"Sonic's Weird Napping Places"

Part 2 - Amy

Amy loved having Sonic come over for visits. After the years in their childhood when it seemed like she could never be close to him, they'd both finally matured to the point that they could hang out comfortably.

Yes, she still loved him as passionately as she always had. But she could understand better now that overwhelming him with affection wasn't the way to win his heart. Besides that, she loved their friendship, too. The little, lighter things. Like playing video games together, him telling her about his adventures, her teaching him arts and crafts, etc.

He'd come over earlier in the afternoon on a whim, seeming a bit more worn out than usual, and asked if she'd wanted to hang out. Of course she did! They'd spent an hour or so watching a show they both liked, talked for a little bit, then Amy had wandered off to try and finish the mountain-scape painting she'd been working on for almost a week now.

Last she'd seen Sonic, he'd been sitting back on her couch, staring at some vague point on the ceiling as if it held all the secrets of the universe. The room had been silent ever since. She wasn't quite sure what was going through his head; it was often hard to tell.

After an hour and a half or so of painting, Amy stood up and rubbed her sore hand. Time for a little snack break.

She made her way over to the kitchen, making sure to take off her paint-stained gloves before getting food out. "Hey Sonic, you want anything to eat?" she called to the living room as she opened the cupboard.

Only silence answered her.

"Sonic?" she called again, a little louder, but there was still no response.

Half concerned if he was alright, and half wondering if he'd just left without saying anything, Amy walked back into the living room and glanced around in confusion. From her standpoint, there was no sign of the blue hedgehog.

Had he really just left without a word?

She started walking around the couch to check out the window, when she suddenly tripped over a pair of legs and fell flat onto her stomach.

Stunned and trying to figure out what just happened, Amy paused for a moment before trying to sit back up. As she did, she met Sonic's bleary-eyed gaze. He was half sitting up, a couple quills out of place, having quite clearly just woken up.

Despite herself, Amy giggled. "Were you napping on the floor behind the couch?!"

Sonic looked around for a moment before shrugging and nodding. "Yep. It looked comfy."

She giggled some more, and a grin crossed Sonic's face. "You're weird," she teased, poking his arm as she stood up again.

He smirked. "Not the first time I've heard that." Then, with a yawn that was cuter than it should've been, he proceeded to lay right back down where he'd been on the floor and close his eyes once again.

(part 1, even though the order doesn't matter ;D)

Quick Sonamy sketch I made for twitter !

[uninformedamystan]

same ofc people are free to dislike or be skeptical of "reverse sonamy" but for me it seems like a misnomer or whatever lol! It's not exactly reversed, (for me) it's shorthand for sonic just being a bit more open about his affection for amy, whether it's conscious or not.

And deadass u could have amy be just as obvious as ever but sonic could be so obtuse/shy he wouldnt fully realize she likes him back lmao

Listen I know some people are iffy on the whole reverse Sonamy antics going on in speculation for the fourth movie. Some think we’re asking for him to be all goo-goo eyes and a stuttering mess over Amy and for her to be aloof about it.

But no, what I’m asking for is for sonic to be himself but lean more into him being a show off like in game canon. But also to be his movie self.

Like, sonic is himself movie wise but now with Amy in the mix hed subconsciously fix his quills more. Look to see if Amy notices a trick he did on a robots take down.

Of course Amy would probably miss these interactions cause ya know. They’re in the middle of going after Metal Sonic and whomever’s activated him, but she’s probably nursing her own crush on the instances she does catch sonic doing cool stuff.

Maybe it’s when sonic isn’t looking for her reaction. Sonic, obviously, being himself and maybe by the end of the movie they come to an understanding of the crush they have over one another but think the other doesn’t know.

Will the movie focus on a crush for one or both of them? I wholeheartedly think they will.

Will there be an active confession?? Probably not, since SEGA is an ass over such stuff. But I don’t doubt that the movie could be an opening into them making Sonic more open (than he already is rn) to Amy and his own feelings

[jovialsongdefendor]

"Sonamy is canon and sonic likes amy back! he is just shy!"

