[rain-candy]

hi. so mike pollock (the voice actor of dr. eggman) has shown support regarding isr*el on twitter in his most recent post and there's a lot going on in there. a lot of people try to assume he's been "hacked" but there is absolutely no proof of that, plus he's posted the same thing on his instagram, facebook and twitter. right now as im posting this he's hosting a twitter space thing and speaking / answering questions but most of those are ridicule fans being on his side, and some fans coping by saying it's an ai filter (it... is not an ai filter). he is a jew and claiming that isr*el is the ancestral homeland of his religion and that he has the right to side with them or whatever, he's disgusting. he assumes people who have shown support to palestine by saying free palestine in his post "antisemitic" and thinking that him siding with israel is an opinion. he also believes that this is a war, not a genocide. i am not recording the current space going on right now, but people who are listening to it / listened to it know what im talking about. it still hasn't ended. i lost all respects for this guy. he's literally saying he "hopes he doesn't get cancelled" right now. its stupid.

he also had made fun of somebody who passed away. this isn't even funny or something to joke around with. please unfollow this guy and don't support him anymore. i would appreciate if this was spread for awareness. if you go look at the app you'll see for yourself

also, here is the twitter space recording if anyone wants to listen to it.

#so much better than those characters current voices in the games. imo. #amy and knuckles were good also but not in a ''if given the choice i would replace the game vas with them in a heartbeat'' sort of way #especially not with knuckles because i only really like the voices they gave to his shatterverse counterparts #which only fit those specific counterparts and not regular knuckles #eggmans voice was also pretty good . but i cant imagine anyone other than mike pollock as game eggman #and tails was also good ashleigh balls performance as nine specifically was fucking phenomenal to be honest #but i think i prefer the general sound of game tails over prime tails

I'll admit I didn't know who this Mike Pollock guy was until now as I've never really been a Sonic fan, but seeing Hamas stans piss and shit themselves over him literally just acknowledging and wanting the return of the Israeli hostages, not saying anything anti-Palestine, has been strangely cathartic, if a bit infuriating. Like they'll throw a temper tantrum over a Jew that's not even a Zionist wishing for abducted innocent civilians to return home safely, meanwhile I see the third person this week who turns out to want me dead for being born here and just go "damn, another one to the pile.". Like I've seen his responses in the twitter thread and his stance seems to be peaceful and humanitarian. But nooooooo he's actually an (((evil Zionist))) because he... wants for both sides to live in peace instead of for Israelis to be murdered for existing. Ok but also the reason I'm making this post is because it's because of this I found out Mike Pollock is the voice actor for Greg from Ratatoing, a character I've been ironically obsessing over for ages and now will probably do so even more.

#i'll see celebrities i wouldn't even gaf about otherwise getting dragged for being (((evil zionists))) for having a humanitarian stance #and just be like YEAHHHH FUCKING EAT SHIT HAMASNIKS #like it happened with rick riordan neil gaiman taika waititi. i don't even watch or read their stuff i just love seeing hamas stans cope. #that post i made about leftists complaining their favorite jewish celeb turned out to be an (((evil zionist))) always stays relevant #mike pollock #dr eggman #doctor eggman #sonic the hedgehog #tagging with these because i want the hamasniks to see this actually #leftist antisemitism #antisemitism #i/p #hila has spoken

[robeatnic]

really fucking annoying how zionist sonic has been lately. the actors for the movies being zionist, paramount being zionist, the knuckles show with the weird zionist IDF shit, mike pollock talking out his ass. real people are dying and that takes precedent over a fictional hedgehog but sonic has always been a symbol of freedom & fighting oppression. don't ever let anyone try & revisionist history that shit and push zionist ideology into a series that so thoroughly counters it

Me yesterday: Mike Pollock is trending on Twitter, I wonder why that is

>Check his account

>He posted a tribute for the hostages

>People in the replies & qrts are dogging him for it

How are these people real???? We're at the point where just posting a tribute to the hostages is somehow "supporting genocide" now, the fuck.

ficlet for my dear @mayahawkins “cali crew stop at a motel and there was only one bed (has this been done a million times? yes, but go wild with it, make it ridiculous)”

The motel lobby was small and dingy, with moth bitten floral curtains draped over the windows and glass vases with bouquets of plastic flowers covered in a thick layer of dust. In fact, Will was a little concerned about breathing in all the dust, but he figured he survived seven days breathing toxic Upside Down air, so he could probably handle a little dust.

