Expanding on the endings of Shadow The Hedgehog

Because this games has too many endings and it’s clear they were written in 5 minutes, but in some cases I really want to know what would happen next.

Pure Dark-Dark: Shadow has been consumed by grief and rage, to the point that he doesn’t care about Black Doom’s real plan of enslaving humanity: he wants to exterminate them and destroy the damn planet. If he succedes, probably by using the fully powered Eclipse Cannon, he’ll live the rest of eternity on the ARK, maybe contented at first for fulfilling his purpose, but then feeling empty and alone. But what about Black Doom, who’s seeing his new puppet ruining his plans? Maybe he gets killed along with the humans…

Pure Dark-Hero: Shadow is only slightly less cruel in this ending. Yes, he turns his back to Black Doom to help his best friend, but it’s only to get the Emeralds for himself, too far gone to actually care about their old friendship. WIth a god complex the size of a galaxy, he decides on a whim to conquer the universe (or in the Japanese version, just the Earth, which is a more feasible plan), possibly replacing Black Doom. And considering he still thinks his mission is to “ensure peace and justice amongst all of mankind”, things aren’t looking so well for humanity… So it’s very similar to the consequences of the previous ending, but the people on Earth may be kept alive, ruled by an unjust, resentful dictator.

Semi Dark-Dark: Self-explainatory, this is the ending where Shadow pledges his loyalty to Black Doom. After the victory of the Black Arms, he becomes the overlord’s right hand, helping him to enslave humanity and other planets. This can’t be a good fate for Shadow, though - Black Doom doesn’t care about anything or anyone, not even his offspring, so who knows how he’d treat Shadow now that he has given him what he wanted… it’s not like he has any other place left to go anyway.

Semi Dark-Hero: This is the equivalent of Knuckles’ ending in Sonic Adventure (funny as he is the last person he helps here): Shadow gains literally nothing from his journey, simply reaching the conclusion that he doesn’t need anyone’s help, and he doesn’t need to help anyone. He stops fighting in the war, but the Black Arms will likely win in the end thanks to Shadow’s previous help. Also, Eggman is killed, but in this ending it barely matters. Shadow’s selfishness at the very last second dooms humanity regardless.

Neutral-Dark: This ending is the most ambiguous. Shadow betrays Eggman at the last minute to vow to surpass the “original” Shadow. How does he plan to do so is uncertain. With Shadow refusing to join the war (or having helped both G.U.N. and Black Doom equally), there’s no way to predict the winner. On top of that, Eggman is dead, which is a good thing in the grand scheme of things as he’s a persistent terrorist, but he was helping the heroes fight the Black Arms off… and I can’t imagine Sonic being too happy that Shadow of all people uncerimoniously killed his archenemy. This ending has Shadow living a lie, with no one to tell him that he’s completely off-base.

Neutral-Hero: Shadow, with Omega’s help, vows to topple Eggman and create a robot empire (wonder if they’ll include Metal Sonic in the gang). Interesting at first, but the fact that Shadow is not one of them has to come out sooner or later… Of course, what I just said about the war’s fate being uncertain and Eggman’s death applies here as well. In the end this ending is almost identical to the previous one, but at least he has an ally here… an ally who’s probably more concerned about destroying the last Eggman’s robots that to set Shadow straight.

Semi Hero-Dark: Another ending that can be equated to Knuckles’ fate, for some reason. Shadow decides to be the ARK’s guardian to atone for his perceived sins, and for once he spares Eggman. He stops fighting in the war, but G.U.N. will likely win in the end thanks to Shadow’s previous help… and also because Black Doom will now have to go through Shadow to use the Eclipse Cannon, and it’s likely he’ll fail. All is well, but it’s implied that Shadow will never see his old friends again, completely alone up in the ARK, and Eggman has no reason to tell anyone else where he is.

Semi Hero-Hero: Another self-explainatory ending. It’s heavily implied Shadow commits suicide due to the sheer guilt over being created (there’s even a path that’s called “Shadow’s Second Death…?”). Sure, G.U.N. will eventually win against the Black Arms, but at what cost? Sonic, Rouge and everyone else will experience grief for Shadow for the second time in a short span of time.

Pure Hero-Dark: This ending is the most random, with Shadow betraying Sonic at the last minute simply to prove himself the strongest hedgehog… but realistically spekaing, Shadow refused to help Sonic, and instead helped Black Doom protect the Black Comet from G.U.N.’s attacks, therefore delaying the victory against them, and fought the Commander and his Diablon, for extremely selfish and petty reasons.  His actions make no sense and he just proved himself to be an unstable, untrustworthy ally, and even after G.U.N.’s victory, they’re not going to forgive him any time soon.

