SEGA Mandates explained (Remake)

World Specific

Storytelling: The heroes must always win at the end

Mobius: The term Mobius and it's other terms, Mobians and Mobini are banned because they originate from 90s US Canon and Sonic Team wants to make it clear that Sonic games take place on Earth

Exception: Sonic Spinball being canonized via Origins, Ian Flynn and the Sonic Channel canonizes Planet Mobius and Mount Mobius, (unless they decide to change these)

Character Living Statuses:

Game characters cannot be killed off

Dead characters cannot come back to life

Character Families: Game characters cannot have family members unless they were established in the game canon

Exception: The Shadow Manga gave Shadow a brother, Gyoro/Bug-Eye

Male Characters: Male characters that aren't humans, can't wear pants

Exception: Tails Nine wears pants

Romance: Characters can have crushes but they can't date or get married

Money: Only Team Chaotix can talk about money, Sonic Team also considers treasure different from money

Rings: Ian Flynn has stated he has no idea if the Rings are canon or not, the Rings are most likely canon due to their multiple story appearances but they can't be used for story purposes

Humans: Due to complaints from critics and 90s US fans, humans besides Eggman weren't allowed to appear until Shadow Generations, which is why the Two Worlds retcon existed, stating there's a human planet and an animal person planet, however Tailstube has killed that Retcon and the current canon is that humans live on continents and animal people live on islands

Special Stages: In early canon, the Special Stages were wither distortions or subspace, they are no longer canon, thus Fang is no longer from them

Super Forms: Ian Flynn claimed that only Male Hedgehogs could go Super, however Morio Kishimoto would state that mandate never existed and had this to say:

"Whether one can become super or not, I think it depends on the necessity of the gameplay"

Super Forms of Tails, Knuckles, Mighty and Ray exist in Sonic Mania

Super Amy exists in Sonic Origins, (though non canon)

Super Knuckles is mentioned in Sonic Frontiers

Vector and Eggman have false Super Forms in Otherworld Comedy, Vectorman and Super Eggman/Light-Man

Hyper Sonic and the Super Emeralds:

According to Christian Whitehead, Hyper Sonic and the Super Emeralds are canon, but Sonic Team doesn't want them to come back

"I think you can say it happened. Visually the appearance of the Chaos Emeralds changed to a diamond shape in S3K and have remained so in subsequent games. But lore wise ST don't want to deal with multi-tier power level stuff so everything is just 'Super' now."

Sonic Frontiers doesn't break this rule because Sonic's form, Super Sonic 2 was a file name, the official name is Starfall Super Sonic

The Super Emeralds are also stated to currently be in another dimension

Sonic Chronicles: Sonic Team is allowed to acknowledge the game, they just can't make it canon because they don't wanna deal with Ken Penders, which is why it's still mentioned in the Encyclospeedia

Multiverse:

Sonic is not allowed to have alternate counterparts of himself, interestingly, the mandate has nothing to do with Scourge or Ken Penders

The Sol Dimension is no longer parallel to Sonic's Dimension, Blaze and Marine are also not alternate versions of Sonic and Tails

According to Nibroc Rock, universes where dead characters are alive are not allowed to exist, which is why Infinite couldn't be playable in Sonic Speed Simulator

"I asked Takashi Iizuka and he told me that we can not use infinite in this game because he already died in Sonic forces"

"you would also think that means we can just say "oh here's a universe where this character is still alive" but that's not allowed either"

Sonic Canon itself:

Confirmed Canon Status:

Majority of games

IDW Comics

Sonic Prime

Sonic Dream Team

Sonic Channel

TailsTube

Tie-in Meida

Weird Canon Status:

TMOSTH: Evan Stanley on Tumblr has stated the game is in headcanon status, the game if officially non canon but there's nothing contradicting it from being canon

"Also, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is not considered canon so it doesn't have a concrete place on the timeline. My personal headcanon is that a very similar event has happened sometime during the comic's run, thus why Tails can make his reference and why we keep seeing Barry/the Conductor/his wife cameos."

Sonic Speed Simulator: According to Nibroc Rock, the game is in temporary non canon status, the game is non canon until Takashi Iizuka can find a way to make it canon

"the workaround is just that our game is a hub for cross-universe, everything has to use ring portals to transfer in and out from other universes" "a bit flimsy"

"I mean, the story is always approved by SEGA and they have us re-wrirte things if there's a conflict with canon... so"

Sonic Speed Battle: In the same boat as Speed Simulator

the Sonic Forces mobile game gets away with it because they are all "phantom illusions"

Non Canon Status:

Crossover Media

Sonic Pocket Adventure

Sonic Chronicles

Most Mobile games

Sonic Lost World's Zelda and Yoshi's Island levels

Sonic Rumble

Most Arcade Games

Sonic Twitter Takeovers

Sonic and Friends

90s Cartoons

Sonic OVA

Comics that aren't IDW

Sonic X

Sonic Boom

Manga

Movies

Notes:

Eggman Nega's portal technology is the same one he uses in Winter Games DS

The Sonic Channel still brings up Cream being an assistant for the Olympics

LEGO versions of Sonic, Tails, Amy and Eggman along with Red and Chuck from the Angry Birds Movies appear in Speed Battle

Character Specific:

Classic Sonic: Classic Era characters aren't allowed to appear in Modern Era and vice versa, during the 2010s we had the Two Dimensions retcon that separated them, however TailsTube has since removed them, however this mandate might be removed soon due to the failure of Sonic Superstars along with:

Classic Froggy appearing in Channel Artwork

Classic characters being mentioned in TailsTube along with a Modern Trip being teased

Knuckles Chaotix being recanonized

Modern versions of Mighty, Ray and Metal Knuckles appearing in the Minecraft DLC

Sonic:

Sonic cannot cry or get too emotional, however Sonic Prime breaks this rule

Sonic originally had a house in South Island, later another one in Emerald Town, however it's been retconned that he's homeless

Metal Sonic:

Only one Metal Sonic is allowed to exist, (3.0 is a separate character)

Metal can only speak in this Neo Metal forms (He stills speaks in his base form in Sonic x Shadow Gens however this is only because they didn't bother changing the NPC dialogue)

Knuckles:

Knuckles is the last Echidna

Originally Knuckles had friends on Angel Island, we even see houses in Sonic Adventure's Ice Cap, however this was retconned as Knuckles is the only resident of Angel Island now besides Chao and Critters

Knuckles is not allowed to leave Angel Island without a reason now

Shadow: He has the most guidelines out of any character, this is because Takashi Iizuka co-created him, he also wrote Shadow 05, however some of these have been eased up a bit

Shadow's past isn't allowed to be mentioned

Shadow is an Anti-Hero and cannot be a Hero

"Vegeta really starts out as an enemy and then later becomes a friend and an ally and kind of, like, fights for justice and trying to save the world and whatnot. Shadow is not like that. I never want him to be like that. Shadow is doing his own thing, he's not friends with Sonic, and he's gonna go off and, you know, do whatever he feels is correct or right, or what he needs to do. And it's not like, 'Well, okay, we used to be enemies, but we're friends now. Let's save the world.' He's not that kind of character, and [I don't] want him to be that kind of character."

