Eat your slop
dead/lock x Ratch/et, minor chubfic, petplay, pede licking
dealer’s choice prompt before I resume the others.
Primus can only imagine if anyone walked in and saw someone of his nature like this. Just what would his fellow Dela/tran doctors think? He was forced to his hands and knees, with a choke collar around his neck and a Decep/ticon towering over him.
They wouldn’t mistake this as foul play, for the medic’s engines were revving, and fans were running full throttle. His interface panels released the goods as soon as Dead/lock belted out his first order.
“Lick my pedes, you welp.” Dead/lock sneered as his one pede stomped on the lead, pulling his slave closer to the ground.
How much of this could his joints take? But Ratch/et did not hesitate to press his lips to that dark gray pede. With a strong desire to please, the tongue flicked out, starting at the bottom corner and ever so slowly traced along the corner.
It didn’t matter that said pede tasted of rusted metal, dirt, and grime of wherever the ‘Con traveled that day. Servo’s joined the mix, rubbing the other side of the foot.
“Ahh-Ahh!” A sharp crack rang through the air, and the doctor flinched. His flabby aft was slapped by a clawed servo.
That was going to leave a mark!
“Did I tell you to use your hands?” The standing mech chided, and the other shook his helm no. “I expect my pets to be obedient, especially if they wish to be rewarded.”
Ratch/et nodded, knowing better than to speak out of turn.
“Get on with it!”
The Auto/bot continued, fervently licking his glossa over the pede, placing kisses as his mouth traveled around the pede. Once removed, the other pede was offered, and Ratch/et immediately went to work.
“What a good little pup,” Dead/lock cooed, intently staring at the other mech worshiping his pedes. “Looks like you are finally learning your place, hmmm?”
Ratch/et didn’t answer. He didn’t stop sliding his tongue over the tangly metallic taste of the foot. He knew better. Plus, he knew what the reward was. Well, at least one of them. He had to pick it up on his way over.
It was a large order from a very good takeout place in Dela/tran. He picked up his favorites: homestyle meatloaf, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and fried cyberchicken. Of course, his love’s favorites were brought along, consisting of greasy burgers, fried lithium potatoes, spicey ramen, and hashbrowns.
And let's not forget about the desserts! Both mechs had such a sweet tooth—this was so bad that the medic picked up doubles of whatever treats he wanted because he just knew Dead/lock would try to claim them all!
No wonder both had started gaining some weight over the course of their hooking up. True, Dead/lock didn’t bulk up nearly as much as the medic- warriors needed to be in shape after all. ( Although Ratch/et had hoped the food would satiate the best and make him ditch the Decep/ticon cause.)
“Enough.” Dead/lock removed his pede and the tension on the leash. He walked over to the large takeout bags and began taking out the dishes and plating some of the food.
 The teeth of the choke collar relented, allowing the medic some comfort. He sat back on his pedes- he was not permitted to stand. But he anxiously awaited- he knew what was coming. He heard the takeout lids being opened. But the contents were being dumped? Why not just eat it out of the container?
As soon as his Master turned, the medic saw a huge bowl. With questioning optics, Ratch/et tilted his helm.
Dead/lock gave a crooked smile.
“My little pup hungry?”
Ratch/et nodded his helm.
“Well, despite your prior insolence, you shall be rewarded.” The bowl was placed on the floor. Looking inside, all of his meals were dumped in and mixed together.
Ratch/et gave a puzzled look.
“Eat your slop, pup.”
His belly grumbled- he was famished! And it was clear he was not to dine at a table tonight. Returning to his hands and knees, Ratch/et bent down and shoved his face into the bowl, eating like a lowly cyber-animal while his Master observed from above, cooing words of praise.
His engines revved even harder. Primus, the food tasted amazing! Even better was feeling Dead/lock's servo patting him on the helm before groping over his chubbier frame.

In line with the ask games. Do tell. 🍕 Favourite drinks and foods. I'm curious to hear how they match up to a Steiner noble who I fight alongside with in the Warsong Corp. It is because of him our command dropship practically has a wine cellar and massive oversized refrigerators. along with a top of the line kitchen and chefs to work it.
Speaking of which. What kind of housing situations do you have? Since you are Steiner I am going to assume a castle.
And what else do you speak speak besides German, persumably.
And if you had a musical theme, heroic of villainous what would it be?
(By: @wolf-among-mechs)
Well, as for food and drink, I'm certainly a fan of wine on social occasions, but for my own enjoyment I drink largely non-fermented fruit juices, and my diet is largely consists of a mix of quick-to-eat finger foods and extravagant banquet fodder. My favorite, however, is a dish from the Federated Suns they call Salzburg Steak. It's a ground meat patty in a brown gravy, and my chef makes it in such a way that it's simply divine. I don't have multiple chefs, but that's more of a practical security concern than anything else. It's easier to vett and keep tabs on one chef than a whole kitchen of them.
As for my home, there are several. There's the family estate on Mertangard, a lovely lakeside palace with all the amenities one can expect from one of the wealthiest families in the Inner Sphere, from sprawling gardens to a state-of-the-art holo-entertainment theater. If you ask me, it's a bit garish, but it was designed by my great-great-great-however-many-greats grandfather, and so it's kept an ostentatious eyesore out of tradition. There's also the summer home in orbit around Solaris VII, since the Marten-Steiner family sponsors a fighting stable, we've got year-round access. There's also the ship I reside on most of the time, usually in low orbit somewhere nice, warm but not too warm.
As for my linguistic education, I speak German, Star League English, Japanese (to facilitate relations with House Kurita), and French (one of the top members of the family's Solaris Games stable is a descendant of Algeria, and I often invite him for social events.
My musical theme would be something from an old Flat-screen vid my uncle gifted to my sister and I one winter. The song is called The Imperial Suite and it has always spoken to me as a grand march of power and dominance, something I could use in theme music.
