#Shadows of A Forgotten Time | Mephiles

[shxdesofchaos-moved]

Tag post for the sake of making sure they're all in generally one place. Some of these WILL in fact, be tags that I have transferred over from my main blog. Others have been made up on the fly.

"I would rather you... not... end my misery. Not sure you even truly could." He replied, his voice low and quiet, his eyes focus forward, masking the urge to grimace and wince as his wounds ached, the bleeding was slowing, but it would be a while till he could patch them up properly with his healing factor, as he'd been rationing his healing factor after figuring out the connection between him and Doom, selfishly thinking if he suppressed it than whatever wounds he'd inflicted on the warlord wouldn't heal that well either.

Truly, he was certain that ending his misery would be far harder than one would think, the fall to the planet after the ARK incident hadn't killed him and he'd expected it to. The battle against Doom the first time hadn't killed him either, nor had G.U.N. or anyone else. He was, after all, the Ultimate Lifeform. Built as a weapon, a cure, a warrior, and a key to immortality. All in one ebony hedgehog who hadn't asked for anything except to help Maria. A task he'd already failed at once, and didn't want to fail at again.

"...And what would you want?" He asked, eyeing the other warily, he doesn't have a lot of choices, Rouge would tell him to use his healing factor properly, but he didn't want to. He didn't wish to risk the idea of his own healing factor also being connected to the warlord and undoing all the damage he had managed to inflict.

His askance is perhaps as close to request for assistance as the erased being will get. Shadow had never been terribly good at requesting help. He preferred to get things done himself. To be the only factor that was at risk if he could help it, simply because he knew in most cases, he could handle it. And if not handle, could survive it. But in this... he couldn't do either, he was, frankly, out of options outside of Mephiles himself.

"All I need is healing separate from my actual regenerative factor. Perhaps a... boost, an edge. Doom is connected to me, my powers. I get stronger through the connection to the Black Arms DNA within me, he gets stronger too. Anything that I improve on myself improves him to." He mentioned, gritting his teeth as his ears pin back sharp and angry and... perhaps afraid. Not of death. No, he would welcome that, even if he wasn't actively seeking it anymore. But of losing control of his own body, becoming a vessel for that warlord.

"...He won't kill me. He wants to take me over. Use me as a vessel to revive himself and complete his original plan for the planet and make it into a food source for the Black Arms." He added, almost an afterthought, he's certain of that, Doom needs his body alive to take him over, all the cajoling to give in and stop fighting during that battle had given him that idea. Someone who didn't need a living host to take over wouldn't be trying so hard to injure and break down instead of maim and strike actual killing blows.

It's a beautiful sight, and Mephiles spent a few moments just drinking it in. He couldn't help but be slightly disappointed that these wounds had not come about at his hands, but he could, at least, appreciate the result. The demon drifted over, feet hovering a few inches above the ground as he tilted his head down at Shadow.

" what is it you want me to do ? i can end your misery, if you'd like. " his voice was conversational, as though this were a slightly amusing experience for him, and not a matter of life or death for the hedgehog at his feet. " unless, of course, you'd rather i kiss it all better. " now he was just taunting him. still, after everything, mephiles believed he was within his rights to do so. and yet, he hesitated to finish the job.

perhaps there was use for shadow yet.

" if you actually want my help... i will want something from you in return. "

Solaris loved them.

At first, there were few. They would dance and sing and smile in the company of a small fire they had built, and Solaris would watch from behind the embers. These humans looked so big from down here. They were fascinating, endearing, inspiring, and Solaris found comfort in them.

Few became many. They cheered and told stories and passed down those stories to even tinier humans, and Solaris would watch from the fireplaces warming their dens. These humans looked so happy from back here. They knew each and every one of their names, and Solaris would greet each new name with a sunny day.

Many became incomprehensible. They built their towers and their altars and had their festivals, and Solaris would watch from behind a burning sun. These humans looked so small from up here. They were precious, fleeting things, and Solaris loved them.

These tiny, precious, fleeting things did not need to be told they were there. They knew. They knew. And they loved them for it.

