kriles summer trust top is kinda problematic tho... lalafell r smol and should be wholesome.

Aw, come on.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree because within the fiction, lalafell are just as mean, gross and horny as anyone else. Gegeruju is a perv, and the whole Ul'dah Syndicate is full of evil little bastards. On the good side, lala are just as complex and grown up as anyone else - Tataru courts followers and dances in a skimpy outfit in the Forgotten Knight, Giott is a roaring drunk stereotypical fantasy dwarf (not to mention whatever the heck is going on with the Tomra and Komra dwarves in general tbh :P). And Lamitt's story was sweet but it did involve her having adult feelings for Ardbert.

Like, really, I can only think of 4 completely wholesome lala out of a cast of hundreds, and they happen to mostly be the ones we've interacted with a lot (Nanamo; Pipin who is a Heroic Knight archetype; Papalymo, who was a grumpy old scholar man; Krile). But that's more about them being main characters serving roles in the narrative rather than indicative of how lalas behave as a whole. In fact after going through ARR, meeting Pipin and finding One Good Ul'dahn Lala is an enormous relief (since the other one is apparently dead now).

And Krile is a main character now so she's allowed to step out of the shadow of being uwu cat hoodie girl who wasn't written with much depth outside of being serious and earnest and rather spooky; she's actually 22 years old according to the first wiki I found - regardless of if that's totally accurate she's definitely meant to be a peer of the other adult Scions and they all treat her like an adult. Her introduction cutscene has her ribbing Alphy as an older friend laughing at how a much younger one used to behave, so we're supposed to immediately understand on meeting her that she's post-teen since she knew 11 year old Alphy and was of course older than him since he was a freak entry into the Studium at that age. Probably a necessary writing moment because establishing lala's age with hilarious moustaches or deep voices or whatever is a part of how the game has to present them.

Out of the fiction, I know lalas are part of a much wider trope that people do find problematic as a whole (e.g. just because in universe Tataru has babes across the globe and that's normal to everyone involved, who are consenting adults in a world which wholly understands Tataru as a consenting adult, is it actually really creepy that it's happening at all because her body type is toddler-esque? Is it weird in general that lala emotes are SO baby in the same way miqo emotes are SO kitty?

ffxiv definitely goes waaay further into borderline creepy territory than many games with smaller fantasy races in it, when it comes to how lala look, so yeah I know it's a fraught area and can be discomforting to see the game present child-shaped people as having adult desires and a thing some people understandably set aside along with other elements as things they're not happy with co-existing in the game with things they really love.) We can absolutely talk about that on a meta level of how we relate to the game and feel about it, just like things we find racist or uncomfortable in other ways e.g. eng translation Hien's treatment of Yotsuyu being a really problematic point.

But, that's one thing, versus talking about us here in fandom and how we relate to it, and I think your ask is, well, really not very deeply considered on any level, but I think is talking about how we as fandom relate to lalas, based on an inaccurate reading of them in the game, meaning you're really not even analysing a thing about it and therefore your ask comes more in the terms of policing how we should FEEL about Krile's beach outfit, and dictating that we SHOULD find lalas smol and wholesome, and that therefore there's an inherent problem in anyone reacting positively to the outfit, rather than critiquing its place in the game in the first place. Having hit a cognitive dissonance in seeing swimsuit Krile existing you've come to me to complain it's problematic rather than taking any actual meaningful action. Ergo, this is a fandom problem to you, not a game problem. WE should find it problematic and say so, you are implying, shocked that so many people looked at a post about the beach outfits and no one commented as such.

Aside from lalafell being fictional and at no point other than the visuals are they treated as children (and emotes aside, playing through the MSQ as a lala wol you easily fall into seeing them as an adult because of course all the cutscenes share the same level of gravitas no matter what you're playing or what clown costume you have on any player), there ARE actually real humans who are built somewhere closer to lala than not, and would be drawn to playing any of the smaller races in a game (like, gnomes in WoW, halflings in D&D, etc) because that's just their chance at representation. And because FFXIV doesn't have anything other than precious moments doll-shaped people the look might be great in the sense that they have the proportions of a cherub statue and it is a lot harder to meet in the middle than a halfling (notoriously hairy middle aged bastards and much easier to read as adult, though that doesn't exclusively represent people who've had growth developmental differences), that IS still the only representative option some people have in the game and if they want to indulge it rather than play something else with proportions forced on them by many games, then what the hell is wrong with that?

