First one is Tails. Aside his twin tails (the most noticeable thing) he is not too different to me. He is cute, polite and friendly. Although he is shown to be a genius, I think he winks more to smart kids in school that are looked down by envious peers because their life is easier than the life of the other students, even if they have good personalities. Or to young kids who feel inadeguate for something. Tails is mostly very normal to me, but he is very relatable exactly because he is not 'over the top' and his traits are virtually shared with everybody.
The twin tails might represent some traits many kids have and are ashamed off, like freckles, buck teeth, red hair or protuding ears. Traits that most learn to love when they grow up. Just like how Tails learned to love his peculiar trait.
Tails doesn't have a hardtime to befriend somebody. He just needed to find confidence in himself.
Shadow, he got a lot. I want to sayone thing about his outside look before: originally (SA2, for example) Shadow was not meant to look scary. He was meant to look cool. The first thing people noticed is how he resembles Sonic. Nobody in SA2 commented: 'How scary Shadow is'. Back then the only comment on his look were 'cute' (Rouge) or 'lame' (Sabrina) and the other characters talked to him the way they talk with everybody else. Not even in 'Shadow the Hedgehog 2005' people think he is scary, unless they don't see him with a gun in his hand (but, Cheese would be scary too if he had a gun). In Sonic Prime nobody fear Shadow because of his look.
The way he looks always made me think to those kids that don't follow the mainstream trend: metalheads, punk etc... Real life taught me that those guys are safer than many guys with a cleaner look.
I think the idea that Shadow looks scary was introduced in Sonic X and Sega lingered on it a lot when they decided Shadow had to be a edgelord.
The most noticeable thing in his behaviour is how socially awkward he is and how rarely he look at people he is interacting with. Even his friends. Did you notice how in Dark Beginning even Maria always needs to force his attention? She's so used to this she does it without thinking.
Is not like he is afraid. Male, female, important figures or regular people, the treat them the same. He truly has no idea about what to do or how to deal with social stuffs. Is interesting how in early games but also in recent media like the movies, he let people approach him instead of being him approaching others. Sticking around is his way to allow people to get used to him. Then he can relax and attempt to initiate something himself.
This image makes me think to those hand shaped tools for cats
Another thing is a long streak of Shadow's self loathing that virtually shows in all media, here and there: games (Sonic Battle and shadow the Hedgehog for example) Both Japanese and western comics (Archie, recent Shadow's manga), the movie, Dark Beginnings etc...
The impression he gives me is that he is not a true loner. Loners are happy to be alone. See Knuckles, he is a loner and he is cheerful, chuckling in his debut game. The rare moments you see Shadow being somewhat happy is always when he is with someone. Maria especially, but also Rouge and Omega. He doesn't like the crowd, he is still an introvert. But he also doesn't like being alone as much as people may think.
By reading comments on YT, Shadow (when he is not characterized as an edgelord) reasonates with troubled kids, with people suffering either from depression or from autism. But also with people who are simply introverts. For the latter, I've read on one comment on YT long ago about one introvert who was able to find his friends because he got inspired by Shadow, and after two decades his life is going fine and the friends he meet as a kid are all still his friends.
Tails and Shadow are two outcast, but they're different and reasonate with different people.
O. P
Because in this profile we love the stubborn Optimus Prime. (~ ̄³ ̄)~♥️

8 and a half hours of work because I tried doing line-work+solid colours instead of my usual way
So I asked my friend which Overwatch character I should do my next alphabet headcanons about and they said Genji! So I'll be doing Genji next, probably later today.
However while I was thinking about him the thought of his cybernetics came to mind and I went off on a full blown tangent about it so I figured I'd post my thoughts on how much of Genji is a cyborg before I do his relationship stuff.
This is blackwatch, Genji, I don't know if this is canon or not but for the sake of this I'm saying it is. So as far as body parts go he's definitely missing his legs knee and under. I think he's wearing armor over his thighs though, he has intact femurs. He's missing his right arm and there's some kind of internal damage in his upper chest.
His eye piece comes off seperate to his mouth piece but that doesn't mean his mouth is robotic, I just think he takes the mask part off less often. His head and heart are all intact according to voice lines and evidence from skins.
Now might I direct your attention to his canon skins. We know from the short "Dragons" that those green circles on his upper body have a release mechanism meaning they manage pressure of some kind within his body.
