[reflectedinwater]

( by the way my favorite ut characters are the dreemurr family and alphys )

[reflectedinwater]

( just me rambling about the skeletons presence in ut & dr and their history fandom-wise. i wouldn't say they're my favorite characters, not since 2020, but my god stocks are rising again for the right reasons this time )

( i feel like i need to be restrained whenever someone talks about the skeletons but hasn't played deltarune yet. or even talks about gaster but hasn't dove into the files or looked at the wiki or videos regarding him. undertale and deltarune are two separate universes with different rules and stories and people—but when you start the game it still tells you to play undertale. not to understand jokes or references, but gaster, sans, and papyrus.

both games are required to have a better understanding of their origins hinted at by many characters in undertale but never fully explained. playing undertale first then seeing sans, exactly as we knew him, for the first time gives us—the player—a hint that deltarune will give us answers to our questions. deltarune is also very obviously everything to gaster with the darkness. in fact, its always been interesting that we can say we know every single character in undertale, but with the skeletons—especially gaster—we can't really say that. then undertale on the switch comes in, and clam girl—whos very obviously connected to gaster now—talks about how we're gonna meet "suzy" soon. then deltarune comes in. you know what happens next!

gaster has been the biggest mystery since the release of undertale, but most theories didn't go anywhere because, well, we didn't have deltarune. so a lot of people, if not all, focused on and explored gaster's familial relationship with sans and papyrus and what they were maybe like all together. i think, while gaster got popular for mostly the right reasons—because he's a mystery, not purely because of sans—sans got insanely popular for the wrong reasons—genocide route—but i don't think he's interesting and cool because of that at all. at least, not now. i was a kid back then who loved all fanon and didn't see how it changed characters for the worst. anyway,

sans is a mystery. its why hes interesting. not as big as gaster, but the way he acts in undertale suggests trauma—a story in the past untold and unknown to all but him. (it also suggested, but brought further by other characters, he and papyrus weren't from undertale. but as far as im aware, nobody but game theory thought or even considered they came from another world.) the need to deconstruct, poke, and prod at him because of that was very prevalent, but got twisted for hype moments and aura. yeah, hes cool, but it should be mainly because he's so damn smart and observant. )

[useup]

a light wind caresses their dark mop of hair . kris turns to look as susie shifts beside them , watching her stride to the treeline , and they tilt their head as she procures a big stick . in a perfect world , she would toss it in a big arc across the beach for them to fetch , they consider idly . ( also , they would have lopped ears and soft fur all over and --- a dog . they would be a dog . )

still , her pose brings a rare , muted smile to their face . they pretend to fan themself exaggeratedly , swooning , like nothing more than her fawning groupie or adoring fan . she's so cool !

" you're so badass . don't chop me up . eeeeek . " they say , voice flat . their crimson eyes are glimmering brightly , glinting out from behind the sheet of their overgrown bangs . the human considers susie's question , brows pinching as they deliberate ... eventually , kris shakes their head . " mm - mm . don't think so . your axes , are always brushes . like how my swords are always , pencils . it must turn into --- something else . "

[reflectedinwater]

She brought the branch to her eyes, analyzing it from every angle. ❝ Something else, huh? ❞ Susie went silent, brows furrowed as she thought of the possibilities. It could become a slingshot, or even a crossbow. Nah, it was pretty long ... maybe a spear?

Then she paused, squinted eyes widening, and frown turning up into a grin. She had an idea. A game — just for the two of them. She could just confirm her theories easily by simply jumping into Castle Town, or they could mess around for a bit.

Susie leaned against the branch. When she looked at Kris again, for some reason, she took note of the way their hair blew in the wind. Their eyes peeked out from behind their bangs, and they shone.

Then she realized her hair was also being swept to the side the same way.

It made her feel like some kind of heroine. ( Well, she already was. But it still felt like a crazy thing to say, even to herself. She never thought she'd ever get on that level. ) ❝ We should steal random objects and bet on what they turn into. ❞ Despite the fact she was gonna suggest getting into potential trouble. ❝ Winner gets bragging rights. I say this turns into a mace. ❞

You don't listen. Stay out of this place!

I am not afraid of no-one! Get that into your head!

We got a contract, you got nothing to say?

Get your hands off me!

You're alive! Bless your patron saint, if you got one.

We'd look real stupid if I had you up on anything so trivial, right?

What do you want from me?

You always said you had a lot of important friends, right?

No point in wasting words.

You took the contract, [name]. Now it's up to you to see it through.

You got no time to fool around.

I wanted [name] to die: clean, painless..I told you that, didn't I?

You should have used your brains, it would have worked out better.

We could have kept this inside the family.

How was I… how was anyone to know, what was gonna happen!?

Are you trying to scare me?

What can you tell me about [name]?

It's too bad you had to spoil my day.

I want a feast, fit for a king... One last formality.

You never can tell, it might come in handy some day.

I'm sorry to leaving you, [name].

You're young, you have to live.

If you need anything, my word still carries some weight.

I learned to read what's in a man's eyes. You're worried about something.

It's- it's something I have to do on my own.

Let me look at you. You look wonderful.

I remember you used to fool around so much.

Now you can start it all over from scratch.

It's just that.. I'm not interested in that sort of satisfaction anymore.

What do you mean? Where do you wanna go? What will you do?

I know you had a lotta time to think, but you've got everything anyone could ask for.

You're respected, you're rich and powerful. You know everything that's mine, is yours.

