[Abandoned by the Lightners, his heart became cracked with hatred.]
Hitting a lil' too close to home?
#junie art post#ink sans#error sans#utmv#errorink#implied. but yea not the focus#this has been turning around in my mind for quite some time. im glad to finish it lmao idk if my ramblings make sense even.#so like listen. do you ever think about how similar the function of the utmv is to the dark worlds in deltarune.#in a meta narrative to fandom sense? idk the word#we are making exaggerated expanded worlds of the ordinary tools and entertainment of the real world and make it into something more#isnt that very very interesting?#and we explore every sort of possibility in that creation. both good and bad#and when all is said and done. every possibility found and the entertainment and secrets has all run out#we put it away. abandon and leave it behind#what is left? what happens to the world and characters we have created? can it sustain without us?#what of the ones left in the dark?#idk if yall saw me a few months ago but i reblogged comyet's old post of ink begging us not to leave him alone and to keep creating#yea that never left me#and seeing exactly THAT SCENARIO in deltarune made my brain iTCH#imagine an ink in King's position.... wait isnt that just underverse#mmmmmmm. darkner ink.....#also error is here too. not just for errorink or that i can't separate these two to save my life#but error is also one of the few people to be able to GET IT?? he can hear the creators too. ink cant#but hes pretty much programmed himself to avoid having a mental break down to this via reboot memory loss.#and ink has his own internal coping mechanism (hooray for short term memory loss)#these two idiots will do anything but confront truths lmfao#ahhh my favorite idiots. never change#mmmmm#deltarune

Can Luka shapeshift into different things?
Yep
#might depend on the thing and how good he is at imagining it and shapeshifting it but like#he can shapeshift limbs (extra limbs or turn limbs into something useful)#he CAN fully shapeshift into other things or people but the full body shapeshifting takes a lot outta him and heād rather use that energy on#being himself#if he is shapeshifting into people heās gotta have like a good idea of what they look like in order for them to be accurate#like if he turned into clover or mj based purely on memory while only having known them a short time#or having no reference thereās be some tells that would make it clear itās him#FOR EXAMPLE he canāt mimic voices for shit#soss

when it comes down to it, however much i think about eiffel's memory, whatever my reasoning might be, i think there's a much simpler core explanation for why i feel the way i do. i've said before that, if eiffel did regain his memory, i would want it to happen through 'an eiffel version of change of mind' i.e. a personal inner journey where the narrative he tells himself amounts to some greater reminder, self-confrontation, and self-realization. and that's just it:
eiffel regaining his memory wouldn't be a cop out to me for the same reason that lovelace not actually dying isn't a cop out: it's not just a story beat, it's a catalyst for character development & a better understanding of lovelace as a person. eiffel has spent his whole life trying not to be the person he is, and i just don't feel wolf 359 is the type of story to let him off the hook for that, when the ending is as much about accountability (to ourselves and to others and all the ways those responsibilities overlap) as it is about hope. i think there are ways you could argue that eiffel can still be eiffel without regaining his memory, but i think i've convinced myself that the symbolic resurrection / self-confrontation and acceptance of all the people he's been in the past, in order to move forward, is the more compelling option, especially for what it parallels, and the "eiffel is still eiffel" part is non-negotiable. it doesn't even feel like a question to me.
(and it makes the most sense to me in the context of eiffel's survivor's guilt - "of course i was fine. the driver's always fine." - and tendency towards a type of self-sacrifice and self-punishment that the show ultimately denies him / that doesn't address his real problem. he thinks sacrificing himself for the people he cares about will make up for something, but it won't. having him make that sacrifice and then keep living and keep being doug eiffel, with everything that means, feels like the natural extension of constructive criticism.)
in another story, or in a more theoretical context, there are all kinds of questions you could ask about whether eiffel's memory loss means he's a different person now, but in this case... i think it's better understood in narrative terms and what it represents for him as a character than any broader philosophical conclusion about the nature of the self and human consciousness. (and it is in no way as absolute as people sometimes behave like it is, considering he still has a concept of, like... everything. but that's a whole other topic of discussion.) most importantly, i just don't believe wolf 359 is a story about ideas as much as it is a story about people, these people, and in order to (hypothetically) continue to tell a story about doug eiffel, well. he has to still be doug eiffel. one way or another.
#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#this was supposed to be a short post just to get some thoughts out#i don't know if it'll even make sense to other people like it makes sense to me.#obviously i have plenty of other thoughts about this. which belong in more structured posts#but i will say i still believe the question 'am i still doug eiffel?' is answered by its context -#that he's already asked 'am i still that same person?' - a different question. the answer to which would be 'no' even before#and that 'am i still doug eiffel?' is the set up for 'wanna find out together?'#that's the actual question being asked. it's the answer to the previous question and what the show leaves you with#when asked about the show the writers talk a lot about their fondness for 'earned happy endings' in those words#so i can only see the finale and any post-canon hypothetical through that lens#it's not a tragedy so any option that would make it feel like one just doesn't resonate#and i will say it feels important to me that he regains his memory but equally important that it doesn't happen right away#like i'm sure of this from a narrative perspective but from an in-universe one it has to be something he grapples with#the fact that eiffel almost certainly doesn't want to still be eiffel is the exact reason why he has to be.#it's the same 'earned happy endings' principle in my mind

