Zoids Liger Zero Wild Form, by マーシー兎@日曜南モ06a
The topic of wild Zoids came up on Twitter, so I drew a rough sketch of the wild Zero, which I've always wanted to draw. It's been commercialized as a secret Zoids statue trading figure, but I really wanted that one… ('A'). I'd like to have it in the same scale as the HMM Liger Zero, even if it's immobile.

[original drawing date: 26th Nov 2017]
Mira and her Organoid Prism. A couple of fan characters for Zoids (specifically the Chaotic Century continuity or something loosely inspired by it and/or the battle story), who fight in a Buster Tortoise.
I traced the Buster Tortoise from official artwork, btw, god knows there was no way i'd be able to do that by hand lol

Unprompted Raptor appreciation post
Showing some love for my favorite Zoid today.
Raptor is a tiny Zoid from Zoids Wild that is known for constantly losing battles, being easily distracted, and just being silly overall (except Rain, that episode made me cry). I think it looks more like a stumpy alvarezsaurid than a raptor but I'm no expert.
Actual dialogue from Zoids Wild.
HMM Zoids are neat, but I prefer the windup/battery operated ones. I love how it skips along and wags its tail. When it comes to movement it's my top 5 models from charm alone.
Yes I made a plush of it. I don't know where it currently is. The arms and weapon are jointed so you can pose them... somewhat.
Raptoria (the blue one) from Zoids Wild Zero. Which, by the way, you should probably watch if you liked Chaotic Century, I'm begging you. It has cockpits if that's so important to your immersion. I'm just here for the colorful animal-shaped robots.
The main Raptoria is nicknamed Rap-chan and is actually a capable fighter. It's pilot is cute, too but this post is about Raptor.
This one from Zero is very cursed, though. I don't like it. Put the googly eyes back.

Okay, a little announcement
I have a blog on WordPress, and I recently posted this:
Now, to all the Supernatural fans, I will be kind and tell you right now - this is featuring comments, discussions and, perhaps, fanfic that is an AU or rewrite of the Catholic/Christian mindset, and will therefore be un-enjoyable for you. However, that is not the main point of this post.
There are some OCs for this rewrite/AU I have in mind, and I am working on creating them as well as discovering their "voice", if you will. I already have one designed via Hero Forge for visual reference, and will be getting to the (for now) other two at some point, but I fear that Hero Forge often makes the female characters I create seem a little "butch"/gay, and my characters are NOT gay. I do not wish for my female characters, especially the one I just made, to appear gay or repugnant to any viewers or followers I gain on WordPress, and I am looking for artists - preferably Catholics and Christians - who are willing to collaborate with me on this.
Now, to be fair to the other half of this group, I will warn you that I cannot commission you for art. I can't pay for fanart to be made for this, and I mainly just want at most three art pieces for each of my characters. If you are willing to do this collaboration, please let me know, and while I cannot pay you, I will cite you on each post for these characters and post links to your Deviantart/Tumblr accounts so that others will be able to find you and, God willing, be able to pay you for the art they desire.
If you find this interesting and want to help me out, just reblog with comments or ask in the comments on this post. My schedule is a bit wild, but I will do my best to respond to you quickly. If you are a rabid Supernatural fan who wishes to attack me, I will block you because I am not looking for a fight, nor am I attacking you. As a matter of fact, I am not attacking anyone in this fandom: this project of mine is to have fun and get myself accustomed to public interaction that would include the writing world.
So please, if you find that this upsets you, keep scrolling. I do not wish for a fight, but I will not end my ideas, or bend to wills that is not God's Will, simply because you wish me to.
Take care, all of you, and have a blessed day.

Shipper Tag Game
Tagged by the wonderful @4typercent 💖💖💖
What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?
Sasuke x Naruto lol. I absolutely LOVED this ship, wrote fic about, got into shipping wars, I was the absolutely worst kind of teenage obsessed with them ahahaha. I even met one of my longterm best friends though a Yahoo Groups ship forum for them aosidjaiod.
Now? I could care less lmaooooo. But I still hold fondness for the ship regardless.
Which ship would you consider your first one?
My first ship was definitely Mamoru x Usagi in Sailor Moon! I still love them to this day 💖
Your first fanfic was about which couple?
Yami x Yugi was the first ship I wrote for. I think. It may have also been Lena x Cloud from Zoids New Century, I am UNCLEAR on the details and my ff.net account is lost to time lmao.
