#Buntoine family

[garabako]

Marión accompanies her big brother to one of his group therapy sessions🦔✨

[mischeva]

fuck it ! bunntoine family tree 💪

A big chunk of the credit and headcanons goes to my bestie @magnetisticc such as the take of Vanilla and Bunnie being related, the designs for Antoine’s parents + Armand Jr. and Mariemae.

So yeah! Big old family in which most of the family is dead now lol

[moon-drop-grape]

Got any Freedom Fighter Headcannons or Reimagings you would like to share?

oh shit an ask uh, alright!

well this AU is still in a very early stage but i know that chronologically the satAM stuff takes place early on, and after it is essentially gonna be whatever mishmash of archie, IDW, game canon, and whatever else i can grab

as for specific freedom fighters?

- i made bunnie a lesbian for one (i don't wanna just go with buntoine like literally everyone else)

- antoine gets to have his sword as a treat

- you saw the sallicole doodle probably, that's also part of this AU

- i know rotor being gay barely had anything to support it in canon but i'm taking that and putting it here

- no clue what to do with dulcy yet

- sonic is still sonic

- i also have designs for beauregard and lulumae, putting the rabbot family together

- and i'm working on a short comic about my own take on the freedom fighters meeting bunnie (EDIT: THIS PARTICULAR POINT IS TAKING A WHILE BECAUSE I'M FOCUSING ON OTHER THINGS)

can you tell bunnie is my favorite lmao

anyway uh i had a lot more to say than i thought i did, thanks for the ask!

[seagull-scribbles]

Heard you ask for Antoine and Bunny headcanons, etc. Not a headcanon but they're definitely fruity the way Gomez and Morticia are.

You are so right bestie 💕

a crossover au i’d love to see them in: MLP/Sonic when?

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn:

[robotnik-mun]

Antoine D'Coolette

favorite thing about them

The fact that despite him clearly being terrified out of his mind, he still risks his life going into Robotropolis on a regular basis. His character development in the comics slowly has him get over this, and this is indeed a very good thing, but what a lot of people don’t really think about is the fact that while he IS a scaredy cat... he’s a scaredy cat who willingly endangers himself to help his friends and to try and liberate his planet against an insane dictator. For all of his myriad flaws, that’s pretty damned impressive all the same. 

least favorite thing about them

Their increased buffoonery in SatAM’s second season. It was gratuitous and made Antoine look like an imbecile. 

favorite line

Hmmm.... nothing immediately springs to mind, so in lieu of that I’m just gonna have a favorite moment- his last meeting with his father in the comics. 

brOTP

I like to envision him as having this with Rotor. I feel as though Rotor is the guy the others come to when they have problems, and Antoine tends to especially need his help given his insecurities and issues with Sonic a lot of the time. 

OTP

Buntoine. All the way, now and forever. 

nOTP

Antoine/Patch. Even ignoring the MYRIAD ethical issues brought up by being with an alternate version of yourself, Patch murdered his father and gleefully tried to ruin his life. I can’t imagine anything existing between the two other than pure, unadulterated hatred. 

random headcanon

Antoine’s fearful, fretful personality is the direct result of the trauma experienced when Mobotropolis fell. Antoine is so afraid a lot of the time because deep down, he doesn’t believe that anyone is ever truly safe- the loss of his home and his family and being forced to hide in the wilderness like an animal has left him constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. 

unpopular opinion

The implied reason for him getting the scar and the new demeanor post Tossed-in-Space (some unidentified trauma leading him to ‘get serious’) was not in of itself a bad idea and could have led to some interesting developments, had it been explored and had it not eventually been revealed that he’d been switched with his evil twin all along. 

song i associate with them

Well, this is less Antoine in general and more like Antoine in a specific context, buuuut....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39TRUxULCRY

It’s the same voice actor, and its EXACTLY the kind of thing Antoine would sing to Bunnie as a serenade. YOU CANNOT JUDGE ME. 

favorite picture of them

I always got a kick out of the cover image from issue 112.

