#Zombot Tangle

[atangledfate]

A tainted lemur notices her, trying to be sneaky so the wolf doesn't notice her.

The red dot was clearly right between her eyes--- Whisper had no reservations about shooting the Zombot. It wasn't her Tangle after all plus in a way she felt like it was putting her out of her misery. She switched over to the orange Wisp--- that should blast her with enough energy to incinerate her body to dust.

Her rifle began to hum loudly!

A BROKEN PROMISE AND A BROKEN HEART

I always found the scene of tangle sacrificing her self during the metal virus arch sad more for the fact how heart broken whisper was🥺🥺

tangle is so fun because she is a juxtaposition of something collected and contained with something loose and free and in motion

she’s a rough brawler but she has a stance and a style. she’s impulsive and thrillseeking, but she wraps her arms in sports tape to protect them, a precaution. she longs for adventure and action but she will always need to come to rest at home with friends. she’s bouncy and restless, but she’s an intent listener and considerate. she’s got months of off-and-on experience fighting badniks, but is still so new to real Adventure.

and while there’s plenty of traits sonic and tangle share, you can’t reduce her to ��girl sonic’ without neglecting something of her own characterization. she fundamentally wants something different out of life than sonic does, because she doesn’t need to be anchorless; she isn’t a backpacker, sleeping somewhere new every night. she’s more like a goose, or a frigate bird; flying free for ages and ages, knowing she wants to go somewhere, until time comes to call her back to her origin.

Here's a fun one.. 1. Whisper, how did you feel after hearing about tangle becoming infected by the zombot virus and seeing zombot tangle yourself? 2. How clingy were you with tangle after she was cured?

“i felt like i lost everything all over again, losing someone i cared deeply for again... seeing zombot tangle hurt me a lot but i knew sonic and silver would fix everything so i held on to that small amount of hope...”

“as for the second question, i was very clingy. i wouldn't leave her side. uh.. separation anxiety.. m'still afraid to leave her side.”

Boy is she glad she's out here and that other Tangle is in there and that she's out here and that she's the sher-

[atangledfate]

(from crossed-worlds) (Zombot AU rewrite hours lets GOOOOOOO))

It took time, slowly closing and locking all the windows and external doors. The locks were busted on some so she used large boulders inside the museum or heavy display cases to block the entrances. Whatever those things were outside, they made Matilda VERY uneasy... after all they reminded her a little too much of Robians. Only...these things still had voices and looked WAY too mobian for comfort. Creepy.... The armadillo shook her head and then went to move further into the museum. Okay okay, there had to be some thing in here she could use to figure out what was going on. Then she'd leave and never have to come back here again. Looked like this world was pretty far gone... she'd call Blaze and she could relay it to Zonic who could mark it unsafe.....or erase it. Perish the thought.

The Museum sat near the center of town, siting close to city hall and was the towns pride and joy. Many signs along the city walkways denoted it as a point of interest. It had good funding resulting in some decent security measures, including steel shudders that blocked the windows. Yet seemed one of them had malfunctioned and refused to close. The window now busted and damaged from forced entry. The floor was littered with glass and broken furniture as if a battle took place here. Crystals dotted the floor, some rare and beautiful others more mundane yet nothing taken it was all left by the creatures outside.

Matilda's only saving grace was that they seemed not to regard her as a threat. Ignoring her entirely, as if she didn't exist. She could walk among them and they didn't seem to acknowledge her, some would look at her as if she did not exist. Others seemed to gaze at her with a look that seemed almost sorrowful yet none of them seemed hostile, none of them seemed hostile toward her. They just stood around, staring at the ground as if waiting for something that might never come.

Nothing out front gave a hint as to what had happened, the computer consoles trashed. Yet the door at the back was closed, and sealed shut. A heavy duty vault door, though scratched and damaged it didn't appear the creatures could get through it. A simple keypad sat on the right of the door as if waiting for some input, though a keen eye might find a bit of paper behind the main desk with the code scrawled on it in hasty hand writing.

it read:

Tangle, memorize this its been almost 2 months, i don't like leaving the code to the door laying around.

Well that at least would get her in the back, with out tearing the door off its hinges. The door would simply slide open with a hiss and the turning of a bolt, it seemed the museum had a backup power system that was still online. The lights flickered once the door was open and a low moan rumbled through the building--- the last of the reserves exhausted to open the vault door. Inside, was Geo-Laboratory, many sensitive bits of equipment now lay in a heap on the floor. A scuffle had occurred here leaving the lab in disarray.

But Matilda had other problems, the moment the door opened up two bright red eyes met her own. Unlike the others who seemed to ignore her---this one didn't. It's eyes flaring to life at her entry and it turned toward her its great spiked tail slamming into the concreate floor! It let out a wild howl of fury and--- it charged forward at her at full speed! It was fast, nothing like the others and it seemed to not care for friend or foe! as it crossed the room like a bolt of lightning!

