This is going to get long. Sorry Op, but sometimes a post just happens to conincide whislt my writing/anlysis brain is on and well.. this happens:
I know this is sonadow posting but ignoring the shipping aspect- this actually encapulates a constant trait of Shadow the Hedgehog (and team dark as well) in which he often lacks the desire or need to constantly SAY or act (in the socially obvious sense atleast) as if he cares or is concerned about you (most people will consider his behavior "tsundere"-like in the fact that he openly has tendencies to deny any allegations of caring for someone, especially that of Sonic).
However,
whats intresting to is that not only does Sonic seem aware of this factoid (that others, aside from team dark memebers as they all dervive from similar ways of expression, dont seem to actievly be aware of), but openly engages with it in a fun, lighthearted and teasing way. Though Sonic is known for his mockery and clowning, when its particularly aimed at Shadow, it always feels like a confirmation rather than a sign of "just messin with him" (though of course it can always be the case).
Its not the best example but- lets say sonic is in need of help and Shadow is on a mission and on the way he decides has to save him. So, on the outside he appears more focused on external things, simply "doing this cause buissness is buissness" or he may be annoyed and scold Sonic for being too reckless and forcing him to have to save him on a mission.
Sonic, brushes it off and is joking about the situation- showing the more braver and stronger front of his persona. This however, may cause Shadow to get angry or annoyed as the light banter contrasts with the emergency.
So basically, the whole thinh could be chalked up to "Shadow get annoyed at Sonic for being dumb and Sonic teases Shadow cause he likes to mess with people" and nothing more.
But then if you examined it a bit more, it could be something more akin to "Shadow is very worried and concerned with Sonic being in danger and actively dislikes it when he is put in troubling situations, he has doesnt express this in a "oh my gosh are you okay🥺?!" So intead he resorts to simple correction of action via light "scolding" or simply telling him not to do it again. (In colors DS, when shadow was worried about his saftey, its simply a "good, your back." Or something similar. Again. Its always implied with him and never stated upfront.) Whilst Sonic, whom understands that hes worried, but requires some amount of vocalized validation to this fact, prys it out of him via the teasing, through the light banter of "why? you worried😏? ", "i didnt know you were such a good hugger" or something like that.
I think this attitude is what makes him feel safer around the people he is with, as if they are able to handle the mocking tone of Sonics more present persona, it would be safe to say that he can trust them enough to feel comfortable lets say.. be carried in someones arms in the middle of space while hes practically dying, because if they can handle the "annoying" part of him and still care about him deeply, then thats a keeper.
I think theres a trust and validation in that aspect.
(I think this especially also plays into characters like team dark, or even knuckles and Blaze. I think hes much softer on characters like Amy and Tails.)
Especially when you realise that Sonic was so pissed off at shadow he actively antagonized and called him a "faker" (yeah thats Sonic's thing. He started that.) And somehow, not only was Shadow about to play off of that in a fun way, he used it to make himself look "better" than Sonic and might actually be one of the first characters in game (that i know of) other than eggman to actually have seriously gotten on his nerves (to the point he was pacing around in jail all like pissed off), which is hilarious.
But overall, it just shows that Shadow can effectively take the worst of Sonic and send it back in a fun way (which grabs at Sonic's addrenline junkie fun-time addicted brain). If anything, once Shadow understands that Sonic literally is "what you see is what you get" he accepts that.
I think there thats where that respect comes from. In both parties as Shadow respects Sonics autheticty and expression, and in i think he may even find an appreciation for it.
Furthermore, you also can see how Sonic is capable of reading people quite well, and is able to understand other peoples thought proccess (which makes him good at making quick jabs that piss them off).
So when swapping the tables and haing Shadow in danger and Sonic the savior, the two probably would function the same way as i discussed prior- except sonic is much more capable of expressing the easy-to-pick up on "oh my gosh are you okay🥺?!" Type stuff. He might even literally say "ohmygosh r u okay 🥺?!" If hes THAT worried.. So Shadow never needs to "pry" anything out of him. In this light, Shadow is well aware thay Sonic cares about him (hes just annoying about it). Which makes it so that what Shadows gains from Sonic is less of that "validation & trust/comfort" and more of.. acceptance and understanding.
Because Shadow is often a character that in-universe is either mythologized, demonized or inhumanized ( inhedgehogized???) But when introduced to Sonic (who remind you is the FIRST character to seriously call Shadow a "heroic hedgehog" or something akin to that)
He becomes well. "shadow the hedgehog" not "Shadow the sciene project" or "Shadow the Ultimate lifeform" or "Shadow the dangerous entity" or what not. Theres a sense of "i take you as you are" type of way that Sonic gives to him. And with that he accepts whatever form Shadoe comes to him with. Never forcing anything on or away from him (to the point where Shadow straight up gives him his own "title" which again, is something SO intergral to who he is that the fact Shadow even did that just shows how much importance Sonic reprenst in his life. It took one person to show him that authenticty and acceptance thats hes
been craving ever since well.. probably maria). I think thats where that particular respect comes from and in some ways? Especially during the very last parts of SA2 where Shadow yells out to him the "i think your the ultimate lifeform!" To sonic and in turn when Shadow "dies", Sonic says hes "Shadow. Shadow the hedgehog" theres a tradeoff there.
The fact of the matter is, i think its more than just "oh look at this shadow says he isnt going to save him but then actually does" because 1. Two difrenet contexts (obviously) but 2. I dont think its even unrealistic for shadow to say he "wont save him" but then actually does.
He cares about Sonic too much to actually let shitty things happen, but wont actively coddle him like team sonic would. If anything, i personally think its more of I "i wont save you, so dont do something stupid, because then thats your fault and im not responsible for cleaning up after you." And less of a "i wont save you, I would let you get hurt/injured and die" type ordeal?
Idk, what do you, dear reader, have to say about this?
thinking....
#idk man#sure#sonadow#like eh im just so chil about these too now#like even in my “shipping them” aus its always just so chill#theyre just very chill i feel with occasional intensitys due to differences in ideals or executions.#but overral despite being “polar opposites” the journey they went through together makes its so that its hard to seperate them.#i just.. i dunno. maybe i overthink it#im just rethinking character relationships and how i interpret and interact with them through a writing and analysis perspective#and its just#at some point you realize that out sonics freindships and shadows freindships are very polar a#but the thing connecting the two sides are shadow and sonic- as a symbol of ambassadorship almodt#also i think team dark later provided much of what i think Sonic provides but on a larger much more stable scale.#i personally like to think the integration of rouge in team sonic games is intresting as it really hammers in that feeling of “introduction#idk what im aaying anymore#someone tell me what they think

