#so you might see glitchy pop up again

[aqqleshiqqing-archive]

hii, it's the anon that asked about red earlier. thank you so much for explaining I understand now! but also I would love to hear what inspired u to ship w/ red👀

(no pressure tho, I love reading about what drew ppl to their f/os, in a way it's like their story of how they met)

WELP OKAY HERE GOES!!! (thank you so much by the way, im always so happy to know there's people out there who enjoys my rambles!)

alright... these pictures should help get the idea first

so, almost a year ago - I actually started selfshipping with THIS red, but the twist is that he's a creepypasta equivalent for pokemon! or pokepasta I should say. keep in mind this isn't jaide :3 this is emme! she's only exclusive to the pokepasta media

this red design was taken from frid.ay nigh.t funki.n's community created mod named hypno's lullaby which basically revives the classic "scary" stories you'd hear back in the day but they turned it into a rhythm HORROR game ALSKAKKEKEKAA (if you know fri.day n.ight fun.kin then you probably know how this game could look like. it's so high quality for something that's community created.)

^^^ LOOK THERE HE IS ^^^ MY EDGELORD BABYGIRL

anyway so while I was busy crushing on this red, (he is named glitchy red here!) I kinda got curious how he actually looks like (my common knowledge for pokemon was very poor at the time) and mind you, I did not play pokemon yet. at least, I didn't get addicted yet 💀 so I went to check, saw the many iterations of red via his gallery etc etc and then... i saw sm red 😭 and I just ???????????????? hello???? that was the first time I saw him

.... and then I saw the fanart..... 💥💥 (which means. i now dig him too.) and that's how it happened 🧍i simultaneously like the spooki and normal one :3

thank you for listening ☕

FNF Mario.EXE x Reader

(Y/N’s POV)

Boyfriend, Girlfriend and I were all on our phones doing our own things until we all heard the doorbell ring. Boyfriend and I looked at each other and then at Girlfriend. Girlfriend was uninterested because she looked at us and then back at her phone. Boyfriend got up and went to the front door. Once he was there the door opened and a yellow among us character looked at him and handed him a package then it slammed the door shut. Boyfriend walked back over to us and placed the package down on the coffee table. “Did you order something Boyfriend?” I asked him while looking at the package. “Yeah, I ordered a Mario game off this new website called Temu.” (Not sponsored) “Well, what are you waiting for?! Open it!” Girlfriend said she was super excited. I quietly chuckled at Girlfriend’s excitement. Boyfriend chuckled and then ripped the packaging paper off only to see a bloodied cartridge with the name Mario on it. All of us stared at each other and then at the cartridge. “Should we play it?” Boyfriend asked the both of us. Girlfriend just shrugged. “I don’t know Boyfriend.. I think this might be a bad idea.” I tried to talk Boyfriend out of playing the game. “Don’t worry baby, It’ll be fine.” Boyfriend assured me. I still felt like this was a bad idea but I went along with it. Girlfriend and I sat on the couch as Boyfriend placed the game inside the console and grabbed a controller as the game booted up. Boyfriend sat next to me while Girlfriend laid down on the couch next to me. The game screen popped out and Boyfriend started playing. He was doing pretty good until he touched a goomba and Mario let out a terrifying glitchy scream. The screen then glitched red and the game turned off. Boyfriend and I looked at each other slightly terrified. We both looked at Girlfriend and she was busy watching some random spanish video. Boyfriend then tried to get the game to work again but bloodied gloved hands grabbed both of us and pulled us both into the game.

I sat up and saw Boyfriend and Girlfriend on the ground face-first. Boyfriend got up and ran over to Girlfriend and I. Boyfriend started to worry Girlfriend but she smacked him and gave him a thumbs up. “Beep Pa Do?” Boyfriend asked me something in his beep language. “Yeah, I’m alright.” I told him. Boyfriend then started walking around until he bumped into a man. Boyfriend fell down and I ran over to him. The man then turned around and held out his hand. “Oh, you're looking for someone?” The mysterious man asked. “It seems like you don’t recognize me.” The man said in a familiar voice as I helped Boyfriend up. “It’s a me.. MARIO!” The demonic Mario said with a toothy grin. “Almost..” Boyfriend and I both started trembling in fear from this entity named Mario. “Oh, you two seem a little bit scared..” The demonic Mario mocking tone. “Well, don’t be.. I’m not gonna kill you… Yet.” Mario said as he twirled his butcher knife. “I want to have a little bit of fun with you before I end your lives.” Boyfriend and I felt uneasy towards this Mario entity until Girlfriend came out and cracked her knuckles as she transformed into her demon form.

The Mario Entity didn’t seem amused by the transformation. Girlfriend then tried to use her powers but as she raised her hand to summon her powers nothing happened. Mario.EXE then walked over to Girlfriend and smiled at her. “Oh, don’t bother using your powers there, useless here.” Mario.EXE then leaned close to Girlfriend’s face. “This is my world!” Mario.EXE said as he held his butcher knife close to Girlfriend’s face. Girlfriend let out a scared whimper. “Oh, you're gonna pay for what that traitor of a man you call a father did to me. All those years ago..” Mario.EXE said to Girlfriend as she shook in fear. “You on the other hand..” Mario.EXE said as he turned to look at Boyfriend. “I’ve heard so many stories about you. You’ve defeated lots of creatures. Some like myself.. ” Mario.EXE said to Boyfriend. “Monsters, Demons, Angels, Freaks..” “So how about we make a deal?” Mario.EXE asked as he held out his hand. “Three songs. Just three..” Mario.EXE said as he held up three fingers. “Beat me and I’ll let you go.” “Lose.. Then you’ll perish by my hand.” Mario.EXE said as he glared menacingly at Boyfriend.

A flying skeleton turtle flew down (Parabones) and dropped a mic to Boyfriend. Boyfriend noticed it and picked it up and agreed to the rap battle. “Very well.. Let’s a go!” Mario.EXE said to Boyfriend and as he and Boyfriend faced off. Girlfriend looked utterly shocked by the way things turned out. “WHAT?!” Girlfriend said in a shocked and confused tone. “Please be careful honey..” I told Boyfriend. Boyfriend nodded and got ready to rap battle against the demonic entity.

(No one’s POV)

During the rap battle Girlfriend looked very scared so (Y/N) hugged her close to them to try and keep her from panicking too much. Mario.EXE noticed this and seemed a little disappointed that (Y/N) seemed to be trying to help Girlfriend but he continued to focus on the rap battle between him and Boyfriend. Mario.EXE let out an evil laugh as his red glowing pupils went away and his jaw unhinged a bit and his singing seemed to get a little bit more threatening. Fire started to surround the place as the song started coming to an end. The song ended and Girlfriend and (Y/N) were near Boyfriend as he was trying to protect both of them from Mario.EXE. Mario.EXE laughed. “Oh, this is a so much fun.” Mario.EXE said as his pupils returned for a split second. “How’s a about we take things up a notch.” Mario.EXE said as his red pupil turned into a small pinprick. Mario.EXE then grabbed the three of them and threw them up onto a high platform.

Boyfriend got up and glared at Mario.EXE. Girlfriend sat on her knees shaking in fear as (Y/N) hugged her tightly. Mario.EXE was smiling menacingly but on the inside he was feeling very confused on why he was feeling jealous of Girlfriend and why he was feeling attracted to (Y/N). He had killed many people like them before so what was so special about them that made him want to have them. The second song started playing and Mario.EXE’s voice sounded very threatening in a “I’m having so much fun but in a sadistic kinda way..” Halfway through the song a random flying skeleton turtle (Parabones) started playing the trumpet. Boyfriend and (Y/N) looked at each other in confusion for a few seconds but then he returned his focus to the rap battle. After the parabones left everyone thought the rap battle was gonna go smoothly but a bloody and demonic Yoshi jumped onto the power block that was on one of the grass platforms and Mario.EXE fell through the platform and Yoshi and a demonic Princess Peach were now Boyfriend’s opponents. Peach’s voice sounded very high and demonic as she did very Princess-like poses while Yoshi’s voice sounded high and weird but it was still also demonic. Peach and Yoshi’s duet only lasted for a couple of minutes before they were both killed as Mario.EXE returned looking melted, his clothes were ripped and torn and his right arm was missing. The song ended and Mario.EXE let out an enraged scream. Boyfriend and Mario.EXE glared at each other. Boyfriend ran, grabbed (Y/N) and Girlfriend and jumped off the platform. Boyfriend screamed until a light glowed and was holding him, Girlfriend and (Y/N). They all looked at each other and then they were all teleported away. “So they found the warp star.” “Which means eventually they’ll stumble across the others.” Mario.EXE chuckled to himself as his arm regenerated. “But don’t worry.. Mario will get you next time..”

Mario will get you (Y/N) and you’ll never escape•~

Hey. My name is Gore Rat. This’ll sound so cringey and weird. I don’t know WHY I thought clicking on a random fucking link on a random fucking twitter post was a good idea, but hey. Make me an example to never click on SHIT without looking up the source.

It was your average Friday afternoon. I was in my room, scrolling on Twitter. I came across a post – linking to a website I didn’t recognize. I decided to read through the post, just to see if this website was worth clicking on.

“I found this weird Sonic game just lying around on the web. Played it for a bit – actually pretty damn cool. Instead of Sonic or Tails or any of the big popular characters, you can play as Silver and Blaze! There’s also a villain story – kind of like Sonic Adventure 2. Just thought I'd share it around the internet.”

Weird. It’s a classic Sonic game... but with Silver, Blaze, and a villain story? The longer I looked at the tweet, the more I wanted to click the link. Damn you, internet.

So, I did what any person would do. Opened Discord and hopped into a call with my two friends, Sasha and Riley. We boot up the link and immediately see red flags. The SEGA logo flickered? That’s not normal. I didn’t notice it at first – but Sasha did. She pointed it out, but my computer is trash as hell so I brushed it off as it processing the code weirdly.

The game played pretty normally, for the most part. Playing as Blaze was pretty damn cool, given we were never meant to play as her in the classic sonic mode. Sure, there were glitches here and there – some of the assets were unloaded. Looking through the recorded footage, we should’ve realized that was NOT normal.

The minor glitches only really happened in Green Hill. It didn’t matter much; the game was still very playable and fun. They died down in Chemical Plant. This, as far as we were concerned at this point, was just a fangame made by some Sonic ‘06 fanatic.

The next red flags, which were slowly getting more apparent as we played through the game, were the pop-ups. Things like “Warning - this game might have a virus!” and “Warning - suspicious activity within Classic_Silver_the_hedgehog.zip.” MAJOR red flag, but I guess we were too caught up praising the Blaze sprites to care.

Speaking of those, her sprites were kind of broken. Glitchy and the coloring was off. That’s why we were paying so much attention to it. It’s a dumb reason to ignore the red flags waving in our faces, but whatever. It was, like, three am. Our brains were too focused on how pink she looked rather than the off coloring and saturation of the background and the enemies, or lack thereof.

That was the next red flag. Where the hell were the enemies. We were meant to be fighting Eggman, but he just... wasn’t there? The game crashed after that. We all kind of agreed that was odd but we opened the game up again and decided to play as Silver, just to see how his powers would be implemented. Silver’s version of the game, good god was this shit BROKEN. Glitches, saturation, ZERO enemies, and there were flashes of words we couldn’t read because they lasted FIVE FUCKING SECONDS. This was probably the BIGGEST red flag.

We all agreed that we would continue playing in the morning since it was now four in the morning and Riley had things to do the next day. So, I closed out the game, left the call, and crawled back into bed.

Thinking about the situation, it kind of reminded me of that one news thing that happened when I was young. This guy named Kyle found dead in his house, his friend Tom following with a Sonic disk in his hands. Broken, at that, but that story always freaked me out. What murderer kills two guys and blames a Sonic the Hedgehog disk for it. Freak. Whatever, I eventually fell asleep.

We all got up the next day, and when Riley was free from the grasp of his dentist, we hopped on call. We booted the game up again and continued playing Silver’s route. Once more, let me say, HOLY FUCK, this game was BROKEN. The glitches got worse every single level, and the flashing words made me lower the brightness on my computer to avoid wanting to rip my eyes out. That’s how bad it was.

Sasha managed to go through the previous day’s footage and get the stuff from the flashing words. “HELP US,” “WHY WON’T YOU DIE,” “STUPID SLUTTY BITCH.” These sentences were so fucking... vulgar. And for what? A kids game? I swear, they were NOT warranted for whatever they were targeted to.

We got to the boss part and the game crashed again. I was actually going to start freaking out, cause when we opened the game, it mentioned me BY NAME. My computer’s name is DarkGoreRat. NOT my name. Freaked me out. I have NOTHING that refers to me by my actual name – my friends literally just started calling me Gore Rat.

I deleted the game, obviously. I’m not fucking stupid. I’m not keeping a game that knows my full name when I don’t even have it fucking saved.

