I Have No Reason For Doing This I Just Saw This Image And It Made Me Laugh

Lansoni/Arlance my beloved

Ive been working on remaking artfight refs and drawing ocs so I don't have much rn go my mimics

The ol' noggin is in a sudden Rough and Tumble kick, and in doing so it made me realize how much of a breath of fresh air they are compared to all the other Sonic villains.

To explain what I mean, let's first take a look at what are some of the most deplorable actions by all the other major villains present in the IDW comics: (also this is kinda long, so bear with me)

Dr. Eggman

Started a plague that turned people in mindless, shuffling zombies and completely coated the planet in metal gunk just because he was petty about being good for a few weeks.

Dr. Starline

On top of helping the previous doctor in his disease spreading efforts, he (presumably) kidnapped two people and forcibly implanted cybernetics while also brainwashing them and irreversibly ruined their lives, just because he wanted to prove a point he was wrong about.

Zavok (and the Deadly Six)

Say what you will about these guys in the games, but they not only made Eggman's Metal Virus plague WORSE and more infectious, but once the Faceship was destroyed Zavok went on a mad rampage to try and finish what he started and turned into a freaking kaiju in the process. That's also not to mention that one time he found a doctor to heal him after the events of Bad Guys and flat out killed him.

Clutch

Held several Chao in a small cage just for the sake of racing them, has been confirmed to have caused damage to the environment, forced a ship to crash land either in a city or on top of the heavily populated Restoration HQ, and has literally shot at children.

Mimic

Has betrayed every single team and/or person he has ever worked with simply to save his own skin. Worst case is obviously the Diamond Cutters where he sent them to their deaths directly. Then after all of that he still wants to go after Whisper and kill her even when it's easier for him to just lay low and forget the whole thing.

Rough and Tumble

Stepped on a roast.

Rough and Tumble are a different breed to every other villain in Sonic. Whereas everyone else is a monstrously evil psychopath or a sadly accurate depiction of some real people in power, they're just dunderheads. And that's what makes them so great!

Of course, those more serious and crafty kind of villains are what make Sonic stories so good. They are genuinely competent threats for the heroes to overcome and drive more than their fair share of conflicts. Plus, the likes of Eggman and Clutch are kinda key in Sonic's messaging of environmentalism and standing up to authority. But if every villain was like that, it'd get dull quickly.

So, it's nice, every once in a while, to see these bumbling idiot skunk brothers make a fool of themselves and just be there mostly for laughs. Even better though is that they're not some pushover, throwaway dorks. They can hold their own in a fight, even taking over a town for a short while after the war.

Still, they're the epidemy of the Wario and Waluigi of Sonic. Just these two jerks who could never come up with a competent plan to save their lives, but you enjoy following them anyway to see what hijinks they get up to. It's great, and really ought to make them stand out amongst Sonic's rogue's gallery for their uniqueness.

Also, just a quick little aside, this is one of my favorite bits in the entirety of IDW:

Tumble's fucking silent lean upwards. You can hear the inhale he does there. It's fucking amazing. I love these skunk dweebs.

Sorry if this was a big long post where I just ramble incoherently about two Sonic characters no one gives a shit about lol. I just wanted to get this off of my chest. I bet I'm not even the first one to say any of this stuff.

Context is here but I’m such a sucker for the eldest is put in charge but is over protective as fuck trope

Bonus knuckles as soon as sonic started disobeying and he has to pull the bear tranq

MORE SPOILERS (MAX BEING AUTISTIC EDITION/THEORY)

Okay but can we talk about how there is no good outcome for Whisper in terms of this next story?

YEAH YOU HEARD ME RIGHT:

THERE IS NO GOOD OUTCOME FOR WHISPER IN THIS NEXT ARC

I am being so so autistic over this right now you guys have no idea.

But what do I mean by "there's no outcome?". Primarily in regards to her current goals "to end Mimic."

Like. Actually fucking kill the guy. Both the plot summary and Whisper have made this SUPER fucking clear that somebody will die/get hurt in this arc.

And the intention is for it to be Mimic. Obviously! But some of these bits have me a little.. concerned. ESPICALLY. ONCE AGAIN "ANOTHER FRIEND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE CROSS HAIR" WHAT DO YOU MEAN IAN???"

So let's talk about the route that's most obvious: this will be our second villain death and Mimic dies.

The comic has made it super clear that Tangle doesn't want him to be killed. At every point that Whisper has tried to kill this man, Tangle has been there telling him that it's not okay. That she thinks the best course of action is for her to stop him. Not kill him. It's important to her she doesn't kill him.

So I'm saying this: If Whisper ends up killing off Mimic.

She will MOST LIKELY loose Tangle.

And I point to what Gigi said about Whisper

"Mimic is what Whisper could BECOME"

While Whisper's ENTIRE support group isn't Tangle, I think loosing someone she's gotten so close to would be a huge loss. This would probably lead with her closing herself off again. Returning to the lone wolf she was, now with blood on her hands.

After all Guardian Angels aren't the only Angels are there?

There ARE also fallen angels.

But on the other hand we have the idea that something might happen to Tangle. That Tangle might end up getting hurt and something might happen to her.

I've speculated on the concept that this might (somehow) get mimic to realize that not everyone is a fakey fakerson who's always faking it up. Who knows where that would go.

ANYWAYS I NEED TO GO EXPLODE. THIS COMIC NEEDS TO RELEASE NOW!!!!/j

Happy 4 year anniversary to the gays meeting!!!!

Hey, ya'll mind if I just go crazy real quick?

Hey, ya'll mind if I go insane real quick?

Hey, ya'll mind if I go bonkers real quick?

Hey, ya'll mind if I go feral for a split second?

Ya'll mind if I just have a few screws loose?

Ya'll mind if I just gush about everyone's dynamic here?

Ya'll mind if I just talk about the art briefly because I enjoyed "TMOM" back in the day? I'm happy to see the artist was recognized for their work.

Anyway, yeah you could say that I liked this annual along with the others.

found out about duo garfield and ran to draw this as fast as i could
