ooooooo
Yandere Sonic deeply in love with a reader that attempted suicide before knowing him?
Yandere Sonic the Hedgehog with Darling that has attempted to commit suicide before meeting him
I’m sorry from making you wait a long time for this one anon, but I did want to write some more SFW requests before posting this one, anyways, here you go!
CW: mentions of suicide and kidnapping, read at your own discretion
The only way he’s ever going to find out about this is if you explicitly tell him. Whether it’s platonic or romantic, you two must be really close if you’re willing to talk to him about such a touchy subject. Once you decide to tell him about it though, he’ll stay awfully quiet for a minute, and then proceed to hug you. You two will stay like that for a long while, and while in most cases this would be nothing short of torture for the blue blur that’s always seeking the thrill of adventure, he’s willing to just stay there with you in this painful silence. He can’t do anything to change the past, but the least he could do is give you a shoulder to cry on.
After that, not much changes about him, he’s the same Sonic the Hedgehog you’ve known all this time. Yet, you can’t help but notice how…adamant he is at making you laugh, how cheerful he tries to be around you, and how he awkwardly changes the topic of whatever conversation you two were having when it starts getting slightly dark. You appreciate him going out of his way to keep you happy, but at the same time you’re concerned that perhaps he’s pushing his own feeling aside for your sake, and that just doesn’t sit well with you. If you try to confront him about it though, he’ll just shrug it off with a smile and tell you to not worry.
If he ever sees you feeling down, or heaven forbid, crying, well, good luck getting him off of you. He won’t leave you alone until he’s 100% sure you’re ok, and even then, he’s still frequently checking up on you. On one hand, he’s so reassuring and caring when you’re just having a terrible day, and you want nothing than for him to stay by your side. However, this also makes him quite overwhelming to deal with when it’s just a minor problem you had that day. It doesn’t matter how much you try to explain that you’re fine, he’s stubborn as a mule and he’s not going to budge any time soon
And sure enough, this will only get worse once he forces you to live with him. Having your freedom taken away by someone you trusted won’t be the best for your mental health, and Sonic does feel guilty about it, but it’s fine, you can count on him to keep you safe an happy, you have absolutely nothing to fear. You can just tell him about how you feel, he’ll do anything he can to make you feel better. He’ll go about the rest of your days trying to make everything seems as normal as possible, he might even become more lenient about letting you outside…as long as he’s always there with you.
In the very unfortunate scenario where you choose to try to take your own life again…well, he’s not going to like that, at all. This would be the time where you see him at his worst. After making sure you’re safe, he’ll proceed to secure the entire house so that you’re not capable of killing yourself. He tries his best to comfort you and make you smile, yet you’re not blind, it’s blatantly obvious how shaken he was by what happened. He’s terrified of losing you, especially to yourself, and if he has to take away what little freedom he allowed you to keep so you’ll be safe, he will.

time for me to be obnoxious about an april fool's game at almost may wahoo ft. an unexpected moment of character analysis because i have no chill
Tumblr media
TRAIN.
Tumblr media
i hope this game is canon because rouge doing petty pickpocketing is my favorite thing actually
Tumblr media
he has a wallet? and a home?
Tumblr media
i could go on about how much i love these kids being unhinged and chaotic but unless i want to reblog this post a million times i have to cut it down. let it be known that i adore the kids and their antics tho
Tumblr media
you know what i also adore? blaze committing crimes in the chaos dimension because she can get away with it. i think i need more of that in my life actually
Tumblr media
although right after he says he doesn't wanna do more crimes i'd like to think he grows out of that opinion eventually. let the little guy steal stuff i want him to hang with rouge and have her make him worse actually
Tumblr media
look here shadow's had it rough in the writing department for a while but i very much appreciated this plot point of him going out of his way to get concert tickets for amy and even (reluctantly) agreeing to go with her to said concert even if it isn't his cup of tea. i know it's more presented as him trying to y'know be polite and considerate and he's going about it in an edgy way but i'd like to think it's just his way of presenting things if you will? like he know what amy's favorite band is and sees how hard the tickets are to get so he goes out of his way to get them because he cares about his friend and knows how much attending a concert like that would mean to amy. and in terms of this screenshot in particular i also appreciate amy appreciating her friends' presence at her party even if they hadn't gotten her anything! sure it does kinda come across as her being bummed about not getting gifts from them and maybe she is but i think that's okay? like she's 12 (or 13 now i guess?) getting excited about presents is pretty normal, and it's not like she's super upset about it anyway. i think she genuinely appreciates her friends attending her party more than anything
Tumblr media
i also found this a lovely little detail lol and it does kinda make sense! the bitch has been in stasis for 50 years and computer technology has taken leaps in that time, of course he'd be a lil rustier with them compared to his peers
Tumblr media
more on shadow, this guy's brain goes overdrive the second he realizes he fucked up and needs to get something nice for his friend now. like i don't have the brain power to form it into words atm but i just love what this all says about him as a character!!
Tumblr media
i could flail about the art in this game the whole evening honestly it's so lovely and colorful and pretty and i love how this scene is composed and shadow being seated on the windowsill idk this just put a big smile on my face when i saw it :)
Tumblr media
frankly obsessed with amy's unhinged energy can we please get more of this bc i live for it
Tumblr media
the fucking blowdart. i cannot tell you how fucking off the walls these teens are like espio's instructed to use a blowdart on sonic with non-lethal poison and he's like yeah that checks out and sonic's just like wow cool guess i'll snooze for a bit then like this shit is exactly why teenagers should be given superpowers and be put into Situations(TM) i love it
Tumblr media
not an april fools game making me emotional over trains
Tumblr media
and why yes i am obsessed obviously
it was a fun game! like tbh with a bit more content i would've been happy to pay a bit for this honestly (like. when im not broke lmao) like it's so charming and there were a lot of fun details and the jokes were enjoyable too. i just think it's neat :)
but yea that is all im glad sonic the hedgehog got murdered it was a great time

Wait that was KENTA??
Tumblr media
Summary: Kenta makes progress in feeling comfortable around x-hunter. Very heavy on Alan being a supportive and perfect. (Its rush pls don't judge to harsh I beg)
3rd pov
After everything that had happened X-Hunter and friends more or less taken Kenta in. While he had contributed to the terrible things Tony was doing it was pretty clear that he never actually wanted to and at the end of the day he was a good person forced to do bad things.
Kenta was appreciative of the fact that they were so keen to have him around but that didn't mean he didn't struggle to be comfortable. He couldn't bring himself to do or ask for anything if it could potentially even slightly inconvenience someone.
He didn't doubt that they were happy to do things for him or even just be there for him but he had never been allowed to want and asking Tony for something usually had its consequences. He felt as if he still wasn't allowed to ask for anything not that he would even know how.
He also didn't feel right joining in on the way they all teased each other. The playful jabs that would be met with a light hearted sarcastic comment. What if they took him as actually being mean? What if he just wasn't allowed? He just couldn't risk losing what he had with them.
Fortunately he had a new family that was very stubborn.
Kenta pov
"North and Sonic are gonna go to the store tomorrow to stock up the pantry at the garage is there anything you want them to grab for you?" Alan asked me. I've been working there doing paperwork since everything calmed down and I really enjoy how kind everyone is here.
"No it's okay I don't need anything," I tell him. This is true while I do have snacks and drinks I like I don't actually need any of them. I know that's not the answer he wants but that's all I can bring myself to give for now.
"Kenta that's not what I asked and I know that it's hard for you to ask for things and I also know that one conversation is not going to fix that but I promise you that we all want to be there for you. We want you to join in on the jokes. If we didn't we would not have welcomed you here so for the love of god please just tell me what to add to the list for you," Alan lectured. I noticed he was like that, always making sure everyone knew they were cared for. He was genuinely the kindest person I've ever met. Not that it was much of a competition.
"Uhm... I really don't know, maybe just some sports drinks," I was so caught off guard by how blunt he was being. Even though I did believe him I still couldn't breathe as I scrambled for something to request.
"Okay good, you can text me or one of them if you want a particular brand or flavor or if you think of anything else."
I nod before he turns to walk out the door probably to keep asking around.
"And Kenta, I'm proud of you for asking I'm sure that took a lot but that is what we are all here for. We are family here and we really hope that you will see us as such when you are ready," Alan said and slips out of the room with a smile.
Oh-
*1 year later*
Alan pov
It's been a slow day at the garage which to most people would mean calm. People idly doing their work at a comfortable pace in no rush to get a million things done. Not at X-Hunter though, not for me.
Slow day means that means that everyone is running around and being loud. Not for work but just enjoying themselves as they work. I absolutely love these days just my boys without weight on their shoulders just free to have wreckless fun.
Unfortunately today I got to be the central target for any teasing and wrestling. I would absolutely never tell any of them but I kind of enjoy it, they would never let it go.
I had spaced out watching them chase each other around when I suddenly have someone lunge on my back to start wrestling. Of course it was North ever the problem child.
"Why must you do this to me while I was minding my own business," I ask him more of a rhetorical tease than an actual question.
"Because it's fun duh," North retorts as he tries to put me in a headlock.
"Careful old people's bodies are sensitive you don't want him to throw his back out do you," a voice behind me speaks casually.
"Hey I'm not that o-" I start as I turn around. Wait was that Kenta?? He didn't even look up and just continued filling out paperwork but he had a noticeable smile on his face.
The entire garage was quiet from shock. Everyone had turned around to check that they heard it right too. If it wasn't for the smiles across everyone's face they might be mistaken for being upset.
"HOLY SHIT KENTA IM SO PROUD!!"  North shouts as he runs to hug Kenta. Me too.

ok wachowski family angst idea
so we know sonic has been with tom and maddie the longest and has spent more time with Tom especially, so he seems like toms favourite
and at the end of the second film maddie says something like “I like sonics new friends, especially the red one” so it seems like knuckles is her favourite
what about tails feeling a bit left out because he thinks his parents like knuckles and sonic better? Sorry if this is worded weirdly I’ve had the idea for a while 😭
Absolutely heartbreaking idea. Let’s do it.
After writing: I got sidetracked. This has become Tails’ origin story. Ended up back on track tho!
(CW: Tails is depressed, mentions of Child Abandonment, mentions of verbal Child abuse, abusive dad mention, mention of parental death.)
How Tails Came To Be
Tails grew up unloved. Everything was a reminder that nobody would ever love someone like him. He's different, and different is bad. His parents threw him away and his caretakers only ever gave him bare minimum, making sure he was fed, clothed, and bathed. He never knew a happy healthy home.
Tails proved them wrong. He found people who loved him for who he is. But sometimes.. those demons come back swinging. He's never felt peace on the inside. There's always been a dark raincloud filling his mind. He always feels a sense of doubt about himself and others.
So whenever he sees Sonic or Knuckles getting more attention than usual, he feels left out. He knows they love him, but his stupid head keeps telling him otherwise. He's never been "good" at communication anyways. He was never taught.
He knows in his heart there's no favourites, but sometimes it feels that way. Tom and Sonic are always hanging out together, and Maddie is always doing yoga with Knuckles. He doesn't have a thing with his parents. The things he enjoys are things that only he can do.
One night he becomes overwhelmed. He sees everyone doing something. Everyone is having fun. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know how to join. All he has to do is ask, but why won't he? Tails finds himself unable to speak up. He retreats to his room and crawls into bed despite it being in the middle of the day. He grabs a notebook from under his mattress. It's both his diary and planning journal. He begins to write about how he feels:
"I hate my head sometimes. I'm always told that I'm super smart, but then why does my head say such dumb things? I feel left behind sometimes. I don't know if it's actually something I deserve. I don't think they're doing it on purpose. 3 kids is a lot. They love me, but I sometimes feel smaller, more than just literally. I feel like it's selfish of me to want more when I already have so much. Love is a privilege. Attention is a privilege. That is what I was taught growing up. I had to earn it, but what more can I do? I want to spend more time with Mom and Dad but I don't know how to ask. Not only alone time because I want Sonic and Knuckles there too. Loneliness doesn't feel nice."
