I'm Not Surprised That The Fandom Is Divided In Two Moods After This Scene

That is correct.

Twi’lek headbands are just head bras and no one can change my mind

Serotonin. Thank you

I probably will never finish this, so here is a rough sketch of Sonic and Tails.

Actual footage of Hunter telling Rex about his encounter with Cad Bane

They got me

I’m gonna say it... THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

THE FANFICS ARE CANON?

Tails keeping his kitchen stocked with Cans of chilli and Hot Dogs for whenever Sonic crashes at his lab, THEY ARE BROTHERS YOUR HONOUR

I WIP I did after being inspired by IDW #55 and @starrjoy stunning artwork found here.

“Alright, fox boy! You ready to have some real fun?” Surge threw Tails onto the floor, knocking the Miles Electric out of his hand. He tried to reach for the device, but was stopped as his capture stomped on his back. “Not so fast!”

“Whatever you’re planning, Sonic’s going to stop you!” Even if he was beaten and held hostage, no way was Tails about to show weakness. 

“Hah! Keep telling yourself that, kid! ‘Cause once we’re done here, I won’t be the only one he has to stop.”

That… did not sound good. Tails hated to admit it, but he was starting to get nervous. Surge dragged him by his left tail over to a large computer setup. She flipped him onto his back, pressed her foot on his chest to keep him in place, then proceeded to pull a glove with a strange stone on it. It sort of resembled Starline’s with the Warp Topaz, but different. Surge put it on her left hand, almost disgusted by it.

“This thing… caused us so much pain. I thought it was gone for good when I threw HIS into the fire pit, but it seems he had an extra… Lucky us.” 

With that, she slammed it down on Tails’s face. “Let’s get started!”

———

“So, this is the place?” Sonic asked as he turned to Kit. 

“Y-yes, sir. This is where we… w-where we lived.” The young fennec’s voice was more meek than usual. After Surge took off with Tails, the blue duo chased after them. Honestly, Sonic was surprised Kit stayed with him instead of going back to her. The hedgehog wanted to know if there was anywhere Kit thought Surge would go. This was the only one that came to mind. One of Eggman’s bases in the middle of the desert. 

“Huh. Starline sure made himself comfortable.” As the two made their way into the base, Sonic looked at Kit. “So, tell me again why you two had it out for us? We never met, yet Surge acted like I was her sworn enemy.” 

“W-we were… because… y-you…” Kit mumbled. 

Sonic didn’t understand. He knew the kid was on edge, but he couldn’t make out what he was trying to say. He was more of a nervous wreck than when Sonic first met Tails. Tails…

“Don’t worry,” Sonic reaffirmed. “That whacky doctor won’t bother you again.” The feelings were mixed. Sonic never considered death an option, unless there was no other way, but Starline caused so much trouble. Bringing Eggman back, which led to the Metal Virus, trying to capture Tails, kidnapping Belle, and now whatever he did to Surge and Kit. It must have been bad, but… he was gone now. All that mattered was finding Tails. His little brother was tough and smart. He… he would definitely be alright. 

"Can I ask... why you call Tails your 'brother'?" Kit asked. You two aren't even the same species. How can that be?"

Sonic shook his head in amusement. "It's true we're not blood, but that doesn't make him any less of a brother to me." Kit turned his head in confusion. "We've been together for years. We both didn't really have anyone before, but when we met, we just clicked. I helped him be more confident in himself, and he's saved my skin more times than I can count. He always has my back, and I can count on him for anything. Because of him... my life changed. I wasn't going it solo anymore, and now I can't imagine my life without him."

"You mean, he's that important to you?"

"More important than anyone else."

Kit led Sonic down the endless hallways. Suddenly, he stopped at one door on the right side. His pale face went paler. He started to shake and breathe heavily, like he was having a panic attack. Was there something in there? 

“Stay here,” the blue hero told Kit. Sonic slowly walked into the room. There were giant test tubes of some sort of green liquid. They were big enough for Sonic to fit in, which made him even more unnerved. His eye caught something on the floor. Papers with sketches and writing on them. “Homing attack,” “Spin dash,” some kind of cycle of him vs Eggman. Why did Starline have all these notes? Sonic then saw more papers on the table. Designs for what looked like Surge and Kit, like different models of them. What struck him the most was was one image of a person with robotic replacements. Just then, the pieces started coming together, and Sonic felt his stomach drop. 

“He... made you?” 

