Okay so I know that sometimes you get leaks right? Sometimes you have people give you leaks and stuff? Like how you were given the leak for frontiers dlc a few months before the game came out. And how you have movies leaks?
Have you ever received a leak that you knew was fake?
Hahaha! Oh, boy! I have!😅
There’s one that has always stuck with me. I use this one as an example every once in a while when teaching others to trust sources.
Back in 2022, my friends and I were met with this “tipper” that claimed that he had Sonic 3 leaks. The funny thing about this one was that any time he talked to my friends and myself, the information changed. The “tipper” didn’t know that my friends and I were sharing screenshots of the leak to confirm authenticity. That’s how we knew that this guy was a fraud. Any time the conservation came to an end, we’ve made it a point for the “tipper” to talk to each of us by ourselves.
By the time he came to talk to me, the supposed leak change four times. I was told the most chaotic and unbelievable things. Stuff like Knuckles’ age, Sonic’s sexuality, how many movies Paramount wanted, and creating a character to replace Tails entirely. All really weird things. The “tipper” even tried to make it a point in saying that he was Pat Casey’s best friend. That was his selling point—I had to believe this guy because he claimed to be Pat Casey’s best friend. Let me just say the first lie that he told my friends was that he was an inside reporter for a known Hollywood magazine.
If you know me, you know that I have an unhealthy obsession with SCU. Any time I asked a question, he would say to check the interviews that the writers made to prove his point. Which, mind you, were all wrong from this “tipper.” His information contradicted info from the SCU Crew. And then he made the final claim that a fandom ship would be canon to the films, but with drastic changes. These changes were supposed to be Amy would be in the fourth film, she was supposed to be relatively older with a slow burning romance that extended into five films and her dating a really young Sonic.
When I showed the “tipper” that his story changed four times via screenshots, questioned the VA for Shadow (he claimed it was Tom Cruise once, Matt Daemon the second time), showed information regarding ships from SEGA, and public interviews that the SCU Crew did for the films, the conversation quickly turned into how I wasn’t a true fan because I didn’t ship sonamy. Apparently, I had to accept that sonamy was canon and that it was the equivalent of a sin to not ship it. (He claimed it was practically canon because of their color schemes, as well as the plot point in SatBK). I also got a comment of how it was wrong to headcanon someone’s sexuality and that Sonic would be a hard straight male. It was both hysterical and awful.
Hysterical being that someone went out of the way to fabricate an entire lie. Awful being that someone was so uncomfortable with the idea of LGBTQAI+ headcanons—and not shipping specific characters together—that they had to make someone feel horrible.
And you know what’s worse than that? It creates a stereotype for those that like a particular ship. It really ruins it for those that love a ship and want to share their love for it, but are afraid to. I’m not a sonamy fan. I do, however, feel bad for those that ship it. Because there’s jackasses like what my friends and I have encountered that ruin it for those that enjoy it. That’s not fair. And I’m so sorry that this is still a problem. People like that ruin it for the good ones. Not everyone that you encounter in the fandom—or in any fandom—will act like this. Please know that I don’t care about what you do and don’t ship. What I care about is if you’re happy. As long as you’re happy, then I’m happy.
But yeah, when it comes to leaks, always question its authenticity. And know if you’re not sure about something you’re more than welcome to ask me. I don’t mind looking into leaks and asking the tough questions.

Hiiiiii, I rly like your writing X3 I was wondering if you’d answer this question: What is your interpretation of what SEGA is doing with SonAmy as of right now? Seems like it’s becoming more and more canon. I know you’ve done similar question before, but could you maybe just answer this for 2021? Thanks!💖💙
No problem! And thank you, lovely Anon~<3 I love writing for the feels~ But also for the accuracy to be as close as possible if I can manage it! First of all, they’ve always been canon? Maybe not ‘in-world dating’ canon but canon in the sense that they are a official SEGA advertised couple since the get-go.
Tumblr media
Amy was created to literally be in the slot of ‘Sonic’s Girlfriend’ where she had feelings for Sonic and always a fun mystery as to decipher Sonic’s subtle ‘returned caring’ for her.
Tumblr media
As for 2021 we are so FREAKIN’ HAPPY to hear that SEGA is FINALLY marketing the two and VISUALLY SEEING the sales of their ‘couple shirts’ and the like make some profit. Furthermore, we have long-time fans and professionals in the careers within SEGA also vocalizing that they don’t mind the couple and even support it. With less emphasis on the ‘fandom fanatics’ of the raging past and more so on the fantastic marketability and popularity the couple brings to SEGA’s exposing their main IP, it’s become almost common ground to expect more and more people liking romantic and suggested romantic couples in all ranging medias.
Tumblr media
We need also mention the alarming rate of the worrisome numbers in Japan recently. Conducted studies have shown that most of Japan’s population is elderly, and in the very near future (About 5 years or so) a good chuck of Japan’s population will die. This means the Japanese Government is promoting more and more companies within both entertainment, advertising, etc. to be more ‘promoting family’ in their media. Japan needs more babies! And guess what?
Tumblr media
Mario Odyssey comes out with a completely ‘Wedding themed’ video game.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dramatic romantic underlying's in Zelda’s new game.
Tumblr media
Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s focus on romantic underlying’s along with Cloud willingly saying (English version) “Do I have any say in this?” As though to fight the idea that romance can’t happen and-
Tumblr media
Kingdom Hearts 3′s romantic underlying that literally has a song (Japanese) talking about rings and getting married called “Chikai” or also ‘Oath’ that in English is rewritten to a romantic song about going deeper into love called “Don’t Think Twice” but literally has the two ‘making their fates intertwined’ in a symbol of ‘romantic intentions’ such as marriage or even just fidelity in a relationship.
So? How does all this influence the latest Sonamy supersonic boom we’ve seen in the media recently?
Although Sonic is his own character, he’s also only 15 (But as many of you have seen in Anime, Japanese ages of appropriateness are different then our own cultures and societies) we see faint glimpses. In the mostly American-made Sonic Boom t.v series, the comedic moments of Sonic and Amy are very much to a genre of American audiences and how we view ‘funny love’ should normally be marketed as. (I don’t always agree with what they say, but that’s how they’re trained and believe the ‘trends’ go... so ... can’t argue with professionals? Eh? -I personally think they’re outdated *cough cough*)
Sonic is not one to express feelings in overly dramatic ways which is common place in American television and media, but he’s also got a ‘boy’s heart’ which means we won’t see a lot of things from him BESIDES ‘romantic underlyings’ that are probably going to be initiated and themed mostly and primarily in Amy Rose’s character (If at all shown or expressed.)
