Art for @drones-of-innocence

I've been planning on drawing this scene ever since I read chapter 4 of Drones' story I'll Never Let You Go. I think it's only a minor spoiler? But I'm giving you a heads up just in case. If you haven't read this story yet but like Mario and especially Super Mario Galaxy, you're really missing out!

Here's the art:

You know how much I've been enjoying your story so far, @drones-of-innocence. I hope this illustration does this cute scene at least some justice!

Best to view with this in the background, quite obviously^^

EDIT: Forgot to add the scene I based this on:

"Sitting in her rocking chair with the book in his lap, Mario had dozed off with his head tilted to the side. Luigi had also fallen asleep, but he was sitting on the floor and his head was resting against Mario’s knee. Because of the odd angle his head was resting, Mario’s hat was crooked on his head, but Rosalina knew from the wriggling that Luma was still underneath. Luigi’s hat had fallen on the floor, and a few other Lumas were napping inside. The only sound was the soft breathing of deep sleep and the murmurs of the few Lumas who were still awake." - I'll Never Let You Go Chapter 4 by Drones_of_Innocence

PS. The next fanart I'm posting is going to be super angsty, so everyone brace yourselves ;)

Rosalina Was Always A Princess

Many people have had a problem with Baby Rosalina particularly with the fact that she is depicted as a Princess. Many people have seen this has contradicting the the established canon of Super Mario Galaxy.

However, this is far from the case and as seen in Rosalina's storybook she is clearly wearing her crown the intent was for to have always been a Princess from the start. So Baby Rosalina wearing a crown is not that big of a problem nor does it create a contradiction.

I was in the mood to draw big bro Oreshi and baby bro Bokushi and thought it would be a perfect time to make them all cuddly (loosely based on this post). Hope it heals you as much as it healed me.

Sure, time travel can lead to things getting confusing, particularly with generations retconning classic sonic into a baby sonic.

But the shift from classic to adventure was just an art direction change, not a retcon. Sonic's age and personality didn't change, only his appearance. It was an attempt to remove him from looking too cute like Hello Kitty into something more visually appropriate to aim at teens (which was always the intended audience) yet it still embodied much of the classic's tone and original direction.

But that doesn't suddenly negate the entire basic premise of the lore in this series. The original trilogy had a PLETHORA of lore accompanying it in the game manuals of the time. These manuals were necessary because game limitations back then only allow so much space to fully explain a backstory when it was more important to just dive straight into the game. It frustrates me tho because even without the manuals, you can play the games and see a clear, consistent story being told through them all. It's why this series blew my mind as a child because unlike games like Mario and such, the rich visuals, story and unique personality in Sonic was a stark contrast to what was the norm of the time!

The shift to the Adventure style didn't retcon or upset this at all. It was a natural progression and even up until 06, that storyline stayed consistent throughout. Just because a game maybe was more aimed for babies like Heroes versus a serious story like Shadow the Hedgehog, doesn't mean they're somehow "different continuities". And same for quality. A game being poorer quality then the one preceding it doesn't suddenly make it non-canon!

This is the same issue ppl have towards 06. They hate that game and act like it never happened and use the ending as an excuse except subsequent games afterwards CONSISTENTLY refer back to it. It was never forgotten and the Japanese audiences never once considered it not part of the proper timeline.

The games lore was never always a "mess." It had consistency. It had continuity. It would pick up from where a last game started off. Things Matter! There are a couple of awkward spots like "How in the world did Blaze actually end up in Sonic's dimension but got warped into a princess of the Sol Dimension?" but again, goofs in time travel/dimensional rifts like that don't mean the entire story of the series is suddenly disrupted or dismissed.

The argument that the movies or really, any western adaptation, had "no canon to work off of" is just a big lie. A lie that is so annoyingly passed around as an excuse for any western adaptations that failed to care to build off any of the lore established in the series from the beginning. You literally could even just play the games and figure things out from there!

People claim it's some kind of mess but as a kid who grew up alongside these games and played them, I never got a sense of that. Things made sense to me and it's part of why I love it so much!

Why do people insist that the original Sonic Team's incredible hard work and passionate dedication to this series mean absolutely NOTHING to them to feel inclined to claim there was no story or intentional progression? Why do we dismiss the creative brilliance of this team that made this franchise in the first place? I just don't get why some western fans do this but it seems to only come up when they want to prop up their preferred western version of Sonic, which just....

Open Starters

"Get out of here."

He steps in between them and the other, acting as a human shield. Fists tighten, 3 metallic claws approximately a foot in length on each hand pierce through the skin of his knuckles and extend to a sharp point. "Take this as a warning, bub," he says sternly, head tilting from side to side, cracking his neck. "You have one chance to walk away now."

Open Starters

"What can I say I'm? I'm an agent of chaos. You should try it, it's fun." He says as he holds the body of a man, limp and nearly lifeless with a gaping wound in his neck - trickles of blood stain the corners of the hybrid's mouth, his face conveying a strange innocence like that of a child.

Not asleep yet, I was playing DQXI earlier to work on getting all the extra outfits and now my brain is filled with thoughts of Erik. Also how dirty they did him (and everyone but the Luminary) in Act 3.

EDIT: I realized I went on a very long rant in the tags. Spoilers for the game and it's post-game content in the tags.

Fellow Rosalina enthusiasts (or any Mario fans), I need your help:

There's this adorable fan art that I wanna find again, and neither Google or Ecosia have been any help. It depicts Rosalina telling a story to the Lumas in her library, but the Lumas are all wearing super crowns so they look like her biological children. I remember it being really cute but I don't have it saved and I don't remember who drew it.

Please, if you're reading this and know what I'm talking about, and you either have it saved, know where to find it, or have found it after searching for it, I'd really appreciate it if you reblogged this post with the image or a link to it 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
