Arctictale: Undyne and Mad Mew Mew

Undyne and Mad Mew Mew. Undyne; Captain of the Royal Guard, Leader of the K-9 Unit and RG 01-04. She mostly patrols through Waterfall, watching over the small residency there and making sure no one has fallen in the icy cold waters. She not hunting humans in this AU, though she's willing to fight anyone who wants to offer her a challenge. Her suit allows her to swim through the icy cold water with ease, and also technically allows her to swim through boiling waters if that issue were to ever arise. Mad Mew Mew is also here, How I introduced her before Blooky, I'm not sure... Oops. Well, she's here as well. Mostly provides Hype for the residence of Waterfall. Whether that be promoting her cousins Mettaton and Napstablook. Promoting the shops run by Gerson, or the concerts for Shyren. Or supporting Undyne who she has a habbit of fawning over, she's there to let the underground know that Waterfall should not be forgotten. That being said, she kinda avoids the Tem Shop as the Temmies weird her out. And ever since Mettaton moved to HotLand, she doesn't feel the need to help him out as much. Arctictale World: Waterfall. Glacial waters run down the side of the crater, creating rivers and lakes separating Snowdin and The Ruins from Hotland and New Home. Cottage style homes make up the residence there. Generally speaking, it's a quieter and more tranquil area, for those looking to enjoy more time to themselves. Just need to stay vigilant, don't wat to slip and fall into any bodies of water. To date, there have been 7 recorded incidents of people falling into the waters, and of the seven only one has survived. Enjoy~ Undertale © Toby Fox Arctictale © Me

The logbook is soooo funny, what the hell is happening there? I’m not even talking about the lore implications, I just mean why does it exist and why are the prompts in the book like that?

Like, pages are covered in blood, it’s a children’s book. It’s got spooky writing about how the writer is scared and dead and can’t see and it’s an activity book for kids. Who is buying their children activity books that contains a section where they write their end of life preferences??

It also has that FNaF style of humor where it’s like “Thought about how you aren’t doing what you wanted with your life? Write it here!” Or “Make a list if your favorite things and also consider making this page in to a legally binding will!” Which is all stuff that lots of kids probably wouldn’t think was funny. (Edited to add because I just had to say this ig) It’s a very tired employee style of humor, not a lot of 7 year olds will relate.

But it’s definitely for kids, because if it was for adults or older fans then it would be set up like an actual employee handbook and not an activity book?? Whose idea was this thing? Why is it so funny???

okay, so casper and nova, right? the casper and nova game is one big metaphor for simon and betty’s relationship. and the last thing we see in it is: nova tries to sacrifice herself so casper can get what he wants, and the choices are to either go with that, or nova lives but casper forgets her. and it’s obviously meant to parallel simon and betty’s situation in come along with me after they get swallowed by golb: either betty can sacrifice herself to keep simon safe, or she doesn’t but he goes back to being ice king. (um, that is, assuming that she was correct to think they might revert to the forms they had before getting digested after exiting golb. which is not something we have any actual evidence for. it was just a possibility that occurred to her and a risk she wasn’t willing to take.)

UM. EVERY PART OF THAT WAS BECAUSE OF DECISIONS BETTY MADE INDEPENDENTLY?

betty decides to jump through the portal when simon is trying to say goodbye to her, betty decides to fix the crown and then try to find a way to cure him even after he’s told her he’d rather die than be ice king again, betty decides to fucking summon golb, betty decides to push simon out of golb before he can react at all just in case the crown goes back to its former state once it leaves and just in case there’s no way to get rid of golb without its wish magic.

IT WAS BETTYS CHOICES IT WAS BETTYS CHOICES IT WAS ALL BETTYS OWN CHOICES THAT SHE MADE IT WAS BETTY BETTY WAS THE REASON THEY WERE IN THAT SITUATION

Hi Loop! How far into The Cursing Of Château Castle are you? Do you have a favorite quote from it yet?

[A genuine smile forms on Loop's face.]

