Tech Lives

Tech Lives

Wow. I thought I’d be better by now, but no, I’m still not ready to interact with any media or opinion or art (fan and official) that assumes Tech isn’t coming back. That they lived out the rest of their days without him. That shit is too bleak for me.

I saw some art earlier that said “They all survived” with no inclusion of Tech, and I immediately had all the feels.

Yeah, I’m firmly “no body/no death” and we’re talking about Star Wars so I expect him to show up in a future show/comic/book with zero explanation for his survival. I mean, he’s Tech. We don’t think he had a number of scenarios cooked up while hanging there? Bitch, please.

I love them so much.

🎶 all my life’s been a road to you 🎶

Road to You — Five for Fighting

I was just thinking you know who I haven’t drawn yet? Phee. And, of course, I adore her and Tech. So I drew them together. On their wedding day. You know? The one we saw in S3 EP16? That was such a beautiful way to end the series. (I’m not delusional. You’re delusional.)

(Cleaned-up sketch, base colours, and an un-sparkly version under this li’l cut right here)

Phee’s got little gold beads in her braids because why not? And Tech doesn’t have his goggles because I couldn’t get them to look right, so he just took them off for the picture, okay? Can we live with that? Good. Thank you.

What toy the Batch would buy Omega for her Birthday

(Does she have a birthday??? Whatever - what they would buy her for any occasion because I bet they would buy her presents all the time if they could)

Tech

He would try to buy her a set of books or her own datapad, but would be made fun of by the other members because "that's not a toy"

He would definitely find some sort of chemistry set and quietly observe her playing with it

He's not the type of guy to actually play with it and show her how to play with it, although he wants to step in when she "does it wrong"

He doesn't let Wrecker touch it even though he's intrigued by the chemical reactions

"Independent play and discovery are very important for children's development. I read it in (blah blah blah)"

Hunter

He would totally get her a little play set with dolls

A mini marauder-like ship and five little action figure clones with an extra little girl doll

He would definitely play house with her when he's not taking care of his other children he has the time

One time she got them all into the game and each of the members got to pretend to be the others

Echo

He would buy Omega some fidget toys because he thinks they're cool and will keep her busy

Hunter ends up finding them and showing Omega cool tricks with a yo-yo

Wrecker breaks about half of them

Crosshair sneakily steals one and uses it when he gets anxious

One of the batch sneaks one into Tech's hands when he's talking and he doesn't even notice. He keeps it.

Wrecker

He would buy her an easy-bake oven and "make snacks" and play chef with Omega

Tech boosted up the power so that it could actually cook - "if we have this thing we might as well be able to use it"

Crosshair puts something metal in it and it causes a fire

Hunter bans any sort of cookware that wasn't already built into the ship

Crosshair

He gets her a "build your own weapons kit."

Crosshair: "Don't show Hunter"

Wrecker: "Where'd you even find this?"

Echo: "This isn't for kids"

Tech: "It appears none of us can use it - the box says 'you must be 18 years or older to use'"

Hunter ends up finding it and making himself a weapon out of it

Bonus

Omega insists that Batcher needs her own toys, too

The batch gets Batcher lots of chew toys and fetch toys

Echo insists that Omega's new chore is to clean up the dog toys when Batcher leaves them all over

Tech insists that they do not play fetch in his ship, especially after the so called "fetch incident"

Ofc I had to make a tech version
