sonadow is genuinely a really good ship that makes a lot of sense if u let go of homophobia and "cringe" and just think about it.

they match each others dynamic SO well, very protective of one another, literal two sides of the same coin w direct parallel experiences, the fruity looks they give each other, shadow being the only one able to keep up w him even in super form, sonic being a lot like maria

"it'll never be canon" idk the vas and writers seem to like it🤷‍♀️ the takeovers and sonic prime is close enough to make us happy, plus if we're strict to canon nothing would be fun.

and why is everything titled sonic x shadow LMAOO- first the game then the takeover then the jp title.. they couldve used any other name or variation but no. SONIC X SHADOW take it or leave it (they're definitely aware)

sure ig ships and romance can be cringe sometimes but its for fun yk?? every single time i see someone post or mention sonadow as a ship some homophobe always goes in to ruin the fun like "theyre JUST rivals and friends nothing more do NOT ship them they are straight it'll never be canon" even making up shit to make it "problematic" like stfu omggg... i hate plenty of ships but commenting on others posts is so unnecessary just mute/block n move on??

why are you even there anyway? esp on youtube like bro clicked on a sonadow video posted by a channel named sonadow fan and get mad when u see sonadow what were u expecting😹

not just that but sonadow specifically gets way too much hate compared to anything else. the amount of posts ive seen like "worst things in the sonic fandom: *sonic just kissing shadow* *pedophilia* *weird asf fetish* *incest*" then everyone in the comments only dogpiles sonadow like r u fucking srs rn😭😭

Feeling so grateful for our show and our little community here today. I'm so glad our times and places happened to line up just right to all fall in love with our show and be here right now.

OFMD is such a special show. It's smart and well-written and thoughtful and it's also so, so very funny and fun to watch and engage with. It's affirming and kind, and it makes me want to be kinder to myself and love more openly and enthusiastically. It inspires me to create and be more true to myself and it's also just a very fun show to watch when I need a pick-me-up.

And I love our community here! There is SO much talent in this fandom, it's incredible, and you all are so wonderful and sweet and kind. Every day I get to see new art and read new fics and laugh at my mutuals' funny tags and reblog gifs and just take a break from the world for a little while. It's so special.

I feel like general space marine rizz is "Your clothes look nice. They would look better on the floor."

Their negative rizz and autistic qualities out here actually allowing them to get all the guys and gals.

They just don't get how, or even aware that booty is after them.

hi! i just wanted to say your work is so endlessly inspiring. the way you use space is so interesting, specifically your choice of positive and negative space feels really thoughtful. i started linocutting a few months ago and am learning it is not easy to make those choices lol

its also really special to see your art come to life after its fired. knowing that your finished pieces are out there and someone gets to love it physically and maybe eat or drink from it is so awesome

i just wanted to aknowledge how many layers of talent are going on here, and i hope you hear that often. im happy to have found you and cant wait to see what you make next

🥰 this is a plethora of wonderful compliments, thank you so much!

I really have learned to think about positive and negative space differently because of sgraffito. I think it helped me evolve as an artist tbh.

I’d done some linocut before, and it was always a challenge to make those decisions. though it does get a bit easier with practice. and deciding whether I want to carve away the positive or the negative always requires a bit of thought

linocut/sgraffito are more restrictive than some art forms, which I always find provokes a lot more thought during the design process. linocut maybe even moreso, because I can hide flaws in sgraffito carvings, but if you’re making prints …it cannot be hidden lol

I also love thinking about my pottery out there on people’s shelves, in their cupboards, in their hands ❤️ I always enjoy seeing the pictures people share of my work in their homes

The other post I made about it was pretty vent-y so I'm going to make another one on the same subject, but;

Going into spaces specifically intended for the positive appreciation or enjoyment of something with the intent to be negative or the attempt to convert it to a negative space is both a shitty thing to do and it Will Not get you the result you want.

As one reblogger on the post said; Reddit is appalling for this, but Tumblr is already hot on its heels.

People create spaces around the things they enjoy because, well, they enjoy them. They want a space to create and share that enjoyment. They want a space where they can cycle that positivity into content and community.

These spaces are founded on the enjoyment of the source and the belief that it is good. TV shows, movies, books, games. These spaces are based on the pure fact that the people within them, by majority, like what they are consuming.

And obviously, that doesn't mean you can't be critical of aspects of it, or not like parts of it, or be disappointed with things that have happened. But the point is that the good should vastly outweigh the bad.

And if you're trying to wedge yourself into those positive spaces with the bad outweighing the good, that is not the space for you. That is not the purpose of the space, nor is it fair to the people who created that space with the intent of being positive.

It is not, by any means, toxic positivity to have a specific place designed to revolve around the enjoyment of and positive perception of something.

That place is not for you and your voice. Your voice does not have the right to speak over theirs within that space. Positive spaces are not obligated to allow you to speak within them.

You're not going to change minds by being negative in those positive spaces. You're just going to make people avoid you and dislike you and be unwilling to listen to what you have to say.

The aerialbots share one room (positive) and so do the stunticons (negative).

wildrider and breakdown share a bunk bed but wildrider sleeps under his bed. dead end and drag strip share a bunk, dead end did ask to sleep in a coffin when he learned about vampires but his request was denied. they all tried to smother motormaster in his sleep but forgot cybertronians don't breathe through their mouths so mm just woke up with a pillow on his face.

fireflight wasn't allowed to sleep on the top bunk bc the team was afraid he'd roll over and fall, so air raid took the top and now he rolls over and falls twice a week but refuses to give up his top bunk status. skydive and slingshot constantly fight over the night light, skydive cant sleep unless its 100% pitch black and slingshot is afraid of the dark but would never admit it even though everyone knows

Create a captivating masterpiece in the style of realism that reveals the timeless charm of a brunette woman with big eyes, long fluffy eyelashes with a beautiful body in silk clothes against the background of a serene forest. Against the background of an untouched blue canvas, the composition intentionally highlights the main elements, focusing on the graceful contours of the female figure. In this visually mesmerizing work of art, the silhouette of a brunette woman appears as a symbol of modern realism, embodying the essence of simplicity and refined beauty. The soft tones of the sunset delicately envelop her figure, creating a smooth fusion of gentle warmth of shades and precise lines that define her silhouette. The ideal of realism extends to the purposeful absence of complex details, allowing the viewer's imagination to create its own narrative. The emphasis on clean lines serves to enhance the sophistication of the composition, immersing the observer in a visual language that radiates elegance and restraint at the same time. Participating in a subtle dance between positive and negative space, the work of art strategically uses the latter to elevate the overall composition. The strategic use of empty space gives a feeling of lightness, encouraging viewers to appreciate not only the silhouette of a woman, but also the harmonious balance between form and emptiness. This work beckons to contemplation, unfolding as a serene visual narrative in which simplicity, elegance and modern aesthetics are organically combined. The flowing fabric of the clothes emphasizes the silhouette of the ideal figure of the female body. Thanks to the careful play of negative space and a restrained color palette, the artist attracts the viewer's attention, inviting him into a calm exploration where beauty resonates in the subtleties of realistic expression

have you ever considered...that identifying out of woman/girlhood because you don't relate to the societal implications, expectations, etc... contributes to making womanhood (feel) even more restrictive? maybe you feel better when thinking of yourself as anything but a girl/woman because you do not feel like a woman (what does that even mean?) but in my opinion you just added another brick into the prisonwall that is gender.

remember to curate your space, write with those who appreciate the time and effort you put into your writing and your muses ! 💗💞
