#anti eggman

[shadowfreak98]

Dude, I am HELLA proud of these Anti designs! I spent WAY MORE than 5 days on these guys! I am SOOO happy with how they turned out!

[Keep in mind that the ideas are still kinda a work in progress, as the writing for my Sonic AU jumps to different places all the time... curse my ADHD brain]

Agent Henge - He is an Agent that works for GUN. He works closely with Dr. Kintobor to keep a close eye on both Rush the Hedgehog, and Professor Herald's "Ultimate Lifeform", Equinox.

He is a very polite, and kind individual. He speaks with great formality, and maintains a refined and proper demeanor, no matter his situation. He shows great compassion and respect for all Mobians he works with, especially Rush. [He also has a very obvious crush on a certain Doctor, and shows a fatherly-like care to Dr. Kintobor's creation, Terosan]

Dr. Kintobor - He is an eccentric, and extremely passionate scientist. His ultimate goal is to help better the entire world through the power of science and technology. He is the greatest mind of their time and has made many accomplishments throughout his life. However, he is far from perfect...

Kintobor, while his heart may be in the right place, tends to think very highly of himself and tends to think his philosophies, and morals can never be challenged and will often force his ideals upon others... the main one being Rush... this has driven a wedge between the two of them; as Rush used to look up to the Doctor... but something has caused Rush to become quite selfish [in the eyes of the Doctor that is...]

Molly Kintobor - She is the granddaughter of Professor Herald Kintobor. She was born and raised on the Space Colony XXX due to her unfavorable health conditions. Since birth, she was severely immunocompromised and was given to her Grandfather to be looked after. It was the safest place for her and her weak immune system, as she would be far away from Mobius' many contaminants.

Molly grew up on the Colony and developed a fascination for Astronomy as well as space exploration. After meeting the hospitable race of Black Arms, her dream of becoming the first human to go beyond the Milky Way to find far-off planets and discovering new extraterrestrial creatures blossomed.

What sucks about the Sonic franchise is that people only seem to like it when the franchise isn't being itself

Sonic Colors is liked by non Sonic Fans because it's kiddy and lighthearted and not dark and edgy like the 2000s games, which is considered cringe to them and the only time people "like" the 2000s games is when they're talking about those obnoxious Snapcube dubs which they's been spamming for 4 years now

New Fans also praise the current voice cast, which sucks because a majority them don't fit the characters

New Fans also praise how Ian Flynn writes the characters, which also sucks because Flynn's version of the characters don't act like the actual Sonic Characters, (Sonic considering himself as a hero, Tails being Jimmy Neutron, Amy chooses to keep her feelings for Sonic secret and having Tarot Cards be her whole personality, Shadow being an edgy dick, etc) but the New Fans keep insisting that the new versions are better

Also to this day, misconceptions about the franchise and 90s boomers who refuse to let go of the US Lore still persist:

His name is Eggman, not Robotnik

Sonic lives on Earth, not Mobius

Sonic is not obsessed with Chili Dogs

Amy is not a stalker

Sonic has never fucking said "Gotta Go Fast"

Shadow is not an edgelord

People thinking the cartoons and movies are canon

People thinking the Snapcube Dub is canon

Majority of the characters are teens (For some reason people think every Sonic character is a grown adult, even characters like Charmy and Tails)

Also a lot of people seem to forget that the franchise was niche/hated during the 2010s, people didn't give a flying fuck about Sonic and even if they did, they brought it up just to shit on it, it was especially worse when Forces and the Ugly Sonic design came out, everything about Sonic in the 2010s was mocking it, nonstop memes and people saying the franchise only works in 2D (What's worse is that Sonic Mania indirectly proved them right)/was never good, etc

Sonic hate is a lot less common nowadays due to the movies, (mocking Sonic 06 is still brought up to this day tho), however i feel like most of it is people pretending to like Sonic, majority of Sonic praise nowadays comes from the Movies or Frontiers's vocal tracks (because of Kellen Quinn), it also goes back to my previous point with people liking the mischaracterised versions of the characters better

The big two Sonic content coming out this year are Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic Movie 3, which has a lot of people hyped because of Shadow the Hedgehog, but it also goes back to my previous point of people pretending to like Sonic, Shadow was heavily disliked by critics and the general audience for being a "edgelord" and looking like a Deviantart OC, so why are people switching up now?

Also from a majority of reactions I've seen, they'll say shit like "Shadow has always been my favorite character" but they don't even know his backstory and when see Black Doom, Maria or Gerald, they go "Who is this!?" (Or make an obnoxious Snapcube joke), I've even seen people ask for Silver, who is a character who was more hated than Shadow and know less about, I doubt they even know he's from the future

All this shit makes me scared that by the time both of these come out, that I'm gonna have to gatekeep the fuck out of this franchise, which is something don't wanna have to do, I just wanna live in a world where the franchise isn't a laughing stock and people actually the franchise unironically

Someone's probably already done this

And they said they were doing "the right thing" and I said that's disgusting so I'm making a callout post on my tumblr.com, Guardian Units of Nations, you've all got small brains, they're the size of this walnut except way smaller. And guess what, here's what my brain looks like *explosion sfx.mp3*

That's right baby, all smarts, no fluff, no empty space. Look at that it looks like the brain of a genius

They fucked my life so guess what, I'm gonna fuck the earth. That's right this is what you get, MASS EXTINCTION BITCH!!

