Why is frisk dumping the ice bucket on grillby won't that hurt him??

I've seen some confusion about this in the comments and tags, so in retrospect I can see how this standalone render isn't super readable. I should have also probably mentioned that the Sans animation is a continuation of a bunch of other ones, which I will link below for full context.

Time to explain the deep lore of the cursed spaghetti!

I'll start off by clarifying that it's not an ice bucket, but a questionable mixture of chemically contaminated spaghetti, hot dogs, ketchup and a knife, which Frisk decided to get rid of by dumping it on Grillby's head to burn it.

They have basically given up on salvaging this horrific dish, and will probably just get the Undetale equivalent of McDonalds or something with their monster friends.

This spaghetti (if we can still call it that) is the result of many failed cooking attempts with Papyrus, Alphys and Undyne.

It also includes a knife signed by Mettaton, because... why not!

And don't worry, Grillby seems completely cool with it (pun not intended). His flames are strong enough to melt everything, and to be honest, it's probably for the best haha!

For context, watch:

Part 1 (with Papyrus), Part 2 (Mettaton) and Part 3 (Alphys and Undyne).

1 How do these Caine transformations work, is it slow and painful, or is it a quick thing (Jax's for example) and how did he react to seeing himself like that?

2 Jax still does, even in that form, he still continues to be playful sometimes? And then there are also adventures for them to distract their minds?

Caine likes to take his time when it comes to 'designing' his circus cast. The process of transformation is slow and drawn out, as Caine rearranges and adds onto his newest creation. It's all trial and error.

(Using jax as an example here) caine will elongate, stretch, shrink, ect. as he goes along, one limb at a time. Ofc he can perform acts that wouldn't be possible in the real world as it's digital so he has some liberties.

For the first ask's second question; adventures are moreso 'field tests'. Caine throws his cast into a predicament to test their abilities and how they will overcome whatever he throws at them. This isn't as common as in canon, though

And for the second asks second question, Ragatha had been 'wretchified' before Jax arrived to the circus. Both she and Kaufmo tried to keep him hidden as long as possible, only prolonging his determined fate.

Crash Course in When Broadcast Shows Air

If a show airs in the fall:

It will start airing sometime between late August and early October. Typically it's going to be in September (911 normally is) but some vary.

It will typically go on midseason break sometime between early November and mid-December. 911 normally is late November/early December.

Shows then return from midseason break around March. (There's some exceptions to this depending on the structure of the networks schedule and the number of episodes in a show's season. 911 is not one of those exceptions.)

If a show is airing in the midseason:

These shows normally start airing in January. They have normally have a smaller break in the middle. I want to say like 4-8 weeks (but truthfully I don't follow midseason like I do regular season so that's off 911 and what I vaguely remember from other shows).

Both fall start and midseason start tend to end in May depending on the number of episodes.

Not every show follows these perfectly, though. Like I said, number of episodes tends to be a factor. Also there's seasons affected by real world things (pandemics and strikes) so they don't follow a normal format.

Shows are also affected by production and events (awards, sports, holidays) so sometimes there's potentially other weeks off throughout the season.

had a very funny experience where someone rb'd a vaguely ship flavored post of mine with smth like "i love a good bromance" and because i get unjustifiably defensive every time someone uses that term (and also bc i like doing this sometimes) i went to their blog to like snoop around a bit and below a couple of posts of calling them bromanced up in the tags there's fanart of them kissing with tongue and i had to pause bc like. shit my bad there cowboy you're not in homophobic denial you do just genuinely love a good bromance

her name is navia and she's the daughter of tiana and naveen

(her name could probably start with a 't' if i really thought of one but when i created her, i decided to just blend tiana and naveen's names together. however i really like navia for her so it's sticking idc)

here are some things that i just threw together to show her vibe (outfits and colors on the left and sample hairstyles on the right)

😇- What's their best trait?