What. Uh. The claim that "Sonamy is canon and Sonic likes Amy back but is just shy" is a misconception because it lacks clear evidence in the games or official media that Sonic reciprocates Amy’s romantic feelings in a meaningful or consistent way.

Sonic’s interactions with Amy across the games show that he cares for her as a friend and ally, but there’s no solid indication that he sees her romantically. Sonic often dodges or avoids Amy when she expresses her romantic feelings. While this is played for comedic effect, it’s far from a sign of shyness. It suggests that Sonic may not share the same feelings or simply isn’t interested in pursuing romance. Sonic cares about Amy’s safety and well-being, but this aligns with his general heroic nature and how he treats his other friends (e.g., Tails, Knuckles, or even strangers). His protective attitude doesn’t necessarily imply romantic feelings. And that some fans doesnt understand.

The evidence that some fans showed is mostly mistranslations that sega of the wester side do it on purpose when in the japanese version, where sonic is originated created, the text is completly different. So yeah, the voice over where tails read the questions about sonic having feelings for amy in the sonic cd resume of amy being sonics love interest they are already spreading wrong information, so yeah. They are literrally spreading a lie the america sega when they dont have any power on it lol. (sonadow wiki next)

"If anyone uses this to claim that it is Sonic saying that he is calling Amy his girlfriend, that is misinformation/disinformation, they are lying and it shows that they don’t know how to read Japanese at all.

This sentence has nothing to do with Sonic calling anyone his girlfriend. And what is in the parentheses is not a part of the sentence, that is a personal interpretation of what the person thought of after mistranslating the sentence.

What the sentence says is this: “Sorry but, I find a girlfriend to be an inconvenience (burden or discomfort).” or “Unfortunately, a girlfriend is something that I don’t want to inconvenience myself with, you know.”

The sentence in Japanese: “あいにく, ガールフレンドには 不自由して いないもんでね”

If you take the sentence apart (which you can see on this website) you will see each word on it’s own to see the direct translation.

あいにく = Unfortunately or Sorry, but…

ガールフレンド = Girlfriend

不自由して = Doing Discomfort or Inconvenience

いない = (something along the lines of) Do not (when paired with 不自由して)

もん = Something/Person/Thing

でね = You know

Another thing to point out is that the sentence in Japanese does not have the word or meaning “have” in it. “Have” in Japanese would involve the character or particle “が.”

One more thing to point out is that with the incorrect translation, if Sonic was saying that, then it does not reflect in the game it is in, nor future medias where he runs away from Amy constantly (like in Sonic Battle) or considers her only a friend."

Even Ian sayed that amys love is one-sided and sonic considered her as a friend, nothing more. Everyone, including employess, are just lying to this point!

And even in the video down below sonic sayed that is nothing complicated, and she is just a important friend that can be difficult to handle sometimes.

"Oh, but sonic sounds like a boy with a crush"

NO. That doesnt mean necesarrily that he have a crush People claiming "he sounds like he has a crush" are basing their argument on subjective interpretation of Sonic’s tone of voice rather than the actual words he says. Tone can be influenced by many factors: Sonic might be playful, casual, or dismissive because he doesn’t see the topic as serious.

His tone might even reflect mild awkwardness—not because of romantic feelings, but because Amy’s affection can sometimes be overbearing or embarrassing for him. When Sonic curtly responds to questions about Amy (like saying she's "an important friend" or "nothing complicated"), some fans interpret his brevity as embarrassment or an attempt to hide his true feelings. However, this interpretation comes from the fan’s desire to see a romantic connection, not from what Sonic is actually communicating.

Without concrete actions to back up this tone, interpreting it as proof of a crush is a leap. So no, friends, not everything has to be romantic.

And even in the japanese sonic channel amy is still saying that she is a "self-proclamed" girlfriend so... yeah.

