My past: *pOPS OUT OF KRIFFING NOWHERE TO HAUNT ME*

good lord, that fanfic. it's a legend of it's own. I remember being just floored when I found out a friend of mine's friend was the one who re-uploaded that story to Fanfiction.net when it got taken down for being so... Beyond words, shall we say. Anyhow, she re-uploaded it, and provided us endless hours of amusement.

Friends and I in highschool used to laugh ourselves sick taking turns seeing who could read it out loud the longest with a straight face. I'm not sure I'm proud of the fact I excelled. The contained laughs were painful.

i hope ebony dark’ness dementia raven way, age 33, is enjoying the my chemical romance comeback and live tour,

Can I just say on behalf of all of us how beloved the meme force 99 blogs are? Seeing the posts pop up on my dash always makes me smile, thank you for brightening up everyone’s day - I just really appreciate the fact that you guys are (tech)nically “big” blogs but you don’t just use it for clout or gatekeep stuff or whatever, you’re just genuinely so much fun to interact with and it’s awesome

OKAY ONTO QUESTIONS was there an origin story behind making the blogs? Or was it just kind of a spontaneous thing?

Thank you!! 💫 Before I started this, my favorite blogs were chaotic characters' incorrect quotes such as @incorrectdisasterlineage and "what if they had social media accounts" as done by @welcome-to-the-holonet.

One day on my commute to work I started thinking of incorrect Crosshair quotes and then typed them up on my phone notes app in the parking lot. Suddenly I had 20+ ideas, such as:

I figured I'd post one every day and that the blog would live for about a month, tops. I didn't know that rp was a thing. I'd joined Tumblr as a regular user only a month earlier.

But then I told a couple people, and they reblogged, and suddenly the inbox started filling up and people started wanting to "talk to Crosshair" and I found that my answers flowed easily.

But the weird thing was, I kept getting messages saying "Do you roleplay?" and I'd ignore them like um, okay internet stranger, what I do or do not engage in with a trusted partner in an intimate setting is none of your busine- oh.

So anyway that's how I found out that I am an online roleplayer.

two more photo studies! I’m supposed to be doing something else but yeah

this time it's toothpick man and our favorite squad mom

ever think about clone+bad batch cuddles? ❤️

Hun, I dream about clone cuddles...

Cody and Fox are relaxed in their cuddling. Very laid-back, chill, domestic. The type to put their feet up, rest their arm along the back of the couch, and let their loved one lean back against them while they watch a show or casually chat about life.

Rex can be domestic as well, but is much more tender... for instance, taking an otherwise ordinary moment of dish-washing and turning it into a sweet moment of affection just by wrapping his arms from behind and swaying to an unknown tune.

Wolffe and Crosshair, our resident grumps, are more likely to cuddle while in the privacy of their beds. Crosshair prefers warm, cozy spooning at night as he and his loved one fall asleep, while Wolffe likes early morning nuzzles while his loved one wakes up.

Fives is one (1) snuggly boi. I firmly believe physical touch is his love language, so it's only natural that cuddling anyone he cares about, lover or friend, is on his daily to-do list. He has no preference for time of day, position, or if other activities are going on at the same time; he's very adaptable.

Jesse cannot cuddle without getting frisky. He just can't help himself. Even innocent or sleepy cuddling will turn into a heated moment if his loved one isn't careful. However, he wont go there if he's sick or in a bad mood, and will actually probably cry if he's cuddled in these moments.

Kix and Hunter are the secret cuddle monsters masters. Any activity with their loved ones gets cuddles built into it. Hunter, especially, uses cuddling as a way to connect with his lover on a deeper level. But Kix will also take the time to snuggle up with his loved one if he senses they're in need of some comfort.

Before his capture, Echo was 100% a big spoon cuddler. He used cuddling as a way to make his loved one feel supported and special. After he joined the Bad Batch, however, he began to appreciate his loved one spooning him instead. It helps him feel grounded and less self-conscious about his cybernetic body.

Hardcase and Wrecker have the most energy, so they don't always slow down enough for any real cuddling to happen. It's more like their loved ones cling to them while they go about their days... sitting atop their backs while they workout, nestled in their laps while they eat, etc.

