SCREAMING and CRYING and PISSING myself. Styling Star is a such a neat little game where you assume it's just a regular dress up game for the 3ds but the more you play the more invested you become in Rosie, Yolanda, and Alina and side quests like Hitomi/Momo and Camilla and you become so invested in all their stories and at the end of the day it is a kid's game that doesn't let boys wear crop tops but it's genuinely amazing but it's a digital exclusive game for a 12 year old console that was already last gen when it came out so almost no one has experienced it and that makes me so sad

I'm so glad that my parents don't really come into my room that often and ask me what I'm doing, because how am I supposed to explain to two 45+ adults that I'm writing a Shadow the Hedgehog time travel fic when they both know for a fact that I've never plaid any of the games and the last cartoon I watched was Sonic Underground

3, 14, and 20 for the music ask game! :)
Oooh, fun!! Thank you for the questions!! <3
3. A song you’d choose to introduce someone to your favorite genre
This one is hard, because I don't think I have a favourite genre! I listen to a little bit of everything, honestly.
If I had to pick a genre that I love and that's relatively less popular, I'd go for jazz! And in that case, I think a wonderful introduction to the genre is anything by legends Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, especially when they sung/played together -- and I'd recommend this version of Summertime as a starting point. It's an incredible piece, full of technical ability, emotion, virtuosity and atmosphere, and it showcases a lot of what I love about jazz as a genre.
14. A song you love to sing along to
So many. So many. I *adore* singing and I love my music, so I'll honestly sing whatever I'm listening to and have a great time with it (as long as I'm alone, and even in company sometimes!). If it's not within my range, I'll find a way.
I'm especially fond of songs that allow me to be a bit dramatic -- stuff like Italian heartbreak anthem Maledetta Primavera or, for a more international example, Holding Out For A Hero (yes, I do all the voices -- and the poses, of course).
20. A song you’d put on a playlist for the person who sent you this ask
Ooh, interesting! To be honest I mostly associate you with classical music, and you seem to be fond of it, so I think I'd fill a playlist for you with my favourite classical pieces :) what would you say to the Duo des fleurs from Delibes' Lakmé?

Yesterday (november 11) all 16 participants of Benidorm Fest 2024 were revealed - the songs will be revealed on december 14th. I wanted to make this post talking about all the possible representants of Spain in ESC 2024, as a little intro to them and how their songs might sound like. As always, everything will be below the cut :)

Her leap to fame was being the runner up in the first edition of Spanish X Factor, in 2007, but she became a phenomenon when she starred in iconic teen drama Física o Química (2008-2011) as Paula Blasco. She also released various albums and songs, like the hit and iconic emo bop Sola en el silencio. After the show she has appeared in various TV programs like Tu Cara Me Suena, and has continued making music as well as acting in theatre, cinema and TV shows. Her last released song is Dualidad.

Tumblr media
María Peláe (Málaga, 33) is an icon and a flamenco singer known for her witty and ironic lyrics, with a modern spin on traditional sounds. She started her career in 2016 after studying Anthropology and Social Work in university, and so her songs usually have a social message. In fact, in 2023 she was awarded the Rainbow Award by the Ministry of Equality for her work in the LGBTQ+ scene. A song I really recommend of hers regarding this is La Niña, a very fun song about wlws (also the music video is soooo). She has released two albums - the second of which won an Odeón to Best Flamenco Album, and has participated in various TV shows like Tu Cara Me Suena. Her most popular song is Por si te vas, and her latest single is Letra Menúa.

They even sing some of Maneskin's song in their concerts. In 2021 they were nominated for Best New Artist or Group in the Los 40 Music Awards, and have collabed with Nil Moliner, La Pegatina or Despistados. I listen to their song bailamorena at least once a week (i wish i was joking), tho their most popular song is Me Sabe Mal. Their latest released song is Red Flags.

Tumblr media
Sofia Coll i Benito (Barcelona, 24) is a singer, actress, and dancer who rose to fame as a participant of The Voice Kids when she was 14, although she didn't release music until 2019, with songs that mixed Spanish and English. She was one of the protagonist of the TV show Bany Compartit (I watched the first episode while writing this, it's really fun and I really recommend it! Episodes are around 10 minutes long, and you can find all of them in RTVE Play and Youtube; they're in catalan, but there's Spanish subs available), and she was one of the dancers in Rosalía's mv for Fucking Money Man. Finally, she participated in the Catalan music contest Eufòria this year, ending up 4th. Her most popular song is Tú Mente y Yo Corazón, and her latest song is Génesis: Alive.

