I know everyone (rightfully) focuses on Knuckles as the last survivor of his tribe growing up with almost no concrete knowledge about the culture he belongs to but can we put that aside for a second to focus on Tikal.

Imagine growing up with your tribe constantly at war. Imagine watching your own father disregard your warnings about how damage he is causing and having to sacrifice yourself to keep your tribe from being destroyed and being completely helpless to influence the outside world for the next three THOUSAND years. Imagine being forever young in the worst way possible.

Imagine watching you tribe decline over the centuries until there is only one person left. Imagine watching the murals and memorials and history be eroded by the very world you protected until the original intentions and meanings are all but lost. Imagine watching your one successor fumble his way through life, be tricked and manipulated by someone seeking to use the thing you are trapped inside for the type of destruction you fought against. Imagine watching him waste his life away guarding you instead of living for himself.

Imagine watching him find friends. Imagine watching him change for the better because of those friends. Imagine him finding a purpose.

Imagine being released. Imagine meeting his friends and trying to ask them to do a terrible thing that you had to do yourself once.

Imagine being changed the same way he was.

Hm? Ian Flynn, the writer that worked on Frontiers, will work on this remaster too, you say?

Flynn? From Frontiers? With those cutscenes between Sonic and Knuckles?

Fascinating... 👀👀👀

I needed to draw this headcannon about my favorite joke from the entire franchise.

Also, I want to see little Shadow and Maria just being little gremlin children.
