[im-so-normal-iswear]

Imagine Yandere Sonic with a reader who’s very motherly towards Tails :3 because even though he’s a Yandere that’s still his little guy !! He raised him !! And now his love wants to help !!

A/n: this took a while

Yandere sonic x reader motherly towards tails

You didn’t expect to find yourself so attached to a little fox with two tails, but Miles (tails as Sonic and pretty much everyone else called him) had wormed his way into your heart.

From the moment you met him, you saw the brilliant kid who was so eager to impress his older brother. Sonic had told you plenty about Tails, practically beaming whenever he talked about the little fox’s inventions or plans that saved the whole team numerous times. Seeing Sonic so proud of someone was endearing, but meeting Tails for yourself had sealed the deal.

Tails was a sweetheart, and you adored him almost immediately.

The first time you saw him, he had been tinkering with one of his many gadgets in his workshop. His fur was messy, and he had goggles that sat crooked on his head.

"You're Tails, right?" you had asked, kneeling down to his height. "Sonic’s told me so much about you."

His ears perked up. "What'd he say?"

"He said you’re the smartest, most resourceful guy he knows. I mean, I’m looking at all this" you gestured to the various gadgets scattered around. "and I’m already impressed."

From that moment, you’d made it your mission to look out for him. Sure, Sonic was protective of Tails, but you couldn’t help wanting to mother the poor fox. He was still a kid, after all, and while he had Sonic to guide him, you felt that he needed someone to dote on him, to remind him to take breaks and eat properly when he got too caught up in his work.

Sonic noticed your attachment to Tails almost immediately, and it struck a chord deep within him.

You loved Tails.

His Tails.

Watching the two of you interact pulled on his heart strings.

In Sonic’s mind, this was perfect. You didn’t just care about him, you cared about the person he cared about most. It solidified the idea that you were meant to be part of his little "family." After all, you didn’t just love him, you loved both of them.

But that also came with complications.

While Sonic was thrilled that you cared for Tails, it also ignited a possessive streak in him that was hard to control. He had always been protective of Tails, almost to a fault, and seeing you step into that role stirred something in him.

On the surface, he was supportive, even encouraging you to spend time with Tails. But underneath, his obsession simmered.

What if Tails started to love you more than he loved Sonic? What if you started to love Tails more than you loved him?

The thought made him feel sick, and he hated himself for it. Tails was his little guy, he practically raised him, taught him everything he knew. But you were his, and sometimes, Sonic couldn’t shake the feeling that Tails was stealing bits and pieces of your attention that belonged to him.

Still, he kept those thoughts buried deep. For the most part, he let you mother Tails, but not without inserting himself at every opportunity.

One afternoon, you had brought Tails a basket of sandwiches and snacks, knowing he’d probably been up in his workshop for hours without eating. Sonic had tagged along, of course, watching from a distance as you fussed over the young fox.

"Tails, you’ve got to eat something," you said, placing the basket on the workbench. "You can’t run on fumes."

Tails looked up from his latest project, blinking in surprise. "Oh, I guess I forgot, my bad..."

You gave him a gentle smile and pushed the basket toward him. "That’s what I’m here for. Now, take a break, okay? Your inventions can wait a few minutes."

Sonic leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed as he watched the scene unfold. His heart swelled at how caring you were, but there was a fleeting flicker of jealousy he couldn’t ignore.

When Tails finally relented and started eating, you ruffled his fur affectionately. "Good. See? Doesn't that feel better?"

Sonic's chest tightened. That should be me, he thought. I should be the one getting all their attention.

But instead of saying anything, he strolled into the workshop, putting on his usual confident grin.

"Hey, little buddy! Whatcha working on?" he asked, his tone light but his gaze flickering to you briefly.

Tails perked up. "Oh, trying to find a more efficient wnergy source for one of my planes!"

"Sweet! You’re gonna be flying circles around everyone." Sonic gave Tails a thumbs up, ruffling his head.

As the weeks went by, your bond with Tails only grew stronger, and so did Sonic’s obsession. He started orchestrating ways to keep you closer, using Tails as an excuse whenever he could.

"Hey, Tails is working on something dangerous. You should come keep an eye on him," hed say, even if Tails was just fixing something harmless.

Or, "Tails could use some help organizing his workshop. You’re so good at that stuff."

It wasn’t always subtle, but you didn’t question it. You were happy to help, and Sonic was happy to have you around.

Still, his possessiveness began to show in little ways. He would hover whenever you were with Tails, always inserting himself into conversations or finding excuses to touch you, a hand on your shoulder, an arm slung around your waist. If Tails noticed, he didn’t say anything, but you couldn’t ignore the way Sonic’s grip tightened whenever you paid more attention to Tails than to him.

One evening, after you had spent the entire day helping Tails with a new project, Sonic finally snapped.

"Y'know" he said casually as the two of you walked home "you're pretty good with Tails. Almost too good."

You raised an eyebrow, sensing the edge in his voice. "What’s that supposed to mean?"

Sonic stopped walking and turned to face you, his usual playful demeanor replaced entirely.

"I mean, you spend a lot of time with him," he said, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Not that I’m complaining, but... don’t forget about me, okay?"

You blinked, taken aback. "Sonic, I could never forget about you. You know that."

He stepped closer. "Do I? Sometimes it feels like you’re more interested in Tails than in me."

"That's not true," you said firmly. "I care about both of you."

"But you care about me more, right?"

"Right..?"

remember those sonamy for sonic 4 ideas? here they are i couldnt wait

So, now that Amy is definitely confirmed, based on the after credits scene in Sonic 3, I have some silly thoughts about how Sonic and Amy's relationship could unfold in Sonic 4.

So, first, I think their general dynamic would definitely change. In pretty much every other form of Sonic media, while it has changed a bit recently, Amy is shown as constantly chasing after Sonic despite him avoiding most of her advances anyway.

Now, movie Sonic is definitely not as mature as the Sonics in other medias. A huge part of his continuous character arc is that he's still a kid, a kid that doesn't really know what he's doing.

And here, we have Amy, which, from the very small amount of her character that we've seen, at least seems like less of a damsel in distress. (It reminds me of how they changed Princess Peach's character in the Mario Movie.) In contrast to the story of Sonic CD, we see Amy saving Sonic from the many copies of Metal Sonic.

Now how exactly does this make their dynamic different? Well, if you take an immature Sonic, and put him in the same room as an Amy that needs less saving than the usual, the firsthand difference is undeniable. Thus why I think their dynamic would be reversed in a way, at least, that's what I want to happen.

I have a feeling Sonic would be "chasing" after Amy, but more so in the way that he's constantly trying to impress her. He'd probably get into some unsavory situations due to his most likely failed attempts at this, prompting Amy to have to make sure he doesn't keep doing stupid things.

