I love flawed, morally dubious characters who don't realize when they're in the wrong, and have complex, multi-layered, messy romantic and sexual relationships where they make mistakes, have miscommunications, prioritize their feelings over their partner's sometimes, and accidentally or even intentionally hurt people they love.

"We're together in every universe" this "we'll always find eachother" that. What about this is the only universe that we're together in. What about there is no other way this could have worked. What about this is the only place that we have found each other. And goddamn it if we aren't going to make the most of it.

My favourite type of dynamic in fiction is two characters worried for each other after something traumatic happens

It's the "Are you hurt are you okay?!" TO "I'm fine but are you okay?!" with the touching each other faces and checking if they have any injuries or worse

Bonus points if they're putting their foreheads against each other after knowing the other is alright

color dynamics

so obviously we've got the red/blue dynamic

Like renga and klance and all that good stuff which works because they're polar opposites of each other. (Edit: FORGOT CAITVI)

There's also the black orange dynamic

Like kagehina and sasunaru and to an extent, shatt (yes that is their actual ship name) which is almost ALWAYS rivals (ANOTHER EDIT FORGOT RAYEMMA)

And then a personal fav of red/green

Like LadyNoir, Zolu, and matchablossom.

Like idk color theory or science or shit but THERES GOTTA BE A PATTERN HERE. why is red and blue sometimes so good, and sometimes red and green? I do not know.

EDITING THIS CAUSE THE AMAZING @astriddestelle CALLED ME OUT!!

Pink and black is also a fan favorite featuring itafushi, sasusaku, and whatever that ship is called

Blue Lock is a true gift for all rivals to lovers trope enjoyers.

Everyone is the rival there. EVERYONE.

Are they on one team? That doesn't mean they've stopped being rivals.

Oh, are they friends? Don't worry, in the next chapter/episode, they'll be rivals.

And we, hopeless shippers, just let ourselves be killed by the tension between the characters.

And we endlessly dream of our rivals becoming lovers.

#thank God for the fanfics and fanarts that make my dreams of rivals becoming lovers come true #i love good tension between characters so much and blue lock gives me that in large does #nagireo #reonagi #bachisagi #rinsagi #kaisagi #kunigiri #reosagi #bachirin #ryusae #just every ship from blue lock #rivals to lovers #shipping dynamics #shipping #blue lock #bllk

Some ship dynamics that have me by the throat:

🔮 A is nocturnal and B is an insomniac

💫 bonus if B suffers from nightmares

🔮 A is the one always getting hurt and B the one doing the harm (unintentionally of course)

💫 B always over apologizes

💫 A is used to it by now

🔮 A: “Get behind me…” B: *gets*

💫 Mmmm big protec

💫 Bonus if A is already hurt/has a cool weapon

🔮 A gets in disguise to get close to B when they are really not supposed to.

💫 A manages to convince everyone EXCEPT B WHO CATCHES ON IMMEDIATELY

💫 B keeps getting distracted by whatever A is up to

What Is the Appeal of Sonadow?

I have a lot of thoughts about this ship, what draws people to it, and why some of the criticisms of it are exaggerated or less than honest. Putting them under a cut because it’s gonna get long.

First of all, the critique of “Lol why do people ship them when they beat the shit out of each other whenever they disagree on something, they’re abusive!” is dishonest framing for two reasons. One is that it ignores the fact that Sonic and Shadow are allies far more often than they’re enemies, and even when they are enemies, it’s usually over something serious, not just a minor disagreement. The other is that it’s bad media criticism to apply real human standards to a cartoon animal universe.

When you watch the classic Looney Tunes short where Bugs and Daffy are arguing over whether it’s Rabbit Season or Duck Season and Bugs tricks Daffy into shooting himself, do you see Bugs as abusive and evil? Probably not, because the laws of physics don’t apply in cartoons and Daffy getting shot in the face doesn’t actually hurt him. He’s still completely fine afterwards because he’s a cartoon and is therefore invincible. The same is true for Sonic and Shadow. Have you ever seen either of them seriously injured after one of their fights? Has either one ever needed to go to the hospital because the other beat him up so badly? No, of course not. They groan in pain for about two seconds and then they’re fine. If the creators wanted to convey them being injured, they could show bruises or blood or have bones snapping and the characters limping, but they don’t. The fights are never meant to be taken that seriously. I find this criticism every bit as annoying and overzealous as people who insist that Pinky and the Brain are abusive because Brain bops Pinky on the head. They’re cartoons, y’all. They’re not realistic, were never meant to be realistic, and shouldn’t be treated as realistic. Different standards apply.

