Green and Purple tk fic PART 1:

Ler: Green, Lee: Purple . No ships

Credits to Alan Becker

One time in Alan’s computer:

Purple was sitting on a bed reading a book and trying to figure out how his crown (made by 🥭)broke.

“Hmmm…… if only yellow was here”.

He said as he gently rubs the broken metal.

Suddenly he heard a BANG at the hallway door.

“Who’s there?” No answer “Hellooo?!” Still no response

The banging becomes louder in the short distance.

Until suddenly……

“I already said sorry!” Yellow rushed into the room with a loud CRASH ( R.I.P door lol ), on following green chasing after behind him.

“Get back here!”

“Purple save me! Green is gonna KILL me.” As he ran behind purple.

“Oh, what did you do again?”as he puts the crown aside.

Yet again yellow had blown up the “masterpieces” green was making for weeks with SALT TNTs ,and tried to blame it on Red, and now he is asking Purple for help.

“ *sigh* now now green just let it go for once, I don’t want you to kill anyone today.”

“Easy for you to say! He has been ruining my creations for months.”

Purple look at Yellow, and rolled his back at green.

“WOULD YOU PLEASE KEEP THE NOISE DOWN” TSC yelling in annoyance, ( are you from mr hopp playhouse?) and slammed the door with a bang.

“Wow we weren’t that loud”.

“ yea, wait where’s Yellow?”

“Isn’t he right th-……ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Again?!”

Turns out yellow had escaped and TSC was only here to get him out of here( slayyy ).

Green suddenly turns to look at purple’s broken crown. “Looks like both of our things are scraped.”

“It’s not scraped, just a little “banged up””

“Wait let me see, maybe I can fix it”.

Green crawled near Purple accidentally squeezing his hip.

Suddenly Purple made out a small squeak and titter.

“Huh?” Green looked at him with confusion, then with an evil grin.

“G-Green it’s not what you think”Purple began to look worried and scared with a weird expression on his face.

Without thinking Green pushed Purple on the bed

At that moment he new how screwed he was…( lol he in trouble )

Since you let Yellow leave looks like I can punish someone else, with my new learned attack ( where did you even learn it from) ……TICKLES!

Before Purple could even think Green started to squeeze and wiggle his hips with speed in return making him let out a high pitched squeal, but not enough to make his hard shell burst ( thank god that’s just a pun I made ). Until Green tickled his sides and ribs like a piano, Purple started to giggled and hiccuped all at the same time.

“PFFTT- Hahahaha *hic* Nohoho Gre-*hic*Greeheheen stohohop haha *hic* hahahahahaha *hic* hehehehe!”

“HA, I’ve got you now!”green almost laughed as hard as Purple. It was funny seeing him struggle like that. It’s not his fault he is was to ticklish for te opportunity . He struggled and squiggled, laughed and giggled, it was quite uncontrollable

“The First Born” - Parents AU(Poly color gang)

Second opens his eyes slowly, the sunlight touching their face, it was already morning They stretch and feel two arms around their waist, it was Green! They look around and remember that he was sleeping with the others. Purple was covered with Green's blanket beside him, Blue was right on the corner of the bed almost falling over. Some blankets were empty, Red and yellow should have been up and making breakfast. Second smiles gently pulling their beloved Green's arms away, they sigh still sleepily and kiss their beloved's forehead, "good morning Greeny..." They say with a smile and get up from the bed, What a big bed, it fits more than two or three people in it and is quite comfortable. they leave and take his yellow jacket with lightning design (it was a gift from Red), Second leaves the room and goes to the kitchen of their house.

