Tag Fact #3 - I’ve come to realize I’ve always been a fan artist more than I thought. so here is a timeline of influences that shaped my childhood to now. from nostalgic times, to sad changes, to great loss, to strange rises to fame and phases, to stepping stones and finally a laughing place. all the things that make up your favorite fan artist Tag.

1. Rayman (bumped into this in the year of 1999) was actually the first fandom (with crossovers) I bumped into when I was 9. although the internet wasn’t available at the time it was still fun to dwell in home amusements. I remember the storylines and the OC’s I made but they’re kind of embarrassing and it’s probably a good thing there was no internet. I’ve done fanart and comic crossovers of Rayman with Calvin and Hobbs and Nights Into Dreams, spinoffs of Sonic the Hedgehog OC’s, Yoshi with Pikachu, and the Pokemon/Digimon craze with OC’s and other Nintendo comic shorts. but the drawings and comics are long gone and disappeared in the garage in a backpack due to suspecting my sister’s dad accidentally throwing them away. years later towards the year 2018 (now 28), we decided to move to North Carolina and it was my chance to find them again. unfortunately the backpack was gone just like I suspected (my main stuff), but for some reason I found my Pokemon/Digimon fanart, a good batch of Super Mario drawings (vaguely remember doing these), my sister’s drawings and some other neighborhood kids’ drawings in a dirty box. I was partially happy I found something at least but it was the backpack I wanted the most. sometimes I regret not looking for the backpack (’cause I was too busy being a kid) but it’s alright, noone needs to see that shit anyway, ha ha. anyways, I recall being a fan of Rayman from 1999 ‘til 2002.

2. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (bumped into this in the year of 2003) my second fandom I bumped into when I was 12 going on 13. at the time, my sister and I both liked the Sonic The Hedgehog Franchise based on the Battle remake and ended up making our own secret fanart club that consisted of only us two members. she liked Sonic (and that was her boyfriend, ha ha) and I liked Knuckles (and he was my boyfriend, ha ha) and we were crazy in love about Shadow’s backstory. we listened to the game’s soundtracks as we drew fanart and comics after school and man, those were good times. however, as we grew older towards the year of 2005, we ended up having separate rooms and I believe it played a part in disconnecting on the same interest. then one day, I asked her why she wasn’t into Sonic anymore and she replied, “Because I grew up.” I was sad after that and slowly observed that she was influenced by the emo culture and the new friends she’s made. I was the only member of our little club for a little longer...but eventually I moved on too. I still have some surviving fanart we did together but it doesn’t mean shit anymore since she turned out to be an abusive mother from the last I’ve heard of her.

3. Gorillaz (bumped into this in the year of 2006). as the Sonic years were at its end, I first heard the song “Feel Good Inc” on Music Choice and seeing the first image of them as displayed on this post (except the fan-made background doesn’t count since I can’t find the original artwork). this was my third fandom and later had proper access to the internet to the website I still currently use called DeviantArt. at first I liked 2D but eventually fell for Murdoc and developed a spiritual connection towards the character as obviously seen in my old fanart and rare photos of my devotion shrines on Valentine’s Day and his birthday every year. for the longest time since being a permanent fan from 2006-2017 (11 1/2 years) I had no knowledge that it was a political propaganda band and other realizations I don’t want to talk about. I only followed them because it was a cartoon and not the bullshit behind the musical project. the world I’ve built and support for them for all those 11 1/2 years shattered the fuck out of me and I just wanted to be left alone to find myself again, somehow. activity stopped on all my profiles, the flow of fanart stopped since I now cringe from the fan service and felt I was used for my talent. I didn’t want to be reminded of it all so I took down all my Gorillaz fanart and archived them for old followers’ nostalgia but also in the hopes they’ll be forgotten in my timeline. I ceased to exist in the fandom for huge personal reasons but it’s best to not say why. I know for sure that the fandom wonders what happened but it’s none of their business. THE END.

4. Waluigi (although I knew he’s been around since 2000 during childhood, I took deep interest once I revisited the character again in the year of December 2013). as silly as this sounds, when I revisited him again, the character was so bizarre that I ended up staying up 3 nights and 3 days in a row just looking all over the internet on everything about him and the questionable “hush-hush” absence of a backstory. despite there being no backstory he slowly gained a cult following and in many ways it’s a good thing. however, since the early 2010′s tension has been building up between Nintendo and its fans about him starring in a main game but everyone hasn’t fully gotten it in their heads that it’s not gonna happen. as long as Nintendo is in control of that, the fandom will not win, I’m sorry to say. on the other hand, if it’s going to be this way, then that’s what fanart and comic projects are for. as for me, I am doing my very best to get my comic project “Waluigi Land” going. again, I apologize if it’s taking very long to get Chapter 2 going if you’ve been keeping track but aha moments need to develop before I start permanent drawing (since concepts, character design and storyline needed improvement badly). as of right now I am still a Waluigi fan and I will not quit on him.

5. Turbo from Wreck-It-Ralph (although it debuted in 2012, I watched the movie two years later into the year 2014). for some bizarro reason, I had an unhealthy obsession with this character to the point where I dressed up as him for Halloween 2014. only 2 fanarts of him and the Turbo Twins exist on my profiles, mainly because my mind was more focused on just ‘thinking about him’ or ‘being him’ rather than drawing physical drawings. luckily, this supposed alleged fandom didn’t last long a little after Halloween so I chalk it up as a very short phase. to this day I don’t know what has gotten over me about him. the only thing I can think of now is that I think it’s because the character had yellow eyes and teeth but I don’t know. now that I think of it, that little fucker was ugly as hell and I STILL don’t know what had gotten over me. one day, my brother mentioned what that was about, and I said to him, “I don’t wanna talk about it.”

6. Undertale (although it debuted in 2015, I later took interest in it in 2016). It was all about Sans and Papyrus. I couldn’t get enough of the skeleton bros. eventually Toriel and Mettaton EX became my favorites but it took a long time to draw more of all 4 of them because I had other important things to do in my life plus I was still waiting for the next Gorillaz album to revive my imaginative juices (or so I thought). I really want to have this as one of my frequent fandoms but I just don’t have time for it anymore. it’s still in the back of my head to want to draw them but at this point I still have other better interests to be in. and besides, I’m lazy just like Sans.

7. Cuphead (June 28th, 2017 was the official day I called quits on the British-based band Gorillaz due to the bullshit behind it. since that date I was lost, had no inspiration to look forward to and no cartoon guy to make me smile...but lo and behold of the same year, I took an interest in playing the game Cuphead and man...that shit was a frightening exaggerated metaphor for being on that one drug (forgot the name though) and having sex at the same time but man that was the best fun I’ve had in years. I mean, it’s like, enemies are just so happy to murder you and that scared the shit outta me. and the facial exaggeration?....I think I should stop, ha ha. anyways, the Moldenhauers saved my ass from spiraling down, they have no clue. anyways, eventually I became a permanent fan of their work so to ease the hurt and erase my past from the G-fandom I had to re-wire my brain into a different cartoon category that’s a rather more American, so anything Toon related like Roger Rabbit, Felix the Cat or another favorite that’s a western-based cartoon makes me feel better, especially my new man .......King Dice <3 <3<3<3. however, there was something about this new fandom category I still didn’t quite understand until the date March 14th, 2020. I finally understood what it was but I feel I shouldn’t bring it up. anyways, Cuphead and anything western or rubber hose is my last stop in inspiration for the remaining years of my life. many say never say never but I believe I’ve found my laughing place and that’s all that matters.

do the even numbers for the vg ask binch

BINCH

Video Game Asks!

2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.answered!

4. Who do you play with now?Who? Like my friends? Mostly the same people I played with when I was a kid, but now they’ve grown up into ripe gaming fruits. And some new friends who I met through love of video games *stares directly into camera*

6. Ever buy strategy guides?No. I’d rather spend money on the game itself. I see the pretty art books often and wonder though…

8. Rarest/Most expensive game in your collection?uH. What? Rarest? I don’t have any of those classic games that are worth a fortune now. Most expensive was probably the Dishonored 2 bundle that I bought because I wanted Corvo’s mask super bad

10. Ever go to a midnight game release or stand in line for hours?

I have not! I usually pre-order using the internet and try to distract myself until I can feel the game with my fingers

12. Ever get picked on for liking games?Wheeeen I was younger, yes. I stopped playing for a little while, even though I was not any good at the time anyway. I didn’t pick it back up again until the middle of high school when I stopped caring.

14. Favorite game music?I… really like the Journey and Undertale Soundtrack. However, Kingdom Hearts and Nier: a tomato have been my… main music go-tos .In fact, I’m listening to the Nier ost right now.

16. Favorite game to play with your friends IRL?Answered!

18. Would you date someone that hates gaming?No. Bitch. Worst-case scenario they “tolerate” it. Just kidding, NO that’s impossible. Worst case is they’re indifferent. And in that case, they’d have to be pretty darn spectacular. Like they own Disneyland spectacular. Trust me.

20. Game that you know like the back of your hand?BIOSHOCK. I can tell you where every audio diary is. And every ridiculous jump scare. I also could say the same about Nier, but that’s a little too recent, so the obsession is still fresh.

22. Do you wear game related clothing/accessories?I have a Fallout t-shirt, Kingdom Hearts Sweater, some lovely Nier pins, and a 2B phone charm accessory. I love game merch, I just am a bit picky on which ones I wear.

24. First Pokemon game?It was actually Yellow. I never got Red and/or Blue.

26. Ever form any gaming rivalries?I don’t like those, but literally Pokemon Go sets them up by making you pick teams and publicly fight the other teams down.

28. Ever play in a tournament?nOpe I’m not that good. I watch a lot of tournaments though.

30. How many consoles do you own?Uhh, since forever? I would say 8. However, the only active ones right now are my ps4 and Switch. Everything else is stored away in the closet or was given away.

32. Did you ever play a game based on your favorite show/cartoon/movie/comic?Not. Really. No. I don’t really love those. One time I got Narnia as a gift and cried at how bad it was. And then there was Shrek Party?? Which was a depressing version of Mario party, but with Shrek characters. I liked it… actually. If it were done well, maybe?

34. Do either of your parents play video games?My mother plays pokemon go and is level 40, which is higher than me. And it’s kind of made her more open to the idea of playing video games. But my mom knows the basics of certain video games enough to not get mad at me when I tell her I can’t pause.

36. Have you ever shed actual blood, sweat or tears over a game?I have cried over a few video games. Not full on crying, but my eyes will water and that’s pretty wild. Sweat is all over my controllers. I clutch them so hard. I was also very emotionally compromised over The Last of Us, but it was mostly internal.

oHH! One time I was playing Battleborn and got a nosebleed, but I’m pretty sure that was on account of the weather and not the game.

38. A game you’re ashamed to admit that you like?I have no shame at all whatsoever in any game that I like. I guess Fable, 2 and 3 were absolutely awful according to everyone, but I thought they were alright, mostly because it made me think of the first game.

40. What to you think of virtual reality headsets or motion controls?I think they’re fun! But am sad that they probably won’t be able to reach their full potential in my house.

42. Maybe it wasn’t your first game, but what was the game that started you on your path to nerdiness?…Bioshock tbh. That was the first game I legitimately played after stopping gaming for an awfully long time. The one that started it all. Kingdom Hearts and Bioshock. Two completely different games.

