Sonic: Chaos Control

Sonic AU/Fancomic! Tries to update on Saturday!

[sonicchaoscontrol]

Pinned Post by the Blog Host:

Welcome to SCC! Below I’ve gathered some helpful navigation links to make running around a little easier.

This is mostly for mobile users - these links can also be found on the web browser page, but for convenience, here’s the sticky note at the tippy-top of the blog. This post is subject to change as more information is added!

[Story Mode] Follow the story chronologically, on the blog, for the sake of interacting with the posts and not loading an enormous album all at once. Only works on desktop versions of tumblr!

[CURRENT VERSION album link] Every page collected in one google drive album, for those that want to view with slightly better resolution outside of tumblr. Image/data heavy! If something isn’t up to date, let me know.

MISC:

[OLD VERSION (DEFUNCT) album link] If you’re looking for the 2017-2018 pages, here’s where you can find them all in order. This chunk of pages is no longer canon, but it can stay here for archival purposes.

[Mod’s Tumblr] In the event you need to get in touch with me directly, this is one way to do it if the subject isn’t directly about the comic. Occasionally posts WIPs/mild spoilers, you’ve been warned!

[Editor’s Tumblr] A lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff is hashed out with this cool bean over here - go check out their stuff, too!

[Discord!] Because we have one of those now! Custom emojis and all sorts of brainrot inside!

Cheers!

hi this is the at some random time check to see if you are alive and doing okay :]

are you alive? ☐

are you doing okay? ☐

please check each box that applies to you

*end of message beep*

I'll check that first box, but not the second, because oops, here come the scales of consequence. Or rather -

Hangin’ in there, but only barely!

Enter, stage left: My horrible habit of disappearing off the face of the planet when things are too much. Everyone has been so kind, and so patient, and as it turns out, I didn’t plan this surprise break, either. The personal details don’t belong on this page, given that I’m trying to keep non-comic posts to a minimum, but the TLDR is effectively ‘I am currently in a rather dire financial situation, and have no energy to spare on this side hobby’.

It’s irresponsible of me to let things go so long without updates, but at the same time, I am overbooked and Big Stressy, and I have to prioritize my current IRL situation if I want to be able to eat. Thank you, as always, and this check-in was definitely appreciated.

I will continue to do my best to stay afloat, and believe me, I’m just as frustrated as a lot of readers are! Bear with me as I fumble with that mythical thing called ‘being a responsible adult’.

[sonicchaoscontrol]

honestly, you're amazing. i don't know how you keep up with a comic like this, especially one with so much detail. you're freaking awesome and dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise; i love your creations and all that you do. take as much time as you want, even if you post once a month it's still phenomenal and your work is a blessing and privilege that i am so glad we can all enjoy :)

I'd been holding on to this ask for a while because it was so touching that I kind of just put it on the figurative fridge for a while. Genuinely, I appreciate it more than you know. Truth be told: I haven't been keeping up.

For right this minute, my real-life situation asks that I put more effort into finding a way to get financially stable than working on this side project, and I simply haven't had the energy to spare for it. In the name of transparency: Next page hasn't gone beyond 10% thumbnailed. Whoopee! It's a little embarrassing, but what can you do except keep pushing, right?

TLDR No update today, either, because I'm in scramble mode and the metaphorical gas tank has been empty for a while. I will keep trying, and I'll do what I can to keep communication up while I work on managing tasks. Take care of yourself this week!

[sonicchaoscontrol]

[No update today - I need a little more time, and thank you as always for bearing with me!]

[The TLDR is that my drawing arm is overbooked, and I am still working with a poor-ergonomics setup that's causing me pain if I overdo it. I have a lot to get done and not a ton of time to do it, so these pages have to get pushed to the bottom of the list on occasion.

This is one of those occasions, and I hope to have more time and energy to work on stuff over here once my art checklist is a bit more cleared. Much love, and I hope you're taking good care of yourselves this season!]

[sonicchaoscontrol]

YAY YOU'RE STILL UPDATING YAY!

