Although I have read the blurbs about them, how are blaster bitties and monster frisks and charas like? As in what are they exactly like and is there any more info you can give me? As well as monster frisk and chara heights?
Lets see I will put this below the cut as it will likely get pretty long
For the blaster bitty physically they are around 5 to 7 inches. that is usually around palm sized from fingertip to wrist. Their skulls are surprisingly smooth to the touch and they will be more than happy if you pet them. They are quite expressive both in movements and facial expressions, and their vocal range is amazing in ways that you can probably work out rudimentary language with them.
The bitty come in two colors traditional bone or bleached bone and black/black gray. variations exist but are less common and usually come from influence with closer bonds to other bitty or sometimes the biggie themselves. They do not develop mate bonds but have a platonic variation of said bond with each other or other bitty types. They do need to have at least 3 other blasters around with them or they will get anxious or even depressed. There are exceptions to this rule but they are very rare.
These bitty reproduce through an unknown means. More or less you will just wake up with a pint sized bitty blaster amongst the rest. This of course only happens if there are other blasters around. if its a blaster and other bitty they have bonded with there will be no baby blasters. they also do not have a notable gender or sex in part because they do not reproduce sexually
They are as intelligent as any other bitty and we even teach them to read before they leave the shop. They are also quite the characters. So much personality packed into tiny little skulls. You will be able to tell them apart by personality alone if you never learn to tell them apart visually.
Blaster bitty are also a bit territorial and you will see them take care of their spaces watching over others and keeping an eye on strangers. They hate squirrels and they will fight birds if they are offended enough. This is made even more interesting by the fact that they have laser cannons like their larger counterparts. Its not life threatening to a biggie but it can hurt and is quite destructive to other things.
As for the monster kids
Monster Chara and Frisk are actually a tad shorter on average from their human bitty counterparts. They are quite laid back and go with the flow in most things... even if going with the flow leads to chaos. Frisk while brown can be found in a white variety.
Their fur despite looking soft is not as soft as you would expect. It sits in that interesting place between super soft and wiry. This allows them some natural protection and isolation. I suppose a fully domestic bloodline could produce bunny soft fur if given enough time and care.
They both are very magically inclined and can learn monster magics like the Dreemer bitty types can. They more or less represent all monster children variants so its up to external influence to lean them one way or another. It doesn't change too much but like any living person they learn to like/dislike other things.
Both Chara and Frisk more or less have the same personalities and temperaments as the other Frisk and Chara bitty do. They are mostly non Verbal for a good portion of their early years and depending on how your life whit the bitty goes they can either develop into confident outgoing people or remain quiet and laid back.
One of the good things about the wild formed bitty is that they develop more personality variations in ways standard manufactured bitty do not. I will cover that topic in its own post which I am working on currently.
Just remember each bitty is their own person and their lives are all different. just because one develops a like for something doesn’t mean they all have to
(on a more meta note. The sex/gender of your Frisk and Chara bitties are up to you. Our hope is to keep the... debate out of a blog meant for lighthearted fun)
That is all I can really think about for now if you have any particular questions that I did not cover do not hesitate to ask.
#ask#Bitty Bio#equaltaleau#I got sidetracked trying to figure out how to word this one#It was surprisingly hard#bitty have standards#but they are their own people and can develop differently#so they can be this but they can also be that#the world is pretty open with them#thank you for the ask#sorry for the late reply#Q&A

OKAY YOU CANT JUST DROP THE CONCEPT OF LUNAR ZODIAC COMPARISONS AND THEN NOT ELABORATE, PLS I LOVE THAT STUFF JUST DO WHATEVER CHARAS YOU FEEL LIKE, NO PRESSURE BB
Hahaha! Fair enough, I suppose. What if I went ahead and just did the brothers? Makes sense, dontcha think?
Maul seems to connect well to the Metal Dragon born on the hour of the Snake. This sign is one of action and strength. Those that fall within these years are demanding and direct. He knows what he wants and goddammit, he will get it. And because of his confidence in his strength and unfaltering energy, he may neglect to ensure safety on all fronts, leaving themselves open to attack from other, more cunning sources. He needs a goal. His worst fear is to be left without some sort of goal, as snakes often do, though he is much more forthcoming in their desires. In relationships, you will never be left wondering how he feels. He’s honest with his emotions and believes stupid games are a waste of time. As a Metal Dragon, he’s the most strong-willed, and borders on critical when it comes to work. He’s impatient with lazy or foolish people, and will risk his life on what he believes in. There’s little point in trying to prevent him from doing so. Though being born in the hour of the Snake, there is an element of cunning and precision brought into his plans, and he becomes overambitious with the directions he takes. However, the snake’s charm often masks these traits, leading many to follow in his wake. This sign is most compatible with the Monkey, though will also find success with Tigers, Rabbits, Roosters, Horses, Sheep, and Boars. Relationships with other Dragons and Oxen will be strained. This sign is not compatible with the Dog.
Savage is probably a Metal Dog born in the hour of the Tiger. The Dog sign is a particularly loyal sign, seeking to aid those close to him when they are in need of him. He seeks to meet others halfway in their work and holds a deep sense of what he believes is right. He isn’t one to leave those he’s connected with easily, and it isn’t often that he directs his outbursts to anyone personally. Like the Tiger, his anger comes in energetic flashes and may die just as quickly, though the reasons are much different. He wants to categorize people, often in terms of friend and foe, with very little grey area. He has to be able to determine if he can truly trust you before he relaxes in your presence. To those he dislikes, he can be distant and cold, constantly suspicious of when and where they may wind up attacking without much warning. He’s always prepared for a fight and won’t hesitate to protect what he has even from people he knows well. This sign is a strong one and can take a lot of pressure before racking under it, and can weather hardships without much detriment to his well-being. As Metal Dog, he’s particularly stubborn in his convictions, but will in turn dedicate unwavering loyalty and devotion to something he believes is worth the effort. He certainly is not indecisive and chooses sides without much deliberation. Being born in the hour of the Tiger, he is particularly active and energetic, which may lead him to being more impatient than other Dogs, but it also creates a more determined and passionate person. This sign is most compatible with Horses, Rabbits, and Tigers. He will get along well with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, Boars or other Dogs. He is not compatible with Roosters, Dragons, or Sheep.
Feral is a Wood Sheep born in the hour of the Monkey. The Sheep is one of the softer, well-tempered signs of the zodiac. He’s sincere in his emotions and easily overtaken by sad stories or even people. He’s shy and understanding, finding it extremely easy to forgive the faults of others. He detests fighting, and is not straightforward about what upsets him. Instead, he’d rather clam up and sulk rather than outright tell you what’s wrong. Confrontations are not his strong suit, and at times, his roundabout tendencies may become tiresome. He’s a homebody at heart and wants something established to be able to come home to whenever he can. You have to show him you care, even if it takes some harsher interaction to pull the truth out of him, for him to feel safe. And he never forgets special dates, either. Those particular dates stick in his mind permanently, and he expects that you at least try to remember as well. But this sentimental nature may be simple trickery as well. He’ll ask for ridiculous things, yet right before you tell him “no,” you see the sad, innocent look on his face and completely forget what you were about to say. As a Wood Sheep, he’s very thoughtful and good-humored, yet he’s also mindful of those around him, leading him to become much of a people-pleaser. He’s steadier and softer, with high morals and a strong sense of trust to those close to him. As an hour of the Monkey, he’s likely to take more action to direct his desires where he wants. He is also more likely to be optimistic than other Sheep. This sign is most compatible with Horses, Boars, Tigers, and Rabbits. He will get along well with Monkeys, Dragons, Roosters, Snakes, and other Sheep. Tension is highest with Rats, Oxen, and Dogs.
Bonus: Thrawn is most likely a Water Ox born in the hour of the Rabbit. Oxen are dependable, calm, and extremely methodical. He is patient and works tirelessly, which makes him excellent for positions of authority. He is logical and frighteningly intelligent, and while he is by nature an introvert, his confidence in himself and his mind allows him to become an eloquent and forceful speaker if the need arises. He is systematic and follows the flow of set paths mostly with a respect for tradition. He climbs ladders to where he needs to be simply through dedication and work. In relationships, it may take him time to develop feelings, and even his admission of this may be less than poetic. Even still, placing your trust in him is a wise decision, for he will never leave you disappointed. He more patient than most, meaning that if he loses his temper, it’s been a long time coming and very unlikely to be over a small matter. As Water Ox, he is more realistic than idealistic. He’s practical with his desires, though that doesn’t stop him from being ambitious with his goals. He’s more flexible than other Oxen and won’t be to upset if asked to bend the rules a bit for the sake of the project. He’s a multitasker by nature and can work on multiple things at once with little difficulty. As an hour of the Rabbit, he’s just as stubborn as all the others, but he is much more diplomatic and discreet about his disdain. He’s more refined and polished than the other Oxen and is known to collect antiques and art, and isn’t overly fond of strenuous work. This sign is most compatible with Roosters, Rats, and Snakes. He will get along well with Dragons, Rabbits, Horses, Boars, Monkeys, and other Oxen. He is not compatible with Sheep or Tigers.

