Sonic the Hedgehog and why he's impossible to write Perfectly
(including me i could not get him right if my life depended on it)
is this me giving up on trying to find the perfect way to write him? Maybe
i've been making lots and lots of notes on a bunch of his characterizations and the differences between them, including what makes any of them Better than the others and it's been .inconclusive
but i think ive found the problem. i can't accurately describe him as a character in general in one sentence without getting too specific or listing stuff like 'fast'
and i think that's one of the only things that stays consistent between all the different media he's in
one of my favorite examples of all this is sonic's lack of a solid theme. he has themes, yes. but they change with every game and tend to be the main theme Of the game. not just sonic. so he doesn't really have one of his own like most other characters.
just gonna plug this video again. it talks about sonic leitmotifs and character themes and how they're used to define each character and it's really cool check it out :]
all this comes with a blessing and a curse. there's always someone who will like one characterization and someone else who will Absolutely Despise it. and honestly that's just sonic's thing. especially with sonic media as a whole
there are definitely ways to mess up sonic's character. it's been done many times. but that's when the writers completely dismiss sonic's core values (but let's be honest even those are flexible and everyone still does them differently)
so. if someone has the golden formula to writing sonic please please please i am on my hands and knees i need to know how it's done
but until i figure it out. im just gonna stick to this. ->
TLDR: sonic is so complex and so simple at the same time and i cannot find any one way to describe him. there are infinite ways to write him and it's honestly better to just not worry about getting it perfect and have fun with it :]

I want to see all the carnival AU bios again, but finding Zooble's is too hard, even when using the search. I hope there's a more organized way to view them.
(Trying to come up with nicknames that said characters would give my characters.)

╔══ ❀•°❀BOUNDERIES/FAQ❀°•❀ ══╗
"Can I make OCs In Carnival?"
- Yess!! Multiple people already have and they make me so happy! do whatever, as long as you're happy and having fun!!
" Can I make NSFW?"
- Yas and slay, just be sure to warn and spoiler it, etc. etc. be responsible when posting NSFW!
" Can I make Fanfics?"
- Yes and please show me!! that would be lovely!!
" Can I dub/voice your stuff?"
- Yes but, I have only one rule... show me pleaaasseeee pls pls pls 🥺🙏
" Can I ship the characters/self ships/ OC x Canon?"
- Aughh.. this is gonna suck to explain cuz its a lot to ask..
You're allowed to ship any ship! My only boundary is that it doesn't include either Pomni or Caine being with others who are not eachother!
For example:
Ragatha x Jax ✅
Pomni x Jax❌
Kinger x Queenie✅
Kinger x Caine❌
As long as the ship does not include Pomni or Caine individually, I'm all aboard!! I respect Jax x Pomni shippers, as well as Kinger x caine shippers, I just don't like them myself and don't want to accidentally stumble upon them in the tag! I do apologize if that's a lot, it just makes me uncomfy! Bounderies can be very tight! :')