If the creator of that fucked fangame reads this: You are an asshole. Spreading your game directed towards people and breaking their computers. Get a life, dickhead. But, otherwise, that’s all I can share until we can get everything figured out.

i played through Scanner Sombre today, and it has such a cool central mechanic that it breaks my heart that its existence kind of prevents any other team from doing something similar

the game is completely pitch black, since you're miles underground, and all you have is a device that emits dozens of small lasers per second, painting every surface they touch with a dot that changes color depending on how far you are from it. You directly map out the cave as you explore, making for an extremely unique and immersive experience

under the cut is where i complain a lot

this game did not need a story. i feel like the devs weren't confident enough for the game to speak for itself, even though it's literally the perfect 'show, don't tell' avenue for both gameplay and story. instead we're spoonfed information about the area we're in via text from the player character's thoughts. i couldn't help but think how much cooler it'd be for the player to just make guesses at what on earth the things they were finding could have been, or how they got there

also, the game is just naturally frightening. Maybe it's cuz i just watched The Descent recently, but the combination of the sound design and pitch darkness just makes for creepy atmosphere. Add the fact that you're not even seeing the environment for what it really is, and instead seeing impacts of a laser. Big missed opportunity where there could be something picked up initially, but when you go over to it it's gone (of course the laser in the game doesn't work as it would in real life, objects painted with dots have the dots move with them...somehow)

But instead of leaning into that natural, subdued, subtle horror (which happens enough in the game that i was pleased with it at least), the game throws in some glitchy effects and a ghost plot. I've always preferred my horror to be grounded, so this might just be a me issue, but dramatic music stings and glitchy effect humanoid shapes popping in suddenly had me rolling my eyes

this is where i talk about my ideal version of this game:

first, you begin at the entrance of the cave. There'd actually be some light here, but quickly as you get deeper the light disappears. You'd set up a sort of base camp here before going deeper into the darkness and using the laser scanner to paint your map

the caves would either have to be huge and expansive or randomly generated in some way. Considering nothing would really need to be rendered digitally, it wouldn't be a huge undertaking (that i know of). At certain, arbitrary points you could set up new camps, but you'd be limited to a certain number of how many you could set up. These camps would also have lanterns by them, and would act as your save points

Since i love being totally immersed in stuff, i think that water shouldn't reflect the dots you place. Sure, it's pretty, but it makes no sense. The laser might have enough fidelity to understand when it's hitting water and not render, but water should remain black, and sound queues will tell players when water is nearby (again, like in the actual game)

Rappelling and other climbing mechanics should be integrated, allowing for even deeper traversal, and the deeper you go the more inexplicable discoveries you make (eg: a completely square room among the caves, manmade structures like in the game, a creature that moves constantly so you have to have your laser on it while you try not to make too much noise)

in conclusion, i loved this game purely for the gameplay it provided, but think it got totally kneecapped by the narrative. I hope someone else comes along and picks up this idea and runs with it (if introversion software would let them)

Happy birthday Virgil!!!

hello everybody! It's Virgil's B-day!

wahoo!

and congratulations to him winning on the spinning on the competition thing that I didn't read about, and to some other contenders as well, and I am a little disappointed that the rainbow lost, but it's OK, I never thought he would go against Nigel.

now to everyone that likes Nigel don't get the wrong idea, I'm OK with him winning, But the thing is I kind of have a hate love relationship kind of thing towards him, I like him but I hate him sometimes, he's still a good character, but the other half of me that hates him I honestly don't know, And if anyone has seen the reblog of me saying vote for Glitchy thing, It's because that me and my cousin made a little joke about him winning and that is his purpose, but I think it's a good thing though, the poor lad has been through a lot of things, and he's an absolute baby, (I'm saying that in a good way because he is cute), So yeah.

also let's not go too mad in this whole competition thing, The last time I witnessed something like this, basically my cousin had something like this happened to them before, I think it got fun in the beginning but then it got really bad towards the end with their favorite character was about to win against another character, So it doesn't matter who wins, or who loses, the good thing about it is just that we're all having fun and designing our favorite characters doing funny things, so let's not get competitive with this, It's just being about having fun, and saying something like if you hate this character I will block you kind of thing, It's not good, I know I shouldn't be saying that, But I just don't want anything bad to happen and everyone fighting each other, and blocking each other for no reason, All because they might hate a character they don't like, we can't force them to like the character, It's not that good, Because the worst thing that will happen is that you will probably more than likely lose followers, and friends you have made, I know someone will look at this and think I'm saying something bad, but I'm not, ,I'm trying to find a way to keep some peace between all of us, and so that way some people can keep their followers too, so you guys can just think about this or you can just ignore this post if you want, I don't care, if you want you can reblog this post if you want to.

I just don't want anything bad to happen to our communities, so this might not be the greatest post and the greatest Happy Birthday to Virgil, but I just don't want anything bad happening, so when round 2 comes around for this competition thing, do tell me what it is called in the comments please, So like I said it doesn't matter who wins all loses, the best thing is to have fun, and the plus side I know this isn't probably gone to do nothing and everyone's still gonna get competitive, if this does do something, do tell me.

so I wish you well, and keep safe, and don't give up.

see y'all next time I pop around and Happy birthday to Virgil again. ^w^

As for my review of Teal Mask, I think its fine enough, but could have used a bit more story to it and a few small towns. I feel like I tried to pad out the experience as much as I could on my own, but it was still a lot shorter than expected.

What's still unacceptable is the performance and glitchiness. Slow downs, clip ins, and other glitches are still present- some are a little worse than you'd expect. Now granted, it's not as bad as SV at launch, but it's still very, VERY noticeable when they didn't even bother to polish shadow pop ins or map clipping in actual cutscenes or important trainer battles. And this is the thing- slow downs had been fixed a little until they dropped Teal Mask, so idk what's wrong. They could have waited til October and polished it up a bit, but I guess they REALLY wanted to catch the tail end of summer. At this point, they must no longer give a damn about performance at all and just want it to be done and over with- which on a certain level I can say "mood," but on a level of someone that bought the game, I can say "hey what the fuck???" And no, boycotting wouldn't have worked- Pokemon is at the point where saying "i'm gonna boycott" actually helps their sales, so there's no point in bothering.

But still, I will point it out again, and so will others so that the next games will be polished a little better.

As for the actual content- I did enjoy what was here, but again, I feel like they could have added more.

More under the cut:

Carmine and Kieran are the main new characters you'll be focused on, and they're decently entertaining and likeable for different reasons.

Carmine is a bitch- She hates you because you're a foreigner tourist, she's vain, she's full of herself, she's cocky- and it's enjoyable actually getting to go from such a rough welcome to becoming her friend. She's a fun asshole that made me laugh more than once, and it's always fun to knock her down a few pegs. In a way she's similar to Klara, except Carmine isn't quite as much of a pushover and has valid reasons to be a bitch. But again, her growth is fun to watch- not in the sense she ever stops being a bitch, because thankfully she just stays that- No she just becomes Bitch, but Friendly, and that's fine, great even! She's snide, rude, and competent, and I like it.

Kieran, however, is a rival that does something I've wanted Game Freak to do for YEARS- but unfortunately, it's just for a small time dlc rival. Still, his growth is unique for a "friendly rival" in that he goes full reverse, and you get to watch him just actively lose his god damn marbles. It's great! :D I look forward to seeing him again one day, because his team was actually super strong.

The rest of the characters- if we can call them that- are just basically NPCs- with the exception of Briar.

Briar doesn't really do too much, but she's... suspicious. Thats about how I can describe her.

Now I'd also add Ogerpon here- I was shocked with how on the mark I was with my predictions. I won't spoil anything but I do like him a lot.

OH SHIT, I forgot Perrin, which is weird because I actually really liked her. Perrin doesn't get a whole lot of stuff, she's literally for a mission, but she is entertaining in that she finds cuteness in any Pokemon she sees. Her whole side mission is really fun too, and I think she might be hinting that she'll return in a future game? Unsure.

Oh, there's also an annoying side quest with rich people- they're annoying, but you'll want to do it for another side quest. trust me.

Story is decent enough- definitely not as in depth as the base story, but unlike IoA and CT, Teal Mask actually sets itself up properly for Indigo Disk to be a continuation of the story. The story here is pretty small though, but its interesting to see how Carmine and Kieran grow and interact with the main character. The story of Ogerpon and The Loyal Trio, while not the most eloquently written, is actually not quite as front and center as we were led to believe. Kieran's obsession with Ogerpon is actually weirdly refreshing- I can't think of a single rival that actually competed with us for the right to catch a legendary Pokemon.

That being said, again, it is short lived and not nearly enough was done to justify all the promotion. I think we could have had The Loyal Trio be alive and living in the lap of luxury and see how they're actually jerks- that would have helped cement the "alternative story" we were told, and could have padded out story by giving us missions to either rein them in or fix problems they cause. Maybe have Perrin play a slightly bigger role in helping us find Ogerpon, have Briar actually do something besides be a suspicious chaperone-

Hell, instead of the 3 nameless NPCs that come with us, more could have been done story wise by having Arven, Nemona, and Penny with us as a group trip instead of it being "a lottery." Nemona could have been a battling menace, Arven could have been looking for new ingredients, Penny could comically struggle to find good signal, etc. Or heck, make them actually characters that have smaller arcs. I guess they couldn't do that because technically you can play Teal Mask as soon as you begin the treasure hunt, and in fact you can battle Ogerpon at both level 30 or level 70, so I guess maybe they couldn't outright connect it too much to them- but I still say maybe a post SV main story bit could have been added for those three plus us, and maybe Carmine.

I think all of this is going to pick up a tad more with Indigo Disk- I just hope it's not as quick as Teal Mask was.

Now as for other things:

Music is good- I think though they swapped to some older music making style that doesn't sound as good quality wise as Paldea music. But I absolutely LOVE Carmine's theme, and the wild battle music is a cool mix of Hisui and Paldea. The legendary music is also fun, and I'll definitely go back to listen to Ogerpon's. But Carmine and Kieran's music sounds a lot like it was made with the same DS soundfont style that you'd hear in Bede's theme or something. Crystal Pool, though, is hauntingly pretty and reminiscent of Area Zero.

Graphics have a more saturated color and are improved in some areas- but other than a few locations, there's just not really a lot to look at. Crystal Pool, however, is a really pretty place, and there's some very strangely unique cave areas that look like you're supposed to DO something in there, but nothing came of it. There's certain areas where textures look great, certain where they look bad. Actually, I find that I have similar issues as I did with Legends Arceus, where the textures and graphics just don't load until you're right in front of them, and you can visibly see the bubble range when grass, trees, and mountains just suddenly appear or gain texture. Hell, flowers just spawn less than 2 feet from you. Again, shadows and textures clip and glitch sometimes too- even in talking scenes, and that just isn't acceptable. Overall, texture work feels like they stretched out certain outdoor textures to make them look gross and pixelated or really realistic in others.

That being said, I think Indigo Disk might look better- I only saw a snippet right at the end, but there's a room I think I've seen as part of Blueberry Academy in the trailers and it actually looks like it comes from this decade, so I hope it looks that good when it eventually comes, because a lot of the rest looks unfinished. Charming enough in some places, just... could be better.

Now that's the environmental graphics- character and Pokemon models look pretty decent and have some good texture work. I suspect that's a different studio making those, though. But god damn, someone was paying attention to Perrin's ass and legs, and Briar's ass too. Not a complaint, I'm glad they had fun- you can just see the creases in the pants though is all I'm saying lol. The new character models look really good overall, and Carmine, Kieran, and Briar have really interesting eyes.

Animation isn't really much to write home about except what I think are mocap animations in regular talking- which is about par per course for base SV. That being said, it's kind of stiff in some scenes, particularly in some scenes with The Loyal Trio, where you can practically see them moving robotically as they move in scene to run away. It gets a bit worse when you see the frames drop from npc's within very close range.

the new Pokemon and forms are... Okay, I guess. Ogerpon is definitely one of my favs and her masks are very fun, and Okidogi is easily the better of the trio. Blood Moon Ursaluna also looks great, although I do prefer og Hisuian. The rest are... ehh to bad. I have slight hope for Dipplin since, apparently, it can use Eviolite- Pokemon that can't evolve further can't use it, ergo it must be able to evolve, just not until Indigo Disk.

One more complaint is that I feel like the map being smaller than Paldea probably helps it run better, but I think a few towns or villages are necessary, just full stop. Kitakami having 1 town just doesn't vibe right with me. In that regard, it almost makes Paldea feel smaller in comparison, because this one village has all of this land, you know?

I know I've done a lot of complaining, but I did honestly find stuff I liked. First of all, once you progress enough in Carmine and Kieran's story, you can get the Teal Card which unlocks more hair styles and a shit ton of more accessories to Paldean stores- Clothes wise, though, you only get new Jinbei outfits, and you don't get the other two until you beat the main story, and then a special one until you do one more side quest. But, more customization is always nice. and I finally have a hairstyle that I'm somewhat okay with.

The pokemon variety in Kitakami is also surprisingly done well. I've used Pokemon I wasn't really expecting to use, such as Poliwrath, Yanmega, and Morpeko. Even then, I'm surprised to see some Pokemon like the Conkeldurr or Tandemaus families here- mainly because this is WAY far away from Paldea and back in Japan.

That's another thing I like- outright confirmation that this is way, WAY far away from Paldea and not just a repurposed European area to the north. A plane and bus ride are required to get here- this makes it the furthest new area a main character has ever traversed, and to me? That's really cool. Further still, they tell us point blank at the beginning that Blueberry Academy is in UNOVA, which I am excited and a little scared for, but don't expect to really get to explore all that much. Idk, stuff like that feels very soulful to me.

Speaking of Soul, there's a decent amount of Hisui love in the Blood Moon quest. I won't spoil it, but something happens that made my jaw drop, and it was really, REALLY amazing.

Finally, difficulty is subjective to each player and how they approach this dlc, much like IoA. I think, however, they tweaked it way better to be beginner friendly AND very challenging for post game content with npc characters and wild pokemon you can encounter VERY EARLY (if you're not careful or go venturing too far off) being around level 70+. Personally, I brought along some Pokemon around level 60 and 50 to get me started and had some difficulty, then I went further and caught local pokemon and trained them up too with even more difficulty. But it was still pretty fun, the fights were challenging, Carmine and Kieran actually use strategy to win, and the NPCs can kick your ass if you're not prepared. I actually lost a battle to a bitch in a cave of all things.

Overall, a 6/10 is passing, even if barely. I dock points because of lack of polish and glitches, and then dock a couple more because of things I wish they'd have done differently. I enjoyed it, but they seriously needed to let it cook longer. No, you did encounter glitches and I am not exaggerating or making it up, you're just not paying attention to the slow downs or floor clipping in battles or you're just outright lying to yourself. Make your concerns heard so GF will actually do something about it- They do listen sometimes, believe it or not, even if most of the time they plug their ears up and hum gen 1 music to silence most criticism.

I actually look forward to Indigo Disk. At this point, I hope it releases in January and not November. They need to take their time with it, because I have a feeling things are going to be a bit more story heavy.

OOC: mourning is not linear (CW: talk of paranormal stuff and death)

So, I'm not entirely sure where to start with this.

