#sonic as a dad

[number-one-shadisper-shipper]

If you’re still doing the ask game, Shadow or Sonic as a dad?

Ooooh! That one's been a while, but I always love doing my ask games! And I have lots of headcanons for both!

Shadow as a dad

Did not know he could feel this many emotions until he had kids

Is determined to be a better dad than Gerald and Black Doom were (literally such a low bar like he hasn't tried to manipulate his kids into destroying the world so congrats you succeeded)

Okay we all know if he has a little girl he's naming her Maria

Loves his kids. Also has no idea what to do with kids ("What do you mean kids need food and sleep and encouragement I don't need that stuff! What do you mean that's not normal is that why I feel miserable all the time...?")

Is that "you got hurt? walk it off" kind of dad (does care if they get actually hurt but has a hard time with emotions)

Teaches his kid(s) how to fight and use guns from the time they're very small. They and Knuckles's kids are about equal in being super well-trained warrior children and it's totally not a competition at all

Stops referring to himself as "The Ultimate Lifeform" because he doesn't want to kids to feel like they're anything less than he is.(He does call himself the Ultimate Dad now though)

Doesn't let Aunt Rouge and Uncle Omega babysit anymore cuz every time he does his kids come back wanting to commit thievery and violence

Does a lot of things with his kids that he consciously or unconsciously remembers doing with Maria (reading books, playing dress-up, stargazing)

Is super tough until his kids pull out the puppy dog eyes and then he will do anything they want

Has pretty high expectations for his kids (they're the kids of the Ultimate Lifeform, after all) but is careful not to push them too hard or make them think he's disappointed if they don't do perfectly

Does so many dad jokes, but does them in a super monotone voice so no one knows if he's doing them on purpose or not

Sonic as a dad

Sonic is absolutely great with kids! It's not too hard for him to jump from big brother figure to dad

Has a lot of knowledge of kids from raising Tails. He's great at dealing with meltdowns and stuff, he's had a lot of practice!

Never stops going on adventures but is a little more reigned in. Goes instead to more places he can travel to and back in a day (basically anywhere still lol) or takes his family with him

Fosters a strong interest in travel and learning about other cultures

Teaches by example. His kid(s) are brave and heroic and curious, etc, not because Daddy told them to be but because they see Daddy acting that way

Tends to spoil his kid(s) just a little bit (he has a hard time saying no to them)

Oh wow taking care of kids is actually really tiring? Somehow his kids have even more energy that he does? He didn't know that was possible????

Is super supportive of everything his kids do

Tends to be the "reckless" parent. "Yeah sure we can go cliff jumping later sounds like a perfectly safe activity for a five-year-old" (to be fair he's been doing stupid stuff since he was five and he's gotten this far right? Also he makes sure to be right there to save them if anything goes wrong)

Takes naps with his kids in really weird places (in trees, on the roof, on the floor, etc)

(Sorry it took so long to reply to this! Thanks for the ask!)

the parent of all time

And thus, this was when Mario realized he really wanted to be a parent

Wanted to do my take on the Shadow raising Silver trope

I NEED THIS KNUCKLES PUPPET 😍😍😍

[t4tmetalsonic]

You're kidding meee Sonic and co are actually working WITH g.u.n....... sa2 I'm so fucking sorry

[short-boii]

I’ve got a feeling that Sonic doesn’t like showing his feelings

whatever they’re watching is up to you

[smallpwbbles]

People suggesting Tom is going to die because Sonic needs to experience loss like Shadow did I need you to STOP

[e-vay]

Hear me out... Phlox is a big fan of Sonic, but has no idea this kid is his son. He's been saved multiple times by Sonic, so they've run into each other multiple times none the wiser.

Phlox deep down feels a connection... A... Paternal instinct if you will... But has no idea why watching sonic do crazy things gives him anxiety...What if Sonic got the dad instinct from him?

@angry-derp ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

THIS IS CANON NOW!!!

Sidebar: I’m over the moon that all of you have had such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to Domino and Phlox! 🥰 I love reading all your reactions, theories and ideas!

Thinking about how Sonic's been raising Tails since he was a baby, thinking about how Tails definitely slipped up multiple times and has called Sonic Dad or Mom, thinking about how Sonic definitely saves those moments to poke fun at his baby brother later. 💕
