Decided to draw some Prime versions of my girl Erika, because for some reason, Man of Action had a hard time giving Amy a decent second female to join her in the main cast. Voice claim for all 3 of these gals (and base Prime!Erika) is Rebecca Shoichet BTW. In order we have…
New Yoke City!Erika (Named Yoru (Japanese for "night"))
In this timeline, when the Chaos Council took control, her sensei helped her escape, losing his own life in the process
Joined the resistance not long after meeting Renegade/New Yoke City!Knuckles
First proper assignment as a vigilante in this timeline was to decommission Rusty Rose
When she found Rusty, there was a sudden feeling that a lethal confrontation could carry heavy consequences (no, she didn't know about Birdie, for better or for worse)
The Council, after spying on the resistance while she was given her mission, found her as she was about to leave
Lost her arm as she attempted to escape the Council's attack (also how the sleeve of her kimono got ripped), felt as if she barely made it out alive
Nine/New Yoke City!Tails made her the prosthetic arm based on the resistance's reports of her skill
Her kimono has a shorter skirt for better mobility
Jungle!Erika (Named Matsu (Japanese for "pine"))
Had some faith in Thorn/Jungle!Amy when she snapped, believing that maybe the two parties could reconcile
Often keeps the peace between Mangey/Jungle!Tails, Gnarly/Jungle!Knuckles and Hangry/Jungle!Big (mainly since Prim/Jungle!Rouge never seems to bother)
Believes that she should be the leader of the tribe due to Prim/Jungle!Rouge's aforementioned lack of effort in caring for the boys
Basically took over as the team's heart when Thorn/Jungle!Amy banished them to the canopy
And Pirate!Erika (Named Shiokaze (Japanese for "seabreeze")
Basically holds the brain cell for the crew (yes, even Sails/Pirate!Tails)
Took to the pirate life the easiest when Green Hill (presumably) flooded
The least scared of Dread/Pirate!Knuckles' old crew
Out of the Shatterspaces, she remained the closest to her Amy equivalent (not counting the main timeline) due to nothing forcing them apart
(Also, the few things that they all have in common include weaponry skills, sass, and not liking their Rouge equivalent's attitude)

I want to write barbie x ken fanfiction set maybe a couple years after the movie (Barbie spoilers)
where ken decides to go to the Real World because he Can Do That now and meets barbie again whos been adjusting and living self-love and doing things and finding herself and It's this, like, tearful reunion moment and Ken's still in love with her but he's much better at keeping it to himself because ken always respects barbie's decisions, but barbie spends a few days with this ken who has over time also sort of become himself, and has discovered his interests and likes and dislikes and became, like, more rounded through experiences and discovers that she finds him utterly endearing and begins falling for him and just. Second chances pure friendship to lovers barbie x ken where they take some time off for themselves and meet each other as better people (dolls? idk u get the point).

Expanding on my previous post, here are all of Wenabocker's tapes (so far?)
(Burrow's End episode 8 spoilers)
First tape: I've actually never used one of these before. Hello, my name is Robert Wenabocker. I'm the lead engineer here at Warren Peace Memorial Nuclear Power Plant.
Hey, guys, give me five minutes. I just gotta log it.
The time is currently 18:48, and at approximately, um [rustling of paper], 5:17 today, this facility registered a loss of coolant accident in reactor Charlie. Er, at 11:20, all plant personnel were notified via intercom, and, of cou-
Second tape: [an alarm sound can be heard at regular intervals throughout] Hello, this is Dr. Wenabocker. It is 4/21/62 at 8:11.
The LOC logged on the 18th has proven difficult. Our structural engineers have noted significant integrity loss surrounding reactor Charlie. Now, this integrity loss may result in repeated incidents of increased severity if left untreated.
We are not doing that. We are handling things now with the repair materials on hand, and we should have this remedied within the we-
Third tape: [Alarm blaring in regular intervals throughout, Wenabocker sounding increasingly agitated] I don't care, I want two teams down there right now! Following on the official urgent materials request submitted all signs, [emphatically] all signs, are pointing to sabotage. This is a matter of national security!
If we can't fix this w-
Fourth tape: [Wenabocker sounds dejected and tired] It is 2:22, two hours post order of a full evacuation of Peace Plant by Director Simms.
[Beat]
I stayed behind, since I'd already been um…
[Beat]
I stayed in hopes we'd get a call from the outside with some idea on how to avoid a full core meltdown. [Small chuckle of disbelief] But the cables on our comms are destroyed [in a tone like 'yeah, I don't believe it either'].
Chewed through.
[Tone turns sarcastic] You know, earlier this week, my team joked that evil spirits were behind all of this. [With underlying laughter] As a man of science, you know, I- [curious] hello?
[Creatures chittering]
The facility has been evacuated. You need to-
Fifth tape: [Creatures chittering in the distance throughout, Wenabocker hyperventilating throughout, his voice is panicked] There. Are. Five. Weasels. I don't know how they're doing it.
[Indistinct because of Wenabocker's frantic breathing] I'm trapped here.
I don't know what's happening.
[Glass breaking, creatures chittering now very close by]
No! No! [Sounds of a struggle, flesh tearing, Wenabocker wheezing, then sounds of Wenabocker gasping for air a few times, quite probably through a torn out throat, chittering creatures leave]
[Increasingly weak] They're… all… so… sneaky…
[Tape clicks off with disturbing finality]

You know when it comes to movies and shows and other forms of entertainment, sometimes I think it’s okay to just be like, “women and men are equals, women can do anything they set their minds to, men are allowed to do things like play with dolls and cry.” Like I think sometimes it’s okay to just stick with the simplified girl power version of feminism. Not everything has to talk about patriarchy and systems of oppression. Sometimes I just want to feel good and empowered without being reminded that we live in a patriarchal nightmare hellscape.
And I feel the same way about other issues too tbh like we don’t need to have a whole gender studies class in the middle of this comedy movie, you can just say trans rights. You can just say love is love. You can just say all races and cultures are equal and none are superior to any others. You can just say hey don’t be an asshole. We don’t have to always get into the theory of it all.

I’m blaming my Cowboy discussions with @yeehaw-djarin @skeletoncowboys and okay…I know we’re all suckers for cowboy Din but I guess growing up in Texas I can’t help but think of modern cowboy Din??
like you met him in an accidental fender bender leaving the grocery store when you bump into his certified silver piece of shit car that still uses a cassette player and of course it doesn’t get a scratch on it you got the brunt of the accident
You see he has a baby boy in the car and you’re mortified, about to just brush it off when he decides to pay for all the damages, gives you his name and number and even offers to take your car to a specialist mechanic he knows
He’s gorgeous and you can’t deny that! It’s why even hours later when you get home you still can’t get over how handsome he looked in the plaid shirt and cowboy boots he was wearing, so when your best friends decide to play detective in the group chat after you told them what happened your world gets turned upside down when you see the photos of him in full blown cowboy attire
that’s when you learn he’s a very famous and very well known professional bull rider
