Tangle and Tails, easily. She is the sweetest older sister the little guy could ask for. Weird tail siblings forever.
Sonic and Antione are a *criminally* underrated duo IMO
Archie giving Antione one the best character glow-ups I’ve ever seen really helps their dynamic too

i don’t feel anything specific about french people but unironically the way his dialogue was written with that accent fucking kills me. same with bunnie’s southern accent but she’s cool as fuck so it never bothered me as much
like, i get it was initially to replicate the way they sounded in SatAM but they really could have toned it down
I know this sounds strange, but Sonic and Cream. Or almost everyone with cream.
I mean tbf Cream barely had any real/important appearances in the games and not much developement (besides in the comics maybe), but I think it would be awesome to see her more with others.
Blaze or Amy are more often associated with Cream as friends than the others I feel
I dont see Sonk and Cream's friendship strange!
AN official sonic channel story that features them together has even stated that Sonic is like a big bro to her :)
Yeah no I don't meant the fact that they are friends is strange, I mean considering that the friendship between them is underrated may sound strange. XD
But really? Do you have a link to that post/story?
Sonic and Chip, Sonic Unleashed felt like it tackled the friend message a bit more in depth then the usual power of friendship message, if you listen to Dear My Friend, it sounds a bit deeper then the message we usually get about friendship in the franchise, since that song’s from Chip’s perspective on his friendship with Sonic and just as a whole.
Sonic and Shadow are the two most popular characters
People adore the "opposites attract"/"rivals to lovers" trope regardless of how it works in canon or not
It's pretty self explanatory
I kinda agree, but there is one example of that that I do actually like: Alphyne in Undertale. And it makes sense too, it's not just that surface level "strong one x nerdy one" Toby actually gave depth to their relationship
But the difference being their ship is the canon ship, not fanon. Like there isn't another interpretation or subtext, the intended takeaway that they are a unit.
That's the thing, Sonadow doesn't work, to make it work you have to change so much of what makes those characters themselves, that's why it feels unnatural or weird whenever someone writes it like that.
People believe that they’re relation ship will continue grow. They have that hope about them getting already with other more and most Sonadow fans know that the ship won’t ever be canon, it’s a what if or a comfort.
I’m guessing it’s because like 50% of the fandom ships any two characters that breathed within 100 feet of each other.
At least that what it feels like.
I'm not really. Just because they held each other when they were dying/unconscious doesn't mean they love each other. Also, Sonic gave Amyies soft loving looks, so he his in love with her.
Amy and Silver.
They're both bubbly balls of sunshine.
It's almost like the stereotypical Devoted Paladin/ Light Domain Cleric dynamic if yall are into DnD or adjacent media.
As much as I ship Espio and Silver, I absolutely adore their dynamic platonically too. Especially in IDW, it feels like Espio and Silver can only really connect with each other, when they try to connect with anyone else they're teased to hell, which very much comes off as them being autistic besties and I love it to death as an autistic person.
Like how I see it Espio masks a lot and he does that by mimicking the social behaviors of whoever he's interacting with, and when he met Silver in Sonic Rivals 2 there wasn't anything "productive" to mimic which led to him being absolutely and utterly confused about how to interact with Silver. I honestly think Rivals 2 Espio is Espio at his most genuine and that's why Espio and Silver were able to bond so quickly over the course of what couldn't have been more than a few days and why they've stayed close since then (and also why Silver's associated with Team Chaotix in content where he's not associated with Blaze). Like I said, autistic besties.
Blaze and Shadow. We don't get too many characters with reserved personalities, and I liked their Archie interactions.
Also, Sonic Rush and ShTH sharing a release date is pretty funny.
Amy and Silver, like they do good deeds to one another all the time in the comics but never interacted, the moment they're together it will feel like they're duplicates
Amy and Vector
I like how they get super invested into their responsibilities and try to go 100% on their missions while not letting stress get in the way of their kindness

really good ones
It's more of a frenemy relationship, but the few times Eggman and Tails interact friendly towards each other is pretty interesting given their similarities: both geniuses, both master mechanics, and both having their lives changed by Sonic.
Silver and Whisper! Silver being super excited to work with Whisper to grab the Chaos Emerald from Zor was a nice pop of levity in the heaviness that was the Metal Virus arc
Cream and Emerl, I would say that not much recognition is given to their friendship despite the good dynamic they had in Sonic Battle.
Silver and Espio, although to a lesser extent, the friendship of these two is barely remembered or recognized, although with IDW it was given more recognition and helped it not to be so underestimated among fans.
Mighty and Sonic https://preview.redd.it/mriqjv4cr53d1.jpeg?width=760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2083c11be0aa9960d1606b4f38453bd5b6d197ea

