Merry Christmas, everyone in this website! I hope you all will have a happy holiday! Although I got a cold so I cannot go visit my family for that! So I have to stay all alone in my own apartment this year, But at least I'll have a nice feast and a nice Christmas marathon by reading some christmas stories like my fanfiction I made last year "Hanna's Squirrel tale" and watching some movies like Muppets christmas carol, Home Alone 1 and 2, Mickey's Christmas carol, A Charlie Brown christmas and some christmas musics! I hope my Christmas will be netter next year than this year!


So, happy holidays, all of you!

Hi, everyone. Bad news! My paternal aunt (my dad's older sister) Marianne died from pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy drugs didnt help from the cancer. It only got worse. She didnt make it no matter how hard she tried. When me, my mom and my older were off to visit my aunt before her death but my uncle called my mom on the phone that she already died today recently but he let us see her anyway. One last time. my other relatives were at their home for her. damn, this was the very first time I ever seen a dead body in real life. But it's pretty at all. Just heartbreaking and sad to watch. We felt her cheek and hand as a say farewell to her. We grieved. I embraced with my brother, cousins, my uncle and cousins children in grief. I remember my family visited my aunt and uncle for parties, heck I remember she bought roses I sold at school 11 years ago. It sucks that she is gone forever. But at least she's reunited with my grandpa and their dogs.


After I came home, I cried more, feeling depressed, broken, singing Lilo and Stich version song of "Aloha Oe", listening to sad music like those. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tKj2vlydeI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6cYHXcWAN0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BYbPjlujc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1XUS1D7yhM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7wPMh_9V0w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CK2hx377iU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAVnGvRwXew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-7lvINrYPw


Man, it sucks ass that cancer took our loved ones away from us. Like how pancreatic cancer took my co worker's friend away from her. And how leukemia took my Mexican friend's female friend away from him and her family.


Damn you, cancer!

Recently.I saw some news that Sega embraced Elise by having her skating with Silver on a calendar. Like this. https://www.thegamer.com/sonic-princess-elise-appearence-new-art-design/?newsletter_popup=1



AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE! I heard some people happy that Sega embraces her but Im not happy at all.




I was very pissed off at this. Elise doesnt deserve a second chance after how The Sonic 2006 ruined the franchise. Elise is the main reason. Look, I have nothing against furry X Human (like ROger and Jessica from Who framed Roger Rabbit?) as long as it's done right. But the realtionship between Sonic and Elise is so poorly written, toxic, unnatural, unhealthy, lame, insincere, stupid, aggravating, contriving. There is nothing heart warming, innocent and sweet at all. I never consider Elise as a kind or sweet character. Just a bratty, egocentric, creepy, obnoxious, annoying object mary sue who has no potentials whatoever. Her backstory is lame. I have no sympathy towards her at all. She's not even a traig character in my eyes. Elise seems to be expressing her emotions and sealing Iblis inside to not crying i lame. Heck, she doesnt seem to suffer at all. She doesn even seem to understand duties at all. More like a person who's very used to get whatever she want whenever she wants I heard people argue that she and Sonic work better as just platonic friends but I highly. Their platonic friendship is just as infuriating to watch as being a romantic relationship and Sonic should not warm up to this brat. He was just a pushover, a simp towards her throughout the game. Even in the finale where he is still a stupid pushover. After whining that she doesn't care about the world. Heck, Sonic in this game is very unlikable. Not just the Mario ripoff. But he is very melodramatic, wimpy, simp, moron and insanely despicale, unreaonably overly serious, immature and selfish. Insanely unhealthily obsessed. He's so full of himself by thinking that Elise matter to him than anyone including the world. Only reason he saved the world in this game is because it's just for her. Not for the world itself not his loved ones. He seems very passive aggressive towards other around him. He seems the that he wishes anyone to get off his case to save Elise. Heck I dont feel sorry for him when he cried over Elise. He looks like he's about to throw temper tantrum like a bratty kid. I dont buy the whole advices or messages thing about expressing emotions and such. It felt like he spoils her to and advices her to be more self entitled. Besides,Sonic doesnt help Elise because she is helpess, tragic or lonely. He just helped because he's lusting over her and even imping for her in the most unhaelthy way No matter I heard about the defences of the game and Elise but none of them convinces me at all. I can understand Shadow and Silver. Sure Elise might have nothing to do with their stories but she's still there nonetheless. And not even the good parts will stop me from avoiding the game.


Plus, Sonic saying "Just Smile" after Elise whined about not giving a shit about the world, I was like "What kind of reaction was that?" Yet I heard some might find this sweet but the scene comes off as dense and immature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjh6vUfo1nM


Im also not endeared with interactions with Elise and Amy at all. It's really not comfortable. Including the scene where Amy gave Elise to with the heart of someone you love but she didnt know it turned out the be Sonic. This is really shady . Im also not comfortable with how Am was not affected by Elise kissing Sonic right in front of her. I get it seemed mature to that Amy would accept Sonic to be with someone. And I have nothing against that because Amy genuinely loves Sonic and cares about his happiness. But in the context of the game, It makes Amy seem so spineless.


