My last one about Sonic Prime, and one I don’t think a lot of people talk about.

While a lot of people were excited about a Multiverse Story with Sonic, I think people were disappointed where it wasn’t really as explored as it could be. We got three Variants: New Yoke City (your bad alternate timeline deal), Boscage Maze (Jungle themed) and No Place (Pirates meet Water World). But one thing I began to wonder is do these variants reflect the main version of them?

Let’s start off with Eggman, the only one with more than three variants and also the only one contained in one dimension. Mr. Doctor Eggman, Doctor Babble, Doctor Deep, Doctor Don't and Doctor Done-It. Babble is a baby, indicating some of Eggman’s childish tendencies (like complaining and wanting to build an amusement park). Deep could be Eggman’s surprisingly decent tendencies (he’s a feminist and does work out). Don’t have Eggman’s non-caring nature or anything other than his own doings. And Done-It could be Eggman’s feelings for doing all this for so long that he’s growing tired of it.

That leaves Mr. Doctor Eggman, who is honestly the closest to the Main Eggman. So you could say that the attributes that didn’t leave him remained with this version of Eggman. It also kind of shows that when they work together they could accomplish a lot of things if not for a certain blue Hedgehog. It also shows that it is these flaws that could also be the key reasons Eggman could be defeated by said Hedgehog, especially with that ending.

The next up is Amy Rose who got three representatives: Rusty Rose, Thorn Rose and Black Rose. Thorn is obviously Amy’s love for nature and her desire to want to protect it. Black is Amy’s skills as a fighter and a leader. She’s very skilled with that sword and when Knux’s double dropped the role to her, she fits it like a glove. So what is Rusty’s connection to Amy Rose? I believe it is how she feels about Sonic.

The idea for Rusty Rose is that she needs the Birdie within her to keep her powered up, like how at Amy’s worst she feels she needs Sonic. So she does everything in her power to contain it, or be close to it as possible. When Rusty freed the bird, it showed that she doesn’t need anyone else but herself, a revelation we see similarly in Sonic Frontiers. 

Knuckles are super easy, barely an inconvenience to figure out. Knucks, Gnarly, Dread are Knuckles desires to help people, his naivety not shackled by the others and his obsessive nature of protecting the Master Emerald. Dread also showed that even though he does know it is important, he is willing to give it up to help others. Big is basically just Big three times. Nothing really seems that much of a stretch for him.

Now onto the tricky ones. Tails is represented by Nine, Mangey, Sails. Nine obviously has Tails tragic history, only without anyone to help him nor the other sides to show him a better path. Sails is the loyalty Tails has with his friends, also the little bit of cowardness Tails has. But that leaves Mangey, who really seems way off to anything you can think of Tails. And all three Tails show his mastery of machinery so he can’t be that. Can he?

I think this is a stretch, but I think Mangey is Tails’ adaptability. His natural ability to be part of a group or interact with things. Like despite being feral, he showed to work great with the others. And despite not being in a world of technology, he was able to improve the energy shields of the Chaos Council to the point that he and Sails can rival Nine when it comes to technological knowledge.

That leaves Rouge the Bat. Her representatives are Rebel, Prim, and Batten. Honestly, I think this is the hardest part of my theory since I don’t think I see a lot of aspects of Rouge within them. Starting with Rebel, and straight from the Wiki, Rebel is made from the part of her mainstream counterpart who is a confident leader, and more importantly, the part of her who is not greedy or selfish. While this was an unsourced claim, we do see Rouge is willing to be part of a team as the Leader of Team Dark as well as her willing to help Pro-Bono in Sonic Forces.

Prim according to the Wiki is manipulative, but I don’t recall many scenes with that. Maybe because the rest of her crew were not the brightest, I could see it as manipulating. But I think Prim is Rouge’s caring nature for her friends. She wants to help them. She makes amends when she finds out why Thorn forced them out of the forest. And when lying to Sonic, it was so he can help her friends. So that leaves Batten.

Honestly, I don’t remember much of Batten outside the Pirate theme. Though the Wiki says she is shown to be very energetic, a little frantic, always full of energy and ready to fight when it's necessary. Even when she never engaged in combat prior to Rusty Rose arriving in No Place. This is my biggest stretch, but I think this is her feelings when it comes to jewels. She’s always energetic when it comes to getting them, ready to fight for them, and a little frantic when she can’t get them. We could have seen more if she tried to go after the Gem like Dread did, but that’s a thing.

Besides Rouge fully and Mange, I think this is what each version represents to the characters. Could I be wrong? Do you see something different? Try this for yourself and see if you can make better connections. It is a fun thought experiment.

Off-Air (Alas/tor)

Stuck in bed for days, watched this show twice. Wrote a quickie drabble of my super bae (spoiler, I usually pick the ace character to mess with bc relate) so, here's our resident asshole Radio Demon being a little shit with some snz--anywayhereyougoenjoy!

Alastor was taking a stroll. Just a stroll. Leisurely. Perfectly natural. It just happened to route him to VoxTek. Coincidence, of course. Of course. 

He grins up at the jutting, gaudy building--nothing like the unobtrusive yet classier radio tower he himself owns--and enters.

The demon workers attempt to stop him. Or, he supposes, they would, were they not so taken with such scandal--all gaping mouths and stretched jaws. Tactless. 

He cruises on, not breaking stride, even as his curling smile fuzzes the monitors as he passes.

As expected, Vox cannot restrain himself enough to wait patiently for his arrival. Vox storms onto the second floor, grainy white noise snowing his screen. The attempt to surprise Alastor fails, as the much less cranky of the two reclines on one of the dime-a-dozen roller ball chairs, his lips forming a perfect V in a way only a demon’s lips can. 

“What the electric fuck are you doing here?” Vox spits, his decibels rising feverishly.

Alastor sprouts from the chair and languidly flows around the room as if inspecting it. He hums, the amplitude of his voice slightly distorted. “You could do with better maintenance, my good fellow.”

Vox's left antennae twitches in annoyance. He pulses a reverb of angry signals. “Always. With. The Damn. Insults.”

Alastor ignores him. “I had an idea that might interest you,” the radio demon trills. 

“If you’re here to make a deal, fucking forget it. Get the fuck out of my office,” Vox jabs an electric blue thumb over his shoulder. 

Alastor glides along the edge of a desk, tutting disappointedly, his sleek clawed fingers skating across the cool surface before rubbing them together with a staticky cluck of his tongue.

“Such filth,” he rolls his fingers as if coaxing a spark to life.

“What’s it to you? I didn’t invite you, and it’s my--”

“You know,” Alastor shorts out his sentence mutely, “I was once quite riddled with a fierce dust allergy.” He turns a bemused expression, finally meeting the screen’s gaze. “It was rather…” he taps his daggerlike teeth with a red-tipped pinky, “capricious.”

Vox scoffs, but he visibly stiffens, fists curling, “You wouldn’t. You’re not even…”

Alastor snakes a sharp finger under his nose, head tilting to the side impishly, “One never truly knows when…hhh--!”  his pitch jumps, throat buzzing as it leaps into the speakers on the desks, the walls. A whine sings from the hallway, piercing a dozen ears. 

“HZZT-!” Another deep hitch stretches the limits of the bandwidth before the decibels crank higher. “H’pT٨ـZz٨ـzZT٨ـﮩ!” 

A violent pop and two of the speakers in the room begin emitting smoke. All the screens flare blue, code running in a tizzy. Vox spins his head in a 360, eyes flashing red with rage.

“You mother--!!”

“My deepest apologies,” Alastor clutches his cane to his chest, giving his nose a coy knuckle rub and a staticky sniffle. “Such a shame,” he tsks. 

Before Vox can demand it, Alastor picks up his heels, spinning the cane and strolling toward the door. “Perhaps I should return when you have upgraded to more…ah…durable equipment.” 

He saunters toward the elevator, lazily waving the back of his hand. “Ta~”

Vox’s eye glitches, his teeth all fangs. “I. Fucking. Hate him.”

There is no venom quite like lies.

And no art like deceit.

Park Eunbin on how she approached the role of Woo Youngwoo and how the character's particularities came to be.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO

#extraordinary attorney woo #park eunbin #park eun bin #kdramaladies #kdramadaily #kdramanetwork #kdramaedit #my edits #I thought it was cool how she approached things not in terms of imitation or caricature but in terms of making youngwoo her own person #and that she mentioned the work and the research done by the writer and the director #because she didn't create youngwoo they worked on it all together #and the work of the director and the writer are as essential as peb's to make sure that youngwoo feels realistic and stands out on screen #and that we root for her and relate or feel for her #a character is never just an actor #she approached this very scientifically in a way that's really cool and respectful #someone in the tag mentioned this interview or a similar one weeks ago but I just watched it #and thought since the show is picking up it'd be nice to share peb's approach #in the interview she also talks about youngwoo is a very physical role so I think it was even a better idea to build youngwoo from scratch #rather than try to imitate people #because it means it comes to her more naturally #and that she's better able to mix her imput with what's already in the script #mine: extraordinary attorney woo

photos like these are the reason 9/11 sticks with me so much. when watching footage of the attack, reading about it, etc… it’s very easy to forget that each of the almost 3,000 people who were killed were… people. each with lives just as complex as our own, all coming to the same ending

#i think these are the stories about 9/11 that should be remembered more #i find the hijackers.. al-qaeda.. bin laden and such very fascinating #and of course will continue to research them #but it’s the stories of victims and firefighters and those who were there that i believe should be shared #9/11 #september 11

Speaking of military service.......

