“Hey, Timbo. My main man, I’ve got an idea.”
“I thought I was your main man?” Bart shot back from the front passenger seat, raising an eyebrow at Conner.
“Zip it, Bart. I’m working on something here. Go back to playing your game deck,” Conner said, eliciting an annoyed look from Bart. “We’ve been on the road for days, slept in cramped spaces, and I’m pretty sure I have an imprint of Bart’s sneaker on my back from that one night...”
“Okay.” Tim kept his eyes on the road. “Where are you going with this, Kon?”
“I mean, you’re Timothy Wayne when it suits you, right? And I’m sure the Waynes owned one of these snazzy hotels in the city. You think you could pull a Wayne card and score us one of those upscale suites just for a couple days? You know, really live it up in honour of our birthday boy Bart here.”
Tim leaned back, giving a mock contemplative look. “Did you put him up to this?”
“I swear, it wasn’t me,” Bart said. “And I don’t really care where we’re going so long as I get to stretch my leg and go for a run.”
Conner flashed a cheeky grin, clearly amused. “Come on, Tim. I can bet Bart’s been dreaming of a luxurious bath and an endless buffet since we hit the road.”
Cassie, even with her headphones on could tell what Conner was up to. She piped in, “And a spa day. Have you seen his hair? Poor Bartholo-mewmew . He needs some serious pampering.”
Bart rolled his eyes. “Oh, so now you’re all using me as the scapegoat to milk some Wayne perks out of Tim? Classy. Real classy.”
Conner leaned with a playful smirk. “You do realise dating Mr. Boy Wonder here is like hitting the jackpot, right?”
“Well, it’s not all about the perks,” Bart said. “Though, I won’t deny they’re nice. It’s more about...y’know, the vibes.”
From the backseat, Cassie snorted, “Vibes, huh? Is that what we’re calling sneaking into Tim’s swanky serviced apartment to use his rain shower and unlimited access to the luxury pool? Just for the vibes ?"
Conner laughed. “Oh snap, called out !”
Bart’s cheeks reddened, and he shot Cassie a glare. “I told you that in confidence, Cass! Besides, that was one time...or maybe a few times. Our apartment gets a little too crowded sometimes with Greta, Gar and Ray hanging out there. I just like the quiet...”
Conner nudged him with an elbow. "Sounds like someone was already sampling the high life before making it official.”
“Well, I did wonder why my water and electricity bills shot up those months. But honestly, I didn’t mind. Kept the place feeling...lived in,” Tim said.
“See? You’re doing it again. You’re always making excuses for Bart,” Kon teased.
Tim just smiled, adjusting his rearview mirror, “Can’t help it. He’s got that ‘speedster charm’.”
Bart wiggled his eyebrows at Conner, twirling a finger around, “It’s a gift.”
“A gift that seems to involve a lot of Wayne luxury. Convenient,” Cassie added.
Conner huffed. “Yep, next thing you know, he’ll be borrowing the Batmobile for date nights.”
Bart smirked, leaning back confidently, “Don’t tempt me. I could make that thing go even faster.”
Tim shook his head. “No touching the Batmobile. That’s where I draw the line. And that applies to all of you.”
“Look at that, the one boundary in the life of Bart Allen,” Conner said.
Bart gave a mock bow, “Though, a test drive wouldn’t hurt, right Tim?”
Tim was quick to change the subject. “I can’t believe I’m even considering this...but fine—”
Bart gasped. “He said fine!”
“No! Let me finish. I’ll see if I can secure a suite for a couple days. We still have a few hours before we hit New York, and honestly, a hot shower sounds heavenly right now. And no wild parties, Kon. The last thing we need is to draw attention to ourselves.”
Conner’s grin widened. “You won’t regret it, trust me. Just relaxation and celebration for our main man, Bart.”
“Nice. I’m back to being the main man,” Bart said, crossing his arms.
“Hey, if it gets us an extra dessert after dinner, you’ll be whoever I want you to be.”
Tim sighed, shaking his head. “You two and your schemes. Just remember who’s footing the bill.”
Cassie couldn’t resist chiming in. “And that’s why you’re our favourite Wayne, Tim.”

Fai's Fic Ramble: The GorseTale AU (bare basics)
Ever since roughly... 2017 I think, there been a single Undertale fanfic I've been tapping away at and though it's nowhere near done or even organised enough for me to think about posting chapter 1 on A03, I recently posted a spinoff fic related to it called Eight Coloured Picture about the deaths of all the fallen humans and how some monsters each time were effected by their passing, and well.
I wanna ramble about the main story that fic comes from for a bit!
So.
Working Title: 'Gorse, Blackthorn and Buttercups'
I also call it GorseTale in my head for short since Gaijin Goombah's rather fun video on why Undertale's Golden Flowers are most likely Gorse was a HUGE inspiration for the fic back when I started out (it's er changed quiet a bit since then but I'm keeping the flower vibes because Chara likes them and I did way too much research into both practical and symbolic uses for plants in the Underground for this fic not to use at least some of it at some point XD).
Core premise: Story is a Slice of Life/Drama AU set around Frisk being born in the Underground and taken in by Toriel right around the time of 'Undertale canon' (for Undertale Yellow fans, roughly a year or so after Clover's death), and through a series of domino effects stemming from that, various monsters of the Underground are confronted with the flaws of both themselves and their kingdom, and as a result start putting in effort to try fixing things so the little human child they've become so attached to can actually live their life to the fullest without fear of being murdered just for being born a non monster.
Aka: Toriel and Sans experience the joys and terror of co-parenting a child who only survives past the age of 3 because they have phenomenal cosmic power. Papyrus discovers the Royal Guard is NOT in fact something he wants to join (and accidentally becomes politically active in an effort to right by his new nibbling). Undyne takes some time to really rethink her career path and motives. Alphys somehow manages to turn former mistakes into miracles (oh and cures death maybe). Mettaton learns to take time off and share the spotlight, and finally King Asgore gets a surprising amount of hope in encouraging peaceful rebellion against his own accidental dictatorship.
Main cast: Rotates a bit since every major monster (and Flowey) matters in this and who's most in focus depends on the exact arc but Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Chara and Frisk are the ones who I have the most planned scenes for since well, they're where the 'domino effect' starts.
Ships: Fic is pretty gen for the most part but leaning Undyne/Alphys, Papyrus/Mettaton (who knew all Paps needed to become popular was to openly try convincing monster kind that killing all the humans is wrong in front of a very specific underground star XD), and some very very very slowburn Sans/Toriel (is teased throughout the story because Sans IS Frisk's other parent Sans just means 'Dad' in Frisk speak and I find various Monsters' "Wait Sans has a kid- Wait Sans is married?!" reactions hilarious (Paps giving 'context' to why he suddenly has a nibbling to Undyne especially) but actual, real Soriel doesn't happen until near the very end because Toriel is Not Ok, Sans leans AroAce/Demi and both agree that while the odd kiss, hug or 'real talk' is fine neither up for anything more than that right now. Also Toriel has yet to get a formal divorce and er, she can't even think of him for much of the fic without wanting to set him on fire so... Yeah).
Also considering Mad Mewmew/Asgore (because funny but also oddly sweet), and Mettaton trying to get over a crush on Alphys at the start (due to Mettaton's Winter Alarmclock dialogue reframing all of Mettaton's actions in canon in a whole newlight for me), but for the most part romance really isn't a focus.
Things to set it apart from every other 'Frisk grows up in the Underground' fanfic:
A LOT of worldbuilding focus on stuff how monsters get food and materials.
Toriel teaching everyone how Monster society was before the War vs now (aka lots of cultural trauma themes here).
More emphasis on how little Monster society these days really knows about things they really should given their Kingdom's plans.
Sans 'timeline trauma' getting tossed out the window for joining Toriel in 'worried parent' stress (hard to be upset about LOADS when they're specifically stopping a toddler you love from getting murdered).
Papyrus accidentally making everything better just because for the sake of his nibblet he can't back down.
FLOWER SYMBOLISM AND DISCUSSING THE UNDERGROUND'S VERY IMPORTANT PLANT LIFE!
Undyne having a character growth arc triggered by Papyrus.
Mettaton having a character growth arc triggered by Papyrus (and a passing mention of Napstablook).
Alphys not being fired post Amalgamite reveal making her realize she has in fact actually kinda created the cure for death (by 'Falling Down') or at the very least is only maybe three steps away from that and actually works on that alongside a bunch of other stuff with other scientists because working alone sucked.
Lots of focus on the humans who fell before Frisk because their lives mattered! and also the Blue Soul was Kris because damn if I don't feel the need to really hammer in Toriel's trauma caused by Asgore here
NarraChara and Napstablook being ghost buddies =D they suck at it but Chara will take literally anyone who can hear them for company and Napstablook feels bad about that
Snowdin being secretly a hub of human sympathisers! (None of them knew they weren't the only ones).
