Could I request Sonic x Reader where they were childhood friends and now are dating several years down the line? 👉👈
Best friend boyfriend
Sonic the hedgehog x Childhood friend!reader
《|| AN: Heya!! Terribly sorry for the long wait, I've been cooking up quite a few little treats that I think that all of you will enjoy!! That being said the following headcanons are based on my own, personal thoughts on sonic as a whole. I hope you enjoy!!! ||》
FLUFF (Pre-crush)
◇| As many of us know, Sonic the hedgehog is the coolest guy around.
◇| Whether he’s rolling around at the speed of sound (Haha), or fighting off Dr.Eggman, he’ll be having a blast and a half doing it.
◇| I’d think that sonic met you while on one of his many adventures, probably around the same time he first met Knuckles or Amy. Maybe he saved you from a badnik attack? Or maybe you popped up to try and stop the mad doctor yourself?
◇| However the two of you met, He’s ecstatic to have another buddy to horse around with! (He wouldn’t admit it though, (mostly because he can’t) but also because he has an emotionally unavailable bad boy image to maintain!)
◇| Be prepared for him to drag you along on all of his adventures, because once the two of you are friends, he’s going to mess around and have fun with you whether you like it or not!!
(Post Crush)
◇♡| Sonic is, and will likely continue to be, incredibly emotionally evasive. This boy can, will and has run from his feelings like they were coming to drag him to the very bottom of the ocean.
♡◇| Seriously, he runs from his demons like nobody’s business. And you and I are VERY well aware of how fast sonic can run.
◇♡| When he DOES eventually begin to consider the thought that MAYBE he likes you more than a friend should, Sonic gets…well, not nervous exactly, but definitely a bit WEARY around you. Probably tries to play it “cool” (or cool-er, I guess) around you, but usually ends up making a complete fool of himself
♡◇| (It’s fine though, you usually just laugh it off or play it down to spare his pride. He REALLY appreciates it.)
◇♡| He likely only begins to acknowledge his feelings after he meets Elise during the (very confusing) events of Sonic ‘06. (And also because Tails keeps teasing him about his (BIG, FAT, VERY OBVIOUS) little crush)
◇♡| Genuinely has no clue what he’s supposed to do with this information. He’ll probably just…sit on the fact that he likes you like that for a while. (And then go to Amy or Rouge for help, because what else is he supposed to do?)
♡| You are going to have to make the first move. Full stop.
♡| Sonic may be impulsive and quick on the uptake, but he’s got NEGATIVE ZERO relationship experience. He is out of his depth already with this crush, he’s not about to confess to someone he’s known for practically half his life at this point.
(Post dating)
♡| MASSIVE FLIRT, he will tease and fluster you FOR AGES. he WILL NOT get tired of it, EVER.
♡| (However, If you flirt back, he’ll turn into a flushed red mess… he can dish it out, but he sure can’t take it!)
♡| REALLY likes holding your hand, he finds it soothing to know that you’re never too far away from him while out and about. Sonic probably also plays with your fingers a lot as well.
♡| ADVENTURE DATES,ADVENTURE DATES,ADVENTURE DATES
♡| I feel like Sonic would probably do stupid shit in front of you to show off.
♡| He has done ENTIRE CHOREOGRAPHED ACROBATIC ROUTINES while fighting eggman’s mechs when you were around as a way to showboat. (Nobody knows where he learned to do this, but it worked way too well for anybody to complain.(Eggman was so confused that he just…stopped functioning for a hot minute. He genuinely did not know what to do))
♡| Will do stupid little victory dances on Badniks for no reason other than to see you smile.
♡| Loves, loves, LOVES when you are goofy with him. It’s just so endearing to him!
♡| Please, for the love of all that is holy, play with his quills when y’all are cuddling!! He may say he hates it because it messes up his ‘do, but he actually loves it! (he does get a bit freaked out when you don’t do it though. He thinks that he did something to upset you if you don’t mess with his quills and will frantically try to “win” your love back or something)

The sun had long since dipped below the horizon, the full moon taking its place in the new night sky as stars twinkled like a blanket of diamonds overhead. The campfire crackles and pops, its flames enough to both cook dinner to fill their bellies before they call it a night and to keep them warm in the slightly chilly air. The calm of the night is accompanied by crickets singing their song in the distance, hiding somewhere among the greens of the forest.
Sonic takes in a deep breath, the scent of the forest's damp moss and decaying leaves bring a sense of tranquillity to him that no city can. He looks into the pot he has skillfully placed over the campfire in a makeshift holder and takes a wooden spoon to stir the chilli cooking inside, its delectable aroma filling the air as it tickles his nostrils and makes his mouth water.
Little feet patter towards him. Sonic doesn't need to look back to know who it is.
A small hand reaches out and gently touches his shoulder.
“Hm?” Is the only acknowledgement Sonic gives to the little fox cub standing behind him, his eyes still on the pot to make sure he gets the chilli perfectly cooked.
“Sonic…?” Tails calls, there's a strange hint of nervousness in his voice that, Sonic thinks, doesn't really go with the peaceful nature of the night. 
Sensing something wrong, the hedgehog looks over his shoulder. Green meets blue but blue doesn't return the gesture. 
Tails is picking the fur on the tip of his namesakes again. He does this a lot, Sonic has learnt. He's no expert himself but the four year old before him has some habits that he thinks no four year olds are supposed to have. Sonic isn't going to dive deep into that yet, some other day maybe but for now he just softly taps the kit's forehead with his knuckles to bring him back to reality.
Tails looks at him. There are tears forming in the corner of his eyes.
He looks scared.
Sonic immediately gets off the log he's been sitting on, the wooden spoon abandoned in the grass as his quills bristle. He grabs Tails by his upper arm and looks over him, wondering if he's hurt.
Tails is quick to shake his head and tell him he's fine. Sonic looks at him dumbfoundedly, his eyes alone asking, “What is it then?”
Tails kicks a stray pebble, scuffs his shoe on the ground.
Sonic has to tap his forehead again to get an answer out of him.
“It's just that… Um, I was wondering, when you…”
Sonic isn't known for his patience, Tails knows that. So before Sonic taps his forehead again, Tails words his worries.
“When will you throw me out?”
The words don't hit him as much as the sincerely behind them does.
Sonic doesn't know what form of shock appears on his face but whatever it is, it makes Tails fumble over his words as he anxiously flaps his hands and tries to explain what he just said, “I-I mean, it's been three months now and you— you've been very nice a-and, I'm— I'm, I've been eating your food and using your supplies a-and no one has kept me for long without—”
Sonic doesn't like the way fat tears roll down his muzzle, he doesn't like the way Tails cuts himself off mid sentence as if he's scared to say more, he doesn't like the way Tails thinks he needs to be abandoned for some reason. Sonic likes Tails; the little guy is smart and keeps up with him without asking him to slow down. Despite not having had a home and being bullied by other kids, he's still more well-mannered than Sonic is. Not to mention, Sonic likes Tails just for the sake of it. No one wants this kit. Sonic does. 
So naturally, Sonic gently wipes away Tails’ tears. He points towards his own chest and then pokes Tails’ with his index finger before signing, “Together.”
Me and you; together.
Then Sonic holds his index finger up with his gloves palm back and draws a few large circles to sign with a promise, “Always.”
They will always be together and Sonic will never leave the little cub before him alone.
Tails will never have to feel alone again. Not when Sonic is here
_____
Sonic is tired.
It's been a long day.
He heaves a sigh when he takes a step closer to Tails’ Mystic Ruins workshop. The lights are on, he's glad to know Tails is here. He found him purely by chance today, he didn't have to run into multiple labs scattered around the world to find him which is good because he's already late. The night has fallen. The moon isn't visible under all the clouds, Sonic can't see a single star.
He thought he'd visit his own.
He ignores the way his hand shakes when he reaches out for the doorknob. It's rather cold tonight. It won't be long before it starts snowing. 
Tails likes playing in the snow.
Maybe they'll make a snowman.
He opens the door and steps inside. His vision gets a little awry for a second as the interior of the live-in workshop spins but that's okay, Sonic closes his eyes and gives himself a minute. It's okay. He's okay. 
He just wants to see Tails.
He steps inside, a little dizzy. He looks around the place in search of familiar golden fur. He doesn't find it right away so he walks in further. Briefly, he wonders if Tails is working late again and if he will have to drag him to his bed and tuck him in again. 
He's not against the idea.
It might be a bit selfish, but for time's sake, he'd like that.
Tails has grown up on him so fast.
He remembers when the little four year old first asked to be tucked in. He was so shy, so unsure, so terrified of asking to be loved.
Sonic loves Tails.
That's his little brother. He raised Tails. He took him in when no one else would — and quite frankly, whoever refused to give the kit a home missed out because Tails is amazing. He's everything and more. His little star, his sunshine. He loves him more than anything in this world.
He frowns.
Sonic doesn't remember the last time he told Tails that.
He doesn't remember the last, “I love you.”
He knows he doesn't say it often. He never felt like it was something that needed to be worded. Not saying it didn't mean Sonic didn't feel it. That's just been the way they go about their lives. There are many unworded things between them, not any less stronger than the ones that have been voiced.
