Sonic twitter is so fucking miserable, holy shit.
#mogs ramblings#sick of the weekly discourse that just makes me so mad i could puke#over cartoon animals#like who cares#me apparently#i swear to god people just read the comics with their eyes closed so they can have bad faith takes of every character#yuck#im still mad about the humbling thing#i like shadow a lot but all the posts about him literally slapping the shit out of surge to âhumble herâ#smacks so hard of âi hate mean womenâ#its so mean spirited#same with lanolin who is only boring at worst but treated like the devil#Amy rose is the meanest woman sonic fans can handle before they start getting scared#i know sheâs a villain but because of how they approach it she is both a villain yet a frail enough woman not to fight back#like come on#it wouldnât humble her it would just make her more mad

to be honest i have mixed feelings on the idea of the freedom fighters ever coming back . because yeah i like them and i wouldnt mind getting to see them again. but the version of the sonic world theyre associated with is so different from the games that i feel like they cant just be thrown into the games or idw sonic with no changes. like maybe they could be introduced as a separate branch of the restoration or something but i feel like the group dynamic would be a bit different from before considering in every continuity theyre in sonic and tails are part of the freedom fighters too and have known those guys forever. or maybe they could just pretend theyre old friends of sonics who have been here the whole time and just havent shown up onscreen before but personally i dont really like that idea and cant put into words why. idk
#also as much as i like the freedom fighters i find it kinda silly when people act like theyre these super obscure forgotten characters#who dont have much content#like archie sonic was long as hell and the freedom fighters were also in one of the tv shows . no shortage of content there#and sure the freedom fighters may not be the Most popular characters in the sonic fandom but theyre still pretty well liked#sally especially i see a lot of fanart of going around#also bugs me when people talk like sega abandoned the freedom fighters or replaced sally with amy or whatever#i feel like people saying stuff like that were kids in the 90s who had the comics and cartoons as their main/only exposure to sonic#which is fine . and its also fine to be disappointed that these characters arent used anymore#but i feel like as a result of that some of those people dont really get that the freedom fighters werent part of game lore#and its not that sega abandoned them its that they never really used them to begin with#i mean i cant blame people for getting confused because wasnt amy referred to as sally in old sonic cd manuals. idk why they did that#anyway speaking of the amy vs sally stuff. they were created around the same time forcompletely different areas of the franchise#and their actual personalities and roles theyre meant to fill are pretty different . no amy wasnt made to replace sally#they literally only get compared because theyre both girls who like sonic .#and because again some of these people dont really get that sally wasnt in the games ever

and of course only now after i gave up on the idea of going to the movies and just watched wicked by myself, my dad is like 'we might finally go to the movies tomorrow btw. you wanted to see wicked right?' đ i only spent a whole month asking but ok sure
i dont even wanna rewatch it bro. it was good, but holy fuck it was long and i didnt love it enough to wanna rewatch it only 4 days later but whatever
#if he sends me in alone (unlikely) i might try sonic 3 cause people keep talking about it#but that means rewatching sonic 1 and 2. but i just rewatched sonic 1#so hopefully i can rewatch sonic 2 tomorrow lol#if i need to watch that knuckles show i might be fucked lol#but all that said my dad was saying he missed movie popcorn and i think his girlfriend is coming which means we might all#watch wicked together#i hope they like it ig#at least this time ill be able to see it in good quality lol. both visual and audio-wise#my post#my life is a fucking boring cartoon i swear#its only when i completely give up on something that it finally happens for me istg#mostly in video games but also irl sometimes#....hmm maybe i should take that mindset with me to finally getting those last pvz achievements

gonna be starting college soon n the great thing is itâs gonna force me to go back to working on my non-sonic related ocs. those poor lads got completely abandoned </3
#at least i assume it will#i doubt theyâd want me making character sheets n animations about characters based on pre-existing media#itâs both great n not great tbh#iâm worried if i stop working on the sol dimension lads iâll never go back to them#but iâm also glad my funny lil non-sonic cartoon animal ocs will get their fatherâs attention again

You know Sonic the Hedgehog? You probably know this, but in the early 90s, there were two different Sonic cartoons airing at the same time. One was dark and dramatic. The other was a hilarious comedy about chili dogs. And the same guy played Sonic in both shows. Isn't that wild? The same guy playing two different versions of the same guy?

SEGA Mandates explained with their exceptions
Game characters cannot have family members unless they were established in the game canon (Because Archie went overboard).