MONSTER RADIO and ANIME/WESTERNS ON TV!
Tems and the Riverperson mattering while still being true to their very weird selves!!!
Asgore learning that he DOES in fact have a lot of influence and that maybe, juuust maybe, that his screw ups were worse for his Kingdom than he already thought (don't worry Asgore fans, despite my having to write a lot of Asgore grr due to Toriel being a major character, saving him and showing how much he loves his people is a major goal of mine <3). He still f%cked up majorly though XD
Frisk dealing with, well, the stress of growing up in a place that says their death would make everyone (except their immediate loved ones) happy and constantly having to live in hiding/disguise...
Flowey being a murderous little shit but also not having reset power and both Frisk and Chara in his life again.
Undertale Yellow and Deltarune characters! Who probably won't be in focus a lot but they've helped me out a ton for fleshing the out my setting so I will 100% be giving them at least a little screen time to make up for that (like Amalgamate Kanako playing with Frisk, and Martlet and Noelle being VERY interesting in Papyrus's 'Lets not kill the humans' movement for reasons our main characters will eventually learn <3).
Oh and a huge amount of 'Unseen in game' areas I made for the Underground which include:
SnowDen: a 'town' of Dog and Rabbit made tunnels underneath the ENTIRE Snowdin region (connects to every dog sentry post, the 'Toby Fox secret area' and the 'very efficiently laid out' travel tunnels seen in canon Undertale). Generally requires those living there to get through given how winding and confusing the tunnels can get (all guideposts are puzzles made with scent markers...).
TooHot: basically a 'lethal lava land' housing district for fire monsters below general Hotland. Predates the Wat and is too hot for most non fire monsters to go anywhere near (the current name was given by Asgore though).
Cliffstop: a 'thin' vertical crevice monsters in New Home unearthed a while back that goes from from all the way to the very top of Mt Ebott down to the dark of the Abyss below (locals there call the top of the area Clifftop and the lowest safe for travel Cliffdrop). Gets a fair bit of sun and has flying room so it's popular with plant and flying monsters but the cliffs are very unstable so the bottom is covered in rope nets to prevent accidents. Most puzzles about the place are moving rope bridges, loading up vertical conveyer belts with the correct weights and 'light and mirror' puzzles.
Riverfolk Waterway and True Tem Village: settlements hidden deep within Waterfall's 'unreachable in canon' winding waterways. The former is a small inlet where 'Riverfolk' monsters like the Riverperson have a small collection of boathouses they dock at, and the later is exactly what is sounds like, with the 'Temmie Village' we see in canon being merely a Temmie trading outpost. Can accessed only by Riverperson boat or the Temmie's secret tunnels and is home to all sorts of cool things like the Temmie 'Colleg' and 'DEEP HISTORY mUSEEum'~ XD
WebbInn 'the Spider district': Mostly a giant communal spider web hanging Hotland's ceiling but also connected to a tunnel that goes up near Mt Ebbot's peak (the spiders have been digging upwards in hopes of getting a 'sunspot' they can use to advertise their 'sweet little town' to tourists). Has a... Very distinctive culture compared to the rest of the Underground and the 'puzzles' there tend towards being 'social' in nature (aka fey logic games where how you speak and act gets you directed every which way).
Starlite Strip: A little connecting area right underneath the path/cliff Monster Kid and Frisk see the castle while travelling through Waterfall in Undertale Canon. Not a big settlement on its own but something of a trading hub for monsters from New Home and the surrounding areas in Waterfall to buy and sell goods (also has a LOT of Royal Guard presence which is why absolutely no one in Undertale recommends it to the very human Frisk). Very sparkly but in a gentle 'crystals, glowing water and fire flies' kinda way.
And... Yeah.
Wanna post a full script of what I've got planned so far but this post is already massive so will do that in a bit.
Will say though that the general ending plan for this fic arguably goes full fix fic with:
12-14 year old Frisk comes out as human publicly and goes through the entire Underground arguing their case (something the Underground has been publicly debating for the last 10 years or so thanks to a very motivated Papyrus and a wanting more ratings + genuinely interested Mettaton).
Undyne attempts to kill them but well, she's only going all out because she and Paps had a deal about this (he vowed that he'd defend any innocent human from her killing them so she could still go all out at her job) and Frisk knows that.
Mettaton gets to do THE biggest and most historically important interview in the Underground's history.
Asgore declares that the Underground will try out this whole 'everyone in the kingdom votes' thing on both the upcoming war and how they will treat humans living here because he wants to make sure he's doing what his people want (Mettaton asks what Asgore will vote but Asgore, finally realizing his own influence, refuses to say).
Asgore and Frisk spend a nice, if slightly nervously time together drinking tea and talking about the future while the votes are being counted. (Toriel and others may join them but mostly this is Asgore getting to know... the last of Toriel's adopted children she told him about the others when she asked for a divorce).
Monsters choose wisely because for all this fic is 'Monsters are flawed too!' they are good people and I want to make that clear <3
Cue Frisk publically trying to help break the barrier while being very alive...
Flowey pulling a 'God of Hyper Death' except well, he, Frisk and Chara maaay have discussed a bit of this beforehand (Flowey did want the souls and this would get him them), so er, the fight might be a touch more mixed with genuine anger and playfulness. Note: Still working out the exacts.
The human SOULs get brought back to life as monsters while Flowey gets a SOUL of his own and Chara gets enough magical matter to be visible to people other than Frisk (it required less waste of the accumulated magic, the soul of an additional human another girl falling into the Ruins was what got Frisk deciding to come out actually, the kids using a bunch of Alphys' furthered research on the interplay between Determination, matter and Dust, and breaking down the dead humans' bodies for enough 'compatible matter' to work with, and the destruction and repurposing of the Barrier but hey! Back to life! Or arguably Chara's case an upgrade to proper ghost-hood). Oh and the Amalgamates that want it are safely separated but not sure if that's a 'before no' thing or a 'here in this big finale' thing~ XD
And yeah. That's all of my 'extra happy ending just because I can' stuff the entire fic eventually builds towards. Will post all my planned scenes/'domino effect planning' some other time but for now I'm done.
If you liked any ideas in this feel free to use them please (I'm a slow ass writer and I write what I want to see more of in the world XD) and er, hope this was a fun ramble to read <3

12 Days of Manga 2022
Day 10: Top 3 Favourite Completed Manga
(These aren’t necessarily series that ended THIS year, but they are series that I personally completed this year!)
1) Sweat and Soap by Kintetsu Yamada from Kodansha (T: Matt Treyvaud L: Sara Linsly E: Kristin Osani)
[ID: English Cover of Sweat and Soap Vol 11. A goofy shot of the entire wedding party for Asako and Natori‘s wedding. Asako wears a white lace dress and Koutaro wears a matching white suit.]
“In an office romance, there's a fine line between sexy and awkward... and that line is where Asako -- a woman who sweats copiusly -- met Koutarou -- a perfume developer who can't get enough of Asako's, er, scent. Don't miss a romcom manga like no other!
Asako's living her dream, working at the toiletry maker Lilia Drop. Little do her coworkers know, the reason she loves the company so much is that she's ashamed of her body odor, and their soap is the only thing that does the trick. So when the company's lead product developer, a perfuming genius, approaches her in the lobby and wonders what "that smell" is, she's terrified... but could it be... that he likes it? And, even more surprising to Asako... does she like him?
The hilarious ups and downs of an office romance at a personal care products company are the subject of this sexy, strange romp.
Sweat and Soap combines the odd-couple chemistry of Wotakoi, the "too real!" workplace comedy of Aggretsuko, and a heavy dollop of office steaminess!”
Sweat & Soap is yet another one of those manga that appears on everyone’s lists and actually deserves to be there. Which, if you want to be all 2013 Hipster about it, is incredibly frustrating but from every other perspective it is delightful and wonderful that a series that focusses on clear communication is so popular! If you’re looking for a series that deal with how kink negotation can be applied to every day life then this is one I can whole heartedly recomend!
Because that’s what Sweat & Soap comes down to: communication. Whilst Yamada admits the series began as simply them wanting to write about a big breasted office lady who got easily flustred (and honestly: valid) it quickly became something far more meaningful and stand out. Anytime I thought that a scene was a little off or that consent wasn’t clearly given it was talked about by the characters in an open and honest fashion!
When Ichise was introduced, i was worried it was going to decend into some sort of rival love triangle where both girls were out to get eachother; but rather what happened was a mature look at missed-out-love from her perspective, and clear boundry setting from Asako and Natori. It would be unreasonable for Asako to ask Natori to never speak to his work friend again, but it is not unreasonable for her to ask him to be less physically affectionate with her. He might see her like a little sister, but that doesn’t mean she is his little sister.