Amy herself wouldn't understand why Sonic kept getting himself into trouble like that, much less that he did it for her, until she sought out some third-party information.

Speaking of (I never really mentioned anything related but just go with it), I haven't talked much about Amy's own feelings yet.

So we know about a possible tiny fraction of her character, and while that's not a lot to go off of, I don't see any harm in forming early ideas based off it.

When Amy, presumably, met Sonic by saving him from the Metal Sonic copies, I don't think she would really think too much of him at first. As soon as he actually started talking, though, she'd find interest- I wouldn't wanna take away the part of her that probably falls in love way too easily.

Unlike the usual Amy we're probably all used to, she wouldn't show her feelings that much. She'd have the occasional giggle at Sonic's attempts at impressing her, even if she didn't know that was why he did it. For all she knows, that's just what he's usually like! Until she inquires with Tails- she learns that she's somewhat special to the blue blur.

I might just be projecting, with the weird way my own feelings work, but I think Amy's little crush on Sonic would skyrocket at that information. Sonic, the guy she only really had a small crush on, was trying that hard to win her over? Admittedly, that was pretty cute in her eyes.

After that Amy would definitely be more forward with Sonic, causing the latter to be a little confused and wonder if a certain two-tailed fox said anything...Guess you can't even trust your best friend with secret crushes anymore, sigh.

If they ended up together, if we were to ever get so lucky, I don't think either would really change how they act around each other, other than holding hands occasionally and maybe a few kisses here and there. Sonic is still adventure focused, though how much he likes Amy is sometimes painfully obvious. He'd gain a little confidence boost if they became official, but overall, if they went on any dates, they'd be dates to kick Eggman's ass for the thousandth time.

That's all I have for now, I'm gonna let the brain worms rest LOL. Thanks to anyone who actually went and read my yapping session

Djo’s 3rd album, The Crux, review

I listened to djo’s crux album because my record store had an early listening party and here are my opinions.

- HEAVY on his Beatles inspirations. There were quite a lot of songs that sounded like some Beatles songs

- his vocals sound really good and you can tell he has been working on them because there are some really good moments where it shines

- there are not really a lot of love songs but more reflection on being in love. (I also was just listening to it over the speaker in a store so I’m not 100% sure about the lyrics but that was the general vibe)

- I loved all the songs but I love this kind of music so it wasn’t hard for me to love them

- this is his best album (but all of his albums are my top of all time so 🤷🏽‍♀️) and it’s sonically different than the others

- his production this time around is insane. Like I swear yall aren’t ready for it. It’s so good and he tries new things and they all blend so beautifully

- Charlie’s garden might get popular on its own but gap tooth smile might blow up on tiktok tbh. It has the potential to be clipped for edits and what not

- egg almost made me cry for personal reasons and so did lonesome is a state of mind (way to start the album lol)

-he beat the 3rd album curse

- I don’t know if commercially it will do as well as end of beginning tbh but I think his average fans will be incredibly satisfied with it

- this man was heartbroken I stg

- he has a lot of parts of the album or phrases that are so catchy they will become ear worms

- I don’t know that his concept really translates in terms of it being like different room and perspectives in the ‘crux’ hotel. Maybe I just need to listen to it again closer to my ears, but after first listen I couldn’t grasp that concept (again, I was in my local record store with people walking around and talking and all that stuff so my review is purely initial thoughts)

- in terms of my specific relatability to the album, that man must be in my head because I’ve been experiencing the same feelings as what he sings about in this album for the last year and it’s so weird the timing of it but everyone should be excited for this album. Get your tickets now if you’re waiting or if they’re not sold out. You’re gonna wanna see him perform these 💙✨

Drift, Optimus Prime, and LOVE

Everyone who has followed this blog for at least a year knows that I ship Drift and Optimus Prime for several (kinda silly) reasons. Namely:

They look hot together (thick thighs squad)

A crystal/horoscope/pagan girlie and an atheist pope. (Oversimplification but funny as fuck)

Deadlock domming/getting dommed by Optimus Prime? Sign me the fuck up.

But.

But I totally overlooked the fact that I have CANON material backing me up. Ohohoho let me get my sources.

Lil disclaimer: I have a love/hate relationship with the first idw run. I don't know which one is stronger tbf. Even if I don't agree with several plot points I'm going to discuss I can still see how they [intentionally or not] formed a bugger picture that serves my purposes. It's a bit of cherry picking if I have to be honest, but I don't feel too guilty looking at all the retcons this series had to begin with.

Why am I saying this? Because Drift as a character is one of the things I both love and hate for the way he was handled as a whole, but I won't go into details because it's not necessary and because I have already seen people on this site articulate this better than I could. The same thing applies to Ratchet, but that is another can of worms, and I am not willing to open it now.

So:

Drift: He comes from Rodion, where he is homeless and is found in a state of confusion by Orion Pax that saved him from Sonic and Boom (these fucking names 💀) and was then brought from HIM to Ratchet's underground clinic.

At this point I was full on rambling in the server becasue:

So to tidy up all that here's what I was hinting at:

Ratchet and his words sure were the initial push that Drift needed to get his life back "together"(as much as one can during a war, but you understand what I'm saying) were it not for Orion Pax's choices he wouldn't be here at all.

Orion Pax saved a mech from two thugs, someone completely out of their wits in that moment, a complete stranger. He had done his job, thugs were dealt with and then he could either arrest Drift (don't quote me on that but I am pretty sure whatever circuit booster he was on was not legal/legally obtained) ergo. Drift would die.

Or take him to a normal hospital, so either Drift died or he would later have troubles with the law, or whatever way the system could further fuck him up. Either way Drift does NOT meet Ratchet.

But Orion Pax took Drift's lufe in his hands and brought him to Ratchet. So he ensured that he had both a good doctor and someone he KNEW and trusted AND that Drift would not suffer more than he already did.

So- Ratchet is sure Drift's [hero/important person/insert better word here*] because he was the doctor that saved him from a fatal overdose and that told him he was special and all that.

But ORION PAX hauled him up and made sure he would live in the first place. And I Will come back to this point later to expand on it. Remember it.

So you see the sentence "what if not the love for life itself of Orion Pax saved Drift?"

This is what then promoted another ramble about a scene I wanted to put in another fic and then about idw OP so... I will ignore the part regarding my wip because it's not too relevant and juno to the idw op part:

To explain how I came to this it's because I was imagining a scene in which Optimus Prime sees Drift and Ratchet and then had a convo with Drift.

And to further prive my point Drift is one of the several statements of LOVE from Op/Orion.

Every action in the comics is driven by an enormous amount of love underneath. The love for "freedom, those he cares about, those that are weaker, those that cannot fend for themselves end even for his enemies and their battles"

Now you can say these are all different kinds of "love" and yet Orion Pax and Optimus Prime both love ardently. His anger and guilt DO come from their love! Ffs it's right there abfjgjg.

