Okay I got Kitsune Tails AU on the brain lately and I just had a really funny idea involving Blaze.
In case you don't know what I'm taking about you can find links to all 3 posts so far here on my master list post, this one will be #4 though it's not really connected to the other 3 so you don't have to read them to understand this nonsense my brain conjured.
But moving on.
So what if when Blaze first met Sonic and Tails she immediate clocked Tails as a Kitsune. Like in her dimension they're not common but well known enough that most of the general populace has at least heard of them. So she just sees Tails and just in her mind is just "oh Sonic's best friend/brother is a kitsune, cool"
The only thing that confuses Blaze a bit is when Sonic refers to Tails as his little brother cause like ??? she's not blind, he clearly has two tails, but some are known to be more child like until at least their 3rd or 4th tail so maybe that's what they mean, maybe????
This all comes to a head when she lets it drop one day that Tails is a Kitsune. Like they're just all talking, maybe about how Tails' tails let him fly (another kitsune au theory here about that), and Blaze just says something like:
"Oh! It's because he's a kitsune!"
And everyone else just record scratch stares at her cause they don't really know what that is so like Sonic or someone is like:
"No he's a fox, wha...???? clearly he's a fox, what are you talking about????"
But Blaze just keeps going on like:
"Yeah but he's specifically a kitsune. He's already got his second tail too! :)"
Cue just everyone being like
"wait..hold up..pause.rewind that. Tails isn't (I'm not) just a fox with a mutation???!! (I'M) HE'S JUST A DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FOX!!! FOR THE WHOLE TIME!!?!!"
And this is where Blaze has the 'Oh shit they didn't know' moment.
She then goes on to tell them everything she knows about them including the 'they live for 1000 years' part and now cue Tails' first of many midlife crises at the tender age of 8. (which they also have to explain to Blaze like "yeah he's 8 years old.....no we don't know how he got the second tail already he just came with it")
(I have this idea though that in Sonic's dimension kitsune fox's are incredibly rare to they point they're just thought of as myths, if someone's even heard of them to begin with. Or that they don't exist at all and Tails is actually originally from Blaze's dimension or some other dimension which is why he has no parents but has a family name, yet no one still seems to have any idea where he actually came from, but it's a universal constant he end up where ever Sonic is cause they're brothers and supposed to be together.So if there is no Sonic Tails gets yeeted to where there is one.)

After my most recent rewatching of the Frontiers cutscenes for other purposes (making fun of how bad they are), I have noticed something, something that let me to have a new headcanon
One that y'all will be forced to read right now, whether you like it or not, and the worst part is that I have evidence of what I am saying, kind of, because this isn't a very serious headcanon, this is just shitposting.
Tumblr media
When Sonic first comes across Knuckles, this is the face he makes
Tumblr media
They talk for like 1 minute, knuckles punches sonic's hand and this is the face he makes
Tumblr media
Knuckles replies with this face
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sonic immediately replies with this face
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then right after they have a staring contest doing these faces
Tumblr media
When attacked by Sage, sonic dismises knuckle's advise by doing this face
Tumblr media
By the end of his story, they stare at each other like this for like a minute before doing something else
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this is what they do literally on the next scene, like the very next one.
So why did I filled this post with many many pics of sus faces by sonic and knuckles?
Well, because they are the base of my headcanon
Sonic and Knuckles are totally fucking, and not even like on the side type of thing, no, these two are fucking fucking, like fuckbuddies but more bros, fuckbros if you will, they don't say anything about it but everyone that is their true adventure companion or spends enough time with them knows, like Tails, but nobody minds, its their thing and it kinda fits them, everything is a competition with these two dorks
But wait, I hear you say (Actually no), what about Rouge, isn't Knuckles dating her? Well yes! And why you act like those two things are mutually exclusive? Rouge knows, actually she knew even before getting on her thing with Knuckles, and she supports it, the bat is by far one of the oldest characters around besides Big and Vanilla, so she has seen a hell of a lot, and besides, for the type of shit she gets up to, this is like entry level, trust me, you don't wanna go there; she thinks its funny to see the lenghts these two are actually willing to go just to one up the other, she even openly comments about it when in the company of either of these two or someone else that knows, because when you know, you know.
That brings me to my next point, the reason why Sonamy has never been canon other than teasing and baiting, it's because Amy doesn't knows, and Sonic knows that she wouldn't get it, she is younger than Sonic, and her whole life has been pretty normal and average, so why any of these things would ever cross her mind? Sonic thinks that hanging out with Amy is cool and all, and he probably thinks she is cute and so on and so on, but its just more than that, she just wouldn't get it, and that's a problem, so that's why Sonic never took things that far or went serious mode with it.
What about Shadow? Not only he knows, he is also included on the shit, what? Are you for real gonna tell me that these two don't become like 90% gayer on the presence of one another, he is also a hot headed mess that won't give an inch to Sonic because not beating him means losing to him, so he also gets down on that zaza. Oh and BTW, Rouge knows of Shad's involvement too, she encourages it actually, like some sort of enabler of kinkyness, which is the type of friend that everyone needs and everyone should have.
I hope that y'all hated this, if you did then that means I did it right, this is why I shouldn't have the freedom to simply post whatever crosses my mind, follow me for more weird and crack headcanons of any and every franchise.
If you didn't hated this, thought it was funny or actually agree, congrats, you're one of the real ones, mostly because you know I'm saying facts right here
I won't be taking questions, and I won't be changing my mind

the sonic franchise has a misogyny problem
hello everyone, are you ready for another long essay by me? because i sure am. this has been on my mind for a while now. i've already talked about how the sonic fandom tends to treat the female characters worse than the male characters. but what about the franchise? do they treat the female characters better? well, in this essay i'm gonna talk about the misogynistic aspects of the sonic franchise. i'm not just gonna focus on the games, but also on other adaptations. so sit back, and lets have a long talk.
Tumblr media
(art by evan stanley)
the lack of recurring female characters
quick question, how many recurring female characters can you name off the top of your head? no, the non game characters don't count, and no, the ones who only appeared in one game and then disappeared don't count. i can only name four recurring female characters - amy, blaze, rouge, and cream. maybe vanilla too. compare that to the amount of recurring male characters - we have sonic, tails, knuckles, shadow, silver, the chaotix, eggman. yeah you can see the problem. and these four characters aren't even utilized that well as of late. blaze especially has so much potential. she lives in another dimension for christ's sake. but sega just doesn't do anything with her. she deserves her own game to explore her dimension. like, there's so much potential with these characters but they just don't do much with them.
the way they treat their lead female character
amy rose is the main female character of the sonic franchise. i've already written an entire essay on how she's treated so i'm gonna try and keep this short. the way sega used to treat their main female character is appalling. she already got enough hate from the fandom, and sega just didn't make it better. just look at how the social media team used to treat her
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i have never seen any sonic characters get this much jabs from the social media team as her. heck, i've never seen a lead female videogame character get treated as badly as amy. and the way they purposely go to exclude her? just look at what happened with mania. it was supposed to be a celebration of all things classic sonic but they didn't have her there even though she was a classic character. instead they brought two characters from an obscure arcade game. which... yeah its nice to see obscure characters get the chance to shine but you don't have to exclude a main character for that. and even in origins, though she's in the marketing and cutscenes, she's not playable. why? and before you say "oh its because she wasn't playable before", tails and knuckles weren't playable in sonic 1 either yet they were able to be included there. so what's wrong with making amy playable? what else am i supposed to call the purposeful exclusion of the classic era's only female character other than misogyny? seriously, i've never seen any other franchise do this to their lead female character. even PRINCESS PEACH gets treated better. peach got her own damn game. what's sega's excuse? if they treat their lead female like this, what does it say about how they treat their other female characters?
and one last thing. i've already touched on this before but it makes me angry so i'm gonna rant on it again. the way sega seems to think amy's role in sa2 in reminding shadow of his true promise to maria is replaceable. and every time she's been replaced, its a male character who took her place (chris in x, implied to be sonic in archie). and honestly, i don't have high hopes that they'll let her keep that role in the movie either. i don't even have high hopes that she'll appear in the movie. forgive me for being a negative nancy but i've been disappointed too many times.
archie's treatment of its female characters
lets talk about archie now. pre reboot archie sonic, especially before flynn came around, was an embarrassment to the franchise for many reasons. but what i don't see many people talking about is how they treated their female characters.
lets start with sally, since she's the comic's lead female. those who know her from satam know her as the leader of the freedom fighters, a strategic genius, a no nonsense princess who is determined in her goals. but in archie, especially when penders came along, her agency was taken away. once king max was rescued, penders didn't know what to do with sally. so she had little personality besides being a princess. and need i mention how he tried to kill off sally in the most anticlimatic way? she spent most of the time after the endgame arc being stuck in the castle, not joining sonic and co on battles like she used to. and need i mention the utterly disgusting aspect that is her """"""relationship""""" with geoffrey? there is one issue i particularly remember when geoffrey kissed sally without her consent and sonic saw it from afar. what does he do? does he confront geoffrey about it? does he protect sally? nope, he just thinks that sally is trying to make him jealous. what the fuck?! she's legit being sexually harassed and you're just going to blame her for it? i know this was the 90s but STILL. and to make matters worse, sally is 16 while geoffrey is in his 20s.
and let me talk about how characters are introduced solely to be a love interest. like mina mongoose. i've got nothing against her but lets face it, she was introduced solely to create drama in sonic and sally's relationship. and they even gave her super speed just so she could have something sally didn't, so she could be a "competition" to sally. they didn't even do anything with it later. and flynn has it retconned so that mammoth mogul was the one that gave her that power.
and speaking of which..... ig every female character has taken interest in sonic at one point. we have sally, amy, mina, fiona, bunnie.... it seemed like they wanted sonic to have as many love interests as possible. i mean just look at this cover
Tumblr media
and if they weren't into sonic, they were into any other boy. mostly knuckles. and speaking of which, lets talk about julie-su. she's supposed to be this strong woman type character but penders made her whole personality being knuckles' gf. she occassionally showed her "girl power" when she was sticking it to vector (who was turned into a misogynistic asshole to make julie look good. granted this was before heroes gave him a personality but after that you'd think they'd change up vector's character). flynn and occassionally bollers tried to make her interesting but she just didn't do it for me imo. and lara-su, knuckles' daughter who was supposed to be the main character of the "mobius: 25 years later" arc, got sidelined in her own arc. she doesn't have much of a personality there other than wanting to be the next guardian.
now when flynn came along the treatment of the female characters got better. and even more so after the reboot. but i feel like this is something we should talk about.
"only male hedgehogs can go super"
this is, without a doubt, the stupidest mandate ever. i get it, going super is something not everyone can do and if that was the case, the super form would lose its specialness. but why specify only male hedgehogs? the "hedgehogs" part is already stupid enough because tails and knuckles have gone super before, but why the "male" part? why specify that? seriously, give me one good reason why only make hedgehogs should be able to go super. i can't think of any reason this mandate exists besides sexism.
female characters being less utilized than male characters
this kind of ties in to the first point, but the female characters are generally less explored than the male characters. we have few recurring female characters and sega doesn't even utilize them that much. again, blaze has so much potential. there's so much about her to be explored, but sega just..... doesn't do that. we don't even see her much in the games anymore.
and lately, cream is also being excluded from the games. the last mainline game she appeared in was generations. and tell me, what was the reason for cream to be replaced by the chao in team sonic racing? this is amy's little sister figure, and you're just gonna replace her without giving an explanation as to where she is? at least with espio and charmy, they had a reason to not be with vector here. but with cream, there's no reason she's not here.
the female characters have so much potential. they have interesting aspects to them, dare i say it, some of them are even more interesting than the male characters. but sega just doesn't see that.
that's all for my rant. in short, sega has a history of mistreating or underutilizing their female characters as compared to their male characters. though its getting a bit better, they still have a long way to go.

