The Mother of All Land Posts(At Least From What I Can Tell)

Okay, everyone, this is going to be a doozie. A few weeks back, a person on a discord said that they could draw me in my god tier costume. In return, I said that I would do an analysis for him. This is the following result. To be honest, all of the landmarks were done by a freind, and I kind of feel guilty for not doing more work. So here’s to him, the true hero of this post!

Prince of space: Land of Toads and frogs You are the Prince of Space in the Land of Toads and Frogs. Your planet is pretty much just frogs. From the get go, you can see frogs as far as the eye can see, you can see the little buggers hopping around everything. Basically, just frogs. But there is a small problem.Your denizen has taken an unusual hatred towards the succeeding of your session, and has started releasing toads into the population of frogs, and these are good copies. Apart from a few miniscule details, they look exactly the same. Most of these frogs are toads, and as the space player (or your knight, as you might not want to do breeding duty) the toads will corrupt the basic fabric of the genesis DNA. Imagine the Karkat frog, but much worse. Your job as a Prince of Space is to get a handle on your extremely potential session ruining powers, and destroy each and every single toad, up to the actual one, your Denizen. You must also learn to suppress your destructive and and violent tendencies, or risk losing your teammates. Your planet will help you do this by having everyone pitch in to help find the true frogs. Locations: The Frog Hole: From this hole streams thousands of frogs. Each frog has a piece of the DNA needed for the genesis frog. They are cute, harmless, and perfect in every way. The frogs travel from this hole and spread to the rest of your planet, until they come into contact with the toads. They then mix and intermingle, with none of them the wiser The Toad Hole: Same as the frog hole, this giant, gaping, and fairly sinister hole, toads stream from this one. Very similar to the frogs, they spread across the planet and intermingle with their opposite race. The toads however, are ugly, mean, and leave you with a feeling of revulsion that you feel shouldn’t come from a natural animal. The Labs: After noticing a lack of consorts, and journeying to your denizens palace, you find that your denizen has cruelly imprisoned the innocent creatures and forced them to work in ecto-labs to rapidly breed more frogs and toads. After defeating your denizen, the consorts return to their homes, while a brave few stay behind to continue the breeding of genetically pure frogs.

Bard of space: Land of Null and Frogs You are the Bard of Space on the Land of Music and Frogs. As a Bard of Space, space is destroyed around you. So you must learn to prevent the destruction of every single frog on the planet from the strange reality things you do. The best way to do this? Destroy the space in a manner you chose to get your frogs away from your powers. If you can control this, you can control your powers, and save both the frogs and your session. Your planet helps you to do this by providing null areas, which only your knight(or helper) can access. You must find a way to specifically destroy space to move the frogs into these areas, where the helper can breed them. You must also learn to get over your destructive feelings, and what better way to do that then letting off steam on underlings? Your planet is stocked with them. Locations: Frog Spots: Your planet looks almost like the battlefield, as in it is checkered with frog spots and null spots. The frog spots are, as their name implies, filled with frogs. The frogs grow on trees, come out of the ground, and fall from the sky. These spots are clearly separated from the null spots by walls of what you guess looks like void(although, being a prospitan dreamer, you can’t be sure). Null Spots: You can’t access these yourself, only your knight can. After going in, he describes it as a place that makes him/her feel like he/she is upside down. You tell them they are probably crazy. On the bright side however, they are filled with ectobiological equipment, ready for quick and easy breeding. Your House: Your house is the only place on the planet that is neither a frog, or null spot. This is confusing, as you have not found your denizens palace. Then, you go through your seventh gate, and find yourself shrunken down and in front of your denizens palace, which has been hiding in your closet this entire time. The palace is straightforward, but your denizen provides a unique choice: either fight him, or he will destroy every null spot on the planet (with your helper inside one of them).