Context, Second and the rest of the color gang have been together for a few years, so much they've been through, and everyone is so happy together. MT decided to live on his own with Jacob a few years ago since they got together. And now, the six lovers live in Stick City, Chosen and Dark live nearby but in theirs after their wedding took place a year ago. Second is very grateful to them for teaching them to control their powers. So much has happened, now they feel comfortable, but their reputation and that of partners is pretty big in the city too, which can be tiring at times. Green stars in charity music concerts, Blue is helping a tree replanting group, Red has become the best arena fighter in town, but remains the sweetheart that he is. Yellow has won awards for his genius inventions and Second, being a prodigy of the Chosen One, has become the target of numerous attacks over the years for his unrivaled power. And Purple, well, they and their father have reconciled and have a better relationship, a certain respect between them. All this, and still manage to be happy and ignore the lows and enjoy the highs. So many memories and so many things happened between them, but Second was just happy to be with the people they love so much in life.

“Good morning!" They say arriving in the kitchen, "Good morning Sec!" Says Red making pancakes, at the stove wearing a pink apron, one side of Red's face had a scar on his cheek, As a result of their battles in the arena, Second didn't like this much, but Red didn't have much of a choice, deciding to agree to become a fighter in order to get stronger to protect the ones he loves. Second sits in ther chair still sleepy, Yellow places a plate of warm toast in front of them, "Good morning Second Coming." They say with a tender smile kissing the hollow head's forehead and sitting in one of the chairs to the side working on a small device on the table.

"One of your inventions?" Second asks picking up a fork picking up the toast and dropping it quickly back on the plate because it's too hot,"Toast just came out. And no, it's a new upgrade to my command gauntlet." One of their best inventions, a robotic gauntlet made from the circuits of the command block, Created by Yellow to help be a valuable element in battles if needed. "Yelly, don't use that anymore! We don't have any more problems or dangers affecting us." They put their hand over Yellow's who looks at them. "Do you really think that I, Yellow, won't be on my guard?" They accuse pointing the screwdriver in Second's face which deflects backwards, "I've already thought of a billion and seventy-two possibilities of bad things that can happen to us! That's why I say, it's always good to be prepared for anything!" Second tries to count by hand but simply gives up, "don't worry too much" they go back to working on the device. "How not?" They bite off a piece of toast, they smile at the crunchy, good taste. "orange juice?" Red puts a pitcher of juice on the table and a glass of juice for Second Coming, "thanks Reddy" they smile stroking red's hand and taking a sip of juice.

"good morning guys..." Blue enters the kitchen with his back bent, stretching and yawning, "good morning Blue" they greet him. He walks past yellow and hugs him from behind, "hey~" and He whispers in Yellow's ear in a c sensual tone, they blush quickly, With a short grunt they turn the screwdriver in their hand and the handle hits Blue's forehead causing him to walk away laughing and with his hand on his forehead, "Sorry Yelly!" He sits in his chair. Red and Second laugh as yellow huffs back to the device, "You kind of earned Blue!" Red sets Blue an omelet plate, "thanks Red!" He smiles already hungry and takes his fork and knife to eat. Red thermal to set the table, only Purple and Green were missing and he puts their plates in position, sitting in his chair to eat.

"So what are you guys going to do today?" Second asked with a piece of toast in his mouth, "I'm going to the community garden, there are some naturalistic matters we need to sort out." The one in blue says with his elbows on the table being pulled out of its surface by Yellow, "I'll be working on my gauntlet upgrade so I don't want to be interrupted!" Yellow claims not taking their eyes off the device on the table. Red sighs and takes the device from Yellow's hands and puts his plate back, "Red!!" They protest and try to take it back but Red puts it over their head, "You'll starve if you don't eat soon, Yellow!" He says in a serious tone, in the old days they didn't take Red's serious face seriously, but now he was taller than Yellow which was very different in the past. Yellow huffs and sits with her arms crossed, "What Yelly, he just wants you to feed yourself well!" Blue laughs with a piece of the omelet on her fork, "Here, this is delicious!" He says holding the omelet close to Yellow which he sighs and eats, "you know what..." They pause, "this is really good..." And smile sincerely. Red looks satisfied and places the device on top of the counter.

