#like a Sonic on coffee

[000marie198]

Hey so. How are we holding up after the trailer?

My son is dying...

[boonalina]

LOOK AT HIM!! He's so freaking cute!

(New Sonic 3 teaser just dropped. Look at Shadow's little sassy pose! But, of course, I love them all! They're so cute just chilling watching a movie.)

Also, look at him eyeing the chili dog that Sonic probably bought for him but he originally refused and now he's having second thoughts:

"It could use some coffee beans..." -Shadow probably

trying something out

@infidgetweek day 2

coffee date at a real location, used my only photo of the café as reference lol it actually became useful

the location in question: Auro Chocolate Café, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines

this one is taken from Google, but that corner is the exact same spot I had coffee and it was hecking good

[virune]

silly idea: coffee beans are like catnip for the black arms. while shadow's reaction is mitigated, he still greatly enjoys the taste and smell of them. one time sonic spills coffee on himself by accident and shadow doesn't leave him alone until he washes it off

[sonknuxadow]

the sonic twitter takeovers are canon when they say something i like and not canon when they say something i dont like hope this helps

[guess-i-do-art]

You know those chocolate covered coffee beans? I feel like those would be Shadow’s favorite desert type thing.

Except he only eats the like 80% dark chocolate cacao ones. Otherwise they’re too sweet for his taste.

i paused shadow generations during a title card and he came out looking like this LMAO

[bunny-j3st3r]

Found this weird robot in the rain once and he just started to slowly move stuff into my home and brings me weird shiny objects, is that normal?

Commission that I LOVE SO MUCH that @cconcerned

[welcome-to-green-hills]

Imagine the pack of fluffer puppers swarming the local coffeeshop (fuck Starbucks) and having a blast and engaging in caffeine-fueled hijinx.

👀👀👀

[mayziii]

How I’d like to imagine shadows reaction would be to that comment 👀🦔

No, he HEARTS YOU SHADOW

Tails, thoughts on Energy drinks? Theyr great for staying late nights.

Love energy drinks! Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually like coffee (sorry Shadow) (Not sorry). I DO love me a quick energy boost, though, so energy drinks are one of them. They taste like juice, which I do love as well if I'm looking for a non-caffinated alternative. (For when I actually do want to go to sleep, I guess.)

worst popular infinite headcanon?

oh my. this one got long so im going to spare peoples dashes by putting this under a cut haha

anyways my answer is: making him out to be a little crybaby who is driven purely by revenge and sadness to make the world pay for shadow killing his squad mates, whom he loved in a normal way and saw them as family or whatever. it makes his character so goddamn flat and boring bc thats such a standard villain motivation, and it entirely strips away a lot of his personality even when theres already so little to work with LMAO

i know ive spoken about it at length in the dog&hog server but to me, infinites most notable trait is that hes selfish

in the prequel comic rise of infinite (yay, prequel comic talk. everyones favourite, i know) he deliberately ignores any protests from his gang against accepting eggmans deal of working with him, because eggy singles him out and offers him a place at his side to bring his fantasy of ruin into reality. not infinite and his crew, just infinite

(image has two comic panels. in the first one, eggman is reaching a hand out to infinite as he says "now you are an interesting guy. i like you. how about i hire you to lead my forces? together we'll take over the world!" in the second panel, one of the jackal squad members says "boss! dont be tempted by him. we'll be fine!")

and infinite says yes after briefly talking about how he personally feels bored and tired of how the world is right now

(image has two panels. in the first, infinite is mumbling to himself, first laughing and then saying "interesting. all this time ive been going through the motions. ive actually grown quite tired of the world as it is." in the second panel he stands and says "lets do it doctor! i'll help you change this world!")

again, its a decision based off an entirely personal and individualistic opinion that only takes his own feelings into account. you would think that if he valued his squad to the extent that they were "like family" to him, he would have listened when they said he shouldnt make a deal with eggman. if he actually cared about them as much as he cared about himself, he would have trusted them enough to say no. instead he only thinks about what he wants and what he can get, not about what will happen to the others

ive always been of the opinion that infinite used his squad and position of authority as their leader to prop himself up and viewed them more like underlings or subjects that he could order around and be superior to, rather than equals whose opinions and input he valued. maybe he started out having more camaraderie with the other jackals, but it certainly doesnt show by the time we get to the events of the prequel comic, and even less so when we get to episode shadow/the main game

the idea that he saw his squad more like tools to make himself look better than people also makes more sense because when in episode shadow, eggman calls infinites squad "useless" directly to him and all infinite says is "yeah, yeah" in a very uncaring fashion. even when he then spots shadow and says "you.. you destroyed my squad!" its entirely unconvincing to me that he said it out of sorrow or sadness; to me it was more like simple anger that it happened. because now without his little group of followers that looked up to him and did whatever he told them to, he had nobody to feel superior to. he couldnt go on any more power trips by being The Boss bc there was nobody left to indulge him, no one to stoke his ego, nobody to be the boss of. so thats why he felt slighted by shadow in the first place; how dare this hedgehog take away what made him feel special and important. and then of course the ensuing humiliation that came afterward was just the icing on the shit cake haha

it also explains why infinite never brings up his squad in any of his monologues (besides the prequel comics and episode shadow being obvious afterthoughts to the main game loool); he just doesnt care. if anything, their loss was his gain bc it pushed him towards acquiring the phantom ruby and getting to go on the ultimate power trip of world domination and near total subjugation of the population. i think that also ties into his mindset that friends make you weak and you cant rely on anyone but yourself; in his case, thats literally true. if he hadnt lost his squad, if he had initially listened to them, the chain of events we know well would not have come to pass and he would not have gotten to become the powerhouse he did. he would have still been leading his monotonous life and following the same old script. from his perspective they really did hold him back, and only once they were gone was he able to become stronger. he reiterates this by thanking shadow in the dlc for doing what he did in mystic jungle (killing the jackal squad and kicking infinites ass) bc otherwise he wouldnt have gotten the incentive he needed to take on the mantle of becoming a super powered weapon

and if you want some more evidence thats admittedly a lot more of a stretch, you could also interpret infinite creating a posse of past sonic foes as him filling the void of using the jackal squad that was created after shadow had taken them down. he gets to control people again (even if theyre clones that had no choice but to obey him but nyeh i told you it was a stretch), he gets to be a leader again

idk, i just think that having a sob story as a main motivation is (funny joke here) weak. i have never once thought that infinite needs to have some kind of sympathetic or tragic backstory. and maybe thats just my own personal bias coming through bc i prefer villains that are evil for reasons like their moral philosophies or have some kind of goal that makes the audience go "maybe they do have a point tbh" and villains that are just evil for the sake of it over villains that say "my mom died" as if that is any kind of justifiable explanation. imo it almost always comes off as them making an excuse, and its lame. just own it, yknow?

so yeah if i could block one thing from the minds of infinite fans it would be the hc that infinite was tightly knit with the jackals and wanted what was best for them. bc with all the evidence ive seen, its not supported at all, and hes actually the exact opposite; he does what he wants and uses who he wants for his own purposes and gain

also yes i do think shadow straight up killed the other jackals and i do think thats in character for him but thats a conversation for another day

Sonic singing Coffee by Supersister in the shower. Shadow pretends he hates the song but when Sonic can’t see him, he’s grinning affectionately. He loves this idiot
