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.

"It's hero time, get ready to rumble!" "Don't get in the way of Rough and Tumble!"

So, I have a whole AU involving the Bad Guys squad and the villains in it, and we have a lot of thoughts and vibes about it, but we'll start off with Rough and Tumble!

First of all, they aren't actually. Evil.

Like, at all.

They're just really bad at being heroes to the point of being mistaken for being villains. Also they keep getting duped into villainy because they're not...the smartest people ever.

Second of all, the outfit explanations!

The first outfit is their default outfits, because the outfits that they had in their concept art slapped and I wanted to bring it back.

Second outfit is what I like to call "the identity theft arc" which is when the two were duped by Starline into pretending to be a couple of gods at the expense of having their (already terrible) reputations get worse.

Third outfit is when they're in prison pre-jailbreak in Bad Guys. It's just a pretty standard prison jumpsuit.

And finally we have the "uniforms" for when they worked for Starline in the Bad Guys arc! They both are much more casual about it then like. 90% of the group.

I like these two a lot and I have so many thoughts about them so :3

(When someone asks Rough & Tumble about their ages)

Rough : Oh, I'm 4, and Tumble is 6 !

Mimic : What. You two are not that fucking young!

Starline : Not to mention you're twins.

Tumble : Yeah, We're twins. We just don't share a birthday.

Zavok : What?

Rough : Yeah! Every year, we fight to see who's birthday it's gonna be.

Tumble : And whoever wins turns a year older! The looser stays the same!

(Zavok quietly trying to do the math in his head)

Starline : Do you two at least know how old you were when you started this... tradition?

Rough : Nope.

Tumble : No idea.

(Zavok quietly gives up on the math)

Mimic : Do you two even know the day you were fucking born?

Rough : Nah, we just picked a random day.

Mimic : Fair.

Starline : Pardon?

Zavok : I can't say I've paid close attention to you Mobians and your smaller ages, but I'd say they're about the age you consider teenagers, just based on their behavior.

Mimic, getting flashbacks to having to work with Whisper during the original Diamond Cutters : Not again....

Tumble : Yeah, we can get behind that! We're uh- We're Sonic's age! How old is Sonic again?

Mimic : I don't know, maybe fifteen? Is he still fifteen?

Rough : Yeah! We're fifteen!

Tumble : Yep! We're fifteen now!

Starline : That's.... That's not how it - (tired and somewhat defeated sigh) Alright.

- Context & Headcanons under cut -

I was going to take this as an opportunity to show off the Bumblekast clip of Ian Flynn talking about how Rough & Tumble celebrate their birthday only to find out that I accidentally lost or deleted the screen recording at some point.

It does not help that because I'm Autistic and, therefore, struggle to read black text, making the concept of going through the Q&A Masterlist a nightmare.

Not to mention, I don't remember what year that question was from 🥲

[ Not mad just mildly annoyed that I lost the clip ]

But yeah, this incorrect quote post basically explains the Bumblekast's lore (based on my memory of it).

They don't know their actual birthday.

They picked a random date.

And they fight over who's birthday it is.

As for my headcanons :

Rough & Tumble are teenagers. High school age.

When Mimic was younger, he got annoyed about others trying to do things for his birthday (He does not like attention and has no idea how to accept kindness or gifts) so he just erased his date of birth from any records as he got older. He still knows his age and the year he was born. He just doesn't really have any specific day anymore.

The Original Diamond Cutters ages are wacky imo. Headcanon : Everyone in the team, except Whisper was an adult. Whisper was taken in as either a Tween or young Teen.

I’m convinced Zavok is Australian.

Context: Whenever you say something to an Aussie, we will respond with either “alright” or “fair enough”.

playing these Old Man Yaoi games back to back leaves a mf confused as to how tf do men actually age

and also with a fight-or-flight response upon seeing a 20y.o.
