#STC answers questions

[fleetsonourgecentral]

I suddenly remember That you never told us how a meeting between Prime/Archie! Sonic and Fleetway (Amnesiac/Good) Super Sonic would go.

Also I want to read Fleetway Sonic and scourge reactions if They somehow end Up dating (I like Fleetonic and I need something to draw lol)

I imagine any meeting between Prime and Super would likely come after Prime has already had the misfortune of meeting Sonic, and subsequently had at least one (1) argument about Super. If the argument hasn't already happened by the time Prime and Super meet, it's definitely imminent. I imagine Prime would be a lot more forgiving of Super than Sonic is (partly because he just doesn't have the same baggage Sonic does and partly because he's just overall less of a dick) so he'd be sympathetic to his plight. He'd be much quicker to believe Super when he says he doesn't want to be that evil person who hurts and kills people for fun. Sonic would scoff and call him a trusting idiot, but it's not that Prime is oblivious to or ignoring the danger that Super can cause, he just doesn't believe dogpiling the guy about it will actually help his situation

Sonic's reaction to finding out they're dating would just be more "I think you're fucking stupid" or, depending on how not-awful his relationship with Super is, just a quiet scoff. He probably tells Prime that if he's soooo fond of Super, then he can take Super with him back to his dimension, but he's probably also secretly worried about Prime actually following through, because if anything goes wrong, Sonic isn't there to help stop it. Chaos energy in the fleetway dimension is fucky and corrupted; for all his bitching and "don't come crying to me if he tries to kill all your friends", Sonic doesn't actually want another universe to suffer from that corrupted energy. He definitely doesn't want the chaos energy in the prime zone to become corrupted the same way his was, either

I can't imagine Scourge has much emotional attachment to Super to care too much. Like, he sees a part of himself in Super, specifically in how both of their identities used to be tied to Sonic, but he doesn't like that he can relate to Super. He doesn't hate or dislike him, but he definitely doesn't like him, either. He just often ends up being the one Ebony calls for out of everyone else in the freedom fighters because he's the one with the least amount of history with Super, so Super doesn't put him on edge the same way he does everyone else. So if Super started dating Prime, he'd probably just make some snarky comment about weak-hearted goody-two-shoes flocking together

Ultimately, the two of them together will probably mock the relationship. They probably only find out because one of them comes home and immediately starts bitching about how "did you HEAR Super and Prime are dating now???" and then they spend an hour talking shit about them. After all, even if Sonic has warmed up to Super a little, he probably still doesn't trust him or is comfortable being around him, and Scourge is a stubborn fucker who won't change his mind about disliking Prime out of sheer spite, so neither Prime nor Super have much of Sonic and Scourge's respect

ASK HIM EVERYTHING, SEIFUKEI IS READY FOR A QNA, AND HE NEED'S YOUR QUESTION!!

Overall I thought it was really good! Of course some arcs are better than than others, and some of the smaller one-off stories (especially the Tails ones) were a tad formulaic and boring.

But ooooohhhh when StC is good it is GOOD. I loved a lot of the StC exclusive characters, such as Tekno and Ebony, as well as their interpretations of some of the game characters.

Oh, and can I praise Richard Elson’s artwork for being fantastic? He was definitely my favourite StC artist and there were so many pages and panels done by him that I would happily display on my walls as art prints.

Plus: reading the comic with my experience of being a UK resident was great since I had the novelty of seeing all these niche cultural references that i was able to recognise. It also makes me wonder actually what uk accents everyone in the comic would have.

These thoughts are all a bit scatterbrained since there’s so much to talk about with StC haha. But yeah, I would recommend that people should read it

As for StC Online I do intend on reading it, I just want to finish writing and queuing the remaining posts for the Fleetway liveblog ( @zippy-reacts) first. As an aside, i won’t be liveblogging STCO, I’ll just read it on my own time, but if i have thoughts on it maybe i’ll share them

As of last night I’ve finally finished reading Fleetway/Sonic the Comic!

Now that spoilers are no longer an issue for me, I’m looking to follow blogs that post about StC, anyone got any recommendations? 👀

SO HERE'S A VERY FLUFFY(?) fic i wrote as like an apology and compensation. you don't have to have read stc to understand this fic, it can be just read on it's own! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT <33 i appreciate you all.

For a moment, Chenle’s brows lowered, his frown casting a shadow across his whole face. He stopped with his fork halfway to his mouth, staring down at the mille-feuille piled high on it. He looked like he was thinking really hard about something, but what was it?

"Hey, Chenle.-"

Chenle suddenly broke into laughter

"What the-- why are you suddenly laughing like that?"

"Oh, nothing. I remembered one of our earlier conversations about the story of Cinderella and I was just thinking Cinderella sounds a lot like you."

"How so?"

Chenle snickered, "I can totally imagine you carelessly losing a glass slipper, panicking, and running away right before the prince's eyes, one shoe off, one shoe on."

"I wouldn't do that! I mean... I probably wouldn't." Okay, you could kind of see yourself panicking and doing something rash, but did he really have to point it out?

Chenle and you were currently engaged in a small feast of afternoon tea in Shanghai. There was an upcoming party he needed to attend as the successor to Zhong Enterprises and you decided to accompany him.

His beautiful smile had a suggestive edge to it, and you pouted, dropping your gaze. You reached for your teacup to distract yourself, but before you could pick it up, his long, elegant fingers wrapped around yours. "Well, if I was the prince, I wouldn't be stupid enough to let Cinderella get away from me like that.”

"Chenle." His smile was smug and sure as he squeezed your fingers, and you couldn't stop staring at him. He was just so sure of himself in everything. Although knowing him, you bet he’d probably succeed, too.