Jonathan rang the bell at the check in desk, the metal tarnished from years of use. A short woman with dark gray hair and leathery skin appeared from a back room and looked the four of them up and down.

Will figured they had to be quite a sight. Argyle was still high as hell, the whites of his eyes almost completely red and a dopey grin on his face. Jonathan wasn’t much better, though Will knew some of that was from exhaustion more than it was from weed, since Jonathan hadn’t smoked as much or as recently as Argyle. Mike’s hair was sticking up on one side where he’d dozed off leaning against the window of the van, and he looked incredibly pissed off. He wasn’t particularly happy about Jonathan making the decision to stop for the night. Will was sure he looked a mess as well, and he was even more sure that the four of them smelled absolutely rank. 

The woman put her hands on her hips. “Can I help you boys?” she asked in a gravelly voice.

“Yes,” Jonathan said confidently, “We need a room. Two rooms, if you have them.”

“We only got one,” the woman rasped.

“That’s fine,” Jonathan said, glancing at Will with what may have been a look of sympathy, “We can double up."

“No, sugar, we’ve only got one single. It’s a king,” she said.

“You’ve only got one bed in this whole place?” Mike interjected, less patient than Jonathan had been, but to be fair Mike had less weed in his system. None, to be exact.

The woman narrowed her eyes at Mike. “That’s what I said, isn’t it?”

“Okay,” Jonathan said before Mike could get into an argument with an elderly motel clerk, “We’ll take it if it’s all you have.”

Jonathan paid for the room and took the key, which was attached to a red plastic keychain with the number one in chipped white paint. Room one was at the end of the hallway, which Mike commented made no sense, and while Will agreed he didn’t see why Mike was so peeved about it.

The room was extraordinarily small. The king sized bed stretched almost from wall to wall on either side, you almost had to turn sideways to walk along the sides of the bed. There was a stretch of floor along the foot of the bed, some of which was covered by a small writing desk. The carpet was… well, it was disgusting. There were so many stains it looked like a Jackson Pollock original if Jackson Pollock worked solely with browns and yellows. It was impossible to tell what color the carpet had originally been, but Will hoped tan, because that’s what it was now.

“I don’t know if I want to sleep on that floor even with a blanket over it,” Will said, “I don’t want anything to like… seep through.”

Mike grimaced. “That’s fucking disgusting. You think the bathroom’s this gross? I’d rather sleep in a bathtub.”

Will followed as Mike swung the bathroom door open and flicked the light on. The light made a rattling sound as it flickered to life, and even when it did it was incredibly dim. 

"This room is like something out of a goddamn horror movie," Mike said.

Will watched a spider run from the wall into a small vent on the floor and shuddered. Mike drew back the shower curtain in a swift motion.

“You’ve got to be kidding,” Will said as Mike groaned. The ceramic tub was streaked with rust stains and a layer of green grime sat on the bottom.

“So much for sleeping in there,” Mike grumbled.

"Not like you'd fit anyway," Will added.

They exited the bathroom to find Argyle already passed out on one side of the bed and Jonathan sitting at the small desk with his head in his hands.

“Seriously, he just decided he gets the bed?” Mike asked, nudging Argyle’s leg not particularly gently, though Argyle didn’t stir.

“Well, I think we’re gonna have to share,” Jonathan said reluctantly.

“All of us?” Will asked, affronted.

“Well, yeah,” Jonathan said with a shrug, “It’s a big bed.”

“Not big enough for four!” Mike said.

“Okay, well you do whatever you want, Mike. I’m fucking tired,” Jonathan said, climbing into the bed on top of the duvet and settling in close to Argyle, leaving room on the other side of him.

Mike scoffed. “This is insane.”

Will frowned. “Yeah. It is,” he paused, “But I need sleep.”

Will ignored Mike’s disbelief as he got in bed next to his brother, leaving a very small space that Mike could squeeze into if he wanted.

Mike shook his head. “This is crazy,” he said, sitting in the small wooden desk chair, “I’ll just fucking sleep here.”

“Suit yourself,” Jonathan mumbled, “Can you hit the lights?”

