You idiots still don't get what's happening with Evan Stanley, do you? You see her name on a comic or an animation and think that's the end of it. This is the long game. She is going to take over the entire creative direction of this franchise. Let's be real, she's a tugboater. She's never leaving Sonic because she literally can't. Her art style is so fucking niche and we all know she can't draw normal human women to save her life. Where else is she gonna go? Marvel? DC? Fat fucking chance. She's stuck here forever, and Sega knows it. That makes her loyal, easy to control, and cheap.

Compare that to Flynn. He's just a freelancer. Sega only hires him because they think the Archiefags demand it, but they clearly don't respect him. They supervise his scripts to hell and back and won't even use them in the Japanese versions. Flynn has an ego and other projects; he's not going to be shackled to Sonic forever. But Evan? She's already got her foot in the door of the games division with that Trio of Trouble nonsense. She's doing official art for social media, covers, lore books. They're positioning her as the new in-house creative authority. As Iizuka, Uekawa, and Kawamura get older and retire, who do you think is going to fill that void? It's not gonna be some new guy from Japan. The money is in the West, and they're going to hand the keys to the person who's proven she'll never leave.
So get ready for the Evan Stanley era of Sonic. I'm talking mainline games written by her. Her OCs becoming canon. Her bizarre, ugly-ass human women designs showing up in whatever city hub world they cook up next. We'll probably even get game concepts pitched by her greenlighted. Flynn will eventually fuck off to write his own shit, but she'll still be here, the loyal company woman inheriting the ashes of the brand. Some of you fags even want this to happen just to see SoJ burn. It's the grim, inevitable future that awaits us.
