The [[ERROR 404, TITLE NOT FOUND]] (Three years later)
Frisk is running from Chara. They pause next to a dark shadow, and Chara leaps out and stabs them in the chest.
Frisk sits up quickly, breathing heavily. Sans wakes up and asks if they're alright. Frisk nods, and sees Chara in the shadows behind Sans. She shouts in surprise and warns him that there's something behind him. When he looks around, DeltaGore Chara disappears and reappears between Frisk and Sans. They stab Sans in the back.
Sans sits up and looks around. Papyrus wakes up and asks Sans what's wrong. He tells Papyrus that he just had a meta nightmare… and that he's gonna die. Insanity Sans takes out a knife and stabs Papyrus.
Papyrus wakes up quickly and takes in his surroundings. He's in the lab. Gaster opens the laser gate, and Papyrus is so startled that he almost kills Gaster. Gaster dodges Papyrus's attack. Gaster takes Papyrus to perform some tests on him. Asriel is there… for some reason. Gaster instructs Papyrus to kill the prince. Papyrus refuses, until Gaster threatens to kill Sans. InsanePlates Papyrus stabs Asriel with a sharp bone.
Asriel leaps to his feet and takes out his swords. His right one immediately is plunged into someone else's chest. That someone else just happens to be Kalohan.
I wake up, unsure if this is a dream or reality. I pinch myself, and it hurts, so I know that it is, in fact, reality. I look around and see AntiGlitchTale sitting on my bed stand. I check the most recent page. Jane has just ended a spontaneous event involving a Temmie offering her a hug. Temmie was on her computer screen with white eyes, and then, after having the offer refused, says "fineS" and disappears. I try to write in the book, but the ink doesn't appear on the page at all. "So-s-so-so-s-so," I mutter. "The narrators are taking a break, eh? I can-bre-I-eh-can't I can't write in it if [[THE GODS ARE SILENT]]." I put the book back on the bed stand. I get up and, through the power of glitches, I summon a bowl just after an old friend filled it with her amazing soup. That's what I have for breakfast. "I-I-I'm-I-I'm glad that [[Goat Lady]] made th-ma-glad-I'm glad that-made-I'm-Ourial-glad I'm-made that bowl of soup," I say. After the soup is gone, I get up, grab my sword, the Codebreaker, and head out the door. Ink greets me enthusiastically as I pass through the Doodlesphear. “Hey, Kalohan! Got any plans for today?” He says. I shake my head and go to Underfell. Fell Sans is just sitting on the couch next to Frisk. I stand in the shadows under the sink. Papyrus storms in, his pants around his ankles, looking for his belt. Little does he know that it is in my possession.
“SANS! WHERE IS MY BELT?” Papyrus shouts.
“i dunno.”
“SAAAANS!” he cries, “WHY ARE YOU NEVER HELPFUL?”
“but i am helpful. i’m keeping my eyesocket on the kid.”
I throw the belt, and it clatters on the floor. Papyrus hears it and investigates. “WHY IS MY BELT IN THE KITCHEN?”
Before I hear Sans’s answer, I go to the AntiVoid to see how Error’s doing.
“He-He-Hello Err-Hello Error.”
“Whaddya want, Raven?”
“I just came to [[GIVE A SWEET DEAL! A MONTH OF DESTRUCTION FOR FREE! ONLY $6.66!]] how you’re doing.”
“The deal was appealing, but no thanks.”
“The de-how-deal was just a… slip-up.”
“I see. Well, I’m fine, thanks for asking.”
“I need to [[Let’s-a go!]] now.”
I leave the AntiVoid and return to my timeline. It’s been ravaged by glitches. Both of the Sanses are still here, so there’s that. Gunner is shouting at Bero about his rounds being lost.
“WHERE ARE THEY, BERO? WHERE ARE MY ROUNDS!?”
“I don’t know, Gunner. Try looking in the armory.”
I interrupt the argument and toss Gunner his rounds.
“Here ya go, Gunner. Don’t let your temper go blasting next time, ‘ight?”
"Heh, fine. Also, who's this 'Jane' person? You keep talking about them in your sleep." Gunner taunts.
"Yes, Kalohan. Who is Jane?" Bero asks.
"Just the protagonist of this timeline that Ink gave me to observe."

