i've had this idea of Mimic being able to shapeshift into multiple people at once for a while now

i have a headcannon that he did trust someone once, and they left him for dead. and i headcannon that that expirience traumatized him, leaving him to grow and think that he doesn't need anyone. i also headcannon that he has pistantrophobia(fear of trusting others) and that he is scared of being vunrable due to that trauma of being left to die by the person that you trusted.

i also headcannon that he didn't mean for the diamond cutters to die. my headcannon on mimic's deal with eggman is that eggman promised not to kill the diamond cutters but then went back on his end of the deal

so tell me what you think below, if you have any mimic headcannons comment them down below, id love to hear them :3

If I had a nickel for every time I had a favorite character of a franchise that is an unique anthropomorphic animal and a villain who has done horrible atrocities, has white fur/feathers as well as red as part of their features; that are sophisticated and manipulative, a bit crazy and were also responsible for the "creation" of a protagonist/antagonist and (supposedly) died buried, ultimately because of their own rubris and ambitions...

I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice 🤔

(It's also weird that I also decided to redeem the both of them by giving them (or focusing on his existing, on Shen's case) tragic backstory to explain (but not justify) their actions, and saw/made AUs for them of said redemptions, because they barely have good content in media and are hated (as villains should be, a love/hate relationship))
