Sonic Vs Shadow

[rabbithaver]

sonic rebound is really fucking impressive and everyone should watch all 6 episodes right now. the way they build onto the already solid foundation that is IDW's first arc is really fucking cool

Prologue and first (real) chapter of Sonic Rebound, a fic with a new villain and a solo hedgehog

a little reminder, for those who might not be clued in...

fleethero: takes place not long after forces. signs of sonic being more distant and reserved and... not himself would have been there - if you did manage to catch him before the next time he had to use the emeralds to fight eggman.

also takes place before frontiers. i'm not sure how large the time frame gap would be but there would need be some recovery time for him after he does come out of fleet-arc and into the next adventure. preferably several months. maybe even a year. hedgehog's got some self work & healing to do.

turns out our latest campaign section the DM had titled ‘return of the living dead boys’ was genuinely,,,,,,,,

the return of american punk band dead boys,,,,,

who were revealed to be the source of the reanimated skeletons and wraiths inside the temple ruins that the party was sent inside to investigate by the mayor over the last couple of sessions,,,

and now they are the dead dead boys

How to make the perfect marble blast clone in 2024:

aim in the opposite direction from marble it up, more responsivity, higher "game speed," bouncier marble.

instead of having the difficulty come from hefty momentum making you plan your turns ahead, have it come from the marble's spin potentially shooting off course if you don't consider each impact.

less focus on Tiny Wings style racetracks, more focus on organic jagged terrain that forces you to reckon with the shape of it directly

include a jump, but slowly phase it out. let it come to never be enough on its own, you reach heights by rebounding off sloped surfaces, doing wall hits.

only one powerup, pick it up & click to receive a boost in the direction the camera is pointing, be it laterally or vertically.

only one friction surface, marble blast platinum's Water. (extremely high friction, no bounce.)

it's a 3D precision platformer.

marble blast platinum still has the most wisdom and innovation regarding this genre, making it more than the best 3D sonic game. it made "marble maneuvering on a balance beam" into something fun and engaging. study it.

finally a metal sonic with capacity to ^^. this is what we've been missing the sonic rebound is now

[ID: A series of panels from issue 50 of the IDW Sonic comics featuring Surge the Tenrec and Sonic having a conversation. Sonic is standing ontop of a huge rock while Surge is on the floor. Their dialogue reads:

Sonic: I don't know your full story so I can't really judge. But I can't let you hurt anyone.

Surge: So end it!

Sonic: Nope. I'd rather give you a chance to rebound.

Surge: You can't be this naive.

Sonic: I like to keep it simple. I live for the moment. I want to see the world, find all its thrills and adventures, and enjoy them. I want everyone to have the freedom to do that, too. And you wouldn't get the opportunity if I took that chance away from you. I've made peace with enough enemies to know there is a better way. So I'm willing to chalk this up to "a rocky start" and let us have a do-over, if you will.

Surge: Just like that?

Sonic: Just like that.

Surge: The doctors, too?

Sonic: Even them.

End ID.]

god there really is no better current sonic characterization than idw's huh

[bunji-enthusiast]

Sorry again but that scourge fic?? TYYYYY imagine this now, you're still Sonic's friend and he's particularly protective over you, the whole Sonic vs Scourge fight begins as Scourge walks out from the portal, crown on his head, Scourge flirting with YOU as he's fighting Sonic just to mess with said hedgehog and prob you?? Ooc I think but idc right now 😭

Heavy Lies The Crown — Scourge The Hedgehog

Note || thank you! I really didn’t know what to do, so I just went off on the top of my head for that fic lol. Went off the top off of my head for this one too, but I’ll do something more proper for him in the future when I can force myself to.

WC || 480

Sypnosis || One Hedgehog, Two Hedgehogs. It can get rather confusing when the greener of the two can be very indifferent compared to your more heroic friend.

“Well ain't this interestin?” Scourge chuckled, legs pushing forward as he revealed himself forth from the portal. Right now, it was just; you, Sonic and Scourge. This was a tense atmosphere of which you were not absolutely sure you could redirect, or for that matter prevent the two from fighting. 

What the hell was with the crown though? That was a brand new addition, and in your honest opinion wasn’t a good choice of fashion for the rebellious hedgehog. 

“Leave ‘em outta this.”Sonic growled, tentatively side-stepping to block you from his view. You were albeit confused, a hint of confusion remaining on your face despite the clear clarity of the situation. 

Scourge threw his hands up in a matter of a dramatic gesture of a display, a sharp smile forming on his face, “Come on, I’m pretty sure the pretty little thing has as much business and priority in this as much as you.”

“I-”

For a moment you thought you saw the blue blur falter in his steps as he rose up to go face to face with Scourge, but you would talk about that with him later. You didn’t want to get in his way, regardless of how much you wanted to understand what the two meant. 

“Eh it’s really too bad, honestly.” Scourge mentions at one point or another, whilst in the midst of fighting Sonic. This seemed to confuse you, but you couldn’t tell with the look on Sonic’s face, it looked like he just wanted to get this done and over with. You wanted too as well, but Scourge was highly unpredictable at times that even you could not understand. “You're really cute darlin, and that’s the real shame here.”

He grins when he realizes that Sonic had stopped speaking completely, leaving all preconditions out the window. That really bothered him, and Scourge was feeling all the better with it. 

 “Maybe you should pay attention, instead of making useless comments.” You note, crossing your arms as you already had found a safe distance away from their fighting. At most, even Sonic had found himself silently agreeing with you. 