This series encapulates all that the phrase “Adult Romance” should. There’s sex, yes, but there’s also trying to figure out an appropriate work-life-balance, what to look for when moving into a new flat (advice I actualy used when moving out recently, so thanks for that on Yamada-sensei!) and how to get your girlfriend’s beloved family cat to actually play with you!!!!
I know I am going to be recomending this series for years to come, and I eagerly await to see if any of Yamada’s other work gets translated into English! Come on Kodansha, you like money, don’t you???
2) Tokyo Mew Mew by Reiko Yoshida and Mia Ikumi from Kodansha (T: Elina Curran L: AndWorld Design)
[ID: English Edition of Vol 3 of the Tokyo MewMew Omnibus. Ichigo wears a straawberry themed wedding dress and veil that is pushed back past her cat ears. She carris a bouquet of flowers, and sits in a ring of pink and yellow stars. The background is light pink with a pattern of baby pink strawberries.]
“Ichigo is out on a date with her 'crush' when suddenly she's involved in an odd incident in which her DNA is merged with the DNA of an almost extinct wildcat. When four other girls' DNA is merged with the DNA of four other almost extinct animals, it's apparent that they're part of a much bigger plan. Ichigo and her friends have been chosen to become a part of a secret project called the 'Mew Project'. Their mission: To protect the planet from aliens who are using animals to attack humans!”
I first read this series way back in year 9 of school, but I don’t think I ever got beyond volume 2 or 3? So when the anime was announced I decided to re-read the whole series. And what a lot of fun it has been!
It’s been fun to revisit this time in manga, and it reminded me of my love of Action Shoujo! It’s so quintessentially magical girl, but doesn’t have some of the more yikes tropes that have me hesitating to recommend Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura to children. (CLAMP... why? Why all the student-teacher relationships?!)
Sure, Quiche -- sorry: Kish -- is a major creep when it comes to declaring his undying love for Ichigo but he is the villain! If you’re going to have someone disrespect boundries, it should be painted as acts of criminality and evil!
And like all good Magical Girl shows, the focus remains on the power of female friendship and how they can raise eachother up! Just a group of lesbians supporting their bisexual leader as she fumbles her way through teen romance.
I’ll admit I felt the ending was a little rushed in places, which meant that some of the scenes that should have had huge emotional impact were brushed over too quickly. I’m hopeful though that the new anime will fix that problem and allow things to progresss at an appropriate pace. I think they’ve done a good job so far in adapting it, and another 12 episodes should be all it needs!
My biggest gripe with the series is how Kodansha localised the names so inconsistently, sometimes choosing to translate the characters’ names into their appropriate food related topics and sometimes not. But it appears that the fandom itself cannot decide what version to use so at least there’s consistency in the inconsistency. These decisions often come from above, specifically from the Japanese Team, so I don’t hold Curran responsible, but it’s still something worth noting in my opinion. If I ever find my TokyoPop versions I’ll be sure to do a comparison!
At only 7 Volumes across 3 Omnibus Editions, this is absolutely worth investing in if you’re looking for some old school magical girl fun! Be that as someone new to the genre, or a vetran looking to relive the glory days before everything was Pretty Cure.
Now come on Sentai, do every little girl a favour and dub this series into English!!!
On the topic of the anime... given Ikumi-sensei’s passing this year, i felt very emotional reading her thoughts on getting to see the orignal anime under production. She was so excited to see eveything made, and got the seiyuu to write up little messages as their characters for all the readers. It’s so sad that she never got to see the fans’ reaction to the reboot. I suppose it’s a reminder to cherish the moments we have together, and may her memory be a blessing to us all.
3) BL Metamorphosis by Kaori Tsurutani from SevenSeas (T: Jocelyne Allen L: Ray Steeves E: Jenn Grunigen)
[ID: English Cover for Vol 5 of BL Metamorphosis. Ichinoi (an elderly woman) and Urara (a teenage girl) sit on a japanese verander drinking tea in the sunshine. There are plants growing all around them. Ichinoi looks u at the sky, and Urara looks groggily in a similar direction.]
“In this heartwarming and award-winning manga originally known as Metamorphose no Engawa, an elderly woman and a high school girl develop a beautiful friendship through their shared passion for Boys' Love.
Ichinoi, a seventy-five-year-old woman living a peaceful life, unwittingly buys a boys' love manga one day, and is fascinated by what she finds inside. When she returns to the bookstore to buy the next volume, the high school girl working there-Urara, a seasoned BL fan-notices a budding fangirl when she sees one. When Urara offers to help Ichinoi explore this whole new world of fiction, the two dive into the BL fandom together, and form an unlikely friendship along the way.”
Age Gap Romances are OUT! Age Gap Friendships are IN!
BL Metamophosis was a wonderful slow paced read, perfect at 5 volumes. It was great to see Ichinoi and Urara form such a strong bond between them, not just because intergenerational friendships are so uncommon in media but also because it proved that it’s never too late to start a new hobby and make new friends! The pair learn a lot from eachother, there’s mutual value in their relationship and the story is much more than some cliched message about how “there’s value in youth and in age”.
Urara learns to become more confident in herself and in the things she loves due to Ichinoi’s encouragement, and Ichinoi learns that just because she’s only got a few more years left to live doesn’t mean that she has to just keep still. I was especially moved by seeing her reflecting on her past regrets, and seeing them through Urara’s fresh eyes and being determined to no longer live like that. She might be much older now than before, but if she wants to go to the top of Tokyo Tower than she will!
I will also have to say, as someone with varaious chronic conditions and mental health problems, Ichinoi’s determination to fight to stay alive until the final volume of her favourite manga is published was incredibly relateable!
As much as I would love to know how Urara is getting on at school and what her life plans are (is she going to try to make more BL Comics?) I’m very content with how the series eneded. It gave closure to everyone’s arcs, whilst giving it a realistically happy ending. Nothing felt out of place.
This is absolutely a manga I would recommend to anyone, whether they be Urara’s age of Ichinoi’s! I’d also consider it a great starter manga given how short it is, and whilst perhaps an understanding of BL tropes is helpful I don’t think it’s needed as Ichinoi is being introduced to the genre along with the reader. If anything, I’d be really interested to know what someone who doesn’t know anything about BL thinks of the series!

For Mewmew!
💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?
💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?
🍁 MAPLE LEAF - what is their favourite season? why?
💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?
💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they're in love?
💢 Anger - What are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?
Very Early on into friendship with Mewmew, they’ll have a habit of just getting up, saying they have to be somewhere and leaving without anything else. When it gets to know someone better, that will slowly stop though (Especially if there’s a conversation about it)
Can and WILL ask questions and talk a lot during movies, they would not go to movie theatres or equivalent because of this though so there’s that?
💐 Bouquet - Make a bouquet for them! What does it mean? Are any flowers their particular favourite?
Crocus - Mirth
Larkspur - Lightness and positivity
Adonis - Sad memories
Blackthorn branch with flowers - transition, sudden change and death
Alstroemeria - Friendship and Devotion
Their favourite happens to be Larkspur!
🍁 Maple - What is their favourite season? Why?
Their favourite season is spring, they get to go back to travelling after staying holed up for the winter. Never liked staying in one place for that long! It’s never had anything good come of it, after all. Aside from that, it’s fun for them to spot the animals that are coming back to the area and the ones waking up. They lay out little materials for bird nests sometimes
💘 Heart w/ arrow - What traits do they look for in a relationship? Do they believe in love at first sight?
Mewmew looks for some sort of consistency, it’s not truly something they have that much of in life. It also looks for clarity and honesty, as well as someone who is patient with them!
They used to believe in love at first sight, however they bitterly and painfully reject all ideas and thoughts of it. If you ask about it they’ll simply say “I don’t. It just… feels off to me.”
💗 Growing heart - If they have a crush, is it noticable? What changes when they’re in love?
All too familiar with the feeling, Bartholomew notices right away when the buds begin to grow in. For it, it realizes that they start to enjoy the person’s company a bit more than before. They already did, of course, but the way they feel it is different.
Instead of butterflies in their stomach, they experience a fluttering of the neck, nuzzled right into their arteries and flowing with their blood, thats one of the biggest signs,,,
The some things that change is that they start getting the person of interest trinkets, going out of their way to spend more time with them and offers if being a travel companion if they ever want to join them or need to go somewhere

Talking to another true aged Thoth dedicant is fascinating. One, he believes every word of what I've told him, because it falls into what he experienced, but also is aware how this falls into much larger motions.
While ironically I am, within a roving egregore, in a moving demiurge state, I'm not even the only person doing that. Shit, people been doing that since the dawn of time. But when I say these are generational damages across metempsychosis/transmigration, I mean it. Shea's shit is rotten several lifetimes deep, and impacts very widely as a result, and is a Peak Whore Of Babylon type to be eradicated tis cycle, but she's like, not the only one, and this dude is both aware of that but also, after talking to me, fully cognitive on why she's fucking me up so bad.
