#this is basically every sonaze interaction ever.

[marinaiguess]

sonaze my beloved. sonic meeting blaze and thinking about "that strange girl". blaze hearing about some sonic all day long to the point where she starts resenting him. blaze asking cream what that sonic was like cuz she was thinking about him.

sonic meeting blaze for the second time and hesitating to fight her and trying to talk her out of it. sonic immediately checking if she's okay right after the battle meaning that he also didn't give his all to that fight in fear he might srsly hurt her. sonic understanding that she had a rough past. sonic trying to persuade her to let him help her, even mid-fight. sonic telling her to be true to herself. blaze trusting him. sonic trusting her to save cream. sonic teaching her the power of friendship, showing her how to unlock the sol emeralds' power, which she wasn't able to use until then. blaze being able to understand that her powers are a gift and not a curse, thanks to sonic.

sonic and blaze transforming to fight the eggmans. sonic and blaze stalling for time once the battle is over. sonic telling her that cream is gonna miss her, asking her if she has anything to say. blaze not saying anything cuz she's sad she has to leave them, avoiding his gaze. sonic "this is from me" moment which we will never know what meant. sonic promising to see her again even tho he knows that's almost impossible bcuz their worlds and emeralds wont allow that. sonic stretching his hand out and blaze taking it. them holding onto each other until their worlds tear them apart. sonic holding onto blaze using both hands. blaze thinking about sonic and smiling.

blaze trusting sonic with her fear of heights. sonic being impressed by her knowledge and skills. blaze saying that the emeralds brought sonic to her world for a reason. sonic not being able to finish his goodbye. shaking hands. sonic waving at her. sonic going to a world with knights and recognizing that Percival is not blaze. even tho he couldn't tell the difference for the other knights of the round table at first. sonic saving Percival and making her blush. Percival being the only one who treated sonic with respect, for lack of better term. the first one who tried to talk him out of fighting Merlina, being unable to watch him get beat up. (even if this is in Sonic's mind, he chose to think of Percival as blaze).

blaze knowing that sonic loves seaside hill. blaze visiting Sonic's world for his birthday. blaze learning to open up and trust more people and herself gradually, making more friends in the process. sonic getting giddy and excited when blaze shows up to help him. them working like a well-oiled machine. them fighting together side by side, as if they have known each other forever, even tho they haven't met that many times. sonic comforting her about her fear of heights by giving her his hand.

sonic telling her to visit them more often. sonic being excited about her using her super form. sonic losing his memory which was brought back by blaze, by her super form, which reminded him of their adventures together. of all the things they've been through. of everything he felt the first time he saw that form. blaze saying she was worried about him. sonic saying that cream misses her before she sends him to his world. sonic apologizing for having to make her fight on her vacation. sonic taking her on a date to show her his world.

it's them against the world.

🔥 for the Sonic series as well ;)

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

Hoo boy you just opened another entire can of worms here

So uhhh let’s get started shall we?

First of all, people need to stop bitching about whether or not the classic games are the best or the Adventure-era games or the modern games. All Sonic games have their ups and downs. To say that their greatness stopped after [insert Sonic game here] is really rude and puts down a lot of other people who genuinely like the series and all it has to offer.

With this in mind, I genuinely like Sonic ‘06…at least, in theory. If Sega hadn’t rushed it the way they did (and I feel awful about all the pressure that was put on them in order to put something out there), then I’m sure we would have had a genuinely excellent game and we definitely wouldn’t have as much of a divide in the fandom. Of course, I am not without my fair share of opinions on it, though.

Let’s just get right down to it, shall we? We didn’t need Elise and that awkward “romantic” subplot. It felt kinda…forced in some ways? Furthermore I don’t even think that the princess in the story should have been Elise. It should have been Blaze. She could still be the same character implemented in the exact same way and everything, but carrying all of Elise’s role in the story would have made SO much more sense. It would give her a larger reason to be a part of the storyline, too. Also…SOL Dimension? SOLeanna? SOL Emeralds? SOLaris? Sega missed out on a golden opportunity here. I think they should hire me for a remake of this game.

