Quick doodle for @shatter-song

Huge dork and their impossibly strong zen boyfriend

Ah. Well, there's three reasons for it.

First was that I thought Barrolin (Barry x Lanolin) was cute. I didn't get too into it, but the idea of the short, timid, wet blanket of a character getting together with a hardass that would kill for them was nice.

Second was that Bighty (Mighty x Barry) grew on me almost immediately after @themightyhumanbroom coined it. Again, strongest mofucker around protects the pathetic little quokka with his life. It's genious.

But neither of those ships felt like OTP's for me. They were cute, but I had no real interest in shipping it either way...until I realized something.

Lanolin and Mighty are strong but hotheaded characters. For different reasons, leading to different personalities, but one is also a free spirit type like Sonic whereas the other is a workaholic, by the books type. They are the exact opposite despite being so similar...and that would be so funny to pair up with that pathetic little quokka that they both love.

Bodyswap Barry and mighty.

"Huh. So this is what having fur is like," Mighty said, moving his hands through Barry's hair tufts, "Kinda nice. Though, not a big fan of being this short again..."

So I've got a few questions for you.

Is your obsession with trash cans stemming from your deep seated recognition that you are a failure as an individual?

Do you try to give every insignificant thing worth to justify your petty existence? Your inadequacies are at war with those few 'virtues' you have, and those virtues are pathetic.

Oh, and by the way; stop dreaming about hooking up with anyone. Mighty and Lanolin have standards.

...what is that ringing?

With a double punch right to the head, Lanolin and Mighty domed the anon straight through several walls. Barry stepped back in fright before staring at them.

“No one gets to say things like that to you,” Lanolin growled, “I didn’t even hear the last thing they said, but it doesn’t matter.”

“Heh. Must be all the wool clogging up your ears,” Mighty snickered.

“I’d punch you,” Lanolin scowled, “But it wouldn’t be nearly as satisfying as punching that anon.”

“Ha! True that. I didn’t hear the last thing they said either, so I’ve no ground to stand on.”
