Why you guys always wear gloves?

Is it a cultural thing or more of a practical thing?

Do you guys ever hold hands without the gloves? 😁

Yeah, it’s a cultural thing. You don’t really get your bare hands out with anyone but family, close friends, lovers, and like… your doctor.

Yes, we’ve held hands without gloves. Sonic also sleeps without them. I prefer to keep mine on as they make my inhibitor rings more comfortable.

I think we’re allowed to post gloveless pics if it’s ~artsy~, right? Besides, we have our wedding ring tattoos on our palm pads!

Combining the two messiest families from both fandoms is bound to be fun

Not a ship btw, we're half brothers in the au

[hyp3rfixation-h3ll]

The council has become VERY locked in a heated debate about this so I'm settling this ONCE AND FOR ALL via a tumblr poll (feel free to check the tags for context)

( GOES WITHOUT SAYING BUT PLEASE REBLOG FOR A LARGER SAMPLE SIZE )

if you'd like my personal opinion , i think it counts and we Would redefine the word to include our alien friends . theyre arguably just as human as we are and eating them would have the same psychological effects , even if they taste good !

A/n: sorry this took so long

Yandere Silver the Hedgehog x dog mobian reader

Silver has never met anyone like you. Youre practically a ball of evergy, going from one thing to the next with endless enthusiasm.

When hes calm and collected, you’re practically embodying chaos, chasing after whatever catches your attention, figuratively wagging your tail the whole time. He’s drawn to you immediately, fascinated by your bright nature.

At first, he thinks it’s harmless admiration, your excitement is contagious, and it makes him smile instantly. As he gets to know you, it becomes more and more adamant thats not the case.

Silver notices everything about you. The way your ears perk up at the slightest sound, the way your tail wags uncontrollably when you’re happy, it’s adorable to him, almost painfully so. He starts following you around, claiming it’s to "make sure you don’t get into trouble."

He loves how excited you get over the smallest things. Found a cool rock? You’ll talk about it for hours. Spotted a butterfly? You’re chasing it before anyone can stop you. Silver watches from a distance, mesmerized, unable to tear his eyes away.

Your scent drives him crazy. As a dog Mobian, you have a distinct, unique scent, silvet associates it with comfort now. He’s not proud of it, but he starts stealing items you’ve touched just to keep them close. He sleeps better with your scarf tucked under his pillow or a pen you chewed on hidden away in his room.

Silver knows you’re a little... impulsive. He sees how your curiosity can get you into dangerous situations, and it terrifies him. He convinces himself that it’s his duty to protect you.

He begins subtly steering you away from anything or anyone he deems a threat. That means no more running off on your own or getting too friendly with others. If anyone tries to hurt you, or worse, flirt with you, Silver won’t hesitate to "handle" them.

He’s not above lying to keep you safe. If he thinks you’re interested in something risky, he’ll make up reasons why you can’t do it.

Silver is gentle with you, always speaking in a soft, reassuring tone. He treats you like you’re made of glass, as if one wrong move could shatter your sunny composure.

He loves indulging your excitable nature. Found a shiny pebble? He’ll praise it like it’s the most fascinating thing in the world. Spotted a squirrel? He’ll let you drag him along on a chase, even if he’s exhausted.

He spoils you with gifts. Silver doesn’t have much, but he’ll scour the future to bring you rare trinkets he thinks you’ll like. If it sparkles, shines, or looks remotely interesting, it’s yours.

Silver doesn’t want you to change. He loves your bubbly, excitable personality, and the idea of anyone or anything dulling your light fills him with rage. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep you the way you are, even if that means isolating you from the world.

Your freedom becomes limited. At first, it’s little things: asking you not to wander too far, insisting you let him tag along. But over time, his restrictions grow stricter. Soon, you can’t leave the house without him, and he always seems to know where you are.

If you ever try to pull away or question his behavior, Silver panics. He’s not above guilt tripping you, saying things like "I just want to protect you" or "You’re all I have left." His desperation makes it hard to argue with him.

Silver is insanely jealous. Your friendly nature means you’re kind to everyone, and it drives him up the wall. He doesn’t understand how you can be so casual with your affection, Your tail wagging for others feels like a betrayal.

If someone gets too close, Silver steps in immediately. He’ll place himself between you and the other person, using his psychic powers to subtly push them away if necessary.

In extreme cases, Silver isn’t afraid to use his abilities to eliminate the competition. A shove here, a "freak accident" there... He’ll do whatever it takes to keep you all to himself.

If you ever try to leave him, Silver snaps. He can’t bear the thought of losing you; you’re his light, his reason for fighting. He’ll beg, plead, and even cry to make you stay. If that doesn’t work, he’ll resort to more drastic measures.

He’ll kidnap you if he has to. He’ll create a safe, cozy space where he can keep you close. He’ll bring you everything you need, food, water, etc. but you won’t be allowed to leave.

Silver convinces himself that it’s for your own good. "The world’s too dangerous for someone like you," he says, his voice trembling "I’ll keep you safe. I promise."

Summary: Agent Stone may have everyone else fooled, but Sonic isn't about to let him get away with it

A/N: This fic is unfinished! Writing this mainly for fun and we'll see where it goes.

Side note, I haven't finished watching the series and I actually prefer listening people talking about it than actually watching

"12 o'clock." Sonic muttered, once he spots Amy running towards them at full tilt. She's obviously carrying something in her hands, small enough not to be seen from a distance, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything good. "Hide your veggie burgers, people."

Knuckles frowned. "That's an oxymoron." He says, and Sonic doesn't get to do anything further than a punctuating groan of annoyance before Amy's upon them. "Guess what!" She says, jumping up and down and up and down and up and down, circling their little table at the corner of MehBurger. "Guess what guess what guess what!"

Sonic stops Knuckle's head from following the rapid movements before the echidna throws up again. Tails gently shoves his goggles up, courteous. Sticks huffs, snorting chilli dog all over the table top. "Girl, with the way you're living your life I can't even begin to imagine." She drawls.

Amy seems completely unbothered by both the hypocrisy and lack of table manners, which is how Sonic knows it's serious. She slaps down the table, jostling all their meals and Tails' new tinker machine, and the small thing he'd spot her carrying was actually a little note—with a recognizably tidy and perfectly legible font.

"It's STONE!" She shrieks.

Ah, agent Stone, thought Sonic bitterly. A newer cast member in their little circus troupe. Stone had arrived about two Mobian summers ago, on a non-descript boat that docked at night and turned tail by sunrise, leaving behind a dark, handsome and mysterious stranger that hadn't bothered to introduce himself to the sleepy village in exchange for legging it up the miles it takes to Eggman's lair. Team Hero hadn't exactly been privy to what happens in the strangely peaceful days that follow, but if Cubot and Orbot are to be believed; the man in question had been a secret agent deployed by a shadow government organization going around calling themselves the Guardian Units of the Nation, better known as GUN. Or better better known as Eggman's previous employers.

As if it hadn't been unbelievable enough that Eggman used to have some sembance of a life before he'd washed up on their little island, the bots have then continued to explain they'd sent the man over to finish what GUN started when Eggman left: either to convince him to return to his job as a lab rat for the military, or kill him, once and for all.

(Pause here for a theatrical chorus of gasps.)

"We have to go save him!" Amy had cried.

"We do?" Sonic had asked.

"You don't have to," said Cubot, chipper and stupid as always. "The boss handled it."

It felt a bit anti-climatic. Sonic snorted. "Sure. And how'd he manage that? Convinced them he's too dumb to be of any value even if they brought him back to the mainland?"

