#Sonic Underground Project

[shinymisty-blog]

I realized this will be...awkwardly placed no matter which spot I put it (the normal Tumblr post or the Google Docs) so here's a free post about my thought process! XD

At the start of Beginnings, we get a scene of Arisicrats in a room having a good time, showing us what Aleena is saying: “As the source of Robotnik’s money, the Aristocrats were left to play."

During this scene...we see this:

The one photo on the wall looks a bit like Snively if he had an adult growth spurt and was a woman. But if you take a closer look at the right edge...you see a farmiliar figure...

My friend suggests that this could be a funny easter egg of “early concept art of Sleet” which would be a funny little detail if true. It could also explain why the other photo looks like Snively, as it could have been early designs for Robotnik or his henchmen. (I'd lean towards a henchmen)

But, IN UNIVERSE, who could this be? Yes. I am overanalyzing this one image that appears in one scene, for about maybe 5 seconds of the show. It isn’t important at all, but Sleet is my hyper fixation if you remember.

I will first say that this cannot be Sleet, himself. The hair and body color is just slightly off to be him. Plus, the outfit is completely wrong, which, on its own doesn’t mean anything, but this is Sleet we are talking about. He seems to care a lot about his looks. So, if it isn’t Sleet, then it must be a relative. They look way too similar to him to not be distantly related in some way. Cool. We got that out of the way.

But this then leaves another question. Where is this party being held? Because depending on if it is in the Palace or at an Aristicrat’s house could change some things. Seeing as there are multiple different photos on the walls, I’ll assume it is the part of the ballroom, connected to the building that we see in Wedding Bell Blues. Maybe a part that Robotnik kept intact for the Aristocrats to play in. This means one thing.

So.., I came to the conclusion that this photo is of a distant relative to Sleet who was, in some way, involved with the Royal Family. And they had a horrible sense of fashion, too. 

This is a part of my Sonic Underground Project. To read from the start, here's the Master Post. Or you can just read more Headcanons on Sleet (And Dingo, too).

So this is a bit of a dump, BUT I’ve wanted to do always do a Sonic Underground rewrite since the series got cancelled. For ages, I’ve had ideas in my head, and I finally put them down on paper, both writing and art wise (with my wife @ninjaneonleon for the writing).

It’s a background burner project with planning ideas out right now, but it’ll eventually come. For now, have some redesigns of the main three, Aleena, and a new character that’ll be important to the story. 👀

If anyone ever wants to hear more, I’m always down for talking and dumping about it~

[badlydrawnmanic]

i got a new art program and tried to mimic the ms paint brush within it

think i did a pretty good job-

I'm working on a project looking to finish sonic underground if anyone else is interested?

I'm helping with animation but anyone else who'd want to join is welcome to ^^ just lmk!

Did you have an ending in mind for the Warner Underground?

Yep, I did. It was gonna be a series split into two or three parts, likely two. "The Warner Underground" would have ended with the Warner siblings successfully defending Pip's hideout from Salazar's forces with their magical weapons.

Part two, "The Warner Rebellion," would have covered some episodes of Sonic Underground, introducing more allies, working on ways to destroy the Dip, and Slappy and Skippy truly joining the group. It would have ended with Angelina and William saving Dot's adopted mother from her prison.

Part three, "The Warner Uprising," would have covered Eva and Dot's reunion, Pinky and Brain joining the rebellion (and getting together) and some Angelina and William POV as they have their own escapades. Destruction of the Dip factories and the true discover of how to destroy/neutralise Dip. Salazar would have continued to unravel as paranoia overtook him. It would end with the big Warner reunion and the rebels reclaiming the capital city and castle. Salazar would escape into the woods, "never to be seen again." In actuality, Angelina and William tracked him down and, when trying to flee them, he would have the classic "Disney villain" moment of falling to his death due to his own hubris. End on a happy, hopeful note of the kingdom beginning to restore itself, the Warners all truly reunited, and all records on how to make Dip destroyed.

...

You know, I never really thought to make a WHOLE ASS PLAYLIST of the songs I'd use in Sleet and Dingo (...and Somethings Bartleby) AMVs or Multi Animation Projects if I could handle that.

Not all the songs that I've fallen in love with are accounted for quite yet. But hey, I'm getting there.

And hey, while I'm at it, here: Have a PLAYLIST OF ALL THE SONGS I have ideas for AMVs/Multi Animation Projects for Sonic Underground. Because I want them to be real so bad, but I don't know how to host them or handle them. ;w;

so i'm not the only one with a sleet/dingo playlist, right

No Strings Attached belongs to @nostringsattachedau [link to ask blog]

Infested belongs to @flightyalrighty [link to comic]

Explore each world below the cut!

No Strings Attached:

It's a alternate reality AU following a Human OC named Zelda Frost where she served as a Member of G.U.N. for the last ten years but after the War to take back the World she was greeted by a new plan from G.U.N. called Project Benedict where they announced their collaboration with the Eggman Empire and plan to capture Sonic and his friends in order to ensure no complications when they take control. Zelda rebels and leaves G.U.N. after this and joins the Resistance in order to help inform and protect Sonic and his friends.