He wipes his tears from his eyes. Tails then hears the click clacks of Ozzy bounding up the stairs. The golden retriever jumps up onto Tails' bed and knocks his notebook from his hands to get closer. Tails giggles tearfully as he gets those slobbery puppy kisses. He puts no real effort into pushing the pup away, "Ozzyyy gross, stop with the kisses!-" he giggles.
Tails hears Sonic coming up. He trained himself to recognize peoples footsteps since the orphanage didn't appreciate his hobby of inventing. Tails quickly hides his book, blows his nose and wipes away his tears. Sonic smiles seeing his little brother "oh there you are! Dad wanted to know if you wanted to play Mario Kart."
"In a bit. I'm in the middle of something." Tails feels his eyes failing him. He wants to cry, and forcing himself not to isn't helping. Sonic knows. He's done it too. He immediately goes to his brother "hey, hey what's wrong? What happened, Tails?" Sonic sits with Tails. Ozzy ceases his kisses and instead lays his head on Tails' lap. Tails doesn't respond to Sonic, but he pets Ozzy. That helps him calm down a bit. Sonic leans slightly on Tails "Just havin' a bad day?" Tails nods. Sonic feels like he's being partially lied to, but if Tails doesn't want to talk about it, he won't push him. Tails leans back on Sonic. The two sit in silence for a little, Sonic passing Tails tissues to clean himself up.
Then Tom appears. "Hey, what happened to asking Ta-" Tom notices the scene in front of him. Tom goes right to his boys, "Hey, buddy, what's wrong?"
"Bad...bad day.." Tails sniffles. Tom looks at Sonic, then back at Tails "Tails, I feel like you're not telling me the complete truth. If you don't want to talk about it right now, that's fine, but I'd like to know what's making you upset."
"I'm tellin the truth.."
"Ok, I'll believe you." Tom is a sheriff. He has studied extensively on how to detect lies. Tails is having tells.
Tails feels guilty. He hates lying. He wants to rip off the bandage, but he doesn't want to hurt anybody...but he knows Sonic will understand loneliness.
Tails takes a breath "I feel... lonely."
Tom looks a little confused "Why? You have us."
"Not that kind of loneliness," Tails continues "I'm surrounded by people all the time, but still... I-I feel like I'm alone."
Sonic's heart breaks. That feeling was crushing for him, and he hates to imagine what it's doing to Tails. "I get it." Sonic says, "It's not fun, is it?"
Tails shakes his head no.
Knuckles and Maddie come up. They had a gut feeling. They see Tails is sad and they go right to him and ask what's wrong. Tails feels himself getting overwhelmed again. His ears pin back. Sonic motions for Knuckles and Maddie to give Tails a little bit of space.
Tails feels he can no longer speak for himself, so he's going to finally let his notebook do the speaking. He takes it out and opens it to what he wrote only minutes before. His tears haven't even dried on the page yet.
Maddie is the first to read. She passes the notebook to Tom then sweeps her son up into a tight hug. Tails clings to her.
"Tails, honey... I'm so sorry. I didn't know you felt that way." Maddie begins to tear up herself. She feels horrible. Tom soon joins the hug feeling the same way. They feel absolutely awful.
Knuckles and Sonic read together. They have a sinking feeling. They had their suspicions for a while that Tails was not telling them the complete story about his past. The way he jumped at loud sounds, or shielded himself if someone came at him a little too quickly was something they all had noticed, but never knew how to address.
Knuckles gulps and clears his throat “Tails.. who told you that love and attention was a privilege?”
Tails sniffles “…. My old teacher, my caretakers, and my.. biological dad. My dad was the only one to say it outright, though..”
“What?” Maddie says softly in disbelief. Tails has never mentioned his biological parents, so everyone just assumed he never really met them.
Tails gets this thousand yard stare, recalling memories that have been buried in time. Tails says “I can’t remember his face.. but I remember his voice. He repeated a lot of things. I remember how he yelled in my face whenever I made a mistake, or when I dared to exist in his presence on a bad day. I remember one time I asked him if he loved me, and he said that he would never love a brat like me. He said that any love and attention is a privilege I had to earn. Mom.. didn’t do anything. She let it happen. I can’t remember her face either, but I remember feeling angry whenever she gave me a pitiful look.”
His family feel their hearts shatter for him.
“Weren’t you in an orphanage?” Tom asks, hoping that’s not the wrong thing to say.
Tails doesn’t move. He doesn’t blink. His blue eyes continue to stare off into space, and his facial expression is plain. No emotion anywhere on him. He says “I was. Not because I was an orphan, but because they threw me away. I remember.. when I was almost 4..mom woke me up and told me that I was going somewhere. She said I was going to daycare, and that they’d take care of me there. I remember not knowing what it was, but she made it sound fun. Mom and Dad didn’t say anything when they left me. I waited for them. It took one of my caretakers yelling that nobody is coming back for me to realize the reality of the situation… one day they just walked up to me in the middle of eating cold oatmeal that mom died. I didn’t feel anything. I don’t remember how I reacted, but the caretaker got mad at me and told me I was a heartless freak. How was I supposed to react? I don’t know if she loved me. She never tucked me in at night, never defended me, never hugged me, never ever, did she even not once told me that love me. All she did.. was look at me with pity. She never looked at me like I was her son, she looked at me like a helpless creature that would soon waste away.”
Tails’ words linger in the air and repeat like a broken record on everyone’s minds.
“Tails-“ Sonic starts,
Tails snaps out of his trance and takes a deep breath, “I’m ok. I’m fine. Things got better. Thank you. Im sorry.”
“Why are you saying sorry?” Tom asks, “there’s nothing to be sorry about… and thank you for telling us this. Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”
Tails thinks for a moment, then sighs and hangs his head “I dunno.. I don’t wanna talk about it anymore. We’re off topic.” Tails says sternly.
Maddie presses her cheek against the side of his head as she holds him close, “we can talk about it later, and maybe find someone who can help you.”
A smile finally returns to Tails’ face.
“Now…” Maddie starts “..Tails. Have you ever felt like Dad and I play favourites?”
Tails doesn’t respond. His lack of response destroys his parents.
Sonic and Knuckles feel like they took their parents away from Tails.
“We’re so sorry, Tails.. neither of us meant to do that. There’s no excuse for it, and you don’t deserve to be left out in any way.” Tom embraces his son and his wife, “There’s no such thing as favourites in this family. We love you boys equally.”
Tails stays silent. He nods to show he was listening.
“Let’s fix it together,” Maddie suggests, “as a family, ok?”
“Ok..” Tails mutters. “I’m sorry, I believe you, I’m just really.. like, part of me is still in disbelief that I actually managed to find someone who loved me, and that I got adopted into a real family who loves me. And.. I’m really thankful.”
Sonic goes in front of Tails and crouches down in front of him “we’re happy you’re here.”
Knuckles joins Sonic’s side and says “we are deeply sorry for allowing you to feel left out.” Knuckles places a hand over his heart “I swear on my honour to never let it happen again.”
Tails snickers. He finds it a little goofy. His parents let him go so the brothers can have a turn hugging the life out of that little fox.
“Thank you.. really.” Tails says to his brothers. “…and yes, I would like to play Mario Kart.”
Sonic laughs a little “cool, but let’s stay like this for a little longer, ok, baby bro?”
Tails has no complaints.
Tom wraps his arm around Maddie. They do love their boys, and it’s moments like these that remind them they’re doing a good job. However, they still feel like they failed Tails, and wish to make it up to him one day.
Soon, everyone stands up.
Sonic and Tails race down the stairs.
Tails yells “I call dibs on Luigi!!”
Sonic responds “you always pick Luigi!”
“He speaks to me!”
Knuckles let’s out an amused “hm.” Before turning to face his parents, “Mother, we must find a yoga mat for the fox.”
Maddie smiles “let’s make sure he actually wants to do yoga, then we’ll look for one, ok?”
“Alright. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am about to beat my brothers in a game of Karting.”
“Good luck.” Tom says “we’ll be down soon.”
Knuckles nods and goes to join his brothers.
Tom and Maddie had a long talk. Things must change. They’re going to work on including all 3 of the boys in everything.
They also discuss getting Tails a therapist, and maybe the other two boys one too.
Cause they need it.

Could I please request HCs for Saitama, Genos, Sonic, and Garou, for either a friend or s/o either is fine) that’s a werewolf? They got bit at a young age and turn into one every full moon. As a werewolf, they’re not actively aggressive unless they’re being attacked. Really, they’re a big softy who wants to pig out on meat, drop a dead deer at your feet. A big softy that’s also tough as hell given they spent a good portion of their life being hunted as a werewolf. (P.S You’re doing great 👍🏽)
Tumblr media
thank v much I hope I got this accurate to werewolf lore
Werewolf Reader
~~~~
Saitama
Werewolf is just fancy language for big dog to him
It caught him off guard at first, understandably, likely underestimating how much of a change it was, but he got used to it
He's mad about all the fur you have on the low. It's crossed his mind asking you to also bite him if it meant he had some hair, but he wont go through with it
Your company is appreciated during winter full moons. He would like to lay on you, and save on his electric bill. Bald people always be cold
If you drop a dead anything for him he's gonna be happy about the free food you just provided
Hunters aren't a problem at all as he's on it, and any aggression you may show towards potential threats don't bother him. He'll be trying to count how many teeth you have, though, if bared.
He keeps making twilight jokes and you can't stop him. If he could get his hands on a Team Jacob shirt it would be the best inside joke he's ever had
Genos
Unaffected entirely he givesn't a shit
He's gonna make sure you get more than enough to eat by assisting in tracking down potential meals. He'll let you do the hunting part, partially because it's good for you and also to observe your behaviors
Becomes like an expert overnight, plenty of Genos-splaining things you should watch out with eating and good exercises and all that for your big dog brain
He insists petting you is absolutely beneficial to your well being as a werewolf and gives the best tummy rubs
Rly he just thinks you're just the cutest damn thing he's ever seen and he can't explain it so he won't say anything
Anything you drop before him is greatly appreciated and he will use every inch of it in some way
He's damn upset there's no dog toys with your size even though you've explained it's not necessary many times
Sonic
It was a bit of a what the fuck moment but he got over it quickly
He likes to see how much your strength/speed changes while in this form, so he plays lots of games with you but calls it training
Always brushing your fur. Keeps breaking brushes on your fur.
He loves you, really he does, but please don't give him anything dead it's gonna make him have jitters. Because it's just a whole ass deer at his feet. A rat wouldn't bother him as much.
Yes he'll say thank you but he'll be looking green
You'll never notice if you were even being stared at. He's the best at getting rid of hunters, and you wouldn't know it unless he said something
He sometimes can get access to quality meat. Likes to spoil you a little so you don't have to go out looking for some.
If someone owes him money for a job he did he's borrowing you to scare it out of them. Whether he gets it or not he doesn't care if you end up eating them.
Garou
He thinks it's the sickest shit ever he has a werewolf companion and would be so fucking hype
Makes it a competition who can hunt the most meat. He's pigging out with you
If you're large enough he wants a ride. It would make him so happy. Top speed through the woods in the middle of the night
He just kind of forgets you're also human at the time, and will just be petting you and talking to you like you're a whole dog fr
Play fighting is very fun with Garou
Anyone that dares to even look at you wrong is dead immediately. You being vulnerable to hunters an all makes him see a bit of himself and it makes him incredibly defensive towards you
You can eat them if you want it makes hiding evidence easier
You're the best bed a guy could ask for. He loves sleeping with you especially during full moon nights

Hey there! Lurker on your blog. I have to say I agree with your takes. I don't know where people get the idea that Eggman is becoming good. That's never going to change. We wouldn't even have a main villain otherwise! It's much more interesting to see Sage go down a path of villainy and imitating her father like most young kids do with their parents. I love those artworks of them being evil together. It'd be so fun if we got a game where Sage dresses to match her dad more and even attempts to laugh like he does!
