27 November 2024. Today's media is:

Undertale

The logo of the game

Kind of Media: Video Game

Type: Indie/RPG:

Description: Undertale is a 2015 2D role-playing video game created by American indie developer Toby Fox. The player controls a child who has fallen into the Underground: a large, secluded region under the surface of the Earth, separated by a magical barrier.

My Opinion:

UNDERTALE!!! The game that introduced me to AUs and my comfort game... It helped me when times were rough, and it's kinda the reason why I didn't give up on writing! The story is wholesome, the characters are WONDERFUL and the fandom? Okay, the fandom is actually a 6/10 because it has... Some unusual stuff. *points at sans x frisk* Yeah, some people are more messed up. But that doesn't mean the fandom is bad! I would rather say that it's very great, with good au owners. An honorable mention is Twin Runes's writer, @akanemnon. It's tied to the bonus media tho :3

BONUS MEDIA!!!

Deltarune

The logo of the game

Kind of Media: Video Game

Type: Indie/RPG

Description: Deltarune is an episodic role-playing video game developed by Toby Fox as a follow-up to his 2015 video game Undertale. In the game, the player controls a human teenager, Kris, who is destined to save the world together with Susie, a monster, and Ralsei, a prince from the Dark World.

My Opinion:

Of course, Deltarune is tagging along! It's a wonder how a game that's like a sequel to Undertale is... So different. It's almost the opposite. But in some way... The same. It's very silly most of the time, and it really acts like the big Toby Fox himself made an AU for his own game. But that doesn't mean the fandom is less weirder than Undertale's! Hahahahaha it would never happen. The Tumblr sexyman polls say it all. BUT. Considering that Deltarune is also playing a big part in my life, like Undertale, you get some recommendations!!! Check @ultrabean's au!! Very cool au, 10/10. Also Twin Runes is a crossover of Deltarune and Undertale! I recommend playing the games before reading their comics tho...

Note for all the tagged people: I'M SORRY FOR THE RANDOM TAGS, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET PEOPLE HOOKED INTO THE UTDR-VERSE TwT

Aight so to break this down, we're assuming it was a violent crime, not self-defense, that harmed someone in some way, that has already been reported by someone, and I am a witness being asked to give my statement of events, which I cannot avoid. Okay. Okay? Okay. Already super specific and unlikely but okay

First off, yall gotta understand how a statement works. In a good witness statement, you only say the truth as you observed it. And unless something is as true as you can possibly believe something to be, you don't say it.

So, do you know the person was trans? How? Did they show you their medical records, complete with photographs and a PowerPoint presentation? Did you see a Trans Woman (because, let's be honest, nobody bringing up these hypothetical is imagining a trans man committing violent crimes), or did you see a woman with broad shoulders? Did you see a trans woman, or a woman with facial hair? A trans woman, or a woman with a low voice? A tall woman? A muscular woman? A woman with a wig?

Those are useful descriptors. "Trans woman" is more often than not your opinion, or your assumption, and not a truth you can back up with evidence. I've met plenty of cis women with these characteristics and it has meant nothing.

Second, I personally have witnessed a break-in where a cis dude tried to throw the cops off by wearing a long wig and stuffing socks into his shirt. THAT was a costume, and you can take a costume off later. A woman who is a woman at 5pm during an aggravated assault is still a woman at 8:30 on Tuesday getting the waffle house early bird special. The cis dude was embarassed to be in drag and took the outfit off in the get-away car. SAY what you SEE. You're not running into them later.

Third, calling the cops sucks shit. If someone's already done it, that's not on you, but the second you say "trans lady", the cop ain't thinking about other identifiable features, they're building a list in their head of every trans lady they've arrested in the past five years and trying to figure out which one fits your story better. SOMEONE is going to get a visit later. "Six foot tall brunette in a purple tracksuit" is someone you have to LOOK for.

Fourth. Who even gives a shit, man

"You see a trans person commit a crime. Do you describe them as trans to police?"

I mean first off my answer is highly dependant on context. Second off, No

more peak tier anakin behavior (and also an unfathomably incredible choice by stover to include) is anakin not noticing that palpatine was trying to imply obi-wan was fucking his wife, because he assumed that if obi-wan WAS fucking a senator, it would be a man, and it's enough to rouse him from his exhausted, annoyed haze into sitting up, because they need to go find this man Right Now. brilliant. iconic. 10/10 content and prose. god bless this book

I hear a lot of talk about how Hollywood isn't comfortable with showing romantic relationships, interracial or otherwise, without a white person involved. But I'm not sure that fans are actually comfortable with that either? And I don't think they're comfortable without a significant white (white male specifically) presence in their favorite genre shows.

I've seen a lot of posts in the wake of tsc calling out how the Foxes mistreated Kevin and never really gave him the same degree of compassion and patience that they gave Neil (and like, fair enough, there's definitely a disparity in how the two are treated by the broader team) but I think it's important to remember that it's very likely most of the Foxes didn't know just how bad things in the Nest were, especially when Kevin first came to Palmetto.

Like, they knew he'd been hurt badly, but were they ever told the full extent of the abuse in thr Nest? Probably not, because unlike Jean, Kevin was media trained. It was ingrained habit for him to conceal the true conditions inside the Nest to all outsiders, and that's not a habit he'd have been able to break easily. The only people who knew the full extent of what he'd been through were probably Wymack, Bee and Andrew.

Add to that Kevin's abrasive personality and his tendency towards nitpicking and perfectionism, and it's no wonder that the Foxes' patience with him ran thin after a while.

Therapy bots AU I’m making with @flinxypie where you have a lil accident at your job at the pizzaplex and early into your recovery they show up at your house to finish the job therapise you and it’s pure shenanigans and dreamscape misadventures from there onwards.

(A bit more AU info under the cut)

Sun used to work at the Fazbear theatre until it closed, then he was repurposed to work at the Superstar Daycare until it closed too. After spending a loooong time begging any human staff he could find to let him do something (anything) useful instead of just collecting dust, he was given this new job as a therapy bot - and it came with a few neat upgrades too. But of course that meant having to pretend he knew what he was doing. And of course that meant having to pretend that Fazbear Entertainment had good intentions. And of course that meant Moon was coming with him too.

Moon used to be Sun’s partner in crime at the theatre, performing onstage with him every day until one day he just …switched off and wouldn’t respond. He was always a little glitchy, and there was a reason for that. With no body to call his own, Moon took to the dreamscape, where he was used to conduct dream experiments of the soul-trapping kind in secret. Now he’s back in his body, and he’s struggling to adapt to the world around him (especially during the day), but in the dreamscape he knows all sorts of (bad) therapy concepts he can introduce you (and Sun) to, and he may find yet another willing participant to drag into dreamland with him.

Plot points that come up include:

- The time you went out for a walk and Moon buried himself under a pile of leaves because it was sunny outside and you never found out where Sun picked up that potted plant from but he showed it to you anyway because he thought it’d make you smile

- The time Sun thought he was taking you to the beach but it was actually just one of those pop up places they put in towns but at least social anxiety is slightly easier or at least more amusing when you’ve got a robot friend by your side who didn’t know it wasn’t the real beach

- The time Moon almost got you to sleep so he could take you to the land of dreams but then there was a gotdang cricket chirping in the room because bearded dragons gotta eat

- The time you went to the dreamscape and fused with Sun and Moon and having their thoughts in your head was weird

And much much more (probably)!
