Not every positive platonic relationship is siblings. Sometimes people are just friends. Best friends, even! But just friends.
#i used to be so happy that fandom could acknowledge Sonic & Tails as brothers#but now i'm thinking that no one understands WHY they are brothers#given the way they are so quick to call *every other friendship* in the franchise siblings#Sonic & Tails are siblings bc *Sonic raised Tails*#he is Tails' big bro & his mom & his dad & his picket fence#in NUMEROUS different canons they have this relationship#including IDW (Amy: ''Well [Tails] was practically raised by Sonic'')#& Frontiers (Sage: ''A family born of love'')#they are not brothers just bc they are besties. they're brothers bc of this specific set of circumstances#that formed their relationship. and other characters just don't have that!#Knuckles and Tails don't have that. Knuckles and Amy don't have that! they are FRIENDS - not siblings!#even when I say Tangle has Cool Big Sis energy - i'm referencing the trope!#she is NOT Tails's sister. she's his friend. but she has the ATTITUDE of a Cool Big Sis trope character#that's all that means! jeez!!#tl;dr stop calling EVERYONE siblings. friends exist. let's hear it for friendship#(altho i will say the ''siblings'' tag gets brought out SO MUCH MORE when a female character is involved)#(Sonic & Knux have bants? boyfriends. Knuckles & Amy have bants? siblings.)#(it's *almost like* it's not abt dynamic at all but is just abt shutting down potential ships. curious.)#and no before anyone gets pressed i *don't* ship Knux and Amy either. they are FRIENDS.#but i'm just saying i think there mayhaps be an ulterior motive behind the misuse of the ''siblings'' label#just as there was by ppl who said Tangle & Whisper were ''sisters''

Hi!! Firstly, I LOVE your Tangled AU, so glad to see Tails getting more focus in AUās. I wondering: Do you have any general Tails related headcannons?
Hiya! šāØ Thank you so, so much! And ooo this is such a fun question. Tbh, I have too many, I could write an essay! This account isnāt as popular as my au blog since Iām pretty inactive on it so probably only like 3 people will see thisā¦ but I hope those hypothetical 3 people enjoy my inevitable waffle and chaos! <3
Will also use this opportunity to hype up some friends and people whoās work I admire!!!
A few of my favourite Tails Headcannons! :
- I love the idea that him and Sonic were 4 and 11 when they first met.
- Sonic will always be Tailsā big brother first and foremostā¦ however, as Aosth Tails put it: āYouāre my mom, youāre my dad and youāre my picket fence!ā. Sonic having accidentally become the closest thing Tails has to a parental figure has a hold on my heart and I love how writers like @chaoxfix and my homie @myyla-x portray this in their fics!
- After having first met (and honestly even a few years in) if Sonic ever had to leave Tails alone for a while for whatever reason, maybe to protect him from a particular battle, Tails would deal with hardcore abandonment issues. Poor lil guy would fear Sonic wouldnāt come back, that he didnāt want him around anymore (which is made 10 times worse if you headcannon he was abandoned by his parents). Lil guy wouldnāt know what to do with himself <\3
- Tails reminds Shadow of Maria. Probably my favourite Tails headcannon! Though I guess itās more of a Shadow headcannonā¦ am I using this as an excuse to talk about it? More likely then youād think. But ahh, those blue eyes, yellowish fur, sweet gentle childlike wonder, love of life and learning + Ian flynn has confirmed given her upbringing Maria was prob a bit of a science kid. Ah <3 Plus that brings the idea of Sonic and Tailsā dynamic reminding him of his with Mariaās and that makes me want to cry. I actually have a WIP fic about this headcannon but itās been a wip for like a yearā¦ hopefully one day Iāll finish it cause Iām literally obsessed with the idea and want to see it through.
^ Also extra nostalgic about this headcannon cause my friendship with @sh-0-w-1-sh literally started cause they were looking for art ideas and I was like TAILS REMINDING SHADOW OF MARIA!!! And here we are almost a year later!
