What We Know, What To Expect, & Moving Forward!

Hey Y’All!

By the time this post is made, we’ll be–roughly–eleven months away from the release date of Sonic the Hedgehog 3(2024). As of now, we don’t have a whole lot of information concerning the Knuckles Series on Paramount + and when it will release. The same can be said for the third Sonic movie.  Last time I made an updated post was back in January of 2023. Since then, we’ve gained some new information. I’ve combed through everything that’s been posted since 2021 to compile into a large master post! When leaks and other news resurface, I’ll update this post monthly to share via reblog.

Release dates:

It’s safe to say that the third Sonic movie is on track to release on December 20th, 2024 in the United States. Global release dates for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have yet to be released.

The SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023 has not interfered with the movie’s production. Though not yet confirmed, we can infer that the strike has pushed the Knuckles Series back by a few months. The original release date for the series was meant to release “sometime in 2023” (Otterson, 2023). It is unclear when the Knuckles Series will stream on Paramount +. However, Screen Rant’s interview with Tika Sumpter implies that a release date for the series will be shared on Super Bowl Sunday (Screen Rant, 2024). Super Bowl Sunday is on February 11th, 2024. 

Returning Actors/New Actors:

The following are actors that will be returning to SONIC MOVIE 3:

Ben Schwartz will reprise his role as “Sonic”

Colleen O'Shaughnessey will reprise her role as “Tails”

Idris Elba will reprise his role as “Knuckles”

James Marsden is expected to reprise his role as “Tom”

Tika Sumpter will reprise her role as “Maddie”

Lee Majdoub will reprise his role as “Agent Stone.”

As of now, a voice actor for “Shadow” has not been announced. A “Big Name Actor” has been chosen to voice “Shadow” since 2022 (Klamath Comicon, 2022). The popular rumor is that Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) will be Shadow’s VA (Physical Media President, 2024). This has not been confirmed as of yet. There is no indication that previous voice actors from other Sonic games will appear to voice Shadow the Hedgehog.

It’s unclear at this moment in time if Jim Carrey will reprise his role as “Dr. Robotnik.” The agreement is that if Jim Carrey is committed to his retirement, then the character will be retired completely. Dr. Robotnik will not be recast (Klamath Comicon, 2022). In late 2022, after announcing his retirement, Jim Carrey appeared in an interview with GMA saying that he would make an exception for Sonic 3 if he liked the script due to loving the Sonic series (GMA, 2022).

Other characters–Rachel, Randall, JoJo, Wade, “Crazy” Carl, and characters from the Knuckles Series–have yet to be announced.

The following are actors that will be starring/returning in KNUCKLES SERIES:

Idris Elba will reprise his role as “Knuckles”

Adam Pally will reprise his role as “Wade Whipple”

Tika Sumpter will reprise her role as “Maddie”

It is unclear who the newcomers to the Knuckles Series will be playing. The actor list can be found HERE.

**NOTE: At this moment in time, it is unclear whether or not we will gain new characters in the third Sonic film. Fans hope for Rouge, Amy Rose, Gerald Robotnik, and Maria Robotnik to appear in these continuations. Writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller are aware of there being more female Sonic characters and a need for Sonic characters in general (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022). Also note that characters are meant to take reference from GAME CANON only; characters from comic books, mobile games, and other spinoff titles will NOT appear in the SCU franchise.**

Flexibility & Mandates:

Yes, this is a separate subject. I have received questions about this in the past and continue to today. In 2021, Pat Casey shared that mandates are not a thing when writing the films; they are provided lenient suggestions and have asked for source game material from SEGA in the past (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022). These suggestions are NOT the same as the IDW comics. If the writers are not sure of something about Sonic lore, they contact SEGA. Canon for movies is meant to draw in from the game-verse instead of comic books and spin off titles due to familiarity.

“Everyone recognizes Sonic as a video game icon rather than a TV show or a comic strip.”

New lore can be created–I.E. chaos emeralds being entities within the Master Emerald rather than viewed as separate items–as long as it follows elements of games, and made easy for fans and newcomers to follow (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022).

The movies are NOT canon to the video games, but take heavy inspiration from them. They exist within their own canon universe.

Ian Flynn has NO involvement with the movies whatsoever.

Tyson Hesse is the producer for the Knuckles Series, the movies, and a creative consultant.

Pat Casey and Josh Miller have asked for game-material ONLY for Shadow's characterization, they do not plan to use the comic books or previous TV shows for writing Shadow (Legacy, 2022).

Story and Plot:

SONIC MOVIE 3–It is unclear at this moment in time what the plot is for the third Sonic film. What we can infer is that Sonic 3 will take “heavy inspiration” from both Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow’s solo game for plot (Klamath Comicon, 2022). This does NOT mean that it’s going to be an exact replica of these games. The third film is meant to tie-in with the Knuckles Series. Whatever is shared in the miniseries will be carried over to the movie’s plot (Lang, 2022). The plot synopsis shared in late 2022 with AmyRose, Big the Cat, and Metal Sonic was DEBUNKED by @tailschannel. The synopsis for Sonic 3 released in November of 2023 was DEBUNKED.

Drafting and planning for Sonic 3 began late 2021 (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022). Storyboard planning for Sonic 3 began late 2022 (Welcome-to-Green-Hills, 2022). A finalized script for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was finished weeks before the SAG-AFTRA strike (Pat Casey, 2023). Filming for Sonic 3 began in August 2023 and continues currently (Welcome-to-Green-Hills, 2023). The budget for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is massive (Legacy, 2022).

In 2022, Pat Casey states that Sonic will have trouble trying to reach out to our beloved anti-hero. In the same interview, Pat Casey also stated that the tone of the third film is meant to be a bit darker. Understand that a story’s tone doesn’t always have to reflect a film’s rating, meaning that the story can be dark and still fit within the requirements of a PG or a PG-13 film. Pat Casey also shared with Screen Rant to be prepared to cry with their wild story (Bythrow, 2022).

What we can expect from the movie is a scene at a ski lodge, a GUN car and motorcycle chase scene on a bridge in a Tokyo-like city, scenes at a research facility/storage unit, scenes at Green Hills, and a scene in space.

KNUCKLES SERIES–The Knuckles series is a limited series debuting only on Paramount +. The story follows Knuckles as he teaches deputy Wade Whipple the ways of the Echidna Warrior and goes on an adventure of self-discovery (Otterson, 2022). The limited series is six episodes in total that are roughly an hour long (Welcome-to-Green-Hills, 2024). So far, leaks online have shown that Knuckles, Maddie, Wade, Wade’s extended family, and a female villain will be the main characters for the series. We can expect scenes to take place in Reno, a bowling alley, a diner, and parts of Green Hills, Montana. Lore and stories that take place in the Knuckles Series will continue over to the third Sonic film.

Music Selection:

The demand for Sonic music in the third film and the spinoff series has been at an all-time high. At Klamath Community College’s Comicon event, Pat Casey and Josh Miller have shared their hopes for Crush 40 to appear in the film, specifically the song “Live and Learn (2001).” An interview with Pat Casey in mid-to-late 2022 stated that SEGA’s copyright laws for their music are tricky to include into the films (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022). He and Jeff Fowler (director) hope to find a loophole in the copyright.

Leaks Online:

Storyboards– On January 11th, 2024, Twitter user @/cartoonupdates released 462 storyboard pages of the Knuckles Series and 443 storyboard pages of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Welcome-to-Green-Hills, 2024). These were taken down less than 24 hours after publication. Storyboard leaks for the Knuckles Series depicted a scene between Knuckles and Wade fighting the Black Arms, as well as a person in a mechanical suit. This scene is in front of a bowling alley with witnesses watching and Wade saying, “the flames of disaster.” Storyboard leaks for the third Sonic Movie depicted Super Shadow and Dr. Robotnik in a space station traveling back in time. Super Shadow spins the space station back in time to where Dr. Robotnik is able to see a fight between Super Sonic and Shadow, Agent Stone nursing him to health, and Dr. Robotnik firing a hand laser.

Reddit– At this moment in time, there have been no plot-related leaks regarding the third Sonic movie in Reddit chatrooms. We can expect NDA special screenings around mid-to-late summer, or early fall.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, & Instagram–Leaked set photos of Sonic 3 have surfaced during the SAG-AFTRA strike. These scenes show stand-in models of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles residing in a campsite near a snowy lodge. One leaked scene featured a motorcycle chase scene with police cars and an explosion on a bridge in London, England. Jeff Fowler shared a stand-in model of Shadow’s shoes in a warehouse-like setting.

Rating:

At this moment in time, both Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) and the Knuckles Series do not have a strong rating. However, speculation is that Sonic 3 will push for a HARD PG due to the Slovakian rating/certificate system released earlier this year (Welcome-to-Green-Hills, 2024). Official ratings/certificates for both of the series are expected to release closer to their aimed launch dates. These ratings/certificates are usually given four weeks before released to the public.

Continuation(s):

There are no existing plans or confirmation that there will be a fourth installment of SCU currently. Clarity on whether or not Paramount will approve a fourth Sonic movie can be expected closer to, or after, Sonic 3’s release date. Rule of thumb is that if fans are interested in the series, then Jeff Fowler and Pat Casey will continue to make Sonic-related content (Movie-Robotnik-Positivity, 2022).

On January 16th, 2024, Hollywood Handle announced a potential “Shadow the Hedgehog” title (Hollywood Handle, 2024). It is unclear at the moment if it’s a limited series on Paramount +, or if it’s a movie. It’s also unclear if this rumor is true.

In a world full of technology and misinformation, it is very hard to tell whether or not someone is a trustworthy source. This is understandable. The following are blogs and resources that can be used as a guide (I might miss some, sorry if I do):

For the love of god almighty, do NOT use Giant Freaking Robot as a source. They are notorious for spreading misinformation.

REDDIT (Disclaimer):

Reddit is notorious for leaking NDA special screenings, photos, as well as having members of the SCU crew make throw-away accounts to post teasers. “Leaks” of any kind can be found in either “#SonicMovie3” or “#SonicMovie” chat rooms with a spoiler warning.

Reddit posters that usually make these leaks get to see special screenings of films in mid-production. Understand that these advanced screenings are given to people on invite; they are asked to watch a film that’s in mid-production and critique it for improvement. If leaks are shared about their advanced screening, they can’t always go into full detail due to violation of their NDAs. On the rare occasion that they do share details of the screening, the posts are taken down by both Paramount and by Reddit Staff within 24 hours.

It is also common for there to be two screenings of the same movie with minor tweaks. I.E., in 2019, two versions of the first movie were available for test screening within a week’s time. One test screener’s filming experience featured a “campfire scene” and Longclaw going to earth with Sonic. Another test screener’s filming experience was the same, but featured a Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone fight scene with General Walters. These were scrapped later on and found in the first movie’s “deleted scenes” feature.

The best advice that I can give for checking the authenticity of a post is to look for consistency, as well as HOW test screeners describe their experience. It’s easy to tell the difference between sharing a feeling and telling a fabricated story for likes.

Moving Forward:

Both Tika Sumpter and Pat Casey have shared that any members of SCU CANNOT share anything related to Sonic 3 or the Knuckles Series. They are under a strict NDA contract that could remove them from the projects entirely if discussed publicly. Questions online, private interviews, and so forth cannot be shared unless Paramount gives them permission to. If you ask them a question on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or any other social media platform regarding the movies, they will ignore it. This isn’t them being rude, it’s them honoring a NDA contract.

Expect radio silence for extended periods of time. The third Sonic film is meant to be a major improvement from the last two films. Paramount has been cracking down on leaks and anonymous tippers online for the past two months. There will be times where we receive a flood of information about the films, other times there will be nothing. This is completely normal, I promise.

If Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the Knuckles Series are the end of SCU, know that I’ve had an incredible time enjoying the hype and moments with y’all. What an amazing journey we’ve been on! Thank you! And know that as long as there’s a talking blue hedgehog around, I’ll be here. Until then, let’s enjoy this adventure together!

Miss Amy and the Product Test (Parts 1 and 2)

I was just thinking about this story and realizing that with my old tumblr getting deleted the only place part 1 exists is on dA. So here it is, with the second part added as well to keep it all in one post ~ and as usual I couldn't help but go back through and spruce up a few parts and add some additional hottnesssss~ <33

After the incident at the library, Amy was in serious trouble. Too many people knew her secret, too many were looking to exploit it. And when she overheard the maintenance crew outside her apartment talk of bringing the tools with extra soft quills, she decided it was time to get away for a while. The temporary job she accepted was a cinch – product testing for a cosmetics lab far outside of town.

Following the brief pleasantries, Amy’s mind was at ease. The company specialized in lipsticks and lip glosses. Except she wouldn’t be trying them on, other testers would be trying them and she would receive a kiss so that the reaction in her body could be measured. Unusual, but an afternoon of kissing seemed easy and non-tickly enough. Whisked into a pristine testing room, Amy was sat in a chair and waited for the rest of the group to arrive.

The footfalls of countless heels filled the hallway. Amy broke into a slightly uncomfortable smile. She didn’t expect a whole parade of ladies. One by one they filed in, all looking especially corporate save for three lab techs dressed in white coats. Amy sheepishly fingered her casual short-sleeved black cardigan, which sat atop a blank tank top with crimson flower patterns. She looked at skirts and business pants, then glanced at her girly jean shorts, topped with a thick black belt and a big silver flower buckle.

“Sorry I’m underdressed” She mumbled and blushed.

The ladies exchanged glances, suppressing grins. “Don’t worry yourself dear, it’s not as though we gave you a dress code. And…that outfit is actually perfect.” A woman in a bright pink blazer said, assessing Amy with a piercing gaze. Clearly the leader of the test, she began motioning to the techs and directed a perky blonde lady over to Amy.

“We’ll start with pink rose. Please relax and give us your honest reactions.”

“Wait, wh-mppph” Amy’s question was cut off suddenly by the woman placing a hand on her cheek and pulling Amy in for a deep kiss. Soft lips pressed to Amy’s, applying gentle pressure. Stunned, Amy took her kiss and raised her arms, then lowered them, shrugging her shoulders as the woman pulled back. Amy’s lips tingled slightly.

“Very good. Next is purple passion.”

“But I didn’t even tell yo-mmppphm“

Again, Amy couldn’t get a word in as the next tester came in from the other side, passionately kissing Amy. This woman was more assertive, sliding her tongue along Amy’s lips. Amy fought back her instincts, but her body couldn’t resist these affections. A long thumbnail grazed Amy’s cheek up and down lovingly as plump colored lips pressed over and over to hers.

Gasping, Amy trembled with forced pleasure as the woman reluctantly broke her kiss. A woman with deep red lips was instantly there, smiling and wasting no time to move in and catch Amy’s mouth. “Wait, hold on Iummmphhhh!” This lady kissed so affectionally, her lips rubbing and hugging, that Amy was pressed back nearly falling off her chair. A wandering hand casually stroked up and down her side, tracing the curvature of her body. Amy giggled through the kiss, blushing madly.

One after another, the ladies tested their colored lips on Amy. Kiss after kiss was administered, and Amy couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Finally, with an especially buxom older lady Frenching Amy relentlessly, her nails holding Amy’s cheeks firmly so she couldn’t turn or budge, it seemed the final kisser was done. A lab tech offered to clean the smears from Amy’s cheeks and lips, swabbing around gently. “That was perfect Amy. You are exactly the test subject we’ve been looking for. Now we can get started.”

Amy’s eyes widened. “Wh-what? You just like, gang made out with me! What else is there to do?”

“Amy…did you read the contract?”

“Shite…” Amy once again found her stomach sinking.

“Clearly it states that this test is to measure reactions on various skin regions of the body. The lips are merely the preliminary test to ensure you are receptive to our product and methods. Now, try to relax.”