For these reasons, I believe SEGA is just hopping on the bandwagon and doing what they’re told, while also following the latest trends that the other big fellow companies are making a significant profit on. I know we wish and want SEGA to be ‘special’ in how they think, but they really are just a company that is trying to survive and outlast the competition.
It’s sad to think that way, especially when SEGA used to be so creative and always influencing the next best thing but that was YEARS ago and they’ve learned to tread water since then...
Tumblr media
(Goku being a grandfather emphasizes family in this particular scene where they take his granddaughter before a big tournament fight to a fair/festival. We see Goku with his family too, or at least, a successful son with his wife and daughter, spending time with his Father-In-Law, and the like.)
We see it in Dragon Ball emphasizing family, we see it in more romance-themed animes (and those that have only recently done romance, when they--for the longest part--never indulged in such things before or previously) and we now see more japanese games and media centralized around that.
What does that mean for Sonamy? Hopefully good things! Because if you buy the merch, they’ll produce more content. It’s a basic ‘supply and demand’ formula. If the demand (meaning how much you spend and want Sonic and Amy couple merch) goes up, then they have to supply to keep their business afloat. If they don’t they sink, but that DOES NOT MEAN TO BE AGRESSIVE. It means just support when they do something you like, and positively, kindly mention what you liked and wish to see more of if the future allows. No one reads aggressive writing unless, they too--wish to be aggressive back.
SEGA’s had issues with aggressiveness before, please let them see that couples in the sonic world won’t have a negative impact on their branding with irrational and bad-media frenzies. (Now, after saying this, I know people will start to do just that, don’t feed fire with fire, just let the fire burn till it has nothing left to consume, and carry on happily posting fanart or fanstories of what you love. Ignore to extinguish, which is what SEGA will do to Sonic shipping fans if we don’t act somewhat reasonably, okay?)
My predictions are such: 1. Amy’s crush will sadly lessen in impact and become more of a novelty, something that is treasured when moments arise to reveal her crush on Sonic, which in my opinion, is not her personality, but due to the heavy influence of women’s portrayal (Especially in America) being overemphasized and not done well, this is how they will try and combat it... (No one does this right and you shouldn’t base a characters solely on political reasonings...) 2. Sonic will have moments of caring for Amy or doing something sweet that can and probably will be interpreted as ‘a couple moment’ but he’ll remain mostly about other things, and the ‘underlying romance’ will have to come through Amy Rose’s character. 3. SEGA will loosen some rules after seeing more and more of the productivity and trend associated with marketing romance, and to keep up with demand and growing times, will finally let small moments emerge between the two, but the fandom will not be satisficed since we will now be desensitized to overly avert demure and oblivious stereotropes that will date their characters. and won’t allow them to proceed smoothly into the new area of customers and audiences.
Children are becoming extremely observant and aware. They are clever, and they always have been. It’s time to market to Children and Young Adults, not babies.
My ways to avoid this, predictions 1: New employees will surface that will start to get a name and reputation in the Sonic Fandom, along with youtube and internet stars who will influence certain marketing schemes (as is starting to appear now, and I feel will be just like ‘star marketing’ or ‘influencers’ that will be popularized in fandoms that companies will slightly make use of.) that will encourage new ideas and bring about a sudden ‘boom’ not expected. (Especially after the lull of the pandemic, I feel there will be an abundance of things happening in the upcoming years... but nothing right now, unfortunately, but at least they’re forced to focus on working on things instead of just releasing to keep up with other companies.)--In other words, they will incorporate new blood with the old, and they will lead Sonic’s IP into a ton of nostalgia and new beginnings that will actually stick and become Sonic’s new brand identity. (This will resonate with fans old and new, but still be a fresh leap into the future for the franchise and fandom.) 2. Sonic’s negative popularity will start to decrease, leading and paving the way for fame and possible adjustments such as more romantic themes to keep up with trends and Japanese Government demands (especially when the population starts to wither and it becomes an emergency situation to start encouraging family ties). Other than sonamy or romantic things, I believe new characters will pop up to ‘test the waters’ and see if we like romance intertwined adventures. 3. Villains will become more sentimental and caring, less comedically, they will be redeemable entities so that the company can market them more. This can also lead into funny romances that help other romances develop and have more meaning. (In other words, they’ll dig into their vault of familiar and new faces, go off the trend of ‘redeeming the villain’ and have more heart-to-heart moments that may inspire more canonical couples... especially if a newer villain were to have a crush that ended up helping two canon characters get together and leave the audience sympathizing more with the villain. This is an actual trend starting where Villains have more character and roles other than just being evil and staying that way till death. I suspect this will be popularized in American and possibly foreign media as time goes on.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I actually have a lot of the sonamy shirts lol But here’s an example of the villain actually helping the canon couple have more ‘romantic underlying’ moments together <3)
Tumblr media
Those are my current predictions, though I admit that some don’t sound all that hopeful. But hey! All my hopeful and positive predictions have already come true XD Sonamy is being marketed, the new media (Sonic Boom at the time) had subtle but more forward comedic hinting (that I don’t feel went all that well? But eh, that’s just me!), and SEGA continues to try and reface Sonic which his brand doesn’t need. I believe they will still try and rebrand Sonic continually until something sticks for them that they like. Sonamy may go through many iterations, as they are still hesitant with it, and we see that by only marketing their ‘younger selves’ as in Classic Sonamy, and are too ‘shy and uncertain’ if backlash would happen if they advertised a more mature-looking Sonic and Amy marketing. Again, I don’t know if they’ll fully grow out of this, so I predict they won’t.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I have this one but in black <3 <3 <3)
That’s it for now! My positive last comments would be the more we buy/purchase Sonamy merch, the more we’ll start seeing it in their media and entertainment products. Until then, do your best and write, draw, and review -kindly- to keep those articles of enchantment alive with the sweet sound of--”When will Sonic and Amy finally have a love song AMV moment for us?” lol

Hey... what about some Hanahaki SonAmy??? We know that Amy is head over heels for Sonic... but he doesn’t show it... so she gets worse... angst??
Amy had to admit that she almost fainted the moment she noticed she was coughing up flower petals.
She didn't think twice to go see a doctor to confirm it.
"Hanahaki disease."
"Are you sure?"
"Unless you secretly like to eat flower petals, then yes, I am 100% sure Ms.Rose."
The doctor had already warned her that if in two months she didn't do the surgery, she would surely die. However, doing the surgery will come at a great cost, losing the romantic feelings she has for Sonic the Hedgehog.
