Sonic head canons- movie nights

We know Sonic likes Speed and the Fast and Furious movies, so this is about what Tails and Knuckles would get into

Knuckles likes westerns such as Tombstone and The Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood becomes his favorite actor and likes to recite the line “Do you feel lucky punk, do you?” He also really liked 300 and Braveheart. His favorite new release is The Northman, which sparked his interest in Viking history. He also re-enacts the berserkers from that movie before going into battle

Tails likes a lot of Disney movies, but when Tom and Maddie put on Top Gun for movie night, Tails was enthralled by it and also begged to see the sequel. Tails wonders if he could join the real Top gun

Finally! I’ve been waiting for someone to do Stobotnik with AoStH Robotnik

eggman has a nightmare

[metalchick36]

Reminds me of that episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Eggman tried to marry his high school crush, but it was Sonic in a wedding dress and he even kissed him too! But in a taunting way

Sonic 3 head canons, part 3

While Robotnik is recuperating, and having equal access to his technology, Stone creates his own henchmen to push around, Scratch and Grounder

Tom and Maddie announce an addition to their family after she finds out that she’s pregnant. Sonic and Knuckles are excited, but Tails worries that he’s going to be replaced

Maddie brings home a pregnant cat to explain the miracle of life, but also assures Tails that he won’t get replaced and will get to help take care of his new baby brother or sister

Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails all get put in school to learn more about Earth and build social skills. Sonic and Knuckles are in high school while Tails is in elementary school. Sonic meets a girl named Elise there.

When Tom’s father comes to visit, the Wachowski’s learn more about him, that he was more than just a small town cop, but that he was a part of Project Shadow. Tom didn’t know that until the truth gets unraveled by Shadow as he confronts him with a gun in hand, causing Tom to pry the truth from his dad. His father apologizes for shooting Maria and had felt guilty about it for years

After getting Shadow on their side, Maddie and Maria both help him find himself. Shadow takes part in doing yoga with them, and Maddie is there to listen whenever he wants to talk or rant about how Gerald, Ivo, and GUN treated him. Before Tom’s father passes away, Shadow forgives him

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.

This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!

[migrainebehavior-deactivated202]

I think it’s also worth mentioning how disruptive this can be to the people who work in the service industry! If you come into a restaurant or cafe blaring your own music or talking on the phone, everyone can hear you and thinks you’re annoying. And a BIG personal pet peeve of mine is customers who are on their phone while I’m trying to take their order or ring them up. Like, it’s rude. If you’re sitting by yourself or whatever, just use earbuds or don’t do it at all. It’s distracting and honestly makes the environment super overstimulating, especially if you’re already trying to deal with the chaos of work.

Also worth mentioning that I’m SURE there are several people in public with sensory issues who get overstimulated by excess noise. There are honestly a plethora of reasons this is disrespectful.

[wonderbitchin]

as much as i also dislike people who do this

this isnt….specific to tiktoks? it also isnt recent?

people have been complaining about ppl playing youtube videos full volume for years, music has been an issue even longer. hell i remember when vine was around and people were complaining about this then!

when you grind an issue down to being just because of a singular app, you dont really address the issue which is not have respect for others in shared and public spaces. its just a way for u to just slap a preexisting issue as being entirely because of tiktok

[metalchick36]

I agree with the first poster, it reminds me of the time when we had the chirp phones. The original purpose of them was long range walkie-talkies that businesses could use. But instead…regular people used them to have conversations with their friends, and unlike phones where you only hear one side of the conversation, now you could hear both sides. Not only were the beeps annoying, but some people had the volume turned way up! Customers at McDonald’s would be using those damn phones in the lobby. I’m so relieved that those phones didn’t last, but unfortunately it’s because the latest things replaced it. Now at my new job, there are kids doing tik-tok videos every day, even in the restrooms!

Head canons for Sonic 3, part 2

These will be more about Shadow the Hedgehog and his companion Maria. They may not happen in the movie at all, but wish they did.

Back in the 70s, Maria and Shadow dabbled into the supernatural to cure her condition. They tried out spells and rituals from wicca to voodoo.

In the current time, Shadow tries to use the ouija board to contact Maria, thinking she is dead.

Being at death’s doorstep made Maria get into horror movies, often sympathizing with the monsters. Shadow also gets into them and does the same as he sees himself in their place.

Dr Robotnik learns that his grandfather had left him his inheritance, lab works, research, and discoveries. But the catch was that he had to continue the search for a cure for his cousin Maria, whom he he didn’t care about due to being the favorite grandchild.

Maria is older than Ivo, having been a teenager when he was a child. Her being frozen and having had transfusions from Shadow has preserved her youth.

