Mission Report [12/27/20XX]
Brief: Nuclear activity has been detected in the ruins of research facility "Tartarus" indicating the presence of a working reactor. Investigate for possible asset retrieval and/or risk of the radioactive contamination spreading.
This is the 7th and 8th drones sent down. As per General ███████ of the Marine Corps, they will be the last for the foreseeable future if the drones end up mysteriously taken offline like all the others.
Fortunately, the Drone 8 managed to get clear footage of the unknown creature that's been taking the drones out (though, it was shut down not too long after by a sudden loss of its battery.)
It is theorized this creature is the escaped subject of Project ██████ once housed in the facility. It is unknown how it survived the explosion from 50 years ago.
Memo from General ███████ : "Change of plans. The higher-ups want that thing neutralized and captured alive--at all costs."
It's been so long. I'm so out of practice when it comes to painting!!

"Every Shatterspace contains a shard: creates a distorted version of our reality"
"If we bring them back here, and connect them to this real one— then maybe there is a chance..."
(Sonic Prime is not a multiverse story, it's one universe that got destroyed/distorted)
"They're not your real friends"
"Nine and all the rest of them are real!"
Sonic, you do understand that if reality gets restored, and the Shatterverse stops existing (because it wouldn't be shattered anymore), so would the shatterspaces, and everyone who lives there: everything would just go back to the way it was before.
But if you consider them real, you only have two choices:
Bring the shards together and restore your reality, bringing back your friends in the process, but the people created by the shattering of the Prism would go back to being just parts of your friends and seize to exist separately?
Or leave it be, and lose your friends forever, but their counterparts would still exist as their own entities?
So what would it be, Sonic?
Who has more right to exist?
#though I don't really feel like sonic had shown us that he considers the shatterverse counterparts separate people#even disregarding the way he acted in new yoke the first time (since it was the first time and he had no idea what's going on)#later he still expects nine to shrug off his issues the way tails did in the flashback#(and apparently always does since 'tails never gets upset')#he projects knuckles's personality traits onto dread — traits that dread doesn't have. sonic just expects him to because to him he's knux#idk man. there's a lot of examples in earlier episodes too. like him refusing to fight thorn because she's amy. but you could say#it was a long time ago and his attitude changed: well clearly not since he's still acting the same way at No Place#sonic prime#sonic prime spoilers#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#I know the palm tree plays into this somehow but idk how#and I want Sonic to actually struggle with this#not some 'untying people from the tracks before the trolley runs them over' type of bs. make it interesting!

I think my copy of the game is broken they've been doing this for 30 minutes
Crop of the Biolizard edit I did bc it makes me laugh:
#art#sonic the hedgehog#sonic#shadow the hedgehog#rouge the bat#their dynamic is so funny to me like hello what episode of Untucked is this#I am rotating them in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment in my mind#Also very proud of how this turned out I think I'm finally finding a comic rendering style that doesn't make me want to rip my hair out#Simplify baybee it's a comic not an illustration you can get a little crazy with it#Spoiler alert. Getting looser with lineart and better at colour schemes and simplifying shading. Is good actually.#It's so much easier to eyeball what a colour would look like in a setting instead of colourpicking the OG palette and struggling with...#...like 9 overlay and multiply and soft/hard light layers#Approximating colour genuinely looks better than forcing local colour into the piece. As long as the values are still there it works out#comic

having entirely too much fun with old outfit requests
#sonic#archie sonic#silver the hedgehog#scourge the hedgehog#elias acorn#sally acorn#amy rose#iratusmus.png#last art post for today i promise!!!#when i started out with silver i was like ''well okay i want this to be super chill and pump out a bunch of them really fast''#since when i do these things i tend to do them really relaxed at first and then i progressively put more and more effort into them#until theyre just full-fledged drawings. and then . well. i picked that complicated outfit for scourge#and it all went in a direction from there. as you can tell#either way doing a bunch of outfit requests at once is good for me because then im forced to spice up the poses a bit#also everybody say thank you to my beloved mutual jay un-pearable for introducing me to halftone hospital#unrelated but im actually incredibly happy with the way elias' hair turned out#since i struggled with it for like a millions years#anyways. if you want one of these send in a character and if i feel up to it ill put them in a funky outfit#or a stupid one. i have so many abysmally stupid outfits.