What is your headcannon for Amy's family if you don't mind me asking?
omg thank you for taking an interest in those tags i made!! but also im crying because i typed up a whole response to this only for my screen to freeze and delete everything i had written
Tumblr media
but anyway
i cover it a little in my fic if the glove fits, but my hc is that amy's parents severely neglected her at a young age (this taking place before the events of sonic cd) to the point of rarely coming home. neighbors eventually realized what was going on and reached out to amy's grandmother, who amy was sent to go live with until she passed around the time leading up to sonic cd (which i also hc being the reason amy became so attached to sonic tails and later knuckles as quickly as she did)
i know a common theory is that a majority of sonic's friends are orphans hence the way they live, but i think amy being a case where her parents Are alive but choose to be uninvolved just... i dunno. it clicks for me as someone who has experienced it + its repercussions growing up. i see a lot of familiar feelings of frustration and loneliness in her sonic x characterization (which made her my go to favorite as a kid LOL). but also? i think it just fits well with the whole "ditching amy" schtick previous sonic media was on.
basically. i don't think sonic tails or knuckles have any personal experience with actively being abandoned like amy. we know about knuckles, but as for sonic & tails in the game canon there's like... nothing about their families. they're most likely all gone, and while the circumstances behind that can be picked apart and mulled over another time the bottom line is that i don't think any of them at one point stopped to consider what running off without amy might be implying. they've never had to consider a perspective like hers before. and for amy, it's something she doesn't want to talk about for obvious and personal reasons.
BUT! amy eventually does talk to them about it. maybe not in full personal detail, but she does tell them how being left behind really makes her feel. conversations are had. behaviors are adjusted. i like to think this is why tails especially has been going out of his way to always include amy and invite her along in recent sonic media! that's his sister she isn't allowed to feel sad on his watch.
also also amy has no interest in looking for her parents or finding anything out about their lives after she left. she has her own family now and she's the happiest she's ever been :)

We open this issue on a bunch of badniks tormenting a young boy called Tufftee, because like in the early Archie comics, the badniks could talk when the plot requires them to. Once they introduce a larger villain roster, there’ll be less call for them to talk Regardless, Tufftee is interesting because he’s the younger brother of a much better-known Sonic character…
Tumblr media
…Sally Acorn!
Now, I’m a big fan of Sally in general, so I’ve been looking forward to getting to this story, which I didn’t realise would turn up so quickly. She only actually appears at the beginning and end of the story, but she’s here! It’s Sally! I also find it a funny coincidence that over five years later, Sally would also be given a brother in the Archie Comics, albeit an older brother called Elias. Now, I do genuinely think that these two characters were made wholly independently of each other and their creators probably didn’t even knew the other character exists (especially since I believe this is Tufftee’s only appearance), but it’s just kind of wild that out of all the characters to randomly give a brother to, both comics chose Sally
Anyway, after Tails rudely awakens Sonic (who is less than happy about that), Sally reveals that her brother wanted to play hero like Sonic and borrowed a pair of his old power boots, which Sonic thinks could still contain a bit of his power. Sonic races off before Tails has a chance to ask what to do and then we get the usual page of Sonic racing through zones, doing action hero stuff. I don't really talk about these parts as much, but I like that they include them as a “this is Sonic doing stuff like he does in the games” thing Speaking of stuff from the games, it’s only a cameo here, but we get our first appearance of the Special Zone:
Tumblr media
Now, in StC, the Special Zone has a narrative importance that it doesn’t have in most other Sonic spin-offs. It’s treated as a place within itself and it’s also home to the Chaotix of all people, but we’ll get to that later. For now, Sonic has Tufftee to save
Tumblr media
Which he achieves easily enough. We get a few pages of Tufftee being tormented by the badniks, before Sonic comes along to defeat them and rescue him. I love that one of the critters in that panel above straight up looks like someone's pet cat
Tumblr media
Tufftee manages to save Sonic at the last minute, which reassures him in his own mind that he’s a hero, even if Sonic isn’t very enthusiastic about it. Also, I didn’t post this panel, but there was a part earlier on where we see that Tufftee couldn’t control the speed that the shoes magically granted him, as a little “there’s more to being Sonic than just going really fast”
Tumblr media
We end this issue with the siblings being reunited and Sonic bluntly taking his shoes back from Tufftee, with the warning that they only work for him. Like I said before, I don’t believe we see Tufftee again after this? I can understand why, since StC already has Tails as the younger character working hard to prove himself to his hero, so we don’t need another character basically filling that same role in the comic. Even so, I like it when Tufftee appears with Sally in StC fanwork. Y’know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone make an AU where Sally has both her brothers, Tufftee and Elias, but idk I think it might be interesting? Sally has a lot of middle sibling traits already Also, to wrap us up, I just wanted to talk about the art here, which is a vastly different style to the first two issues. For this issue, we had Casanovas on art duty and, while I haven’t been posting about the non-Sonic stories, this more-detailed style is actually closer to the high-fantasy styles used in the other comics featured in StC at the time. It’s definitely a ‘your mileage may vary’ sort of thing, but I like it purely for the nostalgia of this era of StC. We’ll be seeing a lot more of the fantasy-setting angle in regards to Tails’s backstory at some point as well

