god damn i do not post often but can i talk about intentionality for a second?? one second please

i'm gonna be talking about bg3 but this really applies to any fandom space. people will, surface-level, agree that a Black character is not getting enough content compared to their white counterparts because it's. obvious . take wyll, who is several hours behind on voiced lines compared to other origins despite being one of the original five (before they added karlach and whiteified her too but that's another post). it's hard to deny cold hard facts

but then instead of engaging in content that uplifts Black characters and creators, they'll go right back to pumping out more and more content of just their white faves. on its own, it's not actively harmful, but here's what the implication is, whether they acknowledge it or not: yes wyll has less in-game content, yes his writing didn't get the attention it deserved, therefore i don't like him as much. it only perpetuates wyll's lack of content by contributing to his sidelining in fandom spaces

what i would love for fans who claim to be allies to do is to step out of the comfort zone of their initial favorites (which can, in fact, be biased!) and start pursuing content centering Black characters with intentionality. like all things, anti-racism (actively pushing back against racism rather than simply "Not Being Racist") takes practice and effort. you can't really agree with us that wyll needs more content, then in the same breath say that it's because of that that he's not interesting to you . the point was right in front of you doing a jig and you still missed it

#bg3 #wyll #wyll ravengard #this isnt even including people who didnt notice that wyll had less content in the first place #which is. a very damning admission. so you werent paying Any attention to him...? at all....? its obvious even on a first playthrough tf #i had to physically stop myself from saying specific white boy names in the main post bc i knew it would just be fanning the flames #and thats not productive. as much as i hate to admit it.#anyway we all know why halsin is so much more popular than wyll. the white man with as much personality as a cardboard cutout #ITS HARD TO APPRECIATE HIM WHEN HES 1) boring and 2) part of the reason wyll got less content bc adding him meant less time for the others #if people start things in the replies im deleting this post if im being honest. this needed to be said but #i am not in the habit of arguing with strangers on the internet and i am not starting now #tyto speaks #man i didnt even mention how white side characters with maybe 5 min total of screentime get so much fan content .#while wyll a whole ORIGIN character gets left out of party art and either infantilized or villianized beyond the point of recognition

Reading shit comics kind of sucks but at least I get the satisfaction of proving my own point w this

#like damn if i really was 100% right about this before i even knew what i was talking about #anyways one of the many many problems with new 52 wonder woman is the fact that diana isnt religious enough #also that azzarello and chiang are incapable of imagining a feminist utopia which is the original genre that wonder woman comics were based #in in the same way that batman for example is connected to the noir genre. and the mythological aspects of the og wonder woman comics were #in fact a common framing aspect of the feminist utopia genre of the progressive era (with many of the deeper greek mythology aspects being #established as the foremost ww genre later on)#anyways this failure to understand this layering of genres in the ww mythology i believe is the principle contributor of why this run which #is popular with many and has such a footprint in other more mainstream media is hated by so many longtime wonder woman fans in that it not #only neglects but actively goes against key parts of her premise #a comparison could be made to a superman run that is heavily based in science fiction and exploring deep sci fi genre plots without any #understanding by the creators of why it matters that superman is champion of the oppressed and disrespecting that core part of him by in #some ways making him actually go against that in service of the high sci fi genre plots and conflict #and then ofc to translate better in this reality this run would function like a can of worms in that while dc in comics would eventually #course correct back to the base version the public opinion would become divided and especially adaptations would need all the canon changes #from that run torn viciously out of their hands bc they refuse to LET IT GO #anyways yeah teehee i swore to someone id never read it but i needed it for fic research purposes unfortunately so i started it. only read 6 #issues but meh. first one wasnt terrible tbh id read worse but after that i got much more unhappy #anyways they simply dont understand why people like the amazons or why people should like the amazons. which again is like half the freaking #point bc like. feminist utopia genre. but i digress #its bad but its bad in a way that proves me right about why its bad so at least theres that #someday when i post my rebirth ww fic ill post the analysis of nu52 ww and the comparison to the beat movement/ginsberg that ive got in my #drafts. finally get that A in comic book literary analysis #blah

