Over Metta Drop

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:06:47

Not sure if this should be Metta Drop between Mushroom Mesa and Ebe Crater Valley or not. If yes, then this shot is out of order with the previous scenes in Beggar’s Canyon.

But if it’s not intended to be Metta Drop, then there’s another unnamed cliff just after the exit of Beggar’s Canyon onto the Desert Plain - which may be represented with this line on the map.

That is unless Metta Drop is intended to be the drop separating Mushroom Mesa from Ebe Crater Valley, or if it is intended to be the drop at the beginning of Desert Plain. The novelization seems to imply Metta Drop is after Jag Crag Gorge.

Pg 167 of Creating the Worlds of Star Wars 365 Days mentions a change in elevation called "Rick's Rise", which wasn't carried over into the Complete Locations map. (Thanks to Thomas Hansen on Twitter for sending this version of the ILM map)

On the ILM map, it looks like the Podrace sequence goes like this:

• Anchorhead Arena (which became Mos Espa Grand Arena) • Starlite Flats (on Inside the Worlds/Complete Locations map) • Waldo Road (became Waldo Grade/Waldo Flats on ITW/CL map, featured in 3rd lap in the film) • Gavin Gap (unnamed on ITW/CL map) • Mushroom Mesa (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Boulder Bluff (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • Rick Cliff (probably Rick's Rise mentioned in Creating the Worlds 365 - could be this drop) • Ebe Crater Valley (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • The Notch (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Beggar's Canyon (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Butte City (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film? Could be the name for the random buildings in Beggar's Canyon?) • Bumpy Road (hard to make out the name to be sure - not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • ??? Stone ??? (difficult to make out this name at all - not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • Pattern Flats (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • Turtle Tower (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • Droopy Drop (not featured on ITW/CL map - could be this drop) • Dune Sea (seems to be renamed to Desert Plain on the ITW/CL map) • Arch Canyon (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Diablo Spa (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film - this may have been some kind of geothermal geyser area judging by the name, cut from the race - seemingly replaced with The Whip on the ITW/CL map) • Jag Crag Gorge (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Lagulla Caves (renamed Laguna Caves, and the Lagulla name was repurposed for the Lagulla Ice Cave where Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar encounter a colo claw fish during their trip through Naboo's core - featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Tusken's Camp (not named explicitly, nor do we see the actual camp, but this would explain where the Tusken Raiders come from that take shots at the podracers) • Tusken Turn (renamed Canyon Dune Turn, where Teemto Pagalies is shot down in lap 2) • Grandaki (?) (not sure what this is, but it is located in the middle of what became Canyon Dune Turn) • Jawa Camp (not present in the film or ITW/CL maps - would explain where the Jawas came from in the "Extended Lap 2" deleted scene) • Alé Pass (a note included says Uphill - not featured on ITW/CL map or the film) • Bindy Bend (not sure if this is shown in the film or not, but it is included on the ITW/CL map) • Jill's Junction (not featured on ITW/CL map or the film?) • Jett's Chute (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Devil's Doorknob (featured in the last 2 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Hutt Flats (featured in all 3 laps in the film, and present on all maps) • Old Town Ruins (cut from the film and not shown on the ITW/CL map) ** if you think I missed something or got something wrong - let me know!

And another map courtesy of Jon Knoles on Twitter, who worked on Episode I Racer for LucasArts.

This map seems to combine a few features of the ILM map and the Inside the Worlds/Complete Locations map - and adds a few new locations.

• Arena (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Starlite Flats (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Mushroom Mesa (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Snaky Curve (new! not shown in film) • Ebe Drop (new! seems to be where Metta Drop or Rick's Rise would be located) • Ebe Crater Valley (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Beggar's Canyon (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Butte City (on ILM map) • Dune Sea (renamed to Desert Plain - on ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Droopy Drop (on ILM map - could be one of the drops we see in the film) • Arch Canyon (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Jag Crag (on ILM and ITW/CL map as Jag Crag Gorge, shown in film) • Lagula Cave (renamed to Laguna Cave - on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Tusken Turn (renamed to Canyon Dune Turn - on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Jawa Bend (new! not shown in film) • Jett's Chute (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film) • Hutt Flats (on ILM and ITW/CL map, shown in film)

If anyone finds any other podrace maps, please send them my way!

Man this blog is so wholesome,,, If you are still doing them how about classic Metta and Mettafell with a big fluffy apex monster reader?

Thank you. I'm so glad ppl love this blog 💗

Hope you enjoy this anonie!!

Mettaton & Mettafell with a fluffy apex s/o!

💔Mettafell [aka bug]💔

Mettafell is a very strong and dangerous robot (he is built to kill humans after all) I think some monsters are afraid of him at times sense he can be a...little unstable *cough* (nottomentionthesecretafterdark showswherehe'sknowntokillmonsters forviews) *cough* so I feel once he gets into a relationship with you he feels like you and him are the 1# power couple in the underground. Your giant sharp claws, his metal one. Your sharp fangs, along with his metal spiky ones... you both make the perfect pair, darling!

He definitely shows you off. He'll feature you in some segments of his shows where it shows your raw strength and power. Like he'll set up stage battles with monsters you fight, it's sorta rigid because he always makes sure you win, and he will definitely step in if he feels the other team is being too rough with you or is winning.

Some of bug fans adore you,,, some don't, some have very violent opinions about you and post about it on the undernet but strangely those post don't stay up long and what's even more strange is that those monsters go missing. Huh weird, right?

Mettafell likes to get his claws done with you (ofc!! if you're ok with it) and get matching colors. He mostly does it at home with you because he's very strict with the salon workers-- he gets pissed if they cut them too short.

Bug sells merch with you and him on it, and it looks the coolest. The item that gets sold out most is the posters where bug is posing, holding his 2 chainsaws and your posing beside him with your claws and fangs coved in fake blood. That poster always makes you smile when you look at it because in that photo shoot, the make-up artist accidentally dropped some of the prop blood in your mouth, and it tasted t e r r i b l e, the sruched up nasty face you were making caused mettafell to chuckle and you almost started laughing to when you told him it tasted like 2000 year old of hot garbage in your mouth. And you almost got some of the prop blood in his hair he wasn't too thrilled about that, tho

The both of you are just two big goobers who look scary, but in reality, you're just regular goobers.

His favorite part of the day is when he's alone at home with you, and you let him snuggle into your soft fur while he tells you about his day, and you both talk about wherever comes to mind.

Even though he is literally a murder bot, he feels very safe and secured around you he deeply loves his darling apex with all of his being, and he tells you how much he loves you almost every night as you both fall asleep.

----------------

💓Mettaton💓

Mettaton the most famous and fabulous celebrity in the underground. Was saw outside posted up with some fluffy apex monster?? What?! His fans were gossiping all about you on the undernet. And of course, you know mettaton made a completely over the top romantic post confirming that you're his partner and how special you are to him.

