Introduced some people to Underworld Office XD

[pocket-ghostie]

Do you guys ever think about how selfish Boss is in that one ending?

Underworld office spoilers bellow c:

In the monster ending I firmly belive that Boss did not need to seal Eugene.

In that ending, Eugene kills Jack because they dont know what else to do. They wanted to help the kids, hated Jack, and felt bad for the mother (plus susan's grudge was still present in the room). It wasnt like Eugene was going to go on a killing spree, hurting anyone they saw after that. If Boss and River talked with them and calmed them down, Eugene wouldnt hurt anyone. He just wanted to help the kids, as they reminded him of his own life. (Incase you dont know, it was confirmed by Buff studios that Eugenes mom died and their dad is absent). In addition to this, when playing through that ending, before Boss seals Eugene, Eugene tries to speak and explain themself. But they are cut off by Boss.

So, why did Boss seal Eugene? Because he felt guilty. Eugene is basically like a son to Boss. So when Eugene turned into a monster, Boss felt incredibly guilty that he let this happen. So instead of helping Eugene, Boss sealed them away. I think its obvious from Charlie in Underworld, but Boss usually deals with conflict and problems by ignoring or pushing them away. So thats exactly what he did with monster Eugene. Boss would rather deal with the guilt of what he has done than actually try to fix things.

In conclusion, Boss is messed up 👍

What are your thoughts on boss, as a character?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BOSS AS A CHARACTER

SPOILERS FOR "CHARLIE IN UNDERWORLD" BELOW AS I GO ON MY TANGENT

Edit: I wrote like a whole A$$ essay under here so uh- just be warned 😭 sorry for the long answer @leahisnowlosinghersanityx ! Can I call you Leah? (Mainly a joke since your user is long haha ^^')

(I really love silly ghosts okay?)

(I'm a little rusty in the story, and I am replaying ciu recently, but I haven't gotten past the second(?) Chapter yet, so please forgive me and correct me on any mistakes I might make ^^')

OK, so. Boss to me isn't a bad guy, so to say. He has flaws and makes PLENTY of mistakes throughout the series.

In Underworld office, Eugene first meets Boss when he saves his life. At first he seems cold and distant. But my first impression of him when I was playing the game (for the first time) was that there was something deeper going on behind his defensive walls.

And as the chapters went by, it proved true for me when I saw how soft he got around the other's and Eugene. He even got angry for River's safety and Eugene (unintentionally) putting her in danger. He does care for the people of the underworld office, and he will continue to do so, even after the end of the second game.

Over the course of the first game, I became VERY fond of Boss, especially with his arcs with the others. (Like Eugene being a surrogate son to him, and the relationships between his friends)

As for the deeper parts of his character, over all, I believe that Boss is a deeply troubled character who has a deep sense of self loathing.

In the monster Eugene ending, he describes that Eugene, angry and wanting to lash out with vengeance, reminds him of himself, and tells Eugene there might be hope for him still, taking him into the team with the others, though all of them are pretty upset in ANY ending that Eugene is no longer mortal.

Boss does not see himself in a positive light. Or at least, not often. And it shows here, as well in a lot of other places too! Especially if you know where to look.

In "Charlie in underworld", we get more knowledge and insight into boss's life before he was a ghost.

(Again, I'm rusty on the lore, so please correct me if I'm wrong)

Boss, back then, didn't veiw himself in a positive way either.

When Boss's "friend" (I put friend in quotation marks because I don't think Boss considered him a friend, even if the man was trying to be his friend) was recently married. He brings up the wedding to boss, either why he didn't attend or other reasons, I can't remember.

Boss seems bitter about the fact that he himself can't seem to find a single person who would be interested in him. The man feels bad, and I don't remember much of the conversation, but I believe that Boss was bitter about this, which is why he was so closed off.

While we didn't get a true name for Boss, i believe he was reffered to as a shaman of sorts, which is also interesting.

Throughout the flashbacks, We see that for the majority of his life, if not all of it, Boss has been pressured by tradition (I think) and family, the weight of which is always on his shoulders. If I remember correctly, his family in specific protected a ancient area in which was one of the MANY gateways between the afterlife and the mortal realm.

I believe that his mother shamed and disgraced him for being unable to find anyone to marry, or to get a wife, to which I think (correct me if I'm wrong) BOSS APOLOGIZES FOR. (Which ticks me off- but it's fine)

he is tasked to protect the cave alone for the rest of his life I believe- but I also think there was more to this.

I probably missed this, but apparently (again, correct me if I'm wrong, i cant remember this well) Boss encountered a man/ghost during his time in the military (which also probably changed him) and promised that he would try his best to bring his son's spirit to rest or something.

