#asriel's story fucked me up so bad as a kid and STILL fucks me up and now i kinda understand why a bit better

[skrunksthatwunk]

somebody's probably already talked about this but i cant get that fucking mountain goats post outta my head and ive been talking to myself about love as a central theme of frankly most art but especially the art i love the most and i got to undertale and i need to talk about it

god it's all about love. wanting love, not wanting to lose it, grief, hope, determination, it's all fucking love in like 8 different hats. it's the monsters' love they show you (the mercy they show you) that allows frisk to help them get their freedom, it's the player's love for them that brings mercy in the first place, it's all fucking love.

flowey only got his power to reset from dying with his sibling after an act of love for them and you know what he did? he spent years of his life interacting with the people and world as much as he could, in as many ways as possible. he loved being with them and wanted to experience everything because everything was worthwhile to him because of love. and that greed for love led to oversaturation, led to boredom, led to him hurting people to feel anything in that absence of love. he never stopped loving chara, y'know? he was always looking for someone else to play with, someone who could make him feel like nothing had happened. so much so that he follows frisk throughout the underground, insists on keeping them and you there as much as possible, both bitter and needy. and he has to admit that frisk isn't chara to move on. you're not them. they're gone. asriel's gone, too, or will be after this. it's love for chara that leads him to break the barrier, as it was for asgore to try and stop you, and for toriel to take you in at the beginning and the end. it was the desire for love that kept him from letting go, and that caused him to harm so many, as it was for alphys, undyne, asgore, toriel, etc. him, arguably more than anyone else, hurt people out of desire for love and grief over it. and it's him acknowledging that desire and letting it go when it hurts people that sets everyone free.

it is love that makes you go back through the underground, calling papyrus and undyne and toriel in every room just to see their different responses. it is love that leads you to check everywhere before finally ending the game. it is love that leads you back to where your friends are standing, talking about how they've been changed by you, about how the love between you has led to this. it's love that makes you end it to see them happy, and curiosity (which in this case is often just greed for love) to some extent.

and it is love and greed for it that brings you to the reset screen. and flowey, whose desire for love almost consumed everything, that kept the people he loved from their happy endings, from their futures, that asks you to reconsider. having seen all you have, having seen his mistakes, and how happy your friends are now, are you willing to put your desire for love above their happiness? above their freedom? will you make the same choice as him after seeing what harm it caused, after finally getting what you wanted? because whatever reason for resetting you have, it'd probably boil down to love in some way. love for the characters, for the game (experience or lore), etc.

flowey's downfall, to some extent, was in the apathy that came from overconsumption. instead of cherishing the life he had, he had to know the rest. he couldn't let it lie, couldn't find peace about it and move on. he had one life, as do you, as do (in theory) these characters, one you would at that point snatch from them by resetting. flowey's asking you to think twice about whether or not you want to control them, to play with their lives for your own happiness. even if it is out of love.

because it always is.

#god idk does this make sense. fuck #i really like this game guys #idk i havent thought that hard about it in a while or maybe ever but it's soo so good god holy shit #xoxo sincerely someome who hasnt and maybe cannot play anything but true pacifist #yeah being in the ut fandom at like 12 was A Lot at least partially bc of how fucking HARD ppl go with resetting narratives #anyway i think it's cool #games and interactive media in general have so much power to engage the audience with and undertale rocks it with the best of em #literally so beautiful gggahrhuhaghg #the villain asking you if youve learned from his mistakes and pleading with you to not repeat them after all that is just #hhhhhh #i just think it does it really really fucking well #god #undertale #utdr #sheesh #sorry not gonna edit this its like 3am. youre getting the mush #im honestly rusty/never was that deep in ut lore so if i fucked up thats why #asriel's story fucked me up so bad as a kid and STILL fucks me up and now i kinda understand why a bit better #he just wanted to love people he just missed his sibling he just loved the way things used to be so much he did everything he could to #bring it back and it came back all fucked up. maybe theres a reason you only see the true lab in this route huh #and like with the amalgamates you can and should still love what's left. you cant make it what it used to be #but it is always worth loving anyway. #always fucked me up that you have to leave asriel though #flowey still deserves love. is it punishment by the narrative? is it tragedy? idk.. #he's stuck in the underground he forced everyone to keep reliving #but idk. wish he got out. i hope he's well now #and yes im aware these are fictionl characters but the game wants you to treat them like theyr real and you should consider their happiness #and i feel like if you missed that then you didn't get undertale yk #and i think most people can compartmentalize their love for these guys and doing the other routes and that's fine #i just choose not to specifically for this game bc it confronts you about it. it's not completely passive (or acts like it)

Underlust gets a bad rep, not the story, the concept.

TW: Mature topics/sexual themes, and miscarriage

We can argue the about the story and its execution all day, but the concept itself is the most realistic alternate universe and possibly timeline (more on that later) of Undertale.

For some much needed background monsters in the underground need HoPe [HP] to survive. Also if I'm factually wrong on any of this please correct me, and I'd love to hear constructive criticism and/or further thoughts on this.

Underlust starts with the idea of Toriel miscarrying Asriel which causes a depression in the underground, causing more miscarriages and loss of live due to the lack of HoPe [HP]. The underground becomes underpopulated and the royal scientist makes LusT [LT] (an offshoot of LoVe [LV]) to bring the population back up. By the time the seventh human falls into the underground, LusT is still rampant.

When not pushed to the extreme, this is very realistic for Undertale. Think about the amount of kids, and considering 7 children fall after Asriel's death, let's include teens, you pass on an average playthrough of Undertale. Pushes the lack of kids/teens to the extreme, in younger portrayals of them, we could even say Papyrus and Sans might not be alive.

The concept very well could be an alternate timeline of Undertale, similar to if Asriel and Chara didn't die, or Toriel and Asgore stayed together.

Sticking to the roots of the concept (while using the existing Underlust), suddenly the underground isn't so much overly sex-crazed but trying to survive. It makes the concept closer to Horrortale than Underswap or Underfell. Although of course, it's a fandom and people are free to write/draw things how they want.

With the context of their history, Underlust becomes something solemn and a fight for life. Furthermore, in the context of the multiverse and including the general battles between Nightmare, Error, and the Stars, Lust while he may not be as fight oriented as others, is still a Sans. It's arguable that Lust may better understand HoPe and LoVe/LusT better than any of the stars, having a fight with it everyday.

To close, Underlust is criminally underrated, and I wish people wrote about the AU and Lust more, because the concept is fucking amazing.

Flowey: You don't care about your own kid! Toriel did! I did! If anyone is listening right now, that should make sense. I bet a blind person could make the most rational decision here if that means they can't tell who's human or monster.

You're calling them dumb them nonstop, saying and acting like you don't even care, degrading monsterkind which had the only people who actually showed them love. What kind of a living being are you? Is everyone insane here?! I showed you proof and yet you still think we were bad to them! Why would they trust us so much when they ran away from you, their "family," to kill themselves, only to fail and kill themselves again for our sake!

*He's providing so much good reasoning, but this woman remains full of so much hate and ignorance. What's the point in trying to be nice if this is what he'll get? Almost no one else is even trying to speak up (Thanks, John) which gives thim the impression either no one cares and they're all with Chara's mom, or they're too scared to say anything. Either way, that means there's no reason for him to not lash out.*

What the fuck did you do to Chara?!

*Vines suddenly grab and whip the crazy mother, and even worse than the way the police beat Toriel, Flowey begins to snap bones and slash deep cuts without a moment of rest. He wraps a vine around her head, adding increasing pressure until it would explode like a watermelon. The whole time he forms a tall, thorny circle around them that would push away anyone who got close, preventing anyone from interfering and shielding the eyes of children and cameras. Once she is killed, he drags the body under the dirt and lets down the makeshift barrier. He looks angry and slightly teary-eyed. He mutters to himself.* ... I bet Chara felt way more pain than that.

All the others flee far, knowing what they're up against. (Kara) "Wow, that was fantastic." Papyrus had his mouth wide open. (Dess) "Why didn't you tell me about his power? Yeah, I know they stopped Clover, but an entire field of people. Speaking of fields, I should tell you something important. The Flowey in this world isn't Asriel. I don't know who it is. No one besides Frisk does." (Kara) "Well, let's meet this Flowey. John, you're coming too." (John) "Well, I guess the humans would kill me in an instant. I'll go." We all started 'walking'(Flowey just digs) to their home. (Kara) "Hey, speaking of which, what did make you want to be a good person.' (John) "I was one of Chara's classmates and… There was a brief pause as John looked to Flowey I'm not going to say what happened unless Flowey wants to know. Long story short, it made some of us very angry. Thank god she's dead now." Flowey popped out of the ground (Flowey) "Hi everyone." (Kara) "Um, hi. Why do you…" (Dess) "KARA GET DOWN!!!" A barrage of bullets comes Kara's way, which they dodge. (Flowey) "What's wrong? You must've learned already. I see you have a little flower friend yourself. Hi Buttercup, you have a fire inside you. I'm glad at least that never changed. So cat's out of the bag, I'm not just Flowey." (Kara) "Well, what's your name?" (Flowey) "I've been called many things in my day, a demon to some, a savior to others, but to you, buttercup Shows heart locket I'm your best friend forever!!!" (Kara) "Chara." (Chara Flowey) "Yep, that's me." (Kara) "This is great. I can bring you to the humans. I'll have…" (Chara Flowey) "You think they would care? You and I both saw what happened back there. Plus, it's funny." (Dess) "FUNNY?!" (Chara Flowey) "You don't realize how hilarious this is? People are as blind as a bat. I can't believe it sometimes. Humanity always surprises me." (Kara) "I know, but it's worth trying to see if humans agree." (Chara Flowey) "Started laughing in everyone's faces. You're being serious? Your pain is the most fun I've had in a while. Why would I give it up?" (Kara) "You are one of the worst Floweys I've ever met." (Chara Flowey) "I want to watch the world burn. =)."

Shifting Sans Chapter 10 "Seeing Double"

~

Chapter 1 - Chapter 9 - Chapter 11

~

I heard knives.

I tasted dust.

I smelled blood.

I saw their empty smile.

I felt my foot slide against the floor as I summoned blue bones, angled into them.

“Them” being plural, not just neutral.

Oh god, there’s two demons now. One was bad enough. Both were frozen in shock until “Chara” stepped forward. Through the bones. As if they weren’t there.

What the fuck.

“Those will not be necessary, Serif,” Chara said with calm stoicism. “I apologize for startling you, but…”

“You should’ve seen the look on your face,” Frisk was barely holding themself together, face split in a wide grin. “That was amazing.”

The kid was practically vibrating with poorly contained mirth.

Kid.

These are just kids, what the hell am I doing?!

I stumbled back, hitting the door, dissipating the bones. Holy shit, what is wrong with me? Am I just gonna start attacking every kid I meet because of that thing?!

Am I really so broken?

“I-I’m sorry I, I didn’t mean, I just, you were-”

“Dude, calm down, we’re fine-”

“It’s not fine, I just attacked you out of nowhere!”

“I mean, it wasn’t really out of nowhere-”

“You’re just kids! I’m supposed to be the fucking adult here!”

“They were only blue attacks, I knew to stay still-”

“That’s not the point!”

“The point is that we’d like to know why we keep triggering you so badly.”

I froze, wings flared over my head. This isn’t the first time I’d almost attacked them. They deserve an explanation. Even if I’d rather not give one. I don’t wanna think about it. But they deserve to know. Maybe it’ll even help. Even if the resets are still a thing, the Anomaly is gone and these two haven’t fallen as far. There’s still hope for them.

I swallowed hard. I can do this.

Am I filled with Determination?

Not really.

“Right, ok,” I breathed, rubbing my face with both hands, leaning back against the door. “Ok, I… I’m here. I’m fine. This is fine. I just. Need a minute. You two. Go sit down. I’ll be there in a bit.”

Frisk shrugged and clasped their hands behind their neck, moseying around the couch, while Chara hesitated before flying over the couch, their legs turning into a ghostly tail as they went and found a seat in midair between the couch and the large TV, ghost tail curled up under them like a snake. I openly stared at the two before shaking my head. I took a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds before letting it out slowly. I did this a second time before my soul had calmed enough that I could think relatively clearly.

I’d been planning to tell them about my experience with the resets anyways, as a sort of cautionary tale, but I hadn’t expected there to be two of them. That shouldn’t change things too much though, right? And they’ve obviously been keeping their own secrets so I should be able to trust them with mine. It’s just two kids, I can handle this.  

With one more slow breath, I walked around the couch and took my own seat. Ok, I’m ready for this. Or at least, as ready as I’ll ever be.

“So, resets,” I started. It only made sense for me to go first, after all that. “I mentioned I’m from an alternate universe and that a lot of the people I used to know are here too, just slightly different. Well, the same goes for you two. From what I’ve heard, Chara’s story is pretty much the same, just that your Asriel was an adult king while mine was still a young prince when he died. We can talk more about specifics of that later, if you want. As for Frisk… My Frisk had control of the resets and didn’t know that I remembered everything.”

