Tell me what is REAL

Cosium Forces AU belongs to @maareyas!

The original Cosium AU belongs to LiyuConberma on DA!

I'm soooo sorry for not getting this done sooner! The lineart has been done for a while but I put off coloring because I didn't want to ruin the picture. In the end, it didn't come out quite how I wanted it to, but I'm proud anyway. Hope you like it, Reya!

More Sonic OC fanart, but not any OC, my favorite OC ever, Benonic the Hedgehog, created by LiyuConberma. He's such a cute bean!

I've never read his entire backstory, but from what I recall, he's a forever-13 immortal being who just needs some love, from a world who treated him so poorly like a monster. Mass murder? What muurdaaa 🤨??

I can say my own Sonic OC Yama had some influence of his 🤭

Back when I was first learning to draw Sonic characters, I tried to do some Cosium characters without using a reference.

So here's Ben and Darren. My BOYS!!! Except the art is old and bad.

One thing I did back then to practice was pull up a reference and then copy the art exactly to the best of my ability in order to learn the shapes. So here's what I did:

That picture of Ben is my pride and joy!!!! Probably one of my favorite things I've ever drawn. :D (Please click to see the full picture. You need to see him in all his glory.)

Reference for Ben. Reference for Kaze and Sapphire.

Trying to learn to actually draw Ben :D

Started out kinda rough but I think I'm getting the hang of it! Love this boy SO much!!! (Also, yes, I'm aware the way I draw the noses makes no sense with his mask but shhhhh don't worry about it-)

How would Scourge and Duke fare in your Cosium AU?

Okay, first thing you need to know is that Cosium isn't my AU. Cosium was created by LiyuConberma on DA. I made this big masterpost if you're interested in checking it out or here's a playlist for a more casual introduction to things.

That said, let's get into this because oooooo this is an interesting thing to think about!

Alright, let's assume that Scourge and Duke somehow end up getting transported to Cosium (which is the name of the country, not the world btw). Honestly, unless they appear within the castle itself, they're probably not going to get noticed for a while. Duke was created by the Master Emerald, so he almost definitely doesn't have counterpart here. Scourge is just different enough from Sonic that no one's gonna recognize him as the prince and as long as he gets him and Duke some new clothes fast, they won't raise any suspicions.

In all honesty though, Scourge probably isn't going to realize he and Duke stand out like a sore thumb. XD The moment these two come into contact with anyone someone's gonna figure out they're not from around here. Actually, wait, let's make this interesting! Ben tends to hang out in Cosium Town a lot from what I remember, so what if he bumps into Scourge and Duke? Ooooooo!!! Ben is pretty perceptive, so if anyone is going to recognize Scourge as an alternate Sonic, Ben would!

Ben is definitely confronting Scourge the moment he sees him and a fight is definitely breaking out. Scourge (and Duke) will try their best, but come on. This is Ben we're talking about here! Ben, the Protector-Assassin of Cosium! He's winning without a doubt. Probably knocks Scourge out, and might be able to get Duke to calm down. Possibly. Either way, they get to the castle, Scourge wakes up, introductions to the royal family and then we get to start the shenanigans! >:)

I think everyone would love Duke immediately. They'd try to play with him or otherwise hang out with him all the time, resulting in one very disgruntled Scourge. Depending on if Darren is here or not, (because spoilers) he might realize something's up with Duke's origins 'cause of his royal gift. Once he's spent a bit of time around him though, I think Darren would like Duke as well. Scourge meanwhile, is not gonna be happy at all.

Scourge has some angst when it comes from his family. If remember right, we don't know anything about his mom, and his dad was king of Moebius until Scourge straight up murdered him. So yeah. He's not gonna be happy about being around another Sonic AND having to be around his family. A family that's just so darn HAPPY to be around each other. To be together. They all love each other SO MUCH and it makes Scourge sick.

Sonic tries to reach out to him but Scourge keeps shutting him down. He doesn't want to be here. He doesn't need this. To have a FAMILY like this. Scourge has Duke. A family member that (despite being forced on him) Scourge CHOSE. He CHOSE to take care of Duke. To love him. To become his brother. Scourge totally could've just abandoned Duke, but he didn't. He made the choice to keep him.

Basically, Scourge doesn't like Sonic's massive family and the fact that they're all biological (aside from Ben and Trails).

Aaaaaand that's all I've got for now! :D

Little heads-up about Fight for Brother: It has a Mature filter because it has depictions of abuse, especially sexual abuse that can be very upsetting. Definitely take note of the warnings when reading this one.

I've personally only read it once. I don't think anyone will miss too much if they decide to skip it. It mostly focuses on elaborating more on Ben's trauma.

Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, I've never read it since I don't actually have a DA account. Everyone take note of that if you do and decide you want to read this one!

The slow realization that the fact that the Cosium fandom isn't very big over here means I'm gonna have to create all the ship art myself.
