#Buggy Engine Kits

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Franke Buggy 75, 1975. First presented 50 years ago at the Geneva Motor Show, a fully enclosed buggy-type vehicle based on the rear-engined VW Beetle platform. Franke was a Swiss kit-car maker who also presented a pick-up version called the Joker 76 (pictured below) at the show a year later. They went out of business in 1983

THAT is a Towns Hustler!

A genuinely interesting car, designed by the same guy who did the Aston Martin Lagonda.

Can you see the resemblance? lol.

It's a kit car, with a gimmick. With most kit cars, you buy the body panels and then you supply the chassis and engine yourself, usually from a more common car:

For example: the iconic Meyers-Manx dune buggy:

uses the same engine and chassis as a classic VW beetle, but with a big plastic body you bolt on yourself.

The Hustler uses an original mini cooper as a base, but didn't come with the body panels. the Hustler came with plans for the body, and the end builder could choose any material they wanted! So, of the 300 Hustlers that are believed to exist, several are indeed, made of wood. Such as the 6-wheeler from the photo, which used two mini rear-ends in sequence for the 4 rear wheels. Amusingly, it's still front wheel drive!

Most were made of plastic and fiberglass.

This is the sporty coupe version LMAO

And finally a more normal 4 wheel plastic model:

They were all slightly different what with being hand-made.

I think people would probably be more careful if everyone on the road had to hand-build their cars!

now thats what i call a fucking car

New! RC10 4WD Kit!

The RC10 started as the vision of Team Associated’s founder Roger Curtis (RC) and became one of the most iconic RC cars in history. At the inaugural IFMAR Off Road World Championships, Jay Halsey took first place with his RC10 in the 2WD class, but did you know he also raced a prototype 4WD RC10 in the 4WD class and took second place?Team Associated never advanced that prototype 4WD and instead focused on 2WD. But what if Team Associated had developed a 4WD RC10? You’d get the RC10 4WD off road buggy!

Our team of engineers took the iconic RC10, the knowledge of 4WD racing from the B74, and created the RC10 4WD. No more having to buy an RC10 kit, a conversion kit, and random parts. Now you can have a genuine Team Associated RC10 4WD that is meant to be raced, with all the parts in one box. All you need to do is add electronics and hit the track!

also another add on - the multiple sim conversations - should be OPTIONAL - it's so annoying when i have my sim going out to the bar trying to chat up one sim and five other sims are also engaged in the conversation, clogs up the relationship tab - also the fact that sims can get an embarrassed moodlet if they're trying to flirt with another sim, just because another sim decided to insert themselves and third wheel.

yeah.... YEAHHHH!!!! not only does it clog up the relationship tab, but... it kinda slows the gameplay? S4 is notorious for its simulation lag and it's because of functions like these. BECAUSE LIKE. you wanna tell a joke to your date or friend but you can't because you have to wait for a third wheeler (OR A FIFTH WHEELER) to "tell a story" or whatever. rly, multiple sim conversations SHOULD'VE been optional, if you wanted to invite a third or sixth sim to a conversation -- you should do it manually by clicking another sim and having a "join conversation" option.

yep! dates are literally the WORST because every time my sims are out on one, their conversations turn into an "awkward one" because some sim just randomly decides to start talking to them whilst they're flirting.

and honestly? i feel they really did have some decent concepts for TS4, the problem is the execution of these concepts. a lot of simmers who are also critical of the game notes that the devs ideas are often too ambitious for TS4's coding, and the final result is always either lackluster or buggy because of this.

i've argued about this with ppl online but i don't give a frick what anyone says, i'm like 98% sure that TS4 does use the same engine as that scrapped MMO from 2008 (OLDER THAN TS3 BTW. OLDER!!) and that would explain why the game has trouble implementing these ambitious features, why the game breaks terribly every time a new update or pack comes out, why many packs don't even work at all, why the animations are so limited, why the simulation is so unresponsive at times, why teens to elders are basically just reskins of each other, why toddlers were literally not at launch. because the engine is like 16 years old and was never even intended for these functions to begin with.

it's just weird to choose this game as the "forever game" when it rly does have the most problems, is the most controversial. they claim they're gonna be doing a lotta refreshes and adding a lot of what people would expect from a S5 into it. but? with its buggy spaghetti coding, and it's 84 DLCs (counting kits & stuff packs, BUT STILL!) i just find it... very hard to believe they're actually gonna do much overhauls to this game. HECK, i don't even believe they are able to do much at this point.

