I was already thinking about Shadow so much today before the animation news, because I watched a Sonic Battle playthru

And just

Do you ever think about Shadow in Sonic Battle? How he says several times that he won't let tragedy repeat. Meaning, his kind of tragedy. The kind where he knows hes made to be a weapon, but doesn't know where from or why, or what his purpose is. And how he does go through with helping Emerl avoid that type of tragedy. He helps him uncover why he was made, so he can know where he came from and then choose his own purpose.

And then tragedy befalls Emerl anyway. The kind where his original destructive purpose is forced on him, and then he dies. And literally his last words are 'Shadow...should I be glad I was born...?'

Because I do, I think about this sometime and im not ok

#Sege rants #Sonic stuffs #Battle is fucked up for coming out a few days before Heroes and having a different type of characterization for Shadow #Which doesnt make sense if you place it post Heroes either #To me it makes the most sense post Shadow 05 #And that placement makes me feral too because then Shadow has JUST come out of #Nearly having an original purpose he didnt even know about forced on him #No wonder his first instinct is to destroy Emerl bc he thinks of him as just a weapon and not a person #Before Sonic goes and reminds him. Hey. You were in a similar boat not too long ago and you saved the world #Also Emerl is a person. Give him a chance #And Shadow does and Emerl is someone he helps and relates to #And then this gizoid he started out thinking of as just a weapon fucking dies asking him if he should be glad he was born #Because he related to him too. He knew Shadow was made as a weapon too but is now living his own life #So logically to Emerl. Shadow would know the answer to that. And Shadow almost died once. Was he glad he was born as he fell to Earth?#Im unwell im feral about this ok #People have drawn headcanons of Sonics reaction to Gemerl #This Thing taking the form of Emerl. Almost like a zombie of him that will also never Be Emerl #Because Eggman is evil and fucked up #But not enough people think about what Shadow would think of this at least not that ive seen #And i think itd be one of those things where the emotions breach his stoic surface and you see a visible reaction #Before the anger takes over #And im just. RAAAGGHHHHH WHY WASNT SHADOW IN ADVANCE 3 RAGHHHH #Do you Understand