And they WILL go to bat for lalas and get upset when people say that they have to be precious baby characters who act like children. I've seen that on tumblr: there's a whole lala community who keeps kinda low key and away from everyone else by their own admission BECAUSE as soon as they get too much attention they're deluged with hate for playing characters who have adult desires and dress fancy - or, you know, like any other random slutty elf WoL. The fact I wandered onto lala blogs at random and saw that complaint on the first pages should speak to how often they have to deal with it. And, again, within the fiction of the game their characters are completely 100% normal and doing what other lalas who are written by the game do as well. I KNOW those blogs are out there and they'd be scared of getting this exact ask, and it would greatly upset them and ruin their day and put them off having any interaction with the community, which fucking sucks. We're here to have fun!

That said I'm not a weirdo anti all up in others' business, it's also fine to just like lalas and stuff without some huge circumstantial justification like "they look like me" - or - "my IRL wife" or whatever - you can also just play a lala or ship with one and it's like, your business. If that's all you're doing and it's not a hypothetical child molester who also has a whole gallery of lala porn that the cops find when they impound the computer full of REAL CHILDREN stuff as well it's never going to be anyone else's business anyway, ever, and that's like, one hypothetical awful person for a whole fandom of normies who are just surprised by how much idk Pipin's deep voice rocked their world and changed their whole perspective on what a hot character was.

Like, granted, that one HYPOTHETICAL weirdo will make everything rancid because there are people waiting to jump on people who like lalas, but also it still won't actually change what other people are doing into being Evil just because someone who actually hurts children found lalas attractive too. That, again, was the hypothetical awful person's problem and not theirs. And in no way can we just casually imply ALL people who like lalas are just inherently going to be dangerous, like real children, or enacting a private psychodrama teetering on the edge of all that.

They could in fact be completely average and boring psychologically and also have a crush on Tataru. Or, I guess, normal amount of weird for a fandom, but basically average XD In a fictional world where these characters are treated as adults, even normal people will naturally end up drawn to them as adults because, well, that's the story that's we're all engaging in. It's not inherently a thought crime to do so, because, weirdly, thought crimes don't exist.

Also, of course, people will literally discourse that hobbits are child-coded and shouldn't be shipped or seen as sexy, despite the most famous halflings, who made the entire halfling race as a generic brand, all being middle aged, hairy, smoking, drinking, guys with normal adult desires and mindsets. I mean yeah Elijah Wood was 18 when they started filming LotR (over several years so he was Krile's age by the end :P) but also Frodo celebrated his 40th birthday before setting off on the Ring Quest in the book and he was the baby of the group aside from Pippin.

In any case, there's no fucking winning and so I can understand completely that if a fucking Hobbit from Lord of the Rings gets shit for being short, and people are getting called a perv for fancying Sam Gamgee, then why not just embrace it with a Lalafell because you're literally damned no matter what in the eyes of someone who won't meet a LOTR HOBBIT where he stands as an adult man.

There's some DEEP puritanical brainrot going on online and I don't want to be a part of it whatsoever, so it means accepting lala likers for the sake of protecting Merry and Pippin's right to be seen as hot, than like, I know which side of of the line I'm dragging my beach chair. It's not even a question. I'm defending people who think lalas are appealing.

ANYWAY none of this is my business, I don't even find lalas sexy, I just think Krile looks nice in her cute summer top and it's lovely that she's getting fashion advice from her besties, and there's a million reasons to be happy about that and for her as a character, and only miserable bastard reasons to go "aurgh aurgh it's problematic" and condemn the game and everyone who plays it just for enjoying something. Lalas are NOT smol and wholesome, they're short and people, and that's fine.

being a maki harukawa fan in the 2018 danganronpa fandom took more guts than being in the army. every video that even mentioned her would have some comment talking about how she's a badly written bitch who sucks and she's a stupid evil bitch for trying to kill soft baby ouma with like 500 likes. every other post id see on amino was like "here's why maki shouldn't have survived". i was 12 year old in the amino trenches. a year earlier i was fighting this exact same battle but for alphys undertale. time is a flat circle.

