i dont know how to ask questions. but i now need to know everything about this au. any little scrap will do i just NEEDDDDD INFORMATIONNNNN

[sharp inhale] hi. fucking beams you

okay quick note: this is literally something thats been in my head for like 2 or 3 days if you see consistency issues ignore them bless. also for consistency purposes shadow has a higher concentration of chaos energy (bc i dont think this is ever said in any games but is just kinda implied)

the basic premise is that maria and shadow both survived the raid on the ARK and survived the fall to earth

Maria does still get injured and, in an attempt to heal her injuries, is able to use his own chaos energy to not only heal her, but more or less reverse the effects of NIDS at the cost of keeping his black arms traits completely at bay

additionally this extreme concentration effectively ruins his regulators, causing his issues with his black arms traits to be worse than they couldve been

With the reversal of her disease, Maria's lifespan and aging process is uh. kinda messed up, extending it by a pretty significant amount by making her aging process much slower

they go into hiding best they can and the 50 year timeskip that takes place in sa2 instead becomes time where they try and figure out 1. how the world works and 2. more about their past bc they were both kept in the dark about things while on the ARK (basically wtf was going on with shadows creation and why did GUN attack in the first place)

on the other hand, shadow experiences some mutations (third eye, sharper claws, increased amount of red quills/fur) and is more prone to violent episodes

these episodes are especially bad during their first few years on mobius but after awhile hes able to keep these episodes at bay much much better

i also lied when i said i wouldnt post the art this entire post is the entire au as of right now so heres their (still kinda wip) modern designs

this is where i havent thought things out as well but uhh BASICALLY maria hears about tails and how hes a genius and goes "huh. maybe this guy can help us but i have no clue on how to contact him"

this is also where things are very muddy but more or less shadow and sonic accidentally meet, maria finds them about to beat the shit out of eachother and offers sonic a meal as an apology

during this she tells shadow about tails and sonic goes "oh hey thats my brother :D" and there is no way to describe how they react in text so heres a doodle

as an agent for GUN, rouge is more or less the only true key they have to figuring everything out, so they have tails contact her (sonic and tails arent friends with her but its tails he has his ways) and she agrees to help them and uncover their past through some good ol spy work against gun, but says that theres a hefty price behind this work, that price being the chaos emeralds (this is her idea of being absurd and telling them that theres no way in hell she would do the job without being payed shittons of money) but they go "ok lol"

sonic tells tails about shadow and maria and how they want his help, and tails agrees

he does scans on the both of them and tells them exactly what happened to them all that time ago (marias disease being reversed, shadows glorified hormone imbalance) but says that he cant help with much else because he just. doesnt know enough about either of their conditions to really give any solid insight or advice but knows someone who might . this is where rouge comes in :}

this is where things kinda leave off bc like i said i thought of this like. three days ago LOL

right around this time the black arms invasion starts and through a series of events that i also havent thought out yet shadow gets like. partially assimilated into the hivemind

he still has his own conscious thoughts but cant control his actions, making him a threat

secretly a rat

New pokemon oc/sona ♥

I was suddenly intensely compelled to draw Simon as a Pokémon trainer so this exists now d(•w• ).

I initially was going to make him a Dark type trainer since Dark is super effective against Ghost and most of what he hunts would fall under that I guess, also a lot of his designs have some similar color schemes as other Dark type things, BUT I realized that, surprisingly, Ghost actually fits wayyyyyy better. Ghost is also super effective against Ghost (I have always found this funny lol) and has both more Pokémon that make sense character wise as well as moves like “Curse”. Mimikyu’s whole thing is that it looks up to and wants to be just as adored as Pikachu and idk I think Simon would kinda vibe with that a lot. Also the whole Litwick line and like ya know Castlevania games and their candles, the chandeliers, it just fits. Simon’s Quest also has the Mysterious Woman who appears with the mist in a graveyard and may or may not be a ghost who helps Simon so that tracks too. He also just seems like he’d spend a lot of time hangin around in a cemetery idk how to explain that.

His design is mostly just an altered Simon’s Quest outfit, but I added elements of his other designs to it like bits of red in his hair, the cape from the manual drawings (and the smash bros teaser I guess lol), the fur and boots from Ayami’s design, a ripped skirt thing like the smash bros design (I’m sure other designs have had something similar too I just can’t think about which rn), the armband thingys and the headband from his NES cover and X68000 designs, etc etc. I imagine that he’d probably have the cape down most of the time and come off as a more brown focused design (I didn’t color them all the way cause I didn’t wanna get all my colored pencils out oof) and say things that kinda mislead the player into thinking he’s maybe a Fighting type trainer or something. Then when actually battling him he pushes the cape back and oh wow big reveal!

Yeah idk, this was fun tho. Maybe I’ll draw some other Belmonts as trainers too eventually, I have some ideas already hmmm. Also it is so so hard to remember what I have and have not posted here, especially since I know I’ve posted this elsewhere so I keep feeling like I’ve already written all of this before ｡(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡. So if I’ve already posted something please tell me, my memory sucks most of the time and I’d greatly appreciate that!

