SONIC OC BARRAGE GO
Introducing a bunch of my sonic ocs that no one really asked for, but I felt like drawing!
The "Squad of the Future" redux because the squad got bigger
Tumblr media
Each character and a little bit about themselve's under the readmore!
Angel Robotnik-Cemerald the Cat
Tumblr media
The oldest of the squad, being a few hundred years old now, though she lost track a long time ago. She is a clone created by Eggman, using both His and Vick's Dna, made to be the perfect heir to share his eventual kingdom with. ... Well she got his smarts and his love for building, but thats about it. She has to keep her little half brother, Draco, out of trouble.
Draco Johnathan Cemerald-Robotnik the Hedgecat
Tumblr media
The "brains" of the group, 12 year old Draco is the son of Vick Cemerald and Shadow Robotnik. He has a problem with his arrogance, but doesn't hesitate to put himself between his friends and danger. He's constantly bugging his big sisters, both his half sister Angel as well as his full sister Raven. Demetre is his very best friend.
Demetre the Porcupine
Tumblr media
Demetre is Draco's keeper, aka the one to always humble the dumbest smart person he knows. With his ability to fire his quills at a rapid rate, he's more of a long range attacker. He enjoys science, like Draco, though isn't quite on his level.
Henry the Bearded Dragon
Tumblr media
Henry is a quiet kind of guy, usually having his nose in a book or drawing sick comics. He's a tad self conscious about his looks, so he tries to look the part of "bad boy". But with his big heart and stupendous healing abilities, he's a great ally to have.
Kevin the Armadillo and Mesmer the Hedgehog
Tumblr media
Kevin is the literal big brother of the group, with his little Sibling Mesmer always by his side. They may not be the strongest of the squad, but their experiences in life make them invaluable. Mesmer is always reminding everyone that theres time to smile, while Kevin reminds them of responsibility that they all share.
Lexis the Sloth
Tumblr media
Lexis is the powerhouse, with an explosive power to gather potential energy and turn it into kinetic energy. To prevent herself from making a destructive mistake, Lexis prefers to spend her free time sleeping, either in a bed or where ever she can get cozy.
Prince Kappa of the Kingdom of Shells and Princess Marina of the Kingdom of Urchins
Tumblr media
Prince Kappa and Princess Marina are two royals from the same continent, one madly in love with the other. I'll give you three guesses as to which is which. Marina's father, King Marin, wants the two to be wed in order to combine the two kingdoms. Kappa, however, as a single heir to a kingless kingdom, does not want this. He does not like Marina in that way and just wants to be friends who hang out.
Jaque the Hedgehog
Tumblr media
The Dream Walker, Jaque has the ability to enter the astral plane in his sleep as well as the dreamscapes of others. He is incapable of having dreams of his own. Usually he's the therapist of the friend group, unable to help himself on coming upon nightmares when called out to.
Piper the Retriever
Tumblr media
Although not the oldest, Piper has big Mom friend energy, scolding the more irresponsible of the group often. While having no powers to speak of, she has a great sense of leadership though claims that shes no leader. She loves to take care of her friends, especially when they forget to eat, sleep, or sometimes breathe.
Axel the Meerkat
Tumblr media
The strongman, loving to casually show off his strength, Axel has, you guessed it, strength class abilities. He is a mute sort, never seeming to utter a word, though no one really knows why. His best friend Gou seems to understand him regardless.
Gou the Porcupine
Tumblr media
Gou is a Speedster, only able to launch a single quill at a time but with great precision and speed. His best friend Axel tends to keep his class clown attitude in check, but with his big mouth its hard to get out of the tricky situations they get into. He uses a cyber sleeve on his right arm to gather intel, and to also sometimes watch videos on TuYube.
Dr. Nikolia Moore the Tigeress
Tumblr media
Nikolia is the team's Medic, being the only one of them certified with a doctorate in medicine as well as nutritional health. Her deadpan face can be intimidating to most, but her heart is that of a mother. A mother who will rip off the head of something hurting an innocent, a friend, or worse, a child. She is a strong believer in Doctor/Patient Confidentiality, and would never out someone for anything with out asking if it was okay to speak on the matter. She and Angel are Colleagues.
And that's all for now! Thank you for reading thus far.

