I love Infinity Train, and i think it would be a very cool crossover if Robotnik was sent to the infinity train instead of mushroom planet. Agent Stone materializes as his faithful companion guiding him through the train.
This is getting ridiculous now, I am not happy and am getting tired of News Like this, if you feel the Same, you know what to do, spread this around as much as you can, Spread. The. Word.
#NewDeal4Animation, i don’t know if this is still a thing anymore.
Here’s a slightly old screenshot redraw that I struggled with cuz these character are a bit difficult for me to draw. I still plan on drawing more Archer fanart though since this show is criminally underrated. Like how does such a successful series have almost no fandom? I can hardly find any fanart, or fics, or edits, or anything anywhere. Where are y’all??? If you like this show I’m begging you to interact. I need moots in this fandom if any still exist 😭😭😭
★ THE MARK SIDE follows the life of MARK REED— an unconventional and flawed protagonist navigating a drama-filled life while pushing everyone to their limits in the meantime!
Filled with angst, complex relationship dynamics, LGBT characters, and comedy! A story with a deeper meaning than you'd think!
Throughout the show, I aim to tackle a lot of serious issues like mental health and abuse with morally grey characters.

Show premise:
The Mark Side centers around titular character Mark's strained relationship with his childhood best friend Benjamin, who due to years of communication issues now absolutely despises him. Mark however, seems blind to the obvious deterioration their relationship has had, as he harbors major unrequited romantic feelings towards him.
Mirroring the two are Jonathon and Kenny, the other half of the friend group who through their years of knowing each other have communicated and helped each other through hardships, presenting as a strong, healthy couple today because of it.
After a summer of not being on speaking terms, Mark manages to wiggle his way back into the friend group again only to find a new guy has 'replaced him'— Ash, Benjamin's new boyfriend.
It takes place in the fictional town of Ohwell, Texas in the late 2010's!
Season 1 will showcase the arc of Mark struggling to maintain his place in the friend group despite his jealousy whilst also dealing with a plethora of emotional and complex family issues.
The main takeaway theme is that most scenarios are less black and white than one may assume at first glance, showcased by the characters being the antagonists of themselves instead of portraying one character as the villain.
All while maintaining a good balance of humor through an expressive and cartoony style! Humor and style draws lots of inspiration from 2000's Cartoon Network and Disney XD shows!
