Alright, so here is the lowdown on the Xenosaga wiki edits of AlexShepard.
Xenogears is a classic 90's JRPG and the predecessor to the PS2 series Xenosaga. As such, it is part of the Xenosaga wiki. You may be familiar with its distant cousin Xenoblade by the same director.
The plot is incredibly dense and complex, having been influenced largely by popular mecha anime at the time, notably Evangelion and Gundam, so I won't go into it here.
What you need to know is that 70 hours into the game, you learn that an immortal woman named Miang, Myyah in Japanese, has been influencing humanity for centuries to further the goals of her god. She accomplished this by repeatedly entering high government positions or getting close with those who were in charge. At no point did the game ever mention her using brainwashing to accomplish her goals. Still, that won't stop AlexShepard from trying to convince you otherwise.
And yes, he also talked a lot about circumcision.
As time went on, users caught on to his strange edits to pages around the wiki, though most of it stayed centered on Miang. AlexShepard's lack of sources in his posts were brought up as the main concern and several discussions were held on the place of fan theories in wikia.
At the height of AlexShepard's edits, fellow Xenosaga wiki user Abearhead went on a mission to correct AlexShepard's edits only for him to immediately restore them upon doing so. Their back and forth editing can still be seen in the wiki history to this day.
AlexShepard and Abearhead continued to war within the page edits, message walls, and community forum. As both parties because increasingly irritate, Abearhead made several calls to action to do something about AlexShepard.
Everything came to a head and the community put removing AlexShepard's admin privileges to a vote.
It was in this poll that attention was called to his bizarre, circumcision-based edits on the Silent Hill wiki as evidence that he was unfit to be an admin.
His activity there is another can of worms entirely, so I won't get into it here. If you are curious, Whang! made a good video on the subject.
Needless to say, the poll passed. Alexshepards admin rights were removed, and he would later be issued a global block on wikia.
Everything regarding this event is still on the wiki. I've done my best to include links but am really only scratching the surface of this bizarre incident so I would encourage you to explore for yourself.
If you just want to read AlexShepard's edits for yourself, I would encourage you to take a look at this version of the Myyah Hawwa page.
Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

i just finished reading the sidekick squad today and im so in love with your characters and just the entire universe you've created - like its inspired me to start writing again so thank you for writing not your sidekick and not your villain, for the representation and everything
2/2 and i kinda wanna draw fanart of bells in his suit but like what comes to mind is the kid flash suit on the cw but w the chameleon color scheme and the mask?? is that how you thought of it to look? and the M suit i still cant get over abby listening to jess gush to M about her crush on abby akdjfalsfkafjsl i love them so much
Thank YOU so much! It means so much to me that you took the time to send me this lovely message and ultimately the fact that you are now inspired to write and do fanart is SO incredibly overwhelming to me and the utmost compliment! Inspiring someone to be creative my dream and I am so happy you’re inspired.
The best visualization I just found! Of how DED’s would function is this screencap from Voltron:

I love that you want to draw DED’s! I’m imagining them to to have a style similar to the Fitbits-- specifically the Alta, with everything fitting in line with the wristlet! There’d be a tiny camera and projector embedded in there-- the projection style, visually would be kind of like this screencap of Tony Stark’s tech in Age of Ultron-- with the holos projected more directly over the wrist instead of being held, but how one would touch it and navigate it would be similar.
As for the desktop projector-- some of this tech exists now! The keyboard:
There are a number of different companies who make keyboard projectors like this! This is the AGS Wireless Laser Projector keyboard. In the Sidekick Squad world, I imagine the desktop projector to be about the size pictured above and have the option to project screens above it and also a keyboard below and have lots of options for user customization!
And AHHHHH thank you so so much for asking about the supersuits! I love seeing everyone’s interpretations of the M mechasuit! I’ve been inspired by a lot of mecha in anime as well, including Evangelion and Gundam Wing! I also really love the look of the Paladin armor in VLD.
As for Bells’ supersuit-- it’s not explicitly described in addition to the color and the mask (I LOVE Kid Flash’s suit though and the fact that you mentioned it!), so your headcanons on how it looks is perfectly valid and I’m so so excited to see it!
Thank you so much for all the questions! I hope you found my thoughts helpful. XD
