When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

#BARBRA GORDON IS CASS’ MAMA AND TO AN EXTEND STEPH’S TOO OKAY #yes Steph still has Crystal but yall can NOT tell me she didnt lowkey look up to Babs as a secondary mom figure #the only one who is in on the jig is Kate bc shes officating the whole thing bc DUH and the way she fucken WHEEZZEEDDD when Steph explained #the way Kate would stand at the podium and anounce with such a smug grin #looking DIRECTLY at Bruce #‘I pronounce you…. MRS STEPHANIE AND MRS CASSANDRA GORDAN!’ #the sheer fucken UPROARRRR #Steph LAUNCHES herself into Cass’ arms and kisses her senselessly as her now wife effortlessly carries her in a bridal carry #babs takes a second to process before instantly losing her NIND bc oh these crazy kids did NOT no no shes not crying #(she is. she so is. her date Dinah is handing her a hankerchief) #the batbros minus dami are hollering and cheering bc YEAHHHH STICK TO THE MANNNN #dami himself is dismissive and muttering about how could anyone throw away the wayne name like this #(on the inside he actually thinks this is pretty funny and must admit Barbra’s last name is a worthy rival to the Wayne name) #Bruce. Bruce is stunned. shell shocked. this girldad just lost his fav kid his princess #Jim is just having a damn good time bro is clapping Bruce on the back and having a good laugh over it all #also does this mean he has two honorary grandkids? no? well suck it bruce theyre my grandkids now #the other gothmanites who were invited like the birds of pret or the gotham city sirens are also all clowning on Brucie Boy #dc #stephcass #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #batfam

"i wish you would write a fic where..." prompt: metal in for repairs. what got it there, what does it think of eggman's treatment of it, and how does it feel about having presumably failed the mission it was on? (angst?? eggman being a good dad??? up to you!!)

Summary: Metal Sonic receives some repairs, and some advice.

1086 words

---

“Up.” Dr. Ivo Robotnik tapped the diagnostic table as he passed it on his way to gather his tools.

Metal Sonic commanded its leg to move. Its actuators grinded in response, offering one short burst of movement before stuttering. Its left leg scraped as it dragged on the ground behind it. Before it could complete the walk cycle, something snapped, and its left hip joint went limp. An attempt to balance on the remaining leg failed. An attempt to spin up its turbine to prevent collision with the floor sent a flood of error messages tumbling to the front of its processor. 

The impact darkened its visual sensors for three seconds. It used this time to dismiss the error messages. Upon regaining sight, it extended its hands across the floor ahead of it, dug its claws into the surface, and pulled. The effort of overcoming the force of friction caused its entire frame to shake. 

It grabbed onto the nearest leg of the diagnostic table. The table was manufactured out of a smooth metal, and its structure contained no additional outcroppings that could be utilized as handholds. Perhaps if it could raise its torso against the leg so it could grab the surface edge-

“Metal, that’s enough.”

Metal Sonic looked up to see its creator standing over it. He set his retrieved toolbox onto the diagnostic table, before he came around and knelt down beside it.

He placed a hand on its forehead. It had enough tactile sensors left in the region to register that much. 

“You really are perfect, aren’t you? Perfectly obedient. Hellishly determined, if I do say so myself.” He gave a small pat. “Today’s outcome wasn’t for a lack of effort, now was it?”

It found its vocalizer damaged but still responsive. It queued a negative ping, only for the noise to come out too garbled to communicate the intended meaning.

“Quiet, my boy. It’s alright.”

Dr. Ivo Robotnik’s tone was. . . unusual. As was the phrase he used. Metal Sonic searched its memory banks and found no matches for either. 

“Stay here. Don’t move, I’ll be back.”

The door closed behind him. When it opened again, joining his footsteps was the plodding of an Egg Pawn. 

“Lift him up to the diagnostic table and lay him on his back, gently.” He hissed to it. 

