The unlikely jackal-headed companion 🐺🎃

Ror!Anubis x fem!reader

➩ A modern day girl who's favourite interest had always been Egyptian mythology, especially the god Anubis.

Found her adult life to be rather boring, so when she stumbled upon a website that could help her summon these ancient gods.

For fun she tries it, not expecting it to work until she is proven wrong and now Anubis himself has entered the mortal realm, as well as her home.

➩ Reader type: fem!reader.

⚠: Platonic & Romantic Fluff!!

In a small suburban town, nestled between towering buildings and grey streets, lived a young lonesome woman named y/n.

She was currently seated in her room adorned with posters of ancient Egyptian art and books, filled with its fascinating mythology, gods and history.

Something y/n had been fond of ever since she was a child.

But life as an adult was rather boring now, with work and other tasks keeping her away from her interests and hobbies.

Until y/n felt that sudden urge of curiosity again, rushing through her mind and body.

Soon enough y/n found herself engrossed scrolling online, stumbling upon an online tutorial on summoning the ancient Egyptian gods.

Half out of scepticism and half out of sheer boredom, y/n decided to try the summoning ritual for Anubis.

After all, Anubis was one of her favourite deities. Y/n chuckled at the stupidity and the fact this wasn't going to work.

Because it wouldn't, right?

She gathered the necessary items - candles, incense, and a makeshift altar adorned with skulls and other trinkets she found around the house.

Thinking to herself:

"If Anubis really does exist he would definitely like these, hah!"

As y/n chanted the ancient words she had gotten from the website, with a hint of amusement, she never expected anything to happen.

But to her surprise, a sudden wind and glow enveloped the room, and a mysterious figure materialised before her.

Anubis, the god of the afterlife with his jackal head, stood before her in all his majestic glory.

Y/n eyes widened in disbelief as she stumbled backward, tripping and falling to the ground. Her heart was racing in her chest, more than ever before.

"W-What..?! That wasn't supposed to-"

Y/n stutters to herself, trying to keep her cool as she shakes uncontrollably at Anubis's presence.

Anubis, as he looked around the room slowly, taking in his new surroundings was still barely visible to really make out. Because of the sudden glow to have hit the room.

While trying to adjust her sight, y/n was certain Anubis was here to collect her soul or at least judge her heart for having called upon him as a joke.

However, to her shock when the god spoke, he sounded rather thrilled to be there.

"Well, this was unexpected and delightful!" he exclaimed, his voice resonating through the room.

It wasn't as deep and booming as y/n had imagined it sounding like.

In fact, he sounded like an excited puppy who somehow knew how to talk.

Did she hit her head when she fell and was now dreaming, or perhaps even worse had she gone mad?

Unused to being summoned in the modern world, Anubis continues to look around with childlike wonder, his dark eyes sparkling.

Y/n was almost left with her mouth wide open when she finally got to see and admire the god before her.

His head wasn't actually the head of a jackal, but instead it was his headwear!

Underneath all that he was a handsome man, with dark tanned skin, sharp teeth and piercings on his chin, but also tongue.

Y/n had to gulp and blush slightly to herself, for some reason feeling embarrassed about this humanoid form of his.

Noticing y/n's bewilderment, Anubis approached her closer with a grin, offering his hand to help the woman up.

"Greetings, mortal! I am Anubis, the guardian of the afterlife. What brings you to summon me today?"

Stammering, y/n managed to grab a hold of the gods hand reluctantly while replying, she was scared his sharp nails or claws would touch her at first.

"I... I didn't really think this would work, please forgive me my lord!"

Anubis chuckled lightly, his soft laughter was admittedly very cute making y/n's heart skip a little beat.

"The whims of mortals! Fear not, if this wasn't a part of your plan I totally understand! But if you don't mind me asking, what assistance can I be to you then?"

With a nervous expression, y/n took a deep breath and the chance to think about it.

What could she possibly come up with to make Anubis, a literal god's time, be worth the while in the mortals realm?

"I suppose..somehow entertain me? If that isn't too much to ask for of course!! It's just that, these days are quite uneventful.."

Y/n to ease her nerves starts twirling some of her hair using her index finger.

A common habit she did whenever she needed a distraction.

Anubis, realising the woman was still tense, smirks to himself and thinks about a way to help her.

"Then I am here to make your mundane day more thrilling, my lady! I see your room is decorated with quite a few familiar things."

He happily pointed out, already seeing y/n's eyes light up at his comment and sharp eye.

"Oh really?! I'm so glad you find them familiar, I was afraid it would look weird to you somehow, considering I'm not from ancient Egypt!"

"Hey, don't worry about it, I love seeing people appreciate my culture."

"Phew, what a relief..!"

"But a particular reason why I am your favourite~?" Anubis without warning teased y/n, raising his eyebrow as his face leaned in close to hers.

It felt like her whole body was about to explode and her face turned red.

Damn it! She should have prepared herself for this question considering the jackal headed gods depiction was included almost everywhere!

"W-Well, you are my favourite..!"

Y/n responded in a panic, was he seriously playing with her right now?

Was this a way to catch her off guard or to test her in some way or another?

Before y/n could say anything any further, Anubis, ever the playful deity, leaped into the air out of pure happiness.

"Yippee~!!" The god exclaimed as he accidentally landed near her.

The sudden weight caused y/n to lose her balance, and she tumbled onto the bed alongside the ancient god.

"Oh uh..that was an accident, I didn't mean to scare or get that excited!"

Anubis pleaded, genuinely upset about his actions. He quickly got off y/n but all the woman could do was sigh as she had accepted her new fate.

"Honestly, this is already keeping me entertained enough."

CAUGHT IN 4K

word count: 3.3k

x: finals are coming up, so i'm gonna be very busy, but i'm still writing y'all (this is the most consistent i've been lol) (excuse any errors of course) Hope you guys enjoyyy! leave comments... please. I love your comments.

content: Imani has a crush on Roman. Their friend group goes on live and her secret comes to the light. She thought that she was going to be rejected and move on, but things never go the way people expect. Roman Reigns x Imani, 18+ MDNI, oral (m recieving), cowg!rl, creamp!e

Imani loved weekend kickbacks. Time to chillax with her favorite people, and get her mind off of things. It was moments like these she waited for. Drinks and joints in rotation, and endless fun for hours to come. Jimmy, Jey, Roman, Trinity Talia, and Imani. She wishes that she was only thinking about the good vibes that circulated in the atmosphere, but she was focused on something else. It wasn’t like she was necessarily trying to focus on Roman, but it was inevitable when she could see him so clearly from the kitchen. She knew that having a crush on him could possibly mess up the bond that the group has, but he was so gravitating, He was perfect in her eyes. She basically textbook described him when Trinity and Talia asked her to describe her dream man: Tall, muscular, sweet, absurdly attractive, charismatic, humorous, dedicated. God, she could go on to name every single one of his attributes that she loved. She tried to brush it off as a mistake at first, but there was no part about this that was a mistake. He had a tight grip on her, and he wasn't even aware. She wonders what would happen if he felt the same way. If those pretty brown eyes she daydreamed about would reciprocate the love she was anxiously waiting to give him. She could only imagine all of the things she could do for him, to him, and provide him. If she had him all to herself, how they would spend their nights alone. How it would feel to be wrapped in his embrace. How it would feel to get lost in him between the sheets for hours, and repeat it again the next day. If she had him all to herself.

“WE GETTIN TURNT!” Talia raised her glass in the air and yelled out to her viewers, watching her through the small rectangular frame. Jimmy came around the corner with uno cards in his hands as the six of us gathered around the table. Roman, Trinity, or Jey would pop into the frame to answer a couple of questions while Jimmy shuffles the cards and Imani gathers multiple bottles to bring to the table. “Mani! They have some questions for you!” Imani joins her party, sitting the bottles on the table and scanning through the comments.

‘Do you get to go backstage with the bloodline?’

“Yes! It's amazing, I'm not gonna lie.”

‘Please do a makeup tutorial!’

“Maybe, I don't have a youtube channel.”

‘Seen any guys that have caught your eye?’

“A couple, but they ain’t nothin’ important.”

“Oh word?” Talia and Trinity both look at her with curious faces, but Imani just giggles and goes back to answering questions. 

“Ooh this is a good one. Kiss, marry, fuck: Jason Momoa, Michael B. Jordan, and Roman Reigns,” Talia reads out loud. That question got everyone’s attention. Jimmy stopped fidgeting with the cards and Roman and Jey both put their phones down impatient for her answer. “Well?” Talia was definitely setting her up, and she could feel it. Thank god for her brown skin that covered her fastly spreading blush. “Do I have to answer this?” “Yes, you do. I'm intrigued now,” Trinity says, as Imani quickly takes a double take at the entire table to see them all staring at her. She sighs before surrendering and thinking hard about the question.

“I’ll… kiss… Michael B. Jordan, fuck Jason Momoa, and marry Roman Reigns.” She instantly regretted answering the question before Trinity pried at Imani to get out more information that everyone was itching to know. “Hmm, why marry Roman?” She quickly swiped her drink off of the table and took a long sip, hiding her face. In all honesty, she wanted to say that it was the easiest choice, but that would only make her sound suspicious. And that was not a conversation that she wanted to have in front of quite literally everyone. “I'm not interested in the other guys like that.” “So you’re interested in Roman?” ‘Wait- wait! Noo that's not what I meant!’

“No, I just wouldn't marry the other two men. It’s not that deep Trin,” Imani says, a failed attempt at dismissing the conversation. “You’ve never gotten this defensive before… don’t tell me that you in your feelings.” She could see Talia smirking at the corner of her eyes. She knew she had to stop this fast. “You’re reaching Talia,” Imani says, laughing to herself. “Oooooh Imani wants the Tribal Chief, huh?” Never in her life had she ever been more embarrassed. “Jimmy, for the love of god, please start dealing the cards,” Imani says, covering her face, her words muffled by her hands. Everyone laughs, finding amusement in her nervousness. She anxiously waited for Jimmy to start dealing the cards so this moment could pass.

11:27 pm

Several rounds of uno and spades passed, and the guests were slowly starting to make their way out. She noticed Talia, Trinity, Jey, and Jimmy momentarily texting throughout the night, which would probably explain why the four of them were explaining the consequence of Imani losing a couple of rounds. “Sooooo we thought of something. Don’t be mad! It’s just a punishment for losing so much,” Talia says, sticking out her tongue. “Your punishment is that you have to ask Roman to fuck you.” ‘ASK ROMAN TO WHATT!?!?’

Her surprised face told them everything they needed to know. “You'll be fine. Uce will probably be down to fuck either way,” Jey says. Imani gave Talia a death glare, making Talia laugh. “You’re trippin’ girl. Just approach him with the right energy and make him want to stay with you. I guess this answers the question of if you have a crush on him or not.” Before she could defend herself, Roman walks in from the restroom and the four of them are gone in the blink of an eye. ‘These trifling’ heifers’

“Guess they all left. I should be on my way out then. Thank you for the food and dr-” She steps in front of him, stopping him from exiting out the front door. He looks at her with confusion. “You okay?” Her heart was beating fast. She didn't fully think out what she was going to do after she stepped in front of him, but it was now or never. 

