#his chaos is controlled

[movie-robotnik-positivity]

If you think about it, a majority of Sonic lore consists of undiscovered islands and ancient civilizations. Makes you wonder why so many of these advanced races just....vanish.

Every civilization that attempts to harness the power of the chaos emeralds meets the same fate. I just find that interesting.

#if the echidnas are any indication they most likely destroyed themselves by misusing their power #or maybe they were simply unable to control them #from the Ancients to the Echidnas those rocks bring nothing but conflict and chaos #Sonic is the exception which makes his connection to the emeralds even more interesting #sonic superstars #sonic the hedgehog #sonic

I wish. I fucking WISH that Sega (and fandom) remembered Knuckles uses chaos energy

#fern.sth #'Shadow uses chaos control he's the best option if anyone needs to learn -' WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG #Knuckles has practically been BATHED in chaos energy his whole life and understands it on a spiritual level #Sega stop neglecting his abilities challenge

The vacation bit just keeps growing out of control, and I had to do my civic duty and put him in tacky beachwear 🏖️

(He's actually in a fantastic mood, with his silly-straw'd dubious coconut drink and dumb tote bag and thrift store slides. He's just squinting down the beach to find the best spot to fry in the sun while face down for three hours)

#shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #scc shadow #sonic chaos control #also lmao accidental sneak peek of what he looks like under his usual trenchcoat + bionic armor over the top #i missed making shtposts with this guy!! #sorry for tag wh0ring please look at my terrible lad #holds him up like simba. chucks him off a cliff #ness mess

Out of all of Wei Wuxian's traits, one of the ones that fascinates me the most is how incredibly casual and chummy he is with corpses. All the other cultivators are a bit desensitized to the dead by nature of their profession, yes, but Wei Wuxian in particular treats the dead very much the same as he treats living people, and I think it's simultaneously one of his best and most concerning attributes.

On the good side, the way Wei Wuxian treats the dead is absolutely an extension of his overall goodness and empathy. He stands on the side of those that are looked down on, and nobody faces more discrimination that the dead. He treats the dead like people because they are people, and they deserve to have their voices heard. That's what Empathy's for, and that's why he revives Wen Ning to stand as witness to his own murder. Wen Ning is not a thing! And even when Wei Wuxian is raising armies of dead Wens to fight on his behalf, we get illustrations of him giving a helping hand to a weak old corpse that can't stand on its own.

Wei Wuxian is painted in very deliberate contrast to Xue Yang, who treats the dead as tools and deprives them of agency. His closeness with them is a symbol of his kindness.

However, beyond treating the dead decently and like people, there is a point where his chumminess with them starts to get unsettling, and that's the point where it becomes a reflection of his loneliness and trauma. In particular, I'm thinking of his cuddliness with the ghosts he uses to torture Wen Chao and the corpse girls he's hanging out with when he invites Lan Zhan to drink with him. Because treating the dead with respect is a very different thing from having a corpse lay in your lap as you stroke its hair. And fierce corpses by definition do not have personalities (with Wen Ning as the exception that proves the rule), so treating them as companions to socialize with is rather concerning behavior.

So why is he like this? Isolation and trauma!

It's easy to understate the trauma of Wei Wuxian's three months in the Burial Mound, especially given that we don't see them play out but do get details about so many other horrible moments. But those three months? They Fucked Him Up. In particular, beyond the trauma of the near death experience (or presumably many many near death experiences in a row), he spent the better part of three months without seeing a single other living human. People are not meant to do that.

So what is a person gonna do when he spends three months in Worse Solitary Confinement? And when that solitude is spent on Fierce Corpse Mountain? He's gonna get really weird about corpses. He's gonna turn into the kind of man that would let a murderous ghost he's controlling lay in his lap as he strokes her hair, because for an extended period of time, that is the closest thing to human contact he's had access to.

And later, post-sunshot-campaign, Wei Wuxian does regain access to living humans and society, but he's still incredibly isolated. Just about everyone besides his siblings and Lan Zhan hates and/or is scared of him by the time we hit the scene of him and the fierce corpse girls throwing flowers, so it's no wonder he's hanging out with dead people. He already picked up the habit of replacing company with corpses once, so of course he doesn't see anything wrong with it. Maybe they're there as bodyguards, maybe he's just extremely lonely and doesn't have any human companions to drink with him, or maybe (probably) it's a mix of both. But in any case, it's a pretty clear expression of a horrifying degree of both past and present isolation.

That's why, though he doesn't lose his respect for the dead or his desensitization to touching corpses, we never see him just Hanging Out With Mindless Ghosts in his second life. It's a substitute for real companionship, not a healthy behavior, but lack of company is no longer an issue he has after being resurrected.