i want to put link in isat. im sure hed do fine. the heros spirit endures

#my post #i was gonna say like. 'probably not the worst thing the heros spirit has endured.' but actually #man. idk. ppl like to say majoras mask is super dark. i think bc ur constantly faced with tragedy in a very direct way #zelda is usually slightly less in your face abt that stuff. mm crosses the line for that juust enough for it to be Particularly Notable #loz generally isnt afraid to address the Horrors. or at least acknowledge them #i dont mean this in a 'mm is darkest zelda' or whatever kind of way. (see jacob gellers video 'every zelda is the dsrkest zelda')#i mean it as like. mm is just louder about it #yknow. but is mm is speaking loudly then. if u put isat next to loz then it would drown mm out quite easily #in large part bc the story is just told differently #the characters are much more expressive in every way. bc the story is being told through expression #whereas loz tells stories specifically via player action #if that makes sense?#loz focuses on the journey. isat focuses on how the journey feels #not to mention links permanent 😶. which definitely influences this #honestly link as a general character (tho especially botw link) is very similar to siffrin. im not gonna try to put that into words rn but #maybe another time #anyways. if isat were told more like a zelda game i think it would be along mm and botw #i say those 2 specifically bc time loop and death and loss. lol #if the reverse were true. if loz ganes were told more like isat. then god dude i dunno #i might go through the plots of each and measure out how much i think the bitch(link) is Going Through It sometime #not rn. but sometime #initial gut thoughts tho. i think probably oot sksw la andd. possibly ww. wojld have similar emotional impact #sksw especially. have you seen his face when he sees zelda in the crystal thing. god #id say botw too but tbh. i kind of think its emotional impact is best as is.#it leaves itself a lot of room to breathe. you can rlly like. think abt it.#man these tags are off topic from the original post. eh its my post who care

personal experience time for prosperity, so i've mentioned that one piece is the reason I'm okay with the fact I'm bisexual now, which i thought it was self evident why that was but I'll explain because i feel like it gives perspective on why im so pro-sexualized/the narrative seeing this character as attractive (when appropriate obviously and i think op does a good job of doing that for the most part) for nami/robin (mainly talking about my experience with nami)

so previously ive had issues with never being attracted to female fictional characters, (I've been attracted to real human women very briefly throughout my life. i just dont hang out with a lot of people and the majority of them arent girls) and that was a problem even though i knew I was able to be attracted to girls I didn't feel like i was able to identify with that part of myself, (as a trans man, I've always felt very pushed into wlw spaces which I think isn't good and even though I have alters that identify as women we've never as a whole ever thought we were wlw) the problem was, when youre asked to be attracted to fictional women 99% of that is either objectification or look this character is hot! and then her actual character is nonexistent. which is a problem for me, because in my experience strong attraction comes from both how much i relate to someone and how much I admire them, so if I'm at large completely unable to relate to female characters, it puts me in a really fucking tough spot and i end up never being able to explore attraction like that in a fictional space. you see, you could point out to me that there's wlw characters and experiences that could've helped me? which, I'll point you to the fact I'm a man and secondly, I tried that. but I'm a man and unfortunately while I can appreciate gay girls in fiction i don't connect with them like that.

where this changed for me was a year ago when I watched one piece and then immediately was blasted by girls who were very obviously seen as attractive but were some of the best written female characters i had ever fucking seen since having that crush on that original character,

and there were men in the context of the fiction that were attracted to nami for the exact same reasons I was ??? (sanji/zoro in arlong park) and these men were being defined by having a crush on or being attracted to nami, and she was the one in control (another reason I couldnt connect with m/f couples: i wanted to be held by a girl and taken care of by a girl not the other way around)

and she struggled with mental health like i did so of course i could relate to her! and i was being encouraged by nami herself to see her as attractive so i didn't feel creepy like i did all of the other times (being a man and being attracted to women and inherently feeling creepy was a huge issue for me) and she was seen as a whole person, a whole entire beautiful person. the fact she was so complicated and detailed made her more attractive, and the fact i could connect and relate to her and have loving her mean that I love aspects of myself i couldnt expect?? I just loved her and i was attracted to her and I couldn't control it so it had me let go of my fear without me even realizing it was happening.

