oh, would you be so kind

as to fall in love with me?

[mikesbasementbeets]

Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.

Lots of Steph here (I had major art block making all of these and my brain worms for her kept me going) + some sprinkles of stephcass for Cass nation to enjoy!

Why fight people when your time can be better spent bantering?

Okay I know I'm the most biased person about dadmare, but you can't honestly tell me that if Cross started to mention the way xgaster treated him and his brother as children - the way an adult bullied and belittled and abused them - that it wouldn't make Nightmare see red

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING NICE TO ME BTW.. i mean this goes without saying. but i've tried and failed many times and many years to keep a list of compliments people give me, and i decided to pick it back up again since i'm trying to be a bit more proactive in being nicer to myself--been nabbing some nice tags and reblogs and asks and replies and messages i've remembered from people on here, as well as making sure i have all the drawings saved that people have drawn for me (going all the way back to 2017!!) and i'm just SO overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and support... it means the world to me but i struggle immensely with internalizing it, so i just wanted to spew a word of THANK YOU! thank you for supporting me and being here, regardless of for What or for How Long. even if i don't respond right away (and i've been trying to get better, thank you to everyone still waiting on DMs from me 🙏) i read absolutely everything and while it can be difficult to drill into my own head, the support and love and grace i feel from ya's is not lost on me. so thank you! do something nice for yourselves today

the london undertale concert was one of the best days of my life and I need to yell about how good it was in excessive detail ❤️

BEFORE THE SHOW:

just getting to see people of all ages in utdr shirts and cosplays everywhere made me so so happy ;_; seeing how many people brought plushies made me wish I'd brought one of mine too aaaa

while queuing and waiting for the doors to open a couple people started playing instruments! sadly I wasn't close enough to hear them too well but I'm pretty sure I heard spider dance and bonetrousle

at one point someone further in the queue held up a plush of the annoying dog sprite and everyone cheered

after we got in I saw a spamton a. spamton cosplayer on the lower audience level. from the upper level their long white nose really stood out in the dark jghdskjf

while the orchestra didn't play any deltarune music, I did hear acid tunnel of love playing before the show! (plus music from minecraft and I think stardew valley?)

they had merch!! not a lot, literally just a bag and a small poster (which unfortunately seems kind of easy to damage 💔) but I was so happy they had anything for the occasion:

ACT 1:

they showed gameplay on the screen above the orchestra, while the lights behind them would change colour to match! purple for the ruins, blue for snowdin etc

I immediately started crying at once upon a time

heartache was so beautiful

the crowd cheered when sans started playing/appeared onscreen

the gameplay skipped around snowdin a lot and at greater dog I think they just straight up played dogsong through the speakers?? dog music too complex to be replicated by human orchestra...

while playing the shop theme the gameplay initially showed QC's snowdin shop, but halfway through changed to show gerson's shop and the crowd cheered specifically for him

we went from snowdin to undyne (the ominous theme) with no papyrus songs. suspicious...

after waterfall they played bird that carries you across a disproportionately small gap and the crowd went wild cheering for the bird not once but Twice, as the gameplay showed it carry frisk back and forth. deserved

the bird was immediately followed by an insane rendition of dummy!! the conductor was practically dancing around, my favourite from act 1 for sure it was SO good

spear of justice was also incredible

another medium!! the 5th anniversary concert (which I also still love forever) didn't include it so I was so glad to hear it here :']

spider dance was amazing

not only was it's raining somewhere else so pretty but some of the crowd were laughing at sans and toriel's jokes onscreen. cute...

I have no idea how I managed to not fully cry at undertale (the song) but I was definitely teary-eyed by the end

act 1 ended with asgore and holy moly the electric guitar went so hard

ACT 2:

beginning with start menu and gradually building up to the full version was so fun!!

they made us wait for papyrus but my god did they deliver. after the much-awaited bonetrousle they played sans' trombone bit, immediately followed by all the date themes and everyone cheered when papyrus' date outfit was onscreen

alphys got some applause too!! (admittedly less but I'm just glad she got some!!!)

mettaton though... biggest applause yet, rainbow lights on the stage to match the gameplay before the quiz, everyone clapping to the beat of it's showtime. incredible

metal crusher and core were amazing but I don't think anything in my life will ever match the experience of hearing the "OHHHH YES" line at a volume so loud you feel it through your feet and the crowd immediately going wild again for mettaton ex's appearance and death by glamour

I don't know how your best nightmare Didn't give me a headache with how fittingly loud it was but the lights going red and the horns as the warning alarms between phases was so cool

fallen down reprise was lovely and the crowd laughing at the dialogue from that scene made my heart feel full

hopes and dreams!! admittedly my one disappointment is that they didn't play the second half and skipped to his theme, which was wonderful too but save the world would've made me sob

also they named the human 'You' and hyperdeath asriel's dialogue onscreen being "I'm so afraid, You..." was probably funny only to me

loved good night playing along with the final scene of toriel bringing frisk a slice of pie

the end...?

no. Sans Time

they played song that might play when you fight sans!! never heard an orchestra version of it which was so cool, especially loved the bonetrousle section

obviously they had to end on megalovania and OBVIOUSLY they went as hard as possible with it. incredible rendition that only kept getting better, the conductor literally jumped in the air for the big final beat

the end 👏👏👏👏👏

I so so desperately hope an official recording of the concert is released on youtube someday. the memory will stick with me forever but I wanna listen to it again and again and for everyone else to be able to hear it too :'] this was literally one of my dreams come true 🌟

"I am unsure how long it has been. Perchance time passed slowly in my absence, and thus all tales familiar to me have not been lost completely in its passage. Prithee judge my words, and find them true. There was, in my time, tales of great weapons sealed in stone, or drowned in dark water, held, for a time, only to be found again in greatest need. The Fox, cunning Devourer, knows these tales too, glutted on them, as I did, when we were both young and simpler."

"The Fox knew, when I raised my sword against him, that Death was coming, and so he sought to seal his Death away, to drown it in time and dark water, that he might prey on the land as a lion. It is the Fox's great folly, that he forgot, or could not prevent, the hand of Fate, which always draws the sword from the stone. I only pray Fate did not tarry over long."

Hi! This is the first time I'm sending an art prompt...

I was thinking maybe both Danny and M'gann are floating (preferably in space but anywhere would do) and M'gann is yapping about something (maybe a recipe she's trying to learn?) and Danny is just smiling and listening to her.

idk. I kinda just want a fluff piece.

Please and thank you 😊

Anon, anon I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved drawing for this prompt. It has everything I love doing tbh. Floaty/flying stuff? Check. My fav ship being cute? Check. Space/stars as background?Check.

Ibis paint loved it a bit less, but I didn't let it stop me (I hope that Tumblr or the way I got it on my laptop to post didn't mess up quality)

She got cool recipe down without turning on fire alarm or any accidents and she had to share hah

Here is without the speech bubbles and face close ups:

I'm super happy about how this turned out :D

And also, little thing I made along the way because I got inspired when I turned off sketch layer and saw lineart alone on the background. Anyway, them the constelation

I hope you like it anon, I certainly loved making it.

Also, here is reference for background because I love this photo and need to spread it far and wide
