#every day i think my thoughts

[son1c]

well, anyway, i love to think about shadow being afraid to return to boscage. like genuinely, truly scared by just the thought of stepping foot in that shatterspace again. because he knows the plants want him back. in that instant after sonic grabbed him, but before the shard teleported them away, he could feel the megaflora's molten anger at him being taken away. he could feel their sadness at losing what was, to them, the Best thing that ever happened to them. their gift. their weapon to destroy the wretched planet they were left abandoned on. and shadow knows that they'll stop at nothing to get him back. to bring him into their hive again.

so, yeah. he's scared. because he knows he'll be powerless to stop them. and that's such an uncomfortable, distressing thing for him. him, the ultimate lifeform... completely powerless in the face of the might of an entire planet's ecosystem. he knows that if he were to go back to boscage, he'd fold to the megaflora every time, and his cursed alien genes will give in to what black doom originally intended his purpose to be--to be a servant to a greater army. it disgusts him. reviles him. and terrifies him.

maybe sonic notices that discomfort. and maybe he says, in typical sonic fashion, "i won't let that happen!" so confident. as always. trying to reassure shadow that everything will be fine, but it doesn't work. instead, shadow blows up at him. because "you DON'T know what it was like, sonic. no one can stop them. not even you."

and then i'm thinking about a parallel where... after a beat... sonic's like "...yeah, you're right. i don't know what it was like. but i know you, shadow. and i know you'll pay me back for carrying the team during this round eventually!" (CUT TO SHADOW RACING TO BRING A DISAPPEARING SONIC BACK TO GREEN HILL)

I love libraries.

I'm browsing the WWI shelves (as you do) and notice a very old book about the war. I glance at the first pages that talk about how one day the war will be over and we'll look at this place and not see any signs of the battlefield.

Then it hits me. And I check the publishing date.

This book was printed before the war's end. Not written. Printed. The physical object was created in 1918, while the war in question was raging and the end was as yet uncertain.

Now I'm standing on the other side of the apocalypse, with this physical link to that era in my hands. I'm living proof that the war did end and life did go on and we can all look at the end of the world as a long-ago memory.

Reading old books is cool enough, connecting our minds and hearts through the ideas of people who lived long ago, but there's something extra profound about holding a copy of the book that comes from the time that it was written. It's a physical link between the past and the present connecting me to those long-ago people. A piece of the past come into the future that gives me the chance to almost take the hand of some long-ago reader, to hold something they could have held, connecting not just mentally but physically to their era, a moment of connection across more than a century.

Excuse me while I go weep.

Tfw you (currently obsessed with ISAT who never plays pokemon) play a soul-link nuzlocke with a friend (in for a world of torment) and you can't pay attention to a health bar for the life of you nor remember what types are weak to what.

A Hypothetical.

[introspectivememories]

too many of you guys think nico is the loser and not lewis for letting the divorce go on for so long. like they're both losers about each other. emotionally constipated idiots who can't talk about their toxic homoerotic friendship that imploded on itself like 8 years ago and are now making it everyone else's problem. yeah nico's on television or in beer gardens talking about lewis all the time but like every other month some reporter is like "lewis, what's your favorite moment in your career?" and lewis no hesitation is like "oh man, karting, y'know? everything was simpler then" and then spends another six months skirting around nico's name. like this whole thing they're doing in the media isn't some kinda extended foreplay for them. they're both still pressing on the bruise to make sure it's still there!!! every few months, they're literally just asking on public television, does it still hurt for you like it does for me? and like clockwork, someone will release new information about them or one of them will say something about each other (in my heart, he's still my best friend/yes... and teammate) and the answer will remain the same, yes, of course, always.