Red sits in the chair again and takes a deep breath,"well, you know that the tournament of world fighters is coming in a few months, right?" This seems to annoy Second and Blue who stare at each other and pin Red," I know you don't like it, but I've already been named the town's representative, well, at least one of the sevens..." Second looks at their hand, circling a spot on the table uneasily. “They already have six, why do you need to join?" Blue asks, the one in red sighs looking to the side, "I... Look..." He can't explain putting a hand behind his neck, "It's complicated..." Blue doesn't look convinced, frowning, "Complicated, or you just don't want to talk about it?" Blue crosses ther arms, leaning back against the chair, "Bluie, don't start It Again..." This wasn't the first time they had discussed this. Second, they stop circling, trying to open their mouths but not being able to say anything, they feel an urge to say something but the words just won't come. AND They press their fingers against the wooden table, closing their eyes trying to ignore their argument in which they could barely hear anymore, lost in their own stressed thoughts.

“Stop fighting you two!" The four look towards the entrance. Green, with their arms crossed, and Purple, with a disappointed look, were standing there staring at them, that was enough to make the two of them sit in the chairs while Green and Purple sit in theirs. "We heard everything from the second floor! You have to accept that this was Red's choice! And Red, you have to understand that we don't 100% agree with your choices, but we love you!" Red and Blue feel somewhat self-conscious. Green was always the voice of reason, "Green is right," Purple says walking past Second and putting their hand on their shoulder, “Just look at Second Coming, they're clearly not comfortable with you fighting!" The other three look at Second Coming worriedly. "N-no need to involve me!!" They shake their hands, not wanting to get involved. "Sorry Red... I just worry a lot about you..." Blue says lowering ther head with a fist on the table. Red smiles and places his hand over Blue's, "I apologize... I know you don't agree with this... I just want to get stronger to protect you, I love you so much..." He puts his other hand over his, Blue smiles, everyone smiles. "Great, no one else is fighting each other!" Green puts his arms around them both smiling, "and if you fight again and make Second uncomfortable, I'll break your teeth...” Blue and Red laugh nervously, Green laughs and kisses the two of them gently on the cheek and sits next to Second and Blue.

"Are you better Sec?" Purple takes Second's nervous hand and sits down next to them. Second, for a long time, ended up showing symptoms of anxiety caused by stress. Every complicated situation that they didn't know how to solve stressed them out and that prevented them from getting some kind of hobby of their own, in addition, He suffered from anxiety attacks when he was alone for too long, a great fear of being abandoned or losing the ones they love. They go to a psychologist once a month, and they always prefer to accompany one of the partners wherever they go so as not to suffer attacks. "y-yes..." They scratch their arm nervously, Purple smiles gently at them and strokes their cheeks with a thumb. "Anything just say Sec..." Delicate Purple kisses Second Coming's forehead and sits down next to them.

________________

After half an hour, Yellow went to their workshop, Blue went out to the park where her group was waiting, and Red left not too early for the arena. After a few hours, Purple decided to visit their father, leaving Second and Green alone. Green had nothing to do so he was tidying the house and organizing everything, while Second was in the living room drawing in their notebook. After fixing everything Green had nothing else to do and sits next to Second just looking at the concentrated expression of them doing his drawings, he couldn't resist cracking a smile. Second realizes they are being watched and looks at Green, immediately blushing and losing concentration.

“Green, you're distracting me!" They laugh hiding the shame behind the notebook, "haha, sorry Sec, I just like seeing you so calm and focused!" He laughs scratching the back of his head He approaches to see the drawing, "what are you doing?" Second smiles and shows, it was just a sketch of a cat, Green smiles finding it very cute, "woooon, how cute!Don't show it to Red or he'll die of cuteness!" The two laugh together. Green looks into Second's eyes and puts his arms around their necks, Second puts his arms around de Green admiring his eyes, They both kiss Second moves their hand to Green's face, they separate looking at each other with a passionate look, Green puts his hand over Second's kissing him again. Green lays on Second's chest quietly, he puts his head on his chest but... Ah... It's true... Second's doe wasn't beating properly, that made Green look a little sad...

