SORRY FOR USING THE NEWS MEME I DIDN'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET YA'LLS ATTENTION!

Okay so this post is for Artists that are trying to save some money while vending at conventions.

A few cons that I've gone to have been charging extra for wifi access. (Extra costs?! In THIS economy??) This has lead to some artists/vendors paying the extra cost to use said wifi, or to use their phones as a hotspot (your phone bill!! nooo!!!) or having to switch to cash only (you might lose on sales! also having to do MORE math? plus the trips to the bank to get change?? 😭).

May I present to you: Library Hotspots!

This, of course, hinges on your local library having said service. Luckily, a good chunk of them do! Check your local library if they have hotspots to borrow. If they don't- ask them wtf why not? (DON'T ACTUALLY DO THAT. Write them a nice email saying you're a patron that is interested in this service. That will show their administration that they should invest in hotspots).

Okay so you've checked your library's website and it DOES have hotspots you can borrow- what now? Check the policy for borrowing their hotspots! They often let you know how long you can borrow the hotspot for AND you might be able to request one through an online form. (Listen I get phone anxiety so this is a bonus for me). Now all you have to do is wait to get a notification to pick up your hotspot, pick it up, test it out with your vending equipment (important step!), take it with you to your next convention/vendor event, use it, and finally bring it back to the library once you're done!

okay okay okay so those were a lot of steps. BUT! would you rather be saddled with unexpected costs of having to pay for convention wifi? I sure wouldn't with how expensive everything is already 😭

You might be thinking: "Weirdo-Librarian, why are you telling me this? What do you get out of this?" Well-

METAL SONIC X CHAOS ZERO!!!

IN ALL THE CHARTS I COULD FIND!!

Some of the charts got repetitive, so i cropped it.

NOTES: there may be someee minor inconsitences as sometimes id change mind my across one chart to another.

If you want an expliantion for ANY of my choices here, please ask! I am starving for conversation about this relationship- so please please please ask my questions- or just tell me your own ideas! Idk! Communicate! Your words and thoughts are not dumb!! They are very important to me and must be shared!!!

Also, some more of my thoughts + notes after the cut:

-----------

I think my favorite charts are the first two, since the first one was pretty thourghough and easy to get whilst also including intresting and unique questions to the relatio ship dynamic. the second one i added a bit of character interaction so its really cute, and thats practically why i like.

---

I particularly like the touch chart, as i really had to consider wthe physicality of these two, and the custom model was fun to make (look they're even holding hands haha). It was a bit tricky considering i had to figure out what touches where welcomed and what weren't based on previous canonical interactions, and my own theories/speculations.

---

Oh, to explian the "lends clothes" and "borrows/steals clothes", i always found the neat detail of Neo Metal Sonic's wardrobe possesing a kind of.. arm warmer/bell sleeve? As well as its pants(?) Being a bell bottom.

Without the belt/butt cape, it does make metal sonics limbs somehwhat resemble the sillouette of Chaos' body, so obviously- i just figured that Chaos, if he were to wear any clothing, would probably be stolen by Metal Sonic since it already seems to be fond of that particular look that Chaos naturally has.

--

Oh, and Metal and Chaos being somewhat organized is due to thier jobs and enviornment they grew up in. Eggman, being the opposite of Sonics carefree, chaotic attitude, would likely prefer more cleaner, organized or "controlled" enviornments. Thus, i feel that Metal Sonic may have picked up a few tidying or cleaning habits that were a cause of eggman simply teaching or implimenting features in his bots to prefer the "clean up" of "dirty" or "messy" areas.

For chaos, i do recall reading something (perhaps on the chao wiki) of him purifying the Altars water and keeping it relatively clean from debries and such. Furthermore, having to be sole guardian of little children chao, the altar and the master emerald, requires a lot of responsibility and- if anyone has worked with children before- it can get very messy very quickly. So its mere speculation, but i do think Chaos would have picked up many cleaning habits as well, as well as cooking/harvesting skills due to him having to take care of large batches of critters.

Surprisingly, for a creature named "Chaos", the name only truely applies to the singular instance in which he is "Final Chaos" (as thats likely what the echidnas called him during and after that time.) Turns out, Chaos is way more controlled and responsible than chaotic and carefree.

So to segway, out of the two, Metal Sonic would be way more chaotic considering its nack for stirring up trouble (CD, Sonic Heroes, Chaotix.. ect) for the heroes, as well as it not really having major responsibilites outside of its purpose to "destroy sonic" and occasionally obey whatever task eggman requires of it.

Thus, is why in the driving promps, i title it "a speeder".

---

To explain the "Cognito Egro Sum" (aka. I think therefore i am) and the "infinty symbol" for the ages, er.. Metal sonic is a robot, and Chaos is an immortal being. If your being technical with it, you can say they're both relatively young, considering Chaos chao can't age and are often stuck in the form they were hatched in- despite the fact that chao do infact change as they age-

One can consider the idea that Chaos, for all intensive purposes, looks and probably is pretty young- if we apply chao logic to him.