Game characters cannot be killed off.
Sonic cannot cry or get too emotional.
Exception: Sonic Prime didn't follow this rule despite being canon.
The terms Mobius and Mobians are banned, during the early 2010s, Earth was called "Sonic's World" because they wanted to appeal to 90s Boomers who hate Sonic living on Earth without calling it Mobius, it died down later though.
Exception: Ian Flynn has stated SEGA recanonized Sonic Spinball, which takes place in Mobius, so it exists somewhere in game canon, Veg-O-Fortress even has a cameo in Sonic Origins, Ian also stated Spinball takes place in between Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast.
The heroes must always win at the end.
Characters and elements from Non Canon media cannot be used, Cosmo and the Metarex were potentially allowed to appear but according Ian Flynn, they're off the table now, the Metal Virus serves as a replacement for Robotization, Eggperial City serves as a replacement for Robotropolis, Restoration serves as a replacment for the Freedom Fighters.
Exceptions:
Sonic liking Chili Dogs (90s Cartoons)
Eggman's "I hate that Hedgehog!" and "Snooping as usual" lines (Aosth)
Scratch and Grounder appear in Eggman's livestream in one of the covers for IDW 40
Sonic's "Let's do it, to it" line (Satam)
Sonic being referred to as the "Fastest thing alive" (Satam)
Sonic Spinball being canon again, somwhat canonizes Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, Muttski and Scratch, Ian Flynn has clarified they're just cameos for now but could be a backdoor to make them canon if SEGA chooses to (Aosth, Satam, Archie)
In one of the covers for IDW 31, Storm's mugshot mentions he was arrested by the Knothole Village Police (Satam, Archie)
Tails being afraid of lightning (OVA)
Knuckles's cowboy hat (OVA)
Vector's crush on Vanilla (Sonic X)
Cream's favorite show, the NEXT Show (Sonic X)
The Chaotix Office building appears in the Sonic Channel Comics (Sonic X)
Sticks the Badger appears in the Sonic Channel Comics and is mentioned in English Sonic Frontiers (Sonic Boom)
The Eggnet has been canonized in both IDW and the Games (Archie)
The GUN Commander's name, Abraham Tower (Archie)
Bark being mute (Archie)
Bean and Bark working with Fang as a trio, Sonic even calls them the Hooligans (Archie)
Sally and Bunnie cameo in one of the Sonic Forces prequel comics with their Archie designs (Archie)
Shadow's Chaos Spear being shaped like an actual spear that he can throw or use as a melee weapon (Archie)
Badniks from Sonic Mega Drive appear in Classic IDW (Archie)
The term, Super Badnik (Archie)
Male characters that aren't humans, can't wear pants.
Exception: Tails Nine is allowed to wear pants.
Classic Era characters aren't allowed to appear in Modern Era and vice versa, during the 2010s there was the Two Dimensions retcon because of it, however they later removed it, Team Chaotix are also not allowed to appear in Classic because they considered Sonic Heroes to be their first appearance, however Knuckles Chaotix was recanonized in Tailstube, in the same episode, they acknowledge Mighty, Ray and Fang's Gang and teased a Modern Trip, recently, SEGA is considering retiring Classic Sonic after the disappointment of Sonic Superstars.
Exception: a Classic Froggy appears in various Sonic PICT artwork
Only one Metal Sonic is allowed, not multiple (They must really dislike Shard and Metallix)
Exceptions:
Metal Sonic 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2
Chaos Sonic and Grim Sonic from Sonic Prime were allowed
Shadow: He has the most guidelines out of any character, most of them come from SEGA wanting Shadow to remain an Anti-Hero and not be too heroic, however SEGA has easied up on these with Shadow Generations
Knuckles: Knuckles is the only Echidna and only resident of Angel Island besides Chao and Baby Animals, (Ken Penders lol), Knuckles is also not allowed leave Angel Island without a reason now, prolly due to critiques with games like Heroes
Silver: Silver's Future is off limits, only SEGA can explore that, if they ever choose to
Super Forms: Male hedgehogs are the only ones allowed to go Super, this has been changed with Sonic Superstars and Otherworld Comedy.
Humans: Due to complaints from 90s Boomers, Humans besides Eggman weren't allowed until Shadow Generations
Romance: Characters can have crushes but they can't date or get married.
