Try to find more than one sonic character that I DONT like, I’ll find the good in any character… except one…. But I can’t say who publicly bc I’ll get death threats lmao

About Glam: The prodigal son of Mighty the Armadillo and Manic the Hedgehog, he was born with one brain cell that hardly finds itself being used. What he lacks in wit, he makes up for in both heart and personality, both of which are larger than life. 

Here's a tiny sentence on my Sona, in case someone's curious:

They're an mad scientist otter, with a suspiciously old western choice of words

I ain't got much on them, since they're suppose to be based off the artist (Who is me huzzah)

And other than that, I made them shorter than the rest, even if Mango is the youngest, probably since I suffer from the skill issue of being stuck at 5'3.

That Monday evening, as victors celebrated their wins and losers began to pack to return home, Glam had found himself back in the room he'd woken up in the last two weeks. The curtains were drawn, dousing whatever bit of light remained in the day while he stayed curled up in bed.

Light illuminated tired eyes as he watched moving faces, a life lived without him in attendance over the past week.

"-I mean, Youta is absolutely pissed right now!" His friend Crimson chirped, full of life and warmth. "Man, I wish you were there to see it-"

Scroll.

"-I mean, second round?" It was his younger sister next, sitting on her bed. Bored as always, she held the phone above her head as she spoke. "Don't you wanna come home? You get a few days between rounds, dude-"

Scroll.

'I bet you're meeting a lot of interesting kids.' Charcoal signed, clear and concise per usual. Behind him, Crimson and Youta arguing over...something. But it was the first thing to lift Crimson's expression just slightly so. 'You'll have to tell us all about it once you're back-'

Scroll.

"I dunno if I should be freaked out or flattered by all these kids I didn't know I had outside of our universe." It was Sonic next, lounging in the shade somewhere tropical. His camera's lens was slightly blurry — be it a crack or scuff that caused it, Glam didn't know. "But you're still the coolest one there, kiddo. I'll actually be around this week-!"

Scroll.

"Congrats on round two, bud!" Ray's blue eyes shone bright with admiration. "When I'm around this weekend, I'll be sure to-"

Scroll.

"Don't worry!" It was his dad's next, showing off their barbecue setup, friends and familiar faces continuing life while he sat there alone. Watching. Out of reach. "I know you're having a blast without us, but-"

Scroll.

A soft, but sharp inhale.

"We miss you, bean sprout!" Manic responded cheerfully, a plastic bow slapped on his forehead by either Mighty, or either sibling. "You know you don't have to buy for both Father's Day and my birthday, but these patches are sick! Absolute vintage gold, bud!"

He did nothing to suppress his soft sob.

"You look like you're having so much fun," Mighty interjected, pulling Manic against his side. "You're meeting so many new people, and there's a lot of new folks that see how special you are. We're so proud of you!

"I know being away from home for the first time like this has probably been scary, but you're handling it like a champ!" Mighty could not see his son curl up, hugging the phone to his chest in an attempt to feel like he was with them again. "The cucumbers should be ripe soon, but if you're not home in time, I'll be sure to save some!"

There was little he truly feared, at least when it came to a physical threat. But the fear of missing out on his life, watching the world pass by without him, never failed to make his chest ache.

(Concept art, a meme, sketch n concept art for aged up Sonic and Blaze)

I honestly Headcanon that the Sol empire operates differently than a classic Royalty setting, in which they give the main power and responsibility to the one who's from ze bloodline, regardless if it's a King, Queen or liege.

As well as sonic getting sports bandaids due to overdoing things physically, it's only a concept design and I'd change a lot about it.

As usual I made sure the names fit, especially with meanings, so there are Solar n Steam

Some funky lil memory:

Blaze and Sonic had an entire debate on what they wanted to name their second child (Steam), with Blaze wanting to name them Steam, and Sonic wanting to name them Flow. You can tell who doubled down due to finding their wife scary.

Jokes aside, that's his middle name. Basically Steam Flow T. Cat, which is funny to imagine getting said out loud, when he's in trouble. Flow is only used by his family members.

Solar didn't have a big name change, but for being the older one that inherited Sonic's speed, they definitely have the most responsibility and travel to the original dimension.

They do take Steam with em most of the time, which makes them a duo.

(Putting this here in case y'all didn't see the last post)

I guess it's time for the facts:

Solar:

• They're 18 years old.

• Unlike both of their parents, they're really socially awkward. Whenever there's a social event, they just don't know who to talk to, how to talk to, and simply isn't confident enough to start talking out loud first.

• They have traits from both of their parents, however personality-wise they have their own lean.

• Despite travelling to the original dimension with their sibling, they hold a more significant role then he does. Mostly due to their experience being there alone, and simply because they take a similiar role to Sonic like when he was younger.

