Sonic Frontiers: the gang is older now and fully understands the weight of what is happening, the danger, the gravity of it all. they are grizzled, but not jaded, and they all care deeply about each other. Sonic has grown enough to understand that more information is necessary to succeed in his goal while also not remaining idle in his search for that information

Sonic Prime: okay but what if we show that they are kids with limited emotional capacity and narrow worldviews without making them obnoxious and helpless and have Sonic be the instigator so he's forced to come to terms with the fact that "act first think later" is not a good way to live

I'm so glad we get to see what would have happened if Sonic weren't around to lead everyone, but I also love that we see what a useless mess he is without his friends and how bad he is at making new friends. we also see how Sonic compartmentalizes the different parts of his life. he is deliberate about his exclusion of Shadow from the very first episode.

he introduces the others as "my friends," and when it comes to Shadow he just says, "it's complicated." When he talks to Big, he says, "Gotta go save our friends!" when he talks to Shadow before the Prism shatters and gets distracted by the initial explosion, he shouts, "My friends!"

to me, this shows that Sonic doesn't view Shadow as one of "my friends" and doesn't think he's friends with anyone else in the group, either. Sonic purposely isolates Shadow from the others in his mind and out loud with the language he uses.

We see another example of the "my friends" diction when he and Nine are separated from Rebel, Knucks, and Rusty. He says, "I've gotta help my friends!" which has to be a gut punch for Nine, who has been told that he and Sonic are supposed to be best friends. It isolates Nine as not being one of the friends that Sonic needs to help, as well as implies that, while Rebel, Knucks, and Rusty are Sonic's friends, that does not mean that they are also Nine's friends.

All throughout Sonic's first trip in New Yolk, he repeatedly reminds Nine that he's wrong somehow, that there's something incorrect about his existence. Sonic even refers to Nine as "messed up" Tails. While we have the perspective to see that Nine is indeed a version of Tails who is deeply traumatized due to repeated hate crimes against him, Nine doesn't.

Sure, Sonic tells him as much, vague and incoherent as the explanation is, but that doesn't make the name "Tails" feel like less of a slur, and it doesn't make calling him "messed-up you" hurt any less. Even when they land in "The Grim," Sonic says, "Be on the lookout for whacked-out versions of you, me, and anyone else you know!" implying that Sonic initially viewed Nine that way.

Sonic has a very self-centered way of viewing the world, and while he is learning throughout the entirety of season one that that is not the way to treat your friends (we see him actively change when he refuses to go after The Devil's Lighthouse while Dread, Catfish, Sails, Batten, and Black Rose are fighting Rusty and the eggforcers). It's super clear from the start that Sonic cares deeply for his friends, but it is also super clear that, since they all believe in him wholeheartedly, he's kind of phoned it in when it comes to effort and consideration, and consequences are never on his mind.

I have a lot more thoughts about this but my lunch break is over, I just needed to write some things down.

Stranded 650 Miles From Home (Please help me fix my car)

Hi all, I don’t typically like making posts like this, but I am desperately in need of help right now.

I live in Nebraska, but came back to Texas to visit my sick grandmother, and my car has a pretty costly repair now that I’m here. It will cost me $850 out of pocket, but I cannot work until I get back home, and I can’t do that without a working vehicle. Currently, I’m on track to miss out on at least a week of pay. I cannot afford this repair and my rent for this month. I am desperate.

I love love love how so many people watched Night at the Museum, saw Jed and Octavius, and were like "oh these guys are SO in love it's ridiculous."

I've seen NatM referred to as a movie "about some little gay miniature guys"

I love Jedtavius very very very much, but also...the movie is about so much more 😭😭 it's about humanity! and discovery! and finding yourself on your way to your goals and realizing that maybe you've been idealizing that goal for so long that it's not even really something you want anymore! and about realizing that practical decisions aren't always the best ones to make for your mental health!

It's about meeting people from different backgrounds and finding your own definition of success! it's about growth, and perseverance, and the rediscovery of passion! It's about "the grass is always greener on the other side" and how true happiness is found in the moment with people you love and who love you! It's about the adaptability that is inherent to our survival; about finding happiness and fulfillment even when your world has been turned on its head!

Larry's whole arc is as a man who dearly, dearly loves his son, who has striven to provide his son with the stability he's been missing for so long. In the second film, that desire for stability takes him to the corporate world, and he hates it, even though it has always been his dream. He learns in the second film that his passion comes from problem-solving and helping people, not from the act of inventing or from marketing himself.

In the third film, he is once again caught up in marketing the museum, which is so stressful for him, but we also see his desire for stability for Nick when Nick presents the fact that...well, he doesn't really vibe with the idea of going to college. And Larry is absolutely terrified of Nick not having that opportunity because he has lived it. Nick used to be a ten-year-old little boy planning to become a bond trader as a fallback in case hockey doesn't work out. Now he's seventeen or eighteen, and he's realized that making plans isn't always a foolproof blueprint for happiness.

Nick has seen his father in so many different careers, and the one he's been the happiest in has been this magic museum gig that he basically stumbled into by accident. Nick knows that, as long as he has people around him who love him, really love him, he'll be just fine. He can roll with the punches, make things work, adapt! just like his father! and that idea is absolutely terrifying for Larry, who seemingly did not have the same support network that Nick does.

I don't remember where I was going with this, but yeah. the human ability to overcome.

me after Nine corrects Sonic on his name when Sonic introduces him to the others as "Tails" when Nine has made it abundantly clear how hurt he is by that name:
