Hey! Sorry For Coming Here Again.

Hey! Sorry for coming here again.

I would just like to know what your Sonic franchise headcannons.

No worries!! and TYSM! , i'm not gonna lie: i've been waiting for someone to ask about my headcanons so i would have an excuse to write them somewhere...

Note: i know that maybe 2 or 3 of these might be considered canon by some people depending on the portrayal they're thinking of, but at least i believe all of these are just fanon interpretations of -or add-ons to- canon material (a few might even go against it ). Some of these I came up with myself and others are popular readings of the characters that i try to support by including them in my fanart.

Anyways,Here's the OG 4 plus Shadow! (long post ahead so good moment to remind you that english is not my first language;;)

Sonic

He/they!!

Knows sign language and prefers it over spoken words.

Speed junkie. But he also loves to stop and smell the flowers ofc.

He's simple minded and he likes it that way. Doesn't overthink things. Just does what he feels is right.

Terrible cook. Also messy Af. Don't let him near the kitchen.

Orphan, remembers his family fondly,but doesn’t dwell on the past.

Loves nature and will do anything it takes to protect it. Doesn't trust any tech that isn't Tails approved.

Knows how to play acoustic guitar and is a pretty decent singer.

Contrary to popular belief,he likes chill music more than energetic bops. However,he does have a love for different kinds of rock.

Literally doesn't know the end of any movie cuz he always leaves before they end due to his impatience.

Thinks of himself not just as Tail's friend but also as his adoptive brother.

incredibly resilient.

He is working on allowing himself to be openly affectionate and more vulnerable around his close ones but damn,feelings have hands.

Talks over Shadow all the time just to annoy him.

As much as he has always had a heart of gold and has never stopped fighting injustice nor helping those in need,it took him some effort to stop being inmature and to learn how to keep his ego in check. In the present,he is more humble and consciously appreciative of the people around him, especially because life forced him to grow up way too fast due to the fact he was saving lives and raising Tails while being a literal child.

Too good at concealing his pain and worries in stressful situations and too quick to sacrifice himself for those he loves. He feels like everyone is counting on him and won't admit it when it's way more than he can handle.

Aro! 🖤🩶🤍💚

Tails

Also knows sign language and prefers it. (Sonic taught him).

Was abandoned,doesn't remember his parents.

Actively prefers to be called Tails over Miles.

Still a child but he doesn't like to be infantilized.

Pretty good at cooking and very organized.

Nothing makes him feel more at ease than listening to Sonic play the guitar.

Doesn't like to be around too much people.

Overthinks a lot but being around Sonic helps him distract himself.

Big fan if different kinds of vehicles,planes and ships.

Can be real silent and sneaky if he wants. He has accidentally scared Sonic in the past because of this;;

His fave music genre is math rock. But tbh he enjoys all music.

Carries stimming toys around cuz he is always fidgeting (he makes them himself ✨)

His favorite way to use technology is to help disabled people/animals and he'd love to dedicate himself to making prosthetics fulltime someday!!

Showed Sonic that ,in the right hands, technology can help nature (Sonic didn't trust machines very much before as he would associate them with industrialization and Robotnik ).

After facing abandonment and discrimination for having two Tails as a baby,he struggled with his self-steem. Thankfully, Sonic and friends have helped him see his tails are wonderful and in the present he knows there's nothing wrong with his appearance 🖤

Knows he's a genius and is very humble when people bring it up,but will get a little vain when Sonic prompts him to by acting like he doesn't recognize his talents (he does this on purpose cuz he likes to see his bud show- off)

Knuckles

Loves meditation

He doesn't just have incredible hearing,but an incredible sense of smell as well.

He sees the chao of Angel island as siblings due to growing up surrounded by them.

Loves and deeply appreciates Sonic and Tails but would rather die than letting them know (they already know.)

Is even worse than Shadow when it comes to technology.

Due to living on his own at Angel island, he can cook fantastic meals using only the ingredients that grow around him,no kitchen needed. He keeps this a secret tho,as he knows Sonic sometimes shows up at his friends homes to ask for food and he doesn't want to cook for him lol.

Bad at social cues and managing his anger, but very wise when it comes to spirituality. He is also incredibly patient.

Has a great memory.

Even though he's proud to be the guardian of the Master Emerald,deep inside he does hold some resentment for his ancestors,as he knows he shouldn't be the one paying for their mistakes.

He likes when others lean on him and sleeping in big piles. This is because that's how he and the chao used to do it when he was a child.

If he feels safe enough to sleep with you around,you might as well take that as the biggest demostration of trust you'll ever get from him.

For practical reasons,he doesn't usually wear clothes, but he actually enjoys dressing up from time to time, This is partially Amy's fault,as she helped him see it as a way of self-expression.

He tries to find out as much as he can about his ancestor's culture because he considers it an important part of his identity and doesn't want to let their traditions become lost to time.

Even though Sonic met Amy way earlier,It was him who grew closer to her first. Now she's the one that's most likely to get invited to Angel Island so they can have training sessions and do weight lifting together. (Tho Sonic is definitely the one who shows up uninvited the most,thinking that he can make it up to him by bringing him grapes...which actually works)

After Tails introduced him to music,Hip Hop became his favorite genre. However,He stills prefers the natural sounds of his home over any kind of music.