“At first, the kid was alright,” I continued. Frisk and Chara were paying rapt attention now. “Tried to make friends, even got us to the surface. But then I guess they got bored and reset their “perfect ending”. They broke the Barrier a few more times but never left it alone as long as that first time. Eventually, they stopped getting us out altogether and started abusing their power. Which was fine, right? Everyone would just wake up next reset none the wiser. They didn’t know that they’d had their dreams come true, only to have them ripped away. They didn’t know that they’d died, or watched their friends and family die. They didn’t know. But I did. And I couldn't talk to anyone about it. Who would believe me?”

“It learned everything it could about us,” my voice was quiet, almost taking to myself. “Even how we responded to hardship and heartache. What was left? What more entertainment could we provide? Even though it knew us inside and out, we could still give it the thrill of the hunt. And hunt it did, every last monster it could find, over and over again. As Judge, I was the last line of defense before it could face the King. I lost track of how many times we fought in that hallway, long enough for me to know its every move and for it to know mine, a knife being its weapon of choice. The last time we fought, I stole a piece of its soul and interrupted the reset, which somehow landed me here.”

There was silence as I resisted the urge to retreat into my mind, away from the trauma, away from the spiraling thoughts that echoed so loud in the empty air. I sat there, legs crossed to keep from going fetal again. Worthless, should’ve done better, useless, couldn’t save them, lazy, couldn’t protect him, broken, how many times did you watch him die before you couldn’t cry anymore-

I took a deep breath. Talking was better than drowning.

“So, that’s why I freaked out,” I concluded, looking up from the floor I’d apparently been staring at. “I’ve been fighting for so long, and you look just like them…”

I trailed off as I registered their reactions. Chara looked suitably horrified, hands over their mouth like they might cry, meanwhile Frisk looked utterly fascinated. I could dissect that later. I really wanna think about something else.

“Fair’s fair,” I said, offering them the floor. “Your turn; what’s up with you two?”

“Well, skipping most of my story,” Chara began. “I was buried where I initially fell, on the southwest side of the cavern, somewhere between Snowdin, the Ruins, and the Deep. Frisk fell on my grave and something about his soul resonated with whatever was left of my soul; we’re still not entirely sure how that happened but it did, and that’s the important part,” they shrugged. “Frisk?”

His? I thought Frisk used they/them pronouns. No time to think about that now.

“I was avoiding going home by hiking around the mountain until I fell into the Underground,” Frisk picked up where Chara left off. “I landed on Chara’s grave and she started haunting me,” She? “which somehow gave me the reset power. After I realized what I could do, I used it to… uh,” Frisk looked away. “Don’t judge me too bad for this, but I used it to get what I wanted, to do what I wanted with no consequences, since I could just go back and act like it never happened.”

“I was only partially aware at the time,” Chara took over, feeling slightly uncomfortable. “But the more LV he gained, the more lucid I became. As much as I hated it, I encouraged him to gain more and more LV until I was able to contact him directly and tricked him into giving me control of our shared body.”

“Turns out I’m a bit of a psychopath,” Frisk deadpanned. “But Chara’s been trying to help me see the value of at least pretending I have empathy for others. Through the Chara-controlled-resets, we found a way for whoever wasn’t controlling the physical body to have an astral body, like Chara has now. The astral body’s got some pretty cool abilities and uses but we can get into that more later.”

“After being in control myself for a while,” Chara began again. “I gave the reigns back to Frisk on a more full-time basis and, with the help of Flowey, broke the barrier with the other six souls the monsters had gathered and some anime logic. We’d never managed to do that before and had wanted to save our progress but it seems we no longer have access to the reset power so you don’t have to worry about us abusing it; we literally can’t.”

I sat stunned. There was a lot to digest but the only thing I could think was…

“… it’s gone?”

A Place for Stories

I don't do Carrds or anything so i'm gonna level with you guys, this is a very simple post for me to pin up as general fandom information.

My name is Vega, I'm interested in a lot of things, I'm an artist/writer and I make dumb crossovers and sad AUs

I have several current projects and several complete ones

there's a lot of them so this is going under a cut, but here's my art tag and here's my writing tag and here's my AO3

AUs/stories i'm working on/have completed are for these fandoms

Boku no Hero Academia

Gravity Falls

Lego Monkie Kid

The Owl House

Miraculous Ladybug

Undertale

the status of any of these stories doesn't matter, if you're curious about literally any of them, or if you saw that i reblogged a prompt meme recently and want to see something in any of these AUs/stories

BNHA

The Magi Underground

On God I am still working on this. But it's what it says on the tin. Magical Girls and magical warriors still very much exist in the work of heroes and Quirks, they just have to be much more secret

Ships: Bakugou Katsuki/Hanasaki Momoko (Bakupeach) Miscellaneous other crossover ships

-in progress but it's slow bc there are SO many magical girl series i'm putting in here-

Undertale/Mister Peabody and Sherman

Twice Burned and Thrice Shy

Chara and Asriel were both revived, but Chara and Frisk have very... differing views on exactly who is responsible for some... certain timelines... And unfortunately for Chara, Frisk got to tell their story first. Chara ends up running into an unlikely dynamic duo, and finds before too long, that they aren't bereft of having people in their corner. Another human child, and the possible dog-monster that acts as his father are very invested in helping them out.

Ships: None

-In Progress but slow because this fic is too damn complex for speedy updates-

Miraculous Ladybug

Miraculous Rewrite

This is a project that had been hatched between myself and @gererrin, we rewrote the entirety of Miraculous Ladybug in the span of 4 seasons, serializing the narrative while also letting many episodes exist in standalone format, focused more on worldbuilding and character arcs, and also a healthy dose of queer characters, polyamory, and an actual sliding threat scale

Ships: So many

-Complete, spinoffs in progress-

LMK

Oblivion

if you know me for anything from LMK it's probably this fic series/AU Basis.

A second Porty Clone had been summoned and slipped away during a battle set in the indeterminate future, and comes into possession of a very dangerous magical artifact; a record with the ability to brainwash demons, and he's got his sights set on a certain fire demon he knows his creator is sweet on

(this is a psychological horror so mind the warnings, also there's a bad ending that's bore quite a lot of fruit)

Ships: Spicynoodles, but like, don't root for a happy ending for it

-on Hiatus-

Tyrant Prince

This is a splinter of the Oblivion AU, more specifically the Bad End version where Porty Clone was able to make Xiaotian believe that this whole thing is Good Actually.

You know what they say about absolute power

AKA the Traffic Light Trio deserve a villain au or two that aren't swap aus or possession aus

Ships: Spicynoodles, Freenoodles, Ironbull, Silktea (they're all like super fucked up though) and Cyberhunt (the only not fucked up one)

-in progress, being fleshed out by an rp with @unseelie-robynx so you can ask her for details too-

White Bone Amnesia AU

Xiaotian is the actual son of Sun Wukong, MK on the other hand doesn't remember much of anything of his own past from before he worked at Pigsy's Noodles, he's not the only one with memory issues.

Ships: Spicynoodles, MksDadsShipping

-Currently being reworked-

The Little Detective

This isn't TECHNICALLY an AU, but it's the main story for my OC, a six year old child detective named Wong Minyi, looking for her missing Father and getting into schenanigans in the world of Magic and monsters and solving some mysteries while she's there. (Syntax her father is Syntax this is not a secret) (also here's Minyi's general character tag if you just want more information on her)

Ships: None (though maybe some in the Minyi general tag bc she's a fun minor character to have in ship stories sometimes)

-in progress but its slow-

Animorphs AU

The Lady Bone Demon is replaced as the major antagonist with the Yeerk empire. a mishmash of Animorphs and Monkey Kid plotlines full of new allies new enemies, and the horrors of War and such

Ships: Tripsun/Tangsun/this ship has too many names, Pigsy/Tang/Syntax, Xiaojiao/Aximili, Spicynoodles, Ironbull

-In progress-

Theatre AU

Well it can't all be sad in here, this is my token patented Civillian AU, The Flower Fruit Theatre is one of the most popular shoestring budget theaters in the city, entertaining the masses with reasonably priced musicals with casts of college students and some old greats only slightly past their prime, they also find themselves in a one-sided rivalry with the most expensive hoity toity 'musicals are for fools' theatres in the city, the Bull King's Chambermen.

Ships: Spicynoodles, Peachtea

-not actively on hiatus but not currently being worked on-

Princess Bride AU

Its what it says on the tin, Red Son is Buttercup, Xiaotian is Wesley, the casting falls from there

Ships: Spicynoodles

-completed, getting additional scenes written up for the AO3 release-

Atlantis: The Lost Empire AU

On god i am working on this; summary to come later.

Ships: To be determined

-in progress-

Owl House

Prisoner Princess Luz

Belos has decided to adopt the human that's been causing him problems.

Her opinion on the matter is wholly irrelevant.

This is a dark one my guys.

Ships: Raeda, Lumity, Scarlow

-in progress, currently being reworked-

Gravity Falls

Equivalent Exchange

i kinda hate that i'm putting this here because it's so old, but for the sake of completion it's going here.

Gravity falls Madoka Magical crossover AU. Mabel Pines has been scoped out by the Kyubey, typical Madoka Magica dark things ensure

Ships: None

-completed-

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss: Mrs Coulter, misogyny and the His Dark Materials TV show

The show went hard on misogyny as a vital part of Mrs Coulter’s backstory, and I want to talk about how they did it, and why, and how it might have been done better. This is quite long (when is anything I write not, let’s be real) so it’s under the cut. Read on for thoughts on women, power and fictional villainy.

As a quick disclaimer, though: I’ve enjoyed the show a lot! I’m so glad they made it! Ruth Wilson is mesmerising as Mrs Coulter! There’s so much to appreciate about the show overall, including many aspects of Mrs Coulter’s portrayal. But the HDM team have also made gender politics and misogyny very explicit themes of the show – particularly season two, particularly season two, episode five – and I think it’s fair to critique that.

Let’s be clear: Mrs Coulter is a villain. She murders kids by tearing out their souls. She kills and tortures friends and foes alike without a second thought. She abuses her daughter. She upholds and advances a totalitarian regime. She’s a Bad Person, as confirmed by God himself with the unforgettable line: “You are a cesspit of moral filth.” She’s fucking terrible, but, in life as in art, many of us are fascinated by how such awful people are made. What drives someone to commit atrocities? I am keen to see such questions examined in fiction, because I don’t think exploring a character necessarily means excusing their actions, and because it’s interesting (I mean, of course I find her fascinating, I’ve written a novel’s worth of fic about her). However, after a few snarky comments (“What sort of woman raised Father Graves, do you think?”) and some subtler commentary on sexuality, gender and power (her unsettling MacPhail with the key in the bra in S1E2), S2E5 drew a weird line between sexism in Mrs Coulter’s professional and academic life and her vast and senseless institutionalised child murder, and the longer I’ve sat with that the more I’m like: what the fuck?

Look, Mrs Coulter doesn’t tear apart children to search for sin inside them and poison Boreal and break a witch’s fingers because she’s experienced sexism in the workplace and in her education. That’s… a very odd thing to imply. We have to remember that there are lots of women in Lyra’s world, all of whom will also have experienced sexism, misogyny and other forms of marginalisation (many in more expansive and pernicious ways than Mrs Coulter, who’s a woman, yes, but also white, wealthy, highly educated and very thin and beautiful), and none of them are running arctic torture stations. She will have experienced misogyny, absolutely, and that will have affected her in various ways that inform how she approaches her work, but to imply that being denied a doctorate is the reason she became a sadistic killer is frankly bizarre. Here are a few of the lines from that episode with my commentary:

“Do you know who I could have been in this world?” What does this mean? If she’d been roughly the same person in our world, the answer is: Margaret Thatcher, which is probably a step down for Marisa, all things considered, because the Magisterium is far more autocratic than any recent Tory government and would be a much easier institutional environment in which to enact her cruelty. What we’re supposed to think, clearly, is that she’d have been a different person: a scientist and a mother, and she’s had this realisation because she saw a woman with a baby and a laptop and had a three-minute conversation with Mary. This doesn’t make sense. We live in our world! It’s less repressive than Lyra’s world but it’s hardly a gender utopia. If Mrs Coulter had chosen the scientist-and-mother life (which, as I’ll revisit later, she could have done in her world but chose not to because of her megalomaniac tendencies), she’d still have been affected by misogyny here too. Our world is not kind to young mothers, nor young women embroiled in scandals, nor is the world teeming with female physicists. It might be a little better, sure, but it’s hardly as if those gendered challenges would have been solved.  

“What do you mean she runs a department?” This is just the show forgetting its own canon. Marisa, you ran a massive government organisation (the GOB), including a huge murder science research initiative in the Arctic. That’s a much bigger undertaking and much more impressive than running a university department in our world. Pull yourself together.

