Bot Buddy the single parent with Optimus Primal, Rattrap, and Silverbolt

SFW, Platonic, Familial, Cybertronian reader

Buddy needed a break. They had been running on fumes for the past couple of days. From the stress of the Predacons to their regular duties as a parent and teammate, everything was becoming too much. And if they didn’t do it soon their team was going to have an intervention. They didn’t want to go through that one again like last time.

But the world doesn’t stop when one is a single parent. Luckily, they had help.

Optimus Primal

The second-best babysitter on this list.

He has a calming effect on the sparkling so they don’t cause too much trouble.

Primal while he is the leader of the Maximals, he also wants to help the others when they need it.

He is glad that Buddy has finally decided to take a break, he is more than welcome to take care of the sparkling.

“Are you sure that this isn’t a problem? I could always ask Silverbolt.”--Buddy

“Yes, ask Silverbolt!”--Silverbolt

“No, you’re on patrol duty today with Blackarachnia—”--Optimus

“Never mind, patrol duty it is!”--Silverbolt

“Anyways, thank you Primal. I’ll see you in a little bit.”--Buddy

“Take your time Buddy, we are here to help.”—Optimus

If the sparkling is restless, there is a good chance that Primal will bring them on a small trip outside the base in his jetpack. That always gets the kid giggle and tuckered out.

As the sparkling gets tired Primal will hold them close to his chassis as he continues doing his work. More than likely the sparkling falls asleep with a death grip on the leader’s arm.

Primal refuses to move the little one so he finishes the rest of his work with one arm.

When Buddy comes back to take the sparkling Primal tells them that they weren’t trouble and to remember that if Buddy does need to take another break, he and some of the others are more than willing to help Buddy out.

“Thank you again Primal. I hope they weren’t that much trouble.”--Buddy

“Not at all, and remember don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it, okay?”--Optimus

“Noted Primal and thanks.”—Buddy

Rattrap

He is the last on the list. Not that he is the worst though, he is a good babysitter. One of the best on the team, he just falls short on this list.

The only reason he volunteered to babysit was to make sure Buddy was rested enough so he didn’t have to go on patrol with Dinobot again.

That’s the story he tells everyone at least.

He is glad Buddy understands their limitations and is willing to help his pal.

“Now while I like the Tike and all, why me? Why not ol’ lovesick puppy over there?”--Rattrap

“Yes—”--Silverbolt

“Silverbolt you are recovering from that ambush from yesterday. There is no way I’m letting the little one potentially undo your progress.”--Buddy

“But—”--Silverbolt

“No ‘but’s’ Lover boy. Now give me the kid.”--Rattrap

Now Rattrap knows that smaller bots can cause a ton of trouble. He has caused the Predacons tons of helmaches from his antics. So, he is preparing for the sparklings arrival. The sparkling keeps him on his toes the entire time he is playing with them.

When the sparkling gets tired Rattrap, after he makes sure no one is watching, rocks the sparkling back and forth until they fall asleep.

Rattrap takes this time to catch some z’s himself.

Does the sparkling escape his grasp while he is taking a nap? Yes, yes, they do.

But he made sure that his room was sparkling proofed and had a silent alarm that would alert him of the sparklings movements. He is up and ready to catch the little one.

When Buddy comes back to get the sparkling, Rattrap has most of the sparklings this ready. He keeps some of the stuff in case he has to babysit again. He makes sure to tell Buddy to let the little tike take a nap before babysitting duties again.

“The kids gonna be a natural escape artist when they get older.”--Rattrap

“Part of me hopes not.”--Buddy

“Yeah… but I do have the placed decked with cameras if that gives ya something to think or something...”--Rattrap

“Thanks Rattrap. I mean it.”--Buddy

“Yeah, yeah, don’t get soft on me. You owe me some patrols to make up for the one’s with Scalebelly.”--Rattrap

“Sure thing.”--Buddy

“I am right here!?”--Dinobot

Silverbolt

He is number one on this list.

He is ready for the sparkling.

Silverbolt almost takes the sparkling from Buddy’s servos when they ask him for help.

“Hey Silverbolt, do you mind looking after—”--Buddy

“FINALLY—I mean of course!”--Silverbolt

Silverbolt has everything ready for the sparkling.

They want to play a game? He knows the sparklings top 3 games they like to play.

They want to get out of the base for a bit? He already knows the perfect places to fly around.

They want a story? How about the time he met Blackarachnia for the first time, that one always puts the to sleep.

When the sparkling does start falling asleep, he has his room with soft blankets and pillows for the sparkling to take their nap while he watches them vigilantly. That sparkling is not leaving that room without him knowing.

When Buddy comes back to take the sparkling, Silverbolt is laughing with the sparkling who is in a mini carrier strapped on his chassis. For the sake of both, Buddy takes a longer break.

“Hey I’m back—”--Buddy

Silverbolt and the sparkling laughing and just having a great time before noticing Buddy in the room.

“…I don’t want to spoil the fun, but if you want to have them for a bit longer—”--Buddy

“YES—I mean if you don’t mind.”--Silverbolt

“Not at all. I think I could go for a longer break.”--Buddy

[Gentleness and Ease]

shuri udaku x fem!reader x riri williams

[tags] fluff, slight angst

[description] Shuri becomes quite immersed in her own grief she begins to lock herself away in the lab. Sometimes she just needs a little reassurance that her two lovers are there to help too.

[warnings] bp2 spoilers (watch the movie darn it), a few cuss words here and there, references to death, I didn’t specify race but I mostly write with bw in mind sooo

[word count] 720+

FEELING THE BED dip under the new found pressure, your eyes peeled open with a looming tiredness. With the arms that had been wrapped around your waist since you had fallen asleep earlier, it could only be one other person. As a confused groan was the only thing you could muster up, the conformation behind your thoughts soon came.

“Don’t worry it’s just me, my love,” one of your two lovers called out. Shuri’s voice was hushed and calm — in hopes of not waking Riri as well. The numbers on the clock that rested on the nightstand blared 2:24am across the digital screen.

“Really, Shuri,” you groaned as the smell of her shower gel infiltrated the air around you as she got into bed, “it’s two in the morning. You just got out of the lab?”

“Shhh, sthandwa you’ll wake Riri too—”

“Too late,” Riri piped in as she trailed her hand down to your hip, her thumb moving in a slight caressing motion.

