Coomer: Sorry to be late! My car broke down.

Bubby, trying VERY hard to look like he's not crying: a lot of people get sad listening to Fleetwood Mac it's VERY normal

Spike the Dragon (G3). The only version of Spike who is an adult in all appearances.

I'm not sure I can say yes, to be entirely honest. Spike as this design still feels too cute to be furrybait, if that makes sense. There's no draw to Spike as I see it here to make him generally furry bait even when expanding to account for individual creativity.

No use dwelling on a little paradox. Think about something else, like, uh... corgis having a footrace.

Corgos-? Corgis?

Tiny dogs! Always cute.

Running around 'n barking...

Yeah, that helped. Thank you.

I'm very glad to hear that, Barney.

Now what happened?

Don't ask.

One of my favorite G1 ponies is Munchy! But since she's rare, I don't have one of my own.

Haha SIKE I made a custom Baby Munchy to make up for it

OMG ..... that baby munchy looks official !!!

okay. bibi is .. a very badly failed attempt by the resistance to remove combine neural augmentation. they are found half-dead after the battle for white forest and an attempt is made to ""save"" them by resistance medics. its not really ethical (eli and kleiner are very displeased to learn about it) considering they cant consent to any of it, but theres a lingering unease about what exactly the combine does to people and a need to know (and to know if it can be undone)

more notes:

- gets shot in the head in white forest and survives. It damages their neural augments. their brain is severely fucked - both from the initial combine augmentation, the gunshot, and the subsequent experimental surgery.

-theyre no longer automatically loyal to the combine/hostile towards rebels. however, they aren’t hostile towards lingering combine forces, either. the only thing that consistently registers as an enemy to them are feral aliens and zombies. for a while after waking, they are easily made nervous, and thus aggressive. they need patient and gentle handling to level themselves out.

-has moments where combine programming seems to kick back in - almost exclusively when engaging in or witnessing violence. rather than a flip in allegiance, they become indiscriminately aggressive and will attack anything in close range, friend or foe. they eventually come out of these fugues if given a peaceful environment. for their own sake and the sake of others, they are kept away from violent situations as much as possible. In general, bibi tends to pick up on the atmosphere around them, and in a peaceful environment, they will pose no risk, while in a space where ppl are nervous and uneasy, they may be more unpredictable. they basically see everyone as an "ally", until confronted with violence, at which point the blanket perception switches to "enemy"

- can't really speak. In my headcanon combine soldiers radios are "built in" to their anatomy/mask, and they have radio speak they are programmed to use. Bibi speaks in combine radio chatter, communicating through set phrases. Due to damage, sound of it is distorted, similar to the glitchy pinging and snarling of Zombine radios. Eventually, they is able to chop and screw the programmed phrases a bit to allow themselves more variety.

- favorite stock phrase is "sector is... ghhghk... nottt secure", which they use whenever there's something "wrong", from there being a headcrab around the corner to someone leaving cabinets open in the kitchen.

-fairly passive most of the time. Shambles about like a sleepwalker. can be nudged into doing simple tasks and chores. mostly docile and obedient, but can randomly become very stubborn

-is learning to cook. The frilly apron was put on them so that people would be less nervous around them. They like it, and will wear it randomly, even when not cooking.

-likes to stare at the ocean, or other idly moving things, like swaying branches.

Concept: Nobody knows what to call the fusion until Coomer stumbles over his words and calls xem Berdey. Like Birdy. It's goofy, but they don't hate it.

Deeply considering this omg I think you're onto something here

beauty calhoun family guy death pose. beautiful

[This is reference to this earlier drawing.]

Thank you! I simply had to! >:)c

Beauty - just like Gorgeous - ragdolls in canon upon heavy impact... so having him settle in that position specifically after getting absolutely flattened just seemed right to me.