Are the ArchieSonic comics actually an 80's/90's syndicated cartoon? Episode 40: The one episode that's unique to the show's premise and characters (part 4: Spark of Life)
Welcome back to my look at the ArchieSonic comic series, and how it shared a lot of the same story tropes as a typical ‘80s or ‘90s syndicated cartoon. Today I have one last story arc I want to look at for the “episode that’s unique to the show’s premise or characters,” category. It’s the fan-favourite story arc Spark of Life, published in Sonic Universe #71 - 74!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taking place during the Shattered World crisis adapting Sonic Unleashed post-reboot, Spark of Life saw Sally, Nicole, Tails and Big travel to Isolated Island (from Knuckles’ Chaotix) to answer a digital distress call from Nicole’s creator, Dr Ellidy. Venturing into the digital world, Nicole discovered Dr. Ellidy was being threatened by a rogue A.I. that was interfering with the reprogrammed badniks Ellidy had turned into his housekeepers, and which also tried to get its hands on Ellidy himself when he digitised himself to investigate the problem in Cyberspace. Combined with the continuing threat of the Dark Gaia monsters appearing at night and a shocking revelation about Nicole’s origins, the Freedom Fighters had a lot on their plates for this story.
Tumblr media
Spark of Life is one of only a handful of stories written by Aleah Baker (with Aleah writing the script based on her husband Ian Flynn’s plot). Aleah regularly contributed to ArchieSonic for years by doing character designs, colouring, and working on the letter pages’ gag strip, Off Panel, as well as writing a number of stories for the post-reboot era. As well as Spark of Life, this includes the stories Light in the Dark in Sonic #260 - 262, Consequences in Sonic #263, Hidden Costs in Sonic #277 - 279, The Case of the Pirate Princess in Sonic Universe #91 - 94, and Knuckles vs. Break Man in Sonic: Worlds Unite Battles #1. Aleah has unfortunately not been able to write for IDW Sonic yet due to poor health, although last year she did colour an absolutely gorgeous cover for issue #50. I’m sure that I speak for all of us when I wish her all the best and hope that she gets better..
So what makes Spark of Life so special? Well a lot of it has to do with Nicole, and the relationships she has in this arc. By the time of this story Nicole had come a long way from the talking handheld computer she was first introduced as, developing into a real person with feelings, hopes, and dreams. Nicole and her development as a character was a large part of the Iron Dominion arc and its aftermath, but that was partially lost after the comic was rebooted and the Freedom Fighters’ backstories were all rewritten to be similar to the old canon but different enough to be distinguishable. Nicole’s awakening as a sentient being is shown as a flashback in this story, and it’s very similar to how it was pre-reboot, with Nicole creating a hard-light holographic avatar for herself and stargazing with Sally.
Tumblr media
But how she got to that point was the big difference, as this time she didn’t have wacky body-swap shenanigans with Sally. She also wasn’t sent back in time to be Sally’s friend by a future Rotor - instead she was given to a young Sally as a present by Dr Ellidy. But it’s only during the events of this story that we find out why Dr Ellidy created Nicole in the first place.
Tumblr media
Nicole was actually a failed attempt at creating a digital existence for his daughter Nikki, who was dying of a chronic disease. The idea was that he would be able to preserve Nikki’s mind in the digital world, but all he was able to create before Nikki passed was an A.I. that seemed emotionless and did not have any sense of identity or personality. Heartbroken, Dr. Ellidy decided to leave Mobotropolis and retire to Isolated Island, leaving the AI (now named Nicole by King Nigel) with Sally as a gift. However Dr. Ellidy was apparently more successful than he realised, as over time Nicole developed into an actual person - going from JARVIS to Vision, if you like. Dr. Ellidy lived up to the name of his new home and stayed isolated from the rest of the world for the most part, although he would occasionally make contact with the Kingdom such as when he sent Sally the ring blades that had become a part of her new design post-reboot. But Dr Ellidy wasn’t aware of how much Nicole had grown over the years and so he was naturally shocked when she came to his rescue in the digital world, and harboured some resentment towards her because she reminded him of Nikki.
The other main relationship that was focused on in this story was that of Nicole and Sally, as this issue was the first step on the road for the two of them becoming a couple. More like Spark of Romance, amirite?
…anyway! It was subtle and sadly not able to be followed up on before the series was cancelled, but the seeds of the romance that was supposed to come were there. With Sally, we got to see that she cared about Nicole very deeply and was very upset by how Dr Ellidy was treating her as if she were not a real person.
Tumblr media
And for Nicole we got to see some character growth for her, as she started out chastising Sally for putting herself at risk at the beginning of the story but later realised she would do the exact same thing for her.
Tumblr media
Nicole totally had an, “Oh… she just like me. She just like me FR!” moment there!
Aside from Nicole and how the other characters relate to her, there’s a lot of other great stuff in this story. Another one of my favourite moments from all of ArchieSonic is this incredibly wholesome talk that Sally and Big had.
Tumblr media
In this house we stan Big the Cat. I'd go to him if I needed someone to talk about girls with too!
We also were introduced to Phage, the afore-mentioned malicious AI making everyone’s lives difficult.
Tumblr media
Phage was a very curious AI who was fascinated by what she did not understand, and had an interesting speech pattern which indicates she may have assimilated a thesaurus at some point. We didn’t find out her whole story at this time, but we did discover that she was created by Eggman and seemed to be looking for a way to get back in his good graces. After Nicole foiled her first attempt on Dr Ellidy, Phage took Nicole hostage instead and demanded that the Freedom Fighters bring her the red star ring and the chaos emerald hidden on the island. 
Speaking of, red star rings now became a thing!
Tumblr media
While they had technically been introduced the previous year in the Sonic Super Special Magazine, that was only in a five page story of dubious canonicity adapting the mobile game Sonic Dash, and the red star rings hadn’t been seen again since. This story served as their proper introduction, with Dr Ellidy explaining that the island’s Lake of Rings had one day created this instead of the usual standard rings and that he had been researching the increased power it generated compared to them. It was later revealed that the reason the Lake of Rings had started producing red star rings was because a chaos emerald had landed in it.
Tumblr media
The best (and most unexpected) thing about the red star rings though is that they granted Nicole a super form!
Tumblr media
But if SEGA asks, it’s not a super form, okay? It’s an overclocked form. Totally different. ;)
Dr Ellidy later gave both of the red star rings he’d obtained to Nicole as an olive branch, showing that he did actually want to have an ongoing friendship with her despite how the painful way she reminded him of his lost daughter. It was a nice gesture.
And the last thing I’d like to talk about in Spark of Life is the location. It was really neat to see the Knuckles’ Chaotix game get a shoutout in this way. It’s one of the classic games that is often overlooked (it doesn’t help that unlike most of the classic era games it has never been ported to modern consoles), and considering how different the modern Chaotix are to their classic counterparts, it’s hard to say whether it’s even canon any more. So for a long-time Sonic nerd like myself, it was nice to see it get this kind of representation. We get to see some of the badniks from the game and also the sling-rings, which actually make sense to be in this story.
Tumblr media
This is in contrast to the pre-reboot adaptation of Knuckles’ Chaotix where they just came out of nowhere. Dr Ellidy was explained to be a scientist who was researching ring technology and had actually created them (presumably Knuckles and the Chaotix came across them during the events of that game and used them to get around the island). Considering the sling-rings were Chekov’s gun-ed early in the story, it felt a lot more natural for Sally and Nicole to use them against Phage than the way the Chaotix adaptation just jammed them into the story without any setup. 
Tumblr media
So those are my four choices for most unique story arcs of ArchieSonic: Mike Gallagher’s Mecha Madness, Karl Bollers’ Return to Angel Island, Ian Flynn’s Iron Dominion, and Aleah Baker’s Spark of Life. I’d also like to shout out a couple of other Ian Flynn stories I considered for this category, but that didn’t quite make the cut:
Tumblr media
#1: Enerjak Reborn. Ian gets his hands on Ken Penders’ echidna mythos, and like Karl Bollers before him, puts his own spin on it. Also like Karl Bollers before him, he really pisses Ken Penders off in doing so. xD
Tumblr media
#2: The Tails Adventure. A very unexpected adaptation of the Game Gear game of the same name, introducing the Battlebird Armada! Tails takes Antoine and Bunnie to Cocoa Island for their long overdue honeymoon and hijinks ensue.
Tumblr media
#3: Scrambled. It’s the big showdown between Snively and Eggman! With interesting cameos from the Egg Bosses and Omega, the introduction of Orbot and Cubot, and the long awaited return of the Iron Queen!
Tumblr media
#4: Champions. A Sonic the Fighters adaptation in the middle of a Sonic Unleashed adaptation! Reintroducing a bunch of characters from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon! Only Ian Flynn would be so bold!
youtube
Well as much fun as it’s been writing for this topic, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved to be moving on to some shorter topics now. Hopefully this’ll mean there’s a shorter wait for you between posts too (but I am rather preoccupied trying to find a new home, so no promises).
Next time I’ll be looking at episode 41 of our theoretical 65 episode syndicated cartoon: “Recap the origin story in yet another clip show.” See you next time!

