Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

I've been wanting to doodle my 621 for a while, but today I finally did a little something! Yay!~

I imagine her previous thing was getting her brain fried, so I figure that frying starts where the thing connects right into her skull 🤔But nothing a little surgery and coral can't fix!

I declare these Olympic Games OPENED!!!!

"Our soul stores all our feelings. Everything that we experience and feel is absorbed by our soul. Our whole life and all our memories are part of our soul, as a result of which our life of feeling becomes more spacious and more conscious.

From our soul comes the impetus [the force or energy with which a body moves/lives] as a result of which we make the main decisions in our life. Our soul leads us, gives us strength to persevere. She is the driving force to make the most of our life. Our soul recognizes the people who are part of our life, as a result of which we feel attracted to those people."

"We are more soul than body. Our soul is eternal, our body temporary. Our physical body only serves our soul for this one earthly life. As soul, we connect ourselves with the fertilized egg cell in the mother who can receive us. We ourselves are the life that inspires and steers this cell to growth. For our whole life, our soul feeds our body with life force, until her life task has been completed."

i've said this before but i think a huge part of the reason undertale's character writing works that doesn't get talked about enough is the fact that it doesn't fall into the trap of having FRIENDSHIP fix everything. i mean in a way it kind of does but like. the characters fix their own mistakes. they are the ones to decide they've done wrong and take action to fix it, not you. they just realize that through frisk. friendship gives them the new perspective necessary to change their ways, but it's only half the solution.

it's alphys who decides, on her own, to take the amalgamates home and admit her mistakes. it's undyne who, when it's her turn to attack you, outside her flaming house, decides there's no point in this path of mindless murder and destruction she's dug for herself, and breaks the cycle herself by dropping her weapon and deciding not to fight you anymore. it's asgore who, after you've done nothing but attack him, realizes what a coward he's been and decides to end the cycle of violence at the cost of his own life. it's mettaton who hears the voices of the hundreds who love him, and who he loves, and realizes that for now, it's more worth it for him to be content where he is. it's asriel who, despite the comfort of pretending chara's still with him, chooses to recognize frisk as who they really are, and face a harsh reality so he can save his family. sans sees your determination and perseverance in the face of hopelessness and decides that maybe there is something to fight for, all by simply watching you. hell, papyrus gives up his fight entirely on his own- all he needs is an opportunity to really think his plan to join the guard through, and a taste of what that guard actually stands for, and he decides it's not worth it without you saying a word. undertale presents you with all these flawed and complex characters and says, "here, look. they're just like you, and they chose to save themselves, despite everything in them telling them they were damned. will you do the same?"

Me (whispering to myself as I hit play on Merlin s1ep1 once again): And like the cycle of the year, we begin again

Yep, Celestial Tower not only is the traditional graveyard each game has, but it does have the tradition to ring the bell. I’m the first game Skyla has us ring it before we go to fight her, and later Alder rings it to help comfort the spirit of his deceased Volcarona. And in the sequel you can obtain a quest to defeat four former associates to a newlywed couple in order to ring the bell. The tower is even where you encounter Mesprit!(given its the emotion pokemon, Sinnoh and Unova have an unspoken connection, and the bell “sound is said to reflect the nature of the one who rang it,” this makes a lot of sense). It seems tradition for someone each Unova game to ring that bell whether it be us or someone who lost something like Alder(if the Champion Emmet thing is true, Alder probably be a good person for Emmet to at least try to talk to given they both be Unova Champions who lost someone close to them), so Emmet ringing it in a third game to both literally and metaphorically put his ghosts to rest would honestly be an amazing Pokémon scene that ties things together nicely and a little nod to putting Marowak ghost to rest given Gen 5 original origins

I may have gone a bit nuts with this, but oh well

Emmet on his way to ring the bell, to let Ingo rest at last...

can't stop daydreaming about a soulslike zelda game yall i'm so normal about this

The scene at the start of All Hell Breaks Loose where Dean talks to Sam's corpse in that shack in the middle of nowhere is soul crushing to an incomprehensible level that the show hardly ever manages to reach again.

Firstly, what is revealed about Dean as he spills his heart open is devastating on a whole other level. Like there's grief and then there's this - it's like a piece of him has been torn out and he's left unable to literally function. It's not really a new idea in the series up to this point that Dean has centered his life around his family, in particular protecting Sam. As he starts off, he wishes so desperately that Sam didn't start asking questions about their family so Dean could preserve his innocence just a little bit longer. No doubt John put a lot of pressure on Dean to protect and look after Sam, but taking on this role was something that was all but written inside him, as he says, John didn't even have to tell him to do it, Sam was his responsibility. The tipping point in this scene is when Dean finally asks "what am I supposed to do" - how can he even begin to move beyond this? He doesn't care if the world ends anymore, doesn't care if Azazel wins and he never gets revenge. In asking this question Dean realises that he is incapable of letting go of Sam, of the responsibilities to his family he has built his life around like the grain of sand at the centre of the pearl, and of the crushing guilt that comes with 'failing' these responsibilities. The only way forwards is to force the laws of nature to bend for him and bring Sam back from the dead, no matter the cost.

Secondly, this is heart wrenching to me for Sam too. Here he is, 23 years old and lying dead on a dingy mattress in a shack in the middle of nowhere - the only escape from his dark destiny found in death. But the primary reason it seems that Dean makes this massive sacrifice to bring him back isn't because he's 23 and has so much of life he deserves to live, but because he is incapable of living under the weight of his guilt in failing him - that he is Dean's responsibility that he can't live with letting down. And this is not to say that Dean doesn't also bring him back because he loves and care for him as a person, but it's not like Dean was sitting there talking to Sam saying you didn't deserve this, we were so close to ending this, you deserved to go on to have a life that hasn't been built around and in grief and revenge, hell, you could've even gone back to university and had your happy ending. You know? It's like selling your soul for someone is a crazy batshit insane thing to do - the ultimate sacrifice. But same as with John, it seems that the reason behind it wasn't just pure love and desire for that person to live just because they didn't deserve to die. John needed Dean to be there to ensure Sam didn't go darkside - to kill him if he can't save him. In both cases it was out of love, but in this weird objectified way.

It's just so fascinating how this dynamic between the three Winchesters, love and sacrifice plays out in the early seasons. How supernatural finds selfishness at the centre of this seemingly sacrificial selfless act. The selfishness in martyrdom.

That's why this scene is just heart wrenching in my sad insane little head. Sam and Dean were crazy codependants before this but this scene marks a turn for the worst (in codependence) for them. This scene is like the solidification of Dean's belief that he is worthless and incapable of functioning without the responsibilities he holds to his family and solidifies that Sam is the little brother possession for Dean to protect and regulate until his time runs out and he's shipped off to hell - leaving him at the centre of his massacred family with all the fingers pointing in his direction. His mum was collateral damage to his anti-baptism by a demon, his Dad sold his soul for his brother's life to be the final yes or no in the decision of whether Sam deserves to live or not, and now his brother's gone and done the same for him. But hey, at least when Dean gets dragged down to hell it isn't with the weight of guilt that he failed his responsibilities.

(spoiler alert: he feels guilty for leaving Sam anyway and Sam spirals anyway).
