#I have Ideas(TM) on how I would want to handle the island scene #which in turn bleed into 'ideas on how I'd remake the show if I could'

#okay wait bestie where's your tangent analysis @justaboot

And that's all you needed to say in order to get me into full tangent mode so buckle up, I have no idea where this is gonna go!

(Posted as its own thing and put under a cut because hoo boy it is long- seriously, open at your own risk)

First thing's first- I'd make it so that Della's attempts to evade the pursuing Moonlander ship lead to both the Sunchaser and the Moonlander crashing on the deserted island. This would be so that the 'comedy' aspect necessary could be largely carried by a third party -a very confused Moonlander who is pretty sure that none of this is healthy- which would allow for the main cast to focus less on having to become comic relief. And I'd also have it happen for one other reason (which will become quite relevant later).

But the biggest thing I think about the island scene is that it had a lot that it wanted to do (show the twins interacting again for the first time in ten years, show that Della really isn't as okay as she'd like to admit, wrap up Louie's arc, allow the kids to interact with Donald again for the first time since the beginning part of the season), and didn't really have a bunch of time to do it in.

So to change that, I would make the deserted island scene it's own full episode. (Which would subsequently mean changing Moonvasion from a two-episode finale into a final arc- which would still really start with Timephoon).

It would allow for it to cover a lot more, go into more depth with the characters and their interactions with each other, starting with...

Della and Donald's first interaction with each other to be fighting. That'd be a very big part of what I'd want the episode to be about.

They're both exhausted, traumatized, angry, relieved, scared- they've got a whole cocktail of emotions brewing inside of them and they're just so tired of it all.

The episode before The Island would basically end with Della and the kids crashing onto the island and having Donald enter screen. It'd also end with Scrooge and the gang having 'beaten' Lunaris (thanks in large part to Fethry and Gladstone having shown up just in time), which, again, will become relevant later.

The episode would start in largely the same way as the island scene but a little more drawn out, with Donald and Della just sort of stuck in a 'is this actually real? Did I die and just not notice it?' trance before the kids snap them out of it.

And once they do, once they finally approach each other for the first time in ten years and the kids are all waiting with baited breath to see what'll happen... they don't fight.

Not at first.

They also don't cry and hug each other either. They just- greet each other. Awkwardly. Stilted, like they've forgotten how to act around each other. (And they haven't, but they're so scared, they don't want to ruin things and everything is going wrong and they don't want this to go wrong and after so long apart are they even the same people anymore?) So they to be polite, like 'How are you? What's happening? Why are you here? It's good to see you, how's life been?'

And of course the kids would think it's weird- they're twins, and yet they're acting like complete strangers around each other!

But as the conversation progressed, things would start to get more heated. 'Why weren't you around? Why didn't you try to find me? Why'd you leave Scrooge? Why didn't you send any messages? Why didn't you tell the kids about me?' Before they knew it, it'd turn into a full-on screaming match, ten years of pain and regret and loneliness and 'why did you leave?' all forcing it's way to the forefront, unable to be held back because of all the pain running through everybody's minds right now.

And the big difference comes in in that they wouldn't stop fighting. They wouldn't suddenly go 'I missed you' and have everything be okay. The kids would step in and pull the two of them away from each other, so that they wouldn't end up fighting while they've got a hostage (the Moonlander, whom the kids -namely Webby- would've tied up in the background during the whole fight) to talk to.

The moonlander explains what's happening as they're interrogated, and the kids start making plans to get off the rock. Della immediately objects, saying that they need to stay put, and looks to Donald for backup (after all, she knows her brother, right? After everything they've been through, and everything the kids have said about him, she knows that he'll probably advocate for the kids staying out of danger, too).

And Donald instead sides with the kids (which hammers home that Donald has indeed changed to Della). They need to get off the island and go help. And immediately they start making plans to fix the Sunchaser to fly out.

To which Della still objects. Much more heartily, this time. Everyone's a little concerned at the heat to her objections, which she brushes off by insisting that everything's fine, that they're all fine here, that Scrooge has it handled, that they're safer here, that they can't leave her behind, that all their needs will be taken care of, that all these thoughts of bravado and being able to leave in the first place are just going to hurt and they should just give up now, that they're obviously just delirious from lack of oxygen and should change out their Oxy-Chew, she has some spares in her pocket that they can use if they...

Oh, no.

And everything would come crashing down around Della in that moment. It'd click in a really ugly way for her- she's not on the moon anymore. She isn't.

And yet, she's still acting like she is. And has been the entire time- she stopped acting like 'Della' and she doesn't know when, but she realizes that every time something's happened since she came back she's first reverted to 'Moon Della' problem-solving than anything else.

And that'd be overwhelming in and of itself, and including the fact that the sun is glaring down overhead and the kids are staring at her like she's grown a second head (like she's been afraid of ever since coming back) the fact that she doesn't actually know if Scrooge will be alright or not and that's killing her inside (it would've been so much nicer if she could've grabbed him and loaded him on the Sunchaser as well) the fact that Donald is staring at her with that concerned look that she was sure she'd never see again (it's been so, so long)- it's all too much. She needs space.

So she runs away. Deeper into the deserted island, despite the cries of the rest of her family.

The episode would refrain from following Della in order to stick around with the kids and Donald. They all have some stuff to talk about after all, despite all of them being very worried about Della.

And they'd talk (I think they should all get to air out their grievances at their names at least a little), and hug, and try to decide what the next course of action will be. Most of them want to try and find Della, but Donald assures them that she'll be fine, and it'd be better to figure out how to get off this rock before they 'go and try to kidnap her to get her outta here' (He's still a little upset with her).

That being said, at least at the start all of them head out to go search for her as a group (and have a talk about how 'She's a lot different than you made her out to be'/'I don't think she's the same Della who left you behind'/'She really missed you'/'And I know you missed her too')

One by one, after they've said their piece to Donald (most of which are some variation of 'give her a break, she's been through a lot'), each member of the search party would fall back to the beach. They aren't getting anywhere, they need to get work, and they need to trust that Della will come back to them.

In the end it'd just be Donald and Louie, and Donald would mention something about how if Louie has something he'd like to say about the subject, it's okay if he wants to share it. Donald would be happy to hear it, even if it kinda hurts.

And Louie just shrugs and asks Donald what he would've said to them if he'd been there when Della returned. What he would've said if they'd had issues with her coming back and didn't know how to handle it.

Donald would say that he would've assured them that they didn't have to forgive her if they didn't want to. That just because she came back, just because she's sorry, just because she didn't want to hurt them, doesn't mean she didn't. And they're not required to forgive her- even if they do want her to be a part of their life.