Shadow's job isn't a GUN Agent anymore, his only job should be protecting the planet

Shadow is allowed to work with Sonic, Team Dark, GUN and even Eggman but he isn't allowed to fully join them

Team Dark can be close but they can't be friends

If the relationship between Shadow and Rouge could be summed up in a few words… it would be “good business partners.” They have a reasonably long relationship, as they sometimes undertake missions at the same scene. However, they do not interfere with each other much and do not go beyond a certain level. At first glance, the relationship seems businesslike, but there appears to be a strong mutual trust that goes beyond mere colleagues, as they casually help each other out when they are in a pinch!

Silver: Silver's future is off limits, only Sonic Team can explore that if they choose to, however we do see it in IDW 31

Fang:

Name: His US name was Nack the Weasel, his JP name was Fang the Sniper, his current name is Fang the Hunter

Species: He was a Weasel in US and a Wolf Jerboa hybrid in JP, his current species is just Jerboa

Non Sonic Team Characters: Honey the Cat and the ghosts from Night of the Werehog have a hard time appearing in the series due to them not being owned by Sonic Team, however it's not impossible for them to appear

Gizoids: Emerl and by extension, Gemerl, are the only Gizoids allowed to exist

Exception: While non canon, the Minecraft Sonic Texture Pack turns the Zombie, Drowned and Husk Mobs into custom made Gizoids (Green for Zombie, Gold for Husk and Brown and torn ones for Drowned)

Infinite: The Encyclospeedia stated he got consumed by the Phantom Ruby, Takashi Iizuka would later state Infinite is dead and cannot come back, he returns in Otherworld Comedy and dies again

The elimination of otherworldification occurs in Infinite, and his body disappears with the light. The core in his hand slips through and falls into the glimmering lava… with a sizzling sound, it is lost to the world forever. Infinite was wide-eyed and stunned, but… “H-Heheh, haha…” He smiled wryly, lightly shaking his head, as if to say that it was for the best, and then vanished with the light. The world has been saved once again by a strange fate that no one had any way of knowing. The wind was merely blowing in the sky.

Off Limit Characters: Only Sonic Team can use these characters

Tiara Boobowski and Gazebo Boobowski (Though Gazebo appears in the 30th Anniversary Comic)

Eggman Nega

Black Doom

Solaris (Iblis and Mephiles)

Sonic Movies: The Movies get the most synergy due being the main media being used to get new people into Sonic

Sonic having electricity powers now

Movie Characters in Speed Battle

Tom and Longclaw as skins in the Minecraft DLC

Movie Stage in Shadow Generations

[muses-of-the-memory]

The two Super Sonics then began to use their ability to go fast and make it to the Time Eater while the two Eggmen tried to use the homing shoots.

Modern Super Sonic then charged into the core of the Time Eater doing damage. "All right!" Vector shouted. "Don't let your guard down!" Espio said as the Time Eater shifted through dimensions. "That creature has shifted through dimensions." Shahra said.

"Please go after the bad guy." Cream pleaded as Classic Sonic goes after the Time Eater in the side-scrolling dimension to charge into the Time Eater's core as he got close. "Get a load of this!" Classic Eggman shouted having the Time Eater send out an warping arm attack, but the Sonics manage to dodge.

“Sonic!” Hikari clapped happily as she ran up to him

"Hey Hikari!" Sonic said hugging back Hikari when he saw her coming up to hug him. "Long time no see."

Super forms /// Chaos energy

My theory is that every mobian has some amount of chaos energy within them, characters with a higher level of it can develop special powers and the ability to become super while mobians with the energy level higher then most but not enough to transform are gifted with other smaller abilities

So instead of the “only male hedgehogs can have a super form” rule it would be “only mobians with a high chaos energy affinity can transform” since limiting it only for the gender of a certain species is stupid, but I also know they can’t give it away freely because it would become too common and less special

So going off of it, it would make sense since Shadow is literally overflowing with chaos energy and has to wear inhibitor rings to limit it, Sonic is naturally gifted and has a bond with the emeralds, Silver has mind powers so assuming they developed BECAUSE of his high chaos energy would also check out with this theory, same goes with Blaze’s powers (and Sonic’s speed) plus her being the guardian of the sol emeralds and having a strong bond with them, idk much about Trip but seeing as her super form is a dragon she probably also has a lot of chaos energy stored in her

As for characters like Amy and Knuckles who have a higher amount of chaos energy then most but not enough to transform, are gifted with an ability similiar to a radar, with Knuckles being the guardian of the M.E and having a strong bond with it he can sense it and it’s shards, as well as chaos controls, chaos emeralds, sol emeralds, and fake emeralds

/// Don’t wanna get too deep into his abilities because someone already made a post about that and I don’t wanna copy/steal their work, I reblogged it tho so you can read it for yourself, their user is @aphantimes in case you can’t find it ///

and Amy having her “girlish intuition” or a “Sonic radar” as she calls it, can sense other people’s aura (or chaos signatures)

/// Essentially what I’m trying to say is that only characters with powers can access the super forms

Characters with high chaos energy that don’t have powers are granted some sort of a sixth sense ///

I don’t see Amy’s and Knuckles’s strength as power, rather it’s just something they achieved through hard training

As for Espio’s invisibility, that just comes with his species like real life’s chameleons camouflage, Vector’s fire breathing hasn’t been brought up outside of Sonic Heroes and Sonic X so idk if he still can do it but he has his powerful scream that is still being used in the IDW comics and to that I say he’s just built different

Also, I’m not sure if that means that Surge and Kit could technically have a super form since idk if their powers are artificial or not (and yeah I know that Shadow is man made but they used chaos drives to create him so his powers developed on their own)

I know most Sonic fans would want other characters to have super forms but for me it makes perfect sense why they are limited for those specific few

Sorry if this rant is not coherent enough it’s really hard for me to write my thoughts 😭😭

(Btw I just realized that the colors of the emeralds are the same as the chakra colors, except the white one, it would be fun if they were perfectly aligned tho)

Stars & Staffs: What the Heck, Guys

So. The staffs. The staffs.

Prior to this, we held the belief that the Staff of Ziard was made specifically for dark magic. I made a meme about it once (why yes, I do think I'm funny):

Now... that could still be the case. The Aaravos/Sauron parallels have always been off the charts, so "the dark lord forged in secret a master ring, and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life" is still a definite possibility.

Aaravos also has a strong thread in his plans to bring about the stars' downfall through a vector they had overlooked—humans—and with warped mirrors of their creations—himself, characterized as "their dark brother," and possibly dark magic, itself.

—Ripples

—Patience

So yeah, still strong possibility that the Staff of Ziard is Aaravos's creation for humans, a mockery of their works delivered with irony.

However, the other possibility—that the Staff of Ziard is one of a set conceived for some magical purpose—is super interesting, because it's actually not strictly a dark magic staff in the way that Ibis's staff is a Sky magic staff or the Sunforge staff is a Sun magic staff.

Staffs for primal magic are pretty explicitly sources of power and focus for the mage. The Sunforge staff contains a small Sun primal stone, Ibis's staff appears to similarly contain a Sky primal stone—it's not clear whether these primal stones are powerful enough to be used on their own by a non-mage, but the corrupted Sunforge staff is at least powerful enough for Claudia to use it easily and immediately.

We also have Karim's staff, which doesn't have a visible stone and appears to be somewhat less powerful, acting more as a channel to focus his magic than a source for it. While we see a lot of rune spells cast using staffs, we also see several spells cast with staffs apparently instead of runes.