I hope this was useful to you, and would welcome any information about yourself or your Steiner friend in return. Till then, may your investments prosper and your coffers not run dry.

SKB Short Story 3 - Chisel of the Mind’s Eye
summary of a short story published in Dengeki Bunko, vol 63. takes place between volumes 1 and 2. Contains minimal main story spoilers.
there is an intro page with the same art from v2′s cover, but there’s a fun little diagram about the 6 towers that we haven’t seen before. it lists each tower’s leader and what they consider virtuous.
Tumblr media
Fire: possessing beauty and strength Earth: possessing knowledge Gold/metal: possessing money Water: possessing artistic talent/skill Wood: being calm/unshakable (translated by eight for the fan server)
Bisco and Milo have made it to Shimane, traveling a deserted mountain path toward Izumo. Noticing rain clouds forming, milo asks if they should take shelter in case of acid rain, but bisco doesn’t respond.
He’s crying and sniffling while reading a picture book of Bunbuku Chagama. Milo pokes fun at him a little and asks if a guy with a bounty on his head is the type to cry at a folktale, to which bisco asks if milo has no heart (because the ending of the story is very sad)
It starts to rain while they’re bantering, and milo hurries actagawa along to find shelter. They come across a giant temple buried deep among the trees and tall grass, seeming abandoned. But despite being dark and empty, it’s surprisingly pleasant.
B: “Let’s start a fire and eat.” M: “I wonder though... is there really no one here?” B: “Heh heh... maybe there IS someone, like a pink-haired jellyfish with a worm in her stomach...”
A flame then sparks and bisco draws his bow as he jumps in surprise. Standing before them holding a lantern is a young girl who has her eyes closed.
The girl seems to believe at first that they are god(s) and apologizes for not being done with her carving of them yet. Milo hastily tries to apologize for intruding, and explains that they aren’t bad people and were just looking for a place to get out of the rain. The girl is quick to accept them as visitors, and brings them some worn-out cloth to put on the cold floor for sleeping. She then disappears into the inner sanctuary.
They hear a strange noise coming from the direction she went in and Bisco uses his goggles’ night vision to have a look. He spots something interesting and gives the goggles to milo so he can see.
What they see is a gigantic carving of a god. It appears to be a god of war, having a highly toned physique, 6 arms, drawing a large bow and firing 3 arrows at an upward angle toward the ceiling. They realize the noise they heard was the girl chiseling at it.
Bisco takes his goggles back and runs off to ask the girl about the statue. He climbs its giant form and meets the girl where she sits on its one arm. Girl: “Sir, it’s dangerous to be up so high. If you needed me, you could simply ask and...” B: “Nah, I was just thinkin’ you’re pretty talented. You make this by yourself?” Girl: “Yes. I began when I was 8, and have been working on it for about 6 years now.” B: “It looks cool, but I’ve never seen this god before. Where’s he from, and what’s he a god of?” Girl: “Well... I do not know. I do not even know his name, but he appeared in my dream like a divine revelation and gave me the desire to create a statue in his image. And so I have been working on it every day since, but...”
She points up at the god’s uncarved face. Despite the rest of the statue being so detailed, she hasn’t been able to carve a face for it yet because she can’t remember what it looked like.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling noise echoes through the temple and rattles the building. The girl slips but bisco catches her, then climbs onto the statue’s shoulder. Milo joins them.
A group riding giant spider-like mechs burst in. A thin man emerges from one of the mechs, asking where “Master Saresea” is, as he the high priest of the water sect, hylmaleo, has arrived.
The little girl shouts at them, saying she will not give them the statue and that there are probably plenty of other skilled sculptors who they could go after. H: “There IS no one else. That’s why we came all the way to this backwater temple for you. ... I'm an artist, I can understand a work’s beauty or flaws. I’ve seen many idol statues, but yours is on another level of skill, Sarasea. Carve my face into it, and give it to me as a Hylmaelo idol... I’ll give you money, men, whatever you want in exchange. You can even be one of my women if you want... I’d be interested to try fucking a blind girl.” He and all of his followers laugh and jeer.
Sarasea throws her chisel at the priests and it strikes hylamelo in the shoulder. S: “How dare you say such foul things in a god’s sacred domain! Leave this place at once!” H: “You bitch...! This is no god’s domain anymore. I don’t care, just burn this building and that little brat to ash!”
The followers start fires, but bisco shoots a number of arrows and the mushroom growth’s spores extinguish the flames. hylamelo and co. seemed to have not realized bisco and milo were there and are scared by the sudden rain of arrows that seemed to come from nowhere. noticing this, milo whispers an idea into bisco’s ear. 
From their hiding spot on top of the statue, bisco begins to speak in a low and booming voice as if pretending to be the god himself speaking. he and milo fire shimeji arrows at the followers’ feet, and they freak out again. “My god, it’s the voice of Enbi! We’ve incurred Enbi’s wrath!!” / “Everyone, run! If you die by his arrows, your soul will never be able to escape from hell!”
Hylmaleo tries to stop the others from fleeing, but then runs away in fear as well after seeing his spider mech ruined by a giant, red oyster mushroom.
M: “Hehe... that went surprisingly well. It’s kind of funny seeing a group of bad guys who are also incredibly devout.” S: “Did you chase off the water sect group? ... Perhaps you two really are messengers of the gods, otherwise--” B: “Like hell we are. This was just a convenient way to pay you back for lettin’ us stay the night. We’re just regular mushroom keepers. No relation to that god of yours.”
The next morning, Bisco and Milo are getting ready to leave. M: “I’m sure your statue will turn out great. We’ll definitely come back to see it when it’s done!” B: “If you keep waitin’, you’ll probably see that divine revelation or whatever again. But don’t forget his face this time. And ask for his name, too.”
