#anyway... EXCITED FOR NEW DELTARUNE CONTENT

[saraanzu]

some brief thoughts on what might happen this ut anniversary:

we already learned a while ago that they would be releasing the silence ending for the spamton sweepstakes and discussing its creation, so I think we can bet on that happening on the anniversary.

as for whether or not there’ll be anything else, I don’t expect a stream or an event as big as the sweepstakes based on the wording of the above tweet. but it’s worth mentioning that the sweepstakes were teased with the phrase “a little something specil” and I personally wasn’t expecting anything as exciting as what we got based off of that. not to be all “toby is a troll and nothing he says can be trusted” but I do sometimes get the sense that he downplays things a bit as not to get anyone’s hopes up too high? maybe it’s just that any crumb of deltarune content feels like the biggest thing in the world to me anyway

I’m also wondering whether or not we’ll be getting a status update this year… I would be more certain of it since there was one in 2019 and 2020 as well, but we have the newsletters now, and those always have a short progress update section (but no teaser images like the status updates have). So far the newsletters have been coming out during the first month of each season (december march and june) so the fall newsletter should be coming out around the same time as the anniversary anyway. maybe it’ll get pushed back for that reason? there’s usually other interesting things in the newsletters of course but the progress updates are the main draw, so it could be redundant to have one come out so close to the anniversary.

anyway, my best guess is that we’re almost definitely going to see the other sweepstakes ending, maybe some new merch (seam plush please?) and probably a status update, although maybe not with as many teasers as last year.

i just. finished reading the last chapter of dream come true and like. god. theres a lot to unpack.

first off i was always a krerdly believer for the series. ever since we saw berdly being a fucking disaster and ask everyone but kris out i was cheering for him to ask out kris. and oh boy you fucking did it. you actually fucking did it im so happy and grinning like an idiot even though berdly asking kris out actually made me die of secondhand embarrassment. the little cringefail gamers going together. what a dream. also kris in a dress supremacy lets fucking go im bad at visualizing stuff in my head but they mustve looked so gender and i am envious.

also a mini fangame thing for the actual epilogue????? oh my god im actually gonna explode. like actually so so so so excited for it.

and finally. i just. want to express my disbelief at how its finally ending. i remember meticulously going through the deltarune tag because i just got sucked back in and i wasn't there for the initial chapter one release of deltarune so i wanted all the content i could get my hands on. and of course there were already some chapter 2 stuff in there, and i saw dare to dream, and thought "oh, that's a nice suselle fic, i'll go check it out" and i fell in love with it. just good pining and fluff, with a little bit of worry about carol in the last chapter but like. ok. and you uploaded a sequel and i was ecstatic and you kept writing. and writing. and writing until eventually we're waist deep into your own headcanon lore with whole new characters and dark worlds and it was just. amazing. actually one of my favorite fic series i've ever read, deltarune or otherwise. every chapter you put out somehow outdid the last and its been such a joy eagerly awaiting the next update and godddddd i cant believe it's finally over.

thank you so much for it all. i genuinely cannot express enough how much dare to dream means to me. the hit of serotonin every time i get the little notification in my emails. me actually having to stop in the middle of reading chapters and walking all over the room. rolling and squealing and flailing in my bed at fuck o clock in the morning. trying to guess what happens in the new chapter and searching through my playlists for mood appropriate music to read to and then changing it when the epic battle turns into a reunion and then lore exposition. its been such a wonderful ride and im looking forward to the epilogue and your future works as well because whatever you decide to put out next, im sure it's gonna be a great one.

im gonna CRY!!! im gonna CRY!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you so much for sticking with the fic this long. God, I was already pretty emotional just posting that chapter, and then all of you fuckers have been so goddamn NICE! I'm scheduling this for tomorrow because of the spoilers, but as of time of writing, I haven't even read through all the comments yet, and i just KNOW its gonna fucking destroy me

Anyway. Yeah the Krerdly thing was a looooong game and im so glad I got to pay it off like this here lmaooo

Why are there still people who KNOW it was confirmed a fan project still trying to hype up the UZ Inu stuff as genuine and acting like their hidden 'hints' are real lore 😭 I wanna go over some points as to why the arguments I've seen don't really hold up at this point.

Trying to get people excited about 'real' content despite it confirmed as not so isn't... A great idea. Yes, the undertale support email that got back and said it was fanmade wasn't Toby himself, but y'all realise he has people from fangamer who playtest his games, right? Plus they know him better than any of us could - they're gonna know when a giant dump of enough music to make up an entire chapter doesn't feel like it's truly his (or if they've heard any of his REAL tracks that world prove these aren't real, such as the genuine themes for Tenna or Toriel).

