Hi there and welcome to my Dreamwidth journal!
Here you'll find posts about my main fandom, Sonic the Hedgehog! I may also post about other fandoms, which will always be of the videogame or animated show variety, because I love gaming and cartoons. Any content that contains things like ships or mature subjects will be neatly tucked beneath a cut.
I like to post discussion blogs, my fanworks, recommendations, lists, the occasional real-life post, promos, challenges, memes, etc.
To learn how I became a Sonic fan, read on.
I think Sonic's first game might have been the first videogame I ever played. My house had Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 for the Sega Genesis in the '90s. I also loved watching the SatAM and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons as a kid. I saw a little of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 from my cousin and Blockbuster, respectively, but didn't really know about Modern Sonic until Sonic X first aired in 2003. I played Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog, then my interest faded, rekindled, and solidified years later, around 2018.
I love the potential for its lore and characters, and I love the overarching themes of world/nature's beauty, freedom, adventure, making the most of my time while I can, and perseverance.
Here are some of my random Sonic the Hedgehog preferences:
- Favorite character: Maria Robotnik. I like how she's a Robotnik and I wish I knew more about her, like what her favorite color and flower was. I like the fan concept of her as a hedgehog, but prefer her original human self the most.
- Favorite song: "Supporting Me." I like the official remixes and even some fanmade ones, but prefer the original version the most.
- Favorite show: Sonic X
- Ships: Shadria, Silvaze, Knouge, and platonic Sonamy, in that order.
- I prefer the voice casts of the Sonic Adventure and Sonic X eras over the Roger-Craig-Smith-era cast for the Modern characters. I do enjoy the R.C.S.-era cast as Boom characters, though.
- I prefer not to think of Mobians as having ages the way humans do, but "stages" instead, like a Child stage and a Teenager stage.
- I prefer the 3D games over the 2D games. And I like hub worlds.
- I like having the humans and the Mobians sharing one world together.
Oh, and if you want to check out where I've uploaded all my Sonic fanworks, here is my profile masterlist post.
