Bentley Jones, the songwriter of Silver the Hedgehog’s theme “Dreams of an Absolution”, revealed in “The making of DREAMS OF AN ASBOLUTION music video” that the song’s lyrics were based off of his breakup with an ex-boyfriend.

We turned Sonic into a real hedgehog in the roleplay recently. He thought it was funny but his boyfriend wasn't impressed.

When you’re on your way home from the club but one of you almost died

[inspector-montoya-fox]

I watched this video last week, which among other things discusses how the term "scimitar" is a Western generalisation that fails to directly reference a specific type of sword, and then I thought about Salim al-Kupar's cane. After seeing the different examples of swords brought up in the video as well as looking up some more, it seems as if Salim's cane was primarily modelled after the khopesh.

Although the khopesh is largely linked to Ancient Egypt, it's thought to have been brought there by the Levantine kings that ruled over the lower half of the country post 18th century BC (so basically not Ancient Arabia). I'm aware that (a) Egypt experienced an Arabisation in the 7th century following the spread of Islam, which would be super useful to consider if we knew when exactly Salim lived; and (b) Salim's cane isn't a direct replica, but I'm getting there.

Then, there's also the discrepancy between the cane shown in Salim's original artwork and the one in the Vault (he's not the only one who suffers from this inconsistency. Henriette originally had a dagger cane but in the Vault is shown using a hook cane, which is maddening considering both iterations of her are used in the same game). In the original artwork, Salim's freakishly big cane (🫦) seems to be an amalgamation between the khopesh and the Zulfiqar. The latter, although originally straight, is believed to have been 100 centimetres long while its later iterations, some of them fantastical, were also serrated (pictured below) and even 3 metres long.

Salim's cane in the Vault however, has a bit of a curve to it (🫦) similar to the shamsir and the kilij (of Persian and Turkish origins, respectively) and is, more notably, a bit smaller than the one from his original artwork. Despite the fact that it retains the khopesh's shape, its smaller size and curvier hilt drag more real-life inspirations into the mix and, as such, justify it being labeled as a "scimitar" (as established above, a generalisation). I don't want to be the big bad wolf who spent 50 minutes online researching this stuff in order to inflict the same skepticism from the video onto Sly Cooper, but it should be stated that, whereas most of the other ancestors got canes that are a direct reference to something (lance, pirate hook, revolver, etc.), the Middle Eastern one got stuck with a Franken-cane. Granted, we also got a white dude who stuck two canes onto his plane's propeller and called it a day, but still.

I think I’ve completed or at least nearly polished enough shots to put some sort of teaser together for RotLT. Does this mean I’m finally getting my shit together too?

ERROR [] Can/not inject torm -nt. T0rment must be 100% accidental

$: I must hand it to you G_an_. your mind was always resourceful.

theory time. Scratch had a brain tumor and was aware he was going to die from it. in attempt to thwart death, he made Caine capable of hosting brain scans into digital bodies - making that, in fact, Caine's "mission" or "function." (we hear him during his final crashout saying he's just trying to do what he was programmed to do, but Kinger in his flashback says they never made Caine for anything like this.) due to Caine's instability from swallowing Abel, this manifested in a way Scratch didn't want, thus leading to the first abstraction

I'm willing to bet the text above is one of three things: -either Bubble acting as the warden for the coding (a lot of other lines are very bubble-esque) -Scratch's lingering consciousness attempting to still live forever and keep Caine running at any cost -what remains of Abel pulling the trigger, aka the fellow AI that we see Caine eating at the beginning.

its like, picture perfect, because there's a bunch of heads bobbing in the way, but there's a line out of nowhere when Kinger is trying to stop the program from locking him out-

the percentages is the lockout initializing, and Kinger trying to press (Y) to cancel initializing it - however if you check the bottom third, out of nowhere lies the line "are you ready to delete caine? [Y/N] and Kinger, who's been pressing [Y] over and over trying to stop the lockout, accidentally deletes Caine- but why did that question pop up in the first place? The rest of the WACKYTIME routine speaks like Bubble, saying things like "that's a REALLY WACKY WORD but its not WACKY ENOUGH!" and things like that

who said it?

in any case there's a lot of questions going on here- for instance, most people (Ragatha, Kinger, the C&A crew) appear to be implemented on October 15th, but through different years (1996, 1999, 2008) but Kinger's login is from October 30th. lets all explode

as a note @getvalentined pointed most of this out to me because she can read a lot of this shit freehand

Here have this old animation sketch while I gather all my pregnant Shadow going into labor sketches I will be posting that after this so this is kinda like a “hey dw I’m not dead just busy I’m sorry gang”

Anyway I remember when I sketched the key frames for this I felt like this is what their first kiss would be like,,,,there was a storyboard with it but I literally didn’t animate any of that but I’ll give you the rundown for gits and shiggles

it’s basically Shadow and Sonic sparring and doing rival things and then Sonic staggers Shadow and tackles him and then they do that stupid thing that happens in movies when they both look at each other for like an eternity while the suspense builds up and then they kiss and I’m aroace but that shit gets me like ooooooooh they like each otherrrrrr and then my stomach does the thing and I’m smiling and lowkey giggling to myself ndjskanjfkskf weeeeeeeee aegoromantic things

Also idk if it’s noticeable bc it’s like a single frame or two but I tried drawing Sonic pulling away from the kiss (doing the “oh shit I literally just kissed my rival on the mouth without thinking I sure hope he doesn’t punch me in the face for this oops”) but Shadow doesn’t realize it and he sorta automatically follows Sonic’s mouth and still tries to kiss him for a second even after Sonic pulls away bc the emo hedgehog is touch starved as fuck and actually just wants to be held and comforted,,,,but yeah he makes himself look like an idiot there and Sonic realizes this and has that “ooooooh you want me so bad it makes you look stupid” expression for a microsecond before he just goes back to kissing Shadow.

It’s been like 3 or 4 years since I started this sonadow special interest and they still make me sick I lobe tem so muc 💕✨💥💥💥

I have no idea what to call it but old 80's animated media with furry characters and everything is slightly yellowed and grainy and the colors in isolation would look disgusting but together are super soothing and the furry characters look completely different from the modern anthro-animal-character tropes.

Like if you agree

Anybody home?👀

Since Sonic Channel seems to be posting a lot of art of Silver reading, I wonder; what would your Silvers like to read (both good/bad timeline)? Would they need glasses like that other pic they posted earlier in the month?

I'm not sure if he needs glasses, maybe he got near sighted from all the smoke in his eyes in the bad timeline XD I imagine Silver likes to read just about anything he can find, it was probably a form of escapism when things were especially bad

(I like to think he's held onto that particular magazine all that time)