Yet, Sonic feels a strange pang of guilt.
What if Tails doesn't know?
His little brother's self-esteem is always lingering in the negatives. What if he thinks Sonic doesn't love him because Sonic says it like once every two years during his most vulnerable moments? Sonic doesn't like that, Sonic doesn't want Tails to feel unloved because that's just simply not true.
He should've said it more often.
“Sonic?”
The hedgehog smiles at the voice. Tails has found him.
Emerald eyes slowly shift towards him. The fox is wearing a knitted baby blue cardigan, standing on the staircase. His eyes are on Sonic's left hand that rests just above the hedgehog's hip, stained red.
It's really cold, huh?
“H-Hey, bud…” He greets weakly, his smile ever-present.
Tails looks horrified, he gasps, “Sonic.”
Sonic doesn't reply. Not right away. Not when his voice fails him. He didn't come here to worry his little brother, no. He just came here to see him.
He reaches out his free hand towards Tails, takes a step forward but he ends up unable to maintain his balance. 
He sways.
Tails catches him before he falls.
“Sonic!”
The fox bands his arms around the teen’s torso to support him, his breath hitches as he struggles to grasp what he's seeing. A million questions running through his head. How did this happen? Who was Sonic fighting? Why didn't he call him? Why didn't Tails go with him? Why didn't Tails know? Why didn't the hedgehog's communicator record his vitals and ping Tails? Where is Sonic's communicator? What's he doing here? How much blood has he lost? What should Tails do—
Tails feels Sonic's hand cradle the back of his head, the hedgehog removes his bloody hand from his wound to loop it around Tails’ back and pull him in a hug, staining the cardigan before he rests his face on top of Tails’ head, nuzzling in his soft fur.
Tails is so much warmer.
“S-Sonic,” Tails feels the panic slowly bubbling up in his chest, “Sonic, what happened—”
“Shh…” Sonic hushes, “Don't worry about me.”
“Shut up.” Tails lets out a humourless chuckle, “If you don't want me to worry then don't walk in bleeding out like that.”
“Sorry, lil bro.” Sonic mumbles. Then quieter, “Couldn't really control it this time.”
“Sit down, let me check the wou—”
“No…” Sonic slurs. Tails feels his blood run cold when the hedgehog tightens his grip on him, and doesn't let him go, “No. Just… Just let me…”
He didn't come here to be treated. He didn't come all the way here to worry Tails. He knows coming here light-headed from blood loss is going to worry Tails whether or not he wanted to, if he didn't want to worry his little brother then he shouldn't have come.
But he can't help it.
He doesn't want to leave without seeing him one last time.
“Sonic?” Tails calls but the hedgehog remains quiet, still in his hold. So Tails calls again, “Sonic?” 
And he doesn't know why his voice sounds smaller, why he sounds scared. Is he terrified? What of? They get hurt all the time. It comes with their line of work. Sonic has been hurt before, so has Tails and they both recovered. Now isn't any different, is it?
It shouldn't be.
Sonic promised.
Always; he said always. He promised. They're supposed to be together forever. 
Sonic is supposed to be fine, then why is he scared?
The hand on the back of his head slowly slides down, the weight of Sonic's body increases on him.
They tumble to the floor but Sonic wraps his arms around him tightly as soon as they do, not wanting to let go any time soon.
Sonic pulls Tails closer. The kit's chest undoubtedly tainted red by now. Sonic's still glad, at least it's his own blood in the fox and not Tails’. He buries Tails’ face in his chest, he gently pets him and lays a soft kiss on the top of his head. Tails wraps his namesakes around him in return, hugging Sonic like his life depends on it. The younger doesn't like the implications of it all as Sonic starts brushing his fingers through the fur on Tails’ back but Sonic doesn't seem to care.
He's content.
But with only one regret.
“Tails…?”
“Yes, Sonic?”
Sonic wants to say he loves him, more than he can ever imagine. Sonic wants to make up for every time he didn't say it, he wants Tails to know.
His words fail him and he ends up with, “I'm sorry… I promised to go on that trip to Chun-nan with you. I don't think I can anymore.”
“That's okay… We'll go when you're better, won't we? It can wait.”
Sonic just hugs him tighter, “I-I don't think I can, bud.”
His voice cracks and Tails tries to escape his hold to most likely give him a very painful dumbfounded look. 
Tries, because Sonic doesn't let him.
“Why?” Tails asks. The teen feels his tears on his chest, “Why?”
Sonic smiles even though Tails can't see it.
“Hey, now… Don't be sad, okay?”
“No.” Tails shakes his head, “No, stop talking like that you… You promised. You promised.”
He knows that. He has promised Tails so many things. He's afraid he could only fulfil a few.
At least there's one thing he can do before going.
He doesn't say it often so naturally, it takes him longer to find the words, “You know I love you, right?”
“Sonic, please—”
“It's okay. It's gonna be okay.” He hushes him, scratches the back of his ear to calm him down. 
They sit like that for a while. It can't be more than a few minutes but its feels like year pass until Sonic's starts feeling more and more sluggish, until he can't get his fingers to move enough to pet Tails, to brush his soft fur. His hold on his little brother gradually gets weaker. 
With the last of his strength, Sonic separate himself from Tails.
The kit looks up at him, ocean eyes filled with tears.
Sonic looks into those eyes for a minute before pressing his forehead onto Tails’.
And at last, he says,
“I love you.”
(Tails doesn't move, he doesn't know how long he holds onto his brother till Amy visits — and when she does, he finds himself unable to cry anymore.)

A though on skills (Sonic and the others)
One thing I don't like about Sonic is that all character seems to have about the same skills and downfalls, and this make them less unique. Maybe an approach in the right direction was made in Sonic adventure 2, but that was all.
Considering that I only like few characters from Sonic (In short a little more than all those appeared in Sonic Prime, who luckily were all characters I already like), I only will talk about them and not even all of them.
Sonic and Shadow
(the twins.... not literally, but they truly have twins vibe)
Tumblr media
I think they should keep their iconic skills. High speed, spindash etc. With a slight difference though. Surely the spindash and all related rolling into a ball thing should be identical, no difference.
In particular circumstance and for short amount of time thy both can reach the speed of light.
About speed, I like to think Shadow is sligtly slower than Sonic without his shoes. Anyway those two are the fastest and the difference between them and all the rest should be noticeable.
Physical strenght and stamina favour Sonic. Shadow is tied to his inibitor rings. Without them he is way stronger than Sonic but his stamina decreases fast. Also Shadow can't hold the super transformation as long as Sonic.
Shadow, unlike Sonic, can swim, but I don't see him having a particular tecnique.
He also can perform chaos control better and easily and has full control of the chaos power. Sonic can do chaos control, but it looks diffcult when he does that.
Being left handed can also be one of his advantages. Most people are right handed so unless you aren't a trained warrior (see Knuckles), Shadow attacks may be more unpredictable.
Tails
Tumblr media
I really like his flight abilities thanks to his two tails mutation (do you know that the two tails mutation is real?)
Although annoying in game, I appreciate the fact Tails can't fly forever. Foxed aren't supposed to fly after all. But he can fly long enough to make his level easier to finish. He also can swim but he lacks tecnique.
I like that in SA2 he uses mechanics. But I like more if he uses custom made weapons.
I don't like Tails being as fast as Sonic or using the spin dash. Foxes don't have a mantle and quills. They're like dogs who have a convergent evolution toward cats, so they tend to have typical cat skills rather than dogs skills. I like when he attacks his enemies with his two tails, that look strong.
Knuckles
Tumblr media
I don't see Knuckles as particularly fast, but he is strong and a skilled warrior enough to nullyfy Shadow's left handed advantages and to force him to fight without inibitor rings. He can also free climb easily. I remember in Sonic OVA he just fly just like Goku or Superman, but I don't like that as I'm not fond on his gliding ability. He also can swim, and unlike Shadow and Tails he has a tecnique. Like overall a warrior but pretty much well trained in overall all sports. Of course he should not be able to roll up. But he has quills, he should be able to use them in some creative way.
Amy Rose
Tumblr media
I like her skills actually. The Piko Piko Hammer is a nice touch. Plus she can summon it like magical girls can sum their sceptre, as seen in Sonic X. One thing she should do more is rolling up and the spin dash. She should not be able to do all the attack Sonic and Shadow can do, but she is still a hedgehog so she should be able to roll up.
She can swim, too. Not as good as Knuckles but better than Tails and Shadow.
The tarot card doesn't count. This is a think she likes to do for fun, but I don't see it as a part of her fighting skills.
Rouge
Tumblr media
One thing is obvious, Rouge arms and legs look really thick, like Knuckles', and this does means she is muscular, so she is a good fighter. Plus she is a natural flyer, being a bat. This does means she is supposed to be able to fly as long as you want, unlike Tails and this gives her the ability to go everywhere, without limits. Plus she can swim as well as Knuckles.
Eggman
Tumblr media
I think, since he is a human, our specie, it was somewhat easy to enhance the typical human skill, intelligence, but at the same time is harder to run with creativity in other skills. Suspension of belief is harder when we are familiar with something. All Eggman skills come from brain indeeed and his mechanics is very creative and dangerous. Eggman is able to swim (apparently only Sonic can't swim), but mostly he floats. He possess quite a good strenght and athletic abilities considering how out of shape he is.

