[ifindus]

I just love your family art <3

can I request other siblings that you usually not draw? Italian bros, german bros, North American bros, monaco and france etc. there are others but I can't think of them in the moment right now🫣

Thank you! 🥰

Of course you can! I'm always up for drawing things that aren't the Nordics - the variation is great and I love figuring out how to draw different characters ✨

I am so happy that Branch is given the story that he wanted in this movie. He deserved so much respect and attention here, and that’s exactly why I love him so much. 😍🥰💙

Oh ho ho what a highly interesting question, anon👀

(Answered under the cut because it's a bit long)

ㅤ

Before I give my proper answer, allow me to explain a bit of my interpretation of Tails. I actually see him as a sort of naturally jealous person with some innate possessive tendencies who has grown used to curbing these tendencies of his, which he had to do due to a number of factors.

One major reason is due to Sonic himself. To me Sonic has always had a complicated relationship with different kinds of love or attraction (and I do see him as on the aro/ace spectrum). So, when absolute strangers (or those he doesn't particularly like) obsessively pursue him for clear romance/possessive reasons, he tends to react with strong rejection or indifference, in contrast to how he welcomes ego stroking and praise from those who can be merely categorized as "fans" (or those he does particularly like). To me, Tails' initial admiration and pursuit of joining with and becoming like Sonic very well parallels how Amy Rose began to admire and pursue a romantic relationship with Sonic. Even if we consider that Sonic did save Tails that one time from being bullied (according to Sonic Prime and a new animation for Sonic 2 present in Sonic Origins), his pursuit of trying to work together with his hero (which is detailed a bit more in the jp manual for Sonic 2, and includes Tails going so far as to follow after Sonic everywhere and modify Sonic's plane) really isn't any more "normal" than how Amy begins to pursue a romantic relationship with her hero after Sonic saves her from Metal Sonic. The only real differences here were that Amy was explicitly pursuing romance, and that Sonic rejected Amy's advances but eventually took Tails on as his sidekick/little buddy.

This is also not to mention the implications here and there in what we can find of Sonic and Tails' backstory that Sonic would continue to run away and pretend he did not care, while secretly keeping an eye out for Tails.

And beyond that, as one of Sonic’s oldest friends, Tails gets to spend a lot of time around Sonic, and gets to see firsthand how he reacts to romantic prospects, his complicated relationship with "love" as a concept, and is present as Sonic’s group of friends steadily grows.

With all of that, I at least see Tails learning to deal with his innate jealousy and possessiveness so

Sonic doesn’t reject him

Because he doesn't want to keep Sonic from pursuing relationships with others

And for the sake of one's image/being a good person

If Tails has learned that confessing and making his romantic intentions clear could lead to Sonic rejecting him or it ruining their friendship (since he's seen first hand how Sonic has reacted in certain cases to love confessions or overt romantic affection), it makes sense to me that he would try to hold his feelings back (both those that are not squarely platonic and are explicitly romantic and/or sexual). And when it comes to Sonic, there's a guilt factor and an impossibility factor when it comes to keeping him from other people. Not only would Tails feel at least a little bad for restricting him, but Sonic does not respond well to being controlled. Now of course, how he reacts does depend on the time of his life and who it is, but there is nevertheless a futility in trying to control Sonic "I have no master except the wind that blows free" Hedgehog. And finally, my view on both Sonic and Tails, well... I believe that image and visual alignment is a big thing for these two, and that the two are secretly more...in the gray (or at least, that they're surprisingly immoral so to speak). In their origins to me, Tails is just a kid, minding his business, who does not inherently seek to hurt others (though his faith in those around him does matter), and Sonic is just a kid, free as the wind, who doesn't particularly care about being a good guy, but loves the attention. Essentially, though he does save some people on whim, the idea is that Sonic originally fights Robotnik simply because the Doctor, his machines, and his pollution have such a negative effect on his home. So beyond this point, he fights as a hero both out of interest of having his home intact/being alive, and because (simply put) he likes what comes from being considered a hero (all the praise and perks). And so because Sonic is someone that Tails admires, because Sonic has to uphold a baseline image or reputation so he can still be considered a hero/good guy, Tails becomes accustomed to doing the same. That's a bit of an oversimplification (how I see them and why is the subject of a proper essay about that), but the point is that Tails is also conscious that trying to overtly control or manipulate Sonic would not objectively be considered "hero or good guy behavior", especially if it goes too far.

And so with all of that plus the fact that Sonic has never seemingly accepted anyone's romantic inclinations or dated anyone, Tails curbs his natural inclination towards jealousy and possessiveness so he can be content enough to be at Sonic's side. Perhaps there are more friends Sonic is going to get, people he's going to show an interest in, but Tails can put stock in the fact that it's unlikely that Sonic will date anyone. Plus, even if that somehow does happen, Tails is largely fine as long as he's guaranteed to be by Sonic's side no matter what. So as long as he can be with Sonic forever, no matter their relationship, he's as content as can be.

