#eggman and shadow were also invited...

[peachybunana]

finally, the good ending

VOLUME WARNING!!!!!!

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

rewatching sonic twittok takeover #7 and there were some fucking GEMS of moments in here that i just kinda forgot about so recap

the boys were being SUCH boys in this one. making fart jokes and getting knuckles to hit himself was SO funny

shadow says his favorite flowers are lantanas

knuckles says she wants to see a version of sonic with laser eyes. nobody tell him about fleetway

tails "i hope there's a sonic that's my best friend <3 oH WAIT <3 THAT'S YOU!!! :D"

knuckles's answer to "what's under your gloves" is "what are you, a cop?" he implies this question is invasive

tails describes his own fur as "yellow-orange"

in the "sonic's dream" question, it's implied that sonic is a lil bit needy for attention. also knuckles mentioned he had a dream that the master emerald was talking to him

eggman has seen the incredibles

knuckles also made a ref to "so you're saying there's a chance" which implies he might've seen dumb and dumber. it's also a jim carrey reference

the team makes fun of knuckles for having a crush on rouge (whether or not he actually has a crush or if they're just annoying him on purpose is never stated, but tails did say knuckles bought her daisies. which is funny bc where the hell did knuckles get that money. tails also says he knows bc "he's a gossip")

knuckles refers to himself as "knuckles echidna", which probably wasn't an intentional reference to satam/underground sonic being "sonic hedgehog" but i appreciated it

knuckles once found shadow standing and staring silently at the trees of luminous forest and immediately, without question, started standing there staring with him

tails tries to suck up to razer gaming computers' official account which is really cute

tails gets dizzy during spin-dashing. amy used to but got used to it. sonic was really surprised to hear this

IF WE ALL DON'T REMEMBER THE TAILS "FEAR OF THUNDER" QUESTION WHAT EVEN ARE WE. tails homeless canon

tails says he admires eggman's work ethic and that made eggman emotional bc he doesn't get complimented much

when asked what eggman's fursona would be, amy suggested a fox or a wolf, sonic suggested a sloth or a baby flicky, which made me think of that one @neurotypical-sonic post

knuckles immediately tells a knuckles fan that he's a "terrible role-model" and he shouldn't have fans. then says of his personality: "everything sucks."

amy calls her fortune cards a hyperfixation, which implies that she's canonically neurodivergent

knuckles tries to steal amy's fortune card that has the master emerald on it

amy confirms that her bracelets aren't inhibitor rings which is funny cause that's like, an old 2020 post of mine lmao

amy claims shadow had fun at the hot honey concert and then asks sonic if he was jealous. sonic then proceeded to say that he's great company at a concert. amy invites everyone to a concert and knuckles says he wants to be in the mosh pit. tails says he wants to practice his line dance

when asked how he feels about shadow, tails calls him a misunderstood tragic hero and immediately points out that he's lost someone close to him and been "grappling with that for years."

HYSTERICAL moment when someone asks for rings and knuckles immediately punches sonic and steals his rings

eggman can't even remember starline's name. like bro you killed him

when asked about winter activities, knuckles likes snowball fights, sonic likes snowboarding, amy likes holiday decorating (and is one of the bitches who starts November 1), eggman says seasonal depression gives him great ideas, and tails didn't say anyth

sonic likes trains and supporting public transportation

sonic says he loves sleeping. eggman's been trying "intermittent sleep" which isnt going well

"would you guys like sonic if he was a worm" amy and tails say they would, knuckles says he wouldn't. sonic then quips that amy is a lil scared of bugs

vanilla apparently is constantly inviting the entire sonic squad for dinner. they seem to go over regularly

eggman eats paint

knuckles isn't allowed on the internet without supervision since the "incident."

amy and tails want to be more independent, knuckles wants to be less so.

"if you could swap roles with someone for an entire day, who would you choose" tails wanted eggman in order to get a hold with his tech

"is it painful to give knuckles a fist bump or a handshake" yes

eggman did indeed dissolve GUN during forces

it's implied tails knows what five nights at freddy's is. sonic freddy fazbear will be AT the fridge

sonic liked fighting fang and the end (which he referred to as a narcissistic planet), tails liked fighting chaos cause he "came into his own" during that game, amy says neo metal sonic gave her a headache, and knuckles says he has fought a lot of ghosts

eggman's goggles are for wind protection and style

tails's tails don't get tangled bc he's careful

trip has still been on the northstar islands this whole time. girl really looked out at the planet broken into shards and said "not my fucking problem"

[kingprinceleo]

HI IM TRYING TO LOOK THROGUN ALL THE JIDS AND SILHOUETTE IS SO CUTE IVE BEEN SENDING STUFF OF HER TO MY FRIEND AND WERE SCREAMING ABOUT HER NWUSWNS SHES SO FUN I LOVE HER ??? WHATS GOIN ON IN YOUR AU IT LOOKS RLLY INTERESTING

EEEEE THANK UUUUUUU shes just a baby <33 zinnia is super cute too !!

uh!! cw its a horror au- but as far as ive posted theres really only been body horror and light discussion of major character death off screen, bc its a future au, but heads up anyway ! i just redid the summary for artfight (still need to update it in my pinned)-

500 years into the future, Miles finds himself at the mysterious kingdom of Solar Sanctum, ruled by the long absent King Shadow. Shadow invites Miles to stay as a collaboration of great minds to try and solve the murky state their world has fallen into. It isnt long before Miles starts to realize Shadow is no longer the man he remembers, and starts to get tangled up in his web of madness.

Shadow-A total recluse in his castle, no one has seen him outside in decades. Hes spent countless years lost in work and trying to find a solution to the worlds problems, and its beginning to take their toll. He might be a little obsessed with dead people. Just a bit. He also hasnt showered in like a year...

Miles (no longer goes by Tails)-Your average straightman who gets to be victim number one to everything Shadow gets up to. He was having a nice time with Shadow at first ! But then the horrors. Outside of this, he resides coastally, taking care of Cosmos new form as a mother tree, allowing many new generations of seedrians to rise from their near extinction. He is a major lead in technological development, though a lot of his tech still takes inspiration from the long deceased Eggman.