Amy Rose

She's my childhood favorite. This is not a headcanon this is just a fact.

Bi romantic ! 💙💜💗

Also an orphan. After her parents died she was taken care of by Big and later educated by Vanilla.

Impulsive and clumsy. Breaks things easily AND regularly. Laughs at herself when she trips tho.

She is learning sign language with Tails!!!

Due to forming a sister-like bond with Cream and spending so much time at her house from a very young age,she has come to see Vanilla as a mother figure.

Prefers Weapon-based combat but after training with Knux she has gotten pretty good at using her fists too.

Together with Shadow,they are the only hedgehogs to properly take care of their quills.

Her favorite music genres are Pop punk and alternative rock! She has a terrible singing voice but she doesn't care cuz she sings for fun :)!!

She has grown to be one of the most emotionally intelligent characters and a great listener, which is why most of her friends go to her first when they need help dealing with that kind of stuff or just someone to hear them.

Has the coolest collection of tarot decks to ever exist.

Nothing escapes her intuition.

The other reason she believes in destiny and fortune telling sm -besides these being related to when she met Sonic- is cause she seems to be able to sense what's coming and has had premonitory dreams before. However,she doesn't mention it much cuz she really doesn't know how to explain it properly.

If you ask her why is she the only hedgehog that can't turn super she'll answer that its because ✨she's always super ✨

Of the OG 4,she's the one who has changed the most. As she went from being an unexperienced child who dreamt of adventure and didn't know she had it in her to be a great leader to the fearless icon of strenght and determination that she is now 👏

Next ones are focused on her relationship with Sonic cuz i think it's an essential factor of her character development:

Struggled a lot with her identity and with letting go of idealizations, especially when it came to Sonic. She didn't realize it at first but her childish obsession with him came from her wish to be him,something that she projected on her "crush" for a long time.

At some point while growing up,it dawned on her that Sonic was uncomfortable with how she treated him and had to learn to respect his space and boundaries, as well as stop putting him on a pedestal. After she found herself and they truly started to know eachother,he finally felt comfortable enough to truly become her friend.

As a romantic,It also took her time to understand that Sonic's desinterest in romantic relationships didn't mean that he didn't love her in his own way (it especially confused her after they grew close and he started being more openly affectionate towards her). But with time,she accepted the fact that he will never be a boyfriend and,while a little dissapointed at first,she has come to fully suport him on his aromanticism and to see it as another aspect she can appreciate about him. Plus,she feels fullfilled just by being able to spend time with him and share their mutual affection,each in their own way.

HOWEVER she still makes jokes about how she's gonna marry him and stuff,just for old time's sake. Sonic replies with sassy comebacks ofc and they have fun annoying eachother.

While she always knew he cared for her, she doesn't know that even back when she mostly made Sonic feel uncomfortable ,he always saw strenght in her and admired her determination.

Shadow

Young but has an old soul. He's mentally in the 50's.

Loves looking at the night sky and is interested in astronomy because the thought of the emptiness of space makes him feel at peace.

Everytime he talks to Sonic he will try to speak the slowest he can and use the longest sentences known to man just to annoy him.

Likes to read detective novels.

Actually cares about the way he looks.

Thanks to Maria's influence,he still listens to music from the 50s- 60s and collects vinyls and records. Jazzy tunes are his faves.

Appreciates Rouge and Omega,but he associates bonding with vulnerability ,so he doesn't ever act on those feelings.

The people around him think his emotional distance and cold behavior are ways to protect his ego,they're trauma responses.

Doesn't understand Amy one bit but ever since they shared that one moment at the end of SA2 he can't help but care for her and doesn't mind hanging out with her.

Used to be a completely different person back at the space colony ARK. He was shy due to being the only mobian there and also very innocent due to his lack of knowledge about the world,which at that time was completely new to him. Ofc,he can't remember what that used to feel like or what thoughts were in his head.

Maria considered herself his big sister and while Shadow never called her that,he did see her as such.

Since most of his memories have been manipulated by Gerald,these are protagonized by his present self instead of the person he used to be. In other words,when he """remembers""" these , he feel more like he's being transported to this fake past and experimenting these moments as the person he is now rather than going back to the body and mind of the person he actually was when he lived at the ARK.

However,in rare ocassions,some songs,words or sensations might trigger real,non-manipulated memories, and the reason he can tell these are different from the rest is because he actually feels like he's the younger version of himself and remembers what he was thinking and feeling at the time.

Anyways,there you go! Again,these are all just the headcanons that i keep in mind when portraying these characters in fanart. I completely respect anyone who disagrees with these and i love to see other fanon takes on them.

thanks for the ask!

A song you forgot.

small comic of the Ark siblings and a sequel to that drawing i made of them listening to music.

It says it in the first page but still: song is Sweet happy life,specifically Peggy Lee's version from 1966. It has absolutely nothing to do with SA2 but i feel like its the kind of song that Maria would have liked at the time: https://open.spotify.com/track/4QJ1F5dFjDTnoHgew9cdRr?si=fwqd_aYGQtqoVvGtECtFGw
