Holy shit

@hope-to-hell your writing always leaves me speechless.

What a great start into my day

I swear this was supposed to be biting for @septicace-writes but once again nothing went to plan. And Then There Were Four. Smut, multiple partners, oral, anal, restraints, fingering, public sex (fingering). It’s nice to bring someone in to play, once in a while. This one took twice as long to write but it has twice as much smut. “Put these on” is lifted directly from Night Hunter, in a scene that haunts my dreams.

———

This is Walter in the wild woods with the smell of pine clinging to his coat; these are his footprints in the luminous snow and the way he tracks your steps. This is him breathing winter chill into his lungs, trying to breathe slow, trying to calm the rabbiting of his heart.

(This is the signal)

Walter is a hunter by nature if not by trade; he sees everything and if he chooses the path of gentleness it is a true credit to him because he sees weakness everywhere and it would be so easy to exploit it.

(This is the memory)

And when he found you crouching in the snow and said I’ve got you he showed those sharp teeth, smiling like he could smell your need across the clearing; when he had his way with you against a tree it was with your legs wrapped tight around his waist and your yes, more, harder in his ear.

(This is a false lead; this isn’t the point of the story and you know it. The point is the first meeting, the one at the diner, the one where Walter slid his handcuffs across the table and said the words that reached right up to grip you by your cunt:

Put these on.)

And by the time the newcomer arrives you’re already pooling wetness on the vinyl seat, arms behind, cuffs hidden by Walter’s jacket draped over your shoulders. Walter’s gaze is heavy like a blanket; there’s an amused little twist to his lips when the guy says Syverson and moves to shake your hand. And oh,

Oh

That little moment when he realizes why you aren’t responding is a revelation; his eyes blow black with lust in half a moment, as he slides into the booth to cage you in. And Walt won’t ask but if he did you’d acquiesce; you would absolutely and unquestionably let this stranger bend you over the table and fuck you raw right here.

(You remember that foreman who let us in the other night? Well. I need to thank him properly. I was planning on bringing him a case of beer, but I thought I’d offer him to you first. You know he’s interested.

You mean—

If you want. I think you’d like him. Thick, hairy, working man’s hands.

What about Mike? Is he—

Mike looks up from typing and smiles his fallen angel’s smile, luminous in the glow of the screen. Babe, I’m really fucking into it. And I could use the inspiration.

Then yes, fuck yes. Share me out, I want it and I trust you. Absolutely)

Call me Sy, he says, and that drawl of his is sweet; you can picture him forming words against your slit, syrup-slow and hot with need. I’m pleased to meet you and he’s on his best behavior, not even touching til Walter gives the word. Then those thick fingers are creeping up your thigh under your skirt, past those ruined panties to where you wait for him, hot and wet and wanting.

Status, sweetheart.

Green, sir.

Then, at your leisure, Sy. Finger her for me. Make her come right here at the table. And you’ll be quiet for him, won’t you, sweetheart? The only words I want to hear from you til we get home are your signals if you need them, or if I ask you directly to speak.

That’s the game and it’s a good one; even at this angle Sy knows what he’s about, knows how to curl his fingers up and forward to find that spongy patch inside you. Never had an audience before, but I’d have to say I like it.

(Is he thick? Is he cut? Is he—

He’s clean, sweetheart, and kind. And if he lets you on his cock I’ll have you give a full report.)

There’s that spiraled thread uncoiling in your belly, shining and thick with need; Sy’s hand on you is unrelenting, fingers pressing firm and you’re so good, so good, sweetheart, don’t hold back when you feel it. I can see it in your face, you’re nearly there. And oh Walter’s voice is soothing, though it’s coming from a face that looks like thunder, like he’s furious but it’s only him crushing down his need. He wants to the point he nearly can’t contain it and there’s that thought

(That fantasy, really, of these men inside you all at once, your holes gaping open and Walter’s fingers heavy on your tongue)

of what could happen. It’s not an anything can happen kind of night; Walter’s much too careful for that. But it’s a night that’s rife with newness. And your mind shorts out mid-thought, with the barest brush of beard against your neck as Sy leans in to drive in deep with a press and twist that has you coming hard and wet over his hand. Darlin, that was beautiful. And Syverson is smiling through his beard, his voice rough and deep and if your hands were free you’d jerk me off. But darlin. Here you are all wrapped up like a present for me, and that’s even better. And he licks his fingers.

