#He burrowed into my brain quite a bit ngl

[perelka-l]

Do you have any HCs about Proton or Petrel? Weirdly, I have brainworms abt them today, akin to hurt/comfort shipping, but idk if I consider their relationship platonic or what. I definitely think of them as close. Proton is an evil little freak who’s gone through the wringer, and Petrel is so laid back + morally grey that he literally doesn’t care what an evil little freak Proton is. (Other people read it as Petrel being THAT dumb and unaware…but that ain’t it, he’s just consciously giving Proton a pass because Whatever)

I’ve been playing around with this HC that Proton lowkey hates Giovanni because he more or less wants to BE him (power-wise - like he’s just got so much rage in there, and subconsciously, he has decided that having MEGA-CONTROL will fix it), but it’s starting to..become apparent + difficult to suppress. Like he’s toeing the line of like bEEFING with Giovanni which is obviously incredibly stupid…but Proton may be incredibly stupid…like that is not going to work out well for him, but he’s such a spiteful dude that he can barely help himself

I like to think that if you squint, all Executives are at the very least platonic towards each other. They've been through some proper shit together and there is definitely some bonding stemming from that. Brothers in arms, so to speak. But you know. More mafia/yakuza-ish. They maybe wouldn't die for each other, but kill? Sure.

With Petrel, 100% of my headcanon about him stems from this fic on pokanon kink meme (which, as a side note, nicely matches Pokemas portrayal as well. I like his consistency). Well, ok, 80%. I have some more thoughts about him that stem from nowhere.

First thing is that I see him as oldest out of the bunch. Maybe not as old as Giovanni (maybe) but old enough to possibly even remember Madame Boss. I like to think him getting as far in the ladder as he did stems from survival instincts and capabilities but also that he just was in TR for quite a while, and his slow climb just happened over time. And yeah, he is very morally grey, he can be nice but it would be dangerous to assume he is nice.

And Proton is... yeah. Youngest of the bunch and I saw him once described as a both a rabid dog to sic at target and most spoiled little cat which both match him, I think. He does feel a bit spoiled, but I think it is tied with the fact that he can be quite violent (I also have a Formative Kink Meme Fic for that, but this one I will not link. It's Proton/Silver and ngl, it was one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever read for sheer amount of triggers. Formative but MAN was it uncomfortable. Feel free to ask me but. Uh. Yeah.) and TR serves him to satisfy that. In some other fic, don't remember which one now, I saw someone theorize that possibly Proton's loyalty sides more with Archer, since Archer know how to use him well, as well as after when Giovanni was gone.

By the way, what do you mean by "gone through wringer"? I know what it means but I am unsure what you mean by that.

Proton, in pokemas at least, claims that he admired Giovanni due to him being "ruthlessly decisive". But at the same time Proton is made a bit more into a joke which... I can see why they would do it, it's easier to make him funny than make him serious in that particular franchise, and I politely ignore that bit while nodding in understanding. Though OK, bootlegs is vile shit. But back to main point - I can see where you come from and I think following that line of thought that what would make Proton envious of Giovanni is his, in a sense, freedom.

Giovanni has plenty of responsibilities that, I would imagine, Proton wouldn't ever wish to shoulder (I like to think his executive task first things first is to be a scarecrow to keep grunts in check...) but at the same time Proton could burn for the way Gio has enough power to handle it all and control and decide freely what to use, even with Proton, and do so effectively. And Proton could probably wish to have that, freedom to do as he wished, to decide what to do. He is young (I wouldn't say he is older than in his early 20s), so he wants all the power without responsibilities coming from it (gah, sudden spiderman!). I could imagine that when Giovanni leaves, Proton is hit with injustice of it. Giovanni can just leave. Can just go, drop everything that Proton thought he desires and vanish into thin air. And Proton is tied to TR because this is his protection and this is where he can do what he wishes to do (as in, violence) and be protected for that from police and such. He wished for that. He can't ever have that.

Everybody being aware of Protons issues could be amusing, and Petrel being the one to keep him in line is a nice thought. Petrel seen it all, knows how TR works better than most, Proton being a bitch is honestly not the worst he's seen but he is aware what the result can be, maybe saw such a few times. And he likes Proton, he's a skilled kid, would be a shame to have him disappeared if Giovanni's amusement over his antics turn into anger (And that would probably fall to Archer and Petrel knows Archer likes Proton as well but Archer's loyalty overrules literally everything else and wouldn't even blink if Giovanni decided enough is enough). (Also, now I ponder on Giovanni personally manhandling Proton when he gets a bit irked a bit and whoa oh erm whoa)

Thank fuck Proton is as reliable as he is, dangle a task in front of his nose and he'd follow, a rabid dog eager to sink his fangs into something. Petrel though knows how to handle the leash so Proton won't bite the hand that feeds him.