just finished watching sonic prime so why not share my thoughts on it? before i start rambling, i suggest you go watch it on netflix, it definitely deserves a watch.
now
Technicalities first (if i can call them that). So, judging as a viewer and not as a sophisticated critic who has read cinemtaography books, I’d say the show’s direction overall is pretty good. It’s nothing special but it’s pleasing and keeps you interested. The direction, the angles, the camera changes regarding placement and focus are well coordinated with the writing and each emotion each scene tries to convey. So, really, nothing new (i wasnt expecting a sonic show to make groundbreaking ways of storytelling through cinematography), but I believe it is worth mentioning because it plays a huge role on how one views the show. And there were many moments where I realized that a certain angle made the scene look more tense for example.
Animation! I think we all liked the bouncy styled animation, contrasting the hugely popular disney/pixar styled animation (which is good, dont get me wrong, but the animation tecnhique used in prime fits sonic a lot more imo). Also, the facial expressions are part of what made the show so great and enjoyable and I love how much emphasis they put on them, literally perfect. The details in animation, like the animalistic behaviours of sonic and co. and how they were depicted (ears twitching for example) are all very important and im glad they were implemented. And, I know a lot of us are focused on the facial expressions but we shouldnt forget abt the background as well. There definitely was attention to detail, details that were everywhere and completed the overall image of the show.
Music! the music is good what do you expect me to say like, oh that major g in the pirate scene made the scene look more tense but if it was a minor f it would make it a bit more sad and thus more fitting- no. the music was good. not surprised and props to everyone who worked on the music but i just dont think theres anything to add LOL.
Voice acting! Voice directing-wise? Really REALLY good, i wasnt expecting great performances but i was proved wrong and im happy about that. Now, for the main cast seperately? Devon has done an EXCELLENT job with his lines. His sonic voice is a combination of Roger Craig Smith and Ben Schwartz i believe but it’s also unique and very fitting for sonic, despite me not liking it at first. Brian as Eggman is meh for me, very good voice acting skills but i didnt like it that much. Ashleigh as Tails fit surprisingly well and idk why. Kazumi for rouge was a really good one, bringing rouge back to her sa2/heroes era and not the overly sexy and seducing voice she has in the games (i know its abt voice direction as well but yeah). big is meh, i dont like it. knuckles is pretty good tbh. and now, shadow the hedgehog. yes. ian did an excellent job voicing shadow and i LOVE LOVE LOVE his voice in prime, makes he’d sound like that in the games as well. i’ll stop now or i’ll start fangirling. 
Characters! I like the characters and sonic’s crew. the way the show’s written so far though has made me care about the post-apocalypse characters more than the other shatterverses. like, i like them all, yeah, but i care more about nine and knucks and rebel. maybe that was the point. also,HHHH WHY NOT BLAZE? why not silver? hoping to see them soon but PIRATE WORLD? there was a purple cat and a brown raccoon there but it wasnt blaze and marine. lost opportunity. (and rouge should have been the captain in the pirate one fr fr)
And finally, writing. I’ve seen a lot of opinions these days. Here’s mine. Good characterisation. Yes, it might surprise you but the characterisation is actually good. for every character. including sonic. maybe in a different post i could talk about every character but for now, i wanna talk abt sonic. bouncy, energetic, talkative, honest, lively, adhd coded, cheesy sometimes, reckless, extroverted who wants to work on his own from time to time. this is actually sonic. someone who loves his friends but doesnt listen to them cuz he has no patience. someone who conveys his emotions with actions and puts words aside. someone who likes to lay back once in a while, but not when the whole world is broken to pieces. someone who wants to save everyone, puts everyone above him and his needs. someone who cant stop talking, making witty remarks and jokes despite the given situation cuz he never gives up and is always hopeful and optimistic. frontiers gave us a different view of sonic’s character but it’s a very different situation as well. yet, if you carefully compare the two, you’d see how much things they have in common and how prime! sonic is very well written. 
overall writing is okay. characterisation is very good, interactions between characters are very good but some could have been better(some moments were too short for my liking), easter eggs, there are many and are greatly appreciated, many details, the recap of the prev episodes was really funny and clever but I feel like we were deprived of some great opportunities. like, eggman nega with eggman instead of the chaos council. thats just an example. and im not too salty abt it cuz it’s mainly a kids show and it shows. im glad that its enjoyable for adults like me as well though.
thats all folks. no one asked for this but youre getting it anyway.

i like to imagine underground is kinda canon in game verse (but like. Greatly Exaggerated. obviously all that stuff Didnt Really Happen) and that someday it'll come out that sonic ran away from home at a rlly young age and eventually Sonia and Manic find out abt and track him down. the idea isnt super fleshed out yet tho. some stuff is still thhe same, like the prophecy is still a thing and their mom has to give them up for. the. Greater Good? so they were sent to an orphanage. something happens that separates sonia and manic from sonic? maybe they all get adopted but sonic isnt having it and he runs away, or he ran away earlier at the orphanage. he'd b rlly young here, only like. Woof, idk, maybe like 7 or 8 at most? he finds ray and mighty and lives with them for a bit and then he finds uncle chuck and lives there with him, picking up from archie sonic's lore. uncle chuck is related to aleena, but sonic doesnt know. he just figures hedgehogs look similar sometimes.
sonia is rlly mad at sonic for leaving them behind, but she wants to find her mom and hates eggman too, so she trains to fight robots n shit and then tracks down sonic when she's older (idk, 17? idk how much older she is than sonic), taking manic with her. manic is chill. i imagine he was pretty young when sonic left, but since he always had sonia taking care of him it never rlly bothered him that much. they get adopted either by humans or by mobians who live on the continents, which is why they wear clothes and have different styled quills. they run into some of sonic's friends who help them track him down, like they meet uncle chuck and maybe mighty n ray? maybe even like. amy and the chaotix. most Definitely the chaotix, thatd b slay actually.
they find sonic again, eventually. manic is excited when he meets tails, sonia's on edge. tails is Also very confused. sonia hates him for reasons he can understand, but ultimately wasnt his fault, which is conflicting when youre 8 yrs old. manic is silly, but tails didnt expect to have Another sibling, let alone gain two at once, and hes mad sonic didnt tell him abt them. tails kinda figured uncle chuck was it. also manic looks a bit too mischievously at tails inventions and it sets him on edge a little. also tails sees sonia and sonic keep leaving to talk in private and he's mad he isnt included becuz its clearly about something important, which usually means some world-ending disaster is about to happen. i dont rlly have much story from there. they go fight eggman or unlock the. power of the. guitar necklace. and have to find their mom and fulfill the prophecy, etc etc etc. basically its an excuse for me to think abt sonia & manic AND modern sonic & tails at the same time.

Today I've seen all of the 8 Sonic Prime season 1 episodes and I must say, I WAS STUNNED.
Watch out! Includes spoilers!
It was amazing! Every universe was a good idea and I felt like I read through fanfictions. Also I felt like every single character was acting like they would do (so no shadow edgelord or dump knuckles).
Everyone had a special part!
Amy had her moment when they were in this wild wood AU (=Another Universe) (btw I dunno what they were called again. I forgot. xD)
Tails had his moment when Sonic was in this world with the eggman empire thing. Same with rouge there.
What I think about the characters:
I really liked how Rouge joined the crew and in my opinion, she should be more active in team sonic. I like seeing her on that team. Even if I love seeing her act in Team Dark, this was a special moment! I liked it when she had her moments with Knuckles. I am not a Knuxouge shipper, but these moments made me smile, 'cause they were acting like good friends.
When I looked at Tails in this wood AU, I was not very pleased, bc he acted like a wild animal. But he was still cute. Nine was the one which reminded me of the fanfiction "where was my hero" and I was really surprised when I saw his spider-like invention on his back!
What can I say about Amy? She was amazing. Even if 2 versions of her were evil, she was still good. I was a little bit disturbed when I saw her as "Rusty Rose" but it was still cool.
Eggman or these other versions of eggman were not really impressive for me. I felt like they were all a part of the scientist. Like in this disney movie: "inside out" So yeah it was a funny idea to have a baby in this, but it kinda got on my nerves. xD
Sonic was unbelievably well written! He cared about his friends, he was like he is! It was so whoaaa! He still had his rivalry with Shadow and the fighting scene was so well animated. I really liked the plot twist, that this all was actually his fault and that he learned to appreciate the moments and memories with his friends in these other worlds.
Gladly Shadow was not really an edgelord like he was before in the games. I cannot describe why I felt like that. He spoke so softly and had not this sharp voice like in Team sonic racing for example. (Btw I am talking about the german voice actor, bc I watched it in German.) What I didn't like was when he had barely any scenes but I am sure that he will get more of it in the future (if there will be a second season).
I mostly had my eyes on Knuckles this entire time (bc he is my fav character in this entire franchise) and felt good while watching Sonic prime.
Since I saw the Sonic Boom Series with "Boom Knuckles" in it, I wasn't sure if this series would make fun of him and turn him into a ... well I would say not a well written character again, but I was impressed that he had his badass moments. Of course there were a few scenes I didn't really enjoy but all in all. It was good as heck.
I really loved the part when he was captain and even if I thought he could never be a good comanda/ leader (bc in my opinion he really messed up in sonic forces) he did a very good job. Even if I hated the start at this Pirate-Universe where he hid when this other ship appeared, I like how it turned out at the end. It kinda scared me how he looked at the part of the paradox prism and I first thought he would turn evil or would betray his crew, but he didn't.
So, now I come to the animation part:
It was very detailed, like the ears were moving when Sonic and the others showed emotions or they walked. It was very cartoon-like animated but what can I say? It's a kids show. I found it kind of annoying when they repeated these whole scenes when Sonic fell down on his face or against the walls but yeah. It's still a show for kids.
Ohhhh and the references with tails code being 1992 or others were really cool.
What also caught my attention was these time skips. It was kind of confusing to understand but it was okay.
And some of the characters had FANGS! Ahhh! ><
I absolutely LOVED these pixel animation parts when they remembered a piece of the past.
Now to put it all into a summary:
It was a great series and I hope they are releasing a second season. ^w^
It was much better (IN MY OPINION) than I thought it would be.

