Yeah, Imma Tech Lover.

Yeah, I’mma Tech lover.

Woof, shout out to all my Tech lovers out there! <3

Commision for @techhasmjolnir much appreciated :D I love drawing the boys

This…is a lot. I’m firmly “Tech isn’t dead” and Wrecker isn’t even a favorite of mine, but the thought of him snuffing it is a fist to the stomach.

Had a shower thought about the whole Plan 99 thing. Specifically that when asked about why the reason is always, "Well they were going into Tarkin's lair and there had to be a consequence." But they never say why it had to be Tech. Why pick your core character that delivers not only most of your exposition but also humor moments, easy writing work arounds, everything?

Well, if I were picking a fake out character death, I would pick Tech immediately. His loss would absolutely be devastating in and out of universe, but he's also specifically the one that thinks his way out of every situation. Establish a high pain tolerance and make it clear just how fast he processes and you're basically set. You have a devastating scene in the moment and a few dozen ways you can take it from there for how he makes it out. You can even damage him enough to take away some of his utility as a character without totally wrecking it because he's both physically and mentally adept, his loss on the field can be devastating without losing his planning skills and exposition.

But if I were planning a real death? Especially in the manner they chose? It would have been Wrecker. Full stop.

He had no narrative threads to tie up, but we see how completely happy he is on Pabu, how great it would have been for him to stay there. He's been our ray of sunshine since the beginning. He bonded with Omega from the start and has always been there for her.

If he fell from the tram car, was left dangling hundreds or thousands of feet in the air, the very mutation that makes him Wrecker would have made him almost impossible to hoist back up in time, no matter how much they tried. The logic is there. The narrative justification is there - he's always been afraid of heights and now he's here with a choice between facing his biggest fear and his family's safety.

He would do it of course. Even if he can't shoot the cable he'd have an explosive on him that could take out the dangling tram car. He would see his own inevitable death from his worst nightmare and he wouldn't hesitate because his family is more important. And when we lost sight of him we would know that it was almost impossible for him to figure out a way to save his own life before he hit the ground. We wouldn't have dozens of ways to reason it out like we do with Tech. It would be immediately and long term narratively devastating without completely hamstringing their best character for getting out of narrative corners and infodumping.

Tech is the perfect fake out pick. But Wrecker? Wrecker would have been the perfect death. And I think they would have known that too. Picking Tech was intentional because he's the only one that could have survived it.

I am dying laughing. Now let me show how all of this is correct in my on-going smut series. 🤣

Ok all in jest but NOBODY can tell me this man is a dom after these past episodes and this fucking poster. This man THINKS he’s dominant but he’s the most wet cat i’ve ever seen. He’s so fucking pathetic and would fold under a dom in 0.2 seconds. I love him

it me.

I will not apologize for the person I'll become once TBB S3 drops tomorrow

So many things I should have realized were “a thing” before I re-entered the fandom, and Codywan really was the most obvious.

Headcanon: Cody's real name is Codex

On Kamino:

Random clone: Can I call you Cody for short?

Codex: I will eviscerate you. Codex is noble and distinguished, like myself. Cody sounds like I run a kriffing wild space rodeo show.

...

5 seconds after meeting Kenobi:

Kenobi: Hello there Codex, would you mind terribly if I called you Cody?

Random clone: Actually sir-

Codex Cody: MY NAME IS CODY NOW!
