2. what was your favourite arc?
ohhh impossible to choose but i will forever be fond of 41!shin yoosung / the 5th scenario since it was the first arc that really pulled me into the story .. shin yoosung held the favorite character title for a longg time until i got to kaizenix skfhajnf
7. conversely, whats a headcanon that youre just pulling out of your ass but you love anyway?
shaking at very high speeds now this is soemething i definitely havent been thinking about for an entire year and a half and am absolutely very normal about:
han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk both hold chopsticks weird
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ like this :D
i will admit it doesnt make much sense but big spoilers ahead ->
a bit of your own life always bleeds into what you create .. i feel like hsy would have a hard time considering twsa truly as her own writing so this tiny bit of proof that kim dokja really did love a novel that was Hers .. means something i think
and its just cute idk
its another chicken and the egg situation - did hsy write a blink and youll miss it line in some random cooking scene or did yjh learn to hold chopsticks that way bc hes a self taught cook
doesnt matter bc kdj’ll makes fun of yoohan either way .

I used to watch drawfee all the time but I ended up stopping for a few years (life stuff happened and I kinda forgot about them? Idk), I started watching again but now I feel like I have so much to catch up on and there's so many memes/jokes I don't know. Is there a sort of "best of" list I could find to help me catch up again? :')
I don't have one on hand, but I'm sure me and the others following can help catch you up! And its super valid to just forget, haha! Ive done that with several youtubers now that I have to catch up with!
I don't know how far back you started or stopped, but I'll list some common reoccuring jokes I can think off of the top of my head! I'll try not to spoil them too much so if you want to watch the videos yourself, you can!
Jacob's Yogurt obsession/ Yogi boy: Jacob was spoonfed a ton of yogurt at an event while wearing ~100 t-shirts. The original video can be found here, and another lore bit can be found here around 17:30
Todd from Mario: Karina misread a suggestion for 'Toad from Mario' on stream once, and mistakenly read 'Todd from Mario'. He became a sort of deity in Drawfee, but when they tried to make merch of him, Nintendo sent a DMCA.
Sonic Butthole Saga: Karina drew Sonic naked and ass up on a bed after a shower during a Random Shape episode. It's now a running thing where if it's a Random Shape challenge or anything similar, she'll continue the saga. There's currently 5 panels, which include Y/N, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Jacob Horse: Jacob, for the life of him, can't draw a damn horse.
Julia can't do Pokemon: Julia has little to no experience with Pokemon whatsoever, which gives us things like Spheal and Shuckle, as well as Back Sprites and Vibe-emon
Karina and Yu-Gi-Oh: Damn does she like Yu-Gi-Oh. Includes favorites like "Is it a Yu-Gi-Oh episode we're doing?", Karina's episode of Yu-Gi-Oh flavor text, and her technically not Drawfee Kaiba-Defence-Hour
Bone Game: Series where they draw animals based on their skulls. Found here, here, and a reverse
Cats 2019: We can't make it a month without a Cats reference.
I'm sure there's others that folks can comment, but for now, some honorable mentions of some fan favorite episodes:
The April Fool's video that lost them 300 subscribers and had me actually crying from laughter
Is the nose... big?
If anyone asks, I did this.
Do you know what a rectangle is? Artists Draw Perfectly Normal Cats
Shod toes contitty and I'm not afraid to say it! Mixed emotions ep
The Tarot Ep is a CLASSIC
I'd also recommend checking out @deepblueink2d 's YouTube under DeepBlueInk! They do some (incredible) Drawfee animations of some of the best bits and jokes! Also, the •classic• tag has a list of some really popular quotes and the video name underneath! I'm sure others will add on too! Welcome back freak (affectionate)

I need more tmf mutuals so i’m doing this quick about me thing
Name, pronouns and age are all already in my bio so this will be more fandom specific
Favorite character(s)?
Definitely Jake, Lia, Drew and Milly (and i’ve been warming up to Daisy recently as well)
Favorite Episode?
Ep 11 because of the drama but I love the vibes of Ep 6 (it’s kinda like season 3 of stranger things, if you watch that)
How long have you been a fan?
I’ve been a fan of Rosy since her drarry series but I only started to care about tmf around episode 3
Zodiac sign/birthday?
I’ve never really been very into zodiacs but I was born on April 18th and i’m an aries
If you could change one thing about tmf what would it be and why?
Probably hailey’s characterization, i love her but she isn’t very consistent and doesn’t have any backstory besides her stage fright
Mbti?
From both the test and studying cognitive functions i’m an ENFP
What do you ship?
Drake, Henriam, Hailia (Hailey x Lia) , Lander , Dadie
What ship do you hate?
It’s hard for me to hate any ship if it’s not illegal or creepy but if i had to choose i’d say Jander as a personal preference and Jailey just because it’s underdeveloped
Character you'd love to punch in the face?
Elliot. I hate this man more than life itself for no real reason
What character do you want to learn more about?
Drew and Zander we get little snippets here and there but i really want an episode dedicated to either of them
Character you relate most to?
Jake, Lia and (despite how much she annoys me sometimes) Hailey
Favorite moment between a ship?
The lander confession never fails to get me feeling so comforted and nostalgic
Favorite moment between a friendship?
Milly, Zander and Luke while they’re at the mall and Zoe shaking Henry on that one Driam insta post
Unpopular opinion?
The music club weren’t in the wrong for yelling at jake after the voice note, especially since he had bullied them for years (not saying that drew and the dromies were wrong either)
These will probably change after a while but these are my current opinions BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED TO SEE MORE TMF FANS😭

Hypothetical Pokemon Chronicles 2 episodes and murmurs
Goh and the Symbol of Knowledge! Under recommendation of Professor Cerise, Goh travels to Cerulean City in the Kanto region to study under somebody who’s knowledgeable in various Pokemon. Much to his surprise that somebody turns out to be one of the Kanto Frontier Brains, Noland! What can Goh learn from him when it comes to high intensity battles where you don’t get to choose your own Pokemon? And what’s with that chill in the air?
-Goh meets up with Noland, after all his specialty is battling with numerous different species of Pokemon.
-Probably some lesson to do with Noland and Articuno, about non-caught Pokemon having just as much of a connection as caught ones!
-I think it’d be neat if they had a non-official battle y'know
A Battle Between Contest Royalty!
While May, Max, Serena, and Lisia travel around Hoenn together they have a surprise encounter while signing up for the next big contest: one of the Top Coordinators, Marina, is rumoured to be participating too! Will this be an exciting time to show off their skills, or will their nerves get to them? One thing’s for sure, this will be a contest to write down in history!
-GEN ¾ STYLE CONTESTS. Both battle and appeal sections. -I think May is the one to get to fight Marina in the final round, surpassing Lisia and Serena! May deserves to win <3
-Get to check in with Marina other than a cameo after all these years! See how her Pokemon have trained and see if she has any new team members!
-Have a scene of their companions/friends/rivals from their travels watching on the tv <3 [put Chaz in the anime watching Lisia’s section with Wallace, maybe cameo Brendan too he hasn't been seen since late gen4, idk abt Serena but may has drew Harley and Solidad! Maybe Norman and Caroline cameo. VINCENT AND JIMMY FOR MARINA!!!!!!!]