i literally havent felt creepy expressing my attraction to women since.

i simply needed to figure out how to be attracted to women- nami- because i was attracted to her so immediately and so intensely that being attracted to her meant i immediately became more articulate about it because i loved her so much it burst out of me.

the fact people saw nami as attractive was both good for me, someone who finds her attractive and struggled with expressing my attraction to women and was only attracted to fictional women who were entire people!, but also allowed me to feel loved myself as a person with mental health issues similar to hers.

basically, TLDR, i think viewing female fictional characters as attractive is fine as long as they're entire people who aren't reduced to their relationship to men, and is really fucking good actually both on the level that people get to see themselves as attractive and that it rightfully sends the message that women are more attractive when they are understood as whole people with lives and flaws (that can exist outside of traditional heterosexuality).

#modposts #op #one piece #meta #cat burglar nami #nico robin #sexualization #fave #one of the best posts ive probably ever made honestly ha #not to toot my own horn #um if youre wondering who my ORIGINAL waifu was maybe if you buy the lore dlc ill tell you #to be clear you can obviously criticize ops use of sexualization and viewing female characters as attractive but imo the vast majority #is not bad and unintrusive #there is parts that deserve to be rightfully criticized but simply not i think to the degree people express like its ALL bad and nami #and robin should never be sexualized ever #which isnt true

microdosing on cannibalizing my own flesh by reading Richard Silken poems. and falling in love

#this post was brought to you by kaz. ty for the organposting kaz #cannibalism #the triangle of cannibalism #got to have a delightful car ride w #cosmic #and his mom this weekend where we talked about technology and volleyball and poetry #and i got to lose my mind about ''these our bodies possessed by light/tell me we'll never get used to it'' which still rips my guts out #and feeds them to me. to this day. every time i read those lines i become a little more unraveled. my god #richard you minx. i could hug you #richard siken #snowswords #oh yeah and the inherent destruction of building a partnership. its good destruction. you gotta figure out how to be part of a whole #that's life in general too. i think doing romance with people really puts a microscope on the process. at least for me.#like damn being with cosmic means i have less freedom to up and do whatever i want. i can still do almost anything i want but now it's #important to give him a heads up. or maybe he'd like to do this too i should wait for him. or there's something he'd like to do that #im invited along for!! i'll do the original thing i wanted to do another time so we can do this now #yknow? yeah. im destroying snow (singular) to create snow (member of duo). and that helps me remember ive never really been a singular enti #this is its own post isnt it. ok wait #Richard silken #sigh spelled his name wrong the first time my bad

This is completely brought on by the last post but it really bugs me when people are so insistent that a story needs Monsters or Extra Terrestrial Beings to be scary.

The two examples used were Infinite Ikea and the Backrooms but like. At very least to me the addition of monsters just makes the story go from really good to fucking boring so quickly.

The horror is being stuck in an overly familiar place that you would expect to have an exit and being unable to find one. It's being seemingly infinitely lost in a place you would normally be able to traverse with no issues. It's like... weaponizing the familiarity of places you know and making what was once thought to be safe, possibly dangerous.

You put a monster in it and you just turn that whole idea into just "What if you were in the Minotaurs labyrinth would that be fucked up or what"

