Fast Fact Fridays #20:
In early demos for Sonic and the Secret Rings, titled "Sonic Wild Fire" then, an additional animation and voice clip would play after the result screen. This was removed later in development.

Rescued from the old Sonic Wrecks-era PC, this collection of not-quite-final, but clean tracks to Sonic: Night of the Werehog (aka Sonic & Chip: House of Horror) had been found at the same time as we found the collection of storyboards for the short film. But they never made it onto SW's famed 'Shadow Depository' of media during SW's lifetime.

Y'ALL I'm havin a huge nerd moment because I found a video which I had assumed was lost to time
I dunno who decided to archive the page for the exact Youtube search query 'Sonic Heroes 2' back in 2019 but I CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH because not only did they preserve something that I considered important as a child but the archival of the page on the Wayback Machine allowed me to download that very video for safekeeping
#Grim rambles#GUYS I'M SHAKING SO MUCH RN /POS#anyways should I attach it?#would y'all be interested in seein it?#I was thinkin of puttin it on my own Youtube channel for archival purposes#or maybe even posting it here#but that video was so damn important to me as a kid#and it was literally fanmade team ideas for a potential Sonic Heroes 2#Sonic Heroes was one of my biggest fixations as a kid to the point I made fanart#I even got my dad to draw characters from this video too because when I was a kid-#I liked to make colouring page collages of these characters in their teams but since some characters were that obscure-#there were no printable colouring pages of em pff#so I asked my dad to draw certain characters#I think I got him to draw Sally Acorn specifically lmao#there was even what I can only describe as an OC put in there?#I was super attached to em nd after some research the only thing I could find about Blangel (the character) was fanmade box art with em#They literally look like a fusion of Silver and Shadow with added details but I loved em#I was considering makin a character inspired by em since it seems they don't belong to anybody#if that's like... considered an okay thing to do

Happy new year, everyone! Welcome to 2024, the year that will mark the 10th anniversary of Thanks Ken Penders. I'd like to go over my plans for the blog for this year.
First of all: in the very near future, I'll have a post with my thoughts on Sonic Dream Team, and I'm sure I'll write one last Sonic Prime review once the final episodes drop on the 11th. I've also been sitting on an unfinished piece about the Sonic LEGO sets. I wanted this to be longer and more detailed piece that not only reviewed the sets but also went into the weird disconnect between homogenized image of Sonic the Brand and the actual fiction it's based off of, but it'll probably end up getting cut down a lot just so I can put something out. Let's just say I did a fun little thing with one of the sets.
Second: yes, I would like to return to regular TKP updates this year. As I've said many times, I wanted to do this in 2023, but I've been suffering from creative burnout after finishing SLARPG and have generally been unable to focus on any of my creative goals this past year. I'm hoping that this year will be better and I'll be able to get back into the swing of covering Archie Sonic issues. Even doing one issue every week or so would be vastly preferable to continuing the hiatus. I'm still only halfway done!! But aside from burnout, my other main hurdle is that I need to reread my own archive to refresh myself on all these things after nearly three years away. This will take some time.
The thing is, though, this year I'll have an extra incentive to go back through my previous writing and brush up on all things Archie Sonic. Because you see...
I've decided that I want to make a video essay about Penders. The comics, the copyright battle, The Lara-Su Chronicles, everything.
The why
I've thought about doing this before, but I never committed to the idea. I was too busy with gamedev, or I thought it'd end up being too long, or I figured that there were already enough videos on the subject, or I just lacked confidence in my ability to put together a video essay. So I told myself it wasn't meant to be, and let the multiple YouTubers who have cited me as a source on their own Penders videos fill that void.
Recently, though, a few things have happened that have convinced me it might be time. For one, YouTube video essays/media retrospectives/etc. are just getting longer and longer. When Quinton Reviews is out here doing 21 hours of videos on Sam & Cat, a subpar Nick sitcom that only lasted one season, I don't feel so crazy for wanting to make a video about several hundred comic books and two lawsuits that'd be at least an hour or two long lmao. Admittedly, I've also been self-conscious about doing a long video essay like this as a trans woman who has yet to do any vocal training. But these days I feel like I see a lot more transfem YouTubers who have done little to no vocal training, and that's given me more confidence on that front.
But the big one was Hbomberguy's recent plagiarism video. As I sat there watching it, I kept thinking about the time I found a CBR article that was just a crude 800 word summary of my two previous articles on Penders, published by a CBR writer who's put out over 4000 articles since 2019. If I've already been plagiarized before, and my writing is so frequently passed around as a go-to source on Archie Sonic drama, then I wouldn't be shocked if there were YouTubers out there straight up just plagiarizing me. I don't watch other peoples' videos on Archie Sonic, so I'd never know! So if people are just gonna paraphrase me when covering these topics anyway, why not take matters into my own hands and make what I would consider to be the definitive video on the subject? If hacks like James Somerton and iilluminaughtii can churn out these shitty video essays and people will still watch them, surely it can't be that impossible to make my own, right? (And also, uh, Hbomb literally told me I should make the video lol. If you're reading this, thanks for the encouragement.)
The what, how, and when
So here's the plan.
Part of this video essay will be an adaptation of my Medium article on the recurring themes of Ken's Archie Sonic run, with its content touched up and expanded upon. There were a few things I skimmed over in the article because I didn't want it to get too long, but again, people are out here watching ten hour videos about bad Nickelodeon sitcoms now. I can get away with elaborating a little more. I can add a few paragraphs talking about the Chaos Knuckles arc, or throw in a little more historical context I've discovered in the years since.
After covering the comics, the back half(-ish?) of the video will be dedicated to the copyright battles and their ensuing controversies, trying to give an accurate picture of what actually went down, the sheer scale of how bad Archie fucked up, and what our takeaways should be. This will have some similarities to my New York Magazine article on the subject, but I'll be rewriting it from scratch. I REALLY had to keep things short for that article because I was already way over the expected word count, and my tone was a little more straight-laced than normal because I was trying to keep things Professional. I can riff more and insert more of my own opinions this time, like I normally would.
I'll inevitably have to touch on some of Ken's Bad Tweets when discussing things that have happened after the lawsuits, but I don't want the video to just devolve into a list of times people got mad at him on Twitter, so I'm gonna try to keep that to a minimum in favor of focusing on his actual work. Things like the Scourge the Speed Demon incident and his continued statements on certain characters' copyright statuses probably warrant mentioning, though. And finally, assuming that the book really does come out this summer, I would like the grand finale of the video to be about those first couple chapters of The Lara-Su Chronicles.
I don't currently know when this video will get done, but it'll probably be in the back half of the year, especially with me waiting for the book to either drop or get delayed yet again. But I've actually already started writing a bit of the script, and will keep chipping away at it for a while.
So, uh, yeah, look forward to that? Wish me luck?

Oh hey, it's fan art time!✨ This was inspired by @realdrgold metamy fic, "A broken heart can mend another", which I recommend! Tried my best with Metal's design- oh, I mean, Flare lol Also gave a different outfit to Amy because I just really like imagining her with different outfits. Tried to add some little references to the fic too!
Here's a link to the story!

Fresh isn’t usually one of my favourite au characters but I was just reading a long-ish fic about him so here’s some fanart!
While it’s not directly fanart for the fic it was technically inspired by it so I’ll link it below-
The other thing it was inspired by was the sonic adventures pose cause I was at work and had the thought that he’d totally do that…
The first couple of chapters were a bit hard to get through but I ended up reading enjoying the character progression- there’s some interesting stuff happening at the point it’s up to.