Now i went on a rant about Megatron and how he benefits from Optimus' love

Please ignore my bad grammar I was going crazy

The post I was talking about is this one by @desdemonafictional

That inspired part of the entire thing about love and the part about Megatron and fear.

So to go back to my original statement about Optimus Prime and Drift.

Optimus Prime is really a teagic character and I was getting a bit teary thinking about him if I have to be honest. He sacrificed so much and got such little payoff, even speaking of meta.

All the good things that came from his action, well he is able to witness a very small percentage of them. All the goodbyes and the people he cared for were denied to him.

Drift. Drift exists thanks to Orion's love. Drift met the love of his life, he met his friends, he found reasons to live, and found himself and yet...

Optimus Prime was never able to see Ratchet and Drift together. His best friend and a mech he saved so long ago happy and together.

As I said above, the price Optimus Prime/Orion Pax paid for the love of life itself he felt so strongly was all of himself... just so others could love.

If I got anything wrong, please correct me. i am a bit rusty speaking of comics. i tried my best :)

[astralfandoms]

So no one asked, but I drew a bunch of hedgehogs because @forestdragonart and I were brainstorming all the hedgehogs that appear in 9 Years, and now it's time to do some explainations

If you're not interested, don't click through.

But if you are, keep reading :>

So, with that over with...

*cracks knuckles*

Let's go!

First Row is Sonic, Werehog, Executable, Malachite, and Sonny. The reason why I'm listing all of them as a group is because they are a system, with Sonic being the host! Werehog showed up during the events of Unleashed (obviously), Executable had been around for awhile but was taken out of dormancy during the events of Forces, Malachite was formed during the events of Colors, and Sonny was formed during the events of Generations!

Now onto all of the sonic-adjacent characters (aka the other hedgehogs)!

Lord Xenophanes, also known as Lord X, is a demigod of eclipses, raised to divinity by Dark Gaia, and he is involved in my reshuffling/rewrite of Frontiers, alongside...

Fatal Error, also known just as Error or Malware, is a demigod of mistakes and programming, created completely by accident by a god OC named The Creator of Mechanics (who I need to draw a reference for). It vanished a few decades back, only to suddenly reappear alongside Lord X for unknown reasons.

Fleetway, sometimes just known as Lord of Shapes, is a god of the Body and Mind as well as Shapeshifters. He, similarly to Lord Xenophanes, Fatal Error, Curse, Mephiles, Zip, and Majin, chose a hedgehog-esque form due to the associations with Sonic, someone is seen as trustworthy and good. He, however, is morally dubious at best, and uses his forms to mess with mortals.

Uncle Chuck is essentially Sonic's father in everything but name, having raised Sonic by himself after his parents passed. You may notice that I still have versions of them listed don't worry I'll get to that. Just know that Clutch is surprisingly well connected, knowing a lot of different kinds of people from his young adult years.

Shadow needs no introduction, but I have lore about Black Arms that I might eventually talk about but also might not because explaining how I am not a fan of alien storylines is a whole ass can of worms that I don't feel like introducing. All you gotta know is that he is not an alien, but instead has like. Nightmare Creature blood in him.

Manic is a whole ass motherfucker in this AU. He's not related to Sonic or Sonia, but is instead a young adult who never was in a foster home for more than a year, if that. He currently works at the White Resort, specifically as Clutch's right hand man.

Curse is someone who prayed so hard to Lord X that he was blessed with immortality and now lives as his eternal attendant. However, he hasn't been seen in awhile, due to shenanigans that went down.

Mephiles is the god of warfare who has beef with Ignis (the revamped versions of Iblis) due to the structured manner of warfare clashing inherently with Ignis's domain of chaos. The fires (pun intended) were only flamed with the Duke of Soleanna's inference but were managed to be calmed by Solaris's interference in the form of Elise and Jet.

Zip is the demigod of insanity who is known for her manic mannerisms and chaotic following of Fleetway's orders. It normally stays out of the limelight and prefers just following Fleetway around like a lost puppy.

Shard, also known as Metal Sonic 2.0, is an extremely advanced Metal Sonic who advanced so far that he has far exceeded his original programming and has become his own being. Is a devout follower of Eggman, but there are seeds of doubt planted in his head due to his counterpart...

Quicksilver, also known as Metal Silver, is a scrapped Metal Silver who was left to rot on Scrapnik Isle after it wasn't a successful copy. He is a people pleaser and follows Mercury around, caring probably too much about he and everyone else views him.

Scourge, as I have previously talked a bit about, is one of three Avatars who ended up helping with the Forces situation, with all three of them being prototyped experiments of attempting to get the Phantom Ruby to fuse with him, with his side effect being the purple colored stripes on him.

Sonia, as mentioned in Manic's section, is not related to Sonic or Manic, and is instead from a very rich family where she's Daddy's little princess. But, instead of being very bratty, she's extremely air-headed and gullible, not understanding a lot of class-based things. Every winter, she goes to stay at her practical uncle, Clutch's, resort, but no one seems to bother her, despite some shady figures following her...

Hydraulic, also known as Metal Sonic 1.0, is a bit of an outdated model compared to Shard, but realized that Eggman Enterprises was just...not where it wanted to be, so it ended up turning itself in, before being broken out by a certain platypus in a thought out revenge plan.

Majin, also known as Time Eater, is god of...well, do I need to say? It is usually very calm, very level headed, very slow to anger...but even it has its limits. And one platypus with a god complex is really trying his patience.

Alina is...technically not the original Alina, but instead a robotic counterpart made as an attempt to try to "revive" her without actual necromancy. And who was the one who made her? She doesn't remember much, but she remembers it being a man with a kindly face wearing green overalls...

Mercury, also known as Metal Shadow, is a failed Metal Shadow who, like Quicksilver, was abandoned on Scrapnik for not being a successful clone of Shadow. It is very quiet and brooding, rarely talking unless its services are needed. He both is annoyed and finds a sense of comfort in Quicksilver.

Amy is an extremely cheerful and optimistic girl who has an awful case of faceblindness and is part of the reason that this whole chart was even made. She's very energetic and helpful, but to the point where she'll stretch herself thin in an attempt to make everyone happy, even at the expense of her own.

Silver is, to put it bluntly, an extremely sad and depressed young man who for the longest time was plagued with visions he didn't understand and that no one was willing to explain to him. Hailing from the Lunar Kingdom, he has a deep (unwilling) connection to Mephiles, and is seen as both his prophet and priest, even if he never wanted to be that in the first place.

And, finally, we have Jules who, similarly to Alina, is just an attempt to "revive" him by building a robotic counterpart. And, similarly, Jules doesn't remember much about who created him, only having vague memories of hushed words and the glint of blue glasses.

