I miss Fists the Echidna. She was this girl who shipped herself with Shadow, and had an aqua female Knuckles as her sona. Her ED page was the first one I've ever read, and I remember when she was still active. She was infamous for her screaming rant videos towards Sonic12309, (Who was a YouTube user who shipped Shadow x Amy and claimed to be Sonic's Biggest Fan) and for her support for recolours. Her rants were remixed and turned into YouTube Poops, and some of the highlights were:
- her phone ringing in the first rant
- her mentioning Curtis (I'll talk about "him" later) rolling on the floor, trying not to laugh
- her repeating "You just wanna see how many friends you can get!" And "Japan!"
- her rambling about how Shadow isn't paired with anyone
- "FUCKING BASTARD!!"
Eventually, she took the rants down. The videos themselves are long gone, but the remixes are still up.
As for her and recolours, she had several videos of her recolouring screenshots from Sonic X, other people's fanart, and official SEGA art. She compared hating recolours to hating America, and she was friends with Bludshot the Hedgehog, a very infamous recolorist. But what also lead her to getting a lot of hate was her saying, in a sock puppet account, that Shadamy (Shadow x Amy) pictures are only good for recolouring. This sock puppet account had the Curtis character she made up, which I think this is a good transition to her made-up friends. She has several of them, and she didn't do a good job hiding her identity. Here are a list of them:
- Curtis The account where she made the comment on Shadamy. Here is a video where you can clearly tell that it's Fists.
- Amelia I read from ED that she also shared this account with her sister, but one comment I read said that Amelia isn't real. Another thing to note is that Fists even took pictures of an Asian girl and tried passing it off as her.
- Ty the Bat His voice sounded like it was pitched down, his art style looked like Fists', and he had a video with that one anime that Fists is a fan of. Also, he was Small the Cat's boyfriend...just be lucky that this wasn't true at all, because if it was, then it would be wrong on so many levels.
- MonokiTheWolverine Mostly poorly drawn anime art with terrible anatomy.
- Small the Cat It's obvious this isn't a real child; her voice sounds like someone trying to impersonate a kid, she kept changing her age, and she was actually banned from DeviantArt.
I found her making up these people more interesting than the Sonic12309 drama, to be honest. It's kind of depressing though; how lonely was this girl? She used the "You have no friends" argument to defend herself, but she made up these people. She made DeviantArt accounts, YouTube pages, GaiaOnline accounts and MySpace profiles for them and acted as if they were real people.
Fists actually did make amends with Sonic12309 and has improved on her art, which is a good step for her. One thing that I noticed was that she started saying that she hated Sonic and hates Shadow, sadly I can't show you it since her videos are gone.
She disappeared from the Internet; she deleted all of her YouTube videos and abandoned her account, she hasn't posted on her DeviantArt in like four years, and the link to her Facebook doesn't work. She has wrote a
journal entry talking about her personal life, and how she misses her old friends. The description on her
channel now says that it's just a channel for her three year old to use.
From the looks of it, Fists basically got tired of the Internet, probably wanted to get away from the infamy, and focus on her real life.
Most of this information is from memory, a lot of the videos and images are lost, and I either can't find some of these accounts or I don't remember the exact name.
