You can call me Pearl.
On this blog I mostly just post my random thoughts about whatever I'm currently watching/reading/playing/interested in.
For my art you can follow my side blog mispearlart
I mostly reblog posts to my other side blog mispearlreblogs (I post almost daily to that one)
Asks are turned off because I got too much spam. I may disable reblogs to most of my posts because they're personal, but don't take that to mean I don't like interaction! Any posts where reblogs are enabled are purposefully left so. I love discussing opinions about fiction and characters!
You can see my old (more detailed) intro post here.
Okay seriously, what the heck did Lanolin do that she had to apologize for? Tangle saying she was still ticked off at her had me SO confused, like bro YOU were the one who hid everything from her, what right do you have to be mad at her? What did she even do other than her job??
Ohhhh I absolutely loved Scrapnik Island oh my gosh I wish there was a game and a short film and an entire 50-issue long comic with these vibes and that gorgeous art aaaaaaa
Until anything in canon directly contradicts it, I'm going to headcanon that Nate is from an alternate universe/possible future where Cole and Vania got together🖤🤍
Man, I gotta say, out of all the comic original Sonic characters written under Ian Flynn so far, Whisper might be the first one I actively dislike. I thought Tangle would be the one to annoy me more but even though she's such a Disney cartoon protagonist I do like her. But Whisper actually just... sucks as a character, man. She doesn't fit in the Sonic world design-wise, her whole personality is that she's traumatized, and she always has such extreme reactions it all just feels manufactured. My sister told me she's apparently the second most popular original character after Surge (who's been great so far), and that kinda doesn't surprise me; she's a very "modern" kind of character I can see the current generation of fans eating up.
None of this would have annoyed me as much if it wasn't that out of all the original characters Ian Flynn created, it had to be these two that have come closest to being official canon characters. Again Tangle is fine, but I'm really not convinced of her and Whisper being this close dynamic duo and Whisper is just so boring and irritating on her own. Before them we had Bunnie and Antoine and the other Freedom Fighters! Monkey Khan and Julie-Su, Fiona and Scourge... And heck if we wanna talk characters created entirely by Flynn, I honestly found those deer sisters from Rebooted, Cassia and Clove, way more interesting and would've loved to see more of them. Or Razor and Coral, they were adorable. Or Shard, he was really cool! And all the Eggman followers that were introduced like Maw and the ox guy and that crazy fangirl gerbil. There were so many enjoyable Archie characters and Flynn was usually so good at introducing new ones and instantly making them likable... Why of all characters did it have to be Whisper that Sega finally accepted into canon instead?
Okay I legit NEVER dream about fictional characters, like ever, last time was when I was 9 years old or something, but last night I dreamed of Espio the chameleon of all people. I was helping him kick some people out of his secret base which was in my backyard? I think? Also we took a bunch of selfies with the other Sonic characters but I kept getting cut out and it hurt my feelings. That part was much closer to the dreams I usually have lol
Reading the IDW comics now and even though Mighty and Ray are gone (😭) the Chaotix still instantly make me smile and giggle whenever they show up, I love them so much.
Also the metal virus arc has taught me that Espio will literally die of loneliness if he ever lost Charmy and Vector permanently.
Okay ngl, this might be the greatest Sonic cover ever, it looks so fire!
Maaan I can't believe we lost Geoffrey just when he was getting interesting but kept Naugus. Not even the voices of his previous lives made it lol. Also: Wally??😆
LMAO WAIT SERIOUSLY?? This is how they want to resolve that story line? "And then Naugus runs away like a little bitch"?😂😂
But you don't remember your parents or uncle or the reason you were even fighting with Sonic, so really what's the point? Ugh I'm gonna keep complaining about this the whole way through aren't I...
So Eggman was never even Julien in this world, they're fr replacing everything with just what was in the show and the games.
Dang Sonic. Just because the king didn't always let you get your way in the old world doesn't mean he was a "total jerk", that's kind of harsh. Agree that it's nice that he's better now though I guess. Except, you know, 50% of his family is gone now. Hell Elias probably never even existed in this world UAUAAAGHGH THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!
HOLY CRAP COULD IT BE? SALLY ACORN IS FULLY CLOTHED?? FUCKING FINALLYYY!
I wish they could at least FEEL like there's more things they forgot but they actually think everything they remember is all there is!😭 Again what's the point of having them remember at all then?!
Ayooo Rotor isn't a 55 year old invalid anymore! I'm so happy for him, bro is a real freedom fighter again!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, BIG IS AN ABSOLUTE UNIT I LOVE HIM!
It's so funny how they're showing him being on the council when he's not even allowed to remember every other person that was on the council or the reason it was even started in the first place!😩
AWWWWwwwwwoohhhhh no this is still just sad, I'm so depressed rn, rip Sonic's parents, their son and brother don't even know they lost them😭😭😭😭😭
Awww another cute reunion hug but dang I'm sorry Antoine looks naked without his uniform, the straps aren't really helping- who the heck is that?
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME??? Fucking MUTTSKI got to stay while Jules and Bernie didn't?!?! And he's sentient now?? What is this bullshit get this useless little freak outta here!🤬
YEAH ME TOO GUYS
In the words of Jax from tadc: "This is dumb and weird."
It's sweet to comfort him with the fact that he didn't actually die, poor guy.
Oh hey I guess everyone can do spin dashes now lol, gotta make them like they're playable characters I guess.
