here_inmyhead"No. No, you can't. Stop! Please don't go away! Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before! And if you leave, if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you! I do! Look! P. Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do! It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... I'm home! Please. I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget."
I knew there was a reason Dory was my favorite character from "Finding Nemo". I HATED Marlin, but Dory more than enough made up for it, I loved her that much. So when she was all sad and angsty that one time, it really touched me... had me thinking of a lot of things too, relating to life and such.
I always seem to like the cheerful, uppity girl-type characters like Toadette and Dory--they're not screeching teenage brats, nor are they sluts. They're just happy and laid-back... they're in no one's way. Then, there's the guy characters. They seem bitter and cynical and cold, but deep within, they're softies with hearts of gold--Grizzly from "Animal Crossing" and Shadow the Hedgehog, for one. What gets me so drawn to them, anyway?
Maybe it's 'cause I'm a bit like that... I don't know. I mean, in my family, I go along pretty neutrally, and the preps at school are like "OMG y r u so meeeeen!? i tryin' to be ur fr3nd!!!!!!!11" Then there are the people who really know me and don't judge me quickly--they see me as the cheery, squealing fangirl that takes things in stride~ Yep, complete with singsong tilde.
...Maybe that's why I'm starting to like Shadamy. *SPIKE'D!* Note, I only said it was growing on me, I didn't say I actually shipped it full 100%, no questions asked. Yes, I know what you're thinking. "EWW, you like Shadamy!?", "But OMG they lyke, never talked to each other!!1", "OMG TRAITOR!!1 Sonamy/Shadouge/Sonadow 4EVA!!11", "Oh great, you fell into their league." Hold. On.
First and foremost, Sonadow is still my OTP. Which is a funny thing to say after that, considering I take plenty of crap for adoring the ship AND spent 'prolly around a millennia how to present myself to other people that yes, I had more than five braincells and that I wasn't a yaoi furry pr0n fetishist and all the stereotypes stamped with all the scary as hell Sonadow fangirls out there. (Still am, in a way. But not as bad as earlier) That, and I normally find myself liking the weirder ships (Dude, my OTP with Amy is Gamma for Chrissakes) or stuff that's generally well-supported or have zero to none drama anyway. So here I am, being freaked over a popular ship. Okay, Shadamy was probably ONCE obscure, so hence that throws a twist there. So, moving on before it's too late for me to go to bed and I'm up past 1 AM again.
Me, I never liked Sonamy much. Then again, I was never one for one-sided relationships. That, and it feels like nothing more than wish-fufillment, another turn-off in ships for me: it does NOTHING for Amy's character. What, we see her grow, see she's actually worth something beyond the preppy "OMG I LOVE SONIC" girlfriend stereotype, and suddenly, BAM! She wins him anyway and all development flings out the window--it's all been a waste. But that's okay, it's TWU WUV that matters. *rolls eyes* I hate that, and I hate it when I see it happen to characters I like. So I love Sonic, I love Amy... but NOT together.
Shadouge, you can run me through a blender, sit me in for extensive ranting, display the Classic*Fanfiction and Fanart*Gold... I CANNOT see it. Shadow flat-out told her: he didn't LIKE her. ("You're a pathetic creature.") Not only that, Rouge used him and Eggman to get the Emeralds--AND to get information about Project Shadow. You'd think he'd be happy about that? ("You've got what you've come for: take the Fake Emerald, and leave here. It's what you're worth." Wow, shippiest scene in the entire game. *rolls eyes*) So while Rouge does later call him her friend, she still sees him as mostly Project Shadow--and even if she developed feelings for him, it would be one-sided. Finally, if they got together, it would be a downward spiral: they'd just bring the worst out of each other. Shadow would be cold and calculating, Rouge would be encouraged to manipulate him, and there'd be nothing but lies... it's just shameless, destructive lust. And I don't like that.
