when it's his own personal organic form, metal is miserable at gestures/expressions/etc. like when he's mimicking someone else, he has all the blueprints and guidelines already there, and it's flawless.

but with a personal organic form, he doesn't have guidelines like that. if he replicates too much of what he's observed, he just ends up talking like eggman or gesturing like sonic or generally any other person he knows.

taking on a completely unique form is basically asking metal to be himself, which, sure, but at the same time what does that even mean. he's never known what that means. how could he?

#so he just continues to look at you with the coldest deadest most intense stare known to man #he's at least got that part of himself down pat #the point here is second chance metal is comfortable in his identity as an inorganic individual #the ways in which he operates as a robot IS who he is #which is a big part of why he flounders a bit in an organic disguise/doesn't have much of a use for it #metal sonic #second chance au #sea talks
