@adriftfuture​ said:  “you're lying, which is both not like you and really annoying.”

Shadow’s not surprised Silver’s caught him in the act, nor was he particularly trying to hide it, lying being something that only weak people did to cover their tracks, but for once he understands how Silver feels -- traveling back in time and trying to act NORMAL is...difficult to say the least. Especially when maintaining said normalcy involves trying to pretend the other person isn’t going to wind up dead.

Self-fulfilling prophecies and all. Shadow doesn’t want that future to happen again, Silver like a sacrificial lamb walking to his death for the good of all / Shadow was the same way once, but life is worth living, and life cannot be lived if you are so eager to die for the first cause that comes along. THAT’S NO LIFE AT ALL.

Lying to Silver about it made it all feel like one bad dream. One very long, very horrible dream. Time to wake up.  “Okay, fine.”  Shadow draws in a breath that feels both too long and too short.

@adriftfuture​ no fr a major plot point with gr/aha ti/a aka the crys/tal ex/arch in this last patch is that basically the cry/stal ex/arch traveled 1) back in time 2) from another world to save a different world from its destruction

so u guys do that and then basically they have to contend with the fact that the future the ex/arch is from will no longer exist and he might just up and disappear (he does not)

ultimately you and your friends make soul crystals to travel back to your own world and he imbues his soul and memories into one of them and then  overuses his abilities so that his present body in this world gets like...medusa-ified forever. so then you take this soul crystal with his mind and memories in it back into your own world and just present it to the younger version of himself and implement his memories back into his younger self

silver the hedgehog type beat is all im saying

❝ The manipulation of time is such a wonderful thing, ❞ he hums, clawed hands digging into the other's muzzle ( a lock -- how much does he control? ) as the scene plays out before them. It's oh-so familiar, a heartache that will play out a million times so long as the demon wills it. And he wills it; the rage, the unkempt anger in his tone more than demonstrates as she fades from existence, AGAIN AND AGAIN. OH, THE PAIN HE EXPERIENCES WATCHING THIS SCENE -- it’s worth it for the other’s SUFFERING. ❝ All that work, and fate wouldn't let you hold onto the person you cherished most.  ❞

@adriftfuture​ SAID: “ you could be anything you wanted… is this truly what you want to be? “

@adriftfuture​ SAID: "i’m not even mad about it anymore. i’m just... tired."

❝ That is a fault of your own design, ❞ the hedgehog remarks, folding his arms and not even gracing Silver with a glance. It had been means to an end, all of it; as much as he may have humored their time together... people like him are never destined to unite, only to tear apart with visceral abandon. Besides, his fate had been sealed the moment Iblis was. He still remembers that very vividly... take away my world, and I will take away yours. ❝ Too forgiving. ❞

Empty eyes look at the ground.

& oh , he  was  right  -  they  couldn't  stop.  the  dam  would  break  soon  ,  &  if  they  were  to  leave  it  be  ,  who  knows  whoever  else  is  going  to  get  hurt.  NO  ,  THAT  IS  UNALLOWED.   earlier  ,  watching  the  (  SCANNING:  erinaceinae  )  hedgehog  fight  with  such  strange  abilities  ,  ones  that  she  could  hardly  pick  up  any  information  on  ,  still  left  her  very  confused.  where  did  he  come  from  ?  there  was  no  proof  he  was  CYBERFIED  just  like  her  ,  but . . .

something  was  indeed  OFF  .  .  .  but  they  had  no  time.  the  closer  they  got  to  the  threat  at  hand  ,  the  closer  innocent  creatures  are  to  living  in  PEACE.  it  was  not  everyday  that  she  was  in  unfamiliar  territory  ,  but  they  both  managed.  she  stayed  closer  ,  floating  a  few  feet  behind  him  as  she  tried  to  catch  up.

« "  yes.  "  » she  understood  him  ,  could  he  understand  her  as  well  ?  though  she  had  to  wonder  .  .  .  what  does  heck  mean  ?  that  was  not  a  word  in  her  DATABASE.