You started giggling, and Chenle’s smile instantly dissolved into a dissatisfied pout. "Hey. What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing. I was just imagining what you'd be like if you really were the prince.”

"Me?"

"If a prince as amazing as you were to appear at the ball.. I bet even Cinderella wouldn't care if the magic wore off at midnight, so long as she could stay with you." To be honest, if you were Cinderella you know you’d feel that way. Even if the magic wore off and you went back to your cinder-covered self, so long as you could stay with your prince–

The fingers holding tightly to yours let go, all of a sudden. You looked up in surprise, and found yourself staring at cheeks as red as fresh strawberries. As soon as your eyes met, he looked away quickly, refusing to meet your gaze again. Is he blushing? Geez, so adorable.

"Did you like being referred to as a prince?"

"Like-- would I- as if l'd-- not a chance! Although if you mean that I have all the fine qualities of a prince, then I can understand where you're coming from. But the only other person suited to being a prince besides me would be Renjun, you know." You couldn’t disagree with that. Renjun definitely had a princely aura that surrounded him.

You couldn't help but grin as you watched the conflicting expressions flitting across Chenle’s face. Being with him makes it so easy for you to forget all about being nervous.

You’re going to be just fine at the party, because Chenle will be there with you. Time seemed to fly by as the two of you relaxed and enjoyed your afternoon tea together. We were both smiling and happy as we stepped out of the cafe again.

"Ahh, those delicious cakes always give me back my energy! But I guess..." You turned to Chenle with a smile, about to suggest we head home, but you stopped mid-sentence as you saw how strained his

expression was.

"I just remembered something I need to do. You wait here."

"What? Right here?"

"Yes. Got it? Don't move so much as a single step until I come back." Chenle turned and began to stride away, casting one last dubious look over his shoulder as he walked off into the distance.

He worries too much. Where would you go, anyway? And what's so important that he suddenly has to rush off like that? You smiled to yourself, shaking your head as you turned to look in the windows of the nearby shops while you waited.

"Hey, did you hear? Chenle’s going to be attending the next formal party!"

You glanced in the direction of the voice, and saw several stylish young women sitting at one of the cafe's outdoor tables, chatting over tea. I couldn't help being curious, and You sidled a little closer, pretending to stare in another shop window as you listened.

"He sometimes attends parties in his position as ‘Zhong Chenle’, but--"

"It's rare for him to attend as the Zhong Enterprises heir, isn't it?"

"It is. Which means this is our chance to audition for the role of the future Mrs. Zhong!"

You're after Chenle? All of you?! From the little mandarin Chenle had taught you, you could kind of put together what they were saying. You pressed your lips together, your heart pounding uneasily in your chest.

"But I heard that Chenle’s got a girlfriend, and she came here from Stanford just for him."

"Who cares? The magic of love doesn't last forever, you know."

"That's right. She'll get bored soon enough and go back to America. She was never good enough for him to begin with."

Your whole body went cold as they all burst out laughing, and you barely heard their next words as the conversation moved on to clothes shopping. You’ll never get bored of Chenle, not in a million years, and you know he feels the same way. You can hold your head high and say that with pride. But... Right now you’re already so nervous just from the idea of wearing a pretty dress and attending a formal party. You and Chenle are from different worlds, and… you don't have the confidence yet to say that they're wrong, and that you ARE good enough for him.

The women's words filled your heart with an aching doubt that stayed with you over the next few days.

— 

At last the day of the party arrived.

You were wearing the most beautiful dress you’d ever owned, and yet you couldn't bring yourself to smile at your reflection in the mirror. You bet half the young noblewomen in Shanghai are vying for the spot of Mrs. Zhong. They all want to push you aside so they can stand at his side.

You know you love Chenle more than all of them combined, but--

"Y/N? I'm coming in.” There was a knock at the door, and you turned quickly as Chenle stepped into the room carrying a small box. "It looks like you're read...y." Chenle set the box down as he spoke, but as soon as he looked at you, he froze.

He just stood there, staring at you, and you couldn't make sense of his expression, but the longer the silence dragged out, the more nervous you felt. "Do I look weird, or."

"Did I say that?! No! No, I didn't! Really! Are you trying to cast doubt on all my careful efforts to choose the right dress for you? It really, really suits you! You're better dressed than anyone else in the whole world!" Chenle’s smile was proud and pleased as he looked you up and down, and the blush that crept up his cheeks made his words more real somehow.

Okay, phew. From the way he was staring– "Thanks, Chenle." not sure you really have it in you to smile right now. But if you stand here looking worried and nervous, you’re just going to make him worried, too. You managed to school your features into what you hoped was a believable smile.

"Really, Y/N. We're about to go to a party, so why are you looking so glum again?”

Well, that smile was a dismal failure, then."I'm not...?"

"Yes, you are.” Chenle strode over to where you stood, stopping right in front of you, and you blinked at him in surprise. He cupped your cheek with his hand, staring so intently into your eyes that you felt as if he were seeing straight into your soul. "Is something worrying you?" His voice was suddenly soft with concern, his expression gentle, and you felt a bittersweet ache in my chest

He really does care so much about me, and he wants to be sure you’re okay… But what can you say? ‘There's a bunch of noblewomen who want to marry you and they make me feel like an ungainly clod’? I mean, seriously? "I'm okay, Chenle. I'm just nervous, that's all." you reached up and placed your hand over his where it rested against your cheek, and this time you managed to smile properly.

His brow furrowed a little at your words, his eyes dropping to one side, and his long lashes fluttered against his cheeks. "Well, I suppose it's not really a surprise. You're not used to parties like this yet. But I bet this will chase all your nervousness away." Chenle turned slightly, pointing to the box he'd set down as he entered the room.

"What is it?"