"Green?” Second realizes that Green was annoyed... "Ah? Ah, nothing is just..." He pauses, Second knew about ther heart being stopped. When he confronted Dark, he tried to kill them... But Second didn't die, but ther heart never beat again after that... Red, after discovering his ability to see the dead, can see that Second, even though he was immortal, didn't contain a heartbeat. When they found out about Second's heart everyone was desperate, but when they realized that it didn't change anything about what they loved about him, they went on with their lives with them. But even so, they feel an emptiness when they try to listen to their heart, and remember that they can't hear anything...

"I wish I could hear your heart like the old days..." He says in a sad tone again, Second hugs him comforting him. "Greeny... Don't be like that, I know it's weird, not being able to hear my heart sometimes scares me... Sometimes I think I'm dead or this is just a dream and I'm in paradise...” Green blushes looking at Second. “But then I hear your voice, I feel your touch," they put a hand on Green's cheek gently, "I understand I realize that, I'm alive, I'm with you, with all of you..." Second brings their foreheads closer to Green's, "I love you greeny! I love you, Blue, yellow, Red and Purple! You make me the happiest stick person in the world!" They say tearfully and hugging Green tightly which hugs him tight too blushing, "I love you too Secky..." They loved each other so much, more than anything, that love was strong, strong enough to create something incredible...

________________

Hours later, Second and Green were sleeping on the couch together, they must have been cuddling so much that they fell asleep in each other's arms. Sec opened his eyes and in a blur he could see something above them and Green, something small and... In a shade of martian green?? Second rubs ther eyes and looks more calmly, and they até in shock. It was a Stickling! The equivalent of a child, a baby?? “What the fuck???”This seems to have scared Stickling who starts to cry, this ends up waking up Green and Second covers ther ears, they don't like loud noises, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!!" They take the child in their arms and get up from the sofa very confused by the little one's presence. Green alidna was sleepy and rubbing his eyes, But when he sees the baby in second's arms, he takes a while before Freak out like Second, "but what's going on??? Who is this child??? Where did he come from???" The child starts crying again. "why are you guys screaming so much—" Yellow entered the living room and froze at the sight of the child in Second's arms, they pause to try to understand the situation, They look at Second and then at Green, both smiling nervously and sweating, yellow closes his eyes, puts his palms together, takes a deep breath looking at them with a judgmental look, "what the fuck...?"

________________

after an hour trying to calm the baby, yellow called the others to come urgently when they arrived they were in shock and didn't know how to react, red was dying of cuteness with the baby in his arms snuggling Them and making them sleep. Blue and yellow just watched while Purple sat thoughtfully on the couch. "so..." Blue pauses and looks at Green and Second who were sitting on the couch still confused and nervous, "did you have fun without me??" This makes Green Second blush with embarrassment, "NO!!! WHAT THE FUCK BLUE?!?!" the two yell in embarrassment, Red shisses them with a finger in front of their mouth comforting the baby who almost woke up. "Blue, nothing happened you pervert!!" He flicks Blue's forehead which he just laughs at. "Sorry greeny! But how else would this kid appear out of nowhere?" He looks at them maliciously. "I-i don't know!!" Second was scratching his hand, they were very nervous and sweating a lot, Blue notices that Second was a little agitated and sighs, "Sorry bebe. I'm just as confused as you are...” Blue puts a hand on Second's shoulder comforting them.