Rate UT characters on likely they are to eat spoiled food

premise: as monster food does not spoil, this speculation is based on how i think they'd treat human food in the post pacifist ending

frisk. trash burger. enough said. (also i hc that they grew up on the streets, so... not a lot of chances to be picky with your food.)

sans. second most likely. there's milk in the fridge bought specifically for him to drink out of the carton whenever frisk's or papyrus' friends come to visit, like a stereotypical disney channel older brother (he loves being annoying on purpose). it's been there for a month. he's still not done with it. it's probably rancid. enjoyer of food and lover of even shittier food. mr worst burger on the menu. he is ESPECIALLY gross about food and he is gross about it on purpose, he will peel an apple for papyrus and then take a bite out of it before cutting him a slice. and then call him a wuss when he acts disgusted. ("stop being a baby bones, we have the same germs anyway" "NO WE DON'T. *YOU* HAVE GERMS! AND I DON'T WANT ANY OF THEM!!" "why? they're pedigreed" "OUGH!?!!"). he mostly uses it as a chance to make a gag (or a lack of gagging, lol) but his strong stomach did also come in handy in the early days of papyrus' interest in cooking

mettaton, of sequins-and-glue hamburgers fame. he's technically tied for 2nd place with sans, but i put him in third because i feel like sans does it on purpose, for mettaton it's more like... a side effect of starting life off as a ghost. few people question it since he's a robot now.

alphys. she doesn't go out of her way to do it, but she buys her snacks in industrial pallet-fuls to reduce social interactions to a minimum, so by the time she reaches the last 3 or 4 packets of blue takis, they're well past their expiration date. not that it stops her. now, this wouldn't happen on the surface because she gets better and has a solid support system, but if monster food could spoil back when she was going Through it with the amalgamates, i feel like she'd either be too depressed or tired to care and eat it, or she'd tumble into a "g-god. you can't even take care of your own f-food. is there anything you can't fuck up" self-deprecation spiral and lose her appetite altogether

flowey. did it to see what would happen. nothing did. never did it again. tbh I just don't think he eats much of anything, spoiled or not.

undyne. getting into the "wouldn't eat spoiled food" tier. she actually thinks it's really gross but papyrus tricks her into doing it by challenging her machismo. she gets SO sick from it. they do this aprox 3 times a month. rinse and repeat

asgore. he's a gardener, and i can see him working in a community garden on the surface, so he'd have access to a lot of fresh produce, for both himself and to give away. however, if some of it were to go bad, he'd probably cut off the affected bit and eat the rest so it doesn't go to waste.

toriel. she is SUPER careful about expiration dates and mold and checks to make sure all she owns is still safe to eat almost weekly. this level of care, however, is mostly meant for other people, not herself, but she would really rather not eat anything that's gone bad. same reasoning as alphys', IF monster food could spoil when she was still in the RUINs, i could technically see her biting the bullet, if only because 1) she was also heavily depressed and struggling to take care of herself, though i think she might sooner skip out on the meal altogether, rather than eat something spoiled, and 2) the awkward stares from the other monsters in the RUINs supermarket might not be something she's willing to deal with on any given day.

papyrus. he would NOT. no way. master of cleaning, germophobe extraordinaire papyrus (well, not really, but he plays the part). if toriel is meticulous, papyrus is obsessive. there better not be a SINGLE spot on his food. and no lines or plaid patterns either!! he WILL wash it untill it goes away. with soap probably. canonically a picky eater to begin with (his picks are just weird as balls). can should and WILL get on sans' ass about his unhealthy eating habits, and that includes eating food that's gone bad.

For the UF bros what if doomfanger got pregnant but they don't know who the daddy is... There reaction?

Bonus: after doomfanger has kittens she walks up to them meowing because she doesn't want to be a mom... Kittens are meowing in the other room.

Underfell Sans - Greaaaat. He told Edge a million times to fix his freaking cat. Now that ass is even more protective and bullying him twice times more. Red can't wait to have tiny clones of that hellish cat roaming inside the house. He swears if Edge says he's keeping them all, he goes to buy a tent to sleep in the garden. He's not even surprised when she doesn't want the kitten anymore. That cat likes no one.

Underfell Papyrus - Doomfanger got pregnant before he had a chance to contact a vet to fix her. He acts like it's bothering him and all but when there are all the babies, he's cooing and literally doesn't leave the room to stay with them. He's a bit sad when Doomfanger kinda gives up, but also it means he can bottle-feed the baby and have a stronger relationship with them. There's no way he's giving them up. That's his babies. He can give one to Undyne and Alphys, that's his max lol.

