Signing Off

Blame @quazart for this. We were chatting and she brought up an idea where Wade dies helping the boys stop a big baddie, and Knux has a really hard time with it. The angst was too good to pass up.

~~~

Knuckles sat on the roof of the Wachowski home, his knees drawn up as he looked out over the treetops surrounding Green Hills. Music filtered into his ears through the headphones tucked between his quill dreads. Guitar riffs and drum beats and synthesizers drowned out the sounds of nature around him.

Normally, these songs made him happy. They reminded him of the time he and Wade had gone on the road trip to Reno. He had been training Wade in the ways of the warrior, like his father had trained him, but Wade had seemed to teach him a few things, too.

How to accept any success as a victory. How to let his guard down. How to enjoy music and time with others.

It hadn’t occurred to Knuckles at the time, but Wade had become his best friend. His first real friend. Sonic didn’t count—their friendship started as more of an alliance born of necessity. That wasn’t to say that Sonic wasn’t a friend, it was just . . . different.

Wade had extended his hand in friendship without expectations, without judgment. And he had accepted Knuckles for who he was.

The current song ended, and a new one began.

And now he was gone.

Knuckles’ grip tightened on the discman, and he had to force himself to relax. He glanced down at it, nestled in his large mitt, covered with little scratches and stickers for bands he had never heard of. Evidence of a life of regular use.

It had been Wade’s. He’d given it to Knuckles a few months ago, since the echidna didn’t have a phone or any convenient way to listen to the Jammerz CDs Wade had made him.

“I pass it to you, my warrior master,” Wade had said as he handed it to Knuckles. “May you rock out to your jams whenever your heart desires.”

A little smile curled Knuckles’ lip. His jams. He’d never had jams before. Not until Wade.

The smile dropped, and his throat tightened.

He turned the music up.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. He wasn’t supposed to be gone.

It had happened a week ago. Another ‘big baddie’, as Sonic liked to call them, had come, and Knuckles and the hedgehog and fox had gone out to protect their home. They did battle, things went south, and Tom and Wade had come to help.

He should have sent them away.

Maybe Wade thought he had to prove himself. Maybe Knuckles’ teachings had raised Wade’s confidence to almost arrogant levels. Maybe he truly thought himself a warrior, and thus joined the fight to help his fellow brothers-in-arms.

Whatever the reason, Wade had put himself in harm’s way to keep Tails safe.

And it had cost him his life.

He had died in Knuckles’ arms.

His apprentice. His friend.

Gone.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

He should have been faster. Stronger. He should have protected not only Tails, but Wade as well. Humans weren’t like him and his brothers. They were more vulnerable, physically. An attack that he or the hedgehog could easily shake off could be . . . had been . . . devastating to a human.

Why hadn’t he considered that before? Why had he never thought about how much weaker humans were? They weren’t as strong, that was a given, but their bodies were just so . . . weak. Fragile. Delicate. One good blow and they’d crumble.

He was a fool to have missed that.

The song ended and another began, the last on the CD—“KnuxJammerz01”. Wade had drawn little pictures and words on the front of the label, little cartoons of himself and Knuckles, smiling and rocking out to little musical notes around them. The little drawn echidna wore dark glasses, and it had made Knuckles laugh when he’d seen it the first time.

His throat tightened again, and he swallowed hard.

He wanted to stop the CD. This was the last song, and then there was one more recording before it would loop back to the beginning. He didn’t want to hear that recording. It hurt too much.

He shouldn’t have trained him. Shouldn’t have gotten close to him. Shouldn’t have become best friends and gone bowling once a week and met his family and learned to have fun and enjoyed the music Wade had shown him.

If none of that had happened, Wade would still be here.

Guilt ate at Knuckles, and he didn’t understand it.

Wade fell in battle. That was the greatest honor a warrior could receive. Wade should—theoretically—be in the Great Battlefield in the Sky, alongside the other warriors from Knuckles’ tribe. (He supposed. He wasn’t clear on what kind of afterlife Wade’s religion spoke of.) Knuckles should be happy for Wade, proud of him for his bravery and valor. Wade fell protecting others and fighting a great evil. He performed admirably and honorably when the situation was dire.

That was all Knuckles knew.

You live, you fight, you die. That’s what his tribe had taught him. And that’s what he had taught Wade.

That was life.

. . .

But that’s not what Wade had taught him.

Wade taught him to live. To find things in life that brought happiness. To celebrate the little things. To enjoy things like bowling and music and mini golf. Things that would seem silly to a warrior, but that had been . . . fun. Knuckles always had fun with Wade. And the universe didn’t seem so hard and dangerous for a while.

