I just can't imagine Sonic ever wanting to give up any part of himself. From my admittedly limited knowledge of romance, there's a very large gap you have to bridge and an amount of vulnerability and compromise you have to be willing to make for it to work out, and I just can't see him ever wanting to have a bond like that in the first place. Sonic is all about personal freedom and independence, I just don't think he'd ever want to settle for anything remotely domestic or anything that "ties him down". He doesn't need a partner that can "keep up" with that lifestyle, becuz he never needed or wanted that lifestyle. He doesn't need any fulfillment from romance. If anything, it'd just slow him down to be so attached to one person over anyone else. The point is that I'm thinking very very hard about being aromantic today

You got it Boss 🫡 (salute emoji)

Sonic and Shadow both use wheelchairs, eventually. BUT, before they get those, Shadow takes to riding Omega as a means to get around, or just Doesnt Move when he's too sore or tired, but that's rarely. He was inspired on the ARK when Maria would be so determined to do anything she wanted to do despite her pain and fatigue, so he tries to do his best as well, though Maria would've had mobility aids: crutches and a wheelchair, and 24/7 access to doctors and help. Shadow personalizes his aids to look similar to Maria's, though not 100%. He's into the small details like a specific sticker or such, and has a Lot representing all of his different friends and his interests, namely guns, cats, and motorcycles.

Sonic's mobility aids are built by Tails for Maximum Speed and Efficiency. They all have Tails' logo on them. Sonic's wheelchair has a hidden engine, and weaponry so he can still fight badniks and go rlly fast. As a gift, someone gave him chili dog stickers to put on them too. His wheelchair also has extra storage attachments, and maybe he has one w treads instead of wheels for hiking through forests? Or maybe the wheels can swap out? Idk if that's possible

Going Super gives both hedgehogs headaches. Shadow becuz that's a lot of energy for him to deal with, and Sonic becuz of the way Chaos energy interacts w him is overstimulating.

Once he finds out abt Shadow, Tails asks Omega, during repairs, if it has any tips abt what to do that could help Sonic. They share tips and research. Team Dark is actually surprisingly helpful, Shadow from having lived around doctors for most of his life and Rouge and Omega learning from Shadow. I imagine he had to teach them a little bit as well, or they picked up on whats most helpful, though this is just for fatigue and headaches specifically (maybe also PTSD) and obviously it varies person to person. Maybe they also learned smth through G.U.N idk, either way it's a good starting point for Tails.

Sonic needs to go to the doctor like every other week but he never does so by the time Tails finally drags him down there he ends up very confused like “ok but what do you mean my legs are supposed to not ache in the morning?  what do you mean my head isn’t supposed to feel like it’s gonna explode when I go to casino night zone?  what do you mean my tummy isn’t supposed to feel bad after I have a chilidog?”

DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER HOW IN THE EPISODE "THE WANDERS" IT'S REVEALED THAT WANDER IS SO OBSESSED WITH HELPING OTHERS BECAUSE OF HIS CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND THAT HE WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND PLEADING NOT TO HAVE THAT PART OF HIM RETURNED SO HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO REMEMBER IT, AND HOW THEY NEVER BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN. BECAUSE I REMEMBER.

Do you like Metal Sonic the normal amount or were you bullied by your parents when you were growing up?

WOY HUMAN AU!!

It's basically all the same, except the main cast is Human Adjacent (the watchdogs are Fauns, zbornaks are like centaurs) Wander and Hater are the only real humans. Hater has his evil magics, so he's only a little bit human and A Lot something else, Wander is fully human and he's the only kind in the whole Galaxy.

The main story divergence, outside of the minor changes so that the characters work w their new forms, takes place After season 3. It's also Mostly abt Commander Peepers & the Watchdogs. It's also less abt them being different shapes and more what I think a new, angsty season 3 could b abt

WOY spoilers under the cut

Dominator is Gone, for now, so there's a race with all the Galaxy's villains to fill the void left in her wake. After breaking up a few dogfights, Hater and Wander convince the other villains to team up to help clean the Galaxy instead. Hater and Wander grow closer and closer, as Hater begins to find that he actually LIKES to help people.

SO, with all the main villains mostly good, and Hater on the way to complete Good Guy Reform, we need another, NEW big bad to fill up the antagonist role.

Commander Peepers.

At first he's fine, helping them clean the Galaxy. It's a nice break from all the horror and what-not from Dominator almost destroying them all. He's content enough. It can't last forever though, and he's eager to get back into the planet conquering game, especially now that the planets are all new and uncharted! The one problem? Whenever he tells Lord Hater, Hater brushes him off. At first he assumes Hater is still tired. That's fine, Peepers tells himself.

Things begin to add up though.

