A Redraw Of My Favorite Scene From The Outpost. As Usual, I Am Blown Away By Every Episode Of The Bad

I’m reblogging this because it’s good to look back at where you came from ^_^

Okay, but hear me out…

Sometimes I question the clone wars artists for how they decided to make armor. It’s cool as all get out, but why do the elbow and knee pads open outwards when the men are running into battle with their arms and legs bent most of the time? it leaves a big gap. It’s a wonder we don’t see more guys shot in the elbows and knees!

Anyway, the Alpha sketch is progressing nicely! Now for his silly pantaloon-kama

As an irl emotional support human who also suffers from severe anxiety, I can confirm that adventures are what I was built for! It’s less scary when you have to do scary things with people who know what they’re doing, and it can make you braver in the moment because secretly, somewhere deep inside you, you know that you can do the scary thing! And working alongside people who also know you can do it, and encourage and depend upon you to do it will help you overcome your fear! Now as far as the emotional supporting, I’ve only ever done it platonically, so I can’t speak to how important the more private aspect can be. But I do know that providing people with support in the form of help with household work, external opinions on their schoolwork, company during a time when they just need someone in the room with them, a play partner to solve puzzles or strategize against, an organizational aide, good and thoughtful conversation, and someone simply to share a meal with can go miles in terms of helping their mental health. And yours too! If you are a person who enjoys doing these things for your people, then this role in their lives is as beneficial to you as it is to them. So don’t discount yourself as an emotional support human just because you suffer from crippling anxiety. I’ll bet if you examined your life, you’d find yourself already doing these things in perilous situations <333

Among the Bad Batch, we see a lot of the members actually fulfilling some of this role for each other: Crosshair and Echo running interference between Tech and Wrecker, Echo caring about the cleanliness of their shared living space, Hunter quietly keeping track of the medals the Batch has won together, Wrecker helping to regulate and vent emotions at the loss of Crosshair and Tech’s accidental apathy, Tech praising Omega for small victories, Omega’s ever-ready forgiveness especially when someone lets her down, Crosshair being physically present to Echo when the battle turned bad for them on Voss. All of this is emotional support human behavior.

I do think they could absolutely benefit from having a dedicated non-combatant who is the Emotional Support Human who wears the reflective vest and whose job it is to lay their head in their laps and help them through whatever rough stuff is going on this time. They have a lot of destructive behaviors that the Batch really aren’t equipped to handle for one-another. Like Hunter’s personality-shifting confrontation anxiety (I suspect Crosshair may have actually helped him with this one), Omega’s inappropriate selflessness, and Echo’s survivors’ guilt. There’s definitely still a place for us timid, anxious beans who just wanna give our favorite fictional characters some care and attention <333

Every time i think how fun it would be to go on adventurers with the batch my real life anxeity humbles me real quick. Like gurl your hands start to tremble everytime you have to drive somewhere unknown on your own, good luck on fighting with Gulags

your art??? is so scrumptious????

Thank you!! I’m having fun re-learning!

I’m taking Chem II again this summer after already having failed it once. That stuff’s really hard!! Especially the titration equations. It’s like re-learning math but with slightly off rules and that throws me off every time. @wrecking-ball-99 , you have my constant admiration!

Tech: *drops a pile of random shit infront of Wrecker* I wish to see how many explosives you can make from just these materials.

Wrecker: A lot!!! *starts grabbing shit from the pile*

Hunter: *whispering to Tech* why?

Tech: *eyes glued to his datapad* Omega wanted to make him a surprise so I was instructed to "keep him distracted".

Tech is a Giant Schnauzer

This is a breed I didn’t know about before my discord friends suggested it. They’re very loving and playful. They don’t adapt to change terribly well, but they are very smart and trainable, since they are a working breed. It’s like these good doggos were made for Tech!!

He is a retired service dog, but you would never know it for how poorly-behaved he can be. He has a flagrant disregard for house rules such as no dogs on the furniture, and no being under the table during mealtimes. Tech knows how to open the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, and the fridge door too! So Crosshair has had to childproof everything. For some reason Tech especially likes to steal strings. He doesn’t do anything with them, just hoardes them in his dog bed. He will take shoelaces off shoes if you’re not careful!

The reason Tech had to retire is because he has late onset PRA, and has been going blind for the last few years. He doesn’t let it get in his way, though! He relies more heavily on his hearing and smell, and he’s just as curious and excited to explore and cause trouble as he ever was.

@skellymom I hope you like him <333

I also occasionally write the small oneshot on AO3 under the same name! You can find some good Omega, Wrecker and Crosshair angst here

Crossover Episode!!!

I imagine in this au, Omega was some sort of human experiment that KorTac rescued accidentally in the process of raiding Dr. Nala Se’s facility

This art is so gorgeous and so cute!! Thank you so much for drawing my tiny problem Jedi <333

(Ell is the one on the far right, my tiny trouble bean)

The colors work so well together, and I really like the tiny stars in their eyes!! It’s great how Cirz looks precious and innocent as ever, but Ell looks like she’s about to cause some problems!! And Shiri is absolutely adorable!! She’s so composed, I can’t tell if she’s gonna join Ell in the mischief or protect Cirz from whatever chaos is about to ensue <3333

Group chat stuff w/ @nobody-expects-the-inquisitorius @theartgremlin , those three are always up to something.
