Since jongler is just straight up a French word, it means that there's a "correct" way to say it.

Unfortunately it's said "jon-glee"

you know spelling it "jon" could still be pronounced different ways. because english "j" is different from french "j". writing things from other languages phonetically in english does Not Work and it makes conveying pronunciation very hard gnhnnh that being said. do you think jongler knows enough french to pronounce their name the not english way

Idol AU?! Who all is involved?

okay so me and @max-iwtaco have been brainrotting about it yesterday but we're trying to include as many characters as we can think of XD

THIS ASK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRAFTS FOR MONTHS NOW I THINK. ANYWAY

i wanted amy to be the main character bc like. look at her...

but okay so let me summarize what we talked about

-sonic and shadow both debuted when they were very young under competing labels. sonic does a lot of solo singing and rapping stuff, plays guitar, and dances (he specialized in breakdancing which is poggers), meanwhile shadow sings (he can do screamo if he wants. as a treat) and dances (he specializes more in interpretive type dance). theyve always been rivals, releasing albums around the same time and fighting for all the awards and stuff. and dont get me started on idol sports champio ships-

-so amy's dream has been to be an idol, and she took a lot of inspiration from sonic!! so she uses her tarot cards like in canon and it tells her to audition for the same label as sonic is under (tho im debating what to call it) and she does and makes it in!!!

-eggman runs a company. the one that team dark is under. team dark is a band with shadow on vocals and bass, rouge on vocals and electric guitar, and omega on drums. lets just say they have to buy new drums every performance.

-sonic also has a band with knuckles and tails, where he plays guitar, tails is on synthesizer, and knuckles is on drums.

-amy becomes a soloist but cream comes to all of her shows. she has special permission backstage to see her and be her emotional support. also they sometimes let cream on stage to sing a little song and the audience loves it. cream also has a kazoo

-knuckles's dad used to be the head of their company but knuckles inherited it. or something

-tails is a HUGE music theory nerd. he loves math rock

-amy dabbles in music composition (bc im projecting)

-tails and sonic knew each other since they were little and sonic would play guitar for him and tails started learning bc of him and then he got REALLY into music theory and became a big nerd. sonic cant actually read sheet music lmao

-sonic joined the company under the condition that tails joins with him and tails was so cute that they couldnt say no

-since knuckles takes care of the whole company now he doesn't actually perform concerts that often but when he does the audience goes WILD. you never know when youre gonna see knuckles. it's a gamble every time. on the times knuckles cant come play drums big will come to play instead

-big doesnt ever actually show upto practice bc hes too busy fishing. he just shows up and plays the concert and then he's gone again. froggy plays the cymbal

-froggy gets put on the concert posters and big doesnt bc big just shows up. froggy is the star of the show

-sonic raps while knuckles beatboxes. tails tries to rap and its adorable

-cream is the first to listen to amy's demos and comes to support her at the recording studio

-this quote from Max: "ALLSO she would give advice like "everything sounded VERY COOL but it would be even cooler if you added like DUMM DU DUMMM YDHVVJ TXFHVJJV at the end""

-blaze does classical music and plays the violin. silver does techno style stuff. they collab a lot and sound amazing together

-silver is super into composing and posts his stuff on bandcamp. he's not under any labels or anything

anyway. i love them

jongler translates to juggle

pluey (if spelling is corrected) translates to rain

and battat is probably a mix of "batte" which mean "bat" in a baseball way, and "battant" which means like "attack" or "beating" or "hitting"

someone smarter than me could make that baseball bat thing connect to dess

raise up your battat!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to write a fic is hard

Jongler and green pippins are having a very important serious personal discussion

And pluey is also there I guess, he's passed out

nfkgngn pluey can be taking a cat nap

Awful pet

I could totally make an essay about a transgender read of jekyll and hyde, but also no one ever wants me to write the essay about how jekyll and hyde have a trans-adjacent experience

but also I'm the orc can't read ulysses, and elf who misinterprets the very hungry caterpillar :[

you can interpret media however you want. if it means something specific to you then that's fine, even if it wasn't the author's intention!

One of my favorite characters just gives off this vibe

He hates himself, the characters in his group hate him, the characters not in his group hate him, the player is meant to think this guy sucks, the creators make fun of him, his existence is miserable

I want to treat him with kindness but at the same time I don't think I fully could, pathetic little creature.

Honestly I don't even think he does anything, he's just a pathetic whining sobbing and moaning buzz kill, he needs to stop talking, I think he needs to be held, I don't want to touch him

i am intrigued, who it this fella?

[mageofcolors]

it pisses me off that the legs on pippins aren't symmetrical

his shoes are wonky

also in their rummage sprite, their collar is messed up

also this one is a crop of their sneak sprite so it has white where their head is

that is wild