Silhouette- An unwanted bioengineering experiment of Shadow's. He refuses to acknowledge her existence for years, left to the care of Miles (short term) and Shadow's right hand woman, Valentine (long term). His expectations for her as the child of the ultimate lifeform are suffocating. She gets everything she's ever wanted from him, except love.

Valentine-Valentine is Shadows right hand woman and Head Guard. She takes up a lot of his work when hes buried in his personal studies. She doesnt often see him in person, despite being raised in the castle. She believes in her kings glory and has never considered anything hes done wrong, until the outsider Miles starts to question her judgement. She has a lot of love to give to the world once she starts exploring outside of the castle. She raises Silo like her own daughter.

Hello I was wondering if you have any sonuxadow (hope I spelt that right) headcannons I love your art style by the way

i do! and thank you so much i really appreciate it!

Sonknuxadow headcanons

The three of them wear matching gold jewelry to keep close to each other, Shadow and Sonic both have their right ears pierced with two earrings, and Knuckles has the gold bands on his spines because he lacks visible ears. They do all have promise rings as well, but they're not typically worn due to none of them wanting to break such a sentimental item.

Sonic flirts with both of them constantly during battles against Eggman, he thinks it's funny. On multiple occasions this has led to Eggman forfeiting because he really doesn't want to hear it.

Their favorite nap spot is on top of the Master Emerald.

They seem to spar far more frequently than before the three of them were dating, often using it as a competition to see who can be the least worn out at the end of each session. It's almost always Knuckles, but Sonic seems to be really proud whenever he actually manages to stun the echidna. Shadow always looks the most well kept after, no matter how long it goes on, and the other two will immediately gang up on him for the sole purpose of messing up his quills. They're all very competitive.

The teasing and bickering also became far more frequent, except now instead of ending up with someone being physically hurt (usually Sonic) it now ends in them laughing due to them starting to truly understand what's off limits when it comes to each of their personal lives. 

Knuckles and Shadow are both trying their hardest to help Sonic get over his fear of water, giving him gentle kisses and holding his hands as soon as they see him getting even slightly nervous. They haven't gotten him to try full on swimming, but he's gotten okay enough in the water to go waist deep while he's with them. He still prefers to stay as far away from it as possible.

Knuckles had found the two, on multiple occasions, sneaking onto Angel Island just to play with the vast population of Chao. He finds it cute.

All three of them are known to ramble for hours about their interests, and they're always purposely asking about specifics so the rambler can go into heavier detail about it. They all love listening to their partner talk about topics that they know nothing about, they just want to hear their voice and like seeing them so passionate.

Knuckles seems to leave his island a little more often since he'd started dating them, along with using his communicator a lot more because he grew attached very quickly than anyone expected him to.

Sonic and Knuckles both help Shadow mourn the date of Maria's death and celebrate her birthday every year, Shadow secretly thinks she really would have liked them.

Shadow and Sonic started dating first, and they were only dating for two weeks before they decided someone was missing and immediately got ready and raced to Angel Island to be the first one to ask him out. Yes they did bring gifts of chocolate and flowers and stuffed animals, they had no idea what they were doing.

Speaking of stuffed animals, that's like their go to gift for all of them. Shadow has a collection of various cat plushies which eventually led to Sonic and Knuckles getting him a real cat for his birthday. Sonic has various sea creatures, and Knuckles has forest creatures. They also all have a plush of the other. None of them are the best at gift giving, Sonic often forgets he needed to.

Shadow and Sonic help Knuckles with his chores around the island, they practically live with him as their relationship goes on. They were never really invited to stay, but Knuckles loves them too much to kick them off unless they're becoming genuinely destructive or too much to handle.

Shadow does both of their makeup, the three of them all like feeling pretty so it usually ends up with all of them dressing up in feminine or masculine clothes depending on how they're feeling that day.

I feel like I need to give exe an actual name, because I worry that my au might be confused by another exe, plus im tired of saying exe for short of sonic.exe. So I’m currently planning to make a new name, unless y’all have suggestions:) (if y’all like reading than I am giving lots of lore for you)

Anyways I’ll give y’all the information about my version of exe

Lore so far:

How he was created is the same story, sonic finds strange thing, gets possessed, ect. But there was actually 8 people apart of the incident:

Eggman(dead), tails[WRATH], knuckles[SLOTH], Amy[LUST], rouge[GREED], sally[GLUTTONY], cream[ENVY], and shadow[PRIDE]. But due to the stress of everything, eggman has unfortunately died from the stress in the future. Leaving only 7 left.

If I haven’t mentioned it before, exe was indeed defeated when they were younger, leaving Sonic seemingly alive, and normal, it was until sonic reached 25-24 when they realized that exe wasn’t defeated, but weakened to the point that exe had no choice but to fuse with sonic, one body. But two souls…. So technically.. they are one, Being in this world.

But right after exes “defeat”. Sonic went into an enraged, and insane state. Causing to hurt and harass the fox, miles prower. Or popularly known as tails.

Due to illegally harassing a minor, and being too insane for society. Sonic was dragged into the newest insane asylum in central city. And will be let out until he was sane enough.

This is the photo of what he looks like While in the insane asylum (the drawing was when around 2023 so it’s VERY. old, infact this drawing is actually from a different but discarded au I made! The drawing is still cannon tho:))

Luckily after many. Many years of this. Sonic was let out at the age of 19. Leaving greenhill To live with mighty, who rented an apartment for sonic, himself and ray.

Sonic stayed there until the age of 25, where he was invited by Amy. To visit greenhill. One. Last time, just to stay for a year. Which is when the comic will start out. (If you want information about the other 7, you can ask me in the Q/A. Or just comment on any of my posts and I will answer!) now. If you came this far, which I am impressed! I will like to show you sonic, and exes abilities!

Exe’s abilities: teleportation, shaft shifting , body manipulation (like duplicating arms, blade for hand, distorting body y’know), hypnosis, and illusions.

In his final form (that im sill thinking of) has a lot more abilities than this but this is just his first form I’m showing you.

