#latin dr robotnik stuff

So, there's this blogger lady who used to be a pretty major voice in the Spanish SonAmy community for at least a decade, and yesterday she posted a new entry about Kishimoto's tweet on SonAmy and the fandom reaction it attracted.

Content warning: I'm gonna discuss some very archaic, homophobic things said in that article.

And so far so good but I started noticing she was getting a bit too aggressive with some tweets and taking Sonic Twitter's daily rancid takes way too seriously, as if it was her first interaction with that part of the fandom. She went out of her way to grab some tweets, debunk them and publicly shame haters. Ok, I guess.

And then, out of nowhere, she went into a tangent about Sonic's canon sexuality and... like... she starts saying a bunch of biphobic shit??? Like, of all things to get mad about Sonic Twitter, she decided to lash out against fans writing about Sonic being bisexual, and she gets very defensive saying "Sonic has been canonically straight since the beginning" and some wacky shit like "if you think Sonic and Knuckles were flirting in Frontiers you should go to therapy because that's a very toxic relationship, and if that's what homosexual love language looks like, then I'm happy to be straight". I'm not fucking kidding you.

And I'm sitting here legit confused because I didn't know where the fuck that came from? Or the fact it was very unnecessary and homophobic on her part to say all of that? Like, what the actual fuck?

The article ends with her writing about Western canon fucking everything up and SonAmy's current canonical status, which is fine but nothing we haven't discussed in the past in the SonAmy fandom. And the whole point of the article was to discuss SonAmy as a canon thing, not to go after bisexual Sonic headcanons! That tangent was fucking horrible.

Tbh I used to look up to that woman because back in the day her blog used to be a shining beacon of light in the Spanish fandom, but man, this was a very rude awakening. I stopped reading her years ago when I began writing my own articles and researching the dynamic on my own terms, and to see her not only repeat points we discussed 5 years ago, but to also fully display her bigotry in this way... damn, what a letdown.

I love SonAmy, it's been my OTP for almost 20 years. I love SonAmy in every way, regardless of canon, gender or sexuality they may be represented. Fuck bigots, homophobes and transphobes in our community. I won't tolerate this shit even if we share a common ship. It is not the way to discuss SonAmy, and that article will certainly not help us at all in the fandom.

Also, as a bisexual myself, the fact I'm the one being told to "go to therapy" for engaging in some fun lighthearted SonKnux shipping stuff instead of the adult woman making a whole scene out of people shipping whatever the fuck they want and rambling about how proud she is to be heterosexual is very amusing to me.

If the thing that triggered this fandom figure so much was people sharing bi!Sonic fanart and headcanons on Twitter, instead of the fact some fans weaponize other ships to constantly attack, harass and "debunk" SonAmy fans, I think the one who has a big problem here is her.

Don't even tell her about transfem!Sonic fanart and mods, she might have a meltdown.

#sonic the hedgehog #sonamy #hello again sonic fandom it's me latin robotnik coming back with a flying kick #thankfully we were able to discuss this on my discord server #and despite some people not picking up what was wrong at first #we were pretty clear to highlight how fucking unnecessary that attack was #at first i was pretty confused talking this with my girlfriend #since we're both bi and suddenly we were being attacked like this for multishipping #but now I'm growing more and more disgusted at the original article #latin dr robotnik stuff

Back to being a sideblog

@latin-dr-robotnik is back at the forefront, so I took funk-forest and brought it back to sideblog status. Nothing else to say, really.

I’ll be using this blog mostly for all my other fandoms and stuff. Mainly gearing up for Season 5 of The Dragon Prince and any other series and games I might come across from now on. Latin Robotnik keeps all the blue hedgehog stuff.

I’d say I would add some Witcher Season 3 posts... but I’m not even certain I’ll watch it, lol.

#funk-forest stuff #new tag too #i'll be keeping both blogs mostly separated #though latin robotnik may still keep all the spark the electric jester stuff since it's sonic adjacent #also if you ever saw my storm-spire blog... well rip to that guy he had to go

Dammit... I was doing fine in life and then @latin-dr-robotnik and @beevean had to get me completely reinvested in the Yakuza series! I adore this stuff and now I’m back...

Thank you @latin-dr-robotnik for tagging me! :D

Three ships: Sonamy, Narumitsu, Connverse

Last song: Rosso Relativo (they played in on TV and my soul was flung into 2001, I had to re-listen to this again)

Currently reading: A book about translation for an exam...

Currently watching: Nothing at the moment, but until the other day I was following Zephyr’s playthrough of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy which has just ended - really good stuff, please check it out!

Currently consuming: I’m about to drink coffee and eat some cookies for breakfast

I tag @spinningbuster98, @dizzydennis, @janiedean and anyone else who wants to do this!

