Maria and Gerald Robotnik...You know, ever since I got Internet access, I tried gaining information about Shadow's background, since the games never revealed much about it. And Shadow's background consists of mainly two people: Maria and Gerald Robotnik, in my opinion the most underrated characters in the Sonic Universe.Maria and Gerald Robotnik...3 years ago in Personal More Like This
:iconmariarobotnikplz:
When it comes to revealing Shadow's past, the game Shadow the Hedgehog disappointed me quite a bit. The game itself was not as bad as most people claim imo, but all it did story-wise was making Shadow's past even more confusing - and worst of all, closing the whole thing in the end and killing off all the characters involved, without ever clearing things up.
What do we know about Maria? In fact, when it comes to the games, next to nothing. I have been searching the web for information (as well as watching all the japanese Sonic X eps), and here is a summary of what I found out about Shadow's background story:
Maria was infected (or born) with a fatal disease, called NIDS (N

By the OceanOver by the ocean I wait for herBy the Ocean3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A desire so strong, I can feel her wind
Flow through the spaces of my fingers
Her delicate hair, her smiling eyes
Just breathtaking and pure
Waiting on the edge of the ocean
Waves dampening my feet
I imagine her beautiful intelligent mind,
So powerful and strong
I don't want to leave this place
Until her eyes meet mine
Blissful reunion I have only longed
Time is forever without her.
How can she make me suffer any longer?
I must feel her presence; I must see her glowing light
I want to feel alive as she is
My spirit, my friend

Sakano glared at the door to his office, he was slowly starting to loose his temper. After Shuichi failed to show up for the rehearsal this morning he dismissed the rest of the band and locked himself in his office for the remainder of the day, thinking that now would be a good time to catch up on that long overdue paperwork. But since the producer stepped foot into the tiny office he had nothing but disruptions in the form of phone calls or the secretary Sakura, who would have more paperwork with her each visit.
The door was knocked again. *twitch*. Sakano slammed the pen he was holding down onto the desk and stood up. ~I swear if that's Sa

As if for awhile my worries disappear

K cracked his eyes open and looked up into the darkness, the beep beep beeping was really getting on his nerves. He shut his eyes again and rolled over, burying his face into the plush pillow.
"Sakano! For the love of god shut your phone up"
….No reply. The beep beep beeping continued.
"Sakano! Will you answer your phone already it's keeping me awake"
……Still no reply
K rolled onto his back and pushed himself up onto his elbows. He reached over to smack his lover over the head, but instead of a head his hand made contact with another soft plushy pillow. K blinked a few times before it registered with his brain.
Sakano wasn't here, he wa

Sonouge is one of the least popular couples. If SEGA chose to, they could couple them together, but that would throw off the Shipper Teasing of SonAmy and KnuxRouge.
FREE SPIRITED DUO-
Thanks to the fact that Rouge and Sonic both embrace freedom, this can illustrate the following statements:
1.Because they both think freely, it won't stress the other about needing to settle down as quickly into a relationship.
2.Neither person has to be held back from doing whatever they want.
3.Living without restraint would give Sonic and Rouge time to figure out themselves before they decided to totally commit themselves to each other.
BENEFITS-

Good Hetalia Fanfic advice + Other canon thingsI've been browsing fanfics on dA here lately, and I gotta say, some of them are just so out of character it's not even funny. So, I'll be making a nice little list here of things that are canon and tips on what to do when making a fanfic.Good Hetalia Fanfic advice + Other canon things6 months ago in Personal More Like This
More things may be added later on! If you want to know more, I suggest this wonderful blog: http://hetaliafanficpetpeeves.tumblr.com/Do not butcher a language, this means using things like "Fratello", "Bruder", "Mon cheri", etc. DO NOT USE THOSE UNLESS THE CHARACTER IS TALKING TO ANOTHER CHARACTER WHOM SPEAKS THAT LANGUAGE FLUENTLY.
Do not make a character call their sibling only by brother, sister, etc. Saying those in different languages are not an exception! It's more likely for siblings to call each other by their names, as I call my big sister Crystal. An exception for using brother/sister/etc is when the character is talking to someone whom does not know their sibling or

That includes this 15 minute gameplay video from the website TouchGameplay.com, which we’ve embedded below. You’ll see the nine (!!) acts of Green Hill Zone in action, as well as some of the game’s power-ups and features. You may also notice something we did: Sonic uncurls as he jumps to new heights, and in some instances that means losing his rings when in contact with the badniks. It may be Sonic the Hedgehog 4 all over again, albeit in a more addictive to some.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQyFunQyo0&featurelayer_embedded
First, according to the game description, Tails and Knuckles are playable in-game. A total of 36 levels are packed in, including Green Hill Zone, and some new mountain and jungle areas. An arcade mode, which is essentially a survival mode, is also part of the game. Collec