And about that some fans sayed that in sonic unleashed sonic gets sad because amy doesnt recognize him and walks away, more like sonic gets sad because with that form his friends couldnt even recognize him anymore and thinks he looks like a monster. that doesnt show that he likes her romantically. He is trying to adapt to his new form, so is understandable that he felts sad with his new form if a friend doesnt recognize him. And about sonic flirting with lady percival thing: bro, sonic is acting normal like he do with knuckles, tails and even shadow. what are you into bro.

SonAmy Headcanons

Because why not.

This is how I personally see their relationship. I’ll try to keep it somewhat accurate to how they’d act canonically. I’d say where they are now is great, but I’d like to add a few things. Some of these may or may not be influenced by other amazing creators.

You are free to steal if you want.

Sonic and Amy mostly act like a couple in private areas or when they think no one is paying attention. They might tell a few of their friends, but often try to keep things discreet. Even if their overall relationship isn’t different in a third person’s perspective.

Tails: “You two sure you’re not still friends or are you actually together?”

Sonic And Amy: “Yes!”

Sonic’s the most chill and casual boyfriend and shows a good amount of affection. Amy is an overjoyed and loving girlfriend who shows a huge amount of affection.

Amy does her best to not tell most people about her and Sonic. Making an effort to call him her “best friend.” Sonic doesn’t mind it much, even saying it’s “not a big deal.” Leaving Amy confused.

Sonic tells whoever he feels like telling that Amy’s his girlfriend without thinking and thinks it’s funny when she’s shocked about it.

The hedgehogs are unsure of what normal couple standers are. They usually already know what works for them. Except who they should tell.

Sonic shows affection by kissing Amy on the hand and hugging her. When feeling extra, he carries her and takes her out on a run. Amy shows affection by constant cheek kissing, hugging, and ear rubbing. (which he pretends to not enjoy but does.)

Examples:

These and basically everything that happened between them recently are what I have in mind in terms of physical affection.

Instead of kissing they touch each other’s cheeks.

Sonic (being a casual boyfriend) puts his arm around Amy’s shoulder indistinctively in public.

Both hedgehogs forget how they got together. All they remember is it happening.

They enjoy having tea with Cream in order to hang out more. And to spend time with Cream of course.

Amy instantly starts cooking more food after Sonic finishes eating.

Sonic and Amy love gardening and cooking together after defeating Eggman.

Amy admires Sonic’s knowledge about plants, guitars, and books. Sonic admires Amy’s optimistic side whenever she geeks out about silly stuff.

Their brief arguments stems to worrying about one another or what cake tastes better.

Sonic’s favorite times with Amy are when he teases her and she chases after him.

Amy laughs at Sonic’s jokes. Even when they’re not funny.

They both find bungee-jumping romantic and relaxing.

Amy and Sonic plays with each other’s quills when they’re bored.

The best dates are when they’re on dangerous adventures. Sometimes dates aren’t fun when nothing crazy happens. On those days, they go find trouble to be satisfied. But normal dates can be cool if it means they get to travel together.

Amy mostly sends gifts on holidays and Sonic gives gifts when she doesn’t expect it.

Sonic only dresses up when Amy reminds him. Amy doesn’t mind if he forgets because she ends up buying him outfits. She even makes Sonic a red hoodie and he wears it a lot.

When apart for a long time, they write each other letters.

Sonic randomly comes over Amy’s place at any time of day without warning. She acts as if she doesn’t like it, but really enjoys the company of her boyfriend.

On movie nights, Amy and Sonic always forget how long Sonic stays and ends up sleeping on the couch together with one head on top of the other. The same thing happens when they go outside for a “short run,” and end up sleeping outside.

The blue blur’s way of saying “I love you” back to Amy is by using sign language or saying “right back at ya.” He’ll eventually start saying “I love you,” later on. Which surprises Amy to no end when he does it out of nowhere.

The romance Sonic and Amy have isn’t only romance, but an updated version of their friendship. The ability to still be their own people even when in different places. Sonic and Amy are a power couple whose love for adventure strengthens their love for each other. The hedgehogs are equally as happy as when they were close friends. That is what keeps them attached.

