Main: @WanderingStories Inspired by the lovely @asksonicverse! Follow Sonic and Shadow as they meet their counterparts in White Space! How will they escape an almost empty dimension and the Time Eater?
I’ll do my best to answer all of the questions! But please note I might pick and choose depending on what’s best for the story!! Don’t worry if I haven’t done yours yet, I’ll circle back to try and hit everything eventually!

[START HERE]
[Playlist]
Welcome to S.S. Generations! Where 2 weeks after the events of the Eclipse Cannon, Sonic and Shadow fall into a new dimension called “White Space”. They also meet their counterparts from various dimensions. Follow them as they all search for a way out!
However, those who’ve been to White Space before are questioning why it’s so empty. It’s almost entirely blank, with no past, present, or future events to ground them. How are they going to get out if there’s no memories to go off of?

Meet The Cast!
Sonic’s Version
Cont. ⤵️
Frontiers -> Cyber
- Doesn’t have a Shadow counter-part
- Pretty quiet and keeps to himself, which is pretty weird for a Sonic(?)
- Has strange cyber-related powers, possibly related to his glitchy appearance
- Seems to be in pain, but waves off any concern
Sonic X Shadow Generations
Modern -> Guide
- Calls himself everyone’s guide through White Space
- Still petty about having his birthday party interrupted, teases his Shadow to do stuff for him because he’s still the ‘birthday boy’
- Very laid back due to the peacefulness compared to the last time he was in White Space
Classic -> Mini-Me/Classic
- mostly follows around his older counterpart!
- doesn’t talk but is very content to zip around and show his feelings through body language
Movie -> Socks
- Once realizing everyone was giving themselves code names, he immediately went for Blue Justice. Or Speed, to reference his greatest strengths and one of the greatest movies ever made.
- Unfortunately, both ideas were shot down and he was dubbed Socks due to his lack of shoes compared to well, literally everyone else
- Is very, very glad to see his Shadow alive
Boom -> Blur
- Names himself after one of his brother’s old code names for him
- Very snarky compared to the others, and is the least concerned with getting home
- Noticeably on the worst terms with his Shadow
Prime -> Paradox/Prism
- Tried to get matching nicknames with his Shadow but was rejected
- Unlike the others, he thinks that he’s the ‘real’ Sonic and everyone else is a shatterverse version of him
—————
Shadow’s Version
SatBK -> Sir Lancelot
- He’s hiding something.
- Notices Cyber’s deteriorating condition the fastest
Sonic x Shadow Generations -> Prince
- On weirdly good terms with his Sonic
- Is it a part of growing up? Or something else
Movie -> Eclispe
- Socks had more names for Shadow than himself
- But all other options, like Hello/Emo Kitty, Akira, Tokyo Drift, National Treasure, etc. were vetoed
- Shadow settles on Eclipse, to remind himself of his past decisions and their consequences
Boom -> Grumpy
- asshole
- Calls himself ‘Ultimate’ but dubbed Grumpy by the majority
- Very very quick to throw down with Blur, in all ways possible
Prime -> Shards/Shatterverse
- Has the same mindset as Paradox/Prism with 10x the paranoia
- Incredibly weary of their counterparts, especially after the incident with Nine
- Stays nearby Paradox/Prism at all times and is searching the hardest for a way to escape

Thanks for reading!! Potentially more characters to come but that’s the cast as of right now! Any asks/suggestions are welcomed!!
Note: this will probably have shipping!! be warned if that’s not your cup of tea!
okay everyone let’s pretend I didn’t drop off the face of the earth for 2 months. (No cyber glitch hints this time genuinely bc I forgot to add them. All yall need to know is that Cyber genuinely doesn’t understand why running is so important to the Sonics.)
last post kinda put me in a awkward spot comic-wise so the transition is a little funky 😭 but yeah! also been trying to draw everyone in a way I like and the only one I’m having a delightful time drawing is blur (bless his stupidity long proportions)
Also I have been caught in the throes of like three other hyperfixations at the same time as Sonic now lmao. Pokemon, Thunderbolts, and my own ocs 💔 trying my best to thumbnails more of this comic but l simply have drawn my original clowns too many times instead.