Pure Hero-Hero: This ending directly continues into The Last Story and the rest of the series, as this is the only canonical ending. Not much to add here.

Did you know that the game Shadow the Hedgehog is a filthy shipper, on top of everything else?

Say you like Shadamy. There’s a path you can take to make their romance bloom!

Here, Shadow obeys Black Doom until he meets Amy in Cryptic Castle - then his love for her reedems him, and he turns into a pure hero until the very end. How romantic!

But maybe you’re into Shadouge more. You’re in luck, because there are two paths for you!

Same story, except it’s meeting Rouge in Digital Circuit that makes all the difference.

If this is too perfect, there’s a less smooth version:

Shadow falters for a bit in Prison Island before keeping being a hero. This is the story where Shadow finds Charmy so annoying that he’d rather ruin his perfect hero record than help the bee and his stupid secret disks. But he still manages to honor Rouge’s wishes <3

(or alternatively, this is the path the player can take to avoid losing their will to live in Lost Impact, but that’s a different matter)

And believe it or not, the game supports Sonadow (and a bit of Knuxadow) too!

Here, Shadow is on a quest for himself only, caring for nobody in his way… but apparently he has a soft spot for Knuckles, as he helps him in Glyphic Canyon before keeping himself neutral once more… but when he meets Sonic in Space Gadget, our blue hero manages to sway Shadow on his side, and he turns on the side of good just in time, just for Sonic.

This game is a big fanfiction in more ways than you ever imagined :D

The different answers to one single question.

[prismatic-ink]

Yooo new Tumblr Sexyman just dropped 🤖

[prismatic-ink]

oh lawd he comin!!!!!!

[prismatic-ink]

hey guys reminder that

A) We are not owed information. Don't demand to know what happened, don't harass the other hermits about it. We will likely find out in time

B) As far as we know, from the phrasing in the announcement, Iskall and Stress resigned, they were not kicked out. I've seen some posts already talking about how Iskall was kicked out, and as far as we know this is untrue. (As far as we know, Stress's resignation was not due to any allegations either, and we should avoid speculating.)

C) Don't sensationalize this. I saw another post talking about this and I feel like it's important to touch on. Don't make a meme or joke out of hating on Iskall. Even if you're in the "right," it still spreads negativity and spends unneeded energy.

docm on iskall/stress resignation from hermitcraft

[prismatic-ink]

PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:

we, as fans, do not have a right to private information. anything shared with us on this is a privilege. please do not abuse it. the cc's could shut down and never talk about it if we overwhelm them.

also, please keep in mind that ONE HERMIT and THE ENTIRETY OF HERMITCRAFT are NOT THE SAME THING. the entire fandom is not 'ruined' or 'completely unsafe' because of the actions of one person.

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE OTHER HERMITS KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATEVER'S GOING ON WITH ISKALL. this is not some big conspiracy, it's the consequences of one person's actions. they weren't hiding this from us, that's not how hermitcraft works, they truly didn't know. they probably knew as much as us about this, so making it an 'us against them' situation is immature and shortsighted.

ALSO, I AM BEGGING EVERYONE TO PLEASE NOT SENSATIONALIZE THIS. PLEASE DO NOT TURN HATING ISKALL INTO A MEME OR A JOKE.

mcyt'ers being revealed to be less-than-great people is not a rare thing, sadly, but i've seen it turned into a joke/meme/trend in other fandoms. this both minimalizes the actual people's/victims' struggles, makes the entire situation feel less serious than it is, especially to outsiders looking in, and makes everyone in the fandom look immature, petty, unable to take anything seriously, and genuinely harmful.

this server, fandom, and community are not dying, it is not ruined forever, this is one (major, i'm not trying to minimalize it) issue that we're currently dealing with. it will be okay. we will move on. this is not the beginning of the end. please calm down. i love this fandom, god bless all of you. <3

edit: doc has said on stream that we will likely get more information as time passes. like i said, this is a PRIVILEGE. we are not OWED information. please be grateful for what we're given, and POLITELY ask questions if you must. if a cc doesn't give you the answer you want, or doesn't answer at all, LEAVE THEM ALONE. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO HARASS PEOPLE. the hermits are likely just as stressed out as us, if not probably more so, so please keep that in mind when contacting them.

don't freak out, we'll be okay, this is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of Hermitcraft. we will be okay.

second edit: please remember that (at least as far as we know) ISKALL AND STRESS WERE NOT KICKED OR BANNED. THEY LEFT OF THEIR OWN VOLITION.

ALSO!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!

WE. DO. NOT. KNOW. EXACTLY. WHAT. HAPPENED.

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING SIMPLY BASED OFF OF OTHER MCYT'ERS PAST ACTIONS/SCANDALS. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WE MIGHT NOT EVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WE NEED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT AND NOT DRAW OUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
