every day i'm shocked seam didn't become a tumblr sexyperson. you're telling me that deltarune has a mysterious cheshire cat character with an almost permanent smile. who is implied to be extremely strong. who makes references to alternate save files frequently. who is tied to the ever-popularly-speculated-upon shadow crystals and secret bosses (and is THE shadow crystal character). who laughs ominously and constantly says mocking things in a very bemused sort of way. and they're not a tumblr sexyperson.

#ooc #seam #deltarune #this thought has been rattling around for a while now. its half of why i decided that they're considered very alluring in-universe #the other half is just for storytelling's sake because MAN it makes for some good character interactions and those are my bread and butter #can't have a good mystery story without a them fatale! (swatch is of course our brooding detective)

Epilogue/Author’s final note

Idk if anyone’s been paying attention to how the blog has been transforming over the course of the story, both in answers + meta blog layer, but I hope it’s been a fun ride! I wanted to thank you those who wrote really nice words again ;u; it means a lot, especially when I poured a lot into this blog (Probably more than I should lol.)

Anyway, I really wanted to do a full write up of the blog’s plot/timeline... A summary of the vision, if you will.

Arc 1: An idyllic universe

I’d be lying if I had this plot from the beginning, but the whole of it certainly came in a rush. Anyway, the beginning of this story was very much an AU where Sada and Turo did leave the crater, reuniting with Clavell and Arven before dying. It’s a universe where everything is perfect, and certainly one that Clavell of every universe dreams of, regardless of whether he’s romantically involved with anyone.

Arven gets to have his parents, Clavell gets to have his childhood friends by his side, Sada and Turo see that Paradise was never something found in the past and future.

Arc 2: A crumbling dream

Then, a desire to explore zerotrio “canon” overcame me, and I thought it might be fun to pursue a change in direction via story, as opposed to usual ask blog announcements/retcons. So... upon the mention of harm coming to the trio, Clavell assures himself that Sada and Turo are fine.

Thus begins the crumbling of this ideal world, with Clavell becoming sickly and grieving for something he doesn’t know... But Sada and Turo do. Throughout these few asks, whoever’s responsible for this dream is implied... and I think I’ll leave that for you to guess :)

Reality is rushing back at Clavell, and eventually time runs out for him. Sada and Turo know this, and I hoped I made it clear how apologetic they are (Love these complex, problematic, but fiercely loving professors lol. Their personalities are so intense, Clavell always in the crossfire)...

Arc 3: Zero Lab era

Suddenly, Clavell was no longer available to respond... as per his injury. Instead we have the Zero Lab Search queries: An opportunity for people to investigate what truly happened between the trio historically. No better certainty in happenings than real video footage, no?

An added plus was to show the trio’s early relationship together during the Tera Orb research eras... Fluffy filler between the grimness of what becomes of them.

Although the “footage” isn’t posted in chronological order, they are all still roughly dated to show a coherent-ish timeline of Sada +Turo and Clavell beginning to have different priorities for Arven’s sake. Arguments had and never truly resolved... logs of Sada and Turo’s absence in Arven’s young life... so forth.

Peppered amidst all these were little clues, as well as puzzles. I attempted to throw a red herring, wanting to keep Sada and Turo’s deaths a not so secret for longer.

Eventually however, we reach present day, with lots of footage locked or damaged. Clavell, Sada and Turo are never shown, but their impacts of their action are. (These poor poor wild Scream Tails haha.)

Arc 4: Present day

We finally arrive at the true present day... with Clavell facing off Protocol Sada and Turo on his own.

The reveal isn’t a crazy twist, nor did I really want it to. But the build up had been for a tragedy we already knew/are familiar with: that Sada and Turo died for their dreams....

But in these final moments where Clavell woke from a vision that felt too real, Protocol Sada and Turo weren’t immune to it either.

Zero Lab queries no longer function as they used to, and asking about the past hurts. Sada and Turo’s conscious speaks through the logs. (Its true workings I leave to your imagination, but I liked the thought of the AI and Protocol representing the two parts of a whole Professor.) We see the final moments of Sada and Turo in what is a death-defying retrospective.

What next... complicated/messy resolutions. Clavell saved, Sada and Turo “alive” but different. It’s more open ended than I intended, but I think it’s also alright to leave things to the imagination... 

