I think a really cool idea for sonic 3 is not only is sonic, shocked and fascinated by shadow being another hedgehog like him, but he also learns some things about hedgehogs with powers like his in general. Shadow is a creation, the ultimate life form, meant to be capable of everything you can think of. And sonic, while knows a fair amount of powers and capabilities he has, doesn’t know everything about his kind. So when he meets shadow another hedgehog, another one like him, weather it’s them fighting eachother, by themselves, or even seeing shadow fight, sonic discovers some things he didn’t even know hedgehogs could do, he thinks it’s cool and through the movie tries it himself and discovers new things he can do because of who he is. shadow not only learns from sonic, but sonic learns from shadow as well, in more ways than one.

Who would be security for the band in consonance once they get really famous? I could see Halsin or Lae'zel doing that. Also, would you feature any of the other characters?

Oh wow, never even thought that far ahead tbh 😅 I kinda tried to keep the number of characters limited, but let’s see:

Well, according to chapter one, Lae’zel went to law school (so random, ik)… so Tav could have her position in the band . So probably not lol. Maybe their legal representation down the road, who knows

Yeah, I guess Halsin fits the bill! He banters a little too easily with Shadowheart sometimes and Tav rolls her eyes a little lmao but it works out. However, another wildcard option could be Minsc. I love Minsc sm 🥹

I don’t really have plans to write much more into their future at the time, besides maybe a one shot or two (gotta do some NLS series stuff) but yeah, it’d be fun to fit the others in somehow!

I’ve had this idea in my head a bit

So uh, maybe one time Quackity noms someone before he lays down for the night and gets woken up by them freaking out. It wouldn’t be Q’s fault, it’s likely a nightmare, but his anxiety skyrockets and he releases that person immediately, feeling nothing but guilt as they shake in his hand.

They confront him quickly when they wake up and reassure him that it wasn’t him that made them panic, but Q doesn’t take it to heart.

He begins to neglect his instincts again, unwilling to put someone in the same situation. He doesn’t want to make anyone scared, especially of him and especially of the nomming thing. He already feels bad enough with the looks he still catches his fiancés giving him from time to time thanks to his first time nomming them

It almost seems like nobody is getting through to him, and everyone can tell he’s refusing to handle his instincts just by how he’s acting and how awful he looks (his eyes are pitch black at that time, since his pupils are so dilated, he’s barely remembering to eat in the instinctual haze he’s trapped in, etc.)

So Wilbur calls Phil, since he himself can’t get through to the stubborn avian. And Sapnap, worried out of his mind and also unsuccessful to get through to him, calls Bad.

The three have a very long talk, both older males doing their best to not snap at him when there’s so obviously a reason he’s not taking care of himself again. By the end of it, they’ve found out what had caused it.

I wanna say for this scenario it’s Karl that gets spooked, which makes him feel all the worse when he realizes what Quackity’s doing. He tries so hard to get through to him but he’s completely unsuccessful (I say this idea would take place in the earlier days of the au) and it makes him feel awful. Sapnap catches on to Karl’s misery on top of trying to snap Q out of it, and that’s why he finally snaps and calls Bad. He can’t keep up with both of his fiancés not mentally well, especially with one completely out of it thanks to instincts.

When Q returns home from that talk, feeling guilty for giving everyone such a scare, Karl isn’t in the house. Sapnap explains that he’d offered to store him, but because Karl was upset over what happened he didn’t want to be stored, so he went to hang out with George for a bit.

When Karl returns, the second long talk of the day is had, and they force Quackity to promise he won’t push his instincts off thanks to guilt again. The whole situation could have been avoided if he hadn’t been so stubborn, and they make sure he knows that.

Wilbur demands a similar promise the first time they meet up again, unknowing of the fact that the first time they see each other since the intervention he’s got both fiancés tucked away while he works, just for the fact that he himself developed nightmares from the incident and he’d woken up from one of them that morning.

All I know is he’s trying to go west but doesn’t have any travel companions yet. Hopefully the narrative will provide.

I think there is too much water. We should put some of it somewhere else.

what is soooo crazy is that if i didn’t keep saying “oh i loved it here but living abroad makes me feel really nervous for reasons i can’t really figure out how to articulate !” i WOULD have a job. but instead i have to do the indeed linkedin misery thing. that’s so silly

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

I'm playing around with the idea that constantly not being able to be productive is a sign of needing rest in the same way that constantly thinking about food is a sign of being hungry. as someone who sucks at interpreting my body's signals (and as someone who has a lot of difficulty around feeling lazy all the time!) it can be really hard to know what "tired enough to take a break" looks like. and I think if my brain keeps wandering towards restful activities instead of "productive" activities, that might be a pretty big signal that I need to take a rest

when I first started following the rule that thinking about food = hunger, I felt like I was eating way too much food all the time, and that I maybe shouldn't be listening to my body, but that's evened out over time. it turns out I was just starving myself for a really long time, and my body needed a lot of food!

and I wonder if the same could be true with rest. it feels like I need an absurd amount of rest at the moment, and it's been really really difficult to convince myself that I actually need the rest, and that I'm not just some kind of lazy slob. but you know what? maybe I NEED that rest! maybe I've been working myself to the bone lately, and maybe it'll take a while before I can be Properly Productive again. and that's something I'll just have to be okay with while I figure out what resting enough looks like for me

OH SHIT WAIT (ok so this ended up being way longer than I thought it would be so please bear with me)

“Within these rings was bound the strength and will of each race” presumably, given the context, this means that the rings controlled not only those who wore the rings, but also the entire race of people those rings were gifted to.

