And On And On And On

A Sonic AU that's a rewrite of the entire series with a focus on Sonic's relationship with Eggman, and how that then impacts the rest of the story. Heavily based on mods' source memories. Speaking of: both mods are systems.

Time Goes On Masterpost

Summary

When Sonic Teo Holguin was young, he lost his parents in a fiery blaze, having to be raised by his Uncle instead. Growing up on tales of his father being a hero, he strives to be just like him, finally getting a taste of being one when he foiled Dr. Eggman’s plans alongside his friends! But, as time goes on, he finds out more and more about himself, his friends, his family, and even finding out more about his rival, who has a lot more…complexities then he first thought.

Also known as: two Sonic nerds (@eldritchtaur/@abyssal-ramblings and @forestdragon778/@forestdragonart ) do a full rewrite of the series, including what we like from Sonic canon, non-canon, and even fanon properties, and then try to make a workable story out of it.

CWs

Discussion of child abuse (including but not limited to physical and neglect), character death, lab experimentation, mental health issues, and cannibalism. In general, the intended audience is 16+. We also tend to draw a lot of eyestrain colors, usually in the form of highly contrasted colors.

god i have so many emotions about jet and nimbus but a lot of it is not allowing cycles of abuse continue, including allowing queer children (or, in this case, grandchild) to exist

they make me so ill....

also the two flags (other than the gay flag) behind nimbus is this lavender marriage flag and this closeted flag

[time-goes-on-au]

we made little headshots of Belle & her brother and our OC, Whistle! They were part of an acting troupe that they left because of being uncomfortable in the limelight (Belle) and because they wanted to make their own type of spotlight (Whistle)

Now Belle goes around helping people while Whistle performs at a magician all around the globe, using a different stage name at each theatre, but it always contains "The Great ___"

[time-goes-on-au]

we also started writing a multi-chapter fic that's a rewrite of Sonic Riders and currently nothing much is going on

also it IS going to be Sonjet focused so if that's what you're interested in: stick around

Uhh there's not many warnings for this one because it's mostly just rivallry based stuff, but there is going to be discussions of homophobia and religion so steer clear if those are triggering to you.

I had totally forgotten to post our one one-shot but go my scarab (OC-centric, familial angst Jet fic)

Aand tumblr isn't letting me embed it.

Whatever, might as well use this time to warn that it contains religious discussion as well as past child abuse (not of Jet, of the OC)

He used to be a performer in a circus before being elevated into godhood by Lord X! He is INCREDIBLY loyal, doing anything for Lord X without question.

the five major gods: Ignis (our replacement for Iblis), Mephiles, Solaris, Chaos, and Ixis! Each one has their own area and what species they are primarily over, with Ixis notably being the deity of the Zeti <3

so, the diamond cutters don't DIE in our AU, but mimic still "betrayed" them and now thinks very badly of himself, especially in regards to them. it's a whole thing but tldr; he thought he HAD killed them, and then gets mad that they never tried to get in contact with them if they knew what had happened that day

TELL ME ABOUT THE DEITIES AND STUFF IN THIS AU BECAUSE WE'VE CAUGHT HINTS AND STUFF ABOUT THEM BUT WE DONT KNOW ENOUGH AAAAAAAAAA (also I'm in LOVE with the system rep here, it's amazingggg <3)

YESS I AM SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS < loves talking about pantheon stuff

Okay so summarizing my notes (because they are a bit of a mess haha)

There is a distinct hierarchy within the deities/deity-touched entities: God-Touched (Priests, Prophets, ect.) > Demigods (Mortal/Deity hybrids) > Lesser Gods (Deities who only have one domain; the highest that a mortal can become) > Great Gods (Deities who have two domains) > Greater Gods (Deities who have three domains) > The Gaians (Deities who have four domains) > The Big Five (Deities who have five domains) > Fleetway (The Creator God, has seven domains)

Now, going from largest to smallest!

Fleetway is the deity who created the Morphian species as a whole and is the deity of Creation (Living Creatures), Life, Madness, Prophecy, Psionics, Retribution, and Sense of Self! A lot of his iconography involves spirals as well as the color combination of yellow and red.

Then there's The Big Five, which consists of Chaos, Ignis, Ixis, Mephiles, and Solaris.

Chaos is the deity who created the Chao and is heavily associated with echidnas and is the deity of the Sea, Fertility, Water, Watery death, and Patience. A lot of their iconography involves emeralds as well as the color combination of sky blues, pinks, and greens.

Ignis is the deity who is heavily associated with the Flamma Kingdom and tropical species and is the deity of Fire, Chaos, Earth, Earthquakes, and Passion. A lot of his iconography involves flames and fire as well as the color combination of red, orange, yellow, and green.

Ixis is the deity who created the Zeti and is associated with more "grotesque" species and is the deity of Death, Decay, Bones, Undeath, and Hope. A lot of his iconography is skulls and armor as well as the color combinations of dark purple and black.

