hi nakamura (i'm. not entirely sure which name you prefer to go by,,)
i. don't really know, personally, the depths of hurt that came from min leaving can't claim either. to understand what your going through right now
you both seem really close. it was always funny, toĀ read ur asks that you'd send i remember reading the "happy morning" one you sent and it had like this image of a smiling kid for some reason, for like a solid 5 months i just thought "oh cool, so that's what they look like:0" before i looked back and thought, "huh wait. they always added (very funny,Ā mind you) meme/pics to their asks. was that pic a meme too-?" and only then did i realize lmao
looking back on his responses, i can almost hear the amused tone or, however min would react. lol it was nice to see him talking to people who cared about him
im. not really sure what to say, without coming off as like.. pretentious.? but. if i can just assume for one second, from the asks they'd answer of yours, to everything i hear about min from all the people who know him, i. i. assume he really cared for you, and. i assume you cared for him as much.,
i dont. know your situation, at all. min had. already made up his mind when i even found his blog. so, just. i hope you'll be able to make a decision, you'll be. happy with
the future could get better. it could get worse i can't really see which one it'll be. i don't understand how close you and min were, at all but know. you arent alone im not sure, if you need to. understand or know someone to be there for them,but from the looks of it, min was. never really alone if he had you. so,i hope you also know your not alone there'are people here for you
im sorry. this is probably, meaningless to you in hindsight i just. yeah. in the end, whatever you choose is your decision but. your not alone im sorry if this comes off as assuming.Ā please. feel free to ignore this ask, if it oversteps in anyway or is just uncomfortable. i know sometimes one might just want- to vent and let it all out and the to have that acknowledged or responsded to might be. uncomfortable i. hope i didnt come off that way
but .yeah,
nice to. meet you by thw way. O(ā©wā©)O (im sorry the kaomoji is so out of place jhsjsh i just remembered that one ask u sent hh)
hi custard
it hurts that he's gone, obviously, and i just haven't been on Tumblr for a minute, so seeing everything again is having a terrible effect on my psyche (ill live though haha). im just super weird about him and i realize that uhh nobody really knows that. but I'm super . . weird about him and uhhh yeah and um i regret everything lol
im surprised you thought i was a young chinese boy :sob: but. i understand how you could make that.... mistake.....
did you know the :smile: :sob: thing is a discord reference? :sob: is š and :grimace: is š¬. if you're on a phone and u type the emoji out it should probably pop up, and the same thing happened on discord so he. um would do that when posting on Tumblr too out of habit, and i guess it eventually became a Min-Pal staple haha
and yeah he definitely cares about me, and im mad at him because he cares about me and left me his emails and shit to take care of and he did that because he knew im. weird and needed more than old messages and tumblr posts and i . m glad he did do all that and i love having some stuff to hold onto like his Spotify but. it's just upsetting i guess, since you know, id rather have him.
its really funny seeing how other people view him, to me, at least, i guess since i got to see not just him being bad-pathetic but him bad-bad in general (and I'm not going to explain further than this, as i, despite claiming to find it funny, am happier than not that he died with a t least a somewhat positive. Uh. Perception.)
idk I'm not like, a great persoj, and i did Just let him die instead of going to unimaginable lengths. and I regret that everyday, but he was so steadfast. he just didn't care anymore , and he had me to talk to but it was like he didn't care about trying (because once he decided he'd died, what really mattered past that?) Ssorry this is all so congested and contradictory and I make no sense
and, id love to believe you when you say stuff like "you're not alone" but it's terrible because I really am. like it's out of personal fault, but even the people I feel as though I could go to for help, I coukdnt bring myself to,, not when it's anything Too serious,, not to mention the fact I just got dumped because he said I was 'unhealthy' (after 10 months of reassuring me that its ok if I am cuz he'll help... but that's. A whole different thing and has nothing to do with min and I'm just bitter and bringing him up out of.... bitterness.)
and im glad u left the ask mikey i really am
idk it's just kinda sweet. now I feel more like angel and saki..... Auuuhhuhhh
i don't know what to do in any regard currently though so I think I'm just gonna continue mourning something that's been gone for a year now. Someone. and being bitter and upset, and reminiscing and trying his memory into music I like (and emailing my bf. [not considering him an ex] [email cuz he blocked my number] obsessively until he decides to take me back)

Do you like the Evil Within 2?
Yeah! Certainly not as much as the first one (i was not immune to being sad they left out fan favorites Jojo and Ruvik's Cube)
The rest of this post is me rambling about things i didnt like about the game, and then things i did like (most of my issues are how they treat the female characters tbh)
Its missing kind of the action-noir-gone-horrifically-wrong feel of the first game. The scare factor also suffers bc our player character has been through this before, hes a veteran at dealing with this crazy shit, it doesnt phase him anymore and by extension it doesnt phase the player. They really like tripled down on the Evil Corporation thing and both the intrigue and horror suffer for it.
This game did not drink its respect women juice (the first one didnt really either, case in point: Everything About Kidman) Sebastian is surrounded by 5+ female characters and only 2 of them survive (and one of them is his 7 year old daughter hes spent the whole game trying to rescue... and yet they never bothered to give her any kind of characterization or agency. A highly empathetic and supernaturally powerful little girl in a monster-infested hellscape?? HELLO???? Lily really had the potential to be the most interesting, sympathetic, and complex character--especially as she slowly lost her innocence--in the WHOLE GAME, but she was just sort of relegated to Plot Device McGuffin) The rest of the female supporting cast are killed off for Sebastian's Man Pain. In fact, THIS ENTIRE GAME IS CENTERED AROUND SEBASTIAN'S MAN PAIN. Torrez is a walking stereotype, shes literally just Vasquez from Aliens. Hoffman was the most likeable and believeable, except when it Turns Out She Was In Love With Liam Or Whatever (psst, guess what, i dont care. Also O'neal was kind of a dick anyway? I dont care x2)
And you know who i SUPER dont care about? Bland-White-Bread-And-Mayo-Sandwich Myra. Where's the no-nonsense firecracker of a police lieutenant Sebastian married? Not here, thats for sure. Her entire personality is "mother" and "worries about stressed-out husband". We got more characterization of Myra in seb's jornals from the first game, where she never even made a physical appearance! Horror media does this SO MUCH, women are either A. Sexy Lamp B. Hurts Men (Sexily) C. Mother or D. Innocent Virgin. It sucks. Do better.