Yeah, there's lots of toby-ish parts about them but... Some of y'all really need to listen to more utdr fangame osts and fan music/fan music edits in general. People are VERY good at this. Y'all can explain to me why Jockington's theme would make canon sense to contain Ghost Fight though, looking forward to that explanation.

U.Z. Inu being an actual psuedonym he's used in the past proves nothing either - have y'all never heard of the countless fake Toby Fox accounts across a ton of different social media? They just chose a more vague one - most likely bc this is SoundCloud and they'd rather not mislead people THAT badly since Toby himself shares his stuff there and they don't wanna get in trouble or make things difficult for him.

The other argument I've seen is that 'He probably just really wants to share his music! He's been waiting so long!' this man has the patience of a saint. He hid every scrap of deltarune from us for YEARS - and besides, he showed us new music on the ut anniversary and the sweepstakes anyway - more than I expected tbh! He'd have no reason to 'leak' that much music, and ESPECIALLY not to toss out random lore hints with it. Again, that's what the sweepstakes were for. I'd say the closest thing to this he really did was the deltarune website in 2017 - but that was a single page with one sentence and no music. Again, this U.Z. Inu situation isn't his style.

Tldr; it's clearly a fan project, and that's okay! Nothing wrong with appreciating fan works for what they are - that's what fandom is about after all. Whoever's behind this deserves some appreciation for their work (bc it all sounds rad as hell!), and I hope they drop their social media for us to go check out once they've finished playing their little game.

[everysongineverykey]

I'M DONE. HERE. TAKE THESE CHAPTER 2 THOUGHTS AND RUN, BABY.

so i'll try to go in order here. uhhhh... there's a LOT i have to say. first: toriel giggling sprite my beloved

on that note, ALL THE NEW SUSIE SPRITES MY BELOVEDS

NOELLE YOU'RE SO GAY. I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE I TOLD HER TO IN CHAPTER ONE BUT SHE GAVE SUSIE THE LUNCHBOX FULL OF CHALK!! I LOVE ITTTT

ralsei's, uh... kinda sus. the whole "recruiting" thing REALLY sketches me out. and he looks kinda... smug, all the time, like he knows what's going on.

LANCER JOINED! ROUXLS JOINED EVEN THOUGH NO ONE WANTED THAT! STARWALKER JOINED, TO EVERYONE'S JOY!

LIBRARY PORTALLLL

so before i entered the city there was that pre-city area? that looked very much like the city? except it had different music? and i thought they'd cut welcome to the city and i was SEVERELY disappointed. but then they didn't! just something i wanted to mention

NOELLE!!

throughout this game i went from despising berdly to feeling bad for him to not really liking him again, but not hating him as much as before. he'd better stay the fuck away from susie though

the queen is the best villain. she's the kind you love to hate! she's literally so funny AND her boss battle is actually tough (rip to the king but he just. wasn't a formidable enemy at all lol)

THE GANG CHARLIE BROWN DANCING TO WIN A FIGHT! SUSIE GAINING THE POWER TO ACT THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF WILL! SUSIE FORCING RALSEI TO LEARN TO ACT EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T WANT TO! THAT ENTIRE BATTLE WAS AMAZING! THE "BATTLE WON" END DANCING SEQUENCE! GOING INSANE GOING INSANE

the puzzles in this chapter were genuinely really impressive! i especially loved the word search puzzles and the ice-ee undertale word search reference💙

that being said. the mouse puzzles were SO fucking infuriating. i caused poor noelle a LOT of grief with those and i feel bad.

SPEAKING OF NOELLE!! the scene where she and kris are walking through the puzzle, the one that spells "december", and she's talking about when they were kids, how she loved sneaking out? beautiful. the cinnamon tography <3 also i guessed dess's full name was december a while ago and while i guess it was obvious, it's nice to have that confirmed!

also, i love that susie and ralsei are real friends in this chapter! he taught her a healing spell!!

ugh. fucking berdly. so smug and pretentious. i love queen's desire to be as far away from him as possible though

i also like his backstory. it gives his behavior, even if it's still annoying, at least some context. i get the feeling of feeling like if you're not smart, people will forget about you, and that's scary.

