the way they annoy the shit out of each other but deep down still care about each other and are both so happy to be singing together… ����

[lu-is-not-ok]

Hello there! I hope this message finds you well!

My apologies if this sort of hong lu question has already been brought up before, but I wanted to confirm after doing some thinking myself about it, this could just be me looking too into things but-

Have you ever found his little poses and eye shine animations in his ID's after like a skill 3 to be a little strange? He stares DIRECTLY at the camera in them, which could just be there to show him as being silly, but I thought of it as maybe meaning more than that

I my thought process on it is that he is trying to maybe seek some sort of validation as he does those little poses? Maybe wanting to seem cooler or special in some sort, since technically looking at the camera means looking at Dante? I know in voice lines he sometimes goes "did you see that Dante? Pretty cool eh?" Or something along the lines of that, which clearly is seeking validation but I wonder if this is the same for those said poses after skill 3's?

This probably isn't well explained I'm still trying to wrap my head around it a bit, cuz this could also just be me overthinking it but it's always just been so weird to me that he specifically does these "look at the camera and wink with eyeglow"

What do you possibly think of this?

Anon, you have just opened up the opportunity for me to be able to yap about something extremely fucking specific.

Because this is something I've been thinking about somewhat recently, and let me tell you.

There is so, so much more going on with Hong Lu's IDs' animations than what you describe here. Yes, the looking at the camera and the winking can definitely be read in this way, but there's a much deeper, much more all-encompassing thematic motif going on.

You see, all but one Hong Lu ID have something in common with regards to their animations.

They all focus on the Performance of their attacks more so than any form of technical skill.

Let me explain what I mean.

The vast majority of Hong Lu IDs have animations that clearly put focus how Hong Lu is actively trying to make himself look as flashy and extra as possible. Many times it's almost as if he's not really fighting, moreso acting or even dancing.

Every ID that does the pose, look at the camera, and wink routine is part of this motif of Performance, but it's not the only way that motif presents itself.

IDs that do unnecessary weapon twirls and spins, like Yurodivy, K Corp and Base Hong Lu? Those also count. It's especially apparent considering how many IDs who also do the pose thing also twirl and spin their weapons, aka Fanghunt, Dieci, and Tingtang.

There's also the animations that make it seem like, just in general, he's not really fighting and moving more like he's doing some kind of performance. Yurodivy's acrobatic balancing act in S3 would count here, but so does the way Liu moves - the way he moves and balances around would be awful for actual combat, but would be perfect for a dance.

Hell, you could even count Hook into the above as well. While his main point of Performance is his cheeky mask slipdown and smirk in the evade, you could also argue him moving his arms around during S2 and S3 counts as unnecessary movements made just for the Performance of it all, as S1 shows he clearly has no need to move his actual arms to use his weapons.

What does this motif mean for Hong Lu? Well, it's quite simple, really.

He's an Actor, remember? A Liar.

Everything he does is to put on an Act, put on a Performance. The lies he tells, the mask he wears, hell his very identity is part of the Act. Every little part of Hong Lu, from the surface to his core, is a part of something fake, of something made up for the sake of being shown to the world around him instead of who he really is.

It also ties very neatly into the whole thing with so many of his IDs turning directly to the camera. Because the Act an Actor puts on can't exist if nobody is watching. A Performance necessitates an Audience. Of course he's so concerned with whatever attention may be on him, Hong Lu as a concept can't exist if nobody percieves him as such.

...

...If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that I haven't brought up the one ID that doesn't follow the pattern yet.

Can you guess which one it is?

I'm not even gonna let you actually guess because it's

FUCKING KUROKUMO HONG LU.

That's right, the ID that already breaks so many other patterns with Hong Lu IDs also happens to break this one as well. Kurokumo is the only Hong Lu that has no elements of Performance in his animations, and in fact he's potrayed to be fully focused on, you know, the actual fucking combat itself.

I swear that fucker is the bane of my existence.