#unnecessary hill to die on #yadda yadda yadda #i think when a monster in a setting like this works vs doesnt work is when it ADDS to the mystery versus possibly provides an explanation #like the type of backrooms monster that doesnt work is one thats visible. at all really #like idk if it was a part of the original post or i saw elsewhere but a concept i saw for a backrooms monster i liked was #one where you only heard whatever monster it was chasing/stalking you. you did not sed it you dont know what it is. but you know to run #because it ADDS questions! 'what the fuck is that' 'where am i' 'why is it here' 'why am *I* here' - fantastic! unsettling! uneasy!#monster is [killer office worker/killer hotel staff/aliens] - oh its [haunted office/haunted hotel/some alien experiment or something]#<- while not DIRECTLY giving an answer as to why you could make up reasons to explain it. which makes it known which isnt as scary #but like. the questions have to kinda coherent to? like 'killer santa in infinite ikea' just sounds ridiculous. youre just thinking 'huh??'#i think if you wanted to make the employee monsters in infinite ikea more interesting theyd work better if they seemed normal until night #bc having them always be monsterous kind of immediately sets the tone to horror instead of a buid up?#like you go into the establishment. see this Too Tall guy with no face and go ''welp. im fucked''#instead of the build up of what you thought was normal to be not normal #im getting tired thinking too much imma quit now

did you know? does it matter? did you know? does it matter?

#tide of consciousness #is this song about one thing? yes #have i taken this song and given it completely different meaning personal to me that i won't ever fully explain? yes #funnily enough the original theme works very well which i suppose isnt much of a coincidence because it is of course the same source #but sometimes when i take songs out of context for my own purposes the original one is sooo off beat #but yes you know i do suppose the original meaning of this song might also be relevant to the new meaning of this song #i almost just posted every lyric but realized that woudl be a little silly so i cut it up for you (it is still basically half)#i'm the whole of you and you are only part of me i'm the whole of you and you are only part of me i'm the whole of you and you are only par #i'm the whole of you and you are only part of me #i'm the whole of you and you are only part of me i'm the whole of you and you are only part of me #ash to dust dust to me

No more slacking! I'm on the job! Yes, I know that everyone has to play their part -Come on! Rev the engines of this beast!

[ID: Disheveled doodle of Cel from TFJ's bad end in chromatic aberration, meant to give off an abstract horror effect. Their entire appearance is nearly glitched out and overshadowed. The main trait emphasized being their wide eyed cyan stare in front of their completely wrapped face, and a long purple tear streak dripping down. Bits of binary code are crowding Cel's eye. /End ID]

@nightcrawlerzincorporated Exactly the point i was making with this post thank u 🥹💛

Season 6 // Season 16

#ive been fixated on this 4ever cuz i think its such a fascinating aspect of their dynamic!!!#but also to be fair like Tai said the twins couldnt even pull the plug on a nazi so BSJDBSNHS #i still think charlie manipulating frank and against the twins specifically is Very much baked in tho even now… and the PROGRESSION of it?o #watching Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender w this pov makes it SO interesting #i mean they also just straight up confirmed this in s11 w charlie changing the prescription on franks glasses #and i will bet u 100% that that is NOT the only case of this #like all the things where ppl are like ‘awww charlie does this for him…’ like the navigation tapes #cuz i think Yes it is coming from a genuine place. but also manipulative place of making frank dependent on him #and i dont want ppl to get it twisted like w the charden resentment stuff..cuz im not saying the two feelings CANT co eixst #they DO and thats what i find interesting but not a lot of ppl wanna talk abt the manipulative side nd thats fine but i rllyrlly do #doesnt mean the sweet genuine side isnt still apart of this. i just wanna talk abt this side of it Too #but also thats the whole subtext… how long until doing that for manipulation purposes becomes Genuine #its why they mirror macdennis!!! just different dynamics #im serious i think when frank moved in all of the bonding was initially a part of a still ongoing long con to get franks money #cuz that would fit w robs original vision of sunny HOWEVER i think its only gotten more interesting #bc charlie is now GENUINELY so emotionally entangled in frank that its way more complicated now for him #and thats GUT wrenching to me i want it so bad #i made that one post paralleling charfrank to [redacted] and no one needs to see that but i still stand by the general sentiment NSJDBEJ…#aaand… part of me wondered if Inflates was foreshadowing for The End..#charlie does this shit and bc hes loyal like a dog he did this for not just him but FOR THE GANG #and so theyre all excited abt that but charlie is just sort of lagging behind #i can see the scene so clearly in my minds eye #cuz yknow. charlie has come to represent the gangs Conscience in a way #s15 ily sm #[queue that post someone made post s15 finale abt charlie being the foundation ..yeah]#which is so interesting how far hes come from s1 to THAT #again i think there should always be room for both the sincere charlie and how generally manipulative he is #i think both can and Should coexist #esp since manipulation comes The Most naturally to him compared esp to someone like dennis #dee is much better but charlie is still The Best at it… thats why frank loves nd believes in him the most LOL

