It’s been a while since I posted a sketch dump… literally six months…

💙💛‼️LOCK IN BECAUSE SONAZE WEEK STARTS TOMORROW‼️💜🩷

Rather you're an artist or writer, an animator or a tictok editor, digital or tradition, or even singers, voice actors or 3d artists, it's ALL welcome!!

Sonic Archie wasn't afraid to make it's own ideas and concepts, it tried to make Sonic lore bigger and crazier than the games were. It got bolder with it's storytelling and art direction.

Sonic IDW is more in-line with the actual video games, it's much easier to get into and it can even be considered canon. It's something you'd actually expect a Sonic story to be.

And I think fans of one who are avoiding the other are really, truly missing out on something great.

I wish I was joking, but I really do find this funny to think about.

On a more serious note, bro genuinely doesn't see reality as real, but a scripted event he either needs to break and rewrite, or kill the director of it all.

I know in my own au Shadow Milk does have a small power nerf (no ultimate dough + one soul jam fragment) HOWEVER I inadvertently made him that one au writer who just bashes on characters they hate from Canon XD (namely his past self and Pure Vanilla Cookie) (this was completely unintentional on my part but it's hilarious regardless)

Looking at the au from that lense is really funny. Totally understand it's not Canon in the slightest and has more room to work with in writing the narrative but whenever I do write ultimate Smilk (or at least half of that power because it's technically split in two via Eternal Sugar) I keep asking myself "would he do this in Canon?" and if the answer is anything regarding yes due to pettiness, personal grudges, implications, etc etc it's becoming a thing.

Like with the seven stages id say

Shock- Mystic Flour because shock makes you apathetic it dissociates you.

Denial- Shadow milk.

Anger- Burning Spice

Bargaining- Eternal Sugar

Guilt- Silent salt

The problem is the other two, but i sorta see Elder Faerie as Depression in that case, and White Lily as Acceptance

Or five stages of grief, consider

Denial- still Shadow milk

Anger- still burning spice

Bargaining- still Eternal Sugar

But since theres no shock with the Five stages of grief vs the Seven. Mystic is depression which also equals apathy, depression is another massive source of disassociation, and apathy.

The only problem is im not quite sure that Salt fits Acceptance. And I think the Elder Faerie is very important to the conclusion too, because he was there.

The faerie kingdom is massly isolated and the mercury, both things that could be related to depression. When youre depressed you isolate, when your depressed you do things that seem unreasonable as a comfort harming people around you. Thoughts?

Oooh,interesting takes I like it!

Personally,I think salt is kinda poetic salt is acceptance since acceptance means moving on from the past,but the beasts cant move on.They can never escape the past,and forever stuck it.Salt is no different,he will never let go of his resentment towards the other beasts.(even if lily helped him see there is hope,he still hasnt fully let go the ghosts of the past)
