Thinking about River and his "it's hard for me to talk about what's biting at my ass" line (during the Hunt) and then later (during Following the River) he opens up and tells V about his parents and if V interrupts him before he gets into more detail he responds with "heard sob stories enough?"
Do you ever just... think a bunch about characters like these? You know, the characters who are always the rock to lean on, the anchor, the source of safety and stability and calm? The ones who are so selfless and full of love and compassion, that might not always have their own needs met because they always put others first? And especially in a world like Night City, where everything is just so very fucked? Where something like this can definitely be taken advantage of?
And this is not to say that River is some doormat that others walk all over as they please, and all he does is smile and put a thumbs up. In River's case (and in general honestly) I do not think kindness should be mistaken for weakness.
He is not weak or boring or naive, not even for someone living in Night City. In fact, it's pretty damn brave to hold onto kindness and altruism like that especially considering the world he lives in and everything he's been through.
I think about the text he sends to V letting them know they can always talk to him. And then I think about the Sun ending, the Path of Glory, how there is the opportunity for V to tell River that he is their rock, their anchor.
And he smiles with content for a moment. But V is leaving.
V, the one who helped him find Randy, helped him put his life back together in a different, but more beautiful way. The one he could turn to in his time of need, the one to be like yes I will help you, and I do not expect anything in return. The one who listens when he opens up about his trauma. The one who refuses to accept his help, the one that says "you being here is enough."
V, the one he falls so hard and so quickly for.
V, the one that is dying, that he may never see again.
I don't know where I was going with this, but on a completely unrelated note, my heart feels like it has been shredded to a million pieces.

So, Sonic’s been kind of the driving force of Sonamy recently. Let’s analyze that.
I’ll show Sonic having feelings for Amy in almost every media aside from Fleetway and the few cartoons she isn’t in. I’ll also present the “whys” in more detail then just “Amy calmed down.” While that’s part of it, I’d like to add my own can of worms. And possible headcanons too. Bear in mind I never grew up with Sonic, so forgive my mixed opinions.
While I love Amy having a crush on Sonic like the energetic sugarplum she is, nowadays Sonic’s oddly been the drive of their dynamic. Any examples of it beforehand? Let’s look outside of the games first.
This Sonic takes more time to himself. He’s introverted, so his feelings for her isn’t displayed as obviously as the others. In fact, most people think he didn’t like her in this show because of how much he runs away. He even manipulated her by flirting in one episode. In my opinion this show has Sonic running away from Amy more often than not. Hot take: Sonic and Amy never had a real conversation either. They didn’t…talk like they do now. Unless you count,
“Oh, Sonic I love you!” “Ah! C’mon, Amy. Knock it off!” No, it wasn’t constant but still common.
From my point of view, the conversations were short lived to none existent. It was the same in the earlier games too. Compared to how they talked to other characters or now, you might be able to notice. At least until Sonic And The Black Night were he talks to both The Lady Of The Lake and Amy. The two would also have visual gags of Sonic getting aggressively hugged by Amy. Or Amy falling on her face while trying. Aside from one moment in Sonic Riders where Sonic put Amy in danger, it wasn’t good or bad. Just cartoony for lack of a better term.
Maybe I’m just insane. You decided.
Anyhow, their dynamic in X is clearly built on actions. Like Amy giving Sonic a seashell bracelet and Sonic giving her a rose. Those little things. While I do prefer them being able to hold longer conversations, I don’t mind how X handles them. But let’s get to Sonic’s crush. I assume in Sonic X Sonic is conflicted. He’ll run away from Amy or try to pull from her on most occasions and others Sonic would constantly hold onto her when he doesn’t have to. For a long period on time no less. Amy’s the same way. One moment she’d be head over heels and other she’s bashful. Goes to show how young they were I guess. I have no clue as to why Sonic liked her back because there wasn’t much to go off of. Except the bracelet moment or her general kindness like feeding him one time. She was a bit much to him and most characters back then.
It’s possible Sonic just liked her and that was it, but I’d imagine due to all of the hand holding and small reciprocated gestures were enough to convey something was there. Straight forward and simple like the show itself. I headcanon this Sonamy being where the boyfriend gets dragged into a relationship and is fine with it. This version of Sonic’s attraction seems to be chaotic pink hedgehogs apparently.
Should I even explain it? Might as well because not only do I have something different to say, but these two haven’t been brought up much. Sonic and Amy’s romance mostly is played for laughs. Not saying their love for each other means less because of that, but the humor is the main reason they exist. Much like why in the main canon they started out the way they did. Regardless, I’ll dive deeper into Boom!Sonic’s affection for Amy to the best of my ability.
