My partner said he brought home Shadamy flavored dessert:

It was good! I was surprised that key lime and strawberry worked so well together. :)

Tagged by @luv-again - Thank you! <3 I won't lie, I totally had to look up what this was about. Here's a blurb I made for my weekly writing practice post. I was playing around with bigger posts, so I guess good timing?

He narrowed his eyes at the screen, as if judging every name that rolled through the credits. "Not the worst, I suppose. I can see why you wanted to skip the third fight scene in the protagonist's room. It made no sense," he confidently concluded. There was an awkward pause. "That was not a fighting scene," she finally answered, somewhat stunned that she even had to say that. He looked straight at her. "So what was it?" he demanded. He disliked not knowing something, almost as much as he disliked being contradicted. "No, absolutely not! We are not doing this trope on Valentine's Day, of all days!" she yelled angrily as she rocketed off her own couch to glare down at her uninvited guest. Said guest looked up, unamused and unstartled. "What's Valentine's Day?" he gruffly questioned. She tugged her ears down painfully and growled loudly. "Valentine's Day is the reason I am holed up in my house watching questionable romance movies by myself in the dark with chocolate that I bought all for myself!!" she blurted out in one breath. A ragged, deep inhale followed as tears welled up in her eyes. He rolled his shoulders while contemplating the sudden explosion of words. "So, it's a movie day," he concluded. "NO!!" she screamed, stomping her foot down. "It's supposed to be a day about love and flowers and spending time together!! Not that I would personally know!!" He looked around her dark living room. "You forgot the flowers," he mused, smugly.

Not sure who to tag. I'll throw my tags into the void for whoever wants them.

Late writing practice for last week, but hey, I at least got something done. The quality of these is meh - didn't really have a lot of time. Week 12 - Blurbo Practice Day 1 - Her 27th birthday was next week, marked on her calendar in bold blue strokes. She stared at her phone and thought again about the promise she'd made years ago on a silly, desperate whim. For a while she regretted making it. As time passed, she started to dread it. But now, she wondered. Would it be such a bad idea? Did he even remember the text sent all those years ago, where they promised to marry each other if they weren't already married by now?

Day 2 - He is the oncoming storm. A gust of wind through the rolling fields. A shock of electricity across the desert. A loud boom echoing through the canyons. He is a force that cannot be stopped, cannot be tamed, and cannot be comprehended. Until chilidogs are brought to the table.

Day 3 - Her excitement at getting to see a real-life Mobian for the first time dampened when she noticed the state of their newest resident. She had been told earlier that the test subject was a 'he,' that he was about her age, and that he had been heavily sedated before takeoff. He was also very, very ill, due to some unknown chronic disease, similar to her illness. But even with this information, his still, sickly form on the stretcher unnerved her nonetheless. As the scientists quickly wheeled him off to the med-bay, she took note of his thin and patchy greying fur -- quills? -- his almost skeletal form, and his sunken, closed eyes. She took a breath, and hoped with all of her heart that her grandfather would be able to save this poor boy.

Day 4 - "Good morning, son, can you hear me?" a voice called out through the darkness. The boy wanted to reply, to open his eyes and put a face to the voice echoing in his foggy, pounding head, but he couldn't find the energy to do anything but listen. "You gave us all quite a fright. For a moment, we thought you might not have survived the trip up here," the voice continued, matter-of-factly. "But I assure you that you are in good hands. We will be doing everything we can to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of." The boy managed a small huff in reply, barely heard above his face mask and the beeping of nearby machines.

Found an amazing view! Also, met some new neighbors at my new place... they seem nice? (spider and stickbug warning below)

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

I wish I took a before photo for this, but I only meant to sit down and add a mouth to this plush originally. I ended up doing that, then adding a bunch of chest fluff, and also adding some eye separation. I also patched up five holes. This plush was given to me ages ago. I don't think it's official, but he's been with me so long - he deserves some extra love. I think his fluff came out even better than Silver's. It's very dense and soft. <3 I've already packed away my red wool somewhere in a box, but I'm very tempted to pull it out after I'm finished moving to work on his eyeliner.

[radio-b]

Will be officially in boxes tomorrow. Very excited and nervous. I should be getting the key sometime between tomorrow and Monday. AHHHH!!

[radio-b]

Had some time during my lunch to go cross the street and sit next to my school's green house. I should really spend more of my breaks over there. (I can't believe how lucky I got with this picture!)

