FRANCIS. and donnie. and…… 🙈 ezzie… ezzie dax.

jesus christ this is long. im putting it under a readmore

franny:

Sexuality Headcanon: bisexual. I don't think he realized it until his teen/adult years and now it doesnt really affect his life much now since he married piama so young but I can also see him using the fact he likes men as a way to rebel against lois (sidnote i wouldnt really consider lois homophobic if any of her kids came out she would be like "well i believe in equality so I'm going to make all you boys' lives equally miserable regardless of your sexuality. idgaf if you're gay go clean the toilet". um anyway). i just think it would be funny if piama had a celebrity crush or something and she was like wow hes sooo hot and francis would b like yeah he is 🤨😳

Gender Headcanon: i think hes a whiny little cis boy sorry. francisgender

A ship I have with said character: i do think he and piama are cute together :) i just wish she was in the show more and had an actual personality and stuff >:(((((((

A BROTP I have with said character: I like when he's with the rest of his family and gets to hang out with his brothers :) DEWER ESPECIALLY there is something so special to me abt him taking care of dewey and being kinder to him than malcolm and reese are

A NOTP I have with said character: Any other time in the early seasons when he dated a random girl for 1 episode i was like. um ok? but i didnt really HATE any of those

A random headcanon: uhhhh i feel like i should have something prepared to say here but idk. I think he listens to. weezer. fuck this

General Opinion over said character: FEMINIST WOMEN LOVE FRANCIS. also you already know every opinion ive ever had about francis already but hes so pathetic and stupid I need to squish him between my thumb and forefinger

don of tello lol:

Sexuality Headcanon: HES SO GAYBOY. LOOK AT HIS GAY ASS ANIME GIRL STANCE WHAT IS THISSSSSS

Gender Headcanon: i dont think he is cis or trans i think he is a turtle . i think he can swimming in the water for algaes. hope this helps

A ship I have with said character: nobody... tbh the ninja turtles are kinda unshippable to me. theyre just Creatures they dont “date”. But im not that far into the show yet so maybe there is another character that he can have a yaoi moment with later. But im not counting on it

A BROTP I have with said character: obviously all 4 of da turtle brothers are awesome together but DONNIE AND MIKEY ARE BESTIE VIBES!! Theyre my 2 favorites and i love their dynamic esp since they get paired up kinda often. I feel like they are the closest to each other out of all of them cause they’re both kind of the “weird” ones. Theyre neurodivergent and a minor. Also i like that donnie calls mikey “michael” its funny

A NOTP I have with said character: theres not really any viable shipping options to like or dislike . other than like the really reprehensible stuff like incest which is just like Why. do you know how sad and upsetting it is that so many tmnt blogs have to stipulate “no incest” in their bio? Can we all be normal and regular please?

A random headcanon: definitely the most online guy. Its really funny to enivision him being like a discord mod and getting into fights with people on reddit. Basically this 👇

General Opinion over said character: he’s kind so annoying but in a funny and endearing way (much like many of my favorite guys...) but he ourple so that makes up for it. My favorite tutle

ezzie:

Sexuality Headcanon: Dax and all their symbionts are like. Inherently and canonically bisexy

Gender Headcanon: everyone likes to take the “I’m having trouble with my pronouns!!” line out of context 😑 but for real she said “some mornings I don’t know if im a man or a woman until i pull back the sheet” which um... kinda transphobic... we CANCEL the ezri!!!! Jk she can be whatever you want baby. Any pronouns

A ship I have with said character: MIRROR EZRI INTENDANT KIRA HOT SOAPY BOOBS YURI LESBIAN KISS

A BROTP I have with said character: she has no friends lol sorry. Theres not really any bestie vibes between her and sisko the way there was with jadzia

A NOTP I have with said character: ONE MILLION TIMES JEZRI. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!! umm also when she started making out with worf i was like fml. That episode got me feeling so worfzia warrior but only because i was thinking “damn i wish jadzia was still here and worf was making out with jadzia instead.” it just feels weird to me

