Did this land me in a bunch of hot water, both literally and metaphorically? Yes. Would I do it again for the bit? Without hesitation, yes.

Continuity Families

Sonic can also be split into continuity families in addition to distinct continuities:

SegaSonic/SoJ continuity family: This series is closest to the games as how they were developed in Japan. The setting is Earth, which happens to have stuff like anthropes with superpowers.

1) Sonic Team games 2) Non-Sonic Team titles (except for the ones in the Boom family below). These are the closest to “apocrypha” for the games as opposed to something new. 3) Sonic X tv series 4) Sonic X comics (serve as “apocrypha” for the TV series) 5) Shogakugan “Sonic the Hedgehog” Manga series (consisted of several distinct Manga) 6) Dengeki Manga 7) Dash and Spin; Super Fast Sonic 8) Shogakugan “Adventures of Sonic” Manga series 9) Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (here due to Robotnik’s portrayal and references to the first two games more than anything.) I believe this may be more of an island continuity, however. 10) Ladybird Books (while ostensibly set in the Fleetway family, the events shown feel very much like they fit in the game world instead) 11) Sonic OVA 12) Upcoming IDW Sonic comic 13) Sonic and the Tales of Deception Book

SatAM/SoA Family

The setting is a planet called Möbius, revealed as a post-apocalyptic Earth in the pre-reboot Archie and in SatAM ideas. It is unclear if this applies in the other members of this family or if Möbius is a constructed world instead. Robotnik is generally a deadly threat in these.

1) Sonic the Hedgehog TV series 2) Sonic Underground TV series 3) Archie comic (pre-reboot). Note that the early issues were more like AOSTH. 4) Archie comic (post-reboot). A bit of a strange hybrid between the SatAM family and the SoJ family, that leans a little more here due to the backstory. Could also be seen as an island continuity. 5) Michael Teitelbaum books and Troll Associates books. 6) The original Sonic book from Troll Associates (more self-contained, with Chuck turned to normal and Robotnik defeated) 7) Ken Penders’s unproduced Sonic feature film 8) SegaWorld Sonic musical (s)

Fleetway family

Set on Mobius, either a planet in a galaxy somewhat distant from ours or a full-blown constructed realm.

While Robotnik is a dark menace, he still cracks egg-puns. There is typically tons of British humor, and it’s VERY strong on the puns and surrealism.

1) Sonic Bible, SoA/SoE document 2) Stay Sonic 3) Sonic the Comic 4) Virgin Books/Martin Adams novels 5) Fantail “Choose-your-own-Adventure” Books 6) French Sonic Adventures (La Sirene). More or less an island continuity, but the European origin and surrealism put it here. 7) “News of the World” comic strip

Sonic Boom Family

The newest family, set on a nondescript planet. Eggman is a complete joke. Focused on comedy, often at expense of action.

1) Legacy era “self-contained bubbles” (Izuka claims the games are now self-contained bubbles). 2) Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric 3) Sonic Boom Tv series 4) Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal 5) Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice 6) Sonic Boom Comics 7) Sonic Boom Toyline (included due to the higher action focus, plus silly things like “Metallic Sonic”.

Unclear

Either things that have so little clear about them, or stuff that may or may not be a continuity at all. An equivalent to “Iocus” from Transformers

1) 2019 movie 2) Pense Bem Sonic books from TecToy 3) Sonic Social Media 4) Energie Verwenden Statt Verschwenden comic from Austria

Any I missed?

Edit: D'oh! I forgot the OVA. Added it.

Edit 2: I discluded the Sonic X novelizations that don’t add anything new

Edit 3: It has come to my attention that this list is very (sub?) Linnean and outdated, hence why I had some split opinions about grouping the continuities in certain groups, such as the post-reboot Archie. Might have to do a cladistic version eventually.

victory, but at what cost

We're turning her upside down and shaking cubes out of all those layers in her outfit.

"How have you been, Doctor?" Well, see, there's demons in the sky, demons in the sea, demons in the rice fields, demons in the north pole, demons in the south pole, demons in the weird not-space between dimensions, and at this point probably demons haunting my scheduling app. Can't have shit on Terra.

doctor: consider the sphere

Alright.

[cogitxtio]

Where did you find the updog? I haven't seen one around in a bit.

We have returned!

We apologize for disappearing for so long! After joining Reunion for a free sword, our commander sent us on a mission to collect a gallon of headlight fluid, two tubes of elbow grease, and an updog!

Unfortunately, the commander seems to have died while we were gone and nobody else has any record of us joining! So, we are a Free Agent now!

If anybody needs the supplies we found and is hiring, let us know!

[cogitxtio]

It's pride month, Doctor.

You know what that means.

Someone's jealous that they didn't get to try the limited-edition egg yolk chocolate bar.

(psst. hey, you're from the logistics branch with the weird looking desk plant, right? how do I get back on the illicit snack trade?)

Dylan(@ri-badguypilot)

First off , you don’t get to talk about Chris like that he’s been with my squad as long as anyone can remember and is a valued and respected member of the team in spite of the fact that he’s a unusually shaped succulent.

As for the snack trade, if your looking to buy knock three times on the door in deck 10 labeled 7004

If you’re looking to sell stop by my desk around lunchtime tomorrow and look for yellow.
