Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.

What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.

What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...

What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..

Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself

[kinki-cami]

Marsh, remember, we're asleep, dont make any sounds... (not that you can because youre not a plush with a voice box but still.) The worst part about trying to pretend to be asleep is that your eyes want to be open so they keep trying to open but your also trying to keep them shut without squeezing them so they Involuntary flutter while being closed. And the worst part is that i can hear that affini approaching this room. Do affini use the bathroom? I hope thats where theyre going and arent- aaaand it is this room. Fuck. Ok hopefully they dont try to kill mee🎶

"Well, isnt my sweet petal so cute when asleep~" H-how did that plant know i was trans? AAAHHHH and they called me cute. "I was sure she was much more of a stone sleeper. Perhaps her blood sugar is just low, her files did say she had diabetes." Oh shit. Ok, they know i have diabetes, as long as they dont try to do anything I'll be fine. "I ought to wake her, however, just to be certain." Ok this plant is definitely just mocking me at this point.

"Petal. Petal." The affini said in a quiet voice, gently shaking her shoulder. "Well, i know you sleep like a rock, but i also know you dont sleep THIS much like a rock. I had to put your stuffed animal on the other side of you so you wouldnt accidently throw it off again." She opened her eyes in fear, before promptly closing them and hugged her plush tight.

She whispered something quiet enough that it was completely inunderstandable.

"What was that petal?"

"they're not an animal" she whispered barely understandable in a grumpy voice, a twinge of fear underlying the grumpiness.

"Oh well do you mind telling me what it is while i take you blood sugar then?"

"Why should i when youre probably just going to kill me soon anyway..." She could feel the clouds of depression flooding her mind. The sheer fear and anxiety making her want to give up but she wanted to hold out for just a little bit longer.

"And why would I want to kill you, cutie?"

Being called that shut her mind down momentarily. "I dont know... its all just stupid rumors, im sorry" her voice started to shake as she finished the sentence.

"It's alright petal, no need to be sorry, here why dont we give you something to calm you down."

"No!" She screamed, terrified something bad was going to happen to her. "Please... can you just... let me come to terms with my fate please?"

"And what fate would that be?" The affini was keeping a calm voice and let her just talk. According to what the affini read about her she wasnt too talkative and seemingly kept to herself, she couldnt help but notice just how much this little sophont was talking compared to others who were quiet and kept to themselves.

"Uh-Umm enslavement or something-i dont know-i want to at least say goodbye to myself and everything before anythingharsh or strict comes to me" at this point she was uncontrollably crying, her mind rushing with every possible negative thing that could happen to her.

"Well, if you're so worried about what you think might happen, do you want me to tell you what we do to cuties such as yourself?"

She thought for a moment before coming to the conclusion of 'well if i know whatll happen i cojld better mentally prepare for it' "uh-um, sure" she said between sobs

"Well, petal, what we do is we take everyone who is sad or sick or fussy or destructive and we bring them into our homes and make them feel better, sure they become our pets, but how you used to live it was either suffer or suffer more, but here you have every need taken care of without any need for debts. But the more you resist the more drastic we take things, nothing too bad really, some just need to have all of their stresses taken away, even if they wont admit it. So whatll happen with you is first we'll fix you right up making your body work how its supposed to, so you wont be reliant on taking artificial insulin. Then what we'll do is give you some drugs to take away aaany of your stresses and then we'll find just the right affini for you, or at least whoever wants to take care of you whichever comes first!"

After what she felt was a bunch of rambling coming from the affini, she calmed down a little, as why would someone who sounds like theyre both really happy to explain this and a bit like theyre daydreaming about what theyre talking about, especially, based on what she could hear through her thoughts, sounded like someone who didnt purposely deal any harm to people.

She was able to calm down just wnough to stop crying and after a bit of adjustment and drying her eyes she looked up at an affini for what felt like the first, in context time. It was a little unsettling, vines forming what look like they should be lips, and wood surrounding majority of the face making an uncanny humanoid face. Her mind didnt react too too due to the adrenaline of fear coursing through her veins at the time, a rather large cloud of depression clouding her judgement as well.

"So is there anything else you would like to know?" The affini cheerfully exclaimed.

"Umm... will i be stuck here forever?"

"If by here you mean with an affini, then yes, if you mean with me, probably not, i dont normally take pets, just sorta..." she helicoptered her arms around, "rehabilitate them is all, well not even that, but its close to what i do, think of me as your live-in therapist. And if you mean on this ship, then definitely not, unless you want to of course, that CAN be arranged. Thats up to you, however."

"Gods please no, i dont want to be stuck again!"

"Of course! I mean you'll have to be here for a few days first before ANYTHING else can happen, just so we know for sure you wont... try anything. Anyway if you dont mind I'll be taking your blood sugar now."