Keep scrolling for the AU story...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AU story:
In this AU it kinda takes some ideas from the Archie comics. The Robotnik family worked with the Acorn kingdom, but upon discovering a hidden echidna temple under the castle, Eggman becomes obsessed with it, enraged that the kingdom has hidden what could be, ultimate power. Against his grandfather's wishes, he and maria run experiments, only for them to fail, leading to Maria and Eggman's parents vanishing, along with several mobians. Eggman escapes, but Maria is struck with a strange chaos ilness that seems to be nullified through contact with Chaos energy... but the Chaos emeralds are off limits. Eggman is exiled, but he vows to return for the emeralds and take the castle with his genious creations. Despite Gerald and Maria being under strickt watch, Gerald Robotnik tries to create a living emerald in secret, underground, drawing up the god of chaos and creating Shadow... But he's found out as Eggman attacks for the first time. He escapes with Shadow and Maria in the chaos, passing off Shadow as an orphan from the city. Suspicions arise as Shadow begins showing strange powers... it isn't long before the war catches up to them, and Sonic meets the mysterious hedgehog again, years later.
partly to make up for that extremely sad post ahhahahahaha

God Tier Top Gun Fanfictions. A Masterlist. (2/3)
Part two of my fanfic recommendation! This one's for the best series!
Winner Categories:
1. Best of the Best Authors (1/3)
2. Best of the Best Series (2/3)
3. Best of the Best Fics (3/3)
REMINDER! READ THE AUTHORS' TAGS AND WARNINGS!!!
Best of the Best Series
Some of the best series where every work is a banger. Binge read these and have fun!
and i think it's gonna be a long, long time by boasamishipper @boasamishipper
The Captain Marvel AU of Top Gun, with Maverick Mitchell as Carol Danvers and Iceman Kazansky as Maria Rambeau.
These are so fun and interesting! I love how well Ice and Mav fit in the Marvel universe. My favorite is this one:
screaming in the sonar
“Kazansky’s missing,” Fury says. Everything in Maverick’s body goes cold. He feels like the very breath from his lungs has been sucked out, leaving him nothing but a gaping chasm of terror. “What?” “He was reported missing three days ago; I just found out today. There were signs of a struggle at his house, and…” Here Fury hesitates, and Maverick knows that whatever will follow cannot be good. “There was a ransom message left on his communicator, Maverick. It was written in Kreeglyphs.”
Mav going berserk because they hurt Ice. Chef’s kiss. I keep rereading these stories every few months and I’m always delighted to read it again. boasamishipper, your brain is truly magnificent!
look at the sky and you will always find me by dangerousinlove @gohoubi
Iceman/Maverick fics.
Seventy five, SEVENTY FIVE of some of the most creative and heart-wrenching Icemav fics. It’s short, but a lot of them have categories, like Retirement-Verse or Wolf!Iceman-Verse, so if you’re looking for bite-sized fics within the same universe, check these out. My favorite:
blood in the water
After his cancer, Iceman finds out that going back to normal is harder than he thought.
Heavy angst, like really heavy. Absolutely decimated my heart. But it’s a possible scenario and it makes me sadder when I think about Ice’s cancer and how surviving affected him. 
Gayboy Airlines & Goose, LLC by aelibia @topgunreacts
Bits and pieces of Maverick's life as an amateur and later pro dom. Also Ice is there.
Of course, aelibia deserves a second mention because they’re just that good. Aside from AortaArgent, aelibia’s one of the authors I trust to write about sex. Their writing makes blood rush south but also to the heart. My favorite:
Product Testing 
Somebody has to test out all these sex toys. Might as well be Ice and Maverick. [oneshot series with standalone chapters]
The portrayal of Icemav’s sex is fun and familiar, the kind of act born from years of vulnerability and complete trust in each other. It kind of showed me that sex can be fun, it doesn’t have to be so hot and serious all the time. You can get off but you can laugh while doing so. Overall, a very good portrayal of a different kind of sex that I don't often find.

So there's a lot karaoke in the game, yes? I think, to troll them all, mc will sing only "Take me to church" by Hozier until one of them dares to speak up about it
LOL. I honestly feel like there are a lot of songs that you could do this with that would essentially just be trolling them.
There's also the question of whether certain words hurt them, as demons. I mean there's a part in that song that's just "amen" you know what I'm saying? Like would that cause them actual pain? Or would it just be really awkward??
While it's not likely to be a karaoke choice, I do think it'd be really bad to sing the Hallelujah chorus in their presence. Or pretty much any overly religious song. Lemme throw out some Come Thou Fount, you know what I'm saying?!?
I only know songs like these because I was in choir in school and I grew up in a religious place lol.
But it'd be funny if that bothered them, I could really bust out some bangers. Gonna start singing Ave Maria every morning aslkdfjdfjf
At least with Take Me To Church you can do it karaoke style. And that'd be so funny. Like I wonder how many times you'd have to sing it before one of them is like hey... MC... are you ever gonna sing anything else??
And then you act totally oblivious like Why would I? This song is my favorite!!
And they all just kinda groan and allow you to continue because what're they gonna do? Tell you that you can't sing your favorite song? Not those demons lol.

