“Well, platonically, I guess I would say I’m interested in furthering my familial bonds with my half siblings from other dimensions,” (Esme Starline - @mischeva / Synergy the Hybrid - @synergy-the-hybrid / Orion Starline - @totaleclipse573)

“And romantically? I’m not really sure if you would call these romantic interests, but…”

(this is gonna be kinda long, so everything else is going under the cut!)

idk how exactly to give a short answer, so i’m just gonna yap ig. i must say that they are the reason i actually ever started drawing sonic as well as my main reference of figuring out how to draw sonic style characters, so that was definitely a huge influence on what my art looks like. my artist red flag is that when i really like an art style, i get in a laser-focus tunnel-vision type mindset, and learn to copy it down to every single detail that i can. this is something that I’ve done for yeeeeeears (autism+ocd hyperfixation behavior, i could elaborate on these diagnoses later).

so, as someone new to the sonic style and absolutely hooked on head---ache’s style, yeah i was totally copying it. i’m completely aware that it is problematic, so it is something i’ve actively been working on moving away from. i am still a huge fan of their work, but i am no longer in my tunnel-vision stage, so i don’t exclusively use their artwork as a reference (at this point in time i never use their art as a reference just because i am really trying to develop my own style).

so i guess the short answer is yeah i used to copy their style entirely, but not anymore. ig the resemblance is still very much there bc of a sort of ‘style blindness’ but yeah. i’m working on it.

also i’m gonna be honest, i don’t quite understand the context of this ask; are you saying there are allegations that i’m unaware of or is this ask the allegations? which isn’t actually relevant to the answer lmao

and one last note: i mentioned having autism+ocd behaviors, but i want to clarify that i am explaining myself, not excusing myself. there is a reason behind what i’ve done, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay!

About the spark/scoundrel kid

i’m glad that the kid has fans already 😭😭

i kinda like the idea of arson, however i don’t want to go with that bc of those tiktoks making fun of the 2020 cringe thing with the main person being called arson (if you don’t know what i’m talking about that’s okay lmao). the ideas that i was thinking of are kinda in the same vein of that tbh, so lmk if you like any of them bc i’ve kiiiiiinda done a full body design now

ideas:

combust/combustion

hellfire

plasma

phase

strike

outbreak

burst

inferno

there are a LOT of fankids i love and i couldn’t list them all, so i think i’m just going to go with the second question. these are just the fankids that first came to mind off the top of my head that i would want to ship mine with (regardless of if they have canon love interests or not).

Esme Starline by @mischeva

Saiya the Hedgehog by @thesafireartist

honestly any fankid by @yourpalsalamander

Spectre the Chameleon or Prism the Cat by @funkyfandomlover (especially prism tho ooouuugghh)

Scoundrel’s eyes widen in a brief moment of surprise. He then relaxes and raises up his left hand—the one with the gem.

“I appreciate a test, but aren’t there other ways we could get to know each other?”

A magenta glow radiates from his hand, and in an instant Scoundrel disappears and reappears, this time on the outside of the flames.

hehehehe evil gem appearance

“Oh, heh.. Y’know, I don’t think I should talk about any of that…”