“Fuck me.”

“...what?”

“F-fuck me.” She couldn't look him in the eye the second time. The pressure weighing on her shoulders was too much. But the thing that was racking her brain the most was how close they were. She felt like this was a disaster taking place in real time. She hears a soft chuckle, looking up to see him lightly smiling at her. “Was this your punishment for losing?” She nods, and his smile stays fixed on his face. “Do you want me to?” 

‘...did he say what I think he just said?’

Her mind is searching for an answer, a reason to say no. But she can't find any. As embarrassing and confusing this was, she had daydreamed about this moment. Maybe he was just being nice and would give her a quick fuck to fulfill the punishment. That idea became her leading thought. “You don’t have to if you’re uncomf-” “Do you want me to fuck you Imani?”

‘Shit he’s not joking.’

She slowly nods, which prompts him to lock the front door behind you. Her head was spinning, trying her hardest to maintain her composure. “Ask me again.”

“Fuck me, please,” She says nervously, eyes returning her shiny tile floors. “I don’t believe you sweetheart. Ask me again.” His hand gently grabs at her chin, making Imani look at him. Once they made eye contact, she knew that she was done for. She was already feeling weak from just looking at him. She took a deep breath before finally saying, “Please fuck me Roman.”

He wasted no time pulling her into a heated kiss. Not that she minded. This felt like a wonderful dream that she didn't want to wake up from. Only this wasn't a dream, it was real life. She finally got to feel the body that she had been drooling over. Right now, he was hers, and she was going to make the most of it. 

Her curious hands creeped along his captivating body while they explored each other’s mouths, dragging her hands up his torso from underneath his shirt. He pulled away from her soft lips to trail wet kisses from her cheek to her neck. “Not shy anymore huh?” She couldn't be shy. Her desire for him had completely taken over. “I really need you right now Roman,” She pants out. 

“Bedroom?” She nods and takes his hand in hers, leading the way to her bedroom. The sway of her hips only made Roman more aroused, as he silently admired her body from behind.

They enter her bedroom and she doesn't get a chance to close the door before being pulled into his arms again, temporarily hoisting her in the air to lay her on the spacious bed. He pulls her into another messy kiss, setting his focus on getting rid of their bothersome clothes. He quickly tore his shirt from his body and she did the same with hers. Their lips connected again, moving in harmony. He started to make his way down her body, but she squeezed his shoulders, signaling him to stop. “I wanna make you feel good first.” Roman was surprised to say the least. He kissed her tummy and replied, “Are you sure?” She gives him a confident nod, with those big doe eyes and her beautiful smile. “Alright, what do you want me to do?” “Let’s switch places.”

She scooted to the side, giving him room to lay down on the bed. She crawled down to his waist, tugging both his sweatpants and boxers down. His dick springs out of his pants, finally free from cloth restraints. Her eyes locked with his before lowering down to lick the underside of him; from his balls to his mushroom tip. A wad of spit drips from her mouth and lands on his length, using her hand to lather him up. His soft hums let her know that he was feeling good, and she was determined to make him feel a whole lot better. 

Her juicy lips start at his tip, giving small kitten licks before taking the tip in her mouth. Her warm mouth felt so good on his dick. He didn't know that Imani was this nasty. She gives him kisses up and down his shaft before taking him in her mouth again. 

She didn’t waste any time trying to tease him. He was big, and filled mer mouth well, but it’s nothing she's never handled before. Before she continued, the warmth of her mouth left him once again. “Can you record this?” Just when he thought she couldn't get more nasty. 

“Record?” She nodded her head. “Only if you’re comfortable.” “I’m more than comfortable,” Roman says, while reaching into his sweatpants pocket. He grabs his phone and opens the camera app, pressing record. “It’s recording, baby.” 

She smiles at the camera, curling her fingers around the base of his dick and tapping him against her tongue. She takes him in her mouth again for the final time, keeping her hand put at the base. She bobs her head slowly, swiveling her head from left to right. 

She keeps moving slowly, making sure to fit all she can in her mouth. Her hand that stayed curled around his base, moved in juxtaposition, stroking the rest of him that her mouth couldn't get to. “Goddamn baby, that mouth feels so good. I need that mouth around my dick all the time.” She moans in response, giving him vibrations that made him feel oh so good. She had him moaning and groaning. She didn't mind that at all. She got a big ego boost that he was so vocal from her mouth working its magic. She took note of every moan, every twitch, and any reaction he made. Right now, she was focused on his pleasure. 

His grip on his phone tightened, trying his best to keep his composure. She moved her head faster, still bobbing up and down, and using her hand to stroke his remaining inches. “Ahh s-shit mama, you keep sucking my dick like that and imma cum in your mouth.” She looks at him, already staring at her every move while she’s giving him euphoria like pleasure. She moans around his dick again, feeling her panties dampen. Her other hand massaged his balls lightly. Her slurping sounds made him close to coming. 

He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Those innocent eyes staring into him as he recorded her doing such lewd things. He tried his best not to tangle his hands in her hair and fuck her mouth full of him. But her mouth felt so good, and he wanted nothing more than to cum in her mouth. He couldn’t help himself when his hands disappeared into her hair, planting his feet on the bed and fucking up into her mouth. She put her hands behind her back, letting him use her as he pleased. His thrusts were quick, but soft, his balls slapping against her chin. “Oh fuck! I’m coming mama, ooh I'm comin’.” He kept her head steady while coming deep in her throat, and she accepted with jubilation. 

She bobbed her head a few more times, trying her best to overstimulate him the most she can, until his hand grabs her chin, lifting her up. “Slow down princess,” He says, ending the recording. She crawls up to meet him, giving him a quick passionate kiss. “See how good you taste?” Roman chuckles at her boldness. “Your turn. Lie down,” He says, trying to sit up, but fails due to her pushing him back down on the bed. “I need that dick right now daddy.”

“You don’t want me to eat that pussy?” She runs her hand through her messy hair. “God yes I do, but I need you to fuck me right now.” Her eyes did more pleading than her words. 

“I wanna record this too,” she says, looking down at his chest, tracing the intricate tattoo. He feels around the bed, finally grabbing the phone and reopening the camera app. “Can you prop it up somewhere? I want you to be able to touch me.” “Already on it baby.” He climbed back further on your bed, propping the phone up against the lamp on the nightstand. While he did that, she slid off her shorts and panties, throwing them behind her. He pressed record again, and instructed her to adjust herself so the camera could capture everything. 

His hands landed on her ass as they both observed themself. His hands felt so good kneading her ass, and she saw his eyes drinking in every part of her body. He couldn't keep his hands off of her curvaceous body, and he didn't want to. “You like it?” Her soft hands massaged his shoulders, making him groan softly. “I love it baby, love this ass.” An unexpected slap to her ass made her jump. “You sound so good, daddy.” His hands move her hips along his dick, grinding her body against his. 

“How long have you been thinking about this?” She shies away from his gaze, a sudden flash of embarrassment runs through her body. She had forgotten about all of her feelings of distress and nervousness and realized that she was running on arousal and adrenaline. “A-a couple of months.” He lifts her hips and grabs his length, rubbing the tip along her slit. A few rubs up and down her slickness before impaling her on his dick. They moan simultaneously, relishing in the mind numbing pleasure. “You been thinking about taking this dick baby?” She gives him small head nods, still captured by the feeling of him inside of her. His hands cupped her chin, turning her head to the direction of the phone, steadily recording them. His hands were full of her ass, moving her up and down his shaft slowly. His unsteady breaths and her elongated moans were harmonious. “Go ‘head then. Bounce that ass on my dick.”

Her eyes focused on him as she steadied herself, her hands placed on either side of his head. She throws her ass back, his thighs catching it every time. His eyes were still glued to the phone, watching her beautiful body on top of him. But it wouldn’t be long until he faced her again, her soft titties hanging in front of his face. She had daydreamed about fucking Roman, and she was finally doing it. It gave her confidence knowing that he couldn't keep his hands off of her body. Her facial expression told her exactly how she was feeling. It was almost overwhelming how sexy she was. Beautiful smile, sexy body, paired with addicting moans that made him want to fuck her all night long. 

“Mmm~ look at you taking daddy’s dick. You’re doing so good,” Roman pants, grabbing at her breasts. His gentle praises and gruff voice was enough to make her cum. His dominating presence, his words, his touch. This man had her mind running laps. Even though he wasn’t putting in any effort, he was hitting all the right spots.

Her words were slurred, eyes rolled back, mouth wide open spewing salacious moans. Her hips slowed down, the constant rhythm created by her ass and his thighs meeting no longer lasted while she hid in the crook of his neck. Her body was decorated with a sheet of sweat that didn’t take away from her golden hue. “Look at me.” She rested on her elbows, locking her eyes onto his. Their faces were laced with lust, an unsatisfied want for each other. 

His strong arms caged her in, preventing her from squirming or escaping. She was still catching her breath while Roman planted his feet on the bed again. He places a tender kiss on her cheek before fucking up into her. She grabbed on to any part of his body that could, her eyes fluttering shut. A harsh slap to her ass makes her scream in pleasure. “I said look at me,” Roman says, demanding her full attention.

“Ohhh- my god! You feel so fucking g-good!” Roman loved watching her unravel. How she screamed for glory while he fucked her. God, he could make this his favorite hobby. Making her cum over and over again. “Mhm- fuckk- keep talking to me baby.” Her mind was foggy. She could only focus on one thing right now, how good he was dicking her down. Roman was making her feel so good. She looked at his phone propped up on the nightstand again to see their reflection. Her ass rippled from his hard strokes. That sight alone had her ready to cum. “Shhit! I’m finna cum on that big ass dick!” “Yeah? You finna cum?”

Her nails dug into his broad shoulders, feeling a knot build up in her stomach. “Cum with me Imani, let me feel you cum around my dick.”

Her eyes shut as she came, her orgasm hitting like a dam breaking, sending waves of pleasure throughout her body. His hips slowed down, but still gave her deep strokes, coming deep inside her. High pitched moans and deep grunts filled the room. His hands lazily grab her hips, allowing her to move again. She reached to grab the phone and ended the video, dropping the phone somewhere as she laid limp against his chest. His thumbs worked small circles as they both caught their breath. “I’m gonna take a shower when I get up, wanna join me?” Imani hears him chuckle, still working small circles into her hips. “Nah, we’re not done. I gotta eat that pussy, Imani.”

If these were the punishments she got for losing in spades, maybe losing wasn't so bad after all.

