This is what I've been cooking up... I got wayyy too much stuff to talk about, even though I already made these huge walls of texts for each character. I also have a bunch of mini comics developing on Shadow and Tail's dynamic that didn't fit in this 💀 anddd I plan doing proper art of some of the missing characters.... The brainrot is real
I’ve been seeing people make a lot of sonadow fan kids over on twitter and I inspired me to revisit mine!
Star the hedgehog was engineered by a mad G.U.N scientist as a project to perfect Gerald’s work called Project M.I.L.K.Y.W.A.Y. G.U.N practically made Shadow adopt her so that she wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands which he was not pleased about, but he eventually warmed up to having her.
Friendly reminder that Tails CANONICALLY sees Sonic as a star
Tails: “Sonic, if you ended up in cyberspace, and your friends had to rescue you, what would your memory tokens look like?”
Sonic: “Huh, let’s see. Well, yours were wrenches because you’re a brilliant engineer Tails. Amy’s were hearts because she has a heart of gold. And Knuckles’ were medals for… some reason”
Tails: “I think it’ll be a star, not only are you a star in all of our eyes, but you inspire all of us to reach for the stars in everything we do”
wait, Twinpaw can talk to ghosts? what's that look like?
Yes! He can, albeit not so gracefully. This is what it looks like to Twinpaw basically!
The communication started to happen a few weeks before Twinpaw became an apprentice. At first, Blurfoot assumed they were night terrors, but when Blurfoot asks Twinkit about the 'night terrors', it's when Blurfoot realizes Twinkit is communicating with Star Colony cats.
And while it mostly happens at night...
It can happen in the day too.
In terms of what it feels like for Twinpaw, it's usually what a sensory overload feels like. Only Twinpaw's senses are overloaded and focused on Star Colony cats complaining or crying about something. Blurfoot will calmly guide Twinpaw to a soft patch of grass or back to the healers den to calm the shaking and scared apprentice, even if they both know the ghost cats follow them.
When the ghost cats leave, Twinpaw is left with a major migraine and struggles to speak (Sometimes it leads to Twinpaw blacking out, but it rarely happens). Blurfoot always makes sure they have a stash of feverfew on them to give Twinpaw after the fact. Twinpaw doesn't want this to be a big event or tragedy every single time, and with a migraine, they still take their healer training seriously.
The only cats who know Twinpaw has this ability are Blurfoot, Blurfoot's Uncle Snowwhisker, Heavyclaw (Knuckles), and Shinepaw (Ray).
Blurfoot has set up Twinpaw to get help from Heavyclaw (who is a professional at communicating with Calendulasong atp) to figure out why this is happening and how to use this ability to Twinpaw's advantage.
How Supernova! Shadow got his prosthetic, and some more stuff ✨
Check this post for context lmao (but basically. What if Sonic, uh, died)
The Tails and Shadow of this AU have a. Complicated friendship. And it gets more and more complicated down the line lmao
They are both somewhat aware that they are the dead-sibling-replacement, and perhaps they would've never been friends if everything didn't happen the way it did. But they have to cope some way yk.
I'm skipping a few drawings in-between these two for the sake of being related-ish, but we'll come back to those.
Technically this Chaos design could be considered OC-ish I guess ? Chaos is a deity here, and quite a major one considering chaos energy is the aura in everything ! Here he is mortal, for purposes.
