DEDICATED TO MIMIC

This page is about The Mimic, that obsession I have on it, and so on and so forth...

..because I sure am hyperfixated!!!

Kind of like a shrine for this character that's been plaguing my mind for years now.... a collection of things that remind me of him, favourite media, headcanons, and analysis!

Also includes info about what could be called my selfship, Rustyfeathers :]

Check out the journal for general Mimic-related facts, thoughts and ramblings I might have to say! It's like a field guide on all things Mimic, based on my observations!

HOW MUCH DOES HE MEAN TO ME, EXACTLY?

A LOT...

Mimic is a pretty big part of myself as a person. It is me and I am it just as much as I love him! That hunk of junk changed my life, and I don't want it any other way :D

He's the reason I know myself as well as I do now. I probably wouldn't have accepted my current identity if it wasn't for this doggone queer-ambiguous bot, which is pretty gnarly! Mimic has been my main outlet in expressing myself ever since 2023, from gender to sexuality to usual goofs... there's something pretty beautiful about it I think. Letting a character you love take the reins to say the things you couldn't :]

All my artwork reflects it too, he's practically become my second "persona" in a way. I project my thoughts, complaints, pain, joy and behaviours through my Mimic artwork! They're very intertwined with my everyday life and how I'm feeling at the time. Very important to me 🧡

This character is my passion, as silly as it sounds, but I wouldn't be here without him... All I needed was something to focus on, learn about and find comfort in, and that just happened to be the smelly sinkhole animatronic. He's just a charming little thing.

i'm just a liiittle bit autistic about it okay...

HEADCANONS

(Personal interpretations and details that aren't necessarily true or stated officially!)

The Mimic has poor vision due to damaged/aged visual systems. Likely colourblind to a mild degree...
Hilariously misanthropistic. Number 1 human hater!
Smartdumb. Able to plot solid plans, manipulate victims successfully and learn quickly, but is also a tad bit... dense.
Smells like rust, trash, blood, and old machinery
Cat person. Clear preference to felines over canines, as well as general preference towards white-coated animals
Has stored multiple Tom Jones tracks in its memory, really fond of "What's New Pussycat"
Body creaks from stretching or bending too far, servos strain loudly. Stretches anyways.
Partially pneumatic, pistons use air; can "breathe" via them, imitating sighs organically
Agony causes certain components to feel touch. Wires are exceptionally sensitive, unless exposed to weather (e.g. leg wiring)
Wires within buccal cavity (mouth/"snout" area) can be manipulated, functioning similarly to a tongue
Fully robotic, but mimicry and exposure from Agony causes him to act more "lifelike". Actions similar to breathing, swallowing, itchiness etc. can be observed
Has an unfixable "physical lisp"... not necessarily audible, but 'tongue' sticks out no matter the voice in use
Docile in calm, comfortable situations. Nowadays kills only due to stress relief, boredom, or general hatred of humanity
Chuffs like a tiger :]
EXTREMELY irritated from filaments like hair, feathers and string catching into his joints.
Total drama queen when the situation calls for it.... (very often)
Tendency to lick things, it is unknown whether he can taste or not.
...Capable of getting drunk off of crude oil, somehow?
Thinks it can be tickled and acts like such, even if not feeling the sensation. It just thinks he has to act like that.
Changed name from M2 to mimic1 to cut off association with its predecessor and to "start from scratch"
Has been springlocked at least once in its existence, has "scars" (dents)
When getting nervous while speaking, voice occasionally turns staticky

RUSTYFEATHERS

Because if you're going to be THAT committed to a character, you'll probably have to marry them!

Since July, 2023

Not sure what to say about this actually. I've loved the Mimic for as long as I've known it, he was pretty much an instant blorbo to me. Fastest I've ever had a little guy to imagine giving me company and to become a primary source of comfort (and intense surges of energy) :]

Most of the old Mimic & Ka art/writing is private and likely won't be published as the artstyle is very outdated, but the oldest public one dates back to October 9, 2023!!

Pinpointing the exact date when I began to be "attracted" to it is difficult, but it must've been fairly quickly because I made this also in October '23. Was in denial for quite a while...

AWESOME ship dynamics/lore etc.

Shapeshifter x Shapeshifter
T4T (subjective)
They gore and maul each other because that's so TUBULAR!
Yaoi/Yuri interchangeably.. depends on the day
Ka has instant rizz for being a white-coated critter
Met in the sinkhole pre-RUIN, Ka was searching for a hideout/shelter
Two things pretending to be people. Conceptually the same thing but executed in vastly different ways!!!
Powerful robot realizes biological horrors are stronger than him, is probably into it. EW!😁
disgusting maneaters that might eat people sometimes but it's ok
Both think they're in charge :] some day one of them is the "dude" of the relationship, next day it's the other.

*for legal reasons this is a silly little game reference :D
