#Force Matrix

[thevoidiliketoshoutinto]

Shadow when Eggman wakes him up after decades of stasis.

Shadow when he uses Chaos Control to slow down time.

Shadow when he & Sonic hear Live & Learn & go into Super mode together.

Being constantly surrounded by the presence of a loving God sounds great until you realize you never know when his freaky fuckin eyes are gonna show up to check on you.

And man. They do it a LOT.

star wars is so good because it has a built-in deus ex machina trope that is frequently referred to by people in that universe. "there is no such thing as luck" there sure isn't buddy!! the cosmic forces that be specifically designed YOU as their special little blorbo for the next 15 consecutive minutes!!! have fun!!

how we feeling about Cy being an unauthorised program injected into the Matrix from the outside world and programmed to be nothing more than a silly distraction for Agents to put up with and being stuck in a loop of spawning in, being hunted down and questioned, and being killed or something. my dumb ass for real

[yuuminni]

busted out fucking excel to solve this fucking puzzle and now i have to tell everyone about it

[nepthesperglord]

How do I find more mutuals?

Also I'm just gonna say that even if it were true that Rodimus was a """""true Prime"""" and Optimus wasn't, that isn't as much of an L for Optimus as people seemingly want it to be.

Like so you're telling me Optimus was never a chosen hero and the burden of the Matrix/leadership pained him morally, emotionally, and physically, yet he still survived 4 million years of war?

You're telling me he wasn't God's Designated Special Boy but he still tried his best to live up to that impossible ideal to the point of developing serious depression and suicidal ideation as a result of so much goddamn loneliness and self-doubt?

Optimus wasn't a "true Prime" and yet he still believed in ideals of reconciliation and ending the cycle of violence? He wasn't a true Prime but he still stayed on Cybertron trying to fix a broken, broken society while also trying to stop Earth from being invaded for a second time? He didn't even need to do that he could've just stayed in exile which he was originally supposed to do all along, and which he would've personally preferred?? You're telling me that Optimus wasn't Primus' Specialest Boy And Chosen Leader and yet he stepped into leadership anyways bc he perceived that there was injustice to be fixed??

Wow yeah I guess Optimus is just such an inferior leader, clearly his actual actions/moral character as person don't matter and his "worthiness" should be judged solely on whether the Magic Cybertronian 8 Ball liked him or not.

SHUT UP everyone SHUT UP. I just realized Venom is gonna be the first trilogy ever where I'll have watched every film in theaters during the original release. The first time EVER for me???

6 years. I was just finishing middle school and now I'm half way through college. And the whole time ive had the same interest in the world's most fuckable alien. There is not a single other thing that I have consistenty remained interested in in the past 6 years. And I get to watch 3/3 in theaters. How wonderful. How marvelous. Even if I DO have to sit between my straightest friend and my father. That's so crazy

(re the latest preview)

The Rani tries to drug/brainwash the Doctor in order to control the perception filter through him (bigger scale version of the "drugging him and pretending to be Mel" scheme)? The Wish World was manifested in an instant, but feels like it's always been that way as long as the Doctor believes it? He wakes up and attempts to subvert her from the inside (also like Time and the Rani), forcing her into Plan B (get Rogue to remove the Doctor from reality so she can use Conrad as her living interface/video game controller instead)?

Happy Halloween 2023!

This is something long overdue. Even though I stopped posting my commissions on here that doesn't mean I've stopped getting them!

I've especially enjoyed getting Halloween commissions because those are really fun to conceive, order, and see made into reality. I've especially enjoyed getting them from Aeolus06 and he's never disappointed. Sadly due to me being between jobs I couldn't get any this year. :( That said I've decided to use this as an opportunity to show what I've got over the last few years and hopefully you'll love them as much as I do! :)

These first four are unique in that these were all from the same year (2020 to be exact). Since Aeo has a cool down period between commissions, I actually got these all done over a period of a few months. XD Took a lot of luck and prayer, but I got all the ideas I wanted done!

First one was probably the most complex, but was worth it because of how well it fit. Star, Marco, and Hekapoo from Star vs The Forces of Evil as AndrAIa, Matrix, and Older!AndrAIa from Reboot! Much like Matrix, Marco had a bit of age jumping that fit naturally (especially body types and eye scars). Plus Star and Hekapoo are shipped pretty hard with him so it was natural they dress as the different versions of Matrix's lady love.

Also, Fun Fact: Marco's scar/prosthetic eye is on the wrong side compared to his costume, but I felt it was better to ignore it than have Aeo flip the entire costume. XD

Next up we had some classic hotties from Canada, Lindsay and Courtney. Everyone with a pulse will know I'm a Courtney fan, so I'm always eager to give her some love. And while I'm not AS big on Lindsay, she's a fun character and I have some friends who love her too so I didn't mind them sharing the spotlight.

Obviously the theme/inspiration behind this pics conception is the fact Lindsay and Courtney pack the biggest T and A on the island respectively, so they needed some costumes to illustrate that. Thus we got Courtney as everyone's fave lady wrestler Rainbow Mika from Street Fighter and Lindsay as the boxing cheerleader Tiffany Lords from Rival Schools. Both ladies who kick ass and look good doing it! Give these ladies some love folks!

