If you’re a Sonic Lore Buff like I am, give THIS a read right now. It’s a very cool theory on the Lore from the Sonic Games. Your mind will be blown by the end of it.
SO the story here…did I just draw a 9 page comic just for sonic to hold shadow’s hand? yes bc shadow is that dramatic LOL there’s a lotta symbolism in this so lemme fill ya in-
–
-this is set sometime in the future
-sonic is still very much alive
-BUT there is still bit of rift between them & that’s kinda sonic’s doing instead of shadow’s
–
the snow in way represents shadow’s loneliness and how cold it can become out there when u are alone…rouge & omega are also still around BUT shadow…has been separating himself from them more and more
when sonic left again, it was beginning to get colder
the cave represents shadow’s heart. it’s hard to find and you gotta go deep to even find it (could even become a bit chilly when trying to find it) but sonic found it. it’s beautiful and warm inside. do u even know that urself shadow?
the pool represents the depth of shadow’s heart. there’s only a few stars in there, not many to show that despite what he may say or do, he still cherishes those he cares about. sonic included. (And ye it’s a bit of an SA2 ref too with it looking like space )
& yea shadow has feelings for sonic. has for a PRETTY long time but…it just hasn’t been acted on. they dance around each other constantly, & the difference between the sonic in his dreams & the sonic he knows in rl is that a secret part of him wants sonic to reach out to him further…but considering how sonic is when it comes these feelings, he hasn’t acted on them either. he remained flighty…despite having feelings for shadow too. (but shadow doesn’t know that. or perhaps not to a particular level)
So how well do humans and Mobians coexist in your AU?
Well enough. Why, so well that they've been polite enough to not pop up in Hangin Out yet, saving me the trouble of fully committing to how short or tall these mobians actually are relative to them (but I'll likely go with "a foot shorter on average" if I don't wanna get too extreme)
In all seriousness, I imagine mobians and humans actually get along decently? Answering this question demands a bit of lore though, and I'm very indecisive about it. Get ready for a ramble if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm split about whether or not Sticks was right about the world actually being many, just stitched together into a single planet. I feel that's more interesting and true to sonic than just "two" worlds, and it'd explain a lot.
I think mobians come from self-contained pocket zones, while humans live in the "ordinary" world all of the pocket zones are connected to. Think of earth as a big hub world, and "mobius" referring to a collective of weird, surreal levels like Green Hill. Star Posts allow for easy travel between mobius zones, but all paths usually lead to and from the base human world. Eventually more mobians gradually moved in to human settlements and vice-versa.
In my canon, mobians are like fae/fair-folk, and have an implied shared ancestry with chao. Humans on the other hand came into being the same way they did in real life, with no chaos energy or "magic" involved. In the games, mobians and humans are extremely similar culturally, so I assume either they had a kinda convergent evolution, or mobians adopted some convenient aspects of human culture like cities and Capitalism, while humans gathered advanced technology from them and learned to maybe chill the fuck out a bit.
See, mobians generally have it a little bit easier than humans overall. They have abilities that make travel easier, and roads being everywhere allows them to not rely on dense, packed colonies. Some mobian babies also sometimes just pop into existence, to explain why there seems to be a very high and seemingly random variety of diverse species all in one place. Mobians have a strong culture of just adopting a baby they come across, regardless of species, and it's why they seem to have a little less of a... Racism problem... Than humans. However, mobians aren't known to be as absurdly doting to other mobians, and are more like the animals they resemble in the sense that it's considered normal to just set your kid free at a young age to go off into the world. This isn't always a good thing, but it's generally why sonic characters often seem weirdly more independent than humans at their assumed age.
All of this together means mobians are slightly less inclined to completely conslidate into an entire clan or nation. I should mention though that folk like the echidna aren't an oddity, but they tend to arise when a particular enviornment is more difficult for other types of mobians to exist in, and through natural selection, one species makes it their home.
Humans meanwhile are... human. Their limitations encouraged them to make more dense clans and not travel out as much. Not having powers to rely on, they developed the same way we did, with all the extra suffering it entails.
So to finally answer your question, you can imagine there are some cultural differences, but they coexist decently. Humans have a certain air and stereotype to them of being crueler, biased, and pragmatic, while mobians have a stereotype of being silly whimsical hippie cartoon people. Neither of which is an objective truth, more just surface-level culture observations.
Humans are assumed to more likely be racist and organizing. Mobians are assumed to more likely be careless and in some ways ableist. It's a silly fucked up situation, but privileges, misconceptions, and stereotypes do that to people.
okay now buckle up we’re gonna talk about chaos energy and why the HECK the stc chaos emeralds are Like That. but first, we’ve gotta talk about fleetway super sonic, A.K.A: my son, and how he acts both when he’s using chaos energy, and when he’s not.
It’s kind of long so it’ll be under the cut and for those who don’t feel like reading nearly 500 words of chaos theory I’m providing a tl,dr below this line, but above the cut.
TL,DR: Super sonic in stc is evil bc kintobor upset the balance between positive and negative chaos energy. He’s good when powerless bc his mind is more in tune with positive energy at the moment.
Thank you for rambling about Sonic so much. The knowledge that Sonic is an Alien makes Adventure 2 infinitely more hilarious to me. Sonic and Shadow spend all this time arguing over which one of them is the "Fake Hedgehog", but they're both "Fake Hedgehogs". Sonic is an Alien that happens to look like a Hedgehog, Shadow is the Alien equivalent of a Homunculus.
Below the cut I will explain the nature of Chaos Energy, how it is used, what forms it has and how it affects the life forms on the planet.
TLDR;
Chaos Energy is made up of 2 energy opposites (hero/dark) which are blue and red respectively. super forms are pure (both energies combined) and golden.
“dark forms” are actually anti chaos, which is the uncontrolled usage of chaos to absorb any kind of energy to surpass 100%.
“hyper forms” are achieved by receiving approval from the master emerald and activating the super emeralds in order to surpass 100%.
chaos control can give one special powers, stop time, make time travel possible and allows teleportation of oneself or objects (for that u need to be very skilled and know the exact location of objects u wanna teleport)
