Hello hello everyone!! Long time no see :) I've had this frans in my head for YEARS...I started the character design sheet last year (or was it two years ago?) but recently decided to get off my ass and finish it! So here's a product of hard, August work!
I'm kinda sad to see so many of my frans peers gone, but I hope they're doing well! While I probably won't be some huge online presence going forwards, I'm still excited to support the new gen while I can!
ANYWAYS!! This is my interpretation of HT frans! (og creator @/horrortalecomic) that takes place around a decade after Frisk's escape from the underground. Their life kinda goes downhill fast though, as the combined survivor's guilt, insane trauma after battling the horror known as Omega Flowey, and the sheer lack of a support system just kinda destroys them in that period of time. I won't dwell too much on that time period, though! After moving away from the og Mt. Ebbot city, Frisk gets their fresh start, regularly going to therapy, taking their PTSD meds, managing a pretty popular bookshop downtown, and living with their super supportive roomates!
...And then the monsters are freed, which does throw Frisk into a whirlwind, but after a year or two they feel pretty safe. No monsters seemed to have moved to their city (especially since the monster population is significantly smaller than it was before), so everything would be okay. Until that fateful day...
here they are! fyi frisk's skin, eye and hair colour (except for the blonde streaks) apply to all my frisks now!
I'll add some info here i couldn't fit in the tags!
-> They have a fun coworker dynamic where Frisk does NOT know he doesn't remember them so they're constantly walking on eggshells around him.
-> Frisk: Oh god he's after me he followed me for revenge but I deserve it oh god he's so mad at me
-> Sans: wow my manager is so kind and pretty and fun :)
-> Also sans is going to therapy, specifically to treat his memory problems,, so we don't know how long his positive view of Frisk will last...
#undertale#frans#frisk x sans#horrortale#my art#undertale au#HTyabadoo#sans#frisk#also yeah all of my frisk's are enby#they don't care much ab pronouns tho!#also they are all thai now <3#i wanted to give frisk good style but they're kinda adam sandler core :( sorry guys#dw they can still dress up nice dw!#also YES they have a skeleton tattoo on their right hand#they also constantly wear the locket they got from the underground under their shirt#also because this is MY horrortale AU i decree that Omega Flowey found a way to bring back Asgore's soul with his super cool powers#And Frisk used his soul (as well as the other human souls i suppose) to cross the barrier#weird side effect! now frisk has kind of a part of asgore in their soul#and can kinda see him sometimes#he's kinda their dad atp#will elaborate further maybe#sans is just kinda sans but he's a bit more quiet#still likes to make jokes#but he's a bit overwhelmed with living on the surface#so he's not like murderous#nor is he extremely sad#he's just pretty tired#also he hides his cracked skull with hats#while he's trying to find some sciency job and figuring out qualifications he applies to this bookstore

Reflections of the Forgotten Land
Happy Birthday to Kirby and the Forgotten Land!!!
I owe this game a lot of gratitude. It revived my lifelong love of the Kirby series, inspired me to take on my biggest project ever and return to Tumblr to find an extremely lovely and kind community.
I wanted to make a little something to celebrate FL but couldn’t get too intricate since the anniversary of the Roleswap is coming up on April 12th and I’m working on something for that!!
As a reflection of its source material, the Forgotten Land Roleswap is my tribute to this increíble game. It’s been a pleasure reimagining the story and I’m more than excited to share it to the end!! Thank you!!
#click the readmore for the right side up images!!#hope the reflection effect kinda works hehe#it’s a little late but I hope you can forgive me for that :)#thank you forgotten land!#and thank you everyone who reads the comic!!#Kirby series#Kirby and the forgotten land#forgotten land roleswap#Kirby#king dedede#meta knight#bandana waddle dee#Elfilin#Elfilis#Clawroline#Leongar#sillydillo#gorimondo#art

“Red team was so selfish looking past the cursed team like that” listen man they were thinking about it often, and had evidence they were cursed too. They were convinced they were cursed too. Bad (with Pierre’s help I’ll be honest) singlehandedly destroyed any sort of civil relations and good faith between the two teams and this shot Blue in the foot when they tried to make the case about them being cursed last minute, about trying to rig it in the cursed teams favor.
