One of my FAVOURITE things about the Sonic movies is how much care and attention to detail the animators give towards the facial expressions of the CG characters, and this is by far my favourite example.

Just look at how Shadow's countenance changes when after Robotnik tells him what will happen to everyone if the station explodes. Look at how his serious demeanour instantly melts away and shows how he's overcome with distress, fear, and worry for the fate of his friends and humanity.

It makes this moment that much more special because it shows he's transformed as a character as he's regained the care and humanity he had for others which he once buried to cope with all the trauma and grief he endured for so long, and will now do anything it takes to save the people he was manipulated into believing was undeserving of existence.

THIS IS WHY YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL DETAILS PEOPLE!!!! BECAUSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A SMALL DETAIL CAN GO A LONG WAY IN ENRICHING YOUR CHARACTERS AND STORY!!!!!!

The stars are aligning…things make sense that I didn’t know needed to make sense…

Head canon that Donnie speaks his vocalizations ("evil laugh", "relishing chuckle") because in the comics he and his brothers grew up reading that's what would be written, like how the word sigh is usually written out in a word bubble

Or maybe it's a stim that came up randomly💜💜💜 love it either way

Ninjago alphabet seasons 4-7

I posted this on tik tok a while ago but I figured I’d upload it here again.

Before Ninjargon, this is the alphabet used in the show for on screen text. I couldn’t find a transliteration guide (all the guides for ‘Ninjago alphabet’ that I could find were for Ninjargon) so I spent a few weeks making one myself. I’m pretty confident that the letters are right, but there might be mistakes in which ones are upper or lowercase. I’m also missing a few glyphs because I couldn’t find examples of usage.

Enjoy the product of my brainrot

A longer writing guide also exists in google doc form

"Look at this video of a child disappointed at their expensive gift! Children are so spoiled these days!"

That's cool. So, why did their parents upload their small child being upset online? In a public video, shared to the entire video? Why did they even save the recording?

Like. The kid in that scenario could be saying the most entitled nonsense in the world, and if their parents post it online to be publicly shamed, I'd still support the kid 100%. Thinking your child's life is a toy to exploit freely for #content is "spoiled"; when faced with mommy vlogers, kids should be demanding three PS5s and a new Bugatti, and we should be applauding them for it

WE'RE BACK WITH SEASON THREE, Y'ALL :D

Reblog if you've made at least one friend because of a fandom.

*reblogs frantically*

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

This would sound odd without context.

I got a bit bored, and wondered how many different Metalheads there are, then was wondering which is the Favourite TMNT Bot, but that list is long, and I don't think I can make the poll have that many Choices.

In short a poll of mostly Metalhead variants was funny at the moment.

Share if you'd like.

To be fair the heart colors are constantly shifting bc i change the colors based off what character im currently talking about 😂

Lloyd’s “all life must be protected” or whatever is so funny because the rest of his team is just

Guy who’s killed thousands

Girl who’s killed thousands

Guy who’s insane enough to shoot missiles in a train

Immortal roach who never kills anyone directly but probably sucks life out from the people around him to live longer

Let's talk about this little scene.

They're looking for Shadow, and Knuckles notices that the GUN truck is falling toward them. He shoves his brothers out of the way, and catches the truck, neat as you please.

He could have grabbed them and pulled them away, making sure they were safe when the truck landed. He could have punched the falling vehicle, shattering it to bits and causing all sorts of rubble and debris.

But he didn't. He pushed his brothers behind him, and caught the truck.

He showed off his strength, following it up with hefting it on one hand, and boasting once again about being "one million percent muscle".

Knuckles may have settled into family life, may have found a new tribe, but he's still a warrior, and is proud of his strength. He's proud of the abilities he has, and I think sometimes feels like they're not appreciated enough, as they're for fighting and after the last movie, he and the other boys have seemingly settled into a nice, quiet, non-violent family life.

