(hushing naysayers) nono, they can still land this,
Recently been informed that you can "play" games instead of just writing them and buying them? Excited to explore this bold new space.
it's the three legendary doges- the pokemon entei, raikou, and suicune- from back before doge memes were co-opted by fascists.
loud, raucous applause
OH FUCK I DIDN'T EVEN -THINK- OF STC's SUPER! That's the one sonic media i've never really engaged with
I. WAS! REBORN!!! ♾️
for the first few years of owning a nintendo 64, the experience of "playing it" was watching my teenaged sister on the controller while I manned the manual for "tactical information" lmfao. I got very well acquainted with mario 64's renders in particular.
also VERY funny you bring up satam considering what blog draft i'm supposed to be working on
(knowing smile :) )
Sonic SatAM and to a lesser extent Sonic Underground let themselves get PRETTY DARK for a kids' show, that's true!
I generally try to not hold them to sega though, they were made in a very different era of liscencing.
don't even need the sonic shell to get that across
now i'm thinking what a sonic story that tried to incorporate an X-like figure would look like, with sonic emulating freedom and choice and his opponent emulating control and domination... but that's just what Good Eggman Writing looks like. Like that's the dynamic of Archie Eggman at his finest.
there's precedent! They've referenced tails doll before! As long as they don't cross any lines of no return, they'll willingly play along with us on this nonsense.
the only mario exe i like is mx in mario 85, which uses mario the video game as a medium for the horror as opposed to like, adding the horror into the mario setting if that makes sense.
exe content the riffs off mario doesn't work for me, probably because of how mario generally -cannot- carry that kind of story. There's horror in mario deep lore, to be sure, but idk.
It's late but idc peak Mario-posting hours. #art #fanart
idw did a full on zombie survival arc once, like the edges have to be sanded down a bit for marketing reasons, but sonic is fully capable of carrying these kinds of stories.
and even in exe content that -isn't- interested in contrasting the horror to the standad sonic story fare, using a recognizable friendly face to tell a story of corruption and danger is just very easy to pull off. A cartoon that's slightly too uncanny valley is a very solid foundation for horror.
the only line being crossed is the blood and gore and whatnot; but that's just the internet being baby edgelord about it
maybe the reason I like the idea of sonic.exe comes from canon sonic's history with having copycat characters that emulate or challenge sonic's ideals. like, a horrific eldritch monster wearing a hedgehog skin is like. Mephiles. that's just Mephiles. Shadow, Metal, Surge.
Still can’t believe this is my most popular work on the other site lmao