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

pretty pleeeease tell me more about this and your ideas for a pjo show directed by you? 🥺💚💚

of courseee thanks for asking! most of the points were covered in OP's post but your ask has given me an opportunity to think more about it and expand it more so thanks again!!

(disclaimer: this is really long and I also wanted to say pjotv is a really good piece of cinema even though rick had no experience in film at all and if anyone doesn't agree about anything, don't be mean about it!!)

I mourned the breaking of the fourth wall in pjotv. when rick mentioned that the writing team were thinking of new ways to show percy's internal narration, I expected a LOT of fourth wall breaking. here is a few low effort doodles on how fourth wall breaking could work because I don't have coherent thoughts on describing it in words

When it comes to animation, ugh there are so much things I could say. imagine the funky expressions. Imagine the potential for it to look stunning like the animation for arcane and into the spiderverse. imagine the awards it could get for best animation.

Or i really really LOVE those little animations within live action like how the autumn leaves fly around Nick and charlie in heartstopper and it'd be really cute in pjo with,,like blue hearts from percy and grey hearts from annabeth ugh <3

I'm sure lot of people wouldn't agree but I felt there was wayy less of platonic percabeth in pjo tv s1. a lot of it was deep like all the sacrifices and all the romantic stares which everyone keeps making edits of and whatever. but there was no chance to show their proper development as friends. so in my pjotv there's mostly only platonic percabeth with the little sprinkle of hints of having a crush like how it is in the book.

There's full room for the show makers to do this in the coming seasons, but I love the idea of the characters starting out with a light palette (pale blues/greens for percy, for example) and then getting progressively darker and darker in colour (blacks/dark blues) throughout the seasons, because I love a good story told through fashion <3

No other changes to the plot except extra scenes for character development (sally/Poseidon/lil percy flashbacks), new character nuances (medusa/annabeth parallels aka the most genius thing to come out of pjotv).

speaking on the humour, I would trash seriousness and just give pjo lot of the elements of a sitcom. like you know how sometimes in between sitcoms they have little interviews where they reflect on what they're doing like

this also helps the internal narration aspect. bonus points if rick is the off screen interviewer

of course if it was animated, walker and leah could voice act, but it'd be weird for a black girl to voice a blonde white girl. but i really do love mixed canon annabeth and percy so the animated version of them would be annabeth with tinted blonde hair and well if you really like blonde percy we can have his blonde roots showing BUT ONLY IF WALKER AND LEAH ARE VOICE ACTING

THEME SONG!!! a banger with a silly montage that will send nostalgic memories rushing through your brain and make you sing along even after 10 years because ITS SUCH A CORE MEMORY

I don't know if you know the tlt musical but I would definitely make the campfire song from that as the pjotv campfire song and little good kid instrumentals here and there

also I forgot to mention you're the screenwriter because I really liked your screenplay that you posted

if you read this till the end, finley, honestly???congratulations!!

I've seen a handful of posts lately saying that the writers of IWTV have butchered Claudia's character and/or wrote her poorly, things of that ilk; lamenting how dirty she was done by the skill of the writers. Now that I'm all caught up and s2 is finished* [ sob ] I... Have some choice thoughts on this perspective.

Number one being that Claudia was explicitly doomed by the narrative the moment she'd been introduced to it. Her death is referenced but not outright stated initially, moreso implied, but the writing makes no mistake in telling us that Claudia, the Child Vampiress, will die. She's not potentially out there somewhere, she's not in hiding, she is dead, and she will never be able to tell us the whole of her truth beyond her diaries.

The second issue that the "IWTV Writers bad" crowd seems to forget is that, Even with the diaries, this is ultimately Louis' story, and the gaps in perspective are inevitably filled by him and eventually Armand, but never Claudia. She was disregarded because time and time again, Louis disregarded her for Lestat, and then for Armand; She was betrayed by the coven she professed her love for with a horrible, terrible, calculated eagerness because of Louis coming in and fucking with the coven dynamic; Regardless if that dynamic was healthy or not.