The Endless Are Not Their Opposite--They Only Define It
Tumblr media
I read quite often, on here and elsewhere, that the Endless are also their opposite (@tickldpnk8 and I were just talking about an interesting thread on Reddit), so I just decided to speed-complete this one and get it out of my drafts before it dies in there (so not as much in-depth as originally planned, but sometimes, you just need to run with it 🤣).
The Endless are not their opposite. They define it. It’s a (in my mind, and I’d love to hear what you think) massive difference. And they define their opposite by their absence. If they truly were their opposite, it would give very different meaning to canon, and if we were to do so, a lot of it wouldn't make sense in my view.
Dream is not also reality. He defines it. He is, and forever will be, unreality. It is his absence that defines reality. A dream that becomes real isn't a dream anymore--it's real. That’s the main reason why pulling the ship into reality in Overture weakens him. If he were reality, he could have just snapped his fingers and make it happen. If he were reality, a lot of his problems wouldn't be... well, problems. The fact he is (a) D/dream is pretty much why all his relationships are doomed to fail. Dreams don't last. Dreams are forever strange and can't be truly known.
Delirium is not also sanity/clarity. She defines it through her absence. And when she pulls herself together like in Brief Lives, it hurts her "muchly". It is immeasurable pain for her because it is what she is not and cannot be for any extended period of time without hurting herself.
Despair is not also hope. She defines it via her absence. As long as you hope, you don’t despair. If Despair were also hope, we would not have 6 issues of Overture very clearly showing us who and what H/hope is. If Despair were also hope, we wouldn't need a little girl called Hope reach out her hand and touch Dream—he would have a sister who could do it. But the only time Despair shows up for him, so to speak, is after he killed Orpheus—make of that what you will.
Death is not also life. She defines it. The fact that she is there at your beginning does not mean she is the one who gives you life. She is there so you will remember her, always (and especially when she takes your hand), hence you will cherish life. She does not directly give life to immortals either--they are immortal because of her absence, because she withholds her gift, like she does with Orpheus and Hob (the Eblis-situation has nothing to do with anything in my mind and is linked to a funeral rite, and we are clearly told it is not something she usually does [“it’s been so long”], or is remotely comfortable doing. It is just that she is the Endless that is most life-adjacent and hence the one who will have to do it. Just like Dream is the most reality-adjacent and hence the one who has to pull the ship).
Destruction is not also creation. He defines it. He is what gives us the blank slate, he is what makes creation possible, he is what starts the cycle and ends it, but he is not creation himself. Keeping on destroying makes creation impossible. There needs to be a pause, a break for creation to come to fruition—the absence of destruction. If he were also creation, he wouldn't create so badly (to the extent that it is canonically turned into a running gag), and being around him and seeking him out wouldn't be an issue. But it is.
Desire is not also hatred (I’m still not sure if hatred is really the opposite of desire, but I’ll run with it because that’s what Gaiman chose). They define it via their absence. You know how Dream doesn’t want Desire in his life anymore after one major spat (whether he had reason to or overreacted isn’t really the issue). And what feelings are often left in the absence of Desire? And what does Desire feel and gets themselves tangled up in because they are pushed away and are basically not acknowledged/desired by their own sibling despite constantly trying to show him they are important (desire is not just a sexual thing, people, get your mind out of the gutter 🤣)? Yeah, about that one… There is definitely a different type of enmeshment here which sometimes seems a bit plot-hole-y to me, but I think that might be down to the fact that Desire is the chosen antagonist (and even that, only to a degree until they aren’t). Even so, it still makes sense.
Destiny is not also freedom. He is the absence of it. All paths lead to the same end. Or a decision you make was the decision you were going to make all along, and what looks like a different ending was the ending that would have happened anyway. And even if you choose, the book will start to make that choice destiny again. Only Delirium knows what’s not in his book, and in this universe, the only true freedom is not bound by any rules, logic or sanity…