In the modern time and after joining Sonics side, Shadow gets into the hard heavy metal music such as death and black metal, from Venom to Behemoth. Shadow excitedly introduces Maria to it after getting her back.

Dr Robotnik had found the cure for Maria, but kept withholding it to keep control of Shadow. But once Shadow learned the truth, he quickly turned on him and held Stone at gunpoint until he gave it to her. Robotnik gives in and hands it over.

At the end, GUN has Robotnik and Stone arrested and taken into their custody and Maria is given her grandfather’s assets and continues his researches. But another agent that is Robotnik’s mole helps them both escape.

Robotnik and Stone make their way to Planet Mobius, which sets up the next movies and where more characters such as Rouge are introduced.

Head canons for Sonic the Hedgehog 3:

Tom’s dog was probably named after Ozzy Osbourne, which would make him a fan of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, KISS, Metallica and Megadeth. Maddie didn’t like his music when they first started dating and he slowly stopped listening to it, until Sonic, Tails and Knuckles finds his CD collection in the attic.

Dr Robotnik survived the fall, but broke a lot of bones. Stone finds him first, but needs help to mend him, so he kidnaps a young fresh out of med school nurse and makes her help. Due to his healing process of being immobile, Robotnik ended up gaining weight and is unhappy with how he looks.

Before awakening, Shadow has a flashback to the day that Maria got shot when trying to hide him from soldiers who broke into her grandfather’s lab. He whispers her name and his eyes flash red with vengeance.

Maria had survived her gunshot wound and was treated for it. But a cure for NIDS couldn’t be found then, so she volunteers to be frozen until they find one.

Stone had also gotten to Shadow first. He also found out that Maria is alive and her frozen body is in custody of GUN, but manipulates Shadow into believing that she has been killed and to avenge her.

After hearing Shadow screaming about Maria, Sonic and Tom asks Randall for help in finding out who she is. But he doesn’t have the security clearance and they are immediately alerted to Walters.

Walters refuses to tell them about her, until he is confronted by Rachael, who is the only person he fears the most

[metalchick36]

Seeing the Sonic movies has re-sparked my interest in it, or I should really say that it’s increased it tenfold. I never owned the game, but I did play it on other friends consoles. I also watched the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog at the time we still had Saturday morning cartoons. Now I’m going to try and get a Nintendo switch so I can have my own games to play. I’m also enjoying all the fanart of Sonic and even the #Stobotnik ship. Next post will be my own head canons of the next movie.

[razzal]

I can see Knuckles criticizing the show the same way my brother-in-law does when my nephew watches it. Sonic is probably like “Again? You’ve already seen this episode!”

you arrive at the ball with bruce dickinson

 slow dance music is playing 

bruce: would you like to dance

you: yes please

bruce: leads you to the dance floor like a gentleman

bruce:

[metalchick36]

More to add to the story...

You thought that he was going to lead you into another ballroom dance. But all your life, you had been trained to do each style of ballroom dancing.

However, you were not prepared for what Bruce did next. He jumped around and brought out the tambourine that you just now noticed that he had in his hand.

You were a bit taken aback, but since Bruce pulled you in, you joined him in jumping around.

The guests, including your rich parents were horrified. “Who is this man? Why is acting so barbaric?” they asked.

But you were having so much fun since these galas have always been boring.

So, when I was doing my thesis on whether or not fanfiction should be considered a legitimate genre of literature, my advising professor asked me for examples.  I gave him the generic ones, of course - “Pride & Prejudice and Zombies” is a horror fanfic of “Pride & Prejudice”, “50 Shades of Grey” is an erotica fic of “Twilight" - and that seemed to make him understand what fanfiction is, but not how it’s useful.  So I thought about it, and, after about a minute, I said, “Paradise Lost is basically a fanfiction of the Book of Genesis.  And The Divine Comedy is an epic self-insertion fic for Catholic doctrine.  So, basically, you were teaching us fanfiction last semester.”  I had never before seen a grown man’s eyes widen with such fear, incomprehension, disgust, awe, and understanding.

If you really want to drop that guy down the rabbit hole, ask him which Arthurian legend is canon and which are the AUs.

[kittydesade]

Which are canon, which are the AUs, which are the canon reboots, which are the AUs of which canon. 

[metalchick36]

A lot of things could be considered fan fictions. Take for example Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare was inspired by the poem by Arthur Brooke called The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Iuliet, written in 1562. Then from there, we get stories similar to it such as West Side Story, and in Huckleberry Finn a couple of young star crossed lovers from the Hatfield’s & McCoys who love each other.