This is two trucks blowing down the highway, one with you and Walter and the other bearing Syverson along.

(This is the plan)

This is the house where Mike waits, sitting in the big chair. His grin is near as loose as his salute, lazy and open as he’s palming gently at his cock; he’s got his notes and he’s got his drink and he is watching. He is watching and he is waiting and he might play at being young and dumb sometimes but it’s a front; he watches you and Sy and he sees everything. He sees you and he leans his head against Walter’s thigh when he stands beside the chair; Walter’s hand is ruffling Mike’s curls and did you have a good time, boss?

Look at how she glows, Michael. She had one already, right there at the table. Quiet as a mouse, so goddamn good for us.

My ears are burning.

Sweetheart. Is that sass?

And there’s Sy with his fingers under your jaw, tipping your face up to look at him. How are we gonna play this?

We’re flexible. What hole do you want, Syverson? Our sweet girl here wants to be filled to bursting.

And Mike, from his chair: you should have her ass. Helped her prep before you left. She’s all plugged and ready for you, aren’t you, babe? There’s Sy’s cock jerking hard at the thought, of a sweet warm ass all slicked and open for him and he had to have noticed at the diner, he had to have, but maybe

(This is the tease and the promise)

maybe he thought it wouldn’t be for him and he’d have been happy either way; pussy is delectable but Christ, darlin. Yes, yes, if you’ll let me and Sy gets your clothes off as best he can; your shirt is tangling in the cuffs but it’s alright because he can kneel behind you and look at that pretty jewel in your ass; he can tap the base with a thick finger to hear you whine. He can work his teeth into the meat of your ass gently, gently, leaving a circle of indentations that might not be a bruise but goddamn does it feel nice when he licks over them.

It feels even better when Sy eases the plug from your ass and watches your pretty little hole twitch around nothing— look at that, just begging to be filled up again— and laves his tongue over your hole. It’s like fire, that moment when his tongue points hard and slips inside. It’s intimate and strange and good; you’ve known this guy for an hour and his tongue is in your ass. He moves in licks and stabs of tongue, his hands working the bottle of lube that Mike slips him before leaning in to kiss you wet and open

You like it, babe? You thinking about what he’ll be like inside you? Thinking about what it’ll be like when you’re full of all of us, every hole plugged tight with cock? Hey, Sy. How’s her ass? Is it sweet? And that’s a growl that vibrates through your ass into your core; that’s Sy hooking his thumbs in your ass and beginning to stretch you wide as Mike guides you to bend over the bed, as he’s stroking clever fingers down your flanks and saying babe. Babe. Fuck. Like this, I never thought— wish you could see this, he’s so lost to it.

And maybe you can’t see it but you can feel it, the rasp of beard against the crease of ass and thigh. You can feel the cool slide of lube after Sy pulls back to slick his hand; he knows this dance and all its steps. He works you open til at last he’s satisfied, til Mike’s fingers are pruning from how he’s been playing with your slit, teasing, never quite enough so that you’re desperate, chasing between his hand and Sy’s, seeking more.

(Remember. We are here with you.)

Michael. Since you’re there why don’t you fuck her cunt, and I’ll take that pretty throat. Walter helps Mike get into position, reclining with his feet on the floor; there’s that sweet almost-burn of a thick cock stretching at your walls; under Mike’s white tee his nipples pebble hard; the barbells are visible and Christ it’s a sight.

Without use of your arms you’re entirely dependent on these men to hold you upright; Mike’s hands are steady on your sides, his fingers rippling in patterns. And that’s— my god—

Shh, sweetheart.

—when Sy’s cock first pushes inside slick and hot and achingly tight there’s a moment when he nearly loses himself, when he’s breathing harshly through his nose and you can feel the internal fight, the keep it together argument within himself, the one that says be still a moment. And so he waits til that need recedes, til the tight heat around him isn’t entirely too much, and then he starts to move. Slowly, slowly, like glaciers, like window glass, he flows in you and it is sweet, it is counterpoint to Mike who is also moving, careful, careful, moaning at the feel of that second cock inside you, separated from him only by the thinnest bit of skin.

