Awesome! That makes total sense.
Now, tell us about your organoid headcanons? Are they (along with much core-based life) basically immortal? Or just much longer lived than humans? What did organoids do before humans (live happily without invasives mucking it up?), and are there as many in NCZ, or are they dying/getting killed off? (Looking at the Dr D comic and Zeke and Shadow… what was it, killing your heroes, I think?) Do any surviving organoids in NZO remain unpaired to a human and would they consider that a matter of pride (like “I have not knelt to be a pet”) or would they even care? If there even is any…
ahhh I have a lot. I'm actually (slowly, between Actual Adult Responsibilities) working on pulling things together in a coherent format. which this blog often isn't. In the meanwhile, some of my existing posts: Organoid anatomy:
Tumblr media
+ Organoid anatomy blather post + A few more anatomy things +How the teleportation thing works +How the teleportation thing works, addendum
+a rambling post that talks about what Organoids get out of bonding to people
This is a crappy drawing of what an Organoid colony/nest looks like. But it's very sparse. I should do a better one.
Tumblr media
If you or anyone else wants I can post my not-prior-posted document about Organoid reproduction/sex but it'd have to be in a different post so I can 'community tag' it properly.
To answer your direct questions-
They're not immortal, they're just very long-lived. Their longevity is actually a large part of what started pushing Zoidian longevity to develop.
Very few wild Organoids actually ever died of old age because they'd generally be ousted from the colony (and killed by other creatures) the moment they showed any sign of age-related weakness.
They did die of old age once they were domesticated, usually after living several generations post-their-bondmate. They stay with and have strong affinity for the family group. (this is why Ambient and Specula can detect their partners' bloodlines, basically.)
Wild Zoids would have the same longevity, but with the exception of the small "critter" Zoids, wild Zoids of olde are extinct.
Modern Zoid (cores) don't live as long, because their living conditions are so unnaturally shitty. Nobody understands this, or understands that Zoids are SUPPOSED to live longer though.
Wild Organoids lived in terrifying colonies and were the apex land-based predator on Zi.
Then a domesticating-the-wolf sort of thing happened and, ultimately, wild Organoids became very uncommon while domestic Organoids basically overpopulated the place. (there's actually a story about the origin event for all this, I have a post with it somewhere but couldn't find it at a glance, I've been working on a piece for the pdf about it, this will prompt me to work on it more I guess lol)
Wild Organoids were completely wiped out by the Death Saurer/Death Scorpion event(s) and what followed. Almost all plant life on Zi was destroyed, leading to almost all ecosystems breaking down and most things (including wild Organoids) starving to death.
It also made, yanno. breathing difficult.
By CC/GF, things were very much WYSIWYG. There were literally only four survivors. Other Organoids had been found, but many were accidentally (or intentionally) killed (as shown in Worthless)
Tumblr media
One and Zero are my OC Organoids, and could very technically be counted during CC/GF times but… only very technically.
They're basically "the Organoids from the Berserk Fury and Liger Zero" - Zeke and Zero are the Organoids featured in Kill Your Heroes:
Tumblr media
Shadow is only shown briefly in No Future and Legacy:
Tumblr media
(and Pantheon but we're not there yet)
After Raven's death, Shadow just hangs around Ryss and the Geno Breaker.
In KYH we also see Zeke get Fucked Up(tm), so… in NC0 times there's just Zero, One, Specula, Ambient & Shadow around.
The only unbound Organoid is Shadow. Specula's still with Ryss, One's bound to Vega, Zero's bound to Bit, and Ambient's bound to Brad.
Bonding is very serious business and it's less a "pet" thing and more a "consent to sharing each other's lives" thing - the partners MASSIVELY influence one another.
Shadow just refuses to bond to anyone again because he's terrified he'll forget Raven. Because he knows he forgot his original Zoidian bondmate.
Ryss really wanted him to bond with Albion (and Albion did too), but Shadow refused. oh fun fact that I don't think I've mentioned anywhere here but: Shadow is, and has been, keeping the Geno Breaker alive by sharing its own energy with the Zoid. The Breaker, despite being evolved, is still trapped in an artificial chassis and can't "eat" properly. With no actual Zoid fuel available, Shadow sharing energy with the Zoid is the only way it stays fed. If you'll remember, it was very intensive and stressful for Shadow to fuse with the Breaker - that hasn't changed. The reason being though is because the damn thing is HUNGRY and wants to take, take, take from Shadow. So the duration has to be limited. (hi does it sound familiar? it should.) This is one of many reasons Shadow is grumpy (and hungry) a lot.

