I just had to reblog this.

Because this is cool shit if you think about it, it would have fastening implications for the story

To expend further on my Zeti and Echidnas idea, maybe one of the Zeti meet Locke, Knuckles father, and had a relationship with him. They ended up having a kid together, but Knuckles had to go with his father instead of his mother, since Locke saw potential in his son. Since Knuckles has a affinity with the earth, I thought it would be neat if he would have geomagnetism, since he has the magnetic abilities of Zeti as well.

I like the fact that movie shadow seems to be the character that refuses to heal , he changes , but only for the worse, he is so trapped and suffocated in his grief and rage, it makes him vulnerable and fragile, but a living weapon with the threat of destroying the world, for reasons far worse than just “ being evil”. He remembers the time he was happy, the time he was content and things were fine. He remembers that love being ripped out of his grasp, and from then on, healing was something he just couldn’t do even if he wanted to. He’s a character who unravels throughout the narrative in the most devastating, heartbreaking ways, Every time he is given a chance to change he cant see any other way than the path for revenge and pain. He refuses to heal, he refuses to change for the better because he doesn’t believe that’s possible for him anymore.

The Three Laws of Fandom

If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.

If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.

Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.

The First Law of Fandom

Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)

It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.

There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

The Second Law of Fandom

Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)

Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom. 

If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.  

But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”

It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.

The Third Law of Fandom

Ship And Let Ship (SALS)

Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.

It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.

You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.

It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.

These three laws add up to the following:

You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.

Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.

WOH!Raph sheet

Why tf was he so hard to do like jesus-

[monkeyqueen2012]

This is also a shameless reblock. Because this is cool as fuck

thats right yall its time for another shadow-centric sonic au

its also a long one so ill put the lore underneath the cut (my writing isnt the greatest right now bcuz im tired and ive been writing for almost 12 hours straight lmao i can no longer create proper sentences)

debating calling it Sonic 4D Blast because hey reference

Everything is pretty much the same (wow how original, right) but on the ARK, when Black Doom gave Gerald his DNA, Gerald accidentally created a 4th dimensional entity. No one knows how or what to do about it. Gerald just did his stuff with Black Doom's DNA, turned around, and there was Shadow (named by Maria for his lack of a shadow). Shadow was able to successfully cure Maria, and when Gerald's reports indicated so, GUN became suspicious of the almost miraculous turnaround and started investigating.

Once they found out about Project Shadow and what Gerald had somehow done, they regarded Shadow as a top priority threat and began developing experimental technology to counter Gerald's "weapon" in secret.

It took a few years of observation to make sure Maria really was cured, and during that time, she and Shadow became extremely close. Most of the scientists on the ARK either feared him or were cautious around him, though, not quite sure if he could be fully trusted due to all the uncertainty around how he worked.

Eventually, GUN decided to launch a raid on the ARK. Everyone onboard was given sufficient warning that the shuttle was approaching thanks to Shadow, but no one knew why. Once onboard, they immediately began interrogating the scientists and searching for Project Shadow. A soldier shot at Maria in an attempt to get them to cooperate, but Shadow revealed himself and stopped the bullet from hitting her. (im tired pretend theres a conflict escalation here) One thing led to another, and Shadow ended up getting a gold ring forced into his wrist - the experimental technology GUN had been developing the whole time.

It was a set of four golden rings meant to confine Shadow to the 3rd dimension, and while one didn't do it immediately, it slowed him down enough for the soldiers to get the others on him, trapping him in a 3d form and shooting Maria anyway to punish him for acting out.

yap yap yap the rest of the scientists are massacred and Gerald is arrested as per canon event. Shadow is also taken into GUN custody and tortured in a variety of ways, under the guise of scientific research (green line down torso on ref is a scar from vivisection), all while being in indescribable pain from being confined to the 3rd dimension. For 50 years, this is an on and off thing, and he is kept top secret, only known about by some of the highest clearance agents.

Eggman, looking through GUN's databases for anything that could be of use to him, finds one of Gerald's old reports that slipped through the cracks, and begins the search for Project Shadow. The events of SA2 happen, and after Heroes, Shadow is able to break free from the confinement of the Inhibitors, finally freeing himself from the 3rd dimension.

i think theres more id usually add at this point but my brain has literally clocked out so ill just add more like tomorrow or whenever. but basically now shadow just kinda chills like that one homie you see every once in a while

[monkeyqueen2012]

It’s done! That said, photoshop is a bit weird about Pdfing the whole thing in a way that doesn’t look garbage or break, so I’ll be dealing with that another time.