“But because I was a woman, I was denied a doctorate by the Magisterium.” This is the show flagrantly ignoring the source material to make a clumsy political point. In the books, there are women with doctorates (notably Hannah Relf, also a major player in the new Book of Dust trilogy) and at least one women’s college full of female scholars. Now, would that women’s college likely be underfunded and disrespected compared to the men’s colleges? Almost certainly. But saying that is different than saying “I couldn’t get my doctorate!” when women in Lyra’s world can. The show knew what point they wanted to make, and were willing to ignore canon to do so, which is frustrating. Also, given that there are female academics and scientists in Lyra’s world, and that Mrs Coulter is a member of St Sophia’s college, it’s clear that she could have lived that life if she so desired. But she didn’t want that, because being a scientist and academic at St Sophia’s imbues her with no real power, and that’s what she craves.

I’m not opposed, in theory, to exploring Mrs Coulter and misogyny in more depth, but I think doing so through an examination of the sexual politics of her life would have made a lot more narrative sense and been much more powerful. It’s better evidenced in the text – her using her sexuality to manipulate people and taking lovers for political sway is entirely canon, as is her backstory where genuine love and lust blew up her life – and it links much more closely with the most shocking of her villainy, which involves cutting out children’s dæmons to stop them developing “troublesome thoughts and feelings,” referencing sexual and romantic desire (and what Lyra and Will do to save Dust is clearly a big ‘fuck you’ to those aims). She even says this to MacPhail in TAS, “If you thought for one moment that I would release my daughter into the care - the care! - of a body of men with a feverish obsession with sexuality, men with dirty fingernails, reeking of ancient sweat, men whose furtive imaginations would crawl over her body like cockroaches - if you thought I would expose my child to that, my Lord President, you are more stupid than you take me for.” Don’t get me wrong, she’d have been a villain regardless, but I do believe that there’s a much stronger link between her sexual and romantic experiences and her murder work than between professional and academic stifling and child murder. It would have been a lot more interesting and a lot less tenuous.

However, the show is trying to be family-friendly, and digging into why this terrible, cruel woman might want to cut the ability for desire and love (and other non-sexual adult feelings, I’m sure) out of people could get dark. We know that the show doesn’t want to go there, because they’ve actively toned down her weaponising her sexuality: in the books, she has an established sexual relationship with Boreal, whereas the show made it seem like she’s been stringing him along all this time, and made it about potentially ‘sharing a life’ together rather than fucking, which was clearly the arrangement in the books. Also, I think Ruth Wilson said she and Ariyon Bakare filmed a “steamy scene” together, and given that only a single chaste kiss between them aired it must have been cut. I think they deliberately minimised the sexual elements of the text, particularly regarding Mrs Coulter (the mountain scene with Asriel, which I did still love, was also a lot less horny than in the book) and replaced that with another gender issue, that of professional sexism, as if the two are interchangeable, which they are not. This is a shame, both for Mrs Coulter’s character and also for the story as a whole, because the characters’ relationships with sex and desire are an important part of the books! (If this minimised sexuality approach means that they don’t use the TAS scene where Asriel threatens to gag her and she tries to goad him into doing it, I’ll scream). Overall, I think they missed the mark here, which is a shame because I also think it could have been done well, if they’d been bolder and darker and more thoughtful.

Why might this happen? Why might the show take this approach? Why might it be latched onto by viewers? Personally, I think the conversations we have about women and power are very simplistic, which leaves us in a tight spot when we see women seizing power for themselves (even in fiction) and weaponising that against others, not just other women but people of all genders, because we struggle to move past ‘women have overall been denied power, so them taking it ‘back’ is good,’ even if that immediately becomes a hot mess of white, corporate feminism and results in the ongoing oppression of many people. I think we are so hungry for representations of powerful women that we – producers and viewers alike – struggle to see them as bad, because it’s uncomfortable to be so intoxicated by Mrs Coulter effortlessly dominating the men around her, subverting systems designed to marginalise her for her own benefit, and generally being aggressive and intelligent and ruthless, and then realise that you are entranced by someone who is, objectively, a terrible, terrible person. It can be hard to realise that if you channelled the energy of someone who mesmerises you, you’d be the villain. So instead of sitting with that (more on this below), a lot of legwork goes into reworking her villainy into, somehow, a just act, a result of oppression, as her taking back power that has been denied to her, rather than grappling with the fact that for anyone to desire power in such a merciless way, even if they have to overcome marginalisation to get it, is really, really dangerous.

The joy, of course, is that Mrs Coulter is not real! She’s not real! Adoring fictional characters does not mean condoning their (imaginary) decisions, nor do stories exist for each person in them to fit neatly into a good or bad box so you know who you’re allowed to love. Furthermore, fiction can be a fabulous tool for exploring and interrogating the parts of yourself that, if left to bloom unexamined, might perpetuate beliefs or behaviour that cause harm to others. Mrs Coulter doesn’t need to be a feminist or taking down the patriarchy or a righteous powerful woman to illuminate things about gender, power and feminism for those reading and watching. In fact, it’s important that we explore what happens when women (most commonly white, wealthy women, as she is) continue to perpetuate brutal systems under the guise of sticking it to ‘men,’ because it happens all the time in the real world, and it’s a serious issue. Finding characters like Mrs Coulter so cool and compelling doesn’t make you a bad person, but it might tell you something about yourself – not that you want to be a villain or kill kids or whatever, but something about how you relate to your gender or women or men or power – and that knowledge can be useful! We all have better and worse impulses, and finding art that helps us make sense of ourselves, both the good and bad parts, is a gift that we should relish.

Anyway, tl;dr, Mrs Coulter doesn’t need to be sympathetic or understandable or redeemable to be brilliant – but you wouldn’t know that from how she’s been portrayed in the new adaptation.

AuraFell InfoDump

Hello! As some of you may already know, I have created my own AU called AuraFell! It doesn't have any Tale/Swap/Swapfell/etc counterparts yet, so this is completely new!

I'm going to dump everything I have to start with this AU below the cut. If you want to wrote or draw this AU please ask, it's still in New AU stages so I want it to be done right! But I'm very easygoing and I would love for more content to me made so don't be afraid (:

More info below the cut, it's a mess of about 7k words so bear with me!

AuraFell:

Let's start with the magic system. Most monsters have the same type of magic as regular AUs, nothing special. If they have an aura, it's weak or hard to use.

Boss Monsters, though, have Auras that are strong and super effective.

Boss monsters in this AU (that ive developed) are:

-Papyrus (Mockingbird)

-Sans (Terror)

-Asgore (Dad)

-Toriel (Auntie)

-Undyne (Shrill)

-Alphys (Professor)

-Mettaton (Signal)

-Grillby (Ozone)

-Frisk (Kiddo)

And the deceased ones with powers thus far:

-Gaster (Doctor...deceased)

-Asriel (Giver...deceased...?)

-Chara (Pal....deceased)

Nicknames! So nicknames are actually given to Boss monsters by the ones their aura effects. They all for some reason call them that name.

Aura powers fall under two categories, with subcategories. If your aura is in the same category, you're resistant to the other's power. If you have the same category AND subcategory, you're immune.

Ambient Auras: These are Auras that are area of effect, sort of. They are focused in one way or another but generally present at all times.

-Visual: This means the Ambient Aura is focused with a visual effect (flashing colors, a friendly smile, the written word)

-Audial: This means the Ambient Aura is focused with sound (humming, singing, spoken word)

Given Aura: This aura type must be administered physically somehow. It is not ever-present but can be "stowed" or "kept". The effect is imbued to an object or physically given somehow.

-Present: This means the Given Effect must be given through an item (a baked good laced with the effect, a gift, etc)

-Physical: This means the given effect must be administered through physical contact (a bite, a kiss, skin to skin contact)

Let's start with the skeleton Brothers' powers

Papyrus, AKA Mockingbird

-His Aura is called Lullaby. He makes people fall asleep. He usually does this by humming or singing. It can effect one person immediately or multiple with a delay. 

-His favorite lullaby to hum is "Hush little baby" (you know. The one where Mama is gonna buy you a Mockingbird...) and perhaps that's why everyone calls him Mockingbird

-He used to think he had no powers because he didn't know how to focus it, and his Category/Subcategory is the same as Sans AND Undyne (whom he spent the most time with) so neither were ever affected

- Category/Sub is Ambient (Audial)

Sans (Terror)

-His aura is called Modify Memory, but nobody knows that. He can speak to a sleeping person and influence their dreams, or speak a story to an woken person and they will legitimately remember that it happened that way. Again, it's most effective when focused on one person, and the details fuzz or change if he tries to stretch it to more people

-He pretends to be affected by Mock's lullaby. He's incredibly fast, agile, and strong, and he pretends he's only a good fighter when he's unconscious. This way nobody will risk a surprise knockout and they'll cooperate with him when Mock threatens to put him to sleep. He modifies people's memories so they will spread by word of mouth that the unconscious fighting is his power, not modify memory

-Category/Sub: Ambient (Audial)

Speed run through the others:

-Toriel (Auntie) makes pies or any baked good that are more addictive than any drug. Category/sub: Given (Present)

-Asgore (Dad) has Big Dad Energy and everyone wants to impress him, to an extreme. He's so strong he affects most of the Underground without knowing it, and to his horror most of the Underground seems to think that murdering others and getting stronger is the way to impress him. He focuses with spoken word but it's mostly unnecessary at this point. Ambient (Audial)

-Grillby (Ozone). Hypnosis. Pretty flame colors. Leaves his victims open to suggestion. Ambient (Visual)

-Muffet (? Nickname tbd) makes a paralyzing poison. She has figured out how to put it in her pastries but it's best delivered by bite. Given (Physical)

-Undyne (Shrill) has the command power. People follow a command from her. Longer instructions if focused on one, one simple instruction if aimed at multiples. Ambient (Audial)

-Alphys (Professor). People take whatever she says as fact as long as it's written in her handwriting. Ambient (Visual)

-Mettaton (Signal). His TV programs are brainwashing propaganda. He can convince people to buy or sell anything if they are watching him through a screen. Ambient (Visual)

-Frisk (Kiddo) radiates friendship with a smile. Ambient (visual)

-Gaster (Doctor) used to be able to say anything and people would believe him. Ambient (Audial)

-Chara (Pal) was able to convince anyone to be friendly to them no matter what they'd done. Ambient (Audial)

-Asriel (Giver) could give you a rock and you'd well up with grateful feelings. Given (Present)

So 

yeah that's the basics, that's the big peeps in that world. Basically it isn't really Asgore's fault the place is so fucked up he's just very old and powerful and the violence is mostly people trying to impress him (poorly).

Gaster is Terror and Mock's Dad but he died when they were young, 8 and barely 2. He died trying to save Asriel and Chara when he accidentally dropped a barrier-breaking theory that Asriel then took as fact because of Gaster's aura.

Toriel moved almost immediately after the children's deaths, and Asgore did his best to raise Terror and Mock until Terror was old enough to take Mock to live in their house in Snowdin (about 14 and 8 years old)

Snowdin is a really bad place now though bc Toriel (Auntie) has been giving away her pies at the ruins gates, and people are killing and hurting each other for enough G or whatever they think she wants to get the next fix. She's kinda lost it at this point, she keeps feeding them out of some twisted need to be needed

Terror was old enough and smart enough to know "yeah, let's not eat that". They're immune to Asgore's power bc they are the same types, but they still want to impress him the normal kid-wants-to-impress-dad amount so they never tell him when they need more support out of some sense of pride. 

Mock was a bit of a runt well into teenage years. His magic was very slow to grow. He got picked on a lot, kids stole his lunch money and roughed him up and such. He would hum his favorite lullabies to himself to calm his anxiety, and wouldn't you know it, but one day it put everyone to sleep!

So sometimes he doesn't even realize he's humming, he does it to calm his nerves, he a nervous bean, but he also  knows from the one time someone injured his socket that earplugs are good enough to slow his effects

He also learns pretty quickly that junkies don't sleep for long and they are way stronger than he anticipated so, he racks up some of his LV for stuff like that.

He also likes tea because his powers depend on him being able to hum/sing

Ok holy shit deltarune spoilers under the cut

I’m still confused about the timeline we’re looking at or if this is even linearly connected to Undertale re: Spamton Neo. Because obviously that’s Mettaton EX/Neo in the Creepy As Fuck Basement. (How did it get there? If these worlds are connected to real-world locations, what’s going on?) And obviously Spamton has some sort of connection to the body/Mettaton. Also: who is Mike? If you talk to him in the shop and choose “friend” he mentions someone named Mike, gets sad, then claims he’s a criminal?? Also also, I didn’t get through the Spamton neo fight because I’m a weenie & bad at video game, but someone’s trying to break through at one point when you’re talking to spamton in the shop.

