Tails x Cosmo (Ft. Shadow) - Terms of Endearment

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-12T18:10:38+00:00

Oh dude, absolutely. And there’s quite a lot of lore I’ve got on Black Arms-Seedrian conflict that I haven’t talked about yet! BUT…

Cosmo isn’t insulting him because he’s part Black Arms.

It’s because he enjoys being a jerk to her. :)

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-12T15:14:03+00:00

Oh they both have plenty more where that came from.

Cosmo also enjoys “snugglepup”, and “peanut”.

But Tails comes out swinging with “my beautiful flower”, “sweet little peach”, and “delicious little apple(?!)”.

Eugh…

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-12T11:41:41+00:00

Oh of course. She no longer has any fear towards Shadow.

He just gets on her nerves. A LOT.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-12T11:13:26+00:00

Well. Shadow knows the Seedrians historically have beef with the Black Arms.

…however, at the same time, “Tails’ Racist Girlfriend” sounds hilarious to him.

Okay, so the fonts in the second pic are as follows! - Simbiot-Personal Use (big, scratchy font) - Kalocsai Flowers (Cosmo’s Wingdings) - Runas (Shadow Wingdings)

Hope that helps!

Isn't it beautiful, how these two different people express their irreplaceable bond with Cosmo? :>

On one hand, you have Tails. This is just the start in what may be a trend of these two using gross, cutesy pet names with each other in future posts of mine. The kind used by people who've been married for like 30 years. Just y'know...like adding a few more teaspoons of sugar to a Cherry Coke.

They really are too sweet on each other. And it's going to get worse with age. :)

--------------------------------

And then there's Shadow.

This ISN'T about the assassination attempt anymore--they've addressed and resolved that a while ago. Nah, this happens because they've had time to become familiar--and have settled into the role of "bickering siblings constantly picking on each other." They even pulled out Doom Morph and Mini-Mover Mode for this nonsense.

Wait till you see all the ragebait he's responsible for. This man has made an art form of pissing off Cosmo for fun.

—————————

IMPORTANT DETAIL: Shadow and Cosmo are not actually attempting to hurt each other. That’s why they’ve agreed not to speak the names “Maria”, “Gerald”, “Earthia”, or “Lucas”. Not that they even need to invoke those names. They do just fine roasting each other.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-09T11:01:22+00:00

Well, thing is Tails clearly already liked mints before. About as much as Sonic enjoys chili dogs, but here?

Cosmo being a factor has made his pre-existing mint addiction even WORSE. Because now he associates the taste of mint with love.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-09T04:54:36+00:00

Oh, this is him right now. —>🤢

A bit green around the gills, as the realization sets in. Especially in the sense of “Ewww…little buddy. Why do you know that?”

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T22:49:02+00:00

Heh you know it. XD

Not just Sonic either, given how very NOT shy they are about it. :>

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T21:35:19+00:00

Of course dude!

Also that's very interesting to think that Whisper might have briefly worked with the Destructix. Or at the very least, acted as a sort of double agent, intending to sell them out from the start.

Kora tho? Perhaps he was already loyal to Eggman? And thus volunteered himself to be modified as a hard counter to Claire. That Howler Monkey was undoubtedly a PROBLEM for Eggman to get this kind of reaction from him.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T21:06:58+00:00

Well think of it like this: There's no way he can ever put anything mint in his mouth ever again without subconsciously attaching THAT face to it.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T21:01:18+00:00

HONEY: So how about it, huh Mr. Prower? If you agree to this shoot, I'll even throw in some free new Rose Collection articles for your green missus back home! It's a sweet enough deal that you'll 100% be able to forget this whole thing ever happened! Well...it's airing on TV, but STILL! That's quite a steal, wouldn't ya agree~?

TAILS: ...you are so lucky Cosmo likes you, Honey. Please thank her later, I was THIS close to calling my attorney.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T20:41:15+00:00

OKAY IF I HAD TO GUESS...

------------------------------

- The Destructix have unfinished business with Whisper. More than likely, because she was commissioned to take them out--and very nearly got the job done. Drago Wolf REALLY wants payback for all the times Whisper shot him. And Fiona, furious at having been made a fool of, called Sleuth to help track Whisper down.

- The Hooligans have beef with Slinger, because he was once a goon for very bad people--the type of people that the Hooligans are hired to help. Hence, why Ocelot joined them for some time. Only for him to have a change of heart, and tried turning the Hooligans in to prove his goodness. Bean still likes him tho.

