hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i'm just gonna talk about a thing i like
Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, "Trans people are cool!"
^ this is all from the wiki btw
I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.
Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman's grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria's soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I'm reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.
Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman's grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman's grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.
With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.
He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.
So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.
Why would I lie about that? Here it is.
Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don't care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,
and then in the next game it's just fine but evil now(???)
and after THAT it's not evil anymore but it's fully intact:
What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we're getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

Anyone got anime reccs?
I used to watch a lot like 10+ years ago but I haven't really kept up since aside from a couple things. I'll check out anything that isn't shonen. I've watched enough of that for a lifetime
Little Witch Academia is basically what if Harry Potter didn't suck and was about cute girls being friends at magic school and having witchy adventures and is cute and fun imo
Also the MC Akko leads a labor revolt in one episode
Added!
There's an original OVA that preceded the series that's where I'd start if you want to get a feel for it
Pretty sure it isn't canon to the series and movie but it's like, a "vertical slice" type deal of what the show's like kinda and the animation is really pretty and charming
Looking at some of my favorites:
Carole and Tuesday is a relatively comfy show about two young women becoming friends and forming a musical duo on a partially terraformed Mars.
Kayuga-sama: Love is War might technically be shonen, but it's a romantic comedy as opposed to a battle anime. It's about a pair of brilliant students who are locked in a battle of wits: to have their counterpart confess their feelings first. Hijinks ensue.
A Place Further than the Universe is a charming and wholesome story about a group of young women who find friendship in a seemingly impossible dream: to visit Antarctica. But what if happens if their dream isn't so far out of reach?
Oddtaxi is a neo-noir ensemble feature centering around the disappearance of a young pop star, and the brusque and enigmatic taxi driver who links these intertwined stories together.
Zombieland Saga is an idol comedy about a young woman who dreams of becoming a pop idol, but meets an untimely fate. However, she still might be able to fulfill her dreams... in undeath?! Also notable for having an openly trans character.
Wow those all seem really interesting! Thanks for putting that together, I'm gonna check them all out
have you seen spy x family?
Nope! Adding it to the list
