Alright, ref sheet for Supertale!Undyne!

Her current alias is Starlight, but she went by Knight when she was first starting out as Toriel and Asgore’s sidekick when she was a teenager.

Her power is hard light manipulation: she can summon solid constructs out of light. She mostly uses it for spears and to summon platforms in the air to parkour on because she’s extra like that.

She had sufficient beef with Sans back when she was working under the Dreemurrs that her desire to put a spear through his face was immortalized in her back patch when she went solo, but her nemesis nowadays is Alphys. They fight to the death every week and then Undyne goes to the library to flirt with a cute librarian she met recently who has anxiety issues and is super duper a civilian no secret identity here those suspicious bruises are from uhhhh epic fail at ikea shelf assembly yup

SBR Story Motifs: Cats

Those fluffy, purring companions who domesticated themselves are a cornerstone of Spirit Box Radio. Cats frequently crop up in folklore and mythology wherever they exist in the world. In the UK, black cats are considered unlucky, and associated with witchcraft and devil worship. This concept was so widely believed that during the time where witch hunting was widespread across Europe, huge numbers of solidly black cats were killed because of their alleged occult associations. Even now, it's uncommon to find solidly black cats in the UK; most black cats you see will have some smudge of white on their bodies somewhere, however small. During the phase where black cats were culled, those with white markings were spared, as it was believed this was a sign they were touched by god, not the devil. Black cats were also killed on mass during the height of the bubonic plague, as people believed their bad luck was contributing to infection.

One of the most famous examples of cats in mythology and religion is that of the worship of cats in ancient egyptian cultures. Cats were loved and revered, and some were even worshipped as spiritual guides or avatars of the gods. There are many examples of cats who were mummified both as companions for the wealthy and powerful and independently mummified. Many cats were mummified as religious offerings to the goddess Bastet, who is often depicted as a cat or as having a cat's head.

Anyone who has spent any significant time with a cat will know that worship is something they take gladly to. Thankfully, black cats are less likely to be killed for their apparent bad luck an occult associations nowadays, but they remain unpopular in adoption centres. It's beleived the reason for this is in part due to old stigma about their unluckiness, and in part because they are more difficult to photograph than their more colourful counterparts.

Spirit Box Radio features many cats as the host of the show, Sam Enfield, seems to attract them. The cats in the show are equal parts helpful and hindering, just like cats in real life. They contain multitudes of wisdom, but it remains just out of reach, not because they don't know how to communicate it, but because they're contrary and difficult and would much rather be taking a nap.

Eat Your Way Into Better Mental Health!

Are we really what we eat? Research strongly suggests that may be true. Especially so in the area of mental health. The same serotonin that is used to balance our moods is primarily manufactured in our gut, so eating healthy food that promotes the creation and distribution of this essential neurotransmitter is a must. There are other foods we can eat to reduce symptoms of other disorders. So what do we have to eat to gain these brain-strengthening benefits. Below are a few of the things you can add to your diet to help you improve your mood and your health. 

Whole grains: Even though there is a stigma against eating too many carbs in today’s society, the most important thing you can do is eat the RIGHT kind of carbs. Whole grains like brown rice, whole grain breads and pasta, oats, oatmeal, and whole grain cereal are just a few things you can eat that will have a direct impact on your mood. Unlike white bread, chips, refined sugars and grains, whole grains are complex carbohydrates. Consuming a balanced amount of whole grains in your diet will help even out your mood because it takes your body longer to digest it and it provides long lasting energy. Regular or refined carbs spike your blood sugar instantly, which leads to violent irregularities in mood swings. Another benefit of eating whole grains is it provides you a longer lasting sense of fullness, which can curb your appetite and promote weight loss. 

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: This, like any other nutrient is best derived from a food source. Fatty fish like salmon, anchovies, tuna, and others are great sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. These acids are directly related to producing the serotonin that your brain needs for mood stability. That is why doctors recommend fish or an Omega-3 supplement in addition to your medication or routine when diagnosed with depression. Not only that, but Omega-3′s are essential to heart health, so there are multiple benefits to eating foods that are high in this nutrient. 

Yogurt: Yogurt contains probiotics that encourage healthy bacteria to grow in the stomach. Research also suggests when we have an abundance of these good bacteria in our system, it provides our body with a breeding ground for serotonin production, which we all know is vital to our mental health. Remember, any gut-healthy food is also healthy for our brain and mental health. 

Fresh fruits: Fruits like berries, oranges, and apples all contain antioxidants that are essential in cell repair. They also contain nutrients and fiber that are essential in mood stabilization and promote a healthy brain. 

Dark, leafy greens: These are one of my favorites. Greens like spinach, romaine, chard, kale and collards are rich in iron, folate, and vitamin C. Remember from my previous blog, folate (Folic Acid) is an essential nutrient in fighting off symptoms of depression. A lot of people who are diagnosed with depression also have a deficiency in folic acid. Not only that, but they are also packed with brain-boosting Omega-3′s.

Eggs: Also packed with Omega-3′s, this wonder food also has an abundance of natural Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential to the brain because it is the catalyst that helps convert the nutrient tryptophan in our bodies into serotonin. Not only that, but our bodies cannot absorb calcium without it. Not only that, but eggs are packed in protein, which is good for both the mind and body. 

Lean protein: Even though our brain is primarily comprised of fat and requires complex carbohydrates to fuel and function. The other source of energy and replenishment it needs comes from protein. Lean protein not only is healthy for the body but promotes the production of healthy brain cells and mood stabilizing chemicals. 

These are just a few things you can add to your diet. Just as important as eating better are reductions. Reduction/removal of caffeine, sugars, refined carbs, junk foods, alcohol, high-fat dairy, gluten, and other items will provide your brain and body with the healthy boost it needs. In conjunction, a balanced diet with exercise is key to having a healthy body and mind. When I took on my fitness challenge I started feeling a positive difference in just days. I encourage you all to try your own health and wellness challenge. It can be the easiest thing you do in overcoming your battle with mental illness. 

As always, wishing you all the best,

Marc
