Y’all I’m a multishipper now it’s official, I have two otps shadamy and metamy y’all can fight me about it. But then, like, I thought..... Because Shadow and Metal have surprisingly similar personalities alright, but they have a lot of other stuff in common too, like all of team Dark Metal has obviously worked for Eggman, but he’s also not mobian, artificially made, like Shadow. I think they’d bond over that deep similarity. Also just look Metal’s wiki entry for his relationship with Shadow thanks

They literally all have chemistry together. Amy is the bundle of joy and brings them both vulnerability and compassion and open affection & validation, while both guys are determined and witty and make her (and each other) laugh and care for her obvi, and with Metal & Shadow it’d be that soft quiet kind of relationship with a foundation of understanding. Seriously tho they’d have a blast going on missions together, all three are hypercompetent powerhouses but y’all, Shadow and Metal? Ok and once Metal learns more about dry humor he’d be unstoppable. Also just think about Sonic tripping and both Metal & Shadow just gleefully chuckling about it, the menace duo. I think even them having arguments would go over well and interestingly esp if Amy is there to mediate it and keep it fair, even if she can be a hothead as well. She’s their moral compass and light at the tunnel but they can be each other’s anchors.

Soo I posted a fanfic earlier about Draco Malfoy’s feelings upon discovering that his corporeal patronus is a snake (spoilers: he’s not happy) that you can read here: https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/85303045 and it’s a dramione because I have the power to make it be

But it made me want to talk more about my actual patronus headcanon for him! As the title said, I headcanon that Draco’s patronus is a crow.

Not only does it make for a very cool aesthetic, with the color palette and contrast and superstitions and symbolic (you can expect/hope art of that), but also because crows are witty, mischievous, creative, wild, social and grudge keepers. They’re fast learners and follow their own rules

I’ve always liked the theory that Lucius Malfoy’s patronus is a white peacock, and I like to think that Narcissa’s is a dove, or maybe a cool white bird of prey. Soo here the black comes into contrast with his parents’ white, which goes more into fanon territory but y’know. It contrasts, but it’s still in the same monochrome bleak but elegant color scheme, which I’d say that similarity is important because for better or for worse, we can all agree that family is very important to the Malfoys. I really enjoy mischievous Draco that values freedom more so than regal Draco that enjoys keeping up pretenses nowadays, so that goes into my pick too ngl. 

Being a bird, it’s then again about freedom and flying like in quidditch, and making your own path, beyond what pureblood society set in stone for you before your birth. The fact that’s it’s a dang crow and it’s black goes in line with his rejection dysphoria & being lonely (which is now canon with the cursed child bc he envied the golden trio’s friendship, but also it’s the cursed child do you truly want it to be canon) and being the out of place death eater making amends post war. But truly I cannot mention enough how devious those birds are and they’re just really likeable little shits and I care about them and that reminds me someone.

Other patronus ideas I’ve had just because: Mockingbird to showcase his more artistic side like in the books, and also, mocking. And a leopard. It’s canon a person doesn’t have to know about the animal’s existence to have it as a patronus and it just came to me, it sounds wild but interesting, if you value the animal being his hair color this is for you haha. For the memes I also thought of a goose, because of their short tempers, can’t you just hear him honking
