Since your ask things says send fic ideas:
Maybe something where Sonic ends up losing his powers (his speed and whatever the electricity stuff he does is called) somehow and he and his parents have to figure out how to live with that? Maybe while also figuring out how to get his powers back?
I've never seen the idea of how losing his powers would affect Sonic and those around him explored before, so I just think it's interesting to wonder about.
Okay, here we go. Enjoy the angst.
Sonic Loses his Powers
----------------------------
Maniacal laughter filled the room as his senses started coming to reality. His ears were ringing and the first thing that hit his nose was the stench of chemicals and machinery.
He blearily opened his eyes everything was fuzzy and he felt a headache forming. Where was he? What happened?
He drew in a long breath, and his lungs ached, squeezing his eyes shut. He realized he was laying on something cold. He was sitting in an upright position, that much was obvious. He tried to move his arm but it was stuck there. All of his limbs were tied down by something he didn't know. He couldn't open his eyes.
He tried to recall the last thing he had seen. There was an explosion... And then...
Mom and dad...
His brothers.
Where are they?
Somehow he managed to blink open his eyes again and his vision was more clear. And he wished it wasn’t. He was in a room, the brick walls were rusty and old with several cracks and what looked to be burn marks. However, the wall in front of him was glass, and on the other side he could vaguely make out someone standing there, looking like they were typing on a computer. Until that vague figure became more clear and it looked at him with a grin of pure evil.
There was a noise from the corner that crackled like a speaker “Good morning hedgehog,” Robotnik spoke not at all sounding polite.
Sonic scowled back at him through the glass.
“I'm glad you're awake so soon! That means we should go ahead and get started shall we?” His eyes were cold and heartless and they burned a hole into his soul.
His breathing hastened and he tried to move his legs move his arms anything! He needed to get away.
Robotnik smiled through the hatred in his voice. “Don’t fight it. Save your breath, you’ll need it.”
He needed to run he needed to get away but he couldn't he was stuck, the restraints were too tight.
He fought the restraints so much that he could hardly breathe and he was gaping for air. So now he sat still as a statue, paralyzed with fear.
“Where are they?!” he managed to choke out through the fear, his voice cracking on the end.
The man walked closer to the glass as he enjoyed the view of the terrified hedgehog, his face changing to amusement. “Oh who? Those two other rodents and your mommy and daddy?” Eggman said his voice getting higher toward the end. Teasing him.
The teen growled at them. “Where. Are. They?”
Robotnik was smiling with each word that drove knives into the little hedgehog's heart. “They’re dead.”
Sonic’s shrilled scream was enough to wake the dead. “HOW COULD YOU?!” he sobbed out through the tears, he felt electricity disperse through his quills as blue lightning bolts spread across the ground like electric snakes.
The man just watched with amazement and excitement not feeling any empathy whatsoever. Yes. Exactly what Robotnik needed. Keep sparking you stupid little rodent.
He felt like he couldn't breathe. The whole world was crushing in on him and he couldn't do anything but thrash uselessly against the restraints tieing him down.
Somehow through his tears and screaming he was able to pick up the sound of a machine whirring to life.
“Don’t worry.” Eggman smiled. “It will only sting just a bit.”
The hedgehog’s screams became louder and more blood-curdling as four light blue colored beams latched onto him like claws from the corners of the small room. There was pain everywhere, he couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't do anything.
His frame hunched over, baling his hands up into fists, his face in complete agony as he gritted his teeth together. The only sound he could hear above the machinery was hysterical laughter.
