Prime scene redraw with my designs for these silly lil hedgehogs! I drew this while sitting in the library, which was lovely •w•

I’m also apparently allergic to having a consistent chibi style. I kinda hope this one sticks around, I like it!

While I do have many things to infodump about, I had a question regarding your sonic universe, specifically with Edea. Teo and Shadow(the concept) made me wonder, are the Black Arms completely different in this au? Do the soldiers have a conscious(like Teo's granddad we saw a while back), or is that a very recent developement? Is Doom and Shadow still around at all(considering in canon Doom is like 2000+)? As a resident of the Black Arms hyperfixation I've just been wondering about it a lot

OH BOY I get to infodump about Edean Black Arms lore :D !!!!

Ok so. preemptively, the lore for the Black Arms isn't air tight on account of "I would need to make an actual timeline for Edea's history if I want to have a proper explanation and I'm too lazy for that". but anyways--

In my hc, each of the Black Arms do have their own consciousness. They just work as a hivemind naturally ala actual Bees (on top of Black Doom being able to take mental control of any individual). This is the case for the Edean Black Arms.

The Black Arms aren't actually native to Edea. They came from some different solar system/galaxy/idk like in canon. They arrived on the planet who knows how long ago, not with the intent to invade at least not entirely, but to find a new home.

The Black Arms that landed on Edea were actually a refugee group. Were they the only Arms left after an alien conflict? Were they cast out from the rest of the Black Arms? who knows! I don't ✨

The initial contact between Black Arms and ancient Edeans probably didn't go too smoothly, but over the years they learned to get along. somehow. Out of necessity at first (Black Arms are literally fighting for their life on a planet with a unique type of energy that can slowly kill them, Edeans aren't keen on fighting an alien race that seem to be built for warfare), but eventually the two races just started being chill.

When the tensions started to lighten up, a bunch of Black Arms started to "break away" from the traditional hivemind setup and begin to think with more individuality. I imagine this caused a schism within the Arms population at the time. But the leader/Black Doom equivalent for this little group...just kinda accepted it?

Another hc! I think the Black Arms know how and do alot of freaky things with DNA and biology and stuff. They can essentially rapidly "evolve" themselves new body parts/features similar to cuttlefish/squids. And thus, the concept of "ever changing/adapting" is smth important in Arms philosophy. Or at least for this Black Doom/Arms leader in particular.

As a result of this philosophy, and the situation the Edean Black Arms were in, BD said this was but another way to adapt. Hence, a lot of Arms slowly became more "individualized" and started mingling with the Edeans on a deeper level--like Teo's grandpa! Who literally evolved himself to have a mouth just so he can give his wife kisses probably.

In terms of lore for Black Doom himself? I use him as the stand-in for the Black Arms leader mostly because I can't think of anyone else for now. He kinda dies of old age/illness a long time ago and replaced by a "successor"

The successor was supposed to be Edean Shadow--he was literally made to be a soft reincarnation of Black Doom for the new era by being partially of Edean blood, they even uploaded Doom's old memories into him to help ease him into his role as new Arms leader. (real 5 years old with 3000+ years of experience lmao) But Shadow just figured out it wasn't for him and left. The role was then taken up by someone else, and they serve as the current "Black Doom". I haven't decided who yet, I was thinking Eclipse but I'm still trying to figure out how it would work.

"Is Shadow is still around" yes he is. sort of. Shadow has this...Thing of "dying" every few centuries and being reborn into a younger Shadow. If you know about Doctor Who, it's like that renewal thing the Doctor does. Shadow's been through many of these reincarnations, each with varying levels of connection to the incarnations before and after them. So the first Shadow is probably not the exact same person as the current Shadow.

One last thought

in this au, I think Eclipse hasn't really had a good sleep since Shadow died. He was viciously hunted down and then locked up by GUN. He's only gotten snatches of sleep here and there.

Team Dark, looking at him crying and muttering nonsense decide they need to take him somewhere safe and get some answers for this strange behavior... and I think Eclipse just passes the fuck out. His body just gives out and he sleeps for 14 straight hours.

The whole time, Shadow just next to him (in the beginning, in case it was an act) but the longer he sleeps, the longer Shadow starts to think there is something actually going on here...

👀👀👀👀👀 Really like where this is going.

