you can call me heartless all you'd like, but it won't bring her back and it won't help you heal.
#tails the fox#shadow the hedgehog#sonic x#based on a roleplay I had with my partner. who writes an extremely incredible shadow#I write my thoughts here because Sonic X ending has me terribly fucked up#considering how young tails is to be suffering from grief I bet it's especially difficult to handle a kid who has no clue how to process it#who had to make an extremely unfair choice to kill someone he loves. and then to take it out on his big brother#Taking out his anger and insisting on blaming someone for cosmo's death... it's very heartbreaking.#Imagining if Shadow had come back and Tails had not finished grieving yet. there already soooo much anguish#Exploring grief in art is very very fun but there is something so gutwrenching imagining someone so young have to figure out how to deal#with that. younger people often acting out and not realizing how unfair they are until time has passed and not understanding#multi faceted perspectives etc. I know its a bit odd to go crazy about osmething like this over Sonic X but something about Cosmo and Tails#just hit very hard and I care about them very much. tails is huge favorite. i care about him so much#I probably shouldn't dwell on the sad parts of sonic x too much but that last scene tails has with sonic stuck hard#Can't imagine how strained it might feels for the next few months. and Sonic just takes it. Can't even look at Tails or answer him. HMMMM#anyways im done being chatty in tags I will delete my thoughts later as per usual. hehe. Sorry <3#sonic

Clarisse’s younger sister has feelings for Percy Jackson
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Percy Jackson x black!fem!reader (romantic), Clarisse La Rue x black!fem!reader (platonic)
Synopsis: the new boy, Percy Jackson, shows up to camp, Clarisse’s younger sister Y/N falls for him.
Warnings: Y/N & Clarisse have different godly parents, Clarisse grabs Percy Jackson, Y/N is daughter of Apollo
Tumblr media
I feel bad for the newbies that come to Camp Half Blood, my big sister, Clarisse, always feels the need to ‘break them in’ as she says. So when she told me she was going to be doing the same to the new boy, Percy, I felt bad for him.
Imagine my surprise when I saw her and her half-siblings storming out of the bathrooms, soaked. I looked to find the cause of her state walking out just a few minutes after her. I stared at him and he stared at me.
“You’re Percy Jackson, the boy who killed the Minotaur, correct?” I asked him, unlike Clarisse I wasn’t that skeptical to not believe him. Sometimes things just happen and you get that adrenaline rush.
“Uh..yea, I am.” He said, he seemed cautious of me. “Aren’t you Clarisse’s younger sister?” He asked me.
I stepped closer to him and held out my hand, I noticed the boy was slightly shorter than me. “Y/N La Rue, daughter of Apollo, best bow user at camp. Pleased to meet your acquaintance.” I said with a confident smile.
“Percy.” He said, shaking my hand and letting it go. For a boy, he had really soft hands. “Percy, did you somehow do that to Clarisse?” I asked. “I mean if you did, I don’t hate you for it or anything. It’s finally time someone here stood up to her, someone who isn’t Luke.”
“I don’t really know how to explain it..” he said to me, looking down at his hands. “Honestly, I’m not even sure I understand how it happened.”
I hummed and looked at the sky for second before looking back at him. “Well it was nice meeting you, Percy. Let’s chat again sometime, okay? Okay.” I said, not giving him the chance to respond as I walked back to my cabin.
Tumblr media
The next day was capture the flag, and as usual, the Apollo kids were on the red team with the Ares kids. Mainly due to the fact Clarisse didn’t want to hurt me since I’m her younger sister.
After the conch blew, the red team let out a war cry. I didn’t of course, I didn’t want to accidentally scream too loud and bust everyone’s ear drums.
I looked at the other side of the stream where I locked eyes with Percy, I smirked and sent him a wink before walking away with the rest of my team. Clarisse was barking orders and I could tell she had a plan up her sleeve, must’ve had something to do with last night.
She turned to me, “you already know what to do, lil’ sis.” She said, ruffling my hair with a smug smile. I put on my helmet then ran into the part of the woods where Clarisse would hunt.
My job was to stay in the trees and shoot down anyone who just so happened to stumble in there. If I was captured, use my sonic scream to let them know where I am and to distract my enemies.
I climbed up high in one tree, part of me couldn’t stop hoping I would see Percy though. In my honest opinion I thought he was kinda cute.
Over the last ten or fifteen minutes I was able to take down ten campers from the blue team. What I love about my cabin being on the red team is that, that means the blue team barely has any campers that are good with bows.
They have the Hermes cabin, of course, but most Hermes kids prefer swords. I could clanking and other noises out in the distance, one distinctive voice I could make out clearly was Clarisse’s.
I like watching her fight so I climbed down from the tree and ran to the direction of the noise. I could see the lakeshore, once I got there, Clarisse let out the most shrilling scream I had ever heard.
A scream of pure anger, and the expression she wore on her face was murderous. Her spear. Her spear was broken. The only thing she felt was the closest she could get to having some sort of connection with Ares, now it was broken.
My eyes flickered over to Percy, I felt my heart beat speed up. I couldn’t tell if it was because I saw him, or because Clarisse stormed over to him and lifted him off the ground slightly by his armor.
Before I could go and stop her, the horn blew and the blue team ran down to the shore carrying our flag. I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding when Clarisse dropped him.
She stormed passed me, nearly bumping me in the shoulder. Percy and I locked eyes, I wanted to talk to him and ask him what happened. I wanted to also congratulate him on his first win, but I knew I needed to talk with Clarisse. So, instead, I just gave him a small smile and walked off.
Maybe tomorrow I could get the chance to meet up and talk with him.

Devoid of Attention (Doctor Who Drabble)
Tumblr media
Tenth Doctor x GN!Reader / requests are open
Summary: The Doctor is oblivious as per usual
DW: @nyxiethesimp @quickslvxrr @midnight--raine @blueberry-sunshines @stevekempscocktails @go-bonkers-go-foolish @peytonpenguin37 (send an ask to be added to a tag list!)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Main Street in the London Central Business District in the eighteen hundreds was quite a sight to behold. Between the stunning architecture, the horrible smells, the carriages being pulled by gorgeous horses and the frilly clothes- oh, you were in heaven. Truly, you thought, nothing could get better than this. 
The Doctor had been explaining how he had a theory that the gargoyles found on the top of buildings in London were possibly real, flying stone aliens from some planet out yonder and that they may be responsible for a spate of disappearances along Main Street. It was interesting, but he was more talking to himself, really. 
You’d been listening, but had stepped away for just a moment when a paper boy had wandered by shouting about getting a copy of the latest release of the Times. It was a weird thing to collect, you understood, but who else could say they had a mint condition genuine London Times paper from… you checked the date- the twenty-fourth of November eighteen-eighty seven? Not very many, you would have thought. 
When you turned around, there was a dog sitting in the same spot you were just standing in a minute ago. You blinked, folding the paper under your arm and taking a couple steps towards him and the Doctor, who was having a rather lively conversation with the canine in question. 
“See nowaaah!- You’re a dog,” he said, sounding rather dumbfounded. “How- how did that happen?” He leaned forward and threw his glasses on to get a closer look at the pooch. You blinked again, not sure what to make of this situation before you. 
“Oh, but look at that transmogrification work,” he gasped, rubbing the dog’s ears and petting its head. “Oh, it’s gorgeous- you’re gorgeous! Undoing it might be a bit of work, but blimey- this is impressive!”
