#back to the forest you go

[arts-n-oddites]

Sorry no art post tonight

Try to keep this art based but had a sudden change of plans finding this little guy on the road

Didn’t want to walk by itself but didn’t mind being scooped up.

Thanks again for my fiancé who was home and could grab gloves and the shovel just in case

starting off 2025 with boscage sonic (aka scruffy)

random notes about him:

- he’s sonic’s protectiveness (especially towards tails), stubbornness, and love of nature. he’s the big brother, the protector. scruffy is much more serious than sonic is, muzzle basically curved in a permanent frown

- speaking of sonic, his ass hates that mf. not only does this small, spiky guy look like him, he’s also getting a little too close to mangey for scruffy’s liking AND he hurt thorn. if he went after thorn, who’s to say he won’t go after his cub at some point? i also just really like the idea that the different versions of sonic don’t like him because of how quickly he latches onto their versions of tails

- he can talk, he just actively chooses not to unless it’s 100% necessary. he usually just huffs and grunts at people

- he and mangey are separated when sonic goes to the maze. scruffy is in the forest with thorn and birdie

- thorn is his best friend. when the ache in his heart is too much, he goes to her for comfort. he understands that mangey is a scavenger, but he doesn’t like it. he doesn’t like it at all

now for the random lore dump beneath the cut!

scruffy was on the same boat as thorn when it came to the soon-to-be-called scavengers taking the forest’s resources (except for mangey who was doing nothing wrong in his eyes of course). When the time came, he helped the hedgehog drive the scavengers away, only stopping when he noticed mangey was also running from him. He saw the fear in the kit’s eyes has he scrambled up to the treetops with the others and immediately regretted his decision, even if thorn was telling him it was for the better; that mangey chose to go with the scavengers.

by the time sonic lands in the boscage maze, scruffy spends most of his time either with thorn and birdie or near the base of the tree he saw mangey leave on. He is convinced that the little fox is terrified of him and hates him (mangey also thinks scruffy hates him and that’s why the beast scared him away. the kit spends a lot of time near the edges of the wooden platforms in the trees, looking for any sign of his big brother through the leaves) but he still hopes for the day the fox descends from the tree and their little family reunites

that’s all i really have for him so far. still need to work out how exactly he’d fit into the overall story. but yeah, my new boy scruffy!!! i love hims!!!

here’s some more random sketches:

Hfjone au where instead of kidnapping people for his reality show he accidentally discovers twitch and starts a stream and becomes the most popular twitch streamer ever. People love tuning in to watch forest man and his wacky antics. They love the “larp.” Twitch keeps trying to get him to come to cons he can never attend. People make wildly popular edits and gifs of him to share on stan twitter.

Instead of getting people to entertain him, he works to entertain people.

I’ve been debating what the funniest, most fan-fury-inducing thing any hypothetical Silmarillion movie/show could do would be, and I think the answer is to condense the sons of Feanor. There are so many of them! And they aren’t particularly individualized! You could just… cut a few. Who needs seven whole kinslayers? You get get it down to three or four, easy.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MY GOOD PAL, BUDDY, CHUM, FRIEND, @honeybubbletea33 It's actually over the latest chapter this time, so go read it, it's so good, I swear-

Okay, guys, I must confess something. I am the number one Silk enjoyer. I have loved her since the b e g i n n i n g (Silk is the beautiful queen on the right, you can't miss her ✧˖°.)

So, because I am her number one fan and the leader of her cult, I drew this "birthday drawing" solely as an excuse to spread my Silk propaganda. Join the cult, guys, we have spiders and brownies-

I took some liberties with her design, but I did incorporate details from chapter 9 and this chapter. Also, I s w e a r, I read somewhere that she had a scar over an eye, but I couldn't for the life of me find it when I looked again. If you can find it, like... Tell me where, man lmao

I gave her a design based on styles from the 1920s. Idk, man, I just thought that would really fit (Here's what I referenced if you guys wanna draw cute designs too!) But y e e. She's noticeably less "war-torn" than the fic described her, BUT MAAAN, LISTEN. I IMAGINE IT LIKE SHE GOT GLAMMED UP TO ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS. It's easier to swindle people out of their gold if you have a pretty face ;)

I am also on my knees begging. P l e a s e, we need more Error and Silk tea time gossiping. It's so amazing. I never knew I needed these two to gossip together until this chapter but I n e e d it (Seriously, a drama podcast between these two would go so incredibly hard)

I just thought it was hilarious that Error was willing to spill his entire life story for a single brownie. Yeah, he ate way more than that, but that doesn't change the fact he was ready to talk shit after being bribed with one brownie. Literal comedy gold

All in all, I need these two to become friends. Error needs a buddy he can shit talk with. Silk can be that buddy. I am objectively right guys, tell me you agree with me-

I love getting to go along to art exhibition openings for weird little shows. Someone of your vague acquaintance has curated a whole room of their specific weird little niche fixation have some wine and cheese about it. That's several of my favourite things!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING RAT?!

WHAT ON THIS UNHOLY, BLOCK EARTH ARE YOU DOING!!?

[eywaseclipse]

Young Ronal and Tonowari’s love story is on my manifestation list; because I need to see it. What if she gave him his first tattoo after passing his Iknimaya all those years ago? Was she reluctant to be Tsahìk because she’s clearly a warrior too? Was their union arranged? Did they hate each other at first? I need to know! Even if it’s just a 2 minute flashback I’ll take it!!!
