Happy pride everyone.

Okay, I'll leave Lego Friends and Faybon off the pinned for now. Mainly because I really don't want to talk about my heartlake OC yet. But it's done. Go me!

[temporalbystander]

So just finished watching a play through of shadow generations, reminded me of an old OC idea, reworked him majorly to fit with new understanding of canon so... Here you go.

Dubbed the final project of Gun in a hidden lab the ultimate weapon Mark 5 was deemed unstable and left abandoned it wouldn't be until the far future that he was woken by the remnants of the desolated protectors of humanity.

Blaze and Silver hadn't expected to find a human asleep in stasis. Had they not journeyed to the past they never would have learned about Gun or the multiple labs and experiments the military organisation had conducted. Looking to see if there was anything that could help life rebuild they went through all the labs they could find before they found him.

After waking Bio Mark-U5, hereafter called Mark or Marcus, it became clear why he was deemed unstable. As part of Gun's attempts to recreate the ultimate weapon they mixed Shadow's DNA with that of a human and imbued it with the energy absorption powers of Chaos. In their attempts to maintain control they used the DNA of Maria Robotnik, thinking her illness would act as a failsafe to stop him from getting out of hand.

Instead, the constant generation of energy that allowed Shadow to make Chaos constructs without an emerald, fed the Chaos DNA and mutated the illness so that it no longer attacked the body but repaired it. This caused a feedback loop that created a fount of chaos energy equal to that of the master emerald but with no outlet it simply caused the Mark-U5 to burn itself from the inside out before reviving and starting the process all over again.

With Blaze and Silver's guidance Marcus was soon able to utilise chaos control and chaos spear, even learning how to manipulate it to mimic their powers of pyro and psychokinesis in a show of admiration.

Despite his rapid mastery over his power any moment of rest meant a painful build-up. Out of options they took Markus to meet their friends in hopes one of them might have an answer. Utilising a combination of Shadows inhibitor rings and the machine he built to make fake chaos emeralds Tails was able to create a vest that would continuously drain the excess energy and use it to recharge the fake emeralds should they ever be needed.

After this Marcus would become a frequent playmate of Cream and assistant of Tails. In times of trouble he would play a more supporting role, using chaos control and chaos teleport to get others out of harms way.

biggest challenge ever is writing out the personalities of characters that you've had for years and years and years. I know Skye and her personality intimately I just do not know how the hell I describe her.

Okay, time to get off Tumblr for today. Was scrolling through my "for you" page thinking it was the "following" tab. Somehow got back to following without realising I ever was on the "for you" and spent a few minutes thinking I was losing my mind.

Also Galahad nearly triggered my nerd rage with one of their reblogs so.... Yeah, nobody wants that.

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

Got bored and decided to wander around the castle last night, ended up stumbling across the third floor corridor where Fluffy was. So much smaller when you're not a tiny 11 year old. Still don't know why it's called a corridor though, there's literally nothing behind where he was.

[temporalbystander]

Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay

[temporalbystander]

"nobody to talk to" maybe bc you're a disgusting guy??

Awww thanks for taking the time to read my tags. That makes me feel so special.

[temporalbystander]

.....

[temporalbystander]

Woohoo! Made my first edit to the future pinned! Got four OC's on there. Haven't included Faybon since I don't want to learn how to link to a tag right now. But can't remember who the others I wanted to add were. I know there's one from the Friends girls on a mission but I can't think of who else I have fleshed out enough.

[temporalbystander]

Faybon rolls his eyes. "Fine, fine. But just this once. Pound it!" 👊

pound it! 👊

can we make this a thread please (mlb fandom let's do this i hope this doesn't fail it'll be embarrassing if it fails... (it's okay if it does))

[temporalbystander]

Okay here's the plan. I'm going to write this post. Then I'm going to edit this post. Then I'm going to eventually put all the important OC stuff I said I was going to do on this post. Then when that's all done I'll delete this stuff and just make it my pinned post.

Name- what they're from- bio

Felix- Kingdom Hearts - The earliest known Nobody, created by Xehanort unknowingly which then inspired organisation XIII. Strangely fond of Namine.

Alex- Winx - Childhood friend of Bloom's who was recruited by the specialists after they saw him fighting one of the monsters days before Stella and Bloom met. Left the academy after the reveal of Sky's lie.

Caleb- Harry Potter- Born into a family known to be protectors of great wizards Caleb would go against the goddesses of Time and Fate to ensure Harry had a happy life, binding his soul as the Elemental of darkness he relived life again and again trying desperately to give Harry his best chance.

Tamotsu Tsume- Naruto- Born with none of the chakra necessary to live his mother sought out the many tailed beast (who would later name herself Sakuya) who was losing the ability to hold her form. He would not meat Naruto until just before the great ninja war but soon became friends, as Naruto lay dying and the reborn madara seemed to have won, Sakuya and Kurama would combine their powers to send them back into their younger bodies.

Mark-U5 - Sonic the hedgehog (technically sonic 06 for timeline) - Discovered in the ruins of a Gun laboratory by Silver and Blaze and named Marcus he was made by combining the DNA of Shadow, Maria and Chaos. His production of chaos energy burns him from the inside if not expended. (Full story here.)

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

[temporalbystander]

Okay actually, something I need help with. Like therapy level help so real answers only please.

When you wish to comment on a piece of content (post, story, RP and so on) but that content has also caused an OC you have to also comment... What do you do?

Now part of my brain is of the opinion that "they didn't ask so I shouldn't even say anything" at which point I may just refrain from commenting because for some stupid reason I lack the self control to separate myself fully from an OC's opinion.

On the other hand I can't help but feel like, even if it seems "main character"-ish or approval/attention seeking, if it's an honest byproduct of saying something like "this was awesome no matter what my OC feels" then it should be okay... Right?

[temporalbystander]

Huh. Either I picked a bad time to post the chapter or all the people who have bookmarked it have not checked their emails. Oh well. It'll be a while before I get started on the next one with how bad I feel.

[temporalbystander]

Latest chapter is now up for all interested. Took me longer than I thought. Life got in the way.