Boss died in the cave he was protecting, and he kept protecting the area (or maybe other areas like it) even after his life was over.

After he shares his memories with Eugene and Charlie, I believe he explains himself more, which brings to light that he still blames and faults himself for everything in his life. To which, as Charlie, we have the option to call out that all of that is BS and it wasn't his fault thst so many things went wrong in his lifetime, but also calls him out on his selfish actions. Which I agree with strongly-

OKAY- now that I'm done with the boss biography, I'll actually start getting to my point. (Sorry guys)

Boss kept the ghosts of the underworld office around mostly because he was lonely. He was desperate for company and companions, and so he selfishly kept them from their own journey in the afterlife so he could continue doing his job with company. Even going so far as to essentially hold River hostage by keeping her keepsake away from her.

By no means are these actions excusable, what he did WAS terrible. But in the end, he did regret it, the entire time. He had just let his fear and anxiety control him. In fact this shows constantly.

When the others in the group constantly talk and confidently say that "he is never wrong" and "boss is always right", Boss tends to simply reply with "...". Which I interpret as his guilt, because HE KNOWS he's lying to them, and he isn't always right, but decides to say nothing.

And while River is overpowering Boss, threatening and probably planing to tear him to shreds, she scratches his neck/throat with her claws. As she does, the wounds become pure white almost immediately, which causes River to stop and hesitate. She realizes something and then warns boss that this will be a reminder for him, a penance if you will, and then moves on to the other life.

I believe that why his wounds turned white, is because boss actively believes that by letting himself be hurt and 'punished' is a good decision.

In other words, he believes that letting himself be hurt and possibly destroyed by the people he hurt, is what he deserves. He believes that he deserves pain, hurt, and perhaps even physical punishment, because of the hurt he had caused the people he cared about the most.

In the end, he is willing to try and forgive himself, to try and make things better, but he thinks it's best if he leaves Eugene and Charlie alone to continue their lives, without his influence, so he leaves. He leaves to find himself in the world, because he wasn't able to when he was alive.

And I wish nothing but the best for him.

Boss is a VERY deep and intriguing character, and he is one of my all time favorite game characters EVER.

Hes like an ACTUAL human being- not those flat idiot and single-minded/purposed characters on hallmark TV shows.

He has FLAWS. He had Strengths, weaknesses, regrets! EMOTION! As much as Boss tries to keep up his walls and hide his true feelings from others (with only a few exceptions to his friends), we can see throughout the games that this isn't the case. I think the most aware of this would be Joan, who seems to understand him a bit more than the others, and gives some wise words on how once you get to warm up to him, and he warms up to you, then you'll see that he's not as tough as he looks.

Charlie also seems more aware of this as time goes on, especially later in the game.

Boss may also see Eugene as a son-figure because he never had one. He was never able to get married and have a family. Eugene grows on him very quickly, and it shows through his actions.

Boss is just a very big softy, a confused, hurt, possibly scared, afraid to be alone, and troubled softy.

And i love him, and want nothing but the best for him in his journey.

I know this will likely never happen, but I would love to see more of him in the story of the Underworld office series <:].

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 😭

"do not look away" bro trust me I have eyes only for you I physically cannot look away

NOW YOU'RE JUST AN ANGEL THAT I USED TO KNOW

Hi! First of all, I love your blog so much, you do a wonderful job here! There's a line in season two that confuses me a little - when Nina is asking Crowley whether he and Aziraphale are together, he ends his little speech about Aziraphale's purity with something along the lines of "he's just an angel, I know." Why does he say "I know" there?

Hiya! :) Thank youuu <3. Crowley says "He's just an angel I know." (there was an incorrect comma before the subtitles were fixed :))

[kitkat-the-muffin]

"Monster of the Underworld Office" is a much funnier title when abbreviated to "MUWO"

Yeah yeah you lost your humanity after murdering a man and now consider yourself an irredeemable monster who can only hope to atone for your sins by working at an office for the regulation of ghosts and other afterlife beings and also you are 12 years old but who cares your name is Muwo now

[pocket-ghostie]

More alternate timeline shenanigans <3

I made a comic about how they decided nicknames!

This actually took me forever to finish because I lost motivation to do it halfway through sketching. I tried to just power through it so I could finish it, but that was a very bad idea. So I finally got back to it today and finished <3

Slight blog update:

Although it is summer, I have quite a lot to do since I have some important exams next year and need to work on my portfolio. Due to this, I may not post many full drawings.

HOWEVER. I'll make memes like this in the meantime cause they're fun :}

As for the video essay: I've been working on the script and will hopefully be able to start writing the script for CIU by the start of next year. I'm not sure if I'll make the two games into one big video, or give each one it's own, so let me know what you think!