The story lacked the "digging up old buried memories" and "theres more to this than meets the eye" of the first game. It felt too...... Straightforward. Everyone told Sebastian the truth. EVERYTHING WAS EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMED. It all felt too simple, too easy, like there SHOULDVE been something else beneath the surface. And yet there wasnt. (I watched markipliers playthrough and i loved his theory that Kidman was actually Lily. It had such potential. Kidman's entire resume for the police station was fabricated, who's to say the rest of her past wasnt fabricated as well? It would retcon a lot of stuff and like 80% of her backstory from the DLC, but you know games like this arent above retconning important shit, and at least it wouldve been sacrificed for something with actual intrigue. Maybe it wouldnt even retcon anything! Consider: tiny Lily is taken by Evil Corporation and dropped off in a non-nurturing environment that would lead her to become the kind of person who would willingly join & work for an organization like Mobius. At least wouldve been a nice excuse for why Kidman and Lilys face models looked so similar... other than... yknow.... "WomEN ARe hArD tO DRaWwwwwee")
Okay okay ive been ranting for long enough. It probably makes it sound like i kinda hate this game, but i dont! It certainly doesnt hold the same place in my heart as the first one (which i still have very glaring issues with lmao Kidman deserved WAAAAAAY better), but i do like it! It brings back salty, grizzled, tsundere Sebastian Castinellos. It brings back spooky monsters that kill you dead. It brings back having a fun theatrical over-the-top villain who takes himself a litte too seriously.
I love Stefano. Probably not in the way some other fans do, but i love him as a ridiculous theatrical over-the-top villain. He sucks! And i love that he sucks! I love him BECAUSE he sucks! Hes terrible and exaggerated and completely up his own ass and ITS GREAT. He isnt as ACTUALLY THREATENING as Ruvik was (even in his bad assassin's creed cosplay. I could go on and on and on about why Ruvik is simultaneously a ridiculous AND frightening antagonist and how much i love it but uh..... maybe later) but hes such a FUN villain! Hes the kind of pretentious art snob shitheel i cannot STAND irl, but in this game i LOVE to HATE him. Hes just SO over-the-top you kinda wonder if he actually subscribes to the pretentiousness he spouts, or if hes just being Exceptionally Extra.
The other villains? Theodore was.... forgettable. His monsters were forgettable. (Its like how i completely forgot that Frank Manera was a character in Whistleblower for like... 5 years lmao i guess this game also kinda followed that "having multiple named/characterized antagonists in one game" thing that Outlast did) Myra, i just didnt care. Her final design was kinda cool, i liked the red clusters of insect eyes. Her monsters werent really gross enough to be memorable. The only reson theyre gross at all is bc they kinda look like theyre made of semen. (I checked the wiki and apparently Myra's white goo is "psychoplasm" and her monsters lost 99% of their gross factor. I just dont care.) The Administrator literally just looked like a 3D human model of Maxwell from dont starve, and i have to laugh every time i see him. Hes not terribly threatening, all he does is threaten characters to work faster and doesnt actually follow through on those threats. He doesnt even make fun threats like HABIT or anything. He thinks hes so powerful and ominous that his mere presence will frighten the player but hes just kinda all bark and no bite. Hes The Big Bad Company Man so you know hes gonna get whats coming to him, and you know Kidmans gonna be the one to do it to him, so hes not even that much of a threat. Hes whatever.
Stefano definitely got all of the coolest monsters. Many Arms Buzzsaw Lady was terrifying and i love her. And OBSCURA was just *Chef's Kiss* Anima was cool, she kinda looked like a mix of Laura and Samara. The Harbingers were neat, but really only bc ive got a thing for gas masks. The rest of the monsters werent really unique or weighty/threatening enough to be memorable. Now the first game is a fucking TREASURE TROVE of unique monsters *muah* you got Sadist, Sentinel, Keeper, Amalgam, Heresy, Laura, Shigyo, the Twins, Alter Egos, and im probably forgetting some!! But holy FUCK!!!!! And if we're includong the DLC?? MOTHER FUCKING SHADE. SPOTLIGHT LADY. LIGHT WOMAN.Ā SEXY LEGS.Ā Whatever you call her, i fucking love her. Her design is so simple. Helmet. Sheet. Legs. Her voice? Unnerving as hell. Love it. (Also i just personally love the diving helmet. Also like you know how a lot of games have a spotlight mechanic where you have to avoid the light and if it lands on you, you're fucked? LET'S MAKE AN ENTIRE MONSTER OUT OF THAT. She's PERFECT.) Oh and also those weird crawling exploding dudes. They made gross sounds and it was great. (Tbh Keepers still probably my favorite, if only for horny reasons)
TATIANA HOW HAVE I NOT FUCKING TALKED ABOUT TATIANA. Shes like the ONE female character that i fucking LOVE in the sequel. I love how they finally gave her a personality, and that personality is literally just "fuck you, Sebastian" Oh GOD its great shes SO FUNNY. I just.... god i love Tatiana lmao. I love how she makes you kinda uncomfortable too, like she knows something, but she wont tell you bc youre stupid. I didn't like the kind of "all-knowing guide" thing they did to try and make her creepy (like she's a "guide" but then also turns around and is like "no i wont tell you what you need to know bc you """have to discover it on your own""" or whatever") it serves no purpose since she never gave you any actual information, and it didn't succeed in making her creepier, all it did was frustrate me. She was at her creepiest when she IMPLIED she was doing something behind the scenes or knew something you didn't know and then didn't elaborate (not REFUSING to elaborate, just... stopping talking and leaving the statement to hang in the air, like the "getting her nails done" and "its been a long time, detective" and the "now what makes you say that" from the first game) and she was at her funniest when she was interacting with Sebastian from the sidelines, her snide little comments and sarcastic clapping cracked me the fuck up. Tatiana not treating Sebastian seriously was a fantastic touch for a game that otherwise would probably take itself so seriously it would double back around to being silly. Without Tatiana, it would've been just another male-centric gun-toting "survival horror" game, and for the most part, it was just that. She was definitely a much-needed source of slightly derisive comedy and a definite high-point for me, even if they didn't so a great job of making her creepy or fulfilling her "purpose."
