The Sonic and Shadow cars look like something you find in the deepest corners of DeviantArt.

In reality they were found in the deepest corner of a Game store, alongside some miscellaneous discounted plastic tat

It does have multiple layers of weirdness though.

First, you have a toy that’s like a fusion between hot wheels and a stretch armstrong. Odd, but i guess there are weirder kids toys out there.

Second, there was somebody at Sega who signed off on this licensing agreement. Well, they must be somewhat confident it’ll sell. Although, you’d think for something like this they simply go with the design of their cars from Team Sonic Racing?

Thirdly, somebody out there decided to make them look like the cars from Pixar’s Cars but like… infinitely more horrifying. This isn’t even standard for the toy brand by the way, their non-crossover cars are dinosaur themed. I mean I guess that’s why they decided to give the Sonic cars faces since the non-crossover ones have faces but like… the non-crossover ones pull it off way better.

Follow up on the tropes... what are some things that will make you NOPE out of a fic?

Secondhand embarrassment is so uncomfortable for me I just can't even, so anything that hinges too much on that kind of thing is my first thought. I hate contrived or obviously mishandled miscommunications that someone gets super upset over, really not into those comic misunderstandings that go on forever just because someone won't listen/is being oblivious/is overreacting too much to be reasonable.

i have never considered shikatematayu as a ship but your drabble was excellent!! I'm into it!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! 💖

I am writing the fic I want to see in the world so if you are interested in more pls allow me to shamelessly plug my fic where Shika and Temari capture a feral sound nin with flagrant abuse of found family tropes and make her fall in love with them. Still in progress but I am determined to finish. (I write kinda slow because life likes to eat all my brain power).

(Full disclosure for you specifically, Kabuto has a villainous role in Ch 2 and I'm not far enough into the story for him to see any redemption yet soooo fair warning he's illustrated as a bad guy at this stage. 😆)

Do you forgive me?

I mean, this isn’t really something that needs forgiven, per-say, I’m just hoping to help someone correct a mistake before they’re in too deep.

But I will be pretty happy if I can see you demonstrating better crediting habits in the future

Does Amy in Underground Remixed have a different design?

Yes! Here’s three outfit variations too: casual, apprentice cloak, and debutant ball guest

Do you do art request

Dude I literally answered this exact same question a couple of days ago: I take suggestions but I only draw the ones I like

Hi there!

I like to ask a question about your Sonic Underground retrospectives. I'm hoping to do something similar with another DiC Animation show, Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action! (I won't do every episode sadly as there's 7 missing in English atm. Yeah *that* show is partially lost media. I might do them later if they get found.)

What was your process when doing these retrospectives, especially regarding notetaking and writing down your thoughts on each episode? And with the screencaps, did you take them as you watched the episode, or were there also some screencaps where you had to go back and capture specific moments to highlight?

wow, i did those about 6/7 years ago- it’s been a while but i’ll try my best to remember how i did them.

while watching the episode i’d take very short,quick notes on anything that came to mind, pausing the episode if needed. iirc I used notepad on desktop to take notes, but the notes app on your phone or a physical notebook would also work.

Then, i’d open Word and turn those quick notes into longer, fully formed sentences, adding analysis. After, I’d open up the episode again and take the relevant screenshots. At the time SU was on Netflix and that’s what i was watching the show on. I had to use the Snipping Tool to get around their anti-share measures

There’s probably more efficient ways of doing the above, since it’s a four-part process if you include copying all this to tumblr, but it’s the best that 17 year old me could come up with.

Do you do art request

Eh, I’m open to suggestions if you wanna put any in my askbox but i’ll only do it if it really interests me

Rouge has a new outfit?

This one from the Forces mobile game! It goes so hard. It’s like the cupid Rouge I drew for Valentines a few years ago but even better