Sonic looked back at Kit, who was now shaking up a storm. His eyes glowing with a horrific gleam. Some of the water was leaking from his pack, swishing around like frantic arms. “H-hurt us… changed us… m-made us forget… to… r-replace you…” 

Finally, Surge’s words before made sense. She blamed Sonic. He admitted didn’t quite understand what she was going on about in their first fight. She was ranting in anger, like throwing a tantrum, so he wasn’t sure what to make of it at the time. Now he did. Starline stole Surge and Kit’s lives, their identities, their freedom… everything for his plan. Sonic was ready to fight tooth and nail to save Tails, but now…

Sonic made his way back, knelt down and placed his hand on the crying fennec. “I’m sorry, Kit. I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything to stop him. But he can’t hurt you anymore. And once this is over, the both of you can live however you want.” 

Kit sniffled, wiping the tears from his eyes. “B-both of us?” The water tendrils began to recede.

“We’re going to save Tails, and Surge. She’s important to you too, right?” Kit nodded his head. Sonic ruffled the kid’s hair, stood up, turned his head toward the door at the end of the room, and took a deep breath. “Let’s get this over with.” 

As if the last area wasn’t “cheery” enough, this room had even more test tubes. Sonic was just relieved they all looked empty. He couldn’t even begin to imagine what being trapped in there was like. 

“Hey! I know you’re watching! We’re here!” Surge came out from behind one of the tubes in front of them in response to Sonic’s voice. She has a cautious air about her, not sure what to expect but ready to fight. “Listen, I don’t want to fight you. Just let Tails go, and we can all walk away.” 

Surge’s attention was more focused on Kit. She slowly clenched her fists, electricity sparking. “After everything we’ve been through… what they’ve done to us… you go and join him?! I TOLD YOU YOU COULD ONLY TRUST ME! I TRUSTED YOU!!!” The anger and hurt in her voice was immense as the lightning she discharged. Sonic could even see some tears forming. She truly felt betrayed. 

Kit hid behind Sonic, cowering in fear and guilt. “I… I didn’t mean…” 

“Don’t be mad at him,” Sonic quickly defended. “He just didn’t know what to do. I was wrong, I thought you didn’t survive the fall from before. If I had… look, just tell me where Tails is. Please. We don’t have to fight.” 

Surge stared at her feet, trying to recompose herself. “Well then…” she turned back with glowing eyes. “Too bad it’s not up to you.” 

Suddenly, something slammed into Sonic, sending him flying to the other side of the room.

“Mr. Sonic!” Kit cried out. 

Sonic tried to pick himself up, holding the side of his head that hit against the wall. As his vision refocused, he saw his attacker. The last person he ever expected. 

“Tails? What are you—“ his sentence was cut off as Surge lunged at his throat. They collided with another wall as her grip tightened. “W-what… did you do?” he gasped. 

“Simple justice,” she cooed with venom in her voice. “You take my sidekick, I take yours.” 

“Tails would never turn against me! Right, little bro?” The fox was silent, stone cold gaze staring back. “Tails…” Sonic faced many horrors in his life, but nothing came close to the dread he felt from what he heard next. 

“I don’t know you.” 

—————

NOTES: I cut out Eggman and the Wisps so I could focus more on these four. I wrote this up before we got the Prime clip of Sonic and Tails, but it made me even more emotional seeing how sad Sonic was when Tails didn’t know who he was. Let alone fight him. Kit's question was a last minute addition, and I think it really makes what happens at the end hit even harder. 😢

Thanks again to @starrjoy for letting me write about her mini AU. 

Ahsoka Tano is my religion.

Can we just acknowledge the fact that Ahsoka even still being alive is a fucking miracle in and of itself and that this chick has been through and seen some shit?

She fought in the Clone Wars.

She fought in the Rebellion.

She’s cried, laughed, been callous, snarky, wrong, right, funny, screwed up, been triumphant, lost, is loving, daring, confident, and humble.

She is everything a strong character should be, and we have been blessed to be able to go on this amazing journey with her so far.

This girl has LITERALLY seen it all. I would do ANYTHING this wonderfully damaged, compassionate, strong, resilient woman said without question. And I wouldn’t even bat an eye.

She IS our queen.

Okay... Why are you sending me this?

People hating on irondad in 2025... WE ARE SO BACK lol

Twitter bros and sisters who say Tony manipulated Peter into the fight in CW are completely misreading the situation and ignoring the context of their relationship

First of all, Tony did not create Spiderman. When Tony met Peter, Peter was ALREADY out there fighting crime on his own, risking his life with a homemade suit THAT HE CREATED HIMSELF. He didn’t need manipulation to be a hero, he already was one. Tony didnt ruin Peters life at all, Peter was gonna be a hero whether Tony liked it or not, he was stopping carjackers, robbers and helping civilians long before Tony ever approached him. SHIELD or another hero would have eventually discovered Peters abilities and probably treated him worse. Imagine if Fury found Peter first, he would've treated him like a disposable soldier at least Tony gave Peter protection, mentorship and guidance... just because its not the hero you like doesnt mean that wouldnt be the case

them: 'tony was so manipulative! poor kid! making him fight in CW!'

also them: 'Omg spiderman should've been on Cap's side!!''