Money: Only Team Chaotix can talk about money
Rings: Ian Flynn was told Rings were no longer canon, however Rings appear in Sonic Prime and cutscenes in The Final Horizon, which Ian didn't know about
Special Stages: No longer canon and Fang's bio of living in the Special Stages is retconned
Off Limits Characters: These characters can only be used by SEGA/Sonic Team only:
Eggman Nega
Black Doom
Solaris (Mephiles and Iblis)
Infinite

*vibrates*
An idea just drop kicked me in the face, and I needed to get it out...
Read more, due to minor spoilers for Sonic 3
Sonic having a hard time connecting with Shadow, since Shadow only had a couple of years worth of time on earth in the 70s. His knowledge of pop culture is limited to the handful of records Maria owned, the black and white movies they watched on movie nights, and a few serialized shows he would get to see between the experiments he was forced to partake in.
As such, any time Sonic makes a joke, or references one of his own favorite pass times (comic books, video games, cartoons, etc), Shadow's typical reaction is confusion.
Then one day, a roller rink opens in Green Hills.
It's nothing fancy, but it's bright, neon lights and retro decorations definitely make one feel like they've stepped back in time when they enter. Shadow perks up upon seeing it as he and Sonic are running errands for Maddie one day, and so he begs Tom and Maddie for some money, and drags Shadow there. ("Not on a date, Mom, how dare you make that implication!")
Although Sonic has some trouble getting the hang of wheels strapped to his feet, Shadow glides around the rink as if he were born there. All the DJ plays are old records, and Sonic catches Shadow singing along under his breath more than once.
It's almost heartbreaking to Sonic when they have to leave, with Shadow continuously glancing wistfully back at the neon lighting like he's leaving behind an old friend.
As Sonic is dropping Shadow off at the Mean Bean, Shadow hugs him for the first time, murmuring his thanks quietly into Sonic's fur for their day out.
Sonic's blush persists until he gets home, where he is incessantly teased by both Knuckles and Tom, but he thinks it's worth it for the hug he received. He vows to take Shadow back to the rink as many times as he feasibly can.

As a multimedia franchise, it wouldn't be too surprising to see the Sonic franchise's general tone fluctuate between Saturday Morning Cartoon and Epic Drama. Transformers, Godzilla, PokĂŠmon, and Digimon had those similar veins, too.
If I said Sonic the Hedgehog in its current state was caught between Super Mario and Kingdom Hearts, would you say I'm wrong?
#that being said#i would love to see a sonic cartoon that balances both the goofy and the serious#something like centaurworld or adventure time#also as an avid twitter user I've grown weary of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comparisons

idk what happened to make everyone start yelling about the non canon gayest bitches blog but can i just say they were so wrong for having sonadow be the only sonic franchise rep it should have been sonknux ok. they just fit the idea of "characters who have a lot of gay moments but arent actually canonically gay" better if you think sonadow deserved it more you are lying to yourself
to be clear i was not invested in that poll at all i only saw a few posts from it in passing and i dont care as much as this post may lead you to believe i am just a little hater
#i dont hate sonadow or anything i like it when its actually done correctly but#a lot of the ''ohhh they're so clearly in love theyre basically boyfriends already'' stuff is like#a HUGE exaggeration#but sonic and knuckles like. Actually have a lot of weirdly gay interacionts in canon#not saying you HAVE to like sonknux or cant prefer sonadow im just Saying.#like knuckles literally spent several nights in a row staring at the moon and thinking about sonic#and blushes when sonic puts his hand on his shoulder. and also whatever they had going on in frontiers#did shadow do any of that shit. No#again im not trying to start a fight over which pairing is better i like both i just think one fits the theme of the poll better#AND its just silly tumblr polls and harmless ships between cartoon animals its not a big deal i just cant help but have Opinions#other better fits than sonadow would have been sallicole or whispangle but also those are like. semi canon?#and probably too obscure compared to sonadow

AITA for telling off my sister about watching a kid's show?
đŤ for searching!
I (15F) have an older sister, Penn (17F), who is kinda childish. Actually, she's really smart, and can be mature when she needs to be. It's just that her interests are kinda childish for someone her age.
Penn really likes cartoons and video games, and recently she's been getting into Sonic the Hedgehog. At first I thought she was just getting into the Snapcube fandubs, but out of nowhere I saw her watching one of the new Sonic TV shows, can't remember if it was Sonic Boom or Sonic Prime.