Tails likely has been instrumental in fixing or improving various things about the house or town, and Sonic is the first child so he's already found his comfy spot in the family and community.

But what about Knuckles? His strength likely isn't as big a benefit in daily life. May be a bit of a hinderance, if he doesn't pay attention and control it properly. So he may have been hearing "Watch your strength, Knux," or "Not all conflicts require violence to solve, Knux," which is so different from what he's used to.

While he doesn't always immediately jump to violence to solve all his problems, that's his strength, no pun intended. In his journeys through the galaxy, he had to fight to survive. Fight to keep himself safe. And even in circumstances where he didn't want to fight, he was usually forced into it. So this is his norm.

So I feel like he caught that falling truck not only to save his brothers, but to remind them what he's capable of. It was kind of a "Look, I am your brother, I am happy in my new tribe, but I am still someone to be respected because of my abilities."

It could have also been a lowkey show of how he would protect them. Anyone could pull someone to safety, but only he could catch a falling multi-ton vehicle as though it were nothing more than a tossed baseball.

But now it's discouraged. Maybe he feels he's getting weak. Getting soft because he's not being forced to fight on a regular basis. Which is I think why he so willingly rushed to fight Shadow when it seemed like talking wasn't working.

In the novelization of the movie, after Shadow kicks his butt, when the others ask if he's okay he tells them that he "might be a bit rusty". His pride is what took the real beating, and may have added to this feeling of his strength being dismissed. Of him losing what made him special.

This is further enforced by being essentially benched during the raid on the GUN HQ. His greatest asset is his strength, but it's not being utilized except "in case of emergency". Which, based on how the others behaved, they didn't think it would be necessary. So they essentially told him he was the failsafe, the backup, even though they--and likely HE--did not expect to need him.

His constant boasts about how easily he could break the glass may have been as much for his own morale as convincing the others he would be there if necessary. He is a formidable warrior, he has bested many a foe in his years. He is still a force to be reckoned with, even if he hadn't been challenged much in the months since the last battle with Robotnik.

He needs to feel useful. To feel important to the rest of his tribe. And maybe he's felt that the others kind of forgot just how impressive he is in his own right.

His adventures during the series showed him how it was okay to let his guard down and not be so serious all the time. And we see that in the film. We see him content with simply being a member of the family, we see him goofing off with his brothers. Even while they went over the plan, he sat with his little hat and munched on some bread.

(The grumpy face is undone by the beanie, sweetheart.)

Knuckles does best when facing threats head on. He prefers to run in and deal with the problem up front, and get on with his life. Stealth and plans and even working with other people is new to him. But he trusts his brother, he trusts his tribe, and he will stay off to the side until he's needed. (Maybe even moreso now that he saw that rushing in to fight Shadow didn't get him anywhere.)

But when he's needed, he will show them that his strength is just as much an asset as Tails' brains and Sonic's speed. Even if it had unexpected consequences.

Knuckles has a much bigger adjustment to Earth and family life than either of the other two boys. Because his life up to that point was fighting, keeping on the move and ahead of bounty hunters, and searching for the one thing that meant more to his people than any other. He had a huge weight on his shoulders, one that neither Sonic nor Tails could understand. Even the humans in his life couldn't possibly comprehend just how important it was for him to find the Master Emerald and allow his entire species to rest in peace once more.

But now that his quest was done, and he doesn't have to look over his shoulder as much as he used to, he likely struggles with how he fits in with the world. For the longest time he was The Most Dangerous Warrior in the Galaxy, and the Last of the Echidna. Now he's simply Knuckles. And he may be having a hard time finding what that actually means, to him and to those he loves.

Knuckles was always there to protect them

I think my favourite is this scene where he didn't want to fight Sonic even though Sonic wanted to. We know that Knuckles could've easily hurt Sonic but he didn't want to hurt his bro.

Knuckles loves his family so much I just can't... He's such a good big brother ❤️💙💛

haha i found a description of my original character in my series 😀

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
