Nobody asked for this but Sentrix is on the MIND so I inflict it upon you anyway.

Doing separate versions for Transformers One and Transformers Animated too because Sentrix is canon in both but obviously in very different ways 🧡💙

the creature itself [<- link] (my little she/it)

word count: 1650+

letters used: S E N T R I X (duh ♡)

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

TFOne: Yes and no. Sentinel and Trixie mainly have shared goals, and those consist of continuing to live the high life as the Icon of Iacon and his spoiled pet, and yeah, they help each other out with that. Trixie makes Sentinel look even better with just her presence, because now he's the benevolent leader who took pity on a poor, lost creature and gave it a home. Plus, she's the one removing the cogs from the bodies of new Cybertronians; it's far easier with her comperatively small, sharp claws and long snout. They're each other's biggest cheerleaders, only unfortunately (for everyone else), they're also both utterly rotten people whose ideas should not be combined.

TFA: Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what Trixie's goals even are. She's a bit lost right now, literally and figuratively. Finding a safe home would be one, I suppose, and yeah Sentinel does inadvertedly help with that, though it's mostly in the sense that Trixie just attaches itself to him and he has to live with that now.

As for Sentinel, he wants to become Magnus, which isn't happening, and Trixie couldn't be arsed to lift a finger to change that even if she had that power. You want to put that guy in charge? Hilarious, absolutely not. That said however, what you want and what you need are famously often not the same thing.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

TFOne: At first sight, you'd think that Sentinel is the dominant one for sure. After all, Trixie literally lives as his pet. It wears a whole collar. What's more submissive than that? But once the public's eyes are no longer on them, this puppy can and will take charge. And not just in the berthroom – though, most certainly there too, I will not lie to you – also in the sense that it just bosses this man around in ways that would get anyone else executed. Let me put it this way: think of the most spoiled pet you can imagine, and their owner. Which one of them is really in charge?

TFA: Oh, Trixie is definitely dominant here. She ain't the doggy in this verse, if you know what I'm saying. Sentinel wants to pretend he's in charge, but he is very much not, and even though he's complaining nonstop, he is whipped. It could do anything it wants to him and he would thank her. And you better believe that she will exploit that with delight.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

TFOne: Trixie's not much of a nickname kinda person, but he can't escape Senny, even though he hates it. No, especially because he hates it. Other contenders are [my] baby (rare, because that one's genuinely affectionate), babe, or any variant of Bitch. (Listen, they love each other, but they're not nice to each other. All nicknames are used in a derogatory manner at least 90% of the time. That, or in a bedroom setting. [You don't even want to know what other names she calls him in that context.])

TFA: Here, too, Sentinel is cursed to be Senny, often coupled with the even more infantilizing Senny-baby. Which is somehow still better than Mr. Chin. Trixie also often refers to him as Puppy, though it should be noted that that's her own species' form of 'baby'. She calls Sari "pup" too. Still, it should also be said that it absolutely does know what it means on Earth (and Sentinel may or may not).

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

TFOne: Trixie very much needs to be entertained at all times, or it WILL grow bored and leave. It's not the "settle down" kinda type. Thankfully, Sentinel keeps her on her toes – could you imagine that mech in a cozy domestic setting? Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Perfect, just how Trixie likes it.

TFA: In a very similar vein, Trixie requires constant enrichment to keep her interest. Thankfully, Sentinel provides plenty of entertainment just by being his usual self. Simply watching him go about his day is downright priceless, Trixie probably follows him around with a large bag of popcorn.

That said, TfA!Trixie is at least a bit more chill thak her counterpart, and could grow to be comfortable to get at least somewhat settled down some day. Never in a fully boring way, but enough to just be happy to relax at home without needing to go out and cause trouble every single day. Just, you know, maybe every 2-3 days.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

TFOne: Doing something romantic would kill Trixie instantly. At most, maybe, maybe she'll pull some overly cliché stunt ironically, but even that is an incredibly rare occurence that has to be earned. That's about as romantic as she's gonna get (so, really, it's incredibly special coming from her). Likewise, a fully genuine, grand romantic gesture would likely make her uncomfortable rather than touched. Unless it's from Sentinel, and he's used slave labor to make it happen just for her, in which case, aww, baby, you're the sweetest thing!

I suppose it depends on your definition of romantic.

As for "what would they do to make their s/o happy", well, you know. It does do the whole 'stealing cogs' thing for him, plus gets occasionally sent to spy on people Sentinel is suspicious of, because they'll talk freely in front of an "animal". But it enjoys doing these things for him, so really, it's mutually beneficial.

TFA: Trixie could be persuaded to be a biiiit more romantic, if she really truly deeply cared for someone, but it's not her thing. It just doesn't feel natural. If Sentinel pulled off some romantic gesture for it (god, imagine) it'd just laugh at him (in her defense, he'd probably make a fool of himself, so it's justified). It's nervous laughter though, because she has no idea how else to react. Genuine feelings? EW, get it away from her. Will quietly snuggle up with him later and make him pet her, avoiding eye contact. This is how it shows affection. Ain't he lucky.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

TFOne: If anything, they make each other worse <3. Both of these assholes were little shitbags on their own long before they ever met, but put them together and you open the door to a whole new world full of shitbaggery. They are so awful. It's wonderful. For them, anyway. Less so for anyone else within the general vicinity.

One thing that Sentinel inadvertedly managed to change for Trixie is the way she holds herself. It could never go back to its home planet, even if all charges were dropped. She'd never be able to join society again. It got too used to acting like a dog, it forgot how to act civilized. What do you mean cook its own meals and eat at a table? Where's her bowl of kibble?

TFA: Very much so! For Sentinel specifically – he had to have an entire character arc to get with Trixie lmao. Dude went from #1 Organic Hater to sharing a berth with the most obnoxious one of them all. He's... still not too fond of organics in general, but Trixie is different. It just is. Shut up. But there comes a point when he's no longer having to surpress a shudder when it licks his hand, or bumps its wet nose against the side of his helm, and if he had the introspection for it, he'd realize he's in way, way too deep. Hypocritical fool.