Hello from one former altar server to another! šš»š
Hellloooo <3 XDDD It is nice to see another former server XDD
Of all the things being an altar server helped me with, I'd never imagine it would put me on the path to writing a homoerotic bishop/demon short story LOL.
#how did we all end up here#tbh#i have so many thoughts/memories abt altar serving and nawt all great - i hated most of the people who went to my church#but it made my grandmother happy so highkey that is the only thing that mattered <3#but like i mean it helps me remember the order of mass#it was interesting being there when the priests and deacons dressed up#and actually talking to them and having conversations#like casual shit while we were all putting on our albs/vestments#i remember going to my priest and asking him to 'get us the albs with hoods >:/ like they have at xyz church'#he said#'we don't have the money!!! XD'#tbh it was also the functionality too#because they cost a lot but also would we WEAR the hoods#anyway#will some of my old convos with my parish priests make it into my short stories#mayhaps

LMAO so funny thing is everyone knows the whole Sonic and Shadow looking alike thing is total bullshit and I totally agree those comments they try to pull in the games and show(s? I'm not technically a Sonic fan I dunno if it's multiple) make basically no sense to me but then my Mom comes in while watching Sonic Prime and says "So what, Sonic has a brother or something?" and this whole other world has opened up to me and I've seen the truth of it all
#so to clarify I do not consider myself a Sonic fan since I have never played a Sonic game and I've never read any of the comics#and idk the lore cuz I've never really bothered to watch other people play it and I have watched some of the shows#y'know my grandma had 4Kids so sometimes I would catch Sonic X on TV#but literally most of my knowledge of the Sonic franchise is just having people talk to me about it#like when I was a kid my grandma babysat these kids who were older than me I forget how old I was like under 10 I think#and one of the kid's big interest was Sonic so I would just sit and listen to him talk about Sonic the entire time I was there#he would play the games too I think but my brain didn't process any of that so I have no actual memory of the screen#I would mostly just pay attention to him talking cuz he would talk about it while playing it was great#so that is the base of my knowledge and then after my grandma stopped babysitting them it was radio silence#until y'know people would occasionally bring stuff up in videos I'd watch and I'd look @ videos about people talking abt Sonic#occasionally and see like memes or YTPs of Sonic or y'know abridged stuff#but I literally never actually watched a Sonic game until Frontiers came out and then The Murder Of Sonic the Hedgehog#and Sonic Prime is the first Sonic show I properly sat down and watched which show is great btw I enjoy it a lot#but yeah and it was vaguely purposeful like I was keeping myself away cuz I know how I am about stuff and I WILL try to learn EVERYTHING#if I get too interested in Sonic as a franchise#oh I did play Unleashed sometime after it first came out and couldn't get past like the first fuckin level but tbf I was like 7 years old#possibly 8 years old cuz I'm not 100% sure how much later I got the game but like I was really bad @ any game that wasn't just like#spamming buttons since I grew up on fighting games lmao#but yeah I dropped the game almost immediated I do not count that for anything#but yeah long story short: all my knowledge is second hand like I still think I know a good amount for what it's worth but#I wouldn't trust my own knowledge

