kaveh's voicelines aren't even subtle about his loneliness

kaveh's voiceline: "haha if you're not me and you dont share my trade, i wouldnt expect you to understand. mmm… it'd be nice to meet someone who did understand, though"

kaveh's sketchbook entry about mehrak: "more than anything, i hope it really can understand what I'm saying"

and then one of his hangout routes is about how even if you can't be understood, companionship is just as valuable

…the takeaway being kaveh might never be understood by the masses despite how he longs to belong to the crowd (chara story 5), but maybe he can have a companion

more fun lines:

"You're not… making fun of me, are you? I've gotten so used to sarcasm that I can't tell what's genuinely a compliment anymore."

:') kaveh...

(also this is why sarcasm sucks for actual communication! this is a PSA from your local ND who doesn't always parse sarcasm well)

"it's best that we go and join him for dinner. sigh That means I'll owe him yet another meal now…"

🥲 he'll get there one day.

the way that he immediately pivots to reassuring traveller in his voiceline about his troubles like "whoops didnt mean to bring the mood down, srsly dont worry about it!!"

^ that is a man who keeps accidentally trauma dumping in public and feels incredibly bad about it

his voiceline about "You might unlock something that can't be put away again" sounds like kaveh's talking about his & alhaitham's fight after all, who else does he truly know as a person?

and then "even if all my hopes and dreams are built on pain and suffering" 🥲🥲

kaveh's so unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the concept of someone being worried about his wellbeing (tbf alhaitham does not phrase himself nicely)

the way that i went from "hehe kaveh cant find a way to politely reject a gift" to "o right kaveh thinks that no one will ever understand him and that he's such a burden on others that it's prob for the best to never be understood anyways"....

its not even subtext he actually says it

sometimes i think about how lonely and alienated kaveh must have felt, probably ever since his father's death...

and how resigned he is to being unknowable, yet unable to see that he also pushes away others (him holding scores and assuming that compliments must be jokes, etc)

It's never specified anywhere why Rouge works for G.U.N., but I feel like it would've had to be like, oh, there was an incident where her jewel-thieving pissed them off enough to capture her, and someone realized that she had the skills and capabilities of a Sonic the Hedgehog protagonist and they'd Go To Waste If She Was Behind Bars, and they convinced Commander Tower that it was better to have her inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in. Maybe with the kind of Bad Stuff G.U.N. gets up to, they might have even done a whole Suicide Squad thing -- Rouge's leash is loose enough that she can continue stealing just enough jewels for plausible deniability, and if any of her black ops missions go south and people find out, then oh it's the work of that dastardly jewel-thief Rouge the Bat, we'd better extract I mean recapture her posthaste!

And Rouge doesn't actually complain about this arrangement or cause problems (outside of the occasional situation like in Dark Beginnings where she was like "hey Shadow, you could steal a space ship from G.U.N." and then "sorry, boss, I couldn't talk Shadow down from stealing the space ship"), because this doesn't make her less able to steal jewels, and because she can get them to pay her in gems from time to time.

Sonic Frontiers is good...

[galdrgobrrr]

Can't wait for the updates to come out so that I can replay Sonic Frontiers entirely

[galdrgobrrr]

This update was so fun if we ignore The Horrors™ (the towers and last trial)

When your big brother breaks the sound barrier on a regular basis, you probably get used to it at some point

[galdrgobrrr]

It's hilarious to me to imagine Sonic could not keep a regular phone for longer than a week without breaking it

[galdrgobrrr]
