moar. things I kept thinking about while writing this #mystorey

Listen to Me When I Say: I Don't Care What You Think

I wrote more :) Actually wrote this one before the other one (and it takes place before the other one), it just needed some extra editing time (thank you @gourde !). Shadow helps Rouge recover from her top surgery, and works through some feelings on friendship, suffering, and girls.

Been doing a little writing :) Here's my fanfiction where Rouge puts some makeup on Shadow and they go style out at an art gallery

if you miss her so much, you should preorder a copy of Born To Fail from @fernsnailz shop, open until March 28th!

Yeah sure, thanks for asking! Dubbing with credit is allowed, and I'd love to see what you make!!

and a girlmode shadow as well, bc I wanted to try her quills down...

revisiting my 2022 take on transgender sonics. i stand by what I said: she'd look the same no matter what her gender.

Hopefully I'll remember to come back and add to this later, but in my agony over the way this franchise treats its main female character, I've been fomenting an idea for a dream game, which I just call Amy's Girl Adventure. The boys are all offscreen trapped in a cage or something, being NOT important, while Amy and the girls get center stage for a full adventure.

And ofc as part of this, I feel the franchise is sorely lacking in some kind of Rue to her Duck, a Homura to her Madoka, a third edgy aloof meangirl rival to her optimistic pink protagonist. Enter Anemone Black, the antagonist of Amy's Girl Adventure, who will continue to be Amy's cold and rude rival even after she is defeated; NO MORE NICE GIRLS!!!

I have a vision for Amy's Girl Adventure that I'd really like to compile in a google doc at some point, but here's the elevator pitch: a combat-focused platformer that borrows heavily from Battle and Unleashed's combat mechanics. While Sonic and co are off elsewhere, Amy decides it would be helpful to collect the Chaos Emeralds on their behalf, just in case. Unexpectedly, she finds herself in a race to collect the emeralds against a mysterious girl named Anemone, who seems bent on using the Emeralds to change the world herself. Amy must work with her friends and allies to find all of the Chaos Emeralds before Anemone can.

berry gathering...

you're so right. this should be my annual knuckles birthday tradition.

happy birthday knuckles!!!!! biiig hug from porker lewis when he finds out what day it is :)

of course

Frequent scenario I like to think about is, in the follow-up to his trip to the past, does Sonic ever tell Knuckles about what he saw? Does he ever tell him "you were wearing the ugliest clothes I'd ever seen and everyone else looked way cooler"? Or "you seemed like you were friends with the girl that sent me there"? Cuz he comes back and immediately has to do plot, but like. Would Knuckles want to know? Would he ask Sonic to tell him? If Sonic tried to recreate Knuckles' old paint, would he even recognize it...?