So.... I made some pj mask AUs based off the prompt/trope people on pjmcord gave me (school au, angels and demons au, fae au)
School AU:
Premise: I know you probably meant just a normal school AU, but I'm actually incapable of writing something without fantasy elements, so its a school au: but they all still have their powers. In this au, the government knows about monsters and magic and stuff, and although the general population doesn't know about them, its not exactly "keep secret at all costs" information. So that nobody dies when the magical kids are too young to fully control their magic, they're kept seperated from ordinary kids in the education system until a certain age. So basically all the nighttime kids are in a class, and teacher is a new, human, teacher fresh out of uni and teaching his first class. These kids are a nightmare for him (/pos) and he struggles not to be killed every night.
Other stuff: There is a lot of drama between the villains and heroes, especially at lunch break. The main friend groups are the terrible trio and the pj trio, but the other characters have friend groups as well, and its not uncommon for everyone to just play nicely as one big group some nights and then all hate each other the next. The sidekicks do exist in this AU, but they're not allowed in the classroom because they're not students. This does not stop any of them: the ninjalinos sneak in to play with night ninja at break, Romeo is always making a machine of some sort, its very hard to keep moths out of the outdoor playground, octobella hides Percival in her bag, etc. The whole au would probably just be teacher being like: "Apophis, I'll put you in detention until the end of time if you try to trap bastet in a pyramid again!" "Kevin, don't put that in your mouth! No, I don't care what Howler dared you do to!" "Romeo, what did I say about stealing stuff from the maintenance room? You can't take over the world with the wifi router!"
Also, the heroes are monsters in this au, so owlette is a harpy, an yu has more dragon features, etc
Angels and Demons AU
Lore: Angels and demons usually hide which one they are, their wings and stuff can dissapear at will and they don't have to use their powers. Furthermore, its a contemporary!angels and demons au, so while everyone has angel or demon blood, some have the full features (horns, slitted pupils, angel wings, halos, etc) when they show their true forms, others merely contain some angel or demon blood and no affects from this (which is most common). There are also powers, which can be pretty much anything. Physical features aren't required to have powers, but they're usually hand in hand.
Other stuff: Amaya is the only one with wings and a few extra eyes, while connor has a halo, and greg has a few small feathers (not enough to fly with or form wings), but has the power of strength. The villains are all demons. Luna has wings, NN has horns (like an oni) and romeo hasn't shown his true form yet. However, Armadylan and An Yu are also demons! The PJs didn't trust armadylan at all at first because they're racist you can't trust demons, but after they met an yu, realised that maybe not all demons are bad and didn't choose to be like this. Also: pharaoh boy is a fallen angel, but bastet refuses to talk about what happened to make him lose his light. The rest of the power heroes are all angels. And for the characters I haven't talked about yet:
Wolfies: no features or powers, except their werewolf powers(werewolf blood dominated the demon genes)
Armadylan: 4 horns on his head that stick out from his helmet, as well as a tail beneath the armadillo tail on his suit. Canon powers
An Yu: Black and red scales, slitted red eyes, fangs, claws. Canon powers
Ice Cub: Has three halos, no powers until his exposure to the asteroid though
Newton: two sets of wings, four eyes (haha), canon powers
Speedy twins: demon tails
Bastet: small wings behind her ears
Octobella: gekko swears she's a demon, but she's not (she's a cecaelia)
feel feee to ask me about the other characters, i was too lazy to write them all (rip)
Fae AU
So, in this AU lilyfay is the only fae. She's from an alien race of space fae, idk. The problem is, she's the first of her kind to visit earth in hundreds of years, and nobody really remembers the rules of the fay anymore, or that they exist. Which means that there are many shenanigans.
Lilyfay loves to clean, but unfortunately power Q is already pretty clean because of PJ robot, so except for when gloop attacks, she needs to find other places to clean. She occasionally just shows up at the flying factory to clean it (romeo is not good at keeping his lab tidy). And Romeo freaked out the first time but he got intrigued after that. When Romeo disrespected her the first time she refused to take that shit and turned him into a fawn (fae will sometimes transform humans into creatures if they don't like them), but only for one night so that he would learn his lesson. After this, Romeo takes up some of the Creideamh Sí so that he won't get deer'd again, which starts with giving Lilyfay milk when she shows up and progresses to the two of them having tea parties together. The duo kind of become friends, but lilyfay will not hesitate to kick his ass if he lies to her or offends her in some other way. Nobody else knows about their secret.