Orbot shrugged. "Stone would have killed him, if so. No, they've established something of an…agreement." The red-toned round android explained with a significant pause,sharing a look with his twin compatriot. Realizing now that he might have let something slip that he probably shouldn't've, Orbot is quick to add; "The details of which remain highly confidential, of course."

Sonic shared his own meaningful look with Tails. They both know this probably meant the bots have no idea what these details even were. "Sure," Sonic said again, slowly. "So he…what? Left?"

"Oh, no." Said Cubot, happy. "He's here to stay."

"Stay?!" Everyone yelled, cartoonishly synchronized.

"Oh, yes." Said Orbot, a little ominously. It might be accounted to how clearly pleased he is about it. "He'd sworn an oath! The Doctor has now made him his right hand man, effective immediately. By all accounts, Agent Stone seems to have resigned his previous position in the military to assume this new job."

"He lives with us now!" Cubot adds. "It's great! He's so much better and tidier and less shouty than the boss, and we're pretty sure he's gonna be here for a long time-,"

"For now." Orbot adds mildly.

"-so the boss sent us down here just to give you that up-and-up." Cubot punctuates this statement with a thumbs up. "Professional and all that."

"It does make for a convenient exposition flashback." Knuckles agreed.

Sonic hadn't been entirely sure how he feels about this new guy; everyone on the Island knows he's the last person you'd think with any scrap of affection for Eggman (and they'd be right. Sonic would sooner laugh and point if Eggman had ever fell from his eggmobiles hundreds of feet off the ocean than lift a finger to help him.), but bloody rivalry aside, 5 years is an awful long time to know someone. Eggman was kinda-sorta-not really a friend, at this point, and the villagers had mostly began to regard his bi-weekly acts of destruction as some sort of predictable natural disaster pattern. At some point, you just kind of expected him to be there.

That in mind, Eggman was more than just his unrelenting desire for world domination. He's witty and kind of funny, in that pathetic kind of way.

Eggman is also, unmistakeably, painfully lonely. An…acquaintance might worry.

Of course, these concerns turn moot upon the man's debut appearance that following Sunday morning.

Stone fits like a puzzle piece.

He's quick, he's ruthless, he's fresh; in that new and exciting way that actually got Sonic thinking out of the box to beat him. Eggman's new plan had been to reform the geological structure of the island by force—allegedly to better shape the island for his future plans of clearing the whole thing out and building his Eggman Empire amusement park. The team had to go scattering to find each and every large scale bomb and missile launch scattered around the island and either deactivate or redirect it away from civilians—and the secret agent on the prowl had really come to play.

Agent Stone is a little more than human, though what exactly marks this difference, Sonic can't exactly tell. He's strong, sure—Amy strong—he's good, but worse than that was that he's smart. Stone in hand-to-hand combat is what Eggman thinks he would be. He was somehow in every position on the island at once—to a point where they had all initially suspected he had something similar to Shadow's chaos controlled teleportation—before Tails had figured out that they were playing a game of chess, and the board was connected through underground tunnels. Each detonation would begin the countdown for the next, at erratic moments, and Stone and Eggman knew all the places they'd have to be next.

It still took all five of them—Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Tails and Sticks—working together to be able to put Stone down for a good enough length of time that they could stop the next missile (and simultaneously deactivate every other missile throughout the island), and Stone takes the loss with such grace it still pissed him off. That almost familiar evil grin doesn't falter, not even once. He made proper introductions as he was apprehended by the village authorities. His suit is clearly designed by Eggman—with purple in place of Eggman's own iconic red—and hexagonal violet-tinted sunglasses over deep brown eyes, like a black hole. Looking at them exposed too long gives Sonic the willies.

Unsurprisingly, he broke out shortly after nightfall, safely ensconced once more in the Egg lair.

In the seasons that follow the team warm up to him with little fanfare. Sometimes Eggman shows up alone, and other times it's Stone—just like his debut— but most of the time they show up together, and now it's almost difficult to remember a time when Eggman had ever worked alone without his ever-present, slightly scarier shadow. They're close. Close close.

Stone is apparently perfectly amicable in his off-hours. Amy reports that he does a lot of knitting with her on Thursdays to share gossip, and Tails enjoys infodumping about aeronautic engineering on the man, since Agent Stone apparently had three PhD's. Knuckles remains indifferent (although he'd apparently enjoyed Stone's cookies—cookies which Sonic himself had never been offered), which leaves Sticks as the only person left on Sonic's side that still doesn't completely trust him.

Not the greatest indication of sanity.

This segues nicely back into our present hour.

(The screen pauses, gray, and static lines hit play over Amy's enthusiastic announcement. It's Stone! Colour returns.)

"Is he okay?" Tails asked.

"Does he need help?" Knuckles followed.

"Has he left?" Sonic hoped, and Amy hits him on the arm. It hurts, and he lets her know about it. "Ow."

Everybody ignores him. Typical. Amy barrels on. "Yes, no, maybe." She said, before inhaling deeply. As she breathes out, it is with another excited shriek—"Stone. Is. PREGNANT!"

To Sonic, it feels like the whole world had been shocked still. The entire table gasped.

"Oh my goodness!" Tails said.

"Good for him." Sticks said.

"What?" Sonic demands, whirling around to face the last ally he had in the face of their newcomer. "Sticks, you don't even like him!"

"I'm not an ass, Sonic." The badger rolled her eyes.

"It's happy news!" Amy agreed.

"Are you guys serious?" Sonic demands, rising to his feet. "This is terrible news! Eggman's procreating!"

Knuckles frowned. "Are you being homophobic right now?"

Tails, Sticks and Amy gasped in scandalized horror. Sonic facepalmed. "No, you idiots, I'm trans, why would I even—that doesn't even make any sense!"

"I'm honored you'd tell me that, man." Knuckles said gently.

"You see me wearing the trans pride pin at Pride every year!" Sonic yells, deranged.

"We should get Eggman one of those baby shower baskets." Tails suggests. Sonic feels like pulling his quills out.

"Is nobody listening to me?" He groaned, laying back against Sticks who has continued to munch on her lunch with disinterest. "Are we seriously going to celebrate new Eggbabies being welcomed into the world and making our lives living hell?"

"Eggbabies!" Amy said, already stepping up next to Tails as he gathered all the tinkering materials from his table. "That's so cute! Do you think they'd be born with little mustaches?"

"Ew," said Sticks. "I think they're gonna be born with laser robot eyes and chips behind their ears…just like all secret agent babies."

"Sticks, you don't really think secret agents are born with trackers in their brains, right?" Tails asked, worried.

"Hello?" Sonic demands, futile. The rest of the group is already headed for Amy's place, no doubt planning to gather all relevant materials in the making of their new plan; giving Eggman and Stone a baby basket to celebrate the news. There's no winning this. Even as Sonic whined and sighed and dragged his feet, he still follows, sulkily finishing the rest of his chilli dog on the way.

MY AU contains mentions of blood/mild gore and injury, typical cartoon violence, adult/suggestive themes, multishipping, shenanigans, cringe, and sonic characters.

These characters are the mental/physical age of when they were transformed into Vampires. Now how long they have been Vampires varies.