It's good to know I'm not alone. 💜 I feel like I'm in this little spot with a very small number of people that don't agree with all loudest sides of the debates right now because I don't believe it's even happening to complain about in the first place. Eggman definitely isn't ever going to become a good guy. I don't know what the fandom is talking about, he's so far morally gray and is still very much evil.
He's the main villain of the series and always will be, he's one of the most iconic ever and they're not gonna make him a good guy and lose that status and replace him with some random guy lol. Sega JP emphasized how he's a bad guy and cool villain the day the update dropped through Sonic channel. All official stuff is still describing and showing him to be very much so.
Since accepting and analyzing Frontiers Eggman much deeper down to every line of dialogue, I realized it's just brought forward a bunch of even more evidence I can use and emphasizes how much of an evil bastard and bad person he in cool new ways that encourage deeper thought. It's been very cool and fun to me to dive in deep as someone insanely fixated on analyzing him XD
And it's also still surface level with the way he was still constantly plotting, scheming, wished he could use what he's learned about the ancients and the end to his advantage, showed low empathy multiple times, laughed at Sonic's death, and made it very clear how much he hates working with Sonic and co. And on top of all that, his dynamic with Sage is based on his narcissism and egotism.
This also didn't change at all in The Final Horizon, it also showed it in even more cool ways and it's great. Sure the fandom created their own vastly different fanon version of Eggman and his dynamic with Sage and talk like it's canon and let it overshadow all the real cool and interesting things about it, but the official media is unaffected. Eggman is the same character I know and love as ever there.
When I shut out what the loudest parts of fandom are telling me to think and feel, I genuinely like what I see and analyze Eggman's characterization to be. I see what they were going for even without Flynn's later writer commentary. And I'm really happy I genuinely like it, I feel happy, content, and at peace with how he's being portrayed and it's relieved me of so much stress and worry.
He's not going anywhere, he's the same diabolical narcissistic egotistical bastard that I adore and find so funny and entertaining! And the new stuff taking him in interesting new directions that emphasize the character he already is and not changing it but further strengthening and solidifying it instead, makes me so happy and appreciate and understand it in even more ways.
That's my funny horrible special guy and I love him so much 🥰
Tumblr media
And Sage is still very much not a good person either, knowing all about how terrible Eggman is and still remaining loyal and loving. That combined with his narcissism and ego - the reasons he praises and takes pride in her for the first place - is a delightfully dangerous combination. Just think about how his massive ego and evil could be even further boosted and enabled by her!
And the influence Eggman can have on Sage will also be very fun in return. She's compliant with his orders and knows exactly who he is, what he wants, what he's capable of, and how terrible he is and sticks by him. I'd love to see more of villainous Sage and how Eggman's influence can affect her that way, like seeing even more of the pre Sonic influence Sage will be very fun.
Final Horizon gave us a nice example of how she supports him conquering the world and I'd love to see more of her attitude and feelings on it and what she's willing to do to play her part in it. I also really enjoy art that gets it right and shows Eggman and Sage being evil and reveling in it together. I'm excited to see more because their canon dynamic is fun and has potential to be excitingly chaotic!
Sage trying to mimic aspects of Eggman like behaviors, quirks, and maybe fashion would be pretty funny. I think he'd allow it to an extent, as he'll enjoy how it shows her admiration for him, helps remind people Eggman is her father more which it's easier for him to take pride, and he'll just be very pleased to influence someone in an evil way... so long as it doesn't steal any of his spotlight! XD

The team of Legends brought together by Rip Hunter had stopped by STAR Labs for a bit of strategic planning, a few repairs, and to let certain folks know how things were going on. One of those being Lisa Snart who wasn't quite happy about being left behind for the whole thing and had even punched Rip in the face much to Sara's amusement and the own man's annoyance. While all that was going on, Cisco Ramon was deep into his work creating a special set of gauntlets to properly channel the additional power set he wound up learning about accidentally when he struck Barry in the stomach with his sonic waves. Waves he could make by channeling various vibrations in the air and other sources around him. He also had on the specialized goggles Harry had made to channel his vibes as they doubled as protective eye wear against bright lights.
And his ability had the habit of doing that when he put too much power into it. Which is why the gauntlets were being made so it would automatically stop him from channeling more until the guantlets themselves needed the additional power. Seeing the effect they had on Barry had him and the others thinking it would be a secret weapon in their fight against Zoom. Which kind of had Cisco a bit nervous to be honest as he was more of a tech support guy then a fighter. Caitlin had helpfully pointed out that Oliver could help with his fighting skills but Cisco wasn't too sure about it as he remembered all too well about the story of his training with Barry. Two arrows were so not going into his back thank you very much!
Placing the final touches on his latest work, he stuck them on and ran off to the Cortex to show the team the new tech. Though he quickly came to a stop once inside as he saw who all was there. He also noticed the white outfit Laurel had him design and realized that must be Sara Lance herself! "While I'm surprised by our guests that nobody bothered to tell me about, the fact you're wearing one of my specially made outfits pleases my inner child like you wouldn't believe." Cisco told her as he came up to Sara with a huge smile on his face while Harry rolled his eyes.
The blonde assassin raised an eyebrow at him in slight amusement. "Ohh so you're the guy Laurel talked too then. Which by the way? Nice work."
She raised up a hand and he happily high fived it while completely forgetting about the gauntlets. The force from the slap powered up the gauntlet to a small degree and made a short lived humming noise. "Its always great to get some appreciation from people." Cisco told her happily while ignoring the reaction from his gauntlet since it wasn't anything to worry about in particular.
"Hey, we appreciate what you do just fine." Protested Mick Rory from where he was in a chair.
Looking to the villain with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, except you and Snart here use my tech for bad things and I seriously can't get behind that at all."
Mick waved it off like it wasn't a big deal in his view. "Ahh lighten up kid and have a little fun."
Leonard smirked as he could tell Ramon was too happy with that and was about to say something when a pair of arms wrapped around him and a woman's body pressed herself up against him. "Ooh Cisco, my what big hands you have there."
Came the voice of Lisa 'Golden Glider' Snart as she spoke into his ear and making him shudder a little in slight pleasure. Something he wondered why he wasn't feeling all that bothered about to be honest. "Well… You know, bigger hands to make stuff better then I was able too before."
Laughter could be heard from Mick after that one and even Barry was trying to fight the smile that wanted to be on his face. "Mmm… Big hands or not, I like you either way."
Plus Lisa was highly sure his hands would do some amazing things to her no matter their size. The thought was enough to make her grin in pure delight. "That's… That's good to know."
Damn, girl has him all hot and bothered! Thought Sara amusedly while wondering why the Hell her sister hadn't snatched up the guy for herself!
Course with the way he had yet to pull away from the girl behind him, it probably was a good thing she hadn't. No telling the cat fight that would erupt from that mess. As it is, it seemed Kendra was looking slightly jealous herself much to Carter's unhappiness. Lisa then stepped away from her would be and eventual man to come in front of him. "While I like the shades baby, I like seeing your eyes much more as a girl like me could get lost in them."
A blush erupted onto Cisco's cheeks as he started to stammer out a response while Mick laughed again. "Ugh, could you be anymore desperate?" Groaned out Kendra and getting a mild glare from Leonard in the process.
"Careful there Wings, that's my baby sister you're talking about."
"'Sides, aren't you all reincarnated love affair with Wing Boy?" Asked Mick as he knew he had her there.
Kendra tried to say something in response but couldn't quite come up with anything. Making Mick nod in satisfaction for the win he got on her. Lisa decided to give her full attention back to her Engineer as he was a far better focus to have instead of the obviously jealous girl. And if something happened between the two, words would have to be had with her man. Sure, they weren't together but he was her's darn it and no other girl deserved him! "A girl can't help but wonder what your smart and sexy self decided to build these babies for."
She leaned in a little to his face and he had to back away a little, though she quickly snatched off the 'shades' so that she could look into those eyes of his. "There's those eyes I love."
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Thought Mick and Sara was also thinking along similar lines.
"Uhh… The gauntlets help. They help… Oh God." Got out Cisco as he tried to explain but the sheer hotness of the girl was being too much for him so he had to back away a few inches.
An action that made her pout at him! She's gonna kill me doing that kind of thing… Thought the engineer with a gulp.
"Aww, why are you over there when I'm over here? Where I'm all lonely without you." Lisa told him with that pout still going on while Leonard just wasn't liking the whole thing at all.
I may have to have a private word with Cisco about his intentions towards my sister. Never mind the fact it was actually his sister who seemed to have all the intentions towards the man.
"Because, I can't think straight or talk very well when you're that close to me apparently."
Lisa smiled at him. "Aww, well I can't have that now can I? Then again, maybe I could but it would depend on the situation." She looked as if she was considering that for a moment but in reality she loved that she had that kind of effect on him.
Harry however pretty much had enough of the whole thing. "Oh for God's sake, can you two please get a room already? This is a work place after all. And since Ramon's ability to talk properly fails him, those gauntlets allows him to control his vibrational abilities."
He got all sorts of glares for that but didn't care as really! Flirt elsewhere for crying out loud! "Vibrational… Abilities?" Asked Lisa curiously while wanting to knock the crap out of the man for interrupting her fun.
"Yeah, I learned the Particle Accelarator changed me too. I get these vibes about stuff that's happened or will happen. These guantlets help channel these sonic waves I also recently learned I can use."
"Ohh, I see now. My Engineer's got himself an upgrade." Lisa said as she walked up to Cisco and not giving a crap about personal space since she didn't think it was a thing that was needed between the two of them.
After all, they have kissed a time or two so personal space? Yeah, not needed! Kendra was lowly muttering to herself about way too forward women with a lack of respect for personal space and the dam Barry had when it came to trying to resist laughter was slowly starting to break. Lisa then got herself a rather naughty idea. "Hmm… A girl has to wonder about these vibrating powers of yours..."
Leonard tensed up, ready to knock out Cisco if he answered in the positive where he thought that line of thought was going. And then lock his sister up for a few years. "Do they allow you to vibrate in interesting ways?" She'd gotten real close to his face and could have laid a soul searing kiss on him if she wanted. And if the desire she was seeing in his eyes were any indication, he himself was wanting it to happen.
The blush that appeared on his face soon afterwards was just too damned cute for Lisa and the laughter of not only Mick but the Flash could be heard as well. "LISA!" Yelled out Leonard unhappily.
Turning to him with what she felt was her best innocent look. "What? There's no need to yell Lenny."
A growl could be heard from the man as Sara gave Lisa a high five. "I uhh… I uhhh… Umm… No… I can't do that at all. At least I don't think I can. The only vibrator… Oh God… I mean the only person who could probably do something like that is the Flash." Who was laughing his ass off even more after that and Mick was pretty much doing the same as he fell to his knees in pure joy and started to beat on the ground.
Lisa gave a small little pout to that. "Aww, well maybe one day you and I can find out… Together. I'm sure it'll be all sorts of fun." She licked her lips and Cisco gulped big time over that as the heat in his face grew even more.
"I definitely gotta get a few tips from this girl." Remarked Sara in admiration.
