Ever look back on the kinda stuff you did years back and go ECK! I really need to do new art, but for some reason, I can't sit still long enough. My eyes hurt every time I stare into the monitor and it really bothers me because I'd REALLY like to get stuff done. I see all these good artists on DA  who're always updating. How I wish I wouldn't get eye strain for staring into a monitor for an hour. ><;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I sent this to got-mongoose-love, but some people told me they never were alerted. Well, I'm just going to leave it here then, to say that I'm alive and that I never really came to the conclusion Sonic ever showed his heart set on anyone in the comics. Perhaps...the girls in his life have been choosing his path for him? Maybe I'll write some more on it. I prefer writing more than drawing so any ideas for writing/editorial prompts are appreciated. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A few thoughts.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've already made a more personal dev account for any personal ideas, art or feelings I want to share with deviantart when I am ready (which I'm not because my net service has problems where I live regularly). This account however will be a place to share my liking for Mina, and any other characters that are near and dear to me. So, if you notice me talking about cartoons a lot on this account, that's because I've set up another one that will be more absent of all the cartoon talk. There is more to life than cartoons you know, but they still are a big part of my entertainment and therefore have the right not to be ignored entirely. I like making big things to talk about since I don't exactly update very often. <br />
<br />
My first topic will concern, Mina haters. More specifically, those who compare her to...that's right... Sally. First of all, it hasn't been as much of a problem as it was many years ago (much more under control), but why are people comparing SatAM Sally... to Archie's Mina? First, let me say that the two exist on two differing universes. Sally in SatAM and Sally in Archie are different to, so using that as substance to hate Mina is IMO not very wise and just seems like pointless bashing sugarcoated to appear as though someone has a well rounded arguement. Its not. SatAM Sally doesn't exactly exist in Archie because SatAM is a seprate continuity to Archie no matter how many similarities are present within it. <br />
<br />
To go further, the SatAM fans worship Sally, and then call Mina a Mary-sue. Now, I like old school, love SatAM, and Sally wasn't so bad in it. But lets back up. Sally is the brains of the operation, Sonic's partner on missions, his ONLY object of affection, is practically a main character (so much so that some fans call Sonic a guest star in his own show), has an angst ridden past and present of leading a bunch of rebels and losing her father and the one who keeps everybody focused. Now, make Sally male, a kid, Caucasian with red hair and you've got Chris Thorndyke.<br />
<br />
Don't get mad, lets evaluate Chris:<br />
<br />
+ Always at Sonic's side, (Like Sally)<br />
<br />
<br />
+ apparently seems to be the peak of Sonic's interest, (Like Princess Sally)<br />
<br />
<br />
 +can negotiate which shows his ability to keep the head on people's shoulder's (Like Sally)<br />
<br />
<br />
+ and has a sad past because his parents weren't around as he grew up leaving Sonic and his friends to be that close knit family with Tanaka, Chuck, and Ella, that he can't have with his own parents regularly.  (Like Sally)<br />
<br />
+Is a HUGE center of focus in the storyline, so much so that people can argue which is the true star of the series (Like Sally)<br />
<br />
If I wrote a story featuring either Chris or Sally, I'd most likely be criticized by many people for making a Mary-sue/Gary-stu. Both of them share a LOT of sue like traits. Compare that to Mina's super speed, and you've got so much more on their end to boot. Hypocritical to whine about Mina or Chris and then make Sally shrines to worship her as some sort of demigod. That's not to say anyone cannot like Sues. Mina has a few sue traits after all. I'm just saying, its so sad to point the finger at other characters such as Mina Mongoose, and whine about their one sue trait, when the character you compare her to (SatAM Sally) has somewhere between 3 - 5 Mary-sue/Gary-stu characteristics. <br />
<br />
So that's my take on such hypocricy and faulty comparisons. But I suppose that's not everything. Ash is becoming a reason too. Mina likes Sonic, but what about Ash? How insensitive is she to persue Sonic while Ash is around? Hello, ladies and gentlement please read issue 150 and 144, Mina deffinately thinks about Ash's feelings. She cares about Sonic, but she understands Ash is a guy with feelings. She does not hang out with Sonic, without eventually understanding that. Others say she is insensitive because she isn't taking the time to get to know her boyfriend. His glares of jealousy towards Sonic and other gestures of jealousy go unoticed to Mina. She's insensitive and stupid right? Actually, Ash's regular face is a scowl. His character design by WB was made with him scowling and he does that on a regular basis. Ash is a scowler. Isabella, Amy, Mina, not even Sonic during 145 payed it ANY mind because that's his regular look. So if Ash is glaring at Sonic with a scowl because he's jealous, nobody is going to know its because he's jealous because he scowls regularly. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then comes this whole "Eeew Mina's like Brittany Spears." Just because WB says Mina seems to remind him of Britney Spears. Can people stop calling her Britney Spears simply because a popular Sonic artist says it? Its one thing to have substance to calling Mina the equivalent to Mrs. Spears. But, its another to have NO substance, use it as some reason to hate Mina and be done with it. Why is Mina l... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well yeah its another rant about Sally  and Amy Rose. But before I get to that  just a little reflection question  about....<br />
<br />
<br />
love.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, there are those out there who  "care" about me in that way, this is  not the time to make public any agony  or dispute you have over this concept.  but here it is:<br />
<br />
<br />
Lately, I thought to myself, why do  many people desire to be with another  person? Well most of them say that with  their partner they're more complete,  aren't lonely and so fourth. But to  rely on your partner for those things  only ends people up in heartbreak. Once  you break up, or if you grow old  together one of you dies the fear of  lonliness a lack of being loved, etc  that you tried running away from by  establishing yourself with a partner  ultimately comes to the surface. Is the  whole point of many relationships  pointless? To escape what cannot be  escaped in some way shape or form?  Speration will be inevitable. Whether  by a breakup or death itself.<br />
<br />
After the thought about this, I feel,  that romantic relationships can happen,  but if they're for the right reasons.  The hardest part about it is to try  brushing off getting in a relationship  for the sole desire of being loved.<br />
<br />
When you're in a relationship for  "love" you are saying you have the  ultimate care for someone (hey I can't  think of a greater word for care in our  language). If you care that much,  its  about thinking about the other person's  needs, not your own. A relationship IMO  should (but most of the time isn't)  about being together to tend to the  other's needs. In the end people find  themselves in a relationship to fufill  selfish desires of feeling loved. And  the wrath of posession will befall a  couple eventually.<br />
<br />
If you want your partner simply to have  them, even if your posession lasts a  life time, one of you shall die, and  you will feel the pain of losing your  trophy. Posession doesn't win. Nor does  infaturation. The superficial qualities  about people (hair, skin, physical  attractiveness) will die away in sure  time. I think people should be careful  about why they get into a relationship  because the reality of it is that looks  will fade and you'll be stuck with  someone you have no reason to want  anymore and alas you're unhappy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Love wins. If you're in it for the  desire to see them happy above all  else, comprimise can come (if both are  comprimising to the philosophy)  even  in death,  the pain of not being loved  isn't there because that wasn't what  the relationship was about. The pain of  losing your beloved trophy or cute  boyfriend/husband isn't there either  because it too wasn't apart of the  relationship.  If they died happy, you  can feel complete not violated.<br />
