Here’s a question for all of you. How old are you? Just curious is all.

I made a small and kinda inaccurate chart a while back that mentions the human's ages. Please take it with a grain of salt though. I messed up big time with the sizing... As for Kris' classmates, they're probably around Kris' age.

can you elaborate on the wander having ptsd thing? not disagreeing with you i'm just interested

wander's past is only handwaved to throughout the show, but we know from the episode "the wanders" that wander's desire to help people stems from some ambiguous childhood trauma that caused him to "know what it is to be helpless"

we didn't get to find out the specific details about wander's life before the show ended but there are a handful of things that seem to "trigger" him-- or set him off-- that specifically being when he isn't able to help someone, or when his plan to help someone gets disrupted in any way. he tends to panic or get very anxious on the drop of a dime, and semi-frequently will pluck his hair out or hyperventilate or when something suddenly goes wrong... ptsd and panic attacks often go hand in hand, after all

dr screwball jones seems to be an interesting case because he is one of the only villains that wander is genuinely afraid of, you can see him get nervous when screwball gets too close, and the entire episode revolves around this batman-esque persona wander throws on to defeat him... this is speculation on my part but i've always seen this as a sort of coping mechanism, considering its only triggered by the few episodes screwball shows up in

anyway-- sylvia tends to calm wander down when he's in this state, putting on a gentle voice and holding him and generally grounding him back in reality, its very sweet and also shows that sylvia is familiar with wander's attacks and knows how to deal with them

we know that wander was traumatized by being helpless, and we know that the thought of being helpless causes wander to freak out. even if the word "ptsd" is not directly said in the show.. wander is a canon ptsd king

sometimes the helpers need help too...

Welp, clearing out my askbox has once again made me realize I'm procrastinating on my fic! Great!

No idea when it's gonna be finished and I need to stop making promises that it will be, but I might as well work on it now...

So the Kirby wiki is advertising their list of misconceptions page, which addresses a lot of widespread commonly held beliefs about the Kirby series which are all untrue. Such as "Kirby can fucking talk" and "Kirby doesn't say Poyo" ect. The Kirby wiki is very well written and researched and sourced and articulated in general and this page is a delightful headlined addition.

People have been responding to this by saying "WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SONIC!" which is true, the problem with that being that the only Sonic wiki is Fandom slop and there isn't an independent fan wiki for Sonic like there is for Kirby. But yes, Sonic would definitely benefit from a misconceptions page. However it would not solve all the problems with misconceptions about Sonic. Because sadly, a good chunk of the perpetuated misconceptions about Sonic are not the result of ignorance, but deliberate malice. Some people are, in fact, spreading what they know to be misconceptions about Sonic ON PURPOSE out of spite.

For example, a Sonic Misconceptions page explaining that it isn't and has never been called "Mobius" in the games wouldn't cut down on people calling it "Mobius" and its inhabitants "Mobians." Because the problem is at least half the people calling it "mobius" KNOW that it ISN'T "mobius", but they insist on calling it that anyway because they hate the video games.

"Oh they don't hate the video games just because they prefer the comicsblahblahblah"

yes they do

and I'm tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt

They DON'T actually enjoy the comics at all. They JUST hate the video games.

Know how I know?

Because they are INCAPABLE of saying a SINGLE positive thing about the comics WHATSOEVER without bringing up how shit they think the games are.

If they "just" enjoyed the comics, they shouldn't have to mention the existence of the games AT ALL.

But they don't, and can't, ever JUST say what they like about the comics. They ALWAYS make snide remarks at best against the video games, if not base the entire foundation of their espoused enjoyment for the comics off of asserting how much "better" they are than the games.

So no. They do not call it Mobius because they prefer the comics.

They call it mobius because they HATE the video games.

50% of the people calling it mobius do so BECAUSE they HATE the video games

the other half have heard the lie told 1000 times and assume it to be truth.

A misconceptions page about Sonic wouldn't be an instant fix, because the fact of the matter is the enemies are inside the gates. And frankly, I fear such a page would simply become a editing war waged by people trying to exploit its existence to PERPETUATE misconceptions.

nothing more annoying than people who brush off basil's act of hanging mari by saying "well, he was just trying to protect sunny! he was being so selfless!" first of all, impact absolutely eclipses intent in this situation. second of all, basil's motivation is clearly at least somewhat selfish? above all else, he wants to keep his best friend, and his concern for the well-being of said best friend is secondary.

just look at this dialogue. of course basil loves and cares about sunny a lot, but when he gets desperate—as he is here, and as he presumably was when he hung mari—he isn't acting with sunny's best interests in mind. he's primarily concerned with what sunny can do for him.

What's your stance on Chara's current whereabouts? Do you think they've moved on or that they're still around post-freedom?

I personally feel like they're still around because I think it'd be weird for Flowey to talk so openly with someone during the analog clock dialogue... Also the "narrator" text appears a few times throughout the recent newsletters, and I subscribe to the narrahara theory.

I don't really know who the characters are addressing in either of those but I do think it'd make sense for Chara to be prevalent.

Really interested to hear your thoughts!

i think chara is the diegetic "role" the player plays in undertale's story (with caveats for the no mercy route, which is implied to metanarratively rip us and chara apart at the seams by maxxing out the LV mechanic), so really the answer depends on whether or not you've personally stopped replaying the game. optimally, i think that chara should be put to rest in a playthrough that ends on true pacifist. but of course it's fun to imagine what they would do/how they would interact if they were present after their death, just as flowey was.

as for narrachara, i subscribe to it in the sense that there are lines of narration in the game that are clearly heavily influenced by their memories or outright stated by them, but i don't think it's them outright narrating every line. moreso, the flavor text is meant to roughly reflect the way they react to the environment, because it's how we, the player, are encouraged to react to it as well. once again, it's a blurring of chara's and our pov.

i don't think the newsletter narration is chara. nor do i think the extra-canonical dialogue from flowey from the 5th anniversary would be directed at chara. sure, he's open, but it's nowhere close to the tone and implied tension he has when he talks to "us"/chara after the pacifist ending.

also how would a disembodied spirit be capable of (not) buying him a red bike with a golden basket. i think the implication here is that either flowey is either speaking to frisk, or it's not something we should interpret diegetically.
