its really funny how i just have The Character Type and shadow is that character type more than ever

shadow, not wanting maria to die: I'LL CHAOS CONTROL. I'LL FREEZE THIS MOMENT IN TIME AND--
me: wow, okay, mithos,

like he didn't, but the fact he wanted to....

shadow gens is sooo good

maria and shadow saying goodbye.... augh

shadow getting to cry finally...

it was so good at showing him finally accepting his grief and saying goodbye... even though he'd already "moved on" he never truly accepted what happened... crazy that i am saying this about a sonic game but IT'S TRUE

YEA HGOOD!!!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S WHAT WE DESERVE OUT OF OUR SONIC GAMES FOR REAL RFOR REAL!!!

i see people saying "oh he already moved on in shadow though" no he didn't he was just trying to grasp who he even was as a person in that game which included reclaiming his past!!!!!!!!!

WE DO ... FRONTIERS + THIS MAKE ME SOOO HOPEFUL FOR THE NEXT GAME

YEAH!!!

me when the character writing is character writinging

was trying to find a funy image to respond and hang on what is this gif i'm obsessed

SDFJH that's his idle animation from sonic heroes!!

OH OKAY

gotta keep them quills lookin good.........

i only played sonic heroes when i was a small child and i only cared about tails at the time

"why do you know that off the top of your head" disease

so i would pick hero and then refuse to be sonic or knuckles

no no. no no. if you snet me a similar gif but from a mario / paper mario game. i would do the same

disease 🤝

🤝 yeah

anyway me when the shadow game is good or whatever

SHADOW GENS IS A MASTERCLASS IN GRIEF!!!

everything about shadow and maria [clenching fist and sobbing]

IT'S SO GOOD

THE BOY

HIS FRIENDSHIPS

AAAAAAA

the grieving process

can we talk about the prof tho

maria is front and centre for so much (AS SHE SHOULD BE), but also the (grand)parent and (grand)son...

this family

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

literally saved a clip of prof saying "shadow you're my finest creation" just because it made me cry hearing it

ALSO. the team dark familiarty and caring about each other........ god...........

rouge stepping in like shadow. i get that maria is here. and we both know that won't be forever. so if you need me afterwards. i'm here, okay? and i cry

(wish there was an easier way to get screenshots of my switch without having to plug it into my computer, but anyway)

THE BONDS

it is carved in my brain that rouge felt embarrassed about putting that caring into words but she did it and that says so much about the bonds he's forging in the present and then omega words and--

gerald telling shadow he's proud of him and calling him his son

meanwhile, omega: shadow you should be able to turn your arm into a gun so you should do that

omega is fucking precious, the baby of the group getting excited about the Potential

(he's not really a baby but he feels like the excitable younger member so often)

hes BABY!!!

he really is!!