Boom!Sonic is egotistical, so whenever he thinks Amy’s crushing on someone else, it bothers him. Apparently he’s the only one she’s allowed to like. No “Radical Speedsters” or “Celebrities” can take her attention away from him. Like in Sonic X he tries to keep his crush to a minimum. Even though both him and Amy are terrible at it.
The moment in “Fortress Of Squalitude” a episode where everyone is a bit rude to Amy, close to the end Sonic says, “We may have a hard time saying it Amy. But…well you know.” Then she responds with, “Yeah, I know.” It’s such a sweet moment. Not as powerful as most moments with them but for Boom it’s very nice. Sonic and the others still value her as part of the team, but it’s Sonic who expresses it out loud. Goes to show how much he cares about her for even attempting to open up in this instance. Didn’t even have to finish the sentence. Amy understood perfectly. I also noticed how much he tries his best to impress her. When he needs to return her book back, finds her hammer in Archie, (Vector did it in the show and Sonic got jealous) shows off randomly or dreams about her, and stopped racing to get her some eggs in one episode.
The funny thing about this Sonic is how much of a people pleaser he can be. Especially since the towns people are very spoiled and ungrateful. He wants to be needed and that’s possibly why he goes out of his way to do special things for Amy like go out on picnics, implied dates, and comforts her. She’s very take charge in Boom and Sonic has no problem calling her out when he needs to. Much like Amy in the show and games. Sonic will even put effort into doing things he doesn’t feel like doing for her. How honorable of him. Sure, sometimes he tries to make her jealous and isn’t perfect, but he tries. I believe Sonic likes Amy because again like Sonic X Boom isn’t canon, so more outright reciprocated feelings are allowed in this case. Not to mention the dude likes being shipped with her in the show. Which is a win in my book.
Sonic enjoys bugging Amy much like a playful boyfriend. He probably admires her leadership, but I’m saying this by observation. It could be for anything. Maybe he thinks she’s cute when she’s mad and finds her temper amusing. It could also be for her stubbornness. Some people like each other because of how much they can relate to their partner and in Sonic Boom’s case they’re two cuts of the same cloth. Although still different, due to the show’s theme, they carry the same condescending, slightly self centered, hotheaded, stubborn, and humorous traits. But they’re still good hedgehogs with a heart of gold and usually makes reasonable decisions. Not to mention they’re both equally shy about their crushes. In Sonic Boom, Sonic and Amy is that married couple who doesn’t get along much, but when they do you’ll understand why they stay together.
I haven’t read the comics (unless you count watching a few dubs and internet reviews) but I’ll give my limited thoughts. Luckily there’s not much to say. Although most people believe it was unintentional, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch that someone from Archie thought it was a fun idea to have Sonic crush on somone in this reboot. Maybe it’s unintentional but it doesn’t seem that way.
I’m basically using this part of the post to ramble about how Reboot Archie’s Sonic still manages to be a casanova. He’s like a mixture of his old self and how he is in the games. That’s also why he acts the way he does around Amy. Could it also possibly mean he’s meant to like her canonically too? Reboot Archie did have to follow a more accurate way of writing Sonic after all. Anyways, let’s run down the list of Game!Sonic if he was allowed to be down bad for Amy like they’re already dating. Which is how I view this continuity. It’s basically if Boom and X had a weird fusion and this version of Sonic’s crush was the result. Except here he manages to be more bold and upfront. He knows what he’s doing. Here’s a run down.
First of all, THIS. No joke, more of these interactions would send me to the moon. I would explain why but the panel speaks for itself.
Sonic says, “I was worried about you.” Which he hasn’t admitted to her before this to my knowledge. He states this by giving her a side hug. Along with other out of nowhere physical affection and flirting. Not to single out Sonally fans. Sonic and Sally clearly have a close connection people appreciate and I respect that. In any case, Sonic and Amy in Reboot Archie also matches energies so much. They’re both clearly running off the same brain cell. You’d think they were together. They’d be a chaotic couple that’ll do the most outlandish things and somehow manage to survive them. After willfully risking their lives they’d do it again because being normal and safe is boring. I promise you, this version of Sonamy would be a huge force to be reckoned with.
-I’d also like to mention my friend Salty showed an example of Sonic being jealous of Knuckles coming with Amy on a mission and it’s brilliant. Dude gets all bratty about it too. Archie!Sonic does not play around. The post in question.
