something that makes me so ill is thinking abt the parallels between gemerl and neo metal sonic. both of them went against eggman in a way that still caused destruction, but then when gemerl is defeated, hes reprogrammed, he gets a family, and a home. when neo is defeated, sure, theyre taken by shadow and omega, but nothing really comes of that. at the end of the day they let them go back.

I just learned the cutest thing: some retired sumo wrestlers have found second careers in eldercare. It's an oddly great fit: sumo trainees have to take care of senior wrestlers physically, including helping them eat and bathe, so taking care of an elderly person is not too different. Plus, they have lived an extremely old-fashioned and traditional lifestyle, so they can relate to seniors more easily than average young people. They're trained to be hardworking and respectful, and they're knowledgeable in etiquette and Japanese tradition, all things that endear them to the elderly.
For context, sumo typically retire around 30, with only the top performers remaining in the sport longer. Since most started training at age 15, they have no life or job experience once they leave the sport. Lower-ranked retirees also don't really get any sort of pension post retirement. So they both desperately need work and have very limited prospects. One retired wrestler, Kamikawa Keisuke, realized that he was a natural fit for eldercare for the above reasons, and has since begun employing fellow retired wrestlers at his eldercare centers.
Here's Kamikawa Keisuke at one of his eldercare centers. They appear to be playing rock paper scissors, which just adds to the cuteness.

Hiii can i ask about monster!konig with reader wifey who absolutely loves baths. She loves baths, scented candles, essential oils, flower petals and can spend hours in the bathroom bathing her little body, and sometimes falls asleep while baths ( tks sm )
Konig refuses to acknowledge his soft spot for his wifey - if anyone asked why he suddenly decided to make his usually bare-bones bathroom three times bigger and place a giant bath instead of a simple shower, he would just say that his tentacles need a bit more moisture. If anyone asks why the base suddenly has a hot tub at the colonel's quarters, he will say it's only for the purpose of egg-laying. Definitely not because his silly human wife loves taking her bath every evening and needs at least three different bath bombs, salts, and scented foams.
He won't even say this to you at first - poor thing, you're forced to tolerate cold showers every evening because your dumb giant monster husband refuses to be soft...up until you decided to play a culling game and asked him for a bath solely for the egg purposes. Your tummy and chest is always swollen, you'd surely feel better after a long and relaxing bath! Konig can sense you lying, but he also knows that you feel unhappy, through your mating connection - and his inner monster would never let his precious dumb human mate be uncomfortable if he can help it.
Konig makes recruits search for bath appliances - whatever they can find after the human civilization collapse, they'd bring to you - even though everyone hates being on guarding duty while you're too busy relaxing in warm bath, they know better than to voice their concerns. Konig killed his soldiers for less, and the weaker hybrid's life is cheap - especially compared to colonel's wife.
He must admit, though, he kinda likes taking bath with you. He is an aquatic monster, so it's natural for him to like water - and he can fully spread his tentacles in a relaxing bath, wrapping you in his warm hold.