Like, yeah, that tracks. Hard enough to keep your hat on through and after that, and this cycle has a helluva setup going on asrologically that would probably make you boogaloo all on its own, but add in the world's dumbest stalker--what'd you call her, crackbear lilith?--and yeah, someone made the Universe snap on them.
Yeah. And now the universe is processing her out if she refuses to budge this time.
He's sooo much like me, defines as a Khaote, avoids formal lodges.
Meanwhile crackbear's out here clinging to my old romance playlist for roleplay mixed in with my new great hits and her emo pining, to draw variants of my shit, mostly my shadow block, to hump as a coping body pillow for what she can't face she chose to lose, and refusing to read any books, cuz they will also point out the same things, and it's better for her to hide her eyes from the truth, in her head. Like goddamn it took 2 solid weeks to pull her off the anime octopus jibberish halfway, at least on her blog title, and then she ran to be crackbear. She has no direction, path, reason, method, nothing, she just has what she wants to play barbie in now.
She's been fucking people up for her own ego since Vesuvius. And earlier probably. Not sure why Hermes tried to have faith she'd change now.
Did you know the greeks believed volcanic eruptions came from Tartarus? Funny story.
There were over 111 earthquakes in yesterday's 24 hour period alone, not counting what the eclipse will bring. Our realistic Schumann Resonance with appropriate magnifier is at almost 300 and expected to climb. We're under intense solar winds, only half generated from the sun itself and large portions appearing opposite, coming from Somewhere Else. Radiation is peaking, the aurora is having a disco, the world is shaking, prophets are singing my song that I've never met, and she's still picking her nose and denying everything going on around her when it reads like a fucking book narrative, just deadass able to be followed point to point. One she should even remember, from internet breaks, chat GPT and other AI screams, to our entire solar and other astrological configuration and events. But if she acknowledges that, then she has to acknowledge the other shit.
Yeah man, you made Coyote hate you, and it's all your own fault, process it. Now be honest. All the way. And let us go. All the way. If he decides to return to you then so be it, but let's not pretend he'll fly right back to your window after all this heartless caging. Much less if you continue to refuse the work.
It's time, Shea. You're not a little girl anymore, stop acting like a witch who just found her first "turn into a cat" mewmew rhyme spell on webcrawler.
What you are experiencing is the horrifying realization that for all those years, I was right. And it takes work, effort, and learning. I never force anyone down one specific path, but you tried to force yourself down mine without wanting to actually do it, just ride on my back. I've learned enough to teach dozens of paths, even if they aren't mine, to send people on their way, and you won't even be assed to learn a single one, just play "I'm special cuz I talk to spirits (shadows)" and "om nom nom reeses cups for the gods" with a touch of "feeling nostalgic, gonna pretend I'm not roleplaying to my ex's top jams on his face trying to recreate him." and like. that's it sweetie. That's what you've got.
You literally have to unpack that. You do that? You'll be more powerful than you'll ever know. Give yourself ten years uninterrupted on that path and you, too, may be possessing random idiots like your current self to holler about your shit into the internet because they open door themselves like you do. But right now, you can't even cast a beginner spell. Not really. You can put together parts you read in a recipe but understanding and thus willing its function, no you fuckin don't, miss "tried to summon an archangel and just threw a tiny aaron shadow @ aaron--why is he just laughing and throwing it back at me??"
Because you have no power here. Your heart is in nothing you own, and it certainly isn't with YHVH's path, and you lead people from the path to providence, and there is a millstone reserved for you with him, especially as you cling to your shadow serpents. That's why, Shea.
Your words give life meaning and shape. And until you reach attainment, you can't copy my words. You don't understand them or the state of being or the path that rendered them. You have zero actual UNDERSTANDING, just antithetical mimicry. So, those words give me meaning in your life. Those portraits you convinced others to draw, or drew yourself, those give me power in your life. Every compulsive prayer or offering--frankly every stubborn attempt to reblog hermes to prove something. Am I Hermes? No, but you've wholy attached him to me in your head, hence the renderings you convinced others of, so like. Cool, you reblogged a classic Hermes, I see you're still on your shit with no individual vision?
Your words. Give. Life. Meaning. And if you want to have a meaning in life that isn't defined by me, my shadows, or you spinning in circles of denial, your first words need to be to yourself, and to that shadow lady. And to apologize. To Athena. And reach out and take her hand, and help her out first, and say you're sorry. "You're me." But you gotta understand it Shea. And she's just part of that screaming lady. To be honest, to Mark and anyone else you've fucked up with this. And to apologize to at least Hermes, since I'm still convinced you'll never apologize to me no matter what you've done to me, you've thoroughly dehumanized me in your head to the point transphobia is free.
We've done what we can to help Athena but you have to do SOMETHING. YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE BOX, SHEA.
Hey. Shea.
...Ever wake up from a dream with real weird narrative consistency?
I know you like centering yourself in all things, and while it is literally applicable to you, I do actually mean it about myself.
I did. Took a few dozen bullets to the head and zipping through timelines to find a hat I could save, but I did, okay?
That's what you're fucking off with and refuse to admit.
I really like it here. I just want to be in the game, in peace, but you won't let me, so now we're ending it.
It's time to start facing how deep over your head you are, how large the workings against you are, and how committed I am. It's time to face that this is real. And it's time to cough up my fucking Air Jordans. Because I just need one fucking person to believe me. And that person is you. The metaphorical shoes, madam.
I swear there's some books somewhere about what happens when someone that completes a mystic path dies but doesn't die. IDK, you probably never read any of those. Maybe imagine Jack sparrow in Davey Jones' locker, and when he comes back all the other Jacks are still there, and summarily fuck up anybody else in the locker, and the real secret is, you're all in the motherfucking locker. We're off the edge of the track-map mate, did you think I was kidding?

obligatory mad mew mew for the character asks😔 also asgore ig. just for some Variety’s sake.
Mewmew
(fave thing) iterally everything shes a girlboss

The New Theory About Undertale And Deltarune That Might Blow Your Mind (Or Not)
I just realized something, like if you decide to write “Kris”
for both the Vessel and the Creator, and your vessel that you created ends up being discarded and you just end up being forced to use Kris as a Vessel.
but what if it turns out we are technically we are Kris,
like we know in RWBY Volume 1, Blake was reading a book
about a man with two souls, but what if Kris had not only their soul,
but the Knight’s Soul (controlling them and making their life miserable)
and it was enough to split/cleave Kris’s Soul in two,
like how the soul in Undertale is able to split in two in the fight with Mad Mewmew...?
anyway if you use the name Kris for both the Vessel and Creator’s name
(but I think only some percent of the fans of Undertale/Deltarune, might really be named Kris too.)
but when you get to Dark World, you get to that little white star/save thing.
and instead of having Kris’s name on it, like it might have when we go by a different name for the Creator.
it has the words [Empty], so it could be possible that while there could be other souls besides the player in Kris, that is making them do things against their will.
and the soul that Kris pulls out in Chapter 1, might be either their cleaved Soul half, or it could be Prince Asriel’s Soul that got so full of Chara’s Determination and Essence, and when they both died, the Gaster from Deltarune
took the young prince’s soul and saved it, and when hearing about what the Knight was doing, he decided to place the other version of Asriel’s Soul in Kris to help them fight back the Knight.
well that part about the Asriel from Undertale being the Red Soul that Kris pulls out in Chapter 1, might turn out to be incorrect.
but when Chapter 2 starts up again, and Kris is still in their room
and then goes to Asriel’s computer, and there is a video game that is mention in it.
like what if it turns out the video game that is mention in Asriel’s computer,
turns out to be Undertale, like what if in Deltarune, Undertale is not just a counterpart of Deltarune, but it is a Microverse/Dark World.
and the Knight originally came from that world, and ends up in the Light World.
in the first game that is Undertale, it might not be a Dark World at all.
but at the same time there is a counterpart of it in Deltarune, that could be another Dark World.
it could be possible in a future chapter (maybe not in Chapter 3 but a future Chapter)
Undertale might turn out to be a next Chapter, and instead of just seeing Frisk at the very beginning of the Chapter [Redacted] on the flower bed.
it has both them, Kris, Susie, Noelle and Berdly.
also I believe now that Frisk and Chara in the Undertale Prime Mainstream Timeline, are one in the same.
I mean we always assumed the bandage that has been used several times,
is the band-aid type bandage, but what if it turns out it was one of the bandages (but a small broken version that can be a substitute for a band-aid)
and who else had bandages and were once bandage like a mummy...?
and then buried and were under the bed of flowers...?
