Bunnie Rabbot

I actually wrote four comic pages fer this one, but Imma get back to y'all with the last two.

The layers of Bunnie Rabbot

Tough - The side of her that most see. She's the tough as nails cyborg Freedom Fighter that hits hard. In a world of techno-tyrants and robophobes, Bunnie has to be on her guard. As a Freedom Fighter she has to be ready for a fight. From her humble upbringing with Uncle Beauregard, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and partake in more "masculine" labor, be it as a farmhand, construction, and so on. Despite this mostly being a front, she does value her toughness and her altered abilities, going as far as wishing to re-roboticize herself after getting de-roboticized by Naugus so that she can be a force to be reckoned with again, although this also overlaps with her insecurity.

Sassy - One of Bunnie's underappreciated aspects is her sarcasm. As early as her very first on-screen appearance she's cracking wise at how useless Antoine is behaving. She's usually this way with people who push her patience or when she just can't help it.

Sweet - Probably the trait Bunnie gets Flanderized with the most, but for good reason. We mostly see Bunnie from the perspective of her friends, and those are the people who she's the most sweet and kind to since she trusts them. She doesn't have to put up her tough facade around them unless they need to rely on her. This can overlap with her sass in the form of playful jokes. If she didn't have to worry about prejudice and techno-tyrants, Bunnie would have this as her outermost layer. She loves her friends. This layer and the next two are honestly interchangeable in their position, but it's placed here due to visibility to more of the other characters.

Free Spirit - Bunnie's a principled Freedom Fighter. She believes in the cause beyond petty loyalties (unlike characters like Geoffrey and early Antoine). She's Sally's best friend despite her beloved and generally supportive father figure Uncle Beau hating the Acorn Royal Family. She simply does what she wants. This often overlaps with her sweet side and her sassy sense of humor with her flirtatiousness and dirty jokes.

I'm up to somethin

Been havin ideas for an alternate route for Rabbot the Red where it gets even worse n it's been in my head rent free so have some conceptual sketches.

Rabbot the Red's robians that haven't had their minds jailbroken are even more zombie-like than in vanilla SATAM/Archie, especially when they become worn out and broken down from constant, unending work. In this state of disrepair, they make for a good n cruel portable roboticization solution.

It's kind of like Metal Virus if it was more controlled, and the roboticization process it causes is more like in Bunnie's Nightmare from Archie. It's a feature in subjects that are fully roboticized by Robotnik. The nanites that make it happen are transmittable through bites instead of touch for the sake of control (and pain).

The really cruel part is that, much like in the source material, they still have their minds. They're fully aware, but have no ability to control themselves. They're left to witness themselves being worked til breaking and their bodies continuing to shamble around til they can't. After that point, they're processed into metal for construction and Badnik/SWATbot production.

Been workin on RtR Robotnik concepts cause I felt the design I already had needed to be more unhinged and creepy. A deceptive man hungry for power twisted by his own greed and hatred.

Also this was funny

The Sonic vs. Tails bit was funny to me?? Like seeing Tails emote like this is really out of pocket when you're used to him barely being expressive at all. It's cute, like a bunny thumping. Cute, but you still feel a lil bad about it lol

Also him making up with Sonic was cute <3

Shit was turnin into somethin out of this blog's AU for a bit lmao

Really glad that it was Sally who took charge n sorted it all out in a productive manner n changed things for the better. Brings her back to proving her worth as a leader, cause frankly she's way better than her dad and brother are at this lmao

And honestly the Council of Acorn makes way more sense for the Freedom Fighters than some stuffy king and his traditions undermining their actual leader (Sally!)
