Just Saw Someone Say That S*nadow Gets More Hate Than Sontails. What

Sorry I can't get them out of my brain.

Movie!Sonic waking up movie!Tails at dark o'thirty. Tails groans and rubbing at his eyes, starting to ask Sonic what's going on before Sonic cuts him off, holds out a hand, offers to go on a nighttime race (no one will find out). The two race up to the highest point in Green Hills (Sonic wins, of course, but Tails is getting faster), but instead of running home afterwards, Sonic reveals to Tails that he was actually bringing him up to show him something. Sonic, woke Tails up, raced him to the peak, all so they could take in the sunrise on earth together.

Sonic and Tails curling around each other, cuddling in Sonic's racecar bed while Maddie and Tom are out of the house.

Thinking also of the first time Movie!Tails experiences a thunderstorm on Earth (early into his friendship with movie!Sonic). Tails instinctively grabbing onto Sonic for comfort, trying to apologize initially, but becoming too scared to do anything more than hold on. Sonic getting the instinct to push Tails away, not expecting the sudden physical touch, but ultimately (tentatively) wrapping his arms around Tails and pulling him close. He's no good at things like this, but he does his best, telling Tails that everything will be alright, trying to talk about things that may he scarier to the fox than the thunderstorm in hopes that that'll lessen his fear. And by the time it's over, Tails is apologizing for latching on to Sonic so suddenly, for probably making him uncomfortable. And, sure, Sonic won't lie that there was a level of awkwardness to it, he wasn't fully comfortable. But, despite this, his heart is warm, and his arms feel...empty now that Tails isn't in them. Strange, right? In the end, Sonic tells him it's no problem, just to try to warn him next time before he just suddenly latches on.

Or even...Sonic running to the kitchen to get a midnight "snack", only to get stuck in the doorway, staring at Tails—who's leaning against the kitchen counter and staring off into space, absentmindedly sipping on some hot chocolate. Maybe Tails notices him eventually, and as Sonic rushes to make his snack, trying to avoid the fact that he'd been caught staring, Tails prepares another round of hot chocolate (for the both of them this time)

Idk I just need them soft I need them domestic I need them navigating their weird friendship I need them feeling warm around each other and being embarrassing about it

when did that happen

I was waiting for an excuse to draw them

Also an old sketch I drew back in February hope this post won't get deleted

I can't come up with a caption

Do crossover ships count? I ship him with Pinstripe Potoroo from Crash Bandicoot, nerd x mobster is fun

While I'm taking a little break, have some sontails fueled sonic boom screenshots that I really like

Where you looking at, buddy...

Them........

That's Tails's first instinct?? Jumping wherever Sonic is?? Okay man

Headcanon that Sonic just randomly picks up Tails whenever he want to and Tails just has to deal with this

Honestly man I think you're just looking for any excuse to get in between Sonic's legs

That's not how people look at their friends, bro

Also bonus knuxtails because look at them

Tumblr hates me and breaks my posts. Suggestive under the cut tread carefully

What do you think would happen when Tails introduces Sails Mangey and Nine to mints?

Oooh good question!

ㅤ

Sails:

Honestly, since we don't know all that much about No Place, I like to think that mints are still a thing, just the kind of thing that Sails has to sneak on the ship and can only get once in a while. So whenever he was able to get them before, he kind of had to ration em out.

That also being said, I think it would be funny if the mints in no place don't look like the ones Tails offers to Sails. So at first Sails hesitates to eat it, although he has no reason to distrust Tails, so he does try it. I can see Sails sort of commenting his thoughts aloud on how it tastes, but ultimately he probably tries to sneak some mints off of Tails.

Although Tails is pretty much like "You can just ask. I've got a bunch"

So whenever Sails visits from No Place he lets Tails and the others try the mints from No Place, and he uh takes a good amount of Tails' mints back to No Place with him

However, if Sails has never tried any mints before, I think he'd become hooked pretty quickly (still explain the taste out loud you know) and end up trying to snatch some before Tails is like "Hey, just ask and you can have as much as you want"

ㅤ

Mangey:

Hohoho boy

While there's at least a decent chance Mangey has just straight up eaten mint plants before, I think he would become pretty hooked as well. In my head, I think he'd keep begging for more after Tails initially gives him one to try, and it gets so out of hand that Tails, Sails, and Nine have to consciously keep mints out of sight and locked up.

But before they realize how bad Mangey gets about them, Tails gives him like a tin or a small bag of mints he can take with him, and Mangey can't even make them last a day. He is in the presence of mints, he snacks on mints.

Just cause they hide em and lock em up doesn't mean that Mangey doesn't find them or that he's never allowed to have them. I think sometimes when Sails is playing that game with Mangey where he's working on something and Mangey plays assistant, they often use mints as something in exchange for helping when they're not exhanging kisses.

Nine:

While we know more about New Yoke than we do about most of the other shatterspaces, like with Sails I'd like to think Nine has had mints before. In this case, since nothing really grows within the city, I like to think that occasionally New Yoke will get mints in as an import.

Essentially, I think Nine used to see the resistance handing them out once in a blue moon after a successful raid or would see them sold on shady street corners and alleyways. He always tries to limit the contact he makes with people and the city itself, but he kind of had to to be able to get the matierals to create his equipment and have enough food to survive. So he managed to get ahold of a small handful out of curiosity.

It was too much of a pain to get ahold of more, so even though he liked them quite a bit, he almost never was able to get ahold of any.

With that all being said, I can see Nine sort of marveling for a moment how easy it was for Tails to get ahold of so many mints before remembering that green hill and Tails' world is much more plentiful than the city of New Yoke. I think after trying them when Tails offers, he's reminded just how good they are.

That being said, though, I think Nine would pretend that he likes them but of course has restraint, unlike the other two. So he would only take the one small bag or tin when Tails offered to give them more mints. Other times Tails offers, I think he starts out as begrudging but does eventually accept the gift of mints whenever Tails offers some.

If Mangey eats em like candy and Sails is always taking a large stash with him, though, even though he acts like he has more self control and is more normal about mints than them, that is a lie. After taking the first bag/tin back to The Grim with him, he starts figuring out how create a constant lifetime supply of mints there. He doesn't eat them like candy when he does accomplish this, but he still does eat mints about as often as I think Tails does. That's all to say that sometimes mints are just something he eats a couple of when he's bored, when his breath smells bad, occasionally when he needs to make deals with Mangey, as a special little treat when he feels down/accomplished something, and when he hasn't eaten in a while but needs to keep working, so he needs to trick his stomach into thinking its not starving by letting mints dissolve in his mouth.

In the event Nine has never had them before though, I'd think he'd still make a visual expression of enjoying the first one he tries, but he'd still try to be modest and seem "normal" about them by only taking one tin/bag of mints before he ultimately figures out how to keep a constant stash in The Grim like Tails does in his many labs

Thanks for the question, anon! If you have any other questions about them or their relationship(s), feel free to shoot me another ask🥰

I like to think about Tails being in a secret relationship with a feral, creepy looking fox that makes everyone uncomfortable just by existing

Hello???? Genius?????

OC inspired by this ask under the cut because OH MY GOd

I had to yk......
