every time i'm wandering around the gaster side of undertale (which is often these days), i'm reminded of why i... kind of never want him to be a fully realized character?

don't get me wrong, this man has completely infected my brain and has for years and any and all information we get about him will have me frothing at the mouth.

but at the same time, i can't not think about how we as a fandom would be losing what i feel is a fundamental part of the undertale community.

there is a sort of delight that can't really be found anywhere else in the undertale fandom that comes with gaster and his designs (this post is a fantastic example of it). he is THE everyman in every sense of the word. the complete absence of information about him as a character aside from what we're told in undertale and what we can infer from choices he made that he left behind (e.x. how the core can only be cooled by ice cubes for some fucking reason) gives way to fan designs and interpretations and characterizations on a magnitude i have never seen before. i just can't imagine how we would've gotten characterizations like handplates!gaster or epictale!gaster or x!gaster, a few EXTREMELY different takes of the same character, if there was a pre-existing blueprint. (yes im aware of the irony of that.)

"don't you wanna know more about him or what he looks like-" no!! i want to see him with the cracks and the holes and the holes with no arms and the skeleton and the mask and the blaster and the white ass guy and the full on goop!!!! i wanna see him be goofy and dumb and scary and cruel and smart and kind and awkward and over-the-top and reserved as fuck!!!!!! i dont want him to be less malleable bc of canon!!!!!!!!

i don't know if there are other characters like gaster, near completely absent in their respective medias and yet one of the most popular and recognizable characters in their fandoms. every time i think about how we'll most likely learn more about him the further into deltarune we get and potentially even get to speak directly with him, i cant ignore the looming dread that will be the loss of all of those interpretations. the one's that already exist won't go away, but the way we look at them will be permanently changed, and how gaster is handled by new fans will also be changed, and something about that makes me really sad. i know the undertale fandom in particular is known for taking canon and throwing it out a window, but it just... won't be the same. idk. im not gonna tell toby not to develop his own character. we're just gonna have to see what happens.

You know when you have to stop yourself from saying something that would not appear normal to everyone else? I managed to choke down an inappropriate sentence recently.

I was buying floor cleaner and when I put it on the conveyor belt it started leaking. The cashier started wiping down the conveyor whilst one of her colleagues went for a replacement. An old guy in the queue behind me - a glass half full man if ever there was - said "At least it smells nice now!" And the cashier replied "Yes, it could have been a lot worse!"

To which I nearly, replied: "Yeah, because I was going to buy one of those giant bottles of piss that are on special offer!"

“young witch trying to solve the mystery of her neighbor’s missing cat in a small village in the Alps” continues to be hilarious don’t get me wrong but it’s kind of making me want to take a crack at treating the concept seriously. In this insular rural community, a cat goes missing. A young woman who takes her community’s professed ideals of helpfulness and harmony in witchcraft seriously volunteers to try to find him. Realizes the more she searches and the more she asks around that everyone in this idyllic village is quietly seething with resentment against their neighbors and against the world, that the insularity of her village is harboring a festering social rot that no one is allowed to address. No one can leave. The hills have fallen silent. Something is eating the cats and no one is allowed to address this. Ötzi is there

Timely reminder that the March new moon is this Saturday, and there is a solar eclipse the same day.

If anybody wants a second round of Yeet That Bullshit Into The Devouring Void, Saturday night's all right for fighting (fascism)! 👍

I will never not laugh at the irony of Nessarose Thropp declaring herself the Wicked Witch of the East despite the fact that she never studied sorcery at Shiz and when she tries it she fucks it up so bad that her beloved turns into a tin man.

Nessa, immediately after flopping the first spell she ever did: “I AM THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST!”

rewatched madoka magica again today bc i fucking hate myself and to absolutely no one’s surprise i went through all five stages of grief in a single evening

[moghedien]

Anyway I finished rereading Wicked today (for the sixth time? at least sixth) and what I actually can't stop thinking about is during the scene after Elphaba "kills" Madame Morrible and she goes to Avaric's house to tell him about it and they get drunk and rowdy, and Avaric tells her that after she didn't come back from the Emerald City, Glinda went through "another slide" like the one she went through after Dr. Dillamond's death

and Dr. Dillamond's death, the illness of Ama Clutch, and the realization that Madame Morrible is a whole lot worse than she knew was the most traumatic thing that Galinda had ever gone through, to the point where she had to literally change her name and become a new person just to cope with it. like it was HUGE personality shift for Glinda.

and Avaric just said that Elphaba leaving caused her to go through that again to an extent that its noticeable to someone who barely seemed to care about Glinda in the first place and for him to remember it decades after the fact

cleaning out my fridge today and thinking about bf!eddie with a witch!reader:

"sweetheart why are there bones in a ziploc bag at the back of the fridge?"

"oh i'm gonna clean those for my spells"

"...... what kind of bones are they?"

"rib. probably a leg in there somewhere"

"not what i meant but okay"

shirahama saying that every major detail change from the manga to the anime was purposeful.... the specific choice to hide the entirety of Iguin's face with his mask rather than just half...... i shake a bit at the thought