Both my maternal grandparents passed in the first half of 2018. It was sad, but they were both quite old, and I'm honestly glad they passed before the Plague hit.

Fast forward to like a year or two ago. I've been into paranormal stuff on and off my whole life. I got back into it because a friend was all "dude, you need to watch Hellier. It'll blow your mind." Hellier is a docuseries that follows a group of people who investigate, well, spooky shit. Ghosts and cryptids and haunted objects and stuff. Specifically, this group investigates a bunch of weird spooky stuff happening in Hellier, Kentucky. You got cave goblins, connections to Mothman, Ufonauts, stuff like that. Cool, creepy stuff. Watched the series several times.

Today, I saw the Hollywood movie The Mothman Prophecies for the first time. And looking at the stuff in the movie from the book that gets referenced and investigated in Hellier, I suddenly had a pervasive thought - my grandfather would have LOVED this shit.

I was told once or twice, growing up, that my grandfather had been director of a UFO investigation group back in the 70's and 80's. I reached out to my mom today and asked her if Pop had ever mentioned Ufonauts, Mothman, or Indrid Cold. She couldn't remember, but she said she'll reach out to her siblings to see if they do.

Now for more spooky shit: I'm kind of a medium. I don't have "powers" or anything, I don't advertise, I don't have abilities on command. It's like if a typical person is a cell phone with no sim card, and I'm a cell phone with a glitchy sim card, where it usually doesn't work but sometimes does, but I can't control it. And I connect with a deceased person I have a connection with. I get messages through dreams. More often lately, though, are pervasive thoughts and memories. A thought that just won't go away until I say "okay, I hear you, I get it."

Once, it was the memory of a family friend's father's funeral from several years ago. It just kept bugging me, sticking to me, so I told my dad. He told me that the friend's mother just died and I should call him. So I did. I told the friend about my pervasive thought. He told me it was comforting, because he had been debating having a flower arrangement for his mother's funeral signed from her husband. My thought, my vision, confirmed what he wanted to do. He interpreted it as "yes, include me."

Another time, a distant friend in our community had terminal cancer. I wasn't close to him, but he was well known and loved in our community. One day, out of nowhere, I get another pervasive thought - "I don't want to die, I'm afraid of leaving my wife behind. Who will care for my wife?" I couldn't shake the thought. It was so sad. A few hours later, I got confirmation that the friend had passed. I hadn't known that his health had taken a turn for the worse - I only knew he was terminal, but didn't know how much time he'd had left. I shared the vision with my wife and she said that the friend's biggest concern was how his wife would feel, and if she'd be taken care of.

Today, while watching/discussing the Mothman and Hellier stuff, the pervasive thought happened - that Pop would have loved all this. Couldn't shake it. Had watched and talked about this kind of stuff before, maybe had a passing thought that Pop might enjoy this, but never so strongly, never such a sticky thought.

So yeah. I reached out to my mom, she didn't have any information, and now I'm kind of mourning again.

My grandfather and I didn't get along super well. We were civil, but we didn't see eye to eye a lot. I saw myself as a better writer as a teen, as he was also a writer, and while I was polite enough not to say it, I was definitely feeling superior and on my high horse. When he brought up UFO stuff, I was more of a skeptic.

Today, I mourn that I was immature and took our time for granted. I mourn that we couldn't share this super cool thing together. That I wasn't able to create an opportunity to bond. That I didn't create an opportunity to bond.

I feel like with my other-worldly sensitivity and his history, we could have bonded. Had our own Hellier-esque investigations. Maybe made my grandmother roll her eyes before saying "well, at least they're having fun."

Mourning is not a one-time thing, and it's not linear.

And even better, when I looked on the porch, there was Smiler's missing drone! Reloading the lot had also reloaded it! I had Smiler go activate it while Victor and Alice got up and swam back to shore to retrieve their dinners (I also tried to have Victor set the outside table, only for him to protest he couldn't reach every seat after the first two -- I guess the little cabana-thing I put it under is actually too small! Whoops, my bad) and attempted to have them do their sand sculpture video --

Only for the actual building of the sand sculpture to never complete. Smiler just -- stood there while the drone filmed. I could not get them to actually complete the action. I finally got annoyed and canceled out the video -- which the game informed me was a "Charisma Video" when it prompted me to name it. I was like "...I know Smiler is everyone's best friend, but -- seriously? Charisma for just STANDING there, not even facing the camera half the time??" Sims 4 be weird and glitchy, yo.

Oh, and speaking of both that and best friendship, who should come running up around this time but Leila, with that "I wanna be best friends" pop up that annoys me so much! Smiler wasn't interested, as they'd just met a few hours earlier, but let her down easy with a quick brightening of her day before sending her on her way. Might as well not make a big thing of it -- she's not the first to do that (by a long shot -- again, need a mod to stop that if possible), and it already triggers a bad sentiment, so...we can be nice. This time.

With Leila on her way back home, the trio had a nice little family dinner together, Victor and Alice enjoying the fish (yeah, I know fish isn't usually Victor's thing, but I suspect he can make an exception for a) a special island vacation meal and b) a fish he caught himself) while Smiler had a plasma fruit. Victor and Alice then went to bed properly, in an attempt to sleep through the night, and Smiler went to jam on the back porch for a bit before trying again to make their sand sculpture video. And THIS time, thankfully, it worked, with Smiler making another cowplant-head sculpture for the camera. So that's nice! :) And once that video was in the can, I had them work on upgrading said camera, so future videos would be even better quality. :) Gotta think of the SimsTube channel, after all!

And so the day ended with Smiler back on their laptop, creating a proper social media profile online and making a few posts on a forum. What a lovely day for a honeymoon. :) Next time, though, the rain returns, prompting an early trip home to celebrate a certain fall holiday I added to the calendar...see you then!

Chapter 3: Crossed feelings and Fuzzy Memories

Error, annoyed by the thoughts clogging his mind decided to summon a portal screen to watch some reruns of Undernovella. He tried to focus on it to distract himself but the familiar ringings of Blue's glitchy voice kept echoing in his head. 'I thought maybe if I just try to be friends with him, it might get him to stop causing so much suffering because he was suffering himself' and the images of the skeleton in white kept popping up; memories that felt alien and strange, but yet uncannily familiar. Another fuzzy image popped into his mind of that same skeleton, this time it was an image of his hand opening up a glitchy portal screen, similar to how he could do. The screen revealed a familiar scene in Undertale where Papyrus was challenging the human to the puzzle. The skeleton in white placing a feeble hand on the screen.

Then another memory, this one of the skeleton's mandible. A soft delicate but sad smile slowly tracking across his face trailed by small streams of crimson blood from his mouth. Error felt a twinge of pain as he glitched from the memory and shook the image from his mind.

"That stupid Blueberry," Error muttered to himself. "Who does he think he is thinking he knows my motives of doing what I do!" He bit into his chocolate bar aggressively, snapping a large piece off in between his teeth, in a likely scenario he was channeling his denial into that chocolate bar like an artist making vent art.

The sounds from the Undernovella rerun filled the silence along with Error's aggressive munching noises. He looked down at his chocolate bar as he continued to chew the piece in his mouth, and a memory replayed of him smacking Blue with his glasses and him giving a chocolate bar to Blue. He sighed heavily with a gruff and opened a portal to underfell, this time not even being sneaky about it nor putting effort into it he used his strings to snatch a chocolate bar off the counter of the Underfell skeleton brothers' counter.

"HEY YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! STOP STEALING MY CHOCOLATE, Underfell Sans' voice rang out from the portal.

"Yeah, yeah I heard it before abomination 13," Error annoyingly remarked, shutting the portal before Fell's bone attack could reach the anti-void.

Error looked up at Blueberry's limp body in the strings. A loading bar showing above his head with the word 'rebooting' above it. The progress was roughly half way.

"huh, so that is what my crashes look like," Error remarked, still feeling that heaviness again that he felt earlier. Out of curiousity, he reeled blue down until he was within reach of Error. He had the curiousity to see if blue would react to touch the same way he did, or if it would bring him out of a reboot, but at the same time he was also racked with his hapherphobia. Making a nervous gulp, and closing his eyes tightly, he reached for blueberror, and tapped him. Amazingly, it did not cause him to glitch or crash. Error shocked by this revelation poked him again just to confirm that he was not imagining things, but it was true. Touching Blue didn't cause him to glitch. Was it because they were both errors or was it because Blue was someone he trusted…well used to trust, he couldn't figure it out.

The progress bar on blue progressed, it lurched forward until it was 3/4s of the way complete. Error pulled back his hand and pulled Blue back up to the ceiling again but within eye reach. He stared at him again with conflicted feelings. He was just going to destroy him when he woke up out of spite or maybe just keep him there but this time he just couldn't get himself to do it, even when he felt he was betrayed by blue.

Now only the sounds of Undernovella broke the silence, Error couldn't get himself to watch it anymore and closed the screen portal. He sat on his beanbag chair again and pulled his legs close to his chest, and burried his head into his knees.

Hours passed and slowly Blue's loading bar progressed until it cleared and his consciousness returned. His limp body slowly coming back to life like a dry flower that recieved water.

"W-what happened…" Blue asked deleriously. Error tossed a chucked a chocolate bar in Blue's direction blue managed to catch it between his hands only to move his forearms and rotate his arms due to his bindings. He looked at Error with a confused but solemn look.

"There, eat." Error turned his gaze away from blue.

"What?" Blueberror said so confused. He could have sworn they were in the middle of a fight before this.

"You heard me," Error grunted refusing to avert his gaze back to blue. He couldn't bring himself to look at him right now.

Blue looked at the chocolate bar and then to Error. He was so confused as to why Error was doing this. He looked at the chocolate bar again and opened up the wrapper to it. "Um, Thank you I guess?" Blue ate took a small nibble from the corner of the bar. This felt familiar to him.

"Is…is this an apology?" Blue looked at him with unsure eyes.

"Shut it," Error snapped back.

Blue looked back at the chocolate bar and took another small bite into it.

"So….did you really mean to leave me in the void for so long? Why didn't you just destroy me when you had the chance?"

Error remained silent. He didn't want to think about it. This unfamiliar heavy feeling of guilt was something he wasn't used to. All this time he was so used to causing mayhem and destruction guilt free. Destroying AUs just felt like a normal part of the job. So why is this different?

"Why did you kidnap me all those years ago?" Blue asked in a soft manner. "You said I was the first person you ever took hostage so why was it me why didn't you take my brother when he offered?

Error hesitated, "I just wanted to try something new, that was all!" he gritted his teeth.

Blue looked down at the chocolate bar again and thought about the pleasant interactions he had with error before he left.

"But you could have picked anyone else in my world-"

"Would you shut up!" Error snapped at Blue not appreciating the prying of his motives. (edited)

They both sat there silently. Blue continued eating the chocolate while error took some strings from his eye sockets and started fidgeting with them.

BlueBerror's Conversion- a fan continuation of AskError Sans

So, I've had a lot of positive reception regarding my writing of fanfics that I am going to jump the shark and start posting my fanfic here. It was originally just a discord server exclusive, but the positive feedback and responses were enough to push me foward! I hope that you enjoy the fanfic like so many others did, and feedback is absolutely appreciated. I don't consider myself much of a writer heheh. *Story can be read below and following reblogs

Introduction: Continuing from the events of AskErrorSans blog, Underswap Sans sits alone in the antivoid with a single human soul in his possession. He starts to notice he is hearing the voices that Error claimed to hear, and he's been feeling strange feelings that are indescribable. He has not seen Error in years, and being alone with his thoughts, feelings, and the voices does not bode well for the little blue.

Chapter 1: Too Long in the Void

In the vast blankness of white that is the antivoid, a lone small skeleton donning blue armor, and a little red soul sat alone listlessly. The silence of the anti-void was deafening; as the usual sounds of Error's voice and the echoes of Undernovella that once dominated the space were absent and the lack of interaction with another made the void echo with an intense malevolent silence.

The small skeleton leaned over to the little red heart shaped soul with a lifeless and hopeless look. "Do you ever think he's going to come back human?"

He looked up at the proverbial ceiling of the antivoid and saw the vast amount of twisted thin blue strings sway like loose cobwebs in an attic. They were empty and devoid of any souls that usually were kept there by Error. He had been gone for so long that the souls that were there decayed and ceased existence.

Blue sat there looking for a while until he heard faint indistinguishable whispers. He couldn't make out what most of them said until he heard a few echo louder than the others.

'It's hopeless, why do you keep trying, what is the point in hoping for something that will never happen" these voices got louder with each passing day that blue stayed in the void. He did his best to ignore these voices, but sometimes they would win, and blue would curl up in a ball, faltering to his emotions of hopelessness to the thought of never returning to his home, to his Papyrus ever again. A strange ting started to manifest within his body from time to time, but he thought maybe this was just his mind trying to keep him safe from the insanity of isolation by letting his body feel any hint of sensory stimulation just to feel something other than the growing loneliness that slowly crept into him.

Days continued, the voices got louder, the tingles and strange sensations got stronger. He was determined to see himself through and not break and hope that Error came back. He had thoughts back to his past about when he tried to become part of the royal guard, how he helped monsters feel positive about their situations and gave them hope, how he was rejected from the royal guard but still tried to tell himself he could do it no matter what they thought.

But what if he was wrong this whole time?

days continued on, the hope of leaving this place wavered, until the day would come that it would be realized he would never leave this place…at least in the way that he came in.

One day, Blue finally snapped, "I can't do this anymore, human I just can't. I'm never getting out of this asgore forsaken place" Tears violently flowed from his eye sockets.

He violently paced back and forth in front of the soul as the reality of his situation finally set in. "This is all your fault, you stupid human!

He pointed an angry finger at the listless soul, "Had I not tried to rescue you from Error, maybe he would have never left me here to rot and we might…have actually been friends," his hunched shoulders froze and then released, realizing the venom in his words came out of left field he clasped his mouth and his eyes widened in regret.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry human, I didn't mean that….I promise" he held up the soul gingerly.