Sonic also has a few of exes abilities: body manipulation, elastic parts, teleportation

Although he still can be terrifying without them.

And that’s it for now! Thanks for letting me yap!

History of Silver the Hedgehog canon appearances (Japanese Translated Edition)

Sonic 06

Silver the Hedgehog debuted in a game that is an epic story about the city of water, the Principality of Soleanna, and the “Flames of Disaster”! His ESP action of moving and stopping objects was fresh and new, with an unprecedented sense of control.

Sonic Rivals

Sonic Rivals 2

Sonic Colors (DS)

Sonic Generations

A commemorative game for Sonic’s 20th anniversary, in which the two Sonics can relive famous scenes and stages from the past! Many characters from the series make appearances. Silver mistook Sonic for a fake who came to steal the Chaos Emeralds…?

Sonic Forces prequel comic

A prequel comic to the Sonic Forces storyline! Suddenly, Knuckles and Silver wander into an ancient Knuckles tribe settlement that was supposed to have been destroyed long ago, and a shadow creeps up on them…!

Sonic Forces

A world where 99.99% of the world is controlled by the Eggman Army! Sonic fights against the Eggman Army along with the Resistance Army. Fighting alone against the mysterious enemy “Infinite,” Silver did not back down even in the face of his mighty power.

After Sonic Forces is IDW Sonic which I obviously can't link here in its entirety.

Team Vector Interview (Team Sonic Racing tie-in character interview)

Team Sonic Racing

A racing game in which teams of three players race through courses in a car! After receiving an invitation in the future, Silver joins Vector’s team with Blaze. He tries to find out the true intentions of the race organizer, but…

Sonic & Silver (Silver Introduction Story)

An original mini-novella that portrays the appeal of various characters through their relationship with Sonic! To prevent a catastrophe in the near future, Silver asks Sonic for help, but…?

While all Sonic Channel stories are canon this one specifically introduces Silver's character and comes highly recommended for Silver fans, especially the third portion which explains key aspects of his character like how he struggled through the apocalypse and can deal with things too head on.

and that is it! Once again Silver only has seven canon game appearances and is only a main character in four of them. (He only has a few scenes in Colors, Generations and Forces)

Because there are various script differences between the English and Japanese versions I recommend checking out both versions and examining the differences for yourselves. Sonic 06 and Team Sonic Racing in particular have many significant differences between the English and Japanese versions. Besides Lost World and Frontiers the Japanese versions of every Sonic game are actually written first so they can be considered the more "canon" versions. (The Sonic Rivals games were not released in Japan so they only have English versions.)

[wereh0gz]

I have a Sonic spinoff game idea

Ok so. It's a turn-based rpg inspired by dnd, bc I have an itch to play rpgs and also I'm still mad abt them not doing anything with the dnd stuff the official social media posted abt months ago

The story is essentially a battles and badniks (dnd in sonic's world) campaign run by Orbot. Sonic and co. hear abt it somehow (possibly through an invitation?) and decide to check it out thinking it might be one of Eggman's schemes, but nah. It's just a straight game Orbot is running for funsies. Not exactly sure what the story of the campaign would be, but I know it involves Sonic being a villain bc he deserves to let loose. Also Eggman and Sage would be minor antagonists, basically like rivals to the party that they meet and fight at certain points. The main party could consist of Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow, with Amy possibly being the de-facto main character and with more characters joining the party later on

The game is divided into two types of gameplay- in-game segments that look like your typical high fantasy rpg, which take up most of your playtime, and out-of-game segments in a similar style to a visual novel, which are a lot shorter

The rpg segments play like a mixture of your typical turn-based game and ttrpg. The party is on a quest of some sort, exploring the world of their game, meeting people, visiting various villages and doing small side-quests along the way. The party can encounter enemies in areas between villages, which they battle in a similar manner to most games of the genre, by selecting the actions each character takes. BUT they have to roll their dice to determine how well they perform the selected action, which is the main gimmick of the game. They can also perform checks to lessen the effects of certain actions taken against the characters in battle or to determine how well certain actions are performed out of battle, which in some cases could affect how the story progresses so each playthrough is kind of unique. There's also an exp system, in which exp is gained by defeating enemies and performing side-quests

The out-of-game segments serve to give a bit of extra exposition to the player (like setting up the actual campaign and showing why each character is playing the role they are playing in it, stuff like that). There would be some moments in the rpg segments where the campaing is interrupted by these segments, mostly used for gags at first until later into the game where some interpersonal drama happens

Both segments would have different art styles, too. The rpg segments would have a 2.5d pixelart style while the visual novel segments would have a style similar to tmosth. Since this is a hypothetical game, I'd throw in voice acting too, but if it were real I wouldn't expect there to be any

Each characters' class would be the same as seen in this post, and they'd have different names and slightly different appearances to the "real-world" characters playing them. Of course their outfits are different to fit the roles they are playing, but their actual physical appearance and age could be different too, all depending on how they were made by the characters playing them. Amy's character specifically would essentially just be Paladin Amy from Sonic Dash and Speed Battle. Not really sure abt the others tho

The endgame would be to redeem Sonic's character, who as I said earlier is the main villain, and also figure out why Sonic would choose to play the villain in the first place (spoiler alert: he's stressed as fuck and wants to not be seen as a hero for once). They also gotta stop Eggman and Sage from causing trouble. Fun hijinks, dnd-based jokes, (possibly) some high fantasy horror, and plenty of character drama ensues

Sonic Delta: Origins

Opal the Cat was born to Alex and Pearl in Floral Forest Village. As the Rabbit family resided there, she knew Cream and Cheese. A Chao Garden was in her old home, so she was raised around them. This is where her fondness for Chao came from.

Being homeschooled, she didn't have too many friends growing up. She knew Cream but met Perci and Zooey by chance one day. They became her first friends in the village. Charlie and Belinda were also kind to her. Dave had a one-sided crush on her.

One day, Cream received an invitation to Sonic's birthday party. The invitation went to Opal by accident. She got the invitation to Cream but was persuaded to join her in the festivities. With some persuading, Opal came along and was introduced to many of Sonic's friends. One of the Chao that attended the party took a shine to Opal.

