Stobotnik AU thing… 

This was originally a werewolf!Stone au but then I really wanted Robotnik to have an animal form as well… One of my friends said that this is just animorphs which I guess it is???? but I don’t actually know anything about animorphs so-

The inspiration came from this fic on Ao3    (link) 

First time I’ve ever really enjoyed a werewolf au or any kind. I really liked the idea of wolf!Stone but kinda wanted to do my own thing with it.

So in this au I imagine everyone has a animal form of some kind (could be literally any animal ig) and form shifting would not be controlled by the moon like in a werewolf au. Instead it’s more of a voluntary action, very much tied to emotions. 

Most of the time people try to stay in a completely human state without any physical animal traits, to do otherwise is to not be in control of your animal. It’s expected that people should be able to have full control over shifting with the exception being children would shift wildly until they learn to control it.

Being in an animal form can be a very vulnerable and personal thing, rarely seen by those other than family and loved ones.

Stone’s from is based around a german sheperd but also kind of mixed with a wolf?

Robotnik is a simple tabby cat and small compared to others with a similar form.

An example of how someone would shift or have their animal traits appear could be shifting to full animal form during an argument or fight/during an extreme feeling of fear. Another could be something like Robotnik petting the top of Stone’s head and suddenly Stone’s ears and tail appear without his intention. This could also happen if someone is experiencing any form of intense emotion.

The more look at this the more it feels like Turning Red but with other animals… which I guess it is adajkaj. Anyways that’s my contribution, enjoy DX