Death or love?
For anyone else, the answer will be clear, do the surgery right away but Amy didn't want to. She had to try one more time before she says goodbye to her beloved hero.
She had to accomplish two things. Hide her disease from Sonic and make Sonic love her back before it's too late.
.
Sonic wasn't never one for romance. He never really cared for it nor wanted it.
Although there was someone in particular who could change this ideology once in a while.
Amy Rose.
"So, any particular reason why you took me here?"
Sonic looked around the lake. It was one of those scenarios again. Amy and he will spend some time together, like a date. They will talk, laugh and sightsee the landscape. A very beautiful lake and cherry blossoms, as pink as Amy's fur surrounded them. Finally, Amy would confess his feelings for him, he will deny them and run away.
"I literally, have not much time...so I'll ask you this. Do you love me?"
This time it wasn't like he expected. Things will usually go the way he plans and they will always be in good terms. He noticed Amy was acting strange. She would usually look at him with loving eyes but now her green eyes were filled with anxiousness. Her body softly trembles and she held her stomach as if she was trying not to throw up.
"Are you alright?" Sonic avoided the question as he knew her health was a top priority for him. He walked closer to her but she pushed him away.
"I am fine...just please." Amy looked at the grass under her feet, her voice sounded tired, too tired and that pained him. "Tell me...do you love me?
It was serious this time.
But he couldn't say it, the words wouldn't come out of his mouth. He was trapped, he pushed away his feelings for so long that he didn't know what to feel. He didn't have the time to properly sit down and think about them because he simply didn't have the need to.
Because he knew that no matter the answer, Amy would be there for him.
She always is.
"No," Sonic added. "I am sorry, I don't think so."
He waited for Amy to answer. Deep down, she already knew. That his feelings couldn't just change in a few days nor few months.
She had a small hope, however, that maybe she had a special place in his heart.
"But, I really do care for you." Sonic panicked, he was afraid to make her cry. "You will always be a special friend to me."
"You will always be special to me too, Sonic." Amy smiled as she placed her hands on his cheeks, taking one last good look at who could be the love of her life.
She wished for this feeling of love to come back, one way or another.
.
Sonic had to admit that he was beginning to worry when he noticed that Amy was getting sicker by each passing week. He will bring her food and visit her once in a while and always asked her about her appointment with her doctor. It got to the point that she even had to stay for a whole week in her house. However, after that, she looked so much better.
Like a new Amy.
"Any new missions?" Sonic asked as he entered the Resistance HQ. In the beginning, he didn't want to be a part of it, he preferred going solo or with Tails. However, as time passed, Amy convinced him to stay as a full-time member.
"There are several ones, you get to pick," Amy said as she clicked a tab on her computer and opened the missions available.
"This one sounds interesting...investigating a rumor of Eggman's new biological weapon," Sonic said as he read the information on the computer.
"Oh, that one is taken, sorry."
"Who is doing it?"
"Shadow and I."
Sonic looked at her curiously, it was strange enough for Amy to take missions. According to her, she was already busy enough and couldn't afford to go. Sonic had asked her a few times already if she wanted to go on a mission with him, but she declined.
"Well, that's...great, I think," Sonic added, he looked away as he grabbed his neck. "I didn't know you and Shadow were friends."
"Yeah, we hang out from time to time."
Amy said it in such a normal manner that it took him by surprise. He played it cool as he noticed Amy looking at him.
He smiled and gave her a thumbs-up, "Well then, good luck!"
.
Sonic thought that it was going to be the end of that.
But it wasn't.
They would eat together, hang together, talk together, be together.
It was all about Shadow and Amy.
Sonic would be lying to himself if he said it didn't bother him.
"So...are you going to tell her or not?"
Tails, Sonic's best pal, knew perfectly well that Sonic wasn't doing any good. Of course, he was there to help his friend figure out his feelings once and for all.
"What do you mean?"
"You have been looking at Amy and Shadow since we got here." Tails said. They were currently at the Resistance's dining room. Tails thought that today he was going to eat his burger peacefully, but destiny had other plans.
"When are you going to realize that you like her?"
"Who?"
Tails rolled his eyes, can Sonic be more naive?
"Amy. You like Amy but you are just too stupid to realize."
Sonic quickly stopped looking at the pink and black one and turned to look at his yellow friend. "I don't like her. I am just worried that Shadow might hurt her."
"Hurt her? Really Sonic? Shadow has proven to be more than trustworthy. Look for a better excuse."
Tails was right. Saying those kinds of things were low and Sonic sighed defeated.
"I don't know...I don't know what to do." Sonic placed his head on the table and closed his eyes. "I was never interested in...those kind of things."
"Kind of things?"
"You know...Romance." Sonic turned his head to look at Tails. "I just...don't think I am fit for it."
Tails looked over at Sonic. He was doing bad, clearly. Tails had never seen his blue friend like that before and to be honest, he hated it.
"It's not about been fit...it's about making her happy."
"But what if I am not able to make her happy? I've messed up so much."
"That's true." Tails added. "But that should be reason enough for you to make her even happier."
Sonic looked up at Tails and positioned himself straight.
"Thank you, Tails." Sonic smiled.
.
"So, why did you bring me here?" Amy looked around the lake, she remembers being the same one she confessed her love to Sonic for the last time.
It was daytime when she confessed, but now, it was dark.
"The lake is very beautiful at night," Amy added. "But it is a bit cold, don't you think it's better if-"
"I like you!" Sonic said loudly as he interrupted Amy. He was blushing from cheek to cheek, waiting for Amy to respond.
Seconds passed and Sonic asked again. "Can you say something?"
"I don't know what to say."
Sonic thought that this was going to go differently. However, he still tried to stay positive.
"You can say that you like me too...because you do, don't you?" Sonic smiled as she got close to her but Amy instantly moved away.
That pained him.
"It's because of him, isn't it?" Sonic looked down to the grass under his shoes, disappointed.
"What?"
"It's because of Shadow, right? You love him don't you?"
Amy stood quiet, unable to answer.
"Don't you?!"
"Yes, I do!" Amy said almost screaming, "I love him!"
"Then, what about us?"
"There is no 'us', Sonic."
"What about all of those years you chased after me?" Sonic took a pause, trying to contain his anger. "All of those years, confessing your love to me...that love, is it really gone?"
"Yes, it is!"
"Why Amy? What did I do that pushed you away? I thought we were good with the way things were! Why Shadow? Why not me-"
"I had the Hanahaki disease!"
A few minutes passed after Amy said that out loud. Sonic couldn't believe his ears.
