I Will Never Not Like A Pong Krell Hate Post, Especially One This Well Done.

Quite possibly the biggest indicator that Crosshair has a heart past all that jerking exterior, and I love it.

Crosshair and Wrecker’s Relationship

The Clone Wars S7 and The Bad Batch

YES! TIMES A MILLION!!! Crosshair's definitely a caring guy, he just has a resting bitch face and is only able to speak in Basic, Shade, and Fighting Words (and that's if you get him to talk).

Just 2 Crosshair things I noticed during my TCW arc rewatch (I’m not a gifer and Disney+ figured out screenshots so you’ll have to go back and watch to witness)

First, the Crosshair sibling energy. Listen, as 1 of 5 kids, I LIVE for the sibling energy the bad batch give. It’s everywhere. First and most evident between Crosshair and Wrecker in TCW arc with the “topping” each other. Now we’re all aware of the badass hallway scene in ep 4, but may I turn your attention to after the intro of ep 3. Wrecker shoots some droids, and then Crosshair takes a turn and after some impressive shots turns to wrecker and does the cocky shoulder shrug, aka the sibling “whatcha gonna do about it??” Obsessed.

Next. Crosshair’s gentleness towards Echo. I know I know, Crosshair HATES regs. He’s grumpy, he’s rude, etc etc. Exhibit A and B that Echo’s the “exception” (and secretly Crosshair is just extremely protective of his brothers). 1. Ep 3, after Echo exerts a lot of energy shooting down a flying droid, Crosshair immediately goes over and pats him on the shoulder in a “job well done, you ok?” gesture. Next, it’s fabled there’s only 1 Crosshair smiling scene found in ep 1 of season 7 TCW. I GIVE YOU ANOTHER! At the end of ep 4 of TCW season 7, after Hunter says “come find us”, Crosshair is full. On. Smiling. At. Echo. And not just “yeah that’d be nice I think we’re cool” but “heck yeah you’d fit right in our squad is so cool you’d be a great addition”.

Listen, I’ll die on the “Crosshair is a good man he’s just the grumpy goth sibling going through puberty and will die for his family but god forbid they know it ” rock and seeing these interactions towards Echo has closed the coffin for me

I decided to create something that I wish I had when I first got diagnosed with autism - so here’s my comic for ASDComicTakeover! You can find out more about the project here!

is it weird or normal to have a shutdown instead of a meltdown? like i’m talking about them overlapping and shutdown taking over meltdown kind of thing.

for example, i’m in a highly distressing situation, either in class, the store, on a trip or anywhere else where there is lots of sensory input, changes, new things and people.

rather than starting to pace, hit my head, scream, punch things and cry my brain goes into shutdown and reboots to avoid a meltdown, and i go into non-verbal autopilot mode until the reboot is done and it feels like i’m starting on a clean slate. zero viruses detected.

so is that normal? i don’t like meltdowns because i can get violent, so shutdowns prevent that, so is it like a coping mechanism or something?

also is referring to my brain as a computer system strange? media and the society overall seems to view autistics as robots and many autistics don’t feel like it’s accurate and rather offensive. but my brain has always operated like that.

Shutdowns vs meltdowns are completely normal and individual. Many (not all) Autistics will also switch from physical meltdowns to more internalised ones (shutdowns) as we get older.

We may not even have meltdowns or shutdowns until life circumstances pitch us enough difficulties to cause one. And some never have them at all.

And yes, I think of my brain like a computer system, too! So all normal!!

One of my favorite scenes in Rebels, I couldn't control my laughter when I first saw it.🤣🤣🤣

AP-5 in Star Wars: Rebels - Season 3, Episode 19 ◦ Double Agent Droid

if you want to actually truly support autistic rights, you need to accept the fact that many autistics will forever and unchangeably be wildly socially incompetent, and this does not make them bad or dangerous.

*inhales deeply* ..... oof. I felt this one in the pit of my stomach.

nd culture is not having anything to say and then one of your special interests comes up naturally and you think "talking about this has gotta be better than the silence right?" and next thing you know your 40 min into an info dump and the other person is barely paying attention.

You said this far better than I ever could. I'm autistic myself, and I can relate with Tech in a few ways, especially the infodumping (and being ignored or silenced when I do it 😅) and being WAY too literal, so it's nice to see that there are others who feel the same about Tech.

i decided to yell into the twitter void about tech today because i’m an autistic person who is tired of seeing a fictional character who exhibits behaviors similar to my own condemned for those behaviors and called a negative stereotype.

Me, often called a Vulcan by my family: 👀... 🖖🙄

Autism culture is identifying with autistic coded characters, but as soon as someone who is not neurodivergent says "Hey you remind me of *insert autistic coded character*" getting very uncomfortable