The trio have always been in search of their respective treasures, and though it takes a long and rough journey...

... lost treasure can always be found.

I haven't written the next part of this small arc, though I wonder how it will go..

Will he looked like a wounded puppy?

Will he take her words too harsh?

Maybe it will lead to her removing his gauntlets so he can touch her properly..

#[ ooc ] #sometimes when I write and just let my fingers do their thing as the feeling takes me #part of me wants her to heal from her own thoughts with just feeling the love and warmth translated through his touch #hands have always been important in my storytelling and photos #they can be cruel or kind with their gestures

[fatedprincess]

i think about what a.tlus could possibly do for p6 story wise .. because i just feel they have covered so many bases in the other storylines. you wanna play a game about strange murders happening where you attempt to find the culprit ? p4. you wanna play a game about the mysterious midnight hour where you fight evil ? p3. you wanna be a vigilante masked trickster who changes hearts ? p5. I MEAN , WHAT ELSE CAN THEY GIVE US ?? i keep thinking about what the color green could make it about .. because idk.. i feel like a lot of the colors they choose kind of fits the vibe you are getting ultimately. how can they possibly rise to the challenge of the stories they've crafted ? yk. i just think.

#❀ * || 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚛𝚛𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊 ! ( ooc ) #[ obviously I KNOW they will blow me away- #i mean i have to believe they will bc #they have in the past #and it seems like they are still kicking w/ #great storytelling but #I COULD ALSO BE WRONG ... #i wanna believe in the magic ...

[finalism]

so that was a patch huh,,,,,

#ooc. #i am once again to insecure in my own portrayal to write anything #but man that patch was SO good #actually 10/10 the best storytelling we've jad in this game

[talentforlying]

the fact that the "golden boy" is a canonical figure in hellblazer who simultaneously represents both constantine's twin who was never born (thus becoming a spectre of the death of john's mother, a crime he was judged for without cause that poisoned his entire childhood) and also the expectation of who he would be in his father's eyes that was never met and thus subsequently killed........chewing glass would make me happier than these comics sometimes.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #i go insane about the golden boy CONSTANTLY i think delano's intentions were soul-crushingly gorgeous. #like what do you MEAN john is LITERALLY haunted by who he could have been in another life!!!! LITERALLY???? #i'm also not terribly mad about the very literal way it was adapted in the 240s bc it only furthered that message #of how badly his father's disgust in him + john's own self-hatred seeped into every aspect of his life + contributed to his choices #although for this blog i think i've decided the 240s golden boy claim of interfering was more manipulation than fact #bc i like the notion that john Can and Does make his own bad decisions and must suffer the consequences accordingly #i don't talk about the golden boy here much i don't think??? i should tho. killer bit of storytelling fr

[righteousruin]

made myself mad again thinking about writers who Miss The Point and how Bane was only on venom for like ~6 months in the comics but some writers decided it's his whole personality and he's just an Arkham Roid Rhino even though he passed the vibe check and didn't even go to Arkham even though his attorney begged him to plead insanity and go because he wouldn't face charges and he said absolutely not they're my crimes they're my charges they caught me slippin and that's on me and then not only stayed OFF of venom for the remainder of the pre-reboot comics but also actively destroyed networks that developed and distributed it, and then directly because of Batman's repeated radical compassion, dedicated his life to doing what he believed was right (even if it still involved murder) and actively protecting people he believed were innocent and helping people he thought needed help. Because he promised Batman he would do better. BeCAUSE OF BATMAN SHOWING HIM THAT WAS AN OPTION.

#EDIT: I promise this isn't vagueblogging or @ anyone I was thinking about Bane's comic arc and how publishers market on rage bait and shock #and how k-ngs' batman narratives center around creating shock and controversy instead of Stories #FUMES #“Why is the world Like This” because y'all stopped valuing kindness and compassion as a heroic trait in storytelling!!!!! #Batman doesn't fawn he'll beat your ass but he'll give you a chance to try again and learn and grow #because execution decides for you but Batman tells you to decide for yourself and Batman tells you to be brave and be kind because it's HAR #It's the harder choice it's the scarier choice it's the more vulnerable choice but Batman says it's YOUR choice #Batman believes in you goddammit when the cops and the system and the culture doesn't Batman does Batman says you can do better #Batman says you DESERVE to do better you deserve to BE better you deserve a better world and it starts with you and he LEADS BY THAT EXAMPL #Anyway Bane will always stan Bruce for that shit even if it's so so strategically stupid it's radically kind it's frighteningly kind #It's dumb and it's selfless and it's selfish and it's stupid and it's unbelievably kind #anyway we stan the bat #we don't always agree with the bat but we would follow that rich asshole to hell and back #ooc #yelling about comics

just got blindsided by the absolute sincere expression of desire through the written word. oh ao3? yeah it was on ao3.

