and! barbarian!fig! its her
#fantasy high#dimension 20#figueroth faeth#fh class quangle#if u look at the junior year design and think tifa lockhart: yeag#I already thought the cleric!gorgug junior year design kinda is very aerith so. lol#but! I do feel like these designs maybe portray the clearest arc out of all of them so far. I like that#some of it came from a bit of necessity which is really fun that mirrors the actual play format thats cool#(necessity being freshman year riz is pretty much a huge block of red flannel lmao. kinda stole figs canon color coding for a bit)#(and he's got the owlbear jacket from taping the games in sophomore year... so I cant give fig the big red blocking until#junior year lmao. coincidentally this forced me to be a bit more dynamic with her concept which is great)#her second pair of shoes very sonic tho. I kinda enjoy that lol#tbh I really love that canon gorgug is like in a pair of chucks 24/7 that is SO funny for a barbarian I hope to keep the energy going#with class swap fig I think a barbarian who wears like collector sneakers is awesome. the foot support is so important to their work#the general idea of a hyperfem girlypop barbarian still ticks for me tbh. idk enough abt the zeitgeist to know if thats passé now or not#but doing Fashion on ur job of bodily tearing ur opponent apart with the least flourish possible is just a hit for me#her knee brace is from like an injury back in her cheer days that she got by overexercising in hope of being good enough that#the team couldn't let her go. the team then used that same injury as a pretext to let her go#I think abt her arc tbh... fig's thing in canon junior year abt the point of her rebelling. I feel like a lot of it can also apply to rage#both knocking things over and holding onto things don't like. make anything new. destruction without at least a glimpse of a vision#of the after is ultimately a cynical defeatist point of view... strategic barbarianism for fig babeyy#yay! once again its time for me to Fucking Sleep. but hopefully I can hammer out a proper ref for riz and gorgug both in the#following week inbetween doing my job. its that time of da year lads (<- fully seasonal worker)

idk where people got the idea shadow is better/faster/more powerful than sonic anyways. like no he isnt??? obviously hes pretty close but its very obviously not a surpassing level.
#shadow#sonic#maybe archie sonic? but even then sonic is more thug than him#although theres not as much direct comparison as the games#but sa2 is partially canon anyways.#we dont know if archie sonic can chaos control in base form#but its highly likely he can. since scourge did so without being super too and hes not even from the same zone

when i watched the one about silver i could hear all 11 sonilver shippers on the planet wailing in agony in the distance
#i have mixed feelings on what they said about sonic and silver's relationship personally ..#like to be clear ive never really shipped them anyway so i dont have that sort of bias going on here#and im not against the idea of them being like brothers either i think that has the potential to be really cute#it just feels kinda random for them to say that in an official thing? even in something thats not really canon like twitter takeovers#because i cant think of a time in the games or comics where their relationship has really come off that way.#feels like they just made that up on the spot#(which its fine if they wanna make up random little character traits on the spot but . maybe dont approach relationships that way)#and i say this as someone who does interpret a few sets of characters who are technically just friends as being like sibilngs#but whatever. its not that big a deal To Me but i imagine a lot of sonilver fans are upset rn. which is fair .#but im less unhappy with the fact that its sonic and silver specifically#and more just generally dont like the idea official media assigning random familial relationships that didnt exist before#and dont really have a real basis for them or feel like a natural development of the characters' existing dynamic#idk just doesnt feel like a good idea to me

knuckles approaches the "deal 800 damage in 8 seconds" challenge. after multiple failed attempts, he stomps off, fuming. an hour later, he returns, strong, more skilled. after multiple failed tests, he storms off, fuming. stupid challenge!!!! shouldnt bother with it anyway, he doesnt even need to beat it, he can navigate without it!!
a couple of hours later, he scoffs as he sees sonic approach the challenge. sonic beats it first try. knuckles walks into the woods to scream
#not really spoilers since its just existing game mechanics#and this isnt like Canon this is just how my game turned out#sonic frontiers#knuckles#sonic#egg.txt#egg plays#sonicposting

You: I hate Sonic Prime because it's canon.
Me: Sonic Prime is canon???
You: Yep! It was confirmed to be canon and take place somewhere after Advance 3. That's crazy right?
Me: Super crazy, but if it bothers you so much you should just do what I do.
You: What's that?
Me: Anytime someone mentions that Prime is canon, acknowledge and then immediately forget about it.
You: What are you talking about? How could you just FORGET that? Aren't you a Sonic fan? Don't you know the rules? Sonic canon determines how we think of the characters, it constructs how they're presented both externally and internally. Insisting that Sonic Prime is canon is an insult to these characters and the world that Sega has worked so hard to build!
Me: Sonic Prime is canon???
#Literally anytime I see people arguing about how Prime is canon#Like... SO?#So what?#That means Ian Flynn gets to make a passing reference to the shatterverse in a game down the line#Like y'all who cares?#I'm sorry if you don't like Sonic characterization but I feel like people tend to get REALLY up in arms over stuff when its like...#What are the CONSEQUENCES of that?#Because if we're worried about character degradation I'm not seeing it#But also I love IDW so what do I know?#Sonic#Sonic Prime#Sonic Canon