What do you mean, you want to try to lead another life?

I don't know, this life is not for me anymore.

No matter where you go, it's the same. It's a struggle for survival.

You leave now, the friends will look on you with suspicion, as though you had betrayed them. Nobody walks away from this!

There are many things you could not forget.

You know what you have to do.

Come on…Let's go inside.

I prefer not to talk about it anymore.

Times have changed, but I'll never forget that night.

You don't have any right to be here without a warrant.

As soon as you have a moment, I'd like to have your advice.

[He/She/They] always knows everything .

The way things are set up right now, it's getting a little difficult to maneuver.

You think [name] will be coming back? Sooner or later?

I don't know, [name], I don't know… I've had a strange feeling..

You noticed anything?

I wanted to wait till I was sure, before I said something to you about it.

I knew it was my own weakness, I knew it!

What am I gonna do, kill [him/her/them]?

Maybe somebody will take advantage of it and try to squeeze me out.

[Name]'s finished! and you're gonna finish [him/her/them]!

You would have killed anybody else. Why didn't you?

It's business, [name], just business…

Why do you care? What happens in [name place] doesn't matter anymore.

I'm glad to see you alive.

Thank you for the faith you've shown me.

[Name]'s running the war with the approval of the [name] family.

They know, once I'm eliminated, it'll be very easy.

They only have one problem…I'm still alive.

I've known some better days. But, I still have some powerful friends.

If I need you, I'll send someone to get you.

What are you saying, I owe everything to you…

You know you have family. You should be more careful.

Listen, you know where you can stick this. Or is there something else you wanna tell us?

One last piece of advice, stay out of [name place].

So, what is [name] saying? We still have a deal, right?

With them still alive, the game is way more dangerous.

I am the new head of the family! Everybody has to acknowledge that, understand!?

It took a gang war to remind you that I exist.

Old times are gone, everything's changed.

This business doesn't change, there's no recession in your industry, is there?

Another time, I got a lot of things on my mind.

If I were to die, you could have the whole thing for nothing.

You can't go in there without being announced.

You can go to hell!

I don't think [name] should be hunted down, like an animal.

I remember when you started out, you were scared to death.

Personally, I don't bear any grudge against [name]. It wasn't me who asked for this war.

A man who can do that, can do anything.

If you were the boss, then you'd have to do something, no matter what.

You can't expect any faith from nobody.

I thought, maybe, you forgot our emergency number.

I'm sorry about the mess I got you into.

I just feel better knowing that you're safe, that's all.

Now I'll tell you what I want you to do, I want you to get out of here as soon as you can.

I'll handle things here by myself.

Listen, they tried to kill you!

I just want to know where all this operating money is coming from!

I've already sent word out, that I want peace.

I got money, you understand? I got money over there, not here.

I don't like being hold up like this, I tell you that.

The meeting will be held, according to usual rules.

Well, I think it's a trap.

Tell them we accept. Meanwhile, we'll think about how we can stop the bastard from screwing us.

I'd like to make you a proposition, [name].

No one will search me. I'll take a gun with me to the meeting.

If things don't go well, you could be a dead man.

Why didn't you come to me before?

It would be my privilege to help you, you know that.

You thought you'd get me, huh?

Listen, do you know what kind of a trick that son of a bitch is up to?

Somebody get killed by mistake, and you've come to say you're sorry!?

I saw the whole thing. They even tried to kill me.

They can't take it anymore, it's a matter of hours.

This war is ruining everyone, and if you die, the war is over, don't forget.

From what you tell me, things are not going too well, huh?

You'll be safe in [name place].

I was hoping to hear you say that.

What difference does it make, to [name place] or anywhere else?

Why don't you forget about me?

You know, I grew up on these streets.

Here, you're with family. If you need anything, you only have to ask.

How much money do you think we can have, in a very short time?

What if they find the body?

I don't want you to turn this into your own personal vendetta.

I know that's the way you are. I know that!

If I'd been any stronger, I'd have kept you out of the family in the first place!

That's it.. it's finished. Everything is settled.

that was certainly an interesting conversation starter. at a beach, no less. sans leaned against a tree, watching his brother getting chased by dogs for some reason. what did they think he was? a bone?

❝ now that's an odd question, isn't it? ❞ he finally responded, tone suggesting he was slightly amused, but who knew?

he turned his head, observing frisk for a moment. then raised his arms, shrugging. ❝ gotta be specific, kid. ❞

x. | @salvationals sent a bottled message: “i had the strangest dream last night. do you remember yours when you wake up?” / xia fei @ cheng xiaoshi!

He leaned back in his chair, waving his hand dismissively. ❝ Not really, ❞ said a half-truth. He remembered his dreams, though most weren't entirely his.

... Though, he couldn't tell when theirs ended and when his began. ( But, in a way, they were all his ... No, that was stupid. )

Either way, they tended to persist way past the ten minute mark — but only as feelings weighing on his heart. That had always been a funny thing to him — it would be so vivid the moment he woke up, he'd forget himself; but then the details would quickly slip in between his fingers like sand. The only way to keep them, he was told — unless it really stuck — was to write it down. Better with a pen and paper.

Cheng Xiaoshi didn't intend on doing that.

Then he smiled, and leaned forward; elbow on the table, chin rested on the back of his hand. With a lowered volume, he asked: ❝ Do you think dreams have meaning? ❞ The question came out as playful, but he was genuinely curious what Xia Fei thought.