It felt like that one time he got tased, but this was a thousand times worse. The evil laughter stopped and then he heard a loud boom that could only be an explosion. The claw-like beams suddenly disappeared only to be replaced by the whirring of sirens. He swayed on his knees before he fell over and everything went black.
...
..
.
“....-onic!”
“-Mother he has awoken!”
He heard hurried footsteps from... somewhere. And then the sound of hushed voices.
Something touched his arm, he wanted to open his eyes but he couldn't. “Baby? Oh my God. Sonic, please wake up.” the voice sounded suspiciously like Maddie but that didn't make sense... They’re gone.
Oh my gosh they're dead. ...-is he dead?
A higher-pitched voice popped up. “I saw him move! He must be regaining consciousness any time now.” the voice was suddenly laced with worry as it trembled. “H-he will right?”
“Do not worry fox.” A boulder and deeper voice. “The hedgehog is a very strong and noble warrior it would take more than that to take him out.”
Okay, he definitely wasn't dead.
Somehow he was able to blink open his eyes squinting them against the light. And there was no mistaking his parents and his brothers standing there.
Maddie was practically right up against his face, she had tears welling in her eyes.
He saw he was laying on the couch, covered in two blankets and a pillow underneath his head.
But it didn't make sense. His family was gone right?
He reached out weakly with one arm to touch her, to really see if she was there. “M-mom,” he said but it came out more as a wheeze followed by a coughing fit.
She shakily grabbed his hand, ushering him to try and sit up because he was coughing so much. “Sweetie, you're okay, can you sit up for me?” Maddie tried to sound calm but he could hear the tension and worry in her voice.
She guided his back with her hand until he was finally sitting upright. He saw Tom out of the corner of his eyes holding a glass of water. “Here bud, drink some water okay.” his voice shared the same emotion as Maddie’s.
The glass was held up to his lips and he drank from it, not realizing how thirsty he had been.
He wanted to complain or come up with some sarcastic joke that he wasn't a baby, and that he could hold the cup himself. But he couldn't do anything besides let out a whine before clamping his jaw back shut.
His dad was instantly stroking his face with his thumb while his mom grabbed his wrist. He watched her eyes widen with fear or worry, he couldn't really tell. “Your pulse is so much slower.”
“S’cuase ‘m tired.” he said sluggishly, his ears drooping and he he lowered his head.
“No, no this is different.” There was a lot of things different about him and it was shown as clear as day. One, his fur looked paler, it has lost that bright blue tint and was more of a very light blue. Almost white. And two, his eyes once full of energy and life seemed solemn and had lost their brightness and energy.
There was a clicking sound as they all turned to see Tails holding a device in his hands as he fiddled with it. He moved past his worried parents holding it up to hedgehog for at least ten seconds, the concern growing in his face the longer time ticked on. He swallowed then spoke “When I would face this at Sonic before it would always beep. I built this to find him a long time ago and used it to track his chaos energy, but now it's showing that there's... Nothing.” The fox twidled with his namesakes looking uneasy.
“What does that mean?” Tom asked fear lacing his voice.
“It means that there is no chaos energy in his body anymore, that energy is what allowed him to run that fast and generate electricity.” He didn't like what he had to say next, ”Robotnik must’ve taken it somehow. I'm honestly surprised that he made it out alive.”
Sonic’s shocked terrified cry cut the family’s hearts clean in half. All four of them rushed over to give the hedgehog a hug.
Even Knuckles, the bravest and most stubborn of the family felt a few tears well up in his eyes seeing his brother like this. “Do not fear brother. We will avenge you and give the robot man what he deserves.”
Not even their hugs or comforting words could ease the hedgehog's cries.
----------------------------
(I'm not sure if I'll ever finish this or not but for now your stuck with the angst.)

