Entering the sonic fandom after years of not been here as and adult has really make me reevaluate the way i interact with ships and characters especifically
AMY ROSE
I never really like amy as a kid i preferred Cream the rabbit i never dislike her neither just wasn't my cup of tea at the time (as a kiddo i was sick of so many hyperfeminine heroes).
As a kid, i use to watch Aurora the hedgehog videos and many of the other Amy fankids i use to love those videos.
But now looking back at this and becoming more invested in the stories of the characters and the fandom after analizing it's content i come to realize that i don't like SonAmy anymore, it's aesthetic pleasing to my eye but then i remember the history of the two character and i feel wakky.
I can see how much the two character hold back eachother but over all i don't like the message that the ship leaves.
You just have to wait enough for the other person to see value in you.
That is how sonamy feels now this is the message that i see, i don't like that amy is sacrificing her integrity and convictions for the love of someone, i'm tired that in her stories, she becomes this side character waiting for a stupid knight to make a move, someone to save, someone who only is appreciated when they are gone.
I dont like sonamy cause the message it leaves it's just bad when you sit and actually analize it.
Don't get me started in the fandom take like???
Tumblr really say yeah now that you are bigger and have better media reading,
