Remember this character? Because I clearly don’t...

So Julie-Su is a character from the Archie Brand of Sonic the Hedgehog. She is currently owned by Ken Penders who is basically doing diddly squat with her as he’s focused on his Mary-Su in his yet to be released book. And I liked her when I was younger so I added her in my comics and made her into a villain. But why, her character wasn’t like that... Right?

(By SonicGal390)

That’s the thing, I don’t think I remember her character prior to my comics. In fact, the fact I made her into Juliet Suter really showed how different the two are. So what was Julie-Su really like? For the month of February, I am going to be reading her issues and see if Juliet is an improvement or a missed opportunity. This week, the Knuckles Spinoffs.

Her first appearance was in Issue 4 where it begins with a Classic Vector with realistic feet... Yikes. He is trying to get the jump on a cloaked Dark Legion Soldier who I presume is Julie-Su. And she punches Vector once and throws him to the side. So already, we see the idea of the writers preferring their OCs over the original crew. And she was going to sneak up on Knuckles if it wasn’t for this Ant OC giving him a warning.

Knuckles was having the upperhand until he realized she’s a girl and she looked to capitalize on it. Then the Ant OC saved Knuckles. After being disarmed, she explains basically that she was trying to rejoin the Legion but between it self-exploding and something making her follow Knuckles instead. Literally saying “like someone forcing their will over hers”. Just focusing on Julie-Su’s story, so ignoring how Knuckles’ papa creeps on his own son.

Well, something is happening in the Marble Garden Zone and Julie-Su joins Knux’s crew despite other’s protests. And so far it's arguing. Then they found a city all of a sudden appearing out of nowhere full of Echidnas. Then it is gone. Then an Earthquake where Julie-Su saves Knuckles from falling. Then the city returns... I’m gonna skip to the part where Julie-Su’s character is focused on.

So that’s Issue 7 where we see Julie and Knuckles talk. She’s isolated from everyone besides Knuckles because they associate her with the Dark Legion and it bums her. So Knuckles is trying to fix that. But everyone he wants to introduce her to is gone. And the plot happens. Next issue she’s back with the Legion but she’s still feeling like a stranger among them. Next issue, it is revealed she left stuff to help the Prisoned Knuckles’ friends. And when the Dark Legion goes to attack the city, she makes her allegiance clear and stops them. 

She was arrested and then, for some reason, assigned to the deputized Chaotix. Like this is two comics worth of stuff and no explanation. Issue 13-15 are the drug comics where she doesn’t really show much of a personality outside being cautious in a logical situation. Like they completely forgot she got arrested for being part of the Dark Legion. Thrown off a building. Yadda Yadda. 

So far the most interesting thing I’ve seen of her is she has a grappling hook. And it is issue 16 that she kisses Knuckles on the cheek. Despite Knux saying don’t do it again, she thinks she wants to but doesn’t know why. So apparently Echidnas have this Soul Touch thing that makes people like each other automatically. Never mind trying to build up a relationship naturally, we gotta get this ship on the waters. 

Issue 17 has her riding some weird looking horse. This guy goes up to her and choking her to death because he thinks she’s with the Dark Legion. And then 6 pages later is taking this guy to Knuckles. Sometime later talks to Knuckles’ mother, most likely warning her about what her husband did to her in the relationship. Issue 22 has her relaying information to Knuckles. 

Issue 26 has her shooting at something to blow off some steam when Knuckles ditched her last issue. Almost Yandere like. Then she decided that she needs to do something in her life since she doesn’t know what she needs to improve herself. When she thinks she needs to have more fun, a Knuckles with a belt said try on this black hat in the window. And the issue ends with her on a date with the guy.

Next issue, Knuckles is spying on Julie-Su after being teleported there for some reason. The date seemed to have gone well outside thinking she heard someone. Then Knuckles shows up and seems to be asking her to go out on a date and she looks super excited. And 28 has Knuckles’ mother seeing Julie-Su to see if she can keep him away from a certain surprise everyone else is setting up. 

Nevermind because the date turned into leading him into a Surprise Birthday Party. They dance and plan for a date next week and kiss. Issue 30 has her riding that weird looking horse again. And that’s it for Julie-Su’s appearances in the Knuckles solo run. So what is she like? You’re basic “tough chick who can do things on her own but doesn’t like Knuckles Baka.” Outside her being in a relationship with Knuckles, there’s not much of a character there.

But let’s see how next week fairs as we stick to the Pre-Penders Departure.

art by me :)

start from the beginning // read the november chapter // read the most recent chapter (january)

hey listen. look me in my eyes. have you read thirteen by anna scribbles. i think you need to read thirteen by anna scribbles. i think if you want your life to be forever changed you need to read thirteen by anna scribbles. i think if you are a person who is breathing and alive you need to read thirteen by anna scribbles. thank you