And Louie would just say 'Then right back at ya. If you don't wanna forgive her, then don't. If you do wanna forgive her, then do. If it's more complicated than that, then let it be complicated.'

After that (and maybe a little bit of Donald hiding his tears) Donald would say that he should get back to the others to make sure they hadn't killed the hostage, but that he trusted Louie, and if he wanted to keep searching then he should.

Which Louie would do- and only a little bit after Donald left, he'd find Della. Alone in a small oasis, on her back, staring up into the sky.

Now going way back for a moment before continuing (you remember how I said this would bleed into 'how I'd change the show in entirety?'), something that'd be vaguely important to this scene would be a change to Glomtales.

Specifically (a 'canon change' that I've seen talked about on the internet before and gone 'ooh yes gimme' to) that Della didn't head out with the rest of the family on the adventure. Instead, she stayed behind with Louie while he was grounded- which would change a lot of the issues with Glomtales in my humble opinion.

It'd make it more interesting because it'd really hammer home just how alike Louie and Della are. Mainly by having her thwart his every escape attempt by always being one step ahead of him (because she knows the mansion, knows how she would attempt to escape, and knows the order she'd most likely do it in).

It'd also allow for them to have a talk in the Glomtales episode as well- because Louie pointed out in Timephoon that 'Hey, you did the exact same thing, you know' and it would have been really really great to have had Della be able to respond 'Yeah, I did. Look at how that turned out, kiddo.'

She would've sat him down around the end and explained why she was so insistent that he needs to not keep messing around in the way he has been (because it reminds her way too much of how her childhood was and that didn't exactly lead to a healthy outcome), definitely also accidentally pull back the curtain just a tad on the fact that she is not okay (which would lead to Louie mostly just being concerned about her instead of listening), and would allow her to say, specifically-'Your family will always try to be there for you. We will always gladly be your safety net. But having the best safety net in the world means jack if you refuse to use it. And if you keep going doing what you're doing, you might end up in a place where we can't reach you.' (Which, sidenote: I think is what they were attempting to get across in the show, but just kinda fucked up at.)

And largely Louie wouldn't really take what she said into consideration until The Richest Duck in the World, where he'd very quickly find himself in exactly the position Della described.

Anyways, all that said, going back to The Island. Louie finding Della, alone, not doing the greatest.

And Louie would do what Louie would do. He'd head over, lie down right next to her, and make some dumb quip, which she'd snort at and return. ('Seems a little difficult to stargaze in the middle of the day.' | 'Hah- after the moon, any 'starry night sky' on earth just looks completely blank.')

And they'd finally talk. Della would get to explain how she didn't see this coming, and how much that sucks. And Louie would be like well it's not your fault Lunaris is a conniving ass, but Della would shake her head. It's not that she didn't see this betrayal coming (well, she didn't, but honestly at this point in her life it wasn't much of a surprise), but how she didn't see- this. Herself. Breaking.

She never saw this coming. Maybe she just hadn't been looking, but she never could've believed that she'd break like this. That she'd carry this- weight around, even after the moon. (She'd escaped the moon, after all. She really thought she'd be able to leave it all behind.)

She was Della Duck, for crying out loud. She always claimed that nothing could stop her, and yet- here she was. Unable to move on.

And Louie would agree. She couldn't move on- not by herself, at least. But what was it she'd told him, again? 'Family was a great safety net, but only if you actually used it' or something like that?

There was no shame to be found in breaking sometimes. You couldn't be expected to keep moving forever, without any breaks, until the end of time. Hell, he broke all the time- and took breaks all the time too, which helped a lot.

And there was no shame in asking for help, either. In admitting that you cannot solve every problem on your own, that you can't see every problem on your own- sometimes stuff affects you in ways you'd never be able to catch on your own.

But she wasn't alone anymore. She had family. And she could break now (well maybe not now-now, since the world was kinda ending at the moment), let herself shatter. And they'd all be here to help her pick up the pieces.

Della would 100% be in tears by this point, and Louie would bust out the song for her and Della would finish it (because that's just a beautiful scene), and Louie would get to explain to her after she asks that Donald sang it to them every night when they were little.

And that would be what finally gets her up and ready to head back. Ready to talk to her brother again, to face the world.

So the two would head back to the beach, where the Sunchaser is still kind of in disarray (without Launchpad around, none of them know how to fix it quickly), though the Moonlander has managed to get the rocket in pretty much tip-top shape by this point.

The kids notice that Della's back first, and immediately run to give her a hug (she apologizes profusely to them for her 'episode' back there, and promises not to react so poorly to one should it happen again), then back off to let her and Donald talk again.

And, again, they're back to that- awkward stage. They've forgotten how to interact with each other.

Della makes an effort to resolve this by lightly punching him on the shoulder. 'You refused to tell 'em anything about me, but you sang my song for them every night, huh?'

And Donald would snort and bandy back. 'Well hey, it was a good song. ...And even if I couldn't manage to talk about you, I thought they deserved to know a part of you, at least.'

And finally (finally), it'd come crashing down for both of them. Della was back. Donald was back. After ten (well more like eleven but who's counting) long years, they were finally back together.

Cue the waterworks. They'd immediately launch into a hug that looked like they were trying to squeeze the air out of each other, blubbering unintelligibly all the while.

Then the scene would be cut short by a loud booming noise. Off hundreds of miles out in the distance, the large Moonlander mothership would be seen blasting up, up, up into space.

And they'd breathe a sigh of relief (and maybe a little disappointment from the kids). Apparently things had been resolved while they were away. Lunaris was retreating. They were okay.

And then the mothership would turn around. And everyone's stomach would drop.

And that would lead into the final (or maybe penultimate if I wanted to be really self-indulgent) episode of the arc, which would start with the end of the episode before the island- Lunaris's defeat at the hands of Scrooge (well really Glomgold, Gladstone, Fethry, and Mitzy). The group is celebrating, momentarily not paying as much attention as they should. Lunaris takes the opportunity to run back to the ship and launch it into space. Everyone's like 'ah damn, wish we hadn't let him get away, but still- a victory's a victory.' At least, until the ship turns and they realize that he's going to try and do a suicide run into the earth. Which is good for absolutely nobody.

And as they realized this, a battered Moonlander radio that had fallen out of one of the ships nearby would start blinking.

Back on the island, the group would be freaking out. What could they do? What was gonna happen? The earth was doomed, everything they did, everything they tried to do- all for nothing.

And Della would look to the fixed up Moonlander ship, steady her shaking hands, and move towards it. And Donald would notice, understand exactly what she was going to do, and immediately run to object.

