Hold on a minute im having emotions abt undertale
#i was gonna fall asleep to some of the chill tracks from the ost so i hit up YouTube for a good compilation#but the top comment was abt leitmotifs & like. i knew they were a big part of undertales music#but ig i always interpreted it as a way to show things are related or connected? like asgore & toriels themes showing theyre connected#but the comment was like 'characters themes are present in places they appear. no matter where when or how despite everything its still you#like idk y that hit me so hard bc obv the game quote 'despite everything its still you' says the same thing#but paired w the new perspective on the ost & the idea that each characters theme is like a consistent core of who they are#just thinkin bout the unchanging themes represent the most substantial core of the characters & how even w whatever happens their#most central traits & identities dont change. they dont became different ppl they just grow.#abt how their theme seeps into themes of characters/places they are around/in.... everyone impacts everyone & everything else#re: the first point. makes me think more in a 'you thought this part of you was gone but its still in there'#like irl example for clarity: i often feel younger me who had potential in school is a different person than me now#but both are in fact me. i think the other version is gone & i can never have that back. but despite everything its still me. its not gone.#im making no sense! its 8 a.m and i haven't slept#the idea that you have a consistent infallible core of ur being thats just purely YOU. and that will always BE you.#even when you think youve lost it. even if bad things happen. you will always be you even if you fear youve grown into being someone else