Speaking of Blaze, WHERE WAS SHE IN FORCES?! I know she’s gonna show up in IDW at some point, I think, but if the Phantom Ruby can mess with other dimensions, then Blaze popping up in the in-game story could have made sense. Also, where was Big in all this? Where was Cream? And her mom? And most importantly, where were all the Chao and the animal buddies? Sonic games aren’t the same without Chao :(

Now let’s change the subject here and get to the voice actors. I genuinely like this voice cast a lot. Roger’s voice still sits a little too deep for a 15 year old, I think, but he delivers the snark so well it’s grown on me.

I like that Cindy Robinson doesn’t sound too Minnie Mouse with her take on Amy, but I still like Liza Ortiz’s slightly better since her 12 year old voice is a little more believable.

Quinton Flynn makes a good Silver. His voice doesn’t bite as much as Pete Capella’s voice used to. Quinton sounds much…calmer? But he still manages to capture both the vulnerability in his voice and the strong sense of justice he maintains.

Kirk Thornton is doing an amazing job with Shadow. I know he had a little bit of trouble adjusting in earlier games but he has improved so much. I don’t like his take on Boom!Shadow, though. He didn’t have to make him sound so gruff.

Kathleen Delaney’s voice for Rouge was absolutely atrocious. Bringing Karen Strassman in was such an enormous relief. I like how she implement’s Rouge’s coy and witty nature, but Lani Minella still holds out as my #1 Rouge VA.

Speaking of Rouge, people need to understand that Rouge is not just your stereotypical “sexy female character”. Being flirty and confident is party of her personality, yes, but it’s both of those things that contribute to what is undoubtedly the biggest part of her character: her wits. Rouge can use what her mama gave to manipulate any enemy ever and later physically kick their ass in a matter of seconds. That’s pretty badass, in my book.

Speaking of female characters, Amy is more than her crush on Sonic, and the writers need to figure this out. Amy is a dedicated girl who throws her heart and soul into all that she does, and if she’s ever fighting alongside her friends, she’ll fight to the death for everyone there that she loves. Yeah, she just so happens to be more vocal and physically aggressive than most, particularly when it comes to Sonic, but she is only 12, after all. And even then, her crush has been significantly toned down, which I appreciate, since it means the writers are finally getting it.

Speaking of the writers, I notice that a lot of people complain about Pontac and Graff’s way about writing storylines for a lot of the games recently. And yes, that is true; while I do like the way they write humor, the things I don’t like are the plotholes that seem to stay empty at times, and some minor characterization things. While they do get the big picture about certain characters’ thoughts and actions, it’s the small stuff they seem to overlook, and missing all the small things can add up and make the characters overall attitude in a game seem off.

Speaking of characterization, I’m still bitter about the way they handled Infinite’s backstory. SO MUCH MORE could have been done with him, and yet his motivation for becoming what he became was chalked all up to simply being bored with the current state of the world. I’m not bitter lol

Lastly, let’s get to ships. There are a few that I’m not completely on board with, and shipping Knuckles with Rouge basically tops the list. I always feel like I’m one of the only people on this hellsite that doesn’t ship the two together (anyone who knows me knows that Shadouge is my OTP for the Sonic series). I just feel like there’s a stronger bond and overall sense of closeness that Shadow and Rouge has that Knuckles and Rouge doesn’t. Most of the time, their interactions are generally negative and sometimes even played up for comic relief. I don’t see those kinds of interactions culminating into a relationship, I just don’t.

I’m not on board with Sonaze, either. Sorry guys! I feel like Blaze wouldn’t want to ruin one of her first real friendships with someone who she used to hate. Friendship has become something really special to Blaze, and trying to move beyond it, especially with someone who is not on board with romantic relationships most of the time, would probably not be the best move to make, anyway. I think it’s for the best if she left her friendship as it was.

