Commentary for June 24, 2020: Some of you can probably guess where this is going! Now, interestingly enough, this is the first occasion we’ve seen Tails’s workshop in the Mystic Ruins in Eon’s World. (Well, the exterior anyway; we did see the inside in Chapter 11.) It was a fairly common location I used back in the days of Eon’s Comic, essentially as a base for Sonic and his friends. But, given that I’ve included the Freedom Fighters in Eon’s World, along with Knothole and Freedom HQ, Tails’s workshop simply was no longer the only place where Sonic and his crew could gather. But given that more or less everything in the mainline Sonic games up to and including Sonic Adventure 2 is treated as canon backstory to this comic, Tails’s workshop would be a location that exists in-universe. (Even though it only ever appeared in Sonic Adventure and the Sonic game franchise really can’t be rated for its consistent world building. But I’d like to think Eon’s World can, which is why I include this place, even if it may seem a little redundant.) But the impression I’ve always got from Tails setting up a workshop in such a remote location is that maybe she just enjoys her privacy. Maybe it’s easier to cook up ideas by herself out here than with other people constantly around. I’m not an inventor, but I am a writer and an artist, and I do find it a lot easier to work when I have my own space to do it in, where I can listen to the music or podcasts I enjoy and I can really focus my attention on my work. And who knows? Maybe Tails inherited the place from a relative. Maybe Merlin Prower used to live here. Maybe if I’d thought about it more ahead of time, I’d have put the Great Forest, along with Knothole, on the mainland rather than on Westside Island, and that way Tails’s workshop wouldn’t be literally across the sea from the rest of her friends. But then again, Tails has a plane. She can travel back and forth at her leisure. (And if you’re wondering why I’m using female pronouns for Tails, you obviously missed Chapter 26, ‘Future Tense’. Check it out and you’ll understand.) |
