I'm Aware This Is Random Timing But I've Wanted To Analyze This Scene Ever Since I Saw It And I Was Rewatching

Two lovers have reincarnated throughout history, destined to find each other and fall in love all over again. There’s also this third guy that reincarnates alongside them… we don’t really know what he does.

They're idiots, your honor.

i'm going back to this moment with c!dream and c!techno and their discussion about church prime.

dream starts out by saying that he put the bell in church prime and techno questions whether or not dream can actually profit because he doesn't believe, calling dream a heretic and dream doesn't dispute the fact he doesn't believe. (which is interesting because it tells us two things 'primes' only go to believers and dream is not a believer, despite having seen a god with his face.)

what he does dispute, after a moment of thought, is the profit aspect, saying he might not believe but he's profiting off those that do. he even does a literal evil voice to say this. and techno's response is, 'but you're not', pointing out that everyone else is profiting off dream.

so, two things, right.

one, it's the hesitation and insistence at first from dream that he is, in fact, profiting off people complete with Villain Voice but when techno pushes the matter further, dream ends up relenting pretty quick and agreeing with techno that yeah, people are profiting off of him. both techno and dream have a history of backing down when the other says (techno at the green festival, for example) and it's interesting that dream seems intent to play this role right up until techno is like 'nah'.

two, techno says they're 'profiting off dream'. not that dream merely doesn't profit because he doesn't believe which would actually make a little more sense (because he's simply missing out on primes by not being a partner/believer). but no. techno says 'it's actually everyone else that's profiting off of you.' there's an implication of use that's really interesting to me because it won't be the last time that dream brings up people profiting off him going forward. he paints the torture as business. the fact he's alive at all is because people have something to gain from him. neither techno nor dream are wrong when they say people have profited off dream. and it's interesting and maybe a little more impactful coming from techno, someone else who has a history with being used by others.

just some thoughts.

wilbur, bringing in someone he trusts because they’re stronger than he is and he’s shit at pvp:

tommy, a 16 year old appreciating that in a war he has a reliable older figure to put his trust in:

c!techno: wow you guys only saw me as a weapon also trying to blow people up and never acting on it? fucked up man (scoots the times he actively shot at people, set withers on them, rains tnt on their homes and sicks dogs on them, not to mention the fact he was literally in on wilbur’s original plan to blow everyone up, he literally said he’d set off withers)

wilbur: yeah it was pretty horrible of me for planning it then regretting my actions and going back on them :( i definitely used you and it’s not at all reasonable to ask someone for help for someone stronger in the situation i was in :( it’s not like you didn’t give a shit about me as a person either and completely ignored my shit mental health and was completely on board with my actions until they reflected badly on you afterwards where you denounced me and said i was “evil” despite being just as willing to go along with the tnt plan but also doing far more damage than i did :( but no i said you were the traitor bc we’d planned for you to set off withers when i set off the tnt and lo and behold, there you were setting off withers like we’d planned so im 100 times worse than you :( 

Shadow beats up Tails in almost every sth iteration because he subconsciously has Prime’s Shadow knowledge of how dangerous he can become when pissed enough

No one knows where Sonic lives.

Even in his so called world renowed hero status, there’s way too little that the general public knows about Sonic The Hedgehog, sure, they know what his favorite food is, they know the names of his friends, and they know when his birthday is, but they don’t know where is he from, how is he so fast, or what is his reason to fight.

They know about most of the times he has saved the world, but they don’t know why his shoes don’t get burned by his speed, they know he can turn into a god-like glowy golden being, but they don’t know how exactly the magical jewels that do that work, they know he’s unstoppable, but they don’t know why.

Most people don’t care that much about that kind of information, even if he’s a hero, that’s his own business, even heroes need privacy; but then there’s the curiosity, the enigma, the mystery, most of those questions will be left without a solid answer, but there’s a few that should have definitive one.

Where does someone who can run around the whole globe in a matter of hours live? There’s a lot of theories.

