#For better or for worse...

[ne0nwithazero]

I had been wondering; when Tenna vanished, how long did it take for his folks to realize he was straight up gone? The timeframe between ‘he’s not in his room? Maybe he’s hanging out at blahblah I’ll call him’ to sending out search parties and turning their kingdom upside down. I guessed that would depend on how much space they let him have.

But then I got to thinking. The Divide, the splitting of the Dreemurr household, is already a significant enough event to have torn the prince away from Home. What’s to say it didn’t take others too?

Asgore would’ve taken more than just an old tv with him. How much of his building is filled with displaced darkners?

Did they disappear from Home over time as he moved out, random missing posters eventually becoming search parties, with the prince vanishing even under all the parental-fear-heightened security?

Or did it happen all at once, a worldwide disaster with storms and earthquakes and the missing presumed dead in the cataclysmic event, along with those lost to the collapsing rubble and waves of lighting, with the prince another name on a mass grave?

The more I think about either option the worse they get.

I was excited to answer this one! The divide is one of the main plot points of my AU and nearly every character is affected by it one way or the other! It's the main thing I'm currently working behind the scenes atm!

Some things are spoilers for unreleased characters so I'll hold on to that information for now. But yes, Tenna wasn't the only one who was taken. In fact, they weren't even the first one to disappear. It was something that took a while.

Darkners were going missing by the day, so Tenna was actually under house arrest since M&H had no idea what was happening, and the last thing they wanted was for their kid to also vanish.

And, of course, being a kid, Tenna still wanted out, certainly, something wouldn't happen to them if they were careful out there.

Search parties, missing posters were a common sight, but then, more important figures started going missing and things started crumbling. Mike and Host had no idea what to do, with Host's calls to the void going unanswered and Mike struggling to keep everyone calm. And once news came out that Tenna had vanished, the duo fell to despair, their search attempts coming out fruitless over and over again.

And in their grief, they struggled to keep everything else in check, eventually putting the entire world on a hiatus while everything restructured.

But yes, there are quite a few displaced darkners, Tenna is far from being the only one, another even being very briefly mentioned in a different character's initial bio... 💡

No one really knows where those darkners went, but few have lost hope that they'll still show up one day

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

Currently watching Helen of Troy (2003). I have many concerns lmao I'm not a fan. BUT. They did include the death of Iphigenia (though in this one she's like 6?) and what was insane was that the soldiers played with her as they led her to the altar, lifting her by her arms and bouncing her, and she was laughing all the while. Agamemnon caught her in his arms, spun her around, and then killed her. Insane scene in a movie I was watching at like 5/10 interest