Saw a post saying that it wasn't the templars who fought to save the tower in the Broken Circle quest of DAO, it was the mages. Which, yes. It was Wynn, it was Niall, it was Surana or Amell if you're playing as a mage, it was even Owain who had the Litany in the first place. But no, for Greagoir, to save the tower all mages had to be killed. Hope some of the men he's left behind are still alive tho.

I'm so happy that I get the chance to rant again, because the subreddit just gives me so much inspiration <3

I don't really care about Carmilla. She was, at the end of the day, a villain from a kid's cartoon, who wanted to conquer the world because she was just so eeeevil, with only the barest of backstories to pretend she had good motivations. In fact, it's hilarious to me that when you think about it, the N!Isaac vs. Carmilla epic fight, one of the climaxes of this show that has touted itself on being so deep and nuanced, has all the emotional depth of an average Sonic vs. Eggman boss battle: the impossibly cool superhero wants to stop the nefarious supervillain and her world domination plans.

(no shade to Sonic and Eggman, who are far better written than those two assholes could ever hope to be. you know what I mean)

yeah yeah she became what she depised, after a whole season of sitting on her feminist ass lol and then randomly going insane at the last minute. peak writing, as per usual.

No, it's as usual Lenore who has my attention.

She's the most human of the sisters, they say. And they're right. She is a terrifyingly realistic depiction of an abuser.

She's not a cackling madwoman who only serves as a caricature, and she doesn't exist only for shallow representation like Striga and Morana who have no objectives or personalities outside of each other. Lenore may not want world domination like Carmilla, but she absolutely longs for power over other people. I went about it here, how once you read between the lines, Lenore only wants to feel powerful and important, and she's willing to steep as low as she can to get her way because she folds like a coward the moment she doesn't have the upper hand. While Carmilla would just beat people for shit and giggles because look at how Evil (but in a Cool way) she is, Lenore is genuinely convinced that everything she did, all of her physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse, it was all for a good cause, and she did nothing wrong, and anyway you were enjoying it too so what's the issue?

So yes, in this, she's human. She's a cruel, cunning, vile human like many women in the world who know that they can use their charm and take advantage of emotionally starved men to feel powerful, all while still painting themselves as cute and lovable. Her vampiric nature doesn't come into play until the very end, where she realizes (in theory) that she's nothing but a disgusting evil creature and she's doomed to always be so; but until then, you could write her as a human and little would change in her personality and the way she played with N!Hector.

And that's what makes her scary to me. Yes, Dracula and Carmilla are more dangerous on a wider scale, but we are much, much more likely to fall into the trap of one of the many Lenores around the world.

(I usually don't like making it all about gender, but Lenore's abuse of N!Hector is absolutely gendered. Her entire character revolves around what I can only call toxic femininity.)

And that's why the takes I see about her deadass trigger me, because what the fuck do you mean, she's the less cruel of the bunch????

I don't give a shit about the Lesbians, but at least they realized that what they were doing was wrong! Sure, their motivations were mainly self-centered because they didn't want to waste their existence fighting, but they also took pity on the humans they were meant to kill!

I just fought fucking farmers. Saw the fear in their eyes. Not fear of dying. Fear of not having fought. Fear of not saving their people.

It's more empathy than Lenore ever showed for N!Hector, with her filthy "you were having fun"!

"Found her strengths" yeah, instead of physically torturing N!Hector, she used manipulation, abuse, coercion, gaslighting and rape by deception to "solve his problem". Wow, such strengths, many power. And then the second things got worse for her she immediately decided to peace out of life rather than wait a few decades until N!Isaac died, sorry N!Hector if you grew to care about me but my own bratty feelings are more important. I'm sorry, I know it's in bad taste to paint suicide as the cowardly way, but it's what the story did!

The Lenore apologism creeps me out more than anything else. I can stand the Carmilla stans who think she's so cool and badass and #grrlpower. I'm annoyed but resigned to the N!Isaac stans who believe he's the most complex character of all time and forgot about all the petty murders he commited. I'm baffled by the N!Dracula stans who genuinely believe he had the right to start a mass slaughter because some peasants didn't take him seriously enough. But this rhetoric that Lenore is the least evil of the sisters, that she was ultimately a poor broken woman who only did what she thought was the right thing, terrifies me. She's a realistic, human female abuser... and just like many female abusers, her crimes get brushed off because she's cute, because she looked sad enough, because women who sexually dominate men are inherently hot. And I know that fiction is not reality and you can enjoy villains without being a bad person, but the arguments the stans use, not to paint Lenore as cool like Carmilla but to actually downplay her very realistic crimes, just hit too close to home for me.

I just wish that "human" didn't become shorthand for "good deep down", because it's not true. Sometimes a "human" villain is far more evil than a villain so shallow they don't quite feel real.

[crusherthedoctor]

how are the IDW villains better than Eggman if they need his resources?

A reasonable question, but one that I don't think the writers have an answer to.

For comparison's sake, this is like if Classmate A openly declared themself smarter than Classmate B because they blatantly copied Classmate B's answers. Except we're supposed to take it completely seriously.

Villains who exist just to one-up Eggman are lame as it is. Villains who exist just to one-up Eggman and wouldn't even be a threat on their own if it weren't for Eggman is a whole new migraine. (And I don't wanna hear that "it's Starline's fatal flaw" flim-flam, since even after his death, the comic still insists on painting him as the bigger villain due to the presence of the equally ineffectual Surge and Kit.)

[multicolour-ink]

Time to upset the entire Sonic fandom by proclaiming that I think Shadow the Hedgehog is an overrated character.

[carnation-damnation]

The designs I came up for metal scourge and dr. ivo! Metal has speakers and has a synthesized robot voice like miku ...........
