Hyperforce: Side Story (WORKING TITLE) (Part One)

Upon witnessing the success of the Hyperforce in protecting Shuggazoom City, some planetary leaders sought to imitate its achievements through the creation of a brand new monkey team: the Doomwatch. This team contained four brand-new cybernetic monkeys, trained from birth to be excellent fighters and worthy protectors of the remaining uncorrupted planets...

Three of these monkeys were inspired directly by existing members of the Hyperforce in order to guarantee qualified results: Edelweiss, the calm and collected second in command, took visual cues from the Yellow Monkey and traits from the Black Monkey. Aquamarine, the nervous yet calculated scientific chief-in-command, was almost entirely taken from the Blue Monkey’s appearance and smarts, but did not contain an ounce of his confidence. Rocky, the boisterous, stubborn fighter, was very clearly inspired by the Red Monkey’s instinctual nature, but amplified by a thousandfold.

The fourth monkey and leader of the team, Scorpion, was one of the scientists’ special projects. Enhanced with the DNA of a Formless monster at birth, he took on a slightly different appearance from that of the other simians. He was significantly taller and bore no hand-weapons, instead bearing razor-sharp titanium claws. To make up for this, he wielded an extendable scythe-like tail, and was to be more agile and swift than his counterparts.

The Doomwatch Project was a rousing success. None of the monkeys had any complications in their cybernetic transformations, they took to fighting quite easily, and best of all: they were already adored by neighboring cities and planets.

Further into the project, a fifth monkey was introduced to the team; it was explained that he had been created in a different facility, and was to be transferred in. The newest monkey, known as Gigabyte, bonded with the team quickly. The other monkeys loved him for his enthusiasm and hyperactivity, and no one questioned why he had been introduced into the team so late.

Scorpion, however, knew better.

In reality, the monkey known as G1G4-BYTE was not a cybernetic monkey at all. He was the lab’s secret successful attempt at creating a silver monkey; an entirely robotic creation previously only documented in the logs of the Alchemist.

Due to his special nature, Scorpion was allowed to know the truth about the silver monkey, and witnessed most of his creation. He, unlike the other team members, knew that there was no “other facility”, and any memories G1G4-BYTE contained of such were falsely implanted for security reasons. The robot was forbidden from knowing the truth about himself, because pray tell, what would happen if he found out?

Because of this, Scorpion was secretly tasked with being a lookout for G1G4-BYTE, making sure that nothing would happen that might signal him of his true nature.

Around half a year after the integration of Gigabyte into the team, disaster struck. The ship they all resided on was attacked by the forces of the Skeleton King. It was completely ravaged, and the three original monkeys, having been in sleep stasis, were stolen away during the battle. Scorpion, tasked to protect the silver monkey no matter the cost, fled with him to the back of the ship. The entire hull was torn in two by a force so strong, it sent all the remaining pieces hurling into space. The tail of the ship was sent careening across the stars…

…before crash landing on an unidentified jungle planet very far away.

Now, Scorpion and Gigabyte must learn to tap into their primate instincts in order to survive in uncharted territory. Will Scorpion be able to keep Gigabyte’s secret much longer? And if he can’t…how will Gigabyte take the news?

Behold! The start of my SRMTHFG! AU and the backstories of Scorpion and Gigabyte. The next 2-3 parts should be up over the next couple of months, as well as designs for all the characters. I've been pretty busy so I can't guarantee when things will be posted, but I've been having a lot of fun with this!

(Tw: csa; full on vent in a strangers ask box, sorry, but I need to reach out to someone who might understand) so I saw you when I was browsing the csa tag on patricia-taxxon’s blog. And you sent an ask that pretty much sums up what I feel too (it’s why I was browsing her blog). Like I have this weird fixation on/connection to csa despite really having no signs that something bad happened to me. I have weird fetishes that developed at a very early age (earliest I can remember is preschool) but other people with these particular fetishes sometimes report early onset too. So like I don’t think that’s really a sign of anything. I have a friend who was a csa victim who once asked if it happened to me when I was discussing my sexuality, because I think they related to what I was saying. I’m well into adulthood and have never been with someone sexually/romantically. But I am sexual inside. I don’t know. It feels so confusing and embarrassing and makes me feel a lot of shame. Like am I just attention seeking? Am I just desperately grasping for a reason that might explain why I’m a weird, mentally ill pervert loser?? I feel like I’m going crazy.