The song ended, and a knot tightened in Knuckles’ chest, right behind his ribs. He closed his eyes, almost steeling himself for the last track on the CD.

"Hey, hey! You're listening to W.A.D.E, Wade radio and these go out to a very special little red dude who taught me to find my own strength. You’re the best space echidna I’ve ever known, even if you need a little work on your 7/10 splits. Nah, I’m just kidding! Love ya, Knux and I hope you liked the tunes! Until next time, this is Wade, signing off! Later!”

The sound of his friend’s voice made that knot in his chest tighter, twisting it painfully as his throat constricted. He swallowed, tasting tears.

No. No. He should be happy that Wade got to prove himself in battle. Proud of him. That’s what all warriors aspire for.

. . . right?

So why did he feel so horrible? Why did his chest feel like someone was standing on it? Why did he find no pleasure from the music that used to make him happy? Why did just hearing Wade’s voice make him want to scream and cry and break things?

The discman whirred softly, and the first song started again.

Suddenly angry, Knuckles moved to turn it off, but his large mitts made him clumsy. The discman slipped from his hand, hitting the slant of the roof and sliding toward the edge.

“NO!” he cried, lunging for it before it could go over, but he was too slow. He watched as the device slipped over the edge of the roof, yanking the headphones from his dreads. It fell, landing on the cement below with a gut churning CRUNCH.

Knuckles crawled to the edge of the roof, looking down at the shattered device below. He couldn’t tell from this angle if the CD itself was damaged.

His throat tightened. If the CD was broken, he’d never hear Wade’s voice again. It was his only copy.

The anger that had been a little flash a moment ago roared into a blazing fire now.

This was wrong. All of it. Wade shouldn’t be gone. He shouldn’t be feeling so terrible. Everything should still be like it was a week ago.

It wasn’t fair. He’d survived for over 10 years by himself out in the galaxy and never once cried or felt like his chest was about to collapse and suffocate him like it did now.

He felt like a child again. After his tribe had fallen.

After his father had fallen.

No. He would not think of that.

Only he had, and now that old grief came up to mix with his new. The pain in his chest grew tenfold, and he felt like he was drowning.

Knuckles gasped in a few shallow breaths, before pushing them out in a loud, almost primal scream. He turned, running the length of the roof, before jumping down and heading for his homemade obstacle course.

Training. He needed to train. To get his mind off this and become stronger. So this never, ever, ever happened again.

~X~X~X~

Hours later.

Knuckles moved through his course again, running and jumping and swinging through the dangerous platforms. He’d lost count how many times he’d completed it today. He simply wanted that tight feeling in his chest, that ache, to go away.

It wasn’t working.

He was getting tired, and his movements became more sloppy. His timing was off, resulting in scratches and bruises he would have easily avoided in the past.

His patience was also gone. When he mistimed a jump and got a face full of tree, he growled, pulling his fist back and delivering a blow that exploded it to splinters.

That wouldn’t be the only casualty of his temper.

Shortly before sunset, his obstacle course more closely resembled a demolition zone. Every trap, every challenge, every barrier in his carefully constructed course was destroyed. Now he focused on the large boulders that surrounded the course, pounding and punching and shattering them one-by-one in an attempt to soothe his grief and sorrow.

Every punch left a shower of dust and pebbles.

But did nothing to lessen his pain.

He grunted and growled and gnashed his teeth. He drew on his power and destroyed anything within reach. He pounded the ground, sending shockwaves through the Earth, confusing seismologists for the foreseeable future.

But still that pain remained.

He threw another boulder across three miles, and turned to scream toward the heavens.

“WHY? Why does my chest ache as though a hole has opened inside it? Why am I not more proud he fell with honor in battle? Why . . . why . . .”

He paused, breathing hard and almost deflating as all the tension ran out of him.

“I miss him.” He spoke softly, his voice sounding much younger than his age. “I miss my friend.”

The admission was like a dam had broken. All the guilt, all the grief, all the sorrow and loneliness slammed into him, pushing that knot up into his throat and forcing out a sob. Knuckles slapped a hand over his mouth, and fell to his knees as tears flooded his eyes.

Warriors don’t cry. He hadn’t cried since that day, way back when his tribe fell.

But no matter how much he scolded himself, he could not stop. More sobs echoed in the quiet forest, and tears dripped down his snout, dripping onto the forest floor beneath him. He cried for his lost tribe. And he cried for his lost father.

And as the stars winked into the sky above him, Knuckles the Echidna, the most dangerous warrior in the galaxy, cried for his lost friend.