The first one I ready was something Sailor Moon related I believe.
Do you remember the first couple you saw fan art of?
Usagi x Mamoru from Sailor Moon, definitely.
Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?
SO. DAMN. MUCH. AOSiasjdasidaiodasoidasdjiasdjs. I've almost never gone looking for it, it just found me. The last bout I ended up in I actually ended up actually went okay though! Way better of an experience than any other ship discourse I've gotten into by far.
Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?
I have plenty of NOTPs, none in my current fandom though! I just...there are some ships whose fandoms have ruined the ship for me, so I try very hard to avoid and/or block. Liberally.
Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read?
Dreamling! My beloved pet ship that I've written over 100k words (200k+ across all my Sandman ships) for and counting! 💖
Currently, do you have any OTPs?
I mean...not really? I've always been a multi-shipper at heart, you are going to be hard pressed to find me a ship where that particular combination is the only one I'll accept. I love the idea of an OTP, I just don't have one lmao.
Is there any couple that, to this day, that you are extremely mad about not getting into?
Not really, no. There's some fandoms I WISH I could get into, but either I didn't like the source material (sorry good omens fans, I tried twice D:) or I didn't really like the quality of fic in the fandom just due to characterization differences. But nothing I'm like upset I didn't get into before lol.
Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they're kind of interesting?
Hmmmmm, can't think of one no.
Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
Oh lord, yeah probably. Cannot think of any off the top of my head, but there were some weird ships back in the day.
What is your favourite crack ship?
Ooooooo! Great question. I'm currently trying to think of the most outlandish thing and all I can think of now is that Tony the Tiger x The Grinch fanfic! 🤣
What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?
Probably Dreamling right now! That's mostly due to sheer volume compared to other Sandman ships though.
What do most of your ships have in common?
Feral 4 Feral, and/or Soft Idiots in Love. Sometimes both!
What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
In a ship dynamic? When miscommunication is treated as something romantic, instead of something that needs to be worked on. Also when crossing clearly set boundaries is considered romantic.
In a ship fandom? There's too much to list, but I think the big one is when a ship fandom considers their ship "better" than the other ships in the fandom. Even the canon ship lmao. It just takes away the fun of shipping!

artist ask meme answers
i deleted the reblog to keep my space uncluttered but for reference the meme is here
3. What ideas come from when you were little?
The main characters in the Mez/medieval mech setting - the two knights and two smiths - are all characters from my first writing project. Which didn't resemble Mez at all, it was an alt Earth in which people had powers, and each of the characters I mentioned lived in different parallel dimensions. The story was about "first contact" between parallel dimensions. I started writing that in 2008 (age 14) and finished in 2015. The setting had a lot of technical problems (unsurprisingly) but I couldn't abandon those characters and felt they deserved better than what I had given them
4. Fav character/subject that’s a bitch to draw
Human faces in general. There's a reason I keep blanking out people's features and it's not because I want to be mysterious. I'm highly face blind and have immense trouble even looking at photos of human faces lmao
7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate
I was gonna say physical block printing but actually I do that now (did my first prints yesterday lol). Second place is definitely sculpture, I adore sculptures but it was always my least favourite medium to try myself
12. Easiest part of body to draw
Torso for animals, legs for humans
21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
One of my favourite artists on tumblr is @mech-monster .. I've admired their work for years and as a lover of biomechanical art and aeroplanes it's right up my alley. I think their style is pretty emblematic of "art styles nothing like my own" lol but it's so wonderfully precise and technical. Love it
4. Fav character/subject that’s a bitch to draw
I mentioned faces in general but for a character I find challenging, I really struggle with drawing Pantera!
how could i possibly have known what I was setting myself up for when I made this design. A lot has changed true but its visor helmet thing is a key part of what Pantera is to me, so I can't get rid of it. But drawing that thing head-on is nightmarish
14. Any favorite motifs
I draw a lot of fleur de lises in the Mez setting because I like the design and think it's a nice visual shorthand for the time period. But each knight has their own motif - Victory's flames, Heaven's rounded more floral designs, etc. These reflect Pantera and Leun's primary weapons respectively.
