Whoops I Meant To Put This In The Last Post

He'll figure it out

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERONE!! MORE ART COMING SOON!!

You started a scam religion for a quick buck. You begin to panic when your fake god was actually a real forgotten one awakened from new worshippers, declared you it's high priest, and granted you the power of healing.

Ultimate besties!!! I wanna see Shadow and Tails getting along more they're too cute 😭

Thinking about Techno who works in a mermaid research/rehab facility and the three mermaids who are super attached to him.

Techno is not a marine biologist. He's a college student who picked up a janitor job at the place for some extra cash. He's only supposed to clean the walkways and maybe feed the mers by throwing fish in the tank occasionally. But somehow, he ends up with three mers who have taken a liking to him and the scientists don't bother discouraging the bonding since it makes them easier to handle.

Phil is an adult arctic mer. He is friendly enough, but very solitary and reserved - like most arctic mers are. They're prone to hiding. Techno is the only one who can reliably lure Phil out. Phil refuses to show himself when Techno isn't around. Catching him against his will would be stressful and could potentially harm him or the humans involved in the project, so the scientists see only upsides to encouraging Phil's apparent bonding with Techno. Even if Techno is around, Phil will not let any human except Techno touch him, so the scientists sometimes have to guide Techno through what he has to do when they need to do checkups and such.

Wilbur is extremely hostile, and will often attack anybody who comes close to him, his pod, or even his perceived territory. He's of indeterminate species, looks like a deep sea mer but seems to not need to live on the bottom of the ocean, so rather peculiar and his health is very weird. He's very dangerous though, and same as Phil he will not let himself be touched or lured by anybody except Techno for some reason.

Lastly, there's Tommy, a tropic mer. He's actually extremely friendly with humans! Maybe a little too friendly. He has injured and (almost) drowned several people working at the facility because he plays very roughly and is always so eager. He's younger than the other two, not having reached adulthood by mer standards. He's like a happy little puppy except a puppy that is very prone to mischief and doesn't know his own strength. Techno is - again, for some reason - the only human he seems to listen to. Tommy does not care when any other human says "stop" or gives an indication he's hurting them. He doesn't always listen to Techno when he says "stop" but does seem to care when he's hurting Techno. So there's that.

The trio forms a pod - traditionally, species is determined by where a mer is hatched, but they can live anywhere after. Most mer form a pod with other mers of the same species and don't leave the area they're born, but Phil, Wilbur, and Tommy all individually happen to get kicked out or lose their birth pods for whatever reason, ending up together in a strange three-person pod. It's a scientific oddity, which makes them so interesting to study.

They're not going to be happy being locked up forever though. Eventually, they'll get sick of the tank.

And who knows, maybe they'll take their favorite human with them when they leave :3c

coffee run happened at a goofy time.

FUNNY: baby tails canonically calling sonic his mom

HEARTBREAKING: his reasoning -- "a mother is someone who cares about you, therefore sonic is my mother" -- implies that either he didn't have a mother, or she was neglectful/abusive enough that tails concluded she doesn't meet the requirements of what a "mother" is supposed to be. in that case its implied that NO one has cared for him before sonic

FUNNY AGAIN: despite tails calling sonic "mother" to his FACE, sonic didn't refute it whatsoever. boymom the hedgehog

HEARTBREAKING AGAIN: implying that sonic doesn't seem to know what a mother is either

Till death do us part? Yea no you’re not getting out of this that easily

team sonic and team dark end up on the same place for different missions, everyone gets separated and tails and shadow end up together. shadow threatens the bad guys with his handgun and tails gives him the most disappointed 8 yo look he can muster and goes, "really? can that toy even harm a chao??" to which shadow replies, "you got any better ideas fox boy?" and tails just pulls out a really bright yellow n cyan coloured missile launcher twice his size out of nowhere and says, "yea."

one of the genuinely most important things about c!techno is his relationship to violence.

because when he says 'violence is the only universal language', he means that violence is what people understand. that he's been shown over and over that violence is what people listen to. he's experienced it firsthand. he doesn't seem to revel in it, it's more like he's resigned to it as a fact.

and on doomsday, it's violence that gets him the 'win'. he succeeds! his goal of destroying the government and making certain there will never be another is complete.

but instead of taking this as proof that violence is the only way, techno still wants to change. he admits to being a bad example and wanting to do better going forward. it's such a great moment showing that techno's desire to change came from himself, not because he was unsuccessful in his goals.

The reason Technoblade would have smoked Dream at Manhunt is not because he was categorically the superior pvp player, though he was.

It's because he'd have pulled an mcc build mart. He'd have done the WORK.

Techno would have watched every single available Manhunt stream, put together the data on Dream's movements and preferred escape methods, noted the version they were playing, and then- he'd have let the other five do the work.

Just like that bit with Quackity, he'd have followed at a sedate pace. Maybe wandered off once or twice to mine and gather resources, all the while informing his chat that he had no idea if this stupid plan would work but it's what he's got.

And in the last two minutes, Technoblade would have swooped in, absolutely obliterated Dream, and killed the other five for good measure because the man had a brand.

Techno's real power was not in his click speed or typing proficiency. It was in an ability to- with or without preparation- see a possibility no one else did and charge towards it. Whether this was taking advantage of the game's mechanics or just close listening, his threat was always in his intelligence and a mad will to just give it a shot.