~~~

I don't have a full story figured out with this, but I have a few other scenes rolling through my head, one from Callie's pov. If anyone's interested in more, lemme know and I'll continue.

Dagger Squad Road Trip?

Yes please.

They rent a party bus, because they don't want to split themselves up.

Maverick is not allowed to drive. At all. He's very offended.

"What do you mean I can't drive?"

"Mav. You don't drive anything with more than two wheels well."

"Point taken."

Penny and Fanboy are in charge of drinks and snacks. Penny makes homemade treats and sandwiches. Fanboy is like a toddler when it comes to the snack aisle so you know he gets ALL the good stuff. They make sure the cooler is full of water, Gatorade, soda, etc.

"How much did you spend at the store Mickey?"

"You don't want to know man....."

Bob is charge of navigation (haha) he's got Google Maps up and he makes sure whoever is driving knows they have 118 miles until the next exit. No last second merging with Bobby on navigation duty.

"Hey Rooster?"

"Yeah Bob?"

"You are going to want to get in the right lane soon. We only have 88 miles left until the next exit."

"Bob..."

Rooster is charge of music. He gave himself this job, nobody else wanted him in charge of music. He has spent a week curating the best Playlist he can. The skip button is used quite a bit.

"Is this Great Balls of Fire for the sixth time in 2 hours?"

"It's a classic Jake, stop being uncultured."

*everyone groans*

Speaking of Jake, this man is a fucking menace. He wants to play every possible road trip game. Nobody wants to play, but this asshole forces them to. He is the feral goblin child on this road trip. He asks "are we there yet?" 5 minutes into a 16 hour drive.

"Jake it is 2am, go to sleep."

"Shut up Phoenix, I'm 2 states away from seeing all 50 state license plates."

Phoenix, Payback, and Coyote are just chilling in the back seat watching the chaos unfold like the baddies they are.

*group arrives at their destination*

"Hey wait. How did you three get out of driving?"

"You guys were too busy arguing to even notice we were there."

can you do a timeline of kelsey and Jamie pls😭😭 im new

Here it is y'all - the Jamie & Kelsey timeline 🤠

All of this info comes from IG, Kelsey & Brynn's podcast (out of line), Brynn's TikTok, Flyers beat reporters, Twitter, Tumblr, and the NHL website.

If I've missed anything or need to make any corrections lmk!

April 30, 2023

Trevor & Jamie attend Stagecoach music festival in CA and meet Kelsey & Brynn on Day 3 (April 30)

Trevor went up to Kelsey, he tapped her on the shoulder and asked her her name. They introduced themselves to each other. He asks "who's your friend" about Brynn and then introduces them to Jamie, introducing him as "his roommate".

In the podcast, Kelsey describes Jamie and Trevor as "absolutely hammered"

Trevor & Jamie tell them they're from California, that they were in college but dropped out to play hockey. They told them they're hockey players but at the time Kelsey & Brynn (who don't watch sports/hockey) didn't know that they meant professional hockey players for an NHL team.

They hang with them for a while (pics below) then as the girls are leaving T & J try to convince them to stay but they don't. At some point Brynn & Trevor exchange numbers - she has his number in her phone, presumably he texted himself from her phone in an effort to get the girls to meet up with them later on at SC. They don't end up meeting up again.

May-July 2023

A while later (after SC), Brynn is scrolling on TikTok and sees an edit of Trevor. She recognizes him.

She looks through her messages and pictures and finds them on IG and realizes that the two guys they met at SC are famous athletes.

They all follow each other on IG. Brynn, Kelsey, and Jamie are all still mutuals but Trevor unfollowed the girls pretty quickly.

Jamie likes Kelsey's IG post may 27, 2023

Jamie likes Kelsey's IG post july 2, 2023

August 2023

Brynn & Kelsey talk about JD & TZ on their podcast.

Kelsey says "we need to do anything and everything that we can to manifest seeing them again because the last time we saw them was like the worst way to end it"

Brynn says that Kelsey has been in contact with JD and that they're probably going on a date.

Kelsey says that she isn't sure and doesn't know "how much you can trust a guy like that"

Brynn insists she is going to make this date happen for Kelsey. Kelsey says she should probably focus on boys that live closer to her in AZ.

Also around this time, Brynn posts multiple TikToks referencing TZ and the fact that she fumbled the bag.

My Top Ten Barbie Movies

With the movie approaching, I'm dubbing this Barbie Month, and pushing back on the Studying part of the Masterpost for a little longer. July is pink party time!

Today, I’m sharing my Top Ten Barbie movies, which I wonder if they’ll be controversial! Share yours, lets compare!

10: Christmas Carol. She cast herself as the villain, we love that! This is unironically a good adaptation of A Christmas Carol. It doesn’t beat the Muppets, but there are many worse adaptations that get way more praise. Eden Starling is a fantastic Barbie-fied Scrooge, and I love Morwenna Banks.

9: Star Light Adventure. I love Star Wars, I love Star Trek, I love big dumb himbos whose entire motivation in life is Eat Food, Drive Fast, Drink Respect Women Juice. Sometimes Barbie movies should be ranked by their Ken, and Prince Leo is just great. Also, a unique sci-fi plot that could only come from a Barbie movie.

8: Spy Squad. Listen, sometimes I just like dumb, fun movies. This is a stellar spy movie with a fun premise, quirky characters, a spy HQ in the H of the Hollywood sign, and the baddie is just their rival in a wig. Its cute, its colourful, they give Barbie a knock-off lightsaber. No complaints.

