literally one of my favourite things about the sonic series is that all of the characters are overflowing with personality and immediately noticeable deeply warped worldviews. like a character with truly baseline “common sense” does not exist. not a single character that can play the straight man in every situation. and i love that! cause it makes for such memorable and recognizable characters in personality alone, and then you heap on masterful and iconic character design on top of that!!

#and i think the murder did such a great job of showcasing this #especially blaze and rouge (and tails and espio to a lesser extent) who sometimes get relegated to being the one with common sense #ignoring the fact that they’re fundamentally WEIRD and that’s what makes them GREAT #so love that they played up rouge’s kleptomanic tendencies like yessssss pickpocket and shoplifter and treasure hunter and overall thief!!! #they’re all just so untethered to reality which allows you yo believe in the truly fantastical #I LOVE YOU SONIC THE FRANCHISE #rambles #murderposting #in the tags i guess

Vector: *pulls on the door handle*

Vector: “Guys! The doors locked!”

Knuckles: *fighting Badniks with Mighty* “I know!”

Mighty: “Then unlock it!”

Espio: “Where’s the key?”

Charmy: *comes flying in* “The key’s gone!!”

Knuckles: “NEVERMIND THE DAMN KEY, JUST UNLOCK THE DOOR!”

Vector: “I CANT. UNLOCK. THE DOOR. WITHOUT. THE KEY!!!”

Curious to know the difference between Espilver & Silvaze for you (personally I definitely entirely disagree that Espilver is Silvaze but gay 😭)

I must say I've never heard of that statement before myself, though my gut feeling is also that they are not just "the exact same ship with a different person", so to say. It is mostly because Espio and Blaze have quite some differences in personality that affect their interactions with Silver, but I feel like the fact Silver's personality has notable differences between his '06 and Rivals 2 appearances also has an influence on it. And as I wrote this post, I also noted some things about Blaze's personality in '06.

So let's unpack all that, haha! I can understand why at first glance, it's easy to see Blaze and Espio as characters who are mostly just "the same". For example, they're both portrayed as the straight men of the bunch: for Blaze clearly seen in Rush Adventure, where she starts out rather irritable, dismissive, and unamused of Marine, and for Espio with his focused and strength-obsessed attitude compared to Vector and Charmy's goofing around and bickering. Both of them are driven and heavily disciplined, are notably stoic amidst the more zany other members of the cast, work swiftly towards goals, seem more introverted and alright with doing things solitarily, have the occasional moment of wit and snark, can certainly get flustered, and possess a strong desire for justice, among other traits.

But there's also differences between them. Blaze's withdrawal from others came from the pressure she put on herself and 'always having been alone' because of her pyrokinesis, whereas Espio's solitary attitude seems more like an informed attribute to me. Wherever he goes, the Chaotix usually are not far behind, and when he does go solo it's apparently either to go train and hone his skills or because Vector sent him out for a mission. Espio thus doesn't at all seem to have any of the self-loathing Blaze used to have in her pressuring herself: I would say that for him it seems more like a self-imposed desire to become more powerful, which he seems to tackle masterfully and with a level attitude. Blaze also has much more of a temper on her, which makes her easily riled up; Espio meanwhile has a burning desire to snuff out evil, but keeps a calm head throughout. None of these are really traits that affect Silver, but I find it noteworthy to point them out.

But.... to be quite honest, what makes this ask rather difficult for me is that Blaze in '06 doesn't have much to do, which I believe is a common fandom complaint. Silver is the only one to ever acknowledge her, and her role mostly just is to be a satellite around him who keeps him on-track and gives him encouragement and tips. There's very little of her Rush personality (hot-headed, awkward about making friends but getting better at it, not good at accepting help which carries on a bit still in Rush Adventure, etc.) that shows in '06, in my opinion. For example, a noteworthy trait of her in Rush is the fact that she was teased for her pyrokinesis and had high expectations of protecting the Sol Emeralds on top, which caused her to shut others out and put everything on her own shoulders. That is not an experience I would say can be skipped in Blaze's personality: it really heavily influences how she acted in Rush, and affects her to this day even after her growth. But afaik there's no mention in '06 at all of Silver positively impacting her with his apparent acceptance of her and her powers: the trait is merely informed at best, not shown. Basically all development is centered around Silver instead, where Blaze is there to help but does not develop in turn, if that makes sense? And thus, she's more of a blank slate who's very supportive of Silver and who clearly loves and appreciates him as her companion, but whose personality as we'd seen it one year prior is not really there for me. And that makes it difficult for me to objectively compare the differences between the two ships, to be quite honest.

