okay. um. focusing on this scene again-
Whisper does not like hugs. It's a boundary she has- and it's completely fine and respected.
Except Tangle.- In the second photo, it's a group hug. Whisper is only hugging Tangle, because she's only comfortable hugging her- and that's just sometimes, most of the time she doesn't like hugs at all. She barely even hugs Tangle, because Tangle respects her boundaries about hugs. SHE'S NOT EVEN UPSET OR AWKWARD IN THE SECOND PHOTO!!! SHES LITERALLY BLUSHING!!! BECAUSE TANGLE!!! π³οΈβππ³οΈβππ³οΈβπ AND IN THE FIRST ONE!! YEAH CARRY UR GF TANGLE
In the Metal Virus arc, Tangle's death completely broke her and shattered her world.
Because Tangle was her world-
I'm relatively sure Metal Virus is set after Tangle and Whisper,
so it's set right after Tangle sets that trust- right after Whisper finally trusts Tangle with her past, and finally starts trusting her to go on dangerous missions with her-
Tangle dies slowly and painfully infront of her and she has to be physically restrained so she can't jump to try and save her-
So she can't die with her.
She breaks down crying, screaming at the top of her lungs-
And Whisper never screams, she almost never opens her eyes-
And here she's wailing, screaming, eyes wide open.
She just wants Tangle to be alive.
She just wants to be with Tangle.
She just doesn't want to lose another friend.
And it happens, all because of Eggman.
And it's not the first time this happened- He did this to the Diamond Cutters, and now Tangle.
Or, tries, atleast, being stopped by Cream.
But she's completely broken in this arc, and for good reason.
She went through a lot in this arc, and it may very well be my favourite volume in the entire IDW comics.
And let's go back to the first few sentences of this post.
Whisper doesn't like hugs.
Here, Tangle comes back to life.
After everything seemed lost.
It was all brought back, by a last stand, a valiant effort by Sonic and the survivors.
And Whisper pounces on Tangle.
theyRE SO FREAKING CANON MY GODDDDDABSHSHJASN
