This blog is mostly sfw space, I curse in most of my posts and some posts may have some trigger warnings. So just be careful here :]
About this blog-
I write fan fiction here and make silly headcannons lol
I take sfw requests for writing characters, I will write about autodale, starwars, transformers, madness combat. And uhh other stuff (it refuses to come to my mind rn)
I also draw sfw stuff but it may take some time for me to draw your character submissions bc stuff irl may get in the way.

Actually im convicing all of my mutuals to watch Autodale
It's a dystopia city in which everything (including life) is automated and follows a never ending cycle, anyone who steps out of said cycle is deemed an "ugly"
I know it sounds very basic, but the execution is incredible, not only that, but the creator has videos in which he goes into detail on how the series is made, his inspirations, etc., which are very fun to watch and have given me a lot of inspiration
Content warnings just in case: The story has topics like homophobia, misogyny, ableism, and violence, lots and lots of gore and violence, in the first episode there is also the r-slur (it's not said, it is written in the mask of one of the characters, while it is not shown as a good thing it is the only dated part of the series)
Watch it it's very good horror I promise it's very good, it's no longer than 5 minutes, with the longest episode being 18 minutes long
-just a short little drabble about autodale. I just need fluff about Shadow :D
-Platonic shipping Y/n x The Friendly shadow. (You can think of it as romantic shipping too, only if you want though.)
Tw: none, just pure fluff, usage of y/n, and Shadow pushing you away at first :(
Context- you meet someone who may change everything for you here in Autodale.
Despite being a model citizen and having the world in your hands, you still felt empty. It felt like your life wasn't going forward. You needed something, something fun, like an adventure of some sort. You just didn't know where to start. That is until you met him, the friendly shadow.
Your first encounter with the old man was awkward. You met him in an alleyway on a dark and quiet night.
You don't remember what you doing outside this late, but you ran into him abruptly when you went in the alleyway. His tall and dark frame scared you at first. He didn't have his coat on but he had his hat on. You didn't scream but you were frightened.
On the other hand, you scared shadow too because you popped up out of nowhere and ran into him. He fell back and onto the wet concrete, making the puddle splash everywhere. His hat fell off and landed on your feet.
You could've ran, you could've just forgotten about the situation and went on with your life. But you couldn't, you were too damn kind for this grey world.
Instead, you picked up his hat and reached out your hand to the fallen old robot. "Are, are you okay?" You gulped, even though you were scared of him you still tried to help.
You remember how bright the eyes of the old robot got. You remember how he looked like he just experienced something new. But he was hesitant to take your hand, his eyes were racing with confusion and shock.
"Uhm." He then slowly reached out for your hand. "Yes uhm, I'm alright." His voice was deep and shaky. You pulled him up while holding onto his wide hat, he was heavier than you thought despite his arms being relatively skinny.
You remembered how tall he was and how pale his face was, it was almost as white as the mask you wore. His face was also wrinkled and he had dark eyebags that contrasted with his bright eyes.
You both stared at each other awkwardly, both of you not knowing what else to say or do. This was so new to both of you.
After a hot second, you cleared your throat and reached out to him with his hat. "I believe this is yours." You blurted out embarrassingly.
"Thank you, citizen." He muttered and took his hat from your hand swiftly, it almost seemed rude by how aggressively he took it. He then quickly turned around and walked quickly down the alley. Disappearing from the light and fading into the darkness of the alleyway.
That small gesture that you did, meant everything to him. Even though he left off in a hurry.
After your encounter, you and Shadow would run into each other more often at the most random places. It would start as you simply just waving to him and maybe even saying hi to him. But he never truly acknowledged you, he would just glance over at you with his bright eyes and scurry off somewhere else. Sure seeing his face in public was a little frightening (because he would walk between alleyways and or somewhere dark where other citizens couldn't see him) but you wanted to talk to him. He was like an alleyway cat that would come and go.
One night, you saw him again and you couldn't take it anymore. Your curiosity got the best of you.
"Wait a second!" You exclaimed before he disappeared. You spotted him in the same alleyway as always and stopped him before he walked away.
This caught his attention quickly, he flinched at you exclaiming at him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face you. His eyes were pacing anxiously as his stance narrowed.
