If you like my art that's great! If not then keep scrolling.
To anyone that will eventually find this and actually wanna follow me:
I could take years before I finally get around to posting another new drawing. So don't expect my drawings on a daily basis to appear. But just know I appreciate you for liking my art. ^-^
Oh gosh. I think this was drawn back in 2014-15 ish. I blame GOTF for influencing me to love this ship. It was one of my earliest otps I ever drew. I don't usually draw this lightly, then again I was super worried I was gonna mess it up since I still struggled learning to draw Sonic characters at the time.
Anyway, the real reason I'm posting this ancient thing is simply because I found a little chant I made up back when Sonic shipping wars was STILL an ongoing thing. (I'm pretty sure it was starting to die out but I still remember it)
I'm just transcribing it cause once again, terrible handwriting 😅
(to the rhythm of a cheerleader chant)
"Go, Go, Sonikal!"📣🎶
"I don't like Sonally or Sonamy!!"
📣🎶"I just like the characters for being themselves!!"
Sonegg is technically problematic just cause of the giant age gap. Personally I like shipping them once Sonic is way past his prime. Like in his 30's. (Ok I may be exaggerating on the ancientness that is 30 but you get the point) It got me thinking he's never gonna settle down let alone get married and have a family. In my headcanon case, he doesn't need to be married but I did give him a family cause I'm a sucker for ship kids.
If i ever write a sequel it will be called "Two Steps Back".
Edit: forgot to add this is meant to be a Sonikal fic.
Re-Write: One Step Closer
She's here.
She's actually here.
But how can this be?
The last I saw of her, both her and Chaos were sent back into the Master Emerald. She was supposed to go to the afterlife with Chaos.
So what gives? The ME hasn't been shattered. Chaos is nowhere to be seen wreaking havoc and destruction (Thank Gaia for that). Eggman is still most likely somewhere off licking his wounds after another defeat by muah (as per usual). And that was just like, what? Two days ago?
This makes no sense what so ever. Ugh just trying to find a logical explanation for this is starting to hurt my brain. Where's Tails when you need him? He's always been better at figuring these things out then I.
Oh! She sees me.
And now she's coming towards me.
And oh-?
She's smiling at me. I mean, not that I have anything against that! Not at all, I mean it makes sense for her to be happy to see me. I did help her save her friend and the world after all. But, for some reason instead of viewing this as I normally would to a friend as a genuine smile that should make me feel happy, instead I feel something more than happiness. Like, I've suddenly gotten nervous just seeing her. And I don't even mean that in a bad way like whenever I see Amy (and a particular large hammer of hers). No. This is…different.
Just seeing her, seeing her smile at me, is making me all nervously happy? Which in all honesty is a whole new can of worms I do not wanna dive into.
But what I can't seem to wrap my head around is: why her?
Whats so special about Tikal that's making me feel these sudden emotions I don't ever recall experiencing before? Could it be because she's actually here? Alive? Not tangible, not as an orange ball of light and most certainly not because I've seen one of her past memories.
But just knowing she's actually here. Right in front of me. Smiling. Happy to see me as if I were an old friend.
Friend.
Oh, right!
I'm just that. Someone she worked alongside to help stop Eggmans plans of world domination and to get her friend to come home.
Right. I almost forgot about that. Heh, I don't know why but suddenly I wish we weren't friends. Honestly I don't got a clue what im saying at this point. I swear it sounds as if I actually want her to be my-
Wait.
No.
That…that can't be right!
Did, did I just almost admitted I wanted her to be my girlfriend?!
Ha! As if!
…
Well she does have a beautiful smile-
Dang it brain! NOT HELPING.
Oh dear Gaia, don't tell me i've got an actual crush on her!?
Now she's in front of me, still giving me that wide smile of hers, I couldn't help myself, smiling can get contagious. I smiled back at her as I normally would with anyone else.
"Hey Tikal!"
"Greetings, Sonic! How have you been? It is very good to see you again!"
"Ah, you know me! Same ol' stuff. Running around at the speed of sound, chasing after Eggman, saving the day, hanging out with my best friends. Y'know, just your typical hero stuff. Happy to see you too again!"
"Oh. I…see. Um, well, that is great! Good for you Sonic! I'm glad things are going great for you since the last time we saw each other. Although you are going to have to forgive me for not understanding such expressions. Modern day speech is something I have not fully grasp onto yet."
Rolling around at the speed of sound? Typical hero stuff??
