Inktober Day 25 - Alpha Gaming

Today I thought I'd go ahead and hunt down that new hedgehog game everyone’s so excited about, since I had a target giftcard and it's been a hot sec since I played one of these - was fully planning to hop on that cool winged shadow trend for the inktober to commemorate my success, but that changed 15 seconds into the first stage when I remembered I actually suck shit at sonic games 👍

I'll never get over the fact that MK trades his friends for power to save his friends. What's wrong with him

[triglycercule]

thanks to amazing mutual's most recent fic,,,, i've had an epiphany ✨✨✨ i'm a fake mttpoly fan i dont think they'd ever love each other ✨✨ OK WELL MAYBE NOT FAKE i just dont think they'd ever fall in love

maybe its tooootally just me being unaware but i see no way how they could ever come to LOVE eachother. in anyway shape or form. is it too early for me to properly string together my thoughts perhaps but EVEN AFTER YEARS OF BEING TOGETHER i dont see how they could find something to truly LOVE in the other 2. like,,,, killer's got his whole. uhhh. emotionally repressed thing. and dust and horror have their own prejudices against the other 2. even if theyre given time to settle their differences and come to terms (somewhat) with their own issues and the other two's personalities/history that bother them i still just dont think theres any potential for....... love?????? am i understandable

the closest thing i could see is maybe care?? attachment??? maybe these are the same words some would use to describe love itself but in the context of the trio i feel like its different. i cant explain myself that well here but i could see them finding rational reasons to appreciate the others and then eventually that turns into genuine care. but not love,,,,, never love for them,,,,,

Sonic au where everything's the same except the werehog was feral during unleashed. Nothing else abt the plot changes bc at his core sonic is still himself BUT he's more Creature. Bigger, fluffier, can't talk, overall more animal-isms. Yeah

If Silver was in Sonic Unleashed

A few people liked my silly Sonic Movie 4 theory, so here's another one of if Silver had shown up in Sonic Unleashed, though this is more of a hypothetical scenario than a theory. Once again under cut because it's too long.

Silver would come from a future where Dark Gaia won, the planet was split apart, eternal darkness reigned, and Dark Gaia monsters roamed, so of course he would travel back to the past to try and stop this future from happening.

He'd land in Spagonia at nighttime just after the planet split apart. When he goes to try getting more information at Spagonia University, he finds it trashed and the lead professor missing (the assistant wasn't around to tell Silver what happened by the time he arrived). Dark Gaia monsters soon show up and start terrorizing the city, so Silver takes it upon himself to protect the people from these monsters.

He asked around and got a lead on the professor's whereabouts, but had no clue how to get to Mazuri without exhausting his powers, so Silver became the impromptu guardian of Spagonia for the time being as Sonic does his own thing.

Later, when Sonic first arrives at Spagonia, a kid tips Sonic off that Silver is in the area, though they described him as a hero with shining fur and cool psychic powers that shows up to protect the people when monsters of the night attack, and seemed to really admire him. Despite this, Silver isn’t anywhere to be seen (likely is sleeping somewhere hidden).

Even later, when Sonic shows back up to Spagonia at night, the same kid tells him that the hero went off on his own after getting told that strong monsters showed up somewhere, and asks him to go look for him to make sure he's alright. This mission leads Sonic to Silver, who has already taken care of the monsters by the time he got to him. Silver mistakes Sonic for another Dark Gaia monster and attacks him, not believing Sonic when he says he's not one of them. He had to defeat him to get him to listen.

Once Silver was more willing to listen, he asks Sonic what the heck happened to him (after remarking he's gotten much fluffier from when he last saw him), and Sonic gets him up to speed on everything that happened (after Chip offers Silver some chocolate) up to this point. When returning to the main hub, that same kid shows up and is glad to see his hero is okay. The kid gets disappointed when Silver tells them he has leave to help out Sonic with the whole Dark Gaia situation, but promises to stop by once everything's settled.

Silver would be lending his assistance by tracking down the exact locations of the rest of the Gaia Temples and help out Sonic whenever he gets in a jam. During breather periods, he takes the time to learn about each countries' culture and sampling their various foods, as well as taking in the sights. Taking in these various cultures further fueled his resolve to save his future from eternal darkness.

When the team get to Shamar, Silver goes off on his own to find the Gaia Temple, but hasn't returned by nightfall. Sonic and Chip go searching for him. They do eventually find him, but he attacks them, under the reason that Dark Gaia getting unleashed was caused by Sonic and it was all his fault. Turns out he somehow got corrupted by Dark Gaia's influence. When Chip goes to purify him, he knocks the camera away, making Chip go find it, and leaving Sonic to deal with Silver.