"Hair dyes or perms or just a quick snip, you can always count on your ol' pal Clip!"
it's about time i officially shared my design for Clip from my hairdresser au! here's the silly boi himself!
a.k.a. the most complicated character i've ever designed...
close ups and additional comments under the cut!
that's my boi, despite his crazy design, i love him. his silly top knot hat, the horn-like points around his faceplate, his speckled colours, his four arms, and his funky pants. he's just soooooo fun.
Clip likes to play games and knit! he even made the patchwork pants he wears (he made Sun and Moon a pair too, but they're too precious for them to wear... also a little gaudy to wear in public—doesn't stop Clip tho!). He actually makes everything the boys wear, since there's not a lot of things in their size/shape.
instead of resting at night, he can be found in their living room, playing Kirby 64 for the nth time and/or knitting something. he's just too restless to stay still, he's always gotta be doing something and if it isn't gaming, knitting, or hairdressing, then he's up to No GoodTM.
Clip... likes popping balloons. he says "Goodnight!" with each popped balloon and once he's done, he tosses up the scraps like confetti all while giggling joyfully.
needless to say, he is not fun at parties. Sun and Moon don't let him near balloons for this reason.
and yes, he has sewing needles on hand at all times. for fashion emergencies... and for unsuspecting balloons.
Clip's not allowed to have a phone (just imagine all the in-app purchases Sun and Moon would have to deal with), but he likes to keep up with his customers and their games, even if he doesn't get their fixation over bluenets he'll never openly admit it but he prefers curly-haired blond hunks that look sweet in soft pastels but could also squash him like the spider he is
also, he's great at microbraiding! though i imagine if Sun and Moon are free, they'd come help to shorten the wait but also to compete and see who braids the most (Clip always wins of course—make anything into a game, and he's winning)
aaaaand there's this! i wanted to make sure Clip would be able to freely rotate his waist so his arms could have their full range of motion, and this was the solution i came up with: a crop top on top and a wrap around his waist. and Clip here is being a sneaky little scamp about it.
#fnaf eclipse#fnaf dca#dca fandom#fnaf oc#Clip New Do Same You AU#New Do Same You AU#“but crabs YOU designed him you could have made him easier for you to draw”#but everything is just SO FUN and/or lore-relevant!#like the points around his faceplate give me oni vibes i love it#i hate drawing so many hands but man he's just so silly and he needs every last one#and HIS PANTS#LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THE DCA WOULDN'T WEAR PATCHWORK PANTS IF THEY COULD#legit the pants were a major breakthrough in his design#he's just a silly guy#honestly i have been on a bit of an artblock lately#and maybe drawing Clip wasn't the best way to ease myself out of it#but it worked i think?#i dunno just been overthinking things a lot lately#that's kinda why i've been quiet again on tumblr#i just need to let loose and just let myself have fun yknow?#like this sketch page has a lot of mistakes in it#but i tried not to dwell on those and kept moving forward#it doesn't need to be perfect it just needs to be#bright colours#cw bright colours#crab art#traditional art