The lab techs whisked Amy over to a nearby exam table, which had a padded backrest to keep her sitting upright. Again, Amy was surrounded by ladies with especially luscious lips. Some made kissy faces, as others applied fresh coats of lipstick and gloss. The smacking of their lips was so tingly teasing it made Amy squeak. Amy’s mind raced. “Um, I think there is some legalise I need to consult with regarding the filibuster of gerrymandering porkbarrel legislation?”

“…What was that?” The pink blazer woman cocked her head to one side.

“I don’t know, I failed political science…”

A tall woman with a rosy red pair of lips approached slowly, grinning warmly and pursing her kissy tools.

“…and I was kicked out of mock trial for laughing at those words….”

Amy whimpered as the lips attacked her neck, kissing gently, brushing all along the tender skin. Amy clenched her mouth. Another woman appeared at her other side and began grazing soft blue lips over Amy’s collarbone, nudging her cardigan open. “Mmmpp….” Amy bit her big lower lip, trying to hold it back. No, I can’t let them find out. I just have to endure some necking, then we’ll be done. Oh pleeease get off there, please! Amy winced as the lips traveled up her jaw and back towards her ear. The other set was working down her arm, centering right on her inner elbow.

She shook her head back and forth, blonde hairs flailing about. The ladies, undeterred, began nibbling softly, sucking in Amy’s earlobe and inner arm flesh. It was impossible to resist. The lips were the worst tickle tools Amy had endured yet, unbelievably soft and penetrating, teasing and erogenous all at once. When she felt fingers tugging on the buttons of her cardigan, Amy bucked up in the table. “No please! I need a break!”

“Sorry Amy, but we’re on a tight schedule.” The leader pointed a short perky lady over, who flashed a pair of blindingly bright pink lips. “Glittered will be perfect right there.” A red dot fluttered around Amy’s midsection as the woman pointed her laser tool. The lab techs tugged open Amy’s cardigan, revealing a little slash of exposed skin between her top and shorts. Cool breath caressed Amy’s ear, and when a tongue grazed along her inner earlobe, her composure was lost.

Amy squeaked and squealed, and before she could even register that her control was gone, the glitter lips began brushing up and down her exposed midsection. “Nooohoohooo!!!” She burst with giggles, blushing deeply. The air hung in the room for what felt like an eternity. Like light bulbs igniting, one by one the ladies grinned. Their faces shifted to fill with lust, and an unmistakable intent to torture. “Not again…” Amy said softly.

“Is somebody…ticklish?” A squeaky voice perked up. “I think sooooo!” another returned.

The glitter lipped woman gingerly lifted Amy’s top and dipped in again. The other kissers watched attentively. Those teasing lips wiggled back and forth along Amy’s belly, kissing tenderly and blowing gently. Amy’s midsection bounced in protest, laughs tumbling out of her freely. When the kiss broke, a big pink smear was all down Amy’s tummy, diverting around her navel and ending on her side. As one lab tech took notes and examined closer, another produced a soft cloth and a swab.

Amy pleaded. “No no you don’t have to do that. Eeeeee!! It’s not necessaryyyyyyy” The cleaning of her tummy was almost as tickly, with soft tools brushing along her skin to wipe away the gloss and restore it to its pale sheen and triggering tickly explosions. Poor Amy bucked and wheezed on her table, trying to fight off the sensations. The next tester was already in place. “You need to relax Amy. Tension affects our readings.” The leader warned, directing the next tester over who seemed to have the same exact lip gloss as the last.

“Hey that’s the same one!” Amy squealed as her tummy inhaled deeply to try and avoid the incoming kissy lips. Despite trying to suck her belly inward, the tickly lips landed precisely in a sweet spot to the right of Amy’s bellybutton, just short of her side, straight up from her hip. “Nooo not there!!  Stop kissing! That, that…tiiickles too much!!”

“Why do you think I’m doin it?” The girl balked in a city accent, burying her lips in again, sucking in Amy’s ticklish skin and dancing her tongue along it. Amy kicked her feet and flailed her arms. Her midsection twisted and twitched. The kissing tickle followed her every move, landing again and again. The girl’s hands couldn’t help but tease Amy further, tracing along her beltline lightly during the kissing. And when it ceased, again measurements were taken, photos snapped, and that mean swab and cloth returned, ever so daintily cleaning away the residue. Every pass of the cleaning tools heightened Amy’s sensitivity, the cool air on her exposed belly even starting to tickle as the wet spots dried.

The next kisser buzzed her lips teasingly. “Hold still girly. This miiiight tickle!” She guffawed in a southern tone, zeroing in right to Amy’s twitching bellybutton. Amy screamed with anticipatory laughs, and gripped the table as big pouty purple lips descended. They sealed over her navel and paused for a scant moment before blowing loudly. Tears rolled out of Amy’s eyes as she was relentlessly raspberried.

“Not the zerrrberrts!!!” She cried, tummy trying to shake the woman away. But that only made it worse. Shiny red nails closed around Amy’s sides as the woman steadied her prey, her thumbnail tips grazing on the ticklish skin there. Amy’s back arched in response, her sides tenderly grasped, tummy covered in those big kissing lips as a wicked tongue began probing her interior crevice. The supple tongue tip dove deep inside, impossibly curling up to an especially ticklish little region in Amy’s upper inner navel. “Goooochie goooo!!” The woman pulled out to tease before diving back in, licking her lips teasingly.

The lips playing at Amy’s hyper-ticklish midsection sent wave after wave of intense tickling euphoria throughout her slender form. Under that cute top, her nipples crinkled in response. Goosebumps lit up her arms and legs. The erotic energy was too potent to fight. Under those little shorts, a fire was building and nothing would cease its progress.

A wicked smirk crosses the woman’s face as she decided to toy with Amy’s sides, brushing her lips up and down. Her mouth smacks over and over, leaving a bright purple streak. She nibbled and caressed the soft line of skin blowing softly between each unbearably kissy tickle attack. Though she bucked, squirmed, and flopped, Amy could not escape. Dimly aware of the continued warnings from the group’s leader, Amy hazily looked down to see the tech returning with the swab.

“Oh pleeease…please don’t clean!!”

The swirl of the swab in Amy’s navel is outrageously invasive, the tender fibers stimulating the whole cavern of tickles like an electric ball. The tech spent far longer than necessary swabbing Amy’s little belly button, as the ladies remarked about its cute shape. When the cleaning finally ceased, everyone watched as her poor navel continued to twitch helplessly, overloaded with tickly sensations.

A semblance of a fight left in Amy, she began to get up as a crimson lipped gothish girl appeared from the group. “Okay, I think we have everything we need here, so I’m just gonna nope right out of here.”

The ladies smiled warmly, blocking her escape.

“Yep, good job everyone. Yay! You did it! Team effort! Way to shift those paradigms!”

The gang didn’t budge, and when Amy tried to slip between them, her arms were seized and pulled back to the table.

“Oh Miss Amy, tsk tsk tsk, we are so far from done with you.” The leader said, wagging her finger back and forth.

The goth girl leaned in swiftly, catching the top of Amy’s shorts with her long blood-red nails. She tugged them down slightly, exposing the top curve of Amy’s hip bones. Amy barely had a chance to whimper before those evil lips landed, massaging in tight circles with pauses to lick playfully and nibble shamelessly. The helpless test subject howled with laughs, flailing and again trying to fight her way out. This time however, the gang grabbed her arms and legs, pinning Amy down.

“Neeee!!! Stop licking my hips!! That’s not what those are for!!”

“Might as well test some blush too!” A lab tech remarked, producing a big fluffy makeup brush and happily dusting pink powder into Amy’s rim and bellybutton as her hip was licked, sucked, and kissed. To keep Amy further on edge, the kisser alternated between hips, always switching when Amy’s hysterical laughs died down even the slightest bit. Each switch, she screamed anew, torso arching in furious protest, which was met each time with a daintily dancing blush brush.

“Tickly tickly blushy blushy!”

Her navel filled with powder and hips extremely red, Amy breathed deep. Hands lovingly twirled her long blondish locks, gracefully massaged her arms, and trailed along her outfit. The break was only momentary, as now double cleanup duty started. An absolutely wicked looking black feather duster was applied to clean out her blushy navel while the swabs returned to polish each hip in big rubbing circles.

“Gossssh!!! Ssssstoop iiit! You wouldn’t have to clean if you would stoppp kissing and blushing meeee!” She whined, pulling at the arms which kept her pinned down. The techs were completely unfazed, working busily with knowing grins.

“Okay Amy.” The leader started, looking over her notes and flipping a fancy gilded pen between her thumb and forefinger. Amy shuddered. Something about this woman was getting to her. The demeanor, the corporate style. The shiny pumps. That ultra-pink blazer, which she was unbuttoning slowly. “We’re going to move to a new test.”

“You mean like, I need a number two pencil?” Amy asked absentmindedly, eyeing her antagonist closely.

“No, you silly cute girl. We’re moving you to a better apparatus. And testing a new locale on your adorable body.” Amy stared blankly. The woman parted her blazer and revealed a shiny thick waist belt. Amy thrust involuntarily, her arousal levels spiking. The ladies didn’t notice as they had busied themselves preparing the apparatus. But their leader did. She locked eyes with Amy lustily.

Their moment was broken as the girls walked Amy over to the next site. Still looking at the mystery woman, Amy was positioned into a padded chair similar to what one would see in a dental office, albeit with long armrests. Her wrists were strapped down, her legs strapped to the end of the end of the chair. The lab techs lifted her top to ensure midsection exposure. Before Amy could come back down and prepare for the next wave, she was screaming with giggles and laughs as tickly kisses started raining down on her body.

She was kissed along her inner elbows. Kissed and tongued on her neck. Mouths brushed and nibbled her sides. One pair of lips gently nuzzled Amy’s lower belly. Another kissed each finger then began sucking them one at a time. Two kissers took each knee, licking and pecking along the perimeter. The goth girl worked her way back to the hips, landing kiss after tickly kiss on each. And one pair of succulent pink lips was leaning down between Amy’s legs, making out alternately with each thigh.

The flurry of kiss testing lasted less than a minute, but Amy trembled and giggled and shook for at least ten minutes after. Her body was buzzing with sensory overload, so overcome with sensual attention. Each tickle spot twitched endlessly. She didn’t even need to be strapped at this point, as she was entirely paralyzed by the flood.

“You….tickle meaniess…..” She whimpered, head lolling side to side. The ladies laughed collectively. The swabbing and dusting started anew. Amy feebly giggled and groaned, those soft little tools working their way along the same paths that had just been ravaged by glossy lips. “Seriously, ssstop cleaning meeee!”

When they finished, Pink Blazer stepped forth, hand on hip, and showed a visage of pure lustful intent.

“wha….? N—no….oh no, pleeease, don’t….”

The woman nodded assuredly as she reached for Amy’s shorts. “Oh yes, mm-hmm. Yes. Yes.” She carefully undid Amy’s flower-shaped belt buckle and pulled it loose. As she unbuttoned the shorts with agonizing slowness, great rosebuds bloomed anew along Amy’s cheeks and neck.

“No! Pleeease don’t do that…You don’t understand!”

“Yes. Uh-huh. I do.” She retorted matter-of-factly, ever so slowly tugging Amy’s shorts down and revealing a pair of polka-dot panties.

“Oh!”

Once again, the room was silent. The ladies looked on with cat-like curiosity. Pink Blazer’s eyes scanned Amy’s panties slowly, assessing the big swell within. Amy embarrassingly looked away, her body so visibly aroused.

“Well now, you’re just full of surprises Amy!”

She leaned down and began buzzing her lips along Amy’s pantyline. The swell quivered and bounced. The woman’s lips were even more tickly then all her minions. Those perfectly rose colored instruments blew and nibbled and caressed back and forth in long lines. The woman hummed softly with each kiss, sending vibrations along Amy’s ultra tender flesh.

“mmmh!!” Amy giggle moaned. “You’re killing meeeee!”

“Coochie coo Amy. All these special kissy tickles, all for you. I know you like this.”

“Unnnnnf! Ju-ju-jusssst! Jusss”

Words tumbled haphazardly from Amy’s mouth as she shook in her bondage. The woman smiled and caressed Amy’s belly, fingering her navel slowly as she leaned in again, grazing her lips right on the swell of the polka dot panties. The techs joined in, lightly dusting Amy’s hips with blush. A lady wrapped her hands around Amy's neck and starting kissing the back of it lovingly. Amy fought the sensual tickle assault as long as she could.

Which wasn’t very long at all, especially when wiggling index fingers began teasing her nipples through the fabric of the top and nails spidered up and down her sides. The swollen strain of Amy’s panties was at critical mass. Her hips thrust hypnotically up and down. She gasped and laughed and moaned. With one more kiss to the swell in Amy’s panties, she started bucking wildly.

“OOOOHHH GOSSSH!!! SPARKLES! FIREWORKS!” Amy’s giggling moans filled the room. “AHHMMMMPHHHH!” And were cut off as the woman caught Amy’s mouth and began kissing passionately. Amy was kissed, caressed, and tickled all through her coerced orgasm. The soft material held Amy’s organ tight, stimulating her with tickly strokes as she came, magnifying the sensation tenfold. Her princess part poking out, Amy’s surge landed along her pinkened belly. Amy submitted and kissed back, her tongue twining with the leader of the tickly kissy gang.

As the kiss broke, Amy fell limp, giggling limply before starting to mewl, pulling at her bonds begging non-verbally for more attention. The lab techs began cleaning up, eliciting new squirms and wiggles as the swabs and brushes cleaned up the discharge and new coats of lip product. She shook her head and whined out for the woman, kissing at the air now. The techs disregarded her begging and fixed Amy’s top and cardigan, slid up her shorts and buckled her cute belt. Sealed back into her outfit, body trembling as she came down from the high, the test subject began protesting anew.

“You’ve had your fun….can I go now?” Amy mumbled, going wide-eyed yet again as she watched the ladies wheel in a shiny mechanical contraption.

“That was just the preload, Amy!” The leader smiled. With clanking and electrical buzzing, the machine thrummed to life. A big pink smiling face appeared on the machine. Compartments slid open, revealing countless pairs of synthetic lips at the end of long coiling tendrils. Some of the ladies were passionately muah'ing into sensors on the machine, which was fed into databanks and allowed more copies of their plush lips to slide out.

“Now that we have sufficient data on you, we can load it into our kissing machine and get some real results.” The endless lips floated towards Amy, eagerly kissing and flicking their tongues. They locked onto various zones, descending towards Amy’s neck, lips, cheeks, collar, arms, elbows, tummy, chest, legs, and hips. “Don’t worry, she’s very gentle.”

Amy sighed. “I think I need to talk to an HR rep…”

Amy shivered and choked back a deep squeal of disbelief. The domineering leader of the cosmetics lab breathed excitedly behind Amy's ears, her hands closing on Amy's lightly exposed sides to hold her test subject lovingly as she cooed and licked. The machine trembled and floated closer to Amy as she sat firmly strapped to the exam chair. The smiling robotic face taunted Amy, making her whimper as its array of synthetic lips swarmed about.

"She's so excited to see you, Amy. She's gonna tease and taunt and kiss you just right on all your spots. Mmmhmm. All of them. We fed her all that data we collected on your cute frame." Her chuckles tingled on Amy's ears, forcing Amy to watch the machine approach and feel those pangs of helpless sensitivity. "You can struggle all you like. The lips won't be deterred." She held up a remote and pressed a button. With a cute chime, the first set of robotic lips began moving.