I think most of his fans think both of you are so adorable together! They make lovely edits of you two.

Mettaton lovesss adding you in his movies, shows, or plays. He secretly feels like you're a good luck charm to him. Even if you're not the best actor or even if your part is super short. being on set with you makes his soul soar. like he knows it's going to be an amazing day when you're here beside him, darling 💗

Sense your strong. I can see mettaton dramatically fainting in your arms a lot. One time, he saw there was a small dent on his arm, and he was like, "...darling the pain... it's unbearable.. I can't possibly go on like this..catch me.." He then would fall in your arms. He does this spontaneously sometimes, so be prepared, lol

Spa days are always fun. mettaton would love to dye your fur! He would love to dye it pink or some other color that would fit you.

And ofc Metta loves shopping for makeup and face care stuff to, so He knows all the brands that will keep your fur soft and shiny

He definitely likes to brush your fur when it's shedding time to! It's relaxing to him.

Sometimes, if there's a little piece of fluff on you that looks like it's getting ready to shed, he'll just walk up to you and gently pull it off

Also, be careful not to get glitter in your fur when you're around him!! Oh, it's too late already in fur :(

Metta treasures the small moments you share together. He trys to take at least one photo of these moments, for he can put the picture in his diary and gush about how much he adores you and write about all the planed dates and vacations he's planing to go on with you.

Mettaton loves you so so so much. You mean the world to him. You're like a light in his life that he never knew he needed before. And now that he has you, he's going to make sure to cherish you 💗

@ettelene requested Feanor + boycotting a holiday for the modern AU holiday prompts! Here you are, ~775 words of condo developer Feanor, his family, and his many rivals. No warnings besides a little cursing (one f-bomb), as usual.

Amid zoning feud with City Hall, Ambar Metta withdraws funding for Yule Parade

Future of beloved celebration threatened by powerful Beleria development group. Has Finvesen’s grudge gone too far?

Fëanor slammed his laptop shut. “Ridiculous accusations,” he muttered into his coffee before taking a sip and grimacing. Too hot.

His phone pinged.

Nelyafinwë 🧡 Did you read it? 8:05am

Fëanáro Slander. Let them lob their accusations at us, you know it’s nothing to do with grudges. If that Singh-Goel had given us the permit for Himring Towers we would not be in this situation. 8:05am

We don’t have the budget! 8:06am

Elu has no one to blame but himself!! 8:07am

Three dots ticked along the bottom of his messaging app. Fëanor slammed the table and slurped his coffee. His eldest could be so infuriating sometimes! What was taking him so long to reply?

Nelyafinwë 🧡 Right. I know. But if Sindar Herald is painting it that way don’t you think we should consider the possible consequences for the business? 8:09am

Thumbs flying in outrage, Fëanor typed a reply. Then deleted it. Then retyped it.

Fëanáro Did your boyfriend put you up to this? 8:11am

Nelyafinwë 🧡 Omg no dad! Fingon hasn’t even seen the article. Curufinwë sent it to me. 8:11am

Fëanáro Curvo sent you this? Why didn’t he tell me himself? 8:11am

Nelyafinwë 🧡 I don’t know. Can I call you? 8:12am

Fëanor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Fëanáro Not right now. 8:12am

Have a good day Nelyo 🙂 8:13am

Fëanor swiped his phone app open and clicked the first name in his call history.

“Hello? Dad?” answered Curufin. His voice was hoarse.

“Curufinwë, why didn’t you tell me about that article?”

“What article?”

Fëanor huffed. “The libel about the Yule Parade sponsorship!”

“Oh, yeah — fucking bullshit.”

“Do you know what your brother said to me? That we should ‘consider the business consequences.’”

“Ugh, really? Sorry dad, I was going to call you, I swear. But I didn’t want to just dump it on you — ugh, Nelyo! — but Tyelpë has a cold and he’s staying home from school, I didn’t have a chance to—”

“What! Tyelperinquar isn’t well?” Fëanor’s indignation over the article was immediately swept aside by a surge of panic for his favourite (only) grandchild. “Why didn’t you ask us to take him! Bring him over at once. I have told you a thousand times, your mother and I can take him anytime you need—”

“No, we can’t.” Nerdanel strolled into the dining room, dressed smartly in a long pencil skirt and blazer with her hair pulled back in a tight bun.

Distracted once more, Fëanor lowered the phone from his mouth and gawked at his wife. “What’s the occasion, Raspberry? You look fabulous!”

“I have that meeting about the wire sculptures at the Aelin-Uial Park light display.” She sighed and slipped into a pair of glossy red flats. “They’re saying we can’t afford the blue and green LEDs — well, they were the ones who wanted the tunnel to have an oceanic vibe.”

“I guarantee Singh-Goel’s behind that!” Fëanor shouted, forgetting he had his son on the phone.

Nerdanel rolled her eyes. Scooping up the paper from the foyer table, she dropped it in front of Fëanor. “Here. I think you should read this. Goodbye, dear.”

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and was out the door.

Fëanor looked at the front page headline.

The holiday spirit is saved! Hithlum Properties picks up the tab for Yule Parade

By Melkor Cifarelli

Underneath this was the grinning face of Fëanor’s greatest rival (damn his brilliant blue eyes and perfect jawline!), he who had won the bid for the redevelopment at Mithrim Lake: Fingolfin Noldoran Finvesen. The biological son of his late beloved father and that gold-digging witch from Valma.

“That bastard!”

“… Dad?” Curufin said on the other end of the line.

“Sorry Curvo dear, I have to go. Oh, Fingolfin, you—! You’ll regret this.”

“Wait, what did he—”

Fëanor ended the call before his son had a chance to finish and furiously scrolled through his contacts for the personal number of Mayor Elu Singh-Goel.

“Yes, hello, Elu! Happy Diwali! Oh - right, of course. What? Of course I knew it happened already. Anyway, I have reconsidered the sponsorship of the Parade. In fact, I’d like to increase Ambar Metta’s funding this year.”

[player-1]

I know it's going to be a while for me to jump back to the Nexomon tag when the next chapter for my fic drops (and believe me, that's going to take a while), there's been a semi-crazy theory I've been going over since I was thinking of weaseling it into the fic (especially during the NexoLords Frozen Tundra arc) since it's something that doesn't seem to make sense in hindsight.

Namely with the NexoLords' attempt of reviving Omnicron, and even the earlier run-in with the goons holding a bunch of bomb-experts hostage and possibly planning to use the dynamite for their own plan...What if before the Guild stopped them in their tracks, what if they had a previous attempt to revive Omnicron, failed, and were trying to cover their tracks is the second time went bust? What if the NexoLords accidentally created a Tyrant that was nothing like the great King of Monsters but the heir of Omnicron's heir the first time around?

