#I'm anime all over

[determinators]

Regarding Dess, I think it’s possible her disappearance is, you know, something deeplore like Gaster or Bunker...

...but it’s also possible that it’s something mundane by the standards of a magical world. She could have gone no-contact with her family.

Deltarune has a lot of themes of abandonment.

Abandonment not just by the people you love, but by the people who love you.

And unfortunately, Dess would have reason to not want to be at home.

Noelle is afraid of her mom. And not in a good way.

cw for discussion of abuse and abandonment:

Noelle doesn’t feel safe asking her mom for the key when she gets locked out.

Noelle says she’s afraid of people, but...

...she says “I guess you too” and then says Susie is the good kind of scary. Noelle wasn’t talking about Susie when she said she was afraid of people.

In the hospital, she talks about healing her dad, and, with a scared expression, says then it wouldn’t just be her and her mom at home.

Rudy tries to make some kind of excuse for her mother, but then gives up.

Later, in a low voice so Susie doesn’t hear, Rudy confides to Kris Dreemurr, of all people, about this.

Rudy loves Noelle’s mom, but is so worried about not being at home to “balance it all out”...

...that he feels the reason he has to get better is to protect Noelle. Not to live. But specifically to protect Noelle.

In Chapter 1, he even asks Kris Dreemurr, of all people, to keep an eye out for her.

There is something very much not okay going on at home here.

I don’t know what the cause is, but it’s like with King and Lancer: whether or not they are ever in any “””actual””” danger, if your kid is afraid of you, I have a problem with it.

And it’s not like the Mayor doesn’t exhibit questionable behavior outside of this.

As for Dess, Noelle doesn’t seem to think she’s dead. This isn’t how you talk about a dead person:

...and Noelle’s search history indicates she’s been searching “December Holiday”, like someone might do to try to find a relative they’ve lost contact with.

Whatever the case, it’s likely Dess disappeared when they were both pretty young, as by the time the spelling bee happens, Noelle’s too broken up over it to speak her name:

And Noelle’s not much taller during the spelling bee than she was during her flashback with Kris, when talking about missing how she, Dess, Asriel, and Kris used to explore.

To get the important thing out of the way: there’s no question in my mind that Dess loves Noelle.

She’s protective over her...

She comforts her...

She wants to take her to new places...

...and in some echo flower dialogue from Undertale about two sisters making a wish that could be from that universe’s Dess and Noelle, both clearly love each other.

It seems like the options are that...

Dess’s disappearance was Deeplore and her abandonment was involuntary

It was Deeplore and she chose not to come back

At a young age she had enough of her mother and either ran away or went to live with someone else and then went no-contact

It might not make sense for someone who loves their sibling to leave them to a home life like that voluntarily, but...

...although the circumstances are very different, Asriel left Kris, and their home life isn’t perfect - there are still echoes of the divorce haunting the household, and they seem to have major depression.

And Asriel may have left Kris for a lot longer than they expected him to.

(It is currently past Summer. It’s Autumn.)

And, in general, in cases of neglect or abuse or problems at home, sometimes people do choose to leave their family, and they can’t always take their siblings with them. Or sometimes their siblings don’t want to come.

Nothing about a situation like that is good. I don’t have the right to pass judgement on that.

Whatever the case is, it seems like the police got involved, and it resulted in Asgore getting kicked off the force...

 ...even though, according to the townsfolk, he had a legacy that would apparently be hard to live up to, meaning this was likely a personal decision by the mayor.

There’s now been a rift between the Dreemurr and Holiday family for some time.

Dess’s disappearance and fate are critical to understanding Noelle and probably the entire relationship between the Holiday and Dreemurr families, so I strongly believe it will have an effect on the overarching theme of the game.

I feel like I’m at the stage where I need to start advertising this more but I have a webcomic!!!

it’s about cetacean sapience - the idea that dolphins and whales have the capacity for conscious thought and language. the link above goes to Webtoons, but you can also read it on Tumblr and on DeviantArt!