A Lumiose Mystery! Looker gets reports of a mysterious person stealing other civilian’s Pokemon at night across Lumiose City, deciding to investigate the happenings right outside the Looker Bureau! But just why does his young assistant Emma disappear at night, leaving behind her trusted partner Pokemon around the same time? Are they connected? Just what does this Essentia person have planned? And why does Mimi seem so determined to investigate?
-Emma and Mimi the Espurr debut! Loosely just the Essentia postgame X/Y plot in an episode
-That's mostly it if you know the plot You Know
Fight to the finish!
During his travels in the Sinnoh Region, Jimmy has to wait out before the next big tournament battle opens up. He decides to take his time sizing up the competition, little does he know Team Rocket is on the hunt for an elusive Pokemon nearby. Without his travelling companions by his side, he has to get help from some newfound friends to win! Can he, Lucas, and Brendan win against a returning and more powerful Atilla and Hun? Or will they be unable to stop their capture of the legendary Pokemon Enamorus?
-Some of the main characters we’ve seen have their own journeys in the movies and such! Return of Hun and Attila post-Ranger: Manaphy!
-Debut of Enamorus
A Time Space Conundrum! 
While enjoying some down time, Dawn and Zoey spend some catching up time together… But when a strange crack in the sky forms, can they work together to fight back the Pokemon that seemed to be summoned by the storm? And just what’s with these giant red eyed Pokemon?
-Get put into a space-time distortion in modern Sinnoh IDIOTS
-Quilava evolves into a Hisuian Typhlosion
-Would be interesting if Zoey also catches some sort of Hisuian ‘mon! Not certain on which tho
Tracey Sketches It All!
Tracey takes advantage of a much needed vacation, choosing to get a ticket for the Magnet Train to see the sights of Johto! While travelling, just what rare pokemon will he see? Thankfully, he started the journey with an empty sketchbook, so let's see what on the horizon he sets his eyes on!
-SLICE OF LIFE TRACEY EP!
-Travelling around Central Johto mainly! Taking some time to hang out and sketch both Pokemon and landmarks!
-Sketching lots of gen 1 through 4 mon!
-Later part of the episode has him encounter Celebi, who's happily snacking on some berries. 
-Gets a sketch of it done! With Celebi coming over to see it when it's done and trilling in excitement! It’s the final sketch in the book he brought, and he leaves with a big smile
Make Haste, to The Battle Zone!
Paul decides to head to Sinnoh’s Battle Zone to train himself before entertaining the offer of becoming one of Sinnoh’s many Gym Leaders. While lost on his way to the Survival Area he encounters a certain kid and his Pikachu among the mountains of route 225. Can they overcome their differences and make it to the Survival Area in one piece, or will they get turned around… Yet again!?
-Paul comedy of errors episode. Some scooby doo logic
-Ritchie and Paul get trapped in the mountains: the episode
-Reminiscent of DP046! Buck jumpscare near the later half though
The Knight and The Dragon!
Getting word of Iris’ rise to the champion title, Georgia takes it upon herself to train her team and challenge Iris to another battle. But this proves one hurdle; Her newly caught Doublade just doesn’t seem to want to evolve! Will some reluctant offered aid from Burgundy help, or is this a lost cause?
-Burgundy and Georgia weirdgirl rival-friends-would bite each other for a single chip-ness adventures (in unova)
-Reveal Georgia has since caught a Duoblade
-Evolve Doublade into an aegislash! The issue was…… Poor thing had an everstone stuck in its sheath it just couldn't get out.
some episode ideas post-journeys for a hypothetical Chronicles 2! Admittedly im not well versed on gen 6 or 7 anipoke charas at all so i cant really focus on them >_> anyways sillies

went back to the sketchbooks around when i was going through yyh for the first time in 2019 and found a pile of near-yearly sticky note updates about my relationship with the series next to my first yyh doodles, a page full of kuwabaras. thought it'd be fun to share
Tumblr media Tumblr media
+ more thoughts and old yyh art below
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(it's crazy i didn't find any kurama-centric pages for months bc i think he's the one i doodled in the margins of class notes and stuff the most. his hair's pwetty and he gives me the least trouble outta any of the main 4)
something i noticed while skimming the two sketchbooks i took these from was how mean i was to myself at the time about my art. i guess it hit me more because i don't really spend hours going through my old sketchbooks over and over to track my progress and growth like i used to quite often. i guess it was only a little after when my self esteem was lowest (8th grade, tale as old as time), but... idk. i knew back then that i'd grown a lot in the few years since i started drawing more seriously (that's why i looked through my art so much), but like... i guess that never translated into being nice to myself about it. i ended up going back through about ten more sketchbooks to find more yyh art, and in the coming years i'm glad to say that negativity in the margins went away. hell yeah
but even so, my love for yyh was a constant and effusive thing, as it is now. it's probably the oldest of my current media interests. i watched myself get into rgg and develop my ocs and watched others fade in and out, watched my style loop back on itself and go all over the place, passed by pages of writing about crushes and album releases and gender discoveries and my grandparents dying, all surrounded by little drawings of the characters i love. including kuwabara in a maid dress right next to my dead grandma grief rambling that one time (no i'm not kidding. my grandma died in like late 2020 and the page where i poured my heart out after finding out she was gone just trying to process everything had one with catboy maid dress kuwabara directly opposite it, who i'd drawn like the evening before she died in her sleep. he killed my grandma from like 100 miles away he was that powerful. that wasn't even the last time i drew him like that and i don't even care about catboys or maid dresses much. i think it was just a bigger meme and he was the guy i most associated with cats. i put that man in a situation and he fucking got her because the book couldn't contain him. some victor frankenstein shit. anyway)
i took about 150 pictures, most with multiple sketches. i decided not to add any more though bc 1) i posted some of them on old accounts but i don't remember which ones, and tbh i value my anonymity a little too much 2) All Of The Pictures Turned Out Bad in ways i don't feel like getting into but just trust me it's like 6 layers of fucked up illegible image bullshit 3) i found it hard to narrow it down to things i felt were indicative of the development or interesting or anything like that. idk. i figured it was an interesting exercise for me and it probably wouldn't really mean anything to anyone else. and that's ok :) it was nice anyway. i mostly mention it to be like Oh My God i've drawn these guys a lot and i STILL don't know what i'm doing... :| it's fun
however i did transcribe the notes i left:
7/9/19: yo it's been less than a week & i'm on ep. 80 wtf i love this show
8/14/20: 1/2way thru my 3rd watch (first dub, first [with older sibling]) & honestly still love it & kuwabara being the first one i drew makes me happy
7/28/21: i'm watching it w/ [younger sibling] now! 4th(ish) watch, 2nd time through the dub, which is so much better than the sub really elevates the text. we're at the semifinals of the DT, which means this is technically my 5th time through yyh up until that point but eh semantics anyway i still love & obsess over yyh! <3
1/14/24 (present day): hey, i'm rewatching yyh for the.. idk 5th or 6th time. still love it & never stopped. now i'm writing fic & drawing & posting about it. i have friends i talk to about it. [both siblings] have seen it. so much has changed, and so little, but it made me sad seeing how much i insulted my own art. i love you 2019 me. god knows you needed it
[+ this drawing]:
Tumblr media
anyway. forever fornever. if you even care
#that's all. just kind of a personal post i thought was neat. skrunklore#skrunkart#yyh#yu yu hakusho#you can really feel the 14 y/o in a lot of the little notes and stuff but that too is part of the growth and change im trying to celebrate.#ripping my fingernails off about it but it needs to be done#also the hearts are because they love each other. and also me in like a cheering you on kinda way#ok more lore but around jr year i started feeling like my art was getting worse or at least stagnating and i kind of wished i could go back#to the era where a lot of that art is from bc there were little things i was better at and also bc i was much more prolific and adventurous#and while i'm sympathetic to it looking back after another couple of years it's like nah. no i was still growing i was just too close to se#like i'll be like oughh i haven't grown at all in years >:(( and then i'll look at the art i made over the course of 2023 and go oh nvm lol#some of it was more 'getting back into the swing of things' + traditional and tech issues being resolved but there was also growth#there is also stuff to be proud of and there always is and there always will be. that goes for you too reader#no matter what your art does or does not look like. i guess that's part of why im posting this too#part of what got me into visual art was seeing how people's art changed (sketchbook tours). it's cool and seeing that learning process so#well preserved and so easily analyzed kinda activated something in my brain. i think it got me past a lot of the 'im just not talented'#stuff a lotta ppl have that keeps them from drawing or sharing it or whatever. anyway art's cool i love art. gonna go draw now probably :D#ALSO really funny watching the way i drew myself change. all in ways that make sense but still funny to me. long hair glasses girl you'd#probably keel over if you saw what we look like now. hell yeah

Ep 3
The Caricature Car
Lucas let out a shudder as they exited a door and came to the outside of the car. "Can we take a moment to look around before falling headfirst into something? That was the grossest thing I've ever experienced."