He still doesn't trust new organics – heck, some of them probably do spit toxic sludge at people – but if you pay enough attention, you can tell he's at least a lot more open to giving them a chance. At least, once they've proven they can't hurt him. It's a learning curve.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

TFOne: Trixie very much does. Annoyingly so. Granted, she does do it in part specifically because it likes to be annoying, but that's also largely just a ruse. Girl's a cuddler. A snuggle bug. Sentinel has had to reprimand it countless times not to go too over the top when they're in public, and it has changed absolutely nothing. It's still sitting on his shoulder, rubbing its whole body against his helm and giving his face puppy kisses every time.

She's actually a lot less physically affectionate when they're in private (because it's toootally just to annoy him in public). It'll nap on his lap while he's working and let him pet her, but she's not nearly as openly loving. He needs to earn that.

As soon as it's time to sleep though, Sentinel always turns the tables on her, because his recharging processor seems to view Trixie as his personal teddy bear and there is NO escape from his grasp.

TFA: Oh, TfA!Trixie is even more snuggly than her counterpart, but this time it's because of how much Sentinel hates it. The moment it catches on just how pathetically disgusted he is by organic beings, she makes it her life's mission to torment this mech. He may be hurling insults at it, but hearing him shriek like a little girl when she gives him a big ol' lick on the faceplate is too fucking delightful (and to be clear, to her species, that's, like, a whole smooch. Not that Trixie cares. It just finds it funny. But, it should be said. Sentinel is wholly unaware that he's being made out with and just finds it to be the grossest thing he's ever experienced).

Trixie does it a bit less once Sentinel gets used to it, because he's no longer reacting (who'd have thunk that would work). But of course he's still getting kissies. Sometimes.

TfA!Trixie is actually not very big on genuine PDA at all. It makes her uncomfortable. It's different if she's joking, but you expect her to let anyone know it has feelings? Absolutely not. It has an image to uphold. Sentinel technically has the opportunity to pull the funniest uno reverse, but he probably won't, because he's also a loser. On the flip side, this Trixie is quite a bit more cuddly in private than it is in TfOne! Being less downright evil also made it more sweet. Sometimes. When no one's watching. If you tell anyone, she'll deny everything.

To continue on the theme of Mask of Light voice acting decisions, let's look at the oeuvre of Kathleen Barr:

To start with, Roodaka:

Evil (co-)ruler of a horde of bug-esque minions

Convinces the leader of the heroes to join her by promising him power and loyal followers

plans to absorb the good guys' powers and is defeated when they use those powers on her (though she technically wins)

Manipulative, evil, seductive

Perfect voice, 10/10

Queen Chrysalis:

Evil ruler of a horde of bug-esque minions

Hypnotises the leader of the royal guard and makes him her slave

plans to absorb the good guys' love and is defeated when they use that love on her (she comes back though)

Manipulative, evil, seductive

Perfect voice, 10/10, the only fault is that she loses the cool 'buzz' effect in later appearances

Laverna:

Evil sister of the queen and leader of a horde of fungus-esque minions

Hypnotises the hero by promising her her greatest desire

plans to absorb the good guys' magic and is defeated when they break a crystal thing that causes the power to turn on her (she comes back though)

Manipulative, evil, seductive

Perfect voice, 10/10

And then, Gali?

The first time I heard her voice after not watching the movie for a long time, it was very jarring. Kathleen Barr does a decent job, and it's not like she hasn't voiced other good characters with a similar sort of wise and calm vibe (Kimono from MLP G3, Aunt Elisabeth from Barbie Nutcracker, Gaaki from Web of Shadows). I just feel as Gali she sounds like she's using her stately villain voice (she also has a melodramatic villain voice cf. Trixie, Eris).

I feel bad criticising it, because it's not a bad performance, but it was not how I imagined Gali sounding. I really should point out that I mean 'how I imagined her sounding after I got back into Bionicle', since obviously as a kid this was how I imagined her voice since I heard it so early on. It's on the right track, but it's just a fraction off. The more I hear it the less it bugs me though and I think in some scenes (e.g. the healing scene) she sounds better.

Random Archie Sonic Character Headcanons Pt. 3 Most of These Guys are Gonna Make you go Who?.

Link to parts 1 and 2. I need a small break from the Echidna Horde. I'll go back to them later.

Posey Possum: Complete bookworm. She and her friend Sheldon are near inseparable and work incredibly well as a team in terms of organising and planing things from events to activities. Has a good work ethic and loves sorting through things to catalogue them. Hates when people belittle or trash talk places of learning or cool people like Sonic.

Biggest strength is her positive attitude to learning and her biggest weakness is her lack of physical strength, something she shares in common with Sheldon.

Princess Bee: Very shy around people outside of her butler, Jeepers, the young princess would burst into tears if anyone aside from another bee approached her. Benjy and Ray patiently coaxed her out of her shell and found out her name was Trixie and that Eggman's attack on the Golden Hive Colony and subsequent stay at Haven made her scared of everyone. Genuinely kind, she tries her best despite her very young age.

Almost the polar opposite of Charmy in terms of personality. Trixie is sadly amazing at losing things, as good as her brother is at finding them.

Fly Fly Freddy: Once a respected spy, Fly Fly Freddy became a recluse, living in a deep forest in the middle of nowhere after being robotised, rebuilt and finally restored by the Bem. Being betrayed by his boss, wrecked by Knuckles and undergoing the many procedures Freddy did drained his mental fortitude, making him unable to keep up with his old and new colleagues alike. However, all was not lost. Princess Sally found him and convinced Freddy to help a small team of freedom fighters who really needed someone to guide them.

Leading the way, Freddy became the co-leader of Feral Forest FF alongside Megan Acorn's father Joss.