(Minor spoilers for Micromon, major spoilers for Nexomon 1, post-N1, Nexomon Extinction, and a bunch of rambling/theory crafting below)

TL;DR: Reverse doomsday cult in Frozen Tundra "accidentally" create a monster beyond their comprehension, abandoned it at Palmaya and perpetuate the cycle of neglect Omnicron started with his "weakest child" Metta, the one true heir to the King of Monsters...Then both their plans gets ruined by a blue-haired kid.

Like I made as a joke but already plausible theory, Omnicron's youngest kid Metta (the glass pinata with a titanium ego) would've been considered the king's heir due to his moveset following every bit of his power over all elements at once. But given Metta's (gestures wildly at everything) and not immediately putting the fear of Nexo-God onto humanity, he was ignored and cast aside as the lesser of Omnicron's children...Of course, until everything that happens before and after Nexomon 1. Apart from Metta being murked from Extinction's story due to the dev not wanting to develop his character further (or also from how congested the story is already with all the protags/antagonists); there are plenty of little easter eggs that still show Metta's influence on the world long into the Tyrant War and up until N:E's story. Like him previously making a resurrection machine to revive Omnicron and his siblings and his teacher/unofficial father-figure Malk having a database in a variety of "Nexomon" similar but unknown to the public (Micromon/Pixekai Project); ultimately leading to the NexoLords (and Lobo the ex-Guild Grandmaster) finding the machine's blueprint and Amelie and Logan finding the database and extracting the info to create a anti-Tyrant weapon to topple the war in their favor and end the mindless violence once and for all. And all of this was in the Frozen Tundra, mind you, and most likely in Metta's old home or in Omnicron's Tower/Tomb; though I'm all on the former being the case :).

Circling back to the NexoLords, obviously assuming they had a chance to revive Omnicron and "restore the world's order" with their new blueprints, jumped straight into building/testing out the machine in the tower where Omnicron was once slain long long ago. Maybe they used a Nexomon egg as the catalyst, maybe gathered some residual energy in the ancient site no sane person dared to venture to; but the Nexomon they got was nothing any of them had expected. It was something human-like but not, a Tyrant but not, and a Nexomon with stars in their eyes and a bright smile against the harsh and destructive world around them...

-That's right, this was a Byeol theory rant all along! And there's nothing you can do to stop me now!! >:D To try and make a more long story short, it makes some sense to me if the NexoLords (and by extension Lobo) made Byeol in their first and only known attempt to revive the doggo dad himself (going heavy in the copium since Omnicron's soul was completely destroyed after N1), so they had to work with what they had even if they had no idea what kind of ancient/primordial Tyrant they're channeling to achieve "world peace". Besides, even if Lobo was the ex-Guild leader and had every chance to read up on Omnicron's history, who wants to bet he had no idea that Metta existed if he was never considered a threat in the first place in the past? After all, Omnicron was a Normal-type and had power over all the elements, so why would he have a Normal-type kid as well? All of his children were killed off by Ulzar, so they had to go for the source of all Nexomon, the Normal-type monster, that's the most obvious choice! (/s) If that then applies to Lobo accidentally making Metta's Tyrant, then why is Byeol found in Palmaya and not Omnicron's Tower and/or the Frozen Tundra? Simple, the NexoLords really didn't want their token Tyrant being a baby cherub bird-thing and totally not Omnicron, so they dumped him at the one place that's "Tyrant-free" and getting the little guy as far away from their base of operation as possible.

But that's still a bit ironic, you know? Metta, abandoned by his father and siblings for not putting humanity under his thumb, eventually becomes the strongest Nexomon tamer in the world (aka the Nexolord) and putting together a plan to revive his dad to destroy humanity once and for all (and finally be his dad's special little boy :). Then there's Byeol, abandoned by a man with an Omnicron mask and his Children of Omnicron-styled lackeys for not being the true King of Monsters and ending the Tyrant War without anymore bloodshed; (fic-wise) becoming a beacon of hope in Palmaya and exploring the world helping those in need and avoiding Tyrant conflicts at all cost. Cause in Byeol's strangely starry eyes, his idea of world peace is for everyone to be nice and get along, human and Nexomon, simple as that.

Whether or not it if the NexoLords knew their "Tyrant" was being raised to be a goody-two-shoes is up to debate; but I really wanted to figure out someway to explain Byeol's existence other than "he's just a post-story legendary just because" or following the series' gimmick of using post-story 'mon for the next game, but the thought itself is pretty funny to me.

[imbonewary]

I am suuuper writer's blocked right now, so no new chapter, but I did redraw my JumbleTale roster! I will update the blog header soon, but for now...

Here is the main cast, as they appear around the time Serif first arrives in JumbleTale!

Just because I can, I’ll drop some lore as well; everyone’s souls are displayed here and, while monsters do have white souls, the light they give off is tinted slightly, which reflects character traits and magic affinity; not that a monster can't learn magic that doesn't match their soul color, but it's easier to learn magic that does. That said, here's everyone's attributes (and call signs), from left to right:

Serif is a True Blue (Integrity). Technically, Serif isn’t native to JumbleTale so a different set of rules apply to him, but he is still associated with a soul color. Blue, or Dark Blue, is associated with Integrity; not that Serif can’t lie, he actually lies a lot, but he stays true to who he is, to his core beliefs and principles, no matter what he goes through. “Despite everything, it’s still you.”

Lucky Papyrus is a Just Yellow. Despite being raised to be a weapon by [Redacted] Gaster, Papyrus always had a strong sense of right and wrong no matter how much Gaster tried to beat it out of him. He cares less about what’s technically legal than he does about what’s fair.

Sanatos (Sans) is a Persevering Purple. A mix of Patient and Determined, Sans was quite adept in the realm of politics, until he best friend, King Asriel, died in his arms, causing Sans to retreat from everyone and everything. His specialty is to pick apart a problem into its component parts and recognize the intricate web of side effects a potential solution might have.

Hero Frisk and Buttercup Chara are both Determined Reds. I know there’s theories that Red isn’t actually Determination, but I’m going to go with it anyways, at least until a more concrete explanation is available. I’m also going to cover both at the same time because of how connected they are and that comparing the two is the easiest way to describe them both. Despite both being very Red, Frisk leans more towards Brave Orange while Chara leans more towards Persevering Purple, ending up at a more raspberry color. While Frisk is more likely to brute force a solution, Chara will step back and analyze the situation before finessing a solution. While not technically related to soul color, Frisk’s lack of empathy makes him more ready, willing, and able to do literally anything it takes to accomplish his goals, no matter who he hurts along the way.