Sonic has enough fame to have several fan clubs all around the world, and between all those fan clubs there’s been a lingering interest in the enigma of where does sonic live, between all the other questions this one is the one that gets the most possible answers, considering factors like his speed, his well known crave for adventure, his love for nature, all of it could make the difference between the right answer and the wrong answer.

At certain point, the curiosity reaches to more general public apart from the fanatism prone, and when in opportunity to talk to him, a lot of people start asking him the same question: “where do you live?” the answers all equal and all different at the same time “right here in the same world as you” “it varies from time to time” “I don’t think you could visit me”

The vagueness, the confusing contradictions, the evasion of the subject; he’s doing this on purpose. They might not know a lot about the blue speedster, but now this sole data needs to be known.

They start asking Sonic’s acquaintances instead of the hedgehog himself, they know they’re not getting an answer out of him at this point, and if anyone could have one, his friends should know it. Turns out that they don’t know.

Most of his friends being more annoyed with the fact that not even they know where he lives than about the people sticking their noses to his friend’s business was a surprise to the masses, and underwhelming, backtracking, frustrating surprise.

There’s an anonymous user online who affirms that not even the hedgehog’s arch nemesis knows where Sonic lives. Reliable sources support the statement.

The waters of nonsense gossip calm down after some time, but the question still remains, left to be more of general curiosity than lingering mystery.

A random day in a random town, a news program happens to be live outside when the speedster passes by and stops to smell the flowers around the area, the reporters ask him for a small interview, he says they have till he finishes picking up enough flowers for a crown.

They ask the same question everyone has asked for quite some time, just a different word, “Sonic, where is your home?”

Apparently the accidental rephrasing change is what finally gets it, as the speedster just says “right now? should be at mystic ruins”

He runs off immediately, the reporters left speechless, the program still on air on TV’s and the web, and the world going wild.

They finally got a straight, solid, specific answer. “That can’t be true” “but it can” “it’s logical” “it’s not” “he must’ve been joking” “he sounded serious” and more and more discussions take place around that single interview, the fan clubs are theorizing again, the general public is now more curious, and the official news from all over the globe need to confirm this by themselves.

So they ask again.

A full week later, a different city in a different country, different news reporters don’t even bother to ask him for an interview, they just run to him the moment they see the blue blur pass by and ask him again “Sonic, where is your home?!” He yells his answer without stopping:

“Last time I checked was in Central City”.

“It’s a contradiction” “then he was joking before” “he might change where he lives weekly” “we need more proof” “that was way too specific again”.

A different continent, two days later, a group of kids manage to record him when he greets them from the other side of a mountain, they ask “Where is your home?!” He yells back “I’m not sure at the moment!”

The confusion only grows, now no one knows if he’s genuinely giving true answers or full ass lying, it would be logical for him to do either. The curiosity becomes a mystery again, and people are legitimately trying to track all the locations he has mentioned to find out what is this all about. Some people even try to track him down. They try.

A whole month later, there’s a celebration near sunset city, a commemoration of some sorts, there’s been a lot of battles in way too little time so people just try to think about the party rather than the motive for it. Sonic attends the celebration along some of his friends.

A local news channel manages to reach him at the chili dog stand where he is waiting for his food while talking to the two tailed fox everyone knows is his best friend. They don’t mean to interrupt, but these opportunities are limited.

They ask the same question, the same word change that they know works: “Sonic, where is your home?”

The blue blur hangs an arm around the kit’s shoulder in a half hug as he grins widely, he says loudly: “right now, it’s right here!”

This time his home was with him.

team sonic and team dark end up on the same place for different missions, everyone gets separated and tails and shadow end up together. shadow threatens the bad guys with his handgun and tails gives him the most disappointed 8 yo look he can muster and goes, "really? can that toy even harm a chao??" to which shadow replies, "you got any better ideas fox boy?" and tails just pulls out a really bright yellow n cyan coloured missile launcher twice his size out of nowhere and says, "yea."

idk