Hey so... I've been working on this again
#hey all#sorry I've been largely absent on this side blog for like a million years#some updates: I graduated college. That was cool :)#also I got really stuck with this story for a while#I didn't know where to take it or how to turn it into a cohesive story but didn't know why I was struggling#and I just recently realized the reason was because I had a bunch of B plots spinning around in my head#but I didn't have a real solid A plot for them to attach to!#BUT! my friend @punkinspice encouraged me and after some thinking#I'm actually formulating the A plot! :D#It's not done yet but its way more solid than what I had before and I'm super excited about it#It'll be a while before I'm ready to share more but I wanted you to know that things are in the works behind the scenes#I still love this story and want to form it into something solid#I can't wait for when I can share it with you :)#stay tuned!#triple threat sonic au#sonic au#sonic the hedgehog

Anon back again, what's the story to your organic metal au?
The last ask response has given me many questions, why does Metal seem nervous when Eggman greets him?
Eating up this AU, looking forward to whatever you're cooking
i mean theres a lot that has changed and a lot that i havent worked out but the basic idea was that metal somehow became organic (i have no idea how that happened xd) but because he's got no programming eggman cant force him to do his bidding and he rebels against him. He still wants to kill sonic. badly. but doesnt want to be eggmans lapdog anymore. most of this is just pure self idulgent stuff bc i want to put him in situations. a little bit of plot is in there
#i just kind of wanted some free will metal sonic#i kind of struggle with writing robots with free will#its all just tainted by programming i think and i thought it would be interesting to try writing him as a person with actual brain chemistr#lmao#ofc lets not take this too seriously its all just for fun#though i've been planning to reread the neo metal sonic parts in idw#and i wanna play heroes hihi#ALSO i just really wanted to make a design for him hehe#i made that one comic some time ago you can just search organic metal sonic on my blog and youll find it its like 3 pages#and it started with that bc i just saw that in my brain and it kinda went hard xd#(i say all of this softly and scared)#sorry im always very embarassed to share my aus ive been working on this for years TwT but im trying to free myself and be more self-#indulgent#okie bye hihi *hides*#i also know how this ends. 💀

I’m embarrassed by how invested I am in my own work… bruh
#Listen growing up I think the biggest thing I struggled with was making my own work#That I didn’t consistently abandon#My friends all made ocs for everything they liked and half the reason I ever did#Was just to join them rather than care explicitly about it myself#I have a few fandom ocs I’ve actually invested in as I’ve gotten older / revisited#My sonic and splatoon ones for instance#I’ve actually grown them and build backstories and personalities#But like these characters and scenario I’ve made has been consistently swirling in my brain for months.#The way it’s developed because I was THAT disappointed in smtv LOL#Bc my protag started out as what I wanted the Nahobino to look like#Over time became less and less attached until I finally pulled the plug and set it free as my own character#And I’ve loved him and developed him sooooo much more since I’ve done that#I just wish I was better at formulating all of this#Because I think it can only exist in the form of a game#A very specific looking game#With specific puzzles and camera angles and music#But I don’t know how to game#So it’ll probably be stuck in concept form forever#Unless Atlus wants to buy it LOL <- doubt#Anyways I’ll continue to develop it all. Get better at art so I can draw environments and scene mock-ups#I wish it was a real game T_T#Oh well#I’m glad some people are interested in my own journey#Exploring my own creativity#Pouring my own philosophies#Txt

I think it’s mostly because more than half the cast at this point is just a bunch of glorified vigilantes. Sonic just runs around stealing chilli dogs from closed stands at night, Amy is a member of the Restoration, Jewel runs the Restoration, the New Diamond Cutters are literally vigilantes, Eggman is a dick, Team Dark just kinda exists for when the plot demands it and they also have a track record of multiple war crimes on their belt, Vanilla and Cream live in a remote village where money is a foreign concept, and Silvaze ain’t even from here.
I could literally go on and on about how hilarious everyone’s situations are when it comes to money but I’ll refrain because then we’d be here all day lmao
its kinda funny that the chaotix are like the only characters who mention having to pay rent or buy food or whatever and theyll take any job that pays because theyre desperate for money but none of the other characters are struggling in this department at all even though most of them dont seem to have jobs. its like the concept of needing money to live exists for no one in the sonic universe EXCEPT for vector espio and charmy
#This isn’t poking fun at the original poster. Just thought it’d be funny to list why certain characters don’t need to pay their taxes lol#I also think it’s mostly due to the Chaotix living in a heavily populated city where capitalism rates skyrocket.#But that’s just me. Anywhizzle here have the previous tags because I think they’re amazing#sonic actively chooses to not have a house or a job or anything and hes fine ?#like he never seems to have any problems that are a direct result of this lifestyle. hes just chilling doing whatever he wants#tails has MULTIPLE houses/labs and doesnt seem to struggle to pay for them or anything. assuming he even has to pay for them at all#but vector is out here struggling to pay rent even though hes one of the only characters who we know actually has a job#do they just not demand money from tails because he helps save the world so often and is also 8 years old#do they just only target adults with this sort of thing. and thats why vector needs money so bad while no one else does .#and espio and charmy despite being minors have to bear the curse as well because they live with him#blog/ask stuff#funny haha

