I've Done (almost) Nothing But Play Sonic Frontiers Since It Came Out. It's SO GOOD! I Beat It Today,

Guess who's the idiot teaching themselves three different languages at the same time?

Tis me!

ANOMALLY SPOTTED (and purchased) IN THE WILD

BIZZARE seeing this T H I N G in my local media store!

If one cannot tell, Dadvid is my life.

Ok, so I had a near-death experience at 4 AM this morning, (I nearly choked to death, -100/10 would not recommend,) and I nearly choked again just an hour or so ago? So yeah, I'm not gonna promise anything unless I'm SURE I'll survive.

Before anyone asks: I've been to the semi-emergency ward already, recieved medicine, and I'm taking said medicine. I just made the dumbass mistake of trying to hack up this goddamned mucus too soon.

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!

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

Finally! My markers get used after years of neglect!

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!

Starscream:

"MEGATRON HAS FALLEN! I; STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE DECEPTICONS!"

Thundercracker:

"Megatron has fallen. I; Thundercracker, must now call a medic."

Skywarp:

"MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!!! I; SKYWARP, NOW GET TO PLAY MATCH-MAKER!!!"

My first time ever drawing Nikki as a human!

And at least the 24th time drawing Gwen! Because Gwen’s hair is very fun to draw!

Seriously. I can’t stop drawing Gwen. Her fun-to-draw hair calls me.

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!
