Telltale Sam And Max

Maybe I’m reading too deep into Sam and Max’s codependency, but did anyone else ever realize that Sam and Max gauge each other’s emotional responses to a situation and (often) use said emotional response to mirror that to their own responses? I’m not sure if that makes sense, but here’s the best example I have on hand:

Scenes from 103: Casino explosion.

SC1: Happy, looking to Sam for his reaction (given we can’t see it, but we can safely infer it’s the same as we see it in other frames).

SC2: Quickly gauged, realizing Sam’s not too jovial about this and mirroring that to his own reaction.

SC3: Panicked, almost? Remains that way until they are outside the casino.

I’m probably overanalyzing their codependency, given how usually lighthearted the franchise is (cough…301-305…). I have so many other analyses regarding this duo that I need to figure out how to write out in a way that makes sense, because I feel like the psychological part of this community might enjoy them. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

This is just a warm up post so y’all know what you’re getting into…

on better news, sam and max got together in a funny way

anyway happy pride

So I made something (Part Three-Sonic Boom).

You fool. You will never get away from me and my "not-so-sure-accurate" charts for Sonic Boom.

Don't worry, you will.

None of them are chill, you know. Everyone has a temper.

Shadow and Sticks should be friends. Change my mind.

I headcanon Shadow to be a little shy and socially awkward when someone he doesn't know compliments him or if the compliment is pretty nice for him. Otherwise, he will answer "Whatever".

Me making references to the Sonic Twitter Takeovers? It's more common than you think. Oh, and you can't convince me that Sonic doesn't trait Tails gentler than everyone else? Kid jumped into his arms every time a lightning appears, and Sonic simply will hold or carry him. Those brothers are gonna be the end of me.

Additionally: Is the alien: Shadow.

Ugh, Amy. Why do you have to be that nice in the series?

Oh, look. It's Lyric. Not so sure if I'm will use him again.

Im probably looking too deep into this scene and reaching for thin air but does this feel like Strong Bad projecting onto the bag of pudding to anybody else or am i just too wrapped up in my middle child syndrome sb headcanon for my own good

Medibang crashed three times while I tried to draw this...

I was gonna add color too TwT

(This was made before my style change-)

I think I need help

I think it's funny that folks are commenting NOW that Rayman's got a bit of a belly like it wasn't already revealed that he had one in Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

DO YOU NOT SEE HIS CHEST SINK INTO HIS GUT!? HE HAD THAT GOING ON BEFORE CAPTAIN LASERHAWK HAPPENED!
