Sonic and Knuckles are mountain man bros in the sense that they both grew up in the wild raised by animals. They dunk themselves in a river, call themselves clean, and then fistbump about it. They eat fruit right off bushes. Knuckles can find you a damn good tuber in a pinch and Sonic would be able to snatch you a worm if you really wanted it. Knuckles finds it difficult to pick up on mainstream cultural customs but Sonic's always found it easy now that he's older.
Tails and Amy, meanwhile, grew up in towns. These towns had a definite human influence, hence their possession of first and last names, but they still grew up in a Mobian in-group of sorts. They know proper fur/quill care, feel that it's gender non-conforming for a boy to wear clothes and a girl to go without them, and are adept at reading ear/tail gestures. Tails was never really one for any small-town slang but Amy still uses more rural phrasing even now that she lives in a larger city.
Rouge grew up in a large city, so she's more well-versed in cultures other than her own. She's adopted some human rituals because she thinks they're fun, like face masks and shaving some of her body fur. She loves exploring human cuisines because they're "exotic" to her while Mobian cuisine are comfort foods. She's fluent in several different kinds of slang along with the gestures/manners of the different cultures.
Shadow was raised by humans. His mannerisms are unmistakably human. From wearing human-sized shirts around the house, to having a taste for "human" comfort foods, to being completely unable to read ear/tail gestures in conversation, any Mobian is able to peg him as an outsider pretty quickly. While he's absolutely embraced proper quill care, Rouge had to first point out to him that he was doing it wrong- using human shampoo is not going to cut it, hun.
Omega is. . . weird. For the most part, he's predictably alien: what few social customs he's bothered to learn he has to have observed first. Rouge has been a helpful educator on the rare occasion he gives a shit, usually in regards to slang translation to add to his dictionary. He's almost more like Knuckles in the sense that he was isolated and now he's playing catchup. Sometimes, sometimes, though, the assumptions Omega makes will lean more towards human biases. Anyone who values their life knows not to ever point that out to him.
Metal Sonic reads like a robot imitating a human imitating a Mobian. Yes, he can imitate Sonic's gestures, but it's the movement in between that's uncanny. The physicality of his limbs. The weight of each step in his out-of-combat walk cycle. It screams "human". Most of his cultural knowledge, the little that he has, comes from observing Eggman's daily routine. But Eggman is just one human, and an isolated and eccentric one at that. Metal Sonic could recognize a refrigerator but not a washing machine, could recognize a plate and fork but not any other kitchen cookware. His knowledge is piecemeal. His imitations are incomplete. He was designed for combat, nothing more. His unconscious attempts to fill in the gaps are illogical, aren't they?
Silver is permanently locked into a culture called "survival mode". That's a joke, but only mostly. His behaviors more closely match that of someone growing up in extreme poverty. He can't stand to throw stuff away and he has a hypervigilance about danger that someone who grew up in a "bad neighborhood" would understand. Not to mention that any cultural values he has learned are a few hundred years out of date, so his guesses at any customs tend to be slightly off.
Blaze is from a different dimension, which basically reads as just a different culture than the one that's prominent where most of Sonic's friends reside! She actually gets a kick out of sharing her customs and comparing them to everyone else's. She's also from an extremely privileged walk of life, though, and it definitely shows no matter how much research she does to try and be less ignorant about how "normal" life works.
Hello there!! Can i headcanons for Red son, Nezha, Sun Wukong and Macaque with their fem s/o who is acting like a house wife + she's good taking care or babysit children
Hello!! Hope you like this one!!
I don't think he realizes what you're doing, at first. Like, he'd try to insist that you leave all the cleaning and cooking to the bull clones
They keep saying "You are the lover of the Prince of the Demon Bull King family, which makes you the Princess! Please, dear, leave the cleaning and such to the bots."
If you keep insisting though, he'll give in and let you what you want. He actually tries to help you out with some chores! You guys both wash the dishes and cook meals together :]
Firmly believes that she shouldn't just let you do all the hard work by yourself. You're his beloved! If you want to become their housewife, then he will become your househusband. That's how a relationship is supposed to work, right? Both parties have to do their own share of work!
So now you got a Malewife Red Son. Congrats!!
Sometimes he sees you babysit some kids and even babying some of the bull clones they made, and she has to calm himself down before their hair torches the ceiling
Red Son is sort of a romantic, and daydreams sometimes on what having a family with you is like... So seeing you be so gentle with children fuels those fantasies a whole lot
Be prepared for a marriage proposal in the near future!!