Sonic OVA/SatAM merging

OVA stuff remains largely unchanged; Sonic and Tails are both their OVA forms, live in land of the Sky. Robotnik is also OVA here. One change, though; no weird desire for him and Sara to marry. That’s freaking weird man. SatAM stuff that remains: • Kingdom of Acorn, and thus the family of Acorn by extension o Robotnik advisor? Or just takes over? • Freedom Fighters, though they might not be Freedom Fighers persay • Maybe some other SatAM places and characters SatAM stuff that is different: • No Great Forest, or rather it’s a now ironic name • Kingdom of Acorn now Robotnik land? Or maybe just turned into a factory • FF differences just going off SatAM o Antoine  Lost his family sabre; greatly saddened by this (not sure if it’s a family sword in show but heck it, it adds character to the guy) o Bunnie  Roboticizer doesn’t exist? So far as I know? If it’s still made by Uncle Chuck, then maybe freak accident; will cover this under Chuck • May not actually be a “Rabbot” • Give her a power-fist, or a caestus or something  She gets more screen time, so to speak o Chuck  Does he invent Roboticizer? Does roboticizer have some function here? Is he a robot?  Not Sonic’s Uncle…or is he? • Probably not even related o Nicole  Might potentially bring in another interpretation I have of her, where’s she’s a lynx girl, not an AI • Probably not though.  Able to access ancient computer systems, at risk of catching virues or disturbing ancient AIs o Rotor  He’s useful • No seriously I don’t see much point in changing the guy other than giving him more screen time o Sally  More doubt ridden, insecure than show  Isn’t fighting to take back throne and kingdom at this point so much as just trying to keep her friends alive.  What the fuck is romance • No time for it, gotta keep her small band alive. Archie/game stuff that maybe gets added in? I don’t know: • Buntoine? Wasn’t too much in show as I recall o Maybe imply it. • Battle Birbs; sure they’re actually from Tails patrol but it’d make sense for them to be around • Sallicole? o Definitely if going with alternate interpretation; maybe if going with more SatAM/Archie Nicole

Two Left Feet

Author’s Note: @nuttyrabbit I died like 15 times trying to make this

Series: Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics)

Pairing: Antoine/Bunnie (Buntoine I think)

Length: 796 words

Rating: Safe kinda. Theres a suggestive something at the end I guess

Bunnie’s ears perked up once she heard the classical music playing. Antoine must have wanted some ambiance for the night. Her curiosity piqued when he approached her.

 “Dance with me.”

 Antoine’s request was sudden. Even more surprising was how calm and composed he was as he said it. Bunnie Rabbot-D’Coolette, lounging on her chair, was more surprised than confused. Her husband gave her a relaxed and reassuring smile, bowing to her level and extending his hand to her. After a few moments of quaint silence, Bunnie replied with a dignified and intellectual response.

 “Why?”

 She meant no ill will, only curious at his unexpected behavior. Antoine merely shrugged, beaming a loving smile to his lovely wife. “A man can dance with his love, non?”

 Flattered, Bunnie returned his smile. She took his hand, watching as Antoine shifted her to a waltz position; his right hand at her hip and his left entwined with her right hand. Bunnie shifted somewhat uncomfortably.

 “Erm...I’m not too sure ‘bout this, sugah-Twan.” she was never particularly versed in the waltz. “I don’t think these legs were built fer dancin’.” she looked down to her mechanical legs; a constant reminder that she needed to be wary. One wrong step could break his, or anyone’s, feet in seconds.

 Antoine still grinned brightly. His head craned slightly upwards to lock eyes with her. She loved whenever he did that. It made her feel majestic, the way he’d gaze and marvel at her up close.  “Ah but ma cherie, zere is nothing to zink about.”

 She could tell he was doing that on purpose. His accent never failed to tickle her. Still, she found herself conflicted. “Mmm...I dunno if I should. Or can fer that matter.”

 Antoine chuckled. And they called him the skittish one. “Allow me to lead, mon amour.”

 The music continued. A slow and steady pace that Antoine followed.

 Un...deux...trois...

 Un...deux...trois...

 Their hands entwined, Antoine led them around the living room in a waltz. His steps were immaculate, pristine as he maintained eye contact with his wife. Bunnie, albeit clumsily, followed his movements.

 They moved at a slow pace. Antoine was most likely allowing her to feel comfortable first. He maintained a calm pace, all while positioning himself accordingly with their difference in height.

 As the two locked eyes, Bunnie could see. Antoine was happy. He was overjoyed that he was able to share this moment with her. Bunnie felt the same. In their crazy lives where survival was not guaranteed, where they fought ongoing battles and struggle for their freedom, it was difficult to find room for happiness.