So, here’s version one.

[monkeyqueen2012]

new sonic au lol

it's kinda long so i'll put it under the cut (shadows design is under there too)

(copy-pasted from an ask i sent) everything is basically the same, except now shadow is a toon character created in the sonic equivalent of the 30s instead of the 50s. maria's disease kicked in a little later in life, and all gerald really knew to do was quarantine her in her room, so the only sources of entertainment she really had was stuff that was already in her room and a small tv that gerald introduced into the environment for her.

as per canon event, gerald was contacted by GUN to create a bioweapon for them, and conveniently being a decent artist, he drew up a lot of possible designs. because maria took a liking to the cartoons that played on tv, gerald ended up doodling some more cartoony designs to make maria happy. black doom (basically a god) found out about the bioweapon project and came to gerald, offering help in exchange for an explanation of the project. that's all, really. he pinkie swears. as gerald was yapping, black doom started viewing his art gallery and really liked one of a cartoon mobian hedgehog, bringing it to life with chaos energy, giving him toon abilities (which is also like a roundabout chaos control kind of). he was also immune to all sickness, and couldnt host bactieria or viruses (because technically hes not real), so he was able to come and go from marias room as he pleased, letting them become best friends. once gerald noticed, he started to wonder is shadow could maybe lead to a cure, so he took some of the ink shadow was made of to do personal experimentation with, lowkey abandoning the bioweapon project. GUN found out about this theft of government property and it led to gerald and maria getting shot, as well as geralds entire team (all of whom conveniently never noticed the missing ink), and shadow getting locked in an ink jar to go in GUNs archives.

in this au, all the events of sa2 happen, but instead of destroying the earth with the ark (which doesnt exist), shadow threatens to turn off the sun. the moon, eggman gets him to break in half, simply to show off his power and back up his threats, and the only reason his redemption happens is because he has a theatric streak a mile wide, so he has to be all dramatic about it, which gives sonic and co the time to turn him back to good. black doom, who had actually been the one to change up shadows memories, was not happy about his plans getting foiled, so he came back with the black comet to destroy earth himself, leading to super sonic and super shadow beating back him and the black comet in place of final hazard. shadow falls through the atmosphere and literally burns into ashes. this fall actually kills him, and he turns into ink again, but eggman finds the ink, commissions an artist for a design (hes a villain, not a monster), and gets a badnik to draw it with shadows ink, bringing him back to life

shadows abilities include minor shapeshifting, turning himself into an ink blob, and general toon physics stuff

might finish later

apparently one of my favorite hobbies is making shadow way more powerful than he needs to be

10 World-Building Aspects You Probably Overlooked

When crafting a fictional world, it's easy to focus on the big picture—epic battles, grand landscapes, and memorable characters. However, it’s also important to flesh out your world-building to create a ‘real’ world. Some aspects to consider when world-building are: 

1. Local Cuisine

Consider the types of food your characters eat and how it reflects their culture, geography, and economy. Unique dishes can reveal societal values and local ingredients.

2. Currency & Trade

Explore the forms of currency used and the trade systems in place. This can include bartering, precious metals, or unique items as currency, influencing economic interactions.

3. Timekeeping Practices

Different cultures may have their own methods for measuring time, whether it's a unique calendar system, seasons, or celestial events, affecting daily life and traditions.

4. Cultural Taboos

Consider the unspoken rules and taboos that govern behavior in your world. These can drive conflict and character motivations, adding depth to societal interactions.

5. Local Flora and Fauna

Unique plants and animals can shape the environment and influence the culture, whether through medicine, food sources, or as part of local mythology.

6. Rituals and Festivals

Incorporate unique rituals or festivals that celebrate historical events, seasonal changes, or important life milestones, providing insight into cultural values and traditions.

7. Language Nuances

Explore dialects, slang, or even the use of sign language that reflects the culture and social dynamics, enriching dialogue and interactions between characters.

8. Architecture and Housing Styles

The design and materials of buildings can reflect climate, resources, and cultural values. Unique architectural features can tell a story about the society that built them.

9. Social Hierarchies and Classes

Examine how social structures affect character relationships and interactions. Class distinctions can influence everything from daily life to political power.

10. Environmental Impact

Consider how the natural environment shapes societal behaviours, resource usage, and conflicts. Climate and geography can drive migration patterns and societal development.