I will readily concede that Espilver and Silvaze could have many things in common: I would say both Espio and Blaze serve as Silver's support in their respective games, where they keep him on track and help him keep up his hopeful attitude. They seem to be well-synced with him, and Silver clearly respects them both. But the main difference for me is that Silver generally is the one making the plans and handing out the orders in Rivals 2, that Espio also follows. Espio only steps in when Silver cannot do so anymore, such as when his powers are almost depleted in the canyon. Silver does not need him for any emotional support or to get advice: he already knows with certainty what he is doing. Meanwhile, though '06!Silver also feels like 'the leader' between him and Blaze for me, he seems much more dependent on Blaze for said emotional support and guidance. He turns to her when he gets stuck about the morality of hurting one person to help many, and she calms him down when he expresses frustration about being unable to defeat Iblis for good, for example. I'd say it is in such things that those little details lie for me: '06!Silver has a lot more focus on morality and world-saving, whereas Rivals!Silver's quality that stands out most is kiiiiiind of being a jerk at most times. He's got his sweet moments, also with Espio, but his temper is very noteworthy in that game; much more than it was in '06, in my opinion.

And to add to that, I feel like the '06 personalities are not carried over so much in later games. In Colours DS, Silver and Blaze start one-upping each other for a bit about how they each could have defeated Orbot and Cubot solo, which I would say fits better with Blaze's withdrawn and occasionally-awkward-and-overly-serious demeanour as seen in Rush. Silver's self-confidence and competitive attitude meanwhile is present in most of his portrayals, and thus also here... but gone are the questions about morals or him needing emotional guidance, which makes a strong part of his personality in '06 for me. Also in one Sonic Channel story, Blaze and Silver get off on the wrong foot at first, and it takes some time for them to see the value in the other being there as their actions sync. I'd say such a story and development fits the two of them better with their non-'06 personalities: Blaze is self-reliant and doesn't accept help easily still, whereas Silver has more of a temper against her at first. It's quite different from '06, where they apparently already are the best of companions and Blaze's role kind of is to give Silver support. But the main source of Silvaze content simply is that game, and there Blaze's personality is rather lacking to me compared to what we learned of her before, and Silver's personality carries more focus on his softer, younger, naive sides. Meanwhile, in the Rivals 2 games Espio offers him his help in the game proper and you can see how they affect each other afterwards, but Silver does not need Espio for emotional guidance or to answer questions about how far you can acceptably go to save a world. For me, that makes both ships just a bit different!

#yeah I found this a really difficult ask haha #a fun one but difficult! There's not a lot of content on especially Espilver to really look in the games and see their interactions #and '06 of course has Blaze with a much more subdued role in the background that didn't really explore her imo #so yeah: I can understand why people would see the two ships as the same (I presume it's because both are 'guides' towards Silver?) #but for me it's not really the case haha #silver the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #blaze the cat #espilver #silvaze #long post

...actually, y'know what, boop the ♥ if you want a small coffee shop au starter.

literally everything is the same except shadow works at a coffee shop when he has down time. maybe the dude wants to eventually get a house, maybe he likes the coffee discounts idk. tmosth just makes me want it. i don't think shadow is the type to jump to food service but i don't think it's wholly out of the realm of possibility if he can find a cafe to work at that's pretty chill.

