It's been 0 days since I realized once again I keep traumatizing both OCs & my favorite characters, especially Sonic

Weird Metal Future AU

A while back I had this random idea for an AU were it’s sonadow in the far off future but it’s technically Shadow x Metal Sonic or at least it is at first

Shadow & Metal have outlived everyone, I dunno if Shadow & Sonic were together or not but Shadow had feelings for him & Metal had moved on from trying to be the real Sonic(having found an identity of their own) with help from their friends as well as their late wife Amy(died of old age). At some point when everyone was adults Shadow was away for some time & when he returned Sonic had died in an accident due to fighting a villain or something.(Even if Eggman possibly retires there’s always going to be someone to deal with at some point)

Shadow misses Sonic & ends up becoming close to Metal thanks to them becoming friends in the past as well as the fact they understand each other due to losing people they cared for that helped them out in the past. Metal at some point tries to get closer but Shadow is scared because he doesn’t want to use Metal as a replacement for Sonic. Metal accepts this & does their best not to try anything Shadow doesn’t want but at some point some adventures lead to the two bonding more than they already have & eventually becoming a couple.

Now I mentioned earlier that at first this looks like Shadow x Metal & that’s because at some point Shadow learns that his partner isn’t Metal. This person is actually Sonic who has technically become a cyborg thanks to Metal’s body. During the time of accident that lead to Sonic dying by some miracle Sonic was saved by having his consciousness put into Metal who was willing to share their body with Sonic. The two dealt with sharing a body for years as well as dealing with Sonic’s death as he lost his body, technically was dead & besides close friends(plus Eggman) no one knew Sonic was alive.

At some point when Amy passed away Metal allowed their consciousness to fade away as a way of passing on with her leaving Sonic as the only one in their body. Sonic ended up mourning in private(along with any friends still alive) as no one else could know Sonic was still alive plus Shadow didn’t know.

Shadow was never told because he had trouble dealing with Sonic’s death & there was really never a chance especially with how crazy it sounded. By the time it was just him & Sonic(Omega is possibly still around, he hangs out with them & is aware of Sonic’s secret) Sonic couldn’t say anything without Shadow thinking Metal believed they were Sonic again. Plus they’re in the far off future, have grown close enough to talk about themselves & about their past friends so Sonic can’t really get much evidence(maybe there’s a chance by checking Sonic/Metal’s coding cause there was likely a change due to Sonic being added) nor answer questions only he could answer cause it could be something Shadow heard from Tails, the real Metal when they were alive, Sonic himself while pretending to be Metal or someone else.

I’m not sure how Shadow finds out, want to guess it’s found out in some way during an adventure or maybe something lead to Omega confessing for Sonic & Shadow ended up finding a way to confirm it. Either way Shadow finds out & Sonic doesn’t have to pretend he’s Metal anymore.

It’s awkward between Shadow & Sonic because Shadow had accepted he was likely dating Metal & Sonic is struggling to get use to being himself around Shadow. I’m sure Sonic has been able to be himself while alone or around certain people but he’s had to pretend to be Metal in public for the longest time especially when it was his turn to control the body.(There’s also the fact due to circumstances he had to keep everything a secret from Shadow)

Eventually they’re able to come to terms with everything, they start over due it being Shadow & Sonic now instead of Shadow & Metal. Especially since Sonic while partly being himself had to pretend to be Metal & was accepting his fate so now Shadow is technically getting to reknow his partner, Sonic gets use to being himself again, they also end up mourning Metal since Metal is officially gone now.(If their friends/family’s graves are still there since a lot of time passed & things changed they setup a grave for Metal next to Amy’s)

Eventually things return to normal but with Sonic being there as a fully robot body cyborg instead of Metal.(I dunno how to explain this & this might be going in circles now)

I want to imagine at some point Sonic some how gets a flesh body back & ends up kind of like Shadow(immortal & shit) because despite having a robot body that can be considered immortal it’ll eventually break down even with constant repairs if possible. These two are going to eventually give Omega a funeral. They’re in the far off future so something could happen plus Shadow was made in a lab so maybe there’s a miracle somehow.(Maybe by some miracle someone had some how gotten DNA from Sonic’s original body before it rotted away so cloning was involved which could help)

Shadow despite losing everyone close to him over time is able to have Sonic stay by his side & isn’t going to be alone in the next far off future.

At some point I kind of imagine Shadow & Sonic carved Shadow’s name into the grave made for Sonic when his original body. I forgot how to word this but it’s kind of a way to allow Shadow to kind of be laid to rest with the rest of his friends/family & since he & Sonic are partners may as well put his name on Sonic’s grave. Shadow & Sonic are still the same but they’ve changed, while they’ll likely never get to see their friends again in the afterlife due to being immortal they can in a way say a part of them moved on with everyone else as the two head toward new adventures & possibly new friends.(Likely meeting Silver cause of how far they are into the future or if you’re me Silver is their son)

Edit: I semi thought about this but was too tired to think/talk after finishing this post(4 in the morning)

It’s really ironic & sad that the tables have kind of turned for Sonic & Metal. Metal use to believe they were the real Sonic & Sonic was the imposter when they still worked for Eggman but years later after after they left Eggman’s side, found their own identity & a life for themself & even became Sonic’s friend Sonic now has to be the Metal imposter. I’m sure when Metal was alive they both talked about the irony & comforted each other over issues because they understand the feeling of being called imposter despite the context being different for both.(I dunno where I’m going)

Now Metal is gone(admittedly he could & has talked to Omega but it’s hard cause Omega never had to deal with shit like this) & Sonic can’t really be himself around Shadow because Shadow wouldn’t believe him without proof that he knows he doesn’t have or possibly can’t use. I’m sure Sonic eventually realizes there’s some proof he can use & Omega can vouch for him especially since Shadow eventually finds out this is Sonic in Metal’s body. Even then I don’t think anyone they know now cares about Sonic being Metal, sure Sonic when he was still Sonic is seen as a legend due to being a well known hero in his time but I’m sure the descendants of his friends know.(I dunno where I’m going)

There’s also issues because again Sonic has had to pretend to be Metal for a long time. Shadow & Sonic had to start over because for a while now Shadow thought he was friends with & starting a relationship with someone else after having carried feelings for Sonic who he thought was dead. Shadow started a relationship with “Metal” after bonding with them & finally accepting he wasn’t thinking of Metal as a replacement for his crush that died long ago.