Despite the taunt, Amy did struggle. A pair of kissing lips floated towards her neck as if magnetically charged. Their stain was a passionate red, and made "muah muah" kissy sounds as they taunted Amy. Her belly twitched and her legs pulled uselessly as Amy desperately tried to avoid the incoming attack. With a gasping giggle, Amy's cheeks flushed pink and her body trembled feeling the soft affection planting right on her sensitive neck.

"Muah, muah, muah"

"Nuuhhhh~ don't kiss meeee! I can't take any more! Turn it offf!!!" The machine cooed as the leader pressed the button again, and sent another pair of lips, this one a set of bright purple headed right for Amy's arm pursing in a most sassy manner. She yanked helplessly at her bonds feeling the impossibly soft brushing in her inner elbows. Amy laughed out, and released a snickering gasp when the lips began a nibbling routine up and down her inner arm. Her head was flopping side to side already, and the pair at her neck followed every motion.

"Oh yes, so many lovely kisses for you Amy. You're so adorable. You deserve all the kisses and loves." The leader brushed her own pink lips on Amy's cheek before stepping back to take more notes and observe her machine. She held up the remote to Amy and thoughtfully began swirling her tapered finger along the button. Amy shook her head no through gasping laughs. The chime pinged and a pair of dark crimson lips centered on Amy's tummy.

"Tummy tummy kissy kissies!"

Amy shrieked as the lips zeroed in on the exposed slash of skin between her shorts and cropped top. The lips sealed around her navel with a cool embrace and began a raspberry routine. "Gguuuhuuhu it can zerrrrberrrt?!" Amy struggled in shock, the rippling kissing tease pushing her into ticklish hysteria. Her toes curled and hips bucked in protest at this new attack. The lips were relentless, blowing over her twitching button, then popping off with a taunting sound before pausing to select a new zone and starting the process over. Her belly was quickly a mess of glossy smears, each set of impact giving Amy aftershock tickles.

"Muah, muah, muah"

"Of course they can. These babies can do whatever I want. Aren't they just wonderful Amy? And you're getting to test all our newest shades. The ladies just love watching you, don't you girls?" The gang of kissing ladies lounged around the edges of the lab, giggling and chatting and cooing. Amy had nearly forgotten them, and blushed a deeper red realizing the weight of all their eyes on her new plight.

The leader struck one of those authoritative poses that drove Amy wild with wanting, continuing as she again drew her finger along the remote's button. "And when the lips find a particularly delicious spot, they will continue to kiss it and tease it so perfectly. They'll linger and coax out all your best sensations, like a sweet lover." With a beep, the next set of lips was summoned to torment Amy with tickly kisses.

"Muah, muah, muah"

"Whhaatt? This machine is ridiculous you're crazy just lemme gommmhpppphh" a pair of passionate purple lips found Amy's lips and ended her protests with a deep kiss. Amy giggled and slipped a moan through the kiss, her arousal starting anew. One by one all the lips began releasing their kissing only to return on the most tender electric zones they had discovered. The pair at Amy's arms nested in the crook inside her elbow. The set on her neck was nibbling  ever so lightly right under the jaw. The belly kisser found the spot right under her navel and was brushing upwards. The lips on Amy's lips began simply brushing their soft glossy surface on Amy's, and she could have soared into the ceiling.

"Quitititititquitit!! I can't I can't!! I'm too ticklish you're too kissy and these lips are toooo...lippy!! Lips mips gallups niiiiipsss!" The ladies chuckled knowingly as Amy started babbling into batty ticklishness.

The leader held up the remote once more. "Aaaaaamy" She held her finger to the button, faking out pressing it to make Amy squeak and writhe on the chair each time. Finally she chimed the machine again and a pair of naughty blueberry lips sprang forth to begin planting pecks on the underside of each toe. The blue prints drove Amy wild with tingles, a fresh set pressed into each and every toe before going back to kiss again in the crook of the whole set. And when they returned for a third pass to begin suckling on each toe, Amy was almost soundless save for her snickergasps.

"Muah, muah, muah"

The leader couldn't help holding the remote right to Amy's ear and chiming again quickly with a double tap. A matching pair of emerald lips quickly flew to Amy's chest and nuzzled up  under her tiny cropped top to hone in on the nipples. "Thanks for the suggestion cutie pie" More snickering gasps as her buttons were worked over with passionate teasing kisses. It truly did feel like a lingering lover, feeding on Amy's every reaction and drawing her deeper into tickled madness.

"Well would you look at that. You're a mess Amy." Amy wasn't sure how long it had been going on. She gradually became aware of the endless lip prints all over her skin. It felt like every bit of exposed skin from her outfit was being taunted with residual kisses. She could feel every kiss now. The lips hovered nearby, eagerly blowing kisses. Worse yet, some of them we lingering and blowing puffs of air on Amy's most tickled spots which made her squeal out in teased agony. That shining pink face never stopped smiling at Amy, just floating nearby to remind Amy of her plight. "Luckily, we have a routine just for this purpose."

With a new chime, Amy screamed a giggle. The lips began sticking out their synthetic tongues, floating back towards her overly teased and sensitized body. "Don'tttt!! You don't understand!! Well you do but I'm just sayinnn!!" Amy managed through her gasping laughing groans feeling the tongues licking up her body, right back on those hot spots. The tongues darted along her arms, up her neck, along her belly and beltline, down each and every toe, and swirled over her nipples. The teasing touches cleansed away the colour stains and left her skin extra tingly.

Amy shuddered and giggled so overloaded as her skin began to return to that pristine pinkened state. The tongues polished endlessly, swirling and lickling to their master's satisfaction. "Aww, it's just a little licking. Don't you like the cleansing routine Amy? You'd better get used to it, after all sweetheart."

She tried to shut it out, push out those teasing words and this swarm of sensations, but the lips shocked her back into reality by returning to brush all over Amy's face. They kissed at her ears, dipping their tongues inside. The lips brushed her cheeks, kissed at her lips and licked all over her neck. "Geeettt awayyyy nuoonununuu you're kiling meeee!!" Amy's face vanished in the flurry of activity, lips working in tandem to cover her with affection. They reared back and dipped in, synchronizing to completely overwhelm their lovely target.

"Mmmmpphphhheheheheaggoshshshmmpphphh"

"Muah, muah, muah"

Again Amy was left gasping. Her face was a mess of lip prints. Instead of cleansing, the leader was once more fixated on Amy's royal zones. She rolled up the crop top, unbuckled the oversized flower belt and tugged Amy's shorts back down. "Sorry Amybaby, I simply must. I need that princess part, mmhm. You need these wonderful tickles. And I know just how to give them." This time, she did not allow Amy to keep her cute polka dot panties. With a sly grin the leader adorned in pink hooked a finger into Amy's undergarments and began slowly tugging them down. A single pair of lips joined the tease, kissing at Amy's hips to tease further.

"Let's see it now. These cute panties are adorable, but they need to come off." She tugged lower, Amy moaned out feeling the pressure releasing on her swollen princess part. "There we go. Beautiful, so pretty." The leader smiled and held out her hands. One of the other ladies opened a bottle of massage oil and let it fall to her boss's hands from high above. The strict leader never broke eye contact with helpless Amy as she began rubbing her hands together.

"Nnnhhooo. Nooo pleeeease don't...that tickles sooo bad you don't even know!!" Amy pleaded seeing those soft hands heading right for her erect princess part. The woman nodded yes, yes, yes, seizing the quivering part and squeezing it ever so gently, her other hand reaching down to lightly scratch at the perenium.

"Oh, my yes I do Amy. You love this. And you wanted a job, didn't you? Well you're getting it." She began pumping Amy slowly, making her moan. The machine responded by sending the lips back in to kiss at their most tickly teasing, circling around Amy's bouncing belly and sides, and down to her feet to lick the soles.  "In fact, you're getting two Amy!"

The leader reached over to hold up the remote once more. The chime started and an especially sassy pair of red lips shot into view.

"Muah, muah, muah"

The leader held Amy's princess part at the base and took her other index finger to lightly draw on the underside up to the glans. She worked her skilled craft to ensure Amy's naughty part was fully engorged and ready to be overloaded by the machine, no matter how Amy tried to fight it. The red lips lowered further and further. Amy's eyes rolled back into her head as she snickergasped endlessly. Her body was paralyzed with sensation, the last set of lips taking in her swollen princess part, planting a red kiss before working downward.

"Make sure to moan real good for us Amy, we're streaming this to all our affiliates. They just love you, and we're definitely having you back."

Amy could barely register the words though there was no mistaking all the cameras humming and training in on her body. She could sense the giggles and taunts. The muahs. The hum of the machine. But most of all she heard that sound of the lips at her princess part. And felt the insanely tickly sensation rocketing down her sex and radiating through her body. She could barely stay conscious during a blowjob under the best circumstances. But the tickly kisses kept her from fading entirely. The machine smiled and worked Amy into the edge. The lips followed a dynamic routine, tickling and teasing and tickling again, nuzzling their softness on the underside of the tip before going down again. Speeding up with their kisses and raspberries before slowing for a moment and ramping up. The leader never stopped teasing Amy with her fingers, stroking the underside of her princess part and inner thighs with the lightest of touches while she leaned in and made little taunting moaning sounds to match Amy's.

"I'd say you need to beg to cum for us, but I don't think you're capable of such words now babydoll."

After an eternity of torment, Amy's body seized, locked into a bonded thrust of teased pleasure. Her form coated with kiss marks, sensitized pinkened skin, and a little trail of drool. She ticklegasmed right into the kissing red lips, right under the touch of the leader. And the machine did not stop nor did its operator. "Gotta make sure we got it allll~" She sang, speeding up the lips to kiss under the tip while she pulled out a mini vibrating wand to coax every drop by buzzing Amy's royal chest buttons and princess part while tickling with skittering nails all over the belly.

The aftershocks still coated her form, though she could tell some time had passed. The leader had released one of Amy's arms and was holding up a contract for the company. Amy's head lolled from side to side. She faintly signed her name and stuck her tongue out in a sassy half-sleeping gesture. The leader smirked and held the remote up again.

*LONG POST WARNING*

What your favourite New Who Companion says about you (absolutely no offence meant towards anyone, this is just for fun):

Rose: Either the most vanilla person alive, or an RTD era purist. Has spent years fighting for the honor of the RTD era. Ships Ten and Rose to the degree that they shudder at the thought of the Doctor having a relationship with someone else. Is constantly at war with Amy stans. Part of the reason for the RTD enjoyer vs Moffat fan civil war. Usually nice in real life, and quite nostalgic for the Tennant era, so usually OK to be friends with. Unless they say Mickey was treated fairly, at which point, you should run.

Mickey: One of the most kind-hearted, empathetic people, who saw how Mickey was mistreated by Rose in S2 and immediately just wanted to check if he was OK. Is able to hold decent relations with Rose stans due to Mickey's character development after the relationship, and has a surprisingly strong alliance with Rory fans. Was gutted when they heard about Noel Clarke's horrible behaviour and actions.

Adam: Let's be real, we all forgot this guy existed and for good reason.

Captain Jack: Every night, they lie in bed, haunted by the ghost of Torchwood. Loved seeing Jack again in S12, but felt disappointed after his lack of presence in Revolution of the Daleks. Has modelled several aspects of their personality on the Captain, and has the dating life (or lack thereof) to prove it. Cried at the deaths of Ianto and John Barrowman's career.

Martha: Basically Rose fans, except with slightly more indie music taste. Either that, or a person who knows how integral Martha is to 10's character arc. Has attempted to defend the "Space Jesus" scene a couple of times, and cried with happiness when Harbo Wholmes said that it worked in his review. Has a bit of a patchy relationship with Rose stans due to the Doctor's rebound arc, gets along better with Donna stans due to the fact that S4 acknowledged that 10 mistreated Martha. Generally has good taste and is nice to be around, just don't mention how undeveloped her relationship with Tom was.

Donna: Either a child of the late 90s/early 2000s who had the joy of watching New Who at it's peak in 2008, a person who really appreciates great character writing and an excellent series, or someone who just wanted a break from the companion having a romantic subplot. Often gets into heated arguments with Amy stans by (correctly) saying that Series 4 was better than Series 5. Uses Donna's funny dialogue and quips to hide the fact they are still recovering from one of the cruellest companion exits in the show. Generally nice, but very defensive of The Doctor's Daughter.

Wilf: I love these guys. Knows that a) Wilf is the single best character in the entirety of New Who and b) he counts as a companion. Has the best possible taste, and is an absolute joy to be around as a result of it. An emotional wreck after every single rewatch of The End of Time, especially now that the legendary Bernard Cribbins has left us. Has excellent relations with Donna stans, and was similarly overjoyed when they heard about the 60th. Refuses to admit that The End of Time would have possibly worked better as a 90 minute special.

Amy: Definitely has followed the eons-old teaching of "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" at some point. Refuses to admit A Good Man Goes to War was mid and that Amy really badly mistreated our sweet prince Rory in a large chunk of S5. Is really happy that Karen Gillan made it big in Hollywood. Friendly unless you say you prefer Rose to Amy. Could not be comforted after that cameo in Time of the Doctor.

Rory: Their favourite episode is usually The Girl Who Waited. Loyal, friendly, introverted and lovable, they of course identify with Rory's slightly long-suffering but accepting and funny character. Understandably annoyed at how Amy mistreated Rory in S5, but happy that S6 & 7A fixed that marriage. Thanks to Rory waiting for 2000 years, their bar for any personal relationship has been set insanely high. Celebrated when the BBC actually allowed Arthur Darvill to style his hair in S7A. Had to check Rory was definitely dead at the end of Angels Take Manhattan due to Moffat killing him whenever more tension was needed in a story.

River Song: Divided into two groups. Those who like River Song's more nuanced appearances in Silence in the Library, A Good Man Goes to War and The Husbands of River Song are awesome. Those who prefer the episodes that Moffat wrote with one hand, less so. Was overjpyed to see the Moffat Era reappraisal of 2020, only to be slightly disappointed when people said S6 was his weakest series. Wierdly enough, gets along nicely with all other companion stans. Has definitely said "Hello sweetie" to their partner/partners/friends/pets. If they prefer 12 and River to 11 and River, pass them the aux on a long journey (trust me on this one).

Clara: From my personal experience, there is a 60% chance that they are a closeted bisexual. Doesn't get why Clara was so overhated, especially in S9. Is wierdly OK with admitting that Victorian Clara was slightly more interesting to begin with, but knows that the character worked so well in 12's era. If they ship 11 and Clara, keep an eye on them. They haven't fully earned your trust yet.

Bill: Heterosexuality was never an option. Gets along well with Clara stans, as they both know how much the 12th Doctor's era s l a p p e d. Had their emotions mangled during the S10 finale, but fortunately came out intact thanks to that puddle and a happy-ish ending. Loved that Bill called 12 out on his bullshit and asked all the trivial questions we were all thinking. Singlehandedly drove the Moffat Era reappraisal over quarantine. Has the best fashion sense out of all the stans.

Nardole: A terrifying enigma. Looked at all the companions with complex stories, interesting arcs and major development, but instead went with the comic relief. Yes, Nardole is funny and a great support character, but... er... how? They can be nice. They can also be fans of Little Britain, which is a red flag. It's a roll of the dice.

Graham: Bradley Walsh was the highlight of the slightly undervalued S11, and they know it. Definitely has the vibe of being 10+ years older than they actually are in terms of attitude, but in the best way. Has definitely owned a pair of cords in their life. Goes into Doctor Who just looking for a fun hour of entertainment rather than lore. Great to hang out with. They always bring snacks.

Ryan: Tries to ignore the fact that Ryan has the most fucking insulting depiction of dyspraxia in any form of media (sorry, I have dyspraxia, and the way it was treated in S11 & 12 just really rubbed me the wrong way), but is also helpful and really in favour of spreading awareness. We're cool for now.

