#black arms sonic

[cattyanon]

Now THIS is a question that got me thinking! The most obvious choice would be swapping Sonic with Shadow but like... A. Way too predictable and boring and B. The entire premise of the AU revolves around the fact that Eclipse doesn't want to forcefully make Shadow join his side in any way which is why he kidnapped Sonic.

So then who to swap with? My first thought was Tails but the more I thought on it the more I realized it wouldn't make sense. The entire point of kidnapping Sonic specifically was because he'd observed their relationship and deemed them close and therefore a perfect candidate to get Shadow on their side- not to mention he was powerful! It took a bit more thinking but eventually it hit me:

Rouge.

She meets the criteria. Close to Shadow? Check! Powerful in her own right? Check!

I might make a design for her (I make no promises) but I will say that instead of being infused with Cyzor's DNA she'd be infused with Rhygenta's DNA since the whole point of using Cyzor's DNA was that Eclipse thought it'd compliment Sonic's powers nicely.

Another small thought regarding her taking Sonic's place is that she'd actually probably last a bit longer against Eclipse's brainwashing- but this isn't really due to her having a stronger will or anything. In fact I'd say her and Sonic are pretty evenly matched in that regard! No, it's because she has more experience with the Black Arms and their mind tricks. She's fought them alongside Shadow and has witnessed them mind controlling him. She knows their game. But if someone like Sonic eventually gave in then it's only a matter of time before she'd befall the same fate, even if she does last longer.

And since I feel like I could add more to this concept, another thought I had was that Shadow might be even more devastated by Rouge being the one transformed than Sonic? Because while he and Sonic are closer than he'd ever admit, Rouge (and Omega) is more like family to him. Obviously no matter who it ended up being he'd be distraught by the fact they were used in order to get to him but having Rouge be the victim would probably hurt even more considering Shadow's trauma when it comes to losing family. PLUS in the non-swapped version Rouge is the main person who comforts Shadow once they find out about Sonic's transformation. It also helps that she has a better understanding of his feelings/knows him on a deeper level. Omega also tries to comfort him but um. You know. He's Omega. Comfort isn't really his thing. So that just makes things all the worse for Shadow in this swap version. :<

(saying this now bc i know i'll forget)

(Honestly I thought of a random Isekai situation where Stellar got sent to the AU where Sonic became a member of the Back Arms and... I doubt she'd handle it well)

Sonic AU collision propaganda~

Wuh oh! Two morally ambiguous dudes have been put in the same room! I sure hope nothing goes wrong!!!

Not exactly BIRTHDAY art, but instead, a humble offering (I meant to draw this gremlin anyways and this was the perfect time XD)

@estellardreams your Black Arms Sonic! LOVE the design, very fun to draw! He looks a little angry but I’m sure that’s nothing to worry about right? Yeahhhhh probably nothing. (No idea what I was doing with the background I’m sorry 😅)

Hope you’re having a good birthday!

[the-sky-queen]

Since Lily guessed that number 17 (Little Gremlins) was based off of Lilo and Stitch, I wanted to share some art I made for it a while back!

I plan on posting this one eventually. I just need to get the story a bit more ironed out first.

Spoilers under the cut. :3

Oh my. What on Earth happens to Sonic?

[theesensory0verlord]

some shadow and black doom doodles that will remain unfinished

but GOD i can’t describe how obsessed i am with the black arms and the colony ARK I COULD TALK ABOUT THEM FOR HOURRRRRSSSSS

[cattyanon]

Didn't see that we'd gotten questions til now- whoops! I'll get to the others soon. Anyways...

I'd say the most shocking event was after Shadow killed Eclipse and the Dark Arms. How exactly that occurs is still something I need to think on but what I do know is that Sonic is very aware of the fact Shadow had to do with their deaths and he is NOT happy which has it's very surprising consequences.

You see, Shadow made a bit of a miscalculation. Because of his previous experiences with the Black Arms (mostly with Eclipse) he assumes that at least to some degree Sonic is being mind controlled when he's not. Manipulated and brainwashed into viewing Eclipse and the Dark Arms as family? Yes. Actually being controlled and made to do things against his will? No.

So once Shadow has killed them he thinks that Sonic will come back to his senses. "You're free now." But this was never the case- and Sonic is distraught and heartbroken. Shadow just killed who he (currently) views as his family under the false pretense that he was being controlled by them and this breaks him. He is pissed and he wants Shadow dead.

Then comes the real shocker- something not even Sonic knew would happen! I'm still working on the design (I've mostly got it down but I'm still not 100% happy with it...) but he undergoes a transformation I call "DNA Burst" which is exactly what it sounds like. The Black + Dark Arms DNA in him rapidly mutates on the spot in response to Sonic's feelings and Chaos energy. It's painful and he isn't really sure what happened but he feels much more powerful. Much more capable of getting revenge on Shadow. And who is he to let this opportunity go to waste?

He doesn't end up succeeding but I'm sure you can imagine Shadow gets quite the beatdown.

For the creators,

What’s the most out of pocket thing in your au that has/will happen?

Whether it’s a very shocking event or just rlly funny

that time the au collided with another/j

like the other black arms, shadow has retractable claws with anticoagulant toxins in them. his saliva has the antitoxin.

Black Arms Sonic (Kidnapped Version) ya know, since I have multiple Black Arms Sonics...

Finally made a design for Sonic in the story I talked about in a reblog a few days ago!

Anyways here's some notes about him:

DNA was used from multiple kinds of Black Arms to give him the best combat prowess as possible.

Can't fly but can glide.

Doom's righthand and most elite soldier. He even gave him a piece of his jewelry to mark his high status!

Has gone through lots of brainwashing over the years he's spent with the Black Arms, causing him to be very loyal to them for all the wrong reasons.

The only thing he remembers at all from his old life (aka before the BA took him) is Tails. And it's only when he gets a good look at the fox that he even remembers him and their relationship as brothers.

It took a LOT to get him back onto the side of good after all the brainwashing he went through. Much to Tails' dismay they had to lock him up and everything...

They were able to get rid of a portion of the Black Arms DNA in him much to his displeasure at first. I'll probably draw this design later cause I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

Even after removing some of the alien DNA inside him he's barely able to stomach any non-meat food, although it's still an improvement over not being able to stomach it at all.

Has a few bad habits leftover from his time with the Black Arms.

There's a punchline here, i gotta find it.

That's it. that's the joke.