Another Fun Fact: This one took faster to do than I expected, mostly cause I didn't realize my refs were thigh high. In the end I feel it still looked good and didn't bother bringing it up. XD

Here's another cute couple and one I think deserves more love. Eclipsa Butterfly and Globgor are also from SVTFOE and honestly very sweet and adorable. While they're regarded as evil by less tolerant folk, they're honestly some of the sweetest characters you'll see on the show. I feel this is a nice contrast to their costumes, Sindel and Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat. I went with the MK9 versions of their outfits since they were both modern and simple. Didn't wanna be THAT guy who commissions SUPER complicated outfits. I'm not a sadist! While later games would retcon Sindel into being just as evil as Shao (something thankfully corrected in MK1) I still feel this outfit and character works for Eclipsa, even if she and her hubby are as far from evil as you can get. XD

Final pic of this year is another couples pic with Danny Fenton and Paulina Sanchez. I ship these two and take no shame in it. This was originally gonna just be Paulina as Phantom Girl from Legion of Superheroes since the name and colors matched Danny perfectly. But then I figured just having Paulina in costume wouldn't be fair, so I had him dress up as Timberwolf, since I recall them having a few moments in the cartoon. A cartoon, much like this pairing, is very underrated. XD

Now to 2021! This was a fun crossover and and me deciding to avoid "themes" and combining two character pin-ups in one! Once again we have Hekapoo and this year she's dressed up as Otedamako. Who's that? Only my fave Monster of the Day from Sailor Moon! :3 To her side with have a humanoid Rarity showing off her darkside as Martha from Helluva Boss! This one came from the animated opening in G5 that had Rarity showing off some spiky teeth and a crazy look in her eyes. IMMEDIATELY brought Martha too mind. All and all, very happy with how these two came out!

And now to the prior year of 2022. By this point Aeo started coloring the stream commissions and honestly, it was worth the price increase. Dude is a machine! If this one has a theme it's basically me taking the waifus of my close friends (Chill, Terrible, and Raccoon) and dressing them as other sexy waifus. From left to right we have Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia dressed as Harlequin, the Harley Quinn of the Gods and Monsters film. A very hot/underrated design for a VERY twisted take on the character. Toga makes it work! Front and center we have Wilhamena Mettle from OK K.O.! as Starfire, specifically the comic book version for obvious reasons. XD Finally we have Juri Han from Street Fighter dressed in the tight leathers of Penelope Spectra from Danny Phantom, specifically her second form. Lot of specifics in this piece. XD

Final Fun Fact: Was tempted to have Wilhamena as Star Canary, the fusion of Starfire and Black Canary from the Batman/Superman comic. Very hot design. XD

And a bit of a bonus! I ended up really helping out a new friend on deviantART back in 2020 and got to get a bit of art as a thank you. Courtesy of XJKenny we have Meteora Butterfly, daughter of Eclipsa and Globgor as Mileena. Also her MK9 design, this not only works for Meteora herself given her story, but also matches up with her parents' costumes as well!

Well that's everything I wanted to share this year! This has been a rough year for me personally and for the world as a whole. But I'm hoping we can turn things around a bit with what bit of the year we have left.

Happy Halloween everyone! Stay scared and stay safe! 👻 🎃

The concept of "False" Primes— well how about the concept of Primus being imperfect? Of it choosing from the increasingly select mechs able allowed to be in the Matrix's vicinity (and over the eons it's pinballed around the era's and/or previous Prime's idea of what's most important— those most trusted, brave, pious, capable, knowledgeable, wealthy, noble) and picking the one with the most potential? For greatness, kindness, love, mercy.

And Primus being let down increasingly more often. And, cyclically, the Matrix stops directing, stops guiding, stops teaching; goes cold.

Primus, that which the downtrodden and despairing look to for miracles and better paths, itself losing hope. Disappointed continually by its own children. Losing them to greed, bribes, threats, blackmail, lust, negligence, incompetence, ambition, delusions of grandeur. The holiest of lights growing dimmer with each lifetime. Getting buried.

But there always being another spark. Another bot. Another day.

'...Perhaps this one....'

Infinite Deserved a Better Character Arc

I listened to this song as the end of Matrix Resurrections and it fits...it also fits the character of BRZRKR really well. Great theme for the Hot Topic teen that lives in me rent free lol!

Anyway I played Sonic Forces a few years ago. Made a cat OC. Got through the whole game in one sitting, and never touched it again. The character of Infinite...was not written well, at all. Which is such a shame, because the theme of being manipulated, mind controlled by Eggman/the Phantom Ruby, and then him believing in the lies, the pain, the loss of the OC and his jackal friends, would have made for a much deeper plot point if the writers of this game didn't half ass it. I said it. This game's story was completely half assed.

The Sonic Forces soundtrack was amazing though. The EDM, the techno theme fit beautifully with the environment.

The trippy shifting of reality with the Phantom Ruby, warping space-time, altering memories--that could have been expanded upon, built the mystery out more. Have the OC be part of a larger story, where you have to solve the mystery of Infinite, a la Neo taking on Agent Smith, only for your forces to unite in the end. Thus the title.

I'd love to see this character be revived and redone in a future Sonic title. They have Sage for Frontiers but honestly I think Infinite deserved the comeback in that game vs the new AI character. Have the Titans be Infinite's internal pain, warped and made real, and Sonic is there to encourage him to see the light as it were, to make peace with himself and merge with the others on the Islands. To set his heart free, let the Phantom Ruby and the Koco be destroyed to reset the timeline. Idk.

I'm rambling now, but I hope you like the stream-of-consciousness about a game I played once and forgot about until I binged The Matrix.

it's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?