Hope Kintobor: Team Dark considered her the mascot of the team, but one could say she's the heart of the team. She would wage war if anything happened to them, especially Omega. After Snivley royally fucked up, Omega helped Hope channel her hurt and frustrations into designing weapons and tools. When she is not tinkering with things, she loves going to the local malls to run around and get some trinkets. (Also unknowingly scout the places for Rouge so she can steal things from any new jewellers that may show up.)

Her favourite possession is a keychain that looks suspiciously like Sonic and Shadow holding hands with the tagline "Teamwork makes the dreamwork"

Knothole Knuts: After the band broke up during Eggman's purge of Knothole, and the hiring of Sharps the Parakeet, Max the monkey and Mach the rabbit, the old band relocated to Feral Forest. Just in time to be caught in the middle of a huge battle. Tired of running, they joined up with Joss and Fly Fly Freddy and used their music to distract enemies enabling the others to attack. They ended up becoming members of the Feral Forest FF.

Galactica, Chapter 2 (Group Fic) - TheDane/Veronica

A/N: Okay so, to be honest, we really thought that we were doing this for ourselves and that maybe a few people would read it. The fact that so many of you guys have been SO kind and supportive is just lovely and we are infinitely grateful for you all!! Here is Chapter 1. Here’s a link to AO3 if you’d prefer to read there. 💫

Last Chapter: Violet received the thrilling news that Fame intends to promote her to design as soon as she finds and trains a new assistant.

This Chapter: We meet the other department heads.

***

Violet looked out on the conference table one final time, consulting the list in her notebook to make sure that nothing was forgotten. It was Wednesday morning, the 9am monthly creative meeting starting in less than 15 minutes.

The table was set with a light breakfast spread, no one but Trixie and Alyssa ever actually eating at these things, but she had made sure there was a selection of fruits, and that everyone had their favorite beverages besides the ginormous coffee order. Keeping track of the department heads and their various likes and dislikes was almost a job in itself, but Violet had gotten it down to a science.

There were frosted Pellegrinos for Fame, Raja preferring grapefruit juice. Alyssa liked Redbull, Alaska preferred diet Doctor Pepper, Trixie was a regular coke kind of guy while Pearl was a wildcard, but Violet had a good feeling about the chocolate milkshake, since she had heard the rumor that Pearl had been out partying.

Violet had spent most of last night writing the job description for the new assistant, falling asleep with her notebook in hand, only to wake up in a panic at 3 am to realize that the electricity was out yet again. She had slept restlessly for the rest of the night, then missed her first alarm, barely making it to her gym for a shower before coming in to work at 7.30 sharp, and while Violet knew she looked flawless, it felt fundamentally wrong to take a stop at her gym without working out.

The only bright spot so far had been how HR had accepted her initial proposal right away, giddiness bubbling in her chest at the thought that the process of finding her replacement was actually happening.

“- and don’t forget to bring the swatches.”

Raja Amrull was standing by the window, her phone to her ear, a cup of coffee already at her lips as she spoke to her assistant.

Raja Amrull was the chief creative officer, co-founder of Galactica and one of Fame’s very best friends. Violet took a moment to watch her as she gave order after order, her voice filled with a natural authority that always made Violet’s stomach do a flip.

Raja was wearing a mustard fitted pantsuit, the black hair that almost reached her waist put in intricate braids, and Violet knew it was the work of her girlfriend. Raja’s tan skin was practically glowing in the morning sun, the dark brown tattoos on her left hand standing out.

Even though she was in her 40s, 41 if Violet remembered correctly, she still looked every bit the supermodel she had been in the 00’s.

Raja wasn’t a naturally sweet person, but in Violet’s opinion that didn’t matter. She was competent and got her business done, which was something Violet admired in a leader.

“Violet?”

Violet blushed, the sound Raja’s voice cutting through her daydream. She had been so caught up in watching her that she hadn’t actually paid attention, but Raja had never been known for her patience, so she simply snapped, pointing at the room's thermostat, and Violet quickly made her way over, turning it down four degrees to the temperature she knew Raja preferred.

She felt like an idiot for forgetting, and she promised herself that it wouldn’t happen again.

Alaska, head of makeup and fragrances, was the first to arrive. The blonde wasn’t particularly talkative before her third cup of coffee, her every word drawn out in long lazy vowels. Alyssa came second, Violet counting her blessings that the marketing director had shown up on time. Alyssa always got the job done, but getting her anywhere on schedule was always an experience, the woman forever off in her very own world where she was the star of everything.

Fame was third, her first words as she stepped through the door, “Why is no one ready?” and Violet felt her stomach clench.

The meeting wasn’t scheduled to start for another 10 minutes, but that was one of the most terrifying things about Fame. She was never early, she was never late, everyone else was simply supposed to be there the exact moment she wanted them.

Violet was just about to open her mouth to apologize for Pearl, when the woman in question came in through the door.

“Morning everyone.” Pearl smiled, her voice a slow drawl. She was wearing a black turtleneck crop top, a black miniskirt and Violet was pretty sure she could see pieces of golden glitter in her unwashed blonde locks.

Alaska waved, but Fame gave her one single slow judgemental once-over, the kind that Violet had witnessed cause several interns to burst into tears.

“What are you wearing?” Fame’s voice was icy cold, but Pearl only smirked.

“You don’t like it?”

“Did you sleep in your makeup?” Fame reached out, touching Pearl’s chin with a single finger and tilting her head up, turning her face from side to side. “You know how I feel about this mistreatment of your skin.”

Fame dropped her hand, and Violet immediately handed her a tissue. Fame wiped her fingers, giving the now crumpled paperback to Violet, the whole exchange taking less than 10 seconds.

“You smell like an illegal teen party.”

“It’s because I’ve been to one.” Pearl smiled brightly, Fame’s disapproval and rudeness clearly not touching her at all. “Wait until you see the photos. Half the partygoers were wearing our newest print. Trixie was absolutely right-”

Just as Fame said those words, Trixie pushed through the door, the senior creative team of Galactica now all present, to Violet’s relief.

“You rang?” he said with a cheeky grin, earning a fist bump from Pearl.

