finalhazard:

listen man i love that sonic is such a happy, positive guy as much as anyone else but also at the same time he’s literally 15 and so far he has had to deal with:

• Station Square getting destroyed by Perfect Chaos (SA)
  
• Westopolis getting destroyed by the Black Arms (ShTH)
• Prison Island getting blown up, probably with people still inside (SA2)
  
• Amy being held at gunpoint by Eggman (SA2)
• Shadow falling to his ‘death’ right in front of him (SA2)
• Having to fight a brainwashed Tails (Colors)
• Believing Amy and Knuckles were gone and that Tails would be brainwashed into a robot (Lost World)
• Shahra sacrificing her own life in order to save him (Secret Rings)
• Losing Chip (Unleashed)
• Watching all his friends be consumed by the Time Eater on his own birthday (Generations)
• Just having to save the world and be everyone’s rock in general
• (there’s probably a lot more i’m missing)
  

like sonic……sweetheart……i know you want to watch over everyone and not make anybody worry but do you need to talk to somebody??? it’s ok if you’re not happy-go-lucky all the time??? internalizing bad feelings is bad????? REALLY THO PLEASE TALK TO SOMEBODY????