Chenle smiled at your question, looking oddly triumphant. "I think you already look sufficiently charming, but… The look isn't quite perfect yet, is it? Now stop fussing and sit over there."

"Okay…” Chenle took you by the hand and led you over to the sofa, and you sat down, still wondering what was going on. A moment later he went down on one knee before you, the whole movement elegant and graceful. "Chenle? What are you doing?!"

"I'm casting the finest magic spell on you, Y/N." you were still staring at Chenle in surprise as he opened the box. Nestled inside the box were the most beautiful shoes you’d ever seen, decorated all over with tiny, elegant gemstones. "Once you put these on, you'll be perfect.”

Chenle lifted your right foot onto his knee, and slipped off the shoe you were wearing. You watched in quiet awe as he put one of the new shoes on your foot in its place. 

It's beautiful! You loved the way it sparkled! It almost looks like a glass slipper, just like Cinderella had! "They're gorgeous, Chenle! But what brought this on?"

"I came up with the idea when we were talking about the story of Cinderella.” Chenle carefully slipped your shoe off your left foot, and put on your new shoe, before moving to sit on the sofa next to you. "I thought the prince ought to give Cinderella the gift of shoes that were perfect for her. I couldn't get my hands on actual glass slippers, so I chose the shoes I thought would suit you best."

"Oh, Chenle…” This is why he suddenly went running off right after we left the cafe that day, isn't it? He was finding the perfect shoes for you! You felt warmed right through by his kindness, and for a moment you felt the pinprick of grateful tears in the corners of your eyes. 

"Now you've transformed into the perfect princess. So from here on, I'm not going to let you wear that gloomy expression when you stand at my side. Are you ready to be escorted by your prince?" 

"I definitely am! Thanks, Chenle!" You squeezed his hand gently, so happy that there was no need to fake your beaming smile, not anymore. He wasn’t kidding about casting a magic spell on you-- You almost feel like you dreamed all that worry and doubt from before! Suddenly you’re actually excited about going to this party! We're going to have a great time!

You walked proudly at your prince's side as he escorted you to the party in your Cinderella shoes.

— 

Everything seemed so perfect you found yourself wondering if you were dreaming the whole thing.

"You're not too bad at this dancing thing, you know." There was admiration in Chenle’s voice as we moved across the dancefloor in time to the elegant music. As soon as we'd finished greeting all the other guests, Chenle had led you straight out onto the dancefloor, and you were surprised by how much fun you were having.

"Only because you're leading me so well. I should've known you'd be a great dancer.”

"Well, naturally. I mean, just who do you think I am?" Chenle tightened his grip on you, pulling you closer until you were almost touching. "You weren't half bad when we went around greeting the other guests, either."

"Really?"

"Do you really think I'd lie to you?" 

You arched a brow at him, “Yes. Chenle. I do.” 

“Apart from the green card thing I mean…” He quickly added. 

He was greeting people as the heir to the Zhong family Enterprises, and you felt so nervous standing at his side, but– If he thinks you did a good job, then that's all that matters.

"You were elegant and dignified. I was proud to call you my partner. If you're going to stand at my side, then you certainly have to show at least that level of impudence."

"Impudence? Is that meant to be praise?"

"Of course it is."

It doesn't sound like praise, but– He look so happy about it that you’re just going to accept it as if it is. “Hehe! Thanks, Chenle.”

"You're welcome.”

You felt warm and giddy inside as we grinned at each other.

Hmm? You had the sudden sense that someone was watching you, and you glanced around surreptitiously. Wait, I know you… Several young women were standing off to the side of the dancefloor, staring very pointedly in your direction. There was no mistaking them-- they were the same young women you’d been eavesdropping on in the City a few days earlier. Even from a distance, you could clearly see the displeasure and annoyance on their faces.

"Y/N? Why are you looking away from me?"

"No reason! Sorry!" You quickly turned my gaze back to Chenle and gave him a bright smile, but you could still feel the women's glares. Ugh, it's like they were all throwing daggers at you with their eyes. You get that they all want to take your place, but-- ahh, you hoped none of them tried anything underhanded.

You were trying to focus on the dance again, but it was hard to lose yourself in the pleasure of it like you had before, not with those piercing stares.

At last the music ended, and the sound of chatting voices soon filled the room again. "Chenle, why don't I go get us something to drink? Do you want champagne?"

"Okay, but i'll come with-“

“Chenle!” The second you took a step away from Chenle, the young women came rushing in to surround him.

"Please, dance with me next!"

"No, with me!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! The women pushed you somewhat forcefully out of the way as they crowded around him, and you stumbled, still not used to wearing such high heels. As you tried to regain your balance, you bumped into a waiter carrying a tray of glasses, and there was a sudden crash as they all hit the floor and shattered. You lost my balance for real this time and plonked down straight onto your butt, one shoe slipping off your foot and tumbling to the side. Could you have been any more dramatically clumsy?! Why can't you fall over quietly, just for once in your life?!

"Isn't that Chenle’s partner? How disgraceful, sitting on the floor like that."

Your cheeks were burning, you could feel them all staring, and all you wanted was for the ground to open up and swallow you whole. But as you stared down at the floor, frozen in confusion, an elegant hand suddenly appeared in front of you. 

"Give me your hand, Princess."

"Chenle..”

Your heart throbbed and ached at the tenderness in his eyes, and for a moment you forgot your shame. You gazed at that elegant, graceful hand, and reached out to place yours in it.

"Really, she's so disgraceful.”

"I can't believe she'd cause so much trouble for Chenle." 

Their voices intruded, bringing you back to reality, and you froze. You promised yourself you’d do everything right, so that you could be worthy of being Chenle’s partner. But here you were, causing him trouble--bringing shame to his good name, and– Your hand hovered just shy of Chenle’s, but you drew it back again

“Y/N”

Before you could pull my hand away completely, Chenle caught it firmly in his. "Chenle... I can stand up on my own. Let go.”

