Happy birthday Sonic! 🥳🎈🦔 Hopefully somebody bought you Chapstick as a present 😘

Thank you to @hedgethemaze for the fun idea! A sequel to Amy’s Birthday Wishlist was too delicious to pass up! 😉💖💙

@hedgethemaze also made me realize that I’ve rarely drawn Modern!Sonamy kisses so this was the perfect opportunity to start making up for the error of my ways! Shame on me.

Happy Birthday to Sonic & Eggman <3

I started this comic last year and remembered I had it in time for their birthdays. The tones were inspired by the gorgeous manga <3 Here's to another year of Sonic!

Hence why AAML D&P is still in need of some major rewriting and reformatting. Going back and reading my early works is a painful experience to say the least.

Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

Cats purr when they're happy, so what does that say about Blaze that she didn't know that until now? Big thanks to @knuxze for allowing me to dub their comic!

I would argue just letting characters be happy can be compelling. But that's just me.

If that’s not every writer ever, I don’t know what is!

NEW AURORA BIO!✨💜

[I made a bio for Aurora ages ago, but I figured it was time to post a new one since I've altered/developed her character a lot more since then. I'll probably make changes to this as my stories progress]

Name: Aurora the Hedgehog (Legal name: Aurora Rose)

Nicknames: Tiny, Rory, Light, Lightning Bug

Parents: Sonic the Hedgehog (Father) and Amy Rose (Mother)

Birthday: March 13 | Sign: Pisces

Identity/Orientation: Cishet | Pronouns: She/Her

Personality: Bubbly, Playful, Optimistic, Excitable, Caring, Silly

Powers: Photokinesis (Light Manipulation); Minor precognitive dreaming (abstract premonitions in the form of dreams)

Weaknesses: Low self-esteem; Speaks before thinking; Fear of disappointing others

Type: Speed (About the same level as Amy)

Best Friend: Sage Robotnik

Love Interest: Shadow the Hedgehog

Occupation: (Early Career) Counselor for Young Heroes Program | (Later Career) Pop-Singer

Hobbies: Singing, dancing, swimming, writing

Favorite Color: Green

Favorite Food(s): Tamales, Green Chile, sweets | Least Favorite Food: Olives

Favorite Aesthetics: Colorful Maximalism, Eclectic, Eccentric

Physical traits: Aurora has the same pink colored fur as her mother, with sand-colored markings (the same color as her father) on her muzzle, arms, belly and inside her ears. Her eyes are the same shade of lime green as her father. Aurora has voluminous, "wavy" quills and (unlike Amy who straightens hers) styles them "natural," letting the bottom locks and some of her "bangs" curl upwards naturally. She also has back quills, which she is extremely self-conscious about. She is shorter than average which earned her the nickname "Tiny." She doesn't consider herself fashionable, but if she had to describe her style it would be "Maximal," wearing bright colors and many layers. She always wears "light inhibitors" that her Uncle Tails designed for her to help keep her photokinesis under control. The neutral color for her light inhibitors is lime green but changes depending on extreme emotions.

Personality: Aurora is energetic, playful, enthusiastic and optimistic. She gets excited very easily and isn't shy when it comes to expressing herself. She has a habit of blurting out her thoughts before thinking about how they might be perceived, which can sometimes come off as rude (though not intentionally). Nothing makes her happier than making someone smile or laugh, so she is always eager to lend a helping hand or engage in silly pranks if it means it will lift others' spirits. That being said, she can be impatient if someone's being a sourpuss for seemingly no reason. Having such incredible 'superpowered' family members who have traveled across worlds fighting for freedom while she's lived a sheltered, relatively-quiet life makes her feel inadequate and weak by comparison, though she keeps that information to herself. Despite that, she will never hesitate to protect her loved ones. She has a habit of idolizing others, whether that be celebrities or her own friends/family.

