continuation of this hehe
Shadow is somehow able to always be traumatized
Modern Shadow witnessed Maria's death and was manipulated by his father(s), Sir Lancelot went mad, Boom Shadow was under mind control (that HAS to have left some PTSD), and Movie Shadow was placed into stasis because he was "too valuable to destroy". What's next? What trauma is he going to experience next?
And that's not even COUNTING the possibility of new traumas, fanworks which can add to/introduce new ones, ANYTHING.
BIG, THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT
Doodle is a result of a convo I had with a friend btw. We both headcanon that Big always knows what to say and that’s why Shadow likes him 😌.
“You don’t have to be The Ultimate Lifeform all the time. Sometimes you can just be Shadow”
This post genuinely altered the trajectory of my life and how i make a lot of my decisions and i think about it so much
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN THIS POST!
the suffering never ends
TRANS BILL & TED! TRANS BILL & TED
last days of pride, just in time for Bill & Ted’s Most Genderous Adventure 🤘
- He’s the tallest member of the team - After being pinned under the girders during the fight with Corroder, his legs had to be remade. He is the only one that knows this. - Bulk likes to read whenever he can - He and Stringer tend to swap weapons during training - Bulk tends to put himself between a villain and a rookie, often acting as a shield. - All of his armor has more chips/scratching/dents than the rest of the Alpha 1 team's armor
The laugh NO ONE expects from the Ultimate Lifeform: The he he he laugh!
Got tagged here and on Twitter that clip compilation of Keanu and his he he he laugh
it’s interesting how.. on their own paul and marko are they own people (laid back weedie and rage filled goblin) but put them together and suddenly the entire room radiates small brain energy
Shadow is Rouge's n1 fan (and hater, currently)
+ Sonic is here literally just to be a little prick
This took so long @_@
OH YEAH, I FORGOT
If you choose to go with the idea that Sonic's counterpart is also King Arthur (the hedgehog, not illusion), then you could also draw up reasons for why he isn't the king in the game.
Mordred was prophesied to kill Arthur, so (as a baby), Mordred was sent on a ship that was supposed to be destroyed, killing everyone aboard it. However, Mordred survived and eventually made his way to Camelot, becoming a knight and usurping Arthur's throne temporarily.
For a parallel, perhaps the illusion Arthur's fate was to be killed by Arthur the hedgehog (and rightful king). In an attempt to escape his fate, he asked for all the hedgehog children to be sent on a boat that was supposed to crash, killing everyone on board, but Arthur ended up surviving, and once Sonic left, took the throne.
If there’s one thing I love in SatBK, it’s that DESPITE being crowned as King Arthur, he actually fills 2 roles (Arthur and Mordred).
Him filling Arthur’s role is PRETTY self explanatory. He’s crowned king at the end of the game, pulled the sword from the stone, leads the knights and kingdom, etc. But Mordred’s role is something ENTIRELY different.
First, Mordred and Sonic both doomed Camelot in different ways: Mordred with usurping Arthur and taking his throne, Sonic with giving the scabbard to Merlina resulted in the kingdom almost being destroyed. Mordred disregarded the code of Chivalry (Sonic does this out of overall disinterest and his morals, Mordred has more lustful habits and unchivalrous behaviors, which Sonic DOES NOT have).
Then, we have the more obvious parallels between them. Mordred killed Arthur, and Sonic did the same with the illusionary Arthur. Mordred used Clarent to kill him, a sword that Arthur used in ceremonies, and BEFORE getting Caliburn, the sword Sonic uses for Misty Lake’s tutorial levels is, in fact, Clarent as well.
This is all REALLY circumstantial, and of course it’s not 100% accurate, I just thought it was a really cool thing to mention.
But I also really want to know what this would mean for Merlina’s dialogue now. After all: “Arthur is struck down by his son Mordred, and departs for Avalon”, but if Sonic fills the roles of BOTH Arthur and Mordred, then Camelot’s ending plays out much differently.