Already talked about this in another post, but I want to mention it again. Prime!Sonic is the most sensitive version of the character, so it’s no surprise he displays his admiration for Amy freely and out loud.
This moment says enough on its own. Sonic’s like this throughout the entirety of Prime and even changes the tone of his voice when speaking to or about her. It’s so authentic and adorable and makes him stand out against other variants.
Amy’s crush on Sonic in Prime is up to interpretation, but I don’t think she likes him in that way personally. Like other characters, Amy tends to be done with Sonic’s childishness. Guess she thinks he’s probably too immature to be boyfriend material whether she has feelings or not. Sonic on the other hand, acts how you wouldn’t expect. I personally see him as his own interpretation, so I’m fine with it. If he wants to have goo-goo eyes for Amy in Prime, it’s cool.
Prime!Sonic has it bad and I wouldn’t be shocked if he’d be the one wanting to go out on dates. Maybe he’d cook dinner for her sense he cooks in the show. I’d imagine Amy declining at first, but does it after his constant begging. They’d be swapped version of most emotional to least emotional. Prime!Amy would be a girlfriend who feels more like a parent than a partner.
No one can bring up Sonic Unleashed without the lovely Amy meeting the Werehog scene. I love how Sonic didn’t like Amy hugging him, but right after she left he solemnly mopes around for probably the first and last time. He’s never in any game slowly moped around disappointedly before. Proving he only has certain reactions when it comes to Amy Rose. At least in some continuities. Unleashed gives you a choice to go on a date with Amy or not. Then the next game Sonic Team followed through with it, but ended up having Amy mad at Sonic for missing it. At least Sonic tried. Not to mention his reaction to The Lady Of The Lake and him flirting is fun to watch.
See how Sonic still likes her back but it isn’t because she’s “calmed down?” She’s still the same excitable love strucked Amy. There must be something more to it. Other than the obvious answer with Sonic Team wanting to do something with the pear. I have no idea why but having multiple hints even in the past must’ve been done for the fun of it. “We created this love interest but then railed back to Sonic not reciprocating her feeling. But we still want to market them as a couple in some way.” This franchise never cease to confuse me.
Amy encouraging Sonic in one of the cutscenes could’ve been where he started liking her back. Not in the way he does now, but he admired her none stop compassion and might’ve wanted to return the favor. “Eh, she’s sweet. Maybe a date won’t be so bad.” The fact he went out of his way to get her a chilidog and flirted with a different version of her should tell you enough. Of course it would take a while before anything else happened. 
Yeah, after issue 2, Sonic’s never felt the need to run from Amy. From the comics to Sonic Frontiers there’s a lot of moments of Sonic being somewhat emotionally candid. Not by much, but close. I believe Amy’s the reason for that in a way. Sonic’s not afraid to hang out with her anymore. He even hugs her back on some occasions. “Ames” was a nickname from fanfics and Boom which became canon over time and he occasionally calls her that.
Sonic wishes to share an umbrella and spend more time with her. He also gets excited to see her more often. It’s like Reboot Archie but slightly toned down. At least up until the hard to trigger lines from Sonic Frontiers. The same game where he outright admits to being worried about Amy and smiles back at her with a Coco looking between the two. Then he supports Amy’s decision to leave etc. We all know where we are now.
Crazy how the more you look into this franchise the more tiny details you notice. It’s also crazy how much Sonic’s been into the love interest he originally was already supposed to love. To me, Sonic had a crush on Amy in Unleashed but fell in love with her in IDW. What makes Sonamy gripping though is how unique it is compared to most romantic relationships. Leaves it to be more entertaining whenever something unexpected happenes. It keeps you engaged.
1. Amy doesn’t want to slow him down. Obviously because of IDW issue 2’s love confession with Amy saying “I can’t change you. I don’t want to change you.” Amy joins Sonic and he includes her more often because of that. His speed is no match for her persistence anyways.
2. She shows compassion and love for those around her. Not just to Sonic, but everyone. She’s the definition of soft hearted. Even for people Sonic and his friends would be weary about. Think about now in the recent comics and games where Sonic’s trying it out. I do think it should be more of Amy’s thing then Sonic’s but it just goes to show how much she probably inspired him. Who knows? Even in the past he had respect Amy for her tenderheartedness.
3. Amy’s energy matches Sonic’s. Though sometimes she can be overly enthusiastic compared to him. Even before now, Amy’s always been adventurous and that’s probably something Sonic liked from the start. Not in a romantic way, but in a respectful way. If he were to have a partner he’d need someone to keep him grounded and be on the same level. No exceptions.
