tbh i’m not really a meta person but i’m a bioethicist by training and i thought this could be interesting to discuss
i think n and m’s routes both have this underlying, unexplored discussion of bodily autonomy (which is what vampirism is all about when you’re a bioethicist. i am not just here for the sexy fangs, i am here for the ethical questions that will give u a headache!)
and their experiences diverge and parallel and form this complete picture of what it means to be and have a body and it would be really fascinating to see a love triangle route for them because of it
m’s route, with its focus on the conflict between physical and emotional intimacy (putting aside, for a second, the shallowness of the separation between the two, because to be physically intimate with someone takes just as much bravery as sharing your feelings with them, actually), has to place an emphasis on the consent aspect of bodily autonomy, where choices you make about your body require your complete understanding and allowance, free from undue pressure
n’s route has a preoccupation with their vampirism. there’s this psychological concept called moral injury, where you feel like you’ve done something (or acquiesced to something, or allowed something) that is deeply against your morals/values/life, and your moral injury can become a disorder. it’s similar to ptsd (and often walks hand in hand with it), and people who experience moral injury feel intense shame or guilt about it. i think maybe n becoming a vampire caused them some fictional equivalent of a moral injury, especially considering the circumstances in which they were turned
so n’s route approaches the question of bodily autonomy from the opposite side, when you have no choice but to consent (which is really common with disability, where you have to do things you don’t want to do because you do want to live) because to not consent would be death
does that make sense?
it’s like. m’s route is about what you do with a body. n’s route is about what you do to a body
#twc#disclaimer: i have not read book 3 so i don't know if i missed anything i'm just going off memory#if i delete this it's because i decided i was overthinking it#ptsd tw#idk what else to tw about but i am sure there is something so#ask to tw#long post#sorry for the snippy aside about physical intimacy the discourse on emotional vs physical is just. like really tiring lol#they're inseparable one is not superior to the other#anyway just some thoughts i had while i was working on the flutterby fic

Queer Ladies of Sonic the Hedgehog
The Sonic franchise doesn’t have a whole lot of romance. There’s the occasional ship tease, and that’s about it. And there definitely isn’t a lot of queer content.
However, there are some Sonic characters who have been confirmed to be LGBT+ in some way. It’s usually just a behind-the-scenes comment from someone working on the series, rather than representation in the story itself - but hey, it’s better than nothing.
I was interested in the women and girls in particular, so here’s all the (almost) canonically queer ladies associated with Sonic the Hedgehog.
Look under the cut to see the full list!
Sally Acorn is bisexual and Nicole the Holo-Lynx is in love with her.
Pre-reboot, Sally was Sonic’s girlfriend. Post-reboot, however, the writers place a greater emphasis on her connection with Nicole. This would suggest that Sally is bisexual.
Nicole loves Sally back, so - depending on whether you see her pre-reboot interactions with Shard and Espio as friendly or romantic - you could read Nicole as lesbian or bi.
At one point during the Spark of Life arc, Sally asks Big the Cat if he minds that Nicole isn’t organic like the rest of the Freedom Fighters. Big’s response is, “As long as they’re nice, I don’t care what anyone is.” This exchange could be read through a queer lens - in which case, Sally is checking to see if others are okay with her dating Nicole, and Big is suggesting that he’d accept them.
Ian Flynn has stated that he supported the Sallicole pairing and left subtle hints to it throughout the Archie Comics series. However, it wasn’t featured too strongly because he knew a large proportion of the Sonic fanbase would not accept Sally dating anyone other than Sonic.
Gold the Tenrec is sapphic.
Evan Stanley stated on her Tumblr blog @spiritsonic that she was “leaning towards either bisexual or lesbian” for Gold’s orientation. She added that Gold would crush on Blaze, Sally or Clove: “women who seem to have their s*** together”.
Gold’s sapphic identity was never established in the comic before it was cancelled. In the Silver Age arc, her only appearance, she was surrounded by boys and men - Silver the Hedgehog and Professor Von Schlemmer.
Clove the Pronghorn is a lesbian.
Aleah Baker has stated that Clove was intended to be written as a lesbian. Her conflict with Sally and Lupe had “a mix of admiration of their leadership with a bit of a crushing angle”; that was Baker’s mentality when writing.
However, there was “zero romantic angle” to Clove’s story, her lesbian identity was never acknowledged, and the comic ended before she could be put in a situation where romantic stuff would become relevant.
Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf are in love with each other.
The creative team at IDW Publishing is aware that people ship Tangle and Whisper, and has been leaning into it in subtle ways. For example, Whisper’s tail wags rapidly when Tangle puts an arm around her.
Flynn has explained that SEGA does not want the IDW comics to “go in-depth” with any romantic relationships - even Sonic and Amy are supposed to be “just very good friends”. So in a similar vein, Tangle and Whisper have to be written as “really, really, really, really, really, really the bestest of friends.” But hints are still being dropped.
Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary got married and had a kid.
In Sonic the Comic, Amy and Tekno were two Freedom Fighters and good friends who were sought out by the Ring of Eternity, a sentient dimensional warp which sent them on missions to right wrongs and fight injustice through time and space.
In an issue of the fan continuation Sonic the Comic Online which was co-written by Nigel Kitchen (someone who contributed to the original series), a glimpse into the future reveals that Amy and Tekno will settle down together and have a son, and that Sonic will be his godfather.
Given that Amy and Tekno also have a soft spot for the boys in their life (Sonic and Shortfuse, respectively), it could be said that they are bisexual in this continuity.
Rouge the Bat and Topaz had something going on.
When these two women first meet, Rouge asks Topaz what she likes to do with her handcuffs (a joke that was cut from the official English dub). She also teases Topaz about her age and weight.
However, it’s hinted that a more friendly, or even romantic, relationship has developed over time. When the portal to Sonic’s world is powered up, Rouge gives Topaz a gem - “a steal” from the jewellery store - as a parting gift. She then bids her companion farewell as she enters the portal, leaving Topaz weeping.
Rouge could be considered to be bisexual, given her canonical interest in both Topaz and Knuckles.
Emerald the Iguana is genderfluid, Crystal the Cat is bisexual, and Sapphire Flutterby is a lesbian. (And Jewel the Beetle might be a lesbian too.)
Emerald, Crystal and Sapphire are some of the “Jewel Crew” OCs created by Jennifer Hernandez. They have made cameos in the IDW series now that Hernandez is an official Sonic artist. And one year, for Pride Month, Hernandez posted a picture of the Jewel Crew waving various pride flags on Twitter. So I’m counting them as official queer characters. I know, it’s a bit of a cheat.
Three of Hernandez’s OCs are queer, and the other two (Jade the Cat and Ruby Ringtail) are allies.
One of the queer characters is Emerald, who is genderfluid. Emerald used to have she/her pronouns, but I don’t know if that’s still the case.
Secondly, Crystal (the pale pink cat) is bisexual, and Hernandez ships her with Mighty the Armadillo.
Finally, Sapphire (the butterfly) is a lesbian, and Hernandez ships her with Jewel the Beetle, as seen in her Patreon art. This could mean that Jewel is also a lesbian, or at least questioning her orientation.
And there you have it! All the (almost) canonically queer ladies of the Sonic franchise!

