I just saw this post, and it really got me excited about Language all over again.
In an effort to work on my dyslexia, I started getting involved with learning more languages a couple of years ago. I did this because I realized that my mastery of English (not my native language) next to Dutch gave me more insight and orientation in language as a whole. It became easier for me to expres myself.
So far I’m fluent in Dutch and English, patchy in German, and a novice in Russian and Spanish.
I grew up hating the German language, I had it in school as a mandatory class for 5 years but never managed to learn it. Now I realize, with its broad vocabulary, there are endless ways to express yourself using German. It’s a beautiful language!
I started a sign language(NGT not ASL) course yesterday, and I can’t wait to see how the visual/physical interpretation of language in sign influences my way of understanding language as a whole. I’m so excited!
Anyway, language is beautiful, and good, and deserves love.

Headcanons - Dancing
Autor's note: I just wanted to write simple moments where the reader dances with one of the members of the Bad Batch. Let me know what you think!
Tech
It happened when the two of you were alone on the Marauder repairing the damage to the ship.
Tech was playing some music through the speakers of the ship having hit shuffle on his personal playlist.
His taste in music is all over the place.
A slow song suddenly started to play, one you recognized.
A thought popped into your head.
"Hey Tech. Do you know how to dance?"
Tech stopped what he was working on, looking at you through his visor.
"Of course I do. Why do you ask?"
You don't know if you're surprised that he knows how to dance or surprised that you had initially expected him to not know.
You get up from your spot where you were mending some wires and move to the middle of the small space of the cockpit.
"Oh really? Why don't you show me?"
Tech starts to quietly protest stating that you two needed to finish the repairs on the ship.
You are stubborn though, "Oh come on. One small break won't hurt anything."
He caves pretty quickly, starting the song from the beginning again and meets in the middle of the cockpit.
You reach for him first because he always gets hesitant sometimes when touching others. You put your hand on his shoulder and hold his hand with your spare one.
He starts dancing once the two of you are situated.
He knows the steps, but it was fairly obvious he learned to dance by reading instead of actually dancing.
You quickly start to enjoy your time with him, dancing through a few slow songs that conveniently played after the first one. Tech must have done something you didn't notice.
Eventually the two of you stopped dancing for real, instead holding each other close, rocking slowly to the music.
Wrecker
He invited you to go out to a night clubbing
When you showed up you expected everyone to be there, but it was actually just him that was in the nightclub
The two of you sat in a small booth together having a conversation and drinking drinks
Eventually he stands up, “Oh I love this song! Let’s go dance.”
You are very hesitant telling him that you had never danced before.
“Oh don't worry. I don’t either.” He laughs at you, taking your hand and dragging you to the floor.
Once on the floor, he puts you in front of him facing him.
“Just move to the music” He says over the loud music.
The both of you get into a groove together, you copying what you see Wrecker doing
He is actually a great dancer, obviously have done this plenty of times
The two of you dance for many, many songs.
Eventually you find yourself with Wrecker’s chest against your back and his large hands on your hips.
The both of you laughing and grinding up against each other, deep in the moment.
Echo
Everyone was sitting around the campfire in the woods everyone celebrating after a successful mission
Tech had set up a small radio for the group playing music, and Hunter had brought out the booze for the ‘adults’
Wrecker was dancing with Omega standing on his toes, Hunter and Tech had been dancing as well
You had been pulled in to the little dancing party by Omega and you were enjoying your time with the others
The only one who wasn’t dancing was Echo
You decide to change that, approaching the lone soldier.
“Oh, I haven’t danced in a long time, I doubt I am any good anymore.” He argues
“Who is there to judge?” You grab his hand pulling him up to his feet, “Come on. Let’s see some of those famous ARC Trooper moves I’ve heard so much about.”
You pull him on to the makeshift dance floor that everyone had been dancing on
You start to get him to dance with you, his moves slow and awkward at first
Eventually he gets warmed up, practically sweeping you off your feet.
He definitely had those famous ARC Trooper moves
The two of you end up being the last ones out at night, both of you having too much fun to stop
Hunter
It was a quiet night at Cid’s bar. The music had become quite calm creating a somber environment
You and Hunter were one of the only ones in there, both of you sitting at the bar having a drink
It had been an incredibly long day, the both of you seeking time away from the rest of the Bad Batch to relax
The two of you ended up talking about dances and different forms of dances.
He asked you if you had ever been to an event that required dancing
You tell him that you had, with your school you went to when you were young.
“How about you show me how to dance then?” he offers with a small smirk on his face
You end up blushing a little with how forward he is, but you agree to take his hand and move to a free space.
He holds your waist as you put his hands on his shoulders, the two of you slowly move to the music that was playing.
The two of you continue to talk, quietly laughing every now and then
You stay like this for a while, eventually resting your head on his shoulder
Neither of you admit it till much later, but that night was probably the night the two of you had deeply fallen for each other
Crosshair
Begrudgingly, you had dressed yourself up going to the Imperial Ball that happened every year to celebrate the creation of the Imperial Army, and all Commanding Officers in Coruscant were invited.
You had stayed on the outer rim of the hall, watching the crowd
Halfway through the night, a very tall clone had snuck up behind you
“I’m guessing you’re not one for events like this either”
You jump, turning to see that it was Crosshair. You had heard about this famous, genetically modified clone, but you had never met him face to face.
“Not really no.” You respond to him which he makes a small smirk
“Me too.”
The two of you go quiet, keeping each other company while not really talking
He was dressed out of armor, wearing army regulation formal wear.
Eventually you look to him and ask him for a dance
He seemed surprised that you asked, but he took your hand, pulling you onto the dance floor.
The two of you slowly dance the formal dances together, making some very small talk.
Mostly just enjoying each others company
The two of you dance longer than you expected
By the end of the night, he asks to meet you again