Nezha is literally the God of Children. So if he ever sees you being so gentle with kids, he'll be so touched before joining you
Nezha never really thought about marriage or having kids of his own, so whenever he sees you act all motherly with children or acting like a housewife his face gets red
Accidentally referred to you as his wife once and got so embarrassed afterwards. Please don't bring it up he'll literally collapse /j
Has actually thought of doing those traditional chinese marriages with you if you guys ever do get married. He brings up the topic of marriage once to gouge out your reaction so he can see how you feel about it
Nezha starts to warm up to the concept of you being a housewife after a while, but that doesn't mean he'll leave all the work to you!
There's not much to do living with him anyway. He already cleans his own things and makes his own meals, so at best you only make food whenever he's tired and clean stuff he forgot to clean
Oh, he loves it. He loves the fact that you act like his housewife so much, that bastard
He can't cook for shit, so you often make meals for him. He tries to help you out, but I think it's best if he just stays as a cooking assistant for now-
I don't think he eats anything other than peaches in his mountain, so make sure to give him a variety of food in his meals! He would be so grateful. He'd literally eat anything you make and say that it tastes better than the peaches of immortality
Wukong is also very messy. Please tell him to pick up after himself or else you're gonna be cleaning so much stuff
Believe it or not, your housewife actions actually influence him a bit! He gets you a bunch of ingredients from over the world, even mythical ones! Fully encourages your cooking and cleaning habits by gifting you things like that
The baby monkeys love you so much. So much that he told you he thinks they love you more than they love him
He doesn't mind, he agrees with them to be honest lmao
I don't think he cares much for starting a family/getting married, since you guys practically act married already! But if you want things to get official, then he'll gladly oblige
Isn't used to people taking care of him. Whenever he wakes up to you cooking a meal just for him and cleaning up the dojo, he gets so touched that he doesn't know what to say
Mac really likes it when you act like a housewife. He loves the domestic vibes he gets when he sees you cook or clean early in the morning. Living a peaceful and loving life with you is like, his biggest dream
He wants to pay you back for all your hard work, somehow. Says a whole lot of 'thank you's and 'Aw, for me?'s, but internally he's racking his brain for any possible way to give you the same amount of love you give him
You tell him it isn't necessary, but he just really wants to show you how much he loves you! So he gives you little gifts, like an apron or some suggesting some food recipes you guys could make together
Isn't that big of a family guy, I think. He knows you babysit kids, but he stays out of the way most of the time because he thinks he might scare them. That all changes once the Hostess comes over and you guys immediately bond
It's only after hanging out with you and the hostess is that he realizes how much he'd love having a life of quiet with you. Just you and him, maybe some kids, living peacefully in a house somewhere. He brings it up to you someday, to see what you think about it, before agreeing on something
He's engaged now :]] Mac is doing mental fist pumps whenever he sees you with the ring on your finger
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this was good!! I actually like the way I characterized Red Son here. Nezha's was pretty short, but that's mostly because I don't know his character all that well. This was super fun to write!
I’ve been thinking a lot about Shadow’s characterizations in the Project: Shadow fan film, SA2, Archie, Heroes, ‘06, Prime, and Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog and why they’re all considered among the best. And I’ve been thinking about his characterizations in IDW and Boom, how they’re considered among the worst, and how much they clash with the other portrayals. I think I’ve hit upon the number one quality that Shadow needs to have to be written well.
Loyalty.
I’ll explain below the cut.
The best Shadow is one who is loyal to someone or something. Maybe he’s not always loyal to the right someone or something, but he is loyal nonetheless. It’s a core part of his character. He is ride or die to the very end for whatever friend or cause he cares about. Shadow is always ready to kill or be killed for whatever or whoever matters to him most; it’s what sets him apart from the others. The others have limits on their loyalty. Sonic will help you out, but he’s not gonna kill a man for you. Shadow will. He doesn’t have that limit. If you are Shadow’s friend and you need him to kill for you, he will do it. Period.
Here’s a recap of Shadow’s loyalty:
In SA2 and the fan film, it’s to Maria, and to a lesser extent, Gerald.
In Heroes and ‘06, it’s to Team Dark.
In Archie, it’s to Team Dark, Hope Kintobor, and Commander Tower. Sometimes it’s even to his own values like when he goes against Rouge to help Blaze in Treasure Team Tango.
In Sonic X, it’s to Maria and later Molly. Maybe even to the universe, given that he’s ready to kill Cosmo to save it.
In Prime, it’s to Green Hill. And later on, Shadow is also loyal to Sonic despite the latter driving him crazy.
In Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s to Amy.