Hellooo! Can you tell more about Color Sans? I always see stuff about him, but I know nothing??? Like, I know that he has some connection to Killer, but I never undertand it :(

Gladly! I am actually working on a Google Doc for Color and his AU, Othertale, at the moment. It is not complete, but here is a link to the Doc if you’d like to give it a look. Not everything is on there yet and it’s not very organized I don’t think, but there’s some links, pictures, and the creator’s socials.

If you’d like to look up the creator, you can give superyoumna and othertale-blog here on Tumblr a look, or superyoumna over on YouTube.

Now Color’s connection to Killer is that they’re friends, and Color is trying to help Killer leave Nightmare and potentially fix his soul—as Killer has asked him to.

The exact nature of their meeting is left up to interpretation according to Killer’s creator, rahafwabas, and the exact nature of their relationship—platonic, romantic, queer platonic, etc—is also left to interpretation, although Killer’s creator has stated they see it more like bromantic than romantic.

Both Killer and Color’s creators, who were and still seem to be good friends (killer’s creator even helped design backgrounds for Othertale), also were very supportive of shipping them.

Color, according to Killer, is someone who gives him hope. He brings light to Killer’s grey, lifeless world; and Killer feels safe with him. Color makes him feel seen, heard, respected. And Color just really wants to do right by Killer, and help him to the best of his abilities.

Now, on to Color’s AU—Othertale. It’s probably more accurate to say that Othertale was an alternate timeline that, due to a choice, became an AU.

After going through his own sets of Genocides and Resets, Sans made a hasty choice in a moment of desperation—absorb the six human souls. This gave him new, very strong abilities—as you can see in the links in the Google Doc—yet his body is very fragile. Overusing his abilities can and will kill him.

So Sans manages to finally permanently kill the human, but this causes a Reset. Sans is sent to the Void with Gaster where he is forgotten by everyone, Frisk and Chara are erased and forgotten as well. So the world attempts to adapt to the absence of the six human souls and its major players.

This results in Othertale, in which Undyne is actually the main character. In this AU, Undyne encounters a young Papyrus in the garbage dump—dealing with bullying, appearing to be alone and homeless without anyone to take care of him, and only coming to Undyne for help from bullies since they met after “the explosion”—and proceeds to take him under her wings as her baby brother. She finds a passion for playing the piano, and often uses her abilities to entertain the Underground.

Because she was too concerned with raising Papyrus, she never attempts to join the Royal Guard; and so Gerson remains its Captain. As a further result, Papyrus has no interest in fighting or joining the Royal Guard either; instead becoming a math teacher.

The promise to Toriel never happens because Sans was not there to give it, although Color remembers it.

The amalgamates do not exist in Othertale, and so Alphys is a lot more sure of herself and confident. There is no way to break the barrier, although admittedly monsters in Othertale seem a lot more content in the Underground, although they still maintain hope. Mettaton was given his body a lot earlier, and seems more like a weapon than an Underground star.

However, trouble arises when an error suddenly reveals itself—going by the name of corrupted chara, although it seems pretty obvious that it is the Player, here to keep playing by taking other vessels now that Frisk is gone. In an attempt to stop this, Color and Gaster elect Undyne’s help—despite how she has no idea what’s happening.

And that’s the general premise of the AU. I am unsure if it is discontinued or if there’s still plans to continue, but it’s just delayed.

As for Color’s character on its own, we unfortunately don’t get much on him canonically due to him not being the main character and the AU not being finished.

He still has a lot of characteristics that Classic Sans does, however the traits and influence/compulsions of the six human souls he absorbed—kindness, patience, perseverance, justice, bravery, integrity—have an immense effect on him and his life, even to the point potentially being dangerous for him.

He is said to not make jokes as much as anymore, although he still does, and he often is quicker to emotional outbursts or anger. He has an intense fear of being alone or forgotten again, to the point he’d get involved in things that are harmful for himself or stick around groups to avoid being lonely—although his creator said he’s often likely to take on a “voice of reason” role in any group he’s in.

If you look of the effects of prolonged solitary confinement and isolation, it is understandable why he has a harder time controlling his emotions and doesn’t wish to feel that sense of being alone again.

A common interpretation in parts of the fandom is that, not only due to his isolation, but due to a hc that he is Autistic, he is often prone to overwhelm and overstimulation—often needing his alone time anyway, even if he’s likely to deny himself what he needs.

A common HC is that he is a nomad, full of wanderlust, not wanting to feel trapped or stuck in the same place again—having developed perhaps some special interests in traveling and keeping track of the lores of AUs he encounters.

