going to kinda play devil's advocate here... ok so at first, i too was laughing at how Hunter, Crosshair, and Wrecker seemed so ridiculously confident - slightly egotistical, even?? - in taking on Asajj Ventress of all people
and yes, they do show far more confidence than most others would. i'm guessing it's due to a few reasons (self-confidence, or ego, in their skills; underestimating or simply unaware of how powerful Ventress really is).
but ultimately, i'm not so sure they're fighting her to win, or even looking for a fight in the first place... Ventress is the one playing with them, wanting to stick around to "finish testing Omega", when there's not much in it for her (unless Ventress was hoping for an apprentice??). they know she was once an assassin. they asked her to leave and she refused. Hunter even looks over to both Wrecker and Crosshair as if confirming "let's remove her ourselves then, yeah?"
so i think it's not about confidence exactly, it's that they feel like don't really have a choice, and they will die to protect Omega; the 'confidence' is really "we will literally do anything to protect Omega and we're not going down without putting up a fight. doesn't matter who you are, what weapons or skills you have, what magic powers. we will fight to the death for her."
First chapter out now! :D

When the Batch crash land on the outer rim planet of Sorgan, they discover things are not what they seem.

We got wet hair Hunter (win)
We got violence but no bad batch deaths (this is a win)
Tech is confirmed…dead (lose)
Hunter screaming/groaning audio (for free) (win)
Crosshair loses his HAND?? (lose)
The batch grow old with Omega :( (a bittersweet win)
guyysss the tears haven’t stopped 😀it’s been like three hours😀😀😀 im so fucking sad man, the ending was beautiful- literally so lovely, but my heart is broken that my favorite characters stories have ended. My favorite man ever is old and gray (still a mega dilf tho I need him sooo bad) but he’s aging :(( and he has to watch his little girl go :((( like man. im so emotional. like stoppp it hurtssss omg :((( it was such a perfect ending to a perfect show, I couldn’t be more pleased- but im still SO SADDDD I cannot rewatch this episode EVER (only rewatching the free Hunter whimper audio scene that shit was fire)
His grey hairs and distant eyes I can’t guys I can’t it’s so over for my mental health for the next 300 years
LET ME COOK
DO U GUYS
OK LIKE HEAR ME OUT BUT
Crosshair definitely is STILL hiding something. The operatives make him MADLY uncomfortable- the sense of strange brotherhood between them scares him more than anything we’ve seen so far, maybe because, well, loyalty is a big deal to him, but also because one of them may actually be his brother.
He did not mention he was being put through operative✨ pre school ✨until Howzer pressed for answers, and he was forced to spill some beans. But I don’t think that’s all he’s keeping secret. Like, he wanted to keep the operative as FAR away from his brothers as possible(ie, drawing fire away, 1v1ing)- why? Could it just be he wants to deal with these clones on his own? Spare his brothers the fight? Protect them?
Or is it because he doesn’t want to traumatize them further with a brainwashed Tech? He doesn’t want their memory of their “dearly departed” brother to be marred by this…hollow, empty assassin before him. He can’t do that to them. But he *knows*, and it’s eating him alive.
There’s still so much he’s keeping from everyone, and not even Omega knows what he witnessed on Tantiss. He knows things, and he’s too afraid to admit them.
…..IDK THESE EPISODES KILLED ME MENTALLY THEY WERE SO GOOD BUT LEFT ME WITH SO MANY QUESTIONSSSSS AHHH
Plussss I wanna see more Hunter and wrecker content PLEASE my pookies need more screen time before I become a crosswhore AND Hunter girlie (one Star Wars man obsession is ENOUGH PLEASE).
ALSO THE THEORY THAT HUNTER DIES THIS SEASON IS KINDA STARTING TO FERMENT IN MY BRAIN BC WHY ELSE WOULD THEY ESTABLISH CROSSHAIR AS AN INCREASINGLY PARENTAL, DADDY MATERIAL GUY??? ESPECIALLY WITH HUNTER NOTICING OMEGA AND CROSS GROWING CLOSER I am ill do not let me think
I can see it now, Hunter sacrifices himself, but before he does, he tells Crosshair that “I know you’ll protect her. I trust you.” And then he fucking DIES, content with knowing Crosshair can be her newfound dad and protect her when he can no longer do so (I am in pain).
also when Hunter stood up for Crosshair >>>>> THATS MY MAN YALL HE WAS FR LIKE “ay man only I can shit on my brother man fuck off”
ALSO when Crosshair said “too bad” something changed in me (trying to resist crosswhore feelings)
There are two wolves inside of me (Hunter Wife (he’s the love of my LIFE) and Crosswhore) (actually three bc I’m also. A wrecker simp.)
I have been summoned
Some sketches pertaining to werewolf! Hunter.
I feel like Tech would definitely try his best to research everything about the dark side of the force and Sith alchemy, mostly to find anything that can help cure his brother (and, of course, just because it’s very interesting to read about and he genuinely enjoys learning new things). But the content he’s delving into is probably less than appropriate for children, especially considering all the violence, dismemberment, etc, (you know, Sith things) that are all over his research. Spooky stuff, and not meant for Omega, lol.
I also think it would be pretty curious if the Jedi and the republic destroyed or kept all Sith documents pertaining to werewolf stuff under heavy security(Tech can get through (probably.. maybe) but it’s gonna be a hassle). Honestly, they might’ve just destroyed everything about the Sith and their discoveries as a way to purge their influence from the galaxy, but I think they could’ve kept a few things, right? *wink wink*
Finally, there’s Hunter writhing in agony 👍. Werewolf transformations are not pleasant, that is for sure.
The transformations run on a full moon cycle, and should occur once a month. However, during space travel, they become spontaneous and unpredictable, making intergalactic transportation a rather grueling and painful experience(trust me, he’d know).
(Cid would bully him about being a wolf man thing but in all honesty, she does feel bad for him 💀)
(I should be able to post the first chapter really soon! I just need to do some final edits to smooth it out)(writing is hard sometimes 💀)
I'm not sure if it's canon that hunters face tattoo continues further down, but I came across @lornaka s take on hunters tattoos and really wanted to give it a try myself :3
Let him stab people let him KILL
….ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FINAL EPS LET HIM MESS SOME PEOPLE UP WITH HIS KNIFE LET HIM CARVE UP SOME BITCHES
This man is going to become absolutely unhinged.. He’s going to be filled with so much rage, regret, sorrow… He’s going to be out for blood and vengeance. This man is honestly going to become Joel Miller, as I said in my previous post. He’s going to hunt down them all down until he gets his daughter, and Crosshair, back. Hemlock is right, Hunter is very paternal, and because of that, he’s going to go to the absolute end of the galaxy to get her back and rip every single last one of them apart.
The animators deliberately cut away before we could see Hunter with wet hair because they knew we’d all just straight-up die of swooning like Victorian ladies
chapter 3 is now up! 👀
Trying to enjoy the werewolf au without mentally inserting my own OCs into it
Fighting a losing battle trust me😭💀