Infested:

Infested is an AU webcomic in which a large swarm of ancient brain parasites are unleashed from underground to wreak havoc on Mobius. In this AU, Sonic and Shadow both become hosts to this parasite -- A situation that causes the former to do the unthinkable to his closest friend and brother, Tails. This (17+ for gore, violence, and mature themes) AU is as much a work of horror as it is a drama, and is very much about grief.

SONIC 3 THEORY; SHADOW WAS MADE ON EARTH

After rewatching the trailer over and over and overanalyzing every screenshot. I think I have a fair assumption that Shadow was not made on the Ark. In fact, I doubt the Ark existed in the Movie universe until Sonic's time.

Crazy theory time is a go,

Why do I think Shadow was made on Earth?

1. Trailer backgrounds.

We see three scenes with Shadow's test tube. One where it stands intact, and two where it is seen broken. In the scene where its intact, its harder to tell where its located, with just machinery and darkness as a backdrop. Which easily could have mislead us to thinking this is the Ark.

But when its the broken one scenes, we can see first in its reflection what looks like an old railing. Its is very faint in my screenshots but if you give it a look on bigger screens its a bit more visible.

The railing is more fitting of a 70s house railing than a space station's. Unless Gerald made his quarters look like a house, a possibility.

But. In the second scene where Shadow punches forward, this very same broken test tube is seen, and the lightsource is now clear to us. Its a hole in the background wall. This hole is clearly either damage from a fight, or a natural collapse. But whats for sure is that the location is on earth, as overgrowth can be seen through the debris and around the broken wall.

Now this can be bounced back as maybe a secondary location to hold Shadow to have further testing when Gerald was contained and brought back to earth. But. We also have to think of another detail.

2. The Era

Gerald's story is set 50 years ago on our earth, our world. Gerald was not a roboticist, but more a biological scientist, and in that era, they had very rudimental space exploration shuttles, like the Apollo missions. I highly doubt a ship the size of the Ark was made during that time, and that the military had advanced enough ships to raid said Ark and return to earth without a risk. We could say the same with the technology used to create Shadow being way too advanved for its era, which honestly is true.

To me the interesting part is the Ark seems to have been contained in a G.U.N stronghold, as we see what I assume is the Ark emerge from the waters in London.

As far as we know, G.U.N was only created recently, as the second movie indicates, so they couldn't have been in possession of such a gigantic asset for a long time. Unless the military was the one in possession of it and transfered to G.U.N when they were wipping their database from Robotnik's info. Maybe it was found after? Maybe Eggman made it? Wtf's it doing in LONDON? Changing its location alone would be impossible for how big it is... Many ideas could explain this but my theories have nothing solid for the small bits of content shown...

But either or, the last piece of proof I have is.

3. Maria's death scene

Not much is seen in that one shot, but it speaks for a lot.

In this scene, clearly the area has been raided, there is military, but the background also has hint details for us. We can see a flipped over car in the corner. There is also possibly a military car/jeep seen in the other corner burning. They may be in an underground area long enough to use cars, like a tunnel? Part of a military base? Sadly the amount of smoke doesnt make it easy to figure out whats behind them, and even whats on the ground. Though i just feel like it doesnt really look like the Ark to me.

With that in mind we also have to remember that this is not a note for note retelling of SA 2. Clearly something like the Ark will appear as seen behind Tails in that one shot.

But I theorize it was made later. Gerald, if alive or not, is seen with Eggman tech in his old home, probably for research purposes to better understand his grandson's mechanical genius, and maybe to recruit him to build or perfect the Ark project? Clearly in this scene Eggman seems surprised to see his tech there...

About Gerald, its hard to know if he is truly alive or not. To me two options are possible. Either Eggman is hallucinating tf out after either being knocked out or something of the like, meeting his grandfather and it goes into a spiral of insanity.

Or.

Gerald completed his research that he had first aimed for with the existence of Project Shadow. Immortality. the detail that makes me wonder if we will go that path, is during Maria's death scene, Gerald looks the same age as when he's seen interacting with Eggman. His white mustache and body stance is exactly the same, and we would have expected a lot more wrinkles and showing bones if the man was almost 130 years old.

Another detail into question;

If Shadow was made on Earth, what kind of sickness does Maria have? An interesting detail I did notice from all the shots that clearly belong to Gerald's home, is that its absolutely dark. No windows are seen, and the type of debris and breaks seen on the walls feel like it was made of concrete. Which makes me think that possibly, his home was a bunker. Hidden in the alps somewhere, so he could work on his research in secret, but also keep Maria safe.

An interesting twist for her character to not have experienced earth, would be if she had a type of illness that renders her Immuno-compromised to the point of it being fatal, or maybe a reaction so intense to the sun or even simply the air up on the surface being dangerous for her. She could only dream of the world outside as she is not allowed to leave the bunker to see it. It would bring a similar narrative to her and Shadow watching the earth from space!

Anyways I digress, I don't claim anything I've said to be solid truth. Ive just been digging the trailer and turning it in my brain in every possible direction that I had to post my ramblings somewhere, or else I would have gone insane. This will eat at me for the next months until the release, or a more detailed preview is posted. Enjoy the brainworms yippeeeee ♡♡♡

Also please if you have seen bits and pieces of the leaked unfinished cut please dont tell me about it Ive ran into 4 different mini spoilers and I'm still mad about it :)))

Genesis and Exodus!

