#skel rambles

[skelaxo]

I’ll do a separate post about Charles Eyler and aromanticism because that is always on my mind but I’m having fresh thoughts about femininity and his character around that but it’ll be kinda long so elaboration under the cut >:)

(Note: I’ll still be using he/him since those are his canonical pronouns and he also is canonically genderfluid so this isn’t really a transfemme headcanon, more he wants to present more femme/possibly some level of dysphoria)

I get the impression Charles wants to present more femme but due to a lot of circumstances he’s not able to—

For one he presents his online self femininely with the username “Charlotte” and using a pfp of her. Many people sort of “test out” gender expression online with different names or pronouns before ever coming out irl, so I think Charles reflects this experience. In addition, he projects his insecurities of not living up to his online persona onto Vincent, assuming he is disappointed coming face to face with someone who didn’t match themselves online saying

“Its you who should be disappointed in me, mr C”

“Charlotte turned out to be Charles, whoops”

“Bet you wanted to see the girl of your dreams”

When Vincent himself says “names and bodies dont matter”

But then again, irl he wouldn’t feel comfortable with completely free gender expression because of all the Mother and Scarlett stuff— “youre a good girl” isnt so gender affirming when its in the context of your mother convinced youre her aborted daughter who’s way more successful than you are and is kinda messing up your whole mental state.

Ok now this is somewhat of a stretch but evidence nonetheless—

Charlotte. All the Charlottes. Trust me on this one. So Charlotte is Charles’ OC/self insert/persona type deal. Perfect protagonist and all that fun stuff. Projection of an ideal Charles. Scarlett. Also Charles. Ideal Charles projected in a fucked up way. So. Here’s where I’m going with this. Charles=Scarlett who=Charlotte more specifically ep1/2 Charlotte who can be considered transfemme coded mostly due to the scene she and Frei look over memories in the mirror room, specifically the one titled “Femininity”

And I’ll just paraphrase it but young Charlotte was unconfident in her femininity feeling unsuited for feminine things until Aiden encourages her to embrace it anyways and feel comfortable in it—

Charles=Scarlett=Charlotte=transfemme ITS A CONNECTION OK.

If Charles writes the story of the perfect protagonist in which the protag is an idealized self and she is living the same experience of not being able go express femininity YEAH CHARLES IS GONNA GIVE HER THE HAPPY CONCLUSION HE DIDNT ok there’s some plot holes in that ep2 is not exactly derivative of Charles’ writing buy leg me have this

There wasnt a convenient spot to slip these in but also some ep3 false realm stuff leans into gender non conformity with 1. Evidence Charles will sometimes pick a femme student vessel over Vincent and 2. Q84 rejecting traditional femininity which is opposite of this whole post but Q84 is that “what I never could be” for Charles WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER RAMBLE ON ITS OWN so it makes sense the script is flipped here

Not hot and sexy but fuck yeah man. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've had memory issues caused by ADHD since I was a little kid; my mom would get so mad when I forgot to clean my room and I would cry because I didn't mean to forget, I just *forgot*

Recently it's been items. I lose car keys, I lose my phone constantly even if I was just holding it, I forget names, places, people. I can't tell you who I was with while telling a story, but I remember they were there, I remember their energy, we had fun. They said something funny. I can't remember that either.

I can't tell what memories are real and which ones I spliced together trying to remember.

I've never remembered faces. My dreams consist of people without faces because I can't make them up.

Memory loss is terrible and horrible and it makes little guys sad and scared.

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

"soulmate identifying marks" this and "red string of fate" that. where's the soulmate au where you find out that your partner has an obscure xenogender you coined years before meeting them in their gender hoard.

[rotshop]

madcom community how are we feeling after that

[skelswritingcorner]

Making a character intro thingy so I can finally do OC asks, here's a little sketch I made for Patchouli (the protagonist of Patchouli's Revenge)! I'll add some text later on with her name, age, occupation and some trivia about her. I might even stream myself working on this character intro, so if you wanna watch me work on this and some other character intros follow me on Twitch!

Oh!

It was a bit overwhelming at first but she seemed to get the gist of what she needed. It was a lot but it could be done easily. There was a local farmers market nearby, which was great for getting the fresh food but she wasn’t so sure about the school supplies. However. There was a shopping district a bit aways, great for any and all needs for shopping. But, it meant going the opposite way she was going. It wasn’t as though she needed to be at the library by a certain time, she had plenty of time in the day to grab what she needed. Plus, a quick run to the mall didn’t have to last that long at all.

