Well, aside from some things, it seems chill right now in the Sonic Fandom. I mean, there is still some nitpicks on Frontiers and Superstars, but things seem fine from what I have seen, especially on this Sonic website I go to. I could be wrong, though.
Video game enemies are some of my favorite aspects of video games cause they help characterize the world of the game (this is one reason why I love Pikmin so much) so of course I shifted the discussion to my weird hyperfixation

Depending on how toxic we are talking about, it could be a Kismesis or a Kismesis/Matesprit double reacharound.
Kismesis is the spade and is a romance born of hate
Matesprit is the heart and is typical romance where both love eachother
a Kismesis Matesprit Double reacharound is when one person hates and the other loves.

Mario enemies are probably my favorite thing about Mario as a franchise and part of the reason I loved Wonder so much is that it introduced so many and I just ****ing love them. So good
Not sure if I have any Sonic ship in specific. The closest thing would be me imagining Vector getting along really well with Blaze due to their senses of justice.
The biggest ship in media which I am a huge fan of doh, is Johnny Storm x Wyatt Wingfoot:
I could talk all day on why I would die on this day, but to make It simple: the ship just clicks with me.
Johnny being someone who has social skill issues and pretends to be cool to fit anywhere, Wyatt Wingfoot who is the son of a legendary American Football player but wants to exist beyond that legacy: both admiring each other and relating in various ways.
Now, It is true that Wyatt nowadays is dating She-Hulk... But just saying, I would love It if anyone at Marvel cooked something with this ship.
On the topic of Marvel and The Fantastic Four, there's something I've been wanting to share for a while here now that I remember. It is about the new movie and a personal hope of mine. It is kind of a touchy subject but hopefully people take It as well as possible.
So yeah, ya'll probably know how much I used to trash on the Tim Story movies back in the day for what they did to Sue Storm with Jessica Alba and all that... But believe It or not, there's an element from those movies I genuiely loved which I am praying makes its way to the new movie.
That being...
Making Alicia Masters (the Thing's wife) a PoC.
Now I know what some may be thinking: "Jotadé, that's cool that you want more diversity in media. But does this change really mean that much to you?"... Yes, It does and here's why:
For those who don't know, Alicia Masters is a blind artist who does sculptures. She's the daughter of the Fantastic Four villain Puppet Master, and his first encounter with the team was how she got to meet the Thing and fall in love with him because of how he was inside. He was one of the first characters in the comics besides the rest of the Four who valued Ben as a human and wasn't scared by his looks.
Now, why am I saying all of this? Well, I believe there's potential to make the connection between Ben and Alicia even deeper with the choice of making her a person of colour. Think about It: both are characters who are judged for being different (Ben because of being a rock person and Alicia due to her blindness which Puppet Master makes use of for his evil plans)... Wouldn't It also make sense if Alicia faced discrimination due to her blindness and as such she related to the Thing on a personal level?
And here's the cool part: what would be added by making Alicia Masters a PoC? Well, for starters the discrimination side would be even more apparent, but also, you can make Puppet Master a PoC as well, and I have this story concept of Puppet Master being someone who protected Alicia from racists and so which is why before meeting the F4 she really cares so much about his father. And wouldn't It be beautiful to show on the big screen a blind PoC showing to the audience that love has no borders, and that eventually we all find someone who relates and even feels in similar ways to us?
Also let's be real: the human side of the F4 is already bloated with people Who aren't PoCs, so I feel that this change would be really welcomed among modern fans.
It is also worth to note that the best F4 cartoon as of now (World's Greatest Heroes) also made Alicia as a PoC and It worked quite well imo:
So yeah, tl;Dr: making Alicia a PoC has potential to give more depth to her relationship with Ben Grimm, and would also add some needed diversity to the main F4 cast.
To those Who made It this far, thanks for reading this long text

For the record I'm talking from my own personal experiences. So I might be wrong on some things. But speaking as someone who's mainly invested in the Deadly Six right now, I've had by far the best experience with Tumblr.
Reddit though is hell for a D6 fan.
I don't remember DeviantART being too terrible in D6 content, but knowing all the weird stuff that goes on there...

I only saw snippets of the mid 2000s show and the movies from around the time so finding out she's not usually white is crazy, I get how people feel about Blade and Nick Fury lmao. Not a bad thing though of course
My right eye hurts a lot, ngl. Probably from using the phone so much and my sort of allergy with dog hair (today I saw both my uncle's, aunt's and neighbor's dogs).
I really should sleep, but my ADHD is kicking in really badly because I am currently having an anxious desire for the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
I know, It sounds kinda silly, but trust me: people like me have It tough to stay quiet when we get excited or hyped about something.

Yeah, my mother is currently trying to help me as well. She will likely give me something to relax myself such as a medicine if she sees I keep walking around the house.