<br />
...but I'm just mindlessly rambling a  crazy idea aren't I?<br />
<br />
<br />
okay then, to the Sally/Amy rant!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay, so I'm in the middle of a  messageboard conversation, and I get  warned by a moderator because he says  "I don't have the right to say what  pairings people think are and are not  better", trying to defend Sonic/Amy  fans I "lashed" out on.<br />
<br />
...idiots.<br />
<br />
Okay, first of all, I wasn't directing  it to all Sonic/Amy fans just the  Sonic/Amy fans who don't know who Mina  and Sally are. The topic says which  pairing is BETTER! in order to know  what's BETTER you need to at least need  to know what the heck you're comparing.  Does saying "Sally Acorn is prettier  than Barbie Koala... but I dunno who  Barbie Koala is (let alone what she  looks like)!!!123"<br />
<br />
NO!<br />
<br />
It makes no sense to try comparing  something with something else you don't  know. So why am I being lashed out on  just for saying these people have no  right to be going to that topic to say  who's better when they don't know every  dynamic the topic started introduced to  know which is the best?<br />
<br />
Simple<br />
<br />
and.... its sad. How overrated Amy Rose  is. You have so many people who would  go through the depths of stupidty just  to defend an aneorexic, hobbyless, pink  hedgehog who's next to Sally on the  "lacking self worth" shelf. Yet she's  "grrl p0wer" she's "adoreable" and so  forth. I don't mean the comics, or even  the STI video games of Amy (and as vain  as she was I could appreciate her  more), don't get me wrong. But I can't  STAND this pink hedgehog I see in the  games now.<br />
<br />
***First off, before anyone tells me  Amy's got a hobby in shopping, she in  Sonic adventure does it to kill time,  relying on Sonic to give her something  fun to do. The fact she implied she's  tried to find something fun was  redeeming though, I think she was  merely saying that in the end Sonic  brings fun. I didn't see it as her  lacking self worth, just stating a  fact. But that was then...<br />
<br />
and now...<br />
<br />
 She ju... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ On a pretty good SatAM site, Mike had  revealed how the storylines (for SatAM  and Archie) are in fact tied to Sonic  Team.<br />
<br />
It appears that SatAM and Archie were a  joint collaboration between SoA, DiC  and Sonic Team.<br />
<br />
Key word: Sonic Team.<br />
<br />
together, they made a world, a  storyline, profiles and basically the  foundational story. So, Archie and  SatAM are both in a sense Sonic Team  universes. Thus purists still have no  reason to leap for joy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another pet peeve of mine:<br />
<br />
"Mina is copywritten to Archie"<br />
<br />
"Sally is copywritten to DiC"<br />
<br />
"Amy/Sonic/Knuckles is copywritten to  Sega"<br />
<br />
<br />
No offense to people who do this, but  initially this was done to establish  some sort of rank amongst characters.  Which was closest to being a Sega  character, and I find it quite stupid.  Ask any Archie writer if they'll take  your fanfic or comic and display it and  they'll tell you no.<br />
<br />
Why? Because Sega would take rights to  it all. ANY character in the comics for  instance have rights taken to Sega. The  writers answer to these guys, and the  characters are theirs. Sally, Mina and  any other non game character have their  copyrights to SEGA, not their comic's  publishing company.<br />
<br />
Blah, quickly typed something in my  head up. Its sort of funny. How people  segregate characters and such. Much  like racism and stuff. I suppose if it  can happen with cartoons, people have  no reason to wonder how mankind finds  their way in doing it in real life.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sure I'm not, but has anyone gone  to look at a fanfiction,  be it on  fanfiction.net, or some other  website... and found everything  extremely OOC amonst the characters?  Especially with... you guessed it  pairing fics.<br />
<br />
Whether its X-men's Jean grey acting  like a cold hearted individual who  wants to leech on poor Rouge, or Sonic  the hedgehog's Amy Rose turning into  the poor, abused, sympathetic  character, there's probably NO comic,  game, or work that doesn't meet such an  annoying trend of writing.<br />
<br />
fanfictions are fun, fanfictions are  cool. They can be captivating works of  art without illustrations, the words  and descriptions are the brush, and the  plot and characterizations. They allow  one to use their artistic lisences to  tell a story... a great concept, that I  think people in general are abusing.<br />
<br />
I do not "hate" the people who do this,  I do not have a problem with anyone's  character content,  today, I'm merely  going to focus on the fics, on my  favorite comic/cartoon/blah blah  blah...Sonic.<br />
<br />
*sidenote*<br />
<br />
Now, to be frank, I don't know why I  put up with Sonic games, Final Fantasy  gives a lot more worth to the cash you  chuck out for these games. Sonic Heroes  in my mind was a reguritated peice with  same levels, gameplay, stale plot and  characters who don't do the slightest  developing, and anyone wonder why Knux  left the island to adventure?<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay, so now we have clear that even  though I'm a Sonic fan, I have to admit  his games aren't the best, and I'm not  even a fan of him because of his games.<br />
<br />
*end sidenote*<br />
<br />
<br />
When I go into the fanfiction.net  category for Sonic, I usually end up  slapping my forehead thinking "why did  I waste my time?" Hope I suppose. So to  continue, lets make clear what the heck  I find wrong with Sonic fanfictions.<br />
<br />
The first thing is, is that they can't  decide what continuity they want to  write a fic on. They slap in characters  without research, or any second  thoughts, confusing the reader. If you  are writing these fics for yourself,  don't make them public folks, if you  are giving them to the public for us to  read, do us a favor and at least help  us understand what the heck you are  talking about. Are you reffering to the  comics? show? STI games? Sonic Team  games? Sonic X? Its important to make a  good note in specifying this so whe  know how the character is supposed to  behave, as the characters can and have  behaved differently in different  continuities.<br />
<br />
<b> Amy Rose oriented, or Sonic/Amy  fanfictions </b> <br />
<br />
Now normally, these fics take the cake  for OOCness.<br />
<br />
First of all, how come Amy wants to go  on an adventure. Her reasons for going  usually consist of trying to get Sonic  to marry her, in the end she is dragged  into an adventure. Amy KNOWS this is  how it goes, she's approved of this  admitting it in adventure. She knows by  following Sonic around adventures are  bound to happen. She doesn't have  enough self worth to look to herself  for a good time, Sonic must define it  for her, so a solo story would be hard  to come by unless Amy finding her own  self worth was developed prior. The  problem is just that: it isn't. So its  OOC, to conviently change  characterizations with NO developments.<br />
<br />
An implied excuse within the writing is  that Amy says she'll get Sonic to  respect her. Yes, but Sonic adventure  was years ago, we have a couple more  games out to expand on what Amy means.  She is more aggressive in her approach  to getting Sonic. In SA, her little  fantasy of Sonic turned into a full  blown "marry me" craze that made the  Sonic chasing more renown. Has she done  much in Sonic's presence in terms of  fighting and aiding,  no. She's become  more bold and aggressive towards  everyone in regards to her "romance"  with Sonic so that they respect it.  That's that. The end. At least IMO.<br />
<br />
So now that people know why these  abrupt "kick butt to impress the  readers/Sonic OOC fics" annoy me a bit,  lets go on to SonAmy romance.In the  cast, it usually consists of Sonic,  Tails, Rouge, Amy, Mina, Shadow and  princess Sally.<br />