AYO?? WEREHOG SONIC?? ARE WE DOING WEREHOG SONIC IN THIS ARC?🤩
A doctor? Chuck who the fuck do you MEAN, yall don't HAVE a doctor anymore, Dr. Quack is freaking gone!! Seriously, does Mobotropolis even have anyone living in it anymore?? No parents, no council, no doctor.... aaagghhhh-
Oh um. Idk no offense to the artist but this isn't really the best art style to be reintroducing Bunnie with, she looks off.
I skipped the Megaman crossover dawg, don't tell me I actually have to go and read it.
New Sonic Universe comics too, but this arc wasn't all that fun to be honest, the robot pirates were annoying. Bean made it tolerable though.
Hahaha Amy not even hiding that she wants Marine gone😆
Been procrastinating on giving my reactions to the Sonic Rebooted comic because honestly aside from just being inherently depressing because of how it happened, the story just hasn't been that interesting. I know it's basically like setting up a whole new comic where the characters all have altered backstories to the classic era that need to be established, and a lot of new characters have to be introduced to repopulate the world since like 90% of the cast were all erased out of existence, and I would be all for that... but the fact that this "new" iteration doesn't last longer than like 50 issues, it's hard to get invested in any of it. At this point I just want to finish it so I can start the IDW comics already.
Anyway I'm gonna make an attempt to catch up to what I've read so far, just for posterity's sake.
Wait what's the news about matt and Rebecca's movie?
The rights got acquired by a studio in Thailand, Bangkok called Monk studios! I’ll just link Matts tweet about it https://x.com/radrappy/status/2054407210680398129?s=46&t=76eN5txo0Yj0evEJ9SCucw
Man the whole idea of the Rebooted comics has me so depressed I don't think I'll ever be able to fully enjoy them without feeling sad... like the fact that the characters don't even just not remember so many of their family and friends and events, but don't even KNOW they forgot them! Having them remember that they had a whole other life before the Genesis Wave but being unable to even let them mourn all the people who were erased from existence.... It's just so sad. This would have been at least that much more bearable if we could've had Sally cry about Elias and her mom disappearing rather than just that she had been a robot, and same for Sonic and Tails with their parents, and Knuckles with his people and Julie-Su..... Man, I think this actually might take the cake with bummer endings of media that were canceled before they could finish their story plots, cause ironically it actually having a continuation that basically acts like everything that happened before never happened is even worse than if the comic had just stopped.
Finallyyyy they're here, I missed them so much!! I need this after all the depressing stuff that's been happening in the main comic!😫
They're so great ughh
Rare shot of the Chaotix detective trio actually looking cool haha!
Mightyyyy my brooo we are so back, they're so cute!!
RAY STOP NO MORE DEPRESSION! You know Mighty would never think that!😭
I knew this was likely to happen but NOOOO I SAID NO DEPRESSION DAMMIT!
STOP ATGHG MIGHTY IS NOT ALLOWED TO CRY!!😭😭😭
Bro Jack is such an asshole😆
MY BOI IS WIELDING A TANK HELL YEAH!!
HE IS PISSED! (Do NOT freaking kill off Tilly!!)
This is so cute hnngh but I knew they'd come up with a reason for them not bringing her back with them😩 If I didn't know Rebooted was coming I'd be so excited about the next time she shows up and potentially joins the Chaotix officially, but I don't know if she would count as one of the characters that will be purged or not...
Also what is Bunnie doing please tell meeee!!
Aw, it's nice that Mina apologized at least. But girl stop with the propaganda songs.
Dang, that's so sad, props to Sally's mom protecting her husband💔
Yooooo this is crazyyy I really want Jules to turn back to normal but yeah they're too smart to fall for this, go Sonic's parents!!
Oh I am HERE for this, possessed Geoffrey yesss!
What the f- WHY CAN'T WE GO ONE FREAKING ARC WITHOUT SCREWING KNUCKLES OVER?! STOP RUINING HIS LIFE OMGGG LEAVE HIM ALONE!!
The Tasmanian devil guy is back??? Bro you're interesting but we don't have time for you!
The fact that they didn't even mention Julie-su by name here..... I'm so flipping terrified
WHAT THE FUCK? No no no this can't be how they get rid of all the echidnas no noooo!!
Bro the fact that he's being so much nicer to her now after hearing her cry and remembering how mean he used to be to Antoine and then promising himself to be there for her from now on, I can't💔😭
SONIC NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR JOKES HIS PEOPLE WERE LITERALLY ALL JUST GENOCIDED!!
THE CHAOTIX ARE BACK! Oh please, please I'm begging you, please make it all better, please magically fix everything with the power of your wholesome broship pleeeeease!😭😭😭😭
No...... No no no no don't do this. Oh my God I'm actually actually gonna cry. This can't be how it ends, you can NOT tell me we will never see Julie-su again.... No no this is too cruel, that last panel.... I don't know how to process this....
What Sonic says in the second panel really feels like the writers trying to assure us that they'll try to find a way to make it up to us for how things turned out😭
Wow, she figured that out quick! But does it really even matter anymore? Does anything happening right now matter?😔
NOOOOO IT'S HAPPENING! I can't handle it bro, I can't take it! So many plot threads and characters we'll never see again and THEY WON'T EVEN REMEMBER!?!? We couldn't even have Knuckles mourning Julie-Su or his family or Charmy reacting to losing Saffron? I CAN'T TAKE IT THIS IS TOO DEPRESSING, SCREW YOU KEN PENDERS, SCREW YOUUUU!!😭😢😭😫🤬😭😫🤬
