Are you trying to have it so only your subordinates, enemies, and your boss see your posts? If so, there's options for that. You don't need to put your soapbox in the town square so people can set up tomato stands if you don't want to. :)

also thanking the ratatouille Remy cosplayer after me - I was first in the schedule and i was really nervous but they gave me some encouragement. We all need a hug from a big rat i think
Holy shit unfollowing a bunch of people actually fixed it a bit. I REALLY like and wanna keep up with some of them but I'll just do it at my own pace now.
Man, I hate how political this site is sometimes. I kinda find myself pushing like for anything that sounds convincing enough these days and I know I need to stop. I can actually feel myself being swayed by everything I see with how low my self esteem is.
I can't donate to anyone right now and I'm already hearing about world events all the time. This isn't healthy for me or anyone else... It's normal to not know everything and take a BREAK sometimes. It doesn't make you a bad person.
I don't know man, I just wanna see and post art.

Made an oc maker challenge for rw community! Inspired by @shimmeringembers & @thenalanita-art ♡
Have fun!
I have finished the Watcher campaign and I now yearn to play with some of the new creatures in my silly little arena.
...What do you mean you can't play safari mode with the new regions?
What do you MEAN you can't unlock creature spawns at the end of the campaign?!?
WHAT DO MEAN BEAST MASTER DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE?!?? (currently, no rush tho)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE DEV CONSOLE MOD- oh wait ppl are saying that works. Huh.
Test arena too? Maybe this'll work out after all!
It's definitely gonna take time for mod makers to adjust to all the extra code that was added and I'm completely fine with that!
Will update you guys on my progress tho...
The final stage of every OC's creation is having to go through websites like this to name it:
hey what about that one interview where it was revealed that galacta knight was in fact the only canonical character in the series? 🤨
do you mean this one or this one ? or perhaps this one?
forgotten kirby facts 181 - kumazaki has recently confirmed magolor is meant to be read as closeted transgender, since she's an egg, at the drop of the news she's actually a girl, she's now become a more controversial character than susie was.

So I'm stuck in Outer Rim purgatory right now and I know there's somewhere I'm supposed to go but I have no idea where TF it is
I've already done the flower room in The Throne and I'm pretty sure I'm at "Karma" 6, I kinda just need to know where to teleport.
Here's my current location:
I've been through the majority of Outer Rim, including the hellish journey through the path of floating platforms. I've actually somehow managed to do a full circle.
Please help me get out of here... All the food here tastes terrible and I just wanna continue my journey with as little spoilers as possible.
Why TF did they think their "find out on your own" style of gameplay would work in a teleportation maze 😭
I feel like I should clarify that yes, I'm aware the relationship from clinical trial is toxic and unrealistic. I've also been made aware that the game kinda just follows a shipping dynamic that the dev likes and that the pair is romanticized outside of the game on their social media.
However, I still like this relationship because the game itself does not justify any of the actions committed, it is an interesting character dynamic, and the two do genuinely care about each other. The first ending isn't triumphant and the second ending isn't perfect, even if it does seem romanticized by its creator.
I would never, ever approve of this stuff in real life; it's just interesting to try and see them try to make things work in fiction! Character studying is fun :)