Sarasea grabs bisco’s face and puts her hands all over it. bisco is so shocked that he doesn’t move for a minute, before suddenly jumping away from her hold. B: “Wh... the hell do you think you’re doin’?!” S: “May I... ask for your names?” B: “Our names?!” M: “That guy is Akaboshi Bisco ... And I’m his partner, Nekoyanagi Milo. Thank you, Sarasea. We’ll see each other again, if fate allows it.”
Milo pulls a still frozen in shock bisco onto actagawa’s back and they ride off. B: “...The hell was that? She just messed up my face... Did I do somethin’ to make her mad?” M: “She just wanted to remember the shape of it.” B: “Huh? Why?” Milo laughs and decides to not say anything more. 
They come to the end of the mountain path shortly after, and Izumo begins to come into view. 
Back at Sarasea’s temple, which is now quiet once again, she talks to herself as she resumes working. S: “Had that really been just a dream? He was so warm, like the sun...” She climbs up to the statue’s face and continues to chisel away.

Hi! It’s you, surprise!
Anyway, I’m so mentally ill over “the stars claim them” a d I love it I love it I love it. Ever now and then I’ll think to myself “hey, what’s a good fic to read?” And every time it’s yours.
It’s just like [image of cat eating a box] and just so good. It honestly might get printed out and bound into an irl book just so that I can actually bite it.
(I am working so hard not to get off topic)
I don’t think I’ve ever found it harder to explain my love for something with actual words. Your writing alone is incredible. I think I’ve already said this in a comment but I am constantly on the edge of my seat waiting to see what you do next, and you write all of the character so well.
Never before have I wanted this much to reach into a fan-fictional world and scoop out an oc with my hands and just hold them like a tiny little kitten. (Technically accidentally did that with a character anyway but ah well)
Plot aside, because I’m already talking characters, I love the cast you’ve chosen so so so so so so much, I love the diversity and headcanons. And I especially love the dynamics and interactions with each other. And the parallels, oh my goo the parallels in character pairings that pop up occasionally. (Lyf and Micheal, Tim and Grifter’s Bone guy (his name evades me), even just the whole vampire Gerry thing)
Which reminds me, you’ve managed to have at least one reference to wtnv in every book so far, is this deliberate or just art?
Okay, I could talk characters all day so let’s move onto plot now and I’ll ramble about individuals later. 300+ (or something) chapter slow burn my beloved. And then everything just tumbling around around it is just wonderful.
Lyf was just out here trying to live their best life and then things just kept happening to them over and over and over and over again, first the prisoners, then the train, then the prisoners again, then the void, then space, then Nastya, then death, then earth, then the spooks, then the mechs, then the spooks, then the mechs, then the circus, then the mechs, then probably some more spooks, then [see last three lines].
Poor inspector is in the washing machine of happenings.
And of course, gotta adopt a family along the way because, as Batman has shown us, the best way to recover from your whole family dying is to just adopt more.
And the whole chaos avatar screwing with all the other fear’s shticks is an incredible concept and I adore it. I also find it beautifully hilarious. Do you think Lyf could just rainbow people like they did Gerry to help them escape their entity? Instead of like, eye stabbing?
And the fact Lyf sees the fears in colours and one of the first people they meet in Gerry, who originally referred to them as colours in the show, is just fabulous. And then Lyf being all the colours is also marvellous.
(I feel like I’ve been going too long, am I going too long?)
There’s just so many little plot points that I adore that I can’t remember them all at once let alone put them in words so maybe I’ll just doom spam ask you a live rereading so that I get all the bits.
This story is my soul, my life, I am empty without it. Anyway, off to go read it again probably.
Thank you for writing, I love it so much.
!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I've really loved writing this story, and seeing other people enjoying it to similar levels is beautiful. And no worries about getting off topic or going too long-- I've written this story for over a year. If anyone's going too long here . . .
But anyway. Let's chat!
If you (or anyone else!) ever get this story printed out and bound, I would love to see it <3
I'm so glad you enjoy the writing and characters, too! I personally love my characters and try to let them guide the story as much as possible, so hearing that I write them well is fantastic. So. Thanks!
(And I get the feeling. I've literally made tiny knit dolls for some of my OCs along with my TMA and Mechs ones. Brenn and Juniper my darlings, for instance. And my Lyf, of course. That doll has now crossed so many state lines because I keep bringing them on road trips and the like with me. . .)
Character parallels too. . . yeah, there's a lot that can be said about the way characters parallel and interact and misunderstand each other, and I love writing them doing that. It's fun to consider, and I love it :)
The washing machine of happenings. . . yeah, that sounds about right :D
Heh, adopting a new family to cope with losing one is certainly a way to put it! Not sure how well that works, for Lyf or for Batman, particularly when said New Family also gets into danger, but. . . yep!
Could Lyf just rainbow people to help them escape from an entity? Likely! It would hurt a LOT, though, and it'd probably end up having consequences, you know? Whether it's that the person in question becomes a chaos magnet, or whether they'd be able to break reality too. . . yeah, that's an interesting one to ponder.
I love that, yep!
I'd love to see your thoughts if you do that, whether it's on here or on Ao3! Like I said, I've been writing this for more than a year now, and I really do love talking to people about it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts like this, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story! We've got some fun times ahead. . .

For a request could you headcannons on this scenario : Bulkhead is bitten by an unusual scraplet and starts developping a craving for metals, to the point of trying to eat his teamates.