It had taken Violet months to realize how much of a genius Trixie actually was--his close-shaven brown hair, obvious bald spot, a fondness for colorful t-shirts and love handles all doing everything they could to hide that he was one of the main forces behind Galactica’s success. But Trixie (who’s real name was Brian, though Violet had never heard anyone call him that) was wildly creative, known for his effective management style and outside the box thinking.

While Raja handled the broad creative direction and was the face of the company to customers and consumers, Trixie was in charge of the day to day operations of the design departments. He ruled the design atelier and the tailoring department with a gentle touch, though no one dared cross him, Trixie just as willing as anyone else in the boardroom to do what it took to get the job done.

“I’m sorry I’m late-” Trixie yawned, barely hiding it behind his hand.

“I take it the collection is going well?” Raja smirked, her knife cutting through an apple.

“Don’t even ask.” Trixie groaned, sitting down in a chair, grabbing the coffee - two-pump caramel, whole fat milk - Violet delivered to his hand and drinking it down greedily. “My machine broke and ate most of my prototype.”

“So it’s not here?” Fame raised a brow, but Trixie shook his head, reaching into the paper bag he had brought along.

“I’ve been remaking it all night on Katya’s shitty theater machine.”

“Oh, my poor darling.” Fame leaned against the edge of the table, gently running a hand through Trixie’s buzzed hair. “We’ll get you a new one.” “Thank you.” Trixie smiled, and Violet grabbed her notebook, knowing that Fame without a doubt expected her to find the exact same machine Trixie had broken and get it delivered to his apartment before the workday was over.

***

A knock caught Violet’s attention. She was back in the office, writing out her to-do list from the meeting, her nails clacking away on the keyboard.

“Violet?” Max Malaphany was standing in the door, a smile on his lips. “Is she in?”

Max was an impossibly tall British man, his soft short hair grey, his eyes blue.

“Sorry,” Violet quickly pressed save, turning her chair. “Fame is in a meeting, but I can pencil you in for later?”

Max was Galactica’s main photographer, and one of Fame’s treasured darlings. He had a studio on the top floor, his sure hands and endless patience capturing all in house media, Galactica producing every single shot for their website themself, and while Violet wouldn’t have believed it made that much of a difference, their online portfolio had thousands and thousands of visitors every single day.  

“I’ll just wait here.” Max was carrying a portable light table under his arm, and Violet could only guess what would be in his backpack. “I’ll only be a moment.”

If it had been anyone else, she would have protested, ushered them out of her little front office one way or the other, but Max was different. He was one of the few calming presences at Galactica, he never probed, rarely gossiped, and Violet truly enjoyed that about him.

“Do you want some water?” Violet had a mini-fridge under her desk stocked with the most important supplies, since she never knew when Fame’s cravings or the mood of her guests would strike.

“I’d love that.”

She quickly grabbed him a water, and Max settled down in one of the plush armchairs normally reserved for visitors. He didn’t start talking, wasn’t trying to make chit chat that would inevitably turn awkward, which was why Violet had allowed him to stay.

She went back to her memo, working for a little while but her eyes were stinging, and she only barely managed to hide a yawn behind her hand.

“Are you feeling alright, Violet?” Max asked gently.

“What?” In spite of her exhaustion, Violet was in a fairly good mood, and while she didn’t have the sunniest disposition, she wasn’t actively annoyed at the moment. She quickly checked her face in the glass door to the office, smoothing down her hair.

“You look lovely as always, Violet.” Max smiled. “I was only asking because, well, I’ve never seen you slouch before. Are you feeling unwell?”

“Oh…” Violet straightened her back, her fingers in her thick black locks. “I’m fine. Thanks.”

“Okay.” Max nodded. His expression was so understanding, his manner so patient, that Violet did something she rarely ever did. She offered more information.

“I’m just tired, I-” Violet swallowed down a nervous chuckle, her tongue feeling like it was growing in size in her mouth. “I don’t sleep well these days. The electricity in my building, isn’t, it isn’t very stable, and I keep having these nightmares where my phone runs out of charge so I miss an important call and-”

“Oh dear.”

Violet realized how stupid she had to sound, but she had woken up covered in sweat thinking she had missed calls from Fame, any rest she got broken up by the worry that she wasn’t doing her job.

“I’m sorry. It’s nothing to worry about really,” Violet assured him. “The landlord said they’ll rewire the building-” Max didn’t need to know that her landlord had been promising that exact thing the entire time Violet had been living there, but she didn’t really have any other options, her student debt way too much for her to even consider spending another penny on rent. “I’m sure it’ll work itself out.”

“Well, I wish you the best of luck with that,” he said sincerely. Just then, the door opened and Jaida, the company's CFO, came out.

“Max!” Fame appeared in the doorway, a delighted smile on her face.

Violet’s stomach turned to ice, everything in her begging that Fame hadn’t heard her complain.

“Hello Miss. I know you’re terribly busy, but I wondered if you could spare a few minutes to discuss the test shoot for the new brochures yesterday?”

“Of course, anything for you!” Fame said. She truly was a different person in Max’s presence, Violet noted. Softer and calmer--as most people were.

“Wonderful.”

***

“Oh I don’t know about this light for orange, it’s so ghastly-” Fame was chewing her lip, a lens in her hand as she went over the pictures Max had brought in for her.

“Fame?”

“Yes dearest?” Fame looked up. She loved Max. When Pearl had told her of a British wildlife photographer she had met in LA and bullied into taking her picture, Fame hadn’t been interested. As always, Pearl had proven to have an eye for talent that few could compete with, her social media director not only able to sniff out trends like a bloodhound, no, she knew people, and she knew them instantly.

Max had a rare talent for capturing the natural beauty of an unnatural world, so much of fashion made up of things that didn’t matter, but when he shot, when he turned his lens on someone, he captured all the best they could offer each and every time.

“I heard Ivy moved in with her boyfriend.”