7: Big City, Big Dreams. We’re finally back to a good, queer-leaning Barbie movie! I love Malibu and Brookln’s dynamic, I think they’re so cute platonically or romantically, and I had fun with Mermaid Magic and Epic Road Trip too. I don’t love the tragic miscommunication moment, but I guess they had to add conflict in the last ten minutes. I love the songs and their final performance enough that all is forgiven.

6: Video Game Hero. I just think its fun, ok? This is the “there’s more than one way to ___” thing that Pink Shoes tried (and I still love, just not enough to Top Ten it) but went the wrong way about in my opinion. Video Game Hero is not a groundbreaking political commentary, or a classic musical, but it just has a special place in my heart.

5: Three Musketeers. I genuinely do not care for any other version of Three Musketeers. No one will ever beat Barbie. I love the secret society of swordfighters, I love that Prince Louis changes his tune by the power of… well, the Power of Four forevermore, I guess. I love that every version of Three Musketeers features precisely 0 muskets, and the Barbie version took that new heights with one of them fully just having ribbons.

4: The Fairytopia Trilogy. I think they get better and better with each iteration. I love the story of a wingless fairy getting wings, and then giving them up selflessly in 1 and 2, and I love that the ultimate message is that of kindness and courage. It’s also absolutely just me being blinded by childhood nostalgia, but Laverna is a top tier villain too.

3: Magic of Pegasus. I have a lot of positive thoughts about this one, but the main one is Aiden!! I think his story is quite unique and complex and he’s one of the strongest love interests of any of th Barbie movies. I also think this one is so pretty and purple, and Cloud Kingdom is glorious, and the quest plot is fantastic.

2: Princess and the Pauper. Now I know this one will not be controversial, except that it’s nt number one! Annaliese and Erika are both delightful, Julian and Dominic too, and even the characters lower on the roster are fun. Not to mention the best songs that make me want to do a full stage production.

1: Princess Charm School. This probably comes as no surprise if you’ve read my essay. I think that the socioeconomic implications are intense, I think that the murder plot is exciting, I think Hadley and Isla as Gardania Unsolved have to be among my favourite Friend Characters, and I think Blair is actually a great character too. I also love Delancey’s redemption, and how it comes from being faced with real-world consequences.

#I already know that some of you are going to be outraged on behalf of 12 dancing princesses #listen there were nearly twenty on my S tier on the tierlist I'm posting on Friday #I'm devestated to have hacked this list to bits #pink academic #pink academia #pink #academia #pink academia films #barbie movies #barbie movie #barbie 2023

more fluffy nyo rusame thoughts since yall liked the last one so much

Anya mandating when they watch movies. makes alfred sit down to watch cheesy new year and Christmas movies with her.

"All they're doing is yelling."

"yes! it is russian rom-com!"

also makes him change clothes before they go to the ethnic grocery store because she will not be embarrassed in front of the checkout girl no way no how alfred put on this calvin klein outfit you dress like old man on golf course.

Anya has a million petnames for Alfred. Fedka. Fedya. Milyi (sweetie). Daragoi (dearest).

if, for some reason, alfred has Fucked Up he does the only reasonable thing and hands over his MasterCard. she proceeds to drain his bank account at the Gucci store and treats her sisters to lunch.

Alfred knows how to braid hair and helps Anya braid her hair into high-fantasy princess styles.

"you look like a game of thrones character!!"

"i want to be the dragon girl."

"oh you're definitely the dragon girl"

they!!! talk!!! about!!! space!!!! a LOT!!!!

honestly them stargazing someplace in Montana on a road trip sounds....so fucking good. G O D

alfred is still mourning pluto. anya thinks he's silly. alfred mourns harder

they both have huge sweet tooths.

they would share a dessert with two spoons but let's face it, they're both too greedy for that shit.

i feel like they're both gamers. they visit each other's minecraft farms and animal crossing villages :')

me n the wife cuddlin in the gamer chair

one time alfred made anya hot cocoa when she was on her period and she cried :')

she's not used to people being nice to her like that

"is that :'( whipped cream?"

"yeah, do you not like it? jeez, i didn't mean to make you cry i can make another batch if you want"

"no :') it's perfect"

anya is taller than alfred i do not make the rules

how comically large the size difference is between them depends on you

she still steals his clothes :3 her favorite is this red flannel with a detachable hood that smells like him

and yes. she's sent him nudes with her wearing it

alfred gases her up when she's about to go out. whether it's for a business trip or a girl's night, he wants her to know that she looks like a baddy and he's proud of her

more often than not he's her photographer for nights when she wants to post selfies

once when Alfred is having a bad day, Anya constructed a pillowfort and they binge-watched the Star Wars prequels and cuddled in it. Alfred got to have his hair played with (WITH acrylic nails) while lying on the softest boobs this side of the prime meridian. to say he was in paradise was a gross understatement

in the same vein, they're both HUGE fans of any and all kinds of sci-fi. Star Wars, Isaac Asimov's writings, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of Storms, Solaris, ANYTHNG by Ursula K. Le Guin, etc.

