See, how Ink is able to drink every color of the rainbow, Blueprint is stuck drinking only 1 color, specifically his Prussian Blue, to continue living (i call it his life juice).
also unlike ink though, blueprint HATES (as much as he can without feeling) the taste of ink, its like that nasty syrup cough medicine to him and he drinks it because if he doesnāt heāll āburn outā and lifelessly collapse onto the ground.
Uhh doesnāt cannon print not have a soul? Or is your print a different version of him??? Also Underverse ink isnāt a bad guy. Jakie has stated that. He is neutral!/nm
Youāre right, Canon!Print was born without a soul. However, due to Swap!Undyneās ingenuity, they created him an artificial soul using his prussian ink and determination, granting him the save-point looking star soul he has in canon!
However, I dislike that he could have just been āgivenā a soul that operates the same way any other soul (and begs the question of why Flowey/Temmie or Ink himself did not get the same treatment). I think itās a missed opportunity to write away the potential struggles he could have as someone who is completely soulless like Ink in a different way that doesnāt make him a copy of Ink. I wouldāve preferred it best if there were any hint of his soul not functioning on par with other monster souls (besides his inability to use a significant amount of magic, i mean something that you can tell by the way he acts).
Not to say my Blueprint isnt very different from canon, mine is a child of FruitPunch (polyamorous star sanses), and is twin brothers with Palette (which is important for reasons i cant explain yet š) , Iām definitely not rewriting him in the same scenario, living situation, and SOUL prosthesis that characterizes who Canon!Print is. Honestly, with all my rewrites, I never really classify them as the same character anymore, but Iām really attached to him still being a Blueprint because of his power-set, and the reason I changed anything at all was because of his SOUL situation.
Can I ask why you didnāt include Printās social anxiety in your remake? Heās genuinely good representation and it kinda hurts to see people erase it/nm/gen
As someone with social anxiety (dear god), I do feel that itās important to have representation like that too. I guess when I saw Blueprint, I saw missed potential for what soullessness could represent for myself, rather than social anxiety? To me, it was a really missed opportunity giving Blueprint a fake soul, because it removes a lot of potential for the struggles Blueprint could have that Ink doesnāt have (that I struggle with too!). I felt like Blueprint was in a unique position to have a different set of struggles because of a condition that was looked over canonically, and I wanted to write those potential struggles head on!
I wouldnāt say Iāve removed his social anxiety, but without a soul, he is highly unable to experience what he could in canon, and Iāve dubbed the version of him that was born with a soul, āSoul!Printā!
Social anxiety representation is important, but I felt like my take on Blueprint represents a lot of things I havent seen in this fandom or anywhere for that matter! And while he isnāt anxious about his social life, he does struggle socially because of his overall demeanor.
I do want to save a lot for AFP, (Shameless plug, weāre still working on that! it might be coming out soon š Follow us at @ask-fruit-punch and also donāt look at the pinned post my old sketches are abysmal)
but what I can say is Blueprint is NOT another evil soulless character like Underverseās representation of Ink, but a true and pure neutral version of a child learning the intricacies of a world he is unable to experience.
OH MY GOD HEāS SO CUTE MY LIFE IS OVER OH MY GOD HIS GOOFY BIG SMILE AND HIS CUTE LITTLE STAR EYES OH MY GOD OH MY GOD dude i SCREAMED SEEING THIS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GODDDDDDD HEāS SO OOOOOO CUTE HEāS PRECIOUS EVEN OH MY GOOODDDD i hope his little chocolate is delicious š„¹
oh my god the way you colored the first one makes me think of like dust as an error and thats such a cool concept to me but ANYWAYS I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW DUST OH MY GOD boy is so lonely get boy some friends (that arent in his head)
no because i think this is super underutilized why cant i have a hoard of blues coexisting why is this only ever expanded upon for the fanon/canon underswap debate why isnt there cpau blue or ask error blue/blueberror or the hundreds of other interpretations of this one guy and even beyond them i would kill for the various interpretations of the dreamtale twins to talk to eachother and all the inks and beyond like ššš
hi hello rant time feel free to ignore this iām just going to explode and itās not the end of the world
the amount of times iāve seen people go off on someone for stating canon facts about media, and they say āoh thatās not true! whereās the source! grrr! youāre pulling that out of your ass!ā
and then immediately be like āi havenāt really read the canon āļøā
ā¦AND IT SHOWS.
yāall listen. i love canon and fanon interpretations. itās a playground and itās free space and donāt let canon puritans ruin the fun.
THAT SAID. CAN WE. NOT. pretend we know the canon of something if itās blatantly being ignored?
i was just reading a post where this was happening, this specifically happens a lot with dreamtale (WHICH FAIR ITS CONFUSING) but for the love
pls pls pls pls donāt say something is wrong and fake and made up when you donāt know the canon?