Most staffs are probably a lot more similar to that, because like... the Sunforge staff is obviously incredibly powerful, being linked directly to the Sun nexus and wielded by former Sunfire monarchs. Ibis's staff also tracks as a powerful artifact—I would not be surprised if Ibis was an archmage of Sky, or equivalent to one in power. Ibis even uses his staff for some rather complex magic—picking up objects, aiming, and launching them at Claudia—without a rune or a spoken draconic incantation.

The Staff of Ziard, on the other hand... it's not actually a dark magic staff in the same way. Instead of itself being a source of magic or using the mage's own connection to a primal source the way primal staffs do, the Staff of Ziard is all about siphoning away the essence of living creatures, whether that's primal magic or souls. Being able to then empower or release that essence seems to potentially be a matter of knowledge—Viren doesn't do it until Aaravos has basically taken over his subconscious, and the only other person we see do it is Ziard himself, draining the sunbirds directly into a corrupted fire capable of burning an Archdragon of the Sun.

Conceptually, siphoning essence to cast spells is very in tune with dark magic... but not exclusive to it. "Magic that takes," as Aditi describes it, apparently exists in several forms.

Additionally, like I said, Viren literally never uses the staff for any magic that isn't unique to it until mid-late s3.

All the dark magic spells he does before then, except for the ones that are explicitly done with the staff alone, he does without it.

(Yes, there's whatever he does to hold Thunder immobile, but that has always been a weird outlier we don't fully understand. We don't know whether it's a spell from the staff—unlikely, given that it doesn't involve or affect the central stone—or a reagent-powered dark magic spell he cast while the camera was focused on Thunder and Harrow.)

So what is the deal with these?

We know that the Celestial elves are guardians of artifacts related to Star magic, Startouch elves, and presumably the Stars/First Elves in general. So the staffs could just be being stored. They do have nice little display niches. What's kind of weird is that first of all, they're apparently powered up in some way, given the glow of their stones. Secondly, they're in full "open" configuration—the way Claudia uses the Staff of Ziard when opening the chrysalis.

Like the soul-trapping spell that is one of the staff's specialties, the chrysalis spell uses a dark magic incantation (rather than the Draconic-based deep magic or corrupted Sun magic spells). It's described as channeling the power of the "sun's first light," and what it does is, I'm fairly convinced, imbue the being inside the chrysalis with essence—on some level giving it consciousness or a soul.

So what if all the staffs work that way, but for different facets of energy or magic or whatever? Why create something like that, whether for the sorts of energy corresponding with primal sources, or for souls and consciousness? Why would Startouch elves need staffs, if they're so absurdly powerful?

Theory one: let's get the least likely one out of the way first. As a whole, the staffs are components of a machine-like spell or group ritual that maintains the flow of primal and other magic through the world. Yes, this is about my theory that the Starscraper is a kind of world-pillar or bridge that funnels magic to Xadia from elsewhere, and yes, I am a big fan of Pillars of Eternity. There's not really a lot of evidence for this, aside from the different stone colors and the arrangement and kind of strange location of the stored staffs. Like, what is up with this?

Theory two: we know the First Elves in some way divided into at least the five other kinds of primal elves. Could the staffs have been somehow related to that, intentionally consolidating and focusing the First Elves' magical nature into separate forms? Again, there's not really any evidence for this beyond that staffs are meant to be carried and used by people, and the theory that the First Elves may have consciously taken on becoming the different primal elves.

Theory three: this is the forbidden magic that was given to humans, not primal stones. We have two sources for the "Leola gifted primal magic/stones to humans" story, and each of them contributes different things—the one that specifies primal stones doesn't mention Leola by name, attributing the gift to unicorns as a whole, while the one that specifies Leola doesn't mention the primal stones, instead specifying that she provided them with the runes and Draconic words for spells. If the staffs are like the Staff of Ziard but for other energies, including primal sources—if they're all "magic that takes," it would make a lot more sense why the stars got so fussed about humans having it. There isn't really any more evidence for this than for my other theories, but shut up I like this one. It would be the chef's kiss Uno-Reverse cap on the entire mangled and obscured story of the history of human magic.

Anyway, my insane TED Talk aside, what in all heck is going on, because every time I think I've gotten this shit kind of figured out, they do this kind of curve ball.

[blueikeproductions]

I’m curious about that too.

Currently Hot Rod is camped out in Void Rivals.

The latest revelations depicts Darak and Solila’s species as being related to Transformers, and that Hot Rod and Springer are looking into an old Autobot legend connected to the organic cyborg’s home planet the Sacred Ring. The artificial planet and its people are connected to a mysterious Transformer called Zerta Trion, a robot so controversial among Quintessons, she’s considered “The Unspoken One”.

Zerta Trion is attempting to bring her own children together, not unlike Primus needing the Autobots and Decepticons to cooperate against Unicron, with Solila as the one to help do it in particular. However unity among the Sacred Ring is considered taboo, its two leaders creativity division to prevent it, fearing the destruction of their people.

What that entails exactly is unclear atm, but when Darak and Solila did briefly connect, this happened.

A giant robot slumbering in the Sacred Ring’s black hole briefly awoke. It’s confirmed not to be Unicron, although to be honest, I would think the lack of a planet mode and trademark horns would be the tip off it’s not… Presumably this is Goliant, the aliens’ word for the end should unity happen. My current guess is Goliant may be Zerta Trion herself, or at least something related to her also.

The current arc also refers to a Vector Theta, though as of typing we don’t know what that is yet. Similar to Zerta Trion’s connection to Alpha Trion, clearly Vector Theta is related to Vector Sigma, the life giving super computer from the original cartoon. Besides Alpha Trion giving up his life to merge with Sigma to create the Aerialbots, Optimus would have a connection to it as well in the cartoon and other media, with Japanese media seeing him merge with it as well to stop a catastrophic meltdown that would destroy Cybertron, once again trusting Rodimus Prime to be his successor.

So how does this connect to Hot Rod?

My current assumption is a splitting of the difference, similar to Superlink and Animated. Rodimus will appear alongside Optimus but there’s a catch to it.

You can’t really pass on the Matrix atm due to the connection is has with Sparkplug and Optimus. Sparkplug’s sacrifice and his own wisdom passed on to the Matrix to guide Optimus while he’s on Earth doesn’t really jive if Hot Rod gets it at this stage.

So instead I think he becomes Rodimus at some point in Void Rivals.

But it’s tricky.

The current Hasbro story is Alpha Trion is one of the legendary Primes, but Skybound has been a bit dodgy about using Quintus and co, instead sticking to a version based more on the 80’s cartoon history with the Quintessons as the creators.

The Trion moniker in Skybound has only been bestowed to two Transformers, Zerta and Alpha, with Trion referring to someone with great wisdom. It’s unclear if Alpha Trion and Zerta Trion are Primes here, though because The Fallen was referenced, it’s possible Alpha is, but because of Hasbro’s continued waffling on Primes, Zerta will either be the 13th Prime and/or Alpha Trion’s ambitious (non-Prime) twin sister.

My point being is Hot Rod gets inducted into the fold, meeting up with Springer and Darak, and shenanigans ensue that sees Hot Rod evolve into Rodimus Trion to help Darak and Solila lead a new age or some such.

This isn’t new territory for Hot Rod either.

ReGen One would see Hot Rod unify the Transformers with their demonoid ancestors.

And on his final days, after all the original Transformers died out, Rodimus Prime’s Matrix energy would see the Demons evolve into the Maximals and Predacons.