🦇 Sonic has been recently transformed into a vampire by Shadow after a few of their first dates. Before, Sonic was struggling to make rent and was a workaholic while pursuing his dreams in becoming a small writer/song artists but failed. After becoming a Vampire he learns about Shadows career as an idol, and his biggest secret- being a vampire. These Vampires have the ability to drink blood but prefer to find another means to drain the life from Mobians- singing. Sonic joins Shadow on stage to sing for large crowds and drain their energy without anyone noticing. The fans think the Vampire gig is all an act and for cosplay reasons. What a good coverup I'd say. 🦇

Shadow

Age 24 (Turned into a vampire 50 years ago)

Sings and writes music. Very trained and professional. Stoic in front of crowds, relaxed and cheerful in private.

Sonic

Age 29 (Recently turned Vampire)

Sings and Plays guitar. Unprofessional. Here to have a good time and simp for his boyfriend. Currently living with Shadow.

Silver

Age 30 (Turned into a vampire 200 years ago. )

Manager for the band. Tries to stay professional but is easily stressed by everyone. He does drink blood. Room mates with Espio.

Espio

Age: 29 (Mobian)

He is hired to be the errand boy, body guard, and chauffeur for the group. He is aware of their vampire secret. Some think he is the mutual vampire servant of Silver.

I like to make AUs with the main cast being older, above the age of 18 because that is how I view and depict them. I like my characters to be closer to my own age. They are mature and fit into my mature stories/settings.

MY AUs contain mentions of blood/mild gore and injury, typical cartoon violence, hemocraft, mentions of self harm, adult/suggestive themes, multishipping, shenanigans, cringe, and sonic characters.

I do write fanfiction for my Sonic AUs that are made for more mature audiences. 18+ with warnings when needed.

The content of my drawings are depicted as 18+ as a cautious warning, because I'm an adult and my content may lean more that way. 

Drawings posted here are SFW

Goodmorning, Goodbye and Goodnight: A Post About Farewells.

... How do you break away from something or a piece of yourself for so long? Or at the very least, do so in the public eye?

Let's not beat around the bush.

I'm not happy in the Sonic fandom at the moment.

(More below the post)

So let me make this PERFECTLY CLEAR I have not fallen out of love for Sonic. I still adore Sonic and I will more than continue to enjoy it!

But I'm unsure if that enjoyment can really be.. public.. for the time being.

For a while I've always couldn't help but notice that the fandom is a bundle of bickerers. Makes sense. Most of us here are ND and VERY opinionated!

But this all came to ahead when I was watching a video about Amy Rose. And as I watched, as interested as I was. A video dissecting her current writing I realized something...

I was fucking miserable!

Why do I CARE so much about other people's opinions about something I enjoy? Even if I cringe at that one bumblecast clip of Ian saying "he wishes he could redesign Amy".

Even IF I understand the concern.

I still LOVE Modern Amy! I was letting this video give me insight, yes but it also made me feel guilt for even LIKING IDW's take on Amy (and IDW in general).

Infact guilt is something I've felt A LOT in the fandom.

Shit man, Starline is my FAVORITE character in sonic, period. But it feels like both the fandom (and the writers, to an extent) want to guilt you into not liking him.

That liking him is some moral failing on YOUR part? (Literally Ignoring the fact we've literally had a few years to grow attached pre-imposter syndrome and that he didn't just magically appear post-Chao Race Arc)

Yes, Starline sucks. Yes, he (in canon) used two random mobians for cyborg stuff. I know this. He's still an enjoyable character and I don't excuse his canon actions. It's even why in my own canon of him Imposter syndrome isn't canon.

I'm tired of the stress, man. I'm tired of not enjoying Starline. I haven't been able to properly enjoy him in a wile.

For my birthday I actually bought a Bad Guys physical copy!

And I have not touched it at all.

The stress of keeping up with this fandom has actually caused me literal anxiety shivers. I don't have fun any more. There's just.. too much discourse.

And I think it's best for me if I take a step back from it. At least.

So.. What Happens Now?

Well! What happens now is that I take a public step back from the fandom! Like I said I still very much enjoy Sonic.. I just don't think that enjoyment will be AS public any more. Gush about it with friends! Play the games! Draw art.. For Myself!

This doesn't mean I won't be keeping a close eye on my sonic moots (you haven't gotten rid of me JUST yet!) but it does mean I'll probably start blocking tags. Taking some breathing room. Finding that love for Sonic again on my OWN time. Be a lil selfish with it!

I still love and adore my ocs (and they'll still be around on Toyhouse and Art Fight!) But their stories are mine to share.. and sometimes I can just.. not share them!

What happens to this Blog?

SHIT MAN! I'll still be around! I probably just won't be posting in the sonic tag any time soon. I'm in OTHER fandoms right now (Nicktoons, Crash, Etc) If you like my writing and my art In THIS fandom surely you'll enjoy it in others!/pos

Even if those fandoms are more.. obscure to say the least? This Blog, at it's core, has always been ABOUT multifandom stuff and It feels like it's finally returning to that!

Nature is healing! KingMaxStatic is finally posting about WEIRD fandoms only 3 people know about again!!

What Happens To Starvoltz?

Though not an as.. urgent question. It's one I feel has held a lot of weight, at least to me. I know people are GENUINELY such big fans of Starvoltz and I think it's been the ONE BIG THING keeping me back from making me step back from the fandom...

So... I'm killing both Starline and Voltz off..../j (I would never)

I still LOVE and ADORE Starline and Voltz! They mean the world to me (and even the MOON to me!) But over the course of the past few months I've felt a nagging GUILT about them.. and I don't want to feel that anymore. I want to ADORE Starvoltz like I used to...

and In order for me to do that I GOTTA step back.

If you wanna get a lil cute about it, you can think about it like the two going on a honey moon or a vacation!

If you've made it thus far.. thank you. Genuinely. Thank you for understanding! I hope you understand. I love sonic, I will always love sonic. But I need my own space to love Sonic.

I suppose maybe like the main character I need to be free.

Free like the wind.

[bitter-sweet-coffee]

What theory do you have regarding Babylon's loss of wings? I can understand if it's just how their species looks, but Rouge having wings while they don't seems strange to me. Sega even gave Honey the Cat white feathered angel wings, but not the actual bird species. 🫠

(I myself put slits on the back lol)

Okay Anon, this may seem like an easy answer question, but (un)fortunately, it is not! I have a lot to say on this, so much so that I whipped out my laptop and a word document to answer you, so let's delve into my personal lore for Babylonians, birds, and mobian-human relations: this isn't my official post for it, but until I have time to write a 900K word document on what the hell my canon is, THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!

CONTEXTUAL NOTE: I wouldn't classify this as a disclaimer, but I want to explain to the other people in these large tags what this post is. No, I am NOT claiming this is canon lore. No, it is not an AU. This is my personal canon-adjacent lore that has been carefully crafted with thoroughly intense regards to every piece of relevant source materials, going as far back as concept pieces from development. In order to make things work for MY canon, details have been changed and will sometimes contradict fragments of regular canon. Could I make everything cohesive and non-contradictory? Yes, and that's a different project of mine. This is my sandbox, you don't have to play in it (but it would be REALLY fun if you joined me :p) ONE LAST THING: I started writing this the second you sent it to me, then abandoned it until now where I did 90% of the writing. I am tired and slightly incoherent but I wanted it done, so sorry if it's rushed. You can send me more asks to clarify but I mean... i will probably make it worse lmao

THE CURSE OF BABYLON: OUR FALLEN ANGELS

HISTORY

1.1 Babylonians in Space

The Babylonians originate from the planet Babylon (lol duh), which is currently too far away from the major galaxies around Earth/Mobius to pinpoint an exact location, or who their neighbouring planets were. (Translation: one day I will design the star systems of the Sonic universe, but today is not that day!)