[marabarl-and-marlbara]

i think i saw you talk about picayune a bit on your twitter! i was wondering about it if you’re willing to give your thoughts. i heard it was similar to that one game that’s called the void rains upon her heart, at least from a friend of mine.

hi anonymous; although i say i could gush about it: i mostly said everything i:d want to on the twitter already, but yeah: i love it, it:s a sneaky "top game of the year" for me, i think, and is one of those passion-projects (?) that just feels as though it carries with it a-lot of love for game design and just the act of creating games; i:d put it like this: i really enjoy survivors-type games because they:re dopamine-traps that just give me skinners-box gratification when i:m struggling to get through a day, but as a genre the games are very formulaic and usually seem like they:re 1) cynically made because the formula is hot + can make some easy cash for little effort since the game-design aspect is just laid out like clean providence 2) made a little more earnestly but usually for a developer as an exercise which happens to also be probably decently lucrative -- and both of these prior points lead to pretty stale experiences, but dopamine-trap experiences that i like all-the-same, as-well: due to me just not having a lot of money outside of my weekly grocery budget, i don:t really let myself spend money on non-grocery things, so: looking @ picayune dreams i was hit with this mix of "this looks awesome" and "i know this formula and the gloss is just going to be another stale 100% achievement grind that:ll eat up my time but leave me mad at myself for wasting $5 when i need groceries" -- but it had a demo, and (happily) the demo betrayed my cynicism and just oozed with sincerity on behalf of the developers, so: i bought it.

it:s a very good blend of shmup/bullet-hell type gameplay and the standard survivors-genre, and although i don:t think it:s the best gameplay in either genre, the experience as one whole is executed perfectly for what it is: it unfolds and never seems lazy in its effort or gameplay; the obtuse mechanics are fun to figure out; the story segments (while super iterative of yume nikki type rpgmaker stuff) have this razor-sharp conciseness for the vibe it wants you to feel that i really enjoy (it reminds me of scientology, archangel:nemesis in a weird way: because the breadth of the plot centers around being selected to save a humanity that is trapped down here on earth, sort-of indifferent to your mission -- and i think it creates this plot really beautifully despite using very little words or demanding a lot of your time (<- this point here is key for me, cause i have northernlion syndrome of nearly no-longer having patience for games that want me to stare at some story for a long time, or hit you with tutorials before gameplay, or whatever: picayune dreams just goes and trusts you to figure it out)).

i haven:t played it much lately, cause (if it had one fault, which is more just my user-experience than the devs) the runs can get to be longer than i have patience for (you can loop and at this point you:re getting close to an hour run), so i end up self-destructing when i get bored;

i:d encourage anyone to give the demo a try, or just look at the steam-page and take in the art direction -- it:s a game that probably won:t let you down if it even /slightly/ looks interesting to you, & i still feel a rush of goosebumps when the final song comes in during the last boss; it:s just solid (void rains upon her heart is another one of these great games for me but i 100%'d it earlier in the year and have just been waiting for the dev to add more content; that:s another game that i think more people should give love to because it blends shmup+roguelite formula better than any other attempt i:ve played and also never really let my expectations as a player down as i trusted it to unfold with content and excitement -- because that:s what i like about this trend of roguelite/meta-progression in games: games that use these are like constantly wanting to award you with more because it:s like they are just so eager to spend time with you and don:t want to let you down (at the least cynical)).

at the moment though i:m just playing DCSS cause i:m back in a "everything feels pretty dull and colorless at the moment" spell -- but again: that:s why i love stuff like picayune dreams and sci-fi harry; occasionally stuff surprises you with its love, its passion, and you can:t help but let yourself be affected, and i like being affected.

take care.

General 1, 9

Story 6, 8

Romance 7, 9

Companion!Tav asks

General

Where can your Tav be recruited?  Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region?�� Or are they not recruitable until a later act?

Xa'rok could first be encountered on the Nautiloid moving around between the room with those hivemind chairs and the tutorial chest and the room where you first encounter Us. In the case of the first they would have a reaction dialogue to the player character when the player sits in the chair and expresses hearing voices.

"Yes! It's connecting us, all of us, to the ship itself. Remarkable, isn't it? It really is alive."

They would be sitting somewhere across the room from the player in another chair but within eyesight and you could either try speaking to them through the tadpole link (heightened by the hivemind) or walk up and initiate conversation.

In the case of the latter they would be found tucked in the corner with the qualith slates and move around the room, inspecting everything. spouting idle dialogue relevant to the slates' contents along with wonder at being able to comprehend them. If interrupted they would brush the player off with "Not now, I'm busy." "Come back later." "Less talking, can't you see I'm reading? Well, not exactly reading..."

In either case they wouldn't actually be recruitable until you find them again on the beach among the wreckage. They could be found wandering the whole of the crash site, observing and lamenting the loss of what they hadn't had a chance to study. If you don't interact with/recruit them then, they would appear later at the creche down on the cliffside back entrance. You would run into them picking the lock on the door and could initiate conversation there. If the player is not a gith and there are no gith in the party, they would offer to be the party's ambassador and lead them through the creche safely. If the player character is a gith or you have Lae'zel in your party, they would defer to the player's judgement/let the player lead, but act a little cagey (haven't been to a creche since their exile and they are unsure what to expect, fighting both a weird sense of sonder and an instinctive recoil, but the player would not get any of this information until approval develops, which could happen easily as they explore the creche provided you do so without inciting violence as an opening salvo).

9. Does your Tav have any escalating conflicts with one of the other companions, like Lae’zel and Shadowheart’s knife-fight?

Xa'rok and Lae'zel would likely start out fine until Lae'zel spent enough time with them to realize how 'sympathetic' they are to the ghaik and how unresistant they are to both the tadpoles, and the concept of their infection. It wouldn't turn into an actual fight (at least not in the first act), but depending on the player choices (desire to engage with tadpoles etc), there may be a cutscene where Lae'zel and Xa'rok exchange tense words and Lae'zel threatens Xa'rok similarly to how she threatens the player just before the first Guardian dream: that whatever their sympathies and preferences, should Xa'rok complete ceremorphosis within earshot/eyesight of Lae'zel, she wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

This tension balloons up and down as the story progresses, especially if you keep both Xa'rok and Lae'zel in your party at the same time during specific points (namely, the creche and resulting fallout, and meeting the Emperor/the honor guard fight at the top of act 3)

Xa'rok implicitly trusts the Guardian and later champions the Emperor, which obviously leads to tension with Lae'zel over Orpheus. (They are, however, all for infiltrating the House of Hope and should both Lae'zel and Xa'rok be together in the party when the player makes the decision to open the portal, there would be idle banter about their goals in going. Xa'rok would make it clear they have no intention of taking the Hammer and only intend to put Raphael in his place, but they would approve of freeing Hope)

I suppose it depends on player choices as to whether Lae'zel and Xa'rok ever come to blows over their divisive goals, actually. I hate to step in on Shadowheart's feud but given how in opposition their allegiances seem, it would maybe come down to dialogue choices and/or persuasion/deception rolls to avoid an actual fight later in the game. To add salt to the wounds, Xa'rok would actually get along well with Shadowheart.

Story

6. Will they stay with the Player Character regardless of siding with the goblins or the tieflings, or is it possible for them to leave the party permanently?

They would approve of any diplomatic/persuasive/deceptive/non-combative means of resolving conflict, but ultimately the tiefling/goblin feud is not personal and the outcome has little bearing on their relation to the player. They would disapprove of massacring the Grove on principle (choice words about alternative solutions spoken) but doing so wouldn't result in them leaving.

Part of me wants to say they would treat the conflict as a trial run for their own diplomatic powers of persuasion/future plans, but there's no real way to navigate that situation without killing one side, so it'd be an ultimate lose/lose. I think as a response, though, this would leave them very introspective and maybe a little maudlin at the party.

8. Do they have comments on who the Player Character chooses to spend the night with? 

They are a bard and like to gossip, but it would depend on their relation/approval with the player character and their relationship to the character the player slept with.

Low approval/Low Relation: "Hmm. Not who I would have gone with."

Medium approval/Medium Relation: "Interesting choice. Not sure who it says more about, you or (him/her)."

High approval/High relation: "You and (companion) disappeared awful quickly. Anything interesting to tell?"

Romance

7. What questions can Zethino ask the PC about Tav in the Love Test? 

"What, to them, is Xa'rok's life's purpose?" (Answer: To be an instrument for unity, cooperation, and change in shedding the shackles of the past for a new future.)

"The gith speaks often, and well, but how much of what they say is true?" (Answer: As much as needs to be. They are not above using their natural charm for their own ends.)

"Xa'rok - What calls to them the loudest?" (Answer: the unending song of the Astral sea.)

9. How do they react if the PC has sex with Mizora? The Emperor?  Haarlep?

Mizora: Wary confusion. A little disgusted. (After Raphael, they can't stand fiends) "Really? Her? Lured in by a false tongue. Feeling any different this morning? Less...intact? Soul-wise, I mean."

The Emperor: They would be one of the ones to stumble in on you but they wouldn't react with disgust. They would stare. Hungrily. Curious. If the Emperor didn't wipe everyone's minds of the encounter, or the player mentioned it in passing, they would have soooo many questions you very quickly get the sense that they're jealous (of the encounter, not personally) and also really interested. Similar sort of dialogue tree to asking Karlach about fighting in the Hells, but they will scientifically interrogate you about your sexual encounter.

Haarlep: Polite disinterest. No particular commentary. Except perhaps to disparage Raphael. They would disapprove though once Haarlep's game manifested in the real world as a consequence. Gross.

Watched the tenth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVED IT!

So I actually watched this episode a whole while ago but forgot to post this... BUT NOW THE SECOND PART OF SEASON 1 IS ALL OUT SO I NEED TO PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN 😍😍

Also the LEGO Youtube channel continues to bless me with shorts of the series, I'm already a huge fan of Draw with Mateo, and now we got Logan's Training Tutorials (he got such a massive ego istg 😂) AND EVEN AN ANIMATED SHORT CALLED "DREAMOLITION DUO VS THE MUTATED MATH MONSTERS" 🤩🤩🤩 (that one was EXCELLENT, I really hope we get more of those with that style)

Since all the new episodes dropped at the same time I might just make a single or two posts about all of them, we'll see! It's literally just for me to scream about how I love this show 🥰

Anyway, without further ado, let's get into this!

THE GRIM ESCAPE

This coach is pretty narrow minded, but I never had a PE teacher that wasn't 100% convinced gym was everything, so 😂

Dreamcrafting as a concept feels like elemental powers from Ninjago: it's likely the most powerful thing there is, but in most situations it gets nullified or nerfed so it's hard to use it all the time with no limits 😅😅 It does make sense for this place to be no imagination zone, though

I'm sure Logan feels very guilty for the mess he got into, but I do hope he doesn't get forgiven immediately, so I'm glad Mateo is genuinely upset at him

COOP NO 😱

Okay thank goodness 😂

Glad Logan isn't here to hear these orders and not follow them (sorry Logan 😅)

Edison bomb, we had the Edison ray before, I find it funny that the focus is on the guy that dreamed about his inventions

Mmmmm, I'm interested in the Night Hunter, I think there's more to him

LOGAN YOU GOT AMAZING FRIENDS YOU JUST GOTTA LEARN TO TREAT THEM BETTER I SWEAR THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY SWEETIE 😭😭

To be fair, he's doing pretty good on his own for not being able to dreamcraft

LIL BUDDY ACQUIRED 💙

Wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf- also interesting that this are the most normal creatures we saw so far, and it is in the place where the imagination is robbed and taken. Like here they don't waste time with creative creations like in the rest of the world

YES LOGAN TAKE THE HOURGLASS!!!