Oh I also really love the COLORS in TEW2. The first game fell into the trap of having the colors be totally washed out that a lot of horror stuff does, but it also kind of worked for it. Especially with the color pallette of our main villain and how the whole thing was His World. The saturation of the colors in the second game is a breath of fresh air and gorgeous to look at, and you can even see the color motifs of the game change with each new villain: the game starts out with Stephano has lots of blues and purples and dark reds, when Theodore takes over we get bright orange and yellow contrasted with black and brown, and in the climax with Myra the game goes back to having washed out colors and white (and with her villain design? Let's face it: they were kinda just trying to do Ruvik again) We did get portions that were still kind of wahed out whites and greens and greys, but it wasnt the ENTIRE game, even the big blood-and-brains splatterhouse sections of the first game kinda had their colors weirdly muted for that "Horror Aethetic."
In conclusion, i do like the evil within 2, but i also had a lot of problems with it. And i complain about these problems because i like the game and know it couldve done better, tried harder, and been a LOT more than it was (the wasted character potential is my real overarching pet peeve, probably becuase i loved the characters in the first game, and character development is kind of my whole jam) . But all in all, it was still a fun monster-zombie romp with at least one entertaining villain and fun-to-look-at designs and environments. It wasn't character or horror or even REALLY story driven in the way I know it COULDVE been, but i still had a fun time and enjoyed myself.

Know & Determinate: II- the surface and a lame witch; chap 1
/racism, /hate crime, /physical assault, /alcohol, /c slur, /unsanitary, /witchcraft, /panic attack, bad writing. like, really bad. i wrote this when i was in a bs brainspace in highschool to cope.
a self-insert fanfiction where i write what happens after my runs of undertale. written in google docs and idk what im doing. Frisk is 12, use they/them, has a bullshit life, Chara also uses they/them, and is still here, and never meant for all this to happen, they hate each other, and Sans is still, and forever will be, a mess.
_________
here we go with that stuff !! im pumped enough to not collapse of stage anxiety ah ah.
please do not confuse my complicated style for pretentiousness. im but a wordy insecure fool. with a super touchy soft spot for a small fat skeleton. and lots of imagination.
this isnāt something for fontcest and frans shippers and gross ppl who villainize and misgender kids and call gay couples āhawt sinā tho. u guys are uglies and i hate you, go away. ;U
_________
āSansā i deadpanned.
He perked up a little, his forever-fucking-smiling expression mirroring my tone -with his eyes. Eyesā sockets. Those were the only hints of what he was actually thinking. Because his fake smile -fake, iām so sure of it, so fake smile, it only ever dropped when Friskās puppeted body struck him down, the very only moment he stopped- wow getting sidetracked. Anyway.
āSans.ā i repeated. i need to repeat myself a lot. Verbal dyspraxia i think. He didnāt seem to know that and squinted a bit more, indication of his annoyance/suspicion/mistrust/wariness. ās what his squinting usually means, directed at me. Canāt blame him. āiā¦ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ Truth is, i donāt actually know what to tell him. ās just. i love him, and i know it sounds crass and misplaced blurted out like this, but as a consequence, iām worried about him. A lot. Constantly. i hope bpd isnāt blurring my judgement too much. ām not sure he does take care of himself as well as he deserve. And look whoās talking, right ? But he is surrounded by loving friends and family. And has his brother. He could get help. Good help.
Damn my hesitance was making him unnerved. I could see it in how he turned to me, bone hands switching in and out of his pockets. I only hugged myself tighter, hands vaguely gesturing.
āiā¦ Could i offer you to crash on my couch sometimes ? Or bed even, i donāt use mine a lot, actually. Since itās, yāknow, closer to a good part of your odd jobs than your house and Papyrus isnāt home then ?ā Dang that was weirder out loud. i kept a blank face to show i was serious. i was- the guy looked even more tired than me. Tells something.
āuh. kid, you got something going in the back of your mind ?ā Damn he took me too seriously. Squinting hard at me now, he was the perfect studied statue of calm judgement. Damn he was good at those.
āWell, safe from letting you get a good deserved rest more easily, not much !!ā i made sure to answer jovially, doing the whole āpunching the air round and low in excitementā thing. We could be two playing the happy clown game.
i had found him at Grillbyās, like usual. his food was getting cold. like usual too. what was less usual was the tense manner he held himself when i came in, and how he āstraightenedā up, like he had forgotten himself, when i greeted him, pat on the shoulder. he would have flinched but he wouldnāt have wanted me onto him about it. so his eye socket had violently twitched -violently as in, noticeably, by his standards, and...uh lost myself again, fuck.
What i mean is that he was having a harsh day, probably after a harsher even night, his ptsd acting up (ām not supposed to know ābout that. He himself doesnāt even know it. i just read. and relate), and i wanted to help him. now, maybe i had been presumptuous thinking i couldā¦
So thatās why i insisted, vigorously,
āAnd uh-we can watch some trash movies and stuff, anytime, and like you can just stop by during your in-between shifts, even if iām not home, iāll give you a spare key and-ā sudden stop. oh no. He gave me The Hand.
He indeed did, holding it up, like he wanted me to slow down. i did, obviously, but uh. did that mean i was overwhelming him, or annoying ? Was there a difference ?? Did it matter ???
Not now, because he was talking, and internal anxiety mini attack made me split focus, and i wanted full focus on what he said, on him.
ālook kid,ā i hate he calls me that āi appreciate whatchu tryin to do hereā meh.liar. spill it. ābut i canāt accept. paps would be upset if he knew i was squatting-ā
āNo he wouldnāt !! He would call it āGREAT FRIENDLY HANGOUTS OF RESTā and be very happy we uuh spend time together and stuff-ā
āokā glaring at me now, probably pissed i used his broās good nature to shot down his excuse. Heh. Two play at that game. ābut hereās the thing.ā he advanced himself up to me, nearly out of his seat. i held my ground. uh oh. āwe a r e nāt f r i e n d s.ā
Ouch. i mean i knew this but. Ouch. His eyes hadnāt blacked out on that last part, but nearly, too. Could be that his already hazy eyelights had just dimmed in exasperation but um. That didnāt feel any better. i gulped. Just a little. Just to keep down the new forming clog in my throat. Just a little one. i knew this.