I'm getting really tired of people defending Sonic’s “I’ve made peace with enough enemies...” in IDW #50 with “but it’s true! He didn’t kill Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, etc., he befriended them! This proves that his principles are canon and they work!”
Are they? Okay. Let’s go one by one.
Knuckles: Knuckles stopped fighting Sonic because he saw Eggman stealing the Master Emerald, and he was electrocuted in his efforts to save it. He then opens Sky Sanctuary for him, and they become friends once Sonic saved the ME.
Conclusion: Knuckles turned around and became Sonic’s ally after seeing with his own eyes how wrong he was. Sonic did nothing to convince him, he just accepted his help and restored the ME because that’s what he does.
Chaos: Super Sonic slammed into its brain and infused him with positive Chaos Energy.
Conclusion: Sonic did not sit down and try to talk Chaos out of its rage. He forcibly neutralized it.
Gamma: why are you even counting Gamma. Amy did all the work. Sonic was ready to turn him into scrap and only stepped back out of respect for Amy. (why is twitter like this...)
Shadow: Shadow, after his fight with Sonic, appeared out of nowhere to help Sonic and Knuckles against the Biolizard. Then he died and came back, and while neutral, he never helped Eggman ever again.
Conclusion: Amy was the one who made the effort of reasoning with Shadow, not Sonic. Sonic just accepted that Shadow was now going to help him.
Rouge and Omega: Sonic barely ever talked with them. Sonic and Rouge talked about Shadow when he died, but that’s about it. They were never his enemies.
Conclusion: Why are you even including them?
Gemerl: Sonic beat him up and made him crash on Earth, then Tails reprogrammed him.
Conclusion: Sonic did not reason with him. Tails pacified him through artificial means.
Silver: He appeared out of nowhere to help Sonic save Elise after Shadow made him discover the truth about the Flames of Disaster. Sonic accepted his help because he needed it.
Conclusion: Sonic couldn’t possibly reason with someone deadset on killing him. Much like Knuckles and Shadow, he just rolled with the change of events.
Merlina: Sonic tried to slash her in half when she revealed her evil plan, and then succeded to slash her Dark Queen form when turned into Excalibur Sonic. Only after she was defeated and defenseless he comforted her.
Conclusion: Sonic only showed her kindness after trying to kill her and after she couldn’t attack anymore.
Eggman: I hate Twitter so much it’s not even real. Tell me I don’t have to explain why he should not be included in the “made peace with” category 😭
Blaze: yes, this is the only case in the games that I’ve found where Sonic did make friends with someone by talking them out of it. Good job. You have one (1) instance of Sonic “making peace with an enemy”.
Missing: Babylon Rogues, because I don’t remember the plot of ZG in detail (but I think they shouldn’t be put in the same category as these other enemies, since their rivarly with Team Sonic is much pettier than the others), and Shade, because I haven’t played Chronicles. Still, two missing examples don’t put a dent in my argument, I feel.
What does this all mean?
That Sonic doesn’t hold grudges and is a good guy at heart, but you have to make the effort to change first. Sonic will not stand on a rock and wax poetics about giving you a choice, he simply does what he feels right in the moment. If you attack him, he will attack right back. If you turn on his side, he will welcome you with open arms even if he doesn’t know what made you change your mind. All his rivals turned friends were misguided or in pain, and they had to realize the problem themselves, or be forcibly changed - Gemerl sure didn’t have a choice, did he.
In conclusion:

Compilation: the Sonamy dynamic, explained in Seaside Hill Paradise (2022)
Tumblr media
[translator’s note: the original article was written in Spanish by @latin-dr-robotnik​]
Today we’re going to talk once again about the star of our show, this time to put in order some recent writing pieces and concepts.
In the last 5 years, the discussion around Sonamy made giant leaps. Old preconceptions about Sonic’s creators, the relationship between East and West, and even the importance of certain continuities over others have been made obsolete, even abandoned by the fandom in favor of more updated news.
In this period of time, we saw the death of Archie Sonic and Sonic Boom; the birth of IDW Sonic; the establishment of Sonic Studio, a studio in charge of every aspect about Sonic (except videogame development); and the retirement from the series of the writers Ken Pontac and Warren Graff (2010-2019), who have been replaced by famous Archie and IDW writer Ian Flynn to write Sonic Frontiers.
Even in the fandom itself, these five years have considerably affected the conversation. Personally, I’ve been involved in Twitter and Tumblr, and the kind of debates, investigations and conclusions drawn by all these interactions have completely turned upside down my understanding of the Sonamy dynamic in more than one occasion.

SPOILERS FOR SONIC 2
Just wanted to write something about my favorite scene in the movie that’s not the climax
We fans tend to make fun of Knuckles for trusting Eggman over Sonic. How can you look at Eggman and his evil machines and think he’s the good guy?
The movie, of course, paints a much more understandable scenario. Knuckles hates Sonic personally because he associates him with the death of his entire clan. He’s been just as alone as him, but with a mission: restore his clan’s honor by killing Sonic. And Robotnik? We see him actually helping Knuckles and doing small things to earn his trust. (also, of course, the Death Egg isn’t a thing in the movieverse so Knuckles had no reason to go “wait a minute”)
So it’s no wonder that Knuckles sees Sonic and Tails bond, and associates the same relationship with what he and Robotnik have.
And this is why his betrayal hurts even more. Knuckles wasn’t just duped and treated like an idiot: he saw Robotnik as a friend. Maybe his first friend even. And he was left to drown for his trust.
Then we have Sonic. You know how big it is, that Sonic dived underwater to save someone from drowning? The only other example I can think of is him saving Amy in Sonic X. (i think it happens in Boom too? I don’t remember)
And it was so good, to see them cooperating to push the boulder away... and okay, I genuinely thought “what the fuck Knuckles” when he swam away and I was sure that Sonic would have been saved by Tails. I underestimated Knuckles lol
But then we have their heart to heart. Man, the movie painted their parallels so well. Both lost their families at a young age, and both were crippled with loneliness since then. They can understand each other. The difference is that Sonic found a family before Knuckles did, and he’s in the position to welcome him with open arms even after everything Knuckles did.
Sonic puts it by saying that being a hero is about taking responsibility for others, quoting Tom and impressing the honorable Knuckles, but I like to see the first seeds of his canonical “I do whatever I want and what I want is helping others” personality. Or rather, “do I need a reason to help out a friend?” :) I just love how easily Sonic helps and bonds with others okay? And he empathized with Knuckles already and while he was angry at him he just forgave him like that, and Knuckles found another family after being alone for so long, and it’s all a circle and poetic cinema and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
love that scene. love it love it. Sonic and Knuckles don’t interact nearly as much as I’d like in the games (fighting notwithstanding), and seeing them sitting together in the sand just filled my heart with wholesomeness. We do some fine character development here <3

Sonic Quilford AU Custom "Arcs"
As I slowly descend into madness from making all this from just wanting to rewrite Sonic Forces, I've added some extra bells and changed some of the whistles. And since I think these deserve more than just a simple mention, they're gonna get quick summaries here.
(In between Scrapnik arc and Frontiers) Dark Arm Ops: Two months after some freak meteor shower, Vanilla starts getting suspicious of the blue hedgehog's behavior and lack of any egg-esque scientists. Upon hearing her little girl and Ms. Rose seemingly get beat up, she turns to The Chaotix Detective Agency for help. What is going on with Team Sonic? Who's that strange hedgehog they run into in Soleanna, why did he only show up after Charmy found a Chaos Emerald, and why does he look like Shadow? And where is Robotnik in all this?
Inspired by SONIC.EXE, this story has Vanilla taking the main role, plenty of silly(and not-so-silly) detectives, time loops set up through an alternate take based off this headcanon by @autisticshadowthehedgehog (which are to be explained at a future date), and the return of Mephiles from Non Existence.
(After Sonic's 18th Birthday, but before TMoStH) Lune Kingdom: While still enjoying the downtime as Amy, Knuckles, and Tails have their solo expeditions, Sonic gets a message from Team Amber that he might want to come join them exploring a little island kingdom not far from Christmas Island. Upon getting there, it turns out the royal family could be in need of some assistance, as the Queen went slightly mad, Crown Princess Sonia feels drowned in work, the leader of the local street kids seemed to know something about them, and they want him to talk to some star nosed mole they call the Oracle? And here he thought Blaze had it hard being royalty...
I knew I'd integrate elements of Sonic Underground, and that includes Sonic's family members there. Aleena, Sonia, and Manic all have their part to play, along with the Oracle of Delphius(who gets a real species this time, even if it's with some water trauma for Mr. Needlemouse(Fun fact! Star nosed moles are semi-aquatic!)). Giving the role of Sonic's companions to Mighty, Ray, and Honey just felt right. The latter two have known him the longest, after all.
(Time Jump Fair After TMoStH) Angel Island Fight: Figuring the hedgehog and kitsunefox will be easier to kill off than Dr. Robotnik, Starline decides to try and overrule a choice made by the Chaos Emeralds themselves and supplant the 18yo speedster by getting Surge his role as their guardian. How will Sonic and Tails feel upon learning the platypus has found these two? Will Surge and Kitsunami stick with Starline, or throw him off the floating paradise? On a scale of 1 - 10, just how ticked is the 18yo echidna who lives on this soon-to-be battleground?
I feel like Starline didn't get to do much before his passing(which I'll get to). I mean, he vaguely worked with Robotnik during Metal Virus, tried to kidnap Tails that one time, did kidnap Belle, then broke Surge and Kit and then, BOOM, he's dead. So, he gets to do more! And, we get to see Sonic and Tails know their foes up close and personal, with someone getting angry from what's said as he walks back from Hidden Palace with Knuckles to go support his little brother.
(Time Jump Far After Angel Island Fight) Rush Reef: All of Team Sonic find themselves in hot water when they all end up sent to Blaze's dimension once more. After checking in with the Princess and tanukiraccoon pirate, it appears a trip down to Demon Island to find the Operator's Citrine is needed before Eggman and Egglock(Eggplant warlock, filling the role of Eggman Nega, who is fully Silver's nemesis). But can Sonic take the plunge this time? And considering Knuckles, who lives this far below?
I feel like there needs to be a full Team Blaze, along with a counterpart to Angel Island. Thus, Demon Island and its stressed, scared, oppressed last original inhabitant, Lotus the Sea Sheep(Sea sheeps are rare animals that photosynthesize like plants, as apposed to a mammal who lays eggs). Plus, a Sonic story that's mostly underwater is a rarity!
(Time Jump Fair after Rush Reef) Magic Show of Steel: Wanting a break, Sonic accepts an invite from Espio to join him in Casino Night for a week, because even with the violent reveal of the mayor as a badnik, business still booms. Especially for the city's favorite illusionist, Missy the White Rabbit. Yet, something in her performance rubs the hedgehog the wrong way. Can he, Amy, Shadow, Honey, and Espio figure out just what's happening before they all disappear? And just how close is a certain mercenary group?
Heavy Magician is my favorite Hard Boiled Heavy, and considering my plans for her in my Forces rewrite I'm still working on, I had to give her an arc all her own. Plus, we never get just the Speed characters interacting(and I want more interaction between Sonic and Team Chaotix in general). Plus, pretty lights and a possible Phantom Ruby fight between Magi and Infinite/Dante? Writing, become easier!
(Time Jump Far After Magic Show of Steel) Story Whirlwind: Upon noticing his primary fighter has chosen to fight him more than the blue blur and an impulsive stealing of two things Sonic really cares for, he starts getting paranoid. But, how much power can a book of fairy tales give? And how hard can it be to keep a cat that likes fishing and a government robot in captivity be? Let alone setting up Sonic's own friends to finish him off, and Kit's secret assignment...
Starline's death was too impassioned and having him get killed in a building caving-in was a cop-out. Fight me!
In reality, I really think just having Starline get crushed takes some of the joy out of seeing him stopped. It was just thrown into the Surge arc so they didn't have to bother with what we was doing anymore. Thus, a total change in scenario. And, an actual culprit. But, I think you'd need to ask the Emeralds. Make sure they aren't letting someone channel their darker sides though, or you'll meet Starline's shameless killer face-to-face. ;)
That's all for now. I have more, but I think they should get a part two to this, so I don't overload the post.

