[hunter-burton]

Hi guys it’s been WAY TOO LONG since I’ve drawn doai have Alex with Lashes !

[moon-beam-pie]

15 questions, 15 mutuals

thanks @dearcmurphy for the tag!

1. are you named after anyone?

no, but am thinking of using a new name (Zero) which is also not named after anyone but has the added bonus of sharing with a fictional character (Star Trek Prodigy) & Gerard Way song

2. when was the last time you cried?

probably today or yesterday I cry very often, in fact I’m tearing up just thinking about the act of crying lmaoooo. don’t remember the last time I like bawled my eyes out but it would have been in the past week probs

3. do you have kids?

Noooo way I’m only 22 and very single haha; I would not be a healthy parent and no child deserves that

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

Probably, but not an excessive enough amount for me to notice it?

5. what sports do you play/have played?

I played basketball and did martial arts as a kid, but I don’t think either were to a particularly high level, although I did get invited to the black belt club at my studio (not an actual black belt but was very dedicated) - had to stop martial arts when I was about 9 due to breaking my arm a few times and them moving locations

6. what’s the first thing you notice about people?

I’m not really aware of what I notice but it’s probably vibes

7. what’s your eye color?

Hazel

8. scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings but only because I am too easily affected by scary movies I have never been able to watch thrillers or horror or even listen to scary stories on like school camps and stuff; I’d get mad nightmares and it would be all I could think about for ages - it’s so bad I couldn’t/can’t even watch buzzfeed unsolved

9. any special talents?

depends how you define it but probably nothing I can think of off the top of my head.

10. where were you born?

Melbourne, Aus. No I am not doxxing myself the city has 5 million ppl living here

11. what are your hobbies?

I don’t have anything solid other than stuff that I don’t talk about online. I guess I like drawing but even that I’m not great at and only get into occasionally

12. do you have any pets?

I have a cat! I’ve had him for about 14 years and I love him very very much. We adopted him and his mum together and they were both strays, but sadly his mum passed away in late 2020.

13. how tall are you?

176cm. I feel like this list of questions is about to ask me my mothers maiden name

14. favorite subject in school?

I loved maths and physics and chem

15. dream job?

Anything that involves acting, stage, screen, etc

Not gonna tag anyone cause anxiety but please feel free to take this as a tag if you wanna do it (actually genuinely, feel free to tag me in the post too if you want to!)

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. ( REPOST DO NOT REBLOG!)

✿ NAME: Albatross! You can call me Alba if you'd like.

✿ PRONOUNS: Any pronouns. If you have to default to something I'd prefer they/them.

✿ EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): Um, a while? Like 4 years on tumblr and 5 more off tumblr.

✿ NAME OF MUSE(S): Like the entire cast of Baccano!, plus a few special guests. Namely Yuri Briar.

✿ PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: I prefer discord over Tumblr IMs since they don't notify me very often but I can work with anything.

✿ PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: Various online games including public Minecraft servers, Quotev, Skype, and Tumblr! I do Discord rp sometimes but not very often hahaha.

✿ BEST EXPERIENCE: Oh, goodness. I mean, just writing with new people in general? I always love making friends through rp! But runner-up is definitely when people take an interest in Baccano! because of my blog. Whenever it happens I get so excited I start like actually shaking. So yk what maybe that is the first best.

✿ RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: When people don't communicate what kind of plots they want and leave all the heavy-lifting to you. I understand more so than usual with my circumstances because I know most people aren't familiar with my muses, but there's a line when it comes to the amount of setup I'm willing to do for a scenario. Plots should be a two-way street, yk?

✿ FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: I would say I like an equal amount of all three and not an excess of either. Really, I've said this in one of these I did a couple days ago, but I actually like crafting wider plots with everything involved. If I did have to rank them, though, it'd be Fluff > Angst > Smut.

✿ PLOTS OR MEMES: I like to establish plots in the long run, but memes are nice to get for shorter, more inconsequential interactions to flesh out relationships in between the larger plotted events, haha.

✿ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I get VERY long-winded, I shan't lie. It's hard for me to confine myself to a paragraph---I'd say I write around 3-4 on average, sometimes more or less depending on the muse, thread/ask, and the person I'm writing with.

✿ BEST TIME TO WRITE: Mid-day. I usually do all my drafts during downtime at work---I have a not-very-busy office job so it's easier to get things done there so I have time to do other things, like my art projects, at home.

✿ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Re: the last time I did a dash game like this---I think every muse of mine in some way has a little bit of myself added to them. But, no. I'm very unlike most of them.

Tagged by: @twiloid and @yorprincess --- thank you both for the tag!