"Then...the day you confessed to me here...that day...you had the disease?"
"Yes."
"Did you...had surgery?"
"...Yes."
Sonic took a gulp of his saliva and continue to ask, "When?"
"Three months ago."
Sonic tried to calculate in his head, something wasn't adding up. "You began to be close with Shadow around 4 months ago, however."
"Yes," Amy added. "That's because I began to hang out with him after you denied my feelings for you."
"How did that happen?"
Sonic felt more than hurt now, he couldn't describe the strange pain he had in his heart. The weird sensation he had in his stomach.
.
"So the faker said no?"
Amy tried to clean her tears as she heard the voice approach her. She was still at the lake, looking at the water as she sat on under a sakura tree. "What do you want Shadow?"
"Me? Nothing." Shadow sat down next to the pink one. "What do you want?"
Amy couldn't control herself any longer and she threw up flower petals once again. She looked at Shadow, embarrassed.
"Don't tell anyone-"
To Amy's surprise, Shadow did the exact same thing she did.
He threw up a good amount of flower petals.
"You..." Amy looked at him surprised. "You too?"
"I didn't know what was the Hanahaki disease until I went to the doctor," Shadow said as he looked at the lake in front of him. "It's a strange disease. I am the Ultimate Lifeform, I am immune to any kind of disease but this one...because this one is different, like magic even. Luckily for me, I can't die because of it."
"But why won't you have it surgically removed? Amy added. "It must be annoying hiding all the time you have the Hanahaki disease, besides, coughing up plower petals is painful."
Shadow looked at Amy, who was really intrigued to hear his answer.
"Because I actually like it...being in love," Shadow said simply.
"Even if it pains you?"
"I've had the Hanahaki disease for a year now, I am used to it," Shadow added but he knew it was a lie, after a year, he still couldn’t get used at how painful it truly was. "But unlike me, you can actually die. You should have surgery soon."
"I know it's crazy but...I would like to keep on loving Sonic as long as I can." Amy looked at Shadow, who was listening carefully, "I won't have surgery until my time is out...I, too, like, being in love with him, you know."
"Understandable, if I was you, I would do the same thing."
Amy smiled and she asked teasingly. "She must be really special, ain't she?"
"Very."
"Can I know who she is?"
Shadow didn't say anything. He finally had the courage to only hold her hand softly,
Amy looked at his red bright eyes, and that's when she found out the answer to her question.
.
"You should have told me!" Sonic exploded with jealousy after hearing Amy's story.
"And then what?!" Amy screamed. "Would you have said 'yes' out of pity? You perfectly know that the disease doesn't get cured with fake love! I needed you to love, to really love me-"
"BUT I DID! I DID AND I DO LOVE YOU! I WAS JUST STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT REALIZE IT!"
Sonic screamed at the top of his lungs, seeing Amy's face hurt him more than the physical pain he was having.
Amy tried to be strong not to cry. Her frustation took the best of her. "I loved you...I loved you so much... and the thought that we could have been together, it really hurts."
"But Amy, " Sonic got closer to Amy and held her hands, tightly. "We still can be together, we-"
"No, we can't..."
Sonic knew this was coming, he refused to hear it, he didn't want to it. He just didn't want to accept that fact, not now, not ever.
Amy sighed as she gave Sonic one last look before leaving.
"We can't...because I don't love you anymore."
Amy walked away but Sonic tried to stop her. She didn't realize that he had fallen to his knees, holding his stomach as he tried to control the pain inside of him. He looked at her walking into the woods, disappearing out of his sight, leaving him heartbroken and alone.
and then...
Sonic began to cough up flower petals.

Shipping Info Meme
Answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.
Tumblr media
WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?:
SoRiKai!!!!!!!! and VanVen too
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?
I’m game for anything really, so long as there’s no smut cause Sora’s not of age and I suck at writing it :^) Vanitas is a bastard who doesn’t know anything about romance or healthy relationships, So---
HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?
I don’t really care about age gaps as long as they’re not an Adult?? I write Sora as 16 and Vanitas’s age is a Mess but hes physically 16. so I’d personally cut it off around 19 yes i know 18 technically counts as an adult but I mean 21+ in this regard.
ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?
Kiiiiinda? Like I don’t wave my finger and say “yes, I am going to ship with THIS lucky person” It all comes down to OOC communication and if our muses click. Of course sending each other memes and asks is appreciated too! 
HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?
WELL LIKE I SAID EARLIER I DON’T INTEND ON WRITING SMUT but for Sora and Vani’s sakes and my sake, all clothes stay On and if anythings removed he and I will scream.
WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?
takes out a very long scroll that spins out the door
Soriku, SoKai, VanSo, VanVen, Vaniku and SoXeha are my personal faves, but I’m also willing to do SoRoku, SoVen, SoNami, and SoXion! and I am down to clown with some Sora x OC or Sora x Crossover too! I’d say Vanitas too but he’s such a bastard man I can’t make that promise
I could ship Sora with anyone man, he makes it too easy gjkhfd
DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:
Yes, please discuss it with me!! I’m not going to forceship on you so please don’t forceship on me. Sora and I need chemistry to work something out. He’s easy to ship with though he gets along with just about anyone. I’ve touched on it before but shipping with Vani is hard and, in all honesty, I probably won’t consider any Vani ships outside of Ven at the moment. I really don’t mean any offense by this though!! I say this just because hes a very broken individual who needs to heal both himself and his relationship with Ven to even think about moving forward. I really love exploring his relationship with Ven and its very important to him and myself. Vanitas wouldn’t think about ‘loving’ someone else until he learns what it means to love and accept himself/his other half first-- and I don’t even mean that romantically unless any Ven wanted to go for that. and yes im aware I listed Vaniku up there but thats a big ol MESS and more of a ‘any rikus out there volunteering to get mcfucked up on darkness for vani’s amusement?’ thing
HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?
Shippings fun!! But it doesn’t happen very much ahah
ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:
I just go with the flow! If something happens, it happens! If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.
ARE YOU MULTISHIP?
Yes! They all go in their own little verse. This doesn’t mean I’m gonna go around collecting Rikus or Kairis to makeout with, no no no. For example, I’m planning a ship with aurene’s Riku but thats in a verse we’re planning with a Nightmare!Riku. So Snort and Post KH3 Snort are both available! Of course if the mun wanted to branch out into the mainverse thats fine with me too!  I don’t practice exclusives either so if the mun wanted to ship with other Sora’s as well I don’t mind!
