#i love sonic equally .

[trix-in-a-box]

i was drawing game egg family + stone bc i can. And i was thinking.

i’ve always felt bad for Orbot (cubot too i guess but i just really like orbot and find his want to be included more prevalent) bc he’s constantly ignored/pushed aside and… do you think if they met that Stone would sympathize and be close with Orbot.

[skimmingmilk]

now I’m wondering about Bur

what’s he like?

Bur is werehog <333 Bur is best boy!

He lives deep, deep in the forest of Boscage Maze. Away from the scavengers, away from Thorn. He guards all the small creatures of the forest who've been scared away by both sides. He's never gotten close enough to really know them, but what he's heard has encouraged his choice to stay away from them all. They shout about "monsters" and they swing weapons that could hurt small creatures. So he keeps the flickies safe in a grove that he nurtures.

Like Thorn, he's a protector. But unlike Thorn, he doesn't chase people away.

Tails falls into Boscage Maze near his grove, separated from Sharp when they had a bumpy landing through the shatterspace gateway. He's hurt and so Bur brings him to his grove to look after him. Bur also ends up protecting Amy and Big when he finds them in Boscage, happy to share his shelter with them and happy for the company in looking after the flickies. At first, things are fine. Bur is a sweetheart and surprisingly good at taking care of others and tending to wounds despite being more feral and with bigger paws than Tails is used to. He snorts and huffs just like Sonic though, and has his stubborn attitude for days. He'll just pick Tails up by the scruff to make him rest and then gives him these patented big brother looks despite not even being his big brother.

But once Tails recovers, he needs to find Sharp and continue looking for the Paradox Prism shards. Except Bur won't let him leave. It's not safe. He needs to protect all the smaller creatures from being hurt, and this new fox kit is one of them. Bur is every ounce of Sonic's protective instincts. When Sharp arrives, he's immediately pegged as a threat thanks to his weapons and the way he tries to grab Tails. Bur unleashes the full force of his fury, the best fighter out of the three Sonic variants. He will try to hurt Sharp, while Sharp will try not to hurt Bur.

But even though Bur's strong and fast, Sharp's faster. Amy and Big help them get away, making the decision to stay with Bur for now since they are safe there while Tails tries to figure everything out and find the rest of their friends. As they make their escape, Tails looks back and sees all of Bur's fight just drain out of him. His wide eyes so lost and hurt, not understanding why Tails is leaving when it's safe with him. Bur would always keep him safe.

But he lays himself down with a soft whine and lets them go. Tails always swore Sonic could never get away with puppy eyes on him, but looking back at Bur, he's ready to retract that statement in a heartbeat.

Bur is best boy :')

Mcr, that one band where people get sad about voting on which member we like the most and which album we like the most, bc all the members are equally important and all albums are equally important so we try to figure out other ways to decide what we like the most, bc we suck at choosing between the four albums and the four members

I'm the original here!

today im mad about omega being TWO ENTIRE FEET shorter than the predecessor e-100s

gamma on the left, omega on the right. imagine being a pissed off killer robot but youre not even 5 feet tall. and your kindly self-sacrificial nerd of a cousin got to be 7 whole feet.

like do you understand what that looks like.

this is absurd. that's stupid. you'd think it's bad scaling on my part because gamma has no official art where he's standing mostly straight and at an easily-comparable angle, but no it's consistent with sigma's scrapnik ref, these guys are literally just fucking massive for no reason

the sa1 e-series guys aren't even proportioned like 7' guys they look like they should be like 5'. look at omegas tiny fucking head. omega literally has the build and proportions to be a proper giant killer robot but hes fucking 4' 11'' because he has to play nice with the funny little furries and thus can only be a specific magnitude larger and more imposing than them. *i* should not be nearly a whole foot taller than omega. i could lean condescendingly on his tiny fucking head. maybe he would have been more willing to give eggman another chance if they hadn't shrunk all his rage into a 4-foot frame. im choosing to believe also this is why he's a solid 50% heavier than gamma as well. dude is compact. dude is DENSE. and he is so very full of guns and rage. i dont know what the doctor expected

[nonbinary-sticks-the-badger]

too many non-sonic fans whove watched the films say they dont like tails' voice i need to murder them

edit: just in case anyone finds this in the wild with no context this is lighthearted its like 2 people i know irl

[egg-emperor]

nothing beats beer right from the bottle on a gaming night with the boys

especially while playing the GOAT 💜

Shadow and Eggman agreed to play it together, only if Shadow played all the best- the Eggman missions!

Liking shadouge and finding it cute, but also greatly valuing their deep platonic bond, something that can be hard to come by in media, and how rouge's relationship with her best friend is undeniably more important to her character and die-hard than her dynamic with her romantic interest.

[venomousautism]

I am cringe.. but I am free

[veloriium]

you can really see who my favorite character is in this

[halloweenorangesoda]

is the world ready for one sided sonadow where sonics default state is being nice + enjoying competition and regards shadow as he would any threat/ally/friend, but for shadow sonic has flipped his entire world upside down

[sonknuxadow]

jesus christttt im not surprised at all to hear that the knuckles series focuses on wade and other human characters a lot i saw this coming a mile away with how almost all the news we were getting before the trailer came out was about the human characters/actors and not about knuckles (or sonic or tails or any other animated characters) but the fact that somebody calculated how many minutes of screentime knuckles has and it came out as LESS THAN HALF OF THE ENTIRE SERIES' RUNTIME when the series is NAMED after him is ridiculous. after this show comes out wade will likely have more screentime and overall plot relevance in the entire scu than tails does. did they actually think wade is a popular enough character for people to be down with this. what the fuck

[tboyblaze]

this is the hardest decision i've ever had to make

Mutual Understanding

pairings: Shadow the Hedgehog x reader (platonic)

warnings: sonic 3 spoilers, mentions of death, trauma bonding lol!!!

summary: as the assistant in training for Stone, you’re tasked with keeping an eye on the black and red haired hedgehog

a/n: just watched sonic 3, I love it so much I immediately wrote this as soon as I got home, please enjoy and go watch it as soon as possible (I LOVE YOU SHADOW AUAGHH)

You watched as Stone left the Crab, running a quick errand so he could finish the suits he was making for Robotnik and his grandfather Gerald. You had a strange feeling about him and you could tell Stone did too but as assistants all you could do was brush it aside.

