Something I just thought about when looking at Sonic’s techniques in frontiers is how they almost seem Silver inspired.
It’s been well established that Sonic has some form of aerokinesis and all of these attacks can be explained that way, but this was the first time from what I know of him using it to create forms of concentrated wind energy.
This brings me the idea of Sonic occasionally training with Silver to master these abilities as silver’s psychokinesis seems to work similarly. I definitely don’t see Sonic ever being able to pull off the levels of control Silver has to lift a whole island or something. Although I can see the blue blur being able to give wind a direction.
Sonic the airbender HSBSNSJSHSB NO FR THO I ADORE ALL THESE UNIQUE TYPES OF WIND ATTACKS. I can definitely see the Silver inspo.
Sonic’s whole power is mainly wind manipulation, (because of his speed, it makes sense) but recently (especially with the Sonic movies) it’s almost become more electrical. (Again, fast as the wind, quick as lightning type thang.)
Not like one is inherently better than the other, but I do like the idea of chaos manipulation in the forms of power that fit each individual character.
Sonic’s being wind, being that he’s quick (DUH LMAO) but also unpredictable, his abilities compliment that by creating cyclones and the like.
Same thing can be said with the other characters like Amy, Knuckles, and Tails in frontiers.
But if you compare Sonic’s power to someone like Shadow (for example), you can tell Shadows control over chaos (while artificial in nature) has the same level if not more destructive capabilities compared to Sonic’s which we can only assume is something he’s learned to control naturally like with his speed. (His flaw being his stamina, he burns way too much chaos energy compared to Sonic, which is why he’s not able to hold super form longer than Sonic naturally, especially when his rings are removed.)
Shadow uses chaos manipulation to create powerful strikes, like with his chaos spear or (same with Sonic) with the help of a chaos emerald, teleport. But his true power withheld by his inhibitor rings, to stay in control.
Silver is similar in a way, he uses some sort of chaos manipulation to use his own power of telekinesis. One that his inhibitor rings (again similar to shadow) help him control, if not, concentrate his power.
I can definitely see all the hedgehogs giving each other pointers about their chaos energy, (even in the form of moves) Silvers powers (while there’s still not much we know about his origins, then again same can be said with Sonic lmao) he definitely would be the one to have the most control or have to since his chaos manipulation takes more concentration. (Definitely would be amazing to see how his powers grow and shift over time PLEASE MAKE HIM PLAYABLE PLEASEEEE GIVE US A SILVER GAME— *gets shot*)
Chaos energy/manipulation is something I always found fascinating in the Sonic series. And Sonic’s move set has limitless potential because of it hsjshshs, LOOKING AT YOU SMASH BROS /aff
i love seeing my mutuals hyperfixate over stuff i know nothing about, ‘cause i’m just sitting there cheering them on like “do we like that person you’re talking about? no?? BIG no?? oKAY BOOO BOOOOOOO WE DON’T LIKE THEM” like a confused but really trying parent
I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
Golden Armor ^^ Had soooo much fun revisiting HTTYD and making this new piece! My last HTTYD panting must be years old by now! I was actually thinking of doing the same concept with Astrid and Stormfly - Let me know if you would like to see that! :)
I think the major issues of Lanolin come down to that it’s the heroes (as well as fan favourites) that she was being harsh too and Mimic (a villain) being supportive towards her attitude as it benefits his plans so of course, it frames her in a bad light to many fans.
We know what’s really going on as we get to see the villains’ plans and motives but Lanolin doesn’t and that’s where people tend to forget that the characters don’t share the knowledge that the player/reader does which can be frustrating.
Genuinely outside of her not checking if Team Sonic were okay, Lanolin has been understandable in her actions because she’s right that boards going haywire and the Team standing on the track are hazards.
She’s also made it clear that she will not do favouritism when it comes to her work as shown throughout the issue and is a stickler for the rules…this lines up with previous issues and the character overall.
As I’ve said many times before on the Sonic subreddits, I hope she gets an arc or even a special where she learns to chill out from another character (Maybe from Big since they’re complete opposites) and eventually apologises to Silver.
I understand the dislike of her character (even as I typed this all out, I don’t like her either) yet definitely agree with that Twitter are blowing this out of proportion especially by those who hate IDW but that’s Twitter in a nutshell and won’t be surprised if people are here are doing the same in that one tag that shall not be named for my sanity. lol
TLDR; People don’t like sheep for being too serious and mean especially to our heroes.