There was never a cursed team in the first place, it was all a tactic to build paranoia and that feeling of betrayal and to get them to tear eachother a part. And it worked super well! At the end, neither would listen to the other about their evidence, not with an honest open ear, not with the willingness to think the other team could be cursed. It’s not a case of ‘Red just refused to listen because they wanted to win more than they cared’ they thought they were cursed too - if they were selfish, then so were Blue in the same way.
Every time Red had tried to talk first early on, it was met with extreme violence - and with Bad consistently proving he’ll play dirty to win, they didn’t trust Blue enough to listen to them in the later game. Maybe they should have listened then. Maybe Blue have listened earlier. The game worked as intended to set them against eachother.
#link is to another post I made back when they were debating about the cursed teams in purgatory and why red couldn’t trust blue and blue#couldn’t believe red. they were both stuck#and bless Tubbo he tried. he did try. but he was just as convinced he was right as Phil at the end. it was about convincing one another#more than it was about coming together and piecing together the evidence. yknow what I mean? they all cared about it but because of tension#and they also could not trust blue. which sucks because that’s hardly Tubbo’s fault but yknow#I dunno. it’s not simple like that. it’s not a case of red blowing it off being selfish not caring. they also thought they were cursed#AGAIN I’ll say it again bad burning bridges fucked a lot of them over for when diplomacy had to win because there could not be benefit of#the doubt or good faith or any sort of trust#it’s not just cut and dry red wanted to win more or blue wanted to win more. it was complicated and had way more factors#red thought they were cursed too!! they had solid evidence for this too!!#and like. again it’s a case of both parties kinda suck purgatory sucked it was always going to be like that because the game worked as#intended#idk. blue should have listened to red early on. red should have listened to blue later on. they were never going to do that on either side#idk from Tina’s pov it’s understandable why she said what she said. but knowing the others pov and what actually went down that’s not what#happened at all yknow?#they’re all gonna be feeling the effects of ‘we killed and betrayed eachother for two weeks’ for a while to come#mcyt#qsmp#qsmp purgatory#z speaks

a "Lady" but like in the way a kid in a grocery store will ask their parents "who's that lady" or "why's that lady doing that" or "can we get 27 assorted cheeses like that lady"
#gnc#my flavor of gnc i feel is like. assigned gnc by being autistic. and this has the side effect of Lady is just way more Vibes than Woman#get called a woman and im like ''technically true but the vibes are kinda stiff and wonky''#but a mom tells a kid to ''say byebye to the nice lady'' and I'm like aw fuck yeah that's me#(''autistic woman'' vibes the same way as 'lady' does but just plain ''woman'' feels kinda off)#(i think cause of like societal connotations of ''dignity'' and social rules and whatnot)#(it just feels kinda like being in the same room as a bunch of Acceptably Feminine NTs and knowing that i don't fit that and never will)#me

I take back what I said before about Shouto having a hard time in this exam working with others if he was placed with anyone other than Momo, Izuku, or Iida. Because Shouto wasn't even able to work with Momo, a person he is familiar with and respects, without significant communication difficulties.
Also, it's hilarious that Shouto at this point only understands encouragement if it's by yelling
#bnha reread#bnha 63#bnha#todoroki shouto#yaoyorozu momo#the side effects of being raised by endeavor i guess#encouragement must be shouted at top volume or it doesn't count#i forgot momo had a rising chapter - i kinda wish if she was going to have one it wasn't confined to a school exam

Do u have any hcs or theories on dragons (could be dragons in general or dragon slayers ? Or both ) love to see what you come up with
I def have some ideas! This is gonna be general ideas I have but if you want ideas about specific dragons or slayers, let me know!