That’s a rap! This most likely will never happen, but I don’t mind. Them officially being friends with crushes on each other is stellar and I’m satisfied with it.

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.

ooohh lemme jump in!

SONIC SHIPS: Sonamy 😌

(was about to ask about Shadora, too, but Aurora is not part of the games x'D)

Yeah, sorry. No fan character ships. 😅 They are cute, I will say that. Shout out to E-Vay for that!

Sonamy! My number 1 ship with Sonic! They’re very cute!

I admit, I wasn’t too onboard with them at first. I saw too much of the fan work of her more or less harassing Sonic and didn’t get the best impression. But I got into the real stuff. There were some cute moments in Sonic X, but with Sonic’s “free as the wind” attitude, I didn’t see him in any relationship. Then I watched Sonic Boom (love that show!). Amy’s crush was toned down, and they had real moments of just talking and working together. Them trying to hide their feelings was really funny. At first that was the most I shipped them. Just that universe. Of course then I got into the games and IDW comics. Honestly, that did it for me. Amy slowly maturing, but still loving and playful, and just the casual and meaningful moments Sonic had with her. Yeah, I fell for it.

Some people depicted Amy as trying to hog Sonic for herself, but that’s not who she is. She loves Sonic’s thrill for adventure, as she shares that same drive. Amy loves Sonic for who he is, and doesn’t want to change that about him. Amy respecting that lets Sonic open up a bit more to her because of that. For me, Sonic Forces, that time apart, reflecting on the past, gave them the chance to grow and accept each other more than before. The way they’re written in the comics right now is perfect for me. It feels like they could be in a casual relationship, and that’s how I like Sonic. I can see them years from now, still going on adventures, living life to the fullest! 💙💖

[saltynsassy31]

You asked for Sonamy doodle requests? I’ll give you four!

1. Amy pretending to laugh at one of Sonic’s terrible jokes.

2. Sonic casually putting his arm around Amy.

3. Boom Sonic and Amy playing a video game.

4. Prime Sonic hugging Amy tightly.

Have Fun! 💙🩷

I didn't think I'd actually be able to do all of them, but then my sis and friend decided to do a ait down drawing session so....yeah XD

Took that opportunity with speed lol

I didn't use reference for the hug or gaming controllers...or anything actually, but I'm tired so ignore the awkward everything XD

Thanks for the requests!

Also got really lazy with the hug by the end so also ignore how stupid it looks, it's 2 am I'm not gonna fix it vjdjsjwaj

[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!

SonAmy Mixed Doubles Tennis - Paris 2024

Hope you're all enjoying the Olympics so far, everyone! 😊

I haven't drawn anything SonAmy related lately, so I thought I'd make something more casual and fun. Maybe I'll get back to the romantic stuff later, but for now, here's the two of them having a fun and competitive game of tennis as a mixed team in Paris.

Also, in the wake of the news that there won't be any more installments of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, I thought I'd draw this as a tribute to the series.

Enjoy! ☺️💙🩷

[beanbagstab]

Short Sonamy IDW Fanfic thingy:

Introspection/ Realization of feelings / Slight Angst/Sonic centric

Sonic would never admit it, but he has been in love with Amy practically since the moment he had laid eyes on her- though he hadn’t realized that until recently.

He didn’t understand Amy or the way she made him feel. At first, he just thought all girls were like that, weird beings who stir you up inside with their feminine charm but no. After he grew older, met more people- more girls- he realized these feelings only emerged around Amy. After he sorted all that out he decided it was best to avoid her (and these weird feelings) whenever he could. 

After all, he already knew what romance was like. Boy meets girl, they hit it off, girl asks boy for dates and marriage, boy proposes, they marry and move into the suburbs where they watch over their two kids before boy heads off to his 9 to 5 and girl stays back to cook dinner, they grow old, retire, die, and get buried in some nearby graveyard without traveling or adventures or fighting world destroying enemies. 

As far as he was concerned, if Amy had her way, they’d be on a one-way road to a dead-end life. And Sonic hated the Idea of that more than anything. 

