I Love Phee Sm But Why Is Her Hair So Excruciatingly Difficult To Draw???

Found this gem today

Context: me and my friend used to play that game where you fold a bit of paper in half and you each draw a half of the drawing and i found THIS that we must’ve done together 2/3 years ago

I obviously did the top half, and they did the bottom half, and I have to say it’s rather accurate 😭

it’s in the lineage to just sacrifice yourself randomly for a good cause and traumatise at least 1 person in the process

Stop, this is a very harmful family tradition!

ANAKINS FACE

Rumors say this is what tipped Anakin to the Dark side.

ugh i love Tech so much and relate to him on an emotional level, ESPECIALLY in the crossing when he’s speaking to Omega in the cave, saying just because he doesn’t express things, doesn’t mean he doesn’t necessarily feel them too AND I GET THAT!! (which is also another reason why the crossing is one of my favorite episodes)

like,, if i have problems i won’t talk about them and i will pray that someone else then asks if im okay so i have an excuse to actaully talk

i struggle talking to people/expressing things/portraying emotions and i genuinely hate that about myself but i love seeing that represented in my favorite thing ever, and in a character like Tech

if only he wasn’t killed off

anyway im super upset rn so this was just yap 🤌

something that i’ve realized about why tech means so much to me as an autistic person…

in sci-fi/fantasy-type media, seeing my autistic traits in a character is rare (that’s not really a secret—we all know that there isn’t enough autism representation in the media). BUT, when there is a character with traits i relate to, it is often an alien.

think mantis or drax from guardians of the galaxy. sure, they’re main characters, but their traits that feel relatable to me are made to be a joke, and they’re like… literally aliens. it’s common in media for aliens to miss sarcasm and social cues, to be blunt, things like that. things that are also autistic traits.

so, i watch guardians of the galaxy and see myself in the aliens, the outcasts, the ones who don’t fit the same as the others because they are literally not human. this doesn’t apply to all aliens ofc but my point stands.

tech, on the other hand, is just… different. he thinks and acts differently, as do the rest of the batch, and all their differences are so celebrated. i mean, aside from that kinda being the point of the show, they’re also portraying his differences as who he is, and using it as a tool for him. which i love. he’s not an alien species. he’s not a joke (he’s teased by his brothers, but that’s just siblings lol).

(also this isn’t to say that drax and mantis are bad characters or anything. i love them and find them hilarious.)

anyway. i’ve been thinking a lot about tech lately and why he means the actual world to me, and this whole thing hasn’t left my head in days so i’m making a post about it. hopefully it resonates with someone😂

i was plotting when i put these two next to each other on my wall fr 😭

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope y'all are spending today with someone you love or treating yourself to something nice! 🩵

Treating my aroace-ass self to daydreaming about the sillies and how they'd spend their Valentines - so here's a couple of headcanons!

Hunter + Jung:

- Nothing huge planned for Valentine's, but they'll use it as an excuse to get some well-needed rest and time to themselves - Day starts off with Jung and Omega making Hunter breakfast in bed and all three of them just lounging about until they have to wash the dishes - After that, they probably do various things together, like meditating together, having an at-home spa day, and then for fun they probably do that thing where couples will try to paint portraits of each other (which probably ends with a big mess) - They honestly spend most of the day at home, but later they take an evening walk down to the beach together to watch the sunset - Hunter gets some robes Jung made for him as a gift - Jung gets flowers and new perfume from Hunter - Both of them get Omega chocolate - Hunter's love language is acts of service - Jung's love language is quality time

Echo x Viram:

- They have some stuff planned, but nothing too crazy - it's all relaxing, cliche type things because these two honestly need a break in between all the Rebellion stuff they do together - They're sleeping in for as long as they can and then going out to have a romantic brunch together (gotta have those mimosas) - Afterwards they're headed to the marketplace to do some shopping - Viram's getting stuff to make some desserts later for her and Echo (but also some for the others too) and Echo's getting stuff to make dinner - Then it's time for some cooking, singing, and dancing together in the kitchen as Viram bakes and Echo cooks until the food and treats are ready - End the night with a movie and some face masks because self-care is important - they fall asleep before the movie ends too - Echo gets Viram flowers and jewelry - Viram gets Echo some books he'd been wanting and a scrapbook she put together of photos and things that extend back to him being an ARC Trooper (she got photos from Rex) to their current time - Echo's love language is acts of service and words of affirmation - Viram's love language is also acts of service

