#Shadows can speak

[yellowrose222]

Favorite aww yizhan moments

Just by watching the shawdows if you can

see "DDs yiekies smile with twinkling eyes" and hear GGs voice telling "don't start again yibo. Are you a human?!" then your a true turtle.

made a comic to express the relief and joy sonic felt when talia finally spoke for the first time once she became more comfortable. [read from left to right]

Shadow trying to hit Sonic with his bike is so fucking funny to me

Like you can see him actively trying to land on him and then when Sonic dodges he just kinda starts to lean away like “well i tried. Anyway,” he’s such a menace i love him so much

[couch-house]

playing with stc + exit shadow and rouge some more. i hit shadow with the girl beam last month and forgot to tell you. oops!

[lowpolyshadow]

i went insane and wrote a gens fic about shadow and maria, but somehow its also sonic and shadow, BUT THE FOCUS. IS SHADOW AND MARIA. OK (spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers)

sorry but the "trying to get rid of us" part.... like we were here from literally day one. you came into OUR house and decided the show was about something that it's not. also, even if we weren't here from the beginning, we deserve to be here every bit as you do. why are you trying to gatekeep fandom, when it's always been for the freaks. especially on the incest family horror show

[cometblaster2070]

entirely incorrect i'm sure but a silly thing I was just wondering about was yk how in the promised consort radahn fight during his phase change radahn looks like THIS:

and then miquella comes in and this strange red aura fades from radahn and it's replaced by miquella's golden light

(forgive me for the atrocious picture but)

and then miquella himself comes and joins the fight by just piggybacking on radhan

and ik this comparison's probably been made before, but I found miquella and radahn's pose really interesting along with the details of radahn being surrounded by this glowing red aura and literally SHAKING the ground during his mid-phase cutscene, looking absolutely FERAL, before miquella comes in and radahn seems to calm down (sort of????) in a way and the glowing red is instead replaced by miquella's gold before the aura completely vanishes.

and what it reminded me of was primarily godfrey and serosh

and i wondered if this was that kind of scenario because with godfrey and serosh, godfrey took serosh upon his back to suppress his lust for battle so that he could act as a 'proper lord'

so i wonder if during that cutscene when we see radahn glowing RED and shaking the ground and generally looking altogether terrifying, we're basically seeing radahn's bloodlust/lust for battle arise before miquella comes in and suppresses that urge; he ends up acting as the serosh to radahn's godfrey to suppress this battle lust so that radahn can act as a 'proper lord' or something along those lines.

just something i was thinking about because I was rewatching PCR's cutscene (it's so insanely cool.) and I just wondered about this detail. It's definitely wrong but I find it interesting to think on all the same.

everyone loves talking about the batshit worldbuilding in WoT but I feel like everybody tends to overlook the Vaguely Evil Elves From Another Dimension that have their own officially licensed chutes and ladders-esque board game that you Cannot Ever Win

Legendary jumpscare hello???

Of all the merch they've been making so far, this was NOT where I expected to see my blorbos LMAO??

Wind maybe because he interacted with Shadow Milk in his story, but the other two is crazy

They're so small though, so cropping it and zooming in makes it so crusty and I can't see the details RAHH

local guy claims intellectual superiority by declaring people who criticise veilguard just haven't played long enough and don't really know what bad writing is. it must be very peaceful to have such an empty head.

The Forgotten Curse

They don’t tell his story. They don’t whisper his name in fear, though they should. Before Stefan, before Damon, before the Petrova bloodline wove its tangled web of fate — there was Cassian. The first. The original shadow. The doppelgänger no one remembers.

Cassian was the first known Heretic — a creature that shouldn’t exist, a vampire with the power of a witch. Magic didn’t die in his veins when he turned. No, it burned brighter. Stronger. Uncontrollable. He was a walking paradox, an insult to nature, and he reveled in it. A spell on his lips, a blade in his hand, blood on his conscience (not that he ever cared).

Imagine: Cassian, with Damon’s face but none of his smile. Magic in his veins, darkness in his soul. Not just a doppelgänger – but an anomaly. A threat. A legend never told. He didn’t just destroy, he made you love the destruction.

Born of Silas’s sin and nature’s cruel balance, Cassian was never just a reflection. He was fire and ice, silk and steel. A charmer with a silver tongue and a wicked glint in his eyes, a man who could kiss you breathless one moment and tear your world apart the next. His smile could be warm, inviting — dangerously deceptive. Because beneath the smooth words and effortless charm was something far more terrifying: a predator.

Damon may be reckless, Klaus may be cruel, but Cassian? Cassian was unpredictable. One moment, a charming rogue with a playful smirk, the next, a cold-blooded nightmare with eyes that held centuries of malice. He didn’t break hearts; he shattered souls. // Proud Brother of Talia.