āi know this !! but look, we could be, if we hanged out !ā i didnāt dare say more. My eyes stung a lil bit too much for my liking and while never embarrassed by my tears, didnāt want to embarrass him.
ās not like i was seriously hurt. i knew where we stood, and that my crush was going to stay that, a crush. what really stung was the utter lack of trust and the hatred-like suspicion he had of me. that and also feeling like iām watching someone drown, but canāt help, because when i reach out they swat me away in fear i would be the one pushing them further. Thatās probably more of my saviour complex dramatizing everything, but itās bad to be helpless when you know someone, and youāre the only one to notice where theyāre headed, because theyāre great at pretending, but itās like looking at yourself in a mirror for you. Get me ?
But. Thatās fair. We hadnāt started well off. At all. Oh boy we hadnātā¦
___
Seems like now would be a good time to make a small recap, uh ? ābout how i ended up knowing that dude, falling in love, analysing his mental shit and all that jazz. Yeah.
me, some lame girl who wonāt eat for days and forgo sleep just because, who doesnāt shave but my actual hair, doesnāt do makeup, who doesnāt smile when Iām told to and who grins for no apparent reason whenever a new daydream pops up, because iām kind of stuck in my own head because itās better in here. because ofā¦ trauma crap. i get by by drawing and playing games where i can just save everyone.
i donāt know if you get what i mean. i sorta hope you donāt. Because it hurts. But at the same time itād be awesome if you did, because y a y letās relate about crap !
Donāt know if it matters, too.
Could help to get a few friends. But being Ā an asocial, asexual, kinda aromantic mess kinda throws that out of the window. Youād think so many A would get me higher in life eh heh heh heh heeeeehā¦ not funny. iām not funny. My life is not funny. The way i react to it can be, though.
Like, that one time i was hanging out on my own, outside the bar i had first entered with classmates, as i tried to be less of a hermit, in a bar street and fled because i can't stand alcoholic jerks, and then saw this crowd of tough guys ejecting a small and stout person in a blue hoodie from said bar by fucking throwing a chair at them through the fucking window, and seeing that this little dude is a monster, and knowing theyāre gonna get busted down to a puddle of dust by the mastodont looming over them if nobody intervenes ?
i reacted funny.
---
āYoo-ou ffffffuking cunt, I-Iām gonā mash you to the dirt yo motha shitted after getting fucked by yooour d-d-dog of a oold man-ā
As he spits the words, an obviously very drunk dude stumbles closer and closer to the monster, his hands shaking like he wants to grip their head and smash it.
Freak it. This son of a bitch may be slurring like he drank the whole city, but heās for sure all out to kill him ! Get up and run, little dude !
ācāmon man, āfucking cuntā , fun king or earl, itās still a bit early to speak ābout mothers isnāt it?ā
[i recognize him]
Pfft- what ? i snort loudly from my spot.
Okay, this is a gloriouslyĀ bad, stretched pun -but now is not the time for goodnessā sake ! Run, dude, run -wait, is that a skeleton ?!
[i recognize him]
Oh my fuck, how dumb is that dude, going out in a popular bar at what-the-heck-hours in this stupid city ! There were shootings and assassination attempts on the monster gym leader not even two blocks away yesterday ! And you just go in there with a face that screams āLOOK AT MEā ?! Are you stupid or do you just lack of basic preservation instincts ?!
The brute keeps advancing, spouting shit, a sort of gang backing him up, toward mc comicbonedude, a guy i assume, given the voice, but with monsters you never know, genderās a myth but not them- whoās still on the ground, backtracking, crawling with a grin it didnāt drop the whole time, is it stuck or something and doesnāt look like getting up holy crap he canāt get up, the more hatred a monster is confronted with the hardest it hits he must be low on hp or something heās gonna get killed
[i recognize him]
mc comicbonedude cracks another joke or is it his ribs cracking under the viscious kick he just got heās thrown nearer the spot iām chilling in. Another kick. Nearer. They can't see me, iām well hidden in the shadows. Another kick.
This time, mc comicbonedude gags out a pun about sole-ution to the problem being-
FUCK OFF!! a gun is being drawn out.
Screw this iām not witnessing a murder, fucking racists fucking xenophobics fucking city full of fucking shitheads there are other people around here why isnāt anyone but i donāt want to die either that's how it is, eli, always strive for yourself.
i get up fast and sprint to the monster, screaming about cops and a monster attack and insults, anything to spark a bit of panic, deck a scrawny fucker the one who.was.going.to.shoot.him. and aim for the skeleton, who yells.
[i recognize him]
i grab him by the hood and run in some narrower streets, hearing yells after me, and the anxiety is building up a little too much for my usual adrenaline numbing spell to work-
i trip on some trash and my own feet -same difference, fall over, roll, get up thatās how you do it eli, hit and roll, but back on your feet. And keep running, holding the monster close to my chest heās warm that means heās still alive and ok, right, left, dodge the you whore you bitch get back here you bitch and the bullets yup iām good at thiiiiiiis- a bullet still grazes my ankle, I stumble, nearly faceplant, and it hurts but like a sting and Iām still alive. The adrenaline keeps pumping and i feel so light, i sprint into a shabby alley, panting like a dog, i think iām crying, and drool is mixing with it. i can feel the headache coming, and mc comicbonedude is heavy enough to slip in my arms why wonāt he move ? Is he dead ? Is he in shock ?
[i recognize him]
i run to a staircase, you know, the rusty and slippery metal kind outside buildings for fire escape ? Exactly what i need, as the assholes keep firing at me, huh. I climb, to the top, jump to the next building am i really doing this as me for real and run. i donāt know if theyāre still after us, my ears wonāt stop ringing, and i canāt tell it apart from sirens. Iām on a four stories building running to save a skeleton who
who starts emitting blue and yellow light and what the hell is happening why am i floating holy fuck iām two inches away to be totally out of not-looking-near-enough-at-all- concrete to fall on.
