I have fallen in love with the sonic comics. Yes, I am officially a sonic fan now XD I picked one up on a whim once and decided to read from the beginning and I'm so glad I did because I've fallen in love with these two of the new characters! (and gotten to know all the others I only knew on the surface before from watching people play sonic games) The IDW Sonic The Hedgehog series is super fun and I got so invested during some parts.
And Tangle is so fun and lively and endearing, I really like her and her stretchy tail abilities. And whisper is so badass yet so cute and precious.
Whisper is very clearly someone who deals with heavy social discomfort and is very anxious about physical contact specifically. I think she's a wonderful representation of people who find it very difficult to have other people in their personal space or making physical contact, which is something I myself have always dealt with and never realised it wasn't normal. The way everyone traits this aspect of Whisper with respect is very heartwarming to see. They all give her the space she needs to grow comfortable with them in her own time. I love seeing her gradually grow okay with people getting up close to her or touching her, especially with Tangle. The moments where Whisper openly engages in a hug are so meaningful and impactful because that trust has to be *earned*.
So, here are these cuties crushing on each other and Tangle just wanting to be close to Whisper without making things overwhelming for her, though I think both really want a hug hehe. I appreciate them in all types of ships, be it as best friends or in a romantic sense. I just wanted to draw them having cute feelings hehe
