Thinking about it now, I'm so glad we don't really have to deal with archie stuff. It was a old long running comic I know, so some stuff were bound to be dated, but geez it was so in love with giving characters blood related family a LOT.

Locke, Sonic's parents and uncle, Sally's family, Tails' family, Knuckles' family, Shadow's family (well really just Eclipse) , so many of it. Not to mention the Future gen stuff (there wasn't even a sonadow kid what a ripoff/j)

But with the movies, shows, idw and even the games to an extent, it focuses a lot on the found family aspect and by god does it get to me. It's just all too good.

the thing about the relative characters is that i dont really hate them but a lot of them just feel. out of place? i remember when i was reading archie sonic it felt so weird to me that sonic knuckles and tails all had living biological parents ?? and i know its not the games so things are gonna be different but im so used to barely anybody having biological families and having found families instead and i love it that way. what happened to sonic being tails's mom and dad and picket fence huh archie

i think the only relatives for already existing characters from archie sonic that im not just kinda Whatever about are locke and max who i hate so so much. and eclipse and matilda who i actually love a lot. and uncle chuck can stay too hes fine i guess

and the future stuff makes me sooo mad i hate how they just threw all the found family themes out the window to make a shitty next gen au. i dont wanna make this post too long so i will shut up for now unless i am asked about it again but My god i hate those arcs

#and i know you said the sonadow thing as a joke but personally i dont think that would have fixed it for me #because my main issue with that whole thing is that i just cant see sonic wanting to get married or have kids at all #actually eclipse and matilda dont really feel out of place in the same way the parents do #probably because eclipse has more backstory and reason for existing and we just dont know much about mighty in the games #so eclipse and matildas existence didnt really feel unbelievable or strange at all #also the found family themes are still present and respected in the stories involving eclipse and matilda #like shadow HATES eclipse. he doesnt feel any sort of loyalty to him just because theyre related.#he prioritized his non biological family that he made himself over the black arms #and with the mighty and matilda stuff. matilda and ray are both portrayed as like. valid siblings to mighty #ray isnt seen as lesser because hes not related to mighty by blood like matilda is #its really sweet actually made me yell when i read it #asks #also i agree the found family stuff in sonic is sooooo good. shoutout to sonic and tails and team dark and team chaotix and mighty and ray #and silver and blaze #and those are just the ones you could actually make a case for in canon im leaving out the characters who are siblings because i said so
