What’s funnier than 24?

25.

[writer-of-worlds]

25 years since the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure came out.

Jesus.

I remember when I was around 5. My parents and I went to a store to get a swingset for my birthday. I was excited, because hey, a swingset! Kids during that time loves swingsets!

Then I saw it. Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, on display to play the demo.

I decided to give it a shot. Played through Emerald Coast, lost, but kept playing. I remember kids gathering around and watching me play, even talked to them as I eventually beat the level. And seeing how I love the game, my parents decided to grab a Dreamcast, a copy of Sonic Adventure, and the swingset.

I remember playing the game on the system. I was so scared of Chaos, but dad encouraged me to keep playing, telling me that the "Jell-O monster" (yes, I called him that LOL) won't hurt me because he's fictional. I did eventually beat Chaos and went to play Emerald Coast again!

And. That's how I got into gaming. How I got into writing fanfiction. How I met the many friends I have. If I hadn't stopped and tried Sonic Adventure, I'd probably wouldn't be here. I probably wouldn't be writing fanfiction. I probably wouldn't met all my good friends I made over the years.

Whenever I boot up Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, I imagine Sonic is there, waiting for me, with an extended hand, so we can run through the level again. Emerald Coast is my little happy place ❤️

When I die, I want one thing: to be buried with the Dreamcast and my copy of Sonic Adventure. To symbolize my life.

Happy 25th anniversary, Sonic Adventure. Thank you for introducing me to gaming ❤️

While I'm here, here's my Sonic Adventure 25th anniversary piece and some Shadow drawings (I love his little scarf, if you couldn't tell).

[shadamyheadcanons]

Submission: Amy’s Crushes (and her imminent denial)

(Submitted by @junebalaya​ case tumblr removes credit.)

I’ve always headcanoned that Amy had a crush on both Sonic and Sally.

I don’t know its ever specified what Amy’s reading was that led her to Christmas Island, but from what I read it’s something like a “great hero”, right? There are some fan media that tack on “a great hero with a name that starts with an ‘S’” which would be incredibly funny since it could go so many ways.

Anyway, Post-Genesis Archie did Amy dirty, but I’ve always liked Amy and Sally’s friendship and evolution in that era. Would it be so out of the ballpark that Amy’s admiration might lead her to glance Sally’s way once or twice? I imagine the feeling is so confusing and kind of hard to digest because she’s technically supposed to be her rival.

I’m not saying that’s the only reason that she treats Sally warmly, but I love the idea one day she sees the regular SonSal antics and feels jealousy towards Sonic rather than for him.

And then Shadow comes along, and she’s completely thrown in the loop.

She’s already struggling with juggling her affection between two different people and now this alien thing who’s kinda like Sonic but not really, shows up and makes her feel seen and shares her sentiment of protection and authenticity. She’s so confused because this isn’t supposed to happen, she has one love and she’ll only ever have one love.

–

((I haven’t read nearly enough Archie to judge that, sadly. I do love Sally and I ship her with Sonic, but that’s because I watched SatAM as a kid. All I know is that I like it when she and Amy are good friends, so I always write them that way :)

The Japanese Sonic CD manual said her cards predicted a “destined encounter.” I like to point out that “destiny” doesn’t necessarily equal “marriage,” and it could just as easily mean their meeting was destined because it led to her helping to save the world so many times, though I suppose that’s beside the point. Sonic Origins has a cutscene that showed the exact reading:

The cards shown are these, all drawn in Hero orientation:

These appear in Amy Rose’s official fortune card deck, where they’re given the following descriptions:

Time: Change is on the horizon. Be prepared for it, whether you saw the change coming or not.

Travel: You’re about to start something new and exciting; be prepared for anything!

Doom: A major event is going to happen! It may not be comfortable but needs to happen. Make the most of the situation.

…and then she cheats and tosses Doom aside to draws the Hero card instead, whose description reads: “The strength you need is inside you! Be brave, and forge ahead with your decisions and goals.”

Her actual reading of disaster was correct, as she was immediately kidnapped by Metal. Even if you count the card she cheated to get, I’d argue that due to how the reading works, the Hero would refer to herself. She’s the one who forged ahead, right?

Anyway, Amy’s gaze does occasionally fall on women. On October 7th, 2016, Sonic Channel released a mini comic in a series for Sonic’s 25th anniversary where Blaze helps out their friends. I don’t know all the details, but I do know Amy looks at her like this:

And my limited Archie knowledge includes issue 268 where she fawns over Honey the cat:

This also supports my headcanon that Amy’s pansexual; I’d argue it’s just canon that she’s bi or pan. It makes sense thematically that The Love Character doesn’t have entire genders locked off to her. That said, I don’t see her mini-crushes rivaling her main one, regardless of who the main target is. This goes for her little feelings for Shadow, too. I can’t see Amy being properly polyamorous. She doesn’t share, even as recently as 2023…

[Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Chronicles again, Archie Sonic Universe Issue 21, Sonic Rush, IDW issue #59, and the Sonic Frontiers DLC]

…and her romantic feelings are too all-encompassing for her to look elsewhere for too long. I do have a headcanon about the awkward transition in between the Sonic crush and the Shadow crush, though.

I think it’s a little amusing that Amy’s the most jealous character in the franchise (imo) while Sonic is the least. From that same exact issue where Amy’s fawning over Honey:

By the way, I’ve been loving your ongoing comic! It’s absolutely hilarious, and I adore the way you draw and characterize Cream in particular. For those who haven’t read it, it’s called Cream the Firestarter. Highly, highly recommended.))