Maybe I was the only one who didn't notice this and i'm stupid but does Mari have Earrings??
LIKE SHE HAS SOME HERE BUT
Every other Fanart is without her having Earrings,,
AND THEN THERE'S HERO
Where he has the same case scenario of Having Earrings sometimes BUT NOT ALL THE TIME
He has it a little more often in fanart but otherwise it's meh
Now I've realized Something
I'm just headcanoning but Were Mari and Hero Post canon gonna get earrings together,,??
The only time Mari has her Earrings is in the artwork of the whole Omori Band thing for the Omori concert and in that Drawing she's part human part ghost
And uuhh you never find Hero with Earrings on in canon
mmmm
Maybe I'm overthinking this too much LMAO I just find this silly
#✧ dyesprout's randoms! ✧#omori#omori mari#mari omori#omori hero#hero omori#omori heromari#heromari#heromari omori#Omori headcanons#I don't know#I think i'm just overthinking it but#I dunno it sounds like a silly headcanon for like uh#Post Canon if Mari Didn't die#they get earrings together :3#Maybe i'm just delusional ladnalkjaldsjkv

sigh . i hate the writer curse of feeling like your writing has decreased quality-wise because you can never know for sure if it’s an actual observation your brain is making or if it’s just the Voices
#oughhhh …. throws up blood……..#i don’t usually get that insecure over my writing but recently i’ve just been. i dunno :’)#i’m not dissatisfied with my writing exactly i just get the feeling that my recent fics Lack something#….#i could also just be overthinking the reception i get which i 💀 tend to do.#it’s an awful feeling either way though#maybe it’s because i’ve been writing sm pure fluff instead of like . something longer and more dense…..#i don’t mean 2 complain or make it sound worse than it is but it’s . been getting to me lately is all!!!!!!#i really do think merguru could save me. i need to put my all into a fic i really really care about..#ari noises ✩

I asked a person to add a tw tag for a post that was a little triggering to me (this same person knows that this thing is triggering to me) and they haven't added that tw and I don't know if they genuinely didn't see me asking or if they're ignoring me and this is a really stupid thing to be upset over but I am and I dunno what to do

fellas is it weird to wanna draw your OC hanging out with other peoples' interpretations of Fake Peppino?
because hear me out. like my brainrot has gripped me by the ear and SHOUTING at me to draw Eyhm hanging out with as many Frogs as possible. but like. should i ask first?? would it be too weird to come outta the blue and be like "hey yeah i drew my silly little kitten hanging out with your Fakey boy hope that's okay 👍"
or it could be the usual extreme anxiety talking. i dunno.
#ggggHGGGHHG i know i'm probably overthinking it but. drawing this dumb tiny cat makes me happy.#and drawing her interacting with stuff makes me VERY happy!!! but hhhhgh maybe i just feel kinda scared about. drawing stuff like that-#without ASKING first. is that weird?? like i'm worried they'd think it's weird or just not care at all.#i dunno. brain is dumb. i just wanna find more excuses to draw people's Stuff though man.....