Yes Logan take your time 😅

Feels like karma Logan getting Stinkbrain as a nick he doesn't like, after mocking Mateo about Mattie this whole time

Z BLOG FIGHT Z BLOB FIGHT I ALWAYS LOVE WHEN THE LIL GUY APPEARS 💚

This show really says "best plan is run" 😂

I love Sneaky, someone needs to humble Logan a little bit... okay A LOT

Everyone loves and cares for Teo so much! LOVE ME A GOOD SUPPORTIVE TEAM 🩷

I still wonder where Zoe found her bow, and if there is a connection over the fact that she got a bow and the Night Hunter got a crossbow, they are the only ones with actual weapons and they are both long range kind of weapons

NUUUUU GOT CAPTURED

No worries mah boy Teo is out there with Z Blob I'm sure he'll think of something!!... oh yeah there's Logan too 😅

Z BINOCULAR WTF

AWWWWWWWWWW MATEO HUGGING LOGAN THAT WAS SO CUTE!!! 💚💙💚💙 Despite being mad at him and with reason too, he was still worried about him! That's why I love him 🥰🥰

Oh, this is nice, Mateo didn't forgive him but he sees that Logan cares. And Logan for once asked him what's the plan, instead of going on a limb as usual! GROWTH!!! 💙

"Everytime I dreamcraft, bad things happen! And then we do a lot of running!"

"Welcome to my world!"

LOL loved that

AWWWWWW!! This is what I was talking about when I said Teo is a great leader, and knows that now Logan can give a great input since he can't dreamcraft like the others! I know I'm focusing on Teo so much but he is my favourite, so 😅💚💚💚

TEO GOT AN IDEAAAAAAAA

Coop getting PTSD from that cage, the poor thing! Do not bring him back in! 😱

Even the Night Hunter is afraid of the Grimwolf! Just what kind of things are living in this place??

OMG TEO ALMOST GOT STABBED BY ZOE'S ARROW TO SAVE LOGAN MY GOSH 😱😱😱 ... I wonder if I can make a fanfiction out of this one 😂

Aww Logan was apologizing for once in his life! Lol Mr. Oz is so confused

"Drive it like you stole it!" Logan, 2023

DREAMBASH!! Okay I saw the LEGO sets for this one, but this is such a cool thing for Cooper and Logan to share! ❤️💙

LOGAN YOU DID NOT CALL A MONKEY SUS WHAT IS THIS SHOW 😂

Okay but Logan jumping off the ship to get back the hourglass? Teo and Sneaky following suit? Mr. Oz being absolutely done with these kids' recklessness? I loved that sequence so much 😂

EDISON BOMB!!!!

Wait Sneak didn't die, he ran away? To avoid the ray? So he's alive? I hope so!!

Poor Logan, he met a good friend...

WAIT WHAT'S THAT HAT?

WAIT THE NIGHT HUNTER FREED THE NIGHTMARE KING??

WAIT SNEAK IS ACTUALLY BAD??? WHAT NO COME ON THE ONE PERSON THAT LOGAN BEFRIENDED RIGHT AWAY!!!

Pff, does the Night Hunter not know Mateo's name? Little artiste?

WAIT WHAT NO NO NO DO NOT EVEN THINK OF DOING ANYTHING TO Z BLOB OR I WILL KILL EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND THEN MYSELF 😡😡😡

So now the Nightmare King is after the Waking World... GREAT 😅

I NEED MORE EPISODEEEEESSS 😍😍

[quil12]

souyo + manic pixie dream girl yosuke but just like as the stereotype

This one was actually more fun to write than I thought it would be lmao. I wasn't entirely sure at first, but I like the direction I went with it

Yosuke stared into the mirror, sighing as he adjusted the wig on his head. It was a pale pink bob with light blue ribbons attached to the side. 

How had he let this happen?

He made videos sometimes. It was always of him playing the guitar, mostly doing tutorials of songs. After college, he had gotten hired on at Rise’s production studio as someone to help write songs for the idols - he mainly did stuff for Rise since she was the reason he had gotten hired, but he still did stuff for the other idols there as well. A lot of people liked having him - someone who had actually worked on writing the songs - teach them how to play it. The production studio was even for it, enjoying the good will from their fans. 

About a month ago, he had been asked by the production company to take part in a charity live stream. He had managed to gain a small following of his own, so they wanted people who were more interested in him to come as well. He had agreed, and that was where his problem had started.

One thing had led to another, and, by the end of it, he had promised to dress up and shoot a video playing a character if they managed to raise a certain amount of money. Needless to say, they had reached that goal, so now, in order to keep that promise, he was about to shoot a video - a video in drag - a video in a type of drag far more embarrassing than what he had been forced to wear at the crossdressing pageant in high school. 

The one silver lining of all of this was that he had only agreed to a pre-recorded video. That meant that he could edit out any parts that were too embarrassing for him to handle. He also didn’t have to deal with anyone else being there to laugh at him.

Yu was even out of the house for the afternoon spending time with some work friends. He had actually waited specifically until he had a day like that to do this. The idea of Yu seeing him like this was so unbearably embarrassing.

He had struggled a little bit getting ready, having to watch tutorials to do even the most basic of makeup. It had taken him about two hours to get himself to look presentable on that front. After that, he had to put on the outfit - he wasn’t about to wear a dress again, so he had settled for a pair of jeans and a lacy blouse - no one was gonna see his legs anyway. After that, he had once again struggled for a long while to get the wig on. 

Now though, there was nothing else to do but record this video.

He hesitated as much as he could before exiting the bedroom, walking down the hall to the room where he had his instruments. He had quite a few - a couple different types of guitar, a keyboard, even a box of miscellaneous percussion instruments. 

This was also where he had his setup to do videos. 

He took a deep breath before grabbing an acoustic guitar off of its stand, walking over to the desk on the other side of the room. He had already set everything up, so now it was just time to record. 

He sat down on the chair in front of the desk, staring at the camera in front of him. He could do this. He wouldn't die of embarrassment. He would be all right. He just had to record a super quick video and hopefully no one he actually knew would ever bring it up to him. 

He took one last steadying breath before reaching over and hitting the record button. 

He readjusted the guitar in his lap before looking up toward the camera, smiling widely. 

He raised the pitch of his voice as he spoke, keeping it as energetic as possible. "Hey everyone! I just wanted to record another wonderful video for you today. Now, I've already made a tutorial for this one, but it didn't have quite as much flair as I wanted it to have. So, we're gonna try making it a little bit different and fun this time. I-"

He was cut off by the sound of the door to the room creaking open. 

He immediately moved the guitar, holding it up in between him and the door, hiding behind it. He looked to see Yu standing there, staring at him, his eyebrows knit together. 

His heart was pounding. He didn't want him to see him dressed up like this. This was so embarrassing. 

Yu hesitated. "Uh, is this a video or a live stream?"

He looked away, reaching over, and pausing the recording. "Video."

"I was just coming to tell you that I was home, but I guess it's not the best time."

Yosuke didn't say anything. He just wanted to curl in on himself and stop existing. He really hated that he had come home now. Why couldn't it have been in like an hour? When he had finished shooting the video and had had time to take everything off. 

Yosuke wasn't looking toward Yu, but he looked up as he heard footsteps coming toward him. 

He stopped in front of him, laying his palm on his cheek, humming. 

He leaned forward, pressing a soft and chaste kiss to his lips. It was so tender that he almost forgot what he was wearing. Almost.

He pulled away, looking at his face almost consideringly. 

"I'll start on dinner in just a few minutes."

Yosuke nodded, watching as he headed toward the door. 

Just before he left the room, he turned to face him. "Oh, and Yosuke?"

"Yeah?"

"Your eyeliner is smeared."

He let out an involuntary noise of embarrassment.

Yu laughed, leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

Yosuke groaned, holding his head in his hand. Why did he have to say things like that? 

After a few seconds, he straightened, looking at himself in the camera.

His eyeliner really was smeared.

beans exchange letter 2023

hi its us thebeans you have been selected to secret us a santa !! this is going to be a bit of a tutorial letter so everyone else knows what exchange letters are like, so rest assured it will be as comprehensive as i can manage. remember that you do not need to fulfill All of the conditions the recipient lists, just at least one of them to the best of your ability. woo

want:

1. hermits

big fan of grian, scar, mumbo, ren, doc, bdubs, zed, joe hills, things of this nature. i think the slapfight goes here if it goes anywhere. we have seen seasons 6/7/8/9 and a little of season 5 so if you go before that we will probably be Confused but Willing To Roll With It. idk theres the wonderful world of hermits and crafting

2. lifes

you are probably well aware the extent to which we like the life series. things you could cover include property police kiss on the mouth secret life (or property police cold patrol new life which isn't getting its own entire bullet but it's a thing), treebark slash fairydog slash renb, toxic yaoi majorwood, the bad boys, last life grumbo, idk get silly with it !! slash p or slash r it is all good <- applies to all listed items in this letter not just here

3. empires

empires:). for season 1 there's flower husbands; you could do kathgempearl or some duo permutation; arenaduo; the whole wra tbh; smallidarizzie trio; scott and xornoth content (you could write the one billionth postcanon xornoth finds out what happened fic if you wanted). for season 2 HEAVENTRIO OBVIOUSLY; or arenaduo again or hallelujahduo or roundhousekickduo which i still need to come up with a better name for; best buds jim and joel; kathgem; pixlriffs; the crossover; fairytale trio i also like; maybe some olieddie as a treat if you're so inclined

4. eswap

free space basically. scottpearl !!!!!!! or arenaduo or kathgempearl again (or duo permutation) or pearl and pix bonding maybe idk what the state of eswap is gonna be pixwise by the end of november. or if some other part of eswap compels you then go for it. you might wanna write the watcher grian crossover idea that jay2 had that one time. up to u :D

5. pirates/rats

yeah babyyyyyy this is the writing to pander to littlesound zone. i love datastream martyn interacting with this-is-just-their-world other characters such as oli or sausage or olive or shelby or owen or scar or other people that don't start with the letters o and s. kisstrels obviously (including shep and shub); you could do property police with martyn and safety rat; farmer rat scott, baker rat lizzie, he had a pretty sweet bond with will. maybe mratyn watching as oli tries and fails to seduce the butler with cringefail affection in his eyes. maybe mratyn trying and failing to seduce one of the brown wild dogs at the edge of the grounds while scott looks on in disappointment. p!bek is canonically aroace so if you write pirate bekel you'd probably get Comments about it but like if you don't fear the fandom then fuck it. SPEAKING OF:

6. witchcraft

YURI OPPORTUNITY AGAIN BUT FOR BEK INSTEAD! beky's finally figured out her witchcraft bek au which is that el is a not-so-famous witchtuber and bek is one of her few very dedicated commenters so when el randomly stumbles across the supreme witch crown where scott dropped it then she ends up asking bek what to do and they bond from there, so you may wanna do something with that.

7. dsmp

if you are dsmp inclined and you want to go classic style then you cannot go wrong with a little bit of crimboy/clingy. bee/bench and michael could also be fun; i like niki, big q, JACK MANIFOLD, fundy, eret, hbomb, foolish, and i miss honq every day babyyyy <- not every day but often. if you'd like to add to the hit canon ao3 tag tommyinnit crashes own funeral (dream smp) then that would be very welcomed too, i canonised that shit with my bare hands

8. au ideas

well i said all of that for canon concepts but what if you want to write/draw an alternate universe? goooo fuckin crazy with it my friend. some concepts i enjoy reading are: royalty; urban/low fantasy; newly discovered/obtained superpowers; domestic roommates setting; famous & doesnt give a shit about that fame; creative type & muse; guardian angel & human. idk have fun!

9. not mcyt

i'm adding this section because i know some people will want to do this but mine will be quite short because i . do not watch anything else. uhhhh the magnus archives. moon knight 2022. i like quite a lot of musical theatre but mostly the modern post hamilton shit and i have not seen hadestown. thubs up

do not want

don't do scottpearl if it isn't eswap please! or any hermit pearl actually! uhhh nothing particularly viscerally gorey but it's ok if people die or get injured. this isn't a dnw but it is a specification, if you would like to trans some genders and neo some pronouns then you should feel absolutely free to go ahead love is love. i think i'm gonna make no nsfw a rule for the entire exchange so i don't need to clarify that. probably best to have minimal cleo inclusion if any. any fics which are specifically about the moment after a life series game where characters see each other and talk about what happened because those are weirdly common and we don't like it and it feels weird. no blinding, no throats slit, no being suffocated/choked. ummm ya if you arent sure whether something would be ok then go ahead and ask!

will write

this one is gonna be much shorter

hermits: bdubs cub doc gem scar grian joe pearl ren tango xb zed cleo

life series: scott ren martyn pearl joel grian scar bdubs lizzie skizz mumbo jimmy gem

empires 1: scott gem joey kath lizzie sausage pearl joel jimmy

empires 2: scott gem joey kath lizzie sausage pearl pix shelby joel jimmy oli

pirates: acho aimsey bek puffy eret scar guqqie martyn kyle sausage olive oli owen ros shelby scott el tubbo

rats: bek el jimmy lizzie martyn oli olive owen scott shelby tubbo

witchcraft: scott joey pris shelby el cleo

dsmp: eret callahan eryn bbh puffy phil niki karl sapnap george quackity foolish jack manifold hbomb fundy aimsey slime wilbur sam ranboo schlatt dream punz tommy tubbo techno dxd

misc: honestly i think if you asked me to write qsmp phil tubbo fit cellbit bagi bad foolish wilbur tallulah chayanne then i probably could at this point. but don't ask me to. also the afterlife/new life smp i will write for also

won't write

i'm sorry i can't write the copper people on empires i just have not seen them enough to. highly doubt my ability to write crastle/best/ties/similar groupings well. dear god please don't make me write the syndicate it won't be good for either of us. i will not write nature wives i can't do it to my girlo. pirates!scott ships also. if it's gonna get me cancelled then i may still be willing to write it but i will not post it on ao3, it's going straight into fools writing discussion channel when it goes live. i won't write . idk pregnancy? you probably weren't gonna ask for pregnancy. again feel free to ask :thumbsup:

A Recipe Written in Mama's Ragu

I got to feeling restless, so I started a re-watch of the Game Grumps playing Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. I guess I'll run through my thoughts on Chapter 1 (episodes 1-15).

[Above: She's only happy when she's helping a complete idiot, and he's...well...]

It's remarkable how much smoother the story begins when you already know everything. In my first go-around two years ago, nothing made sense and by the time Monokuma showed up, it felt like a fever dream. Like Arin and Dan, I was interrogating the dialogue for clues about how everything got this way, which was frustrating when the kids mostly focus on understanding (and re-stating) Monokuma's rules.

It's also clear that the game loses Arin very quickly. Arin's whole mindset about playing games is to skip the tutorial, let the environment show him what he needs to do, and then figure it out because he's The Video Game Boy. So once the Grumps find Sayaka's dying message, Arin wanders off to look for how he can present his evidence and start the trial. But in Danganronpa the trial can't begin until you click on a predefined set of hotspots to get all the evidence items, whether you understand their significance or not. Whether the player can solve the murder has very little to do with how Makoto solves it, which leads to Arin shouting "IT'S LEON!" for half the trial to no avail.

Ironically, the most damning evidence in the trial isn't explicitly identified during the investigation. The case against Leon would be circumstantial, if not for the question of whether he unwrapped his toolkit to disassemble the bathroom doorknob. And even so, Makoto is exonerated too easily--the kids decide he wouldn't have bothered unscrewing the doorknob since he knew how to jiggle it. The kids just assume Makoto wouldn't be crafty enough to go to such extreme lengths to frame Leon, which is incredibly naive. I have to think Celeste picked up on this and and realized she could run circles around these rubes.

I have a special place in my heart for the Grumps' voices for all the characters, so it's pretty funny watching these early episodes where they still haven't worked it all out. Dan's take on Kyoko and Byakuya really carries this series for me, but at first she's got some kind of stuck-up Valley Girl thing going and he's all over the map. And of course, it's not until episode 3 that they hit on "Maizono = paisano" and give Sayaka a silly Italian accent.

This part of the story focuses almost exclusively on Makoto and Sayaka, which really swerved me. Everybody else comes off as superficial assholes, and the whole "Sayaka is the one kid who knew you in junior high" angle felt very contrived to me. I didn't have high expectations for the plot or the character development in this story. So I never saw it coming that Sayaka was the first to die, or that she got killed because she was the first to attempt murder, or that she'd be ruthless enough to frame Makoto. That's when the plot slapped me in the face and told me there's more to this story than watching the dumb hijinx of shallow teenagers stuck in a dating sim gone wrong.

It's probably not a coincidence that I got into the story just as Kyoko emerges as a major character. I cannot overstate that the kids in Danganronpa are constantly saying really stupid things. During the trial it is proposed that Sayaka was killed with a sword and the killer wanted to remove evidence she was in the room, which is absurd since her corpse is still there with a kitchen knife in her belly. In my first watch, Kyoko stepped up to cut through the bullshit just when I needed it most. Before long, when anything dumb was happening I would start wondering where Kyoko was, and hoping she'd show up to advance the plot. As she might say, I fell right into the mastermind's trap...

(Oh, there's a reference to Frank from House Party in episode 4. I lol'd)

[the-mighty-mittens]

Finished the prologue of Omori after like 5 hours XD

✨spoilers for anything past the prologue✨

Kinda just liveblogging my gameplay

Still haven't found Basil but Irl Basil is okay (?) at least

Irl Aubrey is a jerk

Sunny leaves his house after like 4 years (is this kid okay) and gets into several fights, bringing a knife I forgot he had to a playground argument

I think everyone drifted apart and, since they seem younger in the prologue and irl Sunny wakes up after.. leaving white space, I think part of it takes place in a dream where Sunny/Omori is thinking about his friends still being together in his dreams

MARI'S DEAD?! (Giving more evidence to my dream/memory theory)

Oh Mewo is/was Mari's cat

The photo album is so cute (I wonder if the photos Aubrey kept were of Mari?)

Wait wait wait so if Mari's been dead for a few years, then it can't have been Mari at the door during the prologue then, maybe it was a good thing I didn't let her in

I wonder what happened to Mari

Should I have left Basil by himself?

Eugh.. spiders

Spooky spider guy with the dumb face I saw earlier

Looks like "Something" is just teaching Sunny coping mechanisms

Well.. at least Memory Mari's still alive

So it looks like Something not only teaches Sunny(/Omori) how to calm down and stuff, but also overcome those fears (Heights, Spiders)

Also this boy is tough as hell, he really holds on to that last hit point huh? Edit: I guess that's for the tutorial XD I just died lmao

Edit again: No, Omori is definitely a little tougher

Thank god for Mari's picnic blanket for some reason I can't figure out where I have to go and keep almost dying

Seriously where is Basil?!

Waiiiitt is that why the picnic baskets irl are "empty picnic baskets" instead of "Mari's picnic basket"? ;-;

These sprout moles are giving White Pearl energy

THIS GUY'S A HEALING BOSS NOOOO

So I died, gonna have to do it again

King crawler has killed me 6 times

HAHA SUCK IT KING CRAWLER

How the hell did Mari get down here before us 😭

"Hero left your party" Are we gonna get him back?

Short people get sent to the dungeon

Last song: In hell we live, lament - Mili feat. Kihow, what a wonderful song, especially the voiceless version, gives me really particular sensation, as if I were at the center of a space and around things happen according to the rhythm of the music and I'm there to enjoy them while also giving me energy, it's difficult to explain. I recommend hearing it together with the others from Mili, they are a fantastic experience! ("Fly, my wings" still makes me cry...) Can't wait for their next concert in Europe hoping to see them when it will happen with my friend.

Currently reading: At the moment I am trying to finish reading some comics to be able to start some recommendations by my friends and because of a certain Company to read some classics that I have never heard of ("Dream of the red chamber", "Demian", "Hell screen", ecc.) or that I would not have expected the desire to read, ("The metamorphosis" of Kafka, "Moby dick", "Crime and punishment", "Wuthering heights") or simple got the curiosity, but never got the chance to read. ("The stranger" of Camus, "Don Quixote"). In terms of Fanfiction: The Magnus Archives, Limbus company and when my mind reminds me of a fandom. I'm always open for suggestions!

Currently watching: Nothing in particular, if not random videos in the background (especially lobotomy corporation videos to remind me that I'm not the only one doing certain choices) when I'm doing stuff. Need to see vox machina and finish other shows when I want to see something again.

Currently obsessed with: Like I said before The Magnus Archives, Limbus Company. Limbus is really a good gacha game (if you don't count the tutorial, but there is always internet fortunately) and the other project moon's games too, they are truly a breath of fresh air after the last few games I've played recently. They are almost as difficult as Atlus games (in the last chapter of limbus there are certain battles that I had started more than one time, but damn the satisfaction when you beat them is awesome). Speaking of the latter, I hope it doesn't mess up with the remake of Persona 3 and that they let me enjoy it properly like the first time I played the one for ps2 despite the lack of Hamuko and "The answer".

....

I have another story to add to the 'My life has ADHD'.

- Tried fixing the bath today. Like, water running down outside the bathtub when you shower. Easy fix, I know the problem, have a solution. Half an hour tops.

- Discover silicon that's basically black at this point. Resign myself to 'alright so this gonna be a longer project'.

Poor, misguided me. Foolish Icarus. You have no idea. You're a broke student with a misguided sense of 'I can fix this myself, right?' with no skills or knowledge to back that confidence.

- my sister plus three other ppl are coming tomorrow. Including a child. We need a functioning bath.

- sparing you the details but I dissamble the whole fucking bathtub. Stare at the monstrosity that they call a functioning system.

- regret half of my life choices.