"No, I won't let go.” Chenle pulled you to your feet, and almost without thinking, you buried your face in his chest. You could feel his breath tickling your ear, and your heart began to pound again. "I can't believe you're making that face."

"What? Hey-I" Chenle scooped up your shoe from the floor, and a moment later he slid one arm around your back and the other under your knees. Before you could react, he lifted you into his arms, cradling you against his chest, and the buzz of whispers around you two rose to a roar. 

Chenle, were you seriously going to carry me in your arms across the dancefloor?! "Chenle! Everyone's staring.”

"Be quiet and stop wriggling, will you? We've done this dozens of times before. Why are you suddenly fussing about it now?"

He might be fine with this, but you’ve never been so embarrassed in your whole life.The young women who'd knocked you over were all staring at us as well, looking aghast and dismayed.

"You there, waiter. Are you all right?"

"Yes, sir! I'm perfectly fine! Please, don't worry about it. We'll get everything cleaned up right away."

"Then we'll leave you to it. My partner seems to be feeling unwell, so if you'll all excuse us." Ugh, is this ever going to end?! you just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide forever…

You  wrapped your arms around Chenle’s neck and buried your face in his chest so you wouldn't have to see all the people staring at you as you two walked past them. But Chenle seemed completely calm and unbothered as he sauntered out of the room, letting the mutterings of the crowd fade away behind us. A cool breeze ruffled your hair, and when you lifted your head, you found that he'd carried you out to the balcony, which was blissfully empty of other people. Chenle set you down in one of the chairs, and sat down next to you.

"Chenle, why are we out here?”

"I'm the one who should be asking you that."

"What do you mean?" you blinked at him as he leaned closer, his beautiful porcelain skin glowing in the moonlight. 

"Have you forgotten what I said before we came? I told you I wouldn't let you wear that gloomy expression at my side."

"Oh…. well..” you remembered him saying that, but-

"Are those women the reason you looked so unhappy? You weren’t sure if you should just open up and tell him why you’ve been feeling so down. If you did, it was just going to worry him more, and after all he’s done for you, that doesn't feel right. You gazed uncertainly up at him, trying to make up your mind about what to do. Something flickered in his eyes, and to your surprise, you saw a hint of doubt lurking there. "You were looking depressed even before we came here, weren't you? If there's something worrying you, stop hiding it and just tell me."

He knew all along, didn't he? He knew this was more than just you feeling nervous. And He’s already been worrying about you, all this time. "I can't help worrying that maybe I'm not really worthy of being your partner." If you’re not honest with him, if you keep hiding it-- that's only going to make him worry more. You need to tell him everything that's been bothering you. "I'm not used to parties like this. I'm not used to high society. To the way you socialites interact with each other. I've lived my whole life in another world, and I started to doubt if people would ever accept me as your partner. And right when I was worrying about that, I accidentally overheard some people talking about me. They said that the magic of love doesn't last forever, and that I was never good enough for you to begin with. And those words stayed with me. I couldn't stop thinking about them."

"I see.” To be honest, you don’t really believe that. you know the magic of your love isn't going to end. You know that he’s the only one for you, forever and always. But– 

"I love you so much, and I want to be worthy of standing at your side." 

Chenle’s eyes widened a little at your words, his expression startled. But a moment later you sighed softly, sounding almost exasperated somehow. "I can't believe you were really worrying about something so trivial."

"What do you mean, trivial?!"

"Worries like that are about as meaningful to me as a single grain of sugar." Chenle stood up from his chair, and before you could react, he knelt gracefully in front of you. He lifted your bare foot, and you shivered at the feel of his fingers against your skin. Without warning he pressed a gentle kiss against your ankle.

"Chenle--I" The warmth of his lips sent a shiver of delight running through you. If he kept doing things like that-

"I told you, didn't I? I'm never letting go of the impertinent woman who ran into my heart. And even if the magic spell I cast on you breaks, I'll always be here to cast another spell on you." He sounded so regal and dignified you could almost believe he really was a prince, and you watched in wonder as he gently slipped your shoe back on your foot.

He really means that, doesn’t he? And it doesn't bother him in the slightest that his spell was broken. His love for you was so pure and earnest, and it lit a gentle flame in your heart, a flickering glow that filled you with warmth. Ahh, I love that you're like this.

"Really. You're normally so brash and shameless, and yet you get hung up on the strangest little details." 

"Brash and shameless? Seriously?!"

"Well, it's the truth." There had to have been a way to say it that sounded less insulting! You pouted at Chenle, and he laughed suddenly, his expression brightening. "When we went to look at dresses, I told you to hurry up and get used to this. But it's fine if you take your time getting used to things-- to dresses, to parties, to everything.”

"Oh-- okay." For a moment you didn't know what to think or say, and you simply gazed at his sweet smile as he smoothed your hair back from your face and sat down beside you again. He’s more stubborn and frank than anyone you’ve ever met, and sometimes he’s a real tease and a bully, but-- he is so incredibly kind at heart. And that's why--

Everything you were feeling was flooding through you, and the only way you could express it was to reach out and wrap your arms around Chenlein a fierce hug. "Y/N?!"

"I love you, Chenle. I love you so much." You clung to him, letting his warmth seep into you and wishing you never had to let go. He’s the only one for you-- the only one who'll ever matter. You can't imagine being anywhere but right here at his side. You buried your face in his chest and whispered the words there, as if you could deliver them directly to his heart.

A moment later he spoke, his voice sugary-sweet, yet with a husky edge that set your heart racing. "It's very clear to me just how much you adore me.” He caressed your cheek gently, and you lifted your head, looking up at him. The stars in the sky seemed to dance in his eyes, captivating you with their ethereal glow.

