Giving A Sign

Here's a little animation of Sonic saving Holly, a deaf girl who has trouble communicating, but that won't stop Sonic from trying.
As always, this couldn't have been done without my awesome cast.

This was very sweet and I love how Sonic knew she had trouble communicating and immediately adapted to the situation

[@eddiebrice1161]

I know right 👍

[@malachiallen1517]

Sonic knowing that she can't communicate reminds me of what my incarnation of Sonic will be like in a fan series I'll be making sometime in College. He's the same as you know him now, cocky, has an ego, enjoys running, adventurous, blah blah blah. But here's the difference. In my headcanon (which the fan series will be heavily based on), he has ASD (Austism Spectrum Disorder) where sometimes he tends to have restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests (proof of this is that he describes Green Hill as his "home" and chooses to start his adventures there to in order to prepare himself for what he's up against is a nod to how many times Green Hill is used in Sonic games). But, it also causes him to have the insight of expressing himself more during hard times and getting emotional every now and then, but still remaining tough at the same time. Whenever he sees a new race of species getting harmed by someone that's not Dr. Eggman (sometimes Eggman can harm the species, but 8 times it of 10, it really doesn't affect Sonic that much as he keeps things in tact and gets it all over with due to his headstrong side and being healthily adjusted with stopping Eggman from harming nature, it just depends on if Eggman becomes insane enough where it can piss Sonic off), he sometimes gets furious and turns into Dark Sonic where his rage leads him to actually hurting the threat and becoming aggressive towards those who were helping the threat or ends up having lighting emit from his body (nod to the Sonic Movies) where he goes too fast and breaks his regular speed of 767 mph where it can dangerously reach 935 mph, causing him to become pissed off and insane. If he does go at 935, he will end up breaking the speed of light where the lightning and electricity in his body lashes out and causes a worldwide blackout which also causes Sonic to get injured and black out into a coma, concerning citizens about his mental and physical health (he looks up to the people that he saves as friends as they do the same with Sonic out of appreciation and/or just being friendly people as usual). Another new thing is that he also tends to meet girls the most since they usually introduce him to their homeworld and the ancient mysteries the location they live in have to offer (callback to the storybook games) and the fact that he's getting into a phase where he becomes respectful towards women by himself, meaning that he'll eventually confess his shy secret to Amy about how he felt about her all along. Also, his fear of water can sometimes turn into panic attacks and he fears losing his friends since he sometimes has nightmares about it happening. Lastly, he deeply understands most people with special needs or differences to where if they feel ashamed, he always becomes the good influencer and gives them advice to not be ashamed for who they are and that it's okay. Basically, my version of Sonic is a mix between a egotistical daredevil and a kind hearted, understandable person. He's meant to represent most teens that are good people and are currently making a difference who also face tough challenges, but experience wonderful opportunities in life as they get older.

[@76o90]

@@malachiallen1517 Sounds great! Hope you’ll be able to complete your project :D

[@malachiallen1517]

​@@76o90I hope so too. Right now I'm on the forge of making concepts and voice impression-izing my scripts on Google Docs to give myself a feel on what the show will be like. The show will follow Sonic going on new adventures with his friends old and new (yes there are new characters, I may have announced them in other comment sections) while travelling to past locations and new places. For comedic episodes, the writing will be similar to Sonic Boom (TV show) and your generic Nickelodeon or Disney XD show. As for the episodes that are a hybrid between funny and serious, the writing will be like Sonic Prime, the Sonic Movies, and the MCU movies. I'm thinking on either having it animated in Blender or Maya, whichever can handle enough props and stuff. No info for VAs or soundtrack at the time. However, some food for thought I have in terms of VAs and soundtrack is to have the OST of the show be composed by Turret3471, Jahn Davis, Bouncy Glow's Music Room, NicoCW, Lil Boulder, TheLegendofRenagade, JX, and anyone that can do casual/epic orchestra music. And some ideas I also have for VAs was thinking about collabing with Sonicsong182 and Caudle (Its a Disney inspired ASMR RP... **Clears throat** furry... channel that makes me question my existence). Also, I might tap in with Garrulous64, my cousin who is a Sonic fan, or my Brother to help with writing comedic/day-in-the-life episodes vs serious/funny hybrid storyline episodes. Edit: Christ that was a mouthful lol

[@THATNUGGIE]

So true

[@alyssamenjivar8796]

Holy shit. I just learned that Sonic just signed "You're beautiful" That's why Holly said thank you THAT WAS SO SWEET ❤️🥺❤️🥺❤️🥺

That may be a mistake on my part. I meant for him to say her hair was pretty. But it's the same deal, so it works either way.

[@skylar_the_eagle731]

As someone who’s been trying to learn sign language with varying levels of success, this brings me so much serotonin for all the right reasons. Sonic’s such a sweetheart to everyone, regardless if he knows them or not, or if they’re disabled, like Holly here! Amazing work once again, Pixel!

[@SherryDoodlez]

Goodness, this made me cry. This is such a wholesome take on his character and I adore the head-canon of him knowing a bit of sign language. It would make sense given he's an avid reader, I could see him picking up a few foreign languages too on his chill days. Absolutely love this idea to bits! Also, awesome animation and voice acting as always!

[@Kaji5814]

As someone whose brother was born deaf, this hit me real good in the feels. Absolutely beautiful.

Tell me why this anthropomorphic cartoon hedgehog is a better role model than at least 90% of celebrities? Funny how being kind is seen as a weakness but lowering yourself to assist others takes more strength than to put them down. A true role model

Very good job, Cashlin. It's great that we have a character representing those who are hard of hearing. It shows to not let their disability define them😊

BTW, I think Holly the Poodle suits your voice perfectly. I think her design would even be a good "Sonic-sona" for you.

I always love the headcanon that Sonic knew sign language, which is how he communicated before he could. He may be a little rusty, but he still tries. 😊 I recognize the outtro. One of my favorite Sonic songs.

Helen in Sonic X

[@jedrzejsiata98]

That is so sweet seeing how Sonic trying communicate to a deaf person like Holly. The most heartwarming moment was that when Sonic sign to her "You're beautiful" and she tell him "Thank you". She's not at all a deaf. She's hear sometimes.🙂

[@alyssamenjivar8796]

Yeah I realized that too. Sonic is such a sweetie

[@kingcamelot1395]

That's not especially true. With deaf people, even if they can't hear the sound of their own voice, they can feel their own voice and the words as they come out. This mostly pertains to people who weren't born deaf, but became deaf at some point. Those people can't hear what they speak, but they remember what it was like to speak.

[@SpeedBoltz]

I love this animation, It truly shows Sonic's character. Fast, cool but more importantly...Kind.

[@ag-13studios51]

I was given an assignment in English to write a reaction paper about a short film called "The Silent Child" about a deaf child being taught to communicate, and then I ran into this video on my break. This truly warmed my heart to see Sonic interacting with a disabled character like this. I'm not too good with deaf people, but as I've known a little sign language since I was a kid (thanks to Sesame Street), this video and the short film has made want to practice sign language again. Give yourself a pat on the back for inspiring people once again Pixelrush. You deserve it for helping make the world better and making people aware 😊👍🏾

[@MageoftheTower]

I love this! Sonic may be a little rusty, but he still remembers his sign language, especially once he got back into the motions of it, you could almost see the muscle memory kick back in! I’ve always imagined that, since Classic Sonic is Sonic from the past and is mute, Sonic himself knows sign language because he himself is selectively mute.