Meanwhile, Jay was holding a highly embarrassed Caitlin as she buried her face into his chest. The man himself was kind of blushing from all the not so subtle innuendos going on between his friend and the Snart girl. Then to the surprise of maybe only Kendra and Leonard, Lisa grabbed Cisco and laid one heck of a kiss on him. Sara's bo staff got in the good Cold's path too and he looked towards her unhappily as Lisa happily continued to keep her lips glued to Cisco's. Shaking her head at him, Sara told the man to leave it be as this is his sister's moment. "Plus, this Cisco seems like a really good guy so he might be a good fit for her."
He hated to admit it, but his fellow Legend had a good point. Other then maybe ol' Barry, Ramon was a fairly good choice for his sister to be potentially involved with. "Fine, but if he gets her pregnant he'd better marry her." Grumbled the man before returning to his place next to his laughing partner.
Once the kiss finally ended after Cisco's brain finally rebooted and even kissed the lovely Lisa Snart back. The engineer stumbled into a nearby chair with a wowed look on his face. "Mmm.. I have GOT to do that more often." Lisa said happily as she looked on at her man's dazed state.
The dazed Cisco looked up at her and let out a little laugh to signify his unsureness and surprise on that line of thought. God? Virgin Mary? I think I need a little help here…
If Zoom or anybody else managed to not kill him, Lisa and her actions of mind freeze ups surely would. Though a part of him could live with that and he had to firmly squash it down. Bad hormones! Bad!

it was a little death heavy for a finale like they really wanted to cause some damage before they peaced the fuck out
sometimes charlie is so sweet and normal and then othertimes his reactions and thought processes really reveal the fucked up childhood trauma LIKE OF COURSE BABE WAS FUCKING DEVASTATED YOU PSYCHOPATH but I'm so so happy that they are back together and I need them to be happy forever now
sonic and north, I need the most heart wrenching devastating love confession and then they kiss whilst crying tears of relief because how the fuck has it taken so long and then they refuse to let go of each other even though sonic still tries to fein indifference but no one can take him seriously anymore because he melts everytime he makes eye contact with north
fuck tony, glad he died in a puddle of his own blood and it would have been wrong for anyone else to have killed him other than kenta, my poor sweet boy, he deserves so much love
way did not have to die and I honestly don't want to think about it too much because I'm in denial, also he's an enigma so surely SURELY there's a chance he's not DEAD dead ya know? but two fake deaths might be pushing it also my poor fucking boy babe, that was an extra layer of trauma he just did not need
jeff is pregnant and no one can prove he isn't, jeff and alan deserve each other so bad and bring me peace
winner gets an award for being the most pathetic and least serious villain ever
kenta???????? kenta needs to be adopted into the hunter fam immediately and looked after and loved and cherished and cuddled at this point I don't even care who by, he just needs someone
definitely need a special ep, heavily focused on northsonic and kenta and kim with the happy couples as background characters (and like towards the end it cuts to pete and way living happily in secret without anyone ever finding out way didn't die because apparently that was such an essential plot line)
anyway thank you so fucking much for your review I appreciated it so bad you don't even know and I'm sorry to your followers who do not give a shit about bl dramas but like maybe they should and I am here to support all the demons you have <3
oh my anogie ur my favorite person ever i agree with everything you said And you know what you're right in my mind way is somewhere safe living his best cottagecore life with pete and sometimes babe and charlie go to visit😭😭😭

Flufftober Day 23
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50489362/chapters/129036691
Summary: Things are complicated when your boyfriend is a time traveler. Thankfully Shadow is more than willing to make it work, even if that means waiting.
Pairing: Shadow the Hedgehog/Silver the Hedgehog
Warnings: Mild angst
Word Count: ~1500 words
@flufftober
Shadow doesn’t remember the first time he met Silver very well. Though he remembers enough to know the other hedgehog had been surprised. An odd emotion on his face that Shadow couldn’t place; then that emotion being gone as he made his expression something more neutral. The short interaction was the only thing he could remember vividly. As fate would have it though, he’d meet Silver again and this time he could remember all of it perfectly. Silver seemed at ease around him, despite the two being strangers. Shadow had been told he didn’t give off the most welcoming aura, so the other hedgehog’s friendliness confused him greatly. Though it wasn’t unwelcome. Unlike someone like Sonic, Silver never attempted to push the boundaries of Shadow’s personal space. In fact, the other hedgehog seemed to know exactly where to stop to keep Shadow comfortable. Which was odd, but again not unwelcome. 
The two would slowly begin to see each other more and more, mostly due to the time traveling hedgehog coming back to fix things that apparently kept going wrong in their time. The two had slowly grown closer, mostly because Silver seemed to know just the right things to say and do. The other hedgehog easily maneuvering past the walls he’d put up. It wasn’t the brute force tactic Sonic had used to become “friends” with him, but a more gentle approach that honestly had Shadow caught off guard most of the time. That in turn made it easier for Silver to get him to open up more and more.
Though the two didn’t get to see each other often Shadow grew to enjoy the time they did get to spend together. Others had certainly begun to notice how he felt about Silver, Rouge most of all. The bat lightly teased him about his crush, but in the end she said go for it if it made him happy. Plus she would happily give him any advice if he needed it. He did not intend to take her up on that offer, but the support was appreciated.
Once Shadow had managed to work up the courage to say something to Silver the other hedgehog hadn’t seemed all that surprised, he was happy though. Ecstatic even and that was infectious. Shadow had hesitantly wrapped his arms around Silver, it was returned immediately. Silver seemed to know just how to slot himself against Shadow too. It was a nice moment, and nothing overly sappy. Shadow wasn’t sure he could have handled that.
The two let things slowly develop from there, but as they got closer Shadow couldn’t help but notice Silver seemed to be acting odd. He tried confronting Silver about it gently a few times but he’d just been reassured that everything was fine. While Shadow wanted to push he didn’t think that would get him anywhere. As much as he didn’t want to let it lie he did.
Things came to a climax a few years after they’d first got together when Silver asked Shadow to meet him at a chao garden the two had visited a lot. As Shadow arrived he immediately noticed that Silver was nervous; several of the chao were even giving him concerned looks. “Silver.” Shadow walked over and gently took Silver’s hands.
Silver looked up at him, his eyes were sad. Shadow hated seeing him like this. “Shadow…” He squeezed Shadow’s hands. “This… is the last time we’re going to see each other for a while.”
“Why?” Shadow frowned in confusion.
Silver sighed. “Our first meeting in the past wasn’t the first time I met you. We met for the first time in my time. Well I met you for the first time at least.” Shadow hummed. That did actually make some sense. The ease at which Silver was able to bond with him. How Shadow hadn’t felt the need to be on edge around him. It all would make more sense if Silver had already known him. Silver chuckled sadly. “You warned me, your future you, that this would be the last time I’d see you like this. Nothing else happens here that needs me to go back and fix it and as much as I want to be able to see all my friends more I know that I can’t keep coming back like this. It could break something.” He sighed sadly. “I’ve said my goodbyes to everyone else already.” He looked Shadow in the eyes. “It’s going to be a long time for you before you’ll make it to my time. I’m… sorry to make you wait that long.” He leaned his head against Shadow’s chest and wrapped his arms around him. Shadow easily returned the gesture. “It’s so unfair you know? I get to go back and you’ll still be there, but you…”
Shadow ran a gentle hand through Silver’s quills. This news was honestly a shock to him, but his partner needed him right now. It really felt like the opposite of what should be happening. It made sense though, Silver had always worn his heart on his sleeve. Plus it made sense that he’d feel bad for having to put Shadow through what he’d be going through in the folowing years. Shadow could break down later though. Right now he’d be strong for Silver.
The two just remained in each other’s embrace for a while, Shadow doing his best to calm the emotional hedgehog in his arms. Eventually Silver pulled away and held something out to Shadow. “Time travel is weird.” Silver chuckled humorlessly. “You’ll give this to me at some point in the future yet I’m the one who gives it to you now.” In Silver’s hand was a ring. It was nothing flashy, something Shadow definitely preferred, and was probably rather inexpensive. To him though? To him it was worth more than anything in the world. 
Shadow pulled off a glove and put the ring on, admiring how the silver stuck out against his black fur before slipping his glove back on. “I’ll be sure to keep it safe until then.” The two spent the rest of the day together and as much as Shadow didn’t want to rush Silver he knew if they drew out their goodbye too long it would only hurt more. “I’ll see you soon Silver. I love you.”
Silver smiled sadly. “I love you too.” With that he was gone, and Shadow had a very long time before he’d see him again.
Shadow sucked in a sharp breath as he wandered the city. Absentmindedly he played with the ring held securely under his glove, something that had become a habit over the long years. He didn’t have a date of course but some part of Shadow could feel it was time. That any day now he’d cross paths with Silver again. Well it would be the first time for the other hedgehog. Shadow had taken to wandering the streets of the city that Silver had once mentioned he lived in, keeping his eyes peeled for his other half. It had been hard waiting all this time but finally he was going to be rewarded. 
As he turned a corner a flash of silver caught his eye. His head whipped around to follow it, and there he was. Shadow’s breath hitched as he finally saw Silver again after all this time. It almost didn’t feel real. With a deep breath he walked over to him. “Hello there.” Shadow nodded politely.
Silver jumped slightly before waving at him. “Oh uh… hey there. Have we… met?”
What a loaded question that was, but Shadow simply shook his head. “No, you’ve never met me. I’m sorry for just approaching you out of the blue like this. It probably seems rather odd…” Shadow looked away. 
“It sort of is yeah…” Silver rubbed the back of his head. “Oh wait! I do know you!” 
Shadow’s heart skipped a beat, there was no way right? “Oh?” He did his best to keep his voice from shaking.
“Yeah!” Silver suddenly looked excited. “You’re the one who led the fight in dismantling the last remnants of that Eggman guy! I’ve read all about the stuff that you’ve done.”
“As far as I’m aware a lot of that isn’t public information.” Shadow rose a brow, a small smile twitching at his lips.
Silver looked away. “It is if you know where to look…”
“I see.” Shadow hummed. “Well in that case, would you like to grab a coffee? It isn’t often I meet someone who knows who I am.”
“Wait seriously?” Silver excitement was back. “Oh I mean yeah sure. Thank you for the invite.” As Shadow led Silver to the nearest place that served coffee he couldn’t help but fiddle with the ring again. It would be hard but he would get Silver to fall for him. If Silver had done it for him, then he would have no problem doing the same.

Dear Duck, I hope this ask finds you in good health.
Regarding Shadow, yeah I’m definitely a sucker for grumpy characters with depth 😂. Other than Shadow, I love Rouge and Chaos. Prime is giving Rouge attention, and it makes me so happy :))
I never heard of Ian Jr until now… but my eyes has been opened now. I-I have found the enlightenment Wukong has been searching for. He’s…He’s just so silly! 🤩 Definitely blorbo quality. I must pat his head and stuff him in my pocket- Also, Knuckles is such a valid choice. You know da wae *nods* *click click click*. Lastly, I think we can both agree that Chaos needs more love. He’s just a sweetheart protecting the chao. We must protecc at all cost.
To answer your questions….I had a Sonic phase as a kid so get ready:
The only Sonic games I’ve played were Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Generations, Sonic and the Black Knight, and Mario + Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. HOWEVER, I’ve watched people play all of the other games (except frontier). Out of all those games, Sonic Generations is probably my favorite. In terms of shows, Sonic X is my favorite for nostalgic reasons. I’ve only just started reading the comics.
Ngl… I could probably go all day talking about my interests 🤣.
When did you start enjoying the Sonic franchise? For me it was around 7 years ago when I actually got into it.
-🍑 anon
FINALLY GETTING AROUND TO ANSWERING THIS ASK YIPPEE
Fuck yeah, Rouge Appreciation! Good to see SEGA supportign womens rights AND womens wrongs <33
Yes... Im so glad ur finally seeing the light (Ian Jr). AND KNUCKLES <333 OUGHH HES SO SO SILLY I LOVE HIM SM!!! Chaos is honestly p underrated. Dude is a water blob, how can u not love them?
