STOBOTNIK NATION HOW...sniff...HOW WE...FEELING.............
okay uh. several fics I have to start writing:
sonic awkwardly trying to talk to tom about the idea of adopting shadow and then very quickly realizing that tom is not going to be the difficult one to bring around on the idea
shadow finding stone, attempting to apologize (he has probably never apologized his whole life so it will be awkward) (stone will fully 100% understand what he's trying to say), and then Being Alone Together
I'm sure I will come up with more jesus fuckchrist just hhhhhhh
I'm not surprised by amy, and god damn she did look incredibly cute. I just don't really Care about her but maybe the movies will make me care! I mean, frontiers is the best she's ever been, they can do something with her
but those metal sonics looked so good
EVERYTHING IN THIS MOVIE LOOKED SO GOOD
sonic and shadow had their first date on the moon
the very nanosecond maria was on the screen you were instantly endeared and she's perfect
the fucking actual bits of game music
robotnik still could have been warped out of there by shadow if they really wanted to leave it open ended but I feel like this might be it-it
the fucking RINGS that he TOOK OFF he TOOK OFF THE INHIBITOR RINGS for the cannon fight i'm SCREAM
the fuckin meteor he came down in def looked doom-y and they left his entire origin a complete mystery in case they ever somehow wanna dip their toes into that mess
I want an entire movie of shadow and stone watching telenovelas and making revenge guac
bff and I gasping when stone dumped the digital lattes. god.
it also feels like such a shame bff and i went through so much effort to get dressed up, and makeup included, only for there not to be a lot of people. but it was a late show. but also I don't wanna wipe it off??
but it'll smudge and smear if I don't at least make an attempt to get most of it off....sigh...
I'm gonna listen to this soundtrack so hard tomorrow after work
god that movie moved fast. it actually probably could've used a little slowing down actually
like I mean okay yes of course I love shadow I love how his eyes change shape when he gets softer and I'm a sucker for anyone who's GO ON DO IT BECOME LIKE ME AND KILL ME, I do love me a keanuhog
but naturally my everything is vibrating about stone
but I'm also vibrating about EVERYTHING
I did not notice the eyes changing shape when he softened up
(and tbh I think there's at least 40 minutes of footage on the cutting room floor and half of it is from the first 3rd)
but holy fuck this was great
(the fic I'm writing is definitely temporary amnesiac Shadow winding up in San Francisco and getting adopted by Jojo while he tries to figure out who he is)
(because we were so fucking sure Jojo was going to play a part in this movie and then nah)
CAN WE FUCKING TALK ABOUT "YOU'RE NO MARIA"
WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW FUCKED UP AND RAW AND FUCKEDUP THAT WAS
okay as I consider lyrics of songs for shadow usernames so that I don't resort to a super silly one:
the song during the shadria friendship montage is anachronistic, that's from gd 1989. they do use a beach boys song in the movie and that one would be more era appropriate lol
it's got some okay lyrics but the beach boys song lyrics work better lol, that might've been the song for the robotnik fam montage tho I don't remember off the dome
I might just go with silly username
or something Thematically Appropriate like. idk diamond eyes or something
okay also: listen I get we gonna play fast and loose with the timeline, technically we're led to believe GUN was created between the first two movies but it's actually existed for decades, look, I don't have a problem with it. it's a little silly but since when does sonic take its own canon and timeline that seriously
thing one: are we supposed to believe all these events happen in a single year? like. sure I guess but also it seemed very much like each movie was happening the year it came out but we also can figure out that's obviously not the case unless these goobers just don't age (and they're alien, y'know, they might not)-
thing two: setting 3 very deliberately and specifically in 2024 is therefore an interesting move
thing three: I have been trying so hard to figure out why gun was going to take shadow away
bc he's already in a gun facility
the base was a gun base
he's already under gun custody
like. where the fuck they think they taking him??
diamondstars as a username maybe...hrm..
I'm gonna sit in my feels about but I won't be there to protect you for forever
my thoughts on GUN taking Shadow essentially boil down to "playing house with a teenage girl is interfering with their timetable and results"
Maria is there because Gerald is Good Enough to essentially have her as part of his rider, but that goes out the window when she's actively interfering with their experiments - better to move Shadow someplace else and sacrifice Gerald's involvement to get rid of Maria's interference
can't believe how many 'shadow reluctantly lets stone adopt him' fics I'm gonna need to write and also read in my life...
also god bless they didn't give stone a first name
revengeguac for the username lmao
I still feel like 'no but there must be a BETTER name out there...!'
but lbh at the end of the day if it's still available...
He said that line and I went “THATS the gd ONE”
I mean I already did rockconnaissance so..........
I'm so glad they let him be a little silly
even if he wasn't intending to be silly
she SHOULD end both of them, you're right shadow, she ISN'T a prize to be won. shadow said women's rights.
ivo also says trans rights just in not so many words
he acknowledges all possible genders
insert the knuckles pronouns comic here etc
