"'your fave Annon is LA'"

HELL YEAH!! IT IS!!

I suspected it and then confirmed it when said Annon didn't say a peep when we called out G house and garage filled with people while Juni is there and then pointed Grant travelling to NYC days after their child was born

Annon-Guy: Sonic - Thanks for answering that Darunia. It makes sense, but I hope it's not weird that I'm a big TaiSmo and SonAmy fan 😊. As for Amy and Marta, they would definitely get along as friends, but if it's Post-Game Marta, she would see a lot of her old self in Amy and try to give her advice about pulling back (she would understand what that means by than). Also, Sonic is only 3 years older than Amy (Sonic is 15 and Amy is 12), so it's not that huge of a gap.

(Relevant to this post for context for future me and other peeps.) Nah, man, ship what ya like. If anything I’m probably an outlier in the Sonic Fandom because I actually like Big the Cat and next to Chris Thorndyke from the Sonic X series, Big is one of the most hated characters in the Sonic series. TaiSmo and SonAmy are, like, pretty mainstream ships. The only others I can think of are Sonic x Shadow, Silver x Blaze and Shadow x Amy with Knuckles x Rouge being pretty popular too but mostly because everyone’s thirsty for Rouge. I like the dynamic Sonic and Amy have in Sonic Boom a bit better because Amy acts a bit less like a petulant child when she can’t have all of Sonic’s attention and actually has hobbies outside of just... being Sonic’s girlfriend. Yeah, their age gap isn’t THAT big. But it flies in the face of what the culture of the USA deems comfortable. IRL, if they were in a schooling situation, they’d only be at the same school for 3-5 out of the 13 years they’d be school-aged and that’s... not a lot. Granted that’s a WEIRD framework, but the USA has a weird script for teen romance that usually involves them growing up together so in the USA at least, it’s framed as “weird.” The relationship is also right on the cusp of Amy technically being a child and Sonic technically being a teenager and that makes people uncomfy. There’s a sort of internet shipping “rule of thumb” in the west that generally seems to work for separating age gaps that people find comfy and age gaps that people don’t. Half the eldest member’s age and add 7 years and that’s the youngest the character “should” be dating or paired with. So 15 yo Sonic would be 15/2= 7.5+7=14.5. So generally the age gap people would be comfortable with Sonic in would be with someone basically his own age. Age gap problems tend to be less of an issue when both characters are adults. Add 10 years and Sonic becomes 25 and Amy becomes 22. 25/2= 12.5+7= 19.5. Amy’s well over the age people would generally be comfortable with Sonic dating. Now, granted, relationships are more than math problems. Age is just a number and it’s not a magical one. The number 15 isn’t magically magnetically repelled by the number 12. The reason that age gaps are a problem in real life is because a middle-schooler and a high-schooler generally have different levels of agency IRL. A 12-year-old is barely at an age where you might start giving them more adult chores like grabbing groceries from the corner store on the way home from school while a 15-year-old is almost at an age where you start teaching them to drive in the USA. If Sonic was 16 and Amy was 13 (which, I think, as of Sonic Heroes, are their canon ages?) Sonic would be able to drive and basically be allowed to do most things on his own, might even have his own job or whatever, and Amy would just start having more adult responsibilities. Now, of course, most of this doesn't matter, because Sonic and the others take a leaf out of the book of Japanese social norms. Kids are afforded more agency and responsibility because it’s expected that the community will help them if they need help. And even then, the Sonic series plays VERY fast and loose with norms from real life, to the point where Tails, an 8-year-old, can drive vehicles and fly planes and Amy regularly goes shopping by herself and Sonic probably only ever drives for fun because he can run literally faster than the speed of sound. Like, everything’s clearly loosey-goosey in the Sonic world. But kind of like how Sonic 2006 had that whole kiss with Sonic and the human woman and everyone (in the USA at least) thought it was weird, Sonic and Amy have an age gap that’s going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. But, like, at the end of the day, they’re cartoon hedgehogs and their world is different enough from our world that a fox can not only fly with or without a plane, but people trusted him driving the Tornado 2 around on a dang freeway to chase after the freaking President and no one really batted an eye. So, like, I have no problem with the ships, I just understand that in the USA there are many avenues by which the ships (in this case, SonAmy) is considered “probmelatique.” But, like, honestly, Amy Rose can wield a giant hammer and has most of the brain cells in the main Sonic crew, (Next to Tails maybe, but Tails seems to have only tech brain cells. He’s a kid by most other metrics, he’s just a tech wiz.) So, like, I can totally buy that the power dynamic between Amy and Sonic is pretty equal despite the age difference. I just understand the visceral reactions people would have to that age difference. It’d be cool if Rays’ Marta (The best version of Marta IMHO) talked some sense into Amy about Sonic while they were out shopping and they became best buds. Marta would be a cool big sis type to Amy.

Lost

It’s a Monday. The day I USUALLY post a new chapter... and I don’t have one. I finished Surrounded by Fire and now I’m bouncing between two different ones. I’m also extremely tired and getting ready to send my kids back to school. The littlest is gone this year too. So it’s all kinda surreal at this point.