He doesn't need an entourage of corpse girls, because this time, when he wants company, he's always got Lan Zhan.

#see also: xy spending years with sl's fierce corpse as his only companion #his fierce corpse that he was controlling completely #respect for the dead is good #but Hanging Out With Corpses You're Controlling is pretty deeply unhealthy #and it's a good habit for wwx to have broken #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #mdzsposting #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #oh and this is why I'm so mad that the donghua cut out that creepy-ass scene of the Wen Chao torture #Wwx being a fucked up little guy with trauma that makes him Weird About Corpses is deeply important to me #and important to his character #and the donghua really nerfed his fucked up little guy levels #(and I'm guessing cql did as well. but I haven't actually watched it) #wei wuxian #wei wuxian my beloved #english major hours #long post

Rewatching a playthrough of Danganronpa and it actually shocks me how chill Monokuma is. Even when Kyoko goes around stealing his shit and he finds Makoto with it later he's like. Yeah okay. I don't hold it against you or anything it's cool. LMAO

He has every available opportunity to just kill everyone whenever, especially when they break the rules, but he never does. I really love villains who stick to their own rules so it's fair for everyone else :")

#Danganronpa #Okay listen I know a lot of people hate Monokuma (some of my own friends included) #But I LOVE him. Okay. I adore him #His personality is great he's a cheerful asshole who kills kids for fun. And he's not ashamed about it. #He follows his own rules to a T and jokes around with the kids and offers them hints when they need it #He's the worst person in the world. The person who controls him has slaughtered thousands. #He's the cause of all the world's chaos. He's also a cute widdle teddy bear. #I hate him so much I love him. Does that make sense? Lol #It's hard to find really compelling villains like him and Junko #HE'S BATSHIT CRAZY! HE'S UNHINGED! AND HE'S FUCKING ADORABLE!! #Also it's crazy to me that Junko could literally just walk out and leave and end the game but she DOESN'T #She follows her rules through to the end. And executes herself #No normal villain would do that. A normal villain would do anything to escape and survive after they've lost #She just accepts her defeat with grace. I hate her guts but I respect the HELL out of her #Shima speaks

Big fan of the idea that the cuffs that Silver wears are inhibitors/regulators similar to Shadow's. Amy too.

Theyre acting like devices that help tame the chaos energy/redirect it in a way that ensures that the wearer isn't going to tear themselves to shreds. Like little batteries/reserves that keep the wearer from using all that energy all at once!

#sonic disability headcanons #limiters/inhibitors controlling chaos energy in the same way as the master emerald does. albeit in a much smaller way #the way silvers cuffs expand/light up when hes using his powers could be them taking on excess energy! acting as a tiny reserve #so that hes not directing too much to his palms #amys being a bit more like shadows where they are inhibiting or soaking up chaos energy like a sponge. shed tear up her muscles otherwise #itd be cool if rings acted like chaos energy batteries! it would explain why theyd help u not eat shit when you take a hit #and why they disappear after dropping. you used that charge/opened it up and the chaos energy is leaking till theres nothing there #it would also fit a bit with how Sonic X uses them too! #text #silver #amy #shadow #knuckles gets help from the master emerald so he doesnt need them #rambles

jrwi riptide 100//

Jay wanting to be a pirate just because of the freedom it gives her in this world. No lofty goals or ambitions. That’s what it’s always been about, hasn’t it? Since La Alma, who set sail from Joaldo without a thought of his future, and even before him, it’s been a clear theme. There is freedom in the open seas, there is freedom in having an open future. Not knowing what is next because you get to decide your heading.

And they help others find their freedom as well, as they make their own journey. Whether it’s by helping them fight back against whatever boot is crushing them, or trying to help them and give them resources to continue on their journey, or other such means. They’re the best goddamn pirates because they embrace this freedom, and they use their power to help others find their freedom as well.

#Jay isn’t a pirate for revenge or to say fuck you or to try and bring about chaos. she wants the freedom and friendship it gives her #Jayson can yap all he wants about the dangers of freedom and chaos and whatever the fuck. ok bootlicker with control issues #I’m sure I’d love to hear his opinions on the political state of mana. I’m sure he’d be a blast at parties. whatever dude #freedom is a pure and just ideal. always has been always will be #like it ties into every adventure they’ve been on everyone they’ve helped. it ties into their own journies (Gil especially) #no all of them especially #seize your destiny. plot your own course. have a good time with good company #and do some good along the way #I just have so many thoughts #jrwi #jrwi riptide #jrwi riptide 100 #jrwi 100 #jay ferin #okay! gonna start tagging spoilers since it’s 100 episodes and over now for riptide #jrwi spoilers #z speaks

“sonic is under my protection now.”