Mike huffed and got up to flick the lights off. Once he did, the room was illuminated only by the moonlight coming through the window. Mike didn’t wait for his eyes to adjust and stumbled a little walking back to the chair.

“Shit,” he hissed, and slumped back into the chair, leaning his upper body on the desk and trying to get comfortable.

After fifteen minutes or so of silence, save for the cheap AC periodically kicking on with a rattling sound, Will was actually starting to drift off. That was until he felt someone standing above him and jolted awake.

“Mike?” he whispered.

“Yeah,” Mike said at full volume, “Uh, can you scoot over?”

Will was on his back, and he wiggled slightly closer to his brother, who was on his side with his back turned to him. “Sorry, that’s as far as I can go.”

Mike nodded and crawled into the bed, also lying on his back, his shoulder pressed snugly against Will’s. It was a little pathetic, how Will’s pulse picked up at that.

“Is your brother spooning Argyle?” Mike asked after a moment.

“This is what it looks like to be secure in your manhood, little dude,” Argyle answered serenely.

“I thought you were asleep,” Mike said.

“Well it’s a little hard to stay asleep when you won’t stop talking,” Jonathan piped up.

“It’s a little hard to sleep in a dingy motel bed with three other guys!” Mike retorted.

“Shhh,” Argyle said, “Just snuggle up to baby Byers and let the Sandman sprinkle his magical sleepy sand, my guy.”

Will was grateful that it was too dark for anyone to see the way his face went bright red at that.

“What?” Mike squeaked, “I’m not gonna cuddle up to Will, that’s–”

“Mike,” Jonathan interjected harshly, “Please shut up. Some of us are trying to sleep.”

Mike huffed. Will guessed that Jonathan’s clipped tone wasn’t just because he was annoyed about being kept awake, and he didn’t know whether to feel thankful or pathetic.

Suddenly, something occurred to Will.

“Hey, Jonathan?” Will asked.

“Yeah, buddy?” Jonathan answered.

“Why don’t two of us just sleep in the van?”

There was a moment of silence before Jonathan burst out laughing. “That’s a good fucking question.”

Mike sat up immediately, “Will and I will go,” he said quickly.

Will felt his face heat up again, which was so fucking stupid, because obviously Mike would want to sleep with him over Jonathan or Argyle.

“Sure, fine,” Jonathan said, “Keys are on the desk.”

They made Argyle and Jonathan relinquish the duvet from the bed and Will followed Mike out to the parking lot. They spread the blanket out on the floor of the van, and Mike climbed in first with Will following.

Will slid the door shut, and Mike was already getting settled.

“Tired as shit,” Mike muttered, turning his back to Will.

“Yeah,” Will agreed quietly. He didn’t lie down immediately. 

“You okay?” Mike asked, though he wasn’t facing him.

“Fine,” Will said, and laid down to prevent any further questions. There was more room to spread out in the van than there had been in the crowded bed, so he and Mike weren’t touching like they had been before. Will mourned the loss of Mike’s arm pressed solidly against his.

“You sure?” Mike asked through a yawn.

“I’m sure,” Will responded.

Unexpectedly, Mike flipped over to face Will. Will’s breath hitched.

“Sorry if I was weird,” Mike murmured. 

“What?” Will asked.

“When Argyle was talking about us… cuddling or whatever. Sorry if I seemed weird, or like… defensive.”

“I didn’t think you were defensive,” Will said, “I thought you were grossed out.”

Mike huffed a laugh. “I wasn’t grossed out. Not by you.”

“Oh,” Will said.

“Can I–” Mike started to ask but cut himself off.

“Yeah,” Will answered without thinking. His cheeks tinged pink once he realized how eagerly he’d agreed to something Mike hadn’t even asked.

“You’re sure?” Mike asked.

Will nodded, still not knowing exactly what to expect.

Mike inched closer, until they were pressed together like they’d been on the bed. Will held his breath. What was Mike doing? And why?

“I think,” Mike said, "I might sleep better this way.”

“Okay,” Will responded quietly, not trusting his voice at anything above a whisper.

It didn’t take long for Mike’s presence and his warmth to lull Will to sleep, not to mention how ridiculously exhausted they both were. Now wasn't the time to question things or to have a crisis about the feeling of Mike's skin on his.