Now he’s learning Metal died a little after Amy passed & this Sonic/technically a stranger this entire time. Not to mention it probably feels like the ability to be with Sonic now feels like replacing Metal. Sonic understands this & gives Shadow space but with open lines if he needs anything because he understands things have been made worse.

There’s a lot of psychological shit I don’t fully understand nor can explain but they (likely with help from Omega & their friends from this current time) eventually work things out, start over, help each other change/recover & finally become a couple. It’s likely still hard deal with the fact Sonic hid things due to situations but they talk things out(probably get a lot of therapy) & work things out.

Sonic probably starts talking to Shadow about things he use to talk to Metal about now that he feels like he can lean on Shadow’s shoulder & be more open. The two are more open as time goes on & with help they’re able to move on & mourn Metal while giving Metal a proper funeral that they deserved even if they can’t burry the body.

Shadow likely has to deal with the worry of losing his boyfriend again because Sonic lost his body while Shadow was away & it likely eats him up inside. Not to mention while robots are technically immortal Sonic’s body & Omega are going to break down eventually & Shadow likely won’t always be able to replace the needed parts or make new ones.

Sonic ending up in a flesh body at some point & immortal like him(this is a repeating thing with my shit, mortal lover getting to stay with immortal lover some how) is both a blessing & probably leads to more worries.

The two have a lot to work on but they eventually work through things, work things out, move on together & finally are able to make peace with everything as time goes on. They know they’ll lose people again especially Omega one day who is the last of their original friends from Sonic’s time but he & the others will live in the two’s memories & the two have each other so Shadow isn’t walking the Earth alone one day.

I dunno where else I’m going cause I’m having trouble explaining & this is starting to feel like it’s going in circles now.

Thought I'd make an update cause I need to get my laptop worked on & it might cause the icon to change due to reinstalling everything(I dunno)

Resized the browser so it'd fit next to the date on my computer, thought it'd be best to show it there than edit it into the pic. I dunno I just wanted to show proof because it's funny that the twitter icon has lasted this long on my computer.

Dunno why I'm posting this

Thought it'd be interesting to show this, I minimized it so I could shrink it & put it next to the current date. The red bar is the town within driving distance of my town, the only reason I'm showing more than the icons is because I wanted to show I found it cool it's happening on FireFox.

I pinned twitter to my firefox new tab dashboard thing before it became X(I'm not calling it X unless needed)

After it became X the link on my new tab homepage thing kept looking like this(due to having pinned it the link will stay the old link & the shortcut's name will stay "Twitter" unless I change it) but eventually changed to the current X icon(black with a white "X"). On rare occasions it'd return to being the twitter icon for some reason but it's been taken longer & longer to show up.

The same thing would happen to the Tumblr icon were it use to show the last Tumblr icon which is the image below this.

It happened more often than the twitter one but sometimes they'd show up at the same time. I think tumblr stopped showing the old icon though.

Like I said I just found this interesting & wanted to show it before it changes back because it usually changes back at some point after pressing on the icon or at the very least going to the site some how.

It's just a weird thing I found interesting especially since the tumblr & twitter icons are the only ones that do this on my new tab page.

My random Winx Club & Ojamajo Doremi idea

This was a draft I made August 17, 2024(going off the date on the tumblr draft) on my main blog then kind of just forgot about it when it was maybe half or so way done.(Last thing added was the pics showing the magic/witch world of Ojamajo DoReMi as examples) For whatever reason I decided put the post on my art blog since I kind of just post ideas here anyway.

---

This is an idea I sometimes think about occasionally that'd be interesting to see as a fic or something. It's not exactly perfectly but if someone decides to use it they can probably fix something.

This all involves knowing about both Winx Club(at least past season 2) & Ojamajo Doremi(full series since this involves stuff from after the final season Ojamajo Doremi Dokkan)

So the idea is Hana either being an exchange student(well she's going to visit, no one is going over to the Witch World) for a few weeks or something or is visiting the school to see what it's like & might join later since either they haven't set everything up or she's not old enough yet. The exchange student bit involves her being in her teens & the second idea involves Hana either being in her teens or the main cast of Ojamajo Doremi's age(they were I think in middle school or graduated it at the end of the series) & using her magic to change her age like in the show.(Context in the final season Hana used her magic to look older so she could go to school in the human world with the rest of the cast) The idea is that she either went into teen stage at some point to fit in on the tour or changed at some point on the tour.

This can also be seen as before Doremi 16 or it never happened. Context Doremi 16 is a novel continuation were the main cast(except Hana given she's younger than the others so she used magic to be older) are teens & become witches again.(It later continues on with it going into the main cast going into adulthood)

I haven't seen Winx Club in years, I faintly remember seeing the episodes were Flora & Aisha got Enchantix. I didn't get to see Winx Club from the start of the series but at one point managed to watch a couple of the first episodes of season 1, like the fact Stella is why Bloom got to the fairy school & tried to lie about who she was until a certain point.

I remember at the end of the episode the staff were surprised that there was someone with magic on Earth. This lead to the idea of the school founding out about the magic world connected to Earth & managed to talk with the Witch Queen & some of the others. They agree that it might be a good idea to make connections with Earth's magic world so the queen decides to have Hana visit the fairy school to see what it's like since she's the next in line for the throne & semi understands things better thanks to having been around & raised by humans.(Well Majo Rika raised her when the girls were busy & fully takes over as her mom when everything is over but still)

I say the fairy school & not the witch school because Hana wouldn't fit in with Winx Club's witch school.(Plus didn't one witch transfer to the fairy school cause she didn't fit in after being stuck as a pumpkin thanks to the three villain witches?) Some of the witches seem like they'd fit in with them but the magic world & many of the people(& the witch apprentices from Earth from Ojamajo DoReMi) there I feel wouldn't fit with the witches.