👿- What's their worst trait?

for Tuesday and Chuu

“Miss Chuu’s best trait? Mmm… You said this is an interview for your retelling of the Warriors of Light and their journey, right? I’d say it’s her unshakeable resolve. She decides she’s going to do something, and she doesn’t give up until it’s done. Ah… I’m not allowed to speak more on Miss Chuu without her presence, my apologies, mister Levraut.”

“You broke into my house,”

“Your lovely wife let me in actually,”

“To wake me up from my nap and interrogate me on my assistant,”

“Interview, Mademoiselle, not interrogate. Though I am sorry for waking you, your eyes were open so I assumed-”

“Ah-ta-ta. You wanted to know Two’s best trait right? Adaptability. Any environment, any obstacle… he’s got brains enough to figure the way through most anything. And failing that? He knows a top notch engineer in Magitek to kit him with the right tools to overcome his few shortcomings. Hey wait did you fucking call me a mad gazelle, you lop-eared scab?!”

“Thank you for your time, both of you. I have just one more question before I consider this interview complete and I let you both go back to your.. erm, busy schedules. What would you say is each others weakest trait?”

“I knew it! This IS an interrogation! Two, don’t-”

“Ah, that would be Miss Chuu’s paranoia, mister Levraut. Most of her other traits net positive gain,”

“Watch your mouth, Two.”

“That is.. ah, her paranoid trait has served to pull her out of many situations she would have landed in had they not afforded her foresight and caution to approach most situations.”

“Two’s worst trait is how I just can’t seem to keep mad at him when he finds and exploits loopholes in whatever rules I’ve set for him. And last week I asked him to bring me lunch, and he was nowhere to be seen for nearly six bells.”

“… Miss Chuu, if I may, you were in Azys La, and you called me via Linkpearl to bring you specifically egg sandwiches from the Bismark, even utilizing the Aethernet it takes time… and when I arrived at your last marked location you were nowhere to be found.”

(Just to make sure I understand the muse correctly: So Lucid was created after Lucifer’s fall so he’s younger than the others? Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel Morningstar? And Lucid is a clone, but does he know that? Or does he think he was just created that way and happens to resemble Michael & L? Sorry if they’re dumb questions.)

Lucid was indeed created after Lucifer’s fall. The first humans left the Garden of Eden 10,000 years ago and Lucid was created between 5,000-6,000 years ago from the same stardust and light of the Morningstar/Eveningstar (Venus).

Sera, the council, and the archangels raised Lucid in secret from the rest of Heaven and absolutely made it known to him he was made in Lucifer’s image. Many of the archangel brothers either avoid him and when they do interact there is clear awkwardness and usually reluctance to having him around. Sera and his brothers reiterate the tales of Lucifer’s pride and tricking humanity into eating the Fruit of Knowledge.

They basically use Lucifer as a fear tactic in attempting to “keep Lucid on the right path” aka “Obey Their Word.” It is so easy to see pre fall Lucifer in Lucid and many of them fear that. Depending on the verse, once Lucid had a bit of a fit with how much he is restricted from doing with his powers and tried to prove to the council he can do more. To stop him, Michael swiped his spear across his chest before driving it through Lucid’s shoulder to pin him against a wall. The archangel warned him that should the council ever deem the younger seraph a threat, he will not be cast out of Heaven like Lucifer but killed on the spot. If Sera gives Michael that order, he will follow it.

So yup! Lucid is greatly aware he is a clone and has hella anxiety due to the heavy restrictions placed on him, basically confined from the rest of Heaven and kept as a “dirty secret”, and most the people he does have interactions either avoid him or tolerate him (verse dependent of course. There are brothers who do love Lucid and treat him kindly).

[shalom-iamcominghome]

Hello Shalom! I hope you're having a good day.

I am a lurker on your blog, seeing someone finding so much belonging in another people brings me joy. I'm sending this because of the post in which you were worried you were a philosemite and to be honest it is a worry that has crossed my mind as well as someone who enjoy tumblr content, conversion blogs and enjoyed learning about Jewish cultures and (I hope) becoming a better ally to Jews.