Anyways, at first, this didn't really bother me too much. She watched her show for the weekend, and I would get back to my shows for the next few weeks. But then the next weekend, she was still watching the show. When I asked Penn why, she said that she was really invested, and she hadn't actually finished the show yet. She said she was watching it in increments, because she wanted to savor the episodes, which felt stupid. The writing was obviously meant for kids, and the colors felt really bright and glaring to my eyes. I couldn't believe this was how she was unwinding, or how she could "savor" such a bad show. Plus, I prefer to watch as many episodes as possible in one go rather than in separate goes, but to each their own ig.
Next weekend comes, and guess what? Penn picks up the remote before I can get it, and says she's gonna keep watching some more. At this point, I'm pretty mad. I've been wanting to watch my shows all in one go during the weekends, but have been stuck watching one or two episodes at a time after school each day. So I snapped at her, saying, "Nooo, let's watch my things!"
Penn looked kinda hurt, and when she asked me why I said that in such an annoyed tone, I told her that the show she was watching was cringe and just plain bad. I also said that we never watched my shows anymore, only hers, and that she shouldn't be focusing on kids' media when she has college to focus on soon.
Penn got really mad at me for saying that, telling me that she just wanted to unwind now that the third quarter had ended for her school (our school years are divided into four quarters rather than 2 semesters), and that her homework load was lighter. She also said that she hardly ever uses the TV, and that I wouldn't die if she used it just once. She then left the living room in a huff and went up to her room. This was a day ago, and she hasn't spoken to me since then.
I feel like I was really a justified asshole in this. She's been hogging the TV with the Sonic show, instead of focusing on any of her advanced classes. I guess you guys can decide? It just feels like we're both getting older, and that she needs to stop focusing on such childish things. I think that if I help her get into media that's more aimed for older audiences, it'll help her get into more of a mature mindset.

Rare But Not So Rare Sonic Moments
Sonic Swooning Over Amy
So, Sonicâs been kind of the driving force of Sonamy recently. Letâs analyze that.
Iâll show Sonic having feelings for Amy in almost every media aside from Fleetway and the two cartoons she isnât in. Iâll also present the âwhysâ in more detail then just âAmy calmed down.â While thatâs part of it, Iâd like to add my own can of worms. And possible headcanons too. Bear in mind I never grew up with Sonic, so forgive my mixed opinions.
While I love Amy having a crush on Sonic like the energetic sugarplum she is, nowadays Sonicâs oddly been the drive of their dynamic. Any examples of it beforehand? Letâs look outside of the games first.
Sonic X
This Sonic takes more time to himself. Heâs introverted, so his feelings for her isnât displayed as obviously as the others. In fact, most people think he didnât like her in this show because of how much he runs away. He even manipulated her by flirting in one episode. In my opinion this show has Sonic running away from Amy more often than not. Hot take: Sonic and Amy never had a real conversation either. They donâtâŚtalk like they do now. Unless you count,
âOh, Sonic I love you!â âAh! Câmon, Amy. Knock it off!â No, it wasnât constant but still common.
From my point of view, the conversations were short lived to none existent. It was the same in the earlier games too. Compared to how they talked to other characters or now, you might be able to notice. At least until Sonic And The Black Night were he talks to both The Lady Of The Lake and Amy. The two would also have visual gags of Sonic getting aggressively hugged by Amy. Or Amy falling on her face while trying. Aside from one moment in Sonic Riders where Sonic put Amy in danger, it wasnât good or bad. Just cartoony for lack of a better term.
Maybe Iâm just insane. You decided.
Anyhow, their dynamic in X is clearly built on actions. Like Amy giving Sonic a seashell bracelet and Sonic giving her a rose. Those little things. While I do prefer them being able to hold longer conversations, I donât mind how X handles them. But letâs get to Sonicâs crush. I assume in Sonic X Sonic is conflicted. Heâll run away from Amy or try to pull from her on most occasions and others Sonic would constantly hold onto her when he doesnât have to. For a long period on time no less. Amyâs the same way. One moment sheâd be head over heels and other sheâs bashful. Goes to show how young they were I guess. I have no clue as to why Sonic liked her back because there wasnât much to go off of. Except the bracelet moment or her general kindness like feeding him one time. She was a bit much to him and most characters back then.
