In a very important home life update: we got a high vis vest for one of our chickens

They apparently have a great unintended use of stopping hens from getting bullied, so we got one to try it out since the above hen gets excessively picked on by the others (we don't really know why).

Shout put to the wonderful @gingervivilou who told me about it!!

Got any headcanons for if Amy gets possessed by ghost(Sonic’s Scream Test shows that she can be possessed by ghosts and, considering her latent psychic abilities, could possibly be a medium as well)while hanging out with Shadow?

The episode mentioned in this ask is from Sonic X. It has wonderful, not at all terrifying imagery like this:

Cool. Good. At least we get to see her chase down Chris with her hammer:

The real tragedy of the episode, of course, is that she missed.

In terms of combat, the ghosts didn’t do anything special with her abilities. They stuck to basic hammer attacks. They’d personally seen her use it already, so I don’t think they’d necessarily have innate knowledge of her skills. I can’t see Amy defeating Shadow without using her trickier abilities--countering his Chaos Control with her invisibility, for example--so I doubt he’d have trouble disabling her. So long as he could do so without hurting her, I don’t think he’d have the typical hesitation most heroes do when it comes to fighting mind-controlled friends.

Possession could also be taken in a more emotional direction, though, like he could speak to Maria, Gerald, etc. through her. I’m not 100% sure she could do that specifically. Amy being possessed in that Sonic X scene wasn’t necessarily something only she could do; it seemed more likely to me that the ghosts just wanted to pit the heroes against one another, and they picked Amy because she’s more of a threat than Chris is. I don’t think it necessarily means she could seek out ghosts herself for communication, though it's possible considering her skillset.

As for her actually communicating with the dead, I can understand why some fans would love to see him get that kind of closure, but...idk. It kinda rubs me the wrong way. As sad as it sounds, I think Shadow’s character is strengthened by the fact that Maria’s never coming back. It’s the same reason I don’t ever name OCs Maria: bringing her back in any capacity weakens the narrative. Her contribution IMO is as an ideal, not so much as a person. I don’t know whether Amy would be comfortable doing that, but I’d rather not see it.

I do like the idea of her having similar abilities like astral projection - I mention that she can do so in this headcanon to access her hammerspace - or mentally sending messages from a distance. Some of us hypothesized that it might happen in Sonic Frontiers. It would’ve been cool. I’d love to see her psychic abilities expanded upon in a more direct way rather than just a vague sixth sense for finding hedgehogs, predictions, and invisibility, none of which she does often. They’d be super useful, but she just...doesn’t. When’s the last time we saw her sensing anyone’s presence? It’s presented as cleverness and tracking skills in IDW...

...but it used to less tangible. From one psychic to another in Sonic 06:

Both are cool, but her psychic powers feel retconned. My feelings about that are...complicated.

I hope that answers your question!

Today I went for a walk and found SURPRISE CHICKENS

Also this, which made me cackle

(touches ground) Something terrible happened here

Question: How do you think Nimue came into being(in the Sonic universe, considering that she most likely would have been given a backstory)?

I have one idea (and only one, unfortunately), but it's very tied into Avalon Series lore and I don't know if it would be considered spoilers...

Ah well. Hopefully this makes sense.

When Chaos first discovered and claimed the plot of land that would one day become King Arthur's kingdom, the water god settled there for a while (making a waterlogged hole in the ground in the process) to make sure it had everything it needed to house life and be prosperous. However, Chaos couldn't stay there forever. As people began to populate the realm, Chaos created a guardian in their image and placed her in what would soon be known as Misty Lake... the exact place where Chaos resides as the land was growing under their care.

Chaos left to help or hurt other parts of the land while Nimue became the heart of the kingdom. She developed all her understandings on her own; unfortunately, Chaos never did return to explain her origins to her. Perhaps there is a reason for that...

But yeah. Ancient Minor Lake Deity Nimue.

Can you imagine what Rusty Rose must have gone through to become a robot? Like, literally having her identity(“Amy”) removed and replaced(“Rusty Rose)?

Also, I love that Doctor Don’t just does NOT seem interested at all in anything. Though I found it weird that they dyed his bangs blue instead of one of Eggman’s signature colors.

Like that is serious backstory for her to go through in this dimension. I know we're going to eventually find out but WHAT HAPPENED? Was she forced to do it? Was it her own decision? If it was, why did she do it exactly? How long was she like this for since the only thing not robotized was part of her face.....so many questions to think about until Thursday....

Dr. Don't probably liked the teal color better than red, yellow and black and he is just a teen who wants people to get the f*ck out of his room so he can play Minecraft in peace.

slept in? lodged in a cereal box? lost on a treasure hunt? holding the door open for too many people? trapped at the DMV?

regardless of what held him up for a couple years, chiggin is back!!

where do you think hes been all this time?

[fruitsofhell]

Oooooh! Please, please expand on the “Amy is an Eggman robot AU”! Oh! What if she’s UNAWARE that she’s one of his robots?

Hm, the idea of her being unaware is weird cause I feel like Eggman is way too proud to not let one of his own creations know who their master is, same with the mission maybe not going right if he didn't instruct her before hand. It would be kinda funny in post though, of her very obviously being this cute pink murder machine and everyone but her seems to notice that but they're still nice and accepting anywaysfdshgj. Could also make some interesting angst of her having to coming to terms with that, she might even assume that's why Sonic doesn't want to be with her or something... very fun idea but just not what I was going for.

The idea was that Amy and Metal were designed as twin bots, just with Amy looking far more realistic in order to sell the con, I guess kinda like Breezie from AoSTH (my beloved) but less Like That. I'm not sure if Sonic was aware during the events of CD that she was a robot, it'd be cute if he saved her anyways but IDK if he would realistically want to take that risk of an Eggman robot walking around. So for now I like the gag that he didn't realize till later, and by then Amy had proven herself to be her own person he could trust. Maybe like in that ending cutscene of CD it's actually her that blows up Eggman trying to escape instead of Sonic lol.

After that she'd be like her usual self except people are probably slightly offput by her being a robot before realizing she's chill. Like I said it'd be funny if she acts like it's some big secret of her's but to most it's kinda obvious. Maybe in her voice, maybe in her mannerisms, maybe in the way her joints clearly 360 sometimes fhdsgjsd. Tails and Sonic are the only ones she shares this "secret" with and Tails is probably very happy to help her with upgrades, specifically with when she wanted to make sure she still didn't look like a kid as everyone grew up. Also kinda imagine her wanting to wear bigger frillier clothing to hide any possibly seems in her body, but that's me self-indulgently wanting to put little blorbos in cute outfits lol.

I guess this au would also make her obsession with Sonic both from inspiration and a funny mix of programming seeing as he still was once her target, but with Tails' help they could probably break that, and she can be obssessed with Sonic for purely her own reasons <3. This background also makes a lot of her interactions more interesting. Her sympathizing with Gamma, convincing Shadow to fight for what he really believes in, dealing with her funny evil brother's failed attempt at taking over the world... stuff like that. I think it also makes it cute that later she's seen as the heart and mediator of the group, probably from studying up on stuff about organic folk. Maybe I could bring back her tarot card stuff too as something she finds interesting because her robo brain knows its 1000% illogical, I love stuff like that with robot/non-human characters. There's also that flicky companion she has in Sonic Prime, maybe that could've been the flicky that was powering her that got set free and replaced with a less cruel power source.

Her interactions with Tails and Metal are something I'd wanna see, but I don't have big plans for this or anything myself so honestly feel free to steal my ideas, I'd read someone elses interpretation of it.
