imma be honest i started writing this last night and started getting sleepy, then started today and wasn't feeling super great, SO ITS SMALL AND KINDA LAME

i still gotta do some canon review but i kinda felt like writing him again and my brain keeps screaming at me for a second here pfft

and now i go and eat

HELLO

Sonic about to have FEELINGS and be embarrassed because oh no, he's been using FAMILY WORDS

BRO... U.U

WHO NEEDS TO GET BROKEN

👀

Sonic: To so many people Yeah, Knuckles is my big brother, he's the best except any time he wants to teach me how to fight properly

Sonic: Seeing KNuckles in Ellipsa WHERE NOW HIS FONDNESS CAN BE HELD AGAINST HIM Oh fuck, oh no, oh fuck, I DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THIS

Stupid boy who can barely use dad to Tom's face-

sonic just speed hugging knuckles who saw him like maybe ten mins ago...............there will be much that needs to be explained to him LMFJOETRT

YES

PROBABLY

Sonic over here just like

ITS BEEN SO LONG

Its been like half the time he's KNOWN Knuckles and like a third of knowing Tom and Maddie and the separation anxiety REAL

honestly that has to be absolutely horrible for the poor boy u.u

It really has

(And the boy told absolutely no one because he's dumb)

SONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its ok now they can be dumb together

They can be so dumb

Boy hasn't gotten a proper night's sleep until last week when Silver became his roommate because what is ASKING to share a room so his separation anxiety will shut up

Can't do that!!!!

Ozzy has helped a bit

He has Ozzy (and also the Master Emerald)

OZZY!!!!!!!!!!!

omg the master emerald.......

He's been taking care of it! Only two other people even know its around u_u

Ozzy being a good boy and Sonic just sitting on godmode

he will be glad to know that it's at least being watched over but also very confused. but what else is new!!

Sometimes arrival is just a Whole Thing

Keandow just like "the red one e_e" "Shadow he has a name." "..... red one"

even with things explained he's just ???????????? and he was already ???????? before he got here. things need to stop changing and happening!!!!!!

FLMERJOT

they can both refer to each other by anything but their names

ewajewaiojrwa

Sonic just shaking his head

THINGS CHANGING ALL THE TIME

IS A WHOLE LOT

ITS THE OTHER HEDGEHOG THAT IS HIS NAME

Jeiwishdhheb

"Stronger hedgehog" and "red one"

ewajewaijeow

Sonic: There's like eight hedgehogs, Knuckles

Sonic: ....no wait, ten

Sonic: And over half are me and Shadow

knuckles will name them accordingly!!!!

jaeijawowe

Amazing

he's going to confuse himself

at some point

or immediately

both

At least the Shadow's are fairly distinct

Its the Amy's and Sonic's that get Difficult

(At least Sonic is Fluffy, so he stands out)

Also blue arms

knuckles is going to take being the only knuckles as a sign that he is too powerful to be replicated nods nods

esrjoiraedw

Sonic gonna have to drag him to see Julie Su

FOUND ANOTHER ECHIDNA

Thankfully this one did not try to ruin his life either, so things are going great!

LREJT THE BAR. that's the bar. did not try to ruin his life

Its a very important bar!

also seeing another echidna will break his brain for a minute

HOW

WHERE

WHO

Sonic: WELL, her people have been apparently chunked into the void, so there is apparently a whole thing about THAT

SHES PINK. so you know she's a girl

But yeah at least movie sonic is distinct. SATAM is pretty distinct too in being smol and having only one row of quills

INTO THE VOID.......SCREAMS.

also satam sonic will be called tiny sonic kmreotji

Call him sharky....

sharky rjeithru

(Also hi I just showed up without introducing myself, I'm Fish I play Shadow Wick)

HELLO i am cole and i already play thane krios but cant resist shoving the aggressive red ball in here too

Sonic is being the Most Normal, sorry Knuckles

POOR KIDDO

when even knuckles just like oh ok this looks like one of those things in which punching isn't the solution..........which means he has no idea how to react............he's trying

him just oh you're upset EXPLAIN YOURSELF THEN. das him trying lol

Knuckles is doing his best and we love him for it

we do

At least Sonic understands The Struggle

also god movie knuckles has such a distinct way of speaking which is both delightful but also sometimes trips me up LMFAO

IT IS SUCH A STRUGGLE

He just needs to kick his 'fake until he makes it' impulse into running

HE REALLY DOES

damn right in the feels

also i ended up throwing in my app so knuckles officially goes here now LOL

\o/

Sonic will be delighted and also having a crisis because on one hand, deep emotions, on other hand, THE EMBARRASSING THINGS HE'S DONE

LMFAJO this poor boy is just really going through it

He is full of many feelings at any and all times and he covers it up by pretending he's cool

and then there's knuckles who covers them up with rage and posturing and also just flat out brooding when he cant even do that lol

