Ultimus the Hedgehog

Meet Ultimus Chaos Hedgehog, the youngest child of Sonic and Shadow.

Ultimus was made in a lab as a part of a secret government program, Project Ultimus. When Ultimus failed to inherit any of his parents’ powers, the program was shut down, and he was abandoned as a baby.

Shortly after Ultimus is abandoned by his creators, Sonic and Shadow come across him. Gaia helps lead them to him, and when they see the abandoned baby, they of course take him home with them. After extensive research and testing they’re able to figure out his origins, and make sure the people that abandoned him get what’s coming to them.

Ultimus is edgy and often closed off; a result of feeling like a disappoint to his family for not inheriting any of their powers. He often has a melancholy attitude, and acts similar to how Shadow did before he opened up to Sonic.

While he didn’t inherit Sonic’s speed or Shadow’s chaos manipulation abilities, he makes up for it with his skill in combat. To make up for his lack of powers, he trains super hard to be the best fighter he can, wanting to prove he’s just as valuable as the rest of his family. He’s a skilled swordsman, and wears mock inhibitor rings to fit in with his siblings.

(His pronouns are he/him and he’s gay)

Just saw sansa stans completely blaming the adults for sansas bullying of arya. Which is absurd. Adults never told sansa to bully or call arya mean names. I thought the adults were teaching sansa to be ladylike and mocking and bullying arya is not at all ladylike. So how can adults be in fault? They probably didn't even know the extent of sansa and jeynes bullying of arya.

Also a laughable argument that sansa is a child and 'all children are mean'. Really? Arya is also a child and younger than sansa but arya is never mean to anyone. Bran is also a child and he is never mean to anyone. Arya is kind to everyone she meets especially children. So this 'all kids are mean' argument is untrue and laughable. Because only sansa and jeyne are mean. And they are responsible for their own actions. Not adults.

a lil late night reminder: no matter how you choose to run your blog, or how you may write your muse, you have a place here. as long as you're having fun and finding joy through having a roleplay blog, that's all that matters in the end. <3

One day I will proper write out and publish the pro-hero Kirishima fic of my drafts and I will feel a catharsis I have never felt before. But not today. Today, I nap, cause my work took all my energy out of me.

Women’s self-image is as negative as ever despite the “body positivity” wave of choice feminism. Why?

I think one of the biggest reasons as to why women’s beauty standards and self-image are worse than even is because you can preach about unfair beauty standards all you want and tell women not to make fun of another woman’s looks but you can’t take away the social status and praise that women who are “beautiful” get from society (both men and women). You give them clout and praise them. Something both “body positivity” and “body neutrality” feminists do btw despite all the talk about acceptance.

It’s like saying you don’t support the ethics behind a product and yet still consume and buy it. In this case “beauty” being a luxury achieved via consumerism where women become the products (objects) that other women admire and obsess over. There is a demand so there is a supply PERIOD.

Women might not directly pursue beauty (“I do it for myself”) for men but nonetheless it’s definitely ingrained as a sign of status and that’s enough to cause a negative self-image in women who don’t participate. Men might have been the original perpetrators of installing unrealistic beauty standards for women but the victims (women) have also turned into perpetrators who can’t let go of the misogynistic status symbol of having value from appearances because it’s considered “culture”.

Sometimes I really wanna be one of those cuties who really pulls off short skirts and bats up at people with big eyes and makes everyone a bit flustered 🥺👉👈

but not only do I not have big ol’ eyes, but every time I’ve put on a short skirt (or any skirt really) I’m immediately like “no one fucking look at me. everyone look forward. pretend I’m not fucking here.”

The only person who’s ever been flustered by me is myself

Cause I have anxiety

[gurorori]

bein' completely honest here i have considered npd shu be4 soooo often cause the. the shoe fits (laugh please), i feel like his past & family environment cld really serve as a push, in the end cluster Bs r all jus' sets of survival & coping tactics ya adopt into yr personality as a result of unjust treatment & trauma <- this is true

nawt 2 armchair diagnose him but like we shall go over sum npd traits. cause we kno here it ain't jus' high self esteem (when the opposite is usually evident)

↓↓↓

intentionally or nawt i feel like exvalk shu especially fits the npd mold like dat was his entire character conflict /lh (i miss him)

> a grandiose sense of self-importance

need i say anythin'. listen 2 like the first shu voiceline in ! it was literally 'i am the emperor of ymnsk academy'. .. doesn't he also go as far as 2 declare himself the god of this world? like ''kono sekai no kami da' i remember dat. oh & how much stronger & imposin' his timbre was compared 2 how much softer his voice is rn. he was very much self-focused even though it manifested thru valkyrie, he was distinctly treatin' the unit as his creation & his own creation only. the focus on the self is very real

