Surge doesn't look cool or appealing to me at all, she just looks like a combination of silly and ugly that made me feel like I shouldn't take her seriously
Her design is so ugly to me
That stupid ass black splotch clashes with the yellowish-green of her fur and the yellow of her clothes, it should have been made dark green
or better yet, no stupid black splotch, give her black eye markings! She's supposed to be punk, right?
Her teeth are so dumb, peak 3edgy5me, how did she get them? Was she born with shark teeth? Did Sonic's DNA give them? Did Starline decide to change her teeth to make her look more menacing? I only know that it's such a lazy way to say "yo she's evil", same for Scourge, it's as cliché as giving your villain horns, and my god Thomas Rothlisberger draws her mouth in such an unappealing way
Tumblr media
Her clothes are a punch in the eye, you can't tell me that running around in those poofy pants is comfortable, also why poofy pants? Why one round element in her triangular, jagged, punk-inspired design? Why not shorts, or form fitting pants like in one of her concept designs?
What's the point in Riders-style gloves? What's the point in wings on her shoes? They do nothing but clutter her busy design
Her metallic accessories are also overkill but at least they have an in-universe explaination. I'd personally just limit myself to rings and those things under her shoes, since she mainly uses her powers through her hands and feet - unless you're telling me that her ponytail sticks up because she electrifies it through her band lol. But her earrings, bracelets and studs on her shoes are too much.
Her spines are nice. They give her an unique silhouette, and without her ponytail she'd have very long hair, which is uncommon in Sonic characters but wouldn't be as out of place as Sally's human hair. This is the only element of her design that I can fully praise. Oh, and her tail, it’s unique and cute.
You know a character with a good combination of silly and menacing? Infinite.
Tumblr media
He has so many edgy design elements that it's hard to take him seriously, like the clawed gloves, the pointy boots with his own symbol under him, and of course the tragic one-eyed mask. And yet he also has big ears, long flowing hair and a fluffy tail. He's a canid like Tails. He's endearing to me.
And still his design isn't nearly as much of a clusterfuck as this one:
Tumblr media
And this is an artist that can draw her well. Rothlisberg sure can't, and he was the main artist of IS. Bleh.

Prompt: linzin strategizing how to leave a party together
So, I read that as stargazing because, obviously, I'm stupid. Nevertheless, I persevered to get them out of this dull-ass party!
"I can just say I got my period?" She shrugged nervously.
"You said just two weeks ago! Even I know that isn't how it works. Besides, that doesn't get me out of here." The Airbender frowned.
"Tenzin, I'm running out of ideas here. Maybe if you did more of the thinking and less of the rejecting, we'd be going somewhere- anywhere that isn't here!"
"I don't know, Lin," Tenzin furrowed his brows in thoughts that just wouldn't click, "Can't we just say we're tired of this and have better things to do?"
"Sure!" Lin perked up, jolting Tenzin too into affirmation, "As soon as we find someone who cares that we have better things to do."
Tenzin slouched again.
"Should we just buckle under and dance or something?" He didn't quite hate the idea.
"Or we could just walk out without looking back." She shrugged again ignoring his idea, eyeing the door nervously.
They'd be made the moment they approach security and they'd be dragged right back in by their parents in a far more embarrassing manner than humanly possible. So leaving was a no-go.
"We could sneak out the vents?" Tenzin thought, looking around at the high walls and ceilings.
"That's actually genius!" Lin slapped his chest hard enough to bring his eyes back to her, "We just need to find the perfect one to fit us both and we're out of this shit-show!"
"Lin! Language!"
"Come on, airhead!" She dragged him by his sleeve.
Making their way around a hall full of people from one end to the other in search of the perfect vent was harder than expected. Between Lin's poofy dress and strangers, friends, acquaintances alike congratulating Tenzin on his tattoos, this task was far more tedious than the execution itself.
"Miss Beifong, Master Tenzin, how about one last dance to lead the others?" Someone pleaded kindly to Tenzin.
Lin rolled her eyes. Of course, he was going to oblige. So they shared one quick dance. Tenzin's hand nervously rested on Lin's tiny waist while she steadily descended into the grace that was called for. It was divine, to say the least, but of course, they had bigger fish to fry.
As soon as they weren't being watched anymore, they scurried away under the dim lights and after much travail, found a vent at the back that could potentially hold them both. Lin used her metalbending to unscrew to hinges and drop the covering grill, with a thud muffled by the sound of the music.
"Come on, airhead! Help me in." Lin whispered, shoving both her feet inside even though her dress restricted her.
"How do I? Um-" Tenzin fumbled, holding Lin's waist to push her inside.
And that's when he realized, he was holding her. He got a whiff of her vanilla-scented hair and that was it for him.
"Lin, maybe this isn't the way to go." He whispered into her neck for another sniff.
Why did he do that? He was mortified.
"Tenzin! I'm stuck! My stockings got caught in-"
"Hey, I got you." He whispered again, this time sliding his hand in to feel around her ankles in search of the hindrance.
Lin was holding on to his torso with a strong grip, anticipating her freedom as Tenzin grinned triumphantly at being the hero in this story.
He easily found the protruding piece of wood that got caught in her stockings and broke it with his bare hand. He then pulled it out and let it free fall down the vent as Lin brought her legs back out.
"So not the vents then." She remarked, bringing her knees in.
Tenzin offered out his hand, and she accepted it as the two of them stood up, back to square one.
"Lin," He started, confidence wavering, "I was thinking, you know since we can't quite leave, and we're both all dressed up, and-"
She looked restless. Get to the point, Tenzin! He scolded himself.
"So I was wondering if you and I could-"
"There you two are!"
Tenzin spun around, "Mom?"
"The party has long been over and we've been looking for you two ever since." Katara finally emerged in front of them, "Come on now, your dad and Toph have already left with all the kids. It's time to go home."
"But-"
"I thought you two normally hate these things and would be the first ones to leave," Katara smirked as the two of them followed behind her, looking to the floor.
"Unless, perhaps, I interrupted something," She suggested.
"Nothing, mother. We were just trying to escape through the vents."
"Tenzin!" Lin slapped his chest with the back of her hand.
Katara giggled to herself.
All in all, it wasn't a bad night. Tenzin wouldn't ever want to attend or leave any party without Lin.
