I've been catching up on the BumbleKast after getting behind so here are some interesting tidbits from various September 2022 episodes. Lots of behind the scenes info, discussions of canonicity, hints of what may be coming in the future, and also just random fun stuff

1. I'll put the most intriguing one up front:

"Is there any chance the IDW comics will connect themselves to future games?" Ian: "Mmmmmmmmaybe." Kyle: "Is there any chance that the IDW comics have already connected themselves to any future games?" Ian: "...Not in the direction of comic into game."

Ian's wording is intentionally vague here, and I'm not sure if the phrasing of "comic [connecting] into game" would mean he's ruling out the comic connecting itself to the game or the comic being referenced in the game. He's already outright said Tangle isn't in Frontiers or anything like that, so don't expect something THAT big, but previews have also said that Sonic will occasionally make surprising references to characters from past games while exploring the islands. Maybe the IDW comics will get a nod like this? Or maybe he means it the other way around, and we'll see some Frontiers stuff in the comics next year?

Regardless, you KNOW I'll be reporting back on this when Frontiers is out

2. Ian very strongly hints that Silver will be relevant in 2023's comics. This isn't exactly a surprise, given his story in the Annual and the fact that Evan's lead writer. (She's shown immense restraint not shoehorning Silver into every arc lol.) But it's nice to know that setup will pay off before long!

3. In general he's been saying that how the Classic era games fit together is being discussed behind the scenes, especially now that it's considered the past of the Modern series again. Things like Chaotix being non-canon may no longer be true. It's probably best not to think too hard about these things (Sega didn't care about "canon" in the '90s), but he reiterates that the version of events depicted in Origin is what Sega considers the definitive start of the series

4. Ian was very pleasantly surprised (and jealous) when the Scrapnik Island team was allowed to use Mecha Sonic and other Classic elements. He's holding off on commenting further on why Sega might have allowed this

5. Ian gave his ideas for what he could do in a crossover between Sonic and Homestar Runner complete with impressions

6. He also described how a TF2 match on 2Fort between the IDW Sonic cast would go

7. The question of whether or not Nicole could still be a lynx if she came back in future media has come up on here a lot, and sadly Ian seems to think the answer is a definitive "no." If the Freedom Fighters were to ever return, ALL Archie-original elements would likely be gone, starting back at square one with only SatAM (and, technically, their Spinball cameo) as inspiration. Nicole would not be a holo-lynx, Antoine may not be able to use a sword, etc.

8. On the subject of Mega Man, Ian picks up the homoerotic vibes fans always read between X and Zero and wonders if it was intentional lmao. Ian's a real one

9. Ian gave a loose summary of what would have happened in the unreleased third issue of Archie's Sonic: Mega Drive. The story would have opened with the team working together to hunt for the Emeralds in the Special Zone, which wouldn't quite be 1:1 with any specific previous version

10. Several ideas have apparently been pitched for using the Warp Topaz again, since Sega requested they leave it intact at the end of the Metal Virus Saga so it could be used again, although no idea has stuck just yet

11. Ian does not want to admit that Starline is already a Tumblr Sexyman

I was going to add more to this post as I continued getting through the backlog, but this is already long enough

Intro post!

Hello! Someone told me that I can run a blog like this, answer questions and get acquainted. I've never had friends on the internet before, so I'll be glad to meet you!!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Sam. I don't mind other names, except for some rude ones. I love coffee and good music. And also good communication. I don't think my superiors will be happy if I blab about my place of work, so I'll keep quiet. But I will clarify that in... um...just a delightful man works in the "next shop". Seriously, he's so professional. I have a lot to strive for!! Well, I also love books... that's probably all... thank you for listening!! I will be glad to meet everyone!!! <3

About Character:

Name: Samuel Downwell Wright

Age: 25

Nationality: Australian

Gender: Cis male

Orientation: Gay

Team: BLU. Team Starline

Class: Sniper

---

Bio: Samuel grew up in a relatively good family with two brothers, a father and a mother. However, his father is an American soldier. Accordingly, his character was combative. The father was quite demanding of his middle son - Sam. Unlike his older and younger brothers, Sam was a soft, kind, vulnerable boy. Naturally, his father demanded from him courage, strength, and not the behavior of a rag. This often resulted in punishment. Sam remembers well how his father forced him to kneel on buckwheat until he stopped crying. The father was quite cruel, but in this tyranny there were islands of distraction. His older brother is a musician. Singer and guitarist in a rock band. He often took Sam to his rehearsals to protect him from his father's wrath. There Sam learned to play the violin and then the cello. As the days passed, it was time to look for a job. Brother found a dusty job in Mann Co. Sam had already been a little interested in weapons, so he decided to say yes to the rather high-profile profession of a mercenary. He chose to be a sniper because, in his opinion, this is the most humane way of killing a person that has been proposed. From this day on, the most amazing stories in the life of a little man began. He will tell you about them later.

Out of character information:

Rules: Be polite (if possible) In fact, there are almost no rules.

You can check it out to get in the mood or just listen to good music!!

A big inspiration for the development of the character was the group Fish in the Birdcage. You can think of the singer's voice as Sam's voice