What Claudia and Louis had was precious, but it was also deeply, deeply flawed. He can effectively be blamed for her death, drawn all the way back to the riots incited by his choice to kill Fenwick; Was Louis justified in doing so? Yeah, abso-fucking-lutely, but this doesn't change the fact that his choices directly damned her to die.

Third is the claim that Claudia went from lethal and independent to desperate and weak? When? No?? Again I'm loosely paraphrasing some posts I've seen and attempting to take them in good faith; Claudia, from season one, was very interested in finding other Vampires, she was hellbent on it, and unfortunately it lead her to Bruce aka "The Motherfucker."

Her attempt to take Louis with her to Europe in s1 was in service of that goal. Claudia wanted to escape Lestat, she wanted to save Louis, and she wanted to find her people. She even tried to make her own Vampires despite being a fledgling! She has always wanted community, and I'd go as far as to say she was so strong because she could only rely on herself for so goddamn long, Louis being trapped under Lestat's thumb even after Lestat came crawling back in the later half of s1.

I understand that Claudia is a fan fave and people very rightly wished for her to live - the thing I have a gripe with is that some are taking this love for her and making it more important than the story itself. Interview With The Vampire is a tale of regret, trauma and abuse, a story of how memories are monsters and to be a Vampire is to be damned to the Odyssey of recollection, and if you don't survive, your memory will always inevitably be twisted over time. A life in eternity is a life full of pain.

The fact that people are so upset over the unfairness of her life is the intended effect; You are supposed to be upset that she is doomed, the writers of IWTV did a fucking fantastic job of making you feel that way - however, blaming the writers and crying "Bad writing" over the intended reaction feels just a tad silly to me.

As another post put it: Louis loved Claudia so much, but it was never enough. Everyone in Claudia's life except for Madeline betrayed her, her vampyric rebirth was the bandaid to a shitty vampyric marriage, she was denied her own life and Armand the Ancient fucking Coven Leader did nothing to save her; so much so that she was a goddamn Sacrifice so that Louis may live instead. Disregarded. Doomed. Damned. The injustice is meant to piss you off, I beg of those who think the Writers fucked up to simply sit with that feeling. Sit with the injustice. In the end, it's all any of us can do.

it was not finished oops* more opinions on the way

[ladyluscinia]

I know my last experience with a season ending on a note everyone hated and unanimously tore to fucking shreds for destroying the story on every level was... atypical. Lockdown. 6 month mass hysteria at minimum. Conspiracy theories that were, like, real things we had on camera. There was a Twitter wedding. Creative fervor that broke 100k fics on AO3.

Like. I know this is not a rational point of comparison and I'm not going to expect anything in my lifetime to match it 🤣

But.

If that was the highest high of post-season fandom engagement built on a cocktail of tasting everything you ever wanted AND the absolutely lethal levels of spite and swearing to eat showrunners' hearts in the marketplace, then whatever the fuck is going on after OFMD S2 is the opposite of that.

OFMD S1 was a huge fandom explosion. One silly little streaming show that had a gay kiss and then it skyrocketed. Fic numbers were soaring, high activity fic and meta engagement lasted for at least four months, it was constantly trending and flooding the dash... Like, fucking hell, over a year and a half after the immediate finale fervor it beat Stucky in the top ships bracket?!? To the point I was willing to give it what felt like due credit toward its potential as a future juggernaut ship. Not guaranteed, of course, but the potential was there.

In that context, new content should be a blow out party. Which it kinda was pulling off as it was airing, but looking back now? Not even quite a month later?

The effect of S2 on the fandom is like... a blip. Possibly over already.

New fic numbers started dropping off the moment the finale aired and have returned to deep hiatus levels. It's dropped off trending and streaming leaderboards... I'm very curious to see the first tumblr Week in Review since the finale, though we're still waiting due to the holiday.

