#can you tell sonic heroes was my fav sonic game?

[fly-sky-high-bug-games]

WELL UM. THAT POST DID SOMETHING TO MY OLD SONIC BRAIN CHEMISTRY IN A GOOD WAY

I wanna finish this (and adjust Kabbu a bit, I've struggled with him but he remains a short king) but I dunno when that will happen (is it me or my WIPs are piling up...)

Anyway, Leif is Speed, Kabbu is Power and Vi is Flight

EDIT: Hi here's the finished piece

[blu-ish]

In your words describe Shadow

What is he like? Do you think he’ll be different in the movie than prime or sonic x or the games?

Oghh man, when you’re asking about my favorite character of all times.. prepare for an essay hshsjsjsh

Shadow is someone who really imprinted on me as a kid, (besides Sonic ofc lmao) I first saw him in Generations and knew next to nothing about him other than he was single-handedly the coolest character in the game.

In the Sonic and Shadow race that happens in gens, I could tell he was pretty powerful— and when he comes to support Sonic fighting off the time eater, I could also tell he was a good friend. (7 year old me omg if only you knew lmao)

But as I grew older, I started learning more about Shadow as a character— I think that’s when I started to understand just how important Shadow is to the Sonic series as a whole, and to us, his fans.

Shadow is someone who’s been through hell and back, literally. He’s someone that, through all the odds, became someone he wanted to be (and even more)— not something he was made for.

He’s compassionate, curious, headstrong and likes to keep to himself most of the time. He’s not one for “pleasing the big crowds” he just does what he knows is right.

He has a small circle of friends that are like his family, he gets to be a kid again with them. He gets to be competitive and have people to care about again. Even if he has trouble showing it.

Shadow is a heavily traumatized character, one whose past doesn’t just make him some asshole villain character (because that’s NOT who he is.) He’s someone who never got to mourn, who’s been manipulated, who has memory issues and teaches us that it’s not as simple as just “getting over our negative experiences” but acknowledging they happened and growing stronger because of it.

He doesn’t try to be a whole other person, he is unapologetically himself. Someone who’s gonna stand up and protect others, someone who’s not gonna be seen as a hero by everyone or be as loved as some blue heros. But that doesn’t stop him so why should that stop any of us?

He inspires us to choose our own path, to not dwell on our past but rather grow because they happened. To be who we’re meant to be truly, and if the whole world turns its back on us we can fight like we’ve always have.

He’s a nerd, he likes flowers and coffee beans, he loves animals and the Earth he protects. He cherishes it all for him and Maria cuz that’s what she would’ve wanted for him and he believes it. He’s willing to protect the humanity that wronged him, even give it a second chance.

He’s Shadow the fucking Hedgehog.

But to answer your question (hsjsjsj SORRY) I’m not too sure how they’ll portray him in the movie or the games moving forward (love how he was in prime hands down best Shadow characterization) but from what I’ve seen so far, all the shadow love? I know my boy’s back, and he’s gonna be my fav no matter what 💖

[pointesdulac]

Tell me about a spider or your fav oc (I still can't think of my own favorite of so don't worry about taking long with this)

SPIDERS.... I'll tell you about the spider family in my superhero story.

Alexander Wolfe and his adopted son Elliott Wolfe are the spiders--honourary position to Avery, biological son but not spider-coded (he's Normal).

Alexander Wolfe haunts the narrative!! When superpowers started emerging in the world, he changed the focus of his prestigious family business to helping people navigate their powers. Have a baby with a sonic scream destroying your house? They can help with that. You keep disappearing and can't come back? They can help with that. Etc etc. This developed into them funding and assisting the city's superhero team!! The Wolfes were considered a huge philanthropists and idealists for all the good they did in the changing world around them--but Alexander and Avery alike aren't good with 'publicity', so Elliott acted as the 'face' for all their good work. He was the 'human' face you could trust in the scary unknown. Charming and witty, Elliott is universally adored!

Then it came out that Alexander was moonlighting as a giant spider and sowing chaos through the city.