So this is what it looks like from the outside. Sweetheart, you’re a vision. Walter wants, he wants so badly but he checks the angle of your arms in their cuffs, pressed against Sy’s belly as he ruts you from behind;

Status, sweetheart.

Gr— green, sir. Greengreengreen.

Walter comes around to kiss you, biting a little with his sharp teeth; there’s that rasp of his zipper as he’s kneeling on the bed, tangling with Mike to get his cock angled properly at your face. He says suck, sweetheart and so you do; you take him deep and all at once, full beyond breath with Walter’s length down your throat.

And there’s Sy across your back with a wondering voice, first time with more than just one other and fuck— fuck—good, this is good, kid, I can feel you in her with me. But Mike can’t answer; his eyes are fixed on you, on the way Walter’s cock disappears and reappears from your mouth above him, on the way your eyes are bright with tears but not of pain or fear, only the pleasure and the overwhelm.

And you? Your head is growing light; you hum around Walter’s cock while Mike watches, counting your blinks to be sure. He might not take the role too often but when it’s his turn to watch your signals he takes the task on with his whole heart. Between he and Walter you’re safe as houses; Sy has every promise of a good man and if he sticks around that’d be real nice.

(Three holes, three men. Think you can take it, babe?

Course I can take it.

Do you want to take it?

Fuck, yes)

And so you fall apart, and it is good. If asked, you wouldn’t be able to say who came in what order, only that they did, only that you did—again— and yet a third time with the second still rolling through you. And they are a warm and heavy pile around you, slick with fluids; Walter draws the handcuff keys from a chain around his neck and frees your wrists; he and Mike stroke your hair with a good, good girl as their fingers tangle together.

‘Sgood. So good.

Yeah, sweetheart. You did so well and now you’re full of us, come in every hole. What a sight. What a treat.

For me?

For you. For us.

And Sy? He’s watching soft and sated, sliding free, with a kiss and a lick at your hole before he joins the pile. ‘Sgood. Do you mind if I stick around a while?

The bed has room enough for four, big guy. Get comfy, take a nap. We’ll still be here.

[just-absolutely-super]

Had a wild dream about your blog where I saw leaks for Sonic Frontiers DLC and came to tell you but you claimed it was a lie and told your mutuals to stay away from me

The DLC involved a new minigame... Sonic and Eggman had to face off in a karaoke battle against each other.

Have a good weekend, see ya later!

Yikes dream me was a real bitch

Also, Sonic and Eggman having a karaoke battle sounds like such a Sonic Boom thing to do

Besides dinners, what other romantic acts would Leon do to please his s/o?

Definitely take them for a ride on his bike. Leon is that type of guy she will see out through the windows of her bedroom after receiving a text saying: "Look outside"

And him, there, waiting for her outside.

-

Drinks? No. One thing I have noticed, Leon does NOT invite women out for drinks. So I have a feeling that is something he does among his "buddies", his "cool-guys" and friends.

Mike, Buddy... But when it is about Women? It is always: "dinner" and such.

So, I guess NOT bars.

-

Leon when driving to RC in RE2R is listening to rock and in RE4R there is a "local music" playing. I'm inclined to assume Leon is an avid music enjoyer/lover.

Maybe he can play a soft guitar. Nothing authoral. But play songs if he practice.

-

Homemade food. Leon knows all about the best places for a nice dinner, so let me dream that he is also very capable to make an amazing dinner for her. And he knows just the perfect wine to go along with the date's theme.

[ninjapotatohead]

Fans still harp on RCS's performance in Forces yet Frontiers' overly-dreary voice direction is right there.

Oh but wait, it was intentional because it "fits the tone." Man, screw tone if your otherwise great cast are being made to sound like they don't want to be in the recording booth.

Pretty much this. Half of the VAs sound so bored throughout Frontiers. Even Mike Pollock's usual hamminess as Eggman is damn-near nowhere to be seen, like the Astro Boy looking-ass story beat they tacked onto him sucked the life out of his performance.