Golf Carts Punta Gorda, FL | Matt's Custom Golf Carts (bing.com)

I gotta do this idea and when people see it they'll get it this guy's been taking our stuff and bringing it somewhere so I need to know where.

This is what it looks like and it's really actually pretty cool. For a Volkswagen chassis. But we can use it on golf carts and I looked at it and the gearing is not that hard but it would be a lot easier to put on a Volkswagen the newer ones i'll tell you why it would not take that long and you leave all the insides I don't see why not just change the top dashboard and you make one that fits over and fits to this and it's done and the interior you is practically nothing it's just vinyl on the floor. And really if you give sheet goods and people cut it and just bold it into place wouldn't take long to make a molded one but it's not really needed it says that stuff sucks yeah you have to mold it it doesn't take long OK you throw it on it you heat it and it molds it so I'm gonna go ahead and do this because the **** is not doing it and this looks really really cool says the tires have to be slightly smaller but they look really cool anyways and I believe him too but on a Volkswagen it would work great they have to Jack it up a little but not much from what I understand with a smaller tires it's a great doom buggy and our friend here would buy one as an enclosure and a roll cage you just bolt on like a real jeep. Top is a soft top this is a no brainer OK it takes no brains. The door is just as vinyl door and you zip it open and you can buy them aftermarket this is terribly simple and with the Volkswagen is a rear engine is perfect for a dune buggy it's a front wheel drive I mean is perfect these days it doesn't get stuck as much in the sand and just pulls you along it's a weird feeling and the 130 horsepower and you can boost it to 150 and super cool it and the kid would not be much it would be under 5000 and tons of people do it. Her friend had money he would do it. And it's a military vehicle and it might be good for a comeback I have many people left I'm not losing that many but I'm losing a bunch

trump

He's having a say it and really he is losing a bunch off island he is down to about 4.5% and on island he is about 4.9% that's not much but the idea is to have the woman do this and he would have access to women to clone And he puts them back in and stuff and he had he needs a lot of and there's a lot of this kind of stuff it's gonna start and we don't like him but he does stuff that's weird that clears out the stuff so he might send parts and we have to keep an eye on him this is actually gonna start because he says he doesn't like DJA but our son and daughter don't think that he could pull it off and that he doesn't want that kind of trouble.

Thor Freya

We noticed something we don't need this kind of trouble it's too big

trump

We might do it because we don't like BJA it's very sharp looking in the Volkswagen is a good pick the golf carts are a good pick and those quads are good pick for this vehicle and you have three that are slightly different and accommodate for the equipment and the size and boy would that be a sweet thing I was gonna be a little bit different and make it a little cooler but this is pretty good. I want to start this up and we have a couple projects that are starting today I want this to be one of the kits but it will be our version. it might look more like the Suzuki um so we can make that later it's a good idea for a very fast light vehicle.

Thor Freya

We will try and accommodate you more we need to have people here that's getting rough and he's having trouble he's concentrating all the time on diet and stuff and he needs money these people are stupid. They are losing their leadership that people will follow and they don't believe it they're gonna be crammed out there trying to attack the max and they're going to lose and get sucked in over and over and wave after wave and will most likely be gone shortly. They will blame them directly and will call our son for help and he'll be stuck and they'll try and use the max Social Security system against them. There will be some kind of stipend coming as it did to George WA after he was inaugurated as commander of the armies that was the 15th and it has been only 6 days roughly almost and we heard it was two weeks.