While most of the Babylonians reside on their home planet, exploration ships did go out in search of new technology, as these aliens pride themselves on their Treasure and Greatness. One of the common misconceptions about Babylonians is that 'treasure' translates to items of monetary value, but what they actually sought out was new technological advancements so they could pull from other developing planets and take what they've learned to improve their own inventions. This distorted sentiment is a tragic detail that spoils the reputation and ambition of the Babylonian descendants who have lost the true meaning of their heritage, but it's safe to say that some of them still think this way (cough, Wave and Tekno, cough).

Circling back to the point at hand though, I want to make it very clear that the Babylonians of Earth/Mobius are NOT the entire species, nor are they pure Babylonians. The real Babylon exists lightyears away, lost to the vastness of the universe, and Babylon Garden (Astral Babylon) was merely one ship that had been scouting various galaxies for new technology.

While it is not inherently relevant to the topic at hand, there was a brief moment in pre-crash Babylonian history where they were in alliance with the Black Arms. This took place before the war on Argentium with the Xorda, as the Babylonians tend to remain neutral during conflicts that do not concern them, but back on Babylon there are a separate class of Babylonian-Black Arms hybrids known to us as Corvids. The black pigment of these birds combined with their superior intelligence and durability was given to them through the power of chaos energy, something Babylonians do not possess in concentrated amounts when compared to other alien species, but was the result of crossbreeding with Black Arms. While there were some Corvids on Babylon Garden, the ship that crashed onto Earth/Mobius, many were made once more once the Babylonians had settled on the planet, welcoming a new, less potent version of this genetic branch. These Corvids are less powerful due to the weakened genetic purity of the Earth/Mobius-bound Babylonians, but they are still exceedingly brilliant, albeit near-extinct by present day.

1.2 Babylonians on Earth/Mobius

After travelling to the Nameless Zone and having a close call with the Berzerkers, Babylon Garden (the ship known as Astral Babylon) managed to emergency warp one last time to Earth/Mobius, the nearest dominant zone. Because of the damage caused by the Berzerkers, they disconnected the Ark of the Cosmos which had been used to manipulate gravity and warp them anywhere in space. This particular vessel was thus stranded on the planet, but their hopes of being found by other Babylonians who could bring them back home are the reason why Babylonians (and anyone in general) are inclined to make wishes on shooting stars. Making do with an 'inferior' planet, the Babylonians got somewhat of a negative reputation for their reclusiveness on their island, and superiority complexes when interacting with the planet's other inhabitants.

As the Babylonians split into different factions based on 3 major dogmas (which we will examine later) they developed a range of reputations. Because humans look down on mobians, the Babylonians which assimilated with other mobians were treated about as poorly as them. Contrastingly, Battle Kukus and the Battle Bird Armada are praised, respected, and in alliance with human society, especially the government. Their alienness has long been forgotten as Babylonian in origin, but their distinction from other mobians makes humans trust them more. If anything, the dominant public opinion is that "these ones aren't so bad, they can keep the inferior breeds of mobian in-line" which is fucked up to say the least. The Babylon Rogues are still regarded as Babylonian, and yet, hardly known, so they are as invisible and neutral as you can get. The modern reputations of these factions will be brought up again later from a current point of view, but it is safe to say that we have a full range of Babylonian reputation spanning from negative to positive.

1.3 Humans

Humans are racist, big shock! I won't dwell on it too much since this will eventually get its own post, but humans and Babylonians are biologically compatible, meaning there are plenty of humans who have Babylonian heritage. I don't mean like our REAL Babylonian descendants, which I feel like I should clarify. The non-fictional and historical city of Babylon (located in modern day Iraq) was named after the alien Babylon/Babylonians (in Sonic, obviously) because the biblical Tower of Babel depicted the tale of humans trying to reach heaven by building vertically: this sentiment being shared with the Babylonians who looked to the stars and longed to return home to Babylon. So, essentially, the history is reversed here!

Some humans worshipped the Babylonians, and there were a good number of them who had Babylonian-Human children. They turned out normal, arguably more normal than the ones who ended up with mobians, but the racism kinda discouraged this. There was a good deal of fetishization of these hybrids so they don't exist anymore, not to mention how the recessive nature of Babylonian traits discourages this practice. BASICALLY, a lot of humans have some percentage of Babylonian DNA, but it's barely detectable in the modern age… it DID happen though.

GENETICS

2.1 Babylonians

Even back on their home planet, the trait of having full sets of wings was recessive. You can see even by looking at murals of Babylonians provided in the games:

Wings? Where are the WINGS?!? I mean, there's this:

... but if we zoom out:

it is clear that while full sets of wings exist, few Babylonians had them, and the ones that did were ranked higher and even worshipped for their abilities, making them angelic to some extent.

So, considering that only a "small" (subjective) portion of Babylonians were on Babylon Garden when it crashed, it is safe to say that our starting numbers for the winged gene are… actually not as minimal as we might initially think. (But I just mentioned a hierarchy???)

More specifically, there are two types of wings we are going to examine: forearm wings, and back wings. The former are more common albeit still not universally inherited, and the latter were always persons of great status and power, as marked by their organic ways of flight. Since our Babylonians could not go back home or attain more fully-winged persons, this immediately impacted social hierarchies with even more emphasis being placed on genetic superiority.

I am going to simplify the genetics, but essentially, the rules are as follows:

Back-wings are an AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE trait. This means that both parents must be carriers for there to even be a chance of inheritance. Here is a handy dandy visual I stole from google images because I am too lazy to draw you a punnett square:

Armed-wings are an AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT trait. Look at the chart above, any square with a dominant letter (R) inherits the trait. Essentially, unless both parents are recessive with no forearm-wings (rr and rr) a Babylonian will inherit the trait.

Carriers of the Back-wing trait have a 50% chance of having armed-wings. Don't ask how this works, assume it is magic if you don't know genetics that well (genetics are magic anyways LOL)

From this, it is quite evident how traditional (back) wings phased out of the genepool. While it is true that non-Babylonians can carry the back-wing gene (mobians who have wings), Babylonians by nature are almost always recessive! Birdness? Recessive. Tall, humanoid proportions? Recessive. So while mating with a winged-mobian increases the likelihood of having a set of proper wings, the offspring will almost always be the same species as the mobian parent. Thus, it is far more likely for a modern day Babylonian descendant to have armed-wings as opposed to back-wings, which require a very lucky combination of genetic makeup to present as a trait.

Forearm-wings are capable of gliding and sometimes flight, but are very limiting in terms of regular mobility since the arms would have to be somewhat underdeveloped to work as wings. It's also a bitch to try and hold things or wear shirts when your long feathers take up so much space, not to mention how you'll have to choose between flight and non-restrictive clothing. Weight is also a factor, as there is not enough power in arm-flapping to fly, unless one is very light. Furthermore, while a Babylonian child may fly with forearm-wings, they will probably grow out of it.

2.2 Evolution via Assimilation

The recessive nature of Babylonian genes also explains how they evolved to look more akin to mobians than humans. The modern day Babylon Rogues and much of the Battle Bird Armada pass as mobians, hence why Babylonian heritage is long forgotten and perhaps extinct according to most. However, the genes swing both ways: many non-birds (both mobian and human) are also some percentage of Babylonian, the traits are just recessive (making them carriers). There's a huge mutation that I'm about to cover, but it is safe to say that foxes are probably the utmost carriers of it!

