Ok I’ve been plotting out a Stobotnik fic for weeks now because those two are honestly driving me crazy, but for some reason this scene from ‘The husband of River Song’ keeps popping up in my head over and over again but with Ivo and Stone instead. (Stone is River here ofc)

I don’t quite know what the context is gonna be or why the conversation is even taking places other than it will be some time after Ivo’s ‘death’ and that Stone, for whatever reason won’t recognise him.

Either way this idea has been eating away at my brain!

[mollymijh]

[mollymijh]

So fun fact, both ships have now just hit 2000 works on ao3 within hours of each other

Tadaai and Stobotnik are the same ship and I can prove it!

(Ok maybe I’m exaggerating a bit but unfortunately the brainrot has taken over and this is all I can currently think about)

Ok so firstly we have Dr Ivo Robotnik and Ainosuke Shindo; both antagonists within their stories, both incredible in their own rights being the best in their fields, and both are mad geniuses. They are both primarily referred to by their nicknames by the other characters (Eggman for Robotnik and Adam for Ainosuke), both are primarily associated with the colour red, they both unique hairstyles, and both share a love for dance.

They also both have an obsession with a blue haired teen (ok very different types of obsession tbf but it’s funny to me).

Next we have Agent Stone and Tadashi Kikuchi, who are both also very similar; they are both employed under the previously mentioned characters, they are loyal to a fault to those characters even if they don't always treat them best, both of them almost exclusively wear suits throughout their entire screen times, and, if I share my own opinion, they both also have extremely pretty eyes.

Now onto the similarities of them as couples.

Both Robotnik and Ainosuke are shown to manhandle Stone and Tadashi at various points, leading to accusations from their respective fandoms of physical abuse.

However, in both cases, most fans recognise that Stone and Tadashi don’t just put up with the ‘abuse’ but seem to actively enjoy it, leading to kink-shaming towards Stone and Tadashi for their unconventional relationships with their bosses, but it's generally accepted as they match each other's freaks to a dangerous degree.

Stone and Tadashi also both only seem to smile when around Robotnik and Ainosuke, taking on more neutral or even annoyed expressions when around anyone else.

With both ships it’s also apparent that they have years of history together. With Tadaai they have known each other since childhood and had a falling out in their teens which is the catalyst for the entire plot of sk8 and what led to Ainosuke becoming unhinged.

While it's clear Stobotnik don’t have the same kind of messy history with each other, it still seems true that the two have worked with each other for some time considering how comfortable they are with one another, with Stone being the only human being Robotnik actually tolerates and allows close to him.

Robotnik and Ainosuke also both have very difficult relationships with their families, with Robotnik having grown up as an orphan, never knowing family until his grandfather entered into his life in sonic 3, and Ainosuke having a family but being physically and emotionally abused by them from a young age.

In both cases their family also cause a break in their relationships with Tadashi and Stone. Robotnik fires and turns his back on Stone in the 3rd movie, choosing to believe his grandfather over Stone after Stone urges Robotnik not to trust his grandfather after discovering he had been deceiving them the whole time.

Ainosuke and Tadashi’s relationship also breaks down due to Ainosuke's family, as Ainosuke’s father burning his skateboard results in Tadashi refusing to speak up for him in his defence, causing a split between them that’s lasts for nearly a decade.

Another similarity is the use of pet names and insults within their relationships as both Robotnik and Ainosuke use previously derogatory terms towards their other halves as a term of endearment during the emotional climax of their stories.

Ainosuke often refers to Tadashi as ‘dog’ using it throughout the whole show almost entirely as an insult, seemingly to remind him of his place within their relationship, until the end of the final episode where it takes on an affectionate meaning as he uses it in what comes pretty close to what fans consider to be a marriage proposal.

With Robotnik he had previously referred to Stone as a ‘sycophant’ (a person who acts obsequiously towards someone important in order to gain advantage) in the 2nd movie, however in the climax of the 3rd film he instead refers to him as a ‘syco-friend’ shortly before he sacrifices himself to save the world, changing a previous insult to acknowledge his own softer feelings towards Stone . In both cases this use of previously derogatory terms are used to signal a change in their relationships and the mending of them.

Robotnik similarly uses unconventional words of affection when talking to Stone, taking his compliment of Stone's latte's from the 1st movie and turning it into as close to a love confession as we could possibly get from these two.

To make my final point I'd also like to point out that with both ships the climax of their stories is reached when one realises what the other means to them. Robotnik saves the entire world and sacrifices himself simply because he knows that Stone is there on earth and that he’s the only person that ever truly cared about him, sacrificing himself for Stone.

With Ainosuke his story reaches a climax when he remembers what it’s like to have fun when skating again and the realisation that the whole reason he used to enjoy it so much was because he had Tadashi by his side and that he had always been there by his side the whole time.

Basically I really love both of these ships and they're all I could think about these last few days.

In conclusion

Now that I’m back on my tadaai bullshit again I’ve been reminded of my favourite personal headcanon regarding those two.

That being that Ainosuke and Tadashi absolutely dated as teens.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the idea of the decades long yearning between them, both wanting but never daring to do anything about it, but there’s just something so delicious about the idea that they did actually give into their desires to be with one another and it still ended badly.

It also brings in another interesting dynamic when you add Cherry into the mix. I have no doubt that Cherry was head over heels for Adam and the anime pretty much confirmed it, but I’m not sure I buy into it being mutual. Not that them being ex’s isn’t an interesting dynamic as well, but there just something I love more about Adam, who’s bold and eye-catching and fascinates everyone who sees him, not returning the feelings of Cherry, who is every bit as beautiful and as interesting as him, and instead being head over heels for ‘plain’ and ‘boring’ Tadashi who wouldn’t stand out in a crowd even if he tried (I say this with love btw, he’s my baby girl).