Tagging: I know a bunch of my mutuals got something similar to this from me a couple days ago so just steal it if you haven't and want to!

im going to give the train guys 3 more siblings. im going to quintuplet the twins. why? because i was thinking “haha what if i gave them left and right in addition to their own up and down” and then i assigned colours to the new 2 (red and green) and thats go and stop and then theres the slow down yellow colour so i added a 3rd one. so quintuplets it is

wanna hear me talk about my thoughts about their 3 new brothers? you have no choice, either read this or scroll past it

#1: green light, go < specializes in triple battles (no stopping! all 3 attack at once!) < is a fan of sweeper teams. whats stalling? no need to drag on a fight if you can end it in the next couple turns < his team is a bit glass cannon-y since he put all his skill points into attack and none into defense

#2: yellow light, slow down, railroad crossing (those signs are yellow and also an x shape) = does not specialize in any particular battle (jack of all trades) or i can make him do launcher battles. i have no idea what those are, i just found out it existed 5 minutes ago = fan of sticky web galvantula + sweeper teams and trick room teams = oh oh and that 1 team where you just setup stealth rock + spikes + toxic spikes etc (maybe also with a taunt user to fuck over defog users) and then spamming roar/whirlwind type moves. maybe a shadow tag/arena trap mon too for good measure = aside from that, i imagine he also has a good amount of offense/defense to be the middle ground for greens pure offensive team and reds defensive team

#3. red light, stop. specializes in rotation battles (think your moves through. you cant hit everyone on the field) > fan of defensive stall teams, loves rest+sleep talk, wish, toxic, protect etc > probably has a baton pass user somewhere so he can pass all the buffs onto this one sweeper

as for their names, respectively its hidari (left), fumikiri (railroad crossing), and tomari (stopover/stop). couldnt name red the word for right since its migi and that doesnt fit the whole “name ends in -ri” minor theme theyve got going on. also i used excessive translation sites for this

as for their eng names, i dont actually know. ive got gou for green (cause. go) but nothing else for the other 2. either way im going to continue referring them by their colours

green and red are pretty much just opposites while yellow is their middle ground. some personality points ive thought about them so far are below

- green has 0 patience and cant stand still. he talks very very fast and gets frustrated if people cant operate on the same speed as him (and has to be reminded a lot that people dont go that fast) - vs red whos quiet a lot of the time and prefers to sign since talking too much makes his throat kind of sore(? not the right word but the closest i can think of. im like this too but my threshold for talking is a lot bigger than his) - green loves to cause chaos on purpose. a lot of complaints about the subway can probably be traced back to him. says whatever he wants on the announcements - red... honestly i was gonna make red cautious and be the one to reel green back but honestly i think its a lot funnier of red thinks greens antics are also hilarious as shit and does nothing to stop him. he watches the chaos in the background, popcorn in hand. it falls to the other siblings to stop green but green is the fastest runner out of them all (hes the fastest on purpose. he trained to be the fastest on purpose so no one else can catch him). yellow is a very close 2nd because for some reason, hes always nearby green whenever green does stupid shit so yellow learned to sprint out of necessity

as for their respective starters...hmmmmm. ghost, fire and electric types are out. yellow has a reuniclus since it has a slow speed and can setup trick room. red has a steel type since those are commonly defensive pokemon, so im thinking ferrothorn? no idea for green. wait dragon. hydreigon. green gets a hydreigon. everyone else is going “what the fuck? why is your starter a hydreigon” and green cackles

sorry while writing this i changed my mind. im no longer quintupleting the twins, im taking these 3 for myself. actually wait i can do both

Mr Madden | Madderton Teacher AU | Chapter 1

Ok SO, here’s the first chapter, I know it’s boring and short but just bear with me I didn’t want to jump straight into the action and drama because I genuinely haven’t written fanfiction since I was a teenager (I’m 22!) so I needed to familiarise myself with writing again and re-establish my writing style it’s a little bit choppy right now but I’ll get there over the next few chapters! Anyway, here goes! lowkey nervous that it’s been too long since I wrote and everyone will hate it

Taron sat in an empty classroom chewing mindlessly on the end of a pen, a stack of unmarked homework in front of him that he was already 95% sure he would be taking home with him tonight if this day didn’t get any better. Why did Drama students even need to do homework like this? They have enough homework from all the other classes, Drama should be their slice of freedom and self expression for the week, that’s how Taron saw it anyway. Of course, he could never say this aloud, he had to follow the system regardless of whether he liked it or not. After a small argument in his head about staying focused, Taron finally put pen to paper and began to write, not even writing one single letter before-

“For fuck sake,” he groaned quietly, forcing himself out of the chair and kicking it back behind him as he got up and walked to the door and around the building to the window he had just spotted it out of, another fight.

“Ok break it up lads come on,” he said sternly, not even needing to fully intervene with the wannabe hard nut year 7s. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Sorry Sir!” they both said hurriedly as they scuttled off around the corner, afraid of receiving a detention. Taron rolled his eyes and sauntered back to his classroom, not even reaching the door before deciding he needs a coffee before he can even think of marking more homework. At this thought, he veers away from the door to the drama block to head toward the main building to the teachers lounge, muttering a polite “alright” accompanied with a small nod to the students greeting him as he walked down the hallway. Said students, of course, being girls. The girls all had a thing for him and he knew it, he saw the way they all gushed at him. Little did they know. 

“Have you seen the new History teacher?” a girl in the hallway squealed to her friend as she stood leaning against the wall, phone in one hand, bright pink bedazzled water bottle in the other. Taron’s ears pricked up, new History teacher? he thought, picking up the pace to the staff room to find out what was going on. Once he arrived, he pushed the door handle and poked his head round the door before fully entering. That’s when he saw him.

New History teacher, indeed..