<br />
Tails: The "boy's" best friend.<br />
<br />
In SonAmy fics, Tails tends to be the  boy who says "Stop being macho Sonic!  You love Amy don't you?" He's the close  friend who suspects Sonic loves her,  support her with him, and wants to pry  it out of Sonic.<br />
<br />
Again, this is OOC, please play your  games.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> He approves of Sonic/Amy, he's happy  with Amy's approach and wants her with  Sonic.<br />
<br />
 Why oh why then  did he try to tell  Amy he doesn't want to prepare for a  future with her through Emerl in  battle? Why oh why was he annoyed in  SA2 when sh... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately I've been handed these questions  such as "OMG why do you like Mina" or  "Sally ROX" or "Amy's c00l!"<br />
<br />
Save it, I don't care, I don't like the  comic interpretation of Sally. You can  go to a board and talk about loving  Sally Acorn or Amy Rose, but that's it.  I'm so sick and tired of people trying  to convert me into debating on behalf  of their girl. Its not happenin'. For  now, Mina's the one I choose to  support, not Sally, not Amy.<br />
<br />
And due to sooo many people wanting to  know WHY I don't think Sally or Amy are  hot for Sonic I'll just say my peice  here. Please ignore this journal if you  can't bear reading someone else's  opinion:<br />
<br />
Sally: I don't support her with Sonic,  in SatAM nor Archie. Some people need  to get over it. I'm not going to change  my opinion anytime soon, if ever, so  find someone else to rant for your  "precious" princess.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't like Sonic/Sally in SatAM  because Sally was consumed on trying to  make him someone she could love, or  acting in a way that didn't consider  his feelings (trying to make Sonic be  more of a gentlemen by using Griff? Not  caring about how upset he'd feel?, If  Sally truly loved Sonic, why have the  urge to morph him into something else  if she appreciated who he was already?  Why make him jealous if she's supposed  to be the loving girl who cares about  how he feels?  Then there's Sonic who  basically just ran off on missions, not  caring about the danger as much as he  should if at all, and thus not caring  about how Sally could feel based on his  actions. Lets also touch on Antoine,  whom competed with Sonic for Sally.  When Sally points out she isn't  comitted to Sonic sometime in the  continuity of the show, he runs off  sulking and upset. Not considering  Sally's happiness when the frustration  over his rivalry with Ant blows up in  her face, no happiness considered by  respecting Sally's desicion, just an  immature reaction that showed his  interest was in having the "prized"  princess of the show, not to make a  serious commitment in making her happy,  and vice versa.  They need not have a  committed relationship to one another,   so they need not be together. They are  obviously not but so loving and  committed to each other's needs. Can  they cheer each other up and stuff?  Certainly, but the way the relationship  was handled makes me feel they weren't  committed to one another's needs. Its  one thing to do something, its another  to be comitted to it. The way it was  handled made me feel the good times  they shared were merely something to  advance their own interests in having  one another. I like SatAM Sally, don't  get me wrong, but I just don't think  Sonic's right for her.<br />
<br />
In Archie, its the same problem in  regards to the relationship. Sonic  wants to run off on adventure, Sally  wants to rule, neither of them comitted  to each other's needs for comprimise to  happen. Not only that but in my mind,  Sally is evidently posessive of Sonic,  and he is posessive of her. When Sally  thought she lost Sonic to Mina, she was  a cold, biting, resentful brat. She  didn't at all consider how he felt, and  didn't consider his happiness. Instead  Sally ignored, evaded, and tried  cutting Sonic out of a mission. That  showes her desire to have Sonic, and  not see him happy. Why? Because she's  warm to Sonic when she can have him,  but once she can't most desire to  persue him with an attractive attitude  and mindset is gone. for the longest  time, Sally had always thought she  could have Sonic, as in: SHE'D be the  girl he'd end up with if anyone. So,  until the love triangle she would  always be open to him. Once her  ideology of having him is taken, all is  out the window and she is a cold,  biting brat.<br />
<br />
Need more?<br />
<br />
Go look at 134 and 138. Princess Pants  is trying to force Sonic into staying  in the palace and not fight, so she can  have someone to rule at her side and to  protect their future as a couple. In  the end she abuses him when he refuses,   to resume his duty for the better of  the people. Her desire to ensure she  has Sonic cuts away at thinking about  what could make him happy. An example  of trying to make sure she can "have"  Sonic, without considering what makes  him happy/what he wants. Sure she can  be kind to Sonic, but you have to know  the motive behind it. The idea she can  do this to get Sonic, not "merely to  make him happy." That's posession to  me, not love. As the focus is "having"  the charachter, not being committed to  their happiness and at the very least  consdiering comprimise.<br />
<br />
So now I probably have a dozen Amy fans  giggling in their seats. Well you can  stop too because I'm not a Sonamy fan  either. <br />
<br />
Amy runs in pursuit of Sonic because  he's her hero, and such. She wants to  force him into marrying her and  comitting. He has made it clear his  answer is no, but she continues.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Again, the true continuity of Sonic is  based off who made the character and  storylines<br />
<br />
*cut and paste old rant based off new  info read*<br />
<br />
The game universe came second, and  Sonic Team...perhaps even the entire  company of Sega will never truly know  how to perfectly interpret his  character, supporting characters,  storyline etc...<br />
<br />
because that was already made by Mary  Garnet<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sclassic.ssonicnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=442">[link]</a><br />
<br />
hee hee hee, Sonic the hedgehog was an  idea from this woman IIRC inspiried by  the adventures of her husband. After  discussing the matter with other fans  aware of this...it appears Sonic was  bought from the family by Sega and  given a physical appearance by Ohshima,  the games programmed by Naka. But  neither Naka or Ohshima made the  storyline which would be a foundation  for Sega to use nor the other  universes. That credit goes to you miss  Garnet, not Naka, Ohshima or any of  them. I think I see now. She's the one  we should be thanking. Not only for  Sonic, but for many supporting cast  members he has. Sonic Team will NEVER  be able to be the truest form of Sonic  EVER, they interpret her ideas like all  others. And its not like Sega ever got  detailed ideas from its truest source,  because she died before she could see  Sonic in a game with a storyline or  anything.They added things like all  others, So each is no better than the  other. All universes are based off of  HER. So none of the Sega oriented  universes are official. None could ever  be. The maker of Sonic is dead.Killed  in a car crash in the 1970s. The game  universe comes second, Mary's comes  first.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thus no Sonic Team isn't official. <br />
<br />
Sonic is about 57 years old (while most  only count his 13 years with Sega), his  first universe established before Sega  even took him. No universe will ever  from what I've been told be able to to  say they have the truest idea. Mary's  ideas were the truest, she created the  character and concept that was a  foundation even for Sega itself.  Unfortuneatly she died in a car crash  in the 1970s, so there is no way she  could team up with any group of  creatives.<br />
<br />
Not only that, but she gave him a  personality to match her boyfriend.   Its rather confusing, but I'll continue  researching this angle so that we can  figure out more about how Sonic came to  be. But for now we can see this woman  made him. Hopefully she'll gain some  respect.<br><br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hee hee! This shall be my research  corner. As I uncover (well try) what  happened in the past.  I don't think  Sonic Team is official, and well if you  do...don't bother replying to this. I'm  not saying Sonic Team sucks, or anyone  who likes it suck. I simply think its  not a holier than thou universe that is  about as official than every other  universe out there. If you don't like  what I type don't respond or I'll  report you. This doesn't promote hate  rather it tries to prove the need to  see thing as equals.<br />
