Any fankid you’re interested in? Romantically or platonically?

“Well, platonically, I guess I would say I’m interested in furthering my familial bonds with my half siblings from other dimensions,” (Esme Starline - @mischeva / Synergy the Hybrid - @synergy-the-hybrid / Orion Starline - @totaleclipse573)

“And romantically? I’m not really sure if you would call these romantic interests, but…”

(this is gonna be kinda long, so everything else is going under the cut!)

“Skylar is really attractive, but I feel vaguely threatened by him for some reason,” @emuartworks

“Aria is cute and has a very pretty quill-style, and I know she has thoughts about me (although I have no idea what those thoughts are…)” @tails-perhour

“My first round opponent, Spark, seems very cool. He’s very mysterious and intriguing.” @itz-pandora

“Nettle Rose is absolutely gorgeous, and there’s no other way to put it. Strangely, I feel a little intimidated by her, but interested in getting to know her.” @galacticghoste

“Luci is someone who doesn’t fit in this list at all really other than just an interest in talking to her. I think she could use some advice…” @yourpalsalamander

How do you respond to the copying @head---ache style allegations

idk how exactly to give a short answer, so i’m just gonna yap ig. i must say that they are the reason i actually ever started drawing sonic as well as my main reference of figuring out how to draw sonic style characters, so that was definitely a huge influence on what my art looks like. my artist red flag is that when i really like an art style, i get in a laser-focus tunnel-vision type mindset, and learn to copy it down to every single detail that i can. this is something that I’ve done for yeeeeeears (autism+ocd hyperfixation behavior, i could elaborate on these diagnoses later).

so, as someone new to the sonic style and absolutely hooked on head---ache’s style, yeah i was totally copying it. i’m completely aware that it is problematic, so it is something i’ve actively been working on moving away from. i am still a huge fan of their work, but i am no longer in my tunnel-vision stage, so i don’t exclusively use their artwork as a reference (at this point in time i never use their art as a reference just because i am really trying to develop my own style).

so i guess the short answer is yeah i used to copy their style entirely, but not anymore. ig the resemblance is still very much there bc of a sort of ‘style blindness’ but yeah. i’m working on it.

also i’m gonna be honest, i don’t quite understand the context of this ask; are you saying there are allegations that i’m unaware of or is this ask the allegations? which isn’t actually relevant to the answer lmao

and one last note: i mentioned having autism+ocd behaviors, but i want to clarify that i am explaining myself, not excusing myself. there is a reason behind what i’ve done, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay!

anyway, @head---ache if you’re reading this i hope that you’re having a good day and haven’t been bothered by me.

About the spark/scoundrel kid

i’m glad that the kid has fans already 😭😭

i kinda like the idea of arson, however i don’t want to go with that bc of those tiktoks making fun of the 2020 cringe thing with the main person being called arson (if you don’t know what i’m talking about that’s okay lmao). the ideas that i was thinking of are kinda in the same vein of that tbh, so lmk if you like any of them bc i’ve kiiiiiinda done a full body design now

ideas:

combust/combustion

hellfire

plasma

phase

strike

outbreak

burst

inferno

+featuring doodles of maybe a sibling??? idk felt like i was running out of ideas so i just left it at this one (but you should totally make a sibling /nf)

Are there any fankids you love or want to ship your own with?

there are a LOT of fankids i love and i couldn’t list them all, so i think i’m just going to go with the second question. these are just the fankids that first came to mind off the top of my head that i would want to ship mine with (regardless of if they have canon love interests or not).

Sapphire the Hedgehog by @basilbunnycreachers

Esme Starline by @mischeva

Saiya the Hedgehog by @thesafireartist

honestly any fankid by @yourpalsalamander

Spectre the Chameleon or Prism the Cat by @funkyfandomlover (especially prism tho ooouuugghh)

[rapidminnow]

rift surrounds scoundrel in a ring of spectral flames and proceeds to sit and watch him try to figure his way out.

Scoundrel’s eyes widen in a brief moment of surprise. He then relaxes and raises up his left hand—the one with the gem.

“I appreciate a test, but aren’t there other ways we could get to know each other?”

A magenta glow radiates from his hand, and in an instant Scoundrel disappears and reappears, this time on the outside of the flames.

hehehehe evil gem appearance