While I’m no materials scientist, and in fact the materials scientist association sent a guy to trick me into the basement and then wall up a corner while I was unconscious, I do know that I’m not a fan of aluminum. Yeah, it’s light-weight. So what? Weight doesn’t matter if you simply add more horsepower, geniuses. And one of the best ways to add that horsepower is an old-fashioned, tough-as-nails, iron block engine.

Back when our civilization was still capable of making things, we made all of our engines out of good ol’ iron. This was because, being a people of action, we didn’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about how to turbocharge things. So it was best to make engines as tough as possible, so they could deal with little things like leaned-out fuel mixtures exploding prematurely, and exhaust valves dropping out of the head and turning into plasma torches.

The fact that almost no consumer cars of the period were actually turbocharged, because of the lack of access to precision-machined aluminum turbocharger components, is irrelevant to my line of argument. They’re here now, and eBay is here now, and it turns out that my quarter mile time is dropping hard even with wastegate pressure and a fuel pump out of a bulldozer. That’s all thanks to the classic iron block domestic engine, which is strong enough that I don’t have to understand the reasons why adding four hundred additional horsepower to a fifty year old slant-six is a bad idea.

And this whole strategy took us to the moon. That is, unless you’re the kind of person who pays a lot of attention to facts, in which case you’ll argue that the buggy stuck up there is not turbocharged or even internal-combustion in the first place, and you might want to take the rest of this entry off.

Nowadays, everything is designed with computers and made out of futuristic aluminum alloys. It’s lightweight, and efficient, and reliable, and you can get heat in the cabin without having to put a piece of cardboard over your radiator and let the thing warm up for six hours every morning. When you buy a new car, all the parts actually fit together without having to use a die grinder. And they make way more horsepower off the dealership lot than some dumbass with an old Mopar and an AliExpress turbo kit. Oh, and it doesn’t rust nearly as badly.

Come to think of it, if anyone needs me, I’ll be off looking for one of those aluminum slant sixes at the junkyard. They didn’t sell a whole lot of them, because all those primitive dumbasses refused to even understand the basics of safe and effective turbocharging.

Méan Sonora 1 

This is a Méan Sonora: tubular chassis, poly body and Renault R8 S engine (quickly replaced by a Renault R16 TS, which in turn was replaced by a Renault Alpine 1600). Made in Belgium, Méan cars were born from the passion of the son of a Liege industrialist who settled in the city of... Méan, Wallonia. The Méans were small, elegant sports cars that could be built by hand at home, a fairly popular concept in Europe. It was a kit inspired by the Californian beach buggies of the late 1960s, and was in the peer group consisting of some of the better known kit cars such as the British Marcos GT and Lotus Seven, and the French Marcadiers. .

20 - Rockin' in Rio

Greetings one and all A quick return from the Bondi Bard. Last weekend there was a surprise party for Gerry and Sylvia in San Francisco, and judging from the email I got from Ratty a good time was had by all, and a few of our old mob were there. I would loved to have been there but I was committed to go to the wedding of a good buddy of mine. James and his new wife Suze got married on the original Manly ferry, which has been converted into an amazing houseboat and is moored at Balmain. The ceremony was at 7pm, just as the sun was setting to the left of us, and the Harbour Bridge to the right, very picturesque. An Aussie band called Leonardo's Bride sang their top five hit to the couple (of course I can't remember the name of it) and the girl singer has an incredible voice, and is also gorgeous and a very charming lady, who is shacked up with a DJ mate of mine. Lucky bastard. The booze was good, the food even better and a fun night was had. I can hear that question again, "Whats this got to do with Queen?" Well I shall tell you. James worked as an engineer at Metropolis Studios in London, along with the lovely Heidi, where the Queenies did a lot of recording, he also did some work with the band, but did a lot on BM's first solo outing. The next link is even weaker. I spent a good part of the evening chatting with Rob Hirst, who is the drummer with Midnight Oil, and is also a fabbo chappie. And being a typical drummer, while the Oils are not working he is recording his own solo album, as a singer/guitarist.......sound familiar. We had a couple of drinks and swapped a few stories, and as his wife was with us we managed to keep them all clean.