Lilyfay also has a garden in power Q, that has a ton of hawthorn saplings among other things. She and An Yu tend to the garden, but An Yu isn't allowed to touch the hawthorn. Lilyfay would love to drag the gang back to the land of the fay, but she's enjoying earth a lot and figures that she'll stay, for now at least. Also, her true fae form is hidden behind a human disguise (I don't think that lilyfay would be a changeling, but i'm going to incorporate some elements of changelings in for funsies) she can also play instruments and loves to dance, but she and her friends only ever play just dance and take turns so that she doesn't have to (by law) drag them away forever.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
How long can you hold your breath? Armadillos can hold theirs for up to 6 minutes! This is an important trait to have when most of their food is underground, and they have to dig to find it. It’s also given rise to many myths and folklore, including a fable in Paraguay that claims armadillos can easily walk along the bottom of rivers.

Yall, I need you to meet my new kitten. He has CH (cerebellar hypoplasia aka wobbly cat syndrome aka drunken sailor cat) and is deaf. His name is Captain Kevin Seapaws lol
So basically, CH occurs when kittens are still in the womb typically. The mama cat contracts a virus and the kittens can be affected by it. What it means is, Kevin doesn't have much control of his back legs (doesn't stop this kitten I swear on all the gods I watched this little boy do a two second handstand walk and make it halfway across the living room.) He walks like a cross between a newborn antelope and an armadillo and it is super cute. Basically he flops everywhere and when he's excited/nervous his head wiggles.
No need to worry about him, his condition will never worsen and it doesn't cause him pain or dizziness. The worst thing is he gets a little poopy in the litter box and needs butt washes daily, but even that can improve as he gets older. Thankfully, his case is only moderate so I have hope for the little guy.
His name Kevin comes from a few places, but most notably Kevin Day from All for the Game by Nora Sakavic. Kevin in the book receives a severe injury to his dominant hand but doesn't let him stop him from learning to work with his injury and I just find that really inspirational 🥰🥰🥰
I'm making this post because CH is something that a lot of vets have never heard of (let alone by people who aren't trained in animal medicine) and a lot of kittens are euthanized before even being properly diagnosed. I want to raise awareness about his condition because while these adorable cats are special needs, they are 100% capable leading happy and healthy lives. ♡ I'll be starting a tiktok/youtube channel for him to raise awareness as well.
(Video is from his foster mama who happens to be an author friend of mine! Check out Kit Barrie for queer romance!)

I just listened to this truly wonderful podcast interview with Danny Pino again, where he talks not only about his upbringing and many of the characters he’s played like Miguel Galindo, Nick Amaro and Armadillo Quintero but also about auditioning for those roles, failing auditions on other occasions and writing episodes on Cold Case. it is a beautiful interview that I love so very much. each time listening to it, it makes me fall in love with Danny more. if you want to spend an hour and 15 minutes on something inspiring and funny and heartwarming, this is where you can do it.
and how freaking cute is he in this photo with podcast host Kevin Pollak?!

So, I read Michael Waldron's original script which landed him the job at Loki, and it is the weirdest, craziest, most bonkers thing I ever read 🤣🤣. I legit wondered if he actually wrote that for production or if it was a parody but one thing is clear, Michael truly wants a 'MTV fight award'.
Honestly though, the series have the mark of all three; Michael, Kate and Tom. It has Michael's absurdity mixed with Kate's reimagining of stereotypes and Tom's thoughtfulness. What a trio these three are: the whacky dude, the movie nerd and the Shakespeare guy.
And this (affectionate) absurd script prompted a chat between me and @queen-of-meows which is too hilarious to not share.
(credit: @queen-of-meows )
MICHAEL: gives 20 random ideas on a piece of paper
KATE: Hmm, we could make this look like this classic movie
TOM: Guys, doesn't it look a bit like this classic piece of litterature ?
(credit: me)
Michael sitting there while Kate and Tom get into a deep conversation: Can we add Sylvie soccer kicking an armadillo with lasers mounted on it's back? No? how about an alligator Loki?
Tom and Kate: But how can an alligator be a Loki?
Michael: He's green, isn't he?