Maid of hope: Land of Prisms and angels You are the Maid of Hope in the Land of Prisms and Angels. This planet, filled with caves, is almost always dark. The caves are filled with crystals of every shape and size, which gives it an almost luminescent view. The consorts of this planet say that if a light strong enough is shone through the right ones, then all of them will light up and the great angels, the savior of Skaia will come. What they don’t know is that not all the crystals, almost none of them, has pure power, and no ordinary light can illuminate them. As a Maid of Hope, you must learn to take the hope that is already there and create more of your own, directing pure hope through the crystals and summoning the great being, which can go without saying is your denizen. You must also learn to keep the faith in your rapidly deteriorating session, and possibly create hope for it. Locations: Crystals: These are the false prisms that dot the land. Being far more common than the actual prisms, they are almost identical. However, they don’t carry the same power as the prisms. When filled with hope, they will fill the area around them with hope, but it will fade eventually, leaving the angels there to flee to somewhere else. Prisms: These are the good stuff, When filled with hope, they can reflect it into the prisms and crystals around them, creating a web of hope. This however will fade as well, as long as you aren’t actively sustaining it. Unfortunately, the webs of prisms are not connected, so to sustain one, you would have to let another slowly die out. The First Crystal: This tiny crystal is found commonly throughout your planets lore. Learn from both your consorts and the angels that if lit up, it would permanently power every crystal and prism on the planet and summon the savior of Skaia. This specific crystal is where your denizens palace should be, except the entire place has been destroyed by imps. To get to the crystal you would have to get through the army, clearly bent on blocking you with everything you have.(help from co-players is highly recommended)

Thief of hope Land of Churches and Children You are the Thief of Hope on the Land of Churches and Children. Have you ever heard that children are our hope for the future? Well, on your land, this is most especially true. The children consorts have some sort of holy power, and it allows them a great, but unidentified power. There are a multitude of churches of this land, which are run by the imps of your denizen. They have decreed that the children shall be “studied” to find the source of this power. This studying involves the death of the children, and they are nowhere near finding out the power, and are definitely not close to stopping the deaths of the children. As the Thief of Hope, you must steal the children from the corrupt and evil churches. As you do this, you must find a way to steal the hope and power from the churches, as well as finding a way to work with the children to use the power, in a way that is both safe, and that works. Locations: The Safehouse: This extra dimensional space is located near your first gate. It is a place that the children have created to be safe from the churches. Your quest is to steal the children from the churches, but ultimately, you will bring them back here, where they are safe until you empty the land of underlings.

The Fountain of Hope: The reason the underlings research is causing your consorts to die, is that they are forcing them to overuse their powers. The consorts have a limited amount of power, and if they use more than they can handle, they will die. This fountain restores the power of the consorts that have depleted theirs, unfortunately, the underling churches have decreed this place blasphemous, and forbid anyone to go near. The Head Church: This church is the one that decreed the studies, and is the closest to coming to a conclusion. They plan to use the power to build a weapon that will destroy skaia, and spare Derse the trouble. Your quest is now to completely destroy this church using the power from the fountain of hope, and the consorts you have saved.(co-player help is recommended as it is basically another reckoning) You can then descend into the catacombs afterward to face your denizen.

Knight of life Land of Temples and Jungles You are the Knight of Life in the Land of Temples and Jungles. The Jungles of this land are numerous, covering the planet with untold numbers of life filling the air. They provide everything the consorts of your land might need, and more. But due to the angering of your denizen by some hapless children, the jungles are slowly succumbing to some deadly black disease. If this plague goes on much longer, the planet will be totally dead. The consorts, who are slowly dying off, tell you that in the temples across the land are plants that have been saved, and they say that a great hero could use them to fight back the plagues and imps, and restore life in your planet. As the Knight of Life, you must learn to use these plants as weapons, and find a way to use them to stop the plague, the imps, and eventually reach your denizen. Locations: The Temples: These temples are filled with plants. Giant trees covered in leaves, flowers with vibrant colors, and crops that bear the greatest tasting fruits and veggies you can imagine. Your job is to spread these plants (that are conveniently immune to the plague) across your planet. The Plague: These are the areas that are filled with the plague.  Plants die, consorts flee, and underlings reign supreme. Unfortunately the plague is airborne, waterborne, and underling-borne. It is spreading fast, and if you don’t hurry, there won’t be any consorts left to save. The Grand Temple: This is (obviously) your denizens palace. It contains the universal cure for the disease. Once released it will spread over the planet as your plants fight the disease, and prevent the disease from spreading. This will allow your plants to  push the plague back and eventually eradicate it completely. Saving the jungles, and the consorts.