USO kit tier list based on my bias
(just the players I normally watch)
WTA:
Tier A+
coco - NB's design and colour choice always makes so much sense. the back side design and the width of the skirt's folds are supre cute 🥺 they actually use their brain when designing kits!
naomi - without the jacket its maybe just so so, but an absolute banger with the jacket on. should be remembered as a historically significant kit for tennis fashion. and the headphones ohmygawd 🥺🥺🥺 who ever think this kit is not cute can fight me
Tier A
maria - whenever she gets a tank top kit she serves hard. nice colour choice and skirt design by addidas (cant believe im saying that) so sad it only existed for 1 set 😭
marta - wilson just going with the 1 dress design that worked well in every slam and its still working well. the skirt's texure looked so nice in the wind
Tier B
dasha & karo - a bit boring but suits their vibes well
qinwen - same. would like some brighter colours but was fine
katie & bibi - the actual best nike WTA kit. lilac looks cute especially under sunlight, but the design is a bit too boring for me
Tier C
elena - colour is cute, she looks like a barbie in pink, but 0 design and 0 sense in the patterning choice. looks like some swim suit my mom would buy me when I was 10
aryna (nigh match version)- how dare they call that a custom kit i can do the same design in 10 mins
Iga - bisexual flag colour but a low saturation version. also points taken off for their kits starting to look like wet tissue 20 mins into a match
Tier D
Mirra & Paula - hate the colour hate the design. nike how dare you put that ugly ass kit on them die and rot in hell
jasmine - (a) its the same north american hard court swing kit asics making 0 effort as usual (b) i do not understand that colour choice like why dull reddish purple with bright orange. what made you think of that
ATP:
Tier A+
daniil- nice colours, nice jacket, nice little design around the chest part, nice shoes. wth lacoste you can actually design???????
Tier A
Adidas people - contrary to their RG series the purple-ish blue the used this time works very well with black & white and minimalist design
Carlos - black sleeveless will never not look nice on him but its still a bit boring. would love to have a bit more special texture, with that it will def be A+
Francis - the only person that got the good nike kit (i.e. the lilac kit) in ATP if im not mistaken
Tier B
lorenzo (musetti) i like guys who wear barbie pink and look proud wearing it
matteo - not super interesting design but colour is cute. also he looks nice in polo shirts
Grigor - standard lacoste design with reasonable colour choice
Tier B-
Jannik- the kit was okay and looked a bit better than i expected. im just still a angry about his 1st set
casper - its actually okay but he kind of looked exactly the same as his opponent so i really had a hard time watching 😭
Tier C
novak - i dont understand the design why so many squares and rectangles sir can you explain. it just makes him look more like a tennis robot with implanted AI
holger (the purple kit) - should have just taken the barbie pink one
ben - same with iga. seriously i would like to know how much ON has paid them to wear those wet tissue kits
Taylor - it looks fine but 0 design, just went for the safest choice
Tier D
Jack - (a) i do not understand the back side design (b) nike how did you make the T shirt look oversized for a 193cm tall and rather muscular athlete wtf
Alex - is that pattern choice meant to make his opponent dizzy by looking at him or something

So it might be kind of obvious from my last string of reblogs (and the upcoming queued posts), but I've fallen down the rabbit hole that is Metaphor: ReFantazio. 60 hours in and still not done, but still utterly obsessed. Some notes:
I can't even really describe the plotline without making it sound really tired and cliched and preachy, but I promise it's all very well handled. They manage to explore themes of prejudice and inequality and draw the parallels to our world (the "Metaphor" is basically the whole game lol) without beating you over the head with a fixed message of "this is what we must do to make our world better." There are many very serious moments that hit real hard
And there are moments that are absolutely hilarious
The characters available as party members are all remarkably likeable, and this is the first game in a long time where I've found it hard to have a favourite "main" party. Heismay is adorable
The Follower questlines, including the ones for non-party NPCs, are also generally good. I may or may not have gotten attached to a certain minor character pretty dude that absolutely no one is talking about. Also Maria is a darling and I will protect that child with my life
Seriously you guys everyone is rightly raving over Hulkenberg and Strohl and here I am irrationally attached to Alonzo Crotalus
As a whole the OST is not the strongest I have heard, but some tracks are absolute bangers
On that note, the Esperanto chanting on several tracks was done by an actual Buddhist monk, and there's something delightful about the artist for a JRPG bgm track being listed as "Keisuke Honryo (Chief priest of Myojoji temple)
Also for the FFXIV fans, the English VA for Lady Junah was also the English VA for Ryne, Emma Ballantine. She sings a couple of songs in game, and boy does she have a hell of a voice.
Combat system is very Persona/SMT, and actually pretty hard, at least for me. MP conservation is a bitch (and yes I know all the tricks with the passives). I have shamelessly dropped to easy mode for my playthrough. Also, bless the fight rewind button
Why is the main story dungeon for the 4th city so unnecessarily, soul-crushingly long????
You can pet the cat