Ugh it’s just such a good concept and I need more of it!

[mollymijh]

Yes I have seen the sk8 ova many times now, and yes my obsession with Tadaai is back in full force! (Tbh it never went away it’s just been hibernating)

[mollymijh]

I finally watched sonic 3. I am not the same person i was before.

[mollymijh]

I also just realised that this is literally the first thing he does after he gains ultimate power! He became the most powerful being in the universe for a whole second and his very first action was to go and find Stone and cradle his face in his hands. He absolutely has his priorities in check at least

Before I finally give in and watch sonic 3, I’ve been rotating this scene nonstop in my head for the last couple of days and it’s driving me crazy!

Look at them! There is nothing you can say that will convince me that Robotnik wasn’t about to kiss Stone!

Just everything about this, the way he’s cradling his head with both hands, the way he rubs his fingers on his cheeks and squeezes his lips together!

The only reason he didn’t was because Wade was there, and the way they both stop and stare at him once they realised they weren’t alone kills me.

Not to mention Robotnik immediately insults him too cause how dare Wade’s mere presence ruin his moment to invade his bf’s personal space.

And then of course he handcuffs him too cause how dare he tie up Stone! Only Robotnik’s allowed to do that!

I decided to watch the sonic movies on a whim the other day bc tiktok has been bombarding me with edits of stobotnik and I was unironically shipping them.

I’ve just seen the second film and it’s safe to say it’s not ironic anymore

Kids, it's been a year since OFMD was cancelled. If you're still gloating over it can you at least just admit it's because you want to be a jerk because I'm tired of seeing every played out reason that can be easily refuted (also why are you so obsessed with us?)

"They raised 10k for a billboard instead of donating to Palestine"

Billboard campaigns have been a staple of fandom campaigns for donkey's years (and is still going! Congrats to the Dead Boy Detectives fandom on a sick af billboard). People can care about multiple things at the same time and do! Have you heard of Our Flag Makes A Difference? Feel free to donate through one of their links. There's also the OFMD Gotcha for Gaza campaign.

Outside of Palestine, the fandom has raised tens of thousands of dollars for multiple charities and mutual aid funds. Here is a list.

"They fired Guz Khan for being outspoken about Palestine"

Guz himself said this wasn't the reason. He played a character with very little screen time and less than ten lines in season one. When there was a 40% budget cut and a move to AoNZ it was only logical he would get the axe - particularly because there was a tax break for hiring local Kiwi talent.

"The cast and crew are Zionists"

Literally just making up shit. Multiple cast members post about Palestine on a daily basis. This isn't hard to find if you actually look at their Instagrams

"Taika signed the letter."

And so did a bunch of white people I don't see you calling for the heads of. He also has a history of interacting positively with pro-Palestine posts

"The show was queerbaiting"

Words mean things

It's been a year. We're tired. If you hate the show and the fandom so much, stop talking about us. Go find joy in your show and leave us alone. Enjoy your show whilst it's still going - it could always be next on the chopping block.

We finally have new art!! They've released a new trailer with glimpses of the OVA!

(https://x.com/sk8_project/status/1855037591726559327)

They also gave us some descriptions of the stories! Here are my translations of them!

Rain and Cats, convenience store ice cream, soda flavored

One Sunday, Reki, Langa, and Miya were at the skate park, as usual, when they are caught in a sudden downpour. They take shelter at Reki's house, and end up playing karuta with deck they find there--!?

Someday we'll be able to become serious

We go back in time to when Sakurayashiki and Nanjo were high school students living in obscurity. They're still competing with each other as usual, but after a series of competitions, the conclusion they arrive at is...

Morning Routine

This is a story that reveals just a tiny bit of the mysterious daily life of Ainosuke and Kikuchi-- They each have their secret routines, when there's a crossover between the two, and then a certain someone appears.

Do your best Hiromi-chan!

By night, he is an anti-hero, Shadow. By day, he works hard at a flower shop. These are three short stories that capture the daily life of the precious and kind Hiromi.

Summary:

As soon as the first few seconds of the melody rang out, Louis watched as Ed’s whole body froze and tensed before he looked up at Louis slowly, his usually warm eyes glazed over with something he had never seen before. Louis couldn’t help but wonder what he’d done wrong.

“Where did you get that from?” Ed asked, his voice strained, almost unrecognisable from his usual friendly tone. Maybe Louis should have been worried at seeing this other side of Ed, one he’d never known existed, but instead he was hit by a realisation as a wave of adrenaline washed over him. Ed knew this song!

Louis is determined to find the source of a song that had taken the internet by storm, unfortunately he doesn’t realise that doing so would result in knowing things about his dad’s past that he never wished to know.

Aka Ed and Stede made porn in the 80s and their kids find out.

Despite the eye candy in front of him, Ed couldn’t help but wonder what had inspired this particular wardrobe change? He soon got his answer though as a slightly older, balding man followed in after the blond bombshell, placing his hand so low on Stede’s hips he was practically cupping his behind.

“Is that so bad? Being mistaken for my mate?” Ed teased but Stede’s face appeared worried that he had offended him.

“No of course not, anyone would be lucky to be with you Ed, it’s just…” he trailed off as he suddenly realised how close they were now, his eyes fixed onto Ed’s lips. It’s now or never, Ed told himself as he leaned in to cover the short distance between them, his lips were right there! He could already feel Stede’s breath on his mouth. This was it! Finally-

“You’re a good kid Ed.”

25 year old alpha Ed is obsessed with his middle aged omega neighbour, unfortunately he doesn’t think Stede sees him that way.