When Solaris sang, the people knew. They felt it in the tender cradle of a sunset whose warmth would linger just a few minutes longer than it would anywhere else. When Solaris sang, the cold seas would warm and calm. When Solaris sang, the shadows and terrors of night would shrink back away from scared children in their beds, and gentle mornings would greet sleepless widowers with honeyed rays and dove song.

When the humans grew greedy for power and paper, Solaris still loved them. When the humans reached for more and still more and were never satiated, Solaris took pity on them. They provided, and provided, and the humans decided this was not enough. When the humans entitled themselves to their generosity and their mercy and their love, Solaris loved them still and wept.

It rained for three days and three nights when the humans took one thing too much.

When Solaris could love them no longer, the humans knew not what they had lost. The seas could not be quelled, the shadows were not without their nightmares, the mornings were not tranquil.

Still they had their festivals for a god they had slain, still they sang and danced and drank and ate and shivered at relentlessly cold nights.

Solaris had loved them. They had loved them. They had loved them.

Mephiles did not know the meaning of love.

[raeloganthesonic06fangirl]

"Shadow Generations" is so funny from Mephiles' point of view.

Imagine getting erased from the prime timeline, spending who knows how long is some sort of limbo void as your essence leaks out around it, spending all that time plotting your revenge, waiting for the right time when your target finally arrives

I mean, Mephiles already had a grudge against Shadow for that paradox they were stuck in back in Sonic 06, where it's basically Mephiles was sealed by Shadow in the Scepter, but Shadow only has the means to do so because Mephiles broke out in the first place to attack Shadow, who goes back in time to seal him, blah blah blah repeat repeat repeat, so of COURSE Mephiles ain't missing his chance to catch him off guard

Presumably, Mephiles spent his countless length of Time in White Space, fantasizing about finally taking down Shadow, planning his attacks, his counters, maybe even his quips just to throw some references back in Shadow's face

Then it finally happens, Shadow finally shows up, and he takes his chance

Sure, Shadow doesn't remember him, but what else is new? At this point, Mephiles is probably considering the possibility that Shadow just has memory problems or something because, wow, this is like at least the third time he's been forgotten even though he's pretty sure been enough of a nuisance to stick in Shadow's brain.

No worries, he's got Shadow's moveset memorized, he knows all his weakness, he's been primed for this exact moment, there's absolutely no way Shadow could possibly scrape by without getting significantly damaged-

And then Shadow turns into a squid.

Mephiles absolutely cannot with this guy

[thespianinthebackcorner]

So uh. Cw for psychological torture (specifically white room torture/sensory deprivation). Sorry chat but I've seen no one acknowledge this

is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that the sonic franchise canonically subjected a character to white room torture for like 20 consecutive years and he kinda just hasn't been let out

Because assuming after Generations all the structures in the White Space returned to their time and are no longer in there, it means Mephiles has been stuck in 100% white sensory deprivation hell since 2006 with only one instance where he actually got any sort of relief from that. And gens was in 2011, which a lot of people forget in Meph's case because of shadow gens releasing this year. So what we saw of him then was meph in 2011, not 2024. And although it probably wasn't as long between all the games, as far as I'm aware we can't tell how long the whole franchise has taken so far, so unless we do have that information all I can say is that Gens probably took place in the original game's release year and he's been in there for nearly 20 years 😭 for a guy who was just trying to fix himself (admittedly, he was going about it in some shitty ways but also like fuck dude do you really expect a tortured, split, half god to be making decisions that align with everyone's morals) that is CRAZY???? LET HIM OUT HELLO HE PROBABLY DOESNT EVEN KNOW HIS OWN NAME ANYMORE

Especially considering the last thing he was told was "there is no future for you. Ever." That was probably rotating in his mind for AGES he probably hasn't forgotten the words but has forgotten all semblance of what they mean. man I knew IDW went into psych horror genre but I didn't realise the GAMES did it 😭😭😭 meph they will never make me hate you

For reference. This is what the Wikipedia page on white room torture says that's relevant to this.