In front of his eyes was the most gorgeous blue eyed man he had ever seen, thick lush brown hair with just the right amount of curl, perfect body, nice legs-

“Ah, Mr Egerton! Meet Mr Madden, he’s just joined today to replace Mr Little in the History department!” the excessively perky Head Teacher exclaimed, waving rather over enthusiastically towards the blue eyed beauty.

“Richard,” he introduced, extending his hand to Taron.

Scottish, as if he wasn’t dreamy enough.

“I- nice to meet you, I’m Taron, Drama,” Taron just about spluttered out, going in for the handshake offered, looking to the floor for lack of a better place to look without dying inside a little. Taron mentally pinched himself, he knew he needed to stop feeling like this. He vowed to himself as soon as he got this job that he’d keep out of anything of this sort, the last thing he needs is the entire school finding out he’s gay, so with this in mind he generally keeps his head down and lays low. Does his job, goes home. He can’t get soft for a teacher now after he’s come this far without screwing up and letting his guard down.

“Drama? I admire your confidence,” Richard commented with a smile. Taron chuckled softly.

“Not your thing?” he asked.

“Nah, just getting in to teaching was far enough out of my confidence zone! It’s done me a lot of good though- sorry I don’t know why I’m telling you all of this,” Richard stopped himself suddenly, a bit flustered.

“No no don’t worry,” Taron assured, “coffee?” he offered, gesturing as he walked over to the small staff coffee machine to make his own.

“Yeah would love one, thanks” Richard replied. Taron grabbed an extra mug for Richard, pouring two coffees from the pot that had already been prepared by the other staff who were coming and going from the cosy staff room. Taron handed Richard a coffee and the two naturally gravitated to a pair of chairs sat by the window.

“So, History?” Taron sparked up a conversation.

“Yeah!” Richard laughed softly, habitually rubbing the back of his neck. “I just got interested in it I guess, not sure I remember how..” he began to trail off, taking a long sip of coffee, “I actually used to be interested in acting.”

“Ahh my speciality,” Taron smirked, “what happened to that?” Richard sighed heavily, taking another sip of coffee.

“Ah I just don’t have the confidence,” he admitted.

“That’s fair enough mate, takes a lot of that I have to admit,” Taron nodded slowly, “never know, maybe one day!” Richard looked down and made a small ‘hmm’ sound with a smile. The pair sat in peace finishing their coffee before Richard placed his hands on his legs and sighed, signalling that it was time for him to get going.

“First class?” Taron asked gently.

“Yeah..I’m really nervous not gonna lie,” Richard confessed, feeling his cheeks go slightly pink.

“Aw don’t worry mate you’ll be absolutely fine, first one’s the worst. Do you have another teacher there observing you?”

“I do, and I’m not sure if that’s making me feel better or worse,” Richard replied, Taron laughed and nodded in agreement.

“I’ll walk you there if you like?” he offered.

“I would actually love that I’m still finding my way around,” Richard replied gratefully, standing up to put his coffee cup in the sink and walk to his new classroom with Taron, making small talk on the way there such as ‘what are the students like?’ or ‘are the other teachers nice?’ questions which Taron had elaborate answers for but not enough time to tell all his stories about, which resulted in him awkwardly asking Richard if he would maybe want to meet up for a drink at some point so he can “tell him his many stories”. Richard quickly agreed, which actually surprised Taron.

“Great, yeah, cool, I’ll talk to you soon then and we can..you know, arrange..something,” Taron stumbled very ungracefully and not near as smoothly as he thought that would sound in his head before he said it, inwardly facepalming.

“Yeah yeah good shout, see you later,” Richard smiled warmly, disappearing into his new classroom, pretending not to be trembling ever so slightly.

Later that night

Taron was curled up at the end of his sofa, iPad in his lap ready to open Facebook to try and find Richard and have a small social media stalk just to see his face again, those big blue eyes were calling him. He racked his brain for his surname, what was he introduced as? It definitely began with an M. He began typing ‘Richard M’ hoping facebook would magically know who he was searching for, but Richard was too common of a name. 

“Mm…M…Mmm, ma?” he thought aloud before pausing suddenly, “Madden!” he sighed, rolling his eyes at his own forgetfulness. He typed in the name and found him pretty easily. Excitedly clicking on his profile and doing the obligatory flick through the profile pictures, short scroll down the feed, clicking on some pictures he’d been tagged in, asking himself if this was creepy or if everyone did it. Or both. He also mentally noted to himself to remind Richard that now he’s a teacher, changing his privacy settings would be a very smart idea, some of those students are crazy, especially for young male teachers like Richard and Taron.

Cute Taron thought to himself, zooming in on a group photo when he spotted Richard chilling in the far left of it. He came out of the picture and hovered his finger over the  ‘add friend’ button, wondering if it was too soon. At that moment, as if in some sort of cartoon or movie, the bread he had put in the toaster a few minutes ago suddenly popped up, making him jump and press the button by accident. How does that even happen? He definitely looked too eager adding him already but it was done now, no point cancelling the request in case Richard already had his phone in his hand, that would be even more weird. Taron put his iPad to the side to grab his toast, buttering it and bringing it back to the sofa, noticing his iPad light up with a message. He hurriedly sat down and ignored the toast he had just made, picking the iPad up hastily and opening the message.