I heard that a human woman called Madonna was going to be Sonic's girlfriend until she got scrapped (Thank god. Her design looks more like a prototype version of Madame Medusa from Disney's The Rescuers rather than hot femme fatales like Jessica Rabbit fro Who framed Roger Rabbit and Red from Tex Avey shorts. I also wish Sega should acknowledged that Madonna was poorly designed ano not sexy at all). Seeing Elise in that game just proves why Madonna was scrapped from Sonic game in the first place.


I come across some or many people lashed out on me trying to guilty when I said someting bad about Elise and how I expressed anger and disgust about her kissing Sonic. Giving me the "If it wasnt's for Elise, Sonic would have died" crap on me. I dont give a fuck she revives her. She doesnt earn it. The game just spoils her rotten. It just serves her on a golden or silver platter. Nothing earned at all. It bevahes like she's the best and important. Like a friend of mine told me "Elise is such a bad character that she is not even a character, she is just a plot device, her actions do not trigger actions, she is part of the actions, she is not helping the team, she is getting rescue by the team, she is not helping the characters grow, the characters act like they idolize her, and worship her. Especially Sonic.


Man, why would anyone like her?, she does nothing, and the fact that she was able to revive Sonic was a deus ex machina, just something that came out of nowhere, and was never explained how it actually worked, it just did, and she knew how to do it, when early in the game its never mentioned she knows of the ritual, the writers behind the game pulled it out of their asses meaning there was no reason for it to happen." and also my friend told me this. "The dialogue on that game is sooooo cheesy for crying out loud!, it looks like a teen obsesed with Sonic wrote it, and shipped her oc with Sonic, everybody worships Elise and claims how important, beautiful, and strong she is, then again, she does nothing, and its never revealed why her blood line could seal away Solaris inside their bodies, how?, is her family part deity?, was one ancestor of hers the one who sealed Solaris in the first place?, its never reveal, and yet, they can harness the power of the master emeralds, like, they are humans, how come Eggman never do that?, but nope!, lets not explain! , good god!"


The game tries way too hard to be mature and dark but it comes off as pretentious, bratty, narcissitic, biased, dumb, annoying, insensitive, smug, full of itself, passiv aggressive, condescending and emotionally manipulative. It's more than just a rushed game. Heck the game seems to throw a tantrum if the player choses Amy in Trial of Love and the priest seems dissapointed in it. It felt that it thinks Sonic and Elise is the best couple ever. It's supposed to be 15th anniversary celebration but it comes off as trying to be the next Final Fantasy and also a bad fanfiction written by a spoiled brat who inserts her/his OC to pair Sonic while his friends are poorly treated to make Elise look more superior than others. Plus, her design is so awful in the eyes that I just wanna bleach them.


Me and my friend discussed about bad the game and Elise are.


I heard people argue that Japanese dub is better than the English. But I disagree. It doesnt what dub it is. the bad storytelling is still there. No matter what dub it is. And another thing a friend of mine told me this "Dub does not make a story better, if its shittier, it remains shit tier, nothing changes, just some jokes, puns, etc. So the argument that the japanese dub makes the game better changes nothing, there is still no reason why Elise's family can use the powers of chaos, and where her powers come from, like really, its just a bad written fanfic"


Even her cameos are very lackluster. Plus, Im annoyed how the 30th anniversary brought up Elise and her god awful theme song.


While i admit the music score for the game is good but sometimes they can be emotionally manipulative and "My Destiny" song is the worst song. It also tries way too hard make me feel sorry for her. Giving her a theme song doesn maker her any more tolerable and less unlikable. it actually makes even more aggravating and insufferable.


I wish Sega (including Sega of Japan) should acknowled the fact embracing Elise is such a bad idea, how toxic Elise herself and the game really is. And how much of an overly glorified and spoiled character she. And Sega should embrace the fact that Sonic 06 game itself is patronizingly poorly written. I always feared she would show up again.And also Sega whould acknowledge Sonic's behaviour in this game too.


I've seen many people on internet consider the game to be underrated gem and prefer it over other Sonic games like Lost World, Forces, Boom games and such. To be honest. I dont mind those games in question. I'm willing to embrace them (including the story plot) more than 06 in spite of their flaws. But at least they're not condescending or toxic. I can confidentally say that I find Sonic Boom games including Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric to be way better than 06.


I find the game itself to be also overly defended and so is Elise. And they are still the biggest lowpoint of the franchise. Also I wish Sega should embrace Shahra the genie girl from Sonic and alot more. She's a very likable and well written character, her chemistry with Sonic is natural and well written. Not to mention genuinely wholesome.


Seriously. Elise totally reminds me of Swifty from Sonic Boom in some ways. For those who dont know my opinions about him. check on my comments on meme down below. https://inkbunny.net/s/2881000


Im aware there people who enjoy the game and like her. All power to you. I just cant stand the game and her,


I tried my best to describe my opinions about the game and Elise herself.


My message to Sega: Be carefeul what you're accepting and embracing..