44. Arcade machine that has consumed the most of your quarters?I never really played arcade games? Soul Calibur? DDR??

46. Do you like relaxing games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon?YES THOSE ARE LIKE MY FAVORITE TYPES OF GAMES!!??!? I can seduce Harvest Moon characters all the ding dang day. And I can fish for hours. Fishing mechanics are vital in every game.

48. How long does it take your to customize your player character?84 years. In all honestly, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the options that are available. Dragon Age took so… so long. Basically any game with the objective of making your character look cooler is… dEATH

50. If you were a game designer, what masterpiece would you create?Answered!

52. A game that you begged your parents for as a kid?Pokemon Y

54. Do you give in to Steam sales?I use my friend’s steam and he has like 2000 dollars worth of games, so I’d say he definitely does.

56. Did you ever play Roller Coaster Tycoon and kill off your guests?I never played that game, but I remember quality video compilations of that.

58. If you can only play 3 games for the rest of your life, which ones do you pick?Answered!

60. Do you know the Konami Code?It’s like a bunch of directional buttons, but idk which ones.

62. Ever buy a console specifically to play one game?I bought a gosh darn PS3 like 10 years ago because I thought KH3 was going to come out for that. Now here with are the PS4 pro and KH3 will be out in a year.

64. Ever make a TV or monitor purchase based on what would be best for gaming?I have! Or I mean it was a family TV anyways, but I sneakily snuck in a question or two about gaming quality and the guy hooked me up.

66. Did you ever have have an old Nokia with Snake on it?No. I didn’t have a legit cellphone until after high school.

68. Ever save up a ton of tickets in an arcade to get something cool?LOL no I’m so bad at those, I spend all my tickets immediately on the dumbest thing I can find like those finger traps.

70. Very first game you ever beat? I want to say Fable. As a kid I didn’t know what a memory card was and sort of assumed you had to start over every single time.

No One is As They Seem- An Analysis of Undertale’s Ruins

It’s no secret that Undertale is one of the most popular games of the last decade. It’s touched hearts, touched lives, and made fans all over the world recontextualize their understanding of what it means to play a video game. As anyone who has played the game will tell you, the reasons for this can only be gleaned by actually playing the game, so go ahead and buy it on steam for $10 and make your life a little bit more meaningful. This post will only cover the first area of the game, the Ruins, so you’ll be able to understand it even without playing, but I still recommend you play the game before reading. This piece is, at its most basic, an analysis of this area and how Toby Fox uses all the (free) tools at his disposal to create atmosphere in his game. The very first thing that stood out to me about Undertale as soon as I booted it up was the cheery chiptune soundtrack. Though the first three notes of the melody are simple, an octave up followed by a fifth down, we already hear dissonance creeping into the accompaniment with dissonant harmonies. These first few moments were far too subtle for me to notice on my first trek through the game, but in retrospect I see that the connection between the broader themes of the game and the musical choices is too spot on to be a coincidence, namely that people are not always as they seem. The melody established in this first number, called the “Undertale” theme by most, is elaborated on and experimented with throughout the rest of the game, but its theme is most often used at safe zones, or anywhere that feels like home. The brief introduction introduces you to the War Between Monsters and Humans, and explains that your character has fallen down a mountain into the Monster World. After this, you are escorted to the menu, where you name your character and, after a slightly unsettling transition, begin the game. You gain control of your character and are greeted by pixel graphics and utter silence. Past a hallway, you encounter a door, and a happy looking flower named “Flowey the Flower.” Immediately, super chipper music kicks in to let you know “Don’t worry, this guy is super nice and cool!” The theme is set in a major key, high above where music usually is played, to emphasize this. The theme also directly references the F.U.N. song from Spongebob, as if to further drive this point home. All seems to be going well until… well, until Flowey tries to kill you. The happy music is replaced with silence and aggressive text scrolling noises as Flowey laughs at your imminent death. Just as all hope is lost, though, you’re saved by the anthropomorphic goat Toriel, and are greeted with the best theme in the game, Fallen Down. Before we continue, let’s analyze the quick 1-2 punch that’s pulled with the music and character development here. Gamers are used to music playing over just about everything in an RPG, so its absence through the first room of the game is noticeable, or at least was to me. The silence is uncomfortable, just as it would be if you were to fall down a hole and wind up in a dark scary place. A talking, smiling flower would be a welcome sight in such a situation, and the music reflects this. Flowey’s betrayal is a gut punch because we’ve been trained, as gamers, to believe that what we’re shown through character design and music is what it seems at face value. In this case, though, the cute flower is evil, and the mildly creepy Goat Mom is on your side. Flowey bucks many trends when he stops his happy theme dead in its tracks and tries to kill you. When Toriel appears to save the day, her theme at first might seem like a trap as well, meant to lull the player into a second twist, but the music tells us otherwise. Whereas Flowey’s theme is obnoxiously cheerful after a while, due to the high tessitura, “Fallen Down” is played in a soothing middle register, with much softer instrumentation and a triple meter. The song is reminiscent of a lullaby, with plenty of repetition at regular intervals to comfort the listener. It is also more fully realized than Flowey’s stark, heavily EQed melody and accompaniment. After this encounter, Toriel leads the protagonist through the beginning of the ruins, where we hear the second most important theme in the game, what I call the “World” theme and ostinato. This theme is repeated and expanded upon throughout every area of the game, with one exception, as detailed in Jason Yu’s Undertale Leitmotif analysis (linked below). When we first hear it, though, all we can tell is that it creates a good deal of mystery. The melody is seemingly always ascending higher and higher, creating an atmosphere of constant anticipation. It creates a great background to explore and solve puzzles against as you navigate your way through the ruins, both with and without Toriel. This is the atmosphere we have throughout the entire first area, with the exception of a few joke tunes (brushing over them for time), and the battle theme, which we’ll get to now. Undertale has a slightly different encounter system than most other Role Playing Games. The gist of it, to wildly simplify things, is that every encounter can be resolved either through combat or through peaceful means. The challenge comes not from the attacking, but from the defending, which takes place in a “Bullet Hell” like screen where your heart must avoid enemy projectiles. The battles are always intense, and the “Enemy Approaching” theme demonstrates this. The tune is brisk, with a good old accent on 2 and 4 from the powerful percussion. It creates a constant feeling of anticipation, keeping you on your toes, ready for anything. This tune, though, is only the generic enemy theme. Boss themes are where things get fun. Your first boss encounter, after plenty of fights with frogs and butterflies, is with a sad ghost named Napstablook. As we’ve covered, no one in Undertale needs to die, and Napstablook is one of the enemies that sold me on that concept. In fact, it’s so hard to even take damage in his fight that the first time I played, I felt bad even thinking about killing him. His personality is so lacking in self-esteem that one would have to be truly heartless to do anything but cheer him up. This was coupled with his theme, “Ghost Fight.” This theme is a jaunty swing number, accentuating the fun of his battle, with a fascinating reverb effect on the off beats. It truly sounds like you’re fighting a sad ghost. As Napstablook does progressively sillier things, one can’t help but smile. After beating Napstablook, the emotional core of the game begins. The player reaches Toriel’s house, at which point she gives him a home, a bed, and some Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie. The music that plays over this sequence, fittingly, is called “Home,” and utilizes the Undertale theme liberally. It is a gentle guitar track, almost like a lullaby. When the player finally goes to bed, the instrumentation changes from guitar to a music box. This instrumentation choice in particular was what struck me most about this moment, and genuinely made me tear up. The gentle nature of the track contrasts sharply with the severity of the moment. It brought to mind what this poor child must be feeling, having been given solace in a foreign land so far away from home. When the player asks her to go home, Toriel becomes agitated and runs to the basement. The music cuts away as the player descends and Toriel expresses her fear and concern for the player’s safety. She decides to seal the Ruins off so that the child can never leave. The only choice is to fight her. Right? Cue “Heartache,” my personal favorite track in the game. The motif of 4 16th notes followed by an 8th is repeated later in the game at another pivotal moment, but for now all the player knows is that things just got crazy intense. Part of this intensity comes from the fact that this is the first track written in compound meter, which immediately ramps up the interest curve for this fight. This track also is the most complex of anything we’ve seen in the game thus, with a virtuosic quality to its rhythms and incredibly quick harmonic motion. The most fascinating part of the track for me is the pseudo-ostinato Toby creates with the low bass tone every beat, almost emulating a heartbeat. This motif carries through the entire song, being present even as the supporting harmonies fly up and down the staff. This song is EPIC, and really makes it seem like Toriel means business now. As has been the case this whole game, though, things are not always as they seem. This fight is a crash course in narrative through gameplay, so let’s talk quickly about something that Toby Fox does to completely mess with the player and make Toriel a fully fleshed out character at the same time. Every enemy up to this point in the game has allowed you to spare them by dropping their HP low enough, and then hitting the yellow “Spare” button. With Toriel, though this is impossible. When you get her to about ¼ hp, your next attack will kill her no matter what. ACTing, which has been the other way to spare enemies in this game, also does nothing to turn the Spare button yellow. As it turns out, the only way to make Toriel sparable is to choose the Spare action repeatedly, until she gives up out of love for the player. Everyone I’ve ever met who played the game blind, including myself, killed Toriel on their first run because we couldn’t think of anything else to do. The plot twist that most of us realized on our second playthroughs is that, despite the epic boss music, Toriel will not attack you if there is any chance of you dying. This is something that triple A game designers might take note of. In Undertale, characterization and gameplay are one and the same. As we can see just from the first area, Undertale is a game that makes no moves lightly. Every choice, be it in the graphics, music, or gameplay, is a conscious choice that adds to the world-building and character development. This aspect of the game is what is so endearing about it, because everything, especially the music, feels like it was made with love. Unlike Wagner’s operas, which use rather heavy handed methodologies to enforce the meanings of their leitmotifs, Undertale’s messages are simpler and subtler, leaving far more room for interpretation while being simultaneously more enjoyable to explore. Those who fail to see video games as a consummate art form need only look to this classic game to see all the ways in which games can express our human condition.

The Monster of Ebott

Here it is guys! The AU no one asked for! But I was having trouble writing so I thought: let’s do something light and fun.

So, remember this AU I briefly talked about? I wrote that with Feralfell characters. Also the song that’s mentioned is ‘Fade Away’, an Undertale fan song by @mandopony . My boyfriend is a big fan of his MLP music and I wanted to use a sad song that’s connected to the fandom, so he seemed like the right choice.

Might put this story up to the Feraltale blog if it does okay. Also, first attempt at writing in third person, leave constructive criticism. Also ILLUSTRATIONS!!!

Enough talk let's GO!

There once was a little orphan child. everybody called them Frisk, because they were always optimistic. They were also always kind, looking down so they wouldn’t step on the pretty flowers, or tiny animals. And every day they would walk through the forest to get to school.

“Don’t go through the woods!” People told them. “Monsters live there! They will trick and hurt you, maybe they will even eat you!”

“Oh, but I’m not scared of monsters.” They would say with a smile, and everyday they got there and back, unharmed. They were always kind to the monsters. So kind in fact, that every time they tried to lead them off the path, stole their bag or teased them, they would end up helping them get back to school whole and safe instead. All because they were so kind that it made them feel bad for bullying them.

One day, a messenger came from the castle.