(We can also see there's less of them in his OW2 design so it's a possibility they got upgraded to be more efficient.)
Now I'm about to lay down my biggest actual headcanon without much evidence besides speculation and "it'd be cool" to back it up.
I think Genji has robotic lungs.
WILD TAKE I KNOW BUT HEAR ME OUT.
He can eat, heard in the voice line about him being able to handle mercy's coffee, so we know his mouth is intact, along with the rest of his digestive system. I think the mouth part of his mask is to help him breathe. I think there was major damage to his respiratory system to the point where they had to make the choice to give him mechanical replacements, hence the need to release pressure when he exerts a LOT of energy (like after his fight with hanzo in the cinematic).
He breathes in game, so we know he needs lungs. Which makes sense if most of his main organs are intact. If the main damage was to his lungs, they could give him robotic ones. And my claim of them not giving him a lung transplant is supported by the fact that Mauga was given a second CYBERNETIC heart instead of a replacement when he was critically injured.
Also in the Doomfist origin cinematic when he threw Genji into a car he started sparking and held his chest, which I know may just be "oh he's a robot of course" written off, but it'd make sense if it was his lungs!! It would put him out of a fight if he can't supply oxygen to the rest of his body. Plus it would hurt him in his chest!
Going off of this, he can definitely breathe without the mask and obviously would need to take it off to eat (he has a lot of scarring on his throat I think, and maybe his jaw) but the mask hides the scar tissue and helps regulate his breathing more naturally. Now I'm not a doctor so this next part may make no sense, and let me know if it does but maybe the mask is connected to his lungs in like a nervous system kind of way? Since they wouldn't be connected to his nervous system entirely? So when he takes the mask off he has to manually breathe. Like the mask regulates it for him so he can do it subconsciously but without the mask it's a conscious manual breathing situation.
And my only real arguments for him not having a robotic heart instead of lungs is his voice line that says "The heart of a man still beats inside of me." Which of course could be metaphorical, "I'm still the same man, just with a different body." Kind of thing, but also he just never takes off that freaking mouth piece so I was thinking it had to serve a purpose!
Lol I'll get to work on my headcanons now but let me know what y'all think of this 🙏
Thought on being Genji's first love after his accident.
After coming to terms with his new body under Zenyatta's guide, he still never really put himself put there. Back before Genji always had someone to spend time with, he never was as alone as he was now. He always had a girlfriend or many people he spoke to, but now it's just him and a body he still didn't really like to look at. He more focused on training, meditation and any missions overwatch sent him on.
That was until the new overwatch recruit came along, they were friendly and treated him like a human. He enjoyed talking to them, either training alongside them or a quick wave when they passed by. He felt his heart quicken a little bit when they were near but he pushed those feelings down, nobody could love something like him right?
Soon enough him and that new recruit would spend time outside of overwatch, getting lunch together or him walking them home. With enough convincing, he would eventually show his face to them. Removing the helmet willingly for once, his face was so pretty you couldn't help but admire it. Genji felt embarrassed, scars were everywhere and he didn't like to think about them.
He reached for his mask again but you caught his hand, stopping him from covering his face again. He relented and let you touch his face, his cheeks were dusted a soft pink and he averted your gaze.
"I don't know why you cover your face, it's very handsome."
His blush deepened, he tried to reply but he couldn't think of any words. You realized what you said but before you could apologize he spoke.
"Thank you.. I. I never expected to hear that.."
He smiled softly, he took your hand in his.
"Especially not from someone as beautiful as you."
Genji never thought he would be called handsome again, but maybe this was the beginning of something new.
Cayde x reader
Summary: he may be all lights and metal but he’s human on the inside.
Warnings: none really
Sorry about my daryl fest like its a bad obession 😂 xD
A hunter always alone working in the wilds living for that rush. You werent like the other classes you felt out of place odd one from the pack. The other hunters seemed just fine but you were always quiet and discrete. Heading to the vangaurds Cayde had a mission for you.
“Cayde?” Youasked quietly as he spun around.
“Ah y/n yes right oh come with me” you frowned following your teacher. He led you to the ships landing as you both got inside a ship and he flew off.
“Cayde where are we going?” Your ghost asked.
