I've seen some people surprised that Kit feels murderous toward Tails in the newest issue, but honestly? I really think this tracks. Setting aside his original programming to kill Tails, let's look at their relationship in chronological order, shall we?

As we know, they met in Eggperial City, where Kit tried to do his job and kill Tails. Tails quickly set to work on talking Kit down, which he did mostly successfully (mostly, because it all went to pot the instant Tails suggested they find Sonic). The thing is, if he has taken the time to look back on it (and I'm sure he has for reasons I'll get to), I don't think Kit sees Tails as really being kind in retrospect. I think he sees Tails as having manipulated him.

And the thing is: he's right.

Look at Tails's smirk after Kit shows surprise that Tails likes his gear. That's a got him smirk if I've ever seen one. Tails has clued into a vulnerability of Kit's that he can use to his advantage.

He further tries to draw similarities between them ("I'm different too and people didn't like that either") and asks leading questions ("you don't get support huh?") to get the result he wants. We have further confirmation that this is deliberate manipulation on Tails's part by his internal monologue about Kit's emotional instability.

Now, none of this is to say Tails is a bad person. Kit was genuinely trying to murder him and Tails was trying to de-escalate the situation to save his own life, without physically harming Kit if possible. As funny as memes about Tails murdering the Kukku Army are, generally he tries to avoid hurting others if he can. He's a nice boy.

But what happened after this?

Well, more specifically: Tails mentioned wanting to find Sonic for help, Kit attacked again, Tails knocked Kit out, and then after Kit comes to and they all leave the city . . .

. . . he's told that Surge died.

Surge was his one reason for living thanks to Starline's programming, and she died while Kit was unconscious because Kit fell for Tails's manipulation and then was overpowered. We don't get a look inside his head during the time when he believes Surge has died, but there is a strong possibility that he blamed himself, because if he had drowned Tails right away like he was supposed to, he could have gone to help Surge. But he didn't, so he couldn't, so she's dead. That's mostly on him, but he could easily resent Tails for it, too.

And speaking of resentment:

Kit finds out Surge is alive, and of course his first instinct is to think Sonic lied so that he could kill Surge off for good. So he goes to get revenge, only to be blocked by Tails. And that's when we get that gem of a line: "Why would you bother with me? You already have him."

Remember that, when he thought Surge was dead, he figured he could be used by Sonic instead:

But while he of course doesn't want to serve Sonic now, he has also realized that if Surge HAD actually died, Sonic would still have no use for him, because Sonic already has Tails. Tails, who can break his water tails easily. Tails, who easily manipulated him in Eggperial City. Tails, who disabled his water pack and knocked him out.

So far, Tails has bested Kit at every turn, leaving Kit to feel inferior and worthless by comparison.

The next time they meet, it is a trap where Kit is again supposed to kill Tails. And once more Tails is able to manipulate Kit into temporarily backing down:

Tails thinks Kit has gone back to being, if not friendly, then reasonable. But he hasn't. Kit stops specifically when Tails says Surge is hurting herself, because he doesn't want Surge to be hurt. And I think Tails knows that, and that's why he said it. But Kit also knows that he is being manipulated here, and his silence is him watching for his opportunity. Such as here:

Peep Kit in the second panel. He watches as Tails dives after Sonic. Had Tails hit the water, he would have been fried right along Sonic. But did Kit care? No. He watched. Surge could have easily killed Tails just as she (temporarily) killed Sonic, and Kit would not have cared at all, because at this point he does not see Tails as a friend: he sees him as a manipulative enemy.

This is further cemented by what he says and does at the end of the issue.

He uses his water tails to grab Tails and move him out of the way in the very same way that he does to Sonic. And he says, "I'll bury you all here." All, including Tails. While the focus is put on Sonic's anger because he is the main character, that doesn't change the fact that he is including Tails when he says that he will bury them all. He sees Tails as no different from Sonic, Starline, or Eggman. Tails manipulated and used him, just as the rest did. He just pretended to be nice while he did it.

So when he finally comes back in this most recent issue, it comes as no surprise to me that this is his attitude:

His history with Tails is extremely personal, and not in a good way. It can be easy to miss because most of the focus on Kit has been on his codependent relationship with Surge, and he hasn't openly voiced how he feels about Tails until this particular issue. But when you piece together every step of their relationship (Tails manipulating him, Tails overpowering him, Kit saying Sonic has no use for him because he has Tails), it paints a very clear picture that Kit feels every bit as suffering in Tails's shadow as Surge does in Sonic's. The only reasons why Kit isn't more proactive about it is because of his programming as a support figure. Supporting Surge comes before all else, so if Surge is hurting herself it's best to hang back. And if Surge doesn't want to go after the Restoration because it's a losing battle with just the two of them, then he needs to follow her lead.

