If I should die this very moment, I wouldn't fear For I've never known completeness like being here Wrapped in the warmth of you, loving every breath of you Still my heart this moment, oh it might burst

All this time I've loved you and never known your face All this time I've missed you and searched this race Here is true peace here my heart knows calm Safe in your soul, bathed in your sigh

All I've known, all I've done, all I've felt Was leading to this All I've known, all I've done, all I've felt Was leading to this

Could we stay right here till the end of time Until the earth stops turning Wanna love you until the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for,

The one I've waited for.

A while ago I discovered @nebrasska-alasska amazing fanfic 'Balled of the Golden Phantom' and fell in love with it, so I've been working on this piece to express my appreciation for it and my own headcanons I guess (More appreciation and Sonadow Headcanon below- so pls continue reading :D )

(Spoilers below!)

I wanted to put my spin/interpretation on a particular scene you wrote and I hope you like it! (I really love this story!)

A part of this story I especially loved, @nebrasska-alasska was how you wrote what Shadow experienced when he transformed with Sonic for the first time, and how he got to see Sonic's true soul and raw being. And I was reminded of this song, Gorecki by Lamb, which I felt really evoked the way you described their love in that moment, both in vibe and lyrics. (Just something I wanted to share while making this piece, I hope you agree!)

The moment where Shadow asks the phantom/Sonic 'What was your first impression of me when we met?' and he responds with 'I thought you were the most beautiful creature I had ever laid my eyes upon'. My interpretation was, if this is Sonic, or at least an imprint of him from his last moments manifested by chaos energy, then his answer to Shadow's question (in my interpretation) was based on Super Sonic's first impression of him when they transformed, since that's the form that is being taken right now. (And because the first time he truly 'saw', SHADOW, was when they transformed and he too got to witness Shadow's raw soul.) You put so much beauty into writing what Shadow experienced when he transformed with Sonic, I liked to interpret Sonic's words as coming from the same point of reference, as a kind of bittersweet connection.

The Headcanon

And this is where my own favourite headcanon projects onto it, and sorry haha, but you just really inspired me to finally share something about it and I hope you like it. I love your idea that Shadow was always drawn to the light and goodness in Sonic's soul, and to mention my own Sonadow headcanon, I love the thought that Sonic in return was drawn to Shadow by his rawness and ruthlessness and by what Shadow brought to his life by being his rival.

Realising that Sonic had met someone who could match his power, speed and will all at once, meant that he wasn't the sole most powerful being in the world anymore. And deep down that was something Sonic desperately craved to feel, that he wasn't the only person who could carry the world- someone could match him. Not just match him, but challenge him, push him to be better, be able to witness him fail without losing morale, be able to step in when he wavers. Not need him the way the rest of the world does. The fact that Shadow is his equal, is his rival, means he's the only other one capable of carrying the burden that he does.

He's been his secret lifeline since the day he got to feel their heartbeats as one. When Shadow is around, he feels like nothing can go wrong, like they can achieve anything together, like the world won't end if he breathes for a moment. When Shadow is around everything feels just that little bit safer for Sonic, in a way that he's never realised he needed before. Sonic's presence makes the world feel safe, but Shadow's presence makes Sonic feel safe.

Anyway, sorry I just projected so hard onto your fanfic, I just love it so much and wanted to share my feelings. (So this piece is a combination of your ideas of how their souls merged when they transformed, and some of my headcanon about how I like to think Sonic feels towards Shadow <3 ) Your fanfic hasn't just helped me a lot emotionally recently, it's really inspired me to create which has been a very helpful outlet. (I hope you like this and like my headcanons!) I love your work sm! And I will be doing a much sillier fanart piece for FTSotD next :D

Fanart for Ballad of the Golden Phantom by @nebrasska-alasska!!

I am nowhere near normal about this fic. Every chapter I read has had me scrambling to piece together and adjust my theories, evident by the long blocks of text I leave in the comments during the wee hours of night.

The fic is inspired by Perfect Blue (1997). I'd have probably never otherwise watched it, but it has quickly became one of my favorite movies! Although, not knowing where the fic will take inspiration is probably making my speculations so much nuttier than they would have been had I never seen it.

I thoroughly love how the fic drives me a little bonkers (in the best way!!)

Fanart of the beautifully written second chapter Ballad of the Golden Phantom by @nebrasska-alasska <3

I drew as closely to how I imagined the scene so that’s why it’s drawn a bit differently than what was described sorry! (Also for some reason the quality is butchered idk curse this site >:( /j)

Tysm for the inspiration it gives me something to look forward to practicing my art with! :D

Sometimes a fanon interpretation shared by so many people will gaslight you into thinking YOU're not smart enough to understand it when, in reality, no, the collective of a fandom can indeed just be misinterpreting a character beyond parody. It's not you, it's them

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

i'm still getting settled over there, but i'm proud to announce i've opened my patreon!

so many of you expressed interest in supporting me, and i couldn't be more grateful! while i'm still hammering out the details of what support will look like, so far i know the following:

sketch dumps will now be posted exclusively on patreon

sketch requests will now only be for patrons

nsfw will now be posted exclusively on patreon, uncensored ofc

art will be posted on patreon on early, but i'm not sure within what time frame

i also wanted to share why i've elected to start a patreon. i made this post available for free, but i'm going to go ahead and copy and paste it here too for those interested:

typically i don't like to share details about my life publicly, but given that this page was launched due to changes in my life circumstances i figured it would be apropos.

on tumblr i have vaguely alluded to my poor health, including leaving work to go on disability and having had multiple UR/ER stays over the summer. i have a lot of chronic health conditions i'm currently struggling with, some of which aren't fully diagnosed yet, and the medical care for them eats up a significant amount of time and mental/emotional energy.

i live with gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and autoimmune conditions which have required major life adjustments, immunosuppressing medications, physical therapy, and are pending surgery. i also have multiple mental health conditions, ADHD, and had cancer treatment in fall 2024 (which, while successful, will require life-time monitoring and is made worse by my immunosuppressants).

i'm temporarily leaving the work force in order to undergo exploratory procedures, treatments, and recovery/rehabilitation. during this time i will also be sorting out some professional training, with my ultimate life plan being to open a private practice i can run part-time.

by supporting me on patreon you will not only get access to art i will no longer be posting elsewhere (e.g., sketch dumps, nsfw, requests) but you will also provide much needed financial support as i undergo this care.

your support, and even consideration of your support, is tremendously appreciated! thank you all so much for your care and the community we've built together! 💕

[kerink]

hi all! first i want to thank everyone who's been supporting me over on patreon the last few months; i'm completely floored by all the support! the additional income has done wonders for reducing my financial anxiety and has been a major contributing factor in my ability to continue to focus on my health. 🫶

yesterday i learned that i'll be needing to have surgery again. between that and the flood i've new followers i've gotten in the last month i figured now would be a good time to promote it again.

[werewolf-transgenderism]

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

idk I just think happy queer stories need to be properly labeled so I can be warned beforehand to not get invested in the main ship because there won't be a culminating catharsis of mutual corruption and self-betrayal crystalizing into an inevitable murder-suicide :/ . like I don't think happy endings in queer media shouldn't be "allowed" to exist or whatever I just think tbh honestly to be honest that those creators need to think and be more responsible and let me have my boundary of nottttt wanting to see that. this is because I feel it's really important for me to see myself represented and reflected positively on screen and the real truth of my lived experience is that I'm gay and evil and I'm not going to make it.

the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.