“A MESSAGE FROM THE KING! THE BEAST OF EBOTT HAS REACHED THE KINGDOM, ALL CIVILIANS: BEWARE THE GIANT MONSTER, STAY OUT OF THE FORESTS! TO ALL YOUNG MAN: HE WHO CAN KILL OR CAPTURE THE BEAST WILL GET HALF THE KINGDOM AND CAN CHOSE TO MARRY THE PRINCESS!”

“See now Frisk?” The people said. “It is dangerous to go into the forest! And now there is a monster there that is even more dangerous!”

Frisk just giggled. “I’m not scared of the monsters.” And through the forest they went.

‘How ridiculous.’ They thought. The king’s oldest child, Chara, was just as genderless of mind as they were! Though maybe, that’s just how desperate the king was to keep his kingdom safe.

Suddenly, they could hear screeches and roars far in the distance. Frisk stopped and looked up, just in time to see a form sail through the sky and land in the middle of the lake with a huge splash. Frisk quickly hurried over to help a panting young man up the shore.

“Good god, it was that monster! The Beast of Ebbot, that devil’s mountain. I was trying to fight it, but then there was this icy cold in my chest. And before I knew it I flew up through the sky and landed here. What kind of demon is that thing?!”

The very next day Frisk was walking to school again, only to once again hear the yelling and snorts of a giant beast. And once more, a young man came falling from the sky. He fell into a treetop and came down with many cries of pain and the crackling of twigs. Frisk just reached the trunk as the man came to a stop, clothes and limbs tangled up in the branches. They helped to pull the man out.

“The monster! The Beast of Ebott! It was horrifying! It felt like he was gonna rip the soul straight from my chest! But then I was suddenly flying through the air, what the hell!?”

The next few days many more young men were thrown around the forest, many times Frisk would find and help them to their feet. But every day people would return with increasingly worse wounds, and after a guy returned with a broken arm and leg, his hair singed off, no one dared to set foot in the forest again.

All except for little Frisk. Always looking down to the floor to avoid stepping on little flowers and creature, listening to the mood of the creatures around them to avoid the powerful newcomer. Even though they weren’t really that scared, they couldn’t help but fret. Even the other monsters in the forest were stressed that something so large and powerful, and apparently ill tempered to boot, was stalking around so close. What if the Beast hurt them before they could be nice to him and show they meant no harm?

They decided to take a little break, sitting on one of the rocks with a jelly sandwich. Hmm, strawberry jam, their favorite.

“Ah! P-please not my head!” A tiny voice squeaked out on the ground. Frisk looked down to see a large flower, a piece of the sticky crust stuck to it’s leaves. It had a cute little face in the middle contorted with disgust and stress, the beginning of tiny tears in it’s beady eyes.

“Oh, I’m so sorry.” Frisk apologized, picking the crust off it’s leaves and taking out a napkin. The flower’s leaves were ripped and had a few holes in them, so they were extra careful as they wiped the smears of jam off, revealing the beautiful gold beneath.

“Thank you,” The flower mumbled. “I’ve had people react worse to me.” They perked up a little bit as it met their eyes. “You were looking like something was bothering you, and you don’t see any other humans in the forest anymore. If you were worrying about Sans finding you, why would you still come here?”

“Who?” Frisk wondered.

“Sans. Uhm, ‘the Beast of Ebott’ I think is what the people here call him.”

Frisk perked up with interest. “You know him?”

“Well, I should. I am Flowey, the Golden Flower of Ebott after all! Although, I don’t know him personally, but I am good friends with his brother.”

Frisk got off the rock and sat in front of the flower instead. “Could you maybe tell me a bit more about him?”

Flowey gave the child a long look, before his face contorted slightly again. The tiny smile on the middle of his face turned out to be slit nostrils as the area above his lower leaves opened slightly, showing a grin filled with sharp teeth. He looked like a child who had just been asked to share some gossip he heard about the bully next door.

“Well, people say he likes the blood of his victims. But actually he just likes the taste of...mustard.”

“No way!” Frisk giggled.

“Yes! And even though he might look like a tough guy, he is actually just a lazybones who just wants to rest and be left alone. But all those people trying to capture and kill him really irritate him.”

“Yeah, I noticed.” Frisk replied as they thought about all the guys she had to help who were pinned to trees by bones.

The flower’s eyes suddenly sparked with worry. “Speaking of which, I will give you a little advice in case you meet them. You seem like a nice person, and I don’t want for anything to happen to you just because Sans nerves are so tense right now. And I don’t want him to get hurt either, Papyrus would be heartbroken. He might be loud and aggressive, but he loves his brother very much.”

“If you meet him, sing him a sad song. I don’t know how, but if you do that he’ll become as meek as a lamb. You can even pull at him and he’ll follow. Just thought I’d tell you in case you bumped into him.”

In the distance there was the sound of a bell.

“Oh no!” Frisk cried out. “The five minute bell! I have to get to school quickly!” They shoved the rest of the sandwich into their mouth and ran off. “By Flower!” They waved.

Later that evening they were walking home to the orphanage at the capital. They were deep in thought about what Flowey said. So deep in fact that they didn’t hear how quiet the forest had got.

Too quite…

Frisk bumped into something.

Because they were always looking down they saw his feet first, and they almost laughed. He wore big, fuzzy, red slippers, with bright yellow socks sticking out of them. The colors were just so strange, and the slippers looked soft and plush. Their humor died down as they realized just how big the strange footwear was, maybe even ten times the size of their own, and that out of the sock stuck thick, massive bones.

Their eyes traveled up, over black shorts with a yellow stripe on each outer side, before they rested on his belly and chest for a second. His body was enormous, towering high over their head with a large round belly. He was clad in a bright red sweater with a thick, black, battered jacket. At his sides they saw huge claws, each was nearly long as their entire arm and the palms easily as big as their chest.

Finally, they looked all the way up until their head was lying in their neck to see his face. His head was a huge skull framed by the white fur hood from his jacket. Three horn-like growths protruded from the top of his head, with two smaller ones on his cheeks. He had a huge mouth filled with sharp fangs. It had two huge tusks, one of pearly white bone while the other was replaced by a huge serrated dagger or knife that looked like it had been welded into the dental socket. Above those snarling fangs were the pitch black eye sockets, with two red orbs inside, each of a different size, staring at them with fury.

A furious rumble started in his chest as the monster’s mouth started to open wide, wider, impossibly wide, as if he was planning to devour the child whole! Frisk suddenly remembered what Flowey told them and racked their brain for a song.

“If I let you go, would you still be a part of me?...” They didn’t know how they knew this song, but they had a distant memory of someone singing it, and it always used to make them cry when they hummed it to themself. Their voice was slightly shaking but they forced their voice to sing the words loud and clear. They felt a tiny bit braver as the monster’s mouth relaxed, wide eyes focused on the tiny child as he listened.

Frisk’s voice got a little more confident as the monster’s mouth fully shut with a soft click, and they closed their eyes as the song started to bring tears to them and a warm feeling in their chest.

Frisk opened their eyes with surprise at a soft sob, but forced themself to keep on singing. Sans was clearly fighting to keep it in, rubbing furiously at his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket, but they could still see the big red tears that were starting to stream down his short muzzle.

Looking at the monster as he looked so vulnerable and remembering what Flowey had said, Frisk got a little idea.

After the song ended they started up again, slowly reaching for Sans’ claw. He didn’t even react as they closed their fingers around one of the enormous digit and when they pulled it he took a shuffled step forward.

And so, still singing as they went, Frisk lead Sans back to the capital. They hadn’t even left the treeline but the people already started screaming in fear. “The Beast of Ebott! THE BEAST OF EBOTT IS COMING!” People screamed, all running away and hiding wherever they could. In their homes, on the roofs, in barrels, one guy even jumped off his horse to hide behind the animal. And a soft buzz of voices followed, as people realized that the giant brute was willingly pulled along by a tiny child.

As they walked through the now deserted streets of the city, Frisk could feel the monster’s paws slightly starting to shake. They looked up to see that he was still crying, but he was looking around, eyes full of fear and worry. They gently gave the claw they were still holding a little squeeze, and when he met their eyes they gave him a reassuring little smile.

When they reached the castle the guards were gone nearly just as quickly as the others, leaving the gates wide open. I was only when they entered the throne room that someone stood their ground. As the doors swung open, the normal servants quickly hid under the satin chairs and the oak closets. But the king’s Royal Guard quickly stood to attention with drawn weapons.

The king sat in his throne with stern eyes, no doubt having heard of what was coming. But not that early that he had been able to warn his wife and children. Queen Toriel gasped and turned pale. Prince Asriel let out a startled scream and he and their adopted royalty Chara quickly ran into their mother’s arms, the latter drawing their favorite dagger, just in case.

The king narrowed his eyes and lifted his hand. All available weapons in the room were pointed at the giant monster.

“Stop! Don’t hurt him!” Frisk cried out in panic. The room was instantly silent.

Too quiet…

Frisk was suddenly aware that they had stopped singing.

Quickly they tried to pick the song up from where they left, but they stumbled over their words and gave a little squeak as enormous hands grasped around their middle.

The room stayed absolutely silent as the kid was lifted off the floor, up and up….and awkwardly cradled against the monster’s chest. Frisk couldn’t see his face, but they could just feel the heat of a venomous glare going being thrown over the top of their head. The fact that the glare wasn’t on them gave them the courage to look up and softly inquire:

“Sans?”

The red eyes lowered in surprise when he heard his name, but his face softened slightly and he gave them a little smile. Then he went back to leveling a glare at the king, challenging him to give the fatal order.

The king slowly lowered his hand, and the guard their weapons. “Are you certain that’s wise my child?” His voice was deep and cautious, looking at the beast before him. He was a big guy, but this monster easily dwarfed him being nearly twice his size.

“Yes!” The child called out. “He’s big and strong, and quite scary, but he’s not a bad guy. He just wants to be left alone and not attacked by young machos every fifteen minutes.”

Asriel and Chara seemed to peek out from their mother a little more, and Toriel herself seemed to have regained her composure, her back straight and the aura around her strong and regal. She was eyeing Sans closely and for some reason the monster was actually avoiding eye contact with her.

“I’m not certain about this.” The king spoke slowly. “I do not wish to leave this creature unchecked, but we are in debt with you for capturing it and… seemingly having tamed it somehow?”

Frisk could feel a huff going through the monster’s chest and ruffling their hair, but he didn’t really protest to the assumption. Huh?

“So we can’t exactly kill it now either.”

“It could stay in the castle park.”

Heads snapped towards the queen. Her children had nearly completely come out from behind her back as she stood proud and tall. Asgore might be king, but everyone knew who the true strength of the royal family was. She slowly walked forward until she was in front of the monster.

“If he stays there, we can keep an eye on him as you wish. But he’ll have the room to roam around and the only people that will come there will leave him alone as long as he behaves. And the child can come live with us if they chose to do so.”

Whatever the queen must have seen in Sans, it must have been worth her trust. And as their eyes finally met there seemed to be a mutual respect between the two forces. And even if you couldn’t see that, the slight dip of Sans’ head left no doubt.

When her eyes drifted to Frisk though, those eyes instantly turned motherly.

“My child, the bag you are wearing tells me that you’re living in the orphanage a few miles away. Would you like to come live with us here at the palace instead, and be part of our family. After all, if I remember correctly someone promised half a kingdom and the hand of our daughter.” There was a sharp edge in her voice as she said that, turning to the king who was fidgeting with a lowered head.

