I FOUND THE VOL3 DRAFTS

Ok odd post but I gotta let people know since this is kinda wild. Yes yes, yes, Tales From The Gas Station, Clock is still hyperfixating after months. ANYWAYS, way back, years ago when I was into the series prior I was there for the "How Did We Get Here" ark. I still have art of tftgs from during that time that's up on this blog if you go back far enough.

I'm talking about the ark that was deleted, the one that became lost media, the draft versions of Volume 3.

To be fair these are the retconned versions and are by a dif narrator than MCP. They are not canon BUT they exist just not in the form we are used to. So uh... here you go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFHc1DOHMmc&list=PL9mgOzafXS51l0We273_COKdskycwlyBa

Got on the G&G server and found a visitor. >.>

She wanted to eat all our birds but the poor things survived. Also chewed a bit on the taming pen I slapped together, but I salvaged most of it. And she has some really nice stats so. \o/

We got a saddle out of a drop not long ago so she'll be one of our main mounts. Was tempted to try her out against the alpha raptor on Blue Ob Island but decided not to test my luck.

And the big girl was hanging out on BOI beach, we wanted one for algae so we can tame herbies easier so I couldn't pass her up. Getting our ankies will be a lot easier now. \o/

I saved the horse from a rex and we'll need him for our mill so I brought him all the way home. Had a moment of panic when the carrots didn't give much taming% but we had juuuust enough to get him. >.<

And I planted our veggies! Gonna expand the cotton a bit next, and get some flax seeds from our trader so we can plant those. That and helping Kel build our next crafting stations is about all we have on our list now.

as funny as the idea of shadow being completely unable to use technology is i feel like it doesnt actually make much sense because like . yeah he basically fell asleep 50 years ago and woke up in the modern day and theres been a lot of changes in culture and technology that he'd have to get used to. but he wasnt living on earth with zero exposure to computers he was living on a space station where the science was advanced enough for them to be able to create him. maybe he'd struggle a bit using modern computers/phones/etc but i dont think he'd just know nothing about technology either. you know.

The thought of Espio being either more incompetent with technology than the rest of his friends or just being wholly tech illiterate gets a lot funnier for me when I remember that he's sixteen. I personally never knew any sixteen year old besides myself who wasn't very involved with technology at that age (I've gotten better as an adult though I guess). Plus one of Espio's friends/allies is basically a literal boomer who hacks computers by smacking them. And yet Espio is still the cringe one

To be fair, I don't think Espio is that incompetent with technology? Vector wouldn't have asked him to go hack Eggman's and the ARK's computer if he didn't at least believe Espio could pull it off, I figure. Plus, the Chaotix managed to fire the Eclipse Canon, even if it's not shown who was responsible for that specifically. It's just that we never see Espio with anything else technology-wise as far as I know, and the telephone the Chaotix have in their possession in X and IDW is one of those very old-fashioned horn-with-cord ones, haha. So there's just nothing modern for Espio to practice with, maybe?

That being said, with Espio's focus on Being A Ninja, I figure he might show more appreciation for the traditional way of doing things than replacing it all with technology. In one Sonic Channel artwork, he's shown taking notes with a notebook and brush, where I'd say a laptop is just far more efficient. (Assuming they've got the money to buy one, of course. If they do ever get a computer, I figure it'll be one of those twenty-year-old square blocks of screen with a dinky keyboard and mouse that's barely hanging on to its last threads of life. That fits best with the Chaotix Vibes in my mind.) So Espio staunchly refusing to modernise and sticking to what works best for him is something I can envision, haha. I would say that he'll be able to figure out how a smartphone works if you gave him one and just let him figure it out by himself, it's just that he doesn't want to use it until it's a clear necessity.

World of Sonic: Underexplored

Haven't taken any screenshots yet but Kel and I started on the Guilds & Goblins server Monday. Been playing a bit each night and we were struggling for a bit but we finally made some progress tonight, we have an actual house to live in now and we have an argy and all our gatherers except for an anky. I think we're gonna wait til we can saddle the argy and then go get one, just to make it easier to get it home - we've been using a raft to port things around and it's worked so far but we really don't want to suddenly discover a leeds. >.>

Today we added a therizino and carno, both were babies we nabbed but they got mostly imprinted and were high levels so they'll make good fighters. So once we can saddle them we're gonna start hitting some of the goblin camps. \o/

Got all the gigas raised except the last two (and they've gotten a pretty good start), I'm not sure if the event will still be going when I get home from work but either way I'm gonna try to finish them up tomorrow.

