Fully delete? Or maybe you could just archive the blog? I'd love to be able to read through this blog when I'm feeling down!

((i dont really want to be selfish but i, personally, feel that leaving it up wouldnt do much more than remind me of a time that has passed me by and people who are no longer in my life. i suppose i could do it anyway so long as i turned the askbox off? maybe))

[positive-mettaton]

((well, it’s decided that this blog is coming back! please give me a few days to tidy things up and, maybe, bring another mod or two on board. if you’re interested in being my lovely assistant, please send an ask! and be aware that you can play both deltarune and undertale characters! personally, i think ralsei would be a great fit, but who am i to judge...))

[positive-mettaton]

((well, if you want, i can bring this blog back! unfortunately, the only mod left is me. mod toriel and mod sans both stepped down a couple years ago, and ive just been kind of sitting on the url waiting for the motivation to come back... is it time?))

[positive-mettaton]

deltarune put me out of a job

[positive-mettaton]

((theres a lot going on right now but i felt the urge to post something anyways

im too depressed to be positive for you all consistently so thats my reason for the constant hiatus. im unhealthy and unhappy and feel like i may not live long if i dont get out of my current surroundings.

i do still want to finish answering your questions and continuing to take them, but its taking me a long time to do anything let alone take care of all of you

thanks for being here for so long, and thanks for making this fandom great when it was.

im sorry we all devolved into a joke about people wanting to fuck sans. it makes me sick tbh. this dumb pixel game brought together people and emotionally moved them and inspired them to be better people and now all people care about is how ridiculous it is to want to fuck a skeleton.))

* Thank you~ I do pride myself in all of my features, but it’s not often that my nose is what draws people in~

* Much appreciated, darling. I’m quite happy to be a killer robot with killer eyebrows.

* Pfft... you silly humans have your minds in the gutter. But tell me, wouldn’t you if you looked this good?

* There’s more to life than a flawless jawline~ some examples being luscious lips, flawless hair, a strong brow...

((now that these are out of the way i have to address once more that this is not an rp blog. this is an advice blog using undertale characters as faceclaims. ive brought this up several times in the past already and i feel like its at a point where this is going to keep happening anyway so im just going to have to answer the rp/character asks instead of deleting them. ya wore me down ya stubborn turds. <3 -pmtt mod))

Toriel can I have a hug? My family's been ridiculing me lot and I need a substitute hugger :^(

* Oh my... of course you may, my child. I am so sorry your family is treating you so callously. I would be happy to give you a hug.

This is hard for me to type this out because i know you get a lot of suicide/depression asks but my depression this past year has just been a downward and getting progressively worst. And while my family and friends tell me how much i have accomplished this past year (getting a decent paying job that’s going to help my career, getting close to getting my degree) I still feel like i am wasting my life.

I’m Trans and 25 going on 26 in less then three months, I wanted to start my transition when i was 25, but a year before that my dad got really aggressive and took control over my life and told me everyday that i was crazy for thinking the way i did. I eventually went back in the closet for my safety but regretted. My Dad now says he doesn’t care but I’m so angry at him for making me wast a year i cant get back. I have tried to kill myself twice this year. And honestly am thinking about it again before this year is over.

I know I’m going to be told to seek therapy but that’s not an option right now. And i don’t want to keep dragging this out. I’m just going to end this on the fact that while i have strong suicidal ideation, i really don’t want to die, I just want this emotional anguish to end. The constant thoughts of that I’m wasting my life, that everyone eals is better then me, that everyone is lying to me when they say they love and care about me.

I have friends who do support me, and parents who are proud of me for what i have accomplished and what I am going to accomplish next career and school wise. Yet it all feels like a lie because my thoughts tell me otherwise, that no one will ever love me and I’m just here for amusement of others. And this puts me in a position to not do anything outside of work and school and just lie around and do nothing but cry and mourn over time i have loss and, in the process, just wasting more time so it just becomes a viscous circle. I just want this to just stop and i don’t know how to stop this cycle of feeling worthless.

* Darling, I’m so sorry for all the time you’ve lost in your journey. Your father had no right to treat you that way, and has clearly been supporting you in a very “conditional” manner.

