Because Then They'd Be Made Of CARBON!

I tried coding in renpy again after years and years of not doing anything with it, so I made a cheat sheet with everything I needed for a short test experience. I tried running it, and it screamed about the tag at the start of a colour code, so I removed it.

Then it screamed about the colour code.

I HAD HALF A DECILITER OF COFFEEE AND I AM FULL OF PRODUCTIVITY AND COULD FIGHT GOD

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!

REGARDING MY NEW NAME...

Is it Shadespear or Shadespear?

Either way it's MINE now!

Tried out https://acpatterns.com/ today, and let me tell you; I had fun! Oh, and my current hyperfixation is Transformers. So that’s nice, I guess.

Bushes. How and why. Never again. Bleh.

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...have a problem.

I'm alive. I'm still a bit sick. I'm tired. I'll go on that adventure when I'm compleatly sickness-free.

You know what? As soon as I'm no longer sick I'm gonna go on an ADVENTURE! Go outside, take some pictures, drink some tea, that kind of stuff!

That horrid MSPaint editing you see in the first picture is from me removing text about the changes I wanna make in the design. (For example, making Cogo look older, giving him the horrid haircut™, giving Djorgo wider shoulders, ECT.)

The lower image is just Cogo with the horrid haircut™ but longer.
