Hey, has it ever clicked for anyone that Sonic is literally a child? I know some people usually go "teenagers aren't kids, they're basicly younger grown-ups!" But like, that's absolutly not true? Teenagers ARE kids! They're older, they're on the road of BECOMING adults, but they AREN'T!
The point being, I can't even IMAGINE what kind of messed up trauma riddled mind Sonic has at this point. Just- the childhood trauma I've had has been enough to eff me up real bad, imagine what all the stuff SONIC has been through has done to him!
And I know; I know that Japan has a thing with idolizing children that behave maturely and/or takes on a bunch of responsibility, but still! He's been 15 years old for, what, 20 years? And he's been through hell and back and fought several gods and always been the one to stand strong and never give up! Imagine the mental and emotional toll!
As a kid I always thought "wow! Sonic is so cool and mature!" And now as a 21 year old I just get an intense parental need to just- get him therapy and protect him from the world. It's kinda scary how many emotions and instincts media can trigger, actually!
And I know that it'd be pointless to protect him from a lore standpoint; he's more powerful than some human nobody ever would be, but I just-
He's 15 YEARS OLD you guys!
A kid!
And that realisation hit me like a freight train a couple of months ago, and it re-hit me after playing Sonic Frontiers!
I just-
Starzinger-
favourite anime-
I like re-designing things.
Great minds think alike!
Good evening i'm doing this for an in-game achievement
Update:
The physics gods finaly granted me mercy! I hope I won't need it for Ares Island...
I agree! That would be pretty neat, especially since the old fans are, well, old now! It's about time the eternally young children grew up a little - even if just a little! It would make things far more interesting than just a minor ""passing on the torch"" thing! I just hope they actually go through with what they started inatead of reseting everything again...
I also hope they acknowledge the whole age thing at some point...like, how old are they now? Are any of them getting any therapy? Or joining a support group? Or getting parental figures in their lives? I need answers!

Me: *Writes something*
Me: "No. Nope. That's not funny. Delete it."
Also me: *Writes and posts this*
Tis me!
Learning two languages at once without a teacher and nobody who speaks the language to talk to is an excellent idea.
Case in point, I know about 50+ words of mandarin chinese but I can't pronounce any of it and now I'm also learning french. ...But french is more similar to my second accent so that's not so bad.
I found some drawings from months ago that I forgot to post. So why not post them now while I remember it?
Lookth at me I does copy-pathe! Bluh bluh bluh...
But yeah. I did use copy-paste. But, hey! I’m at least transparent about it! Good for me!