Anyways, I just want to let you all know, I’m ok. Been a bit dark lately and shit is still majorly up in the air BUT I’m swimming. With that being all said my prompts are open, my ask is open and annon is on. 

*fingers cross* I will have something new for you all NEXT Monday. I’m even revisiting Relief and looking at getting that baby wrapped up. So all you patient peeps who love it, I see you, I hear you and I”m trying for you. AND I will be teasing a brand new long fic. AND (heheh) I will be publishing a BRAND NEW book by Oct. 1

*whew* with all that, I want to thank you all so much for standing by me, reading my work and leaving so many amazing kudos, likes, reblogs and my personal fav: comments. I see you all, and I want to hug you all!!! 

Thank you for hearing my rant. I’ve linked the fics I’ve mentioned on the name, click it for more. I am here, I’m working and there is always more to come. Cheers!

Sanvi appears eyes glowing dark grey her aura sends a chill up the spine of every living thing in the room she wields a dark grey demonic blade Renaphale appears shortly after eyes glowing golden her bow pointed at the annon you messed with our friend and the ones he cares about prepare for a fight mean annon -Sanvi the demon and Renaphale the angel

See that, anon? How’s that for “unloved and unwanted”, huh? 

I haven’t heard a peep from ‘em since the first ask. Looks like they’re too much of a coward to actually stick around. But honestly, what more do you expect from someone like that?

[goron-king-darunia]

Annon-Guy: Even though I'm not a huge EmilXRichter fan (TBF, you and the others aren't huge EmilXMarta fans and I have a great time with you), what sort of things would you include in a Richter path? (Sorry about the idea to remove the Stop Marta choice BTW. That was purely me being Marta-centric and that was wrong.)

I’m not really sure. The side quests with Richter are already very good so I want those stating pretty much the same as they already are. Maybe I’d have another prompt set up to remind players that the sidequest can be started. I always forget when the trigger is and I missed the Richter sidequests my first time around. So maybe once you get into town and the trigger happens it could remind you with a skit like “Oh, yeah, Richter mentioned now would be a good time to meet up. If I want to see what he’s up to, I should go back to Hakonesia Peak now.” Like, IDK why, but something about getting to Izoold always makes me forget to go back to visit Richter. XDIn the final sidequest, Richter still isn’t sure Emil is Ratatosk, but he knows something is wrong with Emil, going so far as to ask Tenebrae if Emil was really Emil. I think it would be interesting if, by making certain choices, you could dissuade this assumption. For example, if you only do Richter’s side quests and not any with Marta, if his affection for you would increase enough that he would go completely loveblind. Instead of being suspicious that Emil is actually Ratatosk, he could continue pleading for Emil to cut ties with Ratatosk. Some hints of romantic development. But he’d go absolutely insane once he figures out during the second Ain Soph Aur incident that there’s no other explanation besides Emil and Ratatosk being one and the same. Or at least, they share the same body. I think it would be interesting if that choice made the final boss fight even harder because Richter did say “If my suspicions about Emil are true, that will only make my hatred stronger.” Richter would feel absolutely gutted and betrayed if he discovered Emil, who had been kind to him, was Ratatosk, the spirit who took everything he loved away from him.For purely selfish reasons, I’d like a skit (possibly involving a minigame) where Emil cooks for Richter or cooks with Richter in an attempt to teach the idiot scientist man how to feed himself. XDAlso a skit with Emil introducing Richter to his monsters and just... handing Richter furry and scaley creatures and Richter just... melting from cuteness or trying to hold it together while 100 monsters just nibble, peck, and rub against him.Also, the most selfish of all. Hot spring scene with Richter. He and Richter just chill in the water together and talk about Richter’s interest (or lack thereof) in romance.Something like:“So, uh, Richter?”“Mmm?” Richter has a reclining sprite just for this. He’s just 100% committed to enjoying the water.“Have you ever been uh... have you e-ever been in love?”“You’re speaking of Marta, I assume?” Richter grunts (like an idiot because at this point if Richter’s quests are the only ones you did, he should be catching on that Emil likes him. XD)(Depending on if you did Marta’s quests all the way or not at all, Emil can either blush and nod, shrug, or shake his head.)Richter does the hair-flip gesture. “Well, whatever the case, I’m sorry to say I’m not going to be much help in that area.”“No advice f-for me at all?”“... Roses, chocolates, romantic letters... those all tend to go over well with people in general. But if you have to ask me for advice, it probably means you don’t know enough about whoever you’re trying to woo to think of a more creative gift.”Emil blushes again.“Anyway, it’s not like I have much experience in that department. I told you I wasn’t going to be much help.”“It’s alr-right.”Bonus points if you can see Aqua in the bushes (probably peeping at them, but maybe just eavesdropping) half-visible and she’s just shaking her head because they’re so dumb. Bonus Bonus points if you can buy chocolates and flowers later in the game and offering them to Richter or Marta confirms which romance you’d like to pursue. Otherwise, it’s just Richter and Emil being dumb oblivious boys who don’t know how to admit they’re at least a little gay for each other. (Or in Emil’s case, bisexual since pursuing Richter doesn’t automatically cancel out any effort you put into Marta at this point.)@actualaster Anything to add?