A random headcanon: idk what do you want me to say. shes so tumblrina.General Opinion over said character: i know ive tormented you enough with the senorita awesome video but that really is how i see her. Im so sorry sam please dont be mad at me but I just don’t like her that much. She’s so #QUIRKY and its really grating. And I know that she didn’t formally complete her training but she is NOT a good ship’s counselor. If i went to my therapist and told her i was depressed or whatever and she was like “yeah sometimes i wanna kill myself too 😋 the #intrusivethoughts are so AWKO TACO!!” i think i would blow my brains out. But in Field of Fire when she was trying to solve that murder case and was hunting down that vulcan guy with a cool gun that was the ONE epsiode where i liked her and thought she was cool. I would like her more if she was badass like that more of the time

When did you create your muse?

Created my muse during my first?? summer of graduate school when I didnt have wifi and was just spiraling into my first really deep depression relapse so I needed something to do and the tmnt rp was tooo toxic to stay in so i moved fandoms and well......

Where did you find inspiration for your muse?

Basic psychology behind Shatterstar and his development and I wondered how different that would look if they didnt have a team etc. I was going to make a shatterstar blog but I saw how strict most of the marvel blogs were and figured Id be better off making an oc than struggling to read all the comics at once and then stressing about things being Accurate. This was especially true after I read the first Longshot series (a comic I would love to own a paper copy of one day) and I was super inspired by Nocenti and I credit her with a lot of inspiration for Catalyst’s character and personality

Do you have any NPCs for your muse’s world or story? If yes, can you tell us something about them?

Tonnnnnns! Most people know my OC Geist on my multimuse but theres a whole gd crew that traveled with and live with Catalyst in mutant town.

Pixie Strike is an ex-figure skating champion and amputee. Hes the second oldest and has such a puppy crush on Northstar and was v. inspired by him, has a poster on his wall from way back when he was Jean Paul Martin baaaaybeee he has always had a crush and been a fan and its why he started skating, his appreciation never wavered when JP was outed as a mutant. Hes extremely protective of his younger brother and kinda cold on the outside warm on the inside type of person.

His brother Record has a time based mutation that I never really specified because I was always too distracted on his stamp collection. Theyre both orphans from Northern Michigan their parents died of a hotshot given by their dealer to steal their stuff .

Sedna is the oldest and shes from a village in Alaska. Shes getting ready to go to law school . She has the ability to produce and manipulate water usually into the shape of sea life because she fucking loves aquariums okay her room is an aquarium.

Break Up who I may be putting on my multimuse but idk

Mushroom girl whos name I have forgotten completely rn: her mutation is to grow mushrooms on her body which she sells for profit

andddd so many more....

List some of your muse’s favourites! (eg. food, movie, book, song, drink, place, celeb, etc.)

Favorite foods: fruits and starbursts

Favorite Movie: Jurassic Park (or anything Star Trek)

Favorite Book: The Hobbit

Favorite Song:

Favorite Drink: vanilla or caramel lattes thanks

Favorite Place: his balcony garden where he takes some great A+ naps

Favorite Celeb: Shatterstar counts so...

Favorite color: blue or green

Hey Steph! So, I’m going to start off by saying that I actually really love your art and I think you’re really really skilled. However, my opinion and the opinion of anyone else doesn’t actually matter!! It’s YOUR art and if the way you draw makes you happy then keep drawing like that. Draw what you like in the style that you like because in the end nobody else really matters. Draw for yourself not others, especially not people who are going to make you feel bad about your art 💖

khorazir said: @inevitably-johnlocked Your Darkwing Duck art is fantastic 😍 I think your style works very well for comic characters, and I’d love to see your own comic one day – but yeah, I totally get the time issue. There hasn’t really been progress with my graphic novel for months now, too.