You weren’t sure how to approach this. Did you wait for him to notice? Did you break him out of his thoughts now? You weren’t sure. The only thing you were sure of was the fact that this was hilarious and also incredibly ridiculous.
The Doctor pulled his sonic out and scanned the dog, flicking the screwdriver back up to his ear to read the results. Hear the results? You weren’t really sure how it worked. 
“Hmm, that’s odd,” the Doctor said, and even from behind him you could see clear as day the expression on his face. That special expression with his mouth slightly ajar, eyebrows cast inwards and eyes darting off to the side as he tried to process the information he was receiving. “Sonic’s saying one hundred per cent dog. Not a sliver of human in there. Blimey, this might take a bit more effort than I thought.” 
You sighed, walking up behind him and whacking him over the head with the newspaper softly. 
“Oi,” the Doctor yelled, raising his hands to protect himself from this ruthless and unprovoked attack. “Wotchit!” 
The Doctor turned around to see you, hands on your hips and exasperated expression on your face. The irritation bled from his face in a second. 
“Ah, wait-” the Doctor looked to his left down at the rather mangy dog. “You’re not- oh, I see. I stopped paying attention again, didn’t I?” 
You snorted with laughter, not even caring how unattractive it sounded. 
“You think?!”
It did make for a good laugh, though. You’d never let him live this down. And every time you brought it up, the way his cheeks flushed and he grew just a touch embarrassed only made your bond stronger.

I love Jack and Sonic together, you literally just made me like oc x canon which I've never done before and now I'm making my own little ocs and shipping them shdjxixjdhxb does Jack and Sonic get together at the end ? if so, how does everyone react?
no, they don't get together. sonic inspires jack to leave her hometown and explore the world, and sonic has better things to do than be tied down. he's had enough of that to last a lifetime, after being stuck in snowpoint for so long, i think...
but the world is small when you're fast. and they run into each other often enough. as per usual with sonic and his rivals, their connection persists regardless of time or distance. and there's always time for one more race.

Suddenly, I Was A Lilac Sky
Summary: Sonic didn’t get the whole “touching” thing. That was until he started dating Shadow.
(In which Shadow's love language is physical contact and Sonic doesn't know how to handle it.)
Pairing: Sonic X Shadow / Sonadow
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: None
Word Count: 2,773
Ao3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40424127
Tumblr media
Sonic didn’t get the whole “touching” thing.
Sure, he understood that other people liked it, and he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t guilty of the occasional shoulder clap or playful noogie, but hugs? Long hugs that people seemed to melt into, careful caresses on the cheek, hands interlocked with a thumb gently rubbing against the other? He couldn’t do that. The thought of it made his quills stand on end.
It wasn’t that he hated the idea of it, per se, but whenever he imagined holding someone in such a way, or worse, being held like that, he couldn’t help but shiver. It just made him feel…weird. Uncomfortable? That was probably the right word. Probably.
Sonic was fine with more casual gestures, like high fives or fist bumps. They were short and sweet, and there was no weird tingling feeling he’d have to deal with afterward. Besides that, the blue blur had no interest in close physical contact.
That was until he started dating Shadow.
If there was one thing Sonic had convinced himself of, it was the idea that Shadow hated being touched. He always kept himself guarded, his arms crossed and his legs stiff so that anyone who would spare him a glance would immediately take the hint that he did not want to engage in any familiarities. The dark hedgehog was reserved, often making as little of an effort to socialize as possible. Sonic often teased him about it, telling him that he could tend to loosen up, but in truth, he related to the other’s introverted nature. He, too, didn’t care for being the center of attention, usually letting his friends do the talking when the need arose.
That was why their moments alone were so refreshing. Sonic would find Shadow on his own, ask him if he wanted to race, and then that was that. They would zip and fly over the hills and around the trees, no words or actions exchanged or needed, as they were already perfectly in sync with one another. Competition or not, Sonic felt comforted by Shadow’s company because he didn’t have to put on a mask. He didn’t have to force himself to deal with the exhaustion of being in one place for too long with too many people. With Shadow, he could just be.
It was only when they made it official between them that the young hero realized that Shadow had also been hiding.
It started small, with the occasional nudge on the shoulder or the brushing of hands, but as time went on, Shadow started getting more and more physical. Taking Sonic’s hand into his own out of nowhere, wrapping his arm around his shoulder during movie nights, resting his head on the other’s chest while they stargazed; it was as if the hybrid was actively trying to find excuses to touch the other at any given moment.
And Sonic was not complaining. Nope. Not at all. Because this was normal, right? They’re in a relationship, after all. A romantic relationship. He’s supposed to enjoy this. He wants to enjoy it. He will enjoy it.
Because they were in a relationship, now, and he just had to make a few adjustments.
                                                             -w-
Shadow didn’t know he was doing it, at first. It wasn’t until he’d leaned in to nuzzle against the other while they sat under the stars that he noticed the way Sonic’s muscles tensed up fiercely. The hybrid had recoiled so fast he’d nearly fallen over, “What’s wrong?”
“Huh?” Sonic had stammered, “Wh- nothing! I’m fine! All good!”
Of course, Shadow knew he was lying -- the hedgehog was anything but subtle -- so since then, he’d tried to make an effort to restrain himself. The last thing he wanted was to make his partner uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, this proved to be a more difficult feat than he’d initially thought.
Shadow received hugs often, a side effect of having Rouge as a friend and roommate, and he’d be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy the contact from time to time. This wasn’t to say that he’d let just anybody run up and hug him -- they’d likely be launched into next week if they tried -- but when it came to those he knew, the people he trusted, suddenly the contact wasn’t strange or frightening. It was…warm. Comforting. Safe.
So he started seeking it out more. It varied from person to person; Rouge would often get a hand on her shoulder or an elbow nudge if he were feeling playful. Amy probably got more hugs out of him than he’d ever given anyone, which was hard to avoid considering she was usually the one engaging them. Little Cream was blessed with head pats and nose boops from the hybrid, earning him a giggle that could rival a jingling bell.
And then there was Sonic.
Shadow sometimes felt like the blue blur was a magnet pulling him in. He just simply couldn’t help himself. The eccentric hedgehog had grown on him over the years, and that fondness was quick to blossom into something far more intimate. Upon realizing these feelings, Shadow found himself wanting to practically climb on top of the other and just stay there all day. His hands were constantly itching to run through those tangled quills and straighten them up, his arms felt empty without holding the other in them, and his face felt cold when it wasn’t huddled in the crook of the hero’s neck.
But that flinch…that obvious discomfort…the scene replayed in his head over and over for days. Even with how much he wanted -- needed -- to hold the other in his arms, Shadow stopped his actions altogether. It was hard for him, he couldn’t help but feel like he wasn’t being a good partner by refusing to express his love, but if it was what Sonic needed, then that’s what he would do.
Because they were in a relationship, now, and he just had to make a few adjustments.
                                                            -w-
They were sitting on the couch at Shadow and Rouge’s apartment, the latter enjoying herself at the club downstairs. It was movie night, the lights were off, and an array of snacks lay across the coffee table. The two hedgehogs were sitting on the couch, with Sonic slouching a bit with his hands on his stomach and Shadow leaning against the armrest, his chin in his hand.
They were…very far apart despite sharing a couch.