Somewhere" he said playfull making you roll your eyes. You always liked the Exo but always shoved feelings deep inside you knowing it wouldn’t do you any good. You dont know where he was taking you somewhere knew on earth. You both dropped out the ship going to land you frowned seeing a white stag.
“Why did you bring me here?” You asked. You frowned seeing more stags around it, it was the odd one out.
“You know when i see you, your always off to one side never worling with anyone unless you have to, like i know hunters do that i mean look at me, but your different” he sais as you sighed was it really that noticable.
“Im sorry” you said he turned to you shaking his head.
“Dont be” he said.
“I come here sometimes to think ya know i know crazy right even for me, anyway you see the big boy over there white as snow” you nodded.
“That’s what i see when i see you you may be different but your special” he added as you felt a small blush creeping to your face.
“Cayde what are you getting at?” You pushed your ghost away as Cayde chuckled.
“Your not different in anyway y/n honestly your one of the best hunters I’ve seen maybe better then me, but your light shines brighter then the rest and strike me down but hell, im in love with you” you were frozen by his confession staring at his face.
“Hello?” He asked.
“Still with me?” You nodded as he sighed in relief.
“I know crazy right a Vangaurd falling for a guardian i mean just kill me now like seri-” you shut him up embracing him tightly as he froze.
“Well that was unexpected” he said.
“Don’t ruin it” you muttered.
“Right sorry” he hugged you back a smile on your face as you kissed his horn.
“Did you just kiss my horn?” He asked you nodded giggling.
“So im going to take that as you return my feelings” you nodded as his face lit up picking you up and spinning you around making you laugh.
“Ah man best day ever” he said triumphantly you rolled your eyes.
“Sorry I’ll shut up” you smiled shaking your head.
“I love you to Cayde” you said he stared at you with awe.
“Thank you for bringing me here” you said he fumbled nodding.
“Yeah i mean like no problem and yeah” you chuckled again as his ghost talked.
“He’s an idiot” you laughed at his ghost as he face palmed.
“I swear you come in at the worst times” he muttered.
“Cayde look at me” he snapped his head to you seeing your calm soft face.
“I love you Cayde-6 nothing’s going to change that i just hope we can work this out” you said.
“I will make it work i make everything work” you laughed again giving him a hug as hw sighed embracing you. It would work out.
(Although Cayde, the Exo that we all know and love, died in the expansion Forsaken, I am ignoring the fact that Forsaken exists. In this story, Cayde does not go to prison to help Petra Venj.) Silence was all that she slowly woke up to. (Y/N)’s eyes fluttered open as she stared at the window across from her. Her eyebrows scrunched up in confusion when she did not hear any form of chaos outside. (Y/N) sighed in relief after slowly remembering that the war with Ghaul and the Red Legion was over. It was rare to wake up with pure silence ever since Ghaul recked havoc. Every day, (Y/N) used to wake up to gunshots and blood-curling screams from either the enemies, the guardians, or the regular civilians. Every now and again, she will wake up in cold sweat from the nightmares that she would have from the deaths of almost everyone around her. If it wasn’t for Cayde-6, she would have died during the Red Legion’s attack. Even after Cayde saved (Y/N) from the attack, he still checked in on her every time he had a chance to and she was thankful. A smile graced her features as she thinks of all the times Cayde would frantically rush into her room at the farm, almost tripping on his own feet as he grabbed both sides of her face and continually ask her “Is everything okay!?”, “Has anyone hurt you!?”, “Did you eat any of my ramen while I was gone!?”. Moments like those always help (Y/N) when she panics from seeing hallucinations of the multiple dead bodies that she encountered in the city months ago. She even saw her best friend’s body lying lifeless in the pile of corpses. Although her friend was a Guardian and could revive with the help of his ghost, it seemed that his ghost was destroyed beside his body. It pained (Y/N) to see the people that she grew up together with to disappear from her life within a day. The only person that she was really close to that survived was Cayde-6 himself. Cayde has been in her life for six years and asked her to be his girlfriend three years ago. Ever since (Y/N) came to The Tower six years ago for her job as an assistant to the Speaker, Cayde seemed to be fond of her presence and she never understood as to why. She never spoke unless spoken to and stayed to herself most of the time. Even though (Y/N) would be shy around Cayde and try to leave if she felt uncomfortable, Cayde found one way for her to relax around him and that was his terrible jokes. She believes that what made her first fall for him.
