On a date

Recently,  opening limited-time cafes to celebrate certain events has been popular in Japan. There was a Pokemon cafe, a Love Live cafe, a Kirby cafe, a Sailor Moon cafe, a Rilakuma cafe, a Mario cafe, a Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen cafe… all serving food based on the properties, naturally. Things like Rilakuma-shaped rice relaxing in a pool of curry, a burger with Pikachu’s face and tortilla chip ears, y’know, things fans of the series would be into.

For Sonic the Hedgehog’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Sega decided to open a Sonic cafe. A couple of the menu items are what you would expect: a chili dog with a side of onion rings, a parfait based on that crazy ice cream from Sonic Unleashed… but everything else is just really random and weird.

Case in point, this Shadow burger, with a bun colored black by the addition of bamboo charcoal, which has been a popular trend in Japan the last few years. It’s not the bun that your eyes are drawn to, though. It’s the cheese. The cheese with a character printed on it.

THAT IS SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG CHEESE.

This is not a joke. This is a real thing that Sega has decided to do. There exist in this world slices of American cheese with Shadow the Hedgehog printed on them. I don’t even know how to react to this. The burger costs ten bucks and the menu claims that if you eat it, you might be consumed by dark energies.

Shadow the Hedgehog cheese.

I desperately wish people would start actually reading the AO3's TOS before confidently making 'user guides' to the AO3 that are just blatantly, flatly wrong.

Yes the AO3 has banned content. They do not allow anything that's illegal under US law - though US law, importantly, does not ban fictional depictions of things - and they do not allow any commercial content. That includes your ko-fi link, or mentions that you do fic commissions. If you do post fic commissions to AO3 and want to mention the commissioner, the fic is a 'request' from the commissioner. This protects the AO3 and you from copyright law.

No the AO3 is not 'a creative fanfiction archive'. It is a fandom archive. Your meta, insights, and theories are absolutely welcome and encouraged there. AO3 also encourages you to post other types of fanworks, like fan videos, podfics, and art, but unfortunately isn't able to natively host those like it does text, so fic has kind of become what it's known for. That absolutely does not mean that other types of fanwork aren't allowed, or are discouraged by the site culture! Anybody who tells you otherwise is just plain wrong!
