The Anti-Big Oof, Some May Even Say "The Small Foo"

Just played The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog today, a dumb, goofy little visual novel made for April Fool's Day a few months ago. It's really cute, it took me waaaay longer to get to it than I expected, I originally was going to read it the day it released, but uhhh i forgor💀 but now that I have actually finally read it, it's so good and was definitely worth reading. It's not very long, and there's not a ton to it, but it was created by a team of really dedicated Sonic fans including a few of the writers for the IDW comics and it is so incredibly obvious, it is absolutely filled with obscure little references to the series as a whole that only weird obsessive freaks like me would ever even notice. The number of times I went "WAOW✨" was immeasurable, the Knuckles OVA hat, "Big Oof" (classic), I think they even indirectly referenced the fucking Shadow pissing on Eggman's wife video, not 100% sure on that tho, may just be reading into it too much, but in my headcanon they're 100% referencing Shadow pissing on Eggman's wife frfr. It's crazy how the writing teams for every Sonic related thing now, the games, the comics, even the social media is just made up of a bunch people that are just as obsessed with Sonic as even the most insane fans, like the last 10 years of Sonic media has pretty much just been a collection of officially licensed fan passion projects and I'm all for it. Like obviously there's been the typical corporate made stuff that was obviously just rushed out for money and had no love behind it too, just like any franchise, but like, I'm not here to talk about that, I don't want to talk about that, I'm here to talk about PURE, RAW, UNFILTERED PASSION AND HOW FUCKING COOL IT IS!!!

The Sonic community in general is just insane in how passionate they are, like what other community has multiple entire expos dedicated to fangames, that have been recognized by major members of the official Sonic development team? (If you can't tell I am very excited for SAGE and SHC, the next 2 months are gonna be so pog >:)).

It's so exceptionally fun experiencing any kind of work in general that's so clearly made with a ton of passion put into it. Like art that you can just sense the passion oozing out of has got to be like, peak art, always, no matter the actual thing itself, if it's been made with a ton of love, it's peak, no question. It's why there's a lot of specific artists and communities that I just resonate with so hard, like when an artist or community just loves what they make, that's just like, so cool this is my excuse to mention Trigger/Gainax I love Trinax I love it when they have to make the final episode of an anime black and white and at 2fps not only for stylistic reasons but because they just HAD to put their entire budget into the 2 minute big robot scene like how could they resist and I mean this entirely unironically I fucking LOVE that they know exactly where their talents and passions lie and are willing to put everything into what they want to make at the expense of other parts that they don't want to make. Remember when in Promare Galo starts ranting about like ancient firefighters or some shit in the middle of a fight and it was basically just a stand-in for the writers wanting to rant about ancient firefighters or some shit? yea, that was cool. Remember when in Promare they kis-

Also I don't know where to put this but I want to say it because I thought of it, but references aren't just cool because you get the reference they're making, references are cool because they can show a clear love of the thing they're referencing, and that's why Sonic is cool ok bye :)

The fact that this game is the 2nd time they've referenced the Peter Griffin death pose in official Sonic media is honestly very concerning.

@vaynglory here’s what i have so far re: gobbiespeak! it’s more a list and a couple notes right now but i plan to add to it and spruce it up eventually lol

(due to the knowledge left behind by sharlayans, the idyllshire gobbieflock potentially speaks better "common" than other gobbiekin, since they have been reading the books, papers, etc they found in the city. this is a pretty handy post on the official forums about the basics of gobbiespeak.)

sunupses = breakfast (eating x for sunupses) deathpit = Hell/FFXIV Hell analogue? (find source in cs) tongueflaps = words (trading tongueflaps = talking/conversing) eyecatch = see (long time no eyecatch) longstop = permanent settlement, such as a town or city (brayflox's longstop. is this commonly used due to the great pilgrimage) barebottoms = empty? (used only in a certain context? "gobbie mindfruit plucked to barebottoms") uplander = non-gobbie (only applies to spoken races?) gobbiebond = deep friendship/relationship between gobbies (slowfix and brayflox are connected by unseverable gobbiebond) gobwatch = the gobbie guards in idyllshire with fastness = quickly quillwords = written words, such as in a book shutport = locked or guarded door braincase = head airy-self = aether? fighty-tool = weapon joiny-skill = materia melding stonyshine = materia brainfruit = ideas (creative thoughts?) backstrike = strike back crafty-made = crafted (crafty-maker = crafter) blastyboom = explosion? (probably explosions not made by gobbie bombs. How different from firebloom?) creaturebits = monster parts knowings = knowledge (have knowings) lustyeyes = envy/jealousy (have lustyeyes for junk of brayflox) busydeal = agreement (can likely be used for all agreements even outside of business deals, given how much of gobbie lifestyle is built around business) watercross = bridge jinglyshine = gil/money humsing = sing? particularly in relation to gears and technology? (wheels humsing uplander doom) dizzyheels = running? ( Stop dizzyheels of the wicked, from Metal ) neckbreaks = kill? (gobbie-neckbreaks) bluehands = the illuminati (only called this in the music for Alexander raid? Illuminati are called "Blue Hands" in JP.)

* "Pshh.... Shkohh..." is the noise made by breathing through the gobbie mask, usually marks a pause or begins a sentence. Probably wouldnt be made by a character who speaks gobbie but doesnt wear the mouthpiece/visor of the mask.  

* Always speak in 3rd person, without possession. Ex. jinglyshine of Gillyfix, not "my jinglyshine" or "gillyfix's jinglyshine". This goes for all parties in a sentence. (What's x of Gillyfix is also x of Bob)
