TW: Eye injury, facial scars

Here it is, a messy little demonstration of what I think Stu's face would look like after the events of the first movie if they had survived (well, more like a bunch of ideas hastily stapled together and digitalized). I took some creative liberties, like Stu only having injuries on the left side of his face due to trying to shield it from the TV and the pattern of the scars bc it looks cooler. I really can't decide if he should only have the scar cutting over his lips or just a whole chunk of his cheek missing and exposing his teeth lol (please open the image Tumblr's about to make this one extra crunchy with fries on the side)

And.... Here's Billy. He gets a participation trophy.

#if there's one thing I've learned from my years of being an edgy teen on the internet and looking at stuff I most definitely shouldn't see #it's that electricity wounds are fucking GNARLY. #like it just straight up explodes your flesh #i think the electricity coupled with the force of that big ass TV falling on his head must've just made his face go.... kaboom y'know #stu's mostly a good sport about it tho #he's a little bit self conscious but at that point I don't think Billy would let him talk shit about his own face #scream 1996 #stuilly #billy loomis #stu macher #scream fanart #billy loomis x stu matcher #latenightsundayblues art tag #tw eye trauma #tw face injury #tw scars

So I’ve been trying to capture the spirit of the Rockman.EXE anime by filling it with all sorts of enemies, and what would the Rockman.EXE anime be without Net Navis that appear for either multiple episodes or just one episode? It’s one of the best things about this franchise.

However, I’ve been wondering if when I should stop. The Cyber City Trilogy has a lot of original Net Navis (and game Navis not brought to the anime) that is enough to call it its own season. However...like in the show, most of them are based off of Robot Masters. When you look at the following, these Net Navis that appeared in the anime are not based off of any Robot Master at all:

BeastMan.EXE - Okay, we always wanted to say it was Slash Man from Mega Man 7, but then Mega Man Battle Network 6 kinda put an end to that... BlastMan.EXE -  Granted, he’s a main character in the fic, but in the games it was like...the first Fire-based Net Navi not to be based off of any Robot Master, mostly because Fire Robot Masters were a lot. BowlMan.EXE and MistMan.EXE - So I know the story behind BowlMan and MistMan but...yeah. Cache - Fuck you. CircusMan.EXE - We all wanted to say this was Clown Man. It’s bullshit this isn’t Clown Man. ColoredMan.EXE - How was this not Clown Man?!...Okay, well, I can kinda see that tbh CosmoMan.EXE - This dude was like...some big shit. And space Robot Masters were rare... DesertMan.EXE - This one was one of the most coolest Net Navi designs tbh. I’ve been talking with @pen-trosity about Navi designs, and he seems to be this constant source of inspiration for Net Navis we can’t get a good grasp of tbh. ElementMan.EXE - Okay THIS I feel had to be some sort of contest Navi. Never looked into it. Never liked him. KillerMan.EXE - THIS for sure was a contest Navi. This guy BREATHES gary-stu written all over the design (even though he’s not). GateMan.EXE - Yeah so like...we wanted him to be a thing for a long time but instead he was a bad guy. And he kinda sucked. But then again a lot of Meijin’s NetNavis were Contest Navis, so... FootMan.EXE - SPEAKING of contest navis, this guy was reused for every e-sports related shit in the show! JammingMan.EXE - Fuck you. KendoMan.EXE - Meijin. Not going into details. KingMan.EXE - Okay this? This guy was kinda cool. Also really fucking hard. I mean he only had a very limited appearance in the show, but still tho. And I don’t think he’s based off of King from Mega Man and Bass. SwallowMan.EXE - Also a contest Navi. LaserMan.EXE - So he was like this big thing in MMBN4 but like...one of the good original ones tbh. Meddy.EXE - Eddy? JK NumberMan.EXE - I mean, seriously. Anyone would remember a Robot Master as useless-sounding as this. PlanetMan.EXE -  HOW WAS THIS NOT ASTRO MAN?! RideMan.EXE - Fuck you. Serenade.EXE - I....look, let’s just leave this one alone for now. ThunderMan.EXE - Elec Man, Spark Man, Dynamo Man, Cloud Man, and Clown Man. 5 Electric-based Robot Masters before MMBN2, but not ONE OF THEM a Thunder Man? The most go-to name for an electric-based Robot Master? This one threw me for a loop when I first did research and I had to double check a number of times. VideoMan.EXE - Yeah, so.......yeah, this is one of thsoe obvious ones that was clearly designed to be a Net Navi.

So...hwo do you make an original Net Navi like this? I’ve been trying to make original non-Robot Master Net Navis for YEARS, and compered to these guys, they suck! But also...there is potential. My goal is to so far make an original Net Navi that can stand in line with some of these recurring ones, but so far...I can’t think of any...