In Japanese media, Rodimus Prime would embark on a journey to find a new home planet for the Transformers, after Scorponok rendered Cybertron uninhabitable for the time being. A manga would further depict a now Micromaster Hot Rod founding Planet Micro alongside other early Micromasters.

In Superlink, Rodimus would found a breakaway faction of war weary Autobots and Decepticons that escaped the Great War during the Armada era to found colony worlds so these Transformers could live in peace. This also saw the evolution of the Omnicon species from these refugees.

So Skybound Hot Rod helping the Zertonians and Agorrians and become Rodimus Trion/Theta/Goliant doesn’t feel like a stretch to me. Coupled with DWJ liking both Hot Rod and Cobra-La, I think he’s in safe hands so far. At least I hope he doesn’t become a depressed drunk or be stuck in a coma.

So this project is continuing to be complex and detailed, but I'm having a good time. If you haven't seen my original post, this is an image that I pulled from the book of Kells on folio 27v. The full page contains four figures: the man, the lion, the ox, and the eagle. The four figures represent the four gospels. This figure is the eagle, and it represents the book of John, St. John the Evangelist and the ascension of Christ into heaven. I am not religious (though I was raised Irish Catholic), so I picked this design because I love the art in medieval manuscripts and in the Book of Kells specifically.

So, how'd I get here? (an extremely detailed step-by-step)

Downloaded the full size image of Folio 27v

Cut St. John out of the image using the pen tool in Photoshop and moved it to a new document with a clear background.

Pasted St. John into a blank high res procreate document.

Did a rough digital tracing of the image in procreate with my iPad and Apple Pencil.

Opened tracing in Illustrator and made it into a vector. Took forever because I fucked up my procreate settings RIP.

Turned Vector into live paint object.

Opened original image in PS, and used eyedropper tool to select colors in original document. Compared those colors to the colors that I had in my stash (wanted to use mostly if not all from my stash rather than buying new floss).

Used threadcolors.com to get the hex codes for the selected threads. Made a spreadsheet of the selected colors for my reference. Printed out spreadsheet.

Colored the image using the paint bucket tool (and recolor artwork options) with the colors corresponding to selected threads. Saved Illustrator document.

Opened illustrator document in PS, gave it a solid white background and exported it as PDF.

Printed out initial copy of PDF image on blank printer paper to see if it was the right size. It wasn’t lol, so I made it bigger (super easy with vector images!) Printed test copy #2 and it was the right size.

Iron chosen fabric and stretch in Phillips head screw tightened hoop.

Printed the PDF image on Sulky Fabri-solvy, cut to size, and adhere to the surface of the stretched fabric.

Stitch, all single stranded….

 

What's new?

Since the last time I posted, I've mostly completed the head. It's comprised of a mixture of satin stitches, long and short stitches, chain stitches, and some other stitch I can't remember the name of. The other new feature is very, very, tiny orange and red glass beads.

When I was considering how I wanted to render the dots in the circle behind the head and the three tears of blood, I initially considered doing french knots for the dots and bullion knots for the blood tears. To make a decision about this, I did some tests on scrap fabric. At the end of the test stitching I found that I was not completely satisfied with what I had come up with. As I stared at it, I was hit with the sudden vision of using seed beads of some kind for these two areas. This idea completely possessed me (lol), and I made a trip to my delightful local beading store the next day, hoop in hand.

The old ladies who run the bead store helpfully showed me to a bunch of interesting beads and got me all set up with them. I also purchased some size 11 beading needles, which are barely large enough to stick a single strand of embroidery floss through. At the time, I didn't know whether or not the embroidery floss would even go through the needle or the beads, so I purchased some tiny beading thread, but ended up not needing it. The eyes of those needles are SO tiny that they were extremely difficult to thread, but I managed it eventually. They were also, interesting very, very bendy. I ended up liking the stitching experience with them so much I continued using them to stitch other, non-beaded sections of the piece.

The other consideration that I had to make while putting this section together was whether or not I wanted to render that yellow ring around the head in golden yellow thread or gold, gold metallic thread, as in the original image that section appears to potentially be illuminated with gold leaf. However, my hatred of metallic thread (Satan's embroidery supply) won in the end so I went with the gold yellow thread, leaving the crosses as the only metallic gold element. I don't know that I'll end up using any other metallic gold, but I obviously can't rule it out.

Anyhow, looking forward to continuing this project and to what new challenges I'll end up having to figure out as it goes along.

first little oc canon universe infodump thingy, with centaur tack and equipment... tldr autism went mad with horse stuff weeehooo

as a big ol' horsey fan the first thing i thought of was "what kind of tack and equipment would they have?" and here i am, with our first two showing a traditional English and Western set up based of irl styles and brands. I altered some of the terms since the "bridle" does onto the torso and not the head, so browbands and nosebands are swapped to chestbands and waistbands but the overall structure and namesake is the same. just kind of like a bridle crossed with a camera harness used by filmographers. Bits work the same with instead sitting as a joint with the cheekpeice and reins instead of a bar across the mouth. Their strength and specialities is much the same as in our world. anyway here is a annoyingly specific description of their shit which i shall painfully list here for my own autistic amusement. Also noted thank uuu to MlleNugget for the help with western tack accuracy as i have limited experience with them irl and they super-helped make my design logical!!

Part 2 (2020-2024)

[thefakehedgehogaroundhere]

folds hands neatly.

let's talk about lanolin

shuffles through my many lanolin files in my brain trying to figure out which one i want to ramble about UHHH SHIT OK

SO! i'd wager she could end up in speed battle and dash at some time within the next like... maybe two years ish? not super soon but with surge being added fairly recently, the valhalla surge skin, and with lano's teammates being in the game since 2023 (i think??? i don't remember when tangle and whisper were added) i don't think we're too far off from more idw characters being brought into the mobile games.

now, as for her abilities: i tend to automatically group characters into heroes style teams, and use whatever fits best between speed flight and power as a general basis when i think of movesets for characters. for the diamond cutters, it's tangle speed, whisper flight, and lano power. this is also reflected in the mobile games, with the wispon allowing for hovering, and all of tangle's abilities speeding her up and slowing others down. so yes, she's power to me.

on top of this, her bell wispon isn't nearly as flexible as whisper's variable one, seeing as she only has maggie while whisper carries five. however, maggie is a rhythm wisp, allowing for something with a music theme like what we have for popstar amy, dj vector, rockstar rouge, idol shadow, drummer cream, bassist blaze, and punk zazz. yes i looked through them all- i needed inspiration on what sort of thing would fit lano best.

finally, hand to hand combat. a lot of characters in speed battle use weapons, but a bunch also just use their own raw power. for lanolin, i'd say this would be something that real life sheep do- like headbutting (something she actually did in one issue, to knock tangle out of the way of one of eggman's traps). i don't think this would take damage, but maybe more like tangle's abilities taking other players' speed.

with all this in mind: here are my takes on lano in speed battle.

STATS:

speed - 5/10 ; acceleration - 7/10 ; strength - 9/10

ABILITIES:

rim shot - firing a bolt from the bell wispon, stunning anyone in its path and collecting rings

explosive mine - this is literally the same one a bunch of characters have. she yoinked it from knuckles

stampede - boosts lano down the track headfirst and takes the speed of anyone you run into

yes i know you probably wanted character discussion but!! you get speed battle ramble!!!

