OK HI ITS RANDOM G/T THOUGHT TIME

Picture the biggest, meanest, angriest giant of all time. They live ages away from civilization and scare away any humans who dare to get close. But then one day a human shows up who just isn’t scared for some reason. In fact, they seem genuinely curious and enthusiastic. Like the giant picks them up and roars in their face and they’re just like

“Wow! That was impressive! How do you get so low and guttural like that? And is that pork I smell?”

This leads to an unlikely friendship where the giant reveals how they only try to be scary because that’s what people expect, since they’re so much bigger than everyone else, and nobody ever tried to get to know them, so now they just push everyone away. And then the human reveals they feel similar, since they were also always seen as kind of a weirdo and just UGH it’s so good.

Wait shoot I think I just described Shrek and Donkey’s dynamic

BUT STILL

Ok @nuit-apres-nuit I'm still thinking about bastard son so this is all directed at you. Anyway it's that throughout the series Nathan and his dad are used as scapegoats by both sides. The fairborns use him and his dad as the "ultimate evil". It was his dad that destroyed the peace talks, that used the ceasefire as a means to kill all the fairborns there. It's him they blame in lieu of blaming his dad, and then they go on to use this blame as a way of justifying him being the one to kill his dad. At all times the focus is on Nathan and his dad, not on why his dad killed all those people, not on what they're doing to achieve their goals. If Nathan fails it's his fault, not theirs. And the Blood witches see his dad as some kind of messiah, for exactly the same reasons the fairborns hate him. They push all their hopes onto his dad, and thus onto Nathan. Again all pressure is on him to do the "right" thing.

And!!! This is why his relationship with Gabriel and Analise works so well!!! Because Analise never saw him as dangerous, never saw him as his father's son. She was the outlier in the fairborns, the only one other than his gran to see him as himself. And Gabriel is the same but for the Bloods. He's the only Blood to now view him as the successor to his father, or a threat to his father. To both of them who he is is determined by him, not his parents or the prophesy

my comic is live right now!

kyle and rex is an absurdist drama set in a stagnant afterlife where everyone lies, cheats, manipulates, and hurts each other in order to gain political power and admiration from the public.

with characters constantly haunted by ghosts of the past, trying to stay on top of the food chain despite constant betrayals and having their secrets held up above their heads, comes back kyle, from his long stay back as a guiding spirit on earth, to take back reigns of the throne in the inbetween. though much like everyone else, hes got a long list of dirty laundry that many are aching to reveal. there are no real friends here.

What The Sonic Franchise Does That's Great and Why You Don't Notice It First As A Kid.

You know when I go back and watch some old playthroughs of Sonic games, I noticed that Sonic the Hedgehog is surprisingly mature for its time. Not so much that kids can't enjoy, but it's something you don't notice until you get older, you know?

In the early days, The Sonic Franchise actually dealt with some important topics and conveyed a lot of really good messages. Of course, there's the obvious Nature vs Industrialism, which is a really good topic to get awareness to. But it also dealt with very deep themes and topics that you don't realize they did until you got older.

For example, Sonic games and shows conveyed and actually showed trauma, death, and grief. In Sonic 2, if you fail to get all the Chaos emeralds, it turns out, Eggman KILLS Tails. It's not shown until the end, but the somber way Sonic turns to the stars and the Tails constellation is shown, tells us ALL we need to know.

Then there's Sonic Adventure 2, a game that features Shadow the Hedgehog, a creation made for a child he grew close to and loved like a sister until she died RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, SAVING HIS LIFE AS SHE DID. She tells Shadow to protect and fight for the world she never got to go to. This game isn't just a simple action game or a simple introduction to a soon-to-be ruined character (I'm so sorry Shadow...), it actually explores grief and the ways we can overcome it.

Not only that, but Tail's arc in Sonic Adventure is also to be mentioned. This kid was bullied for his extra Tail (to which some people can relate, not just for bullying, but being outcasted due to a deformity you never asked for), but ultimately grew proud of it, which again can inspire so many who relate to his issues. Not only that, but Sega manages to kill two birds with one stone, while Tails made a friend Sonic, he became dependent on him. When realizing this, Tails actively becomes independent, mainly from the fact that he owes Sonic SO MUCH and can't afford to rely on him for EVERYTHING. He fights against Eggman and saves Station Square ALL ON HIS OWN. This ties into the reality of every kid becoming an independent adult ready to face the world.

Unlike other games made in that time, where it's all simple action and colorful fun, Sonic had this...this...

How do I explain it?

Okay, look at it this way, in every early Sonic game and show there was this hidden walnut of maturity, that when found and cracked at the right time would show you all of the themes and messages of things you might've gone through during or when you got older and envelops you, showing you that you are strong, telling you that you're not alone; and that realization made me LOVE this franchise even MORE.

I think part of the downfall of this Franchise was how Sega brushed their trauma and development aside, and when they did include it, it was half-assed instead of a meaningful exploration. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE comedic shows like Sonic Boom, but I just miss that DAMN walnut (XD), you know?

Then Sonic Frontiers came out. And it was as if I was taking a breath of air after being smothered, that subtle but deep display of maturity was BACK. The exploration of these characters, and the delicate but STRONG handling of death and grief, I missed so much.

Then there was Sonic Prime, and my heart was EXPLODING with happiness. The way they handle Nine's trauma at being abused so elegantly, the subtle Amy under Rusty Rose (a ROBOTICED AMY), hell even the old Nature vs Industrialism is back!

This right here is what makes Sonic great, and I'm so happy they brought it back!