Halloween time gives Ashley, Ninten, and Flutterby a reason to spend time in forms befitting the season. Even during this time, they're still a group of friends that get along with each other.
Ashley and Ninten go for a bit of lycanthropy as a pair of werefoxes. While it's not known how these two have these forms, their more beastly forms do not separate them from being best buds.
Flutterby likes to fly, so to stand out from her friends while still having wings, she goes for a bat form. Like Ashley and Ninten, it's unknown how she is able to become a bat. Regardless, this doesn't stop her from hanging out with her werefox friends.
Originally made for Halloween 2022.

Do I start writing the sprawling and overdetailed reader insert for bllk that lives in my head or, as they say, do I wallow in my daydream like a pig in the mud?
#puffin says stuff#in the au reader is hiyoris twin and had the same overbearing parents#but reader did dance as a kid and got scouted to be an idol#and after a bunch of twists and turns theyre basically one of bllk's mascots/mcs#this is where mem/mikan comes in too as readers debut partner#blah blah blah#and then the story branches#i would really like to write this all down however 1) abnormally large amounts of charactacter development#2) very detailed for a reader insert and 3) i have absolutely no clue how the idol/entertainment industry works#i read oshi no ko and this was the result#and if u are wondering then yes this is where the idol hcs came from i washed out a lot of the details lmao#i really enjoy long reader inserts (see: butterfly flutterby on ao3) but im terrified of the commitment of writing them hahaha#if you read all this. thank you for putting up w me. and also feel free to send questions#im going to have to get past all my embarrassment about this wish fulfilment before i get around to posting wont i?#haaaaaaaaaaa........ (sighing)

Darling flutter-by, dance and charm; giggle and twirl for those who flash a smile or spare some time. Few content to brush against glittering wings. More demanding a piece to keep for themselves. Become good at goodbyes; whether said aloud or fleetingly thought into a wayward breeze. Left with an empty confused feeling, let them carry pockets full of dust and no meaning.