ok i am desperately trying to remember as much as i can from sonic 2 (will be seeing it again in a couple days) but a few things that i loved/noticed
- i know that a few people were worried (including me) about them leaning too heavily toward the superhero angle with the whole blue justice thing, but that was mercifully really short and was just a way of showing how sonic was being overly reckless/arrogant! and it was nice to see them showing that side of him too
- i just have to say. the winter soldier line WAS annoying, but that fucking pay off?? the whole ‘bucky saves steve’ thing but with knuckes and sonic?? hello? IM LOSING IT
- unfortunately i found jim carrey insufferable in this movie but my guy deserves credit for giving 200%
- i didn’t find the movie particularly funny at any point and in fact there were many bits i found just unbelievably cringe (the siberian dance off, for one - uptown funk is so old now?? the adventure pose maybe JUST saves it). i mean... did we really need a flossing reference in both movies
- but that negative stuff aside, this was just so clearly a movie by fans for fans and i honestly think that’s why critics dont like it. the audience of this film is either a) sonic fans or b) kids and there is no in-between
- on that note!! i was LIVING for the interactions between tails + knuckles + sonic, it’s such a blessed dynamic and i loved how they all got to individually play off each other.
- there were so many facets to knuckles too - his gullibility, his vulnerability, his longing for a family, his strength and honour, his ruthlessness... like they allowed him to be a bit dumb and clueless without making him a complete joke which i adored
- knuckles and sonic bonding over their difficult pasts and sonic not blaming knuckles for longclaw’s death was really nice? like sonic really didn’t want to fight him. and BABY KNUCKLES. knuckles’ dad! ken penders is losing his shit
- this movie was just so deeply and unashamedly earnest (even with the power of friendship stuff and emphasis on family!!) that i couldnt help but smile through most of it. 
- oh man, i just. all the clever references to the games?? the sonic 06 reference! the unleashed reference! even the thing with the chilli dog falling from the sky felt like a black knight reference!!
- seriously was losing my fucking MIND during the super sonic scene. it just encapsulated for me how long it feels since ive seen a movie like this that gives the fans what they want! I mean?? the chaos emeralds?? sonic’s design including the floating quills and the red eyes?? he looked soOOOO COOL
- knuckles talking about ice cream DID NOT DISAPPOINT. i really didnt expect them all to be just hanging out together at the end but that fucken killed me man
- GUN!!!
- TONED DOWN OLIVE GARDEN REFERENCES THANK YOU
- the human characters 100% got shafted but uhhh. i didnt mind it all that much?? and there was that huge moment with maddie and tom accepting sonic as their son and sonic talking tom dad like,.. that’s pretty important
- colleen was soooo good she just seamlessly slotted in and it was so nice to hear her voice throughout!!
- i loved seeing how the bits in the trailers were chopped and changed and moved out of context, it was cool to see how everything actually slotted together in the movie
- it was interestng how they’ve made it so the chaos emeralds are components of the master emerald rather than a separate thing? to the point where super sonic was said to have absorbed the power of the master emerald rather than the chaos emeralds... but its nbd tbh
- SHADOW SHADOW SHADOW!!!!! SHadoW!! he looked so good - if anything it looked like the red fur around his eyes was more obvious? he also looked kinda sad : ‘( i cannot wait to see his final design! so i assume the next movie is going to be pretty much just sa2 with a few changes? it doesnt really surprise me - shadow is just way too popular, and it felt like it was foreshadowed by the sa-2 on the gun helicopter. i like to think this means amy will be introduced too!

Jasper Hale having a male mate would include:
Tumblr media
Alice saw you coming but she didn’t see who was coming
He was resistant at first, partially because you were very human and he was afraid of hurting you, also because he had never courted a man
Not that it would stop him
After getting over the initial shock he would be a proper gentleman
He’d walk you to class, sit with you at lunch, offer to drive you home
He even switched his schedule around so he could sit with you at English- although if you asked it was pure coincidence
Constantly asks you questions about yourself, and answers your questions as honestly as he can without exposing the big secret
He takes things much slower then Edward did with Bella
It was months until he confessed his feelings for you and asked you out
Speaking of which the first time he felt your emotions and felt you crushing on him- took everything in him not to confess right there in class
Your first date he took you to a movie- due to Edward tipping him off there was a new horror movie you’d been really wanting to see
During the movie there was one jump scare that made you flinch and grab his arm- that along with the slight increase in your heart beat, he was fighting off a laugh for the rest of the night
Get’s extremely nervous at the thought of telling you he’s a vampire
Actually starts avoiding you when his family starts to pressure him into telling you
Ends up telling you during one of your very common late night phone calls
You think he’s joking at first but he proves it by running sonic speed at you
You scream
He gets very insecure for a few minutes before you assure him you only screamed because the sight of someone running at you as fast as a bullet was terrifying- not because you were scared of him
You bombard him with a million questions after that- he answers each and every one
You bring up the bite marks on his arms and he explains how he fought in the southern vampire turf wars with maria
“Oh, I just thought you were kinky”
“Y/N!”
Take’s you out the next sunny day to show you what he looks like in the sun
Can’t help but smile when he feels a sudden surge of excitement when he steps in the sun
“You’re so Handsome!”
“You’re not to bad yourself”
You spend a few hours just talking and walking around- he shows you some of his favorite parts the forest that you had never known existed
Introduces you to his family later that day, they all love you- except for Rosalie
But she warms up to you eventually
You go awhile without having your first kiss, both to nervous to scare the other one off
Jasper gets enough confidence to go for it when you press a soft kiss to his cheek, he grabs your waist before you can pull away and pulls you into a quick kiss
He lets you pull away, thinking he might have taken it to far for a moment
He’s delightfully surprised when you go in back in for another kiss- relishing in the mix of excitement and love radiating off of you
Goes home with a bit more pep in his step- which does not go unnoticed by Edward and Alice
Subtle PDA all the time, hands on your thigh, a hand on the small of your back, interlocked hands, an occasional peck on the cheek.
Never initiates a kiss in public but is more then willing to kiss you back if you make the first move\
Way to nervous to have sex with you while you’re still human
Once Jessica Stanley made a homophobic comment about you and him, he never admitted it but she may have been hit with a sudden wave of negative emotion causing her to run out of the room- tail in between her legs
Some one is hitting on you and making you uncomfortable? You feel two strong arm wrap around you and pull you close, not needing to turn around to know it’s Jasper.
“Hello Darling, Is everything alright?” He’d say in a sweet time but his eyes were staring daggers into whoever was flirting with you
“It is now that you’re here, Jazz.”
Calls you Darling, Hun, Sweetheart, ect. Basically anything but your name
If your parents are homophobic he makes sure to wait until your ready to tell them- if they handle it badly he uses his power as some extra convincing
Jasper is a bit of overprotective bit tries to respect your decisions
Jasper always tries to reassure you when you’re insecure about your relationship without using his powers on you once you express your dislike to it
The only reason he turns you is because the Volturi says if he doesn’t they’ll kill you
Although Jasper make’s sense your 100% alright with it
Makes Carlisle turn you in fear he won’t be able to stop
If he could cry he would have when he heard your cries of pain as  the venom courses threw your veins
The whole house goes still when your hearts finally stops beating and you fall silent
On the third day Jasper is anxious that you won’t wake up, the only sound in the room is his foot nervously tapping the ground
“Jas... Jasper?”
His golden eyes shoot up to your now crimson ones
“Hello Sweetheart. How are you feeling?”
“...Weird.”
He helps you up and for a moment he only holds you in his arms, finally not needing to hold back his strength
Lets out a laugh when you hug him back a little to roughly
“Careful Darling, your not the weak one anymore.”
“Bitch please, I was never weak.”
That earned another laugh
He helped you adjust  to your new life as a vampire
and helped your mourn your old life
Although you struggle he is impressed by your self control
And is slightly envious
Everyone thinks you have no power
Until you touch Jasper on the shoulder and he jumps- surprised by the random image of the first time you had kissed vividly plays in his mind
Turns out you have the power Visual Projection like Zafrina from the Amazon coven
They actually enlist Zafrina’s help to train you
Jasper is more then thrilled at your talent, loving the fact that you can not only project your memories but others if they grant you access
After a month of you being a newborn Jasper physically can not hold back anymore
He whisks you away to a small cabin in Canada- under the guise of a reward for doing so well as a newborn
But when you get  there you pick up on why you’re truly there
Soft Kisses turn into hungry kisses, soft touches to the back of your neck turn into hands exploring every part of you
Let’s just say it’s a good thing your away from the rest of the family- and anyone else for the matter
You rest your head on his chest afterward, Jasper has a smug grin on his face just by feeling the emotions washing over you
You too spend an eternity together, protecting each other no matter what and savoring every last moment with each other
And for the first time in a long time, Jasper is truly happy
Uhm so this may have gotten away from me a bit.... but I’m trying to get back into writing so I decided why not write some of the ideas in my head? I hope at least some of you enjoyed :) Stay Safe everyone