> a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

i feel like if ya know shu ya will nod away at every single one of these cause. pre-fall valk <- dat wasn' even a fantasy, i feel like he was really narc-thrivin' back then cause it was the reality, they WERE on top. (srry if ya came here 4 thorough analysis i don' do that round here i jus' show ya smth & we both nod solemnly) success, power, brilliance, beauty, even ideal love (shnz wink?) - exvalk shu is both a perfectionist & a maximalist i think he craved it all, an' even when he has achieved great success he jus' can't get enuff, leadin' him 2 get overconfident 2 the point where he was /dat/ oblivious 2 his own (& valkyrie's, but at dat time he saw valkyrie as himself only, & the rest as just an extension, a tool) imminent demise practically laid out in front of him.

> a belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions

this guy?

the guy who calls the general public philistines & views ppl who don' adhere 2 the same high standards he holds 4 himself imbeciles?

> a need for excessive admiration

the 'go on, praise me more!' guy? it might seem at first like he'd b too prideful 2 outright ask 4 external validation but if ya really look a bit into it, he's very reliant on it.. i think it gets amplified by bein' an idol too, bein' very self conscious of yr image. ofc mr oshisan wld find himself in a field where the entire point is 2 b the center of attention & appraisal.

> a sense of entitlement

i think this jus' circles back 2 every other point i made...!!!! exvalk shu is control & acknowledgment hungry. he wants 2 step on n crush the skulls of every1 who is unworthy & soar thru the skies on the mechanical wings of valkyrie.. or wtv. he is intensely focused on his goal 2 the point of tunnel vision cause he fully believes himself 2 deserve the throne. no1 else can b above him. he despises 'commoners' & those below him yet who brought him all the recognition & glory? wats the expression? rest on yr laurels? dunno if 'm usin' it correctly!!!

i also hope i don' come off as dramatisin' too much. like ik marionette is literally jus' one story but i feel it dat much stronger, i guess. 4 (introject) reasons. i hope these things don' read as a huge stretch.

> interpersonally exploitive behavior

> a lack of empathy

> envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her

gettin' lazy. i feel like this cld jus' b self explanatory... i don' wanna go in depth into every single one 4 shu, esp cuz. ya don' need every single criteria 2 match. 4 a diagnosis. but if ya have any specific moments 4 this one feel free 2 add on 👍🏼

> a demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes

They're so twins-coded

[idsmiile]

i forgot if i said anything on my blog already about him. but hi, this is my oc f/o :) still wip but he finally has a name!! his name is Lino, he's 24 years old, 5'10. he's currently dating my s/i Lucia and is extremely devoted to her. he has bpd, depression, and ptsd. and he can find himself being kinda unstable cause a lot of it is mistreated or ignored by professionals. lucia is the only one he trusts with his health. they care for each other a lot and he doesnt want anything else in the world because he has lucia.

💧🔥 < their ship tag :)

he's like water, she's like fire. together they make romance

realizing that big boobs are the reason why i have so much back pain immediately destroyed the acceptance i spent years working on about how my chest looks. lol

im going to be stewing about this if I dont get it out of my system but on that post that was about adhd and ended with "here's meth" someone on here called adhd "unserious" and that they cant take it seriously cause there's worse disorders and its like. yeah there's worse disorders. my adhd almost made me kill myself this year though soooo

[landofgay]

literally how am I meant to trust this hospital in town the amt of people I know that have almost been killed by their negligence is INSANE.

idk how far this goes but at LEAST in BC if not Canada wide we have constant stroke PSAs that have been airing for years now on every channel, but my bfs family friend went up to the hospital twice and they sent him home and he almost drove himself and his wife off the road!!! then they took him up with his confirmed stroke, and they still sent him home again afterwards!!! only for him to have ANOTHER stroke, so they FINALLY sent him out of town for a proper hospital!!!!!!!

y'all do you know how scary it is that I've had ultrasounds and scans at that hospital and idek if I can trust the results of them. I can't trust any of the doctors cause depending on the day they may not believe you. one doctor in particular I literally want to smash her teeth in for what she's done to my bf over the years (permanently fucked up his knee stomach and back and almost killed him during each of those incidents)

and now it's like. "go up there to get advice and see what will help your brain" well. they put me on those last meds. it was bfs CUNT doctor that """helped"" me get off them and caused my withdrawal symptoms, and frankly I'm not about to just start popping MORE pills to fix my already fucked head!!!! it was NEVER this bad.