And that's all of them!!

Wow, that took...way too long to actually type out, but if you made it this far, please comment what you think! I love hearing other people's vibes and opinions for these characters :>

Now, if you excuse me, I need to get to tagging all these bitches.

Why Sonic Prime Shouldn’t Be Canon

There will be 0 disrespect to anyone involved in this post.

Introduction

Think whatever you want to think and make your own conclusions after reading this. Prime is an entertaining show. This is only for whoever wonders why I talk about this show a certain way. Yes, the consistency in the franchise is already shattered to pieces, (no pun intended) but the excuse implies the mistakes in the past shouldn’t be improved upon. Making things worst doesn’t fix anything. Also, give the franchise a little credit, there’s more obvious reasons to believe this show isn’t canon then stuff in the games and IDW.

Why Are We Told Prime Is Canon

1. The writer for the games/comics and the director stated Prime was canon. I assume in order to sell the show and make it seem more important than it is. That’s not even an insult because so far, Prime impacts nothing in canon.

Ian Flynn: “It doesn’t matter, b/c Prime wipes itself out. It’s something after Advance 3, but otherwise, it’s moot. I didn’t want to sour anyone’s expectations or investment by spoiling how Prime resolves, that’s all. If you enjoyed it, awesom. Savor it. If you didn’t, then you can safely ignore it. Simple as that.”

2. While I don’t remember who said this, it’s also been stated Prime went through changes. It was originally meant to be written as its own thing and hilariously ended up feeling less canon because of this change. Which you’ll probably notice in a bit. Long story short Sonic Prime, like the movies and shows, is a disposable adaptation you can love or hate.

3. Aside from Sonic and Shadow, you aren’t able to spend enough time with the OG cast or world, so you’d need to know and understand them outside of Prime. Which debatably isn’t enough, but that’s a can of worms I feel plenty have already opened up, so I’ll only simplify it later. In the end, the show never gets time to establish itself in the OG world. Which has a terrible impact on the writing, but let’s move on.

Side Note: No, the shatterverse crew don’t count in my opinion. While they are similar to the OGs they are still their own characters with separate personalities and issues in their own worlds. They are similar, but not the same.

Evidence

Prime feels more like an origin story without the continuity of the games.

Example 1: Green Hill is Sonic and his friend’s home. Despite the games and IDW have them live everywhere that isn’t Green Hill. Classic timeline included. They barely talk about the place. I recommend watching “Where The Heck Does Sonic Live?” on YouTube. If you want the short of it, I’ll explain a few points and add my own as well.

Here’s most of the different homes these characters lived in.

Station Square, the Mystic Ruins, Emerald Town, and others use to be homes they stayed in and they’re never mentioned. It’s like they put the modern cast into the classic timeline. Which still had them not live in Green Hill. Heck, Shadow, Rouge, and Big are shown in Green Hill too and they didn’t even exist during the classic era.

This is how Green Hill is seen in IDW.

Sure looks like people use to live in this place. Sarcasm aside, Green Hill either wasn’t special enough for them to keep living in or they never lived there before and this was conjured up because Green Hill is constantly used in the games.

Even people who knows the bare minimum about Sonic lore would understand how baloney this is. Especially since Sonic and the gang has been established to be found in other places. Which is shown in the Origin cutscenes. They don’t clarify in the show who exactly lives in Green Hill and who doesn’t. They treat it like everyone’s home. Shows how much we know about these characters within Sonic Prime, doesn’t it?

Example 2: No other group of Sonic characters, locations, or worlds are ever mentioned/referenced. In Prime the blue blur meeting Chaos!Sonic should’ve reminded him of Metal!Sonic, but he talks as if he’s never seen another version of himself in his life. “Is that a… knock off me?” The lack of robot knowledge in this show is crazy when given more errors.

“Robots without flickies? Now that’s new.” I believe everyone knows how false this line is. Also, Orbot and Cubot doesn’t exist until Colors. (though Orbot is in Unleashed) Which is a problem because Prime is suppose to take place directly after Advanced. Which had several games before Colors. Where they didn’t exist.

Example 3: The OG cast though similar, still have their differences.

Big: He’s treated like a core member of the team when he’s not in anything else. Bro doesn’t even get much to do or say at all. He’s just there for the most part.

Knuckles: He meets Sonic in a completely different setting then in actual canon and doesn’t seem to live on Angel Island for some reason. At least not by what was shown.

Eggman: Still relatively fine, but teaming up with anyone even himself never turns out well. He usually doesn’t care for sharing his spotlight.

Rouge: Same thing as Big besides Dream Team. In the games/comics she usually does her own thing. And is also more sneaky and unpredictable while Prime shows off her more leadership side. She’s kind of half and half in the same to different category.

Tails: Surprisingly more closed off then usual and almost seems to switch sides with Sonic in the personality department. Emotionally that is.

Amy: She’s more of a motherly figure than anything else. Amy’s bird friend is pink instead of blue like in SA1. They also treat it like it’s always been with her but hasn’t. She’s also incredibly calm and collected compared to how she was during the 2000s. The time the Advance games where coming out. She was written pretty differently to say the least.

Not to mention one line in the entire show is the only indication of Amy’s crush on Sonic. It was implied not shown.

Sonic: He’s almost treated as an amalgamation of different variations before him. Except it’s his first time getting into an issue he isn’t ready to handle. Because he caused it. On top of that, this guy also carries most of his friends emotional traits. Amys’ excitement, Tails’ saddens, and Knuckles’ anger. Here’s why.

Prime!Sonic seems to be naturally affectionate then in canon since he hugs almost everyone in it. He’s also more emotionally triggered, childish, and inexperience while Game!Sonic isn’t. And has never been shown to be either. Not even in the IDW comics or games with Classic!Sonic. A younger version of him. Don’t get me started on the differences to the 2000 games like Advanced. Game!Sonic then was more introverted while Prime!Sonic is very extroverted. He also panics a bunch. As if he’s not use to terrible things happening frequently.

He can be very wimpy and whiny when it comes to confrontations. Which was never a thing before in any other media. At least not to the point where he’s begging and pleading to people over and over again. I’ll even admit this Sonic isn’t the smartest either. He’s the Sonic you’d be the most convinced to believe is a teenage boy. Besides Movie!Sonic.

Of course Prime!Sonic is still Sonic, but he’s as much of a Sonic as every other version of him. He’s not the same guy who use to not be a fan of hugs. Who can deal with atrocities without freaking out once. The character who hasn’t even officially cried up to this point. Who is just now starting to open up and is still having trouble with it. The silly hedgehog isn’t too out of character but is enough to not be called the same character. Sure, Sonic’s characterization is inconsistent in the games, but I’d say the 2010s is less out of character and more one noted. He at least carries these traits even if not written well.