* It’s not going to be this way forever, though. All that you’ve accomplished is actually a great asset to your future. But you need to be able to shape your own future with your actions.

* What I’m saying is, start saving money. You have a good job and you’re on the right track toward your career and that’s amazing! I’m proud of you for it!

* A big important step to make in your life right now would be to make the move and start living on your own, or with another roomate. On your own if you can financially manage it, ideally.

* You can’t be told who to be and what to do if you’re on your own. When you’re alone, you spend a lot of time reflecting on who you are and what you want in life. You get to know yourself. You will be able to clear your mind and make your move on how to proceed with your transition and socialization as a trans adult.

* I’m terribly sorry that professional help is not an option for you currently, but please do your best to not put it out of your mind completely. Perhaps, when living alone, you will be able to pursue better care for your mental health.

* Never apologize for being yourself, and never force yourself to be someone else for another person’s sake. If you’re in a situation where it is unsafe for you to stand up for your rights to self expression, do your best to leave the environment in a safe and legal way.

* Take care of yourself! We’ll be looking out for you too.

Hi, Mettaton! I've,, got holiday issues, and it's pretty hard. 2 years ago around Christmas, my dad died of a heart attack. Now this year, it's been hard to enjoy everything because I'm paranoid that something's going to happen. My family had been busy doing holiday planning, so I'm stuck alone. I don't know what to do. How can I help my ongoing thoughts?

* Darling, I’m so sorry I was unable to answer this before Christmas had already come and gone, but I’m so grateful that you came to me with it!

* How was your holiday, by the way? By my guess, I’d assume that everything went just fine and that no one was hurt. And even if it didn’t, that it was a better event just for your presence being there.

* I am so sorry for your loss, and I know at least one of us can relate to a holiday being made bitter by a tragedy... but please don’t despair. Your father would want you to go on with your life in your own best way.

* I have a bit of experience with ghosts, and whether or not your father turned into one, I’m certain he’s proud of you for being where you are right now in life. Even if you haven’t accomplished the great feats you were born for just yet, you’re still someone worth being happy for.,

* I hope you had a Happy New Year, darling. Make it your best yet.

((we have touched on this before but please don’t include language like “youre probably going to ignore this” or “this may not be worth your time” in your messages!! because we are people too and this actually makes us feel guilty and obligated to answer your messages, which makes the experience miserable. we try to answer most if not all messages even if it takes us a long time to do it.))

Hi! I'm so so sorry for bothering you but.. I've been feeling depressed and suicidal for a while now and it's just getting worse and worse and idk what to do.. Everything I've messed up on makes me want to leave even more and I'm just really scared.. I'm sorry if this has been answered before or not but I just need something..(?) I don't want do bother my friends and I'm so sorry for bothering you.. You can just skip this if you want. Thank you for everything!

((i saw that you’d sent two messages, and thought i would put them together. i hope that’s alright!))

* Darling, listen carefully to me and take it to heart when I tell you that you’ve already done one of the most important things you could for yourself. You haven’t given up yet. You’re still here, walking the Earth with us. You have not killed yourself, and I am so grateful that you are still here.

* But that’s not the only thing you’ve done for yourself, you have plenty more to be proud of. I for one am more than happy that you’ve had the strength to reach out to me and ask for help. Because, quite frankly, that’s the most difficult part of dealing with the sort of anxieties you’re facing.

* I’m no professional, and I can’t recommend strongly enough for you to seek the help of one if it’s at all possible, but I’m more than happy to give you some advice and motivation to use in your day-to-day life.

* You say you don’t want to bother your friends, and it’s positively wonderful that you care so much about their well being. However, they care about you for a reason. Your friends love you. And if there’s anyone who would be willing to listen to you and offer you their help, it’s a good friend.

* Don’t let anyone keep you from being who you are and going about your life the way that makes you feel most fulfilled. Yes, some individuals who might try to fight you on this have been empowered most recently, but lying to yourself and injuring your psyche in such a way just because it’s what they want you do won’t make it feel any worse. It may empower them further to use more abusive language.

