#also i need to finish stobotnik

[peytowin]

I just realized i have a whole backlog of art from the past month or two woops somebody remind me to post tmrw lol

[crowlls]

I was compelled to draw something for the third movie since I drew for the first two so I’ve decided to make myself insane 👍

I was trying really hard to avoid drawing Big Hands and that fuckass glove again, but that one scene robotnik unlaces his hands is crazy work.

Anyways this is how I remember sonic 3 the hedgehog

Where I can buy merch of Stobotnik?

I see the keychains, pins, prints, stickers, etc... that you have and I want to buy them

What's? and Where's? for my Stobotnik merch

I'll be honest, I don't know who to layout this post to be informative and organized, but imma try👍 EDIT: This is a looong one.

Just note that I live in Australia. So if I mentions prices and don't specify currency, it'd be defaulted to AUD.

My top/main places I get my Stobotnik merch:

Redbubble: My main site. I mainly order stickers and occasionally buttons badges. But you can also buy prints, clothing, hats and other various products.

Ko-Fi: Usually where artists do pre-orders for merch.

There is also Etsy but the reason I haven't gotten any from there is because of shipping is REALLY expensive. (a $3 sticker from USA could be about $30/40AUD (about $18/25USD) for shipping alone. No tracking sometimes). Not the sellers fault as I understand shipping can be expensive and I just need to miss. I have bought from the site before for other things not Stobotnik related and have had a generally good reviews.

What Stobotnik merch I have?

Button badges

So the badges from @stobotnikempire (aka dantouboshi, but their Tumblr account has been deactivated) are from Redbubble and are the small size ($5.50 each button + shipping). The @mostlyskinart are the only Stobotnik merch I have bought over on Etsy cause I could afford the shipping (unfortunately these buttons are no longer on sale). @ayjaydraws buttons are bought from Ko-fi, along with a Stobitnik zine. And the @artofaliss badges were bought from cons.

And I plan on getting more! (mainly from Redbubble)

Stickers

All my Stobotnik stickers are from Redbubble. I sort of collect sticker and keep them in a sticker collection book meaning I don't have my Stobotnik stickers stuck on things (it's a commitment!). But the 1 I have stuck on is this sticker from YKimarysWonder from Redbubble that's on my laptop (average price is about $1.70 for a small and matte, but this applied as I buy 10+ stickers and get discounted).

(More 'small' Redbubble stickers. From right to left: @KaanaGen, @Wearybot, @clownsincrowns, @thatonechickyoudontknow)

Others (Zine, calendar, keyring, photocards)

All of these come from Ko-Fi by @ayjaydraws (the calander + button & zine) and @panic-flavored (keyring).

I might as well add the photocards and the holders too. The Photocards were custom ordered through Etsy and are printed double sided (different image on the other side). The holders are from various artists and bought at cons.

Kay that's most of the Stobotnik merch I have. This is not including prints or art commissions. If there are any other questions or clarifications, feel free to message. I hope this has helped you @billinshoes and maybe other's.

Now I gonna finish some Stobotnik fics😜

Stobotnik: "As the Song Says" pt 5.

Trigger warnings, this and upcoming chapters will contain blood and graphic depictions of anxiety/panic attacks.

   Robotnik woke with a groan. The clock read it was past noon. Cursing as he got up, he quickly showered and dressed before stalking off to the lab.      "Doctor! I hope you slept well." Stone's voice was his usual happy tone, and yet something made Robotnik's ears twitch. There was a weariness in the undertone.      "It was a waste of time as usual, but I feel sufficiently rested." he said, taking his seat. He began typing away before flicking his eyes to Stone. "And you?" He saw Stone jerk slightly at the question. It wasn't one he had asked before and it threw the agent off but only for a few seconds before he was back to business as usual.      "I slept well."    Liar!    The urge to burst out with this accusation was strong. He saw the dark circles under the other man's eyes, along with the haunted look of someone hiding physical pain. It was a look he knew well, having seen it on his own face many times in the past. He was considering what to say next when Stone stood and started for the door.      "Now that you're up, I'll get breakfast and your latte before I leave."      "Leave?" Robotnik was up and following him to the kitchen. "What for?" Stone looked surprised. "It's a new week, sir. Supply run today."    Ah, right. They were technically in the middle of nowhere so stocking up on supplies took some work. Money hadn't been an issue, Stone had seen to that after that... incident with the blasted hedgehog and his new friends. A quick transfer of funds overseas, some paperwork that got 'lost', and a digital trail that had been wiped clean had left the doctor and his assistant not billionaires, but comfortable enough to stay fed and provide any equipment that they needed for any task. This was also the reason they could keep the small, private jet that was now resting in the underground hanger not fifty feet from where he now stood.    Stone would be leaving. Out there alone. No help if something happened to him. No, no no no this wasn't-      "Sir?"      "Hmm?" Robotnik snapped out of his thoughts.    The stunning brown eyes looked concerned. "I asked if you wanted anything added to the list?"      "Ah, no. You know what I like. And Stone, make it a double stock up, carry us through the month if you can plan that far ahead."    Stone looked surprised but gave a nod. "Yessir."      "And just a simple breakfast today."    Knowing a simple breakfast meant an omelette and lightly buttered toast only, Stone set to preparing the meal. It wasn't much later that the scientist was seated in the dining nook with a plate before him and Stone preparing to leave. Before taking off his apron, the agent put the finishing touches on the doctor's latte and placed it beside him.      "I'll be back shortly, doctor."    Robotnik avoided looking at him, merely giving a low hum and wave of his hand. He could feel it. If he dared look at his agent the panic that had been building would likely burst out, and he didn't need to explain why he was a shaking mess to the other man. Once he was alone, he quickly finished eating and took the latte with him to the lab.    Taking his place in his seat, he changed into his gloves, placing the plain leather ones aside. A tap of a fingertip and a holoscreen popped up, displaying Agent Stone's vital signs. It was with faint irritation that he regretted not sending a mini-nik after Stone to keep him on camera. Brushing this thought aside, he pulled up the previous night's research and prepared to resume his work. Lifting the latte, he sipped at it.    The flavor made him pause as he savored it, his mind daring to drift again.

