thinking about how tails has the decision to have friends or to go back to having no parents.

[hcrotorn]

Things I think about on the daily is how this whole au hinges on the concept of 'pretty sure sonic the hedgehog would have died that one time but tails was there so he was cool'. Not to start with tails propaganda (lying! I WILL!) but he is so so important to the narrative.

[hcrotorn]

Sighhhs, I really need to sit down and finish Frontiers so I can adapt it for this au already. But also... effort... but also... I am stubborn and think 'no I'll do it myself eventually' instead of just yknow being a normal person and watching cutscenes.

          "I don't think they're meant make you feel like you're nothing. And I know I would never compare to his real granddaughter. But.." Oh, he's like a sad wet dog, don't look at him.

          "Is it wrong to wish I'd at least be something?"

[hcrotorn]

" They're not. Not usually, " the kit answers, his tails twitching nervously as he averts his gaze. I don't know if I'm equipped for this conversation, and he takes a breath. His parents' faces are blurry, even now. " It's okay to wish you were something more. Some days, I think the same thing... and... I think it's okay to be upset about it, too. "

" But... it's just as important not to let people like that determine your worth. " He faces Shadow. " Because you'll always be something to someone. Sometimes the last person you expect. And... something to you, yourself. Or at least, you have to remember that. Sorry, I don't know if this makes sense. "

@somewhereinchaos / cont!

There's a twitch of the kit's tails at that reaction, the expression on his face a subtle coy as it is smug. He didn't have the whole picture yet, did he...? Oh, well. At least Miles and the Doctor could help with that! Right? His facade is rebuilt when the hedgehog breaches reality, folding his arms as he watches the GUN Beetle plummet to the floor. Even now, Shadow's abilities were impressive... and to think they could be used for so much better things.

“ I'd have to readjust the parameters, “ the fox responds with a shrug of his shoulders and a sigh. He's contemplative for a moment, a thoughtful thumb and index finger to his chin. It's not that he couldn't do it. “ GUN frazzled the emitter, but I should be able to send the Doctor a request to change them from the central hub while you're helping us. “ Presumptuous...

Miles' arms fall by his sides, a hand leaning on his waist at the questioning.

“ It's kinda my job. “ He turns away. “ And sure, that's probably not enough for you, but we don't really have time for sob stories at the moment. You game, Shadow? “

[fortruechaos]

Shadow is predisposed to want to handle situations as soon as they arise and with (comparative) seriousness; he can understand the kit's fascination with the Doctor's work even if he fails to logically grasp the exactness of its genius. But at the end of the day Shadow likes smashing robots, and he especially likes smashing the Doctor's robots. With this thought in mind he kicks a stray bit of metal shielding to the side and gives it little regard as it goes skidding on the lab's floor, sending sparks every which way, before it ultimately hits the wall and clatters clumsily. All this just to clear the path to the computer for the kit so that Tails doesn't have to tip-toe over the debris. "I know you can." He has the utmost faith in Tails's work. Why wouldn't he?

"I'll watch your back." He swivels on a heel to face the large yawning maw that is the entrance to the room, lest any other Badniks show up.

[hcrotorn]

Another day, another conquest—as the Doctor would say. And Tails is sure he'd say a lot more to the Ultimate Lifeform and his former assistant breaking and entering. It's... definitely strange, a situation the kit could never say he'd have anticipated. He would sooner denounce mint as his favorite sweet than believe that one day he'd be working for, well, good. It's strange, not unwelcome, but almost something he feels like he doesn't quite deserve. Because he has so much to prove, or because of how much he's done? Maybe both, maybe it's something else entirely, but he decides he has to focus now.

“ …? “ He stops for a moment as he glances up from his device, Shadow's words almost giving him what seems like pause. As though something he's said had struck a chord with him, but he doesn't dwell, using the affirmation to his confidence. Hopping through the hole and past the hedgehog, he bolts for a nearby terminal. And a typing he goes. “ Thanks. All I need is a minute tops. If there is an emerald in there, then security's going to be more than a little tight. “

copy/pasting old hcs here into one post for the defector verse bc I'm thinking about that one again.

This is a verse in which Tails had the strength to follow his heart, leave the Eggman Empire and side with the resistance.

Because he’s been with Eggman so long, he knows the procedures, bases, passwords (granted a lot of them are probably changed by now), mechs - all like the back of his hand. He’s your go-to Eggman expert, as well as lowkey resident fanboy.

Unfortunately, he has those routines drilled into him. He isn’t used to having less responsibility, and even gets antsy when he doesn’t get similar workloads to what he had.

No matter how much he hides it, and like most people back home, Tails misses Eggman. This man raised him for a good chunk of his life and nothing will make him forget that. In his weaker moments, sometimes he thinks about going back, but he knows that’s not a good idea.

Tails feels uneasy about his role in the resistance; because of his history, he doesn’t feel trusted around everyone else, whilst simultaneously feeling he doesn’t deserve such trust.

Although Tails goes through a wardrobe change in the Defector verse, the bottom half of his clothing doesn’t change, including his shoe style. This is because he not only misses home but doesn’t want to (and feels he doesn’t have the right to) forget everything he’s done and been through, so won’t swap them for any other pair. He’s sentimental and guilty and even that deters his ‘happy ending’.