So are you angry that Peter was there fighting in Berlin or mad because he was on Tony's side? lol

The only reason Tony found him was because Peter was already putting himself in danger. Let's not pretend Tony didnt say 'you need an upgrade, THIS IS WHY I'M HERE FOR' he knew everything about this kid and wanted to help him.

If anything Tony was more protective than manipulative. He brought Peter in but also made sure he stayed on the sidelines during the fight. Peter wasnt tasked with taking down any of the bigger threats, his main job was to contain people. Tony told him to stay back and web people up. Tony thought of team cap as FAMILY back then and those are AVENGERS people who are supposed to protect the earth, he didnt bring Peter to fight in a HYDRA facility. Peter was fully aware that he was fighting THE AVENGERS

Look at what Cap did:

(not my edit)

And look at what he did to Sharon Carter lol PEGGY'S niece

Tony set more boundaries for Peter than any other adult:

Steve dropped a multi-ton jetway onto Peter in CW and then left him there, he didn't need to do that and if you think Steve would've stopped for Peter instead of Bucky, you're severely mistaken. Again, look at what he did to Sharon.

Talos under Furys instructions had SHIELD send a 16 year old to fight gigantic elementals, threats they themselves couldnt handle, rather than calling more experienced heroes. He manipulated Peter into fighting and got mad when the kid CRIED when told he wasnt living up to expectations of people more experienced than him.

Strange teleported Peter onto the battlefield in Endgame forcing him into the fight against Thanos, an experience that was even more traumatic.

May pressured Peter into helping the multiversal villains in NWH, even after he told her it wasnt his responsibility and was beyond his control. Peter BLAMES himself for her death.

Tony is literally the only one who actively tried to limit Peters involvement in dangerous situation, he:

Saved the kid in IW after he got himself involved, sent Peter back and wanted him out of the fight.

After the fight in CW when Peter gets hurt Tony immediately pulls him out and tells him to go home. A truly manipulative person would have disregarded Peters safety but Tony cared.

Stopped him every time he saw things were too much for the kid.

Respected Peters wishes to stay a 'friendly neighborhood spiderman' and let him go.

They're out there fighting tooth and nail the same old ''peter was too young to think for himself and would have sided with Cap' that argument ignores Peters personality, values and agency. The funny part? The same people who complain that MCU Peter lacks agency are the ones stripping it away from him every chance they get. They just don't want to admit peter's own morals align with tony's side, even before Tony entered his life Peter was already operating under his own moral code: 'When you can do the things that I can but you don’t and then the bad things happen... they happen because of you.' That belief system aligns with Tonys stance in CW, heroes need accountability because their actions affect people

If Peter truly believed in Steves cause he wouldnt have joined Tony. Hes said NO to other heroes like Doctor Strange, he basically told Strange NO in all of NWH lol He said NO to Tony in Homecoming when Tony tried to ground him warning him about the Vulture, even after taking the suit. He said NO to joining the Avengers, said NO to Tony in IW. Stop acting like Peter cant say no, this kid defies authority all the time. He said it himself, he was tired of Tony treating him like a kid all the time.

Do you think peter would do what Cap did in CW? Did he do that in NWH? NO. Peter would never have put his personal attachments above doing the right thing. Hes not someone who blindly prioritizes personal loyalty over accountability

Peter with 15 years of living gave up the opportunity to dance with Liz Allan to do the right thing and stop the bad guy, Peter with 17 years of living gave up his entire life and future just to do the right thing in NWH. Meanwhile Steve with centuries of life experience chose to stay in the past and live out his days with Peggy instead of staying in the present to help Bucky heal, support Sam becoming Captain America and continue aiding people after big ass events like the Snap and the Blip. They're not the same.

CONCLUSION!!

Peter is a young hero in a world of adults. This constant theme of adults asking too much of Peter and not recognizing his limitations contributes heavily to the emotional trauma that Peter experiences across the MCU and Tony is actually one of the only people in Peters life who consistently tries to protect his agency and set boundaries for him. The thing that all of these situations have in common is that Peters agency is often stripped away and it paints a picture of a young hero who was constantly thrown into battles without enough consideration for his growth and mental well being and thats a key reason why Peters character arc is so compelling, he is learning not just to be a hero but to navigate the emotional fallout from all the pressure put on him. LEARN how to love other adaptations instead of crying about your fuck ass comic driven desires for the character, THIS IS MCU PETER

You people just follow whatever the most liked tweet says, try thinking for yourself for once

Tails wasn't even part of the resistance when Sonic showed up, which means Tails is eventually gonna get that found family, except the first person who's ever shown him kindness won't be a part of that when he has to go

IM SICK, IM CRYING, SCREAMING AND THROWING UP