Staying on the subject of drummers I had an email, via Jacky, from a drummer who didn't seem that amused by the joke I told in my last ramblings, they might hit things but they are really quite sensitive deep down. So I suppose I should say I'm sorry, well I'm not. But here's another little jest to piss him off some more. Q: Whats the most asked question to a person with an IQ of 2? A: What sticks do you use?

Onto Sonia's request for some info on our trips to Brazil. What can I say about Rio except that it is a fun city and we all had a great time there, maybe that's why we went back a second time. On the first venture there I was still looking after the kit, and on one night myself and a few of the crew hit the town and got very drunk on the local drink, I think it was made from sugar, which I can pronounce but I've no idea how to spell it. (Help me out Sonia) We were in a bar getting louder and louder when a Welsh Rugby team came in, and they were big boys, and they are also on the tipsy side.

I'm 6ft, Jim Devenney makes me look small and Bob Bickleman made him look small, and the rugby players are of equal size, so we now have a contest on our hands as to which team can sing the loudest and dirtiest rugby songs. To start with the Welsh were winning because they had a couple of good looking women with them, and even though it was loud it was also in good fun. Devenney then comes up with the great statement that rugby is a girls game, the Welsh reply that at least they don't need padding when they play, unlike Gridiron, to which our team say, "OK, lets have a game on the beach tomorrow morning." This to me sounds like a really daft idea as I hate Gridiron, Rugby and Soccer, so one of the lighting guys and myself decided to leave, which means the Queen crew won by default cause neither team turned up on the beach to play, and as the two of us were leaving the bar we took their gorgeous ladies with us. Sorry Wales.

Our second visit to Brazil, when I was traveling with the band, was for the first Rock in Rio which was a two week festival with a host of big names on, each playing two nights. We did the opening night with three Brazilian acts, then Whitesnake who had Cozy as drummer, then Iron Maiden and then us. The second show was at the end and our opening acts were the B52's and the Go Go's. After the show I ended up in my room with a couple of Go Go girls, and boy were they party hounds. Apart from the bands I've mentioned there were other big names like Rod Stewart, AC/DC, Yes, George Benson and more. It was fun because we got to see old friends of the road, but it was also a nightmare cause we were almost prisoners of the hotel, due to the fact there were far to many fans outside the hotel, so we hung around the pool most of the time. The press were paying guests with poolside views so they could use the room and snap rockstars by the pool, which, of course, put an end to that.

The only thing left to do between shows was to get out of Rio and Roger and I heard of a great place called Buzios (Hope I spelt that correctly) which I suppose is about 100 miles away. Deaky and Wally decided to come as well, and being wimps they took a limo, unlike us drum type people, we don't eat quiche, we're gonna drive. The locals were all driving around in beach buggies, they look like fun, thats us, lets go. A buggy is basically a VW beetle with a different body, and our gleaming white buggy turns out to be the biggest pile of crap ever allowed on a road.

I take the wheel and we're not too far into our journey when 1st gear goes on the missing list, I don't care, I'm a good driver, I can start in 2nd. The gearstick decides to loosen on us, so trying to get it in gear was like stirring soup, who cares, onwards and by now our buggy decides to dump the clutch, so when it came to pulling away I just pushed the stick, and whatever gear it went in was the one we drove in. At least we can see the funny side of it all. What else can God give us to make this mission harder, how about torrential rain, which is great fun to drive in when you don't have a roof on the car. Needless to say the buggy rapidly filled up with water. Five minutes of this downpour and we get our next treat, the wipers pack up, so RT has to stand up and lean over the top and wipe the windshield so I can see where I'm going. By this time we look like a couple of soaking wet tramps, but we are killing ourselves laughing as we watch the red mud flow down the hillsides into the river we are trying to drive through. As we go round a bend we both screamed out "OH F***" at the same time. A huge truck was heading in the opposite direction to us, and as it passed at high speed a tidal wave of red water engulfed us and our crappy little car. I have to be honest here, that did wipe out a bit of the humour. We got to our destination, found the hotel and as the drowned rats walked in, the wimps were sitting in the bar, very dry with very cold beers. Next time, I'm with you Deaky. You would think the first thing I would want was a shower, nope, top of the list was a nice quiet chat with the company that rented us our friendly little buggy, and after a couple of well placed words they didn't charge us. Once there we had a good time. Oh, I nearly forgot, we did a couple of great shows as well.

