ENTRY NUMBER ELEVEN.

Who are they?

Note: It's not X!Kris and it's not XI, as many have mistakenly assumed. XI is not canon and was simply a joke that went on for a bit too long, everything related to XI has been taken down. As for the former, there's no such thing as XTale Kris and Jakei had to repeatedly correct people due to the misconception.

Their attire is very atypical for a child their age, they have a purple necklace of ambiguous shape, and seem to have at least a half of XGaster's SOUL, judging by their pupils. While it's possible for XGaster to create an artificial SOUL of a red trait, the same cannot be said for his own trait. And they couldn't have had the SOUL itself (or even a part of it) in their possession at any point during XTale. The glimpse we get of them is from the future. However, given the lines "GET READY" and" YOUR TIME IS COMING", it must mean that they've already existed by that point in some shape or form, albeit soulless.

It must've been created prior to timeline IX and saved to the infamous 'data compilation' for later use.

And yes, created. Their hair don't match anyone's, although X!Chara comes very close. It's unlikely that he OVEWROTE someone. Despite XGaster's intimidation last episode, X!Chara would only be used as a puppet at best. Same goes for X!Frisk.

Thanks to his shenanigans, we know that a human body can contain a SOUL of another human within it. This cohabitation reflects in the subject's appearance.

But what happens when a monster's SOUL is tied to a human body? See, the wording here is quite interesting. With the SOUL and body of a monster. Does it entail that other combinations are viable? Well, from what I'm seeing, they must be. Now, the question stands: for what grand purpose were they created? And why do they share a SOUL with XGaster? Perplexed by their outfit, I had an epiphany.

They have his SOUL, his outfit—it's like they serve to be his vessel. The line "AS CLEAR AS A REFLECTION IN A MIRROR" also gives me that idea. It may simply be an expression, but that's quite uncharacteristic of him, even though he tends to be cryptic about things. There could be more to it than meets the eye.

Y'know, no matter how unpleasant something may be, XGaster is always willing to sacrifice his and others' comfort for the 'bright future'. We've seen what lengths he would go to when chasing his visions. What if the 'perfect world' required him to abandon his current shell and don human flesh? He'd comply. What if he intended to replace Frisk, the 'player' of that world?

This bit can be taken as a callback to the fact that he tried to off himself back in timeline 0 and is still in immense pain as shown in 0.7-2..

Or as reincarnation. And after looking around, turns out that there's also a secret in the 2 black frames that come after this sequence!

By tweaking the brightness and contrast, you see a very fuzzy silhouette. Well, isn't that interesting?

Also, fun fact, if you speed up the entry clip by 666%, you'll get this theme.

The theme plays at 27:50 during entry 19.

And I might be going coocoo at this point, but hear me out on this one.

XGaster's birthday is on 11/11. The entry is number 11. This gotta count for something, right? There are 11 videos in the XTale playlist, so his might as well be considered 11th. Matches up with his birthday date, doesn't it?

Anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk

I just bought all your Arcane prints and I cannot wait to put them up on my wall, I don't see anyone do it like you and I'm so grateful for your work ;w; Would you ever draw anymore of those "fake" polaroids in the future?

OMG,. that was you? 🥹 Thank you so much, I don't even know what to say!!

You're actually not the first one to ask me that lmao, but I'll be honest, I don't exactly have any ideas for polaroids, but I am trying to see if I can draw some tin type/daguerreotype portraits of Jayce and Viktor (y'know, those very old black/white photos) so I can get prints of them and put them up in round frames on my wall and display them like they're old diseased family members... -But that of course doesn't mean polaroids are out of the question!

Thank you once again for the support and the kind words, it means so so much to me, you have no idea! ❤️

Monkey MK: "There's something inside you, that you can't control. You know what you are, deep down. A beast, a monster—harbinger of chaos! This thing, that wants to hurt, that wants to destroy, that wants chaos! You're so terrified to let it out! But the truth is, you like it. It makes you feel strong. It's who you are!"

(5x04 The Storm Within)

Nine: "No, I told you, I get out either way! But, I have had enough of control, enough of watching people put themselves in cages! Of...watching them push away the chaos, when the chaos is what makes them who they are!"

Charles Rowland, #34, Backliner

An excerpt from the popular exy blog, Don't Be Daft:

From Striker to Backliner

Charles Rowland has not always been an exy player. In fact, until he was 16, Rowland thought he would be a cricketer. Indeed, at the time of his attendance he was an essential contributor to the success of his cricket team at St. Hilarion's School for Boys.

However, the trajectory of Rowland's life shifted when some teammates of his took their taunting too far. Rowland was out of commission for a few weeks. In turn, he lost his passion for the sport he had grown up playing.

After his release from hospital, Rowland took up a new hobby—and racquet—joining his school's exy youth club, the St. Hilarion Hellraisers, as a backliner. Though he didn't see the court much, as he was still on the mend, Rowland found time to hone his skills between studies and Hellraiser practice. By graduation, Rowland had secured a spot as a backliner for the University of London, Fortismere.

The ULF Ghosts are often referred to by their nickname, the University of the Lost and Found, but the Ghosts don't shy away from their sobriquet. Inspired by the leadership of David Wymack of the Palmetto State University Foxes—as well as that of Kayleigh Day, who brought the sport over to the UK—the coaches of the ULF Ghosts give those from difficult backgrounds the opportunity to play on their team, and on the Gravelpit Court.

Unlike most uni students, exy players in the UK spend five years at their university to match those in the States.

"It's only fair we're at the same skill level as the Americans if we go pro, yeah?" says Rowland, currently in his third year. "And if that means getting to spend more time with my mates and more time on the court, I don't see a downside."

Triple Baka redraw but with the men that have altered the chemical balance of my brain… not only is there 2 of them, there’s 4 now. Got a heavy art project in mind so I thought to do something fun.

(Hopefully I matched the quality of the og image below, along with a bonus doodle!)

endlessly amused by cries of "you can’t ship them, it’s practically incest!" about two unrelated (adoptive or biological) fictional characters. because honey definitionally it is not. but i can make it incest. i can make them related. i think they might like it more if they were. it would certainly be hotter in any case.
