I want Toby Fox three years after the last chapter to make a game where it's just the Fun Gang going on a road trip to the east coast to go fishing. They raid a gas station on the way to grabs snacks for the road (and the lobsters they catch). Happy April Fool's.

Liist of my wip's! (August 2019)

Hello there! I'm Nicola! I mainly write contemporary YA stuff (mostly read that, too!), that feature all of the lgbt rep I'd like to see but don't :)

The following is a list of my current wip's, along with a quick summary of what they're about! If anything here interests you please don't hesitate to ask about it! I love talking about anything from characters to plot and it helps me build ideas when I'm talking to someone else :)

Taylor is convinced their whirlwind summer romance will be regulated to just that: the summer, because with their insanely different lifestyles, coupled with living on opposite ends of the country, and Patrick's slightly obsessed ex, theirs no way they could make it work long term, right? Right?

One More Minute: Kat signs up for a competition that wins her an hour long skype date with her celebrity crush, Harley.

Jude's widowed wife, Sarah, carrying his alleged unborn son, is the power hungry daughter of the Prime Minister, and she's determined to regain her position in the palace, whatever it takes.

Skye is convinced that a relationship with Caden is completely out of the question- until suddenly, it's not. Caden returns from music camp with the news that he's broken up with his boyfriend, and his sudden availability pushes him and Skye to testing the boundaries of their frriendship.

Who We Were: Noah Hapstall's plans to enjoy his freshman year of university take a sharp turn for the worst when his ex girlfriend reappears in his life after being gone for over a year. Melanie had previously been nothing more than the embodiment of everything Noah despised, the wounds she left cut deep and not even his current seemingly iddylic relationship could heal them. He swore he would never let her back in, but his parents' divorce and the increasing distance between him and his boyfriend, who's currently studying in another state, leaves him vulnerable to Melanie and her typical manipulation. As Noah unwittingly becomes more involved in her life, he is forced to remove his rose tinted glasses and examine the world as it really is, for all the lies, secrets, and pain it holds.

But Lina has other plans; she still hasn't fully recovered from the scars the Battle left her with, and she doesn't want to leave Earth and the sanctuary she found there.

Delta rune [Spoilers]

here are my personal ideas and thoughts regarding Delta rune and where the story might go from here given the beginning and end of chapter 1, with a little taken from the majority of the game play itself.

Note that this is late night theory posting and I’m probably not correct but this is my own interpretation and I hope some of you find it interesting!

So, a lot of people I’ve seen who’ve played it or were watching people play it (I just spent the evening watching someone stream it after I myself had played it which I recommend. People seem to think that Chara is Kris, or that Chara is taking over Kris. I don’t think that’s the case, I don’t even think these two characters are fully related but they are definitely similar.

Neither Kris nor Chara were very good people, they played mean pranks and were troublesome you may by now know why Chara was such but Kris? Kris’ meddlesome and mean nature is told through the dialogue of the holiday family and the church, people mostly like you because you’re Asgore’s/Toriel’s kid, similar to Chara. In a way even Kris and Susie are similar to one another, albeit in the beginning Kris is definitely afraid to Susie or at least to be hurt by Susie in the beginning of the game.

To explain Kris’ behavior I draw from my own personal experience as a kid, and as an adult now as well as the stories and experience I’ve had with other people with the same feelings. First off think, why would anyone want to hurt themselves to achieve the goal of throwing away their own soul? I don’t know about everyone but I grew up with the mentality of if I just wait this will all be over, eventually I will die. I dealt with a lot of death and my parents who were almost always grieving the loss of one of our family members, fighting over a failing marriage, etc. What does this do to a person’s mind exactly? It leaves people especially me and with my belief Kris as well feeling a horrible emptiness, once an emptiness that felt welcoming and controlled, eventually things started to pour in happier memories and love from others made that emptiness seem colder without that love and happiness filling it. When I began to see something in reality that I hadn’t before my mind started to shift, like something else was awakened and that above all else wanted to have friends and someone to care about. Sounds sweet doesn’t it, like a good thing? Remember those feelings don’t last for long and things happen between people, more family members die, the fighting eventually gets worse... what I’m saying is that once you’ve familiarized yourself with something that is good, having nothing feels far worse than it had ever felt before those warm feelings came into your life.

I believe Kris is likely to be one of those people, people who became so well acquainted with being empty that once their soul began to grow and desire to live that the rest of the mind went “No, I can’t do this I was PERFECT before.” I know my mind definitely had that knee jerk reaction of “fuck you feelings, I’m going back to the void.” I’ve grown far away from those feelings but even in becoming an adult I’m still haunted by that 5 year old me who just wanted to move on because that part of me knew that my choices didn’t matter.

Kris hasn’t hurt anyone not yet at least, I’m hoping they haven’t hurt any animals but It’s quite obvious that they’ve hurt themselves by tearing their soul out multiple times by force and locking it in a cage, why the cage? Because quite obviously if they didn’t the soul would do everything in it’s power “It’s seen a few crashes” to return to Kris where it belongs. This game is kind of like a call for help from the soul itself because after all these years it needs someone else to save Kris. In Undertale Chara was a narrator idly standing by and occasionally helping until you pushed them too far, Kris is someone who I believe can be saved because they’re here and you are a part of them.

You’re the part of them that cares, the only part that desperately wants to care.
