OH while i'm egghogs cringeposting, moar

the boys are physically strong and VERY well-trained and have fancy powers but. when eggman holds one of them down with a foot on the back they don't move and they don't fight. eggman bashes their heads against the dash of the eggmobile and they don't fight. he can beat them and they won't fight.

it's learned helplessness. hitting back just results in much more severe and novel abuse in response and the effort just isn't worth it. from the outside in, it's bizarre to see shadow the hedgehog restrained with one hand. but things are more complicated than they seem.

even after running away, eggman can just. pick them up by the quills or something and they won't do anything out of fear. shadow flips eggman off of him one (1) time and has to go somewhere private to have a panic attack