One motif I'm sure everyone has spotted is the barley pattern that accompanies Pascal (modern inver setting), and one or more of his eyes are usually visible in the bg of any art of him (behind his body)
3. What ideas come from when you were little?
Another idea - honestly, the holy beasts (the mechs) in general. I was a massive zoids fan as a kid and I used to collect and build them. I was always fascinated by the setting, particularly the contrast between "ancient" advanced mech technology and the humans' relatively low-tech society (in the original anime/toy line). I wanted to make something like that. I still really enjoy contrasts like these. I mean the holy beasts WERE sort of just.. dug up out of the ground, exactly the same as zoids were
7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate
Hrm honestly traditional painting. It's been years since I did it and I don't have the space or time to pick it up (i chose block printing instead) but I love it
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
If I REALLY want to listen to a certain podcast, I'll often start drawing just so that I'll be able to focus on the podcast and have something to do with my hands at the same time. A lot of my art comes from me just wanting to get through an episode of whatever. In early 2021 that was the magnus archives, these days I'm getting through Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology podcast which i SUPER recommend if you're interested in that kinda thing. It's on spotify
But generally I listen to music. I have a playlist for each setting, and each character in those settings. So if I'm drawing Pascal I'm listening to his playlist which is largely disco these days. Gets me in the mood
anomalydetection asked sanctus-ingenium: 30, 19, 25
30.What piece of yours do you think is underrated
Finbarr & the Moon tarot card!
This is from before I aged up Finbarr from early 20s to mid 40s lol but you could say this is just him as a kid I suppose. But I really like it and all the details I managed to sneak in, and it was what got me started wanting to draw watery scenes more
19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)
Armour!!!! Who doesn't like armour. I also really enjoy drawing clothing from historical eras. Modern clothing and most futuristic/sci-fi ish takes on clothing are solidly boring to me though.
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
ohhh god where do I start. I got an ask comparing it to dangan ronpa recently lmao. Bluecifer. Disco Elysium. The Last Unicorn. Nope (2022 movie). I have nothing against any of them and I enjoyed those last three a lot but my art was not inspired by them and has nothing to do with them.
Also western/cowboy stuff in general. A LOT of people tag my horse art with #cowboy or related tags. I don't mind it but it is something that is not on my cultural radar, and not ever at the forefront of my mind when I draw horse things
3. What ideas come from when you were little
Round 3! Most of the Inver setting is very new (relatively, I mean it has no legacy characters from earlier stuff and I made it all within the past few years) but the decision to use the Púca as the main supernatural entity to base the story on did come from my childhood. My mother used to use Púca interchangeably with Taibhse so there was a lot of talk about him around hallowe'en in general when I was very young. I didn't realise that Púca and Taibhse meant different things until I was older lol but I still associate the Púca with hallowe'en and going out as a kid dressed in a black binbag (I was a scary witch). Because it had this nostalgic connection with my childhood and an era where I believed in scary ghosts and faeries around every corner, it was a very easy decision to make for my Inver setting, where there are in fact scary faeries around every corner

BRUH. Never let your love die!! I have been a hardcore zoid addict for well over … twenty years now (holy crap has it really been that long) and with how many absolutely obscene hiatuses between series (the 12 year drought between Genesis and Wild for example) it would’ve been insane to give up on something because it wasn’t on tv anymore.
But no, fans keep the franchise alive! Love the shows! Give them art and fanfics and new headcanons and stuff! As someone who follows an absolutely RAD person who keeps cranking out awesome Zoid work and stories and ideas (@derangedhyena-zoids, it’s you, you’re the rad person with rad work), I can tell you, just because something isn’t on tv anymore doesn’t mean it’s gone. The fans keep it alive. We are the ones who give shows life! Not the tele! It’s US! The fans!
Not to out myself as someone that’s been on tumblr for too long, but I’m so sad to see this new trend of people saying “I like this thing, even though the show isn’t airing anymore.” Like? That’s how things work! Keep enjoying them! Art doesn’t just vanish when it’s not airing, and it wasn’t made to be exclusively viewed live! 10+ years ago, the idea of saying “Ah, I’m still here in this fandom 2 years after the show was cancelled 😳” would have been BONKERS!
All these kids saying “It’s so sad the shows gone,” no it’s not!!! I saw your fanart yesterday! Last week you told me about my favorite character’s music playlist!!! I saw them running around in your AMV!
Where’s the longevity?? It was made for you!!! Not TV!!! It was made for keeps!!! Keep it!!! Please!!! That’s how art stays alive!!!