     "I must say, agent, I didn't expect you to know about cooking. Yet you've surprised me."    Robotnik took another bite, the black truffle risotto's creamy taste a complement to the thinly sliced Filet Mignon that was placed on top. "Just how does a GUN agent gain culinary skills?"    Stone let out a low chuckle. "I wasn't always an agent, sir."    Robotnik decided to pry. "Really, Stone? I will likely regret this but do tell." The other was quiet for a moment, his mood thoughtful. "As I'm sure you already know, I was orphaned at age eight, a house fire saw to that. Raised in a foster home until ten when my parents affairs were finally worked out and I was shipped overseas to study at a boarding school. I left once I graduated college, and I traveled more on my own after that before settling in France for a while. I took positions under two of the finest chefs in Paris. That's where I learned many of the recipes that I make."    Robotnik filed this away. So his agent was an orphan as well. He couldn't help but wonder if GUN had placed them together for that reason alone.    One stray to another.    As he contemplated this, he sipped at the coffee that had been made and grimaced.      "Something wrong, sir?" Stone was on instant alert. A wave of the hand. "Nothing, agent, just these fools gave us a kitchen yet fail to provide equipment for a decent latte. I've traveled extensively around this pathetic marble. My favorite stop was a small place in Austria. Simple minded people to be sure, but a far cry from the version we call 'rednecks' here. There was a cafe I would frequent. They made a stunning latte using steamed goat's milk from the nearby farm." he couldn't help it, his voice was growing wistful. "I'd love to have those lattes again."    It was a week later, he entered the break room that was attached to the lab only to find a new espresso machine along with a few other pieces taking up the counter. He ignored it and grabbing his usual sour mango energy drink, went to his desk. The drink sat forgotten as he dove into designing his next prototype, and when he went to reach for it at four he realized it was gone.      "Agent," he grumbled, "did you take something from my desk?" How long had he been working? He hadn't even seen Stone pick up the glaringly bright orange can or head to the break room.      "I have something for you instead of those chemical loaded disasters." Stone said cheerily as he left the break room. He placed a steaming mug on the doctor's table.      "I hope it's to your liking, sir. I tracked down the cafe you spoke so highly of and obtained the recipe."    A hesitant sip, and he had to hide the tremor in his hands.    It was perfect.

   Robotnik drifted back to the present as a beep caught his attention.    Final result for potential survival rate: 0% He couldn't hide the tremor this time, the latte spilling and the mug nearly falling from his hands as he hurried to put it aside and resume typing.    No, no he was not going to let this damned thing win! He pulled up a random playlist, blindly selecting a song to focus on as he changed the search parameters again.    The song blasted out, a remix that enhanced the beat. He tapped his foot along to it and was getting into his research until he caught the name of the song from the corner of his eye. He knew that term well, it had been tossed in his face by 'experts in mental health' when he was a child over and over again. He bent over, chest tight and breathing tense as the room spun.    All around him the song Monophobia continued.

To be continued...

Agent Stone makes a big purchase without consulting the Doctor.

as usual, please leave a review telling me how much of a little freak stone is, and uhhh happy new year???

fic transposed under the cut for those without ao3 accounts

Work Text:

Stone has never felt as comfortable in his own skin as he does here, hidden away in Robotnik's nondescript satellite laboratory. They're as far away from prying eyes as a two-hour commute to the capitol will allow, and besides him, there's only the doctor, a few nameless technicians, and the occasional clandestine meetings with government officials. Unhindered by expectations from lesser people, Stone has finally found his voice. No more hiding his excitement for messy jobs behind a grim facade of patriotic duty. No more doublespeak, no more pretending. It's a wonder what a little privacy and good company will do for a man.

Speaking of good company — Stone doesn't know where he'd be if it weren't for the doctor. He'd worried before they met that it would end as it always does: with the object of his fascination finding him off-putting and ultimately sending him back into the pool of nameless government lackeys, adding another witness for his inevitable ICC trial. He'd feared that the doctor's reputation was all smoke and mirrors; that he too would have a line Stone would eventually cross. But instead of drawing lines, Robotnik is only ever interested in pushing them: sometimes to see how far Stone might go and other times, just to prove a point.

For the first time, a person hasn't let Stone down. He's as cold, callous and intelligent as the reports implied, with all the psychopathic traits that make for a perfect leader. His engineering skills are beyond compare, and every task put before him is conquered with ruthless efficiency. What's more, he isn't ashamed by any of it. He revels in being better than everyone else.

He's everything Stone has ever wanted and more. Not only is he a proud super genius with a fiery passion and no moral compass to speak of, but he's also tall, handsome, and brutal . In the months since they came to mutual understanding about Stone's... quirks, Stone has been shoved into walls, pressed against computer screens, and had his face groped to the point where it sometimes leaves a mark. He never knows when to expect it, never certain when the doctor will turn from hot to cold on him, or even if he deserves the treatment.

His knees go weak whenever he thinks about it.

There's only been one problem, and it's got a simple enough fix. Stone doesn't bother the doctor with his minor complaint; he simply handles it himself, the same way he handles all of the paperwork and cleanup. A week of calling around the area is all it takes before he manages to find a single La Marzocco espresso machine with minimal use and a flattering, glossy black finish. Six grand seems a little much, but he doesn't haggle over it. He wants it and he wants it now, because if he has to go another week with the old Folgers drip roast, he's going to literally murder the next government liaison he's forced to interact with.

