Our Hextech Dream….

Okay. So, as we inch ever closer to the release of Sonic 3, I want to throw this out as kind of a pre-emptive plea to the Sonic fandom as a whole.

I do not want a rerun of the anger, the venom, the hate that was so prevalent after the Knuckles series came out.

I get that the movie universe isn't everyone's cup of tea. I get that some are angry at the direction the films have chosen, at the changes made to characters, at the changes made to lore and backstories and whatnot.

I get that. I really, really do.

But I'm imploring those of you who do not like the movies, please keep your scu rants behind tags so that we who do enjoy the films can filter it out. The negativity that ran rampant when the series came out hurt a lot of people. My own motivations and excitement for the movie-verse as a whole dropped, and hasn't fully returned. I came into the fandom by way of the movies, so seeing such hatred for what I truly enjoyed was like a kick in the gut.

Are the movies perfect? No. No media is perfect. But they're my 'home base' of Sonic media. How I came in. They opened up all other Sonic lore and characters and backstories to me. So they hold a special place in my heart. And I know a number of other people who came into Sonic that way, too.

I'm in no way trying to censor anyone. Spout your rants. Voice your opinion, by all means. Just, please tag it appropriately so those who do not agree and do not want to see that negativity can filter it out. That's all I ask.

Thank you.

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

It has been a great day at Dragon Con. I found this in the Marriot,and when I solved it, a child dressed as a Korok ran out to give me a piece of candy.

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:
