i would like to know any novel gayemeralds thoughts about. knuckle <- predictable. (or mayhaps whoever non-shadow you’d like to talk about bc we’ve all heard enough about the corpse they keep dragging out for today)

thoughts on knuckles…… you know despite the fact he’s intimately connected to a million things in life i surprisingly don’t have a whole lot of thoughts on him. but I’ll give you my top three

1) i like to think he probably raised tails more than sonic did. classic sonic especially was not the type to be tied down, and i can’t see him being interested in basically raising a kid. he’d let tails tag along on adventures but i think tails spent a majority of his time hanging out with knuckles. knuckles was sort of annoyed at sonic just dropping tails off at his doorstep every few weeks but tails was eager to learn everything he could about Angel island and echidna culture and lore and knuckles was e static to find someone who would listen. knuckles had also just broken out of a 12ish year isolation period so the social contact with tails (after the mess with eggman and sonic, whom he still had very conflicting feelings on) was nicer than he would ever admit. knuckles and tails do hang out with each other outside of sonic, like in sonic heroes, so i like to imagine they really bonded during the classic era

2) to me the eventuality of the sonic franchise is that all the chaos energy eventually gets destroyed. so when that happens sonic chronicles has already taken place. echidnas have populated angel island and are taking proper care of it. the master emerald is gone. so i think knuckles, rouge, and amy eventually partner up to go treasure hunting for a few years, glob trotting the world in search of ancient history and artifacts. they spend a lot of their time trying to piece together ancient history (like the precursors, babylons, gaia temples, ancients, etc).

3) i kind of think knuckles should be in less games. he’s a very stationary character and it doesn’t make sense to involve him in adventures where the master emerald isn’t involved or the world isn’t completely ending. i think his duty vs desire conflict, wherein the master emerald keeps him stationary despite his own interest in travel/treasure hunting is a very important part of his character, and at the moment i wish they would explore that more if they keep having him in random games. that said i also kind of wish they would actually Use him more- like use the master emerald in games more, and by extension knuckles himself (to where it makes sense). that wasn’t coherent but like. i want knuckles around i just wish they would do a better job of why and maybe lean into how him being there is him being conflicted by his duty/desires instead of him just Being There.

bonus: i need a knuckles chaotix reboot right fucking now i have the perfect pitch for it (mighty and ray go missing and knuckles enlists the chaotix’s help to find them as their backstory)

But if your favorite character isn't on the floor panting and dying and in horrible pain in a terrible situation then what's even the point