Yes, they may have genocided Knuckles's ancestors. But like. Erm. Theyre blorbo. So!!
YOOOO u fr a bonafide sonic fan!! Unfortunately, the only game ive ever played is frontiers and ive only gotten that recently,, Not sure if i mentioned that before lmao. I think I'm nearing the end of Archie Sonic, as in I'm getting close to the Super Genesis Wave aka the Reboot. Which happened bcs of... HIM.....
But whatevs!
RAHHH RAMBLE ABT UR INTERESTS TO ME ANYTIME YOU WANT!!! I LOVE HEARING PPL TALKING ABT WHAT THEY LOVE!!!! ID GLADLY LISTEN!!!!!!
7 years is a long time :00 Hmm let me try to remember... I think I got into sonic december of last year? I think? Not sure, but it's probably somewhere around that time I got into the silly blue hedgehog franchise.

More Twitter crossposting. Found the very first instance of this gay hogboy. Edited some of it to fit the current rendition.
-- -- --
*makes an AU where Sonic was abandoned as a baby cause he had NIDS and Metal found him, bringing him back to Eggman, who, in the face of an incurable disease, laughed at the idea he couldn't fix anything and everything*
So Sonic grows up in Eggman's care, gets a rad choker that injects him with medicine if it goes red so he can mitigate his flair-ups, and, for as much trouble as he gives Eggman, he genuinely loves him like a dad.
And Eggman, who's more interested in renewing the Robotnik legacy than just taking over the world ("What a...how do they say it...*mid* goal. Think higher. Broader."), is annoyed by the blue rodent. Ugh, why did he ever decide to make company with something organic?
...He also made him a containment tube to rest in when his NIDS flair ups are really bad (Sonic calls it Syndrome Jail). 
 And he monitors the medicine levels in Sonic's choker.
 And he made him heavy leg weights to build his leg strength for running while he’s walking cause some days, he’s low energy but Sonic still wants to exercise...
And he still keeps those old kiddie doodles Sonic used to draw of himself holding Eggman's and Metal's hands with a big smile, surrounded by happy robots. 
 He won't say it with words, but he does appreciate Sonic's presence and is angry at himself for not solving NIDS yet.
Of course, solving NIDS isn't his only goal. He wants the Robotnik name to spread across universes. Taking over one measly planet by force won't do that for him. No, he has to think even bigger. Besides, trying to do that is working harder, not smarter.
He'd rather let the current rulers become so dependent on his tech that, if he ever does decide to take over the world, all he has to do is snap his fingers. He's not a “megalomaniac”. He's practical. And he knows his own power and exactly how unmatched he truly is. (”Sure, Jan,” Sonic huffs affectionately.) He also knows that, if he can solve NIDS, Sonic will be unmatched right beside himself and Metal. 
 His speed is already second to none. Had he died of NIDS, no one would've ever known the actual power Sonic holds. 
He also recognizes that Sonic can channel and sense chaos energy.
Their story really kicks off when GUN decides against working with Eggman any longer. They had a business relationship while hiding what *really* happened to Gerald Robotnik from him. They want his tech, but not the actual mind behind it.
Of course, Eggman takes *great* offense to that, so he lets his robots go haywire at the GUN facility as an eloquent 'fuck you' and keeps his funding via his other contracts and investments. He also copies some secret files and keeps them for himself.
But some sections of GUN decided they wanted to take Eggman down like they had Dr. Gerald Robotnik. So, with the Eggman tech they do have, they start releasing them to cause mayhem and blame the attacks on him.
Eggman takes offense, but he thinks it's all small-minded behavior anyway. He really doesn't care who hates him. He already barely tolerates other organic beings (Sonic being a special exception). 
The Eggman name is popularized as a terrorist despite his lack of involvement.
Those who work with him aren't really fooled by this. He's an asshole, yes, but not a terrorist. Not yet. 
If he was, the world wouldn't be able to stop him anyway. 
What actually gets Eggman to act against GUN is what he finds after breaking the encryption on the files he stole.
He just so happened to grab the ones telling the truth about Gerald Robotnik and how he died. Rather, how he was killed. He also learns about Project Shadow and Maria.
It seemed his grandfather had been stopped before he could conquer NIDS.
He was right on the cusp of the truth with Project Shadow before it was abruptly discontinued. So now, Eggman is furious that those idiots would try to pull the wool over his eyes, and Sonic, who already didn't like the government, is angry for both himself and Eggman.
Cue Eggman's retaliation, starting to take over different parts of the planet and set up more grounds and bases. He usually buys out occupied areas, giving the people there what they want in exchange for everything they have. Unethical, perhaps, but he's never really cared.
Sonic does disagree with some of his methods, but overall, he's never leaving Eggman's side. Not just because he needs the meds, but cause Egg's his dad. He needs someone who understands him to stick by him.
Besides, it's not like the the world ever stuck by him anyway.
Sonic insists on helping with some things, and Eggman agrees under the condition he's constantly monitored, hence the bracers, trackers, and so forth.
He also has to listen if Eggman tells him to fall back and can only be active for so long during the day.
Eggman, Sonic, and Metal are expanding the Eggman Empire. Not really to rule the world, but to spread the Robotnik name and get back at GUN.
Amy Rose, leader of the Mobian Defense Force, alongside Jewel, Tails, and Tangle, are dedicated to stopping terrorism. Including Eggman.
Team Dark, comprised of leader Rouge, a GUN-reprogrammed Omega, and an unfrozen, brainwashed Shadow, are agents for GUN and their own purposes. The latter two don't know they are working against their own benefit, and Rouge doesn't know the whole history behind Shadow's creation.
Also, ever since GUN has become aware of a naturally fast hedgehog who can channel chaos energy, GUN has also started setting their sights on Sonic.
Over Sonic's dead body, of course!
And silently, over Eggman's.
That's how this story starts.

Blaze approached Sonic, trying her best to keep a poker face while keeping her hands behind her back. It's... not homemade, original, special, barely personalized, it didn't feel right to give it. But she was not going to let her friend down and make it appear that she had forgotten what today is.
Tumblr media
"Don't give me that look, we all know what happened the last time I had to cook." And her staff still haven't forgiven her for what had happened to that frying pan, she is sure.
Tumblr media
"But I think you'll find this a lot more appetizing. Happy birthday, Sonic." Blaze pulls from behind her a cake. On the white icing was a shakily written 'Happy Birthday Sonic' in thin blue icing.
He quirks a brow as she wanders over, curious while he listened to her explain herself almost nervously over her choice. Though if she was expecting disappointment she would get none of it from him, he grinned with joy as the cake is brought out from behind her.
"You could've just stopped by to say hi and I would've been happy y'know." He replies with a snicker, "didn't need to go all out for this hedgehog."
Tumblr media
"But I appreciate that you did," he adds much more earnestly. "Means a lot to me, thanks Blaze."
He carefully goes to take the cake from her, bringing it over to a nearby table. "Care for a slice yourself? If you're not hittin' the road right off, it'd be nice to chat for a sec."

Muse Appreciation Post: Horizon [Shadow]
I'm feeling very not confident in my writing and the way I portray my muses, so maybe what I really need is to dive into their characterization and gush about them.
I've been dying to ramble about Horizon, so here we go- [warning: I am not good at stringing my thoughts together so this is probably all over the place ]
This AU itself is very dear to my heart. It's become so much more than what it started as and it's just getting started as far as the big plots I have planned. Horizon wasn't even originally a part of this AU, at least not as he is now, but he's grown on me very quickly.
I love writing both Sonic and Shadow at different stages of their lives, but especially ones that I consider big turning points. Horizon is a Shadow who's lived on Mobius and been around Stardust [Sonic] and the gang for over a decade. He's been through a lot, seen a lot, and learned a lot.
Horizon is a Shadow who has had time to "heal" [using that word very lightly], never worked for the G.U.N, and slowly over that DECADE has fallen victim to... friendship.
Horizon is a Shadow that has made the glorious mistake of getting attached, he CARES, and he is paying the fucking PRICE for it.
Emotions. FEELINGS, even. Vulnerability??? [Shadow retching sound effect].
He's a Shadow that is on the edge of being okay, so close to gaining true happiness, and that is terrifying for him.
Mind you he still has a long way to go, and he'll never be what most would consider "normal" but even being this close to love and happiness is scaring him to death.
But at the same time... it's too late. Horizon WANTS to fight this tooth and nail, and a lot of the time he does, but at the same time he can not change the fact that he does care, and it leads to him coming back to his friends over and over again.
No matter how much time he spends away, there's now this odd sense of comfort, a flicker of warmth, a sensation of longing, whenever he sees those he's closest to again.
So he's FUCKED. Horizon has realized this, and while it does terrify him, he has come to the very Rational conclusion that the only thing he can do is make sure none of his friends fucking die.
Obviously he knows they'll all die of old age eventually, but he still wants to make sure they can get to that point. He wants to make sure they all have good lives.
For the most part Horizon does this by protecting the planet overall. If he can keep the greatest threats of the world at bay then he knows his friends are safe.
There are special cases, however. Horizon will get much more directly involved in a friend's life if he feels the need to. His relationship with Stardust, for example.
Stardust on his own is a major factor in Horizon's character. Certain things have happened in their intertwined past that differ here and there from canon that were also major turning points in their lives.
I do plan to write those events out, and I'm even working on some already, it's just gonna take a lot of time. And that's if I don't just make this AU a whole ass comic first [I want to so bad].
Anyway... This is insanely long as it is, and it's just been about Horizon having friends, so I think I'm gonna stop lmao
Might have to talk about other Horizon Things in a different post, but as always; if you want to know more feel free to ask! <3
tl;dr - HAHA HORIZON LET HIMSELF GET FEELINGS!! WHAT AN IDIOT

Fake It Til You Make It
A Mitsuhide Akechi fanfiction - approx. 2200 words. This scene takes place post-romantic epilogue. Fluff and a little spice.
First: Mitsuhide and the Maiden
Previous: Adrift
Kyubei watched the innkeeper through narrowed eyes. Though the man was clearly nervous, he didn’t seem to be lying. His story hadn’t changed in the last three tellings, so either he was an accomplished liar or he was telling the truth.
“L-lord Akechi and the woman left with one of the Akechi warriors. Right after we saw the fire across the lake,” the innkeeper said for the fourth time. “Then the storm came and after that, no one saw him.”
“Do you remember anything else? Did anyone else come in after they left? Did you see anyone acting strangely?”
The man shook his head. “No, I mean, not really? Everyone was a bit strange after we saw the blaze. Wondering if Azuchi was still standing.” He frowned. “You think it might have been Lord Akechi? Him disappearing like that right after -”
Kyubei cut him off. “No. That was the work of the Mouri clan.” It wasn’t the first person he’d spoken with that suspected. And why wouldn’t they? Mitsuhide was only just back from his misadventure at the shogun’s side. An ally in disgrace. A man not to be trusted.
The worst part of all this was that Kyubei really had no idea what his lord wanted him to do. Should he quash the rumors? Encourage them? Mitsuhide’s instructions from his last letter said nothing about an attack on Azuchi - not like this - and nothing about disappearing. Of course, he pretended like he knew exactly what was going on. He had to, until he received additional instructions.
“So . . . am I free to go?” The innkeeper was frowning now. His nervousness replaced by a desire to get back to making money at the inn.
“For now,” Kyubei said. He gave the man a hard stare. “If I need anything else, I will send someone for you.”
The innkeeper bowed and left, leaving Kyubei alone with his thoughts. It really seemed that in the storm, his lord had simply vanished into thin air. And Miyake too.