kilmameri said: so i got curious and wanted to see what anon meant by the uncanny valley effect on your art. i didnt know you drew, steph! i think theres nothing unoriginal about your art. the poses are fine, the physics and anatomy look alright, shading has color, etc, like it is technically pretty good and it shows that youre good at drawing

personally, i think the uncanny thing is the clash of dark and very visible lineart with the realistic style youre going for. as you draw digitally, you could experiment with coloring the lineart as well? make it blend in a bit more. or trying to lean more on the realism and drop the lineart alltogether?

or lean on the lineart even more, but that doesnt seem like a thing you would enjoy based on a very brief look on your deviantart. theres also the colours that do remind me of colored pencils that we all used at school. so, try different color palettes?

my favorites from your deviantart were the black and white portraits, i think it was 12th doctor that i liked the most, but they all looked great. i think it is because your art is great when the individual parts arent distracting from eachother. i wish you all the best and i hope i didnt step over a line here, have a good day

------------

@consultingravenclaw221b Thank you Lovely! These days I draw what I want and for myself. I join art things when I can, because I do like doing stuff like that, and especially for Fandom Trumps Hate, it’s for a good cause :) And it’s fun :) Which is why I draw whatever fandoms or stuff interest me LOL. I should go back to drawing dragons and furries LOL.

@khorazir THANK YOU!!! It was the fandom I was in BEFORE TMNT but after Sonic, LOL. I have LOVED DWD forever. I need to draw more again.

And yeah, with regards to a comic, I actually want to take someone’s fic and convert it to a comic because I can’t write a decent story, LOL. But yeah, Time is something I don’t have because of my day job.

@kilmameri yes! I advertise it rarely: My OTP art blog is @stephdrawsjohnlock so that’s where all my more recent stuff goes to, LOL. And wrt the line colouring, I’ve actually been starting doing that within the past year, but I’m still not committing to the line colouring, hah.

I suck SO HARD at realism, and my lineless stuff looks like trash, so I don’t do that often, LOL. I am better, it seems at BW stuff because I have a style I’ve committed to. With colours, especially since I switched to digital, I haven’t seemed to commit to one colouring style and I keep trying too hard to emulate my traditional style. Which I need to stop. I think my style lends itself more to cel shading I just.... am not confident at it. I need to do some online courses I think.

Thank you all for your kind commentary. :)

I feel so terrible saying this because I don't know if there's a better way, but after reading the reply where you mentioned that you feel bad your art isn't getting out there, I went and had a look. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into it, but there really seems to be a bit of an uncanny valley effect when you draw people - it might be an issue with the level of detail/realism you're trying to go for, or perhaps the shading? I love your use of colour but the characters feel creepy.

Hey Nonny!

Thanks for your honesty; I’ll take it to heart and try to improve. This is the proper way for constructive criticism, and it’s appreciated.

I think it’s just more frustrating because this has been something ongoing for literally decades. I used to draw anime/manga style, my art was considered shit. So I tried a little more loose and fun style, my art was considered unoriginal. I focused on a chibi style, it was considered unoriginal. My last style, people hated it because they said my heads were too big / feet too big (funny thing about this one, another big name artist in another fandom actually stole my crooked tails/big feet style, and everyone fucking praised them and my art was still ignored).

I switched to humans AND digital art a few years ago, and I still have troubles with noses and mouths, and I can’t do either of those right either.

You can actually see my art progression over on my deviantART. There’s over 1000 pieces up there, I think. Just so much of the gallery is old stuff that I cringe when I go to it, LOL. But I’ve always found passion and love in fandom, and I’ve always wanted to do a comic, but time is something I’m in short supply of.

I can’t please anyone, anymore, honestly. I have other qualms regarding certain... styles... but I’m not going to publicly say it here, because I already get enough hate in my inbox. It’s mostly all a self-esteem issue these days. People like my art fine when I do stuff for them. But as soon as it’s not for them, I get shit on. I’ve seen other styles similar to mine, and they get lots of traction, so I dunno. And as I said, people have down right stolen my art before (hence the big watermarks), and yeah.

