Reposted from Discord; we were high af.
We're about to say something so in-character for a shadow but bare with us here. So... Hold on a hot funky fucking minute — why does everyone blame me and act like I “pushed Sonic away”? Why do they act like I’m supposed to automatically like him just because we sometimes seem to aim for the same thing? I’m meant to be on “the good team” or whatever people call the morally right side. But just because people like Sonic, I’m supposed to too?
Isn’t it strange how fans think Shadow should like Sonic just because he’s the “good guy” and they believe they understand him? Have they ever not liked someone or got along with someone who wasn't a "bad person"?
So sorry, no thanks. He’s annoying, mysterious, and almost like a Fae or something. Sonic — the guy who is antagonistic to me and can be surprisingly wise, even if he’s also so densely stupid at times — is a self-centered prick; he keeps his distance emotionally; and he often gets in the way of what I want to do. And yet, he sees me as a “friend”? And I’m supposed to like him? shut up dude. I'm going to kick your ass.
