#my self-inserts

As a follow-up to my post about shipping my self-inserts, my partner wanted to know which of my self-inserts would NOT get along, so here's a few of them!

Rick and Morty s/i + Stormlight s/i: my Rick and Morty self-insert is one of my only s/is who does believe that shooting people can make the world a better place, and my Stormlight s/i is very much on the pacifist side of things.

Hellaverse + Slasher Parent: I think my demon!s/i would be a bit of a threat to the Orphanage, mostly just in mischief, but they would unsettle the dynamics and would not be welcome

League of Villains + Vampire!Echo: both are at the center of messy polycules and they occupy a bit of the same space, and they would be soooo threatened by each other. They would have a very toxic relationship.

So during the hype train of people freaking out that they can now put in their Sonic OC, I haven’t had the chance to share my Sonic Forces avatar yet, A.K.A. my Sonic OC/self-insert plsdonutsteel (seriously, he’s my OC. Please don’t copy or steal my character.)

Backstory: 6 months after Sonic’s disappearance, Bolt joined the quickly formed Resistance led by Knuckles. Bolt became the third-in-command shortly after Sonic’s return, since Knuckles is lead command and Sonic being second. During the 6 months, he became the scout on the front lines gathering intel from Eggman’s armies and labs on weapons and Sonic’s whereabouts. With his skills and abilities, Bolt is able to take on various Badniks, Eggpawns, and more on his own and his squad, meaning his bite hurts more than his bark. After Sonic, Classic Sonic and the Rookie managed to take down Eggman, Bolt left the Resistance temporarily to find and regroup his mercenary team the P.A.Q. Unit. He would later return to help the Resistance defeat the little remaining forces left behind by Eggman. Afterwards, he would help rebuild most of the various destroyed cities, leave the Resistance, and bring back the P.A.Q. Unit to its former glory. Every now and then, Bolt and his pack would help Sonic and his friends and join him on some adventures.

Fun Facts:

He’s formerly part of a mercenary group before Eggman conquered 99.99% of the world, causing every member to be scattered. The mercs he was with are either presumed dead, M.I.A. (missing in action), in hiding, and/or became slaves for Eggman. Some survivors of the mercenary managed to join the Resistance. Little by little, Bolt managed to bring back the P.A.Q. Unit back together. 

He gained the nickname “Bolt” for how powerful he is and how his speed nearly matches that of Sonic and Shadow. And how fast he eats and finishes meals. 

Bolt was born and raised in Station Square, lived in Empire City for a short while, and is now currently living at Sunset Heights in the City.

Bolt loves to race against Sonic every time either one challenges the other and will not pass up the offer.

This has been lore I've been considering sharing for a while, but some of my self-inserts were named Echo from the beginning, and others chose it later! So here's a little tour of my self-insert's original names and when they changed them :)

BNHA (League of Villains) self-insert: Originally called Sophie, changed their name when their family moved to Japan when they were fourteen (saw the chance for a new start).

Cosmere self-insert: My name is the word 'Echo' in the language of whatever area I'm in: the linguistic magic in Sanderson's universe is something I'd love to dig into because I think it's underdeveloped compared to a lot of other worldbuilding, but Hoid always hears my name the same way, despite the fact that it's pronounced differently by different people!

Homestuck self-insert: The only self-insert who had my IRL name as their original name. I love my real name too much to ever change it, so I don't think most of my self-inserts started there: but this one did, and took the name 'Echo' on Earth C to get away from their old life.

Vampire Chronicles self-insert: Originally named Bethany Sky (a name my irl parents briefly tried on me and decided I wasn't a Beth), went by "Sky" through high school and changed it to Echo when they left for university. (specifically chose the name because of Echo and the Bunnymen)

Witcher self-insert: Originally named Lilia, took a new name when they left home to be a bard. Still wears lily patterns and jewelry as a nod to their family and history.

Slasher Orphanage self-insert: Can't remember their original name, but it was Sophie. They relearned that at one point and then forgot it again. Echo is their name in all the ways that matter, anyways.

Self-Inserts that were always named Echo: Critical Role, Hellaverse, and my Sandman self-inserts were all named Echo by their parents!

All my primaries are getting shipping templates! Vox and Valentino previously finished, and the blank template is here <3

Favourite Details: -Sun has been around for more than five years, but that's when his memory banks go back to, and he hasn't always been in the Daycare, so... his "age" is a big approximation -gender and sexuality for a robot made for childcare (but with way too much additional awareness) are very complicated and cannot be broken down into a human label -this is a relatively new selfship so I don't know what the heavy-hitting toxic elements of this selfship are but rest assured it's got some wonky understones but also a lot of fluff -as a biome, this self-insert is an Arboretum and Sun is a city planning blueprint (a hypothetical and idealized urban centre) -as an item, Sun is construction paper and I'm patterned band-aids -Sun's album is Revolver: I played with a few brighter albums but he just needs both Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby to feel complete to me -as weather, Sun is obviously a sunny day, and I'm a summer sunrise <3

Yessss hell yeah!! (send me a self-insert to swap into a different universe!! they're all me but they're also very different from each other so I think it's fun to put a different facet into a new universe and see how they would react to the surrounding characters!)

I'm going with my League of Villains self-insert because that's my main MHA s/i at the moment.

--

In the Hazbin universe, my MHA s/i would be a cat Sinner-- I think that they would do pretty well at the Hazbin Hotel, they would definitely get along with Niffty and Angel, probably Husk as well. Might end up on the Alastor team because of their friendship with Niffty!

That said, I don't think they would do well with Vox and Valentino. They're either fight or fawn and I just don't think it would go over well with Vox, or hold Valentino's attention for long. They might end up being a distraction for a few days or weeks, but they would definitely get killed off in Vee Tower pretty quickly.

--

In the BNHA universe, my Hazbin s/i would have a pretty distinctive Quirk! I think they would still be in sex work, but much less focused on the celebrity aspects and more specialized on 'helping heroes relax,' keeping behind the scenes a lot more.

Obviously friends with Nemuri, and no less ambitious than in their original universe: they want the most high-value clients, they've been zigzagging around the UA staff and are interested in the most recent hire.

I wanted to compare my self-inserts on some kind of scale sooooo here they are ranked by their experience of my neurodivergence I guess??? This graph style is inspired by the autism pie chart and a lot of the options are autism-specific but a few of them are just added in because I personally experience them and wanted them to be in the ranking system.

A little run-down of each of them under the readmore if you'd like more details on any of them :D

I'm ironically posting this at around 2am while struggling with a bout of insomnia so wish me luck getting more than four hours of sleep before I have to go to work this morning.....