Teacher's Pet part 6
Tumblr media
Synopsis: The game is set, and the players are playing. The Doctor and the Reader...what will go on?
A/n: I'm laughing evily. Also, I'm in good spirits, had a phenomenal day. This one is a bit longer. Turns out if you have little responsibility, besides yourself, you can bang out a banger. Also, listen to Maria by Justin Bieber.
You saw the Gmail alert go off on your phone as you changed into a suitable cute outfit and did your first layer of work make up. You were out of luck, there was a new girl in and she was getting the VIP treatment with the largest suite offered. You were moisturizing yourself before you dared to look. You really couldn’t be arsed if it was a personal email on your private account. And you didn’t need the anxiety if it was on your school account. You were angry that you didn’t have enough room to stretch out or put emotional distance between a man and you, if the situation provided required it.
You got yourself perfect, as there were already some cars in the car park. Probably a bit of stress relief before these men went home to their wives and kids. They’d blame traffic. Probably.
You didn’t know or care. Their lives seemed like parallel universes. Hypothetical. Unproven. Just a theory.
You decided to give yourself another dusting of antiperspirant before checking your phone.
It was fucking him…
You opened it,
“Dear (y/n),
It’s a shame that you’re not well. I’ll see you at the same time as last week. Secure the notes from someone.
Cordially yours,
Professor Smith.”
And that’s the name of that tune, you bitterly scoffed. You tossed your phone onto the table you had it rest on with the rest of your needs for work.
Seemed up his alley to wreck your focus! With his stupid face and stupid lust for life!
Plus, being on your phone was not focused on your bag.
Out of sight, out of mind..
You said “Hello” to the security guy again on your way to the bar. A few men were there and you had hours to go before your first appointment. One of the other girls working was talking to two at once. One was in deep discussion with the bartender and the phone girl.
One man was nursing a beer and was watching something on his phone. A target.
Good.
You walked over and put in the work. He was easily satisfied and went back to the bar and nursed another beer before getting up and leaving.
You actually had a good day and napped easily before you went on your second shift. You had plenty of money and dropped a fat, crisp twenty note in front of the homeless person outside the shops.
You bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked one on your way back to the cloister of your “office”. You let out a shaky cough. It had been over a week since your last one, so obviously, the smoke hit your lungs harshly.
Damn that man!
You napped some more before returning to work. Fresh outfit, even more make up. A spritz of perfume to hide the scent of smoke in the hair…
A whole routine.
Friday night was lucrative to the point of pain. You had to tell your manager and booking girl that you were going on a walk and needed a break.
You took your phone, bundled up, and your headphones.
It was after midnight, dangerous, but whatever. Keep to the area.
You had a wonderful time, the few cigarettes you consumed and the Fanta you drank restored you. The music was a good thing.
Suddenly the air felt heavy. And you felt observed. Something on the back of your neck. The hairs. It felt perverse. You paused your music and took out your headphones long enough to hear a weird, distinctive “vwrorrp-vworrp” followed by what sounded like a car wheezing.
Whatever the hell it was-it freaked you out enough to go back in the safety of the car park.
You finished up and went back. Had a quick shower and started preparing for the next chapter of your work shift.
You hated the stupid schedule system, but shifts like this made it all worth it.
Saturday was just a bit slower and Sunday, outside some bookings that were already scheduled was glacial and dry. Bad fishing.
Thank heavens for Thursday and Friday! You thought. You made bank, and had some fun. Always a good thing. And the manager got you all some fancy pizza in celebration of the new girl surviving her first rotation. And her deciding that all this was worth some more time to sell.
The manager really must have taken a shine to her. That never happened.
All in all? Good work. You could rest easy for the rest of the week. And pay off bills. And afford to shop at a fancy health food store instead of probably junk, loaded with shit, that’ll kill you quicker.
Yippee!
You had barely thought of your little distraction all weekend, until Monday.
Your alarm went off. And you remembered you hadn’t responded to him.
“Thanks! Sorry for the late reply! I was busy! I’ll be there!” It was quick, apologetic and mostly-honest.
Him.
You cursed yourself out. The minute he came into focus, you were a bigger mess than you were ever before!
You messaged someone who you knew had probably had the notes from Thursday. No such luck. And your little meeting was looming large.
You’d have to tell him the truth, you fucked up. No notes.
Deciding to revel in the mundane, before leaving, you made yourself a nice cup of mint tea with honey. You sat in a corner wrapped in your blanket and luxuriate in the warmth of the tea and the rest of the blanket pile. You wasted a few minutes on social media. Drowning your brain cells seemed like a good idea. A distraction for you from the returned knot in your stomach and hole in your heart that your stupid crush on Professor Smith had caused. A very welcome one.
After all, you did have couple thousand pound weekend! A freak occurrence! Rare! So why not indulge in some mindless self care?
After a while, you made the smart choice and readied yourself for school and the war zone that being locked in the office with him would be.
The class you had in the morning slipped by with your focus becoming increasingly erratic. You didn’t want to go, but you trudged into the bathroom to psych yourself up. Not out..
Finally stable, you trudged your way to your new Hell. A concept that, up until this semester, was comical to you.
You felt like a clown.
Booboo the Fool.
You had to laugh at yourself. Buy yourself a clown nose and ship yourself off to the circus!
Pathetic!
