#Sonic Thoughts

[pastelspindash]

thinking about sonic and the black knight and like. lancelot. devoting himself to serving his king for his whole life and then sonic comes along and tells him to live for himself, not for anyone else, and definitely not for sonic. he teaches him that his choices are his own and that he can do whatever he wishes and the concept of freedom is so foreign to lance that its overwhelming . sonic tells lance that he's no king . why should he get to decide what lance does. lance should decide for himself. be his own leader. that's what life is all about. there is something beautiful about it

real random

but I feel like movie sonic would like listening to Bruno mars ( I’ve been listening to die with a smile) and the thought of sonic just doing air guitar motions and singing along I just love and find so adorable

If knuckles and tails were to join, I can see knuckles playing the drums. Maybe tails could play electric guitar cause why not?

Ok so this may be rude to ask, but I’ve been wondering after being on tumblr for a while about something. I’m Neurodivergent and I like Sonic, I feel like I don’t belong with a lot of people in my life but I’ve always felt at home with this series. All the characters are unique and accepting of each others differences and I feel really drawn to that. Being in the real world and being judged for not being mainstream or liking popular things or just generally being different than others, it sucks. Does anybody else feel this way? I guess what I’m asking is why are people like me drawn to these characters? I hope this makes sense.

I was going to make a post about how Mephiles should be allowed to commit at least one theatrical demonic yeet, as a treat, since it's a staple of being A Horror. (case in point, every poltergeist in a horror movie ever).

And then I remembered.

This.

One of my Sonic fanfiction romance icks is cheating stories.

It’s not the act of cheating itself that’s the problem for me. It’s everything around the cheating. I feel like the writing is often weak, the characters almost never feel like themselves, and I think the Sonic franchise is not suited for it. At all.

And I’m not even talking about the act of the cheat for the characters feeling out of character. I mean yeah. That’s obviously part of it. But the personalities are often so… out of character that I just don’t buy it. For example: a lot of sonamy vs sonally stories the characters get venomous so fast! This happens in a lot of Sonadow cheat stories too! I’m sure it’s across the board. (A lot of people pick the same few “victims” too. Which is an interesting commentary in itself.)

I’m not blind. There are certainly some examples of the behavior in “canon”. Like in the Archie Comics. I like to think I’m not closed minded either. I like crackships. I like AUs, canon x OC, gay, weird scenarios, whatever. You don’t have to stick to the canon guideline. I dare say it’s better if you loosen up and do your own thing. I do.

But I feel like in addition the writing is often very bare bones reasoning as to why the cheating happened? The motivation is almost always the same across works. “New person hot, I’m attracted”. And while this is a very real reason people cheat it often comes with weak character writing. People often sacrifice character depth for the drama of the cheat. Especially for the person being cheated on, they’re often a blank slate because the obvious focus is the ship they wanted to write.

Which that… works... that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But it doesn’t make the story compelling either. Especially in long form. It reminds me of the other irks I have with the trope too. Like the victim killing themselves or the victim secretly being an abusive asshole all along to justify the actions, etc etc. For me it’s not fun to read. They’re narrative shortcuts to write the happily ever after of the ship and I think ruins the point. I tend to like stuff that embraces the messiness and characters that own they aren’t being nice. It should be messy because they made a messy choice.

Don’t confuse these as judgements. These are blatant preferences of mine. Not every fanfiction has to be a grandiose art piece that we will tell tales of for eons to come. You should write what you like. And undeniably people clearly like reading it, as that’s why there’s so much of it. You damn well shouldn’t be writing to make people like me happy. I am so obviously not your demographic and that’s very okay for both parties!

But I can still have thoughts on it and reflect why it doesn’t bring me enjoyment. If that bothers you; write more fanfiction about it for the real ones. I respect that.

People say Elise has no personality, but, she does? she's reserved. but she still has clear traits. Being reserved doesn't equal no personality.

Yeah she is a bit bland, but its... kind of the point? She's emotionally repressed. She had to hide her emotions in order to not risk crying and releasing iblis.

Even before the Solaris project her father is teaching her to be emotionally repressed.

But we see her open up more when she's around Sonic.

It's why whenever I see people say "Elise has no personality" or "she has the personality of sand paper" I cant help but feel a bit irked.

