It had been a little while since the last time I made art of these two… I figured the occasion justified a small sequence. 🤭

One element I actually quite liked about Mario and Peach’s first meeting in the film was the unusual context surrounding it. This whole misunderstanding involving the royal toad brigade, with Mario being initially mistaken for a dangerous trespasser and chased around inside the Castle… I thought it was a great setup to introduce the two, as it helped build tension and cleverly established how first impressions can indeed be misleading. x3

Granted, there are many things about their movie dynamic that I personally would have done very differently, but I’m glad for the unprecedented visibility this franchise has gotten lately and you can be sure there will be a lot more from me still. 😎✨

Sega can you pretty please stop making official material where you make Shadow hate friendship? He didn't always hate it—that was a 2010s development when you didn't know what to do with him

#*sigh* it makes me sad every time #shadow the hedgehog

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.

sonic the hedgehog is a series that is fundamentally about love and freedom. about not being held down by what others think of you. of learning to love and accept and be proud of who you are; to be unashamedly yourself in a world that's always against you. never give up, no matter how many times you're knocked down. let go of past grievances, of past hatred - open your heart to those who are different from you, accept them. don't spend your time worrying - take every moment as it comes. dont dwell on past mistakes - live life in the present. love yourself. love your friends, cherish your family that you have, be that blood-related or otherwise. love and take care of the natural world around you. no matter the force that tries to oppress you, you dont fall in line. you dont take it lying down. you have the freedom to make your own choices, to pursue the things that make you happy, no matter what others might think, or tell you. you shine through, and you keep love in your heart, and spread it wherever you go, because you can make a difference, you can be a light in someones life, no matter how small.

be positive. be you. believe in yourself.

that is sonic the hedgehog to me.

Sonic and Shadow are truly perfect juxtapositions of each other. Thinking about them in the game verse specifically:

Sonic is casual; Shadow is formal.

Sonic is simple; Shadow is complicated.

Sonic reacts; Shadow plans.

Sonic acts on instinct; Shadow thinks through his every move.

Sonic has always known who he is; Shadow has had to fight to know who he is

Sonic trusts himself; Shadow doesn’t.

Sonic doesn’t care about his past; Shadow is constantly fighting to not be consumed by his past.

Sonic doesn’t worry about whether or not he’s ‘good’; Shadow constantly doubts his own motivations and is very concerned about if he is good.

But Sonic and Shadow are also extremely similar in specific key ways:

They’re both introverts.

They both hate injustice.

They’re both compassionate.

They both have good intentions.

They’re both competitive

They’re both incredibly loyal to people they care about.

It’s through these similarities that they can bond and have a healthy respect for each other, and even be friends. And even with their differences, I think they admire each other. Shadow admires Sonic’s unwavering confidence and certainty, and Sonic admires Shadow’s strength in the face of everything he’s gone through.

Their dynamic just fascinates me.

EDIT: Do not tag as ship. Thank you.

the older I get, the more the technological changes I've lived through as a millennial feel bizarre to me. we had computers in my primary school classroom; I first learned to type on a typewriter. I had a cellphone as a teenager, but still needed a physical train timetable. my parents listened to LP records when I was growing up; meanwhile, my childhood cassette tape collection became a CD collection, until I started downloading mp3s on kazaa over our 56k modem internet connection to play in winamp on my desktop computer, and now my laptop doesn't even have a disc tray. I used to save my word documents on floppy discs. I grew up using the rotary phone at my grandparents' house and our wall-connected landline; my mother's first cellphone was so big, we called it The Brick. I once took my desktop computer - monitor, tower and all - on the train to attend a LAN party at a friend's house where we had to connect to the internet with physical cables to play together, and where one friend's massive CRT monitor wouldn't fit on any available table. as kids, we used to make concertina caterpillars in class with the punctured and perforated paper strips that were left over whenever anything was printed on the room's dot matrix printer, which was outdated by the time I was in high school. VHS tapes became DVDs, and you could still rent both at the local video store when I was first married, but those shops all died out within the next six years. my facebook account predates the iphone camera - I used to carry around a separate digital camera and manually upload photos to the computer in order to post them; there are rolls of undeveloped film from my childhood still in envelopes from the chemist's in my childhood photo albums. I have a photo album from my wedding, but no physical albums of my child; by then, we were all posting online, and now that's a decade's worth of pictures I'd have to sort through manually in order to create one. there are video games I tell my son about but can't ever show him because the consoles they used to run on are all obsolete and the games were never remastered for the new ones that don't have the requisite backwards compatibility. I used to have a walkman for car trips as a kid; then I had a discman and a plastic hardshell case of CDs to carry around as a teenager; later, a friend gave my husband and I engraved matching ipods as a wedding present, and we used them both until they stopped working; now they're obsolete. today I texted my mother, who was born in 1950, a tiktok upload of an instructional video for girls from 1956 on how to look after their hair and nails and fold their clothes. my father was born four years after the invention of colour televison; he worked in radio and print journalism, and in the years before his health declined, even though he logically understood that newspapers existed online, he would clip out articles from the physical paper, put them in an envelope and mail them to me overseas if he wanted me to read them. and now I hold the world in a glass-faced rectangle, and I have access to everything and ownership of nothing, and everything I write online can potentially be wiped out at the drop of a hat by the ego of an idiot manchild billionaire. as a child, I wore a watch, but like most of my generation, I stopped when cellphones started telling us the time and they became redundant. now, my son wears a smartwatch so we can call him home from playing in the neighbourhood park, and there's a tanline on his wrist ike the one I haven't had since the age of fifteen. and I wonder: what will 2030 look like?
