Finally!! I was able to continue with this great story. I'm very sorry it took me so long, college keeps me very busy and it's hard to keep up, but I just wanted to let you know that this au is still alive and hasn't been abandoned.
💫 I hope you have a happy new year and a great time! Just so you know, there's another drawing of this pair coming, I hope to finish it soon 🖤
@ken-yamh's au which is currently living rent free in my head like some sort of virus (if i may ask so politely for you to make more. if you want. that would be dazzling, luv) and ofc my brain let it roam to include So Many Characters That Werent Originally Included
i have so. so . so many questions to bombard you with so sorry in advance you dont have to answer all of them or any of them because you have free will but for your au... does silver have a stratocaster? looks like one... i need to know what guitar hes using for uh. unspecified, not-story-writing reasons! and what meeting is he going to, whats it for? is memphis tennesee a no-no icky guy in this universe, too? what kind of music does siver make??? does he like to shred? do you have song examples for me??? lyrical content, made-up or pre-existing?? how is he playing with gloves on.? do they keep their powers/abilities at all? anyways sorry im uh obsessed with your idea and it hasnt left my head in months. thank yous for your time, pookie
Wahh, soo many questions but at the same time interesting. Well, I'm gonna answer one by one.
1.- About the guitar.. I didn't think about it but yeah, it can be a stratocaster!
2.- It's a private gathering of wealthy and famous people where they make donations and hold auctions. The truth is that Silver doesn't like these kinds of events (since they tend to be full of hypocrisy and the like), but protocol requires him to attend.
I'm working on the next part of the comic, it's just that college is keeping me very busy.
3.- You mean Mephiles? He's Silver's manager, and they've been friends since high school. He only wants the best for Silver (-> <3)
4.- I feel like Silver is more into rock and pop punk. That's how I see it.
5.- I'm sure he does.
6.- Examples... I think good examples can be the music of Avril Lavigne or Simple Plan. Listen to their songs 🫶
7.- He wears special gloves.
8.- Silver and other characters do not possess super powers in this au (only Espio and maybe Meph).
Thank you, I'm so glad to read that you love it so much hehe <3
What are your headcanon ideas you have for your version of Maria Robotnik?
Thanks for asking!
I’m trying to portray a version of Maria who, while sweet and cute, is also brave and just a little impulsive, traits that remind us she’s still a child. I’ll be editing this over time to add more details or headcanons, so it may evolve as I go.
Maria LOVES dancing!
She wears a dress with a wide skirt because it allows her to move and dance without restrictions.
The light fabric also helps her feel less stifled during treatments or when her body grows weak.
To her, it’s also a symbol of freedom. Like a piece of clothing that doesn’t “tie her down” in a world where so many things limit her.
Since she was little, Maria found in dancing a way to forget about treatments and feel truly free.
Due to her illness, Maria often falls asleep anywhere: leaning back in a chair, resting against a wall, or even standing while waiting for something.
Still, when she wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn’t find Shadow in her room, she grabs her pillow and walks through the ARK’s hallways until she reaches the laboratory. There, she asks Shadow to come sleep with her.
If she’s told to stay in bed, she still finds ways to move: tiptoeing around, peeking through doorways, or dancing while seated just to feel like she’s “not trapped.”
Normally, Maria’s hair is soft and fluffy, with waves that sway with every step she takes.
When her health takes a turn for the worse, the softness fades: her hair falls straighter, dull, and lifeless, as if it too had grown weary. Shadow was the first to notice, and from that moment on, this subtle change became a silent signal that Maria was having a bad day. In those hardest moments, he sits behind her and gently brushes her hair not to “fix” it, but as his quiet way of telling her he’s there.
She prefers strap shoes because they give her a sense of security when walking; her strength isn’t always steady, and she fears tripping or having a shoe slip off if she ever needs to move quickly.
Shadow knows that if one day Maria isn’t wearing her stockings or her strap shoes, it’s probably because she’s too tired or unwell to dress the way she likes and that’s a silent sign she’s not feeling well.
If someone bothers Shadow or any of her loved ones, she doesn’t hesitate to step in front of them, even if she can’t fight. Her voice and posture alone are enough to make her stance clear.
During the ARK incident, when she and Shadow were separated from Gerald, Maria insisted on fighting by his side. Fearing for her safety, Shadow told her to hide and went off to face the battle alone. But Maria followed, determined to find him and help in any way she could. She fought with whatever she could get her hands on, her body growing weaker with every movement. In the end, after securing Shadow inside the escape pod, she stood her ground against the soldier aiming at her. There was no fear, no hesitation, only resolve and a flicker of anger in her eyes, as she prepared to pull the lever and carry out her decision to the very end.
One day, Maria told Shadow that when she got better and they finally went to Earth, the very first thing they would do was dance together at sunset.
The first time she tried to teach Shadow how to dance they nearly toppled over because he moved like a statue.
Maria learned to sew handkerchiefs and cloth dolls to pass the time. Once, she made a small Shadow doll and gave it to him. Even now, he still treasures it.
That's all, thank u for reading and for the question 🫶
