#back to your regularly scheduled reblogging

[team-chaotix-week]

And that's a wrap on Team Chaotix Week 2025!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, be it as a creator or a spectator!

This was my first time running an event, so thank you for all your kind words. You all made this a great week!

What comes next?

First, I'm going to count up all the submissions for a quick data analysis as well issue the feedback form. After which I'll make a post with the badges and completionists and whatnot (this might take a day or two, bare with me), and clean up/reorganise some of the tags.

Then, it's back to your regularly queued/scheduled Chaotix posts! I'll be lowering the queue to 2 posts a day, plus 2 that will be reblogged chaotix week entries, as well as 1 comic screenshot. After all the tcw prompts have been re-reblogged, the queue will remain at 2, plus 1 comic screenshot.

However, I've had such a blast running this event that I've decided to run another! Now introducing: @unbreakble-bond-week!

This event will be all about Sonic and Tails, running from november 21st to november 27th 2025. If interested please check out this interest post!

Thanks again to eveyone! Hope to see some of you again next May for Team Chaotix Week 2026!

You've all been absolutely fantastic!

FUCK YEAH BITCHES

[captainsparklefingers]

It's always interesting when an old hyperfixation reemerges and hits you like a truck and drags you back into it, especially when the other currently active fixations don't go away but sort of just get shuffled around.

Like. I'm still working on Unhappy Families, and I've started to feel the flow coming back (not for 1947, unfortunately, THAT chapter still refuses to cooperate)...but suddenly the Sonic movie comes out and beats me with the 'youve liked this since you were 11 and now youre gonna feel things again whether you want to or not' hammer. And the flow is now split between the thing I want to/should work on...and a stupid dumb au idea that I shouldn't do anything with but can't stop thinking about.

So, to get it out of my system, let me tell y'all about my Maria Robotnik lives au, where a tragic lab accident does what it does in comics instead of in real life (aka: so now you have superpowers and a dash of Captain America-esque 'man outta time' vibes).

Lemme go ahead and shove this under a cut and get this out of my head for now. It's 1230 in the morning, my cat is draped all over me like a fuzzy heated weighted blanket, I can't sleep, my brain is going weird places, let's roll with it.

Spoilers for the Sonic movies (particularly the 3rd one).

OKAY SO.

We don't see what actually killed Maria in the movie. I mean, yes, it's the explosion of chaos energy caused by an errant shot, but the specific thing that kills her isn't shown. Could be a blow to the head or traumatic internal injuries, nothing good, but nothing as direct and obvious as a shot to the back like in the games.

And many a fictional individual has been 'blessed' with superpowers following a lab accident or exposure to radiation/mysterious energies/etc. I think you can see where I'm going with this. I mean this is a world with alien hedgehogs, teleportation rings, chaos emeralds, I think one can be allowed a little wiggle room in the name of an au here.

SO. Boom. Explosion. Maria appears dead, her family is devastated and the seeds of revenge are planted,Gerald is carted off, Shadow is put into cryo, all that.

Maria's body is taken by GUN (presumably alongside those of anyone else who died), probably put in a morgue somewhere...aaand that's where she wakes up, screaming, unleashing a wave of Chaos energy that shorts out all electronics in the area, and promptly passes out again.

So. GUN is now in possession of a preteen girl who should be dead, WAS apparently dead, who was exposed to something they were studying and couldn't understand/found too dangerous to mess with, who now appears to have strange abilities that both have kept her alive, given her superpowers, and also seem to (at the moment) be physically taxing to the point of not being able to maintain consciousness for long periods of time.

SO LET'S STICK THE UNSTABLE SUPERPOWERED GIRL INTO CRYO TOO, because that seems to be the standard MO at GUN for these sorts of things at the time. Walters, having been the one who made the call to put Shadow under, is given clearance here as well, as somebody who knew Maria before everything went horribly wrong. And maybe he feels guilty and responsible that this girl is going through this, because of the organization he works for, because he wasn't able to stop those men from pointing weapons at children with intent to fire. So, he lets her out every so often, giving her a chance to physically stabilize, to get an idea of what's been done and what she can do, and to let her know that she hasn't been forgotten.

(of course nobody tells her grandfather about this because why would they, this is all classified and he's a dangerous criminal element now.)

Maybe her memories of what happened are fuzzy. Years in and out of cryosleep following a comic book esque tragic origin story might do that to you. Maybe she's not fully aware of how long it's been, or the fact that she doesn't appear to be aging normally (is it the cryo sleep or the superpowers? Idk. Ask Steve Rogers, it was both with him ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯).

Anyway. Records slip through the cracks, particularly after information about Robotnik is purged by the government post first Sonic movie. And with her being more physically stable and having ways to channel this energy now (let's continue the family theme of science and robots here and make her a bit of a technomancer with machine buddies and robots she communicates with and channels power through, or something along those lines), her scheduled return to cryo sleep gets put off, and put off...