"I tripped", Steve rolled his eyes. "And it wasn't that bad."
"Not that bad?!", Lucas' eyes bugged out.
"Didn't realize you had such an aversion to jello", Eddie grinned.
"That was not jello, that was aspic. Which is just one of the many crimes your people have to eventually answer for", Lucas said while walking the bridge between the cars.
"Who's people do you think he means?", Steve asked.
Eddie patted his shoulder. "I'm gonna wager he's bemoaning the cuisine that many suburban white moms seem to favor. The fact you didn't flinch at beef suspended in gelatin tells a lot about you."
Lucas got to the next door first. "Just watch your step next time."
He opened the door and immediately walked through a scanner. Lucas groaned at his luck while Steve let out a big and smug 'Ha!'.
"What sort of contraption be this?", Chadwick walked in next, but moved around the scanner, as did Steve and Eddie.
All four of them watched in awe as a giant printer sounded and a paper flew from the output. It fluttered until it landed right in front of Lucas. A life size drawing of him with exaggerated features.
"Hey, it's like one of those things you get at an amusement park", Steve snapped his fingers in recognition.
"Honestly not the worst thing to walk into", Eddie put his hands in his pockets as he leaned in to take a closer look at the drawing.
"What are you looking at, freak?", the drawing said, making Eddie jump back, nearly into Steve's chest.
"What the...?", Lucas took a step back.
The drawing stepped off the paper and Chadwick drew his sword. "Stand back, villain!"
"What's he supposed to be? The Tin Man?", Caricature-Lucas said with a sneer.
"Wow, it's like looking at twins", Steve said sarcastically.
"You're taking this so well, it's almost attractive", Eddie said.
Steve would've replied with something he hoped to be clever, but he was caught on Eddie's words.
"Okay, granted, this is probably just as weird as everything else we've seen, but it's still majorly MESSED UP!", Lucas shouted.
Chadwick began to panic. "What evil! I can't tell which is which!"
"Oh give me a break", Lucas groaned and started to walk. The door to the other side wasn't far. It was visible in the distance. Caricature-Lucas followed.
"Why am I going along with these two? A has been and a wannabe?"
Eddie leaned over to Steve. "Am I the has been or the wannabe?"
"Is either good?", Steve asked, tolerating the drawing because surely they'd be able to leave it once they left the car. Then again, Chadwick was able to come with them.
"Steve and Eddie are my friends", Lucas said. "And you don't look anything like me!"
"You're friends with them? I thought the whole reason we joined the team was so we'd stop being bullied. Isn't that why we're doing the basketball camp?", Caricature-Lucas pressed. His paper limbs make crinkly sounds as he walked.
"He's doing the camp because he wants to get better at his game, right Lucas?", Steve said coming up beside him.
"Yeah, I do...But what if getting better means I turn into that?", he asked while gesturing to his paper self.
"I'm what you wanna be", Caricature-Lucas stood in front of him, blocking his way. "Jason was crazy in the end, but you looked up to him. He has everything you want."
"Not everything. And I didn't want to be anything like him."
"Good as basketball, popular, he was able to get the whole town to rally behind him. If you stood up in a crowd and tried that, I don't even think your friends would get behind you."
"Hey, back off", Steve said, pushing the drawing. It felt exactly like shoving paper, ineffective.
Caricature-Lucas continued. "I bet if Jason had shot you that night-"
Eddie roared and took Chadwick's knife, slicing through Caricature-Lucas. Steve took one of the halves and started ripping it into even tinier pieces.
"Fuck that guy", Eddie spit on the lifeless shreds. Then he turned to Chadwick with a low bow. "My apologies for taking your blade without permission.
"None taken, Sir Eddie. I only wish my own hand had been much quicker. How dare he question Sir Lucas' honor and worth?"
"You guys...just ripped me to pieces", Lucas said, looking at what had been himself, all over the ground.
"Lucas, that wasn't you", Steve said. "It was literally a caricature."
"Yeah and a bad one", Eddie added. "Your ears aren't that big. Now if it was my talented hand, I would bring the attention to your strong brow and perfect row of teeth, but that's just me. We can't all be skilled artists."
"Skilled artist my ass, I've seen your doodles", Steve said, stepping over the shreds, towards the door.
"You wound me, good sir!", Eddie exclaimed.
Lucas watched as his number dropped and let out a sigh like a weight had been lifted up from him. He followed behind the two and Chadwick brought up the rear.
Steve’s number: 159
Eddie’s number: 257
Lucas’ number: 25

People who follow me might have noticed that I posted a lot of Our Flag Means Death content. And you might also have noticed that I haven't posted anything about it for about 3 weeks. Some of that is because I was away on holiday in Scotland for 2 weeks, and while I was away I watched the finale of season 2. And it was bad.
Our Flag Means Death's season 2 finale pulled a Game of Thrones and a How I Met Your Mother in record time. It went from my favourite show that I'd happily rewatch over and over again without complaint to being so bad that I never even want to think about it again in the span of 1 episode.
And some people might go "oh come on, just because they killed our favourite character doesn't mean it was bad, get over yourself." But that's not even why I'm mad. If the lead-up to that character dying had been better, if it had been done better, I would have accepted it. But that's not the worst thing about the season 2 finale.