 That didn’t stop them.

 They were still together. Whether dancing in their living room or in the front lines with the Freedom Fighters. They were married and that’s all that mattered in the end.

 Bunnie began following his movements with fervor. Their pace quickened and Antoine beamed. They dipped and dived, Antoine holding Bunnie in his arms, their unspoken trust the only communication they needed. Blissful silence, the two of them merely enjoying each other’s company.

 Bunnie twisted and twirled in beat to the music. She moved to the rhythm much like her husband did. The world around them disappeared. The music left them entranced. Their problems faded away, leaving only a burning love, care, and devotion the two shared for each other.

 Antoine’s eyes locked with hers. He saw his dreams, his future with this woman. Settling down in Knothole, raising a family with her, days and nights of blissful peace and joy. It seemed like an eternity away but with Bunnie at his side, it couldn’t be any more worth it.

 His train of thought broke as he now found himself at Bunnie’s mercy. She dipped him effortlessly, Bunnie’s natural, roboticized strength toying him with ease. He was suddenly facing upward, treated to the half-lidded eyes of one smug rabbit. “Trè-très bien.” Antoine squeaked, as his face lit scarlet.

 Bunnie lifted him, twirling her husband off his feet. Her natural strength never ceased to impress. As the song faded, their lips met. They embraced, thankful to whatever divine power that allowed them to savor this moment.

 They reluctantly separated, satisfied enough to longingly gaze at each other. “Shall we be dancing again, chère?”

 “Actually, I had a different kind of ‘dance’ we could do.” Bunnie winked, her voice smooth as velvet. Her eyes now half lidded as her arms wrapped around her husband’s shoulders. “If yer willin’, sugah-Twan.”

 Her answer came in the form of the coyote hefting her up in a sudden burst of strength and whisking her off to her quarters.

Archie Sonic- Who I Ship

OKAY, so after looking through my posts, I think I need to clarify who I actually ship, at least in the Archie Sonic universe. This includes both the rebooted and original continuities, and the list is... long. Buckle up.

Preboot

Sonally (Sonic x Sally)

Knuxsu (Knuckles x Julie Su)

Taimy (Tails x Amy)

Scourgiona (Scourge x Fiona)

Shardicole (Shard x Nicole)

Khanally (Monkey Khan x Sally- but only sort of. Sonally has been and probably always will be my OTP. But I still do support and fangirl over this ship occasionally~)

Buntoine (Bunnie x Antoine)

Alipatch (Alicia x Patch- not sure if this is even shipped by anyone but me but hey whatevs)

Snivina (Snively x Regina)

Minash (Mina x Ash)

Blazemega (Blaze x Omega- my one true crackship)

Rosfrog (Rosy x Flying Frog- because let’s face it, these psychos were made for each other.)

In the preboot, I headcanon Rotor as ace and Shadow as being ace or at least aromantic. And Blaze... I really only crackship her with Omega because their interaction in Treasure Team Tango made me laugh. 

Reboot

Shadally (Shadow x Sally)

Knuxamy (Knuckles x Amy)

Buntwan (Bunnie x Antoine but with a different spelling lol)

Silvold (Silver x Gold)

Tailsream (Tails x Cream)

In the reboot, I headcanon Rotor, Sonic and Blaze as ace, Sonic because the comics seem to be heading closer to the games (where I also see him as ace) and Blaze because she simply doesn’t seem at all interested in romance or sexual relations. Same for Rotor.

And then there’s the topic of bromances, or Brotp’s. Hoo boy... (yeah, I don’t ship any of these guys romantically. I hate it when I see these awesome bromances being forced or misinterpreted as romance. If you like them as romantic pairings, that’s fine, but I just... don’t.)

Preboot

Sonic and Tails

Sonic and Shadow

Sally and Nicole

Sally and Bunnie

Sally and Amy

Mighty and Ray

Blaze and Marine

Shadow and Rouge

Shadow and Maria

Shadow and Cream (”The Ultimate Babysitter!”)

