Love That The Overwhelming Urge To Create Only Shows Up When I Have Immediate Schoolwork To Do Yup

Been getting back into Undertale recently, did some character designs :D

OH FUCK I JUST REMEMBERED

IVE BEEN AVOIDING OPENING UNDERTALE BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE TO JUST BE HAPPY ON THE SURFACE

BUT I FORGOT UNTIL THESE MOMENTS PRIOR

THAT I NEVER ACTUALLY COMPLETED THE GAME. I STOPPED RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BARRIER SO THAT I COULD GO BACK AMD TALK TO EVERYONE

BUT I JUST DIDNT

AND NOW THEYVE BEEN TRAPPED IN SUSPENSION, PARADISE JUST A FEW STEPS OUT OF REACH FOR ENTIRE MONTHS

OH GOD

Doing comics, and after fifteen minutes of hand lettering, realized that at some point I had deleted one of the lineart layers 👍👍

Whoo, screenshot redraw because this episode... This episode.

So Wander's been pretty much confirmed to be immortal, seeing how he was at a conjunction 1000 years ago, still looking the exact same. And wow he really just pulled the *exact* same shit on Major Threat. I'd always suspected that Wander was older and smarter than he first appeared, but I was not expecting the show to outright confirm it in all honesty.

Same with how Wander and Sylvia met. I confess to knowing about the whole 'Sylvia named Wander' thing beforehand, but honest to God I thought that that was just a popular headcanon. Holy fuck. Wander really just went 'I like the sound of that' after being called a Wandering Weirdo. I really want to know the story on how Wander convinced Syl to turn an entirely new leaf.

I also can't fucking believe they were just stuck in the past and had to stay on the same planet for 50 years. What the fuck. Sylvia was really just on the verge of dying of old age, and according to the writers Wander really just pretended to be old to make her feel better.

Then the whole 'With you, it wasn't a waste of time.' I'm getting that annoying sad lump in my throat just thinking about it. They really just killed off the main characters right in front of us. This was the same shock I had with Beep Boop. This show seems so goofy and 'conventional child cartoon' that when they break from the status quo on how these storylines usually go, it just hits a million times harder. I think the first time that I properly realized this was when we met Helpless! Wander. Like, Sylvia learnt to accept every part of her friend and saved him. Episode over, right?

But no, there's one part of him still missing, a part that 'self-love is practically a religion' Wander didn't want back. So Sylvia goes back and finds a part of Wander that's genuinely terrified and vulnerable. We've seen Wander scared before, but that was always a loud, manic sort of fear. This was just... Quiet. Wander's never quiet.

Point is that I thought I was going to get a funny, well-animated cartoon from the out-of- context video that convinced me to watch it. I was not expecting genuinely tragic characters and storylines.

Also just the sound design. I really like the sound design. It's just so fun and constant.

9 more episodes left to go... Hhhhhhhhh

WAIT NO I JUST REMEMBERED THE MONKEY THEORY. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS UP WITH THAT?

I'm literally smiling so wide right now holy shit-

There. Can't formulate words. I love this show so much. Wander, favourite character ever. I am so glad(?) that Dominator stays evil. And Hater actually being component?? I'm surprised that Peepers didn't propose right then and there, he was so fucking enamored. And Sylvia my beloved she is just so cool.

But you can tell that the show was cancelled on them unexpectedly. That post credits scene leaves on a cliffhanger. And yeah, wonder what the hell they were going to do with space monkeys from earth, that would've been so interesting.

But yeah, I love that the show's able to stick to it's moral of always trying to help others and seeing the good in people, but it doesn't present an overly idealistic view either.

Yes, sometimes the entire galaxy gets destroyed, and there's nothing you can do about that.

But there's also the growth of new life, and also all the allies and friends you made along the way. As long as you're able to focus on the things that matter, you'll be able to get through anything life throws at you.

Wander over Yonder is just such a genuinely positive show. I love me some angsty characters and long drawn out narratives as much as anybody, but this felt like a breath of fresh air. It's not trying to be anything big, it's just trying to be something good, and at that it absolutely succeeds.

In a strange way, I'm grateful that it was cancelled mid-way through. Because it delivers that inch of closure needed, but also doesn't make it feel like an ending, because endings are quite upsetting.

Ah gosh I'm getting quite emotional over this lovely little cartoon. At least I can finally look at all the fan content without worrying over spoilers!

This Tumblr is probably gonna be full of improvised analysis(es? What's the plural?) and some fanart. I can't believe that this show isn't more popular. Then again, I've spent the past half-decade only knowing the show because of the Bad Guy song. Wander over Yonder was not at all what I expected, and if you haven't watched the show but are still for reason reading this even though I just spoiled the entire finale, then I definitely recommend you check it out! I think fandom consensus is that season 2 has most of the best episodes, but that by no means mean that season 1 isn't already top-tier shit.

Speaking of Bad Guy, that one quote from the Buddies song is just circling and circling in my head: "We gave it a go, put on a heck of a show, and did a lot of fun stuff we'll get to laugh about after." This show is also very good at summarizing itself.

Okay I've been pacing around in circles for a good fifteen minutes writing this now. I'm just gonna stop now or else I'll be here for the next hour.

Thanks Wander over Yonder and the crew very very much for existing and for all the love that went into this wonderful little toon. Check out Wander over Yonder. And that's all!

Wait I've just discovered you can change text colour. This is the best thing ever. Okay bye.

Only the finale left to go. The Flower was... Really depressing. Seeing Wander and Syl genuinely sad is heartbreaking. But at least it ended on a somewhat hopeful note.

The whatchamacallit robot episode was really neat too. I like how it subverts the epic robot fight trope to stick true to Wander's characterisation of being a pacifist.

Cannot tell if I like Dominator or not. Obviously I like her in meta terms because she's such a cool villain, but in-universe, idk usually in shows I don't feel this bad about the world being destroyed. But this world feels so well lived in and domestic, it feels like there's actually an impact to everything being destroyed.

Finale time? Finale time.