Perhaps they'd left with Ranmaru, who was also missing. But if so, there would be a letter. A message. Something!
The castle staff had no idea where he was - they’d waited for him to return for hours. Miyake’s squad couldn’t find their commander either. Both men were expected.
And the chatelaine . . . his lady. Kyubei worried that he had failed to protect her again.
***
Morning came with pale light through a high window. It fell across four careworn, sleeping faces. Sasuke and Miyake lay in a tangle of blankets on the floor, and in a bed, Mitsuhide clung to his little mouse. He woke with the first notes of bird-song, but kept his eyes shut. He wasn’t ready to confront the strange world of 500 years in the future just yet.
His little one stirred in his arms as the sound of morning birds turned into a hum of outside activity. “Is it . . . are we really . . .” She opened her eyes and looked around Sarutobi’s flat. “We’re really here.”
Mitsuhide nodded.
“I want to be happy about it, but . . .”
He shushed her with a kiss. “It will be fine. Worrying won’t return us faster.”
She sighed and buried her face against his chest. “I know. I just hope everyone is alright.”
“They will be,” Mitsuhide reassured her. He didn’t think of it as a lie - simply an assumption he based on his past experience. Nobunaga would handle this threat as he did others that came before it.
And Kyubei would see to what the left hand needed to be doing.
Sasuke sat up, rubbing his face. “I apologize for the accommodations,” he told them. The same apology he’d given the night before.
“At least we had somewhere to sleep.” The chatelaine sat up and wiggled out of the blanket. “I should probably check on my flat and see if it’s still mine. If so, we won't have to impose on you a second night. Although,” she sighed. “I don’t have my ID or my keys or anything.”
“I don't mind,” Sasuke replied. “You are welcome to continue crashing here. Although, we may not be here for long. Weren’t there activities you wanted to do in this time? While you can?” His left eyebrow lifted almost imperceptibly.
Mitsuhide gave her one of his slow, warm smiles. His fingers traced a path down her spine. “Yes, you did mention some things I would like to see, since we are here.”
His little mouse arched like a cat against his hand. “I did . . . yes. Alright. Since we’re here, we might as well try to enjoy it!”
Miyake rolled over on the floor and pulled the blanket over his head.
“I take it that means you plan to stay here for the day?”
Sasuke answered for the half-asleep warrior. “Actually, I would really appreciate it if Miyake would accompany me. I need to go to my university and make some arrangements.”
Miyake groaned and sat up. He blinked as his gaze went around the room, taking in all the strange objects. Finally, he settled on the ninja. “You need protection or something?”
“No. I don’t think anyone will attack me.” Sasuke felt around for his glasses and slid them on. “But I expect to be moving some heavy equipment in the lab. And I may have a friend who can help us out with those arrangements, if you're there to corroborate my story.”
“Corr what?” Miyake frowned.
“Authenticate. Like a two factor security key.” The ninja grinned.
The warrior looked to Mitsuhide uncertainly.
“If Sarutobi believes you can assist him today, then that is what you will do. I am sure my fiancée and I will be fine.”
The chatelaine looked less certain about this, but she nodded agreement.
The four of them took turns dressing in the ‘washroom’ to give each other privacy. His morning was one of surprise as the . . . toilet . . . squirted him with water. And warm or cold water came from a metal spigot at the turn of a handle too, spilling into a porcelain basin. There were more smokeless lanterns - electric lights they were called - and other wonders.
Had Mitsunari been there, he was sure the scholar could have spent weeks studying every device but Mitsuhide just needed to know how to use it.
In this place, he was the naïve child, and his little one, the wise teacher. Such a shift in their positions was hard to take. Mitsuhide didn’t think of himself as arrogant but this situation was humbling in the extreme. Thankfully, he managed to get through dressing and breakfast without any serious mishaps.
Sasuke and Miyake left to the university. The flat was silent in their wake. Mitsuhide and his little mouse sat on the edge of the bed. She was tapping away at a . . . tablet . . . to get access to her accounts. The electronic scroll was interesting, at least. With pictures and writing all lit up so you could read it even in the dark.
Mitsuhide stood and stretched, trying to get used to moving in his new clothes. They were Sarutobi’s and didn’t quite fit. He was dressed in a pair of pants that clung tightly to his legs and ended short of his ankle. The top was a soft weave, dyed black. It sported an odd blue character on it and the word Sonic. Sarutobi said the picture was a hedgehog, whatever that was.
He would have liked to wear something without a picture on it. He’d had the choice between this one and something with a lizard that walked on two legs and shot fire from its mouth. Those were the only two shirts the ninja had that were long enough to cover him to his waist. And there was no way he was walking around with a bare midriff. Even if his little mouse looked interested in the idea.
Her midriff was bare afterall, she’d laughed. And it was - sort of. She tied one of Sasuke’s shirts in a bow under her breasts and had a pair of his shorts on. Though Mitsuhide wasn’t familiar with the clothes of this time, he thought she looked like a child trying to fit into her father’s clothes. Endearingly cute, but ill fit. Some of the clothes they saw women wearing on the way in the night before would have looked much better on her.
She looked up as if she knew he was thinking about her. “Ok, I think we’re ready to go.”
“Where to, my love?”
“Well, first to my apartment. It looks like my rent payments have all been made. And the building manager knows me so I should be able to get a spare key.” Her smile was all relief.
They arrived to the apartment, a small space in a tall building that reminded Mitsuhide of a castle, if the castle was robbed of all charm and beauty. Her room was utilitarian and sterile, and while there was still the wonder of technology, he could see none of her personality in the space. He said as much.
“Hm, yeah. I didn’t really have time to decorate. The apartment came furnished. I moved in and then, well,” she laughed. “I ended up in Azuchi with you.”
Mitsuhide pulled her into a hug. “A fate worse than death, little mouse?”
“You know it wasn’t,” she giggled, laughing harder as he ran his fingers down her sensitive sides. Holding her like this felt like home, even if nothing else was familiar.
After several slow breaths, they let go of each other.
“I must confess, I cannot see you living in this place. It doesn’t seem very safe. And you don’t have much room for your sewing.” Mitsuhide couldn’t help but poke into her cabinets, shelves, and drawers.
She nodded. “Yeah, it’s pretty small but it was a place I could afford on my own.”
Mitsuhide heard the pride in her voice. He smiled. “I can imagine you coming here, determined to make it on your own.” He turned from the cabinet he was inspecting to see her stripping off her shirt.
Her pert breasts were a pleasant surprise, but she crossed her arms over them as soon as she saw him looking. “I’m just changing clothes! I didn’t want to wear Sasuke’s basketball shorts all day.”
“Please, continue.”
“I - I can’t while you’re staring at me!” She turned so that all he could see was her back.
Mitsuhide laughed. “Are we not lovers? How many times have I kissed, nibbled, caressed every bit of your skin from head to toe?”
She shivered, skin dimpling with remembered touches. Slow, nervous, she turned back around. Her arms lowered, revealing her chest again. “You can watch if you want to.”
He wasn’t sure if it was nerves or mischief that made her voice squeak at the end. Either was amusing. “Mmm, I’m a lucky man to get a show.”
“You are,” she smiled. Her fingers went to the tie on the shorts. They fell away, pooling around her feet. Underneath, she wore nothing.
Mitsuhide sucked in a breath.
Her hips swayed as she walked to her wardrobe. She glanced over her shoulder at him and fluttered her eyelashes, trying to be saucy. The effect was a little spoiled by the blush that ran from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. From within the wardrobe she pulled out a little twist of cloth. It was light blue and made of some embroidered material.
He didn’t realize he could see her skin through it until she slipped it on, slowly pulling the fabric taut over her curves. Though she was technically covered, it was somehow more tempting than just skin alone. “What . . . is that?”
“Panties.” She giggled. Then she pulled out a matching bit of cloth and wrapped it around her chest. The rise of her breasts were restrained by this new piece of clothing as she reached behind her as if to tie it.
“And that?”
“My bra.” She turned right, then left, letting him get a good view.
The sight made Mitsuhide want to simultaneously rip the clothing off her and still enjoy looking at her in them. It wasn’t possible to have both . . .
“To be honest, it’s been kind of nice not wearing these the last few months. But I think I would feel weird if I didn’t wear them with my modern clothes.”
“I like them.” Mitsuhide smiled widely. A grin that brought heat to her gaze before she looked away, suddenly shy. He knew this ground well. Even here in a world where everything was strange, his little one was the same.
He stepped forward, reaching to cup her cheek. His other hand settled lightly on her hip, fingertips stroking the skin just above the fabric of her panties. She inhaled sharply, lips parting. Mitsuhide took the invitation.
The kiss was, at first, gentle and sweet, but the press of their bodies built heat between them. Their breath mingled, tongues entwined. Hands grasping, stroking, pulling. Tearing.
Mitsuhide stopped at the sound of fabric ripping.
His little one gasped and reached down to feel the damage. Her eyes widened. “You . . . tore my panties.” Then she started to laugh.
He laughed too. Never in his life had he expected a woman so wonderful. A woman he would want badly enough to - literally - tear the clothes off her. This kind of passion he’d always believed was fake. Yet here he was. It was unthinkable. Incredible. “I love you,” Mitsuhide told her, smiling so widely that it hurt.
“I love you too.”
She gestured to the wardrobe. "I should probably, you know. Finish." It took only a moment for her to shimmy into her own clothes. Then they headed out into this strange world that was his home 500 years after death.
Next: Kitsune's Day Out

One Punch Man ship reviews bc I’m bored
WARNING: BIG ONE PUNCH MAN WEBCOMIC AND MANGA SPOILERS
GenoSai: do I even have to say it?? They compliment each other so well and are already besties. They make me so happy and I love their love. Genos literally came into Saitama’s life and brought so much new life and excitement when Saitama thought he’d never get any. Genos gives him love and appreciation all the time and never abandons him. Saitama isn’t connected to his feelings, but he cares about Genos and would do just about anything for him, to keep him safe. Genos constantly teases Saitama and Saitama grumbles and takes it with some banter, Genos is super emotional and Saitama does his best to comfort him, they fucking love shopping together and just hanging out period, they talk about the dumbest shit and somehow they still understand each other with the one brain cell they both share. It takes Genos forever to realize his feelings are deeper and Saitama has to be TOLD by their friends that he should fucking realize his feelings already. Just...I could keep going but I’ll stop! 2718873737839439/10 (let’s not talk about the age gap btw, 6 years isn’t bad and Genos is a legal adult.)
FubuSai: the stereotypical straight ship ppl gravitate to. Eh. I can see it, but at the same time I feel like they don’t completely compliment each other. Are they a hot couple? Duh. But I feel like their pride and communication issues would get in the way. 4/10
TatsuSai: hnghhhh. Someone mentioned this before, can’t remember who, but Saitama literally thinks she’s a child in canon. So that just....makes it gross. Same problems as FubuSai but worse. I’d rather see them as hesitant friends w a weird bond. 0/10
SonSai/SonicSai/idk the ship name: eh, toxic. Cant see them getting past communication issues and pride, again. Plus Sonic wants to kill his ass. Also, I just feel no romantic tension?? Even in fanfic it just falls flat for me. 3/10
MumenSai: a favorite!! Wish I saw it more, it’s very cute. Mumen is so kind and would absolutely be there to help him w self esteem and just help him be a better person period. And Saitama would have a cute little kind guy to tease and open up to. I could maybe see Mumen’s kindness getting on Saitama’s nerves when he’s in a bad mood bc Mumen almost never snaps and Saitama feels shittier, or maybe Mumen being mad at Saitama for being kinda lazy at home while Mumen is working his ass off and he’s like babe I just got home, please stop playing the fucking game and pay attention to me I have a concussion again. Prob too nitpicky on this one, heh, but 8.4/10
Genos x Sonic: wtf? As a crack ship, sure. That’s hilarious. But as a serious ship, 1.3/10 bc I could MAYBE see them bond over their love of my chemical romance or sum.
