[lookineedsleep]

Here i stand, the only John Juniper and Handler shipper in this fandom making content for myself

[mooncakehalo]

Okay, so........ i did a small challenge for myself to see if i could draw some of others Agent Phoenix's, and draw them similarly.. (If you even understand, plus i did this bc i was bored and ran out of food last night)

Heres my rating for it or whatever:

heres-to-all-that-is-mine... or bugtoast????? (Im too tired for this crap) - 9/10 or 10/10

operationjetset - 9.5/10

purplebehittindifferent - 10/10

solobodor - 11/10

icecreampizzer - 8.5/10

agent-calivide - 9.5/10

Idk why the fuck im rating them like that, but whatever (My back and shoulders are aching, welp)

Ive also lost interested in drawing(/animating) anything else than IEYTD

What should have been the first victim, and the most tasty victim for the worm, came last and the worm even gave the machine a fighting chance, but none of that matters in the end because metal was dead long before this encounter, fate decided as soon as Slammer got his host.

I'd like to thank the extremely lovely artist who helped me finish off the important 'sonic game' side of Slammer Sonic's story!

@the-hidden-levels

this journey started October 25th in 2022 with the Tails Comic! and now it ends with the Metal Sonic Comic thanks to them! and I'd love to give one last thanks to the artist who made this comic, and the ones who made the rest too!

Comics In Order Of The Slammer Virus Journey thru the Sonic CD Game, and the respective artists that brought these comics to life.

Tails (Click here) Artist: bugtoast

Knuckles (Click here) artist: Artist: crispy-dib

Robotnik (Click here) Artist: davidthephoneguy

Amy (Click here) Artist: an-artist-place-for-extra-art

Metal Sonic (this post your on lol) Artist: sonic-enterprise/the-hidden-levels

You might wonder...

Is that it for Slammer Sonic/Slammer Prime?

Nope! this final comic is just all the important stuff to explain how Slammer got his host/consumed a copy of Sonic CD, this takes place within the past.

At some future point I'll explore it's human victims and go in more in depth with the clones and their stories, but untill then ...

Favorite thing about starstruck?

Oh my GOD about a million and one things so I'm gonna try and zone in on the main point for me

I know that @neurotonic has talked it before and I think I've also spoken about it (AND it's also in Five Star Feature by @stellar-collective ) but SHHH it's genuinely like the source of the appeal of the dynamic for me. This being the whole "falling for an average joe" thing on Juniper's side.

Taking you on a little (personal?) history lesson of this ship, for AGES it was a nothingburger ship, only since like last year has it gained ANY traction, and the main source of content for it was me talking to my two friends, so I am DEEP into personal interpretation here. Alas, the early days of being into the ship, a big part of the reason that I started considering the ship was Reggie seemingly being so so smitten by Juniper, and thinking about how that dynamic would work post-canon (Remember, this is pre-IEYTD 3, so really so the fandom was both smaller AND anything post IEYTD 2's elevator crash was free game PLUS people were equally adamant that JJ wasn't/isn't dead). I actually met @bugtoast through beta reading his fic where JJ & Reggie teamed up to find a missing Phoenix, and while that fic wasn't a ship fic, it WAS what got me started thinking about it. This is because the two were suddenly on equal ground in which Reggie had a reason to really, REALLY hate Juniper, and a reason for Juniper to feel really, REALLY guilty/humbled. And so THIS lead to (across. Years of thinking about them on and off) my current personal favourite AU/dynamic for them!!

Just to get some stuff out the way (I've talked abt it before but ehhhhh), I've always headcanoned both Reggie and Juni as queer, and both as gay pretty solidly for a while now. Juniper definitely more repressed than Reggie (I personally love @operationjetset 's interpretation/comic on Juniper's queerness, literally made my jaw drop), and that plays a little into how I see the dynamic especially considering the time period and it exists in (late 60s (specifically 67/68 if we consider IEYTD 3)).

Basically, what really scratches my brain about the dynamic is Juniper ending up hopelessly smitten with Reggie, and Reggie having none of it, at least for a while, because. Well. A lot of reasons but mainly the whole trying to kill his agent and nuking the world, but also the personal (if parasocial) element of how Reggie used to adore Juniper, and him turning to hatred once he found out JJ was working for Zor as almost a defense mechanism to stop himself from falling back into that adoration. This of course turns into basically a complete role reversal! Yes there's differences as Reggie having a bit of a celebrity crush isn't as bad as Juniper literally having a sexuality crisis over having a crush on Crane BUT FUNDAMENTALLY it's the opposite thing.

This ends up working out REALLY well because it leads into a storyline where you can really cleanly give Juniper a redemption arc because he wants to be a better person so Reggie will at least LIKE him as a person again. Not for his stardom, not for his charisma, but for just being some dude. And Reggie is a good man, because while he knows that there's no obligation to like and especially not trust Juniper again, he can tell Juniper is trying to work on himself and he appreciates that.