You knocked raptly. Maybe you’d just go into a manic state or overdrive and the time would fly away and you’d go back to life. And he would potentially be scared of you enough to back off and not encourage any more meetings besides what your schedule permitted…
He welcomed you in, offered to take your jacket and pulled out the chair for you.
“I had my assistant get me some hot chocolate for us.” He gestured over to some disposable cups lodged into one of those cardboard cup holder things.
The fuck was he doing? Had you passed out and entered dream world? Was he tormenting you? Did he know that you were just head over heels for him?
“Thanks…” You said and took it. You off-handedly wished you had those strips that you could test if a drink had been fucked with. Not that you’d accuse him of it. Or rather that you leapt to the conclusion that he was trying to. Life had taught you that free drinks from men sometimes came with consequences.
You reassured yourself that he was still besotted with his dead wife. The total badass.
You envied her. She got what you clearly desired.
You swallowed a sip.
He seemed casual. Had a simple jumper on over his body and a pair of dark jeans. You noticed he wore Doc Martens. Very ageing punk rocker. The jumper hung on his chest quite well. He was skinny, but you could see his chest was sturdy.
“So, did you get your notes?” He smiled, all of his teeth showing. He seemed to know something. There was a bizarre glint in his eye. It was as freaky as it was mesmerizing.
“No, didn’t get a chance. I’m going to the school tutoring soon. I’ll talk to them about it. My fault. The weekend got away from me. I was swamped at work. And then I forgot. I’m sorry.” You blabbered on, deeply apologetic.
You prayed in your mind that if Gd was listening, for him to open a hole up in the planet, swallow you whole, and that you were sorry for that one time you accidentally ate a cheeseburger drunk.
Among other sins…
“Then I have to educate you from scratch. You remember on Tuesday we were talking about the nature of the universe and what it owes us? If it owes us?”
“Yes.” You added a keen head-shake. Remembering how you fled the room and had a mental breakdown.
“What if you put in the work? For years. Centuries even. Battled with the darkness in yourself and others. Saved all you could save. Then what? Would the universe grant you a favor? What would you do to garner that favor?”
You were losing the plot. Clearly.
“What if you were timid and didn’t mean to tread on things? Just survived. Suffered a bit, nothing to write home about, but still enough to Mar your soul? Did what you had to. Would the universe grant you mercy in form of a favor?”
Seemed like this was bordering on less of philosophy and more of theology. Something a small child would pester their rabbi or priest or imam or whatever about. But that was first glance.
Secondary seemed like it was flying too close to the sun.
Self-descriptive much?
God complex?
You slung an arm on your chair and settled back. A game? Is that was he was getting at?
“If the universe owed someone something, that would be antithetical. If you’re bargaining with a God, which is what it seems that you are proposing…Gods usually don’t answer you unless you give them a good offer first.” Your tongue clicked forward, you could feel your eyes making a push forward, widening.
You could play along.
“Are you making an offering to a deity? Dear professor…” You crossed your arms and leaned forward.
You saw something pass over his face. A trillion different micro-calculations. Several amused and several dark looks.
He swallowed.
What was his deal? You mused before trying a new string of words.
“Or are you the God here?” You blasphemed…pursing your lips. Biting the skin under them.
More emotions shot through his painfully attractive face. The lines on his face seemed to glimmer deeper.
He swallowed harder. A singular eyebrow arched up.
Seriously, those things were weapons.
“What if I am?” He breathed out.
“Does that make your students your devotees?” You pushed a bit further…
He slinked over to the chair and leaned forward. Fully turning his eyes unto your soul. “Oh, maybe you’d enjoy that.” He smoothed out his voice, directly into your mind. It seemed to echo into the corners of your skull. Vibrating.
You would enjoy it. Too much.
Your body and mind felt flushed and overheated. The office seemed to get as hot as a midsummer day on the beach.
“So, does the universe get what it’s owed, (y/n)?”
Your breathing quickened and your throat got dry. You reached (well more like flailed…) for your beverage. A big gulp, not breaking eye contact.
“Are you a devotee? To come worship at the altar?” He questioned further. Placing both of those incredible hands at the sides of the chair. Leaning further forward. His cool breath hitting your face. It smelled fresh. Not like good oral hygienic skills, but something foreign and strong. Striking, and a little addictive. You could spend the rest of your life trying to find a word to describe it further, or something to compare the scent to. It’s was…incredible. And maybe edible.
Barely two inches stayed between your noses. If you were a computer, you would have blue screened.
Your were human, and could afford no such luxury, sadly.
The pit of your stomach closed up.
An increasingly rare, but familiar throb coursed through you as warmth accelerated its way through your body. Rocking your core. Your heart was rocketing for the moon. You started to sweat. Literally.
You clenched yourself. Literally squeezed your legs together. To stop yourself from coming undone. From going deeper under this spell he cast on you.
But too late!
Far too late!
You already were becoming quite undone. Wet in more ways than just the sweat now forming on your brow and your back.
You knew what he was getting at. But didn’t want to conceded the victory to him…
Why did he make you buckle?
And more importantly, why did he seem to want you to buckle?
The trap was set, it was elaborate and elegant. He even provided drink and ambiance! How could you be so blind?
Especially you!
A shoe on the other foot…
You felt in a verbal checkmate.
“Maybe.” You choked out finally after a short eternity. Your heart raced faster still, threatening to break through it’s cage.
“Maybe isn’t good enough.” Another breath washed over your face. The gap between your noses closed to barely an inch.
You buckled…

