Chapter 1 Facts:
The first chapter of Side Effects was not only originally a one shot, but the first line, They Told Me There Would Be No Side Effects, was from a writing prompt.
The conversation at the beginning was very similar to my story The Faker, in which one of the chapters Sonic is having a conversation with himself. He was also drugged.
This is the first story I actually had a lot of Eggman actually present, and talking and stuff.
The line 'More Like 50', made me feel really clever. Cause Shadz was saying it. Whoo!
The whole pronouncing GUN is actually how I read it. If it's spelled without the '.'s, I read it like the word, but with it I read all the letters.
Chapter 2 Facts:
'Good Morning Green Hill Zone' is a headcanon of mine, that Sonic says that to himself every morning and every evening he says goodnight.
During the dream sequence, Sonic actually knew it was a dream the whole time, which is evident in 'Shut up. You always did ruin a perfectly good dream'
When Sonic asks Dream!Shadow if he wants to talk about the time he accidentally flirted with Fang The Sniper, it's actually a headcanon of mine, and quickly becoming a running joke in my stories.
When Asher always says it feels like a hangover, it's because Sonic accidently got drunk once with Mighty, and he had one. So yeah, that's how he experienced it.
Triste was actually crying when they split, because one of Sonic's fears is going blind.
Asher's name means 'happy'
I used google translate to translate sad into french, and got Triste. So his name literally means sad. Whoo.
Not much for Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Not a fact, but Sonic is either extremely clever with names Triste, Asher etc. And then you get Frank.
The part where Asher narrows his eyes when Shadow asks him not to touch him, he's actually experiencing deja vu. (If I remember correctly when I was writing it, that's what I intended)
Chapter 5
The part when they're identifying when people call them Sonic, shows how Asher is barely not giving in to purposely succumbing to insanity, and Triste really wants to be Sonic again. I don't know how this is a fact.
If anyone is wondering why Station Square is so huge, is that it's a headcanon of mine, that it's part of Westopolis, (Did I state that in this story?), and that's why they're having such trouble, is because they're going on the edges of Station Square.
Chapter 6 I don't have anything. Nothing much for 7 either.
Chapter 8
I had actually forgotten about Rouge and Knuckles, so I put them in there. Oops.
I said this in a response to a review, but here it is again. The Triste and Asher are about 6 years in the future.4 years Asher was a bit of a villain, and 2 years since Asher go his sanity back.
Chapter 9
Most of Sonic's dark thoughts of killing Shadow come from the other timelines or endings of The Shadow the Hedgehog Game. In my personal canon Sonic can remember the other timelines, but Shadow can't...it's a long story involving timestones I haven't written yet…
I've actually read all of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. So...yeah, in them Sherlock doesn't say It's Elementary, or whatever, but he frequently says My dear Watson.
Chapter 10
The part when Asher says, "'Oh Mirror, you make my head spin." is a direct reference to the fact Shadow's original name was going to mean Mirror or reflection of.
In the last part Asher is acting like a naive young Sonic, or early Classic Sonic, quickly growing restless of the way people treat him like something he's not, and Triste is acting like an older, Modern Sonic who has learned to ignore how people treat him. Anyway, that's how it's supposed to work. I think.
And That's it for poorly edited fun facts today.