It is due to his nature and being Autistic, but also the fact of wanting to stay near Killer wherever he happens to currently be, that it’s headcanoned that Color takes seasonal or part time jobs.

Enough to stay afloat without having to be tied down to one spot or burn himself out trying to keep up with 9 to 5 jobs.

It is also headcanoned that, due to his fear of being forgotten, that Color develops a special interest in photography. Keeping a camera with him, filling up scrapbooks and walls, and journaling.

Maybe he even takes up baking and gardening sometimes. Color’s creator is also Egyptian I believe, so both he and Killer could likely speak Arabic, and it’s possible to implement parts of the culture and beliefs into his character. And also elements of his physical disability, given one of his eyes are gone and his skull is busted open.

Color is also said to be friends with Delta!Sans and Epic!Sans, forming a group known as the Epic Sanses, and I HC’d that when Color first accepted Core!Frisk’s offer to live in the Omega Timeline, that he and Delta were roommates.

Color also hates Nightmare. For how he treats AUs, innocent people, Color’s friends, and especially how he hurts Killer “the most.” Due to the fact that Nightmare canonically replaces Killer with other versions of himself, it is often accepted by Color!Sans lovers that Color’s PTSD worsens, he develops separation anxiety, survivor’s guilt, and compassion fatigue due to the many times he has tried and failed to save and protect all the Killers that Nightmare replaces.

Color struggles to give up on Killer, he can’t do it, and it very likely comes close to killing him more and more every time. Leaving Color to have to rely on the support of his friends Epic and Delta. Color’s opinion of Nightmare is formed by the absolute cruelty Color has consistently witnessed first hand from him, but also the cruelty he’s been on the receiving end of.

Color is often seen as that burnt out therapist friend, the one who everyone wants to go to in order to talk about their problems and ask for advice, and Color struggles to set boundaries in these areas—not only because he doesn’t want to run the risk of pushing people away and being alone again, but because kindness and justice often struggle to let him to.

Essentially, Color has been completely forgotten by the world he only ever tried to protect. For his attempts to save and protect the people he cares about more than anything, the world seems to just consistently punish him for even trying.

He’s forgotten, he’s alone, he’s pushed aside, he fails. He’s forced to watch everyone go on without him, and when Killer becomes his world, he’s forced to watch as he’s constantly destroyed over and over and despite everything Color somehow still survives.

Yet he refuses to give up. Doing so would go against everything he believes in, everything he is.

To give my own two cents about Alphi being failed by all the adults around him, it really is complicated and nuanced but I really do agree that there isn't anything short of tying him up that any adult could do to get him to listen to them. The Crystal Braves was HIS project, his baby. Given he's a legal adult in this world, there is nothing they could have done to stop him and knowing Alphi he wouldn't be stopped BECAUSE of his immense ego. He's considered a prodigy, he comes from a very high profile family and lots of privilege. How the hell do you step in to stop this kid when he has access to more resources, is legally an adult, it's HIS project, and the boy is self-righteous and has an ego to rival any peacock? Not to mention, there were warning signs--he was warned! It didn't change anything. This was HIS blunder and his alone. He wasn't some uncertain child stumbling through the politics of Ul'dah, he was confidently barking orders and making plans that HE thought were best because his sense of self was so high.

My favorite thing about Alphinaud is that yes he's a prodigy with lots of privilege and resources and can be a know-it-all, but deep down he does have really good intentions. His problem is that he is far too smart for his own good and it clouds his judgement. His lofty ambitions cause problems and he ends up causing more harm than good. Seeing how he really humbled himself throughout Heavensward and by the end realizes that he needs to get a new foundation to stand on--that his reason for fighting needs to change... ugh, it had me bawling my eyes out.

By the end of the Dragonsong Quests, Alphi learns that it's not about the politics or the governing bodies, it's about THE PEOPLE. He learns to re-center his values on people rather than conceptual ideas of nation and peace. I love him so much for the way he grows and comes to that conclusion.

If we want to claim Alphinaud was failed by adults, we'd have to start with his entire upbringing. He got into that position because he was a privileged child prodigy and it clouded his judgement, not because he wasn't protected by his comrades who were equally as caught up in their own saviorism.

What would happen say if clover venture into dr alphys lab and by sum strang way got turn into a monster child.

Idk what type but from the western movies they use a lot of coyotes. So maybe clover a coyotes monster. Or maybe a wolf ? Or maybe a fox monster like creoba?