#still can't believe he's a locksmith in tmosth and not a barkeep. the second i saw him i got excited thinking he would be lol #i love too how everyone just commits SO hard to the bit. espio especially. #out of chaos [ooc];

[neurotypical-sonic]

espio was wrong for what he said to sonic during the metal virus arc, but I do like how they did it because YEAH he would say and think that. of course he would react like that. I really liked how realistic and PAINFUL it all was, the reactions and coping mechanisms etc etc. I just hope they address it. words in my head let me try to say this right. if they dont address it then it would feel like espio (and shadow) saying that was just for the reader to question sonic's morals and decisions? instead of it also actually being apart of espios (and shadows) character? I cant remember rn if other characters also straight up blamed sonic but definitely those two.

#espio especially makes sense to me but im side eyeing shadow. He Wouldnt Fucking Do That #<- i still need to finish sa2 and other games that shadows in tho so I have a more solid grasp on him #still dont think he wouldve said that tho #but YEAH. please address it #also not saying that sonic is entirely in the right. pre emptive dont yell at me for this #egg.txt

[wingsofthesun]

Shadow and Espio should hang out more often. I feel like they're both characters that everyone thinks are overly serious but in reality they're both giant dorks so they could just vibe together.

#seriously look at the entirety of mosth for them especially espio #shadow the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #sonic the hedgehog

[sonknuxadow]

feeling the need to be a hater about sonic shipping again but i cant think of anything to say about any specific target . so i just wanted to say that no pairing among the existing sonic cast should be canon ever except for maybe whispangle depending on how they would handle it . peace and love

#i say existing cast because if characters are introduced as a couple from the start i dont care they can stay #as long as the stories focused on them arent all about romance #i jsut dont think characters like sonic shadow knuckles tails amy vector rouge silver blaze espio etc should have canon romantic partners #this is partially because i dislike a large portion of sonic ships. and i especially hate a lot of the default popular ones. #but also because i just dont think there should be romance focused stories in sonic. feels weird and unnatural

[gayemeralds]

funniest labeling of the chaotix dynamics is coworkers actually. they all genuinely believe they’re just coworkers for the detective agency. including charmy.

Issue 44 inspired rant

Reading IDW Sonic after hearing about all the discourse about Sonic not killing his enemies is interesting cause it made it seem that Sonic made those decisions alone while ignoring everyone else and that he's annoyingly preachy about it but all of them so far are collective decisions he discusses with his friends.

Like in the above mentioned issue the decision to send the Deadly Six back to Lost Hex was one everyone agreed on, and it was the correct choice. It's the villains fault for not heeding the heroes' mercy and turning a new leaf, they aren't amorphous forces of nature, they're people with the agency to make bad choices.

Plus Sonic clearly struggles with his decisions and the unforeseen consequences of his mercy. I really liked the bit where he almost infects Eggman with the metal virus out of spite because it showed how fallible he can be with his code.

#this post was inspired by how espio and shadow blamed sonic for the metal virus cause he let eggman live as mr tinker #but both of them also made that decision #not ragging on either of them #they were lashing out #especially espio who had just lost vector and charmy to the virus #idw sonic #idw sonic spoilers #my ramblings

[siennaditbot]

Got an idea and just had to draw it today. I started around 11pm and it's now 2am. At least I somewhat finished it without really rushing it.

Anyway, wanted to draw Slushie and @hansuoddie 's OCs Yuki and Zuri fangirling over their partners, and the fun idea was to show the guys' side. The skunk bros would just chill and maybe talk a bit about their girls but Espio would feel a bit awkward, especially with the two being bad guys (see the kunai ready behind him lol)

#slushie the arctic fox #yuki the arctic fox #zuri the arctic fox #the chill trio #espio the chameleon #rough the skunk #tumble the skunk #rough and tumble #yuki and zuri were a lot of fun to draw! #also the skunk bros were difficult #especially tumble #sonic oc x canon #sonic oc #was planning on adding jewel and bark as well but six characters is plenty #just imagine jewel covering her face and bark smiling shyly :3 #looking back i did rush this #gotta draw something better looking when i get the chance #SDB art #sluspio

[glazedyeastring]

Okay but what if...Espio had insomnia.

#glazed crumbs #espio the chameleon #it has no backing evidence #but i get the feeling espio has trouble sleeping #especially since the fandom's pretty much agreed on him being a light sleeper #sonic headcanons
