#also I know people are saying they'll be actual eggs that have already existed but that feels like

[ahlaway]

okay but I think the eggs could be a good way to get the teams talking again. like. I reaaaaally want to think none of them want to kill eggs with the risk that they're real eggs. also it'd be really funny if they left with +3 eggs somehow.

i caved. i made shit in the lead sketchbook. according to the lead warnings it's probably alright if i touch it as long as i don't start chewing on it or something (gonna have to restrain from eating sketchbook paper). I'm just gonna start washing my hands alot

if i make weird shit that's weird even for my taste, i'm just gonna blame it on lead poisoning

I mentioned zebramen have bubbles to depict love instead of hearts, and mentioned that there was a creature that existed with tandem with this: here it is! bubble worms, these photosynthetic "tube worm" things that took to the land and brought with them a fascinating way to do broadcast spawn.

They make a kajillion bubbles whose liquid is essentially their "semen" for both their eggs and sperm, and just send those suckers out into the air. If bubbles meet up in the air, perfect, but if not, they'll probably meet up on the ground once they pop, or if the rain comes and washes everything together. Bubble worms are kind of like reeds where they can be found on the sides of bodies of water and they might even have a mobile, carnivorous larval stage where they swim/crawl around and settle in a good spot?

Either way, their bubbles have kind of become a symbol of love and romance with Zebramen the same way flowers are for us. I don't know why this idea came to me, there's not really any real reason for it, but I'd like to say it's because of the inherent giddiness of being around bubbles lmao.

There's a god of love in zebraman mythology that's pretty much "zebraman cupid" with the exact same premise as him, too. Instead of arrows, it's bubbles he makes from his mouth, and if one gets on you, or you pop it, you'll fall in love. His bubbles specifically are a deep blue, and there's a bubble worm that makes deep blue bubbles, too, and it's believed that worm has the same effect. Some modern reinterpretations say that it only has an effect on you when you're already in love, and if you pop it, it'll give you the courage to confess, and... cmon that's adorable :>

There's also a subset of zebramen "lovemakers" who, among other things, have a flask of soapy liquid that they'll blow on a couple, often to save their marriage. Does it work? Don't even worry about that, that'll be [70 units of zebraman currency] :)

music men from a place in my head. i can't tell you about this au but enjoy music man with a gun

There's also this old OC of mine: Redwood. I've never posted about him, but I made him for the JSAB fandom 4 years ago and he's really been on the mind recently, after I reworked him.

He's a fusion. He's a fusion gone evil.

Fusions in his world don't work like SU fusions where two people work together to inhabit the same body - fusions work by two people making up a completely independent individual. Their body parts coalesce and they become a whole new thing like some fear and hunger shit. They can unfuse, and fusions are much more different than having a kid (fully grown, still retaining both minds to some degree, if the parts are a couple, then the fusion is romantically interested in their parts), but they have their own personality, and unfusing is the decision of the fusion, not the individuals.

I would like to note that fusions are also not a reflection of the individuals: Redwood isn't evil because his parts - Jon and Anthony - are an abusive couple or that they're individually evil, it's actually quite the opposite. If they were, then Redwood would probably just be depressed and super weak and not all mentally there, super unstable and always unfusing. The issue is that they're too good for eachother.

They're literally so good to eachother that their fusion is... ultra-stable. It's actually hard for Redwood to conciously unfuse. Which Redwood has taken as a sign to stay as himself... among other things. Fusions can retain the minds of their parts, but fusions don't live in the minds of their parts - they outright disappear from existance once they unfuse. Redwood has the existential crisis of depending on his parts to secure his existance and has decided to go about it very maliciously.

Anthony is burning alive, constantly! He has a void in his chest which essentially worked like a pocket dimension, and that void has been lit ablaze in some awful accident. He's burning all the time and can't put the fire out, he's actively dying and what's been keeping him alive is periodically fusing into Redwood, who can take the burn. So what Redwood's doing is just actively kill Anthony - If Anthony's dying even more than he already is, Redwood becomes more of a necessity to keep him alive, until Redwood needs to stay as himself all the time.

Redwood has made his motives really apparent to Jon and Anthony, and there's nothing they can even really do about it since they even accidentally fuse when given the chance. so they just have the possibility of their evil frankenstein creation just yoinking them out of existance looming over them at all times. it's gay frankenstein

bonus: redwood isn't red, he's actually extremely blue

finally: fritzes, the first thing i drew in here as i was grappling with the possibility of lead poisoning

How does one get into sonic prime, I mean I adore where they're going for the story but I'm still struggling to get through s1 because the voice are just not clicking with me. Don't get me wrong here props to the Canadian VA's and the crew as a whole but the fact that I don't really vibe well with the chaos council as a concept [since they aren't really as menacing as the actual egg but I get what they're going for..... kinda.... ] This is like the one sonic media I can't personally click into, and I honest to God adored Underground/Boom so it's probably just a me-squick....

I have literally been a sonic fan since birth reading the comics so it's just tonal whiplash trying to get used to it- I'm lost in my own confusion that they already produced 3 seasons @_@;;; I just feel like I'm alone in feeling this or something idk I'm just merely screaming into the sonic-fandom wondering if anyone else felt this way hsbshbsshv ////

I'm just as clueless as you on that unfortunately lol. Respectfully I'm not a fan personally, I think the ideas had potential to be interesting if done right but I just don't find the execution appealing. I hate to say it and don't wanna be overly negative but I was honestly bored watching the first eight episodes, they were hard to get through and it was a bit of a letdown for me.

It feels underwhelming and repetitive because practically the same cycle of events happens each episode and it's not very interesting at that. I haven't watched any episodes past those, I watched nothing but the Eggman prismatic titan thing in the last batch and don't plan on watching the rest. I just decided it wasn't for me, not what I'm looking for in a Sonic show.

I'm sad I didn't end up liking it after being interested in where they could take it, especially with how much potential I feel New Yoke City had because it was conceptually right up my alley but execution is just not to my tastes and I've accepted it. I shouldn't be surprised as I'm not into most of the non game media ^^; I was just hoping for a modern show like X again

If they had more regular Eggman they could've changed my opinion a lot not gonna lie because the small 5 mins of him was great. Characterization was good, he was funny, his model and animation were gorgeous, voice was okayyy just needed some improvements, and I was interested in what he would've done with the prism had Sonic not shattered it and erased him from existence. When he practically died my interest went along with it sorry dhfjsbfksbfks

The Chaos Council just don't interest me personally because each are missing all the parts of Eggman combined that make him his lovable whole to me. And when you just want the real deal to still have his place like he seemed he was going to initially in the concept art, only for him to not be there at all, it's hard to get into it when you're thinking about what could've been. Also yeah they're just not menacing and don't bring the same exciting world shattering chaos and action the real deal does

And oh no they're really still only on the first season, eight episodes isn't a season. Netflix is just being weird about how they have it realized in batches and how it separates them but no way is eight episodes a whole season. They only had the first season made and released with huge gaps but maybe they'll order for a second one to be made.

But yeah you're not alone. It's very popular and I'm glad people can enjoy it but yeah it didn't click with me either and I can relate on feeling like the odd one out. But that makes two of us! and I do know others who just don't like it either and I don't think we should feel a pressure to try to get into it, if we don't like it and it's just not for us then it's fine