Seriously look at these, the sky is rainbow. Admittedly sometimes it's brown but I think that's certain areas & the point is that Ojamajo Doremi's witch world doesn't fit in with Winx Club's witches.

Anyway I got distracted, sorry about the rambling.(Also took like most of a year to return to this)

So the idea is that the fairy school found out about the magic world connected to the human world.(Probably took some time because you have to wait for a full moon to go to the Witch World to take witch apprentice exams) While talking the witch queen decided it might be worth making connections with the fairy school(and maybe other people connected to the school or something). The queen agreed to take a tour with the possibility of the next in line(for context Hana isn't related to the queen, witches are born from flowers) for the throne(Hana) to go to the school for experience with the fairies in the future when she's ready/old enough.

The main cast of Winx Club due to all the work they seem to do(especially helping save the universe plus at one point helping newer classmates at the start of one season) got asked to help Hana around the school. The girls get to meet the queen & witch senate, they get to talk a little/walk around before learning Hana managed to wander off. The girls then go to find her & possibly meet the fairies(context witches in Ojamajo DoReMi after one exam are given a fairy that can pretend to be them if needed) which leads to learning a little about the world Hana comes from.

They eventually meet Hana, she's either a teen or used her magic to go into her teen form to fit in. They interact(dunno what'd happen, maybe Hana ends up having to help with a fight or something) & at some point Hana talks about her life & world some. Maybe also bond over their parents not being around, I know Bloom cares for her parents but it was a shock to her to learn she's adopted & later learn her family is gone. Hana's adopted moms aren't dead but she can't see them again until she becomes queen & allows them to visit since they gave up being witches since it'd mean saying goodbye to their friends/family in the human world.(Probably also really weird to the Winx girls that Hana was raised by some middle schoolers with the supervision of a witch who took over as her adopted mom after returning to the witch world let alone if Hana found out the queen let this happen because she saw the potential in the girls to help the magic world)

Some of the interactions could be interesting because Hana lived on Earth like Bloom so despite some differences(like Hana living in Japan & having had magic in her life even while on Earth) they might be able to bond over stuff from Earth that some witches don't understand.

Flora would probably be interested in the fact witches & wizards are born from plants since she's the fairy of nature, maybe Hana also mentioning that her name came from the fact she was born from a blue rose in the royal garden.(Also the fact she kind of lived around plants since the season she was born/introduced involved the cast working at a plant nursery/shop) It's also kind of funny to me that Hana's name was Flora in the French dub so maybe a ref to that or something.

Musa would probably be interested to learn how much music plays a part in the witch world like how instruments end up being important with some characters(like the main cast giving up an instrument to get a higher apprentice wand at one point, the fact Hana can play a magic accordion) & the written language of the Witch world being made with music notes.

Eventually after whatever happens while hanging out Majo Rika, the witch queen & the rest of the witch senate/staff find them. They continue/finish the tour(depending on how long everything lasted) before Hana says goodbye to the girls & returns home with the rest of the witches leaving everyone to think on everything.

Maybe at a later point Hana showing up as some kind of exchange student(I again say this but she's the only one visiting, no one is going over to the Witch world's school but maybe the Winx girls could go over for a few days to see what it's like) & her time at the fairy school, possibly joining in on whatever the main cast is up to.

Maybe if the Doremi 16 & so on books happen she could eventually return & tell the cast about the new adventures she had with her friends/family after they got older & got to deal with magic again.

I dunno, for some reason I kept thinking about what could happen if these two series had a crossover cause it'd be interesting & Hana has some moments that could connect with the Winx girls/main cast here & there. Probably also the girls going on adventures while dealing with a new comer/younger member of the team joining them. I dunno how well Hana's magic would help in a fight but I know she could probably find a way to help.

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 7

Final day for my late shit but I do have at least one more pic I want to make for this when I get to it.

Day 7 was newborn/birthing-labor

Here's Mephiles helping Venice get onto the bed to meet his new half brother.

The rest of the family is in the room off-camera & coming over to see the new baby. Friends(Rouge helped but left the room after everything was ok) are waiting to come see cause they want to give Sonic's family & adopted family time to see the baby first.

Venice is excited to see his new brother, his dads are glad everything went ok since Sonic struggled a little & Sonic is just glad to be here safe with his sons after everything that's happened in his life.

It's been a long journey but Silver is here, when this all started Sonic was a single mom learning he was pregnant & Eggman making things worse. Now he's the mother of two with both fathers of his sons in his life & love/care about their family. The family still has some struggles but they're safe & a happy family.

Posing & stuff was a little awkward, I was also in a hurry when I drew this cause I wanted to finish up because I was heading off to visit my dad for the weekend.

With luck next time I try to work on this ahead of time if it happens again.(Next time I'm drawing the twins)

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 6

Day 6 was contractions/backache

I mistakenly drew him in labor but hey contractions are likely hitting him soon

Crescent doesn't know what to do & is internally panicking(luckily the Shadow, Rouge & the others can help)

Also Sonic was originally going to have a Christmas reindeer on his sweater(warped a little thanks to his baby bump) but I decided to just leave it as a plain one but the old sketch is still there

Friends & family are visiting Sonic, his husbands & Venice for a gathering close to Christmas. Sonic went to bring some coffee that had been prepared earlier, Knuckles & the others are a little worried since Sonic is close moving around & carrying stuff while in his 9th month of pregnancy. Sonic unfortunately started having contractions while in the kitchen before his water eventually broke after leaving & on his way back to the table. A snow storm was suppose to happen soon & it hit when Sonic's family should probably take him to the hospital. He was rushed upstairs for the delivery so Venice, Hip, Argyle & Lara wouldn't see what was going on.(Well so some of the others wouldn't see too just for privacy but mostly so the kids don't see)

Dialogue (I tried to match colors to characters but might be off especially since my laptop's screen has issues with lighting/color tones, not helped by the what color theme you have the site set to) Tails: Sonic are you ok? Knuckles: Be careful carrying that jug of coffee. You're close to your due date. Sonic: *In pain and shaking as he tries not to fall to his knees* M-My water broke... Shadow: S-Shit and the snow storm started up! Rouge: Get Sonic upstairs, I'll do what I can to help!