Itâs possible Sonic just liked her and that was it, but Iâd imagine due to all of the hand holding and small reciprocated gestures were enough to convey something was there. Straight forward and simple like the show itself. I headcanon this Sonamy being where the boyfriend gets dragged into a relationship and is fine with it. This version of Sonicâs attraction seems to be chaotic pink hedgehogs apparently.
Sonic Boom
Should I even explain it? Might as well because not only do I have something different to say, but these two havenât been brought up much. Sonic and Amyâs romance mostly is played for laughs. Not saying their love for each other means less because of that, but the humor is the main reason they exist. Much like why in the main canon they started out the way they did. Regardless, Iâll dive deeper into Boom!Sonicâs affection for Amy to the best of my ability.
Boom!Sonic is egotistical, so whenever he thinks Amyâs crushing on someone else, it bothers him. Apparently heâs the only one sheâs allowed to like. No âRadical Speedstersâ or âCelebritiesâ can take her attention away from him. Like in Sonic X he tries to keep his crush to a minimum. Even though both him and Amy are terrible at it.
The moment in âFortress Of Squalitudeâ a episode where everyone is a bit rude to Amy, close to the end Sonic says, âWe may have a hard time saying it Amy. ButâŚwell you know.â Then she responds with, âYeah, I know.â Itâs such a sweet moment. Not as powerful as most moments with them but for Boom itâs very nice. Sonic and the others still value her as part of the team, but itâs Sonic who expresses it out loud. Goes to show how much he cares about her for even attempting to open up in this instance. Didnât even have to finish the sentence. Amy understood perfectly. I also noticed how much he tries his best to impress her. When he needs to return her book back, finds her hammer in Archie, (Vector did it in the show and Sonic got jealous) shows off randomly or dreams about her, and stopped racing to get her some eggs in one episode.
The funny thing about this Sonic is how much of a people pleaser he can be. Especially since the towns people are very spoiled and ungrateful. He wants to be needed and thatâs possibly why he goes out of his way to do special things for Amy like go out on picnics, implied dates, and comforts her. Sheâs very take charge in Boom and Sonic has no problem calling her out when he needs to. Much like Amy in the show and games. Sonic will even put effort into doing things he doesnât feel like doing for her. How honorable of him. Sure, sometimes he tries to make her jealous and isnât perfect, but he tries. I believe Sonic likes Amy because again like Sonic X Boom isnât canon, so more outright reciprocated feelings are allowed in this case. Not to mention the dude likes being shipped with her in the show. Which is a win in my book.
Sonic enjoys bugging Amy much like a playful boyfriend. He probably admires her leadership, but Iâm saying this by observation. It could be for anything. Maybe he thinks sheâs cute when sheâs mad and finds her temper amusing. It could also be for her stubbornness. Some people like each other because of how much they can relate to their partner and in Sonic Boomâs case theyâre two cuts of the same cloth. Although still different, due to the showâs theme, they carry the same condescending, slightly self centered, hotheaded, stubborn, and humorous traits. But theyâre still good hedgehogs with a heart of gold and usually makes reasonable decisions. Not to mention theyâre both equally shy about their crushes. In Sonic Boom, Sonic and Amy is that married couple who doesnât get along much, but when they do youâll understand why they stay together.
Reboot Archie Sonic
I havenât read the comics (unless you count watching a few dubs and internet reviews) but Iâll give my limited thoughts. Luckily thereâs not much to say. Although most people believe it was unintentional, I donât think itâs too much of a stretch that someone from Archie thought it was a fun idea to have Sonic crush on somone in this reboot. Maybe itâs unintentional but it doesnât seem that way.
Iâm basically using this part of the post to ramble about how Reboot Archieâs Sonic still manages to be a casanova. Heâs like a mixture of his old self and how he is in the games. Thatâs also why he acts the way he does around Amy. Could it also possibly mean heâs meant to like her canonically too? Reboot Archie did have to follow a more accurate way of writing Sonic after all. Anyways, letâs run down the list of Game!Sonic if he was allowed to be down bad for Amy like theyâre already dating. Which is how I view this continuity. Itâs basically if Boom and X had a weird fusion and this version of Sonicâs crush was the result. Except here he manages to be more bold and upfront. He knows what heâs doing. Hereâs a run down.
First of all, THIS. No joke, more of these interactions would send me to the moon. I would explain why but the panel speaks for itself.