(3D model and animation by The7thSea)

ps: reblogs appreciated to spread the word!! 🐬💙

#dolphins #cetaceans #dolphin #cetacean #whale #whales #animal comic #webcomic #webtoon #comic #'dolphins and whales' is somewhat of a misnomer because all dolphins are in the order of toothed whales #meaning all dolphins ARE whales but i digress #sunderverse #anyways i still struggle with getting over the anxiety of self promotion #but i'm really trying to kick it in the butt here because i've let anxiety hold me back for too long!!! #i'm learning the importance of being a fan of your own work as a content creator #because being proud of your work is the first step towards getting others excited about it too!! #anyways check out sunder!! it's got dolphins! it's got WEIRD SCIENCE!! it's got a scientist lady with big glasses and a gray hair streak!!! #basically all the essentials for a balanced breakfast

LMAO. Greg is so confused. 😂😂😂 This obviously makes more sense to the audience, but I really enjoy when a character doesn’t know something that the audience does. 

But yeah, I guess let’s talk about “home”. We know Rose chose to fight for Earth, which meant never being able to go home to space (does she miss her home?). To Greg, space feels like home, or so the song says. But he’s trying to “escape” to it also, I guess? Interesting contrasts between them. And it’s so much more literal for Rose, of course. 

Rose was also someone who found Earth life beautiful, and fought for it, so perhaps she can’t see why a human wouldn’t enjoy living on Earth, or would want something different (the Gems don’t really seem to have a great grasp of the everyday struggles of people, lbr, despite protecting humanity). If that sentence makes sense. 

#man it's kind of unsettling how blank Rose's expression is #Greg is all animated and motioning with his body #but Rose #apart from a brief change in expression at 'how awful!' #is like #unreadable to me #and I'm noticing there is like #this faint shadow over her eyes #from the hair I assume #do I need to be on my rose quartz eye symbolism shit again #because I SO will be #but yeah Rose barely moves at all here in comparison to Gre #Greg* #also he's so dorky for singing that line to her LOL #su liveblog #s1e49 #story for steven

i see a lot of ya’ll self-depreciating over how much you cry and like...generally speaking, crying is a very healthy process. it’s an important means of 

expressing & processing strong emotions

relieving stress

experiencing catharsis 

moving on to a recovery period

this mindset that people just need to train themselves out of crying...that really worries me. bc the alternative is to repress those feelings instead of expressing them...and from firsthand experience i can tell you it is very much not worth doing that. i’ve been there, i’ve done it, i’ve bought into that mindset. i thought it would make me stronger and less vulnerable. instead i fell so out of touch with myself, it took years of therapy for me to learn to identify my own emotions again. i literally forgot how to tell when i’m upset or sad, bc my body had been trained out of expressing it. that’s an extreme scenario but it’s not uncommon, and if you spend too much time criticizing yourself over your own emotions, it can creep up on you.

i like to think we all know how harmful it is to tell children to just “stop crying, dammit.” turns out, the same is true for adults.

 just. please change the mindset that being visibly upset is somehow shameful. if you find yourself crying a lot, that probably means something in your external and internal experiences needs to change: you don’t deserve to feel angry, frustrated, frightened, sad, or upset so frequently that it distresses you. those are only supposed to be sometime emotions. 

but telling yourself to just. stop crying, or to stop feeling what you’re feeling? that’s harmful, and it doesn’t work. no one controls their emotions out of sheer will--at best we shut them down, and then pay heavily for it later. if we want our minds to feel better, we need to give them assistance, not threats. threatening or bullying our bodies and minds to behave the way we want them to will always backfire.

