going to start this post with the fact that im not trying to be a hater right now im just genuinely confused . anyway. the thing about sonic and shadow is that i dont think its a bad ship or that its entirely baseless or that their relationship is meaningless or anything like that. my feelings on so/nadow are complicated but i do like it to a degree . but i also feel like people are exaggerating how much is there in terms of canon backing for the ship (at least in the franchise overall if we're talking sonic prime specifically that makes more sense but prime is also like the spiders georg of so/nadow). like they have their moments but i dont think its as frequent a thing as people act like it is (again at least not in the games/comics) . like theyre just not as close or as obviously in love in the actual source material as some people seem to think they are ..??? some of the stuff i see being passed around as so/nadow moments is just them existing in the same frame .. ??? im not even saying its wrong to ship them or make them be in love in the headcanon sonic universe that exists in your head or whatever i just think that saying its basically canon is a huge stretch and idk what people are seeing between them that im not . sorry please dont get madat me. scampers away like a frightened little animal

#not prompted by anything in particular btw ive just been thinking about this for a couple days now #like i said im not trying to be a hater i just genuinely dont get it #also the way people try to make any and everything sonic and shadow do into proof that so/nadow is canon #even if only one of the characters is involved or its a massive reach or requires ignoring the existence of other characters #(usually knuckles. i could go on forever about the knuckles erasure in all this but thats a topic for another post #and i also always worry it comes off as me just arguing that so/nknux is better when thats not the point at all)#ialso think that some people ar ejust kind of making stuff up and convincing themselves its canon #like for example ive seen people say sonic and shadow are portrayed as a couple in official art and the art in question is just #of shadow standing there and they chose to interpret it as him thinking about sonic even though the art has nothing to do with him?#and i dont think its wrong to have so/nadow interpretations of moments that werent meant to be read that way . do what you want #but i feel like once you get to the point where you genuienly believe that every little thing they do is a hint theyre in love #maybe you should step back for a moment and look at the stories as a whole without the son/adow tunnel vision. idk
