So awhile ago I talked about how Sonic’s quills spike when surprised etc., but now I want to talk about the spines themselves. Hedgehog spines are actually super cool. They can be quite flexible due to how humid they are. Less humid quills are more brittle but still strong while more humid quills can have some give and bend. Quills can also freely bend and move in many directions thanks to the tipped bulbs in the hedgehog’s skin.
I took a video of Thistle to show how movable quills really are on a hedgehog.
So pictures of Sonic’s quills like this
And even Shadow’s one idle animation is pretty accurate to real hedgehog spines.
Spines are also built to stay in a hedgehogs body unlike porcupines which can detach. A hedgehog spine is so strong you can pick up a hedgehog by single spine and it won’t detach. A single spine can also withstand and bend against up to 200 times the force that would crush it. One scientist noted that he’d never seen a hedgehog with a broken or dulled quill. (Hedgehog quills can be cut from lawn mowers or hedge trimmers so always be careful and aware if you live near wild hedgehogs.)
While spines are used against predators they are also used for shock absorption. When a hedgehog is completely curled up their spines will absorb incredible amounts for force from falls from trees or high areas.
One study showed, “quills protected from a fall at 15m/s. Despite the velocity at impact, the animal survives unscathed due to the shock absorbing capabilities of its spines, which buckle under the load.” Because of this people have been studying hedgehog spines to better make helmets to protect people from concussions and head injuries.
Sonic’s drop dash could protect Sonic from large falls. (Too bad he mostly lands on his face lol)
One scientific paper I recently read did a study on the durability of hedgehog quills against repeated high velocity impact blows. It concluded that while low humidity quills were better at absorbing shock, repeated impact blows weakened the durability and broke the brittle quills. While more humid quills absorbed less shock but remained more durable and survived the repeated impacts with less damage. They said more tests would have to be done because most people only studied the strength of one quill and not all the quills working together like theirs did. But that their test may not be entirely accurate since they could not fully replicate the hedgehog’s skin/muscles working with the spines against the blows. As the bulb tip on a hedgehog's quills protect their skin from the quills being stabbed back into them after falls or hits.
But the results concluded that, “in certain conditions, Hedgehog spines can absorb as much, if not more, than industry standard impact-absorbing foam.”
Just makes me wonder how strong Sonic’s quills are as he uses his to break robots at high speeds. But him using his quills to protect himself while also using them to attack is pretty smart.

Rules of nature
Daryl Dixon x Reader
Daryl gets hurt on a simple hunting trip and reader patches him up.
You waved Daryl off with Hunter on your arm. You learned last time that having him stand next to you as his dad walked through the gate was a bad idea, having to pry him off Daryl's leg with way more effort thsn you both hoped. This time everything went way smoother and you were walking back home soon after the gate was closed.
Daryl walked until the gate was no longer visible, heading out to one of his personal stash boxes to hide his clothes in as he shifted for the hunt.
He made his rounds and quickly found a deer big enough to be his only catch and he'd be satisfied. He treaded lightly, staying low to the ground and making sure he stayed out of the deer's view. The greenery he stalked through was thick and his most of his figure well, he couldn't even see his own frontpaws.
He had the deer right where he wanted it and readied himself to jump. He lowered hhis body, legs positioned right, stepped in to jump and howled out in pain.
The second he put his front paw forward to jump he had hit something and was hit with a sharp pain through his whole jaw and muzzle.
He hit a porcupine. Daryl was so focused on the deer he hadn't sniffed out the creature hidden in the overgrown forest plants. As soon ashe ducked down and his paw hit the animal it jumped. The sharp quills on its back piercing akin and detaching from the smaller animal that now ran for its life as the large predator was distracted by the pain.
The deer was long forgotten as he tried to pull out the quills that got stuck in his face but his large paws couldn't get a grip. They were staying in.
With that came the problem of not being able to shift back into his human form, so whatever he hunted had to be dropped off near the gate in hopes someone would find it before it rotted, and a group was soon traveling so he could get help with his problem.
He shook out his fur, hoping hs'd dislodge some of the quills but only hurting himsslf more in the process. His loud whine surely scaring off any game nearby.
His best option now was to head off to a different location and try to catch something small for himeself to eat. Even a single fish would be enough for now but it was getting dark already and he mentally cursed at himself for being so careless and getting hurt. He'd prefer going home to you now with the disappointing news of having no food than wait, get help and shift back.