Nick, our protagonist and technically my fave OC, unfortunately stumbles on evidence of Alexander's identity. They clash and Nick accidentally takes Alexander's life in self defense. Elliott witnesses this happen, knows to address the monster by his father's name, and in his grief reveals that he also was in on his father's crimes. This is a horrific event that shatters a system the city so adored, ruins Nick's life, and completely ravages his relationship with Elliott. Alexander dies and the age of villainy dies with him: when a hero can kill a villain, no one wants to play the game anymore.

Elliott is locked away as an accomplice and, given that the city adores him, this is considered unjust!! Where is the proof?? How can he be blamed?? He's just a little guy!! (he's not). After a suspiciously short time, Elliott is released, and Nick's regular depression surges into hyper-pissed-off-depression. After being forced to hang up his costume, and barely coping with what he's done, Nick relives it all over again. At the same place where he faced Alexander, he fights a revenant: a man in a mechanical spider suit, who seems to recognize him, and who laughs when he calls him 'Wolfe.'

It spirals from there: Wolf Spider is back!! Nick knows it's Elliott in the suit, and yet no one wants to believe him. Elliott declares war on every hero left in the city, bringing back villains under his command, and Nick has to endure the consequences. He doesn't feel like he deserves to be a hero anymore, but his heart won't let him stand idly by. Elliott is the first life that Nick ever saved in his superhero career, and now he's fighting tooth and nail to stop Elliott from hurting people, while knowing he's wronged Elliott in a way no one else possibly ever could. They feel mutually betrayed by one another, too tangled up in each other to be rational, and they keep making out when they're not supposed to.

I just think they're neat <:

[umii33]

I can't speak for every pro-shipper out there, but to me proship is not "Imma ship kid x adult cuz I can!" But to me proship is "The author says this character who looks and acts exactly as these other 15y/o is actually 50 y/o, and I think is bullsh*t and Imma ignore it"

if you’re the same anon from earlier, this is the last thing i’ll say back to you. and if you want to talk further, don’t be afraid to message one on one instead of hiding behind there as an anon and i don’t mean to say this as a form of intimidation too.

what is it abt “stasis” “frozen” do you not understand ? where are you getting the 50 yrs old age mark ? tell me, was he alive during the 50 years he was in a pod ? did he actually live through it and experienced any of it ? what is it about his mannerisms that makes you scream that he’s 50 ? I really want to know if you have valid proof, im open to listen whatever you have and trade info as to why shadow is 15 or younger. i’m open minded and i’m willing to listen to whatever.

And i’m aware shadow’s age discourse also applies to other of his pairings and not just what you came barging in through my inbox. I’m not choosing to ignoring anything really. as soon as i became hyper aware of my fav pairing between shadow and amy along with sonic and shadow, i had to know first if shadow was actually 50 and turns out he wasn’t.

The writers/kid literally refers him in japan’s line of games (pls know thats where sonic originated from bc if u think it’s from america omg idk what to say to u tbh) as ‘boku’ and thts literally kids using it who’s 15 or younger. that should be telling enough tht bc he was set as ageless or immortal, he’s still a naive child and there’s an answer in where he’s at in SA2 and Sonic Heroes and currently too.

even the game manual from 06 says hes 15, that’s literally the only time in official media/games states his official standpoint in age.

aside from that, all shipping aside, and speaking from my pov as a shadow the hedgehog fan, i’m really tired of hearing that he’s 50 when he’s not. i spend so much time just looking at random info abt him bc honestly he’s so cool, you can’t deny that either. i would just recommend to keep on digging info instead of touching only the surface, which is google. google only finds keywords and shows you whats the most viewed online instead of accurate info.

[latin-dr-robotnik]

You know, since I started this blog and my other Spanish blog I always thought my opinions were maybe a little too strongly biased towards Sonic, even when talking about many other gaming franchises...

But hooooo boy this video is something else.

