Whenever Shadow has a particularly rough day, he won’t—can’t—talk until he’s had time to unwind. Amy can always tell when that’s the case because it’s one of the few times he’ll initiate physical contact. She lets him rest his head in her lap and lightly scratches his quills until he’s fully relaxed. He was mortified the first time he fell asleep like that, but she assured him that she didn’t mind and it made her happy that he trusted her so much.

She did keep a book on her coffee table after that, though. She never had the heart to get up and wake him, especially when he purred in his sleep.

Amy frequently latches onto Shadow, but he handles it differently. Whenever she dozes off while leaning on his shoulder or clinging to his arm, she always wakes up later to find he’s successfully carried her to their bed without waking her so he can hold her and make sure she doesn’t get a stiff neck. She was embarrassed until he admitted that he found it cute that she never let go even in her sleep and he’d never once felt the urge to push her away.

It was a mistake and I hope it didn’t cause any issues. Message me if you want to see the ticket I received from tumblr can't send you a message I don't know why”/.End ID]

PSA: If you get a message like this one in your inbox or DMs, it is a scam.

Scammers like this try to get you to send over personal information so they can steal your account. The tumblr staff page has a segment about this one specifically:

“If someone reaches out to you apologizing for accidentally reporting you and giving you steps to fix that, it is a common scam that we are aware of. All reports are reviewed by a human, so if someone actually accidentally reported you, the report would likely be rejected. If someone like that reaches out to you, or you think someone is pretending to be Tumblr Staff, please report it to us immediately and block them. Outside of official Tumblr accounts and our support email, Staff will never message you, reply to your messages, or notify you about changes to your account. Also, Tumblr will never ask for money besides for what’s sold in TumblrMart.”

Apparently, other sites have similar scams, too; keep an eye out for it on Discord and Steam.

Getting kidnapped, getting left behind, getting a gun out to her head by Eggman, thinking she's about to watch her friends die over and over, that one fucked up post about her having an eating disorder.

... she's got trauma, just like the rest of them.

You are so correct anon. It's also implied that she has abandonment issues. I'd love it if we got an Amy-centric game or comic that explored that trauma in a meaningful way, but unfortunately, I'm not holding my breath. I get the feeling that Sega isn't interested in exploring that aspect of Amy's character