Sonic couldn’t care less about the characters on the screen before him. His mind was too occupied with thoughts of his darker counterpart. He’d been worried about him for the past few weeks, now. He noticed immediately that Shadow had suddenly grown distant, avoiding all kinds of contact unless it was needed. Even when they kissed, they were fleeting, the feeling of the other’s hands around his waist or cupping his cheeks now absent, leaving the young hero strangely cold.
Sonic bit the inside of his cheek. Was he mad? Had he done something to upset him? He racked his brain for any ideas as to what could have caused Shadow’s change in behavior: I was pretty reckless during that mission last week…and I’ve been leaving leftovers here by accident…maybe I need to shower? Oh Chaos, do I smell bad?
Shadow, meanwhile, felt like he was about to implode at any given moment. Sonic was fidgeting relentlessly, and naturally, his first instinct was to reach out and still his bouncing leg. The blue blur had been much more restless lately (well, for Sonic’s standards, he supposed). He just couldn’t seem to settle when they were together, almost as if he were waiting for an out. Like he didn’t want to be with him.
Shadow shook the thought from his head. No, he thought, you know that isn’t true. He makes it so obvious that he wants to be around you that a blind man could see it. 
Still, he couldn’t help the feeling of unease. Was there something the other wasn’t telling him? Should he ask? If he waited too long, would it be too late?
But then, just as the hybrid was about to speak, Sonic huffed out a sigh and reached for the remote, pausing the movie before straightening himself up on the couch and turning to the other, “Okay, I give. What’s up?”
Shadow blinked and echoed, “What’s up?”
“You’ve been avoiding me for, like, days dude,” The young hero explained, his frustration evident on his face in the cool light from the TV, “Clearly, something is eating you and you’re not telling me. Did--did I do something? Are you mad at me?”
“Mad?” Shadow couldn’t help but sputter, “Why on Earth would I be mad?”
“I don’t know!” Sonic threw his arms in the air, “I’m asking you!”
“I’m not mad, Sonic,” Shadow replied, “and what do you mean I’ve been ‘avoiding you’? Last I checked, we’ve been seeing each other daily.”
“Well, yeah, but--” Sonic groaned, hiding his face in his hands, “You’re not--I mean--you’re just being weird, okay?”
“How’s that?”
“You’re--” Sonic groaned louder, leaning back against the couch and staring up at the ceiling, “You’re not…touching me…anymore.”
Shadow felt his brain short-circuit. Huh? “I’m sorry, what?”
Sonic’s ears folded back; he did not want to have to say it again, “You know, like…holding hands, or…hugs or whatever.”
His voice got quieter and quieter as he spoke, the last few words barely more than a whisper. He could feel Shadow’s eyes boring into him, and he wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground and die. He must sound so needy right now, so pathetic. He could only imagine what Shadow was thinking, now. His boyfriend was nothing more than an insecure attention hog.
Shadow scooted closer to him, “You think I’m mad because I’m not…touching you?”
“Yeah? I guess?” Sonic shrugged, accepting his fate.
“I…” Shadow’s hand hovered over Sonic’s, his voice soft, “I thought you didn’t want me to.”
Sonic finally looked back at the other, “Wha…?”
“You always seem so uncomfortable whenever we get too close,” The hybrid stated, “You even flinch when I touch you, sometimes. I figured it was bothering you, so…I stopped.”
Now it was Sonic’s turn to feel his brain stall for a moment, “I…do I really?”
Shadow nodded, and Sonic let out an exasperated sigh, “Shads, I…It--it’s not that I don’t like it, I just…’m not used to being all…touchy, y’know?”
“So…what do you want me to do?”
“I don’t know, okay?!” Sonic barked, quickly retracting as if surprised by his sudden outburst. Then he muttered an apology as he leaned over, his face in his hands as his knee bounced furiously. 
Shadow watched as his partner fidgeted in place, once again refusing to meet his eyes. The hybrid sighed and slipped off the couch, kneeling in front of Sonic’s knees. The hedgehog looked up from his hands, catching his gaze. Slowly, carefully, Shadow took those hands into his own, his thumb absently stroking back and forth. The way the other’s quills bristled slightly did not go unnoticed by him.
“Is this okay?” He asked.
Sonic’s body felt like stone, but in the idea that he was hollow inside and a billion hyperactive bees were buzzing around violently, threatening to break out but being unable to do so, leaving him to just sit in stillness while his core burned with pure energy. It was a strange analogy, but the hedgehog couldn’t think of anything else to match his feelings right now. Heck, he could hardly think at all. He managed a quiet “Mhm,” in response to the other’s question.
Shadow nodded, then released his hands (Sonic’s fingers twitched, suddenly feeling too cold and too hot at the same time) before standing and removing his gloves. Naked striped hands carefully went to run up the other’s arms, the softness of his pads mixed with the gentle scratch of his claws sending shivers up Sonic’s spine. “How about this?”
“…’s fine,” He strained. Why was he so worked up? It’s not like Shadow was doing anything. He’d been on the hybrid’s bad side more times than he could count and had to undergo several dangerous blows, yet now all the hedgehog was doing was touching him, and the hero felt like he was going to die right then and there.
Shadow took in every reaction. Sonic looked overwhelmed, and he continuously wondered if he was doing the right thing, but he trusted Sonic. He trusted that he’d tell him if he was going too far.
Finally, the ultimate lifeform ran his hands up past the other’s neck and towards his face. Sonic inhaled sharply through his nose as he flinched back, his quills standing high on his back. Immediately, Shadow began to pull his hands away before they were suddenly grabbed, “W-wait.”
Concerned ruby eyes met hesitant forest ones as Sonic, moving slower than he ever had in his life, brought his hands back up to his face and guided them to either side, all while not breaking eye contact. Shadow responded by carefully -- oh so carefully -- cupping the other’s face and pressing down. Sonic’s eyes fluttered shut as he took in a shaky breath before releasing it slowly, his body suddenly melting underneath the other’s touch. His quills fell back and his ears folded comfortably as he leaned forward into Shadow’s hands.
Shadow felt a smile bloom over his muzzle, and he quietly asked Sonic to scoot back a bit before he shuffled in to sit on the other’s lap. This time, Sonic didn’t tense up, instead leaning into him as the hybrid wrapped one arm over his back as the other held his head. Sonic all but buried his face into the other’s shoulder, his arms coming up to wrap around the other’s waist.
Sonic pressed against his partner, breathing in the smell of lavender and earth as he sunk impossibly deeper into his embrace. The moment he’d felt Shadow’s hands on his face, it was like a switch had been flipped. Warmth had spread throughout his whole body as his muscles finally relaxed and he let himself fall limp into the other’s arms. Shadow was warm -- so warm -- against him, his weight pressing down on him in a way no weighted blanket in the world could replicate.
Then he felt his hand shift as he began to gently rake his claws over his back, just barely applying any pressure, and he couldn’t have been bothered to stop that pleased groan that vibrated through his throat, a soft clicking beginning to be heard from his chest.
Shadow’s ear twitched as he picked up the sound, assuming it to be something from outside. But then he not only heard but felt the clicking against his chest, and he leaned back to look Sonic in the eye, not faltering when the other whined from the loss of contact, “Is that you?”
Sonic blinked up at him, his eyelids pleasantly heavy and making him look like he’d just woken up from a long sleep, “‘s what me?”
“That sound.”
“Oh, yeah…I may or may not have just moaned in your ear--”
“Not that,” Shadow flushed, “the other one. It sounds like popping or something.”
Sonic raised a brow, “You mean…my purring?”
Shadow blinked owlishly, “You can purr?”