• They're completely healthy physically, and don't have any allergies.

• They actually used to wear glasses, but now switched over to lenses as soon as they took the chance to.↓

• Which means yes, if the lenses aren't they're anymore, they get really vulnerable because they can barely see anything.

• Their favourite biomes are whatever would keep them warm. They'd pick things such as Mesa, Desert's and beaches, with Tropics being too much for them to handle.↓

• That is because they're afraid of bugs, that specifically fly at them. As well as Snakes, because they get freaked out by their movement. They aren't a big fan of exotic animals.

• Their favourite plants are daisies. No particular reason for it, other than finding them aesthetically pleasing. They also like Mints and lilies because of how they smell and look, it gives them a strange safe feeling.

• They actually came to terms using the Sol emeralds, and had their try with the Chaos emeralds as well.

• Despite them not being an rather emotional person, they get nervous quite easily.

• They're a realist.

• Even with their Social awkwardness, they're Ambiverted. They genuinely enjoy being around others.

• They tend to be really careful in the original dimension, but they keep seeing themselves getting stirred into trouble one way or another. (Mostly due to their friends.) ↓

• And even so, they rarely ever get mad or even majorly frustrated. They easily forgive their friends, and try to help them even before knowing they're in the wrong. Which might have put them in quite the cyclone before.

• They're afraid of irreversible consequences. They hate the idea of them messing up something so badly, that its beyond repair. Which shows clear during extreme situations.↓

• Theyre also afraid of death. They can't really say why, or pin point it at the fear of unknown, but they certainly don't wanna think about what would happen after it. They get freaked out by the transition of life and death, especially if it happened during an active friends-save.

• They always try to do the right thing, even if it would upset others.

• They were that one kid back then that kept breaking some bone in their body, with the story being absolutely absurd.

• And they also gave up on having pets, since they always lacked the time to care for another living being.

• They use their words first. Physical violence only when necessary.

• As stated before, they inherited Sonic's speed. They have no Pyro kinesis.

• Their favourite flavor would've been mild and more judged by texture, but they really love salty as well.

• They're a fan of accessories.

• They were assigned XX at birth, with them having surgery recently.

• Their favourite Shade is Ruby red, but they also really like the gradient between Light bright green, classic light blue and lavender.

• They'd be a fan of sea slugs if they were to find out about them. Which speaking of which, Snails being their favorite animals. They find their lil eyes silly.

• They get along with both of their parents equally.

• Their room is clean, and left relatively minimal other than it having interesting bright colour combinations.

Steam:

• He's 15 years old.

• Personality wise he's more similiar to Sonic, but having a way sharper edge to it vibe-wise. I had him be a tiny bit inclined to Scourge, just for funsies. He's still his own person however despite it.

• He has destruction impulses, similiar to Aspen. However his are more Setting-Things-On-Fire based.

• He doesn't really have a favourite biome. You cant really count the sky as one, but he digs windy environments. The smell of a large body of water with heavy wind is directly his jam.

• He isn't interested in plants, but likes cactuses because of their pricky nature, and because of how deranged the shapes of them can get. But he also likes Ivy's.

• He was that kid many feared back in the day, for being violent and having a scary lookin stare.

• Even with how he is, he's still morally strong and doesn't go beyond the line.

• He was suppose to stay at the Sol dimension as a sort of protector, due to him willing to be one. But he magneted towards the adventures Solar goes on, and couldn't help himself. ↓

• Despite that, he gets really worried over language barriers.

• He's flexible and prefers to improvise things, and works with things that were simply thrown at him.

• He has a fear of rejection and exclusion. Its mostly instinctual, with a side of memories here and there. It'd basically being denied and gotten rid of by your own people, especially if you're close to them.

• He hates miscommunication and always makes his opinions and motives clear, no matter if his directness and honesty comes across as rude.

• His room is as messy as it could get, but not to a comical degree. He simply doesn't take the time to clean it, since he has other things in mind. ↓

• Although as a contrast to Solar, he owns a lot of black decorations, with an occasional splash of colour. Most of the posters he owns are from horror movies, since he enjoys them.

• He's a certified horror fan.

• He's definetly the type to use physical violence first, and then ask questions later.

• Needless to say, he's still a very physical person. Despite using words perhaps even before acting, he still manages to let his actions speak for themselves.

• He enjoys any flavour that is offered without being picky, although sour is quite his favorite.

• He's the worst thing a intruder could face.

• I personally see him as interested in any type of person, but keep him unlabeled.

• His favourite shade is Burgundy, but he likes Monochrome and any shade of red as well.

• As a kid, he would definitely be frequently mistaken as a schoolyard bully, despite him becoming rather chill the older he got.

• He's closer to Sonic than Blaze, since he feels like he can handle his nature better, which is mutual. No hard feelings towards his mother.
