Whisper was very worried x) Here she met Smithy for the first time. (But Smithy, in turn, had already found out about her and even seen her, thanks to Slinger). Plans changed and Whisper left the Resistance earlier than expected. Gadget and Slinger (with whom she is on good terms) hurried to help her.

Question for Tangle:
If you had to guess what kind of/how many injuries you sustained before going super, what would you guess?
And then Lanolin, what’s the real answer?
“Mmm… from what I remember, I had some burn marks on my stomach causing a hole in my tracksuit, and my left ankle was twisted,” Tangle said. “But that’s really it.”
“Oh, it was a LOT more than that,” Lanolin told her. “You had blood pouring down your head, and there were multiple cuts on your arms and legs. Looking back, a finger may have been broken, too.”
Tangle put her hands over her mouth. “Seriously?! How was I able to move?!”
“I’m not sure,” Lanolin answered, crossing her arms. “Guess that shows you’ve got the most endurance out of the Neos.”
“Was that a compliment?”
“…possibly.”

DIAMOND CUTTERS/CRACKED DIAMOND AU HEADCANONS PART 1: SLINGER (AND SLANGLE)
Tumblr media
JUMPSCARE! YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET A CRAP TON OF HEADCANONS FOR THE DIAMOND CUTTERS AND MY SILLY CLUSTER OF AUS ABOUT THEM! RAREPAIR AND OBSCURE CHARACTER ENJOYERS, GET YOUR FOOD!
First up, the flirty gender pilled ocelot with the gay little gun tricks!
Slinger Headcanons:
they're genderfluid and transfem (partly because I thought she was a girl when Mimic first shapeshifted into her.) This also means shipping them with Tangle is still yuri (important.) I dub her they/she + "gun" as a neopronoun for fun. Also let her wear whatever clothes they want.
She's also Mexican/Central American! Very clear accent, occasionally splices Spanish words into their dialogue, much like Tangle’s now-agreed-upon Italian. Says “Vamos!”, “Dios mio!” and “Que?” a lot. Also insults Badniks and other opponents in Spanish.
Pansexual apocalypse, easily INTENSELY flustered, they had a stupid celebrity crush on Sonic before the betrayal/actually meeting anyone. (Old idea I’m keeping alive, heck, maybe have another sub-AU for that.) Then in her “survivor” timeline, she finally meets Tangle and the epic 100k idiots to lovers slowburn yuri is real.
They’re EXTREME ADHD. She juggles, she keeps at least two fidget spinners on hand always, she needs to toss and twirl things or he’ll explode. She and Whisper and Tangle stim together a lot.
Backstory! The “mysterious past” reference doesn’t exist if I don’t look at it, so she and Claire were actually sibling-dynamic friends as far back as Slinger can remember, having grown up together in a jungle treehouse village. (Definitely didn’t come up with that just because ocelots and howler monkeys live in the same place, haha.) Things happened in the Forces war, next thing you know they both met Smithy (and soon after Whisper) and were inducted into the mercenary found family.
THEY’RE A CAT. Younger than Big and wayyyy more impulsive than Blaze, they do MANY MANY CAT THINGS. They have whiskers, they’re a liquid, they lick themself clean, they act like it’s daytime when it’s pitch black out, they miiiiiight have eaten a couple of mice, they purr when rubbed, all of it. This is also how you tell her apart from Duo, who is a fake cat and clueless to cat behavior.
Slinger, past and present, is still super cool and suave in battle, but a complete and utter LOSER in casual times, more than Claire, more than Whisper, they're such a fucking girlfail
They were definitely the “kid” of the team, moreso even than Whisper. They pulled pranks, did stupid stunts, and worried Claire and Smithy sick. In the timeline where they survived, they were VERY okay on their own! So utterly okay!
AU-Specific Headcanons:
Tumblr media
They were never “shut-in” as the Guardian Angel - they still tried their best to act cool and suave, in spite of the anxiety below. They completely hid their appearance beneath masks and hoods, but still taunted and quipped at their adversaries and would sometimes talk rather openly to Resistance members lucky enough to interact with them long enough, though still never giving any context to who she was or what her deal was - or a clear view of his real face.
She wouldn’t use the same Wispon as canon Whisper - a gigantic rifle just isn’t their style. Instead, she’s gotten a lot better at physical combat to compensate for it - she managed to teach herself to Spin Attack, and can even do a crazy "Panjandrum" move where they fire their laser guns wildly while rolling. They’re decently fast now, but not as fast as any “speedster” character - think more like Amy, Tails, or heck, a realistic interpretation of the Forces Avatar.
They talk to their Wisps a lot. She constantly feels alone and doesn't want to be, and forever thanks Smithy for giving them a way to always talk to their companions somehow. She needs people to talk to, she really does, heck, give her a bit of a Yakko Warner complex if you want. Fortunately, Tangle logically helps with that a lot.
They FIRMLY saw Mimic as a father figure, and are FUCKING PISSED at him for stabbing and discarding everything they had. Him fucking around IMMEDIATELY cuts off Slinger's silly goofy mode and activates IMMA FIRIN MA LAZAH mode.
In Slinger’s timeline, Mimic’s Duo disguise was the feminine-androgynous “Duo the Hound,” using Whisper as the basis. Slinger got to pistol-whip him repeatedly and then dump him into the sea, don’t worry.
Tumblr media
Tangle in this timeline is… girl-leaning panromantic. Blaze cemented her queer awakening, but Slinger, whose gender is fucked as hell, is the one she fell for hard. Slinger would get VERY worried about whether she feels the same towards them or not, but it doesn't matter what's in their legs or their head to Tangle - they're Slinger.
Slinger’s love language turns out to be the same as Tangle’s - doing stupid and dangerous things to impress her crushes. Ultimately Jewel and Lanolin have to LOUDLY tell them that they’re in love with each other and should kiss and go out on a date before they both get themselves killed beating around the bush. (That, or they just full-on kiss at the conclusion of Urban Warfare or even the Metal Virus, considering Slinger is much more open.)
Slinger is just as willing and encouraging to talk to Tangle about her fears as vice versa, in a direct manner at least. It is not “moon gets hurt and sun comforts her,” they’re kinda both cloud-obscured suns who goof off but also traumadump to each other.
Slinger can cook and prepare Mexican cuisine just fine. Them trying to cook anything else results in a kitchen-sized laser explosion (don't even ask how.) Their food living together basically amounts to alternating Mexican and Italian with Tangle occasionally baking something she found online in between.
Tangle comforts or supports Slinger whenever they have gender issues, she figured out they were genderfluid basically the moment they got the chance to try new clothes. Slinger silently, awkwardly asked her if she could try on a really twirly dress and she was just so understanding and said they looked absolutely beautiful and AGHHHHHHHHHHHH and now it’s their girly comfort outfit.
tangle is significantly taller than slinger. height difference. (slinger is significantly taller than sonic though lol, big tangle supremacy)
Slinger and Tangle cuddle super tight and warm and fall asleep together BOTH PURRING do you get my vision
Big headcanon posts for the other Cutters and their sub-AUs coming at some point.

