Flowers in Bloom Masterpost!!

making this for @sonic-au-collision but shh pretend it was all planned

ao3 link

description: A hanahaki disease au focused on the romantic relationship between Amy and Blaze, but other characters are involved too! Hanahaki is very common in the Sol Dimension, so Blaze isn't surprised when the flowers take root in her lungs. Amy on the other hand… well, she's still having a great time. Mutual pining, slow burn, and useless lesbians/sapphics galore!

everything related to FoB will be tagged as #flowersinbloom!!

This is Part 6 of a comprehensive list of all the current Story Arcs in Sonic Cyber Revolution, along with a short description of the events that occur in that Arc, as well as listing the specific Sonic characters introduced in that Arc.

The Neo Genesis Arc

The Neo Genesis Arc marks a brief return to the slice of life stories, finally establishing Sonadow as one of the main ships of the story, followed up by Silvaze when Team Neos visits the Surya Empire to help Sana, Blaze and Marine fight against pirates. The story eventually culminates in a confrontation between Sonic and Neo Metal Sonic, as the latter searches for a meaning in his life outside his counterpart's shadow. It is an adaptation of the Sonic Rush games, as well as Sonic Heroes.

This Arc marks the first appearance of Marine the Raccoon, Captain Whisker and his pirate crew, as well as the appearance of this world's version of the Sol Emeralds. This Arc also marks the introduction of Neo Metal Sonic.

The Imposter Syndrome Arc

The Imposter Syndrome Arc follows up on Sonic's defeat at the hands of Neo Metal Sonic, focusing on Team Dark, Team Chaotix, Knuckles and Lily as they investigate a storage facility that deals in trading Eggman technology, as well as establishing Knuxouge as another major ship in the story. At the same time, Dr. Starline returns with his own creations - Surge and Kit, who end up confronting Sonic and Tails in an attempt to establish their own identities outside of their impostor status. The aftermath of this confrontation results in them meeting Amy and Minami, with Surgeamy becoming another major ship. This Arc serves as an adaptation of The Imposter Syndrome Arc from the IDW Sonic comics.

This Arc marks the first appearance of Surge the Tenrec and Kitsunami ''Kit'' the Fennec, who are determined to forge their own path outside of Starline's influence.

[Image ID: Two images, each with two designs, top and bottom, for a Sonic fan character. The character is a short, rotund older woman, with ash grey hair and pale skin. Her name is Evy Munanev, aka Dr. Rotbane.

In the first set, her hair is pulled into a braided beehive. The top design has her in a tight green tailcoat with pink sleeves, a flared pink mantle around her shoulders, and a pink sash around her waist. She also wears green gloves and boots and black pants. A silver broach, in the dagger-like shape of the titan arum flower, sits at her chest. A white gas mask hides her face.

In the bottom design, she wears a shorter coat, white in front and black in the back. She has flared, almost petal-shaped sleeves and pants, both pink. A similarly petal-shaped pink mantle frames her head. A large green flower broach sits on her chest. She still wears green gloves and shoes, but the shoes are smaller, not high-heeled boots like before. She no longer has a gas mask, but instead a pair of black glasses.

In the second set, Evy's hair is now died pink and cut in a triple mohawk. She also green vine tattoos patterning her skin. The top design has her wearing an open green vest over a loose pink dress. On top of the vest she has black shoulder pads with white, thorn-like spikes. Similarly spiked black bands surround her wrists and ankles, as well as crossing her waist like bandolier belts. She wears green gloves and boots; the boots have spiked bottoms, like cleats.

In the bottom design, the gas mask has been swapped for black glasses, revealing the green vine tattoos on her face. She retains the vest and spiked shoulder pads, but the dress has been swapped out for a baggy black shirt over flared pink sleeves and pants. She still wears green, spiked shoes, but they are no longer heeled boots. /end ID]

When creating my Blaze-focused Sonic Prime AU (more on that in a bit), I took the time to finally take a swing at a design for the Sol Dimension Egg(wo)man I've been contemplating for a while now. I've always been annoyed we've never gotten any female Sol Dimension villains, even though by all rights there should be an abundance of them. Sonic and Tails each get female counterparts with unique designs, personalities, and relationship dynamics, but when it comes to Eggman we get... a palette swap? who isn't even actually from the Sol Dimension?? hello???

