i like your evil soulmates au
THANK YOUUU ❤️ I'm going crazy thinking about it
continuing on from that post. sonic who grew up alone and isolated on christmas island and not know What the red string was, only that it was important. sonic trying to figure out whats on the other end because he knows there's something on the other end he can feel it
eggman not caring about the red string (idk what happens when soulmates dont exist at the same time but eggman has always been aware that hes got a string/soulmate), dismissing it because its not beneficial for him, he doesnt need anyone and he doesnt want anyone and he doesnt want to share his life with anyone. treating someone as an equal?? someone being as important as HIMSELF? disgusting!!! absolutely not, DIE!!! he can feel someone on the other end of the string, but he ignores it no matter how much they tug, he has so much better things to do with his time
but then he does meet sonic and sonic is this little kid who is so naive and is so fascinated by him for so many reasons (this is what was on the end of the string this is someone new someone who isn't the flickies hes known his whole life this is someone whos going to help him get off this island). sonic is this little kid who is naturally talented with chaos energy. sonic is someone eggman can use. eggman has been given a perfect, surefire way to get sonic to trust him and follow him. maybe this soulmate thing isnt a waste of time, after all
and then shit HAPPENS and this post is getting long but listen im thinking about it. the timeline would pretty much be the same as it is in canon (gameverse) just with that added uhhh cant think of the word. conflict? tension? after christmas island and the events of sonic 1, it's the same but they're still Connected. no one knows but them. they both hate it but cant change it