Defending Ending 2
Okay I've seen a lot of discourse around the "True Ending" of Clinical Trial and I just wanted to give my take on it. Spoilers under the cut
I know a lot of people didn't like Ending 2's light and happier tone and it being the True Ending and felt like it absolved Lee of any consequences and just put Angel in a dangerous shitty position, isolated with a murderer and argue that it goes against the whole point of the game… But I just really don't view it like that. To me, Ending 2 reinforces some of the game's central themes surrounding consent, neurodivergency and societal neglect.
While I do think Lee can be manipulative (ESPECIALLY in the Reject route) and consistently hides things from Angel, I do think the Accept route that leads into Ending 2/the True Ending is a product of Angel's own anatomy as much as Ending 1 is. While Angel chooses to forgive him initally for the shrine thing, they don't dismiss or downplay what he did either. While they do display some unhealthy thought patterns (the idea that they never thought someone would ever pay so much attention to them <- which is a belief absolutely fueled by self hatred) that could contribute to their forgiveness, they don't let that blind them from the inherent fucked upness of what Lee's done. This isn't a "Wow, you did nothing wrong. Let's date!" situation. It's a "You fucked up and you hurt me but I'm willing to give you another chance, if you change for the better" situation.
Same thing with the revelation of the murder. Angel does not downplay how upset they are to appease him. Even when they acknowledge Lee killing Brandon probably prevented him from harming future victims as he's a repeated offender who likely wouldn't stop, Angel still acknowledge that Lee didn't know that when he killed him. Angel is consistently able to voice their grievances with him and call him out on the wrongness of his actions, which is why I feel pretty comfortable stating that Lee and Angel's relationship, no matter how fucked up, toxic or unhealthy, is not an abusive one because Angel is always able to voice their issues with him and he is more than willing to listen.
The player, and by extension, Angel is also explicitly given the choice on whether or not to forgive him with both revelations (I especially like that Angel's given the choice to basically back out of the relationship, even after they accept the shrine thing, after the murder reveal), highlighting their agency. Yes, you can absolutely argue that Angel's decision to forgive Lee twice is likely influenced by their loneliness and need for connection and that does make their relationship a bit unhealthy (and interesting/hj) but again I don't think it's abusive.
I also want to point out that even if the Accept route, Angel gives Lee conditions. They don't just accept him willy-nilly. They want him to actually listen to them.
I think that Angel's ultimate decision to forgive Lee isn't just to date him, it's to give him another chance at becoming a better, more rounded person. A large part of the whole game is about how society (the education system and the medical system) tends to fail neurodivergent people, especially those most in need of help. Angel and Lee literally bond over their different experiences of neurodivergency (or implied neurodivergency on Lee's end) and how ultimately society failed both of them (with neither of them managing to succeed in ways they wanted because the system wasn't built for people like them).
There's also the prevalent mentions and implications of past punishments that we can observe through some of Lee's dialogue. He's canonically an ex Mormon, who was probably consistently punished (and abused) for any wrongdoing (some of which we can assume could come down to traits of his neurodivergency as it's not too uncommon for autistic children to get misunderstood and mistreated). Similarly, we know that Angel was put some level of physical abuse and mistreatment by their school in an attempt to "correct" their left handedness and even then it's implied that's only one example of them being abused by the education system.
Both Lee and Angel know what it's like to be punished and hurt after displaying a 'weakness' or a mistake. They've both been hurt by the notion that punishment is necessary to improve a person, which is why I find the Accept route so powerful. I've seen a lot of people complain that Lee doesn't go to jail or face "tangible" consequences but the way I see it, prison would make him worse and remove any chance he has of healing. While fucked up, illegal and his fault, his actions are still partially a product of his upbringing and the lack of support and therapy for him. He specifically mentions that he never went to therapy so he could get his job. Lee is partially the product of an unaccomodating society as much as Angel is. (Also I could go on for hours about how his Mormon upbringing probably skewed his entire view on how relationships are supposed to function and probably made him think love has to be in the form of devotion)
The way I interpreted it. Angel wasn't coerced into staying with a dangerous, harmful person. Angel sees parts of themselves in Lee and is giving Lee a chance neither of them were ever given in a life. They're creating a new life together where mistakes and fuck ups aren't instantly met with punishment or harm. Yes, Lee fucked up horrendously, violating their trust and ignored their wishes but they're both willing to acknowledge that and work on it because maybe for once, one of them's allowed to fucked up without facing an abusive 'punishment' afterwards. Maybe for once, one of them's allowed to fuck up and be given room to grow and improve. And maybe for once, Angel gets to choose how they want their life to go.
No, most people probably wouldn't have made the same choices as Angel but its still their decision to make. Yes, it's likely influenced by their pre existing loneliness and trauma. Yes, Lee would have to put a lot of work in to change himself and that will take time and there's likely some unhealthy beliefs he'll always struggle with. Yes, Lee and Angel's relationship is far from conventional or completely healthy, but fuck man, I think they're giving eachother room to figure it out together and idk, there's something beautiful about that to me.
They're both very mentally ill but they're trying and there's something about that that I find oddly comforting. Most media with the yandere trope never really provide the option for the yandere character to actually try to reflect on their actions and maybe learn better ways to cope and honestly I was so sure that both endings would involve someone dying in some way because these types of stories don't tend to go well. Usually, after a certain point, a character's just framed as "too" far gone, "too" mentally ill, "too" fucked up and beyond saving and they usually die a tragic or poetic death (i.e like Ending 1). But Angel looks at Lee and his actions and decides fuck it and to say no to that. They make the choice to give Lee another chance any way after what he's done because they don't see him as irredeemable. I just really like the way they both get to live in the end and make a better life together and what that says about neurodivergent and mentally ill people.
I need help: does anyone know what to do to move the coral bugs out of the way? Ik they do that shit on purpose bro I just don't know what to do about it 😭
I'm only up to the beginning of the coral area so blease keep spoilers to a minimum 🙏
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.
After I was shattered, you went to gather as much of me as you could. You searched for a part of me in all the little things that you cherished, all of the people who needed you, every drop at the bottom of a bottle. You looked for the best in others to find a piece of me.
You have found more of myself in others than I will ever be; I won't bother you with what little I have left.

Kirby? Buddy? I’m responding to that ask about Meta being holed up in his room.
You mean you WON’T bust the door down or you CAN’T bust it down? Cause we both know you can.