“Yeah,” The hero snorted, leaning back against the other’s shoulder again, “all hedgehogs do it.”
“I don’t.”
“I bet you do.”
“I think I would’ve noticed something like that by now.”
“You would think so, wouldn’t you?”
Shadow scoffed, resting his chin on his partner’s head, “Shut up.”
Sonic just chuckled softly as he relaxed back into his hold.
The TV screen had gone black much earlier, but the two hedgehogs couldn’t bring themselves to care, much more content to just sit and hold one another. Shadow continued to run his claws up and down Sonic’s back, beginning to take pride in the soft sounds he managed to get out of the hero. The darker hedgehog let his own eyes slip shut as he took in the feeling of Sonic against him. He may not let him hold him like this all the time, and he may still involuntarily retract at the offer to be touched, but Shadow was nothing but reassured that Sonic’s trust for him ran so deep that he’d let himself be vulnerable in this moment. The thought made the hybrid’s heart swell.
Soft, sporadic clicking sounds began to echo from Shadow’s chest, and Sonic smiled.

I decided it was about time I actually spent some time in fleshing things out for the Silent Hill AU thing I have been working on (trust me bro, those 200 hours I have on the game it's not a hyperfixation, it's research)
I guess this is how he looks now, not identical to how I envisioned him, as he is still missing the backpack, but those quills make it hard to fit one into any hedgehog character in the Sonic franchise, but for now, this is his final form.
Little useless facts about this:
-He's left handed (he just ike me for real!!!!)
-As per usual in Silent Hill, everything is composed of your own thoughts and fears, so the blood on his cuffs and jacket is entirely imaginary, he's the only one that can see it
-Like every hedgehog, he is sensitive to loud noises, the silencers on the guns are mostly for his own confort than any actual practical use
-Unlike his videogame counterpart, he wasn't evacuated from the Ark, he was taken in by GUN and has been on their care ever since, that's how he met Rouge and Omega
-Despite the jacket obviously being James Sunderland's jacket, the in-universe explanation for it is that he got it from Gerald while he still lived at the ARK, he had to get it fitted for him, but it's pretty much the same jacket that was given to him
-Also unlike his videogame counterpart, he lived longer at the Ark, his Maria died at age 16, 4 years later than the usual depiction of her death in the games and sonic x
-Sonelise is canon in this universe
-Shadamy is canon in this universe
-Jet and the babylon rogues are canon here too

Worlds do not align. (First fanfic review!!)
Tumblr media
this was one of the fics asked to be reviewed by @the-chozo-lord
*spoiler-free* *sort of*
tell me how i did on reviews!
So, i love sonic verse crossover fics and I was like hell yeah, sounds great lmao
Worlds do not align is truly a piece of work. It's unfinished but I know i will be following this to the end. This story begins with our dearly beloved (ha.ha.) X! Eggman yelling at his robots(the poor things) per usual. This time, the chaos energy was screwed with, and it cuts to our lovely SCU! boys, who are basically getting their souls wrenched out, their chaos energy being drained. Each wakes up in a different spot of the Sonic X world. SCU! Sonic ends up with X! Knuckles, SCU! Tails with the Rabbit family, and Knuckles in the woods. I am trying to make this as spoiler-free as possible, so i'll go off some of the points i really enjoyed.
Lady Rouge. The backstory that is given to Champion (SCU! Knuckles) is something that is extremely interesting, as well as horribly sad. The way they play Rouge in this is quite possibly one of the best ways I've seen her being put in the SCU. She is portrayed as the daughter of a noble, and met Champion when he was eight and she was nine. An incident occurred to them never meeting again, but i still think that it's worth being talked about.
The Tails backstory. We all know that when it comes to our boy Tails, he has one of the worst tales imaginable. I wanted to point this out because this whole time talking about it, he downplays everything, and that in itself is so insanely tails like i just wanted to applaud for the characterization of this. This leads me to my next point.
Therapy. Thank you. Thank you so much for giving the boys therapy. i have seen this in so many amazing SCU fics, and every time it just gives me gratitude. It's also mentioned that Tails has an inferiority complex, which is why he tends to downplay everything.
The Rabbits. Okay, this was once again an amazing take of Cream and Vanilla for the SCU. They took in Knuckles for a bit, until something happened and Cream's father died. Knuckles left, for their safety. I legit love this.
Tails' biplane. its mentioned that Tails came in rescuing his brothers from the island, from the second movie. And yet, it seems they still haven found where he got it from. When asked, Tails gives a look of innocence that, in the story's words, rivals Cream's. My guess is he stole it XD.
The end where it left off, where they reconvened with their parents, gave me a smile that lasted even when i began to write this. My favorite line was when it was stated that they had found a new tribe, a family that always had each other's backs. This fanfic was so much fun to read, and if you actually read this review, thanks! Check here for guidelines on sending fics in. Link for this lovely fic is here.
Happy reading! ~ Puppies and Nightlock

🌀Sonic 2 Rant 🌀 (Not really spoilers bit I'll tag just in case)
Just saw the Sonic 2 movie and I need to talk about it. Not about the movie per say. But of how the Sonic movies have restored my interest of humans in the Sonic franchise.
Now humans are nothing new in the Sonic universe. Besides Eggman, there are plenty of human characters to be seen. Though some we wish to forgot. I'm not talking about Sonic 06 mess.

( You're not clean either tooties. No one will ever forgot the sin you have done.)
No. The worse human character to ever be brought into the Sonic universe is Chris Thorndyke.
Tumblr media
THIS LITTLE SON OF AN (ACTUALLY LOVELY WOMAN) had ruin Sonic X for me. All the other human characters in the show are great. The uncle, the grandpa, the butler and maid, even Chris's friends. Enjoyable. Add something to the group/show. But Chris... he's so useless it hurts. All he does is get in the way and gets kidnap and shit. He keeps pushing himself into the agenda of the Sonic gang because he feels "left out". Like Chris, WE LEFT YOU OUT FOR A REASON!
Anyway, hate him. And I slowly started to dislike most humans in the Sonic franchise. They didn't really add to the story and usually served as a distraction most of the time. But then, Sonic the Movie came out. And two new humans were introduced
Tumblr media
Tom and Maddie Wachowski
They were funny. They played very important parts in the movie but never tried to steal the show from the blue blur himself. But they were still kinda new and new stuff to a beloved franchise is a little scary. It wasn't until the second movie that I can say with full confidence, that I LOVE Maddie Wachowski. (Sorry Tom)
Don't get me wrong, Tom is great in the movie too. Great dad vibes all around. But MADDIE! Stole the show! Came to this movie and dominated every scene she was in. There is a certain scene in Sonic 2 thay really sold me that I won't explain. Just that I really enjoy seeing strong African American women kicking butt. I care deeply for the humans in the movie series, which I didn't think I would. I was excited to see them on scene. And it wasn't just Maddie. Rachel (Maddie's sister), Stone( Eggman's boyfriend assistant), even Jojo (Rachel's kid) and Wade (Tom's cop friend). Their time on scene were very enjoyable and played important roles to the overall plot.
So go see Sonic 2. It's a great time. And gets me excited for Sonic 3. Not just for more Team Sonic shenanigans but for the human shenanigans as well...
But mostly Maddie

Type: Chaos Energy Theories and General Worldbuilding
Under a read more, if you're curious just open up the post!
I'm warning you, there's a lot of info here. But it does explain lots of things, soooo up to youuuuu~.