Kang Tae Oh completed his earlier today.

IG Post

It may not be the second series of Extraordinary Attorney Woo but he will be back on our screens soon. He will shortly start filming Potato Research Institute with Lee Sun Bin.

She recently starred in Boyhood with my Busan bae Yim Siwan. The series has received positive reviews on IMDb and My Drama List. Still waiting to see how and when I'll be able to see it.

When the technobabble gets thin on the believability scale

Wrote this morning (bonus to being able to get out of bed early :D ). Not sure it makes the cut, though :D

-o-o-o-

Water ran down the glass windows.

The thing was that it wasn’t raining, it was just all condensation caused by horribly hot weather and their sudden lack of air conditioning.

“I don’t know if I can take this anymore.” Alan flopped dramatically on the lounge.

Gordon rolled his eyes. “You could go down to the hangars. It’s much cooler down there.”

“No way. Virgil and Brains would snag me to help them and I barely have enough energy to breeeeathe.”

“A bit dramatic there, little bro. Go for a swim. We have an entire pool and Pacific Ocean.”

“Pool’s in the sun and the ocean is full of things that want to eat me. You’ve proven that multiple times.”

Gordon groaned. “Fine. Sit your lazy ass there. I”m going to go find Virgil to see if he needs any help.”

“He’s cool. Got Brains and Scott as his slaves.” A pause. “Maybe I’ll go keep John company.”

Gordon dismissed him with a hand as he strode from the room.

The villa was not itself today. The air conditioning system had burnt out, plunging the house into relying on the weather. Which was failing them miserably. Due to the effects of climate change sometimes the tropics weren’t as fun as they could be and today was one of those. Gordon’s shirt was soaked with sweat.

He knew where he would find Virgil and his work crew. When they had initially split up - Gordon to take Grandma down to Aotearoa and Virgil to tackle the issue at its root - Virgil had already been grumbling.

The profanity from the massive cooler room was not a good sign.

They had a massive network of temperature control mechanisms on the Island. If one thing was an identifier of a civilisation, it was its ability to control temperature. Tracy Island needed all the controls. Habitability was only a small part of the equation. Heat controls for launching Thunderbirds was a major thing, airflow to the hangars and more hidden areas of the complex was another.

The hangars were definitely warmer than usual - more to do with residual heat from machinery and humidity than the sunny 38C day outside.

Scott emerged from the room with his arms full of machinery parts.

His expression wasn’t a good one, but it lit up at the sight of Gordon.

“Grandma, okay?”

“Set her up in the house. She’s stress baking.”

“Oh.” There was so much to be said after that statement. “I can see why you didn’t stay.”

Gordon shrugged and grinned. “What can I say? I’m a survivor.” He peered into the room. “How’s Virg?”

Scott sighed. “Not happy. Looks like we need to replace an entire unit. Brains is already machining the parts necessary. Next step is to get minimal service running so we can launch.”

Gordon stared at his brother. Launching One or Three without heat dissipation was very much not a good idea. Two, they could get away with. There was a reason she didn’t launch inside the facility like the rest of them. She was the safety factor.

Wasn’t a great sign for their ability to respond to a situation.

But a sudden crash inside the room had both brothers moving, all other thought discarded.

You didn't mention gardening in your hobbies for Keyleth, but I was thinking, since she is an Eco-Friendly Girl, would she have a composting bin of sorts and maybe some herbs or a small vegetable patch?

yes absolutely she does!:D

one of the references pics of their apartment was just a balcony full of plants and I think almost all of those would be vegetables, herbs and fruit, they're her babies and she takes the best care of them. I think she TRIES to grow enough to share with the entirety of vm, and it's her dream to one day have enough space to plant her own cherry tree like the ones back home. and ofc Vax will do everything in his power to make sure that happens.

For the Ask game:

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Thank you for the ask, Edu! I have answered 14 already, you can find the answer to that here!

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?

This is kinda mean for you to ask when you are literally in the process of helping me brainstorm a title for my Big Bang fic 🤭 /j But usually, they just come to me? I'm not big on using quotes or song lyrics, personally. I mostly just find something that vibes with what I have written, though for some reason that is getting harder for me recently 🤔

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Uff, okay, there was one fanfic I was writing when I was still in the Undertale fandom. It was called Floodtale and used a lot of different Sanses and multiverse shenanigans as well as some own characters. I scrapped it because 1. I fell out of the fandom and 2. I just didn't feel comfortable using those fan characters anymore at some point? I just felt like I didn't know them well enough to do them justice. That was also when I started being very strict with myself about not posting stories that weren't finished or I was positive I would finish.

