Some Sonamy headcanons 💙💖

[molinaskies]

I rewatched Sonic Twitter Takeover 7 recently and been thinking a lot about this question (this is only part of the answer given) because I had a little epiphany about it.

Obviously these aren’t really ”””canon”””. The lore revelations to be had in these takeovers aren’t supposed to prove any major theories, BUT I like to look at the takeovers as a general guide for how the characters are meant to be perceived at the time of their release.

I remember people reacting to both this takeover and takeover 6 (sonic frontiers) a bit poorly because of how Amy’s feelings for Sonic were downplayed. Given the recent stuff with the Gens remaster, too, this still feels particularly relevant.

Amy’s romantic feelings for Sonic have been downplayed—there’s no denying that—but I don’t think they’re being erased. With the exception of that one clip from takeover 6 (where Amy says she loves Sonic, Tails teases her about it, and Amy backpedals, saying she said “like,” not “love”—very Boom! Amy, btw), Amy’s feelings have still been on prominent display.

However, two things have changed:

1) Amy’s love has matured,

And, more importantly, in my book—

2) Sonic’s response has matured.

In the above clip, Amy states emphatically that Sonic is “her’s” and that she loves him and that he’s perfect, but kind of stumbles over herself once she realizes what she says. Important to note is that she doesn’t take it back at all, meaning that she meant what she said, but probably would have said it differently if she had given it foresight, given the setting they’re in.

This reads to me like Amy is still very confident in her feelings but is making a conscious effort to be less pushy about it—perhaps for Sonic’s sake. However, sometimes it just gets away from her because her love is just so plentiful. It’s cute!

And what makes it even cuter for me is that Sonic is, just, like, totally okay with this?

What does he do when she goofed up and gets flustered about it? He laughs! Short and sweet. He’s very aware of her affection, and he doesn’t mind it at ALL. He loves when he can get reactions out of her (directly or not). It’s in this same takeover that Sonic rags on strawberry shortcake (Amy’s favourite cake flavour) again—specifically to tease her—and he laughs the exact same way, there, too!

(It’s also implied, there, that Sonic gets Amy to chase him, so he seeks out the game just as much as she does.)

Sonic’s response can still read as distinctly neutral on a romantic level, for those who’d prefer that, but objectively it’s a lot more overtly positive. There is no denying that he enjoys her attention.

So, it’s a rebrand. For sure. But I actually find this to be a lot more wholesome? Zainey Amy™️ (when written well and not over-the-top for comedy like in certain games) absolutely has its appeal and deserves its place in canon, but the idea of Amy literally being unable to contain her love for Sonic and her compliments bubbling over is very cute to me. I also find it more powerful and significant because she’s finding her words to express her love instead of just reacting. It’s more thoughtful and reads as more genuine, as a result.

It’s different, but in my opinion, not bad! She’s not boring. She’s still giddy, passionate, loving, and more compassionate than she’s ever been. And Sonic is more accepting (enticed, even) as a result.

I wonder what he’s thinking about

[einelitas]

hello, How are you? Do you have a sonamy fankid?

Sure do

I made him for fun. Still not sure but his current name is Sunny Rose, his shoes will definitely get an update if I were to make him canon

[yogorlhilanne]

Red and blue duos is sega's favorite color duo apparently

Btw, before yall question it, cyan is a shade of blue and pink is a variation of red.

[pretzlforpresident]

I just love Amy and her pathetic wet beast of a cringe fail boyfriend Nikki. Imagine, Instead of Sonic carrying Amy Bridal style, it’s Amy carrying Nikki. Also t4t Sonamy

Anyway, thanks for shedding a light on the Sonic manga, and answering my asks! I hope you have a Great Day!!!!

funny that you say that lol. Love them so much. You know what? I’ll draw it again!

Thanks anon!

[weepingfandestiny]

I saw that you said you liked Sonadow and Sonamy but like how? Like polly???

when i say i like shadamy sanadow, Sonamy this is specifically what i mean

[writingtraumaforever]

Do u have any other ships than Sonadow? i luv ur writing and was just curious if u’d be exclusively writing sonicxshadow or if u’d write others to in the future.

I do!!! I actually ship— don’t hate me now— sonamy AND shadamy. I frankly am far too obsessed with those three hedgehogs to not make them all kiss each other, okay??? Sonadow is just my current otp. Especially with all the content we’ve been getting!!

But I’m a huge headcanon’er for Sonic being bisexual and Shadow being pansexual (I mean— he’s literally part alien, gender doesn’t matter to him). Amy is demisexual, I think. Shes very emotionally-driven, so as long as she feels a strong connection with someone, she believes its fate!

Anyway— yes. I absolutely have other ships. Even outside those hedgehogs. And I totally intend on writing others at some point! Thank you so much for asking!

Remember— anyone is free to ship whomever they’d like. They’re FICTION. So long as the ship is not promoting or romanticizing immoral/illegal acts, there’s no harm in shipping characters.

