UGGHHHH. WHO DESIGNED THIS?! Why is it that when I move one pillar that one over there moves, and if I move that one, three of them move! Just follow the line on the ground! Why is this so hard?!

What do you mean my last post here was in March? It's been June for the last few days here! At least I ̷t̞h̔i̔n̶k̎ ̞s̎o? Dunno. Tails, Amy, and I were heading to some strange islands because the Chaos Emeralds just... migrated over there or something... and now I'm stuck here while Amy's weirdly like a ghost and I've got gigantic bots to smash.
Not the ideal way to celebrate my birthday, but.
Happy birthd̎a̔y̎ ̶t̞o̞ ̔m̶e̞, I guess.

bluedudewithatude - Ten Years Later. [ooc]
Boy. Time sure flies, huh?
Yep. That's the very first post on this blog, exactly ten years ago.
Wow.
If you would have told me when I made this blog that I'd be posting on it ten years later, I wouldn't have believed you. But. Here we are. On a blog I made on a whim, celebrating how it's now ten years old. Just... wow.
... Okay. I'll come clean. Maybe I don't have the right to make this post with how I've been absent in the last few years, but Sonic Generations is why I made this blog, and the timestamp there says this blog is ten years old, so. I'm counting it.
Besides. I wanted to come on here, and... update you all. Talk to you. Let you know how I'm doing, and let you know something important.
... It's about time BlueDude came to an official end.
I know, I know. Why not just leave the blog in silence? Why not just... let it stay inactive? Why make this post at all, if all I'm doing is saying goodbye? Well, that's the thing. This blog means enough to me to give it an end.
This blog's seen a lot in my life. I've moved a lot, made lifelong friends, parted ways with friends I've thought I'd have in my life forever, gotten engaged to the love of my life, realized who I am (Trans rights!) and achieved my biggest dream as a Sonic fan and went to the Sonic 25th Anniversary Party. It's even helped me reconnect with some old family, believe it or not! And all of you were here for that.
That's why.
This blog was just a hobby, something I started on a whim, but it became not just a part of my life, but part of me. Running this blog meant so much to me. I had fun with it, but it also became an obligation. Even as I've not been around these last few years, every so often I'd think "I haven't been on BlueDude. I should hop on, make a post, reply to some asks and dust it off," but never gotten around to it due to other obligations. I also know thinking that as often, and frequently, as I have, isn't healthy. What is healthy, though, is moving on, as hard as it is to do.
Leaving BlueDude quietly wouldn't feel right, after everything the blog's been through. What's happened with it and what it's meant to me and all of you. I've kept this a secret for a long time, but BlueDude reached over 1,000 followers like... within the first two years. Which is... amazing! Incredibly impressive! And now it's... sitting at 4,000+? Like. Wow. So, how many of you are bots?
When I made this blog back when I was 17, I was scared that I'd never play Sonic as well as he deserved. Sonic was, and still is, my hero. I didn't think I could play him well at the time, nor did I ever think that I would... apparently do it so well, that all of you welcomed him and treated him like the real deal. I've always been honored, flattered, and humbled by it. I hope the advice Sonic's given you all these years has helped you and made you smile when you needed it.
I went from being unsure I could write my favorite blue hedgehog to enter Sonic fandom spaces and RP spaces to say "I run BlueDudeWithATude" to be recognized, and that... honestly just. Wow. I would have never expected that.
To all of you who have stuck by me despite my inactivity, and other things, thank you so much.
Now... I say this is the end, but it's not entirely. I'm not vanishing off of the internet or anything. In fact, I've got great news to share! Yours truly now works as a gaming journalist! I honestly can't believe I get to say that! I won't say what site I work for -- not really in the mood to doxx myself today, thank you -- but I might share it with those I trust privately. Either way, BlueDude might go without posts, but someday you might read an article about the latest Sonic game, see the name "Zack" attached, and smile fondly remembering me and what I've written on here. That would make me very happy. <3
And, truthfully, this is just a more formal goodbye in case I leave this blog to be silent again. I really wanted to give BlueDude a proper send-off, proper credits roll and results screen, so I had to reset passwords and get into some old emails just to make this post. So I may stick around to answer a few lingering asks and try and make some kind of dent in his ask box after it's piled up for years. We'll see.
Either way, I wanted to let you know what's happening, what I'm doing, and where I'm going next. Even if this blog doesn't get posts anymore, it'll still be part of my life, and I hope you'll remember my blog fondly.
I never expected this when I made this blog without any planning, and while thinking I'd never do Sonic justice. Just the fact that I could make fellow Sonic fans smile, laugh, and help them out in only the ways Sonic could, makes me feel very fulfilled.
From one Sonic fan to another, and from the Sonic you all welcomed and loved of the last ten years...
Thank you. Thank you so much for absolutely everything. <3
Catch ya later!

