      Blogers! People who often sit on the Internet. Sometimes I hear about such people and hate them. After all, they are real bores, lazy and all they want to do is get their lazy asses off the chair, help someone in real life and go to work, like all normal people, stupidly sit on the Internet and earn money there on different sites, stupidly loafing and overeating. That's how I always thought about blogers and considered them as such. Even now I think about them like that.

***

      But one day, circumstances developed in such a way that... I myself somehow became one of them. It was like this. As usual, I was going to visit Tails. At that time, he connected the computer image to the TV and thus began to watch funny videos on YouTube. As soon as I arrived, he immediately saw me and greeted me: — Hello, Sonic. — Hello, Tails. I see you watch YouTube through your TV? — Yes. There are some funny videos about us there now. About you, about me and about all our friends. It's funny! Really? - he asks me, but I don't share his opinion and said: — What's funny about some stupid videos on the Internet? They are essentially made by blogers, harmful, lazy and stupid people. They just want to sit in one place instead of even going for a walk, eating, getting fat and doing nothing. He looked at me questioningly. — Where did you get that from? — Blogers, in my opinion, are the most real slackers. They are completely abnormal. All they do is sit on the Internet all day, do nothing but stupid videos and don't even work. — I explained to him. — Nothing of the sort, Sonic. — he assured me otherwise. — I'm a bloger too, but I work and walk around, just like you. — Prove it! — I asked him incredulously. — Okay. Look! — he takes the computer mouse and shows me his own YouTube channel. — Here's my channel! It has exactly one hundred and twenty videos and four thousand subscribers. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. That my best friend, who works every day and even walks outside in the fresh air, was a bloger?... No, I don't believe it. But after that, Tails was seriously determined to make me change my mind about blogers. He decided to create my own channel for me on the same site. In principle, I was not against it and was even grateful to him. Then, when I tried this YouTube myself, I was in great shock. There were a lot of different videos on different topics with my participation. Yes, I decided to watch videos about myself first, if there were any. As it turned out, there really is a video about me. Some videos were just interesting, others were cool, others were funny, and others were so-so. Especially those where for some reason they made me out to be gay along with Shadow and made us lovers. But fortunately, in reality, it's all a lie! Yes. But there were also very romantic videos from some of my fans, where they imagined what a good husband or father I would be. Some made me a couple with an old friend Amy Rose, others did it with Blaze, others did the same with some Sally Acorn, about whom I don't know anything at all, because I've never met her before. And someone even shipped me with a human princess Alice. And all because she kissed me in that disgusting and glitchy 2006 game about me to revive me. Although I think that's some kind of nonsense. But there was also one video from a fan from Russia. She came up with her own character that never existed in reality and called her Varanda. She was a brown hedgehog. I must admit, she really is a beautiful character and better than the clingy Amy. I even regret that such a character does not exist in reality.

      Closer to the night, Tails came to my house with a video camera and offered me to shoot my first video for my channel, which he himself made for me. He started filming me without warning. At first, I didn’t know what to do and what to say? I stood silently for two minutes, thinking about what to say, and only then I just smiled stupidly and said: — Hello! After that, the fox showed me how to upload this video to the Internet and asked me to wait until tomorrow. At the same time, he asked me not to worry if suddenly I get few views and thumbs up. For example, at least one or two. After all, in order to collect more of them, you need more subscribers and time to collect them. I resigned myself and went to sleep on my hammock.

***

      The next day, when I woke up and decided to watch my slightly stupid video out of interest, my eyes bulged and my jaw also almost dropped. My video of me got two and a half billion views and one billion thumbs up overnight. The number of subscribers increased by the same amount. One billion. Even Tails was shocked when he found out about it. We both didn't understand how it all happened so quickly. However, after seeing many different comments, we understood. Those who watched my video recognized me and realized that I am a real original. In some comments where I was loved and praised, one fan even jokingly asked me to marry her. Those who wrote me nasty and bad things were most likely villains or my sworn enemies. But in any case, I liked it and decided to make my second video myself. In the second video, I showed my beautiful forest where I lived, my house, my computer with an account, the hammock where I sleep, my friends, etc.

