@dont-call-me-a-lyre asked:
for the lamb: 💭 + the consequences your behavior has on those who care about you
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ "I don't know what you're meaning to imply but I can tell you this. My actions have saved their lives on multiple counts. If not for my quick thinking, my associates would have died or fallen to Chaos long ago. His Excellency would have mercilessly slaughtered both Miss Lisa and the Black Wind without hesitation if I hadn't acted first. The kids would have been lost as the heart of Omega was.
The Comodeen brought themselves into a fight that they were warned to stay out of multiple times. They should have ran when they were told the first time. This situation is entirely above their station and it would serve them well if they learned the proper way of keeping their heads down so they attracted themselves less unwanted attention. Chaos spares no one. Not even the innocent or the weak.
They need to leave this to the ones equipped to handle it and that would be the Black Wind and myself. None else should be crossing paths with that beast. So if my behavior pushes people away from me, so be it. The road ahead is too hard for those with thin skin and it would be best for all of us if they learned to mind their places. There would be less casualties this way.
They need to understand that this is war and war has no place for those with thin skin and weak stomachs. Blood will be spilt, it matters not if it is my own. I am a cursed man, I will only revive. You cannot kill the undead. The consequences of my behavior? Through my sacrifices they've all survived, so honestly - they'll be better for it."

Big fan of exploring robot characters' takes on gender (and associated things e.g. gendered pronouns 'cause my language doesn't have those) so asked about it:
Omega, while masculine coded, wouldn't care what others refer to him as because gender is not a relevant part of his identity: Being the "Ultimate (E-series) Robot" is what's important. Probably thrives off of being considered dangerous & identifies himself as a threat. (I do love different takes on this such as @generic-sonic-fan 's hc where Omega, in contrast, identifies with masculinity *very* strongly.) Anyways here's related art.
"Metal Sonic wants to be the one true Sonic. The real Sonic is already a 'he', so Metal has to be 'he'."
"Has to be," is an interesting statement. I'd like elaboration on (Metal's) reasoning for this: Is copying Sonic's traits "innate"/"natural" for Metal in a way where it's genuinely how he wishes to id, or is it a case of: All Metal knows is to copy Sonic, so he lacks an original identity? (Or that there is actual individuality under all that code and blue paint job, but Metal doesn't know how to/can't express it, or maybe doesn't want to acknowledge it at all?) Just thinking out loud here.

Assuming that Sonic 3 is Jim Carrey’s last outing as Robotnik, I wonder how the Sonic movies would introduce Omega. His primary motivation for doing anything is being abandoned by Eggman, but he can’t exactly do that without Eggman there to build him.
Hmmm… that’s a good thought, hon! That’s a good thought, indeed. I kinda like the fan headcanon where Tails modifies UNIT to make him like OMEGA, but I know that not many would like the idea.
I can see Dr. Robotnik still crafting E-123 OMEGA for the films. It might not be an actual montage of him making our lovable robot, but it would be interesting to see him say that it was a previous invention. The first movie implied that he built weapons for the USA before he searched for Sonic. OMEGA could be introduced as a rejected Pentagon project that General Walters vetoed, but Dr. Robotnik kept anyways.