I can bet that line was written by Michael. And I seriously want to know if Kevin actually read that entire script before he hired Michael?

Tom Hiddleston Says He’s a ‘Temporary Torchbearer’ Playing Loki
Tumblr media
Tom Hiddleston has said he sees himself as a “temporary torchbearer” when it comes to playing Marvel’s god of chaos.
Hiddleston made the comments in a panel discussion about Disney Plus’ original series “Loki” on Wednesday evening hosted by the Royal Television Society. Hiddleston was joined on stage in London, U.K. by his co-star Sophia Di Martino, who plays Sylvie, series writer Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron [who appeared via Zoom.]
“I’m a temporary torchbearer,” Hiddleston said of sharing the character with Di Martino as well as Richard E. Grant and an alligator — all of whom play Loki variants — in the series. “I’ve always thought that. It’s a great role. It’s an archetype, the trickster god, the agent of chaos. I’m just here interpreting that for the time being. Loki has been here for centuries and will be here for centuries more and I’m just stepping into that silhouette for now.”
His comments come as the first tranche of Marvel Cinematic Universe faces — including Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans — hang up their superhero suits following the release of “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019.
Hiddleston, who has now been playing Loki for over a decade, explained that he was drawn to making the eponymous limited series due to the show’s themes of identity and acceptance. “This idea of somehow the [Time Variance Authority] confronting Loki with the shape-shifting nature of his identity and asking him ‘Who are you?’ I found it a new avenue to explore with this character I’ve been playing for a while,” Hiddleston said. “It felt original. It didn’t feel like we were repeating.”
“Loki,” which centers around time travel, even touches on more erudite topics such as philosophy and psychology. “Michael [Waldron] and I were having breakfast a couple of years ago when [he’d] written that first pilot and found ourselves talking about psychoanalytic theory and repetition compulsion and [the question of] can you ever change?” Hiddleston recalled. “Is it possible for people to change? Even if you do will people accept that you’ve changed? Is it possible to know yourself entirely?”
“And then Owen [Wilson] came and was so forensic about examining all of that stuff, and then we realized we were in a police detective thriller. When I was cast as Loki however many years ago, I never thought this character is a detective. But he is here.”
In a wide-ranging talk, Hiddleston, Di Martino, Waldron and Herron discussed various aspects of the series, which will be returning for a second season. “You’ve got to test the fences,” Waldron, who has also written the forthcoming “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” said of some of the show’s wackier elements (such as the afore-mentioned Loki alligator).
“With [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige, you get to see how far you can go,” Waldron explained. “So you write in Sylvie soccer kicking an armadillo with a laser mounted on its back and they tell you ‘OK, that’s too much. I like the mind invasion but maybe pull back on the laser armadillo.’”
Waldron also revealed that “Loki’s” dialogue-heavy structure was “me testing the fences. That could have easily been another laser armadillo situation.”
He recalled turning in a 15-page dialogue scene between Loki and Mobius for the pilot episode with the expectation he’d eventually cut it down. “And instead the response came back, ‘Can this be longer?’” Waldron said. “And so then I got excited.”
In Waldron’s eyes, the extended dialogue made sense for the character. “One of Loki’s superpowers is his ability to talk his way out of any situation, talk his way into any situation. You want to watch Superman fly, so I wanted to watch Loki talk.”
“And so because this was a show — because we had six hours — that was the most exciting thing to me,” Waldron said. “We get to take a villain from an action movie franchise and have these dialogue-heavy scenes that feel like prestige television.”
The extended dialogues and long takes (“I love a long take,” Herron admitted) also gave the actors the sense they were acting in a theater at points. “Owen actually turned to me at one point said, ‘This feels like a play,’” Hiddleston recalled.
The scale of the show presented a challenge, however. “It was like making almost three Marvel movies just because we were filming so many hours of content at the same time,” Herron said. “I think I just didn’t think about it in terms of the massive scale and just tried to tackle it day by day, just because it was such a mammoth task to get it done.”
Di Martino had recently given birth when she embarked on the shoot, which required her to relocate (with her family) across the Atlantic, so she said it took some time to grapple with the enormity of the job. “There was a lot going on,” said Di Martino. “I think I didn’t really come to terms with it. I just sort of ignored it for as long as possible and just treated it like any other job.”
