give me a straight explanation for buck being over the moon about eddie having no game. there's precisely none. like we all know he just wants eddie to himself there's really no denying it at this point.

“I win,”
Dust flakes off Blue’s skull as he wheezes from above Killer. His gloves, made of torn blue leather, strangle Killer’s wrist over his head and into the grimy snow. And his other arm, which is definitely broken, is firmly pinned off to the side.
“I-I win,” Blue stresses, “i win— just—give up.”
Killer’s chest heaves under the weight of Blue’s knee, and he narrows his eyes in defiance. It’s not that Blue’s wrong, no, he definitely beat his ass this time. But he isn’t about to admit that.
-----
Killer looses an arm, Blue is desperate to fix things and Nightmare's gang would really like to know where their first member is.

I miss Echo as much as everyone else, but his time off-screen is clearly where he’s meant to be, where he fits and is needed. His ARC training, those stealth moves, his scomp link interface make him an asset more valuable to the Clone Underground where the regs are operating at a severe disadvantage than to the Bad Batch who were literally born with enhanced capabilities. I’m not saying Echo is unnecessary to the Batch, I’m saying he’s a whole Bad Batch unto himself. He may not be as strong as Wrecker or as skilled a tracker as Hunter, but now I understand why Rex, despite his absolute need for more soldiers with expertise, hasn’t called on the Batch more often: Echo is enough 🫡

helio thoughts//tw religion, christianity
i know this is likely an unpopular opinion since a lot of this fandom has religious trauma, but i would kill for some redemption for helio or some positive helioic representation. it'd be just good, complex worldbuilding if it were solely fiction, but since it's so referential to christianity that ally literally says jesus instead of helio on several occasions i think they either have to really differentiate it or maybe add some complexity to the current 'all 'helioics' are bigots, your faith is evil' angle. because in fiction you can do that, but real religions aren't that simple. im not religious myself, but there have been times where i've been in really bad situations and the most welcoming, caring people are pastors. there is a good side to christianity, and in freshman year kristen wasn't a bad person. she believed in all the good things those pastors did, she helped victims of human trafficking, she fought against her family's racism even before she met her friends. her family was horrible and she was indoctrinated into a cult with the harvestmen, but her faith wasn't bad. religious trauma is not inherent to religion, it's abuse that people use religion to justify.
since s1 i have desperately wanted a good character to be introduced who worships helio like kristen did in freshman year with love and acceptance because that's who they believe helio is, and i don't want them to be proven wrong. tracker didn't give up on galicaea after kristen told her what she was like in the astral plane and worked to change her worship, and i think it would be really interesting to see someone like buddy go tracker's direction with helio instead of just rehashing kristen's character arc.
