i always get a little sad when people tell me they like scollace from just my fan art and haven't checked out any of the source material because like nothing i make is going to ever fully represent their dynamic and the joy of shipping to me is really engaging with the canon material and going crazy over breaking down the crumbs of content. and it's a nice comic series! even just watching the anime you're missing out on a lot without context from the comics.
so i guess for the record for anyone who's interested but don't know where to start, /especially/ if you're just here for roommate yaoi. start with the comics. it's the most "scollace-heavy" and it's only 6 books. starting with the anime would probably leave you really confused on why anyone ships them (or what's going on if this is your first exposure to scott pilgrim media) the movie is a fine entrance piece also, imho. like it lets you in on the dynamics between each character and the general plot (even though the characterization is pretty boiled down, but hey a lot of shots are 1:1 to the comics so that's fun.) but yeah. don't let my silly gay drawings dictate your shipping takes. read the books yourself! they're fun and if you're a fresh adult that still feels perma-14 you'll probably find it fun too.
If you guessed from this description that it was a wholesome, sweet slice of life anime about young parents overcoming homophobia you would be sooooo close to right.
But what Crunchyroll is too chickenshit to tell you is that this is actually omegaverse BL. Masaki faces social prejudice because he is an omega. He carried that baby inside his cis male mpreg belly.
I would actually kind of like the “becomes a doctor and takes over Leslie’s clinic” story…for Damian.
NOT because I think it would be ~ethical~ or idk whatever-the-fuck.
I just really love the concept of Damian having this “I HAVE A BIG IMPORTANT DESTINY” backstory/lineage/bloodline …
…SON OF THE BAT, and all that jazz…
But when he connects with Gotham and the people in it—because Batman should be connected to the people he’s protecting—Damian realizes that he doesn’t actually WANT “his” destiny.
And it’s not about rejecting Batman or his father or his mother or anything like that, but instead about taking what he’s learned and what they’ve given him and shaping it to fit himself.
Shadow is antisocial and gets overstimulated when several people are talking at once, but still cares for the well-being of his companions
Knuckles likes it when Rouge compliments him
Tails decks out his lab in the Christmas spirit for the holiday season
Omega likes rocks (for the purpose of destroying other robots)
Knuckles considers gift cards to be practical and enjoys chili dogs like Sonic does
Omega may not realize he is a robot and also friends with Amy and the rest (?)
One time Sonic drew a face on the back of Eggman's head with marker, then took a selfie with Tails behind Eggman's back
Amy has several robot friends
Angel Island may or may not have fallen into the ocean?
Rouge is still trying to steal the Master Emerald, surprise 😂
Sage has been wanting to do family things with Eggman
Roger Craig Smith might be voicing Omega now?
Cream taught some Chao Christmas carols
Jewel is hosting a Christmas party at Restoration HQ! And Vector's bringing board games!
Shadow didn't teleport very far away from the group (seeing as he heard the chaos ensue when Knuckles realized Rouge had stolen the M.E.) so he was possibly eavesdropping/spying on the whole gift exchange 😂
Shadow and Tails seem to be on good terms (finally lol)
Shadow now has a red scarf with his name embroidered on it