"It's just so hard being here all alone. There's nobody here to talk to, other than the voices Error heard and even they are not the best at conversations mweheheh….heh…" he shrugged his shoulders down again but he felt a sharp tinge in his eye, and some very blurry blackness in his vision. Just as quickly as it appeared, it disapeared.

"What? what was that?" he clasped at his eye socket.

He felt another tingle moments later, and saw the faint off pixelations on his leg that looked like the stuff he saw on Error.

Blue's eyes widened "What is going on? am I turning into Error?!" blue panicked.

"I can't let this happen!" he looked back and forth around the anti-void with a desperate gaze trying to hope that maybe some open door might magically appear or maybe, just maybe Error would appear to save him. The glitching was increasing, progressing from his feet, and then to his legs, he looked at the human soul with the contemplation of absorbing the soul.

"NO, I mustn't do it, I can't do it after everything I endured!" he stiffened up his stance trying to resist the temptation.

The voices that were once whispers became louder and louder, the called out "absorb the soul sans, absorb the soul"

He felt the glitching progress even more to his waist, some of the glitching was now starting to distort and invert his colors, he saw it in his hand that held the soul. He couldn't do it anymore. He had to absorb the soul!

and absorb it he did, and with the hope it would allow him to escape his fate, he closed his eyes tightly hoping for a miracle to happen…..but nothing.

Realizing the horror, Blue Screamed in terror "no! nononononono! IT SHOULD HAVE WORKED, WHY DIDN'T IT WORK!" He screamed out even harder as the glitching continued to progress it became painful. It was so crippling that it sent him falling to his knees. Curling up into a fetal position. Blue resigned to his fate,

"Papyrus, I'm so sorry. I wish I could have done better for you brother," his last cries rang out before the last bit of his normal color pallette glitched out of existence

Chapter 2: A Familiar Stranger

"Aaahh, free cookies, complete silence, and no interruptions," Error tossed his hands up and behind his head clasping them lightly.

"This has been the best vacation ever" He remarked inhaling a nice deep relaxing breath.

"I do suppose it's time I get back into the antivoid, I'm sure there is a good layer of dust starting to settle on my beanbag chair back home."

He took one good long stretch, hopped out of his hammock and opened a portal to the blinding whiteness of the antivoid which momentarily blinded him like switching on discord light mode due to his time in outertale. He let his vision adjust and stepped back into the antivoid with all his plushies and items in a small blue bag he knitted.

"Ah, home sweet antivoid," he took another inhale before using his strings to grab the bag and tie it up to the cieling of the blank space with his gaze following it. He dropped his gaze back down and noticed a figure he had not recognized.

A small black skeleton sporting a red bandana, black armor with yellow trimmed sweats, and purple and blue gradient arms sat quietly.

"so you finally decided to come back did you?" The skeleton remarked.

Error stepped back startled. Something seemed familiar about this character, but yet it was different. Uncanny even.

"What was it you said before you left me here alone to rot?" The skeleton slammed his hand down on the antivoid's floor. Error stood his ground unwavering.

"Oh yes, I remember," his voice snapped with a little tinge of spite, " 'let's play a new game, LEAVE THE BLUEBERRY IN THE ANTIVOID UNTIL HE BEGS FOR ME TO COME BACK!" his voice intensified into malice and his head snapped back to Error's direction. His cyan eye sockets lit up with an intense magenta and yellow stare from his eyelights. His cyan teeth revealing themselves in a nasty angry smile, stars adorning the sides of his eye sockets"

"WELL GUESS WHAT?! YOU NEVER CAME BACK!" He stood up with a stiffened stance and fists clenched. "After I cried and begged for so long until my voice gave out you STILL DIDN'T COME BACK!"

Error blinked his eyes for a moment, and then it clicked. This was the underswap sans he kidnapped so many years ago, but he was different. He was changed by the antivoid, accompanied by the same floating errors and glitching that he himself also suffered with.

"Oh my god..Blue, is that you?" Error inquired trying to bridge the gap between his memory and the confirmation or denial of this skeleton's identity (edited)

"oh so you finally remember who I am huh?!" Blue's voice sharply retorted.

"How super generous of you!" Blue stomped his foot and what followed was a deep rumble under the antivoid floor followed by a fisure that darted like a speedy snake towards Error. Error jumped to avoid the bone attack that erupted under the ground just in the nick of time.

"Do you know how long I was trapped in here?! do you have ANY idea what you took away from ME?!" Blue's voice boomed with a glitchy studder as his emotions began to run high. His thoughts racing with flashbacks of all his past experiences and his thoughts of what will never be again.

"YOU TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME!" he yelled out summoning two large long bones in front of his hands which he quickly brandished. He ran towards Error who now realized he couldn't think about processing the situation and had to take a defensive stance. "Most people would have given up and tried to eliminate you, but I felt sorry for you!" Blue swung at Error with one of the bones but Error blocked it with one of his own bone attacks.

"I wanted to believe you were only doing these things because you were alone and had nobody to share experiences with. I thought maybe if I just try to be friends with him he might stop causing so much suffering because he was suffering himself!"

Error's thoughts started to race. Something in that last comment brought back a very fuzzy memory. A memory of skeleton dressed in all white donning a red scarf who sat in the emptiness of a familiar place with a blood stained shirt and hoodie sitting alone in the void. His body language showing a saddening stance. Error shook his head trying to get himself focused but it was too late as blue landed a blow before his focus returned.

"But no!" Blue cupped his skull in his hands and clenched his fingers. " All I see is a greedy coward who makes everyone's lives miserable for his own gain. Who cares about the others right?!" Blue laughed hysterically as bright golden stars materialized from his star shaped markings on his face which he grasped in between his fingers.

"You hear me Error!" You are a greedy coward!" Blue yelled throwing the stars at him like shurikens. Error saw them coming and leaped out of the way.

Error now welling up with confusing memories and anger mustered up his own energy to stand up and take a more aggressive stance.

"SHUT UUUUUUUPPP" Error's voice rang out whipping his strings at Blue blocked the attack but the strings coiled around his bone weapons and ripped them out of his hands.

"You don't think you haven't crossed me little blueberry?!" Error grabbed the bones he stole from blue and struck them into the ground.

"I was starting to actually enjoy your company but you decided to double cross me and steal one of the souls in my collection thinking you would be the goody two shoes who would save an anomaly and become some hero of the Royal guard!"

"Well guess what blue, it wasn't going to happen!" Error summons his Gaster blaster and aims it for blue when it fired blue leaped away and went into shock with Error's words.

Blue's voice wavered, "Wh-what are you talking about?!"

"Oh silly little blueberry did you really think your precious captain Alphys was going to let you into the Royal Guard?" Error plucked a little string with his index finger from his eye socket and started stiffly twanging it. "Remember what I told you about how I analyze a universe's code before destroying it? Well your probability of being accepted in the Royal guard was even less than the probability of your universe existing."

"No! That's a lie!" Blue shook his head agressively as if trying to shake away the invasive thoughts and anxiety that plagued him post errorfication.

"Oh no, it certainly isn't." Error tensed the string on his finger and curled his phalange around it. "You know for as 'greedy as I'm supposed to be, I certainly am generous in letting you know this information, rather than you continuing to live a lie"

Error opened a strange glitchy screen revealing coding from his universe. In the line of code read the very truth of Errors words.

Blue dropped to his knees at the realization that lie before him. He was paralyzed and overwhelmed with negative emotions. He had no words, no thoughts, and an overwhelming sense of feeling useless and that everything he did was pointless. He began to glitch and his eyes filled with multiple error messages. Error took this opportunity to tie up blue and suspend him from the antivoid cieling.

"Well blue, welcome to the life of being an Error. Enjoy the reboot," he laughed in a way that was most forced and unnatural.

Error felt a wierd heavy sensation in his chest. Normally destroying most anomalies was the fun part of his job, but this time, it was different. It felt wrong, it felt horrible and it made him feel tight in the chest. He wasn't injured aside from the bruising he sustained getting slammed by blue, but the sensations didn't reflect those Injuries. He dropped himself down on his beanbag chair and ruminated about the conflict and about the emotions and memories he experienced.

jim hopper x fem!reader. mentions of masturbation, sex toy use, dirty talk, praise, light degradation, implied age gap, period typical sexual ignorance??? ig?, “kid” as a petname

a/n: i haven’t written in so long this is ass i’m sorry. apologies for the glitchy repeating paragraphs, tumblr won’t let me fix them.

word count: 1.1k

When you pass through the doorway of your bedroom to see Hopper crouching by your bedside dresser, the bottom drawer pulled open, you stop on your tracks. Your blood runs cold, all your heat rushing to your cheeks. He turns his body to look at you, and things only get worse when you spot the bright pink rod in his hand.

“The hell is this for?” He scowls at it in his hand, as if staring hard enough might make the answer pop out at him. You nervously play with your fingers.

“The hell is this for?” He scowls at it in his hand, as if staring hard enough might make the answer pop out at him. You nervously play with your fingers.

“The hell is this for?” He scowls at it in his hand, as if staring hard enough might make the answer pop out at him. You nervously play with your fingers.

“Y-you really don’t know?” Your face steadily warms up as he passes you a dumbfounded glance. His thumb finds the button situated at the vibrator’s hard plastic base, and you cringe when it starts buzzing in his hand. There’s a brief pause, the gears turning in Hopper’s head, but after a moment he looks up at you with a faint smirk on his face.

“Actually, I think I might have an idea.” His smug expression and the low timbre of his voice makes your stomach flip excitedly. You swallow.

“Actually, I think I might have an idea.” His smug expression and the low timbre of his voice makes your stomach flip excitedly. You swallow.

“I can’t believe you’ve never seen a vibrator before.” Hopper rises to his full height and stalks towards you, his footsteps resounding in his heavy boots. He shrugs.

“Call me old fashioned.”

You let out a puff of air through your nose in a half-assed show of amusement. Hopper holds out the toy- still buzzing away in his palm- and raises a brow at you.

“So this is what you do when I’m not around, huh? You lay all sprawled out and pretty in your bed and use this on yourself?” Your cunt throbs, and all you can do is nod, averting your gaze.

“I didn’t take you for such a dirty little thing.” He murmurs lowly. You worry your lower lip, and he reaches out to cup your chin, thumbing over the soft cushion and pulling it out from between your teeth. You blink up at him, eyes wide, and his heavy gaze keeps you distracted, leading you to gasp when he brings the vibrator down between your legs. The sensation is muted, muffled by two layers of clothing, but its enough to make your clit tingle.

Hopper smirks. “That feel good, sweetheart?”

You nod, not trusting yourself to speak. Hopper’s hand moves down from your chin, smoothing across your throat and moving around to grip the back of your neck. The hold grounds you. “Good.” He nods behind him, motioning to your bed. “C’mon, I wanna see what else this thing can do.”

You look at him in shock for a moment. You’re not sure why, but part of you is surprised that he’s so accepting of your toy- that he isn’t angry or wounded, that he doesn’t feel threatened. You’d always imagined that, should a partner find your vibrator, there would be some long winded conversation assuring them that they aren’t inadequate. You suppose that Jim just isn’t that insecure.

While you were lost in your thoughts Hopper had backed you up towards the bed. You scramble to take off your shorts and underwear before climbing back onto the mattress. Hopper doesn’t bother to disrobe at all, he just crawls right up so he’s above you, leaning down to envelope you in a heated kiss. Your legs fall open automatically, well versed in this position, allowing his body to slot in between them.

You’re so caught up in his lips against yours that when cool plastic presses once again against your now bare clit, you yelp into his mouth. The buzzing sensation is intense without the barriers of fabric, and you can’t help the pleasured moan that you let out.

“Fuck, sweetheart, you’re never so quick to moan like that with me.” Again, he doesn’t sound accusatory- a bit teasing, sure, but the grin on his face tells you that more than anything he’s happy to see you so feeling so good.

He experiments a bit- tries different levels of pressure, noting the way you exhale with the reprieve of light contact and the way your toes curl with the intensity of firm force. He tries drawing circles on your clit the way he would with his finger, and that’s what makes you cry out the loudest, the steady rhythm dragging your body up towards the crest of release.

“There it is,” his low murmur heightens your arousal. “Getting close for me already, hon?”

“Yes,” through your mounting pleasure you suddenly feel a surge of doubt, a surge of need for something you don’t have. “Hopper- please, I want-“

“Easy, kid,” he soothes, smoothing a big hand across your shoulder, holding you down to the mattress when you lift up to grab at him desperately. He’s smiling smugly, and a bit of arrogance seeps into his comforting tone as he reads your desire perfectly. “Just let go. I’ll fuck you afterwards, don’t you worry. You can have my cock as soon as you show me how pretty you look when you cum.”

That’s all it takes to sate you; the assurance that if you finish now you won’t be left empty for the night. With that you’re allowing your body to fall right over the edge, your orgasm coming on hard and fast and so strong that you can’t even hear the loud moan that escapes you.

Hopper keeps the vibrator pressed against you as you tremble through it. Gentle encouragement spills freely from his lips, keeping his presence known even as your eyes squeeze shut. “That’s a good girl, sweetheart. There you go. Bet that feels good, doesn’t it? Fuck, look at you. Prettiest little thing ever.”

He pulls the toy away the moment your hips twitch away and your whines turn from blissed out to pitiful. You’re left panting, clit still throbbing, gaze blurry as you open your eyes and look up at Hopper’s smirking face.

“You back with me now, hon?” He asks gruffly, turning off the vibrator and tossing it aside then bringing his big hands down to knead at your limp thighs. “Goddamn, that thing does a number on you.” You nod, letting out a content hum.

“Still want your cock, though.”

Hopper laughs, shaking his head at your insistence. “I know, kid. I know.”

!!MINORS DNI!!

It’s raining, and you’re stuck under an all too familiar glass awning, waiting for the bus as you always are every weekday. You might not dislike the rain, but being wet on your morning public commute makes it so much worse than it actually is.

You’re wearing a white blouse with your nice black skirt, you have your little black pumps on. Your white blouse now a little bit more than see through since you had forgotten your umbrella.

Great.

The bus has its normal problems but today is exceptionally bad.

A pervert sat next to you, and what looks like his friend is sat in front of you both.