To the second point, Sonic and Shadow don’t actually fight that often. In all the interactions they’ve had together, it’s only been a handful of times. They’re allies in the Archie comics, Sonic ‘06, the canon ending of Shadow the Hedgehog (they’re only enemies in that game if the player wants them to be), Sonic Forces, Team Sonic Racing, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, and most of the IDW comics, along with the endings of Sonic X, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Heroes. They’re allies for much of Prime as well. But hey, let’s break down the times they do fight:

Sonic Adventure 2: Shadow’s memories have been tampered with and he and Sonic are literally fighting over the fate of the world.

Sonic X: Same thing for season 2, and in season 3, they’re fighting over whether Cosmo should live or die. Sonic says killing her is wrong, Shadow says stopping the Metarex is what’s most important and if that means little Cosmo has to die, well, them’s the breaks, pal.

Sonic Prime: Sonic has broken their world, Shadow is trying desperately to save it, and Sonic is valuing the Shatterverse inhabitants over Green Hill.

IDW: Shadow says Eggman is too dangerous to leave alive and if that means Mr. Tinker has to die too, well, them’s the breaks, pal. Sonic says killing anyone is wrong no matter the reason.

You see a pattern here? Most of the time what they fight over is literally life and death. They’re not going at each other’s throats over petty bullshit like who gets the last slice of pizza or who gets to pick the film for Movie Night. They fight over serious moral differences. I would argue that Amy and Knuckles have gotten angry at Sonic for way less than what Shadow does.

Now, there are a few instances where their fights are stupid, namely Sonic Boom and Sonic Heroes. But I think it’s pretty universally agreed that Shadow is out of character in Boom, and honestly, all of the fights in Sonic Heroes are very forced. There was no reason for Team Dark or Team Rose to fight Team Chaotix; their goals don’t contradict each other in any way and it’s clearly just manufactured conflict to give the player another boss fight. And these are the exception; most of their fights are over serious ideological divides.

Those serious ideological divides are exactly what makes Sonadow so interesting. I personally prefer ships where characters can learn and grow from each other, where their differences can clash until they learn to reconcile them. I don’t find a ship like, say, Sonamy nearly as interesting because I don’t think there’s many (if any) moral stances Sonic would have that Amy wouldn’t. They already agree on the important things. I’m not bashing anyone who likes that ship; if that’s your thing, good for you. It just doesn’t appeal to me because I think Sonic and Amy already having a lot in common morally means they can’t really grow and change from interacting with each other in the same way.

Sonic can bring out the best in Shadow, teach him to trust others and lighten up and learn how to live in the moment rather than being tethered to the past. Shadow can teach Sonic how to think before he acts, to view the world more realistically, and to consider the impact that his insistence on moral purity will have on others. That setup makes for some amazing stories.

Also? These guys love fighting each other. They’re both athletes and very competitive. Look at how much they smile when they fight:

Like…they love this. It’s so much fun for them. Sonic and Shadow are both competitive athletes who love pushing themselves, but in terms of speed, no one is any competition for them except each other. No one else can beat either of them in a race. Imagine spending your whole life winning so easily that there was no accomplishment in it, and then suddenly this guy comes along who’s actually as good as you or maybe even better. Finally you have a challenge and can really enjoy the feeling of being the best. That’d be amazing. They give each other something no one else can, and to me, that’s what good romances are made of.

And all of that is combined with the fact that Sonadow offers an Odd Couple setup, which is always fertile ground for fun, comedic situations that require opposite characters to work together. Plus the Enemies/Rivals to Lovers aspect, which adds a bit of “forbidden fruit” to the mix because we all know that the most tempting and appealing relationships are the ones that are Forbidden (TM). That’s literally the premise of Romeo and Juliet, people who aren’t supposed to be together but end up wanting to be anyway.

I wouldn’t want Sonadow to be canon, but I definitely enjoy exploring it in fandom. It’s a fun ship that offers a lot for a writer or artist to work with. And while I would never force it on anyone, I wish the criticisms of it weren’t quite so shallow and disingenuous.
