AMY DIDN'T DESERVE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!

lyrics from Boys Night Out — The First Time It Shouldn’t Taste Like Blood !!!! listen to it please it's such a Alex Amy song....

[shadamypositivity]

the fact that they said that proves to me that they don't like Amy bc literally what do you mean?? she already is independent AND head over heels for sonic, you just want her to change

literally everyone was there for knuckles' suicidal freakout EXCEPT the guy who got a whole character arc about how badly he deals with his friends dying

[casperth3ghost]

okay i didnt really understand the whole thing about "well this character would be less hated if she were a man" until i was literally talking to a friend not even 5 minutes ago and they were talking about blaze the cat from Sonic The Hedgehog(2006) (or sonic rush is i think the first game she appeared in... i cant remember), and how they didnt like her, the way she died wasnt meaningful and it had little impact to them, and how silver dying wouldve made the story better(also in general just bashing different female characters in sth? like cuz tehy were women or the way they interacted with the male characters or smth)

and like it shocked me people hate sally acorn because she was simply WITH sonic?? or how blaze could be disliked because she DIED?? TO SAVE THE PLANET??? or how someone disliked tangle because shes too "friendly" or smth

i havent watched the 06 movie in a hot minute, i havent read IDW or archie all the way through yet. i havent watched sat am in over 5 years. but bro theres no way these girls are that bad you have to bash them for being written a certain way. writers can SUCK. i know that, ive KNOWN that. but can a character seriously be written so painfully bad that you hate them so much you want them dead..? especially in sonic.

but like also, if ANY of these women were men, theyd be hailed like king or smth... it just confuses me

Hi, hello, just came here to say that I love your fic "trending in Japan". I was wondering if you had headcanons regarding Kenji or Emi or interpersonal relationships and stuff. Many hugs for you.

hi hello, thank you for the encouragement and hugs! After some thought ive realized I do in fact have some hcs about some of the character dynamics in the movie as well as just kenji himself, cause hes captivated my entire brain:

Kenji & Emi

Emi does not have teeth but she does inexplicably have a teething phase. kenji is forced to hide all his (salvaged) fancy cars in the garage bc the corvette's already been chewed to hell and his heart is gonna give out if he has to watch any more classics get wrecked

he reads her bedtime stories. A lot of aesop's fables, because theyre short and fun and hes trying to raise his monster daughter with good morals. emi goes hogwild for these but its unclear if she actually understands what hes saying; kenji's pretty sure she just likes the silly voices he uses for different characters

they go flying together! they go first thing in the morning before breakfast - it helps kenji shake off the grogginess of sleep and emi gets to stretch her wings. shes not able to go very far for very long initially, but as she grows and gets those cardio gainz she almost gets to be quicker than him. they have races and play air tag :)

while she doesnt have the vocal range to speak english herself, it becomes clear that emi does understand it well. (kenji also develops an ear for her chirping/squawks, though body language & facial expressions play a big part in communication for both of them) during her (much later) rebellious phase she'll simply pretend not to know what's being said when kenji is telling her to do something she doesn't wanna do, which frustrates him to no end

Kenji

developed a pretty massive chip on his shoulder after moving to the states. it wasn't just bitterness over his dad staying behind, though that was a part of it. this is canon but he was picked on in school for "how [he talked], how [he looked] and what [he ate]." he felt like he had something to prove to both his father and the world. he threw himself into sports - specifically baseball - and his academics, and he did so well that it forced everyone to shut up about how he was different from them and focus on how he was better than them

^ playing off this: kenji had a bonkers fucking yonkers routine when he was a kid/in highschool. he'd get up hours before school started to practice his swing, go for a ~1hr run, workout, study, etc. He'd go to school, come home, and do it all again. this is exaggerated but my point is that this kid was DETERMINED and had the discipline to see that determination through to the end

didnt have many friends because of all aforementioned things. he had acquaintances, and he was invited to parties and outings and stuff (never went), but he spent most of his free time hanging out with his mom. he never really had a "parents are so embarrassing" phase. he always liked to do anything with his mother: going to the bank, going grocery shopping, watching cheesy telenovelas till ungodly hours in the morning, etc. she was his no.1 supporter, confidant, and best friend

he played for his university's baseball team and got scouted at 19. his mom forced him to finish his bachelor's first so once he graduated with his degree in kinesiology at 21, he was drafted to the dodgers

Kenji & Ami

both of them, up until meeting each other, were totally dedicated to their career (and child) so they had basically 0 time for friends. theyre both borderline losers but theyre juuust good enough at what they do for people to admire them instead of finding them sad and lowkey pathetic

kenji is way more into the idea of being friends than ami is. hes pretty enthusiastic about it; he thinks that they have a kind of rapport, since they share a similar work ethic and are both (unbeknownst to ami) single parents. he calls her to chat abt random things. ami initially isnt superrrr into it; she thinks kenji is kinda lonely and desperate for human connection, & it isnt until her mom points out that she has not spoken to anyone outside of work-related reasons in 10+ years that shes like oh shit, i am also lonely and desperate for human connection. so she grudgingly acquires a friend. theyre both really bad at it

need to clarify that in my mind their dynamic is 95% kenji yapping about work and drama in his personal life (circumventing the 8m baby kaiju hes raising) while ami goes "mhm mhm" and takes notes until kenji notices and is like What are you doing. at which point ami is like...... right . nothing. im listening. and forces herself to put the notepad away. she has a hard time disengaging from the reporter mindset and just hearing something intriguing without turning it into an article. the other 5% are the rare moments where theyre connecting super well - ami's psychoanalyzing the hell out of whatever kenji just said and hes like what are you my therapist. over time she starts opening up to him, too, and eventually theyre comfortable enough to be having philosophical discussions over breakfast just for funsies

before kenji reveals that hes ultraman, ami thinks hes in a gang. he keeps showing up to their lunch "dates" with like bruised eyes and fractured bones and gets all shifty when she tries to ask about what happened. when she eventually confronts him about it, hes so offended that she thinks hed be involved in something like that that he tells her about being ultraman

thats about all i can think of rn, though im sure ill think of more after rotating all the characters in my head for a while. thanks again for stopping in, i appreciate the support :)

I know that the vackers are the most common example of a messed up sibling relationship but like. what if it was amy and sophie

sophie is extremely smart and beautiful (because she's an elf) and she lives in a world where quite a few boys are in love with her. Younger siblings are often compared to or compare themselves to their older siblings so what if amy was jealous of that and it drove a wedge in their relationship... sophie could also be jealous of how normal amy's life is compared to hers..

TRICK OR TREAT! (+ have a good day)

Its always weird to me to have ppl act lik amy no longer being boy crazy is ruinning her character-im sorry but even as a kid the jokes abt her forcing herself onto sonic was never funny to me, it just made me hate her alot 😭

Its esp more frustratin when ppl treat it as “media not allowing girls to like boys” lmao girlie since when?

Lik im sorry but lines like “now theres no way of you escaping marrying me” werent funny

Theres nothing wrong with boy crazy characters but amy to me personally was just tackled horribly, i much prefer how draculaura from monster high(g1) was tackled-she ofc was boy crazy but it wasnt too much , her relationship w clawd was legitmently cute-unlike sonic n amy

[jazbell]

hm well i didnt really like sonic 3. but feminism did win in the end so.

[vonlipvig]

she wears this beautiful, sexy dress, and all she does with it is act incredibly wet and pathetic. she's such a girlfailure and i love her.
