Bold Of You To Assume I’ve Reached Peak Red Boi

The only thing I didn’t like that much was the ending, I think they were trying to go for a “with Sonic having learned his lesson, they continue to go on adventures, happily ever after :D” but that doesn’t really fit this kind of story and didn’t feel that satisfying

I feel like they should’ve at least had Sonic tell his friends about what happened and then, as he talks about what he learned after the whole experience, show how the other dimensions’ characters are doing after going back to their worlds — we spent practically the whole show with these other characters and yet we don’t even know if they still exist after Sonic and Shadow go back to Green Hill

But outside of that, I still had fun with this show and I still really like it, I wouldn’t be writing the Reverse AU if I wasn’t at least semi-interested in the concept — speaking of which, press the Keep Reading if you’re interested in how me finishing the show is gonna effect it

I feel like there’s so much negativity surrounding the show and I really bums me out cuz I genuinely did like it despite its issues, tho I get how to some its flaws are hard to ignore — I wish I could just say I like the show without having to feel the need to defend myself for it :’]

For context here’s the first post of me talking about the idea of this AU

I’m in the middle of rewriting season 2 and I want to post the complete rewrite of season 1 but I feel like

I have to make a character/cast list first cuz literally all of the New Yoke City, Boscage Maze, and No Place are different except for the Chaos Council and Big (somehow he remains the universal constant lol) AND

I still haven’t seen season 3 so I could still change it based on what I see in it — the same applies to this list honestly so disclaimer: all of this is still up for change until I finish season 3 of Sonic Prime

For the sake of this AU working, I’m saying that Sonic Prime ISN’T canon to the games and that it follows a different continuity from it — think like Sonic Boom or the live action Sonic movies where Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are there but are obviously different from their game counterparts

I’m doing this because I’m adding other canon Sonic characters to the alternate universes as people created by the Paradox Prism to take the places that Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge left behind by not being shattered — which means they don’t exist in the main universe of Green Hill in Sonic Prime, similar to all of the Chaos Council being made for New Yoke City all of them not existing outside of it

New Yoke City Characters

Like I said, the Chaos Council remain the same, but Rebel, Knucks, Rusty, and Nine are replaced by Blaze, Silver, Ultimate (NewYoke!Shadow), and Sneak (NewYoke!Sonic)

Blaze and Silver take Rebel and Knucks’ place in the story and they don’t have their powers purely cuz they’d be incredibly overpowered if they had them — the Chaos Council would’ve been destroyed day 1 lmao

Ultimate is the New Yoke version of Shadow and takes Rusty’s place in the story, tho he’s gonna have history with Sneak obviously

Sneak is the New Yoke version of Sonic and takes Nine’s place in the story — instead of being bullied like Nine, he used to be part of the Resistance along with Blaze and Silver, but after losing someone close (*cough cough* Ultimate *cough cough*) and his leg in a battle, he leaves and tries to survive on his own

Boscage Maze Characters

Prim, Gnarly, Mangy, and Thorn are replaced by Espio, Vector, Charmy, Prick & Quill (Boscage!Shadow & Sonic)

Espio, Vector, and Charmy obviously take the places of Prim, Gnarly, Mangy — the only thing that’s different is that, unlike Mangy, Charmy can talk

Prick is the Boscage version of Shadow and takes Thorn’s place in the story, shutting the others out for destroying the forest with their greed but going too far and harming the forest himself in his anger

Quill is the Boscage version of Sonic and takes the place of Thorn’s Birdie — he agrees with Shadow about the others’ greed but is also harmed as Shadow gets more and more possessive of the forest — the constant shadow (heh) of the trees blocking out the sunlight makes it is very difficult for Quill to see what’s on the ground in front of him as he runs, making it so he as to crawl just to make sure he doesn’t constantly trip on rocks or vines (also he doesn’t talk cuz I like making Sonic mute + I think it fits his role)

No Place Characters

I completely changed the story of No Place so, while I say that Batten, Black Rose, Sails, and Dread are “replaced” by Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bark, Bean, Fleet & Doom (NoPlace!Sonic & Shadow), they don’t actually fill the same roles

Mighty and Ray technically take the place of Batten, Black Rose, and Sails, but that’s only because they are part of Fleet’s crew like how Batten, Black Rose, and Sails’ were a part of Dread’s

Captain Fleet is No Place’s version of Sonic and technically takes Dread’s role, his struggle isn’t that he doesn’t want to pirate anymore, but his constant battles with his nemesis

Captain Doom is No Place’s version of Shadow and is Fleet’s nemesis — both of them have half of a map to the Devil’s Lighthouse but refuse to work together to get it because they think the other will steal the treasure for themselves — they battle every day over the map but they’ve never defeated the other

Fang, Bark, and Bean are Doom’s crew of pirates, tho they aren’t very loyal and are tired of Fleet and Doom’s repetitive battles

And that’s all of them for now!! This took a lot longer to type out than I thought, hope yall like my ideas <3

Is this mainly cuz I wanna see silly alternate versions of Shadow & Sonic and how their constant rivalry will differ in every dimension based on the role they play in it?? Yeah but I can also see a genuinely neat story come out of this with Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge taking the focal point in trying to fix everything together while having to deal with alternate versions of Sonic & Shadow either helping, inconveniencing, or straight up getting directly in their way and being very antagonistic similar to Nine, Thorn, or Captain Dread

Would Tails get too attached to whatever alternate Sonic he meets in New Yoke?? Would Amy realize that whatever alternate Sonic & Shadow are beefing about in the Boscage Maze isn’t worth resolving and leaving to deal with the actual problem of the shattered multiverse would be the “right choice”?? Would that actually be the right choice or would it cause problems later?? How would Knuckles deal with the confusing pirate world of No Place?? How would Rouge deal with being stuck in The Void, only able to watch everything unless they leave the dimensions?? How would the Paradox Prism plot work???? Would they (Tails, Amy, & Knuckles) swap dimensions every time one of them touched a shard or would all of them need to touch a shard at the same time to swap??
