me hating on something i like: haha fuck yeah!!! yes!!

me watching someone on the internet hate on that exact same thing: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck

watching retrospectives on Sonic Mania and understanding why this meme was created

the fuckers flipped the script on me!!!! everyone was screaming from the rooftops that the IDW comics were the last bastion of good Sonic media and were single-handedly carrying the series but as soon as i decide to hop on and see what all the hubbub is about it's all "oh Ian Flynn is a bad writer, always has been" and it's like what!!!!!

thank you @charlottan for the banger tweet

continuing my Sonic Xcapades (i just came up with that and i'm proud of it and using that as my tag for this watchalong now) and this episode's pretty cut and dry—Sonic and co. take a cruise to the arctic to relax after their adventures, and Sonic is going stir crazy not being able to run any further than the length of the ship. we stan an ADHD king

(not pictured: this hilarious moment after the third image where Sonic silently walks away from Amy and just falls to the ground and curls into the fetal position 💀💀💀 i really wish i had the resources on hand to clip that and make it a gif)

so there's a lot i can't fully show bc of cohost's 4 image limit, but basically Chris called his dad to pick Sonic up, and guess what he does instead of doing that. no go on, guess. actually forget it no matter what you would have guessed you would've been wrong bc he fucking sends a helicopter filled with a retirement home's worth of senior citizens to join the cruise and teach the gang how to "properly relax" and then fucking dips

y'all. i love this show.

this blue motherfucker manipulates Tails and Amy, fucking leading on the latter and using her crush on him against her to devise a scheme to get off the boat

when folks said pre-2010s Sonic used to be an asshole, i just thought they meant he was even more of a cocky smartass. i had no idea Sega would've even toyed with the idea of making him..... like this. i think i love it?????
