Everyone involved in this awesome show deserves a raise and a pat on the back.

Netflix is being a pain

I've been trying to get Netflix to work for DAYS now and it's being stubborn! OF COURSE it just so happens to get all messed up the day Sonic Prime Season 3 comes out. I AM SO PISSED AT NETFLIX RIGHT NOW. YOU CANNOT KEEP SONIC PRIME FROM ME AND STILL CHARGE ME $6.99 A MONTH! GODDAMNIT!!!

"To Shadow and Sonic, do you hate each other?"

I've been thinking about the response the Sonic team gave to this answer SO MUCH and I just can't help but wonder about the implications of it.

They immediately turn it into a "Does Shadow hate Sonic" question and completely ignore the fact that Sonic is supposed to answer wether or not he hates Shadow too. I'm guessing the original intention was to imply that Sonic can't possibly hate Shadow because Sonic doesn't hate anyone, but I don't think that fits his character. (Or maybe they didn't want to encourage any Sonadow shippers, the fuck do I know?) All I can think of is how everyone else goes along with the notion that Sonic doesn't have to answer the question because whatever his answer would be should be obvious...

And that makes me have so many headcannons...

All of the angsty misunderstandings! I can easily see Shadow interpreting Sonic's refusal to answer as Sonic obviously hating him but not wanting to say it. Sonic does tend to say unintentionally hurtful things at times. (And in the IDW universe Sonic literally implies that Shadow IS AS BAD AS EGGMAN TO SHADOW'S FACE.) It would explain why Shadow is so ready to throw insults of his own at Sonic. Meanwhile, Sonic, not reading the room because he is neurodivergent as fuck, just refuses to answer because why should he when the answer is "obvious". Now THAT is an angsty ship dynamic I can get behind: character A likes character B but is so bad at communicating that they unintentionally make character B think that they hate them. It's so fuckin sad and also kind of hilarious.

Summary of the angst:

Sonic: *I don't need to answer the question because it's obvious to everyone that I don't hate you and I'm not brave enough to admit that I like you yet.*

Shadow: *He doesn't need to answer the question because he has made it pretty clear in the past just how much he hates me.*

Here have some pics about it:

Anyone who's had a cat can relate lol

If the only way you know how to write conflict into your romance story is to have the romantic leads be unfaithful and just overall shitty to each other, then you are not a very creative writer. Stories about healthy relationships devoid of cheating does not automatically make them boring stories. And vise versa! Just because your characters are running around treating each other badly does not automatically make your story complex. At the end of the day it all comes down to the writing of the story itself. I'd take a well written story about a couple who actually put in the work to fix their relationship rather than betray one another over a shallow story about selfish cheaters. By all means like what you like, but please stop trying to gaslight the rest of us into thinking that romance stories HAVE to be shitty in order to be "complex".

"i hate love triangles" "i hate cheating" "stop writing about love triangles and cheating" people write about love triangles and cheating because complex emotions and romantic conflict are deeply compelling themes. get good.

OH FUCK E-123 OMEGA BIRTHDAY TODAY
