Hi! I hope youโre doing well and getting some rest after writing so much. I think this might actually be my first time messaging you on Tumblr, since I donโt really use it much haha.
I just wanted to say that after reading some of your smuts, one thing I absolutely love is how you write Sonic and Shadow when they sleep together. It feels tender and spicy at the same time, and it works so well. I really love how you treat them as equals and write them as switches, even if you lean more toward Top Shadow (lol).
For me, that fits Shadow really naturally, since he enjoys control and domination. At the same time, I really like how you show him being more vulnerable when heโs in a submissive position, because itโs outside his comfort zone. Being the Ultimate Life Form, it makes sense that submission wouldnโt come easily to him or feel satisfying right away because of his strength. I like to think Sonic is one of the few who can genuinely bring Shadow into that place of trust and meet him as an equal in strength. (๐)
As for Sonic, I can also see him as a top sometimes. In canon, theyโre equals in terms of power, but when Sonic chooses to submit becauseโฆ itโs Shadow. And when Sonic is on top, you can really feel how attentive and caring he is. He feels like the reason Shadow is able to open up and allow himself to be vulnerable. I also love how quiet Shadow gets in those moments, because it makes total sense that heโd struggle to talk when he feels exposed. Honestly, I relate to that a lot ๐คฃ
Overall, in canon Sonic always feels like a total ambivert to me, not fully extroverted or introverted, but very much โIโll do whatever I want.โ So itโs no surprise that these two are so competitive, even about positions lol. When Shadow is on top, he enjoys provoking, exploring, and being intense in a good way. When Sonic is on top, itโs more playful, caring, and attentive. I really love that balance in the way you write them.
Sorry for the long message, and if it sounds a bit clichรฉ. I just genuinely appreciate the way you write them. It feels really different from a lot of smut Iโve tried to read, and that means a lot to me
I am SO sorry Iโm very slow at responding sometimes (aย lot of times) but thank you! I donโt really get much rest in general because #life but itโs been good!
It means a lot to me that you notice that about the way I write them. Tender spice is my favorite smut flavor. For me, if there are no feels, I donโt want it. Thatโs what makes it sexy to me. My little demisexual heart is uninterested in physical pleasure only. Their dynamic is part of why I love them so much. Thereโs this constant give and take, respect and challenge. I write them as switches even if I do have a personal preference for top Shadow hehe For me, the way I understand and write their characters, they enjoy changing it up. No set roles.
I donโt see Shadow as someone who participates in or enjoys casual sex either. I headcanon him as demi (am I projecting? Maaaaaybe. Lol) and also feel that he sees sex as a vulnerability engagement that heโs uninterested in sharing with just anyone. Sonic has his respect at the very least, and then his trust, and eventually his love. For Sonic he would be vulnerable. I think itโs super cool you can relate to the way I write Shadow because honestly, obviously, lol same ๐ซฑ๐ปโ๐ซฒ๐ป
Sonic just chases pleasure lol Things are a little more simple for him, but their personalities do definitely come through in sex and I think they should :-D!
Your message really means a lot to me and such a thoughtful, thought provoking ask is a treasure. It is really satisfying to write something that others can relate to and connect with so knowing the way I handle their intimate moments stands out to you makes me really super happy ๐ฅฐ Never apologies for long asks or comments or messages. They're gifts and are appreciated as such ๐๐ป๐ฅน๐ค๐