Amber Alphys is a Brave Orange. Surprisingly. She is the embodiment of the phrase “Courage isn’t the lack of fear; it’s being scared to death and moving forward anyways”. Trained to be a bodyguard and steed in the Labs, she is powerful and skilled in combat but lacks confidence in social interactions, mostly due to lack of experience in her youth.

Starling (Mettaton/Mettané) is a Persevering Purple. As a Purple bordering Determined Red, Metta ends up with a hot pink color and is surprisingly similar to Chara, who is a Red bordering Purple. Metta is just as dramatic as his robotic counterparts but is more focused on puzzles and riddles than entertainment and fame, putting his detective/deduction skills to good use once Gaster erased himself from existence and left a big hole behind. While most interpretations of Mettaton are a bit of a gossip, this Metta doesn’t mind keeping what he learns to himself if the one it’s about wants him to, happy that he was able to find the knowledge at all.

Doc Toriel is a Kind Green. The driving force behind basically everything Tori does is the deep seated need to help others; this is the main reason she accepted the title of Royal Scientist, not because she loves science, but because she wanted to use the position to help the Lab victims. Bordering Cyan, making her more of a teal/turquoise, highlights her nurturing nature. This also makes her the perfect partner for Metta when working with Lab victims, bringing a gentleness Metta lacks while digging into the truth.

Captain Asgore is a Patient Cyan. Rounding out the group, Asgore embodies Patience in every aspect of his life, from training newbie Guards to dealing with the general public as a Peace Keeper. Patience and Kindness often go hand-in-hand, so he is often mistaken for a Kind Green, but he more just utilizes kindness to get the results he wants; however, he knows that some people aren’t motivated by gentle understanding, and Asgore has no problem using force when needed.

While not pictured, I know the soul colors of several other important, or at least interesting, characters as well. [Redacted] Gaster is a Just Yellow, which Papyrus inherited; he could “justify” anything as being “for the greater good.” Queendyne, or Queen Undyne, is a Brave Orange, bordering Red, and is a bit of a political wrecking ball. Frisk’s cousin, Marriweather or Marri, that took them in before they fell is a Kind Green bordering Yellow, making her a sort of olive green, and we’ll see more of her later. Spear Mouse (Scarf Mouse) is a True Blue while Bronze Masque (Nacarat Jester/red demon) is a Patient Cyan, despite his coloration. Doggo and his protégé Tomcat (Burgerpants) are Patient Cyan and Brave Orange respectively; they fit together like puzzle pieces.

I wrote out a ton more, like five paragraphs worth, before realizing I really should just make a new post for background characters and who all is jumbled.

This is the same pic from above but with some extra added bits, like Metta’s eventual robot body and Alphys with just her dress and showing off her stripes. Some interesting notes about design choices, in no particular order, are:

Alphys' coat and dress are the same colors as Papyrus' vest and shirt, respectively.

Doc Tori's apron is her Royal Scientist uniform; white lab coats were optional anyways and she likes differentiating herself from the trauma of The Labs. Before the Underground, the uniform was made of leather and styled more like a Blacksmith's apron, since that's more-or-less what the job entailed, but now days it's just sturdy brown cloth. I always did like brown and purple as a color combo.

Asgore's head and mane were really hard for me to wrap my head around before so this time I took a shortcut and traced Simba from The Lion King before I started messing with the design. He still looks a lot like Simba, for better or worse.

I swapped the stripe colors of Frisk and Chara's shirts, partially to reference their jumbled character traits, but also because I think Yellow Justice suits Hero Frisk and Purple Perseverance suits Buttercup Chara better than the other way around.

Sans is the only Boss Monster displayed here, though Asriel, Undyne, and Gaster are all Boss Monsters as well. Boss Monster souls give off more color than their regular counterparts and this can be used to identify them as early as a few years old. In trying to expand on this I’ve come to realize that I really need to write a full post about how Boss Monsters work in JumbleTale, and probably get into monster reproduction as well.

For Metta's wheelchair, I took colors form Mettaton's original box form. Turns out, wheelchairs are really fucking hard to draw. Metta's in particular is based on a more sporty, versatile wheelchair design rather than the common hospital-style wheelchair.

Asgore and Toriel are often compaired to goats but I always thought they looked like they had some lion-like traits as well. Since Doc Tori and Captain Asgore are not Boss Monsters and are not related in any way, I decided to highlight these differences by making Tori a pure goat monster and Asgore a horned lion.

Master list 3: SO is covered in pig blood

Drakefell, Theatertale, Farm swap, Seaswap, Lustfell

Here was the original prompt:

And the main 10

Barin: while he didn’t see what was in the bucket, he did see the bully begin to tip it. Thinking it was just punch or something, barin dips his SO under him to take the hit, resigning himself to his fate. He’s sputtering in disgust though when the blood hits him. Then his bloodthirsty little brother jumps the guy.

Arwin: so, you have chosen death? For a moment he legitimately thought that SO had been hurt. So arwin does what he always does in a fight: he pushes barin to SO to protect them, then jumps SOs attacker. Nobody dares try to separate them until arwin gets a few good hits in first. It’s well known to never get between a fell Drake and their fight. Arwin only stops if SO or Barin calls him off

Tempo: he doesn’t hesitate, he just grabs SO and shortcuts home. No words or nothing. They land in the shower together, and depending on how far of a jump that was, tempo is either fussing over SO worried, or he’s slumped against the shower wall exhausted lol. Either way he’s concerned about SOs state right now

Vibrato: he lets out a movie worthy horrified scream. Mettaton would’ve praised vibrato for the emotional tone of it if he wasn’t ordering SOs bully out of the party. One really shouldn’t mess with the SO of vibrato, the upcoming star who’s been basically adopted by the metta crew. That’s just asking for a lawsuit.

Cider: oh hell to the no! Cider is seeing red, and before the bully can start mocking his SO too, he swings with a nasty right hook, breaking the bully’s nose. Cider and the jerk have to be pulled apart by two rather burly monsters in order to break up the fight. He’ll feel guilty later for not checking up on his SO first

Barley: he’s most likely drunk off his *ss if this is the kind of party he’s used to going to. So when he and SO are clumsily dancing together, and they both get doused by the blood, he shrieks thinking he’s been turned into a human and starts sobbing on SOs shoulder about how he isn’t ready to have his first period. SO is too busy drunkenly comforting the train wreck that is wasted barley to even realize they were the target

Finn: he heroically pushes SO out of the way when he sees the bucket beginning to tilt. Poor Finn is now covered in blood. He gives his attacker his best glare…. Then promptly bursts into tears. He can’t muster up the anger and is just sad and humiliated instead. Every one with a heart is giving the bully a death glare I’m sure. Finn is well loved after all.