- realize that I will have to recaulk the whole fucking thing.

I have never done such a thing. Nor watched it being done. I'm a baby adult. My survival skills wholly rely on YouTube tutorials.

- after contemplating to just ignore the problem I go to work.

- my guys. I know nothing, yeah? Nothing. But whatever the fuck I learned in the five minutes Google research was already more than whatever the fuck the guy did who had his hands on that bathroom before me.

- as a product of that I have to remove two caulking. And a part of the wall because someone thought it was smart to have a plastic cover over the caulk to embedd it into the wall. As I put the chisel to work I wonder how I could explain to my roommate what happened to the bathroom

- roommates comes in. Looks at me. Looks at the bathroom. Looks at me again. I have a mask on, safety goggles and slightly maniac expression as I hack at the caulking that's so inaccessible that I can't reach it with my tools. Roommate says nothing. Offers me some pasta.y stomach reminds me that I have eaten exactly one piece of chocolate in the morning.

- roommate has some art project with mirrors. I get to smash some glass. Feels very nice. Roommates leaves for a walk.

- through some miracle and with a lot sweat, tears and curses I finish the caulking

- high from my actually decent looking work, sleep depravation and one monster the only thing still making me move, I decide to help roommate with before mentioned art project.

- mirrors are the worst. I mutter and curse while I do my work

- roommate tried talking to me a few times. I do not realize that. Or notice them. Until half an hour later when they suddenly spawn in the kitchen where they have been the whole time. I have a miniature heart attack and nearly throw the caulking gun at them in surprise.

- they tell me I did a good job and to got to bed. Despite my normally strong hatred for being told what to do I follow the advice. I feel more drunk and incoherent than after three cocktails

- I go to lie down on my bed, tired, exhausted and ready to just shut down

- roommate comes in.

- "hey don't you think we're missing something essential from the house?"

- I stare at them blearily, unsure if this might already be a dream and if not, how I should get the brain capacity to think and formulate words. Was that a discussion prompt, a philosophical question as to what is deigned important? Is important an objective word or always subjective? Or is it a subtle hint that we need something in our household that once again is normal for the rest of the world but didn't occur to me until pointed out?

- Roommate smiles loopsided and drags something into my view

- I don't comprehend. There's glass. Wood. Some splinters.

- a window

- I look to wall where my window should be. I see hinges moving in the wind.

- The fucking window broke off. My roommate holds the fucking broken away window of my bedroom in their hands.

- I decide this is a problem for tomorrow. Then I don't have a window. Who needs windows anyways. Importance of things is subjective.

high school random blurbs | hs!au mcyts x reader

note: haha hi guys- surprise surprise but these are TOTALLY not based off of real life events-

included: feral boys + wilbur !

pronouns: none mentioned

not edited

dream:

you're wearing his letterman's jacket, cheering on the football team, lungs burning from screaming dream's name. a jacket, very so obviously not yours, with giant white letters on the back displaying 'wastaken', was wrapped around your figure. you could barely hear the footsteps against the metal bleachers approaching you, the speakers blared old pop songs.

"niki! hi!" "y/n- you made it!" "mhm."

you nervously fiddled with the sleeves of the jacket, this was the first time you've worn it. niki took one glance and immediately shot you a grin.

"nice jacket."

sapnap:

sitting at a small table in the corner of the library was a spot you often found yourself with sapnap, mostly while you studied and he watched. he always claims he should be studying, but when does he ever?

"sapnap, shouldn't you be reviewing for the history test tomorrow?" "it's history- the answers have already happened!"

as much as you wanted to laugh, you suppressed it, shaking your head instead.

"mhm okay- then what did you get on the last test?"

he paused, narrowing his eyes playfully at you.

"i hate you." "no you don't." "yea, you're right- i love you."

your jaw fell, you weren't sure if he was being serious or not. sapnap's frown formed into a smirk, crossing his arms in enjoyment over your speechlessness.

"look who's quiet now." "go away."

george:

"this is so difficult." "oh come on george- you're doing good, just keep going!"

the small square of paper in his palm looked like a folded mess while yours looked so clean and flat. you had suggested that the two of you follow a tutorial from youtube for origami cat hearts and hesitant to say no, here he was besides you.

"y/n- mine looks so dumb." "look!"

you held up a perfect little heart with a cat peaking up above it to his face, an excited smile on your features. he couldn't help but feel his heart melt a bit, cheeks tinging red.

"it's cute-"

you picked his up, observing its imperfect and lopsided heart. it was endearing in its own way, you loved it.

"awww i love yours george, here let's swap." "o-okay."

tucking it away into the front of your binder, you bid farewell, getting to your next class. staring at the little cat heart, george crashed his face into his hands, cheeks into a full out blush.

y/n's so cute.

karl:

"karl!"

stopping in his step, he turned around, eyes widening when you almost run straight into him. steadying you, placing his hands on your shoulders, he sends you a concerned look.

"woah there, slow down- what's up?" "pick four colors."

in your hand was an old cookie tin but now filled with a whole array of colored thread.

"uh- yellow, blue, purple, and green?" "okay thanks!" "you're... welcome?"

he couldn't do much but stare at your disappearing figure, wondering what the hell was going on.

scirbbling down the notes he had missed, karl sat himself in the corner of the cafeteria, in order to stay focused. a colorful paper box dropped in front of him, causing him to look up.

"here you are- i couldn't find you." "yea i had to get some notes from george- what's this?" "open it and find out!"

slowly lifting the box cover, a small bracelet lay inside. a simple bracelet that you would often find at summer camps or stowaway trips.

"wait is this what you had me pick colors for?"

you shook your head eagerly before pulling up your sleeve.

"we're matching! i made one for myself as well"

karl quickly slipped it on, grinning from ear to ear.

"thank you y/n- i'm going to wear this everyday."

quackity:

a black and purple jersey hung around your chest, fitting right into the spirit day. as most others wore their favorite famous football or baseball's players jerseys, you sat in your seat wearing one of your own school's players.

"y/n- who's jersey are you wearing?"

your teacher had been asking everyone, finally landing on you.

"oh- it was my siblings." "awh that's sweet."

you nod your head slowly, avoidding eye contact with a certain brunette that sat scross the class.

truthfully, you had said you didn't have a jersey and you loved spirit days- so who were you to say no when a cute duck boy offered you his extra jersey?

your best friend shot you a questioning look, knowing your sibling didn't play football. finally looking towards him, he looked like he couldn't contain his laughter. his lips mouthed silent words, ones you could barely catch.

you fucking liar

wilbur:

your eyes swept the dance floor, trying to find your friend amongst the huge crowd of people. homecoming was nearing its end, people slowly filed out, the numerous booths shutting down. wilbur stood closely besides you to not lose you. he had been with his friends for a majority of the dance but ended up hanging out with you and your friends.

"did you find them yet karl?" "no! i'll text them though."

wilbur checked his phone, five minutes till closing time. gently nudging your side, he leaned down so you could hear him over the music.

"hey do you want to go to the photobooth? i think the line is gone."

your eyes widened in shock before nodding.

"hey karl! we'll be right back!" "ok!"

approaching the booth, you heard some chaperones calling out for people to head out.

"hurry wilbur-"

he clicked the button before getting into postion. you felt your face warm as he wrapped an arm around your waist before smiling.

3...2....1

"okay- peace signs next!"

3...2...1

"what now-" "i dont know im bad at posing-" "we dont have time!"

wilbur quickly put up a goofy face, causing you to collapse into laughter.

*click*

"ew im mid-laugh" "it's cute."

[guessfuckingwhatbitch]

Kim Hyunsung knew that he was a lucky man.

Not because he gained a second chance to fix the first timeline. Not in the way he was the Blue Guild's Guild Master or the Light Swordsman. Not even in the way that he had Legendary and Heroic stats.

Instead, he has Lee Kiyoung's favour. That is how he knew he was lucky.

Lee Kiyoung had the attention and affections of many people. For all purposes, he has a Harem. The Harem is made up of many powerful, beautiful, important, and intelligent women. He hardly pays them any mind. He seems to not want, nor care for the Harem.

Jung Hayan, she was obsessive in her devotion. Che Heera was possessive, ensuring everyone knew of her connection to him. Lee Jihye was comparable to his perfect match, their relationship consisting of a complete understanding of each other.

But none of them won Lee Kiyoung's attention and affection back.

Kim Hyunsung's face was always described as stoic. Friendly to allies and vicious to enemies, but stoic in his day-to-day goings. Lee Kiyoung always seemed to know what he wanted, what he was thinking and feeling despite that. "You're very expressive, your face gives you away" Lee Kiyoung once told him, "You can't lie very well Hyunsung", he said at another. Lee Kiyoung always got to work on what Kim Hyunsung wanted before Kim Hyunsung could find a reasonable explanation outside of "I've lived through this before".

Lee Kiyoung, it all comes back to Lee Kiyoung.

Lee Kiyoung reminded him to take it slow with the Blue Guild and convinced the other members in their first raid group to do their best in the demonstration. He ensured their party stayed together. He built up their worth as more than just 'the fastest group to complete the tutorial dungeon', and made connections with the Red Mercenaries. Lee Kiyoung helped weed out the members who grabbed a rotten rope and helped promote him to the position of Guild Master. Lee Kiyoung trusted him and paved a smooth path toward his former positions.

Kim Hyunsung could have been tricked into thinking Lee Kiyoung also came back in time, he was startlingly effective in anything he did – except combat. He seemed to know who would cause them harm, who Kim Hyunsung had a bad history with. Lee Kiyoung made connections with the most important people in the future and seemed to know everyone’s capabilities and growth capacity.

And he made Kim Hyunsung all that must more important than before. Kim Hyunsung became a figurehead. He was trusted by the people around him. He became reliable as a task force member. His once cold, stiff, lacking Blue Guild became lively. They rose in fame again, in popularity. Wealth came to them, something Kim Hyunsung thought would never have happened. His guild members were happy. Alive. Stronger.

Even in dreams, Kim Hyunsung never hoped for such a thing.

All for him. Lee Kiyoung did all of this for him. His life was easier, his life was given another meaning. His life was given a purpose that didn't give him the weight of the world. He had someone to share it with.

Lee Kiyoung was kind. He was warm. Caring and dedicated. He oversaw the well-being of others and got rid of those who stood against their ideology. Lee Kiyoung always sought him out. Always worked hard for him, for their shared goals. For Kim Hyunsung’s hopes. For Kim Hyunsung’s desires.

Lee Kiyoung seemed like he would do anything he asked, as long as it was the right choice. He was a Saint. Kim Hyunsung knew, he had a Saints favour.

Kim Hyunsung found himself wondering, for such a brilliant and shining man, where was he in the last timeline? Who was he? Had he died in the tutorial? If Kim Hyunsung found him before, could all those tragedies be avoided?

Kim Hyunsung knew he was lucky. All the good he has experienced in this life was given to him by Lee Kiyoung. He had his attention, his affection. He would do anything for Lee Kiyoung, to keep his focus on him.

Ah, he really loves Lee Kiyoung.