So when Amy suddenly grabbed him by his hands and declared she never wanted him to change and wouldn’t want to force him to stay at HQ, he felt something swell within his chest. He stared at her dumbfounded. Huh? Did he hear that right? Was this really Amy, the same girl who would chase him down for miles begging him to marry her?  Before he could get a word out another thought crossed his mind. Had she just said ‘I love you’ to his face? She had said it so casually he had almost missed it. 

He didn’t know what to say to her. Sonic couldn’t speak so freely about his emotions the way Amy seemed able to, so he opted to reciprocate in his own- less direct way. 

He backed up slightly, scratching his nose and turning his head to hide the smile that was creeping up his face. “ You know, you could come with me if you wanted.”

He had offered the same preposition to Tails not too long ago yet, when asking Amy there was an air of awkwardness to it. He was unpracticed when it came to the matters of his heart so expressing these desires felt foreign on his selfless tongue. 

He won’t deny he was a bit upset when she declined, but that was quickly replaced with warmth as he saw the determination in her eyes. She had a job to do that not even Sonic the Hedgehog could pull her away from. To him, it was as if she was saying, ‘I won’t be tied down to you either.’ And the thought of that set his heart ablaze. 

Amy had Sonic’s heart tied around her finger-not that he would ever tell her that but with the way she acted around him, Sonic was sure that some way somehow, she already knew. 

.

.

.

Sonic caught himself sneaking glances at Amy far more often than he’d be comfortable admitting but could you blame him? He hadn’t seen any of his friends for 6 months and Amy was one of his closest. He figured that must be all it was. He missed his friends dearly while he was gone so it makes sense he was feeling a bit mushy. 

But then again, it seemed to be only around Amy did he feel this strongly. 

When she spoke, he found himself hanging onto the last word she said. When she looked at him, he felt himself bask in her attention. And when they were alone, an increasingly rare scenario given the busy nature of HQ, he covetted the intimate way she relaxed in his presence. 

She was so tense as the leader of the resistance and the restoration. He couldn’t recall a time he’d seen the ever-cheery Amy Rose so restrained and subdued. He didn’t like it one bit.

Eye bags and a caffeine addiction didn’t suit her. At least not the her he knew half a year ago. 

He tried not to think about it but, a lot of his friends seemed different; a little wiser, shoulders a bit broader, and a lot more tired. And Amy seemed the most different of them all. He noticed a distinct lack of hugs and dreamy lovey dovey rants. The best way he could put it would be that she seemed more… mature? At least, she was acting in a way a child might believe a mature adult might act. 

Sonic couldn’t help but feel as if she was putting up some kind of act for everyone. Like, she needed to change for people to take her seriously. But could he blame her? No one really took her seriously before- not until she took out her hammer at least. But momentary fear and respect are not the same thing.

Still, he hated seeing her in such a state. A rose deserved to be basking in the sun and swaying in the wind, not withering away in front of a dozen buzzing monitors.  

So he made it a point to invite her out on missions whenever she could afford herself to be stolen away. 

And that's what their mission to the mines should’ve been. Just an easy excuse to take his crush out of that stuffy office. 

But one thing led to another and the next thing he knew, he couldn’t even offer a shoulder for her to lean on.

.

.

.

If Amy seemed depressed before the metal virus, she was down right miserable now. But honestly, he wasn’t doing much better himself. He could barely sleep and needed to be on the move constantly, lest the virus spread further and further through his exhausted body. 

Before he was infected, he never noticed how often the two would exchange little touches. From the shoulder holds he would offer in consolation, to lingering touch in the place their fingers overlapped for just a few seconds too long when he needed to pass something to her.

There had just been too many close calls where he had reached out to hold her before he caught himself and quickly pulled back in embarrassment. He wanted to be close to her so bad he was absentmindedly putting the entire operation at risk. 

After he realized that, he decided it was best he kept his distance.

Best for Amy, best for the resistance, and best for his heart. 

