@nika6q The way I burst out laughing. Bravo.

heaven is somewhere with autism accommodations and endless seasons of the bad batch.

"Tech's sacrifice in "Plan 99" proved he was willing to risk his life for the squad."

... 🤨

You mean, like when he:

Risked his life to jump after Omega into a dark abyss the instant he had (very rapidly) ascertained there was no other way to try saving her (noting he did this when, at that moment, there was not even a guarantee she could be saved)?

Risked his life by entering a death race to save his squad from the impossible situation of being caught between a blackmailer (Cid) and a gangster (Millegi)?

Risked his life by following Echo and Omega to make sure they were safe while at the cargo container crash site on Serreno, despite his crushed femur?

Risked his life by ensuring Echo and Omega, rather than he himself, were the first to be secured in the (relatively) safest area of the cargo hold when the container was released?

Risked his life every single time they were on a mission, by following orders and seeing his role through in order to ensure the squad's success and survival?

Just saying, Tech's sacrifice didn't "prove" anything we didn't already know about him and every other member of the Bad Batch. He and his siblings were willing to give their lives for each other from the very beginning.

Given the results of the poll, here are a few reasons why I personally adore Tech (since I adore all the CF99 members, I'll be doing one of these posts for each one, just so y'all know... But Tech has always held a special place in my heart since day 1).

1) Glasses. I'm telling you, Tech stepped out of the Marauder onto Anaxes and my brain instantly went "he's my favorite," and I'm pretty sure it's because of the goggles. (And then the more we got to know of him just in the intro story, the bigger my crush grew.)

2) Intelligent, calm, and confident. And he doesn't brag about it, he just knows he is and gets on with using his smarts to help find a solution.

3) He is hilarious. If I were to list out all the times he makes me crack up laughing during the show, we'd be here all day. And it's usually unintentional; he just has an innate dry, sometimes sarcastic wit that I can't help but love.

4) He may process moments and thoughts "differently," but part of the difference is that he seeks to really understand others (especially those closest to him) and takes a broader-picture approach to life, and I just love him for it. ❤️

5) He loves his family, and always acts in their best interest.

6) I mean... Just look at him!!! 😍😍😍

I remember seeing someone claim she "hates kids" a while back. Yeah sure thats probably why Lyana came running to hug her and yell "Auntie Phee!!!!! :D" the moment she landed and Omega thinks shes the coolest around lmao.

Live Tech Reaction:

I need to save all these gifs.

I love that Tech never calls her “The kid”. And I truly think that even in the first half of season 1, it’s really clear that Tech has spent a lot of time teaching Omega all those skills that she uses to survive.

You think she learned droid repair from Hunter? Oh my, no.

Tech Turn = "sharp [turn] with zero thruster pull"

Tech Hug = Tech placing his hand on your shoulder

Examples:

Note #1: a Tech Hug is distinct from a 'Mega-Tech Hug, which involves short little Omega wrapping her arms around Tech's waist and trying to squeeze as tightly as Wrecker does, while Tech affectionately and awkwardly pats her back (examples exist in headcanon and artwork such as this from the talented @doodlingfoolishness :)

Note #2: a Tech Hug is also distinct from a Tech Twirl -

- and Tech Talks -

- and your general, everyday Tech Saves.
