I dislike it when people act like Amy's writing has always been good and she's never been obsessed with sonic, when in cases like Battle and Advance 3 she is written to be an obsessed fangirl that pressures Sonic and makes him uncomfortable

when discussing whether amy is a poorly written character or not there are two extremes that people tend to jump to which is either "amy has never been poorly written" or "amy has always been poorly written" when in reality its more nuanced than that i think. because yeah she IS more than a sonic fangirl. shes always had separate personality traits and interests. but also. there ARE certain games that lean into "obsessed with sonic" being her entire personality which sucks so bad

i feel like theres two main types of people who deny that amy has ever been poorly written. the first group is the people who just dont wanna contribute to the needless hate that she gets. which is understandable. and the second group are that certain really annoying brand of sonamy shippers who think that theyre meant to be together so amys romantic advances on sonic are always 100 percent justified and if sonic is uncomfortable because his boundaries are being crossed he needs to just get over it and date her already. or they just dont care about amy outside of the ship so they dont mind her whole character being reduced to that because all they wanted is ship content anyway. which is Not so understandable

the way my excitement over tangle and whisper getting more merch was immediately crushed the second i noticed the sdcc logo on the box

jesus christ i thought i was gonna get a break from the weird amy writing since im done with her story but i just started creams story and the literal opening scene is just more weight loss stuff

The way they have Amy so obsessed about losing weight in Battle is also incredibly UM when you remember that she is 12...

i mean its not completely unbelievable that a kid her age could have body image issues but her being that young definitely doesnt make it any more comfortable to play through yeah. overall the way amy is written in this game is just so . this might be some of the worst writing for her that ive ever seen in an official thing its like they heard me say i dont like that they made her crush on sonic her only personality trait in this game and then the monkeys paw curled and they made her only other personality trait obsessed with losing weight

one of amys moves in sonic battle just being called Girl Straight is really funny to me sorry

okay im definitely going to be away from home when sxs gens comes out i need to figure out how im going to deal with this

just realized that im gonna have to say the phrase "sonic x shadow" out loud to a gamestop employee when asking about the game

Idk if you've already gotten to the point where it shows up or not, but there's one line from her that (probably unintentionally) implies she has an eating disorder, which is really messed up

the way i just looked up from the game to go "why the hell are they putting so much emphasis on amy wanting to lose weight" and saw this ask

i just beat knuckles' story in sonic battle which means amy is next and based on the way shes been written so far i am terrified to see what is going to happen here . but onwards i go anyway

something so beautiful about how shadow with huge demon wings is probably something that would have been widely made fun of a few years ago but the general consensus on it now is that its the coolest thing to ever happen . peace and love on the black comet

local echidna spotted staring at the moon and thinking about him more news at 11

writing wise theres a lot of things i like about sonic battle but the way theyre handling amy so far is kind of um. uhhh . i havent actually gotten to amys episode yet just interacted with her briefly in other characters' episodes so maybe things will get better eventually but um.

rouge outright saying in sonic battle that she never wants to have children. literally what ive been saying thank you for proving me right rouge

this was in the new steam description for sxs generations . you dont understand ive wanted shadows black arms dna to be actually acknowledged and used for so long . ever since i had my brain chemistry permanently altered by learning about the full details of shadows backstory when i was in middle school ive been like Well where are his sick ass alien powers ??!?!?!?!?!?!?! and i used to read the shadow fall arc of sonic universe over and over again just for every scrap of that sort of content i could get. also its extra cool that they seem to be working shadows unique abilities into the gameplay because a lot of games before this dont really do that and just have shadow be a sonic reskin which i understand Why they would do that but you know. shadow the hedgehog (2005) enjoyers this is OUR FUCKING YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the sonic universe theres a 50/50 chance going on hrt will turn you into some sort of creature i think
