shadow from my originalshatterspace! this version of shadow was created using wisp dna, but not just any wisp dna–dna from mother wisp herself!
for this facet of shadow, i decided to focus on his heart. callisto is very dependent on the people he loves, much like how a moon is dependent on the planet it orbits… he’s also much more open with his love, unlike how shadow keeps it under lock and key.
and of course, every wisp he encounters seems to love him right away. but, unlike everyone else in this shatterspace, he doesn’t have a wisp partner. if he were to ever need the help of a wisp, he would simply ask any random one he came across–and they would comply.
(all of the other characters think he’s a huge weirdo for this.)
pre-canon, he lives at the ARK-tic research station in deepfreeze domain. then, something happens, and he ends up travelling with a mysterious stranger! to be honest, he’s not really sure what happened… but he’s determined to figure it out! and since he doesn’t know where the research station is located, the stranger suggests joining the wisp races to look for it. what a great idea!
but wait, is he even allowed to join if he IS a wisp?! ref, that doesn’t count as a foul, right?
hate when I finish a really brutal movie that shakes me to my core and then I can’t even recommend it to people. like it’s incredible and everyone should see it but also I have to slap 3,000 warnings on it and tell you you’re gonna feel like shit
maybe it’s an unpopular opinion and I’m not saying to watch media that will trigger you on purpose obviously but I think people need to be okay with movies that make them uncomfortable sometimes. it’s good to feel like shit now and then. the beauty and horror and poignancy of the human experience shouldn’t always be watered down and neatly tied up into a palatable package. something that disturbs you can also move you. it can change you. growth is often uncomfortable. there are so many masterpieces that might profoundly affect you that you’ll miss if you only look to movies for pure entertainment and nothing else