“Mmh?” It was indeed true. Raja’s assistant, Ivy, had been living in the building Fame and Patrick owned for a few years. Fame and Raja had almost gotten in a fight, something that never happened, when Ivy’s house in Queens had been torn down, but in the end Raja had gotten her will, Ivy moving into the studio apartment on the top floor. “She left two weeks ago.”

Fame had meant to find someone else to take the apartment, but that building was special. It wasn’t just an apartment complex, it was a place where she kept her chosen ones, a safe haven she offered to talent that she trusted.

“You know, Violet doesn’t have reliable electricity. In her building. I mean.”

“Oh Max.” Fame smiled, touching Max’s knee. “You have always had such a tender heart.”

[theinsanecrayonbox]

well it was supposed to be FCBD (yes i know “postponed”), and it’s been a terrible day thus far, so how’s about my plot outline/list for what was going to happen in Superverse before it went on hiatus...because at this point it would either be another time skip past all/most of this or a full on hard reboot if we went back to it at this point

to start off, the STT was going to continue with Chloe struggling to be leader since Tim’s around, and everyone keeps going to him a bit more than her...well half of everyone. it culminates with Time leaving to  go restart the Power pals, since well, he’s nearing 20 at this point. and the STT was getting quite a large roster, so the older members went with him, while the younger stayed and Chloe once again could be the leader.

Kevin would’ve met Junior at some point (because who doesn’t like amophus daemons). Trudy also got herself a girlfriend in the form of Susan C. Anthony, a bank heiress, who does not have powers.

Tootie was going to eventually come back (idk when or how) as Shadow Stalker. again, her return was farther down the line, so i don’t have the details that well ironed out...

Chester had already left Star Investigations because Mari had called him to a reading of Catman’s will. he did indeed inherit half of West Industries, as the young Adam was posing as a long lost son and thus was legally entitled to half the company too. Chester took over as Catman, while Mari stayed on to help Adam deal with the company. Chester would join Tim’s new Power Pals, thus finally fixing their broken friendship.

Trixie and Trini were going to head to Glamazon Island after they defeated Hair Razor. Trini’s lasso was destroyed in the fight, so they figured maybe she could use this reality’s lasso. Trixie’s powers were also starting to flare up, so they were also hoping to get some answers to that. once there they get to see that Goldenlocks has had her son, and they get to meet Hermia (whom Dwight was dropping off). they both end up going through a mystical trial of sorts that ended with Trini not getting the golden lasso of this universe, but her own silver one forged for her; Trixie on the other hand gets flashes of Cel’rey and Trisha, and the mystical voices tell her that she needs to go to England, leading into a Star/Sonic crossover event

over with Sonic and Paladin, it’s business as usual. however, CHATTY is starting to get hyper aggressive since Sanjay and Francis are starting to renew their romance.the team has to take her out, but in the ensuing battle their complex looses power for some time. this leads to 1) Sanjay learning that Britannia has blackmail over every member of Paladin and 2) it jump starts Molly out of her coma. Molly goes full Phoenix force though, as she absorbed the Light from Trixie at the end of Civil War (thus leading to her coma). this is when Trixie and Trini arrive more or less, so they help Paladin wrangle Molly back in and Trixie is able to reabsorb the Light, getting her powers back, and becoming Star-Gal once more. this also leaves Molly awake and permanently able to fly.

it would soon become revealed that BRAT, headed by Doombringer (the life hopping sorceress from King Arthur’s time), had been bankrolling Paladin (she also had a hand in funding Shallowgrave’s Civil War, and had the Summers killed, among other things). how is it revealed? because Crimson Lightning comes back into play once Sanjay and Francis are together again as the annoying jealous ex that he is. they manage to get him under control thanks to Molly’s help, but Alyssa ends up with the demon sword, becoming the Black Knight.

Trini goes and joins Tim’s Power Pals, while Trixie gets called back into space. First she finds and frees Hawkgal, then the two go out into space. Remember the ice guy Star Investigations helped out? well he sends a distress call to Trixie; her mentor Killgala is back some how...and the Darkness is also en-couching. Mark and Starfury also join up with them, ad they would in time find a version of Crash Nebula. the whole Light/Darkness mythos was also better explained, about how at the time of creation the cosmos split, thus leading to the Darkness and the Light; both energies became corrupted in different ways (the Light Corp imprisoning and using the Light, the Darkness going power hungry and creating the Eliminator drones, etc) and only by genuinely reuniting them could there be balance or something. that’s all cosmic stuff that i hadn’t fully fleshed out, since we needed to get past the Cosmic Cat stuff...

of course one minor subplot; Hermia would use Trixie and Trini’s existence as an excuse to escape Glamazon Island, claiming to go back to the mainland to go live with them, only to instead go shack up with Liam (the young Wet Willie). Trini, since she joins the Power pals, is the one to find that out, and gets royally peeved. but Hermia eventually takes over her spot on the team.

over in Eraserz, the team was going to get stuck going on a World Tour, being cut off from the Nexxus because some force was screwing up the multiverse. they would end up in a Mojoverse-like setting where they’d meet a half-editor entity (i forget who it was, might’ve been the April Fool or Puck). they’d pick up some temporary members, like the Franklin West Catman (who ends up staying in his reality), Charlie Hampton, the young Crimson Chin (who ends up on an alternate earth where the Power pals and STT had tehir age roles reversed, but there was no Chin, so he stays with that earth’s teenage Goldie) and some more permanent ones like RJ; specifically when they recruit RJ, Shirely stayed out of the Primeverse to do so (this was plot important) but so did Tony because he didn’t wanna risk running into Trini; RJ was recruited BEFORE Trini joined the Power Pals though. Tony would end up going missing while the team was hunting for an entity that was killing off alternate Trixie tangs, so they called in Trini to rejoin the team. somewhere along the line, RJ got stuck in a time displacement, and wound up on Earth 0 (the world that Shirely was exiled to) in the past; see, since RJ joined up, Shirely had been half avoiding, half flirting with him, and he was just starting to come around to it, but now he understood why, because from Shirely’s perspective they'd already dated. so RJ spends time with the past Shirely, is the one that convinces him not to be a prick and help the Eraserz when they come to him to take down Dark magician and co, and he ends up going back to his proper time, and the two of them pick back up tehir relationship where it left off. (this is all every important because as it would be revealed, Shirley and RJ are actually Tru Turner/Double T/FTT’s Masked Magician’s parents. Tim and Toot adopted her to keep her safe. that’s why she has such cosmic power, because she’s half Editor).

