Isn't knuckles a warrior though? He takes pride in his physical strength and thinks with his fists. Hell he made his debut by punching the emeralds out of super sonic with nothing but his deadly fists!

I have… Thoughts about Knuckles being considered a warrior. For one thing the echidna warriors of the past attacked the Emerald shrine, trampled Tikal and the chao, and angered Chaos which lead to the loss of thousands of lives, a massive chunk of the echidna population getting wiped out and them becoming extinct some time after.

Do you really think he would want to associate himself with that? In the Sonic station live he condemns their actions and says “Don’t be like them.” He separates himself from them and their actions. They were against his purpose of a Guardian and got innocents hurt.

Yes Knuckles does take pride in his strength, but he is so controlled in his use of it. Always holding back.

And the knocking sonic out of his super form is way more than a strength thing. I will always be proud of my boy for having such a display of power as his intro but there’s more to it.

He was in the perfect spot and came out of the ground at the perfect time. So he would’ve needed to know Sonic was coming and work out the best position to ambush him from.

Plus my thoughts are that hitting Sonic out of his super form was a Guardian thing. The Master Emerald canonically neutralizes the chaos emeralds so the Guardian being able to knock someone out of their super form makes sense. And with how otherwise unstoppable super forms are a failsafe to stop some one going rogue and causing damage with one would be very good to have.

And people forget how good at traps Knuckles is on his home turf. In his debut game he was consistently getting ahead of sonic and tails and blind siding them with traps. If he was a warrior that just throught with his fists he would have directly attacked them instead of making the island difficult to traverse.

He had every reason to directly attack them. They invaded his home and he thought they were comming for his life’s purpose to use it for evil. And yet he didn’t. Not until they were at the Emerald and Knuckles was out of options. (I may be forgetting a mini boss or something but the fact remains that he mostly uses traps and the environment to stop them)

The only reason I can think of him him not attacking Sonic and Tails sooner is because of his personality! The boy is a sweetheart who holds himself back in fights because he doesn’t want to hurt people! He chose a more passive option because he doesn’t always want to fight. There are lyrics in a few of his songs that confirm this!

I have more thoughts but imma end it here so it doesn’t get to long. (This is why I have ‘ramblings’ as pert of my username)

Doesn't knuckles think with his fists?

Knuckles is someone who prefers the direct solution In something like a fight and he is impulsive with a tendency to jump in without thinking. But he doesn’t just think with his fists.

Like in sa1 he doesn’t immediately believe Eggman that Sonic was the one who broke the Emerald and chooses to go investigate, but when he sees Sonic with the green Emerald hi impulsively takes over and he attacks.

But putting all that aside Knuckles is a lot more intelligent than people realize. He would have to be considering he grew up alone on an island with no one to help him. He would have had to learn everything he knows completely by himself, everything he does being self taught.

There’s more that i can’t think of off the top of my head but yeah, he can be impulsive and act to quickly, but he doesn’t just think with his firsts.

Dread's totally gonna go after Nine, I can feel it

Oh. Oh he will won’t he?

the moment learns where the shards are that fox his going to be a target.

As for how he gets to him. Well he was able to manipulate his crew into thinking Sonic betrayed them. And there was some really good acting from him there. Maybe he’ll find out that the Chaos council has a way to travel between worlds and start working with them.

But I no doubt believe he’s willing to betray them the moment it benefits them. Have a nice inversion of a Knuckles backstabbing an Eggman after a bunch of lies and manipulation.

Knuckles said "I don't need the details just tell me who to smash." when some chaos was going on and Sonic was about to launch into a half hour tale of how they got into this situation, with a great number of exclamation points.

Knuckles was having a perfectly fine relaxing on Angel Island, maybe he was looking into one of the ruins, or cooking up a nice stew but whatever it was he was having a good day.

And then Sonic runs up to him going ‘so we fucked around and found out and now we need your help.’

Knuckles is so done because this keeps happening! The others get themselves into some kind of nonsense at least once a week and by now Knuckles is like ‘nope let’s just get this done so I can get back to my nice day without anyone annoying me.

Idea for the Knuckles series and how it can introduce Amy and simultaneously pull Sonic out of the limelight, so it can focus on Knuckles.

Amy's first act on earth is to break Sonic's legs.

Also Chaos uncontrolled , When your children come from the stars or the Boom SCU crossover fic who's name I cant remember progress update please?

(first of all sorry about not answering the other asks you’ve sent me. I saw them thought ‘that’s interesting I need to think of an answer for that’ and proceeded to get distracted.)

Sonic would be so mad about getting his legs broken and needing to stay still to recover.

as for updates? Not even I know the answer to that one, all of them have the next chapter partially written up, but my brain has a very bad case of “SQUIRREL!” When it comes to ideas and then I’m suddenly catapulted into a new fic idea.

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

My recent headcanon for what is the context of "I don't need the details, just tell me who to smash" applies to is that someone was talking shit about Tails and Knuckles was more than ready to throw hands for everyone's collective baby brother

Love him having scary big bother vibes.