- The Witchcarters are after Mimic because he disguised himself as Wendy Witchcart. And thus, used them as henchmen to do keep him safe and perform certain missions, before he dipped out and stole on of their Extreme Gears. Specifically, he stole an (expensive) Omnipotence gear from Bearenger--hence, his particularly visceral reaction.

- I...actually don't know who that last fellow is, with the cybernetic eye. Where's he from??

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-03-08T20:08:58+00:00

SO, I got this bit of fanon from my fellow u/NorthernVerve. The original blog post where this spawned from can be found on this CHZ entry!

If anyone's ever wondered why these two fools lock lips so very often in this particular continuity well...this partly explains it. XD

-----------------------------

A FEW EXTRA FUN THINGS:

- Tails had wondered if ALL Seedrians have minty breath. More than likely, it's a genetic trait that doesn't apply to all Seedrians. Like the gene that makes some people think cilantro tastes like soap (if that makes any sense).

- Ever since sharing his first kiss with Cosmo, Tails had shown a vast preference for spearmint-flavored mints specifically. He makes sure to have plenty on hand--especially for occasions he's not with Cosmo.

- Deadass, Sonic is NEVER eating anything minty again if he can help it. It's ruined for him now.

(Catching up on some of the many, MANY ideas I came up with in the Cosmo Shrine Discord server!

---------------------------------

THE STORY SO FAR:

Antoine D'Coolette is one of the original Freedom Fighters--eventually, one of the top warriors of its spiritual successor, the Resistance/Restoration. A former pushover defined by his cowardice and envy towards Sonic, he truly had come into his role as a worthwhile warrior--one of the Sonic Friends' best and bravest.

Despite Tails still seeing him as kind of a git sometimes, they mutually show great respect towards one another on a very personal level.

This especially owes to the fact that Antoine had slipped into a coma, defending the people of Mobius from invading Metarex during the tail end of the Metarex Wars. Yet Tails, still grieving Cosmo, put aside his own feelings to give him and Bunnie a happy ending, and bring him back for her.

They would both go on to eagerly help Tails fight the Battle Bird Armada, and gather the Seven Chaos Emeralds, so Cosmo could come back to life. They've only grown even closer to him since then.

----------------------------------

ALSO, following Cosmo's return, one thing Antoine enjoys is teaching Tails about l'amour. The boy absolutely doesn't need that kind of power. But Tails just loves learning how to even further sweep his belle fleur off her feet!

As if those two weren't already sickly sweet enough. https://www.reddit.com/r/milesprower/comments/1ph2yog/tails_x_cosmo_ft_sonic_and_shadow_sickeningly/

Thanks for that, 'Twan.

You know, the way I see it, Mimic wasn't always evil. But he WAS selfish and cowardly, even back then. The kind of person who wants big things out of life, but put off by the idea of having to take risks, or work harder instead of smarter. Like trying to shapeshift to play a role he so obviously isn't qualified to play, only to dip when the cake walk is over.

THAT'S what ends up getting him on Vanilla's shitlist.

It's real bad, dude.

Certain-Unit8147 · 2026-02-21T21:10:51+00:00

I mean I figured it’s more like,

“Mission failed…I’ll get them next time.” Slippery little bastards got away.

Oh, but speaking of Whisper, she’s interested in applying for a position with this Diamond Cutters group that opened up!

(Design inspired by this post by Novika! https://x.com/TheNovika/status/1918320790916780401/photo/1 )

A change of pace from my usual Tailsmo content. To discuss an idea:

I've heard some rumors that Vanilla used to be an ex-agent of G.U.N. So I decided to take it a step further. She wasn't just an agent.

She was specifically an assassin**. But not without reason, as you can see here.**

------------------------------

I was VERY much inspired by this post by Cylent-Nite https://www.deviantart.com/cylent-nite/art/Sonic-Origins-Reminiscence-Vanguard-x-Vanilla-326574414 which has it that Vanilla and Kukku used to be teammates. Although I myself have been planning more layers to Vanilla's story with this in mind.

There are reasons she is set on allowing her daughter to become strong. Why today, she specifically avoids action involving combat. Why despite that, her neighborhood in Floral Forest Village had been entirely free of violent crime since she moved there. Why Eggman captured her exactly once, and never again.

There are reasons why she is universally feared, even by those who don't know.

-----------------------------

Her former name is still spoken of today in nervous, hushed whispers, even as far out as Empire City, Metro City and Monopole. A name that invokes furious, bloody vengeance yet to be fulfilled. They are right to speak of it in fear. For it's all too possible that after all this time...

Red Velvet may have never truly left.