<br />
"Flashback to 1990: after five years of  playing David to Nintendo's Goliath,  Sega was poised to sling the proverbial  stone. The company needed a mascot  character who could simultaneously  embody their hip, bold new attitude and  run nose-to-nose with Nintendo's  plumbing prince. Pengo and Alex Kidd  probably weren't going to cut it, so a  contest was held among employees to  come up with a suitable character. The  submissions ranged from a retarded  bulldog to an all-American wolf to a  freaky little man in PJ's. (That last  entry does look a bit familiar though,  doesn't he?)"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ghz.emulationzone.org/sonic/index.html">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Looking at this quote SEGA had already  asked what   would be Sonic's  characterization prior to members of  Sonic Team coming into the picture. as  it says the company needed someone to  embody a series of personality  traits...THEN they hold a contest.<br />
<br />
Of course Sonic Team, Archie and other  universes all ultimately work for SEGA,  whether their mediums are published by  the company or not. So...what member of  SEGA actually is responsible for  Sonic's character? It said SEGA wanted  someone to embody a series of character  traits, but any names? The higher ups  at SEGA of course. But many people  overlook them at forums especially when  to testing this arguement out because  no names come to mind.<br />
<br />
"The year is 1990, and Hayao Nakayama  (Sega's president at that time) wants a  mascot who would be to Sega what Mickey  Mouse is to Disney."<br />
<br />
need another quote?<br />
<br />
"In 1991, Hayao Nakayama, the chairman  of Sega, decided to develop a mascot  that would do for his company what  Mickey Mouse had done for Walt Disney:  personify Sega with a  universally-recognized icon. Most of  his designers submitted drawings of  hopping animals such as kangeroos and  rabbits, but Nakayama settled on Naoto  Oshimo's stylized hedgehog, and Sonic  The Hedgehog was born."<br />
<br />
<br />
source: <a href="http://www.archiecomics.com/sonic/allabout_sonic.html">[link]</a><br />
<br />
  "a mascot character who could  simultaneously <b> embody </b> their hip, bold  new attitude?"  and the quote "Hayao  Nakayama, the chairman of Sega, decided  to develop a mascot that would do for  his company what Mickey Mouse had done  for Walt Disney: <b> personify </b> Sega with  a universally-recognized icon." Sound  similar regarding who came up with  Sonic's characterization?<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
By reading these two quotes you should  see what I'm getting at...Nakayama. you  see when defining what is the true  "Sonic" and his true "continuity" two  things have to be considered:<br />
<br />
Who was truly responsible for his  characterization?<br />
<br />
and...<br />
<br />
Who was truly responsible for his  storyline?<br />
<br />
<br />
Who is clearly responsible for Sonic's  characterization would be him. Due to  the fact Nakayama was the specific  higher up at SEGA who actually thought  of the characteristics he wanted people  working for him to embody. Ohshima  embodied what Nakayama wanted in the  form of a hedgehog. The problem is a  physical characteristic doesn't define  the true characterization of Sonic.   Thus  Ohshima did not establish the  foundational characterization for  Sonic. Nakayama did.  However Nakayama  isn't stated as a Sonic Team member, he  was simply the one credited with  handing Sonic Team Sonic to embody and  put into a game.<br />
<br />
The problem with people is that they  see Sonic for what he is in his design.  His characterization would be the same  regardless of that though.  And all  universes will follow a design, so  there really is no one that's more  official than another because the  artistic ideas will always be the same.  Its the characterization that  determines which version of the  character Sonic is the truth. The  answer is that there is none. As  Sonic's developer regarding  characterization wasn't a member of  Sonic Team or any other universe.<br />
<br />
<br />
But what about foundational storyline?<br />
<br />
The truth is from what I gathered that  there is none. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sonic-cult.org/articles/storyline/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
<br />
According to this before the Nights  into dreams era Sonic Team had no input  into the storyline. The storyline was  composed of two different sources SoJ  and SoA.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ "I go for SEGA version because the  others are made up!"<br />
<br />
A quote taken directly from a forum.  Haven't we all seen this sort of thing  a million times throughout our  experiences as Sonic fans? Probably, if  you are a member of majority of the  fanbase you have, perhaps. The problem  with such a quote is how much ignorance  it actually holds, and how ignorant it  can make people who want to learn about  Sonic.<br />
<br />
"It's not SonicTeam's is it?"<br />
<br />
The first thing a lot of people think  about (especially Sonic Team purists)  is if the storyline of a continuity of  Sonic is made by Sonic Team. Otherwise  they deem it unofficial.<br />
<br />
"Did Sonic Team create those comix?"<br />
<br />
Sonic Team doesn't have to make a  single universe to be official.<br />
<br />
<br />
"You know why they are called Sonic  Team?They created thier character Sonic  The Hedgehog"<br />
<br />
First misconception, the is the idea  Sonic Team made Sonic. Sonic Team  established his design and the games  he'd be featured in. The Sega  exectuives were the ones who made  Sonic's character and storyline, not  Sonic Team. Any true fan of the content  of Sonic's character would be able to  love him for the content of his  character, not for a mere design. So in  truth, Sega executives made the content  of Sonic's character, and the  storyline. Not Sonic Team.<br />
<br />
<br />
"SonicTeam is sponsered by SEGA."<br />
<br />
This is actually something people say  to back up the idea Sonic Team is the  true universe under Sega.Sonic Team  games are published by SEGA, that's the  only real difference between it and  other universes. The author of Sailor  Moon made a manga, and in America its  published by Tokyopop, but the anime is  not published through Tokyopop, because  Tokyopop publishes manga not anime. So  in America DiC, and later on another  company publishes Sailor Moon in an  anime. They're both ideas of the  adventures of Sailor Moon, but they're  published through different companies,  because one focuses on a manga the  other anime. Same with Sega, Sega works  with publishing games. So they can  easily publish the games created by  their mascot, they even did this with  STI games, games representing a  seperate continuity of Sonic being put  into a game. It was different because  they handled the interpretations of  what Sega exectuvies wanted differently  like say SatAM did. Sonic Team  interpreted it another way. Both get  published by Sega because they are  GAMES, not because one is favored over  the other. Sega only publishes games,  it allows other companies with  expirience in publishing other media,  to publish the non game  continuities.But the team of other  creatives who interpret and work with  the non game continuities based on how  they see what Sega wanted still have to  abide by SEGA regulations, mainly  Archie. Thus Archie especially has an  idea of what Sega wants the route of  the characters to go even better than  Sonic Team.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thus SEGA is just as much of if not  more in control of the comics in  comparision to the games. Sonic Team  works/worked for SEGA yes, but they  weren't the executives that created the  charachter, they're as much a part of  SEGA as all the other universes.Well,  SEGA publishes games, not comics, or  cartoons, which makes them able to  directly publish a game but not  something like a comic. The only  difference, is the publishers of the  mediums of continuity are of different.  SEGA still has control of all plots,  and developments of the charachters.  The creatives of Archie still work for  SEGA, and the profit still goes to  SEGA. Thus the creatives work for SEGA  just like Sonic Team.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I am the father of Sonic, I originally  created the character and concept."<br />
