Shadow's little underwater adventure (Part 1)

Right before my former account being banned for no reason, I prepared a little story - nothing special - with Shadow as protagonist. it was already ready to be posted. A little adventure in his daily tasks. The real reason behind this is that I'm learing blender more. Now I'm testing rendering, I didn't know it was so good. And fast!

It won't be a real writing. Mostly a bunch of notes. If you want, you can take it to your fanfiction. I would love to read them.

I rendered a bunch of picture with Shadow having this little yet dangerous adventure.

The Sonic fandom sometimes like to put Sonic and his friends in perilious situations involving dipping. They give Sonic the ability to swim, and they even involve Maria. Only Shadow is spared from this, I wonder why. Well, I'll give my contribute, solving the problem.

The model is by Dokats0 but I changed a bit the proportions according to my tastes. Shadow's behaviour in this little story reflects his behaviour in Archie Comics (reboot). He won't be an edgelord.

Other than Dokatz0 model, I added a fishing boot model from Sketchfab, here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/fishing-boat-f4b38ccf5ffb46018aa7931c0e106654

And an edited DAZ studio model for the grotto, here: https://www.daz3d.com/cyngen-epic-dragon-s-tower

The water, the bubbles and the emerald are done by me.

The dip

Here's the context: Shadow aknowledged a chaos emerald is hidden in the ocean. He is willing to recover it as soon as possible, at cost to put himself in dangerous situations (well, typical).

He went far from the coast using an old fashioned fishing boot (well, he's from more than half century ago, he might find comfortable using something from his era). That's because he doesn't want to experience hassles with other people. And anyway Rouge and Omega know what he is doing. Although not here, they'll watch him from afar, reading to aid if things go south.

Oh well, Rouge called. Shadow just tells her that he is sure to be on the right spot. He senses the chaos emerald below.

The wrist communicator is on his right and is designed for lefties. Indeed, Shadow is left handed.

(Yes, he was characterized as such from Sonic Heroes to Sonic 0 gravity, it was most noticeable in Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 and Sonic 2006, not only the hand he often use but also the way he moves. He is a lefty also in Shadow trypod baby Japanese advertisement, Basket Shadow advertisement, Shadow dark beginning. Also hinted in both Archie and IDW comics. I did a long post in my former account, I'll do it there too. Tomorrow) .

He started to prepare to dive, taking slow, deep breaths, calming down as much as possible, focusing. He knows the dip will be long. In typical Archie Shadow fashion, he stubbornly claimed that - as the Ultimate Lifeform - he doesn't need diving gears.

SPOILER - perhaps, later we'll discover he might be right...

He's ready to dive!

There will be not much to write on thefollowing images, as is just him diving toward the ocean floor. They will be a bunch, to give an idea of passing time.

Shadow reached the ocean floor 7 meters below. The visibility was limited. He could not see much further, but the chaos emerals feels nearer.

Following the chaos emerald, Shadow spotted what it seemed a large cave. He wasn't sure. But he sensed the emerald even stronger. He had to go there.

Hoping the cave will be not that deep. Right now he might be under for about 2 minutes, he still has plenty to go, but he know not even the Ultimate Lifeform can hold his breath forever. And considering his pessimistic outlook to life and his unluck, he except he will need to hold his breath as long as he can.

On my previous blog I once wrote about Shadow limits. I headcanon that he can stay comfortably underwater for about 5 or 6 minutes, it depends to his state. And force himself to stay under other two minutes if necessary, this does means a total of 7 or 8 minutes.

If the blog will still be here, then next week we'll see howShadow's little adventure will unfold

What to do if your account gets wrongfully terminated

So by now most of you have probably heard that my account was suddenly terminated (aka banned) on Saturday afternoon. I’m back now, and since I had to do some digging into this on my own, I figured I’d make a post for others to reference. 

How to tell if you’ve been wrongfully terminated

You will find yourself suddenly locked out of your account. For me, I had just made a post when I got kicked to the login screen. My password wouldn’t work, so I tried to reset it, at which point I got this screen:

Now, if Tumblr legitimately terminated your account - meaning, you broke a rule and they banned you for it - they should send you an email telling you why. So, immediately check your email. If you don’t get anything, it was probably a glitch. These happen shockingly often, so there’s a whole process to it. 

How to get your account back

First, submit a support ticket. Tumblr’s support email does NOT work, you MUST go through their site. Select ‘Terminated account’. Write a POLITE message explaining the situation. Describe what you were doing when you suddenly got kicked off, and state that to the best of your knowledge, you haven’t broken any rules, or that if you did, you would be willing to delete the offending posts. Include your url and email.

Check your email. You should immediately get an automatic message saying they’re looking into the problem. If you don’t that means that Tumblr marked your email as spam (because they banned you). If you need to, resend the ticket using a different email address at the bottom. Explain that your account email doesn’t seem to be going through and that’s why you’re using a different one. 

Wait. Tumblr Support’s hours of operation are 9-5 EST, Monday through Friday. If, like me, you submitted your ticket on a weekend, you may be in for a wait. If you don’t get a response within 24 hours, DO NOT SEND ANOTHER TICKET, but instead reply to the email they sent you. I’ve seen it advised that you should send another ticket only if the problem isn’t fixed within the week. 

Check you url often. Tumblr will likely never respond to your email letting you know what happened or that you’ve been reinstated. Check your url every so often, and if it finally loads as your blog (instead of the ‘There’s nothing here’ screen) you are free to log back in. 

And that’s it! If it was a glitch, they SHOULD reinstate your account, but you MUST submit a support ticket letting them know what’s going on.

Sonic Just Because has been terminated for no reason

So I reopened a new blog.

I hope my former blog will be recovered, restarting everything is not what I wanted.