“And then there’s a moment where you’re on the stage in the studio with, you know, Gugu [Mbatha-Raw] and Tom, and we’re doing this huge fight scene,” Di Martino recalled. “And there was a moment towards the end of filming where I was like, ‘Shit. I’m doing a Marvel show.’ I think it took a while to sink in.” (Variety)

His comments come as the first tranche of Marvel Cinematic Universe faces — including Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans — hang up their superhero suits following the release of “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019.
Hiddleston, who has now been playing Loki for over a decade, explained that he was drawn to making the eponymous limited series due to the show’s themes of identity and acceptance. “This idea of somehow the [Time Variance Authority] confronting Loki with the shape-shifting nature of his identity and asking him ‘Who are you?’ I found it a new avenue to explore with this character I’ve been playing for a while,” Hiddleston said. “It felt original. It didn’t feel like we were repeating.”
“Loki,” which centers around time travel, even touches on more erudite topics such as philosophy and psychology. “Michael [Waldron] and I were having breakfast a couple of years ago when [he’d] written that first pilot and found ourselves talking about psychoanalytic theory and repetition compulsion and [the question of] can you ever change?” Hiddleston recalled. “Is it possible for people to change? Even if you do will people accept that you’ve changed? Is it possible to know yourself entirely?”
“And then Owen [Wilson] came and was so forensic about examining all of that stuff, and then we realized we were in a police detective thriller. When I was cast as Loki however many years ago, I never thought this character is a detective. But he is here.”
In a wide-ranging talk, Hiddleston, Di Martino, Waldron and Herron discussed various aspects of the series, which will be returning for a second season. “You’ve got to test the fences,” Waldron, who has also written the forthcoming “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” said of some of the show’s wackier elements (such as the afore-mentioned Loki alligator).
“With [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige, you get to see how far you can go,” Waldron explained. “So you write in Sylvie soccer kicking an armadillo with a laser mounted on its back and they tell you ‘OK, that’s too much. I like the mind invasion but maybe pull back on the laser armadillo.’”
Waldron also revealed that “Loki’s” dialogue-heavy structure was “me testing the fences. That could have easily been another laser armadillo situation.”
He recalled turning in a 15-page dialogue scene between Loki and Mobius for the pilot episode with the expectation he’d eventually cut it down. “And instead the response came back, ‘Can this be longer?’” Waldron said. “And so then I got excited.”
In Waldron’s eyes, the extended dialogue made sense for the character. “One of Loki’s superpowers is his ability to talk his way out of any situation, talk his way into any situation. You want to watch Superman fly, so I wanted to watch Loki talk.”
“And so because this was a show — because we had six hours — that was the most exciting thing to me,” Waldron said. “We get to take a villain from an action movie franchise and have these dialogue-heavy scenes that feel like prestige television.”
The extended dialogues and long takes (“I love a long take,” Herron admitted) also gave the actors the sense they were acting in a theater at points. “Owen actually turned to me at one point said, ‘This feels like a play,’” Hiddleston recalled.
The scale of the show presented a challenge, however. “It was like making almost three Marvel movies just because we were filming so many hours of content at the same time,” Herron said. “I think I just didn’t think about it in terms of the massive scale and just tried to tackle it day by day, just because it was such a mammoth task to get it done.”
Di Martino had recently given birth when she embarked on the shoot, which required her to relocate (with her family) across the Atlantic, so she said it took some time to grapple with the enormity of the job. “There was a lot going on,” said Di Martino. “I think I didn’t really come to terms with it. I just sort of ignored it for as long as possible and just treated it like any other job.”
“And then there’s a moment where you’re on the stage in the studio with, you know, Gugu [Mbatha-Raw] and Tom, and we’re doing this huge fight scene,” Di Martino recalled. “And there was a moment towards the end of filming where I was like, ‘Shit. I’m doing a Marvel show.’ I think it took a while to sink in.”"

Tom Hiddleston Says He’s a ‘Temporary Torchbearer’ Playing Loki | Variety
Tumblr media
Tom Hiddleston has said he sees himself as a “temporary torchbearer” when it comes to playing Marvel’s god of chaos.
Hiddleston made the comments in a panel discussion about Disney Plus’ original series “Loki” on Wednesday evening hosted by the Royal Television Society. Hiddleston was joined on stage in London, U.K. by his co-star Sophia Di Martino, who plays Sylvie, series writer Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron [who appeared via Zoom.]
