#sonic and tails are there but not rlly the focus so i dont see a point in putting their tags

[pokeypoqi]

decided to make some "propaganda" of sorts for the @sonic-fankid-showdown :) basically some silly art and some info about my fankid, wafer! so! wafer is the adopted chao/child of sonic and shadow. they found her egg out in the open one day and were like "what why is this egg just. here." so they took her someplace safe, but unfortunately after like a day of not knowing what to do with her they both got i very attached, so they decided to raise her together :D as wafer grew after hatching she begun visually taking after the hedgehogs taking care of her, hence the pseudo-quills shape of her head and her purple-y color. so far wafer is especially skilled in power and swimming (for irony's sake), but falls behind in flight. as for personality, wafer is very sweet and whimsical. a little devious, sure, but in a way that makes her cute (and she is well aware) she loves bugging her parents and their friends in small ways but thats just how she shows love im still developing more story for her and such, but this is the basics! excited to see how the showdown goes! ^^

You asked Berry this so I am asking YOU out of spite for not asking ME

YOUR SONIC HEADCANONS??

IFHASHFKAJHVKAHDKC

uhmm ill be my own attorney in the court; in my defense, your honour, i saw berry reblog a post specifically about sonic sexuality headcanons and berry shared their hcs in the tags but also put in the tags abt how their 'headcanons may change'. and i wanted to see if their headcanons changed so i asked them

ANYWAY

uhh these r all pretty much identity + nd hcs so sorry if u were lookin for more

(edit:wait actually im gonna sort this into two parts:: queer + nd headcanons and then like. backstory and personality hcs)

SONIC: adhd, used to hc him as bi ace but fuck it hes romance repulsed oriented aroace, also me likes the idea of him being genderqueer in some way, moreso specifically either transmasc nonbiney or transmasc trigender. also adhd (side note i heard someone sayhe couldnt possibly have adhd cuz "he can focus on missions" and. wjhat.) also maybe ptsd from thecountless traumatic experiences hess had to endure

AMY: sappho. i have also adhd'ed her in the past but im not so sure npw. i also saw someone hc her as bipolar and thas valid

TAILS: i know he can definitely represent as an autistic stereotypce but look at him :(( (but i genuinely think his backstory is sort of a metaphor for the nd experience. and also i think theres a lot of things that may make him autistic codedthough albeit many of them r stereotypical). special interest in engineering

KNUCKLES: bisexual as ffffff, though he doesnt give a shi abt labels

and ofc STTICKS:: demirose lesbiian. . also female but she rlly doesnt care abt gender. also autistci mayhaps

now for the more interesting hcs:

SONIC: something traumatic happened to him that made him scared of water in the first place, thas for sure methinks. he also just doesnt really show his negative emotions and he moreso just tries to 'dealw it' instead. i have headcanoned this for years as many others have and it appears to be somewhat canon in frontiers which is pretty great. he plays the electric guitar and is a pretty skilled singer and yeah. chilli dawgs r his comfort food....... loves rock electric and heavy metal and sometimes listens to it on his runs. pretty comfortable w being independent . also this is not a headcanon but i dont think his idw iteration is that out of character. he sees pretty much everyone (rivals and frenemiesalike) as friendos

AMY: has some form of abandonment issues which is what makes her as clingy as she is. generally used to feel left out and misunderstood from sonic n others in games like adventure and adventure2 but their relationshipsget better. listen. listen i heard someone on tumblr hc amy having abandonment issues and it hasnt left my miind since. she used to feel embarrassed by herself and her personality but became much more expressive of herself as time went on bc she starrted feeling more accepted. DEFINITELY writes fanfiction and fancomics and draws fanart and likes theatre(this is canoon actually). has meetings w the girlsTM where she just reads their fortune n everything. she also said in one game that she aspires to BE LIKE sonic and i have hcs abt that as well. can b mischievious and sneaky. has a tarot card reading BUSINESS this girl earns money for this !! shes very magiical girl bc she can pull her hammer out there, tell the future, turn invisible, has a 'sonic snese' but this is not a headcanon this is canon. plays the violin. loves to create fun outfits. into knitting and crocheting. . yeah i have more

TAILS: he can get pretty insecure of himself at times, heholds high expactations of himself and feels like if he doesnt meet them he might as well be a failure. ooopslol. he also hates when ppl misinterperets who he is as a person and when they undermine how skilled he is. he sometimes doesnt really let others know how he feels and hides it w a positive attitude. his gizmo is his comfort item. sonic was his first friend. the reason why he acted cocky in lost world and constantly pointed out how they shouldnt trust eggman (although it was super ooc) is bc of how insecure he was and he felt like sonic didnt trust himenough. and he feels bad abt it. hm. he also likes to draw sometimes and is generally skilled and precise, partly bc he has to draw blueprints for his creeations. one of them orphans. wags his tails/unintentionally starts flying when hes excited (stimming woag). hes not really SCARED of thunderstorms but they ARE a sensory nightmare for hiim (loud, bright/0). sonic sort of 'taught him how to make friends'. he still has cosmo in the form of a plant inside his house. he has many bunkers/ Sometimes he has a hard time accepting help (inherited from his older brotherlol). his tails are an nd allegoryOK ILL SHUT UP NOW