And in his own game, Shadow can be loyal to Maria, Sonic and friends, Eggman (up to a point), Black Doom, or even Earth itself. Not all of those folks are worth his loyalty, but the fact is that Shadow still cares about fighting by their side. That key element of his personality remains.
And that’s what’s missing in Boom and IDW. Because in those, he isn’t loyal to anything. He isn’t ride or die for anyone. At least, not that we can tell. When you remove Shadow’s faithfulness to those he loves, you remove a lot of what makes him who he is and all that’s left is an edgy aesthetic that soon wears out its welcome because there isn’t anything to supplement it. And this is made worse by the fact that they’re never allowed to bring up or expand his backstory, so they can’t ever talk about why he’s like this.
I guess you could make the argument that Shadow is loyal to the world in IDW since he helps save it a few times, but he’s so mean and heartless to everyone in the world that it feels less like he’s fighting to protect other people and more like he’s just trying to save his own house so he still has a place to live. I mean, if he won’t help Rouge when she’s been kidnapped by Starline and he won’t help Omega when the latter has been smashed to bits and he won’t help the Chao get out of their cage and he actually has to be talked into saving a village from an avalanche and he seems to really dislike/be annoyed by everyone he comes into contact with…what exactly is he saving the Earth for?? It can’t be for the people living in it. He hates them. He doesn’t care if they need his help. So the only conclusion I can draw is that he’s just doing it to save his own skin. The only person Shadow shows even the slightest bit of loyalty to is himself.
And that makes him unrecognizable from the Shadow we know and love.
His loyalty is his greatest virtue, even when it’s misguided. Let him keep it.
This short comic was featured in the anthology doujin "CLAMP in Wonderland 1994." This doujin is mostly known for the infamous short story where Kakyoin from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure lays an egg.
If you're in the Jojo fandom and always wondered why Sonic is on the cover of that doujin, this is why.
(Translation done by me)
This minecraft short comic called "A strange Coast" made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.
It understands minecraft so perfectly and doesn't treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.
And all that within 10 pages and no word spoken.

Okay, I think that’s all I gotta say. See yall next time <33 :]]
Good day ducky! I've seen your new blog and it's looking cool!but let's go for the request shall we?
May I request a demon reader with lady bone demon?to explain:she and reader (gn pronouns for the peeps)had the same opinion to change the world!even gotten imprisoned together for their power was like no other!(or just a evil power couple if you get me)
It's a shame lbd isn't that popular between reader fics :(
-🐢 anon
Good day to you too! I gotta admit, LBD is overlooked a lot in terms of reader fics. Though, I think that's mostly because of her association with the Host Girl. This piece is strictly LBD, so the Host Girl is gonna be out of the picture (cuz it would be weird otherwise-)
Warnings: Mentions of death, poverty, and violence. Nothing explicit, though. Also, this is very long.
Ok so first of all, before LBD decided to literally wipe out the earth, we gotta remember that she once tried to help out humanity by working in a high ranking position for an emperor back in Ancient China
Demons weren't exactly... Well liked back in those days. So when you were caught sneaking around the palace grounds, you hauled to the emperor himself to be given your sentence
And what would you know, he chose execution! Lovely. (Note the sarcasm)
Bound in chains with guards pointing their weapons at you, you had no choice but to listen as the emperor listed off how horrifyingly painful your death was gonna be, and how you were gonna be used as an example to ward off other demonic threats that may enter the castle
You grit your teeth in frustration. This was not how it was supposed to go at all... You weren't breaking in with any malicious intent, you simply just wanted to speak with the Emperor about the condition of the kingdom! You've seen the struggles of demons and humans alike, and yet nothing was being done about it.
But who would ever listen to you, a mere demon? Your kind is not innocent by an means, so obviously, you would be just as evil as the rest of them. Why would anyone take your word and actually help you?
You lost all hope in that moment. Hope in yourself, hope for the kingdom's future, and most of all, hope in the emperor for not lifting a finger to help those in need
Until a woman in white robes comes in the room
You knew instantly that something wasn't right. That woman, she wasn't human. No, she was something worse...
A demon
But what was a demon doing in the emperors palace? In such luxurious robes, no less? Has she actually successfully fooled the entire court?
Your hands grip in anger when you realize that this demon must be living the most comfortable life, while everyone else was suffering in poverty. What a traitor.
She slides her sharp gaze over to you, still in chains and kneeling on the floor, and opens her mouth
You prepared yourself to be insulted, ridiculed, or even to get completely ignored. You went through all of that and more back at the kingdom's slums
But-
"Your Holy Highness, I must ask you to release this demon and set them free."