ALSO ALSO. GAMER BERDLY. LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT IS PERFECT. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GAMER!" "i only play mobile games, berdly." "NOOOOOO!" like i ADORE that

anyways. time for me to talk about the only thing that matters in this world: suselle. i mean, did the gays win in this chapter or DID THE GAYS WIN IN THIS CHAPTER?? THEY RODE A HEART-COVERED FERRIS WHEEL AND HAD A HEARTFELT, TENSION-FILLED CONVERSATION!

"did you ever wonder why the real susie never picked on you? well, maybe it's because... when you were both new to class, you lent her one of your pencils, like... maybe a dumb one with candy canes on it or something, and... even though it didn't actually taste like candy, she... remembered your smile." okay god thanks toby it's not like i needed my heart or anything

SERIOUSLY. TOBY "i'm gonna give the gays everything they want" FOX IS BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER LADS

QUEEN'S BOSS BATTLE! ACTUALLY TOUGH, UNLIKE KING'S! AND GIGA QUEEN! I'M GOING INSANE THAT WAS SO SICK AND SO HARD

the way my heart BROKE when lancer turned to stone good god thank GOD our boy's okay

AND ROUXLS KAARD IN HIS PIRATE DUCK!! WITH HIS LITTLE HAT! DEMANDING THE QUEEN MAKE HIM BUTLER SUPREMETH! I LOVE HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF

also!! kris and ralsei's little moment on the swan boat���� i wasn't a kralsei shipper before but uh... that may be starting to change

it's hard because ralsei's still suspicious but at the same time i love him and want him to be happy. i don't know how to feel

also, if darkners outside of their dark worlds turn to stone after a while, why didn't ralsei? that's, uhhh... VERY sus. very weird. mr fox i need ANSWERS

WE FINALLY HAVE A WAY TO SAVE AFTER WE'VE FINISHED MOST OF THE EPILOGUE LADS. REJOICE!!

seriously the thing that peeved me about ch1 was that the last save point was on the battle stage and if i wanted to play the epilogue again, i had to. do that entire battle all over. BUT NOW THAT'S BEEN FIXED!!

UNDYNE AND ALPHYS HAVE MET UNDYNE AND ALPHYS HAVE MET THIS IS NOT A DRILL UNDYNE GAVE HER A BOX OF CANDIES EVERYBODY SHUT UP THEY'RE IN LOVE ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD

ALSO! NEAR THE BEGINNING! I FORGOT TO MENTION THE LITTLE WHITE DOG DOING DONUTS IN A TOY RACE CAR AND BACKING UP TRAFFIC! THANK YOU LITTLE WHITE DOG!

on that note: "looks like a car. this one has a man in it. he waves at you happily." AND THEN THE MAN'S GONE??? HEY TOBY???

ALSO. THE SEGMENT WHERE THE ANNOYING DOG HELPS US FIND THE KEY THROUGH THE POWER OF WANTON DESTRUCTION. THE BEST PLOT DEVICE!

TORIEL TEACHING SUSIE TO MAKE PIE STOP ITTTTT

and yes yes i KNOW kris slashed toriel's tires. that was extremely troubling. but THEY MADE PIE TOGETHER!!

"leave the chalk alone, kris" TORIEL!!

sans and toriel making egg puns and asgore running in and going "don't forget me, your eggs-husband!" is the FUNNIEST sitcom moment type thing ever. GOD.

on the other hand sans let me meet your brother god dammit i'll kill you

METTATONNNNNNN

RUDY... "who got you these flowers?" "is it weird for a married man to get flowers?" "so your wife did?" "oh, no! kris's dad did!" "...not even gonna try to understand this..." TOBY STOP ITTTT YOU'RE GIVING THE ASGORUDY SHIPPERS FALSE HOPE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE JUST GONNA KILL RUDY. YOU'RE JUST RUBBING SALT IN THE WOUND!

NUBERT! MY MAN!

seeing kris repeatedly they-themmed by multiple characters makes me so happy <3 poor kid... "college summer vacation when" "you opened the door with your eyes closed. you saw nothing" kris....

KRIS...

fucking. BLACK FOG STORM IN THE LIVING ROOM KRIS STOP IT. HOW'RE THEY GONNA REVEAL THIS WAS INNOCENT? THE KNIFE IN CHAPTER ONE WAS EASY BUT HOW WILL THEY EXPLAIN THIS

the staticy tv appearing in the dark and a toothy smile slowly fading into view in the center and lingering there ominously for far too long >>>>>>> every hollywood horror movie ever god. GOD

snowy and monster kid checking out the red door. implying there's something in there. something that kris knows about. knowing we won't get any more deltarune content for 5+ years does NOT fill me with determination

also. gaster's symbolic theme being mus_smile. and the final image in the game being a smile. god. gaster's COMING lads.

onionsan hears a song at night... a familiar song... memory, perhaps? or maybe a certain... four-note arpeggio that's hidden in a sound test room in undertale? who knows? guess we'll just have to wait for chapters 3/4/5.

this concludes my ramblings for now, but don't get it twisted- this is FAR from the last post i'll make about ch2. this whole chapter was absolutely amazing! brilliant! showstopping!! i'm genuinely soooo super impressed and excited for the chapter 3/4/5 bundle!!!

