I’m Cosplaying Her Next 🫡

I met Dee Bradley Baker!! (In Echo cosplay!)

I had voice memo recording in my pocket while I was talking to him, so I got most of what he said and wanted to share!

I brought up CX-2 (cause I had to) and said that he was a really intriguing character and that I wanted to cosplay him next and he said:

“Oh! Yeah, really scary. That was a weird one to play, cause I did a slower clone voice but they fudged it some so it sounds different. Really lethal, frightening”

We also touched on Crosshair and Echo having really incredible stories after I mentioned they were my favorite.

Then this was his response to me telling him I really thought CX-2 was Tech (which crushed me a bit inside 🫠) :

“Oh a lot of people did. I’m glad he wasn’t. I want Tech to have his heroic moment. The ending that every clone wish they had. That you save your colleagues…it’s brilliant, the way he figures it all out, he makes the long shot, and it was good.”

My heart literally dropped when he said “I’m glad he wasn’t” like OH ouch (even though I 100% still believe CX-2 was Tech and Dee’s just glad it was never confirmed to be him)

Being so honest: I felt a bit empty after the autograph interaction after I’d had so much anxiety leading up to meeting him, but in retrospect he was very nice!! He said he was impressed with my armor and took a picture of me, which is crazy what do you mean I’m on his camera roll-

I saw him again later to get a picture, and I said “Thanks for the hand!” (my friend suggested I say that) And he smiled and said “that’s a great line” which was a very nice close to the interaction.

Here’s the autograph, he signed my scomp arm!!

Semi Spoiler for The Bad Batch . . So we saw that leak, and it destroyed us. Only thing I took from that was the first panel, then the rest was inspired. I've added some bittersweet comfort angst with some long overdue brotherly support.

Are you ever just randomly scrolling and get reminded that hey, Tech is kinda dead! I still think they’ll bring him back- but the fact that in the show, everyone thinks he’s gone. And it’s not denial!! It’s that I’ve consumed so much fan content on here; fics of his rescue, seen him constantly through great fanart, it’s like he never left. And then I’ll see someone mention the fall again and it’s like- Oh. There is actually a very real possibility he is dead.

But I will die on the Tech lives hill cause us believers are gonna have one of the best “I told you so” moments in the fandom I guarantee it

My thoughts came after seeing this lovely art by @kelstares

kel :)

can't wait for his return in season 3 hahahaaa

guys I really hope it’s him

please please please please

So I was thinking about CX-2 (Tech’s) memory

Like he has all of his old skills like encryption and flying a ship but didn’t remember the location to Pabu

But there are those moments of hesitation around Omega and Phee, deja vu perhaps…

And head trauma from The Fall could have caused most of this amnesia

But… what if Hemlock did something to Tech like what the capitol did to Peeta in Mockingjay?

Where they twisted his good memories so when he saw Katniss he wanted to kill her

…And that also got me thinking of a Real or Not Real interaction between Tech and Phee…

*cough* Someone write this… @clownery-and-fuckery I’m looking at you *cough*

they’re so badass

…can we get a reunion please maybe 💔

manifesting the bad batch season 3 trailer with this redraw of Crosshair and Omega

and old art for comparison

(Addition to the winter holiday batchers art) I imagine Crosshair not wanting to participate in something like this, but Omega either way would come to him because she wants him to see it too, though, maybe, she forgot about Cross’ sensitive eyesight x)

For some reason this piece took me too long, but here it is finally

Just this conversation with Tech and Phee-

There’s also the favorite color scene: her helping him remember things about himself

And then of course:

Tech: You love me, real or not real?

Phee: Real.

AAHHH