I got really excited when I saw this so I hope you like it! And thank you for making a request <3
Wheeljack
He and Bulkhead were playing with the lob ball and all was well
Until it was Bulkhead's turn to throw it and he just kinda stared at it with confusion
Wheeljack asked him what's up with him when he didn't throw the ball back and just started picking at the scrap pieces that made it up
He said his processor feels kinda foggy and that he just doesn't feeling like playing anymore and then he left to his room in the base
But not without chipping a piece of metal off the lob ball and taking it with him
He chewed on it mindlessly while walking to his room and just went into recharge, ignoring the strange need to gnaw at the piece of metal
Bumblebee
Bee went to wake up Bulkhead for patrol when he heard a crushing sound coming from his room
The sound reminded him of a horror film miko made them watch during movie night but he pushed the thought aside
When he got to Bulkhead's room he was distraught at the sight in front of him
The door was torn open and pieces of it were missing and Bulkhead was nowhere to be seen
He thought of the worst and went to warn the others that their base might have been breached by the 'cons
But he stopped in his tracks when he rounded a corner only to find Bulkhead seated on the floor with bits of metal being crushed by his dentae
The walls around him were smashed and those which were merely broken showed exposed wires, some of were torn and were zapping the nearest conductive objects
Metal walls and pipes along them were getting electric shocks until it made its way to the lights on the ceiling and they flickered
The lights caught Bulkhead's attention and he look up to find bee staring at him with worry and fear painted clearly on his face
bulkhead's optics were a dulled blue like a scraplet's optic, not the bright aquamarine bee was used to and it sent a shiver down his spinal strut
the lights finally gave in but not before bee saw bulk get up to his pedes and bee and bulk were left in pitch black darkness until the emergency lights kicked in
and bee didn't know if he would rather have been left to the unknown or have to deal with the knowledge that bulk likely wants to do the same to him as those pieces of metal, but that was only a fear induced speculation it can't be true right?
unfortunately that fear was confirmed when the pulsing red lights flared to life around them and he saw bulkhead's hulking from looming over him and heaving with the effort of his cooling fans to keep him from overheating
bumblebee would have screamed if he could but all that came out was a prolonged beep loud enough to alert the team on the other side of the base
Optimus & Ratchet
optimus was talking to ratchet about how they found out that after their last mission to the arctic, a human research team had found some of the scraplets they froze there
he told him about how agent fowler had found some documents relating to MECH and how the research team was actually theirs
ratchet ignored an alert that popped up about an energy surge in one sector of the base in favor of listening to optimus, if its about MECH it can't be good and he needs to focus on that
they discovered the scraplets were of cybertronian origin due to the similarity they found in their alloy and the other info they collected after kidnapping breakdown
apparently they tried to reprogram them to become some kind of inhibitor parasite but the documents didn't elaborate on what they meant
but they would find out soon anyway because bumblebee came storming in rambling about a metal eating bulkhead
he told them about the destroyed door and the walls and the electricity short circuiting
at first ratchet didn't believe him but then he remembered the alert that popped up and turned around to face the monitor and go through the security cams footage
he saw bulkhead barreling straight towards them and was horrified at the state bulkhead was in
Arcee
She was watching the kids play a video game when she saw something moving in the reflection of the screen
She turned around to face the hallway just in time to dodge Bulkhead and keep the kids away from his path
He smashed straight in the TV and their couch
Miko is not pleased... But she's more worried about bulk to care about the TV now
Arcee sets the kids down and shields them with her body but she doesn't activate her blasters or pull out her blades cause she doesn't wanna hurt bulk
Right before bulk grabs onto Arcee he's pulled back by optimus and pinned to the ground, bee and wheeljack help keep him from getting away
They manage to get him onto the medical berth and hold still until ratchet can get a scan
He finds a scraplet latched onto him underneath his armor from their last mission to the arctic and removes it before it can do more damage, however he keeps it for research. Ratchet's not comfortable with how much MECH knows of cybertronian biology
When everything is settled down and Bulkhead filled in about what happened when he was out cause he didn't remember much of it, he apologizes profusely and promises to fix up the base as soon as he can
And since it won't be now cause the ordeal took a lot out of him miko suggested a movie night to calm everyones nerves
For some reason bee wouldn't let her pick a horror film
Omg I had so much fun writing this! I hope you liked it anon <3

DVA and Bridgette tonight queen 🤭🫶
IVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS SHIP LATELY OMG
Anyone else obsessed with mekamechanic you should read this fanfiction by The_Big_Oof on AO3
Anyways on to the headcannons :)
CONTAINS: NSFW further below
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
《SFW》
• This ship just works so well because they're both awkward nerds in their own ways like dhdhjsja
• D.Va is obviously the most loser gamer out there (i say this affectionately :3) who's social skills are probably terrible because most of her life is portrayed on social media
• Brigitte is very family-centered and her godfather is literally in Overwatch with her, that must make relationships awkward pffff, also she's just a big buff lady who's very kind-hearted and shy
• They probably got together due to other peoples' influence, Tracer definitely takes most of the credit for getting them together
• Brigitte loves HARD, she's head over heels for D.Va, every action she takes has D.Va in mind, she watches all her streams from start to finish, she puts D.Va's feelings and happiness above her own
• D.Va is centered a bit more around herself due to all the pressure of fans and Busan's expectations of her, she has a harder time remembering that Brigitte has needs and wants aswell, but she gets the hang of it over time
• Their love languages are definitely gift giving and quality time
• Brigitte will buy anything that reminds her of D.Va, bunny plushies, keychains from her favorite games, snacks and drinks that she likes, literally anything
• D.Va just likes being around Brigitte, gaming together in eachothers rooms, fixing up Tokki after a tough mission, working on one of Brigitte's projects, sitting beside eachother at meals, they're always together
• They go on little arcade dates and fast foods dates where they set up picnics in really pretty spots and just eat junk food pffff
• They're also the type of couple to just go on walks through town, where all the shop owners know them by name and ask Brigitte to fix their shit
• D.Va likes being able to carry Brigitte while she's in her mech, she likes being tall and strong :)
• Literally everyone in Overwatch knows they're dating, how can you not when they're like a highschool couple cuddling in the hallways
• Brigitte definitely calls D.Va bunny, kanin (bunny in swedish), and darling
• D.Va calls Brigitte baby and jagiya, idk she doesn't seem like the type of partner to use a lot of pet names
《NSFW》
• They're both switches but Brigitte probably tops more often
• D.Va is the more dominant one though, we support power bottoms on this blog
• Honestly they're too sweet for any kinky shit, D.Va is definitely into toys tho
• She's got a small collection, nothing too insane or huge just a bunch of dildos and vibrators because why not
• There favorite positions are missionary and riding, I use those a lot but like yes
• Kisses during, a lot of kisses and body worship
• Brigitte makes sure that D.Va knows she's fucking beautiful, and D.Va makes sure Brigitte knows that she's pleasing her so good
• I can't think of any more hrhdjks they're too sweet man
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for reading my mindless rambling shdhjaka
If you like my work liking and reblogging takes like 30 seconds and really helps me as a creator. Requesting ships or other things also really helps me and I like it a lot, so please do!
