Ok so there's something that's been bugging me for a while and. I need answers

So the fandom wiki page for Sonic the Werehog (the first one that usually appears in search results right now) says that Sonic's transformation into the Werehog is caused by Sonic absorbing negative energy from the Chaos Emeralds

Their source for this is the game manual for the Xbox 360 version of the game, which say almost the same thing

However.

The game itself has. No indication of this being the case. Like AT ALL. If anything it HEAVILY implies Dark Gaia Energy is the real cause

The opening cutscene doesn't show any negative energy from the Chaos Emeralds being absorbed by Sonic (at least, that's not what it looks like to me). It actually looks like the energy being DRAINED from both Sonic and the Emeralds, being syphoned into the canon and then shot out at the planet

Not only that, but the transformation begins only AFTER the world is shattered and Dark Gaia is released, and Sonic's movement even mirrors DG's in this scene. And that's only the small details, ignoring the obvious things like Sonic only transforming at night when DG becomes active and its energy begins affecting people, and the transformations only stopping because DG took back that energy

If negative Chaos Energy WAS the real cause, then why would DG take back energy that doesn't belong to it? Why would it be the thing that makes it whole (or "Perfect") again? Why would Sonic's transformations after the first cutscene have the same purple smoke seen in the DG minions and in people who've been possesed by them? Why haven't we seen this transformation again after Dark Gaia was sealed if it wasn't tied to it?

It just doesn't make sense to me

I haven't looked into other versions of the manual or different translations or anything so I don't even know if this is in all of them, or if it's a mistranslation or something. If it is, it wouldn't be the first time there was an error with a Sonic game manual (the famous "Eggman is a feminist" thing from the Heroes manual was a mistranslation I believe. There were other errors but I can't remember them rn)

So yeah now I'm just confused. Is it Chaos Energy? Dark Gaia Energy?? Some secret third thing???

The background is black with a bright green vertical shape to contrast the character in front. The Rahkshi is holding its spear in its right limb, propping its body up with it as it holds its face close to the ground. It is rendered as a black metallic material with red eyes. Its hunched shape and angular spines stand out harshly against the green background. End Image Description.]

I got a rahkshi recently and wanted to draw it so here's this - kind of an experiment with studying a real life object and how to pose it into a interesting composition and then replicating the lighting I got tired of rendering this partway through however :P

I feel like I'm digging myself deep into a hole and finding nothing, trying to figure out more about In-ho's family

[youngyoo-apologist]

I think my least favorite thing ever of all time is when I’m reading a fanfic and Basen and Lily are villains like NO my children would NEVER

It’s usually the case in OG Cale fanfic, now don’t get me wrong I love the guy but also his family was not all horrible, and Basen and Lily were NEVERRRR at fault. Lily is literally like, seven years old and Basen is fifteen neither of them hate their brother either. Any child wouldn’t know how to approach their older brother who doesn’t talk to them and is distant(+ is known for having a bad personality) like that isn’t their fault 😭😭

OG Cale distanced himself from his siblings to protect them, there’s no one to fault in this situation for things turning out this way because it happened due to so many combining circumstances. Like IDK! I just don’t like it when Lily and Basen are treated like bad people cause I just find it a bit ridiculous.

Basen and Lily could’ve tried talking to OG Cale, but the real question is if he would let them talk to him ykwim, his act was perfect with literally no flaws. The reason it worked so well was because no one KNEW him and he probably knew that part too. The sadness to their situation is that they all had their reasons and cared for eachother but there wasn’t really any communication

Tbh it should have been Deruth’s job to ask Cale what was wrong, he’s not like the worst father ever okay but he also has extreme communication issues! The Henituse’s middle name is practically ‘communication issues’ like none of them are very good at it I fear. Deruth clearly cares for his son a lot, but he doesn’t know how to approach Cale possibly out of guilt/fear he’ll hurt his son even more. Which is why he just let’s Cale do what he wants

I think it’s important to note that the family did have faith in Cale, they all knew he wasn’t a bad person but they were all just so distant from eachother. I don’t think Deruth would have offered KRS!Cale to go to the capital after like a weeks worth of changed behavior unless he knew that there was more to his son than what the public thought. Again I think the big issue with the Henituse family is their communication

The characters all have complicated dynamics and personalities and it’s just something I don’t like when everything is treated very one dimensional

hello!! how are you? so i was going through the lop fandom wiki and in P and sophia's pages i stumbled upon a mention of them sharing the same birthdate (april 2nd) in their trivia pages. now i know everyone can write anything in these wikis so they are not always reliable and i can't seem to remember the mention of it anywhere in the game but because you share side content like interviews and stuff (thank you so much btw) i was wondering if you might happen to have any idea where that info came from?

Hi!! I'm doing good. tga was pretty fun! and Thank you for the ask! To be honest, I don't recall anything like an April 2nd, or a shared birthdate, mentioned by the devs or in interviews. That is really baffling.

I don't see anything like that on fextralife (who have apparently been criticized heavily for inaccuracies in the past...) or on namu.wiki either. So that is very interesting. I don't know where it might have originated.

