Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

I want to break it down a bit to see what this says about Chara, assuming this IS Asirel talking about Chara.

Chara is often known for being associated with going towards the limits, whether it be with water

Flowers

And we as the players can only meet Chara after we push the world to its limit

For whatever reason, Chara seems to almost have a compulsion to push towards the limit. When it came to the water, it doesn't matter how thirsty they are. Rather, they care more about efficency than their own feelings. With the flower, it seems that Chara is barely holding it, yet they still do for whatever reason. The reason we can even see Chara in the Genocide ending is because we kept giving them more and more power until we destroy everything, spare 1 monster and you will get the Queen Alphys ending and you will never see Chara outside of the narration.

Before this I always saw this as an extension of perfectionism and possibly a trauma response similar to Flowey's. Chara had a lot of unintentional pressures while living with the Dreemurrs, being built up as the hope for humans and monsters and were idolised by others (especially Asriel), which ultimately feed into their Martyr complex and the plan to save monster kind through their own sacrifice.

While we don't know how Chara's life was like before the Dreemurrs the game often hints at the fact that they have been abused by humans. The need to go beyond the limits can be a byproduct of their abuse whether it was due to punishment for achieving less than perfection, a way to gain parental attention/love, or a way to look after themself was unclear.

However, this letter starts talking about why Chara did this, invincibility. They don't want to feel hurt or have someone hurt. They want to be protected, and as a result, their everyday behaviour reflects this wish. Which honestly connects really well with my previous assumptions. Chara needs to push things to its limits, reflecting Flowey's desire to know everything. It is a trauma response for them. Chara fears being hurt in any capacity, so they are willing to push everything, including themselves, to its limits even if it ultimately hurts them in the end. Flowey does a similar thing as a need for control, he needs to know everything and be the one in control of everything because he fears that once he loses that power he is going to be hurt or worse.

It is interesting to note that both Chara and Flowey are associated with the number 9, perhaps Asriel started mimicking Chara's need for protection as a response to his death.

It is a depressing situation for both kids. However, it is nice to see them grow and accept what happened during the pacifist route (if you believe in narra-Chara theory).

I just got the UTDR newsletter today and

CHARA LORE?????????

You know, I am convinced that "Once upon a time" is Chara's theme. This song plays:

In Chara's backstory + is continued with Asriel's memory during his fight (which plays "His theme")

With the Dreemurrs (Asgore and Toriel's home and Asriel's boss fight)

In relation to the hopes of monsters, something Chara died for (ie. Breaking the barrier and when everyone is together after Asriel fight)

During the Judgement Hall (Chara is known for the idea of consequences, so I believe it fits)

And when the monsters talk about Chara and Asriel in new home (the two most prominent songs are "Once upon a time" and "His theme")

He has his priorities straight.

I feel like people should talk about this more.

You know, Cartman getting inspiration from watching Hannibal explains a lot of his actions in "Scott Tenorman Must Die"

[cudddlecat]

Ngl, I don't know why Kyle was telling Cartman not to be an asshole. Like if I was sitting next to a dude with a deadly and contagious virus and he coughed/sneezed on me, I would be super mad.

[cudddlecat]

Very subtle moment, but I love how Cartman starts smiling when given a toy, but quickly goes back to frowning when Chef tries to go back on topic. I genuinely believe he forgot what they were meant to be doing for a second.

I have been rewatching south park and I am on season 4 right now.

I just noticed something insane though, Cartman seem to start showing signs of psychosis since season 4.

In the episode "Timmy" Cartman is the only one experiencing the side effect, which causes him to see a little pink Christina Aguilera monsters

.

After this episode, there has been a shift in Cartman's behaviour. He seems to start becoming more paranoid and delusional. For example, in "Cartman joins Nambla" he starts accusing Stan and Kyle for taking away his 'adult friends' and starting a government conspiracy against him without any evidence

And in "Something you can do with your finger" he immediately assumes his dream is a sign from God.

Also, I am starting to notice that Cartman is becoming way more aggressive. Just the way he acts in both of these episodes is bizarre compared to earlier. He is becoming quick to temper and is easily agitated by others.

Let👏Kyle👏Kill👏

I was expecting Cartman to be the one shooting, but honestly, I love that it was Kyle. It reminds me of the early seasons

Edit: I just realised both scenes have Stan be hesitant to shoot, while Kyle is being the complete opposite

I was watching the obesity special and I realised Cartman tried to grab Kenny before he got thrown out of the car.

I know I haven't posted in a while and some of you guys are waiting patiently for me to write stores and update, I even deleted one of them during this time. I am sorry for that. I can't really blame it on stress or work, it is just me. As much as I want to write them I just can't be bothered to do it for whatever reason. I am also losing interest in Omori which makes things even worse. It is not like I dislike Omori or anything, it is just hard to engage with the fanbase when I disagree with many of the ideas and interpertations that I see and how characters are portrayed in this fandom. It is sour and bitter sweet to feel this way when I have so many ideas to share, but struggle with getting it on paper. I feel like my AI story is both an apology and a gift for you guys who stick by my stories. Sorry.

[cudddlecat]

It finally got fixed! Yay! Can't wait to start posting again.

My device broke, so I am unable to post, sorry for being behind.