No one knew why she got sucked in by the Time Eater that day. It may have been because he foretold her becoming a friend of Sonic. She ended up in Shadow's White Space instead of where Sonic and his friends were. The Chao that was smitten with her was also there.

Opal becomes a guide of sorts to Shadow during their time together. Eventually, she and Shadow make it to where Sonic is and cheer him on during the final battle. At the end of the party, the Chao accompanies Opal permanently. She names her Flora.

Opal returns home and resumes her quiet days with her new friend. Alex and Pearl realize it's time for her to leave the nest, for she is sixteen. Those days come tumbling down when Eggman launches a full-scale attack on her home.

Opal, Flora, and her Mom were able to get to safety. Alex died protecting civilians from Eggman's robot troops. Opal was slightly closer to her father than her mother. The news nearly broke her psyche. Combined with her friends reported missing, it left her struggling to function. Flora became a Service Chao to help her.

She signs up for the Freedom Fighters, but her self-doubt starts to get to her, and she considers quitting. On her first run, she proved vital in taking down an air fortress Emperor Robotnik had launched. From there, she starts working up the ranks to become second-in-command. This was critical because Knuckles led the Freedom Fighters at the time.

Through a chance encounter with Sonic, she turned the tide of the War to Take Back Mobius along with him. It came at the cost of Sonic overexerting himself during the final battle, and he fell comatose. The Freedom Fighters disbanded, and the younger Sonic returned to his time.

When robot raids occurred during clean-up, the initial Freedom Fighter group was reformed into two teams. Team Freedom defended Sunset City while Team Fighters worked to locate the source of the raids and inspire the people of Mobius to protect themselves. Neo Metal Sonic was ultimately stopped and Eggman was revealed to be alive and up to no good.

Thanks to Opal, Clove and Cassia defected from the Eggman Empire. At the same time, Sonic awoke from his coma and managed to fully recover. The Restoration was formed. Tekno was hired as part of R&D. Opal moved to Spiral Hill Village to live closer to her new friends, Tangle and Whisper.

During Dr. Eggman's rebuilding of his Empire, she met Mina Mongoose, who was going through some turmoil with her boyfriend, Ash. Opal fell for her, but they didn't enter a relationship until Surge and Kitsunami went on the loose.

After Dr. Starline was fired for going off script too many times, the platypus attempted to attack a concert Mina held with the Lemniscate band. Opal was assigned as a bodyguard by Xavier. She was given Nicole to help her out. At the time, Mina and Ash were no longer an item. Opal was able to drive off Surge and Kit but got injured in the process. While recovering, Mina confessed to Opal and they met Honey.

These days, Opal leads the Diamond Cutters. She shares a close friendship with Cosmo and a romantic relationship with Mina. Opal has gained more confidence and a positive outlook. Opal also works with Blaze and Silver as part of Team Crystal.

[nintendouniverse2023]

Scene I have a few ideas of Super Mario Rebirth Show AU, I figured that I would make My own AU Series of Sonic the Hedgehog with also of few ideas, with redesigns of The Sonic Heroes and Villains.

Bio: Marine was born on Southern Island in the middle of nowhere on the sea, where she was kept company by the Coconut Crew from a young age. Growing up, Marine dreamt of going out and see the world as the captain of her own ship and have adventures, eventually becoming discontent over staying on her island like a prisoner. As such, she would spent her days gazing across the ocean, particular at the Plant Kingdom, while wondering about what lied beyond her home. By the time she was seven years old, Marine finally decided to set out, and took up sailing and shipbuilding, making numerous attempts to make her own ship with Materials.

In Sonic Rush Adventure arc, Marine found Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower when they washed up on Seagull Beach. Claiming to having "saved" them, introductions were made and Marine promptly invited them to stay with her until they found a way home. The next day, Marine took the SS Marine out on its maiden voyage while Sonic and Tails watched, but she failed to control it and crashed. Her loss left Marine devastated, but Tails offered to build her a new boat. While Marine was unsure about it due to several issues, Sonic and Tails made the Wave Cyclone with a book provided by Marine. Proclaiming herself the captain, Marine "lead" the group out on their journey to different islands, looking for Materials. While Marine got to see new places, often wandering off despite Sonic and Tails' warnings, the group was attacked by several robotic enemies on their journey which Marine suspected was jealous of her adventures. They also met the rogue racer Johnny, who Marine goaded into challenging her, only to pass it over to Sonic. When reaching Coral Cave, Marine unveiled the isle by poking at an altar. There, they met Captain Whisker, whom Marine antagonized, and his crew, who were the ones behind the robot attacks. They also met Sonic's old ally, Blaze the Cat, who helped fight off Whisker, though the pirates got away with the Jeweled Scepter, an artifact in Coral Cave which Blaze tried to protect. Hearing that Sonic and Tails were actually from another world, Marine had them explain it all, and they decided to help Blaze recover the scepter which posed a threat to both their worlds.

Years after this event were Marine counties to join her friends an there quest as well as sailing across the seas. She then learned the truth about Sonic use to be a Freedom Fighter in the past and She was thrilled whe he form the new Freedom Fighters as a leader. She still rushed into actions in the seas if she was needed unless she rushed without thinking.

Miscellaneous Facts

Some interesting facts that don't really fit in the previous categories.

Sonic has very mild agoraphobia, specifically towards large, empty spaces.

One of Sonic’s idle lines reveals he secretly envies Shadow and Silver for having chest fur.

Sonic notes more than once that subglacial bodies of water scares him even more than the open ocean.

Tails initially was going to tag along with Sonic to Antarctica but on the night before departure, he had a dream forewarning him of “a looming danger barely within [his] control.” It apparently spooked Tails enough to convince him to withdraw from the expedition.

Interested in learning more about Sonic Icebound? Visit this document to read up!

More of Icebound's miscellaneous facts below the cut:

Knuckles, who appears during the tail end of the game, claims to have been to Antarctica before and climbed Vinson Massif, the continent’s tallest mountain. Coincidentally, Sonic summits Mount Sidley (Antarctica’s tallest volcano) during the game’s events.