Various "Failures" From My Google Docs
Good morning! I'm at my usual coffee shop and got inspired by the troubles of a few friends to embarrass myself.
Sit down with me. I'm enjoying my usual blended chai. There's room on the couch if you'd like to join me.
So I've written thirteen novels. I think thirteen, I've actually lost count. Let's say, like, five full-length plays and twelve to fourteen finished novels. Impressive, right? Maybe. I'm realizing that I consider that not much of a brag, if only because I know the amount of trips and stumbles it took to get to one completed project.
I've ditched a lot of ideas. A lot. If I need to I can dig into my old hard drives to find all the doc files from my youth, but I also have the same Google Docs I've had since middle school.
It's mostly plays and ghostwriting assignments, but if you did you'll find some snippets from my constant attempts at growth.
Tumblr media
Some stuff like this is okay. The line "hair slicked back/suit black silk" is pretty good, but a little too the writer thinks they're clever for me now. I don't really remember where I planned to go with this. I think the narrator was somehow going to be given the identity of Roy Fontaine. I was really fixated on the surname Fontaine at the time. I don't know why.
But then there's also a lot of stuff like this:
Tumblr media
Hey look it's Fontaine again! I guess he's a doctor, too! Also I am astounded by how casually the main character just pulls out the Necronomicon. He pulls it out? From where? His pocket? Is it a zine?
I don't know why, but something about how suddenly this jumps in terms of dropping specifics makes me think that Sonic the Hedgehog is about to show up. I can't explain it.
Tumblr media
This is the only thing in a Doc titled "Psychosis". I have zero memory of what I was planning on doing with this. What's kind of crazy though is that I wrote this in 2014, and six years later I'll use essentially this exact bit in a finished novel without even realizing it.
Tumblr media
Another bit from 2014. No clue what I planned to do with this. It's hilarious to me that something stopped me from finishing the sentence. What am I, Franz Kafka writing The Tower? I didn't die. I wasn't raptured. I just apparently tried to think of something a large oak door would do and immediately gave up. It was 2014 I had finished, like, four novels. And this idea was fully stalled by what had to be a fucking huge oak door.
Tumblr media
My favorite part of this radio play I tried to write is that somehow, believe it or not - when I wrote this I did not fully understand the Quantum Suicide thought experiment. And for along time I still kind of thought that this could be salvaged into a good idea, until last night when I asked my wife to put on a video describing the experiment and I immediately found it so dumb. Just ridiculously stupid. The only good thing about Quantum Mickey is that the title kicks ass and I'm definitely keeping it for something.
I've written a lot. A lot. I've earned the severity of carpal tunnel I currently have. If I had to put it into a statistic, I'd say maybe seventy percent ends up finished. fifty percent ends up polished to be read or published. Thirty percent actually ends up being read or published. I'm okay with this, because I enjoy the work. But for me, part of enjoying the work is not panicking when a project doing work.
If I need to end a project in the middle of a sentence, I do. I've clearly proven that I do. Sometimes I write for thirty pages and lose interest, other times I get a paragraph in and get distracted forever. That's okay.
That's okay. As long as you're doing something.
I could've included segments of Carnation, my first novella that was supposed to be a novel but I never finished it. But I fucking guess that's getting it's own post when I hit 150 followers so I hope you're prepared for what the type of stuff I enjoyed in middle school.
There's an Irish child that speaks exclusively in slang. You aren't ready.

As the generations have progressed, have mentors for District 2 gotten more affectionate and emotionally close with their Victors? Older mentors like Adessa, Odin, and Ronan don't seem to have that physical closeness with their own Victors though I suppose with Ronan we have no metric
oh they most definitely have, and the older ones joke about it behind their backs (not unkindly, per se, but it's a meme).
even Brutus was pretty hands-off with Emory and didn't know if he was allowed to hug her but with Petra he is full-on holding her in his lap when she has a breakdown. ask him if he cares. go on, ask him. triple dog dare you. of course it's Petra which means she's sticking a knife in his arm while he hugs her but that's D2 for you.
I think Lyme broke the pattern to be honest, she didn't plan to be but Misha has no personal boundaries and sprawls on everyone, mentor included, like a cat that's challenging you to push her off. which of course Lyme wasn't going to do, so. and then Claudius was a giant ball of neediness and that sealed the deal for her, she's the cuddly mentor forever. which to those who knew her as the prickly hedgehog victor baby who'd bite your fingers off, they all find it REALLY funny
for emotional closeness i think that was probably Nero with Lyme, he had one shot to get her to trust him and so he told her what he did. and then for her that was normal! and then obviously her recovery was horrible and messy and ugly and he was there, so for her kids she did the same thing, and so they are a huge messy ball of feelings that the earlier ones are like hoooooly cow that's why we have therapists but too late now! they're all codependent and talking about their emotions with each other and committing treason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

STH Rarepair Week Day 4: Seasons
You can check it out on ao3 here if you prefer.
Summary: Sonic and Silver decide to spend the day with Tails after Shadow is called on a mission rather early in the day. When they get home though they decide to surprise their third partner. With fresh snow on the ground what could be better than a snowball fight?
Pairing: Sonic/Shadow/Silver
Warnings: None to be had
Word Count: ~2700 words
AN: Ah yes... the only ship I've actually written prior to this week before lol. On that note this thing takes place post this fic, but it's not necessary to read it before this. Only sort of important thing to know I suppose is that Sonic is turning into the werehog at night here.
Sonic pressed himself further into the warmth at his side. As he did he felt an arm wrap around him. Now this was a great way to wake up. Honestly he didn’t really wanna get up yet. As far as he knew there wasn’t anything he needed to do today, unless Eggman decided to randomly cause trouble, so he was more than happy to just enjoy the warmth of his partners and the almost too much bedding they had. As he shuffled into a slightly more comfortable position he heard Silver yawn softly. Sonic smiled to himself at the frankly adorable noise. "Morning." Silver sleepily called.
Sonic hummed in acknowledgement. "Mornin." Sleepily he reached out to his other side and frowned when he was only met with sheets. "Where's Shads?" Sonic finally cracked his eyes open and glanced at Silver.
"Left for work. Rouge contacted him pretty early about a mission, you were passed out and he didn't want to wake you up." Silver explained with a yawn.
"Ah." Sonic responded, mildly disappointed as he buried his face into Silver's chest fur.
There was a peaceful silence between the two for a bit, the only sound the duo's even breathing and the shifting of bedding. "We should probably get up." Silver said eventually, although he seemed reluctant. Clearly the white hedgehog was enjoying the warmth just as much as Sonic was. Maybe even more because of the cold weather.
"Yeah probably." Sonic grumbled into the other hedgehog's chest before pulling himself away with a dramatic sigh. Silver chuckled as the two extracted themselves from the covers. Once the two were up Sonic slung an arm around Silver's shoulders and started to gently run a hand through the white hedgehog's quills. He happily leaned into the touch.
The morning was pretty standard even with the absence of their third. The one major difference was breakfast. Admittedly the duo weren't the best chefs; they mostly left any cooking up to Shadow for a reason. They could manage simple things though; Shadow had been pretty adamant the two could do at least that. They ended up just making some eggs, but at least nothing went wrong.
“Sooo any plans for the day Silvs?” Sonic glanced up from his food.
The other hedgehog hummed as he put down his fork. “Not really. What about you?”
“Well I was thinking of visiting Tails. He’d probably be happy to see you if you wanted to come with.” Sonic smiled. 
Silver returned the smile. “I’d be happy to come. When were you planning on going?”
“Mmmm probably after a quick run, that way I can make sure he’s actually had breakfast and not been working all morning.” He chuckled fondly. “I know he tells me he’s taking breaks and eating enough but I know my little bro. He sometimes needs a little pestering to take care of himself.”
“Sounds good.” Silver nodded. “I’ll deal with the dishes while you run.”
Sonic gave him a quick salute. “Be back in a flash.” With that he was gone. It felt good to feel the wind whip through his quills, even if it reminded him that Winter was here in full force. Things had been good, no great since the trip he, Shadow, and Silver had around the world. It had taken him a while to settle, but he got there eventually. Heck he’d even fully accepted the werehog thing coming back, even if it still would be nice to know why. Once the three had returned from their trip Shadow and Silver had forced him to come clean to the others. It hadn’t been nearly as bad as he’d thought it would be. Sure they’d been upset since he didn’t tell them sooner, but in the end they’d just been happy he was ok.
By the time he got back Silver was properly bundled up against the cold and waiting for him outside. “Hope I didn’t keep you waiting.” Sonic grinned.
“Nope, just came outside.” Silver adjusted his scarf. 
“Good, let’s make the trip over there quick though.” Sonic picked up Silver before the other hedgehog could say anything and took off toward Tails’. It only took a couple minutes to arrive at the door where Sonic put Silver down. “Your stop.” He walked up to the door to knock. After a moment of hearing nothing on the other side Sonic figured it was time to evoke his big brother privileges. “One sec.” Sonic held up a hand. Silver gave him a look that was something between confused and amused. “Alright Tails I’m coming in and you can’t stop me!” He shouted before dashing into the house and heading straight for Tails’ workshop.
