Happy Valentine's, here's some stobotnik valentines cards through the movies, tried to edit some dialogue to make it more valentines-y but honestly I barely had to edit some of them
Some small details under the cut
The to and from parts change over time along with their relationship:
For robotniks cards:
Stone goes from Barnacle → Agent stone (as Robotnik starts to appreciate him more) → Stone (as he becomes robotniks equal)
Robotnik goes from You know (doesn't want to tie his name into anything and it's also just his usual sarcastic remark) → God (for obvious reasons) → Robotnik (They're equals but saying Ivo seems too personal for him, or at least too soon. Ties his name into the card also)
I tried to make the handwriting for his second card more unstable/insane though I don't think I did it very well. His last card he uses the same pen as stone.
Stones cards:
Robotnik goes from Dr. Robotnik (Formal, normal) → Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Stone didn't know if he'd ever get to write his name again. The handwriting is somewhat shakier.) → Ivo (Yes yes we get it they're equals)
Stone's stays at agent stone for the first two mostly because he doesn't really develop anything in terms of how close they are. It's stone in the last one just because he starts to know that they don't quite have the same superior-henchman relationship.
Honestly the quotes don't have much behind them, I went for dialogue instead of pick up lines just cause why not and so it would be more stobotnik-y. The last quote Robotnik has though is fairly aromantic coded just for my own indulgence. I did struggle with stones quotes as most of them are "sir you're magnificent" "you're basic" "are you afraid of g-ghosts?" "sir you're back!" Which are very difficult to edit. That's more or less why his first card is more of a response than a quote
Stone ends up developing the same smile as Robotnik over time, and he's a lot more expressive compared to the second card because he becomes more comfortable. (The first card is an outlier for obvious reasons)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 🥚🪨 ❤️
I wanted to post something cute af today BUT IM NOT FINISHED YET so here's a WIP
THESE SCENES THAT WERE DELETED FROM THE MOVIE BRO like are you kidding we were literally robbed ⁉️
So a REPO! The Genetic Opera song came on shuffle and i still have Stobotnik brainworms so you know what that means!!!!
Stobotnik repo au!!!
The story starts similarly; widespread organ failure. Robotnik is content to watch humanity crumble; they never gave a shit about him anyway, maybe this is all just karmic retribution. He doesn't consider for a second that he could get sick, because he hardly considers himself human anymore.
And he doesn't get sick.
But Stone does.
One of Stone's organs starts to fail, and as much as Robotnik constantly claims he only keeps Stone around because he's convenient, because he hasn't figured out how to program a Badnik to do everything Stone does, the very real possibility of losing Stone terrifies Robotnik. And he doesn't have time to analyze why because Stone is dying, and he has to fix that.
And he does, because of course he does. If anyone was going to find a solution to this problem, it would be Robotnik, he'd just have to be convinced to find it. And the impending death of the one person who has stuck by his side despite everything is a very strong motivator.
So he invents fully artificial organs. They function just like real organs, and the body won't reject them because they're not made of human tissue. They're robotic. Cybernetic replacements, if you will. And once he gets one in Stone, once the other man is up on his feet and functioning just the same as, if not better than, before, it hits Ivo.
This is how he can have humanity in the palm of his hand.
Who better to rule the world than the one man who saved it?
It wouldn't take much convincing. The powers that be are desperate to stop what is rapidly looking to be an extinction event. They'd accept any terms Robotnik would set forth, because his invention is the only solution that has worked! So when he puts an end to their overflowing gratitude by revealing the catch -- the creation of these artificial organs is going to be very very expensive, you know, and i ask you, who's going to foot the bill? -- of course they'd go along with charging the sick for their own cure. Oh, but he's not a monster, you see! If they can't pay, he'd be more than willing to loan the money!
But he is a monster, and the contract is signed in blood. Default on your loans, and Robotnik Co. will retrieve what is rightfully theirs.
And who better to do the dirty work than a man who was already unwaveringly loyal before Ivo had saved his life? Stone needs no black mail, needs no motivator. Whatever the Doctor wills, he will carry it out with no questions, no complaints. The very heart in his chest belonged to Robotnik metaphorically long before it did literally.
It's not long before word of The Repo Man starts to spread. People are wondering when the other shoe will drop, when they will find out what happens when the contract is breached and someone misses a payment. And then they hear someone's mother's cousin was butchered in the night. Robotnik Co had given him new lungs, but he lost his job and he couldn't afford his payment plan. He defaulted. The next morning, his family found him with his chest torn open, ribs cracked and his artificial lungs missing.
Word spreads rapidly. Humanity has finally learned what happens when you cross Robotnik. Default on your loan, and The Repo Man will reclaim the Doctor's property.
The Repo Man would do anything for the Doctor. You can plead, you can cry, beg, bargain for your life. But nothing you have could ever sway him, because Stone serves one and only one. And if that one wishes for you to be eviscerated with no remorse, then you will be. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when.
God help you if you can't pay. No one has ever outrun The Repo Man.
yuri dump… i truly cannot decide how i want my post mushroom planet fembotnik to look. trying out lots of things
Late night Stobotnik doodles~
This too is Stobotnik.
This was part of a longer comic but I saw something so weirdly similar that Im just gonna post them cuddling instead. LOL
Cuddling part 2 w/ Scrubnik Knuckles doesnt forgive Rob for wanting to ditch Stone. Stone would never.
Stone gets lost in another Robotniks world... They become friends. (Stone still wants his Doctor back but this is fine for now..)
Shadow plays reluctant wingman to some bald idiot. Robotnik never had anyone love him. He doesnt know what it looks like.
'I'll save the world just for you' vs 'Just save yourself.' Is diabolical work from the Sonic movie writers..
streamer au is canon, i‘ve heard?
A weekly habit
(Dying robotniks hair black for sm1)
guys... what if he was- y'know, a creep AND a weirdo ANyway I'm choosing to believe that one-off comment he made in the first movie about being bullied as a kid is actually a fundamental part of what shaped his philosophies and attitudes towards other people
Listen........ I know the "autistic mad scientist with a special interest in robots" trope is getting old, BUT........
That motherfucker makes bzzzt noises in random places and has "dance breaks" there's no way around that
Genuinely, and I need you to understand how genuine I'm being, I could actually write an entire essay on how Robotnik being autistic changes and deepens his character so much and makes him one of if not the most compelling characters I've been privy to!!!! He's so!!!!!!!!! Ugh I need a hobby
You know what? Screw you! *jayviks your stobotnik*