😭meph... Set him free... Sega I beg of you

Alternatively, what the fuck is Infinite doing inside the Phantom Ruby is he going through the same thing

I'm aware that the "stick them in the universe back corner jail" is story code for "keep them out unless we feel like bringing them back" but also Sega you've accidentally back cornered this guy into either needing one HELL of a redemption/recovery storyline or just never appearing again and literally fucking dying in there. Dissolving or some shit. Let him OUT😭

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

The Mephadow crumbs from Shadow Generations still make me insane

Like Shadow is going through one of those moments (what will become lowkey routine by the time he's faced with infinite) where someone who's fighting him and is actively his enemy seems to know him and be obsessed with him. And not only does he not know who this bitch is, he doesn't like him and doesn't enjoy being fixated on. On top of that, even if he DID remember him he'd still be opposed to him.

Meanwhile you have Mephiles who (despite having actually liked Shadow) is fighting for his right to exist again. And you know it would be okay enough if his thirst to exist makes it easy for him to forget how he felt about Shadow, or if he turned to revenge again after what happened in Sonic 06. But nope! Yeah he's fighting Shadow desperately for his right to exist, but he fuckin. He offers to spare Shadow. He's fighting him because he has to, but he still wants him if he can have him.

So imagine being Shadow like "Who tf is this guy and how does he know me", and then Mephiles who was just thinking "maybe this is some joke of fate. It is my second chance" and is now crying internally because Shadow "forgot" him again

Mephiles: So we meet again, Shadow!

Shadow: Who tf are you. Whatever. I'll beat your ass

Mephiles, internally: 🥲 Again?

Mephiles, externally: So you've forgotten me again, have you?

Mephiles, later: I might consider sparing you, you know

Shadow: Ha. No.

Mephiles, externally: Oh, Shadow, how disappointed I am. Truly disappointed!

Mephiles, internally: Seriously, rejected again?🥲

[greatdenimbeast]

About diamond castle au: Why Apollo did not intervene when Mephiles was taking control of everything? Was he not aware of what happened with the other muses and Silver? Also, how Maria stayed in this situation?

Shadow and Sonic were turned into stones like in the barbie movie?

I am 90% sure, but just to confirm: is Sonic a trans guy in this au? 👁👁

Im gonna answer these questions in reverse so:

1. Yes! Sonic is transmasc in this au and all my other au’s and Shadow is agender but usually goes with he/him pronouns

2. Yes Sonic and Shadow are turned to stone just like in the movie. Usually their joined harmony would be enough to protect them from something like this but cuz of the divorceTM and their fighting (not like the usual kind of fighting they do) they’re not in harmony anymore so they get petrified (all according to Mephiles’s plans). But unlike in the movie Silver does not know this and neither does anyone else besides Mephiles and Iblis

3. During Mephiles’s takeover, after they hid the castle, Shadow and Sonic told all the attendants, including Maria, to flee to prevent capture. But over the many millennia since that happened Mephiles captured them all and turned them all into hypnotised slaves to attend him and only him, including Maria

4. This one is gonna be a doozy cuz there’s quite a bit

The reason why Apollo didn’t intervene with Mephiles’s takeover was cuz he was under the assumption that it was a justified and necessary move in order to save the arts

Ya see it all comes back to the fighting and subsequent divorce between Sonic and Shadow.

It was intense to put it lightly and it seemed basically endless to all the other onlookers, their feud was even infamous amongst mortals and was generally giving the muses a bad reputation cuz of how chaotic these fights can be in the godly and mortal realm, and after hundreds of years mortals could hardly remember a time where they weren’t like this, it was just the norm

(In fact not even Sonic and Shadow could remember how their usual rivalry became this endless bitter fued, all they really know is that the other started it. I’ll probs touch upon this more in its own post but it was actually Mephiles’s fault all along)

The fact that Apollo chose them as his muses kinda made their behaviour reflect badly on him despite them being pretty good at their jobs. Mephiles, being all manipulative, kinda put it in his head that mortals with their ‘fickle feelings’ and ‘simple outlooks on life’ just weren’t really suited to the duties of a god so it was ‘getting to them’

That if they, hypothetically, retired it would probably be best for everyone involved.

