Eggman Is An Anthropomorphic Human. He's Human Squared.

I've had this thought for a while but only just realized I have a tumblr now so I can actually get that thought to reach ppl who'll share my level of madness.

So Sonic yeah? Pretty much the entire main cast are all anthropomorphic animals, excluding Eggman and his family tree. Across adaptations of Sonic, there's not a lot of consistency on what the general population outside of Sonic and the Gang are composed of. In shows like Boom, Prime, and the IDW comics, it's almost entirely animals, and Eggman's the odd one out:

clipping of Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) Issue #14. Two skunk characters, "Rough" and "Tumble" enter a room with Dr. Eggman using a computer. Speech bubble contents: Rough: "Eggman! We're tired of waiting!" Eggman: "...Ah, yes. You're still here."

But in other versions, where there are humans, Eggman still sticks out like a sore thumb:

screenshot of Sonic Adventure 2. Eggman, projected on a large screen, addresses a city of humans below. All of the humans are naturally proportioned, while Eggman is cartoonishly proportioned.

It's also worth noting that in some Sonic games, there are regular, non-anthropomorphic animals in addition to anthropomorphic versions

Sonic and Big standing next to a regular alligator they caught while fishing

(Yes, Vector is a crocodile not an alligator, but they're close enough taxonomically to be significant. You can't convince me that the difference between alligators and crocodiles in this universe is that one swims in freshwater and the other has bills to pay)

So here's my theory: there's cartoonish, anthropomorphic versions and realistic, non-anthropomorphic versions of the animals, right? So why wouldn't this extend to humans? After all, they're mammals just like hedgehogs and foxes are. AND THAT'S WHAT EGGMAN IS. He's an anthropomorphic animal like Sonic, it just happens to be that the animal he's based on is a human.

Eggman is an anthropomorphic human. He's human squared.

Thank you

Okay, I wonder does anyone have headcanons for Quantic Kids' families?

Here is what I have so far:

- Felix's mom died pretty early and he doesn't remember her much

- Bri's dad died more recently and she has uncle who kinda stepped in to help (+ extended family in China)

- I like the idea of Claude having younger siblings (in canonverse he could be Mylene's brother :)

- Allan... Maybe a middle child? It would be nice for him to have an older brother

- And I enjoy the idea of Chloe and Allegra being related (maybe as cousins)

- Oh, also Claude's mom broke up with her first husband and remarried and that's why he doesn't know his dad is Mime until he starts getting powers

Btw if I say things like “by god” or “good lord” in posts please be aware I don’t mean it in a catholic way I mean it in a 1950s scientist reacting in horror after they create an evil creature in the lab set in the distant future year of 2005

Random Quantic Kid Canon

Claude has a one-sided crush on Bridgette

Allegra and Félix are childhood friends

Allan and Bridgette are on the track team, but Bridgette has to quit because of “issues.”

Allan has a small side job as a DJ

Allan can breakdance

Allegra as a one-sided crush on Claude

Quantic squads would have movie night once a month. Mostly host by Bridgette

Movie night is mostly Disney and a few horror movies

Claude never NEVER stop talking

No one, I mean no one says no to Bridgette’s dessert NO ONE

Allegra sense of humor is having no sense of humor

Félix love Dad jokes (but won’t tell anyone)

Allegra and Bridgette weren’t friends in the beginning

No one can escape Claude and Allan’s pranks, NO ONE!

Sugar freak to least sugar freak Félix > Allegra > Bridgette > Allan > Claude

Felix may love his coffee bitter, but he only likes his coffee bitter because he eats a lot of sugary pastries

Chef to should never be in the kitchen Bridgette > Claude > Allan > Allegra > Felix

A character with the mentality, if I’m not dead I’m fine. They hold out under torture, go through extreme conditions like starvation and dehydration, and don’t shrink back from danger. Every time they feel themself getting scared they rebuke themself, sneering contemptuously at the fact that they would even think to act frail when they know better. Getting hurt is never a problem for them. It can’t ever be a problem for them because they have to.

Even if they do start to sniffle a little when they’re alone out in the cold, rocking while cradling a broken bone, knowing no one is coming to help them.