A rough hand clasps your thigh, and another grabs your breast. You look out the window, hoping to dissociate.

This isn’t the first time it has happened and your stop isn’t too far. It doesn’t stop your heart from racing…

Or your panties from getting damp, and your stomach lurching at the fact that they do.

He squeezes and runs his hand up under your skirt, his other going to the buttons on your shirt. His body leans closer and closer to you, you can smell the rain on him mixing with his disgustingly strong musky scent.

DING~

“This is my stop.” As you stood, you slammed a heel down on his foot to distract him enough not to pull you into his lap(it’s been done before), and you rush out the door with your things.

Once inside your office building, you see your way too hot boss,

and oh fuck! he almost saw you.

You hide for a second behind a pillar, with a hand over your mouth.

“What’cha doin’ Y/N?” your co-worker, Issac, popped into veiw, smiling innocently.

He’s cute: curly light brown hair, big green eyes, he wears his glasses with those little chains. He’s so adorable, you just can’t be mad at him.

You sigh, “nothing,”

“Y/N?” you heard your bosses voice from around the pillar, before he comes into view.

Your face warms.

He hurriedly removes his blazer and handed it to you as soon as he sees you. At first you’re confused until you remember the wet and very see through top you have on.

Issac rolls his eyes at this, not even trying to be subtle.

“I’ll see you both in the 11:00 meeting” Says Heyes, as he rushes away.

You know your boss always tries to be extra nice to you, but all of your co workers either get jealous or make fun of you for it…

If he wasn’t such a hottie it’d probably bother you more.

At your desk, you sit, typing away at your work forms. Soon, you finish touching up your proposal for todays meeting, when your screen starts glitching out.

At first you think it’s just the monitor getting old, but you soon realize there’s something wrong with the actual computer.

A message in big glitchy letters covers your screen, “Error: 222”.

You call Issac over, since he usually knows more about tech than the I.T. people here. He rushes over to aid you as if his life depends on it. You try and stifle a giggle at his eagerness.

By the time you look back and Issac is close enough to see, the screen goes back to normal… “huh”

“What is it, Y/N?” he looks over at your computer, probably expecting that’s why you called him.

“Sorry… I guess it’s nothing, I had an error pop up, but it’s gone now.”

“Oh? did it say anything with it?” he asks.

“yeah, 222…” you stare back at the screen for any glitchy signs, but nothing happens.

“can you believe Y/N?” you hear whispers all around you. Probably about the bosses blazer that’s draped over your chair. You tune out their voices once again.

“huh… Never heard of that one.” he thumbs his chin, “oh well, i guess call me if it happens again!” he saunters away cheerfully. He really is adorable, he never seems to be bothered by anything. Even at work. You can’t help but smile after him.

You adjust in your chair to re focus on work.

Your work…

It’s all just, gone?

“What?” you say out loud.

“Oh nothing Y/N,” one of the ladies around your desk says.

“I wasn’t talking to you, my work is gone,” you say annoyed not only by your work but that they’re talking about you so close in proximity nowadays.

“I bet you didn’t even start.” She sneers.

“Yeah, if I was fucking Mr. Heyes I wouldn’t have to work either…” The other lady sneers.

“I bet if i was just standing around all day and talking about other people instead of working Mr. Heyes wouldn’t care about me at all either.” you retort.

Now back to the real issue here. What the fuck happened to all your reports? what happened to your proposal for today?! God you’re so tired you can hardly remember what it even said, and it’s your proposal!

Mr. Heyes walks by, waving to you and Issac as he leaves his office for the meeting room.

FUCK.

What are you supposed to do today? you have none of the info the boss needs! You are so screwed. And your proposal was such a good counter action for the fallen profits. UHG.

You make your way over to the meeting room with Issac after checking everything for your files one last time. They were seemingly wiped from your email, your docs app, your drive, your phone, everything. They just don’t exist anymore.

After handing Mr. Heyes his jacket back and thanking him(though his kindness always causes you more harm than good), you sit and slouch down at the oval table.

“Chin up, Ms. L/N, Im sure you’ll do fine today, as always.” boss smiles at you earnestly.

A little while later he’s calling on you for the info… And you have to tell him you lost it.

“No problem, Ms. L/N,” he smiles assuredly and pulls out his tablet, with his own work… Your stomach sinks.

“I also believe we had a promising proposal for today,” he motions over to you in front of the screen with the CEO on…

“I’m sorry sirs I-I lost that too…”

“My my, Heyes. We seemed to have just gotten lucky before when your employees had been prepared.” The CEO speaks neutrally, and you grate your teeth.

Boss looks at you before shaking his head slightly.

Yup. You now officially have a sinking pit swallowing your guts for the day. Thanks Error: 222, whatever the fuck you did.

On your way back to your desk Mr. Heyes stopped you, with his hand on your shoulder and runs it slowly down your arm. The action makes your skin crawl, yeah he’s hot, but he’s so weird and these lingering touches creep you out.

“Maybe you should take a break from this job for a while, Y/N.”

Your jaw dropped, “What?! I make one mistake, not even a mistake, some error deleted everything i worked on, and you practically tell me to quit?! I’ve done nothing but good for this company!!”

“Woah, calm down, Y/N, you don’t want to make a scene.”

“Well maybe give me the decency to fire me in your office then, rather than the hallway, Mr. Heyes.” You storm off to grab your things from your desk.

Once home you’re binge eating icecream, and watching shows. You seriously can’t believe what happened today. As a silver lining you won’t have to take the bus anymore.

Before long your Tv starts glitching too, “Oh come on!”

You see that familiar “Error: 222” pop up again, and how did it even get on your Tv?!

When it fades though, you see Mr. Heyes in a cement room looking rather frantic…

“What’s the fuck?” your voice trembles.

“Just watch” appears on screen.

The volume turns itself up enough to hear his screaming.

A man enters from under the cameras view, a steel pipe in his hands. He uses the noise the boss is making as a cover, sneaking up on him.

Next thing you know he’s on the ground, being whacked over and over again, his skull no more than a mushed, and jagged pile splattering red over the grey walls and soaking the floor.

This can’t be real… Can it?

You realize you’re shaking, when you reach for the remote. “Don’t” appears on screen next, your eyes widen in horror… They can see you, and they’ve killed your boss seemingly.

What do they want from you!?

The screen glitches again, switching to two men in a different, more dirty cement room. The two men from the bus today…

You admit you feel a prickle of excitement seeing them there, anticipating what will happen next.

🖤💔Yandere!Demon Slayers As Demons💔🖤

Dear readers for the first time in two weeks I offer you something that isn't a random post or a rant. This is an AU that I’ve been working on for a while, and seeing how this turns out I might continue it in terms of one shots and a mini series. Please enjoy!!

👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺

Demon Tanjiro is much more complex than his human counterpart. His mood fluctuates too much, alternating between a loving docile young demon desperate for his lover's warm embrace, to a rabid beast who's willing to tear your stomach open with his claws and feast on your entrails while you're still breathing. He's just too unpredictable, what makes him praise you and litter your body with toothy kisses, might just get your arm dislocated the next day. There's just no telling, he just isn't Tanjiro anymore, he's some wild, savage, murderous monster wearing Tanjiro's face.

He's always watching...

His mere gaze isn't enough to turn you into a motionless rag doll. Slumped in the corner like a forgotten toy. No, but his silence is. The way his eyes are locked on you as if your some sort of little bunny that waltzed into his territory, the way his mouth is sewn shut by some invisible thread, the way his head is tilted to the side like he was trying to calculate your next move...it's all too tranquil, too clam, just like the eye of a hurricane. 

Languidly Tanjiro begins to crouch down, his moves are rapid and glitchy as if he isn't in control of his own body. Somewhere you hear something cracking, it's a dreadful noise like hammers pounding at your skull. It's only when you lift your eyes to the Oni in front of you, do you realize the noise is coming from him. It's like he's deforming in some way, dying and regenerating all in a single breath...and yet he still looks so...so beautiful. 

Even while he's stalking towards you on hands and knees, you can't deny how stunning he looks. Mouth molded into a small smile, long rust-colored locks pooling on the ground around him and his eyes... they're red one second and brown the next, changing ever so quickly just like his moods. 

He's much more passive like this, you note as if you've made some sort of groundbreaking discovery. So docile and calm...almost like a storm before it strikes. No, Tanjiro is not a storm you remind your self. He's a lion stalking its prey, relishing in the taunting silence it radiates by its mere presence.

Tanjiro's eyes have lost all hope, all passion. They're nothing more than empty spheres resting in his sockets.

You vaguely remember -or at least you think you do- a time when every action coming from the rust haired boy was entangled in a blanket of passion, every move had a clear purpose, every word was laced with an unyielding fire that had been beaten into his spirit. But now....well you didn't know what he was now, what Mozen and his sadistic "creations" had turned him into. What had they stolen from him? Was it his soul, his hope, or maybe something far worst.

Your amazement only shatters when you notice just how close he's gotten. His icy cold breath tickling the side of your neck. You squirm, pressing your palms flat against his chest. Tangiro doesn't flinch, his head cocks back to the side, his broken stare, vaguely reminds you of a discarded doll. Maybe that's what he is, not a slayer or a demon, just some broken doll that keeps you locked up in his room so that he can get a sense of being needed.

A wave of empathy crashed over you. Wearily you dropped your arms to your side, in a flash Tangiro wraps his long gauntly arms around you, squashing your bones as he pulled you ever so closer to him, nuzzling his visage in the crock of your neck.

Tanjiro Kamado may have once been a remarkable demon slayer on his way to becoming the next water piller of the demon slayer corps...but now he was nothing more than a pitiful broken demon, seeking the feeling of humanity inside a breaking, mortified girl. 

👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

Zenitsu is a lot bolder, a lot pushier with his affection now that he's been turned into a demon. He wants you to love him the way he loves you, only this time he isn't afraid to break a leg or two, so you'll have no choice but to stay with him. 

His child-like tendencies are still there, albeit demented, yet ever-present. The tantrums and endless crying are as frequent as ever...except now, well now he breaks a bone for every tear YOU make him spill and leaves a scar for every time YOU couldn't satisfy him. Just remember that none of this is poor Zenitsu's fault, oh no, how could it be his fault? He's given you everything you could ever dream of! Even though you're nothing more than a pathetic useless human, Zenitsu still took you as his beloved wife! You should be grateful to him, dedicate your every living second to him, play the role of the loving, caring wife! Not some ungrateful brat, who is always trying to run away!

And yet, you've become oddly accustomed to it. No longer do you mind the screams and beatings. They've grown to be a part of you, a sick and twisted thing that resides within you, infecting your every thought. Much like how Zenitsu's become a heartsick, defective shell of his former self.  

"STOP IT"

something shattered against the wall, breaking into a million flying shards.  The noise echoed through the light less room. Weary, your eyes flashed from the broken remains of what may have been an antique vase, to the crying monster in front of you. The tips of his long curved horns were turning a stark blood red, an indication that his blood was starting to boil. Although you didn't need the mood indicating head tusks to know just how upset the blond crybaby had gotten, they were still a nice little warning to remind you of just how far you could push him. 

"Stop trying to escape!"

Had his voice amplified since your last "screaming contest"?

Did Muzen really think that Zenitsu's voice needed to get any louder, anymore irritating? 

"I wasn't" you deadpanned, your arms crossed in front of your chest. "How can I, did you forget what you did to my leg this morning?" the bones inside your left leg had been deformed, causing your entire leg to point sideways. It was a detestable sight, yet it seemed to fill your rotting heart with a sense akin to a school girl's crush. 

'Zenitsu-chan still loves me! See, see, he went out of his way to touch me!'

'No you idiot, he went out of his way to hurt you.'

Your mind had seemingly been slashed in half since your arrival at the former demon slayer's hideout. One tiny voice acted like a deranged lovesick little girl. Whist the other pertained some form of logic and common sense. This typically led to many interior arguments, all bordering on the exact same premise.

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

HE LOVES ME

HE'S HURTING ME

"Quit your whining!" the voice that escaped your lips, was flat and commanding, for a second it vaguely reminded you of Giyu Tomioka before the memory of your former lover shattered. Zenitsu's crying continued but his angry shouts slowly died down, his golden eyes shifted to stare directly at you. wearily you lifted your hands towards him, like an infant begging to be picked up. 

"I'm hungry Zenitsu! Take me into the kitchen, after all, it's your fault I'm like this!" 

Sure Zenitsu was much more powerful than you, sure he could snap your neck, ending your pitiful life at any moment. But his desperate need for approval -something else that had transcended from his human life to his current one- gave you the upper hand in this muddle of a relationship. 

As a demon Inosuke is more...feral, for lack of a better word. He is all so keen on seeing just how far he can push his darlings limits, both mentally or physically. 

He's always hovering around you, trailing his clawed fingers over patches of exposed skin. Smirking all so curly as you shiver and shrink back. His knife-like fangs seen to be permanently impaling your neck. Draining you of your life force. He's just so damn heartless!

 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️

Although he may be a ruthless monster, a creature of the night that fed on the innocent, there was no denying that Inosuke was resourceful, resourceful, and strong. He knew just where to hide you, so you would neither be found nor have a chance to escape. There was also the way he routinely cracked your fibula and tibia as a “preprecaution”. 

Your arm wasn't meant to bend that way, neither was your leg when you thought about it. Yet despite the odd angle there had yet to be any cracking or popping to indicate the limp had been, once again, broken. The only real evidence to suggest that the limps were in fact being abused was the white scorching pain coursing through them. A feeling that you had almost grown entirely familiar with.

Inosuke's green eyes shifted lazily between your scrunched up face and the twisting limps. One of his "normal" arms was occupied mangling your left arm, the other two appendages that sprouted from his back were pulling your leg upwards at the knee joint.  Inosuke's head leaned over his remaining arm, he looked bored, like your pain was so mundane that it couldn't even grant him a mere chuckle. 

"I like it better when you scream" his voice was laced with a demanding malice, something bitter and rotting. "It's boring when you try to act all strong and mighty". 