honestly?? they just really love and respect each other. girlboss x malewife but they're both autistic nerds who love the sky and Hershey's chocolate. we stan

#nyo! rusame #rusame #nyotalia #hws russia #hws america #rusame imagines #hetalia imagines #hetalia headcanons #nyo russia #aph russia #aph america #hetalia rusame #hws rusame #rusame fluff #mine #amerus #aph rusame #alfred f jones #anya braginskaya

History of the Hypercube and How it Saved Jon Kent From a Volcano

Superman (2016)

#8 & 9

After a vivid dream, Jon Kent constructs a device that when completed assimilates Kryptonian knowledge and reconfigures itself into a cube.

Krypto attacks the cube and it warps Clark, Jon, Krypto, and itself to Dinosaur Island. It is a place outside of time where they find countless extinct species and Captain Storm, a Golden Age war comic character from Our Fighting Forces that ran from 1954-1978.

They spend the next issue finding the cube so they can return home. Captain Storm sacrifices himself so the Kryptonians get home safely.

Superman Reborn

Mr. Mxyzptlk warps reality around the Kent family causing the timelines of Post-Crisis Superman and The New 52 Superman to merge into one.

The next few issues of Action Comics would explain how this all works and moves Jon Kent’s birth to Earth-0, but later in Infinite Frontier #0 The Spectre, God’s Hand of Vengence, would reinforce Jon’s original origins from the Convergence Earth and hint that this teen may become like a tyrant.

Special #1

The final issue of the run sees Clark use the cube to open another portal to Dinosuar Island to rescue Captain Storm.

They assume the cube itself came from Manchester Black as he had technology that was controlling the beasts of the island and on monsters he used to attack Hamilton County.

Adventures of the Super Sons

In the final two issues, Jon and Damian are trapped inside the cube by the main villain of the series, Rex Luthor. Inside is a white void, not dissimilar to how The Source has been protrayed. The Source is more or less DC’s in-universe mythos of the paper its stories are printed upon. Earth 2 Society and Dark Crisis Young Justice are some examples of The Source being manipulated.

The Hypercube itself manifests in the place and explains to Jon and Damian that it has existed in one form or another since the dawn of time in the DC Universe. Finally unable to stand being used as a prop for someone else’s story, it began to move and create under its own command.

Cube admits it created the galaxy the villains of the series came from, and it seems to imply it has knowledge of all things that have happened and will happen as well as that they are in a comic book but spares the boys of that burden.

Cube takes The Puppeteer, a villain killed earlier in the series, and brings him into itself with Jon and Damian alive as if nothing had happened to him. The boys use his technology to break out of the cube. It seems the only limitation to Cube’s phenomenal cosmic power is his box-shaped lamp.

The Flash #797

Apparently, moments after defeating Rex Luthor, Jon and Damian find themselves in the future on another Earth to help Jai and Irie West and Maxine Baker beat some multiversal baddies.

I assume Cube was attempting to save the boys from the events of Teen Titans 2018, Superman 2018, and beyond into what was going to be 5G by skipping them past it. The boys return to their proper time, however.

Action Comics #1054

In chapter 4 of "Lois & Clark 2," Jon is badly burnt by a flame. This story takes place between the handoff from Jurgens, Tomasi and Gleason to Bendis in Superman and Action Comics. This is somewhat of a discrepancy if this Jon is intended to be the same Jon who survives in a volcano for 5 whole years.

Injustice #1

The Joker nukes Metropolis killing Lois Lane and her unborn child.

Cube takes this child from the currently unknown Earth-49 and recreates the abandoned Superman: Reborn composite timeline for this version of Jon and Lois to live and grow.

The Man of Steel 2018

Jor-El picks up Jon and Lois for a little space road trip.

Superman 2018

Everything Jon explains to his father about his experience happened to him, however the Jon that returned to Earth-0 is truly the Jon from Earth-49 the alternate timeline from "Superman Reborn" with most of the memories of Earth-0 Rebirth Jon in place including those up to Cube’s wormhole the black hole. The amount of time Jon was out with Jor-El as described by in Superman #8 is now a completely useless measurement of time. Jon and Jor-El may truly have only been in space for three weeks by the Earth-0 clock before encountering the wormhole.

Jor-El tracked the only Jon Kent in the known multiverse through time and space to Earth-3 in the universe and hypertime he now found himself where Cube placed him five years in the past. Earth-0 Jon would fall through Cube’s time and space wormhole to a world that was currently uncharted but known to exist, Earth-49 the world of Injustice.