No forcing opinions around here!!

My main Sonic ships:

Sonadow

Sonamy

Shadamy

Knuxouge

Silvaze

I will graciously accept this gigantic treasure trove you've blessed me with

gotta follow for the Sonamy slander 🙏🙏🙏🙏 SonElise 🤝🤝 Sonadow Sonamy completely backtracks Amys character development (shows she was always a love interest for Sonic and nothing else) AND makes Sonic completely OOC (why would he fall for her after YEARS of saying no??)

Pretty much

SonElise doesn't need to make Sonic ooc for it to work in 06. You can make the ooc argument for Sonadow in some cases tbh (like in some fanfics and Prime), but at least it's not infuriating like Sonamy is.

But yeah, it would feel like regression for Amy a bit if she just got what she wanted after being so entitled about Sonic's love and chasing him, and acting like a spoiled brat at times in the past (even getting physically violent). It would be similar energy to someone throwing a tantrum until they get what they want.

It would also be ooc for Sonic. Yes he can like someone, but he won't ever truly settle down or be in a committed relationship. He's canonically single and likely to stay that way. Sonamy is marketed heavily, but it's because it's a popular ship. In actual canon Sonic is single and Amy's girlfriend status is self proclaimed

It's clear Sonic and Amy have different ideas of romance, and that Amy desires a certain amount of commitment from him that she just won't ever get from an in character Sonic.

Also recent attempts of idw's shipbait with sonamy have just felt super ooc. Sonic isn't one to casually accept hugs, especially from Amy. Amy makes Sonic uncomfortable. Sonic is nervous by her displays of affection and her glomping him. This has been shown time after time in the games. It's a sudden dynamic change that came out of nowhere and is just there for shipteasing and nothing else.

It would be one thing if how Amy acted in the past was acknowledged and she grew from it, and Sonic grew to be more accepting of her affection, but it just... happened. It feels cheap, like SEGA just wants to completely change Amy's character and her dynamic with Sonic out of the blue.

Let's try this again.

[e-vay]

A sick Amy is a stubborn Amy. Luckily Sonic is just as stubborn.

@mochiikuura I know you asked about after they’re married, but I decided to go with the first time Shadow would have experienced Aurora being sick instead because he would have absolutely flipped.

[molinaskies]

So this has been the back of my mind that I need to get off my chest. do you see Sonic interested in having kids in the future?? I know he doesn't wanna be tied down and having children probably will but I can see Amy desiring one and this will kinda conflict between the two. Curious to know your thoughts.

Thanks for the ask!

Hmm, to be honest, I think Sonic would want kids, but not for a very long time.

I also believe the concept of “being tied down” in this context is a bit of a misnomer. I truly think that Sonic and Amy, as an eventual partnership, are travellers. I think they both seek adventure. Even with an eventual kid or two, those hogglets are gonna be some of the most cultured children in the world because they will have seen it all. Twice. (After a few stabilizing years at the start of life, of course.)

Even in times where the family needs some stability, Sonic can just… run. Be free. Go literally anywhere he wants and be back in time for dinner.

What’s important to remember is that he’s not having kids, like, tomorrow. Buddy needs, like, 15 years to acclimate to the concept of children, let alone create them lol

[ask--amy-rose]

Well, maybe…

//long overdue post 🫠

[the-sky-queen]

Tada!!! I updated Rose's design a bit!!! (She's one of my Sonamy fankids for those unaware.) The art in her old pic was like over a year old, so I figured since Elise got a small redesign recently, I might as well do Rose too! (I'll slowly do the rest of the Hedgehog Family and the Robotnik Family too, I promise.) I mostly only changed Rose's quills since I felt they most desperately needed an update. I kept her suit and boots the same since I love them so much. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I want to design Rose a casual outfit at some point. We'll see if I actually get around to that.

For those unfamiliar with Rose, I'll go over her personality and such under the cut!

Rose Hedgehog is the middle child in Sonic and Amy's family. Her older siblings are the twins Joy and Lux, and her younger siblings are Elise and Chip.

Rose is 12 years old. She's very spunky, ambitious, and tends to get into trouble quite a bit by accident. Her dream goal is to become a hero by the time she turns 15. So she's only got 3 years to go! Better hurry up!

Rose can summon a weapon much like Amy can summon her Piko Piko Hammer. Rose's weapon is a staff! She can increase it's length, but not excessively. It maxes out at like a few feet.

Rose has a bit of a passion for design! She designed her suit and boots all by herself and then took the designs to Uncle Tails, who made them a reality for her. She has quite a few notebooks filled with sketches of clothes. Some people have suggested she become a designer when she grows up, but Rose has dismissed those ideas every time. This is just a hobby! She wants to become a hero like her parents!

Sonic Droid probably hugs Amy at night in his sleep, very cuddly lad

That is true of ANY Sonic in ANY universe, haha! He loves snuggling his favorite gal. 🥰