Re: the ending. It clicked with me that Kris was the knight when we watched them climb out the window in the bathroom. I don’t know why, but it just made sense to me. So when they stabbed the damn floor in the living room and suddenly FOUNTAIN after Susie asked if they should BRING THE GANG TO THIS WORLD I was like “oh yeah duh lol” but also ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!

Also, if you go to the very southernmost tip of the town map where those doors are and you see Monster Kid and whatever his name is trying to dare each other to go in, like, we’ve covered this looks like the hole Frisk fell down in undertale, but what happened to Kris?

Did they crawl out of it?

If you go up the stairs while you’re still in the library and interact with one of the bookshelves, there’s a book about caring for humans for monsters. You can choose to look at the card in the back (toriel checked it out several times, shocker), or you can choose to look inside. If you look inside, it says there are “pictures of unfamiliar humans” inside and that you “shut the book quickly.” Once again, Kris is the only human in a town full of monsters. What happened to the other humans?

And what’s the damn deal with Asriel? Obviously he’s at college, but it’s clear that Ralsei is. Also. Asriel. I mean, same letters in the name, the sprite is almost identical to the one from undertale. Beyond that, if you speak to Gerson Boom’s son (?) standing in the graveyard to the west of the church, he says something about “the angel.” Like Asriel at the end of Undertale’s true ending? If you speak to Noelle’s dad at the end of chapter 1 he mentions Kris and Asriel making (iirc a paper mache or something similar) angel but ended up using all the supplies on “rainbow wings.”

I understand that maybe Toby just wanted to tell two stories with the same characters (every writer knows sometimes you just have to have a good AU) but I just!!!!! I wanna know what’s going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kindness - Chapter Eleven

“Tell me exactly what you did to Rosie.” Morgan’s dark blue eyes seemed to glow with rage as they stared into Peter’s soul. He should have known better than to trust an eight-year-old with keeping what happened a secret but, in his defence, he wasn’t in the best mental state at the time. He took a deep breath. It seemed like it was finally time to bring up the most shameful action that he had done… “Well, just to preface this, I had just lost my father-“ “Big fucking deal.” Aisling rolled her eyes. “We all miss Dad, but you’re the only one who hurt a kid over it.” “… And I was overworked and incredibly sleep-deprived. But I suppose that to you these all sound like excuses-“ “Yep.” Aisling scowled at him. Peter sighed. “Stop interrupting if you want me to speak. Originally, nothing was going to happen. I was just going to find or make a charger for Katie’s phone and that would be the end of it. But then… I saw her soul. So bright and powerful. It intrigued me. SCARED me. My own soul hadn’t been so luminous since…” “… Since our experiment together?” Aisling frowned. “You both did an experiment together?!” Morgan cried out, aghast. “Yup. About three years ago. And Peter told me not to tell anyone else about it. Oops~” She shrugged nonchalantly, staring daggers at her brother. That… hurt him. But he deserved that, didn’t he? “Anyway,” Aisling folded her arms, “Please tell me more about how you hurt my daughter.” “I… read in Gaster’s notes that the source of the soul’s power was determination. I thought that if I removed some from Katie’s soul and inserted it into mine, then my soul would strengthen.” He frowned. “It was… an idiotic decision. For starters, I had no proof that it would work. It may well have killed her-“ The next thing he knew, he was on the floor, clutching his cheek in pain. That slap was definitely going to leave a mark… He looked up to see Aisling standing over him, blinking tears away. “You. Unimaginable. Bastard. How DARE you.”

--ASRIEL-- “No, for the last time I will NOT have Gerson as our Royal Advisor.” “Why not?” I asked Chara as they marched ahead of me. “He has lots of experience-“ “Remember what your father said about him?” … That most of his days as King involved listening to Gerson’s stories at some point or another. “I guess…” I scratched my head, “If we let him then… he would be like that all day, every day…” “Exactly.” Oh man, I still felt bad for him, though… Chara must have noticed. They smiled and patted me on the shoulder. “Worry not, we will find someone. If we need a Royal Advisor at all, that is…” “I really think we should get one…” I frowned and looked down. “Yes, but who? You don’t know, I don’t know, maybe it’s not-“ Aisling stormed past us, coming from the balcony. I noticed her face. “Hey, what’s wrong?” “Do you-“ She wiped away her tears. “… Do you know where Katie is?” “Uhhh…” I frowned and looked around. I spotted my niece, chatting and laughing away with her friends. Bless her – she had so many already. “Over there by the sweets.” “Of course…” Aisling smiled faintly, but I wasn’t convinced. “Are you o-“ “Later!” She called out as she ran over to her daughter. “… What the heck was that about…?” I stared in stunned silence. “I believe some drama may have occurred on the balcony. Again.” Chara sighed. “Why are humans so dramatic…?” “Takes one to know one.” I smiled, ignoring my spouse’s glare. “Do you want to find out?” “… I don’t really have anything better to do right now…”

--PETER-- After a few moments of stunned silence, Peter unsteadily stood up again. His vision cleared and he noticed that Morgan was still there, with his back to the teen. “… Why are you still-“ “GIVE ME. A MOMENT.” Peter flinched a bit, not expecting an outburst from Morgan, of all people. And Morgan seemed to have noticed that. “… Please.” He said, his voice quieter now. He wanted to walk away at those words, and not have to deal with this problem anymore, but something told him to stay… He looked at Morgan, practising breathing exercises. He looked at his notebook, now open at a page full of doodles. He picked it up. Should he continue with that story idea? Would his family demonise him now, because of his actions? He stared at Morgan, unsure of what would happen next… “Should I leave…?” He asked again after a while. “No… no it’s okay. I just… need to get my thoughts in order…” He sighed and sat down on the bench. “You are a god damn moron, Peter. I hope you know that. You could have killed Rosie. Your own niece.” “… I know…” He looked away. “And if you did, then it might not have worked anyway. She could have… died… for nothing.” “I’m well aware…” Peter sighed. His chest felt so… weird. And heavy. “I… didn’t actually do it, though. I pushed Katie and I shouted at her… but I didn’t. I stopped myself.” “I… I know…” Morgan took his crown off and ran his hands through his hair. “… What made you stop?” “It was…” Peter clenched his fists. “It was realising how much I sounded like Gaster after he went insane. It was seeing Katie terrified, but still trying to reach out to me. Despite everything that I had done. It was realising that I knew that expression she wore well, from my own personal experiences that night.” “Not one of my proudest moments…” Morgan muttered. “Well it worked out in the end, didn’t it? You ended up marrying Aisling…” “Yes… after we broke up for several months…” There was a long silence as Morgan figured out what to say next. “What you did was… wrong. Incredibly wrong.” “Yes.” Peter muttered, feeling like they were talking in circles again. “And you do seem to genuinely know that. I haven’t had to nag you once since that day.” He patted Peter on the back. The teen stared at him in shock. “You do seem to honestly want to change for the better. And coming from someone as stubborn as you, that is what’s most surprising for me. And most promising. What did Rosie say to you? Since I assume that this is her doing.” “She reminded me that even the greatest minds in the world need time to calm down and have breaks. That Einstein’s best ideas came to him while shaving. Things like that.” “Oh right…” Morgan smiled faintly. “You do look much better. Do you FEEL better?” “Yes… I feel a lot more awake and alert now. I have more ideas, not for breaking the Barrier, but a much more efficient recycling system for all of the garbage that falls down here. That could help me in the future with more experiments.” “And it would help you avoid the constant risk of tetanus that comes from visiting the tip in Waterfall too?” “Indeed…” “And you promise not to do any more life-threatening experiments like that again?” Morgan asked, staring into his soul. “I promise.” Peter replied, unflinching. Morgan seemed satisfied with his answer. “I’m sorry for what I did, Morgan. It was wrong.” “Thank you for apologising. But it isn’t me that you should apologise to. It’s Rosie and Aisling.” He gestured back inside the castle. “I know…” Peter took a deep breath and headed indoors again.

-

He walked right by Asriel and Chara without saying a word to either of them. “He’s always so polite…” Chara muttered, before looking at their husband who wasn’t paying attention in the slightest. “… Asriel?” “Wow…” Asriel breathed. “I can’t believe it…” “I understand, but Peter making reckless decisions for the sake of the Barrier and for the sake of Science is hardly anything new-“ “Not that!” Asriel paused. “… Well, I mean, hearing that he hurt Katie was really, really horrible, but look!” He turned Chara’s head towards where Morgan was, still staring out thoughtfully from the balcony. “I found our new Royal Advisor!” Chara opened their mouth to protest. “Now, before you start, he’s smart, quiet, polite, wise, decisive but balanced and best of all… he doesn’t hate your guts!” Asriel grinned excitedly. “… You just like him because he’s your brother-in-law.” Chara muttered, but their tone was unsure. “And you only dislike him because he’s human.” Asriel sighed. “We can’t find any other candidates-“ “Fine.” Chara sighed. Asriel blinked in confusion. “… What?” “I said fine. You’re right, he would be good. But you would need to let him know first.” “Oh r-right!”

--MORGAN-- This whole situation was a mess. I felt so conflicted. Part of me wanted to punch Peter. Another part of me wanted to wrap him in a blanket and give him therapy – to encourage him to pursue less harmful scientific endeavours. But for all of the time that we were talking, he seemed sincere. He really didn’t want to do anything like that again. But still, what he could have done to Rosie… it made me shudder just thinking about it… I needed to hug her-

“Morgaaan!” Well, I got hugged by someone, but it wasn’t her. I looked up from the warm and fluffy embrace at my brother-in-law, the new King. “I’m so happy to see yooouuu!!!” “… Hey, you…” I smiled and hugged him back. How could someone so fluffy and cute be our new leader? Well, I often thought the same of Asgore, anyway… “So what is this all about?” “Weeell…” Asriel let go and started bouncing excitedly in place. “We were thinking…” ‘We’. I looked and noticed that Chara was there too. Oh no. “We need someone to be Royal Advisor…” Asriel continued, “And we thought that it could be you!” Oh. Oh wow. I… wasn’t expecting that at all… Oh god, that’s quite the responsibility, isn’t it…? “Both of you agreed on that…?” I stared at Chara. “Why?” “Because you are clever and wise beyond your years. You have balanced views of people and tend not to talk too much. Furthermore, you tend to know when people are lying, which could be incredibly useful for us.” It looked like it almost hurt them to compliment me. “Are those the only reasons…?” I stared at them some more, deeply suspicious. They sighed. “Yes. Believe it or not, I do think that you would be the best fit for my Kingdom.” “Huh. You’re really not… lying…” “Morgan pleeease???” Asriel asked, staring at me with puppydog eyes. “We really, really, really want to do a good job and I want to hang out with you more, too! Pleeease???” This was the new King of the Underground. I looked into his adorable dark red eyes, so full of hope for the future. It would take a heart of stone to say no to him… “… Alright…” I sighed. “I’ll do it, so long as you both remember that I have no formal training for this.” “It’ll be fine! We’ll help you out!” Asriel pulled me into another hug. So fluffy and warm… “Aaaa, this is so excitiiing! See you at 9am tomorrow!” “Wait, when-?” But it was too late. Asriel and Chara had already left. Nine in the morning would involve an early night. Ash would be annoyed.

What have I gotten myself into…

[lordeasriel]

another batch of things i like in BBC’S HIS DARK MATERIALS

i’m here again to praise this unreleased masterpiece. this time is a long post, sorry 

- i get the feeling that opening shot is asriel’s arrival at jordan. regardless of that, the colours are even more beautiful than i predicted. they’re warm and vibrant but realistic and in a down-to-earth way. the sky seems iridescent, it really evokes the idea that, however similar that world might be to ours, it isn’t the same.

- i mentioned the outfits in my previous post on the teasers, but now we have more to go on and they are still beautiful! they really set nice and varied colour palettes for everything, it’s unbelievable.

- lyra is striking! i love how they keep her within her own age. again, she looks like a kid and dresses as such. you can see her different stages as the outfits changes. the floral (?) dress she wears in that Pan scene and the one where she is running inside a scholarly-like building feels very Jordan-like (I believe those scenes are in Jordan), and the bolvangar uniform still manages to make her stand out, even if it’s meant to make her mingle with the other kids. i like the greens and blues as the scenes approach the endgame of the story.

- pan is so cute, and also stuck in his two known forms: snow ermine and beetle lol jk bad wolf i love you, he looks fantastic!

- dafne keen was the right choice, i can vouch for that. she looks incredible, wild and realistic within lyra’s role.

- ALSO ROGER IS SO CUTE! that poor boy. he looks so tidy and unremarkable, in a sense, like he is a servant boy, but he matters so much to lyra that she is willing to go north to rescue him.

- marisa is looking regal af. the blue silk is outrageous, and there’s that staircase scene where you can see her in a red outfit (i’m going wild here and guessing that’s her because it’s a magisterium building, and there aren’t many women that could fill that place, so it’s like 95% certainty that it is her). the white nightgown was striking too. they really toned down her outfits in comparison to the movie, she has a more varied colour palette, with blues when Lyra’s outfit is red, then red when Lyra’s outfit is green/blue. she also looks more demure and frugal, it really evokes that deceptive aspect of her character, when she tries really hard to be a good servant of the church, but it’s a sinner underneath it all.