I’ve never done bad in art classes in high school and college (90+, deductions were always because I was always late with assignments), and I’m a professional graphic designer, so I guess I just have a hard time with... thinking beyond the confines of a social media shitpost piece? Newspaper design destroyed my creativity, Lovely. Because almost 20 years of design jobs “everything has to be just so” has pretty much erased the creativity I used to have, LOL. I like it when my freelance clients let me work beyond “photo, name, call to action” LOL. My day job is great but we have to pretty much have to stay on-brand all the time.

I know I need a lot of learning to still do re: digital art, and I do lessons online here and there from time to time. It’s just hard when my current job demands so much time from me, and depression and feelings of self-loathing leave me constantly just... not up, you know? I used to have a lot more free time than I do nowadays, which is ironic given I’m at home all the time.

Anyway. I know those aren’t excuses. I just want to make people happy with my art, and it’s hard when work and my own anxiety bleeds me dry, y’know? I do art for myself more than anything, just something to break up the ennui of my day job and loneliness.

Thank you for your respectful comments. I’ll try from this point forward to tweak my stuff, and I hope you’ll come back in a few months / another year and let me know if you think.

7/9 Free Day

Today I woke up around 6 and went to breakfast around 7:30 with Alex. I had rice with minced pork, some weird fruit (maybe guava?), pineapple, scrambled eggs, sausage, and some buns. Then we went to the room & I blogged until around 11 & I went downstairs to meet with people to go out.

About 7 of us went out with 5 Taiwanese students. We walked to the city hall and rented bikes from the bikeshare station with our city bus cards (which work for bus, train & bikes and maybe other things & you can reload at 7/11). i got on a bike and when we started going I basically immediately fell off after running into a curb, i know have a solid welt on my ankle & two of the girls were laughing and a random lady changed the gear on my bike & said it would be easier if I started on 1 (I was on 3 somehow). We biked to a breakfast market which was neat. We got milk tea & I’m assuming a traditional breakfast. Which was a turnip cake, scrambled eggs, and rice sausage. Then we biked to the train station, I dont know how far it was but it felt far since we had to stop at stop lights and cars & vespas were everywhere. I almost got hit by a car and hit honked at me and Josh got it on video and then the car almost hit the bus which almost hit me so it was very exhilarating.

Then we got to the train station and stopped at 7/11 (they’re a big deal in Taiwan, literally everywhere and have everything). I bought some water and one of the students bought thousand year eggs (idk what it is, but its a weird egg) and I tried one and it was nasty, I cant describe it, the center texture where the yolk is was super powdery and just tasted awful, I dont know the flavor, it was just bad. Then we went into the train station and boarded. It was cool, it didnt go very fast and you could see out the windows which was pretty, and you could see the mountains in the distance outside the city.

We got to Houli where the biking/countryside was. We rented electric bikes, I got on a single and actually managed ok after I figured how to work it (since it was electric). It was honestly super exhilarating and one of the most fun things I have ever done. If a place in Texas had a long route through the country for biking like that I would totally do it. It was gorgeous. We biked along this route which I guess is a tourist area? And so we biked a while and went through this tunnel which was really neat and reminded me a bit of My Neighbor Totoro & also TMNT. Then We stopped before the large bridge and I got on a tandem bike with a student. It was gorgeous and looked over a river area with a bunch of concrete blocks & construction materials in it. We reached a place with food and stopped and ate. I tried fried cuttlefish balls which were very good. Then we biked to another area where a dam was and took pictures which was gorgeous too. Afterwards we biked to another picture spot where there was a part of a railroad and a train to take pictures in. There was this man selling ice cream and he took our picture and he was wearing a minion hat & told us how the area once was a train area but because of an earthquake the trains couldnt reach the area or the tracks broke there or something. Then we noticed it was going to rain soon so we started biking back to town. Nothing else significant happened except one girl at some point ended up falling off her bike but she was ok, she had a huge welt on her head tho and her friends made fun of her.