#unironically can't read ship fics with buffy pov because it's either 1. too ooc for me or #2. too in-character and so painfully sincere in a way that's not tempered by a fast-moving motw plot/snappy tv dialogue #and i'm forced to confront buffy as a real person people can relate to instead of an abstract puzzle piece of storytelling #apologies for triggering what i'm sure is the buffy kinnie fear that everyone loves you for what you bring and the exterior you put up #but can't handle the vulnerable person you are underneath and the times when you need to ask for help

Henry Deserves a Nap

Henry’s chest steadily rose and fell with each breath. It was noisy. Life was so often noisy, a strange and somewhat off-putting side product to biological function. Had Fina noticed it in life? No, likely not. It was difficult to notice something one is wholly encompassed by. Breathing, as noisy as it proved, was still less noise than Henry had made before. The wailing and gnashing of teeth had passed into whispers. The whispers had passed into silence. 

She remembered this part. Distant memories of a mind hollowed out, of nothingness settling in. The nothingness was worse than the somethingness of another’s will. It had been necessary to endure to gain her own somethingness back. Henry must also endure. It hurt to see the boy like that. It was difficult to pinpoint how much of the hurt was for Henry and how much was for herself.

Improper. She tucked the emotion away. No one but her enemies benefitted from the distraction of sensation.

The new silence was progress. It had to be. Before, Henry had hurled invective and vitriol, convinced she was a monster out to kill him. That was not Henry. They had never been friends, exactly, but he knew her well enough to know better. He said nothing about her gifts to Bran. She kept quiet about his letters to members of her court.

The paper in her hands made a pleasant sound as she shifted her hold. These were copies of correspondence the others had sent upon her request. These were private matters, useful weapons to jab into soft points, and they trusted her. She swallowed the part of her that purred at the chance to hurt, held it first in her mouth and then in her stomach. That wasn’t her. Not anymore. Maybe it had never been.

She had filled Henry’s room with these reminders of his past before he looked the wrong person in the eyes. Pictures from Jackie, poetry from Mia Monroe, more and more nightly as people slowly realized what state the boy was in. It would not be enough for a whole personage, but perhaps it could pull him up for a gasp of air. There had been a brief consideration of Jackie or Declan coming into the domain to see him, but she had put it aside. They were known associates. It was too likely the sight of them would cause relapse as buried commands triggered.

“Do you recall this part, signore? You wrote it not so long ago to signorina Vicario.  I only learnt your scriptures two years ago. During my first weeks here, I ended up with ample opportunity to read. The words were alien at first, so different from what I had learnt yet so similar. They echoed a sentiment of an all-loving Father up in heaven, saddened by the sorrow and misery of his children, willing to offer them a place in his embrace if they held true to their faith in Him. It was more gentle than what I knew until then, and a part of me couldn’t reconcile that. I wanted to, but when you spend a lifetime knowing one thing, it’s difficult to accept you were wrong…”

She peeked up. He was looking at her. That was new. A change. Some sign of anything within him. She smiled. 

“While I have your attention, Cherry is in town. I told them you were here while asking them to leave. They may come visit if they can overcome their paranoia of me long enough. Would you like that?”

His brow furrowed. His mind audibly struggled to turn the thought over in his mind. “...Cherry?”

Fina hummed her assent. That was good. That was good. Cherry was less known, but not unknown. Little chance of a trigger. Greater chance of positive response. It was a good idea. It was. She had to be certain when Henry was not. 

“You think it over while I finish your letter, yes?” She set her eyes back to the paper. She softened her voice, blending it into the background to support his slow return to thought. She could wait for his response. They had time.
