foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing
absolutely. one of my favourite examples of this is “would you kindly”
All you guys talking about “zodiac signs.” Fuck you. I was never even born. I was created in a lab.
IM SORRY WHA-
HE’S I M M O R T A L ????
his whole “ultimate lifeform” deal is less “ultimate power” and more “he can’t die of old age or disease because he was made as a prototype to cure a man’s dying granddaughter”
And in a what-if future in the comics, he just sort of waits Sonic out.
Every once in a while I’m like “Why would you make the ultimate lifeform a black and red hedgehog though?” Then I realized, if I were a scientist making a 100% immortal being I’d definitely bring life to my edgy fursona.
test tube baby or no, shadow’s still a gemini
Bitches piss on Dr. Eggman’s wife and be like Can’t help being a Gemini!
but… you do understand the actual reason behind his coloration, right? shadow’s an alien hybrid, which us possibly where the immortality factor came from in the first place. what i idly wonder is what shadow may have looked like before the black arms dna was infused.
i’ve heard theories that he might’ve been yellow, or even pure white - which could explain that small patch of white fluff on his chest. that’s the mystery here, i’d think
Yes. Also cool theories. But yeah.
I am aware of the actual reason for his coloration. I know all about the black arms. I played Shadow the Hedgehog. A lot. Thank you though.
The tea is that Irish names arenβt that bizarre and Irish spelling isnβt particularly wild in the grand scheme of languages, anglophones are just used to anglicising names and y'all think Irish is some fiddly dee dee funny fairy language and not likeβ¦an actual living language under threat
βItβs not pronounced how itβs spelled!!β
Yes it is. Youβre just assuming, for whatever reason, that english spelling and pronunciation standards should apply to a language from a completely different language family
This is what Iβm talking about. Why are the Brits so proud of their ignorance
Y'all have really got to stop doing this. Take a day off from mocking threatened minority languages. Americans and Brits have killed hundreds of languages already, this is not a good look from monolingual speakers of the worldβs dominant language
My gran is Irish, and both my gran and my mum have Irish names, and I come across a lot of this. Like yes thatβs not how youβd pronounce it in English, but the wordβs not fucking English, OK?
Shockingly a language thatβs not English isnβt spelled like English.
gaelic orthography is much more consistent than english. like not to be contrarian but if thereβs any language thatβs just spelled βhoweverβ itβs english.
