Let's see, five things that make me happy?
1. I adore the Mega Man Archie comics. I haven't personally delved far into Sonic Archie, but I've probably read Mega Man Archie back to front more times than I can count. I began reading them around the time when I was 15-16 (I'm 20 currently.) and was dealing with things irl that I'd rather not delve into on a post like this. However, their characterization of Protoman really resonated with me and I feel a very strong connection with him as a character. Watching him develop made me want to develop into a stronger person too.
2. I love the movie Akira! On my main, you occasionally see me reblog stuff about it. I was super into it back in my freshman years of HS but to this day, it's still my comfort movie in a lot of ways. I hyperfixated on it a lot back then and own the complete set of the manga as well and it's generally a series I fall back on when the going gets tough. It's themes are still important to this day and, quite honestly, I could write an entire essay about it (Well, I did actually for a senior project in HS about film themes.).
3. I collect keychains! I'm not sure why! It's mostly silly anime keychains, but I like buying ones of my comfort characters when I can. Here's a few of my personal favorite ones!
4. I really enjoy my comfort characters! I need to write up a more current list someday, but a big one for me right now is Shinji Hirako from Bleach. I'm not sure what it is about him, to be honest, but I like his laid-back positive attitude about a lot of things. It never fails to make me happy.
5. Finally, something a bit more on topic for this blog. Even if they aren't perfect, I just generally enjoy playing Sonic games as a whole. The series has been a huge hyperfixation ever since I was little alongside Pokémon and Digimon. All Sonic media just puts me in a good place. I love playing the games, reading the comics, watching the shows, etc. Not everything is amazing, but to me, that's okay, because I'm allowed to like things some people might find not as good. Is the series flawed? Yeah! But what series isn't! The series universe as a whole is just so enjoyable that I can't help but take solace in getting lost in something Sonic related for a few hours or thinking about my silly OCs that I've had since I was a little ten year old in elementary making Flipnotes about their adventures. And really, that's all there is to it.