Shadow and Amy

The SSS squad (Shadow, Sonic, and Silver- not seeing any romance here)

Alicia and Miles (although they’re really bordering on frenemies/allies who want to kill each other)

All the Babylon Rogues (don’t really see any inter-team romance happening here, but I do see a lot of close friendships)

Espio and Charmy

Knuckles and Tikal

Amy and Cream

Matilda and The Baron (but I see this as more my One True Family)

Rotor and Nicole (yeah, I know I used to ship these two as an OTP, but when I really analyze it, I’ve just stopped seeing the appeal. I prefer these two being fond of each other, in familial sort of way)

Cream and Cheese

Reboot

A lot of the same from the preboot. I haven’t been keeping up with the reboot as much as I’d like to, so I don’t really have any new Brotp’s to list, with the exception of Knuckles and Relic.

And I think that about wraps things up. if you don’t agree with some of these ships reblog or shoot me and ask telling me why! I’d love to see what your opinions are on the matter.

[nuttyrabbit]

Even if you've never been in a relationship, I think you can have enough common sense to tell what is toxic in a relationship and what's not. Disagreements and debates? Normal. Beat the snot out of one another or constantly putting down your partner? NOT NORMAL.

You’d be surprised how media and family can fuck up perceptions of what healthy relationships looked like. For the longest time I was worried that Buntoine wasn’t a good couple because they didn’t fight enough

The Antoine and Bunnie Retrospective - 131

“Hero to Zero In No Time At All” Sink or Spin I - Sonic the Hedgehog #150

Great, now I got that song from Hercules stuck in my head. 

Today’s story involves Sonic taking a sudden interest in the ladies. Only it’s not really Sonic, it’s Scourge the Anti-Sonic. He hits on a bunch of the women of Knothole, including Bunnie. 

I see Bunnie’s self esteem issues popping up again.

 Also, why do you care Tails? What does “Sonic” and Bunnie dating have to do with you? Do you secretly have a crush on Sonic as well? Or are you just a hard core Buntoine shipper? 

Now, logically you would think Bunnie would call things off here insisting “Sonic” go talk with Tails. But nope. 

Now there’s a pretty popular interpretation of this scene, suggesting Bunnie and Scourge had sex during the time skip. It’s an interpretation that I fully reject for several reasons and here’s why. 

I don’t give two shits what Penders’ original intent was, what he said after the fact, and/or weather or not he failed to deny this headcannon. At the end of the day I’m the one reading this. At the end of the day it’s my head cannon that counts when I’m reading. Not the one someone else came up with. And at some point you have to separate the author/artist from the work itself. 

If sex was the original intent it’s very poorly presented. Like, I was a full grown adult when I first read this scene and it didn’t occur to me that that was what the writer was trying to convey, and I highly doubt any little kids reading at the time would have considered it as well. 

I mean Bunnie’s not an idiot. Sure she makes knee-jerk decisions at times but sex on the first date seems pretty off. Especially when she was just berating “Sonic” for trying to make out after Tails got upset. What kind of sense does that make? Also, I’m no expert, but I don’t see any articles of clothing removed or mussed up hair or any of that messy stuff that comes with sex. It just seems like a leap in logic to me to automatically assume they did it, is what I’m saying. 

We’re not even sure if Bunnie can have sex. Like we do find out later she is physically intimate with her husband, but in what way or to what extant is still left in the air. This is in part due to comic’s target audience being children and also because Bunnie’s robotics have never been clearly defined in how they work. And granted there is an interesting discussion to be had about her cybernetics and how they effect her love life but I’m saving that for a future review when its more appropriate.  

This is still a kid’s comic! If Scourge did have sex with Bunnie it would qualify as rape because of false pretenses. Rape has no place in children’s media. Now I fully realize that Penders is oblivious to that fact and can’t tell his ass from his elbow, but the rest us know better. Why make yourselves more miserable then you have too by insisting this a thing that happened? The comic by no means shoves this interpretation down you’re throat, nor does it make any claims to be edgier than it is. If you see something that isn’t actually there than that’s all on you. 

Now a head cannon is still a head cannon, and you’re allowed to keep which ever ones you want. Even if it flummoxes me personally as to why you would keep this particular one. However for myself, personally, I just see it as Bunnie and Scourge making out and nothing more. Sure it’s still sleazy on Scourge’s part and it’s still a stupid decision on Bunnie’s end, but at least it’s something everyone can walk away from with some amount of dignity.  

Anyways now that that’s out of way, let’s get down to the real reason why we’re here. No doubt, if you haven’t figured it out yet, Ken Penders is today’s author and we finally get the reveal that “Antione” has been Patch all along. 