My Sonadow test tube babies with a Trigun inspired backstory B)

Project Genesis was created by a religious underground organization trying to perfect project Shadow. Their main change to Gerald's work being the addition of Sonic's DNA as they believed the key to perfecting the ultimate life form lies within the power from the fastest being on earth.

Initially the project was only supposed to form one being but during the process another split off and they named them Exodus. They live within the organization until their tenth birthday when they stumble upon the older sibling they never knew about, battered and broken in a stasis tube from over testing and experimentation. This day is also the day that Sonic, Shadow, and the rest of the gang were able to locate and infiltrate the organization to see what was going on behind the scenes just to stumble upon Genesis and Exodus and ultimately deciding to take them in and raise them.

The drawing above is them when they are around 20 years old :)

[angelkitty54]

Sonic Prime AU time! (coz this has been everywhere in the last month or so.) Basically just some ideas I had for shatterverse versions of Sonic and Shadow, set after the end of the series.

New Yoke City: Based on the idea in SA2 where it's kinda implied Sonic was also made on the Ark like Shadow (which is never brought up again). Basically Nine stumbles across a pod that contains the New Yoke version of Sonic (Spirit) and excitedly wakes him up. However he quickly finds that this is not the Sonic he met before; Spirit has never been out of his bio-tank thingy before, he is basically a newborn in a full grown body, with the mentality of a newborn too. Spirit is a wide-eyed innocent child, sweet, kind and trusting, a stark contrast to the world around him and the people in it. Nine is having a hard time adjusting, especially since Spirit's keeps chewing on all his power cables. He is also constantly being accused of having cloned Sonic. Which he totally did not! He found this Sonic fair and square thank you very much!

Meanwhile, having lost their power source, the Chaos Council has lost a lot of ground to the resistance. In searching for new power sources and weapons, they discover Project Umbra (three guess who this is). Umbra leans a little more into his alien side than Shadow does, he is also less of an angsty teen and more of a scared, grieving child lashing out at a world that hurt him. He agrees to work for the council only due to the distant family connection, but he doesn't particularly like them or care about their goals. He just wants to see the world burn. Of course, things change when he finds out his baby brother survives the raid on the Ark. Tho he is not particularly happy about this strange fox hanging around, acting all buddy buddy with Umbra's brother. Ugh, the nerve of that guy!

Boscage Maze: Got inspiration from movies like Nausicaa and Origin: Spirits of the Past. So the instead of the prism, the massive jungle was actually caused by a bio-experiment gone wrong which set off an apocalypse. There are effectively three groups of survivors, those that escaped into space (mainly GUN people), those that survived on the surface (whose descendants became groups like the scavengers) that live more or less in harmony with the jungle, and those that made it into underground shelters and were put into stasis chambers where they have slept for several hundred years. The latter two group are often at odds with each other, one wanting their old world back, the other wanting the jungle to stay as is. Dr Nightshade Robotnik and his assistant, Sunny, are among the stasis group.

In this universe Gerald went down the road of cybernetics as well as genetic engineering when creating his Ultimate Lifeform, Nightshade. Their Maria got to live her life to it's fullest, becoming a scientist like her grandfather. Nightshade also dedicated his life to science, wanting to follow Maria's dreams of making the world a better place, even after she passed away. Sunny benefited from their research, as it's thanks to their work into cybernetics that he is able to walk (and run) again. Upon waking in the post-apocalyptic world, Dr Nightshade has made it his mission to find out what caused the plants to grow out of control and hopefully reverse the effects. Sunny, someone who sees the benefits of both the old and new world, hopes that he can help the good Doctor find balance between the natural and mechanized worlds. Meanwhile GUN is up to something rather suspicious up there in space...

No Place Sea: Yay pirate AU!! Honestly didn't have a lot of ideas beyond just pirates tho... Shadow is Captain Blackheart and is like super duper cursed. He is captain of a ghost ship, whose crew is also super cursed and/or undead. All save a single member, his navigator Tempest (Sonic), who is immune to the effects curses due to him being half siren. Tempest does not speak much as his voice is imbued with the charming power of a siren, which he lacks much control over. He has a knack for reading the winds and currents making him an ideal navigator in treacherous waters. He is both drawn to and fears the water, as something in those dark depths keeps calling to him, eager to drag him down down down into darkness... However he can't bring himself to stay away despite the danger, and luckily whatever is hunting him seems to steer clear of the ghost ship. In exchange for shelter aboard his ship, Tempest is helping Blackheart track down and decode ancient sea charts that will lead them to a great treasure he's been hunting. One said to be able to grant wishes: the chaos emeralds!

The Canine Duo (Sleet and Dingo)

Here it is. The mighty wall of text that is my thoughts and headcanons for Sleet and Dingo!! The spark that started this whole mess! Of course, it was these two. They are the reason I love underground so much in the first place. They were one of my original fixations from back when I was eight(ish)! 