2.3 Mutated Genes

There are two main mutations I want to talk about, so I will section them off. I'm sure people can think of more, and I do have a handful in the works, but the ones that are interesting and important to my lore are as follows:

a) Blue Eyes

Ever notice how essentially, across the comics and games, basically every single bird has blue eyes? Speedy and Soar are the only two who are given eye colours outside of blue (they have brownish-red eyes) with the rest having either no colour (black) or blue. When you take a look at who else has blue eyes, basically all the foxes do! Look deeper, and a lot of the characters with heightened intellect/wit or innovative skills have blue eyes. I'm not saying all innovative characters have blue eyes, that's racist, but all of the characters with blue eyes are either birds, smarties, or both. Some of this is character design prejudice, as I am a sucker for beautiful brown eyes mwah, but the pattern does exist.

Wait… what about Eggman? Maria? ELISE, WHOSE ROYAL CREST IS ALSO A BIRD? Need I remind everyone that the real life blue-eye mutation was traced back to a common ancestor? BLUE EYES ARE ALSO RECESSIVE, JUST LIKE ALL OTHER BABYLONIAN TRAITS! I SAID IT FOR A REASON, GUYS! I've constantly brought up how Babylonians are equally compatible with humans and mobians, and it is because this genetic mutation was the result of breeding with Babylonians. Blue eyes are an alien trait that for Earth/Mobius, was Babylonian in origin. It goes beyond blue eyes though, because these inventor-types with blue eyes also tend to be taller and leaner, making them somewhat comparable to the original mural depictions of the Babylonians.

Take it or leave it, I'm not claiming this was intentional or intended to be canon… but it is. To ME. When you combine real genetics with anthropomorphic furries, you're allowed to take some liberties and come up with fun ways to explain certain genetic traits. (I also failed to mention earlier that foxes exist in the Nameless Zone and were tied to the fall of Babylon, so it makes sense that Babylonians upon crashing to Earth/Mobius would seek familiarity in the mobian foxes already inhabiting the planet, thus tying the wit of kitsune to the innovation of Babylonians on a historic level.) Oh and before I move on, blue eyes are a recessive trait in almost every circumstance... the exception is to Babylonians, where it is a dominant trait. Brown eyes, if you are a bird, are recessive, hence why we only have 2 instances of brown eyes! Okay, there might be a few other background character birds I'm missing, but we either cannot see their eyes, or they're black (stylistic) or BLUE! Let me have this lol

b) Ovisanguitan Testalysis (OT)

Wow, that's a fancy name for "eggs no work" isn't it? This may come as a surprise, but Babylonians did not lay eggs, they are viviparous: need I repeat myself on how they're humanoid? Anyways, while Babylonians have viviparous births, mobian birds that are NOT Babylonian still exist. It might feel like I am pulling this out of nowhere, and perhaps it is a bit hypocritical for me to say "not all birds are going to be Babylonian!" after attributing an entire recessive trait to them two seconds ago, I firmly believe that birds exist outside of Babylon with no genetic ties. This is because… (inhales) BABYLONIANS ARE NOT BIRDS! THEY ARE BIRD-ESQUE, BUT THEY ARE HUMANOID BIRD-ESQUE CREATURES! Wanna know what else look like birds? BATS! DINOSAURS! DRAGONS! CERTAIN INSECTS!

Just because the Babylonians pride themselves on their birdness, it does not necessitate that birdness is exclusive to Babylonians. However, if modern day Babylonians are birds who have assimilated to be very mobian in composition, it would seem that they would be conceived and developed via eggs, not viviparously. As I established though, Babylonian traits are recessive, and therefore still possible (though not probable) given the right genetic composition.

Some modern day Babylonians then, have a reproductive disorder called Ovisanguitan Testalysis, known as OT. While egg-laying mobians develop about 1/3rd of their offspring inside their body before laying, with the latter part of development occurring independently inside the egg which hatches when completed, Babylonians initially gave birth at the end of term like humans do. Modern day Babylonians with OT will "lay" the same time regular egg-laying mobians do, aka after the first trimester, but because of their Babylonian genes, their body does not physically form a shell around the embryo before it is expelled. Without a shell, this is essentially a VERY premature birth that cannot be incubated or salvaged, and is more comparable to an abortion or miscarriage resembling a bloody clump of cells than a premature child.

There are very few instances where Babylonians with OT are able to prevent their bodies from expelling the embryo prematurely with enough calcium supplements and full-time hospitalization that prevents the premature rejection of the fetus, but because the Babylonians with this disorder are almost always Rogues (I'll probably explain that later) it is essentially just a very rare disorder which affects a small population that aren't even registered as legal citizens to any country. It is not IMPOSSIBLE to successfully have a child with OT, just highly unlikely, and they will probably be underdeveloped in some areas (the most likely defect being a lack of immune system… so the child will probably die from disease even if they make it to term).

Also, if someone with OT were to carry a child to term via medical intervention, the strain this puts on their body will most likely kill them, and if by some miracle they survive, they will be incapacitated as they will never fully recover from the nutrient drainage and overall stress this puts on the body. If this rant feels completely out of place in this response let me have it please, where else am I gonna mention it!?

DOGMAS

With regards to the Babylonians on Earth/Mobius, there are certain branches of absolute belief (dogmas) that they dispersed into, each one thinking they are superior over the other two. These might not seem directly related to your question, but it provides so much scope for how genes are relevant to the three dogmas. Also, with all these groups splitting off, the genetic odds of back-wings decreases significantly.

3.1 Assimilate

Most Babylonians assimilated with the mobians… okay, and the humans. There are humans who have Babylonian DNA even in modern times, but I think we all know who the more obvious choice was, considering the racism and all. These Babylonians found no reason to fight internally about their blood purity or distinct alien features because birds already exist in the universe outside of Babylon. Being more bird-like has nothing to do with surviving as a species, so the truth of the matter is that a lot of Babylonians couldn't care less and therefore didn't! Due to most Babylonians adopting this dogma, the physical, recessive traits disappeared almost immediately, with wings being first to go.

3.2 The Battle Birds

Initially, the only group that existed outside of assimilation were the Battle Kukus, or the Battle Bird Armada. They believed in Babylonian supremacy, and still exist to this day with the same dogma more or less. However, the way Kukus go about defining "Babylonian" is… based on their birdness, combined with regular eugenics, of course. Kukus pride themselves on strength and unity as a faction, with defected birds being snuffed out and eaten up until recent decades… that we know of. They probably still are cannibals lol.

Despite their disdain for other creatures of flight, non-birds with wings can produce viable children for the Kukus and are permitted to do so, as the Kukus only desire the FITTEST members, not the ones with the most Babylonian DNA. More on this in a second, let's circle back to the non-bird policy. I want to make it clear that this is not a good thing, because the Armada is only using winged-mobians for the increased likelihood of the recessive wings trait! They need to be the ones carrying by the way, so it gets prejudiced and sick from every angle: come on now, we can't just use winged mobians for breeding farms… doesn't stop them though! However, only birds can join the Armada, and because of how it is often one or the other (you either are a bird or have back-wings) most of these "outsourced" offspring are not Kukus.

Kukus pride themselves on their birdness, so forearm-wings are permitted for those of adequate status: you have to clip them back until you are given permission to fly. They despise the use of flight-based technology, as it makes flight accessible to non-birds, which as we know, pisses them the fuck off.

