Great Now It’s 3:35 AM. I Can’t Sleep Bc Of Some Grey Haired, Slim Think, Tooth Pick. He’s Got

He did not just rat out Omega

Okay, this is likely the only thing I'll post on the Bad Batch finale situation:

Tech fans, I would like you to stop calling yourselves "delusional." (Or delulu, or any variant.) I would sincerely ask others to stop as well.

It is both ableist and quite literally inaccurate from a storycraft standpoint.

(Especially because we're talking about a likely neurodivergent character and definitely many neurodivergent fans.)

You weren't. We weren't. The signs were there. The foreshadowing (falling into clouds, the goggles, CX2's Everything) was real and consistent and *intentional.* You are not delusional for LOGICALLY FOLLOWING writing convention patterns and leading where the writing is directing you. (If there's something the majority of autistic story-enthusiasts are good at, it's logical storycraft and pattern recognition, both in creating and consuming! We know how to follow basic steps!)

They can say "oh it was just a red herring", and that is Technically (ha) true, but it is one of the most blatant and frankly cruelly marketed ones, that smacks of stringing fan emotions along to keep us watching when they know many would stop watching if they knew what lay ahead. (Using a basically-confirmed-autistic character's death for shock value and little else, and then using the ambiguity of Is He Really Dead Or Is He This Extremely Similar Looking Guy We Brought in Right After' to keep churning up social media buzz. I might have.)

You were not delusional to have hope - that's what Star Wars is about.

You are not delusional to think this is wrong, a writing fumble, or simply them yanking the football away when *it was there all along.* The road signs were clear, they were just... lying, for lack of a better term.

You're not wrong for being upset about this, the latest in a long history of autistic characters treated as plot devices and catalysts for neurotypical characters' development rather than their own, and fans taken advantage of.

Please treat yourselves better. And if you're on the outside, or neurotypical, please treat us better. I promise, we have actual reasons for feeling pain right now, and delusions are not at all among them.

Thank you.

So is Hemmlock collecting clones now? He has Crosshair, Omega, Emmerie, Tech, and all those misc. other clones we saw.

There is going to be a clone revolution there!

My hope, is that since we had to wait so long for season 2. Season 3 is almost done. And we’ll be getting it this year.

Intentionally

Season 1. 2020

Season 2. 2021

Season 3. 2023.

Maybe they’ll get back on track

I still can’t get over this.

In my opinion. Crosshair never had closure with the Bad Batch leaving him. To him, they are as good as dead bc he believes he will never see them again. Plus he doesn’t know day to day if they survived.

When Mayday came along, he surly reminded Crosshair of Hunter. So much I believe that it is (one of the many) reasons he saved him. When Crosshair was carrying Mayday, he was carrying Hunter also. When Mayday died in his arms, Hunter did also.

Frat Boys❤️💙

I know everything is pretty depressing, so take this beautiful clone babies with icecream as compensation. 💗

Huh....

I believe Tech isn’t dead. In terms of the company. He’s to much of a money maker. I know Filoni killed other characters like Fives and Echo. But Tech is a main character, not a side character.

If they were gonna do something traumatic for the team, it would be like Phee dying or something.

I believe Tech isn’t dead.

Phee X Tech, screen time wasted.

Tech is to much of a fan fav (in the sense of a money maker).

They made it to obvious that he was going to “die” this whole season. A bit to obvious. They wanted us to believe it.

The parallels between him and Hunter falling.

His intellect alone would be a reason the empire would try to save him.

That doc is a big fat liar.

My baby! Tech!! I’m literally sobbing!!