They're so great at dealing with their feelings

amused at myself when picking my ac tl icons playing two characters who are Like This

(Sonic at least does it alone, may need to provoke Knuckles-)

they are!!! so good at it!!!

jeriott

knuckles gonna hear people being here from months to years like EXCUSE??? honestly good thing sonic is here cause he's. he's himself. lol

He is doing his best

he's gonna have to have it drilled into him that he can't just bust them outta here and go home LMAO

Sonic figures. He is ready! He can do it while Clinging

Need to work through feels

Sonic also has rings. And had them not work

working through feels while trying to stop his big brother from breaking things

It's fine! He has winter powers! He can repair mist things

Most things

He followed his pattern of property damage so figured it was best

Time to ride on his shoulders and Give Warnings

that's actually funny how that works out LMFKE following behind knuckles just fixing shit

Listen!!!! It does actually come up a lot, he was right to learn it first

SMART MOVE

rinku: oh you're sonic's brother!!!!!!
knuckles: i am???? yeah i guess i am actually BY THE WAY IM THE STRONGER ONE

Sonic over here mentally screaming

OH NO, HIS FONDNESS HAS BEEN EXPOSED

also evangeline hit on him and he really just does not get it lfmrejt

LOL SORRY SONIC BUSTED

(Definitely didn't start using family words because he was feeling homesick and he felt closer if he used them, and its not like they could reject his feelings if they're not here to hear it-)

I LOVE IT

ewajoeiwjaew

look knuckles already calls them his tribe its fine

aw sonic....

Sonic: Evangeline, PLEASE DON'T SLEEP WITH MY BROTHER Misheard

BUT WHAT IF ITS DIFFERENT

(Sonic knows its not a rational though, TELL THAT TO HIS SEPARATION ANXIETY)

(I mean, you guys do what you want, Sonic would just throw himself into the lake maybe)

knuckles over here just head empty lol

Knuckles valid

he would think sleeping with is literally sleeping and hitting on is like literally hitting LMFAO

ewjaeiowjre

Sonic: ....I mean, you can fight Eva if you want, she's got some moves.

As soon as she finds out this is This Sonic’s Knuckles she’s going to mentally reclass to “too young do not flirt with”

jaejwiew

Eva is a bro

She has some standards at least

Not many, but some

Love how the movie cast is still in the same age range, the Vibes are just Like This

the vibes really are just like that LMFAO

Baby vibes

Hiii, I'm the SatAM Sonic you all were talking about lmao

Sharky

And the wiki has SatAM at 3'4" - one inch taller than IDW Sonic

So he's not exactly tiny?

HELLO!!

slightly taller sonic. bless

oh and also, he has beady black eyes is another difference

no green eyes for this one

knuckles is going to squint intensely at all the hedgehogs while he tries to remember these differences lol

supposedly we're getting an Archie!Sonic, player hasn't app'ed them yet

good luck Knuckles

LOL

there's going to be

so many nicknames

they wont be clever in the least. the nicknames are literally just identifying traits lol

Knuckles keeps it simple

Sonic just staring at the sky like....am I gonna watch my brother try to start all the fights with my crush now....is this the price of my figuring out my feelings

LMFAO

look.....he's so soo unsure but he'll listen......because he said it before part of their pact is trusting each other!!! even if he doesn't agree with him. but he's still just

Sonic: This is what I get for not actually talking about my complicated emotions of why it hit so deep-

KNuckles is valid

knuckles just trying to sort through all this complicated shit

Sonic over here KNOWING it all sounds weird!!!!

ITS ALL REAL COMPLICATED

Truly its just Sonic's tendency to disappear with his villains and then whoops, somehow he charms them?

SURELY KNUCKLES UNDERSTANDS THAT

(Though Knuckles took mutual life saving)

(Shadow just needed a bit of grief counseling)

he has the benefit of being in the position of trying to fucking kill sonic and then now BROTHERS so he kinda does. he'll be annoyed as soon as he realizes that lol his trust in sonic is doing the heavy lifting though. him literally the I GUESS guy

at the end of the day sonic knows more about this stuff and his ass got tricked by an evil scientist LOL

love the tradition of knuckles getting manipulated by robotnik continuing

ejwaioewer

Knuckles doesn't know how to have the trust issues Sonic does

(Thanks GUN. You have reinforced his trust issues Are Correct)

bless this mess

Sonic has an excellent trust radar, figures out when people are just Complex And Are A Lot For Some People

Versus will absolutely sell him out for a cornchip

knuckles deferring to sonic's trust radar even if sometimes he wants to argue with it lol

Sonic appreciates

Sometimes its cool to go full trust and other times, gotta just circle around and play politics (Thanks....GUN.....)

THANKS GUN

someone pointing out that when knuckles grabs sonic and tails to go through the ring at the end of 3 he flips so that he takes the brunt of the fall

big bro to end all big bros

BIG BRO TAKING THE BRUNT

Boy protecting them so much