Though one will argue "but Chaos is ancient" which is true, but his case is similar to Shadow's as he was trapped in that Master emerald for... millions of years............. so, similarly to how shadow was stuck for 50 years yet remains a teenager both inside and out, Chaos- for whatever age he was before he got trapped, probably still thinks and acts like that, as well as Tikal. Except now they probably need a LOT of therapy.

^hence why i put chaos's sleeping habits as "sleeps poorly" and "sleeps to little". In hindsight, being trapped in a emerald for thousands of years, with your freind of who's father killed your entire* family and burned your house (altar) down and tried to steal your most precious item (master emerald) and being the girl whos stuck with your freind(?) who killed your entire bloodline and basically genocided your entire community- stuck with him for THOUSANDS OF YEARS- is.....is going to require a lot of therapy.

So y'know, bad sleeping problems. Also probably why i depict Chaos hugging a lot + being affectionate, since being deprived your community that is entirely reliant on the concept of "caring, loving, and nurturing one another" (cause.. the opposite of that means chao will basically die upon reincarnation), for thousands of years is... a good recipe for touch starvation and a need for attention.

^hence why chaos is also on the attention side of some charts.

----

^ just conintuing off of that previous statement, i did move Chaos closer towards "extrovert" in the "extrovert or introvert" prompts, as since Chaos, unlike Metal Sonic, deals closely with many chao, and often is surrounded by a crowd of them, i do believe that Chaos would have to atleast gain some energy from social interaction in order to surivive that every day, without burning out.

----

The whole "who talks more" thing is kind of funny because, technically, its metal sonic (see Sonic Heroes + Sonic Free riders) who has more lines than.. Chaos's total of zero!

Meaning that, if anything, the "he said no pickles" meme would probably mean that Metal Sonic would be at the counter whilst Chaos is sitting in the back.

Though, compared to MANY other characters, these two are practically dead-silent, and would most likely rely on non-verbal ways of affection than verbal.

---

Oh and the "ethical v. Immoral thing" where i emphasized that chaos was "neutral" was because by compsring him to "chaos chao", theres a dark side, good guy side, and then neutral. Considering Chaos's history of amazingly goodwilled to horrendously incidous, one can conclude that he practically in the middle in terms of ethics or morality.

Metal sonic is definetly on the more immoral side, though i wouldnt put it all the way, as i do have considering enviornmental aspects to its behavior (such as well.. being a badnik, and being constantly exposed to eggman's immoral behaviors). So, other than like, unnesecarily abusing animal freinds in CD, and throwing a ship probably full of people at sonic (Sonic heroes) there aren't many instances in which Metal Sonic does something completely immoral and unjust- without any context regarding eggman ordering it too, or simply it just doing its job as a badnik.

However those actions are prettt bad on its own- though compared to... killing out an entire species... drowning thousands of people in a city and attempting to kill eggman with a giant laserbeam... and to whatever hyjinks eggman gets up too...

Its actions seem.. relatively small (though not obsolete.)

So like, theres not going to be many issues regarding "metal sonics gotta be a good guy"/ "i can fix him🥺" mentalities, since its kind of hard to do that, when you have a kill count of a 100+ whilst Metal Sonic is still on the "i'm needlessly harming animals, and threw a boat"...

Then again, i like to think the leiniency allows for them to work on themselves together, rather than tear eachother down or hate eachothers guts.

Transgender - both for my headcannnon, but also a refrence to it literally going "i transformed myself with my own hands" and well, i cant resist a pun/play on words now can i?

Agender- chaos dont have.. genders.

However, i thought this would change when introduced to concept of feminine and masculine models of the ancients in frontiers, but looking at Chaos, he doesnt resemble either one very much (tbh, in Sonic Forces, his model actually looks more akin to the fem version, than the pointy and sharp masc ones) and looks more akin to that of the children, if anything.

Plus, being masculine or feminine isnt really and indicator of gender anyways.. so like..???

So what? Does Chaos, gender? NOPE! Chaos isn't an ancient (thats his ancestor) and is a mutated chao. Chaos are genderless, or atleast out of that particular binary.

If Tikal showed up one day and started calling Chaos a "he/him", its likely that Chaos could've just.. adopted that. Assigned pronouns by random. Amazing.

So agender, as i can't think of anything else.

---

Sexuality -idk. Look, i dont consider whomth one likes. The knowledge of my characters, or other characters sexualites comes upon me in the way preists suddenly hear the words of their gods.

I dunno, until suddenly i know. Thats just how it is.

---

Ending it here cause im hungrt and cant think of anything else to chat on.

Bellflower and Allie being cute

EDIT: How could I forget Allie’s favorite bug plush! I also changed Allie’s feet because they were broken and reversed. Also changed the color of Bellflower’s shorts but that’s the minor detail I decided at last minute. Also than you ALL for the love you have given this work!!!