- also, instead of dressing her in golden outfits (which i think would have been complimentary (?) to her complexion, i guess) they chose to make her surroundings golden, as you can see in the golden monkey scene, and the gun scene. her house is in warm, yellow/orange/gold tones, which makes her stand out in her blue/green/white outfits.

- ruth wilson has such an uncanny beauty that i think it suits the character so much, it physically hurts me

- THAT SOLDIER SCENE!!! i will never shut up about this. there is so much power and meaning to that scene, and it really reminds of that Subtle Knife scene where she takes control over the specters. that was too much for me.

- also, lyra being more fancy and polished in her scenes with Mrs. Coulter, her hair silkier and brushed, her outfits sleekier, just like Mrs. Coulter’s. love it!

- oh boy, asriel, my man. he has like, two outfits, and they are quite simple, but he is a man of different priorities, so that kinda makes sense, i guess??? i mean, he doesn’t have time to dress nice, he probably own five identical shirts.

- but, i like how he looks wilder in the cabin scenes, as opposed to his jordan’s first look. it feels like he gets stressed as his research progresses, so he looks more worn-out (?). yet, that last shot, where is underneath the aurora, he looks more vibrant and vivacious, which also makes sense like, this guys has been trying really hard to do this and now it’s done and he is thriving and living his best life

- also mcavoy is a snacc, man. grey-haired mcavoy? also a snacc.

- STELMARIA!!! i lived my whole life to this point just to see that beautiful daemon and i was not disappointed.

- boreal: also a snacc, that was wrong bad wolf. that was wrong because he is creepy and messed up, and you want us to want him. wrong but thank you.

- he seems like he is bowing to someone at the magisterium (there is a huge M in the architecture behind him in that shot). also, while talking to @his-dark-memerials​ about the bird daemon, because Boreal daemon is a small snake,  we arrived at the conclusion his daemon is in his pocket, where his hand is at in the scene.

- lee scoresby, our mighty hero, looking like he needs a rest from this people’s bullshit. i loved the hat and the moustache, and HIS BALOON!! wish there was more for me to say though.

- oh yes, there is more to say about lee. WHERE THE FUCK IS HESTER?? last time i did this it worked, we saw roger, let’s try again

- the Master. oh boy, he really made an impression on me. he had like, one line in the trailer, but he did everything right, idk. he has that melancholia of an old man who’s seen so much and now has to deal with the fact he held power over nothing. like, what can he do? the Master is a character bound to his own place, and he kept Lyra safe for as long as he could, but he knew the day would come when he would be stuck between Mrs. Coulter and Asriel and he kinda just accepted it. yes, i’m going crazy.

- IOREK!!! i am so fucking impressed. like, super impressed. he looks nice and threatening, and REAL. he looks so real it’s crazy! how can he look so real? what kind of sorcery is this?

- ah farder coram, he looks a bit stockier than i imagined, but then again, everyone is younger in the show, so i guess it makes sense. he is also angrier which i like. wish we could’ve seen more of him, and john faa.

- i really like the modern ambient, the angular architecture. the gyptian Roping looks really good, very earthy and welcoming, there are so many people there, just like i pictured it.

- bolvangar is clean, scary and vibrant, which i love, it really makes you feel trapped in an underground facility in the arctic, which i figure, is the point. also the silver guillotine looks creepy and rustic and it’s HUGE like, terrifying huge style lmao

- the magisterium looks beautiful and powerful, with that clean aesthetic. it really gives us the bad vibes underneath the polished look. their zepelins are so threatening, their soldiers are threatening, everything from that unholy institution is threatening, like wtf, i’m scared again

- wish they would’ve shown us the witches though, i can’t wait to see them!

#bbc his dark materials #his dark materials #like this is the last time i do this bc hopefully next time we'll have a trailer #then the show #i'm super happy with this #like uncontrollably happy #i'm sorry for the spam #i'm gonna chill now

Ask Meme: Chara Dreemurr

:>

favorite thing about them

baby!  chara’s one of those characters who i latched onto on a sort of “it me” level - like, a lot of that is just me projecting but it’s also just so great to have a character who’s coded neurodivergent and still gets to be fucking baby!

but also i love that they make puns as the narrator, so that’s probably my favorite thing from their characterization in the game itself, but tbh a big part of what i love about them is their characterization in (parts of) the fandom

(and, you know, a canon nb character is always great and they were a big part of how i figured out i was nonbinary)

least favorite thing about them

ummmm does “i wish they got a happy ending” count?  like, i wish they’d gotten to heal and grow up because nd characters never get that.  like it makes sense, cause their death was like, the inciting incident, but that’s why i write so many stories about brain-ghost chara getting to be happy. they deserved better dammit

favorite line

this is tricky but imma have to go with

brOTP

fgkafds um unpopular opinion maybe but chara and sans are my main brotp in this fandom.  like, they have a TON in common when you look closely - they both love to make stupid puns and poke fun at people, they’re both super cagey about their pasts, they both have brothers they would die for, they’re some of the most depressed bastards in the game, etc etc

and like, there’s stuff they don’t have in common - chara has a very set moral compass and ends up seeing themself as a villian most of the time by failing to meet their own expectations of “good”ness, while sans is more of a “just dont hurt me or my family and we’re chill” attitude, which i can see getting on chara’s nerves a lot but it might be part of what they need to help like, overcome their self-hatred and learn to accept themself

plus the two of them would get on each others nerves CONSTANTLY but like in a fun way they both think is funny.  they get chocolate together and sans puts ketchup on his.  chara replaces his ketchup with hot sauce.  sans dares chara to do something dumb and films it

OTP

frisk!  i don’t have a ton to say about it though because,, honestly, ships aren’t a big part of fandom for me lol (i learned by reading a bunch of shipfics that i’m arospec, and honestly it’s great to have a reason for why it doesn’t really interest me)

that said, this is another dynamic that i really love exploring, because frisk is another person whose moral framework is antithetical to chara’s in a way that could help them learn they aren’t such a shitty person, and also because bodysharing is a very fun trope to play around with

nOTP

ummm i don’t see a lot of chara ships that legitimately bother me (including chasriel, i don’t get it but it’s whatever).  something that really does bother me though is any sort of antagonistic relationship between them and the dreemurrs.  like.  the kid canonically loved their family a whole lot and their difficulty expressing that love in a healthy way is part of what i love about them because i relate so hard to it, but any sort of story where chara feels ambivalent toward or actively dislikes their family is a big squick for me

i’m also not fond of those stories where sans and chara are like, Mortal Enemies, because it usually plays one or both of them as a Bad Person

random headcanon

i thought of this just barely too late to add it to the autistic hc post - chara has about one million comfort items.  they’ve got their locket, their knife, probably five other Things Chara Keeps With Them At All Times, and they have a lot of anxiety about losing things because everything chara owns is special to them.  they struggle to throw away stuff that’s broken or useless

unpopular opinion

ummmmmmm, i dunno man most of my chara takes are shared by a good portion of the fandom.  i guess my main Hot Take is that the line “Chara wasn’t really the greatest person” says a lot more about asriel than chara - he’s learning to treat them like a flawed person and accept that they fucked up and hurt him and it’s okay to be upset about that, and he doesn’t have to see them as some kind of perfect angel because they weren’t, they were a kid who he trusted with his life, and they hadn’t earned that trust.  

i think one of the most important messages in undertale is that you don’t have to be a Bad Person to hurt someone, and that doesn’t make it okay but it does mean you can do better in the future.  asriel doesn’t have to forgive chara, either.  they deserve a second chance, but he doesn’t specifically owe it to them

Things I Did in Undertale

When I was playing, after I had accumulated a large number of fails, I decided to keep track of all the interesting things I did in Undertale to share with the world once I had finished.... only the list wound up being very different than I expected.

-Believed Flowey because I was a naive little cinnamon roll (OK, I watched the first 5 minutes of a playthrough when I was deciding whether or not to buy it, but still!)

-Got stuck with the menu controls and accidentally selected FIGHT and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t move between items (although it seems to me like everyone has trouble with the menu & controls, next time have the controls available to look at, Toby Fox)

-Got killed by TORIEL

-Supposedly this is a nearly impossible feat and that’s quite impressive I managed that... nope, Asher, I just accidentally ran into the bullets like an idiot

-My friend was giving me vague hints so I tried to fight her and almost kill her and she had a full half of her HP left and I swear I wasn’t.... all right FINE I accidentally killed Toriel are you happy???? 

-And I had no idea what was going on and then she was still so nice WAAAAAAAH WHY MOM NOOOOOO

-Stood there for a second frozen in horror before closing the game window

-Had to do the whole long home sequence YET AGAIN

-Ate the cinnamon-butterscotch pie fighting Toriel

-Finally get past Toriel but then FUCKING FLOWEY MAKES FUN OF ME FOR SUCKING AT VIDEO GAMES SHUT UP I HATE THIS GAME

-What the... These monsters are so weird, and act like kids, and WAIT A MINUTE everyone is attacking me for no reason even though I haven’t killed anybody (permanently) I HATE THIS GAME

-Went on a date as a child??? I feel dirty participating in such a questionable situation...

-JIS STIY DITIRMIND shut up you condescending game that kills me and then offers me false encouragement

-Joined the online fandom early and got stuff spoiled

-Got stuck on Undyne and her stupid yellow arrows, gave up until I got my friend to get me past her when I went back to college for Homecoming two months later

-My grandmother was watching me play and got really interested in it!

-Many people in my Greek house full of nerds: “OMG you got Toriel to kill you? That’s very hard and very impre-” “SHUT UP I SUCK AT VIDEO GAMES”

-I HATE THIS GAME

-Therefore I missed the anniversary

-Apparently I should have been picking up more items to use as armor and HP, oh that random junk was armor???

-Got past Undyne thanks to my friend and THE GAME CAN’T KNOW I CHEATED BY GETTING MY FRIEND TO PLAY FOR ME HA TAKE THAT YOU STUPID GAME

-Instead of getting to progress with the story, went back to do some arcane trick that got me Dog Residue (WTF even is that?????) and then did grinding for 1000G to send Temmie of all people to college??? and THEN RIGHT WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER had to do grinding for 750 more G to get armor that would help me (I now realize my friend may have suggested that because I suck so much) and then she wants to go to grad school??? How is she this smart????? wtf is even going on??

-My friend looked it up and said that it started at 9999G and if I had a price of 750G I’d died 25 times at least (i suck at video games i hate this game well i like it but i also hate it)

-Not sure who Alphys had a crush on but I remembered fandom stuff and I guessed right! Thanks fandom!!!

-Got mad at my friends a lot when I lost (although Jerrell deserved it for telling me that when the game crashed the game was over; I’d been too spoiled for that)

-Failed twice more to have enough stuff for boss fights despite trying to

-spent from Friday night through Saturday playing almost nonstop and trying to chat with my friends while doing so because I’ve waited so long to progress!!

-YOU MEAN I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS WHOLE FREAKY HORROR MOVIE SPIDER THING IF I’D ONLY BOUGHT THE STUPID 5G SPIDER CIDER??!!??

-...but I got through. I held on, and I persisted, and I got through.

-And that Temmie Armor is making things a lot easier.

-Still died left and right even with Temmie Armor...

-Including to something called freaking Tsunderplane.

-Wrote “fuck” a lot, Toby Fox, tried to write the Oath of Feanor for Mettaton’s essay

-I knew about Toriel and I think I knew about Asriel and Chara (can’t remember now, even though it’s only been 6 days since I finished the game it feels like a lifetime) but oh that New Home sequence!

-After all that suffering and the two months waiting for someone to peacefully get me past Undyne... it was a crown of honor to be judged by Sans. All of this- it has finally started to pay off. Bless you, Sans. (I am morally superior, look at me. *struts*)

-Felt for all the world when I was collecting as much stuff as possible to face Asgore like I was Harry Potter walking to my self-sacrifice in the Forbidden Forest.

-Called out for Asher, or Jerrell, or any of my friends, to sit with me in my emotion like no one ever sat with me in a time like this, called out like a lost child, confused and a little quietly... but nobody came.

-threw away things that I later realized were armor out of stupidity, threw away the worn dagger because somehow I forgot I had to fight Asgore... got empty gun instead eventually (but according to my save file I beat Asgore and Flowey by punching them with a glove. Sigh.)

-Asher, who showed up eventually, told me that I had to fight... but in contrast to Undyne with her yellow arrows and annoying music that I had to mute for my sanity, whom I would have loved to kick the butt of out of annoyance and frustration, I didn’t want to fight Asgore. Not in the slightest.

-Slammed that Mercy button and stroked Asgore’s face with a finger

-KILLED MY DAD IT’S ALL MY FAAAAAAULT

-OMG OMG MY GAME CRASHED THIS IS SO COOL

-UGH EW WHAT IS THAT

-But... to my surprise, I am not grossed out by Photoshop Flowey.