I have no intention of stopping, in other words, even if the update schedule has been pushed to a two-week period for right this minute! To put a long story short, I've got some health issues that make it hard to stay at my desk & consistently work on stuff, & I don't quite have the means to fix those issues right this minute. So I'm pushin' through with what I've got, without putting myself into burnout! That's why it's taking a little bit, but everyone has been incredibly patient, & I'm always grateful for all the feedback I get in the meantime.

Thanks for sticking it out with me! 🧡

Gosh! I can't wait until we get our first real glimpse at Tails. Its going to be totally wild! I mean he'll be 25 years older than Canon. The suspense is killing me. How much will he have changed with age. Will he have blamed himself for Sonic's disappearance? How would that affect him and his personality? How would being "taken care of" by Shadow and Rouge of all people affect his personality? I'm just spit-balling here, don't feel the need to answer my questions if you don't want to.

(You're quite fine!) - Sorry for takin' so darn long to get the story out, for what it's worth! I can't hand out a bunch of spoilers, but I'll gladly offer some speculation. Tails is such a great character to slap a bunch of nuance onto, because he's so storied, and I'm looking forward to working with him :] I suppose the brief glimpse from pg29 below wasn't much in the way of clarification on how the guy's actually doing these days:

I mean, it's just a poster with no date on it. But I'm sure it's fine, really! >:D

--But yes, those are all things I'm looking forward to exploring. He's like a very orange and very fluffy chao - hang out with enough Dark Story Mode buddies, and surely something will happen, right...? 'Cause that's definitely how that works. Yup.

A (very) overdue meme for a earlier page in SCC! I had this in my drafts months ago and have finally got to finish it. Also yeah, listen to Shadow, I'm begging you.

[sonicchaoscontrol]

[Yeah.]

i think tumblr ate my ask (srry if it didnt) but i was wondering what would happen if Shadow "ran out of charge?"

Naptime. Naptime happens.

[sonicchaoscontrol]

Could sonic just run back to past? He did it before in sonic cd

Unserious answer:

Actual answer:

Because 1, that defeats the purpose of the exploration! If the problem is solved immediately, where's the story? And 2: CD is one of the games I have not played, but I've been informed that the time travel mechanic therein was isolated to Little Planet and the associated places. Something to do with Time Stones, which I'm not employing here. Just rings, Chaos Emeralds, and a little dose of reality destabilization. You know, normal things!

(Thank you!)

It may just be my tumblr (we all know how tumblr is :/) but the storymode link just leads me to nothing, just wanted to let you know

This is just tumblr being tumblr, unfortunately - the link works fine on all desktop browsers I've tested, but I have never, EVER been able to get that kind of thing to work on mobile, for the ten-and-some-change years i've been battling this website's spaghetti code. I'm sorry for the hassle! There's no good workaround other than external links (hence the gdrive, and the 'first/previous/next' links on posts).

(one day it'll behave, and other lies I tell myself.)

[No update today, but I wanted to know you're all deeply appreciated here!]

[The TLDR: This week was absolutely full of pain & health issues that are slowly getting sorted out, but it left me no juice to sit here & work on pages. For now I'll try to fill the time with the askbox, & things should be back on track next Saturday! 🧡]

[sonicchaoscontrol]

Obsessed with your colors and designs, they’re so gorgeous. Also I love Shadow’s robot eye turning to a !

Hey, thank you so much! That's really reassuring to hear 🧡 I'd been worrying a little bit about the cohesion of everything lately, so this is a pick-me-up like you wouldn't believe.

And that eye is a lot of fun to work with! I figure, hey, why have a screen if you can't use it to make some stupid looking faces! Here, I may as well put down some concept scribbles because I'm aiming for consistency -

Oh my gosh… Your last post just made me realize why shadow doesn’t use his original rocket shoes anymore. He doesn’t need them.

And I think I know who Rouge persuaded to help.

Haha! Obsoletion is a nasty beast, isn't it? Let's bring the shoes back from page 23:

... Yeah, it's safe to say it was time for an upgrade. Besides, why bother wearing rocket boots when you are the rocket? Regardless of whether or not the old things still fit. Something something modern problems, modern solutions

Rouge is pretty persuasive when she needs to be, yes. Someone has to make sure the job gets done right.
