#unbreakable bond headcanon

[niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian]

I know it's not Wednesday for this, but I have to share it before I lose it.

Unbreakable bond headcanon time:

Sonic has a little bit of a skill for woodworking, something he usually doesn't brag about, but is a cool skill to have.

Yeah, he was around 12-13 at the time, but he has the rad skills for days.

Well, he decides to make something for Tails, who was about 4 or 5 at the time, as a first birthday present to the kid.

The one thing he notices is that Tails is small, small enough to where he usually has to help him see over the counter in the kitchen or in the bathroom to reach the sink. He decides to make the kid something that will help him to reach high levels he can't reach, a footstool.

So, over the past couple of weeks, he starts to work on it, letting Tails help him with the safer stuff while he handles the more difficult parts.

"Sonic, is it ready yet?"

"Not even close to ready."

He saws and drills the attachments as Tails watches from the porch, drawing in a coloring book that he had got for him.

"How about now?" Tails called out from the window of the living room.

"Not yet!"

He files off the rough edges and places on the finishing touches. Taking a can of paint, he coats it with the with the brightest color of yellow he could find, that way the kit will be able to find it easily if he needed it when he wasn't around.

"Now?" He could hear Tails behind him, the sound of the makeshift stick sword whipping through the air as he swung it around.

"Hmm, we're getting there."

Sonic hammers in rubber stubs at the bottom, so it wouldn't slide around the wooden floors, which tended to be slippery.

"Well, now?" This kid really needed to learn the word "patience" on a daily basis.

"Let's see...."

Today was the day. He brought Tails outside, covering his eyes and bringing him over to where he had the stool.

"Ta-da! Happy birthday, keed."

The kit stayed silent as he gazed upon the footstool, his tails lowering to the ground as if he was... disappointed. Sonic felt a twinge of worry rise up on seeing his unreadable face.

He was looking forward to this for days, what's the sudden silence?

He was about to ask what was wrong before Tails beat him to it.

"It's missing a face."

"Huh?"

"It's face. It doesn't have one."

"Oh, Footstools don't usually have faces on them, bud."

"They don't?"

"No."

"Well.....can mine have one?"

After asking him in that manner without the usage of the dreadful puppy dog eyes, he couldn't say no to not at least trying to grant that wish.

He quickly rushed inside and grabbed his pocket knife, carefully carving two eyes against the surface, adding a smiling mouth to add to the detail.

He held the stool up to him, showing him the newly made face. "There you go, how does that look?"

Tails face instantly lit up as he lets out an excited gasp. "It looks so cool!"

He took it from Sonic and quickly climbed up onto it, holding his arms out as it wobbles under him.

"Look, I'm almost as tall as you now!"

Sonic compared Tails' height to his with his hand. "Oh man, you're right! You can definitely reach the ceiling with this, little guy."

Tails then flew around him, giggling excitedly. "You're the bestest, the greatest, awesomest brother ever!" He launched himself at Sonic’s torso, knocking them both down into the grass.

A painful wheeze escaped from Sonic, but he fought through it. "The bestest you say?"

"Mmm-hmm! These bestest of the best!" He exclaimed, nuzzling his cheek against his.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I love it! I'll take good care of it, forever and ever!"

"Oh, yeah? Guess I found the right kid to build it for, huh?"

(Basically, it looks like this, but with a painted yellow with a crudely craved smiley face on it)

This is so Sonic and Tails coded

[tornado1992]

No one knows where Sonic lives.

Even in his so called world renowed hero status, there’s way too little that the general public knows about Sonic The Hedgehog, sure, they know what his favorite food is, they know the names of his friends, and they know when his birthday is, but they don’t know where is he from, how is he so fast, or what is his reason to fight.

They know about most of the times he has saved the world, but they don’t know why his shoes don’t get burned by his speed, they know he can turn into a god-like glowy golden being, but they don’t know how exactly the magical jewels that do that work, they know he’s unstoppable, but they don’t know why.

Most people don’t care that much about that kind of information, even if he’s a hero, that’s his own business, even heroes need privacy; but then there’s the curiosity, the enigma, the mystery, most of those questions will be left without a solid answer, but there’s a few that should have definitive one.

Where does someone who can run around the whole globe in a matter of hours live? There’s a lot of theories.

Sonic has enough fame to have several fan clubs all around the world, and between all those fan clubs there’s been a lingering interest in the enigma of where does sonic live, between all the other questions this one is the one that gets the most possible answers, considering factors like his speed, his well known crave for adventure, his love for nature, all of it could make the difference between the right answer and the wrong answer.

At certain point, the curiosity reaches to more general public apart from the fanatism prone, and when in opportunity to talk to him, a lot of people start asking him the same question: “where do you live?” the answers all equal and all different at the same time “right here in the same world as you” “it varies from time to time” “I don’t think you could visit me”

The vagueness, the confusing contradictions, the evasion of the subject; he’s doing this on purpose. They might not know a lot about the blue speedster, but now this sole data needs to be known.

