#thoam lore

I went back to issue 7 where shadow turned to dark shadow the first time and there's a moment when he says to sonic 'consume power', 'fix me' and 'return'

Now that could've been shadow telling sonic to remove the dark gaia energy so he could return to normal but i think that was dark gaia speaking through shadow and telling sonic to consume her energy so all her energy was in sonic and she could be fixed by having him return her energy to her

That also connects with a theory i have that dark gaia will talk through shadow again to ask chip, sonic and the gang for help

Excited to see if this happens or not and i love the new page with everyone protecting sonic with the power of teamwork so cool!

GOOD EYE you are my favourite reader now 🥇 (joke)

I was just wondering, I know they've called Dark Gaia "The Thousand Tongued Devil", I was wondering if Light Gaia had any similar epithets?

Chaos, Shadow, Solaris. All three of them were either hurt or their loved ones were hurt, and then were imprisoned because the world was afraid of what these immensely powerful beings might do in retaliation of that hurt. They're awakened/released and immediately want to exact revenge on those that hurt them, and anyone that gets in their way of that revenge.

Light Gaia and Dark Gaia? They were NAPPING. They weren't sitting there in the core of the planet stewing and awaiting freedom to exact vengeance on the world, they are part of a cycle of "death" and rebirth, keeping the world in a constant motion of progress and change by not letting anything remain the same too long to become stagnant.

And then Eggman rudely awakens them— when it's not "morning" yet— for his own selfish ends by punching them hard enough to break their bed into splinters. Honestly, who WOULDN'T be upset when they were dead to the world and then awakened by a punch to the face?

Dark Gaia's reaction is COMPLETELY VALID in my opinion

good questoin

at the beginning the central part of my idea for thoam was exploring sonics emotional journey through the story. how turning into a monster affected him. most people would say the heart is the symbolic center of our emotions....... in a double meaning way it is also where our souls are.

so the heart of a monster not only refers to the emotions of sonic in this journey, but it also refers to his heroic soul behind the monstrous appearance.

oh the canon part was referring to black arms shadow (and it remains a FACT i did NOT lie. dark shadow is NOT black arms shadow.)

as for sonic. the design back then was a silly idea from way back, so don't think too hard about it. I've unfortunately been very inconsistent with keeping any "true dark gaia sonic form" hidden, because undeniably it is probably THE REASON for a lot of ppl to even get interested into the comic (myself included)

over the years i made around??? 30??? different "final forms" for sonic and only recently (when making sonic's ref) have i managed to say "that's enough. no more redesigns"

shadow definitely could comment on sonics fluffy coat but chaos would dry up before that happened
