#colony-drop-program

and I'll be honest, I've always liked it. so last night i finally got the opportunity to ask Drop if it was okay if I adopted the Solar design, ad she agreed! :D

of course I wanted to try and give my own personal spin on the design, so this was born. I give you, Solar 2.0! (work in progress)

There's two main things I wanted to change, but keeping the design ideas.

Standardize the colors more to be in line with usual Sonic clothes, but keeping the multi colored part. Now she's watermelon themed! XD Wasn't intended but I'll take it. From there my other color choices were to try and balance out stuff.

while lining stuff for the recolor, I had a thought - Surge's quills sweep forwards/are sharp. So, what if Solar's are rounded and sweep backwards?

I do need to figure out if i want to give her some more rings on her right hand - the ring pops are amusing, i just left them out cause I have never tried one lmao. And i felt they were a bit like, outta place? idk why lol

oh and in my ideas for her, she's not quite a Surge redesign - rather, more a counterpart. Will depend on the AUs and such granted, but for now I won't spoil my thoughts.

Can’t say that anymore. I’ve posted my reasoning and opinions on Disney classics, MCU films, and classical literature. And no matter how controversial my opinion, or how heated the debate on the post, never once have I been blocked or has the debate turned to messy insults.

But one post tagging Ian Flynn and calling the opposing side of the debate “wrong” and their objections “silly” and I got a hefty helping of each! 😂

Now, in my experience, I can only be correct by saying some of the Sonic fandom can’t handle being accused of anything as bad as “being wrong” or having “‘silly objections” or I guess at the worst, “misunderstanding a character/a concept.”

It’s not your fault, Sonic. Strong characterizations apparently invite strong opinions, and strong opinions apparently must get personal when mixed with tumblr! Anywho, for the tiny crowd who’s put up with my reblogs of the same, toxic-growing post the past few days, I think it’s cooled off, sorry bout that! 😅

As a fan of IDW Sonic who keeps reading the issues purely for analyzing the comic's issues (lmao) I want to say that no, she hasn't

You might remember my "IDW SONIC #44 SPOILERS" ask, in which I basically vented about the issues I had with the book's reveal of Belle's troubled past. One thing that I forgot to mention (and you have probably guessed already) is that it gets revealed by Belle herself through a three-page info-dump

Good job, Ian! Instead of actually trying to explore Windmill Village's animosity towards Belle and Belle's mental state in the wake of the Metal Virus crisis, we get hit by "yeah, villagers were angry with her lols"

Also, I will NEVER stop nitpicking the second panel of the first page. There is no fucking way she wouldn't want to protect her dad from Shadow during #6. She was right there

As for Belle during the Zeti Hunt arc overall... She literally spent #42, #43 and #44 being kidnapped by Starline and that's it.

I'm actually serious.

Recommendation noted!

Anything before we got more info on Colours Ultimate. Goddamn, I thought people would realize that lighting and UI isn't that hard to fix up for Colours Ultimate, but some people immediately condemned Ultimate as 'another Sonic Adventure DX version' without even considering that it wouldn't be that hard to fix.
