What is it with everyone? They all talk about the color red like it's a bad thing. Seriously, it's just a color, nothing special behind it. "It's always the red one isn't it?" Scraperton... He was the first one to bring it up. I didn't think much of it back then. C'mon some crazy lunatic living in a space junkyard? Yeah, like I was going to give that guy much credit to anything. "Heh, saved by a chimp. A red one." Even my hero, Captain Mobious Quint. The best pilot in the galaxy, I looked up to him. I was inspired to be a better pilot because of him. And he even said it like there was some sort of curse to it.
I'd like to think I'm a decent guy, I'm not perfect by any means. I have my faults and hardships just like everyone else. But... I feel like I'm carrying some sort of stigma around. And it's all because of the color of my fur. I can't help it! It's how I was made! I have no control over that! I'm singled out for it, I guess red was made to just stand out as a bad thing... But I want to change that.
I don't want to be seen as 'just the red monkey' I'm going to be the best good guy I can be. I know the whole fire of hate thing didn't help... I let down my team, my friends, my family. The only thing out there that looks beyond my coloration. But... I will come back from that. Stronger. Much stronger. And... thanks to Nova for reminding me... she and everyone on the team still loves me for what I am. Even though I almost killed her... If I had done that... well... my fur color would be the least of my worries...
But at the end of the day.. the color red is what unites us. Not just the team, but everyone. We are all connected by it. Every man, woman, child, animal, living being. We all bleed red. Human, monkey, it doesn't matter, we are still one in the same. We all bleed red. Maybe... red isn't such a bad color after all.
So the ending especially... I can't help but think of "Bleed Red" by Ronnie Dunn. It's an amazing song.
I had this thought for a while, and finally threw it together this morning and added a bit to it tonight as I'm uploading it lol
Because... sometimes people are judged and criticized for things out of there control, where they live, their genetics, childhood. I believe in respect for one other.
I'm hoping to be able to do another fic for the Hyperforce, one maybe a bit longer and more actioney. I eventually want to revisit an old Fragile Dreams one I never finished, my guest reviewer Aru-Chan has brought it to my attention a month or two back. And I have a Miraculous Ladybug one I'd like to get out soon too...
As always, I love hearing requests and thoughts! ^.^
