The resurrection of my Sonic fixation after 14 years of dormancy necessitated I take another stab at my childhood Sonic OC

This is Coatl the Echidna. She is formerly-a-normal-mobian currently-a-golem-of-sorts, from a different ancient echidna tribe than the one Knuckles is descended from. A great hero of her time 3,000 years ago, she voluntarily underwent the ritual to take on this form in order to prepare for battle against Pachacamac's invading army. Her golem form was intended to allow her to offensively channel the power of the Master Emerald*. However, during that time, the Knuckles Tribe were instead destroyed by Chaos for their hubris. Fearing that they themselves had taken a step too far and would likewise suffer the wrath of a god for it, instead of waking Coatl up, her tribe elected to seal her away in a tomb and put the whole thing to rest.

She's accidentally awoken in the modern day, deeply confused and not knowing what happened or why she's been asleep for so long... or what anyone is saying, leading to a long series of misunderstandings that are eventually cleared up. (More thoughts below cut)

Story wise she functionally serves as someone who can share a bit of Echidna culture with Knuckles (extremely old Echidna culture, but still). He's still stuck as the Last Echidna, considering she's a severed soul tethered to a clay body, but at least he's not completely alone anymore, and has someone who can keep an eye on the ME and afford him a bit more freedom.

*It doesn't really work out this way, given the Master Emerald is sentient -- instead Coatl ends up with a somewhat symbiotic/parasitic relationship with the Master Emerald, where she's able to use its power when it wants her to, and likewise is at times possessed by it and used as a tool through which it extends its will. She resents it to a certain degree, while also revering it as a god.

I’d love to hear the slutty Tom Cruise stories you’ve heard 👀

Tom Cruise was pulled into Scientology because in 1988 his first wife Mimi Rogers freaked out that her 25 year old formerly repressed Catholic global movie star husband whom she convinced to marry her could not keep it in his pants to save his life and was having sex with any willing woman or man he could find (and considering he was Him and looked like That it was basically everyone on earth) and he did not want to stop partying and doing coke with his fellow movie star friends so she made him go to Scientology marriage counseling and they brainwashed him enough to get him to stop doing coke but apparently despite their best efforts to keep him in the closet they’ve never been able to fix his sexual appetites and drive

Me watching Hellsing 2001: it was fun but I don't know if this is really my thing, the aesthetics go hard but I don't think this will turn into a fixation. Really like Alucard though he's hot.

Me watching Hellsing Ultimate: ohhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this is my thing, this is so my thing oh god I love this ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I can feel it taking over braincells. I'm now deeply in love with Alucard.

Ngl, I am not watching the second seasons of the Rings of Power because I honestly did not appreciate the way they handled Galadriel's character and her relationship with Celeborn.

I may be IMMENSELY biased, because Galadriel and Celeborn were always my favourite couple within the Universe of Tolkien, second only to Faramir and Eowyn and Beren and Luthién.

But I hate to see how they completely discarded the man that gave Galadriel her name.

Like, Alatáriel is Celeborn's Epessë for her. She was known around Middle Earth with the name her beloved gave her, because it was the most beautiful of her names.

And he was handwaved away, in favour of whatever chemistry they wanted to create between her and Halbrand.

Like no.

No.

As much as I appreciate the dynamic (because it truly is one of my most favourite), the fact that they did this to Galadriel and Celeborn just didn't sit right with me.

They are THE couple. Silver and Gold, Moon and Sun, Lord of Lorien and Lady of Light.

Like nope.

I do not judge anyone that ship Galadriel with Halbrand, the more power to them for doing so, and I truly hope they enjoy their ship and have all the fun.

But for me, personally, the absence of Celeborn was a complete deal breaker.

^^^^^THESE TWO ARE THE ONE I WILL DIE FOR ON THIS HILL ALONE IF I MUST.

Ok so I think right now is the perfect time to say that I think Steph would’ve never stopped being Batgirl if it wasn’t for the New 52 and I think she actually works rlly well as batgirl (she may even be the best batgirl?????🤨🤨🤨)

Debate me on this, I love civilized discussion of conflicting interest on the internet (where those kinds of things totally happen)

I feel like this is a good time to remind my followers of the full-circleness of it all; the 2001 Queen of the Damned film with rockstar Lestat featured songs composed by Jonathan Davis of Korn, my absolute favorite singer throughout my teenage years (and to this day, lbr). Before getting into IWTV I enjoyed those songs on their own, having no real idea of what they were supposed to be about. Now, we're getting actual rockstar Lestat, and looking back relistening to those nu metal rockstar Lestat songs, knowing that the singer that's been absolutely formative for me is singing from the pov of Lestat (and Akasha), a character that's become such a big part of my life as well.

it's just yet another way everything is connected and the world's smaller than you think.

Anyway if you haven't heard his original compositions for QOTD that he himself sings on the soundtrack, they're really, really good- System, Forsaken, Careless, Redeemer, Slept So Long, Not Meant For Me... give 'em a listen! He's done all of them live many years later too, and there's great recordings of those.

(the live version of Careless is truly extraordinary imo...)

I am alone on this barren earth (Jason Todd liker and Mia Dearden liker who honestly thinks issues 69-72 of the 2001 Green Arrow run are fun and good and would really like to talk about them beyond "Jason Todd was ooc and irredeemable there because he was trauma-dumping on Mia but also everything he said was fake and made up and he was manipulating her to become his sidekick and he blew up her school in retaliation because she didn't so really we should ignore the whole comic as bad writing /or agree he should just be read as an sadistic sidekick killer" (None of which is true and over half of which is directly stated to be false in the comic's text) but all people ever have to say about the comic is weird wrong takes about the three pages in which the gym fight happens ripped out of the very interesting and fun surrounding context)