But it’s fine. This is the sort of video I would expect for the 30th anniversary next year, but having it today is nice as well. I don’t know if I would get as defensive as some of the moments of this video (specially that 20-minute long introduction), but I get it. S3K is also my favorite Sonic game, and one of my favs of all time. I played this at such an early age that -without ever thinking too much about it- this has set a standard for all things gaming for me (and I finally realize why I said what I said in this post about judging videogames harshly for their music, it’s because these games showed me so much more). It ain’t just nostalgia, it’s brilliant game design and a benchmark of how ambitious this franchise could get when it gets its shit together. I too felt sad every time Sonic 2 got all the praise while S3K was forgotten and talked only because lock-on or because MJ worked a bit on its music. I did get mad at IGN for a while for their utter disrespect to a franchise that, despite receiving fatal blows that would kill any other game franchise not only once, but twice, still lives to tell the story to this very day. But not that much anymore.

Sonic is special, very special. Just before finding this video I was wondering about why the 2D Sonic games were harder to get into (I have no plans to translate that into a Tumblr post, so it will stay in Spanish, sorry not sorry), and parts of this video not only explain that very same point, but also reach similar conclusions as I did. Being more than your traditional platformer is what sets Sonic apart, and this is a point brought on the video but not on my part, but the experimentation part of this franchise is also a very big atractive point, regardless of the result. We Sonic fans tend to complain about lack of consistency in the games, yet we still love 3D Blast, Black Knight, Unleashed, Heroes, Battle, Spinball and more. Sonic, as a character and as a franchise, never settles for less, for better or worse. That’s why is a bigger sin to have a boring Sonic game rather than an utterly broken one, and why games like Forces can be much more heartbreaking than '06.

But, even if I consider S3K this golden standard for all things Sonic and most things gaming, I have to disagree when the video asks us to refer to this very game when someone says “Sonic was never good”. I don’t need to pull out a 26-year old Sonic game -my fav in the series- to say this “was” a good franchise, because it still is. We are just coming out from one of the most successful movie adaptations of a videogame ever; we have lots of animations -official and fanmade- made out of pure love and respect from this franchise. We have some of the greatest videogame soundtracks of any videogame franchise period. We have 27+ years of varied TV series that tackled topics ranging from wacky and silly fun to serious story developments. We still have the record for the longest running comic series based on a videogame, even though said comic has been dead for some years now. We have one of the best and worst fandoms of all at the same time, filled with well-known infamous personalities, and some of the best, most talented writers and artists I’ve seen and even had the pleasure to talk to and share a laugh or an idea. We have one of the strongest fangame and reverse engineering communities out there, to the point some fans have proven to have the professional skill and love for the franchise to create one of the best official Sonic games of the past decade, while many others use their knowledge to kickstart their own indie careers in the industry. And best of all, we have one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time, even people that haven’t ever touched a Sonic game in their lives know what a “Sonic” is. 

If anything, we Sonic fans tend to undersell the value of this franchise, and while I can and will keep on referring to this game when the “best game” discussion pops up, I don’t really have to look that far back to find signs of Sonic’s greatness.

Even at its worst, this franchise keeps on chuggin’ along. (And there’s a reason why it keeps on going where other competitors have simply vanished from existence or been recently brought back for a quick nostalgia-check.)

On a different note, every time the Sonic fandom is brought up and how “Sonic fans keep fighting at each other when it would be better to leave our differences and join all together”, I can’t stop myself from thinking about this place, the Tumblr Sonic fandom, a place that can get a little bit tarnished due to the overall reputation of the site (it’s a constant love-hate relationship, I admit.) The place where we disagree from time to time but don’t really go nuclear on each other (at least not that often lol); the place where posts like this one pop up all the time, some with an astonishing amount of research and understanding of all the aspects of this franchise; the place where most people I’ve known (and even myself) said it’s “the best corner of the fandom.” And for that I raise my drink to all of you, thank you for sharing this passion together. 

(Now, can we get Nick to look at this place? :P)

“There’s a moment when you realize you’re playing your favorite game”

You know when I realized that? As soon as I found the very first giant ring on Angel Island Act 1.

[whrrlwind-a]

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; mun & muse.

fill out & repost !

tagged by:  no one! i stole it from ren <3 tagging:  anyone who wants to do it!!

my muse is:  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK and im too afraid to find out Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK Are they underrated?  YES / NO / IDK Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL How strictly do you follow canon?  —  pretty strictly! it’s really only towards the end of SA2 and after it where i start taking creative liberties! as whirl nearly dies himself trying (and failing) to save his shadow, and then starts going into rider’s time instead of jumping into heroes.