The Egg Pawn slid its hand beneath Metal Sonic’s frame and carried it from the ground. The Pawn laid it down on its front, before rolling it over.

“I said gently, you fool!” Dr. Ivo Robotnik slapped the Pawn's arm, kicked its shin, and pushed it away. He then shooed it out of the room with a gesture. 

He walked beside the table and began positioning Metal Sonic’s limbs to where he desired. He then opened his toolbox and began repair work. The first thing he attended to was its processor; he disappeared from visual range, and unscrewed its quill plating and its interior head paneling to reveal the delicate parts beneath. Here, Metal Sonic lost any register of tactile sensation. Dr. Ivo Robotnik existed by the suggestion of its audial sensors alone. 

“Hmm. . . only minor damage here, few snapped wires around optical processing. . .”

Its visual sensors brightened with increased resolution. Strange, it hadn’t noticed the handicap prior. Dr. Ivo Robotnik then replaced the plating he’d removed and reconnected its tactile sensors. He then tilted its head sideways and opened the access port at the nape of its neck. 

“Generate your post-action report while I work on the rest of you.” He said as he plugged in the data cable. 

Metal Sonic obeyed, and soon its internal processings scrolled up the nearby computer screen. Dr. Ivo Robotnik chose to repair its left leg first, allowing him to face the screen as well. It began the report with the simplest of data. Its speed had matched and at one point exceeded Sonic’s. Its body had been stronger and more durable. Its agility and processing speed had been superior. 

Yet it had suffered a near-complete chassis loss. 

Yet Sonic had stolen the chaos emerald away. 

It had failed, completely and utterly. It launched into a rapid-fire analysis of every frame of data it collected during the battle, attempting to sort out the reason for this outcome, only to find no pattern. It was illogical that it had failed. Its every attribute was superior. It should not have failed! 

“Oh, quit moping.” Dr. Ivo Robotnik muttered. 

Metal Sonic ceased its analysis.

“Sonic, the irritating little rodent, tends to defy all logic with his little escapades, so move on. Continue with your report.” 

That was impossible. Sonic was as much an object bound by the laws of physics as everything else was. His and its attributes were objective, quantifiable, and therefore logic could be applied-

“Believe me when I say I understand. Check the records- I’ve been in this situation countless times before.” 

Dr. Ivo Robotnik always spoke the objective and rational truth, but supplementing his statement with a quick scan of its memory banks allowed it to better grasp the concept. Indeed, its creator had been defeated by Sonic before, despite having superior technology and intelligence.

“Precisely. That’s why I say ‘there’s always next time’. Persistence and determination is my motto!” Dr. Ivo Robotnik pointed a finger into the air. “You’ll get Sonic one of these days. I have utmost confidence in your ability to do so.”

Every statement made by Dr. Ivo Robotnik was true, yet if his prior statement was also true, how could it defeat Sonic if superior attributes alone were not enough?

“Simple! You’re my technology. And my technology always triumphs. Am I clear?”

Metal Sonic gave an affirmative ping, only for its vocalizer to short out. 

“Process it. Show me you understand.”

Yes, Metal Sonic affirmed. It was superior. It would triumph because of the brilliance of the man who created it.

“Good.” Dr. Ivo Robotnik paused his work to remove the data cable from its access port. The computer screen went dark. “Now, perform a quick debug, then enter standby mode until I wake you.”

Its attention turned onto itself as it began marking files within its processor for review. It flagged one potential issue with its audial sensors. It then initiated its power-down process, shutting off its cameras and spooling down its subroutines. 

Before the process completed, it felt Dr. Ivo Robotnik’s hand on its forehead again. It recorded four words.  

“Rest well, my boy.”

Man I am just SO CONFUSED. About the time line of this game.

No one is telling me how long links been gone! Or how long the botw-totk timeskip was! They all just started selling my stuff again lol. I'm going to have to get everything redyed!

Me: hey random stranger! Lore dump? You look like a lore dumper.

