If One Cannot Tell, Dadvid Is My Life.

My dad told me yesterday that his birthday present to me hadn't arrived yet.

Well it arrived today and-

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

Woah, wait- they did WHAT?!

For real?! That's odd! Are they changing things, planning on changing things, or is something else entirely going on?

I think I smell either a conspiracy or a change to the lore! Not sure which would be better...then again, Sonic does sound older...I thought it was because he finally hit puberty, but maybe they've aged him up? He'd still be too young for this stuff even if they made him 20 tbh...

Gah! I don't know! What's even happening anymore?!

Hey, has it ever clicked for anyone that Sonic is literally a child? I know some people usually go "teenagers aren't kids, they're basicly younger grown-ups!" But like, that's absolutly not true? Teenagers ARE kids! They're older, they're on the road of BECOMING adults, but they AREN'T!

The point being, I can't even IMAGINE what kind of messed up trauma riddled mind Sonic has at this point. Just- the childhood trauma I've had has been enough to eff me up real bad, imagine what all the stuff SONIC has been through has done to him!

And I know; I know that Japan has a thing with idolizing children that behave maturely and/or takes on a bunch of responsibility, but still! He's been 15 years old for, what, 20 years? And he's been through hell and back and fought several gods and always been the one to stand strong and never give up! Imagine the mental and emotional toll!

As a kid I always thought "wow! Sonic is so cool and mature!" And now as a 21 year old I just get an intense parental need to just- get him therapy and protect him from the world. It's kinda scary how many emotions and instincts media can trigger, actually!

And I know that it'd be pointless to protect him from a lore standpoint; he's more powerful than some human nobody ever would be, but I just-

He's 15 YEARS OLD you guys!

A kid!

And that realisation hit me like a freight train a couple of months ago, and it re-hit me after playing Sonic Frontiers!

What do you call a Transformer that's looking particularly good?

Alpha FLYon.

I drew a silly little picture for fun...

...aaaand filled the entire rest of the page with text that's just me rambeling about what story I could tell and other vaugly related stuff.

Oops.

What do you call a cute door that can do things?

A-door-able.

While I'm still on my computer, here's another Transformers thing I drew! And it's Bumblebee again! And the context is a headcanon I've never once spoken about! And yes: it IS that Team Fortress 2 sniper meme! What of it? It works for that headcanon I've never once spoken about! AND it was fun!

I HAD HALF A DECILITER OF COFFEEE AND I AM FULL OF PRODUCTIVITY AND COULD FIGHT GOD

My mom let me draw spiderwebbs on her!

"It's not a crime if you don't actually do it"

-The brilliant sentence that popped up in my head when I was trying to write some dialogue.

From an old sketch that I didn’t do anything with, to this! It’s not perfect...but, hey! It’s a thing! And I spent a lot of time on it! And it’s DONE!

I’m very happy about that!

Oh, and here’s what happened when I played around with brushes:

I thought it looked like cardboard, so I saved it as a copy.