Game Idea: Mario & Sonic Party

(Part 2 so you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom if you've read this already) (3 as well)

Story: Bowser and Eggman team up and use a machine to combine their two worlds so they can use the resulting chaos to take over. To stop them, the heroes of both worlds team up to collect Emerald Stars (Power Stars that have been infused with Chaos Energy due to the dimensions colliding) that are appearing in seven different locations, so that they can summon the Chaos Emeralds and use their power to fix everything.

Each Board is a combination of a Mario Series location and a Sonic Series location (or a location from one series and level theme from another, or themes from both), and their Emerald Stars are the same color as the Chaos Emerald that gets collected on that board in Story Mode. Also, each board has a Mario Series Host and a Sonic Series Host. Bowser and Eggman are physically on the Board to cause trouble, either through Board Events or interfering with star collection in some way, and Kamek and Sage are the ones manning the Bowser and Eggman spaces.

We're also bringing back the function of the DK spaces from the Gamecube era, particularly the MP5 version with an Event Roulette, but using Rosalina and Silver.

Coins and Rings are separate currencies because I couldn't find a good way to combine them. For boards with standard roaming Star Spaces, Stars can be bought for either 20 Coins, 20 Rings, or 15 of each. Blue and Red Spaces can give and take either 3 Coins or 3 Rings based on a coin flip, but on the last 5 turns give and take 6 Coins and 6 Rings.

Mario-Related facilities, items and events affect the Coin count, while Sonic-based ones affect the Ring count. Because of that, there's two each of the usual passing spaces:

The Item Shops are run by Toadette and Charmy

There's the Koopa Bank and the Orbank (run by Orbot of course)

Cubot is the Sonic equivalent to Boo. (in terms of how their space works. I am aware that the Sonic Series has their own version of Boos, I just wanted to use Cubot).

I'm also bringing back Team Match, complete with team names for each combination, partly because forcing Omega and Metal Sonic to work together in a casual party game amuses me. And character-specific taunts.

CPUs can be set to Easy, Normal, Hard, Master, and the unlockable Super Difficulty. Super is unlocked by completing a match on every Board in Party Mode at least once. This includes the secret eighth Board you unlock by beating Story Mode, so that's technically also a requirement.

Playable Characters

Mario Luigi Peach Yoshi Wario Donkey Kong Daisy Waluigi Birdo Bowser Jr. (Not selectable in Story Mode due to being an enemy CPU) Ashley (Unlocked by completing Story Mode. Not selectable in Story Mode because she's an important NPC in it) Petey Piranha (Unlocked by putting 100 Stars in the Star Bank. Playable in Story Mode)

Sonic Tails Amy Knuckles Shadow Vector Cream & Cheese (Cheese does not affect gameplay) Espio Rouge Metal Sonic (Not selectable in Story Mode due to being an enemy CPU) Blaze (Unlocked by completing Story Mode. Not selectable in Story Mode because she's an important NPC in it) Omega (Unlocked by putting 100 Stars in the Star Bank. Playable in Story Mode)

Boards

Goomba Hill Zone Hosts: Captain Toad and Vanilla Emerald Star Color: Green A combination of the standard first level grassland theme from both games. Hills with eyes and loops, brick blocks and palm trees, Goombas and Badniks, you know the drill. A linear board with a stationary Star Space at the end. There are Board Events that can affect the price of the star, how many stars can be bought at a time, and move Players forward or backward along the path.

Labyrinth Bay Hosts: Marine and Captain Syrup Emerald Star Color: Blue Labyrinth Zone got dumped into a 2D Mario water level and now everyone can breathe down there just fine and the place is full of aquatic Mario enemies. Lots and lots of branching paths.

Soleanna-Delfino Crossing Hosts: Elise and the Hotel Manager Emerald Star Color: Cyan The Kingdom of Soleanna and Isle Delfino got merged, and the board takes place in the canals and winding streets of their mixed-up capital cities.

Diamond Casino Hosts: Mona and Gemerl Emerald Star Color: Purple One of those Zones made up of giant pinball table elements and gambling machines appeared in Diamond City and Wario saw a moneymaking opportunity, so now it's all WarioWare Themed and Rigged as Hell. There are no Star Spaces, instead you earn Stars by gambling in the Board Events.

Shrine Jungle Hosts: Diddy Kong and Tikal. Emerald Star Color: Red Angel Island and DK Isle got combined and Cranky Can and Will complain about it. Goes in a rough figure 8 around DK's Treehouse and the Master Emerald Shrine, with a permanent Star Space directly in front of each landmark. Diddy's Star Space only accepts Coins, while Tikal's only accepts Rings.

PaperCraft Camelot Hosts: Merlon and Merlina Emerald Star Color: White The version of Camelot from Sonic and the Black Knight got put into the Paper Mario Universe's book, and is now available in Pop-Up form in Peach's Library.

BowsEgg Battle Cruiser Hosts: Bowser and Eggman Emerald Star Color: Yellow A Warship that combines elements from the Koopa Troop's Airships and the Egg Carrier. Nearly every Event on this Board has a negative effect.

Dimensional Collision Zone (Unlocked by completing Story Mode) Hosts: Polari and Yacker Uses special Vortex Stars instead of Emerald Stars. This is purely cosmetic and only there for story reasons. Consists of the Comet Observatory and debris from the Death Egg floating in a swirling vortex between the two worlds, with the Death Egg itself visible in the background with a big chunk blown out of it. Created when Bowser and Eggman overloaded their machine while trying to keep the heroes from stopping it.

Story Mode

Since I've already explained what the story is, I'll just stick to the mechanics.

This time, Story Mode allows up to two players, who will be on a team together. The Player team must pick one Mario Character and one Sonic Character, while the Enemy team is always Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic. They play a standard 20 Turn Team Match on modified versions of each board, and if they beat the Villain team they play a Boss Minigame related to the board's modification to earn that Board's Chaos Emerald. Or just to beat Bowser and Eggman, in the case of the final Board. Goomba Hill Zone is always the first Board, BowsEgg Battle Cruiser the penultimate, and Dimensional Collision Zone the final, while the other five are played in a random order.

Also, BowsEgg Battle Cruiser doesn't get modified because it's already enemy territory, and Dimensional Collision Zone doesn't get modified because it's designed for story mode already.

Spaces

Landing Space

Blue: Gives 3 Coins or 3 Rings. On the last 5 Turns, gives 6 Coins and 6 Rings.

Red: Takes 3 Coins or 3 Rings. On the last 5 Turns, takes 6 Coins and 6 Rings.

Happening: Causes context-specific events depending on where it is. Randomizes Space Color during Minigame Category Selection.

Item: Initiates an Item Minigame. Every Board has two unique Item Minigames, each run by one of the Board Hosts. Randomizes Space Color during Minigame Selection.

Chance Time: Initiates the Chance Time Event. It works exactly how it does in Mario Party Superstars, except now there's Rings added into the mix. Counts as a Blue Space for Minigame Selection.

Duel: The landing Player is asked by a Shy Guy riding a Motobug to choose which of the other three Players to duel (random is an option, declining is not), and then hits a Roulette Block to decide whether they’ll be dueling for Coins, Rings, both, or Stars, as well as the amount of Coins and/or Rings (Players can only play for one Star each). If both Players have no Stars, Stars cannot be selected on the Roulette. If one player has no Stars they must bet: >40 Coins >40 Rings >20 Coins and 20 Rings >20 of one currency plus however many are needed to compensate for the other (so if they have 30 Coins and 17 Rings they have to bet all their Rings and 23 Coins) >All their Coins and Rings depending on what they can afford. If they have 40 or more of both currency, it's decided at random which of the two gets used. Then the Duel Minigame is initiated. Randomizes Space Color during Minigame Category Selection.

