The Fact That They Did This Is So Real Of Them. I Love It So Much!

The fact that they did this is so real of them. I love it so much!

I appreciate that Crosshair’s redemption arc still allows for the people he’s hurt to express their grievances and come to a conclusion about his growth on their own terms. A lot of similar arcs will either have the redeemed character die immediately after or during their moment of redemption leaving their sacrifice hanging over every possible discussion of their wrongdoings, or strong-arm the entire cast into forgiving them as soon as the main characters do. Crosshair may have been forgiven by Omega (and the audience for the most part) but he’s also done a lot of things that give characters like Hunter and Howzer valid reasons to be angry with him. He told a group of soldiers under his command to shoot at Omega specifically to get a reaction from Hunter and the Batch. Howzer’s entire squad on Ryloth was killed for questioning orders. Of course Crosshair should be shown having to earn their trust rather than simply leave his previous actions out of sight and out of mind

And after Obi-wan is in it Cody will help him out. Because this is before he realizes those two are his responsibility as long as he serves General Kenobi, who will hurt himself going after them.

Cody siping his caf watching Anakin and Ahsoka blow up a building: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Obi-wan running towards the burning building: MycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeys-!

This is just...*chiefs kiss*. I love it!

Jedi Padawans have the classic sitcom bag-of-flour baby assignment to ensure they're prepared to look after young ones in emergency situations

this assessment is not one of the many canceled or postponed during the war

which means that when Ahsoka is abruptly deployed dirtside along with her Master, Grandmaster, and the 501st, she had to scramble to find an appropriate babysitter for her sack of flour

desperate, she tossed it to Commander Cody, who was staying aboard the Negotiator to oversee the campaign, with only a frantic list of the required steps to take care of it while she was gone

when she returns several days later, Cody has painted the sack 212th gold and constructed a sling to carry it around on his front while he keeps his hands free for work

judging by the rank pins attached to the front, the sack of flour is now a lieutenant

once Obi-Wan's heart eyes abate enough, though, it becomes clear to him that Cody and the 212th troopers have not understood that the sack of flour is not, in fact, a literal Jedi tubie

and none of the Jedi or their siblings in the 501st have the heart to correct them, so they let them keep the thing, stomping on the feet of anyone who tries to ask too many questions about their new mascot

once the war ends, Obi-Wan discreetly replaces the sack with a Jedi chrecheling in the middle of the night, having resigned himself to raising another too-young-Padawan

Reva, for her part, is all to happy to gleefully coat herself in flour for the occasion

This is both true and hilarious.

I love this recurring theme that wherever Crosshair goes, he is doomed to connect emotionally to someone and make friends even though he hates everyone. He is gonna be surrounded by people who love him and you bet your ass he is going to complain about it.

Post it!! That's the fun of this site, you get to see your creations. Let it be free!!!

The real question is... do I release the 800-ish word blurb I wrote with my oc and crosshair but just tailor it to be a cross x reader blurb?? (I haven't published anything in so long so y'all will have to be easy on me plz I beg)

Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Purple)

Zabracks bleed purple. Iridonian Zabracks have various levels of purple due to intermarrying with other races. Dathmarian Zabracks like Lyni bleed deep plum while their blush is bright purple.

Crosshair and the batch did not know this. They found out because when some violence happened Lyni helped out the victim before coming home with a blood covered shirt. Cue mass panic.

All the while Lyni has no idea why everyone is freaking out and smacks Crosshair's hands away (he is trying to find the source of blood flow). Suddenly it clicks and she backs up confused, "This isn't my blood." As it sank in, "Zabracks bleed purple," looking at Tech specifically, "didn't you know that?"

Tech was the only one not panicking and caught Crosshair when he stumbled back surprised that Lyni had hit him. Tech was able to explain to Cross, Hunter, and Wrecker about how Zabracks have purple blood.

Cross is still upset about it and does a complete visual check after her shower to make sure she's not bleeding. (The bros check too but he's the most obvious about it. And keeps checking for the longest.)