4. Her loyalty. No matter what Sonic does (including times she disagrees) she’s one of Sonic’s most loyalist companions. Obviously other characters are too, but Amy has her being a long time childhood friend/Sonic 06 and Unleashed going for her. 06 for trusting Sonic over Silver and Unleashed for still loving Sonic despite his transformation. Heck, before she knew who the Werehog was she wasn’t disgusted. Amy’s commendable for that.
From all these points here physical attraction isn’t included. What I like about both characters is their crushes don’t stem to how they look. Though it is worth mentioning Sonic has called Amy “Radiant” in TMOSTH, but that’s probably the closest we’ll ever get to an outright physical compliment. From Sonic at least.
- Side note thanks to @saltynsassy31 again, Sonic and Amy’s dynamic can be summed up as not a relationship but rather a situationship. Yes, it’s a real word. What does it mean? Basically two friends who has crushes on each other but doesn’t do anything about it. Just a fun detail for you guys.
I’ll make this quick, but the reason Sonic ran from Amy wasn’t because he didn’t like her. On the contrary. Sonic always could’ve ran at his normal speed to get away from her. Sonic’s the fastest thing alive. Why would he let someone he “didn’t like” catch up to him? I personally think he enjoyed the thrill of the chase. It’s why I believe he misses it nowadays. Though I do understand Sonic didn’t often treat Amy like a friend. Not in a way I can understand at least. Not that I think their relationship was bad, but from what I’ve seen, it was more told then shown due to Sonic and the gang not including her on missions. Amy normally had to catch up with them which was a running gag. Especially in SA2. It might be why some prefere her in stuff like Reboot Archie, Boom, IDW, and Frontiers. Because Amy’s friends includes her on adventures now. At least in my opinion. Correct me if I missed anything.
Since Sonic in the games has been the one to push the Sonic side of Sonamy much more then Amy does for herself, I’d like to think in most cases (especially as their dynamic grows) Sonic would start carrying other versions of him traits like trying to mess with her.
He’d want to get her to chase him more often and Amy would probably ask once or twice, “What’s going on and why are you acting weird?” He’d definitely play it off as him fooling around. Sonic doesn’t know much about romance, but he does know what Amy likes. Maybe he’d ask her out or go on a bunch of traveling missions. Anything to get her to pay attention to him again. After all, there’s been examples of the guy feeling ignored by her in and out of canon. It’s possible.
-There’s also a consistent detail where Sonic’s finally ready to open up but has to deal with Amy doing her own thing. Or when he’s face with different variants of her, he’s flirtatious with them. For the fastest thing alive, he has terrible timing when it comes to making his mind up.
Welp, there you have it, darlings. Examples of Sonic crushing on Amy more than some would think. It’s a Sonic character analysis and Sonamy post all in one. I know there’s more, but I think this gathers examples from the actual content.
Stay Creative! 💜
• One thing Sonic honestly fears is being alone; the smaller animals can’t really talk so he was left without friends for a while. He’s very grateful to have met Tails.
• As Sonic grows older, his quills get darker. When he was born they were more like a sky blue, but now they are close to an indigo shade.
• He puts a lot of soft gel and/or conditioner in this quills to both keep them steady while he’s running and so others won’t get hurt when they hug him.
• If Amy doesn’t go overboard with her crush on him, Sonic might gain neutral feelings for her too; if only she could take it slow at times (how ironic).
• The first time he ever ate a chilli dog was - as Sonic himself described it - ‘As if it had more positive energy than the Chaos Emeralds have’.
• Despite being close friends now, Sonic still likes to tease Knuckles every so often. The echidna is aware that it’s in a friendly way, so he tries to make mild comebacks.
• Running at high speeds is fun, but his favourite thing to do is skateboarding. That explains why he does it a lot on his adventures.
• Sonic wants to be a positive influence to everyone so he does not cry in public. However, when alone, he lets out a few healthy tears. Like when Shadow ‘died’ or how he’ll be long gone when Chip wakes up.