So we have a girl out of time literal computer wizard who's body can only handle so much of the energy it has going through it at once before exhausting her (it's not the same as having a terminal illness, obviously, but it'd be at least something to call back to the game character a bit), who's got patches in her memories, has (to her knowledge) lost her family and doesn't have anyone, who's whole existence is a bit of a cover-up to hide a civilian casualty...

Aaaaaand that's all I have right now. I'm trying to figure out what the best way to get her out of GUN would be while also not having her and Shadow cross paths/know about the other for a good long time (because I enjoy the angst of thinking your closest friend is long dead or gone and having to live on). I'm sure I'll figure out something, there was enough chaos caused by the events of the third movie that I could see her using it as a chance to break herself out.

I dunno. Maybe she ends up with Agent Stone for a bit since they've both lost somebody important. That could be fun. I'm sure there'd be some sort of dramatic reunion or something eventually, but that's all I have for now.

It really isn't much, and I don't want to take away from the impact her death had on Shadow or the importance of it to the story, but at the same time, I'm sort of enamored with this idea of this tween from the 70s who does computer magic and has exhaustion and pain who's trying to find a place in a world that literally forgot her and buried her 50 years ago.

(and maybe I want Stone to have a friend, too, after everything.)

(and maybe some dramatic meetings and reunions too, someday.)

I can't wait to have kids someday!! You mean I get to hold this entire human in my arms and give them the entire world? You mean I get to show them the wonders of living, tell them that they are my wonder of living until I'm blue in the face, and teach them to love themself like I do??

[hepbaestus]

I miss my hometown sometimes.

More than I thought I would.

If only it wasn't an actual trip through hell to get there but that's what happens when you live in a large city in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.

[spow-ed]

Sorry guys went on an Arbuckle streak

It will happen again probably

[peepthatbish]

Thank you to anyone who found humor in... whatever construction of words my brain made while reading the FS manga. I hope I didn't spoiler anyone who didn't wish to be spoilered. If I did... I'm sorry

I will never emotionally recover from the ride that those hyperactive 5 kiddos took me on. Holy shit

Anyway, doubt anyone will read this, but I'm truly sorry if someone got spoilered who didn't wanna.

[otinytwigso]

I hope I'm not just a lighthearted mutual but also a little fella who's on the verge of losing their mind to you

[ciceroandthelistener]

like yeah i know my blog is 95% bullshit at this point with occasional oc stuff but im usually just trying to not give up having interests and just become the most bland person ever

When I find myself longing,

its not for days gone by.

its not for time ive spent and want returned.

its not for a golden time passed that i want prolonging.

i want things to have already been done. My

dreams to have been finished and my life to be affirmed.

i want food to have already been made,

the plan for my life to have already been laid.

i want to have already lived a good life,

to look back and smile at past strife.

i want the peace that comes with retirement,

but for living and working not to be its requirement

when i find myself longing.

i long for a way to enjoy the process,

a way to achieve what i want without hating the journey.

i long for a way to live that doesn't increase my self wronging.

i long to enjoy my actions, my progress;

i want to feel like i can make it to the end without a gurney.

life moves fast and it is unfair,

i often wish it were simpler.

i find myself loosing hair

and begging god for anything less sinister.

but life goes on and i get myself stuck

wondering what life could be like if it didnt suck.

if every verse ended with a rhyme,

wouldnt that be nice?

its the good things i don't have yet

and what i cant for some time get.

when i find myself longing.

Girl… tumblr tags. Ur not complaining about a space, you’re complaining about tumblr tags. Pls go outside

i for one would Love to see bi lesbians go outside and ask literally anyone if lesbians can be attracted to men, or go into irl lesbian spaces, that'd be pretty funny tbh

also online is also a space. what if i don't have any actual lesbian spaces near me? fuck me for going online then ig

[kingkilometer]

Just remembered that instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour last night I made a tier list ranking every male pokemon npc based on how divorced I think they are. This is a catastrophic discourse waiting to happen

[frostypik]

rant under cut ig

pissed because i want a platform to vent and dump thoughts , but none of them ever feel right it always makes me anxious. or just don’t do what i need it to.

i really liked the vent app tbh because it was so easy for people to express support without having to actually respond and also i loved the aesthetics of it….but i went to redownload it and i guess it got shut down :< ?

i don’t feel comfortable talking to my friends about my issues because i feel like i have to hold back because i don’t want to Display Symptoms of my illness. i hate being vulnerable or sharing any more information about myself than necessary because i get scared of proximity these days and trusting anyone it’s just really hard to get close and i end up putting up walls , i don’t feel like i’m properly friends with anyone and it disturbs me anytime i interact so i just can’t be on a personal level of friendship with people i care about or want to be close to

it sucks because it’s causing me a lot of emotional damage i feel lonely so much and i can never keep myself straight , anytime i go to therapy i never know what to say about what’s bothering me because i never acknowledge it in any physical/tangible form or talk to anyone about it i just try to ignore it