Not just anyone can be a dragon slayer. It's a very powerful magic type so in order to learn it you must have a crazy amount of power already
All dragons can turn into humans, but not all of them are good at it. The older dragons struggle with it, but the younger gen can do so easily. (evolution or something)
Humans are kinda like cockroaches to dragons. They keep squishing them and they keep coming back (ignoring the fact that dragons eat them. people eat bugs all the time)
Some dragons are absolutely terrified of them. Like imagine a dragon settling down to sleep, seeing a person, jumping into the air, and screaming for someone to "kill it omg ewww"
Dragons have different languages just like humans. Not human languages but something unique to their species
All the slayers that were taught by dragons speak at least one dragon language
Dragon scales are actually pretty slippery. Riding one is not as easy as you think
Not every dragon can use magic. They can still fly and are super strong but they can't like breathe fire or anything
There are dragons that live entirely underwater. The ocean dragons were untouched by Acnologia and are flourishing
Dragon slayers have extended lifespans. No one knows how long the slayers will live till because most turn into dragons before they get too old
Dragon slayer's children are born with enhanced strength and senses. It's not very noticeable but with training can give them a significant advantage
#im really into body horror so i kinda wish the dragon slayers had more freaky side effects of their magic#they could look so scary...#anyway hope you liked it!#anon :)#fairy tail#fairy tail headcanons#dragon slayers

fuck man
finding out new things about nightwing makes me go insane, rotating him in my mind at high speeds, centrifuge his ass, I want to pull him apart, see his every facet, study him like a bug. hes just so interesting to me. there's so many interesting things to his character that could be explored and delved into. things that would be cool to see. like, hes just got so many parts that could and have interacted in ways that just captivate me.
#dick grayson#nightwing#grem screams#pondering him#like this guy is on my mind for real#some things I can relate too others out of my depth but could be absolutely written well in the right hands#its probably a bit of the hyper fixation on him he just has so much to him to me ghisdfnj#he gets the "my ass hyperfixated then projected the fuck out of him#like#I am a rabid dog and I am chewing on him like a squeaky toy#there's so much intersectionality to him I want to see all of his parts impacting him in ways#I guess what intrigues me is the human parts to the super hero#like yeah yeah powers and abilities are cool but what are you as a person#how do you live#what are you struggles how have you as a person been impacted by the superheroing#like shit like that is interesting not to say I do like the super hero part I just think the two sides coming into conflict or working#together#I love action I just think seeing the impacts is neat too#idk I just feel like its cool because hers often seem so like other its kinda fun to see them combust bghisdfnj idk how to explain it weel#I dont mean slice of life either like...I guess I want repercussions and cause and effect to mean something ghirsnjef#again its weird#long ass tags btw

Feeling very violent rn so here's a very controversial opinion:
Everything after season one of Young Justice sucked.
Look, I know I'm obsessed with the show but that doesn't mean it's good, it means that I'm too deep into it at this point to get out. There are good moments within the other seasons but in general? They were not good.
I'm sorry. I understand that they wanted to be creative and have a neat narrative and deep lore and all that. And they do! The narrative and lore is extremely deep.
But the plot? The characters??
Season one was an actual functional show that balanced character development, plot and dialogue with world building, lore and messaging.
The other seasons do not do that.
Season two bounced back and forth between like 16 characters. We got some development for some characters but even that was minimal compared to the character development in S1. And this isn't me complaining that the og group wasn't in S2 enough. That's not my issue. I would've loved to focus on a new group and I think that Jaime, Bart, Ed and Gar would've been super cool to focus on. I loved what character development they did have and I craved more.
But the problem? The problem is when you have 16 fucking characters that you are trying to develop and shove into a coherent plot and have actual meaningful scenes. There just wasn't enough focus on S2. Imo, S2 was meh because the characters got left by the wayside. The plot, dialogue, world building, lore and messaging was fine, there just seemed to be a lack of heart/warmth in the show because of the characters. It's hard to get invested.
