>>34268 Somehow being supportive of your friend makes you a cuck? Don't be insecure man. Its presented in a positive manner and you immediately take it to the most cynical route possible. Be better.

>>35015 If that friend is the opposite sex, then yes, you're just getting cucked. Obviously Silver and Blaze have tension. You're nearly as bad as the Shadamy BLACKED fetish guy above you. Yes, I know Shadow isn't really black, Knuckles is, but Knuckles is an incel, like Amy.

>>35022 And obviously a lot of people see them as no more than good friends. Your quick to throw out the worst in people when all your doing is projecting.

>>35022 This whole post is crazy

>>35031 Some people just can't hold their sanity when it comes to shipping. Just lash out at everything that doesn't align perfectly with their preferences. Even if its harmless. Just post fuzzy animals cuddling. That's all we want.

>>35028 >And obviously a lot of people see them as no more than good friends. Girls and boys can't be just friends. This is more unbelievable than the four foot hedgehog with psychic powers.

>>35033 It is insane how much chemistry they have together. Sonic x Blaze is perfection.

>>35129 Yessir They just balance each other out so well. Have some more art. ^^ >>35129

>>35227 Thank you kindly, Sonaze erudite.

>>35517 Cute and Canon.

>>36801 Cool!

>>36574 Kill yourself

>>35022 They're not incels, fuck off to cuckchan.

>>35033 I'm like a month late, but to be clear, I don't understand the concept of shipping. I'm just stating what's canon. Silver and Blaze have a special relationship in '06 and in the comics. Silver and Blaze barely have any relationships with any other characters in any other games or comics. They're much closer than Blaze is with Sonic, where her relationship is just "guy who helped me save the world these two times." Sonic and Blaze barely even show friendship. He just has his adventure and his influence leaves an impression on those who witness him, which is the effect he has on every character in the series. I don't understand why anyone would want two fictional characters to get together. I understand appreciating a story, and stories can involve romance, but that isn't what shipping is. I'm just stating what's canon and how it's been shown. Why would I care about a non canon couple? They don't have any story behind them. Also, Amy is an "incel" because she constantly gets rejected by Sonic. And Knuckles is an incel because he's the last of his kind and Rouge teases him but in later games she seems into Shadow instead. But obviously these are both jokes. Amy can't be an incel because she's a girl. Knuckles? Well actually maybe it's not as much a joke with Knuckles. Even though he had a common-law wife and a daughter in the Archie comics, but that was the one of the worst storylines ever written, and thankfully was explicitly erased. Note that Knuckles isn't an incel because he doesn't get laid, he's an incel because he's awkward and gets teased and doesn't know how to respond when maybe he has a chance. Sonic doesn't get laid (as far as we know), but he's no incel. He totally could get laid because he's the coolest and most popular dude in the world. But he ain't got time for love. Tails is an incel because he never got to fuck Cosmo, and Fiona Fox cucked him with Sonic. Eggman is an incel because... look at him. Also he's a male feminist. I know that's a mistranslation. It's funnier this way. Shadow's an incel because he has oneitis so bad that he doesn't notice that Rouge has totally been into him for a while now, like in Shadow Generations. Big isn't an incel because he uses Froggy as an onahole. And of course Amy is canonically in love with Sonic. That's her whole personality. Shipping her with Shadow isn't just non-canon, it's also clearly done for BLACKED fetish stuff (or more likely, to agitate people who noticed that that's a trend that's been pushed by certain (((people)))).

If your just stating whats canon then you can sit your tail right back down. No ship is canon. Even Sonic and Amy are word of god cat and mouse. Creatives leave individual ships up to personal preferences of the viewer for good reason. and your severely underselling their other connections. Silver has an extremely similar relationship with Espio that he does with Blaze in the comics and the games. Guidance, reassurance and a calming hand. Sonic and Shadow both hit him with the 'little bro' card which is not something to be taken lightly. As for Blaze, say what you will, but in the comics when she was due for R&R her first solo outing was with Sonic and she didn't even attempt to seek out Silver. Not a mention of him. - she just ran into him by chance and invited him on the next trip. That sure screams canon couple to me! Lets vacation with this other guy in my first block of free time ever. Shipping in general has absolutely nothing to do with canon in the first place, so you need to divorce that idea from the concept. People ship characters that have never met - its just personal preference.