Random guy talking shit about Tails: “Why do I hear boss music?”

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

You are definitely UWU and Crying. (For the 'what kind of fanfic writer am I' meme.)

You write some really adorable tender scenes, and I love how you think regarding Knuckles. I love digging into his psyche and you're fun to chat with on discord (and here) about him.

Hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ Knuckles is so fun to work with, I get so many ideas.

(You’re also a lot of fun to chat to as well, I love seeing you thoughts on things)

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

How do you think games! Knuckles would feel if he saw a stranger in Angel Island hunting the local animals for food(or sport)?

Yeah, they’re gonna have an extremely angry guardian after them. Knuckles sees himself as their guardian to and he’s extremely protective of everything he considers himself a guardian of.

The hunter becomes the hunted as Knuckles tracks them down to throw them off his Island. He’s not going to let anything hurt the creatures under his protection.

And if any of them did get hurt I imagine he would be even more upset and after the hunter was dealt with he would keep them close and look after them until they were back to full health.

Hi :) got any knuckles headcanons? (or sonic hc in general)

Alright, buckle up cuz I’m about to live up to the third part of my name

Knuckles may have a short temper but He’s super chill and calm most of the time, Sonic is just exceptionally good at pressing his buttons.

He may act all rough and tough but he’s a huge softie and once you get to know him you’ll see his kind and gentle side.

he’s so good with small creatures and knows how to restrain his strength so he doesn’t hurt them.

Chao really, really like him. He grew up around them and know how to look after them.

It is not rare for Knux to end up in a pile chao. Especially on colder nights.

Since he can sense chaos he’s able to recognize all of his friends chaos signatures and he can tell exactly who’s on Angel Island. (It is possible for him to miss someone in the same way you can miss someone calling your name if you’re really focused on something)

It also means he gets an early warning for any chaos based moves and attacks.

His strong connection to chaos also leads to him being a target for things like ghosts.

He’s able to sense them, but they’re able to sense him. Malevolent ghosts will attack him first most of the time and ones without any true goal will follow around after him.

Knuckles’ Guardianship starts to apply to the people he cares about and anyone who hurts them will have an angry Guardian to deal with. (But he’s still willing to beat his friends up for fun because that’s a way sonic characters bond.)

He plays the aloof card, but he gets super worried when a friend is injured. Being a protector is a huge part of him and he doesn’t like to see what he protects in danger.

Less of a headcannon and more of an idea I like. (Although, with the Master Emerald this is possible.) But Knuckles with healing powers speaks to me, him being a skilled warrior who most people only see when he’s riled up for a fight, but also a gentle and kind healer that very few people ever get a chance to see.

and the idea of him being a grumpy healer who will yell at you for getting yourself into danger has plenty of entertainment value.

I love it when Knuckles get to have echidna traits. They’re such a cool animal an I think that should be acknowledged. Knuckles has big long claws like a real echidna does perfect for digging.

digging is a relaxing activity for him and he’s accidentally scared his friends many times by popping out of the ground with zero warning.

Also Since he’s an echidna he’s electroreceptive

the first time he was in a modern house he was so confused. He could sense electricity everywhere but no one else had any clue what he was talking about.

thats also another reason why he hates wearing communicators. He’s constantly able to feel electricity moving through it and it feels uncomfortable. (Tails is working on one with a lower electrical output for him)

It also means he’s the go to for finding faulty wiring. Tails just points out a room and asks him if the electricity feels weird.

The Master Emerald raised him and used its power to guide and teach him.

His ability to glide has a level of m.e influence to it. I’m not set on how much, but his gliding working the way it does can’t be 100% natural.

knuckles’ connection with the Master Emerald means that if he chose to fully tap into the Master Emerald’s power he’d have the potential to be one of the most powerful and dangerous creatures on the planet. The Master Emerald has been able to mess with time and space like it was nothing. It breaks the rules of gravity on a daily basis. It can make the chaos emeralds useless.

But Knuckles doesn’t believe the power is his to use and believes he is only there to guard it.

a situation would have to be truly, truly dire for him to choose to wield it.

Okay I still have a lot more than this, but I’m gonna cut it off here before I go on forever.

The ME is Knuckles' mum! No wonder he gets so upset when people try to steal her or use her for evil💎

To Knuckles Taking the M.E away is taking a family member. When he sees the Master Emerald being used in some kind of machine he’s not just seeing chaos energy being misused, he’s seeing his family getting harmed. I wonder if Rouge is aware she’s trying to kidnap his mum when she tries to steal the Master Emerald?

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

If little Knux had super-speed , he'd be fast food!

well if he is a fast little fella hopefully it would help him avoid becoming food in the first place

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

In Tails Tube vid , tails gives Knux a video tablet for communication, and the Echidna smashes it. Lmao

Poor probably feels pretty bad afterwards. I can imagine him having an ‘oops’ moment after he realises what he did