You weren’t even sure which of you moved first, but suddenly we were kissing. His lips were warm, and he tasted so sweet that you wanted more. One kiss wasn't enough to tell him how you felt, and you kissed him a 2nd time, and a 3rd, desperate to share all my love and desire with him. 

"That's enough." Our lips parted suddenly as Chenle caught you by the shoulders and pushed you back. You were still trying to make sense of what was happening when he took you by the hand and stood up. "We're going home. Right now."

"What? Are you sure?" I mean… you could still hear music, so the party's not over yet.

"I've already greeted everyone in my position as the Zhong heir. The rest is the same old same old, and it will be over soon enough. And more importantly, right now I want you."

"Chenle--"

His voice had a sultry edge to it that promised you a lot more than just kisses, and a thrill of anticipation ran through you. "And I'm not planning on letting you go, not even when the clock strikes midnight. So I hope you're ready." He gave you a smile, and then turned and began to walk away, and you practically tripped over your own feet again in your eagerness to catch up with him.

You don't want him to let you go, not at midnight, not ever. This is no simple spell cast by some fairy godmother. He cast his spell on you the moment we first met, and you know it's going to last forever.

The air around us seemed to sizzle with passion and the promise of what was to come, and the trip home felt more like torture. But you knew that when we got there, he'd more than make up for it, as he cast his magic spell on you again and made you love him even more...

[samobservessonic]

For the last story, we’re checking in on what the Freedom Fighters are doing in Sonic’s absence. They’re not letting going without Sonic spoil their fun, as Tekno invites them to her secret lab for a party. Can they just let her join the team full time already? And aww, someone’s hung a bauble on Shortfuse lol

Also, Amy looking at her future wife fondly <3

We all knew that the answer to that question is that Robotnik doesn’t stop being evil for any time of year

But here to stop him is Santa himself! I told you we’d be seeing him again. Honestly, this is one of my fave Santa designs out there - there’s something a bit mystical and Hogfather-y about him

Imagine, if you will, that StC had somehow survived until the modern era. We could’ve gotten a silly story about Robotnik launching an attack on Santa because Santa doesn’t recognise his AI daughter Sage as a real person, only for Sage to be able to see Santa because she’s truly a living being. Look, that’s the kind of cheesy crap I like, okay? …Huh. A story about Sage learning how Robotnik treated Metamorphia could’ve been interesting as well. We could’ve had it all…

Okay, Robotnik might be evil and about to blow up the planet, but deadnaming him is pretty evil too, Santa :( 

The funniest part of this is that Shortfuse is such a buzzkill at parties that he straight up left in the middle of one because he had a feeling there might be a satellite he needed to destroy

You have to respect that Robotnik still thought he’d get a present anyway after trying to kill everyone

Was Grimer just off work for Christmas?

Anyway, Santa’s prediction isn’t wrong as we march onwards towards Robotnik’s defeat. Which really was only a few months away from when this issue came out, so that’s a nice little teaser

STH Rarepair Week Day 5: Fluff

You can check it out on ao3 here if you prefer.

Summary: Out on a run, Shadow gets rudely interrupted by Sonic's inner chaos demon Super Sonic. Though at least for him meeting with Super is less of a life threatening experience and more of a... pleasant one. Not that he'd admit that out loud.

Pairing: Shadow/Fleetway Super Sonic

Warnings: None to be had

Word Count: ~1100 words

AN: I feel like no one should be surprised I've done another thing related to Fleetway stuff. This time technically set in the actual StC continuity. Not that it really matters for this thing lol.

Shadow felt his fur stand on end and came skidding to a halt. That feeling could only mean one thing. His mind raced through several questions. The two most prominent being: was everyone ok and what had happened? Well if he was showing up to Shadow then at least he could be reasonably sure that everyone else was fine. In fact it was possible they’d managed to prompt him to look for Shadow if he hadn’t just done so himself.

“Hey there Shads~” A voice that seemed far too forced rang out behind him.

“Why do you insist on showing up at the worst times Super?” Shadow turned to level a glare at the golden hedgehog, hands tightening into fists. Super Sonic simply grinned back, not at all phased by the hostility. Both of them knew that Shadow likely wouldn’t come out on top if they fought. It was an oddly terrifying thought, but one he’d made peace with a long time ago.

“Not happy to see me?” Super tilted his head, a sharp look in his spiral eyes.

“Do I ever give you the impression that I’m glad to see you?” Shadow huffed.

“Do you want a real answer to that? Or the answer you think you want to hear?” Super sounded amused, any trace of annoyance gone. Shadow simply grimaced and Super’s grin grew. “That’s what I thought.” The golden hedgehog draped himself over Shadow’s shoulders from his floating position and Shadow hated that he actually relaxed at the touch. Chaos energy flowed freely between them in a familiar and comforting act. Something that Shadow had resisted at first, but he quickly learned that he stood no chance against Super in this. Plus he could privately admit to himself it was nice. Sure he’d pulled chaos energy from the emeralds before, but that was a somewhat painful experience just due to the nature of such concentrated chaos energy. With Super it wasn’t forced or overwhelming, so naturally it felt… good. 

“Is there a reason you’re here?” Shadow kept his tone neutral despite him feeling himself unwind at Super’s contact.

"Isn't you being here enough of a reason?" Super hummed, pulling Shadow closer to him. Shadow really wished he wanted to pull away but he didn't. Not that Super would let him anyway.

"You know what I meant. Don't deliberately play dumb with me. I thought we were past that?" Shadow tried to swat away Super's hand when the other hedgehog moved to try and mess with his quills. Unfortunately he wasn't trying very hard and Super got his way.

