AO3 being down is the single greatest failing of this whole situation because DEAR GOD I JUST KNOW EVERYONE IS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH FOR EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN METAL SONIC SHIP RIGHT NOW.
I CAN ALREADY TELL
THERE'S GONNA BE A DAMN LANDSLIDE FOR HIM.
Sonic can't show any kind of emotion, he can't emote, he can't express himself, he can't laugh, he can't reminisce, he can't smile fondly, he can't do ANYTHINNNGGGG because its like a heckin' mischaracterization!!!! its so idw bro!!! so cringe and bad!!!