- For better or for worse heās picked up a lot of his big bros traits. Iām talking puns, poses, that lil nose rub and foot tapping, occasional cockiness, being self sacrificial, the list goes on. Once he realises this or anyone else especially Sonic points it out, heād probably be super embarrassed and deny it <3
Speaking of picking up habitsā¦
- While he would definitely be scared by certain situations like this ( << the Starline issue 35 and 36 situation being a good example with other people being at risk and him not really understanding the situation or his role in it ) I think Tails would be pretty desensitised to being kidnapped or hostage situations at this point. Heād probably just find it an inconvenience more then anything or be entertained by the hypothetical villains incompetence. Me and @myyla-x had a conversation about this idea once andā¦ itās been like 6 months and weāre still talking about it. One day thatāll make sense. We got a lil carried away. Just a lil. Anyway someone get this kid therapy. <3
- An already pretty popular one but I felt the need to mention it cause I relate, but he gets so sucked into projects and his inventions that hours and hours can go by and he just zones out and forgot to eatā¦ well, anything but mints at least.
- Tails is a theatre kid. :D Is this self projection? ā¦ maybe. If nobody else gets me @guiltypandas gets me <3 :,)
- I think Tails would be in denial if Sonic died. As smart and logical as that little guy is, given how Sonic has beat the unbeatable, has come back before and seems invisibleā¦ yeah. <\3 I think heād always hold onto the hope that it would only be a matter of time until Sonic comes backā¦ even if this time that wouldnāt be the caseā¦ my friend @whitecatindisguise actually wrote an amazing fic about this when we talked about the idea called Heās (Not) Coming Back (which if you havenāt already you should totally check out cause itās amazing! And a heart breaking! The best kinda fic :,) )
- I think Tails has a heart of goldā¦but I also think depending on certain circumstances if he hadnāt have met Sonic he could have gone down a much darker path (which I guess ended up being somewhat proven with Nine in Sonic Prime!). Me and @casperangel have screamed about this too many times then I can count and it haunts me.
- Tails is a sweetie, a cutey patooty, like an adorable little house catā¦ but similarly (and yet again as proven thanks to Prime!) Tails definitely has a feral side. Especially if he hasnāt gotten enough sleep or gets his mints confiscated. @dunkinbublin and @studioboner ās accounts are absolute goldmines when it comes to Tails multitasking being an adorable lil guy and a feral lil menace!
- Tails and Tangle have sibling energy! I mean, Tails is basically everyoneās adopted little brother, Knuckles and Amy especially, but I think him and Tangles dynamic isnāt talked about enough and Iām super glad weāve had some sweet moments with them in the comics! @pocketscribbs is feeding the Tails and Tangle nation fr <3
This was super fun! Thank you so much again for asking and I hope you have an amazing day! And if someone actually read all of thisā¦ youāre a trooper :,) <3
#miles tails prower#sonic the hedgehog#this was too much fun#i have like 1 million more too Ahh#literally nobody is going to read all this but I had fun <3#tails is everybodyās little brother#they are siblings your honour#sth#sonic#tails the fox#knuckles the echidna#shadow the hedgehog#amy rose#tangle the lemur#sonic and tails#sonic headcanons#i still donāt know how to tag things what am I doing

How does the very first time Tails calls Maddie 'Mom' go?
Itās during Sonic teasing Tails. Sonic is poking fun at his baby bro, tickling him, and through giggles, Tails says āMama make him stop!ā And everything just stops. Sonic for once in his life is completely still.
āTails, honey, what was that?ā Maddie asks, kneeling to his level. Sonic leaves Tails be so he can get up. The little fox shuffles to Maddie, tails tucked and ears slightly drooping āI-Iām sorry Mrs. Maddie I didnāt mean to-ā āitās ok, baby. You can call me āMamaā if you wish. You are a part of the family after all.ā Tails immediately dives into Maddieās arms. Itās really setting into him now that he has a family. He has a mom, a dad, two big brothers, a dog, and a picket fence.
Heās just so happy. Sonic is happy too. And Maddie. And Tom when he hears about it. Knuckles doesnāt understand the fuss, but hey, if everyoneās happy, so is he.