Makes me curious to think like. What would happen if Shadow was able to somehow put the pieces together and discover all THAT. If that were to happen ik it probably wouldn’t for a LONG time, and it isn’t on his own, but still interesting to think about. Or does he reach a different conclusion entirely? My brainrot thinking process is all over the place rn I’m sorry, I’m excited XD

Sonic boom episode in which black doom and eclipse just… Appear on the island/in hedgehog village and instead of tormenting shadow the normal way BD pretends to be a Totally Normal Tourist/new resident and also claims to anyone who’ll listen that he’s shadow’s foster/adoptive/step/whatever father. Everyone promptly assumes that this is why shadow is Like That. He has a strained relationship with his dad. Also BD is like. A model citizen. Has tea with Amy. There is absolutely nothing that shadow could use as a reason to kick him out.

BD ALSO is still like- The Devil from The Bible but he’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt and that’s the extent of his disguise. Eclipse is there bc I love eclipse.

ah so shadow's association with hawaiian shirts runs in the family. i see

bd just shows up on the island one day with his other son that shadow didn't even know existed which only exacerbates their family issues. he may be a model citizen and proud parent on the surface and but he's objectively pretty damn bad at being a decent father (as proven by shadow being unaware of eclipse's existence until he absolutely had to know). whether he's genuine about improving and becoming more responsible remains TBD

hey wouldn't it be fun if shadow and eclipse became like a parallel/foil to sonic and tails? you have two adoptive brothers who may not be biologically related but are the ideal sibling relationship vs two biological brothers who are really only siblings by blood and nothing else because they very much are just strangers (and neither of them are the type that can just start bonding like that)

[randomfaeriedragon]

Recently been very obsessed with @weepinglilvessel's Rainworld Eclipse AU, so motivation struck and I drew fanart of Lunar Moon!

Sorry if the images are kind of fuzzy! Decal script by @ikayblythe again, its really pretty :D

Variations w/o the shadows under the cut!

And for my peace of mind, ones with purely the Red Overlay Layer Removed:

Fanarting is fun and this AU is absolutely amazing, please go check the creator out!

[eclipsethedarklingiscanon]

He didn't know how it happened

But he had fulfilled his purpose

But at what cost

He was no longer there

And he took the only thing he cared about with him

Now he was being chased

Not only by the government but by him

Was he going crazy?

Or is it a punishment for having destroyed everything he loved

[thisbrilliantsky]

talked about some tough things in therapy today so my therapist said to do something nice for myself and i said okay but i dont know what to do. i ate two kiwis. is that anything

[fosermi]

THE PRETTY BOI HAVE AT THEE!!

[skunkes]

[triptychofvoids]

hey doc! are you watching/aware of the eclipse currently? don't forget to wear the proper eclipse glasses!

-🌟

we didnt get the total eclipse here, but i got to partially see it! its wonderful that the moon is just the right distance from the earth to be able to create total eclipses, isnt it?

[boombrothersasks]

Behold. The cuteness of a snom. *Holds out a squeaking snom that seems to really like both Shadow and Eclipse. How can you tell? It crawls up to them and clings to Eclipse's foot with the little nubs on its face with the sweetest squeak and happy look on its face*

"Ah...that's the weirdest looking creature I've ever seen." Eclipse remarked, looking down at the young Shadow afterwards, who looked somewhat afraid and had to be picked up by Sonic.

"Is that like, a slug?" Sonic questioned. "I really need to get a door or something..."

"I have the urge to adopt it and become it's father figure."

"Huh?"

[theroguejackal]

Personally I think this is the most adorable drawing of a Flesh eating alien I’ve ever made

For Today’s drawing we have the ultimate life form’s brother in arms….

ECLIPSE THE DARKLING

[totaleclipse573]

Eclipse and Lark bodyswap somehow and don't tell their brothers. (So Eclipse is impersonating Lark and Lark is impersonating Eclipse.) What happens?

XD

Lark is probably just like YEAHHHHH I HAVE POWERS NOW. WOAH. I COULD CAUSE SO MUCH MORE TROUBLE WITH THI-I have two big brothers.

Either one of two things happen after that

He has to try his HARDEST to pretend at least Terios is fine. Why is Eclipse being more annoying towards Shadow than usual? Terios goes detective mode

He's TERRIBLE at faking it

Eclipse doesn't like how his powers are gone but he DOES like this new environment and new people to try out his pranks and such on. Shadow may have been fun with all his reactions but THIS IS LIKE AN EXPERIMENT. YEAH. HOW MANY HAS SHADOW NEVER DONE BEFORE? WELL HES ABOUT TO FIND OUT

ALSO WHY IS LARK CALLING HIMSELF A PRINCE??? (I also think it would be funny if the Dark Arms automatically knew it was him. From the start. He can't hide it from them.)

Buuuut them theres also problems. The main one being that they still have big brothers who will restrain them, REGARDLESS of how they're behaving. Bonus points for when one of them is found out and said brother DRAGS THEM BACK TO THEIR OWN HOME