So, my question would be, what is a philosemite and how not to be one? /gen

First: Thank you, I'm so pleased to know you're here - I feel honored to see you 🩵

So, philosemitism is a specific branch of antisemitism wherein people will often fetishize jewish people, jewish culture, or judaism. I call it antisemitism because - much like chasers for trans people - the problem isn't that you (impersonal) find fascination with another group of people. The problem is that you don't engage with jews and jewish culture from the standpoint of being equals, you specifically will characterize whatever it is that's gotten your attention.

With that in mind... I've been trying my best to avoid even looking like a philosemite because I don't want to be one. I think such a big part of that comes with a territory in that... having jews around you who are comfortable and speak about their experiences helps. Engaging with a jewish community has been really helpful - we talk, joke, laugh, and just... engage person-to-person, and it adds that human connection that brings you closer to others. For many philosemites, they are only happy to engage with the idea of jews but not the idea that jews are people with real feelings. So much of my desire not to be like that is being trans and being subject to many chasers (to clarify, a chaser is somebody who specifically fetishizes trans people).

For many minority groups, there are people who are only willing to engage with the minority insofar as that minority is not a person. The moment that person becomes a person, the illusion falls, and the interest is exposed as, essentially, a sham.

I worry a lot that my intentions are unclear to some, that I don't know how to expose my heart any more than it is now. I remedy that by trying to read, learn, listen, and ponder on actual jewish thought and opinion, and try to engage with as much of jewish culture as I can.

Now, to be clear, not every person with an interest in judaism, jewish culture, or allying themself with jews is a philosemite. That is wholly inappropriate to assume, and I would never apply that label broadly to any non-jew who, like you've expressed, wants to be an ally. The problem arises specifically when the tokenization and fetishization makes one believe that jews are not as human (don't have human thoughts, needs, opinions, complexities, feelings, the things that make us who we are).

[insurged]

these are just headcanons of mine, random as they are, they’re important to why gojo says or acts the way he does now. gojo’s existence wasn’t as pampered as people initially think. no one from the 3 prestigious clans had it easy nor were they treated with respect or decency, it was earned with a strong emphasis on strength and power.

gojo tends to call a lot of people and curses weak. we hear it a lot from him, mocking and being entirely brazen about it, as if announcing it to the entire world. it’s only because he’s heard it a lot himself actually when he was a little kid. while six eyes grants gojo the ability of extrasensory perception, it’s an ability he can’t turn off and as a child, it’s tiring, it’s very much a curse. rest doesn’t exist for him. he cried a lot and no one he could cry too (all kids from other clans distanced themselves from him and adults? they would tell him to stop crying, it’s weak, he’s not supposed to be weak with the power he’s been granted with). he had to learn how to “sleep” and rest with this ability and it was hard. no one could teach him any of this. so he heard the word “weak” a lot from adults and higher ups who had this extremely high expectation from him. gojo is constantly in a state where he’s stretched thin, that feeling we can all relate to when we’ve had an extremely hard day of work and traffic sucked ass and it took an hour or two just to get home and cooking dinner took just as long and it’s time to knock yourself out as soon as your head hits the pillow but only after taking a shower but then oh no, your dog is sick and you’ve lost a chunk of sleep before work the next day. does gojo ever say out loud to anyone about it, that this feeling is a 24/7 feeling? no, he doesn’t. no one can relate to it, therefore, really, it’s his own problem as it’s always been. but when he heard someone call him weak, he’d grit his teeth, clench his fist, raise his chin and used that anger to fuel his motivation. that’s why he calls others weak, it’s a challenge, it’s encouragement. he wants people to catch up to him. he wants this infinite space between him and everyone else to close. it’s his way of trying to raise others without showing any weakness on his part.

