IT'S WHOLESOME SONIC & TAILS WEDNESDAY!!!

Therefore, I'm going to dump a tiny theory/headcanon about a brief moment in a Sonic Boom episode for y'all

Episode 2, "Can an Evil Genius Crash on your Couch for a Few Days?" starts with a thunderstorm. We know Sonic has his own shack. And yet?

Sonic is sleeping over at Tails' house.

What's one thing we all know about Tails? He's terrified of thunder and lightning. And every time this is shown, whether in Boom or elsewhere in the franchise, he always either clings to Sonic immediately or jumps into his arms in fright.

Here's the headcanon about this scene: Tails had trouble sleeping because of the storm, so Sonic came over to help him feel better and ended up spending the night. 🥰

He continued to stay there for the rest of the episode/the next few days, but that's probably because he didn't like the idea of Tails being left alone with Eggman. More protective older brother vibes. 💞

It's sweet :')

there is a certain type of loneliness that envelops all of totk's hyrule.

some people recognize us and others act as if they'd never met us in the first place.

the house in hateno is zelda's now, not a trace of us left within its walls. (not a trace of the displayed weapons that once belonged to the companions that haunted us.)

our loyal horse is still the same, though it lacks it's old equipment. the old riding trails are interrupted by fallen debris and more than once we had to take long detours to find out footing.

i found our old hair tie, but I can't bear to wear it. we're not the champion anymore.

it feels as though we are a ghost on familiar streets with a fleeting touch that will never last.

The fact that the chaos emerald and almost Shadow fell into the darkness and the sole existence of it strongly foreshadows that its going to play a bigger role in the story.

What I’m guessing is that at some point sb definitely going in it. Im betting on Sonic himself. Since he was ready to risk falling in it to save Shadow he’s capable of doing it again. The next time though he’s probably going to take it to an extreme and wont get off so easy, maybe even temporarily sacrificing himself in order to save his friends and/or world(a nice parallel to Shadow doing so in sa2)

I can imagine a scenario where this time its Shadow that tries to stop/save Sonic but fails(again a parallel to sa2)

Its probably also going to be used to ultimately beat the chaos council or some other villain but thats not nearly as interesting

I had to leave Twitter for a while. Hopefully, the rate limit will be removed.

Anyway, I'm going to try and be more active on here, so hopefully, some of my mutuals will be on here

I just need more SoRiku in my Tumblr TL

SONIC PRIME SEASON 2 EDIT (SPOILERS)

AAAAAACCCKKK SEASON 2 EPISODE ONE IS OUT AND IT HAS THIS GREAT CALLBACK TO SONIC ADVENTURE 2 AND IT'S AMAZING!!!!

Why do people think that Shadow's going to beat up Sonic after the most recent episode. just because he was proven right?? Do we think he wanted to be proven right???

Shadow had ample reasoning to stay back at the cave and keep an eye on Nine. He doesn't trust him, doesn't think he should even be left alone with the shards, and he's certainly stubborn enough in this opinion to stand guard. But he decided to leave him alone anyway.

In a practical sense, it's probably because he knows that the Chaos Council is the more immediate threat, and that they'll buy more time if he works with Sonic instead of against him. But think about it; he never even goes to check on Nine until the SECOND explosion. Why?

I do think it's possible that I'm wrong about this, but my first thought was that this was actually a show of trust from Shadow. He lets himself trust Sonic's judgement just this once, because there's a viable reason for him to go along with it - Nine is the most qualified to handle the shards, and Sonic does need his help on the battlefield.

Shadow expects the worst, sure. But his behavior suggests to me that he's hoping for the best, deep down, and that's important because it means that it wasn't just Sonic's trust that Nine betrayed.

And I mean. just look at how the scene plays out when he gets there:

Shadow sees Sonic trying to plead with Nine, who scoffs at the idea of trusting him before leaving with the Shards. It's only once he's gone that we get this shot of Shadow looking ticked off, and while it's hard to tell, I don't think he's supposed to be looking at Sonic here.

If he was, I think his head and/or eyes would be tilted down more, given where Sonic is in relation to him. But as it is, I'm inclined to think that he's more angry about the shards being taken away than he is at Sonic specifically.

And even if he does have a moment where he gets mad at him, how long can we really expect that to last when it's implied that Sonic was on the verge of tears after this? It's a little hard to tell, but he brings his hands up to his eyes right before the screen fades to black, so even if he's not crying, he's clearly not okay.

I don't think Shadow is mean enough to fight Sonic right now, because as previously established, he loses a lot of steam whenever Sonic starts looking sad, and doesn't gain anything from fighting him like that. If anything, I imagine he'd try to practically drag Sonic out of his slump to deal with practical issues instead of letting him wallow in his feelings for much longer.

There's no telling how effective that would be, but I think it's a more likely first attempt for him than just smacking Sonic around and adding injury to insult. I know we love to see Shadow pick fights and all but give him a little credit