-Ran away right before my Greek house’s corporation meeting to fight an evil flower, huddled in the next room not talking to anybody

-Does Flowey not want me to keep playing and want me to go outside and do something better?

-No apparently I have to fight, oh right, it’s me being a naive cinnamon roll like at the very beginning of all this

-Went back in room, continued game during meeting with sound off

-Had to break when I got nominated for a position (didn’t get it)

-And cocooned safely in my armor, I played without fear- and when I did die, it wasn’t so horrible- kept going at it, and eventually received gifts from the souls.

-Had to break to get dinner, thankfully Flowey was still waiting for my response even though my laptop had gone to sleep for lack of power

-Slammed that Mercy button and stroked Flowey’s face with a finger (yes, always, I wish I could always do this, I wish everyone could be saved, in the real world too, o please)

-I’m back at the beginning, I think... maybe, if New Home is symmetrical to home... and I step through the door and... WAIT, THAT’S IT? WHERE AM I? HOW COULD I LEAVE? AND WHAT IS IT WITH THESE GAMES AND NOT LETTING US HAVE COMMUNICATION AND REUNIONS AND COHERENCE EVEN WHEN IT’S LOGICAL TO DO SO??

-But Asher said to trust the game, and- now, after I’m cradled in the fruit of my own kindness, after kindness has paid off as surely as Ned Stark defeated Littlefinger, and imbued with a calm confidence... I will.

-Was going to wait to play the second ending but wound up finishing the game later that night, with a member of the class of ‘82 or ‘83 who had never heard of Undertale before watching over my shoulder

-What Alphys was saying about souls... DO ALL THE PROBLEMS (Flowey) COME FROM SEXISM AND EXPECTATIONS OF WOMEN THAT CAUSE THEM TO HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM?

-Wait, why are they calling me Jess? I thought Jess was me as the player... later I found out that Jess was the first human, the one who is behind the Genocide route, and, in essence, the soul of the standard videogamer who grinds for EXP. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT, TOBY FOX YOU DICKHEAD! THIS IS NOT FAIR, I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS STEREOTYPING!

-Begged the ‘83 to hold my hand as I went to the end, and I awkwardly held it and he didn’t stop me

-IT’S TORIEL OH MY GOD IT’S TORIEL AGAIN JUST LIKE THE BEGINNING... AND LOOK! Everyone is here supporting me because of my unwavering Mercy and kindness! ( All of this- all the stupid dates and everything else I didn’t want to do because I wanted to get on with the story all paid off?) I love people talking like this, I am tear streaked and radiant, triumphant...

-Wait GOD DAMMIT ASGORE TAKE CHARA’S SOUL AND HANG OUT AROUND AN ICU OR SOMETHING TORIEL WAS RIGHT

-...aaaand what was I expecting from Undertale but Flowey ruining everything? It’s just like Game of Thrones or any story, really; you never get to keep your happy ending.

-Begged the ‘83 to hold my hand and he did

-But... cradled safe inside ages’ worth of grinding just to be kind, inside the fruit of my own kindness, with the assurance that I can get hit and not hurt so much or have nothing happen even, which makes it so that I don’t have anything to fear, and knowing that I only need to hold out and keep trying until the game delivers me its happy ending, knowing that I can, after all, trust the game- it makes me feel that even if I do die starting over wouldn’t be so bad, and that I am free to explore, free from my fear and dread for the first time in my life. I suppose that I am... filled with determination.

-Of course, I win, and I am crying, and so is Eric my ‘83 friend, and my kindness causes the villain to save the day, and oh! I get to hug Asriel, and yes oh yes I will take care of Mom and Dad for them, and everyone is talking and everything is beautiful, and I didn’t go all the way back to Asriel because I didn’t think I could but I walked through the land, yet AGAIN, talking to everyone, and then I went back, and I heard that Flowey would tell you to let Frisk be if I tried to play again, so yes, I am ready for my adventure to be over- I’m so disappointed that I’m not the one going to live with Toriel (we have a guestroom that they all could fit in while they get on their feet...), but I’ve had my fun and it’s time to let them go and be happy. I am sobbing and laughing for joy, and I beg Eric’s hand, and he gives it to me... and I step through the door.

-I’m sure many of you have seen how I have depression and lots of empathy so I feel bad things so strongly, how I was ruined over Theon Greyjoy, how I wish I could always be nice to everyone, and things would be okay for everyone- and o! This, this is my ultimate triumph, and it isn’t real none of it but this might be the greatest triumph I ever have, the greatest crown of honor I ever wear...

-except... fewer of you know that I am a Christian, albeit I put absolutely everything else before God, and playing this game has made me understand the idea of endurance, and perseverance, and acting as God wants you to, and faith in His providence, and I wonder if when I get to heaven it will feel like this.

-I LOVE THIS GAME.

-It is Sunday, October 8, 2017, at 12:57 (12:59?) am and I am tear-streaked and radiant. For once, I’ve gotten a perfectly happy ending, and yes, I do live with this glorious sunrise every single day, so: I say yes yes yes I will stay with you, and walk off holding Toriel’s hand just as I used to, and watch the credits for a long time, laughing with everyone’s happy ending, and at the end of it all (such sweet details are my favorite thing in the whole world), I get a second slice of butterscotch-cinnamon pie, the Annoying Dog shows up, I close the game embrace Eric who just met me but now knows me better than most, he leaves... and then I, just as the game wanted me to do all along with “you live with this?” and, in unexplored routes, “you murderer playing the game again and again”, open the door and poke my head outside, relishing the night sky and the crisp-cool air, and I praise God for everything that the real world is. I live here, and I can trust in that no matter what I have to do, if I just keep trying I can do it, and I’ll always, eventually, be taken care of, and I am absolutely, wholly filled with determination.

(I open the game again. Flowey speaks to me. I close the game. All is well.)

DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! (Chapter 1)

This story takes place two weeks after “WORTH IT!!!” and as you can probably tell, it is the sequel. I decided to do something a bit darker this time around. WARNING: This is a tickle fic and it has been labeled “mature" due to a large usage of profanity, but also because of foot fetish and intense tickle torture. So in other words, read at your own risk. Anyway, this is Chapter 1 of a 3-chapter story. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it. Undertale © Toby Fox

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

********************************************** DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! Chapter 1: A Both Fortunate and Unfortunate Accident

It is a Thursday at Alphys and Undyne’s house. Yesterday, Alphys left to visit her friends, Bratty and Catty, and won’t be back until later this afternoon. Undyne is currently at the house and can’t wait until Alphys gets home. Undyne wants to surprise her girlfriend by cleaning the entire house and she has been cleaning since 10am this morning. She washed the dishes, did the laundry, vacuumed, and dusted, as well as many other nice things.

It is now 2:30pm and there is one room that still needs cleaning, their bedroom. Undyne then spent the next thirty minutes cleaning the bedroom. After thirty minutes, there was one last area left to clean, and that area was under the bed. Undyne and Alphys have a fold out queen-sized bed, so she folded it up and got down on her hands and knees to clean the floor. Undyne got as close as she could to the wall and when she was nearly finished, the bed somehow unfolded and fell down on top of her. Undyne tried to get away as quickly as she could, but the bed came down too fast and she wound up getting trapped under the bed. Undyne was lying on her stomach and had her feet sticking out at the foot of the bed. Undyne is not being crushed, but she is completely unable to move her legs and torso and is in absolutely no position to push the bed up off of her. Her physical strength is not enough to help her this time around and all she can do is wait until someone shows up to help her get out from under the bed.

It wasn’t too long until M.K. (Monster Kid) stopped by for a visit. He has just finished school and wanted to see Undyne and Alphys since he hasn’t seen them all week. Yesterday, he had a day off from school, so he had a fun-filled day with Papyrus to celebrate his day off. M.K. is a student at Toriel’s school just like Frisk, Chara, and Asriel and every single student at the school is given a day off every other Wednesday. The reason for this is because Toriel believes students deserve a break every once in a while, and having no school every other Wednesday is her way of showing that. She even starts school late on the Mondays during the weeks where the students don’t have Wednesday off. M.K. then entered the house using the key that Undyne and Alphys gave him only to find that the two girls weren’t in plain sight. Undyne is currently trapped under her bed and M.K. doesn’t know that Alphys is currently with Bratty and Catty.

M.K.: Yo! Anyone home!? Undyne? Alphys?

Undyne heard M.K. downstairs and immediately yelled for help.

Undyne: I’m up here! Help!

M.K. then ran upstairs to see why Undyne was yelling for help and noticed that she was under the bed.

M.K.: Undyne! Undyne: M.K.! Thank goodness! M.K.: What are you doing under the bed Undyne? Undyne: I was cleaning and for some god forsaken reason the bed fell down on top of me! I’m not getting crushed or anything but I’m stuck and I’m in absolutely no position to push the bed up and off of me! M.K.: So wait! You’re saying that you’re trapped under the bed? Undyne: Yes! M.K.: You can’t get out at all? Undyne: No! M.K.: Are you sure? Undyne: Just get me out, ok! M.K.: I don’t know. You sure got yourself into a sticky situation Undyne. It would be a shame if I couldn’t use this to my advantage. Undyne: Wait! What do you mean by that!? M.K.: … Undyne: M.K.!

M.K. noticed that Undyne’s feet were sticking out under the bed. Two weeks ago, M.K. was mercilessly tickled by Undyne after he tickled her while she was sleeping. Now with Undyne trapped under the bed, this is the perfect opportunity for M.K. to get his revenge. M.K. grabbed a pillow of off the bed and placed Undyne’s feet on the pillow. Undyne tried kicking as much as she could, but she still couldn’t move her legs or torso at all.

Undyne: M.K.! What are you doing? M.K.: You’ll see. *removes Undyne’s boots revealing her bare feet* Undyne: Hey! Don’t take my boots off! Wait! You better not be doing what I think you’re gonna do! M.K.: Payback time Undyne! *rapidly tickles Undyne’s feet* Undyne: NAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! M.K.: That’s right Undyne! I can tickle your gorgeous feet all I want and there’s nothing you can do about it! Undyne: (What did he just say about my feet!? Does he… like my feet!?) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

Undyne went completely nuts the moment M.K. started tickling her feet. Her feet are extremely ticklish and M.K. is having a blast tickling them. He was hoping to get revenge on Undyne for tickling the crap out of him two weeks ago and now was his chance. M.K. just loves hearing Undyne’s laughter and she is completely helpless. After rapidly tickling her soles for two minutes, M.K. decided to give her a breather, but only so he could grab a few things before tickling her again.

Undyne: *breathing heavily* WHAT THE HELL PUNK?! M.K.: What’s the matter? Big tough fish girl can’t handle a few tickles? Undyne: IT TICKLES SO BAD! MY FEET ARE INSANELY TICKLISH! M.K.: Not so tough now huh Undyne!? Undyne: WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, YOU ARE SO DEAD!! M.K.: You just stay right here Undyne! I’ll be right back! Undyne: WAIT! WHERE ARE GOING!? M.K.: … Undyne: M.K.!

M.K. then scrounged all over the house looking for several utensils he could use to tickle Undyne’s feet. M.K. has a general idea of what to use since he practices tickling his own feet with various objects whenever he’s alone. After five minutes, M.K. returned with numerous utensils.

Undyne: M.K.! What did you just do? M.K.: You’re about to find out. *uses a feather to tickle in between Undyne’s toes on her left foot* Undyne: Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaa! Is thahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahat a feheheheheheheheheheheheather?! M.K.: Why yes Undyne, it is! Undyne: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaaha!

M.K. loved Undyne’s reaction when he used the feather. He couldn’t believe that sticking a feather in between her toes was enough to drive her crazy with laughter. M.K. can’t even imagine what tickling her feet with other objects will be like and is even more anxious to find out. After one minute, he used the feather to tickle her right foot, once again getting in between each one of her toes.

Undyne: Hahahhaahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahaaahhahahahahahahahaahaha! M.K.: Your feet are so gorgeous and your laughter is hilarious! Undyne: (Oh my god! He does like my feet! What a little pervert!) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha! M.K.: Coochie coochie coo! Undyne: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha!! M.K.: Time to take things up a notch! *tickles Undyne’s feet with hairbrushes* Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAH AAAAHAHAAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHH AHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHAAAAAAHHAAHHAHAHHAAHAAAHHAHAAHAAHHAHA!!!!!!

Undyne shrieked with so much frantic and hysterical laughter once M.K. tickled her feet with the hairbrushes. He scrubbed all over her soles and eventually noticed that she snorts every time he tickles her arches. He got even more excited when he made Undyne snort, so he then decided to focus entirely on scrubbing her ultra-sensitive arches.

Undyne: NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHHAAHHAT *SNORT* MHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHY *SNORT* AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHARCHES!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHH!!!! *SNORT* AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHH!!!! M.K.: Why not?! It seems like a great spot to tickle you! I’m making you snort! This is so much fun!

