This is my blog

Here it is :)

You can call me Link, I'm 22 and my pronouns are he/they

This blog is sorta a mish mosh of things but stuff that mostly centres on art/creativity? Including-

My original writing

Paraportal stuff - things to do with my maladaptive daydreams, namely Faith, the main character

Whump stuff

Reblogs from fandoms I'm interested in

Books, films and literature (mostly Stephen King)

Music!

But mostly! Literary analysis

My main blog is @smol-grey-tea where I will talk about Nameless the One Thing You Must Recall (my favourite video game) and MaDD but I mostly just reblog stuff on there

Life Series Ideas That Have Probably Already Been Thought Of Before

A Cat's Life. Everyone has 9 lives and maybe they can jump higher or something and maybe creepers run away from them or something. But they have to sleep in the day time..? And....mobs also have 9 lives too? Idk I just like the name and the 9 lives mechanic, idc about anything else

BUT I do REALLY like the idea that mobs have multiple lives as well as the players. It'd be hard to implement but I just like the idea even if it only works in theory

A Quiet Life. No advancements, no player tags, no name tags period, no tab list, no locator bar, no chat notifications, nothing. If someone dies, you've got no way of knowing other than being there when it happens. You only know your own colour, makes it very easy to hide, easy to be a boogey, easy to be a red life. No advancements means no one knows if you've got diamonds/really powerful etc

I really like the idea for 2nd Life being that eliminated players still play as zombies, like when every eliminated player came back in the last 2 episodes of Wild Life. I like when you see the players as spectators or when Tango spoke a bit in Past Life after he died

Alternatively, multiple planes/dimensions, like Spidey Steve joked about here (https://youtu.be/ptHWd5Z2FM0)

I'd really love to see the quiet life one and cuz Grian said in one of the recent seasons "next season, no advancements", I have half an idea that this will happen.

Ok I'm so pissed right now. I've been hyperfocused on this game ALL DAY (/exaggerating-), and I've finally got up to the secret boss fight. I just fucking realised. That the piece of armour that would be really helpful for this fight. Needed to be fused. And I didn't. Fucking. Fuse it.

I didn't even believe it at first, cuz I REMEMBER going through and fusing all the possible things I could fuse at the start of the chapter. But after that, I must have done a couple of things, then exit the game and come back so I could see a couple of different results. And because I didn't save after fusing....it didn't. Save the fused items. So fucking. Great.

It's not even an issue of beating the boss cuz I restarted the whole chapter in the first place so that I could collect everything there is to collect. I wanted to be completionist 🥺 I like being completionist. This is the 2nd time I'm playing this chapter!!! You don't know how many times I've died!!! I'm NOT a pro gamer!!! I like it for the story and characters, I died to ORANGE way too many times!!! This takes me so long!!!

It just. Fucking sucks. Cuz the ONLY issue. Is that I can't just fuse the items while I'm in the dark world. Why is there a mechanic where I HAVE to go to Malius in the Castle Town? Why is it not just a thing I can do if I have the right materials? Cuz I DO have the materials!! And I've replayed the entire chapter along with the 4th yesterday so I could get the Gold Widow 😭😭😭😭 raaaaahhhh

It just fucking sucks. Like I guess I could just try and do the boss fight without the fused armour? But I have to emphasise this, I am not a pro gamer. This is difficult enough like this.

It sucks I'm probably going to have to replay the chapter again but look oh well it's not like I won't enjoy it I guess :/ it's a really good chapter and I do like it anyway. Oh well.

It just is gonna be so tedious doing it all for one thing that doesn't even have to be just a Castle Town thing. I wouldn't have to replay it all if I could just fuse things myself without Malius.

Ralsei and Susie REMIND you to do this in Deltarune Chapter 5

Such an interesting conversation. Do we take this to mean that Kris genuinely forgot, because Ralsei and Susie's reactions tend to tell us about how Kris thinks and feels about a situation? Cuz when this happened in my own play through, I selected the 2nd option cuz I did actually just prefer acting with them all, but from how they react to Kris saying this, it seems like they really did forget?

Which is quite interesting cuz in-game it's only been less than 24 hours since they were last in a dark world right? Kris doesn't experience time like us do they..?

Oh and I also wonder if you get this dialogue if you don't save and then come back to this conversation again. Does Kris remember that time? Frisk did in Undertale but I've yet to see any evidence of Kris remembering other saves. Don't see why they should be too different to each other tho

Every day, Whumpee is brought to a room with a bolted chair, a tray of tools, and a mirror.

They're tortured to a brutal degree. Whumpee screams, sobbing through the pain, “Why!? Why are you doing th-this? Just tell me what you w-want!”

Their captors never speak; whumpee's never even heard their voices. Sometimes, they grab their face and force them to look into the mirror bleeding, shaking, barely conscious.

Then the moment ends, and it starts all over again.

On the other side of the glass sits Caretaker, watching while unharmed and being questioned.

Every time they don’t have an answer, whumpee takes the hit.

as a writer you will have a specific deck of vocab words you like using a lot and when you read other peoples' work you will see a very clear spread of different vocab words on their end. this is why you need to read, to collect other writers' words like it's a card game

Who is that Deltarune YouTuber who's mascot is the vessel and they use a text to speech voice. I wanted to check to see if they've posted anything about the new chapter but I can't remember the name and I'm getting nowhere by searching "deltarune theory vessel" into YouTube

I Am A Cat - a short comic

This is a comic based on an actual event from my childhood that's been seared into my memory ever since.