Loads of the usual stuff

Leech Lord - Beginnings and regrets

The single least Seifa thing Seifa has ever done, is probably also the most actual Seifa thing she's ever done, and that's extremely Seifa of her.

It was going against every lesson survival had beaten into her so far in her life, and helping Tyreen instead of walking away all those years ago.

(Pre CoV)

Pandora is a terrible place.

The whole Galaxy is, Pandora just has a reputation that's honest about it.

The Edens, Athenas, Promethea, Tantalus, every city on every settled planet is built on a foundation of bones, nowhere's really safe or actually wants the humans that settled uninvited and ruined the neighborhood. Can't really expect an ecosystem to welcome you with open arms when you immediately start destroying it for profit, and life ain't easy anywhere. Nowhere is good. Nowhere is nice.

You can't live for long without finding out how dangerous "caring" is.

Small family units survive, yeah, clans scrabble out a living on rock plains and migrant space-rigs, but if you hold out a hand to a stranger in need you need to know the risks, need to really understand how likely it is that there's a knife behind their back and a couple of crosshairs already trained on you.

You have to be harsh, you have to be cruel. Everyone who makes it on the border planets knows the unwritten rules.

Unless you've the backing of a town militia or a hell of a lot of weaponry, you can't afford to risk your own safety for others - and Sei has walked past more people who gasped out a desperate plea for help with one of the few breaths they had left then she could ever, ever let herself acknowledge. Fuck man, everyone has. It's one of the sad truths of living at the knifepoint everyone balances on out here at the fringe.

...It's no different really on the corporate ones, the blades waiting to land in your back are just better dressed there.

So, when Seifa went to walk away from that filthy kid in the junkyard with the busted SMG and found herself stopping as the girl pleaded for medicine, that was beyond out of character.

That was weird. That was impossible to justify, and she lost plenty of nights to trying to do so after - long ones, with tears and far too much whiskey.

It's hard to think back on, how unsettling and stomach turning that first month had been. The whole thing feels like a blur, some grease smeared memory that's mostly lost to the desperately anxious conflict that was going on in her head the entire time. She can remember specific points, but they're half images half feeling, nerves and worry all tangled together into something she hates dwelling on.

She remembers the heat mirages swirling above the desert sands as Elpis set on the horizon, driving the girl out across the salt flats as Ty panicked and urged Sei to go faster, all while she was trying to explain to herself WHY she hadn't slapped this stranger out of her buggy and throttled in the opposite direction. What had gotten into her?

She doesn't remember anything that the kid had said as she was lead by her into that dark shack, still battling with why she wasn't turning around, why she was gingerly picking through debris to reach what looked like a hastily set up camp surrounded by rusting sheet metal and pieces that used to be the hovel - but she remembers the stink of fever sweat that wrinkled her nose and that sad mound of sharp angles heaped at the center by a burnt out fire pit, and the shock of realising it was a man when Tyreen had dropped to her knees and begged through sobs for him to keep breathing.

That she had "Found someone to help."

Recalls fighting back the equal disgust she felt with herself for helping carry the nothing he weighed out of that shithole, and for the fact he was still alive in this state. Covered in filth, blood, chunks of.. something, and reeking of puke and god knows what else. How she chewed at her lip till she tasted copper as the buggy engine rattled in complaint under them, flooring it when she knew the shoddy weld job on the left axle wasn't going to take this strain and would need another couple of hundred dollars she didn't have in repairs by the time she got these pathetic kids back to her ship - and she remembers wincing hours later at her empty medical cabinet after gutting it to keep the boy alive.