Digiweek Day 5: Crossover x1
@digiweek I have two crossover pieces for day 5 of Digiweek because … because honestly everything I write is basically a crossover
This is for my current Zoids X Digimon x Beyblade fanfic on FFN which you can read here:
Excerpt:
They set out at daybreak, just as the twin moons of Zi were beginning to dip beyond the horizon. Thomas’s route had them crossing into Imperial territory via Fire Bridge and then heading south from Dragonhead base. It would take them just over eight hours to reach the General’s research site once they had crossed into Imperial territory.
The interior of her Blade Liger’s cockpit was a far cry from the cramped cockpit of the Pteras they had flown to Red River in. With the Liger, Steph had travelled from New Helic city to the Gurreal Plateau in the far reaches of the Empire and the cockpit was one of the most familiar places she had been in a long time. It no longer sported the outdated console of the obsolete Shield Liger it had once been - instead, the combat systems and computer systems had been heavily upgraded and modernised by Dr D prior to the Deathsaurer battle. Among the upgrades had been a state of the art radar and digital communications.
For the most part, Matt remained silent throughout the journey, occasionally advising them to adjust course when they’d drifted too far south.
“Ishida, what’s the top speed on that modified Zaber Fang of yours?”
“Two hundred and eighty,” was the curt reply from the Zaber Fang,
Alone in the cockpit of her Blade Liger, Steph felt herself grin. The standard top speed for a Zaber Fang was around two-hundred and forty. Clearly Matt had made modifications to more than just the zoids artillery.
“Wow,” she heard Van exclaim excitedly. “I’m pretty sure Colonel Schubaltz’s isn’t even that fast.”
“What do you say to an old fashioned drag race?” he proposed eagerly.
“That sounds like a great idea,” Fiona chimed in. “I’m sure Zeke would love that!”
“Thomas can be the judge,” Van suggested. The Dibison was well known for its impressive fire power, but it left much to be desired in terms of its top speed.
She heard Thomas’s huff of annoyance. “We’re not out here to have fun,” he reminded them.
“Spoil sport,” Van grumbled, and Zeke echoed his disappointment with a sympathetic growl.
Their bickering continued back and forth until Matt finally interrupted them. “I actually wouldn’t mind a race,” he said. “I’d like to see the Liger MS in action.”
“Steph, back me up here?”
Steph hated to gang up on Thomas, but a race did sound like a fun idea, and she could already feel Storm’s anticipation building. The organoid was incredibly competitive, and beating up on the new recruits at the academy was only entertaining for so long…
“I could use the distraction,” she conceded, and smiled at Van’s childish whoop of excitement.
Steph peered though the cockpit of the Liger and into the distance. Drag races were traditionally run over a quarter-mile - approximately four hundred meters.
“See that rock formation over there?” She marked the position on her radar so both Van and Matt could see. “That’s a quarter-mile from here.” Outside her cockpit window, Van’s liger came up level with the nose of her own, and on her opposite side, she saw the Zaber Fang draw close.
“Sounds good,” Matt agreed.
“What do you say, Thomas?” Fiona asked sweetly.
“Fine,” the Imperial captain grumbled. “BEEK, give them a countdown.”
The AI buzzed excitedly and the words “Ready” and then “Set” flashed across Steph’s comms. A barrage of missiles signalled them to go and Steph felt herself thrown back in her seat as Storm launched the Liger forward.
Van was first off the mark - the Blade Liger’s larger frame and longer legs had allowed Van a decent head start with the first few strides - but larger also meant heavier.
“No you don’t,” Steph muttered under her breath, and Storm rumbled her agreement. Engaging her zoid’s primary boosters, she was easily able to close the small gap between them. Over a long distance, she knew the other Liger was faster - but the MS was smaller, and able to reach its top speed far quicker. Her Liger nudged ahead of Van’s, and with a roar exhilaration, sprinted away. In the short distance, Steph knew Van wouldn’t be able to catch her.
“Take that, Van,” she exclaimed.
Kwyahh! Storm grumbled, and Steph turned around in her seat to see the Zaber Fang to her left, nipping at her heels.
“Not bad,” she muttered under her breath. She heard Storm grumble and the Liger responded by increasing the length of its strides and Steph watched the numbers on her heads up display climb.
269 … 270 … 271 …
The Zaber Fang matched her speed, stride for stride as she pushed the Liger harder. Only when her speedometer flashed ’283’ did she see the other zoid start to struggle. She gave the thrusters one last push and her spedometer clocked 305 km/hr - the MS’s top speed.
It was all over in less than ten seconds. Steph reached the rock formation first and skidded the Liger to a sudden stop, hearing the groan of brake pads being pushed to their limits. Beside her, lagging only half a second behind was the Zaber Fang.
Van reached the rock formation last and shot passed both zoids before he engaged the brakes. It took him over two hundred meters to bring the zoid to a complete stop, kicking up a wall of sand as he did so. His top speed flashed up on Steph’s display.
316 km/hr.
“Did you see that?” Van exclaimed excitedly. “The Zaber Fang almost had you there, Steph!” He didn’t seem at all bothered at having lost the race.
“Almost,” Steph agreed with a grin. “But not quite.”

