Ooooookay I admit I'm a sucker for cross dress episodes that are tasteful/done well. And with that a sucker for cute boys in pretty clothes that go ding ding when they move X'DDD Girls in pretty clothes is a thing too, but then I'd have to draw boobs and I'd rather not |P

I started watching Sonic Underground.... for reasons I cant remember, and ittttt's actually not as terrible as I remember X'D The character designs are still horrid, and there's definitely some ugly dated stuff in there when it comes to other cultures. But the cross dress episode surprised me because I think the boys handled the situation very well. No complaints, all compliments to each other, and just vibing doing a job =u= I liked it enough that I gave into my like of drawing belly dancer clothes and doodled them while trying to adapt Happ's version into it.

Also enjoy this dumb lil meme snippet I wrote along with this.

“I still don’t understand how you’re better at this than Sonia,” Manic admitted with a chuckle, trying not to stare at the eye liner brush coming towards his eye.

“Experience,” Sonic answered simply from where he was sitting on Manic’s belly while he was laying on the floor, trying to get him not to move. “Now look up and stop moving- I said look up, not straight at the brush.”

Sonic was amused, but Manic was more worried about getting his eye stabbed. “Shouldn’t you worry about your own makeup?” Manic tried to defer, fidgeting nervously.

“Mine won’t take as long,” Sonic countered, giving a small sigh and giving up on being patient, free hand reaching up to grab Manic’s cheeks to hold him still. It would have been incredibly funny to watch him immediately squint as soon as the brush touched his eyelid, but the time crunch made it a little hard to enjoy. Getting Manic’s quills to lay flat had taken way longer than expected.

“Can’ yu jush s’per sp’d it?”

Okay that earned a small snort.

“Sure, if you don’t mind the burn of something zipping across your face extremely fast,” Sonic teased, grinning. “Close your eyes now.”

That was at least a little easier. Not being able to see the strange soft torture instrument coming allowed Manic to try to relax. “Yeah, no thanks,” he agreed, still flinching at each touch of the strangely cold feeling ink. “...This feels disgusting,” he complained after Sonic finished lining both eyes.

Sonic just chuckled again. “Sure does! But we’ll both look awesome. And unrecognizable. So deal with it. I’ll let you roll in the mud once we get the others back if you want.”

Manic snorted at the offer, feeling like that would be the opposite of what he would want. But who knew. Maybe a good mud bath would help him feel more like himself after all this dolling up. It was hard to not try to rub the makeup off his face. But it was a little impressive to watch Sonic put makeup on himself once he was done tormenting his brother. Smooth, practiced swoops with the eyeliner, not even looking at the mirror at some points. Dabbing his cheeks rapidly into a perfect blush. Tracing his lips with a different brush. At least the fake eyelashes didn’t look like something he was used to wearing.

True to Sonic’s word though, when he was done Manic had a hard time recognizing either of them. Something made incredibly apparent when he stepped closer to his brother and caught sight of his own reflection from the corner of his eye, jumping in startle and whipping around to look at it.

“What?” Sonic questioned, immediately concerned.

“I thought someone else was here,” Manic wheezed, breaking into a laugh as he put a hand over his racing heart, sagging.

Sonic just laughed aloud as well, taking that as a compliment on his work.

miss them actually

Manic: Hey! My handsome, nice, quick-witted, inspiring brother--! Sonic: How much do you want? Manic: 500. Sonic: What?? Manic: It’s not for something bad. It’s just that Mom has some overdue house payments and since it belongs to all of us, we thought the four of us could pitch in. Sonic: The four of us? Why should I give anything if I don’t even live in that house since I was eleven? Manic: Because Dad left it to you too, nonetheless. Sonic: Oh, great. Messing with me even from the grave. What a guy. Well, I’m not giving a cent. Manic: So can I have your square metres? Sonic: Do whatever you want. Manic: Will you give me money so I can buy them from you? Sonic: Stop asking for money! I’m not giving anything, okay? Not to you, not for anything. Manic: Okay, no money… But can Mom come live here until the renovations are done? Sonic: What? What renovations? Wasn't the problem that she was behind on the house payments? Manic: Where do you think that money went? Sonic: I don’t want that woman here. So, go tell her. Manic [hands him the phone]: You tell her. Though with how loud you’re yelling, she’s probably already heard you. Sonic [grabs the phone angrily]: I’m not yelling, alright?! Shadow [enters the living room with Tails]: Why are you yelling so much? Manic: Tails, sweetie, do you want to meet your mama hedgehog? Tails: No. Every time she calls, Sonic cries. I hate her. Sonic: Don’t drag Tails into this! Buddy, go to your room. Tails [nudges Shadow]: You better start preparing yourself mentally, 'cause you’re gonna be the emotional support plushie tonight. He’s gonna fall apart. Bernie [on speakerphone]: Just listen to how the child talks about me. Is that the image you’re giving of your mother? You’ll cry when I’m gone. Sonic: I cry with you still here! Didn’t you hear the kid?! Manic: There, there she goes again with the dying thing! That’s why I left. Shadow: That, and because you wanted to scam your brother. Manic: Both things can be true.

happy father's day 🤘

More people's fics should have them all being extra gay and stupid tbh

[sundooisagoose]

Some Sonic but he’s royalty maybe au doodles

silly close ups I like

Mostly Manic (I’m enamored by him rn gimme a couple weeks) but here’s some random lore for the people who think this is interesting

Sonic ran away from his family at a young age, both to protect them and to preserve his mental health

Sonic had a hard time actually forming words, so he used sign language until he met Tails. None of his bio family (besides Manic but I’ll get to that) have heard his voice

Sonic’s bio fam run a very private kingdom that basically knows everyone. They don’t like getting involved with others and it’s incredibly difficult to move there because the citizens are skeptical of anyone going in or out

trying to leave the kingdom being royalty is a very big no no for the royal family. Mainly because it’s seen as “omg they’re abandoning us” to the citizens

Amy used to live in the same kingdom as Sonic, leaving to find him when it was announced he had went missing in order to maybe have some higher status (she also had a crush on him, but ANYWAYS-)

‘she later found out how much better Sonic was living, and decided to stay with him instead of trying to convince him to go back (they have both agreed to never speak about his past)

Manic helped Sonic run away with the exchange that Sonic had to stay in contact to tell Manic abt his adventures. They chat every Sunday (unless Shit goes DOWN with Sonic)

‘Manic understands why Sonic wanted to run away, and is very respectful of his privacy (he got away with his secret for 15 years)

Queen Aleena retired (don’t ask me how she just did) and the first thing Sonia does as queen is go out to find her long lost brother because he’s all over the news, but it’s super difficult cuz Manic is chatting to Sonic behind her back lmao

that’s all the things I wanna share, feel free to ask about this idm and it helps me make more doodles

[dolo-koss]

I watch sonic underground and I found it entertaining.

I wanted to draw the triplets no longer canonical, with a version where they share the hair color as sibs because it seems more logical to me, although I know they were different to differentiate them even more back then.

Meet Farrell.

The Mobian who can get you anything, despite Robotnik's rules. He raised Manic and runs the black market as the king of thieves.

“can you emancipate your siblings”

[karasucatt]

Manic knew Sonic was gay before Sonic did

[creativriot]

Idk some fun idea I came up with simply because they’re both ~gween~

EDIT: for everyone asking “what about Sonia?” I don’t know this was just a doodle I didn’t think I’d get this far 😭

[aealzx]

Random thought I had that actually made it to drawing.

Manic has unusual life goals.