#thirteen #miraculous ladybug #ml art #emilie agreste #adrien agreste #miraculous ladybug fic #ml fic #ml fic rec #my art #THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN HAUNTING THE INSIDE OF MY BRAIN EVER SINCE I READ THE NOVEMBER CHAPTER BACK IN NOVEMBER #now. listen. in an ideal world i would've done this way back in november but uhhhhhhh i don't know what happened. suddenly it was december #and now it's february! not sure how that happened. anyway my goal is to be making a piece of art for each chapter to convey #just how fucking INSANE this fic makes me feel. like how crazy and insane and awesomely constructed it is. anna just GETSSSS ITTTTTTT #(and is using her 'get it' ability to hurt me bodily) #like with every chapter i read i am just assaulted with this intense desire to Make An Image which is not really an impulse im used to #since i don't draw a ton but anna's voice is just so evocative of images in a way that just. inspires every creative impulse inside of me #i took forever to read the december chapter but the moment i read it i already had an idea of something i wanted to draw for it. #my idea is. well. complex for me to say the least but as i told anna i am determined to make my skills match whatever i need to do because #the way she writes it is literally haunting me it is shooting me with a gun it is so something i have no idea how to handle #except i guess to repeat her themes and ideas and imagery in a collage of sorts #i don't know that's what my october chapter comic felt like- a collage. and this one does too in a way even though it's very different #i just like connecting the dots. and then smashing the dots together in an image #anyway. read thirteen. it is changing me all the way down to the dna

me:

#I ALWAYS FORGET THAT THE EMPERORS SOUL IS LIKE. LEGITIMATE CAPITAL L LITERATURE #BECAUSE FUCKING SHAI WAS IN THE LOST METAL. A BOOK THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT CAPITAL L LITERATURE #oh my god. the professor can be normal about this book but i cant #like. i can. i can write a normal analysis of the themes within like an english student should #but im gonna be sitting there the whole time like. they dont know shai becomes an agent of fantasy jesus #they dont know about marashai femslash february. they have no fucking idea. #luke.txt #SHE LIVES IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS DALINAR AND I HAVE TO READ ABOUT HER IN ENGLISH CLASS

The reason I did this month…

As I said, I am a fan of alternate interpretations. If done well, we get Webby from Ducktales. If done poorly, we get Velma. The trick is knowing what to replace and what to keep. For me, as great of a job Alvin did with his take, everyone else threw what made Mecha Sonic unique in favor of Alvin’s. IDW shows just how much more there is than a villain.

And it all begins on an island. Sonic and Tails got hit by a lightning bolt and crashed their plane. Sonic wakes up with a sprained ankle in a makeshift cast. To his surprise, this island is full of discarded Badniks who defected from Eggman’s control and created their own society. Besides E-117 Sigma being the leader, the most notable of them is Mecha Sonic.

After the Events of Sonic and Knuckles, Sigma and the other Scrapniks found him. He looked torn apart and was missing an arm and a leg. Sigma did his best to repair him, leading him to the rustic red look he has now. Sigma promised Mecha a new life and it seems Mecha is appreciating that. But ever since Sonic got on the island, he’s been showing signs of glitching.

The glitches get worse as he fights Mecha Knuckles, whose Programming to beat up Sonic trumps Sigma’s attempts to make him just guard the Egg Carrier. And while he defeats Mecha Knuckles, he realizes his means of escape is through Sonic. And by through, I mean becoming. Eggman built a mind transfer device and after getting Tails Pad, plans to replace Sonic’s mind with his, leaving Sonic at best trapped in his body and at worst in Mecha Sonic’s.

Luckily for Sonic, the Scrapniks save him in time. But not soon enough as like the OVA, the two share thoughts with each other. Sonic, even with an injured leg, beats Mecha Sonic who pretty much accepted his fate. He saw himself as worthless. He failed to defeat Sonic. He failed to protect the Scrapniks. He was more than willing to die for his mistakes. But this is where Sonic’s arguments for Surge really take hold.

You give yourself value and purpose. No one else. This is what he means when bringing up Omega and Gemel. They were both built by Robotnik but despite that (even if Tails reprogrammed Gemel) they overcame that programming and became their own thing. And like them, Mecha Sonic takes those words to heart and accept’s Sonic’s help. As well as the help of Tails and the Scrapniks since Sonic’s ankle is still sprained. 

The series ends with Mecha Sonic officially removed from Robotnik's old programming and now no longer lets the past define him. He is now heading towards the future, off this island and to freedom. I frikkin love this interpretation of Mecha Sonic as it gives him more depth than any previous incarnation. It’s even superior to Metal Sonic’s OVA depiction in my opinion. He’s not a mere copy of Sonic. He’s his own being who will make a legacy of his own.

So take these words to heart. Do not be afraid to make your own interpretations. Let them experience a new Point of View. You may find even Velma’s Velma can be done better with the right people penning her.

Hi! I was looking at your patreon page and saw a "monthly illustration" mentioned, can you elaborate a bit on that? What is it exactly

hi!!

it’s just one extra illustration per month that’s only for patrons and doesn’t get posted anywhere else (usually seasonally themed). i had to stop doing it for a while because i was in my last semester at uni but i’ll hopefully be getting back to it this month.

#ramble #i think february of this year was my favourite #and the sammy rae themed one of angel #i’m excited to get back to it because i have three sets of webcomic blorbos to play with now #also i need to update that info

Two winter blossoms that signify eternal rest:

Violet and Narcissus

But how is it fair that the way I bow my head

Is interpreted as humility, of being modest

When your head also hangs low?

But you've been grown to accept

You are unlucky, a sign of misfortune

They place me on graves of the innocent,

While you are a portent of death

Nicknamed "heart's-ease,"

A vital part of old love potions, perfumes,

For a flirtatious scent

You have always been a lure, a trap, an end,

Rumored that your gentle fragrance

Is laced with a narcotic effect,

Fatality being imminent

"Where the oxlips and the nodding violets grow.."

"..And the daffodils fill their cups with tears"

We find ourselves together

As your Valentine, I write to you in ink

Created from my petals, my flesh,

To tell you that you are good,

That you are more deserving than this