1 new message: Richard Madden Richard: hey, again x

“Heh,” Taron chuckled, loving a guy that puts a single kiss at the end of a message, deciding he should reflect his message the same way.

Taron: hey you x

Taron flinched after hitting send, realising suddenly how weird that sounded.

Richard: ha, ‘you’ love that x

Taron: yea sorry wasn’t thinking haha x

Richard: no you’re fine it’s sweet! when are we going for that drink then? x

Taron: well when are you free?x

Richard’s typing bubble appeared, disappeared and reappeared quite a few times suggesting he was on the fence about his answer, a quirk which Taron found quite cute. 

Richard: ...tomorrow night?x

Taron: yep definitely up for that! How did your first day go by the way? Didn’t end up seeing you for the rest of the day x

Richard: yeah was all good definitely didn’t need to be as nervous as I was x

Taron: nice one knew you’d smash it mate! Anyway I better eat the toast that I forgot about and get to bed, bright and early for school tomorrow!x

Richard: I know right feels weird saying school tomorrow again but as a teacher now not a student, sure I’ll get used to it, night T x

“T, I like that..” Taron thought, should he nickname Richard too? It only seemed fair..

Taron: night Rich x

Taron lay his iPad down on the table for the last time that day, shovelling toast in his mouth before taking his plate to the kitchen to wash up and get settled for bed, trying to ignore the slight feeling of butterflies in his stomach every time he thought about his drink with Rich the following night, this might be a doorway into the exact thing he promised himself not to do when he started this job, but he couldn’t resist.

Because how could you love someone like me otherwise?

Tw: Self-loathing, self-deprecation, vague hint at past abuse, Sympathetic Deceit (Tell me if I missed any)!

Summary: Deceit wants hugs and affection, so he decides to morph into Joan to get Thomas to hug him.

Not my best work but it’s acceptable.

@chemically-imbalanced-romance​ @callboxkat

 This is for @blue--stopsigns. (Sorry if I missed anybody wanting to be tagged).

Deceit had never had anyone look at him without at least a trace of disgust or fear in their eyes. He’d only ever been chastised for being the liar, the dark side, the slippery snake. 

No one had ever tried to touch him without it being a punch or slap. He’d never held hands with anyone, never had someone lean their head on his shoulder.

And he couldn’t even fathom what getting a hug was like.

But oh, how he longed to.

How he longed to be comforted whenever he just couldn’t stand to look in the mirror anymore, shaking and sobbing at how disgusting he looked with those scales and forked tongue, curled up in the corner of his room crying into his yellow pajamas. 

How he longed to have movie nights with his friends and then pass out around 3 am, only to wake up hours later, movie still playing and everyone huddled together under the blanket, cuddling one another in their sleep. 

How he longed for Thomas to...accept him. To love him, and realize that, truly, not all lies are inherently bad. 

Like every other side, (mostly), Deceit loved Thomas, and tried to help him in the only way he knew how. 

But Deceit knew Thomas could never love him, never scales and all. The voices in his head told him so, every day. Every interaction. Every glance at a mirror or other reflective surface. 

He hated himself; why should anyone else think differently? 

~

One day, when Deceit was curled up in the fetal position in the corner of his room, crying, he got an idea. 

One that would not only change his day, but his life. 

It started with an innocent thought: Why couldn’t I just be Joan or Taylen? They’re both so amazing and Thomas always says he loves them! 

A sudden click could almost be heard as the wheels in Deceit’s brain began to turn. Sure, changing one’s entire form was tiring and difficult, but...the thought of Thomas telling him he loves him...

I’m doing it.

Not thinking about the consequences, Deceit started changing his features into Joan’s. Soon, he had their height, face, and wardrobe exactly right. Now to wait for a moment when Joan wasn’t there by Thomas’s side to sink in and seize his chance to be showered with adoring affection. Just thinking about it was making Deceit smile like a dummy. An idiot. A touch-starved fool. 

Because even though there was a part of him shouting not to go, not to take the risk, not to do it because he didn’t deserve affection...the rest of him desperately wanted to finally experience love. Loving and having them love you back.

Because Deceit had never had that. 

But he sure as heck wanted to start.

~

“I’m gonna go to Starbucks, want anything, Tommy bear?” Taylen said, smiling with their hand hovering over the doorknob. 

“Uh, yeah, maybe a...” Thomas thought about what he might want, “iced coffee?”

“With marshmallows?” Taylen asked with a smile 

“Of course!” Thomas replied with a eye-scrunching grin

“And rainbow sprinkles if they have any?” Joan added, getting up and headed to the door, bracing for the cold weather by pulling their beanie down over their ears

“Hecking superb you funky little non-binary friends!” Thomas said, “You guys know me so well!”

“Haha, well, be back soon friend-o spaghetti-o!” Taylen exclaimed, waving finger guns in the air and heading out the door

“Yep, see you later Thomas!” Joan said, smiling, “Love ya, man.”

“Love you too guys!” Thomas said as both people walked out 

Deceit had to wait a second before sinking in. He had already developed a decent cover story, so it wouldn’t be that hard to get affection from Thomas. He had also decided to use they/them pronouns when describing himself in his head, just to get more into character.

After the two friends drove off to get some snacks and drinks, Deceit rose right in front of the door and opened it. They tried to keep a neutral expression when Thomas looked at them, surprised but in the good, ‘I’m so glad you’re here’ way.

