“I washed ashore in the Golden Land” is the title.
It’s a short chapter, about 11 pages without much text.
Essentially, it takes place in Bard’s POV while he’s presumably unconscious and dying, maybe even when he’s on the operating table.
Bard opens his eyes to the prairie, and is hit in the head. When he turns to see who or what hit him, he’s shocked to see Jr. He also sees his house and his wife, who welcomes him home.
Bard is filled with happiness; he gets a flash of his time in the manor and his clothes and appearance change from his younger, farmer self to his older, chef self, with a whisk in one hand a land a frying pan in the other.
He tells Joana proudly how he can cook a few things now, including Sunny-side up eggs. Jr loves eggs, he says, so Bard replies that he’ll make him as many as he wants!
Then Sebastian suddenly appears, standing between Bard and his old life.
In his characteristic condescending way, he chides Bard. Does he really want to serve his family his food, when he can’t even get eggs right? 80% of the time he burns them, even if they’re scrambled.
The ground beneath Bard crumbles, and faceless people grab his leg, trying to pull him away from his family— Lau, Ada, and the two men Bard had spoken to at the sanatorium—
Sebastian says he believes Bard needs more training.
And kicks him into the abyss.
The chapter ends with Bard flailing as he falls into the darkness.

hey guys, kotoko professional here! What the fuck. this gave me a headache but im gonna try my best to. analyse whatever this is.
i assume she means she's going to continue trying to brute force it- she does not believe there's an evil that's impossible to not be bested by strength. shes stupid. as all fuck. shes going to try and MAKE IT so it CAN be "bested" by strength. she will do anything. she does not know how else to beat evil besides what she's already internalised (being strong).
this answers very confusing though! which is. interesting for kotoko. her answers are usually clear to the point even if shes avoiding the question. why are the pronouns so vague. why does she keep using "it" instead of specifying evil or strength. why does her manner of speaking here seem more simplistic than usual. hey girl are you avoiding or speaking around something.
the vague pronouns could also mean that she's going to force the strength to overcome the evil rather than making the evil able to be overcome. which. if you consider how hard she neglects self-care in order to be "strong" yeah that'd also make a lot of sense either way- that might be why it's so vague. she thinks if she just keeps forcing herself to be stronger she can defeat any evil.
anyways. i hope this has helped???
tl:dr: shes going to brute-force strength into overcoming evil, or brute-force the evil into being overcome by strength. she will do anything to make this happen.
open pinterest, make a moodboard out of the first nine pictures that show up, and tag ppl

I just had a riveting discussion with a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist at work, whose opinions included:
Tipping is bad because 'contracts with your employer are voluntary and they can leave if they're not paid enough.' He will still tip if he thinks his wife is watching
If you're stuck inside a torture chamber with an apple you can bite every ten seconds that sends you to paradise for a year, it is illogical to bite the apple and humanity is broken for thinking so
The ending to the good place was bad because the characters weren't being logical and there was so much shit you can do with the afterlife.
The marxist labor theory of value 'isn't true' because paintings have arbitrary value
Heidegger was an idiot
Kant was an idiot
Nietzche was an idiot
He is an anarcho-capitalist
If I don't have 100% certainty for something than I can't truly say that I know something is true, and isn't it illogical that people do that?
I have to see this man every Monday from now until I quit. We work one on one.
I find something really interesting about Deltarune, and I want to talk about it.
YOU are canon to Deltarune.
Everything in real life that has ever happened is canon to Deltarune.
You are not playing as the Player, you ARE the Player. And not in an "oh, I need to imagine I'm involved in this for the game to make sense!" way, but in a literal, by the act of playing, you are the Player way.
And that's what kind of makes the game so real- When, instead of playing as a figure, you are the figure, through and through and without having to do anything, it kind of ropes you in, and brings itself out of the realm of fiction while it's at it.
Yes, the game is fiction, and yes, nothing in it is really happening, and the code is written. But when you're a part of the narrative, it becomes very easy to forget that, and so there's very few leaps in logic you need to take in order to make it feel real.
Kris is a video game character, both in reality and in canon. The game isn't fiction, it's reality. In the lore of Deltarune, Deltarune is a video game that you are playing. The exact same is true in reality.
This also leads to something many of us, including me, are guilty of- separating the Player and ourselves. Every instance of Deltarune that has ever been played has a different Player character, because it's a different person. But that gets confusing, so we refer to ourselves, and after time, them, as the Player. As time goes on, it's very easy to feel like your actions aren't your actions, but the Player's, and you're just moving the story along. Even if you haven't done Snowgrave, you can claim that the Player did snowgrave, because plenty of Players did snowgrave. But you didn't, and as such, it's not canon for your Deltarune.
We cannot characterize the Player. We cannot give them a personality seperate from our own. They are you, and you are them. Your actions are your own, and no matter what COULD happen, it doesn't until you make it. The Player is only malicious if you are malicious. The Player is sympathetic if you are sympathetic. If you don't want Kris to suffer, then the Player doesn't want Kris to suffer, and you're not a bad person. Your love is canon.
Hey you! Yeah you! You got some OCs you love?? It's time for some OC appreciation and I wanna see your OCs!!
Reply to this with one of your favorite OCs, show me a picture if you have one, and tell me a little about them! (and maybe I'll doodle some if I have the time and energy but I make no promises >.>)
I'll start!
This is Hazel! She's my main bg3 tav, a druid/bard, plays the violin, and is in a committed relationship with Astarion <3. (Yes she is my canon x oc ship, cringe is dead!) *art by me!*
