thinking about how the extra area added on to a pacifist run of undertale, the true lab, is about alphys's past mistakes. how it ends with the story reaffirming that, despite the pain she's caused, the thing that matters is that she has now made the choice to do the right thing. she's still worthy of her friends' love.

thinking about how undertale doesn't expect the player to get a pacifist ending for the first time. how it's more likely than not that the player will kill toriel the first time they battle her, how lots of players don't initially figure out how to end undyne's fight without killing her, etc. what it expects — not even expects, really, but hopes — is that the player, if they care enough, will use their canonically acknowledged power over time to make up for those mistakes.

no matter how many neutral runs a player has done before committing to the pacifist run, the thing that matters to the characters, to the story, is that you've chosen, now, to do the right thing.

compared to alphys, the player honestly gets off lightly, in that you're the only one (other than flowey) who really remembers any harm you might have caused. and any direct guilting the game could have done about it is long past at this point. instead, as undertale often does, it makes its point via parallels: alphys caused harm, and she knows it. she has committed to being better. in doing so, she has unlocked for herself a better ending to her story. and she deserves it. she's forgiven.

those structural narrative parallels are all over undertale, if you know where to look. and that's one of the things that makes it so fuckin' good.

#undertale #alphys #true lab #this inspired by a mutual's alphys posting #and a discord convo i had a couple weeks back about ut's stance on ''punishing'' the player vs the monsters for their actions #and thoughts i've had generally post a certain fangame with a color in its name about just how well ut is structured as a narrative #everyone rightfully praises toby fox's character writing but stuff like this i think flies under the radar a bit by comparison #and it deserves to be appreciated #there's obvious Lore reasons why the true lab is only visited in a pacifist run (what's revealed about chara and flowey) #but this is the other half of it: the message of alphys's story hits hardest on a paci route post neutral runs #toby fox is a good writer more often than not

Kokichisake-onna

*Happy anime narrator voice*: “And thus, Kokichi has once again successfully evaded the dread of emotional openness!”

Also here’s a random selection of derpy concept doodles for this comic :)

Thank you byeeeeee

#gonta gokuhara #gokuhara gonta #kokichi ouma #ouma kokichi #kokichi oma #featuring shuichi xD #ougoku #awwgoku #my art #I wanted to post it on ougoku day but work and migraines piled up on me and I really wanted to give this one the time it needs! #If you know the legend you know why Shuichi is panicking XDD #Look into Kokichi's eyeballs in panel 3 and see the sad hope against hope and yet! he still actively sabotages any comfort coming his way! #Is Gonta just kind or is his compassion a warped mix of compulsive fawning and misplaced empathy that keeps inviting menace into his life? #there's a secret sadness to this silly comic lmao and it's those poor sods' autopilots #I say laughing but by god do they need help #anyway enjoy! I might try posting more of Gonta ships I like - like this one; or with Shuichi; and some others 8D #btw I LOVE Gonta's scariest sprite - fantastic detail bc it does look like a snarl and ofc a wild child would imitate animal expressions! #and 2 out of 3 times he uses it he's actually NOT angry but hyped or frustrated - both cases also smth I appreciate for certain reasons #his actual 'serious angry' sprite is far more toned down in comparison

love love love those vague and romantic ass ds2 flavor texts

#'WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO BELIEVE?' :) #replaying ds1 and damn are the item descriptions pretty plain in comparison #they still say meaningful things when they want yeah but not as hard as 2 did methinks #neat thing to appreciate them iterating on #:) #dark souls #dark souls 2 #ds2 #them doing that dying history theme of the game thru these things *chef kiss noise* yeah we like that #nofuckinshit 1 trumps it in most ways as a put together videogame but we all have our moments

“It didn’t take did it?”

Is the most heartbreaking line in the entirety of all 11 seasons and 2 movies of The X-Files.

#so much goes into this process that txf didn’t cover #their combined sadness is crushing #i do not think that the writers appreciated the gravity of this journey even a fraction of what it deserved #not only will you battle mutants and deviants and sinister government conspiracies #you’ll battle infertility as well #something so incredibly intimate and devastating #before you even allow yourselves to lean into each other as two people should taking on something this heavy #tbh the show ‘friends’ handled it so well by comparison #it just got me thinking #it needs to be talked about more

hiii lindi im still in school but i just wanted to tell u that u gave me the courage to stand up against the narrative the school has set for us about palestine and israel, ive printed out hundreds of palestinian flags and me and like 10 others are sticking them around school. thank you for making me courageous. <3

I’m so proud of you, anon. Truly. And assign the thanks where it should be assigned, to yourself for putting in the effort and bravery to do something like that. It may seem small to others, but if there’s one person at your school that feels safer and more bolstered by seeing one of those flags, it was worth it.

Much love to you anon.

#at my school there was a year where they tried to make it so girls could only bring guys to formal and not other girls #the entire year 11 cohort showed up to school wearing rainbow pins on their uniforms #the decision was hastily reversed #it’s a poor comparison. I know this has…a lot more gravity than the details of a big high school party #and its attendance #but. idk. I think this stuff matters. in schools especially #thank you anon #I appreciate you. in my mess of an inbox you’re a light #palestine

classic Pharoah antics before he learned theres nothing but dust and no fun toys up on the cabinets

#I got some positive feedback from the other cat post #so I think you guys might appreciate a more interesting size comparison that being hes half the length of the refrigerator #cat

Love the comparison on these...

And how gutteral he is on the second clip 🥵

I mean, either deliriously happily or looking around all nervous/scared as he dances with Lydia.

....

And all of THESE changes during "Doesn't he deserve a chance at liiiiiife?"

Two exuberant, funny, warm-colored clothes wearing but ultimately kind-hearted and gentle young, teenage boys with superpowers who take time to have tea with their respective mother figures they deeply cherish and love. Plus, their fan favorites in their own films.

Working with kids is so funny cuz I've literally been telling them "if doofenshmirtz could make an inator against what you want to do then you probably shouldn't do it" and it works

#ngl i need the pnf comparisons more than they do but i think they appreciate it #pnf #phineas and ferb #heinz doofenshmirtz #dr doofenshmirtz

me: so i took a sketch of my OC and a png of the character i ship her with and edited their scales using a height comparison website for reference. and the height difference made me so giddy and elated that i had to shut down my PC and do something else for a while

the priest on the other side of the confession both: kind of weird, but not technically a sin

#g/t #i never actually did confessional. wasnt my denomination back in the religion days #i appreciate the aesthetic tho. they did wonderful things with it in fleabag #ANYWAY. i finally sketched marty!!! AND NOW HAVE A COMPARISON BETWEEN HER AND OTTO