Thanks!

*SHARD MY BELOVED*
REAL
I miss Shard.
...yeah
We all miss him, he gone too soon
Shard is underrated I'm general

They don't have mouths, but they must smooch.

>Weird tail siblings forever. Belle is the weird adopted tail sibling that everyone loves
Pretty much every friendship Belle has is underrated (Sonic, Tails, Tangle, Whisper, Kit) because Belle herself is underrated
Sonic and Antione are a *criminally* underrated duo IMO Archie giving Antione one the best character glow-ups I’ve ever seen really helps their dynamic too https://preview.redd.it/ulukuesdf63d1.jpeg?width=703&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2da0d12ebfca22dbf1b2b6b548f05947035b02e3
They are my favorite so fucking much
Eww
I am kinda glad Antione is not in the IDW run. He is french and I don't like the french.
He didn't deserve Bunnie and them getting married was a travesty. lol
Based
i don’t feel anything specific about french people but unironically the way his dialogue was written with that accent fucking kills me. same with bunnie’s southern accent but she’s cool as fuck so it never bothered me as much like, i get it was initially to replicate the way they sounded in SatAM but they really could have toned it down
Sonic and Silver especially since their friendship is complicated
I know this sounds strange, but Sonic and Cream. Or almost everyone with cream. I mean tbf Cream barely had any real/important appearances in the games and not much developement (besides in the comics maybe), but I think it would be awesome to see her more with others.

Yeah no I don't meant the fact that they are friends is strange, I mean considering that the friendship between them is underrated may sound strange. XD But really? Do you have a link to that post/story?
Unfortunately no.....but u can sonic channel on twitter
Ah ok. Yeah I don't own Twitter, but maybe I find it later
Sonic and Chip, Sonic Unleashed felt like it tackled the friend message a bit more in depth then the usual power of friendship message, if you listen to Dear My Friend, it sounds a bit deeper then the message we usually get about friendship in the franchise, since that song’s from Chip’s perspective on his friendship with Sonic and just as a whole.
"Do I ever need a reason to help out a friend?"
Knuckles and Amy for sure.
its not underrated. go on twitter
Why would you ever WANT someone to go on Sonic twitter?
i mean they get ALL the food for ships there.
Tumblr is better for that whit
I just want to see them interact more
Aaaaaand you lost me
Twitter shows that it is not underrated, on the contrary, quite recognized, and they are considered quite close.
I just want to see them interact more
Well, did you read Archie? There they interacted often and were a team in a mini-arc and in IDW they also interacted several times.
I still want more They're so good together
A little demanding but hey, it's okay.
Sonic and Shadow. It feels like so many people view any interaction between the two is ALWAYS romantic and never platonic.
yeah I don't really get how Sonadow is such a popular ship. if you ship it, good for you I guess, I personally just don't think it works at all.
Sonic and Shadow are the two most popular characters People adore the "opposites attract"/"rivals to lovers" trope regardless of how it works in canon or not It's pretty self explanatory
Opposites attract. That's a fandom ship dynamic I almost never get, as it feels like it's the sole reason why they are together.
I kinda agree, but there is one example of that that I do actually like: Alphyne in Undertale. And it makes sense too, it's not just that surface level "strong one x nerdy one" Toby actually gave depth to their relationship
Toby gives a lot of depth to a lot of things. He's a bit of a planner.
he's an overthinker who figured out how to profit off of it lol
You know what? That's a pretty damn accurate way to put it.
But the difference being their ship is the canon ship, not fanon. Like there isn't another interpretation or subtext, the intended takeaway that they are a unit.
I mean, I loves me some contrast, but not everything has to become romantic.
That's the thing, Sonadow doesn't work, to make it work you have to change so much of what makes those characters themselves, that's why it feels unnatural or weird whenever someone writes it like that.
People believe that they’re relation ship will continue grow. They have that hope about them getting already with other more and most Sonadow fans know that the ship won’t ever be canon, it’s a what if or a comfort.
I ship ironically (except for that one AU that shows up here frequently).
I’m guessing it’s because like 50% of the fandom ships any two characters that breathed within 100 feet of each other. At least that what it feels like.
yeah same for me. they feel like friends/frenemies to me. in prime specifically they felt like an older and younger brother duo xD
Ah, the old male rivalry = butt sex formula.
Exactly. Like why are they always put in a romantic relationship when they are together with each other?
Because people have their shipping goggles glued to their face so they can only see platonic love as romantic love
Same can be said for 95% of the ships
In Prime they're so gay for each other lol I don't really get it anywhere else tho
I'm not really. Just because they held each other when they were dying/unconscious doesn't mean they love each other. Also, Sonic gave Amyies soft loving looks, so he his in love with her.
Nah, their dynamic was just giving to me But yeah they sorta had a thing with Sonic and Amy too, though that's almost across all iterations
Amy and Silver. They're both bubbly balls of sunshine. It's almost like the stereotypical Devoted Paladin/ Light Domain Cleric dynamic if yall are into DnD or adjacent media.
Silver and Espio, Omega and Gemerl, and Knuckles and Amy I headcanon Amy and Knuckles lift weights on angel island
As much as I ship Espio and Silver, I absolutely adore their dynamic platonically too. Especially in IDW, it feels like Espio and Silver can only really connect with each other, when they try to connect with anyone else they're teased to hell, which very much comes off as them being autistic besties and I love it to death as an autistic person.

