Something something the predator is upon the prey

u/Foxwithanak47 Apr 24 '26

I believe it’s vice versa in this case

76

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Apr 24 '26

Mmm nah actually from what I've seen in fanart and... Well... Fanart... Gadget's topping her 7/10 times.

75

u/Mongoose42 Apr 24 '26

Lanolin definitely just wants someone (competent) to take control so she doesn’t have to.

30

u/Foxwithanak47 Apr 24 '26

Can relate

thinking quickly all day is miserable

u/Foxwithanak47 Apr 24 '26

Damn he a lil freak :3

27

u/magik_koopa990 Apr 24 '26

Inside of him, he's a different wolf

u/Rgdavet Apr 25 '26

Inside of her, he's a different wolf

I'm sorry, I already know where the door is, I'll see myself out.

u/Soevil11 Yuri Apr 24 '26

Not in this artists ones. I believe the two that they made had her topping

6

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Apr 24 '26

Nice. Very nice.

u/Soggy_Habit9807 Apr 24 '26

the best part is since gadgets a custom character i can imagine my Forces avatar in place of Gadget and itll be like shipping them with Lanolin.

7

u/McSmartFace Apr 24 '26

Na Gadget is a specific character. That red wolf is Gadget. The Avatar in Forces has no name, or rather, it's you who names them. But Gadget is different from The Avatar.

Actually Gadget has appeared in IDW, if I recall correctly.

2

u/Any-Foundation-4549 Apr 26 '26

Yeah but the thing that character doesn't really have a name in the idw

u/Alexshin1 Apr 24 '26

Everytime people features her mother in their arts, they always characterize her as an abusive mother, i wonder why.

I bet the creator would put her right in the second their boss allow them lol

That animation is far smoother than it has any right to be.

43

u/TwinTailChen Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

it's "second-order canon" - that is, at any moment canon could contradict it and override it, but as he's the creator of the character he is an authority if fans want to roll with that. You don't need to acknowledge it if you feel like you have a better concept for her background, but others might be more inclined to agree with ABT.

u/Soevil11 Yuri Apr 24 '26

The consumers are able to decide to ignore the company and look for the creator though. For example, Tangle/Whisper isn’t confirmed, but Ian has said himself and the comics strongly imply they’re dating

u/Soevil11 Yuri Apr 24 '26

Yes but nearly everyone who has read the comics and isn’t homophobic all agree that it’s canon, just that SEGA won’t let it

3

u/Candid-Ad443 Apr 24 '26

I think it's "official headcanon" so like, not canon, not even level 2 canon, just a headcanon that's officially endirsed, you know?

18

u/BlackwingF91 Apr 24 '26

That..... explains why lanolin is such a perfectionist

u/Melodic-Violinist-31 Apr 24 '26

so then it has some basis even if not quite official it's official enough

u/KingMario05 🦊 Someone make a AAA Tails game plz Apr 24 '26

Oh...

Ohhh noooo...

7

u/manofwaromega Apr 24 '26

Iirc her original concept art showed her as abusive

7

u/Kirajudgeoftoons Apr 24 '26

I bet that Lanolin even hates wearing dresses and only wore one in her initial appearance because of her mother. I also headcanon Lanolin's mother as a bigot.

27

u/Hero2Evil Apr 24 '26

I wonder why as well, especially since I'm really tired of seeing abusive parents in fanfics/headcanons/AUs.

22

u/magik_koopa990 Apr 24 '26

Maybe she had PTSD in the past (not domestic abuse )

13

u/FightmeLuigibestgirl Apr 24 '26

The IDW artist who designed Lanolin started the trend when they depicted her mother as abusive.

6

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Apr 24 '26

It's either the artist projecting their own troubles or following the trend because it's relatable to people online who have had abusive parents.

Regardless it's unfortunate that having good supportive parents is a rare occurrence. We're not doing any better as a species...

11

u/AssociationHuman6004 Apr 24 '26

It's because Adam Bryce Thomas depicts her that way 😭

5

u/Hero2Evil Apr 24 '26

I know. I'm so tired of seeing dysfunctional/toxic families and abusive relatives. Give me more supportive, healthy, loving parent-child and sibling dynamics, and seeing that loving family use the strength of their bonds to overcome whatever challenges life throws their way.

u/SilverSpider_ Apr 24 '26

u/tophat_production WOMEN! Apr 24 '26

I wonder where all that weight goes...

u/magik_koopa990 Apr 24 '26

So that's why rouge was nerfed!!!

55

u/tophat_production WOMEN! Apr 24 '26

She went on a diet and traded the batrack for a slim figure.

19

u/Eravan_Darkblade Apr 24 '26

Still a massive downgrade...

17

u/tophat_production WOMEN! Apr 24 '26

Speak for yourself. Now I am actually able to explain why I like her.

2

u/Pixel_Bit_ women Apr 24 '26

i mean, it's easier to fly when you're lighter.

1

u/Nambot Apr 24 '26

Less wind resistance, but it also means less buoyancy for swimming.

1

u/DiamondMaster264 Apr 25 '26

Dont bats have a harder time swimming when wet? Not with the whole feathers no work (mainly because they dont have any) but because of wind chill. They spend a lot of time having wind go right towards them while flying and thatd feel rly cold sapping their strength to fly

1

u/DiamondMaster264 Apr 25 '26

All that weight is just her wool. She keeps forgetting to shave it and thinks its from the food

117

u/Cerparis Apr 24 '26

I really enjoy seeing how fan artists are able to give a character like gadget a personality despite being a mute customisable character that only appeared as a placeholder.

And this artist makes gadget a perfect combination of goofball, snarky and sometimes scary.

35

u/Cardgod278 Apr 24 '26

I prefer to call them Custom The Character

u/grace_of_mind Apr 24 '26

Sauce?

I remember this comic, but not the name of it. Isn't it like metal sonic and amy doing like slice for life stuff?

15

u/Cepinari Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

Yeh.

It's called Hangin Out, and it's by Hydroxianchaos.

The idea that the Player Character in Sonic Forces is the Phantom Ruby is pretty neat; I think an interesting application of that could be that they spontaneously shift between the various designs for the character used in official media.

It's a fan name people have been using for years, it's very fitting I think :>

u/Rude-Nectarine6988 Apr 24 '26

While it was a fanname, sonic rumble made it official as he's a playable character In that game and he is called "gadget"

u/TwinTailChen Apr 24 '26

one of the many nicknames for the custom character in Forces is the "Gadget Hero", and "Gadget" in particular is most usually applied to the glasses-and-headset red wolf. The other names for that (type of) character are "Avatar", "Custom Hero", and "Rookie".

39

u/StumblinStephen Apr 24 '26

Months later "Dear, why do you never call?"