Like it went from this...

To this...

Knot On Your Life

Record Collector #266 — October 2001

Slipknot’s recent Iowa album entered the UK album charts at No. 1 — unprecedented for a nu-metal band. Drummer Joey Jordison waxes highly lyrical

(google drive link)

Slipknot’s second proper album, Iowa, was the most eagerly-awaited rock record of 2001, and both critics and fans of the masked nine-man band from Des Moines weren’t surprised when it crashed straight into the charts at the top spot in early September. But to anyone not familiar with the crushing music of this most uncompromising of groups, the sudden glut of media appearances that followed this triumph might seem strange, to say the least. After all, these are people who urinate on stage, offer fans the chance to inhale from rectally-inserted tubes and regularly vomit onto their audiences.

Despite the band’s fearsome reputation, drummer Joey Jordison was on relaxed form as he chatted to RC from his Mid-Western home. In fact, he was willing to provide an opinion on most subjects — so RC fed him a topic, and off he went. If only all interviews were this easy, eh?

A Night In With The Knot

All round to Joey’s…

Imagine you’ve invited us to a party round at your house. What tunes would you play for us? If I’m having a party I don’t really play much metal — because the chicks get more naked if you play something light. Old Bee Gees, or Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, they’re all good party albums

I read once that you’re into the Cars and Fleetwood Mac. Oh, yeah. The Cars — I really like their Candy-O record, man, it was one of those records that really broke New Wave in America. They were one of the first bands to use the fuckin’ New Wave keyboards in their music, man.

The one-finger thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally! Like ‘Let’s Go’ with that cheesy line that they use, but it’s so infectious. We played it before a show one time — we cranked that entire song through the PA right before we hit the stage. The kids were so fuckin’ loud and pissed off! They thought we were gonna cut the cong but we played the whole damn thing (laughing), just to irritate them.

What about a bit of dance or hip-hop? I like the new Ludicrous record. And chicks often get naked when we play that new Nelly CD for some reason (laughs). I also like the Wu-Tang Clan and Ol’ Dirth Bastard’s solo stuff, and of course old Public Enemy, and the old NWA stuff. I’m much more into the old school — I don’t listen to any of that current shit.

Did you ever get into any grunge at all? For a little bit, although I was pretty strictly devoted to metal. I really can’t stand Pearl Jam though — I’ve never been a fan of them. Alice In Chains was always a metal band in hiding, with a grunge umbrella. Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger was phenomenal, too.

What about Faith No More? A band I still devote a lot of respect to. Faith No More really turned things around for me — The Real Thing really shaped my awareness of musical styles and using them tastefully. Mike Patton is probably the most talented musician and visionary I’ve ever heard in my life.

Most people might also be surprised to hear that I’m really into glam shit too, in my other band, the Rejects (chuckles).

What — Bolan and Bowie? More like the New York Dolls and Hanoi Rocks, but it’s all good music.

Do you dress up in the appropriate manner on stage? Make-up, lipstick? Yeah, we do. It depends on the mood. But like the famous song said, though, just because I wear make-up doesn’t mean that I can’t kick your ass!

The morning after the party, what mellow tunes would you play for us? Let me check my current crop of albums. I’d probably actually wake you up with some Amen. ‘We came here to fuck you!’ That rules, dude. I love that band.

An unlikely pairing: (above) the Cars, whose ‘cheesy’ synth lines do it for Joey, and (below) the Bee Gees, for whom ‘the chicks get naked’, dude.

Gloom And Doom

The murky depths of extreme metal explored…

The introduction of Iowa’s first song, ‘People = Shit’, is pure Morbid Angel. Fuck yeah! If you’re gonna pay tribute to something, pay it to a band that kicks ass. My favourite Morbid work is Blessed Are The Sick — I think it’s untouchable.

Altars Of Madness was really cool, too. Fuck, that’s old school, man, that’s going back. I think they really came into their own around the time of Domination, when they started using the seven-string guitars.

