5 (possibly) Underrated Things I Always Remember About Sonic Boom:

it’s interesting how.. on their own paul and marko are they own people (laid back weedie and rage filled goblin) but put them together and suddenly the entire room radiates small brain energy

STONE, THANK YOU

One cool thing I think about Agent Stone is that he's not xenophobic.

Like, yes he's evil and wants to take over the world and doesn't mind ruining lives but he draws the line at being prejudiced. Yes he can't stand Sonic, but that's because he's a threat to Eggman's plans and a target for Ivo. He kind of likes Tails and finds him cute, to the point where he wants to know more about him. Hell, even the beef with Knuckles isn't because the echidna is an alien, but because Stone thinks he's so dumb and therefore doesn't deserve his respect. When he took care of Shadow at the crab, he wasn't just civil, he actively treated him well. Stone cooked for him, kept a telenovela playing for him to distract himself and took the initiative to cheer Shadow up. He even said "we're going to take over the world :D" with the happiest face known to man. Stone was genuinely eager to share the victory of achieving his and Robotinik's life goal with this space kid he barely knew.

GUN really is the worst.

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Arkturus, and welcome to the blog!

I'm a Sonadow and Arthurlot shipper, and I have a BUNCH of AUs in the works!

I normally post my writing on AO3, but you might be able to check some stuff out under the Arkturmistswrites tag! (once I actually begin to post stuff ;-;), and some WIPs with the ArkturmistsWIP tag, too! (Though those will be rarer) If you're in any rambles and/or random thoughts, look at the ArkturmistsYaps tag I hope you have a great time here!!

The more I think about it, the more subtle references to Arthurian legend are actually IN SatBK. One of the SMALLEST references is during Gawain's defeat, when he tries to behead himself. This is likely a reference to Gawain and the Green Knight. The Green Knight offers to get hit with a VERY nice axe, but in return, whatever blow was dealt to him will be returned the next year (so, if Gawain and lightly tapped him on the arm, Gawain would get a light tap on the arm in response). Gawain beheads the Green Knight, hoping it'll kill him, but the Green Knight just says that he'll see Gawain next year, picks up his head, and walks out.

Next year comes, and the Green Knight disguises himself, with Gawain proving himself as strong-willed, noble, and honest to the disguised Green Knight. This ends up working in Gawain’s favor, since instead of getting beheaded, he only gets a small tap on the neck from the axe. Just like where Galatine was positioned in the cutscene before Sonic took it away.

Gotta love SatBK's references.

TRANS BILL & TED! TRANS BILL & TED

last days of pride, just in time for Bill & Ted’s Most Genderous Adventure 🤘

If there’s one thing I love in SatBK, it’s that DESPITE being crowned as King Arthur, he actually fills 2 roles (Arthur and Mordred).

Him filling Arthur’s role is PRETTY self explanatory. He’s crowned king at the end of the game, pulled the sword from the stone, leads the knights and kingdom, etc. But Mordred’s role is something ENTIRELY different.

First, Mordred and Sonic both doomed Camelot in different ways: Mordred with usurping Arthur and taking his throne, Sonic with giving the scabbard to Merlina resulted in the kingdom almost being destroyed. Mordred disregarded the code of Chivalry (Sonic does this out of overall disinterest and his morals, Mordred has more lustful habits and unchivalrous behaviors, which Sonic DOES NOT have).

Then, we have the more obvious parallels between them. Mordred killed Arthur, and Sonic did the same with the illusionary Arthur. Mordred used Clarent to kill him, a sword that Arthur used in ceremonies, and BEFORE getting Caliburn, the sword Sonic uses for Misty Lake’s tutorial levels is, in fact, Clarent as well.

This is all REALLY circumstantial, and of course it’s not 100% accurate, I just thought it was a really cool thing to mention.

But I also really want to know what this would mean for Merlina’s dialogue now. After all: “Arthur is struck down by his son Mordred, and departs for Avalon”, but if Sonic fills the roles of BOTH Arthur and Mordred, then Camelot’s ending plays out much differently.

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!

Sonic and the Black Knight is still SUCH a strange concept, and it STILL works. Like, "Oh yeah, King Arthur was corrupted by the power of immortality, became a tyrant king, the Knights of the Round Table are still bound by their honor to serve him, they're hunting Merlin's granddaughter, Sonic is summoned to the world, slays dragons, saves Percival and Gawain's lives, kills King Arthur, and saves the ENTIRE kingdom in less than a week and becomes the new king."

And the main gimmick of the game is just 'Oh yeah, Sonic uses a sword'. This game is INCREDIBLE