Tumblr media
So! A proper explanation of how Chaos Energy works in each world that my muses are in (the main universes, anyway). Alongside a little bit of tech-explanation per world. This-- will take me a lil' while to make. Let's get to it!
General
Tumblr media
Before we get down to brass tacks, there's something that needs to be understood about how all of my versions of Mobius deal with Chaos Energy- the thing put out by both the Master and Chaos Emeralds.
'Chaos Energy' is produced by all living beings- with mobians and humans (if the universe has humans) putting out the most amount of Chaos Energy. A way to think of it would be like life force/aura- constantly pushing out of the body like a steady stream. Like Nen from Hunter x Hunter, it can be trained and specialized towards specific abilities- like Sonic's supernatural speed, Knuckles'/Amy's strength, or Shadow's 'Chaos' attacks.
Tumblr media
Also like life force/aura/Nen, an overload of it- or completely lacking it- results in death. Mobians/humans who are sick generally put out less Chaos Energy, which others around them can 'sense' to a degree. Only highly-specialized Chaos Energy wielders can actually see Chaos Energy, though. For most, it's just a general sense. And of course, being overloaded with it- interacting with the Chaos Emeralds or Master Emerald- can result in death for the untrained wielder. There have been legends of beings who could wield the powers of the Chaos Emeralds/Master Emerald, but those are just old fairy tales- until Sonic & Co./Eggman began their constant struggle for the powerful gems.
Of course, this means that mobians and humans (regardless of universe) are like natural Chaos Energy batteries- so long as they aren't drained of too much, and are kept alive, they will continue to produce Chaos Energy indefinitely. For Dr. Eggman, this resulted in him experimenting and finding out that a creature even as small as a rabbit or a bird, if kept alive inside a robotic shell, could power his mechanical minions essentially indefinitely.
However, beyond that- the way Chaos Energy itself functions outside of mobians/humans, and how it is approached, differs per universe on this blog. So now we can actually delve into the differences!
Sandstorm
Tumblr media
The universe of Sandstorm is high-tech, low magic. Chaos Energy is treated essentially like an ultra-powerful electricity source, and almost nothing else. Magic is possible, but only through the unknown power of the Chaos Emeralds.- And usually, it results in things like Super Forms. Super Forms can only be granted by making a deal with the Chaos Emeralds. In this world, the Chaos Emeralds are pseudo-sentient- and like to keep everything in 'balance'. In order to have a Super Form, which requires a lot of 'Light' Chaos Energy... One must be willing to make a deal to absorb the same amount of 'Dark' Chaos Energy, whether all at once or over time. This shows for Sonic as his werehog form, which he is permanently stuck having every single night.
If one's internal Chaos Energy evolves enough (or it is trained/honed to a degree), it will begin to output its own form of power. You can think of this like an artist first starting and drawing stick figures (those who never train/evolve their Chaos Energy), vs. an artist of thirty or so years of practice putting out masterpieces (those who train/evolve their Chaos Energy).
Beings like Bless and Silver have subconsciously trained their Chaos Energy from birth, thanks to the environment they grew up in. This resulted in super speed (Bless does love to run) and telekinesis.
Tumblr media
Right now, the Chaos Emeralds for the universe of Sandstorm are missing- but the world (in the past year or so) has recovered greatly from the damage caused to it by Eggman's multiple attempts to take it over- to the point that hovercars are a thing, not just hoverboards- and floating cities are officially the norm (though Node and Bless choose to live on the ground).
Sandstorm has dealt with neither S. W. O. R. D. nor the Chaos Temple, since neither organization exist in that universe.- Yet.
Enlighted Darkness
Tumblr media
The universe of Enlightened Darkness is modern-tech, but high magic. Chaos Energy, in this world, functions on a far more mystical property than in Sandstorm, where it's effectively a muscle. Here, Chaos Energy is the source of all spells, from the power behind runes to the source of flying bolts of energy, to massive summoning circles and glyphs used to harness the elements. There is no 'catch-all' to the magic used in this world- you can use a summoning circle just as well as you can use glyphs, but each way to use magic comes with its own costs to one's internal Chaos Energy.
The more physical elements there are in a spell, the less Chaos Energy it requires of the caster- so things like potions are borderline inconsequential, though potions in of themselves are hard to craft, so potion breweries aren't exactly common (but they do exist, and drive high prices for their products). Those who can cast spells without uttering a word, moving, barely even thinking- have access to almost instantaneous magic, but the Chaos Energy cost is almost a hundredfold that of what it would be for a potion-maker.
One's internal Chaos Energy is usually the power one draws from to use magic, so most regular citizens are careful about what spells and magic they learn. However, for those with more Chaos Energy than normal (or special talents concerning Chaos Energy), they're usually gifted to the Chaos Temple- an organization that praises the gods Light Gaia and Solaris, while condemning Dark Gaia, Iblis, and Mephiles. After Dark Gaia's release onto Mobius, the Chaos Temple has been gathering supporters- trying to figure out Dark Gaia's true form and kill the beast for its crimes over the millennia.
The Chaos Temple is currently unaware of Mephiles' existence.
Alongside that, in this universe, there is S. W. O. R. D.- an agency that works essentially for its own ends. unlike G. U. N. (which does not exist in this world) S. W. O. R. D. seeks advancement and power at all costs.- Including innocent lives, and the lives of their own soldiers. They'll kill, steal, blackmail, poison, destroy- whatever it takes to be the top organization on Mobius.
Tumblr media
Since Murk and Tenebrosity are the embodiments of deities in this world, their power is virtually limitless. Or at least, it would be- had they not both taken mortal forms to tread among the living. If Murk's body were to be destroyed, he would just retreat into the shadows until he gained enough energy to return- and Tenebrosity, if her physical form were destroyed, would retreat back to her true form in Mobius' core. Murk has already been weakened due to Iblis' destruction, but Tenebrosity- despite being the result of her own forced awakening and return to snoozeville- is still relatively strong, far stronger than a normal mobian- strong enough to still give Super Sonic a run for his money, if the hedgehog were to try to destroy her mobian form.
Burnt Soul
Tumblr media
Burnt Soul is mostly stone-age (with Sonic & Co. and a few scattered mobian cities having modern/slightly-higher-than-usual tech). The world is a semi-barren ruin, and mobian cities/settlements are few and far between. Some still work with only rock and fire, while others have phones, internet, tanks, electricity, the works.- Chaos Energy is not understood here, and it has a mixed set of properties. Chaos Energy can be used to cast very basic spells (if one is careful), but it takes a lot out of the user- and the only method is verbal casting. Super Forms are the only other known mystical use of the Chaos Emeralds/Chaos Energy, though they are insanely hard to achieve if one does not acquire all of the Chaos Emeralds. Only having some of them- or warped versions of them- will result in a 'Dark' Form instead.
Tumblr media
For the most part, Chaos Energy in this world is used as electricity- and nothing more. To use it for spells is deemed dangerous to one's health, and Super Forms are for special occasions only, due to how draining a Super Form is on the user.
Neither S. W. O. R. D. nor the Chaos Temple exist in this universe, nor will they ever rise to power/form. G. U. N. exists on Earth, but was never made on this version of Mobius.
Wielders of Chaos - Previously "Cinnamon Twists"
Tumblr media
This world is still (in part) a development and not totally set in stone. However, I do know that the technology is modern- and you can guess based on the updated name ('Cinnamon Twists' was a placeholder) that this won't be quite like the others. Magic isn't understood here, but it has the same applications and costs as in Enlightened Darkness- that is to say, any and all types of magic can be used, but since no one has ever bothered to explore it... It's a virtually unknown field.