The worst thing was that everything was so rushed. Our main love story was rushed all season and had a really stupid third-act break-up in the second last episode, and then got back together in such a boring way. I mean, I made a "my thoughts on these episodes" post after every collection of episodes that I watched, and in all those posts I barely mentioned Stede and Ed at all - because nothing they did together in the entire season (minus Ed's merman fantasy) was interesting to me. The only bit of fanart I drew of the two of them was based off of a behind-the-scenes clip of them together, because I found that was more interesting than anything that was actually happening in the show.
They took the second most popular ship of season 1 (Jim and Oluwande) and had Jim start a new relationship with Archie in the 1st ep of the season, and then never went anywhere with it. Jim and Archie are still together at the end of the season, but every interaction the two of them had with each other or with Oluwande happened in the background of other things happening. And I couldn't tell you a single personality trait of Archie's.
Zheng Yi Sao is a great new character, but her potential is completely thrown away in the last episode. And Ed at the beginning of the episode is mentally off a cliff, he's depressed as all hell and murderous and suicidal and they even say in the show that he's abusive, and then what? Nothing happens with that. Stede's dick game saves him I guess. And the guy he was abusing just fucking dies after a bullet-graze, but meanwhile Stede and Ed have survived way worse wounds.
I'm just so disappointed and frustrated. Movies and tv series just continuously disappoint me. If I want good queer fiction, I guess I need to just stick with books and comics.

SxF interview & panel discussion at TICA
I was reading articles about Kyōji Asano (animation director) and Tetsuya Nakatake (producer) attending the Taipei International Comic and Anime International, so I’ve decided to share some of the interesting things I’ve read here.
In the YouTube live video, 
11:10 Nakatake gestured how tiny Anya would be in real life. Asano then gave a quick demonstration on “how to pick up baby Anya and carry her on your shoulder”. I thought that was really cute. As if they all know Anya so well they are ready to babysit her at any second.
12:47 Asano drew a bunch of Anya’s faces. From 12:55 onwards he just started pointing at the faces he drew, and said he enjoyed drawing them very much.
15:54 Nakatake jokingly said they (I’m guessing he meant Nakatake himself, Asano and other staff members who also have children) could particularly relate to tired™ Twilight. They have children and understand how exhausting being a parent could be. 
There are also displays of pictures of character designs and frames sketches. You can see they are particularly proud of the original designs and scenes they’ve created for the show.
No recording is allowed during the panel discussion. I’ve read several articles (Source 1, 2, 3) and a post by an attendee, and what they’ve shared are more or less the same: 
1. They spent a month creating the second ED. They’d actually cooked all the food and presented them on a table so they could draw it. (Source three actually provides many interesting photographs of the food and the sketches hey’ve drawn while producing ED2.) It's such hard work, so much so for a 10-second scene the team had created 100-130 frames, and a member of the team even said he’s gonna quit, but they’d all persisted. Asano said their goal was to make the audience hungry while watching ED2, and was particularly happy to hear from the attendees that they have succeeded.
2. They had also drawn the food Yor made before pixelating it. And no, the team won’t show us what they originally look like. The team likes the scene where Yuri ate and threw up at the same time so much the animator put in extra effort to draw it. (Nakatake: Don’t you like sick characters like Yuri?)
3. The work atmosphere while creating AoT was more stern. On the other hand, it feels more lively when producing SxF. The work atmosphere is usually affected by the content they are creating. The animators have their own ideas they want to express as well, and it is a lucky coincidence when they get to animate a popular work they happen to be interested in, and the audience likes the product as well. They feel the bliss while creating the anime, and hope to create something the whole family can enjoy.
4. They create the OPs and EDs as something to add to the world-building. OPs and EDs also offer an opportunity for the team to show the audience their own interpretation of/ reflections on the story. They went on to explain how OPs and EDs are usually done. Most of the time they would have the song first. The musician would read the manga and write the song. The production team would then design the scenes that would match the song. The director confirms what scenes would be needed, and the animation team proceeds to create the OP/ED.
5. It is of utmost importance to make Anya cute. Asano suggested to draw her hair first, then the shape of her face. Draw her facial features last.
6. When asked of their favourite scenes, Nakatake said the interview scene where Loid punched the table was what inspired him to push the sxf animation project forward. Asano liked ep 5. He thought it made the story livelier. 
7. Nakatake likes Yor the best. He says he wants to meet her in real life, and claims he doesn’t mind eating her food. (He also likes the scene where Bond ate the cookies Yor made and fainted.) Asano wants a daughter like Becky. If he had to choose between Anya and Becky, he would still choose Becky.
PS I've also shared an identical article here. I did the translation myself. I didn't translate everything. For example, Asano also mentioned AoT as another example of how they do original scenes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this.

thoughts on the hsmtmts final season trailer?
Well anon, I think the trailer and the just released synopsis and photos for the first 6 eps look pretty good and I'm cautiously optimistic that the show will maintain the quality of S3 and if we're very lucky it may have some moments that come close to the excellence of S1.
I wish Disney would stick to the status quo and release the final eps weekly but it seems that their MO is now to burn off seasons of shows they've cancelled or have given up on (I wonder if they regret their decision with it likely that the actors and directors strike will last for many months). I'll be away from Meta Manor for a while so I don't know when I'll have time to watch S4; I won't do ep by ep reviews but I may do a season review in a few weeks. That being said, here are the main points I'll be grading S4 on, in no particular order:
Rina: I've never been a Rina shipper but I've long said that Rina's fate is inextricably tied with the show. So I want a great season for them, no pointless breakups, no pointless drama. Now in real life with Ricky graduating they wouldn't last but Tim needs to drop the realism and have a nice unambiguous Rina endgame. I'm hopeful that Gina's acting career plot will allow her to be with Ricky even after he graduates.
Big 3 Cameos: At least one of Zac, Vanessa, or Ashley must appear on screen for at least one scene or else the OG cast plot will be pointless. Especially since in universe they're doing a HSM 4 which Disney would not have green lit without at least one of the Big 3 starring. And I won't accept some too clever by half bullshit like Drew Seely shows up as Troy.
LGBTQ Rep: HSMTMTS has made huge strides with lgbtq rep on disney and I hope they can continue to make history in this final season.
Series Coherence: I think looking back that S2 will be the breaking point for a lot of future viewers who will give up after what turned out to be the longest and the worst season. The show isn't very coherent and I hope that S4 can meaningfully connect with S1 and we have more focus on the epic highs and lows of high school musical theatre. Enjoy the final season everyone. We're in the endgame now, wildcats.

the very odd assortment of things that king does and doesn't know
so. i've been thinking about this forever and now i've realised thanks to a post by @/itzcomedia (link in notes) that i never typed this theory up!! therefore it's now time to speedrun before ep 30 comes out
firstly, we all know that king knows things that they shouldn't. here's a list for posterity: 1. from the mission briefing scene in parkour, we can see they knew that the colour gang had a minecraft block 2. they knew where the block was supposed to be on their desktop 3. they knew about yellow's fascination with command blocks, and blue's addiction to netherwart
now, the question is how they got this information.
theory 1: youtube
Tumblr media
in the parkour mission briefing scene they had one map that played a clip taken directly from the original avm. therefore, they could have access to youtube, or at least a way to emulate it.
hence, they could've watched the avm shorts in order to gain information on the colour gang. in particular, they likely watched ep 6 (command blocks) and ep 4 / ep 20 (potions / piglin war) to gain the information they have on blue and yellow.