So when Sonic, Shadow and their son just disappeared one day along with the castle Mephiles explained that they had lashed out against him and hidden the castle from him and that he had ‘taken care of them’ Apollo didn’t bat an eye. It was sad but if it was necessary then it had to be done, he didn’t actually know about what became of the other two muses but they were out of the way and that’s what matters

From then on Mephiles was the only muse people worshipped and prayed to for all the arts, generations upon generations knowing the tale of how Lord Mephiles bravely defeated the other two muses and saved the arts from their on-going war

Effectively rewriting history and becoming the only muse while the Sonic and Shadow and the truth of what they were actually like, and the fact that they were even married at all was forgotten. They were just minor players in Mephiles’s story, the one-note antagonists who never stopped fighting

Just like Mephiles wanted

[destinywillowleaf]

we're calling it an "afterparty" because it's a party after we saved the world

(Sonic X Shadow Generations)

In which Blaze knows things no one else does, Sonic remembers what his friends tell him, and Shadow pays attention to people trying to kill him.

Light spoilers for Shadow Generations? Nothing plot-heavy, just a boss and related dialogue. Mostly under the cut to not clog up too much on mobile. these thoughts would not leave me alone so here they are

EDIT: now as a more fleshed-out fic on AO3!

(Parenthesis) are internal thoughts, [Brackets] are actions/descriptions.

~~~~~

Sonic: Hey, Blaze?

Blaze: [She turns to face him.] Hm?

Sonic: You said you were in that Crisis City place before.

Blaze: I did. (Where is he going with this?)

Sonic: Call me crazy, but it seemed like you really knew the city. But I don't remember running through anything like it in the Sol Dimension, and none of the other locales in White Space were from adventures you guys had without me. What's up with that?

Blaze: (Ah.) It's... something I've been wondering myself for a while now.

Sonic: Huh?

[Her eyes grow distant, looking beyond the trees as she retreads memories.]

Blaze: You're right. Crisis City was not in my world. From my best understanding, it was a future of your world. I wound up there not too long after our adventure together, and was forced to learn the environment quickly at risk of being incinerated by the flames of disaster. Alongside... a friend, we kept it at bay as best we could.

Silver: A friend?

Blaze: (You.) After one such defeat, we were approached by a... hedgehog who claimed to know how to stop it once and for all. According to him, a lone individual was responsible for the awakening of the flames. (If I had questioned him more before, perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess of forgotten memories now.) You, Sonic.

Sonic: Me?!

Blaze: That turned out not to be the case, but nevertheless we still set out from our time into the past - your present. We were in the Kingdom of Soleanna, around the Festival of the Sun, I believe. I know... my friend encountered you a few times, but I met you then as well. We eventually returned to the future to seal away the flames once and for all. I fully intended to sacrifice myself but when it was all done... I awoke back in my own dimension.

Sonic: Eh... it's kinda ringing some bells.

Blaze: Really?

Sonic: If you told me any of this yesterday, no, but I feel like running through those streets brought something back. I definitely passed by the kingdom at one point, but I don't think I remember meeting you there. [He scratches his head.] At the same time, I kinda remember meeting someone there...

Blaze: I see.

Sonic: Side note, any reason why're you being so vague about your friend? I feel like their name's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't place 'em.

Blaze: (Because saying anything now means admitting that I've known exactly who was in Silver's dreams and never told him.)

Shadow: If I may be so bold.

Blaze: Yes...?

Shadow: Everything surrounding this... Crisis City seems to have been forgotten. Lost in time, as it were.

Blaze: I suppose that's one way to describe it. I just wish I knew why I seem to be the only one to recall anything that happened.

Shadow: Regardless, you said it was a hedgehog who approached you and your friend about the one responsible for the flames.

Blaze: He appeared to be one, at the very least. (Come to think of it...) He actually looked quite a bit like you, and still spoke to us despite lacking a mouth.

[Shadow's eyes go wide.]

Shadow: Was his name Mephiles?

[Blaze freezes in place.]

Blaze: ...how do you know that name?

[Shadow looks away and clenches his hand.]

Shadow: He confronted me earlier, raving about restoring himself to the timeline. I had no idea who he was, yet he claimed to know me. [He turns, meeting her eyes briefly.] You are the only one to remember...

Blaze: ...because that timeline no longer exists. (Something happened to destroy it. Returning to my dimension must have protected me from having my memories affected. It's a miracle Sonic remembers anything now at all.) How did he manage to find you, then?

[Shadow shrugs and turns away, leaving Blaze to her thoughts.]

Silver: Hm....

Blaze: Is there something on your mind?

Silver: You and your friend were fighting some big fiery creature in the future together, right? [Blaze nods.] It kinda sounds like Ifrit, but that was me and Espio.

Blaze: (...I've kept it from him long enough.) It was Iblis.

Silver: Ibl—

[A look of recognition flashes in his eyes. Everything clicks into place.]

Silver: All this time... it was you? They–They weren't dreams or future visions at all?

Blaze: I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. (Not that I've had many opportunities to do so to begin with.)

Silver: I've never really felt like I belonged in my own future, even before I tried to change it the first time. [Silver lets out a tired chuckle.] I guess I know why now. And–And why I was there instead of anywhere else, and why it still felt familiar even though I didn't know where I was. Except, I guess, I did know where I was. Kinda.

[The party air is distant despite being so close, and the gap between them feels like a chasm.]

Silver: What was it like?

Blaze: The old future?

Silver: Mhm. What kinda stuff did we do besides fighting fires?

Blaze: Well...

