The Sonadow Special | BumbleKast Mini! for June 30th, 2023 - Ian Flynn Q&A Podcast

[@J.R.Unbound]

June 30th, 2023 (Mini) Question Timestamps (Sonadow Edition): ------------------------------------------- 0:09 - (Introduction) So this time, for Pride Month, we get to address the hypothetical fandom ship that probably helped more than a few Sonic Fans figure out their sexuality. Sonadow! (A lot of straight fans had Rouge or Sally be their awakening, so don't throw stones.) 0:28 - How would you execute the character growth for Shadow and Sonic that would most help enable Sonadow? 1:46 - How would you arrange that first key romantic spark that was intended to drive the fans towards wanting them together? 3:49 - How would you make it official for the two of them? 5:17 - How would Professor Gerald, Doctor Eggman, The Commander, and Black Doom advise him? 7:54 - Let's say that in the aftermath of a terrifying evil scheme Eggman once more had to team up with the heroes to save the world… But he died in the process, leaving Sage and her brothers in the care of his uncle and uncle in-law. Assume that if money were real GUN would pay the kind of money that would keep a classy act like Rouge on staff, so the boys don’t need to change their heroics too much. How would they do as parents to the Sage, Orbot, Cubot, and after a while (if she so chose) potentially Belle? 11:16 - So what would each of their dying wishes to each other be? 12:53 - Would Sonic take Shadow’s last name, or Shadow take Sonic’s, each keep their own, or each add the other’s with a hyphen? (Given Shadow’s right to certain other last names, there could be a timeline with a Sonic Robotnik or Sonic Doom...) 13:53 - How would they both adapt to regularly hanging out with each other’s found family? 15:01 - With this new little family we’ve assembled around the Sonadow pairing… who would be their forever DM? (Omega is a Warforged Barbarian right?) 18:00 - From those whose Digimon partners you might choose to have DNA Digivolve with Sonic's or Shadow's partners - which characters figure it out from that basic mental connection, and of them how would they handle knowing without being told? 21:29 - So Kyle, can you please pitch me three episode ideas for the up-and-never-coming sitcom “The Hedge-Hogs” for me to rate? *Happy Pride y’all*

[@evilyoshimaster]

Are you honestly trying to tell me Sonic WOULDN'T take Robotnik as his last name? That would open up a whole new avenue for pissing off Eggman and Sonic would not miss out on the chance to piss off Eggman.

[@Twilord_]

You should definitely ask this on their Kofi if you can afford the fiver. 😂

[@abnormallyawesome2062]

omg he so would!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣it does make since for sonic to take shadow's last name since he actually has one, two... three last names??? does sonic have a last name??? do any of the characters? lmao! 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀either way, sonic would be an absolute little shit about the whole thing and take Robotnik because it would drive eggman crazy with being an "in law" to his worst enemy... and sonic would NEVER shut up about it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣probably to the point where he would piss off shadow too. lol

[@supremeoverlord0]

More than a few months late, but I just wanted to say that, amidst all the other thoughtful discussion, I haven't seen anyone in these comments talk about the comedy GOLD that was your responses to the hypothetical Sonic Sitcom. From E-123 Omega popping out of the cake, robotically singing happy birthday, blowing everything up, to (Mike Polluck voice) "I hear you've got the Primetime cable package!" to Knuckles as Kramer and Shadow's unique parental situation... I was in actual tears. I wish that Sonic spinoffs could look like that, lmao. Also, forgot to mention that "What's Love Got To Do With It?" feat. Black Doom also had me in stitches. This was so insightful and funny, thanks you guys.

[@mycelium_6508]

You don’t know how important it is to have someone properly discuss sonadow and respect it instead of treating it as a joke. An official sonic writer too,, like Im so happy about this. It’s a proper ship that makes sense, but because it’s gay no one ever takes it seriously.

[@audodd5813]

@mycelium_6508 Every gay ship in every fandom that isn't cannon gets made fun of. Like,the punch line every time is "Haha,gay,hah" So yes, I feel your pain.

Freaking love how he almost always says that most of the aspects of a relationship between them are already fulfilled, and that the only thing that would be missing would be the romantic part, but everything else is already done; Mutual respect, camaraderie, understanding, trust, everything. And it's perfect, give all possible development to whatever it is that they 2 have and the fandom (Sonadow fans more than anyone) will be happy 😊

[@9s420]