 ~Yuji Naka<br />
<br />
<br />
He originally created the design, and  the games but that's it. If he's trying  to imply anything further, he's lying.  I'm being respectful about this, simply  stating a fact, what's really  happening. How's it disrespectful to  tell anyone that 1+1=2? <br />
<br />
<br />
Onto another topic. The comics make  adaptions to Sonic Team's physical  designs for advertising reasons, but  that's simply a physical  charachteristic. Sonic Team themselves  developed no foundational content of  Sonic's charachter that the other  universes must follow. Sonic Team has  no control over the content of Sonic's  charachter in other continuities (save  Sonic X), the only charachteristics  provided to other creatives are the  basic ideas the SEGA executives made.<br />
<br />
Yuji Naka simply developed the games  and designs. He was not behind  charachterization or storylines. The  team of creatives he leads is called  "Sonic Team". So what? When they  initially came out they didn't even  have a name. They could name themselves  anything they wanted, but they chose to  call themselve... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ !<br /><br />Okay comission time! I think I'll open  myself to comissions after all I wanna  help my friend buy everyone a surprise  so yeah. If I do a comission it'll be  better than a lot of the sloppy junk in  my gallery. I'll put some real effort  into it promise<br />
<br />
So basically this is how it goes:<br />
<br />
Sally Acorn: $10... I'll actually draw  her. But ANY pic with Sally in it will  be at least 7-10 bucks.<br />
<br />
SonSal OR SonAmy: $20... high price?  Well I'm by no means fond of either. As  the matter of fact once you have these  pics I dun even want them in my galler  (I could probably keep a few of the  SonAmy pics) So I'll give you the link  to the pic, once you confirm having  this picture I'm deleting it off DA for  sure if its a SonSal pic.<br />
<br />
one character pic: 5 bucks or less  depends on how complicated the design  it doesn't have to be StH related  either, it can be any character<br />
<br />
group pic: If there's two characters  then it'll be around 7 dollars,  anything else will range from about  8-10 bucks.<br />
<br />
B&W= + $0<br />
<br />
Color= + $3<br />
<br />
If you ask for B&W drawings no extra  charge, but if you ask for color that's  an extra 3 bucks.<br />
<br />
Sketch: $1-2 *shrugs*<br />
<br />
Sketch of SonSal or SonAmy: $5-8<br />
<br />
<br />
all payments will be through paypal and  if not then through some other arranged  method of payments.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://jayu-karisutary.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jayu-karisutary.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="jayu-karisutary" title="jayu-karisutary" /></a> Will be taking the payments as well.  So we'd be needing to make arrangements  with him for payment. Dun worry that  shouldn't be too big a problem.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay first off, I think its time I had  a little rant of my own. These rants  are going to be based off of Sonic  related stuff (my next rant will  probably be on "shojo anime" and how  most of the popular stuff is NOT good  for girls so if you've got issues with  demeaning shojo anime stay tune for  next 'issue').<br />
<br />
P.S: This is a rant for MY journal, my  comfort, in other words. Do not get on  my case about grammar, this is like my  lil' diary journal thingy..not English  class.<br />
<br />
..anyways..I'm going talk about things  I feel are currently misconceptions. No  real order completely random.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b> Mina/Sonic=never happening </b><br />
<br />
	To this most would probably say this  because they're hearing that in fact  "The love triangle is over" by Mr. Gray  (artist at archie) The statement went  something like this..<br />
<br />
<i> THE LOVE TRIANGLE IS OVER. I REPEAT -  THE LOVE TRIANGLE IS OVER. MOVE ALONG.  THE WHITE ZONE IS FOR THE IMMEDIATE  LOADING AND UNLOADING OF PASSENGERS  ONLY </i><br />
<br />
And to those people I personally  beleive you didn't read the whole post.  A part that interested me in particular  was this<br />
<br />
<i> Thats part of the fun of waiting - you  dont know whats going to happen. What  we dont know is what her relationship  is like with Ash, how he is outside of  what little we've seen of him and what  that is like in relation to her  previous relationship/current close  friendship with Sonic. Those things and <u>  anything else with Sonic will be  touched upon as time goes on. <b>But for  right now </b> - the horse is dead so stop  beating it.</u> There are other things to  discuss in the book you know <u> Things  will eventually happen that will still  develop Mina's relationship with Sonic  and the rest of the cast and crew but  for all intents and purposes, the love  triangle is indeed finito and the story  is indeed moving onwards. Moving  onwards does not mean totally getting  rid of the characters and thier  previous relationships, but moreso  evolving them </u>. That goes with Mina  too. </i><br />
	In my mind any romantic triangles  Sonic's been in are not active for  right now. And it'd be a lie to say  they were, Mina's already dealing with  Ash, and Sally's practically ditched  Sonic after the 134 incident.  Personally I see a Mina/Ash/Sonic  triangle coming up in the future  when  time goes on, whatever feelings she has  for Sonic will developed on. But not  now, the comic has more things to touch  on this year like Bunnie's past history  etc, love triangles aren't the focus of  the story. <br />
	I might also add that I wouldn't be  surprised if taking the girls away from  Sonic for awhile is to help them  establish their own independance. Did  anyone see the Sally Mini Series? A  series that moved to develop Sally  independantly from anything she  established with Sonic? At the end of  the series she's established having a  new relationship she was in fact happy  with and is seeming to move on with  Geoffery. Which helps establish the  idea she's not simply "Sonic's girl"  and the mini series developed on what  she could do. Why can't Mina undergo  these things? When Sally goes with  St.Jhon and develops her own interests  in a mini series its okay and she's  making herself look more independant,  do that with Mina and the sky is  falling..ahem why?<br />
	Anyway I'll be very interested in  seeing how her relationships with Sonic  and Ash go in the future but again,  don't expect romance this year, and  perhaps a lot of next year. I noticed  he said "for now" the horse is dead. In  this case the horse is the triangle/  any romantic issues Sonic has to  undergo. Its a inactive issue for now.  But in the future it'll probably be  dealt with again but its dead for now,  kick back and relax Sally and Mina fans  because you will in fact have a lot of  time to do fanfictions.<br />
<br />
<b> Sonic/Sally is going to happen because  its featured in M:25YL </b><br />
<br />
	There's a lot of contraversy over how  definite the future we see actually is.  I can rightfully say though that Mr.  Bollers will probably follow it as he  did establish Nicole's roots the same  as it'll be in M:25YL.However Mr.  Penders told you that Sonic/Sally will  happen, but at a price.I talked to  someone very close to Ken and is the  only one who really speaks on his  behalf regarding Ken's  feelings/interpretations to particular  issues. But before we get into that Ken  directly told fans :<br />
<br />
<i> "The only answers I've seen deal  primarily with who Sonic ends up <br />
<br />
with for a life partner. Personally, I  don't believe he'd end up being a King  with Sally as his mate. I went with  that premise, however, because the  majority of readership views that  pairing as inevitable much like  Superman's fans did with Lois Lane." </i><br />
<br />
	You are only seeing Sonic/Sally in  M:25YL because fans feel its inevitable  for th... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now this sort of issue has come up with  almost every single thing that I've  read or watched, thats part of an  ongoing series. Presenting ladies and  gentlemen...the slap on plot! <br />