Loop: On volume two, now. It goes by a lot faster now that I'm able to read it when I want. We're still traveling, though, so I don't have a ton of free time.

[They hum, thoughtful.]

Loop: ...I don't know. It's not like it's very poignant, or anything. I like it because it's schlocky and kind of stupid. Don't tell Belle I called it that.

THE THING IS. the thing is. Mei Changsu is a creature of the winter, always — fur-collared cloaks, high-necked robes — and the thing about ice is that if it stays up high on the mountains, where glaciers watch over eons passing by from lofty mountain peaks untrodden by the footsteps of living, warm-blooded things, it can survive. but if it comes down the mountain and into the noise and clangor of the human realm, then it will melt. ice, in its crystalline perfection, is only ever granted a stay of mortality; and only when the ice melts can spring come

'Tell me, how long do I have?'

'You tell me, how long do you need?'

'Two years.'

you and etoiles are such good friends ^^ 🤭

Wow. What keen observation skills you have.

I don’t know what the infatuation is with you people and me talking to my classmates. It’s not that big of a deal.

tell me the little food habits you have that your faves would be like “you’re fucking weird” but still make sure to have them in mind the next time they give you food

[[ Starter for @needlenxggin !]]

Okay, that was definitely a first in all her times of travelling through space.

Starfire had been flying like normal, using her communicator to make sure she stayed on course while making her way back to Tamaran. Then, suddenly, she was completely thrown off course, as if an insanely strong gust of 'wind' would have hit her. She could only assume it must have been a ship passing too fast for her to even see, or perhaps even an actual attack aimed for her for some reason; but right in this moment, she couldn't really assume or think much. She completely lost control of her flight through this force pushing her, getting flung around hard enough to just spin and fall along with the force, and she could sense that she was entering an atmosphere at some point. Until the crash, she still was unable to do anything or stop herself. Needless to say that she left a huge dent in the ground, though thanks to the tamaranean sturdiness, at least she wasn't knocked out or any badly wounded.

Groaning as she got herself back up, the first thing that Starfire realized was that her communicator, which she had held in hand as whatever this was happened, did not survive the forces and all that she was holding anymore was a shattered piece of technology. Tucking it away, she lifted herself up further to now stand again, and then looked around. Starfire definitely didn't recognize the planet, but the more important part was that she was stared at. No wonder by that entrance she must have made. "I... I greet you. I do not mean harm," Starfire spoke, repeating as she was going through the languages she knew, like any tamaranean usually did when making contact with someone they didn't know what language they would speak.

@yuelun // you have nobody but yourself to blame for this actually. the rite of parting. final goodbyes, letting go & forgiveness. inspired by : this version of lovers oath.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄; while many in Liyue were saying goodbye to their Archon and wondering what the future would hold for them without Rex Lapis. Zhongli was saying goodbye to his past. While sad for many of the residents, perhaps some were even a little fearful. For him, it was bittersweet. A chapter in his story finally coming to a close. Perhaps it had been long overdue, for how long had he held on to his past, clutched tightly within the palms of his hand. So tightly, he barely lived in the present. The people had long since proven to him that they were fine on their own; they no longer needed him to hold their hand or guide them. But what of him? Holding on the way he had done; living within a memory -- he missed so many things in the here and now. It was time to truly let go. While the thought had his heart ache in ways he could not even begin to put into words, it felt right. As though now was the time he'd been waiting for all those thousands of years.

Perhaps this was where it was all supposed to end. There was a smile upon his face, Goodbyes are never truly forever, after all. It simply marks the end of one journey; making way for the beginning of another. Had she not once said that to him? Many years ago? Her voice still as fresh in his memory now, as it was back then. Her laughter echoing in his ears as he allowed himself to recall memories he usually pushed further back in his mind. Remembering a time he knew little of mortal emotions; a laugh escaped him. Causing one of the residents of Liyue to glance to him almost scornfully. "Apologies." Eyes drawn to the glaze lilies, amazed they lingered; though now scattered across the land and far more sparse than they had been.