Next thing Will knew, the van door was being slid open and sunlight was pouring into the van. He cracked his eyes open and squinted up at Jonathan and Argyle, standing above him outside the door. The next thing he registered was arms wrapped firmly around him, soft breaths on his neck, and hair tickling his jaw. Before he could even start to process that, Mike jolted awake and rolled off of Will with wide eyes, staring at Jonathan and Argyle.

Jonathan’s expression was unreadable, but Argyle shot Mike a thumbs up.

Mike’s face was bright red as he met Will’s eyes. Will gave him a reassuring smile, hoping that wasn’t too incriminating. Maybe he was supposed to act repulsed, or laugh it off and punch Mike’s shoulder. He wasn’t sure, but he did know that he didn’t want Mike to feel embarrassed.

To Will’s surprise, Mike smiled back. “How did you sleep?” he asked Will.

“Really well, actually,” Will answered honestly.

“Yeah, me too,” Mike said, the soft smile not leaving his face.

“Cool,” Will said.

“Cool, Mike repeated.

Will wasn’t really sure what to make of it. He tried not to overthink. He and Mike were okay, and that was all that mattered.

Because I just posted another place where they mentioned it, I also wanna remind y'all of how Eggman's name Ivo is really meant to be pronounced with even more proof this time lol

Despite the Sonic Bible very obviously not being canon (which is a good thing lol), Sega of America were actually the ones that gave him the name Ivo Robotnik, which was the one thing that came out of this that Sega of Japan actually ended up accepting as canon as a name for him, so that's the part that matters here

In the draft 2 version of the Sonic Bible, it specifically mentions that the name Ivo is in fact meant to be pronounced "EE-VO"

This is more solid proof if you didn't believe this guy below on the Sonic Retro forums was Dean Sitton, the guy that actually chose the name for him. He says the same thing, that with its pronunciation, it's supposed to sound like "evil"

Then of course, you have my video where I compiled the one time it's been said by Eggman in official media in English and the bonus time where Mike Pollock pronounced it that way again in the Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 trailer:

The second example here was a fan made project but when asked about the way Ivo was pronounced a lot by surprised fans, Mike talked about how Sega has an Ivo on the team and that they'd obviously know how to pronounce it

Unfortunately Mike Pollock later went on to accidentally say it wrong in another fan project of Sonic and Tails R, maybe because he forgot or was at least told to say it that way and just went with it Idk but it's alright XD

And even more unfortunately because it was actually official and the video is meant to be teaching you about the character, in the English TailsTube Eggman episode they fucked up big time as Tails pronounced it as "eye-voh"

BUT in the JAPANESE version of the same video, they get it right! Very funny how in the present, Sega/Sonic Team Japan get the pronunciation right over Sega/Sonic team America now, despite the latter being the origin of the name for him lol

Here's hoping they get it correct in English if they ever have the characters actually say it in the games, especially Eggman himself instead of having him say his own name wrong lol

So here's your reminder that it's pronounced "ee-vo", this time with even more proof XD

#you can prefer “eye-vo” but it's wrong okay <3 lol #AoStH and Eng TailsTube were wrong #dr eggman #dr. eggman #dr robotnik #pronunciation #my post

[thecount03]

It really fucking sucks when something you've loved your entire life is now having really shit people attached to it, I don't think I can ever let go of Sonic, it means far too much to me but I certainly won't be giving my money to the movies at least and debatable on anything else considering Mike Pollock as well, we'll have to see if Sega does anything about that situation

Honestly, I hope he gets the boot, even if Eggman will sound different from then on

But yeah Free Palestine and fuck bigots even if they're tied to something you love with your whole heart

ai shouldn't be a polarizing issue. you're using SOMEONE ELSE'S voice without their consent. Not an impression, an actual fucking recreation. like how is that anything but disgusting. I'm okay with vocaloids because the people used to make voice banks actually give fucking consent. but when you're running around willy nilly using people's voice without their knowledge or approval, i can't help but be disgusted. i usually refrain from doing too much swearing in case my employer finds my blog, but I don't fucking care. this issue is vital to me. there's a reason more and more voice actors like Mike Pollock and Andy Field are speaking out against it.

#fuck ai

[randomthefox]

What's your opinion on the 2010s Sonic voice actors?