Disclaimers and notes for this particular post: ❗❗Heavy topics will be discussed in this post. This is a post about a character who has been depicted verbally (and sometimes physically) abusing his work partner! So do be warned that I will be talking about that, as it is vital to the character(s). •Be warned: These posts are often just MASSIVE walls of text! I have the "Keep Reading" tab there for a reason! •While there is no real order to these, I’ll try and keep things in order of relevance. •There will be times when I'll reference something that involves things that would be more relevant after the 40 episodes. During these headcanons, I'll place a nice little ✨ to indicate that it is one of those headcanons. (Everything mentioned will have some sort of explanation if needed). Think of it as a sneak peek at the story I am working on. •I will NOT be talking about parental figures for Sleet. This is because those headcanons are very important to the story's plot I plan to write. •Thanks to these two characters being part of my fixation for literal YEARS, I have a lot more to talk about with them than any other character at the start of this project. I hope that the other posts will be more fleshed out as time goes on, especially the triplets, but I cannot guarantee anything. I have and will gravitate towards these two. •If I happen to update anything within this post, I’ll reblog it with the tag #Sonic Underground Project Update, along with a note on which information was updated.

·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ The Canine Duo ♫♪♩·.¸¸.·

❗An important, but rather heavy topic before we begin… I KNOW Sleet and Dingo’s relationship is crossing the line of toxic. Any episode that has Sleet being extra mean towards Dingo mentally HURT, as I suddenly relate to Dingo on a more personal note. I am not trying to act like the horrible behavior never happened. If I wanted to do that, I’d rewrite the whole series…and even then I’d still keep Sleet’s gradual neglect as it honestly feels like part of the character.

So, because of how heavy this particular topic is, and how much I am trying to write it being mended healthily in my story…I WILL be spoiling a bit more than I normally would. 

➣I strongly headcanon that the two were once practically inseparable growing up. They knew EVERYTHING about each other and were strongest when working together. Dingo doesn’t do everything for Sleet because Sleet holds authority over him, but rather Dingo loves helping Sleet out and loves seeing his smile. Sleet didn’t always transform Dingo without warning before Robotnik because he respected Dingo and valued their close bonds. Things just spiraled out of control too quickly, and both of them did not genuinely realize what was happening.  And by the time they did, the damage was done.

➣I plan to have the duo split up. For the good first half of the story, Sleet and Dingo are no longer a duo, as Dingo ends up joining the Resistance and Sleet refuses to do so himself. Dingo’s story revolves around him realizing that what Sleet had done to him was wrong. But, while he now surrounds himself with more positive relationships, it reminds him of the Sleet he grew up with. Sleet’s story is about him realizing the horrible things he had done. Not just towards Dingo, but towards everything and everyone. And is quickly overwhelmed with immense amounts of guilt. Because of his actions, he had lost EVERYTHING! And, by the time he does “join” the Resistance (Unofficially, mind you. And not spoiling how) he apologizes to Dingo and doesn’t expect Dingo, or anyone, to forgive him. But even still, he vows to fix himself. 

I want these two to be happy. So I may be doing the wrong thing by making them stay together by the end, but only after clear boundaries are made…and Sleet receives serious punishment for his actions. (He doesn’t get away scot-free, mind you) Not every character will forgive him. Even when he tries to be a better mobian. Because that is how life is.

But also…they have been through a lot. They weren’t expecting to be trapped in a contract with Robotnik like that. They couldn’t say no. (I bet they could say no to his initial invitation, too. They were screwed the moment Robotnik asked for them). They saw firsthand how Robotification worked. Saw and caused dozens of ruined lives. 

They knew they were playing with fire…which is why I hate how wishy-washy their characters were. 

But I’ll get into that whenever it comes up. Memory is still pretty bad and that is why I am doing this project. 

•♫•♬• Headcanons •♬•♫•.

➣Sleet and Dingo knew each other growing up. They have known each other since they were babies, due to being around the same age, and both living in Velcronia. However, they lived in separate parts of the big city. Dingo lived on the outskirts with his adoptive mothers, who were good friends with Sleet's father. And while technically Sleet and his father lived in a small village just outside of Velcronia, it still held the Velcronia name and government. (More information will be given in "Underground Masquerade") 

➣At a young age, the duo were separated from their families. (More information will be given in “Underground Masquerade”). 

➣Due to this, both don't remember when they were born and Sleet is starting to barely remember how old they are in general, feeling there were a lot more important matters to keep his attention on than how many years they had been living. ✨However, once they learn that the triplets were born the year Robotnik took over, Sleet figures out their age. By "Mobodoon," Sleet is about to turn 17. Dingo would become 18 about three months after the episode.

➣This means they were both alive before Robotnik took over Mobotroplis, but were extremely young to remember.

➣When they were young, Dingo's abilities to morph were starting to manifest, even if they were random and out of the canine's control. Sleet later receives the remote after a fateful encounter with a strange elder, giving him rather vague instructions on how to use it. With this new power, they became well known as some of the best Bounty Hunters in all of Robotroplis, both because of their young ages and due to the two not having any preference on which side of the war the job they would take would benefit.

➣Sleet has control over what Dingo transforms into. It requires Sleet to visualize what it is he wants to transform Dingo into in his head, which means using the remote without a clear image in his head would lead Dingo to turn back to normal or whatever image is closest inside Sleet’s thoughts. Pre-Underground, Sleet made it a habit to ask Dingo about what he felt like turning into, warning him if there could be a sudden transformation and constantly asking how he was feeling after Dingo morphed and when he was turned back. ✨This habit instantly reappears once Sleet “joins” the Resistance. However, this was with added hesitation on Sleet’s end on even using the remote in the first place as he knew it linked to trauma for Dingo. 

