#Rachel Sonic movie

[weirdozjunkary]

Updated designs for my species swap AU, as well as four more characters to add to it. Had fun designing each of them. More to come eventually (most likely after the third movie).

I designed Sonic and the others as humans a bit ago. You can look at them here.

Knuckles to Rachel, who's about to get married: Today, two families are becoming one. Sonic in an ominous voice: Two families enter, one family leaves. Shadow: That sounds so threatening. Tails: The Wedding games... Maddie: May the bouquet toss be ever in your favor. Tom: Beautiful. Rachel: F#$% all of you.

Amy meets jojo

I like to think that if Amy were to meet Rachel she would be the only one who would actively try to make it up to Rachel for bringing so much chaos to her house. (Amy is a hopeless romantic so she would feel bad hearing that her wedding was crash by sonic). To make it up for her Amy offers to cook meals and clean the kitchen afterward. Rachel was a bit hesitant at first until she got a taste of Amy’s cooking and she has been sold ever since (they even trade recipes with each other).

Eventually it becomes the norm for Amy to visit Rachel’s family for dinner or lunch every so often with the visit becoming less transactional and more about sharing company. It also became common for Jojo to beg Rachel to adopt Amy right then and there. Although Amy’s company is 100 times more tolerable than the wachowski bros, Rachel is wary of the trouble that often follows these friendly extraterrestrials. Amy also seems to already have a home to go back to so there was no need to take such action(Amy lives off world with vanilla and cream).

So due to these reasons it’s alway a firm no whenever jojo pesters her about keeping Amy. After many debates with her mom, Jojo is almost ready to accept defeat until one of Sonic’s visits spark an idea. If Amy couldn’t join her family directly maybe she could join through other means.

Amy: hey sonic how you like my new chili dog recipe I add some new to the chili to give it a bit more of a kick I hope it wasn’t too spicy for ya

Sonic: (just finished his fourth plate of chili dogs) it was delicious as alway Ames and nothing too hot for this hedgehog keep it coming.

Amy: sure thing blue right after finishing clean up

Jojo: so sonic..

Sonic: yeah

Jojo: So when do you think you’ll put a ring on Miss Rose over there?

Sonic:(starts choking and coughing while flustered)

Amy: Sonic! Are you ok?! Was it too spicy?

ROUND 1

[mingot-studios]

Stella Is an Antagonist, NOT an obstacle

How do I put this?

Antagonists are characters that directly oppose the protagonists in some form, through their actions.

In Stella's case, she puts a hit out on Stolas because she wants to get back at him for humiliating her.

We also have a pretty good idea of who Stella IS as a character: She is a spoiled elitist aristocrat who has never been told 'no' who was stuck in an arranged marriage with a man who she didn't love but instead of trying to get out her unhappy marriage, she decided to take her anger out on him and only stayed with him for status reasons and because she liked having someone she could torment.

So when Stolas finally stands up to her, she takes it personally. She doesn't really seem to give a damn that she was cheated on, but that SHE was cheated by someone she assumed would always be submissive to her. Not only that, the person who her husband cheated on her with was an IMP. The lowest rank of demon there is, AND said Imp literally crashed a tea party she was having while trying to slip out after sleeping with her husband and, and telling her extremely casually, to her face, right in front her fellow aristocrats, quote; "Sorry, I f*cked your husband."

And just to rub salt in the wound, this was the morning RIGHT AFTER her "Not Divorced" (aka the anniversary) party she threw, just so she could gossip and vent to friends about how awful being married to Stolas is WHILE HE'S IN THE ROOM ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY.

So to summarize, Stella is a spoiled brat who is used to getting her way and no one standing up to her, so when someone does, she takes it personally and goes to extreme lengths just to get back at them, even if she gets nothing (other than satisfaction) from it in the long term.

Now Let's compare this to Rachel's character in the first Sonic movie;

( i couldn't find a gif of her in the first movie sorry)

While the sequel would give her a bit more depth, I'm going to be focusing on how her character was handled in the first movie, and calling her a 'character' in the first film Is saying a lot...

Okay so first off, we don't know ANYTHING about Rachel other than that she's Maddie's sister, she has a daughter, she lives San Francisco, and most importantly, she hates Tom. WHY does she hate Tom? idk, the movie never tells us! We are never given ANY context as to why she dislikes Tom, who (aside from being a cop) is a good guy! And she hated him long before he ended up becoming America's most wanted man for attempting to help Sonic.

For all intents and purposes, she hates him for no reason at all. And this is her defining trait in the first film, whenever she's on screen, she's usually telling Maddie to leave Tom, with no elaboration. Her hatred of Tom isn't even treated like a real problem, it's just a joke.

So when Tom shows up with an injured Sonic, she says she's gonna call the cops. And what happens to her? Tom and Maddie tie her to a chair in her own living room, take her car, just leave her there!

Rachel's presence in the first movie is to be nothing more than slight nuisance to the main characters without having a good reason to be there and no motivation for her actions, she's delegated to being nothing more than minor obstacle that the heroes have to deal with to reach their goals.

Rachel has no real agency in the movie she' just there to do two things; Hate Tom for comic relief and get in the way of Tom and Maddie helping Sonic. She's just there to be a nuisance to the main characters and nothing more. She is not an antagonist, she's an obstacle. An object with agency of her own and only there to serve at a minor road bump in the plot.

Say what you want about how Stella was handled, but you can't deny that she has an important role in the story, you can't remove her. On the other hand, Rachel could be removed from the story, and almost nothing would change.