He'd risk it if he knew who was on the lookout shift right now, if he guessed wrong and an Alexandrian sas him come out of the treeline he'd be shot on sight.
His only option now was find food. He had go keep up his strength if he had to stay shifted, he needed to eat something.
Sticking to the lower greenery now he spotted a bird on a low branch. He could get it if he stayed low up til his jump point. He pounced and managed to catch it between his jaws, hurting himself so bad in thr process he ruined his landing and dropped hard on his side. The bird pressed into the spines that pierced through his lip and even the smallest bit of pressure hurt too much so chewing was out of the question.
He put up his best effort to pluck the bird clean in small bits, but he tore more to shreds then he left to eat. Werewolves and delicate handlings did not go hand in hand..
If he couldn't eat he'd have to sleep to conserve energy. He made his way up a sturdy tree, he'd stalk out to the main roads in the morning.
Sunrise woke him up, hopping out of the tree and slowly making his way to the roads. With his rumbling stomach he had no chance of finding and snacking on something in the meantime, but it made staying away from walkers a lot more difficult. On his way he had to fight some off, getting his hindleg caught on a vine in the process and having to limp the rest of the way after killing the walkers.
Now he was hungry and hurt even worse. He really needed someone to find him. His hid in the treeline, laying down and keeping his ears open for any sign of cars and horses, but when the sun was up at its highest he still hadn't seen anyone.
The sunlight was harsh, it warmed his fur but only made him more thirsty over time.
He waited and waited, nightfall coming and going. The sounds of crickets filled the air and he dreamed of snatching some off the greenery with how hungry he was.
Another morning came and he still hadn't seen anyone, growing desperate and worried about his family. He promised to be back soon as always but had been stuck out there for way longer than he had hoped. He needed to get home.
He'd have to hide as much as he could, but set out to the gate anyways. Staying low and out of sight was hard enough on his empty stomach, and the racing anxiety he had over who would be on watch made focusing even harder.
He made it to the abandoned houses undetected and got a glance at the watch.
Rosita.
A relieved huff left him as he stepped onto the road and kept his eyes on her, earning a shocked gasp before she disappeared. The sounds of her going down the stairs rung in his ears before the gate was shoved open and she came running to his aid. "Holy crap, Daryl! What happened to you?" He could only whine in response as she led him through the gate, for which she was met with quite the resistance from the original Alexandrians.
"This is outrageous!" Screamed onw woman, as a man followed up. "Anyone can just go around and break rules now?"
"I thought we made it clear we don't want that monster in here." The commotion had summoned Abraham, who easily shot down each and every comment as he helped Daryl home and up the porch steps.
There was a knock on the door just as you came downstairs. You weren't expecting anyone, but in this world that meant nothing anymore. You saw the blurred image of Abraham through the glass and opened the door for him.
"Hi, what bri-- Oh my god." You sank to your knees opun seeing your partner. Careful not to touch the spines stuck in his face you went to carress his fur, tears flowing freely without a care who saw them.
"Need anything from the doc? Gimme a list and I'm off." You thanked the man but shook your head no, having everything you needed in the house.
It was a sad scene, watching Daryl limp inside and lay down on the large rug in the middle of the living room.
He listened to your steps going into the kitchen and rummaginf through the cabinets. Then a metal object being filled with water, and then the clattering of tools.
"Relax, baby. I'm on my way." You held the bowl of water as steady aa possible, setting it down next to your injured partner. He looked horrible, so tired and weak.
You took some kichen towels, not wanting to waste time by running up to the bathroom. It was clear in his eyes how much he was hurting, if you didn't have to patxh him up yourself you'd probably cry your eyes out.
"I'm sorry, this is gonna hurt.." he watched as you picked up tongs and placed them around a single quill, close to Daryl's skin and pulled it out. He yelped in response and you apologised profusely, bending down to press a kiss to his forehead as you continued to pluck the quills from his chin. His soft whines continuing throughout the process. "I know, I know. But you'll be all good when it's over."
With all the quills removed from his lower jaw you moved on to his snout, carefully lifting his lip to see which ones had pierced all the way through.
"Alright, I'm gonna pull these ones out from the inside, it should hurt less." With one hand holding his lip up you pulled the quill through in one smooth motion, this time earning a less hurt reaction from Daryl. "See? That was a lot less bad!" Your little cheer only made him roll his eyes at you, but still moved his paw to squeeze your thigh in thanks.