[true-blue-sonic]

Out of curiosity: do you ship Sonilver and Espilver in different "timelines", as it were? Or do they overlap, somehow, like maybe Silver fell for Sonic first before settling with Espio? (I just think it would be funny if Sonic and Espio both talked about their experiences with Silver and how they see each other XD I doubt they'd be the jealous types, thankfully)

Different timelines/universes, indeed ^-^ I very much multi-ship: baby's first Sonic ship was Silvaze and I still really like that one, and I also like Sonamy, and I think Silvamy and Sonaze are cute... XD But the main ship that I really got engaged with through creating things of my own was Espilver, with Sonilver now sharing that place as well. For the others I'm definitely a lot more casual of a shipper, haha!

Quite a while ago when I was first treading into Sonilver I got an ask discussing how Sonic could be many people's First Crush™️, and I remember finding that idea very funny (since it'd also include Espio who'd be quite a bit embarrassed to say so to Silver, lol). Iirc the idea there was that Silver then indeed first fell for Sonic and then afterwards for Espio, with Espilver as the endgame. Awwww, but Sonic and Espio would have so many nice things to say about Silver <3 I think Silver as a boyfriend would be characterised most by how passionate he is in the relationship: he's there for his beloved, and he's protective and attentive and not at all afraid to share the fact he's in love with this specific person he has by his side, no matter who it is. It's traits I think both Sonic and Espio really appreciate in someone, so they've got plenty of kind words for Silver and just how much of a sweetheart he is! But indeed, both Sonic and Espio don't strike me as jealous types: for the both of them I think it'd be most important that the person they're in love with is happy. And thus, they can accept it if that happiness is found with someone else, and not them. But to be quite honest, that's not really the kinda plot I'm interested in (I'm not big on the heartbreak and hurt feelings XD), so that's why I don't ship Espilver and Sonilver as if it were happening in the same universe ^-^

[anniestoney]

Little Sonamy Headcanon

Sonic has this charm that he unintentionally rizzes his admirers but really is a dork when he actually tries to w/ Amy (tho I feel like she'll still quickly melt)

When Amy flirts, she's so corny Sonic would practically chuckle at it more, but when she's just casually saying how much she loves him with the gentlest look, he can't look at her directly.

[howlingday]

Ruby: By the way, we BETTER see a SonAmy wedding in the next series. If they just casually drop Sonic saying, "Oh, this is my wife," I WILL FLUSH MYSELF DOWN THE FUCKING TOILET!

Ruby: I NEED TO WITNESS THE SONAMY, I'M IN TOO DEEP!

[nextgensage]

First post, of course I had to do one of the main protags of this au and the ship that kinda started it all - Silvamy, aka the Rose family! (yes all the kids have amy's last name, more on that later.) Lets get into this sweet yet spicy fam. Silver T. Hedgehog

Age: 42

Occupation (Disaster Relief Specialist/ Timestone Guardian)

Extra Notes - still not fully satisfied with silver's older design, I think its because he's supposed to feel out of place amongst the present day sonic cast to really sell the futuristic aspect, i scrolled through a ton of silver au fanart to get inspo because i was stumped and didn't want to just slap some scruff on him and call it a day, especially since he joined the guardian of powerful gems club with blaze and knuckles (still working on the kinks but basically eggman nega survived his entrapment in the chaotic inferno, found out about the timestones and made little big planet the new holding ground for an infantile infrit, slowly working on "raising" it so he can subjugate the past, present and future and accomplish what his forefathers have always lacked - world domination and an another race against time to save the future ensues.) - Silver is now the guardian of the time stones and got an boost in psychic power and I wanted to give him an indicator similar to knuckle's crescent mark or blaze's forehead gem hence the teal markings. He has pulled an captain america and now safely stays in the past with his wife and kids and works similar to the zone cops of the archie comics but way more powerful and freelance. he also helps out with natural disasters like earthquakes or tsunamis thanks to his upgraded psychic powers. To end on an literal fluffy note, his wife and kids love the extra chest fur.