Tumblr media
by the way this was supposed to be a- what songs are on their playlists hc but i got carried away lolol
but here’s like a poorly written version cus i lazy </3
: wanderer hcs
: fluff, crack, angst, a lil suggestive?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
bro listens to cigarettes after sex religiously, like take a look at this man and tell me he doesn’t fall asleep thinking about you to sunsetz. i think he focuses a lot on songs with deeper meanings, lyrics mean a lot to him. he’s the typa guy to post a picture of you or your hands or smt like that on his private with a cas song playing in the background. (#mewhen?)
Tumblr media
okay being a cas fan definitely means you probably love the neighbourhood too. like duh!!!! midnight drives with kuni and you guys blast the neighbourhood, stopping at gas stations to get ice cream or slushies. he loves to hear you sing, definitely makes comments like “u sound so bad shut up” but he loves that you are so trusting and comfortable with him. he’s also the type to ask “why’d you stop singing?” even though he was complaining about it a minute ago…
Tumblr media
this is such a banger. anyway i think he’d have this song on his playlist and it’s just one of those songs that he dreams about you to. like hello? its one of those songs you guys listen to while sharing earphones, holding hands as he sends you home <3
Tumblr media
when he plays video games i think mac miller is such a vibe, as he sits in front of the television and you in between his legs he rests his head on your head TT. its so cozy and so peaceful you could fall asleep and sometimes you do, he definitely hears the song congratulations and thinks of you- like you are the embodiment of the piano he hears, so elegant and graceful even as you drool in his arms <3 (not a single day goes by do i not miss mac miller i think of him and i cry.)
Tumblr media
help this cover by the marias, kuni thinks of you to this song when he’s so hot and bothered. it’s weirdly sensual and he feels so embarrassed but, i mean its the marias… what do you expect. don’t play this song around him, i mean unless you want to get him a little riled up. ^^
Tumblr media
wait wait, dont question it, JUST IMAGINE- KARAOKE?!?! okay sorry :((