Howza bout some Father's day headcanons for Father's day, featuring the Frans and Papara kids, featuring Vivaldi, Corbel, and perhaps Banzai and Cambria?
So, I like to think that UT Frisk hid her pregnancy from Sans because she had a plan - she wanted to surprise her husband on Father’s Day with a card to give him the big news.
But Sans already knew that she was pregnant. He sensed the tiny SOUL in her stomach the moment it had formed enough to be detectable, and it took every ounce of his willpower not to burst into happy tears when he realized what that meant. However, Frisk didn’t approach him about the subject, and he knew that Frisk had to know that she was pregnant, so he decided to wait it out and let her approach him on the subject.
So when he got the card, he had to pretend that the news was a complete shock to him, but the joy he expressed was entirely genuine.
Every year, Sans always ensures that Frisk gets the entire weekend off so they can spend their time together as a family. She may be the ambassador, but Sans has some authority too and has a way of smoothing these things over. Little Vivaldi is learning his tricks too - she’s gonna be just like her dad when it comes to these sorts of things.
Now for the Underfell Frans family - Sans spends the entire day with his wife and kids, and he’s loving every second of it. He tries to see that they do something a little different each year, whether they’re taking a trip somewhere or hanging around at home, but there’s always hot dogs somewhere during the day - and lots of mustard.
Undertale’s Papara family does outdoorsy stuff, since all three of them love it. Even before Chara fell down into the Underground, her one joy in life was nature and exploration, and that hasn’t changed - she and Papyrus take their son camping, and Pap likes to show off how much his cooking has improved through the years by cooking out - even Sans has to admit that by the time his little bro is a dad himself, he’s gotten so good that Grillby might have some competition.
Papyrus in Underfell, now he tries to do traditional ‘dad’ stuff during Father’s Day, and it’s hilarious. And also more than a bit awkward because some of what he’s doing seems so forced, but instead of them finding it painful to watch, it just makes his wife and son laugh, and he’d take that over them being disappointed any day. As the years go by, he relaxes a lot more and the activities seem a lot more casual and natural.

do you have any ideas of what would b a better no mercy run? THIS ISN'T LIKE SAYING YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE IT IF YOU DON'T OR ANYTHING i just legitimately am interested if u do :0
youtube
mood setting music. And yes I have thought about it intensly but as I am not toby fox this is more of how I think a general no mercy run could work in a game like undertale
First off I think it'd be interesting if there were harder parallels to true pacifists idea that the player and frisk are distinct, but in that the NMR is ENTIRELY on you. That at this low level frisk has no say or independence of anything, that your every action in this run is indicative of you and not of frisk. Chara lightly does this with the "since when were you the one in control?" line but it'd be co if the game sort of massaged that fourth wall breaking stuff in more and making frisk feel like a zombie being dragged along for your enjoyment of seeing them kill and entirely break down any suspension of disbelief that any of this is a in canon thing. I enjoy when games with a genuine option to kill make sure you understand that the character never agreed to this.
Second, entirely get rid of MTT being played as a joke. He had a lot of potential for giving more emotion to the mo mercy run, like with Undyne physically fighting back being turned to dust through her sheer.... Something... And even then dying. Alphys doesn't get much in the NMR so I think using MTT as a vessel for development for both of them in the story would've been cool, like how if you kill MTT in a neutral run alphys locks her lab up and kills herself. Like anything from him would've been cool as hell, but the most he gets is if you swing his house key in front of him and you get flavor text that he's "remembered what he's fighting for". There's so much that can be done with him! He is the monster of justice after all so it'd be cool if his fight had something to do with his deep sense of right and his genuine dedication to his family and alphys, or even just a moment of regret from him in his last moments of how he treated them following his stardom.
I think NPC encounters would also hit closer to home if they were still shown, instead of just an empty space with random encounters. Making Frisk have to search for monsters in houses or in buildings or running away would've been cool, or some even intentionally running towards you wanting to stop you would be an interesting turn compared to how relaxed and defeatest some are in pacifist/neutral.
Having the underground get set up with new spontaneous puzzles because that was their traditional way of protection too, with new NMR-specific puzzles you have to learn to advance would be a better "deterring" tactic to make the route hard without just making it tedious, too.
A little bit more story would just go a long way in NM without making it feel unfinished, it's devoid and lifeless nature with the lack of music and text is a really good device! But I think there can be story while still making it feel empty and unforgiving, you can toy with the player by sprinkling in some very obvious character motives and relationships and the hardship of the underground to guilt the player of their actions, especially since the game itself tries to tell you to play pacifist before any other route, so the player is already attached to the characters. Just using that to the advantage would've been really cool, and it's done with Undyne + papyrus really well, but nowhere else really.
I could write a whole thing on how an actual NMR could go beat by beat but that's how I'd generally construct a better run to make it feel less boring and mediocre lol

Oh I would absolutely love to learn more about human magic!! And for a soulmate, would an S/O’s magic match their skelly soulmate? Or would it be unique to them?
So I can probably make several decently large posts on magic, both human and monster, but for now I'm going to try to do a concise (ish) post on where I'm pulling my HC's for magic from, how it works, and what it can do. I'll also probably include a bit on some known existent mages (cough Frisk/Chara cough), and you asked for some info on soulmates so I'll see what I can do with human souls, soulmates, and monster/human soulmates. (in my drafts I called this the “short version”, it will not be short)
So I'm largely basing human magic off the Mage system from the table-top pen-and-paper rpg Mage, part of the World of Darkness franchise. The Wiki for it has lots of good info and interesting lore if you wanna read into it.
It works in 'spheres' or nine branches/types of magic/facets of reality. Now I'm bending a lot of the lore so don't assume this is a perfect match for the Mage RPG. I used it as a template to work from, and have incorporated some of the lore, but I've also dismissed and altered other large chunks of Mage RPG canon. (basically if you play Mage or read the wiki, don't @ me, I know it's “wrong” ok, I wanted it that way ;p)
Correspondence Essentially the “space” half of time/space. Covers things like teleportation, levitation, flying, and remote viewing. Combines with other spheres to create distance/ranged/area effects. Also allows for the creation of sub-space. It is limited however, in that it only covers space. To move a body, one must combine it with Life. For an object, Matter. Correspondence is a sphere that is fairly easy to learn the basics, and extremely difficult to master.
Entropy Chaos, Order, Luck, Destiny, Creation, Destruction. The natural order of things. The ability to sense and manipulate probability and patterns. Allows one to tap into the natural entropic cycle. The more complex an “object” the easier it is to break. Much like Correspondence, one must be able to use the other applicable sphere(s) to achieve an effect. A tricky sphere to use and control. It tends to be a bit resistant to manipulation by most Mages.
Forces The sphere that allows manipulation of “energy”. Light, heat, vibration, radiation, gravity. While this can be done instinctively, that tends to be sloppy and dangerous. The more one understands about the energy/force they're trying to manipulate the better off they'll be. However one should be mindful that they do not allow the knowledge gained to restrict them. Magic cares not for what human science says is or isn't true. How easy the sphere is to work with depends largely on how much effort one puts into learning the background knowledge. Or how how willing they are to risk brute forcing it.
Life Anything living, or with life energy. Can be used to heal, or unheal. Modify biological entities. Create disease or grow plants. Restore youth. Life as a sphere has many wonderful, helpful applications, and just as many horrifying ones. One can heal and cure and fix, but also cause untold damage. To fully grasp and master life, one must understand how life connects to itself, and the cycles in which it exists. The chain between predator and prey. How simple it is to learn is largely dependent on how much understanding you already have of the subject you're trying to alter.
Matter Non living/inorganic things. Also covers all the elements on the periodic table. Works very well when combined with other spheres. Entropy to break an object, Forces to animate inanimate things, Correspondence to move objects, Time to alter them temporally. Allows the Mage to alter but also to see and understand the make up of an object. Arguably one of the easiest to learn and use, given that it inherently allows you to pick up understanding of what you're working with on the go.
Mind Covers consciousness and how a person perceives reality. Knowledge, imagination, emotion. Can be used to alter memory, thinking, emotions, perception, and concentration among other things. Mind is a bit different from other spheres in that one does not need an understanding of how the “mind” works to utilize it well. Talent in this sphere comes down to mostly practice and natural inclination.
Prime Primal Energy, the raw magical force of the world. Often considered an almost Holy Power. A Prime Mage can detect/sense magic, enchant objects or living things, cut off another Mage's access to magic and it is often used to bolster or power other magics. Prime is the source from which all other magic springs. Having skill in Prime is tricky as there's no deeper understanding to help you, beyond the understanding that you can't understand. That it is a power beyond you, and can strike back at any moment.
Spirit Something connected to but separate from the concept of souls. The culmination of hope, emotion, and thought. A skilled Spirit Mage can touch or even pass through the wall between the tangible world, the void, and what lies beyond. Allows one to reach out, speak to, and interact with spirits lost to the physical world. A Mage less morally inclined could even, with enough power, subjugate those beings. Using and mastering the Spirit sphere requires a strong understanding and sense of self, while also being able to release physical/material ties and limits.
Time Time is sort of self explanatory. Though time as a concept is not a straight forward as many assume. Very much subjective to the observer. A Time Mage is more aware than most that while time naturally moves forward (mostly), it contracts and dilates, whirls and twists. It jumps, and branches, and curves back on itself. A Time Mage can know the exact time at any time, and sense distortions in the time line. They can slow time, rewind or loop, create anchor (save) points, and with enough skill they can outright time travel or exist outside the timeline entirely. To master Time is to understand it as an esoteric and inexact science.
Humans pull their magic externally. This is both more freeing and more restricting than monsters. They can do just about anything they can imagine, assuming they can figure out how, have the respective understanding and magical inclinations, and the world allows it. Sometimes whatever source, force, whatever, the magic comes from, disagrees with a Mage. And the backlash can be catastrophic. And while a Mage cannot “drain” themselves to the point of death, they can over channel, and over load. The end result is the same.
Related Side Note ; Monster magic is much more free form and almost entirely “intent” based. This means technically any monster can learn any magic type. However some souls are better suited for certain types than others. Some just can't muster up the intent needed. They also tend to not be able to do things quite on the scale that Mages can. Monster magic is pulled from themselves. It's a part of their soul, and fueled by their soul. They have a much more limited pool. Mind you, some monsters still have immense pools of magic they can pull from, and high regen rates, but still ultimately are more limited than humans. (Side note, if a monster uses up their “pool” the can continue using magic, but its a good way to die very quickly as it drains on their souls directly)
As for existing Mages, the obvious would be Frisk/Chara. Correspondence and Time. Possibly Prime. I'm actually unsure on Spirit, but leaning towards no. If you want more on that lemme know. I could discuss it a fair amount I think.
The other part of your question ; Soulmates.
There are essentially three types of bonds that fall under what most would consider “soulmates”. Kindred Spirits, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames. Any of these bonds can be platonic, romantic, or anything in between. Friends, lovers, rivals.
Kindred Spirits – Compatible. Someone with who you find forming an easy, comfortable bond. Often very similar to ourselves in a comforting way. Someone to whom we easily relate and connect to.
Soulmates – Complementary. A near perfect resonation. The traditional idea behind most soulmate lore. One can meet multiple soulmates in their lives, though they're not quite as common as Kindred Spirits.
Twin Flames – Twin Flames are the other half of an incomplete soul. A perfect mirror. Both the same and opposite in everywhere. Twin Flames rarely exist in the same world at the same time. When they do they are often both drawn to and repelled by one another. It is a bond existing beyond defining, beyond platonic/romantic labels. You're greatest ally, worst enemy, deepest love, your Twin Flame, is undeniable bound to you no matter what.
While Kindred Spirits and Soulmates won't necessarily have “matching” magic, their magic is often compatible/complementary to some degree in it's natural leanings.
If you want more info on anything specific, let me know. 💜

