Been awhile since I last used this post, huh... Anyway! Metal/Sonic ideas because I Cannot Be Stopped:
● We've got the built-in amnesia prompt with Eggman taking control of Neo again, so like. That. Sonic having to deal with his dumb robot reverting back to his original self (minus his 9000 issues) and trying to get him to remember... but also consider: Sonic managing to forget. I love a good amnesia plot.
● I'd love to fuck around with different timelines in some way, whether that's SA2!Sonic + Heroes!Neo or something wildly different! Please do not feel like you need to watch any other Sonic games, it's not worth it. (I say, having watched several out of morbid curiosity.)
● I like the idea of Sonic and Metal sharing a mental/emotional connection like the "event" we did in our thread and seeing how that changes their relationship! I am a simple woman, I like making Metal feel things. c:
● SA2 But Metal Sonic Is Here. What is he doing? Idk we can figure that out together. I just love the SA2 story and setting and want to put my boy there, sue me.
● For whatever reason, Sonic and Metal need to work together. This could be an rp game setting, some sort of Heroes AU where they have to team up against Eggman, or we could borrow from some of those Sonic games no one cares about and steal their ideas. I could probably come up with something that's somewhat canon-compliant!! Sonic introduced time travel, they don't get to try to make their stories make sense. (I actually like the Metal Virus arc of the IDW comics for this? Sonic's literally on the verge of dying and Metal saves his ass so like :thumbs up:!)
● Murdergame. That's it, shove them in a murdergame and see how it goes. Surely nothing bad can happen here!!
As for our specific current psl ideas... (Some of these can absolutely be combined/reworked for the psl of course lmao)
● Sonic's gotta explain his bf to his friends. Whether this is after they've returned home or having his friends show up in "game", I just love the idea of Sonic trying to explain this. "Sometimes these things just happen, okay. Normal rivalries, right??"
● Someone's gotta get seriously injured again because I mean. It's great for h/c. We Gotta. We already set up the potential of dying and coming back which could be VERY fun, so!! Does Sonic even know you come back after you die... Neo never told him...
● I like the idea of a post-"game" setting where they have to settle back into their lives at home, they aren't exactly going to be able to move in together like everything's a-okay given... Neo Metal Sonic and Eggman existing, lmao.
● Likewise, one of them returning home before the other could be fun to play with for a bit, especially if combined with the death mentioned above... c:
● I'm not really sure what to do with it, but Neo still has his shapeshifting abilities and I feel like that could be fun to play with somehow?? He greatly prefers to be himself which is why he doesn't use them often, but like. We could do Something there. Somehow.
● What if they raised a Chao together. Wouldn't that be dumb.
● Dumb event ideas!! Things like body swap could be interesting, given how vastly differently they both operate but also: that might just sort of fuck them up. Do we really want to give Neo ANOTHER crisis? (Yes.) But I'd be glad to steal any sort of memes/events to play around with for this!
● We could take the memloss or different canon points things and mess with them here as well as part of events; I'm kind of charmed by the idea of a bad end Heroes AU where Neo won dealing with his long-dead rival again and realizing "oh, actually I miss having him to compete against" lmao.
● No seriously I just want to do everything with them, so I'll edit this if I think of anything else okay—
