Anyway, on to my theory:
In my post above, I considered the possibility that perhaps Knuckles and Rouge met each other before Knuckles came to Earth in Sonic 2. I've considered the possibility that they were rivals for the Master Emerald and constantly fought over who had the right to possess it and/or they could have worked together to find the Master Emerald, only for Rouge to later betray Knuckles. While one or both of these theories could be true, one theory that could really push the heartstrings is the possibility that they could have had a thing or potentially considered being one.
I imagine after Knuckles is reunited with Rouge, he coldly rebuffs her and storms away. Team Sonic (Amy included) finds him drowning his sorrows on grape juice and/or stress-eating bread (possibly Challah bread as he's gotten a taste for it in the Knuckles series). A family-friendly version of the scene from Casablanca could be a very good example of how I imagine Knuckle's looking.
While Knuckles is not interested in talking, finally Sonic annoys him enough for him to open up about his and Rouge's story (I'll go into that later). After Knuckles finishes his story, he bitterly goes over the pain Rouge's betrayal caused.
Knuckles: "Rouge betrayed me. Dishonoured me. She..." (hesitates to continue)
Amy: (softly and with sympathetic understanding) "She broke your heart?"
Knuckles drowns down his grape juice and then crushes the glass in his hands. Millions of tiny, shattered pieces fall onto the bench. Knuckles watches with sad acceptance.
Knuckles (softly and sadly): "Into a million pieces."
Knuckles and Rouge's backstory:
We know a little about Knuckle's SCU backstory from Sonic 2, Sonic: The Pre-quill comic and even the Knuckles series, specifically from the Flames of Disaster song (you can find it on YouTube, but I've chosen not to include a link), but a lot is left up in the air regarding what Knuckles got up to between the massacre of his tribe and between meeting his team and adoptive family in Sonic 2. I give credit to @mama-qwerty for her theory about Knuckles possibly being raised in a gladiator pit as inspiration for some of my own theories.
💬 2 🔁 18 ❤️ 48 · So, in the series, Knuckles was told to make himself at home. He was having trouble adjusting to a calmer domestic life,
There's a possibility that Knuckles and Rouge met in the fighting pits and were pit against each other. While Knuckles appeared to have the upper hand at first, Rouge eventually defeated him using her cunning, charm and of course her ability to fly and give impressive kicks. While Knuckles was humiliated by the defeat and sore with Rouge, secretly...he was also impressed, though he was too proud to admit it.
Though he initially refused to talk to her, Rouge eventually won Knuckles over (albeit in his own guarded way). She offered to help Knuckles on his quest to find the Master Emerald in exchange for his help in getting out of the pits alive. Though cunning enough to break out herself, she felt that Knuckle's strength and good reputation with the mercenaries could "be useful". The two of them eventually left the pits together and started a "purely professional" relationship of looking for the Master Emerald together.
The two went on the run for a while. Developing a Bonnie and Clyde style partnership, though with Knuckles keeping Rouge morally in check whenever she took things too far. Despite Knuckles guarded demeanour, Rouge's charm, cleverness and Amazonian beauty and fighting skills began to slowly win him over. He considered the possibility that despite them being different alien species, perhaps the two could start their own tribe. That the two could have far more than just a "professional" relationship, but Knuckle's was too shy and proud to admit his feelings.
Unfortunately, just when Knuckles was about to admit his feelings for Rouge, she ended up stabbing him in the back to save her own skin (and possibly to have the emerald all for herself). Breaking Knuckles' trust...and his heart. From then on, he became even more untrusting and guarded when it came to the Emerald and his heart (until he became a Wachowski and member of Team Sonic).
Secretly, Rouge always regretted betraying Knuckles, as she often missed him. She was in denial about it due to her "don't get attached" mentality she built up for herself. It's only after the two are reunited does she realise how much the "handsome knucklehead" really meant to her, and she admits (at least only to herself) that her feelings for Knuckles are far deeper than "purely professional". She admits that she may consider Knuckles to be a true friend...and perhaps someday...something more.
Movie comparisons:
I could see Knuckles and Rouge's backstory being a combination of the friendship betrayal story of Puss in Boots and Humpty Alexander Dumpty to a small extent. I could see Knuckles's reaction to seeing Rouge being practically the same as Puss in Boots's reaction to seeing Humpty again.
Of course, I could also see similarities to Puss and KItty's relationship. Rouge is definitely like Kitty in that they are both flirtatious and cunning women (see 4:06 to 5:00) who are all about the score (see 14:19 to 14:24). They're both being guarded individuals who take a while to open up to others (see 7:05 to 8:16), but show they have hearts of gold for those they care about and love (see 14:57 to 15:58). Even how Puss and Kitty say goodbye feels very Knuxouge-coded in my opinion (see 16:30 to the end).