my very serious writing advice for people who are trying to write more morally complex characters is to stop caring about their morality and focus instead on their individual motivations
it’s hard to articulate exactly what I mean, but the essence of it is basically: when a character does a murder, not only do I not care about whether they’re justified in doing so, it’s straight-up irrelevant. a character’s moral standing from some nebulous universal standard has no bearing on the plot or their interactions with other characters and has no use in the story for me as a writer. what does matter is why the character thought they were justified and then if it comes up to other characters, what they think about it.
you can obviously think about your characters’ morality but it’s not your job as a writer to interpret your stories for your readers and tell them how to judge your characters. your readers can see the evidence for themselves and draw their own conclusions. your job is just to understand why a character is motivated to act in a certain way and have it make sense
focusing on character motivations is a much more versatile framework than trying to give them specific personality traits or moral alignments, and frankly more useful to understand why a character would do a certain thing instead of just what they do. that way when something fucked up happens and your character starts acting differently, there’s an actual logical reason for it that isn’t you forcing characters to do things because it’s what’s required to make the plot go
when you write your characters with the understanding that people are not static and they act differently under different circumstances, complexity in character and morality follows naturally.

I feel bad for Starlo.
Star has a point, idk what the four were ticked off about, there is like 99% chance everyone willingly participated in the trolley problem, based on what we've seen of his behavior thus far it's not like Starlo to be that big of a jerk/drag them by force/yell at them to do it. Ed's words:
Tumblr media
he does it because Star asks NICELY
Tumblr media
clearly jealous
It genuinely seemed like a fun time/fun roleplay, especially since every day is the same. Like, the five are supposed to be a rowdy and adventures bunch, what exactly did Starlo do wrong, I'm genuinely confused and curious. Except taking a big liking in Clover (his posse should know that this is a big moment for him, according to Blackjack they've known each other since high school and had the same liking for westerns. So they were basically a nerd gang.) Starlo was kind, patient and considerate towards Clover the whole time, even warned Mooch about them not being bandits, taught Clover gun safety, wanted to bring his posse along for a fun time, thanked Ace for telling him about getting Clover a new hat...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sure, at first he only liked Clover for being a human, but as Ceroba says, that changed and he grew to genuinely care about them, plus I can't help but think Star saw himself in Clover and that's part of the reason he was so proud of them all the time even when they messed up (I'll talk more about this at some point)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What exactly made Ace want to leave the gang? He even said how he doesn't mind "getting run over by the fake train"
Tumblr media
he's so nice. says sorry for forgetting the safety goggles even when he was scatterbrained due to his excitement. I love him so much
The only real "faults" (I'll call them temporary faults) I saw in Star during the Wild East section was that he was even more enthusiastic and more proud than usual. But how couldn't he be when he met a member of the species that he has admired for so long because they have real cowboys and sheriffs on the surface (who are seen as brave heroes who deliver justice, while Star canonically feels like a nobody farmer). His posse should have realized Clover wouldn't be there forever and just let their boss enjoy himself with his "deputy who'd have to leave sooner or later anyway"(or be more patient with him/ask him why he feels this strongly towards Clover/if there's a deeper reason for that). His friends including Ceroba just turn their back on him so quickly instead. The moment he's gotten the chance to feel valued for once and put himself first and not have to take care of this whole town and everyone in it and live his dream of meeting a real human, suddenly "his personality is damaged?"
Star's literally built this whole town, organised everything, he worries about everyone, Ceroba (plus was the one to give her emotional strength before and after Clover's sacrifice), Kanako, the monsters, his family, struggles with feelings of worthlessness yet never wipes that smile off his face, always does his best to be hopeful and optimistic and make others laugh, gave his posse a nap time so they don't become exhausted, gave Ceroba a free home, didn't act upon his feelings towards her and was a 110% supportive, caring friend instead. THAT'S who he is. He's the papa bear of this friend group, the glue holding everyone together.
He was just *really* excited. Y'all know he's insecure and just wishes to escape who he is and yet y'all blame him for liking Clover so much. Yeah, the four are very clearly jealous. But why won't the four of you control your feelings for a while? As mentioned, Clover WILL HAVE TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY. They won't be Star's "deputy" forever (the kid who's just as into westerns as he is, who values justice just as much, who also values doing the right thing. Someone he clearly felt understood in the presence of, whom he loved; just look at the way he talks about Clove during Showdown). Star seems genuinely confused of what he did wrong poor guy just wanted to live his fantasy for once and feel important:
Tumblr media
Even at the beginning Moray's like "oh no Martlet is upset" Mooch replies "don't be a buzzkill nothing exciting ever happens around here" and Ray's like "Yeah you've got a point"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you all agreed to have a little fun with a human who will very soon leave forever why is Starlo's enthusiasm such a big problem? If the posse weren't into this after all (unless they were simply too jealous which could have been solved with a honest talk and a little patience) why are you doing this "rowdy" job with Star in the first place? Do you want your boring routine day to day life so much back? Or just for Clover to leave (which they will soon enough)? You, western enthusiasts, literally met a real human, A HUMAN FROM WESTERNS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIONATELY INTO (clearly not as passionate as Star but passionate ENOUGH to understand where he's coming from).
... okay.