Sono ormai tre anni che questa trilogia War for Cybertron è una vera e propria rimpatriata G1, alla quale anche i Beast Wars/Biocombat si sono autoinvitati con la scusa di festeggiare il loro venticinquesimo compleanno. E nel “minestrone” della terza parte KINGDOM può addirittura capitare di incapparsi in personaggi che non c’entrano nulla col cartone animato Netflix ma che comunque hanno fatto la storia dei TF G1 come Inferno, Huffer, i ripescati dal film del 1986 Cyclonus e Galvatron... e persino questo TRACKS, famosissimo guerriero/detective Autobot un po’ modaiolo e un po’ Narciso, protagonista delle memorabili puntate Sulle tracce di Tracks e Auto-Rock della Stagione 2. Nonostante la popolarità, di lui abbiamo avuto solo un’altra comparsata in animazione (Stagione 3 Animated, in forma Cybertroniana), così come pochissimi modellini prima del WFC, a parte il modellino originale del 1985: si conta l’Alternator, ma anche il Generations del 2010 che però era un remold di Wheeljack, per poi passare al rispettabilissimo Masterpiece del 2014 reso famigerato per lo zaino fin troppo vuoto. E il KINGDOM Deluxe che stringo tra le mani sarà forse all’altezza del predecessore?
Innanzitutto, come da tradizione, l’altmode del nostro Puma è una CHEVROLET C3 CORVETTE STINGRAY, automobile che più Anni 80 non si può: bellissima, elegante, slanciata e riconoscibile dal cofano lungo. Oddio, non è esattamente una riproduzione dell’auto reale – per quello esiste il Masterpiece, comunque – ma come appare nel settei del cartone animato originale, ovvero semi-realistica e col simbolo Autobot sul cofano racchiuso in uno “scudo” rosso uniforme che dovrebbe imitare il motivo fiammeggiante giallo e rosso tipico del giocattolo G1. Inoltre, qui di simboli Autobot ce n’è uno solo, quello del cofano appunto, e si è evitato di riproporlo anche sul tettuccio in quanto questo costituirà lo zaino del robot. Il Masterpiece invece risolveva in parte questo inconveniente nascondendo il suddetto simbolo con un pannellino a scomparsa perché l’intero abitacolo formava il busto di Tracks.
Per quanto riguarda la colorazione, in generale è un tripudio di un bel blu brillante, tranne nella plastica trasparente celeste dei vetri (lunotto, parabrezza e finestrini), nel nero delle ruote e del radiatore frontale e nell’argento dei cerchioni; a parte quello non si vedono ulteriori dettagli dipinti eccetto nelle due righe bianche sul retro... che in realtà, come vedremo, sono i timoni della Modalità Volo di Tracks, e mi dispiace che siano sì nascoste e a filo con la carrozzeria ma antiestetiche, mentre nel Masterpiece erano sottili come carta e non rovinavano le linee del modellino. E a proposito del retro, anche qui nessuna traccia di colore nei fari o nella targa, ma volendo il perno metallico sul fondo potrebbe essere scambiato per una terza marmitta dell’auto o il propulsore della modalità volante.
Trattandosi di WFC, Tracks si presenta con almeno tre/quattro porte per le armi: due sul retro e due all’altezza dei parafanghi anteriori. Qui è possibile innestare l’iconicissimo doppio lanciamissili, purtroppo completamente bianco e non con la base nera e adesivi annessi come in passato, e a sua volta presenta un foro in cima, quindi si può riporre lì anche la pistola di Tracks – il cui design è una via di mezzo tra il G1 e il Masterpiece, ovvero nera come il giocattolo ma sputata al settei. E sempre di Masterpiece si parla guardando il disguise da dieci e lode, poiché effettivamente non vi è alcuna traccia del robot neanche se lo si guarda da sotto... caso più unico che raro in modelli di questa linea! 😍
Ovviamente Tracks non sarebbe quel Tracks senza la sua celeberrima MODALITÀ VOLO, che consiste nel sollevare i timoni bianchi dal retro dell’auto, sganciare le portiere ed estrarre i moduli prima in fuori e poi paralleli ai fianchi, avendo cura di separarli dalle ali e di ruotarli di 90° (quindi con la decorazione gialla e rossa verso l’alto). In questa forma il nostro guadagna altre due porte per le armi – essendo le future braccia del robot – e l’estetica in sé è una fotocopia del Masterpiece, che a sua volta ricalca il settei. L’unico neo, parafrasando il mio collega @jazzluca, “di tutto questo ben di Primus” sono i timoni e le ali non dipinti: cioè, è troppo chiedere qualche dettaglio colorato in più per richiamare gli adesivi del G1 o, al limite, i dettagli stilizzati visti nel cartone? E non sarebbe stato un crimine, come nel Masterpiece, aggiungere dei perni per assicurare le braccia/prese d’aria ai fianchi dell’auto invece di lasciarle “penzoloni”? 😒
Vabbè... passiamo ora alla TRASFORMAZIONE, che di fatto è un copia-incolla semplificato di quella del Masterpiece. Partendo già dalla Modalità Volo, le braccia sono praticamente belle che fatte – basta solo ritrarre i timoni, ruotare in fuori le mani e portare in su le ali. Ora sganciamo i parafanghi anteriori per avere più gioco nella separazione del cofano, quindi solleviamo e ripieghiamo su se stesso l’intero blocco della cappotte, ruotiamo il tutto di 180° e agganciamolo sulla schiena. Apriamo gli stinchi e ruotiamo di 180° i piedi e i parafanghi stando attenti a non incastrarci nel bacino, quindi distendiamo le gambe e – una volta aggiustati i piedi – assicuriamo i pannelli tramite un mini-perno dietro al ginocchio. Ruotiamo il busto di 180° e slittiamo in avanti il finto petto del robot; per concludere, collassiamo il tutto via doppio perno e blocchiamo le metà superiore e inferiore tramite una clip e un perno sull’“ombelico”.
