My take on Hunter below the spoiler mark. TBB SPOILERS
WE DID IT BAD BATCH NATION WE GOT WET HAIR HUNTER
Dave Filoni and Jennifer Corbett can have all my money, and all I want is a scene where Hunter and Wrecker are teasing Tech about Phee:
Wrecker: Phee and Tech are sitting in a tree, c-i-s-s-s-i-n-gโฆ
Tech: that is NOT how you spell โkissing,โ Wrecker
Hunter: he canโt spell it, but at least I bet he can do it better than you can
Wrecker: yeah!! You been practicing on your pillow, Tech?
Tech: absolutely not!
Hunter: then how are you gonna get any good at it?
Tech: *adjusts goggles* with the proper amount of research, Iโm sure I would be GREAT at it
Phee: *walks in* great at what???
Tech: *chokes*
Hunter: hey Phee, you wanna do some RESEARCH with Tech??

THE BAD BATCH โ 1.04 CORNERED
i canโt believe i never posted this here but hereโs old man hunter with a sexy beardย โจ
โJust one more before you go,โ he said.
It became common, and Hunter beat himself up every time he forgot to give her one. It became a thing for them, especially when she started being away from home more frequently.
They served as reminders for her, how much he loved her, but for him, too.
A reminder of the life he was given. The life he chose to haveโas a father.
She smiled, blowing air out of her nose. He raised his arms as she approached him, laying each of them on her shoulders. He raised his left, bringing it to the back of her neck and pulling her forehead to him.
He planted a kiss to her head then, holding them there briefly. He didnโt want to keep her for long. Plus, he gave her one when she got home hours prior.
But another never hurt. He pulled away and laid his hands on her shoulders, admiring her.
The newest pilot for the Rebellion. She grew up to be beautiful and strongโnot like Hunter ever doubted it. She held qualities from all of her brothers, and Hunter never failed to smile with pride and grief when she practiced her tech-turn for him.
He was so proud of her, but their goodbyes never got any easier. No matter how many times she returned or left, the weight in his chest never faded. Their salutes never felt lighter, the last look that he always gave her before she turned her attention to the cockpit was always taken for granted.
The habit was built up over years, and it now acted as the silent mediator between them to tell her everything heโd reiterated to her year after year, though never losing their importance.
Please be safe.
If you need us, weโll be there.
Iโm so proud of you.
I love you.

hey @mroddmod im crying thanks i fell down a rabbit hole of insane emotions from your recent i hope you dont mind
do you think theres a brief period on pabu where omega just. Cries all the time. She cries when she gets up. She cries when shes in town and walks past a house damaged by the imperial invasion. She cries when she gets a glimpse of crosshairs stump. She cries at dinner, because tech should be there. She cries when shes looking for hunter and cant find him.
and sheโs doesnt KNOW why shes SO SAD. Everything is okay now! Hemlock is gone! Theyre on pabu! No one is going to take her away again! Echo has promised to look into finding crosshair a prosthetic! Tech has been gone for what feels like ages, why is she suddenly crying about that!
But shes just. So sad that all of it happened. That they took her away from her brothers TWICE. That hemlock was trying to take her away AGAIN. That he hurt her brothers so badly. Why couldnt he just leave them alone???
It helps to just. Curl up close to hunter, under the big tree or overlooking the sea. Let him put his arm around her. She tries to stifle the tears for him, but he just squeezes her and says, its okay to cry, kid. Youve been through a lot. Picks her up and sets her in his lap like a little kid and holds her and strokes her hair until the tears decide to stop. Sometimes wrecker and crosshair will sit nearby, rubbing her back or telling old stories. Sometimes it takes a long time, but hunter swears he doesnt mind. Theyve got the rest of their lives.