Anyone x Puri: -128382839287473828739219833468282/10. Fuck Puri.
TatsuKing: eh. Indifferent on this one too. I can see them getting along and Tatsu being the mean but supportive gf in public, but a sweet gf in private. King could be like her calm oasis of video games and sweet blonde shy bf. I sway more towards ace/aro King and queer non binary Tatsu, but this is still good. 6/10
FubuPsy/Fubuki x Psykos/idk: hell yeah!! This series NEEDS more wlw ships, both for me to project onto and to cry over. Prob my fav Fubuki ship, cuz they’ve known each other since they were young and had a tenuous friendship. I didn’t use to ship it until I saw that scene in the wc after the MA arc (u know the one) but here we are. They’re big personalities so any interaction is bound to be chaotic at first, but I really think they’d work. Pride put to the side, Psykos could be someone for Fubuki to finally rely on other than the Blizzard Bunch, someone to confide in, a badass partner to fight monsters with, talk about nothing for hours with, be a super fashionable #girlboss couple with, and someone who would really see her for who she is-especially w Psykos knowledge of her from the past. Hell, Psykos might even know her better than Tatsumaki. Fubuki could be an anchor to her like she currently is in the wc, providing a quiet comfort and making her open up little by little. Would prob be toxic at first bc of the MA arc and their desire for power, but is a very good ship I think. 9/10
Speedal/Sonic x Mumen: an old fav! Sonic would have a hard time not hating Mumen at first bc he’s the picture definition of a hero, sum he hates. But hanging out with him would show him Mumen is a GOOD guy genuinely and he’d be like ohhhh shit I’m in love w this man. Mumen would thoroughly appreciate someone to make him live a little, break some rules and stand up to ppl when they talk over him. He’d DEFINITELY be upset when finding out Sonic is an assassin, but would prob be conflicted bc he knows Sonic is a good person despite that. Would prob make Sonic give up on killing for them to be together. Sucks bc of the assassin thing and bc they haven’t met in canon! So we’re not sure how they’d interact with each other, sigh. 7.4/10
Okamaitachi x Bushidrill: a very underrated ship! To be clear, I headcanon Kama as a trans woman and so does most of the fandom. Anyway, very sweet and already built as a friendship bc of their partnership under Atomic Samurai. I can’t remember who writes fic and makes art of them on tumblr but AAAAA it’s so good! Very sweet. Basically depicted Bushi as a nervous himbo who’s honest about his feelings but scared to say them and Kama as a sweet lady who’s crazy about Bushi. Very sweet. Want more of them!! 6.1/10
OneZon/Zombieman x One Shotter: never even thought of the ship till I saw @megidolan art work! Very wholesome, and from what little we know of Shotter we know he’s a sort of nervous yet strong willed guy, and Zombieman would totally help him calm down bc he’s so chill. I could see them sharing cigarettes and talking shit on heroes while cuddling u know? 7/10 only because I don’t see enough of it but very good concept.
Mumarou/Mumen x Garou: a lot of ppl are gonna hate me for this but....I don’t like it. I’ve tried! I just—idk. I’ve read so many good fics about them that make me like it a bit, but the concept is just eh. I think their relationship is, in most reps, really cliche angsty stuff. I wish I could elaborate I just...gah! Basically, there’s better ships for the both of them imo. Sorry!! 4.3/10
Sonic x Flashy/SonFlash: yes!! Prob my fav Sonic ship. They have soooo much tension, it’s almost worse than Genos’ tension w Saitama. Flashy LITERALLY poisoned Sonic so that he wouldn’t be forced to kill him at the ninja graduation. He cares. They’ll never say it out loud, but they care. They have someone who understands what they went through in each other and someone they’re both so similar to, yet so different from. Sonic is more vocal about his expressions and let’s people know it while Flashy often keeps things to himself, they could really influence the other to be more this or that. I could see a lot of comfort with these two, and not much is needed for relationship development; they already have so much unspoken between them after meeting for the first time in years. Love it. Wish I saw it more! 10/11
KingSai: wonderful! Out of the few ppl Saitama is close to, def my second fav pick for a ship for him. There’s a post saying how Saitama doesn’t cut King off when he’s going on rants about games and stuff bc he’s talking TO Saitama, not at him like Genos tends to do on accident. They’re already great buddies! Saitama could find a shy gamer man who he can talk to about manga and stuff and also a passionate bf who could break out of his shell w Saitama and be himself with no lies. King can have someone to protect him, duh, someone who finally understands his weird sense of humor, and someone to shower him in the love and kindness he deserves when Saitama is in the mood to be all out like that w his affections. Plus he’s Saitama’s anchor and brings him back down when he’s super anxious and depressed and tells him what’s up that he needs to fix without sugarcoating it. Would def have a bunch of inside jokes and go on dates that are just staying inside playing video games all night. Domestic af. 10/10
Fubuki x Mizuki: my first wlw Fubuki ship! Hard to find but very good. Mizuki is this big ball of kindness, energy, and raw power that would make Fubuki go ‘Ohhhhhhh, big pretty lady make brain go brrr.’ I could see Mizuki grounding Fubuki when she’s in over her head, giving her random gifts bc she saw sum and thought of her, doing a marathon run and wildly waving at Fubuki in the crowd, and all around being a dependable woman confident in herself and in love with a mysterious esper. Prob a little shy when it comes to anything physical bc she loves Fubuki so much and is overwhelmed by the realness of being w her. Fubuki gives Mizuki advice on ‘acting like a proper hero’ or whatever and though Mizuki thinks she doesn’t need it, Fubuki still helps her a lot w her career and being taken more seriously by others. Would give Mizuki someone who loves her for who she is and would go wild on her in private when she can be open about her affection, would be someone Mizuki could exercise with and listen intently to Mizuki’s physical knowledge, and would absolutely bandage her when she’s all banged up. Hnghh love this ship. It’s only behind the FubuPsy ship juuuuust a little bc they haven’t met in canon so we can’t be sure about their interactions and stuff. 8.8/10, I love WOMEN
Batarou: how could I go this far without mentioning them?! They have SOOOO much tension in the centichoro fight, like come on. Both snarky assholes who are huge softies one the inside, Badd being the more logical one (still a himbo, tho) and Garou being the more chaotic one. Probably take forever to admit their feelings bc they’re so prideful and stupid <3 flirt through constant wrestling matches and it takes Genos saying ‘they should kiss already, they’re getting on his nerves’ for them to finally realize what’s up. (@rayadraws has a great au where Garou Genos and Badd are a chaotic friend squad and Genos is the only brain of the group, haha. Very good au y’all check it out!) Would constantly pick on each other affectionately and switch into concerned SO when the other is hurt like the big teddy bears they are. Raise Zenko together for sure. Garou would fumble being romantic and Badd would find it both hilarious and cute. 11/12
Zombie mask/Amai x Zombieman:
So. I don’t like Amai Mask and I used to hate him, BUT the webcomic and fic have really helped me calm down on him (he’s still a dick tho), so it’s easier to want to ship him and stuff. Bc of Amai’s anger issues and controlling behavior, I could see this relationship being super toxic and icky—but I think they have some form of understanding that pulls Amai back from being a complete dick, you know? Start off as fuck buddies and slowly form something else from spending companionable time together other than screwing. Zombieman pulls Amai back from his angry fits and soothes him over with his logic. Talk maaaaaad shit about heroes, but only when they’re alone because Zombieman knows Amai will talk loud af about the heroes they’re roasting and Zombie doesn’t wanna stop a fight from happening. Zombieman loves making Amai flustered and has a secret check list in his head of all the things that get Amai red faced. Loves to listen to Amai rant about things for hours and loves to watch his face go through almost cartoon like expressions as he talks. He won’t admit it, but Zombie loves to be spoiled by Amai’s shit tons of cash and often takes rides in Amai’s limos when he wants to smoke and think to himself. Amai has a hard time realizing how his feelings have changed, but gets hit hard with it when he wakes up to Zombie making them breakfast one morning while wearing Amai’s underwear. Amai also loves to spoil Zombie and takes him out to restaurants and buys him cool new weapons on the weekends. @batneko has pretty much gotten me into this ship and I strongly suggest looking at their works! 7.9/10
DemonKnight/Genos x Zero/Drive Knight: I’m pretty sure this used to be a crack ship before the past like 10 manga chapters—and now here we are! Not a fav bc 1. ZERO LEFT GENOS TO SELF DESTRUCT AFTER THEY COMBINED TO FORM THE FUCKING JET HE WAS JUST LIKE lol bye SO LIKE if he left him to die that’s super hard for me to forgive and ship grrr 2. Disregarding the manga’s canon and looking at the wc, while I love the little trip they went on where Zero demonstrated his abilities and helped Genos kill monsters, it’s super sus. He knew alllll of this info on Metal Knight and was super supportive and understanding when Genos said he needed time to think. Like,,,what are his intentions? We know so little about him—is he trying to trick Genos or was he being sincere? THAT STUFF ASIDE, they’re a really fun ship. They’re both huge fucking nerds and can keep up with their talk on robotics for hours, they’re both cyborgs so they understand each other’s pain, and they’re both super cool and angsty. I think they could really settle into a deep bond that can go platonic or romantic, just depends. Genos needs more ppl in his life so hell yeah! Plus, he can really let go with Zero bc they don’t have that teacher/student relationship and Zero, if he’s really a sincere and kind guy like in the wc, can be there for Genos and listen to him. Don’t have much to say on this ship other than @wellthisisembarrassing makes GORGEOUS art of them! 6.3/10
Webuiko/Suiko x Webigaza: YEAH I KNOW THEY HAVENT INTERACTED IN CANON AND WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM BUT HEAR ME OUT. Webigaza—cool af determined cyborg idol who’s surprisingly down to earth when talking with Child Emperor. Suiko—sassy and honest fighter who doesn’t take shit and is very passionate. Suiko would go to talk to Web then immediately freak out bc aaaa she’s way prettier than she thought, she can’t do this! Web would have to gently encourage Suiko to talk and at first is like ‘ah man, must be an adoring fan, ugh I’m so tired. At least she’s hot’ but when Suiko snaps out of her shyness Web is like oh! She’s super cool wtf. Always bump into each other during fights and help each other get fixed up, Suiko using her muscle power to lift Web’s pieces (and give Web a great view of Suiko’s muscles holy SHIT) and Web would patch Suiko up. Not to be stereotypical, but they’re def a masc/femme couple. I love the idea of this ship soooo much and I really hope they interact! 6.6/10 only bc they haven’t met 😭😭😭 look them up on here! There’s some great art of them by a few blogs
Dr. Kuseno x Bang: pretty sure @baldyborg came up with this one! Super cute. Just two old dudes finding a nice friendship in each other, maybe after Bang helps carry Genos to Kuseno’s after a day of fighting. Bang would find Kuseno to be a very cute little nerd man and would be sooo impressed by Kuseno’s mad scientist skills. Kuseno would be super impressed when seeing Bang in action too. They’d prob talk as soon as they meet each other and Genos would be in the background like you guys it’s been an hour, please fix me I’m on the verge of death 🧍🏻Bang would give Kuseno advice on training techniques to teach Genos and advice on making his bodies more martial arts ready or sum, meanwhile Kuseno would give his take on how to be kinder to Garou so that Bang would learn to repair the relationship with a gentleness he’s seemingly lacking (yes I’m talking about the chapter where he and Garou start fighting and Bang is just not doing enough to reach out to Garou, he’s being a callous old man! So yeah I’m still mad about that). Genos and Saitama would prob be out on a date and Saitama would be like oh theres Bang, wonder what he’s doing? Then Kuseno would walk up and kiss Bang and Genos and Sai would be shocked like SIRS 👬 Genos would tell Bang he doesn’t need another adoptive dad and Bang would be like....ok.... I see them retiring in a cottage together and Bang would become a huge softie. Yes I’m actively ignoring chapter 141 of the wc, shut up. 7.6/10
TankTop master x Mumen: they have a nice friendship going on in the manga right now! Just bros supporting bros. Tank is the picture definition of a muscly himbo and Mumen is his cute passionate bf. Also workout buddies af!! Don’t have much to say other than pretty good ship, just not a fav. 5.2/10
To sum it up—
GenoSai: 2718873737839439/10, Batarou: 11/12, SonFlash: 10/11, KingSai: 10/10, FubuPsy: 9/10, Fubuki x Mizuki: 8.8/10, MumenSai: 8.4/10, ZombieMask: 7.9/10, Dr. Kuseno x Bang: 7.6/10, Speedal: 7.4/10, OneZon: 7/10, Webuiko: 6.6/10, DemonKnight: 6.3/10, Okamaitachi x Bushidrill: 6.1/10, TatsuKing: 6/10, TankTop Master x Mumen: 5.2/10, Mumarou: 4.3/10, FubuSai: 4/10, SonSai: 3/10, Genos x Sonic: 1.3/10, TatsuSai: 0/10, anyone x Puri: -1283828319833468282/10
If there’s any ships I left out, it’s bc I don’t know them, don’t wanna talk about them, or just don’t have an opinion strong enough. Also, I know there are some poly ships like Genos x Saitama x Fubuki, but I’ve read only one fic about that (it was pretty good, here’s the link https://archiveofourown.org/works/5406992 ) so I don’t feel like talking about it. Hope no ones offended! All my opinion here :)

For a batfam prompt: Dick as Nightwing, fear toxin, and Bruce?