[i recognize him]
[*focus insufficient]
[*procedure fails]
Heās silent. Sprawled two meters away from where Iām hanging
h-how did i
Looking exhausted and furious, like a cornered dog who has already taken on a tiger in the past, and from his left pupil thereās a cyan blue and yellow flame ? crackling, or bubbling ? or is it just flashing. canāt tell eyes too blurry. and dark blue is surrounding me at my sternum is that monster magic itās beautiful, did i get headshot i canāt thing straight no. i canāt breath. Itās holding me in place. i canāt breath properly. i try to call out for him, heās just overreacting in an understandable alarm but
please donāt crunchy crush the goofy girl on the cracking hard ground but when I try, I look at his eyes. One is glowing a fiery but disturbed cyan and yellow, with shards of red here and there, and the other is blank dead. Black. iām terrified. He pants and thatās the only sound for a while. Heās alive. Good. Am i going to still be alive after this ?
āDONāT DROP ME DONāT WANNA DIE DONāT KILL ME OKAY IT'S THE LAST TIME IāM HELPING OUT ANYONE I PROMISE IāM SORRY PLEASE DONāT KILL ME. DUDE PLEASE.ā
āwha- ghh- !ā He flinches like waking up. He lets go- lets go of meeee-
āAAAAAAAAAH NO !ā He gasps and grasps again. i only slipped a meter into nothingness āOh please please please i really donāt wanna die, and not falling, it looks like suicide i donāt do that i managed not to so donāt spoil it all ok i-ā
āwhat- kid no stop r-ā
āSO SORRY DONāT KILL ME DONāT-ā
ā kiiiid pleaseā heās clutching at his skull now.
āPLEASE D-ā
āshut. upā
Ok. Not talking.
Whimpering and sobbing a bit, but he better take this because iām having an anxiety attack and it will escalate into a hyperventilation fit if he doesn't lower me on the ground and I can't calm down.
āPlease donāt kill me.ā blurts out anyway of my gritted teeth.
A white light bulb alights in his empty eyes socket, and the glow in the other dims. Could he not see me before ? Hey, is that a crack across his skull ? Augh that looks like it s t i n g s.
ā H-hey, there. You- ah, fffuck this hurts. You okay ?ā i try.
Nothing. He stares at me, as if watching out for something. I can feel the power around me wavering. He needs to come to his senses before I go kiss the dirt.
āP-please donāt leave me hanging.ā He snorts, but keeps scrutinizing me, shaking. ās like heās half understanding the pun, half not there. Silent.
āWoah, that was bad, even for me; guess iām just that high.ā i attempt a feeble finger gun.
He holds back a laugh āpffft- what the hell, kid- oh fuck.ā He starts, realizing what iām hinting at. He drags me back to the ground. i still can't move, but breathing is easier. i whimper again -heck iām surprised i didn't piss myself- and draw out a looong sigh.
Now we stare at each other awkwardly is not strong enough to cut it. And i observe, that i m may be sweaty, tired and teary, but he looks bad.
His skull is definitely cracked across his left eye, he wonāt stop shaking, sweats profusely and seems to have troubles breathing so monsters skeletons breathe and pant. Ok. Do they cry too ? Cuz that weird red stuff oozing from his damaged eye doesnāt look like tears but that canāt be bloodā¦ right ?
He looks horrible, if only physically. But the way his eyes sway, with this grin I canāt find the reason for, it worries me more. Is he ... having an episode, or something ? i mean he could be and be totally inoffensive, but ? Was he the one attacking first back at the bar ? is he really having an episode of some sort ? iām not too nice when iām having an episode either.
Should i cry for help ? i can't budge from his grasp.
And i know i shouldnāt but iām feeling an attack coming up- the restraint is triggering my ptsd ridden assā¦..
Let me go y-you there cāmon i canāt take this not my shit nuh uh lemme go lemme go lemme go
ā lemme goā¦ā woah not pathetic at all. āLet me go.ā no reaction, try again āLET M-ā i canāt move my mouth.
The pressure fucktupled, and itās like my lungs and my muscles are being crushed.
āok buddy, pal, chum, whoever you are, what the fuck ?ā
i canāt answer you, you dumbfuck you just muted me
āi mean, nice save and all. thanks i guess. but who the heck and what on earth are you up to ?ā both of his eyes went black oh my god what did i do to your highness Hecate like seriously now how did i end in such a mess.
āH-how about we both calm down first, and talk next ?ā i seem to break through the mute. ok good, deep breaths, count backward from ninety to zero, relax, weāre both freaking out, heās as spooked as you-which is funny cuz heās the skeleton- focus on breathing.
Still no answer. āLook, i, i get it, bad freak out, i interrupted you back there, i get youāre fucked up-ā nothing but his eyes narrowing ā but iām cool. Swear i am. iām cold and māname is uidelsib. you can call me sib ! Cool enough ?ā
i extend my hand, ready to give him a strong good ole handshake, but he doesnāt take up on it.
Instead he stays frozen, āNot cool, dude,ā hand still extended, but lowered, as if he could grab me again ā r e a l l y not cool,ā i insist, and his bones are, heās. shaking ? Yeah. Shivering violently, like heās super cold too, which is pretty normal given heās what. Up with me on a high building, one, two hundred meters in the sky, exposed to the icy wind ? Figures.
His bones are making this clattering clickety sound, stresses me out damn. Heās studying me. But itās also like he canāt focus. Shivering too much. Shock, probably. His eye socketās still oozing that red shit. Not thick enough to be blood, and too scarletish, but what do i know ābout monsters.
[oh, what do i donāt]
He takes a step toward me.
ā not fucking cool, not in the least-ā i let out, jaw still clenched.
His bones rattles one last time, on the cement ground. His knees buckled under him the next moment he moved. His arms couldnāt support him.
i approach him, concerned. Once the pursuitās adrenaline and the near death experience done with, my mind is settling, and i can think more clearly. He, on the other handā¦
He stirs as i come closer. Tries to growl something i canāt decipher, but it comes out as a whimper, pained. My heart constricts in my ribs. Fuck, i hadnāt meant shit to go down like that. i seem to have a talent to fuck up, but i only wanted to help.
i tell him that. He grunts, doesnāt acknowledges me further, and quivers as he tries to stand up. He canāt though. I see it from where i am, he shakes enough to make a dr.pepper bursts.
i snort at the image, a skeleton shaking a bottle fixed on his spine, then flies away with the pressure- w o w iām gone far. Need a bed. Asap. Concentrate on the situation at hand.
