Hello 'u'

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

The Sonic franchise, within canon, has kept ships alive on crumbs since the beginning of time, with one small exception, which isn’t even that much of an exception, for Sonamy , since Amy Rose doesn’t have as many barriers when it comes to openly expressing her romantic feelings for Sonic .

So, a franchise that almost always only deals with romance when it is coded, and that has a consistent pattern of never firmly establishing anything, goes and gives Rouge *yet another* emotionally charged dialogue directed at Shadow , but this time has her directly associate her emotional speech with Amy, whose image is directly associated with romantic love for Sonic.

Within this extremely specific and restricted context, people still try to convince us that Rouge’s comparison is completely neutral. LOL

You may not see romantic undertones if you don’t want to, but the coded space for a romantic interpretation is unequivocally there. And Sonic Team and SEGA usually work with material far subtler than this.

That said, as a shipper: Shadow Generations is a Shadouge game.

Well, there’s not much to argue about when it comes to preference. If you prefer one dynamic over the other, that’s completely fair.

But I actually find it interesting that Shadow isn’t a romantic person in the conventional sense. To me, that doesn’t make romance impossible for him. In fact, it’s one of the reasons Rouge works so well: their dynamic already feels so natural that he wouldn’t need to become overly affectionate or act out of character for a romance to work.

It’s kind of like Vegeta and Bulma in Dragon Ball. Vegeta doesn’t need to become a traditionally romantic character for it to be obvious how much she means to him. To me, that kind of romance fits someone like Shadow, and someone like Rouge, much better.

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

Well, in that case it really is just a matter of taste, and I respect your preference. ^^

In my case, I think that, among other reasons, since Shadow is the only one with whom she’s had emotional development built up over the years, he also feels like the only ship that truly respects her as a person.

Like, someone Rouge could actually end up with without giving off that weird vibe of, “Alright, since you kept insisting with all that flirting and bothering me, I guess we can be together.”

But I’ll admit that this part is purely a personal feeling of mine. No one has to share that impression.

@clarahkyx Don’t be sad, join us. 💕

Look how Rouge's heart gets all warm with Shadow, just like Amy’s does with Sonic. She deserves to feel that warmth in her heart too. 🤍🖤 🩷💙

You’re going to be very loved by us. u_u

What can you do when this hedgehog manages to soften her teasing heart and make it as tender as Amy Rose’s?

Shadouge is my Sonamy of Team Dark. 🖤🤍 💙🩷

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@LilUmiVertx This one warms the heart. 🥰

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@deimosess Thank you, you’re always so kind. 🙏🏻

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

I also really like this ship because it avoids the whole “good girl fixes the bad guy” dynamic, or vice versa.

They both have controversial morals, and their sense of right and wrong is pretty gray, but together they bring out the best in each other.

I think that, unlike Sonic and Amy, Shadow and Rouge are deeply imperfect. But just like them, they’re perfect for each other.

@Mama_Pooks He’s guarded and acts tough, but he needs her care. 🖤

She’s powerful and independent, but she loves his protection. 🤍

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@Mama_Pooks I’m already fighting for the platinum trophy. The prologue, that dialogue, and the scene of Shadow crying were absolutely magnificent to me. 💓💓

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@Mama_Pooks I even got a little shy.

[but i’d like to just pretend…🤍 🌼 @sonicstarrr]

anybody in the Sonic series who directly says “lol I’m kinda like Amy right now” is waving a big red flashing sign to the audience that yes, the story is romantic (in varying degrees depending on context)

Shadgens is 100% a shadouge game in so many ways.

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@Deedeez165 It’s okay, I just wanted to be a little dramatic for comedic effect. -q e__e

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@Deedeez165 Oh... sry

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

@AngeldeLys @Mama_Pooks I genuinely think your idea is perfect. *O*

[Miranha @_AzzoK_]

The funny thing is, I just checked her LEGO bio, and all it says is that she likes driving him up the wall while trying to steal the Master Emerald. LOL.
I’ve seen so many people bring that up, only for me to finally check it and find out there’s really nothing different about it.Besides literally calling Knuckles her “frenemy,” which is just friend + enemy.

And this is him having so much fun with that idea of hers for over 20 years, *while threatening her with violence:*