I love New Century Zero! There's a lot of background stuff in NCZ that connects it to CC/GF, such as the presence of Organoids, or at the very least, Ultimate X Zoids, which are Zoids wherein the Organoid has completely fused with the Zoid's core itself. Also the wrecked Ultrasaurus that the final battle takes place on is also equipped with a Gravity Cannon just like the one seen in Guardian Force, suggesting it may be the same one that Moonbay commanded.
There's also the fact that in the Chaotic Century manga, the core of Van's Blade Liger gets transplanted into a Liger Zero, and Raven trades up to a Berserk Fury, and in NCZ proper Bit pilots an Ultimate X Liger Zero and Vega pilots an Ultimate X Berserk Fury, there's plenty of implications that suggest that Zeke and Shadow are fused with what may be Van and Raven's old Zoids respectively, hence why they were so hellbent on fighting each other, regardless of both Bit and Vega's attempts at reining them in.
Holy shit I had no idea about the whole manga thing??? I'm gonna have to check it out because omg???
tbh I haven't paid a lot of attention to the nods to chaotic century because I'm too busy laughing, I'd forgotten how funny new century zero can be but I'm gonna watch more attentively!!

Charms are about 2.5" wide by 2.5" tall, and have a metal clasp.

Purest Organoid (Zeke), from Saga DS
I've only ever dabbled in the actual sprites--rather than tiles-- in the world of Perlers, so I'm honestly a little disheartened by the irregular edges here, but there's nothing I can really do about it - that's just how they melted