And they'd have an argument that, while we never saw the first, mirrors the last fight they had before Della went up into space the first time. Which Donald would hint towards by saying stuff like 'I just got you back, I can't lose you again!'

But Della would manage to cut him off eventually. This time was different. She wasn't running away. She knew the risks, she knew that this probably wouldn't end well.

There'd be a whole argument of 'It's the only thing we can do! Would you really be willing to let the whole world die for one person?' 'Yes!' 'Then what about the kids?'

Complete silence.

Della would tell Donald that she knew what he'd pick. If it was between her or the kids, she knew who he'd choose, every time. Even if it would kill him each time. Hence why she wasn't making him choose.

She'd then look over his shoulder and ask the kids if they'd ever seen what the stars looked like outside of the city. When they'd mention that no, they hadn't, she'd offer to show them.

With strengthened resolve and clear minds, the group would all head into the ship and fly up, up, and up to go meet Lunaris's vessel.

But there'd be a complication. Maybe caused by the earth moving out of orbit, maybe just pure coincidence, but as the Moonlander ship made its way into orbit, it'd slowly get harder and harder to see. To navigate. Maybe Della was just cursed, or maybe some force in the universe just really hated her guts- the second time she rocketed up out of earth, she was greeted by another cosmic storm.

But this time would be different. It had to be different- her whole family (obviously much more important than the world) was relying on her now. So instead of waiting, instead of trying to brave it herself- she immediately flips on the radio and tries to hail someone who could guide her through the storm.

And back on earth, Scrooge would pick up the blinking radio and his niece's voice would come out of it. Tinny and slightly shaking, but still putting on a brave face. As she says 'Hey, so promise not to be mad, but I might need your help,' he'd realize what's going on. It's happening again. His going to lose his whole family. Again.

Except- it wasn't happening again. Because this time it wasn't just him and Della. This time Donald was there. And Beakley. And Webby, and Huey, and Dewey, and Louie and Fethry and Gladstone and Launchpad and even Glomgold for crying out loud!

It wasn't just two people acting like they were gods this time. It was a whole group, a whole family, with a mission.

Since the mothership touched down close to the Money Bin, Scrooge could quickly get the remains of the earth team to the long unused command module. A little bit of blowing off dust and very shoddy science, and they could get it working- mostly.

It was nothing fancy, nothing wonderful, but all their heads combined they could figure out a way to track the mothership through the cosmic storm, and lead the space team to it.

What would follow would be a bit of a cat-and-mouse game between the mothership and the Duck ship, with the cosmic storm acting as cover and sort of a mask for both ships. They'd both be flying blind- but the Ducks would have the earth team to guide them. (Mostly Scrooge and Beakley, though Gladstone, Fethry, and Launchpad would help as well- Glomgold not so much. He would be trying, though, and that's gotta count for something, right?)

And all combined, they'd manage to do a decent job! They'd deal significant damage to the mothership, especially when taking into account just how small their ship is in comparison.

But even with all of that, disaster would still strike. In the form of a lightning bolt from the storm getting a lucky shot and frying their systems, leaving them dead in space (it would be specified that it was only temporary, though- the Moonlanders had built in backup systems that'd take over should a cosmic storm fry them after Della told them her tale). Which would already be bad enough- and then the storm would clear.

Granted, that would bring momentary relief to Della (flying through it would not be comfortable for her for pretty much the entire time) it would quickly be replaced by dread. Because without the cover, without the engines- they're sitting Ducks. Lunaris would very easily end them.

Thankfully though, it would end very similarly to how the Moonvasion ended regularly: Penumbra would come flying in at the last moment (in the original Spear of Selene, no less) and blow up the ships engines, momentarily leading to a tense moment where it seems like she died- then she slams onto the window of the Ducks' ship, and it'd be okay.

For the space team, at least. When their systems were fried momentarily, they'd also lose the radio. So earth team -specifically Scrooge- would have to sit in anticipation and dread as it really did seem like everything was going wrong exactly like it did last time.

And then the radio would blip back on, the signal would come back, and the earth team would rejoice. Everyone would rejoice- the earth would get pushed back into position, the space team would land back at the mansion and everyone would get to have a 'We Just Successfully Averted the End of World and Nobody Died! Thank Fuck!' Party.

(And if I was being really self-indulgent -which I totally haven't been already- I would make the 'holy shit we actually made it' party it's own final episode, maybe with a little bit of the 'fighting the big bad mothership' part for the beginning.

It'd actually largely be after most of the other people had left or had passed out in one of the guest rooms, and would be a bit of a mirror to the first episode of the season- Game Night. But this board game night would be -relatively- more chill, and just a thing focusing on what the Duck-McDuck family does to cool down after a large adventure like that.)

So yeah that's like- a little bit of my tangent of 'How I Would Change Ducktales If I Wanted To Make It A More Dramatic And Plot-Heavy Show'

If you got this far I hope you enjoyed it (and I feel real sorry for you if you didn't)

TL;DR: I'd make it so that the Moonvasion finale was instead a final arc, and I'd make The Island a full episode in its own right. I'd also make it so that they fly up to meet Lunaris in a space fight right after The Island, leaving Scrooge and the other cousins to guide them through a cosmic storm

#this is honestly just one of the many things i'd change #I also have feelings on the final twist of s3 #I'm cool with it because it opens up a lot of potentials and that's all I really care to ask for from a finale #that said #storytelling-wise #it was handled poorly and rather abruptly #it purposefully removed a lot of nuance from the conversation in order to try and hammer home its point to the younger audience #but in turn made it so that when trying to add nuance back into it it can risk coming across as the opposite of what it was trying to say #...which is something that can kinda be said for a lot of the messages ducktales tried to get across but i digress #(removing nuance from a conversation really just serves to make it more difficult to understand)#(if you haven't heard the conversation a hundred times before)#ducktales #dt17 #della duck #donald duck #season 2 #moonvasion #long post

LMAO, Christmas 2023 is showing its ass off. My 8yr old niece made a friendship bracelet for me for Christmas (and it looks exactly like something an 8yr old girl would make - maybe I’ll post a picture of it later), and, well, I was there with her and her mom when she was born, and I was one of the very few family members who helped out extensively with her mother in those first years of life, so we formed a pretty close bond, and she made me promise that I wouldn’t ever take it off , and hoo boy am I already regretting that Christmas promise. My cuz’n (her mom) said she will work on getting her to free me from my promise, and suddenly I feel like an evil genie in a warped Hallmark Christmas story

Anyway, my manhood is about to be severely tested

SN: I wear “blacklivesmatter,” and “stand with Ukraine” and “Free Palestine” bracelets, but somehow I suspect this one will give me as many (more!) problems as any of the other bracelets have/will

But at the end of the day, that’s my mf niece who personally made it and gave it to me, so wearing it 24/7/365 was never a question for me

DUCK BOY IS PUTTING HIS TRUST IN THE WRONG PERSON, BUT I DON’T CARE CAUSE HE APPARENTLY BLEW UP A HOSPITAL.