“A secret master ring to control all the others” this ring controls the other rings and if the others control their races, the master ring would then control the race each ring is tied to.

Now, do we notice anything special about who the rings were gifted to? If you said no rings for the hobbits, you would be correct! Perhaps Sauron didn’t know of the existence of hobbits, or perhaps he simply believed they weren’t important enough to rule, but either way the race of the hobbits did not fall under the control of the rings the way the others did.

So maybe the reason that every hobbit we see with the ring has at least some resistance to it (Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, I’ve never heard of Merry or Pippin having any temptation to take the ring at all, and I think I heard somewhere that it took time before Sméagol (gollum) fell under the full effect of the ring) is because the hobbits were never under the full influence of what I’ll call the “connecting” rings. The rings Sauron gifted reach race essentially connected the master ring to each race. Now while the master ring had tremendous power and was able to affect hobbits to a degree, maybe the absence of the connecting rings is why it was never able to immediately pull the hobbits under its thrall the way it could with the other races.

The connecting rings put each race under the control of those rings, and those rings (and thereby the races they were connected to) were all controlled by the One Ring. So the hobbits weren’t controlled by connecting rings, which means that the One Ring didn’t have the same direct access that it did with the other races, so it had to work harder to control them and the hobbits had an automatic resistance.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it.

had the stray urge to design the gavin parents. what if kristoph was their favorite what then ...

cw: car crash mention below

thinking abt the "all gavins are terribly nearsighted" headcanon of mine. in my mind, the gavins have no concrete backstory bc i ain't got brain space for that pftt

but. i think they're similar to the skyes in which they lost their parents when they were still young. in a car accident where kristoph and klavier were the only ones who survived.

with klavier fast asleep.

kristoph was 17 and klavier was 9.

i am a "kristoph raised klavier by himself" truther bc of the [waves hands] implications of all that like wow!

(having to become a parent for your little brother the growing resentment of having to be the parent of your little brother but he's your little brother. you must remember that he's your little br

ANYWAYS , what if kristoph was their parent's favorite. like klavier was the happy precocious kid during family reunions yes, but what if bright, brilliant, and promising kristoph was their favorite. have you ever thought about th

You know, I would love it if we get to see shadows medical failure guilt expanded on, it makes sense he would have a lot , he has a lot of deadly, raging guilt inside of him, survivors guilt, creation guilt, the guilt of past mistakes that almost destroyed entire planets ect, and the guilt of failing someone you were medically responsible for. I want too see that guilt of failure expanded on, Shadow is the ultimate cure, he sees himself as a tool, a weapon, a twisted distortion of a miracle for someone else, a creation to surpass all else for no one but his friend, pushing himself through endless tests, doing anything he was told to do for the sake of his only friend, his best friend, the only true friend he’d know for a long time. The weight of pressure and anxiety crushing him out of fear of failing Maria , not being able to save her from the conditions she faced, not being able to cure her, not living up to the only worth he was created to have. I want to see that expanded on , I want to see how absolutely crushing that guilt of failure is, during their time on the Ark, and the awful , doubled up guilt of the aftermath , the guilt of it all rooted in his most familiar failure. its a important part of his story, and I for one would love to see it expanded on .

i know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but i'm doing research for a meta, and i'm slowly realizing that i will never ever be over the Good Omens Lockdown dialogue. especially that line towards the end (begins at the 02:50 minute mark):

Crowley: [...] You know, I could hunker down at your place; slither over and watch you eat cake. I could bring a bottle—a case—of something...drinkable?

first, the unabashed expression of a desire to be near Aziraphale is so rarely evident (i mean, we have 1967 and other instances, but in the case of '67, an outsider could more easily—i guess??—interpret offering him a lift home as an expression of gratitude for the holy water). so, to witness his clear, unveiled desire for comfort and closeness (and to literally just watch Aziraphale eat cake) demonstrates the interpersonal progress made in the time after Armageddon't; he's not concealing the offer behind some flimsily-constructed reason (e.g., "I just didn't want to see you embarrass yourself"). in fact, he's implying that they'd be spending long lengths of time together ("hunker down", "a case of something drinkable"). and then Aziraphale's response is also really interesting, and kind of exists as a microcosm of their whole push-and-pull dynamic that has existed for literally thousands of years (begins at the 02:59 minute mark):

Aziraphale: No, I—I—I—I’m afraid that would be breaking all the rules! Out of the question! I’ll see you… when… this is over?

i'm sorry, but the sheer nervousness???? the grasping for excuses??? they're gay disasters, ur honour. breaks my fucking heart </3 i love them both, but also OUGH. azi, why?!?
