when you type or say the word “Maria”, is that a tf trigger?

@aescling No, who is Maria in this context?

@vaporeon_ in the Sonic series, a formative memory Shadow the Hedgehog retains is the death of his only friend, the human girl Maria, at the hands of GUN (yes, a military org called GUN is a thing in this series). he never got over it

@vaporeon_ “never got over it” is unfair to shadow’s character; he starts developing at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) and is pretty interesting in new ways in Sonic 06, but the series has since dropped those developments, which i am pretty sad about
