The thing about MVA Sonic is that he is basically OBSESSED with werewolves! He thinks they’re super cool! So if he met any version of the werehog, he’d be absolutely ecstatic about it.

AU Werehog- @donelywell

fortiche, may i pitch you another pair of tragic sisters who are separated by circumstance, reunited in hatred of one another, yet still are forever tied as two sides of the same coin? (arcane style study)

I recently started reading (and ended up dropping partway through) an m/m retelling of an old legend, and it made me think of this reoccurring thing I've come across a handful of times now in m/m fiction and how they approach women, equality, and world-building.

Let's call it the omegaverse problem, because that's where it seems the most blatant (I've only come across it twice outside of fandom spaces that I can remember). Basically, it's when the writer looks at the unequal and sometimes oppressive roles women serve in society (today and historically), and goes 'this is a good basis for dark romance but there are too many women here' and then just. plops men into the roles traditionally served by women and recreates heteronormative tropes but They're All Men Now, none of those icky women.

Now, completely removing any and all gender based inequality isn't a bad basis for a queer-inclusive fantasy! But thing is, this type of narrative isn't interested in women, so they often read as if women have mysteriously disappeared from society (except for the occassional mom or sister). They don’t bother to include women in traditionally male areas (the book I dropped had plenty of male courtesans, with diplomats and bodyguards and advisors also being male) nor to create new roles for them.

They also generally don’t bother to look critically at the systemic and societal inequalities they're mimicking. The concept 'typically sexist society but they're all men (or all women)' could be used to alienate and deconstruct our ideas of what’s 'normal' and what’s oppressive, a way to compare the intersections of class and gender. Instead, this kind of story is only interested in using inequality as inter-character conflict and set-up for romance. And it sucks.

“[We] have learned much about the nature of grief over recent years. We have come to see that grief is not something you pass through, as there is no other side. For us, grief became a way of life, an approach to living, where we learned to yield to the uncertainty of the world, whilst maintaining a stance of defiance to its indifference. We surrendered to something over which we had no control, but which we refused to take lying down. Grief became both an act of submission and of resistance — a place of acute vulnerability where, over time, we developed a heightened sense of the brittleness of existence. Eventually, this awareness of life’s fragility led us back to the world, transformed. We discovered that grief was much more than just despair. We found grief contained many things — happiness, empathy, commonality, sorrow, fury, joy, forgiveness, combativeness, gratitude, awe, and even a certain peace. For us, grief became an attitude, a belief system, a doctrine — a conscious inhabiting of our vulnerable selves, protected and enriched by the absence of the one we loved and that we lost. In the end, grief is an entirety. It is doing the dishes, watching Netflix, reading a book, Zooming friends, sitting alone or, indeed, shifting furniture around. Grief is all things reimagined through the ever emerging wounds of the world.”

I don't tend to post builds here but I really like how this one is turning out.

As someone who has always been more surface-level into Greek mythology and reading it piecemeal, suddenly getting unreasonably invested in it thanks to a twinkified Odysseus and a kickass concept musical is absolutely wild

Say, if I hypothetically said that "Wish Granted" Star and Asha hypothetically had kids in a hypothetically happy ending/franchise, what hypothetical names would you suggest for them? Hypothetically, of course.

@oh-shtars @thesafireartist @annymation

(Not sure who else has done Starsha kids, but feel free to tell me)

AU where Johnny is a teen in the early 2010s and he has the exact same high school experience only after his break up with Ali he has The One That Got Away by Katy Perry on repeat

[donelywell]

Have you ever thought about what your roadtrip au would look like if you mixed it with your werhog au?

If so have you thought about how roadtrip sonic is small enough for chip to carry?

Thank you for the idea! Mixing au's is so fun >:)

They so dinky-- I love them. I just realized Chip and Tails are roughly the same height HAHA

Also, more excuses to draw the Werehog and Hedgefox! >:D (each doodle separated under the cut)
