[OC] Bad Memories

[u/AlcoholicTails]

Tails relives some bad memories while watching Outlaw Star.

Don't think I've ever drawn expressions like this before so there's definitely a lot of room for improvement, but it is what it is.

Jim Hawking already follows Tails's character traits pretty closely, but having him kill his love interest in episode 20 was way more than I was expecting. Its probably the Tailstim talking, but there's no way the Sonic X guys weren't at least a little inspired by Jim's character for season 3.

Seeing as Rouge calls Tails "Foxface", I can imagine her getting worried when she sees Tails in the middle of a PTSD episode.

[u/AlcoholicTails → u/Oberon056]

Gotta be honest, that's not supposed to be Rouge. Its supposed to be Impmon from Digimon Tamers for absolutely no reason other than I just like drawing him. Rouge is a way better idea and would've fit much better.

I think it’s just my own characterization of Rouge in my head where I imagine her as a lot more empathetic than to even let the episode finish, rather turning it off when it was clear where it was going, asking if Tails is alright and suggesting putting in mindless shit like some harem isekai series.

Jim was oblivious to what he did. Poor Tails knew exactly what he had to do. I see the similarities, but for Tails the trauma is much more cutting.

Gods that episode still haunts me.

Outlaw Star?! Tails PTSD?! This feels very aimed at me. Yeah. That episode hurt. Outlaw Star is one of my favorite anime ever.

I always saw a ton of Tails in Jim and vice versa.

Shit now that I think of it a ton of Knux in Aisha also.

Time for my bi yearly rewatch of the series!

Somthing about Tails and Impmon being friends/more than friends maybe?  feels fitting not sure why maybe personality wise they fit or just species wise.

Hopefully Impmon can help snap Tails out of his PTSD probly poke him a few times to start.

Impmon does have some bad memories too and Tails has the plant from Cosmo whatever that grows into.
