Watching a friend play through Sonic Frontiers who's never played a Sonic game before and I'm genuinely happy that he, an FPS and action game nut, is really enjoying the game. Yes, it isn't perfect, but it's still a very fun experience. We're riffing to each other about how this game stacks up, and talking about the story beats every so often.
And then we get to That Part on Exposition Island.
So, after you deactivate the final tower on That Island, you get a cutscene where Sonic Fucking Dies. Actually. The music stops. He's Gone. One loading screen later and now he's back by The Power Of Friendship™ and he moves on like nothing ever happened. This is, by far, the biggest disappointment of the game's story, maybe even the game. They could have gone so much harder there. Tails says he's stuck between realities, so a portion of the game/the last island could have been him fighting like hell to break through it. Said friend added they should have made it like the fake-out ending in Control (2019), which Fuck. Yes. they should have. (Play Control (2019), by the way)
Now, I get it, it was most likely Sega saying You Can't Do That, with second likely they didn't have enough dev time to do anything with it. Just seeing other tumblr users brainstorm their own alternative How It Should Have Happened stories makes me yearn for how this could have been handled differently in the game. (getting Infinite flashbacks now are we, Levi?)
Yes, Sonic and Tails are my Autism Creatures, but let me tell you I want to see them go through deep emotional moments as well! It fills my soul. Throw them in the pear wiggler.

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad
