Okay SO I've never Bad Batch posted beyond reblogs but there's two episodes left and I'm going insane so my big giant theory for why the finale is titled The Cavalry Has Arrived with a sprinkle of Tech is Alive Yes I Am Delusional:
Tonight's episode is going to end with the Batch, Omega's gang, and CX-2 all colliding in one of the hallways.
Big Western faceoff, tumbleweed, yadda yadda y'know.
Right before the shooting starts, CX-2 tells them their escape plan through whatever hallway they're planning is strategically ill-advised, because *insert tactical explanation here*
Hunter: "Oh yeah? What, you trying to help us or something? No thanks."
CX-2: "It was worth the attempt. It's not as if we've ever followed orders anyway."
BIG PAUSE, CLOSE UP MONTAGE OF EVERYONE AS THE WORDS SINK IN
Omega: "...Tech?!"
Tech: *removes helmet to reveal it's him* "Well, I thought it was obvious. Shall we liberate some clones together, then?"
SMASH CUT, ROLL CREDITS, THE CALVARY HAS ARRIVED BECAUSE THE *ENTIRE* BATCH IS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THEY'RE GONNA SAVE THE CLONES.
end conspiracy theory rant. 🥴

Ok but what if she went to waddle Dee town in the forgotten land and all the waddle Dee’s just accepted her because they are really nice and not rude and they accept her and she has fun and a good time please I really need this for her
i considered drawing something out to this, and making it a happy ending sort of thing, because i think this is extremely sweet as a concept and i understand the desire for it!
that said, i decided that it would be a disservice to the lore i'm building for her, my biology/magic headcanons, and also the waddle dees as a whole. i might still draw it some day, because i could absolutely perceive a way it would work (ie: all waddle dee signatures messed up by Elfilis's portals, or their magic sensitivity nuked by it.) and i think it would be lovely
but for now, i have too many other things on the backburner to get to this promptly, and i wanted to answer this one sooner rather than leaving it for months
i will say, they're not being rude to her! there might be the odd one or two who is a bit snide, but there are some of those in every society. as a general rule the waddle dees not only understand that she is struggling, they want to accept and help her. many of them even know she's lonely, and feel pretty bad about it. but it's hard, and not just because she makes people uneasy!
i draw parallels with starstruck's gummed up magical signature to autism, as i'm autistic and so by merit (as a sona), so is she. but there are some parts that do not line up with the way autism functions in our world, and one of them is that touching or being around her can be genuinely, literally painful for some of the very sensitive waddle dees.
despite that, her waddle dee doctors actually pushed through it while she was in the castle dedede infirmary. because they were determined to treat her (mostly-surface-seeming) injuries and help her feel better. and they apologised for the reactions that they couldn't control anymore than she could control her signature; the various "sorry"s she parrots in this comic are implied to be from waddle dee doctors.
it's a fine line in alien-storytelling, especially with a real world disability parallel, and i'm trying to tread it as carefully as i can. but i don't intend to villainise the waddle dees at all for their reaction to her; they truly can't help it. many of them even do their best to push through it if she comes into their vicinity, especially because she often arrives with Beloved Celebrity, Captain Bandana Waddle Dee. but like a lot of us, she can tell when she's being tolerated, and so as a rule she just sort of tries to avoid it, one way or another

something i think about often with jane and jesse is how much their relationship is romanticized. as an addict, it blows my mind to see how much it is skewed by people. jesse and jane had a whirlwind romance, and while i love them dearly, it is undeniably an addict to addict relationship. it is undeniably a relationship that so easily could skew into associating the other individual with drugs, themselves. they knew each other for such a small amount of time before falling into this romance, and previous to that, jane didn't even label jesse as her boyfriend or significant other. addict to addict relationships are messy. they are often surged forward in high-adrenaline, impulse moves. does it mean that there wasn't love and care there? of course not! but does it mean that their relationship isn't the romance of the century, and should probably not be regarded as the fairytale that could've been? yeah, in my opinion, it shouldn't. relationships are messy, complicated, and nuanced. there is an ability for them to live on both sides of the fence.
it is entirely and fully possible for jesse and jane to have had some level of care and love for one another, and also not have been good for each other at that time. it is entirely and fully possible for jesse and jane to have been capable of better, to have had something good for one another, but weren't given the opportunity and time to flourish, because of horrifically cruel, selfish, and cold behavior from walter. something that is important to me is that jane was a longstanding addict, in a relationship with another longstanding addict. their relationship was short lived. they didn't even make it to 4 months of knowing each other. and they may have had some level of love and care for one another, but i think it's also important to ask how much jesse really knew about her. i think it's important to ask how grief can cement in idealization and romanticization, and begin to dissect out what that can mean for someone who, we canonically see, have mass amounts of guilt and regret and metaphorically carries this penance and cross from the remorse he holds. i think it's important to remember he didn't even know her birthday.

Eleceed minor characters appreciation post!!!
(read: me fangirling over characters who, imo, need more screentime)
I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW IN LOVE I AM WITH THIS CHILD!!
Like. I would literally die for this kid. Can we just adopt him?? And keep him in Korea with us forever?? His family clearly doesn't deserve him! And I feel like Jiwoo is probably the first person who has ever shown any concern for him and has been nice to this douchebag...just...please adopt him into your found family Jiwoo!! (also fuck you Duke!! how dare you hurt him, you lowly mob boss!!!)
I NEED him to make some friends who genuinely care about him!!! I also want Jiwoo to give him a bear hug. He needs one.
Next up is Kang Suman!!!!!
Do I even need to say why this man is the definition of perfection?!?!?!
He is the only sane person in the Kang family and the way he held Jiwoo protectively after he was tortured?? and the way he tries to look out for his nephew as best as he can?? Literal perfection.
Next!!! Him!!!!!
Muse is the CUTEST member of Frame. Fight me.
It was like a flip switched in my mind the moment he took his mask off. It's the eyes, I swear. He just looks so trustworthy; not to mention how well he treated Jiwoo from the very beginning (granted he was just being polite but damn!! we love a man with good manners!!)
And Jiwoo definitely won him over after his fights. I LOVE how genuine his concern was for our main boy!!
He also definitely made the best first impression among all the Frame members!!!
Next up!! The superior Patrick sibling!!!
I am that meme "I've only known this punk for one chapter but if anything happens to him, I will kill everyone and then myself."
Like, come on!! The way he said "You're so kind that I'd feel bad for ignoring you" to Jiwoo?? and just the whole vibe of his character?? I Love Him. Far more than his brother, definitely!!
The moment he was leaving I was like "Nooo invite him to your gang Jiwoo!!!" He'd be such a fun addition to our idiots!!!
And lastly...okay hear me out...
Now I know that Roist is kind of an asshole and he definitely DID NOT make the best first impression BUT!! the way he disses and insults Duke? Gold.
Also, let's be real. At least he asked to meet and fight Jiwoo in a not-very-civil-but-at-least-it-wasn't-an-ambush kind of way. He isn't the best but not the worst either. (And his name is so...fun to say!! ...Idk I just love it!!)
And I loved how surprised-but-also-kinda-pleased he looked after seeing Jiwoo kick Duke's ass.
Bonus? He's Kayden's fangirl!!!
Look at him!! He looks like he's two seconds away from going sparkly-eyed and squealing like a high schooler with a crush lol!!! He is the president of Kayden's fan club!!! This side of him is so cute!!!!!
(Add him to the list of Potential Future Hyung?? Idk I just Love this psycho!!)