#zoids#okay for ME it’s zoids#I will never let zoids die#and derangedhyena-zoids#they really keep it alive#I still love their depiction of my favorite bastard Polta#I am frothing#I am rabid#I WILL NEVER LET MY FANDOMS GO#THEY ARENT DEAD!#I WILL NECROMANCER THESE FANDOMS BACK TO LIFE UNTIL THE DAY I DIE#I wonder how much it costs to get the rights to something#so I can literally never let zoids die#new dream: own zoids. literally. the whole thing#it’ll never happen#I’m too broke#I’m broke from buying zoids#I’m too broke from buying zoids to buy zoids#i’ll shut up now

tl;dr - I put ponies in another fic, but only for a few chapters
So, real quick, minor confession...this fic is actually one of my oldest, and it's not on this site.
Hey, easy, easy, let me explain.
So way back in 2005, I had a flash of inspiration. See, back in the 90s and carrying into the 00s, we didn't really go on forums or (even older) newsgroups if we wanted to avoid spam in our all the everything, we got on mailing lists. The Big One for fanfiction was the good ol' FFML, or "Fan Fiction Mailing List." What fanfiction? Yes. Which fandom? Yes. There was no division of franchises here. You were just as likely to encounter Trek as Xena, everything from Ah, Megami-sama! to Zoids. There was also no curation. The crap was flowing, and caught in the stream would be the occasional diamond, and it was up to YOU to determine which was which. And we called our porn "lemons." If the fic was leaning toward spicy we had a citrus scale. Orange was a little eechi, Lime was "there's plot, but expect to need some 'private time' later on." And so VERY much of it was anime-centric. (Sidebar: The late, lamented MythrilMoth and I first encountered each other while active on FFML)
One of the biggest fandoms in the FFML was Ranma 1/2, with Sailor Moon being a solid second place, though still trailing by quite a margin. It's not a stretch to say that, at the time, Ranma 1/2 was the largest single fandom active in the US-centric portions of the Internet (which, thanks to the heavy hand the USA had in creating the Internet, was a pretty sizeable portion of it). This was objectively provable, too. Not only was there the Penultimate Ranma 1/2 Fanfic Index, something none of the other fandoms needed, let alone had, you could go to fanfiction.net and show a list of ALL the fandoms sorted by number of fics, and the one having more works than any other by a LOOOOONG margin was Ranma 1/2.
So the fandom started curation, which is necessary when you have that many fics. (and the War of the Churches, which is one of the earliest online shipping wars, which is like talking about the Punic Wars when the subject of world wars comes up...and The Bet, which the less said about that, the better) There were so many fics that we had to split them into multiple meta-categories, some of which you'll easily recognize:
Continuation
Divergence
Crossover
Fusion
Lemon
Spamfic
There was obviously some mixing between them, but relevant to this is the Crossover and the Fusion.
Crossovers are kinda obvious, and introduced one of the most enjoyable, if WAY overdone, tropes of the FFML: The Fukufic. Take some Ranma 1/2, add some Sailor Moon, and viola, one fukufic. The catch was, they were all crossovers (except for one notable exception...which I really should dig up again sometime, it's a fun one), simply because direct fusions would dilute too much of either Ranma 1/2 or Sailor Moon.
Now, not that anyone saw this as a problem, mind, we just kinda shrugged if the subject came up and moved on.
Until one day, I was pondering this. (I mean, c'mon, you know me by now) "Fusion is where you take two properties and 'fuse' them together in new but recognizable ways," ponders I, "...so what would fission look like in this context?"
Naturally, my mind locked onto the fukufic, and the fanfic Fission was born.
Fission
Ranma is having A Day. The usual wacky relationship hijinks wind up with him tripping while running from his self-declared love interests (it has to do with martial arts, several foreign laws, and an okonomiyaki cart...long story) and falling off a roof (...again, long story) to pass through a stream of water from a broken pipe, triggering the magic that cursed him to turn into a girl with a splash of cold water. But today the wacky cranked right up into the weird when he DIDN'T collide with the other person who also happens to be standing in the spray of water. Usagi is having a pleasant day, actually. She's spending time with her boyfriend, taking in parts of Tokyo she doesn't normally get to, and in all enjoying herself when she gets a call about a monster attack. She ducks into an alley and starts to transform into Sailor Moon when a pipe bursts and sprays her with water right as someone...doesn't collide with her falling from the roof above. The destiny of both Ranma and Usagi has been altered by a random accident that nobody could have planned for or anticipated. Nobody around them is even remotely prepared.