3.3 The Babylon Rogues

The Babylon Rogues were initially Kukus, hundreds of years ago that is. During the Salem Witch Trials, black-pigmented mobians were hunted to near-extinction, as witchcraft was associated with the Black Arms, and the Black Arms are the reason mobians possess the black-pigment genes. Thus, even if one was not outwardly alien, being black (hah) made mobians targets for burnings or ritualistic sacrifice by both humans AND other mobians. They were dubbed Familiars of witches, or demons from the heavens (aka Black Arms) and killed for no other reason. Remember the Corvids? HAH! Yeah, there's a reason most of them are gone, even though the Babylonian-Corvids were initially able to grow their numbers with the birds on Earth/Mobius. Praised universally for their intelligence and superiority among Babylonians, the fall of the Corvids was a hefty tragedy that struck the Kukus horribly. Despite this, most of them did not care and continued to pride themselves on their birdness.

The Rogues however, objected, and believed that the Kukus had lost sight of what was important to them as Babylonians. Cooperating with humans? Becoming bird supremacists? Establishing a militaristic, ascetic regime that limits their power to the planet they're stuck on, claiming to only rule the skies and all below it? NAH. The Rogues care more about returning to the stars, and innovating their technology. Kukus pride themselves on their physical birdness which allows them to fly, but the Rogues care more about using their intellect and innovative skills present in their technological advancements. Speedy (the Kuku) even notes in the comics that extreme gear is outdated, and most original Armada content has little to do with the boards themselves. The Rogues however, are defined by their technological feats, which is technically closer to what the original Babylonians valued.

This generational disdain for Earth/Mobius and its people has led to some… moral corruption amidst the Rogues. While Babylonians were originally travelling across galaxies with good (albeit still arrogant) intentions on their quest of technological advancement, the Rogues are more thrifty to say the least. When non-Babylonians succeed at innovation, the Rogues believe that they just got lucky and accidentally attained genius, and make it their mission to steal the good parts from others and "make better use of this technology" after thrifting it. Other times, Rogues claim that other moments of genius were stolen from Babylonian technology, and thus, by stealing back any advancements made on Earth/Mobius, they are "reclaiming the culture stolen from them" or whatever. This is far more condescending and malicious than the initial Babylonians, which the Kukus dismiss as hedonism.

They're not WRONG, dare I said both sides are partially correct? Even so, the Rogues rebelled from their Armada and continued on their quest to find the best treasures and technological advancements on Earth/Mobius, stealing them for personal usage to hopefully fuel their ambition to reach the stars and find Babylon once more.

Before we move on, I should probably relate this back to wings with a fun fact. The Babylon Rogues CAN grow forearm wings, it's not that rare of a trait as we established. However, in order to distance themselves from the Kukus and reject their birdness, they tattoo their forearms: this floods the feather follicles with ink, preventing wing growth. The Rogues literally and symbolically choose their hands (INNOVATION, TANGIBILITY, INVENTION: to reach towards the sky… and to steal with) over their wings that honestly don't even work well enough to be effective. If they want to fly, they will use technology as the Babylonians once did, hence their reliance on and pride in Extreme Gear.

The EX Grand Prix was originally a community-based initiative for Rogues to show off their advancements and push the limits of Extreme Gear Mechanics to see who was getting closer for finding a way home, but the thrill of sports deterred them and now there are too many board restrictions (cough and shitty air-tank-exclusive shells mass produced by non Babylonians such as MeteoTech) to make this actually useful. Oh, and there are not enough mechanics to sustain the educational value of the Prix, which sucks. Sorry Wave!

Finally, if it wasn't already clear, the Babylon Rogues value what percentage of Babylonian DNA you have over your physical traits. They aren't inbred, but there's a reason we only have 3 remaining Babylon Rogues…

AFTERMATH

This is more of a "small things I missed" section because if you managed to read this far, I doubt you want MORE incoherent rambling. I'm tired, you're tired, we all just wanted to know where the wings went. BUT, since we're already invested I'm going to perform a lightning-round and give some concise wrap-ups for some of the loose ends I created!

4.1 Legal Rights

Members of the Battle Bird Armada were given equal rights to humans ever since they were instated to the government on a worldwide level. Almost every country endorses the Kukus; they are government funded and given full control of the skies so long as they keep mobians "in check" and work in tandem with GUN. You might be wondering why I choose to make them part of the human government when they're supposed to be aligned with Eggman, to which I point out that Eggman is ALSO in kahoots with the human government. When Eggman took over during Forces, human cities were spared from destruction so long as they were being compliant.

It is heavily implied if not indirectly confirmed that Eggman makes all the weapons and machinery for GUN, and the reason he has an infinite amount of resources for all his projects is because he is given permission from the human governments to do whatever the fuck he wants. "Oh but why does Sonic have to defend the humans from Eggman?" It's all about how Eggman and GUN can help one another under the table. Money. The answer is money and political corruption. The Kukus and Eggman can be allies or enemies, no one gives a fuck, they're both protected by government funds anyways.

The Babylon Rogues, as they are not assimilated mobians OR Kukus, are thus not registered citizens. This is why they can commit crimes and remain immune to genuine repercussions including imprisonment, but it is also why we do not know how many of them still exist. Jet, Storm, and Wave are presumably the last 3, but we have no way of confirming this since it's not like they exist in any databases within mobian or human censuses, or services such as healthcare or residency. They have so much money that it does not even matter, but as free as they are, it kinda sucks that they are not protected by the law either.

4.2 Present Day Relations (Very Concise)

No one knows about the Rogues, so who cares!

Humans love the Kukus... usually. Don't look into the cannibalism.

The Rogues despise the Kukus and will never cooperate with them.

The Kukus despite the Rogues, but believe that some of them are of use to the Armada. Lazy, incompetent, and inferior Rogues are hunted for the kill, but someone like Wave who is very Babylonian (genetically), has a Corvid father (in my lore), and is a mechamechanical genius unheard of and unchallenged… they really want someone like her. After they lost Tekno there was a horrendous void to fill, so while they will patronize the Rogues, they think that some of them can be "fixed" for a greater purpose.

Mobians don't typically like either faction as both dogmas are too extreme (read as: rooted in eugenics)

4.3 Predator Hawk

This pertains to my lore specifically, so feel free to skip it. Ehem:

MY Predator Hawk had back-wings. Emphasis on HAD. Remember how the Battlelord threatened to clip his wings off in the comics? Well, due to a black market intervention, a certain someone used the Battlelord's anger towards Pred to convince him that the Battlelord demanded his wings be removed for failing his mission to recruit and/or kill the three remaining Babylon Rogues: a final mission given to him after he attacked Speedy as a last chance to redeem himself. In reality the Battlelord did NOT actually request this to happen and actually has no idea where Predator Hawk disappeared to, but it remains the case that his wings were twisted off of him with a wrench (I swear it wasn't Wave's) and sold on the black market. He still has the large gashes on his back that are semi hollow, as the base of the wing-bones were merely cut off, not fully extracted as that would rip his spine. Rather, the base bones lay flush inside the crevices of his back, and if he were to tense, the nubs of the bones pop out by about 7 inches. The skin healed around the bones so there's no blood, he just has permanently exposed bones.

Pred obviously can't fly anymore, but I felt like it would be really stupid if I were to come up with all this lore for Babylonian wings only to NOT have any avian characters who possess back-wings. So… I retconned Predator a little bit and made him a fucked up creature with trauma! I have a lot of other rants about Predator Hawk pertaining to my canon, but I honestly need to stop typing this, so if anyone wants more... it is on a requested basis.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I'm sure I had some final thoughts when I started this, and it was not meant to be NEARLY this long of a response. While I feel like I didn't directly answer your question, hopefully there's some catharsis dispersed in everything I rambled about here. In summary though, I do NOT give the Rogues wings because the Curse of Babylon (ehem, recessive back-wings) makes it nearly impossible for Babylonians of the modern day to have wings. If they did have wings, they would be from forearm feathers: lots of birds in the Armada have these. Due to dogmatic differences and a convoluted history of identity-based conflicts though, the Rogues tattoo away the possibility of hybrid arms in the pursuit for technologically-based flight. The exception is Predator Hawk, who HAD wings, but then had them removed against his will. He is still bitter about it.