Sails: it’s a party. There’s no doubt he’s high as a kite right now. So when sails sees his SO all red, he tilts his head confused and asks what they’re trying to cosplay. Naturally of course he gets yelled at too, and he’ll be super mad when he learns what actually happened. Nobody bullies his SO! Sails will leave rotten fish in their car later at night.

Lush: he gives the coldest smile known to monster kind as the temperature of the room practically drops. Any monster or human weaker to him is quaking in fear at his aura blasting at full force. Even his SO is looking at lush wide eyed, too stunned to even be mad at the blood. Lush “sweetly” tells the bully that they’re gonna pay his SO a ridiculous amount of gold in retribution. Bully is too cowed to do anything but nod.

Pepper: he saw the bully approaching from practically a mile away. As a fellow b*tch, pepper is an expert at spotting other b*tchy characters lol. Before they can reach SO, he does a well timed kick to bully’s ankle, making them trip and spill the blood all over themselves. Then pepper points and laughs like the bully he is

[creamyandrich]

for the writing, an idea:

being MTT's personal assistant and being asked to go get him food. And always getting the biggest meal or w/e they have. plump up the star. the ratings are loving the new bod so who's complaining

YEAH

Mettaton flung the door open, not even giving you an opportunity to knock as you approached his penthouse.

"Oh Darling! There you are! Finally! I'm absolutely famished, dear, you couldn't have been any faster?"

Before you could answer, he ushered you inside, directing you to drop off your armfuls of take-out bags onto his kitchen counter. As you rubbed your sore arms, you watched as he heaved himself onto a barstool at the counter, a small grunt hissing through his teeth. From the chest-up, Mettaton appeared as his usual stunning self, however, lately his lower half had rapidly swelled to frankly comical sizes. As Metta started to dig in to the buffet you brough home for him, you peeked around the counter and saw his huge thighs and ass overflowing from the seat of the barstool. Between his watermelon-sized thighs sat a beanbag chair of a gut, sagging down past his knees and softly jiggling at every small movement.

He noticed your stare and hummed happily, winking and licking some stray sauce off a finger before hungrily stuffing an entire burger down his gullet. You watched as it slid down his throat, sinking down past his chest and settling in his belly, making it that much bigger as he continued to feast...

Nearing the end of Mettamay! Recap and thoughts :D (This is just for fun lol)

I think this is the part where I drop off of drawing for Mettamay AAAA But hey, I did really good though! (imo ofc!) The number of days I did and how much I drew MTT himself was insane 👀👀👀

In total I accomplished days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27! So in total, 21 days! Holy shit LMFAO VERY proud at my commitment yo, I kinda wanna do this again next year if it's on! >:D (just remind me bc I WILL forget probably)

I've mostly dropped off by now, just bc I can't think of what to draw, and my motivation has moved to updating oc's for Art Fight BAHA But the fact I made it so far--- bonkers, bro, absolutely bonkers. This was INCREDIBLY fun and got me through pretty bad burnout, so yah! It was honestly very relaxing to just draw Mettaton for 21 days JHSDGHSD

Also, shout out to Mettamay for getting me to experiment with art aswell! Notably, I've become more comfortable not fully rendering with a painterly style, rather, just using a single pen brush in my software and doing pretty decent cell shading(?), which is epic as bc painting takes... SOOOO long JHDF

And honestly, imo to end off Mettamay for MYSELF Imma rank my favourite pieces I've done for this month, just to look back on and just for funsies KEKEKE

VV - UNDER THE CUT! BC THIS POST IS LONG AS HELL - VV

TO RECAP FOR MYSELF, My favourite pieces were these:

FIRST:

Mostly bc I am so SO happy with the rendering and colours JKSDHGFSD

SECOND:

First siting of me doing decent rendering in the whole of this challenge 🫵 This one was specifically a blast. The pose- not too great, but for me who is pretty shit at poses, I'm VERYYYYY happy with it >:D Very epic to see I also accomplished kinda comic-like background graphics, dunno how I did it JKHJGHSFGSDJ

THIRD:

i'm kinda insane about my AU MTT. Salty I forgot the weird cape banner wing things but I love this piece nonetheless ;;w;;! I'm so happy with the design, and getting the chance to draw it for Mettamay was a blast.

LASTLY/SPECIAL MENTION The amount of ghost MTT's I drew have to get their own spotlight. I had so so much fun drawing his ghost form, and honestly? NEW COMFORT CHARACTER UNLOCKED KJSHJHFDG

Who knew a hot pink ghost of my design would become a comfort PFFT Very happy at his design development since the first one LMAO Bro got edgier hair JHGGFJS thanks to my AU ghost MTT also having edgy af hair KJHJHSDJKDDHSDSJ

BUT YEAH Overall, Metta May was a BLAST And now that I experimented with drawing Mettaton, I think I'm comfortable drawing more of him now >:3 Just--- when motivation hits me LOL

WAT CHAIYO VORA VIHAN is situated at Chaiyo District, Angthong Province. This temple was built in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, and later in between BE 2400 to BE 2409 Somdej Pra Buddhachan Toh made a very large Buddha statue in Mara Vichai Gesture, the villagers called it “Luang Phor Toh” which means “huge Buddha statue”. The Luang Phor Toh was made from brick and coated with white plaster cement, and the statue was in an open area without a roof. This area is a birth place of his mother, “Ket”. As customs and cultural beliefs, Somdej Pra Buddhachan Toh made a Batch of Buddha amulets storing inside the body of Luang Phor Toh in memory and on the merit of his mother.

In BE 2430, Lord Rattanabordintorn (Rod Kanlayanamit) was appointed by King Rama V of Bangkok to the master of the restoration project of Wat Chaiyo. Lord Rattanabordintorn decided to make temple building to cover Luang Phor Toh, and the foundation work had destroyed Luang Phor Toh to crumble to the ground, and “Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo” amulets hidden in a chamber in the body of Luang Phor Toh spilled onto the ground, the villagers there picked them up and kept them for themselves, but thousands of the amulets were given to Luang Ta Rod, the Abbot of Wat Pho Griiap, Angthong Province and Luang Ta Rod stored them inside a small stupa/chedi at Wat Pho Griiap. After the completion of the restoration work, and Luang Phor Toh, the Principle Buddha Statue of Wat Chaiyo was restored, coated with black lacquer, and patched with gold foils, the new name was given by the King Rama V to “Pra Maha Buddha Pim” , and the temple was Given a new name to Wat Chaiyo Vora Vihan (Ket Chaiyo). At the same time, Lord Rattanabordin (Boonrod) ordered the villagers to bring back Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo amulets, and put them back inside the body of Pra Maha Buddha Pim, but allowed each villager to keep only few amulets. Those amulets were put back in the chamber inside the chest of “Pra Maha Buddha Pim”. Later in the year BE 2502 (CE 1959), Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo that Luang Ta Rod stored inside a small stupa/chedi at Wat Pho Griiap was robbed, and the chamber inside the small stupa/chedi was empty.

