Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY
moon day is 20th July!!!
Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!
Happy moon day to all who celebrate
This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.
MOON DAY MONDAY THIS MONTH NOT A DRILL!!!!!

People are talking about how Maria add nothing to shadow's character and I lowkey agree.
I like Maria, but I also think she really only exists to show that Shadow lost his childhood innocence and as a vessel for his grief and loneliness so they can justify why he's antisocial and has no friends and doesn't want to talk to anyone.
She's not a real person. We don't know anything about her, except that she's blonde, she was sick and she lived in space. There is nothing about her character that actually matters at all, Shadow could have lost literally any other generic family member or associated loved one, and it would not have made a difference.
There is nothing about Maria, as a person that is unique to her that makes her loss more impactful. If sonic lost tails It would mean everything. When shadow lost Maria, you could replace Maria with anyone and have gotten the exact same effect.
I think the movies tried harder to make her a real person but she's still at her core just a plot device for Shadow. I wanna know more about her. What was she like? What was her favorite food? Was she afraid of the dark or did she enjoy spooky stories? Who was she really? What was it about her that made her so special and unique and so loved? What makes Maria so impactful to him specifically that Shadow literally refuses to admit his attachments to other people.
Not to invoke the devil or whatever, but Archie comics kind of sort of did this with Hope Kintobor and it's like we see the aftermath of why Shadow is the way he is, and we watch him heal, but none of that has anything to do with Maria. She's almost mythical and annoyingly angelic in her portrayal. I'm kinda tired of the fallen angel Maria. I wanna know her as a person like REALLY know her.
Op, I've been saving this post of yours in my drafts for *checks* months... because I've had thoughts, but didn't know how to express them, or even, if I should. I am a little worried that I'll be derailing your very real frustrations with the dead wife/fridged character trope, but I do want to add a slightly different perspective on what might have been the original intention of our lack of info on Maria. In SA2, in the original game, I think not getting a chance to know Maria is by design, and subsequently, part of the tragedy.
Whatever relationship Shadow did or did not have with Maria (which, I would argued, it was implied in the game before they reconnected the timeline that Shadow didn't actually get a real chance to know her and that I very much explore here if you are interested.), his recollection of her and that relationship was destroyed when Gerald Robotnik decided that his grief and rage were more important than anything else, including his grandaughter. Japanese: "Based on the origional data, I have finally completed Shadow. I also completely control his memories. I leave everything to Shadow." English: "Based on my original projections I was able to complete my project, Shadow. I designed his mind to be perfect, pure. I will leave everything to him." Shadow's brain was scrubbed and rewired to only remember most clearly Maria's death and Gerald's plans for destruction. Any other memories of Maria as she was died with Gerald and all the others aboard the ARK. Not even Ivo really knows her, and that might be because he was small when his cousin went to space, or because Maria herself was small and thus hadn't developed a full personality yet. The people that got to know her the fullest, as she was when she was most herself, are gone. We are left with nothing but pieces to pick up and shreds of inference. Much like Shadow himself.
We, like him, are suppose to have complicated thoughts and feelings for this girl we don't know, because he has complicated thoughts and feelings for this girl he doesn't really know.
And he loves her- as much as he can- as much as he knows how- as much as his damaged brain can let him. If nothing else, he loves the idea of her- the concept of that love and freedom and hope and joy and care and sacrifice. He must have loved her for more than just the ideas she represents to him once, right? She must have loved him, too. She sacrificed herself for him.
The clearest memory he has of her, across every game, is watching her die. Maybe the specifics change - the location, her style of dress, the way she did her hair- maybe they change, but still, the clearest memory he has is watching her die, and him not being able to do a damn thing about it.
Not her favorite food, not her favorite stories, not even her favorite colour.
Just her death. Just him not being able to do anything. Just the gap of where his genuine love for her was taken out of him and replaced with something horrid. That is a very, very specific sort of grief, and I wish Sega explored it more.
Watching ANYONE get murdered in front of you is going to stick with you, whether you knew them for decades or 10 minutes or never. For shadow, all he knew was her. She was his first experience of goodness, and she was murdered o! someone else's whim for no reason besides *protecting him.* Goodness will be punished, that's what that says, so when gerald fucks with his head, its all fucked.
Youre right, maria could have been anyone, but it was maria, so its her. No one knows her like he did, and thats why i really dislike the sxshg story. We the audience should NOT be receiving closure, especially if shadow doesnt. Instead of figuring out how to give maria a personality and story arc and all these details, we should be seeing shadow's grief explored better. What does it look like to mourn someone no one else knows? To remember them wrong? To might not even know them well? What does his grief look like when not even the audience observing him can know what he knows?

You Guys Should Check Out My Shadow/Maria Zine
Over a year ago, me and some of my friends had the brilliant idea of creating our own Shadow and Maria focused fanzine. A few days ago, that finally became a reality. I’m pretty proud of the talent we managed to pull in for this project, despite all the issues that plagued it through its entire development. I’m also proud of the fact that we didn’t rely on Twitter at all to attract potential…