ALSO: IS LOVELACE AN ALIEN? (or my reaction to episodes 35-37 of Wolf359, plus the end credits scene).

Welcome back dear readers. Thanks again for your patience. Very excited for this end credits scene 👀

Tagging the mutuals who got me invested in this, and if you want to be tagged or untagged from these posts, lmk, or you can follow my blog or simply follow the tag "#bods wolf359 reactions". Anyone who has followed me for a while knows my updates are inconsistent, so I apologize in advance for that and for any spelling/grammar mistakes in my posts.

@sophieswundergarten @oflightningandstars @acollectionofcuriousreblogs @herawell @commsroom

Episode 35: Need to Know

Oh boy. A Kepler episode. 😒

“Are we blowing up?” sad that this has become a routine question.

“certain questions only lead to pain” very true.

“head of I don’t give care do your job department” Well Kepler, maybe I’m the head of the throwing you out the airlock department.

Kepler man you gotta give them better info. The lack of trust is insane. “Don’t forget where you are, I will give you a gruesome death.”

Doug. Doug. Do not trust Kepler.

Do not trust the evil Whiskey man.

oh shut it Jacobi. Every time you speak, you take-

Wait. Hera? HERA?

New file? Emergency scenario?

THE BLACK ARCHIVES AGAIN. 👀

“A violation of Kepler’s trust”. Well, I for one do not think Kepler’s trust is worth anything.

oh my gosh are they trying to tear the Hephaestus crew apart by reviewing their dirty secrets?

This is so sneaky and coordinated. I hate Maxwell and Jacobi so much.

DO NOT MOCK MINKOWSKI FOR HER LOVE OF SHOW TUNES JACOBI!

I want Maxwell and Jacobi to join Kepler in his airlock. For those of you who love SI-5, fear not. I will pack them plenty of Whiskey for the journey.

Fear of… ducks? 🦆 Well. I suppose we found his weakness. See Jacobi you shouldn’t have mocked the show tunes.

Restraining order? What’s up with Maxwell’s families?

A BET?

An internet scam? I don’t care if this is Jacobi pretending to be stupid, he’s perfect for the role. Maybe the airlock will be a merciful death for him. No ducks in space.

Uh… what report is that? Hera?

Oh my gosh is it the ducks again? “Hostile assault on senses?” What does that mean? Snoring? Well, that’s bad.

They got dirt on Kepler now? 👀 Oh. He likes expensive skiing. ⛷️

Wait. We can use this. Maybe we can sabotage his skis. Cause a little accident.

Hera wouldn’t try to kill you! She just wants free will!

“Oh boo hoo I killed a plant. At least I didn’t drug my fellow crew members.” shut up duck boy.

DUCK BOY BLEW UP A HOSPITAL?

I respectfully disagree. These holes are not equally deep. Minkowski loves theater, and Hera just wants free will. Duck boy blew up a hospital.

What’s the file? Her husband better not be dead. Oh is this about Doug?

That was about Doug wasn’t it? Whatever crime he did? The reason he doesn’t talk to his family?

Yikes. Doug what did you do?

Aw Doug. Thank you for apologizing. See Minkowski? He cares about you. He’s not a monster, even if he did do a bad thing.

That’s the real reason Kepler, Jacobi, and Maxwell did this isn’t it? So that they’d lose trust in Doug?

Jacobi shut up. Kidnapping? Child endangerment?

That doesn’t sound good. Was this a custody arrangement gone wrong? That’s my best guess so far. Cause that, plus the family stuff seems like a custody arrangement gone wrong. He mentioned cigarettes and beer a lot so maybe there were substance abuse issues.

But… if I’m right…that means that Doug… has a kid. A kid he probably misses and regrets hurting. And they made HIM answer questions from third graders.

If that’s true they’re awful. I mean, we already knew that, but yikes.

“What about you? Are you going to care? Goodnight 🥰” shut up duck boy. Episode 36: Fire and Brimestone Oh dear is this the Spider lab? 🕷️ It better not be.

“Too early?” You’re in space there is no morning.

“How did they survive without an engineer?” they weren’t supposed to Maxwell, you know that. What you also don’t know is how smart they are.

SL7? Haven’t used it for much? Why do the ships have so many weird and ominous rooms?

“and that’s…bad???… which means???…” me too Doug, me too.

Oh great Duck Boy gets more dynamite. 🧨

Minkowski call him out. And duck boy, no one cares about you.

“Maybe we don’t have to get her out” Exactly what I’ve been saying! Let her go. I wish it was Mr. Duck Boy or Discount Cutter: Whiskey Edition, but at least we could eliminate one problem.

“How do we make this call?” Well, this episode title seems to have done that. I see this as a win. Maxie survives, she gets a shot a redemption. She dies eh… it’s a bit like this hot chocolate I have in my hands. /j

“I couldn’t care less what Kepler thinks” I don’t either, let’s drown him in Whiskey 🥰

What thought? WHAT THOUGHT? Leaving Maxwell to die or killing her?

Look Doug. 99% of the time, I don’t like or go with the murder plan. But you’re in space. They could say you died up here and no investigation would take place. We don’t know what Cutter is doing, but we DO know who is cool with murder for their ambition, and who won’t stop until they get what they want. Other lives are at risk. Maybe thousands. Maybe the whole world if aliens get involved. You need to think about that.

Minkowski. Do not hold that over him. It’s private. You don’t know what happened. Neither do I, I’m making an assumption, but based on evidence presented, I think it’s a decent guess.

“Impossibly smart.” Mr. Duck Boy can be good at explosives but that doesn’t make him smart.

Did they program Hera to snitch? I hate them. I hate the whole SI-5.

I don’t like this. If Kepler hurts Minkowski I swear…

Your hand is not forced Kepler. No one is making you kill. That’s your choice.

I’d trust Doug over Hilbert.

“Then we all go together”. I love Doug the most.

But we still need a plan to kill Discount Cutter. And Duck Boy.

Critical condition? Poor Maxwell. But this isn’t gonna be good for Minkowski. She was only trying to help.

Yeah… it’s weird that they were that perfect. Almost like the stupid boy thing was a front to get you to put your guard down. But I still consider him incompetent.