***

      On the second day, the second video got the same results in terms of views and thumbs up. Only the comments were different. Most often, fans asked me a lot of questions. Then I decided that I needed to make a third video where I would answer all these questions. And since there were a lot of questions, I decided to take too long to do this. I set up the camera and started filming. I filmed until the very night and suddenly the camera ran out of memory after six hours. It couldn't film further, and I only filmed and managed to answer only 4% of the questions on a 100% scale. I was terribly upset and didn't know how I could manage to answer all these questions. Luckily, Tails told me that it was not necessary to film the answers on video. You can just write your own comments under the comments of subscribers in response. And I started doing this.

***

      I started noticing all the comments under the second video and started replying to each one. Those that were clearly written by villains and sworn enemies, I deleted and blocked their users. And time went by while I sat all day and replied, because there were a lot more good comments and questions than bad ones. A day passed, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five... Well, in short, a lot of days passed. And during this time, those to whom I had already replied either thanked me or asked me more questions, which I also answered. But every time I answered, more and more new questions appeared in the comments.

***

      It's already been three months. I didn't even notice how my eyes became red and irritated. Especially from insomnia. But I finally answered the last question and went to sleep in the hammock. And the next morning, when I finally got enough sleep, without receiving a single new question, I just got up and suddenly... My back cracked, and I myself became wooden and barely moved, like an oak. I even cried out in pain. At that time, Shadow ran past. — Sonic, what's wrong? Where are the villains? — he asks me. — There are no villains, Shadow... I... I... — What's wrong with you? — he noticed that I was barely moving and holding my hands up. — I... I don't know myself... It's like... Oak... — Oak? — he bulged his eyes and laughed at me. — Shadow, it actually hurts! I can barely move, and you're laughing like an idiot! — When I said that, he stopped laughing. — Okay, okay. Don't get excited! You probably need a massage! — Shadow replied, laid me down on my stomach on my hammock and started massaging my back. — Careful, Shadow! We don't have time! I need to make a new video for my channel on the Internet, where Tails registered me. My subscribers miss me. — We'll have to reschedule, Sonic. Your subscribers will wait! They're not going anywhere. — he answered me and finished massaging me. — Now let's do some warm-ups! — He helped me get up, helped me put my left leg forward and helped me bend over, stretching my arms forward. — Come on! Slowly! Pull yourself up! I was still in pain. It felt like I was weighing weight and there was heaviness in my legs. But I tried to stretch with my arms outstretched, holding one leg outstretched, lying on the table, trying to stretch. It was very difficult and excruciatingly painful. I felt like I was all wooden and they were trying to bend me, but instead they were tearing me. Coincidentally and fortunately, Tails came running at that very moment. — What happened? — he asks, and Shadow answers while I try to develop: — It seems that Sonic has been sitting on the Internet for too long, not moving, not going for a walk, and not running at all. He just sat in one place at home, lazing around and answering his subscribers' comments on YouTube. — What? — my friend was indignant at me. — Sonic, why did you sit at home on the Internet all day? Why didn't you go out and run every day? You are the fastest and most agile hedgehog! — But Tails! What about my subscribers' questions? I couldn't help but answer them. If I hadn't answered them all in time, they would have thought that I didn't want to talk to them, they would get offended and unsubscribe. — I explained to him. — Well, where did you get that from? — he asks me indignantly. — Sonic, you are the most original and real hedgehog Sonic, known all over the world, who has saved the whole world and people more than once. Even your subscribers love you the way you are. Even if you take too long with new videos or answers in comments, there is nothing wrong with that! They will all understand perfectly well that you are too busy and cannot devote too much time to the Internet, because you need to run somewhere, save the world and do not need to be distracted by anything. Your subscribers will calmly wait for your answers, even for a year or a hundred years, because they are all your fans and still love you. You do not need to devote too much time to the Internet and sit in it forever. After all, you need to think about your health and physical condition at least once. — Tails is right. — Shadow agreed with him. — You don't need to sit on the Internet all day! What you need to do first and foremost is exercise, think about your health, help others, run and do all sorts of different things in real life. — And if you sit at home in front of the computer all day, then sooner or later you will forget how to run, become lazy, move little and become weak, as you have now become. — While Tails was explaining this to me, Shadow took my hands and helped me do exercises so that I could warm up. It was still painful, but I endured and listened carefully. — Remember, Sonic! Don't sit on the Internet for too long. Of course, you can sit for one or two hours a day, but no more. And if you have a phone with an Internet connection, then don't sit on the phone for too long, especially when someone is talking to you in person or something serious is happening. If someone wrote something to you a long time ago, you can write something back, but after that, don't expect an answer from them right away, just take a break from the Internet and look around! — Okay. I get it. I won't do it again. From now on I will be very patient. But will I really stay like this forever? — I got worried. — Why? — asks Shadow, trying to console me. — If you don't be lazy and at least try to do exercises every day and move more, you will become light and agile again, like before. The main thing is not to be lazy and be patient no matter what!