WHAT IS/ARE YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP(S) IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:
SoRiKai, SoRiku, SoKai, VanSo, VanVen, soxeha but I’m really chill, I’ll ship just about anything.
FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:
Write with me, talk to me ooc, send me asks or memes, and if we and our muses click we can discuss! i say discuss but really its just like ‘DO U WANNA.... SHIP MAYBE.....’
Tagged by: @zephyrlost Thank you!  Tagging: I’m having such a brainfart right now Just steal it from me if you want to do it I do not mind

The Antoine and Bunnie Retrospective - 168
“Blackout” - Sonic the Hedgehog #207 
So way back in issue #110, Robotropolis was nuked by Station Square. Now I didn’t cover that story in the retrospective, but since then the city has been kept under a containment field and New Mobotropolis has been using the radiation as a source of power. 
As such the Iron King gets the idea to break the shield thereby draining  New Mobotropolis of it’s power and bringing it’s automated defenses down. 
But first he has to get through Sonic, Monkey Khan, and Amadeus Prower.
Tumblr media
 If you remember from the Home arc, the fort guarding Robotropolis was Armand’s last command post before he died. And I kind of love this idea that literally everyone loved Armand. That regardless of what political sides they wound up on or what disagreements they might of had, no one had a bad thing to say about him. That Max and Amadeus were both his best friends right up until his death. Kind of telling that the revolution didn’t start until after he had pasted away.
Also on a side note, I’ve been reassessing my opinion of Amadeus recently. Before I had just lumped him in with Rosemary and kind of conflated her actions with his and that’s not really fair. Don’t get me wrong Rosemary is still a horrible person who could die in a fire for all I care, but re-reading through the series again I’ve notice that Amadeus is a pretty decent dude. He’s no Armand, or Jules, or even a Wynmacher but he is still genuine in his beliefs, makes actual good points concerning his grievances towards the crown, and is actually there for and supportive of his son. 
Tumblr media
Good job Amadeus you manage to be better then Max, Locke, or even your wife. Not that that’s hard but given this book I’ll take it. 
But enough waffling about let’s get back to our main characters. 
While the above mentioned characters are off saving the day Sally drops in to visit Bunnie and Ant. 
Tumblr media
*squee!* We get to see their home! And it’s clear that Bunnie is the interior decorator. I can’t say the Southwestern thing is my style but I do love that awesome dreamcatcher. This is the only room we actually see though so it’s possible Ant got a say elsewhere. Like perhaps the is bedroom in a Rococo style? While you know damn well he’s the one who organized the kitchen even if Bunnie may have picked out the silverware.    
Also fan theory confirmed  Bunnie is clearly reading a gossip/fashion magazine while recovering. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cuuuute! And it’s shows that yes there are little things about Ant, like his over-protectiveness, that annoy Bunnie, but she knows it comes from a place of love so she can’t get mad about it. Which is just sweet. 
Tumblr media
Fucking thank you! Finally we get some female friendship moments in the comic! As much as I love Bunnie and Ant’s relationship it often comes at the expense of their other relationships and they both could stand to be integrated into the rest of the cast more. 
But the other problem here is the Sally doesn’t have enough of a support system. Part of this is her own fault for not opening up to others easily, part of it Max’s abuse cutting her off from her friends, but a good chunk of it is the writers just forgetting that the characters have friendships and lives outside of Sonic and romances. 
Also small confession; this is one of the main reasons why I don’t support Sallicole in the reboot. Neither Sally nor Nicole have any other close relationships with any of the other female characters post-reboot. Why should I have to sacrifice my w/w solidarity in order to see LGBT representation? Why can’t I have both? Why can’t the comic show Sally as Bunnie or Amy’s BFF and let Nicole talk to someone else for a change?
And this a frustration I have in much of the media I consume simply because there’s not enough female characters. Far too often any given show, movie, book or what-have-you will only feature two main girls and if you happen to ship those two together you can say bye-bye to any female friendships. Like please just add more women into stories for fucks sake. 
Anyways enough getting sidetracked, the whole reason Sally is here is to ask for relationship advice since a.) Bunnie is her BFF and b) Bunnie and Ant are like the only friends she knows with a successful love life. I honestly think the only other couples not torn to shreds right now are Knuckles/Julie-Su and Elias/Meg. 
Tumblr media
But who is Sally crushing on you may ask? 
Monkey Khan. 
Yeah seriously. Up til now it’s been so subtle and shoved into the background that this story almost feels out of nowhere. Maybe if Flynn had actually committed to following through with it, I might be more favorable to the pairing, but after this tease it doesn’t really go anywhere and they’re right back to teasing Sonally again. Even though the Sega mandates had forbidden their love by this point. 
Also Bunnie, what do you actually know about dating? Antoine is the only person you’ve ever seriously been with and the “break up” with him wasn’t even a real. To which you’re response was to mope about and the try and make him jealous by flirting with Sonic. Not what you'd really call dating around. 
I love you both but, honey you and Antoine seriously lucked out on the whole finding your soulmate thing really early in life. 
Tumblr media
Anyways Bunnie proceeds to describe Sally’s “type” while juxtaposed with scenes of Sonic and Ken fighting. Highlighting just how much of a rebound guy Khan really is. He’s a substitute Sonic in this relationship and you know that’s just a disservice to all parties involved.  
To Monkey Khan because he deserves better then to be yet another a sonic clone and this undermines a lot of development Flynn had given him recently. 
To Sally because she deserves more then to be saddled with yet another dead end relationship that only ends because of the powers that be decided to fuck with her character. 
And to Sonic, who deserves to be more then a prop for love triangles just cause he’s the title character and Sega has a bunch of stupid mandates. 
Tumblr media
Still, at least there’s more honest communication going on with this triangle then the ones that came before and I appreciate this talk with Bunnie even if I don’t like the circumstances that brought it about.   
Tumblr media
Also this is the best advice Bunnie has given her during this whole scene because it’s born from actual experience. How many years did she crush on Ant before admitting she liked him, three? If you want something then take a chance. You may not get it but if you don’t try how will you ever know? 
In conclusion Sonic and Ken trick the Iron King, Sally asks Khan out, and we get a wired ship tease of Sonamy. Flynn does remember that she’s only 12 right? 
Tumblr media
Oh well they are actual friends here so you could take this as platonic. 
Next time on the retrospective we finally get to the invasion proper.

Hello, I love your way of writing your fanfics in the matter of Amy and Sonic. Lately I have seen a video about denying what was something of Sonic's fandom, and seeing a comment and its chains I have seen so much negativity on the ship. How: "Missing and belies the SonAmy" And then continued: "SonAmy doesn't exist in games or comics." "Just by playing the games that shit is already denied." What do you think about this, miss Mayra?
