What a great interview. Actually pretty touching to learn that this story was made up to make his brother laugh while he was losing his eyesight.

I really want to see a compilation of them reading all of the similes. Those are masterpieces. “Her voice was breaking like a talking toy that had one of it’s batteries halfway out and my brother spilled juice on it so it wouldn’t work right anymore.” has got to be my favorite simile.

Had to endure this video in 90 second bursts... needed to keep pausing to process what I'd just heard. Well done to all involved in the writing and production of this program.

I genuinely wanna see Sonic Highschool WWII Dragon in future episodes. Dear God this was beautiful XD

I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for “Anne Frank The Hedgehog” like I knew it was called Sonic high school WWII Dragon but I truly was not expecting that.

i could not be happier that the author wrote this story in complete earnest. he seems so awesome.

How is this guy skewering me about shower thoughts over actually doing it? And impressing me with his explanations of his childhood edginess? Geez, he comes off way more mature than I expected. Still got that little flair of interesting.
EDIT: Okay. So. We were kinda done with edgy teenage boy Sonic fic. But you know that now you have no choice, we must at least read the chapter of the sequel in which we first meet a little Jewish girl hedgehog.
EDIT: Oh, my God. 52:11 And now we have a vulnerable and honest expression of a guilty squeamishness about female anatomy that I have seen a lot of less mature gay dudes be defensive and sexist about. This guy is a good guy who got a lot of immaturity out, maybe through writing, as a kid and is at least close to being an adult, which is way better than most people.

An interview?! We finally get to see and hear what the author is like?! Edit: Oh it's just messages? I think of interviews being actually talking to someone in person or on a video call...

i can’t believe the author carries himself in dms just like how he writes and its driving me insane bc i dont know if its earnest or just a really really big bit that hes committed to

Now that's it's over, let me ask: Do we think the author is sincere, or did he know what he was doing all along? He never dropped character during the interview, either.

I love how the author writes the same way he did 12 years ago. It makes me wonder if he has some sort of autism or adhd but he’s very blunt about the things he says and how he explains things 🤔

Abolutely not, they sound like one of the worst people out there... if this is legit that is lmao. I have no idea if it's just an amazing and very edgy creative writing experiment where they wanted to convince everyone it is real lol.

I think he's more embarrassed for what the way sex is depicted in the story says about the author.

Hold on, I'm confused. I thought that if Sonic and Amy were to have sex, she'd die from Sonic's ball disease. Did the disease get cured when he was resurrected ?
Swonker
2025-10-26 01:58:00 +0000 UTC
Love that the author still writes similarly to how they do in the story. It makes sense, but it's still kinda strange, because I've never heard anyone write like they do.

After they read sequels, please arrange for Arin and Dan to be able to talk directly to the author theirselves this time.

The fact that my brain went "which one?", because I know of at least three HP fics with cult ties, says a lot.

If the author of Sonic High is reading these comments, I just want to say thank you for writing this literary masterpiece. I have never gasped or laughed as hard as much as I did listening to the story. It was an unpredictable wild ride that I thoroughly enjoyed.

the line abt charmy not being able to control his gay urges "like everyone else" was such perfect foreshadowing for the author's sexuality
Mel Theory

Well. Still more wholesome than the HP fic that spawned at least one cult.
Rose Marie Robertson Pink
2025-10-25 00:04:32 +0000 UTC
That interview was way more fascinating than I could have possibly imagined, honestly. I don’t know that I’ll ever get over the Anne Frank Hedgehog part though. Did everyone else in the comments know of the AF Hedgehog existence before this? Those were the most calm reactions that Dan and Arin had to one of the most insane sentences I’ve ever heard.

PRO TIP for those who want to reread Sonic High School: When I first read this story and got to the song part, I instinctually sung it to “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and… it actually flows pretty well lol
Maxwell Lyman

What a perfect interview, because I still can't tell if it's a character or not, so the illusion/mystery are still intact.

I'm honestly truly impressed by the authors ability to self reflect and be authentic and genuine about something like this. Writing about something you have little knowledge about to try to be apart of the "cool" crowd as an outsider, very relatable. Kudos to you my friend! We're all just weird kids in the end, and that's ok because as Dan says, we've found our tribe 💙

Nathen
2025-10-24 20:16:13 +0000 UTC
Honestly his interview makes this story kinda relatable, being a kid and not knowing anything but just having this need to feel cool among peers, especially how a lot of the defensiveness about gay things being internalized homophobia makes total sense. Great to hear this guy is doing well.
