hi! Im olive/grace/chelsie/whatever I currently go by lmao

I use she/it/they pronouns + neos, I’m an artist and illustrator (animation is a trade I’m planning on getting into), I dabble in game dev and 3d art sometimes, and I am also. Autistic. And neurodivergent.

!DNI!: proshippers, pro-para (zooph1les + p3dos), flumban supporters (those are brothers ew?), incest supporters, anything under the label proshippers basically. Also don’t send asks if ur nsfw, most of my friends — and myself — are minors.

IM CLARIFYING THIS AGAIN:

I AM A MINOR AND MOST OF MY FOLLOWERS ARE MINORS DNI IF YOU ARE AN NSFT/W ACCOUNT

more under the cut!

Because of the mandates that arose post-the Ken Penders lawsuit, there have been two in particular that stuck out to me- that Sonic isn't allowed to show excessive emotion, and that Sonic or his friends are not allowed to form romantic relationships. That's the layman's interpretation of the mandates btw

Because of these mandates we're not really ALLOWED to try and prod deep into Sonic's psyche, at least not in any definitive manner because all we're left with is speculation at this point in time

Is it really that important for anyone to try and dissect the mindsets and personality of a cartoon hedgehog- honestly NO because clearly SEGA refuses to try and flesh him out too deeply because they like playing on the safe side of the road

We do get crumbs sometimes though. Like Movie!Sonic- who's been known to express deep emotions and him being emotional is what really starts the story- in a brilliant display of what bottled up emotions might look like for this hedgehog that we've always just known to be laid-back and carefree

And I think the brilliance in there is that he's still the same laid-back and carefree hedgehog we've grown up to know. It's just that Movie!Sonic was GIVEN a past and a valid reason for his prolonged isolation and the deep-seated emotions that come with it like- this is a Sonic that is more afraid of being alone than he ever was of being chained down, heck they don't mention that side of him at all and though it's subtle that he still does value freedom and living in the moment, his fear of abandonment and being alone overrides that side of him once he's finally able to get a taste of what it feels like to have a family. Throughout the movie we see Sonic yearn for and grasp at opportunities to connect with people, and by the end of it he finds himself being taken in by a loving family that he can trust and have fun with- he isn't alone anymore.

I should note too that this Sonic probably has never had to constantly fight robots and other things to survive- just following his late mentor's advice and hiding and running from danger. The powers that he was born with force him into hiding- thus making his isolation necessary. He's free, sure- but is weighted down by the unfulfilling nature of his freedom.

Game! Sonic- who I can just IMAGINE was fighting and running and saving people all his life, has a different kind of freedom. It's a fulfilling one, because in his world he recognizes early on that he's someone with special powers and is able to help people with them- and we see him use that power time and time again as he defeats Eggman repeatedly, freeing animals and entire zones from Eggman's control while doing so

Game! Sonic recognizes that he is a hero and this is why he runs- because he has a love of life so strong that he can't stand to see it destroyed at the hands of rampant ecoterrorism. He's carefree, but at the same time you also get the sense that he's detached from those he saves or runs into- it's almost hesitant how he subtly avoids having to attach himself to those he inspires like Tails and Amy in his early years. Unlike Movie! Sonic, Game! Sonic never really yearns for others, nor does he have a fear of being abandoned- and this isn't to say he's completely detached like say, Shadow- but it's more or less interesting to see that he's not all that simple in this regard. He's unconditionally and is by nature a good person, but he's careful not to get too close whilst still bringing joy and a feeling of solace to those he manages to inspire. Notice that in every game incarnation he shows up in he never really leans too hard into the fact that he is- undoubtedly- a hero, and in the instances that he does he is insistent on attributing his heroic deeds to the people who have accompanied him, the true power of friendship and all that jazz

as i've mentioned before, stars have multiple forms, which they can alter as much as they wish and which can experience damage (scarring, wounds) but do not age and can not die naturally.

this is an open masterpost, meaning i will continually add to this with my ideas as i develop the universe. everything here is subject to change, but it is 100% editable, open and encouraged for anyone to add their personal ideas if they like!

let's start with the basics. star forms come in multiple types, and those which are known include a human form, a celestial form too bright for humans to process, a dark form dubbed "scary star beast mode" (or SSBM for short) by @andyxvx (thank you for that wonderful term allie) and a humanoid form with wings which is used by stars when they want to present as regal or majestic to others without burning out one's retinas..

human forms are fully customizable at the star's discretion. some stars choose to present any way they like, while others tend to follow the physical form of something a lover or love interest might prefer.

the SSBMs are 100% random and irrational, but they tend to take the general color or shape of whatever is making a star angry, as well as something that could intimidate an enemy or attacker. stars can learn how to control this form (with time and dedication) to take the roles of warriors for their friends.

i LEGIT cannot remember if i posted this or not already my fucking memory is so bad but umm MEL DIAL TOWN FORM !  hes bsaically a shapeshifter that claims to have been around since primordial soup was the #1 cuisine (really old)