What other metal bands are you into? I also really like Raging Speedhorn, and I gotta say Immortal’s Damned In Black is one of the finest black metal releases ever.

I thought In The Heart Of Winter was better. Yes, that fucker too — all Immortal is great. They’re one of the prime black metal bands of all time.

Have you got Slayer’s new album, God Hates Us All? Yes — it’s phenomenal.

‘Payback’ is a great song. (sings line from song) Payback, you bitch motherfucker! (sniggers)

Do you like Nile? I love Nile. Black Seeds Of Vengeance — I love fuckin’ Nile! They rule, man.

Poppin’ Out

Joey talks Britney

It’s a good time to be into metal, isn’t it? Look at it this way. Metal always stays here, it’ll never go away, because of the legions of devoted fans, man, they never go anywhere. They are always fucking gonna be there. The music will never go away. It’s been tested time and time again.

On the other hand, cheesy pop like Britney Spears and N’Sync has got a lot stronger at the same time, don’t you think? That’s very true, it’s a good point. Those bands are really big sellers for their labels. They’re all geared towards MTV; then MTV is geared to the kids; the kids bitch at their parents constantly, and then they go out and buy the record.

Sometimes these kids don’t know any better, they don’t know you can go out and get into the underground tape-trading scene, because they’re fed that shit over fuckin’ television. Which is a drug in its fuckin’ self.

We wanna turn these kids on. A lot of them have heard Korn and Limp Bizkit, but they’ve never heard a blastbeat. It’s great that we can turn them on to the underground — like a kid might never have heard of Morbid Angel, and might think that I’m the first guy to ever do a blastbeat and double bass. Which isn’t true.

Is it strange when Slipknot are included in the same nu-metal category as bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn? No. I can’t bitch about it because we are in that nu-metal group. We do have elements of the nu-metal sound, but the fact is, you can tell we come from a place that is more genuine and way more old-school than that.

Grrr!

Reasons to be angry

At the Ozzfest, Corey (Taylor, Slipknot singer) said ‘We’re going to kill everyone in the rock music industry’. Is the relationship between the band and the business really so bad? He’s always talking about that. A lot of the press — obviously not you, because you know what you’re talking about — when we were done with our first record, they said that there was no way we could top it, and were already slagging the second record. And then there’s the fuckin’ leeches that fuckin’ steal money, and the people that misquote you, and people that start fuckin’ bad rumours — and before you know it there’s a whole new list of problems that come with fame.

I’ll gladly take those problems because this is what I’ve wanted since I was five years old, but (getting annoyed) it doesn’t mean that it fucking doesn’t fucking totally fucking goad men, and totally fucking brings me to a fucking boiling point … (tails off in incoherent rage, then takes a deep breath and calms down). So a lot of those things came out, and we had a lot of personal issues when we were on the road. And we;re doing non-stop shows, so every day there’s something going on.

Havin’ It Large

Party on!

Didn’t you go drinking a lot with Casey Chaos when you were on tour together? Yeah, we do these drinking matches. I always lose. I got him one time, though. It took him a while, but he finally got fucked up and fell down the back of this bus — and Casey Chaos never pukes, ever, but he threw up this time.

I sobered up really quickly after I pissed myself in my bunk, and I came back out and I’m like, I’m ready to go again! But he had to go to bed. I may have fallen down first, but I came back for the second round. That’s been the only time.

Can you still get up and play the drums when you’ve got a sickening hangover? Oh, absolutely, dude. I’ve done it a million times. I’m not necessarily proud of it. But when the mask goes on and I fuckin’ slip into the fuckin’ boiler suit, something just happens to me, man. Everything goes away, and it’s all about us and those kids for that hour.

The Past

The bad old days…

Do you ever listen to Slipknot’s demo album, Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat? I never ever listen to it. I’m very proud of where we come from, man, and I’ll never forget where we come from, but … that was a totally different band back then, you know, and it’s not the same.

Did you know that people are paying over £150 in this country for original copies of MFKR, if they can find them? (shocked) Christ almighty. God damn, man … they must really like the band.