I got spoiled the "I heart you too Shadow" but I haden't seen the clip and I was surprised at the tone, like, I thought it was gonna be like "yeah... I like you too shadow" like sarcasms due to what Shadow said you know?. But he sounded so sincere... I don't know I just didn't expect it

People wanting amy to be introduced in the third movie are all valid but it would be a complete mess

There's way too much going on for amy to have a non forced presence without getting overshadowed,let's not forget that sa2 is also about how far the main four has come as characters and as a team,to have amy show up without any special bond with the boys feels unfair

That's why I think she should be introduced in the knuckles show this year,amy joining the brothers this early would be the perfect chance for them to develop them as a team since they get to interact more

Also consider this: knuckles and amy are siblings

if i draw sonadow will you guys be mad at me

[pastelspindash]

a big chunk of sonic's friends (shadow, knuckles, blaze, silver, even amy in a certain light) originally being so devoted and loyal to their duty that despite their loyalty being respectable, it suffocates them and sets them back as a person and sonic, the embodiment of freedom, teaching them that while important, their duty doesn't have to define who they are as a person, that they're so much more than that, is just so. its good, man. he's taught so many people how to live for themselves and be their own person and help them let go of the oppression they've created for themselves without even realising

Okay- aside from everyone's qualms with the current arc and most recent chapter, let's talk about Mimic's eyes.

Silver seemed to make a special emphasis on how Duo's eyes could change. It seems like Mimic wasn't afraid to flash his signature eyes at Silver before practically ruining his life twice. Whisper states that maybe they reveal themselves when he is spooked. But given his big ol' grin as soon as the eyes start changing seems to suggest otherwise.

His eyes seem to reveal themselves when he feels sure and in control vs when he is supposedly in fear-

So Whisper's understanding seems to be less likely (unless becoming cocky and smiley is a fear response), but this begs the question: are Mimic's eyes changing because he wants them to change, or do they change involuntarily?

They seem to reveal themselves when Duo is being Mimic. Understandable to remind the viewer who we are dealing with, but Silver made the distinction not once, but twice that his eyes seemed to change. Whisper then goes on to say Mimic has certain tells and knows immediately Duo is Mimic by how Silver describes his eyes. Is he taunting Silver with them? If he was, why when he's talking to himself in private would his eyes also change (aside from letting the reader know Mimic is Duo and everything is coming to him easily)?

For a professional assassin as well, as cocky as he is, it does seem odd he'd give himself away so easily TWICE to the same psychic. Now, it has seemingly not affected in blowing his cover, but it almost did.

We also have him looking at his hands twice after shapeshifting- once at the beginning of this arc and once at the end of Tangle and Whisper. We've seen other tells of Mimic which he's been able to hide in this form (lighter color, brown eyes, visible suckers).

I might be overthinking this. It could simply just being him feeling cocky and something just to remind the readers that Duo is Mimic and Mimic is manipulative and Silver just happens to be observant. But the fact that it has been not only pointed out but almost lead to his discovery seems to feel like there's more to it than that. What's consistent is that it happens when Mimic tends to drop the act of Duo and does something like leaving Silver to die, faking an injury, and feeling in control. When Mimic feels in control, does he lose control over his tells, or does he just like taunting those he thinks he has control over?

So, based purely off of this post, I had a thought.

Somewhere floating around Tumblr land is a post with the official Sega character descriptions, and for Silver it says that mysterious portals open when he's needed in the past. Which got me thinking.

What if the Master Emerald is the thing that's opening the portals for him? It's omnipresent, and maybe wherever it is in the future allows it to have greater access to various powers and connections to different people and places.

And maybe it adopted Silver as its own. It's unclear whether or not Knux is still around in Silver's time, but it doesn't seem like he is. What if the M.E looked at this spindly little hedgehog with the amazing powers and thought "this little guy needs some friends" and just chucks him in the past whenever he's feeling particularly lonely or sad? The gem doesn't have a connection with Silver like it did with Knux, so it can't really tell him why he's going back, but the fact that he appears when there's a problem and puts him in contact with Sonic and crew seems a little specific to me.

At any rate, it's a fun thing to think about. The ME just collects kids and exerts its will over them when it thinks they need some socializing.

"Loser, Baby," but it's Movie!Knuckles as Angel Dust & Movie!Sonic as Husker

[swiftasfuckboii]

I know a lot of people knock Roger Craig Smith’s voice performance as Sonic, but personally I think he killed it in Frontiers. The deeper direction they chose to go with fits better with his voice than being higher pitched. Also I think Ian Flynn’s writing totally helped.

I still think the boom TV show was his best performance though!

Mephiles but he's got points in attack instead of pouring them all into intelligence and constitution.

Can you imagine how goddamn outclassed most of the cast would be in close combat against an eldrich abomination with massive claws for hands and spears for feet and a moral compass that points firmly at 'this narrative is rated E for Extinction.'

You don't get kicked, you get stabbed. Punches? More like localized evisceration. We're not even going to talk about the blue fire or the poison gas or the shields or the monsters or the army of shadows or the fact this angry little chandelier will absolutely fight dirty and use deception to catch his opponents off guard.

With his skills more spread out, you might be able to make him bleed, but are you sure getting that close to him is worth it?
