“What is a personal website even FOR?“

When making a personal website for the first time, you may ask yourself this!

The answer is: fucking anything. Personal websites don’t have to be “presentable” if they’re not tied to your IRL identity or whatever. Look at old captures of geocities, tripod, angelfire sites. You had dedicated single-topic sites, sure, but you also had sites that were arbitrary, slapdash little hoards of the website owner’s Favorite Things, no matter how unrelated they were.

Some suggestions:

links to your 3 favorite other websites.

an essay about how cool hydraulic engines are

a sanctuary for all your favorite images, such as memes, that you’ve collected over the years

facts about centipedes you think everyone should know

competitive hardcore sims 2 speedrunning strategies

a portfolio of your artwork, or links to other people’s artwork you enjoy

elaborate lies and hoaxes (maybe even a whole arg)

useful survival tips specific to where you come from (personal recipes, trustworthy doctors, good music venues, eats that are both good and affordable, hot goss on who's up to what horseshit on your city council/school board/university faculty/whatever)

original fiction that noone on social media cares about because people only like and reblog about what they already know. explain your entire fictional country that you wanna put in a real novel one day.

making people not have to dig through your tags to know where to find all your dracula meta (including the shipping manifesto you wrote 10 years ago)

speaking of fandom, you know that one piece of media you love that nobody else seems to have heard of? you post into the void and nobody reblogs or likes? nothing in the tags? Yea. Built a shrine to that explaining why EVERYONE should care about it. tell me how that pirated copy of Telefang made you the human being you are today

explaining your personal philosophies on life without worrying that you will get reblogged by randos calling you cringe

just generally being fucking a weird, unrelatable, unmarketable, extremely specific ass human being

The art tweet [archived source] still exists [source], as of the writing of this post.

The other tweet [archived source] was deleted some time in 2016.

Perhaps because it mentioned Chara by name?

things in undertale that are, hauntologically, ghosts: a flower imbued with the powdered essence of a child, reawakened into animation and awareness by the injection of liquid willpower. the framing and mechanics of a narrative, letting slip things it knows the protagonist shouldn’t, its memories surfacing upon every in-game death. the souls of dead children, wavering voiceless colors, who they were in life only revealed from the items they left behind. a man shattered across time and space, and the wandering mouthpieces of his story (fellow lost ones? or mere tendrils of himself?) that noone else can see.

things in undertale that aren’t ghosts: the subspecies of monster that look like bedsheet lumps and possess objects that everyone calls “ghosts“. skeletons.

Sprite reference for Kris, Susie, Noelle, and Berdly’s light world and dark world forms! And also Ralsei’s hat-wearing and hatless form.

why is susie so preoccupied with blood when she comes from a species that apparently doesn’t have blood (and one monster even asked kris if it hurts to be made of blood). example quotes:

\E6* ... there's a jar of..^1. Blood...^1?&* In here./

Mmm, blood!

\EA* Giant swords^1, hammers^1, bloody battles.../

\EA* Heh^1, ask me again when it's^1, like^1, blood explosion magic./%

I guess I do like slime and blood...

also why does she seem slightly suprised that toriel has monster-shaped cookie cutters:

\E4* Hahaha^1! Those are for gingerbread^1, Susie./ obj_npc_sign_slash_Other_10_gml_471_0 \E0* Gingerbread men..^1. and gingerbread monsters^1, of course./ obj_npc_sign_slash_Other_10_gml_473_0 \EA* ..^1. Gingerbread monsters^1, huh...? Cool./%

And why is she embarrassed of having a tail when like half her classmates and her teacher have tails. it’s not weird for monsters to have tails!

DOUBLE TRAUMA CONGO

December “Dess“ Holiday is missing. At the same time, she’s probably not dead. Noelle’s search history apparently includes a lot of “December Holiday“... which would make more sense if Dess is a missing person, and Noelle is desperate to know if she’s been found. Other evidence can be found in this post by TheAmazingSallyHogan.

Noelle talks about how “the four of us” (Kris, Asriel, Noelle, and Dess) would go explore together, sometimes scary places. Take Noelle to the door to Spamton’s shop (in any route) and she comment’s that it’s nostalgic. Go to the bunker in Hometown, and Snowy and Monster Kid will gossip about how there’s rumored to be something scary in there... and make a comment that suggests Kris has some relationship to the bunker. (This is also in @theamazingsallyhogan‘s post... read it, it’s good.)

Even though we only started “playing as“ Kris in Chapter 1, the wagon and stain on Kris’ floor suggest they’ve had possession problems for a lot longer than we’ve been around. They have an entire protocol for temporarily de-possessing and re-possessing themselves, to the extent that Toriel shrugs it off as just a thing Kris does sometimes. Sidenote: this is the main reason I think the Red Soul, the real player character of Deltarune, is going to turn out to have prior history and ties to this world’s story and lore, and not just... literally the Player manifest into the game world.

Furthermore, Kris willingly putting the red soul back in their body after removing it, and their jerky movements when when it’s not in their body... suggest they need the soul to function healthily, even as it prevents them from have complete autonomy. And yet, the SURVEY section of Chapter 1 shows that the Red Soul we control is a transplanted SOUL, foreign to Kris’ body. If Kris needs a soul to function, but the soul they’re using to stay alive isn’t theirs... where’d their real soul go?

Side note: Susie calls Kris a “zombie“ and a “corpse“ in quick succession near the beginning of Chapter 2. She doesn’t mean it literally, I imagine, but from a textual standpoint its an. Interesting thing for the game to try shoving in our faces, isn’t it?

I think Kris’ possession and Dess’ disappearance are both connected to the Bunker incident.

Whatever happened in the bunker led to Kris’ current situation - they became soulless, and at that exact moment (or perhaps sometime afterwards) also became possessed by an outside SOUL with its own consciousness.

The bunker incident also led to December Holiday’s disappearance. The exact nature of her disappearance could’ve been anything from mundane tragedy, to becoming permanently lost in a Dark World, to even becoming entangled with nonexistence in the way Gaster and his followers in Undertale seem to be.

I imagine a decent chunk of Noelle and Kris’ story will involve further exploration of The Incident™ and how it affected both their lives, so this is my shot at speculating on it. Hope you find it interesting!

So we got further confirmation that darkners are, like... objects and other things not thought of as “people” (such as computer programs) given personhood, yea?

spade king’s bitterness is based on the abandoned classroom being... abandoned. queen’s entire understanding of lightners comes from what she’s seen of their internet searches. darkners literally revert to object form when being transported across the light world from one dark world to another one.

So...

I’m still genuinely curious as to what happens when you put a monster funerary object - that is to say, an object covered in dead monster dust - in a dark world.

I feel like there’s a... chance. It would create a darkner that inherits features from the monster’s dust, either in addition to or instead of the features of the actual object. And would the created darkner have any elements of the original monster’s personality? Any of their memories? Would it be a revival, a reincarnation, or an uncanny imitation that’s just different enough to, eventually, over time, recognizably be its own person?

Even if that’s not how it works... what if a character assumes it’s correct? and attempt necromancy-via-dark-fountain. Regardless of the outcome, I feel like... whatever happens, there’s something to explore in that scenario. If canon doesn’t end up ever exploring this inquiry, I hope at least a fanfic attempts it.

Anyways, Alvin seems to want to do... something with Gerson’s hammer near the end of Chapter 2, if you go to the graveyard and then leave.