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  —  you like the adventure era sonic? you hate how he sometimes handles really serious scenarios or brushes them off like nothing, as if they aren’t traumatic as shit in any way? wanna see a pretty mentally and emotionally fucked up lad struggle with handling his troubles and keep up the dark/serious theme SA2 set that sega is too cowardly to go back to in modern day? well bOY DO I HAVE THE HEDGEHOG FOR YOU. this bad boy ACTUALLY has emotions and struggles with handling them and many other things due to the position he has put himself in over the course of his life, but also doesn’t completely wear him down and stop him from being who he is! as well as dealing with the fact he and his timeline are MUCH further behind than other alternates of himself and friends. sonic “ whirl ” hedgehog is a young hero still running his way through life the way he wants like the rebellious, free-spirited teenager he is, while learning that not only is he a hero, but he’s also a person.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  — quite frankly, he’s sonic. there’s a lot of them out there. he can probably be too energetic, positive, etc, or perhaps this blog focuses a little too much on his trauma and internal struggles or even the general dark theme to the point it’s a turnoff or just hard to really read. he’s also an annoying idiot to the point it’s frustrating.

What inspired you to rp your muse? — yo sonic was my fucking LIFEBLOOD as a kid. lived and breathed this franchise. sa2 was my first game ever, sonic was my fav character (and still is), so my absolute love for this specific version of him became too much to internalize sooooo here we are ; w ;

What keeps your inspiration going? —  straight up, sonic is probably my biggest comfort character to exist ever. always makes me happy, always makes me feel better when im down, etc. there’s nothing he can’t do that doesn’t make me smile, regardless of how sega treats him. being able to pour my ideas into a character i love so much to the point he becomes really personalized (and personal for me), and it’s actually something people enjoy seeing and interacting with? it gives me so much goddamn sertonin.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? Do you frequently write headcanons?  YESSSSS I CANNOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT WHIRL ask anyone i Do Not Shut The Fuck Up even if i don’t post abt it on tumblr Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO just bc im bad at writing them abndhjbfd Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO / SORTA. Do you accept criticism about your portrayal?  —  always!! i’m always willing to learn and improve on things, especially with the canon of some events from games and such, as i’m not 100% with everything besides SA2. all i really ask is that when receiving criticism, people are as nice as they can be with it! thanks adhd and personal trauma

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  —  ABSOFUCKINLUTELY I DO

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  —  mmmmm? mm. kind of? but also not really? like. everyone’s entitled to their own opinion ofc, i’m not gonna rip anyone apart for disagreeing with something, but like. i have adhd. i’m v hypersensitive to some things, so it can really be processed in my head the wrong way and it makes me feel bad. so i guess just....... be careful about it if you ever wanna tell me why?

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it? — i’d probably just kinda be like “ damn that sucks bro, but thats literally not my problem, there’s a whole ton of other sonics out there bye ” bc like. i dont care? don’t even really tell me bc honestly ur just wasting ur time lmao

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? — ill be the first to admit im. v attached to sonic as a whole. he means a lot to me! so going off abt how you may (generally) hate him really....... is just upsetting to me. but thats just bc im v attached to him, and there’s nothing wrong with having that opinion on him!! we all get upset when someone talks bad about something we love. all i ever ask is that try to keep it away from me, especially if it’s abt whirl in particular, bc it can really upset me and thats just not fun for anyone <:3c

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors? — absolutely!! i make them all the time and i even have a friend proofread some of my stuff bc of how common it is aBJDBHBJC, again i just ask if people are nice about it when pointing that stuff out to me!!

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  oh fuckin yes absolutely, im tooting my own horn and i dont even care, im one of the chillest people on this fuckin planet

[miloscat]

My trip to Japan 2019

I’ve been gone for four weeks! No time for this blog. Well, I did that Hitchhiker’s pixel art. Anyway now I’m back and if you’re interested I’ll tell you what video game-related stuff I got up to over there. Then I can get working on more “hashtag content”.

