god just. maria robotnik. youre a 13 year old girl and youre terminally ill and you know youre going to die and youre tired all the time and you just want to go home to earth (have you ever even been?) but suddenly you have this little baby brother and you love him but the doctors keep taking him away for tests and you dont get to see him all day and when he comes back hes scruffy and bruised and doesnt want to play or watch cartoons. but you love him so so much you make the decision to die at 13 years old to give him a chance to live. you put your baby brother in the escape pod and theres a soldier pointing a gun at you and you know youre going to die but its worth it if it means he can live. he's your baby brother and you love him so much that at 13 years old you choose to die so that he can live. just. maria robotnik.
She made herself into shadow’s only safe heaven and protector, maybe because she knew what it was like to not have one.
IM NOT DEAD I PROMMY
I just have life stuff happening. I’m doing artfight tho so HERES SOME PEOPLES I’VE ATTACKED SO FAR!!1!1 posted these on other socials,, hoping I’m not spamming anyone.
Also, long post ahead cuz picturs.
Hmsmmdnfmcc evil sonic???
I messed around with a random brush and got this man.
there’s something i’ve noticed in some people (myself included) in the sonic community where the relationship they have with maria always has this particular sense of grief about it
like we see certain types of art of her and we all kind of collectively lose our minds because it Hurts. but it’s a different kind of hurt with her than it is for characters we’ve lost in other media. it’s this kind of visceral kneejerk reaction as if we’re the ones who should be grieving her, either with or on shadow’s behalf.
maybe it’s just me, but i can’t really name another character who causes that kind of feeling? sure i’ve had other characters’ deaths absolutely destroy me before too, but with maria it really is different in a way that’s hard to describe. is it because her and shadow’s story is so much older than most others in recent memory, so it’s had time to really take root and become personal? is it because something about it strikes a particular kind of subconscious nerve that media rarely manages to pull off?
the grief isn’t really the world-stopping sharp pain of a fresh loss like it is in those cases, it’s more like a really old scar that hurts on rainy days or twinges when you move a funny way and reminds you it’s there. it’s always going to be there. it’s grief that ran its course without us, so the worst of it has already passed. we know it happened but we weren’t there for the injury or the stitches or the recovery. we’re just left kind of looking at this scar left over and wondering
we know maria but we don’t know her at all. she loved shadow, and she loved the earth so she would have loved us, and we love her, but it’s like the love of waking up from a dream of another life entirely and mourning the loss of all you had in it.
maybe that’s what it feels like to shadow. maybe that’s why we feel this way too
I feel like some of us grew to be fond of Maria because of how often we see her as a representation of Shadow’s “better times” so to speak. So we draw/write those two being friends and whatnot as a way to see Shadow happy. And then came the question, if Shadow liked her so much, there must be a reason right? We know so little of her and yet we see how she has wormed her way into people’s heart so deeply that they will destroy everything from the pain of loosing her.
So we theorize how her personality was like, how she interacted with people, how much of the Robotnik flare she may have inherited, etc. Then we grow attached to those interpretations because her being more than just a martyr means she could have a chance. But she doesn’t, because we know before we’ve ever seen her that she’s dead.
So then we make AUs and possible what ifs on how she would’ve survived, on how she could be brought back. We make her the future we know she deserved, try to give her the life she would’ve wanted. We make worlds where she can have fun and interact with the rest of the cast, who would’ve loved her as much as shadow does, and explore the world just like she dreamed.
But the cannon is always there, no matter how much we create, the reality is that we just don’t know how she was truly like. All we have is the idolized/manipulated perception of her, so we will probably never know who she was. She most likely was never meant to be more than just a catalyst for everything that happened in the narrative.
Which, for me, is where this feeling of grief stems from. We care for a character that is doomed by the narrative, not only in her fate but also in the fact that she will never be more than a fuzzy memory. Unlike dead characters like cosmo, who have a story before their death, Maria barely has anything before the ARK raid. Even then, it’s always centered around other characters. She wasn’t meant to be a character, but some of the fandom yearned to make her one anyway.
We don’t mourn her loss, we grieve the fact that we will never get to meet her in the first place.
