     “That’s because I wanted to surprise you!” She replies from her spot on the floor. Amy is sat cross-legged, digging through the under-sink cabinet like a girl on a mission; the pots and pans surrounding her are nothing but victims in a conquest. Of course, the baking tray she needs is all the way at the back…

     Something clatters as she continues on speaking. “Baking with friends is a great way to spend the day — oof,” bonk goes her head on the wood. Amy pulls away, holding the muffin tray high in the air for Shadow to see. “Got it!”

     With the tray haphazardly shoved onto the counter, Amy stands and brushes herself off. “And besides, I really do need help!” She urges. “I’ve got lots of cupcakes to make and not enough me to go around. C’mon, Shadow,” her hands clasp together as she hits him with the biggest pair of doe eyes. “It’ll be fun! I promise!” Always so theatrical.

"when you called me over for help, i didn't expect..." he hesitates to be rude, quickly sifting through descriptors before finally unrolling his unsureness plainly. "this." cooking? was not something he was versed in at all. but he'll try anything once. shadow figures this is just her trying to be nice and extend some companionship. fine enough, he figures that's nice... for all he doesn't say it.

      Amy is a good girl.

      She is, really — all the things one should be: polite. Kind. Attentive. Empathetic. Giving. Her palms always face up and her smile is warm enough to fill the cold spots in a room.

      Amy is a cool girl. She's different from other girls (but not different enough to stand out). A well-timed joke earns as much mileage as a quarter for gas, but at least she isn't too loud... well, except for the times she is. But at least she's pretty.

      She is very pretty. She is feminine, with soft skin and dainty hands (that can carry hundreds in weight). Amy's quills fall perfectly just above petite shoulders and she has long eyelashes and her voice lilts when she laughs. She is very pretty. And she enjoys that. It feels nice to wear a dress, and when someone compliments the way it twirls about as she walks, that feels good.

      She is a girl.

      Sonic said as much when they'd first met. Back then, she was a weird girl. Not good, or cool, but weird — if it'd been anyone else saying it, Amy is sure she would have been hurt, but it was Sonic. Everything was okay if Sonic said it.

      Being the weird girl meant chasing Sonic through storm and shine, no matter how much mud got on her sneakers. The weird girl would spar with Knuckles so much her own two fists would batter and bruise. She would help Tails work on the Tornado, gloves stained with oil and grease. Weird girl slept under the stars on the cold, wet grass and felt alive. Weird girl had back quills and barely any eyelashes to bat to get her way. Weird girl was one of them.

      As time passed, they left Knuckles and Angel Island behind for the United Federation. Amy moved to Station Square and saw that other girls her age were... different. They didn't bruise their knuckles, or get covered in mud. They trimmed their quills and wore shoes with heels and not rainbow laces; how cool they seemed. All it took was a passing thought —would Sonic like this? — and the next time they met, she was wearing a headband.

      Sonic didn't call her weird girl, then. She was simply Amy. Amy Rose. Everything was okay if Sonic said it.

      Yesterday morning, as Amy trudged downstairs in her pajamas (joggers and a t-shirt), she stood in front of her mail locker in the lobby and tried not to think about her appearence. No time to do quills, or makeup, or get dressed, and the vaccum running down the hallway was so loud she barely heard the voice of the person who'd bumped into her; "sorry, sir".

      A day later and she still doesn't know whether to be confused or not. To be angry. Surely it was a mistake, because she's always been "ma'am" and not "sir", and how does she look like a sir anyways — what does sir look like? Like Sonic? Like Knuckles, or Tails? One of them?

      No, Amy is cool girl.

      Amy is a good girl.

      Amy is...?

     "Halloween?" Amy asks, blinking at her. "It's a holiday! For scary things," she drops her voice at 'scary' and wiggles her fingers to set the mood. "Like scary movies! And haunted houses! Oh, and costumes — people like to dress up as lots of different things! Sonic usually goes as a vampire every year." She giggles. "Cream and I wear matching costumes when I take her trick or treating. I make a very convicing princess," she says, striking a pose with a hand on her hip.

Thinking for a moment, Shade taps a finger to her chin. " There's this word I've been hearing go around, I believe it's called .. Halloween? People seem to be awfully excited about it.. What is it exactly? "

     "Shade!" Amy puts her arms behind her back and smiles, big and wide. "And I have an answer! ... maybe. What's up?"

@timewontwait asked: "You won't have to worry about him ever again. I promise." ~Fleetway :)

     Who is "him?"