Wrecker x Khea:

- Oh, they go all out for Valentine’s Day - the whole time they're doing something together and having fun - Wrecker lets Khea sleep in as long as he can before waking her up with some breakfast in bed then as soon as they can be, they're out of the house and off to have some fun - Maybe they'll go to some sort of fair or something - an amusement park or they'll go hiking somewhere fun (and potentially dangerous) - just someplace that they can be together that's exciting for both of them - If it's a fair or other, they're definitely snacking the whole time and enjoying sweet treats throughout the day and they somehow still have room for a dinner - in which, Wrecker attempts to teach Khea how to cook (it doesn't go too well) - If there's somewhere they can watch fireworks, they will - if not, they'll just make their own - Wrecker and Khea have a tradition of getting each other stuffed animals for certain events (milestones, birthdays, holidays, etc) so they both get each other plushies - Additionally, Khea gets Wrecker some utensils for his grill and Wrecker gets Khea a new toolbelt - Wrecker's love language is physical touch - Khea's love language is words of affirmation and gifts

Tech x Phee:

- Like Wrecker and Khea, these two spend most of the day out and about on an adventure or other and don't really spend that much time at home - They'll enjoy a simple breakfast and caf in the morning before taking off to some grand place to explore - Phee's got artifacts to liberate and Tech's got recordings and findings to document - Whatever they're doing is probably dangerous and there's a chance that they're probably going to get into trouble, but it's no big deal because they easily get out of the trouble as soon as they get into it - They'd have a romantic picnic for lunch in whatever beautiful spot they manage to find on their little getaway and that's when they actually stop and relax for a little bit as they drink, eat, talk, and cloud-gaze - Phee sees a cloud that reminds her of a story and she starts to tell it, there's so many gorgeous clouds and they're surrounded by beautiful, serene nature, and Tech's looking right at Phee like she hung the stars - After the picnic, they continue their adventure until it's time to head back to Pabu and when dinner comes around they just order some takeout and spend the rest of the night talking - Tech gets Phee a necklace with a beautiful charm of a compass hanging from it and a bouquet of her favorite flowers - Phee gets Tech more pouches (lol) and some new tools that he'd been needing to work on his projects - Tech's love language is quality time - Phee's love language is also quality time and acts of service

Crosshair x Tay'kaa:

- Crosshair's a bit of a homebody now, so he and Tay spend most of the day together at home with Batcher - Crosshair also pretends to hate Valentine's Day but of course, he's secretly a big softie who enjoys it - Tay lets Crosshair sleep in as usual, but once he comes back from his run with Batcher he makes Crosshair breakfast - but not in bed though because Crosshair thinks it's gross and doesn't want crumbs in his sheets because he WILL feel them at night and he will NOT sleep if he does - After that, they spend time together relaxing at home - Omega might stop by to hang out with them, at some point, and they have fun playing video games or recounting embarrassing/funny stories of the others or each other - They'll go out later in the day for a romantic dinner at Crosshair's favorite place and he gets to have all the dessert he wants - maybe they'll even go dancing afterward, too - Then back at home it's just cuddle-pile time with Batcher - Crosshair gets Tay new clothes and manages to find a picture of Tay's late mentor/surrogate mother that he prints and frames for him - Tay gets Crosshair his favorite chocolates, a frozen treat maker (that makes milkshakes, ice cream, and whatnot), and the gift of a clean house - Crosshair gets Batcher some treats and Tay got her a new toy - Crosshair's love language is words of affirmation and acts of service - Tay's love language is also words of affirmation, but also physical touch

Tech is and was always Cid’s #1 hater. It’s lucky for her that he was dead when she sold out Omega because he absolutely would have fucked her up I said what I said.