we were also going to learn more about Maggie’s backstory, since on the surface she seems like the only Eraserz member without a horrible tragic backstory, but as the plot progressed we’d keep getting hints to something. yeah, she has a Winter Solider!Kevin on her earth, and she kinda had to kill her cousin to save lives. but turns out she didn’t really kill him or something, because they end up on her world at some point and find out that she was manipulated to think she had?? something like that...i also had no intention to ever bring Kore back, so yeah, he’s dead-dead.

anyways, the Trixie hunting entity; that’s the Dark Star-Gal from that one special. she’s the Trixie that merged with the Darkness (since the Darkness wants to consume the Light, that we know she was the vessel for) and became self aware of the multiverse and started reality hopping to consume all Trixies. the Eraserz stop her...only to discover that the reason that Dark Star became aware of the multiverse was because the Showrunner gave her access...the Showrunner  that has been MIA since the Eliminatorz were stopped.

 the Showrunner was the one now causing the multiverse to start collapsing and breaking down because, to him, “this isn’t what the universe was supposed to be like”. he created one canon, and then another entity (the fandom) came in and started breaking it up, making spin offs, AUs, different versions, creating the multiverse. so he broke that entity up into pieces and scattered them across the multiverse, then created the Editors to police the multiverse to make sure the pieces couldn’t get back together (thus the universe rule of only 1 version of a person can exits there at a time) and slowly try to correct and remove the “wrong” universes. but the Editors grew out of his control as they evolved, so he created the Eraserz to, well, “erase’ the mistakes. but even they went against his plans, so he decided to just leave and just erase everything. but the pieces of the greater entity did find a way to come together, (a fragment of?) Omegus managed to hitch a ride with RJ when the Eraserz recruited him. Omegus then overtook Tony who bore the mark of Beteal, who went to Dark Magician to take the powers that Anosmotic, aka Zethran, had given him away, undoubtedly found a way to the Nega-verse to confront Alphane, and so on and so forth (if you hadn’t noticed, each reality that had an Omegus equivalent had a different name, and now you know why)...until all the pieces could be reunited, possibly in the body of CoT!Saber actually, into one being called Omnicron.

and the final confrontation of the Showrunner and Omnicron would be in the vast void as the multiverse was set on pause as it crumbled. the Showrunner claiming that Omnicron had destroyed the thing he had created, only for Omnicron to be all “i saw what you created and wanted to create my own. you helped me flourish, and then i helped others flourish. how can growth and creativity be the wrong thing to do?” because no, Omnicron did not destroy the multiverse, it was indeed the Showrunner; Omnicron took what the Showrunner had made and let it flourish on its own, while he just tried to contain it back into what he made it to be to begin with.

and so yeah, that’s what i had planned for Superverse. some thing were far more fleshed out than others, but those were the parts i’d had planned for YEARS. i had the Omnicron stuff planned before Civil War, while the Cosmic Cat i had planned since Civil War

7/10 - Good Episode 

I honestly don’t have a lot to say about this episode. It was good plain and simple.

That season long community is rearing its head again.

Great characterization all around. Especially Thorax and Trixie. Every time we see Thorax I love him even more.

Starlight was a dictator confirmed by her own words.

I’m happy that Embers advice helped but I’m a little sad we didn’t get to see the rebellious changelings bar Pharynx.

Speaking of  Pharynx I loved his voice, so gravely and cool a complete contrast to Thoraxs high pitched and nerdy voice. Heck all the new changeling voices were a hoot to hear.

Turns out just cause the Changelings changed doesn’t mean they still can’t be jerks.

Also two new really cool Equestrian creatures, the Malworf and the bug Pharynx changed into. I feel like the Malworf and the Tatlzworm are cousins cause their names, designs and even location remind me of each other. We need a name for desert based Equestrian creatures like them. Also BABY CHANGELING DESIGNS!! Awwww! Now artists have hatchling Changeling and baby Changeling designs.

Thorax is doing a great job as leader but I mean with help from Twilight, Ember, and (I’m assuming off screen) Princess Celestia and maybe Cadence how can he go wrong? Also good on him calling Starlight out.

Pharynx's design is awesome and kinda confirms that antlers on a Changeling are a sign of authority/royalty. Guess hes Thoraxs second in command/co-leader now. Hes kinda Princess Luna to Thoraxes Princess Celestia. Hooray for more Co Ruling Siblings!  

Also from what we know about the Changelings their all related so them being “brothers” doesn’t make sense (besides making him distinct to the audience). So I like to think the he and Thorax being “brothers” means they were born in a cluster like spider eggs and came out together. Cause Thorax called him his broodmate so its probably an Changeling evolutionary thing to have a partner/closer sibling to protect each other. 

So overall great chilled out episode with some development/new info on the Changelings and their new developing good culture plus a little of their old bad culture, cool new creatures, the great new character that is Pharynx, and some more antics with the Starixe combo.

P.S. I really really hope in the future we see Changelings out and about in background of Equestria like they did with the Crystal ponies when they were introduced.

