Rubbery Regeneration by Longius
AU Sophie's "mushy" physiology makes her extremely resilient, even to lethal-looking damage! One consistent thing I have across the AU versions of Sophie, is that she's not structured internally like she is in the canon story. In the canon, she's more or less a rubbery, cartilaginous version of a human, with more connective tissue holding her together. In the AU, she's more or less a pile of stretchy meat with a face and hair, which has intentionally vague rules about how exactly she works, to give me room to play with more out-there ideas. But as a result, her insides are pretty simple! Her cells are largely undifferentiated, so like a sponge or a hydrozoan, she is extremely resilient to injury, and in the AU scenarios where she's able to morph, there's no functional difference between being "injured" and molded into a different shape forcefully - "injury" just means having a hole in her, which she can usually already accomplish with her morphing abilities anyway, so it isn't really injury in that case, is it? In these scenarios, "healing" is much the same as simply morphing back to normal shape, as shown here! Etheman commissioned Longius to make this piece for me, off a story idea he's working on where Sophie fights a very impolite psychokinetic who can punch holes in her from a distance! Per his wishes, Sophie ended up taller and more curvy here than she usually is, but again, she's a polymorph in the AU, so no biggie! Longius did a great job conveying how her body "pulls itself together" like goo, or mycelium, or something like that. And of course I love hoe cute he makes Sophie in his style! :) Hope you enjoy! ~ Bonkie
