>>749446741Fnf? Nah, i will wait the devs to finish it
Sorry, I'm not 10.
>>749446741>what if there was a big evil demon in sonic!?!?sonic would kick its ass>but what if sonic WAS the demon???the rest of the cast would kick his ass. I think eggman specifically would be the maddest he's ever been some random bumfuck skinwalker replaced his rival and just fucking kill him on the spot
>>749446741Why is he lowkey cute tho?
>>749446741Walking Sin
>think of scaring nephew with Sonic.exe>he already knows it
>>749448292yeah exe shit is all over fnf and robloxif they have like any roblox access they'll no about it and 234234324 other different versions of it
>>749446741it's funny that zoomers and gen alpha kids probably know sonic from this more than anything else
>>749451546They do, and they don't know what an "exe" is. They think his name is "Sonic Exe", and don't understand that .exe is a file type. It's quite funny. I worked at a school a couple years ago where Sonic.exe did the rounds, and I asked the kids what they thought an "exe" was, and their universal response was that it was just a "scary word/name".
>>749451546the funnier thing is they most likely know sonic.exe from FNF rather than the original creepypastasonic.exe was largely dead fandom-wise aside from the og MY5Tcrimson game and the Nightmare and Spirits of Hell series until Vs. Sonic.EXE dropped in '21
>>749451769somewhat related a lot of younger sonic fans refer to Fleetway Super Sonic as just Fleetway to the point fuckers think that's his namealso cause of FNF
>>749446741how the fuck did sonic.exe of all creepypastas end up with a fanbase in 2026?the original creepypasta was edgelord cringe and that one fangame that was known for was equally edgy and cringe
>>749452953The og game was the goat of youtube, its like shitty horror fast food with sonic on it, and it was milked to oblivion.A bunch of people grew up on said youtube stuff, and started making content based on it. So the "Sonic.exe game" evolved into some proper games, with some amount of "I want to make this but good"(its never good).In reality its fanbase only shrank rather than die out and they were working in the background, with their games eventually evolving into NMB type games(which are basically actual game versions of the exe concept with a shitton of endings); which generally is linked to russians and such.Certainly helps that you sonic fangames have a very strong and always developing backbone.Then they made a FNF mod because they're still relatively young but old enough to make decent content; and since they've been toiling in the mines of making shit they're actually pretty good at it and essentially end up making one of the FNF mods right as FNF was completely blowing up.Meaning it wormed into a new set of kids.
>>749452953as said here>>749452125the og creepypasta was never that popular and was really ridiculed quite a bit and even deleted from the creepypasta wiki for being so shit (you've probably seen the really funny response he posted before)but it had one popular fangame that got yt'ers playing it and thus more popularthan a small number of other fangames came out that did their own thing (Nightmare Beginning and it's sequel, Spirits of Hell and it's sequel) and got some coveragebut it was pretty dead after that and not of any real notebut FNF came out and was really big around covid timeand in '21 modding took off and it got an extremely popular sonic.exe mod that was really big in the FNF scene and had an infamous explosion that kind balkanized the FNF modding scene with consquences felt to this dayand it in general made sonic.exe way more popular than it ever was to a massive degreefeeding off of this, Roblox started incorporating a lot of sonic.exe stuff, particularly in asym horror games in the style of like Dead By Daylight. There's been a ton of these and they all go up in flames more or less cause roblox dev teams are insane and also sonic.exe as a whole is full of OC's now and the owners are really anal about others using them which causes a lot of issues. It's a whole shit showtl;dr: It had a fangame back in the day that was popular then it died down than an FNF mod for sonic.exe got super fucking huge and it later got big on Roblox
>>749446741What game?FnF?
So what did the original creator do that was so bad he got kicked out of the fanbase?
