The "I just love Latinas" Shadow meme makes me really happy because when I was a little kid, I knew about Shadow and his history with Maria, but I didn't actually know what she looked like at the time, so I always assumed she was Mexican too :')
#i talk#Now whenever I see the meme I remember that and I think ''Of course he does'' :')#It's still a nice thing to think about#Though recently I've been thinking about Maria teaching Shadow about Day of the Dead#and then Shadow's perspective on things being colored by that after Maria's death#It's a bittersweet thought#but this little Sonic tidbit is something I've held close to my heart for a long time#I'd still really love to draw Maria in some of those dresses someday with marigolds#Maybe one of Maria's grandparents on the other side of her family was Mexican#or maybe whoever Dr. Robotnik was married to once upon a time was Mexican#''But Maria is blonde with blue eyes—'' brother two of my little cousins have bright blue eyes and one has blonde hair#Anyways#Sonic talk#I'm watching Sonic#Also I love that Shadow was watching a telenovela with Stone in Sonic 3 I was just like *clenches fist* All part of my Latino Shadow agenda#I love little me's line of thought being ''I have family members named Maria and we're Mexican so that means Maria is Mexican too!''#Flawless logic.#Ughhhh I love Shadow so much dude I'm feeling all sappy over the Sonic series today