Also pretty convenient that you shaved off his goatee with that sonic spin as well.

Now this is where I was getting at when I said you have to separate the creator from the work sometimes. I’ve noticed a growing trend where people let what an artist did or say in real life retroactively ruin a piece of art that they once enjoyed. Does that mean we should give creators a free pass when they do awful shit? Of course not! By all means continue calling Penders out on his bullshit, don’t let anyone forget that Woody Allen is a pedophile and a rapist, and always let the Chris Brown apologists know they are in the wrong. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop watching Annie Hall if you like it, or that you can no longer sing loudly to "No Air". (Note: I hate Annie Hall and I enjoy “No Air” but I don’t really listen to Chris Brown regularly. I’m just providing examples) 

Nor does it mean you have to rip to shred every single thing Penders writes. I don’t care if Penders made a sexiest comment about Lupe once, I still think  "Lupe: Family" is a decent story. I don’t give a damn if he claimed Rotor is gay, I’m still going to headcannon him as ace anyways. And I will always defend Ken’s decision to retcon Evil-Antoine into Anti-Antoine. Even if the way he went about it was extremely douchey. 

Ya see, Penders didn’t “win out” because he had the best idea, he won because he went behind Bollers’ back and published this story before Bollers could even start on his original plans. Like, is that not the epitome of dickbaggery you’ve ever heard of? Hell yeah! Does that mean I wish Bollers got fair chance to tell his story? Hell no! 

I’ve discussed in length back in issue 137 why Bollers plans for Antoine were crap, but the long and short of it is; if Bollers had his way Antoine’s character would have been assassinated beyond repair. Years of character development down the drain all for the sake of cheap, forced drama. But with Penders idea, not only does it keep Antoine’s development intact but actually builds upon it; adding new backstory to potentially explore and new hardships for Twan to overcome and grow from. 

There’s also the added bonus of creating a new and very effective villain in Patch, while simultaneously giving Ant an arch nemesis. The fact that this all can be traced back to Scourge seeking revenge on Antoine for his embarrassment in #122 is just icing on the cake. 

Now that doesn’t mean this story is without flaws. I’ve already talked about Tails’ weird freak out and that poorly laid out scene involving Bunnie and Scourge, but there’s also an icky romance between Rouge and Locke (eww) made even worse by later writers trying to pair her with Knuckles, and a confusing lack of continuity. Like with Sally suddenly having short hair or this scene.....

Umm...Antoine was trapped in Anti-Mobuis for at least 6 months or more and Scrouge only just now got the idea to come over to Mobius and take Sonic’s place. It also took Patch several months to earn King Max’s favor. Why would Twan just randomly be in Scourge’s room spying on Patch? Shouldn’t the scene with Patch receiving the promotion from King Max be after the whole threatening Ant scene? Doesn’t that flow better? Or is Scourge just torturing poor Antoine by forcing him to helplessly watch Patch ruin his life. Yeah you know, I wouldn’t put it past him to do that. 

Oh man, does this mean Scourge has been forcing Twan to keep the disguise on this whole time? Like I just thought he did it as a way to keep the Suppression Squad from killing him out right, but nope apparently Scourge has been threatening him all for his own personal amusement. I guess that explains why he didn’t just run away or try to receive help from the good Doctor. That’s kind of horrifying, especially considering that he would have been forced to join in on the Suppression Squad’s escapades. And considering that they’re villains, well you can imagine that their idea of fun involves lots of violence.  

That’s sadly why we’ll never see Antoine’s time in Anti-Mobius fully explored. To do so would get very dark and disturbing very quickly. But still, my poor baby! 

The second story this issue is the second half of “The Chosen One” arc. The whole Tails is the Chosen One thing started way back in the Tails mini-series. Penders and company thought it would be a good idea to wrap up the sixth milestone by concluding this dangling plot thread and tying up the loose ends of the Zone Wars series. Not a bad idea in of itself, but it falls apart when the whole thing turns into a retread of “Night of a Thousand Sonics”. 

I can fully understand why someone would hate this story, but for me it’s one of those “so bad it’s entertaining” type tales.   

I mean just look at this! That is a thing of beauty right there! You couldn’t ask for a more shitposting meme worthy image even if you tried! 

Next week will do the usual 25 recap and then continue on with the Sink or Swim arc after that.