·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ Sleet ♫♪♩·.¸¸.·

It is no secret Sleet is my favorite Sonic character. Or, rather, the concept of Sleet. Which means I have A LOT to talk about with him. I will try to not go on forever about him, but but I am not promising anyone anything. 

I love how he acts like he’s the best thing since sliced bread, but in reality, he can be just as much an idiot as Dingo. He’ll act before thinking and, ironically, seems to be emotionally driven more than logically, which puts him into a lot of trouble.

…He also may have woken the furry in me when I first saw him all those years ago, waiting for school and seeing "The Deepest Fear" on Disney XD. He was a wolf with blue fur in a series I loved, what wasn’t there to like about him? (Except I believed he was the UGLIEST thing I’d seen. Even compared to Dingo. Poor guy). 

•♫•♬• Headcanons •♬•♫•.

➣Sleet was born in the Spring. (Sometime in mid April) Ironically, he also has allergies, which would flare up the worst during said season. (The allergies would only truly appear post-Underground, as there are few plants and flowers.) He does not like Bartleby's home for this reason.

➣While he is mainly dominant with his right hand, Sleet is ambidextrous. And, on this topic, Sleet has surprisingly good handwriting for a mobian who grew up on the streets. He does struggle a bit with diagrams and drawing pictures, though.

➣Sleet will often fidget his hands, even if he tries to hide it, as a form of stress relief. He had started wearing gloves to stop himself from doing any damage with his claws.

➣Sleet mumbles in his sleep, even sometimes making sentences. If he is tired enough, he could even have a full-on conversation in his sleep and not remember a single thing he says the next morning. 

➣On the topic of his mumbling, Sleet’ll mumble curse words under his breath when frustrated. For the longest time, Dingo didn’t like his foul language, so the wolf made it a habit of mumbling them in such a way that where his partner wouldn’t understand what he was saying… This didn’t work and Dingo heard right through him, but let Sleet continue mumbling it when Sleet caught Dingo cursing out a client for poor management. They both agree to never bring this story up again.

➣Though he HATES anyone finding out, Sleet knows how to sew, being the one who would fix both his and Dingo's outfits whenever it was needed. (I feel this is a common headcanon). ✨Due to Sleet being adamant that he'll "NEVER become a part of the Resistance," and ending up with a lot of "free time" once he escapes Robotnik and living within the base...he'll sometimes find himself casually sewing the damaged clothing or even stuffed toys that were collected and being prepared for Sanctuary, though he does this in complete secret. While he will NEVER admit to actually doing this, he uses the excuse that it is busy work to pass the time.

➣Sleet has a sensitive stomach (another headcanon I feel is common). Among other things, he is heavily lactose intolerant (or, as Dingo would say, "lacking toast and tall ants"), causing a nasty upset in his stomach if he has anything with milk. This includes cheese. (Serious time for a moment...this next part of the headcanon comes from personal experience). To make things worse for him, he has a bad habit of forgetting to eat and when he does remember, he'll either eat it so fast because he fears it will be taken away, or in small amounts due to fear of not having enough to afford the correct amount. ✨It takes him an exponentially long time to fix this particular problem. More than any other problem.

➣Nonetheless…Sleet gained an intense love for the sweeter foods Mobius had to offer thanks to working with Bartleby. He'll often accept going to fancy parties for the sole reason that he is given an excuse to eat the sweets there, even if it’ll upset his stomach. The only mobians who know his secret are Dingo and Bartleby. And he likes to keep it this way. (Spoiler alert. ✨More learn about his secret).

➣No matter how hard he attempts it, Sleet CANNOT COOK! His stubbornness gets the better of him, not willing to follow any cooking instructions, doing whatever he thinks is correct. He also grows impatient over waiting for food to cook and will try to speed up the process by making the temperature as hot as he is allowed, which almost always ends badly when he gets distracted just long enough for it to become a serious problem.

➣Sleet is in charge of the finances because he is better at mathematics. For the most part, he has been very good at keeping everything fair and balanced. This was agreed upon super early on. Long before they were hired by Robotnik.

➣Sleet is nearsighted, his vision blurring the farther away the subject is. And yet, he still drives with this terrible vision, as he has learned to identify the blurry figures. So well in fact that he genuinely believes this is how all mobians see.

❗Hey, warning again! We are getting back into those heavy topics! 

➣Sleet has a seriously hard time reading and understanding emotions, whether it be his or anyone else's. (Mood, buddy) He only gets worse when working with Robotnik as he rapidly crumbles into himself, unaware of how to express his anxieties and frustrations correctly. He doesn’t quite understand that the jokes and comments he’d make with and towards Dingo, once harmless, are now becoming more harmful the longer they worked with Robotnik. They have been getting worse due to his stress. (Note: This doesn’t excuse his harsher comments and jokes! They can and will have consequences!) 

➣HOWEVER…Sleet's attempts to remove Dingo from the picture... are complicated. Sleet has always dealt with his struggles and frustrations with removing them. Hedgehogs aren’t getting out of his way? Remove them. Is the Chaos Emerald stealing all of his thunder? Remove it. So, when he starts feeling frustrated over his confusing emotions over Dingo and his crush on Sonia, his instinctual reaction is to "remove the problem." (Huge PSA! This is...NOT ok! The answer shouldn’t instantly be “Remove the problem” when the problem is someone liking someone else!). This, mixed with him already having a hard time with his frustrations over working with Robotnik, the constant failures of attempting to catch the hedgehogs, and not realizing some of Dingo’s incompetent comments were attempts to lift their spirits, all boils into a horrible mess that caused serious damage to both of their mindsets.

