Happens when Shadow and Maria have a heart to heart.
Shadow admits that he’s starting to forget things and that his mind is becoming fuzzy, he doesn’t know what’s happening to him and nobody will tell him. He’s afraid he’ll forget her too. Not only that, but Gerald and other scientists are now forbidding him and Maria from seeing eachother starting tomorrow, something about him being “dangerous and unstable”.
Maria gives him her music box. Something her parents gave her before she had to be put on the ark.
Although they are separated, this isn’t the last time they see eachother. Maria would sneak around to see him again, very regularly. but one day she doesn’t come back.
Made some Epilepsy representation for myself using shadow this time
I said it once I'll say it again Maria and Shadow make some great epilepsy representation in my eye as some who suffers from JME
idk if any of you all notice the red ribbon in the first drawing but in my culture we put those on as a way to ward off bad or negative energy's or mal de ojo (also gave shadow a gray evil eye to represent his grief)
Similarities with shadow and epilepsy i experience :D
first the lavender smell (lavenders are the reconginsed intransional flower of epilepsy)
second his fortune card being called King of lighting- lighting is used as a visoual metaphor for wht happens to people who suffer from it since its sudden and Chaotic electrical discharges that happens in the brain during a seizures
His inhibitor rings - the thing he wears to keep his chaos powers stable because he cant control it and keep him from collapsing. Just like with meds are used to control them or they will collapse.
also just bc i have JME i find it funny he wears the on his wrist and ankles since well for me i usually get sudden arm jolts or legs its uncontrollable without meds so i found it funny how that lines up
im not saying shadow has it but its fun random headcanon for this drawing
i really like to head canon Maria has it ill draw her next bc she so relatable
Random one as latina he wears gold I had a gold bracelet for most of my childhood till I grew out of it we always got some gold on.