Idk but my Question is.

How would starlo and creoba react if there human son had become a monster child like the other monster in the underground?

Oh gosh, I suppose it depends on the mood of their transformation. Silly little science/magic experiment that will wear off in 24 hours? Probably mostly light hearted fun and awe over what Clover would look like as a monster. Serious, irreversible change to Clover's biology and body? Those lab doors are being busted down and fists and bullets will be flying.

Either way, I feel like they'd be really freaked out by Clover becoming a monster. That's their funny little human baby, not their funny little monster baby! Not that they'd shame or reject Clover for it, of course. But it would be a big adjustment. Even if Clover wouldn't have to hide from other monsters, Starlo and Ceroba would have to think up a cover story for why they just "randomly" have a 13 year old monster child now.

Gotta say, though, Clover as a coyote? 10/10. Cutest idea ever. So much so that I kind of had to doodle it~

I don't think I captured "coyote" energy as much as "generic dog" energy, need to work on my canines, but I couldn't resist the idea of a clover-based coyote monster! Flats under cut to show off the design better.

Tried to keep a mix of clovers and dog attributes to hopefully fit in with the creative monster designs of Undertale. If I were to seriously sit down and design a monster form for them, I'd be a lot more critical of my design choices and do more passes. But hopefully this works as a one off doodle!

Concept: Kris, Mettaton and Mew Mew have formed Hometown's first ever trans support group.

No discussion takes place, they just sit on plastic chairs in the school gymnasium and play Super Fighting Brothers on the wheely TV, sketch their edgy gender-envy-projection OCs (you can probably guess what MTT and Mew Mew's tend to look like, both are still ghosts of course), listen to nightcore, and consume obscene quantities of cheap fruit juice, slimy brown apple slices, Ice-E's pizza and dry grocery store cookies off of a folding table (provided in corporeal and non-corporeal varieties by Toriel (they're all hungry teens given a snack fund, they ravage that table every time)).

They're the school's only non-sports club (and Jockington is the only member of every sports team), so they pretty much get all the funding they want within reason, but all they've really bought is a trans flag to hang on the wall when Hometown Public School Trans Youth Support Group is in session.

They meet up once a week.

This is the only form of trans "care" any recieves because Kris doesn't care due to their natural androgyny and Alphys isn't a robot-designing, life-size-anime-girl-fascimile-owning royal scientist in DR. Despite all 3 of them being different flavors of trans, they're ride-or-die about their club and each other's validity.

(granted, as for why MTT and Mew Mew are teens, that would require some AU-ing... while the idea of Mew Mew and Mettaton being adults and serving as trans role models for Kris is both enticing and more vanilla-friendly (although both seem to be closeted in vanilla, so...), the idea of a cringe-ass high school club friend group made up of an edgy emo enby, a transmasc glitter femboy and a transfemme pastel lolita anime magical girl... like, please tell me you see the lite AU potential here?

Kris would still befriend Suzie, of course, who would not understand what being trans was ("I just thought humans were... like that" and "ok... you're a boy, and you're a girl... and? Ok?? Good for you???Kris, these are just two normal ghosts, I don't get it.") and join in on a "support group" meeting to "learn."

She'd eat an unfair amount of the snacks, get too into an intense match of SFB, and laugh at Mettaton and Mew Mew's bad half-demon-half-angel OCs before making MTT cry, which would send Mew Mew into a white-hot protective rage, forcing Suzie to apologize under threat of violence, which she does before admitting Metta's half-oni bishounen samurai OC was "kinda sick, honestly." She'd then walk home with Kris, excited because "Kris, that's what "transgender" is? That was cool as hell! I'm in! I'm trans now!" She'd sign up for the "club" the next day.

She'd continue to be a girl, but when prompted would tell people she was "totally like 100% trans" and not elaborate. She still wouldn't really "get" it, because they're just a boy, girl and other thing with nothing seemingly special about them, but would assume that her experience of poring over terrible "How to Draw Manga" books from the library, stacking classroom chairs into thrones, roughhousing over alleged video game "cheating," and getting free terrible cookies is what "being trans" is.

Ok, so I literally pulled this out of my ass as I typed, but omg I think this could actually make a decent fanfiction? Imagine the possibilities... do they still find the dark world, and what would MTT and Mew Mew's alt forms look like? Do they ever meet up in other areas, like the library or the park? Sleepovers? Birthday parties?? Conventions??? Hell, this has big askblog potential, too. Now I want to write this, if my ADHD will let me... cute, nostalgic slice-of-life about awkward small-town baby-queer teens being cringe and free... holiday "episodes..." misfit friendships... trans joy...

Day 4/5 - Snow/Andromeda

Did I just mixed these two cuz the focus is on Alpheratz? Hell yeah. Fight me about it. Decided to write this one, will write again. Summoner and Alpheratz, free interpretation of their relationship, summoner is they/them Letters: 2645 Words: 464 short and general one. i suck at editing and making things look pretty, fight me.

Once again, Bound Arlyn was covered by white, fluffy snow, covering every inch outside the academy. The air was chilling, sorcerers' breaths showing with a form of small clouds leaving their mouths or noses, red from the low temperature. 

Weather didn’t let Alpheratz take a nap outside, trees naked since leaves were absent and ground cold and wet. He would be clearly visible too and he didn’t enjoy that idea. Spica was just behind him, yapping as always, as he stared outside the window, letting out another heavy sigh. 

At the same time, the door to the student council office opened, a pair of people coming in. Alpheratz turned his head around, resting his cheek on the palm of his hand as he stared at newcomers. It was Vega with Summoner, both holding heavy piles of papers and talking with each other. Summoner was giggling, clearly amused by what Vega said, his lips curling into a small smile. In the same moment, they looked at him and smiled more widely.

Alpheratz felt his heart beating stronger for a second, a funny feeling spreading inside him, making the corner of his lips turn upwards. His attention was now fully on Summoner, his eyes with a hint of spark as he followed their every movement.

“Hi Alphy!”

Ah. Adorable.

“It’s freezing, Summoner” 

Alpheratz was grumbling, hiding his nose behind the thick scarf and stuffing hands in his jacket pockets. For some reason he wasn’t wearing a hat - Summoner already nagged him about that for long minutes before they let him go after he said they act like Spica. They shivered at the comparison, making disgusted face. Alpheratz chuckled slightly.

“Don’t be such a baby~” They laughed heartily, jumping next to him. They were outside on a walk, but not a “date” (Pollux kept asking them if it's a date so much that the summoner yelled at him and for some reason, Pollux suddenly ran away and Alpheratz was smirking mischievously, book in his hands. Hm. Mysterious.) 

Alpheratz glanced back at Summoner with a frown.

“I am not a baby?” He scoffed and stopped walking, obviously pouting at their words. Summoner stopped too and grabbed his arm by an elbow, pulling forward. 

“Yeah? Then don’t just stand there” 

They were trying to pull him forward, but he was bigger and stronger and.. Suddenly took two steps forward, making Summoner stumble and fall on their ass. Deep snow pile softened the fall, but the coldness and wetness of this white fluffy thing made them yelp and shiver. 

Alpheratz couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight, until he was laughing with his full chest. Then he got hit by a snowball, shrieking unmanly, when part of snow fell under his collar.

I have risen again and want to show my work during my absence. There aren't many of them, but I really try my best…

So! New residents of Saforex!Tale have appeared :D Time to tell you a little about them :)

Papyrus: A scientist of the king, one of the main and close ones among science, which is illegal if you are not registered with the king and do not benefit the entire dungeon. He is also a cinnamon bun, and he has also been nicknamed “Northern Bear”. He is not as naive as he might seem, but still he was not so attentive to some individuals and, for good reason, considers them rather good-natured monsters (including the king, who is a rather harsh person, often committing some bad deeds from his own motives of their own benefit). He learned a lot from his father and his older brother Sans, although he had previously wanted to become a guardsman, no worse than his brother, but the dream had long been unfulfilled, because the monster’s body could not withstand such a load of mana during the experiments, which can now cause severe waste lead to death. Paps wanted to be useful, which is why he did not lose heart and began to fully study books on science.

Saforex Alphys is in many ways similar to its base, but! Unlike the base, she is more timid, she cannot play the role of some kind of cool person, she is afraid of many, but there is nothing to condemn her for, chaos reigns around her Alphys went through a lot during this period, which greatly affected her morale, but even so she has an outlet in science and anime! When she is close to the monsters dear to her or even alone, she immediately comes to life and becomes even more active, which is unrecognizable. In my world, she is more confined to herself precisely for the reason that she is only an assistant to the main scientist of the kingdom, because… Papyrus became the basis. Their relationship was not always good, but now she completely trusts him, and he trusts her, from which she opens up to him completely, trying to captivate him in the anime. She is very glad that Paps has become her friend, after all, initially, given Sans and Gaster, she expected everything but good… But Papyrus, to her surprise, turned out to be God’s dandelion and is now devoted to him like no one else, partly remembers in him a piece of that same kind Gaster, she was too attached to him, and now his place has been taken by his own son.. Paps also treats Alphys very well and even in a family way.

