Astro Boy art (MOTM version) this does go into the lore for Atom. I know it'll be better to subtly explain his story and my thoughts but I'm more of a lore dump and change it each time type of person.

So tell me if you guys want the whole story all shoved into one post or just be given small posts about it here and there

😛🙏

Atom in Myth would be a very interesting character, he'd mainly be in the background but his story still holds importance.

His Creator/Father The Mad Doctor had created him not to bring back his dead son but to create a powerful killing machine in the form of a child, because who would harm an innocent kid. At the end of the Mad War The Mad Doctor had decided to leave Atom behind as a failed project, later found by the Stars.

The Stars are all very distrustful and cautious of Atom because of his background, he looks and acts like an innocent child but his entire body is considered a dangerous weapon. The only Star to actually fully treat Atom like a child and person is Mario, even with the other Stars warning to stay away from him.

He was given to Bugs by default and tends to follow him around. He is also very heavily supervised, though it's basically like babysitting. Atom does have a little sister and brother named Uran & Cobalt, they were created to try and replicate Atom's blueprints but it wasn't too successful.

(he's friends with Tails, Toodles, and Mario. Everyone else keeps their distance)

She's supposed to have doll-like features but is very stretchy like a toon. (I looked at her concept art and she was more doll-like + she's based on Rebecca Sugar's old stuff toy)

Spinel was a child when she was left alone in a park waiting for her mother, she never returned. Afterwards she was constantly being placed in different families and homes but always ended up fighting herself alone in that same place... She was always an energetic and playful kid so she threw herself into the entertainment industry to make others smile. She was a Candidate for the Department of Entertainment but ultimately lost to Pomni (who was popular with the crowd and was endorsed by Kinger). She still works in the Department but under Pomni.

Steven Universe is semi-cannon in this world but with less trauma on Stevens side. The Diamonds are Celestials and Rose Quartz is a war hero (like Kettle).

I would explain the whole thing but I just wanted to show my art and idea for now.

Anyways I've seemed to have gotten really into Myth of The Machine and being as chronically online as I am, I wanted to see everyone else's guess on this.

I've noticed that there seems to be bad blood between Felix and Oswald, and there's many reasons why they have such a complicated relationship. Plus there's only two(-ish) chapters out so of course we don't have too much information.

But still I want to see what others have to say on their relationship.

(my "evidence")

If anyone has anything else to add on to this please feel free to say so, I'm still new to posting on here.

(Edit:)

Yeah so a few days ago I saw this ask and was thinking about how I could put this into the whole Felix and Oswald thing. But since they haven't been shown again lately. (Which means I don't have much to go by yet..)

Felix is a Star but turned to work for Mickey (who isn't the best boss) and yet has a dislike for Oswald whilst trying to get his job (it was said that Felix would get a promotion if he got the map, so he was trying to take Oswald's job even if he was unaware of the position).

The other ask is one about Shelly that adds in a little detail of Felix at the end. It's curious to what counts as a higher priority to Felix than the Ink Machine, maybe he's hiding something.