Have a good day :)

Tumblr media
I think this one requires the whole first page to start us off. And honestly, it’s going to be hard to decide what to cut out in this issue, because the art is super good! Regardless of what you think about this human Sonic design, there’s no denying that the art is going hard and we’ll see that especially in an upcoming sequence. But even in this shot of Sonic’s room, look at how many SEGA references there are! You can check out a full list over in the trivia page on the wikia, but I love that artist Ed Hillyer clearly cares enough about Sonic to put all of these in Hillyer isn’t only the artist of this story - he’s also the writer! Hillyer does the occasional art duty for StC, but to my knowledge, this is the only story he wrote? It’s fitting that it would be a story that would become so well known
Anyway, onto the story itself. To start us off, we have a sequence of Sonic as we know him about to be flattened by a Robotnik mech, failing to save Tails. The title card shows “hedgehog” scribbled out and replaced with “human” before a human boy wakes up in his bedroom. Though, from the looks of things, he still believes that he’s on Mobius. Don’t we all?
Tumblr media
Sonic finds a mirror in the room and realises that he’s not in his own body, before someone from off-screen calls for an “Erin” to come downstairs. The name Erin is assumed to come from Erinaceus europaeus - the scientific classification of West European Hedgehog (something else I read on the wikia). Erinaceus europaeus has already been mentioned in the comic by Dr. Kintobor in our flashback story, so this is a pretty fair assumption. I just think it’s a neat name in general tbh
Tumblr media
This is the sequence I was talking about before! Look at how the colours and distortion paint how uncomfortable this scene is! The intense yellow glow from the ceiling light, the pressure shown on Erin’s face as he tries to pull away from being forced to eat the egg. We as the audience instantly know that this is messed up. I don’t think this scene would’ve been nearly as effective without the art selling it as well as it does I have to admit that I have read this story before, since it’s one of the ones that gets reprinted in a later issue of StC, and this page stuck with me the most out of all of it
Tumblr media
Erin races out into the garden where he finds… okay, that’s a pretty unique take on a human Tails as well, but he literally only appears for these two panels. He’s even wearing a “Big Breakfast” shirt, since StC will not resist throwing in references to British media at every opportunity
We don’t get the context of what’s attacking human Tails, but again, I love how Erin’s poses show the intensity of the wind-up into his spin attack followed by his harmless cartwheel to demonstrate that, no, Sonic can’t do that here
Tumblr media
Geez, they really aren’t pulling any punches. Erin down
Tumblr media
Evil Egg Mother is back and I know I keep harping on about it, but I really love how they’ve kept her sinister yellow glow from the kitchen, but now have it contrasted against the blue of the room and also intensified by the sickly green of the egg
Tumblr media
“Eat it, Spikeball!” is enough for Sonic to figure out exactly what’s going on here. He looks like it takes him some effort to break free, but Sonic figures out that he’s “a hedgehog dreaming” and does what some Sonic fans probably hope would happen to them by waking up to find that he’s really a Mobian after all
Tumblr media
…I mean, I’m not sure if anyone’s avoiding spoilers for any Apple-exclusive Sonic games, but isn’t this how Sonic Dream Team ends? Ah well, it’s an old franchise, so they’re bound to retread ideas from time to time. (Unrelated, while I couldn’t play Dream Team myself, I do love seeing Rouge and Cream being included as part of the main team)
Anyway, Sonic wakes up, chases off Robotnik and rescues Tails, joking about having seen horrors that Tails could never imagine. I dunno, Sonic, it looked like the dream Tails was going through a rough time as well And that’s that! My one complaint is that the conclusion of this story feels quite abrupt - we only really get one and a half pages of Mobian Sonic at the end there. But StC does have shorter stories than Archie and IDW for the most part, so sometimes that’ll just be how it is. And honestly, it’s a small trade-off for all the amazing sequences in the human parts of the story. Hillyer was no new-face to comics at this point, so saying “he draws darn well” is quite an obvious statement, but I do also want to say that he draws both the Mobians and the humans very well. We’ve seen a lot of artists in these books (especially the early Archie ones) who were either good at drawing the Mobians and the humans looked uncanny valley or good at drawing the humans and the Mobians were uncanny valley. So it’s nice to see both looking really good
I’m sure I don’t need to say that I enjoyed this story a lot. What could’ve been just another “nice but standard” oneshot story ended up becoming something incredibly memorable. In fact, I’d say I enjoyed reading it even more now than I did as a kid. But perhaps the fact that it doesn’t out-stay its welcome helps with that? If we’d had several more follow-up stories of Erin the Human, I might’ve lost interest
Hm. It is kind of cool to imagine what the other Sonic characters might’ve looked like in this particular human style, though

aventuras sounds interesting! besides the extremophile thing, is the biology similar to normal SNAP Cybertronians? i.e they need to eat as well?
