The sentient rocks' opinions of their Guardians:
Sol Emeralds: This is Blaze! She is descended from many of our previous Guardians, and has a firm grasp on duty. We love her.
Chaos Emeralds: This is Sonic! We found him on the side of a road eating a chili dog and yelling at this egg creature. We love him.
Master Emerald: This is Knuckles, who honestly deserves better than the life his ancestors gave him. I consider him my son in many ways. I love him.
Time Stones: This is Silver. We saw him throw a car at a god once. We love him.

Hermitphibia AU.
Tango has the passive ability to choose to teleport to Skizz whenever he senses Skizz doing something sort of stupid unintentionally.
The origin of this ability's irrelevant, though speculation ranges from some sort of blood pact to Impulse having arranged a spell when Skizz joined the Hermits to make sure his best friend had someone watching his back.
No matter the truth, both Skizz & Tango have always been jokingly coy about the specifics with other Hermits.
What's clear, though, is that over time as Skizz learnt more & more of the unspoken "rules", that little itch in the back of Tango's mind spiked less & less often, til Skizz needing to be mildly sassed became a rarity, & Tango would instead just trek over to his base more often than not to sass him anyway.
One of the first things Tango does on arriving in Amphibia - isolated from every other Hermit - is reach for that connection, & he finds nothing, even as he sits and waits for a spike. Naturally, if Skizz is as lost & confused as he is right now, there's bound to be an itch sooner or later. And even once he snaps back afterward, he'll know where Skizz is so they can regroup.
But no matter how long he waits, the itch - that mental tug - never comes.
Not during all the time he spends on his own.
Not after he reunites with other Hermits in Newtopia.
Not even when he helps Zed summon Impulse and the pair suggest things he's already tried to bridge the link.
And then Tango notes that many other Hermits' esoteric abilities are either weakened or outright suppressed by some unknown force, & it clicks for him why he can't reach Skizz.
So, reluctantly, Tango mentally shelves the itch & the present members of ZITS resolve to find their missing man another way.
Fast forward a while, & there's srill no luck. Unlike other Hermits, there's been no evidence of where Skizz is.
Understandably, everyone's feeling a little hopeless on that front.
And then, for the first time, Tango happens to be present when Anne's then still largely unstudied calamity powers flare for a moment.
To the outside, it appears as if Tango's eyes widen in shock for a second before the guy just blinks out of existence entirely.
Inside his mind, Tango feels several months of undelivered misteps & panics bombard his thoughts all at once, finally allowed through a tiny gap in the Guardian's lockout. Without hesitating, he reaches for his friend...
Several moments later, Anne's flare up passes & Tango reappears, his face suddenly set with determination.
"I know where Skizz is."

I really wish there were more Emperor interactions in the late game of Act 3.
I wish he would comment on more situations, just a little reminder that he is still there listening.
Yes, there are certain situations that trigger him, but I feel there are not enough.
Maybe I feel like this because in my first playthrough, I fought the House of Grief, Cazador and the Iron Throne back to back and these fights took me forever and I was STARVING for a Cutscene or a little dialogue with him. Every long rest I hoped that he was visiting me or that he would comment on my actions.
But I get it, he only comments on the (in his eyes) important parts.
Baldurs Gate 3 has so many great romances, but my favorites are The Emperor, who is mostly all about business and Halsin, which romance you can only start in Act 3.
Why can't he leave the prism as a projection and be part of my party?? He doesn't even have to fight! The githyanki warriors are gone, just give your girlfriend some company, man! We could chat, I could annoy you, you could tell me what to do and I would kindly deny your request, I COULD HUG YOU, and we could smooch if you like.
He could even take is dream visitor form if the world would be freaked out about the mind flayer in my party, whatever.
I just want to spend time with him, please, Larian! It is not fair to let us romance him and then not allowing us to interact with him the same way like with all the other romance companions!
Until then, I just have to keep dropping the Nether Stone over and over again if I want to hear my boys lovely voice, I guess.

Stone lions for sticker club! Based off the lion statues I used to see in front of my old school.
Erroneously called "foo dogs" in English, stone lions usually come in pairs guarding the entrance of a building. The female lion protects the interior, and the male lion protects the exterior. Traditionally, both the lions are depicted with luscious manes. I chose to make my lady lion sleeker, along with her baby.
I'll be shipping these out on January 1st. Sub to sticker club if ya want this pair of designs in the mail 😸
