Ok I know as a fandom we're a bit past the debate over if the centaurs are getting a name change/what to but im putting this out there now and maybe this will manifest it idk
So first, what makes a good team name here? It's gotta be inherently pretty silly. Ideally a creature of some kind, and one that when it's implied it's playing hockey, makes you go How would that even work?? Can name a dog after it, or at least after a notable individual. Has potential for a logo that is ideally phallic but definitely a visual innuendo. And as such, it came to me in a dream
I present to you all: Ottawa Octopuses
Inherently rather silly
How would an octopus play hockey
We can name chiron kraken or smth
And then someone can go "isn't that a squid" and Harris can go "yeah well there aren't really any famous octopi"
I have deliberately chosen octopuses as it is the stupidest option for a plural
Logo can lean silly (octopus wearing six skates) or sexy (tentacles, say, wrapped around a goal, can be rather.... penetrative)
Probably would get shortened to the pussies, as an insult at first but Ilya would play into it as a bit and reclaim that shit
In conclusion, I see no better options and so I'm calling it now
had a completely surreal and unforgettable experience at san diego comic con this year! thank you to the iwtv cast for the wonderful kindness they showed me this weekend, i hope they know how loved they are!
i was able to give two prints to sam so he could give one to jacob, he even asked me to sign them for him 😭
today’s mood: bummed out that it’s been more than a week into artfight and i have only gotten one defense & it’s a character i don’t care about that much :( i want attention so bad but i will be real the fact that my ratio is over 80% is killing my motivation
Hello! So this was originally going to be an ask but it spiraled out of my control and it got too long so here we are :D I hope you enjoy my ramblings. Also I'm not a writer so I'm sorry if I sometimes don't make sense (• ▽ •;)

Your legends reborn AU has given me brain worms and ideas and I would like to share them if you don't mind! :D
It's mostly about Zero.
So, in one of your posts you said that you view the guardians' animalistic traits as a sign of freedom and that got me thinking about Zero.
I'm not 100% sure on how you interpret him, or how you want him to be in the au but from what I've gathered you like to see him as a Creature™ and it's how i view him too most times!
I love your head cannon that Zero can go on all fours because was not only made to be the ultimate weapon but also the ultimate predator (or hunter I don't remember the exact word you used)
So I was thinking that in your legends reborn au, since it's a time of peace and he is not a war machine anymore, he's (mostly) not a weapon anymore! :D
So, his predator/ hunter side is more present which makes his animalistic traits more prominent then the guardians. He can run on all fours, has paws :3, I like imagining him using his hair/mane as a bed or a blanket, and maybe give him some wings to reflect the absolute armor and the mother elf a little since she was based on him. (I still think he wears armor though)
I just want them to represent how free he is in the new world. I see the world of megaman legends as being very freeing for a being like Zero.
I think he has always lived in very restricting conditions. As I said before this man is a Creature™ and I don't think Wily ever intended for him to be a social one or to live in crowded places like a city (cuz he was supposed to Destroy those). I imagine living in the hunters HQ with so many reploids never felt quite right to him.
And Sure he could act like other reploids and mostly blend in but his mind was still so different he had to work extra hard to fit in. (Basically he's had to mask so hard for most of his life)
I think the only time he felt most like he was in his natural habitat was in the Zero games when he was mindlessly destroying thousands of enemies in large spaces to achieve a goal, and mostly not talking to people. It was still not very fun for him though, since missing most of his memories, and missing people he did not remember did not feel nice.
Then he wakes up in a world where there is no war, no virus, no mavericks, no great or good he needed to die for. Only (relative) peace and a strange new body that needed to sleep and eat.
His body is hard to get used to. The prospect of hunting is not new to him, but eating definitely is, and sleeping is just as hard. Getting used to it is challenging enough that it distracts him from thinking about his situation too hard at first.
After a while, it starts to hit him that he doesn't have a purpose. He had always had something he had to do, something or someone to fight for. But now there was no one and the peace he and his loved ones had fought so hard for was achieved. Now his only purpose was to keep himself alive and help some of the people he finds in trouble, because what else does he do?
This makes him feel empty at first but then it's starts to feel so natural. To just exist, to hunt and help people he finds along the way, to learn about this new world and finally live.
He had never really lived before, not like this, his life was always dominated by being a weapon first. And later, accidentally adopting someone will really make him feel like he's alive.
He still misses X, Axl and many others terribly, but he tries to keep himself busy
Aaaa anyway, what I wanted to get at is that he's finally truly free. Like X is. And I like to portray that as him being able to be more wild.