Has anything changed with you since you sent that ask? Any advice or insight you could give me? Sorry again for venting like this, but I need some help and I have no where to turn.

Hi anon!! first off, feeling a lot of shame and confusion is fully normal in this situation, and is a pretty definitive sign you are NOT attention seeking!

On my end, this is still something we’re struggling with. We only recently began working on it in therapy so not a lot of definitive advice but I HAVE learned some good ways to cope. My biggest advice sounds kinda silly but basically just… don’t think about it too hard lol. I’ve gone through the cycle of obsessing over memories and trying to solve the puzzle that is my mind and it only left me more confused and depressed. I had to accept that if these memories are real, they’ll show themselves when they’re ready. It’s not uncommon for csa memories to resurface VERY late in life (like 30-40 type stuff)

If you have a therapist that can help you with this, I’d start by working through related issues (for example, sexual shame or feelings about your certain fetishes) to rule out anything that might be causing these anxieties

In the mean time, you just have to learn to live in the discomfort of not knowing for certain. It sucks balls but oh well. cus in cases like this, it’s not about the real life things that may or may not have happened, it’s about what YOU feel deep down. Whatever emotions you’re feeling, they are real and affecting you and that’s what matters most. I usually say to myself something like “I may have survived this. Or I may not have. And either is okay.” hope that makes sense

I can talk more in dms if u have more question :] (may not respond v quickly because i rarely check tumblr). um ALSO IMPORTANT!!- I’ll probably be deleting this post at some point because i wanna keep my content consistent

And obligatory disclaimer- just in general be careful about venting to random strangers!! I am personally unfazed but if it was someone else, they may’ve potentially gotten upset with u

happy 4/20!

more of them whatever

Fandoms try NOT to infantilize East Asian men challenge (impossible) (this post is about Daisuke Mouthwashing)

[kneptoons]

No cause tell me why so many of you are getting SO up in arms about people whitewashing Daisuke then immediately turn around and be like “he’s my baby boy uwu he just needs protecting oh gosh he’s just a silly little guy!” like are you listening to yourself right now.

Yes, he may be the youngest on the crew but he’s still a grown ass man. Pls just try to stop for a second and think about the stereotypes u might be perpetuating. Sick and tired of people constantly infantilizing us.

To all the people who want to get a mobility aid, or any type of disability aid, but are too insecure for whatever reason:

Get one.

If you think it’ll help you, it probably will. Do not feel afraid to get something if you think it’ll help improve your quality of life. Those who don’t need a disability aid do not yearn to have one.

“But I don’t know if I’m disabled enough-” doesn’t matter. will it help you? then get it.

“But I’m not even diagnosed with anything-” doesn’t matter. will it make your life better? then get it.

“But I’m not even disabled-” shush. if you think you might need an aid, chances are you probably are disabled to some degree. and even if you aren’t comfortable calling yourself disabled, IT DOESN’T MATTER. will it help you? THEN GET IT!!

The more people who are using disability aids, the better. I want to see people of all different levels of ability using aids, all types of aids. I want people to talk about canes and braces and rollators and AACs the same way they talk about glasses.

There is so much stigma around those who use visible aids, especially mobility aids like wheelchairs which make so many spaces entirely inaccessible. The more people using aids, the more normal it will be. The less stigmatized it will be. The more people using aids, the more we as a society will have to make spaces more accessible. and when a space is accessible, it benefits everyone. The more people using aids, the more it does for disability rights. The more visible we become. The less ignorable we become. The more empowered we become. And the less power our oppressor will have against us.