For whatever reason even though Shadow likely knows medical stuff due to probably helping with Maria I made Rouge the local nurse/medic of the team. It's mostly in RPs with my boyfriend but for some reason I allowed her to some how have a medical license & is the one her friends trust to give them checkups if needed or medical advice.

I know Sonic & his friends' birthdays fandom wise are when the game that introduced them came out but for some reason I wanted Silver to have a winter birthday. By chance I learned the Japanese release of 06 was December 21st so Silver gets Japan's release date & Venice gets the US's release date of November 14.(Since Venice is based off a prototype of Silver)

This is also based on an RP I did with my boyfriend(same RP that inspired day 5's pic) that used an old version of my Lost Prince AU.(This bit & day 5 are also in the current ver though) Knuckles, Rouge, Lara, Chuck, Manic & Sonia(for some reason Aleena was missing from this RP ignoring a mention of the version that was Zonic's mom, also dunno why Tails wasn't there) were visiting Sonic, Venice, Shadow & Mephiles during the winter. At some point the power went out, Shadow got some candles out & Sonic brought premade coffee out(Venice helped him, Crescent technically took his place for this) only to go into labor as the snow storm Rouge heard was going to happen that day started up. Power came on some time after Sonic had Silver & after an incident with Jules(this has been changed & Jules came with everyone else) as well as Knuckles's relative(boyfriend's OC) came to check on things.

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 5

I took a little to long to return to this, I was catching up on other shit

Day 5 was baby kicks/horny & or pregnancy sex

I drew Mephiles & Sonic relaxing on the bed while feeling Silver kick

I don't actually know when this takes place but I'm just going to say it's after Mephiles becomes part of the family because it might be awkward if Sonic let him rest on the bed with him & feel the baby move if this was before the conversation about being a throuple.(I dunno what to call it cause I realized it might be weird to call them a threesome outside of sex)

Mephiles is just enjoying interacting with his stepson(baby Silver) & Sonic is just enjoying having Mephiles back in his life while being with the two hedgehogs he(Sonic) loves.(Still recovering from the fact he had to accept Mephiles might have been dead when Venice was born) This is Mephiles's first time dealing with Sonic's pregnancy until years later when Shadow, Mephiles & Sonic have Venice & Silver's sisters. Mephiles gets to be there for Venice now & gets to know what it's like to raise a baby since Silver is coming in a few months.(I dunno where I'm going now)

I've been working a little on Mephiles's post time-reboot design a little & tried to make his arm markings look a little like his crystal form but might need to work on that more. He doesn't need inhibitor rings but decided he wear some that help him hide his crystal form. He can control it but it's best to be careful & maybe conserve power.

I dunno why but I find this pic a little funny, not because Mephiles remembers who Silver was in the old reboot(to be fair Mephiles hates that version of himself so is on Silver's team for real this time) but because this while part of my Lost Prince stuff is based of an RP with my boyfriend using an old version of the Lost Prince AU.

The only context is that this takes place after a now freed(from No Zone prison) Mephiles finally finds Sonic while Sonic, Venice & Shadow were having an outing to a meadow near their house. After everything got explained Mephiles & Shadow agreed to share Sonic(he was flustered but happy to be with both). After that scene it cut to Mephiles & Sonic relaxing/talking on Sonic & Shadow's bed while feeling Silver move around/kick while Shadow is doing something.(Likely work or updating plans for the wedding)

Friendly reminder(or a "just so you know" if you didn't know) I find it very hilarious that Shadow family tree wise is Eggman's fucking uncle. Relationship wise he's Maria's adopted brother but it'll never stop being funny thinking about Shadow fucking Robotnik is Ivo's(and Maria's but it's more funny to focus on Eggman) uncle.

I also find it funny that this family tree Sega put together uses Sonic X. I enjoyed Sonic X I just find it funny that of all the media used for this they used Sonic X screenshots, an anime I grew up with & was literally the only Sonic media I knew about until high school.

Also find it funny Black Doom isn't here, to be fair he's not part of the family he was just used as a literal DNA donor for Shadow but it'd be funny cause BD & Gerald did technically create Shadow together.(Gerald asking for Maria's sake)

[livewireprojects]

I was gonna draw a pic for this idea but maybe later

So king Shadow & jester Sonic AU but Sonic is secretly the queen & just happens to be the court jester so no one realizes who he actually is.

People probably wonder if there is a queen or if Shadow will ever get married.(Maybe even wonder if Sonic will become Shadow's queen) I'm sure some people know there's a queen but I dunno how many are aware of them(or even that this is a male queen) but most just know of the king while annoyed is very close with his jester.

Shadow obviously knows Sonic is his queen but like Sonic hides that Sonic is his queen.(Maybe very close people/those that need to know are aware acknowledge it in private) Sonic does do his job as the queen but most of the time at least publicly he's doing the job of the court jester. It's unknown why Sonic just chooses to hide his status as the queen, maybe for safety or just doesn't want the attention that comes with being a queen.

A part of me wants to imagine that maybe something happened & queen Sonic disappeared only to return secretly as the jester of his court. Shadow possibly didn't recognize him(maybe most knowledge of the missing queen was erased or lost including his own memories) but over time became close to the strangely familiar jester until finally learning this was his missing queen. After finding out the two worked things out & knew it'd probably for the best/for safety reasons to allow Sonic to continue being a jester while returning to his queen status behind the scenes. This could technically be seen as magic based due to the idea of his existence being erased & returning to his original role but behind the scenes after managing to slowly work his way back into his husband/king's life.

