First Throwback Thursday of the thread! Sorry for nothing over the last few weeks (laziness and lack of interest is a bitch) but I'm back to give /sssr/ it's weekly fix of old internet sonic fan stuff! to make up for lost time, here's a small dump of stuff from an old fansite about Manic! Throwback Thursday #15: "Manic Panic" (2001-2003-ish)
>>22117 Here's an (archived) version of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20040702081002fw_/http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/manicpanic/Manic_Panic.html
Oh my fucking God dude, Tamers is making a Dandy's World video this weekend.
I was in that hyperfixation hell for the past 2 years, that's where I was all this time. Can't wait for you all to see the Potential Game(TM) and the several twinks and waifus I obsessed over (granted they look... much better and shapely in fanart).
Eggman has lost all of his allies. Except for one. The Master Emerald and the villainous voice whispering nefarious nothings in his ear. A final showdown in space is about to begin. Between the super couple and the nightmare-inducing Death Egg!
https://www.deviantart.com/lummh/art/Olympus-Heroes-and-Blaze-the-Cat-funding-1253024590 >Hello there, >As voted here and on Patreon, it seems to you the best approach for funding is to reset it with each new chapter and offer new ways to support. To address that last point, I’ve also created a Ko-fi, hoping it’ll help diversify our income sources.
>So, we’re back to needing €600 per month to move forward with the next chapter of Olympus Heroes. While we still have some leftover resources from the previous goal, it’s not enough to complete the next chapter. And as mentioned before, we simply can’t do it for free — even if we could continue for a while, the comic realistically wouldn’t reach its proper end.
>You’ll also notice we added a Blaze the Cat comic to the goals (the very same you voted for months ago)! The idea is to retell the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA (1996) story, but set in Blaze’s dimension — basically introducing Metal Blaze. Miitara and I have always been huge Blaze fans and would LOVE to make this comic happen, and Miitara would be okay to add one page per month for what would be a 20 pages comic! It’s not our main priority right now, of course, but we added it to the goal as an extra motivation.
>In the meantime, I’ll keep releasing Ask Star Fox and Bad Guys content, along with concept art from the Odysseus chapter as planned.
>You can donate on PATREON and now also on KO-FI
>Once again, thank you all so much for your continued support!
This is gonna be real petty and just a irrational rant but whenever I see comments immediately jumping to say how Sonic and Rouge's flirty rival interaction is platonic I find that mind numbingly bueno, like obviously nothing will come of it but I genuinely find this weird current obsession with everything be all platonical kind of boring even in a innuendo charged back and forth.
>>22136 I feel you, it reads as people overcorrecting in fear of being seen as a "buenoworthy shipper" most of the time.
A lot of fandoms nowadays are filled with newgens that absolutely loathe standard fandom stuff like shipping or AUs and they are very vocal about it. Shipping wars in the past used to be people arguing which ship was better, nowadays it's people dogpiling shippers for daring to interpret interactions as romantic.
>>22140 This bird guy has been the first IDW OC design I've liked besides Mimic, also yeah do love the Sin City rain as someone who's watched the 2 films frequently.
>>22137 Yeah essentially with Sonic, no pairings will be canon ever anytime so I just see it as like what you like and if you don't like a ship then you can as long as you aren't a dick to people who do like it that aren't acting like dicks themselves. Cause to be blunt people will read any potential dynamic and interaction as a possible romance plus people will have nonsense pairs they like just cause of designs looking well together/interesting hypothetical dynamics. So enjoy Sonic X Zeena or Mimic X Whisper or Storm X Tekno and just take what can can for fun fanwork ideas and discussion really.
If the Konductor's not here by 8pm EST I've got some backup comics we can storytime >>22144 >with Sonic, no pairings will be canon Except for Sonknux amirite!?

>>22148 Saved by the bell! It's probably for the best since the lewd Sonknux comic I was going to post only has a few more pages before it'll be finished
>>22148 Yoooo I've missed you dude, you always are a ton of fun in these threads. Heads up my Mordred shilling and fixation is now a Zeena one instead.
>>22217 It's a really nice comic, but at 64 pages and counting you'll be getting multiple slutty sonic storytimes! >>22111 >Knowing SEGA it's probably the writers enduring the sisyphean struggle that is convincing the business suits that Shadow doesn't need to be a friendless tarpit of an individual. Shadow's Iizuka's favorite (and I suspect also his self-insert) so it'll always be more difficult to write for him if you don't gel with how he sees him. I think Ian and Evan want to write him closer to his Archie counterpart, and while I really like that interpretation, Sega definitely doesn't. Some of the other writers (e.g., the racing tie-in comic, Shadow manga, those tie-in animations for Sonadow generations) are able to portray him as a non-grump and friend-haver. My guess is that communication between the IDW writers and Sega is just absolutely terrible, so Evan and Ian are left playing guessing games as to how Sega actually wants him portrayed >>22114 She's definitely got pleb taste when it comes to Sonic VAs! >>22117 I remember this site! Tamers was not happy when it went down >>22122 Well I hope it was everything you hoped for! >granted they look... much better and shapely in fanart Well at least with Tamers you're guaranteed shapely figures! >>22124 >is that eggmany hands >eggmany hands >many hands Oh boy, is the artstyle about to take an absolute nosedive! >>22126 lmao, that's what I was thinking! >>22136 I like to think of them as good friends that are sometimes FWB, but I can see why people would ship them. They're basically genderswapped versions of each other >>22139 It's nice to see Vector being a bro and rescuing Sonic from the pink menace >>22143 I'm hoping we get a better look at the OC. The Sin City artstyle is nice, but it's pretty difficult to make out details >>22218 Hey hey! I've missed chatting too, but have been pretty busy lately. Still, I'm hoping to post more frequently now >Heads up my Mordred shilling and fixation is now a Zeena one instead. Well they are both green!