"well I think I have the answer to that..." Purple says and everyone looks at them, ""I think it's clear," they pause and look at the child and at Second and Green, "this child is yours !" Second starts to hyperventilate, "n-no! I'm not ready to be a parent!!" Blue and Green try to comfort them, "Calm down Sec! Look, you and Green are very close Sticklings are born from the strong and deep love between two stick figures! This is how I was born, this is how we were all bornOf course, stick figures with feminine traits can get pregnant, but with you, the child is born from the union between the two of you!"This makes me too confused for Blue, Second and Green, yellow was just listening to understand better, and Red was distracting taking care of the child. "My parents told me this when I was younger, they said this is how we Stick figures were born." They smile thinking about their mother. "That kind of makes sense!" Yellow points out, "The kid is a hollow head like Second, and it's a shade of green! Clearly they have the genetics of both of you!" They say looking at Second and green Second was still a little Panic and sits on the floor unbalanced with wobbly legs. "I can't be a parent!" they get very nervous and Blue hugs them caressing their backs with affection.

"Shhh, calm down Second, no need to worry..." Blue comforts them and kisses his cheek gently, "And also, technically he's our kid too!" Green sits next to Second and gently caresses their cheek. Second looks at everyone with tears wanting to spring from ther eyes, "It shouldn't be that different from taking care of animals!" Red says sitting in the armchair with the baby in his arms and with a gentle smile on his face. Yellow sits on the arm of the chair next to Red, And Purple kneel in front of Second and hold ther hand. “Secky, let's help you and Green take care of your Child, we are all their parents..." They smile at Second and he starts to tear up with emotion, they just love these five. "Ok…" They nod with a soft smile, Green kisses their cheeks and Blue their foreheads, it was too much love for Second. Red gives Second the baby in their arms gently, Sec watches the child sleeping snuggled, Tjey blushes smiling and admiring the child and hugs them carefully and gently so as not to wake them up.

"Now what's the name?" Blue asks with a finger stroking the stickling little hand. "a name..?" Second and Green look at the child, “they were martian green, Maybe Martin?" Green looks at Second, they smile admiring the child, barely paying attention to what he was saying. Green smiles, "Martin will be!" He lays his head on Second's shoulder smiling, also admiring the baby in his lover's arms. This would be the beginning of a new era in their lives. And that was just the first child!

I've always wondered is there a ship between sticks and Knuckles

stuckles or knicks? stickles? knuxticks?

opinions below:

ive never even begun to consider this, but ig it depends which knuckles you mean. most sonic boom characters are basically the same except for knuckles, so its kind of important to specify ig

boom!knuckles x sticks: this feels like the kind of ship a mutual would be absolutely crazy over, meanwhile i just sort of sit there and give a thumbs up. i dont think they have a particularly interesting relationship so if anything id imagine people shipping this because 'my two blorbos ☺️ yay ☺️' in which case that would be a ship for me.

i think with boom!knuckles being fairly gullible and sticks being obsessed with conspiracy theories, the two are absolutely making things worse for each other if left alone.

as for typical knuckles, i think theyd get on well! ish! both would be skeptical of each other the first time they meet (although i reckon if we DO get a sticks appearance soon, they'll already be friends anyway), but i think theyd get along. if anything, they'd have the opposite affect, with knuckles trying to get her to break down her theories and understand how they're untrue.

that being said, sticks would only ever be touchy-feely around someone who is touchy-feely, so i dont think they have sensual attraction between one another. perhaps in the right circumstances, sexual, but never sensual. i think i see them more as qprs, if anything.

#sonic #sticks the badger #knuckles the echidna #stuckles #stickles #knuxticks #knicks #no idea what to tag this ship as lol

Stirling, Stickles, and Fosters: Oh My!

Back from the woods and living my best John Foster life to rejoin the Blue Castle Book Club (h*ck yeah!!)

One thing that I’m mulling over as I reread these first few chapters is the theme of control. There’s two shades to this that are similar but have subtle differences: first, how Valancy is controlled, and second, how she lacks control and to what extent. Valancy is someone with no privacy, autonomy, or respect, through no fault of her own – and yet.  

