SONAMY NATION WE KEEP WINNING!

In the Hinamatsuri celebration many choose only to display the emperor and the empress dolls...👇

Do you see the similarities? 👀

Sega of Japan has it's own way to say, Sonic and Amy are together 🩷💙

Reminder it's not the first time Sega of Japan does this

Sega of Japan is not afraid to show their support for Sonamy 🩷💙

[tessasartori]

The fact everything can end terrible bad for a bakugan live action

Probably will change so many things, specially from the characters

Like, we have more to lose

I'm still in chock for the news

[tessasartori]

Are u telling me we will possibly see the og version of Dan kuso in live action ? 😭 I don't know how to feel about this

SO THIS MEANS WE WILL SEE DRAGO. THE DRAGONOID PYRUS

And I don't know how to feel if they chosed the second gen or the next ones

Like, they will probably change lot of things

And I'm afraid asf if they use the og girls 😭

But at the same time, i kinda wish they adapt the original team

[tessasartori]

And you know what's the difference? Those time I call out fans who tagged sonamy in it who wanted to start conflict with no reason to have a conversations. I wrote"...the need to tag sonamy in it"

"...Majority of them.." never the entire community.

Cause certain fans used tags to make fun of other ships. I called out their behavior for using other ships to favour theirs

It says that in my post.

Didn't generalize the entire community.

So uh

this kinda bothers me

So IDW is aware that certain characters aren't huge huggers, especially from Amy who is overly affectionate. Got it.

So... why is idw still portaying Sonic gladly accepting hugs from Amy with no discomfort?

Sonic isn't a big hugger, either. It's been established both in the games and in Sonic X that Sonic isn't a big hugger and isn't usually one who's touchy feely with affection, especially if he isn't the one to initiate it. He's shown to be uncomfortable and nervous by Amy glomping him, she overwhelms him.

And before you say "but their relationship developed!" No. It never did. It's just a change in their dynamic out of nowhere and it goes against Sonic's established characterization.

I can see him possibly allowing Amy to hug him while not reciprocating the hug, or reciprocating it while looking uncomfortable or holding her at a distance. This panel is fine.

But alot of IDW panels with Sonic just straight up accepting hugs no problem, no signs of being uncomfortable, surprised, or nervous just seems really out of character for him and just seems to be put in there for ship bait.

[tessasartori]

When I saw your comment about the double standard of how sonamy fans treat Sonic and Amy respectively is we're I found more info. Just dislike how you ask for more respect for sonelise but then don't do the same for Sonamy.

Complain about us by calling us toxic and how we don't understand sonelise but you don't want to understand sonamy. You then would say in the sonamy tag how we don't want to understand. Is a cycle seem to never end. It's a team work. U complain about Sonamy and fans but you already have a stereotype, an exact idea of the community. How can we be better if we only see stereotype?

Personally, I don't agree with your post. Sonic is growing as character like I said in the other post. We agree to disagree

I try and want to understand your POV but it seems you don't want to understand mine

So uh

I understand your POV. Many sonamy fans are toxic asf, one of them with sonelise fans. I've encounter sonelise fans making fun of me cause Elise could kiss Sonic and Amy not years ago.

Both communities try their best and ask for respect. Like you, you ask for respect for sonelise specially asking this to sonamy fans but this is a work for both sides. I understand your POV, Elise is truly misunderstood and doesn't deserve the hate in a misogynist fandom but I ask you the same.

You want people to understand and respect Elise but you don't respect my ship. First time I saw the Anti sonamy tag and I've saw you a lot. You misunderstood my ship and even be disrespectfull

You don't wanna respect sonamy but then ask us sonamy fans to be respectful with sonelise? That's a double standard

You would say: it's my opinion.

Yeah, Say sonamy fans are toxic and annoying fans. What a surprise!

If u we're doing a sonelise analysis that would be a mental gymnastic? That's why you say about Sonamy.