I'm still working out her design and personality, but these are some of the concepts I've drawn up so far. the points I am settled on are that she's a rotund older woman with plant-theming. her birth name is Evy Munanev; her villain title is either Dr. Rotbane or Dr. Rotbloom, I haven't decided.

more on the design process below

so. Solegg. my first order of business was swapping out the Egg for something different but adjacent. I picked a seed, which ended up being more of a general plant-theming. I think it could make a nice counterpoint to Eggman's primarily animal-themed robots.

I specifically modeled her after the corpse flower - or rather, corpse flowers, since apparently there are two notable flowers called that, the titan arum and the giant padma. Both are found in Indonesia, fittingly enough, since that's usually the real-world analog I draw on for Blaze's homeland. The top design in the first image is based on the titan arum, while the design at the bottom is based on the giant padma.

for the other elements of her design, I tried matching it to Blaze the same way Eggman's design matches Sonic's. Like how Eggman's primary color is one of Sonic's secondaries (red), Rotbane's primary color comes from Blaze's pink secondaries. Black is her secondary color, same as Eggman, because y'know. Villains.

Finally, the name. As far as Eggman's "real" name goes, the -nik suffix is Slavic/Russian, while Robotnik in particular is a Slavic (specifically Polish) term. apparently. his first name, Ivo, is used in a lot of languages, but if cross-referencing with his relatives, Gerald and Maria, narrows it down to German or Dutch. that said, according to the Sonic wiki the name "Ivo" actually came from a developer's sister's Croatin boyfriend, so. that's a thing. the other factors in the name selection were that it sounds kinda like "evil", as well as being the Latin word for eggs spelled backward.

All that said! I made the Solegg Dutch because of the Indonesia connection. I went with the Dutch name Evy because it also sounds like evil, plus bears some resemblance to ivy. I gave her the last name Munanev, which is venenum (Latin for poison or venom) backwards.

finally, I picked Rotbane as her nickname because it sounds cool, reflects the plant-theming, and has some of the same punchiness as Eggman. I'm also considering Rotbloom, haven't decided yet.

[Image ID: Four black-and-white sketches of Evy Munanev, the OC described above. In the top left Evy in her mohawk-design leans to the side, hips thrust forward and grinning. In the bottom left Evy stands next to an unimpressed (and considerably taller) Eggman, grinning as she strikes a pose. In the bottom right, Evy stands next to Blaze, who is only a little shorter. Evy grins at Blaze while Blaze glares at her, arms folded. Evy's hair is poofier and squarer, like a sleeker beehive. In the top right, Evy has the same square hairdo, but now wears her gas mask as well. /end ID]

[sonadowwiki]

This makes me remember when pucca [original in japan] it was clear that garu had a thing for her and they already are dating [like one short when they kissed behind a umbrella or when garu gives puca a ring or flowers] but he is not as clingy as pucca.

But when america put their hands on pucca, they make pucca much more clingy and garu feeling unconfortable and even despise some touch from her when in the original pucca garu was like more shy than unconfortable. Even in the america seried they make garu try to make pucca fall in love with another man so he can finally be in peace, when in the original pucca (japan) is more open about his feelings for her and doesnt deny his love for her, even if she is so clingy.

I am saying this because this is literally what is happening with the sonic franchise. The american company changed many personality trails of many of the characters of sonic and sonic himself that many plot holes are in the stories and games. Is like they dont make research for how the characters and world works and just put their guesses into them, not realizing how many plot problems will lead. (Like in IDW comics in how in the hell blaze can bring her sol esmerals into sonics world when basically the plot of sonics rush is that the chaos esmerals and the son esmerals cant exits in a same universe)

I dont know, but the though of that makes me felt unconfortablr

From some slight research, since I have not seen the show myself, this show is from South Korea, not Japan. Also with brief researching, it seems that even if this character, Garu, kissed Pucca, it was for the purpose of restoring her memory and there was no clear announcement that he likes her back, just speculations people can make from this scene happening or from him trying to be considerate for her feelings sometimes. It seems that there is no clear indication of the two liking each other, especially since Garu tries to escape Pucca's romantic advances when he can. But, I don't know anything of the series, so I can't make a judgement on whether what you're saying is correct or not. Either way, the general concept is the same if it is like you're saying.

It is true that since Western influence become more involved with the series, things have gone more haywire within the series. Many plot holes appear, like the one you brought up. Other plot holes have also happened, like the characterizations of characters or plot points that make no sense. This is happening on both the English and Japanese side of things because the Japanese get influenced by the English's mindset on things. This shouldn't be a problem within the company because they should be going to their executives for direction, but these employees who are just putting in whatever they want without doing the research to things, are not doing that for things to be consistent and made with quality. It is an issue and it's understandable if it makes one feel uncomfortable or weird because of how ridiculous it is. This is not an issue for other game companies who have employees who do what their job entails and listens to their superiors, so this behavior is quite outrageous. They're not supposed to be doing whatever they think they can do or listen to the fans' every whims. That's not how a company works and this company doesn't belong to them to do whatever they wish with it. And when they do whatever they wish, it creates issues like this in the lore and stories that ends up lowering the quality of the games/medias significantly.

These issues aren't due to the company, they're due to specific arrogant employees who think they know better. If they listened to their superiors, then Sonic games would be on the same quality as other SEGA titles, such as Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Unicorn Overlord, Persona 3 Reload and now Metaphor: ReFantazio. These are all games from SEGA that have done well in some manner and are across two different branches in SEGA. If these games are doing well and have quality to them after listening to the direction of the company for the product, then what is the issue with the Sonic branch? Why isn't the mascot for the company on the same quality as these games? And the answer to that is as I've said. It's due to these employees who think they know better despite researching nothing and who try to implement things like fan interpretation or personal desires instead of listening to the direction of the company for the series that belongs to the company, not them or the fans. They act as if they own the series and that they or the fans know better, but that is not true. The series doesn't belong to these employees, it belongs to the company and the company should be the ones to decide how things go in the series, not these employees. I'm sure that if the employees listened to the company's direction like the other branches did for their games, the Sonic branch would be in a much better state than it is now with less plot holes or other confusing inconsistencies. It's quite a mess they've created from being like this and doing all of these things with the series. Because of their actions, now there are things that make no sense and have no explanations.

[marinaiguess]

just thought of blaze’s world not having any fire lillies. sonic, having visited the sol dimension a couple times, he notices he cant find that flower anywhere (he goes for flower hunting once in a while, especially when exploring new areas). he asks marine if she knows where they grow but marine’s response is “fire lilles? mate, have you been drinking?” so uh, he realizes they are not a thing there. and the thought of that makes him wanna laugh but he immediately thinks of blaze the ‘pyrokinetic’ cat and how she’s never seen a fire lily. so he goes back to his world and spends a whole day looking for the biggest field of fire lillies (lets just pretend there are places like these in sonic’s world). so, he prompts blaze to travel to his world, saying he has a surprise for her. little does she know that she will be surrounded by these orange flowers that remind her of something but doesnt know exactly what. the field is beautiful and it feels safe, as if it is home. she moves slowly, making sure to take in every detail of this view, bending down to smell the flowers. 

then she mentions she’s never seen a flower like that before and sonic laughs. “I know. That’s why I brought you here.” 

Blaze is confused but smiles nonetheless, enchanted by Sonic’s smile and how his fur is illuminated by the sunset, as if he’s on fire. She doesn’t question why or how. “What are they called?” 

Sonic brings a hand that was previously hidden behind his back in front of her, holding one of the many flowers that are adorning the field. “Fire lillies.” He winks. 

Blaze takes more than a few seconds to process this and double this time to get ahold of the flower. It reminded her of her own flames. Only Sonic could take something as destructive as her flames and compare it to something as beautiful as this flower. She feels her face heating up ever so slightly, so she quickly takes the flower and turns to face the sunset without saying anything else. 

Sonic looks at her with the softest smile on his face. “Yeah, they’re very pretty. Reminded me of you.” He mimcks her pose and watches as the sun falls. “This sunset,” he whistles, “haven’t seen one this bright in a long time.”

The change of discussion does not make their hearts beat any slower.