[entryno17]

For ask game Gaster

Its inevitable

yeah uh. this entire post should probably be under a read more. sorry </3

favorite thing about them -

personally, gaster was what elevated my love for undertale into full blown infatuation. somehow, he manages to appeal to literally every stupid thing that i love. he’s absolutely my favorite character in the game that’s not a character in the game. (papyrus is my favorite character, but gaster is my favorite non-character, you see.) i’ve basically always had a fascination for strange things in technology, starting at age 4 when i played my first video game. with access to action replay and all kinds of weird cheat codes, i found myself running into tons of weird glitches and oddities. they were scary, but they were incredible to me. they shattered the veil of immersion and revealed the game’s true nature: it wasn’t magic, it wasn’t real; it was lines of codes strung together. but that didn’t disappoint me—actually, it thrilled me. my interest grew further after discovering video game creepypasta (at a far-too-young age of course lol.) that stuff horrified me, the idea that something organic could be born from lines of code, whether it was an evil murder ghost or just a strange glitch—something about the concept just captured my imagination like nothing else. i’m still in love with the idea; i’m always reading about computer viruses, artificial intelligence, the mechanics of games and programs; anything that captures the strange wonders of technology. unused content in video games is another love of mine because of the unique insight it gives on the development of games. this interest has led me to learn and do so much, from writing simple code and romhacks to inspiring me to develop a game of my own. i don’t think i can explain just how much i love this stuff. SO. imagine how i felt when a certain game (that i already adored) had an entire character literally stuck in the game’s data both in and out of its universe, at the time only accessible through datamining and file editing. even though my first fixation on undertale died out in 2016, gaster has occupied a special place in my mind for all this time. but now that i’m once again obsessed with the game, i think he just is my entire mind at this point? deltarune’s next chapters cannot come out soon enough i'm going insane here

least favorite thing about them - the fact that he managed to dissolve my brain into goo. also that there’s so little content of him in game of course </3

favorite line - wow i get to pick something from his like 3 lines of dialogue!! anyway it’s the quote in my blog’s description, “I LOOK FORWARD / TO CREATING / A NEW FUTURE / WITH YOU.” it’s just... so ominous and exciting. and he’s talking to YOU!

brOTP - alphys probably? they might seem really different from each other at first glance but at heart they’re both just kinda dorky and weird. in my personal pre-core headcanon universe they’re really close—alphys and sans were both his assistants and they were all best buddies basically. alphys has always been really insecure but i think gaster would be good at reassuring her (one thing sans would probably absolutely suck at,) they’d both just be really positive presences in each others life and that idea makes me happy.

OH JEVIL TOO, this would be post-core gaster so like. man i don’t even know. they’d both just be fucking insane together and i love that

OTP - still got nothing. honestly, i don’t ship in general unless there’s really good reason to?? kingdings is kinda cute though, mostly because the name is fucking perfect and amazing it makes me cackle. OH MY GOD i forgot, i saw gaster x jevil referred to as jeviled eggs and just. why are these ship names so fucking good i can’t stand it nOTP - grillster I’M SORRY I JUST DON’T GET IT. no hate at all towards people who like it though, it just doesn’t interest me at all. also sanster because i personally believe gaster is related to him so like....... yeah no. (AND EVEN IF HE WASN’T I’D STILL HATE IT TBH. SRRY.)

random headcanon - gaster’s body is made from coagulated black goop of unknown origin. there could be a skeleton under there, but there’s probably not much of it left, if there is one at all. he has a white turtleneck, but only the neck part. his sweater fused into his body at some point—it’s literally just stuck there and he can’t do anything about it. he doesn’t have legs; the definition of his body terminates just below where his ribcage would be, and everything beyond there is an amorphous pile of goo. he can manifest arms (for hugs), but he usually floats his hands around since it’s easier. when he’s stressed or excited, his body melts a bit. he slithers on the ground like a slug, though he actually can move unnervingly fast? he may or may not leave traces of goo everywhere he goes. it’s horrible.