Not 100% certain of the username here of lurkweed, who's been leaving much-appreciated comments on Ao3 - but wanted to note something re: the survivability of Organoids. Specifically ones without heads. tl;dr Core-based creatures have varying levels of requirement for their heads/brains. A Core covers functions that'd be considered part of a terran creature's nervous system: the Core covers the functions of the CNS (re: innervating the body and being the primary target for input/output), brainstem, and cerebellum. Their "brain" part is only analogous to the cerebrum, but even then most sensory and motor info is processed in the Core. Zoids have a lot more body to work with than Organoids and smaller creatures do. Zoids are able to isolate the Core in the face of extreme non-central injuries to protect it from damage and fuel+blood loss. Zoids' "brains" - especially manmade ones (the octagonal memory cells) - aren't actually that important to the Zoids' survival. Sure, it will lose its memory and personality if their "brain" is completely removed or destroyed, but as long as the Core's okay, a Zoid can regrow those and continue on. (In the case of manmade Zoids, this is just replacement & refurbishment, as regrowing things takes both a) a long time and b) the right environment - it can also result in very non-standard (read: difficult to service) configurations. This is part and parcel of the inhumane treatment Zoids are constantly subject to on modern Zi. They largely aren't acknowledged anymore as living entities.)
But Organoids, having evolved the unique inner-cabling network, actually lost the ability to internally cordon off their bodies in the same way. And their brains are far more critical to them functioning. The portions responsible for being able to bond & communicate are all there. A wild Organoid would likely die of shock just from being severed from the colony. The domesticated ones are hardier in this way. Realistically One and Zero are the only Organoids capable of actually surviving an extended loss of their head though. A normal Organoid, if helped very quickly, might be able to heal such an injury and survive. But otherwise, losing their head would be fatal (if not from shock, then because they'd quickly bleed out.) And since what happened was effectively the same thing as losing a head- Zeke as anyone knew him ceased to be in KYH - if his Core hadn't been removed immediately, it would've died in a minute or two. Zero? Just has (extremely severe) memory problems...

Can we get like, a ZOIDS reboot or something, that focuses on the bond between a pilot and their Zoid? 
I can remember as a kid, and during some recent (by recent I mean last year maybe) watching of some old Zoid episodes, that the Zoids were always meant to be alive and sentient, and yet apart from the Organoids and Liger Zero, who specifically had a system in them to make them more active, we really never see this. They just act like big vehicles that look like animals. 
I’m not even saying remove the aspect of them being used as specialized machines, just make them more, I don’t know, alive? Maybe the various armies don’t even acknowledge their sentient natures, and basically ‘break’ them into behaving, with free acting behaviors being seen as a flaw. That could be a whole thing in this reboot. Maybe they’re about to scrap some rebellious Zoid and a newbie soldier runs away with it instead.
I started Zoids with Chaotic Century, so maybe that spoiled me, as that show was really about a boy and his Zoid, and there was a good dynamic between Van and Zeke, and I loved the way the other organoids interacted with their partners, who themselves were interesting characters. I don’t know.
I just recall trying to get a friend into the show with me, and he really couldn’t keep his interest into it, and I think it’s because the Zoids themselves do very little, despite everyone in the show acting like they’re these giant living organisms.

OH!
On the note of more Zoids brainrot, apparently in the manga version of Chaotic Century/Guardian Force, there's a few changes made to things to make it more overt that CC/GF and New Century Zero take place in the same continuity.
For one, Van's Blade Liger evolves yet again into a Liger Zero, and Raven's Geno Breaker evolves into a Berserk Fury.
Also, Remember what Doc Tauros said in NCZ about what an Ultimate X Zoid was? A Zoid in which an Organoid system was permanently fused into a Zoid... and the only two Ultimate X Zoids we ever see in New Century Zero... were a Liger Zero and Berserk Fury. You know what kind of Zoids Zeke and Shadow, Van and Raven's robot buddies were? Organoids. No wonder Bit and Vega had so much difficulty controlling their Zoids every time they fought. Even when Van and Raven are long dead, Zeke and Shadow survived in some way and STILL have beef with each other after all this time.
SHIT I only have like the 5 first volumes of the manga so I had no idea about that. But I did suspect that the Ultimate X Zoids had organoids, I think it was mentioned like very casually in the spanish dub of NCZ
the idea of Zeke and Shadow living on without Van and Raven kinda makes me sad :( but I'm glad they survived and retained their personalities bc I love organoids,,,,, I kinda wanted to give Mia an organoid too when I rebooted her Zoids verse but she already has so much going on so I let it go
I really should buy the rest of the manga now that I actually have money to spend