KNUCLES: icoud rambllea lot about him whenever im in the mood especially when i seeppl misinterperet him but i dont really have much HEADcanons bc everything i say abt him is canon

STICKS: ok this is gonna sound wild and its definitely not original but. she has abandonment/truusst issues relatedto her former parents that have something to do w the government which is one of the reasons she became so hateful of th egovenrment. dont ask (actually do if you want to). generally feels free to be herself but there are times when she feels ashamed of her wild side ig you couldcall it. very creative.

the reason why theres not shadow even though hes one of the more popular ones is bc im just not obsessed w him at the moment sorry :(

I HAVE MORE but these are all FOR NOW

now YOU TELL ME YOUR SONIC HEADCANONS SO I DONT LOOK AS DELUSIONAL [[POINTS FINGER AT YOU]]

the saddest thing abt idw is i just wanna read abt my fave sonic characters. sonic amy tails knux is my dream team and the chars in this series are all really important to me so it kind of sucks that instead giving spotlight to characters that arent really in the games much (cream!! the chaotix!!) im given like. ocs. idm surge but im not caught up and i already feel the surge fatigue. my issue with all of the idw ocs is that oh my god their characters drag so much (belle omfg its been like 20 issues) where i feel theyd be better as 1 or 2 issue additions that dont take too much focus away from the main cast. (1/2)

(2/2) the other thing is like. if there was less focus on the ocs (they even have a spinoff??) we'd get more content of the main characters and maybe a few more moments of decent characterisation. a broken clock is right twice a day yknow. there Are still small moments in idw ive rlly liked

It's funny that you say that you don't like the focus on minor characters like Cream and the Chaotix because from what I've seen, that's exactly one of the reasons fans adore Flynn: his bringing back and fleshing out minor characters such as Gemerl, and adding interactions you wouldn't normally see (Knuckles and Amy, Sonic and Espio) :P to be fair, while I'm of the opposite mind and I like when minor characters are given another chance, the Season of Chaos story was super cute and I would like something similar with the Modern cast. IDW could easily have been a slice of life comic with the main characters, like the Sonic Channel stories of last year. Oh well.

I honestly forgot the last time canon characters got the spotlight. The last arc before Surge and Kit's introduction was Amy going camping with a bunch of OCs, instead of Cream and Rouge like she coulv have. When was the last time we've even seen Knuckles, outside of the annual with Blaze? I think the Chaotix got the spotlight in... ehh #48, but they were so pointless. Because of Surge and Kit's nature, the story has become the Sonic & Tails show... which is what the modern games have been accused of. You see anyone complaining? Of course not.

Anyway, hard agree with the dragging of characters. IDW's pacing is glacial. We had to deal with Surge and Kit for less than a year, and I'm already sick of them, because they didn't really do anything in the meantime, we just had #50 and I ranted long enough about the Sonic vs. Surge "fight".

Some characters really feel like they should have been much more minor. Starline got killed off like a minor bad guy instead of the main villain that he became by replacing Eggman. Belle's main appeal was discovering her origins story, and now that it's been confirmed, she has nothing relevant to do. Surge and Kit's story could have been interesting, with their fake identities, but it's been derailed for reasons I don't understand.

Then again, the focus on OCs is out of mere convenience :)

i’m sorry i don’t know a lot about sonic but umm, do you have a fav game/comic/show? a least favorite? do you think there’s a character that’s good but never gets attention or doesn’t get enough screen time? what appeals to you most abt the characters n story n world? (i hope these are applicable questions sfhhdkgj ignore anything u can’t answer...)

nono they’re such good questions!! thank u!!

my fav game is honestly a tie between sa2 and generations! sa2 did rlly well with all the characters and i enjoyed the gameplay!! i love the gameplay in generations and the idea of sonic meeting like. his past self was cool and i rlly liked the way they did it! colors and satbk arent my faves but they have a special place in my heart since they were the first ever sonic games i owned..

i dont rlly have a least favorite comic? i rlly like the idw comics, archie had SOME good things about it, and i’ve never read sonic the comic but i’ve always loved the idea of fleetway and amy’s design....... i love it so much

a character i think deserves more screentime is. well. nearly all of them im not gonna lie? in some games they only rlly focus on sonic, tails, and eggman (ex: lost world, colors) but i’d really really REALLY like to see cream the rabbit come back!! she hasnt been in a mainline sonic game since generations and i want her back...... i would also like to see tikal and chaos (and chaos should ACTUALLY be in the story this time instead of just being thrown in there. forces im looking at you -____-) vanilla, mephiles, sticks.. just a bunch of characters tbh!!

what i love abt sonic tho r the characters!! i could go more in depth but i’ve gone on long enough...... this is just a bunch of word vomit ODISNNIMODOMNSID