Expect the next update in like a week-ish! Or two days. Really depends on how bad I’m procrastinating on finals lmao.
Hi, so, after your post I have a few question about Arthur, and I understand if you can't anserw them if it's not spoilers for the story.
So, how exactly did Arthur go back to his own world? Did Merlina give up trying to make him stay, or did he find a way of his own?
Another thing, is Arthur simply what others started calling him when they learned he was King Arthur and disregard his actual name, or is Arthur actually his name and not Sonic?
If it's the former, I imagine it was frustrating having everyone ignore his actual name, instead calling him a title and name he didn't choose for himself, one that was forced upon him.
Thanks for the question!! To all you Arthur enjoyers, here’s a page of the guy
I get two main questions about him: Is one of the Sonics, and will we see him outside of flashbacks? For the first one, y’all are stuck with Lance on that. The second? Perhaps :)
Looking back, I kinda realized that I gave Arthur the dead wife haunting the narrative role? For someone who’s not even there, he still has a huge presence!
The other questions, I can answer a bit more freely lol!
For how Arthur gets home, I haven’t decided that yet! Maybe the Lady of the Lake ends up pitying him, Merlina changes her mind, or he just popped back one day. However, time moves a lot differently in SATBK. So, Arthur is 2 years older after leaving the storybook.
For your other question, Arthur is what they started calling him despite being Sonic. And yeah, the loss of identity/freedom from being hailed as King Arthur for years made him. a little mad. It also led him to various coping mechanisms, which I might go into detail later? It really depends, I’m not exactly sure how young this audience runs? Arthur’s storyline would probably dip into mature themes, and I really don’t want to expose younger groups to that. So depending on the response, I’ll dial back Arthur’s involvement in the plot and stuff.
Last bit, I promise.
In terms of Lansoni? By the end of his reign, Arthur is Lance’s greatest failure, and Lance is Sonic’s worst nightmare.
Trying to reblog from main is a major hassle so unfortunately for everyone here i decided that I will also be posting any extra content here now!
Im also messing a bit with my art style so, doodle page of characters interacting! (Funnily enough, Blur is my favorite to draw.) Also the hard, hard launch of Frontiers Shadow and SATBK Arthur’s designs! With the exception of movies + shadow meeting Arthur, all the doodles are past events in their respective universes.
Slight lore drop but! Cyber’s actual personality as Sonic is pretty different from what we’ve seen so far! At his core, he’s the same, just missing yk. A bit. Also, rip King Arthur you would’ve loved teenage dirtbag by wheatus. How did he manage to find cigarettes in Camelot of all places? he made them.
Let me know if yall have any other suggestions or want backstories on anyone else! It might be easier for me to draw out prequel posts instead of trying to answer multiple asks to get there!
not trying to rush u take ur time BUT WE MISS YOUUUU
AHAHA NO WORRIES!! unfortunately I do not have a writing bone in my body so this is a stem major trying to write a coherent plot while also getting slammed in the face by finals
Biggest problem I’m currently having is the ages, because some still seem a little too young for me? So I’ll probably age up prime (to 18-19?), boom (20-22?), as well as Cyber + Lance (late late 20s to early 30s)
I also may have drawn/written myself into a slight plot hole? Which is probably because my outline for this is (big moment 1) -> (big moment 2) without specifying how to get there. So I’ve been trying to reconnect my dots without retconning anything too badly!
In the meanwhile, I’m happy to answer any asks that y’all want me specifically to answer! Anything related to the art, character design/personalities, plot so far, or hints about future events! Or if you wanna hear about my programming finals but I doubt that one 💀
Question for all, does any of you know how to sing or play a instrument? Just curious :P
Blur my man you gotta stop while you’re ahead. Man’s losing his hip points/aura with the youngins by the second
On the other hand… Grumpy might’ve found a Sonic he can tolerate
-
Guys the fact that these were the actual lyrics in sonic boom crack me up. That show is a fever dream. Also it’s where the RHCP reference comes from lmao, since it’s based on Can’t Stop.
