I drew this last night…haven’t used IBSPaintX in a while so I thought why not..

[zumbieve]

I just thought of a sonic.exe au and I’m loving it sm. i called it ‘Faker au’

Just to be clear the sonic.exe in the au is called ‘Xeno’ -sonic himself called him that and he rolled with it- and he isn’t like your regular Sonic.exe.

He doesn’t remember anything about himself except that his name was ‘sonic’ at some point…

He doesn’t act like an .Exe and not like a sonic (at least not that much but he definitely doesn’t act like an .exe).

He gets vague nightmares about his old self which confuses him scares him at the same time.

Ironically, he loves helping Tails if the kit needed anything, and hangs out with him alot.

When he first saw Eggman, he hated him..for some reason, and he didn’t know why he despises the doctor.

Like, the doctor is smart af and Xeno respects that, but he can’t shake the feeling he has to hate him.

His universe (where he comes from) is destroyed and he doesn’t remember anything about it.

I might make a Fic or drawings/comic about it but I’m not sure, but that’s it For Now

hello, i was wondering if you had more of your faker AU you'd be willing to share?

HI. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID.

In my head, this AU's story is like 300k words long but I'm incapable of all that so here's some little storybeats and worldbuilding I suppose ...

Hit that read more bc this thang got LONG

So...I got the idea for this AU because I wanted to explore a character I hadn't explored much of yet, with the intent of Shadow and Sonic being forced in each others shoes. Shadow is confronted with a mirror of his trust issues, and how he still struggles to let himself REALLY enjoy the world he and Maria wanted to see so bad, Sonic has the discomforting catharsis of being truly unshackled from what the world expects of him. Sonic doesn't need to be a hero. He isn't one. He doesn't have any friends he needs to worry about.

We follow Shadow as he wakes up in an unfamiliar place. Shadow doesn't know it's the phantom ruby yet, but he knows something isn't right when he sees Maria in what should be Rouge's room. In fact, Rouge and Omega don't seem to exist at all. When asked about them, Shadow's "friends" shoot him confused glances and tilted heads. No, he's not a member of "Team Dark". He's best friends with Amy Rose and Knuckles the Echidna, and together they all help in the on-going fight against Maria's cousin Ivo Robotnik, their greatest enemy. When Shadow asks whatever happened to Sonic and his high-flying companion, Amy's brow furrows and she gives him a sour look. Why are we talking about that blue, hot-heated jerk right now?

Sonic wakes up from a recurring dream about the same facility that he feels he was born in. His cramped, tight living quarters as familiar to him as the metal bands adorning his wrist and ankles. This is how it's always been. It's all he knows. All he remembers. He, his pal Tails, and other young orphaned mobians with "interesting quirks" were taken by G.U.N., Sonic's super speed and reaction to chaos energy being the focus of research. He was tested on, subjected to WAY too much chaos energy (dark sonic.. smiles), and he's constantly monitored in a room that's too small for him. Sonic, Tails, and a few more of the kids tried to escape, which ended in Sonic being the only one captured alive. This is Sonic's strongest memory. It burns in his mind like an afterimage that won't go away. Sonic is no one's friend and no one's ally, he couldn't keep any if he cared to try, not after what it took from him, when he had only one thing that was truly precious. He's quick to anger, and quicker to act before thinking. If typical, usual Sonic is someone who never displays negative emotions, this Sonic is incapable of keeping them IN. Sonic would run through anyone in his way, literally, if the metal bands on his wrist didn't prevent him from doing so, anyhow.

It should be mentioned that Shadow believes that everyone in this phantom-ruby powered version of their world is just as fake and phony as the world itself. Shadow is no longer the naive person he was before. He knows nothing is right here. He plays along. He adopts his own awkward form of Sonic's quips that don't last very long. He commonly sports a big, toothy grin and softens his face. He plays Sonic's role and reaps the benefits of someone so free and self-confident. Someone who has loyal, affectionate friends. Someone who's beloved by the world. Someone who has a sibling-like best friend. It's not THAT easy for him to do it of course, but overtime, he does. If it makes it easier for Shadow to reach his goal, he will adapt. In my head, this story is...months long.

Shadow's friends, Maria especially, don't like when Sonic is brought up. When they're on missions that result in Sonic stepping in to take care of egghead, (sonic has a more vulgar word for him) they do everything to keep them both separate. The world doesn't want them talking to each other. The world doesn't want them both to know more than what's told to them. Sonic's earring is replaced by a device that causes a ringing sound that gives Sonic headaches when Shadow's around. Good. Sonic doesn't want to be around this dork anyway. Shadow takes this as NEEDING to persue Sonic, which he's not a fan of. He can hardly handle Sonic's Sonicisms as he is, and this firey, downright ridiculous imitation grinds on his nerves, too. But the more they get into squabbles, the more Shadow begins to question Sonic's fakeness at all. Maybe that's what he's missing. Maybe he's not the only one stuck here.