➣Sleet is Demiromantic. Just so we are clear, he doesn’t start out having romantic feelings for Dingo! And I think I made it VERY clear they have things to sort out before they become a thing. Sleet’s feelings only fully come out after he “joins” the Resistance! (Slight spoilers I need to clear up). Only after they start mending their relationship does his feelings start to poke out.

➣His reaction to Dingo’s attention towards Sonia started as frustration over Dingo’s lack of focus on his work. Not to mention Dingo was swooning over their target. It quickly evolved into annoyance over Dingo bringing her up. He ended up linking his frustration and annoyance to the outbursts and neglect he dealt to Dingo. 

·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ Dingo ♫♪♩·.¸¸.·

I feel bad for Dingo. If he isn’t being ridiculed for his design being so…drastically different from 90% of the cast, he is remembered by being linked up with Sleet. Having the shorter end of the already short stick the two share for relevance. Not to mention the problematic plot point between him and Sonia, which inconsistently shows up in the show to begin with. I have…words to say about the ship, but I’ll hold that off for now. 

One thing I noticed when it involves Dingo is that people either see him as just an incompetent idiot who is stupid for the sake of stupid with no redeemable qualities, or, more often, just a soft-hearted fool who is just in the wrong place with the wrong people and is more innocent than the show lets on… To which I say BOTH ARE WRONG!

While Dingo isn’t smart, the show just makes him… inconsistently dumb. He has had moments where he shows to know what the hell he’s doing, and confident AND competent. And he isn’t an innocent soul who is being manipulated, either. He has been seen acting more of a villain than Sleet has any right to be. He tries to drown Raphi, need I remind you? 

He can be a soft-hearted character who has also done some pretty horrible things. He doesn’t have to be one or the other.

•♫•♬• Headcanons •♬•♫•.

➣Dingo was born in the Summer, (Sometime in June) but any information on the specific date or even who his parents are is completely unknown to him. He was found and later adopted by his mothers. They would celebrate his birthday on the day they found him instead. 

➣Transformation takes a lot out of Dingo energy-wise. The more detailed the image in Sleet’s head is, the more pressure it puts on Dingo while he is morphing. Even the more subtle things cause a lot of discomfort. ✨While he kept it secret during their time working with Robotnik, it was one of the first things Dingo admitted to Sleet once they reunited after Sleet “joined” the Resistance. The two set up a mental guideline on what Dingo felt comfortable transforming into shortly after.

➣Similarly to Sleet, Dingo knows how to sew. 

➣Dingo has a rather fast metabolism (I do believe this is a common headcanon). While he doesn’t know if it is because of his ability to transform or just his genetics, Dingo eats a lot. He’ll often eat what Sleet doesn’t finish, though he does try to get him to eat more for health reasons. 

➣On the topic of food, Dingo will eat just about anything. (excluding anything Sleet manages to make). He enjoys eating and grew interested in learning how to cook when he found out Bartleby was cooking on the regular. 

➣Dingo is in charge of communication due to his better understanding of emotions. For the most part, he did excellently in noticing clients who risked causing them problems. 

➣Dingo is farsighted and uses his glasses to help with mainly reading. It is not nearly as bad as Sleet’s nearsightedness, however.

➣Dingo knows how to read and write and do basic mathematics. The main problem was that he never had a teacher to teach him these things. ✨He starts to get private lessons with both Bartleby and Sonia and is a surprisingly quick learner.

➣Though neither remembers, Dingo encountered Sonia when they were both young. Dingo was in disguise and searching for a target and came across Sonia during a self-defense class one morning. Dingo was unintentionally kicked by Sonia   

➣Dingo is Panromantic.➣The crush on Sonia turned out to be admiration. While he did have some romantic feelings for her, it didn’t last as long as he had thought it did. It was also partly caused to him having met Sonia when they were children in passing once. While he doesn’t remember it was Sonia he encountered, he does have an emotional memory of the interaction.

Protean, Renegwe

"Fang of Nulzann" © Hex Entertainment, by Martin de Diego. Accessed at his deviantArt here

[My final original species of protean, this time embodying plate tectonics as a manifestation of change. I knew I wanted to do a continental drift-themed protean, and this was one of the first art pieces I found when embarking on this project. As a reminder, all of my protean species have a name that's an anagram. I'll be posting the solutions to those at the end of the week.]

Protean, Renegwe CR 19 CN Outsider (extraplanar) This massive creature appears like a snake with a humanoid torso, its body composed of black volcanic rock. A snort hood grows between its head and neck, and a pair of horns like bent stalagmites grows from its head. It shimmers with heat.

A renegwe is a protean devoted to some of the most dramatic changes in the cosmos—plate tectonics. Renegwes are the shepherds of whole continents, observing them move over the course of thousands or millions of years, and steering them if their whims dictate they speed up or slow down. Rather than the immediate thrills of transforming a person into an animal, or the destruction of killing enemies and overthrowing governments, renegwes prefer the gradual pleasures of growing mountains, eroding canyons and rock formation. That is not to say that they cannot be dramatic—a renegwe who grows bored with a landmass’ progress might start earthquakes with magic, or heat up a lava reservoir to re-activate a dormant volcano. 

