MEU DEUS, ESSES SÃO OS MELHORES RENDERS EM 3D QUE EU JÁ VI!! 💖
Hope...betrayal...change...? One more month to SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS!
Artdump: even more cheeb
At some point I finally figured out uni-eye and changed the cheeb style.
I got bored in class a couple days ago and changed Cheen style again lol. And updated Sully.
At the moment this is the Robotnik family for Cheebaverse. (The metals in this au aren't based on Sonic, Knuckles or Tails. It's pretty much coincidence lol.)
Omega is an uncle now lol. Btw Sully is the collective uncle of the Cheebs.
My casting for sonic movie 3
you ever think about how much family drama rouge walked into during sonic adventure 2. she was just a government spy asked by the president to find info on project shadow but somehow winds up in space watching this dude’s grandfather’s execution tape like

More SONIC GALS!!X3
Well. Shadow’s family tree gets more interesting by the day.
been thinking about. writing a story of.. a possible au where the ARK is never raided: Maria and Gerald live..
one where shadow is.. tested and tested on to try and help her. drained of his longevity to try and aid her. and he does it, because she’s his everything!! but does he grow bitter, once he’s reduced to a suffering and helpless animal from giving her everything? where once maria is gone, he has nothing left. gerald continues to rip shadow apart in desperation to get her back. and gives up because shadow has nothing more to give.
maybe, another. where he does help her, where he isn’t abused and ripped apart. where they live happily, where she gets better and she can visit earth and their family. where shadow learns only kindness and diligence will help you. because he’s at her side.
what happens when she dies? does he become utterly hopeless, lost in a world that he no longer has a task to complete? or, does he strive to be even better. to help everyone. leading him to predate sonic in being a hero - possibly being someone who inspired sonic, drives him to do better!
does she? what if she got better, and he never left her side as she grew old. and no one ever knows who shadow was. he was just something from the ark, known not by name. she’s his everything, might he just rest beside her.
some possible ideas, if you want to see one of the other, you can request it in the comments. or have your own ideas! I have trouble making decisions, so i’d likely never write either.
YES! FINALLY! This is incorporated in almost all my works, even if Gerald's not even mentioned. I base it a lot on my family, and the mixed and complex feelings and hurt I have with them.
Take "I Hate You For What You Did" for example, being the most obvious, it talks about this exactly. (Selfless promo of my works lol) It is complicated; he was family, he was Shads creator, but he also took from Shad, and he probably experimented, worked, n traumatized Shad too.
I wish more people explored Shadow’s feelings on Gerald.
Because it does seem like Gerald thought of him as family. I don't believe that you can give someone a soul (especially not one that's a copy of someone else's, but however you look at that bit in Battle it's clear that he did want Shadow to grow up to be a good person, and he did genuinely believe Shadow would do the right thing when the Black Arms came back.
On the other hand, Gerald messed with his memories. That in and of itself is a complete violation of Shadow’s personal autonomy and was an attempt to take his choices away from him. Shadow could never bring himself to look past that because to him that is a sign that everything Gerald told him was a complete and utter lie, that he didn't actually care about him as anything other than a tool.
Saying Shadow would be happy if Maria came back to life would be the biggest understatement in the history of the world. If Gerald came back... I sincerely doubt Shadow would be anything but terrified of his creator because what if he tries to do it again?
Because what Gerald actually felt towards Shadow is irrelevant to Shadow himself. All he can think of are the actions Gerald took against him.
Shadow Has And Will Still Kill For Maria.
She’s His Everything! Think About It, All Of SA2 Is Basically About The Length’s Shadow Will Go For Maria, The Eclipse Canon Being A Good Example,
Yeah Gerald Messed With His Memories, But Can You Honest To Chaos Tell Me He Wouldn’t Try To Avenge Maria Anyway?
What Happened To Her Would Forever Change Him.
What Happened To Her Was Vile.
She Was His Sister, And G.U.N Killed Her.
She Was A Child, And G.U.N Decided To Kill Her.
That Being Said, He Promised Maria To Protect Earth, And I Don’t Think He’d Break That Promise.
Shadow’s A Complicated Character, His Story Is Tragic, Nobody Can Deny That, But There’s Something About Him Separates Him From Sonic: His Love For Maria! He Loves Her So Much, He’s Willing To Do ANYTHING For Her, Even Things That May Disappoint Her.

ok I didn’t really want to make another post about Dark Beginnings since I’ve already made/rebloged a lot of posts related to it but I now feel like doing it since I recently saw someone make a dumb comment about it (they were probably saying it to get attention and rage bait or something but whatever I feel like this is an interesting analysis to do)
“its been 50 years, she's gone, get over it”
There’s just a lot wrong with this take
For 50 of those years he was in a stasis sleep. So to him Maria’s death and the trauma he went through when it happened was pretty recent, I don’t really know how much time has past between sonic adventure 2 and sonic x shadow generations but I’m gonna assume it’s been a couple years (one thing I do want to mention that I feel is a important point is that professor Gerald altered Shadow’s memories after Maria’s death, so that itself is already pretty traumatic considering Shadow probably trusted him during his time living on the ark)
he is going to the ark AKA the place where he experienced his trauma. Now this is kinda based on something someone else said but supposedly the last time he went to the Ark was in the Shadow the Hedgehog game, and he still kinda lost some of his memories. Now he is going back to ark Ark after pretty much recovering all his memories, even his painful ones
he is going up against Black Doom. The main reason he is going back to the ark is because he suspects that the black arms and Black Doom have returned, now I haven’t played the Shadow the Hedgehog game but from what I heard Black Doom was a very evil character, he took advantage of Shadow since he lost his memories and used him to get the chaos emeralds. Not only that but technically Black Doom is Shadow’s biological father since he was created using his DNA (Shadow has never actually called Black Doom father, at least as far as I know). And finally
PEOPLE 👏 EXPERIENCE 👏 TRAUMA 👏 DIFFERENTLY 👏 Now I’m going get slightly personal but as someone who has experienced something traumatic before (not as bad as Shadow’s and it’s different from what happened to him) just because you have moved on doesn’t mean the trauma is just gone, honestly as I was reading some analysis on the episode I for a moment actually thought about what I’ve been through and realized I kinda related to shadow in that moment (which is probably one of the reasons I cried), while I have moved on from what happened the trauma is still there and I may have moments where I remember it and feel sad about it, that’s kinda what was happening with Shadow, he was being reminded of the trauma on a big scale. The first episode was him have a “nightmare” of his trauma and now he has to go back to the ark and face Black Doom, and those visions of him thinking about the life he and Maria could of have, of course he is gonna have a small panic attack, I’ve even seen some people connect the scene with PTSD.
a bit of a bonus but I wanted to link this tweet that kinda inspired me to make this analysis in the first place. Some of the comments under the post are quite interesting and make a few good points
now I do want to point out that I’m still new to the Sonic fandom so it’s possible that some of things I’ve mentioned might of been incorrect or that I might of missed a few important parts, if that is the case I do apologize (I also apologize if there are any grammatical errors as well, I literally made this whole thing at like 9:30pm so I should be in bed lol)
