#i lost the thread somewhere but tldr archie was on the right path with them i fink. but like archie shadow's such a softie

how do you think a meeting between blaze and shadow would go? furthermore thoughts of this duo would be a cool addition:))

archie did a cool thing where their first meeting was largely just shadow trying to get home/out of blaze's dimension and not very long, just a brief meeting that garnered some respect on both sides -> the next time they meet, rouge wants a sol emerald .... amy and cream are trying to get it for blaze .... the babylon rogues want it just cause it's them ..... nack/fang bark and bean want it cause it's them etc. etc.

so initially blaze reams shadow for being a dick essentially (he tries to apologize about the whole thing but if he were REALLY sorry, he wouldn't be trying to deprive blaze of an emerald literally vital to her dimension just like how the chaos emeralds are for his) and in the end shadow does the right thing and gives the sol emerald to blaze thus ending on good terms again with continued mutual respect for each others' skills etc etc OKAY SO WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY

IN THE GAMES THEMSELVES CONSIDERING FUCKING NO ONE INTERACTS WITH BLAZE IN 06 ASIDE FROM SILVER, i think it might be a similar situation maybe? like either sol emerald or chaos emerald fuckery ... in not-the-sol dimension ... i would like for them to do a classic sonic character bit and fight before ending up having to team up like cutting their fight short almost to force them to work together and then after the fight itself they realize each others' skills and can stoically nod at each other in respect :)

realistically they're very emotionally detached (mostly, blaze is working on it more than shadow but they both got competitiveness and Fire in em hehe) so i don't think they'd truly end up That close but for the bit i want them to become inexplicably good friends and the joke is everyone's like "when did you become good friends with blaze/shadow" and it's just bc they can both sit in silence drinking their tea/eating their coffee beans. it's just vibes man. weirdly good friends