Alongside that, every human/mobian has a natural elemental affinity- which, when specific requirements are met, will unlock and transform into a type of kinesis. This kinesis is always based on the element one has a special affinity for- and there are many elements. However, the Chaos Emeralds represent seven of the core elements of the world- and the Master Emerald, the most powerful of them all.
If you haven't guessed why I was using a pony icon for this verse yet, then time to guess (and yes, I specifically chose icons per universe, as a sort of theme-pairing from my collection of face claims)!
Tumblr media
The Chaos Emeralds in this universe are a legend still, and have yet to be discovered (save the one Cinnamon has), let alone used. Similar (but not quite) like the Elements of Harmony of My Little Pony, there are specific wielders for each Emerald. However, it is not based on elemental matches or who's most compatible with what... It's whoever finds a Chaos Emerald first. Once bonded to a Chaos Emerald, one cannot be bonded to another- but all of them can still be brought together to give one (or multiple) beings a 'Super Form' in order to stop some world-ending catastrophe. There is no 'deal' one needs to make in order to use a Super Form, but it is still a humongous strain on the body and mind.
When the 'Super Form' power of the Emeralds is used, the Chaos Emeralds will scatter after either the user's death or the user sends them away- but the Chaos Emeralds will always, inevitably, find their way back to their owner.
Tumblr media
While every type of element is technically canon in this universe (so there's a fucking ton someone please save me), there are seven represented by the Chaos Emeralds themselves... However, Cinn doesn't yet know the elemental affinity of their Chaos Emerald (let alone that it has one), and doesn't know about wielders and whatnot. This was moreso spoken for the sake of whoever comes across this blog, and for potential plotting purposes in AUs and the like.
White - Cinnamon (Gravity) | Element Unknown | Windmill Isle, Apotos Green - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown Purple - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown Teal - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown Blue - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown Red - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown Yellow - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown
Master Emerald - Wielder/Element/Location Unknown
Tumblr media
Annnnd I think I'll stop now before I write every plot point I have in mind for all of the worlds mentioned... But that's meant to be a semi-decent explanation of the tech and magic in each world, as well as how Chaos Energy/the Chaos Emeralds factor in!

An old idea I had but never did...
Tumblr media
The Sprite Royal Rumble is extremely difficult to do, but it is fun to see it finally complete and the final video. I've been doing it for 20 years and while this year likely won't have a legit one, I figured why not talk about one I originally planned to have but couldn't because of outside forces: the Sega Sprite Royal Rumble. I was planning to do this, but ultimately had to cancel it. I sadly do not remember why. But here are some of the details of what was going to happen if I did it.
Tumblr media
1 - Commentators
The commentators I usually use are Sagat and Koto. Sagat is an experienced fighter so he can talk about specific strategies and what the fighters could likely be thinking. Koto being the more excitable one that can lead to setups for Sagat while making fun commentary on the fight. With the Sega Sprite Royal Rumble, everyone was going to be Sega related and that would also be the Commentators. To replace Sagat would be Professor Asobin. He was the original Sega Mascot as he would give you hints and advice for early Sega SG-1000 Games. And in the Sega Hard Girls series, he was the teacher with knowledge of various Sega Games. So he would be an expert of the fighters entered. As for Koto's replacement, my idea was Mr. Bones from the Saturn game of the same name. While not as excitable as Koto, his cool nature could be pretty fun to write in comparison. Also Hatsune Miku would have been the ring announcer.
Tumblr media
2 - Competitors
This was going to be a 30 person rumble representing so many systems, eras and games from Sega's history. I did not include Atlas due to being a recent purchase. That and I was limited to what sprites I could use. If I do this today, I would definitely try to commission custom sprites to be made. Either way, I looked into 135 Sega Games and Franchises and picked among them. But for the competitors I decided to have, they are as follows...
Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter/Project X Zone Sprites)
Aladdin (Sega Exclusive Game)
Alex Kid (Custom Sprites)
Alis Landale (Phantasy Star/Custom Sprites)
Alisa (Alisia Dragoon)
Princess Kurumi (Sega Nina/Custom Sprites)
Axel Stone (Streets of Rage)
Beat (Jet Set Radio/Custom Sprites)
Billy Hatcher
Casey (Kid Chameleon)
Chakan (Chakan the Forever Man)
Chuck D Head (Decap Attack)
Joe (Feel the Magic: XY/XX - Custom Sprites)
Ecco the Dolphin (He was going to have robotic legs attached)
Gilius Thunderhead (Golden Axe)
Headdy (Dynamite Headdy)
Joe Musashi (Shinobi)
Micheal Jackson (Moonwalker)
Nights
The Ooze (Custom Sprites)
Pulseman
Raptor (Jurassic Park)
Ristar
Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Taisen/Project X Zone Sprites)
Sketch Turner (Comix Zone)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Modgen Sprites)
Feel the Rabbit (Pre-Sonic Design/Got permission from a Fangame to use their sprites)
Sparkster (Rocket Knight/Using SNES Sprites)
Toejam (Toejam and Earl)
Vectorman
Tumblr media
3 - Who was going to win?
According to my notes, after randomly choosing their numbers and who wins, I had it that Akira Yuki would win after entering at Number 9. The runner up would have been Michael Jackson at Number 8. 
Tumblr media
4 - Would you do this in the future and what would change?
I do want to do this in the future. I just need to have a good excuse to do so. A big difference I would say is I would include Atlas into this mix. It would still be 30, but I think 5 per generation would be better for a mix. My idea..
Pre-Genesis (Master System and the Games before that)
Genesis (Games representing the Genesis Era)
The Last Legs (Saturn and Dreamcast reps here)
The Arcade (Sega's arcade games)
Entering 3rd Party (Like the early generations of Sega content)
Modern Era (I would say the games from the last 10 years, including Atlas)
Maybe I'll do this for a future Sega anniversary. Speaking of anniversary, what if I did a Sprite Royal Rumble for my Anniversary?

Megamind
Hello, my dudes, I am not dead! (At least physically)
This post is super freaking random and out of the blue (pun intended), but I'm just posting it to basically give you something to read until I finish this school year. Finals are almost here and I’m pretty sure I am going to pass away. (But I get my associate’s degree after that, so yay!)
Anyway, I gave in to the temptation to rewatch Megamind the other day, and as per usual, I thought WAY too hard about what was happening. So I'm subjecting you guys to my thoughts on a children's movie that came out over a decade ago!
(No shade to this movie, it's one of my all-time favorites, so as much as I'm nitpicking it, just know that I love Megamind. Also, I wrote this all at like midnight on a Sunday night instead of sleeping, so it might not make a ton of sense)
Now for the actual post:
Right off the bat, after Megamind “kills” Metro Man, my first question is how did he fall for that? They’ve known each other for like their entire lives, how does Megamind not know his opponent’s abilities? I mean, he’s supposed to be a super genius, right? And he knows Metro Man has pretty much impenetrable skin as well as super-speed? Also with the whole “copper is my weakness”: why’d he fall for that? 
That would mean pennies drain his powers (I realize pennies aren’t really made of copper now, and they just have a copper coating, but that would still probably drain his power if copper did that). And the whole thing doesn’t really make sense. Why copper? Superman’s weakness is Kryptonite, a fictional rock. I feel like that would be a super lame weakness.
