"tails said to the ears of the world" *pen bursting into flames gif*

Halcyon

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.

Shani Wilkinson

Only just realised this was posted on my birthday. Greatest gift from the whole day 😂

Rhodioclown

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.

AutismRizz

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.

Tessa Nystrom

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

Veronica Adams

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.

Veronica Adams

I can’t believe we’re all in the presence of a celebrity, hats off to you DDFM!

Veronica Adams

I can’t believe THAT’S why it’s called Sonic High School 🏫

ruffbun

"It is more adult to be nice and think about other people's feelings." damn

stevf

Hayri

Alright, which one of you is DDFM?

Hayri

Are you kidding? Dan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets

Rain Maker Wind Waker

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

Kura Kurington IV

I'm so sad that we're done with Sonic High School. This was such a joy to listen to. Thanks DDFM for publishing this art.

daztora

I absolutley love that the author speaks like the fanfiction in everyday life

ThumperDaeTime

i hope they read a ghost hunters adventure fic next.

Rory Montgomery

Wait so DDFF is a developer? Can we get him on board for the next game you guys produce? That would be so fucking rad

No_Claws

Amy growing an inch from Sonic's cum killed me. Also, I'm adding "Semenphere" to my vocabulary!

WaveJam

The author talks like how he wrote Sonic High School. It’s amazing!

Rachel Fischer

Pooped up Squack is my new band name

Tom White

If DarkDoomFireMaster wants to write for video games then please help him achieve this

Crescent Minor

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.

FuzzyOtterPaws

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...

FuzzyOtterPaws

Oh is it only DMs? I thought it was in person

munkoo_xx

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

Rocky

So true. I feel my community is now has a true idol we can now worship

Rocky

Y'know what? I now truly believe Sonic has the biggest penis ever

Swonker

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.

Carto

HE WAS GAY ALL ALONG!! what an icon

SUPERSHASHA

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 🤔

Kami.Kang

Defo a literal hedgehog 🦔

danner253

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.

That One Guy

"Yes, the ledger has since grown plump with seasons..." ... The carbuncle ate itself. *Insert mass cheering*

Dustin Koski

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

Jarod Martin

Yes when he was wished back part of the wish was he was healthy

Swonker

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 ?

J. Rabbit

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.

Doktor Vem

I'm like half-interested to get the author of this fanfic on guest grumps just so I can hear what they sound like

Wolf

Its all good theres MORE sonic fan fic same author i believe

Jamie Bird

so happy to see how much you all genuinely respect the fic author, very awesome 👍👍

Luke Gordon

I’m so sad it’s over… could we get a comp of all chapters?

nebuloider

Hey Dan "Rockened Roll" is a great title for like a lullaby cover album, just saying.

nebuloider

This stuff just wears you down, "yep funny, funny, sure, funny" and then I'm only 7 minutes in just cry laughing for the duration.

Edward Maldonado

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

Quintin Lapolito

It's like finding out the Democracy Manifest guy just talks like that and it wasn't a facade. Incredible.

A. F.

"Tails cheered and danced a little."

BabyEatingFoxes

It's funny how "Danny Sexbang" of Ninja Sex Party acts like a 12 yo that's embarrassed to hear about sex.

Bee

Do you guys think that Sonic's Mom was a hedgehog as well or just a person?

Marie Novotná

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

Marie Novotná

Wow. What a jourey. My life has been forever changed by Sonic High School.

Ronnicat Mew

This fic ruined me. I don't remember the last time I cried laughing. DDFM, you are an absolute legend

Walking Zero

I am so glad DDFM still has the same incredibly interesting manner of speech

Zak Abboud

What a wonderful day to be alive

Unasinous

Godspeed DarkDoomFireMaster, you wonderful gem of a human being.

Mike Z

Ike's a good interviewer.

Megan Maginnis

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.

mom_pleaser69

QUIET!! MEEMAW’S SOAP IS ON

Mel Theory

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

Rose Marie Robertson Pink

Well. Still more wholesome than the HP fic that spawned at least one cult.

Rose Marie Robertson Pink

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.

K3k3000

My subscription ended before this episode released and I renewed it specifically to see the ending.

Julia Soler

So we're getting the sonic spin off right? Right!?

Rose Marie Robertson Pink

To be fair, that was a marker of a huge amount of slash for a LONG time.

Coolpak

Dan’s face when he says “Anne Frank the hedgehog” omg

Meggie Doodles

Bro it's so worth it, trust me

Sticky

I know that FFST is for fanfiction story time, but I read it as "For Fucks Sake Tom" and like I don't know who Tom is but he apparently needs to get his shit together

Mel Theory

it's finally over

Alec Burton

I love the way this person uses words, it's absolutely wild

Isaac Lewis

I almost don't want to watch the interview because I want to keep the mystery of whether the writing is legit or not... But man, either way, this is an emotional finale. 😭😭

ITS_BABA_YAGA_BEYOTCH

“But charmy could not control his gay urges like everyone else” can’t wait to hear tails’ song on under the covers volume five

Rennon the Shaved

The author is a wordsmith of unparalleled qualities.

danshifackao

I hope the author knows that the term "dodecahedronal gay" changed my life forever

Maxwell Lyman

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

Allen ML

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

Geoff Zilla

We need dan and ninja bryan to get on this song!! What a banger

Gem

Bro the interview was so illuminating, and actually very heartwarming. I agree, I think I also love DDFM

Sarahmonster

That was some finale! The interview was so heartwarming! Also.... YEAH! SEX!

Lady Thea

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

This is truly the good ending.

Michael K

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.
