Me and the plushy Wheatley

If he was ever real I would give him cuddles (only if he was okay with it obvs)

The comic is back with page 82, and it is the next day after Chara asked Asriel for a favor...

Given that there is very little information, we don’t exactly have a theory, but we do have a speculation. You can check it out here.

The reblogs are appreciated! :)

Chara consumed the buttercups.

Research did go into this. Buttercup poisoning is rare since they taste acrid and blister the mouth, deterring consumption. Just the same, even small quantities are extremely poisonous, and symptoms progress as such:

Stage 1 (within 1 hour)

Irritation and blistering of the skin Ulceration of the mouth and digestive track

Stage 2 (after 4 hours)

Gastrointestinal damage: nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea Kidney damage Confusion, dizziness, and headaches Breathing difficulty, coughing Paralysis

Stage 3 (within 24 hours)

Convulsions Asphyxiation and circulatory failure Death

Sources: [ Novascotia.ca ] [ Awkward Botany ] [ Homeovision ] [ The Poison Garden ]

Page 82 depicts the last stage of this awful poisoning. Since most of the damage of buttercup poisoning is internal, it was important to show the effects of the damage in an external way. Sunken, dark eyes and skin so pale the veins are visible shows dehydration and low blood circulation. The lips and nose are inflamed because of contact dermatitis. While a full body rash was not explicitly stated on the toxicology reports, I opted to include it because buttercups are a severe skin irritant, and ingested plants that cause a histamine reaction usually cause rash outbreaks all over the body.

Yes. There actually is an account of a man drinking a juice made of buttercups and dying the next day. It’s mentioned in our post regarding how long Chara was ill.

It was very important to us that Chara not look peaceful on their death bed. After all, poisoning is a horrible way to die and an awful thing to witness. 

Here, Chara’s skin is even paler than normal, and the circles around their eyes include not just purple, but yellow and red as well. The red rash on their skin helps emphasize that pale complexion, which is pushed to the limit with the veins showing through their skin, giving Chara the appearance of being nearly transparent. 

It’s also the first time we have used a soft coloring style on a character, which unexpectedly clashes with the healthy Chara on the previous page. Your horrified reaction is a compliment since that was exactly the response we were hoping to cause.

Chara’s old injury was much worse than many expected! Here are the reactions the beginning of Chara’s story on page 67.

While not on board with the plan, a few sympathize with Chara’s injury.

To clarify for everyone, Chara’s leg is not broken, and they do not have hemophilia. However, they do have some serious tissue damage and swelling. It will take a while to heal!

Some very passionate reactions to page 38! Chara finally catches up with Frisk.

Never bring a snowball to a knife fight.

Was there ever any doubt?

I’m an adult!

No matter how dire the circumstances, true comedians never miss a pun.

Ah, that comment about the cover makes a lot more sense now!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in!

From personal experience, I can attest that adrenaline plus running at a full sprint will prevent you from feeling the cold.

(This is brilliant.)

Even though a bunch of Chara’s misdeeds are listed here, it’s interesting that the one thing not mentioned is the time they stabbed Frisk (twice).

So since I managed to get my art tablet working again, I wanted to have a go at drawing Chara!

...An attempt was made, let’s just put it that way xD

I did have to guess the colours a bit (I gave them red eyes ‘cause I thought it looked cool) but I gave it my best shot, so I hope you like it! :D

You said in answer to another ask that Asriel is 16 during "Rewrite". If it's not a spoiler, when did his horns grow in then?

In this AU, his horns won’t start coming in until he hits about 18 years old. And even then, they grow slowly! Our idea is that because boss monsters live much longer than humans, they also grow slower as well.

page 25 had people pretty concerned for frisk! well, some people were concerned anyway.

FLOWEY: Do you think you are the only one with that power? The power to reshape the world... Purely by your own determination. The ability to play God! The ability to "SAVE." I thought I was the only one with that power. But... I can't SAVE anymore. Apparently YOUR desires for this world override MINE.

was it the emperor’s new groove?