“Now you both are going to gang up on me?” Shuri chuckled but it soon lowered into an agonizing quietness as she realized you and Riri hadn’t found the situation humorous. “What? You two are truly angry?”

“Damn, she’s like an evil genius in the lab but doesn’t know when her girlfriends are angry,” Riri responded, “now ain’t that some shit?”

With a soft off guard giggle, you agreed with Riri. Pulling Shuri closer to you both you wrapped her in your arms while Riri reached as far as she could to do the same. You felt somewhat squished in the middle but you knew there was no place you’d rather be. In fact you had been waiting for this moment all day it seems.

“We just miss you, that’s all,” you finally admitted, “you’re always in the lab these days.”

After the recent death of her mother and brother, and the fight with Namor, Shuri had been held up in the lab. Working her days, and sometimes nights, away. Sure, Riri was there too from time to time and you were able to visit whenever you liked — it just wasn’t as fun as having her home. Date nights had been scarce for the past few weeks and you could not remember the last time you three had all relaxed and enjoyed a full day together.

“I’ll do better my loves, I promise,” Shuri sighed, it was filled with depth as if she had exhausted herself. “It’s just been hard…”

“We understand, but as your partners we’re supposed to help you as well,” Riri quipped.

“Riri’s right, being cooped up in the lab all day is just a temporary distraction. Let us help you, Shuri.”

The silence was heavy on the dimly lit room, the gentle hum of agreement was all that could be heard from Shuri. She was never one to push her emotions off onto the ones she loved but she had failed to realize she wouldn’t be doing that. You two wanted her to feel comfortable with confiding in them, trusting them with whatever baggage she held within.

“I haven’t been the best two you both recently. For that ndiyaxolisa,” I’m sorry, Shuri spoke lowly. “When I say I’ll do better, I mean it. You both deserve nothing but the best.”

No words were needed as the apology swirled in the air. Whenever she made a promise she was sure to stand on it. Freeing one of your hands from Shuri’s waist, you softly caressed her face — inching closer to her as your noses touched. With her eyes half closed, she waited for your next move which came close behind.

Your lips met hers with such gentleness. Something she had been needing, gentleness and ease. Something she had rarely received as both the queen and black panther.

Pulling away from the kiss, Shuri felt yet another hand on her face. Yet this one slightly gripped at her jaw. Riri turned her head to repeat the same actions you had just taken. Not a word spoken for the time being.

“Now get some rest,” Riri spoke softly before adding on her usual jokes, “both of you. Because between you waking me up and (Y/N) tossing and turning earlier, I don’t know whose ass to shove my foot up first.”

“Oh really,” Shuri questioned, eyebrow raised in a daring way. Leaving you to let out a soft laugh between the two of them.

Even through the hardships, and pushing each other away — you three always found your way back to each other. You could only hope that it always remains that way.

[author’s note] a lil something cute and short. I literally cannot get shuriri out of my head. I’ll definitely be writing more about them in the future.

Hi hello 👋 !!!

Just wonder….

Why did Nawi almost killed sindeer when she was a baby? and why does she hate her for exactly?and why did she got pissed when sindeer said that she is dating a woman ????what got her like that????(i’m sorry for this so many questions and I just got sooo interested in sindeer mom /bw ! Nawi looks like she got blood pressure)

Oh how I wonder….

Inshallah You have a good day🤗

No problem, because so am I!!

ACTUALLY, I'll explain ALL of the lore, but the reason why Nawi used to hate Sindeer to the point of almost killing her is because Sindeer was a product of incest.

Obviously, I was very hesitant to talk about this for a WHILE (over a month) due to the subject, but this is kinda the perfect time to. Not portrayed as sexual in any way, but TW/CW for the aforementioned incest and descriptions of gore below.

Nawi's family had left the village they were in to celebrate a marriage, only to come back and see that literally nothing was left - Their home was ambushed and pillaged by a fringe group of nomadic Debu and by the miracle of not being there they missed getting completely slaughtered. [this was the "genetic bottleneck" in the alt text that i was being purposefully vague about. It was way too early in my homo mousike ramblings to be dropping this]. So, Nawi's extended family wandered together with no home to call to, on dry savanna and no cliffsides that they were used to settling on, and many of them were dying out from the exertion and the dehydration - Even if they are in their stone age, they had settled down, and suddenly adopting nomadism is as hard for them as it would be for us, especially when you have no damn clue where you're going.

They decided to marry the younger ones off to eachother in order to have a chance of a legacy, and Nawi was paired with her brother, Okwi. It was traumatic, and over the course of a pregnancy + incubation that she already didn't want, she's noticing a lot of... really weird changes within the group. They had these two beliefs of "Everything bad happened because we took our eyes off of our home", and "The outside world is evil and cannot be trusted", both very volatile, and slowly turning them into a non-religious cult with an hierarchy and entourage of men (Okwi included, being the highest ranked) who were practically worshipped because they were bringing about the new generation and founded this new, less naive way of life, unlike how they were living before.

Nawi's watching this all, obviously weirded out. "Hey guys. Why are we worshipping this way of life. This was awful. There is no honor in what we had to do. This isn't a secret society, we just have no-one else." When Sindeer was born, Nawi could not have been any less disinterested with her, with the way Sindeer was kind of the embodiment of all this and how she was been the first generation to be born under this, and was completely neglectful of her.

The final straw for Nawi was when the rest of the group is planning Sindeer's marriage before she's even able to climb off of her back, paired with Okwi as an honor for being The First and in a misplaced rage, she almost killed Sindeer one night over it, trying to justify it as saving her from her fate.

Nawi failed, mostly because she didn't have the heart to decapitate a baby, but partially because she realized that Sindeer was the only one of her kids that survived, and if SHE died, then Nawi might be expected to make more. The latter realization was what mobilized her to leave the weird cult her family had become, not just for her, but for Sindeer too. She tries to pull a "I'm going to go out for milk" (water, in her case) on her entire family, but it was late and they made her husband go with her. Awful choice!

Nawi proceeded to crack his skull open and rummage around in the cranial space to turn his brain into soup, hoping that doing so would rob him of an afterlife. Following this, she booked it out of there with baby Sindeer on her back for them to discover the corpse of the highest ranking man in the morning.

Sindeer knows about absolutely none of this.

...On a MUCH lighter note though: Nawi was mad about Sindeer telling her that she dated women because she was TRULY UPSET that she didn't think of dating women first.

If Okwi wasn't indicative enough, Nawi's love life is abysmal and even after him, she seemed to be a magnet for truly rancid men. What's funny is that Nawi actually does start dating women after this, even though she's straight, and she's having a much better time. She completely swore off men, and talks about them like a vice that she's quit cold turkey on.

i’ve been bullied by a non-rp friend into checking out more object head stuff but the only way I’m doing that here is if it’s in an animatronic AU so. thats what I’m going to do !

his name is finally phone guy in this 💞 about time! /lh

he’s basically an information center but ✨interactive✨ and ✨fun✨! his design is meant both to be kid-friendly and to show adults that he’s geared for them too

especially in stuff set early on (like fnaf 2 etc) I imagine he only has a set range of pre-recorded responses

you have to actually dial them up ( “If you’re wondering how to book a party, please press ‘1’! If you want to file a missing person’s report, please press ‘2’.” type stuff )

he has a gimmick where he’ll start ringing sometimes when he’s around kids, and if they answer they have a random chance of getting either a “fazbear fun fact” or winning faztokens. he & candy cadet make quite the team /lh

in security breach, he’s much more dynamic & “lifelike,” capable of fielding a range of questions & coming up with unique dialogue for different interactions.

but watch out! any suspicious inquiries WILL be flagged and sent along to management ☺️

to separate this from my ghost aus I think he’s typically NOT going to be haunted. just a robot! :]

bc of this, he’s usually pretty nonhostile. he also talks a LOT though, so be mindful of noise levels if he’s hanging out with you during a night shift (ucn style)

the only times he might be more hostile are if he’s been reprogrammed or potentially virused up. even then, considering that he has a pretty slight frame with a big clunky head, he’s among the least dangerous of any of the animatronics.

I think in terms of personality, he tends to be very cheery and eager to help :)

finally, just bc i think it'd be an interesting difference bw him & normal steven, i think he might know exactly what happened to the kids (but not understand it). in early games, he can't conceptualize death, and anything he knows in SB would be restricted info that he knows but cant really communicate.

#wrote this up last night when i couldnt sleep but i wanted to do at least one #reply before i posted ANOTHER v.erse lmfao #v; their mechanical family

I do like XY #xy10thanniversary

Saw it was the 10th anniversary today (or yesterday by the time I posted this) and saw people decided to talk nicely about it so figured I should as well lol

I do genuinely like the series despite the discourse online about it being one of the most annoying things to me

XY I think unlike a majority of the series as I think about it had one of the strongest openings in the anime, as the whole Lumiose City-Garchomp-Froakie stuff was genuinely captivating and I feel that you will always have people hooked on XY just because of that as it’s to me on par with the first episode of the whole series with Ash and Pikachu which is also generally seen as one of the best episodes

And on a similar note, as I have issues with the team flare finale it also has one of the stronger ends to a series as well

So you have a series with a strong opening and, relatively strong ending, then you sprinkle in other generally accepted great moments in between like Ash vs Clemont it’s no surprise people love this series

And I think that’s the success of the XY, when it hits those highs it’s some of the best the anime ever has given us

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Other thoughts

I think of the six formulaic series (OS-XY) I think I like XY’s pacing the best, and that’s part of the reduced number of episodes compared to earlier series but also didn’t have the random side island adventure like BW, for the most part, the gap between gym badges and princess keys were not bad at all and I think we did spend a decent amount of time with characters that would end up recurring such as the rivals, the family members, mentors, etc

I already made a post about it but I think Clemont is my favorite male companion of Ash’s as I think he fills that sweet spot of being a smarter intelligent member of the group to explain things not only for the audience but the rest of the group but he’s also not so smart that Ash Serena and Bonnie can’t give their intelligence about subjects, and also the balance of since Clemont is close in age to Ash we get to see a Psuedo brotherly bond, rivalry and friendship between them where other companions lack at least one of those aspects, and I think he’s also a nice balance between each two members as he’s not as fit and adventurous as Serena which plays off of Ash and Bonnie, but he’s also more battle-ready like Ash contrasting Serena and Bonnie, yet has the sibling dynamic with Bonnie that Ash and Serena don’t relate to

Serena is this weird mix of I definitely see why people like her and she’s not my fav girl companion but I’m not going to say that her story wasn’t handled well at all, as any non super positive feelings about her is my personal feelings and nothing with her, I think tiring her and Ash together via camp was a That brilliant move without it being too soul-cross lovers, the crush added a unique aspect to the show that hasn’t really been touched on since maybe OS, I enjoyed each of her three Pokémon, and the sister's bond with Bonnie was adorable as we never really got something like that excluding maybe the SM girls

Bonnie grew on me a lot, when I was first watching it it’s hard to relate to the kid character but over time I appreciate the nice story work they did for her while also not shoving her to the front until kinda the Team Flare finale stuff, I think while I did like Max Bonnie was able to be a lot more likable as a character and it’s interesting because I think in a lot of ways she’s like the little girl Ash

Ash is the controversial one I noticed and while I see where both sides are coming from I am neutral on this Ash but he’s not the boring Ash but he’s also not the badass Ash I think he’s the Ash that was finally able to relax, early on we see that fire in him to get stronger and go things head first and through XY we see him slow down and be more at peace with what’s going on around him which is why I think people say he’s the most mature Ash, which he’s definitely more mature than OS Ash for sure but I think the maturity gets confused with lack of childishness, Ash while having his moments wasn’t as goofy here which I think is what I missed here as I think a “core” part of Ash is his fun side which was nonexistent was less here it felt like which obviously has the pros of viewers getting what seems to be a more grown-up Ash also I think loses a crucial part of him

Side characters

While not my favorite batch of side characters I think to say they were bad would be a disservice as they all played their role well, I think the standouts are Tierno Shauna and Korinna

Battles

I know there’s discourse about the animation and art style and just general battle decisions but I do think that the battles looked great and I think visually wise they peaked gym battle-wise here, each battle felt like each person had some experience to them as even the more rookie trainers were using moves that you never see from a previous series early on or even later in that journey

As I can (I’m not) be in the camp that thinks Pikachu losing to Surskit was stupid but I think the battle did show that Surskit was a problem and to be taken seriously despite it being a Surskit

Pokémon

Despite some personal feelings, I do think this was maybe the most solid cast of Pokémon (as in Ash and companions) only behind a few like maybe an OS and SM

I think despite some losses that you can argue about this is one of the most consistent Pikachu’s as no electric “reset”, I think Ash’s other five had distinct personalities and traits, same with Serena’s and Clemont's and Dedenne

And should point out that you can’t convince me Ash-Greninja isn’t the most fanfiction thing the show has done, but it is admittedly very cool, I even used one for my Pokémon Moon play-through as I just thought it would be cool to use

Mega Evolution Specials

I never got the same attachment to these specials as I watched them much later but they were very good specials and I’m glad they did the thing of making them in the same universe and tiring them into Ash and the gang's storylines

As I’m not an Alain fan I do like him as a second protagonist and of the few that probably think that him being the one to beat Ash in the league was acceptable (more thoughts on that in a separate post maybe lol)

Marron and Chespy were cute, Steven was cool, Team Flare was a big upgrade over their game counterparts, etc

Overall not my favorite series definitely one of the series where I can just put a gym battle on or see certain things over without it feeling dated

One thing I’ve learned from watching shows and interacting with people is that misery LOVES company. I’m really liking Arcane so I’ve decided to completely opt out of the fandom.