They better not lock Minkowski in solitary. The last friendly warning? Whiskey boy, nothing about you is friendly. I hate him. Episode 37: Overture Off goes the probe. I wonder if it will find anything.

Sorry I’m doing chores while listening to this one, so reaction might be a bit brief.

Ugh. Of course Duck Boy is the favorite 🙄

THE MUSIC IS BACK! 🎶🎶🎶 And um… more sounds? Concerning sounds? Scary sounds? Very scary sounds?

Oh not the star again.

Translate from her thought stream? Binary code? Yeah, how do we know she’s actually translating.

Good idea Hera. Say something only Doug would know.

Oh more music. 🎶

Good work Doug. Don’t trust Maxwell. She makes you dependent on her to get to Hera, and then lulls you into a false sense of security.

Aliens leaving messages in music? I SAID THIS ON DAY ONE.

Kepler ought to shut his face. Using her love of space and her care for her crew against her? Perhaps the airlock is too merciful for Whiskey boy.

I did ride space mountain once. I didn’t like it.

I bet they did three months until the next episode too.

Now for that end credits scene 👀

I don’t hear anything.

Oh? Cutter’s telephone line?

Yep.

Huh. Jacobi and Maxwell aren’t deep on the inside. Seems like Duck Boy and Dr. Robot are also being played. Interesting…

…but here’s a question for you Kepler. Hilbert thought he was in the inner circle. You laughed because he’s not. Jacobi and Maxwell think they’re in the inner circle. You laugh because they’re not. You believe you are in the inner circle.

But how do you know there is not someone out there somewhere, laughing at you? And why would a man who knows so much about the dangers of space send up anyone he didn’t view as somewhat expendable?

Think about that Whiskey boy. Think about that.

Also: was Lovelace infected by the aliens? or did she make contact? Or is SHE the alien?

Well. I guess that’s all for now.

Thanks dear readers. Really getting through season 3 now. Excited to see what’s in store 👀

Do you think any of Harry's girlfriends after Taylor felt threatened in some way, the same way some of Taylor's boyfriends were?

Short answer: yes, of course. I think all of them. How could they not have been?

Longer answer:

First of all, I need to lead by saying that I think that ALL BUT 4 songs of H’s post-Up All Night discography (lyric credits, song writing credits) are partially or entirely about Blondie. If you are curious: Carolina, Cherry, TPWK, Cinema.

And by girlfriends, I mean the women who got close enough to him to suspect/know. And there have not been many. CR and OW, and KJ had to know.

And listen to his songs, and look at the MVs that he continues to put out. And the way he selects songs for his concert setlist and pairs songs in concert (like the Two Ghosts into Falling for the Fall 2021 HSLOT concerts, as well as the finale). And his skin! Tattoos he has said he doesn’t regret and he has not removed are like a shrine to his feelings for her.

And the generous way he has always and still speaks about her. The goofy smile he still gets when her name comes up in interviews. His demeanour when he approached her at the 2021 Grammys!

If that were *my* romantic partner, hoo boy. I would not feel super secure.

And while this is total spec, I wonder if intimidation on OW’s part is what motivated the Ol*v*a tattoo. My guess is that it is from early-ish in that relationship (when H thought Blondie was on the way to marrying YB). During the time when he was writing LOML and Cinema and As It Was. When he was like “I have to move on.”

Which…well…you know my thoughts (based on observation of things like concerts and recent MVs) there. That fleeting feeling passed.

two minutes [2/2] - murdock x afab!reader

sorry this took so long!

this got out of hand hoo boy *sprints away*

warning(s): nsfw, predator/prey kink, implied strength kink, knife mention, death mention, implied breeding kink, bondage (reader is restrained), dom/sub elements, orgasm denial

For the first time today, you have a bit of sense and don't linger, sprinting out the backdoor and into the large forest that sits behind the edges of your neighborhood. When you'd signed the lease with Murdock on the location, you'd initially been awed by the soothing sounds of nature, the wind shifting through the trees and the chirping of various wildlife. Each of the homes were fairly isolated from each other, sitting in their own pocket of calm amidst the wood.

That calm is a foreign concept to you now.

As you run through the trees, you make a point to avoid the main path on the off chance you ran into anyone—it was late afternoon in the middle of the week, but you didn't want to take any chances, too afraid or curious? to see what would happen to any poor person Murdock would find you with. A faint flash of regret flickers through you, wondering what would be different if you hadn't responded to Murdock's posting looking for a roommate online.

Well, for one, you wouldn't be running for your life to get away from a serial killer.

Occasionally you glance behind you, thinking you'd see Murdock keeping pace with you as you tear through vegetation but there's nothing but the setting sun casting shadows on the forest floor.

Oddly enough, that makes you even more nervous.

You pass by a large collection of rocks, almost forming a makeshift cave and after a moment of deliberation, slide into the dark space. Murdock did say you could hide and this would probably be your best bet. After getting settled, you pat at the pockets of your jacket for your phone—Murdock's jacket, one you'd stolen after he left it on the couch one evening—and curse quietly, realizing you never unhooked it from the charger on your desk.

You're not sure of the time, but it feels like it's been much longer than two minutes. Inhaling slowly, you try to relax your breathing, which sounds especially loud in near-silence of your little nook. You were as hidden as you could get and all you could do now was listen out for Murdock.

So, you wait.

You wait and continue to wait for what feels like hours as the sun slowly falls below the horizon, the forest growing dimmer around you. Your leg starts to bounce, an odd mixture of anxiety and impatience building within and a part of you debates on getting up and running away even farther, because while you had put a significant amount of distance between you and the house, it never hurt to be safe.

Just as you start to get to your feet, a sharp whistle cuts through the air, the sound unlike any of the chirps of the birds you'd been hearing.

"Y/N..."

The sound of your name has you pressing further against the walls of the little cave, sticking as best as you can manage to the shadows of the space. It doesn't sound like he's anywhere nearby, but you don't dare take the chance.

"You can't run from me forever, pretty thing."

You bite your cheek to keep yourself from replying, the sheer arrogance in his voice making your face warm. He was so confident he was going to find you, and the thought of his hands on you—those fucking gloves—had you adjusting the way you were sitting, desperately ignoring the urge to chase that pulsing heat that'd been building between your thighs ever since you started running.

"By the way, I'm a little disappointed in you," Murdock continues, and this time he sounds further away, like he's walking in a direction opposite of your location. This knowledge doesn't make you happy like it should've. You wanted him to find you. "You left before I could finish explaining the rules of our little game. I didn't even get to tell you what your reward would be if you won."

