hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i’m just gonna talk about a thing i like
Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, “Trans people are cool!”
^ this is all from the wiki btw
I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.
Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman’s grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria’s soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I’m reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.
Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman’s grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman’s grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.
With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.
He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.
So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.
Why would I lie about that? Here it is.
Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don’t care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,
and then in the next game it’s just fine but evil now(???)
and after THAT it’s not evil anymore but it’s fully intact:
What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we’re getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

dysphoria, bloodwork
Got my bloodwork results back. But it seems like I’ll have to do another test for liver function. Don’t know if I want it since it’s not necessary but on the other hand it’s nice to have a pre-HRT result to compare it to.
I’m also waiting for my estradiol to arrive, and it probably will, but I have the fear that it got seized. It makes me feel really nervous and that together with the fact I still have to decide if I will do the liver function test makes me feel bad. I’m also feeling dysphoric in general even though I felt euphoric yesterday. I’m laying in bed right now and listening to music and that helps.
Got the passport application turned in. Was nervous about the postal clerk saying something about the gender marker change, but he was nice and didn’t even mention it. The process was fast, although it was a bit expensive. I opted for the expediated service to ensure that it’s processed within the next couple of weeks.
still alive
dysphoria
shortening this to say I have a profound and all encompassing hatred of having a vagina. every day is another layer of sanity peeled back. I’m so worn out
genuinely been so happy the past few weeks. i think there’s a reason why…

log into pharmacy web portal
about to schedule a vaccination
computer asks for my sex assigned at birth
ask it whether it really needs that or if it’s social hegemony of meanings
it doesn’t understand
explain the difference between real mechanisms and false associations
it pulls up a pop-up and says it’s relevant
read the pop-up
it’s societal hegemony of meanings imposing false associations even when mechanism is well known

- I’ve been fighting the lonely too, hope it gets better for you.
I will never forgive Sonic Team for turning Shadow into a G.U.N. agent in Sonic 06.
And to think Sonic fans are trying to rehabilitate that game. Sonic fans are waaaay to forgiving of this series.
Anyway, call me a boomer, but Sonic Adventure 2 was the last decent 3D Sonic game. Even then the Adventure games had a lot of problems, but at least they still felt like Sonic games.
A lot of it had to do with Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) plus some dummied out lines of 06
spoiler
Shadow makes up with GUN’s head honcho who turns out was Maria’s idk “she was like a sister to me” it’s odd and main game you can sort of make peace with him. Not until expert mode where you finally bury the hatchet and he asks you to attend his granddaughters wedding. It’s actually quite touching but something I doubt most people would know since you gotta get all 71 A ranks to unlock in that game. Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) also really was about shadow burying the past when at the end he discards his photo of Maria and Gerlad.
Dummied out line from 06 was shadow heading there as a favor to the pres but idk seems to me it was more looking into Rouge and if she was ok.
Modern day GUN is gone and I hear forces has to do with that but I’ve no clue if I’ll get to that game or not. 06 is great, it is probably the best continuation of shadows story possibly finishing it but then shadow gens came out so idk
I didn’t even like Adventure 2 because it didn’t have open world segments like Adventure 1 lol
i agree about last good 3d game until like the 2010s
Heroes slander
Is that the one where you make your own OC?
heroes stinks
settle down little puppy
did the achievement for only using the gravity gun in ravenholm. valve is so good. shooting saw blades at zombies never gets boring
Wanted to get ahead of the rumors spreading about me and it’s true I am both really hot and have massive rizz. The shy insecure virgin thing was all an act apparently sorry for fooling everyone myself included.
fr tho some weird chisme about me being a player at work startedOn further reflection it’s my bass pro shop hat that is giving off this vibe for me I know it
They heard you were getting all the shadow the hedgehog endings
I already got all the routes this year I just doing it again because I love shadow the hedgehog (2005) that and to try out reloaded 1.2 Fr though I doubt my small interest would interest anyone.
Just remembering when I first found this site and set my pronouns the way they are for “”““opsec reasons””“” lmao
I have since… transed my gender? Woke dogs (profile pic is… related somehow but not the obvious way) don’t have genders, except when they do ofc. [Laws of non-contradiction and the excluded middle] fans SEETHING
Down with cis
No no no, I’m using they/them pronouns for opsec, I’m not trans or anything!
(I did this too)
My bio (when I made my account/picked they/them) was originally something like “cishet, just liking gender neutral pronouns lately”, what a silly goose.
I spent two years avoiding using pronouns elsewhere on the internet because I didn’t think I was trans and that it would trivialize others’ use of them. Before that I worried a little bit about being asked my pronouns IRL because I wouldn’t know how to answer, but never even considered why that would be something I’d be unsure about.
Thoughts that every cis person surely has, right? 😉
