Legitimately just had one of the worst meals of my entire life. I am still sitting here, trying to come to terms with what I just put inside my body. The orange chicken was drenched in what I can only call a carcinogenic slime. It tasted like how bug spray smells. I felt myself actively eroding the more I ate, but shit, it was $16 bucks. I kept going in spite of myself. I should've known better. The chlorine they call a sauce seeped into every spongey pore of the chicken's squishy exterior. Despite the uncooked batter bathing in liquid cum, the chicken itself was a dry, chewy muskrat texture, one that forced you to choke up even the smallest pieces you dared to swallow. The honey sesame chicken was an ice-cold cat's tongue, and the associated veg was mildewy and wilted. If you could cook the flavor of rot into something, then that's what they did to this food. I am not even joking, the chow mein tasted like a cigarette. I imagine they dumped an entire fucking bottle of liquid smoke into the noodle, with the intention of hurting and hopefully killing me. I can't imagine good, conscientious people making food like this. Everyone there was a hateful person. Maybe they weren't even people.
The only good thing I can say about this experience is that I learned something: a terrible lesson. Thank you, Panda Express.
berdly is like, incredibly abrasive right? frankly comedic levels of abrasive, especially to certain kinds of players. that’s his role in the story, to be a little shithead who’s so pathetic it’s funny. a walking punchline. but really, like queen said, there’s nothing wrong with him, at least nothing that it isn’t normal for a teenager to have “wrong” about them. he’s just annoying.
but being annoying is one of the most dangerous things a fictional character can be.
so many times i’ve watched someone play chapter 2 and very quickly wonder out loud, semi-jokingly, if they can kill berdly, usually not long after he’s introduced in the dark world, often going as far to say they would be willing to abandon the pacifist route to do so.
so the chapter 2 weird route’s climax is, essentially, the game calling that bluff. really? you really wanna do that? okay. here’s who you wanted to kill. a normal ass teenager who stops fucking around and cuts the smartboy bullshit the moment he realizes his best friend is in Actual Real Fucking Danger and immediately rushes to help her. this is who he is when he’s in a position where you can kill him. not an annoying cartoon character. is that satisfying? is it worth it?
Lancer has already voluntarily moved off of this floor at the start of Chapter 5 (either in with Queen or into the walls, there's no way to tell)
and he's specifically shown later helping Susie set up Noelle's room:
I feel like this was probably done in anticipation of any bad fandom takes where people try to say Susie made him move out so Noelle could move in, so it's made more obvious that that's not what happened.
decided i had to do something with this stupid green chud so i whipped up a new ref sheet for all of you to enjoy! after my full reacquisition of relsay, i decided i want to fully show off the direction i wanna take him in, so i hope you all enjoy the slightly revamped interpretation of the character <3
Also, I'm thinking about naming this au properly, and am thinking about going with the name "Darkest Town", however if you all have better suggestions PLEASE dont hesitate to let me know!|
Finally, this post also features pixel perfect versions of all of Relsay's walksprites for those who want it