He sounds like he's pouting and you can picture it near-perfectly, Murdock standing in the middle of the woods, covered in dried blood, more than likely still wielding that knife from earlier—pouting. The image is more than you can bear and you let out a little snort of laughter, wincing immediately afterwards. You slap your hand over your mouth and press your backs up against the rocks, hoping desperately he didn't hear anything.

...

"Aw. That's too bad." The dangerous purr comes from behind you and you whip to the side, catching the glint of Murdock's sunglasses in the dark. "I think you would've enjoyed it."

Shit!

You spring to your feet, but Murdock is both faster and stronger than you are, easily tugging you back into the near darkness. He pins you against the rocks with his hips, the weight of them heavy against your own and you try to squirm out of his hold without inadvertently grinding against him. Too distracted with not trying to do so, he catches your wrists together with one hand, the other tugging something out of his back pocket.

You're more than a little ashamed of the whimpering noise you make when he gets the zip-ties around you wrists and slowly raises your bound hands above your head, together your fingers together in a mockery of a handhold.

This close you can just barely make out the color of his eyes when he glances down at you over the rims of his sunglasses, a pale red you'd hesitate to call pink, but a pretty shade nonetheless.

"Pl-please," you whine and he grins, leaning in to brush his nose up the side of your neck.

"Already begging and I haven't even done anything other than tie you up a little." Murdock says lowly, squeezing the hand he's holding captive up against the wall and you shudder, glancing down to stare at his shirt. His gaze was too much to look at this close. He laughs at this and nips at your ear to make you jump, whimpering softly because the heat between your legs is unbearable at this point.

Unconsciously shifting your hips, Murdock catches this movement and adjusts his grip, putting you in the perfect position to rut against his thigh. "You got all worked up waiting for me to find you, didn't you? Pretty little thing..."

"Ah—! W-wait, Murdock, wait I need—please, just—!"

You cry out when he lifts up and in, the muscle of his thigh applying just the right amount of pressure against your center.

Murdock kisses your pulse, his smile sharp on your skin. "What do you need, pretty thing? What can I do for my perfect little prize?"

Your shame has gone right out the window, right alongside your morals when you didn't immediately try to call the cops after finding your roommate killed someone in your basement.

"I wanna f-feel, the gloves, your hands, can you please touch—mm!" Your head drops forward and you moan in into Murdock's chest when he pulls his thigh away, the edge you were swaying against drifting away with his touch. He tugs one of your legs up, muttering under his breath at how cute you were—so perfect and pliant, look at how easily you bare yourself to me, sweet thing—and you flush horribly at the how chill the air feels between your legs, but it does nothing to cool your ardor.

Murdock releases your hands, whispering against your lips for you to keep them there and you obey readily, more focused on feeling him tug your underwear down your legs as he drops into a crouch. Your eyes widen and you go to drop your arms when he fixes you with a stare, one brow raised in warning.

"I won't tell you again, Y/N."

You bite your lip, an action that makes his gaze darken with a vicious heat. "I-I'll behave. I promise."

He smiles—your smile—and leans in to press a kiss against your clit. "Good. Oh, and try not to move."

Which is incredibly easy for him to say, as he presses a finger into your warmth, the size of it only intensified by the sensation of his gloves. Your hips jump, serving only to press him deeper and he clicks his tongue, brushing your clit with his thumb.

“Don’t you want to be good for me, pretty thing?” Murdock asks lowly and you whine, fisting your hands in your struggle to stay still.

“Y-yes, but—you’re making it hard. You’re cheating!”

He huffs out a laugh and leans down to lick a hot stripe up the side of your neck and continues to relish in your inability to stay still as he presses another finger into you. All you can do is focus on trying to keep your body still, losing yourself to the feeling of Murdock fucking you on his fingers. Before long, one more is sliding in alongside the others and you feel so—

“—taking my fingers so well, sweetheart, that’s it.” Murdock lifts his palm and God, that’s the perfect angle for you to grind against. Your moans reach a higher pitch, your hips now following his pace as best as they can manage and you’re so close…

Murdock pulls his fingers out of you the second you get to the edge and the denial burns, making you keen. He shushes you, leaning in to lick into your mouth, kissing away your frustration with slow sweeps of his tongue. You come down slowly, the burn of your arousal still present, and when Murdock pulls away you’re left flushed and panting. He groans, tugging you down onto the bulge in his pants and rocks up into you.

“Please, Murdock…” You drop your arms to hook them over his shoulders and he lifts a brow, his hips still pressing against yours in a lazy rhythm. A flash of impatience strikes you then and you fist a hand in his hair, tugging just hard enough for you to see his nostrils flare.

You watch somewhat helplessly as he leans back to shove his pants and boxers down enough to get his cock out—no, God, you wished you could feel those piercings inside you—using the hand he had inside of you to slick himself with your juices. He presses back against you but keeps just enough distance between your lower bodies, his other hand keeping your hips pinned back and you whine, unable to rub your thighs together for some level of stimulation with one of his legs keeping your own pinned. “Wait, no, I'm sorry for moving, please—” you say, frantically trying to get him to move closer but Murdock is completely unfazed by your desperation.

“I told you to stay still. So, instead of getting to cum all over my fingers, you get nothing.” Murdock lets out a growl then, his grip tightening slightly as his pace picks up. “Instead of getting to come on my cock, instead of letting my get you nice and full with my cum, you get to sit and watch.”

This is torture, you think, biting your lip hard enough to hurt as your eyes stay locked on the sight of Murdock jacking himself off between your legs and you go to look away, the denial burning in your veins. Your head is quickly yanked back to face him by a firm grip on your chin and you choke on whatever protest you had in mind.

“Eyes on me. I'm going to—mm, fuck—come all over these pretty little thighs of yours and you’re going to thank me for it,” he hisses and you make a noise of protest but he shakes his head. “After that you’ll get dressed and I'll give you another two minutes to run. Or hide. But you know how well that worked out for you last time, don’t you, sweetheart?”

Not well.

Well…

“Just because I know just how good you can be for me, I'm willing to give you another chance. Interested in trying again?”

