one more bsc hot take for the evening:

i like shadow and infinite together because they fucking vibe man, like. imagine if shadow had not been infinite's 13th reason, here are their common grounds:

- lost their (found) family members because they failed to save them

- felt empty, bored, purposeless

- like to be alone, keep to themselves

- morally grey: sometimes they're good, but the means by which they do good acts will never be acceptable (mercenary, ULF who uses brunt force to finish the job quickly)

- tried to take over the world

- got manipulated and weaponized by eggman and discarded when they weren't of use

- feel like failures, compensate with power

- suck at emotional vulnerability

- weapons of mass destruction

sounds good so far, right? here are some differences:

- shadow didn't have a choice as an experiment, infinite was manipulated into doing it but still somewhat consented but he started out ordinary and made himself after failure.

- shadow had the cast reach out: amy spoke to him, sonic engaged with him in a friendly-rivalry matter, rouge kept tabs on him the whole time. everyone in forces pointed out that infinite was alone and friendless but did nothing about it besides making jokes or saying "oh that's sad lol anyways"

- infinite likes to be independent based on status (which is why he works for eggman and submits to being ordered around: he's independent because he's special and powerful, not by being alone). shadow likes to be independent because he was created to obey and has a tendency to be manipulated (by older male figures especially, probably because he was made by black doom and gerald) so doing whatever he wants is super liberating

- infinite wants praise and affirmations for what he does, shadow just wants to not fuck up or start shit because it seems like every formative moment in his life killed people

and many other things i could touch on. my reasoning for them being pals?

- infinite doesn't give a shit what he does as long as he's doing it well and being praised, so working with shadow would be entertaining (morally ambiguous and sporadic)

- shadow wouldn't have someone trying to control him: infinite might bitch and complain, but has reached the point where he knows shadow can't be outmatched so there's no sense in fighting him. infinite would work with him and not make it a sappy "power of teamwork and friendship!!!" adventure because infinite doesn't want that either

- infinite has nothing to lose besides his pride, shadow has nothing to lose besides his freedom from organized groups trying to use him (GUN, eggman empire, the resistance, black arms, team dark at times, etc...). they can do whatever the fuck they want together and not be expected to open up at one another's mercy or some shit

- no moral lectures. they've both killed people and are fine with violence and selfishness, so there's no judgement or reformation: net 0 moral growth

TLDR: i ship them because unlike most of the sonic cast, infinite doesn't challenge or hinder shadow's lifestyle: doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants, with no mandated affection or positivity.

do i like making them angsty? yes, because their similarities draw them together but their differences are so fundamental that it creates rifts, fights, and wavering forgiveness between the two which is much more dynamic and passionate than people give it credit for. all those hot but traumatizing villain vs hero prompts you reblog as inspo? the dramatic "hero made the villain" arcs y'all eat up? it's RIGHT. THERE. IN CANON. TAKE IT. YOU HAVE TWO CANON ANGSTY CHARACTERS, WITH ONE'S LORE BEING DEPENDENT ON THE OTHER'S, BAIT BAIT BAIT.

do i also like making infinite a bitchy, trophy wife, sugar baby, gold digger, persistent nuisance that shadow essentially pays to keep out of trouble? yes, because one of infinite's only personality traits is wanting money and attention so it's easy (and hilarious) to pimp him out a bit. this ship can be silly!

above all else, do i like making them friends, soulmates even? which aren't inherently romantic btw, i mean "you understand me without me having to explain myself, thank you for being the same way" type of shit. YES. MORE OF THIS.

Got thadius a ref sheet my baby <3

Thadius is a Shadfinite fan kiddo and the second bio experiment Theo preformed . He sticks close to his older brother Orion and can get very skittish around strangers . His powers are more heavy in black arms than Rubys abilities. Anytime he goes over his limits he gets very eepy and can sleep for days if not given energy.
