FAQ:
What is this? Tamers12345 is an artist with a single burning passion: the revival of the hit TV series Sonic Underground. Empowered by his love of SU and Bardonic (Bartleby x Sonic), Tamers has been working tirelessly for over a decade to raise the popularity of SU and force Sega to continue the show. Tamers' continuation of SU takes the form of animations released fortnightly that follow the cast's ongoing adventures. Tamers' continuation has been described as a mix between Always Sunny (where everyone's an asshole yet still likeable) and The Venture Bros (with its surprisingly deep lore and a running theme of the present not living up to the expectations of the past).
Is Tamers being ironic? No. Tamers has been making videos since 2010, and has hundreds of hand-drawn SU comics dating back to the early 00s.
Are the fans ironic? Also no. While most of us started watching it out of morbid curiosity, we came to love the characters and their struggles. The lore of SU is also surprisingly deep, with some plot points developing slowly over several years.
Okay, but how do I get into it? Just watch a few of his recent longer videos to see if it's something you're into. This playlist is a bit outdated, but has all of the main episodes up until 2021: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0U9kJDLvLDwDJ66rmlSyaqYsB8MPxCH0
Why is everyone talking about My Little Pony? In May 2024, Tamers released Sonic Underground X My Little Pony: Bardonic is Magic, which introduced the SU cast to the world of MLP. Since then, MLP has been spun into its own independent side series that's revitalized the MLP fandom and drawn in a large viewership. SU isn't going anywhere though, as Tamers has stated multiple times that he intends to continue both series.
So who is Tamers really? A small number of people seem to fixate on just who the guy inside the cardboard Bartleby costume is. The answer is he's just a guy that really likes Sonic Underground. Unrelatedly, it is interesting that no one has never seen Tamers and Black Butler mangaka Yana Toboso in the same place at the same time 🤔
>>8933 Same, I need my dysfunctional bickering idiots ;_; Still, it looks like we're getting something special for SU once the season final of MLP comes out Sleengo Sleengo, please domingo!
>>8926 Sonic The Hedgehog & The Extraordinary Yard Sale Adventure! Does anybody know the music track that plays at 9:09 when Bobby Moonbeam enters? It sounds like it might be from Stellaris but I don’t know, I haven’t played it in a long time. I wonder what a Mobian empire would look like in Stellaris?
I’ve noticed Aleena and Manic both share a signature bared teeth expression. It’s super cute to see inherited traits between Aleena and the hedgehoglets

>>9141 It sounds like Stellaris to me, but I wasn't able to work out which track. I tried to remove the voices and sound effects from the audio but wasn't able to get Shazam to id the track >I wonder what a Mobian empire would look like in Stellaris? I'd love to see Bartleby using his money to buy increasingly larger superstructures >>9152 Sonic and Sonia have done it at least once (when they were groping Aleena's butt), but it's mostly a Manic and Aleena thing since they're the more visibly horny of the Hedgehogs. It really is cute though!
>>9159 I went through some tracks, might be Robotics and Beyond from Synthetic Dawn ost? Robotics And Beyond
>I'd love to see Bartleby using his money to buy increasingly larger superstructures Bartlebuns builds a Dyson sphere and makes every electric company on Earth go bankrupt
https://x.com/TheTamers12345/status/1839722985588175267 New Tamerskino dropping 5pm, and even better, it's taking place in a bowling alley! 4chan thread (fair warning: it's moderately schizo, due to mariotehplumber-anon): https://boards.4chan.org/mlp/thread/41459285 https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41459285 >>9177 I think that's it! >Bartlebuns builds a Dyson sphere and makes every electric company on Earth go bankrupt lmao, you just know it'd be solid gold and fancy af
So there won't be a massive finale as we expected because Tamers thought it was 'a huge mess' when he put it all together. We'll be getting separate episodes that will tie-off the current storylines on their own, he didn't comment if Sonic Underground would continue in October like last time so we'll just have to see.
>>9360 I’m eager for more Sonic Underground, but I respect how dedicated he is to his work. He always goes the extra mile, admirable work ethic (I know he’s white not ethic)
I recently watched Sonia Gets Suspended and it's kinda hard for me to put into words just how much it impacted me. I was a Tamers fan before, but now I legitimately consider him to be among my favourite artists. It's insane to me how profound of an affect this silly MS Paint Sonic cartoon has had on me, and just how attached I've become to these characters.
Also Flora is genuinely one of my favourite characters in fiction. I relate to her in more ways than I'd like to admit.