Sonic says, âI was worried about you.â Which he hasnât admitted to her before this to my knowledge. He states this by giving her a side hug. Along with other out of nowhere physical affection and flirting. Not to single out Sonally fans. Sonic and Sally clearly have a close connection people appreciate and I respect that. In any case, Sonic and Amy in Reboot Archie also matches energies so much. Theyâre both clearly running off the same brain cell. Youâd think they were together. Theyâd be a chaotic couple thatâll do the most outlandish things and somehow manage to survive them. After willfully risking their lives theyâd do it again because being normal and safe is boring. I promise you, this version of Sonamy would be a huge force to be reckoned with.
-Iâd also like to mention my friend Salty showed an example of Sonic being jealous of Knuckles coming with Amy on a mission and itâs brilliant. Dude gets all bratty about it too. Archie!Sonic does not play around. The post in question.
Sonic Prime
Already talked about this in another post, but I want to mention it again. Prime!Sonic is the most sensitive version of the character, so itâs no surprise he displays his admiration for Amy freely and out loud.
This moment says enough on its own. Sonicâs like this throughout the entirety of Prime and even changes the tone of his voice when speaking to or about her. Itâs so authentic and adorable and makes him stand out against other variants.
Amyâs crush on Sonic in Prime is up to interpretation, but I donât think she likes him in that way personally. Like other characters, Amy tends to be done with Sonicâs childishness. Guess she thinks heâs probably too immature to be boyfriend material whether she has feelings or not. Sonic on the other hand, acts how you wouldnât expect. I personally see him as his own interpretation, so Iâm fine with it. If he wants to have goo-goo eyes for Amy in Prime, itâs cool.
Prime!Sonic has it bad and I wouldnât be shocked if heâd be the one wanting to go out on dates. Maybe heâd cook dinner for her sense he cooks in the show. Iâd imagine Amy declining at first, but does it after his constant begging. Theyâd be swapped version of most emotional to least emotional. Prime!Amy would be a girlfriend who feels more like a parent than a partner.
Unleashed/Black Night
No one can bring up Sonic Unleashed without the lovely Amy meeting the Werehog scene. I love how Sonic didnât like Amy hugging him, but right after she left he solemnly mopes around for probably the first and last time. Heâs never in any game slowly moped around disappointedly before. Proving he only has certain reactions when it comes to Amy Rose. At least in some continuities. Unleashed gives you a choice to go on a date with Amy or not. Then the next game Sonic Team followed through with it, but ended up having Amy mad at Sonic for missing it. At least Sonic tried. Not to mention his reaction to The Lady Of The Lake and him flirting is fun to watch.
See how Sonic still likes her back but it isnât because sheâs âcalmed down?â Sheâs still the same excitable love strucked Amy. There must be something more to it. Other than the obvious answer with Sonic Team wanting to do something with the pear. I have no idea why but having multiple hints even in the past mustâve been done for the fun of it. âWe created this love interest but then railed back to Sonic not reciprocating her feeling. But we still want to market them as a couple in some way.â This franchise never cease to confuse me.
Amy encouraging Sonic in one of the cutscenes couldâve been where he started liking her back. Not in the way he does now, but he admired her none stop compassion and mightâve wanted to return the favor. âEh, sheâs sweet. Maybe a date wonât be so bad.â The fact he went out of his way to get her a chilidog and flirted with a different version of her should tell you enough. Of course it would take a while before anything else happened. ďżź
IDW/Sonic Frontiers
Yeah, after issue 2, Sonicâs never felt the need to run from Amy. From the comics to Sonic Frontiers thereâs a lot of moments of Sonic being somewhat emotionally candid. Not by much, but close. I believe Amyâs the reason for that in a way. Sonicâs not afraid to hang out with her anymore. He even hugs her back on some occasions. âAmesâ was a nickname from fanfics and Boom which became canon over time and he occasionally calls her that.
Sonic wishes to share an umbrella and spend more time with her. He also gets excited to see her more often. Itâs like Reboot Archie but slightly toned down. At least up until the hard to trigger lines from Sonic Frontiers. The same game where he outright admits to being worried about Amy and smiles back at her with a Coco looking between the two. Then he supports Amyâs decision to leave etc. We all know where we are now.
Crazy how the more you look into this franchise the more tiny details you notice. Itâs also crazy how much Sonicâs been into the love interest he originally was already supposed to love. To me, Sonic had a crush on Amy in Unleashed but fell in love with her in IDW. What makes Sonamy gripping though is how unique it is compared to most romantic relationships. Leaves it to be more entertaining whenever something unexpected happenes. It keeps you engaged.