***

      And I started a new job. Every day Shadow came to my house and helped me do exercises, warm-ups, exercises and run around my house up to a hundred laps. At first it was very hard for me, I couldn't even outrun Shadow in running. However, after two weeks, as he promised me, I felt better and started running as fast as before. And of course, I kept my promise to Shadow. Now I began to sit less on the Internet and only occasionally write to my fans, if I have free time and if a new question comes up. Now I'm starting to realize what the real life of every bloger and other people who sit on the Internet is like. I don't even understand how they live like this, considering that some of them don't listen to anyone at all, staring at the screen and just saying the same thing over and over again, like: "Right now!" or "Yeah!" Sometimes it's even annoying, because you're saying something very important, and this moron doesn't listen to you at all. And yet, in part, I'm glad that Tails opened all this up for me and got me involved. This story, to me, is more like "I'm Sonic, but I don't stop becoming a bloger." — Sonic? Are you okay? — I turned around at the voice. At first, it seemed to me that it was Varanda, invented by one of my fans. But my hallucinations from thinking quickly evaporated and it was Amy. While I'm telling all this, I'm sitting with her in the park and repenting on a swing, as it turns out. — Oh! Yes, Amy. Everything is fine. I just can't forget that day. — You need to get distracted properly! - she answers me and takes out her pink smartphone, through which she looks at np fan art with me on DeviantArt. And there were a lot of them. There were even those where I was together with Shadow and... Ahem ahem... Although Amy herself, considering how fanatically she loves me, for some reason looks at this calmly. Although maybe she understands perfectly well that all this is not true, but just a drawing of a stupid fan. — Maybe we should go and I'll walk you home, my friend? — I told her, although I was sure that she did not hear me and would answer like those who are often stuck in a phone or computer screen. — Let's go, of course, Sonic. I'll just sit for another twenty minutes and see what else they're drawing with you. — I honestly didn't expect such an answer from her. By this point, she even saw the art where I was with Blaze, and in some of it we were even kissing. And Amy was smiling while looking at this, and her cheeks were red. — Cute! But you and Blaze really do look a little similar. It's a shame that you're asexual, Sonic. I immediately thought about her words and answered her right away. — I know. But maybe love and romance really aren't for me? — Amy put her smartphone away from my question. — Nonsense, Sonic. All people and Mobians change. I'm sure that someday you will change too. — she told me, stood up, took my hand and we walked home from the park.

      I hope you kids, like me, have learned a lesson. Don't be stupid blogers who are too dependent on the Internet, smartphones, tablets and computers! Be attentive and go outside more often!
