I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”
Lent my copy of Sunrise on the Reaping to a friend of mine and I guess I did a good job of hyping it up cuz they finished it in one day.
too many stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for pretending to be something you aren't and losing yourself in the process. not enough stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for choosing to openly embrace yourself even if it's strange to other people
This is exactly what I meant earlier, btw.
i don't know who else knows this but for fellow Undertale players, if you play the Pacifist Route first and then the Genocide Route like I did, but you still want everyone to have a happy ending, here's what you do. (see under the cut)
when you're done with your Pacifist Route, copy your game files into a separate folder. they'll be used later.
when you're done with the Genocide Route, there will be a new file in there. right click on that file and go into properties. there should be a tab that lets you choose whether or not your computer "reads" that file. make sure that's disabled.
once you're sure the computer is not reading the corrupted file (you can tell by reopening the game if you still see Chara or not), delete your save files and replace them with the Pacifist Route files you saved earlier. once your reopen the game, Flowey should show up again asking what you're doing there since everyone already got their happy ending.
are we above consequences? no, but the happy little pixelated characters don't deserve to suffer from our hubris. (which i mean the bad route could've just been avoided but I needed to beat Sans at least once.)
Happy playing!

Have you considered that this is how your presence feels?
why the hell am I getting so much Phineas and Ferb content on my dash
"...from the scientific standpoint, we cannot say that magick is any more or less than a form of applied psychology...which helps us to attain a greater level of understanding and control over our individuality. It's good for you for many of the same reasons that meditation, yoga, mindfulness, etc. is good for you, it's just a more elaborate application of similar principles."

I get this feeling when I draw something cool and then I have to color it in
It’s too bad you guys can’t see the story I’m making in my head right now. The vibes are pretty epic. Unfortunately I think if I write it down then it would actually turn out to be pretty lame
