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 š ) 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 iām 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.
i feel like the infantilisation of autistic people in the eyes of science and psychology really stunts them when it comes to talking about some of the issues that come from being autistic in a world built for nt people. like i dont think ive ever seen substance abuse rates discussed wrt autistics because thats an āadult problemā and the public at large has an image of autistic adults as overgrown kids, despite the fact that almost every other autistic adult ive met has had a history of substance abuse issues at least partly in response to the stress of existing in the world as an autistic person. like if youre constantly beset on all sides by stress and sensory overload of course youre going to gravitate towards drugs and alcohol and things that smooth over those sharp edges, make socialising easier, etcā¦
*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.

I know a few people like this... such individuals usually wear me out.š

*inhales* EEEEEEEEEEP!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The mash-up I didn't even know I NEEDED!
just imagining an AU where the Bad Batch meet the Serenity crew
The Crew
Jayne and Crosshair shooting contest
Jayne and Wrecker. (That's it.)
Jayne and Hunter and knives
Jayne teaching Echo Cantonese swears
Mal teaching Omega cantonese swears
Mal and Hunter staredown when they realize they're both Sargeants. Hunter slightly confused when the Crew call Mal "Captain".
Wash and Tech trading crazy flying stories
Wash:I'm a leaf on the wind Tech:What does that even mean?
Wash teaching Omega more about "flying is about a feeling" (Leaf on the Wind)
Wash responding to Crosshair's snark with the cheekiest sarcasm
Wash asking Zoe which Sarge they're gonna listen to
Zoe, annoyed by the Sargeants, and seeing how well The Crew (except Jayne) get along with him, decides Tech is in charge because "it's his ship, Sir... Sirs"
Zoe teaching Omega the 1st Rule of Battle
Zoe and Crosshair holding direct, unreadable eye-contact, arms crossed, for about 3 seconds before slightly nodding to each other. They never say a word to each other, but there is just pure understanding and respect between them. Neither the Crew or the Batch really get it.
Zoe asking if they can trade Jayne for Wrecker
Simon being overwhelmed at the idea of bacta and medical droids, staight up fainting when he finds out Echo was literally blown up, and is now half droid
Kaylee repairing the ship with Echo while Simon is passed out
Kaylee making improvements to the ship that Tech was too Tech-y to think of
Kaylee helping Omega paint her room
Kaylee being unbearably cheerful with Crosshair (she paints a tiny flower on one of his reflector discs he sticks it to the lid inside his wepons kit because it reminds him of his nickname for you)
River playing hide and seek with Kaylee, Omega, and Wrecker. They resort to asking Hunter to track her down, and she's almost too good even for his senses
River balled up in the copilot seat just absorbing every single thing Tech says, occasionally interjecting with her own theories/calculations/corrections
River, to Echo: He's proud of you. ("Who?") Your twin. The others are too. You lived to fight another day.
i had more ideas but i made myself cry with that last one. will probably add to this over time and do a list from the side of The Batch
I would say Spoilers, but you've likely seen the GIFs if you're reading this. That said:
This is equal parts sweet and sad - it is so obvious that Crosshair's at his lowest and trying to get Omega to escape without him. Thankfully she doesn't buy this, and matches his stubbornness... and maybe his sass, too. š Also, the fact that he's still helping her despite still trying to convince her to leave him. š„ŗ
STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH S3x01 ā Confined
This is... what's the word..... let's go with, a terribly good idea for the series, because it would definitely work, despite how much it'll hurt to watch.š
OK, so, Wreckerās inhibitor chip is starting to act up. The show is definitely implying itās only a matter of time before Wrecker starts to go all Order 66 in a manner similar to Crosshair.
Meanwhile, thereās no confirmation on this theory one way or another, but if thereās any chance that the theory of Omega being a force-sensitive clone is true, AND given the fact that Wrecker and Omega are clearly bestiesā¦
Wrecker may go Order 66 on Omega.
And all I can say is, do it.
Dew it, Bad Batch.
Hurt me the way only a TCW-level Star Wars cartoon can hurt me.
Attack of the Lula! Had anyone else tried this on Crosshair, he definitely would've decked them.

I nearly busted up laughing, this is FANTASTIC!š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
im not a huge jedi/clone shipper but that one scene with anakin and rex and hunter is just standing there is so funny like how was hunter SUPPOSED to interpret that
AKJH FAKJSDF he must have been so confused, imagine he brings it up with Rex at some point like "so it must be tough now that your bf's dead" and
Rex: ??????
Hunter: what's "??????" were yall not fuckin
Rex: ????????? no he has a wife???
Hunter: HE'S STRAIGHT?
and Rex is just so offended that Hunter could htink he'd be in love with someone that ugly that he storms off.
Honestly, spot on.

Yes I talk, or rather text, too much. I mostly just add my two cents to other posts, but I'll try not to where it's not welcome.