Finally, Dogma, Tup, and Tech are the least likely to cuddle on a regular basis. For Dogma, it's a trust issue, and even if he's been with someone for a while, he'll still be reserved about it. Tup gets claustrophobic and overheated if cuddles go on for too long, so he prefers other forms of affection. And Tech just doesn't even think about it; his loved one cannot be shy in asking for cuddles if they want them.

hi! it’s me the new blogger lol. do you have any tips on how to start a one shot/story? i’ve got plots but i don’t know how to go into them… once again feel free to ignore this <3

Hello new blogger! Welcome back! 😃

Honestly, best piece of advice I have is to just start writing about whatever idea(s) you have. Even if it's just a sliver of an idea. Even if you don't start at the beginning. Even if you aren't sure how it might end. Doesn't matter. Start by breathing life/words into the ideas you do have.

I've found it's so much easier to start by drafting out whatever you possibly can first, and then circle back to edit it. If you try to edit as you go, or try to have a full-fledged plan for a story before you even start, then you likely won't get very far. In fact, you probably won't know what exactly you're writing until you've already written it! Creativity likes to be spontaneous like that.

Fanfic is cool in that it gives you space to play around with things, too. You can write one shots or drabbles or whatever... little scenes that don't need to connect to a bigger plot, or even have a plot at all. It could simply be a snapshot into a character's inner world, or a description of a person or place, or a brief conversation, or filling in the blanks of a story. You can always share whatever disjointed scene you want, and never and not have to worry about anyone being disappointed or confused.

And over time, as you get your creative juices flowing, you may find ways to connect your scenes, or ways to expand them into something more. Or you may find those snippets were never meant to be bigger stories, but they'll have given you inspiration for another idea that is.

And if you ever feel like you don't have ideas but still want to write, you can always ask for requests or get a prompt book or something and see what comes from that.

Weird ask but how does the Bad Batch deal with an s/o who is dealing with insomnia. Like they just can’t sleep and it’s driving them crazy. Feel free to ignore if you’re busy 💜

Hey guess what problems I've been having lately 😭 Remembered I had this prompt waiting and thought I'd give myself and anyone else who needs it a little Bad Batch comfort tonight... 🌙

Hunter is a light sleeper, so he's immediately aware when you start tossing and turning next to him. He has his own little tricks to help him fall asleep, and he'll patiently walk you through them until you start to drift yourself. Whether it's a breathing exercise, tensing and relaxing muscles, or switching out the sheets for cooler ones, he always seems to know exactly what will work for the given circumstance. His best trick though, he reserves for himself, which is simply having you sleep beside him. Hearing the familiar pattern of your quiet breathing at his side is the easiest way for him to fall asleep himself.

Wrecker turns to the art of distraction. Rather than letting you fight to fall asleep, he pulls you from the bed and gets you focusing on other things. Maybe he'll drive you around town and ask random questions about your childhood, or he'll dance with you in the kitchen while a some cookies bake, or he'll pull out a dusty old board game and laugh as you try to figure out the rules. At some point, all the activity will tire you out and he'll carry your drooping form back into bed, smiling as he falls asleep curled around you.

Tech, obviously, wants to take a scientific approach. He'll start with a simple Q-and-A to gauge whether this is a one-off bad night, or part of an unhealthy pattern that needs to be addressed. However, his plans to diagnose end up derailing after this point, since the two of you end up continuing to talk about all sorts of things... You can't help it, you both just love to chit-chat. He'll brew some chamomile tea and wrap a blanket around the two of you... and eventually the conversation will peter out, and you'll end up asleep in each other's arms.

Crosshair often struggles with sleepless nights himself, but when he sees you struggling, too, he's going to push aside his own weariness to help you fall asleep. His go-to is a nice calming walk, even if it's dark and chilly outside, just the combination of fresh air and stretching limbs feels nice. If it's still not enough, he'll then try some massages or a warm bubble bath (and maybe some other intimate activities). Anything that helps soothe away all that pent up frustration from the night, so even if you and him don't fully fall asleep, you'll still feel rested.

Echo is all snuggles and softness. He'll pull you over to his side of the bed and hold you close, running soothing hands over your back and combing fingers through your hair. He'll start by talking, quiet little comments about random things that pop into his head. Bonus points if he can feel you smile against his chest. Then it'll turn to humming, or singing if you're lucky. If you're especially restless, he likes making up songs about how energetic you feel and how you can't close your eyes, a weird form of reverse psychology that surprisingly works like a charm every single time.