Tails yipped in surprise as Sonic scooped him up and brought him to the front where Silver was waiting. “Little brother secured!” Sonic grinned, keeping Tails slung over his shoulder. “We can head inside now.”
“Was that really necessary?” Silver looked amused.
“If you had a sibling you’d understand Silvs.” Sonic used his free hand to pat Silver’s shoulder.
“You can put me down now Sonic.” Tails sighed.
“Only if you promise to pause whatever you were working on, eat something, and hang out with us for a bit.” Sonic turned a smug look on the fox, even if he wouldn’t be able to see it.
“How did you know I hadn’t eaten yet?” Tails asked.
“You just told me.” Sonic chuckled. “But you can also call it my big bro intuition.”
“I don’t think that’s a real thing but… fine. I agree to your terms.” Tails sighed, and Sonic obliged by putting him down.
Grabbing Silver’s hand, Sonic led them back inside. Thankfully Tails dutifully went to the kitchen to grab something to eat without any further prodding. “Do you have to do that a lot?” Silver asked as he pulled away from Sonic to take his jacket and scarf off.
“More often than I’d like.” Sonic hummed. “But he’s done it for me plenty of times too, so I guess we’re even.” Once Tails returned from the kitchen Sonic made sure to kidnap him again, just to make sure he didn’t try to run off. There was a lot of exaggerated protesting and fake struggles, both of which apparently amused Silver. The look on his partner’s face had a warm feeling settling into his chest. It was nice.
The two of them ended up spending the whole day with Tails. They had intended to leave earlier  but they’d gotten an unfortunate message from Shadow informing them he wouldn’t be back until later. Apparently he’d been put on dreaded paperwork duty after his mission and was determined to get it all done now. That was fine though, it had been a good day spent with his brother and one of his partners, so Sonic couldn’t really complain.
Once sunset was rapidly approaching Sonic and Silver decided to head back. It wasn’t that he minded Tails seeing him in his werehog form; it was more that he didn’t wanna end up as a pillow for his brother. He did actually want to see Shadow at some point tonight. It was good timing too since pretty much the moment he and Silver walked outside he was transforming.
Sonic sighed in relief as the chill of the Winter night was chased away by his now much thicker fur. Without a word he picked up Silver and pulled him close. Reflexively the other hedgehog moved closer. “Well even if I can’t get us back nearly as fast at least I can keep you warm. Heh.” Sonic chuckled.
Silver sighed contentedly. “There won’t be any complaints from me.” Sonic just laughed as he started to walk the two of them home. It was no secret that both his partners enjoyed the extra fluff of his werehog form, but there was no debate that Silver enjoyed it the most. The poor guy had a terrible tolerance for the cold, and Sonic could easily keep him warm at night. Plus there was something gratifying about being able to help with such a simple thing. 
About halfway through the walk home, it started to snow. Sonic watched in mild fascination as snowbanks began to form. It was nice, and it was peaceful. Even if the snow was cold, Sonic knew it fascinated Silver as well since he watched in amusement as Silver did his best to watch the falling snow from his position. Mostly because before deciding to stay in their time he hadn’t seen it much. “Shads didn’t take his bike did he?” Sonic asked, shaking his head when a snowflake landed on his nose.
“I’m… not sure.” Silver hummed. “With the snow I hope not.” Sonic shared that sentiment.
The two lapsed into comfortable silence until their house was in sight, because it was then that Sonic got an idea. “Hey Silver?” A mischievous smile crept onto Sonic’s muzzle. “I have a fun idea…”
Shadow sighed as he stopped in front of home at last. If the commander ever tried to push paperwork like that on him again he was going to be sharing some very choice words. If anything at all positive had come from the day it was him getting to spend most of it with Rouge, but he probably hadn’t been the most enjoyable person to be around the latter part of the day.
At least now it was all over. As he breathed out he noticed it was cold enough to see his breath. No doubt Silver and Sonic would be inside, Silver trying to bury himself in Sonic’s fun in order to keep warm. His confidence in this was why it was such a shock when a snowball impacted the back of his head. He was quick to whip around to see who dared to do that, but he was met with Sonic and Silver. Sonic was tossing a snowball in the air repeatedly, a confident smirk on his face. Meanwhile Silver held several snowballs aloft with his psychokinesis
“And just what do you two think you’re doing?” Shadow eyed the two of them wearily, only just now noticing the snow fort behind them.
Sonic chuckled, before showing off his sharp teeth in a wider smirk. “You’ve got functioning eyes Shads. You know what this is.” He narrowed his eyes and Shadow did his best to ignore the rapid beating of his heart. How Sonic looked was making him feel… well something. “I’d suggest you start running.”
That was the last warning he got before a barrage of snowballs were launched at him. Shadow dashed out of the way of most of them though a couple impacted him. He sent his partners a challenging look. “I see the only way you can hope to match me is by ganging up on me. Allow me to show you my power.” He formed some snowballs of his own and returned fire. Sonic and Silver scattered to avoid the icy projectiles.
There was some simple back and forth for a while, neither side gaining any ground. That was until Sonic and Silver dove behind the fort they’d made. “Silver! Initiate the plan!” Sonic shouted.
“Rodger!” Silver’s voice answered. Shadow tensed. What did they have planned now? That question was answered rather quickly when both hedgehogs reemerged from behind their fort. Sonic hefting a massive ball of snow over his head and Silver doing the same with his powers.
“Prepare to meet your end Shadow the hedgehog!” Sonic barred his teeth in another confident smirk. “Because…”
“It’s no use!” Silver completed for Sonic before the two launched the massive snowballs at Shadow. A shame he wasn’t going to let them actually land. A quick chaos control landed him behind his partners, with them none the wiser for the moment.
“Excellent work partner.” Sonic clapped Silver on the shoulder. “We have achieved our long sought after victory. Shadow has been defeated.” He was barely keeping a laugh out of his voice.
“Are you so sure about that?” Shadow smirked as the other hedgehog’s heads whipped around to look at him, twin looks of shock on their faces. “I’m afraid this ends here. Farewell.” He launched a single snowball at Silver.
Silver seemed too shocked to act, so Shadow was sure the snowball would hit its mark. Though it seemed Sonic was much quicker to get over his shock as he dramatically jumped in front of the snowball, taking the hit for Silver. He fell to the ground, scattering snow where he impacted. His mouth was open and he allowed his tongue to hang out. “Silver…” He called out weakly. “You must live on for me. Finish what we started…” His eyes slipped closed.
Slowly Silver’s eyes trailed over to Shadow. “You will pay dearly for this.” Shadow’s eyes widened as Silver lifted a, frankly unnecessary, amount of snow above his head. “You won’t escape my justice!”
Shadow accepted his fate a moment before the snow impacted and buried him. If he had to go out any way, at least it was to a show of overwhelming force like that. After a moment he poked his head out of the snow he’d been buried under. Sonic was up and laughing alongside Silver by the time he’d freed himself. “Are you two proud of yourselves?” Shadow rose a brow and crossed his arms.
“Very.” Sonic chuckled. It was a good sound. “Thought you could use something to help you destress after your day.”
“It was Sonic’s idea.” Silver laughed. “He just managed to rope me into it.” 
“You say that like I forced you Silvs.” Sonic laughed before pulling him close. “It’s not like you put up a fight!”
Shadow embraced the warm feeling in his chest as he watched the exchange. Even if he hadn’t been able to be with them today they still had done their best to cheer him up once he got back. It was… nice. “We should head inside now.” He smiled at them, they both smiled back. “I’ll make us some hot drinks.”
“Oh!” Sonic’s tail wagged. “Sounds great. Heh. Thanks Shads.”
“Thank you Shadow.” Silver reached for his hand. Although it was awkward to grab Silver’s hand at the moment Shadow did so. “Of course.” The three started to walk towards the door. “Thank you both as well.”
“Anytime. You can thank good old nature for the idea though.” Sonic smiled up at the sky.
“It was fun, but I’m still excited for Winter to be over.” Silver sighed in relief as they entered their warm house.
“Eh fair enough.” Sonic shrugged. “Not looking forward to Summer nights with this extra fur though.”
“Perhaps you’ll shed to have a lighter coat.” Shadow suggested as he started to boil water.
“I mean maybe? Didn’t have to deal with this long enough last time to find out.” Sonic hummed. “Guess we’ll just have to wait for Summer to roll around and see.”
The three were quiet again until the water finished boiling and Shadow began to prepare their mugs. “Dibs on not having to clean that up if Sonic does end up shedding.” Silver said, humor tinting his voice as he took the mug of tea Shadow offered him.
“I believe it can be left as Sonic’s problem.” Shadow felt a small smile twitch onto his face.
“Yeesh no help from my own partners huh? Rough.” Sonic sighed dramatically before taking the mug of tea Shadow offered him.
“We’ll figure it out if it happens.” Shadow said evenly, before taking a sip of his own tea. “For now we should all get some rest. After we finish of course.”
“I don’t thi-” Sonic yawned mid sentence. Shadow gave him a smug look, and Sonic pointed at him. “Not a word.” 
