Look At These Gay Doods O.o

Never posted this Ancestor pic I finished last year. A fun collab with my good friend @/IsraelSilvaArt (on Twitter/IG )! Thomas suggested the idea, I did the sketch and lineart, and Israel did the colors! All the Ladybug Ancestors known up until now! 🐞🏮 Israel also had the great idea to print this in the same material that special comic covers are printed in (since he works for Marvel) and the holofoil effect looked sooooo cool! (Timing also aligned and we all managed to sign it when Thomas was visiting Iluma Fest in Mexico last year! 😁)

Also, here's a clear process view of my part of the collab ♥️ so, many, spots 😵

“Please, do tell me more.”

When your secret girlfriend is a superhero, you don’t piss her off. lol Based on this post!!!

Today we’re going to talk once again about the star of our show, this time to put in order some recent writing pieces and concepts.

In the last 5 years, the discussion around Sonamy made giant leaps. Old preconceptions about Sonic’s creators, the relationship between East and West, and even the importance of certain continuities over others have been made obsolete, even abandoned by the fandom in favor of more updated news.

In this period of time, we saw the death of Archie Sonic and Sonic Boom; the birth of IDW Sonic; the establishment of Sonic Studio, a studio in charge of every aspect about Sonic (except videogame development); and the retirement from the series of the writers Ken Pontac and Warren Graff (2010-2019), who have been replaced by famous Archie and IDW writer Ian Flynn to write Sonic Frontiers.

Even in the fandom itself, these five years have considerably affected the conversation. Personally, I’ve been involved in Twitter and Tumblr, and the kind of debates, investigations and conclusions drawn by all these interactions have completely turned upside down my understanding of the Sonamy dynamic in more than one occasion.

This is why today we’re going to make a compilation of the articles and information about Sonamy that we hosted on Seaside Hill Paradise since 2017. Depending on the case, we could add more recent and complete information that helps us understand certain concepts tied to the dynamic.

The format will be simple: we will put the articles in chronological order, from the oldest to the most recent, followed by a short summary and some notes that can include corrections or concepts to be aware of (because they weren’t explained well at the time or because the fandom gained a better perspective with time).

Are you ready? Let’s begin from the oldest article, the one who kickstarted this important era of the blog.

Classic Sonamy redraw!

2022 - 2019

1. I have not put any warnings on this post; that does not mean there aren’t possible warnings. If you’d like to know specifically what these trigger warnings are, please privately contact me. For those who proceed, please do so at your own caution.

2. Please do not repost. Please do not translate into another language.

3. I have translated only those excerpts I wanted to. If you’d like to send asks, please kindly refrain from asking me to translate a certain part or other.

4. If you want to wait for a full English translation, reading this post will most likely, most definitely, take away some of the excitement of reading the novel.

5. Once again, same encouragement for movie posts applies: tag responsibly and place all discussion under a ‘read more’, try to keep your tweets out of the public search engine (I also recommend using fusetter); please be especially careful if you have followers who do not wish to be spoiled. Please be especially careful that this does not spread to any of the Japanese fandom, which errs on the side of caution and keeps all spoilers out of view.
