#i mean i guess its not an unfair assumption considering the way the entire internet has treated elise for the past decade and a half

Sonic is so unromantic and unbothered by relationships that I legit didn't even realise that Sonic is supposed to canonical reciprocate Elises feelings before the end 6 his 06 campaign. I legit thought it was one-sided for the longest time, but nope.

The problem is that I think this is actually too in character for Sonic, and if they legit tried to give him a 'proper' romance arc, then it would just feel fake compared.

FOR REAL this is the only game that elise appears in so i cant really comment on her typical behavior or what her other relationships are like . but with sonic i Can do that . and randomly making a new friend and becoming very close with them or having some emotional moments with them over the course of the adventure is just average sonic behavior that doesnt usually come with any blatant romantic implications regardless of the gender of the other person. and imo he doesnt really treat elise much differently than he does his other friends

the moments that do kinda read as if theyre meant to be romantic only feel that way because im watching them after being told theyre supposed to be if i had seen it without that knowledge i probably would have just been like Oh sonic and his new bestiAHHHHHHHH KISSING JUMPSCARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