Like, I've even popped on to scroll a few Izzy hater blogs that I know loved the finale out of morbid curiosity what they were up to, and I'm telling you... if I hadn't just watched the new season I'd think they were still over a year into hiatus. Saw some standard bitching about the izcourse / Edward takes (aka the one thing that kept them going all hiatus), they're currently passing around posts mocking one specific long OFMD version of TJLC I'm just hearing of, the same BTS gifsets everyone else is thrilled by... But barely any new meta or discussions. There's like 2 people posting actual analysis of S2 that's getting reblogged and they aren't even names I recognize from the hiatus. Nor is it particularly interesting to read. 🤷‍♀️

In July of 2022 I could pop onto a random OFMD blog and scroll through a dozen enthusiastic Stede or BlackBonnet metas about jacket colors or that moth from 1x07 or lighthouse symbolism or whatever. Now the new stuff has the same energy as posts from June 2023. It's borderline dead. And this is what it's like when there's an active campaign to engage fandom and Renew as a Crew?

(I will say fanartists are bringing some energy and there's some lovely pieces being passed around, which I do think the Renew as a Crew campaign is helping to boost?)

Even the hundreds of people saying it was a beautiful season and they loved it so much don't seem to be finding it a very engaging or inspiring season.

It's such a turn, like, what the fuck.

[fullscoreshenanigans]

Just curious but were there any other reasons besides them being 11, and Ray finding Emma's everything exhausting that caused him to be more teasing with her? (Aka him calling her and idiot, bonking her and what not in ss1)

At most I can see is that- much like Norman Ray also admired Emma. But unlike Norman, Ray who knew the truth, could only see Emma as this naive kid who he needs to protect. He might have been freaked out by her sunshiny personality lol. And maybe started to see her as dependable/ his equal after she saved him and they all escaped.

Explicitly stated reasons, no, but Emma is a very physically affectionate person, so in addition to this:

(Chapter 93)

I chalk it up to being a reciprocal thing, in a similar way to how Norman only shows his impish, calculating side to Ray at Grace Field. Each dynamic of the trio has their own rapport they've established.

(Love the little smile he gives them in "Touch off" mirroring the one he gives her in chapter 14)

Also going to cite this post by @lightningflash55 that I appreciate:

God, I love how when Emma’s a bit slower to pick up on something that Ray wants her to get he doesn’t crack jokes or get frustrated but instead calmly rephrases himself in a way she can understand?  Like he’ll tease her over silly things but when it comes to the important stuff he’s not the same, he’s really patient and gentle about it  --- #Ray is SOOOO good at gently prompting her to understand something or when trying to push her to follow her ideals #they just work so well as a team il their dynamic a lot #Ray for all the times he’s edgy and dramatic or easily gives up has EVEN MORE redeemable qualities #he’s such a good boy he truly is #and Emma’s also not dumb at all she just has a different way of thinking #so il that he recognizes this ugh just THESE KIDS

Ray always respected and valued Emma as an equal. Even if he found her naivety frustrating for how he saw it as actively working against her chances of survival beyond the wall

(Chapter 4)

she and Norman were both there to comfort him in any way they could, even when they couldn't understand what was upsetting their friend so badly and he couldn't articulate to them what was wrong.

(Chapter 181.1)

(2020 Exhibition Interview)

Ray believes if they can just get Emma to let go of this fantasy of taking everyone with her on the escape, she and Norman can make it in the outside world. He knows how capable they both are in their different methods of approaching things, has seen how well they complement and balance each other out. Norman will keep Emma grounded in the realm of possibility and temper her hopes, while Emma will push him to think beyond limitations and save him from completely succumbing to cynicism.

It's why he's so pissed and riddled with worry when Norman acknowledges his plan is more sound but actively chooses to follow Emma's anyway.

(S1 Episode 2)

After Grace Field and having her and Norman shift his entire world view, humbled isn't quite the right word since he was never haughty about this, but he was willing to trust Emma's methods more now that he knew hoping "for a future that is like a dream" wouldn't be another blow to his heart and that striving for an ideal was genuinely viable.

