This is a cool detail. Sonic seems to have photic sneeze reflex i.e A quirk that causes eye-watering, runny nose and sneezing when exposed to sudden bright light. This is why he asked for a tissue

Ken Penders’ “synopses” of Sonic’s character are quite possibly the worst most off-kilter interpretation of the character that I’ve ever heard. What the fuck am I reading?

When you get down to it, Sonic is actually a pretty polite and gracious person. Very overlooked trait of his personality if you ask me

I found it to be a charming little touch to X!Sonic's character that he likes to read about different places in books and bases what he's going to do from the info.

One thing I love about some Sonic renders is the detail on his shoes! There's wear(?) on his soles and tarnishing on his buckles even!

Sonic lengthens the strokes on the letters in his handwriting. He does so on the "C" on the end of his name that he carved into his shoe soles in Sonic Adventure.

Squee! I love it when they use Sonic’s ears to get across his emotions and/or physical condition. They did it so well in this game.

What I find interesting about Dr Eggman's profiles in the official JP Jam and Adventure guides is that it's stated that his character is more like a child who can't discern right from wrong (Jam) and that he means no ill will (Adventure). IMO, this makes his apathy scarier.

According to her profile inside the official JP Sonic Adventure Guidebook, Amy lives by herself in an apartment in downtown Station Square (Paragraph that mentions this outlined in red)

IDW!Silver as drawn by Stanley is extremely OoC and off-model expression-wise. Note the images below - When Silver is drawn in-character and on-model by Uekawa or Karasuno, his eye shape and mouth stay on-model even if he's happy. Stanley!Silver is a mangling of the character.

Sonic’s non-visible back spines when he wears clothes leads me to believe that he compresses them against his spine to fit into clothes easier.

Lol Sonic fandom “pecking order”. How pretentious. No matter if you’re a fan of the games, the cartoons, the books or anything else Sonic, you’re a SONIC FAN. That’s all there is to it. There’s no “hierarchy”

Sonic's brows/eye ridges have rules. But so do Sonic's spines. Model sheets dictate that his spines maintain their curvature. They don't wave-around in wind. This is why even when his spines are pushed upwards, they ALWAYS maintain their curvature.

A pretty overlooked ability of Sonic’s IMO is his piloting ability. He’s never really been depicted as an incompetent aviator

Sonic's shoes are boots. The white cuff is the top folded down and as such they are part of the boot. They are not socks.

Silver's eyes are not rounded i.e "Tareme" They are strictly sharp-cornered i.e "Tsurime" to get across that he is a serious character.

The yellow part of Classic Dr Eggman's clothing is NOT a cape. Regardless of what Twitter Takeovers tell you. It's actually a collar of the like seen on Sea Cadet uniform.

The crescent-shaped marking on Knuckles’ chest symbolizes the moon whilst the circular patch on Sonic’s stomach symbolizes the sun. This was to make their designs contrast.

Most anthro Sonic characters do not have toes as defined as separate digits. Their feet are toeless. Unless they're Chip or a Koala. Sonic, Amy, Tails, Big and Tikal prove this.

As a physically-disabled person with severe musculoskeletal disease, can I just say that the way Helen is depicted in Sonic X is really well done? She isn't inspiration porn, is shown as an ambulatory wheelchair user and is relatable. I think she's great.

If you stand to the right of Knuckles in Sky Sanctuary and duck, he will do a unique animation gesturing for Sonic/Tails to go on without him.

IDW!Silver is a bastardisation of the character, flanderizing his immaturity to ridiculous levels and morphing him into this cinnamon roll happy boi. He’s also off-model and has stupid expressions under Stanley’s pen.

No, he expects you to do what HE wants you to do. That’s not freedom. You could see this come to a head in MV arc - He gave MS “freedom” in

then chewed him out when he did what he’s literally programmed to do.

If you need to drill it into people that you're "Good" and "Nice", chances are, you're not. IDW!Sonic isn't by any stretch, he's a hypocritical principles zealot who gives you the illusion of free choice but rejects you when you refuse to go by his views. He isn't a nice guy.

1 - Omega isn't your ally. He destroys Eggman's robots because he wants to prove himself superior. Not because he wants to be noble.
2 - Gemerl was reprogrammed by Tails.
Your points are moot.

Stop treating Ian Flynn like he some authority on Sonic. He isn't. He's not word of God either. And often doesn't know what he's talking about. If the Encyclospeedia with it's over 50 amateur mistakes wasn't evidence enough for you.