geto was gojo’s biggest wake up call and in all honesty, they let each other down in different ways. geto’s suffering and depression was not something gojo could detect. remember, gojo was quite isolated from social interactions until much later in his teens. all he’s known are individuals either berating him, having high expectations of him and being very cold about it in that regard, or those who are trying to assassinate him. he’s not developed in sensing someone else’s pain and while he did catch geto’s weight loss, he’s not experienced enough to detect that as linked with emotional pain. it was only after hearing that geto killed his own parents that gojo realized what those physical signs meant. even his hypersensitive senses couldn’t catch that emotional turmoil going on inside and the realization that being powerfully strong, being gifted with the greatest of powers, meant nothing when it came to people. his eyes should be able to see everything but it didn’t. killing geto, who he considered one of his best friends, wasn’t easy to do either and it’s not something gojo will ever talk about or bring up himself. the let down hurts, it’s guilt and anger at himself, and bittersweet memories he can’t get back. but what it did was change his priorities. killing everyone for a desire for change is not the way to go. geto lost empathy and compassion in his own suffering and while gojo can never reach that level, he wants to try, especially with the people he has left.

there are glimpses, moments when gojo becomes extremely feral or extremely cold whether he’s fighting or conversing. in one case, nanami compares gojo’s likeness to mahito in the “silliness while possessing deadly strength and power behind the smile.” really for gojo, it’s a defense mechanism. his goofiness in battle is really just his personality taking a front and to keep people lowering their guard but the feral cold side is akin to that of a calculating predator and this is really a traumatic side effect of assassins coming after him all the time when he was young. that twisted satisfaction of crushing opponents that dare to come after him just for existing, just because he has a power he never asked for and all the weight that comes with it. it’s a cathartic time for him, especially when he’s fighting and it shows through in a cruelty that surpasses his opponents.

[f-furryalert]

Hi!!! I saw that you are on art fight, and this is my first time joining and I had a few questions.

1. What is the feral species ??

I've tried to look it up but I just haven't found an explanation that makes sense to me..

2. Do I have to make the attacks in the style of my teams theme? Like if I'm stardust should it be space-like?

3. Do I make all new OC's for the character slots, or can I use my already existing ones?

Also, I've looked through some of your art and ITS SO COOL!! If you don't have time to answer that's okay, but if you do thank you so much for the help🫶

oh hi !! i hope your first art fight goes awesome !! this is also going to be my first one even though I joined last year , I couldn't work on anything last year lol but okay so heres some simple answers: 1: If you were looking at my card and are specifically talking about the 'Feral' section I marked down , it basically meansss animals. Animals on four legs specifically , like a normal cat or dog. Think of Warrior Cats if you know that series. Feral basically means a normal animal unlike Anthro and can be literally any species , while anthros are more animal-like characters who walk on two legs instead , like Furries. 2: Nope ! Art Fight themes are just something fun. You don't have to style your attacks to the theme at all , or you can if you'd like to. It really just depends on what you want your attacks to look like ! 3: You can do both ! The character slots are for your ocs in general , new or old. You can make new characters if you'd like for Art Fight , but if you'd like people to draw your current ocs you are just as welcomed to upload them as well. Art Fight is for all ocs , it really just depends on which characters you want to upload to the website. and ty !! all of the art on this tumblr acc is pretty old and im not the proudest , but i upload more of my recent art on my art fight if that was where you were looking or not lol but yeah ! hope you have fun this season !

where did you get that image of idats gf?? she is so pretty oh my lord

HIIIIIIIIIII im sorry for taking a thousand years to answer this but god that image is legitimately such a mystery to me. this is gonna sound insane but i discovered it on a site called lpsg.com which i just found out mintues ago stands for 'large penis support group' and, incredibly and unsurprisingly, was one of the first sites that popped up when i googled idat for the 1st time. from what ive seen its basically a place for gay & bisexual men to talk abt hot youtubers & share images of them & speculate abt their dick sizes but im sure it serves other purposes as well. but this is where it gets rly weird: when you cross search the image from the website (where it was posted with no caption and for the sole purpose of showcasing idat's abs) it leads to absolutely no other source than the website itself so i genuinely am like at my wits end as to where they couldve found the photo but im also not insane enough to try to find that out myself.