~~~~~

if you're reading this part you're cool B) but seriously i think it would be fun for Shadow to be the only other person who actually knows Mephiles. Silver has shreds of memory at best, Sonic never learned the guy's name, and no one else even has a shot at remembering. even after generations Sonic doesn't remember most of what happened and Blaze can't help since she wasn't around for most of it. idk if anyone ever finds out that Sonic died during all that nonsense.

(also something about Shadow, the one guy notorious for having a shit memory thanks to Amnesia, being the one to know/remember stuff from a timeline that doesn't exist is just. inherently funny to me)

[duckapus]

You know, considering his Whole Thing is Time, you'd think Mephiles would understand why Shadow has "forgotten" him twice. And yet he's still genuinely offended by it, cause like, how dare his arch-nemesis be a Mortal who can only experience time linearly, right?

[ssaluss]

With shadow generations i've been thinking about Silver a Lot.

This will be a Long rant about a comic/concept that i will NOT be able to work upon, i'm a full time College student and work as an illustrator via Freelance, alongside personal projects ill say i feel like i have too much at hand but enough talk, concept below cut

As you'll see, this was inpired by Mephiles return, i can Dream abou a new silver campaing and i think a good villain would be Silver himself (Kinda inspired by an video i've seen years ago, if i remember wich one i'll link it in the comments).

Like, erased Silver being one of the remnants of this forgotten world, going back to his future to find nothing, learning how to time travel himself so he could save the life he wanted to have, but he keeps failing because he (his 2006 self) don't exist anymore.

Erased/06 Silver is a different entity than current canon Silver, whom i imagine have an ok future that sometimes is in danger so he goes back, fix things and everything is fine and rainbows again.

Borrowing the concept of multiple realities out of prime and dimensions cause Rush, Erased Silver trying everything he could to save his reality, his world in shambles and everyone that could have survived, he tried the chaos emeralds, not his as his world don't exist anymore, searching through dimensions and alternative realities were, even if he gater them all, they do nothing, even the Master emerald once, it just kicked him back to the nothingness.

So he becomes not quite a villain but someone desperate by all means to just exist.

I just think its neat the team discovering some new threat cause the Canon Silver said his future is starting to colapse but he can't trace the moment in time that explains why, just to fight something like the Time Eater but learning that the one pulling the strings is someone that seems familiar but they can't figure out why (different design, maybe masks like infinite or shade ya know). And he keeps the theme Mephiles started...

"I want to exist"

In his mind he's still a hero trying to fix everything and bring everyone back.

