So, Tablet, If You HAD To Pick, Who Would You Say Your Favorite Demon Underling Is?

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

Turpentine: Ms. Alphys, would you care to play a game of chess with me? I used to play it with Master Deskel, but he starts using battle strategy as an analogy and lectures me until I fall asleep. I'd like to have a game finished in one day, ehehehehe~!

*Alphys: Y-y-yes, I would l-l-like to!

“I made a Snow Bunny with some of the same features as a Frappenguin. I’m thinking its name should be Slushbunny. What do you guys think?”

((In the words of Medium, “I LIVE AND RULE AGAIN!!” Honestly, I hope to end up in game design some day. One of the biggest dreams I had was to get ahold of some way to mod Graffiti Kingdom. Unfortunately, PS2 game mods aren’t exactly “hip” anymore, and romhacking requires tools specifically built for the game. I have no idea where to begin with said tools. Oh well. At least I can still draw what I’d add.))

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

So. Aliens like beaches, apparently. ((Sorry I haven’t been very active recently. Had a lot of things come up, but I’m free now!!))

Datamined Boss Voice Clips

Some of these lines are 100% unused, as the bosses having lines after you lost to them was something that happened in the Japanese version, but was removed from the English version.

And some others are used, but are apparently exceedingly rare to trigger, such as Medium’s “This is the end of the line for you!” quote, that I only know IS used because I’d heard it on ONE single Let’s Play, and nowhere else before or since.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

EX-FREAKING-CUSE ME??????????????