It is suggested that certain breeds of Chao could survive in Antarctica from an abandoned logbook entry.

Sonic only took a radio transceiver with him on the trip at Tails’ insistence.

Another logbook entry from an abandoned outpost suggests that Eggman used the Sidley-Weiss base to mass manufacture Shadow Androids sometime prior to Sonic Heroes.

One of Sonic’s idle lines states that he once looked at Shadow’s MP3 player and found out the latter listens primarily to Motown pop, soul, and jazz fusion.

Knuckles reveals that despite residing on Angel Island (which, presumably, has a cold climate), he hates cold climates.

Another idle line from Sonic states that he had considered inviting Big to come with him to Antarctica but decided against it, reasoning that there would be very few good fishing spots for him to go.

Among the three bosses Sonic fights before Simulacrum, Eggman wrote in a logbook that he considered E-109 Kappa to be the one with the best chance at ultimately defeating Sonic but expressed doubts as to whether its speakers were durable enough to consistently output infrasound.

Eggman also wrote that he had also been working on an Omega-sized model tentatively named E-112 Phi but scrapped it for undisclosed reasons. He also mentions offhandedly that he had named the models after Greek letters of the alphabet because he took Greek as one of his minors in college.

The cutscene in which Sonic’s radio transceiver dies following the boss battle against E-111 Iota is the only time in the games that Sonic is ever shown crying.

This is gonna be more soft than plot heavy— here is my brain dump for these drawings:

This is going to be romantic fluff sonadow- I have no self control and want something sickeningly sweet.

This au(?) is basically:

Maria Robotnik is alive and well and in her 30s (37-35? Mid 30s ) Shadow is Maria’s younger brother ofc. They both worked under GUN as a brother and sister duo until Maria got injured badly, crippling her from the waist down- she is still incredibly positive/optimistic and is still fighting against eggman but with her intense knowledge. Helping in the science field than deep in action. (( shadow blames himself for her injuries. And she knows this- reminding him that it was HER decision to do whatever that caused this to happen to her. Slight angst. He no longer is into the whole teaming up thing ))

ANYWAY: because of Maria and her achievements she was being celebrated, she managed to do something grand or something worth celebrating. (( idk I even thought hey- let her get married or something but I kinda like the idea of either a fundraiser she’s hosting or an incredible milestone something ))

Maria has also made many friends one being tails- he’s so young and incredibly talented met through a professor or through taking a class or something along the lines…and she knows of sonic of course. They all do.

Sonic and shadow have only crossed paths maybe twice in this au. Once from a distance back when Maria also worked for gun. The second time was the night before Maria’s celebration. Sonic and tails traveled to whatever city as they were invited to partake in the celebration. Maria was sure to include sonics name on the invite (( maybe she had gotten worried for shadow - and thought that maybe she could convince blue to either be her fill in or at the very least look out for him if he ever sees her brother around ))

The night before the celebration something had been happening downtown, some kind of battle or issue and of course both hedgehogs arrived before anyone else could show up. They both managed to fight and keep up with one another only for them to exchange a quick look more out of curiosity for one another. Both not so sure on the other not able to get a good look either since there was a lot going on. And of course police and gun agents show up once they had finished the fight. Sonic wanting to turn around and give the stranger a comment but the red striped stranger was already gone.

Fast forward to the day of the ceremony/celebration/thing. Sonic had accompanied tails and it was a lot of thank yous, future developments, a show floor with new tech that will be released for the public all that good stuff. And maybe they decide to leave a bit early. Maria was sure to find tails and sonic to thank them both for making the trip//mentioning her worries, only planting the seed more than actually asking sonic straight up. She doesn’t want to just push that responsibility onto him. But just mentioning that her brother might be cold but he could use someone around who can keep up is all… as they leave from some side door, it smells like freshly wet pavement from the rain. It smells like dark roasted coffee, and bitter cigarettes. there was a lingering scent of lavender that hid under it all.

It was the first time sonic could see the other hedgehog without some kind of obscurity.

The day was cold. The weather was dreary. The smell of smoke tickled his throat in an unpleasant way. And yet his heart leaped up into his throat with that bitter scent stuck. observing from a distance not sure if the other knows or even cares of his presence.

:) yeah.

I’ve been drawing shadow in a suit and then I drew sonic in a suit crushing over shadow—- I now have the urge to make this into an au or something idk what I just want them to wear suits and sonic to have a crush on shadow that is so obvious but he’s so oblivious to his own feelings.

With the news that Ian Flynn will be writing Sonic Frontiers and that Amy is apparently going to have a major role I feel the need to bring peoples, or at least the people happen upon this blog, attention to this.

These are snippets from one of the early scenes of the IDW Sonic comics as well as one of my favorite moments in this franchise. Sonic and Amy team up during Sonic's escapades to clean up what's left of Eggmans robots after the events of Sonic Forces. Specifically this is just after a fight. Amy and Sonic are chatting about what comes next, wondering if these coordinated robot attacks are coincidence or intentional, etc. But the thing I really like about this scene is the banter between these two, how confortable they are talking to eachother, the little jabs they take, even Sonic inviting Amy to come with him to invesrigate and her turning him down. This is the first time in this entire franchise I've actually seen Sonic and Amy as friends. Two people who enjoy each others company and want what's best for the other. This is a far cry from Amy's introduction in 1999's Sonic Adventure, where when Amy shows up she immediately asks for a favour almost instantly her greeting and Sonic acts like he just got cornered by a funking puma.

But you see this contrast is a big part of what makes this scene so good! Back in Adventure both Sonic and Amy were younger, their relstionship less developed. She was a fangirl and he was a kid who'd probably never had this much romantic attention from anyone before, so of course they reacted like they did. But now? They're older, they've spent a lot of time together and they've both developed a mutual respect for one another. Hell it even follows up on Amy's SA1 ending where she announces to herself she'll make Sonic respect her, and lo-and-behold... he does.