Yaz: One of the nicest, most well-intentioned people you will ever meet, always defending the underdog, supporting others and just being sweeter than a tea with six sugars, but also a master of illusion. Has read so many fan fictions, seen so much fan art and shipped Thasmin so much that they have tricked themselves into thinking Yaz is a three-dimensional, well-written character whose story was not completely made up on the go by Chibnall. Little more than a defeated husk after Power of the Doctor, being rewarded for all those years of fanfics, shipping and defending the era with a couple of longing stares and some hastily written "will they/won't they" scenes before 13 unceremoniously booted Yaz out of the TARDIS. Thinks Demons of the Punjab is the best 13 episode when it is really The Haunting of Villa Diodati.

Dan: Is more of a fan of John Bishop and his charisma than they are a fan of Dan, or is a terminally online person who thinks quoting "Evil Dan" videos makes them the funniest human alive (it really doesn't).

I saw a while back you were asked what your favorite interpretations of Shadow and Amy were.

While I don’t disagree (haven’t played heroes so can’t comment there, but have beat SA2) I was curious on your views over Sonic 06 version of Shadow? Ignoring the heavy problems with the game itself, I’m personally a heavy fan of the VA and how he acts.

It may be selfish of me… but I kinda wish Amy got more interactions with Shadow instead of Silver. I get WHY they did it, but I feel like it could of been nice to have them reunite and maybe even contrast the end of SA2 y’know?

First post about my favorite Shadow & Amy portrayals, SA2 and Heroes

Follow-up about Sonic Battle and Sonic Chronicles

I love both Shadow AND Amy in that game!

06 Shadow in particular has been getting a ton of interest in the past few years, and it’s wonderful to see. I considered including it in that first post about my favorites. 06 being such a failure gameplay-wise really screwed things up for the series for a long time. Sega learned all the wrong lessons. No more humans apart from Eggman. No more dark, serious plotlines. One-dimensional characters. No playable characters apart from Sonic in mainline games. None of the others can talk to anyone but Sonic. Obviously there were exceptions to this, but the series lost so much. Sonic 06 is older than most Sonic fans, but we’re only just now getting all of that back with Frontiers, IDW, etc.

This would have been bad enough on its own, but coming off the heels of Sonic 06, it hurt that much more. Sega decided Team Dark weren’t friends directly after their most poignant interactions. Shadow knew who he was. He knew what was important. And he knew he could trust the best friends by his side. When’s the last time he was so self-assured? That’s the downside of the 06 timeline being erased in the end. We know Shadow and Team Dark’s potential, but he doesn’t remember any of it.

That said, I’m ultimately still glad it’s erased. I’d hate for Shadow to go through life knowing the humans would reprogram his own best friend to hunt him down and lock him up forever. It says great things about Shadow, but it makes me like the humans a lot less.

It’s thanks to 06 that I consider Shadow to be the biggest hero in the franchise. This clip encompasses everything that makes his heroism unique:

“If the world chooses to become my enemy...I will fight like I always have.”

Iconic. Badass. I love the way he drops his inhibitors as he talks. This is Jason Griffith’s delivery at its best.

Sonic fights to protect his friends and the planet he calls home, along with the humans and Mobians who all love him, but there are SO MANY people who’ve treated Shadow like filth, and he still protects them. There’s no one else in canon who’s that selfless, and I also like that 06 doesn’t lean on Maria as the reason he does all this. Shadow himself is a good person and does good things for his own reasons, not just because she told him to.

Heroes proved this, too. Shadow didn’t even remember Maria in that game, but he still made the right call. Maria’s important, but she’s not the only reason he’s a good person.

Jason Griffith does a very good job as Shadow here and elsewhere, but David Humphrey is and always will be my favorite Shadow VA. If Jason is an A-rank, David is S-ranked. I’d be thrilled to have either of them back.

You’ll never see me judge anyone for wanting more Shadow/Amy interactions. I’ve thought the same thing with 06, and I love the Silver/Amy bits, too. She has an adorable scene with him AND starts him on the path to redemption. It’s the Amy Rose Special. I also like how she and Shadow inadvertently worked together to turn him around. Amy raised a question Silver hadn’t thought to ask, and Shadow showed him the answer.

But what this demonstrates to me is that this didn’t have to be an either/or situation.

It would’ve been nice for Amy to reunite with Silver and see how he turned things around. They were both there for the final battle, but they didn’t speak to each other. What if they’d had a scene with all three of them together? I hypothesized about that possibility in headcanon #99.

Side note: I just want to say that I think Amy is great in 06. She has the same cute accidental hug/elevator speech combo she used to turn Shadow around in SA2, but people sleep on it in 06 for some reason. On top of that, a lot of fans willfully misinterpret one particular line of hers. And anyone who knows Sonic 06 knows which one that is.

“If I had to choose between the world and Sonic, I would choose Sonic!”

I’ve seen so many people say she’s a dumb, ridiculous fangirl for this, and I can’t stand it. She’s not saying the rest of the world doesn’t matter, she’s saying that she has so much faith in Sonic as a person that she’d take his side even if the rest of the world said he was wrong. And, uh...she has good reason to! It’s not the first time he’s been falsely accused of something. It’s like these fans conveniently forgot what happened in SA2 the second they saw an opportunity to hurl insults at Amy.

You know what Amy’s line reminds me of most?

“Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you, know that I’ll always remain by your side. Remember that.”

Yeah. That line everyone loves about ultimate loyalty for someone you care about. The line that many consider to be Rouge’s best. The only difference is that Rouge is a calm young adult talking about a friend, while Amy was an upset young girl whose feelings were too big for careful phrasing and restraint. Combine that with how much hate there was for her at the time, and you have a great, dedicated line absolutely drowned in ice-cold, bad faith takes from the fandom. And Silver needed that fervor to make him question Mephiles, too! It had to be her! It was because he saw how strongly she felt about Sonic that he started having second thoughts. You think a calm statement like Rouge’s could have made him back down from attempted murder?

Much like with Shadow in SA2, it had to be Amy. 06 did a great job with her. Some fans still need to wise up about it. They’ve been recognizing how awesome 06 Shadow is, so maybe, just maybe, they’ll do the same for Amy someday.

contestshipping dutch dub rambling

i am a very proud dutch person (not really). and since pokemon doesn't only exist in english, it means it exists in dutch, too. i've watched the entirety of the pokemon series in the dutch dub (aside from journeys, could not bother to watch it) and i have gotten terribly attached to it.

seeing i am a huge contestshipping fanatic, let me spoil you with some funny rambling, facts and that stuff from the dutch dub (from my knowledge). pokemon tv has officially been dropped since march, so i cant really rewatch anything.

(poor) translations in the dub:

in ''pros and con artists'' the english dub drew says it's sweet that may remembers her, but in the dutch dub he quite literally says ''how cute/adorable that you remember my name!'' though it is way much more fun poking. though i am gonna pretend it is differently.

instead of pronouncing drew correctly, several characters tend to say ''droo'' instead of ''drew''. this is because dutch people can't properly pronounce SHIT.

in ''come what may!'' when may asks drew if the given rose is for beautifly, instead of saying ''something like that'', he says ''lets leave it at that''

in ''deceit and assist'' the translations are once again terrible, as in the scene where harley brainwashes may into thinking only using assist would be wise, drew says ''showing one movement'' in dutch instead of ''showing one move'' (as in moves that pokemon learn) in this episode brock also calls beautifly “butterfly”

in ''win, lose, or drew'' instead of may saying ''what a creep.. and you dress weird!'' may is straight to the point and says ''what a mistake (as in he's one).. AND YOU LOOK TERRIBLE!!!!'' harley instead of just saying ''you fell for it hookline and sinker'', he quite literally says, translated literally, ''and you fell for it with wide open eyes, dumb/ugly thing!''

in spontaneous combusken, when may asks drew how many ribbons he has, instead of saying ''what counts,'' he quite literally says ''no idea''.

also in spontaneous combusken, when may assumes drew had sent the letter, drew in the english dub responds ''except that's not mine'' but in the dutch dub he just goes ''that's fun anf all, but it's not mine''

when may and solidad talk about drew, and that they talk about other people's performances, solidad states (in the dutch dub) that when ''they talked about 'negative/foolish' performances, he started talking about her'' ouch.

fun voice actor facts:

harley's dutch voice actor (tony neef) is actually gay.

harley's dutch voice actor also plays professor oak and the pokedex for a short while during the AG series.

harley's dutch voice actor is also an (musical) actor, singer AND songwriter

may's dutch voice actor, nicoline van doorn, is also a singer, but also a sing teacher, apparently.

may's dutch voice actor also plays some beloved characters such as korina in pokemon, amy in sonic boom, and princess cadence in my little pony!!

drew's first and original voice actor, sander van der poel, also voiced goh in the pokemon journey series. I know I said I didn't watch it, but that doesn't mean I've seen NOTHING. he also voiced ira in the precure doki doki dutch dub... he was replaced though after two episodes. dont know why.

drew's second dutch voice actor (who was replaced in advanced challenge), huub dikstaal, is a voice actor, dialogue director and also a translator.

drew's dutch voice actor, huub dikstaal, has also played characters like woody in toystory, aaron (elite 4 from dp), molayne, master gi beon (horizons) and so many background characters i could hear him scream in the dutch dub of precure doki doki.

not so much of a fact, more of a flex, but i actually indirectly know drew's dutch va, huub dikstaal XD one of my supervisors at school (i am kind of incapable of going to school normally at the moment) told me her husband works with voice actors n such. and when I asked her if he'd worked with drew's va before, she immediately was like ''i think, yeah!'' n confirmed it later. so he's a friend of a friend of a friend to me, basically!

i know absolutely nothing about solidad's dutch voice actor beside the fact she played, well, solidad, and hunter J(ay) from dp i have NO CLUE how to spell her name. and a background character in mlp, too. the only other funny thing i'm able to tell is that she voice overed a dutch furniture ad.. or something..

some unnecessary doodles + headcanons.. n.. whatever...

down here some silly doodles of my favorite harley's dutch voice actor quotes/answers he'd given through a stressing interview while he's pacing around the place.

in case you cant read it in the images:

''who can't you be without?'' ''my husband''

''the club or tinder?'' ''what or tinder? oh, i'd say the club''

''wait guys im going the wrong way we need to go the other way''

''what would you do if you were a girl for one day?'' ''well, i'd dress myself up to look amazing. and flirt with men... wait what was the question?''

''sing the first thing that comes up'' ''in the canaaaals of amsterdam....~♪♪♪ what are these questions? this sucks!''

''your best date?'' ''he was soooo sweet.... i dont remember his name, though. dont think he ever mentioned.''

''should we leave?'' ''yeah, big fat buh-bye!''

*the interviewer tries to leave but sir starts chasing you with a fire lighter canon thing*

whatever.. this is. i am may and drew’s basically every single 10-18 dutch year old guy teenager.

thank you for listening to this dumbass rambling! sorry i have no funny doodles of drew may and solidad their dutch voice actors didn’t have much videos of them online 💔

Round 3: Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) vs. Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls)

Propaganda below the cut

Amy Rose (12):

All she did was be a girl with a one-sided crush on the hero and she immediately got branded as a creepy obsessive stalker. Never mind how she has an actual character and personality and interests beyond Sonic himself. All of that gets ignored and her entire being gets boiled down to "yandere for Sonic"

Mabel Pines (12):

I literally saw a tiktok today about how Mabel is a bad person. She’s 12! Like yes, she has made some mistakes and bad choices, but so has everyone else. And I never see any of the other characters in the show criticized the way she is. Everyone in the show has made mistakes (Grunkle Stan commits crimes practically every episode ffs) but because Mabel is a 12 year old girl and acts like it, she gets the most hate. Mabel deserves to be loved 🩷

----

girl gets so much flack for being... immature and kind of selfish at age 12? like she had whole video essays made on why she is a horrible person who deserves punishment. god forbid girls be silly

----

!!! Spoilers for Gravity Falls last 5 episodes !!!

This has gone down a lot but when the Weirdmaggedon arc was happening, the finale of the series, a big part of the fandom started hating Mabel because she accidentally caused the Weirdmaggedon (basically an apocalypse + bizarre shit like the water tower becoming an eight-legged monster with a giant mouth).

For context, in the episode that starts this arc, "Dipper and Mabel vs The Future", Mabel is really excited to the end of their summer vacation at Grunkle Stan's house, since it will be her and Dipper's 13th birthday and they will enter high school (her idea of high school of course coming from teen movies). But then this whole idea starts to shatter when Wendy tells her that high school isn't like a Disney musical, but it's okay, she will get through this since she will be with Dipper, her twin brother...

Except, that Dipper receives an invitation by Grunkle Stan's scientist brother Ford to become his apprentice after summer ends, staying in Gravity Falls, without Mabel. When she discovers it, she gets really mad at him and in a fit of rage, she accidentally picks Dipper's bag instead of hers and runs off to the woods.

When she gets there, Blendin, a time-travelling friend of theirs finds her and tells her that he has a way of making her brother stay with her, and make the summer take a little more to end, and that he just needed a little thing that Dipper has in his bag. That thing is a dimensional rift that Dipper and Ford contained to not cause the Weirdmaggedon, but Mabel didn't knew about that and gives it to Blendin. Blendin then breaks it and it's revealed that Bill Cipher was controlling Blendin to get the rift and release the Weirdmaggedon. He then traps Mabel in a bubble, starting the final arc of the series.

So, a few episodes later, that bubble she's in is revealed to be a world of fantasy that she controls, and that she didn't want to leave that world, as she was scared of growing up etc.

Context given, A LOT OF PEOPLE HATED HER FOR THIS. Suddenly people started seeing Mabel as just a selfish girl who wanted things only her way, when she was only a 12-year-old scared of growing up without her twin brother (they do end up going back together at the end but still).

The worst part is that apparently the people behind it took note of this, and on the comics that where released after the finale, she is a selfish spoiled brat. I haven't read the comics though so I'm going off what some people said about it.

[000marie198]

"When you get your memory back, you'll remember that low profile isn't my thing."

Alright, this line stemmed a fan theory in me. Sonic shattered the Paradox Prism and absorbed its energy but he himself was having a few memory issues. But there are no alternate versions of him. That's probably because the Prism's energy shattered the universe and everyone in it into various aspects of it and the characters except Sonic . He absorbed that energy instead of it breaking him as well. And Shadow Chaos Controlled so he wasn't even part of that process, he travelled through space time so he doesn't even exist. He's not part of the Shatterverse like everyone else and that's why he cannot leave the void.

Thing is, all the Shatterverses put together sort of makes up the main world. Shattering the Paradox Prism shattered the world around into its fragments. Like, the extremity of wildlife and nature, the extremity of the ocean, the extremity of isolated barren land, the extremity of a high tech city. Put them all together and it makes up Mobius, having a bit of everything so it balances it all out. Anyways, that's about the world but it's also what's going on with all the characters, seen most prominently in the main cast. For example, Rusty is Amy's badass and sassy side, Thorn is her love for nature and warrior spirit and compassionate but angry side, Black Rose is her friendly and insane side. Nine is Tails' intelligence and sassy and determined side with a matching backstory, Mangey is his feral and baby side, the one which is connected to his fox instincts and is the baby brother who seeks affection. And Sails is his friendly but shy side. And Knuckles' couldn't be clearer with one being honorable and loyal, one being paranoid and one being outright unhinged and insane who goes possessively protective for a shiny gem (ya know, don't touch the Master Emerald mode). Rebel is the side of Rouge that helps the world and is loyal, Batten Rouge is excitable and social, Prim Rouge is her sly, selfish and manipulative side. I wonder how Rouge's world would be. They still haven't discovered the Yellow shard and we have main ones Sonic needs to earn the trust of in Nine, Thorn and Dread. So there's still Rouge. That one might be the true Jewel Thief side of her. The different alternates even though they seem vastly different than their original characters still feel so in-character because they are different aspects of the same character, just amplified.