The principal conceit is this: In the most unlikely of unlikely events, both Ranma and Usagi's respective magics to turn them into their other half are active at the same time when they collide. This "splits" their respective destinies, spinning off events and introducing characters that would completely rewrite their lives going forward. Ranma would get a Senshi team and their own "silver crystal" artifact and royal destiny, and Usagi would get a gender-swapping curse and a whole slew of romantic entanglements. Making this happen has been an incredibly fun challenge.
Plans and Schemes
I did not, I promise, intend for there to be a hiatus of any sort for Fission. I had, in fact, encountered a MASSIVE PILE of inspiration and jotted down a HUGE amount of notes for nine books worth of material about this new world in which there would be time travel shenanigans, a Xenomorph on an abandoned Mercury research base, and a look at the world of the Silver Millenium 1,000 years into the future.
But, as happens so often with me and in a recognizable pattern I wouldn't know about at the time because this was the first time it happened, I burned myself out. A move was involved, my marriage was experiencing challenges, and we were trying for a baby. This doesn't even factor in my career obligations, church activity, or social interactions which...yeah, most of it I wouldn't have chosen and only did because...okay, stopping there, this isn't a rant about my failed marriage.
I tried over the years, up to and including putting out a new chapter here and there, but I kept running into various forms of burnout.
Then the divorce happened.
Needing some sort of outlet, I started writing Double Trixie Trouble, and while it was just silly fluff, it was relatively easy to squirt out a chapter or three and just toss 'em up, but then the whole thing started getting complicated, and I started burning out again. By that time, though, I'd started writing Lost Little Wolf as a catharsis piece, and that wound up even more popular than DTT. And suddenly I couldn't not write LLW, it was metaphorically draining the ugly, puss-filled blisters that were my severely maladapted responses to the divorce.
On the plus side (and yeah, there's lots of plus sides), I did land on my soon-to-be-legally-changed new name of Chrystal Amber from the writing of it.
Then I went through my homeless period, and I've written about that quite a bit during the author's notes for My Empire of Dirt, as well as the severe injury I sustained during that time and the long road to recovery.
And during that period of time, I began to get nearly itchy to write more for Fission.
Outlines and Brainstorming
Fission has always, from day one, looked like this:
Pluto takes a vacation, this is widely considered to be a mistake
Ranma and Usagi 'collide' in a freak accident that could only happen to them. Owing to their already crazy lives, they don't realize how big a deal it is and promptly forget about it
Ranma and Usagi both start experiencing some "bleedover" from the other person, but since it's very minor and still within the realms of "crazy shit I have to deal with," they still don't think much of it.
Ranma turns into a new, not quite mirror version of Sailor Moon and gets her first senshi, Mercury, who winds up being Konatsu, the "Genius Kunoichi" as a not-quite-mirror to Ami's "Genius." Meanwhile Usagi gets her first suitor
Mars appears, additional bleed happens between the two "sides," Usagi experiences her first gender swap
Venus appears, more bleed, Usagi encounters another rival
Jupiter appears, Usagi can't hide her changes from the rest anymore, plans are made to meet
Ranma's "Inners" unite as a team, Usagi gains a new suitor
The two groups of Inners meet, the meeting is sabotaged by the BBEG but they wind up fighting along side each other and start to compare notes
Shampoo encounters Hotaru, offers to train her, coincidentally becomes the new Saturn
Ryoga receives a package promising to cure him of his curse. It changes his cursed form to a girl and becomes the new Uranus
Ranma receives a package with a key and a cryptic note saying he/she will know who it goes to
Akari initially rejects Ryoga's new cursed form, prompting Ryoga to go on a suicide mission. Trying to rescue new-Uranus, new-Moon realizes that only Akari can save Ryoga and the key is for Akari. They rescue Ryoga and Akari admits she still loves Ryoga, no matter the form
Ami advises the BBEG that's been after both teams is The Doom Star, named Nemesis by some consipiracy theorists in the 70s
They split into teams, do a three pronged assault, find Nemesis has a senshi, crack the Dark Planet, big space battle scene, huge martial arts, much wow
The day is saved, the teams start interacting, epilogue
This has been, from day one of writing the first words on the screen of the job I was holding at the time, the way things were going to go. I knew even then pretty much exactly what I wanted to do with this story.