Last thought for this part, was Megamind just seeing what he wanted to? Was he ignoring all the evidence that Metro Man wasn’t dead because he wanted him to be? Did he want to succeed so bad that he just ignored everything else?
Next thing.
Megamind tries to make a hero using Metro Man’s DNA, but the DNA he uses is Metro Man’s dandruff. My first question is: How are Metro Man’s powers tied to his DNA? And why does his dandruff have access to his powers? The only way (that I can think of) for Megamind to be able to extract Metro Man’s powers from his DNA (dandruff) is for him to have access to his stem cells (basic definition of stem cells: “cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated”)… 
Unless his skin is the root of his powers? But that would mean all his powers are tied to his skin? From what I know
List of known powers:
Super durability
Flight
Super strength
Heat vision
X-Ray vision (Metro Man can allegedly see through lead. Which is something not even Superman can do)
Super speed (I think he can go fast enough to break the sound barrier, considering she shatters glass and creates sonic booms. Which is approximately 770 mph or 1,239 km/h at sea level. And then he can move fast enough that it looks like time has stopped for everyone else? That’s…. Like REALLY fast my guy.)
Night vision
(All of those were from the wiki, the next ones are just my personal speculation after watching the movie again)
Wind of some sort? (Metro Man inhaled fire)
Great hair (Megamind mentioned it at the beginning I think?) (And Hal has some pretty good hair too)
Impervious to pain? (there’s the one scene when Hal is giving himself a wedgie and says “look! It doesn’t even hurt!” also all the other instances where what happened should’ve hurt) 
Enhanced vision (Hal was stalking Roxanne)
Enhanced hearing (Hal says “my super ears are burning” which is super creepy, and IDK if it’s actually a power. Later on, Hal is destroying the city and is able to hear Roxanne calling for him, even though sirens are going off and things are burning down, so I think it’s safe to say it’s one of his abilities.)
Hyper-flexibility? (IDK how to explain this one, he just seems to be super flexible while he’s flying/training)
Time manipulation (I’m gonna say this one just because there’s the scene when Metro Man is explaining his reasons for faking his death and during the flashback, it looks like time has just stopped. Like literally, birds aren’t flying, gravity has kind of been cancelled, yet Metro Man isn’t moving, so it can’t really be super speed…)
Going off of the thought that Megamind uses stem cells to create the power-injector-thingy: If he had access to stem cells he could probably literally cure cancer and so many other diseases and issues. With his brains, he could probably regrow limbs. He probably just doesn’t think about it. Bro could literally solve one of the world’s biggest problems, but instead, he causes problems on purpose. 
Maybe he’s like Sato from Ajin: Demi-Human and he’s just bored. But I feel like Sato is scarier than Megamind even though Megamind is probably smarter. Megamind just doesn’t want to be a terrorist… (isn’t he kind of a terrorist tho?) I think Megamind’s motives are more focused on spite. In the beginning, when he’s at shool he says “If I was the bad boy, then was going to be the baddest boy of them all.” (autocorrect just tried to change baddest to saddest)
Anyway, side tangent:
I like how Megamind has proper lab safety gear when he’s making Metro Man’s power-injector-thingy
Hairnet
Goggles
Gloves
No loose clothing (except for his cape? I guess?)
Tumblr media
At this point, I’m just going to make a list of my thoughts, cuz they aren’t big enough to make whole sections of this post:
In the one scene when Megamind is “fighting” Bernard you can see Megamind's hands or Bernard's hands with the other body. Does that mean he can change only a few parts of him, and he doesn’t have to change his entire body? Also, does the illusion match what he would actually feel like? Does he actually shrink when he turns into Space Dad? Or does it just look like it? Wouldn’t Tighten notice the disparity if he didn’t actually shrink? IDK, maybe he’s too stupid and oblivious. I mean, he doesn’t take the hint from Roxanne when she rejects him over and over. She’s like “maybe later” but “when a woman says later, she really means not ever!”
How does Roxanne not find out Bernard is Megamind before the whole reveal-during-the-date thing? She’s a reporter; she’s supposed to have critical thinking skills, right? I mean, Megamind has some LAME excuses. He was “power-walking nearby”? Also, they have the same voice. Megamind doesn't change his voice AT ALL, and Roxanne has been getting kidnapped by him for who knows how long. (We know he can change his voice cuz he does it with Space Dad, so why doesn’t he do it with Bernard?) Also, his eyes don’t change at all between Space Dad, Megamind, and Bernard, you’d think someone would’ve noticed by now, considering how BRIGHT GREEN THEY ARE. Another clue: his ineptitude for basic things like riding a bike, his blue helmet to match his blue head, his arrogance, how things suddenly become better once she starts hanging out with him, but she never really questions why. The whole “maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.” line. “You’re the smartest person I know” then you can’t know that many smart people.
Speaking of kidnapping… why did he start kidnapping her? She doesn’t have a relationship with Metro Man. Did he kidnap her one time and then build a fake relationship for Metro Man and her so he could justify kidnapping her over and over just to get to him? Did he do it because he liked her? I mean, even before they started “dating” it was obvious he had some sort of feeling for her.
About halfway through the movie, when Megamind and Minion are stalking Hal, Hal slides across the hood of the invisible car. But he does it in a way that makes it look like he’s going a lot bigger speed than he actually is. I mean, if you run into a car normally, it just stops you. So why didn’t it stop him, and instead made him slide like that? We see Megamind run into the invisible car in a similar way, but it’s never really explained… Maybe the invisible car has some sort of forget-that-it’s-there function, or some sort of makes-people-slide-across-it thing.
Why doesn’t Hal figure out Space Dad is Megamind earlier either? Megamind straight up says “Metrocity” instead of “Metro City” like everyone else, while he’s in his Space Dad costume. Is it just because Hal had just become a hero? Or is cuz he’s just an idiot? (But he caught it later… so IDK)
How does Minion eat/smell? We saw him with fish food and a churro, but we never saw him eat. We saw him put the keys in his “tank” through the top, but he can’t really do that when Hal is watching. And he smells cologne on Megamind before they have their fight, but he doesn't have a nose… and he’s surrounded by glass and water… so he shouldn't be able to smell.
I like how Roxanne talks to herself too. I know I do that a lot, so it’s nice that she’s still presented as sane™ even though she talks to herself. Usually, people that talk to themselves are mentally ill in some way (according to the media). It makes me think of my mug that says “Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.” 
Is Megamind creative enough to figure out a way to make art of Tighten and spell out the name in his notes? He needs something better to occupy his time. Also, he didn’t know the hero he created was going to be Hal, so how could he make a picture of him without knowing what he looked like?
“I know everything about you”, “I didn’t know what kind you liked, so I just grabbed, you know, all of them” and “oh you don’t like flowers” contradict each other, he should know if she likes flowers or not, or what kinds she likes. Loser.
I like the little detail that Hal “shifts gears” when he tries to fly faster. Cuz it looks like he’s driving a car. Ya know, cuz he drives a car and films things for a living.
Why hasn’t Megamind figured out a way to waterproof his tech? The watched failed with just a little water splashed on it
Roxanne is so nice! I love her! Even after it was revealed that Bernard is Megamind, she was still willing to help him. She’s also so freaking brave. She tries to stop Hal by reasoning with him. She goes back to the burning city, where all the citizens are just leaving, and tries to talk him out of committing mass murder. And during all this, she’s wearing a tanktop, slippers, and what look like leggings. That takes some guts. Also in the beginning when she’s kidnapped by Megamind? She’s completely calm. And yeah, she’s probably done that like a million times, but still.
