Ahhh! I've been reading your tags on Tech specific posts and I agree!

He is the emotional rock and anchor for the boys and, as much as it would hurt, I do want to see him break. That would be such a sharp contrast to everything we have seen from him, and I want to know how his brothers would react to their most emotionally reserved (distant?) brother.

And I fully agree with your idea of him being an insomniac. I've headcanoned that his brain is almost too active for his own good, and it won't rest - so sleep is either fleeting or near impossible for Tech.

And I FULLY agree with the desire to see Wrecker reconcile with his brothers over what happened in Battle Scars. He choked Tech, and almost killed Hunter, but we only see him apologize to Omega? I was a little frustrated that we didn't see him get to talk to his brothers about that situation, as the brothers relationship is the most important part of the show to me. I don't know but... ah, I think I'm frustrated that we only really got to see how Omega reacted to that whole situation? The episode focused on her, when I was desperate to see how Tech would respond to his big brother choking him - especially since I see Tech as almost unable to process one of his brothers hurting him? And to see how Hunter was feeling after Wrecker almost killed him, but ugh, that's :/

Anyways, just wanted to say that I love seeing your tags about Tech!

honestly i think at this point its a necessity for Tech to finally just. break, and i just hope its in this overly exaggerated way! i want there to be emphasis that Tech has never reached this point before, he has always been able to keep himself under control no matter how exhausted or stressed hes been before. I want the emotional breakdown to crash through him so hard and fast that it leaves him so devastatingly exhausted that he cant even stand on his own and Hunter and Wrecker have to run to catch him from falling. I want Tech's breaking to break them. and really i think more than anything i want Tech's final breaking point to be just. something, ANYTHING relating to Crosshair.

i completely understand why they would keep all the focus on Omega, and show the importance of Wrecker apologizing to her and explaining that he tried. she's not a soldier, this was never the life that she was meant for. she was never trained for this and is so unaccustomed to the terror and the violence that could possibly follow. though she was raised around soldiers, she was kept pretty sheltered, i think. whereas, this is the life that the batch is used to, what they were born for and trained for. so i get the distinction and the importance of Wrecker apologizing to her

but still the FRUSTRATION of not getting the same with Hunter and Tech bc, like you said, these are his brothers, these are two people who he was raised with, trained with, theyve been through everything together. they are his team, his family. Wrecker would never hurt them, and they would never in their life think that Wrecker could hurt them, but now its happened! even if it was bc of the inhibitor chip a line has still been crossed. even if it wasnt Wrecker's fault, there still had to have been a shift in trust and awareness on Hunter and Tech's side of things

and that needs to be addressed! it needs to be rectified! there needs to be a clear understanding of "you didn't mean to do this, and i don't blame you, but it still happened and we still need to work through the aftermath. things have changed, but we can get past it and come out on top" and frankly if i am not given this then i will have to do it my damn self!!

#carif answers #wwheeljack #tech #wrecker #the bad batch #i just. AGH #let me see the consequences for actions taken #let me see the reconciliation!! #give me the horror and the shame and the emotional conversations that are almost too hard to have but NEED to be had!!! #give me the not broken but fractured trust and then show me that despite the difficult things and the hardships that trust is still there!! #and at its very foundations is unshakable no matter what happens!!! #except apparently if you are crosshair bc then one (1) specific bespectacled brother just throws everything out the window then #i just. god. GOD #honestly ive been debating it and i think i might start a fic series that just. addresses these sort of things i guess?? #like i have a few ideas like wrecker apologizing to tech #and also rex and echo actually talking about fives #just stuff happening between scenes or between eps that i wish would have gotten addressed or talked about deeper #cause theres just. THERES A LOT #ANYWAY god sorry i went on a rant dksjf;a #thank you for the ask and im really happy youve been enjoying my tech tags i just. i love him very much and i have a lot of thoughts!! #also sorry this took me a hot minute to get to ive been slammed with work and prepping to move #and wait okay one more thought really i think it would really be more hunter and tech trying to brush off what happened #even echo would probably shrug it off bc wrecker did say that he tried to fight it #but still just the amount of shame wrecker would be feeling for it regardless #i think there really would be this interesting distinction to be explored of like....... knowing there is a line #between who you are and what the chip is making you do #but in that moment that line is just so blurred and everything just kind of bleeds together the longer the chip stays activated #and even after the chip deactivates or is removed its still just. hard to distinguish if who you were before and after the chip #were really two separate people at all #i. this may be a scene and conversation that i want to write between tech and cross bc i just. i have a lot of thoughts about them frankly