“Oh, I don’t want the kingdom.” Frisk chirped. “I found Sans by chance, and I just wanted to make sure he would be safe. And I’m way too young to know who I’m gonna like, especially when I’m not even sure of my gender too. If I’m going to live with you, I much rather would want Chara and also Asriel as my siblings.”

Said child looked dumbfounded, once again surprised someone would want them around. Toriel looked proud, mom mode quickly starting to kick in.

“Excellent my dear! We will send for someone to get your things from the orphanage. Sans, would you please follow me? I’ll show you the gardens, there you can have as much rest as you wish.”

Frisk could feel the monster hug them a little bit closer, like a child holding a doll for comfort. But he obediently followed the queen nonetheless.

Looks like she wouldn’t need to sing to make him do what she wanted.

And thus from that day on, Frisk lived with the Dreemurr family. They were treated as equal to the other two royal children, learning and playing along with them. Asriel warmed up quickly to his new sibling, energetically hopping around and pulling them along into his every game. Chara was more reserved and sometimes seemed to test the younger child, but they too eventually warmed up and shared their books with them.

And Sans lived in the garden, sleeping his days away in the shade. Eventually, it turned out he didn’t like to be that lonely though. Frisk would visit them every evening, singing their song as he fought back sniffles, his enormous skull laying down in their lap. And after a while Asriel and Chara would join too.

And eventually the three royal children would be playing in his garden under his watchful and amused gaze, the monster laying right in the middle of the sunniest spot he could find and halfheartedly grumbling as the children crawled over them in their games.

Sans got along with the queen too. He would listen to her talk, sharing her books and recipes. He would even make these strange huffing sounds whenever the queen shared her most terrible puns.

As the 3 siblings grew up, they each became much respected and loved by their people.

Asriel became a just and confident king, respected and loved by his people.

Chara became his advisor, smart and resolute as they were, determined to make sure their siblings would be safe.

And Frisk, they were the keeper of the Beast of Ebott, their best friend and a constant reminder that peace can always be an option. Because of them, monsters were left alone in the kingdom. And monsters, under the protection of someone so powerful and kind, saw no reason to be mean to humans anymore.

Uhm...... Okay so in case you were wondering what my OCs look like, here’s most of them: Here, but Ryu the redhead has an updated hairstyle that doesn’t suck as much ass here I got more on my old DA account but that shit’s all shit yo

PS, insights on Eien are a little bit of insight on me. especially on these two topics. (insight you might already have)

Anyway...

Alcohol/Cigarettes:

Eien is not super into alcohol or smoking. She has some paranoia about alcoholism and being a mean drunk. For some reason, though, she still insists on trying most drinks just to know what it tastes like. She’s relieved she hates alcohol taste. It’s unclear why she still tries. As for cigarettes, she doesn’t like the smell, so she refuses. She thinks fictional characters with cigarettes are sexy af sometimes, even though she hates the habit.

Mugen straight up refuses to drink. He doesn’t mind that other people do it, but he’s personally against it. He gets anxious around new people drinking, because he doesn’t know how they handle it, and so doesn’t know how to handle them. He smokes like it’s going out of style. He has to step outside to smoke since his roommates don’t like the smell. He knows it’s a bad idea considering how terribly he sleeps, but it calms his nerves and gives him something to do with his hands.

Kolya isn’t old enough to drink. But if he was, he would drink so damn much just for the sake of having fun. He’s young so he wants to enjoy himself. He wants to try drunk-gaming, too. And he would drink, anyway, but Eien who is ONLY TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM, HE REMINDS HER, will play concerned Mom and lecture him. “I can drink back in Russia.” “Well, fuckstick, you’re not in Russia and I’m not letting you get in trouble. :T” As for smoking, he thought about it. But he doesn’t like the smell that lingers on his friend’s clothes. One of his sisters also smokes, and he just finds it unpleasant.

Kagame doesn’t really smoke. She has, occasionally when offered, but it’s not her habit. She drinks too. Usually dark red drinks like wine and idk maybe some mix drinks. It’s purely for THE AESTHETIC. She knows her limits too, so no one’s ever seen her drunk.

Subaru is also not old enough to drink and he has no interest in doing so. Smoking doesn’t appeal to him either. He’s a good kid :P

Ryu is a social drinker. One or two drinks and he’s good. Otherwise he might get sick. As for smoking, he doesn’t do it but his boyfriend does so he’s gotten quite fond of the smell of it, if the smoke isn’t being blown in his face at least.

Reho is a casual drinker. He’s got a vicious personality that in other stories would probably make him a raging alcoholic, but no. Drinking usually puts him in a contemplative mood but he’s at least pretty calm when he drinks. He smokes pretty casually, at least compared to Mugen. He smokes inside with the windows open. Ryu complains a little that it turns the ceilings yellow, but he doesn’t really mind. If the place is aired out before guests stop by, it’s fine.

Video Games:

Eien likes video games. She’s not good at them. She’s probably finished playing like four games total, and most of them were online (:P Undertale, Eversion, Yume Nikki, and also Yu Yu Hakusho for the GBA). She also plays things like bejewelled and mindless puzzle games online for no fucking reason until she gets sick if she has nothing else to do. She adores watching people play Indie Horror games and horror games in general, and gets caught up in the lore. She also likes watching platformer games like Super Mario World. She’ll try her hand at a game if she gets really into it but she’s not very good at playing and is usually too embarrassed to play with anyone else.

Mugen doesn’t play video games but he’ll do mindless things like Tetris and Pong for hours. He enjoys when someone’s playing a story-heavy game because he gets to listen to/watch it like it’s a film. Sometimes it helps him sleep. He’ll listen to Kolya play too, but if Kolya’s doing shooter games online, the guy gets loud as hell. Oddly, Mugen usually finds this relaxing too. Eien doesn’t agree.

Kolya is a huger gaming fanatic. He loves RPGs and FPS and Platformers. Current and old games. Whatever, if he can play it he’ll do it. He gets really competitive online and will cuss people out in Russian. Or Japanese. Sometimes English. If he’s playing by himself or with friends though, he’s actually really relaxed about it. He’ll have fun even if the game’s bad, as long as the controls aren’t so shitty that he can’t do anything. He feeds Eien’s LP-watching addiction by letting her sit with him when he does stuff.

Kagame’s not a gamer really. It’s just kind of juvenile for her. However, a few times while visiting the 3 roommates ^, she’s seen Kolya playing and he is so fucking involved. He introduced her to some horror stuff. She personally enjoys murder mystery-type books and Horror movies. So he showed her games that centered on psychological horror, but also violent gore-fests. After a while, she got into it enough that violent horror games are on her list of calming activities (along with tenderizing meat, beating up the punching bag in her basement, and reading).

Subaru looks like the kind of kid who prefers reading to gaming. Or, if he liked games, it’d be depressing shit. He’s actually really invested in games like Pokemon and SMW or Super Mario Sunshine. That kind of thing. He and Kolya talk about them with a lot of enthusiasm, and that’s pretty much when Subaru looks the happiest. He’s really happy when he gets to talk about that sort of thing with Kagame, because he knows she doesn’t have interest in the topic, but she’ll listen to him and make an effort to get involved with it. :) Best big adoptive sister, 10/10.

Ryu’s exposure to games is mostly through Eien. He has more of a fondness for game music, though. He has quite the collection given to him by Eien. He enjoys watching other people play too, since they’re so passionate about it. And he admits that the stories can be quite interesting.

Reho doesn’t have any interest in video or online games. He knows stuff here and there but it never really caught his attention. It’s probably because he’s easily frustrated.

Murder with a Side of Lies (Ch. 4)

Another new pocky-eating witness takes the stand, providing both Papyrus and Undyne a real challenge... As well as a chance for the great detective to show off his T.V. show trivia!

Fandom: Undertale Characters: Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Sans Rating: PG Chapters: 4/8 Mirror Links: AO3, FF.net Notes: The sequel to Kidnappings in the Early Evening by Sky. A fusion of detective noir fiction and courtroom drama! All stories, art, etc., related to this main story will be under the tag #undertale noir. (chrono)

Suggested courtroom music!

First Chapter Previous Chapter Next Chapter

A Dame a Dozen

After another round of honorable flexing, Aaron appeared to be quite content. The audience settled, the judge snoozed, and the prosecutor posed. Of course, this is the norm for court cases, so I don’t really need to be telling you this, do I, notepad?

Sans yawned. “court’s in session.”

Despite an unhappy reunion with some old pals, Undyne refused to let it get her down. Arms crossed, lips splayed in a fang-filled grin, confidence swelled in her chest and burst into mine.

Well… that was how we felt at the time at least. I wish I could say we never lost that feeling.

“You dorky detectives proud of yourselves, hm?” Mettaton mused.

Undyne let out a hearty laugh. “Of course! We can take on anything you throw at us!”

A noise which could only be described as pure pleasure passed through the prosecutor’s pipes. “Oh my, I do so hope that’s true, but alas, I fear otherwise!”

At the time, we had simply waved him off. While I always respected and looked up to Mettaton as a great performer, Undyne and I had an unbreakable bond of friendship! Just what could he possibly do to slow us down?

“Darling, darling, don’t be shy, you can come out now!” Mettaton murmured, motioning mildly.

“I-I-I’m coming, s-s-sorry.”

Undyne recognized that stutter instantly. Her confidence shattered.

“H-h-hi Undyne…” Alphys mumbled, attempting to make eye contact but only managing to stare at her yellow feet. “S-sorry.”

I certainly wasn’t ready for that either! Alphys wore her usual purple and black overalls filled to the brim with Mettaton flair. Although, something was off since I had last seen her. Her scales were paler than I remembered, like something had drained the color right out. Even when no one spoke, she winced in pain, rubbing her temples.

“Now now, don’t apologize, darling!” Mettaton cooed. “Please, do tell the court your name and occupation!”

The scientist appeared as if she had to think on this one. “I-I-I’m Dr. Alphys,” she stuttered. Much like Undyne, Alphys had a vice of her own. Unable to handle the pressure, she dug out a small box of candy sticks labeled ‘Pocky’ from her pockets, placing one of the chocolate sticks in her mouth. “I-I’m a scientist, obviously. I c-c-created Mettaton and he was k-k-kind enough to give me a job when he became a s-s-star.”

“Yes! And it’s a fabulous job, isn’t it? Could you ever ask for more?” Mettaton added, bathing in Alphys’ praise. “Tell the people how much you love it!”

Another wince. She held her eyes closed tight for a moment, shaking her head as if she were dizzy. “I-I do love it, y-yes…”

“Objection!” Undyne roared, slamming a fist into our desk. The outburst startled Alphys, causing her to sporadically eat her candy even faster. “Don’t force Alphys to praise you!”

“I-i-it’s all right, Undyne, really,” she tried to say, but no one was listening.

“Forcing praise? Me?” With a dignified twirl the rascally robot faced his audience. “How can I force anyone to love me when they already do?” He held out his arms and basked in their uproarious applause. I had to try my darndest not to join in! It looked like so much fun! But Undyne would probably get mad if I did.

A vein pulsed across my fishy friend’s forehead, threatening to burst! Scary! Splinters of wood exploded in every direction as she pounded her fist harder and harder into the desk. “You worthless trash bin! You’re completely blinded by that fat ego of yours! You don’t care how she feels at all!”

I frowned. Ironically, it seems I was the only one paying attention to Alphys at this point. The poor girl wanted to be anywhere else but in the middle of this. “G-g-guys…”

Another wagging finger as Mettaton reflected the insults away effortlessly. “Hmm? Some nerve calling me a trash bin when you still have spaghetti stuck to your hair.” He laughed. “Or is that just your natural hair color? Week-old spaghetti?”

