KNUCKLES!!
I. Fucking. LOVE. Knuckles. I think that already is pretty obvious. But I don't think you understand how much my level of obsession goes to. He is my favorite fictional character in all of time.
To me, Knuckles just IS cool. Shadow is a character desperately made to be cool, but he is nowhere near the level of cool that Knuckles is. Knuckles is fucking AWESOME. He was born alone on an island, and is not only the last of his tribe, but the last of his fucking SPECIES as well. He spent his entire fucking LIFE on this island, guarding the master emerald with his LIFE. His level of DEDICATION to it is INCREDIBLE. It's his main goal, his TRIBULATION, this master emerald.
Growing up alone on this island has made him incredibly naive, and he has difficulty understanding other people due to this isolation he faced his whole life. I relate to this on a deep level, as I am autistic and also have trouble understanding other people. Many people think Knuckles is stupid. Knuckles is not stupid. His naiveity, his loneliness, his isolation, has led people to believe this. But he is not stupid. There is a big difference.
Recent Sonic media has perpetuated this lie of Knuckles being stupid, but that is not who he is. He is a deep and complex character who does not deserve the slander he receives.
I love Knuckles. Welcome to my Knuckles shrine.
