Angeal’s most elaborate prank: Switching the salt and pepper shakers before setting the table. Also knock-knock jokes.
Sephiroth’s most elaborate prank: Putting out a wet floor sign on a dry hallway and gaslighting people into thinking it’s slippery
Genesis’s most elaborate prank: Changing Sephiroth’s ringtone while he’s the bathroom to I Wanna Dance With Somebody, setting his volume to max, and calling him 35 minutes later while he’s in a meeting.
Zack’s most elaborate prank: Notoriously dubbed “The Day Everyone in ShinRa Was Convinced That Genesis Was a Mermaid.”
November 23rd is Sonic Mania day. Well, it was in 1993. 'Sonic Chaos', 'Sonic Spinball' and 'Sonic CD' all came out in North America on the same day 30 years ago!
Sephiroth: Doesn't understand the implications at first and is wholly uninterested in it when he finds out. Any attempts at kissing him whether consensually or not will be met with a swift Masamune-down-your-throat type of move.
Zack: Someone convinced him that this is a LAW that needs to be followed. He takes mistletoe very seriously and doesn't think twice about it. "Look, mistletoe! Do not try to run, Lazard." He usually gives cheek kisses though so it's fine.
Genesis: It's part of the Christmas fun for him. He makes sure his breath is always fresh and lips moisturized during the holiday season for this exact reason. He is picky with who he chooses to kiss though, going as far as to yank the mistletoe down himself if he ends up stuck with an unpleasant person.
Cloud: He's cool with kissing his friends or people he likes on the cheek, but if he ends up stuck under one with someone he REALLY likes, then it's game over. He's blushing the color of a tomato and running in the opposite direction. Parallely, he will punch unpleasant people in the face if they try to get too close.
Angeal: He's so awkward and shy about these things that he will back into a corner and freeze if he's caught under the mistletoe with someone. He doesn't like the pressure it puts on people and will go out of his way to avoid it. He's running late for a meeting and there's mistletoe in the elevator? He will take the stairs. All 49 levels. It almost becomes a game amongst the lower classes to catch Angeal under the mistletoe just for the fun of it.
THE TRUTH ABOUT SONIC'S EYES!!!! - Part 01: How to Draw and what are they??
I got a bone to pick today.
Today we shall discuss Sonic the Hedgehog
specifcally... his EYES
This has been on my mind for a while but reached a tipping point with THIS new Sonic Channel Art!!!
I should be happy. They finally drew Merlina. But no. I HATE This art!!!
And it's all because of one problem. SONIC'S EYES.
You may think it looks normal but NO!!! I've made a graph showcasing my point
See the issue? I'm sure you do
But some you may think, SONIC'S EYES AREN'T LIKE THAT!! IT'S JUST ONE WEIRDLY SHAPED EYE!! You may even think of it like this.
No hate towards the artist who made this. Infact, this is needed as it showcases an issue that has plagued so many Sonic artists for years. And has bled into official media since 1998 (1993 if you count a few scenes in satam that may or may not be unintentional, it's so weird and inconsistent that I can't really call it all that important.)
Let's start from the beginning. Sonic's inspiration. Rubberhose Cartoons
Here I will show you..
MICKEY MOUSE MODEL SHEETS!!!
Because good Felix the Cat art is hard to come by
Anylizing this is important when looking at
SONIC'S ORIGINAL ART!! by Naoto Oshima (the guy who created Sonic's design. Along with Amy, Charmy, Vector, and partly Mighty & Ray)
I will now show my analysis in his head construction
I hope you can already see how this is MILES better than that Channel Art
This is further shown in the Genesis Games!!
There's an image sometimes on Twitter and tumblr that also shows this
Here's some art I did on this a couple months back that I never posted
Part 2 will cover all the ways things went wrong (1998-Present)
This is btw not a diss or policing towards any fanartists. You can draw your fanart any way you please. My issue is with the official SEGA art and media
In honor of the Sega Dreamcast’s 24th anniversary: This is a piece I did for a Sonic the Hedgehog fan art contest held by Sega in 2008. It’s the opening scene in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 when Knuckles first appears and literally punches the Chaos Emeralds out of Sonic. The piece appeared alongside other contest winners in a fan art slide show in the bonus materials of “Sonic and the Black Knight,” which is the highest honor I could have imagined as a kid who grew up constantly drawing Sonic.