THIS ARC WAS SO FUCKED UP FR

[badnikbreaker]

“It’s just...if I lose anyone else, I think I’ll...”  Break like glass.  If I lose anyone else I don’t know if I’ll survive it.  In the worst moments, she’s not sure she survived the last times.

Her hand flexes, as if preparing to summon her hammer, as if she isn’t always.  “I just...can’t.”

Bit of a weird one, but what about a Zombot Tangle defending Whisper from the horde?

"Even if for but a moment, you shine through the abyss."

[themightyhumanbroom]

BOY OH BOY I'M SURE TANGLE, WHISPER, AND LANOLIN WILL BE TOTALLY OKAY WITH THIS ONCE THEY LEARN ABOUT IT!

It's not like Tangle was turned into a zombot, Whisper had her life DESTROYED, or Lanolin had her town attacked plus some kind of unresolved trauma.

It's also not like those three are part of a team dedicated to stopping him.

I'm sleep-deprived and yapping about zombot arc! Shadow

Wouldn't it have been really cool if, like, Shadow turning was ultimately Sonic's fault in some way? Or in a way that he would blame himself for it in the future when Eggman is rubbing in his face how his inaction at taking the Doctor out is what led to this in the first place?

Like, I really like this. How Shadow immediately sees the gravity of the situation and doesn't appreciate Sonic's jokes, how he tells him its HIS fault for what occurred, and how Sonic after can't retort anything he says because he's not incorrect. It's harsh, and I think it's fitting for it to be so. Sonic is whimsy and a jokester, always trying to keep the situation light, but that's not what the situation needs.

I think everyone generally agrees that the way Shadow went out in this arc stinks. It was reckless and ooc, as well as just generally boring for a zombie story. He literally grabs the zombot of his own accord for no reason and gets infected, and then refuses to run. Like... what are we doing LMFAO

Instead, what if we make a situation where Shadow has to save someone? I think sacrificing himself to save Rouge AND Sonic as well as the survivors in the truck is the play. Sonic's demonstrated at this point in the story to be winded from all the running he has to do, so make HIM fuck up here. Make him get hit from behind, momentarily stunned and for once not fast enough to stop the zombots from attacking the truck. Make Shadow see this, pause, and then at the last second he chooses to save Sonic and the survivors inside the truck, ordering Sonic to go. We could have Omega also be ripped apart a bit before this to really push Shadow's decision. He could tell them all to run, Sonic reluctantly has to follow, and Shadow's fate should be left a bit ambiguous here. Make the reader think on whether or not he's infected or not, whether or not he can actually survive the infection. Shadow's comms are dead afterwards, we have no clue. Imagine the suspense and the drama + Sonic having to live with the fact that despite that argument Shadow still saved him.

(With this you can also have it be a hope that maybe Shadow IS immune, that they can find him and solve this, but in the meantime they'll have Sonic do the tests.... just for the drama... They hit a lot of zombie tropes in this arc we can't miss THIS one!!)

Then, maybe around when Zavok and his posse start taking control, you finally have a moment where they use zombot Shadow. I think having this happen around Sonic's conversation with Eggman would be HUGE, because Shadow would be the representation of how much he fucked up.

Shadow was the one who wanted to kill Eggman, Shadow was the one who gave them more time despite that, Shadow is forced to be a weapon once more, and Shadow is the representation of what would occur if Sonic turned. Sonic DOES mention in the comic that Shadow is "faster than the average zombot" even without his shoes, which implies what it needs to, but I think it would've been awesome to have this moment happen later in the story, after many bad things occur (like Charmy, Vanilla, the loss of HQ, Tangle, etc.)

Shadow is very useful as a reflection of Sonic in general, and while I don't NEED him to be a main character in this arc, I feel it would've been more impactful to Sonic's story to have him be one of the final threats/moral dilemmas. Sonic is so close to turning as his running is getting less effective at this point. He'd think about how Eggman tried blaming him for helping to spread the virus unknowingly, and then he'd consider how zombot! Shadow has likely been doing just that. All because HE messed up in Sunset City.

I do love this arc regardless because I'm a sucker for zombie stories. I think my only criticism overall is Shadow, which I know a lot of people can relate on. With a little reconstruction though we can make this REALLY good, or at the very least avoid the issue of Shadow going out like a total jobber.

...At least we got that one panel of zombot!Shadow chasing after the truck and it was really funny so bonus points IDW you win I'm wrong frfrfr--

Tangle, how waa being a Zombot like?

“Oh.. you wouldn’t understand, Anon. It was horrible, I couldn’t do anything and.. I-I hurt my friends especially Whisper during the out break…”