Then we took the train to a different district for a night market. It was super cool but there were a ton of people basically in a long alley way which was sort of scary. We stopped at a place and got a shaved ice drink which was super good and it was pineapple flavored with maybe brown sugar and dried pineapple chunks that tasted great. Dean came and let us try some of his food (cherry tomatoes stuffed with plum [very good], fried [sorta] octopus which was so so good just like calamari but better, and fried water chestnuts [pretty good]. Then we walked around more and went into a few stores. We found one with a ton of pokemon things and they had dog costume/sweaters and some were pokemon and I almost bought Rosie a squirtle outfit (I may go back even though my mom will be mad if I get that & Rosie will hate me). We looked around some more and then left the market.

After the market we got back on the train and took it back to Taichung. We got ice cream at a place some people went to the first night. IT was super nice & sorta fancy looking. They had so many flavors of ice cream; like 15 different chocolate ones, 10 coffee ones, 15 tea ones & 10 fruit ones. I got some sort of Dark caribbean chocolate which was very nice and it came with one topping & Gordon recommended the pineapple cake which was like a pastry stuffed with pineapple custardy filling that was SO SO good. The ice cream was A++. You could also get like multiple scoops with multiple toppings in a waffle cone so it would be instagram worthy but I didnt want to spend the money on that.

Top five worst Sonic Archie issues

So a while back me and @greenyvertekins talked a bit about our favorite Sonic Archie moments, I was thinking of doing a TOp five/top ten favorite Sonic archie issues but honestly the moments I and Greenyvertekis mentioned were pretty much my favorite/best issues. So if you want to read here! most of them are also from the best written arcs so .....

Then I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to do a top five WORST Sonic arche issues instead? :) (warning Im from the Netherlands so my English is bad, feel free to spell correct me!)

Number 05 Issue 172

Going pretty low in the list because despite this being one of my least favorite issues it should be noted that this was the start from the comic getting better and better at this point, this ugly-face just was the blacksheep from that collection.

Not only was the cover a bad reminder that the comic was seen as bad-furry-romance-drama which I really hoped the comic wanted to distant itself from it, the entire issue is a sadlyalso bad-furry-drama. It starts off with Amy Rose confronting Fiona Fox about the rumors that she heard from Tails that she is cheating on Sonic with Scourge, (the Green Edgy Sonic recolor) Now the story of Fiona Fox is a pretty sad one, she never had much of a character to begin with. She was first introduced as a robot in her child form to lure Tails into a trap. It turns out that Eggman based her off a real person: Fiona Fox who someway or another was left behind by Mighty and Sonic in Eggman’s prison and she manage to escape but stil holding a grudge and got angry at them for it, That is mostly what I remember her from in the past issues. From then on she would just be background character number 55 a freedom fighter with no dialog, the only times I sort of remember her was that she liked the idea of using guns, and that Sonic was afraid for Tails to be rejected by the too-old-for-you girl Fiona.Sonic wanted to talk to FIona about this issue and she mentions she still thinks SOnic is selfish for leaving her behind but that his sacrifice in issue 125 made her change her mind somewhat, That’s it. Now the weird story behind Fiona is that Karl Boilers planned to use her as a second-love interest for Sonic after Sonic broke up with Sally. Sonic was supposed to enter a relationship with Amy Rose shortly after the Sonic/Sally break up. (Keep in ind that Amy Rose back then was still 10 years old mentally at that time YIKES.) and Fiona for whatever reason was to become a rival to Amy for Sonic’s affections. Now Ken Penders apparently interfered with this idea and Karl and Ken changed it into...Fiona Fox becoming Sonic’s girlfriend instead...out of the blue....out of nowhere. At least with Amy you knew she had a crush on Sonic but with Fiona? why would Sonic ever enter a relationship with a girl he hardly interacted with and with a girl his best friend was crushing on? ..moving on various issues later and writer Karl Boilers and Ken Penders were no longer on board and new writer Ian Flyn entered into the picture it was by then far too late to clean up this mess and I could tell from the comic’s writing that Ian wasn’t sure what to do with Fiona, he tried to give her a more Sally-personality with a bad history but that felt tripped and forced. He knew he had to break the two characters off and he thought the best way to do that was to reveal that Fiona Fox became a bad-girl who fell in love with Scourge due to the events off Sonic 150 (dont worry that issue will be brought up later)

