The Australia Connection

So, not too long ago, it was revealed that DIC had planned to make a fourth Sonic show, and probably the wildest one yet- a show focusing not on Sonic, but a spinoff focusing on his cousins. Said cousins live on an asteroid and solve mysteries while attending high school, and are a part of the school news team.

Yeah, like I said- pretty damn wild. But! One thing to note is that the Asteroid the cousins live on is described as being akin to Australia, and that Sonic's aunt and uncle run a combination diner/repair depot. And this got me to thinking of the origins of Sonic... and why Mobius was denied the glory of Pub Rock.

What am I getting at?

Well, Sonic's earliest given origins have him as a native of a place called Christmas Island. Christmas Island in the real world is an Australian territory.

Why is that significant? Well, you now who else is an Australian? Or rather, a 'Downundan'? Vector the Crocodile!

Yep, in Archie Sonic #212 Vector was revealed to have originally been a native of Downunda, Mobius' version of Australia, and his current accent was the result of covering up his natural one. Why is that significant, you ask? Because once upon a time, Vector was in a band with Sonic.

And thus, the origin comes together-

Sonic was originally born on Christmas Island, while his extended family lived on the mainland. When he had time he'd visit said family, and gradually met with other musically inclined youngsters and started up a band. Using his uncle's diner as a venue, Sonic and the gang would get their start performing for his aunt and uncle's customers, and even managed to make a small name for themselves.

Aaand then it all went to shit when THIS guy showed up.

You can probably guess the rest- Sonic's burgeoning career as a rock star comes to a sudden and crashing end as Eggman's attack prompts him to fight back, leading him to becoming a globetrotting hero as he thwarts the doc's schemes to conquer the planet. Over the years, Sonic's accent fades into something more 'continental', though occasionally flares up when he's particularly peeved...

Likewise, the rest of the band is scattered to the four winds. Vector eventually re-settles in the United Federation and becomes a detective, where his original Australian/Downundan accent gives way to a Federation accent. The rest of the band, Mach, Max and Sharps, eventually turn their fortunes around when they join with an up-and-coming pop singer called Mina Mongoose, and become part of the band the Forget Me Knots.

And that's the story of how because of Robotnik, Mobius never got its own version of AC/DC, and thus Sonic became a hero to the world rather than a rock legend. And also he is evidently the Mobius version of an Australian.

So what does this all mean? It means I have too much time on my hands, is what it means. But I do hope you all get something out of this crack-pipe spawned idea.

(I must also make the disclaimer that the real world island that inspired the Christmas Island idea was in fact the island of Kiritimati, a pacific island used for nuclear testing by the US and UK. But still, I'm attached to the Australia thing, so there!)

Can you backflip?

Max: Oh heck yeah, I can do a back flip!!

Mach: Uh Max remember what happened last time. We got lucky Ash could take over for that concert.

Max: Yeah , yeah. But this time I can do it and what bossy mongoose doesn't know won't hurt right.

Mach I-I guess..

Max Right here we go!~

-----------------------------

Max: *Laying in a hospital bed with a sling on his arm.*........

Sharps: *shaking his head in disappointment*

Mach: I tried to warn him....

Mina: You're very lucky Ash is on a date and we don't have any concerts planned.

‘Quilted Chicken’, gouache on grey paper, 2024 (April)

A painting from yesterday I did of a quilted chicken my partners grandmother made. It’s such a fun and interesting object, I really enjoyed deciding how much detail to render in the fabric strips.

I HATE/LOVE HOW THIS IS SO IN-CHARACTER FOR KICKIN IN THIS AU. He's so overdramatic. I bet he called Dogday for help and the drama just increased x2. The boys are planning an entire war while everyone else is just listening and nodding along.

Angel hearing a whole musical in the background while they make soup like "I hope the kids aren't having a snow war again", and then they come out to check in on them and the screaming goes on for at least twenty minutes as everyone jumps in on them.