‘Bout time I finally really talk about Nigel and Naugus! With some of Nigel’s service chao Angel as well. Here’s the deets:
Naugus first started out as Maximillian’s (Nigel’s father) right hand man. Being the kingdom’s personal wizard and chief of magic. But naugus would end up betraying max and they both went to the zone of silence. Naugus would make a deal with max, stating that he will protect max from any sort of harm from the zone and other beings, if he would hand over his power. Max agreed and when they escaped, max reveals to naugus that the power that he thinks he has is actually in Nigel. That power being the ability to heal others and themselves, but also cause destruction. Naugus tries to fight Nigel for this, trying to keep him as a slave but failed, with Nigel and his friends locking him into the zone of silence until decades later.
Naugus made his grand return, but this time he’s grown much more powerful. He learns about eggman, striking a deal with him so he can take over the now Starlight Archipelago where Nigel is king. Naugus ambushed the castle, going down past the dungeon and into the room where the zone can be accessed much more easily. He opens it and brings forth chaos (not the being, but figurative chaos) and destruction in the form of crystals and disease. Nigel was going to flee with the rest of the kingdom but turned back to fight naugus. He ultimately failed however, but not before throwing both naugus and himself into the zone of silence. He would stay there for about three years before finally being rescued.
After being in the zone for so long, with crystals growing out of his body and having to live in pure silence, it took a mental and physical toll on his body. He can’t be in a room with no noise or else he’ll panic, thinking he’s once again in the zone. Because of this, he ended up being gifted a little chao that Sally named Angel. She would sing for Nigel and provide comfort when going through treatment. And it turns out he and his kids provided just the right enough amount of love and care to turn her into an Angel chaos chao! A very spoiled, sassy but loving chao.
If y’all have any questions feel free to ask I love answering things about my au!
Until I'm proven wrong I'm believing that the Genesis Pearl was somehow something Gold/Rhine was supposed to protect, and she either ended up accidentally corrupting it through her alchemy experiments or Alberich ends up taking it and it ends up getting corrupted that way, and the Tsaritsa recently gained possession of it.
hey! i've been writing for.. wow, 13 years? and been in fandom about as long. and over that course of time ive accumulated ao many WIPs.
there are so many of them, just lying around in my drafts and not a whole lot of motivation to do anything about it.
so let's play an ask game!
Send me an emoji and a fandom/some other concept (if none i'll pitch you my original work!) and I'll match that emotion with a premise/summary/extract i have lying around! if it interests you i'd love to keep going on it
The fandoms I write for are (in vaguely reverse chronological order)
Revolutionary Girl Utena (I'm working on a shiori/kozue fic and i am ITCHING to talk about it. Please ask me about it. and also my desi!anthy fic!!)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (ritsuko my beloved wife and misato my favourite girlfailure)
Genshin Impact (Specifically, Kaveh and Alhaitham. Almost exclusively actually. I promise it makes sense.)
Good Omens (The inequalities in the ineffable husbands relationship fascinates me so deeply and i love a good character study on RELIGIOUS TRAUMA)
Ace Attorney (narumitsu and a bunch of franmaya fics, mostly trilogy era. these are older but theres one franmaya piece i really want to get back to!!)
If you wanna know about my original works I'll link a post of my OC character post blog describing them. I can't wait to interact with you guys!
What if SOLDIER Trio was requested to meet some kids through a Make a Wish equivalent?
I'm going to answer this differently because I had a dream a few nights ago where they participated in an anonymous santa-type thing. Here's what happened:
• Genesis' child asked for a single book, "it can be any book," and this made Genesis hysterical. He was sobbing, inconsolable, and no matter what Sephiroth and Angeal said, the man was a wreck. He went out and bought a crate full of books for his child, and then made it a point to donate another crate of books to every orphanage in the slums and city.
• Sephiroth's child was a little girl who was asking for a doll with a purple dress, blue fairy wings and orange hair. Sephiroth went to every single toy store in Midgar, but still couldn't find a doll that matched this specific description. His solution was to buy a fairy doll with blue wings, a doll with a purple dress, and some dye that could work on doll hair. He got to work dying the dolls hair and dressing it in the purple dress to make the doll as accurate to the little girl's wishes as possible.
• Angeal's child wrote a letter to "Santa" asking that his father be given a job for Christmas, because he was unemployed and they were financially struggling. Angeal was emotional and felt for the kid, so he wanted to do anything in his power to help. He ended up getting help from Lazard in contacting the organization and reaching out to the child. Lazard used his connections to get the child's father a job within the company.