Kindly npc: why hullo there, link ^^! My, I haven't seen you in a while since the calamity ended! I was so worried when they said you and the princess had gone missing! But it's good to see you're well.

Me: aw, thanks. How long has it actually been tho.

Kindly npc: ^u^

#Having a great time btw I've just been chased across a near sea of miasma by stal riders and more! 10/10 nearly died in a high speed chase #Made it out relatively unscathed which is truly amazing lmao #Spoilers ahead: I have had the funniest time doing the great plateau quest chain. Once I sucked it up and made nice with the creepy statue. #He's(?) been alright. Fair trader. Good deals. I've mostly been terrorising kohga in between absolutely failing to craft working vehicles X #His new boss fights are so much easier than the first one lol. Less fun I'll admit but the music is groovy. You can probably make a #Machine and try and dog fight him but with few exceptions the turning circles are decrepit so I just stuck to mild dodging and shooting him #And running over to hit him some more. Kinda bland for a boss fight I'll say. Could have done with a lot more pizazz. It's kohga come on. #Anyway I do feel kinda bad because apparently he's been stuck down there for however many months/years and I AM kinda cheating with the arm #After the first fight he fled to the gerudo mine and the steward very nicely showed me how to get there but never underestimate #My procrastination because I'd already found it by just exploring so I just teleported. In game it must have been terrifying lmao #Racing across an endless void filled only by the light of your rapidly running out of battery glider and the red glow of the gloom away fro #The apparently immortal ancient warrior who beat you up and tossed you down there and there's no sign of perusal so you're probably safe #But you get there and he's already sitting there poking some bananas having wiped out your goons and plundered your supplies. #Like sorry man but the arm comes with the hero territory I can't exactly take it off. #Maybe if you stopped terrorising the people purah would let you have one of her long distance teleportation slates. It comes with photos? #It can't have been long since botw link hasn't grown an inch XD. Also I've been turning the lore timeline over in my head and still no idea #Are we not sure Rauru isn't from some alternate timeline that got fused with the main loz timeline by accident?? #loz #legend of zelda #totk #loz totk #tears of the kingdom #loz tears of the kingdom #totk spoilers

Fanart for Tactical!Strickler, from:

Challenging destiny

Chapter 24: Tackling Area 49-B

@pinkytoothlesso11

Human version:

I loved the thought of it and it actually turned out pretty well. It is pretty green, even tho you told me that there would be more black in your version. I hope it's still okay.

And I have a cape version, don't worry.

The green also didn't came out as dark as it was supposed to be, probably bc of my ipad. My phone has a much petter "lighting" than my ipad. But that dosen't matter, looks still nice.

Also I made it more millitary because I thought it would fit his character, especially in this AU. Strickler is much more protecting over his family and I could imagine that he would also be more protecting of himself. (Because Barbara would kill him if not)

And I gave him two guns because we all know that he would prepare for a literal war with those humans just for his whelp. By the way he has more knifes on his waist area in un the back.

Anyways, closeup:

And the cape version:

May beloved.

And for some reason the tags didn’t work and people could see it so i post it again. Hopefully this time nothing goes wrong and if it does then it's definitely a problem with either tumblr or my account XD

listen. i like tn/tduo but at the same time I'm a little tired of seeing q's character mostly being reduced to "ahah he's pathetic and he's a simp for w and that's it" because lbr. that's how the dynamic is mostly portrayed rn by the fandom and. idk. i don't like it i guess

#and i must admit that most of the tn/t stuff i see is from twt so... yeah that's my b #but at the same time #how different can it be? especially about their qsmp characters? #how different can it be over here* #and listen i know it might sound like i don't like them #but i genuinely love ctnt i think their dynamic was fun #they were foils they needed each other they hated each other they wanted to have gay sex and never talk about it again ever #it's fun it's toxic but at the same time they respected each other #i liked that they were on the road to be good kismesissitudes okay #now it's just. idk the obsession seems very one sided i don't like that #qsmp #mcyt tag #also because i think qq is a very complex character and that seems to be often forgotten/not taken in consideration for some reason #anyways i said i was going to sleep and here i am. goodnight i hope they explode