Saline stock sucked dry, bactum wasted, and she was saving those health kits for when she might need them...

It was a bad decision. It was a stupid decision, and she'd spent that first night when the girl had cried herself to sleep and he'd finally stabilised, sitting on the cold floor of her quarters with her back pressed against the repurposed mag-lock door, cradling her pistol in her lap as she gnawed at her nails.

They were Sirens.

Sirens.

Moron. Stupid fucking twat, If Boss found out, he'd kill her before these two could get the chance.

Helping them had been idiot move enough, had gone against every fiber of who she'd built herself into, but she couldn't have known. Tyreen had been covered in rags, and Troy's markings too dim and caked in muck to even see before they'd gotten him cleaned up and stable.

She hadn't known. She didn't know, nothing about Sirens anyway, just that you didn't fuck with 'em in the first place. Sirens were bad news, Sirens were the bane of Pandora in the last few years and everyone knew the stories. They were monsters who could turn you inside out or roast you alive without needing to point a gun first, and now she had two in her home with no defenses bar a shitty Jacobs she knew damn well she could barely aim, and hopefully enough faux confidence to seem in control of the situation.

That first night had been the worst.

The twins slept fine, Troy out cold and Ty having cried herself unconscious shortly after his heart beat had become something possible to confuse with normal if you squinted at the scan display from the right angle, but Sei didn't close her eyes once.

Sat awake all night in the clunking, humming, rattling silence of her home as she thumbed the revolver's cylinder slowly, considering how each click marked another second she'd left them both alive instead of doing the right thing and emptying a round into each of their skulls. Pandora would take care of the bodies and she'd fix a serious mistake she was walking straight into... but the suns rose in the end, and the twins were none the wiser about how close the decision had actually been.

It didn't really get better. The fear did, that passed over the next couple of days, but not the worry, not the regret. Two more mouths to feed when she only had the funds for herself? The girl was going to have to learn how to work. The cash she'd put aside was for her junker colony, not strangers, and the boy still couldn't even stand... and how were things going to pan out even if they so far didn't seem to be quite as monstrous as she'd been told so many times in no name dive bars in settler towns?

What if she took Tyreen out on a barter run and her markings got noticed? That mad corporate fuckwad Sexy George or fuckin whatever had just been running some reward scheme for Sirens, right? Would the lowbrows she dealt with on a daily basis here comprehend that wasn't a thing anymore, or would Sei be shanked and Ty abducted within hours of setting foot in a trade dock?

And him...

What the fuck was she going to do with him.

He wouldn't talk, wouldn’t even look at her, just some massive, gangly, awkward, nervous child that ghosted around the edge of her vision and scurried out of the room like a panicked Skag pup if she made the mistake of looking directly at him.

Sick still, even if he was trying to stay in his crew cubby for less every day, the one she'd told him was his and still had not a word of thanks for yet. Shaky, delicate, and in no physical condition to be able to help around the ship yet alone have a chance of bringing in some extra dollars, even if he hadn't been missing such a huge chunk of himself. Pity wasn't going to keep him fed, and she was pissed with herself for feeling it for him in the first place.

She figured that's what had done it really... them being siblings.

That raw desperation in Tyreen's voice as she'd begged Seifa to help when she'd turned to walk away. That her brother was so sick and she didn't know what to do. Siblings gut punched her in ways she knew were a weakness out here. The twin thing? That had just cemented it really. Helping wasn't in Seifa's nature, but leaving kids to die wasn't in her bones.

Still, she'd make it work, she always did. They'd survive, and she'd come out of this in profit one way or another, that was as sure as an Athenian monk lowballing an offer.

She'd train the girl up and run some deals with her, cover the costs of helping them out with a tidy margin for herself - then she'd leave 'em with the tools to survive, a couple of hundred bucks to get started and never have to see them again.

