For Surely Someday...

oh HELL, i can’t believe it took me this long to realize.

when you hug asriel after his fight, it’s not asriel saying he doesn’t want to let go, otherwise it would have his talksprite next to it. It’s probably not frisk either; they don’t say anything directly, not even when they’re telling asriel their name earlier in that scene.

it’s got the narrator’s star next to it, so it’s the narrator saying it.

that’s chara hugging their brother vicariously through frisk for the last time, saying that they don’t want to let him go.

the whole “chara’s a demon child” thing is personally really boring to me because the truth is way more complex: just like the Underground as a whole, the way you play the game profoundly changes chara, and the way they think about the world.

it’s just way more obvious in the No Mercy route because they literally have to show up in person and get you to Stop.

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

Earth is effing amazing!

isnerdy

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

bunjywunjy

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

Our Earth is, indeed beautiful.

y’all come look at my boy

I commissioned @iwannabeadino to draw me Apollo in wedge sandals and “a bitchin’ jacket” being my exact words, with full creative liberty given as to exactly what that meant, and look what I got! I love it! the red! the ripped jeans! the good good short boy in wedges! I actually specifically asked for his bangs to fall forward which is why they’re like that, he looks a lot more relaxed this way

anyway time for me to cry about this all day. god it’s so good.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