Snitches the cat and his favorite bat
I wrote up dpxdc fics based off of prompts I happened to see in the last day to add to the reading pile for anyone who didn't prep for the archive down time today.
EDIT
The idea for Danny as a cat came from @shycorvid, thank you so much for correcting me and letting me play in your sandbox!
Snitches the cat comes from @garbagewith-a-cherryontop (I think??? I couldn't find a definite first post!) but the fantastic linked post is the one with how I think Snitches the cat looks here.
Word count is 1053.
Tumblr reference
masterpost for my AO3 downtime fics
“Ugh- that's not- did we just summon a demon cat?”
“It's so messed up looking. Ew.”
Danny blinked and swayed on his feet. He'd had a tail a minute ago, speeding across the GZ to check in on Walker. There had been an unpleasant lurch in his stomach. And now he was on his feet. All four of them.
Wait, what?
“You fucked this up.”
His ears twitched at the sound of a slap. Danny swiveled towards the sound and then got distracted by the feeling of his ears swiveling back. Whaaaaat?
He looked down at his precious little feeties. They were adorable paws.
“Oh, you motherfuckers,” he said. It came out as a conversational yowl.
The humans looked at him from about ten feet away and five feet up. “Annoying…”
He was pretty sure they were high schoolers. There were five of them, two girls and three boys. They were all bigger than him. High schoolers were usually bigger than he was, but this was just ridiculous.
“Count yourself lucky, dimwits,” one of the older kids said. He took a step towards Danny. Danny pressed his ears flat against his head and hissed at the approach. “If you managed to sacrifice Patches to a demon, your Mom would straight up murder you.” He laughed when he said it, like anything about that was remotely funny.
Uh- what now?
Only now, Danny noticed a very distressed calico cat underneath a laundry basket on the other side of the room. There was a stack of textbooks weighing the basket down. A large rug had been rolled up and- he sneezed rapidly, eyes watering. Chalk! They'd drawn on the floor with chalk!
‘This is some incompetent summoning,’ Danny realized, way too late. ‘Did they- how did they turn me into a cat?’ He looked at his unfortunate brethren under the laundry basket. Her ears were flat against her skull and she looked scared.
He remembered the word “sacrifice” and his blood flushed hit with fury. They'd wanted him to eat her! They'd wanted something to eat miss Patches!
The teenagers froze and looked at him, aghast at the angry sounds that were coming out of his throat.
“Shut up!” One hissed. She took off her shoe and threw it at him. Danny dodged and then threw his head back to yowl even louder. Sonic attack! Aural damage, you big jerks!
“The neighbors are going to- make it shut up!”
Danny had to run, dashing over furniture and tearing his way across a crowded table to avoid being grabbed. He screamed the whole time, eager to alert whoever they were so afraid of. Someone should see!
The window burst in.
Danny stopped running, shocked. He hadn't actually expected-
Someone snatched him up from behind and smacked him on the face with a palm. His jaw exploded with pain. It cut off his yowling.
Stunned. He was still for a moment and then he struggled for his life. The grip on his ribs was way too tight-
He looked over at the sound of a sword being pulled from a sheath. Holy shit, that was bomb as hell. His eyes went wide at the sight of a heavily armored small child crouched on the windowsill. The boy's eyes were covered, but Danny could still see him look at Danny and the poor calico under the laundry basket. He sneered.
“Unhand the cat or lose your hands at the wrist, you wretch.”
Danny loved him.
The teenager dropped him. Danny caught himself with a stumble. He let out a sad mraow before he could stop himself.
Fight club baby was enraged. “What have you done to this animal?” He hopped down into the room, revealing he was at least a foot shorter than the smallest girl in the room.
Danny trotted to him and started winding around his ankles admiringly. What a good kid! He purred.
“I will be taking both of your cats with me. If you ever harm an animal again, it will be your head that is found in a chalk-”
“Robin.” A hugeass grown man squeezed himself through the window that the kid had broken. Danny craned his head up, up, up, to see him case the joint.
The older man radiated incredible judgment. “I see that you require education on animal welfare and demonic summoning. Go on, Robin.”
“That's my Mom's cat!” One of the teenagers protested. “You can't take her!”
Robin growled at her. Danny jumped in his skin at the sound.
“Then we shall return it to your Mother and her alone, when we explain what you've done.” Danny let murder baby scoop him up and purred at full volume. Hell yeah. He looked at the cowering teenagers with condescension.
“Not that fugly thing.”
Danny blinked. He ended up making an inquisitive mraow. Why was a finger being pointed at him? He was baby.
“That thing showed up, you can get rid of it. But Patches is Mom's cat, and you can't steal a cat because-”
“Batman can steal any cat!” Robin bit out, gathered up Patches, and jumped out the window with both cats in an expert grip.
That didn't sound right, but Danny just enjoyed the night air as a line pulled Robin up to where yet another masked vigilante was waiting, cackling himself to tears.
“Batman can steal any cat,” he wheezed. “Brilliant. Good detour, Robin. Can I hold one?” He held out his blue-striped palms expectantly.
He faltered when he saw Danny, visibly surprised.
Danny… was starting to feel bad. He curled into Robin, hurt. He wasn't ugly. Why did people keep reacting to him weird?
“No,” Robin said curtly. “You have damaged his pride, and Patches is still reeling from her shock.”
The man let out a sigh but let the topic go. “That's Patches, and this is…?”
Robin hesitated. “He is the Snitch.”
That unlocked cooing. “Snitches? Snitchy Snitch Sni- ow!”
Danny snapped at the hand that came way too close and he let out a warning growl. No baby talk!
Robin seemed very pleased. He rubbed behind Danny's ears. “Snitch… I suppose that Snitches will suffice. We are taking him home.”
“....Maybe, just for fun, we should take him to get treated for mange first!” The guy made jazz hands to go with his statement.
Robin and Danny both growled that time.

