Tech Is Rad

Tech is rad

And wears croakies 🕶️

He was meant to be skimboarding but it’s up to you, my fellow Tech stans. Surf or skim?

After 7 months of my roommate seeing The Bad Batch in the background of his daily life, he decided to watch the show.

MIND YOU I had to take a day off work after the finale, crying on the couch to him about Tech and how horribly his death was handled, AND him ENCOURAGING ME to paint a Tech portrait in TECH’s honor…

This man made it to season 3 episode 9 and decided he needed a break because “it’s just so sad now, and they made Tech into a brainwashed monster machine, how could they make Tech into CX-2???”

And… my man, I get it… been there… but… how did you forget? Like it really was THAT mishandled.

In addition, my only other friend decided to watch it for the same reason. Completely saying “I don’t think I’ll ’get it, but I gotta watch’ … she now is rewatching it immediately after finishing and both her and my roommate are saying they should watch TCW because they need more of the clones.

I come to you again and ask - what the hell is with this show that makes us all feral???

I'm really appreciate that Tech doesn't fit in the trope of "scrawny nerd man is weak". I love that he's a huge nerd and an elite soldier.

I love scenes where his strength is shown like when he literally carries echo on his back up that ventilation shaft when they save him. Or when he peels back the freaking metal wall.

My favorite one has to be when he's bitching at Wrecker for dropping the ipsium and they're just like

Wrecker: You carry it then!

Tech: Fine! >:(

Then he just slings that huge container onto his back.

Well, according to my kudo report this morning, yesterday someone read through my entire Bad Batch smut series. That’s 76,000+ words (and still going strong.) Just…wow. 🥹

Okay, but hear me out…
