To cope with the ending of Dark Beginnings, I want focus a little on Shadow sticking up for Sonic whenever he can in Sonic Prime. A small detail I loved in Grim Tidings is that while they were both trying to escape the decaying Ghost Hill it was Shadow repeatedly boosting Sonic first before following after him. This could be because Shadow can fly so it'd be easier for him to clear the distances himself without help, but I like to also think of it as another subtle show of Shadow's care and consideration for Sonic and his safety, and how he prioritises it over his own first and foremost. Same thing with when they were fighting Nine's robots; despite being occupied with fighting as well, he still tries to keep an eye on Sonic just in case he needs immediate support and rushes over to defend him asap. Shadow's protective instincts kicking in for Sonic will never not be sweet to me.

Getting Shinji Ikari’s character is such a visceral punch because he’s an abuse victim who jumps hoops to make people happy. The act of practical back breaking is less about martyrdom aka Doing This for the Good of Man and more of not making the other person mad. Walking on eggshells or a game of emotional minesweeper? It comes at the cost of your happiness, but when you’re abused and your suitcase is mostly filled with others’ baggage, it’s hard to tell your happiness from others.

yeah yeah trick weekes says whatever about it not making sense that solas couldnt sneak off THEY FAILED TO CONSIDER that maybe he just is ass at it when he gets invested. much like. the whole fucking rest of the romance where he COMPLETELY fails to resist until the breakup.

anyway.

im personally of the opinion that he's more liable to slip up - fail at sneaking, accidentally reveal details, contradict himself - when he actually makes bonds with people. which is why after trespasser he goes and lives alone in the lighthouse for ten years but i digress.

and i think "that", the bonds tripping him up, should be reflected in his exit from the Inquisition. you're enemies or neutral, yeah he just vanishes. there's nothing to keep him there, nothing to interfere with his plans and intentions. you're (ex)lovers? i think he still would pull back purposefully and probably vanish, but there would be definite hesitation. he would have to force himself to do so, because fuck, he wants to stay. he wants to be close to you. but he also, crucially, knows that you have a dangerous sway over him, so he MUST disengage. if you're friends, it takes him some effort. because he does like you, he doesn't want to do what he has to, it's been so long since he had people who were friends to him, and he doesn't have to force himself away because he's in too deep. he knows you would worry about him. he might not be willing to give anyone the truth - but he would owe you a goodbye, at the very least. especially if you weren't the type to try to convince him to stay.

Honest to God, Communalist's turn to the dark side is still one of my favorite moments in any piece of Internet media. They finally made a friend outside of the Anti-Realists, someone who understood them in a way the other Anti-Realists never could, and then one of them shows up, stabs Moralist in the back, and starts laughing about it, like it's some sort of joke. The death of their new friend at the hands of someone they thought was a friend utterly shatters their worldview, and they lose it.

CultCom is probably one of the most unsettling characters in a series where the main cast includes a murderhobo and the embodiment of the Party from 1984, and it's entirely due to how we saw what they were like before all of this went down. It's such a drastic shift, and yet it makes sense in context. Their ideology technically didn't even change, just their view of who deserves to live in their perfect society.

And then there's the fact that you can view the entire sequence from a metaphorical perspective, and it somehow makes it worse. Darwinist represents essentially a breakdown of society, where the strong prey on the weak and powerless, and a return to the "natural" order of things. Moralist represents morality, a largely human construct that is exceptionally fragile and prone to bending, and Communalist represents pure altruism. If you frame it like that, Darwinist killing Moralist comes off as not just him killing one of the few actually decent people in the series, but as human nature triumphing over morality, as it always does and as it always will. And then this corrupts altruism and turns it into tribalism (CultCom); the basic tenets of altruism are still there, helping others and being kind, but now it only applies to us, not them. They do not deserve that help, they do not deserve that kindness, because they are not us, and that makes them dangerous.

Fuuuuck, I miss Realicide.

It's sad that after all that's happened (and even after he said he'd rather die than turn to Zeus for help) Apollo still prays to his father first when faced with immediate danger
