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???

About the accents: if someone has a very "proper" Italian they are either foreigners or politicians/dignitaries/etc. So that fits perfectly for Machete, but I think it would be so funny if he sometimes slipped up and used a Nepalese word bc he forgot one in "proper" Italian lol

(Funny to me cause Naples has its own language in addition to accent, and most people don't actually know those words)

Ok, please correct me if I’m wrong, but me and other people have talked about how Ivan antagonizes others (Till and Sua) to gain any attention he can from them since he wants to form a deeper bond with them but doesn’t know how, and how he knows it hurts them and that it’s selfish, but focusing on Ivti here, besides from the meteor shower escape scene, I don’t remember a moment in canon where Till is particularly aware he’s hurting Ivan? 

This isn’t me pointing fingers at Till, of course; it’s just that we always seem to see Ivan provoking first (usually intentionally, sometimes not, like with the Cheer Up comic), so on Till’s side it’s not so much as him hurting Ivan but just retaliating against him? Defending himself.

I have not worded this post great at all, but what I’m trying to get across is that the hurt and then comfort dynamic seems to be more one-sided instead of mutual, like I’ve seen it said before? Like Ivan’s the one mostly doing the pushing and pulling while Till’s just reacting or not reacting.

We've obviously not had any discussions about labels or anything like that but I get the feeling that if they do, they might end up using pan to describe Carla and honestly, I think that'd be such a beautiful introduction to pansexuality on mainstream British TV.

[i-havenothingelsetopost]

genuine question, do you like maths?? i have a vague feeling i saw your post of tags or something that said something about it but i cannot figure out if it was in fact you or if it was even positive ahahah

Yeah that was me! I don't go looking for math problems, but when I happen to do them, I tend to enjoy it. Wasn't always this way — elementary school math was about speed and memorization and I hated that — but I had a really good teacher in upper secondary school, and it became about creative problem solving. It feels the same as writing a poem in meter or managing to untangle a really bad knot in a ball of yarn.

hazel was a worse girlfriend than piper was and reyna was meaner than annabeth but no one will ever care because their primary victim was frank. But I Care.

No because why did it take me this long to realize that the Byers were moved to California because of it's proximity to Nina

I wasn't prepared for how wanting a hug from a friend that's thousands of miles away would feel like a stab in the chest. They don't tell you that shit hurts and you can't do anything about it

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! ^^ (Optional ofc)

Brooo I'm so sorry on how long it took me to get to this! I wanted to think my answer first, since I can honestly list more than just 5 things and then I just forgot Dx

Going to church more and hearing my pastor preach about God!

Petting and hanging out with my dogs, they mean so much to me

Investing into my characters. I recently dropped a lot of characters I had and started over, so its been a lot of fun doing all of that! Someday I'll draw art for them (but lets see how long it takes lol)

Thinking about my favorite character of all time >:)

Playing games like Pokemon, Palworld and Slime Rancher and getting really into the fictional animals in those worlds. Since June, my special interest has been constantly shifting between those 3 series/games, so I'm not worried about getting burnout from them

(probably not gonna send this to the last 10 people in my notifications but I may send it to friends lol am very shy)

I always thought when I found a good relationship of my own I'd stop being such a little hater vis a vis other people's romantic escapades, because surely I was just jealous, right ?? what I really wanted was to be that happy and in love, right ??? no one is that hateful and meanies over something that literally doesn't involve them, right !!!!

unfortunately, good reader,

Talking a little bit about 'boycotting Eurovision' under Keep Reading, feel free to scroll down if is not what you want to see.

The most used argument on the matter of banning Israel from Eurovision is the fact that Russia got banned from Eurovision, which is the worst argument anyone could bring.

Kindly reminder that Russia didn't get banned because of the war with Ukraine. Russia got banned because many countries has threatened to withdraw from the competition. Sadly, that's a big difference.

Yes, the countries has threatened to withdraw because they support Ukraine and see Russia as the party in the wrong. That was their reason. EBU's reason for banning Russian was because those countries threatened to withdraw, not because the war was bad and Russia must be stopped.

This situation isn't the same. Why? Because many countries support Israel in their genocide. Because this time around Palestine is the party in the wrong. Because we're taught to believe that Israel isn't in the wrong here.**

Boycotting Eurovision won't work. There are people out there who don't know the truth and want to watch Eurovision. There are people out there who don't care and will watch Eurovision regardless of the situation. There are people out there who, despite having the facts, still don't see Israel as the bad guy in this situation and will watch Eurovision. Sadly, boycotting won't work unless everyone does it.

The only way Israel will get banned, in my opinion, is by going through the same thing as Russia. If other countries threatened to withdraw- and not any countries, but the ones investing the most in Eurovision, then yes. That will get Israel banned.

Otherwise? The only thing we do is hurt artists that don't deserve it. Artists who use Eurovision as a way to get more exposure and experience. Artists who deserve to be heard.

Don't vote for Israel's entry. Don't stream their song either. Heck, turn off the TV when is their turn to perform.

**This whole situation (the war, not Eurovision) isn't only black and white. Civilians die daily because of this, all of them from both sides. Innocent people who has no fault. Let's not forget that

you know what I've always wondered? if being a hero is genetic, and heroes have extra strength and vitality and shit, what in the world could have happened to sparrow and roses parents? do you have any fun theories?

So I've always been in the camp of something similar to what we see at the end of the perfect world quest. Like i know its a test, but it seems to be digging into Sparrow's subconscious. With how they and Rose are having their perfect day, but the parents aren't there to me has always indicated that either the memories of their parents so blurry they can't visualize them like they can rose, or they're supressed for some reason.

Then when they leave, like their parents did that morning before they woke up, and are greeted with corpses. The wiki says thats meant to represent the death Sparrows journey has brought into the world, but I think it could very well be attributed to how the parents died.

Likely caught unaware while leaving to go and make money to keep their children fed and cared for-maybe not necessarily as farmers, they could have lived in Bowerstone and just had regular jobs- and killed, could have been bandits, could have been nicky the nick names crew. But if they weren't ready, or were unarmed, they could have been overwhelmed, especially if we go with the idea that the Hero of Southcliff is their father, because their story takes place 50ish years before 2, so they'd be aging and no longer in their prime.

I've also always liked the idea that sparrow may have actually seen the deaths, or at least the immediate aftermath, leading to them suppressing a lot of their childhood,- and that also being why during the begining and in her diary rose doesn't mention them at all-but while on the precipice of death themselves these memories get brought back up, just like how when you leave the scream Rose lets out is the same as when Lucien shot her.

anyways i did finish rereading episode 1 👍🏻 i don't think i've been paying enough attention to the epitaph and what it means, a lot was said (by kinzo, which means it might have been bullshit) about how solving the riddle would mean the "miracle" would not take place, which is the same thing as beato saying if time ran out she would win by default, which is the same thing as ange thinking maybe eva solving the riddle meant something went wrong... it did seem very odd to me (and i forgot about it afterwards) how eva did solve it and yet the murders didn't stop, they continued on full force, except she herself didn't die. so i'm not sure what's in it for the person behind this, what they gain with this whole riddle situation (enough about reviving rituals)

[mewharley]

I hate when I'm feeling like this

just... stuck emotionally

kinda bad but nothing is particularly wrong

it's mostly annoying :/

specially because a couple of days ago i was feeling *good* and thinking about enjoying the good but right now it's like ugh not again please let me be

[eepzie]

i think grix and henry hopclap are definitely red herrings. i think grix attacked ruben because what he was doing at frosty fair was a threat to aguefort. henry is just some guy who tinkered with him a bit and is worried about his nephew.