Amy Rose

Age: 40

Occupation: Event Planner/Fitness Trainer (Part-Time)

Extra Notes - pretty happy with amy's design, wanted to do something different from the long-haired cottagecore amys for sonamy fams, not knocking them - they work well for that dynamic but amy has an trio of very unique kids to parent, an time traveling husband and spends her days dealing with picky customers for all sorts of events and still find time to occasionally teach self-defense class and yoga to young women, she needs to be ready at all times. I wanted to go for an more casual and classic feminine nicole watterson vibe (yes, she is hiding muscles under that sweater dress :P.) - kudos to anyone who can get why she has 

glasses! I think the half-moon ones really suit her!

Zenia Rose

Age: 15 (Born May 23rd)

Powers: Enhanced durability, Enhanced senses, telekinesis, minor chaos energy manipulation, empathetic sensing/linking/inundation, minor telepathy 

My precious cinnamon roll! Zenia was the first serious sonic oc I ever made so I wanted to do her justice! She leans alot more towards her father in terms of appearance, power set and personality being a bit of an socially awkward and humble overthinker but she has her mother’s big heart and very caring and optimistic outlook on life, her parents nurtured her powers and her emotional capability in equal measures and thus she’s pretty well rounded in expressing and understanding the feelings of herself and others, though she tends to get more overbearing with those she’s close with, all round an very feminine girl next door archetype. As far as design goes, I wanted silver’s vibe but amy’s coloring and clear fashion influence with a dash of zenia’s more natural and graceful preferences, so pastels, frills and flower motifs were a go. I’m pretty proud of the idea of how to mimic her dads - lets say, “unique” quill style but make it more feminine so I took the spines at the back of silvers head and moved them to the front to be curtain-like bangs to always give her an demure look and then enlarged and curled his crown of quills and pushed them back behind an headband to give an bump it style, the rest is an homage to those long haired amy designs I mentioned earlier! She looked a lot like amy’s original design when she was an bab. Also her powers are a spring green instead of a teal like her dads because they are weaker and more emotion based. Silver personally made her energy cuffs and couldn’t say no when she asked for an flower design as the insignia. 

Auger Rose

Age: 8 (Born October 10th) Powers: Enhanced durability, enhanced senses, tarot card manipulation, minor precognitive ability (boosted when using tarot cards), minor chaos energy manipulation, acrobatics. Auggie! The quintessential middle child and only boy of the family - Auger’s family never makes him feel left out which he appreciates but he appreciates his own solitude and doing things at his own pace more. Silver initially worried that his own former solitary ventures in his once ruined timeline or even the powers hes gained from the time stones themselves has re-emergence in his son especially when auger revealed how he gets  flashes of the potential future sometimes but eventually amy and silver realizes thats just how their kiddo is, he’s not trying to be standoffish or emotionless, he just does and expresses things differently and thats okay, auger knows his family loves him and he shows the same affection in his own subdued way, plus his sisters keeps him on his toes and lets him shine when need be. Augers design is an mesh of forgotten concepts or concept arts of amy and silver, I always wanted to bring back amys tarot card abilities since thats what technically got her into the main cast plus they are an fun way to connect silver and amys dynamics and personal goals into their kid. I ripped off the hair design from my first actual sonic oc - Specs the hedgecat and tweaked it a bit to fit more inline with auger’s personality - ie tamed but not stuffy. Augers eyes are perpetually half-lidded for an myriad of reasons and he always has that waist belt with him as it carries his own special deck of tarot cards. Can’t remember how I came up with his fur color, He’s an autumnal baby with his twin sister so I just rolled with that I think.  Fun Fact - Auger is a tool with a helical bit for boring holes in wood and is an personal play on the word, Augur which is the ancient roman practice of observing birds to interpret omens! Maple Rose

Age: 8 (Born October 10th) Powers: Enhanced durability, enhanced senses, enhanced strength, piko-piko hammer, acrobatics, spindash, homing attack