Self Indulgent Self Insert Fic, Part 2
Part one here
--
“Why’d you shoot fire at him?” I ask, partially to fuck with her and partially out of genuine curiosity. He hadn’t been attacking me, after all, so it was odd that she’d intervene. What did he do to get her to set him on fire just for being near a human?
Toriel purses her lips, and I note that her hands are clenched tightly. Must’ve been bad, then.
“He hides a wicked nature behind a congenial facade. Please, my child, keep your trust out of his reach,”
Oh, she’s just as formal in person! That’s honestly kinda cool. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one I know who’s ever used ‘congenial’ in a sentence, but for her it just seems natural.
“I definitely have more questions about that, but first, can you not call me your child, please? We literally just met,” Seriously, it’s weird. I know she’s grieving, but spontaneously adopting every child that falls without their approval or consent is kinda messed up.
If I manage to free the monsters, the first thing I’m doing on the surface is sticking them all in therapy. Seriously, these guys are worse than me, and I really don’t say that lightly.
Toriel’s face falls slightly, though she makes a valiant effort to hide it. (Seriously, what were you expecting me to say?)
“A-Ah, I suppose that is reasonable. May I ask your name, then?” Ok, people who are definitely reading this because I am 100% egotistical enough to assume y’all want to hear about my life. Listen up, because I’m going to say this as many times as the author wants me to. I know this is normally the part where I’d say ‘y/n’ but I want to make it clear that y/n is for reader inserts.
I am a self insert, which I know because no reader insert would ever have this much personality, those boring fucks. As a self insert, I am free to call myself Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and dye my hair black with purple streaks if I so desire.
(I don’t, I really don’t, My Immortal is a fun read if you want something to laugh at but no way in hell am I emulating that MC in any respect other than our shared enjoyment of MCR.)
ANYWAY, back to my conversation with goat mom! I’m not saying my real name because I’ve resolved that if I ever end up getting isekai’d I’ll go by my middle name, due to its general awesomeness. (My first name is also awesome, but it has a different vibe and aesthetics are everything in fantasy worlds)
“My name is Solena,” I say, responding after a reasonable pause in actual time and a weirdly long one in mental time. Now, my name looks like it would be pronounced ‘sol-een-a’ but it’s actually ‘sol-ain-uh’ which I’m stating because again, I’m fully confident that these thoughts are being written down somewhere by some enterprising author who is also very likely me from another timeline because no one else in existence is fully capable of conveying the Wonder that is Me.
“Thank you for telling me, Solena. My name is Toriel, and I will be your caretaker while you are in these ruins,” Toriel says, conveniently leaving out the fact that she’d prefer to keep me in these ruins forever, probably because I’ve already demonstrated some leeriness towards her.
Now, I could bring up Flowey again, seeing as her explanation for fireballing him was more than a little lackluster and I’m still pretending not to know this world inside and out, but I already know stuff about Flowey and there are things I’m significantly more curious about.
“Cool! Toriel, got it. Hey, if you live in a cave underground, how did you get such a nice dress? Do you have farms down here? Livestock? Do you harvest fibers from animal monsters?”
Haha, you thought I’d ask more about the magic? Hell no! I’m way more curious about how society functions down here!
Toriel does a double take, her expression implying that she’s revising all of her expectations towards me. (Again)
“There are small plant farms in some areas of the underground. We have no livestock down here, as we were delivered to this cave system in a bit of a rush, but we do harvest some fibers from willing monsters, yes. How did you guess it?”
Let me tell you, the high I’m getting right now from those theories being correct? Very similar to what happened recently in the BNHA comic with Dabi’s true identity. I am living for this, just absolutely vibing with this new knowledge.
“Well, I don’t see how else you’d do it. How do you get the dyes?” Because I don’t see them having access to chemical dye, and it’s not like humans trash a lot of the stuff unless this is one of those illegal dumping spots, so what gives?
“Excellent question, Solena! There are professional tailors who transfer dye from clothes that fall from the surface! Many also simply wear clothes acquired from the trash, though mine are hand-crafted as befits-” She cuts herself off before she can let slip her (former?) royal status. I let it slide because I really don’t see a need to step on trauma landmines here.
“As befits someone who’s! Affluent! Anyway, we’ve entered the Ruins proper! There are many dangerous puzzles here, an old monster tradition, so I’ll need to focus more on guiding you!” Damn it, we’re at the first puzzle already? I completely missed the staircase room, which sucks because not only did I miss out on seeing one of my favorite rooms, I didn’t notice whether there was a save point!
Fuck!
I walk to the sign by the door. “Brave ones, foolish ones, both walk not the middle road. What’s that mean? I obviously get it in the proverbial sense, but it’s near this puzzle, so is it supposed to be a clue?”
It straight up took me until my second playthrough to understand that sign, man.
Toriel’s face just lights up. She looks absolutely delighted, and I remember that she’s always wanted to be a teacher.
“It is a misdirection! The sign tricks the reader into thinking about it metaphorically, when the answer is actually quite literal!” She demonstrates by stepping on all the buttons but the center two, before turning to smile at me.
“Oh, that’s genius! Because you’re supposed to ignore the tiles in the middle! It works as a puzzle while also having an easily remembered solution if you’re in a hurry!” It’s honestly my favorite puzzle in the game for that, even if you’re never given the opportunity to solve it yourself.
“That is exactly what I was thinking when I created it! It is wonderful to hear that the message came across to someone, even if my- my, ah, my friends had consistent difficulty with it!”
We continue chatting about puzzles as we walk into the next room.
Toriel explains the spike puzzle here and how you’re supposed to memorize the layout of the first room to safely traverse the spikes. She also explains that she locked the ‘incorrect’ spikes permanently in the ‘up’ position so that no one would get hurt, stating that puzzles should be fun, not dangerous.
Honestly, she’s giving way more exposition than she ever did in the game, probably because I’m a slut for knowledge. I only really half hear her explanation, though, because what comes next is going to be very important to knowing the kind of experience I’m going to have down here.
See, we haven’t gone down the hallway to the spike room yet, and I know full well there’s a Froggit waiting there to ambush me.
I have a few questions that this pseudo fight will hopefully answer.
One, are there options like there are in the game? Because if the battle system is the same, it could severely limit my choices when it comes to conflict resolution, especially if I have the same options as Frisk.
Two, do I have a narrator and is that narrator Chara? TwoA, do they have control over me in fights, as in some fics, or am I fully autonomous? TwoB, if they are here, are they evil or are they a person, because that’s also something the fandom intensely and frequently disagrees about. TwoC, can they hear my thoughts? I’m going with ‘probably not’ because I’ve made zero effort to exclude spoilers, but there's still a possibility and I need it confirmed. TwoD, can they hear thoughts deliberately directed at them? I hope so, it would be a huge pain to only be able to talk to them when no one’s around.
Three, are Froggits secretly cats because there’s a meme comic about that and I need it in my life.
With these thoughts in mind, Toriel and I turn down the hall, and the world goes black and white.