Few renegwes care much about the short lives of humanoids directly, but may become territorial of particular mineral deposits and protect them from mining or other exploitation. They might also come into conflict with magical creatures that seek to stop or mitigate the destruction their earthquakes and volcanoes engender. A renegwe prefers to fight atop or within a solid surface—although they can fly, they feel much more comfortable when touching earth or stone. Renegwes spew lava from their mouths and can fire exploding boulders from their hands. They have relatively few spell-like abilities compared to other proteans, and prefer simple melee tactics to pitched battles at a distance. 

Renegwes are more common outside the Maelstrom than in it. They dwell mostly deep underground on planets of the Material Planes, or in places where the Planes of Earth and Fire overlap. From these magma-rich bastions, they may plot against the shaitans and efreeti—both of these genies types are lawful, and seek to impose order where the renegwes prefer chaos. Renegwes are natural allies of magma dragons, but these allegiances may be fractious and marked by power struggles. Few renegwes have much interest in the politics of the protean choirs, but may work for a given protean lord on a temporary basis when their interests overlap. The protean lord most sympathetic to the renegwes is Etna, herself a being of volcanic power.

Special Abilities Breath Weapon (Su) Any creature that takes damage from a renegwe’s breath weapon is coated in lava, taking 10d6 points of fire damage for the next 1d3 rounds (no save). Change Shape (Su) A renegwe can change shape at will, but does not gain the healing from changing shape as is typical for proteans. It can only assume the form of dragons or elementals with the earth or fire subtypes. Earth Mastery (Ex) When both a renegwe and its opponent are touching the ground, the renegwe gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls. Fiery Body (Ex) A renegwe’s body is blazing hot. It deals 2d6 points of fire damage with all of its natural attacks, and any creature striking it with a melee touch attack, natural weapon or unarmed strike takes 2d6 points of fire damage. Lava Bombs (Su) As a standard action, a renegwe can fire two lava bombs, one from each hand. Each lava bomb is treated as a ranged touch attack with a range of 200 feet and no range incremenent. A creature struck takes 4d6 points of bludgeoning damage and 2d6 fire, and then the lava bomb explodes, dealing 10d6 points of fire damage in a 40 foot radius (Reflex DC 29 half). If a creature is in the radius of both lava bombs, it makes a single save at a -4 penalty, and treats the fire damage as coming from a single source. A renegwe can use its lava bombs once every 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma based.

[badlydrawnmanic]

i have more shit and you can only have 30 images per post apparently (better than 10 anyway)

me and @tomaturtles both have skunk children ocs that like to cause problems on purpose. mine is basil and hers is named garin

i drew kingpin in some anime character outfit at the request of my friend but i forget what anime it's from or what the character's name was

snail

his favorite toy is his beeneebabe

i don't know. i feel like this was @tomaturtles' fault somehow

harvestman with a little tie and a wedding ring. i do not know if he is proposing or if he's the little boy who's supposed to give it to the guy at the altar but either way he's doing a great job

spinel

not sure why this is inverted or what she's holding. i don't think i wanna know

this file is just called "stupid"

i forget the context of this but the idea was that sonic is too small to see over the counter

there was a minecraft youtuber i was watching whose skin was an ocelot and for some reason he dug up an entire minecraft desert and covered every block in torches so i drew this. he never responded to me pensive emoji

them again

apparently i drew another thing for the psychonauts au but didn't put it in that folder. it's called "weird puppy" so i guess that says something

razor what are you doing to that wisp.

insert that one post where i'm crytyping about how i stole m&ms from my friend in 3rd grade

a bunch of my friends in a discord server made zeti characters because we get hit with a wave of appreciation for these weirdos every once in a while and it's fun to draw them together in one big group. this one includes their names which is cool. gonna tag everyone who's on tumblr...

zubrey @thegirlthatsketches zitrus and zastel by @pastelsketches64 ziny by @gaffyishereagain zayde by me zrake by @darkwingdumbas and zine by @kinslee-the-normal-human

more stuff from my paint folder under the cut with varying levels of explanation

my owlfolk rogue d&d character as a shitty little baby because baby birds look miserable and it's funny

shut up

a square full of bugs

weird arcade cabinet thing from a dream i had. i didn't draw it on here but it had sonic underground decals and stuff and as prizes it'd print off stickers and random screenshots from the show that'd come out that side thing. i don't know why but it had a trackball

i was doodling a bunch of critters for some reason. i think it was low-key inspired by @mossworm's art and in my head it was for some kind of critter collection game idea

i forget what this is about but i think it speaks for itself. despite being in the paint folder it was very clearly not drawn in paint

dinosaurs in love

again not a paint drawing but a manic i drew on drawception

tails lost in the sauce (a plant poofed a fuck ton of pollen right in his face and he is not having a good time)

i drew this while sleep deprived and proceeded to break down into a laughing fit. no i don't know what it is and it's called god.png

a miscellaneous character i have named gordy gatorman. he's gay and owns a bakery

the same doodle of my owlfolk rogue plus two more things (she hates everyone)

i don't have an explanation for this one i just thought the belt attached to scourge's coat was stupid (you know this is old because of my "colored lineart only" phase)

i think the original text for this was slightly nsfw but this is funnier actually