You weren't acting, acting required skills, and an audience who wanted to believe in the performer. No, your lack of response wasn't a show of strength or iron will, it was merely because your vocal cords had been shrieked raw, preventing them from making a single peep. 

Your tear-filled eyes shot up to stare into his depraved orbs. Had there ever been a time when his eyes didn't strike fear into those who peered into them? You highly doubted it, heck the idea of Inosuke ever being anything less than terrifying was a laughable thought. 

An eerie familiar noise filled the room, the cracking noise happened in three instances, like three swipes of a blade. First, it was your talus followed by your patella, and then to finish the spin chilling symphony was the crescendo of your breaking humerus for the hundredth time. 

Tears began to flow rapidly from your eyes, staining your thin layer of clothes. You could feel Inosuke's presence shifting about, leaning ever so closer to nuzzle into the side of your neck. His teeth grazing the already punctured skin. 

Inosuke use to be a demon slayer right? A passionate young man who wanted nothing more than to destroy the very same monsters that he himself became? What a laughable story, a fictional tale if ever you'd heard one!

This man was and would always be nothing more than a cruel demon!

STEOTW

Gotta write down my thoughts cause I can't help myself.

This whole album has got amazing choruses, so there's gonna be some repetitive thoughts so just be prepared for that.

Meltdown: BLEGH! GO! DOOMSLAYER AND ALIEN NOISES, I LOVE IT😭 Chorus is amazing. Good starter song, got me HYPE AS FUCK. On tonight's series finale, WE"RE ALL GONNA FUCKING DIE. Breakdown goes HARD

Sign Of Life: BARE YOUR SOUL. Yeah, I bared my soul alright. The sung "sign of life" lyric seriously sounds like a Breaking Benjamin song (which is an awesome thing!). Chris's voice is otherworldly.

Werewolf: BRUH, there is a reason this song is the band's favorite. Definitely worth the hype. So goth, very synth. The glitchy "werewolf"...chef's kiss. The high note in "head"...dude. And the REFERENCE TO SOMEBODY"S WATCHING ME BY ROCKWELL?!?!?!? I was SHOOK.AND THE FIUCKIN GUITAR SOLO????? JD PLZ, IT WAS TOO SEXY

Porcelain: Dudes...this song made me cry. I could hear the pain in Chris's voice. AND THE LYRICS, COME ON. Honestly, this might be my one of my top favorite of the album. It's so good and gives me so many feels. Sounds like it could be in a Tim Burton movie, like Edward Scissorhands, that's the vibe.

Slaughterhouse: Alright, yeah, we been knew that this song fucks. It's heavy, it's political, everything we could ever need in an angry metal song. Bryan was such a good choice for this song, his voice fits the lyrics so damn well. And the second breakdown after we thought the song might've been over??? Christ almighty, musical geniuses, I tell ya.

Masterpiece: The song that made me cry before Porcelain, especially seeing Chris cry in the MV. The song is literally a masterpiece. Kinda hit it on the nose there boys😂

Cause Of Death: Love the intro, the little xylophone type noises leading into the guitar. Awesome. This is another song that made me tear up, the lyrics are kinda painful lmao. Like a more restrained, softer, more emotional Puppets. Chris really be hitting those high notes this album, huh? And RICKY DUDE, I"M IN LOVE WITH HIS VOCALS. I was so happy to hear him in another song

We Become The Night: Oh man, this song is fuckin' wacky😂 It's so fun. The melody, my god. It's like a Nightmare Before Christmas song or something. Very Tim Burton esque. And it says the additional vocals are by Tom Hane, but it sounds like Justin to me lmao. Oh well, I can pretend

Burned At Both Ends II: Kinda wish it sounded more like the first song, but I'm happy with what I got. I definitely felt the little Infamous vibes there though. Again with the high notes Chris??? And the yells?? Jesus, seriously his vocals are the best they've ever been on this album

BFBTG: Corpse Nation: LOVE LOVE LOVE. I loved the first song on Disguise, but THIS? The creepy intro with the same radio announcer?? Just what I hoped. Again, the beginning sounds like Justin!!! To me at least, I really hope it is. This song is amazing regardless, absolutely love the creepy vibes. And the zombie noises...pleeeeease. Research this, motherfucker! BLEGH😂😂 Damnation now, fuck you.

Cyberhex: Perfect song to release as the first single. Just, yeah. Amazing. Hype as fuck. The Doom vibes really fit with the album theme and it really works in this song. And the opera vocals??? So fuckin' good. If you look up "perfection" in the dictionary this song pops up

Red, White, & Boom: CALEBBBBB, PRECIOUS BOYYYYY. Honestly, I thought he'd be in the song more kinda like how Bryan was. This song really screamed 'Murica, but like, in a mocking way. And like We Become The Night, this song is fuckin wacky dude😂 Chris borderline just talking in the verses, just amazing lmao. And then the smacking chorus to counterbalance. BUT, bringing back the lyrics from AMERICA??? Yas, that was amazing and I was so happy

Scoring The End Of The World: Some people were disappointed that the song didn't go hard cause Mick was featured, but like?? Who cares if the song was heavy or not, it's a fuckin amazing song. I could still hear Mick's influence without the CHONK. Again, Ricky's vocals...so good. I love when he sings. Amazing, just amazing. Everything's amazing.

All in all, the album was a work of perfection. 10 outta 10. No, fuck that. 100 out of 10. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to it on repeat until my ears bleed

Deltarune Chapter 2: Live Thoughts

So, since the new chapter of Deltarune came out, I've played it all the way through, so, here are my thoughts as I had them. Basically a live-blog, but, not live anymore, I wrote these in my notes app before.

NOTE: Obviously there are going to be ALL THE SPOILERS for Deltarune Chapter 2 in this, as well as Chapter 1. Reader discretion is advised.

Wow, okay, so I was wrong about it being immediately explained.

Various descriptions have changed, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the change to a new game, or the one to a new chapter.

I feel like Berdly is definitely a m’lady guy.

Okay, so, we’re not skipping class this time.

I really wish we could call Toriel and tell her we’re gonna be late again, but I couldn’t see an option for that. Maybe Kris told her on the ride to school.

Okay, so, Noelle is definitely adorable, and a huge lesbian.

Susie seems lovestruck too, kinda.

SHE HAD CHALK, AND SHE DIDN’T TELL ALPHYS BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE AND SUSIE COULD GO GET IT TOGETHER OH MY GOD

Okay, honestly wasn’t expecting the closet to work again.

Fricking LOVE the new transition.

Okay, so, Ralsei knows about, the real world? How, why, and what?

Oh, that, makes, a little sense? But also, if we hadn’t brought the toys over to the closet then, would they all be, dead?

AND WHAT IS RALSEI IN THIS CONTEXT?!?!

Okay, but I love the new town.

Holy shit, save points have storage, AND a spare list? Hell yeah.

So, we’re all level 2 now. I guess they moved from EXP based (or, execution point based?) to Milestone.

Love the basement for bad guys, with K. Round standing guard.

Bitch said “Child abusers live in Hamster Cage”.

Wait, he uses the hamster wheel?

I don’t know if I believe the king about his “bluff” or not. I think not, but, I don’t know.

I can see the “Susie moves to Ralsei’s castle to escape her abusive home” fic already.

RALSEI GAVE KRIS A TRASHCAN, AND SAID IT WAS FOR THE MANUAL IF HE GIVES US ANOTHER ONE OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY MY SWEET FLUFFY BOY

And of course, the moss call-back.

Oh god, Susie just said “My own room, huh.” and my heart is ready to shatter.

This girl has one actual food item in her fridge, and it’s just salsa

Oh, scratch that, there’s ice, crumbs, and jawbreakers in there too?

Oh, okay, Ralsei did give her actual food.

Entering Lancer’s room gives the cartoon Splat sound effect from Chapter 1, and his bedroom is identical to Chapter 1.

Perfect.

And the sound effect, plays in reverse when leaving? Okay.

So, explore until we’re ready to leave, huh? Seems, suspicious.

Oh my god, I just realized, the LightCandy is literally the chalk Noelle gave Susie. What the fuck.

So, for giving the Top back his cake, we get regenerating SpinCake that heals everyone for 140. Nice.

Battle challenges, huh? This should be interesting.

So, we can get a ClubsSandwich, $100, or…Jigsaw Joe’s entire life savings. Okay.

Aw, Clover has separate heads in their dialogue box!

Just realized this “dojo” also has their bed. Odd.

Alright, let’s take these challenges!

Oh, so if we act with Kris, than spare with Ralsei or Susie…got it!

He has a mercy meter. There’s a mercy meter now. I love this.

Oh, of course his life savings is exactly one dollar.

I can already tell the Graze challenges are gonna be the biggest bitches.

Okay, so, being able to rematch bosses, with different gimmicks and attacks, but based on the same logic? Always amazing.

I love the little cut-ins from the other characters with certain lines, like Susie and Lancer revealing “for a price” means zero dollars.

“Cookie and Wife”?

The Blacksmith runs a bakery where he can fuse items…okay.

Imma get a Silver Card.

What the fuck, Mr. Society?

Okay, so, we’re “leaving” through the way we came in, so “surely” we’re going back “home” to the “real world” and our “family”. Sure.

LANCER was added to your key items.

Oh was he now?

And so was Rouxls, “even though no one wanted that.”

Oh, we, actually went back to the light world. Huh. Actually wasn’t expecting that.

Jack of Spades, and the Rules Card. Makes sense.

Still LV 1 here, thankfully. No murder yet.

Okay, thankfully I can call Toriel now.

…Undyne, what the fuck?

Also? This, car horn music, I guess? Is, um…interesting.

Oh, the, computer lab. Where Toby was in Chapter 1. Okay. Makes sense.

“Guess this means we can’t start our project.” I’d say the biggest obstacle is more that we have no clue what the hell this project is supposed to be.

Hmm, we could use the computer at my house, or we could have a fun Toby Fox adventure…

My house!

I knew Susie wouldn’t allow it, also, you always wanna jump in big pits? That’s, worrying.

Computer lab time!

So, computer themed, maybe?

Rouxls jumped out, apparently. According to Lancer.

Okay, this build up is creepy, where’s the fluffy boy?!

Who is SHE?!

Was

Was that Noelle’s chatter sound?

Asking for help?

OH MY GOD

ITS THE REINDEER LESBIAN

SHES BEEN TAKEN

NOOOO

And, I suppose, this must be, our queen.

Q5U4EX7YY2E9N. Sure. I’ll stick with Queen, yeah.

Oh, she’s a computer! That…that’s probably not, great?

Oh, those plugs are bad, brainwashers. Okay.

Okay, they’re both tired…but Ralsei isn’t here. Fuck.

Aiming at moving targets is hard.

2 Werewires spared, only 4 to go, I guess!

RALSEI IS BACK, YAY!

Fun Gang, back together, working to save Susie’s soon-to-be-girlfriend!

Rhythm game to start a new bumping song. Nice.

Might live blog less from here, since, you know, the game is starting proper.

God, I love Deltarune’s look and sound, it’s so clean? And expressive, and AAAGH, I just love it!

I love angry Ralsei.

First lose control laughing moment: Kris and Susie squishing Ralsei like a toothpaste tube, to play an arcade game.

Did, did I just play Punch-Out inside an Undertale?

Curing computer viruses with Syringes…sure.

Sweet is the rhythm guy! Nice to meet you, Sweet! You and Toby are great at this music thing.

Hey, Susie can act now! Awesome!

Ralsei too, because of bullying! Yay!

Now the whole gang’s dancing!

(This is where I took my first real break, to process stuff and relax, and also to sleep)

In between thought: it’s kinda interesting that, in Chapter 1, Susie basically had to be forced to care about Kris, Ralsei, and Susie, but as soon as Noelle is in the slightest bit of danger, she’s immediately like, “We have to save her or die trying”, huh?

“Reverse diss-tracks, where the vocalist puts themselves down and praises Queen…or noise music.” That’s some, interesting taste in music.

“All our songs are only 4 seconds long!” Damn, so you’re, like, Vine musicians?

So, the Knight is opening alternate fountains, that create dark worlds out of, more mundane places? Interesting…

So, someone new is leading the rebels. This, can’t go well.

Smorgasbord 2.

Oooh, a TP raising Item! Nice!

Oh, the guy who was already working for Queen is a Werewire now. Okay.

66 up arrows. Hmmm, I wonder if I can retry at some point…

Oh boy. Here’s the queens…wait what?

Oh my god.

Go kart time.

Noelle, you traitor! How could you!

Oh, okay. Berdly I believe more.

Also, “beloved”.

I love how Queen apparently didn’t even ask him.

“Light Nerds” Good one, Queen.

That’s one weird Check for Berdly.

Berdly, for God’s sakes, Noelle is a lesbian, you idiot.

You know, given this villain rant, I think I hate Berdly more than I do King. And I’ve dealt with both bullies AND abusive dads.

Oh god, Roller Coaster Tycoon murder (also Berdly is dead)

Garbage! Saved by it again.

Oh, this place looks glitchy.

Also, Susie, you’re not the king of the trash pile. You’re QUEEN of the trash pile.

Oh god, please don’t tell me she’s dying.

Okay, good, she just needed fluffy boy hug.

Fork in the path, advantageous to split up, huh? But there’s three of us, and, two paths probably.

Okay, I can either go with the Fluffy boy who might secretly be evil, or the mean girl who might get lesbian scenes…hmmm…

I’m flipping a coin.

Okay, Ralsei it is!

Oh, Susie is upset at me getting to pick.

Oh, they’re going together.

Oh, this can’t be good.

If I had a nickel for every indie game with a cat themed metropolis on my pc, I’d have two nickels. You can finish the meme.

I swear I just saw Noelle on the right. Something big in the streets, hmmmm…

Okay, definitely saw Noelle that time. Shame the Poppups, popped up.

…I get it, Toby, but I’m still mad.

Blocked 10 ads…okay, I still love this game.

God, I’m already missing my party members.

Okay, so I still have Lancer, but, I’m really hoping Noelle listens to reason, because Lancer is, not.

Oh god no, don’t fight me now Queen. And please don’t join me.

Alright, nobody likes Berdly. Figured.