The more fanfic-ish thing out of this already fanfic-ish concept is Canon Silver or Good Future Silver being raised by Shadow cause i love their dynamic and think its neat, not in the board of "oh he's actually his biological father" yadda yadda (if you are thats ok, im in this boat if we talk about vincent and sephiroth) but id like an adopted father/tutor role cause my boy Shad have seem much and he cares about his friends, so if he saw little silver just waddling around you can't convince me he wouldn't take care of the little thing (and i love the idea of silver's bracelets being some kind of inhibitor, im still making fanfic at heart).

Also holy shit What im made of is back this was my whole childhood soundtrack alongside his world and i am all of me.

[emioliravioli]

Mephiles is weak but he refuses to accept it

Already a husk of a god but now split in twain

Shambling aimlessly searching for power, energy, anything to keep his front. To keep his identity. To stay a threat. To exist.

To him the ultimate failure is being forgotten.

To him he's already failed twice

Both at the hands of the ultimate lifeform

Shadow didn't remember him when he was freed

Shadow didn't remember him in white space

This time it would be different

It had to be

Yeah something like this I'd say

hey so what

[shxdesofchaos-moved]

"Ah. I believe only Deity and god have similar definitions, elemental is usually something different." Umbra starts off with, "Though stating you do not have any particular preference would have worked as an answer as well if you truly don't."

The ebony hedgehog paused as he heard the rest of it, an ear twitching. Right, if he didn't know about Chaos Drives, he likely didn't know about Gerald either. He took a slower, deeper breath as this would be a bit more of a sound bite than he normally was.

"...I was created, not born. G.U.N... the Guardian Units of Nations which are a military group... funded the project which led to my creation and also those of the chaos drives, which were made in conjunction with myself as they were a part of the project's process. Essentially, I'm an artificially created lifeform. An experiment."

"I'm considered the solution for those of whom the answer to their prayer is 'no'. I was created by Gerald to be the cure for all diseases and illnesses by making sure upon my creation that I was immune to them." Umbra began to explain the core idea of the project that had created him in incredibly rudimentary, bare bones skeletal details so that the base idea of what was meant to be accomplished would be understood.

"They utilized alien DNA... that which causes things like these wings that I have already explained regarding the Black Arms, and then Mobian hedgehog DNA in order to give me a form that resembles a mural on Angel Island, a floating island that is where the Echidnas lived and the Master Emerald is kept. As well as in order to make sure that I was stable for the level of raw chaos energy they put in my system through those drives, which enables me to utilize Chaos Energy the way I do." Umbra stated.

His voice tone is detached as he explained it, as it's not the first time that he's talked about it. He'd done so on the ARK when gathering the emeralds back then for the Eclipse Cannon. It's not difficult to talk about, at least, not in the level of detail that he is purposefully leaving out since Mephiles had not asked for an in-depth explanation. Even if there are a great many implications of just how Gerald and the other scientists who would have been helping the professor would have made sure that Shadow was actually immune to all diseases and illnesses. Not that he had ever gotten to the part where he was used as a cure. The ARK raid had seen to that.

A preferred name for his kind? The knee-jerk response would have been that Mephiles was fond of them being called gods, as the implications that had in almost any language were the same. And it was fairly accurate as far as he was concerned.

Neither did he think it very important, but…

“It matters not. As you would say, at the end of the day, I am what I am, and words do not change that. Deity, god, elemental — they all, more or less, mean the same thing.”

 He stared momentarily at the other. Mephiles couldn’t help himself.

“You keep talking about… things and people, talking about them as though they are common knowledge. Gerald was… your creator?” A pause; he noted mentally that he might be asking about something that the other may not want to talk about, but if that were the case, then why did he keep mentioning bits of it?

“I’m afraid I am a little lost.”

[ @adarkpastandbrightfuture sending shadow at erased verse innerste! ]

The short hog knew this was stupid. To search out a god that, twice now, had been on his bad side and clawing at his legs to cause havoc- it was stupid to the others. Sonic especially thought it to be a bad idea but after a heated debate shadow snapped and pushed his way past the blue hero and went on his way. He wasnt.. searching for the deity to cause him trouble this time. He had time to think over their last fight. He’d acted out because doom was on his nerves and he saw everyone but maria and gerald as an obstacle doom set infront of him to get into his body. So he.. was going to apologize? Yeah he- guessed thats what he was doing. Issue is, how do you find a god erased from the timeline? The timeeater was gone, so.. humh. How does one find such an elusive and forgotten deity. Does he shout his name? Guess he could try.