As Stone left you looked towards your right, Shadow stood near you his eyes staring at where your mentor was standing only moments ago, before his head tilted to glance at you. His eyes scanned you, as you scanned him back, you knew what he was capable of, you were warned but you couldn’t help but keep looking.

Shadow held his gaze on you before he turned away, looking at the television still playing in the background, the telenovela now capturing his attention.

You watched him as he stared ahead. Deciding you had nothing else to do, you sat down on the floor, not daring to get near Dr Robotniks chair, knowing he’d notice if it was moved even a centimeter. A sigh escaped your lips as whatever was going on in the strange show kept going on, you tried to get into it but it felt too generic for you.

“Why are you here,” Was the first thing you’d heard him say. You perked up at his sudden question, this was the first time since you’d met him that shadow had talked to you.

“What?” You asked him, curious as to what he meant.

He looked back at you, no longer paying attention to the show, “I asked why are you here”

You slightly raised a brow still somewhat confused, “Well I’m uh- an apprentice here so it’s like kinda my job?” You shrugged at the hedgehog, slightly raising your arms.

Shadow didn’t seem satisfied with your answer. The room settled into an uncomfortable silence as Shadow continued to just stare at you.

Nervously you glanced around the room, not out of fear but just confusion as to what he even meant.

“Are you alone?”

“What.” You asked, deadpanning at the straightforward question, “Obviously not-“

“No” Shadow cut you off, “Why are you with them?”

You knew who he was referring to, Stone and Robotnik. Obviously they weren’t your parents, it was easy to see from the way they treated you. Stone was kind but he wasn’t very parental, he was more of a teacher. Robotnik was definitely not parental, he was more like a demanding boss who didn’t give his workers equal pay.

“They’re all I have,” you bluntly responded to the hedgehog, as you slowly brought your legs closer to you.

Noticing the uncomfortable feeling you were getting Shadows gaze somewhat fell, maybe it was empathy or something else that you couldn’t quite understand.

Nervously you fiddled with the necklace around your neck, a two little star emblems given to you by your late mother.

Shadows eyes widened, he stepped closer to you trying to get a glimpse at the necklace. You looked up at him, an arm around your legs, the other gripping the necklace tight.

“You like?” You asked him, noticing how his legs uncontrollably moved him closer to you. His gaze was still fixed on it, as if he was remembering, “My mom gave this to me before she passed, she loved the stars, I do too honestly.”

He slowly sat down in front of you, both of you now looking at each other. Slightly noticing his distress you hesitantly took off the necklace, passing it to him so he could get a closer look. You knew he wouldn’t take it, of course you’d just met him but it felt as if you two had known each other before.

The necklace was silver, it was nicely kept; obviously cleaned regularly although it was a bit too small for you by now but that didn’t seem to stop you from wearing it. On it were two stars, one big star and another smaller star, it looked as if they were shining, but one was brighter than the other.

“A light still shines even though the star is gone,” You mumbled looking at the necklace in Shadows hands. His gaze quickly snapped up, his usual angry demeanor faltering to show a small look of shock.

“What?..” Shadow asked, as he looked between you and the necklace.

You laid on your back, your knees up letting out a sigh, “It’s just, you know something I like to say when I think about her,”

Shadow got up from his sitting position, he walked over to your side, handing you the necklace back as he laid down next to you. There were no stars inside the Crab, just a bunch of machine and technology that you truly didn’t understand half of.

There was a comfortable silence now, as you two laid down next to each other; Shadow sighed, for the first time it sounded like he was free, like the demons from his past were no longer attacking his every thought.

He turned his head to look at you, “You remind me of her,”

Snapping out of your trance you looked back at him, eyebrows slightly raised, “Who?” You asked, your tone soft as to not startle him.

His gaze was, soft, no longer angry at the world, maybe at himself, you really couldn’t tell, “Someone I used to know a long time ago,”

You let out a hum of acknowledgment, “She sounds nice,” you said, looking back towards the roof of the contraption.

Shadow still looked at you, you were no Maria, but you made him rethink; that maybe, maybe the world isn’t as bad as he thought it was, maybe there were people worth saving.

“She was.”

[thebadevil]

Stone being just as competent as Robotnik is so important to me. He took over the Mean Bean by himself, he's a badass on a motorcycle, he singlehandedly rescued Robotnik in the aftermath of sonic 2, he took down a bunch of badniks in a few seconds. Stone could easily be his own boss and do his own thing, or demand that Robotnik treat him more as an equal rather than a subordinate but he doesn't. He's completely fine with being a henchman and even takes pride in it. I think it just emphasizes how much he loves Robotnik. He doesn't need to stay with him because its the closest he'll get to power, he's skilled enough on his own to do villain stuff if he wanted, he needs to stay because he loves him and Robotnik needs him. this is all stuff we already knew but i think it'd be less powerful if Stone was the typical dumb henchman stereotype. he is just as deserving of power as Robotnik is but he chooses to take a step back, to let him have the spotlight, to let him feel safer in a position of power, to just help Robotnik achieve his goals and his dreams. im never getting over these two am i?