“Oh? Didn’t you just-” Thomas asked, but Deceit Joan interrupted

“I decided to stay here with you!” Joan smiled, walking over and sitting down next to where Thomas was sitting

“Oh! Well, okay then,” Thomas said, shrugging, “hey, do you have any new ideas for a-”

The sight of Thomas smiling at them was too much for Deceit; they couldn’t stand being this close. So even though they were scared, they went for it. 

They hugged Thomas, burying their face into Thomas’s neck. He just felt...so warm...

“Woah, pal, are you alright?” Thomas looked down at his friend, a concerned look bathing his eyes

“It’s amazing.” They whispered softly, mostly to themselves. Tears were forming in the corners of their eyes. Who knew affection could feel this...good?

There was still a part of Deceit that felt horribly guilty about the whole thing, saying he doesn’t actually love him and that tricking Thomas just makes him an even worse person. 

But it was easy to tune that voice out when Thomas hugged Deceit Joan back, and nuzzled his face into his hair a little. 

“Hey, it’s okay, Joangle,” Thomas said, “you don’t have to tell me what’s wrong now, it’s all good. Let it all out.” 

And that’s what happened. Deceit nearly forgot where he was, and that he had a limited amount of time before the actual Joan showed up. 

But he never wanted it to end. Ever. 

He was not going back to feeling empty and cold every day, he was not going back to feeling like he was less-than-worthless, and he was NOT going back to crying himself to sleep at night, wishing he was a normal person and hoping against hope that someone would start to care and love him. 

“Wow, really taking Taylen a long time, hope they’re okay...” Thomas said, Virgil causing him to worry about his friends’ safety excessively, “hey, do you have any ideas for a new sanders sides video? It’s been a while since the last one, and I think the Famders are getting antsy. They might start adopting my pants soon if they don’t get any new content.”

Deceit chuckled at the thought. And, of course, the knowledge that that was entirely plausible for them to do.

“Well, I suppose you could...” It took them a while to gather up the courage, “maybe give Deceit a bit of an arc? Because I think a lot of the fans believe he’s a bad person, and also an arc would just be a really cool thing to do.”

They tried to sound casual, like it was off the top of their head and they didn’t really care too much about the idea. But inside, they were on the edge of their seat.

“Sure!” Thomas said after a second

Deceit couldn’t be happier. If he got a chance to explain to the other sides what was happening...well, needless to say, the opportunity would be taken.

“Hey, wait...” Thomas thought for a second, “do the fans really hate him? I mean, I guess I could see how he might seem...problematic, but he isn’t that bad. He’s just an anti-hero. Helping me, but in his own way. I-”

The door opening cut off the star-shirted man’s words. Deceit nearly had a heart attack.

“Hey Thomas! We got the goods!” Taylen smiled

“Haha, yeah, we-” Joan cut them self off when they saw a person who looked exactly like them sitting on the couch next to his friend

“Joan? Not Joan?” Thomas whipped his head back and forth between the two people, “What’s going on?!”

“I don’t know?!” Taylen said, clutching the coffee cup in their hands

“Uh, I’m the real Joan!” In Deceit’s panic, he didn’t realize that he had forgotten to mask his own voice. He sounded exactly like himself; Deceit. The liar, the Villain, the Snake-Faced Freak. 

“Um...are you...Deceit?” Thomas softly spoke, not wanting to spook the crying crying? side.

“I’m, i’m,” Deceit couldn’t continue. He morphed back into his normal body. Then, as he saw everyone staring, he knew they were thinking about how absolutely hideous he looked. How could they not? 

Then he screamed:

“I’M SORRY!” And sank out as fast as he possibly could

Thomas and his friends didn’t know what to do, they just stared at each other for a second, not knowing how to proceed. 

“...still want the coffee?” Taylen asked, then added, “It’s still warm.”

~~

Deceit sprinted into his room and slammed the door, probably scaring the other dark and light sides. He didn’t care. He had already ruined everything for himself. He was never going to get anymore affection. 

No more ‘I love you’s.

No more hugs or kisses.

No more love.

Not that he deserved any in the first place.

He ran to the corner of his room, curled up into a pathetic ball of sadness and scales, and sobbed. The voices in his head were screaming now; way too much to bear for the poor Snake Face. He grabbed his pillow and held onto it for dear life, imagining it was Thomas, or Virgil, or anyone. 

Not that anyone would.

~~

“Deceit did what?!” Roman yelled, pulling his sword out a bit to prepare, “I’ll get him for what he did to you and your friends, Thomas. I swear, if he eve-”

“No.” Thomas said simply, “No, I will not allow you to do that.” Sounding a bit more like Logan, Thomas looked around at the four sides.

“Wha...what do you mean...no?” Roman asked, squinting his eyes a bit as he slowly put his sword back

“Yes, I to am very confused.” Logan added, “Are you implying that Deceit was not planning something?”

“Yes, yes I am.” Thomas put sternly, then a second later added with a sigh, “I just...you should’ve seen the fear! The sadness! And...you should’ve seen...seen how happy he was when we hugged. He was crying.”

A silence fell upon them for a minute or two.