Sonadow, though... that's free from manipulation. Dude, they fought each other: they have nothing to hide. To Shadow, Sonic isn't the Well-Renowned Hero Who Saves the World TM. Likewise with Sonic--he wouldn't give a damn whether or not Shadow IS the Ultimate Life Form. (At the end of the game: "It doesn't matter--what mattered was he was a good friend, and a true hero! Shadow the Hedgehog...") While the two definitely have rocky issues to handle, it was nowhere near a slap-to-the-face as Rouge was: Sonic's definitely known to get past bad memories, so they can move past being enemies albeit staying rivals. (See: Knuckles, who he's now friends with) Shadow'll take longer, but if anything, it's Maria/his past that bugs him; Sonic's merely an annoyance that likes to pop in his bitter, angsty face now and then. ;D
Another thing about Sonadow: despite supposedly "resenting" the other, they actually stand being in the other's prescence for long periods. I mean, look at Sonamy. Amy comes, Sonic FLEES. Then Shadouge. Rouge chats/flirts a little with Shadow, Shadow basically ignores her until finally he says, "Okay, whatever. Go away Rouge." and leaves. Finally, Sonadow. Sonic pops in with a perky hello, Shadow turns his back on him saying, "You waste my time" and anything similar. Sonic acknowledges he ain't too uppity to see him, but proceeds chatting anyway. Always brief and to the point, too--we never see Shadow clobber him or interrupt and walk away. More often then not, it turns into full-fledged conversation. Ten minutes later... holy frick, they're walking together! And working peacefully! Heck, Shadow doesn't mind. In fact, it even looks like he's happy.
Finally, we get back to the topic we were discussing in the first place: what about Amy? She sees Shadow twice: how's that for a first meeting, love at first glomp? *SHOT'D!* Shadow didn't act like he were being leaped by rabid squirrels ("OMGGETITOFFGETITOFF"), nor did he just brush her off coldly--more like, just stood there, being stunned. (In "Sonic X", he just looked at her coldly. In SA2 however, he smirked evilly at her) The scene aboard the ARK, I thought was sweet.
See, Amy never fought with Shadow or got any fierce rivalries. Nor did she ever use him in any way: she just went and told him it was wrong for him unleash his anger on the world because of horrible people. She understood him that yes, people ARE stupid. They're selfish, nasty beings that did horrible unspeakable things that should make them ashamed they've ever been created. But she tells him there's good in people too, that they care and love and help one another. She reminded him of faith in humanity... which brought to light Maria's real promise.
See, Puri's one of those people who believes Shadow never was evil--just humongously confused. :D Not to mention soft as a marshmallow: he's got all this arrogance and pride, and soooooo apathetic, and underneath he's dedicated and loyal, and a real sweetie,And all the Chao love him, much to his dismay.
Heck, if I'm going to pair Shadow with anyone, let it be someone who brings those hidden qualities out of him--Sonic promotes more joy and stableism, and overall being so much more alive. Amy, I can see her bringing up his soft, protective side. It's cyute, I tell you! Cyuuuuute~! Shadow needs someone who believes in him, loves him for who he is, help him heal and move from the past. Someone who will help him grow. Someone who will make his world. Someone who will make him happy as Maria did. Someone who will make him happy like he promised others.
Sonic & Amy can fit the bill. ;D

Date: 2005-12-12 12:11 pm (UTC)You make so many good points, Puri. @.e;; I completely agree with you about Shadouge and Sonamy. How do you get the time to think all of this through?? XD!
Although I do agree that Amy would probably be able to bring out a lot of good in Shadow, I just...I guess that I don't see the two together very well. I don't even know why I think this.. maybe, because I think the only girl who Shadow would ever be able to open up properly to would be Maria? Really haven't given this enough thought.. ^^;;
I'm not even sure who I can image with Amy. Perhaps, Knuckles? Or Mighty? Or even Fang. Oh gods FANG <3 <3 Considering I've been a hardcore shipper for all these years, it's surprising how little thought I've given to other pairings. *lame*
Shadow needs someone who believes in him, loves him for who he is, help him heal and move from the past. Someone who will help him grow. Someone who will make his world. Someone who will make him happy as Maria did. Someone who will make him happy like he promised others.
I believe that, if anyone, Sonic would be the person to do those things for Shadow. I really, truly believe this. *shameless~* Right from the beginning, Sonic and Shadow together seemed natural to me. I didn't even have to think about it, it just clicked, and that's never happened with any other pairings I've liked before. Wow, I really am so.. sad... XDDDDDD!
