Tay: Please tell me that it was you who brought her home and insisted that it was time for us to become parents.
Cross: Please tell me that you decided it was a good idea to give her a harpoon.

Crosshair left them alone for five minutes.
But that's what happens when you give Akona a harpoon.
Ramblings + Reference under the cut:
Was feeling a bit down but then this image came to me and I felt a little better so I had to draw it. I just love these guys :(
Was also thinking about Akona because I love her so much (partly because she's inspired by my mom's cat - aka my kid-sister/godchild whom I adore despite how big of a menace she is) and how she's picked up little bits and pieces from both Crosshair and Tay over the years.
In terms of personality, I see her being a lot like how I would image Crosshair was as a kid–stubborn, bratty, curious, a little menace who is used to getting his way and is a tad bit emotional. Or like,, y'know –the kid who eats glue in the back of the classroom and also bites the other kids? Yeah that was cadet Crosshair and that's how Akona is too. But she's got a heart of gold and loyalty literally means everything to her. Plus, since she's an only child she's spoiled very much like how Crosshair was since he was the baby of the Batch.
But then in terms of mannerisms and style, she takes after Tay. Like even if occasionally, Crosshair takes her out to a shooting range to practice her sharpshooting skills (and she's pretty good at it too), when it comes down to it, she prefers hand-to-hand combat like Tay and enjoys things like wrestling more than anything. She also like wearing sleeveless shirts like Tay and wears clasps on her tendrils that are similar to the ones Tay has on his lethorns. Then there's also the fact that she wears a gauntlet similar to Crosshair's old one because Tay still wears his old gauntlets that he painted like Crosshair's when they were together. That and the little blue cloth she wears as a belt was actually Tay's before he passed it down to her.
Either way she's a delightful handful. Her personality makes it hard for Tay and her Uncles to say no to her since she's so similar to Crosshair but then her tendencies to be inspired by Tay get her (and also Tay) into trouble every now and then.
Also, her name worked out perfectly. Initially, I picked it out because it meant "to enthuse" in Maori and then later I added on the 'Mae' part in honor of Commander 'May'day (because I could see Crosshair honoring him like that) and THEN it also worked out to honor Tay's mentor/mom, Ko, because 'ko' is in the name 'Akona' and would be something Tay calls her.
Idk, I just love them.
Also don't worry, Tay's fine. He's suffered worse, lmao. That's what he gets for letting Akona have a harpoon.
Just look at those hips. There aren't many of them, but God, I just want to touch those knuckles of his. I have them too, it's true that I have fat there, not muscles, but damn, the desire to touch these pieces of delicious meat does not negate this.
Fish fear him, women (and men) want him
Also shamelessly letting you know my commissions are open ^^
I don't know about you, but I like to imagine a blushing Tech. Just because I like to think that when he blushes, the blood rushes not only to his cheeks, but also to his ears. That is, when he turns red, the tips of his ears also turn red.
It seems to me that Phee is deliberately making him blush because she likes this picture.
And what did you expect from the series called The Dad Batch?
I want more
It would be funny if he called this bird Mayday.
He started collecting pets like pokemons

I didn't have time to really eat the Brown Eyes pie, as I wanted buns with raisins and peanuts. The recipe for the dough is the same as in the case of the pie, with the only difference that I added my favorite dried fruits and representatives of the legume family to it.
Do you think they should be named after someone from Squad 99? If so, who exactly?
It seems to me that Wrecker and 99 are ideal candidates.
Whatever he's done, he's your brother.
Plus one cool detail of the third season. Cross began the application with the Hunter where he realized his mistakes, where his opinion changed to the diametrically opposite. this snow-covered planet and the vulture in my eyes are a symbol of the Cross's changes, its downward point and elevation in the eyes of the brothers.
In general, raising the topic of vultures, I became interested in their symbolism in principle. That's what I managed to find.
The vulture is usually associated with death, decay, and purification. He can often be seen circling over carrion. His preference for collecting garbage led to the emergence of symbolism associated with purification and renewal. Despite the seemingly gloomy associations, the Vulture also symbolizes resourcefulness and efficiency, as it plays a vital ecological role in cleaning up remains and processing nutrients.
Vultures have been a part of mythology and cultural beliefs in various societies. In ancient Egypt, the Vulture was a symbol of maternal care and protection, often associated with the goddess Nekhbet. In Native American traditions, the Vulture's predilection for scavengers is interpreted as a symbol of purification and renewal. In Tibetan culture, the practice of "heavenly burials" suggests that vultures eat the remains of the deceased, which means the impermanence of life and the natural cycle of life and death. The unique role of the vulture in nature has made it a powerful and complex symbol in various myths and traditions.
Sticking to the version with cleaning and updating, this is exactly what we see in the example of CT-9904. In the beginning, he was a loyal imperial dog, and after Mayday's death, he began his journey of more significant changes. His outlook on life was "renewed", and in the fifth episode he began his "purification" in the eyes of the Hunter, with whom it is basically difficult for him to establish a normal relationship from the first season.
I also tend to believe that up to this point, the sniper had dreamed of this bird several times. Before understanding, a dream about a Vulture may reflect a feeling of a situation or relationship that is in decline or in need of purification. This may symbolize the need to purge oneself of negative influences or find value in what others have abandoned. Psychologically, the Vulture may represent an aspect of the subconscious mind associated with the end, transformation, or understanding of the natural cycles of life.
Well, it also seems to me that this is the same bird that was in episode 12 of season 2. I think no one buried Mayday and his corpse was simply stolen by this bird.
That's such a creepy headcannon.
Curled up or piled on top of it all. There is a possibility that he was simply wrapped in a blanket and dragged into his bed by his brothers.
It is quite possible that he slept curled up with Phee in her arms
Everyone always talks about Tech being a neat freak; having everything in it’s perfect spot etc… have you seen the official art of his bunk?
How does he sleep here???
What is there a cinnamon bun that won the heart of a beautiful fighting girl with whom he never had a kiss, what is there.
Same energy....
I think, because of Echo's thinness, putting a sweater on him, and warm and soft, is a great idea. Well, or there is an option to wrap up in a warm blanket.
I am so glad that the word blorbos exists now. It’s so much more evocative and accurate than “comfort character”. Like, they’re different things. He doesn’t bring me comfort, he makes my hands itchy and I want to polish him with pledge. I want to put him in a Pringle’s tube and shake him. I want to brush his hair and put little shoes on him like a Bratz doll. That’s a blorbo.