>>22219 Yeah it shifted from me indulging my villain on heroine enjoyment to my villainess on hero enjoyment. Also I dunno, I just think she has a great design plus like Mordred there's enough personality for me to enjoy but also enough gaps to flesh out or think ideas for.
Also yeah Vector is being the greatest as usual, fucking love that character so much. Also yeah hard to make out the old Skeksis but I just think he has that balance of being an interesting animal while having a design that isn't to busy but not to lacking of details.
With my Sonouge leanings I see it as either a friend's with benefits deal or something like a Spider-Man and Black Cat but more playful with less baggage from each other.
>>22221 I have no idea about the lore of Dandy's World, but I certainly enjoyed Tamers' take on it! >>22220 The asymmetric hair and horn are pretty cool, and she's also the only Zeti Sonic actually has a conversation with. >Skeksis lmao! Fingers crossed the artist posts the design sheet >Sonouge Yeah, they've definitely got a bit of a Spider-Man and Black Cat thing going on, which is a fun dynamic. It's also nice to see them compete over Knuckles while still remaining friendly
>>22222 Shit's basically got no story. Honestly if I could I would post an entire 100 page essay on this fucking shit ass game. I love it and hate it simultaneously.
The "lore" of the game is just crumbs that don't really add up and just serve as bait for GameTheory rip-off channels. Characters are all bland as fuck too. It's in that space where you essentially have absolute freedom with however you interpret the story and the characters because whatever you make is automatically more well-thought out and elaborate than anything in canon.
Just play dolls with these characters and remember to always draw Rodger's voluptuous ass cheeks in full detail.
>>22222 Sonic and Zeena have some fun dialogue since she insults him but also clearly wants to get dat dick but doesn't let it get in the way of her villainy work while he has fun humbling her. Also yeah I love Zeena's hairstyle so much, also yeah the lips really get me going on her design also. Honestly I'll be genuinely stumped when I eventually do my own spin on her design for a comm since I don't even know what I'd tweak or change for her unlike Zazz or Zavok where I already have rough redesign ideas.
Speaking of Skeksis, age of resistance was such a great fucking show. Does a perfect job fleshing out every skek while having them all superbly voiced by incredible actors. I do wish Sonic would have more birds as I've countlessly said in countless threads.
I have an idea for Zeena. She should be one of the few to make Rouge actually mad. Rouge gets under people's skin for her amusement, but I think Zeena could just that much of a bitch to infuriate her to get one over her.
>>22226 Honestly that'd be a fun dynamic since they both have self interested motivations and luxury in mind but Zeena enjoys having it at the expense and suffering of others since she's still a sadistic Zeti while Rouge despite her selfishness does still have a heroic streak and standards. Plus it'd admittedly be a lot of fun to have them say really catty mean girl comments to one another plus he a good showcase of Rouge's better traits contrasted to Zeena's immorality.
>>22124 I might be the only person in the world who connects these two things together but this Death Egg look with the hands just reminded of Mike Kroon. I'm so deep in the autism spiral, guys, help me.
https://x.com/soniccitynet/status/1979478147352396139 >Takashi Iizuka on the possibility of future Brazilian Portuguese dubs:
>“We see Sonic’s current voices as something very personal to both young and old fans, so we’re thinking very carefully about who to choose for new voices — but we can’t promise anything yet.”
>>22251 >Love Zeena >Despise Harley Quinn I'd say her dressed as Poison Ivy or Shego would've suited better personally but still well drawn and the Zazz expression is funny
Thanks to that little bit of resistance from Dimitri to slow down Enerjak, Chaos Locke is ready to save his son! Receiving power directly from the Master Emerald is not recommended but desperate times call for desperate measures.
>>22255 >>22253 Yeah, it's almost unnerving to see a Locke that actually does shit and protects his son. It's like when you watch those Christmas specials where Santa's nice after he was such a dick in the Rankin/Bass Rudolph special.
>>22263 Girls with Big Tits >Rouge >Bunnie >Lien-Da >Lanolin >Gala-Ne Girls with Fat Asses >Zeena >Wave >Sally >Madonna >Alica Girls with a little bit of Both >Amy >Sara >Honey >Breezie >Whisper >Topaz >Iron Queen
Tangentially related but I'm so glad that SEGA did away with those arbitrary ages for the characters. Like 90% of the cast has read as at least a young adult for years.
I could buy Sonic being 15 in Adventure maybe, but in Frontiers? Motherfucker sounds like he's working on a master's or a phd.
>>22270 Yeah some people still think the ages are canon.
I get the hesitation to some degree, but I really wish people weren't weird about it. It's not like it's hard to tell which characters are still minors and thus off-limits to some degree (Cream, Charmy, etc).
>>22271 Honestly it was very odd cause the 2 other artist I'm commissioning Zeena getting defeat sex from Sonic had no questions or hangups on. I think this specific artist just has a hard rule of only 18 confirmed characters, was kinda tempted to try and Better Call Saul my way through using examples of 2 times Sonic was like 30 and 40 in Archie but honestly artist is nice enough and it probably would've come off weird anyway. Anycase may comm them some Professor Victoria, my ocs, and the sexy version of the Duck in the ending of Chicken Little in future.
So I've always heard the franchise should be like a fighting manga from people. I was thinking does Sonic do fights well at all? There is fights, but I'm not sure how well they are compared to other stuff. Anyone who does indulge in fighting media like to share what they think about this?
>>22322 >I was thinking does Sonic do fights well at all? The fights aren't really the focus of the Sonic franchise, particularly the comics. The only real notable fight scenes from the comics are probably Knuckles vs. Thrash in preboot Archie and Knuckles vs. Shadow in the postboot.