i wrote this in the notes of another post originally and am copy + pasting it here because im right but "tell the cops nothing, tell the doctors everything" is such a stupid ass fucking abled take. doctors engage in policing idk how to explain to yall that some people cannot in fact just tell doctors everything without it putting them at risk

like im not gonna go into the myriad of ways this is bs but like a quick example is i cant tell my doctors about my substance use issues because if i get that listed on my medical records it will actively endanger me. It will impact how I'm treated in emergency situations and will get me labeled as "drug seeking" when i try to get other issues dealt with.

i dont say this to scare people but because this is actually important information for people to have. if a medical professional claims this isnt an issue, they are NOT "one of the good ones". they are either straight up lying or theyre utterly unaware, which is frankly not better. doctors are cops. never forget it

like YES tell ur doctor abt being sexually active but stop saying "tell the cops nothing and the doctor everything" before i start killing in cold blood

I KNOW THE ORIGINAL QUOTE. This is about how people misquote it, as well as how they view the phrase as meaning "all medical professionals". ALSO! emts are not the neutral figures you think they are. please stop spewing your lack of understanding on the topic all over my tags, its embarrassing. Paramedics kill people and engage in policing stop fucking shilling for them indiscriminately

finally, THIS POST IS ABOUT DRUGS. FIRST AND FOREMOST IT IS ABOUT DRUGS. THIS WAS WRITTEN BY AN ADDICT. the way yall are talking about addicts and drugs users in the tags is so fucking dehumanising. you are part of the problem. Id suggest non addicts shut their traps please and thank you.

similarly, before you comment, ask youself: am i an addict ? do i have an understanding of how addicts, particularly otherwise disabled addicts, have to navigate healthcare systems ? if not, consider SHUTTING THE FUCK UP. hope this helps !

read the notes before you leave a comment im so fucking serious. reblogs are off because none of you know how to act and i have zero patience at this point. if you think im being bitchy pls consider the fact that your stupid comment does not exist in a vacuum and i have received and deleted countless stupid notes and abusive asks on and about this post and your stupid comment exists within that context and i am fucking tired.

#ceci says stuff #this is a doctor hate blog #disability #1k #2k #3k #4k #5k #6k

goals for june are to reread/watch media that makes me Feel Something and hopefully by july i will be able to synthesize that into meaningful artistic output

#i know i can do mhe in 2 days and hol in probably a week but i want to take longer and pause to write shit down and hopefully come up with #some kind of mind map of story structure + themes + isolated plot points ive been carrying around in my head for years #i may legitimately make a deranged bulletin board with string connecting the pins bc evidently Posting/writing in the notes app isnt enough #i just keep getting more frustrated with my own inability to push a story to not even completion but just the point of being Substantial #too many disparate threads running around pulling in different directions but all leashed to the same core concepts in a way that means #i cant do all of them separately without retreading a lot of the same ground and also taking a billion million years #SIGH. i think what really needs to happen is unyoking myself from some of the things ive been treating as immutable fixtures #like i have to tear some of it down and rebuild it from scratch so that all the parts actually fit together #which is difficult cause some of this shit has been in my head since 2018 or even longer. but by god i will do what it takes to actually #write a mostly coherent original story that other people can experience

Portfolio advice, from a lead who hires Concept Artists

(This was originally a twitter thread I wrote before the site self imolated, hense it's strange structure.) I wrote this after a weekend of portfolio reviews - 1. Like a maths exam, please please show your working. I want to see thumbs options, mid options and of course a final design.

