since my au fic is post-movie 3 made before movie 3 came out, i was expected and prepared to diverge from canon, whatever it happened to be. and to be clear, i'm not going to complain about it. i just think it's funny what ended up the same and what ended up as wildly different.

like, setting the ark on earth instead of space was kind of a given, tbh. so was shadow trying to get revenge. killing the olive garden guy? i almost feel bad about making him such a jerk in my fic, but i have no plans to kill him, so 😅.

not to mention, in my fic, it's sonic who (almost) gets hurt by shadow which freaks tom out a bit, but the movie did the opposite XD. so now im rewriting scenes to try to make it more clear that tom is wary of shadow due to being overprotective and not, like, a personal vendetta of being punched in the face haha.

Let’s make a basket of fics!

Okay @humanityinahandbag made a great point in their post here. I’ll just drop quick quote which was:

“Let’s all not give the person taking office on TV the attention he so pathetically craves and read a little”[ FANFICTION] “together, shall we?”

I think that’s a spectacular idea and would like to invite and implore our fellow Sonic writers to jump on this post and reblog a link to some of your stories. Old, new, complete or unfinished, anything ya got welcome here. Just a little basket of fics for anyone who needs a brake right now.

So, I’ll just quietly place my (currently 120,000 word) Knuckles and Sonic epic here, into the basket for your consideration.

And if you didn’t click the link above I’m just gonna slide @humanityinahandbag ‘s Shadow whump fic in there too.

To the rest of you. Show me whatcha got!

Tagging a few mutuals for more offerings to the basket: @speedy-1236 @mcfanely @un-pearable @mama-qwerty @nights-nonsensical-ramblings @aphantimes

Protect your mental health. Happy Reading.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise? + Silver

I just know what you're going to say😂

If the answer is "completely remove his bite", you'd be correct XD Yeah, I'm always seeing a lot of posts that describe Silver as a socially anxious wreck, or just very weak and timid, or incapable of standing up for himself, and so on. Which are incredibly inaccurate, because this is the guy who ran madly around a forest asking everyone where he could find the Iblis Trigger with zero concern for how it'd make him look, haha. And he's always itching to fight, too; in Generations he outright calls his rematch with Sonic "fun". He's a blood knight through and through! If you insult him, you're about to catch those hands and a couple of crates thrown your way for good measure. Plus, I don't recall him ever having been scared of something? He's been horrified before, by Blaze sacrificing herself at the end of his '06 story, but that's not the same as being scared. In TSR there's that bit about his premonition that's giving him a bad feeling, but he actively puts measures in place to keep an eye on things with Omochao's help. He's really not a sitting duck who's always super anxious about everything out of his control; Silver's a really proactive kind of person who's right on top of solving problems. And it paid off, because the future's sky is blue and everybody's got a smile <3 "Despise" is a strong word, but there's definitely common thoughts on Silver floating around where I wonder how the fandom could ever have gotten them for this specific character. But I appreciate that there's also people out there who describe a Silver that's much more aligned with how I view his personality!🍀

Since you did the angst headcanons for Movie Shadow, do you have any sweet and wholesome ones, to even the scale?

Even the scale, you say? Challenge accepted.

Pre-Sonic 3

Before Maria had met him, Shadow had only used nonverbal expressions to communicate with Gerald and the other scientists. She helped him learn basic letters and numbers and even taught him how to speak by teaching how to say "yes" or "no" to questions, asking how he feels about an activity they did together, even finding his favorite type of music he likes to listen to with him humming along with the beat and singing the lyrics.

The start of Shadow’s addiction to coffee beans was completely on accident. Basically, Gerald left his unbrewed coffee on the counter, Shadow got curious, took a few of them, and nibbled on them. Next thing you know, the entire can was empty, and he was sitting on the floor trying to tear open the already empty can to get to the crumbs.

One of the reasons why the blanket tent was always up in the main room of Gerald's quarters was because Shadow liked to sleep underneath it whenever he would feel the need to sleep. The little nest of blankets and warm color glow of the lights brought him relaxing comfort to where he'll actually sleep soundly for a while. You'll just walk past it, and you could hear soft snoring and seeing his air shoes sticking out on the floor.

He used to go with the random dance sessions because it made Maria happy, but he actually did find the fun in it once they started dancing more and more as time went on.