Sonadow Fic Rec

Okay, before you jump down to the masterpieces listed below, I just wanted to state this:

These authors have given this phenomenal content for free, baked with time and effort. I have never once ignored this, hence why I try and comment on each and every one of these fics. However, my energy and ability to be verbose differs day to day. Some of these fics I have not given proper comments for, despite this, I will be on it the moment I can be. In the time being, (once I am able to find my comments on each of these fics) I will be sharing my adoration for them further in other posts (and most likely link back to this one).

With that being said, please, PLEASE take your time to check each of these fics out. If they're not your cup of tea? Valid! But hands down I have never dedicated myself to making a fic rec like this until now. But I MUST share and spread these works, they are much too dear to me not to, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

(All fics are listed by order saved in my bookmarks, not in the order read)

tangled threads and bite-marked shoulders by @rubyiiiusions

Shadow hissed in pain. The laser had just grazed him, but it still stung, and he instinctively gripped the wound it left on his arm. “You dare-” He stopped. The laser hadn’t hit him. In fact, it had struck Sonic, right on his lower left arm. So why did his forearm feel like it just got shot? He whipped around, fear climbing up his throat, and he suddenly became hyper-aware of something new. It was like a sixth sense, feeling the confusion that emitted from Sonic’s fur in waves as if it was his own. “What did you do?!” Shadow snarled. or, eggman accidentally soulbinds shadow and sonic, and no one has any idea how to undo it.

'There is a strong arm curled around his torso, the appendage keeping him close to its owner, whose warm breath is ghosting over the back of his neck. Sonic is sure he went to bed alone the previous night, but he isn't worried about the intruder. After all, this isn't the first time this has happened…'

Secret Admirer by @trenchcoat-gecko

Sonic understood well what it meant to be loved. He was a world-famous hero, after all; his presence never went unnoticed. For the most part, he lavished in that attention, he soaked it in and encouraged it. But not romantic attention. So, when the blue blur found himself falling in love? Well, the prospect was rather daunting, no matter how easy Amy had made it out to be. So maybe, just maybe, he should just take the easy way out...

Wolfboy by @trenchcoat-gecko

World-famous monster hunter Shadow the Hedgehog has a job to do. It doesn't take long for the one-shot wonder to realize that this job won't be as simple as he'd expected: a small town, rumors of a lone werewolf, and a handsome, green-eyed, chronically-injured casanova who manages to worm his way into Shadow's heart... What starts off as a simple job turns out to be something much more life-changing.

Clean Slate by nottheweirdest

Shadow has lost himself before. He knows what it's like to straddle the line between reality and false memories, but this time, it’s Sonic whose memory has vanished. A premeditated set of circumstances and an accidental injury leave Sonic with no memory of who he is, his life, or more importantly, his painful history with Shadow. It’s up to Shadow to remind the hero who he is in the midst of a global outbreak. It’s a chance for redemption. It’s a chance to right the wrongs of the past. It’s a clean slate.

There’s a hand on his shoulder, barely making contact. A red gauntlet glows around the wrist. Sonic blinks, the pain having evaporated so fast he feels almost weightless. “Shadow?” Shadow’s breathing heavily. “Problem.” The retrieval of the ancient tech Shadow (and Sonic, in tow) has been sent to uncover takes a turn for the worst. In this case, the “worst” means… becoming physically and inextricably linked to each other. For the foreseeable future. OR: Metaphysical handcuffs, and general gay buffoonery.

Maybe he's not meant to touch. It's the newest excuse he thought of in hopes that he could prolong the game a little more; a careful ruse to enjoy the bittersweet torture of seeing the days pass them by, while he pretends he doesn't seek azure blue whenever he's restless. At first, all he wanted to do was watch: but now the desire to touch, to have, to affect is at a point where he's not sure whether reaching for Sonic would truly be fruitless. He wonders that especially when Sonic's eyes light up upon seeing him. When he corners Shadow, when he invades his space and he touches and takes and then excuses it by calling it a fight. Shadow truly wonders then: if only he was brave enough to reach out, what would his grip find? Loose stars or a battle-worn body? Standing up, he glances at Sonic again, whose eyes have now met his own. There's something heavy in the eye contact, something Shadow doesn't dare name. Neither of them say anything, and yet Sonic's eyes move away from him again, like they did. Shadow warps away, hiding from the stars once more.

Coming Home by nottheweirdest

Words: 55,740 | Completed

Shadow's life has been full of mistakes, some worse than others, but admitting his unrequited feelings to Sonic tops the list. He's spent the better part of a decade ruminating on his regret and hiding from feelings he couldn't bear to face. He never thought he'd see Sonic again, and he told himself that was for the best. Until now. At the bequest of his former rival, and in an attempt to finally get closure, Shadow has returned to Central City. The reason? Sonic the Hedgehog is marrying Amy Rose. And Shadow is invited.