God they’re so dumb.

“G-got any room for another truce?” Noelle, I would do a No Mercy run for you, of course I’m going to help you.

I can’t believe “No Triple Trucies” is even an option.

Yay! Noelle in party!

“LV1 Snowcaster. Might be able to use some cool moves.” She’s got Heal Prayer, a more powerful (but more expensive) Pacify, and a damaging Ice move for only 16% TP.

I love her.

I don’t know what a sugarplum is myself, actually.

Noelle, you have a one track mind, and I like it.

Lancer, she’s not a cream, and we’re not making her a bad guy.

Oh, and she’s scared of mice, I love it!

Ah, she’s never been in battle before, let’s see how this goes.

See? That wasn’t so bad, Noelle.

Oh, she’s a natural!

“Needles aren’t scary…” Tell that to anyone under 20, Noelle.

Also, “subtle” pro-Vax message?

Oh my god, I just love her animations.

So, the virus and the syringe are fighting…hm…

Okay, so, first, Noelle’s defend animation, also perfect.

Second, so Ambyu-lance’s bullets block and destroy Virovirokun’s…hmm…

Have I mentioned how much I love Noelle? This funky little Christmas Lesbian can do no wrong.

Oh my god, she can’t even confidently say we’re friends, and hearing Kris say it makes her happy, I love her so much.

Okay, so, Queen drinks Battery Acid. Makes sense for a computer.

Kris is so done with this shit, I can tell.

I am both scared of and loving Queen.

Oh Jesus Christ Berdly what the fuck is that.

That is not greatness that is…I don’t know. I’m pretty sure even tumblr isn’t horny for you, Berdly.

Christ, he’s gonna break Queen by being an idiot and then he’ll be the Chapter boss.

Her eyes say lying. Of course.

“I Did Not Know You Had… Nipples” that’s, a good point.

…Berdly, you disturb me.

Second lost control laughing moment: Noelle’s cardboard robot face, and Queen just saying “Wow Cool Face”

Lancer, what is the “illusory nipple technique”?

Oh, of course the music bots built the statue. Berdly would never do manual labor.

Oh, and, they built the next “big” thing…hmmmm…

Why are we, flavors of tea???

Okay, that should be all the werewires for now.

The, clothing store, sold me, a useless mannequin, for $300. Of course.

I am going to touch the cheese.

Maus!

Cheese maze, purposely ruined to spare more Mices.

Hmm, Berdly talks about Noelle’s crush. $20 says he actually thinks it’s him, or maybe Kris at a stretch.

Noelle is now immune to mice! Yay!

Oh, CD Bagel, Seedy Bagel, just got that.

Okay, sacrifice pacifist run to kill Berdly…I’m tempted.

Uh, Berdly, Noelle just one shot both your allies. I’m not alone, you are.

Jokes on you, buddy, I’ve been dodging A+ for years!

“(He hit me in the face with a tornado…)” Yes, Noelle, and I have papercuts on my eyelids. He do be an asshole.

Oh good, they both made Battery Acid Pies. Now we’re in a car together. Perfect. This is exactly how I wanted things to go.

Potassium

Who is this trash man?

Spamton, huh. Oh boy.

Oh god, this song has lyrics.

Oh joy, a mini boss on my own. Just what I wanted.

Oh, new game over screen! Nice.

Anyways, I hate this guy.

Okay, just one more deal, I think. I wonder what’s next.

I’m not giving you my credit card info, dude.

Oh damnit, 1% more.

Okay, I’m very scared now.

Oh, I lost $51. That’s, fair.

Okay, back in the car.

Oh my god, Queen loves Noelle too. Perfect.

Lancer took the mixtape! Nice!

Oh, he ate it…nice!

DECEMB…

Oh god she’s a little kid.

December.

I’m so sorry, Noelle. I really hope you’re going to be okay. We’ll figure out what to do.

Queen, why does everything you have explode?

Now the prize is on my head.

Susie and Ralsei! You’re back!

She can slightly heal me now…cool!

And she taught him Sarcasm. I love them all so much.

Uh, Susie! You can have it!

Okay, so, now Susie is both gay for Noelle, and suspicious of her. Amazing.

And Noelle is turned on by the threat of being killed. Have I mentioned I love these dorks?

The gang’s all here!

Uh, just got past fireworks, and, where’s Noelle?

Oh, okay. She was just watching Fireworks.

Oooo, catching mice minigame!

Oooo, more elaborate but simpler to control mice minigame!

Oooo, bucket hole!

Also, nice gay Noelle moment noted.

Oh no, please don’t take the perfect girl away from us!

Okay, so, I don’t like Berdly, but, Acid river? Bit much…

Oh, okay. He was never in danger. I hate both of you. GIVE US BACK NOELLE

GOD DAMNIT NOT THE CAGE AGAIN.

Oh, great, now we’re captured too. Except possibly Ralsei.

She only plays mobile games. Burn her.

For once Berdly is correct.

Queen, you are dumb.

Is that the super Mario world fade?

I don’t, next question.

No looking at my Search history!

Oh, hey, we can chat in here.

LANCER TIME!

YES I MISSED YOU YOU DOPE

Lancer, never say Pants hole again, and never say you were inside it either.

Lancer, do you still not know our name?!

So this is how they lampshade the tutorial-Toriel thing, huh?

Oh no, Lancer, please don’t die in here.

Um, are there rooms for all the kids at school?

Asriel…

Puzzle time!

Plot twist: Susie is not Susan.

Berdly is dumb.

Admittedly, I did brute force that second one a bit…

Okay, now Susie has outsmarted both me AND Berdly. This is sad.

Oh god, he’s gonna cry now.

Oh, my god, that’s what December meant. That’s why Berdly cares about Noelle. That’s why…oh god.

Oh wow, Susie’s a gamer. This is incredible Lore.

Oh wow, first Lancer’s face returns, now Berdly is Anime. I love this game.

Oh my god, Ralsei in a tux. I love him.

Alright, so, Lancer needs to go back to Castle Town, and we need to get the heck to Noelle. I hope Berdly’s plan actually works…

Aw, I wanted him to stay tuxedo…

Color Cafe, huh?

Oh god, Rouxls came here. I am terrified.

I love this hype manor song!

Toby Fox, why is there so much 3D Shenanigans in this 2D Top Down RPG???

Note: from here, I end up going to the secret of this chapter. Do not read if you don’t want to be spoiled on that plotline. Skip to where I say Pancake Batter.

Okay, I’m going back, and I’m gonna find this third blue check mark.

Okay, found it, now to get back to the guy…

Yay, fireworks, again!

East treasure’s hallway leading to Basement on 1F…

Oh dear.

So there’s a secret here after all…where is…

Found it!

Okay, how to open this lock, now…hm.

Well, one thing was in the field, so, maybe in the city?

Oh Jesus it’s Spamton.

$28, not a penny more.

KeyGen, huh…

If this is as hard as Jevil, I’m gonna be pissed.

Oh, great, just Kris going in. Again. Fantastic.

Oh what the fuck.

Oh Jesus Christ I hate this build up.

Oh, and I died on the elevator. That’s fun.

Okay, so I hate this elevator. A lot.

Okay! Took like six tries, but I made it past the elevator! Now, let’s see what’s waiting for me…

EmptyDisk…hmmmmmmmm…

Maybe take that back to Scamton or whoever?

…Ralsei, Susie, what are you two doing?

Okay, trash man, you better like this.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Okay, this is not what I expected to follow Jevil’s lead. But, let’s see what happens when I turn this disk in.

Oh, nothing happened. Sure it did. Just gonna walk away then…

Oh, wouldn’t you know it, something happened!

Okay, so big puppet robot man. This is terrifying.

THANK YOU SUSIE!

Roller coaster boss! Again! Oh good!

YELLOW SOUL!

Can’t write notes, gotta kill.

Spamton, oh my god. And it’s Neo’s outfit. How the fuck did I not realize before?

Im terrified, let’s GOOOOOO!

Holy shit is that the Undertale Game Over message??????

Many tries later

Okay, I think it’s actually Ralsei and Susie talking…

Quitting the game so they can get their healing items out of storage and buy some good ones extra later

Okay, third turn, and I’ve only been hit once! Granted, it did almost 50 damage to Susie, but, still, doing better this time!

Even more death later

Did he just, attack himself?

Is he surrendering?

I…I did it! I did it in one sitting! Minus quitting so I could grab healing items that did more than 40 HP!

Oh, he killed him by freeing him…….okay.

Dealmaker, huh? Let’s see what this bad boy is…

+4 defense, +5 magic (even on Kris?), and $+30%…”and…?”

Okay, Ralsei, you get that, Susie get’s Jevilstail, and I get many questions.

Alright, now back to the actual plot!

Oh…Kris has goosebumps, and Susie’s asking if they’re okay…no. I’m saying no.

I love these two so much. Now let’s save the adorable lesbian.

Pancake Batter. Alright, we’re good.

Sorry, Noelle, got distracted.

Mouse wheel!

Tasque manager helped!

Man, this room is big and empty, with an odd exit door and screens on the north wall. Hmmmm…

Toby!

Thank you annoying dog!

Okay, I still love this music. Just wanted to say that. Anyways, PROGRESS!

We’re tea covered now. Except Susie. She’s tea filled.

Oh god, I don’t trust Berdly with Susie.

God, Knight teased.

Duck ride with Fluffy Boy.

Okay, so, puzzle time, methonk.

High Five!

More duck ride!

Ralsei, do you wanna do the kissy?

Oh boy.

Oh jeez.

Oh damn.

Rouxls.

Ralsei, you read my mind.

Oh Jesus it’s the tank from the first game.

Okay, so, we, take houses? Okay.

I can’t believe some people thought this dork was Gaster.

Wow, I beat him in like 3 and a half turns because I blocked him in.

Another God Dammit because SOMEONE didn’t pay attention to what happened to Lancer.

His head is still blue…

Hey, Camera! Peace signs and hugs!

Mostly hugs.

Yay, more Susie and Noelle time!

Oh my god, my heart is breaking.

Okay, I love these adorable girls.

Oh boy, this is, weird.

“Point and hearts come out” or “Eat moss”. The choice of a generation.

Fair point, Susie.

She likes scary things, huh.

Kinky

Have I mentioned how much I love these two? Because I do.

Susie and Noelle are best girls ever, no objections.

Oh good, Berdly, don’t ruin this completely, okay?

I fucking knew it.

Noelle, you’re going to kill him, and that’s okay with me.

Susie, stop squishing him like toothpaste!

Oh boy, I get big “final boss” energy right now…

Werewerewire?!

Okay, so I just stole from Noelle’s room.

Okay, boss time.

Shit, I should’ve healed up.

Okay, so, I died, but, I can fix that!

So, this boss is calling back to how the town’s internet has gone out, a fact I didn’t even learn until watching other content last night when I should have been sleeping, because I forgot to talk to Alphys during the brief chance I had.

Also, now both she and Ralsei have made reference to the real world outside…hmmmm…

So I guess the plot is about Google search being evil…yeah that checks out.

Bitch, did you just funny runny way?

Hmm, I’d say 50/50 odds of him being a drama Queen vs. him trying to trick Susie into caring about him.

Yep, he’s trying to score a kiss. Berdly…get a job.

Alright, let’s save Noelle, and possibly the whole town.

The “Roaring” Knight?

Oh god, the determination…who is this Knight, what is going on, and how involved are we?

Wait wait wait wait wait wait WAIT

When she described the Knight making more darkness, she said they took their blade, and showed an image of a knife. Was…was this…

HOLY SHIT IS KRIS’S NIGHT SELF THE KNIGHT?!?!

Oh. It was a giant robot. Not a statue.

Susie’s dancing!

Oh yeah, he can fly.

Resistance! Yay!

Okay, so, we sentai up in this bitch.

I wonder how the hell this story would go if we didn’t go pacifist then? Because in Chapter 1, all that really changed was how the boss was defeated in the cutscene, and like a couple details later. This is, a lot more than that.

Okay, so, three rounds of HP, punch out for her turns, just keep attacking. Got it.

Two rounds down, one to go!

Yes, eat your own Baseball, bitch!

Oh, suicide attack. Well it was just a robot.

Oh. She still has us.

Oh fuck the robot is Noelle’s mom. Fuck.

Okay, so, Queen is dead.

Oh fuck, don’t take over the world with darkness all of you, please.

The Roaring?

Oh fuck, new legend lore.

Titans, Fountains, enveloping the land in devastation. Oh jeez.

Lost eternally in an endless night…that’s not paradise. That’s hell.

QUEEN IS ALIVE?!?! AND DIDN’T KNOW ANY OF THAT?!?!

Thank you, Susie!

Okay, that’s a good ending for a second chapter, it’s dark fountain time!

Susie, please don’t turn evil.

…

And, we’re in the computer lab!

Wait, Ms. Boom? Does, does Gerson have a daughter, or wife?

Lost control laughing #3: this

I love this game so much. Time to explore town again.

Okay, Alphys does crush on Undyne still, at least.

Oops, I just let all the prisoner dogs out.

Awww, Undyne likes Alphys too!

Napstablook, I love you.

Oh shit, Asgore used to be a pig?

Oh god, this Rudy storyline is gonna be depressing all the way through, huh?

Susie, can we steal the tower of the gods?

Hey, we can actually go back to Ralsei’s dark world?!

Okay, this is gonna be interesting.

Oh thank god, we can save in the epilogue now, cool.

Oh cool, King and Queen together.

Oh my god he calls her Queenie Beanie. I love this.

So, a card and a computer fucked to make Lancer, who is a card. Okay.

Okay, so Lancer DOES know Kris’s name! Just not Ralsei’s!

New battle challenges! Yes!

Might save “Ch. 2 All-stars” for another time, though…

Perfection is the mannequin reaction.

Oh my god there’s a dedicated room for listening to music I love this

Alright, time to skedaddle back to the real world.

Okay, so Alvin is Gerson’s son, and he’s depressed. Fun.

Oh, MK and Snowy are by the creepy bunker. That’s…fun.

