I don't post enough for anyone to care about this, but I'm formally asking anyone who sees this to check out Laika: Aged Through Blood. It's a metroidvania game on a motorcycle. The story is really good, really dark, and really depressing. There's a demo you can play for free if you wanna try it out. It's like 20 USD on steam. It's one of the most interesting and unique games to come out of the past ten years, and hardly anyone is talking about it. Go check it out, I'm serious.

everyone saying steve in a dnd campaign would try and seduce everything when in reality he's the newbie that just tries to fight every npc his character comes in contact with

Cave Bones

I feel tired in my bones

My chest moves constantly downwards, a clogged stream that never fully dries out

The drought is in my skin, paper thin, cold

But sets alight with rage as if a match strikes at the slightest thing

I burn out daily, my eye sockets are stony caverns that well up with tears

The deeper you look inside them, the more you see my deepest fears

I have not the energy to traverse this canyon in my soul

I'm so old, so cold and yet, I haven't experienced the light in its fullness except

In flashes and leaks, the crack that let's it in quickly overwhelms

And I turn away, cowering deeper in the dark within

When will these matches torch this place down?

When will I finally see the blinding sun without?

- Devon

Devon hadn’t expected to be going on vacation for his daughter’s spring break, but his mom and his both had both insisted that he needed this. So they were vacationing in Florida for the week with his mom, sister, and one of his best friends. His mom had made reservations at a really nice resort and, even though he wasn’t the type to just ‘take a break’, he was looking forward to it.

“Lyss, put your bag on the cart.” He told the eight-year-old before getting another two suitcases and putting them on the luggage cart. He couldn’t get over how beautiful this resort was. Plus, they were in Miami, which would be cool. Hopefully he could find his way around the place.... @absolutelyrecklcss

Alright, I'm gonna ramble about Deltarune for the next however long it takes you to read this. Toby's Wild Toy Story Adjacent Happy Fun Time Adventure (Featuring Sand Undertale™) is bouncing around my skull like a DVD screen saver and if I don't talk about it, I'm going to [explosionsfx.mp4] so either strap in or leave while you can.

Spoilers under the cut.

Okay, so I saw a post a while back talking about how the Dark Worlds we've been to thus far seem to be mirroring Undertale in aesthetic and presentation, but they're going backwards. So, chapter 1 is the Castle, chapter 2 is the Core, chapter 3 is Hotland, and chapter 4 is Waterfall. I'm gonna try and find that post later so I can link to it, but if anyone knows what I'm referencing, please direct me to that post so I can edit it in here!

Anyhow, assuming things follow this trend, the next Undertale locale to be referenced should be Snowdin. With that in mind, I disagree with the theory that the next Dark World is gonna be in Asgore's flower shop.

I think it's gonna be in the Holiday house.

Think about it. The aesthetic parallels are already there. What could be more reminiscent of Snowdin than a house where it's Christmas all the time? A Dark World created there would HAVE to be winter themed at the very least. Plus, the potential for some real narrative gut punches is just too good for me to believe Toby isn't gonna do this at some point. It's just a matter of if there's anything to this Reverse Undertale theory.

So, when DOES Flower King enter the picture? It has to eventually, right? Surely Toby wouldn't just leave it unused. I hear you. I see you. I'm in your walls as we speak.

Truthfully, I'm not sure. It's possible it'll be chapter 6, considering it would align pretty well with the ruins narratively. An old building in a state of disrepair, kept standing by an old goat person, Flowey is (probably) there, that all works, sure. But I think the ruins parallel is more likely to be the Shelter, considering we already know there's a dark world in there, and it would match the Ruins in that it's inaccessible from the outside (except to Carol, but we're not talking about that) and nobody we've spoken to yet seems to know what the fuck is down there.

So where the god damn hell is the flower shop??? Chapter 7 doesn't even fit into this framework because we can't go farther back than the ruins! There's no more Undertale to parallel! None! Your theory is flawed and you should feel bad, Devon!!!

Okay, but consider: the existence of chapter 7 is, in and of itself, a defiance of the narrative. In chapter 4's secret boss, the World's Funkiest Grandpa, you learn that the story only ever had six parts to begin with. Part seven was never written. The implication, to my understanding, is that it's GOING to be written, likely by Susie. In stark defiance of the prophecy, of the natural order of the world, a new chapter will be forced on to the end of this story. Through sheer determination and force of will, Susie will spit in the face of what will be and write what she thinks should be, and we already know what she thinks should be.

For tomorrow to be the same as yesterday. For the story to keep going, without an ending. For things to persist forever.

Thing is, we've seen "forever". We've seen how much of a double edged sword that idea is. We know why eternal persistence kinda sucks, actually. And I think that's what chapter 7 is gonna show us.

Come to think of it, we don't really know how long those flowers in Asgore's shop have been there. How do you think they feel about not being allowed to die.

eddie subconsciously curling his hair in his fingers until it gets stuck in his rings and steve has to help but keeps telling him "dude I think we're gonna gave to cut it" until eddie yanks his hand free and accidentally whacks steve in the face

eddie having a tongue piercing is all fine and good but I like to believe he has swallowed at least 3 of them before just giving up