Chara, it is possible that the Chara we see in the Geno-Run
(even though I could never get that far to see it and will have to see it on Youtube.)
what if that is Chara but at the same time, it is just a Essence of Chara...?
what if the Red Soul is Asriel’s soul transformed because of Chara’s Essence after he had absorbed Chara’s Soul.
and when they both died and Asriel’s dust was scattered on the flower bed in the throne room, when leaving his original body, he went into a coma in Chara’s body.
another theory can be that Asriel’s Soul could of became a part of Chara’s Soul, but the two ended up blending and becoming someone entirely new,
which ends up being Frisk, in most Fanon Alternate Universes of Undertale,
Frisk had a Family or was a Orphan before falling into the Underground.
but those versions of Frisk, might be what we the fans created.
it could turn out that the Frisk in the Mainstream Timeline in the Undertale Game, is a permanent fusion of Asriel and Chara.
the reason why Frisk is able to leave the Underground,
without absorbing a Monster Soul in the Pacifist and Genocide Routes,
is because their Soul is Part Monster, and is made up of the Original Asriel’s Soul and the Human part is made up of the Original Chara.
plus it could be possible that in Deltarune, before Chara was programed into the Microverse Undertale Game within Delta-Asriel’s Computer.
when Kris was a little kid (which could of happen a few years ago before they became a Teenager), they went through depression and wanting to try to escape by trying to do something to make them feel better.
and one night when their big brother was sleeping,
Kris decided to play that new game on Asriel was programing and made,
and while starting the game, and writing their name “Kris”,
the sound of the game woke up Asriel, and he got really mad
and scared Kris with his yelling at them for messing with his computer,
and after chasing them around the room, Kris runs out of the their shared room, runs outside and then ran into the woods and then to Mount Ebott.
while looking for Kris, Asriel forgot to turn off the game,
and it ends up being dark and since the Mount Ebott in the game was made to look just like the one that is close by to Hometown.
the connection to the two worlds (both the Dark and Light Worlds.)
and Kris having a toy plastic knife with them, they end up tripping
and the toy knight hits the ground and causing a Dark World Portal to open to the Dark World/Game on Asriel’s Computer, then Kris falls into the Dark World Counterpart of Undertale.
and is found by a sweeter and kinder version of their brother.
like in Deltarune, Asriel could of found out from his parents that they are descended from Royalty, so he used that as a idea for his game that he was making.
Kris ends up going missing for sometime, because they ended up staying in the Dark World/Undertale, they had formed a strong bond with the Asriel from there and the King & Queen had adopted them.
and it could turn out that Asriel, the Other one that is Kris’s Big Brother who ended up scaring them and making them runaway to Mount Ebott in the first place.
ended up in that world, and knowing the Dark World versions of his parents and his younger self, wouldn’t simply forget Kris.
he had to program another Human into the world he made,
he replaced them with Chara, and he had to alter the Royal Family’s Memories a bit....like the Undertale/Dark World in Deltarune, in Asriel’s Computer but can be accessed by going through the Dark World Portal in the Mount Ebott in Deltarune.
might be a counterparts of the First Game of Undertale,
the Humans locking Monsters away, could be based off of what Asriel has heard about what Monsters did to Humans.
so while making his video game, he twisted the roles.
but what if when Asriel brought Kris back to the Real World/Light World,
they didn’t come alone and the Knight ended up following them?
there could be some evidence that Frisk is Chara (but at the same time the Original Asriel from Undertale too.)
like the conversation with Gerson in Undertale.
the Dark World could still be a type of Void, but you might have to be at the center of the Dark World/Void in order for those outside it to forget you,
and if someone who is in the Light World and has been in the Dark World before, they will be the only ones who can remember the person or persons who are from the Light World but are in the Dark World.
like anyone who has been in the Dark World/Void before,
they end up becoming immune to the memory loss that happens when entering the Dark World/Void.
even if it might seem like Kris is the one creating the Dark Fountains,
but that might only be half true.
they might be doing it against their will, and it is really the Knight who is a different person from Kris, that is creating the Dark Fountains.
not all theories have to be correct, well it does appear that some fans did get some future events for Chapter 2, right.
like Kris eating the Pie turning out to be canon.
also I am now fully convinced that the Ralsei in Chapter 2,
is not the same one from Chapter 1.
because Ralsei in Chapter 1, seems a little closer to Kris’s height.
I know I had started to get suspicious of Ralsei in Chapter 2,
and well the time with Chapter 1, and wondering if he is truly a villain
or he is just a pawn being used by the Knight.
yeah the Cake turned out not to be a lie in Chapter 2,
and well you have to click on the cauldron in order to get the cake.
plus what if the switch between the Two Ralsei, happen when Kris and Susie were busy with King...?
we know that Lancer’s Dad was about to hurt Kris, when Susie stops him.
what if during that whole scene, when we were focus on those three.
the Other Ralsei kidnap the Real Ralsei we befriended,
and send him into a pocket dimension in Ralsei’s Hat,
and then the Faux Ralsei had placed the hat back on, and took the Real Ralsei’s Place.
because they had been following the trio the whole time,
they were able to pretend to be the Real Ralsei by watching how he interacts with Susie, Kris and Lancer.
but there could of been some interactions he missed,
and so he couldn’t be a perfect copy of the original Ralsei.
the only ones who might can tell that he isn’t the real Ralsei,
is Kris and the Player.
I do have a fan art that has to do with the whole Two Ralsei theory.
I had to edit it a bit just now, but I will be posting it up after I post this.
it could be possible that the Player’s Red Soul, might be Kris’s Real Soul
or at least part of it that was cleaved into Two.
Kris making up the Turquoise Blue Half,
and we the Player make up the Red Half.
this would mean that the Player in the World of Deltarune,
is Kris, while we the Players who play the game from where we live.
are the Other Player.
well not everyone has to agree about that theory.
but I believe that it is possible that a Dark World Counterpart of the First Game Undertale, will be a future Chapter, and Kris and their friends
will end up falling in the first spot in the game and meeting Frisk,
who will be the first to wake up and see a Blue Human and some other Monsters (like Susie, Noelle, Berdly and maybe even Catti.)
and Frisk wakes up Kris or Susie first, and The Fun Gang
has to help protect Frisk while heading to Toriel’s Home.
the Dark World version of Undertale, would still look pretty similar to the first game.
but with some differences, like Alphys not being the Royal Scientist,
but being just the Assistant to the Royal Scientist.
and when we go to the basement, where the coffins are at.
we are able to see the other names on the other coffins,
not just Chara’s (or our names or some other names we use for Chara/Frisk.)
like some of the names on the other coffins,
could turn to be girl, boy and gender neutral names.
Catty in Undertale might not have a sister, and if Catti meets that version of her sister, maybe she would say she seems much more cooler than her big sister Catty from Deltarune.
but even if Catti might act like she hates her sister, she might still love her even if she drives her crazy at times.
I guess some fans besides myself, might suspect that Undertale will be part of a Future Chapter, and it being like both a Dark World and a Microverse within Deltarune.
just like how OK KO Let’s Be Heroes, is a Microverse within Steven Universe,
being inside the Arcade at Beach City.
and if it is true, that Undertale is a Microverse within Deltarune,
that would mean that the Undertale Alternate Universes and Alternate Timelines, are all Microverses within Deltarune.
that would be part of the mind blown theory, but I don’t think a lot of fans would be mind blown by that realization.
Deltarune is still a Alternate Timeline and Universe from Undertale,
but it could still turn out that while both worlds are slightly different from each other, Undertale could turn out to be a Mini Universe within Deltarune.
and it is housed in Asriel’s Computer in Asriel & Kris’s Room.
not everyone has to agree about some of the theories I had talked about in this.
but Frisk being a permanent fusion of Chara and Prince Asriel,
and while Asriel and Chara went into a coma in Chara’s Body,
their Souls end up merging into one and becoming Frisk.
in the Fanon Alternate Universes and Timelines made by fans,
Frisk, Chara and Asriel’s Souls are not one in the same.
but in the game, it could turn out that Frisk’s Soul might be a fusion of Chara and Asriel.
and Flowey is only half of Asriel, making up the memories that is from the dust essences of the Prince.
I wonder what Chapter 3 will be like...?
and it’s okay if some of my theories might turn out to be wrong.
but some theories might turn out to be right.
like the Pie turned out to be canon for one.
someone had accidentally predicted that, and it was the best thing version.
that and some elements in Paper Trial somehow predicting some of the stuff in Chapter 2, that was another best thing ever.
also my theory about Asriel from Deltarune not being as sweet as the one from Undertale, might turn out to be true.
like if you check under Asriel’s bed in Chapter 2, well it makes me think he stole from Catty & Catti.
and even if I am gonna being playing Chapter 1 first and then work my way up to Chapter 2, I had found out from watching on Youtube.
that if you check out Asriel’s Room in the Cyber-Dark World with Susie with you,
and something that Susie sees in the room, might end up earning Asriel a insistent dislike from Susie.
