Happy anniversary to Sonic 3 ahhhh!!

I've been looking for an excuse to animate an action scene to Victor McKnight's music for ages. Here's the song btw! It's my favourite of his, but all his tracks are absolute bangers.

The splash art in the middle was made by my amazing friend @yesidoodles!! I'm allergic to colours and they are cracked at exactly that. I think they've posted the piece on their blog by now.

Lastly I'm tagging @year-of-the-echidna because it's important to celebrate our boy! It's late, but the prompt is 'memory'.

Team Sonic is currently at a ratio of 2:1 because Sonic and Knuckles are "shoot first, ask questions later" kinda guys, but with Amy joining the team, Tails will no longer be the only Rational One™

Hello Anon ✨

You're absolutely right. Sonic and Knuckles are indeed more of a team that "hits first and asks questions later". So much so that in the conflict with Shadow, Tails was the only one who didn't think of attacking without a plan. And with Amy joining the group, I believe that she will at least support him in his plans beforehand, especially since I theorise that Amy's chaos powers will manifest as temporal manipulation and the ability to see the past and future, powers that are more strategic than brute force like Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles.

However, I also believe that Amy will have her own distinct position. She is less impulsive and prone to planning, clearly devised the best way to save Sonic in the post-credits, but we have to remember that canonically… Amy is completely unhiged.

She has her emotions on edge, loves adventure to escape her mundane life and wields a giant hammer that requires insane brute force. She is as strong as Knuckles and as prone to throwing herself into chaos and fighting as Sonic, but her strategic streak (and dare say prone to tech because that hammer was totally robotic) make her more similar to Tails.

And here comes another theory of mine: while Amy has her own personality, she has traits that open to friendship with the three boys on Team Sonic while maintaining her unique traits: empathy, unconditional love, and most importantly, iron persistence and an incorruptible morale of hope and kindness.

Shadow and Gerald knew that their black hole device would destroy the entire base. Not just their enemies, their home. Maria’s home. All her possessions - her toys, her skates, the photos of her, every material trace of her life. And they used it anyway. They didn’t even save a single keepsake. Because their mission wasn’t about her and her life, or even real justice for her death; it was about their pain, the darkness and emptiness she left behind inside them, and their desire to let it consume everything for the sheer sake of annihilation.

You silly goober, you innocent child

Did you ever ask him what he wanted?

They are both so stupid istg silly children

The wiki says that Manic is the second born, but Sonic and Sonia have both referred to him as "little brother" in the show with Sonia at one point also calling Sonic "older brother", establishing a chronology for them (Sonic, Sonia, Manic), and I desperately wanna know where the wiki got the information it's using, 'cause it's certainly not from the dialogue in the show.

Still thinking abt satbk bro was so ready to throw hands the moment he saw king arthur like I don't think he even needed to be told by merlina that he had to slay him I think he would've just done it

I love Sonic games cause nobody has any clue wtf is happening half the time.

They are all just doing their own thing when they all randomly meet up, each knowing about 2% of the plot, and then the worlds ending and Eggman is up to his shit again, time to beat him with the power of friendship woohoo!

Okay, so a friend and I went back over a portion in the Season 3 trailer last night.

Because both of us (on separate days), after having watched the trailer a few times, essentially had the question: Is that green shatterspace portal actually Boscage Maze?

When I myself watched it I felt...idk...like the shade of green was different. And then my friend mentioned (after another look at it) that the color was more muted.

And then...we let our brains run.

Mind you, before the trailer or any summaries of the season came out, my friend and I were talking over discord. We'd decided that based on the evidence (Sonic's natural eminence of prism energy, whatever makes him special compared to Shadow, the fact he shattered the prism, etc) Sonic could theoretically have a deeper connection to the paradox prism due to the energy inside him. Then, they threw a what if in the air.

Essentially "I don't think they'll do it, but what if Sonic is the missing piece to the paradox prism. So they won't be able to complete the prism and do anything with it without risking killing Sonic"

To which I said "That would be so cool! And given that I've never believed Sonic's going to have to actually make a big choice between his old friends or his new friends existing—or at least that he'd never actually make that choice and would find a secret third choice—I think a Sonic's wellbeing versus everything he cares about makes sense. That has the potential to hurt the other characters, because if need be, Sonic would do it"

Needless to say we watched the trailer the first time and I was like "No way he was right. Like, it was a good thought, but none of us thought for sure that they'd do it"

Now, with that in mind. As I said, my friend and I decided to let our brains run after feeling that there was a difference between the green shatterspace in the trailer and the one for boscage maze. We couldn't shake the idea that the colors are different, nor the idea that the shape of the portal openings are different. And we've both seen people talking here about how it could be the last shatterspace open or something (boscage maze that is), but to me...that doesn't make sense. Without special context, it doesn't make sense why it would have to be Boscage Maze of all worlds that would be the last to collapse, or why taking Sonic to Boscage Maze of all shatterspaces could be enough to save him. Plus there are other voices talking in that scene. There are other people who would need to get to Boscage if it was truly the last, and if it's just to get Sonic to the closest shatterspace, the characters would have to be fighting in the in between space (between the shatterspaces). And my friend too, from looking at it, thinks that the green shatterspace in the trailer seems like it's farther out at the edges of the place between.