>>749453329>>749451546more likeBeing Sonic-expy allowed them to still alive, even if everyone ridiculed it, waiting for it chance to blown up
>>749453334I will say that the whole "it was dead until FNF" is a tad dubious, even if we remove it from the timeline while it certainly would be a shitton less popular with kids; PC port 100% would have still blown up and we'd still get a bunch of games later.The Sonic.exe fanbase was mostly in a lull.>>749453576You know the usual, tried to groom a few people and talked about how Sonic.exe is making people suck him off in his dimension.

>>749446741this looks so lame and faggy
>>749453334>but it was pretty dead after that and not of any real noteIts fucking SonicAn Edgy OC Sonic evenits no way to call it dead
>>749453657>the usualThat does sound like the usual and no o e is supposed >>749453664Thanks
what's the story behind this gif?
>>749453593Most people weren't ridiculing exe games that much until exe was more or less irrelevant. But it being sonic is absolutely a factor that kept the people around that long.If you've ever played Nightmare Beginnings you can tell that it being weird fanfiction is basically the entire appeal to the people that stuck around, it has extensive lore and is allowed to do wacky shit.Which I somewhat get the appeal of, unironically i think the tails murders the animal friends section is kinda fun. Its not exactly scary but something about it activates the monkey brain.Its also how we got shit like "My version of Sonic.exe with mephiles crystals on him is unique and you can't use him in your mod anymore". And if you actually check there's wikis filled with six million sonic.exes with their own gay backstories.
>>749453657yeah fair pointi always forget pc port existed before the first vs sonic.exe ver, which is stupid of me considering lord x was in it from the start
>>749454039yeah ngl even with really well sprited stuff like say OMT I find myself preferring NB and Spirits of Hell if nothing but for the fact they tried going kinda balls to the wall crazy and different with branching paths and ideas no other exe fangames really try forlike the gameplay is atrocious but that's really true of any exe fangame so at least they are interesting. In a sense, they are more like typical sonic OC stuff even more than the average exe OC, trying a lot of different ideas. stuff like (I think it was the Spirits series) tails and sally committing suicide cause they realize they are in a looped existence and they've run out of options, shit that sticks with me compared to other exe shit that's just another MY5Tcrimson clonealso very true about the OC issue in general as well, it's pretty horrendous in the exe community in particular for some reasonyou get shit like a character and a theme song already made for them scrapped in a single day cause apparently the permission to use them was a joke, fucking lol
>>749446741FRYING PANhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ke75rt2tF8
is there any .exe game you like anon?
>>749453935There's actually a video on that. Half of it is just the autistic ownership drama of the original creepypasta, unfortunately.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD4MumUlRDU
>>749446741I'm not an alphoid.
>>749454872lollot more effort than i expected
>>749454464Its actually pretty easy to forget because of how close the two release, despite being pretty influential on the exe games after it; for awhile atleast. So i can get why you'd sort of just imagine this blank space, they sort of gel together. PC ports influence only really had time to settle in after FNF had come out anyway.>>749454843There's a reason why you can sorta tell that exe games after awhile of being "PC port clones" started to regain a bunch of traits from NMB. There's a ton of those sorts of endings in Spirits of Hell, to the point its kind of tedious.The specific level of shit you see in the exe community is basically unheard of in the rest of the sonic community so its just super bemusing. Basically any dumb OC drama scenario you can think of has happened, and its only gotten worse and worse over time.Its like the shitpost version of how people viewed sonic OC stuff. Maybe the deviantart little Timmy's had a lot more bark than i recall and they just sort of moved house though.
out of all video game mascot characters sonics design is uniquely suited to being adapted into a "dark and fucked up" horror version without looking silly at first glance, and because the concept itself is so appealing, especially to kids, sonic exe stuck around and outlived every other creepypasta

>>749458221I forgot he's a dead baby, so he would be immune to computer ghosts.
>>749457996this is weridly true and I'm not sure why, something about sonic and his series lends itself to itI guess just from sonic not shying away from serious stories compared to say mario or crash bandicoothorror mario stuff just doesn't hit the same why sonic stuff does (aside from a big exception of coronation day, and some sm64 stuff)