You let out a soft laugh. "Don't thank me yet, we still got some left and those look deep." With a soft rub on his ear you continued, taking out the ones from the inside of his lip first before methodically moving from his nose towards the back of his jaw. There were some that got stuck crooked and dug deep, needing a strong pull and got a loud cry out of him each time. "Yeah, I'm not so nice anymore now huh." You frowned at his hurt expression, wanting nothing more than to cuddle him but his wounds were barely healing due to his malnutrition.
With a quick kiss to his forehead you got up and dug through the fridge for you dinner meats, handing them over. "Can you chew?"
He tried a piece and winced as he bit down, the pressure hurting the punctures.
So that was a no.
You went back to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and cutting board, chopping up the meat into small pieces Daryl could swallow whole. He instantly ate and hummed in satisfaction, slowly feeling the skin on his face knit back together and feel the muscle in his leg tingle as it healed.
Even after all the time you had spent with him, you still watched him heal in awe.
"Can you walk?" You watched Daryl as he slowly sat up, testing the strength of his legs and noddig as he kept up his weight. "You should go rest in bed while I go pick up Hunter from Rick's place and see if I can get some extra meat." You made sure he got up the stairs in one piece and rested in the bed before heading back downstairs and out.
Retrieving Hunter was an easy job, having him jump up in your arms as soon as he saw you at the door. You made sure to thank Rick and Michonne again for letting him sleep over and play with Judith.
Your trip to the pantry took a little longer than planned with Hunter insisting on paddin along with you on his little legs, but in the end you succeeded in getting an extra ration of meat for dinner.
Back home you dumped the meat in the fridge and wasted no time getting back up thr stairs with Hunter hot on your heels as he sniffed out his dad. He even made it past you and beat you to the bedroom, climbing onto the bed and crawling between Daryl's arms and nuzzled against his chest.
"Ahw, hey.. that's where I wanted to go." There was a soft murmur before Daryl moved and took Hunter in one arm, moving to make space for you.
With you against his chest and Hunter against yours it was clear you weren't going anywhere until dinnertime.
But that was fine. No matter who came fhrough that door, you were going to spend today in bed making sure your partner healed and rested enough to shift back.

Idk about yall but illuminations make the cutest fucking models ever. In fucking existence.
I’ve actually mainly only watched 2 different types of movies they made (minions and despicable me are the same series and then sing)
You guys can’t tell me the minion models (ESPECIALLY THE MAIN THREE KEVIN, STEWART AND BOB) aren’t fucking adorable. Idc how many Facebook moms use them for HORRIBLE memes but god DAMN IT.
Also gru as a child. Coke on. His model + his voice is fucking adorable. And I hate kids.
Need I say anything? Buster, Porsha, johnny, Rosita, ash, gunter and hell even crawly are cute (the best being buster porsha and Rosita)
I hate porcupines, pigs, koalas and gorillas looks. Hate them. But illuminations has the ability to make these things I HATE into something adorable af.
Now thinking of it I think illuminations made me like gorillas and koalas looks (especially baby koalas omfg). I always say koalas are like the pugs of the tree dwellers, so ugly that they’re cute.
I used to think koalas second thumb looked weird but growing up is realizing koalas and their silly hands are fucking cute‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Also Nooshy. I just love lynx.
#buster moon#sing 2016#sing 2021#furry#sing movie#sing buster moon#sing 2#sing 1#porsha crystal#johnny sing#ash sing#rosita sing#gunter#miss crawly#illuminations#illumination can make the ugliest things into the cutest things ever known to man kind‼️

It's been so long,
Years have gone,
Since I belonged,
Hold me please,
Stay with me,
And I will sleep,
I will go now,
But I will be with you,
Hold my gaze,
Hold me inside you.

𝐔𝐃𝐌𝐓𝐏 𝐀𝐔 𝐌𝐮𝐳𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
ℛℰ𝒬𝒰ℰ𝒮𝒯ℰ𝒟
Lately, Muzan has been bringing in small and large animals inside the Infinity Castle and the UpperMoons noticed. Muzan would often go out (while supervised) and climb trees to reach birds and squirrels or walk around until he found an animal. Some of the animals he brought back with him were dangerous such as porcupines, cats that were infected with rabies, and sometimes even raccoons.