Dick was in the middle of trying to stanch the bleeding from his nose when his comm started beeping in his ear. He sighed at the terrible timing and quickly wrangled off one of his blood coated gloves to receive the call. 
“Talk to me,” he said, voice sounding high and distorted as a result of pinching his nostrils closed. 
“Whoa,” Babs said. “What the hell is wrong with your voice?” 
“Got a bloody nose,” Dick explained quickly. It was really uncomfortable trying to breathe and talk only through his mouth. He was definitely going to need a huge glass of water after this. “What’s up?” 
“The Owls are what’s up. I need you to get your tush to the cave ASAP.” 
Ah, fuck. 
“What kind of trouble are our freaky electrum filled friends getting up to?” he asked, already tugging his glove back on and booking it back to where he’d left his bike half a block away. He knew he looked fucking ridiculous running while holding his nose, but it seemed pretty insignificant compared to the idea of Talons running loose and slaughtering people. 
“Just one friend, actually,” Babs said. The lack of urgency in her voice made some of the anxiety in Dick’s chest dissipate. It also made him realize that they were talking about a member of the Court and not the Talons. 
“Oh yeah?”
“She was schmoozing it up at the Aparo Auction House with Brucie Wayne and a hundred other rich people.”
A feeling of disgust settled in his gut, his mind replaying the time he infiltrated one of the Court’s underground auctions. The same auction that had tried to sell off the crowbar Joker had beaten Jason with. 
A shiver traveled all the way down to his toes as he leapt over a puddle that was in the middle of the sidewalk. His bike was now in his sight. He could tell it was his because of the way its blue accents gleamed in the moonlight. 
“Looks like Scarecrow and the Court have been doing business with each other,” Babs said in that slightly distracted way of hers that Dick was used to hearing when she was trying to talk while rubbing at her eyes. It was something she did a lot since her eyes were always strained from looking at computer screens for hours on end. “Fear toxin was released through the vents at the auction. It caused an absolute shitstorm of chaos, as you can imagine.”
“Damn,” Dick said, straddling his bike. He was secretly glad he was wearing his thermal suit so he wouldn’t have to ride to Gotham on a cold seat. The only thing he was annoyed about was that he was getting blood all over his handle bars and helmet. “Is B okay?” 
“Yeah... about that...” 
The anxiety in Dick’s chest cranked back up tenfold. Irrational images of Bruce lying dead in a red-stained tuxedo flashed through his mind. He shook his head, mentally yelling at himself to cool it. If something like that had happened, Bab’s wouldn’t sound as casual as she did now. 
“He keeps thinking you’re dead,” she said, and for a second, Dick thought he misheard her over the sound of his tires peeling off down the street. “Red Robin says he keeps switching between rationalizing that you’re alive and thinking you bit it.”
“Huh,” Dick said, not really sure what to make of that. It wasn’t the first time Bruce had delusions of him or someone else dying while on fear toxin. Dick was just slightly surprised because it had been years since he was the sole subject of Bruce’s fear. He wondered if it was tied to Bruce knowing that a woman from the Court was at the auction. Bruce might have associated her with Dick in his mind since the Court had been after Dick for the last few years. 
“All I’m saying is that you might want to hurry home quick, Hunk Wonder. Robin and Red Robin are out distributing an updated antidote to the people who got dosed at the auction. B’s antidote won’t really kick in for another thirty minutes.”
“I’ll be there in fifteen.”
“It should take you longer than that,” Babs said suspiciously. 
Dick grinned under his helmet. “It would if I wasn’t making my way there like Sonic the Hedgehog on a caffeine high.” 
“D-Nightwing!” 
“Gotta go, O! I’ll catch you at Cass’s birthday party next weekend!”
Dick disconnected the call, knowing full well that Bab’s hated when he did that and was sure to give him an earful the next time they talked. But that was a problem for future Dick to deal with. 
The ride to the batcave was filled with a lot of weaving and a few angry honks directed his way. Dick was pretty sure he might have even shaved off his expected arrival time by two minutes. He was very decidedly not going to share that with anyone else except for Roy. Roy was the only one who would appreciate it without giving Dick the third degree about safety precautions. 
The cave was about as lit up as it could get when Dick’s bike came to a screeching halt next to one of the batmobiles. Alfred had probably turned on all the lights since they’d learned over the years that shadows and fear toxin really didn’t mix that well.  
Dick left his helmet on his bike and hurried over to the cot Alfred always had them lie on when they were sick or injured. Sure enough, that was where Bruce was currently sitting, his feet bouncing in agitation against the floor. He was already out of his batsuit and was dressed in a soft looking blue shirt and gray sweatpants. 
Bruce’s eyes were squeezed shut and his arms were wrapped tightly around himself, his knuckles white. Dick wasn’t really sure what the correct way was to approach him, but he figured letting Bruce know he was there was probably a good first step.
“Hey, B, I’m here,” Dick said, walking slowly up to his dad to try and give him enough time to work out what was real and what wasn’t. 
Bruce’s head jerked at the sound of his voice, his bloodshot looking eyes immediately seeking out Dick’s own. He looked... well, not okay but not terrible either. Mostly just pale and a little shaky. 
It was the way Bruce was staring at him that made Dick feel nervous all over. His eyes were wide and haunted looking as they soaked Dick up like a sponge. It was the kind of raw look Dick had only ever seen on parent’s faces when they realized their baby wasn’t coming home. 
It was Bruce after Jason’s death. It was Bruce after Damian’s death. It was Bruce after T—
“You want to tell me what’s going on in that head of yours?” Dick asked quietly, becoming more alarmed as he noticed Bruce was breathing so quickly that his chest was practically heaving. 
Bruce’s voice cracked as he murmured, “Dick?”
Bruce’s increasing panic didn’t make sense until Dick reached out his hand to comfort him and saw all the blood coated over his glove. 
Oh wow. He was a fucking asshole, wasn’t he?
He jerked his arm back to his side and whirled around so that Bruce couldn’t see all the dried blood on his face.
“I’m okay, Bruce. I’m okay. I got a bloody nose from patrol and... just wait, okay? Let me clean this off.” 
You’re such an idiot, Dick thought as he jogged towards the shower area, ripping off his gloves as he went. Once he was hidden from Bruce’s sight, he quickly peeled off his suit because, yeah, he found that blood had dripped on it as well. No wonder he was staring at you like you’d actually... like you were really...
He grabbed a clean towel from the pile they kept on a rack, and then he wet it and went about scrubbing all the blood off his skin until his face looked raw and the towel looked rusted. He was shivering by the time he was done. The cave was always cold and the water definitely wasn’t helping with that. 
Dick looked in the mirror and made sure there was no more blood on him before he went to their extra clothes supply rack. Weirdly, the shirts and hoodies from his own pile were missing. He barely restrained himself from rolling his eyes, knowing Tim and Damian had probably been taking his stuff again. Tim always forgot to replace the clothes he borrowed after washing them, and Damian usually hoarded the clothes in his bedroom. 
Bruce and Jason’s stacks were still pretty well stocked. Dick made a considering sound in the back of his throat as he looked between them. Jason would definitely blow a gasket if he realized someone had taken his clothes, and contrary to popular belief, Dick really didn’t like fighting with Jason. On the other hand, wearing Bruce’s clothes was kind of weird. 
Says the guy who wore his batsuit, his traitorous brain reminded him. 
Shrugging, Dick grabbed some red gym shorts from his own pile and a black t-shirt and hoodie from Bruce’s pile. He did end up taking Tim’s Nike slides because his own slip on shoes had been stolen by two kleptomaniacs.
By the time he’d gotten himself dressed, he saw that Alfred had returned from upstairs and was coaxing Bruce into eating an artfully prepared sandwich. Dick wouldn’t mind eating one as long as there was no sign of cucumbers in it. 
“Ah, Master Dick,” Alfred smiled, looking both happy to see him and also relieved that he wouldn’t have to deal with Bruce by himself. Bruce whipped around to where Dick was, and their eyes locked briefly before Bruce dropped his gaze like he was embarrassed about needing to reassure himself that Dick was actually there. 
“Hey, Alfie,” Dick said with a small smile of his own. He plopped himself on the cot next to Bruce, and before Bruce could protest, he grabbed Bruce’s fingers and forcefully pressed them against his wrist where his pulse was beating steadily. Bruce’s fingers trembled against his skin from the effects of the toxin, but he didn’t try to move them away. Instead, his shoulders relaxed into a more comfortable position, and he ended up leaning some of his weight against Dick’s shoulder. 
“You gonna eat that sandwich?” Dick asked Bruce who had closed his eyes and seemed to be silently counting the beats of Dick’s pulse. 
Alfred would normally intervene at a time like this and insist that he could go get Dick his own sandwich, but this time, Alfred stayed silent and watched them both with a knowing look. 
“No,” Bruce shook his head lightly. “You go ahead and eat it.” 
“Are you super-duper sure? Or just super sure? Or just duper sure? What level of sure are you?”
Bruce finally cracked the tiniest of grins at the game Dick used to play with him back when their worlds were a little smaller. Back when Casa de Wayne only had a population of three. 
Score, Dick thought with a smile of his own, feeling proud of himself. 
“I’m super-duper sure you can eat the sandwich,” Bruce said. 
That was essentially code for: I’ll throw up all over the floor if I have to eat even a bite of that sandwich. Dick took it as a sign to back off. 
“Well, as long as you’re super-duper sure,” Dick said, making grabby hands at Alfred for the sandwich in question. Alfred only looked mildly exasperated as he handed it over. 
Bruce’s fingers tightened around Dick’s wrist. “Trust me, I’m good.”
When Dick looked over at Bruce, he realized that Bruce’s eyes were open, and this time, they looked much clearer. The antidote seemed to have finally made its way through his system. 
“Good,” Dick said, playfully jostling Bruce’s shoulder. 
There was no stopping his surprised laugh when Bruce jostled him back.
