that introvert-extrovert poll is fantastic cuz it got me thinking about some of the different portrayals we’ve had, and like, MAN. sonicx!sonic and boom!sonic are truly on opposite ends of the introverted polite-rude spectrum. they’re both introverted as hell (x!sonic literally has an ep where he gets gifted a phone, looks at it, and then gets rid of it because “why would i want people to contact me”), but x!sonic is NICE. like, he’s definitely blunt and aloof, but he’s the kind of person who walks away from the crowd to take a nice little quiet nap out of the way. boom!sonic would unleash a plague of locusts to get people out of his house. the only thing keeping him from booby-trapping his house to deter visitors is a severe lack of executive functioning. if he got his adderall prescription filled he’d be untraceable. sticks would be like oh you believe too?? and he’d be like no girl i just don’t want people in my house

mlp in a nutshell

[malev0lent-entity]

I think it’s very hard for Sonic to admit how he feels about the SA2 ending bcs Shadow came back

He doesn’t need to think about those months where he thought Shadow was gone, he came back good as new! He no longer has to mourn him! Shadow is fine!

And he went and put all those feelings on a box and never opened it up again

Understanding Husk

A "husk" means a shell or a protective outer cover. This fits his character well since he's shown to be a husk of a man. More specifically, he's a former overlord who lost his power.

Husk in the "Pilot" was a lot more grumpy than he is in the show proper, losing his temper at Alastor and not hesitating to show his disinterest in anything going on as long as it doesn't concern him. When he sees just who has yanked him away from his card game, all he can do is exasperatedly ask Alastor what he wants with him this time. Seeing as Alastor is a constant reminder of how his gambling ended up costing him his status as an Overlord, it's easy to understand why he'd be upset at having to bend to the Radio Demon's will.

In the series, it's established he's still a jerk, but it's evident he cares, and his temper isn't as volatile and often warranted. In the beginning, Husk made it no secret that he was forced to stay at the hotel because of his ties to Alastor and would gladly get as far away as he could if able to. Behind his grumpy exterior, Husk is actually very patient and it takes a lot to make him legitimately angry.

He does his job as a bartender competently, but Husk is fairly blunt about the fact he's only participating in the group's shenanigans because he simply can't be bothered to protest. He does join bonding activities but departs once it's no longer enjoyable for him, after Vaggie decided to literally throw everyone into the middle of a turf war as part of her trust exercises. Thankfully, he grows out of this a bit as the series goes on and grows to care about the staff and guests.

Husk has his own issues and is pretty much apathetic to almost everything out of pessimism. But he still has the most common sense out of the cast and he's the most emotionally intelligent and self-aware, even serving as an advisor to the others at the right times when he's not bitterly accepting his circumstances. The hotel's owner is the only cheerful idealist demon princess who just wants to see the good in everyone, one investor is a maniac who wants to get entertainment out of watching the chaos, the other investor is the owner's neglectful, depressed father (and also the literal King of Hell), the manager is bossy and threatens people with weapons at the slightest provocation, and the cleaning lady is a neatfreak with a thing for "bad boys". Then there's Husk wanting nothing to do with their escapades. He's also a lot more hostile towards Alastor and Angel after they touch him multiple times.

It should be noted that Alastor lets Husk get away with flipping him off. But the moment Husk brings up the fact that Alastor's own soul belongs to someone else within earshot of the Radio Demon, Alastor can barely restrain himself to threatening to tear Husk's soul apart and broadcast his screams for all to hear if he ever says that again. By the end of the encounter, Husk is a shivering, terrified wreck and Alastor couldn't care less.

As the bartender, Husk knows how to listen to people and knows exactly what kind of problems that all the residents of the hotel are going through, and while he would rather let them solve their own problems, he isn't exactly above giving them some pretty solid, if very brutally honest. While it was unnecessarily rude to bring up the Hotel residents' flaws, Husk was accurate about every one of them as Charlie's desperate to help others but doesn't confront her own issues, Vaggie judges others because she hates herself, Sir Pentious is a lonely Sinner who watches people in their sleep, and Angel puts on an act that he's happy about his porn star job but is really miserable.

Husk was always cynical and crass, but he's also an old Sinner with a tender heart. With Angel however, he tends to be a lot more irritable. While it initially looks to be because of Angel constantly flirting with him, it's because he hates how hard Angel acts out to hide how miserable he actually is, considering him a "phony" in a self-destructive spiral. He eventually realizes he and Angel are the same, despite their differences. They're both self-destructive addicts since Husk is a gambling addict, while Angel is addicted to sex and drugs who sold their souls to an abusive Overlord. And both of them have descended even further into their addiction and adopted outwardly cynical, cruel personas as a coping mechanism.

Husk getting through to Angel Dust in the manner he does makes a considerable amount of sense when it's taken into account that the first step to overcoming drug addiction is usually getting the addict to acknowledge they even have a problem. Angel hasn't been able to get better despite having some genuine interest because he's been utterly refusing to admit he has a problem to fix, the moment he does his mood drastically improves as does his motivation.

In "Welcome To Heaven", Husk saw Cherri as a bad influence on Angel's path of redemption and advised her not to get high during their night out. He even defends Angel from Cherri's criticism about how the hotel was changing him. Of course Husk wants what's best for Angel, but unlike Cherri who thinks that feeding into Angel's addictive tendencies are the best way to treat his depression and that living up to the hotel's standards is only making his life more difficult, Husk encourages Angel to stick with the self-improvement he's learned from the hotel and not fall back into his old ways since Angel's trying to get into Heaven.

When Vaggie leaves to find out how angels can be killed, she tells Angel, Sir Pentious, Husk and Niffty that she knows they didn't sign up to be the first targets of the angels, so she wouldn't blame them if they left. Of course, when she and Charlie return, they find that all of them have stayed and fortified the hotel.

Husk even admitted that he doesn't want to look for new drinking buddies and being nice to both Angel and Pentious is a demonstration of the massive character development he's undergone over the course of the show. In the beginning, he was grouchy towards everyone and hated even being in the hotel, but now he's willing to risk his life to defend it and the other residents.

Do you ever come up with a fic idea and just kinda go "Okay, if a specific subsection of the fandom finds this, they'll eat me alive, but I guess that's just how it be"

I've decided I'm gonna write a Huskerdust fic that's basically a character study of how Angel's trauma with Val affects his outlook on relationships as a whole. One thing I really wanna do is parallel his current budding romance with Husk with flashbacks of his "romance" with Val back before he signed the contract. I wanna make the flashback scenes with Val genuinely seem romantic and spicy because of how the relationship ends up actually being. You as the reader know how this ends, Angel in that moment doesn't, it is MEANT to be horrifying, it's MEANT to leave you angry with a horrible taste in your mouth. Then, it reinforces Angel's struggle with not knowing if he can trust his relationship with Husk won't turn out that way, because once things with Val were great, but Val was a monster.

It all is meant to make his leap of faith at the end all the more satisfying. But I KNOW. There is a subsection of the fandom that's gonna read "legitimately romantic Angel/Val scenes" and ignore the rest and hunt me for sport. Like. It's just a fact

And I guess that's just how it be