THE LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY ANTI-REVIEW, AKA: I WANT TO SCREAM. CAN I SCREAM. CAN I SCREAM REAL LOUD

well that was … depressing. might go and rewatch something from s1 or s4 or s5 or s8 or s10 to remember what good doctor who feels like. or listen to some big finish.

really thought that the VHS tape would be the truman show reveal. oh well. we all thought something. silly me, expecting complex postmodernist media critique from a disneyfied children’s show. this is my cue to go back to watching things intended for adults, i guess.

i’ll delve into why sutekh is a shitty villain to revive for the new era in my next post — this one’s just for moping.

when you’re autistic, realising that your special interest media will probably never be good again is like growing apart from a childhood friend. it’s a slow, nagging sense of grief and loss, however absurd that may sound. this show saved my life in november after i’d just dropped out of uni. that’s what i’ll remember it as. not… this marvel-ised lacklustre forgettable slop.

and please, don’t you dare put false words in my mouth. you all know how big of a doctor who fan i am. despite what the bigots, racists and homophobes say, it’s not the doctor being Black or openly queer or a woman that killed earnest enjoyment of the show. the openly progressive politics are actually one of the few remaining positives about it. no — what killed it is what killed every long lasting franchise: the inevitable enshittification of all mainstream tv, brought about by unregulated capitalism, a complete disregard for artistic expression in anything but independent/diy media. anything that’s funded by corpos such as disney inevitably turns into figurative capeshit (even if it’s not literally about superheroes, you know the semantic field i’m discussing when i bring up that word). not even a formerly brilliant screenwriter like russell t davies can avoid falling into the trap of becoming complacent. “family-friendly” suddenly means “safe, dull, predictable”. as if children’s minds can’t be challenged or unsettled. as if weird and outlandish art isn’t what children remember for their entire lives, forgetting the other, trite, generic TV they were shown.

casual audiences remember Blink long after watching it as kids because it was wild and experimental on a shoestring budget. it was like nothing else on TV. same with The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. the main issue with “series 1” (14) that i’m trying to express here is that, save two or three exceptions (73 Yards + to a lesser extent Boom and D&B), it is exactly like everything else on TV.

the only way out is to write our own worlds. fund them ourselves. cardboard, clingfilm and bubblewrap. that’s how doctor who used to be when it was funded by the BBC. that’s how it survived. whatever it’s trying to be now — well, that’s none of my business.

because business is all it’s become.

Writers Guild Presents - A Release of Tension

Written by niknak90 on our subreddit!

AKA I had the highly original idea of writing a story where Aziraphale gets off in Crowley's body during the body swap and then I wrote it like a woman possessed instead of any of my 24523847 WIPs. Thank you to betas u/fishey_me, u/badbitchbarenziah, and u/GlitteringRock1665 for lovingly tearing this apart and making my possessed writing more readable.

CW/TW-dubious consent, as Crowley doesn't know what Aziraphale is doing and Aziraphale feels guilty about this. Crowley will be okay with it when he finds out, but that doesn't happen in this part.

Other tags-Bodyswap, The Night in Crowley's Flat, Post s1, Light Angst, Pining

Excerpt

Once he’d seen Crowley off, Aziraphale sunk into the dark sheets of the large and luxurious bed and sighed, preparing to give this body the relief it so desperately needed.

“Oh dear. How long has it been since you tended to yourself?” Aziraphale whispered as he unbuttoned Crowley’s shirt, feeling gooseflesh form beneath his fingertips as he touched bare skin for the first time. Granted, the last few days had been a bit busy, what with averting the apocalypse and all, but Aziraphale hadn’t felt this pent up in his own body for quite  some time. 

Back when he first started sporting an Effort to avoid curious glances from humans, he’d tried ignoring the desire to touch said Effort for months, given its association with sinful human urges. Once he finally gave in, he felt so much better that it seemed silly to deny himself after that, indulging at least once a week. It wasn’t a lustful act to him. A sensual experience, a pleasurable sensation to be sure, but he’d never looked at a human with lust in his heart, so it was just mechanics, really. Surely Crowley would understand, would even appreciate the realignment of biological urges.

