This is going on the main blog because it's way too controversial for the Sonic blog, but- I wish the Sonic fandom could treat Eggman like how the Hollow Knight fandom treats the Pale King.

The Pale King, AKA, a character who is objectively a bad person and who did Horrible Warcrimes Things To Children, but is allowed to have multiple fan interpretations. No one's denying the Crimes but he's allowed to be interpreted as a nice person or a mean person fanfic-by-fanfic. Some fics write him as a great dad, or at the very least a dad who's trying his best. Others (the ones more closely aligned to canon, arguably), write him as a horrible dad, or sometimes not even a dad at all.

Levels of meow-meow-ification with this character are also regulated in this way. Fics range from "he did nothing wrong!" to "he did everything wrong" and there's no fighting about it. It's a very effective institution of "don't like don't read".

There isn't any fighting about this. Nobody in the Hollow Knight tag is writing essays about "um Actually??? he's a horrible person so if you think otherwise. . .". All views of this character exist simultaneously, and people enjoy these different interpretations of this character side-by-side, jumping from "good dad" fic to "bad dad" fic with just a single click.

And GOD I wish that were the case for one Dr. Ivo Robotnik Eggman. I want to click on one fic where he's torturing children and then click to the next where he's giving them nothing more than an evil cackle and a pat on the back. This dude can contain multitudes.

"But Eggman has more canon!" bro the Sonic fandom has been ignoring canon it doesn't like for the past two decades. Why should we stop now??

I just managed to get off mha hyperfixation

And now it's happening again... Oh no

Helps with upcoming MHUI LoV event tho, it was a long time since last one happened I wonder what would happen in a new filler story part

Basically this and couple of pages of mid-final arc chapters + recent episode and next one being The Dabi episode was just too much not to get excited again

But! Important thing - I need to reread the last arc before I make anything new, if possible without finishing it to the 419 chapter and everything after, it took 2 months to really recover from the damage that chapter did

Anyway am I ready for the new event? Kinda! Do I have enough gems to get new Tomura? No! I'm not sure he'll even show up this time, because other ones were and still are really stubborn

Also Steampunk recruit took like 120 pulls in a step-up recruit and in the usual one combined

Not the best time to get LoV involved, it's cruel even

Also that one part of the page I added at the beginning was so interesting to look at and them I joked about 236 being similar. The only good thing with final arc being over is that I can say that Izuku didn't draw the parallel of seeing everyone hurt and seeing Tenko react on Mon's death

Understandable why, but it's funny to just look at them and be like, "wow Horikoshi traumatized them both"

literally feeling so sick and heartbroken for first in this ep like the switch up from zee to sprite!zee in the beginning was hard enough for him to get through and accept this new version of zee but once he finally does and is COMFORTABLE and HAPPY with sprite!zee now he's pingponging back and forth between the 2 of them constantly??? when they're SO polar opposites?? it's painful and sprite needs to hurry up and SEE the shit first is going through bc zee refuses to give a fuck abt their relationship

Brno 2005 anon again, thanks for answering! And yes the end of that race had me screaming, it’s so narratively perfect. The last ten laps are the commentators yapping about Valentino pulling a last corner overtake, saying it would be risky, but remember sachsenring, and if anyone would risk their race to prove that kind of point it would be Valentino.

And there’s sete who is basically (and unfortunately) sitting and waiting for Valentino to make his move. Sete who TOLD THE PRESS that he set up his bike around ‘a specific part of the track’ because he predicted it would be important, aka Valentino would try to overtake there. And the anticipation builds, everyone thinking about vale pulling off the move of a lifetime in the last few moments. And then Valentino overtakes sete in the beginning of the last lap! Catches sete and the audience by surprise!! Sete barely hangs on, and before he has a chance to see if he can catch vale in the last corner, potentially redeeming himself or reversing his fate, he runs out of gas!!!! A man who told the press in detail the many ways he prepared himself and his bike for the race lost due to such a basic detail (obviously his team was involved here but?????).

Genuinely, Brno 2005 would be more believable if it was a Greek myth about a mortal offending a god and reaping the consequences.

(x) I could print out this ask and kiss it

no but seriously, I absolutely adore sachsenring/brno 2005 specifically because it's such a sick and twisted addition to the canon? like it was so Plot Significant as a duo of races two years earlier and is it not kind of CRAZY that you have sachsenring/brno 2003 and 2005 as four races where each time they both arrive at the final lap together. for all four races!! and then the dynamic has completely transformed in these two years and so has the power balance!! what it means to both of them to win and lose!! like this is some sicko shit!! other rivalries could only dream of this kind of narrative juice!!

so you've got the ecstasy of sete's sachsenring 2003 where valentino makes an error versus the horror of sete's sachsenring 2005 when HE makes the error:

genuinely I dare you to find me ANY other race after which valentino so visibly wants to end it all after losing wheel to wheel. look at him they had to talk him off the ledge. eyes are dead. hello darkness my old friend. he usually manages to find SOME kind of vaguely believable smile like look at this what is this. you've got sete going CRAZY on his bike and then valentino just comes across like someone who desperately needs to sit in a darkened room for a few hours contemplating the futility of our existence on this planet. whereas two years later!! he's won!! and the worst bit is that he doesn't even have to go crazy about the whole thing. this is already his eighth win of the season and they've not even gotten to the summer break!! there's something cruel in how understated it is and I am ALWAYS thinking of the suggestion that valentino was planning to overtake sete at the exact spot he had two years earlier... to reverse the mistake... but he didn't even have to!! it's just. so symbolically perfect. cruel as shit

psst psst notice how the loser is hiding his eyes with the sunglasses these men are NOT slick

and then brno!! 2003 is the race valentino was so determined not to lose.... after he'd gone off in the summer break, had his hot girl crisis, gotten his hair dyed and then beat sete by an even tighter margin than he'd just been beaten. after allegedly spending at least some of that summer break WITH SETE on ibiza where he'd gotten his hair dyed!! but now everything is different!! no more ibiza bonding after the horrors of the sachsenring!! what I really really love about brno 2005 is that it's like... it just feels like such an immediate continuation to what we'd just seen at sachsenring, it's almost you could cut it together and have a continuation of a single race. the duel picks up again at once. there's been several weeks between it but sete is just plugged right into the same situation. it's a time loop!! it's inescapable!! do you hear valentino's voice in your ear telling you how you will fail again? you will make a mistake here too. something will happen. you cannot win this

but the thing about sete's tragedy is that it is fundamentally at least partially self-inflicted, as all the best tragedies are. it's his mistake at sachsenring! he goes off on a summer race and then come backs and apparently spends far too much time blabbing at journalists about the minutiae of his approach for the coming race. and then. and then!! and then. valentino gets past again. and sete does not even make it to the end of the race. because his team did not fuel the bike correctly. his final downfall. was secured. through fuel levels

"another negative day" kinda tells you everything you need to know, huh

is there anything as quietly brutal as the phrase 'offered race winner rossi'. OFFERED. sete deserved to be on the podium :)) genuinely I could not live my life like this

literally

sete had the audacity to step up to become the challenger and then he gets dragged through the most straight up absurd horrors this sport has ever seen as punishment