Aventuras isn't meant to be a SNAP thing, just a general any continuity fan colony. just based on terminology and timeline, it's vaguely IDW with the way i set it up? but i like tweaking/reinterpreting things to fit in any canon, so it could certainly be in SNAP as some long lost colony or something, roughly same biology. the founding date is off, would be more like 2 billion instead of 2 million. one of their quirks is very potent, energy-rich energon, which obviously any mech needs energon, but the comparative richness of Aventuri energon is necessary for their high powered sparks, even rare dull normal folks. a Cybertronian could survive a month just sipping a single cube, but even the most energy efficient of Aventuri frames would slowly start to starve on Cybertronian energon

Okay. Here we go. Entombed!
Hasn’t even started yet and I know damn well we’re not gonna get crosshair
Wrecker n Omega bonding time 🥰
Ooh more toys? More glass for her kaleidoscope? Is that what that is?
BOLO AND KETCH <3 Phee don’t lead them on tho
Is echo sleeveless.
Nope not for her kaleidoscope
Ooo compass
I still can’t tell if he’s sleeveless or not. Cause bitch ain’t got no melanin for no stinkin reason.
No he’s got sleeves on I think
This is gonna be a case of the revealed “actually I’ve never been a good treasure hunter /I’ve never actually retrieved any treasure” schtick isn’t it. Star Wars you’ve already DONE that with that stupid droid spy arc that nobody likes (except for when Gregor 🥰). BUT GOD NOT ANOTHER PLEASE I fucjin hate that trope.
Hondo prefers pirate, Phee prefers liberater of artefacts… nobody likes smuggler
God I miss crosshair
Bolo and ketch episode when
That droid is literally a walking soda can
It called entombed bc they going to entombed ha ha ha.
I love you Omega
I LOVE YOU WRECKER
Hm… Jedi temple?
Oh no more like Space Atlantis.
Poor wrecker always has to do the work. His muscles are probably always screaming. Doesn’t matter that he’s Big and Strong—he can be overworked too!
Hahaha. called entombed bc they entombed rolling my eyes.
I miss fun Star Trek ep titles. They were fun. When am I gonna get a title like “Far Beyond the Stars” or “Take Me Out To The Holosuite” from this show.
Those highlights ones don’t follow a pattern… but okay.
Not a fan of this ep sorry guys :(
Echo and Hunter go hmmm idk about this . Good on them
Kyber crystal?
FINALLY HUNTER USING A SENSE geez they never let him use his enhancements
Cave boy tru eat wrecker! No thank you cave boy!
O NO. TRAPPED
Momentarily forgot Hunter existed (couldn’t count four clones for some reason and couldn’t figure out who was missing). Which is a lot like how the writers forget HUNTER HAS ENHANCEMENTS
AAAAAND THEY FORGOT AGAIN
He! Would! Be! Able! To! Sense! That!
Omega sweetie you’re so smart. I love you.
OOOO ITS LIKE THOSE ROLLY TUNNELS YOU CAN FIND AT A PARK I wanna go inside
Not a kyber crystal ig
Wait maybe? Idk I can’t tell
It’s a lot smaller than I expected tbh.
Oh the place is gonna collapse isn’t—yep.
spache chip? Mega mech? Mech.
Oh…
Oh this is something… I’ve seen something… it looks like something I know but I don’t know what. What is it. Pausing to think.
I don’t know but it… it reminds me of SOMETHING.
Soda can on da move
Soda can crushed
It really is quite the interesting design for a mechanical creature. Majestic and terrifying. Too bad it has to go. It was truly gorgeous. Something to behold. Whatever it was.
Tech: can we fucking stop treasure hunting now jfc
“At least no one can ever activate that thing again” … we’re gonna see another of these aren’t we.
Hunter: for the love of god please stop filling my child’s head with fucking bullshit
Hm. Not a fan of that ep. Kind of bummed. This seasons got a slow pace to it. Crosshair soon? Maybe Rex and Gregor again? Soon please?

Have you seen the new Sonic Prime TV show? If you did, what do you think?
As a matter of fact, I have! Here are my thoughts below:
I genuinely really enjoyed it and binged it all in one sitting. There are many aspects of the show that I really liked such as the voice and portrayal of Shadow (the best English voice depiction we've had for him since Jason Griffith in my opinion), the shatterverse versions of Amy, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge and just so much more.
I found the portrayal of Sonic really cute in the show. Yeah, he's very goofy and gets his ass kicked constantly by everyone around him but it's actually quite interesting to see that he isn't perfect and that he's very much vulnerable. I did think they dumbed him down too much for the sake of humour and even though it wasn't unbearable, I didn't really appreciate it that much?
Though, I understand that Sonic will never be a consistently written character because he's on different media and written by different people and everyone has their own image of him hahaha. He felt like a blend of film Sonic, sa2 Sonic, Boom Sonic and Forces Sonic in this show. I really enjoyed this version of him.
I also really loved the design and depiction of Rouge in all the universes! She was animated so fluidly and it was interesting to see her back to working on her own rather than for G.U.N or with Team Dark. She is one of my favourite characters and she was really nicely fleshed out. Wish we got more of her flirting with Knuckles though because I love it when she riles him up!
With Amy, although I really loved how she was portrayed in all the universes, I just wish we got her being a little flirty with Sonic. What made Amy so unique is how open she is about her feelings- especially her romantic ones for Sonic. I just want to see her make him a little flustered again and sadly I don't think we'll be seeing that from her again :/
That aside, she really is the glue of the team and I can't wait to see more of that in the episodes to come. I really liked that for the shatterverses, she was working for the egg council in one of them as a mech and she was a 'monster' in the feral world. The people behind the show were very creative with her and gave us some delicious angst and cute moments between her and Sonic~ Her pirate self is also super adorable and I love the designs for all of her selves.