Bro, imagine how trippy it was for the guards to have Megamind just… come back to prison. Like, they’ve spent so long trying to keep this guy here, and capture him to put him back when he escapes. Imagine how confused they were when he just showed up and was like “arrest me and take me to my cell”
How’d Megamind get 88 life sentences?
PRESENTATION
Why do they travel in a straight line when being almost crushed by the building? Like if you’re smart you’d get out of the wayby driving to the side.
Why make the invisible car that shiny? Kinda defeats the purpose of being invisible.
Bro’s still wearing his Custom-Baby-Seal-Leather-Boots™ 
Do you think he’s be able to diffuse Metro Man? Or was he only able to diffuse Hal because he infused him first?
I just realized Minion has a literal antenna on the back of his head (is it a head or body?)
How does Minion breathe? He’s in water 99% of the time, and the one time we see him out of water, he’s breathing fine? Is he an amphibian rather than a fish? Cuz they can breath water and air, they just have to stay moist to breath air.
Did they just pardon him of his 88 life sentences after he saved the city once?
Megamind should officially rename the city Metrocity just cuz that’d be funny.
THE END
Side note: I just got my first ask and I got so excited, but turns out it was just porn. Oh well. Someone, please ask me something, I need inspiration and I don’t want to do any of my current half-written posts.
Last thing: This post ended up being only a couple hundred words less than a research paper I took 2 months to write, so that’s nice.

I have a important question, just to make sure right reasons: Did you know about this company like this?
Tumblr media
If so, according to wikipedia. Vídeo Brinquedo was a Brazilian animation studio, located in São Paulo, widely notorious for producing animated films widely viewed as mockbusters of comparable films from Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Animation Studios, DreamWorks Animation, 20th Century Fox, and Blue Sky Studios. The company was founded in 1986 to distribute animation with the intention of distribution in its home market of Brazil, then expanded to North America with the falling costs of DVD duplication and packaging, and easier access to language translation services. The studio went bankrupt in 2012, winding down operations thereafter.
For the first nine years, Vídeo Brinquedo distributed Portuguese-dubbed home video releases of shows such as Sonic X and The Little Lulu Show in the Brazilian market.
One of the studio's early distributions was an obscure religious-themed cartoon called Kingdom Under the Sea title sold only a few copies until the release of the 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo. Kingdom Under the Sea and Finding Nemo had several similarities, such as the presence of a clownfish and a story centered on parent-child relationship. From the huge number of sales the company had on the cartoon, Brinquedo wanted to start not only distributing cartoons but also create their own.
Brinquedo's first animations were traditional, 2D-styled, based on fairy tales and classics such as Pinocchio and the Three Little Pigs, but with scripts that modernized the characters. They later expanded to 3D animation, their first title being The Little Cars loosely based on the 2006 Pixar animated film Cars. Originally aimed at children between two and three years old, the film sold over a million copies in its first month in Brazil, as well as selling over 5,000 copies per week in the United States at stores like Walmart.
The original idea of the company was to jump on trends raised by the major studios and start production of animation with two to three years in advance. With the company borrowing ideas established in Hollywood, company director Mauricio Milani stated: "We tried to imagine what it will be in advance".
Originally released with a Brazilian Portuguese soundtrack, many of Vídeo Brinquedo's titles were co-produced with Rexmore Company do Brasil, and distributed in North America by Branscome International, and MorningStar Entertainment with English and Spanish soundtracks.
In the United States, the company exploited its low costs to distribute its discs through video rental outlets, along with rental kiosks such as Redbox. Usually, it timed its releases to a major movie release either in theaters or their home video debut, often acting as a "last resort" choice for harried parents or children who saw Brinquedo's look-alike covers and confused them with Hollywood film releases, or the latter were sold out, leaving a parent to rent it to avoid disappointment from their children.
The films are often only just over 40 minutes in length, the minimum required to qualify as a feature film and awards qualification.
Besides producing its own animated movies, Vídeo Brinquedo has also distributed DVDs of foreign cartoons like Sonic X, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Little Lulu, Batfink, and a number of lesser-known fairy tale films made by Video Treasures. However, one of its most controversial distributions is Mega Powers!, which bears a close resemblance to the series Power Rangers and Super Sentai, but was not produced by Vídeo Brinquedo themselves. The series is a production of Intervalo Produções.
Vídeo Brinquedo's animated films have been heavily criticized for how they copy other mainstream animated films, as well as for their very poor animation, voice acting, and questionable writing alongside scenes which merely exist to fill the running time so the film in question can qualify as 'feature length'. Erik Henriksen, a reporter from The Portland Mercury, criticized Vídeo Brinquedo as being "the laziest/cheapest movie studio of all time," due to similarities between its releases and the films of other animation studios, such as Pixar.
Marco Aurélio Canônico of Folha de S. Paulo, who criticized the Little Cars series as a copy of the Pixar film Cars, and likewise Ratatoing and Ratatouille, discussed whether lawsuits from Pixar would appear. The Brazilian Ministry of Culture posted Marco Aurélio Canônico's article on its website. Virgin Media also stated, "Even by the ocean-floor-scraping standards of Vídeo Brinquedo, it's a shameless knock-off". The company also seems to depict racism in their movies, such as in "What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue", where stereotypes of Chinese and French culture are seen.
Disney's legal department was contacted by a reporter through a spokesperson about a potential lawsuit, but Milani did not comment.
Two of Vídeo Brinquedo's productions were parodied in an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball called "The Treasure", in which Gumball picks up a mockbuster DVD called How to Ratatwang Your Panda. The film is a cross between The Little Panda Fighter and Ratatoing, itself referencing Ratatouille and Kung Fu Panda.
And that's why. A lot of people hate this company because they copied good movies. I have no opinion on it, what's your opinion on this company?
Idk. Maybe, I'm okay with it?

Elsa's 'A Bitch Is Broke' Writing Commissions
Hey, hi, hello! I'm Elsa and my usual freelancing contracts are being flaky assholes, so I'm extending branches in other directions!
I’ve been informed that I’m a fairly good writer, and I’ve done writing commissions in the past, so I figure I may as well see if it helps! You can check my writeblr tag, my (very tiny) ghostwriting portfolio, or my AO3 account for examples of my writing.
PRICING:
$0.03 per word.
So, 500 words would be $15.
You give me a ballpark of the length you want. So, if you’re willing to spend between $20 and $25, the story will be between 666 and 833 words.
I’ll round down to the nearest $0.10. So if the finished product is 526 words, I’ll report it as being $15.70, rather than $15.78.
I take payments through Paypal or Venmo.
GUIDELINES:
500-word minimum
You don’t need to supply a full outline, but you do need to have some idea of what you want to happen in the story. The longer the story, the more detail I’ll need. If you just want, like, 500 words, then 'X and Y cuddling’ will suffice, but if you want 5,000 words, I’ll need more to go off of than that.
I will write about your OCs, as long as you can provide info on them.
I will write fanfic, as long as I know the source material well enough (list provided below).
I will write smut, just double-check any kinks you want first. (I won’t write any involving bodily fluids, poop, vore, or feet, sorry.)
If I’m super uncomfy with the subject matter, I’ll turn down the commission, if only because it would be a really badly written end product.