First of all, I took my reliable old New 3DS. I played a few games on it that you’ll see reviews of soon; most of my time was spent on Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros., which was disappointing. The Streetpass landscape was even more barren than last time, but most of the games in the plaza have exhausted their novelty to me anyway, so it’s fine.

My spouse chose to bring her Switch, and we decided to bring the dock as well for some multiplayer sessions in the evenings at our AirBnBs. This didn’t actually happen as often as I’d expected, and although I’d bought a few co-op and party games digitally not all of them were hits. The most playtime probably came out of Taiko no Tatsujin, the Switch version of which also has a fun Rhythm Heaven-esque minigame mode.

Of course we visited a few random arcades (or “game centres”), whether they be run by Taito, Namco, Sega, etc. Taiko no Tatsujin arcade is a great experience, and I had a go on Mario Kart Arcade GP DX as well. I also bought a few loose Dragon Ball Heroes cards on the cheap, and tried to play that as well only to find that in the transition to Super DBH they’d increased the team size from five to seven so I didn’t quite have enough! As always I was half-tempted to step into one of the many pachinko parlours as well to try and spot the recent Castlevania or Rockman machines, but they’re all so smoky, loud and above all seedy plus it’s really just gambling, so it didn’t seem worthwhile.

We also went to some more exciting specialist arcades in Tokyo. Natsuge Museum in Akihabara was a cool spot, tiny and crammed full of retro stuff; I had a good long session on the rare Space Harrier sequel Planet Harriers. Joypolis in Odaiba is a Sega “indoor theme park”, bringing back childhood memories of Sega World; here we had fun with several game-ified rides/attractions such as Spicy Taxi and Zombie Zoo. We also played arcade games there such as Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and a Sonic Athletics 8-player game that I swear was made from modified Mario & Sonic at the Rio Olympics arcade machines. Anata no Warehouse was a huge game centre in Kawasaki, thoroughly and moodily themed after Hong Kong’s Kowloon walled city, but it also had loads of cool games, old and new. We played Rhythm Tengoku, Pac-Man Battle Royale, and Pop’n Music among others.

I did some game-related shopping but didn’t go overboard like last time with my stack of DS game purchases. I revisited A-too in Kyoto which has since changed hands, as well as Super Potato in Akihabara and Book-Off stores everywhere whenever I could. Since I have access to a Japanese 3DS I picked up a few particular region-exclusive games I was keen to try out, namely Gon: Bakubakubakubaku Adventure, Game Center CX 3, and Maple Story: The Girl of Destiny.

Add to that guides for Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong ‘94; you never know when they might contain rare artwork or comics (they didn’t, except the renders on the cover of DK64 but I’ve seen them online before). Still, the maps will surely be useful when I replay them! Volume 2 of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission manga continues the Xeno story that’s been ongoing in DB game spinoffs since Online. And Super Mario-kun, which I’ve become much less enthusiastic about over the years but I still wanted to check out the unscanned v11, the reprinted Super Mario RPG arc in v51, and see if Pauline showed up in the Odyssey arc in v54 (she didn’t yet).

I’ll spare you a photo of the SD Blade Liger model kit (found at the same Book-Off figure floor southwest of Shinjuku station! I’m telling you, it’s a goldmine there!!), the Little Mermaid figures, and the phone charm of Kotoden‘s dolphin mascot I found since they’re not game stuff. This is the game stuff: a pack of Detective Pikachu Pokemon cards including a semi-rare(?) Mewtwo, the aforementioned DBH cards, a few Pokemon bits including a plush of my all-time fav Corsola, some Yume Nikki badges from a gachapon I found in Harajuku, a second-hand Diddy basketball figure from a Mario Sports Superstars-themed chocolate surprise egg, and several figures of SSJ4 Gohan, a transformation introduced in DBH.

All in all it was a really great trip and I did a lot of fun non-video game stuff as well! But who wants to hear about that?? Well I will quickly say that I experienced a James Turrell art installation on Naoshima, and my appreciation of it was increased thanks to my having played Bubsy 3D: BVTJTR, hehe!