A groan erupted behind (Y/N) as a robotic arm lazily lays itself over her waist. It causes her to snap out of her thoughts as she turns her head slightly to see the loving Exo, Cayde, behind her. His eyes cracked open slightly, revealing his light aqua blue eyes. Cayde’s hunter cloak was detached from him, so his full head was revealed as he continues to lay it on the pillow beneath him. His arm, no longer lazily laying over (Y/N)’s waist, gently tightens his grip around her waist causing her form to be pulled closer to his. Cayde gently placed his forehead by the back of (Y/N)’s head, moving his head a bit upwards to not hit her with his horn. These small gestures caused (Y/N) to sigh in contempt, alerting Cayde of her awakening. “You awake, sleeping beauty?” Cayde tiredly asks as he raises his head up to look over at (Y/N)’s face. Cayde always admits that every day he sees (Y/N), she seems to become more beautiful and his statement still stayed the same as he stared at her tired frame. Her messy morning hair was laid out on her pillow as dried up drool stuck to the corner of her mouth. She may have looked like a complete mess to other people but to him, she was his beautiful mess. Cayde saw (Y/N) move her head up and down, signaling that she is in fact awake. The couple continues to lay in each other’s comfort as the sweet sound of birds begins to serenade from outside (Y/N)’s home in The Tower. It’s not every day that Cayde could relax like he is now. Usually, he would be having a meeting with Zavala and Ikora, assigning missions to the Hunter Guardians, and selling said Guardians armor, weapons, scout reports, and maps. Cayde has sometimes sneaked out to visit (Y/N) when she is either working or at the comfort of her own home. Both of them has been working a lot harder lately since the city and The Tower was still being repaired from the attack by the Red Legion. Cayde has been helping to clear out the rest of the enemies from the city, as well as his regular duties. Cayde is happy that he has been able to go out in the field but he has had barely any time to relax. After The Speaker died, (Y/N) took his place and although it doesn’t seem like much work, she has been having to advise all of the Guardians, keeping in check on Saint-14, and selling legendary class items to the Guardians. She has also been helping with the repairs of The Tower and the city. So, when Cayde and (Y/N) have time for themselves, they spend it with each other. Either they stay at (Y/N)’s home relaxing or going to Cayde’s favorite ramen shop. After laying in comfort beside each other for a couple of minutes, Cayde sits up stretching both of his arms over his head as he groans tiredly. Feeling Cayde’s arm being removed from her waist, (Y/N) stands up from her bed and makes her way to her window. As she pushes her curtains apart, she is greeted by a beautiful view. The sky has a mixture of both blue and yellow and the sun is still making its way up over the horizon. The Traveler looks even more beautiful as the sun wraps its light around it. Lately, the sky has been filled with dark clouds as heavy rain would pour down onto the earth. Seeing soft white clouds and the sun shining brightly today made (Y/N) smile. Turning around towards Cayde, she tries to stifle a laugh as she sees her loving Exo pose in a “sexy” position, with his right hand propping up his head and his left leg bent upwards as he faces her with amusement in his eyes. Using his free hand, he motions for (Y/N) to come forward. She happily obliges as she teasingly sways her hips as she makes her way over to the Exo. Once she was of arms reach, Cayde gently grabs a hold of her wrist and pulls her into the bed. Cayde wraps an arm around her form once again as he softly places half of his body on top of her, hoping to not hurt her in the process. As Cayde gently lay on her while burying his face into the crook of her neck, (Y/N) wrapped her arms around his torso as she leans her head closer to him. The silence continued to grow as the couple continued to lay in each other’s embrace. A few minutes of silence were interrupted by (Y/N) quietly stating, “You know we have to get up soon for work, right?” Her statement caused the Gunslinger to groan in protest as his arm tightens around her form. “What if we both called in sick?” Cayde asks with a bit of amusement and some hope in his voice as (Y/N) laughs saying, “You know very well that there is no such thing as sick days for us” “It’ll be worth a shot.” Cayde’s statement causes (Y/N) to laugh in amusement. “It would be worth it” she yawns tiredly as she tightens her arms around Cayde’s torso “, but Zavala and Ikora would be looking for us later on when they notice that we are not at our posts. Ikora may not mind as much but Zavala would be furious. Remember the