Undyne’s face was bright red and she tried really hard to push the bed up and off of her but to no avail. Undyne has never laughed this much or this hard and she is PISSED OFF at M.K. For his sake, he better hope that she doesn’t get out of there. M.K. stopped again after tickling Undyne’s feet with feathers and hairbrushes for five minutes.

M.K.: I am having the greatest time! Undyne: YOU ARE SUCH A LITTLE SHIT!! DID ANYONE EVER TELL YOU THAT!! M.K.: Yeah, my sister calls me that ALL THE TIME! Undyne: WELL SHE’S RIGHT! NOT ONLY ARE YOU A LITTLE SHIT, YOU’RE A LITTLE PERVERT!! M.K.: Careful Undyne! Remember, you’re the one trapped under the bed! If you keep swearing and calling me names, I won’t let you out and I’ll just tickle you longer! Hehehe. Undyne: OK! I’M SORRY! YOU ARE AN ANGEL! YOU’RE THE NICEST BOY EVER… NOT!!! M.K.: Come on Undyne! Say it like you mean it! UNDYNE: GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE FUCKING DUMBASS PIECE OF SHIT!!! I’M SO GONNA KILL YOU!!! M.K.: Ooh, you’re gonna wish you didn’t say that! Hehehehe. *rapidly tickles her arches with his fingers for two minutes* Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAAHA!!! *SNORT* OK HAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAA I’M *SNORT* HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHRRY!!! *SNORT* HAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAAHAHHAHAHA!!!! *SNORT* M.K.: See Undyne, you can be nice if you really try! *stops tickling her feet* Undyne: THERE I APOLOGIZED!! NOW GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! M.K.: Undyne! What did I say about swearing?! Undyne: OH COME ON!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHANT!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHHAHAH HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAH AHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!!!

Undyne’s sentence was cut short when M.K. did something that made her SCREAM with lots and lots and lots of boisterous and hysterical laughter. She was completely shocked by what M.K. did to make her laugh like that. HE’S LICKING HER FEET! M.K.’s tongue is very rough, which means that it tickles immensely. His tongue tickled more than the hairbrushes! M.K. doesn’t even know what came over him to do something like this. He’s discovering more and more about his foot fetish and he licked Undyne’s left foot with long licks all the way from her ball to her heel. It drove Undyne insane and her eyes were extremely watery.

Undyne: (I cannot believe this kid is licking my feet! Why does his tongue tickle SO FUCKING MUCH?!) HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! M.K.: *licking Undyne’s feet* (Why on earth am I doing this?! I honestly have no idea why I’m doing this?! Something deep down in my mind just told me to! And it’s… oddly satisfying!)

After one minute, M.K. switched over to Undyne’s right foot and licked it all the way from her ball to her heel just as he did to her left foot and Undyne screamed and shrieked with more boisterous and hysterical laughter. Up until now, M.K. never knew that his tongue could tickle others THAT much! Then again, Undyne has UNGODLY TICKLISH FEET!

Undyne: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAAHAHHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! (I just can’t stop laughing! It tickles so much! Why are my feet so fucking ticklish?! This is so humiliating!)

M.K. made sure to cover every inch of Undyne’s soles. After another minute, he took licking her feet a step further… by licking her toes!

Undyne: OHOOHHOHOOHOHOOHHO MY GAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAD!!!!!!!!! NOHOHHOHOOHHOHOHHOHHOT MY TOHOHOHHOOHOHOOHOHOHOOHOHOHHOES!!!!!!!!! EHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEHEEW!!!!!!!!! EHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEW!!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Undyne is really beginning to believe that M.K. might have a serious problem. He licked every inch of her toes for two whole minutes. He drove Undyne completely crazy when he stuck his tongue in between her toes and she found the entire ordeal quite disturbing. She could not believe someone had to guts to lick her feet like that and she is FURIOUS! M.K. has really gained some confidence with this experience so far. For the first time, he was in control, and he loved it. M.K. is normally one of the nicest kids you’ll ever meet. But in this current situation, he’s being very mischievous and he can’t help himself. But seriously, who can blame him? He’s living the dream of pretty much every boy with a foot fetish.

 M.K.: *stops licking Unydne’s toes* Undyne: *breathing very heavily* OK M.K.! I’M SORRY!! PLEASE JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!! M.K.: I don’t know Undyne. I don’t want to let you out if you keep yelling at me! Undyne: IT’S MY FUCKING HOUSE! I CAN YELL WHENEVER THE FUCK I WANT! AND I TAKE BACK MY APOLOGY YOU SICK LITTLE PERVERT!! M.K.: I’m NOT gonna let you out until you calm down! Undyne: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! M.K.: I’m afraid not! Hehehehe. *Turns on electric toothbrush* Undyne: IS THAT AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH!!! THAT BETTER NOT BE AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH!!! M.K.: Hehehehe! *tickles Undyne’s left foot with the toothbrush* Undyne: OHOOHOHOHOHOOHOOHO MY GAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAHAAD IT IS!!!!! HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAH!!!!! OHOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHHOOHO GAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAAD IT TIHIHIHIHIHIHHIHIHIHIHHIHHCKLES!!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!! M.K.: Now this is awesome!!

M.K. is having the time of his life. He just thinks it’s awesome how a strong, tough girl like Undyne can be taken down a few pegs with some tickles. He was looking forward to tickling her feet with electric toothbrushes. M.K. once used them to tickle Asriel and he thought using them to tickle Undyne was even better. After one minute, he switched over to Undyne’s right foot.

Undyne: HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA AAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! M.K.: Brush those feet clean! Brush, brush, brush! Hahahaha! Undyne: OHOHOHOOHOOHOHHOHHOOHOHHOOHOHOOHOHOHHO MAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAN!!!!! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA!!!!!

Undyne is not even sure if M.K. is even planning on getting her out! She really doesn’t like being under the bed any longer than she has to be.

M.K.: *stops tickling Undyne* I could do this all day Undyne! Undyne: Ok you little shit. You got your revenge. I know that you went through a lot two weeks ago. I realize what I did to you was wrong and that I shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Now if you would be ever so kind, I’d rather not spend all afternoon… TRAPPED UNDER THIS FUCKING BED!!!

Undyne has so many anger issues that she started swearing and calling M.K. names again, which is something he told her not to do.

M.K.: Undyne! You did all that stuff I told you not to do! To think I was gonna let you out in just two more minutes! Now I’m just gonna have to tickle your feet even longer! It pains me to torture such wonderful feet like yours! Oh wait… it doesn’t! I’m having a wonderful time tickling your feet! They’re… so… gorgeous!! Undyne: OH MY FUCKING GOD I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!! M.K.: You know what’s worse than one electric toothbrush? …Two electric toothbrushes!! *turns on both toothbrushes* Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!! *SNORT* AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *SNORT* NOHHOHOHOHOOHHOHOHOOHO MOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHORE!!!!! *SNORT*

M.K. focused primarily on Undyne’s arches when he tickled both of her feet with the toothbrushes. Undyne laughed, screamed, snorted, and everything in between. She was a laughing mess. Her eyes watered again, she couldn’t call for help, and Alphys was still with Bratty and Catty. SHE WAS SCREWED! M.K. knows that he’s taking this too far and in a weird way, he’s using this to help Undyne control her anger. It’s… definitely a work in progress. One can definitely be fooled since Undyne is laughing like a lunatic. But every time the tickling stops, you can tell she’s PISSED! After two more minutes, M.K. stopped using the brushes and gave Undyne another breather.

M.K.: Alright Undyne. I’ll let you out soon, but I… have some requests. Before I get you out, you have to stop swearing, you have to stop calling me names, and most importantly, you need to calm down. Undyne: FUCK YOU ASSHOLE! M.K.: Congratulations! You just earned yourself three minutes of nonstop tickling! Undyne: GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU LITTLE SON OF A BITCH!!! M.K.: Six minutes it is! Hehehehe. *tickles Undyne’s feet yet again* Undyne: HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHA!!

M.K. was tickling Undyne’s feet with a paintbrush and fork. He used the paintbrush to tickle her left foot and the fork to tickle her right foot.

Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAA!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHA!! M.K.: What tickles more Undyne, the fork or the paintbrush? Undyne: HAHAHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAAHA!! M.K.: I’m waiting Undyne! Undyne: HAHAHHAAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! M.K.: I have all afternoon Undyne! Undyne: THHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE FOHOHOOHOHOHOOHHORK!!! THEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHE FOHOOHOHOHOHOOOHOOHOHOHHRK!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAA!! M.K.: Awesome!

After one minute, M.K. began tickling Undyne’s left foot with the fork and her right foot with the paintbrush.

Undyne: HAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! M.K.: Who would’ve thought that a fork would make such an awesome tool for tickling? Not me, that’s for sure! Undyne: (Oh my fucking god I wanna yell at him so badly!) HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAAAAAAHAHHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

After another minute, M.K. tickled Undyne’s toes with a comb. This caused her to unleash lots and lots of hysterical and frantic laughter, especially when he moved the comb in between each one of her ungodly ticklish toes.

Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA!!!!!! NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAT IN BEEHHEHEHETWEEHEHEHEHEHEN MY TOHOHOHHOHHOOHOOHES!!!!!! I HAHAHAHAAHAAHAHHAHATE THE COHOHOHOHHOHOOHOOHOHOMB!!!!!! M.K.: Don’t lie Undyne! You know you love it! Undyne: NOHOHHOHHOOHOOHOHOHOHHHO I DOHOHOHHOOHHOOHOHON’T!!!!!! I REHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHEHEHEHALLY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHATE IT!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

After two minutes, M.K. got even more torturous. He once again tickled her arches with the hairbrushes AND licked her toes! He was tickling her worst spots with the hairbrushes and he once again stuck his tongue in between each one of her ungodly ticklish toes, causing Undyne to unleash her loudest laughter yet. Her face got even redder than before, she had lots and lots of tears running down her cheeks, she frantically shook her head, she constantly pounded her fists, and she was vibrating intensely like a Temmie. There was seemingly no end to this merciless torture!

Undyne: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAA HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* NGAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHHAHAAAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

M.K. stopped after two minutes and smiled triumphantly. He tickled Undyne’s feet nonstop for six minutes!

M.K.: How did you like that Undyne?

Undyne: …

M.K.: Undyne?

Undyne: …

M.K.: Undyne! Say something!

Undyne: …

M.K.: Oh no! OH GOD NO!

[skeletorific]

Every single Undertale ask you haven't answered yet. Heck even the ones you have.

I’m putting a hecking read more line because that’s a lot of shit

1. Who’s your favourite character from UT? Excluding the skeleton bros its Undyne. I love her I love her I love her she reminds me or Erza from Fairy Tail and did I mention I love her?

2. Who’s your least favourite character from UT? Honestly? Alphys. Its not that I think she’s poorly written (she’s very fleshed out) but I don’t really like characters that I have to feel sorry for. Pity’s not really an emotion I like. Plus she never really apologized to me or Mettaton. She only seemed to be concerned with how she felt. Which I think its important for people with anxiety and guilt to learn how to forgive themselves, but it would have been nice to hear her say sorry.:

4. What’s your favourite quote? Anything out of Flowey’s mouth

5. What’s your favourite soundtrack? Spear of Justice. So pumped up

10. Your first letter to Mettaton was:Leg so hot. Hot hot leg. Leg so hot you fry an egg

11. Your reaction when you saw Omega Flowey for the first time: CONFUSED AND HORRIFIED SCREAMING

12. Your headcanon about Frisk’s gender: Female, but I really don’t give a shit. Mae or gender neutral Frisk is cool too.

13. Which UT character reminds you of yourself? Sans, minus the badass stuff, but with the laziness, fashion sensibilities, and shitty sense of humor

14. Which UT character reminds you of your best friend? My best friend….honestly some bizarre fusion of the River Person and Asriel

15. Would you smooch a ghost? If the right one came along

16. Which UT character would be your best friend? Why? Like I said, Sans and I have a lot in common. I think I’d have an odd friendship with Mettaton if the right circumstances came along. And of course Papyrus.

18. Did you do sth in game you regret? I KILLED UNDYNE

20. Your favourite land in UT and why: (Snowdin, Waterfall or Hotland) Waterfall. The atmosphere and the music were stunning, and I loved the color scheme

21. Your favourite place in UT and why: (Undyne’s house for example) The Judgement Hall. Gorgeous colors, beautiful atmosphere, and I am a sucker for pillars and stained glass.

22. Your headcanon about River person’s gender:…..honestly, not a clue. I’m going genderless.

23. Your headcanon about one of the UT characters:……too many to count. But Undyne is afraid of thunderstorms and copes by going out to fight them.

24. Butterscouch or cinnamon pie? B-scotch, my dude

25. Your opinion/headcanon about six human souls: Not all of them are kids. And they are all salty lil fucks.

26. With who would you go on a date? The dates with Sans were always pretty chill. 

28. Do you wanna have a bad time?….I mean not really

31. Would you want to fall into underground? I think only if I knew I could help them get out. While still being, you know, alive.

