Examples of Knuckles sensing all forms of Chaos Energy (and other things?) so I can aggressively point here whenever people forget about it

I see this part of Knuckles' abilities forgotten way too often and it drives me insane so here

1: HE CAN SENSE THE MASTER EMERALD.

Very blatant. His entire gameplay in SA1 and SA2 revolves around this ability. He innately has the ability to sense the Master Emerald and its shards. Rouge meanwhile is given an Emerald Detector in SA2 to explain her gameplay.

2: HE CAN SENSE CHAOS CONTROLS.

He senses "some strange energy" right before Sonic Chaos Controls right in front of him. Essentially predicting a Chaos Control. IDK how else you could read this lmao he literally sensed a Chaos Control. (I swear I never see anyone talk about this ever grrr)

3: HE CAN SENSE SOL EMERALDS AND CHAOS EMERALDS.

This interaction in Sonic Rush confirms that he can sense both Sol Emeralds and Chaos Emeralds. For him to be able to mistake Sol Emeralds for Chaos Emeralds without seeing them, he has to be using some sixth sense, and has to be familiar with sensing Chaos Emeralds as well.

4: HE CAN SENSE FAKE/ARTIFICIAL EMERALDS.

(This is from a Sonic Station Live segment, unofficial translation found here.)

Knuckles goes looking for a mysterious Emerald presence, and finds Tails' fake Emerald. Pretty straightforward. Also, evidence of the Master Emerald itself being sentient and able to direct Knuckles to investigate anomalies. (I wish more people made use of that, too.)

5: HE... HAS A LITERAL TREASURE SENSE, APPARENTLY?

(This is from a story on the Sonic Channel website. Original found here, unofficial translation from Windii Gitlord's blog found here.)

This is... a strange one. A bit of an outlier. I assumed that instances of Knuckles sensing treasures were purely gameplay mechanics, but here he appears to literally sense a pair of combat gloves, which is completely unrelated to Chaos Energy. So I guess he can do that too? But maybe it's only because he was led there by the ghosts of his ancestors? Who knows.

Oh yeah. BTW, Knuckles gets sent dreams by his ancestors' ghosts. That is canon. Someone pls use that in some way lol

So anyway. There. A bunch of examples of Knuckles sensing all forms of Chaos Energy, not just the Master Emerald. Throw this at someone if they question the extent of this ability and want evidence lol

Don’t have much time to draw atm but I wanted to contribute to Sora worldwide trend even though my contribution is comparatively kinda lame (yalls art is so fucking epic)

Appalachian Sora… she drove up the blue ridge parkway to watch the sunrise and get away from her family and she is watching the mist flow in rivers through the valleys. Golden light pours over the ancient, rounded peaks at last and she thinks Arin would like it up here right now. They go to the same school but he lives like an hour and a half away because they are all in the middle of nowhere (Sora would have some serious small town blues)

She works at the singular auto shop within a 20 mile radius because she can’t stand the other nearby options (bussing tables at a diner or like. Retail)

Her other hobbies include:

- gossip with Arin while he’s fishing

- explore abandoned coal mine

Lie down with me, my dear

Lie down

Under stormy night

Tell nobody

My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?

I heard that you missed your connecting flight

Oh, brother of mine

To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee

So no one gets worried, no

You're ever welcome with me any time you like

Let's drive to the countryside

Leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes

So no one gets worried, no

But [x] don't get careless

I'm sure it'll be fine

I love you, I love you

Oh brother of mine

telemachus really is the most relatable character in epic. for you see i, too, hid in my bedroom for 20 years with no friends except my geriatric dog and the uncanny ability to imagine infinite scenarios of mortal peril