Page of life Land of Glass and Energy Your planet is filled with little glass shards, littering the ground. Most of your consorts are in fear of going outside, as the glass is harmful if you step on it. It will slice your feet, but if you break it, it will explode. Anyway, why would you want to go outside anyway? There are no plants or life, and everything that they need to survive is available inside. During your trials, however, you discover that if you are really quick, you can harness the energy inside of the glass to kill foes, which is does in a burst of plants. For some reason, anything explosion you make waters the earth, covering it with plants. As the Page of Life, if you are somehow able to get the consorts outside and train them to use the glass, you can bring the planet back to life and destroy all the glass. As well as using the plants to remove your enemies, and grow the way to your denizen. Locations: Glass Fields: These fields of energized glass are everywhere on your planet, forcing you to tread carefully (a flying device or really protective footwear is highly recommended). This glass explodes when crushed and the seeds of plants that hide in the ground are instantly brought to life and shoot out of the ground in a burst of colorful flora. Your first goal will will be to replace all the glass on the planet with plants so that it is safe for the consorts(and you) to walk around on the surface. Towns: The towns here are strange, because of the glass phenomena, They all consist of one giant building. The ground floors are for storing food, and are made of hard stone with no entrances. The middle floors are housing and are made of wood and (harmless) glass. The top floors contain farms and a few rarely used rope ladders that lead to the ground level. The Green Sea: This sea takes of a large part of your planet and instead of normal water, it is filled with energy. The consorts say that the energy that is in the sea flows through the glass and causes the explosions. Your denizens palace is located on an island. Once on the island you can enter the palace and meet your denizen.

Heir of light Land of Lanterns and Mirrors You are the Heir of Light in the Land of Lanterns and Mirrors This planet has many mirrors, enough to cause any light created to reflect of many surfaces. When you shine one of the numerous lanterns on the series, the pattern they create is disjointed and strange. You could try adjusting the positions and angles, but there are so many that finding the right sequence would take aeons. Plus, your consorts say that a certain amount of luck is involved, because the wrong sequence could summon your denizen too soon and cause mass destruction. Luckily for you, you have always been moderately lucky. As the Heir of Light, you must use the veritable knowledge of the land, famed for its extensive research of the positions, and a lot of luck, you can transform the patterns into the way to find your denizen under the best of terms, and learn the best way to win your session. Locations: The Great Lantern: This giant lantern is what provides most of the light for your planet. The lantern however, is powered by grist. You will have to choose to either feed the lantern an endless supply of grist, or embark on a side quest to find the golden wick. The Golden Wick: This treasure is held in a giant castle teeming with underlings. The golden wick has been a treasure to the consorts for years and has been said to bring luck to anyone who comes near it’s flame. The underlings however, are trying to harness this luck to bring an all-out war to your innocent consorts. Once placed inside the great lantern, it will power the device without taking up any grist. Mirror Fields: This is where most of your busy-work will be. Re-arranging the mirrors will cause different effects when patterns are made. Your job is to find the effects of each pattern, and possibly deduce which ones could be useful during events like your denizens choice/fight or the reckoning.

Page of light Land of skylights and moons You are the Page of Light on the Land of Skylights and Moons.  The planet is the proud owner of several large, orbiting moons made entirely out of mirrors. The moon's orbit the planet in a slow fashion. There is one problem, which is that the moons emit no light. What’s worse, they block out almost all the light from Skaia, leaving the surface in pitch black (alchemizing a powerful flashlight and/or lantern is highly recommended). Luckily for you, there are powerful skylights pointed at the moons! Unluckily, (as it usually is for your page of light self) the giant lights have no power. Your quest is to shine the lights at the highly reflective moons to bring light back to your planet’s surface and awaken the long slumbering consorts that have slept through the night in the safety of their homes. Locations: The Moons: Each moon is themed after a type of grist that the underlings of your planet drop, dominated by a massive miniboss. You have the choice to either travel to the moons and grind for your echeladder, or just activate the skylights and fly up later for to grab the massive amounts of grist all at once. The Gateway: After entering this large tunnel, you find all your consorts in a massive city filled with technological wonders of all kinds. Great monolights covered in spotlights dot the streets (which may or may not be paved with gold). Too bad the whole place runs on solar power. All the consorts are asleep in cryo-chambers and the computers running the chambers are programmed to only activate once light is restored to the planet. The Core: This place is the deepest point within your denizens palace. In the very core of your planet, the denizen guards the one thing that can bring it back to life. Once jumpstarted by your amazing page-powers, the core will power all the skylights, and with any luck (and you will have that), the lights will hit the moons and bring light to your planet once again. The gateway reactivates, and the city within comes back to life as your consorts step out into the world for the first time in (x amount of time since you entered the session).