Character rewrite: Maria Robotnik is taken to the ARK with her grandfather when she is young. Initially, there are no other children on the ARK, and most of the people there are older scientists too busy to interact with her. Half of them don't even believe her disease is real, while the other half treat her like a fragile doll. Maria, severely lacking interaction and attention, starts acting out, getting into trouble around the space station, and pushing herself to her limits when doing so. She becomes a nihilist and falls into a depression, realizing her situation is hopeless, that she may never see the Earth again. Gerald doesn't know how to console her, and tries to keep her focused on her studies. She's very smart, but feels like applying herself is a fruitless effort.

When Abraham is born, while excited to finally have a possible friend, Abraham is too young to play with for several years, so she still feels a disconnect to him. (And the parents aren't too thrilled about Maria's behavior to let her spend too much time with him unattended anyway) But when Shadow is born, as the ultimate life form with immediate intelligence and zero fragility, Maria immediately takes a liking to him, which makes Abraham jealous and lonely in the later years. Shadow is actually the voice of reason at the start, reserved, but curious. Maria's rebellious, juvenile nature inspires him as a semi-bad influence. Both he and Maria get into a lot of trouble on the ARK; Gerald leaves them be, seeing how happy and hopeful Maria is now. As the years pass, Shadow became a great inspiration to Maria. She started helping her grandfather design and build machines as well as shoes for Shadow. Maria matured as she grew up, even as her illness got worse; becoming more optimistic, kinder, and sweeter. After the stories of Earth, the time together as well as exchanged promises for a hopeful future... When Shadow witnesses his best friend die, sacrificing herself for him... it's no wonder he became who he is today.

my personal sonadow headcanons in no particular order bc im procrastinating on writing a research paper right now and its either do this or throw myself off the roof:

Shadow is a few inches shorter than Sonic, but ONLY if he takes his shoes off. cue many years' worth of shenanigans with Shadow doing everything in his power to avoid going barefoot in Sonic's presence because he knows if Sonic finds out he'll never hear the end of it (hes right)

T4T SONADOW

Sonic was able to get top surgery, but Shadow's body healed itself too quickly for it to work on him. flash forward to when he gets his Black Doom abilities and one of his first orders of business is to fuck around with them until he's able to give HIMSELF top surgery

Sonic hates coffee beans (too bitter) and Shadow hates chili dogs (too heavy/savory). they've broken up over this enough times for Rouge to lose count

Sonic is so good at flirting with everyone EXCEPT SHADOW. HE GETS TOO FLUSTERED. HE TRIES SO HARD AND IT NEVER WORKS BUT SHADOW IS TOO DOWN BAD TO CARE

Shadow grew up on a space station, with no biological reason to eat, and no access to fresh food or a kitchen. Sonic literally raised both himself AND TAILS. Shadow is NOT the cook between the two of them please everyone keeps saying otherwise and i dont understand it you cant convince me shadow knows how to boil a pot of water PLEASE SOMEBODY AGREE WITH ME

Sonic ages. Shadow doesn't. 50 years down the line somebody asks Sonic if Shadow is his son. Shadow immediately gets payback for 50 years of short jokes.

they are both so smart and so capable and so dangerous by themselves but if you put them in the same room in any context outside of a life-or-death situation they become the two dumbest motherfuckers you've ever had the displeasure of engaging in polite conversation with

shadow bottoms what who said that

okay this one might be silly but I feel like they would both be good at chess??? like Sonic is surprisingly well-read and more observant than people give him credit for, and Shadow probably had a lot of strategy training from GUN + played games with Maria on the ARK. idk i just feel like it would be a fun way for them to challenge each other outside of just racing/combat yknow

they both wear jewelry with each others' colors :] i usually make it earrings but i think Sonic having bracelets to mirror Shadow's rings would be really cute too

autistic Shadow and ADHD Sonic yes please yes yes yes

Sonic is the most verbally affectionate and Shadow is the most physically affectionate IM RIGHT YOU CANT ARGUE WITH ME ON THIS ONE IM PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN GOODBYE

they like to beat each other up a little toooooo much and its kinda toxic maybe but also theyre both having fun so like. maybe its just a love language 🫶🫶

Tails is so, SO disappointed with Sonic for his choice in men. like he actively considers holding an intervention when he finds out that Shadow and Sonic started dating

theyre both somewhere on the aromantic and asexual spectrums because uhhhhhh so am i and i can project if i want to

Sonic is a chronic yapper and Shadow is a listener BUT. HEAR ME OUT. IT STARTS TO SWAP AS THEY GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER. shadow comes out of his shell and feels more at ease talking, and sonic appreciates having someone who doesnt expect him to be at full energy/optimism 24/7 and lets him be silent when he needs to be