Love & Conflict
Written by Ash Rose Cover Art by Ash Rose

Original publish date:
(Amino & AO3) June 11th 2021
Tails rushed into the house they shared with Sonic and Amy with an excited grin on their face. 
"Excited to finally get some shut eye? I sure am…" Sonic said to Tails, yawning.
"I'll go to sleep soon! I just wanna tell Cosmo about everything that just happened first! I bet she'll think that it was as cool as I think it was!" Tails explained.
"Yeah… Mys. Shadow is pretty cool…" Amy added tiredly, rubbing her eyes as she spoke.
"Don't stay up too late now bud." Sonic advised Tails. Tails smiled and assured him that they would be asleep in 30 minutes as they rushed to their room.
Once Tails made it to their room, they shut the door behind them, hoping that it would block the noise from Sonic and Amy as they tried to sleep. Once that was done, Tails fished out their communication device that they use to talk to Cosmo, and dialed up her number.
Tails and Cosmo had met the year before when Cosmo's spacecraft had crashed into Aerth, right near the home Tails was in at this very moment. They looked outside and saw the large hole that still remained from that crash landing, and smiled, remembering the few months Cosmo stayed with them while they helped repair her spaceship. 
The two had bonded quickly, having a shared interest in mechanics. Tails had offered Cosmo a bit of a tour around what they knew of Aerth, hoping that one day, the two of them would be able to travel the entirety of the planet, and perhaps, even go beyond together. 
Tails remembered that Cosmo was especially interested in Amy and Shadow out of the friends that they introduced her to, and it was that memory that made Tails as excited as they were, predicting that Cosmo would be amazed by Shadow's heroism.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, Cosmo picked up the call, seeming as if Tails calling her had awoken her.
"Hey Cosmo!!" 
"... Hey Tails. Why are you calling me at such an hour…?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
"The coolest thing just happened!! It involves Shadow~!" The mention of Shadow caught Cosmo's attention.
"Is that so? What happened?" 
Tails began to excitedly explain to her the events of the day before, how Aerth had been invaded by the infamous Black Arms, and how a lot of property was destroyed, and a lot of people died. But, then Tails described how the Freedom Fighters fought against the Black Arms, including the fact that Tails helped stop them from assassinating the president of the United Nations, and how in the end, Shadow used the power of the Chaos Emeralds to kill the leader of the Black Arms, Black Doom. 
"... So yeah, I've had an interesting start to my week!" Tails said as they finished off their retelling. They looked back at the screen of their communicator, expecting a look of amazement on Cosmo's face, but instead, the look on her face was one of horror. 
At first, Tails took this as her being worried about their safety, to which they assured her that they were completely fine, but then Cosmo started to cry, and closed the call before Tails could ask her why. 
As Tails tried to call Cosmo again, they were interrupted by an incoming call from their father.
"Miles! I know I haven't been able to keep in contact with you for a while, but I heard that Aerth was just attacked--!" 
"You're a bit behind on things, aren't you? We were attacked by the Black Arms yesterday, but we managed to get rid of them thanks to Shadow and the Chaos Emeralds!" Tails explained. "Also, I don't really like going by Miles anymore, just call me Tails." 
"... I see. By the way, did you say "Shadow"? As in… Project Shadow? The project headed by Gerald Robotnik to create the ultimate life?" 
"Yeah. Shadow sure is something, aren't they?" 
"... I suppose they are." Tails' father sighed, just happy to hear that his child was safe and sound.
"Mmm… you know space things, right?" Tails asked.
"I do! Why do you ask?" Their father responded. 
"Ah… Last year I met this Seedrian girl named Cosmo, and we've been talking a lot ever since, I think we're dating now? Anyway, right before you called I told her about how we fought against those black aliens and how Shadow killed their leader but after I told her she got really upset and hung up on me! I bet she's just worried about me, but I did try to tell her that I'm not injured or anything--!" 
"Did she not tell you about the history of the Seedrians?" Tails' father asked them.
"No, not really. All she told me is that her home planet is called Green Gate, and that it was established about 100 or so years ago…" Tails admitted, causing their father to groan slightly.
"Then I'll tell you." 
Six years later….
As the sunlight of dawn began to show itself behind the clouds and distant trees, a soft breeze blew into the ajar windows of the Sky Patrol. The sunlight and breeze met at a tie in the room of Tails Prower, picking up speed to jolt them awake, but the sound of a call coming in on their communicator beat them to it.
Rubbing their eyes in confusion, Tails picked up to see who it was that was calling them. It was their girlfriend, Cosmo.
 
Over the six and a half years that the two had been together, Tails and Cosmo's love for each other always managed to stay strong despite the conflict the two of them would have from time to time. It all started that night, the night when Shadow killed Black Doom. Tails had learned of the Seedrian's history, which from the very beginning had quite the involvement with the Black Arms, they were angry that Cosmo hid this from them, but they also had hope for her. They had hoped that they could pull Cosmo out of the "Roots" of the Seedrians, and thus reveal her as the good person Tails knew she was deep down. 
But things have changed since then.
The people around Tails have changed.
Shadow the Hedgehog, held up by the public as just as much of a hero as Sonic, the proof to Tails that they could change Cosmo for the better, ended up falling back into the Black Arms hivemind, and became much more intertwined than ever before.
Because of this, Sonic has become cynical and distrustful of anyone associated with the Black Arms in any way.
But there still is one last hope, and that hope has come in the form of one Amy Rose. 
Two years younger than Tails, and completely unaware of being half Black Arms until just last week, Amy has already managed to blow Tails away with how steadfast she is on staying loyal to the friends she's made and to the world that she's lived in for nearly a decade. Amy's made it clear to everyone that she won't let her genetics define who she is, nor will she let her past identity of "Sonic's obsessive fangirl" define who she is either. Some are skeptical about Amy's loyalty in the fallout of Shadow's relapsing, but Tails believes in her. 
Tails had a feeling that Cosmo was calling about Amy, and that made them excited.
Excited that this may be what sets Cosmo free…
As weird as that may sound.
"Tailsy!! Hi!" Cosmo greeted them excitedly.
"Hey Cosmo..! Good morning." Tails responded. "I assume you're calling me to talk about the Amy situation?" They added, getting straight to the point.
"Ah Tailsy, you know me so well~!" Cosmo answered with a giggle. 
"I'm surprised that it took you as long as you did to do so…!" Tails admitted.
"Hmph! I'm a busy woman, you know! With the rebuilding of the damage the Metarex did finally out of the way--" 
"Wait, you JUST got finished with repairs?! Didn't the Metarex attack you guys like… really soon after we had met?" 
"I blame our lack of direction… We still don't have a new Prime Minister." Cosmo explained.
"Ah, I see." Tails said. "What did you wanna talk to me about as far as Amy goes, anyway?" 
"Well, I got word that she should be getting a letter from her half brother -- he wasn't sure if Amy would've been able to hear him through the hivemind. I wanted to ask you if any of you had checked the mailbox today-" Cosmo began to explain, before being interrupted by the creaking sound of Tails's bedroom door being opened.
"Are you talking about me to someone..?" Amy asked Tails in a tired, but concerned tone.
"Well -- Amy - You see -!" 
"Amy!! It's been so long since I've seen you!" Cosmo said excitedly, which caused Amy to get just as excited.
"Is that Cosmo?! Oh my Chaos! It's been so long since I've seen you too!! How are you??" Amy responded, getting next to Tails in order to see Cosmo.
"I'm well, and very busy… I've only really been able to keep in contact with Tails with everything that's been going on here…" Cosmo explained to Amy.
"I understand! I've been pretty busy myself, especially recently…" 
"Oh. Would you be too busy then to maybe check your mailbox? A friend of mine sent a letter your way, Amy." 
"Oh, not at all! I'd love to see what your friend wrote for me!" Amy then began to make her way out of Tails's room, before stopping herself as a thought came to mind. "You should visit us again sometime! Things have changed a lot since your last visit, but I think that everyone would appreciate seeing you again. Might raise their spirits, ya know?" 
"I'd love to visit Aerth again… This time intentionally. I'll think about it and see if I have the time." Cosmo responded sweetly, smiling to Amy. Amy smiled back and left the room.
"What's this letter even about, anyway?" Tails questioned.
"You'll find out soon~!" Cosmo answered vaguely, giving them a wink before suddenly ending the call.
"... She sure is a sneaky one, isn't she?"