Yeeeaaahh....Â

.: A Performapal Like None Other! - Yuya
starperformapalâ:
Yuya couldnât help but raise an eyebrow at Sonicâs observation. So he wasnât a huge fan of it then? Well Yuya would be sure to change his mind; it certainly wouldnât be the first time.
âReal monsters, huh? Seems like thereâs a lot I need to teach you.â Yuya took a step back from the television, his hand gesturing towards the city behind him. âDuel Monsters is a way of life here. They arenât just cards, but monsters with spirits. Theyâve been used for fun duels, tournaments or⊠even war.â Yuyaâs gaze fell as he thought back on just how many duels he had been a part of when it came to destruction â whether he was trying to prevent or actually being the one to cause it, Yuya knew he had been in far too many for someone at his age.
He didnât want to think about just how much the battles had hurt him, so Yuya quickly spoke up, trying to make a joke about it instead. âYou donât want to get caught in a duel used for violence. Trust me â the monsters pack a real punch.â He chuckled softly before turning back to the screen that had been showing the duel just moments before.
âThe point of Actions Duels is to become one withââ A chill ran down Yuyaâs spine he stopped mid-sentence. Well that was horrible wording on his part. ââŠto bond with your monster.â
Please donât ever become one with your monster
âYour basing your opinion over one Action Duel; trust me when I say that duel you saw on there was nothing. Youâre not meant to just stand still on the ground. You and your monsters need to race through the field together and work as a team.â
âŠWait a minute!
âAlright that settles it!â Crimson eyes were filled with delight as he turned to the hedgehog beside him, excited to share his idea. âYou need to see one up close  â better yet, you need to be in Action Duel! I was heading over to the You Show Duel School anyway soââ
âŠ
Oh god.
âOh no. Oh crap.â Yuya felt the panic course through his body, practically frozen in fear. This was it â today would be the day he died because he was going to get killed by a very angry Yuzu. He had already been running late as it was! Now that he had made a detour, there was no doubt that he was going to get whacked with that fan.
âI completely forgot that I was meant to meet Yuzu there!â Yuya quickly explained, turning on the screen on duel disk for the time â oh crap he was really late! âOkay now you have to come with me because if youâre there, she wonât hit me with her fan.â
ââŠEr⊠Hopefully.â
The new friend to the many, many he had was whisked away into rambling about Action Duels, aaannd⊠Sonic is just left to stand there and tilt his head.
They were still talking about a card game⊠right? How could it be so immersive that itâs actually seen as a disservice to the sport, or, show, or whatever, if they donât run and jump with their monsters? Maybe it had to do something with the holograms they used or something. Maybe some kind of dark secret with it? Or was that him trying too hard to be genre savvy? Honestly, it might have said something that the only thing Sonic found himself unable to question was the idea of a card game being used for war, but. Well. Every world had itâs weapon for war.
Heâs pretty sure that if he told Yuya, Action Duel Fanatic, Apparently, that his world was recently ravaged by an experimental jackal who could control reality as a VR Weapon, that would leave Yuya unable to believe him, so hey. Whoâs he to judge over this?
The hedgehog standing in broad daylight isnât really given a chance to say much else about the subject, as Yuya kept going on and on, but hey! He was passionate, and Sonic was curious, so nothing wrong with that! He /really/ liked this Action Duel stuff, Sonic could tell! Though⊠the fact that he stopped himself mid-ramble to fix some wording, was.. interesting.
What was wrong with talking about being one, in sync with your monster, in a Duel like that? Had he done it in the past or something? Did⊠one of his monsters hurt him in the past?
This went deep, huh?
Finally, Sonicâs ears twitched as Yuya brings him out of his thoughts, saying that to know what itâs like, he had to be in one himself! Wait, what? Yuya wanted Sonic to duel? ⊠Well, he wasnât sure how he felt about it at first, butâŠ
You know what? Why not! What did he have to lose?!
Sonic took in a breath with a smile as he was ready to answer Yuyaâs enthusiasm with a resounding yes, butâ he didnât get the chance as something else took Yuyaâs attention away from his offer to Sonic.
âHuh?? Whatâs up, kid?â
⊠Oh! He was supposed to meet one of his friends at⊠You Show Duel School? Well, that sure said it all, huh?
⊠And did he just say that this girl was gonna hit him with her /fan/ for skipping out? Huh. That sure sounded familiar. Mmmhm.
âSure!â Sonic responded with a wink and an eager thumbs up. âNo problem! Happy to help! Though⊠I can do more than just give you a good excuse!â
He turned around, and offered Yuya his hand with a smirk.
âGrab on, and hang on tight! Iâll get you there faster than you can say âUnoâ! Which way we headinâ in?!â
( hi yes Iâm still around and Iâm seeing the movie tomorrow and Forces is still a good game. whee~ )
âTime to tag out, Silver! Iâve got it from here!â
{celticcangel: infinity!xarach. hallo owo} â never trust a survivor until you learn what they did to stay alive. â
@celticcangel
âWell, I mean⊠Plenty of survivors survive by just⊠surviving! Iâve got plenty of reason to trust âem! Iâve survived some pretty rough tough calls myself! Youâve probably heard of âem by now~ Heh!â
âIt gives me such pleasure to see you suffer.â {haousupremeking}
@haousupremeking
âHaah... haah... haah...â Panted Sonic the Hedgehog, in the deep, dark corners of his mind. Granted, they werenât always pitch black, with hardly little light. No; this was a special occasion brought on by a special guest.Â
The Supreme King.
Emerald eyes, brighter than anything else in the hedgehogâs mindscape, looked up at the king who made himself known to his captive -- his puppet. The hedgehog who he controlled.Â
Sonic kept his teeth bared at all times as he held out against his mental restraints of bright, purple strings keeping him in his position -- a trophy of who he had tamed to follow his orders.Â
But as the light continued to shine in his eyes, it was obvious --
He wasnât going to give up.Â
âYeah. Of course you would. Yâ wouldnât have infected me and taken me over if you didnât, jerk.â A laugh left the hedgehog as he was held in place.Â
âHeh... You know, you really underestimate me and my friends. Weâll find our way out of this âDark Worldâ of yours, and weâll beat you at your own game!âÂ
He took a deep breath, wounds oozing with darkness as his chest rose.Â
âWeâre gonna get Jaden outta the same situation you stuck me into... Yâ HEAR ME, JAY?! WEâRE GONNA GET YOU OUTTA THERE!!âÂ
â Iâm just a girl, standing in front of a salad, wishing it was a donut. â {amyrosetta}
@amyrosetta
... Was that what Amy was upset about? Over having a salad for lunch? And here Sonic thought something was actually troubling her... okay then... Either way, he was more than happy to help cheer her up! After finishing chewing the bite of his chili dog he had just taken a moment ago, after asking the million dollar question that got that million dollar answer, he swallowed, and wiped the chili on his muzzle away with his gloved thumb. Afterwards, he wrapped his arm around Amyâs shoulders, motioning to her salad with his free hand.Â
âHey, salads are good, too! Yâ gotta eat healthy sometimes, right, Amy? âSpecially if you wanna keep up with me!âÂ
He pulled his arm away from her, all to take another bite of his chili dog. He still remained close to her as he continued to munch on it.Â
âBeâthi-eths!â He said, with his mouth full, with it on the other side of his muzzle away from her, âYew haâ a donut fer breaâch-fast alreahdy!â
Another swallow, and his arm wrapped around her again as he shifted his weight to his right leg.Â
âYou donât wanna lose track of me, either, âcause you couldnât keep up, do ya~?âÂ