Super hummed, sounding almost bored. "What can I say, Sonic got careless and I had to bail him out as usual. I figure I deserve a reward for being so nice and not trying to kill his stupid friends"

"They're all alright?" Shadow asked, mostly out of a sense of obligation. He was fairly certain he knew the answer though.

"They're no more ruffed up than what Robotnik did to them. As nice as it would have been to go after them I'd much rather come see you." Super moved his hand to scratch behind Shadow's ear. 

Finally Shadow allowed himself to relax completely. If there was one thing he could trust it was Super being honest with him; he simply had no reason to lie. Plus if Super was with him he wasn't hurting anyone. It didn't hurt that he enjoyed the chaos demon's company either. He just couldn't enjoy it fully until he knew Super hadn't hurt anyone. “Fine.” Shadow huffed.

“There you are.” Super chuckled. “Was it really so hard to believe that I didn’t hurt anyone?” There was a clearly forced innocent tone to his voice.

“Do you want the real answer to that? Or the answer you think you want to hear?” Shadow barely held back an amused grin.

“Using my own words against me? How low.” Super growled, but Shadow knew he wasn’t actually upset.

"Being in your presence requires me to stoop to such methods." Shadow sighed. "How long do you have anyway?"

Super hummed. "Not long." He huffed, ears drooping. "Took longer than expected to deal with Robotnik."

"A shame." Shadow honestly wasn't sure how much of his own comment was sarcasm and how much was genuine disappointment.

"Awe, is mister ultimate lifeform sad he can't spend more time with me?" Super practically purred as he gently messed up Shadow's quills.

"Hardly." Shadow batted Super's hand away. Super chuckled but gave up and went back to scratching Shadow's ear.

Super finally let himself land on the ground. Shadow felt the chaos demon's full weight suddenly land on his shoulders. The only reason he didn't complain was because of the exchange of chaos energy forcing him to relax. Well perhaps it wasn't forcing him, but that is certainly what he'd claim if asked. "Is there a reason you still act so mean to me?" Super lifted some of the weight from Shadow's shoulders. "We both know you don't actually hate me."

"You're far more tolerable than Sonic." Shadow huffed. "Though that bar is low."

"Ah yes." Super pulled his arms off of Shadow and walked around to be in front of him. "You've complained about him plenty to me." He sighed happily. "Music to my ears." He pointed at Shadow, finger against his chest. "That's why I like you."

Shadow's eyes trailed down to Super's hand. Without really thinking about it he grabbed Super's hand and pulled it away. Super looked amused until Shadow linked their fingers. The look of shock on the other hedgehog's face made Shadow wish he had a camera. It wasn't often he could catch Super off guard. Shadow rose a brow in question as he fought to keep an amused smile off his face.

Several emotions passed over Super's face, eventually it settled on quiet contemplation. "Huh." The golden hedgehog looked oddly calm. It honestly was sort of nice to see him like that. Shadow in an odd way privileged that he was the only one to see him like this. Well nearly the only one.

"Do you have enough time to visit the Groovy Train? I believe Ebony and Pajamas would be happy to see you." Shadow gently pulled Super to his side.

Super perked up a little bit. "You just want to go there because they let you buy straight coffee beans you nutter." He looked away, his expression morphing into something more neutral.

"I'll take your lack of disagreement as a yes." Shadow did finally let a small smile grace his face. As much as he liked to put up a front he did like Super. It was an odd relationship for sure, but it was one he was glad for. At the very least Super could understand the struggle of trying to keep chaos energy under control.

hiiii, Sophie!! I am so excited to read your newest fic hehe, I will have to get to it soon! but today I am here because I'm curious about your answers for questions 4 and 9 of the fic writers ask game ^u^

hehe hi ze !! aaaa i hope u enjoy it the fic 🥹 its a long one so take ur time with it and tysm for sending in some questions <33

ask game

4. is there an au or trope that you haven't written before, but would want to try?

ooo !! theres quite a few i havent written but would love to try, such as time travel (i do have a vague wip abt this but i havent touched it since last year so... haha...), post-apocalyptic, superhero x villain & maybe pirate x mermaid/siren !!

there are a few characters i have in for those aus and i think it would be so so fun to explore those 😩

9. tell us about a wip/idea that you're excited about!

*rummages through my 100+ wips* ... well if i had to pick one, then it might be my phainon wip i recently added !!

synopsis: the popular boy; the resident nice guy; the one all the neighbourhood grannies excessively dote on; the cookie cutter "bring him home to your family"; your childhood best friend; your first love. well, soon-to-be-ex-first-love, that is! (if you had seen the signs earlier, maybe you wouldn't be kicking yourself right about now for wasting so much time.) [<- stc...]

basically modern childhood friends to lovers, where phainon is readers first love (i mean, how could he not be ??? just look at him !! literally such a perfect man and childhood friends to lovers candidate...) and it consists of reader trying (and spectacularly failing) to not be in love with him anymore since they think its unrequited bc he treats everyone the same way 😞 except phainon does feel the same way but always feared crossing that boundary bc he thought he was in a one-sided love since childhood and !!

and cue misunderstandings and confusion and a very heartfelt, long overdue confession bc they are idiots in love !! (mydei is sick of them not confronting their feelings <//3)

Hey, kinda a stupid question youve prolly answers somewhere already, but 1. Where do you read the comica and 2. What do you recommend starting with if someone wants to get into them? Archie, stc, idw?

i use readcomiconline.li! covered in ads but does the job of having comics i can read. grabber.zone is a better choice though, use that.

if you want to get into the comics, start with idw. they're accessible, the art is good, and they aren't as ungodly long as the other two. sonic the comic is the second most accessible in terms of readability.

archie is the most culturally impactful on the sonic fanbase, but it's a HUGE comic and it's hard to read from the beginning. i always tell people to read thankskenpenders until you get to the ian flynn era and pick up the comic yourself on issue 160 armed with context. i would genuinely recommend archie, but not as your first sonic comic outing.

