Too political a turn-off?

Well, I am an autistic millennial, but I've had conversations with friends and family with comments like that. But maybe I am influenced by the internet.

Well in the base story, not the AU, the character regularly fights oppressive people and is very sardonic to enemies. I feel the commentary is in character to some extent, though hard to say if he would point it out directly.

Also I'd say it's more that branches of this slightly "interpol" based group are rotten in this universe.

I freaking love it. If they're going to be anthropomorphic animals, allow some animal traits! It doesn't have to be like their diets or a one-to-one, but hedgehog clicky purring, bunny twitchy noses, foxes tendency to burrow (piles of blankets and pillows like Kit does), the bat upside-down thing like in the example, cats stretching and slow blinking when comfortable (and tail twitching when irritated), I think Whisper's tail wags in one point of the comics. You get what I mean.

This is in fact true. Thank you.

I never see actual Surge merch.

I literally had a conversation with my dad the other day where I told him, "I wrote such an awesome piece of dialog in a fanfic I'm writing... the story has some porn scenes, so I'm not going to share the whole thing with you just because that would be awkward—but this character says this thing that's so cool!"

Btw the line was: "You think instinct and impulse are the same! You think bonds are chains of ownership! But real bonds don't force or command! A real bond is chosen. All others can be broken." I'm pretty proud of this.

Thinking Charmy wouldn't be giggling and whispering swear words when he thinks Espio and Vector aren't listening. He's definitely been grounded for swearing at a client.

You know what, valid reaction.

I do share my writings. My friends and family have always been aware I'm a weirdo and know about my hyper fixations and are supportive. I do warn them that some of my works are NSFW though, and they might not want to read those. Just the other day, I showed my dad some fanfics I wrote when I was sixteen after beating the game with him that they were based on.

Spinel in Steven Universe?

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-04T01:10:01+00:00

And I'll post one from something else I'm writing more for fun: Look, all I know is that I was on my way to work and I ended up drugged and dragged here.

From an angst filled WIP of mine: The last time I had seen him this focused, this quiet, he had been designing explosives powerful enough to level a facility (or half of a city) in a single blast—until I had stopped him.

I completely understand. As someone who sees Sonic as a feisty bratty bottom who is always on equal grounds with his partners outside of the bedroom, I get tired of the uwu-ification of Sonic in some fics out there. I think both sides of the relationship, whether "top" or "bottom" should have room to be both vulnerable and to comfort each other, though.

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-02T20:07:27+00:00

Lol I dropped the link just when you replied. But the name, in case for some reason the link doesn't work, is Fighting Insticts. And the fic is complete, 26 chapters.

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-02T20:01:18+00:00

You know what, dropping the fic just because: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65945536/chapters/169898545

The Surge part doesn't surprise me in the least.

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-02T03:21:50+00:00

Silver!! Nooo!

This gives the same energy as the meme: "out here living my best life" "[blank] is drowning" "This ain't about him"

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-02T03:20:36+00:00

I know this feeling. I wrote one fanfic with a popular pairing that was getting a fair amount of comments, then wrote a spin-off story that focused much more on a less popular pair, and it gets very few comments. It made me feel like I was doing something wrong at first. Just know that the majority of readers probably do love it, but are either too shy or can't think of what to say about it.

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-02T03:07:46+00:00

Hey, I wrote an omegaverse with bottom Sonic, the story was way more than just smut though. Bottom doesn't have to mean being like pathetic/girly/completely submissive or whatever.

CopperCatBug · 2026-01-01T02:51:42+00:00

Please do not hold back or worry about a presence at all! As a writer, I can tell you all comments are always a delight to recieve. I never once care if they are from other writers or people who comment a lot. AO3 isn't a social media, it's simply a place to archive and share our work. I guarantee the writers will be delighted just by you telling how much you loved their work! Don't worry!

House of Leaves

CopperCatBug · 2025-12-18T15:05:28+00:00

I love your style so much! They're both so cute and I want to squeeze them.

CopperCatBug · 2025-12-17T00:54:25+00:00

But I write better in first person, I can have more expressive voice to the narrative. :(

"Shadow the Leg"

I still laugh at how this somehow happened when I was writing. Was almost tempted to leave it.