Coin Battle: The Mario Series Board Host collects coins from all Players, with the amount determined by the landing player hitting a Roulette Block, and initiates a Battle Minigame. Randomizes Space Color during Minigame Selection.

Ring Battle: Same as the above, but run by the Sonic Host and uses rings instead of coins. Also, Battle Minigames can randomly take the place of 4-Player minigames during normal Minigame Category Selection, and when that happens it's random whether they're for Coins, Rings, or both. The end-of-turn Battle Minigames can be turned off when setting the parameters of the Party.

Bowser: Kamek appears and chooses a Bowser Event from a Roulette, usually with negative effects for whoever landed there. Any currency-based events only affect Coins. In Story Mode, he instead steals 20 Coins from the Player team or gives 20 coins to the Villain team if one of them lands there. Counts as a Red Space for Minigame Selection.

Eggman: The same as above, but using Sage, Eggman Events, and Rings.

Rosalina: Rosalina appears and chooses a Rosalina Event from a Roulette, usually with positive effects for whoever landed there. Currency-related Events only affect Coins. In Story Mode, she gives 20 Coins to the Player team or takes 20 Coins from the Villain team, depending on who lands there. Counts as a Blue Space for Minigame Selection.

Silver: Same as above, but using Silver, Silver Events, and Rings.

Thrown Item: Modified versions of Blue and Red Spaces created when a Player chooses to put a Throwable Item there. The Space will now initiate the effect of whichever Item was thrown, in addition to its original properties. Depending on the nature of the Thrown Item, the Space will either return to normal after the effect is initiated or will be permanently altered until overwritten with another Thrown Item.

Chaos Control: Shuffles the positions of all Players. Counts as a Red Space during Minigame Selection.

Lucky: Initiates a Roulette that can give a set number of Coins or Rings, a useful item, or a Board-specific perk that makes getting the Player's next star easier. Counts as a Blue Space for Minigame Selection.

Koopa Bank: Every player who passes the Space gives 5 Coins to the Koopa Troopa, and whoever lands on the Space gets all the Coins the bank has accumulated. Randomizes Space Color for Minigame Selection.

Orbank: Same as above, but Orbot runs it and only accepts Rings.

Passing Space These can't be landed on and don't count towards number of Spaces walked, but still require some sort of interaction.

Star Space: Any player who passes has the option to buy an Emerald Star (Vortex Star on Dimensional Collision Zone) from one of the Board Hosts for 20 Coins, 20 Rings, or 15 of each, after which the Star will move to another of several specific spaces, replacing a Blue Space. The Hosts alternate every time a Star is sold, with the Mario Host going first. Star Spaces work differently on Goomba Hill Zone and Shrine Jungle (explained in the Boards section), and don't exist at all on Diamond Casino. Some Boards have Events that affect the price of Stars, number of Stars that can be bought at a time, or number of active Star Spaces.

Toadette's Shop: Allows the Player to purchase one of the three displayed Items. Which Items are available and what price they are is somewhat random, but strongly influenced by both which turn it is and where the Player currently is in the rankings. Toadette only carries Dice Blocks and Mario Series Items, and only accepts Coins.

Charmy's Shop: Same as above, but Charmy only carries Dice Blocks and Sonic Series Items and only accepts Rings.

Item Dispenser: Gives the Player one random item when they pass over it, assuming they have space in their inventory.

Boo: Any Player who passes has the chance to have Boo steal either Coins or a Star from another Player, with Random as an option. Stealing Coins is free and the targeted Player can mash "A" to struggle, with Boo able to steal a maximum of 30 Coins. Stealing a Star costs 30 Coins.

Cubot: Same as above, but for Rings instead of Coins.

Junction: Requires the Player to choose which branching path to follow. The shortest path to a Star Space is always chosen by default. Some Junctions may have a path blocked off until certain conditions are met.

Event Arrow: Context-sensitive, just like Happening Spaces.

Rocky Wrench and Egg Pawn's Shops: Exclusive to BowsEgg Battle Cruiser, and replace the real shops for a maximum of three turns as the result of a Board Event. Forces the Player to buy a special item with a negative effect (which I haven't come up with yet) for 15 Coins at Rocky Wrench's and 15 Rings at Egg Pawn's.

Bowser Events

Disappearing Coin Trick: Kamek steals 10, 20, or 30 Coins from the Player based on a Roulette.

Incredible Disappearing Coins!: Same as above, but affects all Players.

Bowser Minigame: Initiates one of the three Bowser Minigames.

Bowser Revolution!: Splits all Players' Coins equally.

Get 100 Gems!: The Player is given 100 Gems...which have absolutely no purpose in gameplay, effectively meaning that no event has occurred. Rouge and Wario have positive reactions to this event despite functionally getting nothing.

Head to the Star!: Kamek uses his magic to send the Player one Space after the Star Space. On Shrine Jungle, this places them one Space after Diddy Kong.

Star Donation: Kamek steals a star from the Player. If they have no Stars, he gives them 10 Coins instead.

Go Away!: Kamek teleports the Player to the Eggman Space.

If the Player has no Coins when they land on the Bowser Space, Kamek will give them 15 Coins out of pity. He will not do this during Story Mode.

Eggman Events

All of them are functionally identical to the Bowser events, but with different names and aesthetics that fit Sage's personality and abilities, and currency-related events involve Rings instead of Coins.

Ring Retrieval

Ring Retrieve: All

Eggman Minigame

Economic Balance

Receive 100 Egg-Credits: Unlike Kamek's version, no-one has a funny reaction to this. (Edit: Actually no, I've decided that Yoshi and Amy have positive reactions to getting Egg-Credits. For Some Reason)

Tele. To: Star Space: On Shrine Jungle, this places the Player one Spece after Tikal.

Star Retrieval

Leave This Place

If the Player has no Rings when they land on the Eggman Space, Sage will give them 15 Coins and wish them luck. She will not do this during Story Mode.

Rosalina Events

Cosmic Bonus: Gives the Player 10, 20, or 30 Coins, based on a Roulette.

Rosalina Minigame: The Player hits a special Dice Block to determine if Star Bits will be worth 1, 3, or 5 Coins, then initiates one of the three Rosalina Minigames.

Cosmic Gift: The Player may open one of three Question Mark Blocks, which contain a Triple Dice, 15 Coins, and a Star.

Launch Star: Sends the Player one Space before the Star Space. On Shrine Jungle, this sends the Player one Space before Diddy Kong.

Silver Events

Like with Kamek and Sage, these are identical to Rosalina's Events, but use Rings instead of Coins and are modified aesthetically to fit Silver.

Temporal Bonus

Silver Minigame: Uses Time Gears instead of Star Bits.

Temporal Gift: Uses Monitors instead of Question Mark Blocks.

Psycho Boost: On Shrine Jungle, this sends the Player one space before Tikal.

Bonus Stars

At the end of each Party, three of these are randomly selected to be given to the Players. This feature can be turned off when setting the Party parameters.

Happening Star: Awarded to the Player who landed on the most Happening Spaces.

Spender Star: Awarded to the Player who spent the most Coins and Rings on Items.

Running Star: Awarded to the Player who moved the most Spaces.