BEFORE BE 2500 (CE 1957), the batch of Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo was found inside Pra Maha Buddha Pim together with small numbers of Pra Somdej Wat Rakang made by Somdej Pra Buddhachan Toh, but the historians could not confirm that Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo amulets were truly made by Somdej Toh. However, the batch of Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo amulets was authenticated its provenance later in the year BE 2500 (CE 1957) after the chamber of stupa/chedi of Wat Mai Amataros (Wat Bang Khun Prom) was opened and the small quantity of Pra Somdej Ket Chaiyo amulets were also stored inside the chamber with Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prom amulets made by Somdej Pra Buddhachan Toh.

FASTING BUDDHA

After reaching enlightenment at Bodhgaya, Buddha meditated and fasted for forty-nine days. Thus, showing him as an emaciated renouncer relates to his enlightenment and his status as a yogic ascetic who has ultimate control over his body). In Buddhism, fasting is considered a method of purification. Fasting in Buddhism is to develop control of one’s attachments so the mind can be freed to develop higher awareness. Also fasting can be done so that one restricts from a pleasure (food) and dedicate it to someone sick, in need or dying. Basically to restrict one’s body from the normal food intake is to develop discipline, awareness, self-control and even appreciation for all one has.

After the completion of Pong Pattamang Holy Powder, it will be divided into 2 parts, one as “Pong Pattamang”, and another one is for making of the next Pong Itthijay Holy Powder. Then returning to the first process of making the chalk sticks and then follow the second process to drawn Itthijay cabalistic writings with sermons and prayers, and keep repeating the processes for the next 3 holy powders.

this is very out of date as of Oct

I don't want to delete this blog but it needs to get a big change if I keep it.

The original facets who made this blog.. no longer exist. I don't know when it happened but before I realised they weren't there anymore. I felt them back apart of me. And I don't feel like anything of them was kept around.

It was painful and out of no where. I wasn't ready. There are some who used this still around but the main posters are not. I don't really know what to do. It hurts. Healing is one thing but healing alone is painful. I wanted so bad to get past the programming but..

Sorry to not know what to do for now. I'm glad for the friends they made. I hope we can become if we don't know each other or stay friends if we do too.

Until then. - E

Circling

Cycles and patterns of pain being a monthly ritual. Due to bleed in a few days. I feel a heaviness In body and mind taking over; lethargy and depression rooted deep, gripping tight. Hard to see it as separate from who I am. Curious and unsure if it’s here with a message and a meaning. If I’m bypassing the game of life too much with high and mighty spiritual truths.

Where is the delicate balance of identity and not identifying. I don’t like it, I don’t like feeling this way. It’s tight and slow and sad. Full of sad. Eyes, arms, womb - everything full of sad. And why? What specific story concedes it. Is it even relevant for me to know, or is awareness and light, care and concern needed. Am I disassociating or detaching - unhealthy or healthy.

Trying to make sense of the insensible. Pushing myself too hard.. not hard for some, just for me. Too much and I crumble. Too much and this body can’t hold presence and power.

So today I sit in the sun. Meditate upon metta, loving kindness. Towards myself and all of the noise inside and out. Heavy and tired, sad and lonely hearted. A familiar story. Does it require action? Is my power and choice being called forth here or do I stay silent and witness. Grow the ability to watch and wait. Breathe. Go slow. Move slow and feel every sensation. Don’t miss a breath whilst life rearranges circumstances in my favour. Hold myself dearly, tightly, in love. Dropping internal conflict and contradiction. Here and now. Always here and now.

Softly

Slowly

NBA Rant: Delusions of Grandeur

Respectfully, f*ck Steven A. Smith for dismissing Kobe Bryant. Bean doesn’t deserve to be in the GOAT conversation? Are you f*cking kidding me? Are we talking the Kobe who dropped eighty-one of Jalen Rose and the Toronto Raptors? Are we talking the Kobe who lead his team to three consecutive Finals and two titles, with only Pau Gasol as the lone Superstar caliber talent by his side? Are we talking about arguably the keenest, sharpest, most brilliant basketball mind to ever step foot on a court? Look, I understand that Stephen A., and his industry as a whole, are out here feeding the trolls and stirring the pot for a living, but, my dude, stop. Just, stop. Dismissing Kobe Bryant from the GOAT conversation is just stupid, especially when you take into account that, long before LeBron entered the league, the GOAT conversation was between Kobe and Jordan almost exclusively. Kobe is, and always has been, the Air Apparent and for good reason. Gilbert Arenas made a great f*cking point. Cats always throw LeBron in there at number two because of his insane stats but Players don’t go by that. They go off of what you can do, with what you have. Every great on the list has a god given advantage. Jo0rdan had a forty inch vertical and gigantic hands. Shaq is just a whole ass tank. Bron is an athletic freak of nature. Magic is a 6’9” Point God with unlimited court vision. Kobe had none of that. What Kobe had was straight up tenacity. He was driven. He had work ethic. He had Mamba Mentality. If we're really going to sit here and asterisk Kobe’s first three titles because he played with Shaq, then we have to do the same for ALL of Bron’s titles, right? If we’re being fair. Bron won his first two on those Heatles squads alongside a revolving door of Hall of Fame talent but, more specifically, he ran the court with a prime Chris Bosh and just-outside-his-prime Dwayne Wade. The next two came after teaming up with Kobe’s number one Apostle and heir apparent, Kyrie Irving, and a Kevin Love who was putting up Double-Doubles like they were an afterthought on a middling Minnesota team for years. Even that Bubble Title can be written off because it was won in the goddamn Bubble! To take it a step further, I would even say, with my whole chest, the path to all of Kobe’s titles was far more difficult, considering he played during the era of the Super West. However, there is one, single, aspect, which puts Kobe over Bron and that’s the fact LeBron makes his teammates worse.