You ran to him across the empty street, adrenaline pulsing through your veins with every step towards him. This was your chance, ever since that day your curiosity about the old robot only grew more. You finally reached him and low and behold, you didn't know what to say.
You both just stood there awkwardly again. Shadows face painted with question and yours with shyness.
"Can I help you?" His voice cracked and he started to fidget with his hands. He wore his coat this time but with the middle unbuttoned, leaving his suit underneath exposed.
You inhaled the cold and dry air and tried to think of something to say. You've been wanting to approach him again ever since you met him and you don't have anything to say!?
"Ehm..." you croaked out a hesitant sound. You then took a hesitant step forward and he stepped backward in return.
You then exhaled and thought of something quick to say. "I don't believe we met properly." You said and held out your hand for a handshake. "My name is Y/N"
Shadow glanced at your hand hesitantly, his eyes beamed like the first time you had done this, only this time he wasn't on the floor making a fool of himself.
He retaliated back slightly, unsure of what to do. He stood so still, that it seemed as if he was paralyzed in place. His mouth opened slightly, preparing to say something.
"Okay." He muttered and attempted to turn around and walk away.
You weren't going to let him disappear into the darkness, not again. You then reached for his hand that swayed against his side and gripped it softly. "Wait." You softly exclaimed.
"I want to be friends!" You blurted out, tugging softly on his robotic arm.
His back was to you as he turned his head over his shoulder, his side profile was well-sculpted and he had the most defined cheekbones you've ever seen.
"With me?" He whispered and began to turn around. You let go of his hand and nodded your head awkwardly. "Me?" He repeated to himself as he stared at the concrete.
"I don't think" He hesitated with his fragmented sentence. His gaze softened for a slim moment before hardening again. "I don't think you should be my friend." He added as he attempted to sound stoic when in reality his voice was underlined with guilt.
He then turned around abruptly and attempted to walk away again. But my God, you were just too stubborn for rejection and you jumped in front of him.
"Wait wait wait wait, I know, I know that was very abrupt! But please! You seem very interesting and well I ju-"
"What do you want from me? No one wants a friendship unless they want something, what is it that you want?" He interrupted you very suddenly. He didn't sound annoyed, he sounded scared.
You flinched at his outburst and stepped back a little.
He then realized what he said and his wrinkled face was painted with guilt. His stance then became even more reserved and he started to fidget with his hands again.
"Oh geez, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to- I mean- I didn't-!"
"It's okay."
Your voice was calm and inviting. You interrupted shadows drabbles and you reached for him slowly. He watched your hand reach for him. Instead of moving backward, he moved toward your hand. You placed it softly on his upper arm.
"I'm sorry." He softly muttered and avoided eye contact with you. He was almost like a child who got in trouble and was apologizing.
"It's just, well, no one has ever asked me to be their friend. Let alone come up to me so comfortably. I- well, I'm just so sorry about how I reacted."
He then pauses and looks at you, his gaze is soft and his face is relaxing slowly. The glow of his eyes softly peaked through the brim of his hat.
"It isn't safe being my friend. Let alone you talking to me." He continued in his calm and deep voice.
"Why is that?"
"I..." He then looks away from you and looks at your hand that caresses his upper arm. He admires your hands for a second and continues his sentence.
"It... it just isn't okay? I care about your safety and everyone else's here in this town. My job isn't to make friends, it's to protect." He sounded so disappointed when he said that. He frowns and holds the hand that you're using to caress his arm.
You weren't going to accept that answer, you wanted to be his friend at this moment. Nothing would stop you. Even if you were labeled as ugly early, or anything else that wasn't pretty, it wouldn't stop you.
"That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have friends, it doesn't mean you should isolate yourself. Whatever it is that may be holding you back, just know that it isn't worth being in isolation."
His eyes beamed and he tilted his head to the side. "I..." He muttered hesitantly.
You then took off your mask, revealing your face to him. He didn't react to how your face looked, but he reacted on how you trusted him enough to show your face (especially since you two were outside/the public.)
You then sighed and slouched slightly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you for something so selfish. I shouldn't have pushed so hard for something you're hesitant about. I'll le-"
"Wait." He blurted out and held your other hand that was idly on your side. You drop your mask on the concrete as he holds your hand.
