hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i’m just gonna talk about a thing i like

Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, “Trans people are cool!”

^ this is all from the wiki btw

I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.

Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman’s grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria’s soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I’m reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.

Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman’s grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman’s grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.

With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.

He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.

So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.

Why would I lie about that? Here it is.

Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don’t care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,

and then in the next game it’s just fine but evil now(???)

and after THAT it’s not evil anymore but it’s fully intact:

What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we’re getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

    Funny how it hits some family members a lil different when I tell them I’m sterile now vs. when I first told them I never wanted kids

    Like even when they’re polite about it I can still tell they’re shook

    Makes me wonder how many of them were quietly hoping my partner and I would have a change of heart or worse, an accident (we live in a state where abortion is banned). Fuck youuuu, I’m never getting pregnant! popuko-finger

    Was in a crowd an accidentally ended up in the group photo of the people in front of me. At least in terms of briefly seeing the picture over someone’s shoulder on a small screen, I actually was fairly pleased with how I looked.

    I’m dying. My mother decided to move Thanksgiving up to today because I won’t be able to have it on Thursday and I’m killing myself with all the cooking. And yes, I’m starting to suspect that the real reason was because I’m the one that cooks the meal >w>

    I did a lot of voice training for many years to get to where I am now, where people tell me even my lowest-effort cadence still passes to the average ear, but even after all of that I find myself never using it in good company anyway. It is exhausting and frankly uncomfortable for me to maintain for long stretches of constant speaking; we’re talking a whole day would give me a hoarse throat for most of the next day. I appreciate being able to do it as both a fun novelty in the company of some and also as a practical matter of safety in the company of others… but I have nothing but respect for people who just say “fuck this” and don’t bother. Massive, massive respect.

    dysphoria, voice training, surgery mention, whining

    Woke up with a scratchy throat and extra deep pitch voice, had to talk to a relative I’m not out to, relative remarked that “I’m easier to understand than I usually am(?)” (they’re kinda hard of hearing and old, I usually use “normal” voice with them, which I guess is androgynous instead of femme?)

    I’ve gotten “oh LocalOaf, I didn’t know that was you, you sound so much like your dad! You’re growing up, teehee” kinda shit before and

    screm AAAAAAA

    I sound like fucking Tom Waits today and wanna cry

    Tried my femme voice alone and the best I can do rn is Dr. Girlfriend

    Down the road I think I need VFS but that scares me and seems unobtainable financially

    Fuck this gay earth comintern rainbow-has

    voice coach is asking me to come up with some more specific and concrete voice training goals and the only voice goals I can think of are the most ridiculous and over the top fictional character voices

    spoiler

    okay maybe with most of the innuendo and extremely flirty inflection dropped but can a girl not want to sound like Mad Moxxi?

    Had a dream that started as a nightmare of a creature going around killing people in a space station on some planet, and then the creature got to me and she turned out to be Badeline from Celeste. She was like “oh shit your trans? Good for you,” made a connection that felt like a friendship with me, then went back to killing cis people. Pretty cool dream.