The three finished their tea in comfortable silence. Then once their mugs were safely in the sink Sonic scooped up Shadow and Silver in order to carry them to bed. Neither fought it, since this had become their nighttime routine. Sonic collapsed into bed and held his partners down for a moment. Shadow pushed his arm off playfully so they could actually arrange themselves comfortably. It took a bit of shifting but eventually everyone was comfortable and presumably drifting off to sleep. Despite the day Shadow had, at least it had ended well. Burying himself further into Sonic’s fur he let himself drift off to sleep.

TWST MAFIA AU SORTA GALORE OF INFO
ehehehe I'm up to no good...
WARNING: in-depth depictions of crime, mentions of drugs, ring fights, animal trafficking, extortion, assassination, doxxing and other cybercrimes, gore, people trafficking, and other really bad stuff of the sort. PLEASE AVOID THIS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF HEAVY TOPICS IN GENERAL, THIS MAY GO WITH LOTS OF THOSE FROM ALL SORTS. note:I'll try to keep everypost about my mafia au with the text under the cut, so no one is triggered, as well as tagging properly. anything needed to be tagged that I don't cover please tell me. I am not afraid of delving into heavy topics of all sorts, and as such if the existence of this makes you uncomfortable, I will not be sad or mad to be blocked. Do what your health desires <3 Now onto the gruesome sights...
The Basics: As we may all know, Twisted Wonderland is a world full of sights to observe, culture to delve into, and all sorts of wonders. It is no different expected from a Wonderland. But if you delve closer, you may see that Twisted is much tamer than what really goes on in this world. The bane of the existence of a heavily capitalistic and globalized world is, of course, that as long as there is demand, there will be products to sell. Behind the curtains of pretty places and delightful music and cuisine, you may find yourself seeing some of the worst things happening to others. The heads, who control all of this monopoly over all sorts of twisted and gruesome acts, have their favorite heirs to this dangerous, yet extremely rewarding throne of crime. Those lucky ones are sent to the place that, on the outside, looks like the perfect magical academia, with only the most capable students and fierce-minded people, but soon you will find the reality when the doors close and the back ones open. Night Raven College is supposed to be a normal magical academy, that is on the paper, but when we were in need, we resorted to getting in debt with some of the most gut-wrenching people of all twisted Wonderland, and now we retribute by letting their... trainees, we will say, study and do their deeds there. They get the knowledge of the (metaphorical) underworld, and NRC gets enough funds for all we may need. Ain't I- I mean, the Headmage ever so generous?
The Dorms: Why, it is common knowledge that the different uniforms mean different dorms, but what does this entail, in this newfound context? Glad you asked! The Dorms selection used to not be biased but... that ended up on a whole new set of troubles... So now the dorm selection is, of course, by the Dark Mirror, but sometimes I- I mean, the Headmage finds there were "troubles" when dealing with the paperwork, and the student will be residing in another dorm for... a while, let's put it that way. That while can change, of course! but sometimes... it is not a good thing to change what is already good.
The Heartslabyul dorm, ever so strict about the rules! They make sure their exotic and wild animals are well-tended before they are sent to their new homes, with their brand-new owners. It is well known that Heartslabyul students have a heavy Animal Linguistics course, for the heads in the Queendom of Roses always need more animals. What if their delightful clients want a pink hedgehog instead of a blue one? The students need to deal with that, over the overlook of their dear housewarden Riddle Rosehearts. Just make sure to not anger him, as he has a tendency to Off people's heads. Sometimes he may even get... too literal.
The Savanaclaw dorm is persistent in keeping their pack. If you are one of them, you are not getting off the hook so easily. Always troublemakers though, love to pick a fight with the weaker. It is like the King of Beast's though himself: the weaker follow the stronger and smarter ones. Their rings tend to be open on the school basement or on the dorm training grounds at night, but don't be fooled, if you are seen there, you are under the One and Only, the rejected prince Leona Kingscholar's rules. If he says you fight, you do. We don't anger a lion, do we?
The Ocatvinelle dorm, so kind and benevolent to lend their works to other dorms. These students seem to always have contacts with the big people, and are always so kind to lend these contacts... for a price, of course. Don't take them for fools now, they will want a bit of this, and a bit of that. It is only fair right? An Eye for an Eye, a Leg for a Leg, how people say. Azul Ashengrotto makes sure everything is always prim and proper in case some dorm might need to stuck stuff in the confinements of this sub-aquatic dorm. But... he may ask for a price some are not willing to pay.
The Sacarbia dorm is always mindful of their allies as much as of their enemies. They are quiet in their work, as being loud would make them as disposable as their targets. When you look into it more, you will find that a student going missing is normal, and if they talked with housewarden Kalim Al-Asim, then you should be worried. How can someone who looks as innocent and sweet do what he does? No one knows and, frankly, do you even want to risk questioning it?
The Pomefiore dorm is tenacious with the quality of its products. The Fairest Queen didn't walk so that they would crawl, after all. They seem to be Professor Crewel's favorites when it comes to alchemy and potionology classes, and no wonder, as their potions, curses and drugs are some of the most deadly a person can take. Housewarden Vil Schoenheit makes it a point to everything be only the most perfect, and if not, he might curse it himself so it will do just as good. He has no pity when it comes to imperfections.
The Ignhyde dorm, Full of diligent people who know their place and do what they need to do. Of course they would do as they are told, but although they lack the strength of a Savanclaw student, and the charms of a Pomefiore one, they make it up in knowledge of technomancy. Just say who, and they have everything about them. Criminal record? Wiped. IP? Doxxed. Anything that is online, they can and will know. And if they don't, Just go to Idia Shroud, he seems to be happy to show just how smart he is by completely wiping evidence of someone's existence, or hacking databanks to feed to scams. They work great ways with Octavinelle on the "marketing" side.
The Diasomnia dorm and the nobility it helds from even being in it. Something not many can afford, really. While they seem quiet and mysterious, as most expect, the loud and nosy ones are the worst. Moles between the products, how they are called. They not only see themselves as above but will do all they can to prove their point, be that dismembering someone limb by limb, and seeing how long they go while still alive and conscious before releasing them of their suffering. Or maybe even holding the troublesome students in the Diasomnia basement, where they will meet their end one day, be to be the next heart to a great mage, or the slave to a rich countess. Malleus Draconia, if that even is his real name, is the one in charge in here, and what he lacks in social cues, he makes up in the strength to lead those under him. He reminds some of a king with an iron fist, who is not afraid to throw some peasants in the dungeons to make room for the nobles.
The Ramshackle dorm, once in disuse, is now up and running again with this strange human. They have no knowledge of magic, although their monster companion seems to get that just enough to pass, but... something about that human. It drives the others near, it makes them want to know what goes on in their little brain. Who knows if they will show themself capable of a role in this twisted world?

20 questions for Fic Writers
thank you to everyone who tagged me and I'm sorry it's taken me a month to do this.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
25 plus a few that I've posted anonymously. bonus points if anyone ever finds them.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
348,031
3. What fandoms do you write for?
just HP/marauders these days
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A Brief History of Dragons - people like this Remus I think.
Beneath a Big Blue Sky - my love letter to Yorkshire.
Statten Park - an old one but I do actually still like this, it's a lot of fun.
Sunshine on Leith - can we knock this out of the top five already please.
And a Hedgehog in a Pine Tree - I'm so surprised that this is here, it's such an inconsequential little thing. people like Christmas I suppose.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
oh god I try I really do, every email that comes through with a new comment makes my day but I'm terrible for leaving them all unanswered in my inbox. I'm sorry to everyone who has ever left a comment that I haven't responded to.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The Proctor House for sure. A Winter, Forever Ago is pretty bleak too.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
most of them! probably the most joyous is something like Beneath a Big Blue Sky because you've been on a decent journey to get there. that goose threatening everyone's happiness and all.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not really. one comment I do get sometimes is that the way I write Remus/Sirius is OOC and yes I agree, it absolutely is. Remus in Beneath a Big Blue Sky has nothing to do with e.g. Remus in Ullswater. those men have never even met in a bathroom. James in A Brief History of Dragons is an arsehole compared to living legend James in Beneath a Big Blue Sky. Sirius in Statten Park is a complete stranger to Sirius in Heartstones. none of them, really, have much to do with their canon counterparts. just bits here and there but I haven't read the HP books in well over a decade and I don't really remember what these characters are actually like beyond the surface-level stuff, so a lot of what I write is fairly OOC. it's all done knowingly and intentionally and I'm not going to change that.
9. Do you write smut. If so, what kind?
oh gosh a little bit a little bit. please understand that I'm a repressed Englishwoman and I'm trying my hardest. Seventeen Hours and Statten Park are both fairly smutty. I'd like to write more but I'm awkward af.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
no not really my thing but I do like to take other stories and plonk marauders characters into similar worlds - Ullswater was very much inspired by If We Were Villains.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no but people keep nabbing them to get them printed and then apparently sell them? so actually maybe yes. grow up.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
no because I'm a control freak and I don't allow my work to be replicated. sorry about it. I think people have done it for personal offline projects though and that's absolutely fine.