I think people are taking the panic barganing too literally but the subtext of a potential SA trauma from Denji wouldn't be out-of-pocket considering his abusive relationship with the yakuzas and his father evoking in this repulsion toward men/misandry. The thing is, Denji doesn't like Yoshida at all, he finds him annoying and an asshole, but if it comes to Nayuta, he's "willing to have gay sex" if it secures her safety. Guys, I think it's an example, an hyperbole of that statement: he is capable of doing anything for his loved ones, to the point to do the thing he idolizes and respects the most (sex) with another man. Since he couldn't do much to protect Aki and Power in the past, his dignity, integrity, desires and preferences aren't important to him anymore. That's heartbreaking.

#chainsaw man #chainsaw man spoilers #still i dont want to frame denji has bi or yoshida as a r*pist he's shady af but not like that wtf #i will defend them both #also #dawg there's no way in hell these two will be friends i wanted my slice of life arc #notw aside looks like fjmt is digging onto the sexuality topic and if he wants denji to explore #i hope he doesnt frame mlm relationships or gay man as depraved or abusive since man=bad is smth denji as to unlearn at some point #the sole exception was aki and aki only #he already wrote a good representation (a bit fetichizing must admit) of lesbians and polyamory and ik he's an ally #this would be interesting and very risky at the same time. lets see

You do a man city episode and you sideline Jamie? Oh jail for Jason sudeikis! Jail for Jason sudeikis for 10000 years!

I think there's something wrong with my sense of morality or. something like that?

just watched the scene where Eliot said the others are all redeemed and he isn't and never will be and I just. I know what he means/what the writers meant and all, obviously, I understand that.

but I guess I just don't understand the whole idea of redemption (and forgiveness too) in the first place

like. I don't know? I don't get it. doesn't make sense. you're doing good things now, you clearly have an understanding of what's right and wrong, you help people because you want to help people. that's good. and you're clearly aware that what you did in the past was not good. why does any of the rest matter?

like no dude Nate of all people definitely was not a better person than you? okay yeah you killed people but he was just shit all around. I don't know.

#like. it's not that I think 'oh it's fine that he's killed a bunch of people! he's a good boy it's okay!' but it's. irrelevant at this #point in time? it just doesn't matter #like the past is. the past #and it's not now and it's not happening anymore and you made the choices you made in the past but now you're making different ones and it's #just. fine? it's irrelevant. I don't know how to explain it I think I'm just an idiot lol #I don't know. these things always seem so simple to me so I must be missing like a huge thing that just makes it more complicated #and it makes me feel like maybe I'm a bad person? #it's not like I forgive him for what he's done. because that's also irrelevant. it doesn't matter. it's over it's done it's the past and #that's that #like the fact that he realised it was wrong and admits it to himself and others is what matters? he's changed. he's making different choices #and that's the important part? #but anyway maybe I shouldn't talk about this. people usually seem to think it's weird when I do so I'm gonna shut up #leverage redemption #eliot spencer

im reading c s lewis' space trilogy and i was not expecting the take "it is good and righteous for women to be bisexual" in there