Mephiles is the deity who is associated with the Lunar Kingdom and is the deity of War, the Moon, Destiny, Gluttony, and Shadow. His iconography includes moons while his colors are indigo, purple, red, and green.

And the finally, out of the Great Five, is Solaris, who is associated with Solaria and Soleanna as well as avian species and is the deity of the Sun, Sky, Gold, Peace, and Nobility. His iconography includes...well, suns, and his colors are yellow, orange, and white!

The Gaians are next and the final of the "major" gods, with there being six of them: Aether, Somneus, Tenebris, Mechan, Phantom, and Time Keeper!

Aether, also sometimes known as Light Gaia and nicknamed as "Chip" by a certain hedgehog, is associated with most mammals and is the deity of the The Harvest, Light, Healing, and Renewal! His iconography is usually beams of light and sunrises and his colors are white, teal, green, and dark pink!

Somneus, also sometimes known as Black Doom, is associated with Nightmaren and Phobaron, also known as Black Arms, and is the deity of The Unknown, Dream, Twilight, and Fear. His iconography is usually clouds and his colors are dark purple, dark pink, and red.

Tenebris, also sometimes known as Dark Gaia, is associated with nighttime creatures and is the deity of Livestock, Darkness, Love, and Envy. Its iconography is usually eyes and moonrises and its colors are dark purple, dark green, neon pink, and neon seafoam green.

Mechan is associated with robots and is the deity of Creation (Artificial Beings), Craft, Mechanisms, and Metal! His iconography is usually gears and his colors are silver and green.

Phantom, temporarily sealed into the Phantom Ruby, has no sort of inherent association but is a deity of Reality, Knowledge, Illusion (because tumblr's font can be ass: it's i-LL-usion) and Deception. Its iconography is reversed spirals and its colors are pinks and purple.

And the final of the Gaians and the "major" gods is Time Keeper, known in its rage form as Time Eater, is a deity associated with "unconventional" species and is the deity of...well, Time, as well as Temperance, Planning, and Order.

And now, we get into the large amount of gods who don't have solid iconography or associations, so they're going to be in larger clumps, but still in their own tiers.

In the Greater Gods, we have Dexe (Theatre, Arts, and Acting), Frogymandias (Travel, Fish[ing], and Trade), Kolossos (Corruption, Tyranny, and Souls), Illumina (Memory, Endurance, and Diplomacy), Lord X (Luck, Charm, and Fortune), Majin (Cycles, Greed, and Pride), Time Waster (Sloth, Stagnation, and Apathy), and Zip (Language, Trickery, and Inspiration)

In the Great Gods (GREAT GOD GROVE REF??? /silly [for real we HAVE been playing it so that genuinely might effect our Pantheon /hj]), we have ??? [We have not named this one but] (Teeth, Blindness), Argus (Protection, Guardianship), End (Apocalypse, Destruction), Feist (Physics, Entertainment), Lumina Flowlight (Humour, Swords), Prime (Obedience, Paradox), The Sailor (Alcohol, Sailing), Void (Hatred, Flowers), and Xenophanes (Eclipses, Glory).

And finally, in the Lesser Gods, we have Ages (Progress), Amo (Arcana), Ariem (Daydreams), Arte (Body), Aurora (Community), Bond (Relationships), Butcher (Hunt[ing]), Chaotic (Vengeful Death), Chimera (Torment), Count (Skill), Dell (Mind), Fatal (Mistakes), Hex (Repose), Ifrit (Fate), Maggot (Wrath), Null (Boundaries), Order (Law), Second Devourer (Balance), Siren (Direction), Sleight (Theft), Steed ([Competitive] Races), Swindle (Lies), and Tikal (Freedom).

While from Greater Gods and lower are up for changes, anything above is incredibly set in stone, with the most changes just being their names and possibly their domains!

If you want elaboration on any of the gods' relationships with each other, I am incredibly open to yap about it! Also if there are any of the deities who we have not drawn (or even we have drawn) and you want to see it, tell us so we can draw them! :)

PEAKKKKKKKKKKK PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK

I think I remember saying this in the AU collision server but I love how the major gods have domains that are balanced with both negative and positive domains, and that balance makes me SO HAPPY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I also love how you incorporated multiple pieces of media here because i'm seeing Canon Sonic guys, Sonic.exe stuff, OCs (???), and I think the word "Nightmaren" is in there somewhere and I THINK that's a Nights thing and I smiled when I saw that. ITS SO COOL ACTUALLYYYYYY I love the gods here ajhdjkfhaksdhfkjashdfkhj yayayyayayyaya its peak

[time-goes-on-au]

thanks!!

yeah we decided "you know what?? fuck it this is OUR au we get to make the rules" and so just merged a lot of Sonic, Sonic.exe, OCs, and even other SEGA properties together to the conglomerate you see here!! Nightmaren IS a NiGHTS thing, thanks for noticing!! ^w^
