Final Exam is done with

It's very weird to have a Final Exam and Pakistan Independence Day on the same day. Either way, happy Indian Independence day!

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Why I HC Shadow as Physically Disabled:

As someone who is physically disabled, it made me notice quite a few signs of Shadow being disabled. I will provide as much evidence that I have found whilst trying to keep this brief.

Disability has *always* been a central point of Shadow's story through Maria and her own illness. When looking deeper I noticed that all the chaos energy in Shadow's body as well as the strain it puts on him tends to mirror Maria's NIDS and the stress, pain, and fatigue she goes through.

Shadow's body is in a constant battle with itself. The amount of chaos energy within him is too much for his body. Shadow has to wear his inhibitor rings to contain the chaos energy in his body as without them his power becomes too overwhelming, putting great strain on his body; leading to exhaustion, fatigue, and even loss of consciousness. These Inhibitor Rings were created to aid Shadow and prevent him from experiencing such fatigue and burnout.

Speaking of things created to aid Shadow, let's talk about his air shoes. In Sonic x Shadow Generations we get to take a peek into Professor Gerald Robotnik's Journal, and from that we learn Shadow's air shoes were in fact designed by Maria to aid his mobility due to the tremendous strain his body is under. His air shoes are LITERALLY a mobility aid, and it is quite telling that Maria was the one to design them as she would know first hand what its like to be disabled.

More evidence that shows his air shoes to be mobility aid comes from the Sonic IDW comics which are canon to the games. During the Metal Virus arc Shadow became infected and turned into a ‘Zombot’ while infected, Zom-Shadow was unable to use his air shoes and was noted by Sonic not to be able to move as well nor as fast as he is normally able to.

Whether intended or not I feel that Shadow is great representation due to how easily people can see themselves in Shadow. I love Shadow because of how much I can relate to him and that sentiment rings true for so many others. This post ended up being a bit long so if you took the time to read this, thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed it!

hey mouthwashing analysts, do we maybe want to think a bit before comparing a full grown man, who is just heavily disabled, to a baby? like a literal infant? especially when there's a stronger metaphorical/psychological/symbolic avatar for the baby and pregnancy already present within the narrative? (multiple even!)

Albus Severus being too bad at magic to defend himself against aimed hexes in the halls, or when hes cornered 4:1, yet he keeps putting himself in situations where he needs magic to help him, because he's too weak to be physical, certainly too weak to go against the upper yearsman who always threaten Scorpius, making sure they leave him with a mark, like claiming victory. And he doesn't know how to talk back against his peers or tormentors or whatever, because when he's sitting in class and the people behind him are talking about him a little too loud to even be mistook as accidental, or when he mucks up a spell and the whole room seems to laugh at him, he's just too anxious to even look up. The most he'll do when he's getting pushed to his limit is shout something and run off (coward they'd call after him, he couldn't even deny it)

Ugh. Need more content with Albus and Scorpius getting bullied because the angst potential is crazy

What I am doing today

I have a final exam for General physics 2 on Monday.

I will go skim through the chapters in the textbook and mindmap the concepts I don't fully understand.

I will be studying on the Amtrak train from Austin to home. TY to @amtrak-official for reminding me about how much I love the amtrak train.

Chapters I want to cover today:

Lens

Magnetism

Electromagnetism

some whiteboard Yugo with expressive wings, because im still mad ankama went thru all the trouble of making his hat expressive, but not animating. the actual things moving it.

bonus hims just because

[unseemingowl]

The fact that Alan Wake 2 sales are not yet generating royalties for Remedy, but has only just about recouped development and marketing costs is fucking wild to me.

After all those awards, all that praise. The fact that its easily amongst the best games released these past ten years.

I mean, fucking hell. This is why we can’t have nice things.

[ohposhers]

made the huge mistake of deciding to do a big playthrough of all of Shadow's games before playing SxSG cause now every time I open steam it feels like this

[residentialsinyomakai]

More yokai ideas/doodles from stream so far >:)

"I trusted you... and you betrayed me..."

Doncha just love it when doomed yaoi haunts the narrative cause I like it a lot. This songs been all over tik tok and I had to jump on it

[kaontic]

Finally ordered myself to make just as much human Op art as I did human Megs art so (we can’t let him win anymore)—

PS: My sister thought I was drawin’ Jesus.

No (not this time hehe) but I’ll look more into the comparisons guess who I actually based him on (partially).
