Tech Tuesday - Tumblr Posts

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.

Let Tech Fuck is the theme of almost all my fics on AO3. I created this tag because, seriously, let Tech fuck.

Anyways, Tech fucks. Die mad about it.

Bless whatever animator decided that Tech’s thighs should be so heavily featured. They weren’t going to give us any bare skin below the neck, but they were going to lovingly draw those thighs. 😍🤤

I edited together all Tech's bits from the Training Combat from S1He, "Aftermath." I zoomed in when appropriate, and slo-mo a few of the small clips. There is no sound on the slo-mo clips. Oh, and I lightened, brightened, and sharpened everything.

Took some still shots as well:

Tech's huge Duck Paddle Feet will always make me smile. 😍😍😍

Never noticed this. "Wrecker, wait!"

At 0:20 watch Tech get knocked off the droid's shoulders. He lands flat on his back and his poor head literally BOUNCES off the floor a few times. Even with a helmet, this would suck bad enough for a non-Autistic person, so imagine what our Tech was feeling.

I always though he'd just had the wind knocked out of him and was being a Drama Clone. But no, he really whacked the crap out of that big old melon of his.

Also, hello neck and HELLOOO thighs.

Wrecker picking him up with hands under his arms is so cute.

How am I just seeing this beauty now? Why would the algorithm deny me this?

a drawing of tech from the bad batch, standing straight on with his head turned to the right, looking into the distance. he is wearing a dark grey sweatshirt with a pumpkin design, each pumpkin has a different carved face. one is wearing tech's goggles, one has a witches hat, one has an eye patch and one has cat ears plus whiskers. He is also wearing dark green trousers with a white t-shirt under the jumper. He has a small smile on his face, and is wearing round framed glasses rather than his usual goggles, his hair is an auburn brown, plus is longer and wavy. the background is a sage green with a mustard yellow textured circle highlighting tech.