Anyways, I'm going off on a tangent. Thing is, Sonic wasn't 'shattered', for the lack of better term, like his friends were but still was affected by the Paradox energy so he was having brief and scattered memory issues. However, everyone else who was shattered like the prism spectrum has no memory of the original world.

So what if, when the shards are put back together, if not all at once but one by one, all the alternates get a piece of the original's memory back? Random scattered bits and pieces. Can you imagine the angst and realization and confusion? Nine already knows what could be happening because Sonic told him but imagine him getting bits and pieces of Tails' memories back as if they were his own but disconnected. Like putting puzzle pieces together, the image becomes clearer and clearer every time. And if that happens, I can't help but imagine how this might change the motives of them all. Would they, particularly Nine (who doesn't know whether the world can be restored or not because from what he said to Sonic in the Grim, he doesn't believe it can be fixed. ["The one you lost"] To him, Sonic lost his home and might not have it back and he was offering him a home too, trusting him like he had never trusted anyone else in his life), be willing to help out after seeing tidbits of a universe that was beautiful and peaceful? A universe where they were all a family and had a home. Could seeing the moments of a life he wishes to have shift Nine's motives?

Restoring the Prism might put together the different worlds to restore the original. The alternatives could all be gone. So, would they all, at one point, have to choose between their current lives and who they are now, to them being nonexistent but be whole? The potential angst of Nine having to choose between himself and Tails, the life he wishes he had and who he has become now. The potential conflict of Dread choosing between being selfish and holding the power or being trusted with a duty and trusted as a friend. I can already tell that Thorn will choose to be Amy over being Thorn.

Anyways, imagine the potential angst! The possible goodbyes... The "See you in Green Hills, Buddy."

Sonic's Biggest Fear

One day, Tails decided to invite Sonic for a walk through the forest of Green Hills. After all, they hadn't spent time together for a long time, except for fighting against Dr. Eggman's robots, and the weather was surprisingly good. It was sunny and warm. But the little fox didn't just want that. He had long wanted to ask a curious question to Sonic, which bothered him. And only on a walk could he find out.

Once at the blue hedgehog's house, Tails knocked on the door. Sonic, coming out on the threshold, smiled and greeted his friend. The young fox, in response, greeted, offered to take a walk, to which the hedgehog agreed, and together they slowly set off on their way.

After a while, Tails asked Sonic:

— Sonic, do you mind if I ask you a question out of curiosity? It's just that I've been wanting to ask you about it for a long time, but I didn't dare…

— Of course you can, Tails! Don't be shy! I will try to answer it. So, what is the question?

— Well, you know… they're afraid of something, aren't they?

— Yes.

— However, despite the fact that we are afraid of many things, we also have the biggest fear, right?

— That's right. And what are you getting at?

— I just wanted to know… what is your biggest fear?

—My… biggest… fear?".

— Yes.

— Well, I can't just say that right away…

— But you said: "I'll try to answer it!"

— Well… You can try to guess, because I'm a little shy about it… Heh…" Sonic replied, sweating slightly. He really wasn't ready to answer such a question right away.

— good. You're afraid of water, aren't you? Is this your biggest fear?

— Of course, I'm afraid of water. But I wouldn't call it the strongest fear.

— Well, yes, I guess. After all, you once saved a kitten that almost drowned. Maybe lightning, then?

"You're the one who's afraid of lightning, bro. And as soon as you see the lightning, you scream like a girl," Sonic said, laughing, which made Tails blush with shame.

— Well, you don't have to talk about it further.…

— Okay, I'm sorry. But it's really funny. Ha-ha.

— Ha ha. How funny.

And then Tails had a new idea! He smiled slyly, and then asked:

— Or maybe you're afraid of her?

— Who is her?

— Oh! You know her. She's pink. The hedgehog.

— Oh, no! You don't…

Sonic did not have time to finish, when suddenly someone screamed and at the same time a familiar cry to the hedgehog:

— Soniiiiiiiic!

"Uh, I think I should go, Tails."… See you later! — as soon as he said that, he immediately sped off like a bullet.

At the same moment, Amy Rose ran out of the bushes. Noticing a cloud of dust, the pink hedgehog rushed in the direction where Sonic ran away, shouting his name.

— Well, I think now I know what Sonic is most afraid of in the world. Haha," saying this out loud, Tails laughed, and then went to his house.

[jennycalendar]

the vibes i'm getting from eleven are. i have complicated feelings!

he is so much less emotionally available than ten, right off the bat. you get the sense he is treating the entire situation like an elaborate little joke because he wants to look cool. of course there are moments when he's emotionally affected, but his confidence is bulletproof, whereas i feel like ten's comes from this place of deep and caring desperation -- sort of a "no one else is here so i have to be the person" situation.

except, of course, ten's specials very firmly establish the direction he's going in! his care becomes something that he is frightened by and that makes him just so miserable. he starts feeling like he can accomplish anything, like he's special-er than most, like he has the right to make big and sweeping decisions!!! and i feel like it's soooo interesting to view eleven as a continuation of where ten was going + a product of how ten died. because eleven's era is the era where the doctor is suddenly the Most Special-Est Man In The Universe who everyone is trying to kill, and this is right after ten was starting to evolve into something ugly and angry that wouldn't let go. ten was clinging onto life and so fucking upset that he didn't get to do more, and that's what eleven came from. this guy who wants to see everything and do everything and cares in a more abstract, less immediate way than ten simply because caring immediately right off the bat means that everything hurts Just So Much More.

THAT SAID. we get so little about why he specifically picks amy besides "she was there" and that bugs me! he coulda crash landed in any little girl's garden. nine and ten were both specific and selective in their companions and eleven's decision to take amy along with him feels born mostly out of circumstance, especially since he's the one who does literally all of the world-saving in this episode -- whereas rose, martha, and donna were all absolutely essential to every episode they were in!!! i am seeing the cracks from the get-go. this is not solid and as of right now amy does not feel like a character with interiority outside of "pretty and quippy."

Sonic Cyber Revolution, Entry 55: Walking In Your Shoes

''Sound the alarm… Shatter me like glass. Covered in scars, but roses are coming through the cracks. Time that you killed, you promised to help me rebuild! It caught me off guard, sound the alarm...''

– Vandalize by Sonic Frontiers

xXxXxXx

''Sonic and I had met up with Loki to talk about the situation,'' Lucas told his friends, who were all gathered at the Taylor Workshop, listening to him. ''He had told us that the Chaos Incident was categorized as an attack by a very powerful Irregular and left to the Hunters to handle it. As for Team Neos, Loki said that he wouldn't involve us in any report and thanked us for saving the city.'' Lucas leaned back on the couch, sighing. ''He had also mentioned that they got contacted by Dr. Eggman, who told them that he would be retrieving the Egg Carrier out of Cosmo River. Apparently, people were just done with this whole thing and let him do whatever he wanted, but when they asked whether he would assist in the rebuilding, since they assumed that he had something to do with it, he said 'No'.''

This caused his friends to laugh lightly, with Minami chiming in, ''What did they expect? It's Eggman we're talking about.''

''I'm surprised that they even let him pick up the Egg Carrier,'' Silver said.

''Well, just like Lucas said, people probably couldn't bother removing an airship from the river. Besides, Eggman seems to have the time and tech for that,'' Lily pointed out.

''At least we won't have to worry about him for the time being. I'm sure that even Eggman doesn't want to start trouble only a few days after the Chaos Incident,'' Amy said.

''He was quite insistent on Starline not giving Chaos the last Chaos Emerald, but that was mainly because he knew he lost control over him,'' Touka said. The conversation suddenly died down when Joanne, Warren's mother, entered the workshop carrying a tray of drinks for everyone.

''Thanks, Mum,'' Warren said, taking the tray.

''I hope you and your friends are not up to any trouble,'' Joanne said, glancing at Team Neos with a fairly innocent and kind smile on her expression, not caring that she got a few nervous and tense looks in return.

''Don't worry, we were just talking about stuff,'' Warren replied.

''Yeah, nothing to worry about,'' Tails quickly added.

''Okay, have fun!'' Joanne replied, exiting the workshop, with the whole team still feeling a sense of chill lingering in the air, all of them being well aware what Warren's mother was talking about.

It had been a couple of days since the Chaos Incident, with things returning to normal… to an extent. The status quo Team Neos knew was immediately shattered when they all returned home, tired and bruised from all the fighting, only to be met by their parents' worried, furious and concerned looks. As Lucas had predicted, with the battle against Perfect Chaos being partially broadcasted on the news thanks to Midorikawa and Kero, they had also been caught on camera, meaning that their parents not only saw them, but also immediately confronted them about what had happened, with two exceptions.

Since Lucas' parents were currently in a different country, he instead had to deal with being scolded by Warren's mother, given how the Taylor family was close with the Kinomoto family and Joanne saw Lucas as another son. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as it could be, but them having to explain hat they did as members of Team Neos, as well as the fact that Sonic and Tails were Irregulars was filled with tension. Thankfully, Joanne was quite reasonable, bearing no ill will to the hedgehog and fox as they protected their partners, but did tell Lucas to call his parents and tell them what had happened.

Lucas agreed, and that conversation actually went better than the one he had with Warren's mother. His parents were certainly shocked to hear what their son had been through, but Harper and Shinjiro Kinomoto were more intrigued by the fact that Lucas was willing to go on such adventures. Sonic was actually quite amused by that conversation as Lucas' parents demanded every detail of what they had been doing since the blue hedgehog joined their family, thanking him for protecting Lucas and even agreeing that, as long as they knew what they were doing, that they wouldn't be in trouble. After all, they couldn't be there for their son due to work, and they were happy to hear Lucas had friends he could rely on.

As for Makoto and Minami, they were both scolded by their parents, albeit the tone was more anger born of worry, with Makoto's mother and Minami's parents understanding that their son and daughter were under Silver and Amy's protection. As a matter of fact, they were more shocked that the two were non-aggressive Irregulars than anything else. Minami and Amy also escorted Cream and Cheese back to their home, where they were met with a rather scary-looking Vanilla, who was wondering into what kind of trouble her daughter had gotten herself into and why Minami and Amy allowed this to happen. Rest assured, the two were quite shaken up after that conversation.

Lily, on the other hand, was quite in a lot of trouble, because her parents were fuming, being furious at both her and Knuckles. Considering how they had a history of overprotectivness, to the point of keeping Lily in a gilded cage that was their mansion, Lily and Knuckles both argued their case, pointing out how they both had been on these kinds of adventures for weeks and they were fine, with the argument reaching a point where Lily punched a hole in the wall of the mansion with a Chaos Surge-powered fist – a move she and Knuckles agreed to even before the confrontation, since they knew that her parents would just lock her up again for her own safety – leaving her own parents quite frightened once they realized that their daughter wasn't as helpless as they believed. They eventually agreed to let her do whatever she wanted as long as she stays safe.

As for Touka, she and Shadow literally got away without being scolded by Kisaki, since she already knew into what kind of adventures the two got themselves into. She was just relieved that they were alive and well, and listened to their side of what had happened with Chaos. Considering what the two went through before the Chaos Incident, it was a relief.

''I suppose we'll have some peace now,'' Knuckles said, breaking the silence and grabbing a handful of grapes from the nearby bowl. ''Didn't you two call us over because you wanted to show us something?''

''Oh, right, I almost forgot,'' Tails suddenly said, turning towards a device on the nearby table. ''This is something Warren and I had been working for a while as a little side-project. It's still in the experimental phase, though.''

''To keep it laconic, it is a scanner than can be equipped within an AR Field and scan the powers and abilities of an ARNav. That way, we would be able to gather information about the various Irregulars and figure out how to combat them,'' Warren added.

''Unfortunately, we don't know how it would work on multiple Irregulars,'' Tails added.

''Is there something we could do to help?'' Amy asked.

''Well, I guess we could activate it and have at least two enter the AR Field just to see how it would react,'' Warren said. ''So, who wants to play the guinea pig?''

Knuckles, Amy and Silver glanced at each other, with Silver realizing something. ''Uh, where are Sonic and Shadow? I haven't seen them the whole day.''

''They're having one of their sparring matches,'' Lucas replied. ''It took Sonic only one evening to recover from the fight with Perfect Chaos and he was ready to square up again.''

''He has the will of a warrior. Still a bit lacking in constitution,'' Knuckles said. The group then walked outside, with Tails and Warren setting up the AR Field and the scanner.

''So, are we going to play Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who goes inside?'' Silver asked. Amy and Knuckles shrugged, waiting for Warren and Tails to be done.

However, before any of them could say something, they heard a laughter in the distance, followed by an orange blur being chased by an blue blur through the neighborhood. It was obvious to them that these two were Shadow and Sonic, having another of their battle races across the whole city and currently being on a collision course towards the AR Field, with Shadow getting ahead of Sonic. That's where Tails and Warren started to panic.

''Sonic, Shadow, wait!'' Tails cried out when both hedgehogs curled into balls, Sonic spin attacking into Shadow to take him down, causing both of them to crash right into the AR Field. Everyone winced when they heard a sound of something exploding, with the AR Field vanishing, leaving a destroyed scanner and two very dazed hedgehogs on the ground.

''Sonic!''

''Shadow!''

Lucas and Touka ran over to their respective partner, checking on them.

''What happened?'' Sonic sat up, one hand pressed against the side of his head and he narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Lucas.

''Man, I feel like I got hit by a truck. I'm all fine though, don't worry,'' Shadow said in a nonchalant tone, giving Touka a wide grin. It was soon followed by a look of confusion when he saw Touka staring at him. ''Uh, what's wrong?''

''Uh, Shadow…'' Touka started tentatively, but ''Shadow'' interrupted her.

''No, I'm Sonic,'' he said, getting up and pointing at himself. ''Why would you- uh?''

The hedgehog in question looked down at his body, but instead of seeing blue and peach fur, he was met with black and white fur with red accents. Shocked, he turned towards the other hedgehog, only to feel a chill flow down his spine when he saw ''Sonic'' giving him a death glare, his emerald eyes glinting maliciously, and winced when he saw the latter walking over to him with murderous intention.

''What did you do?! Why are you in my body?!'' ''Sonic'' shouted at ''Shadow'' furiously, gritting his teeth as he glared at the latter.

''I-I don't know- We've been racing and the next thing I know, this happened,'' ''Shadow'' replied, holding up his hands in defense as he stared nervously back at ''Sonic''.

''Hey, calm down you two!'' Tails stepped between the two hedgehogs, picking up the destroyed scanner. ''Let's confirm something – you are Sonic, right?''

''Yeah.'' ''Shadow'' nodded in response, giving Tails a curious look.

''That means that you're Shadow.'' Tails turned to the other hedgehog.

''Yes,'' ''Sonic'' answered, arms folded across his chest and his eyes narrowed. Tails nodded.

''I think I got it figured out. It seems that, by entering the AR Field and destroying this scanner, some kind of side-effect occurred, resulting in the two of you accidentally swapping bodies,'' Tails explained, tilting his head to the side, giving both of them a curious look. ''Fascinating!''

Shadow!Sonic stared back at Tails with his mouth agape, while Sonic!Shadow gave the two-tailed fox a stunned look. The moment of silence was then broken by a loud laughter, coming from Knuckles of all people, who was quite amused by the hedgehogs' situation, finding the whole situation hilarious. Both Shadow!Sonic and Sonic!Shadow shot him a glare, before quickly turning to Tails.

''This is temporary, right Tails?'' Shadow!Sonic asked. ''Shads and I won't be stuck like this forever. I'm sure that you can figure out how to get us back to normal.''