Silver was tougher to deal with a second time, but Sonic managed to distract then subdue him long enough for Chip to find the camera and purify him. Once the monster that was influencing him is taken out and he recovers from a daze, he reveals he got ambushed and knocked out from behind, likely from Eggman's robots, but doesn't recall anything past that. He does apologize when told of what he did, but Sonic tells him it's all good and to not worry about it.

When finally at Eggmanland, Silver would split up from Sonic and Chip to cover more ground on finding the last Gaia Temple. Silver wouldn't reunite with them until after the defeat of the Egg Dragoon, apologizing for being late to the party.

When Dark Gaia finally reveals itself, Silver isn’t fazed since he fought monsters like this before. Even when Sonic got weakened, he wasn't going to give up, but he admittedly didn't know what to do, and yelled at Chip that they have to figure something out quickly.

At that point, Chip summons the Gaia Temples to them and forms the Gaia Colossus, and Sonic recovers shortly after. The boss fight goes as normal, with Sonic and Silver taking turns taking out Dark Gaia's eyes before working together to take out the third and final one.

When Dark Gaia becomes Perfect Dark Gaia, both Hedgehogs go Super, and the final battle commences. Sonic and Silver work together to take out the forcefield while Gaia Colossus keeps Perfect Dark Gaia distracted, with Silver occasionally using any floating debris within the forcefield to attack Perfect Dark Gaia with to briefly distract it from Sonic and Chip.

When the forcefield eventually goes down, Perfect Dark Gaia grabs the Gaia Colossus and prepares to fire its strong laser attack. Sonic and Silver worked together to free the Gaia Colossus before it was too late. Chip did get free, but Perfect Dark Gaia still got to fire off its laser attack, Chip pulled through and punched the thing, leaving it dazed and open for Sonic and Silver to deal the final blow.

Silver gives Sonic a boost by launching him right at the main eye, then the fight is won.

The ending doesn't change much. Once Sonic and Silver take in the sunrise, Sonic thanks Silver for his help and says he'll see him later, and Silver wishes Sonic good luck and says he'll see him in the near future before the two part ways.

When Silver eventually returns to his timeline, no longer is it shrouded in darkness and despair, it's filled with light and hope, and the planet is in one piece. He looks up to the blue sky and smiles. The future is looking bright.

At least for now.

It's 2024 and I think it's finally happening... my brain has reached its limit... it's time for an LU tattoo..

[batemanofficial]

sewing project wrapped. you stabbed yourself with the needle 234 times. you swore 87 times, as is your right. your top genres were "goddamn it why did i start this" and "fucking hell"

heard it was shitty comic day or something so here's a shitty comic of the saddest flatest pond I ever pancaked into at terminal velocity in tears of the kingdom

Se-

Sega is that alcohol.

Sonic, did you give the tiny god alcohol?

SONIC DID YOUR FIFTEEN YEAR OLD ASS DRINK ALCOHOL???

[tyrannuspitch]

but i do feel the need to register a direct complaint, again, about thanos's utter lack of charisma. his concept has so much potential but his actual execution is giving me literally nothing. like oooh there's an ~insane~ gangster warlord on a floating throne in an asteroid field who cuts deals with terrorists and kidnaps tortures and mutilates children to turn them into living weapons who he then calls his "daughters" all in pursuit of a bizarre fanatical ecofascist masterplan to kill half of all life. and then he turns around and delivers mediocre lines in a tone best described as "mildly annoyed". no tension no stage presence no menace no humour no fucking pizzazz. MAKE AN EFFORT!!!

[lavenoon]

Lave-san i need help i desperately need fics where the DCA does not like you initially/straight up dislikes you and avoids you. Bonus ppints for mechanic y/n

So I'll lead with the disclaimer that I crowdfunded this reply because I am a pitifully slow reader, which translates to me actually reading only very few fanfics. However, I trust my sources (from the Sleepy Cove Server <3), so I'll wholeheartedly recommend these!

First the two I have actually read:

Our Orbit is Elliptical by @sycopomp and @madame-mongoose

The Daycare Attendant is very protective of his role in the Superstar Daycare; he was made for this job, after all, and he finds it insulting that management seems to think he needs help. They insist on saddling him with human assistants, over and over, no matter how many quit. Not that he does it intentionally, of course... but if they can't handle the stress, then perhaps they aren't fit to be working with children. Hmph.