The baby of the family, auger’s twin sister and probably the reason amy and silver stopped at three kids. Maple is the wild child of the trio and took all of her parents headstrong traits and cranked them up to 11, having a very strong sense of justice and action taking but oftentimes leaping before she looks. The type of child to constantly be sulking in the principal's office because she fought with another kid who was being a jerk, pouting not because she’s sorry but because she’s getting in trouble for something the bully started. An tomboy playground protector if you will with tons of energy to burn and big dreams to fill. Amy wonders semi-fondly if this is adorable karma for always wondering what a child with sonic will be like as her little girl looks up to the blue blur immensely and wants to be the next big hero of her generation. Amy severely regrets the day she let sonic teach maple how to spindash (fun fact - she’s the only one of her siblings who can do it successfully!) and both her and silver are still trying to figure out how to explain their decorated history with sonic without the girl jumping to fantastical conclusions, this coupled with the fact maple carries her mothers legacy of the piko piko hammer and well…knee pads, helmets and bandages are always running out at the rose household with maple playing hero. All in all however, Maple is an loyal friend and while she can be pushy at times, tell her to back off and she will, having two more soft spoken siblings has certainly helped tame her more out there ideas and tendencies. Design wise - maples coloring was to complement her brothers but I headcanon amy’s father as being an red hedgehog so took that and mixed it with silvers darker hue to make that maple sap color work and I takes cue from the classic rough and tumble troublemaker kids of old cartoons, tooth knocked out and everything as well as using silvers unique quill shape to have the excuse to emulate maple leaves for her hair, always has some form of bandage or dirt on her no matter how many times her mothers tries to keep her clean.

Brutally honest opinion on Sonamy, Sonadow and Whispangle? :P

Sorry for the late reply ><

S0namy:

Hoo boy... I have many thoughts... most not very good...

At best, I'm apathetic towards it. At worst, I'm actively annoyed and/or frusterated by it.

I think it's heavily overrated and isn't that good of a ship in general. The amount of bad portrayals of s0namy outweigh the good and/or okay ones imo, and the toxicity of the fandom surrounding it only adds to my dislike for it.

(I'm not saying everyone who likes s0namy is toxic. There are many people in the s0namy fandom that are chill. Unfortunately, there's a vocal part of the s0namy fandom that is very toxic and gatekeepy)

Alot of s0namy portrayals unfortunately fall into "Amy makes Sonic uncomfortable and/or is possessive, but it's seen as cute" which is a dynamic I really don't like. For example, Sonic X has arguably the most popular portrayal of the ship, but imo is one of if not the worst portrayals of the ship.

Then you have other extreme that the ship sometimes falls into, where I can best describe it as "they sure are standing next to eachother" (Frontiers) where there's just... nothing to it, besides "oh it's the main girl and main boy so you have to ship them, they're obviously meant for eachother!"

Another thing, it can be annoying sometimes how the fandom will exaggerate how much the ship is actually canon, saying things like "they're totally dating! they're a couple!" when in reality Sonic is single and will most likely continue to be. At most, it's teased because it's a popular ship, but it won't go further than that.

So the best way to describe how canon S0namy actually is:

Sonadow:

I like it! I think it's cute! I can't see it working out in canon, but I really like fanon sonadow and it's fun to write.

Also, even though prime sonadow is nothing like sonic or shadow would act in canon, I still think it's cute and it's the only thing I enjoyed about the show lol.

Whispangle:

This one kinda hurts... 😔

I used to really like Whispangle, I thought it was really cute. The mini series did a good job of showing their bond.

But then the city arc happened...

What the hell is this.

Why is Tangle reminding Whisper of her trauma so casually when she was shown to be considerate of her feelings before.

Why is Whisper being shown as in the wrong for being upset by this.

Why does Tangle get a 2 panel half assed apology while Whisper gets a THREE PAGE apology.

After this whole mess, it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't get behind this ship anymore because of how badly this was handled, and how flanderized it is now (it seems very onesided now, a lot of "Whisper angsting, Tangle comforting" over and over)