He, though, doesnāt react well to my laughter. He immediately stiffens, and
goes slack. Unmoving on the ground. He fainted ? i go on a hunch and inch closer, on the tip of my toes, hunched over myself, because i canāt tell if heās dead or if iām going to be.
[i recogni-- --- [REDACTED]]
i shake my head furiously. i canāt let those thoughts take my attention away from whatās taking place here and now.
iām close enough now. something like a meter away, i can see him still shivering, and hear him rasp some breaths out. So he can breathe-
[i knew tha- [REDACTED]]
Not Now. i need to focus, i got a seemingly dying monster mere steps away from me.
i crouch down, slowly. My leg muscles burn enough iām trembling too and iām pretty sure my teeth are chattering, the noise mingling with his bones against the asphalt.
Heās still face down, arms limp on his sides, and i spy his eyelights peeking at me, way less sharp than when he had me pinned in the air just. one minute ago ?
i creep closer, he tenses, i stop.
āYouāre ok.ā i whisper. āWeāre ok and weāre leaving.ā i try to keep my voice from wavering but meh. ās not like thereās much face to save, for both of us.
i reach my hand toward him. He doesnāt move. i put it on his back, barely pressing, he tenses. And then disappears with a ping.
[ (*did you think i was going to stay here and t--- -- -) [REDACTED]]
NOT NOW I SAID. GE E. WHERE DID HE Go ?
Heās back right where he was. He basically just blinked in and out of existence. And heās looking even more exhausted, if thatās possible, sweating bullets and heaving noisily, before he quiets himself. Heās also glaring at me, but meekly, and iām not too scared anymore to be honest. He looks more frustrated than anything, although i can guess heās actually scared to death. HAH.
āHey youāre ok, i said, i just. Need to get us somewhere safe. Yeah. Not here.ā i croak out. iām starting to feel the freezing wind more, too. i canāt afford to stall and give him time to think. i can still hear the sirens. Theyāre looking for someone. And i donāt want the police on my back, even if i didnāt do anything reprehensible in the end.
So i slide my hands under him, still making sure i donāt touch any possible sensitive areas, and decide to go for the armpits, and hey i might get a tickle out of him ! ...ahah no. As i try to heave him up on hisā¦ surprisingly tiny feet ? did he lose his shoes or. Whatever. He just stays as silent as he is limp. And boy is he limp as a rock. Not quite as heavy though, good.
āYouāre lighter than you look-ā might as well try to make some conversation āand uh, can you walk ?ā Or at least i can try to fill the heavy silence. Letās just forget the ātried to kill youā thing. Weāre both in deep crap anyway, and i can understand having baggage.
He really wonāt walk though. He barely makes a sound too. If i hadnāt heard him sooner iād think he canāt talk or something. i barely get a grunt out of him as i put him on my hip, which isnāt hard given heās like. Half my size. Fun sized boney menace.
And i begin to trudge down the stairs- not the ones i came from, i donāt want to get caught if the cops are back there and itās too far anyways. i want a bed. Now. A lone pillow would do.
He doesnāt seem much different, dangling on my side barely sparing me a glare as i look down at him, checking if heās not dusting yet. He stopped ābleedingā at least. He still got that nasty huge scar.
i can feel him staring when iām not looking. Heās still wary. Probably only lets me pull this only because he canāt not. Heh, at least he doesnāt seem to mind that iām carrying him like youād do a toddler. i just, need my other arm to grip and grab at the staircase bars when i slip.
Nah he looks more disgusted to be touching me than anything. Everytimes we get into more contact, because iām bumping a wall or stumbling on my own feet again, i can distinctly feel him shudder, and try to get away. Itās just a little distracting, and unbalancing, and a lil tidbit hurtful. But i canāt blame him. iād be throwing a fucking fuss and dishing fists if our places switched.
At least itās relatively calm. We didnāt meet anyone, maybe a few rats rummaging garbage, and some monsters hurrying home, Whimsuns i think ? No one that paid us any mind at least.
So weāre still walking slowly when rain hits us hard, and nearly sends me on my ass. Doesnāt help the shivering, but now itāll clean the streets out for sure. Itās something past midnight, i donāt wanna find anyone out at this hour.
But iād kinda appreciate finding my way to somewhere because
āAaaaaaaaaaa a h ahhh i got no idea the fuck iām g-goingā¦ā Ah fuck. i said that out loud. And now my passenger's giving me his best āare u fuckin kiddin meā stare. Heās. Very unamused.
āL-look, this isnāt, this isnāt my part of the city, okay?? iām- iām tryinā to g-get us to the monster neighbourhoods, but i donāt know the fuck where it is, alright ?!ā My tone escalates with my pitch, and i nearly slip again as he flinches away from me. Damn it, not helping eli, still in an episode or something. Donāt yell.
āY-y-yeeah okay, look. ām sorry i cried but iām in shock and still lost, kay? S-so maybe help or somāthinā ?ā Indications would help yeah. And now heās listening, heās also less shaky and putting his weight on me in a way that hinders our progression less. Good.
He nods. Good.
āGood. Gooood good good good.ā iām on autopilot now, following the skeletonās grunted directions. i take a few wrong turns every now and then, but what can you do with nonverbal advice, and we end up in a part of the city i recognize, because iāve seen it on tv and wanted to come look around anyway.
The gym stadium. A big building, at least big for a monster building, given the prices get surprisingly higher when theyāre buying, stylized like a Japanese dojo, with anime advertisement posters (whether for the dojo or the animes i got no ideas) on the walls and- oh my gosh are those- fish, dolphin, shark and starfish stickers on the windows.
āPerfect !ā i half yell, significantly lighting up. Mc comicbonedude looks at me like iāve grown a second head, and i give him a big manic smile, obviously stressed out. My right eye might be twitching a little too. Does that when iām under pressure. He decides to go back to slumping against me and questioning his life choices, and i take that as an āokay GOā to proceed with my genius only just made up plan.
i march up quickly, -i want this DONE WITH. NEXT TIME i GO ON AN IMPROMPTU RESCUE MISSION IāM TAKING MY LEAD UMBRELLA AND A CHANGE OF CLOTHING- to the tall doors, who thanks fucking gods are under a porch, that saves us from being drenched anymore, and pound it with all i got.