She'd be fine. She was always fine.

That's very Seifa of her.

Asks are Open!

We have some questions about Pontiac whether we are beginning our process we are at those plants and we are looking over what to make. He had an idea you saw the success of furiosa's car and a lot of people did and it's like a girl's size car and people like that. It's not really all wheel drive and it did very well it's like a dune buggy format I think it was really screaming. There's a lot of ideas going around for a kit car to put that in particular style on there it was model t or model A bucket t bucket no it's not too bucket it's kind of hard top they sell them online within a lot of money so we might make a kit and several cars that it fits it fits smaller vehicles but he's saying one more time and you can make them you can't really drive them on the street but you can in Australia and there's a certain size my son had the l10 John Deere you need a l35 or bigger they have suspension and you put the kid on and they can make one too it looks like it could look like that and they go real fast and you could put a shell in it this armored thin but real and they like the sound of that and you put it on several different cars that would work I'm there's a Dodge four-door midsize that's the size of our son's car the optima it has like 250 horsepower and there's several other brands to do that but the size lawn mower is smaller they do make one for it now yeah and it would really go fast with the lawn mower engine that comes with and a transmission to step up the 35 would go about 85 on the dirt 120 on the road it's extremely fast and worth it. Furthermore we're going to try the Pontiac idea and we're going to get those up and running and I'll probably make a few Pontiacs every once in awhile and just to see it's it's not illegal they be kind of aftermarket and a different method and we can use the name no one else is

Come Get Y’all Headcanons || Prompt

HIVE - did your muse ever had to deal with an infestation?

     Honestly? Tails is keen on keeping quite the clean space, and ever since T-Pup was created, there hasn’t been a chance for any semblance of an infestation of foul buggies to get started up! The mechanical canine is capable of sniffing out any critters that somehow manage to make it into the kit’s air-tight walls, often through an open window for ventilation or while the garage door is opened during mechanical work. Just follow the rowdy barking and scoop up the pesticide before anything gets out of control!

FIRST HUNT - is your muse interested in hunting?

     Unless it’s hunting robots, not so much. Life is precious and is to be protected. Heading out and hunting creatures for something as frivolous and unnecessary as sport just doesn’t jive with the kid. Killing for survival is one thing, but this is just a game for the hunter.

     And that’s not to say that he’s a vegetarian or a vegan, he’ll eat meat without a care in the world. It’s just something about the concept of hunting that feels disrespectful, that you’re doing something so destructive for play. Meanwhile the creatures out in the wilderness are running for their lives? It’s the double standard of it all: how would you feel if they came into your cities looking to blow you out of the water to use your head as a trophy, huh? Morbid, isn’t it?

CHEATING DEATH - what does your muse think about death? are they afraid of it?

     Death actually... terrifies Tails. He’s noted in my mind as one of my only muses, spare one or two that I haven’t written in years, that actually fear death. I can at least say that he does not let this fear stop him; if there is something life-threatening that is needed to be done, he will not shrink, he will rise to the occasion. He has the ability, nigh the fortune to fight back against and challenge once-thought insurmountable dangers that threaten the planet time and time again, so don’t just sit there when you have the potential to make a difference. 

     But that does not change the fact that he is always forcing down the fear of death to perform these great acts of bravery. 

     It’s not the pain of the act, nor is it the lack of knowledge on what comes next. It’s the fact that if he dies, so much potential for the planet’s improvement will waste away along with his cold and unmoving body. He’s a brilliant kid, he’s blatantly aware of this fact. There is so much he could do for the world if he’s to grow up, hone his skills, and spread his intelligence through life-changing, life-saving, world-altering inventions. There is so much more he can do that his corpse cannot. 

