What's your favorite part of Blaze's character? :) 💜
my fav part? OH GOSH
That's a really tough question cuz I love her character, like every strength and weakness. But if I had to choose, I'd say I particularly like her persistence. even if sometimes it comes off more as stubbornness (watch how persistent she was on saving her world on her own without any help), she doesn't seem to give up easily. not influenced by others' but mostly by her own thoughts, nothing can bring her down (apart from herself). I like that.
then again, persistence is a virtue quite a few sonic characters own, like sonic himself. But idk, as much as I love blaze's character as a whole, I believe her persistence is part of what makes her so special to me, maybe because it contrasts her other traits? I'm not sure.
I’m going to do #sonictober this year and this is my entry for 10/2, “RAIN.” @e-vay and @beeextraordinary123 enjoying some ramen and chatting about WWS while waiting for the rain to pass.
When I was a teenager I gave up on art (and writing) because a close friend told me I had no talent. I’ve been trying to get back into it and maybe work out my own style. Sonictober’s exercise in pursuit of that, and it’s one I owe so, SO much thanks to @ratrrriot for. They’ve been so patient and helpful in looking over my work and trying to help me improve, and the gift of their time and friendship means something to me that can’t be contained within measurement.
My dedicated pups. You've waited for this. The actual pilot episode of 101 Dalmatian Street is finally HERE! Viewers can watch the short pilot intro, free of cuts and incomplete footage and audio!
I hope the 101 Dalmatian Street community have been looking forward to finally getting their paws on the episode! Believe it or not, the pilot has been leaked along with other DIsney animated shows just last night, and Phrontistery originally planned to release this much later than that, but with everything happening, this is a good time to do so!

And HERE is the actual full 20-minute footage of the actual pilot episode itself from 2017! If you're familiar this one, yes, it is indeed an early animatic of the 2-parter episode "London, We Have a Problem".
The pilot, if you can tell, has a LOT of written dialogues, scenes and content that was remarkably absent in the final version! There's a LOT to unpack in this 20-minute video, so I urge you to absorb all the details within it and watch it for yourselves!
Please, enjoy! And let your followers know about the pilot!😁
With the release of Princess Peach: Showtime has got me thinking…imagine if we had gotten that similar experience for our fav pink hedgehog Amy Rose? Sure, you could make the argument that due to the bad reception of Shadow The Hedgehog (2005) when it was released indicated that Sega was not going to make any more sonic spin off games in the future (though I will defend that game for the entirety of my living existence because I whole heartedly loved it) but theoretically it could be a great concept to bring back because you could do so much with each character.
But in this case, I want to talk about the many ways of what I personally think could work if Amy had a spin off game.
1. Good Character Writing
Over the course of the Sonic franchise, there have been many interpretations of Amy some range from very bad to very good if you know what I’m talking about. If you want an in depth discussion of Amy’s evolution throughout the years read @ratrrriot post they do a great job of explaining it better than I ever could. But basically in short terms: showcase her love and compassion but is a fierce determined hero and willing to stand up for the people whom she cares about but retain both her bad qualities such as her stubbornness and so it would make feel more grounded and like a real person.
2. An Open World Format
Sonic Frontiers was a definite refresher for the format of Sonic games. The open world really helped how the open world is a great fit for Sonic games show casing how alive the star fall islands were and immersive gameplay experience can be. I know some people were mixed on that aspect but personally it was a welcome addition that helped with the story. In my mind, Amy would be going on her adventure led by her tarot cards as well as expanding her horizons and come across this magical and unknown land associated with love and kindness (one of Amy’s defining traits). The land would like some fantasy/ fairy tale inspired world with each level being more beautiful than the last and in a sense still being rooted into Sonic’s world with creative lore but with a girly twist on it one of the many things that definitely defines who Amy is and that some of the locations/ levels within the game could be off real life places or folklore.
3. Story
Sonic Frontiers and to an extent The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog were praised for being the first Sonic games in years to have a good story probably since Sonic and the Black Knight. Definitely can work if they have good writers. Amy would be in the game for obvious but maybe two or three more friends along for the ride too but having them be in the story instead of them just being in the background like Cream, Blaze and Silver or something? Have them develop into by Amy had impacted them in so many ways and how they want to return the offer. Explain how the fantasy world in the game came to be, the culture of it and their way of living, sacred treasures they may hold to keep the world in balance. Introduce characters from the fantasy world so you would feel more invested into the journey and having one of the inhabitants be the main antagonist an trusted ally to the team.
3. Costume Upgrades
Amy has had some very cute outfits upgrades most notably in Sonic Dash or Sonic Forces Speed Battle but you would have to unlock the outfits doing certain tasks or completing each level zones in the game that also help progress the narrative feeling as that they are essential. Again it doesn’t have to be the case but it would be a cool feature to have be put in the game as well as her friends getting costume upgrades too.
Again, this isn’t trying to force the game if it would happen. It’s just me ranting some of my ideas if an Amy Rose spin off game were to actually happen but I doubt it’ll be the case any time soon.
My Synopsis of names of the world in the game, the levels/ zones it can contain and what it would look like;
Judging from Dawkins' focused look of concentration and fast typing, I say they have something very secretive being worked on!🤔
I thought it'd be a good time to give you dedicated pups a little treat for what I have planned for 2024!
Yep! I'm working a series focused on our three awesome bois: Dylan, Hansel and Fergus (And maybe Dawkins). And it's going to be coming to my separate Tumblr account later this year!
Over the past year or so, I thought about making one of my own blog series where 101DS fans can interact with the characters from the show in the same vain as JanAnimation's "Ask the Cutie Mark Crusader" series, and I wanted to give the fandom the same kind of experience!
The title series for the new project will be announced soon. Hope you dedicated pups are looking forward to it!😁