- The “sentimental�� line in S1 Ep6 is one of the few out of character things he says. Even if the blue blur thought this, he’d never say it out loud.

Shadow: He’s the best written character in the show. Not to mention the most accurate to how he is in canon. Even compared to some of the games and comics. He’s the true MVP of Sonic Prime and has the most common sense. I only hate how he’s literally pushed to the curve in every season. And how Shadow’s backstory is never referenced. Only implied by Sonic screaming his name when he plummets to his doom. But I’d argue that’s more so because Shadow is the last person left who isn’t implied to be dead. Sure, it reminds people of SA2, but that’s all it really is. A reminder not a direct reference.

I will clarify I don’t dislike the show for being different. I dislike the show calling itself canon despite it’s differences.

Conclusion

I know Prime “wipes itself out” but the original world doesn’t have the same continuity of the games either. The established world and lore in Prime is barely connected to the Games due to the writing, so wiping the shatterverse out doesn’t help. These may be small details but if you’re a person who might be interested in getting into the fandom it becomes small details that makes big differences.

I’m not saying if you think the show is canon you’re wrong. Actually you are 100% correct. It’s been confirmed multiple times and the deed was already done. I just don't think it should be. Does it really matter? It depends on what you think. Is Sonic Prime being canon a bad thing? I’d say yes and no. While I don’t think it was the best move, as long as Sonic Prime exists on its own, there’s nothing to worry about. Prime being canon isn’t a crime. It just makes no sense. I’ll leave it at that.

Stay Creative! 💜

Okay so this has been circling around in my head for like two weeks like a fly hitting windows in a sun-room.

So I'm back on my Tails kitsune AU bullshit and I've also recently gotten into Cult of the Lamb so now they've mashed in my brain into a hodgepodged gloop.

And it's all going below the cut if you wanna read my brain worms cause it's long

***Trigger warning for like blood and cults and kidnapping and drugging. Just to give people a heads up (nothing too graphic or detailed but just in case and let me know if you think I missed anything I might need to warn people about)****

Little side note before jumping into this: do not tag as shipping, there is no shipping here it's all platonic and familial. If I see a ship tag I will block you.

Starting off it doesn't matter if Tails is actually a kitsune or not (I personally prefer that yes he is just for the post situation of the gang all being like "okay so what species is Tails actually???" )

I've just had this idea in my head where some cult somewhere is started and they worship kitsune's as godlike entities. They then catch wind of Tails in the news or rumors and their target is now locked.

So this cults leader gets the 'big brain but head actually empty' idea to kidnap Tails like any sane cult leader would.

Now these people somehow stumble ass backwards into kidnapping Tails and keeping him contained. And by keeping him contained they're basically drugging Tails just enough he's conscious but nonreactive. And they basically dress him up and drag him to their ceremonies as more of object than a kid. Tails is hating it and actually scared cause what the hell is wrong with these people let him go home.

Meanwhile Sonic and the gang are all freaking out cause "WHERE IS HE??!!!!" Cause lets be honest kidnapped by a cult was not on any of their bingo cards and at this point they don't know that's what happened, they only know Tails is gone and none of the usual suspects have him.

Rouge starts going through her contacts on the side looking for any crumb of information and gets a lead. And in typical Rouge fashion splits off on her own to look into it. She then comes across the cult and infiltrates their compound.

During her snooping though she overhears the leader of the cult and his subordinates talking about "living forever through the blood of their god's mortal form", sees a statue of a multi-tailed fox and all the red flags are immediately up for her. Internal panic button is smashed. 2 + 2 = fucked up situation.

She's already pressing the "get your asses here" button on her communicator and tears off as quickly but quietly as she can looking for Tails. When she finds him he's in a locked room just laying in bed, all dressed up in a white outfit. Which strange for her to see him just laying there since normally he'd be out and gone long time ago She sees what they've been giving him next to the bed and she's now double pissed off. (I like to think it's at least been over a week Tails has been missing, but if you wanna get really angsty make about 6 months, just as long as Sonic was locked up in Forces).

As gently but quickly as she can she bundles up Tails and carries him cause at this point he's got so much in his system he can't walk or talk, blinking is kinda his only form of communication at the moment. To which Rouge doesn't know what's worse, for Tails to have been asleep for the whole time unaware or to be awake for the whole time and know what's happening.

Tails on the other hand is just so happy to see her and scared that he starts crying. Which is just breaking Rouge's heart to witness as she starts to backtrack out of there with him, with him just silently crying nonstop in her arms.

Unfortunately only about halfway to the exit they discover Tails is gone and the place starts going into lock down with cultist swarming the halls of the place. And even though Rouge is an excellent fighter, she's in close quarters with a kid who can't walk so she's quickly overrun by cultist who tie her up and take Tails back.

The leader then using all of his one brain cell figures she's already signaled to the other's where they are and he knows it's only a matter of time before the fastest thing on the planet busts their door down looking for his little brother.

The leader announces to the group they're moving up the ceremony to now much to Rouge's horror and they drag her along too kicking and screaming cause they don't have time to drop her off in a cell or anything.

Everyone is now in this big ceremony/chapel room that has a big stone table covered in white flowers, that suspiciously is the perfect size for an 8 year old fox to lay down on. And the leader does just that laying Tails on the table.

Rouge is throwing an absolute fit and cursing everyone out cause no way in hell is she gonna let this happen, it's to the point multiple people are having to hold her down even with her tied up cause she's kicking up such a storm of rage.

Meanwhile, Tails is mentally absolutely freaking out in a panic and is terrified out of his mind, especially when the leader brings out a large ornate knife and starts chanting something.

As the leader is finishing up and reeling back his hand with the knife Sonic busts in and sees all of this. Immediately rushing to the table just as the cult leader goes for the downswing.

Sonic just barely catches the knife about an inch from Tails' chest grabbing on to the blade of it and cutting his hand which drips onto Tails.

Now Sonic finally has a moment to process all of this and what exactly is happening and for obvious reasons he is beyond pissed off. He's probably not far off from turning into dark Sonic or it's creeping around the edges of him. And just as he's about to send the cult leader to meet his maker he glances at Tails' face and that's the only reason he doesn't kill the leader right then and there. Cause Sonic thought Tails was asleep but now he notices not only is Tails somewhat awake but tears are streaming down his face.

So Sonic does the next best thing in this situation, knocks out the leader in less than a second and just pulls Tails into a hug off the table and starts just sobbing with Tails in his lap curled up on the floor. Cause the horror of what about happened and the relief Tails is okay and he found him in time hits Sonic all at once.

The rest of the cultists are still frozen cause for Sonic, Tails and the leader all that happened in less than a minute and the group is still catching their bearings of everything that just happened. Which is a good thing cause in that moment everyone else catches up and runs into this whole scene.

