The hill I'll die on the most regarding my Sonic MLP AU is that Sonic =/= Rainbow Dash. I feel like I see this casting a lot because fast and blue but nooo no they hit different. They would absolutely be besties if they could meet but they are not the same person. They both have the capacity to be an asshole and don't always think their decisions through, but it just manifests differently, idk how to explain. Their senses of pride I think also operate differently. I really do think she's more similar to Jet.
after sitting on this game in my steam wishlist for ages, I finally gave it a try when another one of my friends started it, and it ended up becoming one of my favorite rpgs (and games in general) of all time. the emotional rollercoaster this game put me through is unparalleled.
so obviously i needed to turn all the main characters into ponies and funny animals.
Notes on my reasoning and thoughts below! (Including major game spoilers!)
As for the sonic character animals the reasons are a lot more simple also i didnt for au lore crazy with them. theyre just furries now:
Siffrin- he literally goes nya. he makes cat mouths all the time. they also like silently hanging out with their loved ones, agile and sneaky, etc.
Mirabelle- she is so fucking nervous all the time. a little guy seemed fitting. Also, unintentionally, her being a mouse with her rapier makes her look like the tale of despereaux guy
Isabeau- a supportive, happy go lucky guy being made a dog seemed pretty obvious, but i wanted to be a little more creative and thoughtful than that, so i specifically went for a smarter dog breed: a collie :] kind of like herding he also brings and corrals the group together
Odile- suggestion of a friend, a yellow-throated marten :] just looked really cool and very odile. simple as that
Bonnie- wombat-- suggestion from a friend, too :] But in general the idea was a burrowing animal, because they're digging in the ground for tubers to me.
HEY since creepypastas are coming back with the #mlpinfection aus i figured sonic would fit right in but i was sorely mistaken 😭 do you know how difficult it is to make a sonic character scary?????
Btw this is technically my side blog! Main is @mysterious-mcmoth tho I'm not that active over there anymore and really just reblog random stuff I like.
Got around to actually doing this and I kinda had to redo these like- 4 or 6 times I’m not even joking 😭💀 but yeah, the next post is either gonna be another broadcast/conversation between vanilla and Amy regarding cream’s “disappearance” or just being cream’s pov on searching for cheese (based off the speed paint I did a few months ago) so again, stay tuned for that and I hope you enjoy these (long ah) character profiles for some of the characters!
I also posted this on my different socials, YouTube, tiktok, Instagram and maybe Twitter (X) so feel free to check these there ^^ (or just check them out here- 💀)