And from there, once they start building up a genuine friendship with one another, THAT'S when I can see them stumbling into becoming partners, because for them I feel like it would just be a natural progression of their friendship (especially once JJ got through his internalised homophobia and such). I definitely feel like they would have weird dates, partially down to the time period, partially down to Reggie's odd and specific interests (SLAPS ROOF OF MY CORN HUSKING FANFIC), but I think Juniper would appriciate the really mundane nature of Crane's hobbies and Crane would enjoy having someone who was interested in doing his hobbies with them.

I think after typing this out I think I also like this ship because I see a lot of their dynamic as almost transactional? It's hard to explain but there's a lot of equality in how I feel they'd treat one another. An example would be yk Juniper indulging Reggie in his corn husking hobby (what a sentence), and then Reggie indulging in something like dancing with JJ. I can't quite explain it but yeah. Yeah they love doing hobbies together because they love existing together.

To summarise all of this, I just really like the whole idea of Juniper becoming a better person because he wants to be a better person for Reggie. ESPECIALLY if it comes with a side of not realising it at first. Goodlord I love them

Part 2

[project-retina]

Signing off!

Yeah. to put it bluntly: I just am not interested in the idea of this ask blog anymore. I had fun while it lasted, but, I don't think it'll continue. I'll keep the blog up for archival reasons, and if anyone else in the fanbase wishes to pick up where I'm leaving this off, they can feel free to do so.

The reason i'm officially ending it here is because 1, I don't wanna pull a valve and leave y'all waiting for closure any longer 2, I just have better ideas for the IEYTD franchise. Better Au ideas etc. etc. 3, I was way too ambitious with the scope of this AU. Took on more than I could chew, yknow?

I will definitely continue creating IEYTD content every now and then on my main blog (@bugtoast) in case any of y'all are worried about that, but as for this blog, I think i'm done.

I'm really sorry to anyone who was enthusiastic about this blog (especially my besties in this fandom YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE /positive), but it just isn't continuing.

I'm forever grateful to anyone who sent asks or drew fanart or even just reblogged with little messages in the tags! you all gave me all the encouragement and more that I could've ever needed. To you, thank you.

Anyways, as promised when i made this blog, here's what the plotline of this comic WOULD'VE been if it had been finished. Spoilers will be present under the "Read more".

Basically, Phoenix does the third game missions (with juniper now being stuck with Handler), but when they awake on the beach, they're found by a zoraxis member.

The Zoraxis member obviously brings Phoenix to Zor, and Phoenix learns of Zor's next master plan: To find a way to control time, so that they can go back in time and destroy the agency before it even started.

It's here that we learn that Zor used to be Reggie(Handler)'s Handler before something happened that forced Reggie to retire to his current position, and that Handler and Zor used to have a similar relationship to that of Phoenix and Handler's current one.

There was more, but I honestly forgot what happens next. All i remember from here on out is that Zor and the Main crew end up teaming up, destroying the Agency (which was the real villain the whole time) and all ends up good.

I know it isnt the best plotline, but its the one I came up with and had in mind for this ask blog while writing it.

I don't really have much else to say. Just? thank you for reading, and thank you all for supporting me up until this point.

[bugtoast]

here's an unfinished W2MH AU comic that idk if im gonna finish. i thought it was cute though, and didn't wanna let it go to waste ^^

[mistakes-have-been-made]

Hi so I'm back w some more art but this time I drew ppls agent phoenixs!! :D

I honestly hope ppl like these

I'll probably make a pt 2 some time in the future (hopefully before the game comes out)

Know what? Agent Pheonix is my absolute favourite Secret Agent/Spy character of all time and that's down to how open the character is to interpretation from each individual player as well as their abilities and gimmick adds up to a character I never tire seeing art of and imagining myself in their posistion. I know it might be unfair to call them an actual character but I don't care I love them

🐻, 🎙️, and ✈️ for the ask game :]

Oh boy, i almost forgot about this!

Okay, for 🐻 , I'd say Juniper is still my favorite, I just love dramatic characters! Other than the main 6 though, i gotta say it, Anna Unanova is underrated! it's a hill I will gladly die on.

For 🎙 , I honestly can't think of one, I haven't played in ages! but I'm gonna circle back to this sometime (maybe I'll replay ieytd3, dunno)

and For ✈, 100% its @bugtoast! I've always loved their artstyle, and their ask blog series will forever be one of my favorite fics, like, ever! But also maybe @purple-to-my-tangerine? I really like their art too!

[the-phantom-mask]

Spoilers for all IEYTD Games ahead!

(more under the cut)

This is an AU canon divergence ask blog set after the events of IEYTD 3. I am aware the character I depict as the Phantom is more than likely NOT the Phantom, but that's the fun of an AU - it doesn't have to follow canon/perceived canon.

On another note, I know this blog's layout is incredibly similar to the other IEYTD blogs run by @/bugtoast, but I did work on @/agency-unofficial for a while as well as answering some asks for a period of time. It's the only ask blog I've worked on and the way the layout for those blogs is the most familiar to me, so that's why I'm keeping it similar here.

A similar explanation runs for the designs, because me and Bug are friends, the way he draws them rubbed off on me so my roots are VERY obvious lmao.

As for loose TWs:

Scars & Injury

Unreality

I'll add more as they are needed!
