#y'all need to wake up

[goopygoopsta]

Finally... Another person who has seen the vision of Martlet and Red. These two are genuinely amazing regardless of how small the interactions they had in-game were. In fact, I am now going to use this incredible art as an excuse to go on a rant about them and how much Martlet and Red being friends adds to Red's character as a whole.

In Undertale Red/UnREDtale, a part of Red's character is that she is afraid of meeting and befriending a human. No human has made it past Asgore so she fears that if she ever made friends with one, she would inevitably have to see as they met the same fate as all the other humans.

While you can simply chalk this up, in part, to her implied backstory of losing people important to her—Red saying she "didn't want to lose anyone else" as well as Undyne mentioning the Guard is the only family she has—this explanation doesn't really explain why she became so afraid of specifically losing a HUMAN friend. Not fellow monsters, a human. You know, the species the Underground calls their enemy and key to their freedom.

And while, yes, Red says she heard the Canine Unit talking about you, how they all considered you a friend, and how it scared her, the way she said this always, at least to me, sounded more like she was terrified of a fear she already had prior to Frisk/The Player showing up in the Underground coming true rather than her just suddenly gaining this fear the moment you showed up.

Hell, Undyne literally posted Red somewhere she was certain a human would NEVER reach and gave Red direct orders to not confront any humans unless absolutely necessary, just collect their SOUL if they are defeated by someone else. Undyne has absolutely been aware of this fear since Red joined the Guard, even mentioning how she felt it was silly during the phone call at the end of the Pacifist scenario of the fight.

This isn't some new development, Red has been terrified of losing a human friend for quite some time. There is a big difference between a monster being scared of losing friends who are fellow monsters and being scared of losing a human friend.

And the moment you add Undertale Yellow into the equation, you suddenly gain a lot of context that was never there before.

In Undertale Yellow, Martlet offered to show Red the ropes of being a Royal Guard during their conversation at Oasis Valley, and this meetup would've taken place after the Pacifist Ending where Clover has given up their SOUL, or has it taken by Asgore if we're talking Flawed Pacifist, since they planned to meet up next week.

So you have Red, who by the time the events of Undertale are taking place is terrified of losing a human friend, meeting up with Martlet, who is probably still processing her grief over Clover's death, which means that Red is going to directly witness how heartbroken Martlet is over her human friend's death.

This event likely stuck with Red afterwards and when she became part of the very same guard that Martlet was a part of and then quit after what happened to Clover, it makes sense Red would become afraid of going through the same thing Martlet did.

Red isn't afraid of losing a human friend purely because she's doesn't want to lose more people she cares about (though it is a part of it), she is afraid of losing a human friend because she has seen the grief and pain tied to that scenario first-hand and wants to avoid going through the same.

Now sure, a lot of this wasn't planned by Taxiderby or the Undertale Yellow devs since Red is just supposed to be a cameo character in the game, it's all just a big coincidence, but my god does it tie in so perfectly well.

I absolutely love Martlet and Red and I wish more people talked about the dynamic these two have.

SHIN SOUKOKU – BUNGOU STRAY DOGS SEASON 5

[joyful-patatas]

I've been reading a lot of oi and regression manhwas where the fl ends up in the body of someone and starts treating the child like their own. Some of my favorites and hugely recommend are: The Villainess Flips The Script, The Wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmom, and My In-Laws Are Obsessed With Me.

I'm also OBSESSED with Twisted Wonderlad and was thinking of doing one for Riddle's mom where an oc gets isekaied into her body and ends up maybe a couple months before the main story of Riddle's second year with the relationship really tense. Isekaied OC was a therapist that specialized in working with traumatized teens and can see signs of a dysfunctional home based on the reaction of Riddle's father and how curt and proper Riddle is on the phone. While learning more about Riddle by pretending to have amnesia, she realizes that he really focuses so much on rules to a concerning degree and sort of tries to gently broach the idea of relaxing on rules and strictness, but that quickly backfires with Riddle thinking this is some kind of trick to get him to slip and he ends up even more guarded around his "mother". Or maybe MC comes the exact same time as Yuu does and only really meets Riddle during the winter break.

I was also thinking about making the OC someone who desperately wanted children but couldn't. Whether from infertility, awful circumstantial factors like finances and career, or all of the above. Looking like the woman who abused Riddle is dreadful but also feels manipulative to pretend to be his real mother.

I was also thinking of maybe the OC being Yuu's foster parent and they both get isekaied to Twisted Wonderland but in different ways.

Maybe I'll also take inspiration with "This Maid is Forming a Union" on webtoon (It’s soo good I promise you!! Both the worldbuilding and the characters and the callout of terrible story delivery of manhwas that completely altered the way I read the genre!!).

I am also taking inspiration on @anakin-walker's series, "My Dearest Mother" where it's the same isekai concept, but they're there when the OB!Boys are little children. Definitely go check it out!

I'll try developing the idea a bit more and post the chapters once I have something coherent lol

Wahoo :}

[one-vivid-judgment]

Okay but in MattMick's case, who's the one who goes home after their first kiss and immediately starts being all "Okay, so we kissed, no big deal. But does he want something serious with me, or was it a spur of the moment thing?" and who's going "LET'S FUCKING GOOOO" internally the whole time, I need to know for science.

[seokmattchuus]

So uh,