It’s a lot of money to pay for someone’s demo. Or do you regard the album as more than just a demo? It’s kind of a glorified demo. It’s glorified in that it sounds really good for a demo — it’s produced really well. But there’s only six people on that record, Corey’s not the lead singer, the guitar players are different — you know, the only original members are me, Shawn and Paul on that.

The first Knot guitarist, Donnie Steele, famously left the band after a religious conversion. Yes. He was like, I found God and this band is not for me.

Even though he’d been in Anal Blast and Body Pit beforehand — two extreme grindcore bands? I guess not. He really wasn’t down with the mask thing either — when it came up he was like, I can’t do that. So I thought, hmm, OK, you’re probably not gonna work out.

Then there was Cuddles … (yawns) Yes … … but maybe I won’t go into that? Don’t. We never talk about that guy (drummer Cuddles, a member of the band from 1997-8, is alleged to be suing Slipknot at the time of writing).

The Future

What lies ahead

You once said that Slipknot is just too intense a band to survive more than a couple of albums. I get asked about that in every interview I do. But it’s cool, because it’s the truth. I think if the band broke up right now — you can call this ego, call it what you want — we might even have some kind of legendary status.

You mean, if you stopped at the peak of your form, before it got stale? Yes, like the Sex Pistols did. They did it right, man, they didn’t fuckin’ let themselves become parodies. And that’s what we plan to do with this band, once I know it’s not working. Because of all the hurt in the band, and the fact that there’s nine of us, I think if it went on too long, it would become a parody, man.

Will your records keep getting heavier and heavier, as they have so far? Well, lots of bands say their next record is gonna be the heaviest one ever, but they’re full of shit. They just say this so their fans will go out and buy it. But I can’t do that to my fans, man, because they’re the ones that got me here, y’know.

Hii 🌸

I know I’m super late to respond to your ask but here I go 😍

I have to say I like Dino from Heavens Secret. I don’t know where I stopped with Heavens Secret, but at some point I think I stopped playing that story 🙈

Queen in 30 days sounds interesting I might give that one a try 🥰

Hollywood Story sounds intriguing though too 😅

WavePatrol? I’d love to try that one out but can’t access it? I only get some stories to play others don’t even show up, so when I saw how many stories you’re able to play? I was like how? If you have tips how to access all stories please let me know 🥰

Shadows of Saintfour, Moonbeam, Legend of the Willow, Sophie’s 10 wishes, Seduced by the rhythm (sounds like Along came Treble from Choices) and On thin Ice (sound a lot like the book Ice Breaker by Hannah Grace if you know it).

But these titles sound super cool wish I could access them somehow 😅

Thank you for sharing which story, Li and MC you liked or disliked. Would it be okay if I shared mine once I get the time to play some of the stories? It would be cool to share since I don’t know that many people who play RC 🥰

Again thanks for sharing 🩷🩷

It bums me that the Sonic VAs got nothing for the Sonic movie. At least the Mario one gave Charles Martinet something to do even if they're side characters. Mike Pollock has been voicing Eggman since Shadow the Hedgehog and he got Jack. Same with Smith and Griffith. Could have at least had Knuckles dad be played by Dan Green or Travis Willingham or something (note I love Christopher Lloyd)

Oh trust me, my friend, I am right there with you. It gets worse with the addition of Tails. He is still voiced by his og actress, Colleen O'Shaughnessey. And let me tell you right now, the difference in talent and competency when you put Tails and Ben Schwartz into the same scene together is night and day. (Here's their literal first scene together to prove it.)

(And to anyone who thinks I'm giving Mr. Schwartz a hard time... i mean, fair enough. I am. But you can't tell me he has given ANYTHING to Sonic that he didn't already do in DuckTales (2017) as Dewey Duck, and as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein before the both of them in Parks &. Recreation, which is the entire point of why I viscerally dislike him as a voice actor very specifically. It'd be fine if he stayed in his lane, you know, as a comedian, but he didn't, so he's getting my full criticism. Especially where Sonic is concerned.)