     Amy knows Sonic. More than she knows anything, she'd say — like the back of her hand. When Sonic makes a promise, he keeps it; for better or worse, she thinks, staring up at his floating form. This is the power of the emeralds, no doubt, but the warmth she knows... it's different. Scalding. Amy squints in the light.

     "... Sonic," she begins, voice wavering. "What are you talking about?" No one has seen you for weeks. I didn't see you for six months. What happened to you, let me help you, I need to —

     Amy takes a step forward. One hand outstretched, as open and inviting as her heart (always, for him). The sun burns, and maybe she's Icarus, but what does it matter? Amy knows Sonic. "Please. I want to understand..."

     Hook, line, and sinker.

     "You do?!" She gasps and clasps her hands together. With the jacket's existence now brought to light, Amy is dead-set on witnessing it. "Oh yes, that sounds perfect! I'd love to see! Can I? I'll try and match you and it'll be super cute!"

" Amy, I don't think I... "

" --I have a jacket with some on it. Do you think it will suffice? "

thinking aloud — with the canon ages being dead & buried now (they've always been a little nebulous anyways), i was hoping fandom would treat amy a bit kinder. i've seen a lot of thinly veiled misogyny take the shape of "she's twelve years old, of course she's annoying!" but... this, kinda, strange thing is happening where people are applauding the direction ian flynn has taken her, but in a way that mirrors the complaints people had with her in the early 2000s.

when frontiers released, i had to wade through an absolute sea of posts claiming "amy is finally fixed!"; apparently i missed the memo that she was ever broken at all! there was plenty of praise of her, supposedly, new-found depth — that ian had penned her an "actual character". this was all coming from people who were quick to say amy didn't exist without her crush on sonic in previous media, and that that same crush made her badly written, weak, difficult to find likeable, ect ect.

and it's such a fundamental misunderstanding of amy's character. i don't understand how anyone could play sonic adventure and leave it thinking amy was somehow the weakest link, or that she didn't have substance? her entire story is one of compassion and the power of empathy! look at how she handles gamma! she is the kindest, most loving character in the cast, and that same heart has literally saved the world (shadow knows!); a strong hammer she may wield, sure, but it's not her best power. love is

when i was younger, i admittedly fell into the popular opinion of "amy doesn't need to have a crush on sonic"; at the time, people online thought it made her boring. or annoying. the high point of sonic x, especially the english dub, had fandom accusing her of being a literal stalker (or that she "got in the way" of other ships with sonic...). but as i've gotten older and i've seen her crush mellowed out by the writing team, i find myself missing her old way of expression. i miss her cheekiness, that girlish intuition or "this way there's no way out of marrying me!" it's so funny, and quirky and incredibly endearing. amy being shameless with her love is something i love — it's refreshing to see a character so proud of their heart.

the murder of sonic really brought this side of her into the spotlight (at least in comparison to the likes of frontiers and idw) and i appreciate that a lot! that spunkiness is front and center, and she's stating her mind and lovingly bullying her friends. it's so good.

so imagine my surprise when i still saw people complaining in a similar vein to deviantart's "she's creepy!" angles. something something, fandom has always had a problem with how it treats women, and unfortunately amy can't escape this fate like... ever. it's a shame that her liking a boy is the thing that breaks the camel's back for so many but! whatever! jokes on them, it's cute and lovely and she is love incarnate!

i love amy rose

#* ∙ ♡ / out of character. #long post / #this is nothing but a stream of consciousness but i saw someone say that chris taking amy's place in the SA2 arc in x was better for it - #- and that sonic doesn't consider her a “real” friend and anyways i saw red #people DONT RESPECT HER i will fight an army for miss rose #ok im normal now thanks guys

[hammeringheart]

     If there were any more stars in her eyes, they'd practically create a new galaxy. So, in other words: she's excited.

     "Yes! I like the way you think, speedy!" Amy giggles and places her hands on her hips. "As if he can say no to me! This face is too cute to deny." She pokes her cheek with all the confidence in the world. Shadow better be ready, his fate is sealed —

"ME! I'll get the soda and smuggle in the candy, heh heh!"

A pause and then a mischevious grin.

"And if we work together I bet we can get Shadow to come too!"

Ask Sonic for a kiss!

     "Gee, I know I've got a reputation but..! Does it always have to be Sonic? Maybe I want to kiss someone else!" Digging herself a hole now. "... not that I think Sonic would be bad to kiss —" Girl help.