''Yeah, I can… but it will take a while, since I need to first figure out how to the mind transfer had happened first,'' Tails replied. ''I will have to repair the scanner as well.''

''How long is it going to take?'' Sonic!Shadow asked, a firm look on his expression.

''Probably a day or so,'' Tails said, shrugging. The two hedgehogs gave him a blank look, clearly unhappy that they would have to wait this long to return back to their own bodies, but once the shock had passed, Shadow!Sonic turned to Sonic!Shadow with a cheeky smile.

''You know, maybe this isn't that bad,'' Shadow!Sonic said. ''We could have some fun like this.''

''You can't be serious,'' Sonic!Shadow muttered under his breath, frowning as he watched his Shadow!Sonic looking down at his air shoes, feeling their weight. ''What are you doing?''

''If we're going to be stuck like this for a while, maybe you could teach me how to use your skates,'' Shadow!Sonic replied, only to gasp in excitement. ''I could also learn how to use Chaos Control!''

''They're air shoes,'' Sonic!Shadow replied in a deadpan tone, adding in an irked tone, ''Also, I'm not going to teach you how to use Chaos Control. The last thing I need is for you to get into trouble while you're in my body.''

Shadow!Sonic pouted, giving his rival an annoyed look, only to smile sincerely as he reached for him. ''Aww, com'n, Shads! If I could use Chaos Control with a Chaos Emerald, I'm sure I'll manage it with just your power.''

Both hedgehogs then glanced down, only to realize that they were holding hands after Shadow!Sonic had taken hold of Sonic!Shadow's hands in an attempt to convince him to go along with his suggestion. Sonic!Shadow raised his eyebrow as he gave Shadow!Sonic a look, with Shadow!Sonic quickly pulling back his hands, giving the azure hedgehog a sheepish smile and rubbing the back of his head. He then looked at his hand, clenching it into a fist.

''Maybe I could…'' he muttered, with an alarmed expression appearing on Sonic!Shadow's expression as he realized what his rival was about to do.

''W-Wait!'' Sonic!Shadow was about to grab him, but the dark hedgehog had already disappeared in a flash of cyan light, leaving the former speechless, only to growl in frustration. ''That idiot!''

xXx

Sonic had to admit that, while having Shadow's powers was quite fun, he wasn't exactly thinking straight about how to use them. He simply got too excited, which led to him getting carried away and now he was stuck on the ledge of a tall office building, staring down at the busy street. One wrong move and he was dead.

Maybe I should've listened to Shadow… Shadow!Sonic shook his head, a determined look forming on his expression. All I need to do is to focus and I would be back at the Taylor Workshop, right? A look of discomfort then formed on his expression as he realized what awaited him once he returned. Shadow is definitely going to scold me for this. He took a deep breath. Well, I suppose it'll be better to deal with him over figuring out whether I can survive fall damage.

Shadow!Sonic then closed his eyes, vanishing is a flash of cyan light.

xXx

Team Neos had been observing Sonic, or rather, Shadow in Sonic's body, pacing around as he waited for Sonic in Shadow's body to appear again. Since they had no clue where the dark hedgehog ended up, that was all they could do, at least while they were trying to process the current situation. Suddenly, there was another flash of light, with Shadow!Sonic appearing, his expression showing relief when he realized that he was back. It quickly changed to fear when he saw the azure hedgehog glowering over him.

''I had told you not to use it!'' Sonic!Shadow growled, with Shadow!Sonic giving him a sheepish smile.

''I'm sorry, Shads… But, hey, nothing bad had happened,'' Shadow!Sonic responded, giving his now azure rival a confident smirk, only to be met by a scowl.

''That's exactly the problem! You never think ahead, Hedgehog, and that's what gets you in trouble,'' Sonic!Shadow scolded the dark hedgehog. ''Only because you have my powers doesn't mean that you can use them freely. Whether you have experience with a Chaos Emerald doesn't matter, because this is different. You're drawing from the innate Chaos Energy within your – my – body, and you don't know the limits of it.''

''I get it, Shads…'' Shadow!Sonic replied, his ears pinned down, only to flick when he realized something, causing him to grin. ''But, that means that you also have access to my super speed. If you want, I could teach you how to use it.''

''Tch, do you really think I'd an advice in regards to using your super speed?'' Sonic!Shadow responded, but his dark-furred counterpart kept up a smug smirk.

''Yeah, but this is different, isn't it? You typically combine your natural speed with your air shoes, instead of actually running like I do. It isn't as easy as you think,'' Shadow!Sonic replied, feeling amused as he took note of his rival's frown. He knew exactly which buttons to press to rile Shadow up and considering how annoyed the now azure hedgehog was due to the whole situation, it was quite easy to get him into the right mood.

''Hmph, I could easily beat you even when we're like this. As your earlier antics had proven, you have no clue what you're doing,'' Sonic!Shadow responded.

''Maybe if you taught me how to use your air shoes, we could see who the faster hedgehog is,'' Shadow!Sonic pointed, only for his azure rival to give him a knowing smirk.

''You wish. I know what you're trying to do, Faker, and I believe that it would be beneficial for you to stay put for once,'' Sonic!Shadow replied, watching with pleasure as a frown appeared on his dark-furred counterpart's expression. ''You finally wiped that stupid smirk off your face. It doesn't suit you.''

''Scowling doesn't suit you either, Shads,'' Shadow!Sonic responded in a smooth tone, not being someone to give up so easily, whether it was a battle or an argument. The azure hedgehog narrowed his eyes in response, folding his arms as he just glared back at his rival.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, the rest of Team Neos just observed their whole argument. Most of them had an uncertain look, just absorbing what was transpiring before them. It was kinda bizarre, but also kinda entertaining.

''You know, it's really strange to see Shadow being so expressive and Sonic constantly scowl. They look and talk the same, but their mannerism and actions are completely different,'' Minami said, breaking the silence.

''Shouldn't we do something to stop them?'' Silver asked, glancing at the rest of the group.

''Why? This is prime entertainment,'' Knuckles said, holding a bowl of grapes and eating them like popcorn. ''Want some?''

''Sure.'' Silver nodded and took a few, feeling a bit assured since no one else seemed to be in hurry to stop the two hedgehogs from arguing. Speaking of which, said argument was getting quite heated.

''Let's face it, Shads, you're afraid,'' Shadow!Sonic said, giving the azure hedgehog a self-satisfied look.

''Tch, what should I even be afraid of?'' Sonic!Shadow scoffed in response, his eyebrow raised, only for his rival to step closer, their bodies being only mere inches apart.

''That you won't be able to catch up to me, like, at all. You're out of your comfort zone, Mr. Former Ultimate Lifeform,'' Shadow!Sonic said in a teasing tone, a smirk spreading on his lips as he saw the anger in Shadow's, now emerald, eyes. He didn't even wince when his rival grabbed him by the arm, pulling him even closer, well aware that Shadow was at his breaking point.

''Only because you're in my body doesn't mean you know what it's like to be me,'' Sonic!Shadow growled in a low tone.

''I could say the same for you,'' Shadow!Sonic replied, feeling a strange fluttering in his chest as he realized just how close he and Shadow were, their bodies almost touching. ''Heh, you wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid!''

Sonic!Shadow's emerald eyes widened for only a fraction of a moment at the comment, only to give his rival a sharp glare, baring his teeth as growled, ''Watch out what you're saying, Hedgehog, or you might get just what you deserve.''

''Uh, do you mean a kiss or getting punched? Because you're giving me mixed signals buddy,'' Shadow!Sonic said, raising his eyebrow as he was genuinely confused.

''Both!'' Sonic!Shadow snarled, not even registering what he had just said.

However, before either of them could get another word out, they were suddenly pushed apart by none other but Amy, who shot both of them a glare. ''Stop flirting you two!''

''We're not flirting!''

Both Sonic and Shadow shouted back in response, both looking quite flustered by her comment, but neither of them dared to say more when they realized that Amy was actually quite aggravated.

''Honestly, I don't care what this was, but you two should stop arguing! I understand that you're not happy about what happened, especially you Shadow, but that doesn't meant that you have to keep fighting like this. You're better than that!'' Amy said, glaring at the azure hedgehog, who lowered his head.

''I… I apologize,'' he muttered, trying to avoid eye-contact with Amy.

''And you, Sonic!'' Amy suddenly turned to the dark hedgehog, who winced when he saw her angry expression. ''You also know better than riling Shadow up like this, but instead you're only causing more trouble for yourself. I thought that you'd be a bit more mature about this, but I guess I was wrong!''

''I- I'm sorry, Amy,'' he responded, a look of guilt forming on his expression. Amy folded her arms across her chest.

''Instead of apologizing to me, you should apologize to each other. I know you get along well, and I thought I'd see more of that,'' she told the two. The two hedgehogs exchanged glances and then gave Amy a firm gaze.

''Sure, Shads and I do get along, Ames, and we may have taken it a bit too far, but…'' Shadow!Sonic started.

''This is also part of our dynamic. It might not look pretty to you, and you might not agree, but we're fine with it,'' Sonic!Shadow finished. Amy gave both of them a hard stare, as if daring them to say more, but both Sonic and Shadow refused. They might be The Fastest Thing Alive and The Ultimate Lifeform, but even they knew not to anger Amy further. Amy then sighed.

''Okay, but I will admit that I agree with Sonic on one point – you should try to get used to each other's powers in the meantime, just in case. Even if Dr. Eggman or Dr. Starline or even Irregulars aren't attacking the city, you'll never know what might happen,'' she told them. Shadow!Sonic's expression immediately lit up like a lightbulb, while Sonic!Shadow just gave her a look of irritation.

''Fine,'' Sonic!Shadow groaned, grabbing a surprised Shadow!Sonic by the arm and dragging him away. ''If we're going to do this, we might as well try to see who has the better control of the other's speed.''

''Awesome!'' Shadow!Sonic responded excitedly.

Amy then turned to Lucas and Touka, who had approached them. ''Honestly, I don't envy either of you for having to deal with them.''

Lucas and Touka just shrugged in response, following their partners to an empty street that they knew didn't have much traffic and where they could experiment with each other's speed powers in peace, with Sonic!Shadow launching into an explanation on how to use the air shoes to his rival.

''The air shoes have a jet propulsion that you can control at will,'' Sonic!Shadow explained, with Shadow!Sonic looking down at his footwear. ''It might be a bit hard for you to understand, since I can use them instinctually, but the point is that they respond to your mind and body. If you want to go, you just have to do so. The same goes for if you want to stop. You will have to get used to the feeling of gliding instead of running, though.''

''I see,'' Shadow!Sonic replied, a grin plastered on his expression when he turned to his rival. ''I guess I don't have to explain much about how to run, but watch out for surfaces that create less friction. Trust me, running on ice is a nightmare, and while I can run on water if I gain enough speed, it can be hard to maintain momentum.''

''I understand.'' Sonic!Shadow nodded, with the two getting in their positions, and with one assuring glance, both sped off the street. They didn't even notice Lucas and Touka standing behind them, with the two smiling.

''I guess we'll also be swapping partners tonight,'' Touka commented.

''Do you think you'll be able to handle Sonic for a night?'' Lucas asked wryly.

''Sure. I hope you'll also be able to deal with Shadow,'' Touka replied in the same tone.

''I don't think it'll be much of a problem,'' Lucas said in an assured tone.

xXx

Metal Sonic had to admit that this wasn't how he expected to spend his afternoon. He was in the living room at the Ahearn household, sitting on the edge of the couch with his legs crossed while watching some drama show on TV with the person he had slowly learned to loathe even more than his arch-enemy Sonic, mainly because of how much of an obnoxious roommate he was.

''Can you believe this?'' Starline turned to Metal Sonic, pointing with his hand at the TV as he continued in a bitter tone. ''She had promised him that they would be together forever, no matter what, but because of a simple mistake, he abandoned her- No, betrayed her! They were such a good team and he threw it away- for what?!''

Metal Sonic just gave Starline a side-eye, wondering how it would be to strangle that annoying platypus. He certainly would get some peace and quiet. As for Starline, he reached for the cup of ice-cream, eating another bite. While he had managed to recover during the past couple of days physically, his mental and emotional state was at an all time low, so he tried to find some comfort in ice-cream and a drama show that fit his tastes. Since he was fired from the Eggman Empire and couldn't go back to the Egg Base, he stayed at Ferra and Metal Sonic's home. Fortunately, her parents weren't at home, having gone on a vacation (and leaving a note to Ferra that she could go on her own once she earns it; not that Ferra cared about it), so no questions were asked about the platypus' presence.

''Okay, that's enough moping,'' Ferra said, coming out of the kitchen and stepping in front of the TV, giving Starline an annoyed look. ''I know you're angry and bitter for getting fired, something which was your fault, but don't think you'll be sitting on the couch like this for the rest of your life. I thought you'd bounce back with another plan at this point.''

''Well, I don't have another plan,'' Starline said, standing up, glaring at Ferra. ''All my life, I only wished to stand by Dr. Eggman's side and now that the Doctor has fired me, I have nothing to live for.''

''Oh, stop being so melodramatic!'' Ferra rolled her eyes. ''What about your contingency plans?''

''I don't have a contingency plan for what might happen if I get fired!'' Starline responded angrily. He sighed, holding his head with his hands and shaking it, being at his wits' end. ''I don't have anything to do!''

''Unfortunately, you can't stay here…'' Ferra trailed off as she thought for a moment, only to give Starline a curious look. ''Wait, what about Egg Base Sigma?''

''What about it? It has been abandoned after Mephiles and Toshiro brutally murdered Dr. Sakamoto,'' Starline said.

''Yeah, but would you be fine with staying there?'' Ferra suggested. Starline's eyes widened and he gave Ferra a look of surprise, then thought about her proposal.

''Actually, that doesn't sound bad. Even if I'm no longer a member of the Eggman Empire, this way, I would be close to the Doctor and maybe even figure out a plan to get back in his good graces,'' Starline said, elated. ''This is a genius idea! Let's leave right away!''

Ferra and Metal Sonic glanced at each other, both relieved that they would be finally getting rid off their roommate. As for what would happen afterwards, they would find out eventually.

''We're back!'' Touka called out as she and Shadow!Sonic entered the hallway, closing the door behind them. Kisaki had already returned from her work, having settled down in front of the TV, with a box of pizza and an open can of lemon soda on the coffee table.

''Welcome home! I hope you don't mind having pizza for dinner. I know that it was my turn to make dinner, but I didn't have the time for cooking anything,'' Kisaki said, watching the hedgehog she believed to be Shadow quickly walk over to the coffee table and grab a slice of pizza.

''I don't mind,'' he said, happily eating it. Kisaki blinked in surprise, turning to Touka.

''Eh, Touka, what's wrong with Shadow? I mean, I never saw him this… joyful,'' she said. Touka snorted, grabbing a slice of her own and sat down on the couch.

''Actually, that's Sonic. He and Shadow accidentally ended up swapping bodies and will remain like this until Warren and Tails repair the device that caused this,'' Touka explained.

''Ah, I see. You guys really have a habit of getting yourselves into all kinds of trouble,'' Kisaki said. ''I can only imagine how Shadow feels about this.''

''Well, he certainly isn't happy,'' Shadow!Sonic replied. ''He did agree to stay with Lucas, though, since he figured that it would be better if Touka keeps an eye on me.''

''I see. Good luck on resolving this issue,'' Kisaki replied, with the three enjoying their dinner in peace. Shadow!Sonic and Touka exchanged glances, both grinning in amusement.

After dinner, Touka and Shadow!Sonic went upstairs, with the dark hedgehog immediately looking around the room, taking note that it had slightly changed since the last time he was here. In fact, there were a few posters of motorcycles that weren't there before, with Sonic figuring that those were put up by Shadow. He then turned back to Touka, a wide grin on his expression.