Are you?

hoo boy, time to talk about the relationships w the fam...

long post fr

lu is incredibly family orientated. always has been, always will be. for him his motto is; at the end of the day, all you have is your family. after getting denied by the elders over and over, he tried really hard not to let their denial get to him but he has feelings after all, so ofc it stings a liiiiiittle bit. it can be a disheartening tho, being an outsider even though you're one of them. it gets lonely knowing no one will just listen, but hey! at least theres family right?? but in the end not even his family would be there for him yeah he may not have been the best brother all the time, sometimes he got too caught up in his dreams and would forget to check in on people. but that didnt mean he didnt care about them!! he could've been better, sure. but after what they did??? would've been a waste of time after it was all said and done

lucifer and god - ~dni~ thats it thats all you need to know LOL. lu is BIG mad. still.

lucifer and lilith - bruh i could go on all day about these 2. first and foremost, luci was smitten for her almost immediately but tried his damn hardest to not make it obvious (he failed he's gomez addams coded what do you expect) mainly out of respect. and bc that was against the rules and he knew better, he' was still a son of god yknow?? he knew better. but the heart wants what the heart wants. but he did try to keep it platonic at first! besides michael, she was his first friend. she actually listened to him ramble on about his dreams, and didnt judge him regardless of how unheard of they might be. she was the only person to not look at him with a blank stare or disapproval, and as if he didn't have the utmost respect for her seeing as shes (now) the mother of his child, she had earned every bit of his respect back then, just for giving him a chance. to him, she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen in his entire existence, both on the outside and inside ofc but the inside was what had him giggling and kicking his feet and shit lmao. to him, she had a light to her that he's never seen before and it gave him hope. if it wasn't for her by his side, he would have never had the balls to give eve the apple. he was far too scared to do it on his own. even though the whole ordeal didn't exactly go exactly according to plan (he has the tendency to not think about the consequences to his actions) in the end, she had his back. not his family. she became his REAL family. and for that, together or not, he will ALWAYS be grateful for her.

lucifer and charlie - THATS HIS BABYYYYYY he's highkey always wanted a family of his own, and once he held charlie for the first time?? he immediately felt like it was all worth it. as much as he often times feels ashamed and sometimes regrets giving eve the apple, he knows that if none of that happened, he wouldnt have charlie. charlie is truly his saving grace, who needs heaven when youve got your own little ball of sunshine. and she calls you dad!!! bonus!! after lilith and charlie left, he gave up on himself. as if literally watching the sinners pile in because of HIS decision wasn't enough of a burden on his shoulders, them leaving made him give up entirely. he stopped making appearances, he started getting behind on work, he really let everything go. and the one thing he truly regretted letting go of, was charlie. even though he made little to no attempt to fix their relationship (talking about the past is hard ok), she was always on his mind. he actually has multiple boxes filled with toys (mainly rubber duckies) that he had made for her over the years they've been apart, specifically for her. he will most definitely try to hide those boxes for all of eternity bc thats absolutely gotta look pathetic. also bc he knows he doesn't have any right to miss her, he did the absolute bare minimum to see her. just another one of his many regrets to add to the list. nowadays, he tries more to spend time with her. get to know her! but this is literally the first time he's tried to make amends...with anyone. so he's relearning how to be a dad to an adult, instead of a child. children forgive much easier than adults do so he's struggling™ . but besides that he's a proud dad!! she proved to him there's always a reason to keep trying. he doesn't know if redemption is possible. but thanks to charlie, he knows its worth fighting for at least. he'll forever be charlies #1 supporter now.

lucifer and michael - NAH THESE TWO HURT MY SOUL. lu and michael we're definitely the closest. two peas in a pod, basically twins!! michael was truly his best friend, and lucifer really thought their bond was unbreakable. he thought that michael would always have his back. i mean...he's always had mikeys back so he kinda expected the same yknow?? lesson learned tho. because when it came down to facing the music, michael was right there with the congregation -- judging him. even though lucifer silently plead for michael to do something, say something, defend him. he was met with dejected eyes. looking exactly like the others. in that moment, he realized that the michael he thought he knew... was nowhere to be found. perhaps they never even existed. maybe it was wishful thinking on lucifers behalf. but that didn't make it hurt any less. dont get me wrong, lucifers used to being rejected, but not once did he ever expect michael to be a part of the rejection. and thats what hurt the most. the betrayal. now, michael and god are tied for first place in the "who does lucifer hate the most" race. there's a part of him that really does miss michael...but that part can easily be overlooked. the shame anger, hurt and betrayal overpowers the loneliness he feels. even though he hates michael, he still has some respect for them. even though he will NEVER admit to that. that's why he will never talk trash about michael. he might make some smartass comment, but he won't explicitly talk shit. he still cares about michael.

lucifer and gabriel - if you hear luci refer to some as "tattletale" he's most likely talking about gabe 😂. to lucifer, gabriel has always been the epitome of a goody-goody. don't get me wrong, ALL of them we're in some way shape or form a goody-goody, but gabriel seemed like they always went the extra mile for the cause (hint hint playing messenger boy / girl for god) and for that, luci would def poke a liiiiittle fun at them. nothing crazy, just playful banter. typical big brother little sibling behavior. tbh to lucifer, gabriel was kinda like the third-wheel. the one that always had to come with (tfw ur dad says "bRiNg YoUr LiTtLe SiBlInG wItH yOu")

more tba

#this has been sitting in my drafts for too long #i will be adding more to this later on btw #yall cant tell me luci didnt wrap his wings around lil as a means to protect her like mans took the full force of the impact for her #blood and feathers everywhere and hes just like 🤕👍worth it #also i used gender neutral terms for his siblings bc technically angels dont have genders they can define themselves how ever they please #ㅤ 𖤐 ʾ ⠀[ ⠀ ꜱᴄʀɪᴘᴛᴜʀᴇ.⠀ ] ⠀ : ⠀headcanon #long post /

Are the ArchieSonic comics actually an 80's/90's syndicated cartoon? Episode 40: The one episode that's unique to the show's premise and characters (part 3: Iron Dominion)

Welcome back to my look at the ArchieSonic comic series, and how it shared a lot of the same story tropes as a typical ‘80s or ‘90s syndicated cartoon! Today my search for stories that are the most unique to the comic’s premise and characters takes me into Ian Flynn’s run. It's a beefy old post for a beefy old arc, which is why it's taken me so long to get this thing out. Hoo boy.

Ian wrote a lot of really great stories in ArchieSonic over the years, such as Enerjak Reborn, the Mecha Sally and Secret Freedom Fighters saga, and of course, the epic Sonic #175, where Eggman actually won. And that’s just in the main Sonic book! Sonic Universe also has lots of great arcs, including The Shadow Saga, The Tails Adventure, Scrambled, and the “Dark Trilogy” involving Shadow and Knuckles vs Eclipse. But I think the most unique ArchieSonic story Ian ever told was the Iron Dominion arc, stretching from Sonic #201 - 212, and Sonic Universe #9 - 16 (as the impact of Espio’s absence was felt during the Knuckles: The Return arc). There's too many covers to include from the full arc, but here are a few of my favourites:

Following Sonic getting his arse kicked in #175, issue #200 saw Sonic get his revenge by taking down Dr. Eggman so easily that Eggman completely lost his mind and was reduced to a babbling, catatonic state.