âThat reminds me⊠Phoenix eggs make the most divine omelettes. Or so Iâve heard.â âStay calm?! Youâre not the one whoâs about to get steamed like a dumpling!â âWhat I mean to say is⊠Iâm not scared. Iâm not scared at all.â âHUMANS massacre Earthâs creatures, decimate the trees, and exploit the land. THEYâRE the twisted ones. Theyâre enemies of life itself!â âCalling you a snake would be an insult to snakes! But you are crafty. Iâll give you that.â âMaking mischief is one of my principal responsibilities.â âThatâs it! You are now OFFICIALLY at the top of my to-kill list!â âWait a sec⊠There are two moons?!â âWhy on earth would I be attacking?

*The instant his shackles were undone, he couldnât help the smile that came back onto his face. He kicked his feet, being able to move them as much as he wanted for the first time in months. Even though the strongest member of the Deadly Six stood before him, he was only just a roadblock in his eyes.Â
He didnât care if all it was that he was free from his cuffs -- he was free. And now, thanks to Zavok being in the absolute perfect place...Â
It was time to vent out some majorly kept in aggression.*Â
* ...Â
The Zeti fell back down onto the octagonal platform he and Sonic had fought against. And... ran off somewhere. Where, Sonic didnât care. All that mattered to him was that now that Zavok was taken care of, he really was free. He could hear the ecstatic cries of the other prisoners as he stood in the center of the room like a champion and drank it all in. Enjoying it entirely with a confident smirk on his face.Â
Nothing could hold him down.*Â
So whatever set me free should undo the locks on your cells, okay, guys?! *He spoke loudly, to every person that was locked up just like him who had watched him take his freedom back. In the background, an explosion echoed outside the prison block, and Sonic didnât have to question what the cause was at all.*Â
Hear that?! Thatâs my friends! Theyâre coming to se you free just like they did with me! So take your chance! Get outta here!!Â
See ya on the other side!
*And with a jump, Sonic also fell down into the same abyss that did away with Zavok; avoiding the platform for their battle in favor of landing on the ground below. He could still hear the cheers of the imprisoned people celebrating his freedom and victory all the way down at the bottom of the seemingly bottomless hole. It made him smile. With the fastest sprint the hedgehog could manage, he left the prison block far behind him, and began navigating the hallways and traps of wherever he was being held.Â
Alarms blared overhead almost instantly.*Â
Guess they found out I escaped. Oh well!
Time to kiss this yawnfest good-bye!