''Does Shadow have any hobbies or stuff he likes to do?'' he asked.

''Why are you asking?'' Touka asked, raising an eyebrow.

''I had figured that, while I'm here, I might as well learn more about Shadow; like, the stuff he hadn't told me yet, so we could have more to talk about. Since you're his sister, you would know him best,'' Shadow!Sonic replied.

''So, you're being sneaky,'' Touka said, folding her arms across her chest. ''I don't think Shadow would be too happy about me sharing personal information, even if it's you.''

''Yeah, I know, but…''

''Don't worry, since it's you, I'm comfortable sharing some stuff,'' Touka added, winking at him, and walked over to a bookshelf. ''Shadow likes to read books in his free time.''

''Really? That's cool! What kind of books?'' Shadow!Sonic replied, walking over and grabbing a light novel from the bookshelf. ''I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags… That's a weird title.''

''Ah, that's mine!'' Touka quickly grabbed the light novel. ''I recently got into a light novel and manga genre about the protagonist getting reincarnated as the villainess of a novel or a video game.'' She then gave him a few other books from the bookshelf. ''These are the books Shadow likes to read. It's mainly dystopia – lone wolf-type of characters who fight back against an unfair status quo society and/or the government had put them in – and murder mystery.''

''I see…'' Shadow!Sonic took a look at the books she gave him, one of which was a manga that had a bookmark in it. He flipped it open, showing a scene of a young boy with glasses talking into a bowtie as he revealed the method of how the victim had been murdered and who the murderer was. He grinned, being quite excited to read through the material he was given.

''You know Sonic…'' The hedgehog looked up at the teenager, with Touka giving him a sincere smile. ''I know that it's a bit weird saying it out loud, especially after putting you through a lot of trouble, but I'm really happy that Shadow trusts you so much. Back then, we both thought that our life would continue as before, that we would be able to only rely on each other. Neither of us, Shadow especially, had expected that we would become so close with you and the rest of Team Neos, let alone fight side by side. So, if you don't mind, whenever I'm not around, could you please take care of Shadow?''

The hedgehog's eyes widened at this question, or rather, at this plea, and he nodded, giving Touka a confident look.

''Yeah, I can do that,'' Sonic replied. ''After all, Shadow is also a very important to me.''

xXx

Sonic!Shadow stared curiously at the photo of Lucas and his parents, before turning around to take another look at the living room. The house was rather quiet, having a feeling of emptiness to it, with the quiet noise from the TV being the only thing that give the impression that there was someone inside it. Sonic!Shadow had to admit that, while he was quite content with the silence, it felt as if something was missing. Lucas certainly wasn't someone who'd pry into his personal business and he was thankful for that, but he had gotten used to Touka's presence and bickering with her.

''Are you okay?'' Sonic!Shadow looked up, taking note of Lucas entering the room after he had washed the dishes. The hedgehog just nodded in response, with Lucas beckoning him to follow him. ''Since Sonic is staying with Touka, you can sleep in his room tonight. Admittedly, he usually doesn't care where he falls asleep, so I usually find him sleeping on the couch.'' He chuckled lightly, opening the door to Sonic's room, only for Lucas' expression change to that of second-hand embarrassment. ''I had told Sonic this morning to clean up.''

He sighed as he entered the room, with Sonic!Shadow following him inside, taking note of the mess. There were wrappers and soda bottles on the floor, along with books and manga and the bed was unmade. Lucas grabbed a nearby trash bin, throwing in the wrappers in, while the hedgehog walked over to the books, some of which were open.

''I had no idea that Sonic was interested in reading books,'' he muttered.

''For someone who gets easily bored if he stands in one place for longer than five minutes, he actually is an avid reader. From what I've seen, he prefers books about adventures, with enough action and good storytelling to keep him hooked. He isn't the type to read books with boring descriptions, where barely anything happens,'' Lucas explained. ''The book you're holding is about a knight who goes on adventures helping people.''

''Do you have spare bookmarks?'' Sonic!Shadow asked.

''Yeah, sure,'' Lucas said, quickly going to his own room and returning with a few bookmarks, one of which the hedgehog inserted between the pages.

When Lucas gave him a curious look, Sonic!Shadow replied, ''I believe that Sonic left it lying like this because this was the page he was reading.''

''I guess that makes sense,'' Lucas replied, returning to cleaning the room, while Sonic!Shadow picked up the rest of the books, finding one more that was open on a specific page. This was actually a manga, the page depicting a giant cartoony character with white hair emerging out of the dark clouds and confronting an eastern-looking dragon. The hedgehog then realized that Lucas was peering over his shoulder, looking genuinely surprised. ''Huh, I had no idea he made it to the Gear 5 Luffy VS Kaido battle. That's really late into the story.''

''I suppose that the story was interesting enough to keep him invested,'' Sonic!Shadow replied.

''Yeah, it is,'' Lucas nodded. ''Sonic had actually once told me that reading a book is like going on an adventure in your head. I can only share the sentiment, especially since I was never keen on going on actual adventures. I was satisfied with just staying at home the whole day.''

''That mindset did change eventually, didn't it?'' Sonic!Shadow asked.

''You're right, and I solely blame Sonic for that,'' Lucas said, smiling sincerely. ''There is something about him, something that just inspires you to explore the world in a way you never imagined. Honestly, I'm really happy that I had met him, because without him, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have met any of the other friends or gone on all of those adventures.''

''He really is the kind of person who inspires you to become the best version of yourself,'' Shadow agreed, a tiny smile forming on his lips.

xXx

''Okay, I'm done here!'' Tails said, exiting the AR Field, with Warren, who was holding the Miles Electric, giving him a thumbs up.

''Good thing that we kept the blueprints and that there was some residual data from when the body swap had happened, so we could reverse this without any problems,'' Warren added, looking up. He and Tails had spent a good amount of the previous day to repair the scanner and get it to work properly this time. ''Now, where are these two…''

Both Tails and Warren were startled when a blue and orange blur suddenly dashed towards them, stopping right before the two and kicking up a cloud of dust, once again arguing over who had won.

''I was faster!''

''Tch, then why did I see you behind me?''

''Hey, it was a tie!'' Tails interrupted the two hedgehogs, pointing with his thumb at the AR Field. ''Now, could you both please go inside so Warren and I can turn the scanner on? You can continue arguing over who is faster afterwards.''

''Sure, Tails! While I got the hang of Shadow's powers, it would be nice to be back in my own body,'' Shadow!Sonic said.

''I can only agree,'' Sonic!Shadow added, with both then entering the AR Field. Tails joined Warren as they observed the data shown, activating the scanner. It took only a few moments, but when the AR Field vanished, it was quickly made clear that it worked.

''Alright! I'm back to being blue!'' Sonic exclaimed as he looked down at his body, a wide grin on his expression. ''Man, I missed being myself!''

''I don't think you ever stopped being yourself,'' Shadow commented idly, arms folded across his chest.

''Is that supposed to be a compliment?'' Sonic asked him in a deadpan tone. Before Shadow could even respond, Tails suddenly interfered.

''If you two are going to start another fight, how about taking it somewhere where you won't destroy any of our inventions?'' he said, shooting both of them an annoyed look. Sonic gave him a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his head, while a look of guilt creeped up on Shadow's expression.

''Don't worry, we won't do anything like this again, we promise!'' Sonic assured him, with Shadow nodding in agreement. Sonic then elbowed Shadow, giving him a challenging smirk. ''Now, how about we finally finish that race? I recall being ahead of you.''

''Weren't you the one who tackled me because you were losing?'' Shadow responded, with an awkward look forming on Sonic's expression as he remembered what had happened.

''Well… We could then start the race from there,'' he suggested.

''We could,'' Shadow said, only to startle Sonic when he sped off. The sense of awkwardness was quickly replaced with determination when Sonic rushed off after Shadow, leaving Tails and Warren. The two just glanced at each other, sighing in exasperation at the two hedgehogs' antics.

xXx

Sonic took a deep breath, stretching his arms and feeling quite content as he observed the sunset before him. He was on top of a building, with Shadow sitting right next to him as they decided to take a break from their race battle. The race in question was another tie, but neither hedgehog looked displeased with the result, having enjoyed the challenge that it brought. There was still a bit of a tension between them, though, since the adrenaline from the race still hadn't settled down.

''That was a long day… Don't you think the same, Shads?'' Sonic asked.

''More like two long days,'' Shadow muttered, leaning his elbow on his knee, while supporting himself with the other hand. He glanced at Sonic, who just gave him a wide grin. Shadow sighed in response, gazing ahead. ''Admittedly, it was an interesting experience.''

''I think it was really exciting,'' Sonic replied, drawing Shadow's attention, ''To see what being you is like. I sincerely doubt that I would get the full experience, but you're free to talk about it to me if you feel comfortable.''

''I sincerely hope that this won't happen again,'' Shadow replied, his eyes narrowing.

''Awww, com'n, it wasn't that bad,'' Sonic replied in a cheerful tone, only to see the unamused look Shadow was giving him. Sonic smiled sheepishly, having to admit that he did cause a lot of trouble while being in Shadow's body. ''I'm sorry for getting on your nerves,'' Sonic suddenly said, surprising Shadow. ''Amy was right, I shouldn't have made you so angry.''

''My responses to you weren't better either. I could've handled this differently, but I didn't,'' Shadow replied. ''You're not the only one who has to apologize.''

''Heh, I guess we're really alike in that regard. Still, no harm was done,'' Sonic said, with Shadow nodding in agreement.

''We know each other's limits better than anyone else, and I doubt you would cross my boundaries for no reason,'' Shadow said.

''Thanks for trusting me so much, buddy,'' Sonic replied, with Shadow taking note of his confident look. ''I really appreciate it.''

''You may be really irritating, but you did prove yourself as someone who can be relied on even in the worst of situations,'' Shadow replied. Sonic sweatdropped, sighing.

''Honestly, what's up with all those backhanded compliments? You just can't tell me anything nice without disguising it as an insult,'' he told Shadow, with a wry smile forming on his lips.

''I'm simply telling you the truth. Your methods are annoying, your jokes are unfunny, your skills are undisciplined, your optimistic outlook towards others is naive, and your shoes are garish…'' Shadow started, with Sonic giving him an irritated look.

''Okay, you can say whatever you want about my skills or jokes, but don't insult my kicks,'' Sonic responded, shooting his rival a glare, but Shadow continued without a beat.

''And yet, despite all of that, I can't say that I have any reservations when it comes to fighting by your side. It has been a source of bewilderment for me ever since I met you,'' he said.

''In other words, I've been always on your mind,'' Sonic said, giving him a sly smile.

''Don't take things out of context,'' Shadow replied, trying to sound irritated and failing, as Sonic just kept up the grin. Shadow sighed, adding, ''I didn't know that you were interested in reading.''

''Same here… Did you read any of my books?'' Sonic asked, with Shadow nodding.

''Also, your room is a mess. I sincerely hope you aren't always so sloppy,'' he added, with Sonic looking a little alarmed.

''I genuinely forgot about that. I wanted to clean up, but then I got your message about the race and left without thinking…'' Sonic muttered, quickly changing the topic. ''Anyways, what did you think about the books?''

''I have read a few chapters just to see what you're interested in, and I can understand your investment in them. It really felt like having an adventures in your head,'' Shadow said.

''Lucas told you that, didn't he?'' Sonic said, with Shadow nodding. ''I tried to read the books you were reading, especially the dystopian one… and it really takes a while for anything to happen. A lot of it is just description of the setting. I didn't even know who the main protagonist was until a few chapters in.''

''Don't worry, it gets interesting later on, and the set up is necessary,'' Shadow replied.

''I'll take your word for it,'' Sonic replied.

The two then fell silent, gazing ahead at the sunset as their environment grew darker and darker, with the stars appearing in the purple and blue sky. They could feel the chilly breeze ruffling their fur, with Shadow closing his eyes to enjoy the moment. It didn't last long, as he could sense Sonic shifting next to him, and he opened his eyes to see his rival leaning closer, placing an arm over his shoulder. Shadow rose an eyebrow.

''What are you doing?'' he asked.

''I remember you telling me that you're fine with being comforted like this,… right?'' Sonic gave him a nervous smile.

Shadow's gaze was stern, leaving the azure hedgehog a bit anxious as he wondered whether he pushed it too far. To his relief, Shadow leaned against him, arms folded across his chest, with both of them feeling quite cosy like this. Sonic felt his heart flutter, having to admit that he genuinely liked sitting like this, even more since it was clear that Shadow was just as comfortable with this position, and wanted it to last as long as possible.

Spoilers for parts of Sonic Frontiers...

Part 1

Part 8 WIP

The air of the morning was soft, gentle. Rays of warm sunlight warming the two friends as they lay knelt among the grass. On any other day, these friends would think this a perfect opportunity for a picnic. To an outsider looking in, they would think it foolhardy not to. However, the tense, hollow atmosphere suffocating this lonely island made such thoughts impossible.

Amy’s arms felt numb. Her everything felt numb. All except her heart. It ached. The pink hedgehog knew how much Sonic hated to be trapped. But... he was strong and he would last… because it wasn’t permanent. It wasn’t, permanent.

Tails’s fingers ached. The muscles in his arms and hands worn thin. He wiggled his fingers as they lay among the grass, trying to relieve the stiffness in them. The corners of his eyes burned, having zeroed in his attention on the screen, racing against time. He shut his eyes, counting to twenty, trying to ignore the nonsense jumble of code that tumbled behind his eyelids.

The sound of huffing and hurried footsteps filled the silence.

“So… is he in?” Knuckles asked, stumbling to a stop next to them.

Tails opened his eyes, staring blankly at the space in front of him. “Yeah…” He confirmed, swallowing.

The fox shook his head sharply, snapping himself out of his daze. “If Sage was correct, we have anywhere from two minutes to five, we need to hurry.”

Tails stumbled his way to the keyboard, he frowned. The barrel of tech had begun smoking and Tails picked up the distinct smell of liquid metal and burnt rubber, the chemicals irritating the back of his throat. By the looks of things, that eldritch creature had used its last few seconds in this reality; to fry the computer. His shoulders slumped, there went the chance of salvaging any code.

The fox stiffened, a horrible vulnerability piercing right through his heart, like a cold, sharp metal needle. ‘When that thing gets out, it’ll make a beeline for me.’

He took in a deep breath and released it to the count of seven. ‘We have to focus on the now.’

Knuckles offered a hand to Amy, she silently took it, letting him pull her to her feet. She felt lighter without her rings and rose a little faster than she expected, wobbling a little when she settled on her feet.

Tails picked up the radio tentatively, carefully checking the temperature first to see if, it too, had been fried. It was cool however and he shakily brought it to his ear.

“Eggman, you still…?” the radio continued to buzz. The fox gulped, exchanging a worried glance with Amy.

Tails tapped the side of the radio with his finger, the static dissolved. The young fox fought to hear the radio over his throbbing head, beating in sync with his heartbeat. “E-Eggman?”

“My Leg! He tore off my leg!” Screamed the voice from the speaker. “Med-egg-bots, I require medical attention, get over here NOW!” He commanded.

The fox pulled the receiver from his ear for a moment, taking a short, deep breath.

“Of course,” Knuckles sighed in frustration. Amy relaxed, much to her petty dismay.

“I’ve trapped them in cyberspace, we only have a few minutes.” Tails reported, “What’s the status on Sage?”

“I don’t know!- Med-eggs get over here!”

“Remember what she said, We need to get to angel island together, fly down here so we can-” Tails reminded.

“He tore my leg off!”