Another idea is that something caused Sonic to have to go into hiding for one reason or another.(Possibly royal politics related assassins, I'm not going further into this cause I dunno what I was doing & trying to type this was a train wreck as I started getting lost/distracted leading to deleting & starting over) Shadow & others close to them are worried & want to keep Sonic safe but know hiding him won't last forever. Eventually after a certain amount of time Sonic & Shadow figure out a way to allow Sonic to come out of hiding via a new identity which leads to Sonic eventually deciding to be a court jester. It's probably a bad idea since Sonic despite some time passing seems familiar to some but apparently shit works. While it might seem suspicious that the king has become close with his court jester over time it's only those that notice things or have lived in the kingdom long enough to realize they're really close because to those that don't pay attention or are outsiders this can look like a friendship or a king that seems to both tolerate/be amused & loath the jester but for some reason keeps him around.(I kind of thought about this due to a fic about different strangers seeing Sonic & Shadow's relationship in one way or another with each interaction leading to people realizing they're close & ending with the last one learning they've been marred for years)

These are just suggestions/just me typing possible ideas so you can do whatever with the idea of jester in public & queen behind the scenes AU

Weird hibernation AU idea

Saw some talk about Sonic hibernating in the Sonadow tag & got this weird idea to connect the idea of Sonic going into hibernation with my favorite thing.(Making Sonic immortal/live as long as Shadow lives so they won't be separated)

I haven't really put much thought into it past the idea that something happens(mostly Sonic absorbing a shit ton of chaos energy) & it effects him. Everyone is worried(especially Shadow) cause he seems off & has been eating a lot before just one day someone finds him unconscious. Everyone is worried but then learn he's in some kind of hibernation state & his body is dealing with whatever happened.(This admittedly sounds more like he's in a healing coma)

Takes a few months before Sonic wakes up but he eventually comes out of his coma/hibernation feeling better/healed(if he had any injuries before hand). Everyone is relieved & wonder if he's ok despite Sonic seeming perfectly fine now.(Not to mention the fact he was asleep for a long time) Eventually something leads to Tails or someone giving Sonic a checkup & realizing he's like Shadow now. After that it's kind of just Sonic coming to terms with things & Sonadow.

Ironically I only originally imagined the first paragraph & got the idea for the second one while typing.

Some more ideas to add in depends on if Shadow & Sonic are already in a relationship or if they end up in one at some point during this story/idea.

In the idea were Shadow is in a relationship with Sonic, maybe before all this Shadow had some worries about losing Sonic since he'll outlive Sonic.(Or maybe thinks about it due to Sonic going into hibernation) Depending on their relationship(like how far into it are they? Are they dating? Married? Dating & at that point were they decided to move in together?) Sonic is likely being kept at Shadow's place during his hibernation. Shadow is likely really clingy once Sonic finally wakes up. After learning about Sonic's new condition the two likely talk things out & Shadow helps Sonic deal with his new condition & any possible new issues cause of it.

In the idea were Shadow isn't in a relationship with Sonic.(At least not yet) Shadow & Sonic might be thinking about their feelings but haven't said anything, maybe Shadow is in denial who knows. When Sonic ends up hibernating maybe it leads to Shadow thinking about his feelings or something during the hibernation made him think about it. Maybe Shadow thinks about it after Sonic recovers but either way the hibernation led to Shadow having to think over/possibly come to terms with any feelings for Sonic he has. Shadow ends up growing close to Sonic while helping him recover/deal with his new condition & the two end up bonding as tie goes on. They talk things out & prepare for whatever the future holds as well as their new relationship.

I ended up having a lot of maybes for how Shadow & Sonic's relationship could have started in the version were they weren't together yet. Maybe Shadow confesses to Sonic after he wakes up & they start a relationship before learning about Sonic's condition because thinking things over led Shadow realizing he should accept living in the moment & try to have a relationship with Sonic while he's still there. Maybe Shadow ends up in a relationship with Sonic after helping Sonic deal with the aftermath of learning his new condition thanks to growing close while dealing with everything. I got carried away but had a few ideas of the many possibilities for their relationship starting.

Admittedly the version were they aren't together yet could also work in a version were they are together but it's early in so Shadow would have time to think about his relationship with his new boyfriend.(Like they've known each other for a long time, they're finally together & now he wonders if this is the guy he wants to spend the rest of Sonic's life with) I dunno if Sonic could stay at his place since it's early in but Shadow is dating him so he could be trusted to keep an eye on him. By the time Sonic wakes up Shadow has come to terms with the idea of allowing their relationship to get more serious in the future & live the rest of Sonic's life with him. Like with the not in a relationship ver Shadow & Sonic bond over Shadow helping Sonic with the aftermath, maybe at some point they talk about the future & accept their relationship getting more serious as time goes on.(I'm typing this as if they accepted the idea of trying to date but not sure if it will turn serious or they'll eventually move on but stay friends/allies then bonding together helped them realize they want to have a serious relationship after all)

Also kind of imagine Sonic having some struggles since I typed a lot for Shadow. Sonic is likely struggling with the idea he'll eventually outlive everyone. He's also worried about how his powers/anything else caused by his new immortal condition might effect him. He has a lot of worries & probably struggles to deal with it or talks things out with Tails/someone else at some point before eventually Shadow helps/talks to him.

I also kind of imagine Sonic is nervous about relationships because he fears he'll cause someone to get hurt thanks to being connected to him.(Took some convincing start up the relationship in the version were Shadow & Sonic are early into the relationship & maybe in the ver were they're already committed) Maybe in one version he's dealt with relationship issues so worries Shadow might not want to be with him at some point & Shadow eventually helps him accept that Shadow won't get bored of him/leave him after some time.

I dunno how to type this & it's 4:15am(I wanted to get this finished with before going to bed). I guess Shadow is dealing with his relationship with Sonic & helping Sonic out while Sonic is also dealing with his relationship with Shadow as well as coming to terms with losing his mortality, outliving everyone & dealing with new challenges to his life.