Okay, so... you guys DO know that most of us Sonadow fans are aware of the obvious, right...? We know they aren't and will never be canon, we know that being lovey dovey is definitely NOT part of either of their characters, we know that we're batshit crazy fanatics for both of these hedgehogs and them being gay for each other is just icing on the cake for us. If yall just talked to a Sonadow fan you would know that the general air about the ship is "Beating The Shit Out Of Each Other Is How We Say I Love You" because literally the most heated interactions Sonic and Shadow have together is when they're in conflict... ESPECIALLY with each other. Conflict seems to be the best way either of these characters show emotions other than "chill cocky bastard" and "tragic broody loner". The whole Kiss Kiss Fall In Lovey Dovey Tooth Rottingly Sweet Happiness Together "sub plot" stems from how they were established. Sonic avoids romance because it slows him down and here runs in Shadow more than capable of keeping pace with him (maybe even surpassing him wink wink nudge nudge). Shadow doesn't do romance because he isn't emotionally available- maybe it's because deep down he knows that everyone he "cares for" will die, like that's just the fact of his future. Or maybe it's because he doesn't feel like he deserves to feel such a thing like love because deep tragic ptsd-ridden survivor's guilt. But here comes Sonic with his "You gotta live life to the fullest!" and the goddamn "Every world has its end" and his stupid ability to inspire hope inside people. Obviously these are stretches and blatant fabrications but they're rooted deep enough to the canon that they set themselves up as something that could have some validity. IF YOU GUYS COULD SEE THE DEEP LORES SONADOW FANS CONCOCT, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND!! I apologize if I sound like a snippy asshole, Im not trying to be mean, I'm just a very passionate sonadow fan 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@kaliyahwalker7873]

You my person are a real one that UNDERSTANDS!!! THIS!!! Is my kind of Sonadow that I absolutely adore-

[@chai9379]

i agree with you and i think you have really good points. but to say it is 100% sure that they are not or will never be feeling any sort of thing for each other i think is a bit over the top you know? yes, i myself think sega will never gonna make it canon but still, we don't know that much about their direction of the characters towards the future really that much either. they could be hiding a few more things more than we think. we all know how much sega don't come out with all they have obviously. indeed, we never had a clear hint of the sonadow ship, but if you take a closer look at the evolution that the two had come through for the past few years (not talking about the boom era) whether it is in the games or even the shows they seem to have a special chemistry that no one can deny, they seem to feel something we just cannot say what exactly it is. i am not saying its love nor do i say its not. a lot of things can be controversial and thats why we cannot be a 100% sure about what the characters are really on about. that's only my opinion but everyone is free to think whatever else.

[@lunarribbon917]

Thanks for taking this "what if" scenario seriously, what makes Sonadow viable deep down to the core, what we really all crave is to see Shadow happy, for him to find someone to open up to being vulnerable and being trusting of them, and Sonic fits all of that really well, they've been through so much together, and wielding chaos powers together has to connect them on an emotional level, because it synchronizes their hearts to utilize the energy. "Chaos is power enriched by the heart".

this is absolutely the best thing i've watched all week i love how detailed all this is, it may all be hypotheticals, but i love how much care goes into each description, it's not just things said to get out of the way, there's actual thought, actual planning, genuinely realising how these two would interact for this to happen, it's absolutely perfect and it DEFINATELY shows what a good writer ian flynn is, especially since he's even willing to talk of this ship, there's a lot of other writers who would just turn down any mention of this kind of stuff, not wanting to discuss ships in general unless it's a cannon one, and i'm pretty sure a lot of people who work at Sega wouldn't like talking of sonadow, but here, ian flynn isnt bothered by that it's all hypotheticals and he ENJOYS discussing it, talking through it, i LOVE it so so so much! sonadow isn't treated like a joke here, but rather treated with respect, and a LOT of thought, ian flynn is by far one of the best writers sonic has ever had, and i am so happy he's doing the work he is, this whole video was amazing.

[@dhampir_days]

so I don't normally talk much about being trans on big youtube videos like this because I don't fancy my notifs being filled with variations of "kill yourself", but as well as my sexuality, Sonic in general actually helped me figure out my gender identity! Sonadow and SonAmy were big contributors to it. I always found myself very attached to Sonic as a character and over the past maybe 3 years it clicked; I wanted to _be like_ Sonic. I wasn't a girl. I was a boy. I wanted to sound like Sonic, I wanted to be loved as he is, recognised as a guy like he is, to have his confidence and pride in who he is. Sonadow is a ship that I do like a lot, even if I'm not too fussed about shipping. but Sonadow content helped me explore different dynamics and made me self examine how I would like to be perceived in a relationship. I wanted to have a boyfriend, while being a boyfriend. SonAmy was also similar where content relating to it made me realise I also like girls, not to mention they're my two favourite characters and I'm nostalgic about them lmao. but yeah, major props to Sonadow, especially in content where Sonic is often depicted as trans! because that's me, I'm trans, and I love Sonic! edit: got my first transphobic comment! anyway I'm a big scary queer transsexual with a beard and there's nothing anyone can say about it

[@Twilord_]

I can only speak from a cis gay perspective BUT I think the layer of abstraction with them being anthropomorphic characters helps.