𝐃𝐚𝐤𝐢
She would beam at Muzan when she saw him bring in another animal
They both acted like little kids while they played around with the animals Muzan brought in that day
When it was Daki’s turn to watch over him outside, she would look for animals with him, they treated it like a scavenger hunt
They both would come back with arms full of critters that the others would have to take back outside since they were nervous that they would bite them
Muzan and Daki would use some of Daki’s hair accessories to give the critters a little makeover
𝐆𝐲𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨
Gyutaro thought it was unsanitary for Muzan to be messing around with dirty creatures from outside
He would always make sure that Muzan would wash his hands after playing with the creatures and Gyutaro would confirm that the animals were not infected with something before letting Muzan around it
Gyutaro acted like a protective father to his sister and Muzan, he was cautious of the animals that Muzan brought in (he would eliminate those animals if they did anything to either of them)
When Gyutaro would watch over Muzan, he would scout the area to ensure that nothing deadly was around before letting Muzan run around
Gyutaro didn’t understand what was so fun about bringing in wild animals that could potentially have infections but he was just glad that Muzan was excited and happy
𝐆𝐲𝐨𝐤𝐤𝐨
He thought it was a fun idea and would join Muzan most of the time
Every animal Muzan found would give Gyokko inspiration for a new paint theme he could use for his pots
He would paint pots with squirrels on them, blue jays, raccoons and whatever other animal Muzan interacted with
Gyokko made sure to have pots lying around in case if he needed to teleport Muzan to a safer location for whatever reason
Yes he was a little worried about Muzan falling ill because of an animal bite or interaction but he also wanted Muzan to be happy and have a fun time
𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐮
He was terrified for both himself and Muzan, he was horrified of the woods and what could be lurking inside
The others would have to physically push Hantengu out the door when it was his turn to watch over Muzan
Every snap and crack would send chills down his spine, he had no idea why Muzan found this exhilarating or entertaining
Hantengu was scared to go near the animals Muzan found, he would try to get Muzan to put it down and run with him
“W-wait! What if the-the animal has rabies and we get sick!” “Put that t-thing down! It has teeth that can bite you know!”
Muzan would sometimes end up being the one who comforts Hantengu since this wasn’t as entertaining for him
𝐍𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐦𝐞
She thought it was adorable of Muzan to enjoy a childish act like this
She would watch him look in the trees and around the bushes until he found a new friend to have fun with
If an animal was going to bring Muzan harm, she would teleport the animal away with the power of her biwa
She couldn’t bear the thought of Muzan getting harmed again, she still felt awful from the last time Muzan was incredibly harmed
Nakime enjoyed watching Muzan interact with the critters, she would often notice him gently caressing or petting the animal and talk softly to them, he was too innocent in her eyes
𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐚
He did not like the idea of Muzan playing with wild dirty animals ONE BIT
The others had to keep telling Akaza that it was okay for Muzana to adore and interact with the animals as long as he was not alone
He would thoroughly scope out the area like five times before letting Muzan wander around
Every animal Muzan saw would be roughly yanked up by Akaza who made sure that it was harmless before letting it down for Muzan
If Akaza ever sensed an animal that was either infected or dangerous, he would immediately dispose of it before it could get within a 15 foot radar of Muzan
Akaza was EXTREMELY overprotective of Muzan, especially after what happened when Muzan came back with gashes and bruises (Akaza’s protectiveness drastically grew)
𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐚
Doma thought it was boring just watching Muzan go into the woods and bring back small critters, there was nothing exciting in Doma’s eyes
Wall that changed when Doma had the bright idea to chase Muzan around the woods, Muzan’s constant screams and cries were enough to get Doma laughing until his sides hurt
After Muzan told the others what Doma was doing, he wasn’t allowed to watch over Muzan anymore which made Doma pout
Doma being Doma, he figured out ways to sneak out of the Infinity Castle and jumpscare Muzan
He would hide in the bushes or in the trees and pop out when Muzan was near
𝐊𝐨𝐤𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐨
He wasn’t comfortable with the idea of Muzan wandering around in the woods so he would be right behind him whenever it was his turn to watch him
If Kokoshibo ever sensed a animal that was either dangerous or infected, he would kill it in an instant in order to protect Muzan
He would closely observe Muzan playing with the animals, he made sure he kept a close eye on the animals to see if they were about to bite Muzan and if they were, he would get it away from Muzan in record speed
Like Gyutaro, he would make sure that Muzan sanitizes after touching the animals and Kokoshibo would ensure that he’s not sick
Kokoshibo was very protective of Muzan and it only doubled after Muzan was attacked so he was extra cautious of the animals in the woods
