ive been re-reading the sonic idw comics and this is my main takeaway

Happy Holidays ❄️🎄

you have no understanding of sonic (the character), Amy, or sonic (the series) if you genuinely believe this. Sonic the series is full of characters with story arcs about being true to themselves. Amy is a big proponent of being a character with her heart on her sleeve. a song within her introductory game is literally called “believe in yourself”. also sonic and knuckles will fight each other all the time Amy hitting sonic isn’t a big deal.

they like to play!

The weather's clearing up, get out there and sieze the day!

Happy November!

gimme knuckles preferring to sleep on hard surfaces. he's used to sleeping right next to the emerald on its shrine. friends drag him somewhere on a nice soft bed and hes. SO uncomfortable. give him a personal slab of concrete to lie on LOL

I like to think Shadow has service animal training/was engineered to be something of a service animal. And this trait of his is second nature to him now, casually detecting when his friends don’t feel well before they do

begging and pleading with you to understand that knuckles being reduced to a tribal warrior on a vengeance quest instead of a very lonely guardian who has a complicated relationship with his ancestry and his duty through which he finds his identity but still feels jealous of others who have more freedom than he will ever allow himself in NOT BETTER WRITING

the ideal fandom experience is one circle filled with fanon haters who post bangin analysis and fanworks and whatnot (to keep you pretentious), and one circle filled with normal people who enjoy the thing and like the fanon (to keep you humble)

Do they bite?

Sonic: will bite if asked! otherwise doesn't get much mileage out of it personally

Tails: bitey. chews on pencils and pens and tablet styluses. has bit a badnik before. will continue to do so as long as he has baby teeth privileges.

Knuckles: raised by a magical space rock that taught him better forms of diplomacy. namely diplomacy with his fists, which are much less fragile. will nip at friends though.

Amy: absolutely not! she's no animal! people don't like biters. people don't like girls who bite. people don't like girls who bite. so she doesn't bite.

Shadow: Absolutely not. He's no animal. Scientists don't like biters. Scientists don't like weapons who bite. Sisters and Grandfathers don't like weapons who bite. so he doesn't bite.

Rouge: will bite if asked! otherwise prefers her "bite" to be more metaphorical.

Omega: yes. does not matter that he does not possess a mouth. the spirit is there and it is willing.

Cream: no!! biting isn't proper. mom taught better. chews on her fingernails and inside her cheeks though. doesn't know why she does it.

Vanilla: is the mom who taught better. chews discreetly and quietly on a piece of wood whenever stressed. hoping that cream doesn't imitate her. people don't like biters.

Big: not interested in biting unless it's the fish biting. or biting into a fish. both are good.

Vector: yes, often. one of his main weapons actually. unlike most of the roster, regrows his teeth fast. can and will bite a badnik again. too bad they taste terrible.

Espio: ninjas don't bite. he is a ninja. transitive property at work. (even if he did try to imitate Vector for a phase when he was younger.)

Charmy: BITER

Silver: knows just how valuable teeth are, won't waste them on ordinary combat encounters. will bite if you try to steal his food. don't ask Sonic how he learned this.

Blaze: bitey when she was little, absolutely mortified by the thought of anyone learning this. but hey, it's hard to express your boundaries otherwise when your hands are bound in fireproof material, so she should cut herself some slack.

Eggman: no? what, who do you think he is? don't you dare think that the animals are rubbing off on him!

The only correct characterization imho

Tails' gizmos

Real people aren't made out of wires, silly.