Okay, I really must stop procrastinating now. X3; <3

Date: 2005-12-13 12:28 am (UTC)Oh, me, I have a lotta spare time. Thinking's my hobby. ;D No problem... I can understand the bit with Amy, like with what Chicobo mentioned below. In fact, for a while I didn't think I could see him with Amy for a while, 'cause I was worried it seemed too much like a replacement ship for Shadow. (Though thankfully, I realized it's not. XDDD;;;) I've imagined this fun little conversation, though...
Shadow: Oh my gosh, Maria is dead, I can never love another woman agaiiiiiin~! T____T
Sonic: ...So, how about men?
Shadow: ...I hadn't thought about that. *DADADADAAAA*
Amy/Fang? Whoo, now that's a new one! XDDD Speaking of Fang... feel free to use this icon for your LJ. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/insanepurin/Sonic%20Icons/fangmadhere.jpg) My treat. ;D
Yes, it's magiiiic~! *_____* There's just this spark, and they just click together like birds of a feather for me, like colorful threads on a woven tapestry, and EEEEEEEEEeeeeeee~! Oh, I'd say I'm faaaaaaaaaaar sadder. XDDD;;;

Shadow: *thoughtful* You know what, Sonic? That isn't such a bad idea..
Sonic: Oh? Really?? *eager*
Shadow: Yes. I'll start with Knuckles~ *skips off*
And poor Sonic is left standing alone. XDD!! Sorry, had to add that there.
Hehe! X3 Yeah, I love Fang. I thought maybe him and Amy, or... him and Sonic... :3 *helpless* And, aww!! What a nice treat, thank you very much! ^-^ <3

"Come with me little girl I have some CANDEH >:D" or that icon "Wanna go for a ride, little girl?"
I dunno about ShadRouge. It depends how it's handled. I adore ShadRouge and have seen some pretty good ones, I think Rouge has a soft spot for him despite her Rougeness - I mean, they interacted a lot in SA2, and in Heroes the first thing Shadow did was defend her. And she didn't seem too upset about that, did she? ;p (Rouge: Nice ass~) I haven't played Battle nor finished playing Shadow, so I'm just going off of what I see in SA2 and Heroes and so far in Shadow. And I think Rouge has some insecurities deep down that Shadow could help with ;p and maybe vice versa.
I agree with you on Sonamy, for the most part, though I like Sonamy, it really depends on how it's done. Definately not with Amy the rabid fangirl. I do also enjoy Shadamy but I dislike Sonadow and probably always will ;p
no subject
Date: 2005-12-12 11:45 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'm not saying I'm against the fanfiction/fanart: I've seen plenty of stuff that impresses for ships I don't even like. :) I dunno, I thought the times he was defending Rouge, he was being nice. XDD You have a point about the insecurities... that's one nifty thing. I can see 'em working together okay, it's just that as a ship, Shadow and Rouge click very wrong for me. XDDD;;
Now developed, mature Amy, that's what I'd like to see if Sonamy were to happen. As for Sonadow, nothing I can do about that. XDDD But as for the former ship... *shifty grin* I have some lollipops in the back of mah trunk... want some? :o
no subject
Date: 2005-12-12 11:53 pm (UTC)Well, I meant, it depends on how you interpret Rouge. And even Shadow.
I think it was more than just that, personally, it was like - the absolute first thing he did, and I haven't seen him defend anyone else like that. And also, didn't Rouge bring him to her appartment in Battle? ;p he seemed devoted to her in Heroes, and she seems to him as well, though she may not want to admit it. Like the "Did I ever tell you Shadow's a robot, Omega?" she was sad ;-; and I got the feeling she was holding back to GUN, but that may be just me.
Yes :0 XD; Dirty old man :0

Date: 2005-12-12 09:08 pm (UTC)Sonamy isn't as bad as you think, Sonamy can actually work! You just have to get Sonic to sit down, and listen to what Amy has to say. You ever notice Amy is STRONG? o.o You ever notice Amy quite protective? o.o She displays these traits in very scary ways, but they are there X^D A younger Amy like we see presently is gonna rabid fangirl, but she's not gonna be like this forever and Sonic isn't always going to run away from Amy. Eventually Sonic is going to have to stop and listen. I think it would be rather touching for Sonic to hear all the sincere words Amy will have for him (and trust me, she does have plenty to say :^D). The problem is of course, getting Sonic to SIT STILL and Amy to CALM DOWN X^D; Both of these instances are likely to not to occur for a long while n.n;
Re: :^O
Date: 2005-12-12 11:57 pm (UTC)but was it still one-sided? *DADADADUN* *SHOT'D!*When did Rouge remind him of Maria, though? Amy, I can understand, because he was directly reminded, but Rouge? I always saw that scene where Rouge got stuck on Prison Island 'cause she was in peril, and well... that brought flashes to when Maria was in peril. And lots of people get in peril. XDDD;;;I'm still waiting for Amy to grow around Sonic. XDD;;; Maybe how it's presented, yes: I haven't really payed attention to Shadamy until I was shown by a friend in another light. (Me: "...Whoa. Hadn't thought that before. That's really interesting. :D") And yes, I don't deny I found some pretty cute Sonamys I couldn't resist faving at DA. 'Course, I seem to be most amused and happy when it's stuff like Amy in a wedding dress dragging a Gagged*Tuxedo Sonic behind her in chains, but... that's me. XDDDD;;;

You hit the nail on the head, seriously. Shadow needs someone who can bring him out of his angsty little shell, and I think Sonic is one of the characters who can do that. Sonic definitely brings out the competitive side in Shadow, ne? XD
Their conversation in Sonic Battle (on Shadow's story) made me go "awwww" because Sonic was trying to convince Shadow he and Emerl weren't weapons and all. "Maybe you two should play games or something?" XDD
Amy seems like a character who could bring something out in Shadow as well. I mean, Shadow actually shed a tear while Amy was convincing him to help. "I have to keep my promise to Maria - and to you." Eeeee~! :3 Yeah, Shadow could become softer with some help from Amy, I believe.
I dislike Shadow/Rouge as well. Nothing ever clicked for me, except for that one part in SH when she showed sympathy for him when he was looking at the, er, android. She looked so sad for him, y'know.
I don't think she's quite as...nasty as she was in SA2 - she seems to have a kinder heart now - but she's still very manipulative and somewhat greedy. So, I can't see anything between them happening.
*end of rant*
no subject
Date: 2005-12-13 02:31 am (UTC)Exactly! ;D And oooh, now that you mention it, with Sonic to compete with, he's got something to be determined over and think about other than the angst. ;D (All the better for Sonic, too: poor guy says he never likes racing 'cause no one could keep up with him... then, Shadow came! *DADADADDUUUUN!*)
Awww...! T____T It's times like this I wish I played "Sonic Battle", though I'm humongously lazy and don't feel like renting it at the moment. XDDD
Yes~! She made him criiiiiiy! T_______T It was the most adorable thing EVER, and only she was able to do that...
Yeah, Rouge has been nicer since SA2--it definitely shows in "Shadow". *nodnod* She still has plenty to work on though, and in a way, is misdirected like Shadow is... just that it isn't a good idea to have them sort inner demons together. XDDD;;;
(That, and I always saw Rouge with Knuckles anyway, and it's got NOTHING to do with the Knuxouge vs. Shadouge shipwar whatsoever: I decided how I felt about these ships before I got in the fandom. *nodnod* XDDD)no subject
Date: 2005-12-14 10:54 pm (UTC)Anyways, here's a cute little clip of the conversation...XDD
(Shadow explaining Emerl's true power and his awakening and how he's going to destroy the world, blah blah blah)
SONIC: ...What about you? You say he's the ultimate weapon, but weren't you supposed to be the military's secret weapon? Maybe you've forgotten, but I seem to recall you saving humanity at some point...
SHADOW: ...That was for Maria. -_-
SONIC: Exactly! If you had a heart, you'd never use your power for evil! There's no way you could! Weapons aren't supposed to have hearts, but you and Emerl do! You guys...you aren't just weapons!