Come ROBOT Tracks, è proprio il caso di dirlo, è un piccolo capolavoro. Sputato al Masterpiece di sette anni fa con le tecnologie attuali e nella taglia di un Deluxe che è in scala con tutti i suoi colleghi WFC – tanto per essere pignoli, è alto un pelo in più dei Fratelli Lamborghini Sideswipe e Sunstreaker ma allo stesso tempo rispetto a un Optimus Prime Tracks arriva almeno sotto i pettorali. Non si tratta di un errore, anzi: il fatto di essere alto e magro rientra nei canoni del personaggio, e anche in questo caso Hasbro ha pensato bene di fare affidamento alla scala ufficiale dell’85 – quindi, direi che siamo nella media. E a proposito di settei, Puma qui sembra effettivamente uscito dal cartone animato con la tipica livrea blu-grigio/nero-bianco e la testa col casco bianco e il volto rosso fuoco, ma ha la licenza poetica dei piedi neri, mentre invece sappiamo bene che sono bicromatici grigio e blu. Inoltre, presenta dettagli scolpiti degni del G1 classico ma non colorati (come le ginocchia, i piedi o le ali, per esempio); viceversa quelli degli adesivi sui guanti e sulla cintura sono ridotti ai minimi termini; nulla da obiettare sul classico riquadro giallo col simbolo Autobot rosso sul petto, comunque! 😅
Non noto alcun difetto estetico grave, a parte il solito vuoto dello zaino... che, per carità, è già di suo abbastanza compatto e schiacciato, quindi non dà neanche tanto fastidio. Può semmai storcere il naso quello delle caviglie e delle braccia, ma ancora una volta sono difetti “funzionali”: nel primo caso, il piede non avrebbe abbastanza spazio per la trasformazione delle gambe nel cofano dell’auto; nel secondo è una caratteristica comune di molti Deluxe WFC, perché in quella cavità vanno riposte le mani durante la trasformazione. Per quanto riguarda la posabilità, il nostro può benissimo essere spacciato per un’action figure: degni di nota in tal senso, infatti, i balljoint su collo e caviglie, perni a braccia, gomiti, gambe e ginocchia (questi ultimi due possono piegare in avanti sollevando un poco il gonnellino) e, come ciliegina sulla torta, la rotazione del bacino.
E come spesso accade con questi Bot, anche Puma è tutto “bucherellato” per via delle numerose porte per armi. Dando per scontato i soliti fori alle mani, già abbiamo visto quelli sui guanti, sulla schiena e sulle gambe/parafanghi, ma dobbiamo pure menzionare anche quelli presenti su ciascuna spalla, in modo che la pistola possa essere brandita come un cannone à la Sideswipe o Wheeljack, e anche quelli immancabili sotto i piedi. Oh, e anche il foro sul cappuccio in cima alla testa, ove installare il doppio lanciamissili come vuole l’iconografia classica del personaggio.
Tornando alla domanda iniziale... sì, questo è sicuramente il meglio che Hasbro ha tirato fuori per Tracks, dopo il bel Masterpiece e l’umile Generations 2010, e ancora una volta i fan delle auto “stilose” come questa saranno sicuramente contenti di portare a casa una versione moderna della bella Corvette tanto da guardare quanto da maneggiare, con pregi che sovrastano sui difetti. Ebbene sì: il buon vecchio Puma è tornato in città, e anche stavolta ha spaccato l’obiettivo col suo stile elegante e impeccabile! 😍
Fluff for my man Genji ❤️❤️❤️
(This is post Blackwatch Genji, bc I've written fluff for that Genji twice man)
For someone so badass, he can also be kind of needy
Genji is kind of like a cat, where he'll just get extra close to you and when you run your hands through his hair, the whirring of the machinery in his body makes a purr sound
So, he's basically cybernetic cat ninja?