But Snively had been paying attention to the doctor’s decaying mental state and plotting behind the scenes for the transition of power…

That’s right - Ian brought back two characters who had only made a single appearance in the comics before, in Sonic #60: the Iron King and Queen.Taking control of Eggman’s diminishing forces - which was mostly just the recently rechristened Dark Egg Legion - the Iron Queen added to it with her own armies of four ninja clans. On top of that she also had her technomagic abilities to control robotics and superpowered ox partner, making her a formidable opponent indeed.

This new threat brought back another long-absent character, Monkey Khan, who reluctantly joined forces with the Freedom Fighters in the fight against the Iron Dominion. The fight went back and forth for awhile before Snively realised that Regina’s power over digital and robotic forms would allow her to take control of Nicole’s digital consciousness.

Converted into the Iron Queen’s servant, Nicole turned the nanite city of New Mobotropolis itself against its citizens and captured a large portion of the population before Sally was able to restore her free will. Realising that even if they beat the Iron Queen now that she would come back with the rest of her ninja armies, Sally took a trip to the Dragon Kingdom with Monkey Khan, Sonic and Tails to try and convince the clans to break their ties with the Iron Queen. Nicole stayed undercover pretending to be the Iron Queen’s servant while secretly sabotaging her plans and freeing prisoners where she could until Sonic and co. returned for the big showdown. The Iron King and Queen were defeated, but in a panic Snively returned to Eggman (who had regained his senses by that time) and they were able to escape back to their base, preparing for Eggman’s next attack that would be the most devastating of all.

This was such an interesting arc! It shook up the status quo for a full year before Eggman returned to power and gave us some really interesting character moments and arcs. For instance:

Sonic and Eggman

Eggman completely losing his mind after Sonic defeated him one time too many was a big surprise, and gave Sonic a lot of self-doubt and regret about how he’d handled the battle. When Eggman later escaped Snively’s custody and Sonic came to face to face with his loony butt again, Sonic actually found himself holding back because he felt bad for beating him so easily in his fragile state. I personally love this moment after they locked Eggman up and Sonic humoured his insanity rather than being mean to him.

It’s a really interesting side of Sonic we don’t always get to see a lot of (although it's been shown a bit more regularly in IDW Sonic), and it was a really nice moment for him especially in contrast to how previous writers had portrayed Sonic as a jerk.

As for Eggman, he was a lot of fun in this arc. He went from absolutely Batbrain crazy (pardon the pun) to reasoning himself back from insanity.

And he turned out to be absolutely right, too. Almost immediately after that conversation when the tables turned and Snively found himself on the losing team, he panicked and went straight back to Eggman.

Also, this moment NEVER gets old. :D

Sally and Monkey Khan.

This arc was an important one for both of them to develop not just as individuals, but also as a couple. Ken Khan had been absent from the comic for a long time - the last time he showed up had been Sonic #92 (except for a brief, single page cameo in #125), and he’d left a pretty bad impression then by attacking a group of innocent people just because he associated them with Eggman.

Also, that. :P

Ian had to do a lot of work to make him a likable character, but I think he pulled it off. Ken had a lot of rage and pain due to the loss of his own team of Freedom Fighters, whom he later admitted he had actually murdered himself while under the Iron Queen’s control.

Over the course of the arc Ken slowly came to terms with the losses he’d endured and the feelings of guilt and self-doubt he was still suffering from, as well as gradually accepting the responsibility of being “King of the Free People.”

As for Sally, she had already been well on the road to recovery from the dark days leading up to and following the slap (which honestly you could probably trace all the way back to the post-Sonic Adventure arc, after Sally was separated from the Freedom Fighters and got stuck with royal duties). She’d gotten her head back in the game and returned to active duty, and even cut her hair to symbolise returning to her Freedom Fighter roots. With Ken showing up, Sally was given an opportunity to explore whether she was interested in a relationship with someone who wasn’t Sonic.

They worked well together but in the end Sally decided that she had to see if she and Sonic could still work as a couple before she was ready to think about other options. And Ken showed how much he’d grown over the course of the arc by gracefully accepting the rejection rather than losing his temper.

Ken and Sally remained good friends afterwards, with Sally even going to him to ask for advice when she and Sonic were preparing to go on their first date. It was a nice relationship I would have liked to have seen more of, but unfortunately the next time that we saw Monkey Khan, Sally had now been roboticised.

Snively and Regina.

Now this one was really fascinating to me. Snively is probably the most selfish, self-serving, back-stabbing character to ever grace the pages of Sonic the Hedgehog, so watching him actually start to care about someone was a big change. In Sonic #194, prior to Eggman’s defeat, Snively started chatting online with Regina as part of a routine check, but was surprised to find she was someone who he could relate to and bond with.

They essentially started a long-distance relationship as a couple after that, although it was done in secrecy, of course. When Snively noticed that Eggman’s mental state was rapidly deteriorating, he plotted with Regina to take control of the Eggman Empire without even having to do anything to get Eggman out of the way themselves. While it was pretty obvious that Snively was completely smitten with Regina, there was a lot of debate among the fandom about whether or not Regina felt the same way or if she was simply using him as part of her grab for power. This eventually was answered several years later during the Scrambled arc in Sonic Universe:

We also got an interesting insight into Regina's backstory, finding out she was exiled from the human territories as a child for practicing illegal technomagiks.

Nicole and Bunnie.

The Iron Dominion arc was a rough one for both of these characters. One of Bunnie’s greatest fears is losing control of her robotic limbs and being forced to fight her friends. It happened once before when A.D.A.M used nanites to do just that, and it happened again during Iron Dominion when the Iron Queen used her technomagik to control her.

Not only did the Iron Queen force Bunnie to fight her friends, but she pushed her to her limits as well, draining her of energy to the point where she had to be briefly hospitalised afterwards.

As for Nicole, she didn’t just temporarily have her body controlled by the Iron Queen but her mind too. When the Iron Queen forced her to be her lieutenant, she was extremely effective at physically turning the entire city against its populace.

After having her free will restored, Nicole wasn’t entirely sure how to deal with what had happened to her, especially since she was so new at experiencing emotions as it was.

Those two issues had a massive impact on Nicole, as it started off a chain of events that resulted in her being temporarily exiled from New Mobotropolis and left alone in Freedom HQ, trying to deal with the grief of losing Sally to roboticisation, and blaming herself for the Freedom Fighters’ disbandment.

(continued in my next post - Tumblr has a limit on the number of images in a post, whoopsie. xD)
