Anons, I’ve been thinking about the Sonic universe, and it’s not just a franchise—it’s a quantum hellscape where everything and nothing is canon at the same time. Imagine this: every fanfic you’ve ever read, every game, every cartoon, even the cringiest art of Sonic as a nihilist philosopher—it’s all real. It all exists in one massive multiverse where Sonic can be a hero, a villain, or even your roommate in a college dorm.
Key Arguments:
1. Quantum Superposition of Canon:
Everything you see is just one of infinite states of the Sonic universe. Until you decide what’s canon for you, all versions exist simultaneously. You picked Sonic ‘06 as canon? Congrats, you collapsed the wave function. But that doesn’t mean the other versions stopped existing.
2. Multiverse of Infinite Possibilities:
Somewhere out there, there’s a universe where Tails is the villain and Shadow is a comedic relief character. Somewhere Sonic is a philosopher giving lectures on the meaning of life. And somewhere he’s just a hedgehog running around collecting rings. And it’s all real.
3. Conscious Destruction of Canon Walls:
SEGA and Sonic Team know exactly what they’re doing. They create so many contradictions that it’s not a bug—it’s a feature. They’re deliberately breaking canon so we can create whatever we want.
4. Fan Content as Canon Level:
Your fanfic where Sonic marries Amy and Knuckles becomes a chef? That’s canon. Your art of Shadow flying on a cheese rocket? Also canon. Everything you create becomes part of this infinite multiverse.
Implications:
- Creative Freedom: Want to write a fic where Sonic is a vampire fighting zombie Eggman? Go ahead, it’s already canon.
- End of Canon Debates: No more arguing about what’s “right” or “wrong.” Everything is right.
- Embracing Chaos: The Sonic universe is chaos, and it’s beautiful.
Criticism:
- Some anons will say this is too complicated.
- Others will argue that if everything is canon, then nothing matters.
- But isn’t that kind of beautiful?
Conclusion:
This theory isn’t just a way to explain all the contradictions in the Sonic universe. It’s an invitation to create, to imagine, to embrace the chaos. After all, the Sonic universe is what you make of it.
So, anons, let’s discuss. What do you think? What’s your favorite “version” of Sonic? And what would you add to this infinite multiverse?
(And yes, if you write a fic where Sonic is the god of chaos, it’s already canon. Just so you know.)
TL;DR: Everything is canon, nothing is canon, Sonic is a quantum hedgehog, and you’re part of this madness.