From their perspective though they just see Sonic sobbing over a limp Tails with blood on his chest (from Sonic's hand but they don't know that), a guy knocked out (or possibly dead??) next to them, a big stone table that suspiciously looks like an alter also next to them, Rouge who is still cursing up a storm tied up in the corner and held down by like 5 people, and a room full of people in matching robes that look like the guy up near Sonic and Tails.

The rest of the group now splits off with Amy and Knuckles running over to Sonic and Tails, Shadow going for the leader on the ground, Omega going to help Rouge, and the rest of their friends they had helping them splitting off to take care of the rest of the cultists.

From here everything gets resolved, cultists and leader locked up, Tails getting what ever drugs they were giving him out of his system and going home and everyone somewhat going back to their lives. Sonic however does not leave Tails' side for a while and hovers around him which for the first few weeks Tails appreciates cause if he's honest he doesn't want Sonic to be far from him either after everything and really doesn't want to be alone for long. Tails get constant nightmares about the situation and is snuggling with his big brother almost every night. Which is great for Sonic cause he's also getting terrible nightmares from the ordeal and feels better when he wakes up and Tails is right there.

It does get to the point though where after a bit of recovery and time healing the mental scars Tails has to convince Sonic that he can be go back to running around and exploring without Tails right next to him. It takes a lot of convincing and scheduling regular check-ins (like 5x more than they previously had) but Sonic and Tails slowly get somewhat back to their normal lives.

If you wanna get angsty though have it so Sonic is just a second too slow in saving Tails and the fallout from that. (couldn't be me though I'm a hurt/comfort girly at heart, give me the angst but everyone's okayish in the end)

Ooh how about top 5 Emily moments for each PC (i.e. top moonshine moment, top fia moment, etc etc) because we know Emily is incredible and can do no wrong!

Real and true. I’ll do like 2 moments for each naddpod pc and then it’ll be like 10 moments lol. Full disclosure: this is long as hell.

Moonshine:

“You can be quick with kindness, too” and then grabbing Bev and jumping off into the Astral Sea. That whole thing, where she was trying to understand Thiala despite knowing she likely couldn’t be reasoned with. An absolute peak of Moonshine. Holy shit.

Not to be the guy who brings up “how long do half elves live” at every opportunity. But it needs to be said. Because it’s also Moonshine grappling with how her lifespan is going to work. Emily was never going to take 18 levels in druid, she didn’t want timeless body for Moonshine. But she got it. And then there’s this poignant moment where she’s grappling with everything that will mean to the only other person she knows has or will experience it. Moonshine doesn’t fear death. But she doesn’t want to live in a world without her family and friends. And that’s why it matters. Plus the hardshine of it all.

Fuck it, third one. The conversation with Deadeye. She saves him. She’s the catalyst that stops him from continuing a spiral he’d been part of for possibly 100 years. And he stopped her from going down a similar path, which was Brennan’s plan when he made the character. The Cybin siblings are something that can be so personal.

Fia:

“Maybe I don’t want to be her sister, okay!” Fia was closed off to the other third mates in a lot of ways. She was never hiding anything deliberately, she just kept a lot of feelings close to her chest. She hadn’t had friends in years. Blurting this out to Hank and Zirk was her last wall crumbling and a moment of true trust. Plus like the beauty of girlhood friends falling in love wlw wish fulfillment.

“You were my fucking dream for so fucking long. But these people are my reality. And it is by your actions that one of them has died, and you tried to kill more of them. And I will miss you so much. But I, I cannot support this. Mr. Henry. Kill Her.” Truly an Emily moment of all time. The beauty. The cold hearted commitment. The sobs from both her AND Caldwell.

Tarragon:

Only gonna do one here because she’s in so few episodes. The atonement to help redeem Moxora at the end of Cerenysus. “She may have rotted but she’ll make good soil”. Devastating.

Billie:

Also gonna do one here because of the shortness of her time. Her insane antics in the Grimdung/Beeto cave fight. Trying to convince Grimmy that she was worth more than his allegiance to the cause. Being completely wrong about his thought process. And the interactions with Hank and Zirk during that fight. Too fun.

Onyx:

Pretending to be Porker Harris for the entire Merry Metal Mayhem two shot. Insane choice. She was dressed as him dead I think actually. And tried to convince Sonic that she was him. The triplets are too good.

Befriending KT. Getting her plane seat upgraded while sitting in the bad seats. Asking for her opinion on everything. So dumb. So incredible.

Callie:

Fucking. Crown of Dreams. Right at the end. She finally isn’t confused or a nannerfly. And she takes a turn to Lay on Hands Sol (who was 2 death save failures in the hole and it really felt like Caldwell’s skin of his teeth luck had finally run out) and then casts compelled duel on Ultrus to save Glen. Gets me every time. God what an episode.

Little strange, but when they’re fighting the Bronzebeards and that guy who was controlling people with the worms in the woods on the way to Irondeep. She like climbs up something, Fey Steps, attacks or casts a spell, then asks Hardwon to catch her. And Hardwon “nods like he’s seen this kind of bullshit before”. Just a very fun moment.

So sorry for going off like that. Hope people enjoy reading this insane list lmao

EPISODE 4

Preview

Ep 1

Ep 2

Ep 3

.

.

.

I want to mention that I kinda assumed this was supposed to be what's inside of the worm portal when Sonic traveling between the real world and cyberspace.

Idk why I'm just curious about this due to the glitch effect from this scene🤔

Heads up! This post might be a full picture package! (if Tumblr is being kind at the time I post this 🤞🤞)

This last episode was the episode that has a huge distinction between the comic and the TV ones. We could see them from how they did with the city perspectives of planet Machina.

In the book, the heroes fight the enemy on top of the building. In tv version, we get to see the grand image of the city itself.

We get to see how big the scale of its final form in the book ver. Acting as if he was some sort of ... uuuuuuugh ... Kaijus or maybe Cybertron level. His movements are big so it compensates with a bunch of wires to reach their targets faster. Meanwhile, the TV one ver made a unique appearance with it's smaller size in the shape of … I dunno...

What is THAT thing???

Though aesthetically wise, the tv ver portrayed the city well. But for design wise, I personally prefer the comic version since it has a vision towards what the battle will go on against Boboiboy.

So how to compensate for the same level of threat of its counterpart? Simple. Showing the audience that it was eating the citizens in real time.

But that's gonna spike up the ratings, isn't it?

Then you must do it smoothly, as in this clip below.

The camera didn't immediately show the full scale of the Robo-dumpster’s mouth in close-up. The movement was also quick and it positioned a bit off frame in the bottom right(with the spark effect also covered it too). That's why almost you didn't realize there were real people being eaten alive on 4k until few seconds later. Fortunately they're robots so ... I guess it made the whole scene safer to some degree 😕

I forgot to mention the important part! This ep and the 3rd one were essentially two parts of the comic issue 17. I noticed this as analyzing back to back when I reviewed ep 3.