Tumblr media
however, in the same scene, their map diagrams also show the block in the taskbar, instead of in the start menu.
the thing is, if they'd indeed watched ep 6 (command blocks), they would have known that the block was in the start menu, since it gets shown in literally the first 10 seconds of the video.
Tumblr media
in addition, they would've also known if they'd watched ep 1 (the rediscovery) since that episode starts with second finding the block in the start menu.
then the conclusion would be that king only watched the original avm, and not any of the subsequent shorts, right? WRONG LOL
the map diagram they drew for purple showed the colour gang's desktop with the windows 10 interface, instead of the windows 7 interface that was used in the original avm.
Tumblr media
so, while this theory is still a fair possibility, i think that most of their info might not have come from stalking the colour gang on youtube, since if they had, they wouldn't have given purple the wrong location.
but yknow what would've been a source of information on the lads but not on the location of the block? purple.
theory 2: purple
after vs league of legends, purple became friends with the colour gang, although we never got to see much of it. however, i'm willing to bet that if they had more time to interact outside of what we saw in vs league / the witch / parkour, they probably could've learnt a lot about the colour gang organically. like!! they're all so excitable that i don't think they'd be guarded about their interests at all, yknow?
Tumblr media
also in vs league, the desktop used the windows 10 interface, so if purple had reported the events back to king, king could've known about the interface change, but not the block being in the start menu (assuming they only watched the original avm).
this would also imply that most of purple's friendship with the colour gang took place offscreen, which i honestly don't know how to feel about.
so!!! in conclusion, i think both explanations are still plausible? honestly the inconsistency in mango's knowledge could be explained away as a continuity error but that's not fun to think about, so i'm assuming that isn't the case for the purposes of this theory.

He was on a roll today! He didn’t want to stop. Havent even started the ep and we are like 3 cigarettes in and 4 pills down. He had an audience of one (to his knowledge) to entertain and he delivered. But he was stressed. It started with him coming back inside and going ‘okay i think I’m ready.. i could be wrong tho’ honestly this is a mood ngl, ‘do you think Brian buys him alcohol..or does he have a fake id? Idk whats cuter. OH MY GOD HE IS DRUNK AND CARING ABOUT HIS EDUCATION! Why am i finding this cute?..my dream is for brian to tell justin he loves him.

See! And he got him a job! There is potential here somewhere just let me uncover it!’ ‘Oh Justin is drawing again, dude it’s okay just take a deep breath, count to ten, shake your hand a little and do it again. That’s what my therapist told me to do…although i was 12 and it was bc i was scared to make friends…oh no his hand is gonna be a problem isn’t it?!’ He is now having a moment bc he feels bad for Mikey but he is conflicted with his feelings..’i need him to listen to Bri Bri and quit his job. Oh my god JUSTIN IS STILL HERE?! OH GOD THIS IS PAINFUL TO WATCH. So what if he lost control?! HE IS CLEARLY DISABLED TO SOME DEGREE! Would you kick a handicapped person out of school bc they can’t attend gym class?! Oh i hate this guy! How about you HELP him meet the requirements somehow?! You see he is talented and instead of HELPING him as a teacher, you are gonna spit on him bc he’s disabled?! OH FUCK THIS GUY! FUCK HIM ALL THE WAY TO HELL. I need a cigarette again. Pause this shit bc i am not okay’ he is currently outside pacing back and forth mumbling while smoking and i am learning so much about him bc of qaf, this is actually insane. ‘Okay turn it back on. I’ve calmed down now (cut to justin saying he is dropping out) I LIED I AM NOT CALMED DOWN WTF YOU DONT LET PEOPLE WIN WHEN THEY MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT DISABILITIES!..oh i love all of their reactions! But Brian is about to have a stroke if Justin doesn’t stop’ ‘WAIT THAT WAS LIKE WHEN BRIAN DID IT IN THE PILOT! okay that was cute! The way Bri Bri stares at him and then he dried his face. Fucking adorable, i almost forget that im mad that he dropped out..(and we are at the computer scene) OH MY FUCKING FUCK CRISPY JESUS HE GOT HIM THAT COMPUTER! THAT IS NOT NORMAL FUCK BUDDY BEHAVIOR BRIAN! Oh this fucker cares so deeply for him and everyone else but doesn’t want anyone to know. CMON JUSTIN STOP BEING A LITTLE BITCH AND TRY IT! Oh that’s messed up Justin, he isnt trying to fix you, UNLIKE THE TEACHER HE IS TRYING TO HELP YOU FIND WAYS TO DO YOU THING! Oh he looks like he just watched a puppy get hit (he now got sad at a fake scenario he just made up about the puppy)..OH HE DREW A PENIS NICE’ 1/2 of 2x05
Oh he drew a penis, nice. DEAD.
Anon you are so brave and strong for not telling him the things that you should not be telling him.
Your brother has gone straight (pun intended) queer theory to disability theory. He needs a full honorary degree. I love him.

I can’t believe I’m actually doing this. I figured I should stop being so scared and just post, even if no one sees/likes it.
Here’s my first OC fic for Bad Batch. It’s a full fic based on my 2nd part of my HC of the Batch finding/adopting a Jedi youngling, here. I even drew a quick sketch of one of the scenes here.
Her name is Maisy and she’s a 4 1/2yr Jedi youngling.
I’m hoping to make this a multi-chapter/part fic.
Warnings—contains talk of mental illness/trauma, spoilers for Clone Wars and Bad Batch, headcanons, OC character, mentions of Obi-wan Kenobi, O66 trauma, 3rd POV
*I put OWK cuz my OC’s backstory is almost identical to Reva’s though isn’t really mentioned in this chapter.
**Takes place during ep10 Common Ground and goes to finale
**I HC that S1 and S2 of BB are about a year apart w/ each ep being about 3 weeks apart aside from the last 2 eps (which are 2 parts)**
So ep 10 is about 8-9mo from O66 (ep1)
About my OC—Maisy is a 4 and a half year old jedi youngling who is found by Omega during ep10. Having being told to stay behind, Omega meets Maisy when the youngling sneaks food from Cid’s
Older Sister
Chapter 1
3rd POV
The Batch rescued Omega from Bane and Shand and are finally back on Ord Mantell. They had just stopped to get some Mantell Mix as per tradition (and because of the whole ordeal Omega went through) to cheer the young clone up. Omega sits perched on Wrecker’s left shoulder as the squad walks through the alleyways back to Cid’s bar.
“How’s the Mantell Mix kid?” Wrecker asks. Omega eats a few pieces as she grabs more and drops some in Wrecker’s mouth.
“Better than ever,” she tells him as he nods in agreement.
“Yeah it is!” Wrecker exclaims before laughing.
“So when’s our next mission?” Omega asks.
“With 2 bounty hunters after you, it’d be wise to keep a low profile,” Tech turns around to explain to the girl as Wrecker sets her down.