“MEPHILES! SHOW YOURSELF!” Screeched out as loud as his alien lungs can allow, either hes screaming into a useless void, or this works. He’ll find out-

"You don't have to yell..." Mephiles rasped as he formed briefly before practically collapsing forward. His body twitching as smoke leaked off of his body as he kept his blood mostly as vapor, though some of it wasn't, and was instead dripping down in thick dark purple lines down his currently mangled legs that had more cuts open up even as he knelt there. some of his back also being ripped apart.

He was shaking, quills, at least those that he still had that hadn't fallen or become misshapen due to his physical form becoming a bit more mangled and melty and so some of the quills of his more organic shape he had devolved back to now had lost their proper shape still managing at least bristle them slightly in a wary, somewhat angry fashion.

"... Mmmngh... I can hear you just fine..." He rasped as he wobbled even while basically on all fours, woozy and in a terrible amount of pain.

Who gets the new year’s kiss?? 👀👀

Who’s bringing all the fun board games and stuff?

Who’s chilling in the hot tub and listening to the gossip being spilled? Or just hanging in there to just chill?

Who went off to enjoy their time with their friends and other loved ones (a partner of some kind)

Who brought all the good foods and snacks, alongside the fireworks?

Who helps set up the fireworks display and helps set them off? :D

Who’s watching the kids use sparklers and stuff?

Who’s watching the ball drop this year in New York?

Who is falling into the pool after getting drunk? LMAO

(You can use any and all characters from your and my AU. GO NUTSO GLAZE! :D)

Ohhhhhh goooddiieeee 👀👀🔥🔥🔥

I think pretty much everyone will be dressed to impress when they arrive. May it be the most gorgeous of fashions or the most dank-ass thing ever. Everyone will pull out all stops 💅

Definitely can see Shadow and Seelka doing that. Hecc, even Mephiles will join in on the fun, too 🔥🔥🔥

You can bet that Scourge and Mayhem will be the ones ending up drunk and getting the party animal vibes going stronk. Figured Aeon and Rouge recording their fails xD Mighty having to drag their asses out of the pool and drag them back home again 💀💀💀

I bet Vanilla and Vector host the party, making sure everyone is happy and having a good time.

Krush, Tails and Infinite will bring snacks, drinks, and fireworks. Although they might be tampered with for the little extra something 🔥🔥🔥

They both will watch Sonic, Knuckles and Silver fire off the fireworks... only to find out a little TOO late that it's not your basic fireworks 💀💀💀

Amy, Surge, Cream, and Blaze will play board games and watch the ball drop at New York ✨️✨️

Nazo, Iris, Annihilation, and Camellya will be chilling in the hot tub. SPILLING THE TEA THAT HOTTER THAN THE WATERS SIS 💅💅✨️✨️✨️

All of the couples will be getting their New Year's Smooch 😌✨️✨️💕💕

Just to name a few x3, I might have forgotten some people, but yeah ✨️✨️✨️

Bang is just like "My family is so rad!!"

Meanwhile, Moon is a tad bit concerned about his families problems/crimes. Like he wasn't phased at first, but after learning his whole family has:

Attempted murder (either once or multiple times)

Successfully killed someone (some of them, not all)

Overthrown a government and took over said government (Scourge)

Tried to destroy a planet (Mephiles, Iblis, and Shadow)

Committed several war crimes (both on purpose and by accident)

Literally killed gods (*cough* Sonic *cough*)

And somehow, let a crazy zombie doctor who experimented on some kids, turning them into cyborgs, and has probably tried to kill the entire family at least once, be the uncle of the family.

It's fine tho! Moon is only a tad bit concerned! Just a tad bit, definitely not secretly setting up a therapy appointment.

this made me laugh really hard not bc of the thing with moon but bc it reminded me flatline was part of this au and i had COMPLETELY FUCKING FORGOTTEN despite him being a very important piece of this puzzle