>>9370 >I relate to her in more ways than I'd like to admit Damn I’m sorry man In any case though I’m glad you’re enjoying his work. That’s a pretty good episode, I’m not usually into school settings but Tamers does it pretty well. I wonder if he’ll do any Disney channel original movies again soon? The High School Musical episode is underrated in my opinion. I guess he’s already technically crossovered with Spy Kids. I think Sonic Underground Camp Rock could be a lot of fun
>>9360 I think separate episodes will work out better. These stories always shine their brightest when there's breathing room to focus on the little slice of life moments and we wouldn't have time to see that unless the runtime was several hours. The amount of juggling that'd be necessary to integrate all the loose ends would probably be an absolute nightmare too. Speaking of loose ends, here's the ones I can think of: >Soarin and Scootaloo becoming alicorns >Brae/BM/Soarin love triangle >Twilight/Trixie/Celestia love/abuse triangle >Luna's resentment of Celestia >Shining/Candace/Chrysalis/BlueBlood love/abuse quadrangle >Celestia manipulating others into destroying Cloudsdale and Manehattan >Rainbowdash/Pinkie >Rarity's debt issues >>9362 Same. I'd rather wait a bit longer for more SU if it means season 1 of mlp gets the ending it deserves >>9370 Yeah, that episode was absolutely visceral, especially the way Flora almost revels in others' hatred and disgust of her. She's such a fascinating character, at once tragic, innocent, and duplicitous. I never know what to make of her >>9373 >I wonder if he’ll do any Disney channel original movies again soon? Oh man, The Luck of the Irish would translate into absolute Tamerskino
>>9381 They're both great, but Southern Dingo is absolutely iconic. TTS Sleet objectively works better than Season 1 Sleet's voice though. He just sounds too much like a generic henchman, which doesn't jell when he's playing the straight (lol) man to Dingo's outlandish behavior
>>9399 I think Sleet’s supposed to be a Russki. I definitely wouldn’t mind him having a cute Slavic accent. I agree though his original voice acting is too exaggerated.
>>9400 Slavic Sleet would be hella cute! Dingo is just so handsome, I'm honestly a little jealous of Sleet >>9417 Now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense. Dude was so good at playing the villain
>>9421 Now that’s what I’m talking about, Slav Wolf x Texan/Aussie Dingo. For the time being, one more handsome Dingo pic His mohawk and body hair get me hot and bothered
>>9433 You just know Dingo's constantly shaking soda cans so Sleet gets a face-full, and that Sleet secretly likes it and who wouldn't! I'm honestly so jealous of Sleet
>>9438 I really want to see if anything happens between him and Robotnik >>9442 Sleet calls Dingo Dink-face and Dingo calls him "my friend," which is seriously cute >>9443 It's a surprisingly versatile word in the tamersverse
>>9507 Nothing’s quite like Sleet dropping his tough guy act and smiling for Dingo. >It's a surprisingly versatile word in the tamersverse Knux and Mark mean business with their “bitch,” Bartleby’s “bitch” is posh, Dingo’s bitch has a lot of SASS
>>9514 The song playing even says, "you are mine and I know that I am yours" when that pic scrolls into view Sonic Underground Ending - Magic Spell The ED, for those who haven't seen it.

>>9699 Looks like it's the yuribros' turn this time around, also an October 11th release date. I know Tamers said that he had to split up the episodes because he was displeased with the final product, which makes me wonder if he'll alter the upload schedule to either delay the MLP finale to November to make way for the SU Halloween special or if he'll commit to finishing MLP first and delaying the SU project. Maybe he'll do a double feature in the span of two weeks? At the end of the day it's his show and he can schedule it however he wants, it's not like I'm a mind reader or anything.
Tried posting this on /co/ but discussion has been dead on their since the MLP videos started gettin posted, so I'm dropping it here. Something I've noticed since Mindy House Sits for Bartleby and Loses Everything is how Flora is much more comfortable with using magic. Teleporting away after her fight with Mindy, incrementally mind-controlling Sonia, and possibly manipulating time itself if the theory about her interfering in Sonic and Knuckles' fight with the Russian kid is true. All of this spawned from her coming to the realization that she doesn't have to force herself to connect with people who clearly want nothing to do with her and in-turn doesn't feel the need to continue pleasing them. A chain that tethered her to the earth has been broken, but there are some that remain. Her faith in God and the Church is a strong one, when Sonia asked her if she could raise the dead she immediately refused citing it was 'witchcraft' (this is despite her crush on Sonia becoming more apparent). Not only that but during her squabble with Mindy she said she wouldn't live with them because she didn't want the church to discover her association with two Godless whores. What happens when that chain breaks? What happens when the church finds out about her partaking in magic? What if they find out about her feelings for Sonia?
>>9708 Now that you mention it, I think Flora’s cognitive dissonance has been getting more severe. I wonder if it’s a case of standard hypocrisy. Definitely possible, but there’s probably more to it than that. It could she delved into religion out of guilt for her magic powers or homosexuality, or both. I’ve seen it in real life time and time again, people that suddenly convert and fixate that hard on it are usually compensating for something.
>>9709 The sad part for me is that I believe that you can be a good Christian even if you don't go to church. "The church" is within yourself so long as your love for God is eternal. I remember my Security Guard instructor was a devout Christian and told me that he doesn't go to church since he realized it was a scam and unnecessary when your belief in God and repentance for your sins comes through prayer and following his word. I hope Flora realizes that, I don't want her to lose her faith in God but she needs to recognize that various institutions, especially the Catholic Church, utilize his teachings for their own personal gain. >t. agnostic
>>9708 From these character tropes and the obsession with homoeroticism, it's clear to me that Tamers12345 was likely raised religious (Protestant), later weakened in his beliefs, and embraced his homosexuality through fictosexuality.
