Scrapped (?) thingy I made back during winter break lol
Concept was sorta based off of how bc Delphi was in a snowy region, it'd probably make sense for First Aid to be able to navigate in the snow? My other idea was redesigning First Aid and giving him a snowmobile altmode- (Might come back to it some day, but looking at my current WIP pile... unlikely ;v;)
Scrapped background for today's Birthday art. I mean in the end a much more edited version gets used but for a long while I considered this one. It just didn't fit in my mind.
Shadow had to admit he was surprised, but overall okay with it. Laughing wasn’t the problem. He could handle the embarrassment from that. Rouge has teased him enough about it by now.
What he couldn’t handle was how excited it made Sonic. The grin, the way his eyes lit up, the cockiness of his voice… Has he ever even seen the hedgehog’s tail wag before?
Shadow feels his face burn as he replays the hero’s excitement in his mind.
It was too cute. He never thought someone would be so happy to see him do something so simple as laugh. He had no idea how to respond at that moment, and he knew if the hedgehog kept pushing he would have snapped. So, he did what he thought was best and left the situation.
A sigh leaves the dark agent. He really needs to work on how he processes these things.
Fighting? That’s easy. It’s violent, remorseless. There is no room for hesitation or clouded judgement. He was made as a weapon, he is The Ultimate Lifeform. He has the ability to anticipate any action his adversary might make and counter it with twice the amount of force. Even on the off chance he miscalculates, he’ll pick himself back up and charge right back into battle. He’s been in enough world-devastating events that there’s no question about it.
Relationships, though? Hell if he knew. This was entirely uncharted territory.
His usual tactics of brushing things off, ignoring them, or flat out punching them wasn’t going to work here. He needs a new strategy.
Author’s Note:
If this becomes part of its own segment for “Confessions” I just want to say that writing isn’t always going to be linear. I really struggled figuring out what I wanted to do with this chapter and rewrote it over and over again. And honestly? That’s okay. That’s part of the writing process. If you aren’t enjoying it or you don’t feel like your story is taking the turn you want it to, it’s okay to try something else. Writing is meant to be an outlet at the end of the day. If you’re becoming frustrated, take a step back and think of what your goal really is for this chapter/story.
I was proud of what I had and still thought it had some purpose. So, I kept it, even if it’s crazy short. What’s wrong with doing things against the norm? Plus, sometimes I wish I could see the drafts of the author’s I read and the way they write/edit. So, welcome to the new series of my scrapped work for the main story.
A/N: I wrote this back in November but never finished it ‘cause I felt unsatisfied (I was also quite down that time, and this might be more cringy than I remember) so I’ll just post it

Friday Evening
October Fall
Dearest You,
The more I look back at the old me the more I notice your impact on me. The old me lived a life that felt dull. More than black or white or shades of grey, I saw nothing. Completely colourless. It’s all visible. See-through but not clear. What you see from me is what you get, even if it wasn’t who I am yet. That time, everything about me had no depth. It wasn’t a sad life; it just had no excitement. Other words, plain.
I had fun with friends of course. We would just be stupid and weird. Had girlfriends. Even considered boyfriends. Wait! Don’t get mad at me! They weren’t boring, they just acted the way I expected them to act. They were easy to see-through. Believe me when I say I tried finding fun anywhere I could. I avoided drugs and drinking, though, don’t worry! But I think you’d count as a drug. I can feel you cringe through the time. You know I love my romance served with cheese.
When I first met you, it wasn’t immediately colourful. It took me a while but like you said, love is a gradual process. I found that out the more I got to know you. Slowly, life had colour. I saw red, blue, green, different shades. And if I were to describe how I feel about you, it would be colourful. You were the paintbrush, your personality as the various paints and I, the clear canvas. Funny enough of a metaphor, we met because of Bob Ross. Thank you, Mr. Bob Ross.
That day, I was taking a walk to a café, that recently opened, with Haknyeon and Sangyeon. I was supposed to go with all the members but Jacob, Juyeon, Changmin and Sunwoo had a photoshoot. Younghoon and New had a little date to this painting place. Eric and Hyunjae went to a pottery place. So, I had to settle with Haknyeon and Sangyeon. I’m kidding, Haknyeon actually wanted to check the same café out, and Sangyeon recovered from a mild cold so he wanted to go out after a few weeks stuck at home.
Haknyeon was singing loudly in the streets and Sangyeon was hyping him up. It was so funny. While we were walking, I heard something familiar playing. It was our song, Shine Shine, playing on the piano. Didn’t expect a dark, trap-heavy song to sound so angelic. I mean, some people have done it before but ykwim. You turned such a sexy song, innocent.
I saw you playing the grand piano. I know you’ll call me creepy (even though it’s actually romantic, excuse you) but I still remember exactly how you looked that day. Dyed strawberry blonde hair that almost looked pink, olive corduroy. It may not be love at first sight but watching you play was just mesmerizing. It was actually adorable how you were so into it. It was funny when you ran away when you heard Haknyeon. He tried to call you back and screaming that he was sorry. You dropped your ring. We didn’t see your face clearly so we didn’t know how to give it back to you. I actually suggested we follow after you but Sangyeon said we’ll just hand it to the police.
Some WIP work that I either never used, or started and gave up on. Sometimes it’s not a bad thing to move on from a piece if it isn’t making you happy!
