#sonamymisdeeds

I remember WendyAtticus fairly well as she was one of the major players in Kill-Sally-Club that traumatised me pretty bad. P sure she was either the admin or creator.

I don't know how old she was at the time, but she seemed pretty consumed by herself in a really bad way. I don't want to call it narcissism. I'm pretty sure it was just her finding a large audience looking for Sonic content, and Anti-Sally/Sonally content because the latter was hip at the time. There was something about her smugness and matter-of-fact behavior towards how awful, snobby, commanding, etc. her interpretation of Sally was, and how Sally fans were push-overs and a laughing stock that always infuriated me. Most of the people involved were literally kids just wanting to defend a character they liked. Most didn't even hate Amy or Sonamy until said fans just started harassing them.

Funnily enough, she came across just as snobby as she thought Sally was. I mean, she threatened to report people for screenshotting a low-effort Flash game. Bit ironic, innit?

Hate how SEGA proves people like Wendy right these days by refusing to acknowledge the character. Sally always deserved so much better. She really was born into the wrong kid's cartoon. :(

Here is a screenshot of the actual quote made by Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team, stating that Sonic will not settle for a marriage any time soon and that Amy is meant to always go after Sonic without ever achieving his affection back.

You wanna know something important? This doesn’t mean that you can’t or shouldn’t ship Sonamy, because you can ship what you want. Sonic fans can be incredibly creative people and they’ve done a lot of amazing things.

Make your own story. Make your own game. Make your own comic. It’ll be amazing, because it came from you.

Just because your favorite thing isn’t canon it doesn’t mean you should harass employees or people that disagree with you. You do you, because you are great! Don’t be like the people on the blog!

I’ve cropped out the names and icons here, but as I was looking at pictures of Tails and Cosmo I found this... interesting conversation.

Sorry for the formatting. Here’s what it says:

Sonamy Fan: Cool! Taismo picture! Nice! :) Can you make a sonamy picture please? User: No. Sonamy Fan: No?! Why not?! People will love it! User: I don't like it. Sonamy Fan: But people will like you for doing it and making sonamy pictures. Think of how many people and sonamy fans would love it. User: NO NO NO NO Sonamy Fan: Well give this message to Sally. If she wants to live, let Sonic and Amy be together. That monkey king is good enough for that squirrel. User: And I thought fanbrats don't exist anymore. Btw, Sonic and Sally are back together. Khan can go get Amy. Why? Khan is a much better lover than Sonic - and he's not as busy so Amy doesn't even need to chase him. Amy desires a good lover that ALWAYS spends time with her - and thats Mr "Monkey King". </opinion> Sonamy Fan: Sonic and Amy will be together forever. Sally is fake. If you think that's a lie, then you're STUPID!!!!! User: Screenshotted.

Same, buddy. Sure, this is from 2012, but this is pretty messed up. Again, I’m sad that so many shipper feel the need to protect their pairing by hating anyone that might be in the way of it, instead of just enjoying it.

The Sonic fandom is a super creative place, believe it or not, and they have created super amazing things. Why don’t you spend time loving things instead of wasting it on hatred? Who knows? Maybe Sally’s not that bad. Maybe she can help Amy achieve Sonic’s affection somehow. Get that noggin’ joggin’. The sky’s the limit when it’s all about fan-fiction!

Believe it or not, I won’t say anything, but this person has been on the blog before. multiple times! And they haven’t learned a thing... Tsk tsk tsk...

Here’s a picture of Sally not being in the way of Sonamy. See? She’s not the devil’s advocate. Nobody here is.

The Sally Acorn Sabotage

So. We all know Archie Sonic’s infamous issue 134, “So Long Sally”, in which Sonic and Princess Sally break up after a huge fight. 

It’s an issue commonly referred to by fans of Sonamy to prove what a ‘psycho’ and ‘abusive jerk’ Sally ‘truly’ is. (Oh, and that the cover seems to be a ripoff of a Spiderman comic book...)

However it appears that the issue had literally been sabotaged. By Sonamy shippers. Now, we know that Sonamy fans can be a little obsessed to say the least, and of course it’s the minority of the fans that are, but this is an actual case of this bias leaking into an official medium, altering a character to make them seem unlikable so their favorite ship can happen. 

Now, I can’t find a copy of the cover mentioned above, but I can safely say that the scrapped plot did involve Sonic and Amy getting into a relationship. Here’s a discussion on Bumbleforums about the scrapped issue.

On DeviantART, the original artist of Issue 134, Jon Gray, uploaded a sketch of the infamous page and chose to speak about the infamy and hatred for Sally it caused.  "(...) Somehow the entire Sonic comic community cracked itself in half, launched itself into the sun and then collapsed into itself like a black hole because I still see the colored version of this image along with Sally's crazy-cat-lady-style tirade get posted up everywhere like the fandom equivalent of a scarlet letter. But you know what? I wear that scarlet letter proudly cuz, regardless of the motives behind it, regardless of the fervor it caused and regardless of the rancor it still incites Archie Sonic fans with to this day -- that, in the end, is what art (...) is supposed to do. It'll make you care about the characters. And the results of this page either made many fans either realize they'd stopped caring altogether OR made other fans realize that things needed to change and soon. So I guess that's exactly what this page, warts and diarrhea and abnormally giant head-eating Sally and all accomplished and still does.”