Her eyelid twitched, and her lip oozed frightening dark stuff from grinding her fangs too hard. I tried my best to soothe her rage. “UNDYNE, THAT’S NOT SO BAD! I LOVE SPAGHETTI!” That only seemed to enrage her further.

She turned her head to face me and that lone eye of hers burned brighter than a gasoline fire. For once, I found myself speechless.

Fart fart fart. PPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAART!

The room went completely silent. Mettaton’s lights went out, Undyne’s rage was replaced with an inexplicable confusion, and the audience was absolutely dazed.

“heh, good ol’ whoopee cushion,” Sans laughed contently, holding his gavel above the rubber toy. “i don’t want this trial turning into a big ‘ol stinker, (heh) ok, fellas? how about we let alphys speak instead of fighting over her.”

Normally, I’d be incredibly angry at my brother for being so childish! But, that was incredibly effective! Even I couldn’t get control over Undyne! Her fiery hatred was doused once she saw her girlfriend gnawing down those candy sticks faster than a beaver hyped up on coffee.

Of course, this didn’t mean Undyne was going to apologize any time soon! “Yeah. You’re right,” she said solemnly, crossing her arms.

“GREAT JOB, YOUR MAJESTY!” I gave a thumbs-up to my bro, who in turn got me a wink back.

“Your Honor,” Undyne corrected.

“HONORABLE, YOU MEAN. I AM HONORABLE, YES I AGREE!”

“No, I mean – ngah, forget it.” She sighed. “Let’s just get this over with.”

“Agreed.” The boxy bot bowed brilliantly. “Alphys, darling, if you could tell us what you know?”

Alphys let out a startled ‘meep’ once the attention was finally back on her, scattering her precious candy sticks across the floor. “O-oh, yes. Of c-c-course!” She pulled out a piece of paper with a big-headed big-eyed human on the top corner. “I-I did an analysis on the d-d-dust once the dogi brought it to me last night. According to my t-t-tests, Burgerpants’ estimated time of death should be very close to 8:30 PM.”

“HOLD IT!” I shouted, causing Alphys to jump in shock and scramble for her paper. “WOULD YOU MIND TELLING US HOW YOUR TESTS CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION MS. ALPHYS?”

Gasps and wheezes blew out of her lungs as she attempted to correct her breathing. “Y-y-yes. R-r-right.”

Undyne was concerned. “Hey, Pap, mind trying not to yell so much? She looks a bit more nervous than usual.”

I nodded. I’d try my best at least?!

Deep breaths. Alphys nodded to herself and continued, “T-t-to put it simply, I test the dust’s t-t-t-temperature. Based on how warm or cold it is; I can p-p-pretty much accurately find out the monster’s time of death. When I received B-B-Burgerpants’ dust later that night, I noticed straight away how w-w-warm it still was. He c-c-clearly had fallen down quite recently.”

“INTERESTING!” I mused. Undyne glared. I coughed and tried to clear my non-existent throat. (It’s very therapeutic even if I don’t have one!) “Interesting. What about the rain? Wouldn’t that have messed up your calculations?” Boy, I had to really really strain my voice just to keep it this low!

She shook her head. “I a-a-accounted for the rain, don’t worry. Even with all that, it was still quite w-w-warm.”

“To add on to that,” Mettaton interrupted, tossing a handful of glamorous glitter our way. “Catty was found with the burgers and the dust of our dearly deceased at almost exactly 8:30 PM as well.”

The judge was laying his skull on his arms, looking drowsy. “that’s some pretty hot evidence against the defendant.” Gah! Puns aside, he was right!

Another wag of the finger. “Oh, but that’s not all, darlings! My sweet Alphys also witnessed the deceased’s final hours!”

My eyes bulged out of their sockets at what felt like a terrible blow to our defense. Nyeh! Not that I was afraid or anything!

Alphys was positively shoveling that pocky down her throat, sweat dripping from every angle I could imagine. “Y-y-y-yes, it’s t-t-t-true. I w-w-w-was at w-w-work at the time and I s-s-saw Burgerpants l-l-l-leave at 8:00 PM. H-h-he even said he was g-g-g-g-going to meet Catty.”

“I can corroborate that,” Mettaton chimed in. “As his wonderful boss, he gladly told me that he was going to see a friend that night! I didn’t see him leave, however, but luckily I can always count on my darling Alphys!”

“HANG ON!” I yelled again, before remembering to use my quiet voice. “What’s your relationship with the victim? What was his job?”

Mettaton’s lights animated into a bright red exclamation mark. “Oh my, how silly of me! I should have mentioned this before! Burgerpants was a dear dear employee of mine. He worked in the fast food department of MTT studios. He absolutely loved his job and loved me with all his heart!” He placed a hand against his ‘forehead’ and made like he was going to faint. “Oh, my dear sweet Burgerpants! How I miss thee!”

Call me crazy, but I don’t think he missed thee at all!

This was quite the evidence they had against Catty! I must admit, I was floundering a bit behind the desk. Undyne was lost in thought, however, moving her cigarette carelessly between her lips.

“Ms. Alphys,” I said through strained tones. “You’re sure you saw Burgerpants that night?”

Her glasses fogged up and her breathing intensified again. I wasn’t even loud! That shouldn’t have startled her! “Y-y-yep! 8:00 PM! For s-s-sure!” She tried to give me a confident smile, but it kind of just unnerved me.

Mettaton motioned with what appeared to be a nod. “Alphys was scheduled to work till 8:00 PM that night as well, so you can be sure she’s telling the truth.”

This didn’t seem right! Alphys was extra nervous, even for her! Could she be lying about when she last saw Burgerpants? Why would she lie? Even if she was, how could I possibly prove it?

I looked over to Undyne for assistance. Who would know more about Alphys than her girlfriend, of course! But she remained strangely quiet, staring ahead, deep in thought again. “UNDYNE!” I whisper-yelled, breaking her out of the trance. “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS?”

She frowned, unable to keep eye contact with me. “I might. But…”

“BUT WHAT? THE UNDYNE I KNOW WOULD NEVER HESITATE!”

A few blinks. Undyne kept her voice low. “I don’t know. Alphys is already so stressed, you know? She looks sick with it even. I don’t want to embarrass her or anything,” she sighed. “Like I did with Dogamy and Dogaressa.”

Ah, of course. Undyne was a fierce warrior, but she’d never hurt her friends! On purpose, that is. Well, maybe a little on purpose, but usually only with physical violence.

“CATTY IS DEPENDING ON US, THOUGH!” I argued. “WE PROMISED WE’D HELP HER! YOU DON’T WANT SOMEONE TO GET FALSELY ACCUSED IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING, RIGHT? IMAGINE IF I GAVE SOMEONE A PLATE OF SPAGHETTI AND I KNEW IT WASN’T ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! THAT WOULD BE WRONG!”

She thought on that for a moment. “I’m not so sure about that analogy, but I guess you’re right.” Undyne clenched her fist. “Justice needs to be delivered.” Just like my delicious spaghetti! Justghetti! Oh! I’m keeping that one!

“Tick, tock, darlings!” Mettaton mimed a watch on his hand. “Or have you finally given up?”

“We’ll never give up,” Undyne grinned, eye flaring with a magical light. “Alphys.”

The mousy lizard flinched at that. “Y-y-yes, Undyne?”

My fishy friend calmly placed her palm down on the battered desk. “You say you saw Burgerpants leave work at 8:00 PM last night. Sunday, wasn’t it?”

Pant. Wheeze. Alphys was sweating more bullets than a machine gun. “Y-y-yep! Sunday at 8:00 PM!”

“I have a hard time believing that.” Undyne’s eye was sharper than her spears.

Alphys laughed, but it was a high-pitched laughter. “W-w-why would you think that?”

Her words were slow. Deliberate. “Game of Bones. I know you’ve heard of it. It airs new episodes every Sunday at 8:00 PM.”

Oh! Game of Bones! I loved that show! It was about skeletons living in medieval times, fighting for a chance to sit on the Bone Throne! The show is filled with betrayal, twists, and steamy romances! I never miss it myself.

Judging by Alphys’ reaction, she appeared to be quite the fan, too! Her eyes lit up for but a moment at the mention of the name, ready to gush. “S-s-sure! I l-like Game of Bones! S-so what?”

Undyne frowned and pointed an accusing spear her way. “I watch it with you every week! You’d never miss even a second of it, no matter what!”

Wowie! What a twisting attack! But, this didn’t have the effect on Alphys that I thought it would! She didn’t get nervous at all! In fact, her face crinkled up in what looked to be anger.

A pocky stick in her grip crumbled to dust in her claws. “Y-yeah?! W-w-what do you know! You weren’t with me t-t-this week!”

I don’t think Undyne was ready for that either. The counter attack nearly knocked her off her feet, leaving her stunned. Now that I think about it, Sunday night was the time Undyne was sad and missing from work. I guess she was avoiding Alphys during that time as well.

A fit of loud clapping brought all our attentions back to Mettaton who’s lights blinked with distraught. “There’s a problem with your little theory, darling. First of all,” he held up one finger. “Alphys would never ditch work like that!” He held up two fingers. “Second of all, why wouldn’t she just record the show to watch later?”

Alphys was nodded angrily, chomping into her pocky with an aggression that could only be matched by her girlfriend. “Y-y-yeah!”

A flick of the wrist, so lax and so simple, and their attacks were deflected. Undyne’s grin was wild, untamed, as if she were in the heat of real battle. “If I’m understanding correctly, you should have had no time to watch Game of Bones yet, right Alphys? You must have been working with Mettaton on those tests non-stop.”

Metal screeched and hissed inside his chassis. “Of course she was working with me, darling,” the words were spit out like battery acid. “Alphys is a hard worker and would do anything for me. The only shows that could possibly make her slack off would be my own!”

Alphys nodded, but her anger had tensed. Her armor cracked. Clear to all, especially Undyne. “I-I-I was planning to watch it after the trial was over!”

Mettaton’s lights blinked way too brightly. His glitter-filled gloves gripped and grappled his desk with such a grievous force. “Exactly, darling, and there’s no way you could prove she watched it!” He cheered and posed for the audience, but it was stiff and angry. Undyne had gotten under his plated skin.

Undyne’s words were as smooth as water, as still as a light brook in the forest. “You’re gonna have to try a little harder than THAT.”

A short circuit. A skull and cross bones animated itself over Mettaton’s body, blinking blood red. No one was supposed to outdo him! No one could steal the show from him! “You! You’re just bluffing! A cheap bluff, too! No one should be falling for this amateur act!” Wowie! I think steam was literally whistling out of his body?

His words were nothing but a cool breeze to her. In fact, Undyne appeared to enjoy it. “Oh, Papyrus!” she called out politely.

Oh yeah! I’m here! Wowie, I was so enthralled in their battle, I completely forgot! “YES, UNDYNE?”

She faced me, but her eye was locked on Alphys. “Can you tell me what your favorite part of Game of Bones was last night?”

Before I could even think to speak, a shrill “S-S-stop! Spoilers!” rang out. If I had any ears, I’m sure they would be ringing after that.

Alphys fell right into Undyne’s trap, and both knew it all too well. Still, neither planned to give up. Mettaton, however, was left out, and furious about that fact.