unpopular opinion - alright this is my hottest take in the entire undertale fandom: dadster is GARBAGE. grandpaster is clearly superior. i KNOW you fuckers just want to draw gaster as a hot dad BUT HE’S AN OLD SLIMY PILE OF BONES. YOU CAN’T CHANGE MY MIND. (YOU COULD JUST DRAW HIM AS A SEXY OLD SLIMY PILE OF BONES. IF YOU WEREN'T ALL COWARDS.)

song i associate with them - umm i can’t actually think of anything. maybe tout petit moineau - igorrr??? mostly putting it here bc it’s just one of my favorite songs like ever LMAO. it’s just very haunting, and the absolute chaos it further falls into with each passing moment is so incredible.

maybe also database batadase - gangpol und mit??? this association is even MORE nonexistent but fuck you i can do whatever i want. i associate gaster with synthesized voices in general and i really like this song. yeah that’s it.

favorite picture of them - GASTER ON THE UNDERTALE VINYL SET.

THIS IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL GASTER ART ASIDE FROM HIS SPRITE AND HE’S FUCKING ADORABLE

i still can’t believe i actually own this thing LMAO. as far as i know, he’s only on the cover if you preordered on the day of undertale’s anniversary which i happened to do. although the second set of prints haven’t been shipped yet??—he’s been removed from the boxart on fangamer’s website so there’s honestly a fair chance that he’s not going to be on those copies at all... if so, jesus christ i’m lucky. i can sleep so much more comfortably knowing that he is haunting my room.

[leviathiane]

something you learned this year, fics you wanted to write but didn’t, a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read, favorite fandom to read fic from this year

Shbfjxbfnc finally an ask meme that doesn’t got me rushing to figure out what emoji/number is what.. love u bitch....💫

Something I learned this year It’s.... embarrassing, but,,,, How To Bookmark On AO3. I literally. Spent the past few years not understanding it and as such bookmarking almost nothing. It took me writing my own stuff and watching people bookmark it to finally figure it out and I still forget it’s a real function (same with kudos... i still 90% of the time forget kudos exist and i can, in fact, leave them with literally 0 repurcussions)

Fics I wanted to write but didn’t oh you asked the worst question this is going to take a while ☠️ not including WIPs I picked up and either forgot or just having finished, there’s about 12 I flat out never got to and 7 I will EVENTUALLY get to that haven’t been started

The 12 in order(new to old, literally reading off my prompts doc) (with probably increasingly confusing short summaries):

-Angel!Ace post-marineford au (ASL centric)

-Awakened-DF!Marco, marineford canon divergent

-Shanks and the mystery of a blue bird who takes really good care of his skin, apparently

-Shanks finds Marco on a marine ship in chains and just kinda is like... mine now

-Pianist!Ace modern!au first meeting the Whitebeards (based off that one tumblr post about someone slipping piano requests under an apartment door)

-A series of sabo meeting the whitebeards while “undercover” to the point where he’s a common story among commanders every time there’s shore leave but no one connects him to Ace

-Canon divergent where sabo was picked up by marines instead of by dragon after losing his memories

-A series of outsider-POV to ASL antics in which ace survived marineford and they all visit each other to spar and hang out at the expense of literally everyone else

-Nsfw 3-parter between shanks, buggy, Mihawk, and Marco

-Post-marineford Marco And shanks dealing with immortality and the things we are forced to leave and are left behind by (nsfw ending) (...will probably still do this one anyway. It nags at me a lot and I have Emotions)

-A marcoace to do with mating dances and extended flight metaphors ahdbdjfnjdnf don’t @ me

-Canon divergent where instead of dying corazon pulled a sabo but became a marine again, memories gone, and trying to catch law gives him a migraine for more than one reason. law is along for the ride and traumatized.

A fic I read this year that I would recommend to everyone gah just... one? Just one? One fic? This is impossible. I’m not even gonna entertain that, have 3 and thats pushing it.