Thank you! :D
Tumblr media
There will always be negativity. Everyone has so many opinions, but I love that the world can still form friendships even with different tastes and preferences!
I have not seen any of that but according to my research the main officials, company, games, and most -owned- media do reflect that there was meant and always was a bond of somekind between the two.
Officially speaking, Amy always chases Sonic but he’s too young and uninterested in anything to do with romantic intent. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the potential to, it just means he’s 15 and heads to the next adventure more so than the ‘domestic’ storytelling or storyline.
Here are some links about this very topic!
(x) Evidence of Advertisement.
(x) Moments within Games and-
(x) The differences in Japanese and English Sonamy portrayals.
(x) Cultural interpretations of Sonamy.
(x) The Star Rule (Still have yet to find where I read this… sadly T-T)
(x) Script: (x) Characterizations and ideas for creating Amy Rose by her creator.
(x) More research with facts and my interpretations and explanations of them.
(x) (x) Just more I found, there’s too many, okay!?
Okay, there were a lot of links so I hope I got the best ones!
There’s a lot I’ve done lol, please be satisfied with this list for now! You can search my blog for more if you’d like :)b
Now I’m not perfect but these are things to help separate the fact from the fiction. I know SEGA is growing and shifting to make themselves new and competitive, so I only hope the future is bright! But as long as we fans hold ourselves respectfully and not go crazy or anything, we should be able to show them it’s a good marketable direction for the series. (If done well and within character–we want the growth to be natural, not forced–then it should be okay :)b) Just always strive to be sensible! lol If we have a good image, it won’t be looked down upon so much.
If I must give some advice, which I’m a pretty peaceful person, is that you shouldn’t fight hate with fire. These people usually want a fight and have prepared things to counter you. If you ignore them, they get bored and go to a fandom they think is more combative. Some people get a high out of making others upset, so don’t fall for those baits.
The best way to help Sonamy is to professionally introduce your passions in positive ways. Support by commenting good and wholesome things, like content with Amy in it, buy Amy merchandise, and add your unique talents in non-confrontational or hostile ways. Be smart in how you talk about things, and discuss rather than argue. Marketing ploys–eh, more like their strategy– consists of seeing what’s selling well or getting the most attention. If that attention is negative but high popularity results, it’s noted as bad publicity. If you have attention that is positive and high in popularity, they then start to find ways to build that momentum and get higher ratings or in this case, marketable profit from it.
Shipping is already free advertising, but it has a bad name for itself. The Sonic fandom is actually full of wonderful and creative people. I’ve made many friends through it! If we present ourselves in ways that influence marketing in subtle and cute ways (Such as with Twitter’s Sonic Takeover where Sonamy Questions were answered in light-hearted but cute hinting moments) then our reputation will start to increase as ‘not psychotic’ or ‘childish’ but actually as something that can be beneficial to the brand.
I won’t go into detail about this, because I’m honestly someone who is cautious with what I say online (I used to not be, but I’ve had character development since then lolol) so in my humble opinion, be smart as you love and advertise your joy in something. Every little bit of changing the atmosphere or reputation counts, but so does the opposing side. So make sure you don’t fight, but keep posting wonderful fanart or fanfiction or whatever else you like to do but make sure it’s in a positive light.
I love you all so much! Let’s root for a better perceptive on romance in video game media that is appropriate for its characters and audiences! (I like the idea that Sonic doesn’t know his feelings cause he hasn’t explored them but there is a soft side for Amy. Likewise, him reacting positively to Amy or being impressed/touched by her strength and loyalty at times would be helpful too. Amy could be more universally ‘cute’ in a sense so that both Japanese and American audiences are satisfied without changing her character too much or drastically. There are so many ways to take this discussion and where the characters could end up but it’s honestly a choice we don’t get to make, only help influence in our positive approaches to the fandom ship :)b)

Hi I'm really enjoying ready a lot of your prompts. I'm not sure if you have answered something similar before but my question to you is if you could explain why do you think Amy is in love with Sonic and possibly why do you think Sonic 'might' like Amy in return. Thank you so much and I really appreciate it if you could answer these questions.
I would love too! It’s been a long while, so I might as well collect ‘new evidence’ right? :)b Also, thank you so much! I’m sorry everything is on shutdown (except Commissions! Rules link: x Pay link: x ) but I’m always excited to write a prompt when I get around to it! lol
Tumblr media
Let’s start with the beginning. According to her creator, Amy was made with many “Fingers in the pot” and one of the main traits he mentioned was that he wanted Amy to be cute and have her focus set on Sonic. Since Sonic is always moving towards the next adventure, not really focused on anything else, he needed someone who would be completely concentrated on him. In Japanese culture, devotion/loyalty is an endearing characteristic, and it’s clear that Amy exhibits a sole fidelity to Sonic. This was intentional but perhaps mistranslated when interrupted by American culture.
Rosy the Rascal was meant to, based on fan speculation, set up the world’s perception of Sonic. He was famous for his heroic deeds, but in Sonic Adventure, we learn that he never considered himself a hero. He tells Shadow he’s just a guy who loves adventure, and according to the Canon Timeline, Amy was the first ‘friend’ Sonic ever had. His first ‘saving the damsel’ act, that defined a hero (especially in those time periods) was set up by him saving Classic Amy Rose.
She, therefore, has a small backstory explaining how she admired his heroism, used Tarot Cards to find out where to meet her ‘destined’ and was soon kidnapped and rescued by him. This only solidified her feelings for him, showing that not only did Sonic have a fan, but now he had a devoted self-proclaimed girlfriend in the process as well.
It was important that Amy was ‘self-proclaimed’ because besides being ‘shy’, Sonic is also not one to demonstrate a lot of emotion. This correlates with the ‘cool’ image that is reflective of Japanese young heroes. So, Amy set up that Sonic was a popularly recognized hero and even had fans, but she also revealed that most found Sonic attractive in his deeds and personality. “He’s so cool!” kind of stereotype. But besides being a rising star, Amy fell in love with him for his good deeds and risking so much to save her.
This is stage 1, let’s move on through the timeline.
As Amy kept reappearing (after Sonic met and befriended Tails and even Knuckles) she asserted herself into his circle to be closer to him. She gained a new strength, the Piko Piko Hammer and drew new expressions out of Sonic that normally wouldn’t have been seen before. Because Sonic doesn’t show many personal emotions, Amy has emotion enough to spare between the both of them. It’s relevant that this behavior, common in Japanese anime stereotypes, is frowned upon in the American fandom, but it’s actually praised and regarded with admiration in the Japanese fandom.
