Dandadan x Sonamy

I rewatched Sonic Twitter Takeover 7 recently and been thinking a lot about this question (this is only part of the answer given) because I had a little epiphany about it.

Obviously these aren’t really ”””canon”””. The lore revelations to be had in these takeovers aren’t supposed to prove any major theories, BUT I like to look at the takeovers as a general guide for how the characters are meant to be perceived at the time of their release.

I remember people reacting to both this takeover and takeover 6 (sonic frontiers) a bit poorly because of how Amy’s feelings for Sonic were downplayed. Given the recent stuff with the Gens remaster, too, this still feels particularly relevant.

Amy’s romantic feelings for Sonic have been downplayed—there’s no denying that—but I don’t think they’re being erased. With the exception of that one clip from takeover 6 (where Amy says she loves Sonic, Tails teases her about it, and Amy backpedals, saying she said “like,” not “love”—very Boom! Amy, btw), Amy’s feelings have still been on prominent display.

However, two things have changed:

1) Amy’s love has matured,

And, more importantly, in my book—

2) Sonic’s response has matured.

In the above clip, Amy states emphatically that Sonic is “her’s” and that she loves him and that he’s perfect, but kind of stumbles over herself once she realizes what she says. Important to note is that she doesn’t take it back at all, meaning that she meant what she said, but probably would have said it differently if she had given it foresight, given the setting they’re in.

This reads to me like Amy is still very confident in her feelings but is making a conscious effort to be less pushy about it—perhaps for Sonic’s sake. However, sometimes it just gets away from her because her love is just so plentiful. It’s cute!

And what makes it even cuter for me is that Sonic is, just, like, totally okay with this?

What does he do when she goofed up and gets flustered about it? He laughs! Short and sweet. He’s very aware of her affection, and he doesn’t mind it at ALL. He loves when he can get reactions out of her (directly or not). It’s in this same takeover that Sonic rags on strawberry shortcake (Amy’s favourite cake flavour) again—specifically to tease her—and he laughs the exact same way, there, too!

(It’s also implied, there, that Sonic gets Amy to chase him, so he seeks out the game just as much as she does.)

Sonic’s response can still read as distinctly neutral on a romantic level, for those who’d prefer that, but objectively it’s a lot more overtly positive. There is no denying that he enjoys her attention.

So, it’s a rebrand. For sure. But I actually find this to be a lot more wholesome? Zainey Amy™️ (when written well and not over-the-top for comedy like in certain games) absolutely has its appeal and deserves its place in canon, but the idea of Amy literally being unable to contain her love for Sonic and her compliments bubbling over is very cute to me. I also find it more powerful and significant because she’s finding her words to express her love instead of just reacting. It’s more thoughtful and reads as more genuine, as a result.

It’s different, but in my opinion, not bad! She’s not boring. She’s still giddy, passionate, loving, and more compassionate than she’s ever been. And Sonic is more accepting (enticed, even) as a result.

Movie Amy racer AU 🏎️

Honestly, I don't have much of an idea for this AU. I never followed the plot for their race car game if there is a plot. I just like the idea of Sonic first meeting Amy in a very competitive atmosphere (apparently Amy is a very competitive girl).

Context

Amy is dead set on beating Sonic in a racer while Sonic is just playing along. As long as Sonic gets to spend time with this cute pink hedgehog, he’ll race her as many times as she wants. Amy is completely oblivious to Sonic’s feelings (and her own) due to her vying for first place and Sonic unintentionally antagonizing her with every loss.

Amy: no fair I want a rematch I’ll beat you this time just you wait!😡

Sonic (internally): oh my gosh she wants to spend more time with me!☺️Ok, ok Play it cool Sonic, just play it cool.😅

Sonic: Sure 🥱 whatever you say, I’ll beat you any time any place, Rosy.😎

Bonus:

Amy races in her car while Sonic races on foot. She rather races him at his best and fastest for the challenge. There’s also the fact that Sonic can’t drive for the life of him and he doesn’t have a license.

Sonic comes off as a cool rival on the outside but on the inside, he’s gushing about spending time with Amy.

Amy’s main goal may be to beat Sonic in a race but she’s also unknowingly racing to win someone’s heart (she doesn’t know she has already won it or that she wants it).

Amy’s car is also once again sentient and their name is Breeze.

One of my fav things about the IDW Sonic comics so far is that there are small little crumbs for people into shipping, but they don't shove romantic drama or whatever down your throat to the point of nauseam like the other comic did.

Going through the questions for this takeover I did see a few shadamy questions. …I asked one of my own as well

Also some like “how do you two feel about Amy” so there could be more sonamy crumbs too!

I need them to talk about shadamy tho I’m exploding