But those feelings of resentment are still boiling under his surface. And now that he has the opportunity to unleash them, he won't miss the chance to strike.

I've had this ever-looming headcanon for months now that the reason Kit seems so grumpy/unhappy at the Restoration is because he's homesick. He wishes he was still at Starline's base despite its horrific state because that's the only supposed home he's had for the entire life he can remember.

*How the Restoration members play Helldivers 2*

Lanolin: The Shot Caller and min-maxer extraordinar. But when people deviate from the plan she tilts harder than a league of legends player losing their promos.

Tangle: Having the most fun. Pulls off some seriously clutch plays but dies a lot from not noticing enemies.

Whisper: Absolute crackshot but spends most games trying to keep Tangle from using up all their reinforce budget.

Jewel: Always brings jump pack and doesn't like fighting terminids for reasons I hope are obvious.

Amy: Likes topping people off with ammo and supporting people with the Stalwart. Immensely frustrated there are no melee weapons.

Surge: Runs off alone and either dies immediately and slinks back to the rest of the team humiliated or clears half the map by herself. There is no in between.

Kit: Permabanned from hacking the servers so he could get more super rare samples.

Belle: Frighteningly good at the game. Weapon of choice is the Slugger shotgun. Dies exclusively from happenstance.

Duo/Mimic: Drops airstrikes on Whisper at the funniest opportunities, then claims it's an accident.

Unguarded, I surrender to a softer side

I loved you, I'll love you 'til the end of time

Kiss me, hold tight

I'll nevеr let you out of my sight. 🎶

Omg..... I combined my heaviest comforter with my heaviest blanket and basically together they made up a real heavy cover much like a weighted blanket.... And it's actually fucking insane because I now keep falling asleep INSTANTLY. As someone who usually takes a looooot of time to fall asleep, this is just. Crazy beyond words. Case in point, almost slept through my fucking shift tonight. I didn't even fucking mean to fall asleep, not even a fucking nap. I just did.

#I mean sure I was laying down because I wanted to restore my energy before work #But i was like oh I don't feel like sleeping I think I've had enough I might just watch some mad men :)#Then fucking BAM fucking UNCONSCIOUS.#pogaduchy #And to reassure you while I cannot exclude a possibility that I am currently like low on some vitamins or sth #I chose to sleep like this only this past Saturday and the change in my sleep happened instantly #So it can't be a side effect of being like idk.... Anemic or whatever makes people all sleepy

Meet the troublemaker, Oakley The Opossum! Rib lover, rascal, dum little man!

Patch has to deal with him doin' trouble for Eggman and provoking attacks...They aren't friends...but Oakley loves to think of them as besties because how many times Patch has saved him and they have fought together!

Patch just thinks of him as a silly little guy who doesn't know how to get himself outta trouble, reminds him of some speedy cocky 'hog running around doin' the same. Always havin' to clean up after their messes! Either way, he likes Oakley the same, he's nice maybe a bit more crazy than expected but he's pretty nice and kind!

#okay-ish to think as ship but i'd rather not #especially not alloro #sonic oc #sonic fan oc #sonic forces #sth #my art #patch the painted dog #oakley the opossum #patch takes his place in the resistance/restoration very srly #he is jewels right hand in the restoration. anything she needs he can get it done!#just as he was amy's right hand. he reeeeaaally doesn't want to be a high high leader but he likes being a leader #meanwhile oakley is rlly just a silly little guy! trying his best to get into adventure

Thought of a way I can introduce Team Hooligan into my AU

Some background: Clutch and many other dormant criminal organizations sensed weakness in Eggman after Starline nearly usurped him. So now there is a brewing gang war on the horizon.

Team Hooligan while on a simple heist get caught in the middle of a skirmish between Clutch’s forces and another criminal organization. Team Hooligan barely gets out of their alive. Injured enough that Bark, the only one not fully incapacitated, takes his teammates to the Restoration for help. There they relay their story and the close encounter they had with a deadly new foe (an OC of mine I have yet to reveal)