#not a shitpost #serious post #therapy #long post #ask to tag #team 'my parents yelled at me to stop being upset so now i haven't cried in years' #i really miss having the ability to cry normally. i didn't know how important it was until i lost it #look if you're able to cry over stuff like. a movie having a sad ending or a fictional animal dying? i'm glad you have that #i promise it makes you stronger not weaker #anyway i miss being able to cry when i'm not like. drunk or breaking down #having a deadpan expression when i'm experiencing sadness seemed funny at first but now it's just alienating #don't do that to yourself or your kids please #oh this applies to people of all genders btw #but especially to masc people bc society teaches a lot of bullshit about masculine people expressing emotions #you deserve to have emotions and to express them without fear of judgement #mental health

getting back into fnaf as an adult (if you can call it that lol) is WILD because i’m sitting here crying every two minutes over how incredibly heartbreaking the story is at its core when i know damn well when i was into this series as a kid i was just

I will never forgive Chicken Little for being so abysmally awful that it tainted people's opinions of Disney's early CGI work and made them doubt the amazing quality of Meet the Robinsons, effectively giving the latter a very undeserved box office flop

#disney #disney movies #chicken little #disney chicken little #meet the robinsons #disney meet the robinsons #meettherobinsons #i know mtr being financially unsuccessful can't really be attributed to chicken little's negative reception #but i SWEAR because of the styles of animation being similar #it made people think 'ew' when they saw marketing for mtr since chicken little was so fucking awful #i know some people like chicken little and i'm sorry i'm not trying to trash something you like #but the townspeople and ESPECIALLY buck fucking cluck were just so incredibly insufferable #and just downright MEAN #that it dragged the whole movie down #and that doesn't even count the confusing and all over the place plot #anyway meet the robinsons is an underrated gem and i will fight for this movie until the day i die

i think...there’s something simple and familiar and earth-shatteringly important in this. there’s a million ways that this could go but only one way that it ends 

#strangers to friends to lovers...CONTEMPT on either side to friends to lovers. mild stupid teenage contempt rooted in personas... #not to sound stupid pretentious but the fact that it starts with bkg being so up his ass that he doesn't care at all about his classmates #much less shitty hair over there and kirishima not liking bkg very much either. and it ends in love #god dammit it ends in LOVE!! it ends in LOVE!!!!!! #i hope it doesn't seem self centered that i'm saying all this abt a line from a random wip of mine i forgot abt btw #it just feels like such a part of the heart of krbk. i know i'm not the first person to type that #i wasn't gonna do anything w this wip but actually i think i might mess around w it for the content creation class i'm in #have i mentioned that here? i'm in this class this semester all abt internet prosumer communities #so we're talking abt flash animators and speedrunners and chiptune producers and ofc fic writers #not that i have a lot to say abt that right now but it's pretty cool and also kinda crazy #like we've been having class over discord these first few weeks and in my 4 years of college i've never been in a room of people #more open to admitting their potentially-embarrassing interests and hobbies #people are dropping their ao3 links and everything #i think i'm. still too scared to do that honestly i've just barely been able to admit i'm into bnha #forced once again to look at how closely i consider krbk a part of my life and identity to the point that i think if i let anyone know i #like it they'll automatically assume i mean i like it That much #which. i do. you guys know #in my defense they're extremely extremely good which you guys also know #the other thing that scares me abt admitting that i like krbk or even writing it as a part of our fic unit is bc if i have to face ship dram #a in a college course i will decompose piece by piece #i'll drop out of school months away from graduation #i didn't end up posting abt it bc i didn't think it was worth making a thing out of it but in my superhero class last term there was this #girl who also liked bnha so we talked abt it once or twice throughout the class #and she ended up writing abt b/kdk for her final and i had also mentioned that kirishima was my fav #and that was a situation where it was like. i am not going to have ship discourse with a student at College #so if saying who my favs are will lead to any sort of clash in that sense i am going to tread so lightly #i would make this its own post at this point but i don't really want to make a whole post abt this #but anyway i bring this up bc for our fic unit in this class we're gonna get split into groups based on general fandom interest #but bnha fandom is so rife w ship discourse (versus like supernatural) that having people peer reviewing each other's bnha fic is risky #business