#sonic #sonic the hedgehog #sth #sonic au #infinite the jackal #sequel to the drawing i made in january where shadow uses chaos control on sonic because He Can Do That. not good for sonic obv #project nova dlc #scribbles #this is the moment where infinite starts to see sonic as an Actual teammate because the thought of #shadow pulling a jackal squad: part 2 on sonic makes him Really Angry #and he wants to prove he's strong enough to stop that from happening again #(not that shadow would ever do that to sonic but infinite doesn't know that. he just hates shadow lol n sees him as a bloodthirst monster) #bloodthirsty** #which is pretty funny all things considered but hey. perspective amirite <3 #but yeah sonic is really disoriented after shadow literally puppets his powers around. he'll be ok tho. walk it off! #bright colors

pls don't remove astarion's shitty gremlintude when you adopt him for your interpretation that nasty little man needs it for enrichment

#Astarion #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #pls take care of your fictional man #he needs his low impulse control and high chaos that's part of his charm #also a lack of emotional intelligence and foresight are crucial for actualization #I know you were told he was nice but #you shouldn't get your fictional man care tips from tik tok

[hyper-cryptic]

Anyways, I did have these two saved thankfully!

Heart Of Chaos AU is about Sonic (Spikes) being the reincarnation of The Master Emerald thanks to Tikal's wish for peace. He is filled to the brim with Chaos Energy and, if in enough distress, that chaos energy can be corrupted and trigger his Dark Form, which can cause a big ass doomsday since he is directly linked to the Chaos Emeralds and will corrupt them as well.

So...imagine if radioactive energy just started to kill everything living...Not ideal.

But yes! that's the synopsis of Heart of Chaos. :]

#also yes the au has to do something with actual Chaos. he is a recurring character because Spikes and it were connected to each other. #Chaos wasn't IN spikes but spikes' is linked to Chaos anyways #when Eggman got Chaos out of the crystallized lake it was trapped in Spikes immediately felt that. #and as Chaos grew angrier and stronger. it began affecting Spikes' control on his own emotions and chaos energy triggering his dark form #when Chaos gained his last form. but with help of Tikal . Knux. Ames and Tails they were able to reach Spikes and Spikes was able to #calm down Chaos #anyways way to be traumatized when youre 12 huh! #dw he isn't a silly emo boy. but he does have insecurities about hurting other people after tHAT shit happened and he and Chaos destroyed #that whole city #thankfully Spikes was able to restore the corrupted chaos energy to being okay chaos energy and not leave the entire place being #the literal elephants foot LMFAO #my art #heart of chaos au #tikal the echidna #sonic the hedgehog #knuckles the echidna

[rhythmcrown]

There are a lot of Shadows out there. There are many like the original, but this one is mine, or something.

Anyway I've missed writing/drawing this guy. He's the OG muse that's been with me longer than any other character, and the soft SCC reboot has done wonders for the inspiration. I love my terrible little titanium rocket guy and I think we should all do away with the parts of us that cringe for loving something a whole lot

#shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #hi i do art #ness mess #talk to me about your AUs because lord knows i go on and on about mine #sonic chaos control

[aphantimes]

I like to headcanon that the Master Emerald doesn't get targetted much anymore (except maybe by Rouge lol) because to anyone that isn't Knuckles it's just a massive heavy battery

The Chaos Emeralds are more plentiful and fulfil the same function if you're just after Chaos Energy, they do the job just as well and are easier to transport and keep changing locations and are not under strict consistent supervision. It's easier to get your hands on one of the smaller seven than the big one constantly being watched over

You can use the Master Emerald as an energy source and accomplish basically the same stuff as with the Chaos Emeralds but it's not worth the hassle

And even if you're someone that can harness Chaos Energy, the full power of the Master Emerald is literally inaccessible to anyone that isn't Knuckles. It'd just be an enormous, heavy, difficult to transport, incredibly conspicuous Chaos Emerald.

#because like. the thing is the direct counter to the chaos emeralds. wouldn't someone have tried to take it for that purpose #ot seems really obvious #sonic goes super to save the day? ok pull out the thing that turns off the things powering the super form #boom easy win #but no this never happens #why? because the master emerald canonically can only be controlled by echidnas #i think of it as like. shadow would be able to use the m.e just the same as a chaos emerald #do all his usual powers #but wouldnt be able to access the abilities wholly unique to the master emerald #those are entirely unique to echidnas and therefore only knuckles #but he just never uses it #master emerald #chaos emeralds

Make a poll w your WIPs and maybe put in some doubles for funsies! No pressure if you don't wanna do it tho!

#og works #og poll #original stories #wip poll #loop hop #humAIn #shadow can't chaos control his way out of this one of no #none of these are fics by the way
