I Need A Bit Of Rage.

Any reason you can give me as long as it moves me.

[notexactlycoping]

I’m completely powerless for 19 years, then suddenly I’m supposed to have autonomy and know what to do with it? Sorry, my only skills are sitting really quietly pretending I don’t exist, taking any treatment without getting mad because I don’t know where the line of “not okay” should be drawn, and spontaneously crying.

Hot take: people who argue that saying “mood,” “same,” “F,” “oh worm?” etc. add nothing to a conversation don’t realize that they function the same way as aizuchi, i.e. signalling that you’re still paying attention to what the speaker is saying, which is harder to do when you can’t see the other person.  In this essay, I will

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)

Modern Author’s Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etc–talking to reader, essentially.

Author’s Note on FFN back in 2010: 

Author: Y’all are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much

Character:…wh–what’s gonna happen?

Author: Don’t worry about it! ^.^

Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

Author: ;)

Character: D:

those were dark, dark days, man. Today’s Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this.

This when right alongside the detailed disclaimers to avoid lawsuits.

Don’t forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, ‘Inside Out’ style.

there is not a character in fiction I have identified with as much as Pickle Inspector

[pintoras]

“Imagine a woman in the long skirts and high collar of the early 20th century standing in front of the painting she created. It is a massive piece—about 10 feet tall by 8 feet wide—and it is not a landscape, a portrait, a still life, nor a scene from myth or history. Dominating the composition is a bold yellow form reminiscent of a plant or sea creature, glowing amid colorful, biomorphic shapes and vigorous lines. This is just one of 10 such works that she has created almost entirely alone—sometimes walking on her work as she lays down the paint—and one of 193 radically abstract paintings that she has made in a few short years, between 1906 and 1915. None of these details fit with the story told in museums and art history courses. We know the first abstract painters so well that we often refer to them by last names alone: Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian. We know who is celebrated for doing “action painting” on giant canvases laid on the floor—Pollock. Each of these men has been lauded for opening a way into new territory. As it turns out, that territory had already been explored by another artist. Her name was Hilma af Klint.”

THE FUCK

I just finished reading problem sleuth earlier, and I must say, Pickle Inspector speaks to me on a spiritual level.

[just-shower-thoughts]

people who often say sorry even when it’s not their fault or it’s not in their control probably do it because when they were younger they were often blamed for things that weren’t their fault or weren’t in their control

Hey tumblr,

Is it normal to cry when someone is nice to you? Or is that like...a sign of abuse?

those are some killer moves!

[comradesaucegay]

every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself

so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead

now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here

the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family

eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again

and so it begins..

Asking a depressed person why they are depressed when life is so beautiful is like asking an asthma patient why they have asthma when there is so much air

[sarcasmprodigy]

Won’t be needing THAT anymore.

is headcanoning kris as mute valid? because it is now. ralsei talking for them to enemies, susie not letting them answer because she might not know what the sign language means, a lot of questions being yes or no so they can just move their head, spontaneous staring into the camera like its The Office

[maidenmars]

I fully accept this headcanon.

DELTARUNE SPOILERS: THEORY

guys

I just realized something about Deltarune

ok ok ok so

we know that Chara’s soul was powering the Core in Undertale, right?

yeah there they are

well. at the end of a Genocide route, Chara wants Frisk’s soul because they can’t access their own – it’s still stuck there in the Core.  but at the end of a PACIFIST ROUTE, Chara stays inside the Core instead of possessing Frisk, where we see their soul in person.

and when the monsters leave the Underground… the Core is shut down.

What happened to the last person who was in the Core when things went screwy?

I think Chara was slorped into the closing of the Core and shotputted into an alternate reality, similarly to Gaster… and that alternate reality is where we are NOW, in DELTARUNE.

When we reach the end of the Dark World, remember that column of light?  Susie says she thinks we’ve stumbled onto something really important… and Kris’s soul feels like it’s glowing.  I think Chara’s soul injected itself into Kris then and there.

this explains why “Kris” tears out their soul and shoves it in a birdcage.  CHARA DOESN’T NEED IT.  CHARA BROUGHT THEIR OWN.

Chara is now piloting Kris around like a friggin Gundam.

but now?  now we have Kris’s soul without a body, trapped in a cage.  And we know Kris is still in control of it, because Kris can move it around even after being stuck in that cage.

Kris’s soul needs a new body if it’s gonna stop Kris’s body from being used by Chara for who knows what nefarious deeds.

Didn’t we… MAKE a body earlier?  One that was apparently discarded, since our choices don’t matter?

Who else has told us that we don’t have a choice in the matter… but Chara, at the end of a Genocide run?

EDIT: ALSO this characterizes the voice at the beginning, during the “survey.”  The track that plays throughout that is a remix of Gaster’s theme, and it’s titled “ANOTHER HIM.”

I’m like 80% sure this is Gaster, and that Gaster will be helping Kris from behind the scenes throughout this story…

ALSO ALSO.  As pointed out by @ectoimp, RALSEI IS SUSPICIOUS AS HECK.  Weren’t you supposed to CLOSE that fountain?  He just led you there with a convenient-sounding story… and what happened once you reached it….?