so tired of being a shitty bandaid for my parents' loneliness. like have u ever considered you passed your curse to me and some days i feel so lonely it's like i can't breathe around the emptiness in my chest????
#my dad is like#you can't just be in your room all the time then what's the point of you living here if ill be sitting here all alone then#and im like bhai what#mom also says this to me she always wanted to sit and rant and she used to say you never talk to me#both of these people don't even fucking get it that they're not even interested in me listening to me#mom just wants a sounding board for her venting and dad just wants someone to pretend everything is okay and happy all the time and#the only important things in life is the immediate present and food and making money and stuff#i swear this is why i feel so ????? about myself my identity like no i can't describe myself#because there is no myself there is just a white sheet of paper where people can write whatever they want#im so tired man#why can't they just go and live with each other and leave us kids out of it šš#like i genuinely am getting teary eyed about such a small thing but god. i want to have my own life so bad. im sick of feeling all these#complicated emotions guilt and anger and pity and obligation and duty like just god pls fuck off#people my age are so fucking mature and put together than me so confident so clear about their path#have friends partners breakups parties just so many new memories#and im just stuck.#and im fine with it now because i get it studying is really important and this is quite basic requirement to be perfect at#atleast my syllabus to survive in this industry#but then. let me do that only. please don't make me pretend to like you like spending time with you and everything#ive hated you for like. idk 14 whole years. since the first time you hit mom in front of me#i remember it so well like my childhood broke that day you slammed her into a wall for some stupid fight and her hair was all messy and#untied and you shouted so loud i thought surely everyone can hear. and then you left to roam around the city at night with your friends#i remember this because my mom and my sister sent me to check up on you with the excuse of a painting of a parrot that i had made#i didn't understand anything back then#but yeah fuck you fuck you fuck you for being so fucking delusional thinking i love you or something#ive prayed to god that you die and i still do#it would directly mean 4 people being happy#anyway#dni#this was meant to be fun and short lol fuck

Do you ever think about MEZZO'' and their character development and go insane? Do you ever think about how these two guys who grew up in opposite ways economically both came into the industry with broken families? Do you ever think about how they were so sure they would never get along beyond friendly coworkers but also both wanted to try so hard to get along well with the other? You ever think about how Sogo was so afraid to mess up that he constantly held himself back? Do you think about how Tamaki wanted to learn but had to push past his entire life of putting himself first? Do you think about how they supported each other during the other's reconnecting with their families and, when those families abandoned them, promised to stay with the other?
Just....MEZZO slowly becoming this thing between a real friendship and a family. Not best friends, like they said once, but maybe unbreakable friends
#fandom spamdom#idolish7#note's notes#perhaps i put the label of family too easily on friendship groups#not that im saying family is better btw or that friendships are always fated to turn into another form or love#just that friendship lets itself expand to include other forms of love#and anyway....i just love the portrayal of 'maybe not best friends' but two people with an unbreakable bond#you dont have to be best friends to make a promise you know?#and maybe that in a way is also what family should be...not best friends but people with an unbreakable bond#ive been using the word bond too many times that i see james bond(e) now#anyway sogo and tamaki make me insane and i love this wholesome duo#i should make a fly away post one of these days too#anyway im saying all this because i am actually in terror that there will be some epilogue or something that....#....has the group broken up or something but in friendly terms and with good memories - bittersweetness and all that#which makes sense cause the idol career is pretty short lived and i wouldnt necessarily hate that portrayal....#....but i still fear the damage it will give me should it happen (SHOULD)

