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.
#sonic oc#sonic fan character#sonic the hedgehog#this character is so incredibly old I literally have art I drew of her when I was 4#from back in 2001?#I'm still not certain of her feats back in her hero days... I've been toying with the idea of her having fought the black arms#if their comet really does come around every 50 years#which is extremely frequent lmao#knuckles the echidna#coatl the echidna

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
#going back in time to keep Tom Cruise from meeting Mimi Rogers like it’s that’s serious#Society If and all that#i think it’s also important that people know that there have been at least two documented cases of him trying to leave Scientology#and one time where he actually got out before they dragged him back and fully isolated him (2001)

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.
#im fighting back the beasts in my brain from going and buying the deluxe editions#WE GOTTA SAVE MONEY CALM DOWN#“it's only three volumes” BACK YOU GOBLINS WE CANNNT#off to etsy i go#hellsing#hellsing ultimate#hellsing 2001

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.
#Nemo babbles#The Rings of Power#Celeborn#Galadriel#do not mind me#I am just venting a little#When LotR came out in 2001#I was *enchanted* by Galadriel and Celeborn#the Gods only know the amount of times that I replayed the scene where the Company reaches Caras Galadhon#let me tell you - close to the thousand times and I am not exaggerating I was obsessed#and seeing what they have done to Galadriel and Celeborn just breaks my heart#I was so happy when I saw they were doing the TV series and it would also have Gil-Galad#but gods no#I would reconsider only if they were to bring back Celeborn and have him kick Halbrand's ass into fucking Mount Doom#like the real reason he is stuck there it's because of the ass whooping he got from Celeborn

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)
#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#barbara gordon#bette kane#batman#batgirl#batfamily#batfam#dc comics#spoiler#dc spoiler#wayne family adventures#no babs/ Cass disrespect#babs/Cass fans plz don’t dox me#also another hot take cass’ series from 2001 was boring af and everyone was super mean to Cass#(like literally everyone)#(Stephanie would call her stupid behind her back)(and Barbara would say it to her face)#(that last bits not even an exaggeration)#batgirls

I won at buying doujinshi today

So cute explodes
#yeah ill scan this. its only like the second half tho. and i dont remember the first half lol#i opened my package around 8 am then went back to sleep. its mostly a blur#distracted by testament being mentally ill and so cutesy pie#there isnt a ton of testament in the other stuff i got but there is an interesting gender moment from 1999#kind of changing my perception of when daisuke started really thinking about their gender.#because it is presumably a reference to that one transcending humanity daisuke quote. its so interesting.#best source we have is from march 2002 but ive seen it mentioned october 2001. and well. december 1999 now. crazy#i cant use doujinshi as a source though. few credibility steps below a 2ch post. which is already pretty rough.#but theres other evidence and also they are literally nonbinary now like its plausible we dont have to think too hard abt it its okay pleas#ive spent too much time thinking too hard about it.#the kat goes meow#gg

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.
youtube
youtube
(the live version of Careless is truly extraordinary imo...)
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#queen of the damned#lestat de lioncourt#honestly i can trace almost all of my musical tastes in a fairly linear progression from korn onwards lmao#that's the 90s for you - artists knew each other and influenced each other and supported one another#and did a lot of soundtracks for video games and films back when nu metal was really popular#i'm actually really pleased to find these available on youtube - back years ago when i listened to them they were near impossible to find#NOT ME REALIZING HE SAYS 'COME TO ME' IN THIS SONG JESSUSSSSSS#anyway yeah im getting real nostalgic bc sure everyone shits on qotd but it was such an artifact of its time. like. it's so 2001#in a way that you can't entirely begrudge. rockstar lestat being nu metal was perfect for that exact time and it's a time capsule in a way#i think the industrial sound works when done properly and sung by JD lmao#yes we're getting a very different sounding rockstar lestat in 2024 and that's perfect too. but these both exist simultaneously in my mind

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)
#i truly do wonder why we're always going the least interesting route interpretation-wise even when it directly contradicts canon#why have complex characters making complex points through off methods when we can have boring ones clearly labeled as good and evil#maybe if i wanted to talk about this i should have been alive in 2001 but like. we still talk about it today we just don't say anything fun#maybe. just maybe. there's a reason the panels go directly from jason letting go of mia and stepping back#to mia escaping and going “i escaped”#“unless ofc he let me go”#that is not jason making an attempt on her life (because this didn't happen we see him let go)#mia wasn't even his secondary goal he just took her to make a completely unrelated point and decided to have a convo while he was at it#jason having the capability to end it but letting mia go vs joker pretending to give jason an out and taking it away (locked door)#except in both jason ends up staying in the building#i know we don't like n52 rhato but the roy jason discussion in the Bruce-Ollie convo make me think they could have been done well#but that's not my point#i just feel like some of you guys are too quick to take an interesting comic and toss it out because one thing happens that you dont like#kinda throwing the baby out with the bathwater#i wish we saw more of mia dealing with the repercussions of their convo i want to know more of what she was thinking#green arrow 2001#jason todd#this isn't mainly about mia's character so i'm not gonna block her tag up with this

T’was the day before Christmas and I feel like dropping some wild Trainwrecks lore.
#perhaps when I get home from church#I’m going to do proper development diaries but a head start rough draft might help#because the characters in this series date back to 2001#life#text

The Person in witchblade circles way back when. I felt very cool by association (still do she's the best)#lmao editing my tags because I forgot my own edgy teenage username from the early 00s.