Slow Star: Awarded to the Player who moved the fewest Spaces.

Minigame Star: Awarded to the Player who won the most Minigames.

Item Star: Awarded to the Player who used and/or Threw the most Items.

Hero Star: Awarded to the Player who landed on the Rosalina and Silver Spaces most often.

Villain Star: Awarded to the Player who landed on the Bowser and Eggman Spaces most often.

Chaos Star: Awarded to the Player who landed on the Chaos Control Space most often.

Lucky Star: Awarded to the Player who landed on the Lucky Space most often.

And that's enough for this post. Part 2 will be about Minigame Mode, and will come out when I feel like having it come out.

(Edit: I lied. Not on purpose but I lied. Anyway Part 2 here.) (And 3 here. this one does have minigame mode)

[anonymousbeeblurr]

Do you have any ideas for my MCB OC Spark Heart? He is a popstar that used to be pretty popular back on Machina.

I have many ideas

Spark heart He was very popular for giving amazing shows on Planet Machina, he was very cool and handsome

He has a microphone symbol on his communicator

He has yellow eyes with a very strong color

In his vehicle mode he is a Koenigsegg CCGT with a microphone symbol on the door

on his metal card he wears gold rings on his hands and on his arms

His attacks are super sharp rings that can leave cuts on his opponents

He is not good at fighting, so he avoids fights by protecting himself with a super loud scream when he uses the microphone and he leaves his opponents stunned and this can greatly affect humans, so he did not use it in any battle with humans nearby

friendship relationship:spark bit,flash vector,blue cop,jun grant,anna,theo,buffalo crush and black hook

He has an ability called attraction that only affects cardbots, making them go crazy wanting Spark Heart's autographs

His weaknesses are fire and shots coming from above.

He can lunge to attack the opponent as he has thorns in his hand this will definitely pierce the opponent

He has an oval yellow mark on his forehead and his body colors are blue with black and yellow on his body

His attacks bounce small pink glow that leaves trails of hearts on the ground and he has a heart on his knee and back

As his name says in the Heart part he has a shield that has a mark of hearts as if the love of the heart could protect itself as if it were really the heart

He prefers to stay on the beach because there is a beautiful view and he thinks the sunset is very beautiful

He refuses any offer to join a group as he does not want to abandon his original group even though they have scattered across the land

He only joins temporarily to see if his team is dangerous or safe

He always makes dialogues in his fight to keep his opponent distracted

He can release pink smoke to make his opponent's vision blurry, not to mention that his eyes will hurt for a while

I would like to say more but I'm too lazy to write more, I'll say more later and tag you in another post

[clouded-chaos]

Sooo my art inspiration is going in and out, but, I want to ramble sooo

Thanks @itz-pandora for the idea

I changed some powers

Ladybug Tikki, earrings, creation| Surge

Surge has been manipulated with Starline’s power, being a puppet to steer Sonic away from them. Tikki is owned by Starline, and can only tell her what Starline wants her to hear

Turtle Wayzz, bracelet, protection| Knuckles

Fox Trixx, necklace, illusion|Tails (stolen back from Mimic)

Mimic used his powers to try and be famous, but, it backfires, and in an attempt to escape the hate, he kills most of the Diamond Cutters. Trixx flees, and gets found by Tails

Pollen, hairpin, action(Stun Power)| Honey

Only uses her Kwami for fashion purposes, freezing her models so she can dress and measure people (NOT AS CREEPY AS IT SOUNDS)

Peacock Duusu, brooch, emotion| Eggman

Creates Sentimonsters to build his empire, and do his bidding. He used his Sentimonsters to become mayor

Mouse Mullo, necklace, multiplication| Rouge

Mainly uses her powers for stealing, though, will help when anyone needs a spy, helps Surge when she wants to escape

Bull Stompp, nose ring, determination (power rebuttal)| Amy

Desperate to be Sonic’s fighting partner, helps anyone in need and will usually be seen in the background of major fights

Tiger Roaar, panjas bracelet, Elation (power surge)| Mighty

Only wants to use his powers to help Vanilla’s Group Home. He keeps a low profile, helping around the city with construction or natural disasters

Bunny Fluff, pocket watch, evolution| Silver

Turns back time after he goes forward and sees the end of the world. Desperate to fulfill his role, he seeks Knuckles. When the guardian won’t listen, he takes matters into his own hands

Goat Ziggy, hair clips, passion| Lost

Pig Daizzi, pearl anklet, jubilation (telepathic powers)| Lost

Dog Barkk, collar, adoration (group manipulation)| Starline

Looks up to Eggman a scary amount, wants the Ladybug and Black Cat only so Eggman can make his wish

Villains:

Clutch- pretends to help the Freedom Fighters, though, uses the money and robotics to create his own organization

Metal(Senti)- was given his Bond by Shadow, but, is still loyal to Eggman. Though, he keeps his Bond hidden

Civilians:

Big- local fisherman

Vanilla- Cream, Mighty, Ray and Charmy’s mother (foster group home mother)

Trip- Knuckles’ and Tikal’s sister| Trip follows Silver’s advice to scatter the Kwami’s, but, she looses some on her journey

Ray- Mighty’s bio brother

Kit (Senti) Surge’s sidekick, also manipulated by Starline, made by Eggman to translate Kwami Lore

Silver and Trip are who I’m focusing on first! Trip takes Silver seriously, taking the Miracle Box to the Rabbit Burrow, but, she drops the box and they all scatter into different directions.

Blaze created Silver to be Fluff’s holder, someone not tied to time, or attached to time. It’s usually handy, having a constant seer, but, it comes with its own traumas

"fts: kinky" --> block this to not see kink related things like piss, pet play, bdsm, etc. Some stuff may not be inherently sexual/suggestive in design (like a pup mask).

"fts: suggestive" --> block this to not see more generic suggestive stuff, like a not graphic pin up pose, a saucy joke, etc.

(you can block the tag fts: kinky and fts: suggestive if you don't want to see saucy stuff here, sadly can't do a filter on my shop tho)

Want to Suggest a Design For Me to Make?

You are welcome to send an ask for a design request! I won't respond (unless I have a question or want to do a poll to see if there's interest from others), but I look over and consider each one :3 No guarantees tho!

Please note that by suggesting a design, you're doing so without expecting anything in return (like money, etc) if I do sell something. If you'd like to be tagged if I do make that design, let me know!!

Depending on the nature of the design, I may sell it here or over at @grackleink-studio (my main business) !

Issues with Package/Product?

Please contact @ruinouslore !! I'll do everything within my power (and budget 🥲) to help you!

If your item or packaging comes damaged, pls let me know! Even though I can't do anything about the shipping process, I'm always trying to improve my packing to minimize damage as much as possible, so seeing pictures of damage helps me!!

Random Q&A!

Q: What do you use to make your keychains/pins? A: I use xTool D1 Pro Desktop Laser Engraver Cutting Machine and 3mm basswood, and of course clasps, jump rings, pin tacks, etc. I digital draw the design and upload a png into xTool’s design software, convert it into vector, and connect my machine to my computer, and engrave/cut!

Q: Do you do custom keychains/pins? Can I commission you to do an alterhuman/etc design? A: I do occasionally take custom orders! I’ll post about it on @grackleink-studio if I do. Unfortunately, I can’t do alterhuman themed (and some other stuff too) designs since I would have to make it in secret (as I do with current stock). I sadly can’t just make stuff whenever. I don’t want to make a client wait too long so I rather just not risk taking custom orders of that theme. Alternatively, you can send a request for a generic alterhuman design to my asks, and I may make it in my own time for public sale.