I guess by the end Shadow & Sonic are a committed couple, Sonic while still struggling has come to terms with the changes in his life & is finally accepting enjoying the present time again since he kept worrying about the future.(Tails, Knuckles & the others are important to him & part of his life so he doesn't know what he's going to do when everything is eventually over/gone)

I am rambling way too much, I'm going to bed.

Edit: I came back to this after getting some sleep

Someone mentioned animalistic mobian headcanons, I like adding animal traits(like purring & grooming fur to be affectionate) on occasion but the hibernation thing was meant to be an one time thing. Sonic just ended up in a hibernation state as a way to recover from something whatever made him become like Shadow.

It did make me imagine something related to this. Sonic possibly needing an inhibitor collar or inhibitor rings at some point because there were moments when he mistakenly drained himself quickly of energy. Sonic is able to do things within his limits but there were times that led to draining himself of extra energy he didn’t know about.(Caused by his new condition) It leads to Sonic ending up in a hibernation state again & scaring everyone until they learn his chaos energy levels are causing him to hibernate until they get back to an acceptable level.

Tails & Shadow talk to him about it after he wakes up again(they had enough chaos emeralds around to end his hibernation early & have chaos drives on hand now) before working on an inhibitor device to help prevent him from draining himself into another hibernation state. It takes some time getting use to them & Shadow having to check Sonic or having to track him down to put them on for Sonic to finally start getting in the habit of putting them on in the morning if he decides to remove them or just sleep with them on like Shadow does with his own.

Also kind of adorable to imagine Sonic during some of his hibernation states getting groomed by Shadow who is cuddling him. Maybe during some of times were Sonic ends up hibernation again especially due to low chaos energy levels Shadow is cuddling him in a pillow & blanket nest(I’m a sucker for nesting) & grooming Sonic’s fur while a chaos drive & the emerald Shadow keeps on hand are near by to help Sonic recover some energy while resting. Just the two being relaxed/comfy while Sonic recovers.

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 4

Day 4 was fear & insecurities/baby bump, this post is for the first one

I said Sonic's pregnancy with Venice was sad cause the dad wasn't there(because of Eggman) but the early stages of his pregnancy with Silver were a bit sad too.

The first pic/pic on the left is a slight aftermath/redraw of a DA post I made back in 2019.(LINK)

It's early into Sonic & Venice living with Shadow, while things are going well both Sonic & Venice are struggling a little still. Venice(who at the time this happened is at daycare) is scared to leave his mom thanks to Eggman hurting them & the fact Sonic left him with Vanilla in a moment were he was at his lowest. Sonic is still struggling with trauma from Eggman hurting him(along with struggling with his lack of eyesight) & past issues finally surfacing because he kept pushing some of them back.

After calming down Sonic admits he's scared he's failing Venice & unborn Silver as a mom. Sonic has a lot of insecurities thanks to past trauma, putting a facade on because of how people see him as a hero(Here & here for some posts were I explain them some) & just a lot of other issues that come from being on his own for a little too long. He has friend/family that care/help out but Sonic feels like a burden that causes anyone he gets close to to end up getting hurt eventually.(This has led to him pushing away or even never pursuing people he had romantic feelings for in the past, it's why he broke up with Knuckles)

Shadow can't help but get emotional over this, he's understood some of Sonic's feelings & also feels guilt for not being there until the night Sonic was at his worse. He never realized how much Sonic suffered & wishes he could done more sooner. The week after this happened Shadow was able to get Sonic in for a session with his(Shadow's) therapist before being assigned his(Sonic's) own as well as get Venice counseling/therapy. It wouldn't fix everything nor fix things right away but it was a step towards recovering.

Redrawing this for day 4 kind of made me think of a pic(LINK) I saw a while back. I guess technically my Sonic & Shadow are this but Sonic doesn't lash out. The idea of Shadow getting better while Sonic got worse is kind of different too for my thing.

Shadow while having issues still has been learning to recover & heal but Sonic has gotten worse because he tried to push his issues to the side until he broke. Sonic did his best to be there for Shadow & others, now Shadow is doing his best to help Sonic finally get the help he needs but has denied until now.

---

The second pic/pic on the right is after Shadow unknowingly rescued Mephiles & eventually allowed to stay with Shadow & Sonic while recovering.(Along Mephiles getting to spend time with Venice & get to know him since Mephiles is Venice's bio dad that was trapped the day Sonic ended up pregnant with Venice)

It's only been a few months since Sonic & Venice moved in with Shadow. Shadow & Sonic were engaged at this point while planning a wedding before the end of Sonic's pregnancy because Shadow wants his new family to use the resources he has thanks to GUN.(Such as better health insurance & stuff) While Sonic & Venice still have struggles they're doing better because Shadow helped them.(Especially thanks to taking them to therapy)

At the moment in this Sonic & Venice are asleep, Shadow came back from work & Mephiles is up still because he was helping while Shadow was gone as well as get use to being free again. Shadow despite allowing Mephiles to stay is hesitant because of the events from before the world was rebooted in the events of 06. Mephiles understands because he hates that version of himself due becoming a better version & getting the memories of the other him back.

The two hang out on a balcony area to talk about everything. Shadow admits he is worried about the future. He knows despite he & Sonic having mutual romantic feelings Shadow has taken things pretty fast due to having a child on the way & worrying for Sonic's health. I know I sound like a broken record(this needs to be mentioned & I also forgot where I was going with any of this I'm sorry) but Shadow though has managed start making up for his mistakes & grow closer to Sonic isn't over the fact his struggles with his feelings with Sonic led to not being able to help Sonic sooner. If he had been willing to listen to Sonic & Venice wouldn't have been hurt by Eggman, Sonic wouldn't be permanently injured & Venice wouldn't blame himself for being too small/young to save his mom.(Also given he's 3-4 years old & Sonic tried to keep him safe he's inexperienced with fighting)

Mephiles understands his worries & talks about his own worries along with the guilt from his past self's actions & not being there for Sonic & Venice despite having no control over that because Eggman trapped him. I'm not sure how to explain this especially since I've been working on typing this post on & off for a few days.(I also tried to cut down on some text but it didn't work) I've also been repeating myself a lot & need to move on from typing this.

