"oh so it's like canon?" "why won't toby fox make them canon" the important thing you gotta know is toby fox never points to two characters and goes "they dated/they're dating" ever. he usually avoids questions about how he writes queer rep but it seems to be the overall attitude that if he needs to explicitly state the relationship between two characters, then he has failed as a writer to properly convey their dynamic with extra implications and all.

like... legit the only times a thing is blatantly obviously canon is though the characters, through what the CHARACTERS want to say about the other. like alphys and undyne are implied to be into each other but toby fox never said they're a couple, the game did, when alphys confessed her love and they got together at the very end of the story. and it seems everyone else takes this approach, whether the relationship is queer or not. sans "befriending" toriel and the rest is left up to interpretation. suselle with noelle being so flustered and into susie but never needing to go "I'm in love with her" cause we know cause it's just so well written. the implications of asgore giving rudy who's in an unhappy marriage boquets of flowers (berdly even comments on this if you land him in the hospital dismissing it as a "bro" thing to poke fun at how homoeroticism is dismissed as platonic friendship between men). tenna calling spamton his "old partner" (not business partner! JUST PARTNER. A REALLY LOADED WORD). and a bunch more scattered moments here and there for other things like krerdly and krusie and kriselle and so on.

because he's just a writer who takes the approach that if he needs to tell you, he hasn't done a good enough job showing you, and I just really appreciate that. it's really refreshing even 10 years later to throw yourself into writing such deep relationships that still trust readers to figure it out and know what's going on and leave wiggle room for interpretation and yet are so obvious in what they are, so blatantly and without shame or doubt, that everyone realizes what it is. and it's pretty admirable cause it makes these characters more real. nobody really goes around casually saying they're in love with someone, it's a build up, or it might be more complicated, or so on, but they show it in every other way that toby fox manages to capture with careful words.

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)

I love that with every object show created, it further implies that these little things love competing in shit so much so that it really seems like it's biological at this point. you biologically want to compete in this show so bad. you biologically need to win a million dollars or an island or any prize. or just participating is fine.

This. But imagine at the same time there is also another character who ACTUALLY breaks the 4th wall often and they just see this other character n their shenanigans and he's like: "Bro. Seriously?!" everytime the other guy just messes up so bad.

I think it'd be funny to have a character who keeps trying to break the fourth wall and failing
