wow, something must have happened to me since then and now.
is it that i started playing ddr again and realized i have a soft spot for this sound?
is it that i somehow plunged myself headfirst into being a full-on sonic fangirl, after years of repression?

★★★ diamond in the sky. god that arp just makes me melt.
i don’t know if i wrote about this before, but i remember renting sonic heroes shortly after it came out. it was ok. i think i started getting frustrated once i hit the casino stage, as is normal. but amidst all that, i distinctly remember two thoughts sticking with me:
- something about it grabbed me
- in the back of my mind, i remember thinking
”this is something i should be ashamed of liking”
like it’s cheesy, and corny, and bad, and stuff. and as i grew older, and witnessed the sonic 06 debacle, and saw all the angry fans, i was glad that i was not a sonic fan. and once i encountered sonichu, i was glad i was not a sonic fan. and then the ironic sonic era came around, and everyone memed on sonic – myself included.
then something happened in the past couple years – maybe after the release of mania. and i don’t want to say that i was caving into pressure… but maybe it’s more that the rise in social acceptability has made it just ok enough for me to accept what i’ve been repressing all along. honestly, sonic is kinda comfy for me. they’re cute characters, with personalities that i enjoy, and at least a couple of them that i’ve let myself become sexually committed to. and plus it seems like a nice enough fandom.
i think i can love sonic, and that’s scary to me, because on the deepest level it represents something i consider shameful. but maybe i was wrong all along, or maybe that which lacks dignity deserves the most vindication. i don’t really know. i just want to be happy in this world.