“Yes,” Logan cleared his throat, “that is rather peculiar, however, I don’t think that’s quite enough proof to assume he had zero bad intentions.”

“Well...we could pull him up and get him here to talk to us.” Patton suggested

“Yes, that’s a great idea Patton!” Roman said, gesturing to the fatherly side with his entire arm. 

“Wait, maybe...” Virgil began, “if he was that shaken up, maybe he needs some time alo-” “Nonsense, emo!” Roman ignored Virgil, “Here comes Deceit!”

They all were taken back when they saw how Deceit looked. 

Roman gasped a bit too dramatically. Patton squeaked in fright. Logan whispered a soft ‘oh no...’. Thomas’s eyes widened. And Virgil glanced at the scaled man knowingly, as if the emo nightmare had had to go through similar things before. Even Deceit’s thoughts were silenced for a few, terror inducing and glorious seconds.

Then they came back full force.

“Uh, uh, uh,i-i-i’m s-sor-sorry, I,” Deceit couldn’t get his heart rate to calm down. He was sweating, and his brain was pounding, and he felt so, so very scared.

He was having a panic attack. 

“Dee, shh,” Virgil ran over to him and gave him a big bear hug, tightly wrapping his arms around the crying man, “it’s all going to be alright. I swear it. We’re gonna treat you better, alright? We..” The usually anxious one’s breath hitched, “we love you.”

Deceit couldn’t believe what he was hearing. It was everything he had ever wanted and more. Tons more. 

He quickly hugged the hooded man back, sobbing into his neck.

“It’s okay, Dee, it’s okay.” Virgil turned ever so slightly in the direction of the other sides and Thomas, glaring at them each, but mostly Roman, “Things will change. You won’t feel unloved anymore, I’ll...we’ll make sure of it. Right guys?”

Virgil said, sharply glaring at the others waiting for them to speak.

“Oh! Well, of course silly! I love all my kids!” A soft ‘we’re not your kids.’ could be heard off in the distance, “Sorry I neglected you for so long, kiddo. I’m just...I feel like a bad father for making you feel this way, you know?”

They looked at Patton worriedly.

“But it’s okay! Because I’m going to make things ten times better!” Patton promised, then flew into the hug, making Deceit feel ten times warmer. 

“Yes, that goes for me too, Deceit,” Logan added, “I’m sorry for what my actions might’ve caused you. Might I offer a fist-bump or high five? Sorry, hugs just aren’t-” 

Virgil yanked Logan into the hug, Logan softly accepting his fate. 

“Well, I suppose this isn’t horrible...ish.”

“Yeah, I’m so sorry. I love you too, man. I mean it.” Thomas said, joining the group hug. The loud, mean voices in Deceit’s head now were gone, leaving only the words of admiration the other sides were giving.

“Yes...I, too, would like to apologize for my behavior. I might’ve...jumped to conclusions. I’m sorry. May I hug you as well?” Roman held up his arms, and joined the hug finally after Deceit nodded ‘yes’.

Things were finally looking up for Deceit. He was finally surrounded by affection and nice words.

“I missed you!”

“You’re great at this!”

“Thanks for your help!”

“You deserve the world, my friend.”

And Deceit’s personal favorite:

“I love you.”

my sonic characters: a masterpost

I’ll add more whenever i get new info on characters and so on sakjsak

I used to have more but i gave some of them away so i dont feel like i should mention them here (even if those designs are not in use anymore)

[edit 4/20/2019 (haha) added nexus and links to character tags]

1) Saph the hedgehog

This is Saph. He’s a 18/19 year old disaster gay trans boy.

I change his shoe design literally every single time i draw him. :)

I’ll go in depth about his past later.

Saph is pretty much all over the place and forgets to be considerate of other peoples feelings sometimes. He might come off as very egoistic of self centered, but he does actually care in his own kind of way (even when its. kinda bad bc he gives off wrong signals sometimes and ends up hurting people hes close to)

He’s looked up to Sonic ever since he was small and he collects all of the Sonic comics and video games. His dream is to meet Sonic and win against him in a fight.

Shadow is his big idol in many things so he tries to be edgy sometimes or act tough but he fails miserably most of the time and makes a fool of himself; which he doesn’t really mind because he can take a lot of things with humour (sometimes too much). He also uses white eye liner to imitate shadows marks, and he dyes some parts of his fur white to make the marks he already has extend to look more like shadows.

Shadow was the person that taught him how to control his chaos powers, because he’d always just weakened himself in the past, because he is super unstable. (If it wasnt for Shadow he probably would have died by now.) Shadow also was the one that told Saph to go to Tails for help with the buckles on his wrists and the rings on his ankles. They are made of a material similar to shadows rings (tails tried his best to replicate them) so they would help keep the energy in Saph balanced. Due to his strong affiliation to Chaos Energy, he could technically even turn super; but his body would be unable to hold the immense amount of energy and begin to literally burn down to ash within a few minutes.

He is very gay and in a relationship with Ezra.

