Knuckles' 30th Anniversary carousel post 💥🌟I knew this wasnt gonna make it on Feb. 2, hence why I made the prev Knux post XDD
[FULL ILLUSTRATION BELOW, and a *flipped version]
If i ever miss any details, so sorry HNGG...theres so many characters, even came up with their grown-up designs on a whim (not claiming the designs to be unique btw, of all the fanarts out there, who knows?)
just realized how difficult itd be for phone-only viewers to look at this art...theyre so tiny when you look at them through your phone. I thought this *flipped version might help :DD

s4 special not beating the shadowpeach allegations but given sun wukong’s legacy as the OG “not interested in romance :P” protagonist (goku. luffy. etc.) and the delightful characterization moments in the actual jttw i cannot possibly imagine him as anything other than the ur-asexual

another slight redesign, this time for Knuckles in the decade au!
headcanons, once again, below the cut
Knuckles decides to return to adventuring more after the events of Frontiers, specifically to learn more about the world and any other old civilizations that may have previously been undiscovered.
He was able to recall enough details from Tikal's memories in Adventure to memorize the tattoos his ancestors would wear. As he got older he got more tattoos to match those memories in honor of his tribe.
Knuckles gets along exceptionally well with any and all Chao, regardless of their alignment. Maybe it's because of the latent Master Emerald energy within him.
That same energy has shifted his eye colors to be dual toned, now being purple and green. His attunement to the Master Emerald is becoming stronger over time, and he's becoming more confident that he can leave the Master Emerald to do other things, whether it's research or leisure.
The rings on his hat are pins, and he'll occasionally swap them out for red ring themed pins instead, and sometimes even emerald themed pins!
The slots in his shoes are actually hidden spikes for climbing. When Knuckles clicks the buttons on the top of his shoe buckle, whether with his hands or by pressing them against something else, the spikes will shunt out.
Because of these spikes in his shoes, he's added kicking to his fighting style, and spars with Sonic or Shadow to get a handle on how to balance punches and kicks.
Knuckles uses he/him pronouns primarily, but really doesn't care what people call him. He also doesn't care too much about his sexual identity, Knuckles is just Knuckles, and will like whoever he wants and not have that affect something as arbitrary to him as a label.

We're coming up on 2 months since the Knuckles series premiered and that whole situation still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not the series itself, but the way the fandom reacted to it. It was just a silly little filler show, and did not warrant such hatred and extreme reactions.
It wasn't like the entire future of the SCU hinged on whatever lore was revealed in this show. It was filler. Was it weird? Sure. Diverged from game/comic lore? Yeah. Focused a little too heavily on Wade? Yep.
But I personally found it fun. Others did not. Completely fair.
What wasn't fair was how those who didn't like it tore it, and the entire SCU in general, down as though the movies had somehow caused all other versions of the Sonic franchise to become 'less'.
It's a different universe. The characters have different backstories. The story is ongoing, meaning they're not going to be 100% just like their game counterparts from the very beginning. They're developing, growing, learning. Knux isn't like his ME guarding comic version, right now. But we don't know what will happen in the 3rd (or later) movies.
I will admit I'm a little angry at how much this discourse has affected me. I know it shouldn't. I know I should just shrug it off and do what I'd always found fun. But the atmosphere has changed so much, it really makes me pull back, and I don't want to do that.
So this is an open invitation, for anyone out there who loves the SCU or Knuckles series to reach out if you want. If the discourse has affected you too, know you're not alone.
It really sucks that something we were all looking forward to has turned some of us against others, and dredged up such anger that no one talked about the show other than how much they liked or hated it. Where we should have been inundated with theories, analysis, fixit fics, or fanart, or aus or any number of other incredibly creative and inspired pieces, but instead the show has been swept under the rug, and only spoken about in hushed tones with the lead in of "I know it was weird, but".
I enjoyed the show. I watched it with my family, and we all found it fun and entertaining. I'm planning on incorporating the series into my Knuckles MacPherson au, and will weave what I liked or felt inspired by into those stories.
I will write again, damnit. I will push past this stupid block, and get my head back into Green Hills, playing with the characters there like my own personal little puppet show. I have stories that need finished, and more percolating in my noggin that need explored.