Jason Griffith most likely would have been pleased to come back to Sonic. I mean he voice acted for the guy for seven years and is HIGHLY beloved by the Sonic fandom to this day. Especially for his work on SonicX. Roger Craig Smith is IMMENSELY talented and has been voicing Sonic for over ten years now, and is so good at his job that he is STILL voicing Sonic despite the franchise's setbacks and his own announcement of leaving the role. Because he's good at it and he's passionate about it. (I personally love RCS more than Jason. Not that Jason is bad by any means but RCS is underrated imo.)

I'm not as well versed in this, but there's ALSO the fact that Knuckles' voice actors didn't get hired to voice the echidna either. They hired Idris Elba, and some people were saying was going to be fantastic in the role, and you know what? In my opinion, he sucked. He absolutely bombed it. And I say that knowing how well he does on screen in an acting role because I have watched him play Heimdall for 10+ years. He HAS talent, but is NOT a voice actor. And he certainly is not a good fit for Knuckles the Echidna. He didn't even come anywhere close to emulating Knuckles' voice.

And then you get the argument of "oh but the voices don't have to be the same" — my sweet summer children... The joy of voice acting and animated characters is that it DOES all come down to the voice and the voice matches the character design. The voice is the ENTIRE SELLING POINT. You don't get the voice right, then the entire acting fails and no animation talent can save it. It sucks but it's true. (As someone who had to struggle to find a fitting voice for my thesis' film's main villain this is such a priority that people overlook. Good enough isn't good at all.)

Honestly though, the real kicker here is that the Sonic franchise should never have been a "live action" film at all. I loathe "live action remakes" of animated films no matter what they are. I especially hate CGI/live action fusions that make that the selling point when Roger Rabbit proved that it can be done much better with 2D/hand-drawn animation. (To a lesser extent: compare the og. Space Jam with the remake, or even Space Jam with the og Smurfs. The quality difference all these years past is not even comparable.)

Also, it's not even a "live action remake", because, spoiler alert, the characters are still animated and no amount of life-like special effects will change that.

Hollywood (and America as a whole) needs to quit disrespecting animation and calling it "for kids" when it is a medium. It always has been.

Thanks to @aemiron-main I got this screenshot

But what's that on the counter?

Where did I see something similiar?

(the champion poster behind dustin. Didn't had a better picture at hand)

Why is a RC car that's heavily looks like something from Mike's room present in the close vicinity of a character that is a nerd, super smart and dies in the season where possession is the main threat?

Well coincidence I guess. Has nothing to do with Mike. Nope. Can't be.

Just giving an update to my RC friend. These are the books I read with the chosen LIs. I want to know how much we have in common. Tell me please:

Heaven's Secret 1 (Angel Dino) ❤️❤️❤️

Queen in 30 Days (Adam, the bodyguard. The first meeting with the Prince Richard was wonderful so I thought I'll romance him, but later he got annoying to me. Then I chose funny, supportive, protective Adam)

Hollywood Story (none, I thought of Mike but he hurt my MC's feelings. Idk, there was a break-up and then he dated MC's friend and acted like nothing happened)

WavePatrol (None. Jake annoyed me. Worst)

Shadows of Saintfour (Michael) 🩷

Moonborn (Max Fall and his cute smile)

Legende of The Willow (sweet Ninja Kazu) 🥹

Sophie's 10 Wishes (shy, nerdy, Benedict Reed, bit the doctor with the dog was cute too. But mostly Benedict Reed who I ended up with)

Seduced by the Rythm (none, the boys were annoying. Charles, the rival was the only decented one but no Love Interest)

On Thin Ice (sweet, protective Brian Baker who risks his life for me. I love him) 😘

Heaven's secret: Lucifer

Queen in 30 days: I might've romanced the king but I don't even remember? I didn't really read that book, I just clicked through and picked random choices lol

My Hollywood story: haven't played it past chapter 2

Wave patrol: everyone lol I romanced Jake, Kayla, and tried Alek's route where you don't really romance him but you stay loyal and don't romance anyone else. It was solely for achievements.

Shadows of Saintfour: haven't played it

Moonborn: haven't played

Legend of the Willow: haven't played

Sophie's 10 wishes: Benedict

Seduced by the Rhythm: haven't played past chapter 4, so far nobody seemed interesting enough to romance

On thin ice: Tate 🩵