Muffet. In Saforex, she owns a large number of outlets for selling her confectionery products due to the same wider distribution of residential locations. Muffet is one of the oldest monsters in the dungeon and is something of a keeper of history, essentially because of this she knows every monster in the dungeon living in the present time of the story. Therefore, in many ways, she also dislikes people, she is angry with them for their imprisonment, but she is still more attentive to her principles, which means that a person, being her client, has safety on her territory. The spider loves to chat with guests, listen to new rumors and stories. Spiders - her eyes are all over the dungeon, telepathically communicating with her babies, she can know the location of everyone and therefore often watches a person, during the course of the story there are often cobwebs and little scoundrels that are considered sacred in the dungeon, from which the inhabitants cannot even lay a finger those, usually leaving them a place in the attic or basement

Transcript: The Bad Sans Gang just as a thing is so weird. Because like for one Dust would never join if asked he wouldn't want to he doesn't want to leave his world even if he has won suffering in an empty world barely surving till he dies is what he feels he deserves so nothing gonna convince him to leave that. Horror might join if it was for something like food for those in Snowdin and most importantly his brother but with a more canon Nightmare. Horror wouldn't want to stick around so in that case both Horror and Dust would be focused on escape. Neither would want to hurt others. Horror does alot for the people of his au the only one I see him hurting is Undyne and Alphys. I don't see Dust ever actually hurting someone he doesn't want more LV, doesn't want what happened to him to be done to others so he wouldn't even be useful even if threatened with death. Killer does have an ending where he ends up with Nightmare but, even Killer would leave if given an actual chance. Killer and Dust would be uncomfortable with one another. Horror hates both of their guts. Dust wouldn't sympathize with either of them. Killer probably wouldn't like either of them too. Then you add Cross to the mix. He's always the baby or he's the one who usually ends up feeling bad for hurting others and betrays them and it's a whole bunch of drama. Like, Cross is the one who was willing to kill people and bring them back from anger at his suffering. He is more morally Grey than people give him credit for.

Another thing people often make Cross the tactician of the group even though someone like Killer or Dust is more likely and better. Cross is a terrible tactician most of his plans through Xtale and Underverse are short term and only deal with the direct problem at hand he doesn't think ahead very well and honestly neither does Horror. People often give the fact that Cross was in the royal guard to make him some great tactician but that wouldn't be the case since their main focus in xtale as royal guards was just singularly protecting Frisk and stopping humans and monsters from getting out of hand he also didn't seem super high up in the chain it seemed like the royal guards were like a small task force for protecting Frisk then the large spread out force of capturing humans in other aus which even then aren't known for being tactician I don't know just a pet peeve. Cross is either a sweet baby or he's some cold touch starved tactian who ends up becoming Nighymare personal guard and left hand man.

If you want to make a bad sans as a gang wether as a found family or just people surving together actually think about their canon personalities and goals and how that would affect their roles in a small organization. For example Killer as right hand man and none for being the one to give advice and opinions on Nightmare plan would acts at the tactician who plans for battles and missions. Dust would probably be the one for infiltration and information gathering missions along with doing things like making poisons and medicines which canonically the author thinks if fine. Horror I could see as the nurse mainly for his whole always helping everyone in his au and trying to keep them from dying lets not forget he seems to have more engineering focus then the others in the group so he can build supplies needed. Cross could take care of logistics being one of the more energetic and focused of the group and with knowledge working as an actual royal guard and probably having to deal with paperwork I can see him taking count of things they have and need, supplies to get, calculations but I can honestly see Horror doing that too. Cross is actually the hardest to give a singular job to do because most of what he can do one of the others could do it better. Well Cross is definitely a good bodyguard maybe his focus is maintaining deals with aus, keeping them safe, and also watching over them both from others and from making sure they don't betray them a skill Cross would actually be good at.

Also for the love of gosh stop making Killer some stupid flirty guy who has like one brain cell I really dislike how fanon people make him compared to how he is canonically.
