Sonic - Hedgehog Biology Headcanons

(These apply to all the hedgehogs, not just Sonic!)

They're insomnicacs, thanks to being a nocturnal species forced into a mostly diurnal society. Whilst there are groups of hedgehogs who choose to live a nocturnal life with others like them, if you want to be part of general society you'll have to flip your sleep schedule.

Sonic's insomnia is even worse thanks to the energy that comes with his super speed; most nights he ends up going for intense long runs just to try tire himself out enough to get to bed. However, after particularly grueling battles, he'll drop light a log any time of day.

Amy makes sure to cover the bags under her eyes each morning, since otherwise diurnal people worry about her. 'This is normal', 'this is just what I look like when I live with you people', she'd tell them. They never listened.

You'd think Shadow would be set, living with a bat and a robot. And he mostly is, with Rouge favouring the cover of darkness anyway. However, he keeps finding himself in situations where he has to flip his sleep schedule to match. Spoonfulls of coffee beans come in handy.

Silver's future is still mostly diurnal, sadly for him. He's mostly managed to cope with it thanks to invented therapies and methods to help him adapt to the lifestyle, so it's always a stark reminder when he heads to the past and sees 'Team Messed Up Sleep Schedules'.

The rest of these will be more quickfire, since I can only fit so many hedgehog-headcannons in one post responsibly. </3 I'd delete the extra detail of the first one to match, but I can't bear to :,,)

When in an intense fight, they instinctivley huff, click, and puff their chests, with quills stood on end. It doesn't always intimidate as intended, it's moreso their violent glares that seals the deal. However, their screaming and hissing can really grate on the ears.

They're all lactose intolerent. Some choose to ignore this fact.

Occasionally they find themselves craving bugs and berries, as well as to hunt them. One of those foods is far more socially acceptable than the other. I'll let you work out which.

Really disgusting foods and smells remind them of poison, and will make them instinctevly self-anoint. Some find this funny to watch/do, but others think it's disgusting and bordeline taboo. Due to the latter, the less 'uncouth' of society mask the urge.

Their eyesight is naturally abysmal. This means that many hoglets will get lazer eye surgery as soon as it's safe, but some use glasses, contacts, or go back to their roots and rely on their ears and nose.

Winters are pretty hard for them, as their body fights to hibernate. Productivity dips in these months, combined with other hibernating people. If they can't get enough sleep, which is likely, they're likely to suffer from seasonal depression. This behaviour also kicks in when exposed to prolonged cold, so most hedgehogs prefer to only go to cold places out of necesity, or for a relaxing holiday.

They can lose their quills for a variety of reasons, including sickness or stress. It took solid days of work to clean the Resistance HQ of shedded pink quills after Amy's duty was over.

You might hear a typical persons stomach rumble when hungry, but hedgehogs will start to chirp. It's a cute noise, so those trying to keep up appearences do their best to stay well fed.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i got lazy in the second panel and didnt feel like coloring or whatever bite me

I have been sketching. So much tma. Here's some expansions on my Jon and Martin designs I've been doing.

Another note I forgor to mention is I love how after hearing Simon go "it's enough to make your hair turn white" about Martin's office in s4 many of us collectively agreed his hair turned white because of his association with the Lonely. The shared consciousness is real and we use it to play hot potato with the communal brain cell dedicated to the sillies.

Closeup of apocalypse boyfriends (also to the person who said they love my s5 Jon's fancy white girl updo: I think about that every day)