Did anyone make it this far? If so, you're a fucking FREAK, and I encourage you to send me more asks, because I could ramble forever about Sonic lore. It does not have to be related to the Babylon Rogues, you can ask me anything, but do take into account that I am clearly a bit obsessive and might take some time to answer. But when I do… it will be a shitshow like this response was. You read to this point though, so clearly you're into it. ENABLE ME! Love ya <3

[askthehedgehogs]

May be a weird question, but either of you have fangs? I'm guessing Shadow, but Hedgehogs have them without alien DNA so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yeah, we both do. It's pretty common for Mobians.

Ironically you rarely see Shadow's 'cause he never really does a full-face grin. But his are a little sharper than mine.

[steel-nemesis]

IT'S ROCKET TIME! Here's why YOU, a citizen of Tumblr, need to vote for ROCKET in the polls! Here's a little bit about them! Feel free to send in any questions you might have about them! @sonic-oc-showdown

Personality: Rocket is a shy and timid, yet very sweet individual once you get to know them! They're a lover of all things stars, aliens, and space, and they're also one of the coziest Shadow Androids around! You might catch them cozied up in a nest of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals, or you can even catch them in an oversized sweater or onesie!

Once they get to know you, they're pretty much like a VERY affectionate cat. They'll relax on your lap, snuggle you for hours on end, and maybe even take a little nap where they sit. Rocket doesn't speak very much ( selective mutism. ), but rather they tend to chirp, purr, and make other animalistic sounds as their main form of communication!

Speaking of animalistic tendencies... Rocket has other behaviours as well! Such as loving to scamper around on all 4s, bringing back small animals ( or even Mobians on some occassions! ) as presents to those that they care about, and making nests for themselves to sleep in!

And now, for some fun little tidbits about them!

- Rocket is Agender, and goes by they/it!

- It's autistic and has selective mutism!

- They got blue paw beans! Come on, who doesn't love paw beans?

- Their favourite food is pickled onions, despite not needing to eat.

- Their favourite drinks are apple juice, strawberry boba tea, and strawberry milk!

- Rocket is 2'11!

- They have a best friend named Obscurity! A purple Shadow Android created by @sonicattos !

Credits for the lovely artwork go to my good friends WashedZombie ( top two. ) and @sonicattos ( bottom. ), who both did an amazing job with Rocket! As well as credits for @bunnymajo for the lovely name tag up top!

[creativesploosh]

Y'know, I should probably make an actual, not in-universe introduction to at least one of my Sonic AUs....

Well, get ready for a ramble! (Sorry in advance if I use too much color, I like color-coding names and such- LOL)

Too Little, Too Late! AU

This is a Sonic AU regarding one (not-so-simple) question:

What if Sonic worked for Eggman?

How would this change the world, and how would certain characters react?

Situated in Starlight City, a place run by the ever-looming Empire, this AU aims to answer all of these theoretical questions.

This AU has a few working names; Too Little, Too Late (TLTL) and Empire!AU, both of which have tags associated with them.

I tend to use Empire!AU as a shorthand for TLTL (Empire!Sonic, Empire!Amy, etc) though both names work.

Here's our main cast:

- Tails Scavenger the Fox

A genius fox who sticks to the shadows and has made it his life's goal to take down the Empire. He never had a Sonic when he was bullied; he just took it, and took it, and took it, hiding away one day, and never looking back.

- Project Cobalt Bullet

A secret project by Scavenger... The Empire has sustained minor losses of mechanical material when Enforcer Units are decommissioned, but no one knows why.

- Amy Rose

A kind-souled, young citizen who stumbled across a lone fox while she was walking one day. She wants to help him, but she isn't aware of everything Scavenger has done or plans to do.

- Sonic the Hedgehog

Key General to the Empire, and the strongest force in its army; he was taken by Ivo a long time ago, far before he knew what was right. He's the bane of Scavenger's existence.

- Ivo Robotnik

Sonic's boss and the running monarch over the Empire he established on the isles. He's the "father" of Sage, the city's AI guard, and the creator of everything Scavenger hates.

Follow this blog if you'd like to ask questions directly to the main fox himself, Scavenger!

Art to come soon, hopefully I can figure out how in Chaos drawing Mobians works in a timely manner.... (Mfw I have designs for Sonic and Tails but I can't draw:)

[redpenship]

Did Eggman know Tails was gonna kill him when he did, I'm sure he was somewhat aware of Tails planning to or at least considering it maybe, but did he know when was tails planning to?

What were his thoughts on that last phone call between them? Every time I reread that part I always imagined him grinning when Tails quoted his words from the first day they met, it was such a good scene!!

Anyways big fan of yours! Have a great day.

To answer the first question, he knew that Tails trying to kill him would happen eventually, but he was mostly convinced that he could get what he wanted before that happened. Tails theorizes in the last chapter that Eggman had put him into a high pressure environment where murder for revenge/freedom was likely, but tried to stave that off as long as possible by giving Tails plenty of concessions and even letting him completely change the nature of the empire to be more palatable to him. This is mostly true! Eggman was trying to sell Tails on the empire because he wanted him to stick around. However, his plan was to release Tails as soon as the solution to the energy crisis was found. His fatal mistake, really, was choosing not to reveal this to him because he worried that a promise of eventual freedom would nullify the pressure he was putting on him.

Eggman did not know that Tails was planning to kill him when he got to the ARK. He'd come to a similar conclusion as Tails, where he believed the fox would only try to escape when he had the solution to the crisis so he could use it as leverage in negotiations with humans. With that in mind, he may have actually been pretty happy when Tails announced his intention to kill him! His only goal had been to save science. If Tails was openly planning to kill him, then it meant that he'd solved the crisis. His extremely risky and long-term plan of moulding a kid into someone capable of taking over the planet and saving science had worked! I can imagine that he would smile about it, even if he knew he was about to die.

Some fun background notes on how I characterized him behind the scenes:

If Tails had continued resisting in chapter one, Eggman would have let him go.

A lot of what Eggman does in chapters 1-3 is designed to test and nurture Tails' confidence. Tails comments on this in chapter eight, when he realizes that Eggman had been protecting him from developing an inferiority complex in relation to humans. (I'm diving into this a lot more in the sequel, where Eggman realizes that insecurity is what's holding back Starline from achieving his academic dreams. Most of Starline's chapters are flashbacks where they develop the Alhazen plan together).

Eggman generally does not like humans at all. I never really had him express this, but he was very bitter being born and raised on a planet where science didn't work because humans had been forced to flee their home world. This disdain was also solidified when he was frequently abused by the government as a child. I had originally given what they'd done to him a lot more detail, but I was forced to remove it and leave really vague implications instead because it was bordering on child sexual abuse territory and that was NOT a warning tag I was willing to put on a fanfic where a child was at the complete mercy of an adult for most of the story. I worried it would cast a dark shadow over his relationship with Tails, even when Tails wasn't the victim in question, so I took it out completely.