Q: Are you alterhuman/etc? A: Unsure! I resonate with some aspects of it but I prefer to be unlabeled. I do like to think of myself as a dog and/or a grackle if that counts. I started making alterhuman accessories by the suggestion of my alterhuman friend!

Sonic AU Stuff 4, because yes, there's still more

Amy and her parents live in Station Square, though both Secea and Murve are less than happy with their daughter's habits of chasing a boy and getting into trouble. Her uncle Bramble thinks she's got a better head on her shoulders than her parents over these actions

Cream has 9 sisters(Waffle, Margarine, Frittata, Muffin, Éclair, Scone, and Biscuit, who are all older. Coffee, who's Cream's older twin, and Pancake), though they all live with her dad, whom Vanilla divorced(because Cone specifically singled out Cream and neglected/physically abused her).

After the Metal Virus is cured, Team Chaotix heads off quickly to visit Vector's folks. Vector worries his parents are going to tell him off for sometimes hiding the bills from the IRS with help from Rouge

After the events of Chaotix, Mighty and Ray ended up making a team with up-and-coming fashion designer, Honey. After Neo Metal is stopped and Sonic mentions team names to his old friends, due to coloration, the armadillo, flying squirrel, and cat decide to name themselves "Team Amber"

Super Sonic's quills are a mix of the "standing straight up" and Shadow's. The top three float, the bottom three bend upwards

After the two Storybook games, both Super states(positive and negative) are affected. "Regular" Super Sonic gains the pointed shoes and red forehead gem/possible bindi(like Blaze) of Excalibur Sonic, whereas Dark Super Sonic(which doesn't happen until after Darkspine happens) gains a small lick of fire on the chest(signalling how close the Flame of Judgement was to burning out) and gaining a ring pattern on the upper middle quill and lower side quills. Top has purple, left has red, and right has green, all glowing to contrast again the dark blue, near midnight color the rest of his fur turns

Since she's originally from the Chaos Dimension, Blaze has a Super State outside of Burning Blaze. In reverse, the Sol Emeralds(or how they're going to be called in this AU, the Elemental Citrines) would not work for Sonic

During the Black Arm invasion, Shadow ended up giving some of his blood to Rouge, Amy, Cream, and Big, which gives them minor immunity to the neurotoxin on the Black Comet

Due to being a hive mind of sorts, Black Arms don't have blood types, hence why their blood is much more acidic than Earth blood. Shadow's original donor on the other hand had A- blood. Due to these two factors, Shadow essentially has O- blood

Solaris was killed by Sonic, Shadow, and Silver, rather than Elise. They also when back 25 years rather than just 10. With Solaris' candelabra, Shadow blew out the left arm, Silver the right, and Sonic the final, full Flame. Silver wished them good well before all 3 return to their times

Our pick for the best basic cock ring is the Performance Pro Silicone Cock Ring: We like this one because it's super affordable and the stretchy, soft silicone material can expand to fit most penis sizes. Plus, its flat design prevents any potential slippage off the shaft. This is a great cock ring for those just looking to dip their toes (or their penises) into the category, but it's also a great choice for experienced cock ring users.The Best Prostate Massager: We-Vibe Vector+We-VibeVector+ Vibrating Butt PlugHow to Use: Apply lubricant to anus and vibrator, then gently insertWe-Vibe has been at the forefront of long-distance partner play toys, from vibrating kegel balls to high-tech wands. But all of those frills would feel fruitless if the vibrator in question, the Vector+, wasn’t an absolute banger (luckily, it is). This workhorse is equipped with two motors and 10 settings for a variety of vibration and speed combos, whether you want more rumble towards your balls, the toy’s shaft—you name it, simply adjust the settings on the body of the toy itself, or via the remote control or smartphone app. At 3.5 inches in length and just over 1 inch in girth at its max, this is a solid intermediate toy, but it’s designed to handle even your most raucous smash seshes thanks to the extra-long, extra-secure base. Here’s an idea: Once inserted, rock back and forth while sitting on your butt while your partner blows or strokes you. Ideal Valentine’s Day weekend date!The Best Beginner’s Butt Plug Training Set: Dosha 3 Piece Glass Anal Plug KitPrismsDosha 3 Piece Glass Anal Plug KitHow to Use: Start off with the smallest plug. Apply the lube of your choice to the plug and your anus, while gently inserting the plug. If and when you would like to graduate to a bigger plug (this can take as much time as you like, be it five minutes or an hour—no set rules here), apply more lube during the swap.Every chef has their set of go-to knives, every carpenter, their trustiest tools. This set of glass anal plugs is one of my most trifectas for sex, whether I’m aiming for some backdoor foreplay or gearing up for full penile penetration. If the concept of glass sex toys sounds counterintuitive, fret not; these borosilicate glass toys are actually far more body-safe than your run-of-the-mill plastic toys, and will have less friction when entering your anus. The glass also provides a satisfying, slightly weighted sensation in the anus that can stimulate the P-spot. Each of these plugs is a star in its own right, but I find myself using the smallest size the most. At 4-inches of insertable length, it’s more small-medium in my book—but the narrow design makes it great for anal beginners.The Best Long-Distance Prostate Massager: Lovense Edge 2LovenseEdge 2AccordionItemContainerButtonProsTwo motors to stimulate both prostate and perineumAdjustable angleGood shape and size for beginnersPowerful rumbly vibrations with multiple settingsGreat app connectivity for short-range or long-distance controlQuietWaterproofConsCan’t be used with silicone-based lubesHow to Use: Apply water-based lube to the plug and slide it into your anus. Control it via the buttons on the toy or the Lovense app.As someone in a long-distance relationship, I love the way Lovense toys can be controlled from near or far using the Lovense app, which is packed with fun features like video chat and the ability to create your own vibration patterns. This particular plug is one of Lovense's best products, IMO: The angle is adjustable, so this toy can apply exactly as much (or as little) pressure as you want. There are two motors, one on the prostate and one on the perineum, allowing for precise control over your experience.The Best Non-Vibrating Prostate Massager: Aneros ProgasmAnerosProgasmAccordionItemContainerButtonProsContoured shape allows for hands-free prostate stimulationPerineum tabs massage the prostateConsTip might be too blunt for some users to insert easilyHow to Use: Apply lubricant to the toy before inserting it."For guys who are first-timers looking to explore anal play, I would generally recommend a traditional prostate stimulator such the Aneros," Garrison says. "It's compact and easily inserted for newbies, and also includes touch points for perineum stimulation." Yep, those little balls on either end of the base actually have a practical purpose: They press into your taint while the plug's inside you, so your prostate gets massaged from the inside and the outside at once. As with many other Aneros toys, this one doesn't vibrate or anything, but is instead made to rub against the prostate whenever you squeeze your sphincter muscles. Many users report reaching explosive hands-free climaxes this way.The Best Self-Thrusting Anal Toy: CalExotics EclipseCalExoticsEclipse Thrusting Rotator ProbeAccordionItemContainerButtonProsThrusts, rotates, and vibrates against the prostateTextured head for more intense stimulation12 settingsWaterproofTravel lock functionConsShort battery lifeFunctions can’t be controlled separately from one anotherHow to Use: Press and hold the toy’s button to turn it on or off.