Due to knowing how much being in the lab and being experimented on makes him feel depressed, Maria will try to get him out of them each time with her own plan. They wouldn't always work, but he was grateful when they would

After the notorious drawing Maria drew on his lab tube, he wanted to try and draw it as well and would practice drawing the shape and other details over and over until he matched Maria's drawing. Best to say, a lot of paper was used.

He absolutely dislikes laser pointers. Maria could never figure out why, but she tried to see what he thought, pointed the laser at the ground, and it sent him running away at near Mach speed to get away from it. Gerald tossed it out immediately afterward.

Even though he's not much of an eater for food in general, he will partake in Maria's annual snack heist. They would go and sneak into the kitchens when it's quiet and snatch whatever interests them and rush back to her room. Most of the stuff he would get was for her since he knew what her favorites were.

He is a bit of a cuddle bug, not too bad, but once Maria introduced him to the art of snuggles and cuddles, he will seek them out if he is touchstarved enough.

Shadow was the one who made the friendship bracelets Maria wears in the flashbacks. It took some difficulty due to his fingers being bigger, but he managed to get it down and gave it to her as a gift.

He is the #1 hide and seek champion on the base. Finding Maria was always easy and quick, but she always had trouble finding him due to him being able to hide pretty much anywhere. Although, there were times he would just walk closely in the back of her and move around her whenever she would move just because he found it humorous.

As much as he doesn't want to admit it, he loves it when Maria gives him forehead kisses. Whether it's in a tender way or an over-the-top goofy fashion, he likes the affection. Based on the artwork made by @butterflyscribbles

Another thing he likes to do is listen to the sounds of rain. Whenever he gets near the entrance of the facility or goes to a part of the site where he can hear it easily and would listen to it for as long as the rain would fall.

One of Shadow’s weaknesses that only Maria fortunately knew about was that he is pretty ticklish on his sides. She found out on complete accident, helping him try to brush his fur after he had trouble doing it himself.

He was confused about how it worked until she explained to the best of her ability on how it worked, with Gerald filling in the rest for him. Although she had successfully launched a few surprise attacks on him, he would launch a counterattack thanks to Gerald giving him some pointers if she ever tried to tickle him randomly.

Speaking of counterattacks, he totally raged waged war via popcorn after that one time she flicked a piece at him during their movie watch.

Post-Sonic 3

When he eventually recovers after the events of Sonic 3, he wanders around the countryside. Looking at landscapes of nature, watching the animals as they live in the environments and stargazing.

There were times he came upon small towns as he wandered and contemplated exposing himself to the humans, but decided against it due to him still not trusting anyone he fully knew from before.

He eventually makes his way into the state of Idaho and stays there for a while.

During this time, he ends up accidentally befriending a little stray cat after he sees it in an alley and swipes some meat from a nearby deli to give it some food. Due to this action, the kitty imprints on him almost instantly and doesn't leave him alone.

He tries to get it to leave him alone, even teleporting a far distance away from it so he doesn't have to harm it, but somehow the kitty ends up tracking him down and constantly stays by him.

Much to his genuine surprise, Shadow actually gets accustomed to the cat's company and decides to care for her at the best of his ability, even giving her the nickname of "Motor" due to her purring reminding him of a motorcycle engine.

I’m just sayin this is totally how Shadow would be if he moved in with the wachowskis

[nonbinarycharmybee]

Honestly they could use Infinite to make more Sonic storybook games if they wanted to. I know he probably doesn’t have the phantom ruby/reality warping powers anymore, but the mental image of him doing this to Sonic and throwing him in a random book is just too funny

Last thing Sonic hears before being sent to eeby deeby

[nonbinarycharmybee]

the thing is that like,,, ok bear with me

a Tails without a Sonic can still be Tails. hes not automatically gonna be fucked without a Sonic (though it can happen). anyone couldve shown him that kindness he needed when he was younger and he wouldve followed them with just as much loyalty

a Sonic without a Tails tho? oh boy. that guy is FUCKED right off the bat. you cant replace his Tails with anyone else because hes gonna turn out to be a prick either way

we KNOW this because he met Amy before he met Tails, and he wasnt exactly friends with her. they were friendly, but he just saw her as just another person to save

a Sonic having a Tails is a Sonic that has grown and become friendlier, more personable, and stronger in-turn

theres a reason why the cosmic truth is that SONIC needs Tails, not the other way around

[nonbinarycharmybee]

Since tiktok is being mean. Take my little edit of the brothers! Sonic and Tails have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! Its only fair that I show them a little love.