Tagged by @latin-dr-robotnik, thank you! (...I still haven’t done the fictional character thingy, I need to do it at some point haha)

Nickname: “Bébé Rachel” comes often, because I’m stupidly short and baby-faced compared to the person who calls me that

Gender: Female

Sign: Libra ⚖️

Song stuck on my head: Those Nights by Skillet

Sexuality: I have no clue. I’m a weird mix between “super romantic gal who is in love with love” and “don’t try to hit on me or I might hit you”.

Favorite animal: I’d say rabbits, but then again I’m a bit afraid of animals so I can’t decide

Current time: 9:52 PM

Cats or Dogs: Technically a cat would be better because they are low-maintenance compared to dogs, we can leave each other relatively alone, and I can pet them while doing something else. But at the same time a dog gives so much love! So technically I would pick cats since I’m not actually scared of cats (only their claws), but dogs are too wholesome... I can’t choose!

Last movie I watched: I think it was Millennium Actress by Satoshi Kon

Last thing I googled: “Tableau de tri croisé” because I have statistics homeworks, which I hate, and I don’t understand a thing about it, which I hate even more!

Other blogs: Oh so many. I’ve been creating blogs and websites since I was 9, the deep web is full of them 👀

Do I get asks: Sometimes yeah! Especially when I reblog ask memes or make posts about IDW Sonic (sometimes I even get DC-related asks and I’m always super happy about it). Though Tumblr has been eating some of them recently, which is annoying because I don’t know what these asks were: I got the notification then bam, nothing!

Dream Job: Regarding day jobs, none really. I’m figuring it out as I go. But being an author is a consistent dream of mine, which I am working towards

When I created my blog: My first post was on October 30, 2014 but my blog was already months old at this point. I can’t remember the exact date I created it!

Reasons for URL: Loved Sonic (Mobian), was reading Sailor Moon (Sailor), and the “x” was just something I added for some reason

Following: 607. These are mostly blogs about Sonic, DC-related stuff (especially the Batfam), Miraculous Ladybug, and writblrs. But there are a lot of miscellaneous content on my dash haha 💫

Average sleep: I’d say around 9-10 hours per night these days

Luck number: I’ve always had an affinity for the number 3, I don’t know why though

Currently wearing: A black tank top and black pajamas pants

Dream trip: I really want to do a road trip in the US with some friends, that would be awesome!

Favorite food: I live for sushis 🍣

Favorite song: The Middle by Jimmy Eat World. Always puts a smile on my face!

Instruments: I don’t play any, although if I had to choose I’d go with acoustic guitar

I’m tagging @nuttyrabbit, @kiwiszified, @bowlerhatwearer, and anyone who wants to do it!

I'm at this point in my 20s I just log into Tumblr to reblog cool fanart or vent a bit, usually both at the same time.

#latin dr robotnik stuff #it's happening i have lost interest in social media #maybe it's because i spend my time writing about games #or because i went back to uni this year #also real talk starting a new career and having to make new friends all over again is quite the task #I'm pretty sociable and even I'm having a rough time gathering consistent groups for all clases #and it's kinda depressing going into classes alone and not really getting to talk to anyone #anyway back to regular schedule

Scroll too far down Instagram reels and you'll reach international corners of shitpost, the other day I got a French Burger King meme, yesterday I got Brazilian memes, and now I just got Italian shitposting reels

#latin dr robotnik stuff #instagram's algorithm works in strange ways

ngl I watched the final episodes of Sonic Prime with 10 other friends on a Discord call and we did not have fun at all. A shame, really, I actually liked the first batch of episodes a lot, but everything else after that fell short of my expectations...

#latin dr robotnik stuff #I'm sorry but this series lost me back in season 2 with all the filler #and this season did nothing to bring me back #good ship food but i actually felt it a bit forced? #like they needed the fanservice to cover up other shortcomings #anyway I'm not really gonna talk about it from now on #all I'm gonna say is that I'd rather play Forces again #I'm left very unimpressed with the writing

[latin-dr-robotnik]

is it me or are we all kinda falling down a cliff right now?

#latin dr robotnik stuff #i feel like i'm pretending to be okay while also losing my sanity by the minute #it was a growing feeling throughout this year but this last month was something else #far right wing candidate winning the elections pushed me over the limit #my education is now under direct threat by a madman taking over the government #my plans of moving together with my gf suddenly becoming a lot more difficult #ngl it kinda feels like everything's crumbling down #yet here we are and i feel like i'm going crazy or something #post-pandemic has been one hell of a time to be alive

Fuck those fucking YouTube channels spoiling Frontiers shit with the most spoiling thumbnail and title combinations possible. I hope they get fucking run over by SEGA.

