making a post about tangle & whisper's relationship because I LOVE THEM
Okay, so, Tangle clearly cares about Whisper;
After Sonic's death, after the danger of the Metal Virus- after Tangle died and Whisper could barely cope with the grief, Whisper's anxious. She can't relax- and so Tangle is trying to reassure her!! She just wants her to be happy!
And then the Metal Virus.
When Tangle died, she apologized-
She said to tell Whisper and the others that she's sorry, that Whisper'll take it really hard, and that she's sorry.
Sorry for what, though?
Being a hero. Sonic wouldn't let her be sorry for being a hero- he's seen too many good people say the same- like I said in a previous post.
And then Whisper finds out.
She watches her girlfriend, the woman she loves, be taken away from her as she can't do anything about it.
Tangle is so strong.
So brave.
She never gives up- and keeps a smile in even the harshest times.
She was Whisper's everything.
Her hope.
And now? She's gone.
Whisper almost never opens her eyes.
She almost never speaks at a regular volume.
Here? She screams at the top of her lungs and bursts into tears, completely distraught and broken by Tangle's death.
She couldn't cope with it. She had to be physically restrained to stop her from jumping to save her girlfriend.
And then she breaks down completely, and holds her head crying.
Even later, she tries to get revenge.
Because she can't take it.
She can't deal with Tangle's death, so she has to avenge her.
She can't deal with that loss again. She can't have Eggman take another friend away from her. She's so angry- so horrified- so sad-
So she tries to kill him.
Cream has to stop her- because Whisper was absolutely broken by Tangle's death. Tangle, in a way, was Whisper's light in the dark- a speck of hope when all seems lost, and she's always tried to reassure her even in the darkest of times- like here in Whisper & Tangle.
Whisper's threatened- and Tangle's worried, at first, but when she sees the note? The threat to her girlfriend? She's disgusted. She says that they're going to find who did this, and they're going to kick his fucking ass.
And look at their reunion here.
Whisper was so lost without her- She was absolutely ecstatic that Tangle was back.
Remember, Whisper doesn't like hugs. And here she tackles Tangle.
theyre canon your honour i swear to god

Concept: Sonic going to Soleanna for some reason, bumping into Elise and they just lock eyes for a second with the weirdest sense of deja vu.
“Have I… met you before?”
YES YES!! EXACTLY EXACTLY!!
it seems like in canon sonic actually remembers the events of 06, at least somewhat, but the ending of 06 is super open and seems to hint that something feels familiar so i LOVE this idea
they feel SO familiar for some reason. Have we met before? she swears she's seen those eyes before, he swears he's heard her laugh before. how do i know you? And they dont know! But that sense of familiarity makes them feel like theyre closer and they get to know each other, bit by bit, relearning about each other!!!
Sonic is just visiting the country for some reason or another, maybe it's a different celebration that's happening or maybe it's the sun festival, a different year and a different timeline but it's still there or maybe he's just sightseeing.
he's heard the sunsets are gorgeous this time of the year, that the canals reflect the light like an all consuming fire and he's so caught up in admiring all the beautiful buildings and towers that he doesn't realize someone's in front of him.
he bumps into them and they almost fall except he catches them before that can happen, of course, he holds them lightly while he stabilizes them on their feet. obviously they're human because of the height difference and he doesn't see their face.
as soon as they're alright he looks up and he opens his mouth with something akin to "sorry about that" on the tip of his tongue except something happens before he can even really begin his sentence.
emerald meets sapphire and Sonic blinks and it's like a lifetime just flashed before his eyes but it was all too fast, even for him, and he's just left with the vague sensation of having stared into those eyes before.
it seems like the stranger had the same sensation because her mouth also parts and she looks at him in some familiar way too,
"have we... met before?"
it's a strange feeling. like he's known this person before, he barely held onto her but he knows how her hand feels in his and she's only spoken a couple of words to him, yet he knows, somehow, he knows that he could pick out her laugh from a crowd.
it's like something he forgot. but he forgot, he can't remember, that's just how that works and though he's not sure how he knows what her laugh sounds like, he'd like to hear it again. make sure it's as authentic as his memory tells him it is.
Well. No time like the present.
"Don't think so.” he smirks. “I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!"
He does a little one-finger salute and the stranger smiles with something like fondness and nostalgia.
"I'm Elise."
