i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain
if it helps i also wish there was a fic
meeeeeee
So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).
“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.
But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.
Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.

if you scroll past this just because it doesn’t affect you personally, i see you.
Also, you can always go to court and contest a ticket, and a lot of times you’ll win. Or if the cop thinks you’ll win they won’t even show up and you’ll win by default.
They like to target out of state plates because anyone who would be majorly inconvenienced by a court date two months away is a lot more likely to just pay it.
The $100-200 it usually costs to hire a ticket attorney is well worth it.
It shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone, but I've been a Sonic fan for pretty much my entire life. I've played pretty much all of the games front-to-end, watched the many adaptations of said games, and even read some of the comics whenever I could. It's also no secret that this franchise has a very dedicated and passionate fan-base (for better or worse), and it's a thing of wonder to behold that some members of the community have their talents recognized by the team that brought the blue hedgehog's fame into the stratosphere.
...that being said, it always comes as an eyebrow-raiser that, despite being so fixated on the details of the Sonic franchise, the one thing that's always being misrepresented (not just in fan-made works, but now in official media as well) is the dynamic shared between the titular protagonist and his archenemy.
It doesn't take a genius to realize that the interactions and dynamic between the main protagonist and antagonist (sometimes plural) can make or break a product. Especially when the subjects are as iconic in the world of fiction as Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman. Which begs the question of why do so many people misunderstand Sonic and Eggman's animosity, much less the core of their characters? How did I even reach such a conclusion to make such a bold accusation? Well, let's find out (assuming the title didn't make you lose interest, that is)!
I wish more people understood that Sega / Sonic Team carefully scrutinizes and approves every single issue of the IDW comics before they get printed and release, down to characters' facial expressions.
This isn't like the wild west of the 90s where people like Penders were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Scripts and storyboards are sent to Sega for approval multiple times for every issue. And the IDW team has to make the requested changes before it can print. One example that has been specifically mentioned was when Amy hugged Sonic in the "Chao Races and Badnik Bases" arc. Evan originally drew a little blush on Sonic's cheeks. Sega said "no" because Sonic doesn't show that much vulnerable emotion, and so Evan had to revise the panel to remove the blush. The oversight is that finite. Absolutely NOTHING gets put in the IDW comics that is against Sega or Sonic Team's ideas for their characters and brands. Like it or hate it, but that's simple fact.
So when you hear, "Sega wants to bring the comics and games (and potentially the shows) under the same canon umbrella" — yeah, it makes sense! Because while Sonic Team might not be crafting the comics themselves, they ARE overseeing their creation and are approving every story beat and facial expression contained within. They know exactly what is happening in the comics, are actively working to keep them in line with the current vision for the Sonic brand, etc. If they're working to keep them in line with their current vision for the games anyway, why NOT tie them all together? Especially when the comics have helped bring a new generation of kids to the franchise (similarly to how the movies did) while also being compliant with the games (unlike the movies). It just makes sense.
I understand that people who are perhaps more used to stories about what the Archie comics were like in the 90s might have reservations. But for good or for ill, the IDW comics are a completely different beast, despite having a lot of the same crew. I'm not saying Sega are overbearing evil overlords who don't let the IDW team have any fun (personally I think it's clear the team has a lot of fun working on the comics), because hell, they let a zombie pandemic arc happen. But I am saying that nothing that happens in the comics happens without Sega's express approval, right down to whether Sonic is allowed to blush when Amy hugs him or not. You still don't have to like the comics, everyone has different tastes and that's cool. But just know that the comics are Sega-approved panel by panel, so if you have an issue, take it up with them. Ultimately, they're the ones who get final say.
When you get this you have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ♡
You mother fuck-Fine. 😒😒😒
1. I guess I really like when I shave my beard and my more feminine features pop out. I like appearing more slightly androgynous as an up and coming non binary icon/hj
2. I guess I like my apathy sometimes, it helps me to not bother with a lot of presumptions like race, gender, etc.
3. I like how I do designs. I always have fun trying to do the best I can to make the design fit the characters personality/psyche, exemplified in my sona.
4. i like how well ive gotten into voice acting. as im trying to go into it as a career, i love that i don't see it as a chore and genuinely enjoy it.
5. finally, i guess i like the way i write stories. I've struggled with it but seeing people i know praise and love it gives me the feelies.
THERE. im never doing something like this again.

@ /here-comes-the-circus
hey, idk what your problem with me is but never did i once ask for your adress and meant it okay, plus i was never romantically attracted to you. youre 14 and thats just wrong. i was just being friendly. the heart reacts on messages were just to be nice, nothing more than that. idk why youd think of me like that, you know id never get into anything of that sort. plus i dont understand why youre calling me a pedophile because im ace and that shit brings back serious trauma and i cant help but have a really bad breakdown after talking about that stuff. im not a pedo, id never do anything associated with that stuff, not even with someone younger than 18. youve got me all wrong. and the one time i gt mad at you for not joining a vc fast enough??? are you serious?? what makes you think id get mad at you for something stupid like that, it was a joke, i never meant to make it seem like i was actually angry and you know i was joking. so im not sure why youre spreading rumors about me and all this horrible shit but its all false. i was never attracted to you. i never asked for your adress and meant it. i never wanted to get into a relationship, especially with a 14 year old. thats too young, too gross. also i know you saw the post of mine and olives sonas kissing, first of all, its a drawing and means nothing more than two characters kissing. it doesnt mean im a fucking pedophile. what kind of idiot do you take me for?? you can clearly ask olive if i mean anything i say to her in a romantic way, its all platonic. i promise. and yea we love eachother but in a fuckin friendship way, friends can love each other platonically. duh basically what im saying to you is that your rumors are false, im not into anything romantic with people younger than myself, im ace and that shit fucks with me too bad to even try to think about that shit so im no pedophile. and obviously you took my kindness the wrong way. and even if i did react to those messages with hearts, dont a lot of people do that? its not meant to be romantic cause its a heart lol. its meant to be friendly, from my side. ask any of my friends, id never do anything like that shit. youve got it all wrong. and im not disagreeing with you to back myself up, im disagreeing with what youre saying cause youre making false rumors. we used to be friends… why would you just go off and unfriend me then start spreading lies about me. im hurt valk. idk what the fuck i did to you but just know i never meant any of it to be taken in the wrong way, it was all to be kind. but if you wanna see me as this person you see me as, go ahead. just know im not the person you think i am. and if you took that kindness as an imply that i wanted it to be romantic then youre wrong. i just got out a bad relationship around that time and i didnt want anything to do with dating and i didnt want feelings for anyone. everything i do with olive too is all platonic. dont take that shit the wrong way. its all kindness. but go ahead and see it the wrong way. not my fault you decide to see things in a bad perspective
also raye i never asked for you address or groomed anyone. idk what your problem is, all i ever wanted to do was art collab, and be a friend cause you wanted to be a friend and looked up to me back then. i never d id that, i never asked anyone for their address. and raye, all we did was collab and art trade and send wips and say happy birthday. i never did anything else with you. yeah we called once or twice but thats while my hands were full or i was drawing and we just spoke, i never did anything creepy or asked for you address. please dont lie
eggs ain't that kinda person to do anything pedo related. sadly this kinda shit happens when you get big, but ey im here to say my bud here ain't like that for those of you who aren't too biased with hate.
I blame @kikithedeceiver for this. (theres no sound for the first few seconds and it might get loud so dont turn your volume up too much;;)
I’m in fucking tears