Tails is perfect in every depiction of the shatterverse. He's so cute, so smart and was such a treat to watch. Of course, Nine was really fleshed out and we got to know the most about him but I can't help but be drawn to Mangy because he's just a little guy. I love Tails, he's too good for us.
Captain Dread Knuckles was my favourite depiction of Knuckles so far in the series! Especially towards the end when he finally got his mitts on the Prism and looked like an evil little fella. I do wish he wasn't dumbed down a little because we got plenty, PLENTY of that in Boom but I really did enjoy watching him and seeing him in action. His design as the pirate is probably my most favourite design in the show.
Overall, I have like a million more things I could say about this show and fangirl about the music, the animation, the environment designs, the characterisation, Shadow using Sonic as a punching bag, etc. But we don't need a 100K word doc from me about it hahaha.
I'm really glad we got so much wonderfulness from the dream team and this show as a whole was such a treat for Sonic fans. We are eating so well this year and it makes me so happy to see the silly blue bastard getting the love and treatment he deserves :)

silly little thought.
So, Dri/ft been eating well, packing on the pounds. He found the joys of sweets and thanks to his issues with addiction, can’t lay off them. The chomping of chocolates starts off slow, but eventually leads to the classic ‘I’ll have just one more.’ Soon, that one more went straight to his belly.
And hips.
Naturally, once the swords/mech notices, he wonders what Rat/chet thinks? He knows his lover isn’t shallow… but still. He wants to be 100% desirable in the medic’s optics. But Rat/chet has been away for some reason during this weight gain, but is returning soon.
Dri/ft looks at himself in the mirror, and gone is that sleek, speedsters frame, replaced with a rounded paunch that hangs over his hips, complete with droopy love handles, swelled thighs, and when he twists his chubby frame to view his backside, he is treated with such a wide load.
Naturally, Dr/ift gets himself all worked up over it, but decides he has to calm himself down before his lover returns. So he meditates and does some yoga.
Can you just imagine that belly resting on the ground as he does the cobra pose? It’s almost as if a big, fluffy pillow was in front of him.
The bridge pose- can he even lift high enough to get that bubble-but off the ground?
Or how about the downward dog pose? I bet his flabby belly will hit him in the face if he’s not careful.
The virasana- his pede nearly gets lost in that thigh chub flab!
But the T/IC continues on, letting his mind be at rest. He is deep in the baby pose, his round thighs tucked alongside his body, gently pressing into his squishy beach ball-like belly. His arms splayed downward along those meaty thighs. The pose is rather comfy- he feels as if he’s tucked up along a big, soft plushie!
“What a sight to see.”
Dr’ift immediately snaps out of his meditative trance, looks up and discovers Rat/chet returned early, and is staring at his fat aft that is pretty much on display. The chubbed up speed/ster stutters in shock, optics wide as he rolls into a seated position.
However, all his concerns and anxieties quickly leave from his body. Rat/chet has ‘that look’ on his face. Soon, Dr/ift’s cheeks flush as he bites his lips. His fans are ready to click on and his engines rev with the predatory way Rat/chet stalks towards him.
He knows what is in store for him tonight.
Apparently, his lover doesn’t mind his squishy frame- not the way those servo’s go right for that aft and grope.
….. ……
Not even spell checked, so may have errors. Random chub prompt

Day 6 - Our first full day in Tokyo... and it didn't start well. We had a reservation at Sweets Paradise, Oshi no ko collab. This was our first ever time at a Sweets Paradise, so we were sure how it worked. The booking was for 12:00 so we had a light breakfast and headed over to Ikebukuro. This is where it started to go wrong.
My google maps did what it did to us last time we were in Japan. And what should of been a 5minute walk, turned into a 30-40 power walk all round Ikebukro.... It was really hot that day too and we were worried we would miss our slot. We were indeed about 20minutes late, hot and snapping at each other, but it was fine and we were allowed in. That was also stressful as we had no idea how it works. Sweets Paradise is an all you can eat buffet. So you have to buy the buffet and then order the special food on top of that.
It ended up working quite well as we only ordered desserts and got to eat actual lunch at the buffet. There were unlimited drinks too!
The day started super stressful but ended up being really nice. I prefer themed cafes as we were just in the corner with all the regular guests around us, and the theming was a bit meh compared to actual themed cafes. However I did love the buffet aspect.
Once we were, calm, feed and rested we head out to Ikebukro for the day. The plan was to shop for the day, but Ikebukro on a Saturday was a nightmare. We went to the world's latest Animate and it was just chaos inside. The queues are mental and honestly it was too much. I did however find this Sakai and Miyano exhibition upstairs that was super quiet. I got a couple of limited edition stands from there and got to look at all the artwork. It was a little surprise I didn't expect.
After that we escaped the hell that was Animate and headed to more shops in the area. I love Ikebukro as it is fan girl themed shops and found lots of cool mech and doujins. We stayed there pretty much all day thanks to the likes of Mandarake that can take up hours of your time. Stopped in a nice Family Mart that had a seating area to get a pizza bun and drink before finishing shopping.
Before heading home we stopped at an arcade and Matt won me a SpyxFamily plush, that was so so cool! Back in Akihabara we headed out to get a our first proper bowl of Katsudon for the evening!

Tsuki and Mekka
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Welp, time to infodump on these two!
These two are for a story called Tsuki: Mechanical Rabbit From The Moon, a fan continuation of Megaman Fully Charged. The story takes place after the events of Fully Charged. The main character of this story is Tsuki Hoshino, a girl in junior high alongside Aki, she moved in a while ago and has two close friends named Yuri and Chie. One day, on a Friday after school, Tsuki finds Megaman fighting Fireman. But Fireman is much stronger this time around and starts to burn Megamans armor. Tsuki goes to run and get help but finds some odd chip on the ground causing Mekka to plop from the sky. Suddenly Mekka realized what’s going on and messes with the chip, and gives her some item to turn into a sort-of mech magical girl. (Idk if I’ll change her name, I may leave it Tsuki) after that, Tsuki just goes to fight other robot masters and help Megaman out.