This ep was the extended version of the whole fight scene in the city so they put a lot of creativity here.

Another big reference that I absolutely love Sir Nizam as Adu Du was in this clip.

(if you know, you know😏😏)

Also—Adu Du's armor was a grasshopper????? That's sick!!!

I know there are many references for bow turned dual sword user, but I can't help that he reminds me of Pit from the Kid Icarus series.

Wdym you just realize that now, Gopal?!?!?!🫤🫤

Not long after that we finally get to see the MechaGentar transformation.

Referring to what I said before, this scene below is the reason I prefer the comic ver.

You can see the decreasing scale when both standing on ground with multiple buildings surrounding them. Meanwhile the comic parts, both literally gigantic so the citizens felt like witnessing a real life Pacific Rim, Gundam or even Evangelion's fights against the giants.

One of the highlights I appreciated so much was the reuse assets from the previous planet, which in this case the comeback of planet Kadruax and Windara.

Does it feel like it was wasting time and dragging the peak of action by jumping between planets?

...

50/50.

I kinda hope they raise the fight scene by showing more of the city than jumping between portals to linking the thread from previous arcs.

Then again I guessed it could take more work for the animation team since the comic ver didn't actually expand the city further(hence why it mostly took place on rooftops). But at the same time the tv ver already grandiose it of what I presume we were at the city hall.

And we need more colors! The whole Gentar's arc was filled with saturated pallettes that could be a boredom if they keep doing this too long.

This might not be a problem but I have to remind you this is a kids show, and kids need neurons with bright colors! So I take this takeaway as a breath of fresh air after all that saturated stuff.

As always I will put my Chai relatable gif because of this scene. 😘

Gotta give Monsta praise with "saving Ochobot" part. It's suspenseful enough with the stakes so the way they ended it felt really rewarding.

And now we finally get to the tearful scene. The end of Boboiboy vs Adu Du era.

Truthfully, it still leaves a deepest scar in my heart. Because to me, whatever the big enemy that could haunt the heroes, at the end of the day Adu Du was supposedly the iconic villain that should never ever be replaced. Just Mario with Bowser and Sonic with Eggman.

Though, I shouldn't compare the video game franchises to the tv franchises. Not apple to apple imo.

He's the one that made Boboiboy become today.

And ... Oh man I can't....

But it is what it is and the boat already sails so we just have to wait and see for the future story.

Oh yeah! Remember my assumption about the season 3 theorys?

Turns out the man himself finally talked about this too!

There are 4 highlights from him but I only put two due to the Tumblr law 🫤

It makes me wonder what they will be cooking with this.

My conclusion to this arc: I'm glad they didn't make the fans angry by closely resembling to the comic version AND also they weren't treating this arc as a filler arc. I myself enjoy this arc more than I thought. Sure it has a fair share of flaws but honestly it's a fun arc for rewatch. I realized when I'm making this impression I rewatch this arc more so than the previous arcs. That's... surprising 🤔

Last but not least!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OBOI! 🥹🙏

I have a story to commemorate his birthday month! Cannot guarantee when, but I really hope I can finish before Ramadan ends!😭

ahhhh gale is satisfying my brain worms so much but i need to know more. uhhh idk what to ask. does he have like a nest in his home where he curls up and sleeps in? or does he just sleep someone on the floor? does sails ever come visit him? what kind of adventures do they get up to? how does dread feel waking up to sails gone to visit gale? also since gale is basically a legend does anyone believe sails if he tells them they're friends? how does he feel about batten and black rose? is he and dread as fruity as sonic and knuckles? how does he react when rusty and badniks invade his dimension? TELL ME EVERYTHING G

he sleeps in a hammock! he strung it up inside the plane. sometimes he just sleeps outside on top of the tail of the plane though. he's silly like that.

sails would only ever seek gale out if there was trouble. usually, dread's ship is far away from where gale's crashed-plane-house is, so he'd have to reallyyyyyy work for it in order to get there. dire circumstances, yknow.

that said, gale comes around pretty often. usually in the dead of night while everyone is asleep. wakes sails up, spirits him away to some adventure. dread's used to it by now. he knows his crewmate will be back eventually. still kind of annoying that it happens without warning though. like, what if they had PLANS, gale? cmon :/c

i don't think anyone in dread's crew believed sails at first, but then dread caught gale trying to take sails on an adventure one night and thought he was a siren (lol). so he woke everyone up, there was this big confrontation, and everyone realized... that the legend was real, and really pissed that he was now running late.

gale feels positively about batten and black rose... since they're with dread, they obviously like to have fun, and fun is gale's M.O. however, he doesn't know them particularly well. there one second and gone the next, just like the wind, doesn't leave much room for conversation... but he still likes to rustle dread's feathers with a smart one-liner when he can. lmao

when rusty shows up gale probably gets pretty scary. most of the time, there's no need for him to turn on the hurricane, but when a cross-dimensional threat shows up? yeah. rusty'll be quick to learn how he earned his status as a force of nature

[realshadowplush]

The biggest weakness of Sonic.exe stories is that the general lack of meaning behind the actions of the EXE in question. There isn't a need for every story to have some super deep themes but there's only so many times you can spin the same yarn of some flavor of X obliterating the entire cast. You can make that work still, especially when paired with insane sprite work like with EYX and OMT, but that is the exception, not the rule.

I guess one time someone has tried to add meaning like that was the Nightmare Universe, and I'll NOT be opening that can of worms EVER

Another time is probably 2017x, with the whole angle of him being obssessed with being Sonic which is probably why he's a fan favorite, but I still think there's more that can be done.

I spoke about this in a twitter thread before, about how EXE isn't a reversion(like Metal) or a reflection(like Shadow) of Sonic's character, but a perversion of it, and I think there's a treasure trove of storytelling to be dug out from that angle. But, returning to the main point, I think that theres a lot of meaning that could be imparted to a EXE story in both a more traditional story of a haunted game to an in-universe story.

From an EXE that focuses on obsession, or having him being a representation of destruction, to something more personal, whether to the human characters in a more traditional story or the main cast in a in-universe story. As an example, there's a lot of emotional weight that could be extracted from a character like Tails seeing his best friend, someone who's almost an idol to him, be twisted into a monster, but its rarely fully explored, if at all, with the poor fox probably just dying.

This also ties in with another problem with EXE stories, lack of stakes. There are no stakes to be had if you know that its just going to be another slash-flick esque story where everyone just dies. It can still be an enjoyable ride, but can end up being yet another to throw on the pile. On the other side, there can be no stakes at all with the EXE being treated as nothing but a joke (refer to SBF and Tails' Halloween), which can be funny, but it can feel played out.