Really brain?!
Wow. I have absolutely no idea how to casually talk to someone whose been dead for thousands of years.
Of course someone like her would be out of touch with the real world! I almost wanted to face palm myself at my ignorance right then and there. Somehow, I managed to suppress the impulse to do so.
"Oh, right! Sorry! I almost forgot about the whole you're from a different timeline 'n all! Ah don't worry so much about it! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time at all! Just feel free to ask any one of us if you suddenly get lost on what someone else said!"
"You are so very understanding, Sonic, I thank you for that. You truly are the hero this world sadly does not deserve to have."
"Hey! Don't say stuff like that! If anything I'm more than happy to help whether or not the people I save deserve to be saved. I'm a hero after all. Saving people is what I do best."
"Yes. You are right. I'm sorry for doubting you."
"H-hey! No need to keep apologizing Tik!"
"Tik?"
"Oh, it's just my way of saying your name a lot quicker. We call it a nickname, of course if you want I can just go back to calling yo-"
"No, no! I actually like it! Please. I do not mind at all. If it is something that people in todays modern world does then I do not wish to break that sudden tradition of these 'nicknames' as you put it"
"Well, alright then! Tik it is!"
We both smiled at each other and closed our eyes for a bit hoping our small awkward laughter would ease away the tension that's suddenly been building up and as much as I would have love to continue to make light chat with her suddenly Amy makes herself known to us.
"Tikal!!"
"Amy! Hello! It is so great to be seeing you again!"
"You too as well! C'mon lets go somewhere were we can talk more freely! Don't wanna give the boys the wrong impressions about our girl talk!"
"Very well then. I will be seeing you around, right Sonic?"
"Right! Now you go on ahead with Amy!"
"So long for now"
And just like that, I'm force to watch her get drag away by Amy of all people. Suddenly making me realize how I wish she didn't drag her away. Despite our awkward talk I surprisingly enjoyed the closeness of us two being honest and real with each other. It was somehow nice, in it's own unique way. I now wish I knew more about her, but unfortunately aside from her sad backstory about her dad and Chaos, I know next to nothing about her. I don't know why but I get the feeling "my want", to getting to know her better is more than "I want to be close friends with her."
I genuinely want to know everything there is to know about her.
While its clear shes a pacifist I can tell theres more to her than meets the eye. I'm sure if given the chance, I know she can prove she knows how to fight back. I mean she does come from the same clan as Knuckles. If Knux is a fighter I have no doubt she is one too. And possibly a good one at that. At the same time I understand why she held back.
If I had to choose between fighting back or not I would most likely go for the no fighting back route. I may know how to fight and I may get into trouble with ease but I mostly prefer if I didn't had to hurt anyone in the process. So I know where she's coming from.
Okay clearly I need to clear my head, all this thinking is giving me a horrible headache. A quick run should do the trick!
And just like that, Sonic leaves the area but not before giving one last glance back to where Tikal is, still talking to Amy with a huge bright smile.
Which was enough for Sonic to finally cave in.
Okay, I surrender and admit. I might actually like Tikal for sure as more than just a friend. I just hope one day I'll have the courage to tell her and hope she'll feel the same way. Of course all that is wishful thinking but hey, a hedgehog can always dream about it can't he?
End
Welp! There's one thing for sure, I suck at endings. This is still true.
So it's true then. Fanfiction.net has been invaded by the bots. Quite heavily at that for a lot of people. I've recently gotten like 3. A while back I got one spam which was odd and even odder I still got a bit of notifications from an old Sonic fic where the author is such an amazing writer. Even to this day they haven't stopped. Love them for that.
I'm considering logging into my account just to grab my old sonikal fic and upload it on here. I still remember being so embarrassed but also weirdly glad I was finally able to upload an actual piece of writing.
Maybe even dig into the stories I liked and see if any got cross-posted over to AO3.
Phone battery is very low. I disable my regular notes so this will be my alternative.
Drabble? Wip?? I don't think I'll be able to finish this unless inspiration strikes me down.
Errink Fic
"Error?"
Standing there with a look of unsureness, grabbing a little too tightly onto his satch of vials.
"Have I been good enough?"
Hands stopping in mid motion, he puts the doll he had been working down onto his lap. Fully turns his head, gaze going directly up to met Inks face.
"Did something happen?"
"..." Already loosing his wits, both hands now holding onto the paint satchel more tightly now.
