Dr Doofensmirtz: If I had a nickel for every time a Star Wars prequel series had a sad man highly skilled and loyal to the empire spend a night in an icy environment with someone and left with his morals changed and primed to join a rebellious family, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

crosshair's reaction to learning meditation with omega as well as the space swamp shenanigans once again makes me scream into the void itself that star wars the clone wars was cancelled.
we had a 4 episode arc with the bad batch and a newly added Echo on fucking Kashyyyk WITH FUCKING YODA it would have been SO FUNNYY the energy we could have gotten between the tiny fucking space gremlin and these five men would have been off the CHARTS the bad boys getting to know echo fully + echo's adjustment period the 5 of them being together and doing cool shit before shit hits the fan im just

TW: discussions of war and death
at this point I'm sure most people have seen Jennifer Corbett's recent post featuring a gif from the new All Quiet on the Western Front movie:
I haven't really seen any discourse about this on tumblr, but as someone who has A) seen the new All Quiet movie, and B) is very familiar with the book, I want to fill anyone who isn't familiar with them on what is specifically happening in this photo, and what it could mean for The Outpost.
For context, the guy in the photo is Paul, the main character of All Quiet on the Western Front.
To explain some of the current discourse I saw under the original post on twitter, a lot of people think this is referencing the frenchman scene, where Paul mortally wounds a frenchman and then desperately tries to save him, only for said frenchman to die.
But, that's actually not the part of the movie where this screenshot is from.
Right at the end of the movie, Paul's last surviving friend, Katczinsky, gets shot. Paul carries him for miles until they reach a doctor. There, the doctor tells him Kat had died hours earlier, leading Paul to realize he was carrying his dead body that entire time.
After that, Paul quietly lines up to march into battle one last time, now completely alone after watching each of his friends die one by one. And that is where the screenshot is taken.
Now, that's not to say the episode is going to follow Kat's story, or have a frenchman-style crosshair redemption plot, or even resemble any part of the movie. All Quiet is probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen, and TBB is literally a children's show.
My guess is that the running theme of trying to save someone only for them to die/being completely alone is what the episode is going to center around, which would be tonally in line with The Solitary Clone and just in general Crosshair's arc.
Or yk the photo was just for effect, considering the episode is going to "push Crosshair to his extreme in a heartbreaking way" apparently, we really don't know until wednesday.
Regardless, have fun theorizing!

The Bad Batch, Season 2 Episode 12: Outpost (Spoilers):
This episode was phenomenal. I couldn’t watch it on release day, so I watched it today… I’m currently in the Starbucks car park, rocking back and forth in my car, crying like a newborn.
I know Crosshair saw himself in Mayday which makes this episode more emotional and gives more complexity to Crosshair’s character. We get to see this arrogant and stubborn man learn. We get to witness the shift from just being a good soldier to a humanitarian soldier. I’m at the edge of my seat to see the next episodes starring this favorite clone of mine.
And the irritation headache after the explosion? Interesting for a clone “without” his inhibitor chip.
I’ve put my thoughts concisely here, but I could go on for a few hours. I really am happy with this episode.

Alright, seeing as no one (me included) is over episode 2, 12 of tbb. I have some emotions to share:
up until that episode I never understood all the "I got revenge but it didn't help" stuff. But now I do, because as satisfying as the kill was. And as much as he deserved it, the damage has already been done. Now if I could, I'd let it last, full on psychopath style. Kidnap the dude and make him suffer as the hope and entitlement faded once he understood he was powerless. But the thing is, that the wound was too fresh. Killing Nolan?(I don't remember his name) was only a gauze on a deep, deep cut that stretched much farther than the gauze itself. And this is my problem, murdering the dude should have brought closure. But it didn't, and that is what made me feel the most in that episode.
Also rip mayday, his beard outmatched hunters hair in all senses