Not only did this came out of no where, it felt forced even if Fiona had no character it felt like she really was just a pawn of a writer not sure what to do with her. It also didnt help that the issue ends in a weird anticlimatic way and in the next issue most of the characters dont even talk or seem to be phazed with Fiona’s betrayel and Sonic would be slightly flirtatious with Sally and Amy in the next issue too, (Really Sonic you just got dumped.) The issues saving grace is a cute side story with Amy Rose and Julie Su training together and some decent/good art overall.

Number 04 Knuckles the Echidna issue 32

Yes Knuckles does count as part of the Sonic series, and if the list would be Knuckles comic focused this would have been number one. Not only was this the last issue of probably the most boring arc I ever read It also nailed the coffin on the Knuckles series as it was canned after this issue. It introduced two very uncreative very Un-SegaSonic like characters: Monk and Hunter whose design and motivations are as generic as you can imagine. Ken Penders tries to make you feel for the Monk-character but I dont think anyone was convinced. I own this issue as well and HONESTLY I forgot I even read this issue as a child it was that forgettable, even in my Knucklesfangirl phase as soon as I finished reading the last 3 issues I forgot about it, It also doesnt help that the covers while nicely drawn by Galan were cluttered and too busy, Ken Penders did the book’s art and while he did a perfect job drawing Hunter his cartoon characters were always off-model and the way he draws large mangaeyes didn’t look well. In other words the art wasnt good either.

I only remember these issues because of @hedgehogscantswim review, which I suggest you guys read into as they go into much greater depth on their blog on the flaws of the art, the character designs of Monk and Hunter and the overall big problem the last issue has.

Number 3 Sonic issue 134

Oh Yeah let’s talk about the big one, let’s talk about the issue that caused many Sonic fans to drop the comic, lets talk about the issue that split the fanbase in half and what made the Sonic-Archie comics the laughing stock of Sonic spin offs for years to come until Ian Flyn joined and the much later soft-Reboot. If the Sally/Sonic/Mina love drama didn’t convince people that the comic had badfurryromance drama this issue sure did.

Sonic sacrificed himself in issue 125 to save the world, but was transported to a different planet cause science, he survived and had space adventures with Aliens, met up with Tails parents somehow...(Really those issues are all a blur too me at this point.) he came back to Mobuis only to discover a year has passed since then, he reunites with his nowwithlonghair girlfriend Sally and by issue 125, Sally makes it clear to Sonic that she wants him by his side as she is sort-of forced by her parents to no longer be on the battle field. However Sonic cant possibly do that, he is the hero after all, he cant be tied down Sally clearry suffering from trauma after Sonic’s death begs him to stay by her side, Sonic tearfully tells her he can’t and Sally takes Sonic’s rejection pretty well and says that she knows being a hero is in Sonic’s blood and decides to reject her parents wishes and join her boyfriend and the rest of her friends on the battle field.

No wait Never mind, she SLAPS him across the face and calls him Selfish and breaks up with him afterwards.

Not only did this issue came in the worst possible time when the Sonally/Sonamy ship wars was rampant in the Online Sonic fandom communities. The motivation and reason for Karl Boilers to do this was in such a bad taste as well. Karl who MOST Likely was aware of the growing popularity of the Sonamy ship and the hatred the sonamy fanbase had for Sally, from people calling her a marry sue, a slut because her lack of pants, ugly due to her brown color sceme, and other funny-horrible things because shipping is serious business, Probably wanted to win and be favored by a part of the Sonic fan base and had outlined plans to have Sonic and Amy Rose become an official couple in the comics. (Even if Karl wrote Amy Rose as a 10 year old mentally girl with a body of a 12 year old together with a 17 year old teen Sonic.) They had to become a couple. How to do this you ask? by breaking Sonic/Sally up and portraying Sally out to be a selfish cunt of a woman, not only was this so disgustingly out of character and a slap to the face to the sonally and Sally fans, it was all to make the fans to transaction to the idea of Sonamy instead. It didnt help Sally’s position in the fanbase and she along with Chris and Elise would be among the list of the most hated characters where extreme Sonamy fanbrats now had valid proof on their side.It would take years for Sally to recover. To add insult to injury the only nice thing about the issue is the introduction of new artist John Gray (whose animish-cartoondisneyish style was colorful, pleasant and very pleasing to the eye! was more then needed at that time since the art quality standards was low back then. )John has stated he did NOT like working on this issue either due to the content and story. I am so thankful that Sally has been much better written for years now.