The machine's aesthetics fit in perfectly with the rest of the sleek galley, so much so that the doctor doesn't notice it for almost a week. He rarely enters the galley, of course, but the few times he's stopped by, he hasn't commented on it.

What he does comment on is the improved quality of coffee. Between time crunches and general culinary disinterest, Robotnik only ever takes his coffee black; he'd complained every day with the old brew, but not now. Now, every cup is met with a surprised noise of pleasure, burrowing into Stone's internal organs like wood ticks. He can only imagine what other noises the doctor will make once he begins experimenting with creams and sweeteners.

Imagining it is fine, but Stone needs to know . He wants to understand the nuances of the doctor's palette; he's already memorized the finer details of the man's dental records, so why not map his taste-buds? And if he becomes so attuned to what the doctor wants that he becomes irreplaceable, then so be it. If the doctor can't imagine living without him, all the better.

The Marzocco is a truly marvelous piece of machinery, absorbing more of Stone's attention than it probably should. After all, there are attachments to order, measurements to experiment with, and manuals to read. He cleans it obsessively, as if Robotnik would even notice if a crumb remained from one pull to the next. It isn't as though he has particularly discerning taste. That's going to take time to nurture.

As usual, Stone's obsessive tendencies are his downfall. Distracted as he is by the machine's clean lines and the temperature of the water, he fails to notice when Robotnik enters the galley. The man has a nasty habit of sneaking around the place, but up until now, Stone's managed to catch the scent of his soap or the sound of his boots on the tile. The smell of coffee and hiss of steam have rendered him blind.

When the doctor speaks, it's from directly behind him. "So, this is where I find you."

Stone startles visibly at Robotnik's sudden presence, turning in time to see a pleased grimace flit across the doctor's face. At least he knows he's giving Robotnik what he wants, even when he's about to get scolded.

"Doctor! Sorry, I was —"

"I know what you were doing, you layabout! You've spent twelve hours this week in the galley, fiddling with your little..." He tries to pick a suitably offensive comparison before visibly deciding he doesn't care enough to try. Dreading any sign of boredom towards him, Stone quickly fills the blank.

"It's an espresso machine, sir."

"I know what it is," Robotnik snaps, scowling. "What I don't know is why I'm tolerating your obsessive behavior."

Okay, fine, so maybe Stone's been spending more time fiddling with the damn thing than he needs to. He has room in his life for two obsessions! He's a multi-faceted individual!

"I haven't let it interfere with my job," he sulks.

"Oh, really. And I suppose you would know better than me , wouldn't you?"

"No, that's not what I —"

It's so easy to offend the doctor that Stone still hasn't quite mastered walking the line. That becomes painfully obvious when Robotnik's hand lashes out and grips the back of Stone's neck, fingers digging into his muscles. He tries to wince away and fails to do more than jam his hip into the counter, and the doctor responds by stomping on his foot, pinning him in the uncomfortable position.

The pain is everything. Stone focuses on it over the doctor's hot breath on his neck, desperate not to give his thoughts away. They're in that position for less than six seconds before the Marzocco lets off a hiss of steam from the basket. Stone's trembling knees threaten to give out, but he can't afford to fall. He's too close to the machine, it's too hot, and if the doctor pinches that nerve between his fingers again, he's going to face-plant into the hot metal plate. That pain will be intolerable, and if it leaves a mark...

He can't say anything. He can't admit the fear aloud and let Robotnik think this is his limit. Because it isn't. It isn't, and if he has to burn his face to prove it, then —

A hiss of air escapes from between his teeth, giving him away. Robotnik's grip tenses abruptly, yanking Stone back from the steam-heated metal. Relief and shame pool together in Stone's gut.

Pathetic, he thinks, unsure which of them he's more upset at.

"If I want you to hurt, Stone," the doctor hisses in his face, "I'll do it myself. There's no need for rudimentary torture tactics between us, is there?"

They are so close. Stone imagines he can feel Robotnik's heart racing in the fingers pressed against his neck, although he's probably mistaking it with his own thundering pulse.

"No, sir." He swallows. "Nothing rudimentary between us."

For a split second, Stone catches something that may be confusion in the doctor's furrowed brow, but it's gone before he can confirm it as anything more than a trick of the light.

"Not even coffee, apparently."

It's a surprisingly passive reply, followed by Robotnik removing his hand from Stone's neck. Before the disappointment even registers, Robotnik follows up with a slap to the shoulder that's hard enough for him to smack his head against the overhead cabinet door. Stone doesn't so much see stars as he feels them swirling around his belly.

"I can't survive on the old stuff, sir. It's so..." He makes a face. "Cheap."

"Cost effective," Robotnik corrects sarcastically.

"I think we can afford to splurge. Besides, I paid for it myself." He offers a placating smile that doesn't waver in the face of Robotnik's scowl. "It's 100% government-free coffee."

"It seems like a pointless use of your personal funds," Robotnik mutters, pursing his lips.

There's no point in arguing for his own comfort, considering that Robotnik neither cares about comfort nor has any interests outside of listening to 70's psych-rock at an ear-blistering decibel. But there's another, iron-clad way to appeal to the good doctor's sensibilities. People like to say that the best way to a man's heart is through the stomach, but Stone knows that the only thing you need to feed is his ego.

"You deserve the best in every aspect of life," he says, meeting Robotnik's eyes for a calculated 3.8 seconds before dropping his gaze to the foot over-top his. "And my job is to make sure you get what you deserve."

The ball of Robotnik's boot grinds down against his toes. Stone makes only a cursory effort to hide how it affects him, waiting to see if this is finally a push too far.

"Well." The doctor huffs, and Stone looks up to meet his petulant pout with a deferential smile. "I suppose I can't argue with the results..."

