Just a little note to anyone who wonders about the absence of new posts for the next couple weeks! But I hope to have some more content prepared for when I come back!

Alrighty friends!

I'm going to be off Tumblr for the next couple weeks to avoid spoilers for the 3rd Sonic Movie! I won't be able to see it until January 7 or 8. So until then, I'll be offline! This also applies to @hedgehog-university-au , so I won't be posting any content there for a bit.

However! I'll be on-and-off active on my writing blog, @thewritingautisticat if you want to say hi! I may also be doing some fanfic writing in the next couple of weeks, so if I complete anything Sonic-related I may jump on here just long enough to post it without seeing any spoilers. (Hoping to get the next chapter of my Knuckles series fic finished before the official release of the third movie but we'll see.)

See ya in a while and love y'all! 💙💙💙💙💙

This is the exact vibe of Shadow and Espio working at the Mean Bean.

Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manger of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.

Some of the movie characters exist in this universe as well!

Tom Wachowski is a police officer assigned specifically to the area around the college. He's partners with Wade Whipple. Since they patrol the campus a lot, and don't have a ton of crime to deal with, they've gotten to know the students pretty well and act as back-up to the security team.

Maddie Wachowski works as a vet in town and also teaches veterinary medicine at HU. She loves interacting with the students and acts as a mentor to a lot of them.

Tom and Maddie are part of an "adopt a student" program at their church where adults in the community can take care of a specific student from Hedgehog University and will have them over to their house for meals or take them shopping or just get to know the student and be a support for them. They "adopted" Sonic in his freshman year, and come to all his track meets and support him! When Tails came in next year, Sonic made sure he got signed up for the program right away and got him "adopted" by the Wachowskis as well. After much convincing, they also got Knuckles to participate. Although technically each family is only supposed to have one student, Tom and Maddie just couldn't say no to all three of the boys. They have dinner together regularly and come to lots of events at the college.

Because Knuckles is on the security team, he's worked a lot with Tom and Wade and keeps in communication with them about things happening in campus. He and Wade became good friends because of their interactions, and they go bowling together. Knuckles has also assigned himself Wade's personal trainer and they exercise together in the weight room at HU.

Sneak peak of my Maria design for the AU! She's not too far off from her canon design but I'm giving her forearm crutches (she uses a wheelchair as well), and some slightly different clothes.

(Don't mind the absolutely horribly drawn frog off to the side)

[hedgehog-university-au]

I love all my ships so much!

One of my favorites in this one is Silvaze. They're super cute friends-to-dating with lots of pining on Silver's side until Blaze gets absolutely hit with a trainload of feelings all at once (the epitome of "He fell first she fell harder).

Sonamy is really cute here as well, with Amy having a huge crush on Sonic (of course) and Sonic not being interested at first but slowly becoming really good friends with her that eventually blooms into something more. They have a lot of silly moments that are cute both platonically or romantically because they are both huge shippers of all their friends and share all the gossip with each other.

I also am really enjoying Espio x Jewel in this AU. I haven't posted much for them yet but they're both such perfectionists that are secretly disasters, and each think the other is way too perfect for them. They're also the two shortest of all the characters and both wear scarves.

Now to give a few of the characters the chance speak for themselves:

Amy: I absolutely adore Sonic! He's so cool, and has such a good heart and sense of adventure! I don't know if he'll ever like me back, but that's okay! For now, I just love loving him.

Sonic: Amy drives me crazy sometimes, but she's actually really sweet and has so much love for everything and everyone, not just for me. She's a really great friend and always so supportive. If you'd asked me freshman year if I could ever see myself with her, I'd have laughed or run away, but now... I don't know. I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship yet, but if I was... I could definitely do a lot worse than her.

Tails: I'm so lucky to have Cosmo as my girlfriend. Heh, that word still feels so funny. My... girlfriend. I'm still a little scared that it won't last, cuz... I don't know, it's just hard to believe that anyone would actually want me. But... I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

Cosmo: Tails is so smart and passionate. I love to listen to him talk about all his science stuff, even though I don't really understand most of it. And he listens to me talk about all my plants. I definitely wasn't expecting this when I first came to college, but I'm just so happy.

Knuckles: How do I feel about dating Rouge? Eeeeeehhhh... She brings out the best and the worst in me. Sometimes she drives me absolutely insane. Half the time I don't know why we keep getting back together. But... I love her. That's about the size of it.

Rouge: Knuckles is hardheaded, uncouth, and an absolute pain in the neck. But he's also extremely hot, so I deal with it. ...Okay, okay, he's also a really good guy. He's got a heart of gold. But the fact that he's got huge muscles doesn't hurt a bit.

Silver: Blaze is so cool, and kind, and smart, and pretty, and... and... How could anyone not fall in love with her?

Blaze: Silver is one of the most diligent, resourceful people I know. He's noble and kindhearted. I couldn't be prouder to have him as my partner.

For kinda both creators and characters?

Creators: Are there any ships in your au that show up that you really enjoy? Or any that are very important(like mc's having relationships)

Main Character(s) of the AU's: if you're in a relationship how do you feel about it? What's your relationship like?

Question for both awesome!!

[hedgehog-university-au]

Out of the tournament now but I'm just answering these for fun and worldbuilding!

I have a lot of favorite designs for the characters (check out the design post here) but some of my favorites include:

Vector and Espio my boys!

The absolutely gorgeous Tikal who turned out way better than I thought she would 😍

MY BOYYYYYYYYYY

(I can't get the eyes right but otherwise I love him)

And the villain bois (why are they hot??? 😅)

One of my favorite aspects of AUs is putting those hogs in outfits!!!!!