I'm sure someone on here has already said this but.

the thing that creeped me out the most about spamton's encounter was his active acknowledgment of Kris' soul.

Obviously, the absence of music leading up to the scene and glitchy-ish dialogue all add to the 'hm there's something a lil funky bout this guy and not in the good way' feeling-

But (and correct me if i'm wrong) the only time the soul was ever mentioned beforehand was during ralsei's tutorial, and then never again.

In Undertale, it was all about 'ohoho human i'm gonna steal your soul!' and 'i shall defeat you and absorb your soul!' all the time every second every major battle 24/7 steal ya kids.

In Deltarune? It's been 'kill the lightners' and 'lightners must pay for their sins' and 'perhaps turn them into my minions and maybe even Robotify Their Face'

It's always been as a collective that we were threatened, and it was threats to our party as a whole that we dealth with.

However, when we're [Alone on a Dark Night]? And this strange glitchy creature comes out with his weird spam-email-reminiscent dialogue, but little quirks like these are par for the course in Deltarune characters-

Until he mentions taking our soul. Something about freedom, something about the 'light'.

And we sit up because huh. That hasn't happened before. That hasn't happened for a long time.

And suddenly this battle feels a bit more real, a bit off, because he wants our soul. Specifically Kris' soul, and yes we've been through this song and dance before, but never here. Not in this game, not in this universe, not in this same-slightly-off life. We realize this only in the face of deviation.

It's not the same, of course. (Light? What is this light? Do you want power? Do you desire determination? Is light determination? Whom are you bound by? What level of meta are we dealing here?)

But it's close enough to tense, to jostle the edge of it all.

And you really, actually, crushingly start to wonder--

how different is it here?

(Annddd putting it under the cut since this got way too long.

Underneath: a short ramble/recounting about preconceived notions from Undertale that I subconsciously carried over to Deltarune, and trying to challenge them.

Or, I talk about things that people probably figured out a long time ago.

Or, the status of magic, the difference between humans and monsters, and Toilet Theory.)

(Fair warning, I didn't research about any of these topics before writing it down. There is probably a lot of information I'm missing/misremembering due to the fact I was just pulling it out of my brain as I went. This post is sponsored by the brainrot, so expect incoherentness here and there.)

SOULs & MAGIC

In Undertale, the concept of absorbing Human SOULs is introduced to the player in Waterfall, only mentioned briefly in passing before. The culmination of our being, persists after death, allegedly holds our compassion and hopes and dreams, the monster that arises from a being with both a human and monster soul, all that jazz.

The menu that Kris has in the town is the same as the normal Undertale menu, while the Dark World menu is completely different. Is this meant say that the Light World is more comparable to the Underground than the Dark World? Maybe.

The SOULs book in the town library spouts the same things as Ralsei in regards to the nature of the SOUL. It only notes that nobody really knows the true inner workings of the SOUL. Nothing about human souls, or if they're even stronger than monster souls.

Magic may not even be present in the Deltarune Light World. Toriel indicates, by both dialogue and flavor text, that she uses the oven to bake as opposed to fire magic. There aren't any nudge-and-wink allusions to bullet patterns or magical spears when you explore the town.

In the room that Kris is taken to after being captured by Queen, they have a 'how to do magic' book. When I first saw that scene, I thought it was cute that maybe Kris saw one of their family members doing magic and wanted to be just the same, but couldn't since they were human. Thinking about it more though, I couldn't recall any mentions of magic in the Light world before.

Now that I think about it, Darkners having SOULs hasn't been implied in any way either. While we can assume Light World monsters have souls due to the town library having a book on it, nobody ever mentions anything in regards to a Darkner soul.

(... Ah. So, I just looked up No-Mercy runs of Deltarune, and like... I've only ever played pacifist routes before, right? They run away, huh. I was expecting dust... which I suppose is what this list is for.)

Kris' soul has the power to 'shine their light' on others, and their soul is what pops up when Susie fights Lancer. You can see it fly in from the upper right during battle. Kris also has the power to seal dark fountains-- and apparently only Kris can seal the dark fountains. Is it because they're human? Why can't Susie do it?

When Queen mentioned DETERMINATION, I was very, very interested. How it's used to make Dark Fountains, and how it appears that all Lightners can utilize the power of DETERMINATION. It takes DETERMINATION to make a dark fountain, I think, but does it take determination to close it? It can't just be about determination though-- it's something about Kris' soul specifically. Is it because they're human? Is it because of Player Intervention?

I cannot remember if, in Undertale, Undyne was able to get her DETERMINATION upgrade due to Alphys' help, but I think that's how it went?? You probably already know about UT DT and the goopy lil Amalgamates.

So, could you recreate Amalgamates within the parameters of the Deltarune universe? The monsters melt when injected with DT due to their body being made of magic and dust. Is Falling Down still a thing in Deltarune? Rudy fell down in the UT universe, I believe, so is the same thing happening here?

Monsters who fell down in Undertale can be found in the Deltarune cemetery.

(another thing: on the crystal's grave, there's something at the foot of it which I think is some kind of flower? The brown part looks vaguely stem-shaped. Suspect that either the Snowdrake in our class or his dad at the apartments left it there. Sad, but sweet.)

Right around here, I realized I've subconsciously accepted that monsters turn to dust in Deltarune as well. But, honestly, how do I know that?

Looking to these gravestones, though, that fact may still hold true for Deltarune.

From left to right, the inscriptions are:

GERSON, RENOWNED HISTORIAN, AUTHOR, AND TEACHER

CRYSTAL, A SNOWY GEMSTONE FOR A PROUD MOTHER

MUTTLER, A BIG BONE FOR THE LEADER OF THE PACK

SHYRA, A KARAOKE MICROPHONE FOR A BRAVE SINGER

With the exception of Gerson, each grave has a special item, including a corresponding image. As you may know, in Undertale there's a practice of spreading a monster's dust over their prized possession when they die.

"(It’s a school report about monster funerals.)

"Monster funerals, technically speaking, are cool as heck. When monsters get old and kick the bucket, they turn into dust. At funerals, we take that dust and spread it on that person’s favorite thing. Then their essence will live on in that thing... Uhhh, am I at the page minimum yet? I’m kinda sick of writing this.""

Taking that into consideration, it might be reasonable to infer that the same practice happens in Deltarune. Why else would they call special attention to these objects? As such, this would imply that Deltarune monsters dust when they die as well.

Of course, this could just be a cheeky wink alluding to the idea of that Undertale practice, but is not Actually A Thing in the Deltarune world.

Other misc. questions: Do human souls persist after death? Are boss monsters still a concept? If so, do their souls persist after death as well? Can you absorb souls in the Light World? Can you absorb souls in the Dark World? Do Humans, Monsters, and Darkners all have inherently different souls?

HUMANS & MONSTERS

Humans and Monsters living in harmony is another point of interest. That peace presumably extends further than HomeTown as the library possessing a published book on 'How to Take Care of Humans'. Kris seems to be discomforted by the sight or existence of other humans, closing the book once they glimpse photos of said subject.

As for humans' place in society, everyone seems to treat Kris pretty normally. There's not really any malice/fear being directed toward them on account of being human. And, obviously, no allusion to any the Great War Between Humans and Monsters.

There are still things like 'humans under the bed' (which is a riff off of the monster variation, but still is something) and that aforementioned book needing to exist in the first place. The young bunny in the window at the brick apartments saying we're the 'human who lives on the hill'.

There is a very, very slight sense of otherness on account of Kris' human status. However, that's largely eclipsed by them being excluded because they are, as once said by a Great skeleton, a Frickin Weirdo.

(I mean this with love, by the way, go steal that pie and terrorize your childhood friend, Kris. )

Anyhow, that means their behavior/demeanor is the main thing that makes them 'different'. They're called a weenie just as much as any monster. Having Toriel/Asgore as parents affect the way that other people interact with them more than being human. No 'human culture' vs 'monster culture' at all, perhaps because it's all one in the same. Not even any comments about a Weird Difference Between Human/Monster Biology.

This game isn't about humans and monsters-- it's about Lightners and Darkners.

But the fact that Kris is a human while everyone else is a monster is a little strange. Why isn't Kris considered just another kind of monster? Why is 'human' an 'other'?

In Undertale, humans and monsters had both physical differences and a long, tension-filled history between them that would warrant such a degree of separation.

Monsters have weaker souls, wield magic, and are made of magic/dust. Humans are much stronger, made of water, and are much more similar to each other than the Monsters. The blue books in the Snowdin Libarby also imply that humans cannot use magic, "they will never know the joy of a bullet-pattern birthday card..".

(Frisk as a character may technically have 'magic', resets and saves and all that, but it's a little wobbly and you could consider that 'magic' just being the player's intervention. Stranger still is the fact that monsters were sealed by a 'magic spell', but who knows what's going on there.)

Aside from these physical differences, there also seems to be an equal amount of total monsters and to an equal amount of total humans in UT. All the Snowdrakes + Snowcaps + Vulcans + etc etc all add up to a group called 'Monsters' that equal the amount of 'Humans'. Or, that is how it seems to be portrayed, but still might yet be another assumption by me.

If it is true that there's an equal amount of monsters/humans, it does make sense for humans to want to stick to their own while monsters do the same. Because these humans stuck to people so like them, they might begin to fear the unpredictability of the monsters. Monsters have to get used to different types of monsters and attacks and patterns and quirks that I imagine they're pretty adaptable.

Back to Deltarune, what could be the reasons that separate 'Human' and 'Monster?'

It could go back to physical differences once again, and is likely the most prominent reason. As stated before though, the status of magic is ??? in the Lightworld. Monsters seem to still be made of dust, but is magic what's holding them together? Are Light World monsters still made of 'magic'? The concept of a SOUL is alive in Deltarune, which sorta leans into magic still being a thing in the Deltarune Light World. If so, then why does no one use magic? Are there laws on it or something? Have the Light World monsters forgotten how?

Could the separation between humans and monsters come from the 'there's an equal amount of total humans and equal amount of total monsters' theory? Since both groups form their own individuality over time, that may cause the distance between 'human' and 'monster'.

Or, was there a war to cause hosility between the two groups? A battle? Could this be a world where the war of Humans vs Monsters went differently? A different conflict entirely?

If so, do you think the Darkners were just watching from the back like <_< >_>

And don't get me started about Darkners, they are STRANGE they do not DUST (but do freeze) and run away. Would the Darkners play meditator to, at least what they perceive as, a Lightner civil war if they had to? Could the Darkners be the reason there isn't any war?

... What is up with Darkner magic??? What are darkners even made of?? Why do they turn into objects in the Light World?? Why is it their duty to 'serve'?? Why are Darkners aware of Lightners, but Lightners not aware of Darkners?? We know that Lightners aren't aware of Darkners, as Undyne seems be amused at the idea of a 'Dark World' in the school.

Speaking of differences. There's a toilet in Kris' house.

...I know, weird point of contention.

BUT OKAY YOU REMEMBER THIS RIGHT

TOILET THEORY & FOOD

(Do I just want an excuse to call something 'Toilet Theory'?