The point is that Shadow & Mephiles talked things out, Mephiles helped Shadow out with his worries & started to bond. This led to Shadow talking to Sonic about Mephiles when he finally went to visit see Iblis & Elise. When he returned Shadow & Sonic talked to him about the idea of trying to make a relationship work between the three of them which Mephiles & Sonic talked about once or twice a long time ago.(Because Mephiles managed to get so close to Sonic before disappearing Sonic admitted his feelings about both & they talked about the idea of if he had to choose one eventually or the possibility the three could be together) Thanks to all this/talking things out Shadow with some help changes some things to the wedding which is how Sonic got two husbands.

They're still working things out but they're doing better & understand better that they can lean on each other.

This took way too long to type out & I dunno if I'm on topic anymore. Admittedly I know that the theme of the day was fears/insecurities about the pregnancy but I turned it into the pregnancy making them have to admit to each other their fears/insecurities caused by past events that make them worry about being parents & the future.

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 3

I was going to make a day 2 but ended up not doing it, technically this post from Month of Sonadow(LINK) was Sonic announcement(day 2's theme) to Shadow. They did eventually tell everyone, I might eventually draw something related to it.

Edit: I didn't realize I used the wrong link, I have now fixed it

Day 3 was ultrasound/cravings

This is some time after Shadow is in the picture & Sonic isn't as nervous about visible injuries. Sonic isn't as skittish about being at checkups anymore but Shadow still likes to hold his hand.

Eggman blinded Sonic early into his pregnancy with Silver so Sonic can't see which means Shadow & the doctor are the only ones able to see the ultrasound. I remembered there was a thing about 3D ultrasound images being made for blind parents so I imagine at one point Tails got the idea to try & make a 3D print for Sonic.

Sonic is pretty happy that he can in a way still see the ultrasound via touch. Shadow is enjoying Sonic getting excited over the 3D printed ultrasound. Sonic took his gloves off(and changed into more comfortable clothes, I didn't think to give him a different shirt when I drew the left side) after getting home, mobian gloves are meant to allow for feeling stuff despite covering their hands up but they're in the privacy of their own place.

Venice is at daycare right now but he's going to be excited to try feeling the ultrasound image when he gets home. He's been really excited about being a big brother ever since he found out about Silver.

Late Pregnant Sonic Week 2025 Day 1

Found more shit to make while struggling with exhaustion(again). The week is already up but I'm going to make some art cause it's a good excuse to draw & work on shit for my Lost Prince AU.

Day 1 was pregnancy test/breeding

I drew Sonic getting his test results from the doctor. He's scared because he knows he should try to talk to Shadow about the one night stand(Shadow at the time didn't want to talk about it due to struggling with denying his feelings) & also the fact that Sonic is a single mom trying to deal with life already. He's keeping the kid but he knows he's in for a rough time...

...He returns home & gets kidnapped by Eggman along side his son Venice.

His reaction here is a little better than his reaction to expecting Venice, to be fair Sonic was dealing with being a first time mom, a single mom & having to deal with the fact the father(Mephiles) was dead.(Eggman captured him & it wasn't until Sonic was pregnant with Silver did Mephiles get saved because Shadow found him somewhere)

I was going to draw two versions to be side by side, one was Sonic while he was pregnant with Venice & one were he was pregnant with Silver. I stayed with Sonic's pregnancy with Silver because it Venice's was a little sad because of Mephiles's disappearance.

The pregnancy with Silver was still a little traumatic(Eggman causing issues again) but it went a little better because Shadow was there after the first month.(Mephiles also returning)

Another Sonadow twins post(and Shiv)

Felt like drawing this, kind of messed up Elena's face a little but good enough.

Decided to draw my Sonadow twins again along side a new sibling named Shiv. Shiv is a friend of my @tay-likes-toons's movie Sonadow future fankid, I decided to draw Shiv in my Lost Prince AU/technical gameverse stuff.

This is kind of my interpretation of her from what my friend told me. I gave her a mix of my ver of Shadow & Sonic's bangs cause I don't draw the characters like a normal person & it felt off not adding at least a tuff of hair or something.(Obviously I went further) I didn't give her an amulet because I dunno what instrument Belle would think for Shiv & also kind of didn't feel like adding it.

I probably messed up the sizes but Shiv is a year older than the twins. In my Sonic stuff after Venice & Silver returned(Eggman kidnapped them & it took a few years to return) it took at least 2 years for Sonic to be willing to have more kids(losing his sons disheartened him from attempting to give them siblings).

In a ver were Shiv exists they ended up trying for another kid a year after their sons return & then 1-2 years later had the twins. Shiv & the twins are close in age.

Month of Sonadow 2025 Another Day 20

Taking a bit to work on things, sorry if anyone was curious for the rest of the Month of Sonadow posts, I keep having issues/other things to work on.

So after making day 20 I realized I could have made something super form or chao related. I don't have super forms setup but wanted to do chao stuff.

Day 20 was chaos & yeah this is for chao

I decided to draw Shadow & Sonic introducing Spices & Crescent to each other.

For context Spices is Sonic's childhood pet chao, he's a little derpy but loyal. I just thought it was funny if Sonic some how raised a Chaos chao & years later met Chaos. Crescent is a Shadow chao that's been altered due to training & is Sonic's service chao/emotional support chao that he got due to issues with his sight as well as due to PTSD.

This is after they brought Crescent home from the whatever place you adopt service animals(well in this case the chao instead of normal animals) from. Shadow had been preparing everything for Crescent being adopted/coming home but the last thing to prepare was Spices. Spices would probably be fine but he's lived without other chao(Cheese & Chocola don't count cause they visit) being there & is kind of weird.

Crescent isn't sure how to feel about their new housemate so just kind of tries to guard Sonic. Sonic has no idea what's going on & Shadow is just making sure everyone gets along.

