Knuckles, and Apollo!

Knuckles:

favorite thing about them: I like that he’s a good ol’ reliable dumbass. It’s weird, because I grew up in the era where there was less game canon to go on, so most of the other media I followed didn’t characterise Knuckles as a dumbass, but honestly I prefer dumbass knuckles. We have too many hotpockets of destiny in this series as is, let Knuckles be well meaning, but easily tricked.least favorite thing about them: The Ken Penders version.favorite line: Unlike Sonic I don’t chuckle, I’d rather flex my muscles.brOTP: Knuckles & Relic the PikaOTP: Tied between Rouckles and SonKnuxnOTP: KnuxJulierandom headcanon: He talks to the master emerald when he’s on his own.unpopular opinion: At one point my opinions for Knuckles were unpopular, since I liked him as the last of his kind and didn’t think he needed a million recolour echidna relatives, but these days everyone hates Penders, so that’s not an unpopular opinion any more.song i associate with them: Unknown from M.E.

Apollo:

favorite thing about them: Herr Forehead!! He is the perfect protagonist! I love everything about him!least favorite thing about them: The backstory they gave him in the later games. I did want to know more about where Apollo came from building on what was established in AA4, but what we got wasn’t it, bro.favorite line: Apollo: No need to worry, sir! I’m fine!Kristoph: Ah, and Apollo? You shouldn’t say you’re fine quite so much. People might take you the wrong way.Apollo: *gulp*

brOTP: I mean Apollo & Trucy are the easy answer, but I also think Apollo & Ema are underrated brosOTP: Klapollo again :DnOTP: None really, but I doubt I’d be into Apollo/Clayrandom headcanon: He was a little bit in love with Kristoph and because of that he feels awkward to start anything with Klavier for quite a while (though obvs they both grow through this)unpopular opinion: He’s a better protag than Phoenixsong i associate with them: I’m sorry I have no answers for these :(

Tails and Knuckles

Tails

My NOTP for them Tails/Fiona. As in the real Fiona, not the robot one. I actually do like Fiona as a character a lot, but the way she treated Tails was not okay and I’m glad that he got over his crush on her. My BROTP for them Hmm, to say something different to the obvious Sonic & Tails, how about Tails & Rotor? I feel that in the reboot universe Rotor stands out a lot more and has a much stronger personally that can’t just be brushed under the rug as “the tech guy before Tails became the tech guy”. But since they are both still tech characters I think they’d be able to bond together easily.My OTP for them I’m gonna hide my head in shame here, but I never stopped liking Tails/Cream, in an AU setting where they’re both older. I’m sorry, universe.My second choice pairing for them I don’t really have any proper ships with Tails to be honest, but Tails/Marine seemed kind of cute.My fluffy pairing for them Tails/Cream is fluffy enough, haha.My angsty pairing for them Not into angst with Tails.My favorite poly ship for them None coming to mind right now.My weirdest pairing for them I was joking about shipping Tails with my OC Hex the Owl with a friend a while back, but now I think I might actually like that…

Knuckles

My NOTP for them Now that I’m older and reading the Knuckles comics from a better perspective, I’m not keen on Knuckles/Julie-Su under Ken Penders’s writing. The other writers did a decent job with them, but I’m not keen on how Julie-Su was written to be Knuckles’s girlfriend, with Penders even admitting this is why she exists as a character. The soul touch concept is a terrible excuse to shove two character together without giving them proper interaction, too. I’m cool with the ship under other writers though, like I said.My BROTP for them Knuckles & Amy! I’ve always enjoyed their dynamic and they made an amazing team in the most recent Sonic Universe arc.My OTP for them I’m kind of a fan of Knuckles/Rouge, but only in the context that it isn’t a ship where the characters end up together forever. Instead I like the idea of them being two independent treasure hunters who sometimes cross paths, flirt a bit and then go their separate ways. It’s a fun ship to work with in that context.My second choice pairing for them Haha, I’m a long-time Sonic/Knuckles shipper. The Boom universe has only increased my love of this ship.My fluffy pairing for them Knuckles & Relic friendship!My angsty pairing for them Knuckles/Thrash…? B) *Sunglasses lower onto my face while explosions happen in the background*My favorite poly ship for them Boom universe Sonic/Knuckles/Eggman for the lulz.My weirdest pairing for them Knuckles/The Master Emerald isn’t weird if it’s canon. Or was canon. These days the Master Emerald is very lonely and cries iyself to sleep.