and so yeah right after discovering it i kinda accepted that it was his girlfriend bc thats what i saw the other users assume as well so i basically moved on and slowly forgot all abt the picture up until a few days ago when i found an ancient screencap i took from one of idat's videos and almost had a heart attack at the realization it might not be his girlfriend but his sister .

which yeah would make sense his parents are chinese-born russians & they do look alike plus she looks rly similar to idats mom plus the chin shape is like practically the same. so for me thats as close to being confirmed as it gets but then again the fact that the og image came from some sort of vacuum doesnt help either but yeah. whoever that is she is very pretty

[absentia-if]

I’ve gotten a few asks in regard to scenario asks and I thought I’d just answer it in an overall post. As I know some people are new to this blog and may not know. 

Do I answer scenario asks? Absolutely! It may take me a bit to do so, but I will absolutely answer scenario asks if someone sends it in. 

Can we send them in whenever we’d like? Or is there a specific day? Whenever! You can send some in right now, and I’ll do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. Don’t hesitate in doing so, I absolutely love interacting with you all!

Do you answer NSFW asks? I do, within reason, and if I don’t feel comfortable answering something I’ll either not answer it or I will simply post it to say that I’m not comfortable answering those types of questions. 

All in all, you’re all more than welcome to send me anything, within reason, because there’s no harm in simply asking me a question. Plus, you’ll never know unless you try! I’m always happy to answer scenario asks, and everything they entail, because it helps me get into the mindset of my characters. 

Thank you all for being here! I truly appreciate it.

Did you plan Gatito from start to end before publishing? Did you intend to be this long?

The simple answer is yes. I've always known how Gatito would start, how it would end, and the key plot points in between.

What I didn't know six years ago, however, was how well the story would be received. The fandom was very different back then, and EngSpa was rather scarce, to say the least. Realising that the interest was there, I saw an opportunity to expand upon this thing I'd created, and commit to a longer piece.

Gatito's length boils down to a few factors (some very personal), but these in particular:

Honestly, I struggle to write long chapters. A better writer could've condensed them, but a better writer I am not.

There are ends to tie up before Gatito is concluded, and I stand by addressing them all. There's no use rushing now when we've already strolled this long, right?

Certain characters did express in the latest chapter that events are coming to a close, which is true. To that end, I say enjoy the ride.

weird question. but in ur opinion, what major would tim do at college? I was thinking comp sci but making him a business major would be so funny

good question! to be honest.. i want to say it’s difficult to pin down any one major he’d choose, especially because i feel like he’s not exactly academically inclined, at least if he’s doing vigilante stuff? school was always a big issue for him hence him dropping out to focus on The Mission and that seems like All He Is Doing right now thank you dc editorial. but if he isn’t… comp sci is a good choice but for me, i lean towards maybe something like mechanical engineering? or electrical engineering? kinda feel like he has comp sci in the bag already from having to learn it/having learned it in his time as a vigilante (largely due to babs im sure!)

but mechanical or electrical engineering just because of how much stuff he created for his suit when he was robin and how he was always reconfiguring redbird and messing with all of it. although where those skills and that degree could be applied is Another Question Entirely. my best guess is — and this is probably super basic — with WE? or maybe if we want to have a little fun. somewhere like kord industries. or even STAR labs. or maybe a teaching position? could see him being down for that as he gets older

a little more indulgent would be photography but even if not a major i would like to think he at least minors in it or something!

business major would be SO funny because he would be miserable the entire time. i think.

but yeah! he’s just. idk. probably hates prerequisites. probably wants to take ten classes at once. he’d really need to slow down i think which is the goal. ultimately. for me. in any case This got very long my bad <3 i’m just. fascinated by him and his mysterious future
