#that being said; Sonadow is by far the most common ship so I've read plenty of fanfics that I *enjoy*

Hot takes?? 🔥 Sonadow has no sauce 😔

For me, many Sonadow fics I've read have both characters be highly OOC. Especially Shadow becomes very suave, gentle, loving, calm, and adoring of Sonic... and I don't see that happening in canon anytime soon XD We know Sonic and Shadow can work well together and not everything is about one-upping the other: e.g. in '06 and Forces, they collaborate really well and efficiently. But in the same vein, it feels very "business" to me, and not at all "we're good pals who love helping each other so much". Plus, those situations are emergencies ("trapped in the ruined future" and "Eggman has taken over the whole world" respectively); in calmer situations like TSR they're constantly trying to prove themself superior over the other. That's not a relationship dynamic that I really enjoy, simply put. Plus, I feel like it gets ignored a lot in fanfics in favour of them being well-adapted husbands who are head-over-heels with each other, where I think neither would express their affection in such ways. So yeah, I think Sonadow would not work with their canon personalities.