Kobe played alongside Shaq. Doing so freed Shaq up to become the Diesel. HE was able to find his most dominate self with Kobe. Pau Gasol found his most efficient self, playing alongside Bean. Metta World Peace won a whole ass title, tagging along with Bryant. We saw how ineffective Derek Fisher was when he left LA for Utah. Guess who didn’t play in Utah? The list goes on and on. Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown, Rick Fox, Nikola Vucevic, Luke Walton; Tons of players came through LA and found a place alongside Kobe to brilliant effect. One could make the argument that the Triangle had way more to do with that than Kobe, but I’ll raise you USA Basketball. After that Bron led team brought home Bronze, who did Coach K go and get? Kobe Bean Bryant. And what happened? The Redeem Team was born. Ask anyone on that team who the most important piece was, and they’ll tell you it was Kobe. On a team full of talent, stacked with first ballot Hall of Famers, including LeBron James, it was Kobe Bryant who turned the tide. His ethic, his mentality, changed the entire dynamic of that team. He made those guys better. Imagine how dynamic of a presence you have to have, in order to make guys like James, Anthony, Wade, Williams, Kidd, Irving, and Bosh, better. These cats are already giants in the league, superstars unto themselves, but Kobe’s leadership and work ethnic naturally made them better. His presence pushed those guys to an entirely different level, lessons they carried forth into the rest of their careers. LeBron James directly benefited from playing alongside Kobe Bryant. No one can say that about LeBron James. Quite the contrary, actually. Every talent peer LeBron has played with, outside of Kyrie Irving (probably because he had that Kobe in him), has had their game severely hampered. In order to win with LeBron, you have to defer to LeBron. If you don’t, you’re either shipped out or your game suffer severely. I mentioned the double-double Machine Kevin Love was right before he got traded to Cleveland? Yeah, alongside LeBron, he was a spot-up shooter. Love is a Power Forward by nature but couldn’t bang down low like he’s used to because that’s the space Bron works. King James can’t shoot like Kobe so he drives a lot. You can’t drive when you have a body in the key, eating up rebounds. Wade had to become a facilitator TO LeBron in order to make the Heatles work and Bosh contributed less to those runs than Ray Allen. Dude was THE Raptor after Vince left. On the Heatles, he was kind of just a body. I’m watching it happen to Anthony Davis as we speak, which is absolutely devastating because he’s my favorite active player. Cats talked about AD being the best PF to ever play the game, strictly based on his potential. Now, the chorus of NBA talking heads are out here chanting about his fall. Why? Because LeBron exists. LeBron James is just Russell Westbrook with better PR. They have the exact same issues which hinder teams. The only difference is that LeBron has been the face of the NBA since he was a teenager and Russ drove KD out of OKC. LeBron makes his teammates worse just by the nature of how he plays. Kobe made them better with how he prepares and leads. The former  facilitates egregious stats and superficial arguments of greatness. People who don’t understand the mettle of a champion will point to those longevity achievements in Bron’s body of work as proof he’s the best. Those who know basketball, who have played the game and understand the intangibles, will point to Bryant as their GOAT because of his impact on the game, overall. Statistically, LeBron is superior to Bryant in almost every way, outside of tiles. Ask this next generation of players who their GOAT is, and they don’t say LeBron, they say Kobe. Because the Mamba is one of, if not THE best, to play this game.

For me, as a fan, both Bryant and Bron are on my Rushmore. In order, I have Jordan first, Magic second (Magic Johnson is my all-time favorite NBA player), Kobe and Bron in a A-B situation. That’s my personal ranking, mostly because I watched Kobe play. I watched Kobe win. I am familiar with his work and how he got to that point. Listening to that man talk about the game, the way he saw basketball, is absolutely fascinating. His show, Detail, is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. You don’t get that same energy from Bron. He doesn’t have that tenacity or understanding. Few do. Mike did. Magic did. Bron doesn’t. If he did, his teams would be better in execution than all of the other cats I mentioned on this list, but they’re not. Only on paper. As a student of the game, that order shifts dramatically. I’d put Mike, first, then LeBron, Cap, and Magic. The difference? Kobe isn’t a freak of nature by any means. He is the median Shooting Guard, the generalization for that position. Mike is Mike. LeBron is LeBron. Cap developed the Skyhook and played into his eighties. Magic is THE best Point God to ever play the game of basketball. These four gentlemen are the archetypes for the BEST version of those positions, all-time. Everything Kobe had, he earned. He learned. Practice, preparation, attention to detail. Kobe is no one’s holotype for the Two, and yet, he is, arguably, the best to ever play that position. Arguably because I’d still put Jordan over him, personally, but I wouldn’t fight you if you slid Bean in that top spot.

Also while we're here, I know that if you talk to Hilda(post abyssals? Maybe?) She'll whisper you something you'll need in the future or something like that and, um. Hilda-

As for Deena's dad we are all just collectively ignoring what the main dev is saying on it and it's glorious. Did someone say something? Must've been the wind.

But anyhow, as for the types, Normal, Ghost, and Psychic are kicked out and Arcane is placed down instead. So back to 7.

The Hilda response will actually be after the main story and back at the Hidden Village, but it's kind of funny that the conversation before that was literally "I know that you're the King of Monsters now and the world is finally at peace, you're effectively immortal because of your mother Nara, and you have a army of Nexomon and humans by your side...But, it's always great to have a backup plan in case something bad happens, right?" That's definitely something that would've made the MC nervous right off the bat.

Yes, I also ignored JV's "lore drops" before I even knew the Discord channel existed, but it's fun to think about how much of a moral conundrum Ulzar and the N1 Protag would've gone through in-game when they had the chance to see Nara's son. Of course, they probably assumed it's some kind of genetic memory mumbo-jumbo or whatever secret Nexomon magic she has access to as Omnicron's kid; but Deena would just calmly explain that she doesn't have to explain everything that goes on in her body but assures them that her kid is a testament to humanity's best and will eventually unify both their species once he's of age...Then she's internally banging her head against a wall wondering how humans can be so smart but so stupid!? (A question that definitely popped up more than once in her lifetime, I'm sure of it :)

While I don't know how the Arcane-type will work in N3 besides the theme of magic (ie. witches and psychics) is already on a slippery slope, but it was also somewhat confirmed that there's going to be dual-type Nexomon as well. Either way, I'm sure the Abyssals' creator (Metta or bust) is going to have a field day with all the new combinations to either insult his siblings with "stronger" descendants (hc the main element Abyssals) or create another host of mutants to mess with the main cast for the fun of it.

Shifting Sans Chapter 6 "Oh Brother"

~

Chapter 1 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 7

~

"i see now why you called me," said "Sans" slowly as he finally broke eye contact to look at me appraisingly. "heya, kiddo."

I gasped a deep breath, finally released from his gaze, and swallowed hard. I really wasn't ready for this. I could only register that he was wearing a lot of purple as he very slowly walked around the chairs until he was standing in front of me; telegraphing his movements, obviously trying to not spook me.

Too late for that.

I leaned back, away from him, trapping the wings behind me, against the couch cushion. I'd almost forgotten about them. The overstimulation was very much not helping my mental state. He knelt down.

"my name is sans," he said quietly, calmly. I was too overwhelmed to feel much from him but his kindness and warmth were clear enough on his face. He held out his hand. "don't you know how to greet a new pal?"

I couldn't move. I couldn't breath. All I could do was stare into his too-familiar face. Holy fuck this is so weird.

