Just a little Tech and Phee tenderness because I need more of them in my life ❤️

definitely went nonverbal for a moment there

Wrecker is happy to pose for you whenever you ask.

Thick Healthy Clones Series

Oh beautiful sweet wrecker you are so BIG 🤤 I’m particularly proud of the scar. I worked tirelessly to make it look as organic as possible and I think he really came out looking so good and adorable and sexy all in one. Which is very him 🤭

I’m sorry. What in the actual 🥵

I’ll take Tech next. Thanks.

Another WIP Wednesday is upon us my friends and I bring you some Captain Baja Blast, aka Howzer!

Legit the soft boi Tech interpretation has always confused me. Of the four original Batchers, it’s Tech I wouldn’t worry about when it came to socially protecting himself. If someone was actually making him feel uncomfortable, I assume he’d just walk away, like he does; give them a look of withering disdain, from which there is no recovery; or do one of those cool pressure point holds while telling the offending party to fuck off.

Tech is a grown man and a special ops pilot. He can drink, use firearms, and care for children. He has male pattern baldness and lines on his face. He is a capable adult and I wish that the fandom treated him like one.

Yes, Tech is autistic and has more issues socializing than everyone else, but that doesn’t mean that he needs to be coddled in-universe or by the fandom. He is a grown man who is perfectly capable of figuring out socializing on his own, even if he stumbles more than others. Other characters not understanding him 100% at all times is a fact of life that Tech is likely well aware of as an autistic adult. He is also capable of making genuine mistakes that hurt others to the same degree that a neurotypical person would, and other characters calling him out on it is not ableist. In fact, it would be super weird and ableist for everyone to assume that he is an uwu baby incapable of understanding how to be unkind.

Tech does not need “protection” from other characters flirting with him. Being attracted to an autistic adult is not inherently predatory, and many autistic adults can and do form romantic and/or sexual relationships. Tech almost certainly knows what romance and sex are, and is capable of deciding how interested he is or isn’t in either topic. Him being autistic doesn’t make him a helpless child incapable of understanding “grown-up” topics, and if he ever feels harassed by another character, then I believe that he would not need any help sticking up for himself. Tech is assertive and blunt. He called Cid ugly TO HER FACE once. He does not need Hunter or Wrecker or whoever to intervene for him if he needs to tell someone no or call them out.

Tech isn’t portrayed as innocent and cutesy in canon, but I see this characterization a lot in fanon and I have a hard time believing that it has nothing to do with his autism. As an autistic person who has had to deal with my own classmates talking to me like I was four months old for a good chunk of my childhood, I can’t say that I love this fandom trend.

Not even a Hunter-stan, and definitely not looking respectfully.

Here’s a preview of a redraw I did of Hunter from todays new episode…