Random head cannons for my AU because these require oddly specific questions I don’t think I’ve ever seen ask memes have.
A lot of these I do have something to back them up with, but others it's just logical hilarity to me because I can.
Kitty!Sonic:
- absolutely mistrusts/gets annoyed by anyone that is an "authority figure" (i.e. adults "in charge", leaders, etc) but does nothing to actually be useful. As a kid he was always told to listen to the adults because "they know best", but after the coup and seeing a good number of adults doing everything in their power to just save their own hides or hiding, it fucked him right off. Only adults he’s ever respected were his uncle and Rosie (Rosie took some time to gain that trust though because why the hell is she teaching us maths when people need help???). Bookshire is another but he does fight Bookshire on occasion because Sonic hates fussing with medical stuff.
This carried on into his own adulthood, and it’s hilarious whenever someone points out he’s the adult now as it sets off his aversion to being older, but if he has to be called an adult then damnit he’s gonna be a USEFUL one at least.
And yes he has confirmed on many occasions that he can and will flip off King Acorn if he plays up. What's he gonna do, ground him? Arrest his for treason? He flipped off Robotnik, he ain't scared of no thing.
- his uncle was brilliant with robotics and mechanics and science. Sonic has literally zero idea about any of those. And yet he’s weirdly good at chemistry. But he doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to use this so no one knows this, but Rotor has come by chemistry formulas mysteriously solved if he leaves them out on his workbench after a night of wracking his brains over why something isn’t working. How does Sonic know this? Nobody knows, Sonic will never tell either, and will deny he’s even good at it.
- he’s also very good at physics, in that he knows exactly how to break physics to do impossible shit. He’s great at figuring out just what angles he needs to shoot himself into to get the most air time, how much speed and lift to land in the exact spot, etc. It all happens automatically to him (it has to, going at the speeds he does there’s literally no time to plan this shit) but if someone asks him he will actually figure it out in the spot with freakishly good accuracy, and can do it not just with him being the projectile but any object (he has worked out perfect catapult trajectories before and it still baffles everyone to this day). Again, he doesn’t know how he knows this, will never tell anyone he knows how to do this, and will deny he knows this.
- he’s also good with musical instruments. Obviously his favourite is the electric guitar, but if you give him a sheet of music and at least an hour to mess around with the instrument he’ll work it out. Getting to watch him play the violin is a rare but delightful treat. This is his special interest, the thing he would have gotten into if the world hadn’t gone to shit. He doesn’t get to indulge in it as much as he’s like but he loves music and could ramble about it for hours on end if given the chance.
The con of this though is that he's really good at identifying music, including ones from operas and orchestras. Sally takes great delight in making him identify both because he does get embarrassed about it, but his pride doesn't allow him to just not pick them out.
- he likes to cook, but he prefers recipes that allow him to leave things to cook without him needing to watch it once it’s prepared. So baking, roasting, slow cook stuff like soups and chili, that’s his jam. Anything that’s gonna be a long haul he has to be basically trapped in his hut to do it without wanting to go nuts (so extra cold days where being outside would be hell are good cooking days).
- during the summer he sleeps in a hammock. During the winter he sleeps in a bed and practically buries himself in blankets.
- loves bubblegum. Gum balls, sticks of gum, whatever. If it’s gum he loves it. Unfortunately it is non existent thanks to the coup (shelf life of gum is terrible) so finding any that’s not terrible is an amazing day.
- milk and cookies is oddly a comfort food to him. Something about the simplicity of it just works for him, and ridiculously shit days are made better by it. Default choc chip cookies work best.
- he hates spiders. More specifically, he hates when you see a spider, look away, then look back only to find the spider is gone. Spiders themselves don’t bother him until they do that, but once they do he has to fight himself to not just set whatever building or dwelling he happens to be on fire in order to solve the issue of having to deal with it later.
- he’s about .0001 seconds away from just walking away into the forest and never coming back. He won’t do it because he honestly doesn’t want to abandon his friends… but he’s so close to just becoming a cryptic in the forest. He has wandered off before when things get super annoying, but someone always drags him back, much to his endless frustration.
Sally:
- can’t cook for anything. Sonic has seen her burn water. Toast somehow always ends in fire. No one ever attempt to drink her coffee for your own sake.
And yet somehow she makes really, really good pancakes. Like ridiculously good. She makes them very rarely because she’s always busy with something and has been banned from all kitchens, but when she does they’re amazing and no one can figure out how this happens.
- if she’s snacking on nuts or anything that doesn’t go soggy (like hard/dry fruits, or extra crusty breads) she will sometimes keep some in her cheeks. Not to the point that her cheeks will be bulging with them, but if she’s working while snacking she will just stash some away so she can focus on what she’s doing, and then when she’s done just finishes those off. This only happens when she needs to focus so she’s pretty discreet about this and has perfected talking/quick chewing with them if someone interrupts her.
- she loves video games, but because they’re so hard to come by thanks to the coup she doesn’t get to play as often as she’d like. She knows Sonic, Tails and Rotor has some stashed away and has played them on the sly, which has left them wondering how their high scores got beaten or how new levels have been unlocked. Though she has to be careful about this because if she’s left alone with them long enough she will just play them until either she finishes the game, or someone physically drags her away from it. This is probably her only weak point in terms of something that can just pull her away entirely from everything.
- she is very, very neat… only because she literally doesn’t make a mess of anything thanks to her one-track mind. If she’s working on a plan or something that needs a lot of research she will basically just make a pathway to her desk and bed and leave everything else undisturbed. She will still shower, only because the shower is just another place for her to think without interruption. This is a big factor on why she can’t cook for shit, too. She just… doesn’t. At all. Because she’s gotta work. Work is life because they may literally die if she can’t figure plans out
- she is genuinely fascinated by legends and myths, which we see a lot of in SatAM. Although she does sometimes dismiss some legends or myths as just stories, if she finds anything that even hints at it being real, and if time allows it, she will chase it down. If it’s anything that might be especially useful in their fight she will go for it after doing a ton of research to make sure she’s got every angle and possibility down. The researching to that extent is due to her own perfectionism, but also because if the expedition turns out to be a bust it could mean time that should have been spent on something else/time being away from the village for a crapshoot.
Sonic and Sally as a couple:
- they don’t use pet names for one another… until one of them is absolutely pushing their luck with the other. Pet names = stop it.
- Sally did once call Sonic a shit-weasel out of anger during such a scenario, and then was immediately apologetic for it because that was Too Far™. Sonic said that made him fall in love with her all over again and it was an awesome insult. Pet names are still a no-go though.
- they live together and everyone thinks it’s Sonic that would be the nightmare to live with.
It’s not.
It’s Sally.
Sonic does get messy and likes to live in organised chaos, but Sally just has the worst sleeping habits (she doesn’t sleep), functions mostly on auto-pilot (the amount of times she eats the last of something but leaves the box it came in/was stored in for Sonic to find drives him up the wall something shocking all because she’s just vaguely thinking "I need food I suppose" alongside whatever she’s doing at the time), and if she’s working on something big she will spread herself everywhere (including Sonic’s bed if he isn’t in it or on it in some way).
Sonic won’t move out because he genuinely thinks if he did Sally would never sleep at proper hours or eat like a regular person unless he monitors her. Plus they actually really do like each other’s company and do miss one another if they aren’t in the same space in their down time. But Sonic is constantly amazed at just how much of a gremlin Sally can be and no one believes him.
- Sally takes great delight in this and amps up her gremlin behaviour because of it. If she does this in front of anyone else it just gets encouraged. It’s okay though because Sonic knows how to be a bastard so it’s a constant battle of who can out bastard or out gremlin who.
- they sleep separately (see aforementioned sleeping habits of gremlin ground squirrel), but on occasion will share a bed. Or share the couch. Sharing will almost always result in Sonic being used as a pillow/mattress but he’s fine with it, as long as it means Sally’s sleeping and they get to cuddle ‘cause cuddling is great.
- Sally loves puns. Sonic has begged her not to say puns. He secretly loves them but he hates that he gets them (temporarily forgetting your own language, then relearning it is a trip and picking up the puns does things to his head). Sally does not stop the puns. This has led to Sonic almost achieving his goal of becoming a forest cryptic as he does just start walking out when she starts.
- this is kinda canon but I like to joke that they are actually legally married and this happened during their zone-hopping adventures. But the marriage itself happened in the most mundane way for the most mundane reason, and yet it is legally binding and they do actually have wedding rings from it. They don’t wear the rings but they do carry it on their person at all times, and pull them out just to blindside people with them because it’s funny.
