Something I noticed while (definitely not) editing something Sonic Prime related:

In episode 1 of season 2, Sonic and Shadow finally confront each other about their world's destruction due to the prism.

When Shadow leads Sonic back to the cave where it all started, they find the prism as a ghost, unfinished with a single fragment remaining. (A sign of their unity and division.)

Sonic states he'd do anything to be back, and Shadow finishes the statement: 'home.' They both wish to go back home, the same goal in mind. So, when Shadow tells Sonic there is still a chance, and Sonic follows him up to the prism, they're both standing in front of the prism shard on the same side: implying their shared goal.

Then, as Shadow starts to explain things, something changes...

He walks around the prism blueprint - making the prism a divider now.

From this point on, they may share the same goals, but it's evident that they do not share the same ideals on how to reach it, leaving them arguing once more.

No matter the shot...

No matter the angle...

The prism stands as their divider: two sides of the prism so-to-speak.

Even in a stand-alone shot with Shadow:

They make sure to keep the shard in view for this shot; unlike any other stand-alone shot of him or Sonic, where the shard is not even visible.

Not only is it a reminder that it's a divider, as it still sits in the way, but it's now present in a shot where Shadow outright declares: "Sonic! You literally broke our world. Why would I trust you to do anything!?" The prism shard is now a symbol of the home they lost (as it sits in a ghostly replica of their Green Hill).

After this, Sonic is cut off from anything he went to say as Shadow spindashes him across the cave, stating that he's taking charge on this one.

But the disagreement and fight isn't surprising (knowing the two), because they hinted at it from the beginning. Yes, they were fighting before Sonic fully knew what was going on, but at this point, they both know what's in play and they both want the same thing, but there's this hidden truth that they'll do different things to get what they want. Sonic even says himself, once Shadow says he's getting the shards: "No way, Shadow! I know what you're capable of and that's not gonna happen!" Then he's further defending his other friends in the different shatterspaces.

Sonic wants to go home, to fix what he broke, but where he'll team-up and help others as he goes, Shadow will push through and take out anyone who tries to stop him from fixing their home. The prism shard, standing as the symbol of their home, also shows the clear division between the two, even before they started disagreeing; giving us the heads up that the fight was coming.

(Yes, I know these screenshots are quality garbage, but I didn't really have a better option available at the time, not unless I went further digging for the Netflix footage, but I didn't feel like it. Lol)

I just found this very interesting as I went through the cave scenes. Looking from shot-to-shot to notice the shard is only ever shown when directly between the two once this whole conversation starts.

Hope you all liked this little analysis-thing, because I don't know if I'll do any more in the future. XD I'm not much of an analyzer. I just like to talk about details and things I've noticed with my siblings or friends, so this was a step further than usual. I just figured: "I have the screenshots already, why not?" XD

Anyway, thanks for reading my rambles!

surrender

~

again, the poetry reaches in

and you let it

you let it because you need to cry

you need to weep

to mourn

to long

as others sleep

you let it because you remember what you lost

your storm-tossed heart seems to bleed

words grip onto you, akin to tendrils, they dig in deep

into your skin

into your eyes

you can't help but see

even from the blindness that is grief

how it reaches into your soul

poetry

poetry

poetry

I love this detail that Kari Skogland kept in the series. This is probably my favorite bit of nuance and it absolutely says so much about Bucky and Sam’s relationship. To watch him peacefully sleep and be woken by the sounds of children playing must have been the most relief Bucky has felt in a long time. You can almost feel the moment of relief that Bucky has here--it’s palpable.

Maybe, for the first time, Bucky begins to believe that there are really people out there who want to help him and who care about him and wont leave him behind. This is really great character development for Bucky. For once, he seems to have hope.

digging deep

Takeout having been acquired, it was now time to dig into Rachel’s case. Chloe keeps trying to log into her social media accounts, shoving noodles into her mouth between failed password attempts. After failing again, she pushes away from her desk with a frustrated huff.

“Max, I’m going to need you in on this one--pretty sure I changed my password when I was high to something stupid,” she explains. “Can you log in on yours? Rachel’s account isn’t set to friends only or anything since she liked--likes the attention,” she says, correcting the morbid tense her stupid mouth spat out.

She’s going to be on it again any day now, Chloe tells herself. We just have to find her.

Shaking off the mere possibility of thinking up alternatives, she moves on quick, joking, “And before you ask, I’ve already tried every variation of 420BlazeIt69 and Bewbs80085.” 

Chloe doesn’t say she knows Max still has hers because she looked her up too. She hadn’t logged in to see any details, too bitter to put herself through that, but...her profile picture is cute. Which, well, makes sense given how cute the other girl’s face is. It was kind of inevitable.

Anyways.
