I so badly wish I could catch my cat running and meowing down the hall at the same time on camera. You can hear each step in her voice.
I had taken her collar off to let the skin there breathe tonight, so when she started playing with it, I let her scamper off with it in her mouth. I think she realized that she was no longer wearing her collar, and in fact packing it around, because hardly a minute later she came running back to give it to me, sounding genuinely distressed to the point I thought something scared her. She just wanted the collar back on :P

I had another fic idea and the brain was like "no, that's too fluffy and romantic and YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WRITE NICE THINGS, PEOPLE WOULD JUDGE YOU" but then I went "but what if it was kind of... comedy fluff?" and brain went "...yeah, okay, if you really must." Which I fucking HATE! Why can't I write nice things, brain?! Everyone else is allowed to! FFS, it's fanfiction, it doesn't have to be ~deep~ or any of that shit!
This has actually been a bit of an issue when I'm trying to write The WIP because while I told myself yeah sure go ahead and write the massively self-indulgent epically long (by my own odd standards) fic but still sometimes I get stuck because I'm not "allowed" to write something that appeals to me and my own sometimes niche interests??
Like angst I can do because that's "proper" somehow? WTF is that about? It's not proper! It's still daft! And comedy I'm allowed because I dunno apparently if it will make someone laugh that means it has "value"? It's very annoying, I don't like it.
Do other people have this? How do you deal with it? You'd think after all this time I'd be okay with writing any old shit that I want to. If anything it might be worse now. I remember years ago I could tell myself "Look, if you've spelled most of it correctly then it's already in like the better half of all the fanfic on the internet" which isn't really TRUE but I could go along with that and let myself write whatever-the-fuck I wanted to.
You know how many of us go "I'll write this fucked up thing... but I'll post it as Anon"? I get that with fluffy fic ideas as well. Or with things that are "too shippy" (WTF?) It's just such a stupid and weird form of self-criticism and it bothers me a lot.

Your Gaster lore breakdown (which was very good!) made me think of something: what are the chances we’ll go through a late-game area in DeltaRune that’s Gaster’s equivalent to the True Lab, with log entries on his experiments / the process of him creating the DeltaRune world? After all, the one we have from him is #17; there had to be at least 16 before that, right? Hopefully not all written in Wingdings
that is literally something i have been thinking about. it might be the bunker! that might be our late-game bunker dark world! i think it'd have like. mementoes/reminders of the secret bosses, with the entries maybe actually being videos or audio files in the style of the true lab tapes showing old conversations between him and old colleagues/friends/associates (sans? alphys? asgore? papyrus?) before he shattered, and then some different, plain english plaques or something on the walls discussing his story post-shattering and how he made deltarune. as for enemies/test subjects, it's been my belief for a while now that the goners and gaster followers used to be normal people who gaster accidentally erased from the timeline, or gonered, in his experiments, and this led him to go slightly mad in a chain of events that led to his shattering. maybe they could be the equivalents of the amalgamates! maybe they wouldn't FIGHT us, but they'd be part of weird puzzles that get us through the map or something. and at the end we meet the doctor himself!