Knuckles snarled, snatching the radio from Tails, “We know! Eggman, fly that thing down here before I knock it out of the sky for you!” barked the echidna.

“In a few minutes,” Eggman waved off.

“WE DONT HAVE A FEW MINUTES!” Knuckles roared. The red echidna shoved the radio back into the fox’s hands, almost pushing him over in the process.

Amy reached out, supporting his back before he fell. “Knuckles,” Amy scolded.

“Sorry,” Knuckles mumbled, stomping a few metres away, eyes fixed on a large fragment of stone, once part of the now ex- giant structure.

Tails peered up at the floating battleship, then to the red echidna winding up for a punch.

“Knuckles, aim for the red engine,” he advised.

“Right.”

With one swift punch, Knuckles sent the ancient chunk flying. The chunk tore through the protruding metal engine like cold butter through bread. With the main engine down, the smaller engines struggled to keep the others afloat. The ships autopilot went into emergency landing mode, floating down to settle on the small cluster of young trees nearby, crushing them into splinters. Amy cringed as she saw the panicked seagulls zoom out from under the trees, seconds before being crushed.

The three hopped into the hole in the side of the ship, metal bent outward as you would expect from paper pierced through by a pencil, presumably created when Metal Sonic tackled the red hedgehog into the ocean.

“Where is your Eggmobile?” Tails enquired as they approached.

Eggman was laid back in a small metal bed that seemed to have been folded out. Around him fussed two egg-shaped robots, each with their own little white hat, Eggmans eyes and signature grin plastered on their faces. They had a red cross painted on their chests. The white robots were focused on wrapping the stump of his leg in bandages.

“You just crashed my ship after I helped you! And I just lost my leg; I would have thought you of all creatures would feel some pity!” He exclaimed.

“You and your stupid machines are the reason we are in this mess in the first place!” Knuckles growled, stomping over.

One of the medical bots stopped its task and rolled over to Knuckles on its singular wheel. “Do not distress the patient,” it said flatly, voice static, raising its pincer arms. Knuckles promptly bashed its face in, flinging it into the opposite wall.

“You don’t deserve any pity.” The echidna growled, spinning on the doctor, cracking his knuckles.

“Knuckles stop,” Amy reached out a hand between the pair, “We don’t have time for this.” Amy pulled out her hammer, sliding herself between the fuming echidna and the wining doctor. “Show us where your eggmobile is.”

Amy’s gaze flickered to his right leg; her green eyes caught the light leaking in from one of the many holes in the wall. She loomed over the human, the shadow of her hammer falling over his face, “Unless you want to lose the other one.”

Eggman’s head retreated into his coat collar, suddenly the pain in his leg wasn’t at the forefront of his mind.

…

Sonic hurt. No matter where it was, his heart, his mind, his body: it didn’t matter. He just hurt.

But one thought broke through it all, the one wish of simply, “Get away,” had been repeating in his head. Over and over, that determined mantra, driving him to separate from that thing, ever since he had lost control of his limbs. To get as far away as possible.

Yet nothing he had tried had worked. No amount of screaming or struggling or fighting back did anything.

And it hurt.

His skin was on fire as a new ring reattached itself around his neck. That thing was furious. Sonic could feel its anger smouldering his insides as if it were his own. A desperate struggle for freedom.

Burning agony, that stopped so abruptly he lost all consciousness.

Then he came too, he became acutely aware of how numb he now felt. Physically at least.

…Everything was black.

He felt a strange ethereal push. It was like a rubber band, pulled so far it was ready to snap. That snap meant freedom. The ethereal feeling continued to push him, like a million hands on his back, all working together to break him through a tight, silicone wall that bent and warped.

Snap!

Light flooded Sonics vision. He gasped.

Sonic found himself crawling away. Finally, finally able to move of his own free will. Sonic staggered to his feet, stumbling forward. After a few clumsy steps he tripped on his own shoes, collapsing beside something black in the corner of his vision.

He heaved, nothing leaving his throat but a strangled wheeze. His fingers grasped at nothing, phasing through the lush holographic grass under him.

Sonic knew he wasn’t completely him when he caught sight of the translucent, light blue state of his quills. But that wasn’t at the forefront of his mind as he pulled his arms out from under him and began half crawling, half dragging himself away from the black shape.

The air around him shifted, a hot buzzing static began to grow. The heat fiercely licking away at the air.

“They... returned us here,” came a voice. Sonic jumped, spines spiking outward dangerously, head snapping back.

What met his eyes was a strange, morphed thing, a collection of deep red and purple shapes. It bubbled and span, morphed and moulded. It took shape, gaining arms and legs. Sonic squinted his eyes, something of an annoyed jab pierced his chest as the blob began to seem eerily familiar. Glowing neon rings formed themselves around the blob’s wrists, small strings of broken chains dangling loosely from them. It took the form of that of a silhouette of super sonic. Two neon purple lights pierced through the void of the blob, so intense they were white. The white lights settled on him.

Sonic pressed down hard on his fear. “Course, they did,” he smirked hopping to his feet. Sonic made a show of dusting himself off casually.

Its feet shaped void, rose from the digital ground. It stared at him. The lack of any facial features on the him shaped blob, challenged his brief composure. Sonic couldn’t tell if it was staring at him or staring at the place he just so happened to be. The blue hedgehog clenched his fists, suppressing a shiver.

A faint rumbling noise began to make itself known and Sonics uneasiness developed into mild panic. Sonic gave the imitation an apprehensive stare, taking a few steps backwards. Its neon dots followed his movements.

“No matter,” It said soullessly, “They will know their error soon enough.”

It leapt for him; hands outstretched for his face.

Sonic disappeared in a boom, speeding away into the landscape.

As he ran, Sonic slowly began to realise what his friends had meant by, “dreamlike,” now. He was floaty, his shoes were touching the grass of this mock green hill but it didn’t feel like it. The blades didn’t rustle under him. The legs under him felt much of the same, almost as if he were a digital ghost.

It was disorienting, like his brain was struggling to tell up from down. He had his vision but that was it. It was reminiscent of the effects of the phantom ruby; sending his sense of gravity spiralling.

Sonic scowled, he despised it, it made the nauseous feeling he kept pushing down into his stomach harder to contain. It rose and wavered, higher and higher as it threatened to overwhelm him. Sonic brought a gloved hand to his mouth.

Come on Sonic pull yourself together! He scolded himself.

Sonic took a small detour, dashing into the cover of a small tunnel in the wall. He slid to a stop in the cool shadows.

The hedgehog took a moment to breathe. He was... detached but still so incredibly nauseous.

Sonic gulped: he felt sick. This whole situation was sick. That ancient eldritch thing, was sick. It had sat by and made him watch as it had tormented his friends. Threatening them with his voice. Burning them with his hands. Throwing them around like ragdolls with his powers. Like it was all some kind of- sick game.

He fell to his knees. His mouth forced itself open, his digital stomach bubbling and slushing around inside him. It suddenly clenched tightly. The hedgehog dry-heaved, being that there was nothing to come out.

But that just made it worse. There was no end. No relief. No aftermath.

He knew that thing had been playing with his friends. Toying with them! He had felt it holding itself back. Even now he couldn’t help but feel he was being watched.

Sonic found himself having to fight against his body’s confused instincts. Cyberspace was meant to store memories, having the accidental aftereffect of storing souls. It wasn’t made to be lived in by sentient creatures. He wasn’t built for this dimension. His soul was still reacting as if he were alive and in his own body, copying what it had come to expect.

His stomach clenched about four times before Sonic managed to swallow, cutting off the reaction.

Rage and terror puddled itself in his gut as his skin crawled, head spinning.

Crack!

He leapt up at the sudden noise, hairs and spines on end. The crack had been quiet but it had sent the hedgehog into a small frenzy.

In his panic he stumbled backwards, something crunched under his left foot. His blue quills flung around as his head span around. Nothing was behind him other than the checkered wall of rock. His cloudy green eyes flickered around frantically, before they zeroed in on the broken remains of two white claws on the grassy floor.

“Oh... heh heh,” Sonic awkwardly laughed.

A blue bullet shot from the cave.

His left leg fell out from under him, something rolling under his foot. Only just managing to catch himself before he fell, the hedgehog stumbled to a stop. He tossed his head back to see what had tripped him up.

A leg.

A leg still wrapped in the shiny black leather boot, decorated with silver buckles. It sat in a small puddle of crimson, slowly leaking into the distorted grass.

Sonic gulped, eyes glued to the disembodied leg. He couldn’t look away. No matter how much his stomach squirmed. A sick satisfaction niggled in the back of his mind. He felt a warm something dripping from the corner of his mouth.

That sickly feeling was back, dangerously close to locking him into another dry heaving cycle. Sonic shook his head, tearing his eyes away. He violently wiped his mouth, refusing to look at his gloves.

“I require your assistance.” came a calm, yet still somehow demanding voice.

Sonic startled. Spines raised. He span in a blue of blur.

The black silhouette lowered down before him. Sonic’s body tensed, lowering, fingers splayed in preparation to fight.

“Mortal, return to your body,” It stated. “We cannot leave separated as we are.”

Sonic rose his fists. Perhaps he could keep them both here long enough for Tails to prepare whatever plan they had been talking about.

“Make me!”

Hi! I'd like a romantic concept of modern Amy Rose, please! A yandere Amy would be a force to reckon with for sure, and not in a good way....

Sure. I was thinking of Sonic Prime's! Amy for this as her VC makes her sound older. Aged up as usual. You can put this for any Amy if you want.

Yandere! Modern! Amy Rose Concept

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession at first sight, Delusional behavior, Stalking, Jealousy, Clingy behavior, Possessive behavior, Forced relationship, Mentioned kidnapping, Mentioned mental snap, Isolation, Attempted stockholm syndrome, Overprotective behavior.

Honestly, Amy always seems vaguely yandere/clingy to me since I was younger.

It was worse in older media but in newer media they managed to tune it down.

That being said, she would make a great yandere character based on how she acted before.

Amy's Obsessive, Clingy, Manipulative, Delusional, Caring, Easily jealous, Expressive, Overprotective, and Impulsive.

I like to think this takes place in an AU where she gives up on her crush towards Sonic.

She's calmed down since she was younger and accepts the fact that Sonic is her friend.

She still supports him and everything but isn't obsessively in love with him.

She feels it's time to move on, tucking away her intense feelings to become her own person... or hedgehog-

She doesn't meet you until later.

You could be a new friend to the gang or a returning friend.

Amy either hasn't seen you in awhile or never at all.

It's not until she meets you through Sonic that old familiar feelings bubble up.

It's funny to the pink hedgehog, honestly.

Her old crush introducing her to her new crush.

She tries desperately to hide her blush when she sees you, greeting you eagerly and considers you a friend of hers if you're a friend of Sonic.

Amy seems like a love at first sight kind of gal.

She also believes in fate and thinks meeting you was destiny.

Amy tries not to let herself get drawn into another obsessive crush.

She'll only get her heart broken again, right...?

....

. . . .

It's worth a shot.

Amy is an obsessive yandere.

She wants to know what you're doing all the time.

The hedgehog ends up giving into her urge to stick around you.

She's clingy and often wants to do what you're doing.

She also invites you on outings she plans herself.

Amy often takes all of your attention, finding some way to occupy you.

She loves the attention of her crush.

Amy feels neglected when she sees you with someone else.

The idea of you being closer to someone else instead of her makes her follow you around.

She's very open with her emotions, too.

Even if she doesn't confess until later, Amy still comes off as intense with her emotions.

She clings to you when happy or sad.

Honestly, just being around you makes the hedgehog obsessive for your attention.

Amy isn't entirely possessive.

She's easily jealous but not too possessive to the point of complete isolation... at first.

It's possible to get to that point with her but it's later in the obsession.

She would be the type to threaten rivals.

Amy is just clingy for the most part.

She expresses overprotective behavior towards her darling, often wanting you safe and cared for.

She can cause harm with that hammer of hers, too.

Amy is a delusional optimist with her obsession.

Even if you don't show interest in her, she still thinks you adore her just the same.

Even if you reject her confession... she's upset but thinks you'll change your mind.

You'll surely love her if she keeps trying, right?

Many of the characters in this universe wouldn't murder, except Eggman and most of the villains, Amy is no exception.

She may injure others when jealous, but never murder.

Amy is incredibly caring, to her darling and her friends.

She may have violent tendencies when jealous but she tries to keep her emotions in check for you.

Amy likes to do things for her darling.

She likes to cook/bake for you, she likes to give you gifts, she even likes to plan trips for the both of you to go on.

She includes you in everything... she would like it if you did the same with her.

Amy is already very clingy and intense as a yandere.

She'd get worse if you neglect her or keep rejecting her.

She seems like the time to kidnap but she tries not to since she wants her darling happy.

Amy is delusional, although any attempt to break her fantasies will make her snap.

She just wants your attention.

She could be a yandere who has the belief of "If I can't have you, no one can!"

Except she'd never hurt you physically.

She'd isolate you and try to get you to love her via stockholm syndrome if she did kidnap you.

Even when she has kidnapped you she'd still be as caring as ever, still desperately trying to get your approval and adoration.

Amy is definitely a yandere who is deep in her delusions.

She says she won't hurt you, yet does so by accident.

Amy promises to be better, yet falls into her old habits.

Overall, Amy is a clingy, easily jealous, yet caring yandere towards her darling. When given attention, she isn't that bad.

Neglect her, however... and Amy becomes a bit TOO caring towards you even if you don't want her to be.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN (genderneutral) BEHIND THE CURTAIN IN THE LAST QUESTION

I think I know what this means

Two come to mind:

1. The "Omega is already Metal Shadow" headcanon. I was skeptical at first but pointing out the similar red and black color scheme complete with golden bracelets too, the "Ultimate Robot" moniker, hovering ability, and it starts to make a lot of sense.

Something I like about it the more I mull it over, is that it's really not important to anyone. If Omega really was meant to be "Mecha Shadow" or whatever, any semblance of him really being that is fully gone, and I find that amazing from a character perspective, especially since Omega probably doesn't know and doesn't care about it at all (and you can even slot some Shadow parallels into that)

Number 2... Just because you also said au

The "Amy Rose is Maria Robotnik" au

Dunno if anyone else came up with it before, but I first saw it from @/thejazzywaffles here

The premise is pretty standard: Maria was dying, took an experimental cure that turns her into a hedgehog, it scrambles her memories and she falls to earth and something happens and she wakes up ~50 years later. Pretty standard Maria the Hedgehog stuff.

Except as you can tell, she becomes Amy Rose.

I love it so much as a what if.

First, Amy Rose gets to say she's the Ultimate Lifeform. Doesn't matter if it's true, she took some Ultimate Lifeform juice, she's the Ultimate Lifeform and no one can convince her otherwise.

Maria forgetting Shadow is really tragic, but the feeling it brings of like, she had her own life, she's seen the world she only watched for afar and has protected it for years without even knowing of her past life is so gratifying.

The relationships she has have to be so different than if she was just Maria or Amy or Maria the Hedgehog. She's had friends for years now, and is probably capable to make Shadow far more approachable, but also she's still Amy so she's a little rascal which must send Shadow in concerned panics when she destroys the next badnik with that giant hammer, she must have sooo much gossip from the ARK days, she's a Robotnik suddenly and Tails might get an on-and-off lab partner??

Imagine going from the crushing loss of the sick young girl you were made to save, that you never had a proper shot to try because of the attack on your home, to a week later where she's doing a tarot reading for you and leaping into danger to save others and kicking ass like she has for years without you.

And those are a few of the reasons I wrote a fanfic about it called You Were There The Whole Time that combines this concept with the Semi-Hero Dark Ending of Shadow 05 where he becomes guardian of "the sacred ARK"

Phew.

Yeah that's my answer to that lmao