warnings: unhealthy relationship, forced marriage, cursing
Summary: a ficlet based off of this wonderful picture by @littlepigart
Dream smiles happily up at his other half - as Nightmare was currently sitting up in one of the lower branches of their home. A crown of yellow flowers that he has weaved himself rests crookedly on his head as he didn't want it getting tangled with his circlet "Moonbeam, would you please come down for a minute?" He is holding behind his back a crown of bright purple flowers that remind him of the other, and he wants to give it to Night.
Sure thing, Sunlight." Nightmare murmurs, marking the page of the book he was reading and swinging himself down onto the grassy ground, walking over to him "Did you need something?"
Dream shook his head and responded "Nope! I wanted to give you something, Night!" He holds out the carefully made flower crown for the other to take.
"Aww... Thanks... You know, the mortals give each other gifts like this when they're courting one another... You know that you don't have to do stuff like that... We're always going to be together." The young guardian of negativity pointed out logically.
"I... I know. But I want to marry you when I grow up!" The young positive spirit responded. They had only existed for a brief period, and he loved Nightmare deeply and truly. Dream was also sure that no matter what happened, he would always love Nightmare.
Nightmare went a bright shade of purple and hid his face in his hands after a couple of moments "I... I love you too, Dream. Once we're of age by Mortal standards, we'll get married alright?"
Dream beamed happily and nodded in response to that, purring contentedly as he hugged his other half. Nightmare hugged him back, smiling warmly and had begun to pet the top of his skull "We'll get married one day, Dream. That's a promise. And I try to keep my promises, especially to you. Do you want to have a big party, like some of the wealthier mortals, have?"
Dream shakes his head "No... I'd rather it be small... Filled only with people who we care about, and who cares for both of us... Maybe at the base of the tree? Wed exchange promises, wearing flower crowns that we've made each other... Maybe even getting rings- or carving or making each other! Maybe in the springtime, when the flowers are blooming and the meadow is really pretty?"
"Oh, that would be nice... Maybe at dusk, or at night, when the stars are out, and the moon is glowing softly?" Nightmare suggested with a small grin, seemingly wanting up further to the idea.
"Yeah! That sounds really nice!" Dream purred, content to cuddle in close with Nightmare. The villagers were celebrating some sort of holiday involving loved ones and family, so Dream had decided to spend the day with Nightlight. Although some of the villagers had seemed kind of disappointed to hear him say that for some reason.
Dream shook himself mentally as he snapped out of that memory - it was one of the memories he had held tight to his soul and treasured, even as any good time with Nightmare had become better sweet at best, as he had woken from a stasis spell and found himself a thousand years in the future, with his other half ruling a large swathe of the multiverse, and their home timeline a decayed, miserable and lifeless wreck. He had spent decades on the run, finding allies and losing some of them just as quickly, fleeing from the dust-hungry tyrant that chased after him, fighting the other only when he absolutely had to, as the power imbalance on raw power alone was laughably terrifying. Those innocent promise and innocuous plans... He had never expected them to be fulfilled - especially in such a ghoulish caricature.
Nightmare's generals and top people filled most of the neatly arranged rows - but he and his dearest friend sand allies had been captured weeks ago. Nightmare had offered him a choice-
Which had been no true choice at all. Watch as his friends get killed one by one, or marry Nightmare, promising to never again knowingly or willingly work against him ever again, in exchange for the freedom of his friends. But several of Dream's allies were here - recently captured, but Nightmare had promised that they would be set free and escorted out of Nightmare's territory as soon as the ceremony - and the afterparty - was over... And the worst thing about it was that Dream probably wouldn't have had to be coerced like this, anyways. If Nightmare had just asked to marry him, he might have said yes, as he loves the other even in this awful moment.
His wedding outfit all black. He was wearing a black button down shirt with a matching colored bow tied around the collar, black slacks and a pair of black socks and black formal shoes. Even the veil he was wearing - thin and see-through as it was, was black. The only bit of color on him was his golden circlet, which rested where it usually did on his head. His eye lights were dimly lit circles, and his expression was a neutrally-resigned expression. Dream could see his captured friends standing on one side, their arms tied behind their back - were they... Were they part of the wedding party? Nightmare's lieutenants were lined up on the opposing side, and everyone looked sharply dressed in all black - hints of gold in his friend's outfits.
He shut off his eye lights briefly as he heard the wedding march begin to play, and he walked down the carpeted strip of flooring, noting with a silent sigh that there were magical cameras filming this. So this was being broadcasted across Nightmare's domain, was it? Fantastic. Not only were there dozens of Nightmare's minions watching this spectacle go down, thousands if not millions more were seeing this live. He takes careful, measured steps down so as to not trip over his own feet, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of so many enemies. He takes his place next to and slightly behind Nightmare, looking at the Angelfell Sans who has been conscripted to officiate the wedding.
Dream can't really focus on the words that the other is saying - not when Nightmare is so close and he can feel one of the other's tendrils messing with his veil, acutely aware of what is shortly to come and doing his best to remember his vows, repeating them over and over in his mind.
The ceremony felt like it took forever and also as if it was over in a blink of an eye light as the Angelfell Sans stated "If there is anyone here who has any reason to state why these two shouldn't get married, speak now, or forever hold your peace."
the silence in the room was deafening, and Dream wondered if someone would be foolish enough to speak. From the expressions he could see on Blue's and Ink's faces, they had some choice words. He shook his head minutely at them - catching and keeping eye contact with an openly infuriated Red and Nebula - who looked like he was about to pass out or vomit.
The Angelfell Sans spoke up "You may now speak your vows, and give each other the floral crowns and rings to signify your commitment to one another."
Dream blinked for a moment of confusion, turning as a Havenfell Frisk and a Horrorswap Chara had come up behind them, one holding a pillow with two... Two flower crowns. One made of golden flowers, the other violet that reminded him so much of the flowers he had once given to Nightmare, so long ago- and he recognized the wood that those rings were made from. The sight of both things nearly sent him to his knees, sobbing.
Nightmare's smirk was broad as he grabbed the violet flowers with surprisingly gentle hands, gesturing for Dream to kneel, which he did so, trembling only a little as he did so "The flower crowns are a tradition of our home timeline, which I know you are aware, but no one else is. I made this crown while thinking of you, my dearly beloved. Long have I yearned for the two of us to become one in this way, and I love you dearly. I give you this crown to symbolize my care for you, and the promise that my love and faithfulness towards you will be as unbroken as an endless circle." Nightmare pauses for dramatic effect as he takes the wooden ring - carved with runes that Dream can only begin to guess their nature of "For a more... Widely accepted vow and symbol: I promise to LOVE and protect you, for better and for worse, as long as we both shall live." He slides the ring on Dream's left finger, as is a tradition for a surprising number of AUs, and helps him up to his feet. Every word of it sounding like cruel mockery in Dream's metaphorical ears.
Tears shine in his eye sockets as he grabs the golden flowers, the shaking in his hands getting worse. As he had expected, Nightmare does not kneel, forcing Dream to go up on his tiptoes, his arms extending upwards - as Nightmare is over a foot taller than he is and he speaks, praying that his voice doesn't sound as terrified and miserable as it sounds to himself "With this crown... I offer to you my love and fidelity. I will stay by... Your side. Long have I yearned for the two of us to be as one, and I... I love you with all my... With all my heart." Tears threaten to spill down his cheeks, but the lights are bright, everyone is watching and he can feel the cameras glare down at him. He can't slip now - he doesn't know what Nightmare will do if he does. He allows himself a couple of seconds as he grabs the ring, fingers trembling worse now. "I promise to love, honor and obey you, in sickness and in health. I swear to protect and care for you and those whom you care for... For as long... As long as both of us will live."
Both he and Nightmare say at the same time, and Dream feels the magic bind him to his word, the ring tightening a little on his finger "So mote it be, from this moment to the end of the multiverse." he feels his magic and Nightmare's flare for a moment.
There is a pause and the Angelfell Sans states "You may now kiss your spouse."
Nightmare does not hesitate to scoop him up with a tendril around the waist, bringing hip up and closer still, so that the two of them can kiss. Dream distantly hears a whimper. He's not sure if he is the one who's whimpering, or if one of his friends is. There is a lot of clapping and shouted congratulations to Nightmare. Dream feels dizzy and unsure as he is whisked off to the afterparty, held firmly in Nightmare's tentacles. They go through the traditional dances together before he is introduced to every unfamiliar face who had been invited by Nightmare to the wedding. Name sand faces blended together in his mind, and the small, fake smile on his face that he uses, and the false-cheer in his voice breaking his own soul piece by piece. His friends have been corralled in a corner by Nightmare's lieutenants, and the party goes very well.
Once all but the wedding party have left, hours upon hours later, Dream sort of collapses into Nightmare, and murmurs quietly "You... You promised. Please? Please... Nightmare please!"
"What? What did that fucker promise in return for this farce?!" Blue hisses, struggling a little in his restraints.
"Dream and I have promised each other that we would wed centuries ago. Long before your timeline was barely a thought in a creator's wild fever dreams." Nightmare snapped, glaring a little at Red "But as agreed, once the wedding was over, I would send your friends home." With a wave of his hand, Ink, Blue, Red, Outer, and Comic are unbound and fall through separate portals into different timelines. Surprise, horror, and shock are on their faces as they tumble and fall out of sight. "Now, I can tell that you are tired from the day's events... As am I - let us be off and rest together in our marriage bed." Nightmare purred, his tendrils wrapping more firmly around Dream as he teleported off to the castle - using a portal as he had not used the timeline his main base was in for them to wed.
A wave of exhaustion crashes through Dream and he nods, the low positivity of this new timeline not helping anything whatsoever "As... As you wish... Husband..." A single tear runs down his face as his eye lights fade out as Dream slips from consciousness. he has no idea what his future will hold, and he is terrified at the prospect of what is to come.