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
back in the day I used to co-write with my then-partner but it was just bits and pieces, not full fics. again, I'm a control freak so I'd struggle with this. I need to get my own way always.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
right so I should say Remus/Sirius but honestly... Remus/James just reaches places other pairings simply cannot. so it's a toss up.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
oh god how long have you got. I think one of the reasons I dislike Sunshine on Leith so much is because I put that stupid note at the end promising a third part in a few weeks. that was in 2020 and I've still not done it. help.
16. What are your writing strengths?
description, particularly when it comes to: natural landscapes, buildings, food, weather. I think I'm alright at witty dialogue too.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
actually writing anything down. also action, can't do action to save my life.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I don't think I've done it but I'd give it a go.
19. First Fandom you wrote for?
I think it was LOTR and yes it probably still exists somewhere on an old desktop computer at my dad's house and yes that thought keeps me up at night.
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
The Proctor House and Beneath a Big Blue Sky

Let's Read Peanuts (Yes, all of it) - February 1953
There are lots of great strips I just don't have room to comment on. I strongly encourage everybody to read the full month at the official GoComics page. Today's month starts HERE.
Feb 5, 1953
Tumblr media
Today: “Last night on the internet I read an AI-generated Sonic The Hedgehog erotic fanfic with ten million views”
Feb 6, 1953
Tumblr media
I know that those are supposed to be weird thought balloons but it looks like Snoopy just talks now.
Feb 11, 1953
Tumblr media
Bah, what's this nonsense? Schroeder never complained!
Tumblr media
Feb 14, 1953
Tumblr media
First Valentine comic? Maybe?? I really should have made a list of things to look out for when I started. -_-'
Feb 17, 1953
Tumblr media
OK, so apparently “Ivanhoe” was a novel written in 1819 by Walter Scott. It's been adapted several times in various formats including an early 1940's comic book and a 1952 live action film.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Film trailer here.
I'd link to the comic but ~for some reason~ nobody bothered to scan and upload a 80+ year old comic nobody's ever hear of onto the internet. Rude!
Feb 21, 1953
Tumblr media
Paperboy comics continue to be good.
Feb 27, 1953
Tumblr media
Time is a flat circle.
Thoughts:
Apparently the only way to read that Ivanhoe comic (that I've been able to find) is to buy a physical copy off of eBay somewhere and consume it the old-fashioned way. Which is kind of a shame, right? I mean, would it have been especially good or noteworthy? Probably not, but reading a few issues would have been a fun way to get a peek into Schulz's mind and get a feel for the comics he was influenced by.
This kind of thing actually bothers me quite a bit and it's a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately. Think about it like this. Ctrl+Alt+Del is not a particularly good webcomic, but think about how many loss.jpg references have been made in various forms of media over the last couple decades that would simply stop making sense if the original comic were to become inaccessible.
Tumblr media
All media is connected. Artists are constantly drawing inspiration from and commenting on works that came before and understanding these influences is a key part of decoding any given work. This is true not only for popular media that everybody agrees is good but also for the absolute garbage that may have been your favorite creator's guilty pleasure. It ALL matters, and it should ALL be available for anybody who's interested. Which is why it makes me irrationally angry when I'm reminded that access to older media can be such a huge crapshoot.
Anyways, I guess my call to action is to... upload more old comics? Sure let's go with that. Maybe support some of the groups archiving old stuff while you're at it. Art is cool, and we should be doing more to let people actually see it.

Hi! I hope this is okay but would you do what would happen if deku caught y/n and bakugou doing facials/skincare together? Sorry if this is weird
So this was a really fun scenario to write, thanks for the ask!
-Mod Kendo
Bakugou reached for the washcloth he had just placed under the hot water. Y/N repeated the same action, but recoilded when they touched the water. 
“Are you sure it’s supposed to be this hot?” they asked, shaking their lightly scalded fingers?
Bakugou picked up his washcloth without any reaction and brought it to his face, steam rising off it through the gaps between his fingers. “Of course it is. How else are you planning to open up your pores?” He then placed it over his face and took a few deep breaths, sounding almost relaxed. 
Y/N grabbed their towel, which they could now hold since it had been sitting out of the water a few moments. They raised it to their face and felt the steam as they breathed. They had to admit, Bakugou was right. The hot towel was incredibly relaxing. 
After a few moments of steaming, the two removed their hot towels, and  set them back on the counter. 
“Alright,” Bakugou said, reaching into his toiletry bag, “now its soap, another rinse, syrum, another hot towel, and lotion.” He set out various tubes and creams as he spoke. 
Y/N took out the shopping bag full of skin care products they had picked out earlier and set them on the counter in the same order as Bakugou had a moment ago, then looked over to their friend for the next steps. 
Bakugou was scrubbing his face agressively fast, bubbles from his lathered soap flying off in all directions. His hair was held out of his face by a towel, wrapped around his head and tied in the front. Y/N didn’t have time to react to the scene before they heard footsteps that abruptly stopped in the bathroom door.
A surprised voice echoed through the room. “Kacchan?” 
***
Izuku was winding down for the night, all that was left was to brush his teeth before bed. So he grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste and sleepily stumbled towards the bathroom. He heard water running but didn’t think much of it until he rounded the corner into the doorway and froze.
Globs of bubbly soap were flying around the room, flung by the angry scrubbing of the boy by the sink. Atop his head sat what looked like the unholy offspting of a blonde hedgehog and the easter bunny. 
“Kaccahn?” Izuku stammered.
Bakugou froze, every muscle clenched. He began to rotate his head like a machine in need of oil, slow, staggering, and dripping with rage. 
Izuku didn’t know how to react. On one hand, Bakugou’s face was a mask of pure rage, which spelled trouble for him. On the other hand, he could barely eep from laughing at the white bunny ears the towle formed on his head, and the white soap smeared across his face. 
“The h*ll are you looking at!?!?” Bakugou thundered.
“A-ah-… N-nothing!” Izuku stammered, stumbling backwards into the bathroom’s doorframe. 
“You think this is a d@mn joke?!?” He roared, closing in on the cowering Izuku. Froth from the soap flung off his face with each step. 
“N-no! Not at all!” Izuku wimpered, waving his hands wildly in front of him. “I- I’m just surprised is all.”
Bakugou halted his death march, looking puzzled. “Why the h*ll would you be so d@mn surprised? This is the f*cking bathroom. This is where people are supposesd to wash their gross @ss faces.”
Izuku glanced ar the towl in his hair, then to the various syrums on the counter next to the sink. “I- I know,” he began. “I just didn’t expect you to have such a…” he glanced around again, “an elaborate skin care routine.”
Bakugou huffed, grabbing Izuku by his collar and lifting him to his feet, but not letting go. Bakugou got so close to Izuku’s face that soap dripped onto his forhead. “Skincare is really f*cking important.” Bakugou growled, then tossed Izuku back to the floor. “Do you have any idea what would happen if one of my sweat glands got clogged?! It would be a disastre!” He was shouting full volume again. 
“I- I can see how that would be a problem.” Izuku replied. He wondered why he hadn’t thought of it before. With his quirk, Kacchan had to be sweating a lot more than most people, meaning he’d be more likely to break out. And a clogged pore or a problem with any of his sweat excretion would be a major problem for him in the field. It only made sense that he was incredibly dilligent about maintaining them. “I’m sorry.” He said.
“Yeah whatever.” Bakugou groaned, returning to the sink. “Just, get the H*ll out of here.”
Izuku stepped back around the corner, figuring he’d come brush his teeth later after the others left. But as he walked away, he heard the voices from inside. 
“What now?” Y/N said to Bakugou.
“I already told you; rinse, syrum, hot towel, lotion.” Bakugou snapped, as the sound of a sink turning on eminated from the room.
“Oh- I just thought- since he interupted you might want to-“ Y/N said, seemingly looking for the right words. “I thought you might want to call it a night.”
A loud smack echoed down the hall, probably Bakugou slamming his fists on the counter. “Are you deaf!?” He shouted. “I just told you. Skincare is f*cking important!”

Wow. Just... Wow. That is literally all I can say about this newest page, if I'm being completely honest. When I said I wanted angst and feels and even more angst, I was not expecting a full-on mental breakdown!
But I'm still absolutely amazed with what you've done so I'm giving you a million out of ten stars, you're welcome and thank you.
---
I am gonna go in DEPTH for this one, boiz! I even have a whole other tab open so I can read this page word for word! That's how you can tell how genuinely serious I am about this.
Okay, so to talk about this page, I actually have to go all the way back to the previous one, so I accidentally have a whole other tab open as well so woohoo!
What Shadow says in the last panel of the previous page is "That's making it worse, idiot!" And we can see the Gaia energy literally burning from his own body. Gaia energy, as I put it last time, may feed on your negative energy, but it uses that to "Control" you. idk if that's even true anymore or if it is true but only for a select few. but what we see here is certainly not that! The Gaia energy is literally just. Feeding off of Shadow's negative energy, aka the negative half of his life force. There's a reason why people always feel fatigued when the Dark Gaia energy within them has left, and it's because the energy is feeding off of their energy and thus draining their life force. Don't believe me? Think back to your middleschool science class. (I'm not trying to be sarcastic here. Sorry bout that!)
