Aquarium in the Ocean

Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume FF

Ripped by Zielony Szpieg

If you ask any avid SiIvaGunner fan to recount the most important parts of Season 5, you'll find two songs to be nigh inevitable to be brought up. There's many concise ways to identify the fifth season by today - it was one of the lightest years on the channel in terms of new lore, it was the season tasked with succeeding the indescribable scale and success of the King for Another Day Tournament and its celebration the year after, it saw the official debut of SiIvaGunner Fusion Records, and it overall was one of the highest-quality years in terms of rips uploaded. Yet two icons remain dominant in the minds of many a SiIvaGunner fan, two songs that caused an absolute uproar during their heyday - Astronaut in the Ocean and Yankin'.

Its hard to really overstate just how much chaos these two songs alone put the channel audience in: I once previously tried to summarize it all in my post on Knowledge of the Depths from the same season. Put simply, Astronaut in the Ocean began to appear frequently in low-effort, unsynced mashups in reference to its origins as a TikTok meme, which gave it a sort of perception as an anti-hero for the fanbase - the joke that, no matter what it was attached to, would never even try to deliver something that sounded conventionally "high quality". If the astronaut was an anti-hero, Yankin' was a full-on villain - the crassness of the song paired with the somewhat hard to listen to vocals and immediately identifiable beat made the song into a source of downright hatred within the comment section, on a level only really previously matched by Season 1's "Bean" (more on that guy at a later date). It was fascinating, for a year without much in the way of proper story progression, to see so much community discourse still happen althesame regarding the state of the channel.

Months later, when Season 6 arrived, the dust had settled´. Astronaut in the Ocean had gotten a sort of cult following for its apathetic, inconsistent use in rips very much unique to it, and Yankin' even had its own takeover, to directly address and cement the meme's status as a villain on the channel. The memes are now a staple of SiIvaGunner despite - or perhaps because of - our ire, and they've been infrequently appearing in rips the same way that Grand Dad, Snow Halation, The Nutshack and so many others oft would back in the early days. And to me, no rip better illustrates that new status quo than Aquarium in the Ocean.

Aquarium in the Ocean follows the style of several rips preceding it as a "mashup medley", most easily comparable to something like Memey Hell from Season 1. While that rip acted as a sort of celebration to Season 1 as a whole, Aquarium in the Ocean feels like it does the same for Season 5's two big jokes as discussed above. Despite featuring both the Season's bringers of hell, they're used in very genuine, serious ways - Astronaut in the Ocean leads the song off and is actually, for once, tuned to the original song's key, and Yankin's vocals play surprisingly softly when paired with different instrumentation. The two are blended together with several other memes from the channel's history, be it old-school like Soulja Boy or more recent ones like Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney's Epic Rap Battle of History - its a sort of scattershot selection of jokes, yet each one is given enough time to sink in as funny whilst matching the Aquarium Park instrumental backing quite nicely.

Really, though, above its quality and sound its the meaning to the rip that I really care about. There's no longer any sort of panic in the comments over the presence of Yankin' - many are even surprised and delighted to hear the track finally sounding *good* in a rip. The two are now just jokes amidst the many others, accepted tools within the arsenal of the SiIva team - and permanent member of the channel's family. I can't say if Aquarium in the Ocean was really the rip to cement that, but something about its assortment of various jokes paired with its somewhat sentimental sound really carries that energy through. Zielony Szpieg, as far as I'm aware, is someone who submitted this rip to the team through email as a fan, and they did an excellent job at both making a good-sounding tune and something surprisingly poignant for the subject matter at hand. I know not how to contact him or if he'll ever see this, but if he does: Ya did good!

Colourful Wisps

I've always liked these little guys. Made via tracing over official 3d renders of them and artwork of Planet Wisp while attempting to be transformative with said tracing (with varying results.. hopefully my artstyle is different enough to warrant it being considered successfully transformative but we'll see).

INKTOBER 2 - SCURRY 

Gotta go fast on another level O_O

A comic Commission for Saber360 on Deviantart with his characters Yomito the wolf, Tsukiya the Raven, and Spiral the Drill Wisp.

rank the wisps best to worst

Okay. I'll be basing them off of the first game that comes to mind for them, which I will list also

Cyan Laser (Colors, Generations, Lost World) - Basically a better light speed dash. I'll fight on this

White Boost (Colors Wii) - In my opinion, they make the boost meter a lot more interesting to manage. They fell off hard in Forces, though.

Jade Ghost (Team Sonic Racing, Colors Ultimate) - They're a part of my branding, of course I love them. I am a little disappointed by their implementation in Colors Ultimate, but that's every Ultimate feature tbf. They add a few interesting new routes and options in Ultimate, though in some stages they are kinda shoehorned in poorly.

Purple Frenzy (Colors) - Less pacebreaking than the average transformation wisp, the purple freak is really fun to use in my opinion.

Black Bomb (Team Sonic Racing) - i love throwing bombs at people. this guy sucks in lost world though

Blue Cube (Colors) - Although it breaks the pace pretty hard, it's otherwise very harmless and can make some tense timed platforming segments.

Yellow Drill (Colors) - I enjoy the digging, and pace isn't broken too hard. But I do wish you didn't have to spin around so much for the color bonus. Genuinely required for some S ranks.

Pink Spikes (Colors) - This is where wisps start to really fall off for me, gameplay wise. I still prefer them to other Sonic gimmicks, but they can be far too much of a pacebreaker, while having some scuffed gameplay. This is scuffed gameplay! It's very awkward to navigate the terrain with Pink Spikes, and generally feels very slow. But, the paths opened by the ability are still fun, and there's a weird joy of trying to control when you *exit* spikes. But this paragraph is too long already for me to get into that

Green Hover (Colors) - It's not awful, but not great. Overall very slow and pacebreaking, while opening some fun gameplay in a few select acts.

Orange Rocket (Colors) - it's like if laser could only go up and also sucked

Red Burst (Colors DS, Gens) - It's not bad, but it's very hard to control, and gets frustrating to use because of it.

Indigo Asteroid (Lost World) - succ

Violet Void (Forces) - i dont like this guy

Ivory Lightning (Forces) - i really dont like this guy

Magenta Rhythm (Lost World, Team Sonic Racing) - DOES ANYONE WANNA TELL ME WHY THIS DICKHEAD ISN'T NAMED MAGENTA MELODY? LIKE COME ON. PERFECT ALLITERATION. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FUCKING GAMEPLAY APPLICATION, BECAUSE I LITERALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT DOES! IN BOTH GAMES IT'S COMPLETELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE WHAT THIS WISP ACCOMPLISHES. FUCK THIS GUY

Crimson Eagle (Sonic Lost World) - i dont even remember what this one does

Gray Quake (Team Sonic Racing) - man fuck this dude

So far, Sonic Colors Ultimate has my favorite Sonic Model and overall gameplay. This game is so relaxing, and chill, and aesthetically pleasing for my soul