"Charmolipi: a feeling of joy and sorrow" - Fuji GFX 100 from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Charmolipi is the perfect word and title for this film. It is an old Greek work made up of 'chara' (joy) and 'lipi' (sadness). There is no equivalent word in English, it means a feeling of happiness and sadness at the sad time.
This is the most personal film I have ever made. It was filmed whilst I was on holiday in what has essentially become my second home due to my connection to it, Skiathos. I set out to make a film that explained why I love going there, to show the beauty of this island in the best way I could. I also needed to show why it is a place that can make me profoundly sad and after each visit these two feelings become so entwined it is hard to feel one without the other. That is what the goal of the film was. Events took over though and it became something much more that was planned.
Initially it will feel like a bit of a travelogue, but it really is not. You are meeting "characters" here. Different locations, places, things and cats that all play a big role within the film as it progresses. As I am your eyes I am also a character, there are people in it but they, bar a couple of people, are all very much in the background. There is a reason for this and it's something you will understand by the end.
It is hard to define what specific genre this film is. It is not a documentary but in many ways it is because it is real, it tells a story, an evolving one but it's not a documentary in the traditional; sense. It's a very emotive film and as I mentioned this is very personal; 2 weeks though my eyes feeling what I feel conveyed with beautiful visuals and beautiful music. It is also very rich in natural sound.
There is no voice over and only about 10 words spoken visually on camera. The story is through the images and sound as well as the text that I sprinkle throughout the film.
I hope this film connects with you, it was a labour of love and means the world to me. It also took everything out of me both filming and reliving it again and again and again whilst editing it.
It was filmed with the Fujiflm GFX100 which I borrowed from Fuji UK for the trip. The film is about half handheld and half locked down tripod shots. No fancy pieces of gear. 99% was shot with the 45mm F2.8 and the 110mm F2, with variable NDs from Polar Pro. I did use the 23mm on a couple of cars shots but that was it. The camera was amazing. I loved everything about it. Maybe not the HD 60p as that wasn't very good, but the 4K image is just beautiful. It was all either shot with the Eterna profile or in F-Log and the Eterna LUT. All was modified with additional colour work in Premiere.
Audio was the Rode Video Micro into the camera and in some places the Zoom H2 with stereo shotgun microphone.
All music was from Audio Network through their new monthly subscription service. A full list of the tracks used is a bit further down audionetwork.com
If you could help the charity I would be so grateful. They do such amazing work to keep these beautiful animals fed and healthy. I haven't seen a Greek island with so many healthy looking cats, its a huge credit to them. Their website is skiathos-cats.org
I have made many films in Skiathos now and this is probably my favourite of them, in fact it could one of the films I am most proud of in my career. The Skiathos Kittens series is also very special to me because of the cats that I adopted who feature in it. You can see this series in this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list...
All music used is in chronological order:
“Elysian Fields” Bob Bradley, Christopher Wonfor “Bosque Renewed” Christopher Slaski “Near the surface” John Ashton Thomas “Unforseen Consequences” - Paul Mottram “Secret Beauty” Luke Richards “Piscine Dance” John Ashton Thomas “Reflecting" Christopher Slaski “Legacy Unfolds” Amie Doherty “Passage of time” Luke Richards “Starting Over” Amie Doherty “Claire De Lune” Claude Debussy. Arrangement David Tobin, Jeff Meegan, Julian Gallant, Rob Kelly “Falling in Air” Julie Cooper “Moment of Decision” Michael Levine, Bijan Olia, Charles Sicouri “Reunited” Luke Richards “Another Year” Chris Egan “Thoughtful conclusion” John Ashton Thomas

Undertale/Deltarune theory
the dark world is actually a game that Chara and Asriel created
more info under the cut because it’s very long
Now I understand this may sound far fetched at first but i do have somewhat of a basis for this
First of all the legend of this dark world is very similar to that of the underground with the darkners and lightners being stand ins for humans and monsters
and of course our two main heros (i’ll get to the third in a bit) are
a human and a monster how very interesting, of course the two of them would make each other the heros
next is the very aesthetic and the way that this world works. The lore and mechanics of this universe work much more similar to an rpg like final fantasy for example. The best showing of this is definitely the battle mechanics which is more of a standard rpg system then undertale was
you even have the traditional mage, tank, and leader. Now we know that Chara had fallen into the underground in 201X and from the fact that Asriel and Chara had a video camera and alphys has her anime that it’s not unlikely for our royal siblings to have come across games of this genre.
Next is the actual nature of the characters in this game as most people found throughout playing deltarune most of the npcs and enemies are based off of card suits/chess/checkers which are games that i’m pretty sure the two would’ve played as kids (and with an active imagination could be made into characters) other examples are the puzzle pieces, lego or lego like enemies and,
Seam!! who’s literally a stuffed animal!
Now that i’ve got that out of the way i’m gonna briefly talk about Lancer. This is more of a stretch then rest of my theory but considering the relative ages i think lancer character in Chara and Asriel’s game could very well have been based off a younger sans/papyrus just do to his general actions and mannerisms as well as his theme which resembles papyrus’s in composition and feel.
Last but certainly not least is a favorite new boy Ralsei! Now Ralsei since deltarune dropped has probably garnered the most questions with his name being an anagram for Asriel and all. I don’t believe this is Asriel however, I think it’s Chara or at least a manifestation of what Chara wishes they were, a good person, a monster, and Asriel’s true sibling, hense why they took the form of a goat monster and have a name you could say is “related” to Asriel. You may be saying now “but isn’t Chara an evil demon?” honestly? I say no at least not the original human Chara, it just doesn’t seem in Toby’s style to create a truly “evil” character and through this world and by extension Ralsei we are seeing the “good” side of Chara.
“Why are we able to access this world though? why is this “game” even real?” You might be thinking now and I can answer that at least somewhat. It’s mentioned by the Gaster followers in undertale that Gaster had “fell into his own creation” and while most people assumed that was the core I beg to believe that after Chara’s soul was collected in a similar container to the other six human souls and that is what shattered Gaster along with Chara and their memories (including the game) across space and time causing anomalies. But where is Gaster? I think i have a pretty good idea.
This place is erie as hell, tonaly different from the entire rest of the game, and the various holes in these cliffs feature a strange black goo leaking out. The eye puzzle’s solution is also described as
and who do we know who lives alone and is royalty that lives in this area?
Entering through the door is transition between the unsettling void Gaster may reside in and the fantasy world Chara and Asriel created that’s what separates Gaster and Chara characters who exist in the “real world” from Chara and Asriel’s fantasy.
a couple things i want to point out before i end this post is the fact that “hopes and dreams” are mentioned multiple times throughout the game and we all know who’s associated with that
and finally we have this little dialog from toriel at the end of chapter one
hmmmmmm red horns you say...
and although this is talking about Kris I can’t help but feel this may have also happened within our main undertale universe as many other things also appear there as well
tdlr: The dark world was created by Asriel and Chara, Chara’s “good” side is alive in the form of Ralsei, and Gaster caused the dark world and Ralsei to exist by manipulating Chara’s soul
anyways thats about it let me know if you read all the way through because i’d love to hear some feedback and constructive criticism