2. Arrange your portfolio, I don't want to bounce about between subject matter and pipeline. Your portfolio's narrative should be as strong as your work... 3. Please make worlds that excite the viewer, make them want to go in and explore them, explain to them the interesting parts of the town, or the way the character's hat unfolds. How will this draw the viewer in? 4. As I've said before the majority of your project work is explanatory not mood, make sure your portfolio contains explanatory work. Explained here -

5. A lot of beautiful post apocolyptic paintings, , but 80% of realistic games and film, we just give the environment artists photo ref, they are capable artists in their own right. Different work in stylised where you do need to create rules for how things can be translated. 6. Production art contains call out sheets, material references and flat graphics. This doesn't have to be your final image, but it should support it.

7. Design characters on a swatch(es) of the environment they will be viewed in. Not on white. I make swatch backgrounds from screenshots, it avoids assumptions that damage readability. 8. Reverse of this, put people in your environments, show me the scale.

9. It's not a deal breaker for a review, but if you intend to get a job, please show me your work on a screen larger than a smartphone (print outs probably the cheapest option with the best battery life). 10. Please have your contact details clearly visible, and by that I mean email address, I will not pass your social media contact on, I cannot input your form into my tracking system. EMAIL ADDRESS emblazoned and bake it in, sometimes recruiters do funky stuff to pdfs

11. Your portfolio will never feel done, not to you anyway. You will have learnt from your latest pieces and want to apply it to older work. But we know art is a journey. Send your portfolio anyway. I've been in the industry 10+ years and my portfolio is still not 'finished'. 12. If you are applying to an environment centric Concept Art position then please vary your times of day! Golden hour is cool but show me some happy sunny days, looming overcast days, what about at night? Vary your weather too! Sunny snowy day? Rainy Spring day? Stormy night?

13. If you are applying for a character centric Concept Art role then please ensure your portfolio shows a variety of body types and ethnicities. 14. Designing characters for games? Please show back views and feet (!) Many potfolios contain only front views. This is a problem because:

You haven't shown you are considering the design from all angles.

In many games rear view is the main view.

Stop cropping feet.

15. If you are entry / graduating and looking at Portfolios to compare content and standard of yr own work too, look at hired grad/junior artists as opposed to seniors Seniors and leads often have old or personal work in their portfolio which isnt representative of the day job. 16a. Show clearly the intended use case for your Concept Art. Mention the game type in the description. Are these player character designs for a 3rd person adventure game? Then more back views please. Bonus points for diagetic ways of showing health / equipment / role etc.

16b. Are these designs for an FPS? Then really the player view of the gun needs to sell the player style/ choices, in an FPS your weapons are almost your character. Are these world designs? What's the view distance? For an RTS your shapes need to read from above & a distance. 16c. The lack of clarification means I am judging the design in isolation, which both harms the design (you might be considering the backview of a char as the main adventure character.) Or an NPC, their waist up expressions may be important for conveying exposition and mechanics.

16d. Concept art is not separate from gameplay, great concept art serves the game team before it is a good illustration.

17. Play games. A variety of games. Think about them. IMO to be a good concept artist you need to understand the common language & references used by your peers. Also understand the principles and common language your audience are used to. FPS design rules are v.diff from RTS.

18. There are many skills that are needed in concept art, please show them. For example: Graphic design - logos, liveries, typographic use etc. VFX concepts - Abilities, Ambience, motion concepts. Architectural knowledge - How buildings are built! & more but I'm out of space :O