Now with a more concern look crosses onto Error's face, he reaches out with his free hand towards Ink despite still sitting down. Instinctively the artist closes in on the gap and puts his cheek right into the destroyers hand. Now with his free hand caressing his husband's cheek he presses on. "Are you ok?"
"Error, I don't know if I can keep doing this"
"What do you mean?"
With a small wave motion of back and forth "This."
"you still believe it's not possible to one day love me back?"
A small nod of his head was all that needed to be said to convey his answer to his question. "Idiot, didn't i say I didn't care if you never loved me back?"
"Error we both know it's not fair to you, your the only one that still ends up hurt-"
"I don't fucking care Ink! I have enough love for the both of us."
"and how can you be so sure it won't run out someday? I know you Error, i know you won't be able to make this last forever. Wouldn't it be better if you-"
"NO."
"But!"
"Damn it Squid I said no!" Raising his other hand he puts it on Ink's other cheek. "Never underestimate just how deep my love for you goes. I am beyond offended that you would dare compare my love to those paints of yours. This isn't just a mere fling. I asked you to marry me because i WANT to be stuck to you're stupid ass." Eyes gone soft, using his thumb to gently rub on the stain inkblot. "Your stuck with me till the multiverse finally caves in on itself. You will never lose me."
"i love you and that will never change"
A faint rainbow blush appears on his face. Unable to understand the sudden onslaught of emotions foreign to the creator. Too stunned to be able to say a competent word just stares intently at his partner. Somewhere in the back of his head he has a faint feeling if he had a soul it would be beating wildly by now.
Aftertale Sans and Error. And no I'm not talking about Geno I'm literally talking about his classic self. It's like everyone suddenly forgot he existed or that he's literally sharing a soul with another him. This applies with both Geno and Error.
I'm sad there's no concrete info on who came up with the concept of Scientist Sans. Cause I get why it came to be but apparently no one remembers or knows who kick-started it off. The first fan game and first au everyone knows but nothing on Sci?? And this includes fanart (I keep getting mixed results with a simple Google search). I will dig myself into a rabbit hole if I must. Wouldn't be the first time. And I know damn well it won't be the last.
More Fanfics would be nice too. Just saying. 8 years later and there's still very little? (I'm very picky ok?)
Sigh and the most important one of them all: I can't stand seeing after/death. It's super overused I cannot freaking escape it despite blacklisting the tag. I need more variety! Can this be a result of my taste in Sonic ships over the years? Yes. yes it is.
Gah I keep forgetting to brush the dust off this blog. It's been too long. I think Im finally ready to post art again. Still shitty sketches but it's better then nothing. Cause uh I still get likes??
You know what? I constantly battle with internet shyness cause I grew up being taught that I'm talking to people irl through a screen. I'm just gonna be a little unhinged and embrace the quirkiness of being a fandom girly.
I'm old enough and responsible to finally say I'm a she. Lol
That and I get easily embarrassed showing off the things I obsess about. Haha school does fuck up your mentality easily if it's fragile. 🙃
Gah I keep forgetting to brush the dust off this blog. It's been too long. I think Im finally ready to post art again. Still shitty sketches but it's better then nothing. Cause uh I still get likes??
I am here because I'm fascinated by what the fandom has created, especially with fanchildren & combos from Sanses. I think they all deserve to be remembered, may they only have a name, a design, or a story.
I will start by doing the Errinks kiddos, cause I've begun my quest with them.
You can start here.
Oh, and if you want to be up to date, come again every once and a while to see if the list has grown !
Enjoy !
PS : If you've got some infos about the kids or want to submit one, let me know !
.....damn seeing people liking my ship art makes me wanna draw more of my older ships.
Like Shadonia and Sonikal.
The only reason I stopped with these ships was due to how extremely rare it was to find ANY new content for them. It made my love for them die. But since I've very, very slowly started to gain courage to post all my old art that I could never bring myself to show back on Deviant art, It reminds me of how I wish someone else had done more back then. Because my art and writing skills weren't so great back then.
Little something that still a work in progress. First time getting a bingo in one of these. Trying not to make it too angst heavy. Cause uh yeah there is some.
There is a time shenanigans and height differences but that's reserved more for their kid and her friends. Same with promise.
The first one I drew today and the other I did on my phone.
I was starting to feel a bit rusty drawing them but nah I still remember. I forgot how easy Shadow was to draw once I remembered how his body and quills work.