“I do know of a few places that we could go to, some being further away than others. I’m not particularly busy at the moment so I’d be happy to lead you there!” Standing in the midst of the crowds wasn’t exactly ideal, so she nodded towards a storefront, motioning for the strange lady to follow.

“Your help is much needed and appreciated Miss! I truly wouldn’t know what i would have done if or how long it would have taken, with the streets and places ha- Oh, but yes, my apologies for rambling on!.” She hadn’t taken into account how much in the way they were. Yes, the streets were filled with people, but she often didn’t let that affect her, being who she was, yet she quickly followed along the other, keeping up with her, even as they made their way through the crowd.

“I shall make sure to find a way to repay you for your time of course. I am not one to just take and oh, where are my manners. I’m called Skelly, but you can also just call me Skel. “ Once they were a bit out of the street closer to the storefront she did properly grab the helm of her dress, while curtsying for the other.

"Hmm. Now where could it be." The shadow maid mused to herself while walking across the busy city street, all the while carrying a bad full of necessities she was sent out to the human world to get. She had a huge list on her, which she wasn't even half way through yet, even with the bag she was carrying almost spilling out.

She still needed plenty of ingredients the different dinners and meals she'd be preparing at the castle for those who couldn't eat the shadow worlds meals while also looking around for different study materials and such for flare, upon having been given a request from her.

Yet, as always the human world and its cities had changed quite a bit after her last visit and it was hard to find everything she needed on her own. She would indeed require assistance of sorts, but with so many people passing her by or giving her odd looks due to her strange outfit or costume just reaching out for anyone wasn't really an option. Instead, she stood still for a moment, taking in everything and everyone she could see, before stepping out over to her.

With a big and bright smile on her face, she'd step in front of the other, nodding her head slightly. "Excuse me there Miss. Do you mind if i take a moment of your time? I seem to be a bit lost."

Do y’all ever get this like sudden spark of inspiration to do like a comic or piece of art but it’s right when you’re about to fall asleep so you just tell yourself to do it in the morning, but when morning comes that drive and inspiration is just suddenly gone?

That’s really just how it is rn

[snickeringdragon]

been playing terraria alot recently and i wish i could befriend the bosses so bad. the effects of undertale on the average me,,,,,, i need the wall of flesh to be my best friend terraria mod where i can just talk to moon lord and we become besties

[laymanterms]

just listened to Melanie in Testament while drunk and I get her now. I just. understand. its nothing personal. her VA did a wonderful job of conveying her resignation and her bitterness accumulating over her years and manifesting as something supernatural

[addicted2coke-theothercoke]

Okie, last one and then I'll be all caught up. And my goodness we got another character voice tag. Writers on Tumblr, I love yall, but we need to add a little variety to our tag games.

Okay so my line is: "Is it just me, or is it really cold in here?"

Well if it isn't broken, I haven't used it enough, lets try to come up with more Downfall lines on the spot

"Is it just me, or is it really cold in here?"(no context)

The Witch Thief: "Perhaps none of you have noticed yet, but is it not starting to get a tad cold?

Caitlin Skel: "It's freezing in here, like the breath of far deep caves still populated with Roring Burgs, we should move."

Hollower: "Cold."

Alius: "Have you noticed it yet, Michael, the chill in the air which forewarns a coming doom?"

EDIT I FORGOT TO TAG PEOPLE Your line is: "When is it all going to end?"

@dyrewrites @shepardsherd @illarian-rambling

Character Voice Tag

Rules: rewrite a line in the voice of your OCs, then make up a new line for the next people

Thanks @illarian-rambling for the tag! My line is, “God, she’s such a bitch,” although I swapped the pronouns on it a few times

Belladonna: “She’s insufferable. She has no manners, no decorum, no sense of- anything! She’s unbearable!”

Cassie: “God I fucking hate her stuck-up prissy ass. What a fucking bitch.”

Nellie: “I don’t like her. She shouldn’t treat you like that.”

Narcissus: “I cannot believe him. The nerve, the absolute arrogance- to draw attention away from me? At my engagement party? Practically criminal! He should be taken away at once. I will not stand for such despicable behavior at my engagement. This should be about me, not some minor noble with a constant need for attention.”

Ricinus: “That bitch. Whoring herself out again, no doubt.”

Goldenrod: “He’s such an unbearable bastard. Have you seen where his eyes linger?”