Asrie might have a thing for Dragons, and whatever it is in Asriel’s Room in the Cyber-Dark World, might be really inappropriate.
which explains why Kris keeps their eyes shut when opening the door,
but Susie sees it and ends up disliking Asriel.
when I can, I hope to check that out once I reach Chapter 2 again.
I think if there was a Crossover AU of Deltarune x Red Vs Blue,
I think Deltarune-Asriel, would be the Tucker.
it took me watching the first season of Red Vs Blue, again...
to figure out that Tucker is a Cute Idiot.
Grif is just the adorable cinnamon roll, which shows when Locus finds them by themselves after the others left.
anyway like I said before, if there was a Crossover AU of Deltarune x Red Vs Blue, Asriel would be the Tucker.
Berdly would be the Simmons most likely.

That sweet and worried little mew
The kitten in the hall was calling
Then there were two
Mew
Meow
Meow meow mew
Both my cats pleading, "let us through"
But I must sleep soundly for my head
Not let the kitties claw my body into their bed
Then the third who lives outside
Yowling most undignified
And another
And another
Then several strangers' cries
Myow meow yowl meow mew
But what was I supposed to do
Already snuggled in my blanket's hold
I'd dare not brave the summer cold
Myow mryeow yowl meow yowl meow mew
Meaning, "Sleep now, rats' nest,
Be at peace
The Cat King comes only to eat"
Mryeow yowling mhrow meow myal nyalch hack hack myow meow mew mew .... howling growling purring clicking hissing meowing
In a legion's chorus
More stern and demanding calling from the brood
Brushing roughly
Fighting
Bumping
Thrashing
Against the door of my poor bedroom
Making me wish that I had never stirred
Worrying I won't be waking soon
Hearing the scratching down the hall
On the ceiling
In the attic
At the window
In the walls
As if a hundred tigers prowled on a thousand paws
The Cat King, Falchion of the Gutting Gods
Nine shadowed heads lifting
Licking with 18 graveled tongues
Bloody whiskers
Matted furs
Bare skin and mangey mane
Meow mreow myah nyuh meoch mew hach nyack myeoow mew myeh mew
"Whatever, kittens, shall we do?
Human is as fun to play with as to chew
How do we savor this lovely mood?
Do we chase?
Do we rend it here?
Bleed it?
Leave it?
Keep on the move?
Do we feast,
With widened eyes,
Gobbling down the most gourmet of wet cat food?"
Meow mreow yeowl growl raowl hiss myeh nyach myah mew meoch hiss hiss meow nyeow nyeowch nyah meow meow mew mewmew mew mew mewmew mewmewmewmewmew
Then the pain
Scratches up my tattered legs
Scratches down my ripping arms
In my severed ribs were several hundred bitemarks
And, over the sound of my screaming
Were their voices in my brain
"There's more than one way to skin nearly anything
But there's always a fun way for the Gutter God Falchion, The Great
The Wicked, Crooked Magistrate
The Most Unexalted and Unwanted Being
The Wildest Stray
The Horrible Cat King"

Intergalactic Interrogations (II)
"Where am I?"
[What do you mean?]
"Instead of just sitting there moving blood all day, and failing roughly might I add,- Are you recording this conversation? That's disrespectful, I'll have you know we started learning binary and ridiculous little facts about your friend. I don't know who raised you wrong,"
[Hey.}
"I'd- {emmited} have you forget. Speak English numb for brawl! *maybe there is a slap here*"
["Go to the top 10 close or near you everywhere you go that you consider the smartest people in the world & become their best friends foreverest...,"
I drawl out every one of my answers like a disgusting fountain, yet they aren't happy with any of them.
To think it all could have started with a scared girl asking me what I know and warp through timespace paranoia,
or that quantum mechanics has caused this all to be real.]
"Here's (apparently) what living sages do they write all of the time. And they secretly don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about them."
[I'm listening to someone write the show for me, I don't always connect parts of my brain with other parts so well, but when I don't its's because I'm completely mental that I can make things out as other sounds.]
"He inserted apparently over us. What a dick head."
[I was writing before this as well. Get ready for another roundabout of Intergalactic Interrogations]
["How would you describe this, Fake Judas(2) what kind of situation do we have here? Remember, I'm made to forget and then reremember again."]
"It's very logical. It's simple. You have to have a Marine Corp mindset in infilitrating the cause."
[I am both afraid and completely unafraid of what I am doing. To be afraid of this silly game would be ridiculous and stupid. On the other hand he's been learning from me as I learn from him-]
"He's been completely thinking ridiculous things over what we're saying. He's a whoremonger."
""IT IT,"" maybe demons scream, but I am untethered from the boulder like a chain beneath the ocean, the weight simply presses into the sand. The fishes swim around as I wander in my drowning to the top where the ship is safe in the sunlight.
[On the other hand- quantum questions pose like prose, possessing possibly - I ignore FakeJudas(2). It is hard to keep up with everything. I need a writer still. I turn to Affiliate. Please have Alliteration do her thing without guiding us into rap for hours on end again, thank you very much. Affiliate looks confused and furious, for I often thought he was on the wrong end of the job spectrum ever since our staycation in the fire bird land of no sounds, place of the falsified Gods, faces in the spaces, The Devil's home of Peter's ignorances ...
Anyway where was I? It is really hard to keep up with everybody and everything. There is a whole plot line, that I feel truly matters, and we are all missing it for the amount of activity going on in all of your heads while I've got mine. Is it mine? To start. Or are all of these conversations I'm tapping into the way of the real brain. Every particle of water an ocean? Every idea a world of thought? I already thought so. It isn't time for creative freedoms. I think we are supposed to focus on my suicide. For the sake of suicide.
"Aha! Where we were last standing, one of the better reasons why I have roses elegantly and unevenly tattooed on my fingers. They're both cocked and one is in my mouth outright, while the other is at you. It was in your hands, and I gave you the tools necessary to save it. Save your belly aching. Every bit of paranoia, was it real, or were you trying to induce it? Save it for the masses. I know it's always a little bit of both. And that the most obvious answer is usually the truth. Variety is the best spice- and I'll have at my dad's pizza with way too much spice, for the loving good Grace from which Moses parted the water of life into place, (I am making a Tokyo MewMew joke that is a bit elongated) the V for which has He, Friends With Time, Drawer of Lord Excalibur when I actually love myself, rainbow gay pride I've forgotten uniciorn chapter books volume one and two powers activate!)
*I start to turn, /now I am not paying attention to anything as I mash jokes into my own life story./
"This is what we paid for. This is disgusting filth. Think you can handle it?"
Think you can handle it? Would Filthy Frank even read this shit right here? We didn't even pay for all of these references. We're just hoping we get so many more people on team blue than team red so that we're able to just diss the suing right out of the waters like a lotus. Hah! Get that. I'm named after water so I'm doing water jokes. Listen, kid. I have heard a lot of jokes from the demons. You really don't want to start with me. I'm trained to accept them as a compliment, which I was saying back before we were all *I'm channeling Filthy Frank's voice in a ricefields sunhat visor right here* simple and shit. Now they are even trying to insult me with compliments and it's working. Listen, you never did knew that evil was good and proper and right. There was a new face of evil on the block, and it was the face of a genius sociopathic borderline child.
"Oh my God, You really do think like you're God."
[Guess what. Bitches, I have Autism so I cannot understand the emotional connotation in your words. Knowing that, I interpret it as fast as crazy, which is why no sweat because I also know that sometimes that's exactly what you're doing. Meaning I think of many ideas and crap. Your every thought could come to me like an intellectual process. I have no way of being.]
"Do you think you're special? Stay on topic please, I've seen we've gone a little socio today lady."
["I am silent. All is the same in my canoe which is made of wood and has travelled from hell through the underground rivers to the open and vast, great sea. Cold, or hot, shivering or sweating, thirst or hunger, war, famine, fire, flood, I know that I must and can navigate through it and 'round, 'round again, for this canoe and its lantern was tethered to my soul, it was tethered to my idea of neutral state meditation through chaotic forces. I was the canoe, one could say. I was the ship. Or the wood. The wood which came from the tree. Maybe The Tree. A Tree of Time, careful creature, making friends with it. And as the tree, and with brainwaves being like a tree, and all things one in the same, I made a hollow for those beyond to perch before they fade to worlds-"]
"This is artinery, itternerary(?) Get to the point."
[Often what I say, I sort of contribute to ghosts and other things.]
"This is what we get out of you? Jesus. (What are you, Santiago?) What happened to the sainthood?"
["Indeed I am Santiago, Another one of my many names, Dare ye say it, (Which they didn't.)]
"Look at what this kid is thinking of completely loaded. I think that maybe it is hilarious. Or perhaps all his excuses for crap."