last time when you snuck out just so you could eat at the spicy ramen shop?” Both of them remembered very well what happened on that day. When Zavala saw that Cayde was not at his post, he searched all over the tower for Cayde. He even dragged (Y/N) around, asking her where he may be. They finally found Cayde at the spicy ramen shop eating bowls after bowls of ramen as he was telling the shop owner a story about fighting the Fallen. Seeing this caused Zavala to be enraged. He dragged Cayde by the back of his cloak as Cayde was trying to ask (Y/N) to free him from Zavala’s clutches. After that day, Zavala kept a close eye on him, much to Cayde’s displeasure. “I still think he made me trip with my own cloak on purpose” Cayde adds as he moves his head to where his chin was propped on his chin on (Y/N)’s shoulder. “Maybe he wouldn’t have if you stopped trying to walk in the other direction while he had a hold of you cloak still, you wouldn’t have had tripped.” (Y/N) sassily states as she stares at the Exo amusingly while he tries to pout at her comment. “I didn’t get to finish my last bowl of ramen! What was I supposed to do? Leave it on the table and let some stranger eat my well-paid meal? I don’t think so.” “I went back and put it in a to-go box for you!” (Y/N) says while grinning at Caye’s disbelieving expression. “I may love my ramen but when it gets cold, it becomes less appetizing! Have you ever eaten cold ramen!?” “Yes, I have. It doesn’t taste that bad.” (Y/N) pokes Cayde where his nose would be and he looks at her with an unamused face. “You, my dear, are a weird lady.” he calmly states amusingly as he watches a smile grow on (Y/N)’s face. “You’re weird too.” Silence filled the room once again as Cayde thinks for a moment before saying “Touché.” (Y/N) smiles lovingly at Cayde as she moves her face closer to his as she gives him a soft kiss on his robotic chin. Cayde closes his eyes and he switches the position of his head with his robotic cheek laying on her shoulder. “Just five more minutes, please?” Cayde begs quietly. (Y/N) doesn’t usually hear Cayde beg like this. Usually, when he does beg it’s when he wants them to sneak out of the tower and to the city, going to the ramen shop, or wanting to show her something cool while she is working. So when she heard the sincere pleading tiredness in his voice, she was a bit surprised. (Y/N) thinks for a moment before sighing as she says “Fine, only five minutes. I don’t want you to get in trouble with Zavala again.” Cayde smiles happily as he switches positions with her to where he is now laying on his back and she is laying on top of him. He wraps his robotic arms around her as (Y/N) lays her hand on his chest. “Thank you, my queen.” Cayde tiredly says as he closes his eyes. (Y/N) smiles lovingly before closing her eyes as well, listening to the faint noises coming from Cayde’s robotic body. Not long after, both Cayde and (Y/N) blissfully fall asleep in each other’s arms. They both wish they had more time to spend with each other. With work piling up for both of them, they never have much time to do what they want to do. Times like these though is what they cherish the most. Although Cayde and (Y/N) cannot spend as much time together like they want to, they are still happy with the fact that they can at least have moments where they can hold each other for a little while…until Zavala comes and ruins it.

warning - none
✎ He often has his human arm around you. Since he only takes off his mask very little, he can't kiss you, instead he holds you close to him.
✎ If you are part of Overwatch or Blackwatch, he trains you to be sure of your skills and that you do not get hurt.
✎ When he was still fully human, he loved that you trace the scars on his body. He fell more and more in love with you each time. Now you can only trace the ones on his arm but he's still happy when you do.
✎ Like I said above, he doesn't often take off his mask, but when he does it's only when he's with you and he always gently kisses your lips.
✎ Zenyatta loves you very much and he is happy that you make his student happy.
✎ Cuddling with him isn't the most comfortable thing but you always find a way to make yourself comfortable and above all the most important thing is that you spend time together.
✎ Kiss his whole face telling him he's handsome when he takes off his mask and he'll be the happiest man in the world. He may even drop a tear or two.
✎ You hardly ever argue, the only times is when you put yourself in danger and as he was afraid for you he got angry.
✎ You were in a relationship with him when he was human except that after his fight with Hanzo you also thought he was dead so you cried a lot after that. When he returned to his cyborg form with only one arm and his head remaining human you were quite happy and shocked.