Labyrinths of the Heart by izabellwit - I was in this fandom for as long as it took to read this fic. Full of hopelessness and dark themes, self hate turned poisonously outward, slow mental health related haractet development. A Gen fic excluding canon ships, 200k+ and worth it. I cried over this fic probably every chapter if I’m being honest

Blue by kurikuri - KNY is a little too fresh of a fandom to have 100k+ fic classics just yet but this one made me reread a couple times within a month tbh.. full of complex feelings and hesitation, time travel mixed with trauma and grief both + a canon divergence hat throw everything sideways a lil. Very soft

Trapped in eternity by skyleaf19 - I think this one is already on my OP Friday fic rec list but I think about her a lot and the raw pain and slow descent into trauma from ace looping the last years of his life and losing everyone he loves over and over always gets me. I get .. concerningly excited reading this fic even the fourth and fifth time ahfbjfjcnd

Favorite fandom to read fic from this year oh this one is easy jshfushfifj it’s the One Piece fandom! So far in 2019 I’ve sifted throgh BNHA, one punch man, natsume yuujincho, KNY, deltarune, Sherlock, Merlin, Hannibal, teen wolf, supernatural, Pokémon, FMA, titanfall, DBH, legend of Zelda, mob psycho 100, rise of the guardians, undertale, and marvel (into the spider verse, Spider-Man, avengers, loki-centric, etc) fandoms for new content but, OP being one of my oldest fandoms both in terms of me being connected to it as well as objective age, there’s a whole gold mine of fics that I found much easier to navigate at a frankly startling speed lmfao. It’s been great! I literally, for one of the first times, can’t seem to run out of new AND old content

[bigloquatthoughts]

Thoughts While I Watch The Nintendo Direct A Day Late

Thoughts on the Nintendo Direct: Yoko Toro is an interesting person, that card game looks interesting but Y wouldn’t I just play Talisman? Cool to see more isometric RPGS on switch.

Hyrule Warriors is fun! Age of Calamity is where I really fell in love with the musou formula again - I played a LOT of DW Empires 5, so taking over a map / doing stuff on a map before combat is fun. The silly weapons like the broom etc also make this really fun. I’ll gladly play more of this. the new scientist warrior looks sick! Who asked for Chocobo GP? This looks like Garfield Racing re-skinned and with better physics maybe. When they said Chocoboooooo! I was hoping for a Chocobo’s Dungeon. My buddy Ted got that game with his PS1 and we though it was soooo cool, especially after playing Azure Dreams on Gameboy.

Thanks for telling us when we can see the new Smash Fighter which is probably more Sword boy / Sword gorl why won’t you put any interesting fighters in this game I am moving to Smash Bros CatDog Edition. Kirby washing up on an island is the most unlikely thing for a being who summons giant warp stars to fly through the universe on but okay. this looks INCREDIBLE. Kirby + Nier vibes with the busted up environment. what bums me out is that we saw the same enemy like, 10 times in the first 10 seconds of that one area. The giant snakes / fish are cool, but lets see some more variation maybe 3D Kirby boss fights look pretty freaking fun! 3D Kirby looks pretty great. It will suffer from Kirby things and also be fun. I will play it.

Hey, don’t worry. We’ll tell you some things about Animal Crossing in October. Not now - but in October. U will have content in November. Just hold on pls, be on the lookout for all ur rotten turnips in ur house

Lets move on, to more stuff second free update for Mario golf, which I would LOVE to play but can’t afford rn. I played it at my neighbors the other day and it’s pretty damn good. new courses and seeing little ninji run around will be very fun. Cool, kid Disney game. Dope. Old Republic for Switch looks great! Dying Light 2: Mirrors Edge edition. Oh, we can play with other people? That seems fun. Do we scavenge together? The Control cloud game demo felt okay on my wifi, but IDK about these cloud games as something worth getting on the switch when PC’s are a thing?

Triangle strategy looks dumb, Disgea does that shit better now right? Metroid Dread looks really cool, excited to run from big robot and make Samus Very Strong Hopefully u get to crawl around as big robot at some point in the game. Love the lore dump we get. Dude, Chozo were here! That’s sick!

Many people have been using switch online… Oh, giving out their old roms gathering dust for “free,” with their current sub was too generous for Nintendo I suppose. New plan for N64 games seem sick - the playing together online thing is very cool. Starting library is standard but nothing too exciting. Very excited to see how the emulation handles these games in relation to how they behaved on the console, as all the cool sped running shit we see in these sorts of older games vary depending on the version of the game.

I’m more excited about the Genesis line up than I am about the N64 one, save those two games I don’t recognize. We get Castlevania, a Contra, some puyo, Beatem ups, and playing this version of Gunstar Heroes might sell more of the other one. Expansion Pack is a name.

Notice how Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and Comix Zone are not on these lists? They are too afraid to give us the best of what both platforms have to offer and it’s a shame.

