No but like actually. I'm still thinking abt that new form sonic takes on at the very end of final horizon. Calling it cyber sonic but idk if that's the official name if it even has one
I'm still thinking abt it. Like when sonic is flying up to the end and going in for the kill he flies in a very sporadic pattern. Like he zips in a couple different directions at first before going straight for the end
And when we get a closeup he's lunging at it with his teeth bared like an animal. His teeth are noticeably sharper than in normal form too
It's so. Interesting. Like he's there for only a short period of time and yet there's quite a bit of personality there. I can't stop thinking abt it

people think i'm "rude" for being too blunt/too honest but if i took some kind of uncontrollable truth-telling serum i would be actually suicide-inducingly horrible to be around. i'm honest but trust that i take care to be much more polite, fair, and controlled at most times than I want to. you could not take 5 minutes of me blurting out everything that goes on in my brain in gruesome detail, especially pertaining to You specifically. kindness and courtesy are neither a weakness nor proof of some inherent purity. they are a bore of a chore. and while it is an incredibly irritating chore it is required in order to exist (less) hassled by society.
idk. it's truly annoying to spend much effort and energy on all of everything alone. and after accepting no help will come your way, no ackmowledgement or reward for your work comes either. and not only. instead comes punishment. punishment for the grave sin of not being good enough at pretending like i love small talk and not being good enough at kissing ass and not being good enough at neither keeping my head down and doing nothing nor making waves. not being good enough no matter which way you turn, what weight you pull, how much pain you opt to ignore in favour of pushing onward. there is no prize, no safe space, there is only the anger in the meaningless and base fight to survive. hatred, death, despair, the deep wells of agony. and within it all a part of you screams itself hoarse and then quiet to break the dam. at such high capacity, it doesnt matter of its toxic sludge or just water. "just water" kills everything in its path. tsunamis, typhoons, tropical storms, rainstorms, deadly hail... a little bit builds up and in the right place it can be cried out, or redirected, or simply evaporate in the warm, kind, invigorating rays of the sun. but what then if there is no place for that kind of thing. you are the river above a city and you grow and you grow and come the next storm you may just flatten it all to nothing with everyone inside. the dam allows no space to move or grow smaller. you grow so big you don't know if it's even a river anymore. what you are is some strange unnatural body with a riptide so intense it rivals the wildest ocean tides.
i remember the time i almost got swallowed by a storm riptide clearly. it took just a touch of the water and i am being pulled by a force stronger than anything i have felt before or again, something wild and so much bigger. a storm that no longer wants or has any purpose or even one clear cause... without reason, it doesn't *want* to destroy ships and tug people to their crushed deaths. no. it just-- will. it will do that. it has no will but it will kill you. it will destroy everything. what a beautiful terror. but why in me. tugging tugging tugging. sometimes i wish my weak little kid body got seized by the riptide and that i could not break free at all. that would be an epic death.

Another AU idea:
Genos and Saitama never meet before joining the Hero Association. Genos joined shortly after it had started—he was sought out by the H.A. and, realizing he could use the benefits they provided to find the Mad Cyborg as well as fighting for justice in general, he agreed. Saitama joins after about 2 ½ because he happened to hear other heroes talking about the H.A., asked about it, and decided to join. Why he joined?
It's because he's a massive Demon Cyborg fan.
Ever since he found out who he was, he though he was the coolest hero ever. Sure, the guy was younger than him, but goddamn, he was badass as fuck! With his Machine Gun Blows and his Incineration Cannons- he was just so amazing. And he inspires Saitama. There's not much content of him out there, the guy isn't on social media much (he only posts things once every few weeks, if that), he doesn't do photoshoots or signings or interviews. He's just a hero wanting to be a hero. And fuck, does that speak to Saitama’s soul.
So Saitama joins. He does his heroing things. Incidents like the Deep Sea King encounter and the Meteor incident happen, but Saitama and Genos aren't together for it. So rumors spread like wildfire, and because Genos isn't there to dispute any of it... he believes it when he hears them. And he hates Caped Baldy for it.
Faking heroic deeds, stealing credit, causing hundreds of millions of yen in damages? Just who the hell let him join the Hero Association?
When they meet for the first time, it's due to a battle with Mosquito Girl. Genos was fighting her, got his ass kicked, Saitama saw, defeated her, the whole shebang. Saitama saw his favorite hero of all time about to die and saved him, so he's reeling, even if he doesn't show it. (His emotions are dulled, and even more so because of the non-stop hate he's been given for the last few months and having no emotional support).
But Genos? His disdain for Saitama is fucking with his head. Cuz how did he do that? And why was Caped Baldy here to begin with? Was he trying to steal credit again? But he just saved his life. What's going on? What just happened? Did he weaken the monster girl and he stepped in for the final blow or was Caped Baldy really strong?
Eventually his hate wins out and he snaps at Saitama. Tells him his "plan" to steal credit for popularity and rank-climbing won't work, how it's disgusting that he does that. He tells him that saving him won't win him favors or respect from anyone.
And as he goes on and on, Saitama's wide and glittery eyes go dull and flat. Genos almost stops talking when he notices, but he's beaten to that when Saitama suddenly asks if he's okay again. When Genos says yes, the bald man turns and walks away. Genos feels a small pang of guilt for a reason he can't place, but he shakes it off and waits to get taken to Kuseno's lab for repairs. He thinks about the interaction (if it could even be called that) the entire way there and throughout the entire repair.

Yea! Fae elves are the best. Elves that look vaguely human shaped but could never be mistaken for humans, elves who are uncanny in their voices, in their movements, who can move on all fours and mimic bird cries perfectly…
-@outofangband
elves never quite look right standing up straight. their fingers and toes are long and prehensile, designed to pick through dense dark forests rather than run across the plains, and their bodies twist and curve to a degree almost impossible in humans. their speaking voices will occasionally hit notes just outside of human hearing, they can go completely still and silent in a fraction of a second, and they're never entirely comfortable out in broad daylight, no sheltering trees between them and the sun
if you look at them from the right angle, they move a lot like orcs

actually really grateful that i'm writing the climax of firewatch au during nano month. the climax + ending of any fic is typically the most difficult and i'd normally spend a lot of time worrying about how to do xyz to the point where i'm hung up on scenes for ages. but i'm powered by enough spite and determination to succeed in my self-set challenges that it might power me through writing it anyway