āOI BLUE WATER GAL ! OPEN UP!!! I KNOW YOUāRE STILL WORKING, YOU ALWAYS BRAG ABOUT NOT SLEEPING AND PROVIDING A 19/24H SERVICE ON TV!!! OPEN UUUPP!! B I T C H! OPEN!!UP!!ā
Skeleton is googly eyeing me like the second head iāve definitely grown started reciting the ten commandments to belzebuth themselves,
[and heās not too far off]
but i donāt care my dude i am d o n e. If i get welcomed with a fist to the face i donāt give a diggly doogly dang fuck so long i can get inside and lay down. Even on the cold ass tile floor. iām don-
āOI PUNK, WHATāS UP WITH THAT RUCKUS ?? YOU TRYING TO PICK A DUEL WITH ME ? CUT IT OUT UNLESS YOU WANT A POUNDING COMPETITION FUFUFUFUFUFUH~ IāM OFFERING THOUGH !ā
Ah, right, iām still hitting that door. Ouch, thatās gonna swell. Oh welp.
But the voice came from...up?
i step backward some, under the rain, ugh, and look up to see, yup, a noodly armed blue fish person with bright scarlet red hair pulled up in a bun, all sweaty, a poor guy in a chokehold, peeking out of the second floor window, taking in the pouring rain with gusto. A gigantic lightning bolt, quickly followed by loud ass thunder, comes to compliment her boisterous apparition, and she grins- smirks? wide locking her single eye on me, the lighting making her golden teeth flash.
She comes down to greet my miserable form fast, not taking the stairs, but jumping out of the window (much more graciously than mc comicbonedude previously), having let go of her victim- sparring partner previously, good gods, and lands at my feet like nobodyās business, to then bolt up, eager to see the intruder to her night sessions.
And Undyne, former Captain of the Royal Guard of Monsterkind Underground, all steel like blue scales, glinting golden slitted eye and sharp mouth, now renowned Master of Fights in her stadium, among monsters and humans even more, already black belt of more martial arts than i know of, and fresh survivor of one of the biggest terrorist hits on monsters yet, is staring me down, from her easy two meters height, like iām her next meal.
i gulp. iām so fucked.
iām so fucked and not just for the fact that i am royally gay and all, but also cuzā¦
[i recognize her]
[she was so hard to f---- [REDACTED]]
[couldnāt figure out that all we had to do was to run and then ---- -- ------- [REDACTED]]
āUh ?ā Her gaze has finally caught on my now bundled up passenger, whoās shivering in cold rather than fear, on my hip, who only lazily grins a
āsupā
āYO SANS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS WIMPY HUMAN AT THIS TIME OF THE NIGHT ?? AND YāALL ARE SOAKED !! GET INSIDE, NERDS !!!ā
[i know him]
i follow hollowly the orders and get inside, feel a weight leave my side-kinda miss that already, to then feel a big fluffy towel drape over me. Then i sit down. In the hall on the ground, probably. Wooden floor is in my direct line vision. Uh. Thing is well taken care of, all waxed and clear, who would have guessed.
[i know them both. very well actually]
[Chara would be nervously giggling if they were here]
[wonder what theyāre up to]
[and Frisk too, obviously]
[what about Flowey though. no idea what the lil shit is up to in pacifist endings]
iām so f UCK E D.
---
Aaaand thatās how i ended up rocking back and forth in Undyneās dojoās main hall for half of the night, muttering about video games and fucking witchcraft gone wrong again and shit fuck damnit, i guess it was denial all along those last two, six months ? And oOH WELP, guess i did cradle like a toddler my fictional crush for the last, what, half hour ? Whoopsies.
Hhhhhhhh
fuck that ink witch status, that was not planned.
___
When i finish my flashback, and itās been something like six months again since, got to āmeetā his super cool great bro, not on his account though, Undyne just had to introduce Papsy to the dweeb that āsaved his big brotherā and also Asgore, Toriel, for a quick āthanks youā, even a small interview with Mettaton, that made a hit on the Undernet, and mingled a bit with monsters- iām friend with Chesty Brun now (Burgerpants), and Alphys, because weāre following the same mangas-
heās already gone, burger nearly untouched, ketchup covered fries half eaten and drink finished, and iām tempted to ask Grillby, who is hovering close behind his bar, fretting a little, in front of my frozen form, if āyouāre gon throw that out ? sure i canāt finish ?ā Ā Because itād be a real shame to let all that delicious grub go to waste. But thatād be creepy as fuck, even moreso taking my feelings for the small dude, and his against me, so i donāt, and heāll probably feed it to his pet lava rock anyway, so i stop hugging myself and rocking back and forth and go back to my seat, waving him off with a sorry smile, and go back to sullenly sipping my vanilla milkshake.
Canāt blame Sans.
Heās cautious. Understandable.
i know what heās had to put up with.
[and so do all of you]
[dirty brother killers ?]
[i hope not]
[i really wonder howās Chara doingā¦]
AAAAAAAaaaaaaah how do i turn this shit off ?? Let me pretend iām normal in a normal situation stupid brain thing !!
...ah. screw it. this magic milkshake is fabulous. Thatās totally what iām crying about.