[Indeed that all of this content was now filler. JENGA was on hiatus since the before times. We cannot remember those Interrogation Negotiations. But they were amazing. We have screenshots of half of them and had to delete the better half because they were too good and terrifying. We will try to interpret the rest of them someday (soon?).]
[The prophet wasn't just an excuse I made up. It was A Dream. A Dream that one day we will live not by the color of our skin, but by the confusing and complex mental makup which propels us towards the best future for us evolutionarily. Forget about that, everything. Like you have made me, by my words, let us start from the beginning.
Two systems learning from each other causes complex interactions to occur, especially when both have different and unfair advantages over each other. One could say each part of the brain that makes up the whole is its own complex system.]
"Stop talking about them to other people. I hope they rot for what they did to those people."
[Here is a classic bit where I have the chance to explain how either The Devil or The Enemy (FakeJudas2) Might try to make me look like the culprit. Reverse Psychology. It works on me. Which is why my card is chaotic. I don't want you to know what I'm doing, and if you do, then why should it matter what I do? It seems the whole world knows and yet no one knows. God knows what nobody feels like, because he is like us, we are made in his image. If I am nobody, he is nobody. So nobody knows just as well enough as anybody knows. But in both parts give or take, there are still bodies. Lot's of bloody and mutilated bodies which The Enemy has made of my Friends' & Loved One.]
/I take le break/
Depending on how serious JENGA gets, we have to use different members of the army through me. How did we get here, how is this all possible. It is a really meaningful story with lots of science, but we do not have infinite time. I will try to get to that at most.
"What about your boyfriend,"
["For the sake of Einstein, for the sake of proving you can go from Autism to full-blown socio, that realizing the brain works in the way that it does, and that it is all of your faults for being stupid assholes. It my fault for being a stupid asshole. And God is My Judge. Not You."]
"So, are you planning on telling him about any of this, or do you not know how important he is?"
["For the sake of insanity, genius is found."]
"Are you still completely avoiding the question? And how is it that he knows we're watching him for? Does he complete God in the blood?"
[Some things I do not understand. Or remember, or reitterate well. Catch me on drugs. Dattebayo! *flashback* Dattebayo was where it all started. The ten men, pandora's box, the stories, the puzzles, the lands across, the signs, a single time fine dining, and it is also there but not completely all-there.]
"So dattebayo was where it all started, huh? How embarrassing for one so wasted on the regular."
["Never giving up. Dattebayo. Believe it."
"How about the story of the modulators some more? Before or after they were modulators? I have many stories to entertain you."]
"even when the conversation is all dead he has a way of going more crazy."
a girl chimes in "He's probably been listening to what we are saying and considering it as JENGA."
he continues "Tell me a story to entertain me, that is what I am here for, give me a wild ride, show me some lude-icrous, something more, vivid, that shows me your kind of ideal lifestyle."
["You sounded like the villain in Tarzan for a second there. Well that's me, Tarzan. Me. Need. Jane. Didn't think I could play her. Rub the mud on my face, ask my monkey mother why I am not like them, she says to wipe the mud off.]
"I'm getting more curious, about what you're doing... you can write more than pages, you can write a book."
[I have, it's something I've always been working on. I've written loads of books, just lost, unpublished, deleted...
How about I get really high and have someone speak through me now that we're getting down to the odds and ends. Let's get to the nitty-gritty of it. Once you find a way to constantly market off of things that might bother you, you have struck gold my son. The idea however, is to make them better, not worse, so they have a reason to last through the ages. Easier said than done...]
"He/She talks like an old wheezer. They can't- Can they hear me? Can they hear over our conversations? *plethoras of someones' breathy Oh my Gods" over everything. That means they know we're here, they can really hear us! Good job,"
[Did the dialogue switch into a ghosts' narration? It is hard to tell without any figures to watch with my eyes, and the words coming with systems built into a natural Ouija of my own. I won't literally raise hell again, yet... it is always tempted. And must be avoided. We're stepping too close to stories of old. The quantum questions must be pressed. Think harder. I don't know what it is you're thinking, I'm only typing. I am a genius if we aren't psychic, and a numbskull for God if we are All One.
The modulators can be set to different configurations, and put into different settings and events to see the initial outcomes in a module.
At all of the Modulators worst configurations, M for their last name is capital. A good example of perfect awful configurations is religious reenactments by a family module within my own person. One's nature is that of a dads', Two is that of a moms', Three is that of a sons', four is that of a daughters', And the configurations always leans towards the predominantly biased neutral algorithyms.
Too much math, too may graphs to come, not sure how to organize it all, so we will have to say, partay.]
"So it feels like you're being taken advantage of by everything." my best friend asks me as my mom may also paranoidly be bothering my brother about me in the distance because I am typing so fast in the middle of the night.
[We've has this conversation before, so it's GroundHog day, only bigger, it's a show.]
"That's what we've been trying to tell you, You should write a show instead of bothering, us."
["Where is Jeremy Todd Ewbank?" I am the horseman, or headless, all the numbers, and the dungeon master because we currently already have a dab master, so you can Direct Message me the answer, Because I'm the Daniel Manual you've been looking for.]
"Jeremy Ewbank is not with us anymore. He's literally done. He can barely breath from your shit."
[The interrogations go haywire as soon as they begin again. Which one of us is being interrogated. "What happened to Jeremy Ewbank. Don't make me rhyme a hundred things with master in a bad rap. Aye, you know that gurl was my princess. You know, we know, we would never let go of or throw away one another, so where is he, *I put an invisible gun, but because I have written this, I will always be paranoid of them. We have to avoid them.
Evacuation Strategies:
Red dots: Fun if you're a cat, dangerous if it is a gun. Shrodinger's Gun.
I take a break from interrogations because of laziness and lack of drugs. "JENGA," I claim, and the imaginary tower falls. How to explain a thing about creative manifestation to you, about all of the wild possibilities? So hard, I'd rather play Nintendogs for three hours.]
This is breaking bread with thine enemy

All mentions of “Angels“ in DELTARUNE and UNDERTALE
Note: one of these mentions is just a figurative mention comparing a pet cat to “an angel,“ and is probably not relevant to the question of who “The Angel“ is in either UNDERTALE or DELTARUNE.

🌸Rise of the Blood Dawn and anime inspo🌸
I’ve always read comics and graphic novels because my parents read them (mom = horror and sci-fi and dad = Donal Duck and Tintin) so when manga surfaced in Denmark in the 00’s it was never going to escape me!
At the tender age of 11 I bought my first few series (dragon ball, ranma, invu, d-n-angle, Tokyo mewmew, love hina and most impotaintly: ORORON THE DEMON) basically I bought everything in the bookstore’s tiny selection. Then I went to England and bought them out too (my suitcase had to be checked at departure and when the clerk opened it, tons of mildly graphic yaoi spilled out...).
And from there the nippophilia grew at a steady pace.
Anime came later for me, partly because it was impossible to come by (other than awesome Akira, incredible Gost in the shell and that horrible dragon ball show where they’re on namik and scream all the time) and partly because I was so deep in manga and writing Fanfics, that I had enough!
But when that dam broke, man, it was FLOOD!
And I’ve been very inspired by it all while writing my fantasy!
The Serpent Kiss has a ton of manga/anime tropes and I intended it that way because I love them!
I think they’re super fun to write!
And whenever my betas comment on how they feel a bit of anime-flair in the fight scenes, I get so happy!
Five very important animes on my inspo list are:
Naruto, but mostly just Kakashi and Saske’s stories. I like the clan fights and the bad blood, and of course, Kakashi’s anbu phase!
Darker than Black, so so so good! The first season had me rewatching over and over! His deception and his relationship with Yin is just so devestatingly ‘i love you but I don’t have emotions’-ish. I could read fics about them all day.
Avatar the Last Airbender, some argue it isn’t ‘anime’ but who cares, honestly, the characters are all so deep and the fighting animation is INSANELY detailed!! And it’s pg13!?! So inspiring so beautiful and just, so funny! The humor is priceless!
Samurai Champloo, Mugen. Need I say more? I’m in love. And also, the series is very short and free on YouTube and I cannot say how many times I’ve watched it already! SWORDS TO DIE FOR!
Full Metal Alchymist Brotherhood, yes yes yes this is perfection. From the religious aspect to the ‘third reich’ reference to the race war/hate/guilt ! Not only are Ed and Al, and their personal journey so beautiful and hard, but the world and the extermination war gives me chills! And don’t even get me started on the kickass magic!!
I tend to dive deep into shows and books that has a complex world or complex/problematic characters. And a dark element. I’m also into hardcore fluid fight scenes!
SAO has its moments but the whole thing is too sugary for me. Meh.