Pretend to be what you will, but under the light of the full moon, there's no more room for playing at civility (you are a monster, and you cannot control your nature)

I DONT KNOW ITS REALLY SCARY

What is your favourite headcanon for Mason?

first of all thank you so much for asking 🥹🥹

i have so many but my head has been filled with only sad things regarding mason recently so here is one that makes me happy:

mason visits melissa and dr geyer at the hospital sometimes, and he brings them both dinner.

melissa is skeptical at first but dr geyer just smiles and claps mason on the shoulder, says thanks and that he’ll have it later. melissa accepts the container and is delighted that it’s not only edible but actually quite delicious.

"you don’t have to bring me dinner every week, you know," she says after the third wednesday night, the eighth night overall that mason’s dropped by with a container of food still warm from the stove.

"i know," he smiles, not making eye contact as they settle on the bench near the janitor’s closet. "just thought you could do with a healthy meal every once in a while."

melissa unwraps the fork and spoon mason always tucks into a napkin beside the rectangular, aluminum-wrapped tupperware container in the insulated lunch bag. when she tears away the foil and lifts the lid, steam rises from the serving of rice and chicken curry and steamed veggies. she side-eyes him, "at the hospital. where we definitely serve healthy meals."

"not according to nutrition facts dot org." then he adds belatedly at her raised brow, "i looked it up."

"well, whatever the reason… thank you. it’s nice to know that at least one of you boys won’t starve next year when you’re off to who-knows-where."

mason gives a timid shrug and tries to hide his widening smile. "corey can make sandwiches."

melissa brings a spoonful of rice to her mouth, tilts her head as if to say ‘fair’, before she swallows.

"liam…" mason squints over at one of the empty chairs on the other side of the lobby, bobs his head a few times . "liam has doordash. and ubereats."

melissa huffs a laugh around the food in her mouth.

mason finally meets her eyes and doesn’t hide his wide smile this time. he laughs with her. he thinks about scott and whether he’s managing to maintain a decent diet at UC Davis. their laughter peters out, and melissa looks like she might be wondering, too. or maybe she isn’t, and the oddly vulnerable look on her face is simply because here, in this moment, she’s happy to have someone sit with her while she eats. someone who doesn’t fill the silence with platitudes or demands for help. mason thinks he’s seen melissa at her most desperate— and he’s decided he likes her better when she’s not trying to remind scott he has to be brave. he likes her better when she’s not trying to get her son to internalise the oath she took at 23. mason loves hearing about how she decided to become a nurse, but he likes her so much more when she’s just here: smiling to herself while she scarfs down a meal that’s maybe too hot from the over-insulation, but that she never fails to praise. mason likes her so much better when she listens to him list all the recipes he wants to try, and looks him straight in the eyes when she says he should do it for a living. he even likes her when she threatens him never to drop by after 11pm, after that one night he stayed over at corey’s late and got to the hospital even later. mason never wants melissa to look that desperate again— and maybe he also doesn’t want her to remind scott to be brave. he doesn’t think it’s his place to say, because he still nods, "yes, mom," when his own mother reminds him he has to respect himself enough to try, even when he’s not sure what may come of his efforts, and that he has to respect his family enough to be good. to himself, to others. perspective is a hell of a thing. but he’s sure that one day she’ll realise that all she ever has to be is present. for her patients and her son. all scott ever has to be is present. for himself and his friends. neither of them has to take on the world. and neither of them should worry about what the world may think if their burdens are only feather-light. if their circles of control and their circles of concern are incongruent. mason maybe wants to believe that if melissa can let go of that load— to be a pillar, to pass her life in purity. then maybe mason can too.

seeing the bots evolve in shallow imitation of actual tumblr usernames annoying as hell but also increasingly hilarious

yes, tumblr user cheerybestiality8, i’m sure no one will spot you with that clever url…….

Thisng that are being manifested : kaname changes state (preferably wakes up and maybe joins the cast) during the graduation events very quickly followed by himeru fs2 as they scramble to gather an understanding of themself to project outside of their self imposed role of HiMERU

not to be a pain-crazed wild animal. i KNOW i do this every time. but p*riods are so fucking crazy. like my cr*mps are so bad my body is trying to strangle itself but im awake and i need to be at work in 2 hrs and get thru an entire 9 hr workday as if im not in excruciating pain and im gonna bring my heating pad and my p*in r*lief cr*am if you catch my drift (💀) and i’ll need to use them DURING a busy day in which i will not see any other ppl who get periods in person and using them is gonna be a whole awkward thing. like omg. this is not fucking normal lol

a question. does anybody remember when rand started entertaining the idea of killing the dark one?

Imagine how cool it would be if Deerling and Sawsbuck changed typing depending on the seasons...
