wise words from my father:
“i refuse to believe that tech is dead. because i don’t want to believe he’s dead.”
Modern AU headcannon for you because. because.
Wrecker had a pet rabbit. Her name is Biscuit. He got her when he was incredibly drunk and unhappy. Everyone loves Biscuit.
She's only the size of his hand, but Wrecker takes that rabbit wherever he can. Hunter's slightly allergic, but he'll never complain.
Crosshair likes to hold her after a rough day, and Tech enjoys letting her chill on his lap/in his hood while he goes about the house. Echo takes very good care of her (spoils her, as well) but Wrecker is her favourite.
genuinely so nervous posting ocs 🧍♀️
the facial structure for the second one definitely needs work buttttt this is Zay (Azaylea) and she’s Crosshair’s daughter
She’s exactly like her dad in the terms that she’s good at shooting and a sniper whilst also being just as stubborn too, and having a lightsaber which nobody trusts her with except herself.
Oh she also steals stuff for the rebellion with her older cousins since they’re bad influences :)
funny lil bonus under cut
me and @stars-n-spice were joking abt this but then they told me to post it for fun so here we are 🤷♀️
same crosshair same
Based on the popular headcanon that Crosshair A) is lactose intolerant and B) has terrible taste in men.
Close-ups and text under the cut!
Crosshair: I like my women how I like my tea.
Hunter: Fruity?
Echo: Scalding?
Wrecker: Sweet?
Tech: Black?
Crosshair: *sips on coffee*
Crosshair: I like my men how I like my coffee.
Tech: Crosshair, that has a kark-ton of sugar in it.
Echo: You're going to give yourself a stomachache. That's not good for you.
Crosshair: 'That's the point...'
your honour i love them and they are extremely important to me
Mace just loving on his grandbaby

A Dance Through Time
This took me about two months to finish and it's the biggest piece I've ever done. Inspiration came while I was listening to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman one day, and the vision of Hunter and Omega swaying to the rhythm together came to life before my eyes. Listening to it more brought a realization that some parts of the song fit the story of these two almost perfectly, taking them on a journey from the very first episode of the show to the day peace is restored in the galaxy - like the first verse talking about their beginnings and the second one describing the struggles of living from job to job that we see in season 2. But the core of the story - of the show, of this duo, and of these characters separately - can be brought down to these four lines:
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
In case Tumblr messes with the quality, you can find the separate pieces, in order, under the cut.
posted on ao3 for the first time in a millennia, the idea for this came to me in the middle of my english lit exam, and i NEEDED to write it
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 🤌
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😂
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.
