The Quantum Nostalgia Exchange: A Business Idea Beyond the Bounds of Imagination

Come up with a crazy business idea. Step into the Quantum Nostalgia Exchange, where memories become art and emotions transcend time. What stories would you trade, and what dreams would you borrow? What if your memories weren’t just yours? What if your most cherished moments—those fragments of time that linger in the quiet corners of your soul—could be traded, shared, or even borrowed like rare…

I think its a rite of passage to make an au at least once, and ive been thinking super hard about how Sonic raised tails lately. So obviously an age swap au had to happen. Aka, the au in which they are both team turbo nerd and Tails needs a Vacation as a dire medical suggestion. (more rambling in tags)

A lot of older TMNT fans dislike the ROTTMNT designs for making the brothers barely look like turtles but actually I enjoy them looking mostly humanoid

They resemble the person they were mutated with a lot, they look like new species entirely and they went into drastically different direction with sharp, pointy dynamic lines, rather than huge round blobified shapes the other series were going for

Plus the designs and thought process behind each of them are amazing

Like, I could rant about Donnie's design quirks for ages

thinking about mouthwashing worldbuilding. what year is it. where were they going. have humans met aliens yet. What Year Is It. how advanced is their tech beyond the space freighters. literally why was so much mouthwash being shipped to another planet. seriously what year is it, the ship's interior design is giving mid-late 20th century and daisuke has a gameboy and also The Special Super Captain's Emergency Gun is literally just a normal revolver but also they are very much in space WHEN DOES THIS GAME TAKE PLACE

new sensation

[staycalmandhugaclone]

Still in the process of moving (well, more like trying to get everything settled in and establish a new normal), but I've saw this gorgeous artwork by the incredibly talented @cabbagege and had a moment of how Tech might struggle with the very fact of struggling with prosthetics after *denial is strong in me* surviving the season 2 fall and subsequent craziness to become CX2, and how he might try and fail to talk to Echo about it a couple times, but repeatedly ends up saying nothing because explaining emotions can be hard, but Echo knows and just waits until Tech finally finds the words. Something like

Tech: Functionally, there's very little difference between mechanical limbs and organic.

Echo: *doesn't respond yet, but stops what he's doing to ensure Tech knows he has his full attention.*

Tech: In fact, they are superior in several aspects: strength, durability; even offering additional possible features such as data storage or booster jets.

Echo: *lets out a slow, quiet breath of both relief and sorrow, but continues to wait as Tech maneuvers his emotions.*

Tech: Modern technology even allows the tactile sensation to feel nearly identical to that of natural nerves... but... *he hesitates*

Echo: That almost makes it worse. *He offers quietly.*

Tech: *pauses as he progresses this, staring almost blindly at his artifical hand*

Tech: It shouldn't...

Echo: Yeah... Well, reality doesn't really care about about what *should* and *shouldn't* matter.

Tech slumps slightly, as though Echo's words give an odd sort of permission to feel the depth of a grief he'd tried so hard to ignore, and that permission seemed to grant an odd weightlessness to it even as threatened to drag him to the hard floor. After a moment, he lets himself cave beneath it, sliding down heavily as he watched the mechanical limbs stretch out before him. Echo waits only a moment before quietly joining him, sitting close enough for their shoulders to nearly brush, but granting just enough space to allow Tech to initiate that contact only if he wanted it; only if he was ready.

They're silent for a while, eventually sharing hushed words about how profound those tiny differences in sensation can be; how unsettling that nearly perfect feeling was amidst the subtle reminders of *wrong* when those differences surface, and even tears begin to slip down Tech's face, those words only grow softer as Echo carefully wraps his arm around the taller man's shoulders.

Echo makes a point to comment on when those moments of oddness surface after that: trying to stretch a toe that no longer exists or scratch his thigh where there isn't skin to itch, and that offers an unspoken invitation for Tech to do the same. Over time, those moments turn from startling and unnerving, to muttered annoyances, to something of an inside joke between them, and when Crosshair slowly begins to join them, Tech feels a very different emotion towards his foreign body: gratitude. Because those limbs that weren't his until they had to be granted a means of understanding that he otherwise would never have known, and thus he was able to take the gentle support Echo gave him and extend it toward his other brother in a way that helped each of them heal just that much more.

Ok ok ok gonna give @cobaltbeam some major love for this commission request of my son and Tech. So much love and care went into this lovely piece and I had no doubt that Cobalt would just crush it 💯💯💯 Cobalt really sets the bar high to the toppest of tiers. Flawless execution and it the message around it means so much to us!

A little backstory under the cut:

My son is autistic and nonspeaking. My husband and I are fans of TBB and I was so ecstatic that there was quite a bit of neurodiversity represented in bad batch. My son has connected the most with a lot of Tech’s scenes (especially the flying lessons lol) and loves to watch that scene over and over again. Flash forward to a con where I met Dee Bradley Baker and requested that he sign a Tech figure box for my son and write some words of encouragement “you have an exceptional mind” based off when Tech calls his own mind exceptional I think in Season 1 or season 7 of TCW (I forget). Well he did it and then I asked Cobalt Beam to bring it to life.

Isn’t. That. Amazing????? 🥹😭