Stone can't resist rewarding the doctor for his lack of boundaries. "And that's just the start, sir. I promise, I have a lot more than just americanos up my sleeve. I've been practicing my biscotti recipe, too..." He can't help how his smile widens smugly. "If you can forgive me a few of those hours, maybe I can sweeten the pot?"

Robotnik squints at him hard through his glasses for a moment, then raises his chin dismissively.

"I suppose you haven't fallen behind yet..." He presses an accusatory finger in Stone's face; lucky for him, Stone knows better than to bite the hand that feeds. "But if I notice you slacking again, Agent Stone, we will be having a more primitive conversation about it."

Oh, boy. That threat certainly doesn't do much to dissuade, does it?

"I understand completely, sir."

"Well? What are you waiting for? You have paperwork to file, a backlog of requisition forms to fill out, and don't think I'll let it slide if you miss the three PM coffee break you've manipulated me into taking! Get to work!"

The doctor slaps Stone's shoulder once again. His thumb and forefinger dig their nails into his nerves, and Stone lets himself crumple to his knees. Why not? It lets the doctor feel physically dominant over him, and it keeps Stone from pushing things past the bounds of civility. Like the espresso machine, it's what's best for both of them.

Robotnik grins wide, fakes a kick at Stone and laughs when he cringes in surprise.

"That's two for flinching, Stone." He tuts, checking his watch. "I'll have to get you later. Reports, requisitions, Robusta!" He turns on his heel and offers only the flick of his hand in the air as a wave goodbye.

Stone, twitterpated to the point of nausea, decides he'll run four minutes late with the coffee. Just to see what might happen.

A long-needed introduction to my blog

Okay, here I go:

Hey, my name is Misty! I'm a fangirly lady in multiple fandoms at the moment! I mostly reblog whatever I wish, but I also write fanfics & sometimes sketch! I deactivated my Twitter account on January and it's now officially gone in Feburary. I hope to find new (or even old) moots through this site & just have fun on here!

What's my identity, exactly?

I am:

A cis woman (she/her)

24 years old

Queer (attracted to men & enbies, but not looking for a relationship atm)

Sonic the Hedgehog

Invincible

Arcane

Jujutsu Kaisen (no manga spoilers, please!)

Again, mostly reblogs (mostly SFW, but it's not a guarantee since I'm not allergic to NSFW either). Whether it's fanart, OC art, analytical posts, fandom discourse, etc. Just whatever I want to reblog. If I feel I'm brave enough to post my sketches here, I will! And I'll make posts of my own every now and then (maybe that'll change in the future)! I'll also keep y'all updated on fanfics when life allows me to finish chapters!

I really like to think and talk about story, writing, characters, and even ships (if I deem them necessary). I hold plenty of opinions on them. I hope to post more of my own analysis & things in the future!

I also have a little side hustle...

Which is reselling books! It's a simple thing, but I really like it and would appreciate it if y'all supported it! I sell mostly fiction books, whether it's YA, NA, Adult, or Children's! There are plenty of different genres as well! Sometimes, I have non-fiction, comics, graphic novels, and manga! I'm on PangoBooks, Mercari, & WhatNot's Marketplace!

⚠️THE DNI PART⚠️

Yeah, so don't interact with me if:

You're a bigot in any way, shape, or form

You're conservative in any way, shape, or form

You're proship

You're a minor (despite how mostly SFW my blog is)

You love harassing people over fiction

You support AI

You're a literal porn account (other types of NSFW is fine, like if you're reblogging suggestive stuff or draw them with the proper content label)

Aaaaand that should be everything!

To everyone already following me, I hope you've enjoyed learning more about me and what to expect! To anyone new or not a moot, comment your shared interests with me & I'll follow back!

Fanfic Progress Update 153

Hi people, it's time to do an update on this week's writing progress. Stay tuned for a sneak-peek for Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge at the bottom of this post!

Current WIPs:

Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary: Doctor Robotnik is simultaneously touch averse and touch starved, which results in a plan to "get the touching needs over with" in the most efficient way he could think of: cuddles overnight, when he wouldn't be doing anything useful anyway. Agent Stone was not privy to the plan until they arrived at their hotel room for their business trip.

Progress: Chapter 2 is the current latest chapter and was posted on 23rd of November. Chapter 3 is finished and will be posted on 30th of November aka next Thursday. Chapters 4 and 5 are also finished :D

Originally this was supposed to be a threeshot, but chapter 3 got so long that I cut it into two chapters, and chapter 4 reached the desired word count perfectly naturally, so it was clearly a necessity. Chapter 5 just kind of wrote itself, it's a shorter epilogue chapter that the fic didn't really need, but now that it's there it perfects it, so turns out the fic did need it, I just didn't know it. Anyway, it's all written now and only needs to be posted.

—–

I'm Signing in the Drain

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary (temporary): Not many people know this, but Doctor Robotnik is actually deaf and uses hearing aids to make up for it. Agent Stone does not know this, he just kind of assumes he's told to learn sign language upon being assigned for some other, mysterious reasons, and not as a "just in case" measure.

Progress: This fic will have at least three chapters, maybe four, maybe more (if I decide I actually want to do more with this concept than my initial idea, because the potential is there). The second chapter is almost done. The first chapter is now about 1/3 done.

I'm actually not sure if this fic will end up being Stobotnik aside from Stone being Big Gay as usual, cause Robotnik is being very aroace right now and I don't know if he'll give Stone a chance or not, as that is not really the point of the fic. We'll see how this shapes up.

SBLF (workname)

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary (temporary):

Wanted: a yesman who is capable of operating an espresso machine, has at least a higher IQ than your average amoeba, and is willing to put work before having a personal life, or indeed a life, period. The extra in your pathetic paycheck is good, but the strain in your psyche will make up for the positives. Forfeit your basic human rights and apply today if this sounds like you. 