Maybe it’s just because of her hairpins, but I swear, Princess feels more like she’s candy themed to me than she is berry
I mean yeah, I know part of that disconnect may come from how she was designed way before the other Hollyberrians (well other than her parents and sister, but eh. Her parents got some amount of redesign and her sister isn’t supposed to be part of the kingdom, at least not in the way the other three are), but I dunno, I don’t look at her and think she’s berry flavored, despite the fact that logically according to her family, she should be
#maybe she was originally candy themed but then her kingdom’s theme got changed to berry?#I would assume because berry is easier to work with since “candy” doesn’t necessarily have a universal theme to work with#but berries are easier in the regard#if that makes sense?#it probably doesn’t#maybe I’m overthinking this (I probably am)#but I dunno this is just how I feel#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#princess cookie#random stuff

tried a new strategy of going through posts by just going to the people i follow’s account n just scrolling, but i realise that just leads to me spamming people so i won’t do that again!
sorry to those who were subjected to my experiment <3 i didn’t mean to be annoying
#i just wanna be able to keep up with y’all ‘cus i genuinely feel like som of y’all are a friend#but like…at this point i should just maybe stay in contact with y’all by actually like communicating with u#do any of my mutuals actually wanna be like my buddy n like chat#idk idk if i actually have that dynamic with any of u#i don’t wanna force ppl to talk to me lol#i dunno if some of us are only held together by our shared interest#like obvs that’s what drew us to each other but like#idk#i wonder if i’d still only want to talk about sonic n if that would get old for y’all#aUGH i’m overthinking fuckign Tumblr™️

question on tumblr etiquette:
if you fall under a user's DNI list, but that user reaches out to you via ask or DM, without knowing you fall under their DNI list, do you still respond?
hypothetical example: user A specifies on their blog "DNI if you're over the age of 18", but then user A reaches out to user B. User B is over the age of 18, but user A does not know this because user B doesn't mention it on their blog. User B does know that user A does not wish to interact with people over the age of 18. does user B respond to user A?
#crab chatter#someone sent me an ask and i happened to see they have a detailed list of DNI criteria#and i fall under it#but now i dunno what to do?#i don't wanna be rude by ignoring their message#but i also don't want to be disrespectful for breaching their DNI#even if they don't currently know#maybe i'm overthinking things#i tend to do that#i might just play it safe and not respond#cuz i feel like everyone has their own reasons for their boundaries#and it's not my place to determine whether or not my well-intentioned attempt to be polite/friendly is comfortable for them#the other user put in the effort of communicating their boundaries#they just didn't know i fall under their DNI before reaching out#but it's MY responsibility to act responsibly and uphold their boundary#i'll add this to my pinned post rules#i will not reply if I feel uncomfortable or if I feel like my response could potentially make someone feel uncomfortable#of course i'm not going to talk to them about the topic(s) they have boundaries around#but if they truly do not want to interact with people of certain ages or beliefs or lifestyles etc#i want to respect that#i just feel bad about giving people the cold shoulder#but i'd feel worse if the other person felt hurt or betrayed#yeah i'm definitely overthinking it

I....dunno what to do with this info. lasjfdklj
#silly talks#literally just realized this#it's def making me feel things#but I'm not sure what TT0TT#like if the intent was they keep Kanji's sexuality open bc they didn't want people to go back and link his hobbies w/his sexuality#why make him the one that kisses the most guys on screen(ish) in the Hashino trilogy (and series???? did he kiss more than Jun did???)#wait did Jun even kiss tats?????#i guess it does balance it out to keep ppl guessing but like...what IF he is straight? TT0TT#i dunno maybe I'm thinking too hard and too deep than they intended#it's just suppose to be a gag but it's hard to tell if there's unfortunate implications#of if those only are assumed to be there bc of A POSSIBILITY in the reading of the character#which is just a caveat of having it open to interpretation and-yeah i'm overthinking it I think dsklfja;f
