Torch Headcanons Anyone?

 I can't be the only one that has the headcanon about Torch having an animal soul; am I? Wonder if anyone feels the same way here? Well, I have a couple more for him.

Torch is a curious little fellow. When you sort of remember your last life being a farm animal, there was something about limited spaces that make him feel antsy to get out of there and explore more. But ever since encountering that kid in the woods, he tends to be cautious nowadays when his curiosity peaks.

Torch has trust issues with humans. Ever since undead André and the kid, it takes him some time for him to trust a new master. He finds himself trusting the puppets more since that's the only family/friend group he's ever known. Don't worry! They love him no matter how he was brought to life.

Sometimes, he gets a little self-conscious about not having a human soul, or a human past life, or even the idea he was suppose to be Erich in the first place. Sometimes, he wonders if Leech Woman and Decapitron would've been happy to have him back. André -now known as Decapitron- regrets ever having that intention in his zombie state, but he is grateful that it didn't work out. He tells Torch he's happy to have him be part of the family/friend group as himself. Decapitron hopes that if his son was ever reincarnated, he had a good life, or possibly a better one than back in the 40's and how he treated him during that time.

Why Sly/Cliff Make a Good Pairing- A M.A.S.K. Manifesto

I completely forgot about this one! I mentioned in one of my posts talking about another oddball pair. This time it's about Sly Rax and Cliff Dagger from M.A.S.K. Despite M.A.S.K. being average, I always came back just for those two in the early episodes. There was something about their dynamic that held some promise, and I can see it work and have the eventually break up. Yes, I wrote a fanfic centered around the idea of them meeting up by accident during the racing season.

I talked about how I wasn't the biggest fan on how they were dumbed down after the Panda Power episode. I missed their witty and pun-tastic banter; you never knew what you had until it's gone. Well, the episodes are up on Youtube for free so it's not truly gone.

Anyway, I wanted to gush about why I think these two worked best as a duo than on their own. I love me some villain ships! Baddies that are terrible, and utter troublemakers to everyone else but sweet only to each other.

You can go AO3 from here, or read the manifesto below the cut!