Memories of banquets held, laughter shared; debates had. A time where things had been both much simpler, and yet entirely more complicated. Morax had to learn to navigate the ways of the mortals to truly understand them, to become the Archon they needed and the one they deserved. With her help and guidance, he had done just that. Leading their people into a prosperous future, never once forgetting any of the things that she had taught him. And neither will they. Though our names may fade from their memories in the future; this land has become what it is, in part; thanks to you, Guizhong. I hope that you would be happy with all they have achieved.

A final look to where the lilies lay, the smell of the incense in the air; not known to many, but so hauntingly familiar to him. He was at peace with his decision, more than. Zhongli had no regrets in laying his past to rest, no regrets on finally ending the chapter that had prevailed for much too long. She could rest now, as could he.

Movement caught his eye from atop a cliff; her figure there, looking down over Liyue, over them, over him. Another smile would tug at his lips, how perfectly I recall you, even now. He thought, simply a memory; one he'd had many times over the years. How befitting that she should appear to him like that on this day of all days. Thank you, Guizhong. He would remain looking at that cliff edge for a while, not daring to look away in case she would disappear. But in the goodbye, in forgiving himself, he knew he had to.

One day our paths will cross once more... until then...

And he turned away, walking slowly through the crowd and making his way out of the harbour. He would not look back, after all; that was not the point of a goodbye. No, instead; he would simply look ahead. For he had all the time in the world now to see new things, new places; experience things he had yet to experience.

And when that time came that they would be reunited; oh, how many new stories would he have to share?

I will live this life for us both.

@sansloii

Evan's not one to get cold feet over many things — much less approaching someone he didn't know — but here in the now, he felt a little differently about leaning into his almost bottomless well of confidence. What usually came to him without a second thought now kept him rooted to his spot at the bar top for just a little while longer. His still cool glass tips back against his lips once again and he just... watches the other man with a curious look in his eyes.

…Something about this one gives him pause and he isn't sure if that's a good thing or if he should leave well enough alone.

Dark eyes casually drift over to some of the other patrons and linger for maybe a moment ( or two ) before fixating on the older brunette once again. It feels a little silly to have to tell himself to get up — to give himself a little mental push in order to pull himself away from his comfortable little corner — when he was second guessing himself… but it worked and he just as casually ( or seemingly so ) closed the distance between the two of them.

“Care for some company?” he asks when close enough, the smile that eased onto his lips appearing effortless despite his lingering apprehension. ( for Gabriele! )

Long day. Shitty day. It was rare for Gabriele to unwind in bars, feeling at the rock bottom of his life during those moments, but surely, one beer couldn’t do wrong. He had been dumped by his girlfriend in the morning - well, the woman he was seeing sometimes would be a better definition - because of his lack of commitment, marking another milestone in the fact that it was impossible for him to date anyone. He had failed a few missions because of the endless incompetency of his colleagues, and now, well, he had to go back to his apartment, trapped in blocks of concrete when, today particularly, he missed his homeland. 

Yet, despite washing his sorrow away with the most detestable and tasteless beer of his life, he couldn’t help but notice a pair of curious eyes always on him. His instincts and his sense of observation couldn’t miss the everlasting ballet of that person’s irises, who seemed eager to either talk to him or do something more shady; who knew at this point. Gabriele wouldn’t encourage it nor dismiss it; whether that person truly wanted to come see him, the ball was on their side, he was only a passive player right there. 

Eventually though, he noticed a movement. He felt suddenly tensed, his mind boiling under billions of thoughts regarding a potential threat. It was out of habit after all, being an undercover agent for so many years left marks. Deep ones. However, when he looked aside, facing the radiant smile of the stranger, he had the sensation that someone was probably as lonely as he was. He hesitated for a second, parted between his urges to dwell off his own sorrows or have a bit of company. He had always despised being alone after all. 

“Sure.” Gabriele eventually invited the stranger, eyeing the stool by his side. He noticed that his drink was pretty empty. He tapped his bottle with his finger. “If you offer company, mind if I pay for another round?” And for what purpose the stranger had come to him, he hoped to be informed anytime soon.