Thinking about the Hunted and the Paranoid They'd be such a force to be reckoned with if one of the others got hurt (assuming separate bodies for my convenience). They'd both immediately be in protective mode because a) injured member of the flock, susceptible to preditors, must protect until healed and b) if its not properly treated it might get worse, it might get infected and then they'll die and a piece of the group will be lost and then they'll all start dying and everything will be terrible forever.
So whoever is injured is dragged to the nest or whatever place is currently safest to be fussed over by the Paranoid while the Hunted watches over them. I can see the Hunted being like 'I'll protect you' and sitting on top of them, covering their body like an overprotective blanket while Paranoid worries over them being crushed or suffocated by the protective cuddle. They're fine Hunted is like 90% fluff and feathers. Not that heavy, perfect blanket. Everyone who isn't injured has to avoid them because Hunted will lash out if you get too close to the injured person he's protecting, abs then they get stuck in there with the injured person because they've been scratched.
I can see the others reacting in a variety if different ways to this.
Hero, Broken, Opportunist, and Smitten would probably enjoy the attention.
Hero a bit more bashful and grateful for the help even if its excessive which it probably is.
Broken being a mix of shocked that anyone would be nice to him and mopey about how he doesn't deserve it and what's the point in helping him. He's just going to get hurt again later anyway.
Opportunist takes the opportunity (ha) to get attention and affection and conformation that everyone likes him because let's be honest with ourselves he may act cocky but that man is desperate.
Smitten is a weird one. He's the type to be all 'these five stab wounds are nothing in the face of my dedication and love', but he probably loves being taken care of. He would prefer if it was the princess though.
Cold and Skeptic would just put up with it.
Cold doesn't care enough to stop them, though he will tell them that he's fine and they're being stupid and his broken arm isn't a problem, pain isn't a bad thing, they don't believe that and Paranoid tries yet again to explain to him why pain is bad.
Skeptic knows it's excessive but he also knows it'll soothe their worries if he lets them confine him to the nest for a week. He can do his philosophy in there it isn't a huge deal for him. He gets to pester them about the inner workings of their minds while he's there too, enrichment.
Cheated, Contrarian, and Stubborn would complain the whole time.
Cheated would so be a whiner about the whole thing. He hates being hurt, and he hates being taken care of even more. It's like an admission that whatever hurt him won. Which it didn't. He'd be even more upset if they didn't fuss over him though because that wouldn't be fair.
Contrarian would hate being stuck in one place for an extended period of time. Just knowing he's not allowed to leave makes him want to really bad, plus he gets bored easy and Hunted keeps puffing up and hissing at everyone until they leave so he can ensure Contrarian is safe so he only has these two worryworts to talk to and they're no fun to wind up because they're too busy fussing to react to his japes and such.
Stubborn would hate being seen as weak. He doesn't need to be protected or patched up, he's stronger than that. They'd still get him to let them do it, but like the Skeptic it's only for their piece of mind. He still complains the whole time.
Hunted would hate being injured and having Paranoid fuss over him. He doesn't like staying still. He'd probably sit through it though because he's objective enough to understand that if injured he does need to heal. After all, how will he evade preditors if injured?
Paranoid I could see appreciating the Hunted watching over him. He'd patch himself up tho, no one is getting near him while he's hurt, Hunted helps keep everyone else away though so it works.

#my art stuff#beetlejuice#cartoon#toonjuice#digital art#bugs#emoji#I made my own brush for the bugs so I can use them in the future#I’m trying to make art more enjoyable for myself and that means making it much less complicated and take less time#so I’m hoping to use this brush more in the future when drawing beej#or things in general#I’m getting better at lightning the weight I put on myself with my art#but it’s an upphills battle and I am STRUGGLING#I’ve been using this eene inker randomly for a while now and it’s making art so much easier to do for me somehow#but it looks so disgusting in my art. not cus it’s an ugly brush. I think it’s really nice-looking actually#but I have such a strong need for all my art to look clean and for every line to be intentionally put where it is#I have a tendancy to go in and fix singular pixels in EVERYTHING when I draw. even if just to make it intentionally look unintentional#but this brush does it on it’s own and I haven’t felt this relaxed while making digital art in MANY years and it’s STRESSING ME OUT#but it’s good that I can relax. That’s the goal.

"Durge and Astarion are canon your honor!"
Well canon Durge is a white male dragonborn sorcerer and yet y'all are making cute little drow girlies and sexy little tiefling twinks to get at that extra content so what's the truth?
Oh that your personal preferences are somehow more canon than someone else's because the devs didn't have enough time to write extra content for every companion, leaving an unfair and imbalanced emphasis on the one character that did get extra content? That you feel your choices are validated because they're reinforced by poor planning/game design? Hmm. Hmm. Hmmmm 🤔

[Images description: Twelve pictures of Star Trek actors. The phrase "thank you for being both amazing actors and amazing people" is written across most of the images one word at a time, except for the two images in the middle. The middle images are of William Shatner, reading "not you!" and Robert Beltran, reading "or you for that matter". The actors in the other images are George Takei, René Auberjonois, DeForest Kelley, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Kate Mulgrew, Patrick Stewart, Siddig El Fadil (aka Alexander Siddig), Nichelle Nichols and Leonard Nimoy. End image description.]
Non exhaustive list of course. Many more such cases, in fact feel free to add

Do you think they eventually talk about how they feel? How both of them are ignoring each other's talents? How they're constantly being upstaged or betrayed? Also... their romantic tension..?
