“Yes.”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“Wow. Thank you. I’m so flattered.”

[greaterspeed-archive]

“A CANDY Chaos Emerald. Ain’t I the best boyfriend ever?”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“... So you think that a Chaos Emerald embodies my entire personality? Is that it?”

[greaterspeed-archive]

“We’re like, what, three years into a relationship ‘n’ you expect me to remember valentines day? Dude, the romance is dead now.

… So I got you a candy emerald instead. I thought it was more you.”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“... A candy emerald? What, you mean like a Chaos Emerald?”

[greaterspeed-archive]

“Eight days late isn’t that bad, riiiight?”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“Where’s my chocolate?”

[watchinglikeashadow]

So hey. I'm making an announcement about the state of this blog.

Even if the fandom were pristege, though, greaterspeed's mod had some personal things going on in her life that contributed to a loss of interest, as well as just a general lack of good Sonic stuff being outputted. There aren't many good fan fictions, the current Sonic canon (SEGA can bullshit us all they want that it's not canon but Boom is most certainly canon considering I haven't seen any Modern Sonic stuff since its release) is not to our liking, and as a result that just tapers it off a bit naturally. And with her lack of recent interest in Sonic stuff lately, we haven't RPed it much at all between us since I don't want to force her to do something she doesn't want to do.

I still like RPing Shadow, and the both of us certainly loved these two and still like Sonadow. Does that mean we'll ever return full swing to both of these blogs? Eh... We don't really know. There's so much putting greaterspeed's mod off at the moment that it's probably better to assume that if it does happen, it won't happen for a long while. She's run her course of RPing in this god awful fandom for the time being. She may return, she may not; it's possible that even if she does feel like RPing Sonic again she'll want to do it on a different website, away from this community. But I'm not here to talk about her blog's state, I'm here to talk about mine. Here's the low down: as long as she won't be active or doing any plots or anything on Sonic, I'm not going to be, either. That doesn't mean this blog is dead, but don't expect anything big for a while at least. I'll probably pop on now and then to RP with friends who want to say hi to Shadow, or perhaps to give the thing a shot again, but at this point, if you unfollowed or didn't believe we'd ever come back, I wouldn't hold it against you.

I do have some good news for anyone who still likes my Sonic stuff. Since I like Tats a lot and want to RP with her I will still be semi active on the blog I made for her once I get my PC. That blog is this Shadow right here. I will log on there at least once a week once my laptop comes in, plus there's a mini plot we're doing there if you're interested in that. If you wanna see what I'm up to in general, I also have other, non-Sonic blogs I'll be on as well as some others I haven't created, so you can feel free to ask for those. Lastly, if you want to see both me and greaterspeed RPing together again, we have Ken and Daisuke.

By the way, if you have a RP you had with watching that you'd still like to continue and don't mind slowness, I'm not deleting this blog and my ask box is open, so feel free to check in and I'll get to it when I feel up to popping in on here.

“I just. I cannot seem to completely get him out of my head. He delved into my past, my mistakes. Now. Now. I cannot un-see him. I can still feel him worming around in my subconscious. Damn demon. Someone I know decided to pick a fight with him. I made a gamble to divert Doom’s attention. I was at the verge of bleeding out… there he was. Deep inside my cognitive mind pulling the strings. Now here I stand throwing my hands violently into mirrors. I like the numb feeling.”

[watchinglikeashadow]

Shadow hissed. Not at his alternate’s statement of mirrors, either. “Do you know where he is?” This didn’t sound good. If Black Doom was in his alternate’s mind...this wouldn’t be even the small of the destruction he could cause with it.

[hxllowobscurity]

“I will probably aim at Doom. Simply because. Damn insufficient vile creature got into my head.”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“... The scary thing is I can’t tell if you’re being figurative or literal.”

It wasn’t as if Black Doom hadn’t outright brainwashed Shadow before.

“What happened?”

[hxllowobscurity]

“I need to kick someone in the teeth, is what I need.” What was this? Everyone baring sympathy. He couldn’t understand it. Mentally he didn’t want it.

[watchinglikeashadow]

“Is that someone specific, or just in general?”

Sympathy? Not really. Support? Yes.

[hxllowobscurity]

“My hands have gone numb.”

[watchinglikeashadow]

“... Do you need bandages? Or extra gloves?”

[watchinglikeashadow]

True Neutral. I am really bad at this kind of thing, but from what I have read he is good, but he tends to stay neutral? XD IM SO BAD AT THIS OMG

If you need some help with that TV Tropes has a pretty decent page for you to read on the subject. :)

I see him as Neutral Good, myself.

PLEASE DO THIS

[watchinglikeashadow]

Anon, if you come off anon I will reply to you privately to tell you my reasoning. I don’t want to discuss this publicly.

[watchinglikeashadow]

Honestly, I know nothing I say is going to stop people from making biased and hurtful RP positivity blogs. It’s going to happen regardless.

So the only request I’ll make here is that you please don’t submit me to them. It’s caused too much drama in the past to go up on them or to go on follow forevers. Not to mention there are people in this circle who start drama with me for no reason; I’ve never talked to them and yet they talk behind my back or ignore me and I’d rather just separate myself from people like that since they won’t even bother settle disputes with me.

This blog is going to be free of drama mongering if I can help it.

[goldkitsune]

Er… Neither do I, Shadow…!

Eh… Eheh…

[watchinglikeashadow]

It’s especially difficult for me if it’s sunny weather. My black fur absorbs sun, after all...

Even beach worthy weather can be uncomfortable for me.

I suppose it’s something that you and Sonic like, though.

[greaterspeed-archive]

Yeah? Well I’m here now, so I’m not too late.

-Well, Sonic’s playful smirk dropped into a genuine smile upon Shadow’s little content sigh.

Heh, cute.-

You eat today, babe?

[watchinglikeashadow]

[Shadow might respond sarcastically to that but honestly Sonic’s scratching his back felt so good that he didn’t even care. In fact, he even began to purr softly.] 

Mm... Yes, I did. Though I’d like to eat dinner with you...

[greaterspeed-archive]

Yooo– Yeah, I’m here. Sorry, I felt like explorin’ the forest today.

But yeah, sure. One back scratch comin’ right up!

-And he jumped behind Shadow to dig his fingers into his back and begin scratching into the flesh beneath his fur.-

[watchinglikeashadow]

I needed you...

[Teasing Shadow was teasing. But that protest quickly died anyway with a long contented sigh as he closed his eyes with Sonic scratching his back.] 

Thank you, dear...

[greaterspeed-archive]

I’m not fat.

[watchinglikeashadow]

HEY. HEY. THERE YOU ARE.

Can you scratch my back? Please? It itches so bad...