Thus, what's happening to Shadow is literally just the Gaia energy replacing his regular negative life force, at least until that original energy has been completely consumed. What Shadow's saying here... They're his own thoughts. His own feelings and emotions. Shadow is tired, man. And he just wants everything to be over and done with. And the immense negativity in the air isn't helping. So he's just accidentally let the door open for all that bad energy to sneak in and steal his own energy, which is why Shadow's seemingly smoldering when yelling at Sonic.
I mean, does this seem like something Dark Gaia would say? "That's making it worse, idiot!" is a response to "It's just easier to keep up the act than admit to having lied to my little brother."
No. It wouldn't. This is completely and wholeheartedly Shadow the Hedgehog speaking to Sonic. And the Blue Blur knows it.
Sonic's breakdown is a window into his own thoughts, obviously, but to me it's something much more than that. Sonic, in the eyes of the public, is a hero. Someone who is sacrificial and supportive to a default. Someone who will never crack even under the heaviest weights in the world. Someone who will always be there to fix the damage someone else has caused. Someone who will reign supreme. Someone who will do whatever it takes to save/fix the world from any evil.
In the eyes of Shadow, Sonic's just a kid looking for love. A kid who is looking for the same respect he gives to the world. A kid who's lost and hasn't yet been found. A kid who's just trying to do what's right.
A martyr.
"Can't really get much worse than this! I have to worry about Tails, G.U.N., getting rid of those monsters... Fixing the emeralds- Fixing the ENTIRE WORLD..."
Sonic feels alone. He has Shadow with him, but at this point, Shadow doesn't even feel like much of an ally and instead more like a... A bodyguard. Made to stand there by his side and make sure he doesn't go berserk. Shadow, to Sonic, must feel like such a fool for thinking about going with his blue counterpart. Because according to the Ultimate Lifeform, Sonic's not doing anything right. He isn't being a hero, like he's supposed to be. The long list of things Sonic has to worry about is full of things he has yet to complete, and piling Shadow's condescending mood on top of that just adds a whole other layer of stress and anxiety that will utterly destroy Sonic if he let alone leans the wrong way.
Sonic doesn't know who he is or what he's supposed to do right now. He's dealt with the occasional bad guy other than Eggman before, but he's never tangled with a LITERAL GOD, and that confusion on what to do combined with his current state as the Werehog... He just doesn't feel good in his own skin right now.
"You're just tagging along to taunt me, aren't you??"
Sonic doesn't feel like himself. When he's in his normal hedgehog form, it's much easier for him to pretend that everything is fine and that he is fine and he'll fix everything right away! As the Werehog though, it shows all the ugly, dark, grotesque bits of Sonic's mind and mental stability. Everything about the Werehog's design here represents everything that Sonic doesn't want to be:
Tired. Vulnerable. Slow. Out of control. Ugly. A monster. Unaproachable. Untrustworthy. Heartless. Exhausted. Not up for the task. Scared. Lonely.
A Monster.
"YOU NEVER CARED ANYWAYS. Shadow the Hedgehog never had a heart."
...
He's projecting.
Shadow may be weary and exhausted from the energy that Dark Gaia is draining, but this was his whole idea all along. He just wanted Sonic to talk.
Little did he know that it probably maybe sorta backfired...? idk the background of the last panel is confusing-
---
I hope that made sense and I hope the repetition I used wasn't too... Repetitive. Thanks for reading, and I genuinely enjoyed reading this! Finally getting a glimpse into Sonic's mind via dialogue?? YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!
very good analysis :3 cant wait to hear what u have to say to the next page
everyone else take notes here 📑

Queer Ladies of Sonic the Hedgehog
The Sonic franchise doesn’t have a whole lot of romance.  There’s the occasional ship tease, and that’s about it.  And there definitely isn’t a lot of queer content.  
However, there are some Sonic characters who have been confirmed to be LGBT+ in some way.  It’s usually just a behind-the-scenes comment from someone working on the series, rather than representation in the story itself - but hey, it’s better than nothing.  
I was interested in the women and girls in particular, so here’s all the (almost) canonically queer ladies associated with Sonic the Hedgehog.  
Look under the cut to see the full list!  
Sally Acorn is bisexual and Nicole the Holo-Lynx is in love with her.  
Tumblr media
Pre-reboot, Sally was Sonic’s girlfriend.  Post-reboot, however, the writers place a greater emphasis on her connection with Nicole.  This would suggest that Sally is bisexual.  
Nicole loves Sally back, so - depending on whether you see her pre-reboot interactions with Shard and Espio as friendly or romantic - you could read Nicole as lesbian or bi.  
At one point during the Spark of Life arc, Sally asks Big the Cat if he minds that Nicole isn’t organic like the rest of the Freedom Fighters.  Big’s response is, “As long as they’re nice, I don’t care what anyone is.”  This exchange could be read through a queer lens - in which case, Sally is checking to see if others are okay with her dating Nicole, and Big is suggesting that he’d accept them.  
Ian Flynn has stated that he supported the Sallicole pairing and left subtle hints to it throughout the Archie Comics series.  However, it wasn’t featured too strongly because he knew a large proportion of the Sonic fanbase would not accept Sally dating anyone other than Sonic.  
Gold the Tenrec is sapphic.  
Tumblr media
Evan Stanley stated on her Tumblr blog @spiritsonic​ that she was “leaning towards either bisexual or lesbian” for Gold’s orientation.  She added that Gold would crush on Blaze, Sally or Clove: “women who seem to have their s*** together”.  
Gold’s sapphic identity was never established in the comic before it was cancelled.  In the Silver Age arc, her only appearance, she was surrounded by boys and men - Silver the Hedgehog and Professor Von Schlemmer.  
Clove the Pronghorn is a lesbian.  
Tumblr media
Aleah Baker has stated that Clove was intended to be written as a lesbian.  Her conflict with Sally and Lupe had “a mix of admiration of their leadership with a bit of a crushing angle”; that was Baker’s mentality when writing.  
However, there was “zero romantic angle” to Clove’s story, her lesbian identity was never acknowledged, and the comic ended before she could be put in a situation where romantic stuff would become relevant.  
Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf are in love with each other.  
Tumblr media
The creative team at IDW Publishing is aware that people ship Tangle and Whisper, and has been leaning into it in subtle ways.  For example, Whisper’s tail wags rapidly when Tangle puts an arm around her.  
Flynn has explained that SEGA does not want the IDW comics to “go in-depth” with any romantic relationships - even Sonic and Amy are supposed to be “just very good friends”.  So in a similar vein, Tangle and Whisper have to be written as “really, really, really, really, really, really the bestest of friends.”  But hints are still being dropped.  
Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary got married and had a kid.  
Tumblr media
In Sonic the Comic, Amy and Tekno were two Freedom Fighters and good friends who were sought out by the Ring of Eternity, a sentient dimensional warp which sent them on missions to right wrongs and fight injustice through time and space.  
In an issue of the fan continuation Sonic the Comic Online which was co-written by Nigel Kitchen (someone who contributed to the original series), a glimpse into the future reveals that Amy and Tekno will settle down together and have a son, and that Sonic will be his godfather.  
Given that Amy and Tekno also have a soft spot for the boys in their life (Sonic and Shortfuse, respectively), it could be said that they are bisexual in this continuity.  
Rouge the Bat and Topaz had something going on.  
Tumblr media
When these two women first meet, Rouge asks Topaz what she likes to do with her handcuffs (a joke that was cut from the official English dub).  She also teases Topaz about her age and weight.  
However, it’s hinted that a more friendly, or even romantic, relationship has developed over time.  When the portal to Sonic’s world is powered up, Rouge gives Topaz a gem - “a steal” from the jewellery store - as a parting gift.  She then bids her companion farewell as she enters the portal, leaving Topaz weeping.  
Rouge could be considered to be bisexual, given her canonical interest in both Topaz and Knuckles.  
Emerald the Iguana is genderfluid, Crystal the Cat is bisexual, and Sapphire Flutterby is a lesbian.  (And Jewel the Beetle might be a lesbian too.)  
Tumblr media
Emerald, Crystal and Sapphire are some of the “Jewel Crew” OCs created by Jennifer Hernandez.  They have made cameos in the IDW series now that Hernandez is an official Sonic artist.  And one year, for Pride Month, Hernandez posted a picture of the Jewel Crew waving various pride flags on Twitter.  So I’m counting them as official queer characters.  I know, it’s a bit of a cheat.  
Three of Hernandez’s OCs are queer, and the other two (Jade the Cat and Ruby Ringtail) are allies.  
One of the queer characters is Emerald, who is genderfluid.  Emerald used to have she/her pronouns, but I don’t know if that’s still the case.  
Secondly, Crystal (the pale pink cat) is bisexual, and Hernandez ships her with Mighty the Armadillo.  
Finally, Sapphire (the butterfly) is a lesbian, and Hernandez ships her with Jewel the Beetle, as seen in her Patreon art.  This could mean that Jewel is also a lesbian, or at least questioning her orientation.  
Tumblr media
And there you have it!  All the (almost) canonically queer ladies of the Sonic franchise!

Tails but Downsized
It was supposed to be a calm afternoon on Hedgehog Island.
Sonic was lounging on his beach chair consuming a really good chili dog when he spotted a silhouette in the sky. He groans as he realizes it’s Eggman flying in.