“But, I need to prove a point here, Alphys,” Undyne cooed almost sarcastically. “A few spoilers to prove you’re not lying in a court of law shouldn’t be so bad, right?”

“yeah, considering this is a murder case and all, i’d say a few show details wouldn’t spoil the case,” Sans added. “i’ll allow it.”

Mettaton’s fingers twitched and clenched at the edge of his desk, ready to throw the entire thing in a fit of anger. “Alphys, darling,” his voice was spiking and crackling. “It’s just some stupid show. I’m not even in it! It can’t be that important!”

The pocky must have been consumed by the pound at this point. In her haste, she bit her finger on accident and screeched. “F-f-fine! I-it’s just a d-d-dumb show! I-I don’t care!”

I could swear that Undyne had a heroic wind blowing through her hair somehow. “Go, ahead, Papyrus! Tell us about some of your favorite scenes last night!” The wind stopped howling for a moment. “But, uh, a bit quietly please. For Alphys.”

Oh boy! Well, there was so much! Where to even start? Game of Bones was one of my favorite shows!

“It was all so perfect!” I started, really trying to contain my voice. Even just those words caused Alphys to cringe, but I haven’t the foggiest idea what was so wrong with that. “Tybia Boneister was great! Sure, he was small, but using his intellect and cunning, he was able to escape out of all sorts of sticky situations!”

“yeah, that guy’s my favorite.” Sans winked.

“Oh, and then there was Jon Bone!” I went on, remembering. “He got into some antics with a girl skeleton and she kept saying ‘You know something, Jon Bone? I really like you!’ Boy, was that funny!”

Alphys was breathing heavily. Her glasses were completely fogged up now, keeping her eyes hidden from all of us.

“I know it’s hard to believe, that I, The Great Papyrus, might weep, but when Bonesis sacrificed his favorite toy so that he could win the baseball game…” I sniffled. Just thinking about it gets me feeling like jelly! “I cried! The writing was so beautiful! To think he still lost that game… I was so sad!”

Alphys held up a finger like she was about to halt me. She mumbled something to herself and shook her head. Mumbled a few more words. Shook her head more. She nodded. Was she having an argument with herself? I hoped she was okay. Undyne urged me to keep going, but I was starting to fear for Alphys’ safety.

“Then there was this part with Sir Bony Stan! Oh! We finally got to see him use his mythical karate chop slams!” I mimicked the fight to the best of my ability, and it was amazing, of course. Everyone was impressed. “The end of it though…” I know I was given the okay to spoil it, but I didn’t want to. “Well, let’s just say it was a great fight and ended perfectly!”

Something cracked. Eh? Glass crunching? Or the sawing of wood? What was-

“NO! NO! NO, NO NO! IT WAS SO STUPID!” the voice screamed. Alphys?! “It was completely different in the manga! Sir Bony Stan was the best karate fighter in the entire Game of Bones universe! How did he get beaten by a bunch of fat untrained rich guys like that?”

I faltered. “W-WELL HE WAS SURROUNDED--”

Alphys slammed a claw down on the podium, breaking it in half. “Surrounded?! So what!? The greatest karate master shouldn’t have gotten into a situation where he was surrounded!” Her words exploded out of her lungs clearly and passionately. “In the manga, he was able to get SIX homeruns in a row, without even using a bat! Just by using his karate alone!”

“O-OH. W-WELL I DIDN’T READ THE MANGA SO--”

Alphys huffed. “Of course you didn’t read the manga! I could crush my glasses on the floor and I’d still be able to see you didn’t read the manga!”

“I-I DIDN’T--”

The scientist didn’t stop there. “Ugh! Bonesis would never sacrifice his favorite toy either! That’s not canon at all! It was so dumb! He loved that toy! In the manga at least, but clearly the show doesn’t care about its plot anymore if last night’s episode is anything to go on!”

The rants went on for about five or ten minutes. I chose to leave that part out because Alphys started using some language that I refuse to repeat! Even Undyne looked a little scared, but also proud?

Once she had gone through the entire episode in extraordinary detail and told us why parts of it were terrible, the little lizard finally returned to her original form. The silence was so thick and uncomfortable I could taste it. Tasted like instant noodles?

Mettaton had shut down during the rant. His lights slowly flickered back to life once he realized the torture was over. “Alphys,” Mettaton mumbled meagerly. He reached out towards the heavens as if the gods themselves unfairly tortured his soul. “Alphys, darling, you’ve killed me.”

Well, that was a bit overdramatic, even for Mettaton! But, was he really acting anymore?

“S-s-sorry…” Alphys stuttered out through heaving breaths, rubbing her temples. The poor girl drifted back and forth in a woozy rhythm, leaning against the splintered and battered podium. “I-I… I shouldn’t have lied to you, Undyne.” The fishy girl frowned. “Or to you, Mettaton.” The confident computer blinked silently. “I s-s-shouldn’t have lied to anyone.”

The room was still. Neither side could find what to say. Only Alphys could continue. “I-I’ve been so stressed lately.” She kept her eyes to the ground. “I-I’ve had more work on the side than just for you, Mettaton.” He didn’t pose, he didn’t reply in a sassy tone, he simply listened. “And I knew Undyne was going through a t-t-tough time too. I-I didn’t want to be selfish. I wanted to be s-strong for everyone.”

“Alphys,” Undyne said reflexively.

“No, no,” Alphys shook her head. “I-I won’t pretend it was a good excuse to lie. My testimony should be inadmissible.” She sighed heavily. “If I’m going to be c-c-completely honest here, I don’t even know if the time of death is correct. I haven’t b-been able to rest enough, and my temperature readings just weren’t making sense.” She finally looked over to Mettaton. “I’m s-sorry. I really m-messed this up.”

A strange thing happened then.

“No, darling, I’m sorry.” Mettaton apologizing? I’ve never even seen him do that in a TV show! “I’ve overworked you and I’ve taken you for granted, haven’t I?” His voice was soothing, sweet. Real, even. “Without you, I wouldn’t even exist. I should have listened to you, I should have noticed you were struggling, but I have a hard time focusing on anything but myself, I suppose. I know it won’t mean much now, but I’m going to give you a few days off.”

Alphys must have been expecting backlash. She was surprised, but relieved to hear those words. “T-that would be really nice. Thank you, Mettaton.”

Such a touching moment! My bony heart wanted to burst! “Awwww!” the audience and I murmured in unison. Rose in hand, spotlight sparkling, Mettaton’s chassis blinked with a bright red heart over his screen. He basked in their praise a little too much.

“while i’m really glad we finally learned what’s up with the doc,” Sans chuckled. I don’t get it! “with the testimony being inadmissible and all, we’re gonna need some more evidence to prove catty meowled the victim.”

Yes! Things were going in our favor again! I just hope something doesn’t pop up at the last second and –

“Hold it! (Yeah, hold it!)” barked a couple of voices. Aw, geez. “We’ve found some new evidence at the crime scene! (Yeah, see! We’re good dogs!!)”

Tongues lolling and muzzles panting, the dogi couple scampered up onto the court stage, overshadowing Alphys’ meager form quite easily. They were running in circles, their tails wagging every which way.

Sans called them over. “what’d ya find?” he asked.

The dogi were too excitable and couldn’t stand still.

“sit,” Sans ordered casually, but with a hint of sternness.

Dogamy sat almost instantly. Dogaressa was a bit shocked but then realized she’d probably be out of a treat if she didn’t follow suit, so she sat too.

“drop it.”

They handed it over to Aaron the bailiff who handed it over to Sans.

“good dogs.”

At the sound of praise, the dogi immediately lost control of their enthusiasm again, hopping around and doing circles with each other all while still nuzzling and licking.

Mettaton was quite interested. “Well? Don’t keep us in suspense! What is it?”

Sans held the evidence in his phalanges casually, flipping the tiny pink thing through his bony fingers. The light of his eyes focused and stared. “ain’t got a clue,” he shrugged.

“It’s a nail! (A nail from that cat!)” the dogi barked. “We found it at the crime scene! (It’s pink! We had someone else check!)” Dogaressa growled her last words out, clearly not wanting to admit or remind anyone about their color-blindness.

Aww, it really was pink this time. Catty certainly seems the type to have pink nails, too. This couldn’t be good.

Sans looked over the evidence one last time. It was incredibly shiny, gaudy even. “yeah, does appear to be a nail, doesn’t it…” his words vanished as he became lost in thought.

Mettaton managed to clap his hands together quite loudly. “Y-your Honor!” A stutter? “If I might make a suggestion! I think we should take a thirty-minute break to analyze this new evidence and see where to go from here!”

Sans nodded, and suddenly the new evidence couldn’t be less important to him. With a flick of a wrist, he tossed it aside. “sure, why not? i could use another nap. any objections?” He looked our way.

As much as it pained me to not scream another loud ‘objection’ at the top of my magical lungs, I had to keep my cool! “NO OBJECTIONS, YOUR MAJESTY!”

“cool. meet back in a half-hour or whatever,” he yawned, placing his sleepy skull down into his arms.

Just what could this new evidence mean? Sure, the dogi claimed it was Catty’s but I had a strange feeling about it. Undyne agreed with me. Even Mettaton was particularly panicky!

Oh! Where did Alphys go?

She must have left when no one was looking.

Note

All the questions you haven't answered yet??????? 😇

Don’t you flash that angel face at me, Anon, I know you’re hiding horns under there…..

1: My name?

My name is nope. Actually, my name is a bit of a confusing thing for me at the moment since I’m trying to transition. I get called a bunch of things, but you guys can stick to Marcus.

2: Do I have any nicknames?

I got a bunch… Satan, Wolf Pup, Magzy, Zip (there’s more but these are the main ones)

3: Zodiac sign?

Aquarius and rat. WAIT I JUST LOOKED THIS UP??? Apparently, your Chinese zodiac depends on when the Chinese New Year begins. And I was born early enough in the year that I was born before the Chinese New Year. I’m actually a pig! Go figure.

4: Video game I play to chill, not to win?

Risk of Rain. I’ve played it so often that it’s easy for me to win now. But it’s still fun to play. Kinda a repetitive game, but still fun.

5: Book/series I reread?

The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks (I was actually thinking of rereading it soon). It’s a pretty dark series, but it’s beautifully written. And there’s romance, but it’s not the main focus, so I doubly love it. I’m so sick of reading books where the main focus is romance, guys…. I just want my adventure without the lovey- dovey shit…… (That’s actually kinda hilarious considering I only write and read fanfics based on romance….) Another good series I like to reread is The Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan. It’s an easier read since the target age range seems to be middle school/high school (when I picked the series up) but it’ll alway be one of my favorite series and it’s so well written and captivating that I can’t help but read it again every once and awhile.

6: Aliens or ghosts?

I pick ghosts. I like ghosts better. (Sorry aliens)

8: Favourite radio station?

98.7 LA’s New Alternative. Either that or KROQ or Jack FM. But mostly 98.7. I get most of my music off there or from movies or friends…..

9: Favourite flavour of anything?

Vanilla. Caramel. Eggnog. Lemon. I like French Silk ice cream, as well as strawberry cheesecake and fried green tea. I like lemon or pecan pie. I like green tea pocky. And chai tea. I’m not sure what else…..

10: The word that I use all the time to describe something great?

Awesome. That’s awesome! Or nice, or dude. XD Or all of those at once.

11: Favourite song?

House of the Rising Sun. Good song.

