Hi, this is only a what if question. Just for fun!

What do you think IF Shadow did succeed surprising Amy on her birthday? (The murder of Sonic the hedgehog)

Let's just pretend the birthday key doesn't exist

I'm running out of questions

For those who don’t know, in TMOSTH, Shadow covertly tries to buy concert tickets for Amy’s birthday. Unfortunately, she unlocks his train car before he’s able to. She’s touched by his gesture and insists on bringing him with her to the concert to apologize. Although Shadow dislikes the band, he begrudgingly agrees. Without the key, he might have been able to purchase the tickets in time, keeping the surprise intact.

I believe this would change nothing--in the best way.

Although Amy used the excuse of having ruined the surprise, I don’t think that’s really why she invited him. Guilt doesn’t make someone get all blushy and shy like this:

It wasn’t the surprise that won her over, it was his devotion. It’s possible she’d consider asking Sonic instead, but ultimately—pun intended—how could she? It’s the dedication. It’s how he remembered her favorite band. It’s how he’s willing to go farther for her than anyone else because she’s special, dammit! She’s worth it! Having him by her side is just one more reminder of what he did for her, one more detail that’ll make the memory a little more special. Shadow earned this.

And he can’t say no to her, no matter the era or continuity. From SA2...

“I have to keep my promise to Maria...and you.”

...to Shadow’s own game...

“I didn’t have any reason to help her, but...I figured...”

...to Archie...

“It’s decided, then.”

...and even in the Twitter Takeovers, non-canon as they are...

“[The concert] was fine...It was...noisy, and the crowd was annoying...but Amy seemed to be having fun.”

[1]

“Amy is quite...insistent. I’ll admit Amy’s enthusiasm does make [shopping]...bearable.”

[2]

He always caves. There are official writers in every corner of this franchise who get it, especially for TMOSTH.

She’d ask, he’d agree, and they’d have a wonderful time. It’s meant to be. Aren’t they always?

Thank you for the ask!

((This is based around Sonic Dream Team, but you don’t have to know the plot to understand it. I just had to do something with this:

Non-shippers say he only checked on her first because she was closest. I’m more interested that the animators just so happened to make him land closest to Amy for the excuse. They could’ve put him next to anyone--his bff, the main character, the kids--but they conspicuously set him up to check on her 👀))

--

After receiving a distress call from Rouge that was cut ominously short, Shadow followed the signal to one of Eggman’s bases. He teleported into the room and found Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, and Eggman all passed out on the floor. Feeling oddly protective of Amy as usual, Shadow instantly made a beeline for her. Just as he was checking on her, he got sucked into a dream world along with everyone else.

He awoke first, only to choke when he found Amy had rolled closer to him in her sleep and was now cuddling happily in his arms, face buried in his chest fur. He turned scarlet and wiggled out of her comforting embrace, teleporting away before she could wake up.

Amy’s eyes fluttered open moments later, but she didn’t stand up right away. She felt strangely warm despite the cold tile floor, and she could smell a hint of something...nice. Reassuring. Familiar.

Cream ran up to her for a hug before Amy could analyze it too much. The last she thought of it was wishing she could always wake up feeling so well-rested.

I have my preferred ship, but honestly I think they're all adorable 😊

I was honestly in a angsty mood listening to mitski’s I bet on losing dogs so- ya know I gotta do what I gotta do 😞🍽️ pull up with the angst late at night

Sonshadamy is funny to me because you think the one that has a gun, a motorcycle, have demonic powers or the one that has fought Gods of Space and Reality would be the scary ones, but no, the Pink hedgehog that has a massive hammer is the one you should be afraid of.

New shadamy clipped dropped and I felt compelled to draw it out

I can't get over how Shadow needed Rouge bribing him with a fucking spaceship to reluctantly attend Sonic's birthday party, but for Amy's birthday he not only went willingly but got all decked out in a costume, played along with the murder mystery game, went through lengths to get her tickets to her favourite band as a surprise present and agreed to go to the concert with her afterwards even tho he doesn't listen to their music to boot. Either Amy is a different kind of special or Sonic is just a different kind of "not worth it" lmao

Ok, this blew up more than expected so while y'all are here please consider helping out these guys!

sometimes I forget orchids grow on trees and I’m like. oh.

oh WAIT A MINUTE we've all been getting it wrong. in a magical AU, Eliot Spencer isn't the one with healing powers or immense strength—he's the psychic.

"it's a distinctive____" no the fuck it isn't. he just KNOWS. but people get uneasy when a guy just KNOWS stuff, so eliot learned a line that keeps everybody calm, gives everybody just enough plausible deniability to keep the unease at bay.

he's always got that extra bit of knowledge to help him out. not more than he can handle, not like some kind of savant in more ways than it's possible for one human to be. nothing flashy. it's not that eliot's never lost his keys before. it's just that he always, always knows where to find them.

I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.

@batbirdies honestly this SOUNDS like something your Jason would say

[the-moody-angel]

Oh, this is incredible.

Improv swing dance to a Todrick Hall song?

And they killed it!

unfortunately at some point in everyone's lives they endure the periods of their life called "being 14" "being 19" and "being 27"