You are the new Daycare Assistant at the Superstar Daycare! Despite some reservations, you're determined to do your best and prove-- mostly to yourself-- that you deserve to be here. You're inspired by Sun and the ease with which he gets along with the children, and you hope to impress him with your go-getter attitude and unflappable confidence! (Even if both of those things are about as flimsy as construction paper...)

aka: Sun is passive-aggressive to his new assistant, whom is so determined to do a good job that they're too oblivious to notice.

Almost Human by @vilz

You get a new job. It's a struggle.

And now the ones that make me wish I could read faster or simply have more time in the day:

Two Choices by @thelonereni

You chose this.

There was regret of course, but turning back wasn't an option anymore. You couldn't lose this new game you found yourself in, and somehow you managed to feel more and more alive the longer you played...

You have worked in sanitation since the pizzaplex opened, but that all changed when you had a bit of a mishap in the kitchen. With the only real option left being an assistant in the daycare, you decided it couldn't be worse that your previous position.

Between the surly daycare attendant, bosses breathing down your neck and the corporate overlords coming for a visit, your starting to think you make really shitty life choices.

What's The Moral Here? by @/siquieres on ao3

Your little brother is invited to a birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, hosted inside the Superstar Daycare. The Daycare Attendant takes a disliking towards you, or at least, that's what you think it is. Despite this and the violent nightmares of a sun god that plague you, you keep letting your brother bring you back. You keep coming back.

A sort of mean-spirited take on the Sun/Reader dynamic. Reader is often injured, intentionally or not.

What's It Called When Light Hits A Prism? by @/TooManyPsuedonyms on ao3

The PizzaPlex has been running--and the Management needs a new operator for one of their salvaged animatronics.

You are just trying to live independently, so of course, you'll take the job.

You have no idea what you're in for. Granted, you never really know what you're in for, but this can't be much different than working with regular human people… right?

And perhaps one where the DCA doesn't outright dislike Y/N, but the premise still causes tension in their dynamic (and you get mechanic Y/N!):

It's Curtains For You! by @muzzlemouths

|| “You will be befriending, then dismantling the animatronic,” he gets right to the point, “and you’ll have about a month to do it.”

You're not here to make friends. You're here to earn what you can, smile and nod with simple Yes Sirs, and keep your head down low. An open position as the Daycare Attendant's newest 'mechanic' doesn't change any of that. You're on a tight schedule with the disassembly and you can't afford to be getting attached.

But what happens when you do?

[microtyalm13]

I-IS THAT WHOSE I THINK IT IS??? (REFERRING TO YOUR LATEST DRAWING.... IM COUGHING UP BLOOD FROM THE THRILL)

yes babeyyyy yYES. you're in for a treat : ]

[ap-kinda-lit]

AU where Kagome is Kikyo's sister in the feudal era and they're both priestesses (though Kagome is not as trained or high in ranking as Kikyo).

Inuyasha and Kikyo still meet and they develop a friendship and maybe a budding relationship (Kikyo does develop feelings for him). But since Inuyasha has been following Kikyo to get a chance at stealing the Shikon Jewel, he then meets Kagome.

Of course they bicker and Inuyasha notes she's nothing like Kikyo, but at the same time they still develop a bond...maybe one much stronger than that between Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kagome's differences from Kikyo actually endear Inuyasha. She's emotional, open, and accepting and understanding. She loves Inuyasha as himself, all parts of him, human and demon and all. Inuyasha feels at peace, even joyful, with Kagome, and he is overwhelmed by the affection and protectiveness he feels so strongly and quickly for her. They trust strongly, they care deeply, and they love each other greatly.

Kikyo notices everything. Maybe it's for the best, she admits. But inside...it's another story. One part of her, the protective sister and priestess part, is reluctant towards her dear sister getting involved with a half-demon. The other part, one that is more personal and selfish, is jealous of her sister (since Kikyo herself is in love with Inuyasha too) and hurt by Inuyasha and Kagome's flourishing romance. It's another reminder of what she cannot have, of the life she's destined for. The final nail in the coffin. Kikyo of course tries to suppress these feelings and carry on, but as she ignores them they fester. Her turmoil has weakened her powers and ultimately make her a target.

During all this, she's been caring for the wounded bandit Onigumo, who desperately desires her. When demons offer to give him a new body, he readily accepts. Naraku is born and bent on getting rid of Kikyo and taking the Shikon Jewel. Even though Kikyo has weakened, she's still too strong for him. But he knows what's hindering her: her fondness for the half demon Inuyasha, her conflicting emotions over Kagome and Inuyasha, and her secret resentment and frustration over her life. It's ample for him to take advantage of, to make corrupting the jewel and taking the powerful miko down. And, of course, there's the love between the half demon and the second place priestess. All in all, Naraku is licking his chops over what he could do with the situation already bestowed upon him...