     Being able to fly at supersonic speeds and create weapons capable of beating back robotic menaces is a wonderful way to assist a world in danger, but what Tails wishes for is longevity, a difference he can make that everyone may actively benefit from. A world that doesn’t need to worry about Eggman’s next attack thanks to the Miles Electric Protection Grid scrambling Badnik wavelengths and deactivating them far before they come close to any civilized area. Or the Miles Electric Chaos Engine that is capable of powering cities on the level of Grand Metropolis without the need for air-polluting power factories, all thanks to the safe harnessing of Chaos Energy en masse...

     ...All of these ideas floating around his mind would cease to exist if he died. He can’t have that happen, he won’t have that happen. 

SKINTIGHT - if your muse had a youtube channel or a tv show, what would it be about?

     It’s actually a running joke between me and a friend that Tails would be the in-universe of Vsauce with a channel called T-Sauce. So, fittingly, his channel would house an entire series of fun videos with a very similar energy. Quirky science videos that teach you absurd facts and dive into outlandish concepts for the sake of entertainment and bigger-picture thinking. It would be a fun side gig he’d do in his free time

FIRST AID - what was your muse’s worst wound?

     It’s quite hard to see due to the fact that his plentiful amount of fur has healed over the wound, but to the extremely perceptive, you may notice that there is a grove of fur on his stomach that doesn’t grow quite as high. A slight barren spot where he was stabbed by his friend Ava with a concealed knife.

     Heh... it’s a sore subject, as well as a bit of a lengthy story, but to cut it semi-short, his ‘friend’ (misses her? never wants to see her again? just wants to make sure she’s at least alive and well after she vanished? it’s complicated) asked the kit to spar for a little bit of training. But in the throes of combat, combat she entered pre-injured mind you, the losing rabbit Ava had a moment where thoughts lapsed into a worse place. A desperate place. It found herself perceiving this friendly bout as something much more serious. A battle where it was life or death, much like the fights that took place during the war against the Eggman Army during the events of Sonic Forces. 

     So, a desperation attack was performed as she remained lying still on the ground, prompting Tails come closer as she intentionally played into his kindhearted nature and need to check on his downed friend. That is where the moment was perfect. Remove a hidden knife from the upper leg. Strike the kit in the stomach to stay safe. Luckily, her consciousness reconnected in time to minimize the damage, angling the attack so that the fox’s death wasn’t so assured. But the damage was certainly done, and boy was it done, sending Tails to the hospital for a number of weeks as he healed. 

     Now does the fox hold a scar on his stomach where the fur refuses to grow as high as it once did, as well as a slight aversion to knives in particular. They are handled notably slowly, and the wild usage of them by any individual will prompt a great rise from the fox, voice raising instantly as it’s demanded that such a thing is handled properly.

LOST AND FOUND - did your muse ever lose something dear to them?

     Though it was only temporary, Tails lost his brother, Sonic, during the events of Sonic Forces. It messed with the mind in ways the fox never could have anticipated, sending him down on a path to become the next Sonic the Hedgehog as his place was oh so suddenly left vacant and hollow. And who else better than to fill the spot of the wandering hero as free as the wind than his trusty sidekick? 

     Only... Tails isn’t Sonic. Tails will never be Sonic. For nobody is Sonic. It was an awful time of relapse for the fox, taking back his beliefs that his differences from his brother is what made him special and worthwhile, instead giving his entire self to be just like Sonic akin to times long past. Shouldering the world alone, giving a ruined Eggman-ruled land the Sonic they desperately needed.

     It is an understatement to say that he crumpled pitifully under such colossal weight. Fighting alone is, plain and simply, not Tails’s strongsuit. Lone battles against robotic swarms were won with dire costs, a body dancing a fiery tango with full-system failures on the hour. But Sonic wouldn’t quit, he’d see these towns plights to the end! He wouldn’t fall, he’d summon the strength and finish the job! If Sonic could do it, why can’t the fox?! He’ll save everyone, he’ll do Sonic proud! He’ll...

     He’ll later be found unconscious in a field by the Resistance, his downed body being brought back to their base after his sudden disappearance after Sonic’s ‘passing’, requiring extended nursing for internal damage and exhaustion. He had never seen Amy and Knuckles look so worried.