And yes she still is romantically interested and yes he still clearly doesn't know what to do with that, but it's different now. Before, as I said, Amy was a fangirl and was infatuated with Sonic. Now? She's still very open with those feelings but they've also clearly developed into a real, very deep, love for him. She loves him so much, infact, that she's hugely pulled back on how pushy she is about it but rather, even while expressing her feelings, she's still on task as to the greater issues at play and is more than happy to forego spending more time with him in order to attend to her own responsibilities. If you think back to Sonic X Amy would never. She's grown, a lot.

And then there's Sonic. Back in the day he acted like a wounded wild animal desperately trying to escape a predator whenever he was in the same room as her. But here? He's joking with her, treating her like a friend and equal, even asking her if she wants to join him on his own mission to help with cleanup. He's grown past being a teenager who's freaking out because a girl is showing interest in him for, probably, the first time in his life. A LOT of interest. And sure he's not asking her to marry him on the spot like the shippers want, but it's clear he's happy and comfortable being around her.

I say all of this because one of my favorite aspects of Ian Flynns writing is how he does character interaction and relationships, discount Vegeta Shadow aside, and that's an aspect that I've felt has been missing from Sonic games since Sonic Colours. We've spent a decade of characters throwing their one character trait at each other and so the prospect that the cast will have more complex dynamics and actually feel like friends who care about each other like real people REALLY exciting. And this scene with Sonic and Amy shows why.

Anyway thanks for coming to my Hedge Talk.

Vampire Egg just straight up becomes obsessed with the necks of big buff men and he cant handle himself and shuxbwisuwhebe 🫣🥴🥴🥴

Also happy halloween king 💀🎃

Agjhhsbkgshg oh my god yes it'd definitely be a taste in men that Vampire AU Eggman would have in common with main universe modern Eggman as the other versions typically do too! It would be cute for him to discover it through his fascination with people that visit in general as a vampire that's so far away from the outside world in his spooky hideaways. He could not even know such men exist like that for a while until the first one ever dares to enter one of the spooky places he resides in.

He'd especially love it if their reason for entering one of them was to impress others by not being scared because they're big and/or strong and cocky, he'd admire the confidence and bravery they have due to it to venture in there without fear. He'd be fascinated with them, not just for being people of the outside world, but also because he's never seen anything like it before, toned bodies and muscles would immediately catch his interest and he'll need to get a closer look. Just out of curiosity, of course.

He starts off by using his brief invisibility ability and his bat form to follow them around, take peeks at them from the shadows, and creep a little closer for a few seconds, cheekily hiding and giggling when he quickly disappears and hides before they can see him too soon when he's not done admiring- I mean checking out- I mean stalking his prey. But he can only deny for so long how this feels different and more intense and special than any other times and visitors as he gets some funny fuzzy feelings.

He realizes his interest is deeper than with the average person and gives him excitement and other feelings he's still new to but has recognized he also feels for modern Eggman, so it definitely means something more here too. He's totally smitten and wants to find a way to talk to them without scaring them off as a vampire with sharp fangs and is often covered in blood from messy feedings. His first attempts include cute and silly stumbling around them as he's inexperienced but he tries his best!

He drools at the sight of them, wonders how they taste, and wants to suck them in more ways than one lol when he's attracted to them but it also makes the urge to drink their blood extra intense. He tries to lure them in with flirtatiousness which he doesn't usually do with prey - giving a similarity to Casino AU Egg but to a far milder degree. His first tries are more funny and adorable than sexy but it can work just the same, if he doesn't scare them away just by being a real vampire, albeit a very silly one.

He'd also love if they were bigger than him because he's used to mostly encountering smaller creatures and ghosts in spooky places he hangs out in and visitors often tend to be smaller too because he's so big. He didn't think they could be bigger, he'd be fascinated and excited to get to look up at someone. The strength and stamina they might have compared to the average visitor would make them more challenging and thrilling to chase and catch as prey too, if he's trying his classic pursuit method.

He'd also be delighted if they're big and/or strong enough for him jump onto them even in his regular form without them tumbling down, wrap his arms and legs around and cling to them there while he sucks their blood. He'd just love to climb a big boy and nuzzle into their big strong inviting neck in regular or bat form before taking a bite. He'd also enjoy landing on them while he's in his bat form too, making them and their muscles look even bigger to him and he wants to bury his face in their abs.

He wants to be held in their arms against their strong body. He wants them to cuddle and provide warmth he doesn't usually get as a vampire of low body heat in cold spooky places. He wants to see them flex and feel up their big muscles with admiration. He wants to wrap his arms around them from the front or behind tightly in a hug while he sucks their blood, enjoying the pleasure of both the taste and intimacy of being pressed up against them and he's extra satisfied once he's had his fill.

They make him so happy that he's extra giggly and gleeful than usual and can't stop beaming while around them, he wants to keep them close to feel their warmth and admire their beauty. He wishes he could keep drinking from them and they have to remind him to wait until he can again so he doesn't drink them dry! But he can't help but get playfully nippy before then in both regular and bat form because it's so tempting, so they can expect a lot of bite marks both smaller and bigger XD

He adores them for being so big, strong, warm, and handsome. As soon as he gets lucky enough to meet his first, he thinks about them a lot and always hopes more of them will come along and visit any spooky place he's currently staying at. He feels he's struck gold whenever they wander in and they're one of the types of men that he always hopes can be more than just prey that he feeds on and then lets go. It's a special case where he wants their delicious necks and the rest of them!

You could say that he has a liiittle bit of an obsession and weakness for them and can hardly control it around them and makes it so obvious hehe. 🥴 I love the idea of it being something all the versions I involve in the Eggman x Eggman polygamy have in common. It's cute for them all to be super passionate about it, whether they're more open or secretive about it but smitten and lovestruck by them all the same. Another thing to bond over, as well as their love for fellow fat guys! 💜💕

Thank you so much! Happy Halloween to you too, hope you had a good one. I definitely did but it was very busy and then I fell asleep after all the excitement so that's why this is late lol 💖

Sonic’s Diary: The Night Before

Date: 08/15

Mood: Mega Hyped

It's finally happening! After putting it on the backburner for what feels like forever, me and Tails are heading off to Viridonia tomorrow for a brand new vacation, and I'm psyched! Tails is excited too of course, it’s pretty adorable.