I wanna know how Hunter became the leader of the Bad Batch. Like, not saying any of the others would have been better, I just mean, there were only four options: a sassy little iPad kid, a trigger-happy man bear, the problematic guy with the toothpicks, and Space Rambo. We canโt assume it was because he was the least chaotic, because nothing could be farther from the truth. In TCW season 7, Anakin asks him who they report to and heโs just like โidk man, if I knew how to fill out a report maybe Iโd try and find outโ and when Anakin gets snatched up by that lizard dragon thingy, the first thing his brothers do is get set up so that Hunter can windsurf behind it like a maniac because apparently thatโs something he tends to do. In TBB S1 when Omega starts that food fight, Hunter tries to de-escalate the situation for approximately 3 seconds before throwing hands. All of his interactions with any sort of leadership involve a minimum of 70% sarcasm. The man has a blaster to shoot droids and chooses to stab them with a knife instead. He left cadet training and the first thing he did was get a massive face tattoo of a skull.
Like, Iโm trying to imagine how that conversation went and all I can think of is, โSir, itโs time to promote one of the members of Clone Force 99 to sergeant.โ โโฆ*long sigh*โ
^Two very valid points. Might I suggest a third/combination of the two?
During Cadet training there was some stipulation put on them: "You can't go get dinner in the mess until you get this training course down in 5 minutes." The four of them have been getting it under 7 minutes (the time expected of the regs, but the bounty hunters training them are being dicks about it 'enhanced clones and all' - probably Brick that brain guy from the Domino cadets arc). Wrecker is just complaining that he's hungry, Crosshair is complaining that Brick is being a bantha's ass, and Tech has 80% mentally disengaged. Hunter is a combination of all three, he's just over it. He's hungry and tired and his head hurts and Crosshair is breathing in that really annoying way that makes his bones feel itchy. But Hunter doesn't vocalize it. Up until that point the four brothers operated on even ground, but this time Hunter squares up and gives them some kind of speech "Alright you bozos, let's get this done."
Crosshair snarks back "Who put you in charge?" Hunter just gives him a death glare (hangry Hunter is not a pretty sight). They line up and 0.005 seconds after the light turns green, Hunter is off like a blaster bolt. It takes his three brothers a couple seconds to catch up to him. Crosshair comes up beside him "What in the kark are you thinking, Hunter?"
"I'm thinking about what I'm getting for dinner and I swear to Sith's hells if that shiny from last week tried to swipe the good rations out from under me again..."
He immediately barks orders to his brothers who are all 'ohhh shit, Imma just shut up and do what he says.'
At one point in the simulation both of Hunter's training DC-17s are knocked out of his hands, so he just picks up a piece of debris that's remotely blade-shaped and just attacks one of the training droids screaming bloody murder. His brothers sort of fall into that 'just try to keep up with Hunter and make sure he doesn't get himself killed.' routine.
The team clears the simulation and turn to look at the timer -
4:59.5
"Not good enough. Again." Brick barks at them from beside the board.
Suddenly, a piece of debris digs itself into the wall next to the timer.
"You said in under five. I'm going to get dinner. If you want us to do the simulation so badly, bring the droids to the mess." Hunter growls.
He turns around and walks out with his middle fingers up, his brothers straggling ebhind them.
Crosshair appears at Hunter's right shoulder and chuckles, "Nice job, Sergeant."
The nickname sticks for the rest of cadet training, especially since Hunter starts training with blades the very next day. Nothing like some hypoglycemic rage to sort out the hierarchy.
Any time someone asks "How the hell did Rambo over there come to be in charge, he's just as bonkers as the rest of you." The rest of the team just shakes their heads. "One- you haven't seen him hangry. Two- we're just trying to keep up and make sure he doesn't get his head blown off. Three- He's the one brother that has the most beef with everyone, we just kinda let it happen. Four- He actually does work hard and manages the team well, makes sure we're okay after missions and that we're eating or whatever (don't tell him that).
Also I have no idea at what age where this would have happened, but I think it's so funny imagining like a bio-age 7 batch having Hunter go feral raccoon-in your walls mode just because he's hungry and the rest just go 'yup, I'm following him.'
We are going to get her back.
miss the way tech would always look to his big brother during missions
RIP to the skinniest waist in the galaxy
loving the dad bod tho
