December 22nd, 2024 (Mini) Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ 0:25 - Do you have any writing resources you fall back on when necessary (I see in the Master list that something similar was asked a few years ago, but given the craft is always evolving, there might be new things to add since 2021) 1:01 - Do you listen to anything while working? Are you one of the people whose able to tune out lyrical songs while working on text? I’m a white-noise guy myself. 2:03 - Is there any piece of “established universal writing advice” that you despise? 3:33 - Sonic, especially Archie Sonic, is a lovable jerk who somehow has equal parts loveable, and jerk. Any tips for maintaining that balance when writing such a character? 4:27 - Thoughts on the statement “Working on your own IP is just fanfiction if it were ‘oops all OCs’” 6:54 - If mewtwo reached out across the multiverse via astral projection, and found Galatea in JLU, after losing to a generator, how would you write him helping her move on from the watchtower fight? 8:38 - How would you write interactions between the sonic and tf2 casts? What interactions do you think would be cool to see? Spy and mimic? heavy and big? Omega and pyro? 10:57 - What kind of space adventure would you want to write? Heist? Treasure Hunting? anything like that. 12:11 - hey Ian, how would you write a crossover between Sonic and Splatoon (that would depend on how familiar you are with the series)? 13:05 - If George Lucas asked you to write a script for Sonic to appear in Star Wars how would you make it canon? Would any of his friends appear as well? ------------------------------------------ 15:16 - Ry’s phrase of the day is…
Meebo Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ 3:30 - A wild Meebo appeared! 4:48 - Meebo used Nuzzle! It was super effective! 5:52 - Meebo used Extreme Speed! 6:01 - Cute Charm activated! Everyone’s infatuated! 7:27 - Meebo used Bite! Ian Flynn-ched! ------------------------------------------ 15:16 - Meebo’s tribute of the day is…
It's like I always say - if you write anything, write Mimic the Octopus. Guaranteed to spice up any story. Even if you never know he was there at all... Day twenty-four of appreciation and counting.
10 days till all Sonic related questions will be prohibited. It is a shame... Those questions were a kind of joy, which I will miss the most. Especially the wacky questions. It was good while it lasted.
with the Talk of TF2 it is funny that they have Collaborated before with the racing game, meaning that the Spy, Heavy, and Pyro have met Sonic before, and if Sonic had any vocal interaction with the Heavy, he'd probably mistake him for Eggman, being an overweight bald man in red
I would love to see ians take on a splatoon story tbh, currently the only extended media we have is a few manga series', with the main one from corocoro being... very non canon to say the least, and definitely aimed towards young kids. Its really disappointing that a franchise with such rich worldbuilding doesn't have any canon extended media. One thing that I wanna say that us splatoon lore-heads probably would point out though if your sonic crossover story went how you said, theres actually only one time that brainwashing has actually been used by Octavio! With Callie's hypnoshades in the plot of splatoon 2, you would think that the other shades worn by octolings are hypnosis too, but no, they're actually just for better aiming. Theres also the sanitised and fuzzy octarians but those aren't from Octavio. "Octarians are hypnotized" is such a bit thing in fanon that anyone into the lore kinda rolls their eyes at it. While I doubt they'd go for an american for an extended media since its way more popular in japan, if you ever have a chance to work on it I recommend Rassicas as head of Lore since they've translated so much japanese only material for the fandom, they're our expert.
The advice about directing the jerkiness of a mischeivous character towards people who deserve it is a big part of why Fleetway/Sonic the Comic just kinda...sucks to read a lot of the time. That Sonic doesn't pick his targets at all, he's just nasty to everyone.
I will not let my question be left... UNANSWERED!!! After an experiment with the Chaos Emeralds gone wrong, Eggman and Sonic accidently replace their Archie counterparts places, how exactly well would they do in this strange yet familiar universe? P.S. You can pick if it's Pre or Post Super Genesis Wave.

Splatoon and Sonic crossover would go kinda hard. But how would octolings react to mimic?
There's a previous question from a different video, but i'm not sure where?
Kitty ambush!
Edit: I wonder if Eggman would team up with Grey Mann.
12:00 Did he just drop Sonic Racing Crossworlds ??
