idk where people got the idea shadow is better/faster/more powerful than sonic anyways. like no he isnt??? obviously hes pretty close but its very obviously not a surpassing level.

knuckles approaches the "deal 800 damage in 8 seconds" challenge. after multiple failed attempts, he stomps off, fuming. an hour later, he returns, strong, more skilled. after multiple failed tests, he storms off, fuming. stupid challenge!!!! shouldnt bother with it anyway, he doesnt even need to beat it, he can navigate without it!!

a couple of hours later, he scoffs as he sees sonic approach the challenge. sonic beats it first try. knuckles walks into the woods to scream

on one hand i think it should be mostly games with Actual intentional lgbt rep and themes being tagged as lgbt because tagging a bunch of random games as that makes it harder for people wanting representation to find what they're looking for. and ive also seen a lot of people who dont know how steam tags work spreading misinformation or getting their hopes up for nothing because of people tagging random games as lgbt . but on the other hand i think every new sonic game that comes out being tagged as lgbt on steam is hilarious . sonic lgbt icon forever

You: I hate Sonic Prime because it's canon.

Me: Sonic Prime is canon???

You: Yep! It was confirmed to be canon and take place somewhere after Advance 3. That's crazy right?

Me: Super crazy, but if it bothers you so much you should just do what I do.

You: What's that?

Me: Anytime someone mentions that Prime is canon, acknowledge and then immediately forget about it.

You: What are you talking about? How could you just FORGET that? Aren't you a Sonic fan? Don't you know the rules? Sonic canon determines how we think of the characters, it constructs how they're presented both externally and internally. Insisting that Sonic Prime is canon is an insult to these characters and the world that Sega has worked so hard to build!

Me: Sonic Prime is canon???

If ANYONE on here has a favorite obscure sonic game they want gifs/posts about, just ask. I will happily scrounge around the depths of the internet and do everything in my power to find the dustiest pieces of sonic knowledge

[winterr-w0nderland]

Also I feel like everyone but the actual sonic writers understands the timeline better

"Sonic Prime happens happens after Sonic Advance 3" lmao no

[mercyofempty]

may be a controversial opinion but does it matter whats "canon" or not. what even is canon. is it not enough for each media type to tell their own story with the characters without /having/ to keep consistency with the other stories going on

[fettiowi]

Gonna use my refuses to acknowledge canon card

Prime is not canon to the mainline I refuse to believe it

I'm really glad that Sega has allowed Amy to move out of her harassment phase re: her crush on Sonic, because the way she was written back in the late 90s / 00s with regards to her crush on him is not only uncomfortable and not okay behavior (continuing to push yourself on someone after they've said "no" isn't okay even when you're a girl pushing yourself on a boy), but was also really detrimental to her character. Not only did it give people a negative impression of her (her obsessing over Sonic being her boyfriend / marrying her is remembered more often by casual fans than her actual stories in those games), but it also runs contrary to the fact that Amy has always been a kindhearted, compassionate, empathetic person. We see her compassion and empathy with other characters in those same games (wanting to save Birdie from Gamma, reminding Shadow of his actual promise to Maria, helping Cream and Big find Chocola and Froggy), so to then have her turn right around and completely ignore Sonic's feelings / boundaries because of her crush is just . . . bad. It's a bad look, and bad writing. And I don't hold it against her, any more than I hold instances of Tails having bad writing against him. These are fictional characters, they're beholden to their writers. But it's still not great and I'm really glad that Sega has realized that having Amy harass Sonic isn't funny or cute, and has instead allowed her to treat him like she does the rest of her friends: with the kindness, compassion, and empathy she's known for.

you know i do wonder how many sonic characters actually have living parents. like knuckles is the last of his kind so obviously his parents arent around anymore. both guys who could be considered shadows dads are 100 percent confirmed dead. sonic is canonically an orphan im pretty sure. and on the other side of the coin cream is like the only character in the game cast who has a living parent we actually see onscreen. but what about everyone else i dont think theres a straight answer for any other character. other than rouge's mom being mentioned a couple times i Guess but we dont even know anything about her or if shes still alive just that she existed at some point. are these kids constantly putting themselves in danger because they dont have parents around to stop them or because their parents just dont care