"O-ok umm do you need to-" she froze as the affini stuck one of its needles into her arm.

"Im sorry petal, do you not like needles?"

"no" she said quietly, still trying her best not to move.

"I'm sorry would you like to do it another way next time?" The affini asked, removing their needle from her arm.

"Yes please." She responded quietly. She felt herself calming down, finding it dofficult to remember anything since she tried feigning sleep.

"Good, now petal, would you like to introduce yourself or would you like me to introduce myself first?"

G & M for the fandom ask meme! 💜

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

Ever so many! Early entrants before I knew fandom was a thing would probably have included Jo/Friedrich (Little Women), Han/Leia (Star Wars), and Alanna of Trebond/Liam Ironarm (Tortall books), although I came around on George pretty handily by the time I finished Lioness Rampant. Ron/Hermione was the first pairing I ever read fic for, though!

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Amy Santiago

[sonknuxadow]

i think i do want amy and rouge to be in the next sonic movie, especially if its gonna be an sa2 adaptation, but i cant help but worry that if they try to introduce shadow AND rouge AND amy in the same movie then at least one of those characters (most likely amy. tbh.) isnt gonna get the amount of screentime and development that they deserve. especially considering in the game timeline amy was introduced much earlier and by sa2 was already an established character while rouge and shadow were the newcomers. and then theres also the human characters who are gonna be making the cast a lot bigger than it was in the game so more people to divide the screentime among. like what if amy is in sonic 3 and she gets like 5 minutes of screentime and her big moment with shadow is given to another character again

This is going to get long. Sorry Op, but sometimes a post just happens to conincide whislt my writing/anlysis brain is on and well.. this happens:

I know this is sonadow posting but ignoring the shipping aspect- this actually encapulates a constant trait of Shadow the Hedgehog (and team dark as well) in which he often lacks the desire or need to constantly SAY or act (in the socially obvious sense atleast) as if he cares or is concerned about you (most people will consider his behavior "tsundere"-like in the fact that he openly has tendencies to deny any allegations of caring for someone, especially that of Sonic).

However,

whats intresting to is that not only does Sonic seem aware of this factoid (that others, aside from team dark memebers as they all dervive from similar ways of expression, dont seem to actievly be aware of), but openly engages with it in a fun, lighthearted and teasing way. Though Sonic is known for his mockery and clowning, when its particularly aimed at Shadow, it always feels like a confirmation rather than a sign of "just messin with him" (though of course it can always be the case).

Its not the best example but- lets say sonic is in need of help and Shadow is on a mission and on the way he decides has to save him. So, on the outside he appears more focused on external things, simply "doing this cause buissness is buissness" or he may be annoyed and scold Sonic for being too reckless and forcing him to have to save him on a mission.

Sonic, brushes it off and is joking about the situation- showing the more braver and stronger front of his persona. This however, may cause Shadow to get angry or annoyed as the light banter contrasts with the emergency.

So basically, the whole thinh could be chalked up to "Shadow get annoyed at Sonic for being dumb and Sonic teases Shadow cause he likes to mess with people" and nothing more.

But then if you examined it a bit more, it could be something more akin to "Shadow is very worried and concerned with Sonic being in danger and actively dislikes it when he is put in troubling situations, he has doesnt express this in a "oh my gosh are you okay🥺?!" So intead he resorts to simple correction of action via light "scolding" or simply telling him not to do it again. (In colors DS, when shadow was worried about his saftey, its simply a "good, your back." Or something similar. Again. Its always implied with him and never stated upfront.) Whilst Sonic, whom understands that hes worried, but requires some amount of vocalized validation to this fact, prys it out of him via the teasing, through the light banter of "why? you worried😏? ", "i didnt know you were such a good hugger" or something like that.

I think this attitude is what makes him feel safer around the people he is with, as if they are able to handle the mocking tone of Sonics more present persona, it would be safe to say that he can trust them enough to feel comfortable lets say.. be carried in someones arms in the middle of space while hes practically dying, because if they can handle the "annoying" part of him and still care about him deeply, then thats a keeper.

I think theres a trust and validation in that aspect.

(I think this especially also plays into characters like team dark, or even knuckles and Blaze. I think hes much softer on characters like Amy and Tails.)

Especially when you realise that Sonic was so pissed off at shadow he actively antagonized and called him a "faker" (yeah thats Sonic's thing. He started that.) And somehow, not only was Shadow about to play off of that in a fun way, he used it to make himself look "better" than Sonic and might actually be one of the first characters in game (that i know of) other than eggman to actually have seriously gotten on his nerves (to the point he was pacing around in jail all like pissed off), which is hilarious.