Thoughts on Hunter and Phee
(This is not ship-related)
Spoilers for S2
So there was something from this episode that I found kind of interesting and I hope they go into it more, especially since this episode maybe didn't touch on it as much as I wish it had.
I've mentioned Hunter's insecurities before, but I've mentioned them in the context of his worries about losing his brothers and losing his place as a protector among the Batch. But what comes out in this episode that I haven't touched on is his insecurities about losing his place as Omega's rolemodel.
In season 1, some of the most adorable moments were when Omega was copying Hunter. She looked up to him and wanted to be the person that he was. And this threw Hunter off initially but he grew to appreciate it and he grew to love the fact that Omega saw him as a rolemodel.
In S2 ep 5, we see Hunter twirling his knife like in S1, but this time Omega isn't copying him, she's copying Phee. She's engaged in the pirate's story, and Omega has her feet kicked up just like her. And Hunter's watching this.
I think Omega connects to Phee for a couple of reasons. One is that she is one of the only female figures in Omega's life. Another is that she doesn't have the same restrictive protectiveness over Omega. As much as the Batch are letting her become more involved in missions, there's still this bubble they're trying to put around her to keep her safe. Particularly Hunter, who is determined to take her into hiding.
But Phee isn't hiding. She's open and she's loud and she isn't afraid to take risks. And Omega admires that. She wants to be that adventurous person because, let's be real, who doesn't want to be a pirate when they're a kid? Omega is leaning more into this new figure in her life.
And Hunter feels like he's losing her.
Hunter is watching while the kid who used to look up to him and copy him isn't even looking his way. She's entranced by this other person.
So when Phee brings up the idea of going after treasure, Omega jumps at the opportunity. It's fun, it's exciting.
And she can be like Phee.
I think while a lot of Hunter's hesitation about going on the mission is to do with not wanting her to get hurt, it's also about losing that connection with Omega. He's watching her follow this new rolemodel and he doesn't know how to cope with that.
Omega is growing up and Hunter is struggling to work with that. He wants to go into hiding in order to keep her safe. But really, that isn't Omega. She wants to be free, to explore, to live life outside of sterile walls like those on Kamino.
And Hunter can give her that freedom. By letting her go on this mission he can give her that chance. But he also risks losing her. What if she doesn't look up to him anymore? What if she wants to be like Phee?
What if she leaves the Batch?
Sure, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sits in Hunter's mind. Omega is going to keep growing up and she may not want to hang around with the group anymore. Not because she doesn't love them but because she needs freedom and space.
The idea of losing Omega is terrifying to Hunter and he's having to process the fact that she's not the same little girl anymore. She isn't mimicking him, she's mimicking Phee. She's growing up, learning new things about the world, trying to find herself. Hunter can't stop that from happening but he can slowly feel her slipping away.
I think Hunter's primary fear is loss. He doesn't want to lose his brothers and he doesn't want to lose Omega. And that weighs on him a lot. It may be why he was a little tetchy with Phee at first. Because he saw her as a threat.
The dynamic between Omega and Hunter and Phee is an interesting one. I feel like this may be explored further along the line and I hope it does because it's an interesting topic that this episode didn't touch on quite as much I would've liked.
But coming off of that, I do wonder if it could cause a shift in Hunter's way of looking at things. Echo is very pro-rebellion and I wouldn't be completely shocked by Tech turning that way either. But what about Hunter? He wants to stay in hiding to protect Omega. But if he starts realising that, really, Omega thrives off freedom and the chance to live her life no matter the risks, he may sway more towards the idea of choosing to actively fight the Empire.
Because as much as he doesn't want to lose her, he risks exactly that by denying her the life that she craves.
°•°•°•°
Just some thoughts I have about the episode.
This is one of those moments where I find that even if you don't enjoy the episode, there's normally still something to unpack there. And sometimes it's something that you didn't necessarily pick up on the importance of until you start to dig into it.
I think episode 5 is one of those instances where it had something good to build on, but the execution maybe wasn't so great.
But, hey! We learnt a couple of things today!
1. As much as I don't love this episode, there are still bits in there that I enjoyed and want to explore more.
2. I know I said that Hunter was my least favourite Batcher, but I still like him and he still has some cool characteristics I like to dig into.

One thing I’ve been struggling with in my AU is that since I’m primarily pulling from soap operas, I had to have some kind of more extreme B plot going on.
I feel like the story would be kinda boring if the focus was only on Sanji and Zoro 100% of the time. Like I’ve said before, there’s only so much plot you can create from two idiots getting pregnant, and you need some space between the drama to let it breath and simmer.
I knew I’d want to shift to Nami and Usopp for a bit with their “I’m stuck going in circles” kind of predicament, but even that felt more suited for C plot stuff.
I knew the B plot had to center Luffy because he’s still built like an anime protagonist, and it had to involve him being a menace to society somehow. And I think I figured it out.
Since the setting is a small tourist town, I could go the “big developer is trying to move into town and give the residence a bad deal to pave over their homes” route cus it’s a tried and true classic of cheesy soap type stuff. Also I have a lot of personal experience of seeing my home get bulldozed for big expensive development.
Luffy essentially terrorizes this business guy (Sir Crocodile) away from trying to take a hold of the town. And the business guy being very powerful, tries to stomp out Luffy through any means necessary. I also wanna do some stuff with Luffy vs. local law enforcement because again he’s seems a menace to society.
Also yes I am making Crocodile the main villain cus A. It’s a similar situation to Alabasta so Croc seems like a good fit. and B. soap operas love a good secret parent twist, and I love the Dadodile theory :3
There’s nothing quiet like soap operas where the main plot is the slow burn romance, and the B plot is dark money and organized crime.
