“Latte! Do not swear!  It is unbecoming!  Especially for such a face and stature as yours!”

[*Did Ceffie just call Latte cute?  In a round-about way I suppose.]

“I… don’t think that’s necessary.”

* Of course it’s necessary, Latte. 

* Regularly getting your shots is a key part of maintaining human health. 

* Don’t worry. I’m completely board-certified. My smiley face nametag says so. 

* And I totally know how to use this....uhhh...whatever this doohickey is called.

what-is-determination answered your ask “[*A little grey Frisk in the inbox.] *You could always make sure...”

*Ah, by pausing the timeline silly.  I can buy you enough time to get rid of him before she comes.  However if I did, I need to know this wouldn’t be a wasted effort on my part.

[*The small child tilted their head as they held their hands behind their back, trying to convey an innocent childishness, despite their unblinking holes for eyes.]

*So... does that sound like a plan?

what-is-determination replied to your post: Hey Ceffie. Do you know what bepis is?

“To be fair, Bunny tried to explain it to Mocha, and they’re a kid, too?”

*And it broke his peanut brain.

Another Frisk, another day. 

Isis was beginning to become accustomed to meeting alternates of herself or her Frisk. It was becoming such a common occurrence that it was honestly starting to concern her. Nonetheless, it was never unpleasant unless she ran into a particularly violent incarnation.

Isis assessed the child silently, thoroughly. They do not appear particularly threatening, nor do her instincts have anything to say about them. So, she has allowed herself to feel a certain level of relaxation around them, if only for now.

With kindness in her smile, and politeness in her tone, she merely greeted them with a soft, “Hello, there,” and waited to see where the conversation would take them.

Dear person I like,

Dust does Snail Mail: here

Dear person I like~

Latte, you are obviously repressed and need to do some good ol’ fashioned killing, so I’ve come up with this nine-step plan to-

Okay, now that I’ve caught your attention or at least earned an eyeroll, I’ll be serious now, friend. 

Don’t confuse your needs and wants. 

Your desire for companionship - your longing for approval - for family - for friends - are all just wants. You don’t need any of them. You don’t need Toriel, You don’t need Mocha. You don’t need that obscure random monster living next door. You don’t need me.

Why am I telling you this? 

I’ve had this feeling since we’ve first met, and the sensation’s only gotten clearer since you’ve told your Chara ‘no’. 

A downtrodden person would’ve given in to his demands, y’know. An optimistic person - or a delusional one- would’ve done the same. On the other hand, an even-remotely-vindictive person would’ve used his moment of weakness and served him his just deserts. 

But you chose none of these options. 

Because you have that spark that kept me alive when I should’ve rightfully stayed dead. 

Latte, you are a survivor. And it’s a shame that you don’t appreciate it. It’s not the curse you think it is; it’s a blessing that makes life sweeter and more beautiful. 

If everyone close to you were to drop dead, I know you would still choose to live. You might be broken and a little more crazy for it, but you would live. That’s because you don’t need them. 

However, though you might not need them, you still want them in your life. And that makes the bonds of friendship and family you do have so much purer. Because those bonds you choose to have are made because you genuinely want to have those bonds, not simply because you need them. It makes you the master of your relationships, not the other way around; if a bond starts becoming a chain, it’s in your power to sever it. 

And no, being a survivor does not mean you’ll end up like me... though I’d admittedly prefer if you were a little more murder happy. It’ll at least give us something else to talk about. :)

Anyway, appreciate who you are.  Only then can you be free.  

Sincerely,

Dust