“Tech’s right,” Hunter agrees, “There’s too much heat on us right now.”
“Ha! That never stopped us before,” Wrecker says when Hunter suddenly pulls the larger clone to the side a bit.
“The kid’s been through enough. She needs a break,” Hunter tells the explosives expert quietly before they glance over and watch Omega offer Tech and Echo some of her food. Echo takes a few pieces and sniffs them curiously while Tech gives them a small smile.
“She seems fine to me,” Wrecker whispers to Hunter before the sergeant of the squad heads into the seedy bar they’ve been calling home. Wrecker, Tech, Omega and Echo all follow Hunter inside.
It’s mostly empty aside from the regulars and Cid.
“I’ve got a mission for you boys,” Cid informs the Batch as they walk in and take seats at the bar, “A simple extraction on Raxus.”
“Raxus?” Tech questions, “That is the former center of the Separatist government. It has since become an Imperial outpost—“
“I’m not interested in a history lesson, Goggles,” Cid shakes her head, “You’re being hired to locate and free Senator Avi Singh from his confinement,” Cid shows them a hologram of the senator.
“My client will meet you at the given coordinates to brief you. Details are on this. Now get going,” she tosses a datachip to Tech, but Hunter catches it midair. The squad looks at Hunter questioningly.
“Help a Separatist?” Hunter asks and pauses, as if briefly considering it, “Not gonna happen,” he tells Cid, tossing the chip back to the Trandoshan bar owner.
“Your debt’s still not paid, remember?” She says, “A job’s a job.” She argues. Hunter motions for them to talk away from the group and Cid follows. Once they are out of immediate earshot of the group, Hunter faces Cid.
“I am not bringing Omega to a planet swarming with Imperials,” Hunter says definitively.
“So leave her here with me. I’ll keep an eye on her,” Cid offers.
“I don’t exactly trust you either,” Hunter admits, crossing his arms and Cid smirks.
“Good. You shouldn’t,” she tells him before continuing, “But if keeping the kid safe means more money in my pocket, then it’s in my best interest to do so, isn’t it?” Cid asks, poking the sergeant’s chest plate with her clawed finger.
“If anything happens to her—“
“Yeah, yeah Bandana. Just get outta here, will you?” Cid waves Hunter off after shoving the chip at him. He looks at her and sighs. He doesn’t want to do this mission, but they still have a debt.
Hunter walks up as Omega readies her electrobow across her body.
“Ready when you are, Sergeant,” Omega salutes excitedly. Hunter kneels down to be eye-level with the girl.
“Not this time, Omega. You’re staying with Cid,” Hunter tells her.
“But th-the mission. I’m part of the squad too,” Omega insists.
“Then following orders shouldn’t be a problem,” Hunter argues gently, placing a hand on the girl’s shoulder.
“Stay close to Cid and don’t leave this parlor,” Hunter orders, “Got it, soldier?” He asks. Omega groans with a sigh as she rolls her eyes a bit.
“Yes sir,” she answers Hunter obediently. He nods and heads out with Tech and Echo following. Wrecker gives Omega a pat on the shoulder as if to say ‘don’t worry’ before following his brothers out to the Marauder while Omega looks on sadly.
“Hey, Tiny, I got a mission for you,” Cid says, waving the sponge she’s holding a bit, getting the girl’s attention. She tosses the scrubber to Omega, who catches it.
“Now get scrubbing,” Cid orders and Omega frowns before doing as she’s told, albeit with minimal/low effort.
2 of Cid’s regulars are arguing over a game of holochess as the Trandoshan bar owner walks past them. Omega’s sitting on a bar stool, her head resting on her hand (with her elbow propped on the table) slowly running the scrubber on her spot, clearly upset about being left behind. Cid approaches the blonde-haired girl.
“Enough with the moping around,” Cid snaps, “You’re bringing the mood down around here.” She motions around to the mostly empty parlor.
“Sorry,” Omega replies sarcastically before going back to looking sad.
“Alright, I’ll bite. What’s wrong with you?” Cid asks.
“I haven’t heard back from them yet. Do you think they’re ok?” Omega asks with a shrug.
“They better be for what this job’s paying,” Cid replies.
“I should’ve gone with them on the mission,” Omega says, angrily shoving the sponge away, “It’s not fair,” she crosses her arms angrily.
“I’ve got news for you, kid. Life ain’t fair,” Cid says, grabbing the sponge, “You don’t like it? Stop pouting and do something about it,” Cid says, receiving a look from the girl.
“Maybe if you weren’t so helpless, those 4 laser brains wouldn’t have left you here with me,” Cid tells the girl.
Having had enough of Cid’s talk, Omega frowns and slides off the stool before angrily walking away from the female Trandoshan. The 2 regulars, who have been paying attention to them, look at Cid and shake their heads.
“What’re you 2 looking at?!” Cid asks, throwing the scrubber at the Weequay before approaching Omega, who’s sitting on the edge of a booth seat, sitting with her arms crossed, facing away from them. Cid approaches the girl.
“I’m not helpless,” Omega says, clearly angry before turning away.
“Look, kid, I told dark and broody I’d keep an eye on you and keep you safe,” Cid explains.
“Hmm-for how much?” Omega asks. Cid scowls at the girl and scoffs.
“Not enough,” Cid grumbles before leaving the girl alone.
Cid decided to join her regulars, a Weequay and a Tall (Tahl? Idk), in a game of Dejarik. Omega decided to go back to scrubbing the bar table down, but is also listening in/paying attention to the game Cid’s playing.
“You’ve got her cornered!” the Tall exclaims triumphantly, causing Omega to look over. Cid is playing the 2 regulars.
“Oh, yeah, I’m real scared,” Cid mocks before thinking about her move.
“Delay all you want, you’re not getting out of this one,” the Weequay says. Cid is about to press the button.
“I wouldn’t do that,” Omega says, stopping Cid’s clawed finger. The bar owner looks at the young girl, who shakes her head.
“Hear that? We got an expert here,” Cid tells her opponents before going ahead with her move. She presses the upper button and the holographic figure chitters and whistles before getting taken down by one of the bigger figures. The Tall laughs.
“She’s done for!” The Tall says to the Weequay. Cid scowls lightly.
“I told you,” Omega warned.
“Well, expert, what should I do next?” Cid asks and Omega approaches, joining the game.
The young girl studies the holochess board a bit before pushing three buttons in a specific sequence and watching the board for her results. Cid’s largest figure takes out the last 2 dejarik figures her regulars had, causing the Tall to groan in frustration.
“You blew it!” He exclaims, shoving the Weequay a bit.
“Yeah, but you’re the one who said to bet it all!” The Weequay argues.
“You wanna take this outside?!” The Tall asks.
“Gladly!” The Weequay answers and they head outside to fight while Cid stares in disbelief.
“How’d you know to do that?” She asks the girl curiously. Omega smiles.
“It’s a strategy game. I’m good at strategy,” she says and Cid thinks for a moment.
“Hmm..how good? Enough to uh…win a few matches for some money?” Cid asks.
“Depends…what’s my cut?” Omega asks smartly.
“Hmm..30%,” Cid offers. Omega thinks on it briefly.