Very cuddly, though it will take some reassuring since he thinks his body isn't viable for affection since it is mostly made from carbon fiber.
He is very wrong, it's smooth and glossy and can heat up or cool down which let me tell you now anon is super nice.
Genji, while he won't admit it, is still a gamer at heart.
Gaming nights where he'll sit on the floor with you in his lap
He used to play competitively in arcades, but he found that with you he prefers to play games where you two works as a team or just enjoy each other's company
If you don't play games, he'd still like you to join him and watch as he plays a story-based game like Witcher 3 or Dragon age
He enjoys music A LOT
You took Lucio's suggestion and asked Genji to hook up his suit to change color to the beat of the music
He loves nothing more than to goof around doing silly dance moves with his RGB suit going off
We all know, no matter how much you love Genji, he can't dance for shit. His dance emote says it all.
If it's movie night? You know he cries his ass off at Titanic
He can't sing either, but he'll clear the feels out of the air by singing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"
It's horribly out of tune, but also just utterly charming that Genji's even trying.
As a nighttime routine, he has to plug himself in to a massive industrial charger on his side of the bed forcing him to lay on his back. (Not without giving you goodnight hugs and kisses)
While Genji can't move, you however, still can.
You can lay on his chest or hold his hand, his body heating up the bed and if you fear the dark, he's a ninja nightlight to chase the shadows.
A/N: While I hate playing against him, he is cute to write.
Thin Line (part 1)
(Image not mine, I got it off pinterest)
(But this is mine)
Summary: It's the anniversary of Cayde's death and Chloe remembers a song he had sang for her.
Warnings: angst, fluff, mentions of character death, and country music
A/N: This song is one of my favorites and wanted to do a sorta song fic for Cayde.
-----------------------------------‐--------------‐
Chloe sat on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest, chin resting atop them. She felt sorrow and sadness wash over her. The Huntress couldn't help but let the tears flow as they came down like rain fall and mournful sobs left her mouth.
....It had been 2 years....
...2 years, too many...
She counted the days that she hasn't been held by the man she fell in love with. She counted the hours in which she hasn't heard his voice whisper sweet nothings in her ear. She counted the minutes that she hasn't seen him do something selfless for those he cared about. And she counted seconds since he died in her arms in the Prison of Elders.
Cayde.
Even after taking her revenge on Uldren, she thought it would hurt less, she thought the pain would go away, maybe even bring Cayde back. But boy was she wrong. The pain was still there, and it hurt like a bitch. Moondance, her ghost, tried everything to even get the smallest sign of happiness from his guardian, but nothing really seemed to work for long especially on the day Cayde passed.
All Chloe wanted was to go back to the good old days where Cayde was still here. She cherished every moment they spent together, every conversation they had, every night she spent in his arms just in content silence, and every song country song he'd sing to her.
Her favorite memory with him was when sung a country song to her. The song was before the golden age and before the collapse. And it was one of her favorites.
<flashback>
"So, I was looking through your Playlist the other day," Cayde started, holding the acoustic guitar Chloe had gotten him as a dawning gift.
"Were you, why?" She asked, sitting on his couch with him.
"Because I found a song on it that wanted to learn on the guitar and sing to you," The Exo replied, stunging a few chords on the string instrument in his hands.
Chloe smiled and prompted him to go ahead and start. She watched as Cayde's fingers strummed and danced across the strings and frets of the guitar. The song he sang was by Thomas Rhett and it was one of her favorites.
"I may be six feet deep, but I'll still be lovin' you
Baby, what we got won't ever die
Can't take diamonds, can't take gold," Cayde ended the song and put the guitar to the side, "I love you, Chloe Brask, and my love for you will never die."
Chloe smiled and leaned in to place a kiss on Cayde's mouth, "Same here, baby."
<End of Flashback>
He took his love for her to the grave with him. She still loved him too, she missed him terribly too. Moondance was hovering in front of her unsure of what to do. So, he just nudged her.
"Chloe, come on, let's go ger some raman and then go sit by his-"
"Please don't say it, let's just do it," The Huntress mumbled with a sniffle.