Okay, so, Susie scared them off after they insulted Kris, because Kris said something about the bunker…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

Hey, Nice Cream Guy is one of the Ice-E’s employees! Nice!

Ah, PizzaPants. Never change.

Oh hey, it’s the little guy, who’s clone is a Gaster follower. And the bird guy’s still in the library, and the donut guy is still in his car…

Hey, Catty and Bratty are becoming friends again! Cool!

Omg, Sans’s store is open. Do I…go in?

Hell yes I do!

Okay, so, Grillby’s music still, but, different interior. Interesting…

Sans, a day and 2 years in this game are not equivalent. It’s a day and 3 years.

The trousle grows further away.

Oh jeez Susie’s been drinking the milk. Oh god.

Cool, Susie’s seeing Onion too!

Oh, never mind.

A song is coming from deep under the water…either Shyren is involved, or this is gonna take a turn.

See you, Su-

Oh! Hey mom! Meet Susie!

Pie for all!

Oh my god, Susie, my heart is breaking.

Okay, so Alphys and Toriel know about the chalk. That, kinda makes Susie thinking she’d get expelled for it, really depressing.

Okay, so, Toriel and Susie are gonna make Pie together, that’s cool. Still, pretty worried about, Kris.

Uh, I just ran the sink, and, uh…

WHAT THE FUCK

OKAY SO MY SOUL IS UNDER THE SINK, KRIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHY IS IT BLACK OUT THE WINDOW WHERE ARE YOU GOING

WHAT THE FUCK

…so we get a cute scene with Susie and Toriel, then Susie asks where Kris is and…they do this sometimes?

I’m very concerned.

Okay, Toriel is concerned too, enough to say “hell”. Even Susie is shocked.

Okay, so, they’re coming back, uh, okay, this isn’t good, right?

Stopped the faucet, opened the drawer, and…we’re back?!

Kris what the fuck are you doing

And why couldn’t we find Asgore in the town?

Okay, so, we’re all sleeping in the living room. I, guess tomorrow’s the weekend, probably? I don’t know?

Susie, doesn’t have caring parents, I guess?

Oh god, Susie wants them to come to our world, but, Lancer is a playing card, he can’t…I don’t know. I’ll say it’s “far-fetched”.

There’s a festival, apparently. This seems…suspicious.

I’d take Ralsei, so you could take Noelle.

She’s asleep.

That, might not be good, in this context.

Okay, so, we’re asleep too, I think?

Oh god, Toriel’s tires are slashed, that can not be good, in any way.

Okay, night time, Toriel and Susie are asleep…now what are you doing, Kris?

That, knife…

Okay, so, yep, they’re the Knight, and they just opened Darkness in their living room. This is, not, good. And, the tv’s on, and the door’s unlocked…

What the fuck is happening?

Ending credits song sounds, techno? Is this more of Don’t Forget? Or a remix? I hear the lyrics at least.

“To be continued in Chapter 3” OH IT BETTER BE, TOBY

So, yeah, that's Deltarune Chapter 2. In conclusion: this explains nothing, raises 120% more questions, and overall is still an incredible, wonderful game. I also like how each Chapter so far has been almost as long as a full play through of Undertale, and yet we're still somehow only 2 sevenths of the way through. Oh yeah, did I not mention? After completing it, it brought me to a chapter select with SEVEN DIFFERENT CHAPTERS, only two of which were available. So, you know. THAT'S FUN!

In actual conclusion, please play this game, it's free, it's amazing, and also buy the soundtrack on Bandcamp so Toby can make some kinda living.

[for-when-i-have-an-idea]

Blue Lions as Virtual Assistants

This is what happens when I find a server full of people as silly as I am and are willing to contribute to that silliness

Dimitri

Constantly reminds you to take breaks when you’re doing work for long periods of time and to take care of yourself, make sure you’re doing okay and get up and stretch a bit every so often. Always encourages you to do your best.

“Are you sure you don’t need anything? Please remember to eat properly and get the right amount of sleep, it’s good for your health. Oh! It’s not a problem at all. Of course I can help you with that, it would be my pleasure.”

Dedue

Always running quietly in the background, doing tasks he deems necessary for your productivity, gently guiding you to do all the things that need to get done. You’ll be done with work before you even realise it with how helpful he is.

“Pick this and do that, here’s why. Alright, I’m going to explain. Okay, we’ve finished. How was it?”

Felix

Mainly leaves you to your own devices, but always steps in right before things are about to go wrong. Not the nicest, but good at reminding you to step away and do a bit of exercise now and again.

“Stop watching YouTube and do your work already. Have you done your stretches yet? No? Get up and do them now. I’m not going to save you when you finally realise how dumb you’ve been for procrastinating.”

Ashe

Very eager to help, but can get a bit distracted. Can and will pull up pictures of cute animals he finds to encourage you, but will always enthusiastically remind you that the work needs to be done and that you’re doing great!

“Look at this picture of a cat! Isn’t it cute? O-Oh, right! Yeah, we should get started now. If anything seems difficult, ask me and I’ll help straight away! Let’s boost your motivation with another picture!”

Sylvain

Very good at distracting both you and himself. Ends up leading you down all sorts of rabbit holes, but right when things are about to go wrong he pulls everything together so you don’t mess it all up.

“Check this out! It’s really cool, you won’t regret it! Hey, that lady in the ad is pretty hot... oh! Oh yeah, sorry for rambling. Wait, it’s about time we get started! Need some help?”

Mercedes

Takes the whole “don’t overdo it” thing very seriously, has a built in 20 minute timer to make sure you take those important 5 minute breaks when working for long periods of time. Always makes sure to ask if you’re comfortable.

“Hey, let’s begin our work, okay? Try not to get distracted or we’ll end up sitting here the whole day! That wouldn’t be much fun, would it? Tell me if you need help or if anything’s confusing, alright? I’m here for you!”

Annette

Pops up quite often, asking if you need help, you’re sure you don’t need help, she’s right here if you need help, just say the word! Has the unfortunate habit of singing to herself at inopportune times. She’s always very sorry.

“Today’s dinner is a steak and a cake that’s yummy yum~” Oh shit, you wrote that down on your test! That’s not how you solve equations! “Ah, no! I’m so sorry, I’ll shut up now!”

Ingrid

Ultimate taskmaster. Everything is neatly ordered and she knows exactly what needs to happen next. Always willing to help you find answers to any questions you might have. Encourages the best work ethic.

“Here, let’s focus on this first. Don’t eat before you begin working or you’ll be distracted. If you need help just tell me, okay? Now that the hard part is out of the way, let’s begin working on this...”

Gilbert

The Gilbert Extension doesn’t actually do anything unless you also have the Dimitri Extension, at which point the former will help the latter with helping you. Might also sometimes help the Ashe Extension a bit, but mainly Dimitri.

BONUS: Byleth

11/10 extension, best one to have. Runs quietly in the background and guides you to do the right things. You learn a lot with this one. Always willing to help with a bibliography or how to reference properly, and corrects all spelling and grammatical errors in red so you can see what went wrong; you will never need an external proofreader again.

They also make all of the other extensions you might have really happy. Makes sure all the others receive their updates on time, especially after that one incident where the Dimitri Extension received a horrible, glitchy mess. Byleth kept an extra eye out for the patch to fix that problem. All in all, just a good extension to have.

[📰] K-Pop Group P1Harmony Is Crossing Boundaries Into The R&B World

By Shirley Ju

As P1Harmony continues their voyage into musical success, they one day aspire to achieve legendary status.

Despite debuting in the midst of a pandemic, P1Harmony is already making strides within the industry and continues to feed their fans with nothing short of bangers.

FNC Entertainment formed the group in 2019 and began teasing their debut in February 2020. With the release of their first EP Disharmony: Stand Out and a movie, P1Harmony has catapulted into the spotlight.

Best known for their performance prowess and ability to dominate a stage, these rookies have been focused on creating a new R&B sound. The group released their highly anticipated second EP Disharmony: Break Out now.

Their title track “Scared” has all the right vibes standing strong as an anthemic banger that blends their soulful singing and hardline rap verses over a glitchy soundscape of punchy beats, lush R&B harmonies, and trippy melody lines.

AllHipHop: As for each member, who is the first R&B artist you looked up to?*

KEEHO: Neyo, Mariah Carey, Solange, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Brandy, Jazmine Sullivan, Ledisi

INTAK: Justin Bieber

JONGSEOB: Kanye West

AllHipHop: For each member, which R&B and hip-hop artists most heavily influenced this EP, and your life?

KEEHO: I get a lot of my inspiration from SZA, Frank Ocean, and Daniel Caesar. I’ve been really into the way they write and create music.

JIUNG: Post Malone, Justin Bieber, & 24kGoldn.

INTAK: A$AP Rocky, EK.

JONGSEOB: J.Cole, Joey Bada$$.

AllHipHop: What sets your guy’s music apart from the rest

KEEHO: I don’t think there’s a specific difference, but we try to add songs that were written or composed by all six members into our albums. There’s a song called “That’s It” from our first debut EP, which was co-written and composed by all of us, and from this new album, we have a song called “If You Call Me,” which was also co-written and composed by all the members as well. I think through this process, we are able to deliver and express the kind of message we want more clearly.

THEO: I personally think what sets us apart is that we have and know the precise message we want to deliver through our music.

JIUNG: I think the way we keep reinterpreting or finding new ways to deliver our message (which has been consistent since the very beginning) is our key appeal.

INTAK: I think what makes us a bit more different is that we are striving to harmonize the world.

SOUL: I think it’s our harmonious, vocal tones and choreography! I think we have a distinct dance style.

JONGSEOB: I think we all have a different way of expressing our thoughts and opinions even if the message or the subject we want to relay is the same. I also think our personal characteristics are strong and different and we also like and listen to different genres of music and that’s what makes us unique.

AllHipHop: Why did you choose the title ‘Disharmony: Break Out’?

KEEHO: It’s a continuation from our first album, which was titled DISHARMONY: STAND OUT. Our message is still based on the idea of ‘disharmony,’ but this time, we wanted to share our message, which is to ‘break out’ from the things that hold us back, our fears, and injustices and be confident enough to create a life that we want, while achieving our goals and dreams.

JIUNG: I think ‘break out’ is the best description of our album’s main theme, which is to ‘break out’ of all the things that you’re tied down to, from people’s judgments, and our fears.

JONGSEOB: Our first album, DISHARMONY: STAND OUT posed questions and pointed out problems, while DISHARMONY: BREAK OUT is about acknowledging these problems, and finding a way to resolve these issues, which is to be confident, ‘break out,’ and become a better person.

AllHipHop: What does it mean to give back to your country through the arts?*

KEEHO: I am so honored and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this global movement that K-pop is becoming. But then again, to be honest, I also feel a lot of pressure and responsibility. I want to reach out to as many people as I can by making good music and want to show our performances to our fans all across the globe.

THEO: I think it’s a great honor, and I am super proud of it.

JIUNG: I am also proud of K-pop and am grateful for all the support we have been getting. This makes me want to work harder to become an exceptional artist.

INTAK: Being a K-pop artist with the opportunity to help expand K-pop is such an honor, and I am filled with gratitude that I was given this opportunity by my company and all the staff members who are helping us.

SOUL: I am also very proud, and I feel like I was destined to become a K-pop artist [Laughs].

JONGSEOB: I am doing what I’m doing because I wanted to be onstage to perform and write/make music, but it’s so amazing that K-pop is headed towards such a positive direction.

AllHipHop: How did you guys come together?

KEEHO: We were put together for how well we worked together as trainees and for the harmony we created as a team. I think that is also the reason why we are all so close to each other.

AllHipHop: How tight-knit are you guys?

KEEHO: Yes! We are super close. We spend so much time together; we train and see each other every day so I think that’s why we are so close. But above all, we communicate a lot and are like family. I think we are lucky and fortunate that we all get along so well.

THEO: We are REALLY close.

JIUNG: We are SUPER tight-knit

INTAK: We are like family.

SOUL: I think of them as my family in Korea, that’s how close we are.

JONGSEOB: We are close enough to share everything.

AllHipHop: How has debuting in the middle of a pandemic been for you?

KEEHO: Honestly, we didn’t have that much trouble or difficulties. We spent more time training and working on our music since we couldn’t go out. The only thing that was kind of unfavorable was the fact that we didn’t get to see other people and experience things that could have inspired us for our music.

THEO: It was difficult because we couldn’t meet our fans in person.

JIUNG: We didn’t have many difficulties when we were preparing for our debut. The only difficult thing was that we couldn’t perform in front of people.

INTAK: I didn’t experience difficulties

SOUL: I think the pandemic is difficult, but what’s more difficult for me personally is the language barrier!

JONGSEOB: The only thing that is hard to deal with is that we don’t get to see our fans during TV music program shoots or when we are onstage.

AllHipHop: What’s the hardest thing to adjust now that you’re gaining more recognition?

KEEHO: I don’t think there is anything to really adjust right now, and I don’t think I will need to adjust to getting recognized more [Laughs]. I like people and attention! I’m assuming later in our careers; it might get hard when our personal lives diminish, but that too, I don’t think it will be hard for me to adjust. I am very good at adapting!

THEO: I’m OK with getting recognized more, but it’s difficult when they want to see my cutesy stuff in person.

JIUNG: I am a bit worried that I’m not going to have much of a personal life.

INTAK: I don’t have any problems. I think I have already adjusted to this lifestyle! [Laughs].

SOUL: I agree with Intak

JONGSEOB: I have none.

AllHipHop: What can we expect next from the group?

KEEHO: Please continue to show us love and support as we will be releasing a lot of new contents, music, as well as holding more performances.

THEO: I hope to become more at ease when I’m onstage and hope we can grow as one of the more charismatic groups.

JIUNG: I want our fans and everyone to anticipate the amount of energy we will have when we are onstage performing in front of an actual audience.

INTAK: Please look forward to what kind of messages we will be delivering with our music.

SOUL: Please look forward to our future promotional activities with a lot of love and interest!

JONGSEOB: We will become a group that is continuously evolving and excelling in every facet so please look forward to our every move, and we will also continue to release our new message and worldviews.