[borrelia]

scourge’s rules of super are different but wouldn’t coming in contact with the chaos emeralds of stc universe specifically cause a different effect with him? (it’s funny that i always get a different answer to this question actually so yeah i wanna know your take if you’re okay on answering.)

anarchy beryl gets him a supposedly longer lasting super form but ultimately drains the user when powering down. if he goes and absorbs the chaos emeralds from archie sonic’s world, he wouldn’t be weakened when powering down.

and there was these red chaos emeralds that archie sonic came across one time that separated his super form from him temporarily. ofc the super form was destructive and evil.

i brought up going super earlier bc sonic just stressed king sonic out to make him go super-- that's something sonic can do. the emeralds are safe with knuckles; those wouldn't come into play if stc sonic tried to beat scourge the same way.

the stc emeralds do two things: absorb evil, and store evil. fleetway super and robotnik are evil bc the evil inside the emeralds blasted them in the faces when the emeralds were unstable. but if scourge came into contact with them, they'd probably absorb his evil and make him temporarily niceys, like they did to captain plunder.

The most important question for the modern office au, what is the office doing like what’s the actual job? Also why’s a kid here!

Ooo!!

To answer the first part, I’m gonna break it a lil further into two segments, the company the office is underneath, and the office itself!

For the company, I like to think it’s a chain type store that focuses on arts & crafts stuff to sell. From various paints, to fabrics, to wood crafts, the list goes on and on!

For the actual office the team works at, rn I am thinking of a regional office with teams that relate their work to stores within the region it resides in. So like all the financials / logistics / infosys / human resources / etc etc for the region they reside? Handled by the office the gang works in.

Specifically, for Siffrin & their team, I’m thinking they handle a lot of the analysis related to financial trends of products being sold. So they would handle stuff like:

Parsing through the financial data retrieved from stores to ensure no errors in data.

Staring at excel every day and questioning your life choices.

Congregating that data into pretty graphs and trends to show to others for reports every month. Pretty colors!! So much information!! 

Reporting their findings every month to higher-ups in the region so they can make decisions on stuff to focus on selling.

Deal with people setting meetings for things that they literally do not handle but keep getting asked about anyway constantly. *stares directly at The King*

And perhaps even general bookkeeping work for product sales that also happen every month, for legal reasons.

So, in short, they’re kinda Product (Arts & Crafts Items) Trends Analysts? But not formally, prob general analysts that got lumped into here. And need to do that stuff cyclically? Since those trends are used in deciding what to focus on selling every month?  A bit broad, a bit detailed, but uhh yea!! Something like that. 

As for the second part. Bonnie. So true. Why’s a kid here!!!

Two current thoughts, undecided:

Bonnie just Showed Up one day and they sorta hung around long enough to worm their way into the rest of the team’s everyday lives. 

Nille also works in this specific regional office, same as everyone else! Probably on the same team. As such, they sometimes hang around waiting for their sister to be done working.

Regardless though, I also like to think they sneak onto the computers sometimes and block time for snacks on everyone's calendars. It is their job as snack leader, after all!

But yea, those are current thoughts! STC but those are the vibes I think!

Sonic the Comic Liveblog: Issue 113

A classic sight, Sonic and Tails on the Tornado. And what lovely colouring too!

Seriously, they are nailing the foggy look! I wondering how they achieved this since I'm pretty sure StC was drawn traditionally

Greek mythology exists in the world of StC I guess

Scratch that! The mythology is real!

Oh I think I see what's going on, the maze is conguring up monsters from their imaginations.

Huh, I recall him having a different demeanor back then

Oh that answers it! And to think this weeks villain was just a little kitty cat.

With all due respect Tails, what chippie was serving veggie burgers in 1997?

Oh she has a pretty design! Honestly this is hitting the sweet spot for my preferences for mobian design; not humans with weird noses, but also not just sticking realistic animal heads on human bodies. A nice stylized in-between

Another pretty design!

HOW did StC predict a major plot point of SA2 before Shadow was even remotely conceptalised as a character???!!!

Only the best safety features for this spaceship

He would've fit right in at Belfast City Hall in December of 2012 …I'll leave you all to do your own research on what exactly I'm referencing.

Yeah, sounds pretty handy.

I hadn't thought of that question before concerning the whole trapped in armour thing, but since it was asked, my curiosity is very satisfied that there's an actual answer

[hikingsuper]

have you ever considered making a rp ask blog where you answer questions as characters from stc or the games?

I actually didn't! Mostly because I have no one to rp with or I don't think people would be interested in roleplaying with Extra Life or Super Sonic when he was a barista lol

Polar|Star (P|S)

Leo/Need Adjacent Band

A group of music enthusiasts finding comfort in one another through their own music. Made with and for each other.

Hoshino Ichika - Vocalist, Guitarist, Partial Lyricist. Losing her passion for music, she wants to relearn what it means to enjoy music.

Asahina Mafuyu - Keyboardist, Partial Lyricist. Wants to find herself and feels as if music is the correct direction.

Shiraishi An - Drummer. After learning the truth of RAD WEEKEND, An lost her aspiration of trying to surpass it but also out of respect for Nagi. Ever since though, she has been having difficulty trying to understand her music.

Kiritani Haruka - Bassist, Composer. After quitting being an idol, Haruka found her way with a new instrument, showing her feelings in a new way.

SEKAI: Empty Assembly SEKAI

Similar to the Empty SEKAI where it’s just a huge white area, except in the design of a School Assembly Hall.

Despite there being a stage, the Hall itself seems to expand on forever.