“I’m a temporary torchbearer,” Hiddleston said of sharing the character with Di Martino as well as Richard E. Grant and an alligator — all of whom play Loki variants — in the series. “I’ve always thought that. It’s a great role. It’s an archetype, the trickster god, the agent of chaos. I’m just here interpreting that for the time being. Loki has been here for centuries and will be here for centuries more and I’m just stepping into that silhouette for now.”

I designed Mini Boss Romero’s mom, Polly. (I forgot to edit the fact that their last name is Romeo and only Romero’s last name is the same as his first due to a mix up on his birth certificate)
She’s a nice lady, great even, and a good mom too. She loves her boy Romero a lot and often worries about the stuff he gets up to. She and her ex husband split up around the time Romero decided to do the BIG JUMP and become a necromancer and for a long while he believe it was because of that his dad left; but they were already on the rocks for a long while.
She does drink a good bit but that’s mainly to deal with her personal issues that come up with being married to her current husband, Kevin, and tries not to let that interfere with her ability to be a mom. Kevin is not a nice man an honestly Polly only married him because she feels like she’s unfit to be a single mother and a worker and needs someone with an actual income to support her. Kevin is never physically abusive; but he’s often critical of the things she likes and frequently gets into screaming fights with Romero.
Her favorite thing to do nowadays is to sit with a boxed wine on the couch, post a shower, watching Life Time Movie Network movies with her son’s undead Armadillo who isn’t supposed to be in the living room Armadillos belong in the basement (so sayeth Kevin) Her best friend in the world is Raymond who works at the liqour store who she grew up with and she’d do witchy medium things with him. Kevin doesn’t like her hanging out with him and doesn’t believe in that mumbo jumbo. She was sort of a real hippie before she married Kevin and since then she’s had to box a lot of that stuff into storage so to please Kevin’s picky standards.

Something Rare (MM #3113) I caught a glimpse of something rare over the weekend. It wasn't something I was looking for, in fact I never expected to see this. Now I'm sure that you'll think this was silly, but I was fascinated...

Hello! I'm really enjoying The Cards We're Dealt, as well as the pieces on Tumblr. However, I especially love the chapters introducing us to the freshmen, particularly Ricky's. This kid only joined Exy because his therapist said "It's a good idea!" and he doesn't know what he's doing and... oh, man. The tryout scene was so excellent. Love it. Okay, done gushing. I was wondering, what are the freshmen's majors, and who is thinking they'd like to go pro if they can? Thanks!
AW I’m so excited that you like my freshman!!! They’re the loves of my life!
Charlie studies Sports & Adventure Media. Sophomore year he adds a minor in photography. After graduating he stays and gets his masters in Palmetto, which means that he stays close by Wymack. During this time he interns or starts out working with PSU’s media team for PSU sports, so he gets to hang by the stadium a lot as well. After that he gets a job in DC working for ESPN or whatever big sports team is out there.
Eva studies Physical Therapy. After graduation they move in with Charlie hehe and spend 3 years after graduation getting their Doctorate in Physical Therapy. They pass their exam and earn their 2,000 hours of work experience working with Abby and the Exy team. Once they pass whatever other exam they score an internship for the NY Canines professional Exy team and work their way up there. They and Charlie break up for a short period since he’s in DC for the past two years but they find their way back to one another.
Ricky studies Secondary Education yay!! Even though he plans on going pro… which he successfully does. He’s no Kevin Day (none of them are) but he gets drafted to the NY Canines. He and Eva are only there together for two months before he gets traded to the NYC Blackhawks. They hang out a lot tho since they’re close.
Gwen is in Civil Engineering. She moves back to Texas after graduation and does her masters there. She has the hardest time of them all because she doesn’t stay close right after and her Exy career just… stops. She gets a job and sticks with it for a few years then has a crisis and says fuck it and gets a teaching degree. She’s gets certified in ASL and uses it a lot with her younger students that aren’t as verbal. She loves it. (She also becomes the school’s Exy coach bc she can’t help it).
