The Completed Animation For My School Final Project!!

Heehee

Also, what if Crosshair did the uneven pupils thing that birds do when one eye is in the light and the other is in shadow

When Discord discussions create hilarious imagery…

Blurred name just in case

And now I find myself in need of art showing Hunter’s eyes doing this!

He's that dad that didn't want the tookas...and then fell in love with them

Poor, frightened little bean :(

@nahoney22 , feel absolutely free to take as much time as you need. We can wait. We’ll still be here when you’ve taken the break you need. The internet isn’t going anywhere, and those in your audience who love your work love it because you put passion, enthusiasm, joy, and real care into your work. And it shows! That takes time. That takes effort and thought and hard work, and we understand that. What’s most important is that you get the same enjoyment out of making your stuff that your audience gets out of reading it <333

As for anon, who the H E L L thinks they’re entitled to free fan content?? What idiot woke up today and thought “hmmm today feels like a good day to tell that author I really like how much they suck!”

Look, I get it. Waiting for someone to write things, or make fanart, or update the next chapter of their AO3 fic is hard. Sometimes you really, really want new material because life is overwhelming; you’re in too deep and you need a comfort and an escape. I’ve been there myself! But it is never okay to tell a person who makes art, be it writing or fanart or music or edits or any other form of art that they are moving too slow. Think before you speak. Is this something I would want my audience to say to me when I’m having trouble making my stuff? This person pours their soul into their craft and all you have to say to them is: you took too long???

Anon, you should be ashamed. Shame on you for telling an artist that they’re efforts aren’t good enough. Shame on you for hiding behind the barrier that is the internet.

sorry but did I see your newest post and see the request being made around New Year’s Day? And you have only just dne it? your a joke I don’t see how you could wait so long to do it

… yeah 😕

Countdown would like to thank all our brave service members who gave their lives in service of their country.

Happy Memorial Day!

As an irl emotional support human who also suffers from severe anxiety, I can confirm that adventures are what I was built for! It’s less scary when you have to do scary things with people who know what they’re doing, and it can make you braver in the moment because secretly, somewhere deep inside you, you know that you can do the scary thing! And working alongside people who also know you can do it, and encourage and depend upon you to do it will help you overcome your fear! Now as far as the emotional supporting, I’ve only ever done it platonically, so I can’t speak to how important the more private aspect can be. But I do know that providing people with support in the form of help with household work, external opinions on their schoolwork, company during a time when they just need someone in the room with them, a play partner to solve puzzles or strategize against, an organizational aide, good and thoughtful conversation, and someone simply to share a meal with can go miles in terms of helping their mental health. And yours too! If you are a person who enjoys doing these things for your people, then this role in their lives is as beneficial to you as it is to them. So don’t discount yourself as an emotional support human just because you suffer from crippling anxiety. I’ll bet if you examined your life, you’d find yourself already doing these things in perilous situations <333

Among the Bad Batch, we see a lot of the members actually fulfilling some of this role for each other: Crosshair and Echo running interference between Tech and Wrecker, Echo caring about the cleanliness of their shared living space, Hunter quietly keeping track of the medals the Batch has won together, Wrecker helping to regulate and vent emotions at the loss of Crosshair and Tech’s accidental apathy, Tech praising Omega for small victories, Omega’s ever-ready forgiveness especially when someone lets her down, Crosshair being physically present to Echo when the battle turned bad for them on Voss. All of this is emotional support human behavior.

I do think they could absolutely benefit from having a dedicated non-combatant who is the Emotional Support Human who wears the reflective vest and whose job it is to lay their head in their laps and help them through whatever rough stuff is going on this time. They have a lot of destructive behaviors that the Batch really aren’t equipped to handle for one-another. Like Hunter’s personality-shifting confrontation anxiety (I suspect Crosshair may have actually helped him with this one), Omega’s inappropriate selflessness, and Echo’s survivors’ guilt. There’s definitely still a place for us timid, anxious beans who just wanna give our favorite fictional characters some care and attention <333

Every time i think how fun it would be to go on adventurers with the batch my real life anxeity humbles me real quick. Like gurl your hands start to tremble everytime you have to drive somewhere unknown on your own, good luck on fighting with Gulags

So what had started out as a little silly merman!wrecker one shot is probably going to be a multi parter with a murder mystery sub plot concerning crosshair

The Kiners made that one post about the Bad Batch playing cards and it's been living in my head rent-free since, so...

Details:

We're going to pretend that Tech and Wrecker don't have sharper lineart than the other two, because I don't know how to fix it without redoing the lines completely and I do NOT have the energy for that

Wrecker's winning! Crosshair is helping. Mostly.

I didn't know what cards look like in the GFFA, so I made them blue, because, well, everything else is.

Cross has scratches on his face because he's a little menace that gets himself into fights before Hunter can stop him

I want to squish Wrecker's cheeks

Tech is eyeballing Cross because they had an argument about whether something was in the rules (spoiler alert: it probably wasn't)

This took me about 15 hours, I'm going to go and sleep, enjoy

What if Tech survived the fall, and got imprisoned on Tantiss, and somehow managed to find his way to Crosshair and Omega?

What if when he got there Omega absolutely lost it, clung onto him and refused to let go, but Crosshair just stared at the ceiling and refused to acknowledge him?

What if he was so haunted by the thought of his brothers that he just assumed the real, living Tech was another hallucination? What if he won’t let himself hope that Tech genuinely survived because he’s been tricked by his own mind before?

What if Hemlock tortured him so much that he doesn’t know what’s real any more?