TL;DR: There's a lot of potential storytelling to be done with EXE if care is taken to crafting the story and escaping the common tropes that bog it down

Listen I'm weird and I'm allowing myself to enjoy Rayman for the first time in years, please just scroll past if you think this post is weird, lol.

I am still trying to create the Rayman x Sonic agenda. I absolutely think they would be good for each other. Not only that, but Eggman and Razorbeard would totally team up together. They might not be loyal to each other, but I'm sure they find each other fascinating and useful.

While I wouldn't mind seeing Sonic visit Rayman's world, I actually think it's more likely that Razorbeard would bring his conquest to Mobius, followed by a very concerned Rayman who will not stand to see him destroy another planet. With a common goal, Sonic and Rayman will wind up fighting their nemesis...es together, and get a chance to hang out between fights.

Imo, they're both pretty flighty. Sonic loves running for the sport of it, but Rayman loves to look at things, take in sights and sounds, and to see the world. He's very curious about Mobius, and eager to learn about their culture. And their food!

I think that once the baddies are taken care of, Rayman would retire to the Chao garden for a while. This guy takes his quality time very seriously; he is either fighting crime or sleeping at all times. He is also used to taking care of the staggering amount of children Globox has (he's a frog, so the number is in the hundreds) and is naturally excellent at raising Chao because of it. Sonic stops by once to see how it's going, then stops by a week later, and a Chao that had just been born last time is now a pro at Chao racing because of how diligently Rayman had been raising it. The look on Sonic's face would be priceless.

There's a lot of people in the fandom who agree that Rayman is a very lonely person, and I think he is a bit resigned to being some sort of untouchable or undesirable figure, depending on who we're talking about. Globox is the one who stays with him the longest, but after Rayman 3, he loses his mind to uh, "plum juice", and there's evidence to suggest he's divorced. I imagine their conversations get pretty heavy nowadays, and Rayman must be tired of playing hero to his friend when he's trying to just be a regular guy.

I'm not as crazy about Sonic as my boyfriend is, and not nearly as much as I am about Rayman, so I can TRY to say how he would react, but take it with a grain of salt. From what I know about Sonic, I think he would sympathize about Rayman's plight, and maybe not hit the point of empathy for a while because opening that can of worms is not his speed. But he would offer Rayman friendship, tell him that there's always a place for him on Mobius, and that he doesn't have to restrict himself to being a hero. People are people, no matter their jobs. They all need some time to relax, and just live life to the fullest.

Also I think Rayman would have to be the initiator. Sonic has a one-track mind and won't even think about it until it's right in front of him, and even then he might just dodge it. Rayman kisses Sonic on the cheek, and when the inevitable happens and Sonic dodges his feelings by running off, Rayman just smiles sadly and says to himself that at least he tried. He won't ever meet someone like Sonic again, someone who cares and understands, who can show him a whole new world that mystifies and excites him... Even if his dream dies here, he's glad that he finally had a dream for himself, and not for all the people on the planet he'll never be.

As a final piece of propaganda for Sonic fans who don't know about Rayman, take a look at Razorbeard and tell me that Eggman would not totally lose his shit over being able to work with a bloodthirsty pirate robot who is also trying to colonize worlds with a robot army.

Omg I just thought of this and just hear me out for a sec

How would you rewrite the events of sonic lost world in this au?

I ask this because one of the central themes of the game was like the relationship between sonic and tails and their trust in each other so I’m just curious how that would apply in this au.

You have no idea what you've just done.

I just went down a half an hour spiral about all of the issues Sonic Lost World had (in my opinion). I'll be completely honest, I forgot that Lost World was a thing. I had it written down on my timeline, but I just skipped over it because I didn't know what to do with it yet, it's an entire can of worms I didn't want to touch yet.

Why are the wisps there? Why does Eggman have a life force juice sucker? Why are the trees all cube-y? Why are the Zeti... like that? What are the Zeti? What is the Lost Hex, is it a planet in space or a planet just floating around on Mobius like Little Planet? Why is there a food based zone? How is there a food based zone? Why does Sonic look cross eyed in one of the promotional pieces? What is the vibe that they're trying to get at, it's a terrible comedy one part and the next Eggman is talking about Tails' 'heroic sacrifice'?? Why is so much of the cutscenes just mindless bickering and pointless talking?

That's just a glimpse at my ever continuing spiral about this game...

It's funny, the more minor games in the timeline have more plot planned out than the larger mainline games.

Sorry to disappoint, but I haven't even touched Lost World yet. I'll need to change many things before I am satisfied with it. More work than Forces even, if I'm just going by a rough estimate. I do hope I can think of something for this game and to be able to show it off some day, but at the moment, I want to focus on the other games I'm currently reimagining.

Thank you for the question though! It really made my brain start churning.

Month of Sonadow 2025 Day 7

Last of the leftover sketches, I need to work on drawing catch up pics.

Day 7 was fantasy I almost used Lancelot & Coraline(Lancelot's wife & my OC that's Sonic from a doomed timeline for a steampunk version of Mobius) but decided to use the Miku song The Beast. My favorite cover of it is from Nano who sang an English cover.(LINK)

The song is about someone that due to being lonely cursed themself to be a beautiful monster & hid in a mansion/castle surrounded by walls which is a metaphor for keeping their heart/feelings walled off due to not wanting to be hurt. At some point someone manages to get in & slowly worms their way into this beast's life/heart. Unfortunately the beast realized everything too late, the lyrics imply the person that wormed their way in left at some point(at least in Nano's lyrics) but music videos heavily imply the person died of old age(I guess the curse the beast has on themself made them stop aging) leaving their beloved beast alone again. The song ends with the beast watching on from the wall that they built having fallen apart as they wait for the one that wormed into their heart to return.(If it's the music video they're holding their skull because the loved one died that long ago)

I drew Shadow as the person that cursed himself to be a beast & hid away. His design is inspired by his squid form in Sonic x Shadow Generations & the fact I gave him some of Black Doom's horns in a design were he has more Black Arms features.

I don't like sad endings so this became angst with a happy ending. The idea behind this is that it's post song, Shadow realized too late & went on to wait in hopes they're reunite one day. Sonic reincarnated & though he doesn't remember anything has managed to find Shadow again. Shadow is very happy he's returned, even if Sonic remembers nothing he's here again & managing to worm his way back in.(It's a little easier since Shadow missed him but tries to hide he met Sonic before)

It'll take time since Shadow is still dealing with the fact Sonic is back & having to act like they're kind of a friendly stranger(doesn't want to look like some weird guy that knows a little too much about Sonic due to knowing his past self) but Sonic will worm his way back into Shadow's heart & finally help Shadow remove the curse he placed on himself so the two can be happy together with the two eventually leaving the remains of the walled off mansion behind.
