OH AND ALSO UHH I MADE SOMETHING THAT IS RELEASING TOMORROW. it's announced at the end of the video ok cool bye <3
(video transcript below the cut!)
Back in the studio! The table is covered in papers and calculators and shit.
SNAIL: Alright warriors, we’re BACK with huge news! We have our winner for the TEAM DARK FEST!
SHINE: Thank you all for participating in our silly tournament! The results are a combo of the Twitter votes, Tumblr votes, AND the propaganda you all submitted!
SNAIL: Alright, no more fuckin around. LET’S SEE THOSE RESULTS!!!!!
A close up of the TV shows the total vote counts:
SHADOW TOTAL VOTES: 4,446
ROUGE TOTAL VOTES: 5,085
OMEGA TOTAL VOTES: 4,188
The winner is… ROUGE!!!
SHINE: ROUGE is our winner! CONGRATS WOMEN!!!!!!!
SNAIL: Congrats, Rouge Warriors! Let’s go give our victor their SPECIAL PRIZE!
A bootleg Rouge the Bat plush sits on a park bench. She’s wearing a paper star that says “da winner.” A paper crown with “#1” is gently placed on her head. A party horn blares in the background.
Rouge, decked out in her winner’s memorabilia, sits alone on the bench. The third movement of 3 Black Noises from SA2 plays - a melancholy piano as Rouge looks at the sky.
ROUGE: not gonna lie. this kinda sucks
Rouge crosses a bridge. She is puppeted like a Muppet.
ROUGE: is this really what i wanted?
Rouge lies in a patch of grass, contemplating.
ROUGE: the prize wasn’t even good… it’s just a paper crown… there’s something… that i’m missing…
This Machine from Sonic Heroes begins playing. Rouge BOLTS up, coming to a realization.
ROUGE: OH YEAH I MISS MY FRIENDS DUH LMAO. if i win, I’M WINNING WITH THEM!!!
Rouge leaps from the ground, leaving her crown behind. She skateboards to the nearest Subaru Forester and hops in, putting the car in drive and speeding down the highway. She drifts the car and it’s really cool and very real.
The bat leaps out of the door and enters a house, crashing into her teammates - REUNITED! There's a sound of an explosion, but no actual explosion because the editor could not figure out how PNG sequences work in DaVinci Resolve.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Snail reappears and reads from the video’s Script.
SNAIL: “...This is where I reveal that this entire tournament was an elaborate advertisement… for a Team Dark zine that I made.”
Snail pauses.
SNAIL: OH FUCK I FORGOT TO FINISH THE ZINE
EXPLOSIONS!!! DANCE IN FIRE, a Team Dark zine comes out TOMORROW and will be available digitally for FREE!
Thank you for participating in this silly event! good lord I am never doing this again
If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.