Sad how easily you dismiss sonamy and ask the same respecto for sonelise

If a sonamy fan did the same you did you wouldn't hesitate to call them out to misunderstood sonelise and Elise and how SonAmy fans are toxic/annoying.

I would be respecting Elise and sonelise. I don't have any problems with the community.

I ask in the most respectful way for you to respect sonamy but it seems you haven't.

I thought you would understand but you are doing the same thing you dislike sonamy users do.

So uh

I can understand your point. Pointing only Sonic for being an asshole and don't call out Amy's flaws. Specially on riders when Sonic let Amy get hurt and she thought the best thing to do was kick him with her hammer as a taste of her own medicine. Both acted wrong like dumb people they are.

I know you don't like Amy, i know You don't like sonamy fans. Majority of sonamy fans don't hate sonelise, they don't bother with it few vocal dislike it and I can understand the feelings when you like a minority ship full of misunderstood by fandom.

I could point of many double standards like you, few sonelise fans were making fun of me years ago for Sonamy 'cause Elise could kiss Sonic and Amy not. This didn't change my idea of sonelise, i don't feel hate or anything. Many fans tey their best to enjoy the ship

I can't change the feelings you have for my community. Just like I'm vocal to defend Amy uou are vocal to defend Elise. We're not so different and suffer as fans in our simmilar ways.

So uh

Because the Sonic of games already accepts Amy hugs without him being fully uncomfortable. (And IDW follows the Game canon). Frontiers shows a growth of Sonic and Amy respectively. Specially with the dialogues Sonic says to himself alone when no one can hear him

Frontiers is the Game we're Sonic realizes the situation is criticam and how his friends are in danger and possibly die. He feels vulnerable in many ways and tries his best to help them and while he's on his own in the adventure he feels lonely and he has his time to give thoughts.

Those moments were needed so he can realize how he took the past moments not so serious and he's afraid they won't get out of danger this time.

That's why frontiers was so important for the mainline, it's a new beggining for Sonic and cast

Sonic accepting Amy's hugs without putting his hand on her face like generations did Or Even being a total asshole with her (which seems many fans want that back for some reason :/) (Even if sxs generations changed it but the damage is already done) is showing a growth with how Sega and Sonic team want the dynamic between Sonic and Amy to be in the next years were fans don't see in a superficial way that Sonic "doesn't care" for Amy for doing this antics.

This image didn't help in anything for the series. Fandom still uses it as evidence for why Amy is not a good character or for anti shipping reasons but almost no one calls out Sonic for being an asshole with his friend, shouldn't that be a mischaracterization for sonic? Yes.

Sonic accepting Amy's hugs is not mischaracterization.

This is mischaracterization

What it goes against Sonic characterization is him being fully expressive of his feelings or acting obliviously in love or being kissy with his partner (like Archie did) Or him being the one to start hugs like prime Sonic did but I don't see anyone complaining about that, specially on the shipping side.

this is mischaracterization of Sonic's original character. He isn't the one to start hugs, he's uncomfortable reciving them

This too, even if he's joking

He still feels overwhelmed and uncomfortable when Amy is being lovy dovy with him. The difference is that the artists don't put a disgusted expression in his face so fans don't get the wrong ideas like decades ago were even in 2025 fans still believe these two are not even friends or that he's disgusted by her.

So uh

I think many are loosing the point. Many say "but he would do this with anyone of his friends" "this doesn't make Amy special from the other" "with this logic, Sonic is in ove with Chris/tails for saving them the other times" 🤦

... So then...

Why you think the show chosed Amy and not anyone else?

THAT'S THE POINT I'M SAYING

As a main character like Sonic you would have moments were your friends need your help and as a show you will use the tecnique of "show don't tell" by using composition, dialogues, environment music (like a romance, suspense) to tell audience this scene is different from the ones before

He would have done the same to tails, knuckles, cream and more? Absolutely, never said he wouldn't

But with them you won't use the same audiovisual dynamics for friendship for a romantic subtone

You as a artist need to show the audience why the main character has feelings for it's main love interest

AND HOW DID SONIC X DO THAT?