the concept of "lore" ruined discussion of mcrp because like. people use it to mean some kind of weird hybrid of plotline and worldbuilding but ONLY if the server is drama-focused otherwise it doesn't count i guess.
so you get people saying like. hermitcraft isn't a lore server. smplive isn't a lore server. sdmp isn't a lore server. and it's like yeah this is true because "lore server" is a meaningless slop category you guys made up. they very much have plotlines and worldbuilding though 💀

The way Suguru looks at Satoru has me by the neck already, but the way Satoru looks at Suguru?? Oh my god.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s his entire world right there. I don’t know how to explain it but these frames just scream “all Satoru sees is Suguru.” Like. He adores Suguru.
Tumblr media
Don’t get me started on the look in his eyes when Suguru expresses his concern over his overuse of his technique. The vulnerability? The way he looks surprised, the way it looks as though he feels seen for the first time ever? There is something so tender about this. I can’t even describe it but it’s just there.
Tumblr media
“I’m fine.”
Satoru knew damn well he wasn’t okay. No one sneaks up on him. I know he had to have been freaking out on the inside. How did he sneak in? How did I not sense him? No one gets behind me, no one is stronger than me, what’s going to happen?
But he held it together for Suguru. I feel like it’s instinct for him to automatically reassure Suguru, regardless of if it’s true or not. He schooled that expression on his face and looked so gently at Suguru…man.
Tumblr media
You can just see how absolutely devastated this man is in the moment he has to kill the man he loves.
Tumblr media
The split second he defied all logic and believed that, even though he’d killed Suguru with his own hands, Suguru had somehow survived? The elation on his face to see him one last time?
Tumblr media
“It might be goodnight for me, but it’s about time for you to wake up.” This is the smile he had on his face before calling out to Suguru, attempting to reach into the land of the dead for him. It’s like in this frame instead of the monster inhabiting Suguru, he just saw Suguru.
Tumblr media
The last thing he sees before he gets sealed is Suguru’s face, smiling. I can’t imagine the anguish he must have felt here. It’s almost as if he’s clinging to it, trying to pretend that it really is Suguru. Trying to convince himself what he knows isn’t true.
Conclusion: there is no one that loves anyone as much as Satoru loves Suguru.

clara oswald is a manic pixie dream girl, but only in the literal sense of each of those words, the non-metaphorical meaning. manic not in a cutesy ‘teehee i’m so quirky’ way, but in an ‘i’m an actual control freak who wants to be able to successfully balance two very different lives and be competent in leading both of them. apparently i also need to sleep and eat and relax like a normal human being??’ way. pixie not in an ‘uwu whimsical’ way, but in an ‘assertive woman of short stature who may or may not be a mischievous trickster entity from a distant mythological past, one that looks adorable at first glance but embodies ambiguity and mystery’ way. dream not in the typical sense, but in the ‘i walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil; i appear in your mind at inopportune times; you can’t get rid of the idea of me, i haunt you like a persistent nightmare’ sense. girl as in impossible.
point is, she is much-deserving of the label in a non-derogatory, non-dismissive way, but as a genuine expression of awe and fascination

The Truth of Mankind…
…Is Also Dream’s
These quotes are from episode 5 (24/7):
“Garry dreams of proving his father he was wrong about him.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Kate dreams of running away where no one will find her.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[But you do, and we see your star in so many panels of The Wake 🥺]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Bette dreams of creating something that matters to people.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You are the magician who became the man, Morpheus. And you are the king who left his kingdom, but not without making sure everyone else would be okay first--perhaps that is a different definition of a graceful ending, but it is graceful nonetheless.
You’re so painfully human, and yet, you are also not 😭
