a bunch of sonic the hedgehog headcanons
I love Sonic games but they had always been shallow-ish for me, especially when canon line became a huge mess. Didn’t read comics. Dislike Shadow The Hedgehog game. Never read any Sonic hc’s before. Most of the hc’s below are Sonic-centric and Sonic Adventure based.
1. Sonic is the fastest creature in the Universe, so he uses a car/hoverboard/whatever because he doesn’t want ruin everyone’s fun by just walking. I repeat myself here but I wanna keep everything in one place
2. I never was into SonAmy, however, I think Sonic avoiding Amy is not all about She Creeps Me Out but She Creeps Me Out So If We Ever Gonna Date She’s Gonna Be In A Big Trouble.
3. Sonic is very careful and gentle behind his general Easy Going Hero Attitude, even if he doesn‘t want everyone to know it.
4. Sonic isn’t very smart but he understand everyone around him good enough to leave them keeping such arduous tasks like defusing The Very Big Nuke.
5. Sonic can befriend anyone, anything, even Eggman.
6. Eggman REJECTS friendship as a concept because he is failing to understand it constantly. Because of it, he always seeks power and makes robots, -- it is just a waaay simpler path to live a life, than try any social activity which isn’t about killing anybody, or zombify, or got the idea. This is why Eggman and Sonic so antagonistic to each other, and usually ended up defeating some Ancient Gods Of Mass Destruction, and stopping Secret Space Colonies from falling together. Eggman needs Sonic, or he will turn a world apart having no one, who could revers his deeds, no matter how bad and immoral they were. i hope a fanfic about it exists somewhere or i swear to god
7. Jet the Hawk likes challenge, so it’s obvious why he disrespects Sonic at first. He is an embodiment of speed, a streaming blue haze at a side of an eye, he deserves some mockery! Then Sonic prove himself to be The Fastest One without being Sonic the Hedgehog, and Jet thought: oh well, i’m outta here it’s basically a sonic riders canon i just like the dynamics
8. Shadow is more aware of a Friendship Concept than Eggman but, Sonic just tires him, and Sonic, in Shadow’s perspective, is kind of a want-to-know-all-about person. Rouge is quite the same, except she isn’t asking him anything. She just knows… like Maria? Who knows.
9. e 123 omega loves tiny animals
10. Tails potentially might be the only character, besides Shadow, who can deal with The Big Sad Experience and remain seemingly unharmed.