Maybe it said something about Agent Stone - and probably not good things - that the poster in the cafeteria's pin board piqued his interest more than any of his official assignments had for a good long while. 

Dr. Robotnik, huh?

Progress: This one will be a longfic, probably around 20 chapters. It's a bit hard to estimate at this point, so the number is subject to change. Or I might cut this into two fics in a series, because quite honestly, it's two stories in one package (that is, half of it is pre-canon and half post-canon, so you know, could easily have two fics.) My writing hours will be devoted to this fic.

I have the first three chapters completely written now. Chapter 4 is half done. I also have two halfway written chapters that don't yet know their exact placement within the fic (they're scenes that will be slotted in to wherever they feel natural, once we get Stone settled in.)

—–  

Other WIPs I’m not currently working on but intend to get back to Someday™:

PoE Drabbles (Pillars of Eternity)

DC Drabbles (Justice League)

Diaphanous Relations (Forgotten Realms, R.A. Salvatore’s books)

Rolling with it (Zelda: BotW)

Hah, our afterlife is the most hilarious bushwa, dearest! (Hazbin Hotel)

—–

That’s it for the WIPs! Here’s the promised sneak-peek into Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge (Note: the text may end up slightly different in the fic itself due to more editing happening before publishing). Enjoy!

It was a perfectly average day at Doctor Robotnik’s laboratory. No business trips, no missions, no field tests, nothing but staying at the lab. Stone’s workday would be from ten to six, he’d do his usual everyday work, no meetings scheduled, no presentations, no visitors, no deadline crunches.

Simply a regular Thursday.

Except it was going to be anything but.

When Stone came in for the day, the lab smelled off in a way that was hard to define. Curiously, he walked up to the big crossroad that divided the lab building into two distinct halves and sniffed the air, pinpointing that the smell was coming from the left corridor, which meant the origin was likely the testing lab. Upon entering it, he could immediately see the cause of the smell: the large steel glass cabinet where the doctor tested various weapon proofnesses of his prototypes was covered in soot, metal bits, and chemical splatter. In short, the machine he had worked on yesterday when Stone clocked out had exploded upon testing.

Stone cringed in sympathy. That was days of careful work gone up in smoke just like that. At least he hadn’t been here to get yelled at for it.

That’s it this time. See you next Saturday!

Thank you @eoinmcgonigal for the tag!!

Welp let's see how this goes. I've been doing the writing thing for a little over two years, I think? Time has flown and I have done... little.

How many works do you have on AO3? 21.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 57,611. None of which have reached over the 12,000 mark.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Something, Old, New, Broken and Blue at number 1, followed by Something Precious, a Bold Beginning, My Soul Says Ouch and Match Made in Vain. The top 3 are for Stranger Things, and the 4th and 5th are for Mafia: Definitive Edition. I reckon the top ones are at the top mainly because they're a bigger fandom.

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do, I'm always so happy when I get them, but I worry I sound like a broken record. there's only so many ways to thank someone for reading and commenting, even though I'm overjoyed every time it happens.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Possibly Ready for Table for Doctor Who's The Two Doctors, since that doesn't end in a good spot for the main character, but the canon story has a good ending, so you know it's going to be ok. Probably Bon Appetit, for Mafia: DE, since it's a dark yandere cannabilism fic.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending? That's a tough one, most of mine have happy endings. Possibly My Soul Says Ouch, since the characters spend so long pining over each other before getting together? Also my only polyam fic, (or at least where it's not just implied) so 50% extra love?

7. Do you write crossovers? I haven't, none have really occurred to me. I don't usually read them either, but if it's done well, I'll read it.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not hate per se, but I did have one commenter who didn't like some things, and told me I could change things, and didn't need to stick to the canon. I quite liked my choices, though, and so did other kinder commenters. I do the fic for me, first and foremost.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not in anything I've posted, but I'm currently writing a Galavant fic that has some, for angst reasons. I did have a tad in A Bold Beginning, but I danced around the subject so much that I don't think it counts. I'm ace, which I don't think helps much, I'm basing most of it off of what I've read.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope. Wouldn't mind if someone did though.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope.

13. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Mega tough one. Good Omens got me into it, but I haven't read much of them. Stobotnik, since I only watched the films for them? Two/Jamie? I read a lot of Johnlock, but that was ages ago. Geraskier? I think I just binge a ship and return to it if I really liked it. Depends if the ship's small or big, I guess.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? I had a mermaid!Tommy au I tried to get going for a long while, but kept getting stuck on logistics. An omegaverse mafia fic, an angsty guilt fic, and even a fic for Forever (TV show from 2014). Plus a bunch of ideas that hit while I was writing something else, and I'd lost the fixation by the time I finished. There's still a few sticky notes with ideas in my phone, from inspo at work. I think I get a lot more ideas than I manage to write :(

15. What are your writing strengths? Beginnings. I love nothing more than going "Bang! Here's what's happening." Otherwise, I dunno what my strengths might be. Writing in full sentences for the first draft?

16. What are your writing weaknesses? Hanging on to the motivation to finish a fic. Not using a variation of the phrase "All they could do was hope." Nearly put that in thrice in three chapters by mistake, I'm sure it's getting old. Motivation for sure though, I miss the days when I was writing tropey one-shots, at least they were one and done.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I haven't really had a need to do it, and would worry about formatting if I did. Closest I've had to this was a heavily accented character, but I didn't really know how to write an accent and so I didn't write it in. Not sure if I'd do it that way again, but it made it easier.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for? Mafia: Definitive Edition. Wrote my first fic in one of my last year 12 math classes. Also the fandom that made me switch from looking at tumblr on Pinterest to actually being on tumblr. There wasn't enough content, so I had to go searching, and then make my own.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to? Really want to throw my hat into the ring on Wez/The Golden Youth, from Mad Max 2, but the only ideas I have for them are really long. Other ones I've considered writing include Forever, Red Dwarf, Sportarobbie from Lazytown, Johnny/Reg from SAS Rogue Heroes and Jude/Cardan from The Cruel Prince.

20. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written? I'm really liking the Galavant fic I'm writing at the moment, mainly because it's shamelessly self-indulgent. Probably one of my Mafia fics, Chosen by the Life, Choking on my Love or Bring Me Home. It's been a while since I've read my own stuff, this has been a real trip down memory lane.

Desperately trying to remember people who write so I can tag them... I'm so bad at names, if I miss you I'm sorry. And I may not know you at all well so I apologise if you find this weird.

[astraerystarr]

Hiii I came around your blog again and since you seem to like sonic I wanted to ask what's your opinion in the new movie? If that's okay?? <3

And also... opinions on Amy???

It's okay!!! No worries, it's been a while since I talked on this Tumblr again but I don't mind any asks <33

TIME TO BE INSANE ABOUT IT.

I thought the movie was good!! Not perfect, but it was good!

When it comes to humor and characterization, I still think the second one was the best at that. But S3 had a lot of themes and characters I like, and it also set up a good path for the other movies to follow, so I think it did a good job finishing some character's arcs and it works as a good setup for the future.

I'm really excited to see where they'll take things after this - AND how they'll bring Robotnik back since Jim Carrey is still up to do a fourth movie, but I have a feeling they'll tap into the multiverse for that (Which could then lead to them finding other types of emeralds like the Sol Emeralds and BLAZE AND SILVER) or some time-travel they teased in the leaked storyboards (Which could lead to angst and I LOVE IT).

Criticisms-wise, I do think they could have organized the time spent on some scenes a lot better and given us the DAMN SCENE WHERE STONE SAVES ROBOTNIK FROM THE ROBOT AND NURSES HIM BACK TO HEALTH. AAAA. I don't understand why they cut that out, it wouldn't even be that long of a scene!! Just a quick flashback like they already had planned in the storyboards!! And it would have added so much context behind Stone and Ivo's relationship that led to his realization in that last moment :'(( But that's about it, I liked the movie a lot <3

I also didn't think I'd cry but seeing Lee act with that much emotion got me and I was SOBBING Anon. Shadow and Sonic's talk on the moon? Cried. Maria's death? Cried. My old man yaoi continues being doomed, but it was such a good way to have their relationship progress that I'm okay with it!

The natural progression of that is to have Robotnik treating Stone with a lot more care now that he knows Stone genuinely cares about him, and I think I'd explode if we get more of them being soft with each other or if Robotnik calls Stone his family. AND HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE. It can be in his own way, maybe he builds something for Stone or anything else but my god Stone has gone THROUGH IT for him.

I genuinely believe they're trying to break them apart now to give Stone time to grow as a character BEYOND Robotnik - probably in a show like Wade and Knuckles', but with Stone and Shadow? - So if (when) they meet again, they'll be on equal grounds. Their dynamic would change even more then, and they could be a proper villain power couple <33

But I just hope they'll let Agent Stone shine now (Fowler PLEASE give us more Biker!Stone PLEASE that was SO badass) because he's suffered enough and Lee deserves everything that's good in the world, and if that includes going a little insane in the next movie then I'll be over here manifesting <3 He has the range too!! He played such an insane little guy in Get Fast. And Stone could be a different type of villain. Since Robotnik is the maniacal and extravagant type, Stone could be the quiet and menacing type! I don't know who else could be the villain if Robotnik is meant to stay dead, it's either Stone or they could probably bring a Robotnik from another universe into theirs and that would explain why there are so so many Metal Sonics there. Stone wouldn't have any reason to hold a grudge against Sonic. There's so much potential there!!

And I actually don't really have an opinion on Amy because I've always been a Blaze the Cat kid kjkjh but I think she's cool and her model looks pretty!! 'Small character with big hammer' will always be a peak concept, her personality could be such a good contrast to characters like Stone and Shadow like I've already seen on some awesome fanart in the Stobotnik tag, and I saw somewhere that the fourth movie could be a romantic comedy? I think it'd be cute to see the usual dynamic she and Sonic have, but I'm sure they already have a spin on that planned since everyone suddenly hates romance now.

BUT it'd be extra funny if the Rom-com plan is actually because of Stone and Robotnik meeting again with a post-divorce vibe. I'd spend all day looking at the angry reviews homophobes would leave

YAPPING SESSION OVER omg, but thank you so much for asking Anon kjdhdjh I don't have anyone to talk about this and there's not a single day where I don't think about these movies. The hyperfixation GOT ME

[pinkopalina]

don't bother reading

today is just not my day. it seems like everybody is doing better off without me and I feel really guilty for changing fandoms because like obviously I'm still interested in stobotnik but like clearly I have something else on my mind now and I'm scared I'm going to lose all my friends over it and also I hate myself for quitting my stupid job that I hated but I should have probably just forced myself through it instead of wanting something else and now I feel like I'm stuck in job limbo and it's only been 3 days but every time I tell myself that another day happens and the amount of days just keeps getting larger and larger and I can't help but spiral and feel shitty and I'm going to feel so stupid if I promised Sam that I could make this Gamble and then I just end up failing and not being able to get a job and one of the jobs that I could be hired for seems like she really likes me and might contact me but I can't have my pink hair and that just depresses me so much but it's possible that I could just spend a lot of money on temporary brown hair spray which I would be willing to do but like who knows if I'm even going to get that job and also my wrists hurt and I have commissions that I need to finish but I hate my art and I don't want to start drawing something because it's going to be hard and every artist has an easier time than I do and they can all just pump stuff out and I can't and I feel worthless and it just feels like society is doing everything in its power to make sure I'm unhappy because like everybody wants to drug test and nobody wants me to have in my hair and like I can't live in a world that is this unpleasurable to live in and I have no confidence in myself with applying to jobs that I might kind of like, I feel like they're just going to pass right over me and go for somebody with more experience or somebody who put a stupid cover letter on their resume and I kind of feel like I'm regressing because I can't feel better and I'm kind of at the point where I feel like I don't deserve to get better but all I do is rot and my home and cry after every job interview and I feel a lot of pain and regret over how I've left the last few jobs and I just don't really know what to do anymore

Body Pillows!!!!

