Warning: Long paragraph:So the other days, I saw this tweet talked about how Sonic will actually have to slow his life down for Shadow, for Shadow would be annoyed with whatever Sonic is doing outside of running( and even running maybe)If anything, Amy is able to match Sonic’s lifestyle more than Shadow. Honestly them talking about canonicity in the first place is so dumb for me, but I’ll go with it then. If we talkin about canonicity, Shadow might not always willing to go out with Sonic, but I suppose he enjoys them whenever he does? I’m not sure if I rephrased this in the best way, but what’s your opinion on this”Sonic will have to slow his life down for Shadow cuz Shad be annoyed with him and all” and not the usual ways that we interpreted Sonadow
I dont really understand why Sonic would have to "slow down" for Shadow. I think that Sonic and Shadow are equally independent souls and their lives move at an equally fast pace too. probably the only other character to match sonic's bad habit of disappearing on people whenever he feels like is Shadow. I said this in a previous ask but I think if sonadow were to happen in canon they wouldnt be hanging out all the time and might not even meet that often at all while on their own seperate adventures, but it is the brief moments they share together that keep them connected and linger on. Neither of them would want the other to change. I also dont see why Sonic living a fast paced life would annoy Shadow, Shadow is annoyed by Sonic when Sonic gets in his way. I think the way Sonic lives his life is of no concern to Shadow. If Shadow were to develop feelings for him and get in a relationship I think his only concern would be that Sonic doesnt foolishly throw his life away, but Shadow has enough confidence in Sonic's abilities. That actually reminds me of another example, the thing in Colors DS where he basically seeked Sonic out himself just to test him to see if he was ready to save the day. I dont think he would have done that if he hated Sonic that much.
As for Amy, well, I think she can potentially keep up with Sonic's lifestyle. I think she is more than capable, strong and talented. But I dont think thats what she wants. All of their early dynamic is of her wanting Sonic to marry her and even raise a child together. That aside, something that sets apart Sonic and Amy as heroes is that Amy is more connected to the people around her than Sonic is. This is why we see her taking up a sort of resistance leader role for a while in IDW. She wants to be there for people she cares about, whether her friends or larger community. Make sure they are okay, even after the fight is over. Sonic on the other hand is like "my work here is done" and then dissappears for 5 months without explanation in an uncharted zone and comes back with a souvenir fridge magnet
