Dark Disciple & Bad Batch S3E9 SPOILERS
why i think Asajj Ventress lied to Omega & the Bad Batch
so in Dark Disciple, Ventress and jedi Quinlan Vos fall in love. Ventress eventually becomes torn by Vos, because she recognizes that jedi cannot form attachments like this, and Vos is throwing away everything he’s ever known for her.
secondly, she wants to leave everything behind with him. she ends up recognizing the cruciality of love and what it means to be loved and found. she was alone and betrayed for so long (by family, mentors, and people she was meant to trust) and when she finally found peace and partnership in Vos; that changed her forever. in the end, Ventress turned to the light.
i think that in the end of TBB episode 9, she lies to Omega because Ventress recognizes the Bad Batch’s love for her. they protect her and care for her, and Ventress sees that.
Omega has what Ventress never had; and i believe that part of Ventress wants to preserve that for Omega.
Ventress told Hunter that Omega would have to leave them behind in order to become a jedi, in which Hunter responds, “not happening.”
Ventress sees how the Bad Batch support, protect, and love Omega. they keep each other safe. if Ventress was changed by Vos’s love, and recognized the love between the Bad Batch, i believe that Ventress would lie to their faces to keep them together. to allow them to live the life that she never had.

I'm the last person to want it to happen this way but watching Hunter, who's been so obsessed and so fixated on protecting Omega this whole season, come to a realization that the best way to keep her safe is to let her go is going to be devastating

When I tell you I was crying like a baby.
The moment we saw the tiniest glimpse of the Marauder and then Wrecker in that doorway😭😭😭
Then Omega running at him and him twirling her in the air before pulling her into protective big brother hug🥹🥹♥️♥️💕
And the way Hunter Hunter skipped a step or two to get to her faster…I can’t😭💕
And finally there hug💕💕💕

One thing about the reunion that I’m so normal about is like. Omega’s close to full-on sobbing when she runs for Hunter. She’d been so brave the entire time she was held at mount tantiss, and that bravery is how she and Crosshair managed to escape, but also she’s still just a kid. A kid who spent months there frightened, isolated, homesick, and forced to bottle it all up because even having a doll to sleep with at night was something she could be punished for. After she had to hold herself together for such a long time, she found her way back to her family, and wrapped up in Hunter’s arms as he murmurs that they never stopped looking for her, it’s finally safe to cry. She doesn’t have to be brave anymore

Crosshair: Why do you act like we’re three year olds?
Hunter, exasperated: WHY?!?
Hunter points at Tech: YOU TRIED TO HIJACK A CAR!
Hunter points at Omega: YOU NEARLY JUMPED 20 FEET OFF A CARPARK!
Hunter points at Crosshair: AND YOU ATE MULTIPLE DRIED LEAVES AND ROCKS OFF THE GROUND!
Hunter: AND YOU ASK ME WHY????

As someone who's written fanfics where Hunter sits at Omega's bedside while she's sick/injured and does affectionate things like run his hand through her hair and take her hand, you better believe I SQUEALED internally when we finally got those things in canon.

crosshair: why is hunter using your datapad?
tech: he's trying to figure out what the term 'single father' connotates.
echo: single father?
tech: phee told him that he gave off those... 'vibes'
hunter, reading off the datapad: 'common traits of a single father are being grumpy more often than not, making a loud grunting noise when sitting down or getting up, and nonsensical moral obligations to take care of everyone. they also typically are not actual fathers...'
echo:
echo: holy shit-

After seeing how Tech's bed is a mess, I like to think that sometimes he leaves things lying around on the floor when he works or something, causing one of his brothers to trip over them.
This took way to long to finish, it's stupid.