Number 02 Sonic Super Special issue 07 Crossover with Image Comics

Where to start with this, oh boy oh boy. I put this very high on the list because this has to be one of the worst crossovers spin ofss I have ever had the pleasure of reading. and I mean that the Powerrangers/TMNT crossover was more enjoybale that this mess. This is also very high on the list not only because the art was below average and many characters were off models but Mister Ken Penders used this crossover special to shoehorn his own ‘’characters’ from his comic book series the Lost Ones. (who btw got canned after only volume 01) his characters got the most attention out of everyone else. A image-comics with Sonic crossover already sounds sort of weird and silly but hey I am Spawn fangirl, I am intrigued. But I dont even get that.

(oh wait, this is fucking it, Spawn appears for about a page to say no to Sonic and then leaves thats it??) FOR FUCK SAKE....

Honestly @robotnikholmescomicblog gave this comic a great review and I suggest going to their tag of Ken-Penders-Why as they bring out most of the flaws of Ken Penders writing and they said it better then I ever will.

Overall the issue is just a mess, with shallowcheap cameos of image characters, Sonic and the freedom fighters being DICKS to most of the human characters for no reason, a very anti climatic ending and a giant commercial for Ken Penders doomed and boring characters that nobody gave a dam about) characters that he planned to use in ‘’The Lost ones’’ and Knuckles 20 years later. With a character hinting to become Knuckles’s greatest enemy yet with a very ugly boring design that could rivals Hunter. (btw none of these concepts go anywhere, Lost Ones was canned, and Knuckles 20 years later didnt come in fruition the way Ken Penders wanted.)

and number 5, worst issue Sonic issue 150

This is my most least favorite issues up to date and why you might ask

well for one thing the art is okay, I give it that but it doesnt even start with Sonic,

no we get a quick-reveal of AntiSonic pretending to be the real Sonic flirting with all the girls in knothole

We get uncomfortable panels of Mina Mongoose almost cheating on her boyfriend with Sonic, Sonic and Bunnie making out and falling asleep next together, Sonic being creepy at Amy ect and none of the girls seem to realize that this is obvious not the real Sonic but ANti-Sonic. Everbody fails to notice that Sonic is trying to flirt with all the girls he gets his eyes on. Only Tails seems to quistion it. Shows how much his own friends seem to know him. Or his own freaking family. The real Sonic is stuck in anti-mobuis and is busy trying to convince them that he is not AntiSonic, it’s very boring and dull. Also since the real Ant was stuck in anti Mobuis couldn’t he have tried to come back to his own world with Sonic? I dont know that just confused the heck out of me, The extra side story also doesn’t help, Its the conclusion to TailS ‘’the Chosen One’’ which was,,,pretty lame too with bland-art, and has the unfortunate of introducing the fanbase to the still-hilarious Titan Tails

(OHfuckmethat’sstupid.)

So the stories are stupid, the art is okay and lame. Why is it so high on the list?

It’s THE 150 anniversary issue and this is how Karl and Ken apparently wanted to celebrate it? It also doesn’t help that the cover is really underwhelming and boring compared to the 125th issue but that’s it’s least of its problems. A short while later Ian Flyn and Tracey joined the team and Ken and Karl left. For the better. But talk about a lame way to celebrate a 150th milestone. What a waste.