Then holy shit. S3 introduced more characters. And the plot got more contrived and 'big picture' to the point that it started to abstract. It felt like nothing mattered. There were no stakes, you were just watching things happen. There was 50 fucking things happening an episode and 80% of it was lore/world building. It felt like I was studying for a fictional history exam.
I'm pretty sure the main character in S3 was earth 16. Just the entire universe. Because goddamn. We checked in on almost every living being and EVERYTHING was a plot point. Most of it wasn't even relevant to anything happening in the season. Man it was.... it was bad.
And at that point it just wasn't enjoyable at all to watch. I probably should've stopped watching but at that point the sunk cost fallacy had already kicked in. I knew it could be good. Maybe it could be good again. And people were constantly praising it as cinematic genius so I was like 'okay well maybe I'm missing the point? Maybe you aren't supposed to enjoy shows? Maybe this is fine?'
But season four broke me.
The creators heard that people were frustrated by the lack of character focus and the episodes following 72 characters and the episodes switching between 50 different subplots every episode and their solution? Their solution was to take allllllll the different unconnected plots and, instead of evenly spreading them throughout the season, jam them all into 'arcs'. So you had a bunch of mini seasons consisting of 3-5 episodes dedicated to a cast of ~5-8 characters (some of them new). And each of these episodes had unconnected a plots, b plots and c plots.
THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION
Holy shit that is not a solution.
Not to mention the overarching plot of the season, in which we had no fucking clue what was happening until the final episodes where everything became a speedrun to wrap everything up. We literally had no idea what the main plot was until it was ending.
Good god it was bad. It's bad writing!
I know people liked it and good for them. You should like what you like and you don't have to justify it. But for me it was insanity. I'm sorry I actually don't want a season long subplot where Beast Boy is depressed and sleeps all day. I would be cool with it if it had anything to do with the larger story but, surprisingly, spending five minutes watching Beast Boy sleep every episode didn't make for compelling storytelling.
I'm still not over how we didn't even know who the main villain was until the end of the season. And then all of a sudden he does a villain monologue to tell everyone his evil plan and his motives. Super cool actually. I love it when I have no idea what the stakes are for the majority of a show. It's incredibly good storytelling when you leave the audience in the dark about a major player in the plot for all of the plot. And then doing an info dump evil monologue in the final episodes to rush through the explanation??? Fucking fantastic and not a sign of terrible pacing at all.
I'm just so frustrated. The show isn't about being a show anymore. The show is an entire cinematic universe shoved into 20 something episodes. It's desperate to tell every single story at once, audience, pacing and good writing be damned.
I'm so tired of the constant praising of Greg. His whole 'i don't write endings because life doesn't have endings' and 'i don't write cliffhangers, I just leave things open ended' thing is pretentious bullshit. I'm tired of pretending it's not. A good story has an ending. Stories are not life! Some of the best shows I've ever watched had planned endings. And oh my god. The cliffhanger thing... that's just semantics my guy. Greg you write cliffhangers. You can insist they aren't but I'm going to call a spade a spade.
It's also.... I'm fine with explaining things, in fact I love it because it's an excuse to talk about the stuff I love, and I have a fairly decent knowledge of comic book lore. So, I could not only understand what was happening in the show but I was also super enthusiastic about explaining it to people. But hey Greg? Hey buddy? If 90% of your audience doesn't know what the fuck is going on and needs to be familiar with super specific obscure comic characters from the 70's then you might have a problem.
I think I realized halfway through s4 that the most enjoyment I got from an episode was when an obscure comic character would cameo in it. But then I realized that a) they generally weren't explained at all and b) 50% of the time they weren't just hanging out in the background and they were vital to the plot. So to understand who the fuck they were and what the fuck was happening you had to be familiar with... well all of DC comics actually.