Abridged Biography:

Aurora is the only child of Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose. One of Eggman's evil schemes caused a pregnant Amy to go into labor early, and since then, Sonic has been extremely protective of Aurora, to an (unintentionally) detrimental extent. For much of Aurora's childhood, Amy worked multiple jobs and Sonic served as the primary caretaker which made Sonic and Aurora have a very close bond. Though she always had fun with her family, having to stick close within Sonic's orbit and never being allowed to venture out into the world on her own lead to some self-esteem issues and a repressed longing for adventure.

Apart from having Sage Robotnik as her best friend, Aurora has always had a hard time making friends. Her unusual physical traits, her quirky interests and her world-famous family made her a target for bullies or left her ostracized from groups entirely. After a constant barrage of bullying, Aurora's light powers begin to manifest as a form of defense. Afterwards, she slowly gets better at defending herself and gains a bit more confidence.

Aurora joins the Young Heroes Program as a child and stays until she ages out of the program. She was hoping to begin her worldly adventures and her pursuit to help others as soon as she 'graduated,' but Sonic talks her in to staying on as a counselor where she could "do plenty of good close to home." Not wanting to disappoint him, she agrees. Aurora constantly grapples with feeling like she's not doing enough with her life while simultaneously thinking she's not skilled enough to make a difference, leaving her "stuck in place" continuing through adulthood.

When Shadow the Hedgehog returns to Earth after a decades-long mission in space, he and Aurora meet and strike up an unlikely friendship. That friendship quickly blossoms into romance, initially causing friction within the Rose Family. However, the relationship is mutually beneficial, with Shadow encouraging Aurora to take pride in her abilities and inspiring her to explore the world like she's always wanted to, and Aurora having a more positive, calming influence on Shadow. When he learns that she's been considering becoming a professional singer, he encourages her to pursue a career in music which quickly takes off. Her goal is for her music to speak to others and lift them up and show them they're not alone. She also uses her platform to educate and raise money for nonprofits and charities (like anti-bullying organizations). After some years and perilous adventures together (including a journey where Aurora had to travel back in time to save Shadow under an alias), and with the long-awaited approval from Sonic and Amy, Shadow and Aurora get married. Aurora continues her musical career for several years before she and Shadow decide to start a family. They eventually have three litters, consisting of the triplets Piper, Zane & Nova, twins Aster & Blitz, and triplets Cinder, Diamond & Boon.

Out with the lovely @hollylu-ships-it at this place called Craftway Kitchen. Never been here before, but food is quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to enjoy ourselves.

Can't wait to see what else we can find out here!

[echidnapower]

Poor Silver finds out that Sonic has a sense of humor that can't be trusted.

Big thanks once again to @xxtc-96xx for allowing me and my team to dub this short comic! Enjoy!

Does anyone else listen to the most epic boss music they can find and create music videos in their heads that they only wish they could bring to life besides me?

Because if you do please tell me, I want to know what you've dreamed up. Somehow I have so much fun within my own imagination, tell me I'm not the only one. Whether it's Sonic or something else, it doesn't matter.

[echidnapower]

I still love you like the first day we met

To be honest, this should only bring me back out of my hiatus or whatever I am caved right now, so the motive might be nuts, and I didn't care for the anatomy - I wasn't even aware I really would finish it, lol.

Maybe you can enjoy it a little bit. I first wanted both switched, but then I thought, Ash was the small one, and Misty rescued him several times with her bare hands, so why the heck shouldn't she just catch him, when he jumps into her arms?

I was also inspired by Ghibli's "Laputa - Castle in the Sky" (my most fav movie) and the last inspiration to finish it was the German band "Münchner Freiheit". And I'm listening to the Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel OST nonstop, so ... well ... I have a bright taste of music. :D

Enjoy. Miss you.

It's definitely become clear that they're downplaying Amy's affection for Sonic in the past 10 years. Frankly I'm not a fan since her love for Sonic is a huge part of her character and they haven't actually replaced it with much beyond generic girl boss IMO...

But I'm hoping they'll recognize that they need to do something to make Amy stand out in another way in the years to come. This isn't addition by subtraction, they have to give Amy something else to do now, not just SAY things. Show us Amy doing stuff.

He got hung up on those words and didn't bother reading the rest of the sentence.