"hjpt ;leg.png"

one of my many interpretations of a human sonic, this one leaning more into "grumpy teenager" than anything else. i usually don't draw humans so this is surprisingly nice looking

there's 3 more panels to this but i just wanna acknowledge those sad lobsters in the dirty ass tank at the grocery store. they looked so sad and i always wanted to take them home

it me

me and my @kinslee-the-normal-human's oc. we used to rp a lot and they'd get into all sorts of bullshit with mr. tall echidna always being like i told you this would happen and being generally upset about it but his teeny tiny girlfriend could not care less. this time it was about vampires but he's just vibing

one of my ocs just kinda turns into fire when he goes super and i thought the idea of his clothes burning off was hilarious

hard to explain but my friend made an au where like every possible fusion of two characters that could exist did exist all at once in a weird little sci-fi society and we roleplayed it a ilttle bit. my main character for it was an amy/manic fusion named pippin and they had anxiety

in the background you can see salyut (he was actually made for this au as a shadow/biolizard fusion), maroon (a shadow/knuckles fusion), and... man i forget his name but he was a sonic/shadow fusion. the character in the second to last panel is a mephiles/tikal fusion who was part of the evil sci-fi government or whatever and she scared pippin a lot. i might repurpose pippin because they're very cute

@kinslee-the-normal-human told me that you can tell if someone is a furry based on how they draw dogs so i drew a dog and she said i was a furry based on how i drew the back legs. she was right but i don't get the test lmao

one of my ocs sort of got sucked into amy's family unit and he's in a sort of younger-ish sibling role to her (despite being older) and she makes him very happy and he loves her very much. they are friends :)

pov you are talking to razor on discord and he is happy to see you

this is called "scourge peep.png". i don't know why it's holding a knife

me and my friend drew pokemon from memory at a sleepover. i think from the different art styles you can tell which ones i drew nsjkdgs

i was playing the sims and made a version of gyro on it and he just kept getting abducted by aliens. i couldn't stop him

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

Bionicle mask ideas I came up with while on holiday (except the first one which I came up with beforehand but fleshed out while I was there)

Mask of Recording

Lets the user record whatever they are currently observing, which then gets stored in the mask and can be played back in the form of a projection.

If a being that can use masks puts on a Mask of Projection that has recordings currently stored on it, they can access those recordings.

The Great version can store up to five recordings, and any audiovisual modifications (e.g a Toa of Earth's natural night-vision; a Toa of Sonics' enhanced hearing; hallucinations/visions) are applied to the recording.

The Noble version can store a single recording, which is low-quality, has high amounts of rolling shutter, and lacks any audiovisual modifications.

Mask of Vision

An attempt at making the Vision Mask from VNOG work outside that game's mechanics.

Increases the resolution of the user's vision, letting them see distant objects more clearly.

The Noble version has half the effect of the Great version.

Mask of Chemistry

Lets the user combine substances to create new ones.

Has a built-in visor that can flip down to protect the user's eyes.

The Great version lets the user view every possible combination of any substances, whereas the Noble version only shows the outcome of the current ratio of whichever substances the user has access to.

Mask of Alternate Pathways

Highlights shortcuts, hidden passages etc. in the user's field of view.

Mask of Returning

Causes thrown objects to return to the user.

The Great version makes the objects automatically target whichever of the user's hands are currently free, whereas the Noble version just targets the user as a whole.

Mask of Excavation

Allows the wearer to pull up any underground object, provided it weighs less than twice what they could carry with their hands.

The Noble version only works with things that the wearer could carry normally.

Mask of Acceleration

If the user is piloting a vehicle, they can make it reach its top speed much faster.

The Noble version takes longer but otherwise does the same thing.

Mask of Distraction

The user can create small, noisy bursts of coloured light on surfaces, designed to distract other beings.

The Noble version can only create the visual or audio component, but not both.

Mask of Hallucination

The user can forcibly alter a target's audiovisual perception of reality, based around a"keyword" that the user thinks of when as activate it, along with the feelings that the target associates with that keyword (e.g if the mask was used on a Matoran with the keyword "Karzahni", they would see the world as resembling Karzahni (the island), their friends as post-modification Karzahnite Matoran, and their Turaga as somewhat resembling Karzahni (the being); inversely, if the keyword was "Artakha", they'd see the world as resembling Artakha (the island), their friends as ornately-armoured Artakhan workers, and their Turaga as somewhat resembling Artakha (the being).

Despite the intensity of the hallucinations, they can't physically affect the target, and the feel of an object wouldn't match up with how the target perceives it.

Considered immoral.

Mask of Many Souls

Stores the minds of other beings, who can then take control of the wearer's body if the wearer is willing to let them.

The Great version can store 48, while the Noble version can only store 12.

Mask of Hacking

Allows the user to hack into machinery and fully-inorganic beings by projecting their mind into the target's code-matrix, allowing them to physically interact with the code.

Lacks eyeholes, with the wearer's eyes being covered by a boxy "visor" that prevents them from being distracted while hacking (as they can still see).

The Great and Noble versions differ only in the amount of time that the hacking process lasts, with the Great version allowing the user to access the code for over an hour while the Noble version lasts about half of that.

Mask of Perspective

Lets the user adjust their field of view. That's it that's all it does.