Let's drill down a bit (I'm going somewhere with this, I promise):
Jupiter appears, Usagi can't hide her changes from the rest anymore, plans are made to meet
As with everything else, waaaay back in 2005 when I first started this monster, I had a specific idea how Ukyo would be introduced as Sailor Jupiter:
Ranma's team gets an invite to a concert in Jubaan
Three youma disguised as human pop stars reveal they've been siphoning energy for the entire concert tour, they get the upper hand on the senshi
Three members of the audience step up to do a counter-song to the youma
Ukyo turns into Jupiter, tipping the scales
Senshi win, headlines next day are about the Senshi openly appearing on video, but they aren't the usual senshi
Like I said, this has always been the plan, all the way back in 2005-2006.
Another Fandom Enters the Chat
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic entered the scene in 2010, and you all will know that part of the story.
But sometime around the time I started coming out of my trauma haze from being homeless and injured, I started re-reading my old fics and starting to figure out next-steps to continue the stories.
And I'm looking at the three monsters that are set to appear as energy draining singers at a concert... ...waaaaait a minute!
It was...PERFECT! I just needed three kids to step up, and heeeey...
Of course, if you know me at all then research will be involved. Thanks to pony names being, for the most part, based on nouns, this wound up being cake. I will say the names for the Sirens were more of a challenge, simply because the modern Japanese music scene uses a LOT of loan words from English and so I had to really dig to find the actual Japanese words for "Adagio," "Aria," and "Sonata," but I did find them.
Oh yeah? Fine! *conforms your gender*
2005 was...a different time for the queer community. It legitimately felt like we were on the verge of fracturing off the gender presentation parts of the community from the sexual attraction parts, and asexuality wasn't a thing most of us even heard about. (I wouldn't for another 2-ish years after that) Compounding that is the fact that my fanfic is built on a foundation from the 1980s, and yes, everything you've heard about how bad it was worldwide for queer folk is true. We barely made it out of that decade. Ranma 1/2 is a product of its time, but even for that it's VERY subversive. The whole thing is practically a study of teenage gender issues and nonconformity, by the end of the anime Ranma basically declares they're NB using the language available at the time, and Konatsu is known to be AMAB, but is treated as a woman. Any time the NWC tries to make Ko-chan 'act like a man,' it's shown just how very bad at it she is.
When I was writing Fission back in the mid-2000s, it wasn't a big deal to have Ranma be a guy who turns into a girl and back and that was that. There was no "they/them" we could use without looking like absolute weirdos. Konatsu was a pre-op transexual at best, so when writing for the ninja, you used he/him, end of story. If you review the chapters I wrote prior to my unplanned hiatus, you'll note that while Konatsu is in "civilian" guise, I use he/him. When a senshi, I had to do freakin vocabulary and grammar acrobatics to not use a pronoun at all. I wanted it to be clear that being a senshi in this universe is pretty much the ultimate form of femininity. Yes, they can crack a planet on accident and one of 'em can sneeze at the wrong time and alter history, but they're girls who are feminine and can kick your ass.
On this side of a transition, being where Konatsu would want to go if she could do so and afford it in the 1980s, I just couldn't bring myself to continue with the joke. It's ultimately kinda mean and I didn't feel comfortable with it. This "chapter" (consisting of chapters 10-12 on AO3) was me taking steps to address this in a plot-conforming, in-universe way and not break the flow of what I'd already written.
You're still here?!
Go read the fic!

The zoid berg art
IThank you for your tags im glad theres someone as crazy about zoidberg As me💖💖 and for your question i just think the songs sooo him honestly just in general .. Again thank you for your tags they made my day
hello, your username is zoidbrg?!?!?!? you are incredible in your decision making. im glad you enjoyed the tags, they are a product of i enjoyed your art very much. sometimes i feel conflicted being a very big fan of zoidberg and bender both. it does not seem that bender if fond of him, and often treats him too unkindly for my liking. but i also think bender is a perfectly designed robot and i feel bad judging him. i still side with zoidberg, but if i was an adorable yet awe inspiring robot made of only shapes with a delightful voice i think i too would have the nerve. i admire zoidberg because he is also very perfect in many ways but i think his heart is very good even when he doesnt understand things.
ive never tied the song to zoidberg before but i can see it! i also think he would enjoy the many sounds of the talking heads. and no problem for the tags, thank you for making that drawing and posting it! i cannot remember if i put it in my top 20 (ran out of top 10s) but i should have because it belongs there. have a delightful day and i cant wait to see more of your art!