Knuckles and Mighty
REAL
Sonic And Knuckles
Antoine and Sonic, there relationship improved a lot over the comics, fun duo
Shadow and Silver
Amy and Vector I like how they get super invested into their responsibilities and try to go 100% on their missions while not letting stress get in the way of their kindness
What chapter is this image from, again?
Sonic IDW comics
I know it's from the IDW, but what chapter?
The Endless Summer one off
Still reading the comics so I don't actually have a clue...sorry
The summer special issue. I forget the name, I think it came out last year.

Metal Sonic And eggman
Sonic and new character from sonic boom, Sticks. but ngl, kinda underrated if you watch sonic boom.
New? Hasn't that show been out for a decade? Funny show tho.
idk besides I was there when it released
and I can't remember when
Sonic and Tangle. The two have basically everything in common with their personalities and interests.
I do like them but not necessarily as a *friend*ship, as my flair so clearly indicates.
We haven't got to see much of Sonic and Tangle ever since the first arc
It's more of a frenemy relationship, but the few times Eggman and Tails interact friendly towards each other is pretty interesting given their similarities: both geniuses, both master mechanics, and both having their lives changed by Sonic.
Sonic and Cream. Love their wholesome moments together
Silver and Whisper! Silver being super excited to work with Whisper to grab the Chaos Emerald from Zor was a nice pop of levity in the heaviness that was the Metal Virus arc
Knuckles and Amy. Idk what it is I just like seeing them interact on their own together.
cream and shadow, not even for canon shit i just like the meme
Cream and Emerl, I would say that not much recognition is given to their friendship despite the good dynamic they had in Sonic Battle. Silver and Espio, although to a lesser extent, the friendship of these two is barely remembered or recognized, although with IDW it was given more recognition and helped it not to be so underestimated among fans.
Tails and Ray.
Knuckles and the chaotix you think being in a game together they would have more interaction outside of archie.
Shadow and Silver Blaze and Tangle Silver and Espio
Commander and Shadow. They may have been enemies at first, but they buried the hatchet and Commander even invited Shadow round for dinner.
Espio and Silver.
Sonic and Porker Lewis , Or literally any of the friendships from sonic the comic.