Why Sonic Crushes On Amy?
1. Amy doesnât want to slow him down. Obviously because of IDW issue 2âs love confession with Amy saying âI canât change you. I donât want to change you.â Amy joins Sonic and he includes her more often because of that. His speed is no match for her persistence anyways.
2. She shows compassion and love for those around her. Not just to Sonic, but everyone. Sheâs the definition of soft hearted. Even for people Sonic and his friends would be weary about. Think about now in the recent comics and games where Sonicâs trying it out. I do think it should be more of Amyâs thing then Sonicâs but it just goes to show how much she probably inspired him. Who knows? Even in the past he had respect Amy for her tenderheartedness.
3. Amyâs energy matches Sonicâs. Though sometimes she can be overly enthusiastic compared to him. Even before now, Amyâs always been adventurous and thatâs probably something Sonic liked from the start. Not in a romantic way, but in a respectful way. If he were to have a partner heâd need someone to keep him grounded and be on the same level. No exceptions.
4. Her loyalty. No matter what Sonic does (including times she disagrees) sheâs one of Sonicâs most loyalist companions. Obviously other characters are too, but Amy has her being a long time childhood friend/Sonic 06 and Unleashed going for her. 06 for trusting Sonic over Silver and Unleashed for still loving Sonic despite his transformation. Heck, before she knew who the Werehog was she wasnât disgusted. Amyâs commendable for that.
From all these points here physical attraction isnât included. What I like about both characters is their crushes donât stem to how they look. Though it is worth mentioning Sonic has called Amy âRadiantâ in TMOSTH, but thatâs probably the closest weâll ever get to an outright physical compliment. From Sonic at least.
- Side note thanks to @saltynsassy31 again, Sonic and Amyâs dynamic can be summed up as not a relationship but rather a situationship. Yes, itâs a real word. What does it mean? Basically two friends who has crushes on each other but doesnât do anything about it. Just a fun detail for you guys.
Why Did Sonic Run From Amy In The Past?
Iâll make this quick, but the reason Sonic ran from Amy wasnât because he didnât like her. On the contrary. Sonic always couldâve ran at his normal speed to get away from her. Sonicâs the fastest thing alive. Why would he let someone he âdidnât likeâ catch up to him? I personally think he enjoyed the thrill of the chase. Itâs why I believe he misses it nowadays. Though I do understand Sonic didnât often treat Amy like a friend. Not in a way I can understand at least. Not that I think their relationship was bad, but from what Iâve seen, it was more told then shown due to Sonic and the gang not including her on missions. Amy normally had to catch up with them which was a running gag. Especially in SA2. It might be why some prefere her in stuff like Reboot Archie, Boom, IDW, and Frontiers. Because Amyâs friends includes her on adventures now. At least in my opinion. Correct me if I missed anything.
Final Headcanon
Since Sonic in the games has been the one to push the Sonic side of Sonamy much more then Amy does for herself, Iâd like to think in most cases (especially as their dynamic grows) Sonic would start carrying other versions of him traits like trying to mess with her.
Heâd want to get her to chase him more often and Amy would probably ask once or twice, âWhatâs going on and why are you acting weird?â Heâd definitely play it off as him fooling around. Sonic doesnât know much about romance, but he does know what Amy likes. Maybe heâd ask her out or go on a bunch of traveling missions. Anything to get her to pay attention to him again. After all, thereâs been examples of the guy feeling ignored by her in and out of canon. Itâs possible.
-Thereâs also a consistent detail where Sonicâs finally ready to open up but has to deal with Amy doing her own thing. Or when heâs face with different variants of her, heâs flirtatious with them. For the fastest thing alive, he has terrible timing when it comes to making his mind up.
Conclusion
Welp, there you have it, darlings. Examples of Sonic crushing on Amy more than some would think. Itâs a Sonic character analysis and Sonamy post all in one. I know thereâs more, but I think this gathers examples from the actual content.