What's everyone's favorite outfit or character design from their AU?

Collision zone? Nah this is the fashion zone now! ✨

[hedgehog-university-au]

Sonic: I don't have a ton of family, but I have my Uncle Chuck! He's really great and I go visit him whenever I get the chance.

Tails: I haven't really talked to my birth parents since I was pretty young. And I don't think any of my foster families count, since they never really wanted me, so.... But it's okay, I'm doing fine by myself!

Amy: I love my parents! They're... busy, most of the time, so they don't spend too much time with me or call very often, but that's just because they're working so hard! And they promised to come up for my graduation!

Knuckles: My family is pretty great. Uncle Pachacamac is a bit... difficult, but I love my cousin Tikal. She's always here for me and gives me good advice.

Tikal: Aww, right back at you, cousin 🧡. And yeah, my dad can be a bit much. I still love him, but...

Espio: My relationship with my family is rather... strained. Particularly after the, uh, The Incident ™.

Vector: I got my Ma! She's awesome, and she lives here in town so I get to take the guys over to her house sometimes. And all the guys on my floor are like my family!

Shadow: I have my sister Maria. She means the world to me. Besides her, I'm... okay with most of my family. Our grandfather, Gerald, is pretty good... Oh. If we're talking about biological family, then I guess I am required to mention Black Doom. He is my biological father. That is all he is to me. And I've recently found out that he has another son, Eclipse, who is also on campus. I do not have any particular interest in him.

Maria: You should get to know Eclipse better, Shadow! But as far as me, I also really love Shadow! He's the best little brother a girl could ask for! And I love the rest of our family too, especially Grandpa. Our cousin, Ivo, is pretty gruff, but I believe he has a soft side. And I'm having fun getting to know his kids, Metal, Sage, and Belle better!

Belle: My dad and I aren't very close anymore. It's also been pretty hard trying to connect with my half-siblings. Sage is pretty nice, and we've gotten a chance to get to know one another a bit better, but Metal still isn't super friendly towards me. It's getting a bit better, though. And I've enjoyed getting to know my cousin Maria. She's super sweet, although Shadow still intimidates me a bit...

For characters!

If any of you have family, what's your family relationship like?

[hedgehog-university-au]

@sonic-au-collision Yeah I'll call this more propaganda

[hedgehog-university-au]

So the games and comics aren't really a part of Hedgehog University AU since it's a mostly chill college AU but some of the plot points from them are loosely incorporated! (Some more seriously than others)

-- CD happened when Amy first met Sonic and Metal during the big freshman picnic right after everyone moved in. Amy developed a crush on Sonic at first sight but Metal decided he was Sonic's rival om first sight aand awkwardly "kidnapped" Amy away from the picnic and attempted to flirt with her until Sonic stepped in and rescued her

-- SA1 was when one of the water systems started having issues and flooded parts of campus while Chaos (who is also a student) had a complete breakdown about something and started making scenes all over campus. During this period Amy was busy taking care of Birdie, an injured bird she found.

-- SA2 didn't really happen since Maria is still alive but there was a whole period during the beginning of Sonic's freshman year where people kept confusing Sonic with Shadow (even though they look nothing alike lol). The "faker" scene was a giant confrontation when Sonic finally met Shadow and they had a fight in the middle of the Quad.

-- Heroes and the Rivals games were some different campus-wide scavenger hunt events with different groups of friends teaming up and competing.

-- Shadow the Hedgehog was just Parent's Weekend when Black Doom showed up and tried to manipulate Shadow into thinking he was a good dad despite not interacting with him at all in like ten years and never paying child support.

- '06 occurred during Sonic and Silver's freshman year when Mephiles's twin sister Iblis set a fire on campus. Silver and Blaze nearly got hurt in the fire. Mephiles convinced Silver that Sonic set the fire, causing him punch Sonic in the face and Shadow had to break up the fight. They figured out it wasn't Sonic's fault, but never found out exactly what happened.

-- The Riders games are just random times when Jet and his skater friends challenge Sonic to skateboarding races.

-- The Storybook games (SatBK and Secret Rings) were plays of King Arthur and the Round Table and Arabian Nights put on by the theater department that Sonic somehow managed to star in.

-- Forces was a giant Nerf battle/capture the flag type game all across campus. Sonic's team was winning and Infinite decided it would be more interesting if he got Sonic out of the way, so he ended up locking Sonic in a storage room for six hours and a large part of the rest of the game was Sonic's team trying to find out where he was and break him out while Infinite's team tried to keep them from finding him.

-- The Metal Virus arc from the IDW comics was a campus-wide game of "zombies" where if you got tagged you were turned into a "zombot" (far less angsty that the real arc)

-- The Murder of Sonic was Amy's birthday party and it happened basically like it did in the game except it took place in different rooms on campus instead of a train and there was no big boss fight at the end. Espio did actually accidentally knock Sonic out and felt absolutely embarrassed about it.

I'm gonna count this as propaganda for the AU Collision @sonic-au-collision

[hedgehog-university-au]

Hehehe definitely The Incident™ 😈

For the creators,

What’s the most out of pocket thing in your au that has/will happen?

This is a humanized Sonic college AU. No world-threatening events or battles to the death here, just good old-fashioned fun and bonding! (That doesn't mean all the characters are trauma-free, though 😈.) College is a great place for friendships to develop, learning to take place, and pasts to heal!
