Blogging moment!

-Apr 9, 2025-

First blog moment! Honestly not super sure what to talk about? Idk what ppl do for these things tbh. Do I just like. ramble? I wanna ramble. I like doing that.

I think I'll just talk about some of my art first! Specifically the monochrome Sonic + Dark Sonic pieces bc there's some context to them ppl aren't getting with just the drawings alone.

To start, they're pretty much almost entirely inspired by In Stars and Time. I played it, enjoyed it thouroughly, and thought "I wanna see Sonic going through that. Put Sonic through The Horrors (timeloop)."

There's like. an entire story in my head for this. I tried writing it, and got to like chapter 3 before the brainrot died down. I want to keep going with it but idk. I got to a point with it where I was criticizing literally everything about what I'd written so far so. who knows lmao.

Wouldn't be the first time it's happened tbh. I had another multi-chapter fic I'd posted on Tumblr called Project: New Moon (real ones remember) and I actually finished it and was super proud of it for a while. But after some time I started to hate everything about it and stopped updating the blog altogether. And that's the one I actually finished. The previous versions of the story (called Sonic Eclipse) never got to the ending for pretty much the same reasons.

So anyway, back to the art. It's got heavy inspo from ISAT, so Dark Sonic in these pieces represents something similar to [BIG ENDGAME SPOILER]. He's not really like. a person? More like a manifestation in Sonic's brain embodying his repressed trauma and bottled up negative emotions. The hedgehog has gone through a lot, so I like the idea of him having a moment when he's a bit older, where he finally just. breaks. The mask he didn't even know he wore starts cracking bit by bit until it shatters and all of the things he kept inside for years start to spill out. And it manifests as a dark image of himself in his mind that tries to kill him like. metaphorically.

I'm so normal chat (lying)

Tbh I also kinda just like drawing him scared. I like pushing his expressions in a way you don't typically see in official stuff, so finding ways to make extreme emotions work on him is just a good drawing excercise. And I wanted to draw Dark Sonic again also. He's cool. Sega should do something with him like genuinely it would go so hard.

Alright, I think I'm done rambling for today. Have a picture of my cat that I really like (her name is Luna :])