Hey Stobotnik/Agent Stone/Robotnik Stans!!!!!

You may have seen my Agent Stone Body pillow design, or probably not who knows!!! Anyways, I’m designing a Robotnik one and one or two Stobotnik ones!!!!

But I’m going to need to know I have interest in them, and hopefully get preorders!! After I’ve finished the other designs, I’m going to order a test one of my Agent Stone pillow and see if it’s high enough quality. once I’ve done that, I’m going to open preorders for them!

So, if you have any interest in any of these kinds of pillows, please reply to this post, or rb, or like it! Spread this if you can as well!!!!

Also if you wanna see any other kinds of products (phone cases, charms, shirts, etc.) let me know! I plan to open a redbubble or society 6!!!

Stobotnik Headcanons, anyone?

Set in a mix of both canon and AU movie-verse, I've been musing over this really since the first movie (haven't seen the third but yes I know what happens and I'm dreading it)

ANYWAY!

Robotnik, to start with the main bad boy himself. As in canon, he's a polyglot, Italian, French, and I believe he'd also know Mandarin and most Russian.

Growing up in a group home, he read anything and everything he could get his hands on in a desperation for mental stimulation. Born Ivo Roberts, he hated his association with humanity so much that he legally changed his name at 18, sealing all records of this. Nearly expelled from one college at age 24 after an 'incident' with the head of the football team, he finished his second Ph.D before switching to another college and state for his next one. He made some money by selling dumbed down versions of his tech plans to companies that never knew he kept the best for himself.

Word of his tech got to GUN, and they reached out to hire him. Realizing the potential for funding and near endless resources, he accepted at age 30.

He's a movie fan, old classic horrors, very limited comedy (prefers Marx Bros for the witty banter) loves picking apart sci-fi to see if he could recreate the tech seen or to belittle how they went wrong in film. Stays quiet at the theater (rarely goes to day showings, prefers to go to late shows and stay in back away from people) but he's happy to talk and openly berate things when viewing at home.

Huge music fan, he finds music a pleasing way to communicate (will elaborate more in "As the Song Says")

Having lived with only college room mates or alone (both of which he hated), he's picked up skills in cooking, cleaning, etc. He doesn't mind cooking as he sees it as a science in it's own right, but housework annoys him and he prefers someone else tend to those details.

Diagnosed with Autism (or as one of his peers dared call it, 'chronic weirdness', they ended up missing a few teeth after that little comment), he also was diagnosed with extreme fear of being alone and a constant need for reassurance. As one doctor put it "I'd recommend he have a spouse or partner, but God have mercy on whomever takes that cursed role in his life".

Having been belittled and called useless most of his growing up years, Robotnik found himself secretly believing these cruel words, until a certain agent is assigned to him....

To be continued....

Fanfic Progress Update 155

I'm so glad it's Saturday, this week has been exhausting because of a Christmas market I participated in today - so much baking and other preparations. Anyway, stay tuned for the last sneak-peek for Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge at the bottom of this post!

Current WIPs:

Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary: Doctor Robotnik is simultaneously touch averse and touch starved, which results in a plan to "get the touching needs over with" in the most efficient way he could think of: cuddles overnight, when he wouldn't be doing anything useful anyway. Agent Stone was not privy to the plan until they arrived at their hotel room for their business trip.

Progress: Chapter 4 is the current latest chapter and was posted on 7th of December. Chapter 5 is finished and will be posted on 14th of December aka next Thursday, and then this fic will be officially done!

-----

I'm Signing in the Drain

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary (temporary): Not many people know this, but Doctor Robotnik is actually deaf and uses hearing aids to make up for it. Agent Stone does not know this, he just kind of assumes he's told to learn sign language upon being assigned for some other, mysterious reasons, and not as a "just in case" measure.

Progress: This fic will most likely have five chapters, maybe six if I get epilogue-happy or smth. The first chapter is now truly finished, as I fixed the ending to my liking. A new second chapter appeared because of a thing I removed from the first chapter but didn't want to ditch, so now it's in the process of being fully expanded on to be the second chapter. It's about 1/4 done. The old second chapter, now the third chapter, is finished now too.

I'm actually positive I can spin this into full on Stobotnik, because now I have a clear vision of how to go about it :D Also, I need to pick up the slack with writing this, because this will be the next in the line to be published unless some random oneshot(s) appear to fill in between Cuddles and this one to buy me more time. ...Not a word about how I could just write a chapter of this one in the time it'd take me to write an entire-ass oneshot >.> Shh, just be happy if you get more fics!

SBLF (workname)

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary (temporary):

Wanted: a yesman who is capable of operating an espresso machine, has at least a higher IQ than your average amoeba, and is willing to put work before having a personal life, or indeed a life, period. The extra in your pathetic paycheck is good, but the strain in your psyche will make up for the positives. Forfeit your basic human rights and apply today if this sounds like you. 

Maybe it said something about Agent Stone - and probably not good things - that the poster in the cafeteria's pin board piqued his interest more than any of his official assignments had for a good long while. 

Dr. Robotnik, huh?

