i have a confession to make. a BIG reason that killed my interest in being around here (the sonic rpc) is that...

...i discovered some people genuinely ship sonic/eggman (sonegg?). i find that pairing VERY gross, regardless of whatever reasons people have for shipping it, and it was juuust enough to repulse me from this space. "respect people's ships" blah blah, i will always have basic respect for people, but if i don't like a ship? i don't like it. if i don't respect a ship? i'm not gonna respect it. (and a ship has to be real questionable for me to not respect it, btw.)

doesn't help that i've been struggling to maintain activity here for the last 3-4 years as it is. all of the ppl i was actual friends with have left the rpc or have ghosted me. befriending new people is too tiring. time to finally throw in the towel.

so...yeah. at this point, it's extremely unlikely i'm going to return here, now or ever in the future on a new acc. i'm still gonna leave this blog up, but whenever i get around to backing up headcanons and whatever else, i'll probably deactivate.

It's Shadikal week apparently.......... 👀

(I care about Sonikal a substantial amount more than Shadikal, but...I still have a soft spot for it.........)

if you have "original characters do not interact" or some form of anti-original character language in your rules... you are weak and will not survive the winter. you're missing out on unbelievably inventive characters created by your deeply passionate peers. you're missing out on so many types of interactions and unique perspectives not found in current mainstream media and the content it produces. there are so many talented people in the rpc with amazing original characters, and you're just writing them off for no reason. what a shame.

Chao were such innocent creatures. The way they went about their daily lives without a care as to what happened in the world outside of their homes was something she always admired. And envied. In the past Tikal had wanted nothing more than to hole up in a garden paradise, where the only thing she had to worry about was what fruit she wanted to eat. Speaking of fruit…

She pushed back the remnants of thoughts and dreams that had died long ago, to focus on the task at hand. There was plenty of food to go around, but many of the Chao were feeling combative today it seemed. Tiny, stubby arms flailing around and pushing away pudgy heads was frankly amusing, but there was no need for it. So, Tikal intervened by gathering and dividing up portions to distribute. However, there were a lot of hungry Chao! It would take a while to ensure everyone gets their fair share…

Tikal heard the voice from behind, instantly recognizing that it did not belong to Knuckles. Despite its gentle sound, Tikal was startled, whirling around and pressing a hand to her chest as if to calm her spiked heartrate. She did a brief scan of the stranger's appearance in the next few seconds, regaining her composure.

❝ O-Oh! Sorry, you surprised me… ❞ It was interesting to come across a visitor to this colossal island in the sky, especially because of its protective guardian, but Tikal would assume Knuckles was aware of the company.

❝ Well- ❞ Recalling the question, Tikal glanced back to be meet with multiple petulant stares from the Chao.

❝ I could use help with feeding these children, if...you wouldn't mind? ❞

ㅤㅤㅤDear Mystery Lady

a starter for @ambrostikal starter call

Another day gone unplanned...

Whisper's been through a lot, last said by her fellow friend. There's not much for her to do outside of these situations, enough for her curiosity simply to peak. She's never exactly had a real tour of Angel Island before. With enough of Tangle speaking up for her, it was surprising enough that Knuckles allowed her to explore as long as she stayed away from the Master Emerald. Which was fine...

She didn't quite expect that sort of answer though. With her wispon in tow, she steps onto the land with little to no haste. Wouldn’t this be considered a vacation…? No, simply just a way of learning about the places her friends usually stay in order to know where to protect them when it came to her sniping. She's always decided against going out here out of respect. But now that she's here... She's not quite sure where to head first. What could be the best place to get accustomed to first?

Well, from the smell of the air... She suspects a garden nearby.

Following her senses, the wolf made her way through the island to stop by. ...Oh? The wolf stopped in her tracks, a twitch of her ear as she peaks around a tree. There was a lively garden closeby in the direction she was headed, which pinpoints the exact smells she picked up from before.

However...

There's a stranger here, interacting with the chao. She's never seen this lady before. Upon longer inspection from a safe distance, she looks a lot like Knuckles. She was close to turning heel and walking away to a more reserved part of the island, but it seems like her curiosity is getting the better of herself. Wispon carefully grasped in her hand and hanging down her side, she gave way her position as she approached.

Any way to get herself to look less intimidating.

"Um... Excuse me," She started. "Would you like some help?"

Y'all I have had such a persistent urge to remake because my tags being a disjointed mess bother me a lot 😓 Not to mention the majority of my mutuals have been inactive for at least 2 years.

I don't want to remake because I don't think it'd be worth the trouble in the long run (and I'm attached to how long I've had this particular account already), but. It's not impossible. Especially if I keep being Bothered.

[ambrostikal]

STILL THINKING ABOUT TIKAL'S POSSIBLE DYNAMICS WITH THE MAIN SQUAD....

Especially Knuckles. She's his kin, one of his ancestors in the general sense, but they are still mostly strangers to one another. Making a home on Angel Island seems like the logical step for her living situation, but it's belonged to Knuckles for as long as he could remember. Would he be comfortable with her present? Them being from the same clan doesn't mean much when he barely knows a thing about her - or their clan itself for that matter.

(Though according to some old sources, apparently Knuckles occasionally receives prophetic dreams from his ancestors' ghosts???)

It's for Knuckles' own comfort that Tikal feels driven to not hang around Angel Island much. Especially not the Emerald Altar, though she can always feel the Master Emerald beckoning to her...

Oh but the Chao there. She can't resist stopping by (somewhat secretly) just to interact with them.

...I am always thinking about dynamics between Tikal and Sonic but I refrained from infodumping about it here lol.

@ultlien asked: "you look lost."

The voice was unexpected, as she had paid her thoughts more attention than her surroundings. She immediately became fixated on the stranger, eyes widening upon registering their blatantly…unearthly appearance. Or maybe, she shouldn't jump to such a conclusion. There was still so much she didn't know about the world today, let alone the beings that dwelled in it.

❝ Ah well, I suppose I am… ❞ Yet with her aimless walking, she did not have any destination in mind. So could she truly have been lost then? The particulars didn't matter though. Her curiosity was flaring to life, and Tikal pressed her hands together - an unconscious habit - as her head tilted.

❝ Just who might you be? I've never seen anyone who looked like you before. ❞

[ambrostikal]

To the surprise of literally no one: Tikal would not like Black Doom.

A warlord who just wants to conquer shit and wipe out other races? Views his mightiest "child" as property and wants to use their mind & body for his own purposes?? Man that feels....eerily familiar to her :)

Pachacamac never wanted to use Tikal like a puppet mind you, but if the Flood was prevented and she still learned how to wield Chaos energy......she can't help but wonder.

That aside, Tikal really does have some nice similarities and contrasts with Shadow huh.

[ambrostikal]

I don't fully remember what threads I had going before, but regardless I'm always down to start new ones - especially with mutuals I haven't done stuff with yet! Tikal is still desperately lacking friends. And enemies. And those inbetween.

[ambrostikal]

I didn't get the game, but I hope those of you who have Shadow Gens are enjoying it!