12: The question you ask new friends to get to know them better?

I just kinda weave questions into conversations depending on the situation, so it’s a different question with each friend….. Most of the time, though, I just try to find something we’re both into.

13: Favourite word?

Fool. It’s great. XD I love it. Just falls out of the mouth so easily.

14: The last person who hurt me, did I forgive them?

A minor hurt, yes. A major hurt, no. Mostly because they kept at it even when I said something.

15: Last song I listened to?

I dunno, something by Owl City, listening to them right now, Mike’s playing them on loop while he cooks, they’re pretty awful.

17: Pirates or ninjas?

PIRATES. I love pirates, life on the sea always seemed a lot more interesting than sneaky ninja stuff. I grew up on Sinbad and I even had a couple years where I dressed up as a pirate for Halloween.

18: Movie I watch when I’m feeling down?

I usually turn to Disney or DreamWorks. I like Atlantis and Sinbad and Brother Bear.

19: Song that I always start my shuffle with/wake-up song/always-on-a-loop song?

These are all different for me. I usually just shuffle or start on the song I’m currently into. I have softer music to wake me up, right now it’s Adagio for TRON from the Tron soundtrack by Daft Punk. I always loop new songs or old favorites, different each time.

20: Favourite video games?

Undertale and Overwatch are my obvious ones. But I also love Risk of Rain (have a whole rp based on it with my bestie), Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (I know it’s not a great game, but it was one of my first games), the Dragon Age series, Choice of Robots (I really like text based games), and the Bioshock series. I would play all of these again.

21: What am I most afraid of?

Being rejected by the people I care about and left alone. It haunts me a lot because it’s happened so many times before. It’s why I have a lot of trust issues.

22: A good quality of mine?

I’m extremely loyal to and supportive of my friends.

23: A bad quality of mine?

All the rest of them.

24: Cats or dogs?

Doggos. Doggies. Pup pups. I love them so much. And cats seem to hate me anyway???

25: Actor/actress you trust enough to watch whatever they’re in?

Johnny Depp. He’s a pretty amazing actor, gotta admit. (Plus he’s one of the only actors whose name I remember)

27: Am I in a relationship?

No.

28: Something I miss?

Home. I miss home a lot.

29: My best friend?

@jebuzfish (Elina)

30: Eye colour?

Hazel, though some people say yellow??

31: Hair colour?

I’m naturally a dirty blonde. My hair is dyed black and blue and gray right now.

32: Someone I love?

Elina. Mike. Tori. Evan. Most of it is platonic love (*sing song voice* One of these is not like the others)

33: Someone I trust?

Elina. Evan. I trust Mike and Tori, but not explicitly (sorry, I still love ya guys though)

34: Someone I always think about?

Mike (mostly ‘cause he’s almost constantly with me)

35: Am I excited about anything?

Gonna go traveling soon. Excited for that. Nervous, too. Also excited for this fic Evan is writing for me (fucking amazing dude, I love you)

36: My current obsession?

…..Roadrat……..

37: Favourite TV shows as a child?

Ed, Edd, N’ Eddy. Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Danny Phantom. Don’t remember any others at the moment. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

38: Do I have someone of the opposite sex that I can tell everything to?

Elina. She’s too good to me. I love her, she’s the best.

39: Am I superstitious?

No, but I always seem to end up following other people’s superstitions…

40: What do I think about most?

The future. Art. My future art career. My dog. It’s kinda hard to remember what I think the most about, I have the worst memory and a really fuzzy thought process.

41: Do I have any strange phobias?

Cold water. I hate cold water. I think I explained it some time ago….

42: Do I prefer to be in front of the camera or behind it?

Neither! I suck at taking photos and I hate having my photo taken. But I guess that means if I had to choose, I’d choose behind.

43: Favourite hobbies?

Writing. Reading. Drawing. Hiking…. sleeping…… (I’m tired…….)

44: Last book I read?

Lord of the Changing Winds by Rachel Neumeier (Do all of these ask thingies have this question?)

45: Last film I watched?

XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Just saw it yesterday.

46: Do I play any instruments?

I play guitar. I used to play viola, violin, and piano. Don’t remember much of that, though. Kinda regret dropping it. But hey, at least I’m pretty good at reading music.

47: Favourite animal?

Wolf. I really love wolves. Big shaggy pups.

48: Top 5 blogs on Tumblr that I follow?

@paranoid-fighter , @welcome-to-witchcraft (when did you change your name????), @jebuzfish (even though she barely posts ‘cause she’s busy in school and doing homework….), setheverman, and jamison-junkrat (the last two I’m not tagging because I don’t know them personally and I’m fuckin’ shy….)

49: Superpower I wish I could have?

Shapeshifting. I reaaaaally wish I could shapeshift. It’d be so fucking cool. Transform into anything? Sign me the fuck up.

51: Do I like confrontation?

Nooooope. I try to go out of my way to avoid it ‘cause I generally find myself in a lot confrontation. I shut down easily. It’s not fun at all…..

52: When do I feel most at peace?

In nature, when it’s a nice windy day but it’s still warm out and the sun is setting. There’s just something relaxing about it.

53: What makes me smile?

Bad jokes, cute things, uhhhhhhhh…… my friends. Yeah. (Can’t think of much else at the moment)

54: Do I sleep with the lights on or off?

Both? I actually tend to fall asleep with the lights on, but then I wake up and turn them off. Also, I sleep during the day sometimes (most of the time) if that counts….

55: Play any sports?

Not currently, but I used to play tennis. I was pretty good. I miss playing. :C

56: What is my song of the week?

Human by Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. It’s too catchy for me to ignore.

57: Favourite drink?

Water! I used to go very long periods without water, to the point I’d catch headaches, so I quit most of the other stuff and stick to water nowadays. Also, water is freaking amazing when you’re really thirsty or it’s hot out and it’s just so great.

58: When did I last send a handwritten letter to somebody?

Not since high school, when they made us write for the veterans or deployed soldiers (that stuff was so bullshit, not because it’s a bad thing to do but more because getting half-assed teenagers to write them is just isn’t the best). I’ve written some since then, but never sent them.

59: Afraid of heights?

Nah. I wanna go skydiving, can’t afford to be afraid of heights.

61: What was the last concert I went to see?

Muse, I think. Or was it Black Keys? It was awhile back. But lemme tell ya, Muse knows how to throw an amazing concert. Like wow. Good music and good stage presence? A+++

62: Am I vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian?

None of these, I like my meats too much.

63: What occupation did I want to do when I was younger?

I wanted to be a doctor, and then a vet. Gave those up in high school.

64: Have I ever had a friend turn enemy?

Not that I can think of. I’ve been very picky with my friends.

65: What fictional universe would I like to be a part of?

Ah geez, I dunno…. There’s a lot of different fictional universes I wanna be a part of, I don’t think I’d be able to choose one.

66: Something I worry about?

I worry about a lot. Mostly my youngest pup right now. It’s been awhile since I’ve acquired a new dog, and there’s still a lot I’m learning about her.

67: Scared of the dark?

Yes, but not for the obvious reasons. More because the dark brings quiet and with quiet comes more time for me to spend talking to myself in my head, and that’s never a good thing…

68: Who are my best friends?

Elina. Evan. I’m debating Mike.

69: What do I admire most about others?

How outgoing they are. I like people who are willing to get out there, you know? It’s hard for me myself to get up and get going, so seeing other people do it is kinda astonishing and wow. Just really awesome all together. Really admirable. I love it.

70: Can I sing?

Yes. I used to be in choir when I was a small kiddo, and I may have lost some of that, but I’m still pretty decent today, or at least I’d like to think.

71: Something I wish I could do?

Fly a plane. I love being up in the air, and that’d be a really cool thing to do. :D

72: If I won the lottery, what would I do?

Well, depends on how much I win and how I receive the money. I’d actually probably keep doing what I do now: donate as much as I can, buy a bunch of art stuff or books, and try to save the rest (I’m really awful at that hahaha….)

73: Have I ever skipped school?

Yeah. High school, back in ninth grade. Didn’t do it often though, maybe twice.

74: Favourite place on the planet?

That I’ve been to? Yellowstone has this lake, I don’t remember what it was called but it was down by the petrified tree, and I instantly fell in love. Very pretty, has a small meadow of wild flowers surrounded by the pine woods, lily pads in the water. Hell, it’s almost too beautiful to be real.

75: Where do I want to live?

I’m not sure. Somewhere with trees and snow, but pretty in the summer time. Somewhere quiet. I like Arrowhead, down here in California, but I also love the forest down by Yellowstone.

76: Do I have any pets?

I got 2 dogs, my older dog Bandit (she’s grumpy all the time) and my new pup Chara (she’s a hyperactive fluff ball with sharp teeth)

77: What is my current desktop picture?

I got it cycling through a bunch of pics, but it’s all the basic nature pics on this computer (Mike’s). My home computer is a bunch of fantasy scapes or monster designs.

78: Early bird or night owl?

Night owl. I like the stars.

79: Sunsets or sunrise?

Sunsets. I think they have richer colors, and they turn to night.

80: Can I drive?

Yes. Technically. My license is suspended right now…. I had trouble paying a ticket….. LISTEN, I’M A GREAT DRIVER OKAY? I JUST LIKE TO GO FAST

81: Story behind my last kiss?

It was a goodbye kiss. Nothing more ya need to know.

82: Earphones or headphones?

I’m picky about my headphones, and they’re a lot harder to carry around, so I actually use earphones more. But I prefer headphones.

83: Have I ever had braces?

Nah.

84: Story behind one of my scars?

I was forced to hike up a mountain through the snow, and my dad wouldn’t believe me when I said my boots were digging into me (I wasn’t wearing the right socks), so I know have matching scars on both my ankles that look like I’ve been speared through my Achilles tendons from where my shoes rubbed them bloody. But hey, I made it up the mountain.

85: Favourite genre of music?

Rock. Preferably classic rock.

86: Who is my hero?

My best friend. She’s been there for me through a lot of my troubles, and she’s been such an inspiration for me. It’s hard to believe she’s real sometimes.

87: Favourite comic book character?

I don’t really read comic books really, but between the movies and whatnot, I know a bit. I gotta say Daredevil because that’s who I grew up with.

88: What makes me really angry?

Harassing my friends. I swear, if I ever catch wind of that, you better fucking hope they say they can handle it themselves, or I’m gonna check you into the hospital one way or another.

89: Kindle or real book?

Real book, they smell nice and I like the weight in my hands.

90: Favourite sporty activity?

Swimming, though I prefer to swim in the ocean. I like the water a lot, I like to ride the waves, I like being tossed around and feeling weightless. And it’s kinda hilarious coaxing all my friends who are afraid of the ocean into the deep end where the sand drops off.

91: What is one thing that isn’t tight in schools that should be?

Okay, what the hell does this mean, I’m an old person, what do you mean tight? Do you mean cool? I think places to nap would be cool. I remember that I was always tired in school (college included), and I never really felt safe napping around on the concrete benches and it was always hard to find a teacher who’d let you sleep your free time off in their classroom. It’d be cool to have a designated room with cots or blankets or something for naps.

92: What was my favourite subject at school?

Art. I really loved all art classes I could get my hands on. Following that would be science, I really like knowing the way the world works.

93: Siblings?

Nah.

94: What was the last thing I bought?

Fuck, I dunno. Antibiotics? Ice cream? Food? Probably food.

95: How tall am I?

