       There’s this Sonic AU idea I’d had for so long, and I feel like SOMEONE must’ve done something like it by now since Sonic fans have made every au possible, but I’m sharing it anyway.        The AU was that Amy was also an Eggman robot like Metal Sonic, and that the whole Little Planet fiasco was a bait and switch from the beginning. It would go with how Amy’s classic design (no shade) is basically just Girl Sonic, because it would be pretty characteristically childish for Eggman to think something like that would trick Sonic IMO. Makes the kidnapped girl trope a bit spicier too.        This would also make Amy and Metal like siblings, which is funny with how they would both come out of the experience with wildly different opinions on their target. This wouldn’t be an Amy is evil AU, her seeing that Sonic didn’t rescue her for romantic reasons at all and just because he’s a selfless hero, and not the silly fleabag of hormones Eggman explained him as, would inspire her to leave Eggman behind. Her poor brother was a bit too humiliated and smashed to bits to have this lil revelation.        I thought those origins would be a very sweet motivation for why she would be so obsessed with Sonic, as well as an explanation for her super strength lmao. I mean, inexplicably strong little girls are already funny as hell, but imagine her cute girly demeanor covering up she’s actually lowkey a killing machine? Great stuff. I’ve always wanted more reasons to parallel her and Metal too, and this AU does it through one of my favorite tropes of Robots Learning To Appreciate Life, while still keeping their characters relatively similar. Heck, maybe after Sonic Heroes she can be the one to take Metal in.
