Sonic Prime - Blog Posts
The other 'dimensions' didn't exist until Sonic shattered the prism and refracted "light" to create the illusion of other dimensions. The alternate versions of his friends were more like concepts than static, everpresent beings with a past of their own.
You can think of them as though they're the light refracted off of and distorted from the images of his friends.
Sonic, being the one to break the prism, was not exposed to this refraction in the same way as he was at the epicenter and therefor no light made any illusions based off of him. He did however become a paradoxical fallacy and existed in a sort of… Schrödinger's Box state?
Shadow, doing a no-clip chaos control at the very moment the prism broke, avoided this event all together.
At least, that's how I understand it? I feel like the other dimensions went away once the prism was put back together. There was a lot of imagery of refraction/prisms (layers of colour) spreading out upon shattering, so I'd imagine if each layer of colour represents a paradox dimension/alter, then putting it back together would squish everything down again.
That might also be why Green Hill Zone broke since its components were spread out rather than layered all at once like they're supposed to be?
Btw I was thinking about Sonic Prime
Does Sonic have alternate versions of himself like his friends do? If so where the hell was he? Did he get like replaced by original Sonic? What about Shadow? (he's always a no-show so this isn't too important)
Maybe i'm just stupid or I zoned out I have no clue. Don't tell me it's just some meta projection of his mind that's so lame and lazy
some doodles of knuckles the dread in a more sea of thieves-y setting!! bottom comic was based on a stupid thing i did in game. it felt right
some hcs i have about dread:
he's constantly drinking/drunk. he's still on the ball enough to get the job done, but there's almost never a moment where he isn't drinking
dread drinks because he tries to numb himself/forget about things. his mental health isn't great. this is also why dread is known for being so impulsive and reckless.
he likes to smoke too. man's just a collection of vices
his quills are wavey because they get wet so often that their shape has kinda 'warped'
i liked sonic prime a normal amount
here's all the knuckles clones with different aspects applied to them
renegade hits the gym so he's tighter dread is a drunk who over indulges so he's softer in the middle gnarly eats One Berry per day :"/
My first posted art of 2024 is a goofy meme compilation that took five hours to make legible
i've seen people do this here and there and i really wanted to add my own 2 cents with the help of this shitty doodle
fuck you guess who binged the entirety of sonic prime in about a day, got a massive headache, almost spit out their stomach cause of it and still didn't regret a thing
anyways these two. i doodled them in public transport because i have no shame which i payed for later cause i had to tweak the colours for 30 minutes, my phone screen is too YELLOW
Tiny sonknux doodle. Sonic prime was so zesty
VEN Y SANA MI DOLOOOOR
(finally found this again yay!!)
To add on: I had a thought a while back after seeing this post for the first time, that the world where Maria survives could be the New Yoke one? And perhaps Dr. Done-it could be Gerald.
I don't know my Sonic lore too well yet as I'm pretty new to this fandom but maybe Gerald figured out a way to cure Maria at the cost of Shadow? GUN could've been pissed about loosing the ultimate lifeform and had the project shut down. Or not at the cost of Shadow, but that GUN simply wouldn't like how Shadow was used for medicine and healing instead of training to be a weapon and still send that squad to get Gerald & Shadow. However instead of Maria getting shot it would be Shadow? He could maybe be weakened and vulnerable somehow as a result of finding the cure for Maria and his immortality and healing aren't working because of it and dies. However I'm not so sure what could lead to Gerald becoming evil, but one way or another it happens and Maria (going by the vibe I've gotten from the movie and what I've seen of the project shadow lore) would be opposed to him. She could be aiding the rebellion in New Yoke, working from the shadows to bring the Chaos Council down. She'd most definitely be aged up but by how much, I'm not sure. With this I personally see seasons 1 & 2 being largely the same outside of Rebel & Knuck mentioning an unknown helper (maybe they call her Shadow and Sonic thinks it's a version of Shadow and doesn't realise it untill season 3?).
Season 3 would then need a rewrite to include more of Shadow and explore the Maria & Shadow dynamic, especially with the versions of them who've lost the other. During episodes 3x1 and 3x2, Shadow could remove the inhibitor rings to get a power boost, get out of Grim and start figuring out where Sonic is. Meanwhile in New Yoke, Maria could reveal herself and help get the citizens safely to the Chaos Council base (maybe appealing to Gerald to let them in?). Shadow could then appear and cue angst!
Not sure how to continue it from there so someone much more talented and knowledgeable of the lore and characters can take it from there :').
SONIC PRIME MISSED OPPORTUNITY
I think Sonic Prime could have had an alternate version of Maria Robotnick where she survived but Shadow didn't. Similar to Gwen from Spiderverse.