<br />
The slap on plot usually has a plot  with no warning come to the surface,  developments in abrupt relationships  nonexsistant but the final result is in  your lap and things were not at all  like they were last time you saw it.  Now this idea obviously has the ability  to change the status quo a lot but the  question is: Is "this" a way to really  a good way to do it or should things be  dealt with a bit more to ensure the  fans some justice?<br />
<br />
My answer is... slap ons usually do not  give a person a chance to bond with the  plot/relationship. How do you expect  the changes to grow on the veiwers, be  accepted, be enjoyed and to have an   established a connection/bond with the  veiwers if they've never gotten a  chance to really develop that bond with  the plot/pairing since you slapped it  on? They didn't grow with the  developments so its not very easy if  possible (depending on the person) to  simply like everything they see dumped  on them.<br />
<br />
I'm going to say that I've been looking  into the Sonic comics and to do that I  have to be on my way to the comic  store.. y'know where you pick up your  occasional Inuyasha <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> here and a little  Ah my Goddess there. Eventually you  gotta think "what about American  comics?" So I've been grasping onto  these Archie Betty and Veronica  things.. didn't really attract  me, got  more thrills from the Kodocha no Omocha  manga starring 12-15 year old kids. Hey  Archie fans, not to say the comic you  like sucks I just really didn't connect  with what I read when I did. <br />
<br />
<br />
I can hardly remember what the heck it  was I was reading, all I knew was that  it wasn't for me... So new comic.  Okay  so how about the Powerpuff girls? Well  I'll admit I actually every once in a  blue moon watch them on TV, buuuut  thats not enough to keep me buying  their comics (as money doesn't grow on  trees and there's a bazillion other  ways to spend my it). <br />
<br />
Then there was Lara Croft. Now for some  of those guys out there who like a girl  wearing short pants and having big  boobies move around a lot, feel free to  buy her comic. I remember vividly that  there was some crash, she trained, and  a few other parts stick out <br />
<br />
Random guy: were they her boobies what  were sticking out?<br />
<br />
o___o I meant the storyline folks but  ya never know.<br />
<br />
*nudges C0nker* so.. dunno about me but  you may like Lara.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="XD" title="XD" /> jk! <br />
<br />
Anyway the comic I bought managed to  elaborate on what I think was Lara's  past, but...I didn't feel like the  comic was doing much to allow the  veiwers to connect with her character.  So while I knew partially of her past,  Lara and me just weren't connecting, so  I'll stick to her two movies. While  some of you guys... and girls can keep  your eyes stuck to her bust and rear.<br />
<br />
(Lara fans don't flame me, I'm joking)<br />
<br />
That was yeeeears back and now the only  comic I really have on my American  comic plate is Sonic.<br />
<br />
Now to inform those who have no idea:  Sonic went to save Earth and got  blasted to another end of the universe.  So he returns home after his journey  from the other end of the universe to  see :<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> His main love interest turned into a  bawling abusive "psycopath." Now when  someone so much as kicked Sonic, Sally  acted like he was being burned alive,  and suffering from a very strong case  of ebola because she thought he was  dead that year he was in space... and  it was so unbearable (inset fake  tears). But a couple issues before she  contradicted herself by saying she knew  he was alive. I think her insane state  right now is really working on her  mind. Then if you thought that was  interesting she abuses him after he  tells her he can't rule with her  because he has to...fight for the  people so they don't all die! Yeah Sal  he's been doing that for soo long I'd  think you would've gotten it by now.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> You have Mina who nearly dies for  Sonic before he leaves for his space  trip, now trying to keep things steady  with a guy we never heard of: Ash, and  why not, last she checked she didn't  think Sonic loved her.  I can see why  she'd want to try to move on, that  doesn't mean the writers should expect  fans to love this slap on pairing  though, as it could've waited somet... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now whether you like Mina hate Sonic or  Inuyasha or whatever the differences  people have that sparks stuff between  other people one thing I think we  almost all can agree to not liking  is...Mary-sues. Yes that's right! And  thus has been created an Anti  Marysue/Marysue Awareness club<br />

<br />
End the production of the Mary-sues! I  know some of you must want to when you  look at a fic and see a character  completely cheapening the story with  the Author's obvious attempts to make  them perfect for the story, guy, girl  or whatever. So hope you guys and gals  out there might enjoy a club as such. I  know I will.<br><br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay everyone, I'm back with more Sonic  the hedgehog news. Now if you don't  read the comic this will not really  interest you, but if your like me and  like Mina or DO like the comics feel  free to listen.<br />
<br />
Karl from what SHQ's Cookirini says was  asked a number of questions about the  characters and soon to be stories  coming up in Archie some of which will  probably interest you and without  further ado the questions that were  answered by the writer of the Sonic  Comic... Karl Bollers!<br />
<br />
Questions were by Starshine and Answers  were from Karl Bollers (no duh)<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello Starshine,<br />
<br />
To answer your questions:<br />
<br />
1.) Question:Is or is not Mobius 25YL  an alternate future?<br />
<br />
Answer: Mobius 25 Years Later is one of  many possible SONIC THE HEDGEHOG  futures. DC Comics never says that the  future presented in the LEGION OF  SUPERHEROES is their official future  and neither did Marvel Comics in their  GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY comic. To do  otherwise would greatly detract from  current stories and affect whether or  not fans care about what happens to the  characters in the present day. Readers  who like connecting dots between the  past and present would be entertained,  but those who enjoy suspense would not.  Like the Terminator movies state, "The  future is not yet written..."<br />
<br />
2.) Question: With all these debates  springing up about Mina and Sally, I  suppose the question amongst both sides  is: Will the triangle matter be touched  again? <br />
<br />
Answer: The triangle matter will be  touched upon again, but not the way  anyone expects. Mina fans won't want to  miss SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #134.<br />
<br />
3.) Question: Looking at two boards  people wanted info on Mina's parents...  What's Mina's mom's name for one thing,  Drazen calls her robo mom and everyone  else plain ol' Mrs. Mongoose o_o <br />
<br />
Answer:Mina's mom's name is Isabella.  The reason it has never been mentioned  in a script was because neither Mina  nor Sonic would ever have reason to  call her by her first name and I didn't  think it was necessary to shoehorn it  in. <br />
<br />
4.) Question: Another question I saw  pop up was whether or not Mina's dad's  a mongoose because he doesn't look like  Mina in the eyes of some fans. <br />
<br />
Answer: Mina's late father was a indeed  a mongoose.<br />
<br />
5.) Question:Who runs/leads the Freedom  Fighters: Sonic or Sally?<br />
<br />
Answer: Since the series' status quo  has changed from a small group of  ragtag rebels fighting an oppressor to  three empires waging war, there are no  longer any freedom fighters. Instead,  the heroes of Acorn and Station Square  are viewed more as soldiers. And since  Princess Sally outranks Sonic in terms  of political power, he'd have to  technically listen to her. Technically.<br />
<br />
6.) Question:How old should we consider  the character Amy Rose? Some say she's  16, others 13, others 10. <br />
<br />
