there’s a difference between saying “i’ve been a fan of x longer than you and therefore i’m better because you’re a poser” and “you have completely missed entire decades of fandom history that explicitly counteract your claims and it’s really funny seeing you say things that are just historically untrue”
i’m the latter lol. and i’m making direct eye contact with the sonic fandom
#semi vent#LISTEN#i’m not necessarily advocating for the 2000’s sonic fandom but like#saying that shadow and rouge or even shadow and maria are the cutest uwu platonic siblings and have always been that way is hilarious#or when people talk about platonic shadamy#or like. anything with shadow being vulnerable#2000’s shadow was a fucking asshole who was having rabid edgy sex with literally every female character ever#I’M NOT SAYING ONE FANON IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER#but like#saying that rouge and shadow have always been a pillar of platonic m/f relationships is just really funny because.#this was NOT the common interpretation for at least 15 years after sa2#same with shadow and maria#or shadow and amy#or knuckles and amy#basically anything that’s considered cute a sibling dynamic these days used to be a ship#it’s okay to not like these ships but to act like they’ve never been a popular interpretation is really fucking funny because. were you HERE#IF YOU WERE HERE YOU WOULD KNOW#IM NOT SAYING YOU *SHOULD* HAVE BEEN HERE BC IT WASNT ALWAYS PLEASANT. BUT ITS LIKE FANON HISTORY HAS BEEN WIPED#i’m not mad i’m just flabbergasted and feel like i’ve been transported into an alternate timeline

part 1 | headcanon/au being referenced
#sth#sth fanart#sonic prime#sonic frontiers#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#sonadow#fanart#same disclaimers as part 1 . i know it’s a lil ooc it’s mostly intentional#i’m just playing dolls#also knuckles is the easiest to draw and for what#it’s my australian powers activating. i guess#i need to go on a training arc with these characters#i will emerge endlessly powerful#also i just realised sonic and shadows position on the last page looks vaguely inappropriate i PROMISE it’s not#anyways time to post this at the worst time of day possible ^-^ yaaay

I am making the AUs i want to see in the world (it's another swap au. all of them are swap aus)
Shadow's meteor crashes on earth in modern day, right onto the baseball field in Green Hills causing the blackout. Tom investigates, finds this strange memory-less creature, and now suddenly they're on the run from the government and Robotnik. Shadow's conflict comes from the fear that he will hurt Tom, rather than the original movie's conflict of sonic being pissed that Tom was leaving Green Hills.
Sonic's timeline is pushed back 60 years, and he dimension-jumps from Longclaw's death right into Gun's custody. He spends 10 years growing up in the facility with Maria, slowly growing okay with how he's going against Longclaw's wishes of staying hidden - until Maria dies. He's put in stasis for 50 years and wakes up feeling like everyone he gets close to dies, so he decides to go back to the Dimension Jumping plan, but Gerald gets him to help with his Ark plan before he leaves.
#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic movie 3#sonic 3#shadow the hedgehog#sonic au#my art#sonic movie universe#team shadow au#for such a simple tag im surprised theres no. like. posts for it#i know the theme of sonic and shadows thing is like. Oh theyre the same guy just with different upbringings#but i do think sonic losing both longclaw and maria in succession would make him go the I'm The Problem route#and shadow not having sonic's 10 years on earth background would also have some changes#i like the idea of sonic seeing knuckles in tokyo and it just being On Sight#tails and shadow being brothers also... hell yeah#fanart

“tails reminds shadow of maria” what about tails reminds shadow of himself? hi, my name is overgrown and in this presentation ill be discussing
#graveyardtxt#tails reminds shadow of how he used to be before maria died#just a kid spending time with his blue themed ray of sunshine big sibling#they’re both nerds#they’re both more on the quiet and reserved side#they both witness the death/“death’’of their older sibling and have a bit of a breakdown about it (understandably of course)#this is just to fuel my “tails and shadow team up during force’’ agenda btw#*forces#shadow sees tails suffering and struggling after sonic’s death and doesn’t want him to fall down the same revenge spiral he did#shadow the hedgehog#miles tails prower

So each one of these mini-episodes is going to be like getting hit in the emotions with a baseball bat?
I mean, look at them! These kids deserve all the hugs.
On another note, this animation style is beautiful. I would watch a full show that looked like this.