thinking abt how much of my life iāve lost to depression and i truly want to throw up
#day to day doesnāt feel like much but. oh no itās been like fully a decade#i wish therapy wasnāt so expensive#bc for a while i was on meds (that. didnāt do much tbh.) but that made me feel like i was Treating It so i was making progress#spoiler alert it did not. and now the fact that iāve wasted so much of my life is making it worse#bc everyone else i know has like. lives and people in them#and i pretty much just have my parents. and my mom is also going through it#i have relied SO much on them and that also feels bad!!! feels like iāve taken advantage of them!!!!!#i know people talk about how much it messes w your memory but i figured it was short term bc the days all blend together#i literally had a moment yesterday where i forgot i went to college at all#the whole thing feels like a missed opportunity bc i didnāt do anything i wanted to really#i was too afraid to go to clubs that looked interesting. i didnāt think practically abt what i was studying#i mostly didnāt have roommates but when i did i was Bad At It#i managed to go through the whole time only speaking to like. three people#so you can see how itās kind of. completely forgettable#i have worked jobs bc itās a paycheck. never really enjoyed them never really made friends (even tho now iām kicking myself for not keeping#in touch with some people) but i have always kept a very strong work/life division even in school#because i was there to do a Specific Thing so thatās all that matters yknow#anyway. sometimes i DO wish i could go back to high school bc even tho it sucked. it was structured#and i had resources and more time to try things and like. a life outside of my computer. a little bit#yknow. i feel like people have more sympathy if youāre anxious abt everything and never gone outside#when youāre 16 as opposed to 25

Every single week, without fail, I lose an object. It's always an object that I place on a very specific place every single time, but then one time I decide to put it away somewhere else. I NEVER remember where that is. The one thing I hate about myself, and I do mean deeply and profoudnly hate, is how fucking shitty my memory is. I have gotten late to work because I picked up my keys on the way out, but then quickly set them down somewhere, but because I picked them up it was enough for my brain to register as "you have your keys" and then I couldn't find them anywhere for 30 minutes. I once tore the house apart, literally throwing drawers open and looking under the bed in despair, because I hung my purse on the mirror instead of the coat-rack behind the door, and I could not find it. This shit happens every week. Last week it was a wallet I just found crushed between two books, and today it's a recipe book. Next week it will be something else.
"You should try--" nothing works. It got so bad at one point I was literally medicated against my will, and it did shit. Every single technique known to man, from every ADHD online guru to Improve Your Memory gurus you can think of, everything failed. It's just a fucked up thing about my brain I have to live with.
#there's one thing that happens on a daily basis#every single day#while holding an object#I walk across the house and set it down for some reason#maybe i need both my hands maybe im pickign something up#i can NEVER find that object again#It's a passing-by-and-dropping-it-here-just-so-i-can-quickly-do-something-else thing#i can never remember where i dropped it#it was literally 15 seconds ago#i dont remember#when people say to me āoh you have great memory for knowing all this history!ā it takes me reading somehting about 5 times to get it throug#but thats LONG TERM memory#short term is the shittiest ever produced#I cannot memorise 4 numbers for 10 seconds

Mmm Jeanne
#servants cant learn new stuff (i'll talk about jalter in a second) therefore#jeanne shouldnt know how to read or write#we actually Dont get a confirmation that she can do those things in summer 3. because the book that jalter thought jeanne wrote#was actually Her own book#jeanne works with marie. maybe she comes up with the ideas and does rough drawings that marie would be Delighted to bring to life#marie reads to jeanne is my image#jalter taught herself how to read and write and i think that was possible because of the unstability of her existence#if you try to teach jeanne how to read and write it will stick for a second but if like idk 15-20 min pass she would likely find herself#unable to read again and her writting to be suboptimal#she can sign her own name ofc thats historical#she can recite the bible from memory iirc#i love jalter's ability to be her own person even if it comes with the fact that she is very much. an ephemeral dream#like her FCKING SKILL IS CALLED.#WHY MUST YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS FGO#anyway. now jeanne again but physical#oughhh thank u for the support in the tags when i said jeanne should have self image issues because she looked different in life#i hadnt fully talked bout it i just went with hair but yeah. i need to check again because im pretty sure her body wasnt Suuuper different#but i just gotta confirm#but im just so i love the idea of her just not liking the way she manifested abd not knowing Why she manifested like that#when there are Countless depictions of her with her short brown hair#sieg looks to the side whistling (its not his fault but he knows the pseudo servant part#and its probably a mix of . fate apocrypha's manifestation and of how some people imagined jeanne looked like#but it still upsets her#not that she'd ever complain to people#you can probably get it out of her tho#unrelated and only to those who reached this far: im thinking of a singularity set in 15th century orleans in the Middle of the hundred year#war. but the difference aint āoh jeanne d'arc came back to life evilā rather than āthere seems to be a battle here where it shouldnt and oh#my god is that jeanne- oh god jeanne d'arc fucking died--#and chaldeas has to try and fix the war without living breathing jeanne d'arc#actually thats not the middle of the 100yearwar but yknow what i mean. also haha jk unless...