THE EYES. the eyessss

[xofemeraldstars]

I think the thing that really hurts is that they brought the invisible string/red string of fate theory into it by bringing in the Abby connection. We know damn well that Tim "I've never seen a series bible" got that from the fandom - he shared a video including it before they even started working on the season, months before (according to THR) he called Oliver up about it.

EXACTLY!! and idk about you anon but everyone I talked to about that being canon HATED IT!! it was always just a lil hee hee that's the same name!! that's the name of your future boyfriend buck!! no way did I ever want tim to fucking retcon what we knew in S1 about abby and her tommy aka they weren't engaged!! just for the sillies in 8x6 and what honestly now feels like a slap in the face to us about the invisible string theory and to tommy's character cause boohoo buck can only be the wet kicked puppy and everyone else has to wrong him even if it means invalidating everything else they have told us about tommy and bucktommy ON SCREEN just cause tim wanted it to HURT. it's simply fucking cruel the way they did that and the kekeing in interviews afterwards (not forgetting how fucking gleeful oliver was in interviews pre 8x6 💀)

I just finished your Magnum Opus, and it was super great. I especially loved the Pinkie chapter (which surprised me because she’s my least favorite character!). Anyway, do you have any mlp fic recommendations?

oh boy do i have a list for you, strap in!

if you read my magnum opus writeup, you may have seen i mentioned three authors that dragged me back into mlp. if you're interested in sciset (and what's probably the most popular eqg fic on the entire site), Long Road to Friendship by Albi is a longfic that started after the first eqg movie and is a rlly lighthearted read. i don't normally care for OCs but gosh if i dont accept Albi's version of trixie's parents as canon in my heart haha. if you're interested in pony adventure fic, i also rlly liked Sunset of Time, another rlly well done longfic ive carried in my brain since i first read it xd

the second author, Monochromatic, aka the raritwi authority aka someone who has a GREAT taste in editors, has written three of the most formative longfic ive ever read: The Enchanted Library, its sequel The Enchanted Kingdom, and Crimson Lips which i unfortunately can no longer link since she's taken it down, but i believe you can still buy physically through PFP if you wanted to take a gamble on it (it would be a very good gamble). apart from her longfic though i also adore some of her shorter works, including but not limited to The Choices We Make, a really interesting Pinkie study that's definitely shaped how i view her, Your Own Worst Enemy, which is just. peak rarity content, and Injuring Eternity, which while being one of her older works still has certain passages that wreck me emotionally on sight.

and the third author responsible for my magnum opus is the one and only Aragon, who i can not only recommend for his fics but ALSO for his blog posts and comics (see the comic index on his profile for links to all of them, as well as this amazing blogpost about his neighbour that is just peak comedy). he's also the writer responsible for the banger longfic Crime and Funishment which absolutely defined my writing aspirations for a few years and is the definition of comedy if you looked it up in my heart, as well as In Hindsight, yet another banger rarity fic, and Love Is In Doom which is just bloody, silly, stupid fun (and has sunset shimmer in it)

and then if we want to talk fics i love written by other authors, Sleepless Knights by r5h has my favourite brand of scitwi written right into the margins, Administrative Angel by horizon has one of the most amazing endings to an opening chapter ive ever read AND an amazing celestia, The Best Night Ever by Capn_Chryssalid is a fandom classic with a groundhog day twist on the gala episode from s1, Side by Side by Krickis is a feel-good rarijack oneshot w a focus on lgbt (specifically trans) themes, Wax Earplugs by Reedhoarse has a dysfunctional mess of an adagio dazzle that i adore, Merge Request by FanOfMostEverything has all the scitwi/midnight shenanigans you could ask for wrapped up in the relatable content of github hell, Guppy Love by PaulAsaran is a rarijack longfic with an incredibly realistic setting and an interpretation of mermaids that i love so much, Doused Flame by heartlessons has me handshaking on the "sopping wet pathetic relatable guy" flash sentry interpretation that won me over recently, 80 Days 'Til the World's Farthest Shore by Cynewulf feels like reading a professionally published short story (and i mean that in the best of ways, it's enthralling), and finally if you'll allow me to be self-centred a bit i also am very proud of my two oneshots Heartstrings and Something About Midnights if you wanted to check em out too xd

oops long post!! im not sorry for it, i hope you can find something in here that catches your fancy (or even all of it haha), there's soooo many incredible fics in the fandom it floors me every day that i can read all these incredible works for free!!!