WIRELESS CONTROLLERS FOR $60 EACH? ARE THEY BLUETOOTH SO I CAN USE THEM WITH OTHER STUFF? WTF

I was just talking to my friends about the Shadowrun Isometric RPGs last night! Cool. Castlevania collection looks dope. Button mapping is huuuuge for me. Love that. An Almighty Classic Returns: Actraiser - even the SNES game was hella off my radar, this looks dope. I’m down to side scroll and then town build. Deltarune + Homestuck are games that I really really want to play but my depression is such that I just sit and stare at the starting screen and nothing happens. One day I will consume Toby’s works and be better for it. But until then, I’ll just be excited for my friends and listen to the baller soundtrack. god dammit I love that dog.

new story of seasons looks cool but Natsume is dead, no hope left cept for Stardew #doomer NAMCO Hamster - yes. Rune Factory 5 might be good on the switch. The 3DS versions were sooooo sloooowwwww for me. I’ve heard really good things about the franchise as a whole though. MARIO movie thoughts: THIS CASTING IS GREAT EXCEPT FOR CHRIS PRATT WTF. WHY IS HIMBO WHO HATES GAYS MY MARIO?

CHARLIE DAY AS LUIGI WAS WRITTEN IN THE FUCKING STARS EXCEPT HIS SHORTER THAN FUCKIN CHRIS PRATT, HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU MESS THIS UP. CHARLIE DAY AS MARIO AND CHRIS PRATT AS LUIGI BECAUSE HE BUSTS GHOSTS WHICH IS SUPER THEOLOGICAL ANYWAY GOD DAMN DUDE. THIS ISN’T THAT HARD.

KEEGAN MICHAEL KEY AS FUCKIN TOAD MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THAT.

JACK BLACK AS BOWSER - WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER MARIO BUT ANYTHING THIS MAN TOUCHES IS GOLD.

Movie is saved by Seth Rogan, I bet you 1 full bitcoin that DK saves this fuckin movie.

FRED ARMISEN AS CRANKY KONG IS ACTUALLY PERFECT. He is a real life hipster Cranky Kong and I love it. Dude playing Kamek looks familiar? Who is that

After seeing Wreck it Ralph, doesn’t Mario sound more like a Kenneth the Page than a Starlord? IDK man. Boomers are weird. Splatoon 3 looks cool, bummer it’s still 4v4 but whatever. the story mode for 1 and 2 were great aside from the difficulty spikes. stoked.

THE WAY THAT BAYONETTA IS REVEALED IS ONE PUNCH MAN TIER COMEDY.

Also, ya’ll spoiled it for us with the capcom font.

WAIT A GLOVED HAND PUNCHED, NOT A DEMON HAND? YOOOOO MOMMYYYYYYY THIS HAIR.

YOOO BUTTERFLY SHIT HELL YEAH

THERE IS MY BIG HAIR DEMON YES OH SHIT WE GET TO MEGA ZORD FIGHT WITH OUR DEMON?! THIS IS FUCKIN SICK

OH DIFFERENT DEMONS TO FIGHT WITH THIS IS SICK. THIS IS HOW I WANT POKEMON TO PLAY. 100% NOT JOKING. BAYONETTA: GODZILLA EDITION

HOLY SHIT THAT IS TIGHT

UHHHH IS DANTE GONNA BE IN THIS

WHO IS THAT BOI WITH THE SWORD

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Alright. There have been better directs, Christmas line up is looking p weak so far. Hopefully they can give us some bangers for holiday.

[smells-like-mettaton]

OH BOY I LOVE MAKING FIC REC LISTS. Notes are anything I've added about what I like about the fic. Under the cut because it's long! I've got gen stuff for Dreemurrs, Deltarune, and other misc. Undertale fics. If there is an asterisk* before a title, it means the fic is an incomplete multichapter. Most recs are either oneshots or short complete multichapters. (A few of the fics are mine so I hope that is not pretentious!!)

Dreemurr Fics:

I Don't Know How to Tell You This by CoramDeo

Summary: It's been two years since the barrier was broken, and a month since Frisk and Chara settled into their new arrangement of sharing control of their body. But neither of their parents have been told that Chara is even alive, much less using Frisk's body. Can Chara work up the courage to finally reveal their presence to Toriel and Asgore? Notes: Great friendship and family content! Chara POV

Umurangi by CourierNew

Summary: Asriel comes home. Notes: Spooky Deltarune Asriel fic. I've probably recced this before but it's got great vibes

Flower to flower communication. Flower to flower conversation. by YetAnotherPersona

Summary: During one of his early timelines, Flowey discovers an echo flower in Waterfall containing a very old message. Notes: Not exactly Chara and Asriel, but Flowey and lots of memories of Chara, so I think that's pretty close. Very very well done, manages to both hurt and be funny at parts. I'm sure I've recced this before too.