autism rambles
headcanons i yapped to a friend (@herconfuse im so sorry buddy)
theres a shit ton, some tdas but most are metal family. also these are copy pasted from spacehey, in parts cause i hit the character limit. four times. if some make more sense reading them as a dm, thats why. im so autistic about this show bro.
tw for various types of abuse when talking about glam and his backstory and family, also superrr limited mention of sh there too
theres probably gonna be another part to this at some point
tdas: - mal acted like a villain for the show bc fans enjoy drama and on my LIFE chris is rigging votes based on fan popularity and who he personally likes. so mal was just being overdramatic so he could stay on longer. two steps ahead frfr (ok nikocado pack it up /silly) - vito x anne maria. idc that the show tries to make her look bad, those two are so cute and systems can date different people bro - mike x zoey, obv, but also svetlana x zoey. shes poly for her partner sys ur honor. also, bi zoey. and super supportive singlet zoey. idk i love zoey sm shes so sweet - dawn is pagan, probably works with gaia or some other version of mother earth - cameron is autistic as hell bro thats not even a headcanon thats basically canon atp. that boy has so much tism in him - B is transmasc (yes this is tdroti not tdas. shush.)
metal family: - i think dee listens to white girl music sometimes - he picked it up from ches, who would blare 2000s white girl bangers to annoy his mom during fights - gustav has been to prison and had his record cleared via shady payoff to the govt - mary was married to gustav via some sort of arranged marraige (possibly a forced taxes and traditional conservative values thing cause he absolutely would [i hate gustave with a passion]) - gustav died believing that glam got fully possessed by the devil during that one scene - glam gets nightmares about his dad and/or about becoming like his dad and hurting his wife and kids. his sleep schedule is still ass to this day - nobody knows the full extent of glam's childhood, not even ches - ches probably assumed glam's scars were self inflicted due to location, and he hasnt asked to clarify bc he doesnt really know how - hes absolutely noticed tho - lif and dee consider the rat their adopted son and his theme song is rats by ghost since they both canonically like that band - heavy prefers the metallica version of enter sandman, dee likes the ghost cover better - vicky listens to viking metal and aggressive sea shanties - glam would love chappel roan - ches would love sabrina carpenter - dee would unironically like taylor swift and would tell NOBODY - dee is not only a brony (canon), but also a furry. he has a fursona and a ponysona - dee would be a reality shifter but he doesnt believe it exists - dee does NOT like cats. heavy absolutely loves them. lif likes them, but also draws gore of them (not in an edgy way but she thinks the biology is neat and has an art style where it works) - lif sits in graveyards in her spare time
metal family part 2: - heavy is a theistic satanist, dee is an atheist (canon), lif is an atheistic satanist but likes theistic satanism quite a bit, glam is an atheist, vicky is a norse pagan, ches is in tune with the universe and just calls himself "spiritual, not religious" - dee writes fanfic - i love headcanons where dee is just an absolute fucking nerd cause its SO ACCURATE bro that boy is a GEEK - dee knows the basics of chemical warfare from his chemistry phase - he could and absolutely would nuke someone if he had good reason
metal family part 3: - dee is a controlled pyromaniac - dee steals from big businesses and never from small/independent ones, he taught heavy who only steals food (candy, drinks, etc) bc anything else makes him feel guilty - dee has a spacehey account - hes also very active on the dark web, and holds a paywall on hacker services for people - he has sent things to people who wanted him to hack for shitty reasons. by things, i mean animals. not alive ones. also, small pipe bombs that arent quite deadly but will still hurt pretty damn badly - dee will jailbreak people's school devices, for a fee - hes such a con artist except hes not cause he actually pulls through - his stalker thing with lif was purely genetic, idk how but it was (see: glam stalked vicky too) - both relationships are super healthy tho dwdw - heavy cant work the internet without dees help, but is very active online where hes allowed to be - dee is a dipper personality type, heavy is a mabel personality type, and lif channels bill cipher without the,, yknow,, pure insanity - that one pink haired girl whos name i cant remember is super nice but super sheltered from alt subcultures and queer people, think caitlyn from my creative writing class (ik you dont know her)
metal family part 4: - lif had a dsmp phase and was an e girl in 2020 - she also has a scene phase shortly after - goth isnt her only style but its def her main and shes super good at the makeup and also the dancing - heavy would pierce someone for enough money - dee would give people tattoos at school for money, but he refuses to do stick and poke so he cant (doesnt have a machine) - lif draws art commissions online - dee and lif are both huge creepypasta enjoyers and have loads of ocs - heavy knows the basic ones (jeff the killer, toby, ben drowned, etc) - heavy and dee would write and produce films with shitty production quality thatre somehow really good and post them on youtube - dee takes college level classes and is aiming for his two-year by graduation (omg look its ollie projecting onto his fav characters again) - glam is pan, dee is demiromantic ace, heavy is straight as a fucking board, vicky is straight but was bicurious at one point cause lesbians absolutely love her (anna has a one sided crush one her rip), ches is gay but doesnt date much anyways, lif is bi with a preference for girls (although technically she has a preference for dee) - lif had a pink and girl phase in elementary, complete with the justice and claires stuff - lif is a demigirl (our lif is transfem i think iirc)