When reading over these chapters, it’s obvious that Valancy is treated and thought of like a child. Her mother says she is childish in conscience (something all the more amusing to read when you know just how much Valancy ~frolics in her Blue Castle); her life is as routined as a child, even a prisoner’s; she’s even told to eat her crusts! She’s scolded about petticoats, she has a BEDTIME. She isn’t even allowed the dignity of her own name. Anytime she attempts to express her own autonomy, whether through asking for her own name or even just considering a different hairstyle, she’s made to feel ashamed or bitter over it—afraid. Her family (and society, considering she’s mainly discarded for being unmarried!) has repeatedly told her, whether aloud or silently, that she’s worth nothing, and what’s more, she’s wrong to think otherwise. They punish her for wanting to be a person. For example, we hear about Doss vs. Valancy, but we also learn just how many ways the family has inculcated fear in Valancy:

Afraid of her mother’s sulky fits—afraid of offending Uncle Benjamin—afraid of becoming a target for Aunt Wellington’s contempt—afraid of Aunt Isabel’s biting comments—afraid of Uncle James’ disapproval—afraid of offending the whole clan’s opinions and prejudices—afraid of not keeping up appearances—afraid to say what she really thought of anything—afraid of poverty in her old age.

I really love this passage because it starts with the immediate – her day-to-day life of snubs and being dismissed – then expands to the broader clan, then to the clan as a whole, then to her life as a whole, and then at the end crashes down to a harsh reality of what awaits her. It’s like a crescendo that ends with a thud. This is a statement that will probably appear in every post I make about this, but what makes these chapters so gutting is that Valancy’s fears are real. It’s LM Montgomery nodding to harsh realities—in this society, marriage makes a woman, and if not marriage, money, and if not money, well…

This fear breeds resentment. Hoo boy, does it breed resentment. And this is where I get to the second half of the coin, which is the extent of Valancy’s lack of control. These chapters are practically soaking in bitterness. See the following passages:

And yet Christine Stickles had once been desirable in some man’s eyes. Valancy felt that Cousin Stickles, with her broad, flat, wrinkled face, a mole right on the end of her dumpy nose, bristling hairs on her chin, wrinkled yellow neck, pale, protruding eyes, and thin, puckered mouth, had yet this advantage over her—this right to look down on her. And even yet Cousin Stickles was necessary to Mrs. Frederick. Valancy wondered pitifully what it would be like to be wanted by some one—needed by some one. No one in the whole world needed her, or would miss anything from life if she dropped suddenly out of it. She was a disappointment to her mother. No one loved her. She had never so much as had a girl friend.

She was one of the people whom life always passes by. There was no altering that fact.

The narrative distance here is basically nonexistent. This is Valancy thinking, and because it’s Valancy thinking, it’s true and false at the same time. Valancy has been under the thumb of abusive relatives her entire life; it’s unreasonable to expect her to have behaved any other way than she did. If you’re repeatedly stomped on, you’re going to be more than a little flat. It’s true that no one would miss Valancy. It’s true that life does always pass by some people. It’s true that Valancy is unneeded. It’s the very fact that these things can be true that makes the misery in these chapters so potent. Life doesn’t always have happy endings, and often doesn’t.

But taking into account this narrative distance and the broader themes of the book, it’s also a self-fulfilling prophecy. One Valancy is entirely faultless for, given her environment/childhood/family/literally everything about her life—but I’m stuck on the phrase, “There was no altering that fact.” That we know to be explicitly false and disproven by the rest of the book (I don’t think that’s a spoiler because, well, the book obviously has to have a plot). Valancy is in more than a bit of a rut, and one with well-worn grooves. What builds the tension in these chapters is how tight that rut is – from the reader’s current perspective and Valancy’s historical context, it seems pretty inescapable. What is Valancy to do if she can’t get a job, has no money, and less than zero prospects of marriage -- stuck between the frying pan and the fire? The answer to this question is what makes this novel so fantastic. Good God, Lucy Maud, you’ve done it again!

(My only other thought is: THROW THE RUBBER PLANT, VALANCY!! THROW IT!!)