Just @dollpuppets oc Allie Sweetie and my Bellflower Bat doing the blep at each other cutely. Belle loves Allie like a nephew(even a son) and she’s so happy he’s not afraid of her. Also I decided Bellflower’s wings needed fluff, at least the back of them. Hope I did Allie right @dollpuppets and I hope everybody enjoys this cute lil’ picture.

Welcome Home @partycoffin

[sunset-peril]

Okay, I dunno if you've thought of a scene where Rhoam really & truly apologizes to Zelda for everything.

However, & I am so sorry for any possible future changes this may cause, but I just saw this as a remarkably fitting thing for him to do.

It's something I just made up.

The act of Iðrandikrjúpa or kneeling penance. A Hyrulean custom adapted from a tradition of Hebran origin is the act of sitting on one's knees, bowing your head & holding out the hand with the palm up. And, originally, in the hand would be offered some sort of item that acts to represent their relationship. Often, something that both treasured.

This is an expression of deep humility & apology. A sort of show of prostration in an endeavor to demonstrate ultimate contrition. The Hebran equivalent to the Sheikan Dogeza when used to express deep apology.

The lowered position & bowed head shows submission & contrition. (Note that looking up or lifting the head during this time is seen as a sign of being ingenuine. And looking the one that you are apologizing to in the eye is considered even more so & is even  thought to be a sign of challenge.)

The extension of the hand palm up is a sign of one's desire for penance.

If the one being apologized to places their hand in the prostrator's, it is a signal of willingness to hear them out. Those with genuine regret will then proceed to either lay their forehead upon their hand or kiss it. Many who are truly wrecked with grief for their actions will also likely begin crying.

But it is the offered item that is the clearest tell of one's genuineness. Because it is saying, "I am unworthy for what I have done to you & I offer it to you as a show that I understand this."

Though, in the case of a parent having behaved unforgivably towards one's child, it is instead seen as more sincere to offer something that they consider symbolic of their role as their parent. This sends the message that they acknowledge that they are unworthy of that sacred role. For that is what parenthood is seen as in Hebra: a sacred honor. For, to raise a child is to raise the future.

To breach that is seen as one of the greatest dishonors you can commit. No one hates a deadbeat or abusive parent quite so vitriolically as a Hebran. They are also known for their senses & recognition of accountability.

However, acknowledgment of one’s own actions, especially to the one that it was perpetrated against, is seen as a show of willingness to change.

However, it is also seen as well within the victim’s right to deny it. If they were to yell, scream, spit upon them, slap the offered hand away, or even strike them about the face. Anything short of outright beating or killing them is considered their right.

At the same time, the victim could also take the symbol from them, they could tell them to speak, or in truly rare cases, they could simply roll the prostrator’s hand back up around the symbol as a sign that whatever was done has already been forgiven.

But, placing the hand upon the prostrator’s own is a show of willingness to both forgive as well as understand & listen. It takes a very mature person to do such, especially when they’ve been hurt to such an extent that this act of prostration is seen as necessary in the first place.

Especially if it was the perpetrator's own choice to do so.

Anyway, upon receiving such a signal, the perpetrator is allowed to speak, but is expected to keep their head down while doing so.

Within Hyrulean society, heads of the family or those in positions of power will often use a symbol of said position in that hand, as though offering it. As if to say that they are unworthy of that position. Those who wear some sort of hat or headdress as part of said position will also remove it & clutch it to one’s stomach.

In the case of a king who has emotionally abused his daughter, true self-contrition would be shown in the producing of the abovementioned item symbolic of his position as her father (such as a gift she gave him long ago that he treasures or something he took from her) then removing his crown & placing it at her feet.

This isn't something to be performed in front of a large audience, but more so an inner circle. Particularly, before those aware of the transgression in question & who aren't likely to just automatically forgive the perpetrator.

It is also not something that is performed often.

Again, I'm sorry. I was just reading your Trial of the Zora Armor & I got into it because I know it's all for Zel's sake & I just thought how could Rhoam demonstrate how truly repentant he is? How could he show her that he loves her more than anything & hated what he was doing without it feeling fake?

My mind went, "by owning up to his behavior & humbling himself in a way that she can't reason herself into thinking that it was untrue."

Once more, apologies.

So sorry to answer this a few days later, I wanted to make sure I had all the possible brain cells (and undivided time) for you!

I actually have not! I knew one would be necessary, but I never came up with an apology of that true magnitude.

Ooo! Ooo! The item in Rhoam's hand could be the little Guardian trinket from Age of Calamity (if I remember correctly, he does present it palm up to her in the Temple of Time, but not while bowing) in that realm of things! I don't know if that specific trinket could work in BotW (if they were able to have this moment before everything fell apart, I haven't mapped that much detail on it), but perhaps Original Terrako could work!

No, no it's all good! The fact that you came up for something so cool and precious while reading something of mine. It makes my night! I definitely would love to integrate this into the AoC timeline of HFS regardless of whether I can fit it (in some way) into the BotW timeline of things :3

It's wonderful!!