Hater begins to spend less and less time on the Skullship; time he's spending hanging out with that Wandering Weirdo. Peepers pretends like he doesn't notice how Hater comes home late at night with flower crowns tucked into his pockets or the scent of campfire on his cloak, but after getting blown off repeatedly he can only hold out for so long.

Peepers blows up at Hater one night. It's a lot of pent up aggression on both sides. Hater is upset that Peepers is so un-accepting. Peepers though has been Betrayed, by his longest and best friend, his Leader, and he's Pissed. He begins to realize that it mustve been Hater who has been holding him back this whole time. That the Hater Empire- no, the Watchdog Empire- would have been able to have conquered the whole system, the whole Galaxy by now, if only Peepers let go of the one person holding him back.

He kicks Hater out of the Skullship during the fight. Hater didn't care about the Watchdogs, didn't understand them, not in the way Peepers did, and it was easy to command his army to get rid of Hater. They leave him stranded on a planet, and Peepers flies to the other side of the Galaxy, as far from Hater as possible.

For a while, probably a good few months, a year perhaps, it's Lord Peepers and the Watchdogs conquering planets upon planets. Without Hater, Peepers is competent, aggressive, and merciless. They find Westley somewhere along the way, and Peepers, furious that Westley did the same thing as Hater, locks him up in the dungeons for a while before re-employing him once they begin to get low on man-power.

Westley and Andy team up to call out to Wander for help. With Peepers in charge, and as angry as he is, life as a Watchdog is painful and exhausting. They send out signals occasionally, that can be traced to the location of the Skullship. Eventually Wander finds a phone and is able to contact Westley, and they work to cross paths.

Meanwhile, Peepers gets madder and madder. He can't get over what happened with Wander and Hater, and in his rage he grows more and more sporadic and cruel. He tears things apart and breaks things constantly in fits of rage. He's building a plan in his room, to get revenge on all who he feels wronged him.

Westley works as a spy, making Peepers "open up" by being the only one who pays attention to his mad rants and sitting with Peepers when he's tired enough to explain his plans. Westley relays all that to Sylvia, Wander, and Hater, who are doing their best to help those on conquered planets all while staying Under the Radar.

One day, though, they slip up. Wander can't resist helping someone or Hater gets into a fight with one of the Watchdogs left to keep order on the planet. Either way, Peepers begins tracking them. The typical shenanigans ensue, Wander and co sneaking onto the Skullship, bothering Peepers, running away.

It all makes Peepers Furious, though. One time he overhears Wander and the rebel Watchdogs conspiring against him, and that's the final straw for him. He pretends he doesn't know that most of the Watchdogs are planning to turn against him and continues with his invasion as usual. This time, however, he follows the Watchdogs. Typically he just drops off a few and leaves. This time, however, he's tailing them the whole time, walking easy and measured. He hasn't seen the sun in a while, and it takes a moment for him to adjust.

The rebellion is surprised, but Wander, Hater, and Sylvia stand their ground. Peepers walks up to them, and Wander steps forward, much to the chagrin of his friends. Peepers is covered in medals and hidden weapons, it's extremely dangerous to get too close. Wander waved them off though. They stand and talk, or Wander talks at Peepers, and Peepers stands still enough for Wander to let his guard down and get close.

Peepers LUNGES. He doesn't even bother to take out a hidden knife, his claws are enough. He punches Wander, pushes him into the ground. Peepers is smiling, manically, and raises his hand for the final strike- there's a crackle of energy, and Peepers flies back, away from Wander.

Hater had shot at him. Peepers coughs, reaches towards his very burnt chest. He really didn't expect that to happen, but he gathers his resolve. Peepers takes a moment to stand, lets Hater's final betrayal sink in. The crowd is hushed, watching him struggle to stand. Peepers manages, gets up, turns stiffly. He begins to walk back on shaky legs. Peepers gets a few steps, then promptly collapses.

From there, the Watchdogs take over. Westley orders them to take Peepers in, getting him immediate care. Wander and Sylvia and Hater begin living on the ship for a while, waiting for Peepers to wake up again. After he does, Hater and Peepers begin to work on fixing their relationship (very VERY slowly, Peepers is really mad for a While). Wander and Peepers talk together, too, and Wander helps him with Physical Therapy. Eventually they all make up and fix the planets Peepers conquered, but it takes a While.

That's all I got for now, and obviously less detail than usual (sleepy dead brain). There's a lot of small stuff w Watchdogs too, giving them more personality and interactions, but I don't feel like writing it all soooo

[steeltwigz]

WOY posting again, i think it's also So Important to note that both Wander and Sylvia sing about how they'd thought they'd "never see [each other] again" in My Fair Hatey after invading Dominator's ship, are they ok????? Did they talk abt that afterward? Are They Alright???????
