(familial/platonic) more sketches of shadow integrating into the fam🫶🏽
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.
Some more Stobotnik doodles.
Stone gets comfortable with Game!Rob and Game!Rob is appreciating the ego stroking.
Should I have waited to clean up doodle comic ideas of Movie!Rob coming to get his Stone back before Posting super unpolished Game!Stone in a cell.... Perhaps.
Game!Stone appreciates being a kept man. Also Stones little fangs.
Tails got caught up in the romance and whimsy. Forgive him.
Just thinkin about Rob lacing his own fingers together when trying to bond with his grandfather only for his grandfather to really show what unconditional love is and then deny him.
But at least he understands now
S1vS3 The Ivos hate each other.
Another victim of my inability to draw motorcycles.
Smooch.
Happy early Valentines day, have something completely out of my wheelhouse! I wasn't joking in my previous comic, Stobotnik has me in a stranglehold (though as a heads up to anyone who doesn't follow me: I don't expect I'll be making more, I'm sorry 😔This is definitely a one-off)
Going through some old art of mine got me missing doing stylized, cartoony stuff so I thought this would be a good opportunity to push myself to bring some of that back into my life. Unfortunately the universe had it out for this thing and tried to stop me with pneumonia (it failed HAH) and every time I got closer to finishing it, I got struck with a new, more hellish stage of illness. I had 2 other panels I wanted to do for this and just had to tap out early😭
TFW your evil gay uncles think they can fakeout makeout you but one of them is 6 ft+ and wearing bright red.
Who needs sleep when Ive had 2 large iced coffees and 2 bowls of coffee ice cream... Its all coming together.
Stobotnik doodles~
Territorial.
Do it for HIM but the 'it' is murder.
Stobotniks All three Robotniks thinking 'Wow these people are so weird... Thank god im the normal one.'
The eras
Lovingly married Stobotnik. (Hypothetical S4 Ivo wearing his old Stone-patched jacket like a bathrobe)
Ivo tests if hes still got it. (Easy Mode)
Erm erm erm @panic-flavored mermaid! Stobotnik au… fanart…….
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
Some more Stobotnik doodles...
Someone on Twit asked for this to be drawn so... While I was buzzed up on some iced coffee i did and then I left for ever. As one does.
Ivo refused to cuddle but their new son decided its free real estate.
Stone🤝Shadow Bikes Robotniks Coffee Black
Theyre practically twins.
I still cant draw motorcycles...
This is an old draw meme... but I cant find the original picture anymore... just a fanart version of it... Anyways ruby vs emerald shibari ya? LOL Ivo has his favorite precious Stone regardless.
Just some games is all. Games with your best friend in the whole wide world that might get blown up if theyre missing a rock.
Kiss the pebble. Bite the pebble. Stick the pebble in your tiddies.
I just know Stone had to be hurting after getting tumble polished in the crab (then I thought about him getting an elbow to the chest trying to cuddle so I made it drama.) I just dont think the yaoi is gonna be that toxic if/when Ivo gets back... cuz he obviously thought Stone was like everyone else so thats why he bullied Stone but now he knows Stone really does love him.
Ivo tries to flirt Stone style. Its super effective.
DND style Stobotnik.
I was reluctant to change Stones eyes because his big brown eyes are his charm point(for me)... HOWEVER I gave him red eyes to match Ivos other 'tools' but also gave Ivo purple shades à la Xibalba/La Muerte from TBoL... 'They only have eyes for each other.'
Also I know Elves arent supposed to be able to grow facial hair but thats dumb. Tieflings werent supposed to be technicolor either but here we are... if we all elect to ignore it elves can have facial hair.
Drawing Tiefling Stone made me think of Nightcrawler.... so...