“60,” the girl counters. Cid thinks it over and nods.
At first, customers trickle in but once they start playing, and losing to Omega, a crowd starts to form and word of mouth spreads, bringing in all sorts of people. Despite the large, outstanding debt the Bad Batch owes, Omega’s able to win it back and then some with only 7 games. The girl just finishes off her latest opponent and the crowd cheers.
“Better luck next time,” Cid tells the male Nautolan, who pays Cid, who in turn, splits the credits with Omega.
“Can I use the refresher?” Omega asks and Cid nods.
“5 minute break everyone—refresh your drinks, and get your credits,” Cid tells the crowd that is gathered around the dejarik board. Omega hurries to the restroom at the back of the bar.
Once she’s done, Omega heads out to hear Cid grunting and calling out.
“Hey! Hey get back here you little thief!” Cid exclaims. Omega frowns and hurries into the parlor and spots Cid holding a small scrawny girl by her wrist. Omega sees the girl is wearing tattered looking robes and has thick, wild, shaggy blackish brown hair and bright dark eyes. The little girl can’t be older than 5, but because Omega grew up around clones, it’s a little hard for her to guess ages (since most clones have accelerated aging).
“Cid! What’s going on!?” Omega asks as the little girl wriggles and squirms, trying to free herself from Cid’s iron grip.
“I caught this little wamp rat stealing food from behind the bar-“ Cid explains before turning to her regulars.
“Should we call the police?” The Tall asks and the little girl gasps.
“Don’t-“ Cid tells them as the little girl manages to slip free from Cid’s grip.
“Grab her!” Cid exclaims. The girl manages to dodge the Weequay and Tall but Omega manages to catch the girl by her belt.
“Aah!” The little girl yelps and struggles in Omega’s grip.
“Good job kid,” Cid says.
“It’s ok-I’m not gonna hurt you-“ Omega assures the squirming, wriggling little girl, who practically radiates fear.
“Easy kid-easy-“ Cid says, approaching cautiously. The little girl’s breathing increases to a rapid pace and Omega notices.
“It’s ok-this is Cid, she’s a friend. This is her bar,” Omega explains. The little girl absorbs Omega’s words and sees the young clone give her an encouraging smile.
“It’s ok,” Omega assures her as the little girl stops squirming. She looks at Omega up and down before sensing the truth to the young clone’s words. The little girl is cautious but has stopped wriggling and Omega’s grip lightens up considerably.
“My name’s Omega, what’s your name?” Omega introduces. The mysterious little girl looks between Omega and Cid. At first the girl doesn’t answer, afraid of giving her identity away. Her stomach growls in hunger and she blushes.
“C’mon kid, I’ll let you have whatever we have to eat if you tell us your name,” Cid bribes. The girl nods and Omega takes the girl’s hand in her own and leads her over to the bar stools.
Omega takes the seat to the left of the girl as she climbs up into the bar stool that’s as tall as her. The little girl has to shift to her knees to reach the bar table. Cid offers the girl a cup of water and she takes it immediately.
“Thank you,” the little girl says before gulping down the whole glass. Cid smirks while Omega genuinely smiles.
“She talks,” Cid says and the little girl nods as she eyes the bowl of fries she got caught eating. Cid notices.
“You like those huh? I think we have more somewhere-“ Cid says and walks to the back to find more, leaving Omega alone with the girl.
“So, what’s your name?” Omega asks once they’re alone.
“Maisy…I’m Maisy,” the little girl introduces shyly. Omega smiles.
“Nice to meet you Maisy,” she says before her face falls.
“Are…you by yourself?” Omega asks. Maisy’s eyes widen and she tenses at Omega’s question before managing a small nod.
“I am…now,” Maisy replies sadly. Omega frowns worriedly.
“If you don’t have anyone else, you can come with me and my brothers-“ Omega tells Maisy. Before Maisy can ask, Cid walks back in holding a fresh basket of fries.
“So, did you find anything out, Tiny? Though I guess compared to her, you’re not so tiny,” Cid says and Omega smirks.
“She said her name’s Maisy and she’s by herself,” Omega explains.
“Where are your parents kid?” Cid asks the little girl, sliding the basket of food over to the small, scrawny girl who clearly hasn’t eaten in a while. Maisy looks up at Cid in confusion.
“Parents? What is parents?” Maisy asks.
“Parents, you know, the adults that take care of you-“ Cid explains. Maisy does remember one adult. An elderly man. There were other adults, but she remembers him the most. He was nice and kind.
“Gone…dead,” Maisy whimpers when she remembers what happened. Omega frowns sympathetically and places a comforting hand on the younger girl’s shoulder.
“It’s ok…you can stay with me,” Omega assures Maisy, who looks at her through teary eyes. Maisy gives a small watery sniff.
“Really?” She asks and Omega nods.
“I promise,” she says.
“Promise?” Maisy asks and Omega nods.
“It’s unbreakable, it’s what friends do,” Omega says.
“Friends,” Maisy repeats and Omega smiles. As she eats, Omega talks with Maisy, trying to find out any other information on the little girl.
“So how old are you Maisy?” Omega asks.
“I’m 4 and a half-“ Maisy answers before looking Omega up and down.
“How old are you?” Maisy asks her.
“I’m 11,” Omega tells her and the girl nods.
“There were a bunch of kids your age in the class above me,” Maisy tells Omega.
“Class?” Omega asks and Maisy nods.
“At the Temple,” she tells the young clone as she finishes up, licking her fingers. Omega thinks. Temple? She hasn’t seen any Temple on Ord Mantell since the Batch came to be in Cid’s service.
“Cid-what’s this Temple Maisy’s talking about?” Omega asks.
“Hmm, there’s nothing like that that I know of here. Could be the Jedi Temple on Coruscant…most everyone knows that one,” Cid tells Omega. Her eyes widen and she turns to Maisy.
“Are you…a Jedi?” Omega asks. Maisy blinks in shock at her.
“No-..No I’m not. Jedi carry lightsabers,” Maisy argues, remembering her master’s dying words. Omega frowns as if knowing the young girl isn’t telling her everything.
“She’s right kid, the Jedi I worked with carried those laser swords,” Cid tells Omega.
“Are you from here?” Omega asks and Maisy shakes her head.
“Have you been on Ord Mantell long? How did you get here?” Omega asks at once.
“I-I don’t know…m-my ship crashed here and…and I was taken. But I got away. I’m not sure how long it’s been, a few moons maybe,” Maisy tells Omega, who nods and thinks to herself. Maisy looks at Omega and while the young clone is deep in thought, Maisy’s eyes scan Omega’s face.
“A-Are you a clone?” Maisy asks Omega innocently. Omega looks at the young girl.
“I am…how did you know?” Omega answers honestly before asking.
“Your eyes. They look like Commander Fox’s…and he’s a clone. But..but I’ve never heard of a girl clone,” Maisy says, clearly confused. Omega nods.
“I’m different. I’m unaltered,” Omega tells the girl, surprising herself. She had just come to terms of who she is and yet, something about this little girl makes Omega want to tell her.
