I have some thoughts about Ralsei & Flowery that I’m not confident I’m gonna fully be able to put into words but here I go

Functionally, they’re both mirrors of Asriel/Flowey, right. I’m not exactly treading new ground in saying that. But Asriel & Flowey are the same guy, the same one guy. Flowey was kind & caring. Asriel killed every monster in the underground. Flowey couldn’t bring himself to kill a human. Asriel tries to trap you in an infinite death loop just so you won’t leave.

Ralsei reads as the kind Asriel. The one who lived with Chara, who didn’t go through All That. A soft and kind boy.

Flowery reads as a controlling jerk willing to kill you to get his way.

But Ralsei is starting to really show a temper. (The mounting pressure of the prophecy and things going exactly as they are supposed to(?). Can you blame him? He’s standing on the train tracks knowing he cannot stop the train. Worse: he’s seeing people he loves standing on the tracks. And he cannot stop the train. Maybe he’s even conducting it.)

And Flowery was doing it all to protect those nearest & dearest to him. (Wouldn’t you try to kill someone who was trying to end your entire family? Your entire world? Parade their body along the streets, perhaps?)

Ralsei appears to reflect the Asriel half.

Flowery appears to reflect the Flowey half.

But maybe Ralsei is closer to Flowey. And Flowery is closer to Asriel.

Current thoughts on TOTK:

I keep forgetting that I don’t have the paraglider yet and jumping off tall things. And there are a lot of tall things in this game. Usually there’s enough fall time for me to go, ‘wait, I don’t have the paraglider yet’, and then I get to hear all of Links bones shatter on impact

It turns out the difficult part of writing things is that you have to write them, in a shocking twist no one has ever uncovered before in the history of people writing things

I’ve started to dress more like a cartoon character & it’s doing a lot for me

I’m rewatching the 2018 Bumblebee movie and man, Charlie’s family, like, sucks

Simply cannot stop thinking about how dnd went for me tonight

With Helena, combat tends to be ‘I roll to hit. I roll to hit. I roll to hit.’ And it’s great (now that I’m actually hitting things) because Helena does boatloads of damage, and also that’s how Helena is, she’s singleminded! She’s locked tf in!

With Cindy, I’m going fucking nuts. I’m running around like a cat with the zoomies. I’m frolicking. I’m catching bullets midair and throwing them back.

But what happened tonight.

We’re in a house under siege by a collection of undead. I, before the siege started, managed to spot their vehicle from a second story window, so while everyone else was defending the house I was scuttling out the window, sprinting across the yard, and stealing their wagon

Now, unfortunately, their driver & also their attack dogs were right there. The dogs jumped into the wagon and started trying to bite me, but simply could not match my AC. the driver tried to shoot me, but I caught the arrow/bullet, and flung it back, so then the driver also got into the wagon and at that point I realized my plan had gone from ‘run over the guys at the front door’ to ‘I am now driving a fun package of bonus guys to fight’ so I did a pristine 3 point turn and started driving into the night

Wagon has a movement speed of 50. Dm allows use of dash, so with the 3 point turn factored in I manage to get 60 feet off the edge of the battle map.

This is where it goes wrong.

If I do my turn right, I can move 120 feet. I decide to bail out of the wagon (full of things attacking me) and try to cut the horses free as I go, so they can’t turn around and come back.

I roll acrobatics to get out of the wagon.

Natural one.

Reroll burning a luck point.

Natural one.

I fall out of the wagon. Dm tells me to roll acrobatics to see if I fall under the horses or not.

Natural one.

I take seven points of bludgeoning damage.

I am now at 20/22 hp.

I pick myself up, brush myself off, and sprint 100 feet in order to arrive directly behind the guys trying to break into the front door.

We run out of time for the session to keep going.

But in combat time, in the span of six seconds, I did a 3 point turn, drove a wagon 60 feet into the night, fell out, got run over, and then ran 100 feet back to where I started.