Anyway this rant is getting long and unhinged and I don't think there's a point so I'm going to cut myself off even though I have so much more to say on the topic. I think my general point is just that I didn't enjoy watching the later seasons and it's chill if you did and we should all respect each other's opinions ✌️
#rant#oh also the messaging sucked#the messages itself were fine. like 'you should go to therapy if you are depressed' and 'respect people's religions' and#'figuring out your gender/sexual identity is chill af'#those are great messages. the content is great and i don't disagree#BUT HOLY FUCK#yo Zatara ranting about his religion to Fate for 15 minutes is not how you get a message across#messages are supposed to be like themes and subtle points of the narrative#it's not supposed to be a fucking psa where the characters just talk for half the episode and say the message verbatim to the audience#itd be like if in season one M'gann stood up and spent ten minutes talking about the damaging psychological effects of body image issues#and everyone else just sat there and nothing happened and M'gann just kinda spoke about it#or if Artemis was just like 'im going to do a presentation on why child abuse is bad'#its just. thats not. thats not how messages in a plot work#but they didn't develop the characters enough. so instead of s1 where the messages were blatantly obvious#we just had side character zatara who we know nothing about talk about religion like he was doing a PSA for kindergartners#because we don't know his character and he had zero focus so that was literally the only way to get the message across#and im sorry but that's bad writing. if you are sacrificing character plot and narrative for a message then maybe scrap the message#or you know actually have a developed character do the message. like write the message through a developed character so it doesn't#need to be spoonfed to the audience like we're five year olds learning different shapes from a teacher

Ok there are a lot of things I don't understand about Wilbur and Dream's interactions, but one of the main things that I don't quite get is the whole breaking into the prison and burning the disks with Tommy , like ok why was Wilbur so convinced that by threatening to kill himself he was gonna make Dream do what ever he wants ( burn the disks)
And well we can say that Dream was just agreeing to whatever the hell the wanted because he wanted them out of his living room ( and because he didn't need the disks) but like ,Wilbur didn't know that, what made him so sure that Dream wanted him alive especially after the prison break ( Dream didn't need his help anymore) to the point that he thought he could use it ( his life ) as leverage
Did Dream want to keep Wilbur alive, if so, then why? I don't know man, seems like the only person that would be losing in this situation is Wilbur himself.
I got more questions but like this is what confuses me the most. Idk just don't get it
Honestly I'm going to assume you know about these reddit posts, but while like I think that people should be able to draw their own conclusions to a text without strictly subscribing to what is said by the authors, like, cc!Dream and cc!Wilbur did give explanations behind what happened in this stream that I think are worth checking out: x x
A lot of people perceived cc!Wilbur's comment specifically as speaking for c!Dream in a way that was uninformed and therefore dismissed the post, which I think is...unwise? Like, cc!Wilbur literally says that he's posting from the perspective of his character's thought process, not an out of character word of god on what c!Dream actually values and believes. Further, he literally clarifies that his character isn't entirely correct and is an unreliable narrator.
But looking between the posts and looking at c!Dream's behavior, I mean. What we can say, rather definitively, that c!Wilbur was right about is that c!Dream didn't want to lose that feeling that he had leverage over c!Wilbur. Like, he's pretty damn desperate not to lose it, actually. c!Wilbur "believes that Dream has nothing if not himself"--a perspective that obviously leaves out c!Punz, considering c!Dream's secrecy in terms of this one particular ally, but is otherwise I mean. Like. Correct? cc!Dream emphasizes repeatedly that c!Dream doesn't want to lose "that feeling of control over Wilbur," that c!Dream's power over c!Wilbur is "just in his head," that he's holding onto it even though "it's seemingly gone after the exile reveal." The rest of the server's story only throws this in sharper relief--c!Wilbur literally fucking leaves the whole damn server and c!Dream is cowering in the prison worrying about him A MONTH LATER.