... Maybe.)

Now, I KNOW Monster Food has been heavily theorized in the past, though I don't remember any particular posters. As a result, my conceptualization of monster food and the lines of logic that I follow are a result of these half-buried, half-remembered 2016 memories. Highly recommend searching more through posts about it though!

In Undertale, a lot of monster food is most often assumed to be made of magic in lieu of the whole non-digesting thing and many monsters having food-based attacks (i.e vegetoid). I'm sure there are other reasons for this headcanon, and it could be directly confirmed for all I know. Aside from special cases, monsters cook/bake their food. Toriel baking the pie, Mettaton having a cooking show, Burgerpants flipping patties, etc.

It does make me wonder-- do the ingredients make a magical dissolving monster food? Or is it the act of cooking itself that makes it magical?

I also think? The garbage dump probably plays a role with the food in the Underground?? Food probably falls down from the surface? Isn't that where Alphys gets her Instant Noodles from?? Or are there wheat farms in the underground?? There IS flour though?? In Mettaton's show?? Where do the eggs come from??

I'm unsure if gaining HP is indicative of magic monster food, as I don't have anything to back up that assumption. If that assumption is correct, though, then the reasoning that cooking/baking itself makes monster food magical wouldn't hold up. Astronaut Food gives you HP, and you found that in the dump, presumably washed up from the surface. Perhaps entering the Underground itself makes a food item a monster food item?

Contrary to the conversation above, there does have to exist bathrooms of some variation within the Underground as Papyrus "showers in his battle body suit". Regardless, there'd be no wanting for a toilet with monster food apparently not going through the digestion process.

With the presence of a toilet in Deltarune, four possibilities come to mind:

a.) All Deltarune Light World Food DOES have the same properties as Undertale's monster food, monsters simply Do Not Poop, and that toilet is for Kris and Kris alone. Which, uh, they apparently choose to flush bath bombs down...?

b.) The toilet is E for Everyone and Deltarune, Light World food does not possess that non-digesting magical quality. Monsters poop.

c.) The Deltarune Light World has a combination of both monster food and human food, therefore the porcelain throne is a needed essential in any well-to-do house.

d.) Deltarune Light Word Food has some variations of properties that operate on another set of unrelated rules.

Or, at least, that's what I thought. However, in the case of option (a.), if this non-digesting Monster Food is the norm in the Deltarune Overworld, then Kris wouldn't really need a toilet either, would they? Maybe in the beginning of their assumed adoption, but definitely not now. So that makes option (a.) a little moot.

I cannot think of any alternatives that would pave the way for option (d.), so it's likely (c.) or (b.). I'm more inclined to lean towards (b.) just for the fact that there are not any present indicators that (c.) is true. Even something small would suffice, like a package saying 'magic-made' or something. If (b.) is true, then that raises the question of Where The Heck Is The Magic even more.

The hot chocolate doesn't show any HP healing when checked. Funnily enough, the box of chocolates does affect your health, dropping to a solid 19/20.

(If [b.] is true, the hot chocolate would lend credence to the idea that HP healing means magical food, and visa versa. The two points would feed on each other like a neverending worm eating worm.)

RELIGION

Christmas is a Thing. Wonder how that happened? Humans make it? monsters? Both?

Is DR Christmas related to religion? I gotta tell you I'm eating whatever DT religion world-building I can get. Seems monotheistic? Or is it more of a life-style dealio? Not of the confessional type, something something angel, the sick fruit juice, what is the Story There. Hymns?? I find it funny that presumably, the deltarune carpet Kris has in their room is equivalent to hanging a cross up. There's also the Deltarune on the school door so.

Imagine you fall inside a storage closet with your classmate-bully who eats chalk and all of a sudden you got your fancy new glowup and you've just been attacked for some reason and you meet this random cloaked figure in the castle. He starts telling you a story that boils down to 'ay yo secret world here you gotta save the Earth. If you don't do anything Jesus Christ is gonna come down here and wreck stuff' like huh??

(Emphasis on 'light' here??)

The angel seems to be a positive figure in Kris' religion, even maybe the central figure. It could be akin to a God or something like a prophet. It could be the one who spread the religion in the first place. But in the Dark World prophecy, we have to stop the 'Angel's Heaven'-- making the Angel our apparent opponent.

This could be calling back to UT Gerson's telling of the Deltarune. There, it was left up to interpretation whether the angel was gonna make the Underground 'go empty' in a good way or a bad way. It'll be interesting to find out more about it either way.

Other interesting things include the currency being actual dollars in the Light World. Dark World has dark dollars, obviously, but the money in Asriel's drawer is specifically referred to as 'dollars'. No gold here folks.

Anddd that's all the world differences that I can think of at the moment. This was supposed to be just about why the words [HeartShapedObject] sent a shiver down my spine when I first played the game. I haven't really written things like this before, but I suppose the brainrot needs to fester somewhere. I'm pretty sure I've seen videos floating around about SOULs and Deltarune DETERMINATION on YouTube already. This list is moreover for me to figure things out, so there's probably stuff that people have known for a while~

All in all, I want to continuously keep in mind that Undertale rules do not automatically apply to Deltarune rules. It's fascinating to see if/where they differ. While I'm pretty sure some rules of the Undertale world are supposed to carry over, I'll wait until those details have been confirmed within the game of Deltarune itself. Deltarune is its own world and I can't wait to see whatever the Light World has in store.

If anyone in the Deltarune fandom (who for some ungodly reason has read this far) knows any theories/facts that might answer some questions that popped up here, or if anything I've said so far is Blatantly Wrong, I'd love to know! (Nicely, please.)

Evidently, I might be into Deltarune again. Now excuse me while I replay Chapter Two...

Watched the sixth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVED IT!

So... LEGO released some drawing tutorials with Mateo and I just... they're so pure I wanna hug him 😭😭😭 They're super adorable, I love especially Z-Blob's since he spends the entire time talking about how great his slime buddy is and MOOD MAT MOOD 💚💚💚

We're beyond halfway, I'm kinda sad but I'll wait until the end, maybe we got luck for a season 2?

Here we go!

THE ANOMALY

NOTHING BETTER HAPPEN TO Z-BLOB DO NOT HARM THE BLOB 😡

Pff, what was the chicken story? 🤣

Zoey is still a bit distant, I can't tell if she wants to join in or she likes these people enough to just hang around. I mean, she wasn't there last episode...

Did Logan drop the "Mattie" nick? It felt very derogatory so him switching to Teo feels like a step forward

IS THIS A COOPER EPISODE?? OH YES PLEASE GIVE ME THE DEPTH! ❤️

I knew it, he is stressed! Poor boy got stuff to do and can't even have breakfast, Coop please take care of yourself and have some proteins first thing in the morning 😢

You'll have all the time you want to have breakdowns once you reach high school

It seems like Cooper is the reliable one, Mateo and Logan are constantly over him asking for stuff. I wonder if they also affected his stress as well...

Okay Logan is still mean 😅 He's better, but still mean, and he changed teams permanently? I don't know if this is a "we're not an actual team, only in the Dream World" or a "we'll always be a dream, even if we're not in the real world"... mm

Finally we see the Night Bureau! We saw it only once before... while Teo was almost turning into a night terror... ah such good untraumatic memories 🙂

Ah, so Z is an anomaly? Come to think of it, did he come across because of Lunia's hourglass? Was there another reason?

These objects are histerical 😂😂

CHICKEN MATEO NOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay, I'm liking this consistent trend of having Zoey being the most useful character despite being on her own, she just waltzed in solving that riddle lol

Agent... Strick? Oh-oh

DO NOT EVEN TRY TO TAKE AWAY MY SLIME BABY Z-BLOB 😡😡😡

Oooohhhh, so this is confirmed to be Brooklyn? Cool, I didn't know it was an actual place! Again I'm too used to imaginary places like Ninjago or Chima 😂

This gal is intense, dude you locked Oz in a room, isn't that a bit much? Should we call the policr?

Zoey is just there for the drama, girl are you with us or not? 😂😂

Did... did that detect thing turn red when it was on Mateo? Was it only because Z-Blob was behind? Huh... huh

SHE FLIPPING TURNED INTO A BABY/WOMAN WHAT IS HAPPENING

Z-Blob floating has to be the cutest thing even, like, look at that little guy go! To infinity and beyond 💚

NO WAIT NOT BEYOND THE WINDOW

I see how it's going 😅😅

I'm so sorry I understimated Cooper, look at him! He's just a kid and he really wants to be up to expectations, and now we got a brother that sets the example? Dude I'm eating this, I'm a sucker for angst, LOOK AT THIS BOY HE NEEDS A BREAK 😭😭😭

Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS Z-BLOB SHENANIGANS 💚💚💚

You did not make a hotdog out of slime

YOU DID NOT MAKE A Z-BLOB BALOON WHAT IS THIS SLIME DOING???

Is he afraid of being captured? I've never seen him going this awol before, he's always besides Mateo no matter what! Is he only scared or is there a reason?

Dude Cooper was so stressed he forgot breakfast!!! EAT BABY EAT!!!

Okay baby Strick is kinda hilarious... and Oz is on the ceiling... and there is still junk everywhere... and where is Albert? WHAT IS HAPPENING PEOPLE?!

Cooper you left for half a day, and now everything is on fire 😅

LOOK AT HIM IGNORING HIS BROTHER TO CHECK ON HIS FRIEND 🥹🥹🥹

I👏LOVE👏TEO👏AS👏A👏NICK👏

Cooper skyrocketed on my appreciation list in this episode, his backstory got so much potential for analysis! He's such a good friend, he's just very stressed out but he's super capable!!! ❤️

MATEO IDEA TIME 💚💚💚

Was that the superman line? 🤣

Aaaand, we're back! Are we fixing everything now that Coop is here?

Oh wow we actually are! I adore mechanics, I was all over them in Ninjago (Jay and Nya and Zane and Pixal and Ronin and Cyrus... there are so many in Ninjago 🥰), so this is so cool to see!

Agent Strick approves Cooper! YAS!

Oohh, so Zoey was maybe interested in joining, but never could before? Is this why she was a bit snarky in this episode, maybe she wanted to join but could never physically? That's kinda adorable 😂😂

PARTY TIME EVERYONE💃💃💃

COOPER GOT A SMALL HAIRCUT CHANGE I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤️

Alright this was another really REALLY good episode, but... now I'm stuck with the crazy theory that Mateo is the anomaly 🤣

I'm sure I'm wrong and I'm just blowing this out of proportion, but what if Strict examined that plant and found traces of Z AND Mateo? What if Lunia's hourglass was found by him for a reason?

She said that the anomaly appeared "the other night" so it was clearly Z Blob... but technically the other night was when the show started for me, so I might see this as Mateo appearing in this world for the first time. Could it be he fit in in one night, everyone's memories were changed to accept that, and no one questions this?

... I know this just me headcanoning left and right and it's clearly not gonna happen

... I'M STILL GONNA WRITE FICS ABOUT THIS OKAY 🤩🤩🤩 THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD I'M SO INSPIRED!!!!