School desks and chairs haphazardly dotted about in the Hall, blank sheets or paper with garbled writing strewn out on the desks and the floor.

First Virtual Singer

Hatsune Miku - Is basically like Niigo Miku. Acts like a calming presence to the others.

Virtual Singers

Order of Appearance (StC)

All act fairly similar to their Nightcord selves (blame Mafuyu /lh)

Megurine Luka - Tends to specifically criticise Ichika. Will read over Ichika’s lyrics or hears how she plays and will ask “is that it?” Though never actually giving the answer, Luka will nudge and hint Ichika in the correct direction. Ichika used to dislike how Luka would ‘pick on her’ but now trusts Luka’s opinion whole-heartedly.

Kagamine Rin - The group's biggest critic. Even if they think they’re doing something correctly, or playing right, Rin would immediately criticise them, telling them they’re wrong and that they should be doing it like this. Her criticism helps bring Haruka back down to Earth but causes Mafuyu immense stress and panic. Rin also acts similar to a prefect so will tell them off for running or shouting (namely An).

MEIKO - Represents distance… again. And hesitancy. Specifically An and Ichika’s hesitancy to get close to people again due to their own abandonment issues. When the group were deciding on actually becoming a full band, MEIKO directly questions An and Ichika’s dedication.

Kagamine Len - Childish. Like Niigo Len, P|S Len represents Mafuyu’s inner child, a childhood she lost. He also represents being a good student and would stress when he doesn’t get something right but also has moments where ‘slacking off’ seems to make him happy. He can also represent the other’s childhood as he can be very starry eyed.

KAITO - Anger. Pure, unadulterated rage towards Mafumom, broken promises, liars, fakes, and the world.

Subject to Change as I go on figuring out this AU more.

Kitching was absolutely the right choice to do the art for this story. I love this first page so much, the visuals really stuck with me for a long time. He also wrote the script for this one, so Kitching really did take the wheel for the Super Sonic stuff

Even with only one issue since we last saw him, I’m sure the question “Whatever happened to Super Sonic?” was the topic of many letters to StC. So, let’s find out the answer in a story with that exact question as the title

It’s Madge! You remember Madge, right? The kindly old lady who took Super Sonic in

Unfortunately, Madge has an awful husband called Arthur. He literally only appears in this story, even though I thought I remembered him appearing more than that. He’s evidently not paid too much attention to the amnesiac teenager that his wife has taken in, since he can’t tell him apart from the guy who’s on the cover of his newspaper

They’re so much like my grandparents that it’s scary. Just more well-observed British background characters in StC

Madge’s mother was right Regardless, Super Sonic has to go. I’m sure on his part that it is at least a bit to keep the peace between these two, even if he’s not saying as much, but he’s right that he’ll never find out the truth here. Even if it’s a truth he might not want to find. Also, he needs to meet Ebony and Pyjamas, which will never happen if he stays here

Years ago, I once saw an American fan misunderstand this page and think that Super Sonic was an alcoholic because Madge “gave him money to get beer”. So I just want to be very clear that Madge was giving him money that Arthur intended to spend on beer, so that Super Sonic might survive for a little while out there on his own. Super isn’t going to go get sloshed

Also, Amy and Johnny are looking for him!

I love this whole page, so I’m just gonna post it as it is. This is a nice way to get a recap of the situation. The question of whatever happened to Super Sonic has now been answered, but leaves us no further forward in knowing his fate, since at this point he’s wandering the streets. At least with the power on hindsight we can say that better things are coming in his future, for a while, anyway

Next time we return to Captain Plunder, for what I believe is his final adventure in StC. But before that, we’ve got the Veg Heads story in this issue to check out

[winwintea]

I HATE MY BAD INTERNET I SENT YOU A WHOLE ASK TALKING ABOUT STC BUT FUCK TUMBLR IT DIDN’T GET SENT

drive safely sweetie💕 gonna write what i wrote back in that ask because we all hate tumblr for not sending it anyways i really wanted to see the wedding in stc because y/n would 100% fall while walking down the aisle chenle wiuld burst out laughing then would cry happy tears I want someone to propose during the wedding so either it is yanan proposing for ten either hyuck for ning or dejun for yuqi it is one of them

I’M NOT LETTING MY RENGYANGNISIM GO👺👺 THEY MET DURING THE WEDDING

so let’s say renjun had to step out the wedding for a bit because he wasn’t really feeling well that day he was looking at the sky lost in his thoughts “do you think it is true when they say every child is born there is a star born with them?” Renjun turned to see yangyang standing behind him looking at the sky as well “i don’t know but i don’t really believe in such things”

yangyang kept asking stupid questions about astronomy (Renjun actually found it interesting how can yangyang think of these things) Renjun didn’t know anything or any answer to yangyang’s questions but he just stood there and listened to him he would give answers from his point of view to some questions

“can i use your phone for a bit i wanna call someone but i forgot my phone there and i don’t really wanna go back it is kind of loud there” renjun’s actions acted out before he could even think handing the phone to yangyang

yangyang types something in the keypad but doesn’t call he just gives the phone to renjun and walks away renjun looks at his phone seeing a number typed in how can he fall for such a thing? he thought to himself and he will definitely not call yangyang (he called yangyang every time no one was free to eat hotpot with him and things happen right? They start dating after Yangyang accidentally confessed his feelings while they were walking back from eating hotpot for the 2663737474848 together)

haha so i actually have the wedding written out it's still in my drafts lolololol i never posted it

RENYANG DURING THE WEDDING PLEASE GIRL THIS IS SO WELL THOUGHT OUT

i need a FULL FIC RN THIS ISN'T ENOUGH

but bro that was smooth as hell

and winwin will be yangyang's emotional support teehee
