I have a joke that I can't tell because I just can't make the words go.
The setup is that Gwen says she's gonna dress up as Satan, and the punchline is that she dresses up as Max.
Woah, wait- they did WHAT?!
For real?! That's odd! Are they changing things, planning on changing things, or is something else entirely going on?
I think I smell either a conspiracy or a change to the lore! Not sure which would be better...then again, Sonic does sound older...I thought it was because he finally hit puberty, but maybe they've aged him up? He'd still be too young for this stuff even if they made him 20 tbh...
Gah! I don't know! What's even happening anymore?!
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 HAVE HIM
Me: *Writes something*
Me: "No. Nope. That's not funny. Delete it."
Also me: *Writes and posts this*
I couldn't decide which one was best...so I posted eight of them. Eight out of TWENTY eight, if I may add. (I had a lot of fun with the texture, in case you couldn't tell.)
[[I can't belive I forgot to mention this but I accidentaly drew his hands - or servos if you're a dork like me - the wrong way! The left servo is on his right arm and the right servo is on his LEFT arm! And I call myself a Hobbyist Draw-things Person?! DISGRACEFUL!]]
I just got a small wound on my cheek that was dripping with blood, and my morbidly artistic ass thought it was a perfect time to observe the colour and shape of said dripping blood.
While on the topic, the small amounts of blood dripping down my face felt kinda cold on my skin. So that's...interesting?
I did not want bot-follows for my birthday.