>>38511 >Silver has an extremely similar relationship with Espio that he does with Blaze in the comics and the games. No he doesn't. Silver is Espio's teammate in one game, but even in that game they barely have any dialogue between each other. Has Silver ever interacted with Espio in the comics? At all? I've read them all, and I don't recall a single instance of them ever interacting. I could be forgetting one, but there certainly isn't anything significant. Silver and Blaze are consistently a duo in the IDW comics, at least. >Shipping in general has absolutely nothing to do with canon in the first place, so you need to divorce that idea from the concept. People ship characters that have never met - its just personal preference. Yeah this is the part I don't get. I don't understand how anyone could care. What's the point? Analyzing a story is understandable. But this isn't that. If there's no story, what's the point? Porn? Like "I think they're both hot, so let's see them both fuck?" But shipping isn't usually porn, so I don't get it.

>>38588 Silver and Espio share a mentorship bond that spawns from the rivals game. He has a stunningly similar 3-4 page conversation with him to the one that he does with Blaze in the victory garden, where his anxiety over his duty needs guidance. Silver cultivates these relationships as part of his character build. He's naive and young and wants to do the right thing but needs a sober hand on his shoulder. If you read the comics, it is hard to miss. This isn't even a 1 or 2 panel glimpse. He even refers back to it when he meets with Blaze later.

>>38667 >If you read the comics, it is hard to miss. My apologies. I read literally all of them, and it's easy to forget a single scene out of a thousand issues. My point remains that Silver and Blaze interact much more.

>>38717 Your apologies? You painted it as if they've never interacted in the comics - I point to a 4 page heart-to-heart that literally ends in a BroHug - and you still dismiss it as if your original point holds any merit? You tried to live in your bubble where Silver and Blaze interact with no one else but each other and just got pimp slapped upside the head. Your original point wasn't 'they interact more' it was a claim that Silver and Blaze hardly interact with anyone else - which is clearly insultingly false. I could have pointed to the pages devoted to Knux and Blaze Bonding over their guardian duties. I could have pointed to the MULTIPLE arcs Silver spent with the Diamond Cutters doing everything in his power to fit in. I could have pointed to the entire issue Blaze spent with Sonic in the closest thing to a date the comics have seen since the Sonic/Sally days. I could have even pointed out that when Blaze reminisced about the people who had the biggest impact on her - Silver didn't even make that cut. You don't get to move the goalposts cause you talked yourself into a brickwall. Take the L with some dignity.

>>38726 It wasn't that they hardly interact with anyone else. Obviously Blaze interacts with Marine most. Not in the IDW comics, for some reason, but the game overrides everything. Anyway, yes, apologies for forgetting an example. My main point still stands, but yours holds more merit than I originally thought. Except wait, no, because Espio is a boy, so it doesn't. Because part of the argument is also that, yes, boys and girls being such close friends does imply romantic/sexual tension. Not the case with two characters of the same sex. >Knuckles Yes, they're both Guardians. Blaze and Silver just kinda hang out for no reason other than being friends and the audience's memories of Sonic '06 (which the characters don't even remember, but still). >Diamond Cutters That shit sucked so bad, and Silver wasn't even their friend. You know his interactions with Blaze are of an entirely different nature. You might as well argue Silver is gay with Elias and Shard because they were all on the Secret Freedom Fighters. >I could have pointed to the entire issue Blaze spent with Sonic in the closest thing to a date the comics have seen since the Sonic/Sally days. I would not say it's much like a date at all. At this point you're trying to dilute it to literally the amount of times characters interact, in which case you should be shipping Sonic x Eggman, since they're the two characters who interact the most in the entire series. >I could have even pointed out that when Blaze reminisced about the people who had the biggest impact on her - Silver didn't even make that cut. Yeah, Silver didn't have an impact on her. She had an impact on him. But still, you raise a good point that Silver should have been included there since they're shown as relatively close friends in the IDW comics specifically. Also, just for reference, you should consider not making every sentence a new line. Short paragraphs are fine, but that isn't what you're doing here. That whole thing should have been two, maybe three paragraphs at most. Not eight. This kind of thing might fly on Reddit or whatever, but it outs you as one of the refugees around here.

>>38730 The only one who pitching that garbage boy/girl dichotomy is you. Especially considering the comic has multiple same sex couples on display. Romantic tension is in the eye of the beholder, and playing by the rules the comic sets it doesn't matter who's a boy and who's a girl. I'm not suggesting Silver and Espio are pitched as a couple, but I am suggesting that like everyone else, people are free to interpret that as the will. And be cute all you want, Sonic doesn't go on fun runs, go shopping. eat out, hold hands and genuinely connect with Eggman.

>>38726 But anon, Silver is for Blaze

>>38802 Silver is for Blaze being happy.