I thought maybe in the original pinocchio?? or the OUAT series?? But I don't recall an april 2nd there, either.

"sorry for such a long video" its 16 minutes. i could talk for 16 minutes about marshall maximizer without a script or checking my notes. hand me the fucking song

Genuinely starting to think whoever was in charge of the Once Upon a Time timeline quit after season 5.

”Kasper/Infected” NOOOOOOOOO. THEY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Yes, they share the same body, but not the same mind. Kasper is BEFOREEEEE the infection and BEFOREEEE unpleasant and BEFOREEEEEE Poptart dead. BEFORE THE INFECTION. Infected is POST let me repeat that POST infection. Poptart is dead, unpleasant is there, and HE DOESNT REMEMBER ANYTHING. KASOER AND INFECTED ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON BECAUSE INFECTED DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHO KASPER IS. YES they might be similar YES they share a body, but the names are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. They are different people entirely.

[lesbiangiratina]

Trying. Fighting. To put together a missing link testament quote list. Its super fun because all 3 lists i know of have something wrong with them. But 1 of the lists says that 1 of their damage lines is 馬鹿な. Baka na. Thats also 1 of their damage lines in ggx. They reuse a lot of their ml lines in ggx so im willing to believe it but oh my god how did you get that from this fucking audio.

I assume they only got it since its a ggx voice line too. Because this sucks. Their missing link voice is so cute but like this sucks.

also on another note i just read through the cp2077 endings i didn't get the chance to play yet and i do think the tower ending is one of the worst endings to pick in terms of what it means for a very self-reliant and anti-corpo V (and maybe this has been discussed and disCOURSED to death already, but i had the tags blacklisted for years so i'm just adding my thoughts to the void). under the cut because i get ranty lately for some reason.

so you survive the relic. but as a tradeoff you can't keep your cyberware. on your way there you pissed off just about every faction there is to be found in night city for one reason or another. there is no surviving a city full of mercs and gangs decked out with cyberware when you don't have cyberware yourself. maxtac is gonna wipe the floor with your innards if you ever cross them. viktor says the FIA doctors are wrong, so let's put a pin in this i'm not done yet.

you hand songbird back over to reed. you lose each and every friend you've had in this city except for vick and misty who realistically can't protect you from any threats that might be headed your way, and there's mitch when you call panam, but realistically he's also too far away to help you immediately. kerry, the only one who's willing to catch back up with you is currently in space and won't be back in a while.

and sure you can say the FIA looks out for you, but let's loop back around to what viktor says. he thinks their diagnosis is wrong. whether that's just wishful thinking or he's right, i can't really determine. but for the sake of this argument, let's say he's right and there's a way for V to use cyberware again.

you're telling me the FIA doesn't know that? i don't buy it and i don't trust myers. it all seems very solid at first. they kept their end of the bargain, they kept you alive. there's a tradeoff but they did what they said they'd do. but let's look at how they acted with songbird and go off of that. songbird was only useful to myers as long as she could keep her in check. as soon as that went out of the window so did myers's goodwill. AND if V attempted to help songbird escape before handing her over to reed, what's guaranteeing that they don't try that again? i suppose there's no guarantee, unless she makes sure they too can't stand up to her anymore. and what better way is there to do that than to rid V of their cyberware?

reed being the one who relays all of that to you is as much a comforting presence as takemura is in the devil ending. you can grow really close with them. they're gonna break it to you gently, you're gonna be more willing to sip that poison. if you end up working for their respective factions, you essentially sign yourself away to the FIA or arasaka after they both influenced you to sign a contract in exchange for help (that doesn't even fully deliver on its promises. mikoshi kills you entirely and the FIA doctors take your cyberware. with both of them you lose johnny and your friends). and maybe there's Vs out there who are fine with that, or wanted that even and in that case all my points are kinda moot. like i said, i'm going off a V who isn't really about sympathising with them.

anyway, slight tangent. back to reed. you might want to think he's a friend to your V. maybe he is. but looking back at his history with alena and songbird... is he? like really? even if he truly considers them friends and i like to think he does, he DOES put duty above them every time. myers points and he shoots.

IF in the tower ending, myers is acting as i'd expect her to, and by that i mean keeping V on a short leash, then reed is helping her do that.

and IF viktor is right and the FIA doctors are wrong about you using your cyberware ever again, then they're only "wrong" because myers told them to feed you false information. and now you're working for her and how are you gonna get out of that when she's the president of the NUSA and everyone around you has cyberware but you don't.

i kept on hearing that the tower ending is one of the "best" endings if you want to hear - with certainty - that V survives. and maybe it is. but really, at what cost man. how much longer are you gonna keep going in night city when half of its citizens hold a grudge against you, your cyberware is gone, your friends are gone, and the faction you're working with might or might not have hired you and taken your cyberware from you just to make sure you don't ever act up again.

how fucking awful of a future would that be to a nomad V. spent 2 years in a coma? they didn't just choose the quiet life over a blaze of glory, they died in their sleep.