When c!Wilbur makes the assessment that c!Dream is going to hold onto the perceived leverage he has over c!Wilbur tightly, EVEN WHEN SAID LEVERAGE DOESN'T EXIST, to the point of doing almost everything c!Wilbur tells him to? He's 100% right. c!Dream doesn't want to break the illusion. When cc!Dream gives the two examples of what c!Dream wouldn't do, he mentions that c!Dream wouldn't "kill himself" or "give over the revive book," which, I mean. Is literally just saying the same thing twice. Which, again, just goes to show how far c!Dream is willing to go in order to keep holding onto a feeling of control, that--once again! Is emphasized by both ccs AND by the literal text (as we can see that c!Dream at no point is able to actually use the "leverage" he has over c!Wilbur from reviving him to do LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL) as not existing in any meaningful manner. This isn't a case of c!Wilbur having an inflated sense of self-importance or a case of him pushing his way into this conflict recklessly w/ a delusional belief that his pitch will work. This is a case of c!Wilbur (as is like, usually the case with him and c!Dream) reading c!Dream like an open book and getting exactly what he fucking wants by force, literally shouting down at c!Tommy and c!Dream until they both comply.
(And it's worth pointing out that like. This whole thing does have a visible toll on c!Dream. He's extra jumpy and defensive in the stream on the same day after Inconsolable Differences, says he went for a stroll outside the prison (something he basically Doesn't Do after he gets the prison back in Daedalus) explicitly to "keep his mind wandering," he bristles at the perception that he's being accused of a terrorist--the exact wording that c!Wilbur uses against him when he makes him write the book in the prison. c!Dream's behavior, while not yet pushed to the point where he starts lashing out in self-defense, was pretty obviously off as soon as c!Wilbur started making demands--he grows quieter, more still, visibly less comfortable--honestly, not at all unsimilar to certain behaviors that we saw in the prison arc.)
And I mean. At the end of the day. Why wouldn't c!Dream want some reason to believe that c!Wilbur would work with him? Why wouldn't he want some kind of leverage? The guy is pretty obviously worried about him, if not outright scared of him. He was ranking c!Wilbur with the likes of c!Sam and c!Quackity when he mentions him in the Finale, for god's sake. c!Wilbur was the person that first called him the tyrant that c!Dream ends up believing he has always been. c!Wilbur was the originator of L'manburg, which c!Dream blames for the literal loss of his home. c!Wilbur is like. Extremely charismatic, extremely good at convincing people that he's well-meaning, that what he's saying is right, that this-person-is-the-enemy and you-want-to-stand-for-freedom and that so-and-so is a cause worth dying for, isn't it. c!Dream was The-Man-That-L'manburg-Opposed from the minute that c!Wilbur decided so and this narrative would follow him literally for the rest of his life.
So yeah c!Dream wanted to keep c!Wilbur alive out of the delusional belief that doing so would mean he has leverage over him. Why he wants that leverage (even though he never uses it and the fact that it literally doesn't exist), I mean.
#my asks !!#c!dreamisms#like id say that if there's anywhere c!wilbur makes an error in judgement here#it's prooooobably in assuming that c!dream still has his eyes set on fucking with c!Tommy for the sake of his goals#because honestly i've always read the whole staged finale false ending of it all and giving him the discs as just.#kinda avoiding the kid that's made himself a constant thorn in his side over those two vinyls since forever#but then again maybe the main reason why we didn't see that much post-prison c!discduo#was because c!dream was literally just too busy holing himself up in the prison obviously unwell scrawling over the walls unintelligbly#but in assuming that c!dream will prioritize keeping him alive like. he was spot on. he was absolutely 100% accurate#dream would prioritize everything except like basically his own literal life to keep a feeling of control over wilbur#that was completely unbased in reality#the main question i had at the time was whether or not c!wilbur actually believed that c!Dream had that power over him or not#and after rereading the reddit post a few times and just looking at the end of the server i feel like. it's pretty fair to say#that like. he didn't. c!wilbur was kinda aware that c!Dream's feeling of power was just a feeling imo#and that these false concessions of agency to c!Dream were the most effective way to get him to do what c!Wilbur wanted#[stares at my vassal demons]#anyway
