Coil Thing

not meant to be ship art , but I don't really mind if y'all see it as skatebox

It amused me

i'm not much of an artist but its the thought that counts lol

say hi all you like (-:

reblog for reach if you post about phighting i need to know the seriousness of the beans

what if coil got turned into werecoil because subspace was like "hmmm this Kid keeps stealing my crap...... and my Biogafts cant catch them........ what if i put out Bait.........." and subspace makes The Crystals that TUrn you into an Animal and they look similar to the Power Energy crystals and subspace puts them in the same spot as the old crystals and coil steals them and then coil distributes the new Crystals that TUrn you into an Animal throughout Playground and then tries one on themself and then they turn into werecoil and then a lot of playgrounders turn into different animals and when the crystals melt/wear off then they turn back into normal inphernals but coil actually likes being werecoil for a plethora of reasons (better agility/use of body on heists, also because they are a furry) so coil studies the new crystals and creates some of their own and learns how to create crystals and because they now know how to make the Crystals that TUrn you into an Animal they can now make the Power Energy crystals and then they don't need to break into blackrock anymore and subspace is just pissed she's like "what!!!!!!!!! that was supposed to be bait that wasn't .....AAGGGHHHH!!!!!!!" and then subspace personally sends like 40 biografts over to playground to go locate the Freak that just learned how to make her crystals and then Coil is like "tch..... she's no match for me" and then goes beast mode and turns into Werecoil and then slimes out EVERY biograft and subspace is like "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" because subspace was actually also there using gammagraft to move and got slimed out in the process and then subspace dies and werecoil goes to blackrock with Wolf and they both mug the shit out of the korblox factory and then everyone has crystals now #Yay

"Now you've pissed me off!!"

Coil's ego is FRAGILE okay. He was discarded from Splintered Skies, he viewed himself as weak and useless and disgraced, and while Wolf was raising and training him, she likely only furthered that lack of self worth. Literally her only dialogue is her telling him that he is disgraceful and tainted. Not much reading between the lines here

Coil is in active danger constantly. He is hiding from law enforcement. He is enemies with a major player in a foreign government and is committing international crime. Medically speaking he's experimenting on himself and pushing himself past his limits DAILY.

Time for the random paragraph where I push the reading too far but I headcanon him as disabled. Severe chronic fatigue + pain and the body modifications are helping him temporarily but WILL kill him in the long run.

And he doesn't. Love himself. And it's not a big deal, he's not self loathing, he's not actively TRYING to get himself hurt, but he doesn't respect himself.

But. He has friends. Even though he's rude and annoying and useless, Skateboard is always there for him. Boombox is always there for him. Even Slingshot (and yes I know they're not friends canonically go away I'm having fun) is always there for him, even if they get on each others nerves.

And he has to pick between this. Deep-seeded NEED to prove himself, to always push himself past his limits even if it kills him, and his genuine desire for emotional connection.

Coil is not emotional. He's fucking silly. He doesn't WANT to be psychoanalyzed and really THINK about what he's doing. If Coil wants to live, and he wants to have friends, and he wants to be happy, he has to go through the most embarrassing process of his life, the process of letting his ego die, letting himself let go of the persona, he has to be serious and genuine for once, and that is. HARD.

AND I WONDER. WOULD HE BE ABLE TO? I think about this all the time....
