2024 notes/edits: used to be realllllyy into this when I was younger. Still have some fondness for it when they're both in hedgehog form.. (human Maria x shadow just makes me uncomfortable. Sorry.) if you create a new au I think shadaria *could* work! And I enjoy reading comics n such where shadaria are together in a universe separated from canon.
But of course if we *only* take canon stuff into account I completely understand why someone would dislike this :P
I think it's the nostalgia I really like. Plus they're really cute in hedgehog form.
Rating: 4/10
TLDR: can I get uhhhh... only good in fanon au with a side of nostalgia? Thanks.

This used to be one of my biggest otps years ago when I first started getting into sonic, but now I don't have those same fond feelings of this ship. I think the fan art is super cute and I think the idea is very compelling, but seeing how Maria and Shadow really interact with each other makes me lean more towards a platonic relationship. Maybe even platonic soulmates?
They clearly care about each other on a deep level and share a connection, so I won't say this ship has no grounds, but it isn't for me :)