#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#sonic x shadow dark beginnings#sonic x shadow generations#space colony ark#ark siblings#i admit to being rusty on the history here#but i'd never considered that there were other children on the ark at the same time as maria#like that kid in the beginning#i didn't include him because i don't like him#for being mean to shadow

forced to once again remember how shadow is laughing when he says "i think i figured out what the ultimate lifeform is! it might be you!"
#speaking#he says this while literally actively dying in space losing energy enough that he isn't too prideful to say straight up#that he can't last very long like this while sonic's almost every voice line has some variant of 'shadow you okay?!?!'#he just fucking. laughs. i can only imagine it's that tired exhausted manic state that makes him go 'haha ... sonic!!!'#insane to me. like . jesus christ dude. what the fuck.#i was gonna say this is an unhinged reaction to reframing your entire life and purpose but at the same time i guess he already did that#smth smth 'i have to keep my promise to maria ... and you' (dies) (im talking about myself but him too he dies too)

Fear of being left behind, and wanting to be loved as much as you love others. Sometimes little reminders from a friend can help. Peep my tags
#thinking a lot about amy rose lately. I drew this maybe a week or so ago but couldnt parse how i wanted to talk about it#Was rambling to a few friends abt her journey to self love and dismantling comphet-isms and how#If I were to write her#they'd be interconnected#Her attachment over someone who's made it clear he doesnt feel the same way. ogh#Her begging to not be left behind and BEING left behind often is SO#I make a lot of angst of the sonic characters. sorry. I respond well to tragedy (btas enjoyer)#I find Shadow and Amy's friendship so comforting and interesting.#Amy is the reason Shadow remembered Maria's promise and went to help Knux and Sonic in sa2.#I'd even argue that Amy Rose is Shadow the Hedgehog's first friend that he'd say is his friend.#For Rouge and Omega he could pretend that they're just a team and work together. Nothing more.#The idea of them being good friends also gives me a lot of joy.#Amy takes him shopping! Takes him places he didnt know existed. He tries food he'd never had before#Amy gets to share her love of the world with someone she cares about. Someone who. deep down. is kindhearted and wants to do good. wl#wants to love the world as much as her#And I adore that so much!!#Shadow the Hedgehog#Amy Rose#sth#sketches

rewatched sonic 3 last night, still gets me gripping my plushie's hand entire length. have some studies and doodles I forgot to include in the last art dump
#get yourself a partner that looks at you the same way this hedgehog looks at his sister#the movie redraws might not seem to have anything interesting in them at first but in fact i was blending the colors manually#like. going all around the color circle just to figure out how to blend colors myself without picking them from the screencaps lol#my favourite art activity#and i wasnt using any blending/soft brush tools#every. single. strand. of. fur. drawn. manually.#it felt like drawing an entire rendered picture with just dots. not very sane of me#i also messed around with ear positions because i swear they made them too stiff and expressionless#... or i like making them over-expressive. oh well#sonic#sonic 3#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#intrigued by his fur having blue highlights in the movie#also im pretty sure both sonic and shadow have the ear tufts there??#that one posts only highlights shadows tufts but now i noticed sonics fur also forming ones so idk now#now onto checking polish dubbing again because i have no idea whether the 'ultimate lifeform' line drops there or not anymore#i was convinced they didnt call shadow an ultimate lifeform at all in the movie because i couldnt recall hearing it

sonic the hedgehog human/highschool au but eggman is still the villain because he won't let sonic date his son(it's shadow. his son is shadow)
#I looked it up and apparently eggman is maria's COUSIN#but let's just say in this specific scenario he's her dad instead. gerald is still her peepaw so some things stay the same#shadow is adopted. spreading the maria & shadow sibling agenda#family tree goes gerald -> eggman -> maria & shadow#sonic wants to date shadow and promptly gets banned from sleeping over at his house ever again by eggman#sonic the hedgehog#sonic fandom#sth#sonic series#eggman#dr eggman#dr ivo robotnik#dr robotnik#ivo robotnik#doctor eggman#shadow the hedgehog#sonadow#shadonic#text post

part 2 | headcanon/au being referenced

delivering controversial takes to the "the gang plays minecraft" discussion
#soda offers you a can#sage edited in post bc this thing doesn't have her for some reason?#addressing some hotter opinions ->#sonic does not speedrun. he would not enjoy the tedious task of resetting worlds to have a chance at performing the same actions over again#he does play but does not take it very seriously and dies a lot. he's there if he's wanted present and that's as much as he'll do#he doesn't dislike the game it's just not that interesting to him#shadow doesn't really get the appeal. that's all.#same with sonic in that he'll do it if the right people ask him to but he'll have less fun than sonic bc sonic knows how to play#general enjoyer tier has nuance within it. amy would go really hard on some aspects but doesn't get to the niche things#like redstone machinery and mob farms etc#silver likes the escapism of building little houses. sometimes he starts a world and lives through minecraft unfiction though#which kills the vibe and he won't touch the game for extended periods of time#elise and cream are the most casual in that the game's fun and they get into it but it's just cozy to them#maria would play minecraft if she was around for it and not dead. she'd be so normal about minecraft she'd be so normal about the end poem#minecraft could fix her but alas she's fucking dead#does not play minecraft crowd has feelings ranging from hatred of the game to it not being their thing#i'll leave it up to the observer to decide where each opinion lies#with the addition of some being physically unable to play minecraft. but you know