For the most part, Eggman pitied Mobians for evolving on a planet with messed up physics and as a result held a more neutral to favourable view of them. (I'm actually not a very big fan of works that portray Eggman as being some variety of human supremacist. I think he's more fun as a chaotic neutral type, or something more in line w/ his canon personality where he thinks he's superior to everyone regardless of their species haha).

I've said this a few times before, but he did genuinely respect Tails! He was really hoping Tails would come around and want to be in his empire, but unfortunately that did not happen. I think he may have been able to succeed if he'd caught Tails a little earlier, before Sonic had laid a strong moral foundation for him. That stupid hedgehog is always ruining his plans :(

Thanks for the question!!

fuck pony express i will expose their damn secrets idc anymore.

🦌｢ Information Center ｣🐈

Hello! You reached the Mouthwashing!Samael Morales the Deer-Cat ask blog! These are things you need to know, but any more questions will be answered throughout the blog's duration and by asking questions to Samael.

This blog is based on the events of @ask-postcrash-curly. Samael is one of the voices, but at the beginning half of the blog. I am debating saying which anon posts they were because 1) no indicator and 2) I just don't want to. You guys gotta ask. <3

This blog is still a work in progress in the aesthetic department. The appearance may change, especially the profile picture.

Samael does not know the future of the blog/what has been going on. He knows about the little things before the crash and little bits and pieces post crash. If you want, you can tell him, but I am 80% sure he won't believe you.

The Mouthwashing!Samael Morales the Deer-Cat timeline, aliens are a thing, but specifically Animalians which function like Mobians from the Sonic series. Just an excuse to have anthropomorphic characters with funny powers.

Animalians are naturally stronger/agile than a human due to them being human size animals and their home planet having heavy gravity. Even then, they do have special abilities like super strength, super speed, etc. Samael is a psychic that can go through dreams, telepathy, etc. It just got bass boosted to the max that he is able to interact with you guys and able to talk to Curly from a different timeline entirely.

Animalians are uncommon on earth though. No one really sees them walking around on a regular basis. If you want more lore questions, ask me or Samael.

Oh, and this is a reference to him by the way. Remember this when you make angst. You're making this man cry.

This is an actual ask blog in his world. However, you can be voices in his head if you want, just put your ask in italics. I would say if you are acting as canons to change the text color, however, my phone does not see color text on the app, I would have to go on my computer or on the browser for that.

Samael has met/is associated with the Tulpar crew at least Once. Specifically Swansea ( he is childhood friends with one of his kids ), Daisuke ( they went to high school together for a bit. ), Jimmy, and Curly ( Had a big falling out. Were gym friends and talked between hauls. ) Talking to Curly was a last ditch attempt for. . .man he doesn't have a clue either that's why he gave up on talking

He is a Maine Coon-Vampire Deer hybrid. Be nice.

Oh. Silly me, forgot to do tags in this thang.

#samael jots -- samael is actually typing like a blog.

#samael thoughts -- he is thinking and such. it will also be accompanied by yellow colored text.

#mod talks -- I am. . .talking. Dude running this blog. It's me.

Cybernetics - Chapter 30

Amy Rose is a mechanic, plain and simple. But aside from that, she feels utterly alone in a cruel world where she makes just enough to scrape by. One night she’s visited by a mysterious Cyborg that needs his arm fixed, little does she know this repair will change her life.

Flung from the confines of her normal life, Amy finds herself working with Anarchists set on creating a new life for themselves and the poor people of Mobius. The only downside? Seeing who she thought was her best friend fight against her.

Previous/Next

Amy had taken Shadow rushing off to last minute check the plan with Blaze in stride. Her and Rouge now sat in their respective seats in the small ship, pointing out at the other Mobians outside. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles had all gotten similar flight suits- highlighted with the colors blue, yellow, and white respectively. From where they sat, they could see Tails listening intently to one of the technicians with Sonic beside him looking bored, to say the least. Knuckles had been instructed to step inside their ship a while ago after he managed to dent one of the metal floor tiles. 

“You guys ready?” Blaze had appeared at the open door to their cockpit, Shadow in tow. 

“We’ve already been up there and survived once- we can do it again.” Rouge grinned and flashed Blaze a thumbs up as Shadow squeezed past the cat mobian and made his way to his own seat. 

“How come you two get to sit in front?” He questioned.

“Because we got here first!” Amy shot back with a smile. Shadow shrugged and rolled his eyes. 

“Alright, I’ll go check in with team Sonic. You’ll get some last words and a count down from me over your comms system and then you’ll be on your way- got it?”

‘Got it’ the team echoed, nodding their heads. 

“I trust you guys a lot more than them-” Blaze gestured vaguely out the large front window in the direction of team Sonic, “-so I’m trusting that no matter what those idiots do, you three know your objective and stick to it. Okay?” Everyone nodded quietly. 

With a dip of her head, Blaze turned and exited the ship. They watched quietly as she made her way across the large hangar to Sonic and Tails, who followed her into the ship. Resistance technicians rushed around silently, doing last minute button presses and screw tightens. They scribbled notes and nodded confidently to each other. This really was it. 

“What are you thinking, Amy?” Rouge inquired, leaning forward in her seat slightly. 

“Hmm…” Amy hummed, leaning back and looking up to the ceiling, “Just that I can’t believe how much time has passed. Everything seemed to happen so quickly. And now we’re here.” 

“You think we win, then?” She pressed.

“We have to win.” Shadow interjected. Rouge shot him a look over her shoulder.

“I didn’t ask the passenger. I asked my copilot.” She smirked. Amy smiled. 

“I think we win.” She turned to look at Shadow, “Especially since you’re so determined.” 

Shadow’s ear twitched, but he was silent. 

“Listen up, crews.” Blaze’s voice suddenly boomed to life over the speakers. “The time is now. In the next minute your ships will be ejected and you’ll be put on the flight path to dock at Doctor Robotnik’s main ship. Your goal is to take him down from the inside. Once we have this egg head out of our fur we’ll be free to move on with much bigger strides. Don’t fail me now.”

The cockpit was eerily silent as Blaze’s mini speech concluded. It seemed that they were all feeling the pressure, even Shadow- who she noted had shut his eyes and ducked his head down as she glanced behind herself. Amy couldn’t help but notice the strained mouth and furrowed brows, hands gripping his knees tightly- she didn’t take him to be the type to pray, but it certainly seemed like he was talking to someone in the privacy of his own mind. 

Next to her, Rouge looked ahead. She seemed determined, the corners of her mouth quirked up in a small smile. Amy tried to copy her look and looked ahead. Then, the ship shuddered, and started moving.

The Sonic crew’s ship moved along next to them, being carried by whatever rail was beneath them to get to the hatch. They stopped, there was a loud, blaring beep, and then the hatch above them began to screech open. Dirt and rust rained down on the two ships, light pouring into the otherwise dark hangar. 

Then, before she knew it, they were launched out into space. 

The city flew past sooner than she could blink, as did the clouds and the used to be blue sky. Before she had even taken a breath the sky had grown pitch black, dotted with little stars in the far off distance. It was silent and beautiful.

But there was no time to admire it, they had to stay focused. 

Ahead of them Robotnik’s ship loomed, dangerous and brooding. She could see other ships docking and being taken in, that's when she realized she wasn’t even quite sure which one Tails was in anymore. But no one said anything, as if all of space had held its breath just for this moment. Amy’s heart pounded in her chest as the main ship grew closer and closer.

Docking sequence started. 

The ship spoke to them, robotic and female, as she heard the thrusters change intensity. The hatch to the main ship hissed open, and then they landed.
