i dont want to take away from the cursed tumblrness of that post but sincerely its such a pet peeve when people are like "this person wrote [pretty normal fiction that i think is weird]" as some sort of callout. maybe yall should read more books if you think things like "mermaid cannibalism" is at all out there. i read that trope when i was 12 in peter and the starcatchers. calm down.
In the light of recent events please enjoy this absolute gem, my beloved, beautiful, amazing issue and Knuckles in it. This might be my favorite issue of archie I've read. I think about this at least once a week.
Sonic Universe Issue 70 my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved my beloved!!!!!!!!!!
Knuckles and Shadow - stubborn as brick walls.
Knuckles and Shadow going from trying to kill each other to saving each other to killing each other to a nice little beat of teamwork.
Knuckles showing Shadow secret routes through Angel Island
Knuckles being so broken up about the possibility of having to break the Master Emerald again in order to save it there's multiple moments where he contemplates it.
HE LITERALLY GOES I'M SORRY AS HE'S ABOUT TO DO IT
Shadow going "was that... chaos control?" when he sees Knuckles break the M.E.
we really don't talk enough about what a wild decision it was for riverdale to hire famous new queer cinema director gregg araki to direct only the wrestling episode specifically to make it as uncomfortably homoerotic as possible and then never hire another outside guest director again.
I DIDN'T KNOW BIGB WAS AT HIS OWN FUNERAL AS A GHOST??????
[Transcript:
Grian: Here lies BigB, the best secret soulmate. I... I am so sorry. I killed Ren, and I didn't think hard about the consequences. I didn't really... I didn't really expect it to work. I'm sorry B. Please
BigB: I... forgive you Grian. I forgive you
Grian: secret soulmate. Still secret soulmates]
THIS IS SO SICKENING????? Has this been talked about, and I'm just... late to the party??? Oh my god... this is so sickening.
On another side note, more ghost perspective pls. Especially after the final battle. Like post a bonus video a week after the finale yk? I want to see them make bets on who's winning.
On another another side note. Ren saying that they were loyal to the end in their ghost perspective is so ironic to me, but it literally doesn't help with my utter confusion of what's going on with Ren and BigB. So does Ren actually know?? Or did Ren just say that for a nicer final narrative?
I saw on Twitter a while ago of people showing off their design for Sally Acorn. I never actually watched the Satam show or read the Archie comics, so I never got exposed to her glory.
I watched Lowart's videos on the Archie comics though, and from what I've seen there, she's a cool character! I would read the archie comics if it wasn't filled with weird teen romance drama and love. I dunno, it's just not my cup of tea. (yes, I don't like kissing, I'm 19 years alive and I still get weirded out to kissing scenes... I really am a loser) Which is a bummer since she seems so cool, but she's like in the heart of all the romance drama it seems.