ㅤ

But then Sonic starts dating Nine, right?

And hahaha don't get me wrong here. Tails is pretty practiced. He's not gonna blow up or anything.

But once he gets past the initial shock of that being true, I think he just feels jealous and conflicted by default. I mean, he's just been accepting that there's no hope of ever being in that kind of relationship with Sonic. And not only has someone gone and done it, it's not just anyone.

It's a version of him.

And if a version of himself managed to do it (a version of himself who once lashed out at and fought against Sonic no less), then what does that mean about him? Does it mean that there's something about Nine Sonic likes better? Does it mean that he's had this entire situation wrong? Does it mean he lost his chance and he'd been so afraid for nothing? Does it mean that he could have had that this whole time?

And that's not to mention navigating this. Even if I believe Sonic is very very capable of having multiple best friends or even partners, it's only natural for Tails to get a little afraid of being replaced (especially if he learns that Sonic also considered/considers Nine as a best friend also)

But Tails is the type to not want to burden Sonic with all of this while becoming increasingly more worried. And although he would naturally have a complicated relationship with Nine, I still think he would generally like him and not want to take out his feelings on him. So with that being said, I think he'd sort of try to hold it in and act normal while really not acting all that normal, because though he could hide his feelings better if he wanted to, he still kind of lets it slip because he kind of does want to talk to Sonic about it or let his feelings be known.

I think that whenever Sonic eventually does see that Tails is acting a bit off he'll eventually talk to him about it or try to get him to, but, honestly, even if Sonic could say things (true things) that would make him feel better, I don't think Tails could be as content as he would be if it was idk... Knuckles or Shadow or what have you. Because if it was anyone else, Tails could be more content knowing that his relationship with Sonic is special and that he'll always be by his side, even if he's dating someone else.

But with the fact that the person that Sonic has chosen to date is another version him—a version of him which Sonic has also kind of clearly developed a similar "best friendship" with? I feel that even if Sonic tries to reassure him, Tails will forever be plagued with bitter and jealous feelings. Even if he'd never force Sonic to stop dating anyone, much less force him to date him, I don't think he can even really feel content here unless Sonic chooses to date him also if that makes any sense.

So, yes. That's my answer. Tails would try to be really good about it, but he's still bitter and annoyed and jealous and wondering if he's enough or has been doing something wrong. He's wondering why it couldn't have been him. And he won't be able to just be content at Sonic's side if he can't also be with Sonic. So while I can't say how long it will take, something will have to give eventually. I think at some point in their future, Sonic will have to tackle his specific feelings for Tails and they'll have to talk about their specific relationship, especially if he's dating Nine right in front of him.

Got any more Akira headcanons to share? I could use some more objectively correct info about the borblo

Hobie my beloved Hobie you know I absolutely do

Autism ❤️

I think I have said it before but fuck it were saying it again, I really like the idea of his glasses being his metaphorical safety blanket. They act as a physical barrier between him and the world and I think they would make eye contact less itchy for him (this is actually an idea I play around with in my fics a lot so if you’re paying attention it’s a good indicator of his mental state)

I believe wholeheartedly that he can cook (strikers is right there it gave us the evidence) but I think he often struggles with cooking for himself. Just too much time and effort and it would be so much easier to just eat whatever, but when he’s got an external motivator (ie other people who are depending on him) then he finds it very doable to cook proper meals

He was totally one of those kids who could read an entire book in one sitting. Absolutely ravenous about them, book fairs were his shit, he would get an entire pile of books (most of which were about special interests) and then read them with his big autistic eyes 8000 times

I like the idea of him helping Ryuji do his hair and being really good at it bc he’s very meticulous and good with his hands. Boy really maxed dexterity and he’s making full use of it by never getting even a speck of bleach on his boyfriend’s skin

He dresses well, albeit rather plain as a teenager, but I think he gets a lot more comfortable expressing himself when he’s older on account of having a secure group of friends to back him up. He is just such a guy who would have piercings and have such a collection of accessories and shiny things to decorate himself with, and I think he would have such fun with it

Genderfluid Akira. Need I say more? He’s literally the most gender guy ever and I think he should use whatever pronouns he wants forever and wear pretty dresses and put makeup on and make everyone confused all the time

And finally I think he’s in gay love with Ryuji and they kiss about it all the time 🥰

sorry, thinking about babies again, you know how it is 😔 were Belle and Adam around when their kiddos said their first words or took their first steps? or did one of 'em (or both?) accidentally miss it because of Royal Duties ?

dude literally never apologize for thinking about blorbo babies. what is the point of life if you can’t freaking think about BLORBO BABIES!!!!!!!!