#rat rambles #band posting #I wish I could the potential is there #they just dont have any rly standout songs to me unfortunatley #theyre not bad to be clear I just cant click with any of their originals #they have a cover I rly like and I rly liked some parts of the unraveled cover but other than that no strong morf opinions music wise #for the record they r my dead last music wise Im so sorry guys again ur not bad I just cant click </3 #and upon thinking abt it overall ras probably has my favorite originals which isnt surprising #Im not sure whos in 4-2nd tho cause I know my bottom 3 r morfonica afterglow and hhw and I know my top is ras #psupare while having some of my top favorite songs in the whole game have a lot more songs that are just not my taste so I think alas #theyre probably 4th? roselia and popipa are tricky tho #theyre both big I can like a lot of their music but only when Im in the mood vibes #I have more roselia songs that I actively adore but also more that I typically skip in playlists #and popipa has more general listenability to me but less that Id go out of my way to listen to #but tbf I think they also have more songs in my main playlist?#honestly I think popipa get 2nd just because if I was forced to listen to a playlist of both of their originals I thibk Id last longer for #popipa + the more I think abt it the more I wanna actually bring pasupare up to 3rd just cause I rly do love the ones I do love a Lot #so I think its 1 ras 2 popipa 3 pasupare 4 roselia 5 hhw 6 afterglow 7 morfonica #also for the record with hhw I have songs of theirs I hold soso near and dear to my heart but alas they r just outcompeted #plus my favorites of theirs arent nearly as big of favorites as like re birthday or hell or hell for example #actually I might switch popipa and pasupare I know I know I said that the rest od their music balances out my favoritws but u dont get it I #ADORE my favorite pasupare songs SO much they r high key some of my favorite bndori songs period #one day my favorite will get a full version 😔

EXACTLY!!! EXACTLY!!!! LITERALLY MY REACTION WHEN I FOUND THIS OLD ASK!!!! LIKE OMG??? (i dont exactly know how far back horror lost his memory but anyways) LIKE DUDE. DUDE. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT HIM RUINING HIS OWN LIFE. EVERYONE ELSES LIVES. LITERALLY DOOMING THEM!!! AND THEN THE ONLY PERSON HE DECENTLY TRUSTS ACTUALLY NO. EVERYONE AROUND HIM. KNOWS SOMETHING THAT HE DOESN'T. SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT TO HIM THAT LIKE RUAGAHDYAUSGSUWYSAG. AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO REALLY DOES TRULY KNOW IS UNDYNE!!! ONLY UNDYNE!!! NOBODY ELSE!!!

ITS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN SEEING THIS DRAWN OUT IN THE COMIC,,,,, IM SO EXCITED. i wonder what other kind of "undyne laws" there are in horrortale,,,,,,,, (unfortunately now i have to factor this in when characterizing horror. a shame. add another layer to the pile of layers already i guess,,,,,)

horror's crashout when he finds out in horrortale..... omg....... I CANNOT WAIT IM SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM LOSE HIS SHIT!!!!! FUCK YES!!!!!!!! he'd find out that EVERYONES been LYING TO HIS FUCKING FACE. FOR SEVEN YEARS!!!! SEVEN YEARS OF LIES!!!!! oh my god maybe this would be a betrayal even WORSE than undyne and alphys's because it comes from snowdin. it comes from PAPYRUS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CALM HIM DOWN FROM THIS WHAAAAT!!!!!

he probably thinks he's been doing all of this for a good righteous cause even though it sucks and he hates it. and then he finds out that all of the suffering and going against his own morals came from an impulsive spiteful choice???? dude HAS to kill someone in the crashout im sorry horror's tweak out has to be on the CORE incident levels of crazy

#it isnt common knowledge bc this blog got clensed before many probably coild see it ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️#thank GOD for the wayback machine because istg my lord and savior!!! thank you!!!!!#im SO glad i found these asks. granted theyre only about horror specifically BJT STILL #not like its stuff i didnt already....... mostly know but anyways #like i found asks about the origin of horror's axe vs the butcher knife vs the bone club thingy #and the limit of his magic which is a well known fact that he cant summon blasters and blue magic #(but at least now i know it's due to his head injury and NOT starvation. although that probably plays a part idk)#he still does have KR which is shown in chapter 4 but we dont know his exact LV now post CORE #(i meaaan like. he definitely has LV. bros preeeetty willing to kill and is apathetic to that stuff)#(my guesstimate is in like 10-15 range. hed probably have a bit more remorse than dust who's maxed out)#ANYWAYS i pray that one day SAS will do a qna event maybe..... i can ask horror related questions!!!! USDGHASH!!!!!!!#tricule rant