32. Describe or draw your undersona: I don’t really have one? When I think about self-insert stuff I tend to just view myself as a human who ended up friends with them on the surface. 

33. One reason why you love UT: Story, characters, writing, unique take on old mechanics

34. One reasom why you hate UT: For a game that’s meant to be replayed a lot the puzzles are repetitive as shit. The steam vent puzzles in Hotland can go fuck themselves. I’m with Papyrus its a shitty place.

36. Your favourite amalgamate: Lemon Bread. I love them for no reason.

37. Your headcanon about Gaster: who do you think Gaster is to Sans and Papyrus? (Father, brother, uncle etc) I’m that basic bitch who lives for Dadster

38. Your opinion about bad puns: This game actually completely changed me. I was a well-known Pun Hater. Now I’m a piece of shit who lives for the groans that follow a particularly bad one 

39. Do you draw fanarts from UT? If yes, then what do you like the most to draw? Can’t draw for shit

40. Which of human souls fits you the most? Patience. I kind of let stuff roll of my shoulders, and prefer to wait for the right moment. I’m also lazy as fuck

41. What would be the first thing you would to show to Sans, Papyrus or the rest of characters in human world? Why? Roombas. Just want to see Undyne and Papyrus gush about it and watch it for hours, Alphys try and reprogram it, Toriel use it to clean the house, Mettaton feeling oddly jealous of the attention its getting, and Sans laying his socks on top of it.

42. Which song reminds you of UT or one of the UT characters? Why? I’ve posted about this before but “Salvonic” reminds me of Frisk after a Genocide run and “Just Gold” by Mandopony makes me think of Chara and Flowey

43. Your opinion on underloid: Haven’t listened to much, but I’m down. I like vocaloid.

44. Do you forgive Asgore for what he’s done? Yeah, I love my Goat Dad, even if he makes poor decisions.

45. Did you pay for Tem’s college? Once, because I’m a filthy cheater and wanted Tem armor.

46. Have you seen any youtube letsplay of UT? Jacksepticeye’s play-throughs are what got me into the game in the first place. I also watched dan and Phil’s.

47. Do you listen to any fanmade songs? If so, then which are your favourite? Yeah dude. I really love the “stronger than You” parodies, and fishy love is my jam.

48. What are your favourite theories? Chara is the narrator

49. Who is your favourite enemy? (Not including boss monsters) Doggo. His yapping face fills me with glee

50. Do you have any headcanons about Chara’s past? (Why they hate humanity, why did they fell to the underground etc) I had a lengthy as fuck backstory written up at one point, but I think they had a neglectful as fuck dad. Not abusive, but he just left them alone and only paid attention when they did something wrong or “earned” his attention. Nobody in their lives did anything, leaving Chara to believe that you can’t trust other people to help you out or care about you. They ended up in the Underground by accident. They were walking late  night, fed up with everything, frustrated, crying and ended up tripping into the hold. What sucked was that they weren’t sure their dad would even notice.

51. Who is your favourite dog? Greater Dog. That little bark noise made the world right for a brief and shining moment

52. What was your reaction to true lab? Fuck this shit I’m out….

53. Your fabourite voice acting: tehrogue does good stuff. And FUCK supershadicx250 and crashboombanger’s Fell Sans’ voice FUCK ME UP RN

54. At the end of pacifist run did you stay with your friends or did you come back to your family? Did anybody actually go back to Frisk’s family? Other than for intellectual curiosity?

55. Who is older - Sans or Papyrus? For some reason regardless of universe I always see Papyrus as the older one.59. Your favourite puzzle: That one with Mettaton in the Dungeon

60. Which battle was the hardest for you? FUCKING WOSHUA I HATE THAT BATTLE I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I CAN’T FIGHT WOSHUA

61. Did you still hate Flowey after you discovered his true indentity? I never hated Flowey.

62. The saddest moment: The God of Hyperdeath begging me to stop trying to abandon him

63. Which ending is your favourite? True Pacifist, obvs.

65. Any post pacifist run headcanons? I love PTA!Sans as much as the next girl but PTA!Papyrus is where its at. Also Alphys is introduced to a whole new world of anime because the only anime that ends up Underground is the crap kind that people throw away.

66. Your favourite NPC: I’m guessing you mean side character? Gerson. Love me some cantankerous old people

67. Humans or monsters? I REFUSE THIS CHOICE

68. The funniest situation: Temmie Village released horrified and manic giggles out of me, but also the date with Papyrus.

69. Skeletonfucker, robotfucker, goatfucker or kinkshaming? *looks at Red*………..kinkshaming (JK total skelefucker)

70. When playing for the first time how many candies did you take? All of them. Fuck da police.

71. Did you kill or spare Flowey at the end of the game? Spared, but hot damn I wanted to kill him.

72. If you had to be one of the main characters, which would you choose? Undyne. I want that hair and muscle tone74. Which character(s) would you like to cosplay? I’m not much of a cosplayer but I wouldn’t mind doing Chara. I’ve kind of got the hair anyways.

#undertale ask meme

[askfallenroyalty]

Ok. it’s time to talk about Asgore

in my repost (which, admittedly i wrote when upset from irl personal things going on, but that’s beside the point) i said i wasn’t up for discussing discourse and how i figured nobody would respect my boundaries and i was right. Again, besides the point cause now I want to talk about it to put this to rest.

1) The word use of Pathetic. ok so i called the situation pathetic and i’ve had some askers say i’m using the wrong word but

i’m not. Google is your friend. I meant he was pitied by the 6 revived souls.

Asgore, if you actually read my blog, looks like this:

He’s aged! He’s an old grandpa in both spirit and body! When Asriel got his body and soul back, because they’re boss monsters the parents aged along with their child! He looks like he’s 80.

The kids seeing this sad old man repenting and doing everything he can to fix what he’s done is sad. It’s a pathetic sight.

2)But we don’t know if Asgore killed the kids!/Let Asgore still have kids!

The kids never made it “past asgore” for context. The tweet is vague and I prefer to use canon from the actual games than tweets which toby has said aren’t canon. Like, tweets are nice for fanon speculation but it doesn’t hold as much ground for me. Like. Why is this even argument it doesn’t matter because

Asgore still declared war. He is still a murderer no matter how you spin it. He declared whatever humans fall underground are to be murdered. If he did not say this, it would be illegal and preposterous to attack and kill a human. Asgore is indirectly or directly responsible for the kid’s deaths. Nothing changes this.

The 6 souls are aware they’ve been murdered and brought back, and they are aware it’s Asgore’s fault. Why the hell would they want to live or be friends with their murderer?

3)BUT ALL monsters tried to kill frisk!

SO? Look, a lot of monsters aren’t even aware frisk is human and aren’t trying to kill frisk. And the one’s that do -yes it’s on them for carrying out orders but it’s still ASGORE’S FAULT TOO! He can still be responsible for declaring war. For god’s sake. Stop romanticizing this. It’s not funny or quirky that monsters tried to/ have killed frisk.

4) You’re abliest for condemning Asgore when he’s suicidal.

A literal galaxy brain take right there. I’m literally a suicidal person. I struggle with suicidal thoughts at least once a day. I have sympathy for Asgore, I’ve cried over the neutral endings. I LIKE him even while condemning him for being a bad leader and for fucking up! I like that he’s driven the plot to exist and for UT’s story to hold such a punch to me. I love this game! And! He’s a video game character who I like because he’s complicated! It’s not hard to look into my artwork or the blog itself to figure out my stance on Asgore and mental health.

IN CLOSING:

So I called Asgore Pathetic and people took it to mean this definition.

You know what actually is that definition of Pathetic? Harassing a stranger, coming at to them when they asked not to make discourse on a video game character. Sending in multi-parted asks with hostility and bad faith.

No you do not have to like asgore, no you’re not bad for liking asgore, its fine if you think he should still be able to have kids (he’s still Asriel’s parent in this au!) you’re allowed to feel and think anything you want. I don’t care. Don’t bother me when I ask not to be just so you can get your opinion thrown at me. I’m not your friend and I don’t care what you think.

Never bother me like this again 🤡  I’m fine w/ discussing this further but let’s not be petty or mean, thanks.

#am i still mad? yes. you should of seen the bs asks i got. #not art #ooc #tbd #DO NOT REBLOG #please and thank you. #long post #child murder for black list #i can't believe i need to add this next tag #undertale discourse #suicide mention

[im-a-fading-star]

{ okay, this is much too long for any kinfession blog. i was planning on putting it in undertalekinfessions but then i realized i'd need to paste down like 5 asks or more for them, and fictionkinfessions is closed so,, i guess i'll just throw this out here. }

All of these memories have finally been tearing me apart, and I am so sick of it. I see constantly ALL of these theories, sentence after sentence, of how throughout my WHOLE time in the underground, I was manipulating my family, emotionally manipulating Asriel and enjoying the fun in 'slaughtering everyone in the Underground'. Being careless. Being spiteful of not only humanity, but the Underground itself, when they've taught me what love and determination even was. Even Frisk. They think I'm the HATE of humanity itself. The embodiment of evil.

And then there's the theories, comics and stories and the like that interpret me much like Sans; Depression-filled to the core. Yeah, maybe that was me, but I wasn't constantly wallowing, sobbing, and slitting my wrists every single second. Isn't depression usually silent? Always creeps onto you at the worst times? I was isolated, alone when I cried. and I never bothered. Held it all in. Never let Asriel found out, sure he could see it a lot, very few times he caught me hurting myself (I hid it with facades but we all know how well that turned out), and I appreciated the little guy's help, never shoved it away. see, People make me to be the most fucked up thing that Asriel has all over his plate. At this point, I'm wondering if these are even true, but I digress.

I want people to know that I wasn't the goddamn damsel in distress 24/7, true Asriel and the family had to put up with my bullshit, and I DID cut, and did other awful things to my skin (including picking at it as I had dermatillominia). but aside from that, i was fuckin’ good to Asriel. I treated him as any gentle family would treat their kids. I freaked out whenever he got a small splinter, for God's sake! I was all for (violently) defending him when people tried to beat him down, letting him vent to me and making sure he was comfy in his own bed. mother taught me how to make pie simply so I could always wake my lil' bro up with breakfast in bed. I even did the same for Mom and Dad! Y’know. I knit Dad a sweater and all and inspired Mom to be a teacher.

My words were sweet as chocolate to him, I only ever called him "Crybaby" when we were playing, and sometimes I hurt him, sure, but did I regret it? No? FUCK YES I DID! You see why I’m upset? I'm always implied as a bully, even in """Soft Chara""" fics. I'm always shown to be hurting him in some way and laughing at his pain. That's the exact opposite of what I wanted to be. That's what my fuckin’ birth parents were, I was NOTHING to them, and Asriel was EVERYTHING to me.

The few times I've truly EVER been selfish and manipulative, and maybe even truly abusive is when I've controlled him to go along with the buttercup plan. But I wanted what would change his life for the better. I warped the plan in finding a way to keep him alive as I battled humans off him when he carried me to the gardens. I wanted him to see the sunlight, mom and dad, everyone else below. I wanted him to see the aurora lights, and the gleaming little stars at night instead of the decoy glitter in Waterfall. I knew there needed to be sacrifices to make true changes.

I didn’t poison Dad on purpose either. And ever heard of some people laughing whenever something bad happens, but they don’t mean it and they’re in immense distress? Ding-dong, you guessed how I felt there! It was so “funny”, I was practically clawing at my chest. No, literally. You can guess how much I was ashamed in myself. But I learnt a lot from buttercup poisoning.

But I didn't know it'd end this badly. I never knew it would end in despair and cause the whole underground to fall into mayhem and grief. I didn't know it'd end up causing Mother and Father to divorce, and I didn't know it'd end with my baby brother dead with me.

And then turn into a little 6 petaled beast devoid of emotion.

And I knew that was all my fault.

True, what happened to me was shit. everything that was bad had caused me to want suicide and topple into the underground, but I wasn't worthy of pity. I'm not perfect. I'm not a gentle butterfly, but I’m not the manipulative, abusive harbinger of hell itself that even planned 'it' from the start. as much as I hate it, I'm just human. Like everyone else is.

The only true parts were homicidal tendencies and thoughts (Which I NEVER acted upon unless influenced! Ya know, I’m talking about the cruel anomalies out there who get their kicks in shredding family away from me and teaching me genocide was all for a reason!), severe depression and suicidal tendencies, I was abused, I was influenced by abuse and only did some which I regret with every ounce of my SOUL, scars littering my body, and yeah, my sass and sarcasm, definitely.

But I’m still human.

I don’t know why they didn't see that. I just you all to understand. I just want my family to know, if ANY of them is out there... ANY of them. Mother, father and Asriel...

I'm sorry.

Please come back.

I’m so much alone than you think.