On Shadow working for G.U.N. and “Never Turn Back”
Tumblr media
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing the fact that Shadow works for G.U.N. at the time of Sonic ‘06. Most people have the argument that “G.U.N. is the organization that killed Maria!” Their logic is that he shouldn’t be willing to work for the organization that killed his best friend. I have a few problems with that take. 
The first is that it fundamentally isn’t the same organization. It’s been 50+ years since that happened, and the current head honcho of G.U.N. is someone who was also personally traumatized by Maria’s death. While the Commander and Shadow had their differences in Shadow the Hedgehog, that was mostly over a misunderstanding and those events aren’t even solidly canon. I personally perceive the first 10 endings of ShTH05 and the events that lead to them as all hypotheticals; only the final “true” ending actually happened. In that case, they may have never actually confronted each other initially. 
The other reason is because of what the entire arc Shadow underwent in his titular game achieved. Shadow learns not to dwell on the past. He learns that he needs to keep moving forward, and never turn back. This is not a covert theme, either; the ending theme of ShTH05 is literally the track “Never Turn Back” by Crush 40. It happens to be my favorite Sonic vocal track because this song just fits Shadow’s ending so perfectly here (plus it’s a banger). I recommend you listen to it yourself, but I’ll mention the relevant lyrics here. Let’s go through the first verses.
It's been a long, rough road
And I'm finally here
I move an inch forward
Feels like a year
Everything I feel seems so unreal
Is it true?
Is it true?
I take one step forward
And two steps back
Got a hundred thousand pounds
Sitting on my back
Up, down, all around
Don't know quite what to do
To get through
Shadow is burdened not just by the title of “Ultimate Lifeform” but also by his promise to Maria. All of this, combined with the fact that he only just rediscovered who and what he is, and the sledgehammer to the head that would be finding out you are a biological weapon and a tool that has been used to nefarious ends on multiple occasions would certainly feel like a hundred thousand pounds sitting on your back. This section signifies Shadow struggling with that responsibility — but he’s taking it on. He will help people, he will keep his promise to Maria, he will be the Ultimate Lifeform.
I guess I'm moving all right and I'm on my way
Facing every moment day by day
Take a chance, slip on by, got no time to answer why
Head straight, head straight
What will I become if I don't look back
Give myself a reason for this and that
I can learn, no U-turns, I will stay right here where I'm at, where I'm at
Shadow is starting to overcome some of that pressure. There’s still doubts as he makes the decision to keep moving forward without looking back — he asks, “What will I become if I don’t look back; give myself a reason for this and that.” He very quickly reaffirms the commitment in the next line, but it does show some doubt. At the end of the day, his past still defines who he is. His promise to Maria, his responsibility as a forceful individual still drive him forward and compel him to do the right thing. But the other aspects of his past he is choosing to leave behind.
Well I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way
Here I am,
Made it to the end of you
Never had a chance while I'm around
No! No!
No, no, no, no!
Well, now I'll never turn back,
I'll never turn that way
No matter how life tries to face me
I'll turn the other way
Now and then,
My head starts to spin,
But I'll never turn back again
No! No!
From this moment on,
I am moving on,
And I'll never turn back
Again
The chorus is Shadow’s promise: a promise to himself, to Maria, and to the world. He will never turn back to the weaponized hatred that Gerald programmed into him. He will never turn back to the alien domination of a doomed species. He will never return to thinking he could be an android subservient to Dr. Eggman. From this moment on, he’s moving on. 
Tumblr media
Shadow’s entire character in Sonic ‘06 is an affirmation of the development he underwent in his own game. Shadow has a static arc in ‘06; he doesn’t really change at all over the course of the game. However, in that iconic scene you’ve probably heard everyone and their mother talk about, he puts forward the exact attitude I’m talking about here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have.” Keep moving forward, never turn back.
Shadow views G.U.N. as a viable method of carrying out his goals — helping people — at the time of ‘06. 
I think this makes sense. If the organization has been reformed since the days of the raid on the ARK, then it’s probably one of the best resources for Shadow to use. Additionally, from within the organization he is far more aware of what they are doing, giving him advance warning if something nefarious is going on within such a powerful paramilitary establishment. 
By letting go of his hatred, he can work for the organization that killed Maria. After all, he saved the whole world when he was originally intent on wiping out humanity. If he can do that, I think he can probably work with an organization that only recently changed its mind about him.