I could certainly see them bickering like Puss and Kitty when the two are reunited (see 2:44 to the end).
Basically, I see Knuckles and Rouge acting like two ex's who constantly bicker with each but can work well as a team when push comes to shove. I imagine them bickering because they're too proud to admit that they have (and in Knuckle's case still has) feelings for each other. I imagine it will take Knuckles some time to trust Rouge again and will take them even longer for them to admit (even to themselves) that they have feelings for each other. I could see their relationship developing as slow-burn over the course of several films. It's important they learn to work as team before even thinking about becoming a couple.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this theory. Feel free to share your thoughts via comments and/or reblogs. Also, if you can, check out my earliest Movie Knuxouge post. I believe it's safe for younger viewers. Maybe PG for suggestive content, religious profanity and a clip from Casablanca, Glee and a Batman Returns gif.
This is a theory that's been bubbling in my mind as well. That Knuckles and Rouge teamed up together before the events of Sonic 2, my baby boy caught feelings, and she left him to die; betrayed him and left him near comatose with heartache.
His first real connection since his tribe died and this is how it ended!!!
No wonder he would be so hostile towards her if she shows up.
@chipmunkfanno1love and @mama-qwerty are geniuses!
Also, It'd be cool if @mushroomflood drew an image from this theory! interested?
✰ Rarely swears, finds it improper. Most he’ll say is damn/hell/piss. Says more intense swears in stressful situations
✰ Odysseus disposed of Polites’s headband after monster, giving up the “open arms” philosophy. Eurylochus picked it back up and kept it tied around the handle of his sword.
✰ Realized halfway through Scylla what the torches meant. He was tripping over himself trying to save people, even if he knew it was futile.
✰ Was aching for Odysseus after The Underworld saga. Odysseus was growing distant, and Eurylochus missed his friend so badly.
✰ Would do everything in his power to comfort the crew when they got emotional. Even if he’s not good at emotions or comforting like Polites, he still tried. He got better at it overtime.
✰ Always made sure everyone else ate before he did. Even when food was scarce he made sure everybody else ate before even touching his food. If someone didn’t have any he’d break off a piece of his to share.
✰ The crew got more comfortable with Eurylochus who got warmer when Odysseus got colder. They’d speak to him about personal things to vent or spill their thoughts. Though whenever they complained about Odysseus Eurylochus would always defend him.
Perimedes: “By the gods captain has just been so rude lately!”
Eurylochus: “I understand, he’s definitely gotten stricter. But don’t be too hard on him. He has a lot going on.”
✰ Hated sleeping in his own bed after the cyclops. He slept in the bunk right underneath Polites. He missed having someone to talk to before bed every night.
✰ A very sentimental person. Will value even the most useless item if it reminded him of a fond memory or was given to him by someone special.
✰ His mother used to do pottery which he would help make growing up and help her sell. He did it up until he was eighteen when life started getting in the way of his hobby. By the time he was twenty he was off to war and he abandoned the hobby all together. He reminisced about it while Odysseus was knocked out on Helios’s island, going over his life.
Eurylochus: “I was a good potter captain. Really good.”
✰ Didn’t charge at Odysseus. Just stood in place and smiled. No matter how badly he just wanted to run into Odysseus’s arms and hug him one last time before the bolt.
Eurylochus my beloved they could never make me hate you💔
BAHAHHAH my carpal tunnel is acting up and I can’t feel my fingers but the visual is so funny I had to draw it, apologies on the jankiness
They started a support club for “my emo narrative foil died to save me while my two best friends supported me through a earth shattering character arc and was able to save the common people of my planet while somehow not revealing my identity” or something like that.

you know the sonic movies have succeeded with their characterization when the first movie came out people were quick to dismiss most of the new human characters but by the third you have a collective of people in the fandom loving them, and their dynamics with the sonic characters of the series…. I think that’s pretty cool tbh! (mostly referring to Tom Maddie and Stone here but yeah. point still stands)
So true. When the first movie came out, folks dismissed Tom as “Generic White Guy.” Once the trailer to the 3rd one came out, everyone was begging Tom not to die lol
Knuckles is a mama's boy in the sense that he has the utmost respect for Maddie as the matriarch, healer, and caregiver of his new tribe, so he fiercely protects and loves her ❤️ Tails is a mama's boy in the sense that he is so young and he just wants to be cared for, cuddled, comforted, and loved by the mother that he never had before 💛
They are! They really do love their momma with all their hearts❤️🥹❤️