Month of Sonadow 2025 Day 23

Last of the traditional sketches for now. Like I said in the Ena post I still have some digital sketches to work on before I'm done with Month of Sonadow.

Day 23 was flowers

I decided to draw Shadow & Sonic in the very far off future around the original Silver's time(200 years into the future). Something(probably the fact I finally realized he was from 200 years in the future) made me decide to work a little on what Shadow & Sonic are doing in this time as well as figure out Silver since I kind of imagine he some how shows up again in his original time.(it's not his original timeline since the timeline was fixed/changed but you get the point it's 200 years into the future) I'll talk about it in another post.

Before I explain shit the context of this pic is that Shadow got off work in time for a picnic with his family. The area is surrounded by flowers & the kids really enjoy gathering/messing with the flowers which includes gathering a lot to take home, making flower crowns & sticking them on their mother who can't fully see all of them.

My version of Sonic thanks to his dad experimenting with Chaos energy to heal Sonic caused him to be immortal like Shadow. Thanks to this Shadow doesn't have to say goodbye to Sonic & won't be alone as time goes on since he can't die. While both are sad that they lost friends/family over time thanks to them being mortals(some of Shadow & Sonic's kids either didn't inherit the immortality or had mortal lovers & thanks to Chuck cheated immortality so they could stay with said lover) but they live on in their memories.(Shadow & Sonic are also still a part of their descendants' lives) Mephiles is still around & part of their relationship but I'm not going to bring him up much because this is meant to be Sonadow related.

Some time back when their friends/family were still alive Shadow helped Sonic regain some of his vision. It took a while to get as far as he could because trauma led to Sonic being unable to stay still enough for Shadow to heal him with a chaos emerald. Sonic needs glasses & his vision isn't the best but he can see again.(Crescent helps out still especially since Sonic still has issues & Crescent also doubles as an emotional support chao on top of being a service chao)

At some point Shadow & Sonic decided to have kids again(they kind of realized nothing was exactly stopping them & they wanted to be parents again) & ended up with another pair of twins. These twins are inspired by prototype designs for Shadow in fact one of them is Terios from one of my Sonadowtober posts.(LINK) Because I involve Mephiles the daughter based on one design is his while Terios is Shadow's but obviously in a Sonadow only ver they're both Shadow's.

Sonic took the kids to their annual graveyard visit were they visit past friends/family's graves & end the visit with a picnic at Maria & their older kids' graves which are surrounded by a field of flowers at this point. Maria’s grave always has flowers there so the kids think she makes them for when they visit which often leads to picking flowers to take home & make flower crowns.

Shadow has work(I dunno if GUN is still around, I dunno what he's doing) but joins his family when he's done.(Mephiles joins them as well but again he's not the focus in this so not much mention) The kids are happy he's in time for the picnic & have a lot of flowers for him that they didn't stick in their mom's quills yet.

Shadow can't help but be happy to see his family. He's had a rough life with both he & Sonic have a lot of struggles but he's over time made peace with the things & while still kind of the Shadow we all know Sonic & friends/family know he cares about them. In this moment of visiting his late loved ones graves & his family honoring their memories by visiting them/living on he can't help but feel grateful that Sonic helped him have the life he has now.

Month of Sonadow 2025 Day 26

Day 26 was hobbies

I have a long explanation for this image but the context without explaining what's going on is that Sonic is helping Shadow raise his younger brother Eclipse. Eclipse has no idea what a normal life is since he was awakened recently before Shadow destroyed the Black Arms army.

Sonic got Eclipse into the hobby of aquarium keeping, Eclipse is kind of young but Sonic kind of starts some things early. I messed up the angle so it's hard to show Eclipse watching the fish tank while happily clinging to his new friend.

So the idea is that for whatever reason Black Doom made Eclipse(or had someone in his army or whatever make them) as a backup if getting Shadow on his side didn't work.(Instead of like in the comics were he was made by some the new leader or whoever of what some how remained of the Black Arms) For whatever reason Eclipse ended up being very young & I think he was taken out of the test tube early. Shadow for some reason ended up choosing to spare & adopt Eclipse when he destroyed the Black Arms at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Sonic decided to help Shadow raise Eclipse since Sonic has experience raising a younger sibling.(As well as helping babysit one) Because of these changes it led to Shadow & Sonic growing closer sooner than in the main ver thanks to bonding over raising Shadow's little sibling.(Kind of funny since Shadow went from little brother for Maria to older brother/adopted dad for Eclipse)

Sonic ended up getting little Eclipse into the aquarium hobby, got them a fish tank & helps them raise fish. It's hard to see but I drew balloon lumpfish because I was watching a video & thought it'd be interesting if they had some. Eclipse is a happy child watching the fish with their best friend & future BIL, Eclipse has taken to wrapping their tail around Sonic's arm as a sign of affection.

Shadow is working on paperwork, apparently there's a lot of paperwork he needs to work on to have a life in modern day times.(I dunno how to explain shit) Towers & Rouge are helping him with some of the paperwork but he still has some stuff to deal with on top of registering himself & Eclipse as citizens of where ever the fuck they are plus documents that say he's Eclipse's legal guardian.

He's almost done & can't help but be happy to see Sonic be a part of Eclipse's life. He's grown fond of the two & enjoys seeing when Sonic spends time with the two black arms siblings.

It feels a little odd drawing present day Shadow & Sonic because most of my art for Month of Sonadow has been with future versions of them. Because Shadow is immortal he hasn't changed much so I made his bangs longer & sometimes his clothes change. Sonic though also immortal in my stuff is easier to tell the difference due to actually having his appearance(clothing & hair wise) change over time & Eggman's torture that blinded/scarred him also adds to things.(Along with Sonic further in the future eventually getting some of his eye sight back) To be fair I focused more on Sonic so some of his designs have more planning & haven't really focused on Shadow much though I feel like he wears a few similar looking things until later on.(I'll maybe work on this eventually)