A Study in Pink; trixya (ch.2) -erin

a/n; hi everyone!! I hope people enjoyed chapter one, and if not, oh well. again, please feel free to submit your thoughts, critiques, or questions to the aq ask!! thank you for reading, also let me know if I should include my twitter handle in the next chapter?? love y'all <3

Trixie could barely sleep. Tomorrow was the meeting for Delta Gamma. She had thought Alaska, Willam, and Courtney were nice, but what if it was just a scheme to get the ugly girl there? They just want to make fun of me. Trixie tossed and turned in her pink blanket, looking over at the alarm clock next to her bed. 3:09 a.m. Five hours til her first class. She had gone to turn around when she heard a voice from the bed next to her. “Can’t sleep either?” Adore asked, scaring Trixie shitless. “Yeah, but now my heart is beating three time as much as it was before.” Trixie said, making Adore laugh. “Sorry, I guess I have that effect on people.” Trixie caught up with her breathing and talked to Adore. “Not to be weird, but how are you so confident?” Trixie finally asked, genuinely wondering. From the moment she had met Adore, she was intrigued by her charismatic, loud personality. She would dance in front of a gym full of people (which she did yesterday) and not give a single fuck. “Well, to start, thanks. But I don’t see myself as confident. Sure, I love myself more than before, but it’s not about being confident. It’s about showing people you are, even if it’s pretending. Eventually, you’ll believe it, along with everyone else.” Adore let out. “Plus, life is too short not to streak on campus or eat that sixth slice of pizza.” They both laughed, enjoying each other’s company. Life is too short. “Good night, Adore. I hope you get some sleep.” Trixie said, turning over to face the wall again. “Good night, Barbie.”

           Trixie’s first official day of classes were today and she had never been so nervous. She threw up her breakfast, slightly smudging her makeup. She had decided to wear a pink flowy, lacey dress with white Keds. Normally she always wore her heels, but wanted to seem a little more casual for people’s first impression. She put on a swipe of pink lipstick and she was out the door. Renaissance History, 8:15 a.m., Lincoln Building, Room 290 Trixie’s schedule read. Pearl only had one class with her and it was only once a week. This class was twice a week since Trixie wanted to get it done to move onto another class. Great.

Of course, Trixie was the first one in the class. She sat a little off to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She took out all of her utensils and supplies and ordered them perfectly in front of her. She had been doodling in her notebook when another student walked in. Trixie’s heart skipped a beat. She wore a red long-sleeved body suit with a black lacy skirt. Her tightly curled blonde hair cascaded over her tiny chest. She had white acrylic nails and a bright red lipstick on. Her eyes sparkled, looking like waves in the ocean when they crash over each other. She had a skinny, ballerina build but looked like she could kick anyone’s ass if need be. Trixie had never seen a more beautiful girl. They made eye contact once she walked in. “Hi!” the blonde said to Trixie, showing off her pearly teeth. Trixie smiled, hoping she wasn’t blushing. “Hey” she responded, trying to keep her cool. “Any seat? Full house tonight, I guess.” the girl said, motioning to all the empty chairs in the lecture hall. Trixie laughed. “Guess so” Trixie responded, trying to sound chill. The girl smiled, and picked a seat that was diagonally in front of her. The other girl took out her supplies, Trixie noticing every little detail and quirk. All of her notebooks were either black or white, she had plain wooden pencils, all black pens, and a planner that looked like she had doodled all over it. Trixie looked at her matching stationary and sparkly mechanical pencils and suddenly felt embarrassed. I’m so extra. The class was filling up when a girl showed up right in front of Trixie. “This seat taken?” she asked. Trixie looked at the girl’s darker complexion, her makeup done beautifully to compliment her skin. “Nope, all yours.” Trixie said, smiling at the girl. The other girl thanked her and took her seat. Trixie looked over at the girl’s stuff to find her name. Barbara. The other girl caught her looking and Trixie immediately figured she was either about to be yelled at or punched in the face. But the other girl smiled. “Don’t listen to that name, it’s Bob. How about you?” Bob said with a friendly, welcoming tone to her voice. “Beatrice. But don’t listen to that name, it’s Trixie.” she said, smiling at Bob. Trixie quickly glanced at the beautiful blonde from earlier and saw her looking at Trixie. She quickly turned away and Trixie could feel the heat going to her cheeks. She knew she was going to like this class.

~

           Trixie sat in her dorm, having just finished her homework, and touching up her makeup. She looked down at her Delta Gamma pamphlet. September 3rd, 6-10 meeting and social party! Be there or be square! Pictures of pretty, skinny, tall girls smiling in their skimpy outfits covered the first page. Trixie desperately looked for a girl that looked anything like her, but there were none. This is stupid. There was a knock at her door. “Come in” Trixie said, going back to her makeup. It was Pearl. “I wanna come to this little gathering. What is it, Delta Ganger??” she asked, completely oblivious to the actual name. “Delta Gamma. And I thought you were too cool for sororities.” Trixie said, mocking Pearl. “Ha ha ha, very funny. Yeah, they’re a little overrated but I can settle since this cute, brunette vixen is gonna be there tonight.” Pearl said, putting her tongue between her pointer and middle finger. Trixie rolled her eyes and laughed again. “Oh okay, you try that.” Trixie said. She never thought of it, but the possibility of the beautiful girl from her Renaissance class being there tonight was big. This was the most popular sorority on campus! But at the same time, Trixie figured the girl was too cool for it. “Wake up, bitch! Stuck in la la land.” Pearl said, snapping at Trixie, who was caught up in her own thoughts again. “Sorry, I do that a lot.”

