Sonic Underground: Reprise:
Sonia, Manic, and Sonic are the adult children of Queens’ Aleena and Bernadette, the rightful rulers of Mobotropolis, the capital of Mobius. They are pursued relentlessly by Doctor Robotnik and his jewel-loving bounty hunter, Rouge the Bat. As infants, the siblings were separated and placed in hiding to fulfill a prophecy made by Silver; the Oracle of Delphi. The prophecy foretold that the triplets would grow up to find their estranged mother, Aleena, discover the secrets of the mystical and powerful Chaos Emerald, overthrow Robotnik to restore Mobotropolis to what it once was, and take their places once more as Mobius' rightful heirs.
Lucente AU:
Experience a fresh take on a story long-overdue for some justice! The Lucente Au is a reimagining of the Sonic 06, with a focus on giving its unique cast the time they need to shine! Elise, Silver, and Blaze get expanded into true protagonists and heroes, as well as expansions to characters like Rouge, Omega, Mephiles, and more!
The Au is split into 3 arcs:
Team Myth - An adventure as Elise, Amy, and Sonic travel Soleanna on a quest to unveil Elise's fathers killer.
Team Dark - A mystery where Shadow, Rouge, and Omega deal with the fallout of a mission gone wrong and recapture Mephiles.
Team Future - A phycological horror for Silver, Blaze, and Metal as they travel to the past to prevent the world from ending in 7 days.
The Lucente Project seeks to provide answers to mysteries left unexplained for twenty years!
A glimpse into the origins of Soleanna's worship of Solaris, the city's history with the Chaos Emeralds, and a look at just how thorough Mephiles has been with his plots. These, and more, will show you Soleanna like you've never seen before in!

jax died before she could come out, and she died before she could become a better person and make any kind of amends with the people she hurt. I don't think the story was written that way by accident
she's horribly repressed and comes from horrible circumstances including homelessness. she also pushed away every hand extended to her and every chance she could have taken to get better. there were a million better decisions she could have made and she did not make them, and she caused an incredible amount of harm along the way. and still the story wants us to believe her worthy of being understood and loved
to come out would be to embody herself, to view herself as a real person, to start to leave the haze of dissociation that allows her to think of herself and everyone else as cartoon archetypes in a false world where nothing matters
she's desperate to stay in this world that she sees as false, where she's a funny cartoon character and she can still brush off the pain she causes as silly cartoon antics
it's exactly this dissociation that allows her not to take her own pain or the pain of others seriously. it was what ultimately led to her death. a jax that cannot come out is also a jax that cannot make amends
something I love about a tragic story, where a character fails to complete the arc that might have satisfied us as the audience, is that it asks us what led to the tragedy
the despair it leaves us with, the satisfaction it denies us, leaves us to yearn for things to have turned out differently. it leaves us thinking about what could have been done, what decisions could have been made, what different circumstances could have prevented the tragedy? dissatisfaction drives us to act
I love, by the way, the matter-of-fact cut from her walking away to her already being gone. like many tragedies we experience in our lives, the news comes to us unceremoniously, undramatically, flatly. it arrives well after the moment where we could have been there. in one quiet moment the world shifts underneath our feet. at first it feels like nothing at all until the information percolates through us, manifesting first as a dull ache that feels inadequately small and insignificant
we don't get to ask "what could I have done if I were there," we can only ask "what could I have done before it got this bad?"
i think a lot of people heard about chekov's gun and thought it only applied to like. actual guns. and that it wasn't meant to be extended to literally every element a writer puts in a story
chekov's gun is supposed to be about how no superfluous elements should exist in a work at all. there shouldn't be anything there that doesn't serve a purpose. on its face, it's a directive aimed at writers. but the inverse of that, for us the audience, is that if something is in a story, we can generally assume that it wasn't put there on accident. we can assume that it serves a purpose. even if it seems random and pointless at first, we have to assign it meaning, because otherwise it wouldn't be there. that random piece of characterization? the author must have considered it vital, or it wouldn't be there. the way the camera lingered on a specific thing? you can be sure it's important. the way characters dress, their backgrounds, their habits, it all says something about who they are and how the author intends you to see them. it's the basis of media analysis: why does this element exist? what's its purpose? why was it put there? people always say i'm great at media analysis, but this is really all i do. you recognize the elements, and figure out what purpose they serve.
white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.
serenely reblogging this once more after deleting responses from white people saying "talking about this is actually unhelpful because im oppressed too" yeah i know. i wrote that down in the post i made, and i also wrote down why remembering the difference is important. did you read it?
