ok alphys was a character ahead of her time and too good for this damn fandom honestly. she isn't some evil gaslighting lying cringey manipulator who only exists as comic relief for the love of god look at her with eyes less poisoned by cynicism and irony. she is a love letter to... well, a lot of things. a love letter to "cringey" people, to video game fans, to people who try to drown their sadness in fiction. she's so achingly relatable to so many of us that it really feels like toby knows his demographic like the back of his hand. we've all met someone like alphys. maybe we are that someone- awkward, nerdy, can't get over their past mistakes, terrible at phone calls, far more eloquent online than in person, only wants to make people like them to distract them from the fact that they don't like themself. normally, this character archetype is the butt of a great deal of jokes- just a gross nerd who needs to touch grass. but alphys is different. she is, as i said, a love letter. she is one of the best-developed and most complex characters in the game. her nerdiness isn't "fixed" or mocked, it's celebrated. her unabashed love for her interests and her 100% attitude is a big reason why undyne loves her. games, especially in 2015 and before, are not often so genuinely kind to characters like alphys! and in deltarune, too- alphys is still a nerd, despite not being nearly as traumatized as her undertale counterpart. her rambling about shows she loves is a constant across all universes, a fundamental and important and good part of who she is.

and i just think that's very kind, and very important.

Something's gotten into my game of Hades. Now they're trying to give me cards.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes really is one of them stories about how we can be devoured by our own art, about violence and patriarchy, about mirrors and people.

It's blood on the canvas. It's obsession. Talking about it at any length makes you sound like it's obsessive cast members.

It's good.

the signs as cryptic bad advice from lorelei and the laser eyes

ARIES: Never plow sideways, Signorina. TAURUS: Never trade your nails for sausage, Signorina. GEMINI: Even a bad letter will end up somewhere. CANCER: Sometimes, the truffle hog finds an unexpected rose. LEO: Even the greatest artists can make a bad omelette. VIRGO: The hammer has no directions for the anvil. LIBRA: If the flute blows smoke there will be no dance. SCORPIO: A happy bishop does not sadden the saint. SAGITTARIUS: Lending an umbrella to a salmon is a fool's errand. CAPRICORN: Don't trust a hiker who asks for a bigger forest. AQUARIUS: Always walk in a straight circle, Signorina. PISCES: To the goose all ducks are swans, Signorina.

lorelei and the laser eyes is a wonderful and beautiful game with an enthralling narrative and incredibly satisfying puzzles. it has made me think deeply on the nature of art and its fair to say im a little haunted by it. there is also a piss meter

All that said, if I can vent to someone or if you have happy things to distract with or just wanna start a conversation about like anything I'm into so I can stop thinking so weirdly please lemme know...

I hate when I'm up too late and sad and start trying to grapple with like. Lost relationships and shit I never got closure on and I know not to trust any decisions my brain makes at 12 am but I'm still trying to Fix Things I Genuinely Cannot Fix.

I think if a genie suddenly appeared and gave me three wishes. I would immediately wish that a certain person wasn't involved with the Mean Girls parody so Sorry could have released the gothcicle cut. And then, idk, I'd wish to end world hunger or something. But Gothcicle would come first.
