I wanted to apologize on behalf of a friend of mine, the “roleplay” blog you had a disagreement with. I wanted to let you know that he doesnt run a roleplay blog, he’s fictionkin so he quite literally was The Lamb in a past life so that’s part of why he had gotten so heated. I’m fully aware it isn’t an excuse and in no way am I condoning his actions, in fact I quite largely disagree with the way he acted towards you.
I hope you’re doing well and that your holiday, if you celebrate one today, was well and good regardless of the interaction. Have a wonderful timezone.
No worries! I was honestly just worried I might have seriously upset him. I hope you have a happy holiday season.
put spikes on your wheelchair's handles. wrap barbed wire around your cane or crutch so it'll hurt like a motherfucker if someone kicks or grabs it from under your hand. wear a personal alarm and pull the pin every time someone moves you without your consent, leans on your chair, takes a seat on your rollator, taps your hearing aid, steals your AAC device. scream for help when you're abducted. wail like you're in agony when people trip you up or knock into you. take pepper spray to the grocery store. take a knife to the club. leave cards that say "fuck you" under the wipers of inconsiderately parked cars and scratch access codes for bathrooms on the outside of the door. we are not begging for mercy, we're fighting dirty. we have to.
Bro, I wanna talk about the implications of Kirby Mass Attack so bad... I will go down with the take that it's the darkest Kirby game of all time; a MINIMUM of 45 Kirbys end up dead and lore implications (like the cycle of matter/mitosis) make it so much worse! 😭
Imagine, as a child, having to guide/care for infant versions of yourself that can barely defend themselves and at least 45 of them end up dying.
This shit was so bad the ending had Kirby actually do some self reflection. Straight up looking out at the void of space and acknowledging that darkness had to exist IN NARRATIVE TEXT!
Kirby may not be phased by too much at his current age, but oh my god the stuff he's gonna have to reflect on when he's older...
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.
today in "google AI is fucking useless because it hallucinates things that never happened", i bought a couple CVS thermometers that have both been acting up, tried to search if there had been a problem with the whole product line:
there is no record of this product recall. it did not happen. the date "feb 8 2024" is the date someone listed a thermometer for sale on ebay.
Writing metas backstory for me just involves so many moments where Meta Knight has several moral dilemmas on being a Dad
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...
Nnrgh- I love your art so much- it's so goofy