JUST READ THE CANON. OR DONT, AND BE OK WITH SAYING YOU DONT K N O W THE CANON
you donāt HAVE to know it but YOU CANT PRETEND TO BE INFORMED THEN
donāt call a story bad that you havenāt read yet, donāt label a character as shallow if youāve never explored them!
iām kinda a āknow the rules to break the rulesā person when it comes to fandom spaces, but i digress, and i re state that if the canon doesnāt interest you thatās fine. ITS FINE. IM FAMILIAR WITH MOST OF THE CANON STORIES (to me knowledgešš) AND SOMETIMES I CHOOSE TO MAKE THE CHARACTERS FANONIZED BCS ITS F U N
THATS NORMAL.
but i hope that someday iāll see more respect for the place original works will always have even amongst all of the fun and PERFECTLY VALID fanon content š like the canon creators making that media is the reason we have the characters, itās a peeve when people try to ādo it betterā instead of just āhave fun with a new interpretation ā (this happens with character designs and art a lot as well)
hating on fanon content is cringe
being disrespectful to canon content is also cringe
and the MOST CRINGE THING I SEE SO OFTEN
is people who say they only respect the canon, or hate on and shit on fanon content, only to turn around and CLEARLY KNOW NOTHINGGGGG ABOUT THE ACTUAL CANON THEY ARE āSO AWARE OFā
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*screams so loud and dances seductively*
like yes good sir. mr nightmare sans from dreamtale WAS essentially possessed by a corrupted human man.
yes good sir. this is on more then just a wiki this is actually canon
this is canon. itās an integral part to their entire story. i will literally write it all out for you if you so desire, but instead your gonna try to ridicule this random person in your comments mentioning it
unless it gets changed in the future that is an example of a canon truth, itās fine to not know, BUT DONT. PRETEND YOU KNOW.
like i know not everyone has done lore digging but pls i can tell youāve based your ācanon takeā off of tht one shitty stolen art dreamtale video weāve all seen (pls for the love of god if you know what iām referring to donāt use that as an up to date canon source iāll cry so hard) just go ahead and say you donāt know the whole canon
jus accept your interpretation will always be fanon ALSO (again which is fine???) unless you KNOW a general amount of knowledge about the canon!?!???!!? itās not that DEEP EUEUEUEU
again thatās just a minor example of this happening so often everywhereeeeš«š«
someone will critique and hate and call a narrative 100% trash and then turn and say itās ānot their thing so they never read itā
OK? THEN DONT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVENT READ
you can choose to like or dislike smth sure but donāt be so convinced you know something youāve never looked at. donāt think you can judge an entire book off of the cover just say whether or not you liked the cover
how would you feel if your favorite movie in the world , the one you have so many intense deep feelings and thoughts on, was trashed and hated on by some critic who watched the first five mins???? and then they went off on you abt how ass your take is on this movie youāve completed and they havenāt given a second thought? they are gonna tell YOU what you arenāt and are allowed to get out of the movie??? HUH???
anyways. seeing that post ate at my guts bcs it was so mean to the other person and outlandishly WILD in so many ways and iām not specifying who or why bcs that would be immature and dramatic imo
IF YOU READ THIS, 1. WHY, 2. LOOK AWAY FROK YOUR DEVICE FOR A SECOND AND REMEMBER THAT THIS ISUNIMPORTANT and just some rando fandom mutt whoās crying about hate culture and itās not that deep at the end of the day :)))
drink water and remember itās ok to not know things and that itās not bad to ACKNOWLEDGE THATš
iāve gone on a lore deep dive for so many aus that so much content i see being drawn leaves me like scrunching my nose because theres so many claims of canon and fanon and as a blueberry fanatic i think it hurts the most because the canon/fanon debate is so strong everyoneās a wimp to actually explore his character in the multiverse
at the point weāre at heās been cross 2 which is NOT MY BLUEBERRY SANS and it wouldnāt infuriate me so if he wasnt EVERYWHERE
i read the entirety of the ask dusttale blog and iām all caught up on whats posted in horrortale publicly and those characters are ssoo poorly written in a multiverse context too (dust would canonically never join nightmare unless he was forced, horror is more of a good guy in his timeline?? and heās also never eaten a human EVER????) but whats MILDLY forgiveable about that is that there isnt a legion of hypocrites screaming ITS MURDER NOT DUST and call you cringe for calling him otherwise
there probably is but ggod damnit i just wanna see my homeboy underswap sans named blueberry not be seen as a sin against god, iām tired of people saying this is how canonical blue would act
i read the underswap masterpost google doc, iām pretty sure thats where the original us lore is that everyone refers to and if iām wrong please correct me! iāll read whatever source i need to
but even classic canon undertale isnt a stick in the mud the way ācanonā blueberry is. and i dont get why he acts so tired in a multiverse setting. heās a roleswap. even if you disagree the personalities shouldnāt be switched he still takes the role of papyrus and both sans and papyrusās personality are goofy fun loving guys, i dont get how we got to the point ācanonā underswap is right now. sans doesnt hate jokes and papyrus makes his own too so why is āswap sansā a complete hater to ink and dreamās antics?? is he not a force of chaos on his own??
he is a flavorless character in so many ways and people only give him nuance when they wanna make the star sanses split up and that BOTHERS ME SO MUCH. WHY IS THERE NO GOOD REP OF THE STARS
and i say this as someone who is in love with the character representations that are NOT CANON to underswap, like cpau and ask error. why is everyone a coward to use those??? it makes me sadā¦ i feel likee underverse came and everyone started screaming about ink being evil and dream was villainized too and blue is just
dead to the multiverse literally and figuratively.
it really messes with me that no one seems to use blueberry like this anymoreā¦ heās such a nuanced character but the current mentality is āheās underswap SANS and has a stick up his assā
he should be a silly little guy with a whole heap of abandonment issues trying to be everyones friend despite all the trauma, i dont care that its technically blueberror, make error throw him out of the antivoid before its too late for blue. idk. anythings better than the current interpretation blue has iāve been here for a while and old uwu blue was better than stick in the mud blue whoās never had fun in his life
isnt he meant to be a papyrus?? why does fanon blue act so tired and grouchy :/