She got up and slipped on a jacket and a pair of sneakers. It was raining outside, so Chloe also grabbed an umbrella. She left her apartment and walked down to the raman shop in the Bazaar. She ordered Cayde's usual raman, now her usual raman. Spicy Beef Raman with an extra kick of Tabasco sauce.
Chloe arrived at the cemetery and walked over to where Cayde was buried. It was basically a golden stutue of him the Hunters (including herself) had put up for him. There was an assortment of offerings and gifts the guardians had left him, like weapons, glimmer, flowers, bowls of probably ruined raman, amungst other things Cayde would have liked.
With the umbrella protecting her from the rain Chloe sat down, not caring if the wet grass had gotten her shorts soaked.
"Hey, baby, it's me," She started, "it's been two long years without you and I just wanna say that I still am completely and unconditionally devoted to you."
Chloe bit back tears, running a hair through her blue hair, "I miss you so, so much. Sometimes I still hear you playing that guitar I got you, the black on you'd play all the time. Yeah, I keep it in our room mounted to the wall. You know I can't play the guitar like I play the piano, but I keep it because it reminds me of the happier times. Especially when you'd sing to me while playing."
Her voice cracked at the end and before she could stop herself, the tears fell again, "I wish you were still here, baby. I love you. Even though you're six feet deep, I know you love me too."
In the back of her mind she could hear him whisper.
"Can't take diamonds, can't take gold. But I'll take your love with me when I go. I'm gonna take it to the grave with me."
I saw that you were searching for Hazard asks so I thought I’d pitch in! 😁😊 (I luv that Scottish big boi)
How about some headcanons or a scenario about Hazard with a shy, petite (5'0-5'2) s/o who blushes easily?? (subtle touches, getting picked up/manhandled, quick kisses, etc.)
Thanks for the pitch, this was way too cute to write for that big softie! ;-; Also sry Scotts, I may've butchered your language. English isn't my first language and Hazard is my only reference for scottish slang, any feedback is more than welcome

You're just about the cutest person Haz has ever laid eyes upon, you're so tiny and shy compared to him, Findlay can't help but want to protect this little blushing fairy that came into his life
He def has a field day with you, teasing you relentlessly just to see you blush bright red and try to hide away on his side
constantly jokes that he'll implant a tracker in you so you won't get lost among the dust bunnies
loves dropping his jacket over your shoulders to see you disappear in it, he says he'll be taking you to his next mission in his pocket
thankfully he doesn't take it too far to the point it makes you actually uncomfortable, his bands did raise him right after all
Haz is head over heels for you and doesn't ever bother hiding it, will do anything you ask of him in a heartbeat
well, anything but to stop annoying you, that's his god given right as your partner
besides that he has the patience of a saint when it comes to you, knowing you're shy it took so long of you both dancing around each other before finally coming clean with each other
even if it has been clear since forever, he wanted to wait till you were comfortable with finally outright admitting it all
The main thing he can think during missions is if you're safe, it doesn't matter what's the goal, he has to be by your side the whole time to make sure you're safe
straight up jumping in the line of fire for you kind of overprotective, completely forgetting the crystal walls he can now create
So, so many nicknames like Fun Size, Sugar Plum Fairy, Cherry, Wee Yin, Numpty and
Due to you being, well, you Findley suffers badly from cuteness aggression, needing to softly bite your cheeks and tiny fingers before covering your face with kisses as he hold you close to show you how much he truly loves you
will sometimes point off to somewhere to your side so when you look he'll kiss your cheek, to then laugh at how hard it made you blush
Takes you on rooftop hopping dates, where he'll hoist you up on his shoulder and jump from building to building while badly singing "A whole new world" for you as you laugh
You're hanging together in a concert of one of your favorite bands he surprised you with tickets it doesn't take long in the night for crowd starts to get a bit too rowdy, Haz in fear of you getting hurt uses his body to shield you from the others as you manage to pull him off to a quieter area " Ye oke lass? Was afraid aff ye gettin wallap in there " he breathes a sigh of relief as he checks up with you you can only nod 'yes' before realizing you still have his hand in yours, as if feeling your sudden alarm over it Hazard tries to retreat his hand gathering all your courage you pull it back, laying your hand flat against his massive one your cheeks burn as you meet his questioning gaze "your hands are so warm ..." you gulp, interlocking your fingers together "I- uh I'd like for us to stay like this" now it was his turn to blush cherry red, he turns away from you trying to hide it as a smile creeps on his face " Aye, ah would like that tae" he breathy laughs meeting your eyes again " Ye Daft Wee Bastard"