Another Sonic official on Twitter stated that if Sonic didn’t have a boy’s heart(A.K.A, wasn’t a young boy), he would probably choose Amy. I believe that’s because “The one who stays in the race, finishes the race” is true in this regard. Because Amy chases Sonic (A healthy part of any romance) she is constantly there (In sight, in mind.). So it’s safe to say one of the reasons Sonic could be more fond of her than he lets on is because he recognizes that she’s always there. She won’t abandon him nor her feelings for him. This level of devotion is praised in Japanese culture, and I would imagine he reciprocates this.
Tumblr media
He rewards her efforts for this loyalty time and time again. Not only by saving her, but by also allowing her to do as she pleases. He never really goes against her. He never fights back with her. In fact, in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 battle, directly resulting after the Classic Era, it shows Sonic’s consideration for her feelings.
“Amy…. Take care of yourself.” In the Japanese version, Sonic pauses a considerable amount of time as Amy expresses the horror of his supposed sacrifice to protect her. He gives her one last cool pose, preparing for whatever may come, and reveals that in his heart–he felt it was his job to take care of her.
This correlates with Classic Sonic’s feelings, although not fully expressed in words and mostly done through deeds.
Amy’s feelings only grow stronger after this point, resulting in her being even more forward about wanting to marry Sonic, as it is her way of saying she’ll be his forever, and love him for all eternity. It is stated by SEGA that Amy can never get over Sonic, there will never be a ‘another love interest’, though they have explored Sonic being charming to other girls. Due to his already stated ‘attractiveness’ because of his heroic deeds, many girls have swooned over Sonic, and he’s treated this with patience and a heroic smile. He comforts girls, but he always returns to Amy’s side. Why is this? You may say, “Well, it’s because you just said she’s devoted to him, so he’s returning the gesture.” Well, you’re half-right, but it’s only half the tale.
In later additions, Sonic is shown to also get exasperated with Amy’s overly energetic flirtations with him. It’s actually more an anime stereotype once again, where the boy is embarrassed by the girl’s forwardness. In Japanese culture, the demure girl is praised as the most attractive quality for a woman. Amy is the stereotypical opposite, due to Sonic’s aloof nature, she has to be bold in her declarations of love for him. You can see the ‘demure’ type of girl found in Cosmo, Vanilla, Elise, Shahra, and even some in Blaze. Rouge is the stereotypical ‘older matured woman’ to put it lightly, but Amy is the energetic girl in anime stereotypes, bold and quick to anger or at times bossy.
In a Japanese translated bio online, Amy is stated to ‘cheerfully embarrass men’ which is shown in many incidents in Sonic X and the video games. In this regard, we could deduce that Sonic silently enjoys the praise as well as reciprocates her devotion. She loves him because he won’t hesitate to do what’s right (Heroism) and always follows his heart (cool and willful personality) while Sonic stays relatively close (in spirit) and is always devoted to protecting or being there for her.
Tumblr media
These are the biggest traits that define Sonic and Amy’s feelings for each other. Mostly demonstrated in Sonic X, we see Sonic returning home to Amy, their telepathy ability when Amy is thinking hard about Sonic, and revealing that Sonic was thinking solely about rescuing her. We also see it in Sonic saving Amy from drowning, and Amy diving in to save him from the Metarex. There is also stated attraction on Sonic’s end for Amy during the ‘dress’ scene (But Amy is canonally stated to be a ‘pretty girl’, which is subtly expressed in the Video Games as well. Silver stating this world is beautiful, but pausing to blush and look away when Amy tilts her head while the sun highlights her is just an example. Sonic flirting with The Lady of the Lake and having a date with Amy is another example from Sonic’s POV.)
So, to conclude this little essay, I’ll say that the real answer is- “Sonic returns to Amy because she’s his perfect match. Her devotion is of course included in the mix, but it’s also because she expresses her feelings for him so openly, it’s touching how she’ll risk everything for him and he would willingly do the same.” They both care so much in such different ways, and the different ways they express it is perfect for how the other wants to be loved. Sonic doesn’t always like the forward attention, but he appreciates that he never has to question her devotion to him. Amy loves Sonic because although he’s shy, he finds ways to still show he cares deeply about her.
Although these two are still very much children, they have a foundation of mutual fidelity and trust that can’t be broken. (Sonic won’t destroy Omega, Sonic protectively defends Amy against Jet, and Sonic accepts Amy’s bracelet for him, A.K.A shows he accepts her feelings for him.)
Many in the fandom argue that Sonic can be inconsiderate of Amy’s feelings, which is true. He’s still a young boy and makes mistakes, but there is supportive evidence to suggest he does this in the presence of Eggman or others. I also support the theory that he doesn’t want her to get hurt because of him, so he keeps his distance during crowds, but as it is often player choice, he also goes on dates off and on with her from time to time.
In conclusion, these are just some things that result in Amy’s love and Sonic’s crushing. I say ‘crushing’ because Sonic isn’t quite fully there yet. He’s devoted but rarely speaks his honest opinion of her.
Even Omochao states in Sonic and Mario Winter Olympic’s: “No one knows if Amy is or isn’t Sonic’s girlfriend or not.” He never tells. Could this be because of his fear of her getting hurt by his enemies? Or his shyness? Possibly the fact that he never does say how he thinks about Amy?
Ever notice that?
But he constantly thanks Amy, and I think that subtle, “Thanks, Amy. I appreciate it.” Is honest. It may not be “I love you” but it’s something along those lines. Amy’s “Marry me!” Is her way of saying it, but moreover, what she wants to say is– “I don’t want to give you an ultimatum, because how you live your life is wonderful! But at least let me and my love for you be a part of it!” Which I believe he does return in full freedom of allowing her to love him in the way that suits her best.
He may refuse her advances, but he never has refused her heart.
She may not like it when he doesn’t consider her feelings, but she will always believe in him.
This is what I believe Sonamy is today.
There is plenty more, but I believe this is what needs to be stated, and perhaps this is too long already, so that’s how I’ll leave it for now ;) Thanks for the ask!

Sonamy Prompt - Flowers
Tumblr media
(x)
Amy started receiving flowers anonymously; being placed at her door step.
Walking home one day from the city, carrying her grocery bag, she noticed extra flowers and blinked her eyes curiously at them.
“..H-huh?” she then looked up, her mouth dropping as there seemed to be a trail of flowers this time.
