Could you maybe say what you like about sonjet? I’ve been intrigued by it but never really seen much aside from the one-sided stuff. I’m curious :3

I love so many things about them, from their similarities to my silly thoughts about their color matching

They're cool, and I love this.

I think Jet is best Sonic's rival in terms of rivalry itself. They're both competitive, and I love to think it's not about races only. Like gaming, hot pepper eating competition, or something like that. It's fun! They're always up for a challenge. They both love it, and they both DO respect each other.

Although my fanart mostly about them chilling or something like that but I really love this side about their relationships, too. Like staying after races, going somewhere together, or getting a meal in a fast food restaurant. This kind of feeling.

I hope I can express this and other feelings vividly in my drawings one day. And this isn't about sonjet only.

Sigh

I'm so tired of sonjet exes

ok time to get mad about one more thing, pardon the waveisms.

there’s nothing that pisses me off more than when people compare sonic and shadow’s running speed to that of machine-based racing speed.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT FUCKING TALENT TO HAVE.

“oh sonic can run faster/shadow can teleport to space” yeah okay and i can beat usain bolt in a race if i hijack air force 1.

it’s not about the speed itself but the craft of achieving a better time. riding extreme gear is a separate skill that relies on balance, coordination, and often physical advantages (fly types breathing better in high altitudes for trick based boosts vs power characters who use a ricocheting effect with melee thrust advantages)

sonic doesn’t WANT to just “beat jet” by running faster. he keeps trying to race him on extreme gear because it’s a different fucking skillset that he’s trying to improve at, particularly because jet has trained all his life and is the overall reigning champion.

sonic sometimes beats him as a sidegig if you play the heroes campaign which doesn’t necessitate a set canon, but this is jet’s whole career.

show the babylon rogues some fucking respect and miss me with that chaos control shit.

a part of me gets really annoyed when mainline sonic fans talk about jet in reductionist ways when comparing him to other sonic rivals.

sonic values jet as a rival arguably more than ANYONE. he befriends shadow. he befriends knuckles. he dismisses one-off aracters like johnny and swifty as monsters of the week.

sonic gets UNREASONABLY pissed with jet, and yet he’s simultaneously addicted to racing him. in one scene they are flirting (“i couldn’t even touch you out there!” “well try harder!”) and in the next, sonic is frothing at the mouth ready to grab a hunting rifle.

anyways, all this to say that when jet says shit like “i’m the fastest thing in the universe!” or “no one comes close to me!” he is entirely taking the piss. it riles sonic up and sonic likes it because it allows him to get cruel and competitive, something he can’t always do as a hero.

people focus so much on jet’s ego, yet they haven’t played the multiple games where he loses humbly, and shows a lot of respect towards sonic regardless of the outcome. whenever wave tampers with sonic’s gear, jet demands a rematch. when he loses to sonic, he accepts this and says he’ll have to keep practicing to do better next time. he’s disappointed, but uses it as motivation to be better as an individual!

anyways, take a look at just one of the mission logs:

STOP writing jet as impulsive and unnecessarily rude. he’s slightly out of touch and has angry outbursts, but so do a LOT of sonic characters and no one ever makes it their defining personality trait.

jet isn’t a brat. he works hard at what he does, and honours the cultural traditions passed down to him from his ancestors. THAT is why he’s competitive, it’s tied to his identity.

here’s just a glimpse of his desperation in sonic universe with regards to his sense of self and babylonian heritage:

he’s willing to rely on wave’s programming, with the looming threat of a black hole, just to have a CHANCE at understanding where he comes from. it’s not arrogance, it’s not ego. this is EXISTENTIALISM.

oh, and if you want to keep misquoting his ego as one-dimensional arrogance, i’m just a few panels away here:

“jet always talks about being the fastest thing in the universe” it’s not factual, it’s motivation. it’s what he tells himself so he can be better than who he was yesterday.

when sonic proves him wrong, he grins and KEEPS GOING.

and y’know what? THAT’S why sonic keeps going back.
