#can you see all of meeeee walk into my mysteryyyyyyy

[lowpolyshadow]

i wouldnt be a sonic fan in general without archie (like literally bc i got intro’d with it blah blah) but i feel like the shadow page i redrew/the issue its from is… actually the reason why i still hold him up and say hes neat and that i like him bfksjfdk (i still think hes funny nowadays tho i just. u know. different kind of humor. different depth. if i only knew current shadow i would Not like him for the same reasons)

it really sold me on his whole character …. plus just felt . So much seeing him have to witness the person he loves and misses the most just disintegrate in front of his eyes, and he basically just has to relive maria dying. like. man. that page has stuck with me for years. ill never be able to forget him saying “i can’t leave maria Again” ….

and the issue . of course i have to like it it gave me my knuckles and shadow agenda + shadow admitting that he’s a being made of love… slaps this hedgehog this bad boy can fit so many problems but they all derive from the fact that he just Cares. Way Too Much. it just depends on what it’s about (enacting maria’s “last wish” (both the fake one and the real one), finding out who he is, then that beautiful moment of 06 where it genuinely feels like hes about to be at peace with both and find a balance … now its. beating sonic ig)
