Oh my God guys they actually chose a child actress for presumably Maria. This is fantastic news

Maria's bond to Shadow and relevance to his character, is intrinsically tied into the anti-military message of the OG SaB2 storyline. Ageing her up would have been tragic, of course, but it wouldn't carry the same weight. Maria didn't choose to live on the ARK, she wasn't an adult who was in charge of how she wanted to live or where she wanted to go. Gerald Robotnik made those decisions for her with her best interests at heart as any good parent (or in this case, grandfather) would do. She was terminally ill. She was on the ARK so that she could receive immediate treatment for her terminal illness once Robotnik found a cure via Project Shadow. And you know, the ARK would've been an incredibly sterile place-- another safeguard to keep her alive. It's even said the lighter gravity on-board helped ease her progressing disease.

And due to decisions made by the U.S Military based on arbitrary reasoning, they shot her. Point blank. She had no weapon, she was running away, and she was twelve years old.

She was only on the ARK because the same people that authorised her murder, had authorised Project Shadow ergo, the ARK, to begin with.

Robotnik wanted to heal. To help. He took the offer from the U.S Military to lead the Project, because an 'Utimate Life-Form' would theoretically be medically Perfect. No genetic mishaps, no illnesses, viruses, or anything to threaten its life outside of physical attacks. Something like that, could become a blueprint for cures. He could cure Maria, and ontop of that, start to heal others like her.

The caveat of course, was to create a lifeform with immortality and he decided if there was a chance to give his granddaughter an opportunity to grow up and see adulthood, the price was worth paying.

However his experiments whilst chaotic in nature did too well and the whole thing was shut down. All personnel related to Project Shadow with the exception of Robotnik himself, were to be killed. Age, race, relation, rank, if you worked on Project Shadow or knew what it was, you were to be shot on sight.

And that's why sonic/shadow fans go so rabid for ANY Sab2 content as this backstory ties into the whole plot of the game whose main links run straight to Maria Robotnik's fate.

Granted, it has become somewhat of a meme regarding how many times we get to see her die and in how many formats of that horrific sequence of events but the root message behind it carries more weight than many post Sab2 games. In fact, we rarely get to see such narrative driven themes from SEGA due to its constant mis-handling of the sonic franchise.

So yea, shoot that blond child on screen in cinemas. I want that white girl ELIMINATED on screen in front of parents who thought it was going to be a "lol sonic go fast" movie. The Masses Must Know that Sonic games Can and Will Go Hard (when Sega puts effort in.)

Jealousy | A Six of Crows Animatic

Criminal Kaz Brekker asks his righthand woman Inej to join him on a heist to pose as a mistress of an ambassador they are trying to expel. But under the surface, Inej struggles to understand why Kaz has asked her to join on the mission, while Kaz refuses to admit his true feelings for her.

I made animatic based off the kanej fan fiction “Serves You Right” Chapter 5 By LinearA @linearao3. Even though we can’t get soc spinoff, I’ll make fan stuff still!

Also, I got into animation grad school and this was for a storyboarding class :)

- 

So this is what I’ve been working for the past month. Was really hard to keep this a secret after Shadow and Bone cancelled. An ode to one of my all time favorite chapters of a fanfic. The visuals still stick with me now and it begs to be turned cinematic. 

For this storyboard, I edited some lines to make it more accessible to wider audience than soc and. Did lots of research on opera and tried to choose songs roughly in 17th century. So fun to make a soundtrack with whatever I wanted tho :)

i had the opportunity to meet jack wolfe at ASOCAS2 and gave him some of my art and he recognised it and was so insanely lovely

[lissa-edem]

It seems like I enjoy "Let's bring them together" thing. Also I like to think about Alina as the main Zoyalai's shipper, according to serial.

Alina, enthusiastically: we need to make Zoyalai become a couple.

David: Zoyalai?

Genya: he was in love with you, dear. and he proposed to you.

Alina: he was. but now he has heart-eyes every time, when Zoya is next to him. Nikolai is so bad in being unobvious.

Tolya: she's gonna tear his heart apart.

Alina: no, cause Zoya likes his heart. I'm not Kaz Brekker, but I've already made a plan.

it seems like people really liked the chao figure, so now you can (randomly) adopt one of the little guys. the box is 7 inch tall and can hold a variety of things while the figure is 5 inch. will add more possibilities soon.

from Mal Oretsev, your Sturmhond, with love

[Shadow and Bone TV. Grishaverse. Mal/Nikolai/Alina. 11k. post-season 2 epistolary get together fic]

No kissing, he’d told her, despite the way her eyes darted down to his mouth. Not unless you’re thinking of me, instead of trying to forget him. What Nikolai hadn’t said, that morning before the world started crashing down around them all over again, was that he thought of Mal, too. Of the twisted-together web the three of them made. His engagement to Alina, how tremulous the thing was, how wary Nikolai felt of hoping too badly for it to happen. Alina and Mal’s history, warped and tightly knotted and strained at the edges. The uncertain shape pulled between himself and Mal, an understanding he can’t put words to and a faith held in the unwavering needle of his lucky compass, warm against the skin of Mal’s chest. Nikolai wonders if he’s the only one who can see it- the three of them, Ravka spread out beneath their hands, back-to-back-to-back. He wonders if he’s the only one who wants it, fearsome and vicious and hungry.

He doesn’t think so; but he’s been wrong on occasion.

---------------------

or, Mal and Nikolai write each other letters, and all three of them find their way home.

hugs and kisses to jack @kingfisherkink for beta reading this LITERALLY MONTHS ago and to everyone who’s been so enthusiastic and encouraging about me talking abt this and then not posting it for literally ages <3 xoxoxoxo

Frankly, with the series, I still wonder what Alina can do with Mal, when Alexander and Nikolai exist !

Holy shit... I need Darklina and Nikolina content ASAP !

Thank you so much and enjoy!

If I was Alina, I would have simply and immediately fallen in love with Nikolai the first second I saw him

A pirate?? AND a secret prince??? I would simply be done for

[redpool]

I think its hilarious how out of all the canon relationships highlighted in season 2 of Shadow and Bone, Mal and Nikolai are the most shipped.