So, we rushed to the episodes to get a clear shot of the Boscage portal, and then a clear shot of the one in the trailer.

Now, turns out we were right about the color difference.

But it's the shape too.

If you've been looking in the main tag, I probably don't need to tell any of you that each portal (the part you enter to enter a shatterspace) is shaped like its prism shard. The first image is a shot of the Boscage Maze portal my friend screenshotted. The portal opening resembles the shape of the green shard, and the green is more vibrant than the more muted green in the trailer.

The shatterspace in the trailer is just...a completely different shape, both in portal opening and the crystals around it. If you need another angle of the Boscage Portal to compare to the crystals surrounding the portal in the trailer, here's another shot.

So, different green color. Different opening shape that would correspond to a prism we haven't seen before.

Let's return to the "Sonic contains the missing piece of the paradox prism and is essentially a living prism shard" theory, and let us also employ the idea that after the prism shattered and each shard landed in one of our alternate green hills, the shards gave off an outburst in energy that allowed the blue shard to fill the shatterspace with water, the green with dense forest, or the purple with mountains of crystal.

Now you're probably saying "But tumblr user hadesknockedupintheunderworld, what about the red shard? We saw a flashback. The red shard didn't just start growing buildings when it landed in what would become New Yolk"

And to that I'd say...you're right! We know based upon the Chaos Council's flashback that they used the prism shard as their energy source (whether they received it when conquering or after the fact), and that they themselves built New Yolk city without using the prism shard (after all, they only knew it as an energy source)

So, I say to you back. What if upon landing in a shatterspace, the shards were initially unstable. So they either caused a major change/addition to the world they landed in, or it's energy was properly harnessed and contained. That wouldn't be so far fetched, right? Because we know that Nine adapted the power core the council built to properly contain and channel the energy of the red shard to create his shatterdrive.

Now, the idea that the shards, while having shared powers, also have specific element based powers is not a new idea to this fandom. So let's run with this idea too, for funsies. If the blue shard corresponds more to weather (creating storms, lightning, flooding) and the green shard causes plants to grow (as examples), what, then, would Sonic be?

I'd say speed. Why? Well, besides the fact that that's Sonic's thing, let's backtrack to episode 1.

As of episodes 1 and 2, we know Sonic's body produces the same energy as the red shard. Before Nine crafted tech to attach to Sonic's clothes, the energy was not properly distributing to his body. Sonic would run and not be able to stop, he couldn't control his speed, and sometimes, he'd even start running without actually wanting or trying to run. In short, he could not control how fast he was going, how soon he could stop, or even when he would just start running. Even his shoes, which can canonically handle his usual speeds, had started to smoke after a while.

Couldn't you perhaps extrapolate from this that...Sonic became unstable upon entering New Yolk, his speed going haywire, and it was Nine's tech that properly contained and channeled Sonic's (he living shard's) prism energy?

And if Sonic is essentially a living prism shard...

Let's go back to the shatterspace from the trailer again.

A shard shape we've never seen before.

My friend and I got to this point and we thought:

"What if this is Sonic's shatterspace?"

As in, if each prism shard corresponds to a shatterspace, what if this is a secret 6th one that corresponds to Sonic?

Earlier I said that the ideas people brought up (without in season context) for how or why Shadow would speed to take Sonic to Boscage Maze wouldn't make sense. BUT

If there's a shatterspace out there affected by/created by Sonic's prism energy, it may not be a stretch for the writers (and our main characters) to conclude that getting Sonic there could keep him from disappearing.

Just...food for thought.

knuckles' gullibility is such a fun trait ik it's kinda overdone and people are probably sick of it but honestly i wanna see more of it it's so endearing he's so silly

mm. but i feel like the it doesn't get utilised properly a lot of the time. theres a few instances where we're just told he gets tricked but not shown how and that makes it seem like he's just dumb when his gullibility's supposed to come from a belief in the good of others. and specifically in x a lot of the time he gets tricked bc his compassion is preyed upon. it makes a lot of sense for someone that grew up in isolation with no concept of deceit and i find that really interesting!!! i want that to be explored more!!

he's not the kind to try to redeem people but if anyone, even enemies, come to him in a time of need wants to help them out!! i love that about him. he tries to be an immovable mountain but he's veryyy easily swayed by others lol it's so fun

they look half dead ☹️
