Stone being just as competent as Robotnik is so important to me. He took over the Mean Bean by himself, he's a badass on a motorcycle, he singlehandedly rescued Robotnik in the aftermath of sonic 2, he took down a bunch of badniks in a few seconds. Stone could easily be his own boss and do his own thing, or demand that Robotnik treat him more as an equal rather than a subordinate but he doesn't. He's completely fine with being a henchman and even takes pride in it. I think it just emphasizes how much he loves Robotnik. He doesn't need to stay with him because its the closest he'll get to power, he's skilled enough on his own to do villain stuff if he wanted, he needs to stay because he loves him and Robotnik needs him. this is all stuff we already knew but i think it'd be less powerful if Stone was the typical dumb henchman stereotype. he is just as deserving of power as Robotnik is but he chooses to take a step back, to let him have the spotlight, to let him feel safer in a position of power, to just help Robotnik achieve his goals and his dreams. im never getting over these two am i?
Just Like the First Time.
There's just something about the fact that desert duo and renchanting so similar and opposite
Grian and Scar are the desert, the hottest day of summer, the burning sun, the cacti, isolation, loyalty born from guilt but never tested, being equals
Meanwhile Ren and Martyn are the forests, the coldest night of winter, the freezing moon, the trees, comradery, loyalty freely given but confirmed in blood, one above the other
everyone get unemployed. i will provide for us.
Elvis are you immortal ?
Woah mama my time in the desert has made me immune to the sands of time
wow whitepine is getting really good so far! i wonder where they'll take this story- TOMMYINNIT???
the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
There's something so fucking insane about realizing this is it for them. Not only Robotnik has no one, every single version of him has no one. He was created to be hated and alone. He was never meant to be liked by anyone let alone loved.
Stone doesn't exist. I'm getting fucked up just thinking about it – Robotnik finding out about all his other selves and...and there's no Stone? Who even is Stone? And how can movie!Robotnik explain? Who isn't Stone. He's always there, he is loyal, he is equal to a whole world to him, how can he explain that to the other Robotniks if they don't know what it's like? That feeling of being able to look over your shoulder and know someone is always going to be there; that someone cared about him selflessly – someone who patched him back together after every failure even when he thought he couldn't go lower.
Only movie!Robotnik has him, I'm INSANE. There is no comfort in "they will find each other in another universe, and try again" NO. This is it. Dr. Robotnik deserved to have someone be infinitely loyal to him, because he loved him, in one singular universe. IS ANYBODY LISTENING OHMYGOD.
I had a vision
This is how it happened right
