A headcannon I thought of when I realized my cactus had finally died:
Tails is definitely a plant dad.
He loves plants, he would die for his plants (and I think it has something to do with cosmo? Idk about their relationship, I only watched sonic x because of the memes)
His favorite flowers are peace lilies, and he also loves succulents (and who doesn’t?)
Sonic literally has to beg him not to buy more plants:
Sonic: Tails.
Tails: Yeah?
Sonic: Why is there a fuzzy succulent on the coffee table?
Tails: That’s my new plant! Kalanchoe tomentosa.
Sonic:
Tails: It’s also referred to as “chocolate soldier” or “panda plant.”
Sonic:
Sonic: I told you to stop buying more plants.
Tails: You cannot stop me.

I saw an 18th century mill (and surrounding buildings and land) for sale and all I can think about is how I want to live there with a pile of my friends and our collective kids and pets and assorted guests, grow our own food, raise some chickens and throw a few summer parties in the barn. Anyone got 1.5 million lying around so I can buy the damn thing?