*Maybe I'm Just a Dreamer by @exciting-snail-fact

Summary: For the first time that day, Undyne's spine tingled with fear. She growled softly, trying to get the emotion to leave her. As Asgore approached, she was paralyzed with terror. She was trapped, stuck, weak, helpless. (A character study of Undyne, throughout the years.) Notes: Undyne-centric, but deals so much with Asgore adopting Undyne that I think it belongs in this section. I truncated the summary a bit so it wouldn't be an intimidating block of text. Does have some mild Alphyne in it. Anyway stan this fic stan Undyne etc.

kill the party with me by shizuoh

Summary: (truncated) chara can draw frisk well enough, but after years of sharing the same body... trying to remember what they looked like before is getting harder and harder. Notes: Chara POV good angst/hurt/comfort stuff.

Fear No Longer by Taliax (me!)

Summary: "Fearing the humans no longer, we moved out of our old city, HOME." -Snowdin librarby book / Chara and Asriel eavesdrop on their parents' conversation. Notes: Very short. Has all the Dreemurrs though and they are happy

Innocent Blood by Taliax

Summary: Chara and Asriel pick raspberries. Notes: Even shorter. Maybe I should have put all the short fics in their own section. Anyway its just a small moment between siblings and Chara is dramatic

Prune, Graft, Bloom Again by Taliax

Summary: Maybe if Flowey and Asgore tell Frisk enough embarrassing stories about Chara, they'll come back. Notes: They are family your honor. Post-pacifist

Deltarune Fics:

Clear Browsing Data by @neitherlightnordark

Summary: noelle can't sleep one night, so she goes downstairs, to her family computer. it's practiced, it's almost trancelike... it's so dark... or: queen sees you when you're sleeping queen knows when you're awake queen knows if y Notes: Norrie write the best Queen I swear. Please read all of norrie's fics actually. Also norrie if youre reading this please please crosspost to ao3 more often it is way easier for me to link to there than to dig through tumblr posts

so why are you here, at the top, with me? by neitherlightnordark

Summary: [[it burns! ow! stop! help me! it burns!]] or: god i really want to write about family game nights in queen's mansion someday it would be so funny Notes: The interactions between Spamton and Queen are so interesting. More excellent Queen characterization of course.

*the sock and the buskin by neitherlightnordark

Summary: castle town is growing every day, the three heroes' destiny is unerringly on track, and cyber world's citizens are adjusting without loud complaint to their new world. or: seam and queen know the rules of this game. when their opponent's resolve reaches 0, they lose. Notes: Yes I know I have recced so many of norrie's fics yes I will continue to do so. This one focuses on Seam and Queen and has Ralsei too. Also Tasque Manager :D

guide vocal by Aisu

Summary: Spamton may have it all made, but he won't rest until he ensures he has all the info he needs to stay on top. And when he asks his source for more, they're all too happy to provide. Notes: a Spamton downfall fic. I read too many similar fics recently so I don't have specific notes but it was good enough for me to bookmark

TRIPTYCH by johnchurch

Summary: (truncated) She looks at the photo of her family, burns their faces into her memory. To herself, she says "don't forget them," a stern reminder, a whisper etched white-on-black. To them, she prays "don't forget me." / Or, the disappearance of one December Holiday, in three parts. Notes: The vibes. the viiiiiibes. Really good. Anything by johnchurch is really good actually.

half a world away by exciting-snail-fact

Summary: Kris and Susie hang out next to an empty restaurant at one AM like normal teenagers. Notes: REALLY fun and unique headcanons about the relationship between Kris and the soul.

hero's beloved by distanceseventeen

Summary: Ralsei knows the entity inside Kris is fond of him. This doesn't comfort him nearly as much as he wishes it does. Notes: Technically the third in a series but I can't remember if I read the previous works. I think I read this one first regardless and it was great.

Won't Wash Out by Taliax (me)

Summary: Plastic snaps in Kris's hand, staining their skin electric blue. / Huh. Not too strong to break after all. Notes: Set shortly after Dess's disappearance; Noelle & Kris friendship.

ButJuice by Taliax

Other Undertale Gen Fics:

My Big Fat Fish Holiday Party by andreabandrea

Summary: A local lesbian, Undyne, asks Papyrus to be her Fake Heterosexual Date for Mama Fish's annual non-specific holiday bash. Things go wrong. Sans is there. You may be wondering why this is tagged as Bill Clinton. Notes: One of the funniest fics I have ever read in my life. Trust me please