You blinked.
What? She wanted to set you free?
Apparently, everyone else was as shocked as you were
"Excuse me? We cannot just let this demonic spawn go! We must set an example to all those who wish to infiltrate the castle with malicious intent. Letting them walk free of their crimes would be scandalous!"
The woman bowed, looking like the epitome of grace
"As your advisor, my job is to leave you words of wisdom and guidance in times of need. This is one of those times. If we slaughter a helpless demon, then those lurking in the city will see this as an act of war, and would attempt to perform an uprising. It is best if we keep this one alive and safe, to avoid any unnecessary conflict."
The emperor thinks this over, and you lightly tremble. The woman has a point. The relationship between the demons in the kingdom with the emperor is... shaky. She's speaking from a point of logic
But that still doesn't explain why she would help you. Sure, to avoid any conflict from the demon race, but is that really all there is?
The emperor scoffs in a haughty tone
"Hmph. You are foolish, Ivory Lady. But if you insist, then we shall let the demon.... walk free."
The council doesn't seem pleased with the emperors decision. Hell, even the emperor himself looks obviously displeased on letting you walk free. But you couldn't care less.
You were going to live.
You were so close to death, but you somehow avoided it
And it's all thanks to...
Your eyes glance at the Ivory Lady, standing with full composure, not as speck of reaction on her neutral face
"But!" the emperor speaks again, as if he was determined to let your life be living hell. "This demon still broke into the palace, which is a massive offense! In order to not let this demon go unpunished, they must stay at the castle as a servant, attending to all the higher ups needs."
The Emperor sports a smug smirk on his face, but you couldn't care less. All you could care about was the Ivory Lady, bowing down to the emperor, not a hitch in her voice as she says
"As you wish, Your Holiness."
Now you walk down the impossible long hallways of the palace, the Ivory Lady at your side. You were told to accompany her as she shows you your new living quarters. The emperor said that a simple servant could do that, but the Ivory Lady insisted that she would do it
Your chains are still on your wrists, and a part of you flares in irritation. You may be alive, but at the cost of your freedom. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to do anything about the suffering beyond the palace walls. The reason on why you came to the emperor in the first place has disappeared.
Well... maybe not everything was as bad as it seemed
"I would like to apologize on behalf of the emperor," the Ivory Lady speaks up. You jolt, not expecting her to talk to you. "He... does not think things through sometimes."
"Ah," You awkwardly say, surprised that she was brave enough to indirectly insult the emperor "Thank you. For um, saving me. And for the apology. Although there is no need to apologize, I did break into the palace grounds after all."
The Ivory Lady shakes her head
"Still, you do not deserve to be punished in such a way. You did not come here for malicious intent, correct?"
You nod, wondering how she knew that. "No, I... I came here to speak with the emperor."
The Ivory Lady shows mild interest in your words. "What did you wish to speak about?"
"About the suffering in the kingdom. I myself live in the slums and have witnessed the pain that everyone there shares. There are thieves and violence; poverty and famine; all demons and humans are desperately trying to get by. I was hoping, that by talking with the emperor he would be able to do something, but..."
You trailed off, sorrow overtaking your body. The Ivory Lady seems to understand, for she hums sadly
"I see... Truth be told, the reason why I took upon this job was to aid to rid the world of suffering. I hoped that by helping with someone with real power and guided them to be better, I could create the perfect world. A world without the endless pain and misery."
You listen to her words, entranced. She sounds genuine, and a flash of sadness comes across her face for a brief moment, before being smoothed out into a hardened and sharp look
"But I am starting to think this may be a fruitless effort."
"You are not human, are you?" You blurt out, wanting to know more about this mysterious woman and her perspective of the world
She doesn't respond, keeping silent for a few steps and stopping at a wooden door.
"This will be your living quarters. It is not comfortable by any means, but it should be enough. I shall see you tomorrow."
She turns to walk away, but you stop her.
"Wait! Let me help you. I want to remove people's suffering more than anything. If you are being honest... Then let me assist you in making a perfect world."
She halts in her steps as you speak. The Ivory Lady turns her head, enough for you to see the small smirk on her face. For a moment, your heart flutters.
"I shall see you in the morning. Rest well."
She turns away and continues walking. Her steps slowly fade away as you're left staring at where she went.
You hope that the glimmer in the Ivory Lady's eyes before she left was a yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I'm proud of this one! I hope I wrote LBD in character! I love characters that use fancy words, they're always fun to write. This was getting a bit long, so if anyone wants/requests a part 2 then drop one in my inbox and I'll see if I can do it!