I will say that unlike with Titans a lot of CW fans had valid reasons to be pissed off 80% of the time. They didn’t nitpick things like someone’s earrings being too big or whatever… the writers were trying it. And all of the recent CW series finales felt like the writers were trying to spite the fans. Legit killing fan faves in random ass ways for no reason.

But yeah I’m not planning on trying to explain why a bw getting a happy ending is a good thing ever again in my life. Those fans clearly hated Kory and wanted her to be as miserable as they are. I will however defend Mel if people want to be clowns during season 2.

Denial is a river in Egypt and that's where I am after watching BW 12, this can't be the finale there has to be another episode coming up right?? right??? I can't believe GB would do this to us

(well I can but I can't accept it. He cannot take my mans this is unallowed behavior ;-;)

I’m not in Denial’s waters just yet but I am camped out on the river’s banks. Close enough that one good shove will send me in

I’m hoping there’s more but I’m really bracing for an epilogue that simply shows nothing but the aftermath and no hope for our man

We will stand strong together!

your ask box is probably full so sorry but i have a idea for the better worl au. that "you can't do it" scene from the orignal with bwsupes and flash with bwjaime and bart but its the oppisent. as in bart dosen't anything about bw jaime not being able to do it, because he knows how far jaime can actually go, but to everyone even bw jaimes supriesd, bw jaime really can't do it.

Oooh I really like that idea! I’m totally picturing Bart being very unfazed by BW!Jaimes actions - even when he’s about to be killed by him. unlike flash in JL:a, Bart doesn’t flinch as jaime takes his aim - he will not run - and that’s what finally snaps BW!Jaime back into the reality of the situation - the sight of his previously lost friend with such darkness in his eyes, prepared to face his end at the hands of the friend he sacrificed everything to protect… Jaime hesitates and his mind returns to moments of s2 …. remembering exactly what Bart did for him and realising just how much he’s failed him… all he can say is - “I can't do it…”

But then the question arises - just because BW!Jaime remembers his conscience and won't kill Bart - can the same still be said for BW!scarab after everything he's been allowed to do in this ‘better’ world?

Scarab has always had a natural affinity for violence and destruction - not necessarily for any kind of sadistic desire, but because by his internal logic the methods he suggests would provide the most efficient outcome overall (or at least that’s my interpretation of things). He doesn't really consider things like the consequences of such decisions if actually executed - which is where Jaime comes in… it’s with his wider perspective Jaime is able to acknowledge the major repercussions such actions would bring and his self-control that keeps scarab in line - ensuring the blue beetle remains a force for good… but if Jaime loses that control and gives into scarabs ways of thinking because of his own emotional turmoil, he then validates scarabs violent logic and essentially corrupts his programming all over again. So while it’s plausible for Jaime - an emotionally minded human - to be swayed back towards seeing the light with the right motivation - for scarab, artificially intelligent technology, I don’t think it would be as easy or maybe even possible without a full on mystic cleanse. It may well be too much damage has been done in the name of grief and rage to ever be returned from… and let’s not forget, if scarab wants to do something, he is fully able to take control for himself and do it - just because Jaime can’t kill Bart does not mean scarab won’t to ensure Jaime remains the force he has chosen to be…

So when Jaime says - “I can’t do it” - the trouble does not end there… inside his head he hears the voice of scarab - “Do not worry Jaime Reyes, you do not have to”… and with that, scarab continues priming the cannon aimed at Bart. “Wait, SCARAB NO!” Jaime shouts, as the blast he has no control over is about to fire… he's trapped, about to watch his friend die all over again… and once again, it’s all his fault…

Until a great force of searing gold blinds his view…

(Thanks for the message Anon!)

Hii, Xerophi here, and I sculpt things for fun. I don’t post much in general, but I’m flattered some of you want to follow me and I’m super blown away that people thought it looked official?! I’m into clay these days, so if you don’t mind seeing some clay art floating around every now and then, welcome aboard!

This is a making-of post, and I’m mostly putting this out there to encourage people to try their own hand at making figurines! It’s also not really a tutorial, though if anyone’s curious I gratuitously watched some Youtube videos that cover most of the way a figurine gets sculpted and put together.

Tl;dr!

Materials:

Super Sculpey Firm (Gray) (about 95% of the project) + Premier Air Dry Clay for patch jobs (when I deemed the polymer would suffer brittleness from further baking)

Tamiya Polyester Putty for patching over cracks, imperfections on the surface

Armature wire- Gotta have a skeleton!

Various Tamiya Acrylic paints

A block of wood to mount figurine to (lol)

Tools:

Pretty typical clay sculpting tools

Airbrush

Paintbrush

Sandpaper

Long post ahead!

To be honest I’ve always been really interested in how anime figurine garage kits (unofficial, unassembled, unpainted figurines) are produced, but unfortunately, most of the details are in Japanese, so I settled for following a bunch of makers on Twitter and did my best to piece together steps from their postings. Unfortunately I’m not skilled enough yet to go the full way of making molds and resin casts for a piece like this but I think I can say I’ve finally leveled up with sculpting figurines in general with this project! I learned a lot along the way.

I started with his face. And it was not good. The hat too. Proportions were a bit difficult to maintain when I approached it from such a piece-wise method, so I tossed them both and just... completely redid them the next day using the body as reference.

I pondered a lot about what expression I wanted him to have. Since Legends Arceus gave us the brilliant gem of seeing him smile after battle, I thought it was a largely bittersweet thing to be able to witness. I wanted to preserve the intensity of his expression, but also allow the joy of battle to shine through. So... at certain angles, he does appear to have a bit of a smile!