They start asking Sonic’s acquaintances instead of the hedgehog himself, they know they’re not getting an answer out of him at this point, and if anyone could have one, his friends should know it. Turns out that they don’t know.

Most of his friends being more annoyed with the fact that not even they know where he lives than about the people sticking their noses to his friend’s business was a surprise to the masses, and underwhelming, backtracking, frustrating surprise.

There’s an anonymous user online who affirms that not even the hedgehog’s arch nemesis knows where Sonic lives. Reliable sources support the statement.

The waters of nonsense gossip calm down after some time, but the question still remains, left to be more of general curiosity than lingering mystery.

A random day in a random town, a news program happens to be live outside when the speedster passes by and stops to smell the flowers around the area, the reporters ask him for a small interview, he says they have till he finishes picking up enough flowers for a crown.

They ask the same question everyone has asked for quite some time, just a different word, “Sonic, where is your home?”

Apparently the accidental rephrasing change is what finally gets it, as the speedster just says “right now? should be at mystic ruins”

He runs off immediately, the reporters left speechless, the program still on air on TV’s and the web, and the world going wild.

They finally got a straight, solid, specific answer. “That can’t be true” “but it can” “it’s logical” “it’s not” “he must’ve been joking” “he sounded serious” and more and more discussions take place around that single interview, the fan clubs are theorizing again, the general public is now more curious, and the official news from all over the globe need to confirm this by themselves.

So they ask again.

A full week later, a different city in a different country, different news reporters don’t even bother to ask him for an interview, they just run to him the moment they see the blue blur pass by and ask him again “Sonic, where is your home?!” He yells his answer without stopping:

“Last time I checked was in Central City”.

“It’s a contradiction” “then he was joking before” “he might change where he lives weekly” “we need more proof” “that was way too specific again”.

A different continent, two days later, a group of kids manage to record him when he greets them from the other side of a mountain, they ask “Where is your home?!” He yells back “I’m not sure at the moment!”

The confusion only grows, now no one knows if he’s genuinely giving true answers or full ass lying, it would be logical for him to do either. The curiosity becomes a mystery again, and people are legitimately trying to track all the locations he has mentioned to find out what is this all about. Some people even try to track him down. They try.

A whole month later, there’s a celebration near sunset city, a commemoration of some sorts, there’s been a lot of battles in way too little time so people just try to think about the party rather than the motive for it. Sonic attends the celebration along some of his friends.

A local news channel manages to reach him at the chili dog stand where he is waiting for his food while talking to the two tailed fox everyone knows is his best friend. They don’t mean to interrupt, but these opportunities are limited.

They ask the same question, the same word change that they know works: “Sonic, where is your home?”

The blue blur hangs an arm around the kit’s shoulder in a half hug as he grins widely, he says loudly: “right now, it’s right here!”

This time his home was with him.

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

[whitecatindisguise]

Headcanon time:

Sonic will call Tails "Miles" only when

1) he's super upset with him (like kid going over 24h without sleep and he just needs the kid to listen and get some shut eye)

OR

2) he's super worried/terrified about his lil bro

[0vergrowngraveyard]

imagine if, one day, sonic runs into one of tails’ parents

nothing really happens, there’s no epic showdown between the kid’s parent vs his new guardian. it’s just a normal conversation

let’s just say the parent is a journalist/reporter or something (i’m just gonna say it’s his mom)

him and tails are in spagonia for something. the kit is off talking with prof. pickle at the university and sonic is just walking around.

suddenly, a fox runs up to him, asking if she can interview him for some news site and of course he agrees. the cameras get set up and the interviewer begins speaking

“hello, this is ______ prower reporting to you from spagonia. im here with sonic the hedgehog!”

sonic stops listening until he gets asked questions. it has to be a coincidence, right? another fox with the surname prower? he realizes that this could be the kid’s mom. he doesn’t say anything about it, he just keeps it in mind

sometime in the middle of the interview, tails returns and sonic calls him over because who is the the hero of mobius without his partner? who is sonic the hedgehog with his little brother?

tails doesn’t recognize the reporter, but she recognizes him, sonic can tell

and so the hedgehog makes a big show of looping his arm around the kit and going on and on about how incredible he is (maybe he even adds in a little thing about being the kid’s legal guardian idk), leaving a very embarrassed tails and a very uncomfortable reporter

the two leave the interview early (sonic doesn’t want tails to hear the reporter’s name) and continue on with their day

(or if you want something more like sonic going mental at one or both of his parents, maybe something involving cps happens like they try to revoke his custody over tails after finding the parents or something. idk cps laws very well. just an idea)

[heckinconfusedparade]

Thinking about how Tails is technically being raised by Sonic.