hello friends ! it is i , rumi , with my third and final chara ! i’m finally fulfilling my destiny insatiable need to play kim taehyung for the last few months , so i bring you him in the form of my little love bug 𝒚𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒂𝒆𝒌𝒉𝒚𝒖𝒏 ! baekhyun is a mix of lo-fi jams at midnight , sipping ginger tea on his balcony on a chilly summer morning , and wearing oversized clothing that swallows his little figure . also , pink haired tae is 100% baekhyun currently . i don’t make the rules . to make it easier , my disc.ord is 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧#6936 for plotting and chatting !
˗ˏˋ kim taehyung / he/him / twenty three . welcome to los angeles , yoon baekhyun ! the glitterati has been watching you . rumour has it you made your first mark in the industry seven years ago & that your net worth currently stands at $6.2m . it seems as though you’re enjoying being a singer & songwriter since relocating from sydney , australia . some might say you’d be a good fit for the glitterati due to your hollywood ranking being a solid #3 , & it helps that fans speak so highly of your regal & melodious ways . unfortunately , our sources cite that those closest to you aren’t particularly impressed with your diaphanous & venereal tendencies . / penned by rumi , 22+ , they/them , eastern , cancer , gore , & graphic violence .
TRIGGER WARNING(s): MENTIONS OF A TRASH BOYFRIEND, EMOTIONAL ABUSE, MANIPULATION, PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE & POOR WRITING.
name: yoon baekhyun. nickname(s): baek ( pronounced like ‘beck’ ). birthday: september 18th, 1995. zodiac: virgo. moral alignment: chaotic neutral. gender: cismale. sexual orientation: pansexual. romantic orientation: panromantic. height: 5′10″. hometown: sydney, new south wales, australia. nationality: korean-australian. ethnicity: korean. occupation: singer & songwriter. language(s) spoken: english & korean.
yoon baekhyun was born to jin-yeung and nari yoon, two creatives living in sydney, australia. the couple moved from seoul, south korea upon a job offer for nari, who became chief operating officer of the art gallery of new south wales. jin-yeung is the owner and chef of a little restaurant, so they lived a fairly cushy life. baekhyun is their only child, so he was very spoiled as a child.
growing up, baekhyun was a creative just like his parents, but he was more interested in music. while he was young, baekhyun’s parents got him into classes where he learned how to play both guitar and piano. he really excelled in his music studies, but he knew that he couldn’t rely on music one hundred percent.
so, baekhyun went through the motions of schooling. he was a little bit of an above average student, but not on genius level or anything. he worked hard to ensure that he would get into a good college, but he knew from a very young age that he wanted to go to a music school instead of a traditional school. baekhyun studied hard and practiced even harder, which ultimately led to his audition and acceptance into the sydney conservatorium of music.
during his time at ‘the con’, baekhyun met a few other students with whom he started the band, rosemary. with these friends, they practiced together and ultimately became like a little pack, especially as they wrote music with one another. they performed their original songs and covers all around sydney in underground bars or for very small venues, until their song ‘ sweater weather ’ propelled them into the spotlight.
they were this little quartet of students ranging from 17 to 20 ( with baekhyun being the youngest ) and within three semesters at the con, they were already in talks of having a record deal. baekhyun ended up having a bit of a hard talk with his parents, where he was going to have to drop out of school due to their sudden fame and insane schedule, but his parents were nothing more than supportive because he was chasing his dreams.
anyways, rosemary proceeds to release their followup single ‘ female robbery ’ which propelled their fame even further. during this time, they begin working on their first album. they decide to tease their fans with two eps titled ‘ i’m sorry... ’ and ‘ thank you ’ before releasing their full length album titled ‘ i love you ’ after seven months. barely eight months after the release of their debut album, rosemary released their third ep ‘ the love collection ’ and for the holidays, they released their mixtape ‘ #000000 & #FFFFFF ’.
now, while all of this is happening, a love is blossoming between baekhyun and rosemary’s lead guitarist ( i’ll give him a name later lol ). weirdly enough, fans liked the idea of baekhyun and the lead guitarist due to their interactions on stage, so when the news came out that they were officially a couple, all things were good. at least, in magazine interviews and on stage during their tour.
baekhyun and the guitarist had a seemingly happy relationship, but the guitarist was also very possessive over baekhyun. baek was still somewhat naive at that time, and with the guitarist being a smooth talker, he never really noticed how bad it was truly getting. he began to dictate what baek did, what he wore, how he sang their songs and even what he ate, but he made sure to not do it in front of their bandmates.
however, after seven tender months together, the guitarist slipped up when he lashed out at baekhyun for messing up a couple of lyrics in the studio, which their bandmates overheard. the other three confronted baekhyun, he tried to cover up for his boyfriend, but after realizing how he sounded while making excuses, he finally admitted to everything that was happening. the guitarist was kicked out of the band in the middle of the tour, and they continued without him.
it took baekhyun a while to fully recover from his relationship, and during that time he used the release of their second album ‘ wiped out ! ’ as a means of escape. the album was released while they were on tour, but once they returned home, the band went on hiatus in early late 2017. since then, baekhyun has been working as a solo artist, sporadically releasing songs as he sees fit. baekhyun is a pretty stylish guy, so he kind of has his hand in fashion as well ( like attending fashion shows and appearing on magazine covers ), but his heart lies with his music.
in case it wasn’t obvious, baekhyun’s voiceclaim is JESSE RUTHERFORD.
so, baekhyun is still slightly reeling from his relationship with the guitarist and remains a little soft boi at times. he’s really nice ( sometimes a little too nice ) but will gut you like a fish if you try to treat him like his ex did. he loves being with friends despite his introvert nature, and really thrives whenever he’s in a club setting especially when two sheets in the wind. alternatively as aforementioned, baekhyun can be a little fragile sometimes and wears his heart on his sleeve, especially around those he may have given his heart to. however, he can also be a little ... hot at the mouth when drunk as well, but also when he’s sober. basically, put up your alcohol unless you wanna see him start talking like he’s in an erotica or something.
anyways, that’s my lil baby baekhyun and i hope you guys enjoyed reading about him! i created a tag full of wanted connections ( which will be added to ) right HERE and i also created a full page of both timeline specific and non specific plots right HERE for your choosing! as mentioned, feel free to message me here on tumblr or you can message me on disc.ord, whichever you’re most comfortable with, and i can’t wait to plot with you all ... again!

where do you think scarlett leithold could fit? this rp looks amazing !
thank you so much ! i think she could fit in a lot of different families : steve rogers ( adopted ), loki & sigyn, hope van dyne, black tom cassidy & eilish sullivan, caitlin snow & ronnie raymond, stephanie brown & cassandra cain ( adopted ), dan espinoza & chloe decker & lucifer morningstar, eddie brock, kara zor-el, hal jordan & carol ferris, harley quinn & pamela isley, jason todd ( adopted ), hela & thanos, koriand’r & raven roth ( adopted ), natasha romanoff ( adopted ), stephen strange & clea, bruce wayne, oliver queen & dinah lance, warren worthington iii, michael jon carter & ted kord ( adopted ) !
and if you’re interested, some familial wanted connections she could fit :
VIDAR BJÖRK-THORSON & TOVA VIDARSDOTTIR, our CHARLIE HUNNAM & EMMA MACKEY fcs are looking for a CHILD / SIBLING connection who looks like BILLIE EILISH, MARGOT ROBBIE, HENRIK HOLM, ELLIOT FLETCHER, KATELYN NACON, JOE KEERY, JENNY BOYD, NAT WOLFF / UTP who is 17-19 or 23 you DON’T have to contact prior to applying at ofichvr / tofuisms. ( but you can if you want ! ) ( tova would… die for each of them, any time any place, but also… you know how ur sibs are your best friends but also your worst enemies? .. yeah. when they’re good, they’re reALLY good - but when they’re bad, mom or dad probably has to step in eventually to referee the arguments. the dynamic would prob be different depending on whether tova is older or younger ; if she’s the eldest, then her natural protectiveness extends to them, and if they’re older… well, same, but she’s probably a little bit TOO textbook ‘annoying younger sister’ a lot of the time. it is very possible that vidar isn’t close to this child due to him not being around for AWHILE - he was in the army from age 18 to early 30s but would come home whenever he was able to - which was NEVER enough! so they could have a relationship where vidar tries and ur chara just doesn’t want that, ur chara looks up to him but they don’t rly know how to interact , etc! it is also an option for the chara to be a TWIN but thats completely up to u! please check out vidar’s INTRO for background info and more fc options! )

😭💤🌱📖🎁💧💚 - Yoojin ;w;
give me chara development or give me death ( ft. oc emoji asks meme w/ @mythvoiced )
😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily?
you would think he'd be more on the emotional side, but actually?? yoojin isn't really a crier...i will say if he has to cry, he would DEFINITELY prefer to do it in private and alone ://
but as for what would make him cry...honestly?? if he ever reunites with the reincarnation of his childhood friend and even of old loves, he would definitely cry. not in front of them of course, but it would be tears of joy bc finally, finally- the wait is over.
💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?
yeah!! out of necessity, he can fall asleep just about anywhere in almost any position...although he does prefer sleeping in spaces that aren't necessarily traditional beds ( ex. hammocks- he likes those ). he's very much in touch with nature, so i'd say it'd be easier for him to fall asleep outside or at least by an open window than say a dark bedroom. nature sounds lull him to sleep quite easily.
🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?
he doesn't quite remember his childhood ( consider that it was at least a thousand years ago ), but he does remember his first meeting with his childhood friend. she stood over him when he was staring crouched down into a puddle of water ( he was also hiding from the monks since he was supposed to be studying sjdfklsdj ).
📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what’s their favourite genre?
nope! he hates reading ( and would struggle immensely in a classroom- hence why he only has a GED ) and stays as far away from books as possible. i do hc that he has some form of dy*slexia and while he can read, his skills are at the very basic level...and he doesn't see the point in improving outside of what he'd need to fit in with the humans.
HOWEVER, he does like stories so if they're presented through another medium ( ex. audiobooks, theatre ), i imagine he would consume them like candy :D
🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?
wind chimes for sure, but also he doesn't keep a lot simply because he's on the move so it would be inconvenient to carry them all around! but honestly, if you give him something simple like flowers or even food, he would be the most content. yoojin's a bit of a nomad so he likes to pack very minimally...anything that he can use/carry on him will do...but then again, i'd also say that aside from a few personal belongings, he's not very attached to objects so much as he's attached to individuals.
💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?
anything beach related makes him feel at ease so if you take him to the beach he'll brighten up even more....but definitely getting food, specifically homecooked food, for him would make him feel cared for. for one thing, he's not the greatest cook so getting a homecooked meal would make him feel a bit like he has a family to come back to :'D
💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon
cw for self harm.
he hasn't always been this optimistic or accepting of his immortality...that's been a mindset he's been in for only maybe like the past hundred, two hundred years?? that being said, there were times in the past when the loneliness and the never ending cycle of life just...hurt and because he wanted to die so badly in those times and needed to get the pain out somehow, he would take it out on his own body. the one thing that would always calm him was the beach aka the sea water and the sound of the waves hitting against the sand.
he's in a much more stable spot now though. but when life does weigh heavy on him, he goes to the sea for comfort.
#self harm tw#suicidal ideation tw#mythvoiced#( headcanons: yoojin. )#can't help loving others ( headcanons. )#LENA!! thanks for these as well :D#yoojin is one of those characters that's more of a mystery to me#so these were helpful in figuring out more details about him ;-;#but hopefully these make sense and please have a wonderful day!!#under the same sky ( queue. )