By showing Sonic that even with his fear of water he won't hesitate to rescue Amy?

That's why you don't have a scene with do much focus on Sonic swimming to rescue it's friends

So the audience can understand why Amy has a special place in Sonic's life and in consequence, show she's his love interest!

Don't expect a show/videogame or media to explicitely telling everything to you, specially as dialogue or as a kiss to show a couple being "teased" specially with sonamy were Sonic team gives attention to details and context behind those for the audience to keep interested in them by not explicity telling you "i love You" but more with actions.

While Amy is more with words, Sonic is not and the song used in ep 52 is from Sonic's POV it's an important details 👀

This is a good time to remind people of this moment.

Fans say, this moment doesn't mean Sonic has feelings for Amy he would do the same for all his friends.

So, why, of all his friends, they chosed Amy?

The boy is scared of water but didn't hesitate to save Amy.

[tessasartori]

Sometimes, I feel many Sonic fans from other ships treat sonamy fans and the ship like quite punching bags🥲

The Sonic fandom doesn't hesitate to point out us the flaws the community has by the few bad apples and treat the entire community as toxic.

But the moment a fan of other Sonic ship doesn't the same things fans accuse the sonamy fans then almost everyone ignores it, many times don't call out the few bad apples from the community or minimize it.

Many times the sonamy tag is or full of multishipping or quite full of non sonamy fans saying passive agressive things about the ship but the moment a fan calls them out then "it's not that serious lol"

Not all sonic ships communities are saint, everyone has toxic fans but what I feel as a SonAmy fan is how almost all fandom puts almost all blame in us when it's a problem that involved everyone

I feel there's a different energy put in this community were everyone can point out our flaws

[tessasartori]

[tessasartori]

Why majority of the sonamy fandom believes Sonic would be a total ASSHOLE with Amy music tastes? To the point were he makes fun of her in not a good way

I see this a lot in fanfics were try so hard to write a jealous Sonic

[tessasartori]

Call me delulu or my own bias but nothing will make me believe that Amy is a fan of Taylor Swift. And I can relax when I remember the Twitter takeovers are not 100% canon and I know you would say "don't think to much it's only for jokes lol" but if we are gonna make jokes with the characters act least we should do it well...

It's funny 'cause... You want me to believe Amy rose, a big supporter of the environment like the 98% of the cast, would idolize the most carbon-polluting celebrity, with emission that surpass the average person? 😭 (yeah I know, You would say you are talking this seriously but this is my fave character and seeing this is UHHH frustrating and 95% of Tumblr is about topic that can be in this category)

[tessasartori]

Personally, I've never been fond of shipping poly ships that include SonAmy, specially Sonic/Amy/shadow. I feel majority of them tend to make fun of sonamy of make Sonic the "asshole one" so shadow ends looking like the "best partner" for Amy :/ like, there's no equality

By the other side, there's the content showed as jokes like making fun of Amy and Sonic looking for the partner who fits with his lifestyle or just make the entire personality of Sonic as this "uwu where is my sexy partner :("

And I know, You would say "it's only jokes lol", but I've still see art and content of Sonic, Amy or in general sonamy is still used as the "Bad ship" or the one we should make MORE FUN while the ship involving shadow, conscious or inconscious, don't realize this other side of the coin.

And majority of times this makes me feel not so part of the sonamy fanbase 'cause majority ships it

[tessasartori]

This is the only fandom I've seen were many fans ask the company to not make canon the main ship, the ship said company created, to not "bother" the non fans...

This was already a thing for the Game version but now I've seen this with the Sonic movies

[tessasartori]

Also I feel there's a lack of Sonamy fanfiction in the sonamy tag (both Tumblr and AO3)😅

Where it's full of multishipping or it's pretty obvious sonamy won't be endgame in the story but are need for the angst/love triangle

And it's kinda sad how difficult it's now to find a fanfic with focus on sonamy and no other ship

Do you also see it?
