It introduced me to a real part of the world I'd only payed a small amount of attention to

Not any more. Been nearly two years but yesterday I welled up after finding old insurance and vaccinations paperwork

When are you using it otherwise?

Ha, most Nettle fanbabies are someone else's creation. I can't force anyone to want to procreate with Briar

We can change, we can grow. It may not always seem like it but you only need to look at humour that used to be normal that is now unacceptable

Probably parenthood. Family, or lack thereof. Finding salvation in giving life in place of one you lost

Either Katy Perry or Blink, can't remember which was last. Gigs have got so expensive now but I am seeing a small band later this year

If it's art I stumble upon scrolling, it's usually something with striking colours or a very unique style. Something with punch or flow/movement. Or the macarbe folk art usually catches my eye.

With people I specifically follow, if I can comment I usually like it, even if I don't actually comment. I mean if it stirs a thought or an idea.

Fandoms? I'm still a sucker for my favourite ships.

I did a pick n mix of what I like. For example, Amy is a royal still....but I don't allude to Sonic having a robot Father. I started my au before IDW took over, but that's probably my greatest influence now with a sprinkle of Archie thrown in.

Anything about my OCs that really gets me thinking. Helps me learn something new about my own characters

I think they need to stop relying on Acme

It wouldn't because they're mostly fankids. Usually I just create new characters for whatever fandom I get in to

Perhaps that Sonic lore never seems to be absolute. There are core events that happened but even they can be twisted and moulded to suit the current status. Shadows origin for example, Maria is a certainty but Black Arms...maybe? Sonic, the protagonist, has even less history. It's an ever changing world, and it's probably why people love to make AUs for it. You have a baseline to work from and...like Sonic....you can run wild with it. Aliens, magic, time travel, mystical ruins, human interaction, end of the world, ancient Kingdoms. It's all there

Buy an island. A few houses for the family, couple of guest places that'll be very exclusive

I'll always have a special place in my heart for my S'Nes
