tumblr user shadails...will you tell me about shadails...i would like to know what makes them compelling to you. is there a narrative? parallels, perhaps? an intriguing dynamic? i want to know what youre cooking with these two.
Hello, tumblr user nyanbinary-87 (good name btw), I would be happy to tell you about shadails!
In fact, I used this as a great opportunity to create a brand new version of my horrible informational slideshow!
(sorry if anything is illegible. trying to squeeze everything into just a handful of slides was harder than expected... and I still forgot some things! lol)
If you would like more of my personal thoughts/headcanons on shadails & their dynamic, I would be happy to share as well :) But in the end...
Think about Nun Tails and Demon Priest Sonic... Or Shadow even maybe... Think about it
More appreciation for Tails having a creepy, unsettling husband that he absolutely adores
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!!!!! tails can have a terrifyingly possessive husband and a lowkey toxic relationship as a treat... maybe even three?
i think shadow would be the most possessive of him, to the point where he may become furious if another man even so much as pays tails attention, and that's like super delicious yummy yummy to me. absolutely in love with the idea of him having this deep seated urge to just keep him to himself. he's already jealous enough of silver and sonic and the fact that having to share tails with them, he doesn't need the competition. he IS the ultimate lifeform after all, why does tails need anyone else?
personally i've always found it more fun to play around with the idea of silver or sonic being freaks too, like those boys have experienced so much loss and tragedy in their lives and they're way too chill about it. maybe something about getting with tails finally awakens all that grief and makes them realize they don't wanna lose him and so they go to any lengths to keep him to themselves. sonic is much more touchy-feely and just loves getting and giving attention from and to tails, his little hedgie tail wagging every time their bodies are close in proximity.
silver is the kinda guy to show affection through grand gestures like gifts and presents so i can see that being a rapid decline from just bringing tails new tools every day to straight up bringing home the heads of his rivals. he's probably the worst one ngl have you seen what he's been through?
unlike shadow i feel like they'd be more inclined to work in a pair to achieve that- at least at first, when the feelings start growing stronger they'd probably turn on each other too, scrapping vicious and bloody for that boy. shadow stays out of it because he's above such nonsense but he still watches in hopes they might kill each other lol.
tails is just blissfully unaware of it all for the most part but in the scenario where he does become aware he'd probably end up being scared of them. not that he could do anything about it. if he runs, they'll catch him. if he hides, they'll find him.
he's destined just to be the cute little wife for these three bastards.
Holding him like a stinky small cat
sontails but shadow and silver try to rip sonic to shreds over tails because they're all stupid feral animals that want him viscerally and tails has no idea if he should be flattered or terrified
Surge/Tails but it's mostly just Surge trying to piss Sonic off by making out with Tails as hard as possible whenever Sonic's able to see it?
Hi it's the Ship Tails With Everyone/SontailsEXE Anon AGAIN again. Rare Tails ships, uuuuhhhhhh...first of all DO definitely draw Tails+Espio. but? also? here's a fuckin wild one: any badnik. He should get kissed by Caterkillers! Motobugs should make out with him!!
Do crossover ships count? I ship him with Pinstripe Potoroo from Crash Bandicoot, nerd x mobster is fun
Do y'all have any niche/crack/unpopular tails ships? Maybe I could draw some or something maybe.......
Sorry, hi, it's "wait TailsxEXE shipping is actually cute" anon AGAIN. I think maybe everyone should be crushing on Tails at his expense?? put that boy in situations. he can't be near ANYONE without getting flirted at, cornered, kissed...(and he's not interested in nearly as many people as are interested in him but that's fine I think. that shouldn't stop anyone.)
YES.
Just saw someone say that s*nadow gets more hate than sontails. What
IT'S GIVING WHITE STRAIGHT MEN SAYING THEY'RE THE MOST OPRESSED DEMOGRAPHIC
While I'm taking a little break, have some sontails fueled sonic boom screenshots that I really like
Where you looking at, buddy...
Them........
That's Tails's first instinct?? Jumping wherever Sonic is?? Okay man
Headcanon that Sonic just randomly picks up Tails whenever he want to and Tails just has to deal with this
Honestly man I think you're just looking for any excuse to get in between Sonic's legs
That's not how people look at their friends, bro
Also bonus knuxtails because look at them
Didn't know whether to post it here or not—
It looks normal enough but I had like. Evil sexual thoughts while drawing this
More sontails.exe because I'm going insane
Also do we fw shadails.exe or am I actually loosing my marbles
Saw your Bluesky "understand my ship in 5 minutes" post and it broke something in my brain wrt Sonic.exe and I kinda love the thought of pairing him with Tails now?? Me (helpless and extremely mortal fox kit) and the bad bitch (eternal omnipotent reality-bending murder monster) I pulled by being cute, fluffy, and easily spied on/obsessed over.
Something about the terror of being loved by someone who can be anyone, anywhere, anytime, bend the universe around himself so Tails can never get away, watch Tails' every move from places Tails can't see...put that fox in the panopticon tbh
Yes... Join the dark side.......
I like to think about Tails being in a secret relationship with a feral, creepy looking fox that makes everyone uncomfortable just by existing
Hello???? Genius?????
OC inspired by this ask under the cut because OH MY GOd
I had to yk......
I sleep
I wake up
I think of Nine in the Grim alone thinking about Sonic post Sonic prime
I sleep
I wake up
I think of Nine wondering if Sonic still thinks of him
I sleep
I wake up
I think of Nine trying to cope with his loneliness by building more robots, more structures, telling himself something like "the point is to build a perfect society"
I sleep
I wake up
I think of Nine having a moment of vulnerability, asking Chaos Sonic and Alpha Grim Sonic to just hold him. That's it
I sleep
I wake up
I think again about Nine thinking wistfully and bittersweetly about Sonic. Wondering what he's up to now
I sleep
I wake up–
I'm a sucker for shrinking down characters. Like that's a whole separate thing I am unwilling to think about
So what if small Tails....... Accidentally got shrinked down during an experiment or something and now he's tiny, like the size of a hand maybe...
And Sonic's gotta take care of him until he gets back to normal and try his hardest to not be weird and creepy about his adorable little brother who can fit in his palm and wouldn't be able to fight back against anything he does...
I haven't drawn anything, but I did write this short sontails fic
I like to give Tails older brothers who are absolute brocons about him mweheheh, age gap incest yaoi BASED
Oooooo I'm not sure if you're talking about OCs or Tailses from different media, but either way you're a genius anon🫡
Ok this has been in my brain for the past few days. Hear me out.
….Tails X Metal Sonic. (Bcs Tails is a tech nerd and Metal is well,, a robit!! Also it’s similar to sontails bucyvfhdubd)
Yess!!!!!
God they have so much potential and yet I've seen no content w them.......
I've actually already drawn them a couple of times before!