Only child
Mazurian jewelry maker (formerly)
Member of Captain Shadow’s crew (currently)
Whisper grew up in a Mazurian village with a pretty happy childhood. In her teenage years, she met the other members of what would become the Diamond Cutters, a small jewelry making company. This included Mimic the Octopus, Claire Voyance, Slinger the Ocelot, and Smithy the Lion. Things were going well, but what no one knew was Mimic had been stealing their materials from other businesses and not telling them, resulting in them selling illegal materials. Mimic sold them out and framed them, resulting in all of them except for him and Whisper being hanged. Whisper struggled to make attachments to people after that, and she still does. She followed Mimic to South Island, seeking revenge for her friends at first until he was sent to work on Shadow’s ship. Then it became a matter of protecting others from him. She very rarely slept, as she never trusted Mimic. However, as time went on, and she bonded with Tangle and Amy, developing a romantic relationship with the former, she relaxed. Not completely, and she still didn’t bond with very many people at all, but she could at least fall asleep at night.

Are the other members of the Neo Diamond Cutters going to get masks? It was part of the uniform for the old team.
I don't plan on giving the others masks for a few reasons.
The mask's wisp translator is one of a kind and the knowledge behind it died with Smithy. Tails or even Kit could likely reverse engineer and replicate it but I don't think Whisper (at least in my AU) would risk even the most miniscule chance of them accidentally breaking it and thus losing the way to communicate with the only family she has left.
Whisper has a lot of time fighting without proper peripheral vision and is very used to it. Don't think Lanolin would be alright with Tangle and her losing that for a few tech upgrades and aesthetics
I frankly don't wanna keep track of whether they're wearing masks during a scene or not.

Silly little " What if " :
What if whatever Mimic’s canon plan to do with the Restoration Diomond Cutters somehow goes wrong and now he's unofficially in charge of keeping the 3 Sapphic teenagers alive until they can obtain their footing as a team.