Stay Creative! đ

What sucks about the Sonic franchise is that people only seem to like it when the franchise isn't being itself
Sonic Colors is liked by non Sonic Fans because it's kiddy and lighthearted and not dark and edgy like the 2000s games, which is considered cringe to them and the only time people "like" the 2000s games is when they're talking about those obnoxious Snapcube dubs which they's been spamming for 4 years now
New Fans also praise the current voice cast, which sucks because a majority them don't fit the characters
New Fans also praise how Ian Flynn writes the characters, which also sucks because Flynn's version of the characters don't act like the actual Sonic Characters, (Sonic considering himself as a hero, Tails being Jimmy Neutron, Amy chooses to keep her feelings for Sonic secret and having Tarot Cards be her whole personality, Shadow being an edgy dick, etc) but the New Fans keep insisting that the new versions are better
Also to this day, misconceptions about the franchise and 90s boomers who refuse to let go of the US Lore still persist:
His name is Eggman, not Robotnik
Sonic lives on Earth, not Mobius
Sonic is not obsessed with Chili Dogs
Amy is not a stalker
Sonic has never fucking said "Gotta Go Fast"
Shadow is not an edgelord
People thinking the cartoons and movies are canon
People thinking the Snapcube Dub is canon
Majority of the characters are teens (For some reason people think every Sonic character is a grown adult, even characters like Charmy and Tails)
Also a lot of people seem to forget that the franchise was niche/hated during the 2010s, people didn't give a flying fuck about Sonic and even if they did, they brought it up just to shit on it, it was especially worse when Forces and the Ugly Sonic design came out, everything about Sonic in the 2010s was mocking it, nonstop memes and people saying the franchise only works in 2D (What's worse is that Sonic Mania indirectly proved them right)/was never good, etc
Sonic hate is a lot less common nowadays due to the movies, (mocking Sonic 06 is still brought up to this day tho), however i feel like most of it is people pretending to like Sonic, majority of Sonic praise nowadays comes from the Movies or Frontiers's vocal tracks (because of Kellen Quinn), it also goes back to my previous point with people liking the mischaracterised versions of the characters better
The big two Sonic content coming out this year are Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic Movie 3, which has a lot of people hyped because of Shadow the Hedgehog, but it also goes back to my previous point of people pretending to like Sonic, Shadow was heavily disliked by critics and the general audience for being a "edgelord" and looking like a Deviantart OC, so why are people switching up now?
Also from a majority of reactions I've seen, they'll say shit like "Shadow has always been my favorite character" but they don't even know his backstory and when see Black Doom, Maria or Gerald, they go "Who is this!?" (Or make an obnoxious Snapcube joke), I've even seen people ask for Silver, who is a character who was more hated than Shadow and know less about, I doubt they even know he's from the future
All this shit makes me scared that by the time both of these come out, that I'm gonna have to gatekeep the fuck out of this franchise, which is something don't wanna have to do, I just wanna live in a world where the franchise isn't a laughing stock and people actually the franchise unironically

One question that's been haunting me since I binge-read most of the blog whilst doing testing is: in your opinion, what is the primary difference in the worlds of Archie Sonic and IDW Sonic? Obviously part of that is Penders' influence vs. Ian's influence, one's obviously based more on the games than the others, etc... but I feel like more than that, the two comics have a vastly different feel in terms of how their world generally just works in-universe. I'd like to know if this makes any sense, or if I'm just crazy.
I mean, the IDW world literally is the game world now, so yes, there are some pretty huge differences that are immediately apparent.
I'd say that where both incarnations of the Archie universe were much more of an "anything goes" sci-fi/fantasy world with all these different factions and kingdoms and whatnot, the IDW comics depict a more mundane modern/near-future setting that just so happens to have some highly stylized scenery and be inhabited by cartoon furries. (And off-screen humans, now that the two worlds have been reunited, I guess.)
I mean, it's right there in the names of the planet. Archie was set on the fantastical world of Mobius, but the IDW comics are just on a fictional version of Earth. Most of the sci-fi elements are Eggman's creations. There are still plenty of fantasy elements, but they tend to be hidden better. They're a thing for Sonic and his friends and enemies to discover on their adventures, not an everyday fact of life for the normies. In the Archie comics you had people living in medieval kingdoms and underwater societies and Mad Max wastelands and floating utopias and all this other stuff, but in the IDW comics they tend to live in pretty normal modern cities. I'd argue that this makes Sonic feel like more of a larger-than-life hero in the IDW comics, since he's always seeking out adventures in these corners of the world that the average person doesn't know about. Joe from Station Square's never been to somewhere like Sky Sanctuary or Little Planet
I know some Archie fans think this means the worldbuilding in IDW is "bad" or "boring" since there aren't a bunch of high-concept fantasy locations being introduced, but it's just different. The way they did things at Archie was fun, but this matches the vibe of the games much better