We've been holding it off for so long. TOO long, and believe me, it hasn’t been through lack of interest. We'd been meaning to go for ages, but y'know how it is... getting sucked in a book one day, planet gets frozen in time another day... not to mention all the other places I've explored in my free time. World's a big place, after all, and I don't want to miss a single part of it. Least of all this part!

Tails told me that Viridonia is one of the biggest islands in the entire world. Maybe even THE biggest. Sounds like I would have preferred it over my home as a kid, where it was nothing but coconuts. This place though? Way more than coconuts from the sound of it. The buildings are said to glow different colours depending on the time of day, and the waves are supposedly brighter than anywhere else on the planet. And that’s just the start of it... aw man, tomorrow can’t come soon enough!

Although, as much as I’m sure I’ll enjoy this trip... I can’t help but wonder if something might happen while we're there. It's the perfect vacation spot, so it should be a slam dunk, but Tails did mention that it’s been the subject of historical speculation for decades, and it’s apparently a hot spot for scientists. Memory's a little fuzzy on it at the moment - I’ll have to ask him again on the way there - but I think he mentioned something about the makers? I’m not sure what that refers to, but it sounds interesting... and also sounds exactly like the sort of thing that a loony would be interested in for the wrong reasons... and I tend to attract loonies wherever I go. Most of them look and sound like Eggman.

To be honest, I wouldn't exactly complain, since adventure's always been in my blood. But if things do end up taking a turn for the action, the real question is whether the culprit will be Eggman or not. Seriously, that guy never quits. Don't think he knows HOW to quit. Kinda reminds me of... oh geez.

Actually, I say that, but the coot's been quiet for some time now. Longer than usual for him. Everyone's been pretty relieved about that, and yeah, it's great and all... but I'm not sure how to feel about it. Maybe he finally decided to retire. Or maybe he's working hard on something stupid that I’ll have to forcibly dismantle. Experience has taught me which is more likely. Knuckles tries to see the good in everyone, bless his heart, but personally, I know better than to expect Egghead to change his ways, with how long he’s been at it.

Anyway, the plan is that it's just me and Tails. We wanted to include the others, but we were out of luck there. Amy and Cream went off the other day on a vacation of their own. Dunno where to, though. (I forgot to ask...) Knuckles predictably had reservations about spending quality time with yours truly, though he did sound rather curious about our destination... think I might have sensed a teensy bit of jealousy from him. Poor guy. I get the Master Emerald's important, but does he ever have second thoughts about the guardian life? I wouldn't dream of being shackled like that for all time. But Angel Island is a big place in its own right, and if it works for him...

The rest? Big's on a fishing trip world tour. Heard it's going well for him, so that's cool. Blaze is over in her world, and it's safe to assume she's busy with princess duties, whatever those may be. (There's lots of waving involved, right?) I even wanted to invite Shadow in the hopes of getting him to loosen up. I know, crazy, right? But I haven't seen him in a while either, and neither of us could get in touch with him. He must be contemplating somewhere... that sounds like something he’d do. I don't know what his interests are. I think he'd have the same reaction as Knuckles, so maybe it's for the best.

So yep, it's just the two of us. Which is A-OK with me. It's always sweet when we get to hang out together, just like the old days. I think Tails has been needing some R and R anyway, I've caught him beating himself up over the Eggman thing on the Lost Hex. Seems like he's worried that he's let me down... but that's just crazy talk, isn't it? I'm proud of my bro! Always have been, and I don't want him to forget that. He's earned this time off, and I'm gonna make sure he gets the full of it just as much as I do.

Well, I better catch some Z's. Early to bed, early to catch the first day of paradise. You can bet I’ll do my best to get some awesome photos. Maybe we'll meet a new pal as well, who knows? Look out Viridonia, the fastest duo alive is coming to pick you up like no other!

(PS: Pack some chili dogs and mint candy before we head off.)

(PSS: Try not to act like an obvious tourist.)

Sonic the Hedgehog Analyzer, Issue #33: Chao Races and Badnik Bases (Part 1)

Welcome to The Chao Races and Badnik Bases Arc, where we finally return back to the main story after we had found out what happened to the main and/or recurring villains: Starline, Zavok, Mimic, Rough and Tumble, and Eggman. So, how about adding one more villain to the roster?

We start off being outside Tails’ workshop. Sonic is lying on a tree, listening to Rouge, Amy, Tails and Omega. Apparently, Rouge had gotten some kind of code from the Faceship and is hoping Tails could make some sense of it. Aside from that, he also needs to fully rebuild Omega. Fortunately, they have most of the parts from when he fell apart at the party.

Tails notes that, if he could get into Eggman’s network, he could find the cipher for the blueprints and fix Omega. Rouge is happy about the news and decides to leave. Cue Sonic jumping inside and telling them about the Egg Base at Windmill Village, inviting Amy to join them. Amy, while certainly wanting to go along with Sonic, is not happy about the idea of going to the dark, cold underground dealing with rusty Badniks. Tails also adds that he needs a part-set from an E-100 series to properly rebuild Omega, so Rouge volunteers to get him one.

She explains how one can find Eggman tech at the White Park, and knows a guy who can help them: Clutch, who is also the park’s reigning champion of the White Park Chao Racing Circuit. Rouge adds how they’ll have to go undercover, and notes how they should participate at the Chao Races. Amy is reasonably suspicious of Rouge’s plan, but they still make the call to Cream.

Vanilla answers the phone, with Amy asking her for permission to let Cream and Cheese tag along for the Chao Races in White Park, explaining the situation. Amy also adds how they would do the same in Gemerl’s situation, so wouldn’t Omega deserve a chance as well? Vanilla agrees with that sentiment, adding how Gemerl is damaged, and Amy assures him that Tails can fix him. Cream then asks her to let them go help, with Vanilla agreeing, as long as Amy and Gemerl are with her. Cream is quite happy about that.

Speaking of which... Treasure Team Tango anyone? We got Rouge, Amy and Cream working together again.

Meanwhile, near Windmill Village, Sonic and Tails are visiting an old Egg Base, which Sonic had spotted during one of his runs. Tails looks a bit nervous, so Sonic teases him about the base being haunted by ghost Badniks.

