Chapter 20 Of A Work In Progress Is Out!

Chapter 18 of A Work In Progress is out!

Summary: Shadow and Sonic attend Vector’s bachelor party. Both fun and some chaos ensue during the event.

Sorry but I have to rant about this here bc SHE WAS DEF REFERRING TO SONIC AND I STAND BY THAT.

Abe of course thought of Maria, because he knew Maria and yes, at the time, Maria was the only one to get through to Shadow.

But Rouge didn’t know Maria. She may have heard stories, but she doesn’t know her. She never saw their interactions. So why would she reference Maria like that? It doesn’t make sense. It instead makes for sense for her to be referencing Sonic, the one person she’s actually seen get to Shadow.

It is canon and has been said that Sonic is the only one whose words can reach Shadow’s heart. We’ve literally seen Sonic get Shadow to stand down (e.g. IDW comics issue 6)

Also the way Rouge smiled, I don’t think she’d smile like that if she were referring to Maria. Everything just points to her referring to Sonic.

This only adds to the parallels between Sonic and Maria. Two generations, one who knew Shadow on the Ark and someone who works with him now, both having that one person in their head who can get to Shadow. I think it’s actually perfect that they added that comment Abe made about Maria, just driving home the point that Maria and Sonic have parallels in regard to Shadow.

Anyways thank you for listening to my insane rambles :)

felt like i should put this out there:

IF YOU SHIP ADULTS WITH MINORS, THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR YOU

IF YOU SHIP INCEST, THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR YOU

IF YOU SHIP ANYTHING ILLEGAL, THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR YOU

IF YOU THINK THAT ANY OF THAT IS OKAY, LEAVE MY BLOG. IT’S NOT FOR YOU.

First thoughts after seeing the trailer

Part 2

4- Almost indirect praise

5- Smile because of a specific person

So, without a "shadow" of a doubt, my ultimatum is....

Shadow, you have feelings for Sonic!

And he's been in love for years and didn't realize it

Comment something that I didn't include, but that would fit here

And happy Sonadowtober

Idk if this is already a Ninjago fan season idea or what- but you cannot tell me that a season where all of the Ninja’s elements somehow get mixed up like that Tinker Bell and the pirate fairy movie would not be entertaining. Just like- fricking imagine Kai, who legit can’t swim, trying to work with water. Or Jay trying to work with earth, idk you get the point. And they have to go through the entire season trying to figure out how to use those elements all while trying to defeat a villain. Oh and the arguments that would happen while the original holder of that element is trying to teach the ninja stuck with their element how to use it and it’s just not working out. Oh my word that would be priceless-

This is so fricking good I had to share. My little brother and I came up with the idea for this drawing, but as a realistic artist I’ve never been the best at cartoon drawings, so I made a quick sketch of what I wanted and explained the idea and sent it to a server in hopes of a finding someone to commission, and instead someone did it for free. @Micahdoesthings on tiktok took my idea and drew this in a single day, and it could not be more perfect. He does really good Ninjago cosplays on tiktok so you should definetely check him out, but for now just appreciate his fricking amazing artistic skills

I scrolled so far through my liked stuff to find this I think about this comic constantly they’re so cute cjckdjdkdjdidn

Anointing

Something to hold you guys over until the next pages. Anoint is fun to say.

OP, what?? Let me explain:

This was partly inspired by another comic, got me thinking of how anointing worked. People kinda do this too, stealing your partners jacket for example.

Anointing is when hedgehogs find a smell they like (in some cases a poison) and proceed to lick it and create a saliva foam before covering their spines in the smell/spit.

Scientists don't really understand it but it may have a role in removing parasites, mating behavior or something to do with predators. Free lore.

Mobian 'hogs do it too, but a little less messy...

A special oil in their quills is released as they rub their spines together and even non-hedgehogs mobians can smell it when up close. It's a way to broadcast their partnership, with some considering it a huge leap in a relationship. Many just kinda do it without thinking, as they cuddle.

What do they smell like? Im not joking:

If sonic smells like citrus and leather (official perfume) and shadow smells like lavender (coffee from oils in the espresso beans he eats), do you think they would smell like Lady Gray tea with a hint of smoke or a dark musk underneath.

Chapter 12 of A Work In Progress is out!

Summary: Shadow and Sonic receive news about a wedding they’re invited to and Shadow ends up teaching Sonic to dance properly.

This one is short and sweet but it alludes to a future chapter :)