Flashes of Master Shaak Ti race by in Omega’s mind as she doesn’t have many of the Jedi Master. She knew the Jedi through the Togruta master in charge of the clones before Nala Se intervened. Omega wonders why this girl reminds her of the Jedi master…but the young clone suddenly wonders where Master Ti is and if she’s ok.
“Omega?” Maisy asks, getting Omega’s attention.
“Hm?”
“Are you ok?”
“Yes, it’s just…you remind me of someone from my home,” Omega says. Seeing Maisy not make eye contact, Omega realizes the younger girl is a bit uncomfortable.
Looking for a distraction, Omega spots the Dejarik board behind her and smiles.
“Hey, have you ever played Dejarik?” Omega asks the girl. She blinks and shakes her head.
“C’mon, I’ll teach you,” Omega offers and Maisy smiles.
“Ok,” she says and follows Omega.
They take the adjacent spots as Omega turns the holochess board on and explaining the rules and object of the game. She goes through each piece and their corresponding buttons.
“Ok, ready?” Omega asks and when Maisy nods, the older girl motions for the younger to go first. Maisy nods and starts off with a basic move.
As the moves go on, Maisy managed to corner Omega and beat the older girl. Wanting a rematch, Maisy happily agreed and the girls are now on their 4th game with Omega only winning 1 game.
“Are you sure you’ve never played this before?” Omega asks. Maisy shakes her head. Truth be told, Maisy’s life consisted of studying and training at the Temple on Coruscant. The Jedi had no time for such games. Once Maisy’s had enough, Omega tells Cid to resume the betting.
“Can I watch?” Maisy asks Omega and the older girl nods.
“Of course,” she says and pulls a seat over to her side so Maisy can sit next to her. The young girl smiles and hurries over as the next challenger takes the seat across the board.
The rest of the Batch finally return from successfully retrieving Senator Avi Singh. Hunter notices the amount of people first.
“What’s all this?” Wrecker asks, wondering why there are so many people wanting to go to Cid’s.
“C’mon,” Hunter says and they follow the sergeant inside.
“Man! No one can stop these kids!” A patron exclaims. Hunter and Tech push past a few to get a look.
“Of course,” Hunter says. Everyone’s eyes widen when they see Omega make the winning move. The crowd cheers.
That’s when Omega spots Hunter and the others within the crowd and waves at him.
“Alright, that’s it, no more bets,” Cid says, walking up to the Batch. Omega hurries over to her brothers. Maisy watches curiously from her spot. The others haven’t seemed to notice her yet.
“Where’d you learn to do that?” Wrecker asks, picking the young girl up.
“She’s a natural. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Cid says, making Omega smile.
“I told you to keep a low profile. This is the opposite,” Hunter scolds lightly, making Omega’s smile turn into a frown.
“Ease up Bandana,” Cid says, shoving Hunter roughly to get him to face her.
“Omega made enough money to clear off the debt you boys owe me, so try showing a little more gratitude to my friend,” Cid says, pointing her clawed finger at the sergeant, who blinks in surprise. She walks up to Omega, who is still in Wrecker’s arms.
“You did good,” she says, placing her clawed hand on Omega’s shoulder in an approving/kind gesture, making the girl smile again.
“Senator, glad you made it. Let’s talk payment,” Cid says, showing the Senator and his droid to her office to talk business, leaving the Batch alone in the parlor, since everyone cleared out. Maisy stays silent to watch the interaction between Omega and the men wearing clone armor painted black and red.
“You really paid off our debt?” Hunter asks Omega.
“I wanted to be useful, even if I couldn’t go on the mission,” Omega tells him. She looks at the holochess board and that’s when she spots Maisy’s thick, wild, shaggy dark brown hair poking out from behind and she remembers her new friend. She hurries over and the boys watch.
“It’s ok, they’re my brothers,” Omega says, holding something. The boys wonder who she’s talking to until she manages to coax a little girl out from hiding.
The Batch stare in shock.
“Hunter…Hunter this is my new friend,” Omega introduces.
“Omega?” Hunter asks, clearly confused at seeing Omega with a much younger girl in what appears to be Jedi robes.
“Woah,” Wrecker comments.
“Who is that?” Tech asks.
“I don’t believe it,” Echo says in awe. When Maisy looks them over, she suddenly recognizes them as clones.
“C-Clones?” She asks. Hunter nods.
“This is Hunter, our squad leader,” Omega introduces.
“Omega, who is that?” Hunter asks, repeating Tech’s question.
“This is Maisy. She’s my new friend,” Omega tells the sergeant. He looks at the little girl and she looks back at him with large, owl-like eyes.
“How did you two meet?” Echo asks and Omega explains that Cid caught her sneaking food.
“Who are you?” Maisy asks, tired of answering questions.
“I’m Wrecker-“ the largest clone introduces first and Omega smiles at how readily and easily Wrecker is to get to know her new friend.
“My name’s Echo..that’s Tech,” Echo introduces. Despite his modifications, he looks the most like the clones Maisy is used to. Tech analyzes her with his visor.
“Young human child. Origins…Coruscant?” Tech says and they all look at Maisy.
“You’re from Coruscant?” Hunter asks and Maisy nods and the boys share a look but don’t say anything.
“Omega’s been teaching me about Dejarik. She taught me how to play,” Maisy tells them and Omega smiles.
“Oh yeah? Well let’s put those strategy skills to the test. One match. If you win, no more sitting out on missions,” Hunter says, exciting Omega. He turns the board on and motions with his head to it. She hurries over and motions for Maisy to come sit next to her.
“You ready for this?” Hunter asks.
“Are you?” Omega asks back and the 2 begin to play.
“So Maisy…do you have any family or someone we can contact for you?” Hunter asks, making his move. The little girl shakes her head sadly.
“I’m…alone,” she says and Omega quickly pulls the younger girl closer, knowing that feeling all too well.
“Not with me you’re not. We’re friends and as your friend, I’m here for you,” Omega tells her, making a move.
“Omega-“ Hunter tries.
“Hunter-she has no one,” Omega insists. He sighs, making another move.
“We can’t take her with us Omega,” Hunter says and Omega frowns, clearly upset. Maisy looks away, clearly uncomfortable being talked about right in front of.
“Why not? Helping people is what soldiers do-“ Omega argues, making a counter move.
“We don’t have the resources. Besides, Maisy is a lot younger than you and needs more attentive care,” Hunter argues.
“I can take care of myself. I don’t wanna be a burden-“ Maisy argues.
“You’re not a burden,” Omega argues almost immediately before turning back to Hunter.
“Please Hunter? She needs us,” Omega begs. Hunter sighs and looks at Omega’s new friend.
Whether its her large pleading eyes or Omega’s insisting look, Hunter breaks first and nods.
“Alright,” Hunter sighs causing the 2 girls to light up excitedly.
“But there will be rules that have to be followed, understand?” Hunter says and Omega and Maisy nod.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Maisy exclaims happily before jumping into Hunter, wrapping her small, scrawny arms as much as she can around the sergeant. Omega smiles at the gesture and Hunter allows himself a small smile as well before putting a hand on Maisy’s back.
“Sure thing kid,” Hunter replies, though inside, wondering how the kriff he’s gonna manage this as Omega beings to tell Maisy all the great things about being in the squad.