A rough addition of muscles to the armature. Clay works remarkably like skin and muscle too, stretching and flexing as I pose him. This let me envision the way his tunic would flow over the torso. Made it look a biiiit tight on him…;) Once the tunic was done, used some 91% alcohol to smooth surface imperfections over the clay, then I tossed it sans arms into the oven. Wasn’t sure how I wanted the arms yet. Legs were easier, Ingo’s pants are a little looser at the bottom now than they were in BW.

Grew a brain and remembered I had perfectly good reference material to size and proportion against and wouldn’t it be cool if my figurine matched the same scale as the Best Wishes Partners series?

Dunno what BW Ingo thinks of his raggedy counterpart though. Prolly nothing good?!?!

Got some sculpting mesh wire and cut and formed it in approximation of how I wanted the coat to be shaped, temporarily stuck it to the body, and then carved the rips and tears in before baking. Removed the mesh after its job was done, you can see the diamond grid pattern it left at the bottom of the coat. No worries, there’s magic for that later.

Top of the coat is sculpted directly over the tunic, and the collar is done in a similar fashion to the coat, clay over mesh wire, mesh removed, then the piece is glued on.

He gained a small metal peg at the back to help temporarily hold up the bottom half of the coat along with some helper tape.

The coat was the main reason why I decided I wasn’t experienced enough yet to attempt making a mold and resin cast. I have no idea how I’d even cast such a thin piece to begin with.

Hands! I took a small piece of clay, flattened it into a square for a palm, and sculpted the fingers individually with a piece of metal in each to stick to the palm with. Damn the Best Wishes figurines for the gloves- meanwhile I’m here trying to get knuckles, bones, and nails to show up because they went hard on his hands in his design so I decide to as well. I also finally settled on paying homage to his iconic over the shoulder pose, finally baking the arms into place.

The first iteration of the Sneaseler warden bracelet got added. It turned out far too thick to fit in his sleeve with the hand attached, so I wound up having to make a second one (pictured) to replace it. The base of a Hisuian Pokeball got added and later touched up to stupid levels of detail. (You can’t even see most of the damn bracelet in his sleeve >:( why did I work so hard)

I struggled with getting the coat to meet smoothly across the seam, but turned out I didn’t need to. Tamiya putty turned out to be an insanely good filler and masker, I could have done fine after gluing the pieces together but I only realized this at the end. Of course if I were making a proper garage kit, it’d be bad form for me to send people something they’d have to work so hard to attach properly.

At this point I didn’t want to bake the polymer any more, too much baking and it gets brittle, and I was already working at a tiny scale and with really thin pieces, so I brought in air dry clay (Premier brand), which is reasonably capable of sticking to polymer with a little water, and sands very smoothly later, to help fill in too large gaps.

Lowest point of the project visually- I’ve never used Tamiya putty (the yellow stuff) to this extent, but I’ve seen some Japanese artists literally slather their whole project in it before seemingly sanding or carving it back down to detail. I have no idea how they manage that except what must be a shit ton of patience, but I tentatively went with the leap of faith, using it wherever I felt imperfections. The underside of the coat, marred by the mesh, got filled in at this point.

Tamiya polyester putty is a two part putty that cures in roughly an hour and is sandable to nearly a polish. It cures to a hard surface that is easy to carve and incredibly easy to sand, hence why it gets used to fill in imperfections and cracks. It works its way into these places very nicely too, as it basically starts in a cream form.

I sanded everything until it got smooth and flat again, then airbrush sprayed over it with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 gray. This primer has the nice additional feature of settling into small areas of imperfections and smoothing them over as it dries. Places where imperfections show up were continuously patched with the Tamiya putty, sanded, and primed over until I was satisfied.

Still wasn’t happy with the length of the legs or the tilt of the head since I messed up the neck by making the wire connection too tiny to rely on, so his head kept wobbling or turning (or fALlING-). Fortunately nothing’s glued, not even the legs, so I can adjust his height and add/subtract clay to my liking until the pose is good.

Drew in guidelines to the pattern on his coat. Added the buttons, realized he had too much of his coat still to warrant subtracting the lost button, so I shrugged my shoulders and rolled with it.

Using painter’s tape, I masked anywhere I didn’t want to spray, then airbrushed in the black, then brown. The primer turns out to be the perfect shade of gray for his palette, so I just masked over it to keep it in the places I want. Skin got a bit of realism added to it by shading it in lightly with dust ground from a pastel, then sprayed over with finisher to seal it in.

Printed out the Pearl Clan symbol, cut it out with an xacto knife, and glued it on. My printer sucks, so I darkened it with some paint. It helps at this point the paper juts up just a bit so I could carefully paint over it without touching the tunic below. Added some finisher spray over it to make sure it sticks.

Nuked the left leg last second, and replaced it with a longer version, because I was unable to stand (haha) the poor positioning of the original.

Aaaand he’s done!

One of the most important lessons I learned during this was not to over do it. If I started struggling, started making more mistakes than usual, I just straight up stopped then and there. I wanted to make a piece I could be proud of and forcing myself when I was clearly done mentally wouldn’t be good for me or the end result.

I’m happy to answer any questions or talk about figurines and sculpting! I’m entirely a hobbyist but I felt like it was difficult finding good information on how to sculpt anime figurines in general so if anyone’s curious about this stuff, I’d love to bounce some thoughts on the topic.

Iiiin the meanwhile I want to work on a Sygna Suit idea for Ingo and Chandelure next! Maybe finally give Emmet some love too after xD, Now that we have the butler bros I feel like we’re not gonna see anything else for them for a while longer =A=

sub wanda and dom nat with service sub r is wrecking my brain just like.. sucking on wandas clit for hours and hours making her overwhelmed and overstimulated. maybe it’s like a punishment from nat, so it starts with edging wanda and her begging being like “come on baby, don’t you wanna make me cum? you look so beautiful, please, please let me cum” and nat to wanda like, “quit it, you know i don’t like it when you whine.” and to you being extra soft cooing at you like “my best girl, my favourite girl, isn’t it so fun making princess (wanda) all drippy and desperate? all denied and laid out for you? you just wanna be my good obedient baby, don’t you?” and wanda to you being like “no don’t listen to her, i’ll do anything, please, i’ll make you feel so good, please just let me cum.” just them both pulling you in different directions but you wanna be good for both of them. and you finally start overstimming wanda, she’s all like “baby baby i can’t take it it’s too much” and nat grabs her throat and “you wanted this, princess. so lie down and fucking take it.” throws wanda back down and “ungrateful little brat, aren’t you gonna thank our good little bunny for treating you so well?” “yes! thank you bunny thank you bunny!” like nat is a soft dom to you but a hard dom to wanda and it just fhskhrldjshd also also nat to wanda like “come on, you can take one more. that’s it, ride it out, princess. if you’re good, i’ll let you watch me reward our bunny for being so so good to you”

First of the Left Behind /filler BW chapter Set: between the end of ch 13 and beginning of ch 15 Rating: T Word count: 2k PoV: Armin Tags: Fluff

Technically, it hasn’t been long since the two of them happened to have the same full day off, though it ends up feeling like it. It could be because they got to stay in bed a bit longer, not having to count the minutes between ‘barely on time’ and ‘run or be late’.

