Introduction Post

AU Summary:

First Post

You've seen ifs and what-ifs of what many Sonic characters' future would be like, especially when they decide to settle down and have a family, but what about Espio? Time skip many years later, Espio is now in his mid-30s and has settled down in domestic life with his children and spouse. He is still a ninja who works at the Detective Chaotix Agency but now only as a side hustle as his main priority is to have time for both himself and his family. Ask this middle-aged chameleon questions about his new life, request drawings/suggest ideas for him, or even just chat with me about characters related to this AU.

My part of an art trade with @retrocandyfloss !! I loved drawing the babies 🤧🤧

And this is what Retro drew for me! I love Vector being a drag queen… Meet Gumshoe Viridian!

[retrocandyfloss]

I've been holding off this announcement since late February but I decided to post it now

Explanation below

If you guys noticed, college has been trying to kill my motivation and passion for animation & art for a while due to my professor's incompetency and high expectations, then me trying to appeal to the algorithm on all social platforms, and lastly having to deal with my parents' situations that I have mentioned in the life update post.

Admittedly, I have grown envious of artists and animators who are able to make high quality works quickly while I am trying to catch up on assignments from my incompetent college and having to tackle all of the ideas I wanna create and post in a slow process.

Even getting mad (to clarify, I never attacked anyone due to my own inflicting and personal feelings) that people are drawing/writing characters in a way I don't agree with yet it's getting popular or keeps popping up on my home page.

It has unhealthily grown to a point where I even avoid consuming fan works related to Espio and Chaotix Casefiles just so I don't get envious and think about how lucky the artist is for being able to make fanart and even use the same idea I had despite my love for the sonic franchise and especially Espio.

I'm tired. I'm tired of making an effort to please both my professors and the algorithm, I'm tired of people being obnoxiously rude about Espio's characters and such, and I'm tired of seeing my mom worry about the costs and her mental health possibly being affected by the news.

I need a break from posting and to stop engaging with the Sonic fandom that involves unserious drama. I'll take the hiatus as an opportunity to focus on college, not pressure myself to draw quickly in order to post, and create what I wanted to make for a while.

I'll still be active in DMs and interact with posts thru likes & comments, but that's it. If I post something after this announcement, it's because that work was made or thought of before the hiatus.

So thank you everyone for following me, and I hope you continue to support and wait for me to come back, hopefully mentally better and more motivated.

I don't know when I'll be back, but I'll be back to post hopefully lots of art and animations, especially of Dadpio, I miss the blog haha ❤️‍🩹
