#i hope this got it out of my system

[nullwindd]

so.

finally finished undertale red and yellow 2.0. (I say that knowing fully well it was only announced almost two days ago) and it was fucking incredible??? i played the original back a few months ago but.

I will always stand by this characterization of clover and chara and OOOH I loved all the parts where frisk sorta joined in. Like in the elevators in hotland or some other part I can't remember where it said they did a thumbs up. I love this trio. but I'd also like to talk about cocoapowder because if I thought I liked them before. MAN.

the way you can slowly see chara's sort of abrasive nature which is a little genuine at first turn to being a casual teasing and friendly banter between them and clover. the way some of clovers thinking starts to rub off onto chara and chara starts to acknowledge how nice offering support is and how it does genuinely help. the way that clover is sometimes forced to confront the other side of the argument and that not EVERYTHING is positive which is also a good thing to think about. clovers insistence on the journey mattering more than the ending, and chara refusing that until after the asriel fight where they talk about how they wish they could've seen how clovers journey went as much as they liked watching frisk's. also clover repeatedly talking about how much they like charas smile. charas clear upset after the asriel fight but they shove aside their hurt at them thinking clover is gone for frisks sake. just. all of it. wonderful.

and saving clover in the asriel fight??? awesome. I may have died once but I got there. i loved all the imagery and the way their check status changed from Executioner, to Judge, to Jury as they accept that they aren't necessarily responsible for doing anything and it separates themselves more from their justice and that they dont have to do everything themselves! thats not exactly what I was trying to say but I've been writing a lot recently and the words aren't coming to me. however. very cool. also the way you can see their fears in the fight. clover characterization.

and I haven't even talked about all the extra side content like my personal favorite the el bailador recorder rhythm game portion?? best 4 minutes of 2025 nothing will peak that. some of the other stuff like new home (the picture is making me insane) and the kanako portion in true lab was also sick. my playtime on my pacifist save ended up being 9 hours and 30 mintutes ish when the original red and yellow was around 4-5ish hours. i really. really needed to see every bit of dialogue i could.

i don't know how to end this off but I was live posting in my discord every single room almost their dialogue despite a promise that I'd only do it for dialogue I thought was REALLY cool so if that isn't telling I don't know what is. i just wanted to rant somewhere about the traumatized children mod

if I don't see a good ut red and yellow fic within the next few months, after I finish writing the current thing I'm working on. its so over.

Sacred moments in time.

Halsin, despite being the scholar he is, can't seem to pay attention to any of the words on the page. All focus is on the slender, steady hands braiding his hair. On the closeness.

Nobody's taken care of him, before.

It's nice.

Nice catch! :]

Here's a very self indulgent and low effort drawing I made in an attempt to keep my sanity lol

i cannot ever get over gi-hun actually. the fact that he chooses to believe in the good of humanity even after witnessing what he has, and that he joins the games AGAIN with (mathematically) even LESS chances of survival JUST because he wants to save people, people who DON'T CARE, people who are SELFISH and who continuously betray and hurt him just fucking KILLS ME. a very big critique from many people (and i've noticed, especially men) about the second season and gi-hun's character is that he is stupid. they find him to be stupid that he has this weak spot for an uncaring crowd, that he comes back to the games to save people who wouldn't think of him twice, instead of going to his daughter. they think that him caring and despising a system this deeply is a sign of weakness and stupidity.

but if anything, i find it admirable. maybe i can't bring myself to hate him because i think i'd do the same thing. i watch him on-screen and think, "yeah, i would do that too", every single mistake, every single thing, i get him. and he may look stupid to some but i think if anything, he's just too caught up in an ideal world in which people care, but i find it admirable that this is his personality even after witnessing the previous games. he still has hope, they haven't wiped it away from him. comparing him to in-ho is like night and day, because in-ho was broken by the games and came back to perpetuate that same hurtful system, while gi-hun was broken by the games and came back to break the people that created the system, and the system itself.

he speaks to me, as an individual who clings to hope until his very last breath, who can never seem to learn from his mistakes because he is so stubborn, he wants to prove that humanity could, and should, have hope and that it's worth to fight for it, not to just leave for a different continent and forget about it. that's what draws me to him, this endless fight in him, i can't find him stupid because he's so desperate to change things. and he never gives up even after his friends die before him.

idk i just am really unwell about gi-hun. i think people treat him too harshly. i'm unsure how well this is worded, but what i really want to say is that i don't think he should be perfect and immediately learn from every single mistake he has ever made. the fact that he is this broken given his past, even before the games he's set up as this really caring and traumatized individual, and that they double down on his same characteristics that make him so incredibly real... he's just really special to me. i really admire the way he is written and i think he's a really good representation of people who fight for a change even when it all seems lost. he's just that kind of guy that doesn't, couldn't, will never give up. and i really love that.

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

I've got original lore brainrot, which isn't an actual aliment but might as well be. Though, I'm not sure what my health is doing right now, either. Waiting for an appointment for one problem whilst the other cooks a little longer in the anxiety oven. If things don't return to normal soon, I'll disappear into discord and finally rp there. I love Tumblr, but limiting things to a few mutuals would make managing things easier, especially as someone who does want to do long-form plotted threads. Anyway, just an update for now 🩷
