Hello, nurse!

August 13, 2024: Tech
They gave us all this, and for what?
So people could drop insane takes about how Phee was abusing Tech? How Phee was disrespectful to the Batch? How Phee was a bad person who hated children?
Yes, I will die mad unless they fix it.

I'm not good at editing images but I can't get over this screenshot. Tech is normally the one with his hand on the shoulder of someone he cares for and seeing Phee with her hand on his shoulder gives me all the feels. And then he holds her and they fly through the air.
Why does Tech need to be uniquely dead in the 'it didn't stick' death franchise?
Echo, Gregor, Palpatine, Maul, Boba Fett, Ventress, Fennec, all of them somehow could be brought back but not Tech! No way! Just none!
If the position is 'no it should stick for once' okay I can even understand that but that's what should be SAID, not 'IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE'.
Sorry but like. It's extremely possible. It's called 'yeah he didn't die'. That's all that was done for Gregor and Echo. NO OTHER explanation was given. At. All.
Never going to be over it. Never going to believe it.

Still not over it over a year later
I love this man and his pouches.






character reference: tech’s “back pack”
The true finale. 😍



Hunter and Tech are enjoying their retirement.
@deezlees and I had fun directing our husbands to fulfill our photoshoot demands. Our next goal is to get the full batch one day.

Another meme I made using the template by @vimse
I will, in fact, die mad if they don’t bring him back and give them a happy ending.

Late night doodle. Something sweet. Hope it brightens your day. These two love birds brighten each other's day. (I know it is a sketch but I want to fix it so badly, lol)
This is the most seen I’ve ever felt.

I’ve written over 100,000 words of smut. My Bad Batch, reverse harem, dom!Tech smutlet series is now 50 installments long and still ongoing. It was supposed to be pure porn without plot, but some plot has crept in. (I think each smutlet can still be read standalone.)
But yeah, I started writing Bad Choices because I’m super horny for Tech. 🤷🏻♀️
AND FOR WHAT? So weird “fans” could accuse Phee of harassing him or bullying him or doing any number of horrible things she didn’t do?
So they could make us love him and them more so it would be all the more painful when they dropped him from the sky and his memory from season 3?
NEVER GETTING OVER THIS. At least, not until they give him back to us and to her.



Tech and Phee first time met
Can we discuss that an EXPLOSION is illuminating Tech’s codpiece and thighs? 🤣

This is from the announcement of the Bad Batch comic miniseries.
This is so beautiful I want to cry. I really love them so much.

Happy Tech Tuesday! I finally finished this piece! A tender, playful moment between Tech and Phee underneath star fall.
Plan to make a print of this soon.
Rewatching S2 E2 of The Bad Batch and observing Tech fret over the re-entry boosters on the crate as it falls to the ground. It'd be cool if he just made some Mandalorian-like re-entry boosting modifications to his suit, but didn't tell anyone because he thought "it was obvious" after that experience.

Tech and Phee tonight ❤️
You don’t have to do this, but I just saw your Crosshair watercolour painting, and I was wondering if you’d do one of Tech/CX2?
Again, just a suggestion, you don’t by any means have to do it

I absolutely wanted to :) it turned out even better than my Crosshair version…! I may need to practice on a few more and then redo Crosshair. Thank you so much for sending a recommendation!
Tech Returns?
So yeah, people are freaking out because there's only 4 more episodes left in The Bad Batch :( but more importantly is that enough time to bring Tech back?
If the answer is yes you might be delusional. Emphasis on might, it could happen, and Tech can live happily ever after with Phee but honestly, when has romance ever worked out in Star Wars?
If the answer is no then listen to this: Crosshair had two season’s worth of redemption, the tale of the brother who willingly killed and burned down innocents for the Empire of His own free will. If Tech is CX-2 then he could be the reverse of Crosshair, the brother stripped of personality who willingly(?) kills and burns down innocents for the Empire of free will(?) but instead of redemption they never get him back. Again they have to live with having their brother trying to kill them knowing they can't get him back.
I've got something worse.
The Bad Batch have dets placed in the base and like, 15 seconds before detonation the camera cuts to CX-2 who’s visibly injured, rips off his helmet to reveal he is Tech but only we know that it was him and he dies alone on Tantiss.
watch the last shot of the season finale be of CX-2 taking off his helmet and revealing Tech
They should bring back Tech as CX-2 elsewhere and give him an un-brainwashing arc anyway because:
1. It would make ALL THAT *gestures at every CX-2 appearance before the finale* in season three make sense.
2. It would mean they fake-out-killed the man four separate times (fall, boulders, waterfall, mild impalement), and I find that extremely funny.
If Tech Lived…
So I am and have been a Tech Lives theorizer since season 3 started. But immediately after watching the finale I’ve been thinking… I don't write angst but it's better to write it than just say it.
——————————————————
Hunter blinks spots away as he limps away from that awful ‘reconditioning machine’. His senses are in full overload but Hemlock took Omega somewhere, He has to find her, fast. The spots clear enough and he spots an abandoned electro-staff. Something moves in the corner of his eye. It's one of those Shadows he thinks fast and hurls the spear into the Shadow’s abdomen. The Shadow is impaled in a flash of sparks against the wall. His helmet glitches open from the ‘staff.
“No,” Hunter whispers “No, no!” He yells this time
No, no, no, he died during the- wished he could deny it but that was his brother. Crosshair emerges from the shadows and gapes at the Shadow- no their brother. Hunter darts over to feel for a pulse.
”He’s gone,” Crosshair declares
Crosshair is right.
”Tech is gone, Hunter,” Crosshair continues “Hemlock made sure of that,” He adds mournfully “We have to go get Omega”
Hunter pauses for a moment then turns, picks up a blaster, head spinning, and follows Crosshair out the door. I just killed my brother. He shoves that thought away quickly. We have to get Omega first.
They both emerge onto the rainy landing platform, right in time to see Hemlock’s shuttle leave. He and Crosshair both raise their guns to shoot uselessly but they're too late. Hunter can't hold back the scream he’s been holding in. I killed Tech and lost Omega. I've failed.
——————————————————
Yeah… that was the thing I was thinking about. If Tech lived and was revealed to be CX-2 when he was impaled(because his helmet glitches cause of the electrico staff) that they wouldn't have enough time to rescue Omega.
Can you tell I don't write angst?