The key to difference to me at least, between a full antagonist and an obstacle, is that an antagonist takes action to go against the protagonists ways that actively effect the plot, where as obstacle is someone the author throws into the the story just to slightly inconvenience the heroes who presence has real effect on the wider narrative, and may as well be something like a wall blocking the way that the characters have to climb over. And I don't mean like a giant wall I mean like a wall to a factory. It's a minor inconvenience that once gotten over has no real purpose in the grander narrative.

A Worthy Sequel -- Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 takes everything that worked in the first movie—heart, humor, and action—and cranks it up to eleven. With bigger stakes, deeper connections to the game’s lore, and even more chaotic fun, the sequel delivers a thoroughly enjoyable family-friendly adventure. Jim Carrey steals the show once again as Dr. Robotnik, fully embracing the character’s iconic, over-the-top video game…

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

*slams fists on table* YES!!!!! THIS!!!! THIS EXACTLY!!!!! I LOVE THE WACHOWSKIS SO FREAKING MUCH AND WHEN PEOPLE HATE ON THEM I GET SO TICKED KDNDKAKDNND

Hot "Sonic the Hedgehog Movie 2" Take:

People who think Tom, Maddie, and Rachel were boring/"the worst" part of the movie

are wrong

If you can't see that the human characters provide safe and stable ground for Sonic to grow and mature from and that the found-family aspect is integral for Sonic's character as established since the first movie

Then like, we obviously have different priorities

I would die for the Wachowski family

[katlyntheartist]

More ugly sweaters! This time with Rachel and her family.

As of writing this I haven't seen Sonic 3 yet, and I know that there's a 99% chance that Shadow won't be adopted by Randall BUT I CAN STILL DREAM, OK

Wachowski Ugly Sweaters

[shadow-von-vamp]

sonic movie spin off ideas i’ve seen on twitter

yes most of these are jokes but i would still watch them

shadow & agent stone show about processing grief

shadow & knuckles show about helping rachel and randall win a tennis tournament

shadow meets tom’s “lunatic” brothers and gets into extreme sports

shadow & rachel learn to relax on a cruise

knuckles & shadow play rock paper scissors to see who has to mow captain rockwell’s yard while she sings a rock opera explaining shadow’s backstory

knuckles & shadow show where randall rediscovers his love of ice skating

shadow helps crazy carl win the ping pong tournament (black doom is the final competitor)

[pixie-mask]

Maddie, Rachel, Jojo, Amy, Rouge: Spa day with gossip, they get ultra competitive over something simple

Tom, Wade, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow: Chaotic camping trip, somehow they lost the tent and they camp in a cave

[lexxicona]

Sometimes family is you, your wife, your three adopted alien kids, your sister-in-law, your niece, your G.U.N agent brother-in-law, your unnamed brothers, and your golden retriever Ozzie.

[phasesgurl]

Jojo: Tell Mom why you insisted on putting a normal-sized carrot in the bag of baby carrots. Shadow: Jojo: Go on, tell her what you told me earlier. Shadow, stuttering: I-it's because...th-they need adult supervision... Rachel:

[niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian]

Seeing people come up with theories for Sonic 3 is always such a treat to watch, but seeing one particular post about how Rachel being apart of G.U.N in the movie means that she could potentially be the one to drive the notorious G.U.N truck in SA2 had me completely dying.

I'm just saying that the way she drove that golf cart in Sonic 2 was proof enough that she could handle driving that metal beast and I'm all for it

A Masterpost Of All My Sonic Fics So Far

I didn't include ALL of my fics because the first few ones I did when I started my blog were cringe as hell lmao

Sonic Movie Series Fics

Enter Gamma - The Wachowski Bros try to come up with a new name for their new fiend UNIT. (Set after Sonic Drone Home.)

Sonic's Dream - Dreams are mysterious. They can be good or they can be bad. Sonic enjoys good dreams, whether their about running, chili dogs or his family. …But he despises bad dreams. Sometimes their about deep waters, the dark… Or being alone all over again. (Set after Movie 1.)

Sonic Told A Dumb Joke... - Sonic begins to realize that humoring up his brothers makes him come off as annoying, and vows to never say another word. (Set after Movie 2. Unsure if I'll make a part 2 since this might need some reworking.)

Sonic and Tails Talk About Tom and Maddie - Tails was confused by the way Sonic talks about Tom and Maddie. If they're not his parents, then what are they to him? (Set during Movie 2 before the dance battle sequence.)

Under the Moonlight - After hearing a ghost story about Dark Gaia, Sonic transforms into the Werehog in the middle of the night and must find a way to turn back to normal while before he looses control of himself. (Set after Movie 1. Currently thinking about reworking this fic in the future.)

Heroes Don't Fail - After Tom fell ill due to protecting him from a bullet, Sonic was left to wonder if his own friends had any faith in him to begin with during their most dangerous adventure yet. He was left to wonder if him and Shadow had more of a similarity than he thought. (Movie 3 Headcanon fic. VERY outdated now but there are some writing bits I really enjoy here that I might bring back in the future.)

Modern Sonic Fics

Rose Gold - Sonic was horrified by Amy doing all she can to make sure her hero stays alive, no matter the cost. (Platonic Sonic/Amy fic.)

What Big Brothers Fear The Most - Sonic had an unpleasant dream about the worst case scenario for any little brother in the world. Specifically, Tails. (Unbreakable Bond fic.)

Without One Another (Aftermath Of What Big Brothers Fear The Most) - Sonic talks about his nightmare to Tails, while confessing a fear greater than deep waters. (Unbreakable Bond fic.)

A Talk Between Two Hedgehogs - Shadow felt strangely guilty about his outburst at Sonic, and wanted to chat with him. (Sonic/Shadow fic.)
