had to remember what the hell i meant by papyton (doomed) (what the hell i meant was yet another overanalysis of a character relationship that is way more bizarre than it seems at first glance). such is my brand 😭 and please do forgive the scattershot explanation! i have been in a real bad mire of writer's block lately.

in undertale, the core cast are all pretty tightly interwoven. unlike deltarune, which presents a pretty sprawling web of interconnected characters across the dark world, the underground is a pretty compact place. everyone seems to know everyone in the underground – and most of our main cast have some sort of significant on-screen interaction with one another. sans and papyrus are brothers with goofy antics akin to tall-and-short-guy mooks of the 90s, alphys and undyne are the core romantic relationship of the game, toriel and asgore are former paramours, alphys is mettaton's pal and made his robot body for him – you name it. the core six even get to banter with one another in the true pacifist ending, letting characters interact who normally don't get the chance to and establishing a sense of closure to the game.

a lot of these personal connections are established off-screen, too. flowey's done everything we've done offscreen and has some pretty personal connections to alphys, papyrus, and – of course – his family. mettaton visits undyne's house to lie on her piano. sans and toriel's conversations at the ruins door have a ripple effect that echoes throughout the game. and all of these are personal connections, the sort that characterize the world of the underground itself – that is, except for papyrus and mettaton's relationship.

papyrus and mettaton don't interact onscreen at all during any given route. they're both very similar – oozing with genuine confidence, unabashedly "themselves" – but we hardly even see them in the same room together. papyrus gets a moment in true pacifist to look at mettaton's hot leg, and the alarm clock dialogue mentions them both being at the same holiday party (ft. another leg), but strangely, that's about it. there's a certain level of distance placed between papyrus and mettaton – which wouldn't exactly strike me as so interesting if it weren't for the fact that papyrus just does not shut up about mettaton. i mean, just listen to him;

(see also; the "would you smooch a ghost?" from the papyrus qna. that's probably the most blatant you could get if you're doing a romantic reading.)

but the way papyrus talks about mettaton is also quite interesting – reminiscent of a celebrity crush. it adds an air of near-parasociality to the dynamic that stands out next to such a tight-knit cast.

all this to say, there is one instance in the game where they interact in a more personal way. it's one most players won't see – the ending where mettaton becomes king of the underground and turns it into his own personal playground, making sure no dissenters can ruin his 100% approval rating. only papyrus and sans remain in his orbit – as his personal agents. they're the only two who get to be on the level.

all in all, i find this conspicuous setup super interesting. i can't say with certainty if it was on purpose – but considering what it could mean regardless has really begun to drive my thoughts about these two. what could it say about their dynamic that the only time we see them together is when they're at their worst?

#ooc #papyrus #mettaton #papyton #undertale #is this papyton? sort of. it's definitely about their relationship in a romantic sense... #i don't think i'd call it outright parasocial because the underground's society isn't much like our own. like many mtt things it's just an #approximation. but that said. What Are You Two #(shakes them until all the coins fall out) #also all this said i don't think you have to read it as romantic! i just like to :0

Question for void! What is your favourite outfit??

*He sounds nostalgic. The gift must have been from someone important to him.

#this is kinda ooc bc he wouldn’t really answer a question w/ smth this personal right out the gate BUT #I saw this in a vision and it made me emotional so I really wanted to do it anyways <3 #the friends shown are a dreemurr family from an au where monsters were never trapped underground and the monarchy was dissolved over time #they live on a big peaceful farm. Void crash landed in their au once and they helped him heal enough he could travel again. they told him #to come back and visit sometime and he convinced himself it was to repay their kindness w/ some sort of gift but he wound up visiting #multiple times after that. he sort of kind of has a rule against Just Because visiting AUs but it should be no surprise he winds up making #exceptions often lol #this sweater in particular meant a lot to him because chara and Asriel were so excited to give it to him bc Toriel let them help make it #anyway- #💕💜✨🌻 #alpacacare #tyyy for the ask ❕❕❕💚 #vf void #capricious skeletons #vesselfell #vesselfell papyrus #snow and hail

Hey everyone! How are you doing today?

Just an update on things. I am feeling better mentally today, and I got Hali back to her home not too long ago! Yes, she’s finally in Labyrinthos y’all! And my brain has exploded with so many headcanons about her returning home that I think I’m not only going to be revising my post about Hali’s family, but I am also going to be writing up a whole post dedicated to Hali returning home and the consequences of that. Remember, she is a Sharlayan fugitive after all!

I also have more written of the WIP that I hope to publish soon, Aymeric and Hali’s first meeting. I also hope to have a full Hali x Aymeric ship timeline posted sometime this week, so please look forward to all of this soon!! In the meantime, I’ll be getting Hali through more of the Endwalker MSQ.

So happy to be able to write again! Thank you all so much for all of the encouragement and the wonderful advice and support over the last few days. I love you all so much!! 🥰💖

When I find the perfect playlist for Yelan after having walked through (and watched) part of the first Chasm quest again. I forgot how far underground it is, how eerie it is, how the Abyss is encroaching all around it— and the Celestial Nail just gives me goosebumps. Yelan, you worry me so much; I just want you to be sane, and warm, and safe.

The more I think about storybrooke logistics the more my fucking brain hurts. Like. There’s the really simple stuff that can easily just be explained away by “magic” with no real thought and just a lazy piece of fucking duct tape such as: mail. Stores/restaurants being restocked. How does the money work? Taxes! What’s going on there?!?! But then there’s like BIG stuff that makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE.

Like okay fine it’s a self contained bubble of magic so things just magically restock whatever FINE. Lazy but fine.

But what about when Regina tells Emma she has to take nick and Ava (aka Hansel and Gretel) out of storybrooke to go to an orphanage in Boston? Like yeah I know it DOESNT end up happening but why would Regina even try it if “something bad happens when people leave storybrooke” (also like bruh what happens? Do they just die? Poof out of existence?? What then??

And then there’s the time Kathryn gets ACCEPTED TO LAW SCHOOL?! Bitch WHERE?!?! Ur not a real person. Do you have a social security number? Did u apply for fucking FAFSA???? Like what the literal fuck is going on

#this show is SO stupid #.ooc ( it feels so empty without me ) #like okay I get that not every single detail has to be explained realistically #but like???? there’s never any explanation for any of this whatsoever and ‘magic’ just doesn’t work for everything #like I remember reading somewhere that the basic rule for describing any weird made up logic in fiction #is only going like two layers deep #and it was like if vamps can’t go in the sun why don’t they go underground #and the first layer was like oh bc there’s vampire eating alligators down there #naturally leading to the question of why tf are there alligators down there #to which the second layer was given of the underground nuns take care of them and raise them down there #and that with just those two wild scenarios u can assume there’s an answer for any other questions too #and/or the second layer can loop back to the beginning: the nuns went underground and raised vampire eating alligators to kee vampires #out of the sewers #but in OUAT there’s like. no layers to the logic lol #and if there’s any layer it’s always just magic and that’s it which is dumb #and doesn’t actually fill the plot hole #it just makes more and magic can’t always be the answer #anyway my brain hurts