“Yeah, you gotta be sick of chasing after so many innocent mobians who had nothing to do with you in the first place.” Sonic snickers as he slides back from a rebounded attack from Scourge, he pants for a few moments as he gains his bearings again. 

Scourge’s lips almost falters, revealing a short-sighted frown. “Oh shaddup, you should be the one to pay attention chump.” He gains a running start as he attacks Sonic with a stronger dash, strength was not something the green hedgehog had lacked for a very long time now. Ever since his fortunate upgrade, he felt lucky otherwise.

To be able to gain some sort of revenge on Sonic, and mess with you too at the same time was even better.

so bizarre to me when people give fiona a redemption arc like making her evil wasnt literally like the fundamental core of making her an actually interesting character. like . ok actually i was mostly planning on just leaving the post as this but im going to make a proper post whining about this because ive seen it far too often for my liking.

it appears to me that a lot of people do this because they dislike fiona/scourge which is like. sure i get it. but you could literally just... break them up . and have her continue being awful on her own. like scourge is not the reason she switched sides and i find the idea. 1) a bit misogynistic frankly but thats more of a personal gripe than anything else like god forbid a woman make bad choices of her own volition and not because a man forced her hand into doing it (YES i am aware that abuse makes this more complicated than that but also we .... already have a relationship in archie sonic that fits this exact bill. yes it wasnt written well but the wonder of fan works is that you can always make it better. so why are we repeating it again 1:1) and 2) demeaning to the point of her character.

like. ok. lets go over the facts real quick. as a kid fiona got put in robotnik's salt mines and got accidentally left behind bc sonic & co couldnt find her. she realized that nobody was going make the effort to go save her, so she dug herself out and started life on the run as a treasure hunter/thief. she didnt ever really accept the fact that sonic and mighty not saving her wasnt really their fault, and even after becoming a freedom fighter, nobody ever said anything or apologized or said "hey wow that kind of sucks you went through all that". she never really made any actual friends within the ff or formed any meaningful bonds. she starts dating sonic, but its pretty clear that the only reason they're dating is that she's his rebound post The Slap. the moment her history with bean & bark came up - after she used that knowledge to save everybody - sally immediately turns on her and sonic is the only person to try to stick up for her. as bark and bean leave, bean also insinuates that fiona isnt really a freedom fighter, and that she's still basically one of them.

fiona is a "bad" trauma survivor. when i say "bad" i mean in opposition to the ideal tumblr trauma survivor - the sad poor uwu bean whose trauma only inclines them hurt themselves and they become more sympathetic kind etc. as a result. fiona, on the other hand, blames sonic (whose fault this is, frankly, not) for her experiences, and becomes more jaded and mean. she has no real support system and people repeatedly tell her that she hasnt changed and that she wont change and she cant change. shes already got all this baggage by the time her relationship with scourge starts carrying actual weight - he's offering her a way out. if none of them are ever going to really accept her being "good", then she might as well just give into her worst impulses and join hands with scourge, who, notably, has no stake in this - he doesnt have any obligation to be her friend like the freedom fighters, and more than that he likes her specifically because of the part of her that everybody else hates. the important part here is that he encouraged her to switch sides, he didnt make her switch sides.

id say fiona's character in a writing sense is an exploration of the failings of the freedom fighters to support a trauma victim, and how those failings, while unintentional, lead that victim to specifically turn against them. she says "ok actually screw all of you guys" and gives up on trying to be good because nobody ever gave her any real encouragement and decides to put herself on a path of self-destructive revenge and inflicting her misery onto the general population. we can also recall at this point that this motivation is entirely removed from scourge and you can literally break them up and still keep her evil.

the other important point here is that she purposefully chose that path of turning evil as opposed to leaving the freedom fighters or going somewhere else or like literally doing anything else. she literally could have just left but she did not and thats what makes her Interesting. prompted by her unhealed trauma and personal baggage she made those bad choices for herself, and frankly i cannot for the life of me understand why people think that walking back that character development (and yes i mean character development. character development can also mean getting worse) for ..... what. snarky but with a heart of gold generic protagonist girl? come on guys

like idk when metamy posts are about “haha amy still ends up with a sonic!/rebounds from sonic to a guy who looks like sonic” or “metal wants to be the superior sonic so of COURSE he’ll date amy and do it better” i don’t think. you realise that these are also bad sentiments in a relationship.

[shadowxamyweek]

What ARE your thoughts on the whole Shadow/Amy thing, Rouge?

[Rouge sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose as Amy seems to try and vanish into the couch.] Rouge:... Why are you so embarrassed? (¬‿¬) Amy: I'm not! Rouge: Well, you're acting like it. Amy: (ﾒ`ﾛ´) Well, I'm not. [Rouge cocks an eyebrow. Amy looks away.] Amy: I'm- honestly, I'm probably the happiest I've been in a long time. Not that I wasn't happy before! Please don't think that! And even though I'm also super nervous about everything, this... still makes me really happy. Rouge: Well, good! I hope it would! Amy: You're not upset? Rouge: Why would I be? Amy: I was kinda worried... you'd think the worst. Rouge: What, that this was a rebound? You don't get Sonic, so you go for 'Sonic 2.0'? [Amy flinches. There's a pause.] Rouge: ...No, sugar, I don't think that in the least. As concerned as I am for the two of you, I am happy for you. Amy: Really? Rouge: Yes. Amy: ...Rouge? Rouge: Yeah? Amy: How long did I keep Shadow waiting? Rouge: ◔_◔ Years. Amy: Oh... I was afraid I was right about that, and here we are. [Rouge shrugs.] Rouge: Couldn't be helped. Trust me, I tried. [Amy lets her face fall into her hands with a groan.]