           They had walked over to the mansion the sorority stayed in and it was covered in pink streamers, balloons, confetti, everything from a party decoration section. Trixie could see Willam from here. “Hey bitch!! Glad you could make it, we’re just starting, take a seat in the living room.” Willam said, practically pushing Trixie and Pearl into the mansion. Trixie couldn’t believe her eyes. It looked like a mini castle, with sparkly white walls, marble floors, shimmering chandeliers, and a grand golden staircase that led to the rooms. They walked into the living room only to be stared at by 40 other girls wanting to be in this house as much as Trixie did. They stood in the back since all of the couches and the chairs had been taken up. Trixie scanned the room for the girl from her Renaissance class, but there were too many blondes to even tell. “Hi everyone! Please settle down, we have LOADS to discuss.” Courtney said, trying to get everyone’s attention despite her tiny build. Everyone quieted down and focused on Courtney, Willam, and Alaska. “Hello everyone, I’m Courtney, and welcome to the first meeting of Delta Gamma!! We have roughly 45 girls here and we only take about 20, so we take the best of the best! We do not haze, but we do review the questionnaire forms you will receive later very vigorously. Once you pass the questionnaire, you will be asked to have an interview with myself, the head of the sorority, and my two co-leaders, Willam and Alaska.” Courtney explained. Trixie looked around the room, seeing all of these prettier, skinnier, hotter girls. Why would you get accepted here when they could have Pearl? Trixie asked herself. She found herself stuck in her thoughts until she noticed everyone else around her stand up. “Wait, what’s going on?” Trixie asked Pearl. “Miss Bitch Pants finished her monologue so now we’re going into the function room for mixing and mingling!” Pearl said, mocking Courtney’s Australian accent. They walked into the next room and it seemed like it was as big as the gym on campus. There were tables set up with cute little centerpieces and tables full of food and drinks and candies. Trixie made sure to watch what she ate that night since she wanted to look her best for this sorority. “Wanna eat?” Pearl asked, motioning to the food. Trixie nodded and they walked over. Pearl was a vegetarian, so all she ate was one of the many salads they had to offer and some bread and butter. Trixie basically did the same, adding some pasta with hers. Trixie had went to turn to get a drink when her and another girl collided, their dinners on the floor and themselves. Everyone stopped to look at them. Trixie could feel their eyes burning through her dress. Her cheeks went bright red and she ducked down to the floor to pick up her mess. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to, I should’ve been watching where I was going.” Trixie rambled on, too scared to look up at the other girl. “It’s fine, really, I shouldn’t have been rushing to the ravioli that quick.” the other girl said, laughing it off. They both laughed and Trixie looked up at her. It was her. It was the girl from the Renaissance class. “Oh, hey! I know you, you’re in my Renaissance class, aren’t you?? Beat me to class today, bitch!” the girl said, joking around. Trixie blushed, not able to believe she remembered her. “Uh, yeah. Sorry, I’ll walk a little slower next time.” Trixie said, trying to joke back. They both stood up. “Wanna clean up with me? I bet they have Tide pens in the bathrooms here.” the other girl said, motioning her head out of the function room. Trixie nodded, and followed her out the room.

           The girls made their way to the bathroom after five minutes of getting lost in possibly the most complex hallway Trixie had ever seen. Trixie hadn’t been able to get her eyes off of the other girl. She had changed her outfit so now she was wearing tight, black leather pants, a white lacey blouse, and boots that went just under her knee. Her curly blonde hair was pinned back in the front, showing off her beautiful, precise cheekbones. Trixie thought she looked like an ancient sculpture, everything made to perfection. “Well, they don’t have Tide pens, but we can work with soap and warm water.” the girl said, grabbing paper towels and wetting it with lukewarm water. She pumped some of the foamy vanilla soap on the towel and mixed it in. “Here, dab don’t rub.” she said, instructing Trixie how to get a stain out. Trixie bit her lip trying to conceal her dorky smile. The girl got a paper towel of her own and they worked at getting the pasta sauce and Italian dressing out of their tops. “So where are you from?” the girl asked, looking at Trixie through the bathroom mirror. “Milwaukee. And you?” Trixie asked, desperate to learn more about her. “Well, Russia for the first eleven years of my life. Moved to Boston, and now I’m here.” she explained. Russia? Why is she so cool? “What’s your major?” Trixie asked, hoping she wasn’t overstepping her boundaries. “Undecided. You?” “Music.” Trixie responded. The girl nodded. “Figured maybe cosmetology, since your makeup and hair are so beautiful.” she said, making Trixie’s heart skip a beat. She tried concealing the red in her cheeks, but she couldn’t. “Thank you, but you’re even more stunning.” Trixie responded. The other girl smiled. She looked at the stain. “Good enough. How are you doing over there?” she asked, looking at Trixie. Trixie had been too caught up in talking to her she was barely getting the stain out. “Uhh, not too good. Probably never going to come out at this rate.” Trixie said, feeling a little pathetic. The girl smiled sweetly at her and walked closer to Trixie. “Let me help, dollface.” the girl said, only inches away from Trixie’s face, dabbing at the spots above her tits. Trixie got a warm, tingly feeling all throughout her body. What I’d do to kiss this girl right now. The girl had licked her thumb and tried that. “Hope you don’t mind.” the girl said, basically palming Trixie’s breast. Trixie gulped. “Not at all.” Did she know damn well what she was doing?? Or was she that naïve? “Alright, that’ll do for now, but put it in the wash when you get home, okay?” she instructed, not moving away from Trixie. Their lips were about six inches apart. Trixie could only nod. The girl looked at Trixie’s lips. “I like that lipstick. Suits them well.” the girl said, smirking devilishly. Trixie faked a smile, trying to contain herself. The other girl locked eyes with Trixie. “So what’s your name, pretty girl?” she asked. Trixie knew very well that this girl heard Trixie say her name earlier and just wanted to flirt. “Trixie. Trixie Mattel. How about you?” Trixie managed to let out, trying to keep her cool. “Long version? Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova. Short version? Katya.” she said, with a sexy tone to her voice. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Life is too short. Trixie thought about kissing Katya, thinking about her soft, red lips mixing with Trixie’s plump, pink lips. But she contained herself. “I hope we meet again, Katya, my knight in shining leather pants.” Trixie said, looking down at her stain. Katya laughed, showing off her gorgeous smile, once again. “The feeling’s mutual, Trixie. I hope I won’t have to kick you out to make it in the sorority..” Katya said, teasing Trixie as she opened the door. Trixie smiled. “OKAY, bitch” Trixie said, giggling with Katya. “Go ahead, I have to make a call.” Trixie said, lying. She didn’t want to walk back with Katya. She had to make sure she didn’t try anything stupid like pinning Katya to a wall and making out with her. “See ya, doll.” Katya said, with a wink, leaving the bathroom. Holy shit, Trixie thought. I’m falling for a Russian whore.