He quickly finishes the rest of his lunch and stands up, doing some stretches in preparation for incoming battle. But to his surprise, Eggman doesn’t seem to be in any battle mood. He looks concerned.
“Bored, Eggy? Or just lonely?” Sonic comments, soaking up every second of Eggman being upset. Eggman struggles to find words to begin “ok so uh, you know how Tails was visiting my lair to help me fix my smoke alarm since it’s too high for me to reach?” “No, but go on..” “well.. you see, I was working on one of my brilliant inventions. A de-aging ray. I planned to shoot you with it so you could be a toddler.. because toddlers can’t fight, so I’d be free to carry out my evil plans.” “And you’re telling me this because..?”
A tiny fox kit hops out from the Egg Carrier. It’s Tails! But many years younger, evident by his brownish baby fox fur. Tails spots Sonic and runs over to him as fast as his little legs can carry him. Sonic is hit with so many memories of when he first met Tails so many years ago “you accidentally shot Tails with the ray, didn’t you?” Sonic looks down at Tails who’s begging for upsies. Sonic lifts the lil dude up, who immediately starts touching his face. Eggman nods “yes. I’m working on a reversal. Not because I want to, but because I actually like having someone who can even barely rival my genius as a mortal enemy.” “Sure, Egghead.”
Eggman fucks off, and Sonic sits down with the kit still in arms. “What am I gonna do with you..?” “Brudder?” “Yes?” Oh man Sonics heart is soaring. Tails hasn’t called him that in that way since he was 4 years old. Tails hugs Sonic “I hungry.” he whines. Sonic sighs “well, I guess Eggman didn’t feed you, did he.. ah well. Want a chili dog?” “YAH!!” Sonic chuckles as the amount of enthusiasm. He almost forgot Tails used to be like this.
With Tails now on his shoulders, Sonic enters the village. Meh Burger is having as many customers as usual, Dave looking less than thrilled. “Hi, welcome to Meh Burger.. Sonic, I just gave you a chili dog. Next time just order 2.” “It’s not for me. Can we get a Meh Kidz Meal?” Dave looks at Tails who is grinning down at him waving wildly. Dave may be evil, but he isn’t a monster, so he waves back before putting together the chili dog.
Tails scarfs down his meal, examining the lovely bottle cap that came with it as a toy.
Sticks and Amy were walking through the village when they spotted the pair. Amy waves to Sonic “hi Sonic, who’s thi-“ the girls are immediately floored by the adorable little fox. They coo over him “who is this lil guy??” Sticks asks, petting Tails on his head. “Tails. Eggman had an uh oh, and now I’m stuck babysitting.” Sonic responds.
Tails waves, mouth full “hi!!” “Hi baby! You’re so cute!” Amy gushes “don’t talk with your mouth full sweetie, you’ll choke.” Tails nods and continues his munching.
“Tails used to be a brown fox?” Amy asks “foxes are usually a darker colour when they’re born, and as they grow up they gain their more lighter colour that changes or stays depending on where they’re from and what climate they’re in.” Sticks has been keeping this info for a while now. She couldn’t say anything because Tails would hit her with the ‘I already knew that’. Amy nods in understanding.
The 3 take the little fox back to the beach, villagers commenting about how Sonic, Amy, and Tails look like a family. Sticks laughs while the happy couple stay quiet like they ain’t heard a damn thing.
Knuckles is at the beach. He’s just standing there. Sonic stops walking “what are you doing?”
“Waiting for you guys!” Sonic chuckles and shakes his head as the group walks over to Knux.
Knuckles spots the little fox in Sonics arms “ohmygOOOOOSH HOW CUTE~” he yoinks Tails from Sonics arms “cute a cute little baby~ yes you are! Yes you aaaare~!“ he proceeds to lock the poor kid in a tight hug. Tails starts squirming and reaches for Sonic “BRUDDER HALP” and boom he is snatched away back into the arms of his big bro.
Sonic glares at Knuckles “why’d you do that?!” He looks back down at Tails with a much softer gaze and tone “it’s ok buddy, brudder has ya.”
Amy marches right up to Knuckles “Knuckles you can’t just take random kids out of peoples arms. It scares the crap out of the kid and the person holding them. AND YOU COULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO HUG GENTLY??” “Cuteness aggression is real, Amy.” Knuckles makes a smug look and crosses his arms. Amy throws her arms in the air, frustrated.
Sonic sets down Tails in the sand. Tails walks on over to his workshop and gets inside. Sticks, not trusting any of the tech in that place follows closely behind him with the others in tow.
Tails stares at everything in awe. Tails digs in a drawer. Knuckles crouches down to Tails’ height “Whatcha doin, buddy? Getting something?” Tails shows him an old gadget that’s very behind on upkeep. It’s the legendary original Miles Electric. He gathers some tools and sits down, getting to work fixing it up. The others surround him. Sticks sweats “ohh please be careful! What if you accidentally call aliens! Or put the government agents on our track??” Tails gives her a weird look “I won’ do dat.”
As the Miles Electric boots up, Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy are hit with a wave of nostalgia. “Wow. Never thought I’d see this thing work again!” Knuckles proudly pats the kits head. Sonic smiles as he reminisces on the old times “it was one of the first things he showed me when we met. He was so proud of it..” “why did he ever stop working on it?” Amy asks, and Sonic shrugs.
Sticks processes,“What is it?” “This little thing is called the Miles Electric. Tails invented it as a hub to keep track of and control his other inventions. He can also track heart beats, scan foreign objects, and keep information safe. There’s also a radar for detecting hostile enemies. I remember him saying he wanted to add a video chat function,” Sonic explains, “He stopped using it shortly after we got to this island. Whenever I asked about it, he just said that he wanted to take more time developing his other tech. I guess he probably forgot about it?”
Tails plugs the device into a computer. The little man quickly begins to code and update data. His genius goes back many many years.
After that, an error message pops up on the screen. The error message is in binary code. Tails sighs. The more he tries to fix it, the more frustrated he gets. Then he just turns everything off and leaves, leaving everyone else confused.
When everyone joins him, he begins to fly. He doesn’t have half the stamina or height he normally has, but he is still very fast. Sonic hates this. Tails has gotten it in his hand that brudder chasing him = play time.
Sonic gets close many times, but that little fox is just too slippery. Once he IS caught, Tails cheers and starts giggling. “You sure are trouble, aren’t you?” Sonic is about to say something else when Tails makes the cutest yawn “oooh big yawn…” Sonic can’t help himself. Tails leans onto him. “Sleepy?” Sonic asks. Tails nods “Mhm..”
Tails is taken home and tucked into his bed. He’s asleep before he’s even out down. Sonic keeps an eye on him just in case… wondering when Eggman will come back with the reverse ray.
He did miss when Tails was this little though.

Do you think any of the compilation of FF7 enhances the original game?
With full disclosure: I've never played any of them. I've only heard about them.
Dirge of Cerberus came out before I had a PS2, and by the time I had a PS2, it already had a pretty dire reputation. I've never had a PSP, so Crisis Core was right out (until the recent HD remaster, I suppose).
The only Compilation material I have first-hand experience with is Advent Children, and I hate Advent Children.
There's nothing stopping me from looking at the games now, I suppose. I've had ISOs downloaded for Dirge and Crisis Core for literal years now, it's just a case of the "never got around to it"s. Came closer to starting Crisis Core more than a couple times over the years, though.
Generally, I think these materials are to be feared, and hearing they might be incorporating elements from them into episodes of Final Fantasy VII Remake has me scared to death. I don't want Angeal or Gackt Genesis to be canonical.
Much like going back to Shadow the Hedgehog and injecting this Alien Blood Pact into his origin after the fact, going back and injecting all this new lore about SOLDIERs being winged Angeals angels muddies so much of the water around why Sephiroth is iconic. At best, it's going back to the well and saying "You like Sephiroth? We have more Sephiroths! We have a Sephiroth played by Japan's ultimate real-life bishonen hot guy!"
Don't explain things that don't need to be explained. It's a top ten rule of storytelling. It's okay. You don't have to shine a light on every single corner and crevice of a world. You're not a deep sea explorer, you're just trying to tell one really good story. And even if you somehow manage to pull that off, future stories can and will ruin your One Good Story if you tell them badly enough.
That being said I know more about why to be afraid of Crisis Core's prequel lore expansion than I do about Dirge of Cerberus. I basically have no idea what Dirge of Cerberus is about outside of the fact it might involve the Turks? And the controls are bad? No idea.
But generally I do not like or want them. Maybe if I actually play Crisis Core I'd warm up to it more, but from the outside it looks like it also contributes to the general feeling that after Final Fantasy VII came out, nobody really understood what those characters were and everybody got flanderized in some really weird, annoying directions.
Like, the common one is that in the supplemental material around Advent Children, Barret wants to use mako energy from the Shinra power plants to solve that movie's toothless pandemic, and when he's told he can't do that, he invests in becoming an oil baron instead. Can you believe that? The leader of an eco-terrorism sleeper cell, whose primary goal is saving the planet, wants to use the very tools that harmed the planet and others that will further harm the planet.
There's comic irony, and then there's just character assassination.
They are bad additions.