INFO ON THE TWO OF THEM:
Tsuki Hoshino:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsuki Hoshino goes to Silicon Central (or whatever the school is called) and wants to be an artist, she draws quite a bit in school and out of school. She’s kind person, and a little quiet, but when she isn’t quiet, she’s all over the place! She’s also sorta emotional sometimes. She’s also pretty clumsy. She has a big passion for cartoons (specifically anime) video games, and of course, cute stuff. She’s mostly a typical teenager.
Tsuki found the empty Power Chip (something I made up for this) and Mekka appeared. It wasn’t empty after Tsuki used it, because it was a chip that hasn’t been used yet. Power Chips, which I made up, basically hold a robots power, (it’s in the name-) but if another robot uses another one’s power chip, it could give the robot whos using it that robots abilities. Is that confusing? It’s fine. Power chips are kinda like little charms, or at least the ones Tsuki gets are like that. She basically became a magical girl with the chip thanks to Mekka tinkering with it by putting it into some staff thingy (haven’t come up with it yet)
Tsuki absolutely is a sweet tooth and even asks her friend Yurei to bring pieces of cake at lunch. It became a habit of hers after one time she brought cake to school. And Tsuki had to get a bite. So sometimes she still asks, “Hey, did you bring cake today?” Her friends like to share lunches with eachother it’s normal.
M3kanikaru Usa/Mekka/M3kka
Tumblr media
Ah yes, Mekka! The helper robot! Sorta. Mekka can do lots of things actually. Mekka granted her the ability to transform thanks to messing with the Power Charm. Mekka is basically her helper, assistant, and mascot Sorta not really. Mekka is often pretty helpful but can be a little sarcastic when she wants to be. She’s also a little hotheaded. She’s quite knowledgeable on the different robot masters which, is a little suspicious but it isn’t too important. I think.
Mekkas body can actually sorta shape shift sort of. No drastic body changes, just like clothing and blasters. I haven’t drawn sketches of it, but Mekka has these robot hands she can use. She mostly uses them for like cleaning and doing other chores. She can also float. Which she uses that to her advantage a lot. She can walk still duh. She sleeps in Tsuki’s closet since they (both Tsuki and Mekka) don’t want her to be seen. Mekka was actually created by Tsuki’s father. But after that, we don’t know much else about that.
More extra stuff. Another thing about Mekka is she asks Tsuki for some parts of the dinner or desert or whatever she’s eating. She does actually have blasters she can use at will but, they don’t work that well. They usually make a small explosion and blast her off somewhere. Not too far.
(Anyways that’s all I’m putting here for now. I did get a little lazy but I tried ^^)

I'm only on season 11 and i haven't rewatched the rest of the series but like I'm kind of a fan of how Master Wu is portrayed, as a deeply flawed person beyond Wise Old Cryptic Teacher
Flawed in the way of "Guardian tries to parent but does so crappily, and made Big Mistakes On Purpose as a child and tries to be like "WELL"
Like the catalyst was the fact Wu didn't like how they had gotten lazy and were just playing video games right? But I can think of a number of ways he could have gone about it that would have been better
such as
Encouraging them to train/keep training you know. get that exercise, keep you on the edge, etc. How they even got to that point is beyond me.
Giving them household chores to do. Being alive comes with eating and wearing clothing, which means cooking. and cleaning. doing the laundry. Who else is doing those things? Just make them pick up after themselves. And Pixal was constructing the secret base and the mechs during that time, she was keeping busy, why not give the Ninja some renovation tasks, make them Help Pixal.
But Nooo, let's put them in a constant state of stress and yeet them over the temple wall because that's probably what his dad did to him so that's the Right Way
It's like the epitome of someone complaining about nailing jello to a tree, when all you have to do is nail the jello in the cup and you're good. Just give them a bit of support and they'll be able to flourish. He truly is Traumatized Boomer Parent not knowing how to parent, simultaneously being too absent and too present in the wrong ways. this is probably why he never had children of his own.
But he also admits to his flaws and his shortcomings as a teacher, and I will accept that. . . for the time being.

Wreckless [MTMTE]
He stared at the ceiling, optics glitching on and off giving the effect that he was riding on a car with light flickering through the windows as it drove along the highway at night. He heard his fans whirring in his audio, working hard to cool his vocalizer from the 2-hour bout of screaming he had just finished. His body ached from lack of movement, but he had been strapped down to the table to keep from squirming off of it. Needless to say, he was very very bored.
:Creatooor,: He whined through a comm link, knowing his creator had turned off his audio long before the little mech got tired of screaming. :When will you be dooooone?:
“You still have a couple hours, 59b, be patient.” The creator answered aloud as he worked on the small bot’s internals.
The little 59 threw his head back in disdain, groaning loudly. He hated waiting. It was the worst. Worse than worst, it was torture, eating away at his very being and life force. 
He really should have listened to his brother back then. “Don’t try doing fancy tricks, just get the job done.” His brother had said. And he did just that, blasting the asteroids out of their path and making sure none of the stray little ones passed and hit the ship. Well, he had until the last few. Then he started doing flips and turns and figure eights around the dumb rocks, ‘cause what could they do? They were just dumb space rocks, they couldn’t do anything to him, besides, he had a blaster! He could fend off anything with that, right? Wrong. He got cocky and stopped paying attention somewhere down the line and before he knew it there was one astroid on one side and another asteroid on the other and they were moving too close too quickly for him to do much of anything. He managed to not get crushed entirely, but a decent amount of things got damaged -things that he still didn’t understand which his brother seemed to understand quite easily- and managed to land himself on his creator’s lab table for the past 5 hours. 
It truly was torture.