Having scanned all possible futures, Cube opens a portal for Rebirth Jon to escape through. This is why Jor-El thinks that Jon ran from him before they fell through the black hole. A version of him did, just not the one he ended up with.

Superman: Son of Kal-El

Jon is shown on a world that does not conform with the reader’s knowledge of past events in multiple flashbacks. His birth in the Fortress of Solitude is similar to the events in Action Comics #978 but not the same. Dick is wearing his New 52 outfit at a time when he should be presumed dead and acting as a secret agent or back in blue. Jon claims he was able to fly at age 9 when the bare minimum amount of reading comprehension would tell you he couldn’t fly until he was 10. Jon remembers his grandparents farm house after its destruction in a way the audience has never seen before. Not only were his grandparents not alive when that book was published, but these panels are reminiscent of the New 52 Superboy’s origin story.

Pa Kent would later describe the events of Superman 2016 #1. This is notable because it seems to again reinforce that this world was not changed during Superman Reborn and that Jonathan Samuel Kent was not the one to reiterate these events.

Superman & Robin Special

As Jon and Damian remind the reader of Superman 2016 #8&9 and Adventures of the Super Sons, Cube demonstrates its power once again by opening a door through space for an alien that ages years in minutes and through time for a platoon of Nazi soldiers.

This serves a double purpose to show the reader what is in store for these two. Damian is no longer destined to become like Hitler. Teen Jon will find his double and return with him to where they came from. Teen Jon has a younger double lost out there somewhere.

Adventures of Superman Jon Kent

Jon states it is easy for him to see when someone is from another universe by looking closely at their molecules.

Val-Zod states that time moves at a constant rate. Jumping from one multiverse to another alone would not throw the traveler through time as well. More importantly, Val-Zod then states that in the whole multiverse, there are many Jon Kents that are children and only two that are old enough to be able to assist with their mission.

Ultraman recognizes Jon confirming the volcano imprisonment did happen.

Injustice Clark makes a double-take at Jon and claims he has his mother’s eyes, implying that this Jon is his own biological son.

This mini should see the Earth-0 Jon perhaps around age 12 at most appear on this Earth.

In the final issue of the mini, Jon states that he has practiced sneaking up on Damian for years while holding the Lasso of Truth, yet for this would be a stretch to be fact. Jon met Damian at 10 and left Earth at 11 making their friendship truthfully less than a year in length before Jon became much older.

Honestly, I'm going to miss Greene and the gremlin's "relationship" if you could even call it that. They didn't seem to care a whole lot about each other but that's kinda what I liked about it. I liked Greene having more capable henchmen (in his eyes) working for him. Sure they goof off and annoy him on occasion, but I imagine the gremlins were like the ideal evil minions to him. I liked him being a super serious and intimidating bad guy, while all the gremlins around him just gave off "annoying little kids in the back seat of the car, excited to be going on a road trip" energy. I'm gonna miss that dynamic. 😂

I hope that Noggin and his spawn stumble upon another baddie like Greene. I like the gremlins playing the role of evil henchmen under somebody, and maybe NOT getting betrayed this time and actually meeting someone who cares for them a LITTLE bit.

continued from here:

It's a running joke that most everyone in the Hideaway is busy doing something for Mid. Even Blackthorne, who ordinarily wouldn't be keen to do a project outside of his usual work, relents to Mid easily. It's not just because everyone loved Cid -- Mid, in all her genius and infectious enthusiasm, has a knack for rallying everyone together. It's a stroke of luck that there's someone around who has the desire and the knowledge to make a full fucking fledged ship.

Gav can't even fathom all the technical crap that goes into it, so he's content to leave the heavy thinking to Mid while he offers (albeit with some grumbling) to do the heavy lifting.

A trip to Kanver, though, is easy enough. But her offer to accompany Gav surprises him. "Come with me to Kanver? Y'know there's all sorts of beasts and baddies on the road, right?" Even if they dodge the akashic (which he feels reasonably sure he can manage), Mid would still be in danger unless she could defend herself.

Gav places his hands on his hips, his head tilting in skepticism. "D'ya actually know how to fight? I might be able to cover both of us for a while but if push comes to shove, we might be fucked," he cautions. "Wouldn't mind having some company, as long as I know we'll both come back in one piece."

#if only he knew she thinks he's a “scout - not an actual warrior” omg #he'd be like “excuse you i can handle myself in a fight !!”#“i'm no clive but who is?”#sensitive bean #also i hope this is ok omg this is my first try at gav so *fingers crossed*#ofengineers

Taking a road trip to the Roller Coaster Capital of the World last summer naturally got me thinking about whether or not the Links would enjoy these modern mechanical feats of ingenuity. Enjoy these long overdue LU Links + Roller Coaster Headcanons! 🎢

~ ~ ~

Wind - learning to love them. Adopted as Wild's unofficial riding partner, which makes Wind feel like a Kewl Kid™. Secretly apprehensive of going upside down for the first time, but puts on a brave face and rides anyways. Proceeds to shout about how "totally gnarly" the ride was afterwards, where everyone in his vicinity must suffer through a play-by-play of his entire ride experience. Will invariably (and illicitly) reach into the water to give you an extra splash on water rides, so watch out.