He’s on T and has not yet had top op. (his bobbies smol its all muscle >:3€ )

Old pic of him and his bf as humans uwu

2) Red the hedgehog

Red is 25/26 years old and works at GUN as special agent. Sometimes he and Rouge get drunk in her club at night and joke about tearing that organization down (or maybe they are not joking)

he’s pansexual and horny 24/7. He has a girlfriend and is in an open relationship. hes polyam if you didnt guess it askdsajh

he’s blind in the right eye and has a tattoo of a star on his chest

(here’s his gijinka because i just. hes hot. he used to be the one character that had like 30 fangirls on deviantart and each of them would comment “nosebleed” every time i uploaded)

ANYWAYS

Saph and Red. They are brothers.

*WARNING: abusive parents, transphobia, homophobia, violence

When red was a young lad and Saph was still a baby their father snapped and beat Red up with an iron bar, making him blind on his right eye. Red took Saph and ran away from home.(Their mother died at saphs birth)

They lived and still live in a city a litte farther off Empire City.

Red decided to go to an orphanage because he could not possibly take care of an infant. (granted his dad couldnt either but it seemed the best possible solution)

They lived in the orphanage for a few years, but saph very soon showed sighns of being trans and got bullied by the other kids. they would call him gay and tr*nny and kick him until he fell silent to endure his “punishment”.

Red couldn’t take it and decided to run away with Saph again. They lived on the street for a while, but Red was caught by GUN for stealing. Once they found out he had a form of chaos powers (even if weak) they decided to let him slide and hire him as Special Agent.

Red accepted this and uses the money he ears to make sure Saph has a good life. This kinda spoiled Saph a little, but he also deserved it lets be real here.

Red made sure to enable saph to get education (which he totally refuses to acknowledge and take seriously) and physical transition.

*WARNING END*

3) Ellectra “Ellie” the tenrec

[ pardon me being inconsequent with the design omg ]

Ellie is a 20 year old functional asexual demiromantic lesbian who is not interested in dumb boys and would rather talk about science with a pretty girl.

She can manipulate electricity and is called “Daughter of Zeus” by the townsfolk in her home island called Coral Island, which is located near the windsmil isles in Apotos.

She studies archeology and gaia mythology/ancient history, which makes it very convenient that she lives nearby an actual gaia temple. (She wants to be like lara croft one day)

At the 2005 black arms invasion her mother got heavily wounded when she tried to protect the town from the aliens and died from the aftermath.

Ever since then Ellie hates Shadow with a burning passion and holds him responsible, because she believed the government propaganda (provided by GUN ofc) that Shadow is One Of The Aliens. If she was ever to meet him she would be FURIOUS and ready to murder (she knows he cant die though).

She tried not to focus too much on that and just. do her cool ancient stuff.

Here are her parents Chion and... the mother i had still not found a good name for.

5) Chion the tenrec

This gentleman is 40+ years old and proud father of Ellie.

Hes also a het ace.

Chion is greek for snow (as far as google translate goes) and he was named that bc of his white nose lmao. its like a snowflake on his black body.

He doesn’t have any elemental powers, but he is naturally very strong and will punch anyone who comes close to his family. He can also use swords and is a skilled swordsman.

He inherited an olive farm from his family and he does keep it going. He makes his money selling olive products he does make himself.

6) Athena the hedgehog

Athena was the daughter of the “major” of the island that the family lived on (coral island), so she was expected to become the new major once he had to retire.

Due to the location of the island and the geographical landmarks on it, many raiders (and also eggman) have great interest in the ruins and mythological places. Athena is not one to give in easily and defended her people and the island from many intruders.

She possessed a less particular (than Ellie), but still fierce power of lightning manipulation. Having used her powers excessively, she sustained severe damage to her arms which showed as lighting shaped scars. She showed them with pride, because they meant she had fought hard to get where she was now.

She was bisexual and married to a tenrec called Chion. She was a year older than him.

The rings Ellie wears on her wrists were her mom’s.

7) Frost the snow leopard

Frost is a 15 year old demiboy who really just wants to have a good time. He hasnt really given his sexuality much thought.

He lives in a small village in Holoska; hes actually even met the werehog. Well he saw him. but he was too afraid to talk to him because holy shit its Sonic The Hedgehog!!!!!!!

He has ice powers!!!!

His insides are like -18°C and he cant eat anything that is hot. He has to eat cooked meals when they are room temperature, or even cooled down to fridge temperatures ( about 6°C).

He basically lives off ice cream and dry meat (if they get fancy food from the city he gets frozen pizza) He thinks of going to the UF for college, but he doesnt really know what he wants to do with his life yet so hes just having fun snowboarding.

8) Mitzu the Cheetah

Mitzu is 22 years old and owns a flower shop/chao garden combo where she takes care of chao, while taking care of flowers and breeding them. Her hydrokinesis powers are very helpful in that!

She loves nature and the outdoors and feeling the grass under her feet, so she doesn’t wear shoes/socks. Ever.

She generally is very free spirited and optimistic!

Shes a big sapphic but shes also okay w being single atm.

Her chao are like children to her and she loves the chao that get left in the garden as much as her own. (ppl leave their chao there when they cant watch over them anymore or if they go for a vacation and cant take them with them or smth)

9) Dan the red panda*

Dan is 17 years old and a big homo.

He has no special powers, except being able to eat and sleep more than the average person.

He’s from a very rich family, but his parents insisted in him finding a wife to like. pass down the heritage but he aint having none of that so his punk ass ran away from home to be his gay self and study art. 