Answer:According to Sonic Heroes, Amy  is 12.<br />
<br />
7.) Question:Will we ever learn about  Bunnie's past before joining the  Freedom Fighters (heh many fans like  using the Cream sister of Bunnie  complex so it brought about the  question in me I guess)? <br />
<br />
Answer:I currently have a story in the  works that delves into Bunnie's  pre-Knothole life.<br />
<br />
8.) Question:Why is Tails the chosen  one or will we find that out soon? <br />
<br />
Answer:The reason for Tails being  referred to as the Chosen One will be  revealed in an upcoming 2-parter.<br />
<br />
9.) Question:I also heard Fiona Fox is  a Freedom Fighter, is that true? (yet  another rumor) <br />
<br />
Answer:Fiona Fox serves the Kingdom of  Acorn, but like I said, there are no  official freedom fighters.<br />
<br />
10.) Question:I also heard Amy's with  the Chaotix now? Is she going to be  giving up Knothole and go to the  floating island? <br />
<br />
Answer:Amy was assigned to work with  the Chaotix during the current "Home" arc  due to the unique circumstances of that  situation, but she won't be joining the  Chaotix any time soon...<br />
<br />
^v^ well there are the questions and  that concludes Miko's DA news for  today. Mina, Tails, Bunnie and Amy fans  will perhaps get a bit of closure and  pleasure from these answers.<br />
<br />
Anyway whaddya think about the news?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone its Miko and I just came  back from Ken's board. Many people have  been using the arguement that Sonic and  Sally will OFFICIALLY be together  because they are in 25YL. HOWEVER Today  Karl Bollers writer of the Archie Sonic  stories came out of a meeting with  Gabre and told this:<br />
<br />
"Hey, Sonic fans! Just wanted to say  Happy New Year and thanks for your  loyal support during this past year and  in previous ones.<br />
<br />
Hope you're enjoying the new direction  we've taken beginning with issue #130.  We at Archie hope to make Sonic even  bigger and better in 2004 than it was  in 2003.<br />
<br />
Sonic Editor J.F. Gabrie and I had a  lengthy story conference this weekend  to discuss upcoming storylines in the  current SONIC series.<br />
<br />
Regarding the continuity of Mobius 25  Years Later, it was decided by Justin  and myself that even though the future  depicted will be the one seen in the  SONIC: IN YOUR FACE SPECIAL it is  indeed an ALTERNATE future, similar to  DC's Elseworld series.<br />
<br />
That isn't to say that it won't be  action-packed entertainment. Believe us  when we say that M:25YL is going to  really deliver! <br />
<br />
And, sure, Sonic and Sally might not  end up being king and queen in the  future.<br />
<br />
But who knows...<br />
<br />
...they just might!<br />
<br />
Peace<br />
<br />

<br />
And that's the link if you don't  beleive me!It official, 25 YL is NOT  official and neither is IYF as they're  keeping open the possibilities of Sonic  marrying someone else. GO MINA GO AMY  you STILL HAVE A CHANCE! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got 300 hits... and while I should be  happy right now I'm not. Why?<br />
<br />
<br />
Whether you like pairing ____ or like  characters _____ or like ice cream  asparagus or fruit, one thing probably  everyone doesn't like...is an art  theif. Now I'm not going to say I hate  this person, I don't know what kind of  character he truly is. But the one  thing I do hate is his actions. I hate  the fact that this person decided to  steal my artwork, that I worked on a  looong time ago and then snagged it and  claimed it is as their own.<br />
<br />
Perhaps no one knows what I'm talking  about so I'll visually make this  available<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a picture I worked on a long  time ago based on Umi (from magic  Knight Rayearth's) outfit which you can  see if you get the magic Knight  rayearth coloring book <br />

And this is the picture taken a few  months later:<br />

Also check yahoo, there's one there  too!<br />

Oh and don't forget... our beloved  Sonic/Mina petition:<br />

<br />
Now just to set the record, my dislike  to Sonic/Sally and the basic character  Sally Acorn is not because of Mina  Mongoose, I just don't like the  character or Sonic/Sally because I  think the content in both subjects has  little truth that is positive if  anything.<br />
<br />
Anyway I feel energetic, we are all  getting ready for snow where I live and  I'm going to finish requests ^______^  if anyone has any be sure to gimme a  note ;p ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I have seen over the past months  alone my favoraite Sonic character  (Mina Mongoose) has gained a lot of  support, and that includes the  Sonic/Mina pairing. Anyway if your  anything like me and want to see  Sonic/Mina then you can feel free to  click this.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/915100529">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Which should take you to the site, if  the link is wrong please let me know.  Now before anyone clicks this is only  to show support for Sonic/Mina in  Archie comics. not SatAM, Sonic X or  whatever our current goal is to see  Sonic and Mina together well at least  it is for the others who post this  petition. Anyway hope you like and if  you don't... well thanks for looking.  Now remember this is for anyone who  likes it like me and wants to tell  Archie their feelings as that's one of  if not the only reasons Sonic and Mina  aren't together now, lack of  vocalizing. So there ya go. My idea of  getting fans to be vocal. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Does anyone know what copic markers  are? I found some I could buy but who  KNEW how expensive these suckers were?  Well in case no one knows I beleive  they're used by manga artists and work  a heckuva lot better than those water  based markers like crayola because  they're made with alcohol not all  water+dye/whatever the heck crayola  uses. I don't blame crayola for making  their markers waterbased but I WISH  more stores or online communities made  available the alcohol brand of markers.  ;__; ah well I found mine, have you  found yours <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="XD" title="XD" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay basically I see Antione/Sally as a  very logical pairing, that's right even  more logical than Sonic/Sally. Many  people don't like the idea and I'm not  saying you have to. Still I was just  wondering even though it seems like it  came out of the blue its something just  to stimulate your brain for thinking  because currently its a veery  contraversial topic. <br />
<br />
Basically my veiwpoint about  Sally/Antione occured when I got my  hands on issues #60 and SSS#11. Sonic  #60 and SSS #11 were one of the varying  comics I haven't read (that's right I  don't own EVERY last one guys) And it  got me thinking why hasn't ANYONE  thought of this pairing anymore?<br />
<br />
In issue #60 The king says to Sally if  she immersed into the source of all her  husband would be Antione.  Low and  behold Sally DOES dip herself into the  goo in SSS#11.  Where not only this  should confirm Sally/Antione then but  this issue made it clear Sally Acorn  could NEVER have a crown either as it  says <br />
Sally hasn't bonded with the source of  all and she must see through bonding  with it or "forever forfeit her  birthright."<br />
<br />
Now while some people have argued  Sally's birthright would've been seeing  the future and not the crown it goes a  little deepter than that.<br />
<br />
The king says in issue 60: And now you  must decide whether or not you wish to  rule over the realm-- for with the  blessing a price must be paid! You will  be joined physically--spiritually with  the source of all!<br />
<br />
And Sally in SSS #11 says: I guess  things weren't meant to be then! I'm  not sure I want to know everything in  order to be queen!<br />
<br />
and the source of all  says: You  realize that once you make your  decision there is no turning back?<br />
<br />
Ultimately implying the source  understands Sally knows that knowing  the future AND being queen comes into  the same package, and the king in issue  60 said that to be queen she must be  one with the source.  So this basically  proves Sally cannot be a queen because  in the end of Sonic super special 11   Sally rejects the source.<br />
<br />
So lets answer some lingering questions  about the "vision" everyone saw in that   same story with Sonic and Sally with  kids.<br />