āDonāt worry Grillby.ā
_______________
ye donāt worry my dudes. can i call yāall that ? ās gender neutral. ām a demi girl, and you can call me āmy dudeā, my dudes. wow what a bull of crap i pulled here, sorry trans girls and enbies
this isnāt beta read cuz iām on my own and english isnāt my native language, iām french, so plz forgive mistakes.
i had some drafts lying around my google docs for a year now, mostly about bugging and kissing snas, put them together and thought iād do an actual Thing with it all. this isnāt good, i know it.
lest to say i have no idea what iām doing !
and donāt know when thisāll update, it it does. i had the motivation to finish this cuz there was no clients at the restaurant i worked at back in july. blah blah blebs blah.Ā

18 Questions About Music
I was tagged by @and-so-are-youā who is my husband/soul mate/trash can friend. Follow him for art and soft-goth vibes x
1. Which bands/artist do you own the most albums by? this question goes two different ways for me because i own whole discographies of many artists/groups and, some of these artists will have longer careers than others so inevitably they will have more albums, you feel. reality is that i own literally everything Maynard James Keenan has recorded and released in an official capacity either with Tool, APC, or Puscifer - plus soundtracks heās appeared on. The Beatles because i took all of my parents collection and ripped it to my laptop. i own A LOT of Bowie and Prince, all of Museās albums, every Joy Division/New Order, The Cure, Deftones, White Lies, IAMX, Elbow. generally, if i get heavy into a band i become a collector.Ā
2. What was the last song you listened to? The Human League - Seconds
3. Whatās in your CD/Record player right now?Ā i was listening to Cocteau Twins Heaven Or Las Vegas while i cooked dinner because you can kind of just yodel along without actually focusing on words
4. What was the last show you attended? white lies at music hall of williamsburg last month
5. What was the greatest show youāve been to? oh jesus. thereās been a few tbh. elbow at reading 2011 was insane because i was back in the UK and a fucking rainbow erupted over the stage while they performed the birds and i totally lost it. a perfect circle at lollapalooza was the time i became someone Other. IAMX in London last year was emotional as shit cause i was coming down from a stomach flu, was with @simonjpg and @and-so-are-you and they played This Will Make You Love Again and wow. Museās War Child gig with fuckin DEAD STAR and the whole of the internet erupted asking me if i was ok which, no i certainly was not. i saw Stevie Wonder for free two summers ago which WOW. funny iām naming legends but once i saw OāBrother open for Biffy Clyro and they blew me the fuck away. iāve been a fan ever since and iām so pleased theyāre doing really well now.
Ā iāve been blessed with some incredible gigs.
6. What was the worst show youāve ever been to? yikes. ive never been to a show where the band iāve paid to see are awful but ive suffered some horrible openers, let me tell you. the worst was when i went to see brian fallon and his opener, i literally do not remember who, was so terrible i got a headache halfway through the set and had to leave the entire gig because i was in agony.Ā
7. What is the most musically involved you have ever been? uh, in what capacity? well. i play violin and am a singer, i sight read better than i sight sing though. sight reading means im kind of okay at piano although my left hand prowess is non-existent, really. but i mean, if weāre being open and honest, i actually am employed in the music industry, so thatās pretty damn involved if you ask me lol.
8. What show are you looking forward to? SO MANY. ive got some huge festivals this year - Govās Ball, Glastonbury, and Lollapalooza (supposing i get tix to the latter). elbow in november, New Power Generation at the start of April. who knows what else will get announced - hoping for some official Franz Ferdinand dates (besides their govās ball set) or an APC tour.Ā
9. What is your favorite band shirt? i have this v-neck black shirt from when i saw The Cure last year. the only size they had was xxl and i got it just because im compelled to get shirts at every gig i attend. its honestly the most comfortable shirt i own and i use it as pajamas.Ā
10. What musician would you like to hang out with for a day? honestly, id love to spend a day with Dan Smith from Bastille. im not even like super, duper heavy into the band (i love them but not how i love many others) i just want to get some sandwiches and talk about movies with him. weād have so much to discuss. probably would also love to hang with lorde and osmose some of her glamour.Ā
11. Who is one musician or group you wish would make a comeback? like...from the dead? bowie or prince, full stop. come back and make a new album, Fair To Midland. such a specific, identifiable sound - no one is filling their space now theyāre gone.Ā
12. Who is one band/ artist youāve never seen live but always wanted to? BOWIE AND PRINCE. im haunted by the time Prince came to NYC when i was in college and i was too fucking poor to see him. rammstein have decided to play an NYC date for the first time in fucking years and i just so happen to be at glastonbury when theyāre here (i am bitter). TOOL is on this list but WILL BE REMOVED IN JUNE, CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE. also, recently lady gaga but specifically during her fame monster years. she came round when i was in college and my housemates went - regret it because she seems like an amazing performer.Ā
13. Flawless albums? shit. wow. ok. ive got many. Radiohead - In Rainbows, Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, Prince - Purple Rain, NIN - Year Zero, Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas, White Lies - Ritual (i swear to god, you have no fucking idea how far ahead of its time this album was- itās six years old and it sounds like it was produced yesterday), Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go, elbow - the seldom seen kid, Ghinzu - Blow, and Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain - to name a few. i find when you listen to a lot of music, you wind up discovering how much art is really out there which is probably why my pretentious ass has a longer list than most idk

15. Who have you seen the most live?Ā Muse
16. What is your favorite movie soundtrack? I have three really. The Fountain, A Single Man, and Pride & Prejudice. Also, not films but Braid, Bastion, and Transistor are some of the best video game soundtracks. I canāt really go a month without listening to them.Ā
17. What was your last musical āphaseā before you wisened up?Ā i turned myĀ āphaseā into a career, i think weāre shit outta luck on theĀ āwisened upā front.Ā
18. What is your āguilty pleasureā that you hate to admit liking?Ā i love the shit out of K-Pop. itās been like a 7 year quiet thing in the back of my mind, but if you want to learn some SHINee/EXO/f(x) moves, i got you!
i forgot im supposed to tag people omg uh ok @zombeesknees because she is my queen and i want to know what sheās into; has @simonjpg done this yet? idk, do this if you want!

To each his own. I mean personally I love chicken too much? Lmao, but like if youāre an adult & you wanna do that feel free.

96.Ā What is the meaning of life?
Show people that God lovesĀ āem no matter whatĀ āthe churchā orĀ āreligionā or any one really tells them, like, God loves you & he wants you in his life. Itās really simple. That & like, just trying to make the world better you know? I am a cheese ball but Iām dead serious, I think all of us have a unique way of going through life and theĀ āmeaningā of life may be slightly different for each of us but the true meaning of it all is to just show people that despite all of the horrible things in the world that there is good & the good is God and that like, we are not required to be perfect or to fit some kind of mold to be loved or accepted by God. I donāt know Iām just mush and I want everyone to know that God loves them no matter what other people say. That and make a damn good book at some point.