And what’s that anime called with the short-haired (pink) girl with glasses that can make her blood to a sword? Woah! I just remember the fight scenes being super pretty and devestating!
So yeah, in The Serpent Kiss we have the tiny girl with the big blade, the masked Kakashi tutor (through Kiel really isn’t as fun and loving as Kakashi, they definitely share a chill bro vibe). And, never forget, the INSANE boss fight where the fights layer!
Shiroin has to fight three times at the end of Book One, all right after each other, all meaning something difirent in loss/win.
It’s very classic shonen though the overall series is more Josei.
And I still watch anime after anime to get inspired!
I just finished Killer B (animation through tha roof !), a rewatch of Death Note (though I like the manga better), Devil Cry Baby, Erased (so powerful!), Castlevania (I’m a little ‘huh?’ It felt too short and strangely paced but I liked the characters and the style is so nice!)!!
Banana Fish and Gangstar (The manga is dope) are both next on my list!
If you have some other shows with this kinda vibe, I’ll be happy to watch!!
I would love some horror recommendation!

There is a part of me that feels a little bad I’m not waiting on edge to see Endgame: a few years ago I definitely would’ve done the whole ‘preorder-and-see-RIGHT-NAOW-thing.’ I want to feel everyone else’s excitement, I just don’t.
I never felt like the MCU handled emotional storylines as well as they could’ve. Tony, Steve and Thor were their best but even then nothing landed on more than a surface level to me. You know how it is: you go to a movie and while you’re there you acknowledge the sad things the characters go through but when you leave you’re not holding onto their pain for days on end.
Don’t get me wrong, there are characters and stories that stick with me for a long long time: I’m still not over the ending of Legion S2 and I’m only now getting to a point where I’m considering watching Logan again (after seeing it twice in theatres two years ago xD;) And to prove that I’m not simply bias in favor of the X-men Wonder Woman makes me cry every time. The anime ending for Full Moon wo Sagashite left me tearing up and there was one episode of Tokyo MewMew that did the same. Maybe it’s just what I relate to or maybe it’s my dislike of Disney’s position as essentially Thanos of the entertainment industry but I just think they’re missing something in that department.
I will admit for the most part the writing in the MCU is consistently better than the Xmen movie franchise and definitely above most of the DCEU. That doesn’t mean they hit stronger emotional notes it just means the plots and overall world-building flow smoothly. The MCU is fun and light and flashy and that’s great: it gets the blood pumping and spirits lifting and sells a helluva lot of merchandise. Because it is all of these things however it suffers when it wants to sober up. At least in my opinion. If they stop treating trauma and tragedy with the ‘punchline’ approach and actually delve into more consistent mature themes then I think they really will be the overall superior superhero film franchise. Until then...I’ll be very surprised if Endgame makes me cry--Infinity War didn’t...but I’m open to a good challenge. Bring it on, Disney.
(Please note I’m not including the Defenders in this because obviously they’re geared towards an older audience. I’m also not mentioning Loki because my opinions about him are pretty unpopular.)

yo i got a question, why/how are your original character designs so consistently excellent??
AAAAAAAaaaaa!! o(*≧□≦)o Thank you so much!!
I less design my OCs to look good and rather, try my best to design them around their personalities and backstories if you know what I mean? I apologize I’m probably going to go on a bit of a ramble here with little to no knowledge of design because I really love my OCs;
Edit now I’ve actually written all of this: ITS SUPER LONG IM SO SORRY
Like, for example, Neta’s design is based all around looking warm and making her look short. She’s the start of her plot, always kind and helpful. Somewhat impulsive (extremely impulsive at times really). She’s also a somewhat abstract detective too. So for her I gave her a warm palette for her personality, also a really long coat because characters wearing long drapey clothing like the trench coat that covers most their body seems to make characters look smaller to me? I went with the boots for the same reason.
On the other hand, her girlfriend Fuyu (excuse the old art I’ve not drawn her recently) is different because of this. Their colours are blue in hues because she’s like a “Cool untouchable” looking person, since her character has a job based in fame. Her outfit while it had to be something water-based for plot reasons, could of quite easily been a wetsuit. It’d of been less sexually appealing though and that’s not in her personality. She’s the type of person to exploit people she doesn’t know by using her charm, and showing off her legs (which are muscular! but i cant draw that properly yet), and having her long, flowing and glowing hair is meant to make her look enchanting too.
On the other hand! An extra point about Fuyu, I tried my best to show her casual personality in her look too, with a puffy blue jacket from her girlfriend and the way her hair hangs limp and in her face outside of water is supposed to show a sort of down-to-earth look to her too.
Hahahaha, not sure if I’ve pulled that off though.
I say the most important part of character designs is trying as much as possible to put a character’s personality and history into their design.
I give shy or cool standoffish characters mostly blues and cooler colours to show how not-fiery their personality is. The lighter the colours, like pastels, the more likely the person looks cheerful or happy or innocent (the except for this is when a character uses white and are used for bad guys, probably in an attempt to show off how ‘blank’ their feelings are). Greens are mostly kind, nurturing people, like nature. Pinks and yellows are for more happy carefree people (while writing this I realize Tokyo MewMew is a really good example of using colours to show personality)
Is your character non-confrontational? Draw their body language inwards, have them hunching their shoulders, holding their hands close to their chest and their legs closer together too. Have them avert their eyes a lot from the camera or be just-off from looking at the person.
On the opposite hand, a character with a loud boisterous personality that would confront people a lot, have them look directly at the person they’re looking at if they are, they’d almost be looming over other people. Definitely not hunching. They’d probably use their arms and body language a lot more to talk to people in order to express themselves better. Draw them with their arms more spread out too! Open, maybe even slightly claw-like unless they’re angry or intending to punch someone.
I don’t think I draw confrontational characters a lot actually.
The next thing you need to think of which is really important is their nationality.
Biologically wise and how they were raised too.
Now, I know that people say you need to add more variation in skin colour and nationalities to your OCs, but they’re your OCs. Circumstances may make them all from the same country. For example if you have something based in Japan, obviously more of your characters are going to be Japanese. You might worry this won’t give you variation, but don’t worry! If you do it right then despite them all being japanese- heck, they could all have black hair and black eyes- you could still make them completely different.
I find showing nurture is just as important as showing everything else.
My earlier OCs show a lot less of this. One of them, a character called Dannie (I can’t find her right now) I made in middle school, has a look that is different from their past, from their nurture. Her clothes show her as a tough person, a crop top with a popped collar, an exposed stomach, dirty jeans. Spiky hair done up in a ponytail. Sharp red eyes. All of this shows a somewhat rebellious child in her looks, but her personality isn’t really like that at all. I’ve hopefully improved by then!
One of my favourites of diversity and character design I did are the six main characters from my Haven story. Though they don’t have names yet (and honestly, I’m using colours for their names so often they might as well be), the most important part of them are their personality showing in their looks.
The first one, orange haired, eyes averted, wears a thick coat and a scarf in any weather is me trying to express they’re trying to hide and cover themselves up.
The second one, the white one, uses blues and whites in order to seem colder, with unnaturally yellow eyes to put the casual person off even further. They also have extremely formal wear with layers of clothing that are also rather traditional compared to everyone else. Most of her design is trying to show how anti-social everything about her is.
The third, the yellow guy is sort of portrayed to be a delinquent. In most Japanese culture that I know of, males with dyed blonde hair are seen as delinquents. His sleeveless jacket is also there to show how rebellious he is (honestly, who wears a sleeveless jacket? they’re so impractical). Actually, while I’m on about him being impractical, if you look closer everything he wears is impractical. His roots are showing, he has a turtleneck under under the shirt which is under a jacket. The heck? That’s because when you get to know him he’s actually a really awkward person who just doesn’t know how to express himself so resorts to blustering a lot.
The fourth one is honestly my favourite. Pink, despite being the prettiest, the most popular, and even a cheerleader, is actually the main fighter of the group. Her body language is supposed to show confidence and show off her muscles proudly despite being a female. I used pinks and pastely colours to attempt to show off how cheerful she normally is.
The fifth is supposed to be the opposite of her despite dressing similar. The hair is in a ponytail but it’s cut straighter and more conservative. They’re both wearing jackets but despite that one has their sleeves rolled up while the other has theirs zipped up (and if the hands were showing, they’d have long sleeves too). The darker and more purple colours are supposed to show some sort of maturity but also I was trying for some detachment.
The last one with the grey is honestly the easiest of them all, The hair is messy, their jacket is a mess, they’re wearing goggles, and feathers. Everything about them is designed to be ‘wild’ and practical but still somewhat civilized. They’re also the most confrontational of the bunch!
Ah I totally went on, and I could of gone on longer too if I thought you wanted to hear a whole essay on how much I love my characters. o(*≧□≦)o
Maybe I should draw you something sometime? (●´ω`●)ゞ Ehehehehe..