#jesus fucking christ can't you just wait two more fucking days guys #for fuck's sake this pre-release wait fucking sucks #I'm so sick and tired of this shit #i have everything muted #i have tons of accounts blocked #i moved to alternate accounts far away of the fucking Sonic fandom #and yet shit like this happens #fuck this shit y'all need to stop for a fucking minute #I'll see you again on Tuesday evening this shit is ridiculous #latin dr robotnik stuff #sonic the hedgehog #sonic frontiers

Not gonna lie, I've been a bit worried about the recent storms. Not because my area is gonna get flooded, but because things in general have been really crazy. Way too much water and strong winds over the past couple of weeks.

We come from one of the driest, worst summers all-around, into this unusually strong rain season. I wonder if winter is gonna be particularly rough too.

#latin dr robotnik stuff #a couple of nights ago the storm woke me up at 6am #harsh winds followed by strong rain and even a short hailstorm #I'd lie if i say I'm not a bit worried

[latin-dr-robotnik]

What the fuck happened to Tumblr on desktop, I log off for a day or so and now it’s so different

#latin dr robotnik stuff #why does it look like condensed twitter now #is this another one of staff's jokes #damn it looks ugly

[latin-dr-robotnik]

Y’know peeps, I think I’m not feeling the Sonic fandom anymore. At least not the English-speaking side of it.

After a couple of years working on providing quality content and meeting tons of new people, I think the Spanish Sonic fandom is my true home. It’s my native language, after all, and I spend more time with people there watching the English-speaking fandom engage in the hot new drama of the week and piling up rancid takes. From what I’ve managed to talk with other fans, this seems to be a shared sentiment across the Spanish and Japanese-speaking parts of the Sonic fandom at the very least. There’s a rapture that keeps growing.

So, I don’t know what I’ll do here. For the past 5 years this has been my gateway into giving back all the knowledge and passion the fandom shared with me, and I won’t erase any archives of those times. But maybe I’ll change the blog substantially and go focus on other media.

I’m still a very big Sonic fan and I think we’re living through some incredible times in the dawn of this new era. But I’m choosing to share this fandom experience in Spanish, be it on Twitter or with my Discord community that I’m quite proud of.

So, you might see me under a different name soon, I don’t know yet. You might see me in the Sonic fandom, or we’ll catch each other in other interests. But I just wanted to let you know how I feel about this place.

#latin dr robotnik stuff #yikes i think i'll have to change my personal tag going forward #ehhh i think it'll be too much of a hassle #i've actually started a secondary blog months ago #but i'm not feeling that one either - at least not for now #so i might just cut to the chase and change my main blog to be more and more multifandom #you might see me already interacting with the hi-fi rush fandom as i keep playing the game #and despite my tdp sideblog i might just go full-on tdp mode when the next season arrives

I want to make this big, special video about Sonic CD for its 30th anniversary next month, since it's one of those games that holds a special place in my heart, but the biggest threat to my plans is that I am also making two big videos about Sonic 1 and 2 before tackling CD, and Sonic 1 is already turning into a massive project that got out of my hands

Will I survive this self-imposed deadline that I'm giving way too much attention? Tune in next month to find out

#latin dr robotnik stuff #the thing about sonic 1 is that so much shit happened during its development #and it's so fascinating to study and present in video form #alongside all the game and level design observations i'm making for each zone #thankfully i dislike sonic 2 so i guess that video will be shorter overall #but i fucking adore sonic cd and that is gonna be another massive project... #just thinking about the many things i want to say about aesthetics and music genres makes me wonder how long it'll be #40 minutes? i'd be glad if it's that short

I'm alive, btw. Just... had a very crazy Sunday ⭐

#latin dr robotnik stuff #i lost my voice yesterday and i have to livestream in about an hour and a half from now #i yelled and cursed and cried and celebrated like no other day #i couldn't eat anything due to the tension #at one point traumatic flashbacks from 2014 passed through my mind #and after that... celebration #entire crowds of people everywhere - I couldn't leave my house due to that #from the very moment it ended until very late in the night #non-stop singing and drinking and celebrating with any and all strangers passing by #some say it was the greatest world cup final ever #i suffered through the entirety of it #but now I'm starting to land back on earth after that crazy day #i live tweeted some pics and clips if anyone wants to see lol

[latin-dr-robotnik]

All my peers are jumping from Twitter to Threads but I have enough Meta crap in my life already with Instagram and Whatsapp, I don't need another shitty platform that I'll probably use a couple of times and then go back to the usual Twitter slop

I'd rather stay on Tumblr if anything, it's better here

#latin dr robotnik stuff #i ain't linking my personal instagram with that twitter clone hell no #let my different personalities stay away from each other