Well, it certainly seems to be haunted by a Badnik.

They find a room with a computer, with Tails being happy to get it started. Sonic is a little unnerved by the dolls of himself, Tails and Knuckles scattered around the base. Honestly, I would to. We know what the Tails doll is capable of.

Meanwhile, Amy, Rouge, Cream, Cheese and Gemerl are on their way to White Park. Amy figures she could enjoy a bit of a vacation, only to almost run someone over! That being? Shadow!

Okay, buddy, I know Sonic has a thing for dramatic entrances, but I didn’t know you shared the same sentiment.

But, no, seriously, what the hell were you doing in the middle of the road?

Amy voices my question, but Shadow notes that it doesn’t concern her (while trying to climb over a guardrail (dude, just jump over it; it doesn’t look that tall). Amy then asks him whether he wants to help them with fixing Omega, but Shadow refuses, saying he’s not interested.

According to Ian, Sega says that Team Dark is no longer a thing and the name is strictly a marketing term. The three members are not a team and they have never worked for G.U.N. (despite the fact that Rouge has been depicted as working for G.U.N. in several games, such as Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog); Shadow also doesn't even consider them friends. (Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW)/Executive Meddling)

I’ll just leave it at that. I’ve been bitching enough about Team Dark’s circumstances and the fact that their dynamic from Sonic ‘06 isn’t canon anymore. Honestly, I just wish Shadow would show at least some concern regarding Omega.

Still, I’m not done with this discussion.

Amy notes how Shadow is a grump, but Rouge tells her that he was just being polite and that they’ll probably see him again. They soon arrive at the chateau, with Rouge telling them to call her Facet, revealing she got Omega in her trunk. We also see a certain figure wearing a heavy coat.

Their attention is drawn by Omochao, a robotic Chao who serves as an announcer, telling them to register for the Chao Races. While Amy goes to find a good spot for them to watch the race, Rouge, Cream and Gemerl go to register Cheese for it. Omochao points out that Cream is underage, but Rouge quickly saves the situation by claiming she was referring to herself. Omochao explains the rules, with Cream wishing Cheese good luck.

Cream questions Rouge about lying, but Rouge assures her that a little lie won’t hurt anyone. Gemerl just registers that Rouge has a disposition towards deception, with Rouge saying how he’s not fun. Rouge then points out Clutch, and I have to say, the villain of this arc looks rather intriguing.

The race starts, with Cheese getting kicked in the back by a Dark Chao who looks like Shadow. Amy and Cream cheer for him and Cheese manages to make it to the finish line, registering for the race tomorrow.

Cream and Rouge celebrate Cheese’s victory, while Cheese suspiciously observes the Dark Chao, who just grins back.

Amy admits that it was pretty fun, only for them to get ambushed by Clutch. Rouge quickly takes over the conversation, with Clutch giving her his card, noting how he wanted to meet up and talk with all new Chao trainers, calling Cheese exceptional. Rouge accepts the invitation.

Amy is suspicious, noting how it was too easy, but Rouge assures her she can handle things and she already knows Clutch is up to something. Rouge tells them to go ahead and book a room, while she and Omega go talk to Clutch. They find the penthouse, which is cluttered with all kinds of stuff.

Clutch is happy she found him, calling Rouge by her real name. Clutch points out that he’s sitting on a fortune, while she’s a world-famous thief, so this was bound to happen eventually. Rouge prefers the term “treasure hunter”, with Clutch offering her a deal.

Being a Chao trainer, he’s interested in Cheese. If Cheese can win the race tomorrow, he’ll give Rouge anything she wants from his collection, but in exchange for Cheese himself. He also adds how he treats his Chao well, as long as they’re winning for him. Rouge doesn’t look to happy about the offer, telling him she’ll think over it. Clutch tries to convince her by offering some of the gemstones and honestly, while we know that Rouge would love to have them, she isn’t that greedy... or stupid.

Omega questions her, with Rouge telling him how she won’t give Cheese away, but Clutch doesn’t know that, deciding to give Omega (or rather, his head) a job to do.

She then exits the room, only to see someone standing at the end of the hallway (why does this scene remind me of The Shining?). The figure takes their hood off, with Rouge being stunned to see them.

We then cut to outside, with Shadow standing on the top of the building, overlooking the amusement park. Apparently, he’s still after Eggman, searching for a bot-trader. He considers joining Amy, Cream and Rouge for a moment, only to decide against, noting how this isn’t his problem.

He suddenly sees a figure running across the rooftop... and it’s Starline. We know it’s Starline as he’s using the Tricore. Shadow is suspicious, figuring the rumors are true after all and lands right in front of Starline.

Starline speeds off, catching Shadow off guard, but Shadow follows him. However, just as he catches up to Starline, questioning the latter whether he works for Eggman, only for Starline to grab a piece of a wooden beam and whacks Shadow right across the chest with it. Man, that has to hurt!

The last we see is Shadow falling off a building, Starline standing over him. It is a neat cliffhanger, but let’s be honest here, we know Shadow will survive this fall.

Oh, and speaking of Shadow, I do have some things to say about him, but I’ll leave that for another time.

I somehow found it odd that Amy got vitriol in Sonic Heroes but the other teams get off scot-free

Amy getting into a fight with Sonic to convince him to marry her is stupid... but Rouge immediately assuming that Team Chaotix were after Eggman's treasure, when they were just vibin' there, is never talked about :P

Then there's the utter mess of the Rose vs. Chaotix setup: Vector asks Amy for information, Amy assumes that this grown man is hitting on her (and after playing Adventure and talking with an old man who invited her for sodas I don't even blame her anymore), Espio cuts to the chase and demands Cheese (which ngl is some great gameplay and story integration), Cream assumes that he also kidnapped Chocola, Big gets angry, Charmy is like "FUCK YEAH LET'S SHED BLOOD", cue fight

It's not technically OOC, but it all happens in less than a minute fhsjakfasfjash

(Sonic vs. Dark is the best one because Sonic and Shadow just decide to spout one liners to each other, and that's perfectly IC)
