just need to mention i spent like a solid few minutes talking with some friends about how u write shadow and his shadowisms so well (i want to punch him so bad hes so. bitch) and i was feeling it so deep in my soul with the latest chapter after he started getting uppity about how he doesnt want sonic to treat him like hes fragile like POINTING THATS THE CONCEPT I ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! also gay gay homosexual gay

unironically me looking at this ask^

if it wasn’t already incredibly obvious shadow is my fave character to write for so this makes me so happy to see. also shadowisms is a great term for them because that’s really what they are!

#i have many thoughts about my specific portrayal of shadow that i may save for another time #because while i don’t think my shadow behaves as say canon current-day shadow would #he’s also NOT that #shadow’s character has so many little nuances and possibilities and its fun to explore what would be different and what would be the same #if events of his life had gone differently #for example i think a shadow who had not lost his memory after the events of sonic adventure 2 would be very different than say #the shadow the hedgehog we see in shth and sonic 06 #same principle with mdlhea shadow. in this au his life went quite differently but i still want to maintain those core personality traits #and then we have mdlhea sonic whose life and upbringing was even more drastically different from his canon self than shadow #I’ve been trying to strike a balance between the differing circumstances of their upbringings while keeping their characters recognizable #and i think im doing okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or at least im having fun with it and tbh thats all that really matters in the end #whoops remember how i said id save my thoughts for another time #shadow #asks #mdlhea #jii-prime #text
