The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.
this would also be able to tie in with the guessable age of papyrus (his username on his computer being CoolSkeleton95- possibly alluding to his birth(?) year in the 2X95 BEFORE frisks falling) as well as napstablook's being Napstablook22 being date of birth OR death very much prior to frisk's falling, yet they don't seem to clue on about frisk being human either.
Do you have a timeline for when you believe the humans fell underground (including Chara + Frisk)?
Well not necessarily anything specific. just a few things that mark some VERY wide margings for what i have in mind
Chara fell in 201X, as per the calendar with the circled date.
This was after the Dreemurrs (and thus monsterkind in tow) already left Home to explore the rest of the mountain and settled in New Home. This is deduced by the wall writings in Waterfall, which bemoan the underground's inaccessibility, saying there's no way a human could ever make its way down there.
So New Home already existed (or was soon going to be founded, if the plaques were written while the monsters were still exploring) before any human had fallen into the Underground at all.
However! The childhood room in Home is referred to as Asriel's room in both the game files and in the art book (the screenshot is from the Home segment of the book)
Which would mean Asriel was born close enough in time to the monsters' banishment to be alive when they migrated further into the caverns (and to already have personal interests, like astronomy), and that he was likely snooping around his previous home in the RUINs by chance when he found Chara.
I think Chara spent a LOT of time with the Dreemurrs... but less so chronologically. They likely had reset powers like all humans who fall into the Underground as a consequence of their high DT (from the Undertale Legends of Localization book):
(I actually think this was the intended implication with their inappropriately light approach to death and pain, ie: laughing in that one videotape about making Asgore sick), so I like to think that, while they obviously stuck around for a long time, they techincally were only with the Dreemurrs for 1, maybe 2 linear years. Which would explain why they seem... hesitant to call them their child/sibling. From their perspective, it was too soon for those words at the time. Either that or Chara was uncomfortable with familiar terms for whatever reason. I tend to ping-pong between the two.
Chara dies and so does Asriel -> Asgore cringe comp -> Toriel bails.... And then bam, the next humans start falling down.
l think the entire affair took centuries in total. Surely a lot of time, enough for most commonplace monsters to have no idea what a human looks like
At LEAST one century, that is, but that is the barest minimum. There's this one line in the date with Sans at MTT resort when he's talking about his first meeting with Toriel:
Now I'm not saying Sans is aware of what's going on or that this makes incanon sense, but knowing UT's propensity for tragically poetic irony, this feels like one of those occasions.
I in my personal chronology, the humans fell either 1 or 2 per century, putting Toriel's exile between 300 and 600 years long.
The order? uhhhhh. dw about it
Thus, Frisk falls down in 2X15. Monsters are freed, everyone is happy. Yay yayay ^_^ yippee. The End.
my metal gear delta discourse predictions are
-the boss and snake oedpius discourse
- ocelot is minor coded, or basically a child because hes 19/20
- weird tiktok edits pitting ocelot and eva or ocelot and kaz against eachother
-date with paz resurgence/ big boss gets cancelled
- weird joking thirst traps about The End
- bbkaz abuse discourse, especially if its used to prop up another ship(ex: if you like bb and kaz your actually a proshipper so you need to stan xyz)
- nsfw accounts on twitter become obsessed with raikov/volgin
- the ends existence brings back quiets outfit discourse
- twitter gooners make the boss look like a 20 year old woman with soft features and everyone gets mad about it
-big boss is minor coded because he doesnt pick up on social cues
- Eva/Para-Medic becomes popular( PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)
- drawing ocelot as trans without top surgery is "problematic"
- is metal gear good queer rep discourse
-people star drawing the boss and ocelot with tiny little noses en masse and it distresses me specifically (also cheekbone erasure)
finally got my hands on that lorem ipsum toothbrush
by the time I figured out how to draw a genuine one I already had this
"I quit a long time ago."
"Maybe it's time to start again?"
PLS send requests in I need ideas. metal gear tumblr I beg