[@celpas]

lol i have a weird amount of trans friends who realized they were trans because of sonic, weird that it seems to be a global thing

[@dhampir_days]

​​@@mo3tron605 sorry can't hear you over my awesome tboy swag. if anything you must be the insecure one if you feel the need to be a transphobic piece of shit on a comment about my journey as a man that made me much happier and confident in myself because I wasn't pretending to be a girl for the sake of people like you. it must be sad, huh? seeing someone be happy and proud of themselves and being so butthurt that you can't help yourself but show off how transphobic you are. this is pure speculation ofc but often people who are transphobic are the ones who are the least secure in their own skin and gender. I don't owe you anything, you're a complete stranger in my notifications. I'm only writing this comment because I'm bored and the fact that you're just a pathetic nobody who wouldn't dare say it to my face is funny to me. you've also been doing it on a number of comments, telling people they can't be queer. first off, who made you the fucking police? do you really think hundreds of thousands of people are suddenly not queer because you say they aren't? second, get a hobby omg. I heard dnd is good, but then again you might try armchair diagnosing the other players because they're pretending to be bird people or elves or god forbid, a character of a different gender! look in the mirror bro, ask yourself why you're doing this. it can't be good for your mental health. btw I am in therapy, my therapist straight up told me there's no point trying to be a girl if I'm not and that I should be true to myself. I'm a boy, I'm a man with a beard, I'm transgender and there's nothing a youtube comment from a shithead like you can do about it

[@juxtaposedlime2734]

Some writers would either be disgusted at the notion of two of their most popular same-sex characters be shipped or just fuel the fandom delusion. Ian nailed how the ship would play without 'endorsing or unendorsing' the fans by keeping them in character. If Ian were to make them canon, he indeed wouldn't make them go all loveydovey because that's not how Sonic and Shadow work as characters, he'd make the relationship happen naturally and chill.

I just want to say THANK YOU for broaching this topic - especially during Pride Month. Being able to treat the Sonadow Ship as a hypothetical and serious writing topic without the stigmas that exist around toxic shippers/anti-LGBTQA agenda is really inspiring to me as a writer who tries my best to create relationships (whether they be platonic or romantic) that WORK on multiple levels regardless of gender or other things that have traditionally limited professionally produced writing or how writing is viewed after being produced. In the end, everyone will view the characters the way they want - and I truly adore that since good writing and characterization will ALWAYS bring out intense feelings in people - but being able to have a professional writer who's actually WRITTEN for Sonic media discuss the realistic dynamics of these two characters is really so inspiring 💫 Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! 🥰

I know this is done but I wanted to ask anyway, do you guys think that Shadow growing up 50 years ago would have an impact on their relationship or daily lives? I.E it takes him longer to learn new tech, and likes to fill their house with vintage furniture/ memorabilia or he has some internalized homophobia.

[@PinkWolfieLove]

It's been established in some games briefly. In TMOSTH, Shadow admits he's really bad at using computers. Considering he mostly lived on the Ark and his only friend was a very sweet little girl, I feel like he wouldn't have been exposed to prejudice or known how the average person lived. He was however created will all of the knowledge of Gerald Robotnik.

Thank you for thissss!!!

[@Um_identificador]

{Is it here in the KZbin comments that we ask questions, right?} What would a conversation between Neo Metal Sonic and Mecha Sonic (after the events of Scrapnik Island) about destiny and Eggman in general be like? Let's pretend that Neo Metal Sonic is having this mental dialogue with Mecha (similar to Scrapnik Island) and that in this state, Neo still retains a bit of rebelliousness/freedom of choice. Could Mecha convince Metal to overcome this hatred for Sonic? What would Metal's counterarguments be like?

[@Twilord_]

If you want a more timely reply you can ask on their Ko-Fi, BUT in theory they do get around to free questions eventually.

[@Um_identificador]

Thank you for clearing up my doubt.

[@nexisvids]

I just realized: "A lot of straight fans had Rouge or Sally be their awakening"... Assuming male fans :'U

[@Twilord_]

Or lesbians technically, but I was mostly poking fun at the group most likely to get pissy.

SONADOW EPISODE

[@somewhereperhaps]

Shadow helps me with my gender identity XD

[@Twilord_]

You mean the journey to identity in a world that keeps telling him what he is supposed to be, what they conditioned him to be and literally built his biology to be? - When none of it matches who he really is? I am not trans but I can kinda see it, and if so that is really cool!

[@PuzzlingPrince]

@@Twilord_ As another trans guy who feels the same as OP, you hit the nail on the head 👍

[@aceypoopoo7]

[@slateoffate9812]

More of a Sonic/Blaze shipper myself. Quietly hoping for a Sonaze Bumblekast like this one is Sonadow

[@riymeep6708]

Ah yes, another Sonaze shipper. We may be small in number compared to some of the major ships, but if we ask enough we can possibly get a Bumblekast

[@Pikatwig16]

Got here before the time stamps. Weird.

[@gracekim1998]

Wooo go Shadow 😊

[@quinn9915]

[@gabriellimedeiros-qy3jy]
