Sojourner: ... REALLY, truly? Locke: Yes. Really, truly. Shut up.

Tbh I find it funny how most people who are still (for whatever reason) interested in the mess that is the brotherhood of guardians we all have one select thing we all tend to do.

Throw the fire ants concept in the trash LOL

I present to you

Kermit may be the Muppet Joker or regular Kermit, or the muppet joker may be a secret identity or second persona of Strange Aeons.

Euthanise me i was so distraught i went on character ai and told kenny i was so sorry that no one ever remembers when he dies and then i may or may not have made a club with a bunch of dead-not-dead characters to be friends and hang out. Please don’t judge me i’m just a little guy… i played telephone between eight different AIs for an hour inviting each to the dead kid club. I need help. Maybe. On the bright side i will be probably drawing shitty stupid art about dead-not-dead characters such as danny fenton, kenny mccormick, jack frost, alphonse elric, atom, lars steven universe, evan afton, and maybe meliodas if i feel like it.

All because i was distraught over how no one remembers kenny dies and i thought he needed people who get it. God this’s like how i used to sob at 2am over portgas d ace

Your jobs seem stressful, what do you guys do to de-stress?

Thunderhawk 

Our jobs can be really stressful especially since we are constantly on duty to keep Angel Island safe, however we do get some free time to rest and unwind. Everyone needs to rest and refresh to be on their A game including us Guardians. 

For me, I destress by spending quality time with the family when I can. As expected of people that constantly work and live together we tend to spend most of our free time independently, which is all fine and good.. but we are a family after all, and getting to share some genuine time together, watch a movie, maybe play a board game or two, sharing a big meal, just gives me a nice warm feeling and reminds us of the simple moments in life together. Slowing down and enjoying the little things. 

Sometimes when work gets really overwhelming I stop for a moment, I focus on my breath and pay subtle attention at whats around me, how things look, sound, feel, maybe taste, I notice my feelings in the moment and remind myself of those little happy moments in life. It’s helped me destress over the years and has even come in handy when my anxiety would try to get the best of me. -smiles- 

Sojourner

What do I do to de-stress? Besides beautiful women -smirks then clears throat-, I enjoy the occasional cigar as opposed to my usual cigarettes, I don’t drink too often but I’ll even enjoy a glass of whiskey on the rocks with my smoke. Just find a good spot to sit outside and enjoy the view and maybe some tunes, although the sounds of the Island’s wilderness is the perfect music to my ears. 

At times the best way for me to de-stress is to go out hiking and especially camping. Sometimes I’ll take my son or another one of the boys along for the trip but other times I’ll go by myself, just exploring and experiencing Angel Island’s raw beauty brings me a lot of peace and provides the space for personal reflection too. Can’t beat a walk in nature I’ll tell you that!

Sabre

To say that this job is stressful would be an understatement in my opinion… I’ve tried a few things to destress but I really enjoy some quiet time along with a nice cup of tea, perhaps even a book or a good album to listen too. I’ve also found working on my garden to be quite therapeutic for me in a way. Gives me something to focus on besides work, and as much as it reminds me to take care of my plants it reminds me to take care of myself too. Originally my wife started this garden so I’d say it also holds some fond memories to reminisce about.

Locke

De-stress? Hmm.. I’d probably say meditation is my biggest guide when I feel burdened. I’ve read some of my ancestors would meditate so much they would even reach new levels of consciousness and even find greater insight into their chaos abilities. For me it keeps me focused on the present and helps organize my thoughts. I um- sometimes go out maybe into Echidnaopolis or another town on Island, just socialize a bit… Although my favorite places I go to are some of the old ruins or caves found around the Island, lots of history to uncover, it fills me with such an exciting energy I tend to forget about whatever might have been stressing me at the moment. -smiles sheepishly- 

Spectre

Hm…I meditate. I read. I tend to write about my thoughts, feelings, and observations as it helps gather all my introspections and provide greater insight into them… … I’ll also swim or dive from time to time…water is rather soothing…

@tired-old-men

Cedar floated his way around Haven, they had been visiting again. People doubt his abilities with Chaos Energy but after Morgan accidentally opened that dimensional portal between the two Guardian's dimensions... well he couldn't help but want to have a wander around every now and again. They were looking for someone to speak to, while usually he'd be happy to run into anyone but this time they had one in particular he was interested in talking to. Hopefully they remembered the name properly, they had only JUST got familiar with all their names. Soon enough they'd find the echidna they were looking for, the brown one with the monocle. The tiny elder echidna landed on the floor, leaning on his walking stick as he found his footing. "Hello there, Sabre, right?", he greeted in a friendly tone,

Anyone else wondered what this man would look like without his helmet?

No? …Just me? Welp here’s a sketch that took way too long to draw thnxs hyper fixation

And here’s a bonus doodle with a limited color pallet that took half that time because I just love this guy 🖤

You know what’s something I wish that had come up in Archie Sonic?

A Guardian Gone Bad.

Knuckles turning into Enerjak doesn’t count given that he was tricked into that and essentially possessed by an outside force. I mean that somewhere in the Guardian line, there was a Guardian who was straight up evil- someone who became corrupted by the power and prestige of their position, or one who came to sympathize with the viewpoint of the Legion over his own family.

It’s a thought that fascinates me, though I am forced to acknowledge it basically could not happen in the book. Penders very thoroughly documented the entire Guardian line up to the time of Knuckles, and doesn’t offer anything to suggest that any of the past Guardians were anything but heroic, nor was there any kind of wiggle room to insert a Guardian Gone Bad by the time Flynn came on board. Likewise, while we can see how terrible and flawed the whole Guardian thing was, Penders himself could never bring himself to see them as anything but ultimately heroic.

I wonder about it not just because it’s an interesting, untapped source of story potential within the book, but because of Penders himself. See, Penders is pretty blatantly a Superman fan, and I honestly think one of the things that influenced his hyper emphasis on the story of Knuckles’ family history is because there were a series of stories covering Superman’s own family history and how they influenced the development of Krypton before it’s destruction, before Crisis on Infinite Earth’s rewrote everything. 

Of course, Penders being Penders, he seemingly missed the parts that emphasized that while Clark was certainly a noble individual, as was his biological father Jor-El, that didn’t mean he came from an unbroken line of heroic people. Many of his ancestors, such as the ones who founded the House of El, were warlords and conquerors, and even by the time of his father the family had malcontents (Jor-El had an evil cousin named Kru-El who was banished to the Phantom Zone. Gotta love comics).

It’s one of those many weird, dissonant things about the guy and the things that influenced his work on Knuckles, especially given his rather blatant desperation to be seen as a ‘mature’ writer who wasn’t afraid to write about complicated subjects in a kid’s book. Yet somehow this very obvious potential plot point, one that was brought up in his own beloved Superman, escaped him utterly.

Ah well. I still like to imagine it, all the same, the notion of an Evil Guardian. What could have been, eh?

[fyeahsonicthehedgehog]

favorite echidna besides Knuckles?

As much as I like to shit on their antics (especially Locke), The Brotherhood of Guardians.