Sky - loves them. The fast launch coasters remind him of flying, and he loves that wind-whipping-through-your-hair sensation that nothing but loftwing flight can replicate. Rides with his hands in the air the entire time, which Wind tries to copy but only with partial success. Screams to his heart’s content, so expect to get an earful if you sit next to him. He and Zelda would absolutely be one of those disgustingly cute couples that lather on the PDA while waiting in line, where Legend pulls faces in the background.

Wild - lives for them. The more inversions, the better. (Think AT's ‘The Smiler,’ or ‘X2’ at Magic Mountain.) What you would call a proper “thoosie.” Enjoys terrorizing the others in the queue before boarding. (Wild: “You know people have fallen to their deaths on this, right?” Wind: “Wait, really? Do you think we’ll be okay??😨” Twi: “No they haven’t, can it Wild.”) Complains about trim brakes and stapling every time without fail. Excessively entertained by the ride photos, esp Twilight’s faces in them. Knows where all the cameras are and poses in the most ridiculous ways you can imagine.

Warrior - likes them in moderation. Will go on the high intensity rides but starts to feel woozy after too many, so don’t ask him to marathon them. Spends ten minutes fixing his hair after each ride, in which he's often left behind. Jokes about holding a worried Legend’s hand to convince him onto the big rides, which predictably triggers threats and a shouting match. (Nobody comments when Legend still chooses to sit next to him, though.) Enjoys mocking everyone’s pics at the ride exits, including his own.

Hyrule - loves them, especially the chaotic spinning rides. Likely to get sick after repeated runs, but always forgets and rides them anyway. (Just don’t feed him right before he rides, lol.) Probably the loudest screamer next to Sky. Enjoys the big coasters but is just as enthralled by the carnival games, skyrail, and bumper cars. Enjoys a quick stop at the petting zoo as much as any roller coaster. He's the quintessential friend to take to a theme park because he's down for anything and everything.

Time - used to enjoy them more, but now prefers the mellow rides. Jokes it’s because of his changing biochemistry as he ages. Partial to classic Disney-style family rides, esp the ones where he can sit passively and observe the corny scares and funny animatronics (or, better yet, a lazy boat cruise whiling the time away with Malon). Will ride the big baddies if pressured, though he’ll make sure to groan about it. Classic wooden roller coasters give him a headache. Remains straight-faced on all the rides so he looks utterly bored in all the photos, much to Wild’s chagrin and Twilight’s disbelief.

Legend - the most wary when it comes to roller coasters. Finds it hard to place his life in the trust of something he has no control over. Plays it off as nbd to save face, but privately he’s nervous. The only one who can really convince him to ride is Hyrule, maybe Warrior if Legend feels he has something to prove. Insists on being in the middle seat whenever possible. Keeps his eyes closed the entire time. Point blank refuses drop towers or anything that’s too tall. Carnival games remind him of her and he avoids those as well, claiming they’re all a big scam.

Twilight - mostly indifferent but tolerates them. Claims that a quick ride on Epona is more liberating than any roller coaster could be, and it's all he needs in life (commence eye-rolling from Wild). Feels more concerned over securing the loose articles in his pockets than over the coasters themselves. (Wild, after the ride ends: “Uh-oh, Twi, your shadow crystal’s missing!” Twi: “What?!” Wild: “Haha sike, it’s right here.” Twi: 😑) Enjoys browsing through the western-themed shops in the ghost town section of the park. Will go on the rides to appease Wild, but regrets it almost every time after the relentless teasing at the photo booths.

Four - doesn’t really care for them. It doesn’t help that he’s too short for the extreme rides anyways. May or may not have stuffed his shoes before to reach the height limit. More fascinated by the operating tech than the actual ride experience itself. Not above riding the kiddie attractions, where he goads Time, Twilight, or Legend to join him. Is an outright menace at go-karts and bumper cars. Loves cotton candy and insists upon getting some whenever they go.

Some Non-Rocket Stuff I've Been Working On

Some miscellaneous villains that can bother the heroes whenever Egg Head's gone rotten.

Princess Abby is, probably most obviously, our equivalent of Princess Sally from the Archie Sonic comics. Unlike Sally, though, Abby is less of a love interest and more of an embittered ex of Zip's that undertakes the occasional passive-aggressive, teetering between evil and not-evil scheme in order to get revenge on or otherwise just mess with the Pooch. Posie considers Abby her biggest rival.... and 2nd biggest crush.

