THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM.

hello! my name is spark, i’m 20+, and this is an rp and ask blog for shadow the hedgehog from the sonic the hedgehog franchise! i am frequently lurking, but pretty slow when it comes to responding to threads and asks, so please be patient! below are the abridged guidelines for this blog. you can find them in full here.

this blog is anti-drama and anti-callout. the only exception being if someone is actively being put in danger, harassed, or abused.

please do not follow or interact if you are under 18.

personals are welcome to interact through asks! just please do not reblog threads that you aren't part of as it makes it harder for me to follow rp replies.

this blog may contain sensitive topics including but not limited to: suicide, murder, gore, extreme violence, animal cruelty, strong language, and suggestive themes.

mun =/= muse. i'm a lot nicer and squishier than shadow is, i promise lol!

my tagging convention for sensitive and triggering content will be #___ for ts.

i have no triggers and no notable squicks, but please let me know if there’s something i should be mindful of in our threads for your own comfort.

if you want to block me for any reason, please hard block me instead of soft block. it saves a lot of confusion and potential awkwardness.

i am primarily game-based with a particular focus on sonic adventure 2. all other sources are heavily cherry-picked.

all icons are sourced from the games, shows, and comics. although unlikely, if i have somehow mistaken someone's fanart for canon material, please let me know. i do not intend to use anyone's fanwork without consent.

imagining, too, the emotion shadow must feel when he begins to remember his real promise made to maria to protect the earth. realizing that she'd want it and its people safe, even if their behavior would have crushed her (even if their cruelty is the sole reason she's dead).

then thinking about how shadow gradually opens up because he finds friends and reminders of The Good in people like sonic, amy, rouge, and omega... thinking about how maybe the earth shouldn't be hated for the cruel people who live on it, but loved for the people who defy that cruelty and fight to make it better, even at impossible odds.

i hope you've all been well. ♥

Mau?

Hello, hello! Sort of! Things have stabilized a bit, and the news about SxShG has really been stirring my muse for this guy. c:

i don't want to play sxsh on switch bc the graphics are usually not great by comparison and the digital deluxe for ps4 comes with arguably more bonus content (2 more skins, an art book, an extra level).