His eyes paced rapidly tracing side to side. Before he finally closed them. He then exhaled softly and opened his eyes.
"I'll be your friend." He said like he had just gotten over a fear. He then interlocked your fingers with yours. You then let go of his arm and he held your other hand interlocking those fingers on his other hand with yours.
"Really?!" You blurted a little too loud as you grinned widely. You squeezed both of his hands but it hurt slightly since his hands were made of metal.
Your response shocked him but he seemed more happy. He grins slightly and stutters. "Oh uh, yes?" He softly chuckles at your response.
You both then calm down and you let go of his hands, it took him a second to let go of yours. "So uh, yeah!" You blurted out to fill the silence. Shadow chuckles and smiles to himself, it's odd seeing him smile but you don't care.
He then jerks up and he looks away from you. A few seconds later he places a finger on the temple of his forehead and says something. "Right, on my way." He mutters to himself. He then removes his finger from his forehead and looks back at you. You asked what happened and he said that it was just something he had to tend to urgently.
"I hope I can see you again." You say to him and put your mask back on. "I hope so too...y/n is it?" He asks hesitantly. "Yep!" You respond and reach your hand out for a handshake. He looks at your hand and reaches out to shake it.
He then turns around and walks into the darkness of the alleyway, but this time with a warm smile painted on his face. You wave to him as you walk out of the alleyway.
This certainly won't be the last time you'll see him.
Authors note: Hiii everyone! It's been a while since I've been active lately, I've been busy with life and I took a break online. Well not exactly a break if you count reblogs. But still, I'll be posting more drabbles like this and I'll be continuing on the Autodale fan fic! Thank you all for the support and thank you mutuals for being there! I love you all so much!- Shockwave

so at first i thought being gay is something he would be killed for, because yknow, in the first chapter they show that people who are gay are executed, but like, Friendly Shadow is no longer part of the "breeding" cycle (for lack of a better word), I don't think they would kill him for it, they wouldn't let him date a citizen of course but he wouldn't be killed for it yknow
the story of autodale is already sorta about the struggle of minorities to live in a capitalist society that values the keeping of traditions and a perfect cycle above everything else, i think someone being gay would be fitting
Ok usually I donāt tag along with discussions/reposts, but idk Iām in a ādiscussion modeā today. š
FS most likely wouldnāt get killed, but his partner very much would be. Either that, or thereās that very slim chance the partner is dismembered into a HIVE, since, through conversations, the partner would come to find out the truth of Autodale. Thatās why I honestly feel like FS likely wouldnāt get any partners, even if he wants to.
His job, and his desires essentially, is to protect the citizens of Autodale with the best of his abilities and the given restrictions made by HIVE. If thereās a possibility he/a citizen falls for each other, I feel like he might either 1) be the mature/reasonable person and disengage, or 2) latch onto his opportunity to finally feel more human and away from his machine side and try desperately to grab hold of this new feeling. We can see that FS is rebellious, but he also isnāt stubborn. We donāt have much to go off of, but I donāt think heās a stubborn guy unless itās something absolutely morally wrong.
As I continued to think about this relationship thing and how itāll affect his character, I was just wondering: if FS was to fall and latch onto a person, would this be deemed selfish on his part? Would the relationship go awry due to the base of the relationship being mainly because FS is clinging onto the feeling of being human? What would HIVE do about it?
Being realistic, they most likely could figure out within days that FS got a person and call him out (or rather utilize the fact as an excuse) for putting a person in harm for his own feelings; they would also, most likely, say that this would leave a traumatic experience on the partner and, therefore, would have to be executed or (very not possibly) be transformed into a HIVE. That would put IMMENSE guilt on FS, which could either be a benefit for HIVE as he would stray further from emotions and, therefore, focus on his work better, or a hinder as his ability to work as emotions would run wild in him and heāll become easily aggravated/upset.
So, in conclusion, a partner could be possible, but not a pretty good idea for the man.
Oh, my poor shadow- yep that sounds about right tbh. Lol there should be a petition for him to be able to have someone at this point and not ge in trouble by hive šš

hi Autodale fandom, here's some old doodles of our cyborg detective hunter! I'm curious, would anyone wanna see a character analysis of the Friendly Shadow in a post?? largely headcanon theory but still
