something i can’t stop obsessing about is how shadow criticizes and belittles sonic for treating everything like a game, for not taking things seriously, for acting without thinking, or for thinking all the wrong things and acting accordingly.

BUT.

shadow is a player just like sonic. all the fighting they did, shadow got a lot of amusement out of it. it‘s the most expressive we see him EVER and it’s because he knows he’s winning. he loves winning.

im just. ough. they are just such mirrors. such. two sides of the same coin.

sonic plays because it’s fun to play. he loves the unknown, he loves not knowing what comes next and he loves being surprised and the challenge of having to adapt. he plays to experience the game.

shadow plays because he wants to win. he loves being superior, he loves knowing what comes next and most of all if what comes next is his victory and/or his opponents failure(s). he plays to win, and to win only. if there’s no way to win, to be crowned superior, then he’s not interested in the game. however, the game also needs to be challenging, which is why he loves fighting sonic. sonic is a challenge to be overcome and he gets a kick out of the slight uncertainty if he might not be able to win, but at the same time, wining against sonic is such a great accomplishment he relishes the challenge in their fights.

that is why hes smiling and smirking and posing and doing stupid jokes at sonic. he’s mocking him and flaunting his superiority. he could’ve been done with him faster, maybe, but it’s fun to play; and to rub his superiority into the fakers face (literally. he used sonic as a fucking surfboard on the ground. face down.).

because if he doesn’t do that, then what is he? the average life form? the normal hedgehog?

To me that’s one of the reasons Shadow finds Sonic so frustrating. In his mind, Sonic brings out the worst in him.

He’s so serious and laser focused on his goal, but whenever Sonic appears it always seems to awaken a competitive, even childish side of Shadow. Maybe it’s because his ego won’t let him, maybe it’s because Sonic is the only person that can give him a challenge, but Shadow just can’t help himself.

So he gets sidetracked, he’s briefly distracted from his current objective and loses himself in the fight; he smiles, he taunts, he has fun. And Shadow hates that. He hates the effect that hedgehog has on him, but he also loves it and needs it way more than he realizes.

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Book marketing sucks bc everyone hates being advertised to and I hate advertising to people but also if i don’t talk about my book nobody will know it exists 😩

All the reasons you might absolutely HATE my queer seafaring fantasy book 👀

🌊 Blood of the Gods is all fantasy and no historical. People expect historical fiction when they pick up a seafaring book—but Blood of the Gods subverts that expectation.

🌊 Queerness and religion DO mix—and they mix seamlessly in this book! Blood of the Gods is not for the pearl-clutchers who believe queerness is sinful.

🌊 all art is political—but Blood of the Gods is especially so. The villain’s quest to Make Midir Great Again is nothing but destructive and damaging to all humankind.

🌊 “Wren L. Rivers pulls no punches.” — a comment I’ve gotten from multiple different reviewers and readers! You will cry. You will laugh. You’ll throw the book across the room, but then immediately run over and pick it back up, because you just HAVE to see what happens next.

This book is a pride month MUST-READ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
