You can scream in all caps but it doesn't change the fact that your talking points are indistinguishable from a Sonic X fan's. It's not a coincidence that your interpretation of the characters aligns perfectly with the show you claim to be ignoring.

I'm not twisting "My Sweet Passion". The song is about obsession. "You can be my sweetest honey for eternity". "There's nowhere to hide". It's not a song about wanting to join an adventure, it's about possession. She sees him and thinks of parsley standing alone. The girl is sick with love. The desire to "settle our lives" is the thesis statement for her character, not a line taken out of context.

And your proof is what? Sonic Team website blurbs and Sonic 06? You're using the game where Sonic gets romanced by a human princess as your benchmark for characterization? That story was a trainwreck that understood nobody. The "Test of Love" is meaningless drivel from a game everyone would rather forget. An optional choice that feels extremely out of place when the entire game's narrative focuses on Sonic and Elise's bond. As for Unleashed, the fact that you can go on a date doesn't mean it's the canon depiction of their core dynamic. It's an optional side-quest where Sonic is clearly just being put on the spot.

You see Sonic running from Amy and invent an entire romantic subplot to explain it. You're missing the entire point. The dynamic is the gag. The original Japanese text in Advance 3, when translated verbatim, "Love-dovey? Pair" has a question mark for a reason. Sonic's ugh face isn't deep subtext for romance. He is annoyed by her. That's the joke. He's not overwhelmed, Sparky, he's avoidant. Uninterested.

You're seeing what you want to see because the writers from that era, especially Kiyoko Yoshimura, wanted to pander to shippers, and Maekawa let them. They created this fake, "will-they-won't-they" narrative that was never part of the original dynamic or depicted in the games.