Bummed about no Omega, but on the other hand, there's a free slot in Team Dark if Amy is interested. >:)

[radio-b]

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but I'm really looking forward to Team Dark and Team Sonic and Amy working together in the upcoming Sonic Memories and Beyond. Not sure how well they will interact with each other outside of a fight (or if they even will -- would be nice though), but they all worked great together in the trailer. The animation was absolute eye-candy! Omega couldn't be included because he'd tip the scales too much. =/

Posting early cause I'm going to be too busy this weekend. Week 11 - Blurbo Practice: More Shadamy week themes. ^^ Day 1/Hammer&Spear - Had it been luck? Desperation? Skill? Perhaps a little of all three? Shadow stood in awe at the pink hedgehog that had somehow managed to parry his chaos spear with a single, powerful blow of her hammer. Such strength was admirable, he reasoned, and must have been the reason his heart raced so.

Day 2/Coffee - She gripped his hand as he started to leave. "Would you like to stay for coffee?" she blurted out, blushing lightly. Shadow asked with a raised eyebrow, "Do you normally drink coffee after midnight?" She grinned and looked slyly to the side before replying, "Yeah, usually in the morning." His eyes widened.

Day 3/Comfort - Shadow had given up on keeping track of the number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren he had now. Despite the many years that now separated them, his beloved wife lived on -- in shining green eyes, bright tufts of pink, and the laughter and warmth that surrounded him.

Day 4/5 Year Anniversary - "Happy Valentine's, dear," he whispered over the credits of her favorite romcom, wrapping up on a laptop that had simply been placed on a large cardboard box. Moving boxes surrounded the two of them like a makeshift fort as they lounged on a mattress and a pile of blankets in the middle of their new living room -- in their new home. The timing wasn't ideal, having to move during her favorite holiday AND their fifth-year anniversary, so they had opted to order from their favorite Italian place and stay in with their favorite shows. Amy hugged the plush heart-shaped pillow she laid on and smiled warmly at her partner. "Happy Anniversary, love," she replied before leaning in for a quick kiss.

Week 10 - Blurbo Practice - Using themes from last week's Shadamy week. :) Day 1/Surprise - "Um, surprise!" Silver concluded while shrugging awkwardly. Amy and Shadow stared at him, then turned to stare at one another, and then turned back to stare at Silver. "How!?" they both finally exclaimed. Silver grimaced, "Even if I could explain, I really don't want to get into the details of how I was made, geeze."

Day 2/Fake Dating - He handed her a paper cup of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. "Well, we're getting plenty of attention, but not the kind that either of us wanted," Shadow muttered in annoyance. The plan was backfiring. With a sigh, Amy took her drink and softly blew on it. Her and Shadow's relationship status had gone viral, with more comments, posts, and videos about them flooding her feed than she could have ever imagined. And while everyone in the world seemed to have an opinion on them, the one blue hedgehog whose opinion she wanted most, whose opinion mattered the most, remained silent.

Day 3/Height Difference - Amy practically leaped to the door after hearing the doorbell. It'd been so long since she'd seen him in person, so she invited him over to her place the moment she had heard he was back. She opened the door with no hesitation and came face to face with a thick, white patch of fur. "Whoa," she couldn't help but comment as she looked up to finally meet his eyes.

Day 4/Gentle - "Thanks again for going with us today," Amy whispered happily as she rubbed her elbow carefully against Shadow's. His reply was a simple, quiet hum, but his eyes shined in the evening sun as he glanced at Amy and then to both Cream and Cheese, asleep in his arms.

I used my smallest felting needle to add extra floof to this plush and I think it absolutely paid off. I'm very happy with the result!

Happy birthday to the blue blur! I first met Sonic when I bought a used Genesis with some money I had manged to save up over many birthdays and holidays. My mother was furious that I had wasted money on "useless junk." My first games were Sonic 2 and Ecco Tides of Time. I was always a couple of consoles behind current gen, but my sister and I had an absolute blast playing as Sonic and Tails together. Later, my sister and I were able to get a hold of Sonic Adventure 2 for the GameCube. I don't think either of us, and now brother included, could have expected how much this one game would influence our lives forever - and for the best. I could make this really long and sappy, so I'm just going to cut it off here. Thanks Sonic, for teaching me the importance of determination, of freedom, of moving forward. Here's to many more years of incredible music, memorable games, and fantastic movies! Gotta keep living and learning!

I opened my button-up work shirt to show my SO my Sonic shirt this morning. It was a Metal Sonic shirt. I think it's time to get my glasses replaced. :')

[radio-b]

My feed is packed with so much amazing Shadamy content. <3 I think Sonic's big day might be...

Overshadowed. >:)
