just randomly remembered the RV Roommate AU lol
help-i-need-a-cool-username reblogged
Some notes on the boom!Rouge and Shadow dynamic. Goes for most of my boom!Rouge aus but is probably most relevant to the roommate au(s)
- Shadow will not admit Rouge is his friend. She's his "roommate" or "coworker"
- Rouge is more perceptive than most people, and Shadow doesnt like how she keeps trying to unlock his "tragic backstory"
- Shadow will call other people "pathetic" both to defend her without actually interfering and make that person feel bad but also as a roundabout way to make her smile
- Once he actually wants to hang out with Rouge he has to find a excuse. "I thought you didnt like exploring ruins and trekking through the jungle?" "I said i only like to do it on my terms"
- Doesnt realize it but starts to get defense of Rouge's reputation/pride and will step in when he overhears incorrect gossip, as well will defend her honor when she's not around.
- When he agrees to work with Rouge, he notices she always uses the terms "partners" or "assistance", never things like "work with me" or "work for me" or "we're a team" (which he hates)
- He cant hide in the background as much now because Rouge is extroverted and will stop to chat with people and ropes him into the conversation
- Rouge sees and speaks about people in a different way than Shadow does, and slowly he starts to see people in a different light (ex. begins to have some more respect for Sonic)
- Will compliment Rouge because she's cool and consistently impresses him, however this leads to rumors they are dating and Rouge has to stop him from destroying a building
- Rouge doesnt straight up insult him but she will call him out if he offends her or is acting particularly stupid
- Rouge will often fall asleep on a chair or the couch and he'll take off her shoes and cover her with a blanket. Thats about as directly nice as he will get. If she's really upset and he doesnt know how to comfort her he sometimes offers her one hug and just kinda stands there with his hands touching her back (he knows touch is her love language so thats his way of directly comforting her)
- this kid has a chip on his shoulder and it makes him surprisingly easy to nudge him into doing what Rouge wants
- Shadow is a organized guy while she is the "normal" amount of messy. Shadow will pick her stuff up and she gets mad when she cant find things
- Rouge naturally calls people pet names. Shadow kept telling her "dont call me that" and she respects that but she just uses a different pet name the next time. He decided pretty quick that he had to pick his battles with her and that wouldnt be one of them
- Takes Shadow along on her "expeditions" because he can poof right past the booby traps. He'll complain about it but comes anyways
- Finds out a lot of people have beef with Shadow (unsurprisingly) but will only tolerate a small amount of bad mouthing ("im gonna stop you right there. If you dont have anything nice to say about my roommate to me than dont say anything at all")
- Absolutely considers Shadow to be her friend but she finds it funny how he wont admit it so she goes along with it. There are plenty of moments where she sees Shadow in more of a "little brother" light and she treats him accordingly
- She makes bets with Shadow whenever she can slip one past him because she knows his pride wont let him run away. Karaoke has become her favorite prize
- Wont invite people over to her house because 1) theres a lot of expensive and illegally acquired artifacts and 2) Shadow will purposefully make it awkward out of boredom
- Shadow is smart but he's also so blind and sometimes it drives her crazy. He'll jump to assumptions and she'll have to talk to him like "yes thats ONE possible way this could go, but what reason does he have to do that? He's never done that before"
- Rouge is a fairly touchy person. Shadow doesnt like affection but occasionally he'll be distracted enough she'll be able to squeeze his shoulder in passing or put a hand on his back/arm. Even less occasionally drop a kiss on his head/cheek. If he's in a good mood and they're waking along she can sometimes get away with hooking their arms together. She hugged him once when she was really worked up but without warning him and he just awkwardly patted her back with one hand
why is it whenever i actually finish a drawing its a meme?

Thinking about the boom roommate au again. Was gonna go with them living in a unrealistically furnished cave bc laughs but ultimately decided to go for the hut style house everyone has in canon, but now im actually starting to lean towards a old beat up RV/Camper. just because imagining Sonic trying to use the outdoor shower while Shadow and Rouge sit at the tiny table surrounded by ugly 70s wood paneling listening to Sonic screams of "why is it so cold" is hilarious
Shadow and Rouge share the bed since the RV is too small for more than one bed. They do not find this weird. They do not understand why everyone else reacts so strongly when they find out (its only logical to share the bed sonic, why are you acting so weird about this?)
Okay 🤣 now im just imagining Team Sonic finding out after Knuckles comes back from visiting Rouge and he absentmindedly drops the fact all three of them took a nap together in the same bed

Sonic: wait like, you all shared a bed?
Knuckles: yeah
Amy: and you just agreed?!
Sticks: they've brainwashed him! Im telling you those two are never up to anything good!
Knuckles: i dont know why you're all upset. It was nice. I mean, Shadow was on my arm and it went numb and Rouge was drooling on me, but i had this great dream about waffles that talked and-
Sonic: oh my chaos. You cuddled with Shadow
Sticks: he's a genetically engeneered alien experiement funded by the government! He's gotta be! He mustve poked Knuckles with one of his spines and it released a venom that's causing Knuckles to lose his mind!
Tails: actually it makes sense you slept so well. Group sleep promotes feelings of safety and security while cuddling releases endorphins.
Sonic: yeah, well, you'll never catch me snuggling up to someone
all of Team Sonic, one week later:

I have such a clear image of this in my head so imma jot down some notes incase i ever come back and draw stuff for this au
- Its one of those trailers you hook up to a car BUT Rouge and Shadow dont own a car so theres just this empty square where the car would go
- They've set up 2 mismatched lawn chairs under the overhang because shade and they'll hang out there occasionally
- The inside is full of warm orange and yellow-green colors. Like the wood is this orange-brown and theres crumbling cream and sea green wallpaper on the walls and over all theres not a lot of lighting so its just a dark dingy space
- Basically it does NOT match the show aesthetic at all
- The outside is dirty but originally it was white with a brown and orange stripe down the middle
- The windows are usually open (slide to side or push outward with stick) but they're also dirty . They dont have curtains
- All the cushions are either saggy or have holes with stuffing coming out
- The table booth is so narrow Shadow and Rouge bump knees
- Sonic is standing outside in a small dirt patch with a garden hose duck taped to the outer wall of the trailer and that is the outside shower. There is no curtain or stall. Just nature and the blue sky to see him "naked" and covered in mud. He's screaming and dancing away from the spray because theres only one heat setting and that setting is icy cold
- Shadow and Rouge are casually and tiredly taking sips of coffee from their mugs at the booth table listening to Sonic's screams through the open windows. Sonic: AHHHHHH COLD COLD COLD WHY IS IT SO COLD Rouge: should we tell him the inside shower has hot water? Shadow: no
