That image was a jumpscare itself, my man looks like the cross between a biblically accurate mushroom and that evil robot with mommy issues from Robots 2005

Clone Wars is basically like Spongebob in that I can play "Where's Waldo" with Dee as a voice actor XD

The absolute JUMPSCARE I had hearing Crosshair's voice come out of this mf

Like I know Dee voices them both but YIKES

#he gives me Medic from TF2 vibes #aka an absolute psycho that should have his medically license revoked but is entertaining to watch #I remember nothing from S5 except for the utterly SOUL CRUSHING finale #now i'm tempted to go through and see how many people Dee voices #this man has the RANGE

A relic from the early days, now with a new addition

Omnitrix

Fashion sense to the max

Bombastic Side EyeTM

Looks sane, is secretly feral

Tells you to drink your water and eat your veggies but has the diet of a college kid on a budget

I have a Statistics final due at midnight so therefore instead of studying I did a stupid “tag yourself” meme with the Bad Batch including Echo! I was gonna find cursed images for all of them but nah. 

So, here y’all go. Tag yourself, I’m Emotional Wreck.

Sergeant Shaggy McGee

-        Big Dad energy

-        Tired TM

-        Nice hair

-        Does not get paid enough for this shit

Cross Stitch

-        Pretends to be emo, is just sad

-        Will bite

-        Basically a house cat

-        Jackass

“Technically”

-        Smol bean

-        Too pure

-        Secret Sassmaster

-        Won’t let you cheat off his tests in school

Emotional Wreck

-        Cries at small animals

-        Scary but sweet (maybe)

-        Chaos personified

-        Supports Cross Stitch in his jackassery

Echolocation

-        Headaches

-        Looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you

during Convergence Hijinks which takes place during the S1 ending

Omega: So how is your Crosshair different from ours?

Adventures!Wrecker: He loves to cuddle and can really be a big softie!

Adventures!Hunter: He's the middle child and likes to cause problems on purpose just to spite me

Adventures!Tech: Our Crosshair has Nexu DNA in his genetic makeup and he lacks a functional inhibitor chip as of two months after the Battle of Kamino

Adventures!Crosshair: I have hair

*Bonus*

Shadow: Furry

I decided to redraw one of my earliest Tintin fancomics! I've been drawing Tintin fanart for a bit before I started posting online.

I can imagine Tintin having a tumultuous relationship with his editor, hardly ever being in the office and having a very low rate of writing articles. Tintin's increasingly liberal politics also clash with the newspaper's conservative values. Tintin and his editor frequently argue over this but Tintin almost always wins out, as he is aware that it is his articles that sell the paper. His editor is reluctant to let go of his golden goose.

More headcanon under the Read More! It's background stuff and things about his editor.

Tintin started his journalism career at just 14, and seeing the dangerous situations he is sent into in his early stories suggests to me that whoever hired him didn't have his best interests at heart. I can imagine his editor taking advantage of Tintin's ambition and naivety, while styling himself as a sort of father figure to the newspaper he runs. I based him off of the editor we see at the very start of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets!

His editor hires him after Tintin demonstrates remarkable skills in investigative journalism, uncovering local corruption for his school paper. He takes advantage of Tintin's naivety, sending him off to various countries to write conservative propaganda pieces for the paper. He hopes Tintin will be easy to groom into a conservative pundit, but after witnessing atrocities and coming into contact with people from different walks of life, Tintin finds himself unlearning a lot of harmful beliefs he was raised with. After he earns global recognition in Tintin in America, Tintin leverages his star power to ensure less editorial interference with his work. His journey away from conservatism is kickstarted upon befriending Chang, who directly challenges a lot of his preconceptions.

Tintin stays with the paper under the misguided belief that he can steer the publication in a better direction with his influence. Deep down he also feels he owes his editor, as it was him who gave Tintin a platform and an oppurtunity to escape his situation, being raised in an orphanage and being deeply unhappy in school. His editor also frequently points out that other papers will not be as lenient with his low turnover rate of articles, and that he's lucky he's still with them.

After Tintin gets Chang a job there as his photographer, Chang ends up befriending a lot of the staff. He's one of the few non white staff members there, which causes quite the stir. While Chang is grateful for the job, he becomes increasingly uncomfortable with working for them the more he learns about the paper. He tells Tintin that by staying there, he's only legitimising the publication.

Tensions at the paper start rising as political tension rises in Europe. Tintin, Chang, and a lot of staff notice their editor acting erratically and making strange demands...

Also yes, Shadow has shown some of Torrent Company Earth movies

Cody cannot for the life of him figure out why Fives keeps asking Obi Wan "Doth mother know your weareth her drapes?"

Rex knows and isn't sure whether to kill Fives, kill Shadow, kill both of them, or laugh. Because he sure as shit ain't explaining it to Cody

Going through my notes for the Adventures of an Idiot series is an adventure all its own

Recently found a drawing method that I vibe with for characters, so behold the Bad Batch! At least their Adventures!AU version from my canon-divergent fic series ✨✨✨✨

When I say Crosshair's hair gave me so much grief, I mean it. He's likes to cause problems on purpose, doesn't cooperate for drawing or when I'm writing. But that's on brand honestly.

All had the same "base" but are tweaked slightly to reflect them not being 100% reg. None of them have only human DNA either; Hunter has Karkadon for his electromagnetic sensitivity, Crosshair has Nexu for his vision and his infrared sight capabilities, Wrecker has rancor for strength, and Tech... he has something. It's anyone's guess, his files were permanently destroyed.

Due to a subscription payment coming up for me, I'm also tentatively opening comms. My goal is $60, so that's roughly six headshots like this at $10 each (humanoid only). Or get two for $15. Or, if you have a clone oc you'd like, I can do those for $5 each. Payment would be through Paypal, and once the $60 threshold is met I'll probably close them again.

Hope you liked the Adventures!AU batch! Both TtFR and FNF are set to return in June!

So

That episode, huh?

#bad batch #the bad batch #clone force 99 #the way echo was one of the few to immediately tease crosshair again because he knows what its like being turned into a weapon #the return to THAT place and ALL the emotions that come with #the old Twiggy armor and the way it just made me feel like I was watching clone wars again #im beside myself #(still dead) #(grad school WILL be the end of me I swear) #Also glad to see people are still wishing they were Crosshair's firepuncher #also also this will probably be the last episode I watch until the season ends because they're all (currently) happy and on level-ish groun #besides #I got Adventures!AU to get back to

This gif out of context is so funny because Crosshair is there, rifle pulled out ready to fucken FIGHT and someone told him "Crosshair no" and he's like

The polar express movie feels like a ancient cosmic entity that's always existed even before time. I can't explain it it just feels as if it's all encompassing, unknowing. Ethereal even.

Adventures!AU story Hardcopy orders

Hello all! Tis that time of year again (since it has legit been a year). From now until Dec 1st, I'm taking orders for hardcopies of two books in my Bad Batch Clone Wars AU series Adventures of an Idiot (And the Idiot Is Me).

The first book in the series Off to a Great Start (234 pages/72k words/5.5x8/Ch 1-25) is $30.

Part One of Book 2 Over the River and Through the Woods (526 pages/164k words/Ch 1-40) is $40.

Both books come with a character headshot of anyone you'd like, but the OtR orders also come with a neat rock.

DM me if you're interested in a copy! If you want both books, you'll get a $10 discount so it would be $60 instead of $70. Payments will be made through Paypal ^^
