Noticing the current state of Sonic ships, Sega will tease ships, but won't make any ship an official couple.
In the games, there have been ships teased and hinted at in terms of feelings (most notably SonAmy and SonElise)
But Sonic has never been in an official relationship, and I personally feel it's for the best. Being in an official romantic relationship just isn't Sonic's thing, he isn't one to settle down in canon. But it doesn't mean a ship can't be teased or feelings can't be hinted at.
Even recently with Sonamy, I think Sega found a good middle ground. It's heavily teased to please shippers since it's a popular ship. But it won't really go beyond that. Nothing is made concrete in terms of them being a couple in order to not divide the fandom.
Most SonAmy moments usually end up being up to interpretation, you can see it as something romantic, or Sonic caring for someone he has a soft spot for and him reading the room. It's probably left open since Sega isn't choosing to make them an official couple, yet still wants to tease them.
Sonic is still canonically single (confirmed Morio Kishimoto, and Naoto Oshima also said Sonic would have "a boy's heart forever"), and is likely to stay that way. And it's most in character for Sonic in canon imo to not be in a romantic relationship with someone officially.
[This piece is a mere abstract interpretation of a conversation between Spike and Niah while the 'sun' slowly sets on Mars, which is where the surrounding theme of twilight in their story takes place. Originally in my mind, I would have drawn Niah in a gown with a pink sheer kimono falling off her shoulders, but I decided to go with something casual such as high-waisted pants, tank, and a button-down shirt for this variation. ]
It's a languid, moony scene where Spike walks into her yard to find her lounging on a lawn chair, sipping on some red wine and enjoying the scenery of her garden. She doesn't appear to realize his presence quite yet, as her mind was lost in the enchantment of a daydream for a while now, making her lose partial focus on reality. But for just a moment, Spike stands still to bask in the quiet scene, eyes half-lidded beneath the shadow of his curly fringes as he watches her swallowed up in touches of red and green, smoke from his cigarette swirling across his vision. Spike can only admire from afar. At a distance. With a heart that aches at the sight of her. A heart full of yearning, tastes bittersweet upon his tongue, like forbidden fruit he desires to take a bite out of for just a measly taste. A simple drop of sweet wine that taints her lips a blushing red.
Never ever going to get over how it was raining so hard that the whole sky darkened while Ruby was looking at Penny's sword, but the second she speaks up to decide their next course of action the rain recedes immediately.
Actual, literal showcase of Ruby compartmentalizing her emotions so she can get shit done. Like even before she knows where to go next she's like "ok that's enough being desperately sad, time to do the leader thing."
I just did a bit of googling and would like to make everyone share in what I’ve just found: Julie Molina, based on a rough timeline would’ve turned 15 soon after her mom died, quinceaneras are held at 15. And based on some really quick research, a celebration meant to signify a girl coming into herself as a woman, and wouldn’t that have been such a punch in the gut right after her mothers death it’s likely she just skipped it altogether
My mind has been plagued with this au so now I'm making it everyone else's problem as well :)
This time I started thinking more about the main cast and how this au would actually look like in a "sonic" game. Took inspiration from a few of my favorite games to have missions be separated into 2 parts, a high speed intro where you're trying to get to your destination (KIU style), and then the rest is a side scroll puzzle oriented crawl (Think metroid but with much less backtracking to keep the pace fast).
personally i believe a theme of S3 is going to be about absolutely schooling aziraphale.
i love that angel sm but as much as crowley has his things to learn he knows what’s Up, literally. aziraphale will be schooled every episode and it will hurt him (and us) but he will grow and there will inevitably have an ending where both of them were just enough right about things to come together and make Things right