Maybe it’s the brightness that pours in through the windows. It’s rare for the sun to shine this brightly at this time of year on Paradis. It has been like that for a couple of days now, effectively drying up most of the moisture in the soil and developing little cracks in dirt roads.

Of course, this is a sign they’re in for a snowstorm that’ll make it hard to open doors. Armin used to love being the one tasked with jumping out the window and shoveling away snow to make room for the main door to open when he was a kid. Though that only happened two—perhaps three—times before things changed.

But he can’t complain with what he has now. Armin can’t remember the last time he didn’t have to constantly check the clock or dig through his pocket for a watch. Even Annie seems lighter on her feet, especially compared to the past couple of days, when he couldn’t quite pinpoint what was up with her and her lips were as good as sealed even if he were to ask.

Today, the sun had been a good way up the sky when they finally got out of bed and had breakfast. Noon, by the time they finally got off the couch and changed into warmer clothes that didn't require them to stretch a throw blanket over their laps to stay warm.

Still, no matter how much of a good day it is, Armin starts feeling the usual drowsiness that usually washes over him around noon. Onyankopon sure wasn’t exaggerating when he said coffee to be a double-edged sword that’s more likely to cut than a poorly-handled butcher's knife.

“Do you want something to drink,” Armin calls from the kitchen, holding up the kettle for Annie to see where she’s lacing up her shoes by the backdoor.

“Yeah, sure,” Annie says, and her voice hasn’t been this unrestrained and airy as of recently, he wishes for it to last.

Armin fills up the kettle to a scratch on the inside he’s come to find is an excellent estimation for filling two cups. He then closes the lid and places it on the stovetop before reaching for the matches in one of the many drawers.

The door reopens and Annie peeks in, less than ten seconds after she’d exited. “The weather’s nice out, come join?”

It doesn’t take much persuasion. In fact, no afterthought is needed before Armin joins her, finding that he doesn’t need more than the jacket he grabs on his way out.

Outside, it’s almost too bright that he has to squint his eyes all the way shut. If it weren’t for the warmth, he’d think a thick snow cover was responsible for this amount of light reflecting straight into his eyes.

The ground is mostly dry, even the tiniest bit of breeze could pick up dust for it to settle elsewhere. At least he can walk without being stuck in the mud or sinking to his knee into the snow. Wild birds, too, seem to appreciate this short break from freezing winds and neverending downpours.

He watches as Annie takes a couple of steps away and into the sun, stretching her arms up and to one side. While he doesn’t hear it, per se, he can see the moment something cracks uncomfortably in her back. She then lets her arms drop with a low sigh.

“I’m blaming you, you know,” Annie says, turning to face him. She continues stretching her arms and upper back, taking one arm over the opposite elbow before reversing direction. “I shouldn't've let you convince me to stay in all morning.”

“Hey, you were enjoying it, too.” He joins in her cracking the bones in his back, neck, and shoulders, though months of office work has stiffened everything up beyond comfort. He never thought he’d miss the days of the military, but damn did they keep him nimble.

“Wanna spar?”

“Me?”

“Mikasa hasn’t been around for a couple of days now and I’m feeling a little stiff. Besides, you could use some resharpening.”

“I’m not sure I can live up to the level you’re used to,” he says as Annie moves to stand opposite him, Armin widening his stance in response.

“It’ll be fun, nonetheless.” Her feet drift further apart and she raises her forearms to shield the view of her face, waiting for him to do the same—or the version he was taught during training.

It doesn’t surprise him that Annie’s too fast to see; one moment she’s standing a few feet from him, and the next, she’s landing a softened blow to his shoulder with the back of her hand. It’s enough to destabilize him, but he’s not gonna fall just yet. Not from something like that.

Twisting at his ankle, the ball of one foot digs into the ground and steadies him, providing him enough momentum to shield for her next blow. That works, this time he barely feels it when her fist slams into his forearm instead of his chest or collarbone.

The exchange of blows continues for a while longer. Logically, Armin knows if this had been a real fight he would’ve been flat on his back seconds into the first contact, but with Annie pulling back her kicks and punches, and moving at a speed she could muster half-asleep, he can keep up. Somewhat.

Hand-to-hand combat has never been his favorite subject, neither as a trainee nor before that when Hannes took to the side and tried to teach him some self-defense for his own sake. It’s hard to deny the exhilaration of a duel, especially when there’s very little at stake.

Armin could swear even his eyes have gotten bad from staring at nothing but handwritten—or printed if he’s lucky—reports all day. Switching to tracking fast movements that his body has to follow along is energizing.

Even Annie, though she’s far from her limit, she’s still moving; her breathing has picked up, hair tousled, and some redness has started to creep up under the skin of her face. Feeling like he’d gotten well into the rhythm of it, Armin decides to take her up on one of the windows she’s deliberately been leaving open for him, and he strikes a blow. The first half of it, at least.

It’s one Mikasa had taught him long ago for if he’s ever grabbed: threading his arm under Annie's, right behind her elbow and he twists, dropping as much of his body weight as possible back to dislodge her grip on his shoulder in preparation for the actual maneuver. He seems to have taken Annie off guard, for her eyes widen a bit, eyebrows shooting up as she hums to herself, “not bad.”

Armin doesn’t get to bask in the compliment nor pride that would’ve come with completing just one countermove against Annie’s frighteningly calculated attacks. Before he could make the switch, she takes full advantage of his off-kilter center of mass; kicking his feet from under him and straining his arm in the process.