* Do your best to avoid endangering yourself, but at the same time, be who you are. Live as the person you were always meant to be. Your friends, and hopefully family, care more about your happiness and sense of self than they do about any misinformed beliefs they may have about how the world works. And if they don’t, you shouldn’t concern yourself with them any longer. For everyone who would wish harm onto you, there are two more people out there who are dying to meet you, even if they don’t know it yet.

* Again, thank you so much for coming to me. But don’t put the idea of professional help out of your head. If nothing else, they may help offer you strategies on how to deal with your anxiety. Now get out there and be your best self, honey~

I've got this really large problem with driving scaring me to death and as of late it's been really causing problems with me moving forward in life. Any advice?

* Oh my, to be quite honest, I can relate to being afraid of driving...

* There are more options than driving, young one, if you are able to afford it. Public transport can be just as useful on days where you simply cannot handle being behind the wheel. Carpooling with those whose destination is on the way to where you work could also be a possibility. Perhaps, even biking, which is what I used to do!

* Though... I know these are not always feasible options, whether it be physical limitation or financial. 

* Sometimes seeking help from professionals who are learned in therapy related to treating fears can help. If that is an option for you, I would suggest giving it a try, at the very least.

* If it helps at all, I was always taught to be more concerned with keeping an eye on the other drivers. As long as you’re following the basics, I am most certain you’re doing fine! Just make sure you know what everyone else is up to, and perhaps listen to something that will soothe if you if it helps.

* But, if you still struggle to drive yourself and must find other options, do not feel bad, not everyone can or even enjoys driving. It’s not unusual to be afraid on the road, my child.

* .... I for one do not even have my license.

* We’ve all been there, my friend. Sometimes, it feels like nothing we do matters, and we can’t accomplish anything in our lives.

* But the truth of the matter is, every day you wake up and take care of yourself is worth your time. There are a lot of standards we are all held to that some of us may not be able to meet, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

* We are all quite different, and quite unique. Some of us more fabulous than others, of course~

* The biggest favor you can do for yourself is to stop comparing your progress to that of others around you. If you weigh yourself against someone else’s standards, you aren’t being fair to yourself.

* Because THEIR best is never, ever going to be equal to YOUR best. Focus on yourself and your needs, and try not to be discouraged by what everyone else is doing that you aren’t.

So I am creating a MTT Neo comic and I have put it off for a few months and I am thinking on picking it back up soon, would you give me some nice inspirational quotes to keep me going? :) Thanks! ~Colleen

* Well honey, I was waiting for Admin NEO to answer this, but it seems to have slipped his mind, so I certainly hope it’s alright if little old me takes this one on~

* Artists are incredible people. Ideas are so, so awesome and valuable. I’m so glad you’ve even thought of this comic, and I’m not sure how much progress you’ve made in my absence.

* No matter what you’ve decided to create, I’m certain it’s going to turn heads! Thank you so much for sharing your work with the world!

(Call me PC) I have a mental illness that is not known by most, and those who have heard of it have usually been severely misinformed about it and don't take it seriously. This leads to me not being able to get help in certain situations that are hard for me to deal with a lot. How do I explain to these people that my condition is serious?

* Simply put, you must be assertive. I know that can be difficult for some, but it’s of paramount importance. You need to stand up for yourself and stand up for what you need.

* You matter, and your needs matter. With that said, don’t be afraid of talking about your illness. Even if people tend to make light of it when they hear about it, sit down with them and express how it affects you in your daily life, and how serious it is. Explain to them that you’d prefer if they didn’t make light of your situation, and refuse to allow them to do so.

* You are your own person and, as such, have the privilege to decide who you put your energy into. If these people aren’t understanding of you and your situation, even after having had it explained to them in detail, they aren’t worth your time. Surround yourself with supportive people who care about you and understand how difficult this is for you.

* Apologies for not answering any questions on Christmas Day, darlings~! I do hope you managed to have, at the very least, a safe and bearable holiday. And if you didn’t, please don’t fear, for Christmas has come and gone and soon New Years will be over as well.

* I’m going to make 2017 the year where I truly push my own boundaries, and try to be here a lot more for my adoring fans!