Wow I uh... I actually don’t know what to say. That’s a really low blow, dude.

Another good reason why I made this blog the way it is.

“Far from an abusive relationship”?

Ok, we all know that Amy used to be… kinda toxic.

There’s plenty of examples. For one, she yelled at Cosmo, a stranger, for wanting to speak to Sonic with no context to the point Cream finds it necessary to hold her back. Another time she forced Cream to train with her in order to lose weight in order to appeal to Sonic more, as if he was into thinner women. She also wears her main outfit mostly because Amy believes Sonic may find it attractive. She follows Sonic most of the time with him being the main source of motivation for her to do anything. 

And then she attempts to threaten him into a marriage, beating him up once he declines. She is seen trying to manipulate Sonic into dates multiple times even though it makes Sonic uncomfortable. Also she attempted to incite jealousy from Sonic by pretending she had another boyfriend.

In the Archie Comics Amy is seen defending Sonic and Sally during their date, leaning onto her hammer once done and muttering, ‘Sonic will be mine one day. Until then I just want him to be happy.’, implying that she doesn’t care about Sally’s happiness despite the fact that they’re friends. Might be reading too deeply though. It’s a rare case where she actually does care for Sonic’s happiness though rather than her own.

Aaandd… Amy is delusional. A good example is this episode. Never before have I had this much of an urge to yell at my TV.

If we’re talking about modern Amy, she is manipulative and violent towards anyone in her way, especially in the way of her relationship with Sonic. There  is more examples of her being terrible that I omitted because I’ve wasted enough time.

But yeah, Modern Amy has come a long way since her earlier incarnations. While it’s difficult for me personally to forgive her I’m glad she’s going a better route now and I am happy for her fans, too.

Prolly gonna get hate for this but I just needed to get this out of my system. Don’t worry, I can pick characters like Sally apart in a similar fashion if you want.

Oh boy. Okay, this is a text-book example of what people think of when people hate on a ship. Just stolen artwork with a big X over it, along with a description that barely makes sense. Note how this user also even tags Tails, Cosmo, and the ship of Tails and Cosmo together. This person is totally itching for a fight. 

Okay, let’s tear this description a new one.

“Tails dating a plant is not make no sense Come On...”

Cosmo is not just ‘a plant’. Cosmo might be related to plants, but the thing is that she is an anthropomorphic one with sentience and intelligence, enough to speak her mind and act like any other person would. You can sort of apply this to Tails, who is an anthropomorphic animal. He looks like an animal, but behaves like a human. If Tails was just “an animal” jails worldwide would be flooded with Furries by now. It’s not that simple.

“Cosmo is a (Metarex) in Sonic X Show”

No, she is not. !!Spoilers for Sonic X here!! Cosmo’s race consists of females and males. Males can transform into giant monsters to defend their home planet, though this causes them to die. When a war broke out, the husband of Cosmo’s mother (Lucas) creates the Metarex using their home planet’s planet egg. Taking a planet egg kills their home planet though, but it allowed Lucas and a group of soldiers to survive in heavy armor. This corrupted them however, turning the Metarex against the entire world, including the ship that the remainder of Cosmo’s kind used to flee. Cosmo was used as a spy by the Metarex unwillingly and certainly didn’t mean to work together with them. What does she do when she finally remembers what happened and realizes that she was being used to track down Sonic’s crew? She screams. Doesn’t seem like she’s working with them to me. !!Spoilers for Sonic X END here!!

“Tails still love Cream”

Let’s be real here, Tails and Cream are both super adorable and it’s your opinion that you’d rather see them together than with Cosmo, but you’re being blinded by hated for Cosmo for ‘standing in the way’ of Tails and Cream. Cosmo is a great character if you look past her moments with Tails. She may be mostly defenseless, but she is intelligent, diligent, and she tries her best to help those around her. She’s kind and hardworking and not to mention, absolutely cute. Without her, Sonic’s planet and its inhabitants would be dead as early as Episode 53 or so !!Spoilers for Sonic X here!! and her sacrifice makes it even sadder, especially since everyone, including Cream, absolutely loved her. If you wanna see it in a morbid way, just accept that she has passed away so Tails can eventually move on and date Cream as they get older. !!Spoilers for Sonic X END here!! You can still ship Tails with Cream even if the canon says something else. You can write fan-fictions and draw art that comes from you and nobody can take this away from you. You can ship Charmy with Cosmo. Let everyone be happy! It’s sad that you feel like you need to protect your ship using such extreme hatred.

Also, stolen art. Tails comes from here: (x)

(Hey, can anyone give me the source of Cosmo’s artwork? I’d like to credit the artist here! Can’t track down the background either.)

Could be a troll, but urghhh... I thought we left the “Sonic loves ___ more so he smooches them and leaves ___ in the dust because they’re dumbbbb XD” where we left Rage-Comics and ‘I’mma firin mah lazar’ in 2009 or so. This is just so aggravating to see.