' i can't be who you need me to be. ' for william

William frowned at Michael, they had been aguring, again, this time about what Michael was planning on doing, once he was 18, once he was a man, not just a young man.

Several answers to that cross his mind, dance on the tip of his togue as the anger at this child who dared to defy him, ruin all his good little puppe- children

"DO YOU THINK THAT'S NEWS TO ME?!" William bursted out, arm swiping in front of Michael in a fist, only a little closer and it would have hit Michael.

"Elizabeth was, Evan could have been if his head hadn't been bitten off. But no, you're the one that survived, so you're the one that has to carry on our family Michael."

William took a breath, regaining his composure and letting out a sigh.

"You're what I have left Michael, you have to be good enough." Weather you wanted to be or not, thats the unsaid but clear part.

#smile at people #a majority of the time people will smile back and you win Human Points #learn how to compliment people and do it often #Normalcy is a perspective that changes depending on who is looking but kindness and a positive attitude shows the same view to everyone #basic politeness with a little extra effort is amazingly difficult at times #but it goes MILES

Genuinely good advice from @aroace-get-out-of-my-face

can someone recommend some beginner normal behaviors for someone looking to become normal

Reposting this from a friend bc I think it is VERY important to know of this, and for immigrants, and other possible victims of the ICE Raids happening right now

Here’s to also a very huge edit, from the list of very helpful people who have been reblogging and providing more info.

I’m not as well informed but I will be relaying the information and tagging each person who added onto this post:

@onthedriftinthetardis -

The phone number in the first photo is ONLY for Orange County, California!

Look up your local ACLU affiliate here

@6feetunderwater -

It always makes me nervous to see a reporting phone number passed around without any links to verify it, so the number in the first pic can be found on the site for the Orange County Rapid Response Network, which is "an interconnected system of non-profit and grassroots organizations, civil rights attorneys, law school clinics, and individuals working together to respond to dehumanizing immigration enforcement activities and policies in Orange County"

@geekerypeekery -

The second warrant is not fake, but is an administrative rather than judicial warrant, and has no constitutional authority to bypass Fourth Amendment protections - in other words, it does not entitle the bearer to enter and search your home. It simply authorizes agents of the issuing department to contact you. Always ask to see the warrant before opening your door!

In addition to the ACLU links, try contacting the National Immigration Law Center https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Warrants-Subpoenas-Facts.pdf

@american-anger -

The phone number listed here is specific to Orange County in California, but you can look up other California counties here:

CALIFORNIA RAPID RESPONSE NETWORKS

@beaniebaneenie -

Unpleasant reminder: within 100 miles of the border (which is home to 200 million people and virtually all major cities in the US), ICE does not need a warrant to enter your home, your car, to search anything, or even to arrest you.

You are not automatically safe just because they don't have a real warrant.

The best and safest thing you can do is learn to have escape routes- quick ways to get out of the house or area you're in if you find out ICE or CBP are around. Those of us who do have documentation? Time for us to step the fuck up.

Film any interaction. Every interaction. If you're able, step into the conversation and be a Karen/Kyle- weaponize your privilege for Good. If you get asked about people? Use positive but vague statements so you a) cannot be caught in a lie, and b) do not give any information away.

"I don't know them that well, but I don't tend to socialize much. They seem great to me."

"I can't remember the last time I saw them."

"Maybe they speak another language, I can't remember details. But I picked up Duolingo during the pandemic and tons of other people did too."

"I'm not sure."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Even if you're somewhere the 100-mile Exception doesn't apply and a warrant is in fact needed? I don't expect ICE and CBP to play by the rules for long, if at all. I fully expect this to get ugly, and fast.

Cheeto has already declared an emergency of national security at the border, and is mobilizing the military to have jurisdiction over a huge swath of the country. It's essentially tantamount to martial law. And it's only been four days.

Gear up for a long, hard fight. This is gonna be a marathon, not a sprint.