Progress: This one will be a longfic, probably around 20 chapters. It's a bit hard to estimate at this point, so the number is subject to change. Or most likely I'll cut this into two fics in a series, because quite honestly, it's two stories in one package (that is, half of it is pre-canon and half post-canon.) My writing hours will be devoted to this fic.

I have the first four chapters completely written now. Chapter 5 is not yet started. I also have two halfway written chapters that don't yet know their exact placement within the fic (they're scenes that will be slotted in to wherever they feel natural, once we get Stone settled in.)

Other WIPs I’m not currently working on but intend to get back to Someday™:

PoE Drabbles (Pillars of Eternity)

DC Drabbles (Justice League)

Diaphanous Relations (Forgotten Realms, R.A. Salvatore’s books)

Rolling with it (Zelda: BotW)

Hah, our afterlife is the most hilarious bushwa, dearest! (Hazbin Hotel)

-----

That’s it for the WIPs! Here’s the promised sneak-peek into Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge (Note: the text may end up slightly different in the fic itself due to more editing happening before publishing). Enjoy!

Stone woke up at his usual time, two minutes to seven, without any aid from alarm clocks. Not that he had an alarm set for that time anymore, since his work started at ten to accommodate the doctor’s hatred for mornings, but years of habit and him being a morning person were hard to train out of.

Stone stretched as much as he could while being weighed down by Robotnik sleeping on his chest, then looked down at him with a fond smile. As usual, the doctor had his head tucked under Stone’s chin, was holding him loosely around the chest, and had their legs all tangled up together. He had not so much as stirred by Stone’s movements, so used to this arrangement by now.

Stone observed the sleeping doctor’s mess of a hair in the morning sun that was peeking in through the small gaps in the venetian blinds. He could see hints of auburn red at the roots and mentally added black hair dye to the shopping list. Why Robotnik hated his natural hair colour was a mystery to Stone, but he looked forward to helping him with the dyeing process anyway.

That’s it this time. See you next Saturday!

Fanfic Progress Update 151

HEY PEOPLE I'M BACK, WOO! Good news: lots of fics in the horizon. Bad news: they're neither Zelda nor Hazbin. Sorry :D Hope you liked the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, and Agent Stone/Doctor Robotnik ship in particular, because that's what's on the menu for the next while.

I'll be resuming my writing hour and Saturday updates, I'm just doing this one right now so that I can add a link to this blog in the fic I'm about to post very soon and it won't look super awkward.

Current WIPs:

Agent Stone was not privy to the plan until they arrived at their hotel room for their business trip.

Progress: First chapter is finished and will be posted within an hour from posting this, I'm just giving it a quick last minute proofread. Second chapter is finished, will be posted next Thursday - there will be a sneak-peek in the next progress update. Third - and last - chapter not started yet, but I will have two weeks to write it, so worry not.

Progress: This fic will have three chapters (maybe four if the fic decides to unexpectedly go wild). The second chapter is almost done, despite the first one not being written yet. I'm actually not sure if this fic will end up being Stobotnik aside from Stone being Big Gay as usual. We'll see what the third chapter will bring once I get there (tho I'll be writing the first chapter first, lol.)

Now for the actual progress. I have the first two chapters written (first is a prologue, so about half the length) and the third one is halfway done. I also have two halfway written chapters that don't yet know their exact placement within the fic (somewhere in the early middle, but like, are they chapters 5 and 6 or 7 and 8, nobody knows). I also have a rough map of the doctor's lab drawn, because I need to keep track of their movements. Send help.

Fanfic Progress Update 152

Hello, it's Saturday! That means I'm doing an update on the stories that are currently in the works. Stay tuned for a sneak-peek for Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge at the bottom of this post!

Current WIPs:

Keep the Cuddles Platonic -challenge

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary: Doctor Robotnik is simultaneously touch averse and touch starved, which results in a plan to "get the touching needs over with" in the most efficient way he could think of: cuddles overnight, when he wouldn't be doing anything useful anyway. Agent Stone was not privy to the plan until they arrived at their hotel room for their business trip.

Progress: Chapter 1 is the current latest chapter and was posted on 16th of November. Chapter 2 is finished and will be posted on 23rd of November aka next Thursday. There is a sneak-peek into the chapter at the bottom of this post. Chapter 3 is in a complicated situation - it was supposed to be the last chapter, but it already reached a word count to match the previous chapters and is at a perfect point to end it, should I want to. So, I have two options: 1. I let this chapter be longer than the other ones and keep the fic to three chapters total. 2. I end the chapter at the natural cut off it's currently at and simply do a chapter 4 to finish the fic with. I'm thinking that option 1 will be Plan A, and I'll go with it if the fic gets finished in roughly 500 more words. If, however, the fic keeps going to a 1000 more words, I'll do a chapter 4 and just flesh it out until it matches the other chapters in length. In short: Good news, more story one way or another, woop!

I'm actually not sure if this fic will end up being Stobotnik aside from Stone being Big Gay as usual, cause Robotnik is being very aroace right now and I don't know if he'll give Stone a chance or not, as that is not really the point of the fic. Anyway, I wrote a bit more since the last update, but not enough to finish the chapter, as I focused on Cuddles.

Every overnight business trip or remote mission involved nightly cuddling these days. There weren't very many of them, as most of Doctor Robotnik's work could be done remotely or the mandatory meetings and frankly pointless presentations were held at the Virginia headquarters, but every now and then travel was a necessary evil.

What had changed between the last trip and the current one was that Stone had found himself holding the doctor in a different regard. As in, he now had a massive, soul consuming, heart palpitations inducing crush on the man, and that was terrifying.

As he dragged their luggage in, he forced himself to remember the doctor's words from the very first time they had this arrangement: purely platonic. Non-intimate.

While the focus had been on Stone keeping his hands to himself and his pants untented, surely that included romantic notions too.

That’s it this time. See you next Saturday!