<br />
The vision cannot happen. First off any  chance OF it happening was contradicted  the moment Sally rejected the source,  and thus rejected the crown. Of course  as you'll see in the vision Sally HAS a  crown. Contradiction made clear and  simple and I decided to use a  contradiction that didn't involve the  love triangle.<br />
<br />
So basically how can the source explain  2 different futures? One it showes  Sally with Sonic and kids and the other  future it showed Max with princess  Sally married to Antione? <br />
<br />
Because in super special #11 the source  explains that it makes individuals  aware of the consequences of each  action they take.<br />
<br />
"Nothing that one who is bound with the  source does is ever done lightly." Is  the source of all's explanation in  SSS#11.<br />
<br />
The source of all showed Sally a vision  right after telling her this the king  Sonic/Queen Sally vision. And it indeed  showed a consequence. But what was this  vision a consequence of? Bonding with  the source of all.<br />
<br />
Sally was undergoing a ritual to see  whether or not she wanted to rule the  kingdom because she'd have to bond with  the source to do so. So the source  showing the consequence of each  someone's decision showed Sally what  WOULD HAVE happened if she bonded with  the source of all. Because the decision  that needed to be made was whether or  not to bond with the source of all  throughout the story and the source  showed her what would've happened so  she did not take her decision lightly.<br />
<br />
Question: So why could Sally see that  future if she hadn't bonded with the  source? If the source showes those who  bonded to the source potential futures  that are consequences towards their  decisions so they don't take their  actions lightly right why did Sally see  if she's not one with it?<br />
<br />
These are good questions! First off it  is apparent that the Sally didn't bond  with the souce but can still  communicate WITH it. Only when a device  is around that holds in it the source  of all such as the sword or if one is  actually in the pool itself. When Sally  has neither she cannot communicate with  the source.  So basically the  intentions of the source was to show  her the consequences of her actions  around the clock. It would have been  able do this if it had been apart of  Sally/ if it had bonded with her. But  because she hasn't bonded with it she  rarely sees these consequences that  would happen if she goes through with a  certain decision.  So its not always  with her, capeable of guiding her to  making decisions that would put her on  the throne or with Sonic.  The source  could always show Sally if she held the  sword of Aco... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay they will from now on be in the  journals whenever you want to see them.  So ladies and gentlemen we are  continuing the stupid excuses for no  Sonic/Mina.<br />
<br />
Now first before I continue I mainly  promote the pairing in the comics. I'm  not shoving the idea down fans of say  Sonic X that they have to be a fan of  Mina Mongoose as even I think the one  and only (literally)  love interest for  Sonic in that continuity is Amy. <br />
<br />
So lets get started.<br />
<br />
I decided I'd squash some ideas about  Mina not really wanting Sonic but has  more lustful wants towards him, Sally  wanting him because she "truly" loves  him.<br />
<br />
Now this is an idea by those who  actually think Archie is mature enough  to imply sex which I think is downright  silly because the target is audience is  6-11 year olds and they NEVER imply  sexual content. My only question is how  is it that Mina is simply a boy crazy  girl wanting to have sex with everyone  and just wants to use Sonic when she's  been extremely loyal. How is it that  people can try to depict her as som  girl who has no loyalty to him and  wants him for lustful purposes when  she's never thought of him in "that" way  and has always been loyal to Sonic even  after 123 and yet they can support  Sally who was trying her hand at both  Geoffery St. Jhon and Knuckles not  necessarily being totally faithful to  Sonic and nearly killed her  very ten  year freindship with Sonic over  something as trivial as a love  triangle. So let me get this  straight....<br />
<br />
Archie's Sally Acorn who doesn't seem  to take to heart whatever bond with  Sonic she has evades Sonic, won't talk  to him ect  when she feels she cannot  have him. If she truly loved him I feel  that she would've always been a caring  freind no matter what happened between  Sonic and Mina because she'd love him  enough to want to see him happy. Sally  was a poor sport when she felt she  couldn't have Sonic and didn't act like  someone who wanted to see him happy  because she loved him, rather she was  evading and not talking to him to make  herself feel better. Once she learns  she can have him in 109 she's peachy  with him again and is much more caring  after 123.  Sally has only really be " sweet" to Sonic when she feels she can " have" him not regardless of the  situation to prove her love. Not only  that but she's had her eyes on multiple  guys and wants to know she can "have"  Sonic and doesn't behave like she truly  loves him....<br />
<br />
and THIS is supposed to be the girl who  truly loves him and is not trying to  simply have lusftul ideas compared to  Mina Mongoose who has been at Sonic's  side even when she feels she can't have  him,  and nearly died for Sally to make  Sonic happy   only did this for lustful  purposes and doesn't truly love him but  wants to know she can have him if she  ever wants to do these things? Okay if  that were so she would've let Sally get  shot, die and have Sonic all to  herself. Mina COULD HAVE won once and  for all but she decided Sonic's  happiness was more important and  decided to save Sally to make Sonic  happy because she felt this would make  him happy. She did that because she  actually LOVES him. <br />
<br />
So who is the real harlot? I'm not  saying either of them are. I just find  it funny that people who beleive the  characters actually undergo sexual  activity behind the scenes would  actually think it would be MINA who  only wanted him for lust and wanted to  have the knowledge of having him while  in fact this girl did more than Sally  prove that indeed that would've been  Sally's place in this scenario and  thats if we were even toying with the  idea to say maybe lusftul acts go on in  the comics behind the scenes so kids  won't be offended. <br />
<br />
So another silly idea replied to. I  just find some of these ideas stupid,  especially this one, but the dumber  ones will probably come before my  actually feelings towards Sally's  future and<br />
<br />
P.S be expecting my POV as to why I  feel Sally's husband cannot be Sonic in  the future no matter how many of these  popular looks into the futures Archie  makes. Coming soon... Antione/Sally  meant to be? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm writing this in my journal so I  forever know I left this offer here.<br />
<br />
Basically I've been asked "When I'm I  going to see that work I requested" the  answer:<br />
<br />
I'm being delayed.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Because <br />
<br />
1. I have school<br />
<br />
2. I'm doing a fancomic.<br />
<br />
Well Its not up yet but its in the  process of having a layed out story so  basically all I'm doing is letting the  option of being an artist for the comic  open.<br />
<br />
Basically we're pondering about  characters like<br />
<br />
Mina<br />
Sonic<br />
Sally<br />
Amy<br />
Tails<br />
Knuckles<br />
Shadow<br />
Antione<br />
Bunnie<br />
Lupe<br />
Rouge<br />
<br />
<br />
And so fourth. We'd like to see your  opinions on what characters to use and  not to use. Also feel free to tell me  if you'd like to assist when it comes  to the artwork such as covers or actual  pages inside the book. Of course I  think if I get any offers I'd like to  see a sample of work to see whether I'd  like to use it or not. Although we're  pushing for a more manga look we  wouldn't mind seeing digital artwork  and if your really good perhaps some  colored pencil works (as copics are  hard to find) anyway just reply and  tell me if you'd like to help and if  you are accepted I'll be sure to tell  you the storyline to see if you want to  actually draw for this story/trilogy.<br />
<br />
So I'm done here bai! ]]></description>