Fake Zip is this world's Metal Sonic. Egg Head being more of a bio-engineer than a roboticist, she's not exactly building robot clones every day. Normal clones work fine. Fake Zip is the main antagonist of Zip the Pooch 2: Cease Deceit, and comes back again and again in increasingly esoteric forms and roles. Egg Head's longest and most loyal minion, he's one of the most dangerous Pooches around if you don't count the other 5.

Exotor is the living planet(?) (meteor? Asteroid?) that Dr. Egg Head creates in Zip the Pooch 1, but after his defeat at the hands of Zip, she kind of abandoned it as space junk. But he comes back for revenge, at first trying to crash into Planet Zip, and then spawning a more mobile copy of its consciousness into this alien body that can keep up with Zip and fight toe-to-weird-toe-like-tentacle. The secret final boss of Zip the Fighters, like what Akuma is to Street Fighter 2. Exotor is a combination of the Death Egg and Sonic.Exe, with a bit of Ego and Deoxys thrown in for good measure. Probably one of my favorite remakes of a character from the main series!

But that's not all!

My first set of characters in the Zip-verse that are NOT alternate universe clones of characters from Sonic! The Sonic series has been sorely missing out on some spooky-themed characters for far too long, and I'm not making the same mistake, so meet team Horror Show!

Ludlow is a zombie dog and the leader of the team. Some kind of a magic undertaker, he goes against both Zip and his friends AND the Egg Head Empire, much more of a loose canon in the world. It's unknown what his real final goals are, since I made him in the middle of a road trip and didn't consider that he needed goals until typing this sentence, but the gang won't let him send the land into spooky scary chaos any time soon.

Joining him are other scary characters, BooBoo the Witch, Vendetta the Spider, and Goops the Candy Snake, representing the occult, the horror, and the fun parts of the Halloween season respectively. They might be sowing chaos on Planet Zip, but they're intensely loyal to each other, so don't cross them!

Once I have reliable internet at my new place, I hope to be making a lot more content on here, so stay tuned! My current goals are to get the other teams in my head out as designs (mainly ones based on the classic-era baddies and the IDW Diamond Cutters) and to try my hand at making some landscapes of the various zones I came up with for this setting. All 8 zones of Zip the Pooch 1 are safe in my noggin, and I might try to draw a few silly comics based on the plot of it.

I'm not exactly a professional-grade artist or anything, but this project is fun, so I don't plan on stopping anytime soon, so I'll see you soon! I know I have a few people looking around here because of the sonic OC polls, and I hope some of you stick around for more! ^-^

Yoyo! Could I get something with Cyrus and him having an obvious crush on a very elegant and dexterous party member! It's sad how little fics there are for my boy!

I have more Cyrus in my drafts, so be keep a lookout for when he graces my blog once more!

~ Poet

Crushing on the Reader

Cyrus

Cyrus first saw you when you were seated beside his brother in the theatre in Jrusar. You had a confident air about you that screamed the elegance and finery that he's so desperately attracted to and misses dearly from life before he started adventuring.

When Dorian finally introduced him to Bell's Hells, Cyrus greeted and nodded in respect to the others, apologising again and again for being an idiot and complicating things.

But the moment you offered him your name and held out your hand, he swiped it up and pressed an obnoxiously long kiss to the back of it.

He immediately regretted the gesture, face and ears tinged with a purple blush, mindful of Dorian's facepalm and his friends' sour looks, but you simply laughed and waved his worries away.

When the party came across him at the ball, he was standing at the edge of the dance floor on his tippy toes and trying to catch a glance of you in the crowd in your fancy attire. He never got the chance to chase after you and ask for a dance but whatcanyoudo there were baddies to fight, you were a bit preoccupied

You volunteered to leave Marquet with the two brothers and help reunite Dorian with the Crown Keepers - gods know how much the Wyvernwinds need someone to stop their bickering.

Cyrus spent the entire trip trying to impress and get to know the object of his newfound affections, pestering his brother for info about you - if you were single, what's your tragic but deep backstory, if you have a thing for royalty, if your favourite colour is blue etc etc.

He's stuck to your side like glue when you guys make contact with Dariax, Opal and Fy'ra Rai. They don't like him and think he's trouble (a theme he's getting used to), but you actually tolerate and make an effort to include him.

You impress the heir again and again with your skills and ease in stressful situations. You have the charm of a noble, nimble fingers to swipe important objects without being seen, you can open pretty much any lock by barely touching it, and can dodge an arrow as if it was nothing.

Oohs and ahhs and heart eyes galore, cheering you on at the sideline and scowling whenever someone calls him out on it.

Dorian continuously wants to curl up into a ball and have the ground swallow him whole bc his older brother is embarrassing himself in front of you and his other friends.

He's grateful that you can get through to his sibling though - Cyrus is not as an experienced traveler or warrior or mage as everyone else, so under your guidance hopefully he will get more accustomed to life on the road and the people you come across.

Dorian still gets grossed out when Cyrus clumsily flirts with you tho. Baby brother energy, y'know~