— I am leaving all of this as an edit because on the off chance someone does find the posts that have these people specifically reblogging, I don’t want it to be too late. So I’m comprising it all here

Here are a few other people’s reblogs I thought were important:

Thank you @onthedriftinthetardis @6feetunderwater @geekerypeekery @american-anger @beaniebaneenie @bunnychiffon @dubiouslynamed @trisockatops @witchy-disaster for contributing and helping me make this a more well-informed post. Thank you so much

Golden hues rest upon silver ones, carefully observing the shadows that paint the edges around his freckled complexion in the middle of the night. Illuminated by starlight && dimming lantern lights of a festival nearby, Law finds himself… captivated. The moment midnight strikes, a celebratory roar of another year rings out in the air, leading the surgeon to press his lips against Ace’s to commemorate the occasion. The old cold of the North Blues blasted away by the sheer warmth of his companion ( a… partner, he admits, one he found himself unable to imagine a life without ). Lips part, feeling hot breath as the sky illuminates with a multitude of colors raining down upon them… yet Law keeps his gaze upon Ace.

" You made it another year. " So did he. “ Let’s make it through this one too. ” (happy new year!! for ace & law!!)

unprompted / @celestiialnotes

the celebrations every year usually did not interest ace whatsoever he even dreaded the occasion as midnight bells ringing usually means it was his birthday. the celebratory lights, laughter & illuminating lights in the sky ; it all became dull the moment he was reminded of the one day he's entered into this world. even fireworks HURLING & WHISTLING as they fly high 'pon awestruck people before they EXPLODE in a cascade of shimmers, flickers & colors become grey instantly. the raven has never liked nor celebrated wholeheartedly because of this. not even his crew, brothers & makeshift family had managed to make those last traces of sadness fade away. yet this year, there was a newfound hotness within heart. a light feeling spreading from head to toe. the colors remained as he took in every little detail, curve, crease & shimmer from the man that has become the center of ace's universe.

as the colors spread across firmament, the desired kiss f inally shared, ace truly felt ALIVE. he wanted to be alive. palms coming to rest on law's cheeks in caring manner, thumbs rubbing over stubble & skin in soft circles the happy new year wishes electing a little laugh from ebony haired man. in this moment he was truly happy. he wouldn't want to be anywhere else in this COMPLICATED & BEAUTIFUL world. his place was here. stealing another quick kiss, freckles bathed in crimson glow as the sky was still illuminated by various showers of a variety of lights ; hues burned brightly almost rivaling the fireworks in intensity.

❛  - we'll make it this year & all the ones to come after . .  ❜ it was A PROMISE , one sacred to speak out loud amongst pirates. their lives were dangerous, a gamble everyday if they'd make it to the next. that's the price to pay for freedom. he's let law seen many sides of himself by now. his lowest, his best & his most unpredictable facettes he's stopped trying to be someone else but truly himself. yet, the heart pirate captain was here & at his side. their faces still close ; hands embracing roundness of surgeon's cheeks with utmost tenderness as their breathes mingle in the colder air of the january temperatures outside.

it was time.

❛  - do you remember when i said there was something i'd tell you . . when the time was right ?  ❜ he began quietly, thumbs stopping their circle movement as gaze dropped to their legs. there was an undeniable air of anxiety around ace now. silvery ashen hues dulled slightly by a darkess that haunted the pirate ; guilt bubbling up in throat. ❛  i think it's the right time . you're one of VERY FEW people to know about this . i trust you . i also understand if you don't want to see me again after you heard it .  ❜ voice was firm, yet his hands shook ( still placed perched 'pon lovers jawline ) ; fear tasting bitter on tip of tongue.

hands finally slipped, falling to sit on ace's lap as he tried to get the dreaded words to leave mouth. it wasn't easy now matter how many times he had to say it in the past to those few he trusted DEEPLY. law was one of them ; but he'd understand if the man would get up & turn around to never come back after the confession. the shadows of whose blood ran through his veins EVERLASTING & hauntingly heavy as they cling to his from with every step .

❛  i'm the son of . . gol d roger .  ❜