How the fall straight on his back ends up only knocking the breath out of him without being accompanied by pain in his spine is beyond him. Thankfully, Annie doesn’t bother with restraining him or twisting a shoulder to drive the point that he lost. Instead, she settles for sitting with her weight fully on his hips and slightly hunched forward, a good enough sign that it’s over.

Armin’s glad he’s not the only one having to catch his breath, lungs struggling to pull in enough air, and throat burning with overexposure to cool ambiance. Annie, too, is breathing from her mouth, even if her inhales and exhales are noticeably more composed. Only the bottom half of her face is visible where her hair is tossed all over her features.

Just above her smile, the redness of her cheeks is apparent, and down her jaw and neck; clothes considerably heavier than what she’d normally wear for an exercise of this type.

When Annie straightens her back and pushes her hair up and out of her face, she relaxes her whole body with a long and loud sigh. The slight tension between her brows that was present throughout their exchange no longer in sight, leaving behind a lightness to her face that further accentuates the blue of her eyes with them softly opened.

What he wouldn’t give to see any be like this more often. Completely present with and in her whole self. Where she lacks hesitation, sure of her every move simply because it feels right.

“You can’t tell me this wasn’t energizing?” Annie says, amused, her voice airy and carried on the tail of a small laugh that he feels when it puffs out of her chest.

“Yea…” he breathes out, giving up and letting his back relax fully against the dirt. His eyes follow suit, falling to where he’s now aware she’s not wearing her usual binding, which somewhat flattens her chest for, what he assumes is, ease of movement. Though this time her clothes stick to her figure and it’s almost sudden how the heat overtakes him. It shouldn't. It makes sense. It’s a warmer day, the sun is out, they’re being active, and Annie’s unbelievably warm where she-

“Aaah!” With core strength he didn’t know he still had in him, Armin pushes himself up and off the ground. Hands gripping Annie at the ribs, he takes her along until she’s leaning back against his legs, where they’re bent at the knees.

It’s all in an attempt to just barely enough get her off his hips, and when her surprise is exclusive to his sudden movement he knows he’d succeeded, because if Armin managed to never be caught dead with humiliatingly tight pants at fourteen in the middle of training, he sure as hell wasn't gonna be caught as an adult.

Annie doesn’t say anything, her hands on his shoulders to steady herself in this awkward position as her eyes shift between his, waiting for him to sound an explanation.

It’s a long moment afterward with Armin’s mouth open but no words coming out and a face so red he’s surprised she still thinks it’s from the direct sun exposure and physical activity. “The- the hot water’s probably ready! It's not safe to let it boil unattended on the stove!”

“I don’t hear the whistle,” Annie says, glancing over his shoulder and towards the backdoor they’d left ajar.

“I… um, might’ve broken it last time I cleaned it.” He feels sweat at the back of his neck more now than before, even swallowing his hard.

“... okay.” Annie swings one leg over and between them to get off his lap. Armin’s quick to get on his haunches and up behind her as they head back inside, keeping both hands on her shoulders in a last effort to make sure she doesn’t turn around.

“Something hot to drink and unwind after this sounds nice, doesn't it?” Armin suggests in an almost singsong voice and he might’ve been overdoing it from the way she glances over her shoulder at him.

Inside with the door closed behind them, Annie heads into the kitchen while Armin takes cover behind the dining table, looking around the house like he’s seeing it for the very first time and impressed with the smallest of the most mundane detail.

“It's not even on.”

“Huh?”

“The flame,” she says, picking up the kettle and holding it up to show him with her bare hands. “It wasn’t burning.”

“Funny, I would’ve sworn I lit it before following you out,” Armin laughs awkwardly. Though, he's pretty sure he did light the fire.

“That’s unlike you,” she says. Thankfully, not caring to look any further into it as she grabs the box of fetches and starts a small flame under the kettle.

After watching Ash win the championship with Pikachu, ngl it made me feel emotional. I’m sure a lot of us grew up watching Pokémon and even tho I haven’t rly kept up w the series for a long time it’s so nostalgic seeing his gen 1 Pokémon up until the recent ones (still kinda salty about greninja he was one of Ash’s strongest too but plot had to happen) along w seeing old faces from past instalments ahh it rly brings me back to my days as a kid watching Pokémon at 8am on Saturdays when cable and television were still relevant. But it is nice to see Ash’s journey come to an end and finally see Ash accomplish his dream more than 2 decades later. (I wonder if they’ll ever have an older Ash appear in future series (if that happens)). Sorry to geek out about Pokémon for a while, but idk if I’m the only one but Ah’s relationship w Pikachu reminds me a lot of Grim and Yuu. It’s nice to see how their relationship has grown so much and it’s only gonna be more sad when Grim OB and he may hurt Yuu in the process; just imagining staring their journey together only to have it end at the hands of their partner.

Oh yeah!! I heard Ash won! Finally after 20 years 😭

Don't worry about geeking out with Pokemon, I also engage with Pokemon too! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet just came out and I'm lowkey jealous of my friends who are playing it because I don't have a switch <///3

I haven't been keeping up with the anime since gen 6, but I can relate with watching Pokemon on TV. I loved catching it on Cartoon Network unexpectedly, it just made me so happy! But much of my Pokemon watching really was on pirated DVDs showing the same first 7 movies and one Japanese ep of DP (ep 2 LMAO) and on sketchy anime sites. I didn't watch most seasons fully except the Orange Islands and the entirety of BW anime (BW was great, fight me). It's so nice to hear of other people's nostalgic experiences :"")

now onto the Twst part LMAO ughhh I'm trying to forget <//3 HAHAHAHAHA we hope for a happy end for Yuu and Grim, that's all I'm gonna feel for the inevitable Grim OB

Mox(ter) reporting. Some things you might want to know. Or not ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Things that keep me up at night: The camaraderie of the Autobots in Armada. Japanese punk and rock artists hitting Rs with that guttural growl. Trying to make up transforming figures in my head that don't exist for certain characters and getting pissed the next morning because I don't have them. Only thing stopping me is lack of access to a resin printer.

I am Mox/Moxter and have been a bot nerd since I was an anklebiter. Mostly gung-ho about other stuff like practical effects, costuming, figures/models, 3D modelling, old tech, lizards, and birding. I do art a little too, but I’m not too fond of the idea of putting it out on here quite yet. I mainly study tech communications, visual effects, and language. Couple years of Spanish but also picking up and learning bits of Japanese and Welsh when I can. I apologize beforehand if you see my dumb ass getting long-winded about Tailgate (full reason being too long to explain here).