Shadamy is a little unsettling. Shadow saw a comparison in Amy to Maria in Sonic Adventure 2, right? So at best, I think he sees her as something akin to a little sister figure, just like how Shadow saw with Maria. Also, I haven’t seen much interaction between the two of them since then (with a few minor exceptions, of course). So…how would that make any sense? (It’s through this reasoning that I can’t ship Shadow with Maria, either. Aside from the fact that she’s a literal human. Who is also currently dead.)

With all the times Sonic and Shadow have faced off against each other, I don’t see Sonadow happening. While they do harbor a mutual respect for one other, their personalities clash immensely, and pointing out their shit to each other every time that happens can turn ugly very quickly. The fact that it’s been going on for so long only justifies that reasoning further. (Sorry, guys!)

Phew. Okay. I’m done. Hopefully I don’t get crucified or burned at the stake or anything for this. (Especially that last bit. I swear I’m not homophobic, at least…I try not to be. Anyone who follows me would know that I try to educate myself on any LGBT+ issues as much as I can.)

Uhhh so that’s that. Hope you enjoy reading through all of this!

Why do you love Sonaze so much? Not trying to hate or anything, just curious cause I love it too and am wondering what other people's reasons are for it. P.S I love your art, it's so cute.

Thank you. Hmm…In order to do that, I’ll have to explain howI got into this ship in the first place. It all started when I came across ashipping war between the son//amy and son//ally fans. How I manage to do that,I’ll never know. I wasn’t even in the Sonic fandom at the time. I’ll reblogSonic related stuff every now and then, but not to the extent I do now. Curious,I wanted to know who Sally was and why the war between these two ships existed(at this point, I think we all know why). I learned some things about her andthought she was an interesting character.

Several minutes later, however, I somehow came across arandom Sonaze fan art. Again, I wasn’t part of the fandom and assumed there wasmore between Silver and Blaze (since I’ve seen more videos and artworks of thatship). I later learn that was definitely not the case. After watching aplaythrough of the Sonic Rush series, I learned that Blaze is much more closerwith Sonic and Cream than with any other character in the series. I then came acrossthe infamous shippy scene between Sonic and Percival, read and looked at manyfan-made content and then finally got hooked on this ship.

Now, as to why I like the ship so much it’s…kind ofcomplicated and I have a lot of reasons. I like their interactions in the Rushseries. Many assumed the ship couldn’t work because Blaze would get annoyedwith Sonic’s behavior all the time, but I have yet to see this happen in canon.Really, the only reason why they ever got into a fight in the first place was becauseBlaze was so determined to try to save the world on her own (and she has angerissues). In Rush Adventure, they get along just fine. Another claim against theship was the fact that she’s a princess from another dimension withresponsibilities that Sonic wouldn’t want to have. My response to that claim?Long distance relationship. Also, who says she needs a king in order to ruleher own kingdom when she gets older?

The dynamics between the two is very interesting. In a way,they’re alternate versions of each other. They’re polar opposites that live ina similar but different lifestyle. Sonic is a charismatic extrovert with plentyof friends and a positive outlook in life. He has no real responsibilities,other than to keep the world and everyone he loves safe. Blaze, on the otherhand, is a shy introvert, who unfortunately grew up in an environment that treatedher as an outcast. A princess with a lot of responsibilities, she has quite thetemper and probably had a very cynical outlook in life before she met Cream andSonic. I felt that if done right, these two could have a very strong and uniquebond, be it platonic or romantic. They have good chemistry in the games (Bonuspoints: both can run really fast). I imagined a scenario where they would eachtalk about being the respective heroes of their world and the hardships thatcomes with it. Maybe also see Sonic get excited to learn if Blaze went throughsimilar adventures that he had in the past (crazy forms like the werehog,storybook incidents, etc…).

I’m sure there’s more, but this is all I can think of at themoment. Basically, my love for this ship boils down to the canon material, the appealof the ship, and the potential for these two.