5′2…. stop reminding me that I’m short……….

96: Can I cook?

Yes, but only basic stuff. I can boil water, make eggs, make chicken, etc. When I try to cook, I apparently don’t do it the correct way (according to Mr. I’m the cook Mike) but it still ends up tasty. (Also Mike actually tries to teach me to cook sometimes, I just don’t pay attention)

97: Can I bake?

Nope.

98: 3 things I love?

Sculpting

Doggos

Mythical creatures

99: 3 things I hate?

Loud or high pitched noises

Cold water

Carrots

100: Do I have more girl friends or boy friends?

Boy friends.

101: Who do I get on with better, girls or boys?

Boys. Girls are weird to understand, especially when they’re super girly. I just don’t get it?

102: Where was I born?

Fairfax, Virginia. I was born on a military base.

104: Where do I currently live?

Not too far from Los Angeles, California

105: Last person I texted?

Last night (you don’t need to know why)

I’m caught equally between Markiplier and Game Grumps.

109: A photo of myself.

You didn’t say which part of myself, so have my blanket-clad leg.

110: Do I like selfies?

No. In fact, I actually hate them…

111: Favourite game app?

Fuck, I don’t really play phone apps anymore. Severed was pretty awesome. I’d play it again.

112: My relationship with my parents?

Mom is dead, hard to have a relationship there. I speak with my dad regularly, but he’s an asshole so I try to avoid him as much as possible.

114: A place I have not been but wish to visit?

Italy. Either Florence or Venice. I’d think it’d be really fun, really cool. I wanna see all the great works of art and the architecture.

115: Favourite number?

Two. It’s my lucky number.

116: Can I juggle?

Kinda? I practice occasionally, so I can do it haltingly.

117: Am I religious?

Nope.

118: Do I like space?

Are… are we talking outer space? Or just having space? I like both…..

119: Do I like the deep ocean?

Hell yeah, weird creatures are amazing.

120: Am I much of a daredevil?

Yes and no? I need a push usually when trying something new but relatively tame (like rollerblading), but I find myself making the really outlandish suggestions (like skydiving) before everyone else

121: Am I allergic to anything?

Hohoho BOY, AM I. I’m allergic to a fuckin’ lot. Here’s a list: Celery, carrots, avocados, tree nuts, jicama, latex, and more…..

122: Can I curl my tongue?

Yep.

123: Can I wiggle my ears?

Nope.

124: Do I like clowns?

Writing a Roadrat fanfic and making a late B-Day present for Mike, as well as doing a couple pieces of art for my friends.

Kinda? If it’s an argument, yes. If it’s a game, nah.

128: Do I admit when I wrong?

Yes BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN PROVE IT.

129: Forest or beach?

Forest. The salt from the beach makes me carsick on the ride home. :C

130: Favourite piece of advice?

I don’t have a favorite? All advice is good advice.

131: Am I a good liar?

Yeah, unfortunately. Grew up lying to keep out of trouble.

132: Hogwarts house / Divergent faction / Hunger Games district?

Hold up, let me take some quizzes. I already know that Pottermore put me in Slytherin. I haven’t ever read or watched the Divergent series, but this quiz says I’m Erudite (that doesn’t really mean anything to me….). I’ve taken a shit ton of quizzes for my Hunger Games district, and they all came up different, but 7 came up twice, so I guess 7.

133: Do I talk to myself?

You know it.

134: Am I very social?

Not very. I don’t like new people and I don’t talk much.

135: Do I like gossip?

Nah.

136: Do I keep a journal/diary?

Not particularly, at least not regularly.

137: Have I ever hopelessly failed a test?

Yes….. I don’t remember which test, but there’ve been a couple.

138: Do I believe in second chances?

Yes. But I’m reluctant to hand them out, and you only get that one extra chance.

139: If I found a wallet full of cash on the ground, what would I do?

Turn it in to whatever place I found it, if it was inside. If it was outside, I’d try to find an identifying number I can call to hand it over.

140: Do I believe people are capable of change?

Yes. But I think it takes some major events to bring it about. It’s hard to change if you just say you’re gonna, and it takes a lot of time and determination. It’s more likely that something major would happen in their life and change them.

141: Have I ever been underweight?

No. Always liked food.

142: Am I ticklish?

Yes. My feet and that really annoying spot just above my knees….

143: Have I ever been in a submarine?

Nnnnope.

Yep. I have 7, all in my ears.

148: Which fictional character do I wish was real?

Fucking Alucard please, gimme that blood-thirsty vampire.

149: Do I have any tattoos?

150: What is the best decision I have made in life so far?

To start taking care of myself first before I start caring for others.

151: Do I believe in Karma?

Kinda. I believe in it but I don’t let it affect my decisions.

152: Do I wear glasses or contacts?

Neither, though I should be wearing glasses. I haven’t been to an optometrist in about 4 or 5 years. I used to wear contacts, but I gave that up ‘cause they’re expensive.

153: What was my first car?

1997 Acura CL 3.0. I’m still driving it. Great car. Though mine’s a little banged up, had a tree fall on it awhile back and ran over a road sign that tore off the bumper and popped one of my tires.

154: Do I want children?

Nah. Not particularly. Or if I do ever decide to get kids, I’d like to adopt.

155: Who is the most intelligent person I know?

That’s kinda subjective. People are intelligent on different subject matters, so I don’t really have a “most” intelligent person I know.

156: My most embarrassing memory?

Nothing happy, and nothing I’m putting up on Tumblr.

157: What makes me nostalgic?

Brains. I don’t really care for appearance.

Black (easy to hide sweat, I get super active unexpectedly sometimes)

161: Have I ever had a paranormal experience?

I’m sure I have, I just can’t remember it.

Physically? My chest. The rest? I hate the fact that I’m tired all the time.

163: What do I love most about myself?

I don’t really have anything I love about myself…?

164: Do I like adventure?

Yes. I love adventure. It’s great and exciting and fun

165: Do I believe in fate?

I suppose. I don’t really think much on it.

166: Favourite animal?

Wasn’t this asked before? I’ll do fantastic beast instead (not the movie). I really love dragons. They can almost literally be anything, any size, shape, and color. And they’re just really great creatures.

167: Have I ever been on radio?

Nah

168: Have I ever been on TV?

Nope.

169: How old am I?

20, about to be 21. My birthday is Groundhog Day.

170: One of my favourite quotes?

”Quoth the Raven ‘Nevermore’.” (I really just like that whole poem, it flows)

171: Do I hold grudges?

Yes, but not for long. If I have a long-standing grudge against you, you must’ve really fucked up, my friend.

172: Do I trust easily?

Yes and no? I trust people easily, but I don’t give out information about myself as easily, almost never actually.

173: Have I learnt from my mistakes?

Some of them, yeah.

174: Best gift I’ve ever received?

A hug. Seriously, no one believes me when I say I just want a hug for a gift, but a good hug is the best thing ever.

175: Do I dream?

Yeah, but not often, not that I remember.

176: Have I ever had a night terror?

Yes……

178: An experience that has made me stronger?

My mom told me to kill myself in one of our fights once. Really fucked me up mentally, but not much bothers me since.

179: If I were immortal, what would I do?

I dunno, the same stuff I’m doing now. I doubt immortality would give me the motivation to suddenly get up and do stuff…..

180: Do I like shopping?

No.

181: If I could get away with a crime, what would I choose to do?

MURDER, I HAVE A LIST.

182: What does “family” mean to me?

The people that I let close to me, not particularly bound by blood.

183: What is my spirit animal?

Woooolf. Probably. I mean, how the hell am I supposed to know?

184: How do I want to be remembered?

That crazy dude who nice but weird and went on crazy adventures and made crazy good sculptures.

185: If I could master one skill, what would I choose?

Time-management. That’s a skill, right? I need to master that.

186: What is my greatest failure?

Not being able to help my mom.

Making it through high school alive. (That’s not a joke)

188: Love or money?

Love. I don’t particularly care about being rich.

189: Love or career?

Career. I do care about loving my career and being happy with what I do. I’m more of an independent person anyway.

ANYWHERE IN THE LATE 1700′S TO EARLY 1800′S LITERALLY ANYWHERE

191: What makes me the happiest?

My dogs and my best friend. They are the greatest.

192: What is “home” to me?

I don’t have a “home” right now. I have places I sleep.

193: What motivates me?

I don’t really have motivation…. One of my many problems……..

194: If I could choose my last words, what would they be?

Fuck

195: Would I ever want to encounter aliens?

I dunno, maybe? If they’re more towards being friendly and helpful instead of trying to harvest this world’s resources like all the movies portray them to do.

196: A movie that scared me as a child?

None. I had no fear as a kid, I developed that in my late teens.

197: Something I hated as a child that I like now?

Brussel sprouts are really fuckin’ tasty

198: Zombies or vampires?

Vampires. I prefer my immortal friends not to be rotting out in the heat and to stay up all night with me without asking for brains.

199: Live in the city or suburbs?

Suburbs. I hate the crowdedness and clutter of the city.

200: Dragons or wizards?

DRAGONS I CHOOSE DRAGONS PLEASE I WOULD LITERALLY GO AROUND KILLING ALL THE WIZARDS JUST TO GET A SINGLE DRAGON

201: A nightmare that has stayed with me?

Too dark for the internet. Involves death followed by murder followed by skinning people.

202: How do I define love?

I don’t know, that’s the trouble with it. I don’t know how to define love.

203: Do I judge a book by its cover?

Nah. Maybe a bit by first impressions, but that’s why I let people have chances.

204: Have I ever had my heart broken?

Yes.

205: Do I like my handwriting?

No, it’s not pretty, but I’m happy that it’s legible.

206: Sweet or savoury?

Fuck. Fuck. I’m stuck between the two. Do I have to choose???? Uhhhhh. UUUUUH. I… I suppose savory. I can get sick of sweet, but I don’t think I can get sick of savory.

207: Worst job I’ve had?

I worked for my dad for a bit, and then he undid all my work. Not an official job, does it count?

Bones. I have a small collection of bones (mostly teeth and skulls)

209: Item of clothing or jewellery you’ll never see me without?

I don’t have anything I’ve kept on me for long periods of time. I mean, I guess I’m starting to keep this ring and necklace on a lot, but nothing before these and these were in the past month or so.

210: What is on my bucket list?

I don’t really have a bucket list, I don’t really plan for things…. I just kinda take life as it comes at me.

211: How do I handle anger?

I bottle it up and wait for it to die down before going back and revisiting whatever made me angry.

212: Was I named after anyone?

Nah.

213: Do I use sarcasm a lot?

Do I use sarcasm a lot. Hmmm. Lemme think on it…. Nah, can’t say that I do. (Yes, I use it a whole lot XD)

214: What TV character am I most like?

Ah geez, you want me to start comparing TV characters to myself? I barely even watch TV! I dunno…..

215: What is the weirdest talent I have?

I can make a bunch of weird faces that either usually scare my friends or make them laugh. I dunno if that’s a talent, though….

216: Favourite fictional character?

Alucard. First character I really fell in love with, really…..

Are you happy, anon? This took me two days.Two days (mostly because I sleep a lot but still). This is like the ask list of all ask lists. I don’t even know if there are any more that have questions I haven’t answered. You guys know me better than most of my friends! I’m gonna be off ask lists for awhile. You wanna know something about me, drop an ask in my inbox without a number….

#anon #get to know me #mother of all asks #god this is long #fuck