Papy, Blueberry react to there's a fan group that worships this great/magnificent monster, the group place has all this decorations that has his face on it and this handmade big statute of him. Activities include chanting for the monster when he's training, occasionally makes and sells merchandise of him and all the money will goes to making more cool date outfits for him, solving every puzzles the monster made,etc. Doing all this while eating spaghetti/tacos that's better than the monster made.
{ What if the fans are not as nice as they seem…I wrote two long drabbles because I needed to write something different– }
〣 PAPPY 〣
After breaking the barrier, the monsters were free andintegrated into human society.
Some monsters were more loved than others. Just like thegreat Papyrus, a monster who was famous for his courage, strength and benevolence.He was the most adorable monster of the Undeground and everyone esteemed and adoredhim unconditionally.
He was a role model, the new hero of the surface, theone who would make this world a better place but this world was rotten. Athousand Charas were hidded behind their friendly and kind smiles, but Papyruswas pure and he believed that there was good in every heart.
Papyrus’ fans were nice, gentle and devoted to him.They also founded a real fan club dedicated to their favourite skeleton.
Could they be cuter than this?
He was proud of his audience, and he loved them all, everylast one of them. They filled his heart with joy and satisfaction and he didnot imagine that the world could be so beautiful and surprising.
Papyrus received a thousand letters from his fansevery day. They declared the love they felt towards him, the sentiment of esteemthey felt for him and the hope they had of meeting him in person.
His fans, the truth must be told, were not always polite,some of them possessed a little bit disturbing traits. In their letters, they wrotethings that the poor skeleton was not even able to pronounce in real life, like:
“Ilove you, great Papyrus, I want to make you mine. I wanna have you inside me, beingone with you. For the rest of eternity. ”
“Ihave always had a thing for skeletons and now that I have found you, I will beable to realize my dream. My parents have always considered me mad for my weirddesire to fuck a corpse, but I wonder… Are you alive or dead, great Papyrus?Our union will be even better than any experience I’ve ever practiced…”
“OhI’m madly in love with you, Great Papyrus. Could you send me one of your bones?I will make a necklace with them, which I will always have with me, close to myheart. I want a part of you. I want you!”
All these letters maybe were just silly and eccentricjokes, he decided not to pay attention to them because fame included also this:crazy fans.
He never talked with his brother about these letters,Sans thought everything was fine because he saw his brother loved and desiredand this was enough to make Sans feeling comfortable and calm.
One day, an anonymous group of fans, after an event Papyrusorganized with all his fandom, kidnapped him with the excuse of bringing him ina fantastic place where they could have fun together. Papyrus could not say noto his fans. He followed them, walking into their trap.
The poor skeleton could not imagine that he was goingto become ashes, his fragments would have flown over the entire city.
“Where are we going?” the naive skeletonsaid.
“In a very special place, we want to introduceyou to a person,” said a boy with a calm but sinister voice.
Papyrus was blindfolded, and he was excited because heloved surprises, he expected so many wonderful gifts. He did not even realizethat they were going inside a dark and abandoned house.
Only the light of some candles illuminated the room, arancid smell invaded the air, then the fans positioned Papyrus inside a mystic circlemade drew on the floor, and they were around him.
“Can I take off my bandage?” he asked
“Yes, of course, dear.” an anonymous voiceanswered.
Papyrus did not understand where he was and everythingwas so mysterious and supernatural.
“What’s going on here?” he asked again buthe wanted believe. He wanted to believe until the end these people were trulynice and they did not want to hurt him but…
“Oh, don’t worry. This is a ritual, you know? Wehumans pay tribute to the people we love in this way. It’s a ritual dedicatedto your greatness.” said a friendly but disturbing voice.
Papyrus, not knowing human’s traditions, was verycurious and enthusiastic about it and maybe it was right, they were not so bad.He did not say a thing, waiting for the ritual to start.
Subsequently, the adepts began to say strange and darkverses. An occult and supernatural prayer that had the purpose of evoking a maleficcreature.
"Master, we invoke you. We executed our duties, here’sthe skeleton you wanted. The chosen one. The pure soul. And we give him to youso you can use him, becoming more powerful and fearsome. We donate his soul toyou. Come and prosper.” everyone said in chorus.
"Master? Who?” screamed the frightened skeletonand a mysterious force blocked him and he was unable to escape as if his boneswere paralyzed.
"Oh, my dear and naive Papyrus. You are a pureand innocent soul, the one our master craves and that will bring them to life. Now you’ll be sacrificedto them and there will be nothing left of you. Only dust. Be happy, you’ve bechosen for something so big” said the cult leader and then everyone laughed.
The skeleton began to scream, wriggling and tremblinguntil he fell to the ground, his monster soul came out of his body and then hefainted.
"Appear to us, our master. The Great Chara!” the samemale voice screamed with solemnly and then everyone shouted in unison"Hail Chara!”.
And then, Papyrus’s body disappeared, dissolving intothe air, and only ashes were left of him.
.
〣 BLUEBERRY 〣
He was so excited and happy to have all these fans.
This was his greatest dream: to be loved andappreciated for his own abilities.
The surface was the most beautiful place he couldimagine, he felt no nostalgia for the Underground because here he foundeverything he desired.
His fans organized events in his honour, they showeredhim with compliments, affectionate letters, photographs and sweet mails everyday.
Everyone was kind and nice to him, particularly a fanwith whom he built up a deep friendship.
He and this fan wrote every day, sending messages andemails to each other. This person was friendly and kind and loved the littleskeleton. They always asked him if he had eaten enough, how his job was, if hewas happy and if his brother was fine. Sans completely liked his fan, for them,he felt a feeling that went beyond normal friendship and so one day he decidedto meet them.
Sans asked them an true date because he was tired ofthis cold and distant communication, he wanted to look into his friend’s eyes,hear their voice and hug them tightly.
This was the most beautiful gift in the world, andthis was also his friend’s wish because they could not believe that thefantastic Sans had decided to meet them.
Sans had nothing to fear because they were hisgreatest friend.
The skeleton arrived to his friend’s address, an isolatedand peaceful place where nature shone and the birds sang in the sky. Aparadise, he thought.
His friend was so kind and welcomed the skeleton witha warm hug that he returned. After that, they came into the house, Sans did noteven notice that his cell phone got no signal and there was no reception herebut this fact did not seem so relevant.
The two friends talked, they has so many arguments todiscuss, drinking a good cup of tea. They had so much to say that time passedwithout Sans realized it.
And he was more and more tired, quite sleepy.
This was strange because he was never tired, and he usually was so euphoric and it was weird.
“Oh, something wrong, Sans?” These were hisfriend’s words, and they smiled sweetly.
“No, it’s all right, I’m so tired …” theskeleton yawned.
“Oh, it was a long journey. Maybe you should restfor a while.” His friend said, worried.
"No… I-it would… not … b-be … polit—” and then Sans fainted.
“Leaving me would not be so polite neither,little Sans …”
Afterwards, the skeleton found himself tied up on abed, motionless and shocked.
Someone drugged his tea, but he realized it too late,and the person who drugged him was standing next to him now.
“What …?” He said, regainingconsciousness.
“Hi, dear. Have you slept well?” his friendasked, smiling.
"What did you do to me? Why am I tied?” Sansshouted.
"So you won’t run away, silly. It’s so simple!”their voice was calm.
"O, god! What do you want from me? Why?” Sans asked,desperate.
Sans realized he was not able to use his magic becausethat drug made him weak, he could not move a single bone.
"Calm down, honey. Stirring is useless.” theysaid, smiling as if everything was normal.
"You’re completely crazy!” he shouted withconcern.
“You are as crazy as me if you trust people soeasily. But that’s what I like about you, you’re so generous, brave and strong.I’ve loved you from the first moment I saw you.” They proclaimed, grinning.
"No, you’ll be in a lot of trouble, my brotherwill come to take me!” Sans said trying to be threatening even though hewas very afraid.
“He will also be part of my collection. I’m notso bad, I cannot separate two good brothers like you.” they paused themselves fora moment, "together to the death!” They said and laughed diabolically.
Sans’s head throbbed and hurt, he was not able toformulate concrete sentences because everything was too absurd. Horrible. Thiswas a nightmare.
"Collection? What are you talking about?” Sans askedeven if asking questions did not make sense.
"How curious you are, my love. I also like thisabout you.” they smiled in a sinister way.
“Don’t call me love, you’re a monster!” Sans said,crying.
“No, I’m not, but you are and you’re my first sample,my little pet. You have no choice, don’t make me angry, ok?” their voice was socold and tears of terror fell from Sans’ cheeks.
“Shut up!” Sans screamed but it was useless.
“Sweet dreams, babe. Tell the stars hello for me!” theysaid, hitting Sans head with a pan and then his vision blacked out.