Cassiopeia: “That slimy little clever bitch. You think you can outsmart me?”

Stellaris: “I hate her. She’s so mean, and it makes me feel…” *gestures for the right word, eventually settles on one that’s close* “bad.”

Rhys: “She… isn’t very nice, I’ll admit.”

These might’ve gone a little further off the line than usual but I decided to have a bit of fun with this one :). Every character in this one is talking about another character in this list! I’d love to see your guesses on who’s complaining about whom :)

Anyway, I’ll see if @kaylinalexanderbooks @elsie-writes and @autism-purgatory want to play this one! Your line is, “Why are you staring at me?”

[ratsoh-writes]

what about the undertale, underswap, underfell and fellswap gold boys with an S/O who accidentally gets way too drunk and calls their skel at like 2 am and does an over the top speech about how much they love them

Sans: ok first of all, it’s a miracle that your call even woke him up, so he’s not really all the way there. He’ll be all “love you too babe” then pass right out again. In the morning once he remembers the night before, he’ll be all “sh*t” and frantically call you back to make sure you’re home and safe.

Papyrus: he worriedly asks where you are, and once it’s been established you’re safe ant home and just stupid drunk, he’ll sleepily listen to you ramble. He’ll definitely tease you about this later

Star: he’s giggling. He records your whole rant and plays it back to you the next time he sees you. That was pure gold

Honey: he’s torn between embarrassment at your declarations of love and laughing at you because you’re so clearly drunk. He settles for being resigned to his fate and stays on the phone until he’s sure you’ve fallen asleep

Red: “where are you? Do you know what time it is????” Red has a hard enough time sleeping on his own, there’s no ways he’s sleeping now. Yea he’s annoyed. Drunk words mean nothing to him, especially not at this hour.

Edge: he’s even more annoyed then red is. Once he learns you just decided to get drunk at home, he’s gonna lecture you on the phone. Calling him at this hour made him think there was an emergency!??

Mal: he’s not happy at all. Mal isn’t a fan of drinking and will be disappointed that his SO is drunk and alone. He’s real mad at you right now

Cash: if this is one of the nights where cash is actually sleeping, then the phone won’t wake him up. If this is an insomnia night, then he’ll answer. Cash is having the time of his life messing with you. He is a little disappointed that you got drunk though. (Remember he is a recovering alcoholic/drug user so he really shouldn’t be around a SO who can’t be responsible with stuff like this)

Oak: you get put on voice mail. There’s no way his ringtone wakes him up. Oak is practically dead when he sleeps. He’s gonna be real confused and worried once he does hear your voicemail though

Willow: same reaction as papyrus but more annoyed. You really shouldn’t be drinking at this hour.

Edit* I just realized anon asked for fellswap gold too! My bad lol

Wine: he’s quick to make sure you’re somewhere safe, but once his fears are resolved, he’ll settle for gently reprimanding you. You’re drunk right now so he’s not really putting any effort into it

Coffee: is immediately worried and will actually try to find you if you don’t tell him where you are. Once he knows you’re safe, he’s gonna mess with you and record your reactions. It’s payback for waking him up at this ungodly hour

[villafordefeatedvillains]

my boyfriend is so fucking mean to me

[kuvvydraws]

Sooooooooo

  I may have, like immediately, continued the story from before with your additions added to it. So here we go, the next installment of 

ThunderBolt and Flash.

(Its long just so you know, and I am making a seperate google doc to record the story and your additions to it. This is proving to be a marvelous way for me to get my literary muscles working once more)

The Sweet Ones

At first, they flinch from the contact, only slightly. But as time goes by, and they keep that constant touch, slowly they seem to relax, just a bit. The constant thuds and exasperated sound of Papyrus hitting the doorway catches their attention, and seeing it for a bit leaves them a lil dazed…then he does it again, and they honest to God snort under their breath and chuckle. When the next flash comes they stiffen a lil, but as Poplar and Blue begin to ramble, talking about butterflies, to the best way to cook pasta, and even somehow getting into a rant about which pokemon are best (Bulbasaur is best boy, Gengar deserves a hug and Lugia is magnificent and totally a bird, yes they swim, ever heard of penguins?!) the human begins to relax again, and even joins in on the bandwagon.

And if every flash they press a little more into Ash and Sans, and in lull moments to gently grip their hands in gratitude, well who’s gonna say anything? And when they fall asleep next to these skele boys, and they don’t have their usual nightmares, the skeleboys are gonna have a much brighter, still subdued, but happier human friend come morning.