“W-wow!” she dropped her bags, hearts in her eyes as she placed her fists up to her face, totally swooning over this kind gesture. “What on earth could Sonic be planning this time!?”
Her mind trailed off as she stuck her tongue out and up and made a goofy expression, having a thought bubble that showed Sonic laying out, stretched across the ground.
A rose in his mouth, and his eyelids drooped, he winked and motioned with a finger for her to come to him.
She leaned her body back on one leg, gripping the wooden bar that supported holding her patio’s outdoor roof.
She then shook her head from all the hearts floating around her and patted her cheeks, snapping out of it. “I’m coming, Sonic!” she raced down to follow the path, the groceries still lay scattered at her door.
Following the trail, she suddenly came to another small flower shop on the outskirts of the countryside, and peeked into the window.
Blinking, she wasn’t sure what this meant, and walked in, having the bell ding as she did so.
“Oh, why hello there. Come right in.” A white haired, droopy mustache man, much shorter than Eggman’s, was cleaning up a flower glass before setting it and the rag down, moving to the counter.
He rested his arms up on the counter and looked down to her, speaking kindly, as she couldn’t tell if he was smiling, due to his mustache.
“My, another hedgehog. Flowers sure are special to you folk.”
“S-sir… did another hedgehog come in just now?”
“Why certainly. Had a bit of the lovebug in his eye, and sniffed each flower. Didn’t even bother with meanings or prices. Just seemed to want a striking one that would catch a lady’s eye. Lucky girl, though. He’s been coming by almost every day to grab a flower for the little miss’s.”
He looked up and stared out the window.
“Today he left with a whole bouquet of flowers, but the second I saw him speed off, I knew they wouldn’t make it. Left a whole trail of petals behind. Em-emm…” he shook his head, holding it downward now. “Such a waste.” he seemed to pity the boy. “Silly boy. Just like flowers, women need to be handled delicately, and with a steady hand that they can trust will nurture and care for them. Hmm?” He looked up, hearing suddenly some sniffling.
Amy’s face was full on crying, her eyes big and shaky as her irises danced with her teary feelings.
“He did whhhaat?” she whined out, deeply touched.
“Oh my, miss! Don’t tell me that young man was picking those flowers out for you, now!” the man leaned up, holding his hands straight out.
“Well, now… I can see what’s made him so jittery! Heh, heh, heh.” he laughed a crackled old man’s charming chuckle, and then nodded to her. “You sure are pretty. No wonder he’s been so active trying to win your fancies. Hmm…” the man put a hand up to his chin, the other under to support the arm. “I think I got it.”
He walked away from the counter, and lightly touched some flowers on the shelf, before finding the one he was looking for, and showing it to her.
She followed him, drying her eyes and wiping them with her gloved wrist, just above the ring bracelets, before moving to her palm to do so.
“Miss?” he turned to hand her the flower.
She looked up, and nodded, taking it.
“Do you know what Pink Roses mean?”
“Regrettably not.” she admitted, eyebrows arching back softly.
“ Pink carries with it the connotation of grace and elegance, as well as sweetness and poetic romance. Light pink roses are associated with gentleness and admiration, and can also be used as an expression of sympathy.” he nodded in his explanation, his old man hunch forced his hands behind his back now, and he started to wander around his shop as she stared down at the beautiful flowers.
Her eyes continued to shake in amazement, but not so animated as before.
She hadn’t even told him her last name was Rose!
“Just like flowers, women carry special meanings for men too. When a man notices and most importantly, understands that special meaning, he goes out of his way to express gratitude for her in anyway he feels he can.” he lovingly and wisely looked to another flower, before turning back to Amy.
“He picks flowers for their unique look and smell. I think that may mean that he values his times with you. And possibly the good you do for him in his life. A man who notices smell can easily be said that he loves the company of the one he cares for. And as for look, well, that’s obvious. You, just like these flowers, are beautiful creatures. I’m sure he’s just head deep in gratitude for ya, Miss.” he looked off towards the higher shelves of flowers, before back down at Amy.
“Well, is there anything I can do for you now, miss hedgehog?”
“N-no… I think you’ve been more than helpful!” Amy chimed, overcome with her emotions, as tears gently piled up on the sides of her eyes.
“Haha, well then. My work here is done. Take care now, miss hedgehog.” he lightly bowed to her.
“Y-you too, mr. flower man!” she waved excitedly to him as she exited.
He seemed to be pretty neutral at her departure, before turning around and rubbing his hands together.
“Shooo-wee! That was a close one! You can come out now!”
Sonic suddenly sprung from being crammed into a higher shelf.
He sighed, stretching his arms and legs out. “I owe you one.”
“Hehehe. I told you not to second guess yourself. When I said bring her some more flowers, I didn’t think you’d change your mind so fast. Well, that suits you though, don’t it? Fast feet. Fast thinking. Fast regret.” he shifted his eyes on that last one.
“Urk.” Sonic twitched a little at his words, and blinked up vulnerably. “More than one flower would have come off funny…”
“You think that’s weird?” The man blinked his squinted eyes widely, before reverting them back to old man lines. “Hiding in the blue tulips like a squashed banana is weird. Why not just tell her how you feel..?”
“W-what!?” Sonic sprang back, “I told you! It’s gratitude!” he slightly shouted, raising a fist up, trying to defend himself more.
“Pfft. And that’s what I told her, but you don’t see me trying to defend no lovers, em-emm. I’m only saying. Even if she ain’t your Juliet, a rose by any other name would still smell just as sweet, eh? You call her friend, but I think the word has changed meanings when you talk about her. I sure do.” he raised an eyebrow, before nodding his head. He truly believed he spotted the signs of love in Sonic’s actions.
Sonic dusted the petals out of his quills and averted his eyes, looking annoyed and upset by these questions.
“Weeeell, who am I to question you. Do as you see fit to please you. I’ll just be at my little shop here, doing my business as usual.” he nodded politely to Sonic, showing he was dropping the topic, and turned to the counter.
Sonic looked sorry as he his eyes back towards him, but kept his head away from him seeing his regretful expression.
“I suppose I can understand your silence on the matter.” he placed his hand on the table. “After all… that girl sure is pretty. Heh-heh!”
“That’s not it!” Sonic spun around before realizing he had been duped and folded his arms, pouting and looking away as the old man laughed at him.
“Stay on your toes, Sonic! I’ll get it out of ya! One way, or another. That miss’s ought to settle it straight, one of these days. heh-heh-heh-heh.”
FIN
(OMG I LOVED THIS! THAT OLD MAN THO~<3)
(Sorry, I couldn’t help but re-post this XD)