I think it's really funny that they kept just Mike Pollock despite recasting everyone else, for one thing. lol. It's gonna be a real fucking sad day when they finally have to recast Eggman because Mike finally retired or something.

Roger Craig Smith is obviously a legendary voice actor and brings all of his skill and talent to the role which is incredibly admirable considering it's not really the same kind of material he was given to work with as say for example Ezio from Assassins Creed, especially at the time when the first handful of games he was slated for were a bit more lowbrow. He's definitely the best english voice actor Sonic has had so far. Jason Griffith EVENTUALLY matured into the role by his final game, but Roger Craig Smith just nailed it right out of the gate. That being said I don't really consider him to be the definitive english Sonic voice. I don't think we've heard the definitive english Sonic voice yet. So far nothing we've gotten has been on the same level as Jun'ichi Kanemaru. Jun really just IS Sonic and I don't think we're ever going to get a proper english VA equivalent.

Kate Higgins is a perfectly serviceable Tails. I think she did a good job. Especially given her competition at the time lol. I'm sorry I just didn't like the 4Kids Tails voice actors performance at all, it just felt so generic to me. And I don't know why it took the games so long to figure out that when you're voicing a young boy you need to just get an adult woman to do it, why did they keep hiring actual literal children to do the voices? Children who can't fucking act? So yeah, I think Kate Higgins was probably the best voice for Tails we had gotten THUS FAR at that point, very much like Roger Craig Smith. But I do also feel that she started losing her grip on the voice by the end. Listen to Tails in Lost World and it just starts to feel like he's smoked a bunch of marlboros, you know? Ultimately I think Colleen O'Shaughnessey is THE definitive Tails voice, the actual ideal english VA equivalent to the japanese voice.

Everyone else is serviceable. I think they're totally fine. Laura Bailey as Blaze the Cat amuses me to no end. And Quinton Flynn as Silver is perfect casting, wish they'd kept him on for that character.

#random thoughts #mike pollock

[gayemeralds]

So for your revised version of the Sonic movies, would you still keep Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Jim Carrey as Robotnik/Eggman, Colleen O'Shaughnessy as Tails, and Idris Elba as Knuckles?

When looking at movies based on established IPs or animated shows, they either go with having the usual professional VAs return as their characters but also introduce a bunch of new characters voiced by celebrities to compensate (like with the SpongeBob movies, Rugrats trilogy, and My Little Pony The Movie 2017) or outright replace the entire voice cast with celebrities (the recent 2023 animated Mario movie and SCOOB) if they aren't adding new characters. So with that in mind, would you still keep Ben, Jim, and Idris as Sonic, Robotnik/Eggman, and Knuckles for the sake of filling the celebrity quota for theatrical movies?

in my ideal ideal world this movie would be fully animated and be decently accurate adaptations of the classic games so famous live action actors wouldn't be needed. in my Perfect World they would just use the game voice actors for this. like mike pollock is a perfect eggman and roger craig smith is already a VERY renowned voice actor who's played batman and captain america, for instance. if they can keep tails's voice actor for the movies i don't see why we can't have a mostly game voiced series. like i know sonic x was a different scenerio but...

im not SUPER familiar with voice actors so like i can't really give Celebrity Alternatives. but i would DEFINITELY axe sonic and knuckles's voice actors. ben schwartz is great but i HATE HATE HATE his voice for sonic. if we're using my idea for the games (actual attempts at being a game adaptation) then ben schwartz just does not fit for that version of sonic, who's cooler than ice and a fierce and reckless daredevil. he doesn't work. idris elba didn't even work for the original sonic movies that is TOO deep of a voice for knuckles im sorry it doesn't work.

i guess if i had to i would have sonic keep his video game actor for sure since he's already a big hit. i think it would be great if sonic AND eggman had their game voice actors but i think realistically they would push for eggmn to have a famous voice actor. mark hamil could probably fuck some shit up as him if i'm honest. if they gave other characters like amy, knuckles, and tails famous voice actors i wouldn't be surprised. still, i think it would be best to just keep the voice actors from the games unless there's genuine better opportunities.

#im not SUPER fond of the current english voice actors for most of the sonic cast because they all sound . decidedly too old for the roles #but like. i'd rather just keep the video game actors then replace them with famous people #tara strong would probably end up as amy lol. #master emerald brothel
