My Theory on Pachacamac and The Iblis Trigger

There is talk about how much they changed Pachacamac from a warmongering, power hungry tribal leader, to a goofy grandpa figure, but I think the truth of Pachacamac's nature might be somewhere between the two interpretations. Despite his friendliness, you can't forget he did lead a clan that wiped out the owls with a singleminded focus on capturing Sonic and reclaiming The Master Emerald. Pachacamac, now a ghost, has visited Knuckles to tell him he needs to expand his tribe. There are no other echidnas left, so he asks the sole survivor to take on an apprentice. "Show him our customs, teach him our traditions, and soon our tribe will grow once again."

There is no acceptance or acknowledgement of the fact that the clan's current situation is the result of a bloody feud and the destruction of an entire race besides their own. There is also, unsettlingly, no acknowledgement of Tails, Sonic, or The Wachowskis as members of Knuckles' clan.

While there are questionable elements to Pachacamac's approach, his motivations are at least understandable. Knuckles is a minority– the last of his tribe and the only surviving member of his species, so of course his old chief wants to see their traditions and culture preserved.

Things only get really weird when Pachacamac takes hold of Wade– Knuckles' apprentice and the soon-to-be new addition to their clan–and rewrites history. Rather than the tale of a lone owl that the echidnas hunted down in a quest for power, the story is instead of an entire flock of owls that were the aggressors, killing off Knuckles' tribe and burning down his village for no reason other than for the sake of the slaughter.

Similarly, Knuckles isn't described as a lost child left behind, but a fellow warrior who battled alongside his father until the bitter end.

So, knowing that Pachacamac's version of events is wrought with lies leads to one very serious question: What is the true story of Knuckles' battle with Iblis? If there's one thing we know about The Echidna Clan, it's that they are fixated on raw power. They're a warrior-focused society where the best fighter gets the highest honor and the most privileges. They were the ones who crafted The Master Emerald from the seven chaos emeralds. They were the ones who tracked down Sonic when he was a child with the intention of obtaining his power, before Long Claw wiped them out in her final struggle.

And who else do we know that was accidentally unleashed in a reckless pursuit of power?

Iblis, the raw power of the sun god Solaris. Iblis, who was sealed away within a child using the power of the chaos emeralds.

Now, there's no doubt that "The Flames of Disaster" in the SCU are very different from "The Flames of Disaster" in Sonic 06. In the movie universe the flames are merely a type of wieldable power rather than the name of an apocalyptic event. However... what better way to rewrite the fact that the echidna tribe nearly caused the end of the world and locked an immortal fire demon within an echidna child, than by pretending that The Flames of Disaster is just an inherent ability Knuckles unlocked through an epic battle?

What if "The Flames of Disaster" wasn't a power he obtained through a magnificent fight, but a power he survived after it was thrusted upon him by his elders? ... What if one of the many, many reasons reasons his father didn't let him join the fight was out of fear of what would happen if he cried?

Sonadow dating headcanons

Content: Sonic headcanon, Shadow headcanon, Sonadow headcanon, fluff, not tied to canon

Sonic! Who owns multiple sweatshirts but always rips them off because they feel restricting. He's more a loose t-shirt guy

Sonic! Who can't sleep on his left side, only his right. There's no reason for it he just can't. Except when he's with Shadow..

Sonic! Who's a morning person. Up before the sun on a morning run around the town at least 5 times.

Sonic! Who has a pile in his closet, only stolen clothes from Shadow. Shadow does not know about said pile.

Sonic! Who kicks in his sleep so much Shadow has, on multiple occasions, kicked him out of bed at night.

Sonic! Who can't stand the sound of storms and thunder. It scares him.

Shadow! Who can't stand the sound of storms and thunder. It doesn't scare him. It's just too loud.

Shadow! Who loves the smell of fruity stuff. Especially tropical or citrus fruit. Might be because of Sonic..

Shadow! Who is a night owl. Sleeps all morning until near sunset and rather gets everything done late when the world is quiet.

Shadow! Who has a worryingly large collection of vinyls. He doesn't listen to them much. Maybe he just likes saying he has them.

Shadow! Who keeps losing a bunch of his shirts. He has no idea where they go. They just disappear from him. ;)

Shadow! Who grumbles a lot in his sleep. Sonic can never quite tell if he's awake and mad or asleep.

Sonadow! Who cuddle together when it's stormy. Both are disturbed for different reasons.

Sonadow! Who love watching horror movies. Never alone. Always together.

Sonadow! Who've started automatically changing positions when spooning, it's like an instinct that works even when they're asleep.

Sonadow! Who have worked out a delicate system of who takes who on dates and who pays what. No one else gets it.

Sonadow! Who have their own assigned pillows. If the pillows get swapped, neither can relax or sleep until they're swapped back.

Sonadow! Who can't exactly explain their relationship to anyone. It is what it is, and it works for them.

tried to give amy a cute dress and now she looks like strawberry shortcake but that's fitting I suppose

[mecha-shadow]

If Metal ever wanted a piercing, she'd either solder something on to give the effect, or he'd fuckin drill a hole like through its ear or something and clip a lil charm to it like an old phone charm. To me.

[lazorbeanz]

This is so Sonic and Tails coded

[major-wren]

yk how when a dog is raised in a really small space, it'll pace in endless circles even after years have passed and even when there's enough space? Yeah, that but with Shadow. I imagine the Lab section of the ARK wasn't very huge, or was full of fragile glass and tech anyway.

Bonus:

[rabbithaver]

in the sonic universe there is a subreddit called r/sonicspotting and it's just people posting single frames of a blurry flash of blue taken from footage from their doorbell & security cameras. he's like a cryptid except you can ask him for autographs and he'll oblige

[franticmelody]

My friend and I are discussing how each Sonic character would text and I realised that if, on the rare occasion, Omega WOULD need to get into contact with someone, he wouldn't simply text or call. No. He would hack the communication lines with his brain, and send his message exclusively to your phone as an emergency alert. He's the most important robot after all, so his message should take priority.

Fun fact: a good chunk of animals are colorblind with hedgehogs being said to not see red well

a little mini-comic about Barry’s “always check the trash” shtick

[goldenstrwbrry]

My favorite headcanon for sonic is he is absolutely OBSESSED with arcade machines. He can’t even be near one or else he’ll become crazy and try to beat EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. Basically spends all his money (kinda like gambling) and Tails has to come to rescue him….

[sonichaunt]

Doodle of a headcanon, people usually say Silver is Shadow's or Sonic's descendant, but personally I think he was created as a way to deal with Iblis. I think one of Eggman's descendants would have been the likely one to do it. I go more into it in my personal 06 rewrite, that I might work more on at some point, but in it both Silver and Blaze's powers are connected to Solaris, which is why Silver can travel through time and despite changing the past still continues to exist.

Headcanon that Sonic's version of any research, even if it's to check the meaning of a word or learning factual information about a topic, is asking Tails

[viliantropy-art]