My take on a Sonadow fankid! She actually existed for a while now, but the trend gave me motivation to finally draw her!
Most sonadow fankids are purplish and tube-grown, so I decided to make her neither!
Background for the story under cut, in case it gets long!
So in this AU, stories from the more recent games happen when Sonic and Shadow are at most around 20 years old. Back then Sonic was rambunctious and reckless as we know him to be, and Shadow was a depressed, traumatized emo kid. While at first they were rivals as depicted in the games.
Over the years tho, just like their friends, the two matured. They started getting along a lot more, and became official friends, which eventually lead to dating. They both were afraid of getting serious though, so they took things slow and casual. Due to some of their unresolved issues, they couldn't get any closer. But not for much longer.
Some of it has been brought on by a Particular Event, and some of it due to restructuring how they go about saving the world, but things changed. As Forces has shown, putting so much responsibility on One Guy isn't wise. Sonic felt so quilty for failing, but it never should've been his job alone, so they created an organization, to share the load more evenly!
The org became global, with local groups of heroes being recruited all around, meaning that now the characters we know and love now had more time to take care of their personal lives.
While for some the change hasn't been much, Sonic, and to a lesser extent, Shadow, struggled quite a lot. Many of things happened in between, but eventually both of them grew to quite enjoy the domestic life.
They moved in together, and started taking things to the next level, now that both have done some healing and therapy. They found that they get along quite great. After a bit longer, they decided to start a family :)
Shadow came up with the name. He wanted to honor his sister's memory, but Mar-Mar was also a symbol of all his progress. He did go to therapy to make sure that he can handle them sharing a name, to see if it's a good idea, and well, it was!
She's now 4 and very loved, and her dads love each other very much as well. For a certain Sonic though, things won't go so great.
#sonic the hedgehog#sonadow#sonadow fankid#sonic oc#sth#sonic design#shadow the hedgehog#sonic#shadow#sonic au#my art#the art is kinda shitty bc i didnt wanna miss the train#feel free to ask any questions if ur curious abt any details this one is quite thought out#also they're married now :) they used matching earrings instead of wedding bands bc neither likes em#also i couldnt give less of a fuck about the shoes i Really wasnt in the mood so i halfassed it#gave up on shadow's completely ill design him new ones later#mar-mar the hedgehog
