Phantom Ruby - Blog Posts

reflection of no weakness

been wanting to draw infinite lately a shit ton he's so cool

Thanks to your Metal Sonic X Infinite post, I'm now thinking about Infinite's reality bending Phantom Rubussy and Sonic getting hospitalized because of it

that was the torture he went through during sonic forces,not the phantom rubussy itself,he was just forced to pay the hospital bill for it because they cancelled his insurance

Sonic Forces Rewrite:The Phantom Ruby

Guess who's back for more Sonic headcannons that nobody even asked for, that's right it's me and today we are diving into my very own lore behind the Phantom Ruby

-The Phantom Ruby in the Rewrite lore is a ancient gem that mostly corrupts people's powers and twists their desires. It just magically popped into existence one day (bear with me here).

-Some ancient civilizations wanted to use the Ruby for many reasons, yet unfortunately it caused mayhem and courrupted people in it's wake. Only someone with complete control and a thirst for power can completely use the Phantom Ruby (gee I wonder who THAT could be).

-The Ruby can sometimes cause the user to astral project or use it to go inside dreams. The user could even manifest their desires into the real world, if they think hard and long enough.

-Apparently the Ruby became a legend in various communities due to the absolute power it holds, and of course as Infinite grew into a teenager, he became more obsessed with it.

-After Infinite got courrupted by the Ruby, he found that his illusion abilities were even more powerful. So of course like every Sonic villan, he wreaks havoc with it. Sometimes he even uses the Ruby to tease Sonic.

-But that doesn't help the fact that Sonic pulls a uno reverse card and teases Infinite as well, even though the two are basically the whole "enemies to lovers" troupe (why does Sonic ask Infinite if he likes long romantic walks on the beach then?)

-Infinite could also use the Ruby (if it has enough power or something) to literally DESTROY THE FABRIC OF REALITY but that's a suprise tool that can help him later!

That is all for now. Hope you enjoyed

Infinite Headcannons

This is only the third post I ever posted on this site.

I love this jackal so much that I decided to make an entire post dedicated to some of my headcannons of him.

-Infinite's illusions are sometimes tuned into how he's feeling. If Infinite is feeling normal then he has more control over his illusions then when he is emotional. For example, when Infinite becomes angry his illusions grow more stronger.

-But why did Infinite even want the Ruby in the first place?

The easy answer is that he wanted power, but why the Phantom Ruby corrupted him had mostly to do with the fact that the Ruby is completely unstable and courrupted other people before him or it's the fact that Infinite tried to comprehend something that nobody else could comprehend. And once he actually did, his mind was open to the Phantom Ruby's control. Infinite KNEW the risks, but he was willing to take them for power.

-He could literally rewrite reality and there could be nobody to stop him from doing so, but for now he uses the Ruby on his own terms with Eggman.

-My personal headcannon for Infinite's past is much more complex than the "oh Shadow beat me up and now I'm evil" backstory that Forces gave us, but I will wait to post that for another time.
