Jimmy killing himself because he knows he is incapable of living an life without Curly and knows that in the miracle chance they were found and saved they would not let him have contact with Curly and he hates the idea he'd actually have to take responsibility.

Even if he lied, its only a matter of time before Curly is capable of showing or telling what a monster he really is, no matter what delusions tell Jimmy Curly would never do that to him.

He understands that he was the monster in everyone's worse moments but refused to accept that at the end. So he made sure that he died without the possibility of it being actualized as he's the only one that saw death as an escape rather than a release. Jimmy truly didn't believe Curly had anything to escape from even after everything and let him have what he perceived as glory as the sole survivor and thus Captain of the Tulpar.

Recently with having seen Chapter 3 and 4 of Deltarune come out, and seeing people's more analytical takes on the characters, how they respond to certain situations because of who they are and what they've experienced, I've come to ask myself a lot more: What would the world be like if we gave others the same courtesy, the same benefit of doubt that we give to fictional characters?

I see these takes on Susie especially, a troubled child who is typically seen as "bad" by the general public within the game, but beloved by players for who she truly is. Someone who feels the need to bottle much of herself away to gain the approval of authority figures she looks up to like Toriel, but is otherwise outwardly abrasive, even if not ill-intentioned.

Would we give someone like that in real life the same benefit of the doubt? If we were slammed into a locker by someone who was considered the class outcast, would we ever come to give them the benefit of the doubt? Would we come to love someone who hurt us because they too hurt? Would we forgive? Or do we only feel such positive associations because we're looking through the eyes of a heart, and not our own? That we get to see this character development play out of its own accord, and go "its okay, she's good now, she's our friend" because we get to peer into so much of her life. Because it gives context, an excuse, a reason, whatever you may like to call it. Something to give the pain meaning. So what of the people we pass every day? What of the "weird kid" in school who gets bullied? What of the adult that doesnt always make the best decisions, but still ultimately cares? What of the friend who doesnt know any better, but is still trying? What of all of those that we don't get to see from an outer perspective, that we don't always get to know on a personal level. That we may never meet again. Are we ever going to be willing to give that same sort of analysis, compassion, and forgiveness to those that we DONT see? Would you truly ever forgive someone who hurt you for having the best intentions in mind?

I had a thought, Flycatcher probably reaaaally loves to swim! Cause frogs :] I imagined him really liking pools and lakes and ponds, basically anywhere that you can get your toes wet

Odette doesn't really like swimming, she's kinda scared of the water, but she likes looking at it! And of course she likes to dance near it so they can watch each other in their element > u <

something really cathartic about having a crisis about how im so slow to catch up with peers and im not making projects like im some sort of creative factory and whats wrong with me and then i remember i have severe depression and need to take care of that to the best of my abilities first

something about that. really helped me feel a bit better. like oh. im not a failure. i just need help.

[yingren]

self indulgent perhaps but i like to imagine there were at least a handful of people that used to crush on yingxing back in the day. but it's not that friend crush type of thing. it's more of admiration mixed with annoyance because he is oh so infuriatingly arrogant and all but he's also so strong and handsome and beautiful and

Been thinking about idw1's outliers lately, and how sort of wild the whole concept is from a worldbuilding standpoint, and it struck me that most confirmed outlier abilities tend to be really useful, or flashy, or powerfully dangerous, and few to none tend to be like, really boring, or totally impractical, or even entirely useless? Which, doesn't really make sense when considering the fact that outlier abilities are seemingly random.

Surely not everyone who's born an outlier gets something useful?

And I don't mean like, "good" useful, but any sort of useful, even if that means you can kill people with your voice, or give a power boost by exploding yourself, those are still "useful".

But surely there had to be some with abilities that were totally impractical, or nonbeneficial, or at the very least just insignificant or purely aesthetic and pointless?

[daily-basil]

Ok I got a submission about it so I'm gonna do a quick update--

I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LACK OF DAILY BASIL! Literally everyone is busy right now. I am Attempting to make daily-basil doodles in anticipation of reopening the blog, but basically several other mods are either busy, on vacation, artfighting, or otherwise unable to contribute right now

I've been trying to draw some Basils so that I have a few to use when we do reopen the blog entirely but it has been a Struggle. Apologies for the hiatus going on for much longer than I had anticipated oops

Can I please kiss you?! I'm such a huge fan of you!! -Kayla Shea the human.

Bal couldn't help blush at your words. While he was surprised and, deep down, appreciative of your attention, he wasn't sure if he had the confidence to return the gesture you sought from him as easily as you asked. Kindness and affection weren't common practice in his underground, and the hunger problems didn't help. He was still learning how to accept it himself, but he's had some time to adjust.

However, he wasn't a skeleton to disappoint if he could manage at least something for you.

He cleared his throat as he hid his flustered state. He bent over at the waist, bringing himself closer to your height as he lifted his hand to his teeth. He eye light blinked out of sight for a moment, before returning to gaze at you. He moved his gloved fingers from his teeth, gently pressing them to your cheek without breaking eye contact with you.

...

"Kiss."

...

He hoped that you weren't discouraged by his attempt, but perhaps this could be a chance he got to know you better going forward, too. Maybe take you out to lunch one day, if you'd like. He was always hungry, after all.
