Progress Log 39

A great deal of thought has gone into this next phase of planning. While I do not want to divulge everything just yet, I propose a question to you. 

What patterns have you noticed in your life? 

How many are your own habits? How many have no beginning, so directed by muscle memory that there is no clear source to their origin? How many are outside of your sphere of influence, and how many of them are you subjected to? Which are out of your control, and which can you change? 

How often does it feel like the machinations of your life play out like scenes on a stage? 

Stories have archetypes, shorthands with sources going back all the way to the very beginnings of consciousness. These instinctual roles we oft fall into have informed the decisions of every person who has ever crafted a tale, anyone with a unique viewpoint they have wanted to share with the world. They are tools, intended to be played with, or broken to subvert expectations. 

But the source comes from somewhere. 

Perhaps these can be applicable to the real world. The same beats have played out over and over throughout history, and they did not come from thin air. Perhaps taking a step back and examining the threads around you may reveal more than you initially thought - and you may also begin to see that the patterns that have woven themselves into your life happen to sync up with the stories we tell each other.

And you can break free of them, if you so choose. 

Sincerely yours, 

⭐️ Doctor Starline

“Hey, you wanna see something cool?”

“Whoa…”

Being a bio-electrokinetic, one side of his powers means that Charge can encourage growth in flowers and plant life with a light, electrical charge.

When he and Silver run across a field that has been torn up and destroyed by Eggman’s robots, the hedgehog is understandably upset since it was once a very pretty field.

Charge can still sense life below the surface, and in the hopes of cheering up his friend, he extends his power to help some of those struggling seedlings grow and bloom, until a full patch of flowers and grass has been restored.

“See? There’s always hope. Even in places ravaged by war and destruction, life will always find a way to grow anew and flourish.”

Metal Shadow (updated 2024 design)

#not my art #dang this be gorgeous #but like this would be totally sick??? #shadow the hedgehog

In celebration of the new official artwork, here’s some Sir Percival!

#blaze my love #look how beautiful this is #wooooow #Not my art #sth #i love this game so much

…It has been brought to my attention that the Bumblecast has a FULL SERIES of Q&A’s with Dr. Starline?

I— I don’t know what to make of this.

#i uh… don’t deep dive into non-comic/game content that often #how long has this been going on?? #i knew they did one or two but CONSISTANTLY? #im suddenly both terrified and excited by what i might find #do i dare now is the question #i may try to watch them eventually but not right now #so forgive me if I keep eluding to things that have already been answered

[theramblingsofadork]

I personally like to imagine that Starline has a specialty tailor and stylist that he goes to to fix his outfits and buy new ones from.

Ain’t no way this fancy boy is buying his clothes from the Sonic world’s equivalent of a Target and calling it a day.

#He comes off too ritzy for that #His entire closet is probably perfectly fitted to him #Perhaps it’s the same tailor as his family used #he does have that poise about him that nobles tend to have #do i hc he came from status and wealth? indeed i do #only the best for this man #dr starline #starline the platypus #sonic idw #random musings #i may have to make the family stylist and tailor now #not like i dont already have 20+ ocs to flesh out and share with y’all xD #headcanons

⭐️ (About the expression chart) I dunno why but River is giving MAJOORR B2 energy (for the first chart)

“You have the intel for me?”

— Honestly, this is probably Rivet during The War/Downfall arc, since she does go through a pretty rough patch. The vibes make sense. XD

(Shadowless one included below the cut too since I like it better ^^)

#thanks for the suggestion! #i’m assuming you were talking about Rivet lol #expression chart meme #sonic #sonic idw #sonic oc #rivet the cat #my art #sketch #head shadows are hard on Rivet lmbo #darn cheek tufts making my life difficult XD #i guess technically this ended up more than an expression xD

[theramblingsofadork]

Thanks to everyone who’s sent in a recommendation for the expression charts so far! I’m gonna try to upload the first one later today.

#it’s been nice to just doodle them during lunch

*Dramatically shows up to his own funeral. Is not impressed.*

I redrew the screenshot of Zazz from @wetwaluigi !!

I’m not actually a part of the Zeti Discord with @grimsdeadb0nes and @wetwaluigi , Tumblr is my only social media. I was thinking of getting a Discord, since my buddies have it and I’m a little more confident with social media and stuff, so sorry if this redraw is kind of out of the blue, it was a great SS 😭😭😭

Original:

#k this is fantastic #zazz the zeti #not my art #woooooow #Look at that ✨ art ✨ #Those colors are fire

[theramblingsofadork]

I’m probably going to take a break from lore crafting and draw some random Sonic / OC art for a little while.

The new Starpoint AU story isn’t coming to me anywhere near as easily as the first one did, so I need to step back and give it a long rest. Hopefully it’ll solve itself when I come back to it. :)

#it’s been really tricky to rewrite to be honest #reasonings behind certain things aren’t making sense in this new contexr #while i admit the old one was flawed in a way i do miss it #at least it made sense #maybe ill revert to it with slight changes who knows #I’ll probably draw some more post Restoration stuff #explore some other relationships and friendships #and I’ll do the expression chart stuff too #any other suggestions for art you wanna see will be helpful too #story writing it hard yo #general ramblings

Holy catfish, thank you for all the love on my art piece today. ;w; I’ve been feeling very off creativity wise lately so this was a nice surprise. 💖

#general ramblings #muchas gracias #hides face in hands #it’s been a rough several weeks

Dissociate (verb): To disconnect from yourself and the world around you.

“There was a time I felt lost. Hopeless. Uncertain of what the future held; wondering if it was even worth going forward towards at all. A time when all the colors of the world blurred together, and I questioned who I was.

“It was a dark time. One I’d prefer to forget. But at the end of it all, there was a ray of hope to help pull me out of it.”

“Sonic and his friends reminded me that life is still worth fighting for. I found myself again, and was able to shake off the guilt of the past.”

“I owe them a lot for that.”

#sonic #sonic oc #rivet the cat #my art #sth #digital art #eye strain #it’s really ironic how both Rivet and Starline have to learn the same lesson #abiet it different ways but still #vent art #colorful art #not sure how much of her canon story ill use in the AU but we’ll see #‘He’s trapped just like I was’ #‘i won’t give up on him just like you guys didn’t give up on me.’