pokemon has jaded me so much that when i go to kirby (which id easily claim is the special interest directly behind pokemon in my brain) im like automatically not expecting that much and im actually amazed in the end when it delivers like every time. man i really do need to play more video games. its hard when the only thing i have is a mac and a switch tho :(
#i think the one time i can say i was really disappointed was kirby battle royale bc it wasnt fun#thats like. it. i havent tried many of the side games that have come out like fighters 2#but even with stuff people didnt care for in general like star allies? i cant say i was disappointed at all i have good memories w that game#dream friend wave hype was so much fun for me at the time and i love the lore that came with it#and playing as all the fan favorites is fun. its not my favorite and yeah the balancing was pretty bad but like#i sure as hell enjoy it more than the pokemon games that came around around that time#like i was honestly paranoid that rtdl dx would be a soulless cash grab with no new content and just a bit of pandering to appease ppl#but its not they honestly went all out with it and the magolor epilogue isnt devoid of content at all#or an attempt to cash in on magolor being a fan favorite it feels like a genuine tribute to him and an attempt to redeem him#sure it didnt add quite as much as super star ultra did to super star#but that feels hard to compare bc super star was in need of a remaster and had a lot of room for more content#bc it was framed as a pack of games instead of one long one so they added some more short games#while rtdl is two full length games already in one with like two subgames and the arenas#so epilogue and merry magoland are more than enough for me#i was expecting there to be like nothing and a noticeable downgrade in quality from the original and its not#see pokemon is a good interest to have. it makes me appreciate other games more.#echoed voice

Going that insane route of trying to piece the stories together through game's special cut ins before battles (p much one of few of its small ways to provide story/characters context), official little descriptions and pixiv logs We're really in it now
#shut up seraph#I'm doing great fantastic even there's only 1 I can't get because it was either short or not much people gave a shit orz#everything else tho think I have more or less base outline?#feel like my fave story is either tragedy of dragon folks or a knight guy with some anger issues going on a quest to save his corrupted#other knight friend...a mage named Merlin is also there#3rd be of musketeer who yeeted himself back in time to fix the present and left his ānotā gf in past. As past got āfixedā she lost memory o#him but the soul still earns. And he got into dark route back in the past without her. love is real without each other you make urself wors

You are right about the ADHD but also anxiety or nerves also diminish executive function like memory. Itās dead funny though that itās 1D songs Louis is having the most trouble with. The choruses are fine but he hasnāt got the verses yet because he didnāt sing those bits.
That would make a helluva lot of sense, plus those songs stem from a DECADE AGO during a time of intense anxiety, plus plus at least 2//5 of those suffering from that particular form of ptsd have talked about how they were fucking wasted during most of those shows, so yeah, how is it surprising lol, but no, it's short-term memory loss due to WEEEEEEEEEEEEEED, drugs are bad, m'kay
#i just figure if you already have some adhd#and you're trying to replicate something from 10 years ago that you used to do with other people#when you were five sheets to the wind#wouldn't it make sense?#i don't get the weirdos trying to say it's because he smokes so much WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED#he's a 30YO with SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS ON ACCOUNT OF ALL THAT WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