I’m generally invested into anything related to toy design— mostly TakaraTomy, HasTak, and Sunrise bot stuff is my focus though. I am hooked on the design development surrounding Binaltech and Alternators for better or worse. And wouldn't you know, a bunch of car robots helped me to realize what I should re-prioritize my career track to be; that's the power of my dumb special interest at work

Got tired of updating which music artists I like at the moment, but I tend to stick to ELO, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, hip hop, rock, J-punk, ska, funk, and EDM. I don’t mind getting music recs.

If you want to go ahead and block some of my tags, I’ve got a list of them linked in my pinned post. I try to put alt tags in the majority of images I upload. May need a poke on that though once in a while because I can’t remember everything.

There will sometimes be 18+ content. It will be tagged or marked under community labels as such. I don’t want complaining when the tools are right there to prune out stuff. Block the tags, block me, or go on your own way.

I have an affinity for and somehow keep crushing on turbonerd robots in STEM and medicine.

It keeps happening.

Ok, but like, Archadis and Airazor too. Birdman, birdwoman? Man, I don’t care... I’m just bi and giddy. If you get bothered by that kind of thing, I will probably piss you off. r/transformers or some specialty forum like Seibertron is probably more your speed.

“Wander and Mater, How I Made My Two Favorite Animated Characters Brothers, The TRUE Story!” Written by WanderFan2000.

or WanderFan2000′s CRAZY origin story of how she made Wander and Mater brothers all the way back in high school. The Story: It was the year 2016…

My favorite Disney animated series, Wander Over Yonder was starting off with the second part of The Dominator Saga, which in this case, this tale takes place on February 8, 2016. The date when the episodes, The Cartoon and The Bot aired. (I wasn’t exactly a He-Man fan, because as we Wander fans remember The Cartoon was Lord Hater created a cartoon to impress Dominator and the whole thing was definitely a love letter to the old 80s shows we grew up with like He-Man: Masters of the Universe and even Scooby Doo.) Okay, I’m getting off topic here, so let’s move onto the part where things got interesting.

It all began after seeing the Cartoon Wander on my TV screen for the first time and the MOMENT when I saw him riding Cartoon Sylvia, this is what I whispered to myself:

“I knew it! I knew they (Wander and Mater) were brothers!” - WanderFan2000 on February 8th, 2016.

When the newest WOY episodes were over that night and during the next day at school, I kept thinking about Cartoon Wander, how he definitely reminded me a LOT about Mater…

Then in about one second: a brand new obsession was BORN!

The Drawings and Fan Art: After witnessing Cartoon Wander and ever so slowly becoming obsessed with the design, I decided to draw it along with Mater, (also in a space traveler form):

The design your looking at here is actually the SECOND design for Mater in the WOY universe. Also, the buckteeth is a reference to Cartoon Wander as well. But aside from the newly redesign I made for Mater, his brotherly adventures didn’t begin with him as a space traveler. They actually started when I settled on the final drawing design for the tow truck, which was the Little Golden Book form:

I kept drawing this design a lot:

Wander worried for Mater after he ate hot Wasabi.

Wander and Mater having fun with each other. But Mater didn’t start out as his LGB design, Mater started out with Wander, originally in his somewhat “3D” design I did for the tow truck:

Wander and Mater doing a crossover in Mater and the Ghostlight.

The Disney Pixar Brothers: After drawing Wander and Mater as brothers for…quite a while in high school, I decided on giving them both a name. Hitting Wander was from Disney and Mater was from Pixar, I suddenly came up with a name that was PERFECT for them: The Disney Pixar Brothers! During this time, I loved quoting the ending quote from Epic Mickey, because it genuinely fits for Wander and Mater, bounding as brothers:

The Disney Pixar Brothers.

Wander and Mater: The Disney Pixar Brothers.

I sure had fun with drawing Wander and Mater as brothers. But until noticing that it was still hard for me to draw Mater as a tow truck, I settled on a new design for him, a space traveler!

Tow Mater: The Space Traveler:

Mater’s OG space traveler design didn’t have a hat like he has now, but I couldn’t find ANY of my OG Mater space traveler designs, so I decided to show pictures his new current design.

Basically, Mater’s space traveler form consists of two things, his patched up hat to his dark blue shoes. Wander gave Mater his hat after encountering the Lemon Cars for the first time in an old BW city, complete with a Disney Store. (This was actually something I had going on in my brain back in 2016, because I have a CRAZY imagination!)

As I was giving Mater’s new form a go, there was no doubt he had a BUNCH of new adventures alongside Wander:

Mater and Wander recreating a deleted scene from Cars 2.

Definitely every little brother with their big brothers. XD (Also, OG space traveler design of Craig McCracken.)

Mater and Wander doing a scene from Cars: Mater-National Championship. (I watched this cutscene on YT tons of time as a kid.)

A Bond Between Two Brothers, The Cancelled Novel:

During my new obsession with drawing Wander and Mater as brothers, I decided on one thing: write a novel about them. The novel was officially called: A Bond Between Two Brothers, which was going to be an origin story of how Wander and Mater become brothers. I still remember drawing a book cover for the story. I was ready to set out and write it, it unfortunately never came to be and A Bond Between Two Brothers was left on the drawing broad…But who knows? Maybe I’ll bring this old novel back someday…

Into The Dark Ages:

As many cartoons I came across, they always had those “dark elements” I love witnessing, whenever it’s Wander getting scared by the Phantomimes in The Heebie Jeebies or Mater getting captured in Cars 2. I knew I could definitely make some dark pictures featuring the brothers, better yet, pictures that would crush their spirits…

I always had these ideas where Wander was in the Cars 2 universe, trying to rescue Mater from his captivity, but he ends up too late to rescue his brother, unfortunately, that can’t give me the idea of drawing Wander holding Mater as Mater gives a tried and defeated expression while Wander giving a terrified and scared expression at Mater’s captives. NTM, this is a trend that I still draw today. The Conclusion:

As I mentioned before, Wander and Mater’s brotherly bond have DEFINITELY took them to new heights, even in my fan made series, they love to refer to themselves as brothers. It’s funny how one simple episode from WOY gave me the inspiration to make Wander and Mater as brothers.

Plus, even in this new decade: Wander and Mater will ALWAYS be brothers! The End.

#A story I wanted to TELL THE WORLD!