I need to be more insane abt platonic relationships actually
#ramblings#always feels like there’s too much shipping in the sonic fandom. we should be more insane abt platonic relationships to compensate#especially platonic relationships that don't fit the norm#ones that aren't easily defineable by terms like 'friend' or 'family' or 'teammate' or stuff like that#or rivalries. this fandom absolutely loves its enemies/rivals to lovers (cough cough sonic and shadow cough)#but what about rivals to friends. rivals to friendly rivals? rivals to straight up enemies that fucking hate each other#the possibilities are endless and yet. we keep treading the same ground when it comes to character relationships#especially when romance is involved#idk we need to get more creative with how we portray character relationships in fanon#bc canon already has a lot of interesting dynamics going on y'all just don't explore them all that much#i could turn this into like an ask game or something. like send me two characters and i'll describe what their relationship is like#that could be fun. anyways

If ANYONE on here has a favorite obscure sonic game they want gifs/posts about, just ask. I will happily scrounge around the depths of the internet and do everything in my power to find the dustiest pieces of sonic knowledge
#its fun. its like if internet research was dumpster diving and youre actually finding cool information#sidenote: if you believe that the sonic & mario games are canon. you have to accept that silver and donkey kong are literally friends.#oh and also omega beat the shit out of donkey kong. i have a gif of that. i need to post it#and just! theres a lot of good character interaction that i feel like we are missing out on#text#i need a ''hey this is op rambling'' tag for this blog so ppl can filter it#rambles

may be a controversial opinion but does it matter whats "canon" or not. what even is canon. is it not enough for each media type to tell their own story with the characters without /having/ to keep consistency with the other stories going on
#wispy.txt#i think of it like. there are so many mario games. they're all canon in their own respective universes. i guess#like sonic prime sonic frontiers sonic idw they're all technically canon but i dont think they /have/ to share#the exact same timeline and events etc#i count sonic games as the ''main'' ''canon'' ''timeline'' everything else is whatever to me#idk if im making sense im so hungry rn and i cant stop thinking about the chicken i have marinating in the fridge rn#its going to be so scrum diddly umptious

Gonna use my refuses to acknowledge canon card
Prime is not canon to the mainline I refuse to believe it
#listen i know how annoying it is for people complaining about prime sonic#the thing for me is i like him as his own thing#separate from game sonic he can be pretty fun#but they are not the same person LOL#also why should prime be canon. let it do its own thing like all other sonic media!!!#i feel like it just unnecessarly complicates things#sonic prime#sonic#fetti talks#sonic posting

as a super duper occasional, casual, only-dips-my-toes-into-the-waters- type sonic 'mcu' enjoyer (who honestly completely neglected this fixation for a really long while), i genuinely did not realize how many people actually dislike the 3rd movie already. which, i totally get and respect the opinion, but at the same time also seems crazy to me lmao
#personal#sonic movies#RAMBLE IN THE TAGS#i thought we were all hyped for this#and then i opened tumblr and its a fucking warzone#<- /lh#i personally see movie adaptations as their own seperate entities and ignore them since theyre not canon anyway#so i honestly dont really care that its not a 1:1 translation of the game story and more like its own thing#this is sonic wachowski‘s story.. yall get me?#as long as the visuals are good and i can point at the screen every two seconds and laugh 'HAHA I GET THAT REFERENCE' i will be totally fine#and i like to see the actors having fun on this project#that being said#i wholeheartedly encourage criticism!!!!! esp directed to huge companies!!!!!!!#so its been interesting to read through some rambles on here. keep doing what youre doing#awesomesauce!#okay thats it for the tags

on one hand i think it should be mostly games with Actual intentional lgbt rep and themes being tagged as lgbt because tagging a bunch of random games as that makes it harder for people wanting representation to find what they're looking for. and ive also seen a lot of people who dont know how steam tags work spreading misinformation or getting their hopes up for nothing because of people tagging random games as lgbt . but on the other hand i think every new sonic game that comes out being tagged as lgbt on steam is hilarious . sonic lgbt icon forever
#for anyone who doenst know tags on steam are chosen by players#and tags on games that arent out yet are often put there as a joke and dont reflect the actual content of the game#so no sonadow isnt going to become canon because sonic x shadow generations is tagged as lgbtq#because sega didnt put that there. its just fans putting it there based on the title#which. the title isnt inherently a ship thing either lmao whenever sega puts 'x' between two names its meant to mean and or crossover#and doesnt inherently have romantic connotation. theyve done this sort of thing before#like yeah sonadow moment the title is funny people can joke about it i dont care#but i see so many people talk like theres no non-sonadow explanation for this and like. there is..?#you just cant turn your shipping brain off so youre ignoring it#Anyway. yeah of course its an lgbt game. it has sonic the hedgehog in it#yeah of course sonic frontiers is a gay game. look at every cutscene with sonic and knuckles in it

if sega makes tails adventure a classic exclusive thing i'm gonna cry. a lot/neg
#speedy posting#sth#tails adventure#text post#but like#tails adventure just makes tails a much more interesting character#like him being implied to be able to talk with flickies#or the origin of the sea fox#or the origin of the ecplosive mice in sonic battle#or fuck even his fear in general#he went through so much#all for being flushed down the drain#i really hope they dont go with the 'all classic games besides sonic 1 2 3 and cd are non canon' route#because its so lame#praying that they stay with the original jpn manual backstory where it happens before tails met sonic#and mecha sonic mk ii came back!#FUCK#FEELS THE RABBIT AND CYBER SINGER MIKA EXIST IN BOTH UNIVERSES#WE CAN HAVE MODERN SPEEDY#IF THEY ARENT FUCKING COWARDS#sorry for the rambling#had a not so great day lmao