Hello!! I like history & came to be annoying, so if this is just too much tell me & I'll promptly delete! But I wanted to give an alternative option for the possible reason behind the costuming due to the time era: while forced assimilation & colonization definitely played a role in influencing how Natives dressed (including things like dressing in more European styled clothing to be taken more seriously by settlers for things like business, politics, or trade, just like you sughest) at this time, by this era (1896 onward, which is the year AWAE begins) Native people had already started wearing European clothing because of access to them via trade, and incorporated bits of them into their traditional clothing. In fact, a lot of Western & "Cowboy" fashion is influenced by Indigenous fashion because of Natives doing this & then white cowboys copying our style. This also happened with Fur traders in Canada who married Native women (as encouraged to in the beginning), who then made clothing for them with the furs and skins they had hunted, traded their crafts, and started utilizing traded white goods themselves like metal needles, cloth, and wool.
Of course these Native beaders, quillworkers, and seamstresses would naturally incorporate their traditional styles into their husband's clothing, or the things they traded. Then Natives traded with each other. Then fashion trends start occurring IN ADDITION to everything else. Here are some examples from the late 1800s-: (note the cloth shirts, scarf, coat, & white brim hat). Things like wide brim hats, colorful & patterned skirts/dresses/shirts, & blankets were popular with Natives & were worn sometimes simply because Native people liked them.
I haven't watched AWAE but based on what I can see already, it looks like the Mi'kmaw characters, even in their traditional attire in the first examples given, were already incorporating European & traded clothing into their attire (such as the cotton button up shirt, skirts, shawls, & the scarf & hat Kakwet's lil bro is wearing). In the first episode, we also see Kakwet & her father wearing more European attire under their traditional clothing. Being a more Eastern situated peoples, it's pretty likely they had already started trading with White Canadians and/or traded with other Mi'kmaw & other tribes who did for a while now. (Here's the example of Kakwet's father, note the vest, scarf, & hat)
& you can see this onward of again, Native peoples still wearing their traditional clothing as well as European ones, or a combination of both. Here's a photo of Mi'maq in 1870 (left) & 1865 (right: both years earlier than AWAE, an example of Mi'kmaq wearing European clothing, & the other with traditional attire)
Here's a photo of some Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw in 1930 (left), wearing very similar clothing to the charas in AWAE, and then again more traditional clothing in 1910 (right: so we have two cases of Mi'kmaq still wearing traditional clothing years AFTER AWAE takes place)
Jesuits observing Mi'kmaq (circa 1610-1616) had this to say about their clothing, after describing their traditional attire made from animal skins:
"in Summer they often wear our capes, and in Winter our bed-blankets, which they improve with trimming and wear double. [page 75] They are also quite willing to make use of our hats, shoes, caps, woolens and shirts, and of our linen to clean their infants, for we trade them all these commodities for their furs."
So in conclusion I don't think/know that the AWAE Mi'kmaq had already started assimilating themselves or started dressing more "white" as a conscious decision themselves (or at least on its own, unless there's a scene that directly states otherwise?), but in the very least it's just historically accurate costuming of the characters because this is what a lot of Natives had already started dressing like in the late 1800s especially, even when we were resisting colonization & ignoring assimilationist laws. But then Kakwet's storyline also has to do with colonization & forced assimilation, so it could very likely be intentionally there too.
I believe ka'kwet's father and the rest of the mi'kmaq villagers are wearing european attire due to some sort of forced assimilation. An entire community of people wouldn't just abandon their meticulously crafted and culturally resonant clothing for a different set of clothes that likely aren't as functional.
The Mi'kmaq people in 3.01
This is them in 3.08
Considering there's atleast 3 months between these events, you're right that an entire community won't just give up their attires. The men I can understand because they have to do business outside, but the women and children too! There is an absolute possibility of forced assimilation. (I'm not in anyway capable of commenting on the historical accuracy of it) But, I think that they themselves are abandoning some part of their identity so that white people don't look down upon them any more than they already do. Like to coerce people into doing something you want, deliberately or not, is forced in my opinion.
Also, most Mi'kmaq children of age are enrolled in the school system, as of now, that could also have "encouraged" them. Like Ka'kwet's mom said herself that, "Maybe learning their ways would help the community." So that no more interference is done in their way of life.
#you could argue that the old photos cluld partially be staged or just for the photo (which did happen a lot#but the people in the photos even still having that traditional clothing to wear in the first place means they were still making it#& at least had it in their possession#also note that the jesuit document contains racism because. they are racist#also I am not Mi'maq I am Cree. social studies was my major & i like history#BUT if i got anything wrong obvi feel free to correct me#like it wasn't NOT colonization#but im not sure if them dressing the way they did in the newer episodes meant they weren't going to wear their traditional clothing anymore#like if feel like if we got another season then it wouldve shown them still wearing similar clothing as they did when they first appeared

Introducing Team OAKR
I figured it was time to go ahead and introduce everyone to my RWBY OCs! I don't have much to share but I wanted to share their character sheets and give you guys some info about them!
For reference, this team is at Beacon 10 years prior to Team RWBY. Without further ado, here they are!
Team Leader: Olivia Chara
- Species: Faunus (Reindeer antlers)
- Color: Olive Green
- Orientation: Bisexual
- Gender: Female/Cis (She/Her)
- Relationship Status: Single, recently left a long-term relationship
- Weapon: Quarterstaff (A rifle on one end and a spear on the other)
- Hair: Olive green, mid back length, straight, bangs
- Eyes: Cerulean
- Clothing: White long coat with dark grey trim (wind Dust sewn into the lining), black knee high boots, dark grey shorts, white sleeveless button down with black collar
- Symbol: Turtledove; center back of coat
- Aura: White
- Semblance: Can temporarily calm enemies by lowering their adrenaline; this gives her time to think of a plan, talk to her opponent, or escape; duration is determined by number of targets, size of target, and target's aura strength
- Personality: Optimist; believes in the inherent good of people; would rather talk to an enemy and find a peaceful solution than engage in combat, but is not afraid to fight; enjoys making those she cares about happy; often puts her own happiness aside for the well-being of her loved ones
- Motivation: Wants to maintain peace in the world and show that Faunus are no different than humans
Olivia was born in Menagerie and grew up in the White Fang with her parents, back when it was an organization of peace and equality between faunus and humans. Her parents were very active in the movement and did their best to give Olivia a reason to be proud of her heritage and believe in the cause, which she still fights for to this day. They also made sure to teach her to protect herself as they travelled to the kingdoms for their protests. Recently, however, the Fang has grown more violent, resulting in the Chara family removing themselves from them. Olivia is determined to bring the White Fang back to the path of peace, and has decided to enroll at Beacon to better equip herself for this challenge.
Aster Triggs
- Species: Faunus (Cat Tail; Purple)
- Color: Aster Purple
- Orientation: Gay
- Gender: Genderflux (They/Them)
- Relationship Status: Single
- Weapon: Crossbow (shoots Dust-infused bolts; fire, electricity, and ice; can turn into a lance)
- Aura: Light Purple
- Semblance: Can shapeshift and mimic the voices of others; cannot shift into different species such as humans, animals, or Grimm; often uses this to try a new look, mess with their friends, or get into trouble

- Eyes: Mint
- Clothing: Cold purple hoodie with blue violet lining, strings, and zipper, fitted magenta jeans with cranberry pink accents, blue violet sneakers with cold purple accents, cranberry pink ankle socks

- Motivation: Trying to find their place in the world
Aster was adopted as a baby by a wealthy human couple in Mistral. Their parents saw them as a way to better their social image and never actually cared about them. Aster was well off growing up, but they only wanted their parents to love them. At 13, they found out about the adoption and realized their family would never be able to give them what they wanted, resulting in them running away. They used their semblance to procure weapons and provisions while on the run without attracting too much attention to themselves, and made their way to Vale. They're hoping the life of a huntsman will provide both excitement and the chance to find their birth family.
Kimi Gahiji

Kimi comes from an esteemed family of huntsmen that can be traced back to the Great War. Through arranged marriages the family has worked to strengthen their bloodline and create a noteworthy legacy. As the eldest child, it's Kimi's responsibility to carry on the tradition and bring about the next generation of huntsmen for her family. She's spent her entire life with intense training from her parents and is expected to marry a suitor of their choosing, also from a strong line of huntsmen. While she is proud to be part of her family, she is often envious of her younger siblings' freedom and is searching for the courage to tell her parents that she doesn't want to marry who they choose.

Roxy's family has always been very artistic and prides themselves on self-expression and helping others. They've always been a tight-knit family, and while they don't have much they do always try to give back to the world. His parents have run several small charity events for different causes, including Faunus Rights. This environment has fostered a loving and helpful nature in Roxy and his two sisters, and the close family dynamic has made him quite protective. It's for this reason he decided to become a huntsman, and while his family is worried about the danger he'll face, they support him fully and believe he will do great things.
