TART The Sequel (TART 4)

No Sonic, No Life

This entire chapter is literally just about Sonic X and Yona of the Dawn lmao

My mom was scrolling through netflix while Hannah was reading manga and I was playing Animal Crossing and she asked if we wanted to watch anything

I instantly yelled "Sonic X" lmfao

No, it's not like I forced them to watch the first episode with me and I totally didn't chant "Sonic X" over and over again until my mom broke under the pressure or anything *nervous laughter*

Sonic X is the equivalent to Pokemon or Sailor Moon for me >w< I seriously didn't watch any kind of cartoons growing up; no anime, no Cartoon Network, no Nickelodeon, I didn't even watch Disney channel (literally all I ever watched was Disney movies)

But Sonic X was an exception :'> I think I was five years old and my family and I were visiting my family here in Norway and we were at my aunt's house (not my favorite aunt but the other one lol)

My cousin is two or three years older than me so Hannah and I were hanging out with him (which must've been kinda weird because the two of us only spoke English and he only spoke Norwegian lol) and we were in his room and he put on Sonic X

So that first episode always reminds me of sitting on his bed and being so captivated by Sonic X (I had to watch it in Norwegian though so I had no idea what was going on lmao). I'm pretty sure I was allowed to borrow the DVD because I remember watching Sonic X on this tiny DVD player at my grandfather's house (where we were staying)

And then I loved it so much that when we went back to the states, my parents had to buy the DVDs for me XD I tried re-watching it several times growing up but I never made it to the third season so I seriously have no idea what goes on there >_<

My childhood fear was definitely the ghosts from that one episode about the haunted mansion or whatever

And I have deep emotional scars from that episode where Sonic nearly dies (at the end of season 2) T_T Sonic was my first crush lmfao and seeing him getting beat up and nearly dying, and then seeing Chris crying and alshalsjals THAT DID SOMETHING TO ME

I even had little Sonic X teddies and I refused to sleep without them >w< The first nightmare I remember was Sonic trying to save me but he was too late and I got a shot from Dr Eggman lmfao

And then the teenagers that lived at my daycare (if you've been reading my books for a while, you should know that these were very influential people in my life and they meant the world to me) would let me go to their room while everyone else took a nap and I would get to watch them play Sonic games and ahhh TwT

I'm sorry lmao I know most of you haven't even heard of Sonic X but after watching the first episode today, I needed to ramble about this and there's no one I can talk to about this because no one around me shares my love for Sonic!! XD Sonic and Disney were my absolute favorite things growing up >_<

—

I can't tell if I'm more in love with Hak, Hak & Yona's relationship, or "Yona of the Dawn" as a whole

I seriously cant contain myself while watching it, I keep rolling around in bed and squealing and giggling at everything because IM IN LOVE WITH HAK AND IM IN LOVE WITH THE FACT THAT HE'S IN LOVE WITH YONA AND ALUDPQKLD