They still seem nervous going outside, but in the following days, their mood has definitely improved. A couple thunderstorms later, shared together, and a soft “thank you” would find its way being spoken to these sweet boys, each getting a hug of thanks and a soft earnest and genuine smile.

Team Anxiety

They notice the company through the haze of their own terror, and at first nothing changes. But slowly, the human starts getting more concerned over their fear, till instead of being comforted, they’re trying to comfort the anxiety team instead, taking bone hands from hoodie ends, and giving them things to be occupied with doing. It ends up being that distracting them helps distract themself, and they don’t really notice the thunderstorm, having slid into ‘my friends need me’ mode unconsciously. Going to make some honey sweetened hot chocolate for swap pap, deliberately starting a lil argument with Red that pulls him into talking and focusing on something else, and somehow wrangling Swapfell Pap into a blanket and keeping them nearby, and it turns into this strange comfort circle, everyone trying to comfort the other.

They are definitely more centered and put together afterwards, nightmares gone as their concern takes precedent. With some more similar instances under their belt, they’d ask if the skeleboys are afraid of thunderstorms as well? And when they are told that it’s not the case, but instead they had noticed that the human was scared of them and were trying to help….well if a smile could be fond and sad at the same time, then the human does one. And they would give some very sincere thanks to them.

I’ll fistfight Zeus for you Squad

Perhaps the strangest reaction the human would have. The comfort items and food does help, and as they are busy distracting themselves with eating, they would notice the getting up, walking around…the patrolling. And the human would need to simply breathe for a moment…cause they recognize this behaviour. They see it happen when you guys go out to new places, or when one of the skele boys was sick for a bit…they would do this patrol as their way to make sure that…you guys were safe. And that would warm the human, and just the knowledge that two incredibly skilled individuals, friends, would consider their situation deserving of patrol status would have them struggling not to cry slightly.

They would calm down after a visit to the bathroom, and when they return, it would be a gradual decrease in their terror, as in their mind they imagine bolts of lightning being defeated and blocked by these two stalwart guardians. Even in their nightmare that night, it’s protected by their Skele guardians…and if they wake up and find themselves in the kitchen, whereupon said warm awkward hug, sincere comfort is offered by these two, well..they go back to sleep in much more assured spirits. They had never had that reaction to their fear before, even moreso, without being bombarded with questions about it. And it was consistent behaviour to…and that…that was more precious than they realized, as the one time they tried riding it out by themself and not with the skel bro’s was torture.

It’s after that time they made sure to always be with the skel boys during stormy seasons. Just being around them made everything so much easier to handle. It was getting to the point that you barely even considered the thunder and lightning that would flash outside, too comfortable, too at ease, feeling too safe and cared for to even contemplate your fear. And as this happens each time a thunderstorm occurs in the skele house when you’re with them, it does have an effect on the human, one seen during their next sleepover during a thunderstorm. So, during the next thunderstorm, as everyone is relaxing in the living room, you speak up, to use their bathroom for a bit, having brought your sleeping bag with you. You’ve done it before, it’s actually customary now whenever a storm is in the area for you to be at the skele house for a sleepover. So that doesn’t raise eyebrows, or well eye sockets…it’s when they come down..in shorter soft pants and a sleeveless hoodie, exposing their arms and legs for the first time.

It’s then that they would notice the very visible lichtenberg scar that runs down the front of their right leg and across their left arm, as though lightning had patterned itself onto their body. What is their reaction to this sight, of this scar along their friend’s body?

(I already have the story of how they got these scars written down, but I wanna see the boys reaction to the sight first)

Feeling bad

Like really bad

Like "everything is spiraling again" bad

Vent under the cut

Sorry for venting so much lately it makes me feel bad to do it but it's supposed to be healthy or something so idk

This is very jumbled and incoherent because I'm honestly just rambling but hErE wE gO

I think I'm gonna be alone again

Just like when Skel left all 4 times

But at least it's not ghosting or petty abandonment this time

It feels really selfish to be upset about considering the predicament my friend who's going is in now and was in the first place

Anyways

Everything is gonna spiral again I just know it

And I'm fucking terrified I might start relapsing and attempting worse than before

I'm always gonna be stuck in my head

I'll be lost during school and unable to focus

My rooms gonna get terrible again (as if it ever got better lol)

Not to mention already having a panic attack over my dads

I just realized how much I'm probably gonna fucking split