Kenna studies Addiction Studies and gets drafted to the Boston Bulldogs out of college. After 2 years she gets traded to the Houston Racers for 4 years which yay because Jack is in Dallas. She plays on US Court once with Kevin and Neil (they’re on it like every year duh). She gets pregnant (whoops) after those 4 years in Houston and Jack surprises her by showing her an engagement ring that he’d been saving for the past year. She goes back to Exy for a year after that and plays with Jack but then retires. Idk how this works but I’d like to think she becomes one of the first female Exy coaches in the National Exy League.
Jack my beloved boy studies Social Work but goes pro to the Texas Armadillos (Dallas). He’s with them for six years but transfers to the Houston Racers because Kenna gets pregnant. They get married a few months later and Kenna is one of those people who’s baby belly barely shows so she wears this nice ass dress and announces her pregnancy at the wedding. Everyone is shocked. Ricky and Charlie instantly fight over godfather status.
This is more than you asked for but I just love them all <3

Your non anon , anon here to ask you
If each of your favs was a type of animal what animal would they be
Hey there my non anon, here is my answer, you have been vague, and I took advantage of it, so bear with it.
As ever, it took me so long to answer this. I'm starting to believe that I over-think this and I do lots of research just to justify my own answer.
Dani Pedrosa: a bunny. They are small and cute, but they can attack when they need. I saw a bunny jump and throw a punch against a dog. By the way, the rabbit won.
Luca Marini: a Philippine cobra. They're cold-blooded, and they wait for the right opportunity to attack. And by the way, I really like Luca and snakes, so this is not a joke.
Iker Lecuona: I previously defined his spirit animal as a kitty, I'm just going to go with squirrel this time. They are cute and small.
Joe Roberts: guinea pigs. For no reason, I saw one with long hair and gave such 70s vibes that Joe came to my mind.
Álex Rins: an octopus. They fit in small places even if they are big, they change their appearance to their convenience and appear in places you don't expect them. I won't be surprised if Rins wins a race from the pit-lane or the back row, so yeah, it fits him.
Enea Bastianini: Mongoose because they are immune to snake venom, they are sociable animals, and they are small.
Brad Binder: a cheetah still not an adult, but he's no longer a cub playing around.
María Herrera: Canada lynx. For no reason she gives me lynx vibe and from lynx this one is the one who looks broad like her in leather. (We need to adapt leathers because males look slender and women boarder while wearing them).
Darryn Binder: obviously a cheetah too, but he's a cub, still playing around. I'm just waiting to see him beat McPh** this year.
Celestino Vietti: for some reason when thinking about Cele baby koala came to mind, so a baby koala it is. And he's holding into Bezz, did you expect something else?
Remy Gardner: for some reason he gives the vibes of enjoying the summer and doing surf, so I'm just going to say Spotfin lionfish because aesthetically I find it refreshing, and you can find them in Australia.
Because you didn't specify if it's only MotoGP (and the 'feeder' series), here are other sportwomen/man I like too. I said, you were vague, and I used it.
Ana Carrasco: snow leopard because of their resistance and their majestic appearance.
Sergio Llull (player of Real Madrid and Spanish National Basketball team): Harris's hawk, they are social and intelligent, but they have a killer instinct, just like Llull, who never gives up on a match.
Ricky Rubio (player of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Spanish National Basketball team): peacock, just because they have this big tail very colourful, clearly a show-off, just like him assisting and scoring during matches.
Luka Dončić (player of Dallas Mavericks and Slovenian National Basketball team): clearly a tiger. They are predators and work alone, just like this star.
Marcus Slaughter (player of AEK Basketball Club): an impala. When he was in Spain, he did surprise people by how high he could jump. Plus, despised playing as a pivot, he's not boarder, he's slender like the impala.
Almudena Cid (ex-rhythmic gymnast): Red-crowned crane just because they are graceful and beautiful, such as gymnasts.
Kevin Magnussen: a stray cat. It's difficult to win his attention and respect, but once you do it, he's your friend forever.
Max Verstappen: I've associated him with an armadillo for the reason of having a tough exterior. Plus, when they are threatened they roll up and become a ball, like him after having been called up. After watching some photos, I'll go with naked-tailed armadillo.
Esteban Ocon: a fawn. With such long and slender legs you suspect them to be uncoordinated, but they are not.
Lance Stroll: marshmallow, what do you mean they are not animals? Then, I'll go with a dolphin because they are intelligent and playful.
So this is all for now, I think.
