hey you know how sans determines how many times you've fought him based on facial expression? he can tell when you've been dunked on, when you see his first attack for the first time, when you've survived it once, when you've survived it twice... all based on facial expression. each time you die to him and reset, he has absolutely no memory of the past fights, meaning each battle seems like the first one to him.

so how does sans feel when that expression is nothing but boredom? when his first attack is dodged without even flinching? how does he feel when each of his attack patterns are being dodged with near perfect muscle memory—and as the battle keeps going, he knows he's getting more and more tired and that he can't keep fighting for much longer? no matter what he does, none of his attacks work.

there's no shock, no surprise in their face—just utter indifference, and the impatience of someone who's seen this many, many times before. imagine how he feels as the realization slowly dawns on him that this is probably the time they succeed.

They know what they're doing. The people they're signaling to know what they're doing. Those of us trained in spotting this stuff for our own safety know what they're doing.

It's time that everyone else stops giving them the benefit of the doubt

Sonic was never seen again

saw this post and had to draw it lol

Are there any other interesting tidbits/changes in the Sonic movie novelization?

I’ll be honest, I didn’t read the first book lol I was really only interested in whether the writers had given Tails more of a backstory (which they did… kinda), so that’s why I read the second. However! I did read reviews online that said the first developed Tom & Sonic’s relationship more than in the movie.

Notable mentions in the 2nd book:

•Sonic 2 takes place 8 months after Sonic 1

• Tails spent many months seemingly looking for Sonic… He built those weapons Maddie & Rachel used at the wedding to account for the “natural disasters, dangerous adversaries, and booby traps” he encountered. (I mean!! That’s a whole tv show in itself!!)

• He also built a gun that atomizes things and he’s afraid of it, but he keeps it in his arsenal as a last resort. The text says that he isn’t sure it should be used, which is so interesting to me.

• I think he originally set out to look for the Master Emerald, but the Miles Electric (not what it's called in this universe but that’s what it is) kept picking up its energy across different planets... and somehow he knew that energy belonged to Sonic?

• Earth is the planet the rest of the galaxy is warned about lol

• Knuckles calls Sonic a Child of Mobius. Tails says that's "the traditional home of our kind".

• Tails is looking to find Sonic before “their enemies” do (weird that they have common enemies when they’ve never met?? WHO has Tails pissed off?????? Paramount!! I need to know!!)

• He was ready and willing to prepare Wade's garage for a siege attack (in exchange for stealing the police cruiser and driving it off a cliff). So, again—who has Tails pissed off?

• Instead of "The Master Emerald? That's just a bedtime story!" "Well, he believes it's real," it's "That's just a bedtime story!" "No, it's real. I should know. I think I’m one of the few still looking for it.” (What if one of his ‘enemies’ is Rouge? 👀)

• Tails runs the red light, and Sonic takes the wheel. Meanwhile, Tails climbs in the backseat of the cruiser to build speed boosters mid-chase 'cause Sonic was complaining they were going too slow xD. (This is where the "Promise? Promise you won't go anywhere?" happens :'))

• Tradition among the echidnas was to do an organ swap to make an alliance. Knuckles just breaks Eggman's hand instead, but that's… a part of the lore now. (edit: this is in my Top 5 favorite things from this book. I can imagine someone pitching this idea & the writer’s room going “what the fuck this is a kids movie” lmao)

• Tails offered to help Sonic in Siberia. No "I'm not a field guy!" protests here!

• Short Tails vs Eggman on the mountain (with very Sonic Raised Tails vibes 🥹; the text even says "Tails mocked the villain, almost like Sonic would have")

• Sonic doesn't believe he can fight Eggman and Knuckles alone after the wedding. Tom actually gives him a pep talk.

• Eggman's full name is Ivo Gerald Robotnik (Is that canon in other sonic medias?? I tried looking it up, but I don't see his name like that anywhere, yet I swear I already knew before I read it… *Is his full name canon, I mean. Ivo Gerald Robotnik.)

• Book Sonic reminds me of Modern Sonic more than his movie counterpart sometimes tbh

• There are multiple holograms of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails at the start of the robot fight instead of just Tails.

• Maddie and Tom literally run through fire to reach Sonic

• Tails names Super Sonic!

• Instead of summoning a chili dog to prove he's not been corrupted by the Emerald, Sonic makes a fart noise with his armpit that has the "decibel of a bomb blast"

• Sonic recreates the Master Emerald, not Knuckles

• "Gotta go fast!" (when Sonic is running across the ocean to meet Eggman and Knuckles at the temple) and "Way past cool!" (post-battle when Tails introduces Knuckles to the power bump)

It’s been years and it still baffles me how fuckin’ hard the Sonic X writers went in the third season. Like, the setup with the space thing with the aliens that threaten galactic genocide, sure, fine. It’s probably on the darker end of Sonic plots, but sight unseen, I’m like 85% sure there’s an Archie Sonic arc that’s somehow more horrifying. Whatever. That’s all more or less within the bounds of expectation.

But the payoff of all that Mass Effect shit?

“Hey kids, wanna see Tails in catatonic emotional shock with a thousand-yard stare asking everyone to leave him alone before shooting his best friend at his romantic interest and possibly kill both?”

“Wanna see every step of him gradually losing his resolve and breaking down, trembling all the while, utterly unable to bring himself to shoot his best friend at his romantic interest and possibly kill both?”

(Note how he furrows his brow deeper, as if to steel himself, before the dam bursts.)

“Wanna see him lash out in anger and frustration over broken promises before Dr. Eggman steps in as the voice of reason?”

“Wanna see him emphatically refuse again to shoot his best friend at his romantic interest and possibly kill both after said romantic interest asks him to shoot her again?”

“Wanna see him on the verge of what is almost certainly a confession of love mere moments before pushing the button and ensuring his romantic interest dies by his hands?”

“Wanna hear the old ED about a love that cannot be, as the blast travels towards his love interest and she imparts her final words?”

“Oh yeah, also, you can’t hear it, because that song’s playing over it, but he’s definitely screaming his lungs out in what is almost certainly the most intense emotional anguish of his life. See?”

“And hey, as a bonus, in the next and last episode, not only do you get to hear him scream her name,”

“but you also get to see him realize that his best friend couldn’t bring her back!”

“That’s what you want out of your Sonic the Hedgehog show, right?”

(You can hear his throat giving out as he wails in that last one, by the way. Look it up, good stuff.)

Someone on that production team either really hated or really liked Tails, because anything less cannot adequately explain why someone not even old enough to be a tween had to be put through an emotional wringer this extreme as the conclusion to an entire season of a Sonic anime.

And, I don’t know, I feel like someone at Sega and/or Sonic Team had to sign off on all of this? Like what the fuck, guys? Did you all just decide “Yeah, Tails can have some time in the spotlight, and a romantic interest, and severe emotional trauma as a direct result of having to kill said love interest, as a treat.”

I’m not saying they shouldn’t have, but holy shit.

how about you draw tails with a character you wish he’d interact with more?

it was him or starline
