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.

September 2023 vs. March 2024

I thought for sure y'all would be more feral for the boys in peacoats, but maybe it's not a Tumblr thing. 😆🤷‍♂️ Just Hunter left to finish!

Tech | The Bad Batch 1.01

TBB S3 RANT (tw: opinions 😱)

Bitches be like "bringing Tech back would've made his sacrifice insignificant-" YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT MADE HIS SACRIFICE INSIGNIFICANT?! HOW THE WRITER'S JUST IGNORED HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER THIS SEASON, IGNORED OTHER CHARACTERS' GRIEF AND JUST ACTED LIKE HE NEVER EXISTED!! The lack of Tech mentions other than his name being said or a scene with his goggles made it feel like his sacrifice added nothing to the story. And that one line from Echo where it's like "hacking into this thing is gonna be difficult...especially without Tech" and that one scene where they use Tech's datapad to bring up information on Ventress just made it seem like the characters only valued Tech for his skill and not him as a person. This isn't me being petty about CX-2 not being Tech or just Tech not being brought back in general the way they handled his character this season was genuinely awful. Ik the writers said that they always planned for there to only be three seasons of the bad batch but the way that they crammed so much into this season and hardly focused on character personality, arcs and plotlines makes me doubt that. The lack of emotions from the characters throughout this season was extremely weird. I dont just mean their reaction towards tech, I mean their reaction to literally anything was boring. The most emotion we got this entire season was in episode five.

The first three episodes of season 3 are perfectly fine and arguably well paced. But as soon as it gets to episode 4, its slowed down. 5, 6, 7 are perfectly fine. 8 and 9 should've been merged into one episode. Especially since the whole "is omega force sensitive?!" is proven to be false and evidently leads no where. 10 is fine, not really needed but fine. 11 is perfect. 12 way too drawn out and literally nothing happens. I can't even remember what happens in 13. 14 is a great build up to the finale. The finale is great, but some things definitely need tweaking.

I love them so much.

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.

Ofc I had to make a tech version
