User blog:Podddo/Dr. Starline Appreciation Post

Greetings fellow Sonic-ers and Eggman Empire-ers.

Today I am here to scream at you about how Dr. Starline The Platypus from the IDW Sonic series is my new favorite villain and the fact that I LOVE HIM.

So...reasons why I love Dr. Starline:
 * 1) WEBBED! HANDS!


 * 1) EARRING CONCEPT ART! (source )


 * 1)  Literally every time Adam Bryce Thomas draws him


 * 1) The fact that he has a custom-made pink and gold shower in the faceship (if you look closely you can see the shower-head


 * 1) EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the IDW Comics and I love the other characters as well. Whisper is giving me exactly what SEGA didn't (yet!) with an Infinite redemption arc. If he ever heals, I swear he and Whisper would be besties, or maybe even like each other...can't wait to see more of Mimic as well. Wish they'd finally reveal Dr. Starilne's age like they did Mimic's, though! Mimic actually is the exact headcanon age I gave Dr. Starline. =^P I swear if Dr. Starline is not in his 30's or at LEAST above 25, I'mma throw a riot.
 * 1) The fact that Starline is simultaneously an awful person who would kill a kind and friendly 15 year old and also a person who's sensible enough to question his idol and empathetic enough to feel upset by his idol's failures and confide in a fellow henchman (Orbot)????????? He's not just constantly smug and witty and confident and experiences a lot of fear, cries easily and actually has real human emotions unlike a lot of villains you see in children's media...i guess the reason why i liked him so much is because he gave me the same conflicting feelings as Merlina the Wizard did, my other all-time favorite Sonic villain who's full of depth!
 * 2) Speaking of my wizard wife, STARLINE IS ALSO VERY PURPLE, THANKS EVAN STANELY.
 * Tol, lanky.................
 * 1) PLATYPUS!!!!!
 * 2) SPURS!!!!!!!
 * 3) FASHIONABLE!!!!!!!!
 * 4) HEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * 5) The fact that his creation was inspired by so many lovable musicians, celebrities and fictional characters
 * 6) Lastly, there's too many hints both from Evan Stanley herself and from his own personality that Starline is LGBTQ+...& I can just feel it in me bones. Evan has refrained from calling him not LGBTQ+ when asked and said that she wants to include LGBTQ+ representation in IDW Sonic...thank you, Evan Stanley. u_u Even if he's confirmed to be non-LGBTQ+, I'd say is design is pretty gender-nonconforming (though most male Sonic characters fall into hat category anyway) so that's still great!

So anyway that was my vent full of love and a lot of trash goblin thoughts. Here's a drawing of Dr. Starline that my girlfriend made and I digitalized/colored. Enjoy! =^D