Background: The timid sungazer who helped Sonic defeat Eggman, Fang, and the Black Dragon. After the events, things have been a bit peaceful at home for a bit. Then one day, a strange brown amphibian creature (Goober the Clodsire) cam out of a dimensional rift and gave her a flier to a flower shop before waddling back into the portal, Trip following soon after.

Upon meeting everyone at the flower shop and understanding that they were part of a group who are trying to protect the multiverse, Trip decided she would help. She would come and visit whenever she had the time and fight against the villains on Slur's team, or when things are calm, help out with the Flower Shop.

Trip was amazed of all the dimensional variants she has met of people she knew in her own world. There was a Sonic who is not only older than the one she knew, but is apparently a prince and wields a key-shaped sword. Then there was Mr. Tinker, who is Dr. Eggman, but turned good. Trip remembered how she once wanted Eggman, as well as Fang, to like her and be more friendly towards her, and now a different Eggman is actually being so kind to her.

Speaking of Fang, upon meeting Gantz (Guntz), she's reminded of Fang, only this one is nicer. He can still be a jerk sometimes, but he was far nicer than Fang will ever be, and she appreciated that.

Being a shy girl herself, Trip formed a special bond with Elise (From Gunvolt), who was also cripplingly shy until Luna helped her become braver and more confident.

Being reminded of Lilac and Milla rolled into one, being a sweet girl while also being something of a dragon, Torque also formed a bond with Trip while telling her stories of his adventure with Lilac, Carol, and Milla. These stories help inspire Trip to become even braver.

Since Prince Sonic carries the Chaos Emeralds with him similar to how Blaze carries the Sol Emeralds, Trip can rely on her Super Form whenever she needs it. Although, she tries not to rely on the Golden Dragon form all the time and tries to improve her own strength with the of her new friends as well as the friends she has back home like Amy.

Speaking of Amy, she's completely mortified that someone like Rosy the Rascal (@fallen-symphony) exists. She's like a twisted version of her best friend that utterly terrifies her. She's also a bit sympathetic of Scourge who has to deal with her everyday.

Trip may not be here all the time, but when she can be, she's a big help to the team.

SONIC AU COLLISION: ROUND 1

click to see full image

Heart of Chaos belongs to @hyper-cryptic [link to masterpost]

Flowers In Bloom belongs to @emioliravioli [link to masterpost]

Explore each world below the cut!

Heart of Chaos:

Heart of Chaos AU is formed around a prophecy made by Tikal, one about a hero that can balance peace and chaos, who will be accompanied by an equidna warrior that will treat them like kin. This au idea is based on the super sonic mural :]

Of this prophecy comes out Sonic, later renamed to Spikes, years later after Tikal's wish. The Master Emerald itself taking the form of a new life, a being of chaos energy and flesh. Spikes is "born" in a hidden chao garden in Angel Island, and is taken care of by Tikal's spirit, as she is connected to Spikes, but so is Chaos. Later, around when Spikes is 4yr, she entraps herself with Chaos in the chao garden's pond so that Chaos possibly create a doomsday even using Spikes' body. The pond becomes frozen solid where not even the hottest summers can melt it.

Once Knuckles and Spikes meet, when he is around 10 years old, this kickstarts the journey back to Angel Island, which gets rudely interrupted by Eggman releasing Chaos, and SA1 events happen. This is where Tikal and Spikes get reunited once again and she tells both Spikes and Knuckles in-depth about the prophecy and the war. She informs them the great danger that Spikes and everyone in Mobius is: if Spikes' chaos energy were to become unbalanced, it would corrupt itself, the chaos emeralds and everything in it's path, causing the destruction of Mobius itself as it would transform Spikes into an almost unrecognizable version of himself: Dark Spikes.

This is where I start jumping around the timeline and doing my own fun stuff with this concept.

Three important arcs in Heart of Chaos are SA2, Sonic 06, ShTH and particularly Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Forces. :>

Flowers In Bloom:

A hanahaki disease au focused on the romantic relationship between Amy and Blaze, but other characters are involved too! Hanahaki is very common in the Sol Dimension, so Blaze isn't surprised when the flowers take root in her lungs. Amy on the other hand... well, she's still having a great time. Mutual pining, slow burn, and useless lesbians/sapphics galore!