My hand twitched towards him. I knew what was coming and I couldn't leave him hanging, but it took all of my willpower to move my hand over to his. He held it gently before we both squeezed at the same time, releasing a pair of loud fart sounds. We both snickered as the previous tension blew away with the passing wind. At least the time-space continuum didn't implode as soon as counterparts touched. That's nice.

"O-oh my g-god, Sans," Alphys recovered first. "You're such a ch-child!"

"Nah," I responded with a wink, my smile real for the first time tonight. "The ol' woopie cushion in the hand trick is always funny."

"blew me away," Sans agreed with a grin.

"I'm pretty good a winging it."

"so," Sans said with a chuckle. "what do you call yourself, buddy?"

"Well, I've been calling myself "Sans" but that's not really gonna fly so..." I paused. "Call me Serif."

I could see Metta's smirk over Sans' shoulder. I resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at him.

"well then, serif," he continued as he stood, pulling me up with him. He was about a head taller than me. "as curious as i am about you, i assume you've had a long enough evening already. the kid just took over my spare bedroom so the couch will have to do until we move my office out of the other one. that is, of course, if you're ok with that..."

I could feel his fragile hope, could see it plainly in his face as he looked away awkwardly, free hand on the back of his head. He hadn't let go of my hand and something in me really didn't want him to. I felt... safe? Like my magic recognized him as "me" and clung to the familiarity; two water droplets that finally connected. Honestly, there wasn't even a question.

"I think I'd like that," I said, looking up at him with a smile. He pulled me into a hug, chin barely reaching the top of my head as I was surrounded by a happy calm, and the tension of fear and confusion finally melted away with a sigh as I hugged him back. Such an intense feeling of belonging.

"heh, i always wanted a little brother..."

I'm home.

What a weird feeling.

I squeezed him tighter for a moment before reluctantly pulling away. We could hug more later. If he wanted to. I guess. I wasn't a huge fan of physical intimacy so that thought seems weird for a person I've only just met but I feel like I already know him intimately anyways. I'll think about it more later.

"I didn't come here with more than the clothes on my back," I said, having gone back to holding his hand. "So we can go whenever you're ready, I guess."

“i would've liked to see papyrus but i guess the discussion was too much for him," Sans said, looking up the stairs, disappointed. He turned to Tori and Metta. "would you two like a quick shortcut home or are you alright on your own?"

"A shortcut would be lovely, darling," Metta replied. "But you can just drop me off with Tori, I want to go over what we learned here while it's still fresh."

"sounds good," Sans replied with a nod before looking to me. "i'll be right back, bro, i promise."

My smile fell slightly as I nodded and reluctantly let go only to freeze when he kissed my forehead with a clack, face flushed the bright blue of my magic that I could almost see glowing in my peripherals. With a "schwip" sound, a sphere of light formed around Sans, Matta, and Tori, before it shrank into nothing and they were gone. I guess his "shortcuts" work differently than mine, which were more like portals or doorways. I must've been too distracted to hear their farewells to Alphys, who then turned to me.

"I g-guess that's that then," she said.

"Yeah..." I trailed off before shaking my head. "I never really got to thank you properly for saving my life before, so uh, thanks, Alphys, for not leaving me out to die in the elements, heh. And uh, tell Papyrus thanks for me too, and sorry for being a bit of a pain through all of this."

"D-don't sweat it," she smiled, waving away the need for an apology. "You've obviously b-been through a lot. Oh, and you h-had some slippers on when we f-found you, did you see them in the d-dryer?"

"I didn't look too closely," I admitted. "Had other things on my mind."

"I'll g-go find them," she offered, heading for the bathroom under the stairs. "Hopefully they didn't w-warp with the heat or anything..."

A ball of light expanded in the middle of the room with the opposite sound, more like a "pwish" as the light faded, and Sans was back. We both immediately reached for the others' hand. I blushed again with a nervous chuckle, looking away and scratching my cheek; hopefully I wasn't coming across as too needy. I'd always been the older brother before, never had one. It was nice. 

Something tells me I'm gonna have a lot of new experiences.

"F-found 'em," I was suddenly called back to the present as Alphys held out a pair of dingy slippers that had probably been white at some point.

"Right, thanks," I took them with my free hand, looking back up at Sans. "I'm ready."

Sans nodded.

"thanks for everything, al, and tell paps i missed seeing him."

"Will do," Alphys waved. "H-have a good night Sans, Serif.”

SCHWIP

LIGHT

PWISH

I blinked.

Well that was an interesting experience. Definitely different than my own shortcuts. Wait, with my changed magic, would my shortcuts have changed too? Can I even do shortcuts still? I didn't even think about what existing magic might've been altered with the-

I was pulled out of my spiral into a tight hug, steady arms wrapped around me protectively.

"i don't pretend to know what you've gone through," Sans breathed. "and you don't have to tell me until you're ready. but as long as you're with me i promise i won't let anything like that happen to you ever again, little brother."

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I returned the hug, burying my face in his neck. Don't make promises you can't keep. How could you possibly combat the resets if they're still happening? I wanted to believe him though. I wanted so badly to bask in the safety he offered, the feeling of home. Papyrus had been my only home for so long...

My breath hitched as I clung tighter. There was still a lot to do, a lot to check, but I could think about it later. Just a bit longer.

I can indulge in being happy for a minute, right?

...

Who am I kidding, I'm not that lucky.

I pulled away.

"I'm really tired," I said, still holding his hand. "Where's that couch you promised?"

"over there," he led me to the front room. "i'll get you a blanket."

I could feel Sans' disappointment as he walked away, finally dropping my hand; he really hadn't wanted to let go and was probably more used to indulging in happiness than I was. I mean, I was disappointed too but still...

I sat down on the old brown couch and traded my slippers for one of the pea green throw pillows, wondering how I was gonna lay down with my new wings when Sans came back. He unfolded a pretty blue blanket, gesturing for me to lay down but I hesitated, looking away and hugging the pillow tighter.

"I..." how selfish am I gonna be tonight? "I don't... wanna be alone... with my thoughts..."

With a warm smile and an almost giddy spike of happiness, Sans draped the blanket over one arm and sat next to me, then put an arm around my waist and pulled me close into his side. I blushed but didn't resist, strangely craving the physical comfort. Sans offered one corner of the blanket to me and I helped him pull it over us both as I snuggled into his side, resting my cheek against his chest. I tried to angle myself slightly for the wings but not even their hypersensitivity could keep me awake. I was too tired to find a better position. I guess hopping universes and nearly freezing to death will do that to a guy.

"If anyone asks," my voice slurred as I nuzzled unto him. "You can tell them I'm your clone. I heard about the barrier and decided now was a good time to come forward." I was drifting off already. "'s more complicated than that but that's the story we're going with."

I barely heard his "good night" as I slipped into oblivion.