#it's not as good as narnia #and it's JUST as theological #but i must admit. i am enjoying myself #the main character of the first book is tolkien #and c s lewis sends him to space. naked. twice. #also the climax of the first book is 'guy who has enmeshed himself with native culture has to translate for the british colonizers.' #only the colonizers are being laughed at the whole time

shining solo ep 8. my reaction rn 😐😐 took it a bit hard lmao

#tp #very mixed feelings. as someone who associates herself with jeongwoo and having very similar personalities... this ep hurt a lot #idk idk #i mean i get it but i also absolutely do not get it #so many thoughts im taking this very personally what the heck #i cant really warm up to half of this part's girlies im sorry #i loved everyone on part one #as someone who also struggles with managing my social energy lvls... this was a slap in the face #bc my boy jeongwoo truly gave it his ALL the whole day and even managed to perform a couple songs for the girls #despite already having spent the whole day together #and his energy must have been SPENT already and then they pick him as MVP of the day and he has that 1:5 date with all of the girls #by himself!! which is so terrifying imagine being the one person who everyone's attention is on and you have to interact with these ppl #that you arent very comfortable with but you still try your best to give them a good time #AND THEN!! they give you NOTHING in return?? not even a recorder?? no jewel no recording nothing. just ignored like that by everyone #and i get that the girls dont know who's voting for who so they might have believed someone else was gonna give him a jewel or sth #but no one gives him anything (positive OR negative) #and yeah. he was absolutely shocked at the empty safe. i would have been too. #and why did they not give him a jewel y'all might ask??? IT WAS BC HE FELL SILENT DURING THE LAST BIT: THE DINNER #my gosh that's the part that i take offense to personally bc it's really really really difficult to always engage in convos with ppl #after spending the whole day with them already?? and your social battery is down so you quietly enjoy a simple meal?? #and then all the girlies threw him away like that?? #i mean yeah you're surrounded by sweet men who spend the day appealing themselves to you but come on?? #i would have been so impressed by jeongwoo and thankful that he put that much effort in and would understand how difficult it is to #maintain it till the very end because not everyone has hyunsuk's boundless social energy #no offense hyunsuk i love you dearly #and also??? what's up with admitting that you lack some confidence upfront?? #the girl's reasoning for giving yoshi the voice recorder was that he said he holds himself to a high standard and lacks confidence sometimes #and i get it. being confident is more attractive than someone who's always insecure and puts themselves down #(and makes the other person uncomfortable) but they were having an honest and deep convo when the thing he said in that convo was used #against him in the end? i would feel kind of betrayed too bc being able to admit that you feel insecure sometimes is a v brave thing to do!!

it’s truly wild how much sway a finale has in making or breaking a show’s legacy and the way it’s talked about FOREVER. i’ve never seen a single episode of how i met your mother i exclusively know it as the show with the really bad ending that pissed everyone off…same with got…maybe sometimes the unexpected twist ending…is worse

#feeling like succession will be remembered forever as one of the all time great prestige dramas #…and ted lasso will be mostly forgotten about #i remember really truly loving the b99 finale but s8’s offness means i haven’t rewatched it since it aired which is genuinely wild #shut up sian #i get that final seasons and especially finales must be pretty hard to write #i am a community s6 warrior and even i’ll admit it’s rough at times but by no means bad or not worth watching #i guess succ is not the best example when talking about a bunch of sitcoms #parks has a truly great final season though #idk what my point is except that i think tl s3 made the show completely lose any interest in watching or thinking about it again #which is…not good!

Or the reason you’re overthinking it is because you’re just trying to find a reason to be mad at the game when you could use that energy at something else to make you happy instead of nitpicking at it.

I suggest you block my account and go have fun with the game unfettered by my takes, you have my Blanket Permission! I'm just a rando with a tumblr blog. Worry about your own happiness first.

#asks #don't be mean in the asks please :(( #people have been mostly good with that up until now where I started to get a couple #you can voice disagreement without attacking people's character (especially anonymously) #or just block/scroll past/rant to your friends or on your own blog even! #it's legal + free + less rude #and everyone has a better time on the internet which is ultimately the objective I think #also... exercizing critical thought can be very fulfilling? you think videoessayists on youtube survive off rage and bitterness alone? #media analysis can be very stimulating to some people! critique and love are hardly mutually exclusive! #I wouldn't care nearly as much if I didn't love the series or believe in its potential #(I don't even hate totk there's tons I respect about it technically and artistically) #(but...