[rareblackcat]

^^

The hatred that cats get is so unearned. I feel like most people don't like cats because they feel like non-human animals (especially ones considered pets) should just be submissive and have no boundaries what so ever.

[mousidy]

my honest feelings on AI are that humans are amazing and I don't really give a shit what a computer has to say

[mousidy]

a human makes art? it's a reflection of their experience living on this earth, the same one I live on. it's an invitation to understand how other people think

a computer makes art? well, ok? I don't give a shit. you live in computer world. you're ones and zeroes. your art could be an interesting reflection of that experience, except it's actually just a slurry of what humans have made.

AI can splort out things that are cool or funny or interesting or even thought-provoking, sure. but I can't pretend I give much more of a shit than that because I know the artist and it has no beliefs or convictions or experiences. who gives a fuck

[mousidy]

I feel cheated when I learn that a video I watched or a piece I read was plagiarized. the "author" didn't necessarily believe any of what they said so much as they just stole someone else's words.

I feel infinitely more cheated when I find out something I experienced was AI generated. cool, so not only did the "author" not believe what they said or what their "art" represents, nobody does.

I'm not even trying to make a moral argument against AI or whatever I'm just trying to express how I feel. I do not care what the computer has to say. I care a negative amount. do not show me what the computer has to say and pretend it can matter as much as what humans have to say

Kinda odd pattern I've noticed in the targets the knight tried/successfully kidnapped

They're all in the main undertale cast

Asgore, Toriel and Undyne

We haven't seen enough people get kidnapped but if next chapter they take alphys or sans that would probably make this an actual pattern

Could this be why we haven't seen papyrus at all? Has he already been kidnapped?? I don't know!!

[orteil42]

it's heinous how much my productivity has suffered since i've discovered "just chilling & having a nice time"

[butcherb1rd]

okay so i’m really bad at the “game” part of deltarune and its making me so extremely frustrated. it’s been 40 minutes and i’m only 1/3 of the way through flowery’s fight. i know people think easy mode is stupid to put into a game with specific/intended gameplay but i would like that please. i’m so frustrated and just not having fun anymore. not to say the game isn’t good, because it is, but goddamn someone put me out of my misery

[butcherb1rd]

the best way to do an easy mode (during combat) for deltarune would probably be:

less bullets and obstacles

bullets move slower

not needing to tap a certain button in order to perform an action (ie: dashing or shooting)

bullets and obstacles do less damage (this would be the best imo)

i love this game and i think the combat system is good for most people, but i am not most people :(

[seventeendeer]

anyway I didn't want to put this in my more level-headed post because it is an incredibly vibes-only theory, BUT !

I was thinking about Asgore's backstory and how he recounted it to Kris in chapter 5. like something happened that the Dreemurr family knows about, but no one else truly believes. something that's symbolized by a big, violent red smear on the screen with a nasty sound effect.

it's been somewhat taken for granted in the fandom that Asgore was fired from the force because he was blamed for Dess' disappearance somehow, but if Dess disappeared, then why is his backstory recounted like someone was injured ..?

again, completely vibes-based, but what if there's someone else in the margins of this story that no one wants to talk about? I binged chapter 5 all in one go, so I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall finding a photo somewhere early on where a young Kris is sitting in "someone's" lap, but it's pointedly not specified who this person is. I tried to go back and check if it was in the photo albums upstairs at home, but I couldn't find it there, unsure where else to look for it

anyway I'm not necessarily saying the Dreemurrs had a third child that something happened to a long time ago that no one wants to talk about, but I will point out that that was actually exactly how the narrative carefully wrote around Chara's existence for most of Undertale. and that we still don't know exactly why Kris looks like Frisk, or why they have so many personality traits in common with Chara. I feel like a dead sibling would probably make bigger waves in the narrative, judging by how Dess' disappearance is treated, but there are a lot of variables (could be someone who wasn't a sibling? could be a sibling who didn't strictly speaking die or fully disappear? etc etc) ... I think I see some puzzle pieces in the mud here but it might be my imagination

[lliinnkk]

Yes, the "someone" comment really stuck out to me!!! The flavour text this chapter really felt like Kris talking to the player, so this would be Kris intentionally calling them "someone" instead of naming them?

But the refusal to put a name or any specifics to what got Asgore fired really makes me think that the "someone" was the Forgotten Man/the egg guy. Really calls back to the goners in Undertale talking about a world where everything continues as normal but you just don't exist

It seems more and more likely that this incident isn't just being verbally tiptoed around, but that it's something the characters just straight up can't remember, so they have to talk about it so vaguely because they don't even remember the specifics themselves

[vampirefutanari]

Just because I'm a vampire, doesn't mean I've forgotten my knightly vows. I am still loyal, chivalrous, and brave. You can trust me. e-even if my urges sometimes...overtake m--stop pulling on my lips to look at my fangs

[spiribia]

the conversation was pleasant enough and we both had a nice chuckle but i saw you reload a save right before it. what did you do to me? what did you do?
