Sonictober 2025 Day 8! Theme: Monstrous. Shadow’s never really considered being a “monster” as something to be proud of, but when his friends rope him into a holiday celebrating just that, maybe he can find a newfound appreciation for it (and free candy)?

(I am in no way saying I believe everything in any of these because I haven't even had the chance to read all of these, I simply found them interesting upon skimming and thought I'd share for anyone else interested in reading these sorts of things. While I might not agree with everything of any writer etc, peoples, I think it's still a fascinating thing to explore deeply any perspective, especially one different from my own in some ways. I will make a separate post on some of my fav quotes on the topics from my skimming of them later and attach it. Please do feel free to make this a conversation and share your own favorite quotes, posts, etc expressions in general on the topic. Thank you!)