He lives in a tree house a little off a small village in a more rural area in east UF, near station square. let the depression boy be happy...

10) Yoshi the siamese cat

Yoshi is a 20 year old enby kitty who wants to make the world a gayer place!

They are studying fashion design in hope to one day open their own fashion store for queer people! The clothes are made with body differences in mind and they also want to offer a free customization service to fit clothes to every single body type.

They don’t have any special powers as of now but i kinda want to give them a power that could be helpful with their goal Im still thinking about it ...

11) Joel “Spirit” the Husky

Spirit is fresh ripe 14 years old and Sonic the hedgehog is his big big idol. He wants to be JUST like him when he grows up.

It has come to my attention that he is basically the sonic universe Deku and I may or may not be planning to write a fanfiction for that...........

He doesn’t have any special offensive powers, but he has orange blood and he has the ability to read the Chaos Signature of anything he encounters. (called: Chaos Vision)

This means he will immediately know if a person he meets has super powers and he will also know what that power is. He can also guess the emotions of people because they are tied to the kind of chaos energy that surrounds a person.

12) Aurora the Husky

Spirit’s Sister!

Her name is Aurora and she also has Chaos Vision!

She was born blind, but she’s been able to see with her power, so that’s just what the world looks like to her: Darkness with many many colorful lights.

Over time through hard training she was able to perfect her vision and be able to distinguish between a lot of things and even see things that only have very little chaos energy in them!

13) Axel the Axolotl*

I don’t really have much info on them I made them pretty random one day bc i thought. hey. .... what if... axolotl sonic character.

14) Azul the cat

Azul is my sonicsona kinda. He was pmuch my persona b4 i was kin w shadow. 

He’s an edgelord and i guess he’s still technically me; or rather what i want to be. 

He’s already on T and has has top op and he does not crumble away under social anxiety like i do askjdsakjd.

15) ( UNKNWOWN) the Pangolin*

Similar to Axel I didn’t think much about him yet......  

he’s aroace and kinda goofy but he cares for his friends. He can roll up and do spin dashes and homing attacks like sonic, but he obviously doesnt have his super sonic speed.

16) Coal the hedgehog

Coal is one of the newest of my characters; but he’s also one of my oldest. 

You see, Coal is a revamp of a very old crappy fanchild i had back in like 2012.

for reference thats him

New Coal is 27 years old and a gay mess. He can turn into a cloud of smoke and control it at will. He is completely immune to physical attacks. try to stab/shoot him and u ded. hes coming for u.

he steals, but only from rich ppl. hes chaotic neutral tho bc he keeps that shit for himself safhsaljfha he generally just wants to chill and have his peace. 

he loves being an edge lord though he just wants that image for himself, even though he is kinda a softie... hes good at keeping up an act in dangerous situations though and that sometimes scares attackers off (also his powers)

Some gijinka doodles that make his age more justice than sonic style aksjfhaskj

17, 18, 19) The Crew On ARK

old bad art but i never really drew them, i did write about them in my fic about shadows past! (im excluding the black guy from the list because i didnt write him yet and i guess hes not really established yet since i got literally nothing on him)

from left to right

Nia, (that dude), Hikari, (gerald), Theodor

Nia is the daughter of a shamaran professor and a woman who owns a boulongerie in spagonia. She joined the ARK program in hope to make the world a more accepting place.

Hikari is is from an island near chun-nan (japan) and she also joined the program in hope to be able to help make a change for the better. she also enjoys biology and genetics a lot.

Theodor joined purely because of his joy in working on genetics and robotics that immitate life. He’s innitially from the GUN team but was assigned to work with Gerald.

20) Commander Jonathan Williams

old art again sorry sakjfhsakj. He is the father of the current GUN commander! He’s 52 and a total douchebag. He’s kinda mad with power and genuinely believes that putting shadow under pressure to become the ultimate and strongest weapon (stronger than an atomic bomb) was necessary to end the war that was going on at that time.

I cannot spoil too much on what happened to each of these people as it’s spoilers for my fanfic. 

If you want to know more, read here -> http://archiveofourown.org/works/10992156/chapters/24482199

21) Sidus “Nova” the black panther (and 22 Badass the Chao)

You see. The thing with nova is that i recycled him as human/demon character for a story sjkhfkafhsakj but he has shadow powers where he can use all shadows as portals into a shadow dimension that is entirely his own. he can travel through that but it makes him very tired. he likes to store capri suns in there and just take em out whenever he wants. He has a Chao called Badass (pictured below)

his new human/demon design is below

23) Blossom the horned Frog

She is new and I don’t have much info other than that she’s from a jungle area; perhaps in adabat.

She secrets a poisonous slime from her body; yet her spit has healing accelerating properties.

A gene defect lets her never lose her tail.

24) Nexus the demonic sheep hound

nexus is a demonic sheep hound mix?? idk i just didnt want to draw hooves aksfsakhfa

they can manipulate metal and bend it in any shape they want

however they cant make it float n shit like youd think of metal powers like magneto jsfhsakjf they can literally just. shape it like play-doh but with their mind

they wear those gold rings so when theyre in a pinch they can just make a bunch of cool knifes of a sword n be like SURPRISE BITCH IM NOT JUST PRETTY. IM PRETTY DEADLY!