Like, you have Tails, the child, he’s like 9 years old, 300 IQ, genius inventor who’s still learning and growing.

Then you have Sonic, the legal guardian, who’s like 16, fastest thing alive, free as a bird.

Sonic is very much a live your own way kind of person, and will support Tails on everything he does.

UNLESS THAT THING TAILS DOES IS UNHEALTHY OR DANGEROUS

Like, Tails is inventing, then something comes loose, and he goes “I can fix that in a few minutes! I just need to finish this first!” and suddenly Sonic is there telling him to do it now, because Tails would likely forget, and it could be bad news for him.

Skip out on a meal, or forget to eat something healthy at least once a day to keep the brain prower going? Sonic is there either reminding Tails and tailing him until he eats, or he infiltrates Tails’ kitchen to ensure he gets a warm nutritious meal instead of instant ramen. Sonic didn’t struggle to learn new recipes to keep a 4 year old healthy, just so the same kid can sabotage his health.

If Tails is injured and should be resting, you best believe Sonic is there taking care of him and making sure he doesn’t do anything stupid. Sonic wonders how this kid is alive. Sonic wonders what made Tails this way.

He realizes the answer is in the house. It’s him. He’s raising the kid, teaching him about life, and this kid is soaking up everything like a super absorbent sponge.

Tails has the greatest cheerleader ever. Sonic is his hero, his best friend, brother, mom, dad, and picket fence. He’s more of a parent to him than his bio parents ever was!

So what if every day is an adventure? Tails learned how to love and embrace opportunity!

Sonic showed him that as terrifying as the world is, you can use that to your advantage and make something of it. Change won’t happen if you sit around and wait for it!

Sonic is not the perfect role model by any means. He’s still a kid himself, with no business raising one. But he loves that kid with all he has, and wouldn’t change him for the world.

[very-uncorrect]

Can't stop thinking about Sonic getting sad because he misses all the cute little things Tails used to do when he was little that he's grown out of

[max-nico]

Older adult-ish Sonic with toddler Tails who runs up to him and just gives him the autism(tm) stare.

Sonic is just "????? What's up kid??" Kinda confused but always willing to hear the kit out.

Tails, very forcefully states, "The North Empire X-15 holds the record for the fastest speed ever achieved by a manned, powered aircraft. It reached a top speed of Mach 6.72, or 4,520 miles per hour, OR 7,274 kilometers per hour during a flight in 1967." And very gleefully looks up at Sonic for validation.

It's a bit of a surprise, definitely not what Sonic expected to come out of the kids mouth, and he only partially understood what he said, but he very nonchalantly responds "eh, seems kinda slow to me. I could beat it, no sweat."

And little Tails is just.... In awe, and genuinely thinks Sonic is literally the coolest thing ever

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

Gonna drop another headcanon for Wholesome Wednesday :))

We've got Classic Sonic & Tails here, right? Doing what looks like a fist bump from afar.

Ya know the headcanon that Tails used to be sensitive to touch because of all the bullying he endured before he met Sonic?

What if this was a little thing that Sonic came up with for them, so they could still show some degree of affection with each other while Tails was still uncomfortable with touch? A fist bump that didn't make physical contact? And even if/though they do touch in other scenes, they still do this little thing now and then as a little reminder of how far they've come. 💙💛

[inefficientstory]

Considering Sonic and Tails grew up together, I wouldn't be surprised if not only personality/habits were picked up by each other but simple things that mainly happen because of their more animalistic instincts/sides

ie. Maybe they get into a small quarrel, and since Sonic is a hedgehog, he makes hissing/popping/clicking noises, and since Tails is a fox, he starts doing those fox screams and stuff.

But since they've been around each other so long, there's also a mix of Sonic mimicking Tails' screaming and Tails mimicking Sonic's hissing and popping/clicking noises.

[nortedwayfinder]

Headcanon: Before Tails met Sonic, finding food was never a guarantee. He discovered pretty early that eating mint leaves would help curb his appetite when food was scarce.

Even now, after years of feeling safe while living with Sonic, he finds that mints are a huge comfort food for him.

That's it that's the tweet.

[lazorbeanz]

Wouldn’t it be funny if Tails was scolded or put in a situation where Sonic would call him by his full name, but instead of saying “Miles ‘Tails’ Prower,” he’d call him “Tails (Prower) The Hedgehog” lol

Whether he’d do it unintentionally or not, they both would need a moment to think about what was just said

[tornado1992]

If I ever were to make a baby Tais AU I would call it “Soldier boy AU” because

Apparently it also means “gift from God” so, yeah, he is one indeed

[000marie198]

When Tails was knighted, the most excited, on the edge of the seat, vibrating with joy person in the entire court was actually the king.

He had to be constantly scolded by a tired sword to have some decorum and looked two seconds away from hopping up and down even while he was knighting the fox