More time asks :D I little but not too late, better that than the last few that I've been sending you that I take like 15 days to send XD

Flee: How was life for the trio before meeting? We know little of Leo considering the status of mutants in the world, and a bit of Tristan thanks to his sheltered life in the Domes, but it's still not enough to have an idea of how things were before the big adventure began; not to mention the fact that we know almost nothing of Robin's life before meeting the other 2, unless of course that's spoilers and that's why you don't say anything about it. That or you haven't thought about it, also a valid reason XD

SWUP: What did Vicky study before being kidnapped by aliens and becoming an Unicorn? and how are the lives of the rest of the cast now that there is the permanent presence of aliens duking it out near their work places and living arrangements? I imagine at the very least that the construction companies would send gifts to Vicky if they ever learn that she's the one fighting all the aliens that come to cause trouble, considergin that all the destruction the battles cause will make the companies get jobs very easily XD

Other: Would you mind if in the next ask I send a question about Luckycat!Ben AU? I'm starting to run out of questions for Flee and SWUP and I'd like to keep consistent with my personal schedule of things to ask you, though if you're still a bit burned out about that AU I can find a way to make more questions about other stuff.

Like for example, you mentioned Gecko before, but I only know that that's a game you're working on. What is it about? And how is the progress on that?

AHH SRY FOR THE DELAYED RESPONSE

Been a bit flat

Also take your time with the asks, you don't have to force yeself

First up FLEE

Before the Trio met;

Leo lived in a burrow with his own colony of mutant hyrids, his job was mainly to seek out drinkable water and food sources, having the capabilities of flight are very valuable amongst hybrid societies. He wasn't too popular with his home burrow, seeing as he's kind of a angry shit. But he's very good at what he does. However he left his home for new things. A very selfish act, especially cause he left his few friends behind.

Tristian lived with his family (three siblings all older and his mum and dad) in the dome, attended high school, and was on a his way to a first class university which was practically next door. He wanted to study vetrinarian science because he has a love towards animals. But his dad was pushing him towards a more political role. His parents showed a lot of favouritism towards him, and with his book smarts and outgoing personality he would've made a perfect political candidate.

Robin on the other hand, it's basically spoilers but I'll give you a small hint, she was found by Leo and Tristian amongst the ruins of an isolated barn.

Don't worry I've actually thought about their pasts a lot, still developing them of course to make them seem a little more realisitc and a little more appealing and relateable to an audience (well as relateable as a post apocalypse is....)

I really want to have appealing characters, personality wise- it's hard, it'd probably be a little bit more easier if I did some reading but

ugh

reading.

SWUP

She just graduated highschool, got one of those (i forget the word) ya know you study really hard in school, applu to a prestigious university and it's all paid for by the uni because your smart? brain doesn't compute with words i s2g!!!

She was going to study bio engineering- she's also quite smart. Too bad the whole unicorn thing destroyed her life haha! I love ruining my characters.

James (pending name still) loves the ideas of aliens fighting. Big comic book nerd he is. Sara, is quite worried, but happy there's a cute unicorn lady protecting her shop. (unfortunately I haven't developed many characters ahhh) But James' dad hates it, this unicorn is destroying property, and taking his job away. She's too destructive.

Probably they would send gifts- maybe also bribes. "destroy that house and we can build 20 apartments." But once again Vicky will not reveal her identity, James has warned her that it could have severe financial consequences.

I'm kinda blank on the Luckyboy/nekomata ahhh in fact im blank on all Ben 10- but I'd still love to talk about it- I'm so quiet irl about my interest it's kinda fun to talk.

Ah GECKO, so that's actual an animation- I've developed it so much more- I usually go through phases where I just binge on the development. I made a pilot/trailer thing of it last year

https://youtu.be/5jz1FWiW-uI

Gecko is (omg I actually have a genre for it) Supernatural/action thing about a guy named Mac who has a symbiotic relationship with a talking Gecko- that grants Mac higher strength and speed and all that jazz.

You might've seen a few drawings of Crystal around - ngl she's the only character who's design I'm happy with.

Kai and Mac are back to the drawing board- it's so hard to design them tho AH

I wouldn't call myself a perfectionist but I think I'm close to it.