(Socks and Tom 100% listen to rock music together, which is why my poor boy is able to clock Blur immediately.)
To any manga fans, this is the one and only reference of Nicky and his violin 😔.
guys i finally did it i made an actual outline for askssgen so hopefully my pacing feels smoother from now on. also, uni finally let us out for spring break so I'll update soon :D
Soo if they HAD to, how would they rank themselves in terms of oldest to youngest?
Because while WE may have a timeline on our end, for them its a bit nebulous within the multiverse and parallel timelines and don’t seem to be set in any true time period?
Honestly I get Blur’s reaction if a 15yo called me old I think I would have a crisis
For actual time-wavey explanations: SxS Gen happened for 16yo Guide and Prince and 10yo Classic! Which means two years have passed for them but only a few months for Classic.
Boom just has college kid energy but not old enough to drink yk
SatBK is the oldest bc yk, bro has an entire child. And Frontiers has gone through enough adventures so he’s gotta age at one point. I would’ve made them 30s but Tail’s age is slightly important so Cyber and SatBK are tied to him 😔
For Movies, timeline wise I’m saying it happened in 2022! So 2yo Socks got yeeted to earth, spent 10 years alone then 2 years with Tom and Maddie until movie 3, which we know happened in 2024. And Shadow I made slightly older because at least one pair had to be different ages lmao
Wait wait Lance, if the throne is empty for five years, who’s ruling Camelot?
A trait that all Shadow variants have, avoiding the question 😔
Holy COW guys drawing all of them was a serious pain. Thank you everyone for being so invested in Cyber and Lance for the past few posts! But we’re gonna go back to the whole group for a little while before we branch out again at the next big plot point :)
Make sure to ask questions if you’d like! (Especially ones that would cause a reaction 👀)
(P.S I see all the Cyber questions about being King but unfortunately! The answer lies much farther down the plot road 😔😅 so maybe ask any other burning questions you have so far! But I love love seeing your theories!!!)
So was Lance's King a Sonic variant who showed up from another universe like satbk? Or was he born in Camelot and fled? I'm curious but it also seems like a sore spot for him :(
To answer your question, Lance’s king WAS a Sonic who unfortunately got pulled into the world of SatBK. Unfortunately for him, after saving the day, no one really thought of him as “Sonic” anymore
Also, if anyone’s curious about the lansoni vibes in this blog, I added their pair to my playlist!
I fear the lansoni brainrot is getting to me maybe it’s time to make an animatic 🥶 it’d be specifically tied to this au’s version of them lol
Check out the [playlist!] if you wanna hear the vibe I’m going for with them (spoiler it is not happy 😭)
I humbly ask for any song recommendations and/or theories of Lance and the King and I’ll try to include it in the animatic 🙏
Unrelated, but would yall like me to make ship names for each pair like Cybersecurity? Both to kinda give everyone more personality, and so you can later filter out posts of specific pairs if you want!
Poor guys, hope they’re not too hungry, maybe this will help!
(Summons vending machine of snacks and drinks)
So they got their food 😅😅
By the way, does anyone look too similar? I’m thinking of tweaking some design aspects if people are interested (sorry guys but sock’s shoes are currently not on the table. Or this dimension)
Say hi to King Arthur everybody! I’ve been waiting to drop this bombshell for a bit but! SatBK was 5 years ago for Lance! He hasn’t seen Sonic in a long, long time.
-
Lance is so hard to draw but I have too much in store for him so 😭 I was also supposed to post this tomorrow but I’m impatient,,, my bad
Unrelated but I’ve been listening to so many songs that I kinda assigned each sonic pair to one 😭 lmk if anyone is interested in hearing them
