momo (@miyoriia) getting banned is not unexpected but it is deeply frustrating.
i will no longer be using tumblr for anything other than advertising my projects
@staff banning a trans woman for posting digital art with the slightest bit of comedic partial nudity is what you enable by using tumblr. all of us enable them to continue their flippant banning of marginalized users by continuing to scroll through their ads
the more followers you have, the more likely you are to have losers hatefollowing you in order to report anything you post that could get you banned. your first mistake is thinking you can get away with posting anything they could deem questionable. if you care about your blog and don't want to make another one, you have to play their game (also, christ, if you get banned and make a new account, don't post on the new account that you got banned from your old account, do not admit to ban evading)
i get that we don't want to censor ourselves but there is nothing revolutionary in posting scandalous content on the website tumblr. there is nobody to revolt against here. the moderation systems are surely all automated husks. they will not take any chances and they will not hear you because there is nobody listening. there is no form of protest that could matter because tumblr is a warped, sickly animal that refuses to die
this is an effectively dead platform - it is a liability to those who own and operate it. it is a ghost town and you are one of the ghosts. you stay here because your friends are here and you need to numb your brain with information and/or attention. nothing is going to change. the web is dying and money killed it
AAAGGHHHHH I MISS HIM SO MUCH AND I CANT EVEN POST ABOUT HIM BECAUSE ITS SUCH A RARE KINTYPE AND A WEIRD BIZARRE AU THAT IT WOULD DOX MY MAIN ACCOUNT BECAUSE HONESTLY NO ONE ELSE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS BUT ME FUUUUUCK I'm gonna go insane -Null
u and someone else asked so I shall deliver!!! I'll try to like, format it well. Disclaimer: this is an old ass au that I just today picked back up again and I'm still working on fleshing it out the parts I left out when I was a teenager
Also warnings: abuse, abduction, child death, trauma, and other stuff that'd happen in a lab that experiments on fucking kids
Also, bc this is the internet and ppl are dumb sometimes, no I do not take any enjoyment out of writing such settings. This was all expanded upon solely because I like when the character's different traumas and quirks can be linked back to specific causes.

So there was this organization, called Agartha Labs, that was fascinated by Project Shadow, and were already like, morally fucked up. They lived in a pretty sizable underground lab (hence the name).
They wanted to exceed the results of that project, creating multiple super mobians, that would specialise in more specific skills/powers. Raising multiple kids from birth wasn't in anyone's favour though, so they picked up some kids (ages 4 and up) from orphanages and decided to get started on them. About a dozen.
All the poor kids died within a few months. The augmentation was too rushed, their new abilities pushed too far, and their bodies gave out. With that lesson, they would take 2-3 years, slowly and steadily working on the kids' biological modifications, to not overload them, whilst basically abusing the hell out of them, to make them perfect little pawns. They went as far as purposely traumatizing the kids with a specific fear, to just scare them into compliance, if they misbehave.
If the mods didn't kill the kid in those years, they moved on to the testing phase, which included gradual training of whatever changes they made to them.

There's more details abt their shit practises, but let's just move onto Sonic!
Poor guy was kidnapped at 6 years old, along with ███ ████ ███████ ██████.
"Project no. 38: Mach 1 (mk. III)
There are some mobians, that naturally have a power of speed, but they can't exceed 120 km/h, and they can only do it for a few, maybe a dozen seconds, before they begin to badly overheat and become unable to catch up on breath.
The projects goal was actually to have the subject reach 200 km/h, for those few seconds, and to be able to sustain ~100 km/h for a more considerable time. They just called it Mach 1 cuz it sounded good, and they didn't believe actual sound speed was possible for an organic being.
He's called "mk. III", cuz they tried with 2 other kids, which are... dead.
Well, with Sonic they managed! But they saw more promise, as he didn't show any damage after reaching these 2 goals. So they pushed him further, but unbeknownst, they didn't have much time left.
When Sonic was around 10, the labs have been raided by police/military and the like, who FINALLY got wind of this hell. They arrested everyone, and tried to secure all the still living kids, but some of them just panicked and either ran off, or fought their way out of their hands. Sonic was one of the former, no surprise there. He ran as fast as he could, and swore to never look back.
He went on to become the hero we know, whilst burying his trauma so deep, he even forgot all about it. His childhood is a complete blank to him, but he's fine keeping it that way, even if some of the habits and mindsets he picked up back then still manifest to this day.
Obviously he's also exceeded their expectations significantly.
Sadly, eventually he had to face his childhood again, in the worst circumstances possible.
Su-Han showed up after Marinette told Alya the truth. He knew Marinette made her own choices as the new guardian, risky as they may seem, but he supported her decisions eventually, including telling her best friend. I just think it's neat.
I think the next people who deserve to know are Tom and Sabine, not Chat Noir. They're her parents, they worry about their daughter, and they will support her all the way.