But overall, it just shows that Shadow can effectively take the worst of Sonic and send it back in a fun way (which grabs at Sonic's addrenline junkie fun-time addicted brain). If anything, once Shadow understands that Sonic literally is "what you see is what you get" he accepts that.

I think there thats where that respect comes from. In both parties as Shadow respects Sonics autheticty and expression, and in i think he may even find an appreciation for it.

Furthermore, you also can see how Sonic is capable of reading people quite well, and is able to understand other peoples thought proccess (which makes him good at making quick jabs that piss them off).

So when swapping the tables and haing Shadow in danger and Sonic the savior, the two probably would function the same way as i discussed prior- except sonic is much more capable of expressing the easy-to-pick up on "oh my gosh are you okay🥺?!" Type stuff. He might even literally say "ohmygosh r u okay 🥺?!" If hes THAT worried.. So Shadow never needs to "pry" anything out of him. In this light, Shadow is well aware thay Sonic cares about him (hes just annoying about it). Which makes it so that what Shadows gains from Sonic is less of that "validation & trust/comfort" and more of.. acceptance and understanding.

Because Shadow is often a character that in-universe is either mythologized, demonized or inhumanized ( inhedgehogized???) But when introduced to Sonic (who remind you is the FIRST character to seriously call Shadow a "heroic hedgehog" or something akin to that)

He becomes well. "shadow the hedgehog" not "Shadow the sciene project" or "Shadow the Ultimate lifeform" or "Shadow the dangerous entity" or what not. Theres a sense of "i take you as you are" type of way that Sonic gives to him. And with that he accepts whatever form Shadoe comes to him with. Never forcing anything on or away from him (to the point where Shadow straight up gives him his own "title" which again, is something SO intergral to who he is that the fact Shadow even did that just shows how much importance Sonic reprenst in his life. It took one person to show him that authenticty and acceptance thats hes

been craving ever since well.. probably maria). I think thats where that particular respect comes from and in some ways? Especially during the very last parts of SA2 where Shadow yells out to him the "i think your the ultimate lifeform!" To sonic and in turn when Shadow "dies", Sonic says hes "Shadow. Shadow the hedgehog" theres a tradeoff there.

The fact of the matter is, i think its more than just "oh look at this shadow says he isnt going to save him but then actually does" because 1. Two difrenet contexts (obviously) but 2. I dont think its even unrealistic for shadow to say he "wont save him" but then actually does.

He cares about Sonic too much to actually let shitty things happen, but wont actively coddle him like team sonic would. If anything, i personally think its more of I "i wont save you, so dont do something stupid, because then thats your fault and im not responsible for cleaning up after you." And less of a "i wont save you, I would let you get hurt/injured and die" type ordeal?

Idk, what do you, dear reader, have to say about this?

thinking....

Honestly, I am pretty frustrated by the "haha why would anyone hate ace people" responses to Rowling's tweet.

Don't get me wrong, the support is nice. But if you want to be an ally, you have to do so on our terms, not yours. And that means actually engaging with the aspec community, not just posting positivity every now and again. And what those responses highlight to me is what I've known for a while; you guys only support aspec people when it's easy and convenient.

It's easy to support aspec people when it's J.K. Rowling being awful again. It's easy to support us when it's just reblogging an "aspec people are queer" post.

But what about when we are talking about amatonormativity and the relationship hierarchy? When we are discussing the enforcement of compulsory sexuality? When we are pushing for greater awareness and support for aspec identities that are not asexuality or aromanticism? When we are criticizing terminology that you use but harms us? Because I can tell you right now, I rarely see allo people engage with those posts.

Why do people hate asexuality (or any other aspec identity)? Because it challenges the societal norms that benefit them. And that is uncomfortable and scary. So they turn to hate and oppression in order to assure that the changes we push by just openly existing never happen.

That means that to be a good aspec ally, you can't just make a positivity post every now and again, and you can't just laugh about how stupid aphobes are. You have to openly challenge the societal norms that harm us, even if they benefit you. Including but not limited to:

The idea that romantic and sexual attraction is the default state of being (amatonormativity)

The idea that a romantic, sexual relationship completes a person

People in marriages receiving special privileges and benefits

The idea that platonic, familial, etc. attraction are default states of being

The idea that not feeling some form of attraction must be compensated for through another form of attraction

The idea that love (not just romantic) is inherently morally good, while not feeling love is inherently a moral failing

The idea that any one form of relationship is inherently more important or deeper than any other (relationship hierarchy)

The idea that any one thing makes someone human

The idea that not having sex is shameful or infantile

The idea that having sex without romantic love is callous

Gendered divides of sexual and romantic attraction

Other aspec people please feel free to add on/challenge any of this. Allo (not aspec) people please feel free to ask questions.