I stopped in the middle of Chapter 6, here's the beginning of Chapter 3, the introduction of the Sans I created:

They stared at the stranger in silence. Well, stranger might be the wrong word, since the skeleton in front of them was definitely a Sans, but none of them had met this particular version before. The bones of the newcomer were grey; his eye sockets empty and black water was flowing out of them. It was running down his face and then disappeared from view under the collar of his black raincoat, which covered half of his face, while the hood covered the back of his head, so his eye sockets and (non-existent) nose were the only visible parts of his skull. One of his hands was buried in the coats’ pockets, the other hanging at his side, the same black water dripping from his fingertips down to the ground. His dark shorts stopped shortly before the rubber boots he was wearing. All in all he was a strange sight to behold, but not the weirdest the four had encountered.

There aren't any Sanders Sides stories I have completely given up on, so this is what you get ^^ Thanks again!

#ask #ask answered #sanders sides fanfiction #undertale fanfiction #the fandom lore there is so expansive #I got overwhelmed at some point #and researching the aus got tedious at some point #also had no confidence in the idea anymore so I put it in the 'never seeing the light of day' bin #I don't regret it to be honest #was fun for a while but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #there are south park aus I still haven't given up on yet #those I feel are still good #I just have no motivation to actively work on them at the moment #but maybe one day I'll return to them

Who would he be obsessed with? Would he be obsessed with anyone?

He’s the Joker Baby. If he is going to have a past, he prefers it to be multiple choice. All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. These are all things associated with the Joker. And without Batman, there is no Joker. But what if the Joker was a Marvel property? Who would he go after if he was a Marvel original?

The Twitter Picks...

Since this was inspired by Twitter, let’s see what some of them picked...

Spider-Man: He’s definitely a popular choice and it could be quite a quippy exchange. But the Joker tends to be the one giving the jokes, not receiving them. And Peter definitely gives as good as he takes.

Daredevil: The most popular choice from what I can tell because he is basically Batman just not rich. But I can’t see the relationship being as good as Batman/Joker.

Captain America: An interesting choice, but Capt would kill if Joker goes too far.

Iron Man: Yeah, no.

So there is one pick that I think would work best...

Why would it be the Punisher...

The Joker wants to prove that all it takes is One Bad Day to turn the sanest man into lunacy. Frank Castle is basically that realized. I can see the writers work with that. For Frank, he wants to punish the guilty in ways the law won’t. But for the Joker, everyone is guilty if push comes to shove. So instead of trying to get Batman to kill, I can see him focusing on making Frank kill those who don’t deserve to die.

Drug Dealers are the lowest of low, but what if they were forced into this line of work? Murderers deserve Death, but what if they were forced to kill by another party? The Joker would hire the desperate to be his minions and Frank would have to struggle to not go guns blazing because they aren’t really guilty but innocent misled to do wrong.

The Joker would push the Punisher to really test his morality as instead of just killing any villain he would have to be selective because one maybe a person who does deserve death and another could just be forced into doing this. And if Jigsaw can still be alive all this time, so could the Joker. And it could lead to some good Punisher stories to see if he doesn’t end up being the one that took an innocent one’s family away.

Joker: Why do you just punish those who HAVE done crime? This world is rotten to the core. After all, we are both here! No sane world would have the two of us co-existing.

Harpy one shot idea

Ok but hear me out... sky diver who falls in love with a harpy?

Like this idiot is out there doing dives during the courting season and this harpy is like who is this weirdo?! I love them...

This is very much being inspired by raptors like bald eagles doing the paired dives.

The most famous and recognizable of these rituals is the "cartwheel courtship flight," in which two bald eagles will fly up high, lock talons and then get into a cartwheel spin as they fall toward the ground, breaking apart at the last minute. "And [in] some cases they actually hit the ground," - article

But also apparently there can be triads?! So catch me getting emotional over this article -

Triad story of paired harpies falling head over heels for thrill seeker human to do a 3 part cartwheel dive will not leave me now....

maybe I'm a bit possessive but I HATE it when mainlanders and god forbid non-australians especially yanks are all 'we should bring back the thylacine because it's OUR fault it's extinct' like who's we? this is something white tasmanians did. if you wanna mourn an extinct species due to human action go find something local to you instead

#I'm not against bringing back the thylacine either. I'm just. ooh it's 'our' mistake is it? #not gonna let tasmania cop the blame for its mistakes? #do you have the same energy for helping save the tasmanian devil from extinction #by helping fund research into facial tumour disease? #do you care about tasmania? outside of the thylacine and the curated tourist image? #because if you just like the thylacine because it's extinct and foreign to you I'm not a big fan of you at all #I am being a bit hyperbolic in how much I hate that... is attitude the right word. idk #but it's like #I get very tetchy when we're just ignored outside of the admittedly usually funny jokes #and it feels like. we're being ignored. like you plucked out one tiny aspect and threw the rest in the bin #and I'm not saying you can't like the thylacine or have an interest in it or want it brought back either #I'm just mad about the 'we' #it's not your fault. stop acting like it