Seer of doom Land of Flame and monoliths Needs to learn how to read each doomed timeline(monolith) and prevent each bad event from happening. You are the Seer of Doom on the Land of Flame and monoliths. Darkness covers this land, in the form of flames that suck the light out of the world, instead of adding to it. The fires are causing mass destruction and death throughout the planet, and you can see every part of it. Every death, every wrong choice, everything gone wrong in the past, present and future. And it is easy for you to know, as the giant monoliths of the land are written with all of them. The consorts apparently cannot see them, and regard them as invisible, so they cannot know what they did wrong, and the fire continues to grow and destroy. Your consorts speak of a way to fix it, but unfortunately, they do not know how to fix it. And they tend to make more problems and mistakes, which worsens the situations. As the Seer of Doom, you must learn to see the mistakes that they have made, and have your time player fix those. The same must happen in reverse, you yourself must fix the mistakes they are about to make and save your planet. Locations: Monoliths: These great black monoliths are spread throughout your planet. After careful observation of each one you find that they are all written in the language of your denizen, meaning that your co-players cannot read them. You also find that each monolith has the story of a doomed timeline, and what went wrong. The Flame: This scorching black fire is often referred to by the consorts as “the doom”. The consorts have sacrificed many lives to hold back the flames from burning down their villages. Spring water is the only thing that can fight the fires. Unfortunately it is very rare on your planet, with most villages having one limited spring. The White Monolith: This monolith is kept within your denizens palace, It contains your timeline and is always changing and modifying itself. Unlike other monoliths as well, this one you can take with you back to your house. It will probably come in handy later on.

Rogue of Rage Land of Darkness and chaos You are the Rogue of rage on the land of Darkness and chaos. The Purple lizard consorts are particularly angry at the world in general. They hate the war on skaia, they hate the production of underlings, and they HATE the darkness that has recently covered the planet. These black clouds spew out of pipes and cover your land. The consorts have found however, that spewing their anger into fountains will make them feel better. Unfortunately, the anger is refined and turned into the black clouds covering your planet. The clouds burn to the touch, and even go as far as prevent you from entering some of the higher gates. What's worse, the gas seems to be spreading into the incipisphere, and will eventually hit your co players planets. You hate to think what would happen once it hits skaia. As the Rogue of Rage, you must find a way to steal the growing resource of rage, and use it in ways that your teammates and you can use safe and powerfully. Locations: Fountains: Your consorts have found a way to vent their anger and temporarily go back to their normal lives. This however comes at a cruel twist, The anger that is constantly poured into the fountains is fueling the clouds. The unknowing consorts are stuck in a loop of being angry about the clouds, and creating the clouds with their anger. Exhaust Fields: These fields are places where exhaust pipes grow on the ground like flowers. They are part of the cycle of clouds. The fountains lead directly to your denizen who makes the emotions into the clouds. They clouds are then ejected similar to the oil on John’s planet. The Refinery: This is where your denizen turns the anger into the fumes, and as you have cut out it’s power source, it’s pretty angry. The refinery is more of a giant engine, releasing the gas as exhaust for some sort of doomsday device. After defeating your denizen using the power of your planets rage, (or just take the choice) you can shut down the engine and stop the darkness permanently.

Crusher Analyses Sonic Lyrics Volume 1: Unknown From M.E.

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them, The best of them, tougher than leather.

But fur is softer than leather.

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle,

You’ve lost my trust.

I'd rather flex my muscles.

Your muscles aren't any more pronounced than Cream’s.

I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell, I break'em down whether they're solid or frail.

