#and learned a lesson that day

When Ran comes out as a lesbian to him, Kogorou is initially very happy; at least she's not "in danger" of horny teenage boys

That is until she comes home from a sleepover at Sera's with her neck covered in hickeys

"chapter 4 is about susie learning things can't last forever" so we're just saying words recreationally at this point.

gerson is not gone. i will eat my own shoe otherwise. I'm not sure how he'd come back, since he was introduced with a very specific narrative purpose and he achieved it within chapter 4's storyline, but he's not Gone. his mere existence acts as counter evidence to Ralsei's claim that darkners are unpersons, and the idea that they're "less real" and thus less important than the lightners.

well... if that's true, here's a lightner revived as a darkner. a darkner with all the memories, regrets, appearance, personality and goals as what qualifies as a "real person". here's tangible proof that darkners are as capable of personhood as lightners. if you think darkners don't matter, why can gerson exist in the first place? he's a character who blurs the lines between light and darkness. lightner and darkner. author and character, creator and created.

there's a reason deltarune has him dead and "buried" in the cemetery before the game even starts, next to snowdrake's mother and shyren's sister and the leader of the dogs. it's thematically tying him to the concept of the amalgamates. the medical horror plotline in undertale that's a subversion of the trope that dead things should stay dead and that abominations like them should be "put out of their misery". THEIR personhood and freedom and right to return home and be loved by their families in their unconventional state is at the heart of the True Lab.

when gerson asks susie what ending she has in mind and she replies "i wouldn't end it", he cackles with delight and tells her to hold onto that belief dearly when she writes the continuation of their story. his one wish, in life just as in death, was for the new generation to keep creating. he draws a doodle of the fun gang, hands it to susie, and she gives it back by drawing him into the story. in what world is the takeaway from all this that gerson should stay dead and will never return again.

Another year has passed, and with it the opportunity to reflect back on all that has happened. While my growth was not as dramatic as last year, I can still see lots of positive change.

I'll never have enough ways to say thank you for all the love and support you have given me this year. On to 2025!

@eddiediaznetwork event: headcanons ↳ eddie tells christopher "sana, sana colita de rana, si no sana hoy, sanara mañana" when he's hurt, so this is me saying it back to him ♥

English translation: "Heal, heal, little frog's tail, if you don't heal today, you'll heal tomorrow."

Harem AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates into one of Bingge’s wives shortly after he returns from the other world. After a brief (and frantic) realization that’s she’s a woman (and always has been, but we’re not getting into that right now), she delves deep into this harem drama she’s been thrust into. It’s not until she comes face to face with Luo Bingge that she realizes just WHICH harem drama she’s living, and immediately sets about making his life as good as she can manage. Oh, harem infighting is causing strain on his containers? Simply nudge Liu Mingyan and Sha Hualing into working together to manage the harem. The Northern Desert is hinging on disaster because of clerical neglect? One of her harem sisters has a brother who’s in need of a job, no stress. Luo Binghe’s kids are unruly and there’s no clear successor? She has a college degree and a little sister, teaching a dozen or so demonic children is a breeze! All in the name of giving Luo Binghe the time to find a new wife, of course, one who will disperse with the need for this sprawling harem, and once that happens she’s free to travel and document monsters to her hearts content.
