I'm happy to announce the start of Femininomenon, a collaborative fanzine focused on the Sonic franchise's female characters! These characters are often made one dimensional and pushed to the side by both canon and fandom, and this zine aims to combat that by giving them the spotlight.
This will be a collaborative project created over the course of several months. It will likely feature art and writing primarily, but any sort of content that people are interested in making will be more than welcome, be that cosplay, animation, recipes, music— this zine will be open to it all!
Follow this blog to stay updated, and in the meantime, check out our Carrd for more information!
Love the fact that my (few) moots are really kind/cool people!

If you choose to go with the idea that Sonic's counterpart is also King Arthur (the hedgehog, not illusion), then you could also draw up reasons for why he isn't the king in the game.
Mordred was prophesied to kill Arthur, so (as a baby), Mordred was sent on a ship that was supposed to be destroyed, killing everyone aboard it. However, Mordred survived and eventually made his way to Camelot, becoming a knight and usurping Arthur's throne temporarily.
For a parallel, perhaps the illusion Arthur's fate was to be killed by Arthur the hedgehog (and rightful king). In an attempt to escape his fate, he asked for all the hedgehog children to be sent on a boat that was supposed to crash, killing everyone on board, but Arthur ended up surviving, and once Sonic left, took the throne.
If there’s one thing I love in SatBK, it’s that DESPITE being crowned as King Arthur, he actually fills 2 roles (Arthur and Mordred).
Him filling Arthur’s role is PRETTY self explanatory. He’s crowned king at the end of the game, pulled the sword from the stone, leads the knights and kingdom, etc. But Mordred’s role is something ENTIRELY different.
First, Mordred and Sonic both doomed Camelot in different ways: Mordred with usurping Arthur and taking his throne, Sonic with giving the scabbard to Merlina resulted in the kingdom almost being destroyed. Mordred disregarded the code of Chivalry (Sonic does this out of overall disinterest and his morals, Mordred has more lustful habits and unchivalrous behaviors, which Sonic DOES NOT have).
Then, we have the more obvious parallels between them. Mordred killed Arthur, and Sonic did the same with the illusionary Arthur. Mordred used Clarent to kill him, a sword that Arthur used in ceremonies, and BEFORE getting Caliburn, the sword Sonic uses for Misty Lake’s tutorial levels is, in fact, Clarent as well.
This is all REALLY circumstantial, and of course it’s not 100% accurate, I just thought it was a really cool thing to mention.
But I also really want to know what this would mean for Merlina’s dialogue now. After all: “Arthur is struck down by his son Mordred, and departs for Avalon”, but if Sonic fills the roles of BOTH Arthur and Mordred, then Camelot’s ending plays out much differently.

Headcanon: Team Dark's rooms are decorated to their own personal tastes/interests.
Shadow's room is dark, pretty sparse but not barren. On the walls there's star charts, and a few shelves cluttered with nick-knacks from his various missions. Books strewn about, ranging from fantasy to anatomy, to a pile of journals he writes in daily. On the ceiling, Rouge placed some glow in the dark stars, in patterns of his favorite constellations. His bed is pretty minimal as well, and the one thing on his nightstand is a framed picture of Maria and Gerald. Rouge's room is the opposite. The walls are deep pinks and purples, her bedspread is full of pillows and blankets, and jewels she's stolen decorate the walls. Rugs overlap on the floor, and her wardrobe is on a clothing rack, showcasing glitzy and glamours outfits. While Shadow's room is more minimal, Rouge's is the epitome opulence.
Omega's "room" is minimal. He simply enters, and just rests/recharges. There's only one thing on the wall, a picture of Eggman that he occasionally uses for target practice. Omega has little/no use for a bedroom, instead only using it as a place to go when he needs a recharge every so often.
You know... Shadow didn't know about Ring travel in the third movie (since he crashed on Earth in a meteor), so the first (and only) time he would've seen it was when the G.U.N. helicopter arrived in Tokyo, but it would've been unlikely (possibly due to him fighting soldiers at the time). Imagine if the first time he sees a Ring being used is in Sonic 4, and he just has NO IDEA why the portal opened, and Sonic just has to tell him "Yeah, it's safe, I do this all the time", with NO explanation for how the Rings work, or how he knows about them, leaving Shadow with the most confused expression on his face.