How come you can't dig through metal in Adventure 2 then?

Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath,

First test, feel the right, then the worst's left.

He’s not good at planning out interior designs.

Born on an island in the heavens, The blood of my ancestors flows inside me.

That's horrifying.

My duty is to save the flower, From evil deterioration.

Water it then, geez.

I will be the one to set your heart free, true,

Sorry man, I'm already taken.

Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you.

It’s already too late for him. :’(

Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct, Are the elements that keep me going.

Translation: "Carnival Night exists because of my desire to escape my miserable existence guarding a radioactive Sherbet Lemon."

I am fighting my own mission, Nothing's gonna stand in my way.

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil, Just believe in myself, won't rely on others.

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy, This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny.

I have no such things as weak spots,

Don't approve of him, but gotta trust him.

This is the sort of mindset that leads you into working for aliens who sound as though they smoke ten packs a day.

Not that anyone in the Sonic universe would be experienced with that sort of thing.

This alliance has a purpose,

This partnership is only temporary.

"It’s not like I like you or anything, Sonic-baka!”

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored, This is my planet, I shall not surrender.

Hope you stuck to your promise by the time of Sonic Forces.

The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest,

You've already existed for over four years prior to this game.

In the wilderness with the ruggedness.

If you’re supposed to be rugged, Tails is basically chiseled.

Knock knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower,

How do you know my address?

Also, what in the name of fuck is a bloat thrower?

Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder,

Knuckles confirmed for flower otherkin. (Otherknuckles?)

I'll give you the coldest shoulder.

Said the writers of Sonic X.

My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner.

“I killed that boulder, Sonic... I slaughtered that boulder... I could not bear to go outside ever again, I was so ashamed...”

I was born by myself, I don't need a posse,

Yeah, Ken.

I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved.

I was surprised how much I liked Sonic X (I only watched it recently), at least the Japanese version.  Sonic’s so cool in it.  all super introverted and nonverbal.  it was also sorta strange how cool they made Knuckles sometimes!  I like it best outta all the Sonic shows I’ve seen

Favorite Sonic Era: 

classic, you even gotta ask?

Born on an island in the heavens, the blood of his ancestors flows inside him. His duty is to save the flower from evil deterioration. Here’s the recording for week #62, with the runthrough of Sonic 3 & Knuckles as Knuckles himself!

10 + 11 questions tag

Thank you @shenmeizhuang for tagging me!

A. Always post the rules. Answer the questions then write (10 or 11?) new ones.

B. Tag 11 people and link them to the post. Tell the person who tagged you that you’ve answered their questions.

My questions:

Favorite heroine.

Favorite drama trope.

Name a character that you initially liked but came to dislike.

Least favorite drama trope.

What dramas do you think should be 20 episodes shorter?

Favorite example of trope dissection/dispellation. 

Favorite time travel drama.

What historical figure would you like to see a drama about?

What type of plot twist would you like to see more?

What is the worst plot twist you have seen in a drama?

Favorite villain or antagonist?

Hua Fei, from the Legend of Zhen Huan/后宫 甄嬛传.  For all of her bad traits -- callousness, selfishness, a tendency to want to murder her enemies -- you can’t help but to feel bad for her.  And at Yongzheng for treating her like he did.  And I think that’s what I truly loved about Zhen Huan -- even the antagonists were fleshed out and multi-dimensional.

A honorable mention would be Ulanara Yi Xiu/Huang Hou from Zhen Huan.  

Favorite character trope/archetype?

Interestingly, when it comes to female characters, I am willing to give any character trope a try if the storyline is good.  That said, I notice I do gravitates more towards dramas where it’s “carefree young woman getting entangled in political drama and then internalizes too much.”  Aka Bu Bu Jing Xin, Glory of the Tang Dynasty, Imperial Doctress, to some extent Singing All Along.

As for guys, because I inevitably end up watching palace dramas/court dramas, I am a sucker for “I am a prince/emperor with all the duties in the world including polygamy but I only have one true love” type of character  (see above dramas).  I swear this post will not become my rambling on Glory of the Tang Dynasty, Part 3.

Least favorite character trope/archetype?