Me: Yusaku's a very serious and no-nonsense kind of character, but he's not a stick-up-the-ass type. The only time he minds people getting silly around him (aka Ai) is when it disrupts his concentration or gets in the way of his work. Otherwise he just tunes it out. And especially with Ryoken he thinks of their relationship very seriously and wouldn't joke about it or make too many negative remarks if he didn't think they were contributing to anything. I really love his character and their dynamic, and I want to get both right in anything I write, for fun or for fic writing purposes.

Also me: Okay but it would be really funny if the inside of Yusaku's head after Ryoken skedaddles in the S1 finale as he stares after his boat basically looked like this;

After rewatching sonic prime alot of times i can finally give my honest reveal:

Season 3 really dissapointing

S1 and S2 were really great tho!

S1: "2nd fav. season" (don't got much to say abt it 🙃)

- sonic his charactertisation felt kinda weird, he ignored his friends and is impulsive to the max

- sonic realising what he has done was kinda sad

- nine was AWESOME

S2: "fav. season"

- i liked the aspect of sonic going on a chase through the shatterverse to collect the shards

- the pirates were ASSHOLES!

- forest part never got me hooked so much

- good fights not too many and the pace went well (for me)

- CHAOS SONIC THE SILLY ❤️

- i wanted more chaos sonic he was a dark mirror of sonic himself and it was really intersting

- Once again nine was a fucking badass

- the betrayel was executed well ig

Sonic was really ignorant to nine but nine got his own faults too

But the line: "like the real tails would, I am REAL!" was so raw and the pain i can only imagine nine felt in that moment...

S3: "least fav. season ofcourse"

- i enjoyed evil tails very much

- episode 1 was fantastic but shadow being pulled out of the picture was bullshit

I also wanted a longer reaction to the betrayel of nine, i saw a comic dub of sonic having a panic attack. Now i know that is far too many of emotions for sonic to be allowed, but atleast they could've showed some tears and panic

- the fight episodes got bland real fast.

Just fighting the same ol' robots again, they get defeated, nine repairs them, the same again

- i did like episode 6 tbh...

The fight of the iconic duo and later the iconic trio was my favo fight in the season

Beautifully crafted

- episode 7..... where to begin?

To begin with: nine his redemption was forced and executed garBAGE

Sonic just went from, this motherfucker needs to PAY for his action to, aw im sorry i saw 1 palmtree and i understand why you wanted to murder me.

Aside from that i almost liked the rest of ep7

The race against time with sonic to save him from certain death was really wholesome

The Amy's were fucking cute and knux carried my sonknux heart ❤️

Shadow rescuing sonic was beautiful and i LOVED it very much

BUT! sonic should've had more emotion to seeing his friend again.

That cliffhanger was totally unnecessary and we know now that is just a symbol for sonic and his friends running into a brand new adventure

Couple other notes:

- voice acting was fucking awesome!

@mactheactor killed it (i want him to be the main sonic tbh

he is up there in my top 3 VA for sonic with @snapscube sonic aka penny parker and jason griffith (1st: penny sonic, 2nd: devon sonic, 3d: jason sonic)

he got the cockiness and the teenager vibe of sonic like jason and ryan have for example

he has all the talent and passion, emotion for the voice and it felt like i actually heared sonic himself)

- animation was really good!

i am not trying to bring the series down!!

i am just saying my thoughts but the series is amazing and should definitely deserve a watch if you like sonic things or if you just like action or multiverse thingies

That was my review of sonic prime i love to hear yur opinions on my review and what you agree and dont with ❤️