AHHH!!! i adore this. i don’t have set-in-stone headcanons about ALL of this quite yet. i’ll just list some things i DO know for sure☺️

i’ve headcanoned for years that renée and maurice both said mama first, but juliette said papa first 🥺 she’s been a papa’s girl since the BEGINNING.

i don’t quite know how it happens with renée, but i do know that she was saying mama for like WEEKS before she finally said papa. it became a joke. adam kept being like “no i get it :/ she just doesn’t like me :/“ and belle would be like >:0 STOP IT!!!!!!!! the same way they were when belle was pregnant with her and she wouldn’t kick for him lmao. i don’t know how she eventually says papa, but gosh, adam just explodes the first time he hears it. the first time his own child sees him and knows for certain that he’s her papa 🤧

for juliette, she was sitting on belle’s lap, and adam walked in. belle said “ah! there’s papa!” and juliette just suddenly said “papa!🤗” which SHOCKED adam and belle. juliette didn’t really start speaking until she was around 2, (just like her father, which no one realized until one day they were venting their worries about her to mrs. potts and she was like “don’t even worry. adam didn’t start speaking until that age either!” and he was like HUH??? - which leads to a whole spiral about how his father treated him and such… which then leads to adam feeling so sad and scared and not wanting his baby to have the struggles that he has… but belle reminds him that she already has so much more support and love in her life. even if she has his struggles, she’ll always be loved and cared for. which heals something deep inside adam ❤️)

gosh, so anyway, little two year old juliette looks up at her father and says “papa!” and both adam and belle are like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! adam immediately goes to sit next to them and he’s grinning so wide and he says “yes! yes very good! i am papa!” and he picks her up and kisses her cheek and sits her on his lap and she says it again and adam and belle are laughing and kissing her head. it’s a beautiful moment 🥹

i also have an almost-done wip of the first time reecy says mama. belle was laying with him on the bed, trying to get him to nap with her. he was like exactly a year old, very babbly and wiggly. already very nearly walking too. but anyway, belle’s laying there with him, and she says something like “let’s rest awhile. will you rest with mama?” and he looks at her with those big blue eyes and grins and says “mama!!😁” and belle’s like !!! AH!! 😄😄 and snuggles with him and celebrates it and he keeps saying it, seeing how happy it makes her. it becomes even harder to settle down for a nap after that, but belle doesn’t even care!!!

so i guess adam DOES miss that moment!! but i think reecy easily says it again later on when adam was there, which of course warms adam’s heart 🥰

i also think they all say a rough form of the dog’s name, sylvie, like “seevee” or “sivy” pretty early on as well. i’ve even debated if maurice says that first, before he says mama. that may be the case!!!! they also all say “book” pretty quickly too. and like. who can be surprised.

FIRST STEPS THOUGH… agh. i’m even less certain about honestly

i’m not sure about the girls, though i know renée started walking at like 9-10 months old (which is sooner than average) and juliette was nearly 2 (which, as you can surmise, is later than average).

maurice though i think he did it WITH his sisters. i got this from a video i saw once, i’ll send it to you, it was literally 3 kids like the same dynamic as adam & belle’s. 2 girls roughly kid age (though they’re a bit older in the video, but same vibe) and a baby boy. and the video was him playing with the girls, and he was standing at a toy play thing. and he started reaching for the older girl, and it was clear that he had been on the cusp of figuring it out for a bit, so the girl quickly backed up and held a toy away for him to reach for. the baby boy then kept reaching and TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS!!!! he walked a few steps to her and fell into her lap. it’s SOOO cute and ever since i saw that, i’ve integrated it into my canon. i think that’s totally how maurice took his first steps. it Makes Sense that it would happen with his sisters 😭 and obviously in the video, a parent was recording, but idk where adam and belle are for this moment! maybe they’re there and watching, or MAYBE this is a crazy occurrence that happens for a split second when they’re both not looking. only looking up when they hear the excited cheers from their beloved children 🥹🫶

Suggestion for that idea of Michael hiding inside a Fredbear suit: Combine them. Evan is nice. Or he seems nice. At first. There is a slow horrible realization for Michael and the reader that this poor boy isn't okay. Evan finally has his brother's attention, finally has a brother who says he loves him and apologizes and Evan *refuses* to let Michael leave him again. ("The springlocks only hurt for a moment. Then we can friends forever.")

(post to which anon is referring)

OH that is so mean, i LOVE it

just like,, Evan's been isolated and alone for years with nothing but his own pain and fear. Then, finally, someone finds him, someone sees him! Not only that, but this person is his brother; his brother is empathizing with him and treating him kindly after years of Evan believing he wasn't worthy of such a thing, hence Michael's tormenting and Evan's eventual death.

Saying that Evan "isn't okay" to me implies one of two things: 1) that Evan has still been carrying around the emotional trauma that Michael's abuse scarred him with and thus is emotionally "not okay", or 2) like the other animatronics, Evan's spirit has been twisted into something that, if not outright malicious, then doesn't understand the reality around him or the consequences of his own actions and is liable to (accidentally) kill, and is therefore psychologically "not okay."

But either interpretation could easily loop back around to "Evan spent a long time in his very short life being tormented and abused and quite possibly believing he deserved it, and now that he's been shown a single ounce of kindness from someone he loves, he is NOT letting that kindness escape no matter the cost."