there is no malice in my reminder. no "you need to do better", just a reminder. do not read it as such. i didn't write it as such.
again. i did not say you were not oppressed. this post is literally about how you are oppressed. it is a reminder that you are not the most oppressed person in the world, a way i've seen a lot of white transfems acting lately. maybe not even necessarily in a detrimental way, but in a way that definitely leans towards the "white is default" lane of thinking, which erases black suffering, which erases progress towards black safety. this, to me, is troubling, which is why i made this post. it's important when building solidarity within our community to understand who the most vulnerable of us are, because the safety of the most vulnerable of us will ultimately be the safety of all of us.
please do not be offended when you are reminded that your skin is white. im not calling you evil. im asking you to remain aware of yourself.
Thing is that I’m not the only Black trans woman writing theory on transfeminism, Black transfeminism, or trans intersectionality - I’m just lightskinned and won’t shut up so I’m one of the most visible ones, and crackers STILL get mad at me for saying the most basic-ass concepts like “white people are still white even if they’re otherwise marginalized”
In many cases, intracommunity racial intersectionality fails because given the choice between solidarity with nonwhite trans people and white people (trans or cis), white trans people will almost always side with other whites in the hopes of preserving a degraded position within white supremacy, because they internally see being “lesser” within whites supremacy but still above nonwhites as preferable to solidarity with nonwhites that loses them that positionality.
I wanna toss this link on here because it’s directly related to the whole “lack of intracommunity solidarity when race is involved” thing and has a specific example from my local community.

Hey, folks! I'm Paige, and I'm in the process of writing the second arc of More Than A Victim, a fic about Maria using the events of Sonic x Shadow Generations to prevent her death!
Here, Maria is the protagonist, with a story seen through her eyes! A big focus is showing off complexities we never see in canon for her—strong positive and negative feelings, hobbies, unseen relationships, expansions and complexities added to her known ones, and a look at how it feels to know how others see you after your death.
Now, I could say more—but that's kind of against the point, isn't it? Why listen to me when you can hear it from the horse's mouth? Sadly, I don't have the drawing ability to let her make a visual appearance—thankfully, I have other ways! Gerald's not the only one who can write a journal, you know? Find her letter under the break!
(Content warning for references to Maria's death! Maria icons from Sonic Rumble!)
"Dear Sonic AU Collision Voters,
Hey everybody! I'm Maria Robotnik! You probably know about me from my death scene in Sonic Adventure 2. Or my death scene in Shadow's 2005 game. Or my death scene in Sonic X. Or Shadow Generations, the one game where I actually get to live outside of flashbacks! That one's my favorite—but I wasn't exactly a major character there, was I? I think it's time to change we had a change of pace, don't you?
I'm writing to all of you from White Space and the ARK, where my friends and I are in the middle of making chapters 6, 7, and 8 of More Than A Victim! I'm so proud to be a part of Sonic AU Collision, alongside so many other interesting stories—drawn, written, and otherwise!
(Amy's reading this over my shoulder and she giggled when I mentioned the chapter numbers. I don't get it, and Wave keeps glaring at her every time she tries explaining. I guess it's some kind of future joke? Just another thing I'll have to learn when I make it out of here!)
More Than A Victim is far from the kind of story I think most people would expect me to be in. I mean, do I look like someone who'd be in an action story? But that's the point! This story is a chance to let me do things I never get to do in canon! I might not be as good as Amy or Shadow when it comes to fighting, but I like to think I can make up for it in my own ways. Just see how I blew myself up in the last arc! (Don't worry, I was alright. But the Guardian wasn't!)
Right now, chapters 1 through 5—including the Babylon Garden arc—are already on AO3. The next three chapters—the Battle Arc—are in development now. I'm excited for this one. It deals with some pretty complicated feelings on my part. I don't want to say too much in this propaganda post, but I will say this: I'm making a new friend in the next chapter. I wonder who it could be~?
I'm so happy that we get to make this story and share it with all of you. I had a lot of fun getting some spotlight in Shadow Generations, so I'm glad we're able to continue that journey here! I hope you'll all tune in to the next chapter's release! I can't give any details on when that will be, but I'm hoping it will be soon!
I hope you'll join me and my friends in Central City!
Most surprising thing the TADC finale did was solidify my change from finding Jax annoying (almost entirely due to how prevalent he was as a fan favorite everywhere) to finding Jax a very interesting and fun character. Choosing not to interact with most of the fanbase helped a lot.
Ragatha's still my favorite, though. But I can appreciate Jax a lot more now.
(The finale was also so good. Loved every second of it.)