The Evil Secondary Girl(TM) in modern dramas.  I give the trope a little bit more leeways in palace dramas because backstabbing and all are I guess historically accurate (maybe? lol) but the evil second girl trope in modern drama makes my eye twitch.  

The biggest example I can think of is Ha Jae Kyung from Boys Over Flowers.  I have many many issues with that drama (don’t get me started on what they did with Jun Pyo that even Lee Min Ho can’t save), but the drama never gave a reason for why she was the Evil Secondary Girl (TM).  Yes she’s betrothed to Jun Pyo, whichl from all indications was arranged by her parents.  The drama never gave an indication as to why she’s so attached to Jun Pyo, other than this supposed betrothal that was arranged by other people. 

Least favorite drama trope

Love stories where the jerk of the main character (always the dude) remains a jerk to everyone else but the Main Love Interest(TM). 

Blackmail stories, like Sealed with a Kiss.  It’s not as much romantic as just plain creepy.

Name a character that you initially disliked but came to love

Wei Zi Fu from The Virtuous Queen of Han.  It wasn’t even that I initially disliked her character -- I just found her character really boring and a little bit insufferable by how good she is as a human being.  But then by the end of the drama I was pretty much HURT ZI FU AND I CUT YOU, YES INCLUDING YOU LIU CHE.  

Favorite multi-season drama?

I don’t really watch a lot of multi-season drama that’s not in English, to be honest? I guess if you count Glory as multi-season.

That said, I have high hopes for the 2nd season of Dr. Qin Medical Examiner. 

Favorite example of trope dissection/dispellation.

Bu Bu Jing Xin.  It took the trope of “amazing heroine that everyone loves” and shred my heart to pieces.

Favorite time travel drama.

Bu Bu Jing Xin again.  I haven’t watched the Myth yet (honestly, I know that it ends up super angsty and I keep chickening out because of that), and while I enjoy Gong for the time traveling palace Boys Over Flower adaptation that Yu Zheng kept denying, Bu Bu Jing Xin is just so tightly and well written, well acted, beautiful, and dramatic but never over the top.   

Choose a period drama, sageuk, or wuxia that you would like to time travel to

Most of the period drama and wuxia that I watch end up with 90% of the cast dying so I am not sure if I actually want to time travel to any of them.  At this point, probably Glory of the Tang Dynasty so I can talk some sense into Li Chu and Zhen Zhu during certain plot points.  And also because I feel like Li Chu occasionally needs a Get A Grip Friend.

Historical event/time period/historical figure(s) that you want to see a show explore.

I am not sure, really.  I would love to see an epic political drama of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that wasn’t overwrought with romantic melodrama a la Qing Shi Huang Fei.

Name a show with the best (most intensive yet reasonable/plausible) plot twists.

Bu Bu Jing Xin.  I guess it was not a plot twist because I knew history and what happened between the fourth and eighth prince, but the deterioration of their relationship throughout the drama was actually made in a way that was super reasonable and plausible even though it broke my heart.

I’m tagging @cdramaddict, @dangermousie, @shenmeizhuang.  I realize that I don’t talk with my mutuals a lot, but anyone who wants to answer can :)

-Unknown from M.E., Sonic Adventure

R.I.P Knuckles the Echidna

1994 - 2018

His last wish was for you to know the way. :(

This is way more upsetting than I could describe in words. Knuckles doesn’t deserve this.

IMPORTANT

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them

The best of them, tougher than leather

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

I'd rather flex my muscles

I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail

Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath

First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

Born on an island in the heavens

The blood of my ancestors flows inside me

My duty is to save the flower

From evil deterioration

I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you

Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instincts

Are the elements that keep me going

I am fighting my own mission

Nothing's gonna stand in my way

I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them

The best of them, tougher than leather

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

I'd rather flex my muscles

I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail

Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath

First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

I have no such things as weak spots

Don't approve of him but gotta trust him

This alliance has a purpose

This partnership is only temporary

I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored

This is my planet, I shall not surrender

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

This is my planet, gonna fight

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored

This is my planet, I shall not surrender

The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest

In the wilderness with the ruggedness

Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower

Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder

I'll give you the coldest shoulder

My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner

I was born by myself, I don't need a posse

I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved
