Welcome to the blog! I'm R-E, the one drawing all of these goofballs!

This is mostly a Sword Knight/Blade Knight blog, though you'll occasionally see other Kirby characters. Almost all of my works done of these characters have been reposted here!

The ask box is always open if you want to see them drawn in any way!

So... do you want to know more about that charismatic goth singer?

Persephone, the emerging artist !

British singer, songwriter and dancer Claire Jonesy Sakurai, currently known by her stage name "Persephone and The Vampires," rose to prominence and gained artistic recognition when she became popular on apps like TikTok and Instagram for her unique performances and dark, danceable gothic sounds. Persephone has a graceful, fun and, properly, gothic way of expressing songs like "Sick of Love," "Blood Moon" and "Wax Castle"; it was through dancing that she won over her audience even more. Currently, her sound spans genres such as Death Rock, Post-punk, Dark and New Wave, which is similar to the sound of the same in the 80s/90s — her biggest inspirations, in fact, are Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Cure, Bauhaus, Christian Death and Malice Mizer.

Persephone is very perfectionist and serious about her performances. She wears stage costumes that match each of her eras: In her first album, "Your Fallen Angel", she started wearing angel costumes, with eyes and a halo, but, until the end of the shows of this era, she wore fallen angel costumes, with black feathers and a darker look, marking the transformation and change, the main theme of this album. The same happened with the "A(r)mor" era: the beginning marked by her wearing closed knight's armor, but at the end ending with a white dress with only a few pieces of armor, representing freedom.

Her way of expressing herself is hypnotizing, as is her vampire smile — Persephone has naturally long canines, just like a vampire's; which made her fans start calling her "Mother Vamp" and, consequently, creating "Little Vamps" as the name of the fandom. Because of this, people started comparing her to a vampire, or even a witch, due to her intriguing and beautiful nature.

Off stage, Persephone is very charismatic and close to her fans; it is common to see her interacting directly with them on the streets of London. Persephone also shares photos with them and fanarts made by them on the Internet; according to her, her fans are like her friends and family: she loves to be close to them as much as possible.

In addition to her fans, her band is also her family. Persephone is a solo singer, but she always emphasizes the importance and talent of her band, which is made up of five incredible members. She says, whenever possible, that she does not work alone and that they are a team. The band is also much talked about on the Internet for participating in her performances and having a chemistry (on stage? real?) with the singer. It is notoriously common to see her interacting with the members on stage, making them smile and highlighting their talents.

Persephone's fashion sense also draws a lot of attention; she mixes plaid, lace, berets, gloves, colorful colors with the traditional gothic black; the singer is inspired by brands like "Vivienne Westwood" and "Moschino," and never appears badly dressed, whether at events or not, being constantly praised on the internet for this.

Persephone is also a very versatile singer, capable of winning over many celebrities, whether they are in the rock world or not. Persephone has feats with Aurora and Chappell Roan, and some collaborations with Hozier. These are just a few partnerships mentioned.

She is also present in film and series soundtracks: "My Dark Side," from her second album, is present in the soundtrack of the new film "Nosferatu," while the song "Frankenstein" was written by her only for the film "Lisa Frankenstein." In addition, it is quite common to hear "Sick of Love" playing in some current Netflix series.

Persephone (and her vampires) is working on the next album of her career for the end of 2025, where all that is known so far is that it will be themed around "Alice in Wonderland" — spoiler said by herself.

✨Axel's Ultimate Batman Video Game Play Guide and Reviews

You guys seemed to enjoy the previous version of this I did with all the Batman Animated shows, and now that I'm done with all the Batman games I thought I'd post my thoughts on those too! I decided to do this one in just like. Regular text format. Bc I didn't feel like editing all these into images like I did for the last one. So uhhh lemme know which format you prefer lol.

Anyways, please enjoy my comprehensive thoughts and feelings on (almost) every modern Batman game, five months in the making because I have no life. Enjoy!

🦇

Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)

My Personal Rating: 7/10

My Total Hours Played: 17.1 

Steam Rating: Overwhelmingly Positive (96%)

Description: The first game in the Batman Arkham Series. Based off the iconic Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth comic from 1989 (aka the only good thing Grant Morrison has ever produced in his entire feeble life). The inmates at Arkham Asylum have begun a violent riot, and as Batman goes through the hospital to stop them, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving his greatest enemies.

Play If You're Looking For: An intro to the Arkham Series, a very different interpretation of Arkham Asylum compared to other versions of Batman, and some really dark aesthetics. Also, this isn't explicitly canon, but according to this series’ timeline, this game takes place in the space between Jason's death and Tim’s arrival, so if you're interested in a very dark, brooding, traumatized Bruce, playing this game with that information changes it a lot. 

Things I Liked:

Genuinely really scary

Incredible atmosphere 

Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil are featured in their iconic roles

Really well written

Birthed a bunch of really iconic Batman memes (go to the r/Arkham subreddit, it's so funny unfortunately) (OFFICER BALLS.)

This was actually my introduction to Oracle and I love her more than anything in these games

Things I Didn't Like:

The graphics aren't fantastic but to be fair it was 2009 so

THE FUCKING BANE BOSS FIGHT. GOD. FUCK YOU BANE. THAT SHIT TOOK ME SO LONG.

The Killer Croc boss fight wasn't super difficult but it was so scary that I cried the first time I played it so. Keep that in mind.

Batman: Arkham City (2011)

My Personal Rating: 9/10

My Total Hours Played: 27.5

Steam Rating: Overwhelmingly Positive (95%)

Description: The second game in the Batman Arkham Series. After the riot at Arkham Asylum, Sharpton ascends to the mayor's office and cuts off about 6.4 acres of Gotham as ‘Arkham City’; a walled off portion of the city where crime runs rampant and mostly untethered. 

Play If You're Looking For: Agonizing Brutalia angst, a fight with pretty much every Batman villain who's ever existed (except for Scarecrow but that's for AK), a tiny sprinkle of Brucie Wayne right at the beginning, and an INCREDIBLE story that is generally agreed to be the best in the series. 

Things I Liked:

TONS of collectibles

Taliaaaaa my angelllll <<3

The side missions are really great

If you get the DLC, there's a special game section focused around Harley where you play as Tim’s Robin and it's super fun

The story is just. My god. It's so good. It's SO good. 

The map is massive and there's so much to do, I was still playing weeks after I finished the story

Things I Didn't Like:

As much as I loved the collectibles there's like over 400 of them in the game and I couldn't get all of them and it still pisses me off 

You have to play as Selina a few times in order to progress and she's like super weak compared to Bruce (not in a misogynistic way on my part I mean like she genuinely dies after like two good hits) and her dialogue annoys tf out of me. Sorry I'm a hater. 

Batman: Arkham Origins (2013)

My Personal Rating: 9/10

My Total Hours Played: 27.2

Steam Rating: Very Positive (89%)

Description: The third game in the Batman Arkham Series– but this one is a prequel! I actually played this one after Arkham Knight but. Shhh. Anyways, this game is based loosely off the world presented in the Batman: Year One comics, and follows a younger Bruce in his early days as Batman, including the origins (lol) to many of his greatest enemies as they try to hunt him down, with their efforts spearheaded by a certain someone behind the scenes. Also it's Christmas!

Play If You're Looking For: Little baby angsty Bruce being a problem child, a game where you get to punch cops, and tiny tiny tiny baby Babs being adorable (she's like twelve and she's so cute).

Things I Liked:

I don't usually care about the soundtracks for video games but. FUCK the music is good. It's all based on Christmas/Nutcracker music and it's really really cool

This game genuinely helped me get over a lot of really deeply ingrained trauma surrounding Christmas /gen

Fun little Mad Hatter side mission!

Batman and Riddler argue like teenage boys (because they are)

Alfred and Bruce's relationship has some genuinely really beautiful characterization in this and their arch is really enjoyable 

Things I Didn't Like:

FUCKING. BANE. HE HAS LIKE THREE SEPARATE BOSS FIGHTS AND THEY'RE ALL SO HARD AND SCARY AND AND AND AHHHH 

The graphics are a little iffy but to be fair my view was skewed bc I played this right after finishing Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Knight (2015)

My Personal Rating: 8.5/10

My Total Hours Played: 47.9

Steam Rating: Very Positive (91%)

Description: The fourth and (kind of) final installment of the Batman Arkham Series (not counting Arkham Shadow because idgaf). Scarecrow is back, and threatening Gotham with a new fear toxin compound, resulting in a mass evacuation… but something else is going on here too, and Batman has a new enemy who may be his most dangerous yet. 

Play If You're Looking For: agony, pain, suffering, nightmares, tears, emotional exhaustion, etc. 

Things I Liked:

Really well written story (it's just really traumatizing)

Some of the most beautiful graphics in any video game like. Ever.

The DLC suits are SO COOL, you can play as Flashpoint Batman….

Really really great fighting mechanics that make combat actually really enjoyable even though that's not really what I'm here for

Amazing side missions; there's basically a side mission for every mechanic in the game, so whatever your favorite part is there's a little section where that's pretty much all you do

Things I Didn't Like:

This game took me WEEKS to get through because the story is so painful it was genuinely not fun half the time 

The ending isn't very satisfying (to me)

You know the concept of the “all is lost moment” in story telling? Yeah, this game’s “all is lost moment” is like 80% of the game. Everything is lost like. Most of the time. 

Oh we're just not gonna talk about Talia. After all that shit in Arkham City. Okay. Cool. 

Selina is so annoying in this game, there's this whole side mission that's basically just her and it's really irritating

FUCK YOU EDWARD NYGMA THAT DRIVING COURSE WAS BULLSHIT AND I COULDN'T GET THROUGH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I FUCKING TRIED

I actually just kinda hate driving games generally and there's a LOT of driving in this game but you get used to it eventually and it becomes easier

Gotham Knights (2022)

My Personal Rating: 10/10

My Total Hours Played: 46.9

Steam Rating: Mixed (68%)

Description: Batman is dead, leaving Dick, Jason, Barbara, Tim, and Alfred to pick up the pieces and finish what he started. 

Play If You're Looking For: Batfam content, a perfect mix of “holy shit I haven't cried this hard in years” and “this is the funniest thing anyone has ever produced ever, goofy dialogue and one liners, and casual queer rep.

Things I Liked:

The map is HUGE and genuinely feels so unbelievably alive in a way that I don't think any other Batman game even comes close to in its depiction of Gotham– like I could write ESSAYS about how well this game captures the experience of living in a big city like Gotham (let me know if you want me to make a post about that actually lol)

Collectibles that are actually reasonable and fun

Super fun side missions

Absolutely gorgeous graphics 

The characters can emote and all the Batkids have their own dance moves :( and Jason dances like he's 70 years old it's really cute :(

Even after completing everything in the entire story it's STILL fun to go patrolling because it keeps generating new crimes– premeditated or otherwise– for you to fight and it's really fun

The Batkids have a pride flag in their house ☹️ and Dick has a bi flag mug ☹️

Things I Didn't Like:

Literally everyone hates this game for NO FUCKING REASON it's genuinely fantastic you guys are just losers

Talia is unfortunately characterized kinda shitty and it makes me sad bc her design is incredible but she does some OOC stuff :(

You can customize your suit but not as extensively as I would've liked 

This game gets kinda hard to play at points because it's really hard to see your screen through all the tears (cough cough the last boss fight cough cough)

Batman: The Telltale Series (2016)

My Personal Rating: 5.7/10

My Total Hours Played: 9.1

Steam Rating: Very Positive (86%)

Description: A 5 episode point-and-click adventure following Bruce Wayne as he faces some of his biggest challenges, both as Bruce and as Batman. 

Play If You're Looking For: Minimal combat and story-centered gameplay.

Things I Liked:

I love love love the character designs in this game, this is actually one of my favorite versions of Bruce possibly ever

You get a lot of opportunities to make Bruce and Selina kiss in this game and I said no every single time and it was very gratifying for me 

Alfred and Bruce have an incredibly sweet father-son relationship (if you play your cards right, anyway) and it makes me really emotional because Bruce literally loses EVERYTHING over the course of this game and Alfred is there at his side the whole time

The ending was really satisfying overall and actually made me enjoy the game a lot more

Things I Didn't Like:

Chapters 2-4 are INCREDIBLY stressful, especially for me because A) there's an involuntary psych ward commitment and B) there are a lot of themes around the Wayne's developing a bad reputation and being hated, which are massively triggering for me personally and because I don't have the spoons to play through the whole thing at once I had to sit in that stress for a while before it concluded in-game

Batman: The Enemy Within (2017)

My Personal Rating: 4/10

My Total Hours Played: 10.2

Steam Rating: Very Positive (91%)

Description: The sequel to “Batman: The Telltale Series”. John Doe is let out of Arkham and seeks to take you up on that favor you promised him.

Play If You're Looking For: BatJokes, Angst, and a lot of “Is Batman Good For Gotham?” Stuff.

Things I Liked:

The opening chapter with Mori was kinda fun

I think Amanda Waller was written pretty well overall

Things I Didn't Like:

Fucking any of it lowkey 😭

Same as the other Telltale game tbh

For me, it was emotionally exhausting and really upsetting, but that's just kinda because I HATEEEE the “impossible choice” trope in any almost any media, I just never enjoy it, and there's a LOT of it in here

The ending made me wanna kms because there's literally no good option here what the fuck

Like I get that's the whole point but. Okay what if I kms what then.

Queer reading of Vulgate pt 2: Intro pt 1

preface | intro pt 1 | intro pt 2

The introduction is written by the translator of The Quest for the Holy Grail, E. Jane Burns. Burns begins by laying out the context of the Vulgate Cycle's structure, its history and development, and the different expectations historical readers have brought to the text.

Which underscores how expectation colors perception.

What happens if we imagine the possibility of multiple writers with different backgrounds, views, progressiveness, and agendas? Instead of assuming heteronormativity, homophobia, toxic masculinity, misogyny, and a single unified author with a singular agenda and vision - what if we stay open to the possibility of a different concept of gender than we're used to? What about possible queer subtext and the possibility of queercoding in medieval fiction, not just in modern fiction?

What if we look for those things, rather than assuming and looking for explanations that match the modern stereotypical assumptions of medieval people/writers/beliefs? (After all, it's those modern assumptions that lead to the phenomenon of "history will say they were roommates," or the all too common error of "woman buried with warrior stuff? must be religious, can't possibly be because she actually fought.")

That's what I mean by reading with a queer lens. Because most of the time, these works are read with a heteronormative, gender-normative lens, just unconscious or subconscious as a bias, and so any queer elements are missed entirely.

(Like. I still don't understand how anyone can read the passages with Galehaut as anything other than Extremely Gay. How do you miss that? Yet so many people assume it's "comrades" and "bros" despite the text going out of its way to say that it's more than companionship. Because of the default, unexamined lens that they're using.)

….anyway. off the soapbox. Back to the intro.

"Many literary historians… have mistakenly sought in Arthurian romance a recognizable ancestor text for the modern novel" and are disappointed in the somewhat disjointed conglomeration of the Vulgate. They then either dismissed it as incoherent and terrible, or defended it as having an underlying coherence and attempted to legitimize it by imagining a singular author (or unifying editor).

"The unwieldy mix of spiritual and chivalric modes that crisscross unevenly throughout… mark the Vulgate Cycle as a product of the emergent social and political tensions in thirteenth-century France," with the popularized chivalric tales of knights from the mid-twelfth-century getting infused with Biblical allusions and Grail mysteries around 1200. Prose had a more religious connotation and association than verse, which was more recreational (condemned sometimes as "vain pleasures").

"Lady readers, in particular, were exhorted after 1200 to abandon the deceptive tales of Arthurian knights." Which supports the idea that one of the primary audiences for these stories were women! Women of the 1200's French court, in the case of the French romances, though I'm sure readership extended beyond that.

This is another example of how expectation shapes perception. There's a tendency for modern readers to assume that medieval literature will be dry, dull, misogynistic, homophobic, etc… and so I've seen people assume that the vast numbers of unnamed ladies/maidens/queens are a product of misogyny, of being seen as too unimportant for distinct names.

And certainly there was systemic misogyny in the culture, just as there is nowadays - but I don't think that's the core reason for the nameless female characters. It doesn't match up with the Vulgate's characterization of these women as clever, competent, independent, and saving knights more often than being saved by knights. (Nor does it match up with how many women are named.)

I've heard a theory (probably on Tumblr somewhere, I can't remember where) that the unnamed women are the equivalent of "y/n" ("your name") in modern fanfic. Reader-insert. Perhaps the author(s) expected women reading the story to project themselves onto the characters, and so made extra room for them to do so.

…But back to the introduction once more. Burns unravels the idea of a single author or even a solid, novel-like coherent narrative for the Vulgate Cycle, and arrives at this:

"The Vulgate Cycle then provides us with a text that is not a text in the modern sense of the term, a text that is always fragmentary but always a composite of more than one text, a text located somewhere and uncertainly in the complex relation between many narrative versions created by many authorial if not authoritative hands.

"The literary map accurately representing this cycle of tales would contrast starkly with Lot’s set calendar. It would be a map that changed continually as we move through the narrative terrain it charts. Although it might incorporate on one level and for the text of the Prose Lancelot in particular the existence of a predictable calendar of events, a map detailing the whole of the Vulgate Cycle would have to reflect a much looser and more flexible narrative structure.

"It would be a map with no fixed perimeter, and no set or authorized format, a map that could shift and reshape itself at successive moments and with successive readings."

A shifting mélange of a narrative, flexible and unbounded, containing multitudes, eluding attempts to define or confine it into one single known element…

…Well. That sounds like the very definition of queer.

Fraymotif Introductory Megapost

Wow, cool, an intro post. 

This is a Homestuck blog, with a lot of spoilers. A LOT.

This is your warning.

So what’s this all about?

Fraymotifs are powerful battle techniques used by Sburb's Heroes. They are basically super god-like combo attacks between multiple Heroes of differing aspects. In canon, they are shown to be 2 to 3 player combos, but it is theorized that they can include up to 12 players.

Interactions between Classpects

The way I look at Fraymotifs is as a synergy between synergies. A Hero’s Class is how they interact with their own Aspect, while a Fraymotif is how two or more Heroes interact with each other’s Classpects (Jade, a Witch of Space, changing the space in which Dave’s, a Knight of Time, protection through time is used into a single concentrated bubble; slowing time within a bubble around Bec Noir via Adagio Redshift).

My Goal with this very ambitious blog

There are 144 unique Mythological Roles (Classpects) within Sburb, and a Fraymotif involves 2+ of them. Let’s do the math for a second. The equation to figure out the number of combinations there are between r elements of a set of n items, ignoring differing permutations, is: C(n,r)=n!/(r!(n−r)!). So, 144 choose 2 comes out to be 10,296. That's actually 10 thousand different Fraymotifs for just combos of two Heroes. It shoots up to 400k+ once you include combinations of 3. There’s probably a lot less when you disclude combos between Heroes of the same Aspect, but its still an astronomical number. On top of that, there are at LEAST 36 single-Aspect Fraymotifs, meant to be used by a single Hero, and I do not wish to cover those, simply as a personal preference for what I find interesting. Sorry, I’ve got enough on my plate with the 10k+ I already intend to do, and those are at least wacky goofy combos.

I wish to at least cover what I think ALL 2-Player Fraymotifs there can be, in this blog. That is over ten thousand, so I will be covering many at a time within a post. There also may be more than one possible Fraymotif per Aspect-Combo, but for the sake of brevity (the irony is not lost on me) I will limit it such that each Pair of Classpects only get 1 Fraymotif assigned to them. That narrows it down to a measly 9504, and I do not feel sorry for making each of them special.

I don’t know if I will have the brainpower to cover 3+ Player Fraymotifs as thoroughly, so I will only cover them upon request! So please ask if you really wish for my take! I will be glad to nerd out some more. Hell, you can ask pretty much anything you want about my efforts, that's what the askbox is for (^-^)b

The Fraymotif design process

Next I look at how the abilities of the Heroes interact with each other, obviously. A Witch of Space localizes the time powers of a Knight of Time, and constructively interferes with the powers’ purpose of protecting, keeping the Target trapped in a bubble separated from the outside world (Adagio Redshift). A Seer of Mind may use the Knight of Time’s protection as a guide to see through the various alternate outcomes to find a version of events where things went a little better, and the Knight would then lock-on to that timeline to bring their partner to refuge, perhaps re-doing a section they struggled on before (Assylum Dal Segno). It is mostly a case-by-case basis, but a HUGE part of Fraymotifs are the Motifs themselves, that is to say, a theme or recurring element. The motive behind a power or ability. A Knight of Time would have access to Time shenanigans (That’s the theme of their powers), but the leading motive behind them will be for Protection, even though they are a solid combatant by themselves.

This will develop the longer I run this blog, but as it stands now, I start by analyzing the Classpects of each Hero involved and take note of their abilities in their own right. Witch of Space naturally has control over the properties of physical Space so their abilities could localize and/or expand the area of effect of other physical powers, stuff like that. Of course, this requires a comprehensive understanding of Classpecting first. Classpecting as a magic system is defined in-world by flawed/biased narrators, so most of it is left up to interpretation. As a Mage of Heart myself, I am very Classpecting-pilled, and I feel as though I grasp the concept very naturally. For areas in which my understanding is a bit thin, I do like to reference Ouroborista’s take on the system, and I am especially fond of the Class symmetry proposed therein, albeit a bit contested throughout the community. But hey, most of it is up to interpretation anyway, so if you disagree, please let me know in the asks, I would love to hear your opinions! Classpecting is all symbology lol.

Edit: the class symmetries I use have changed since starting this project, I will cover this in THE SHIFT.

Edit: I forgot to mention that while non-godtiers are able to use Fraymotifs (See: Dave and Terezi with Assylum Dal Segno in [S] Collide), I will be designing these under the assumption that all participants are godtier. Some Fraymotifs will be simple, despite everyone's access to their full godtier kit, but seriously there's 9.5k of them they can't all be perfect.

There are obviously a few Fraymotifs that are defined in canon. But I mean. Come on. Canon is a tangible thing that can be messed with in Homestuck, and mess with it I shall. There are 11 2-Player Fraymotifs that we see in HS, and when you treat June and Rose’s and Dave and Terezi’s duplicates as a single Fraymotif each (as I will because they are consistent in how they utilize the abilities despite a different graphic (well, except for Rose and Roxy but that’s a whole different beast I will address in the next section)), that lowers it down to 7-technically-8 Fraymotifs that have been shown, and only 4 of those are named. I will try to keep-in-line with the Fraymotifs we actually do see, and interpret them in a way that matches the tone with the rest of the ones I design, because its 7-technically-8 out of 9.5 thousand, and I don’t see you out here doing this.

Following that is the fun part -- the name. Fraymotifs are music-themed, and thus have music-themed name schemes. Ivories in the Fire (Heir of Breath + Knight of Time), Mixolydian Maelstrom (Heir of Breath + Seer of Light), Fantasia's Inhale (Heir of Breath + Witch of Space), and Adagio Redshift (Witch of Space + Knight of Time), to name a few (that’s actually all of the named ones in-world). So keeping with that theme, I will come up with equally badass and/or ethereal names for the other 9.5k. Such as: Assylum Dal Segno (Knight of Time + Seer of Mind), Sostenuto Spotlight (Knight of Light + Mage of Heart), Flash Sforzando (Page of Light + Mage of Heart), etc.

Preemptively addressing my personal biases

Hussie outright stated that before the events of [S] Collide, Fraymotifs were a piece of throwaway worldbuilding, and are referenced as a hard magic system, despite the fact that it is anything but. This frustrates me to my core, like, fricking, for example: Both of June and Rose’s Fraymotifs shown in [S] Collide can be interpreted as the aforementioned Mixolydian Maelstrom, which is just varying forms of attacking with wind and lasers. And Dave and Terezi’s (Assylum Dal Segno) can both be interpreted as allowing a Target refuge in another, better timeline, because they both either bring Dirk back or send themselves to another timeline and both are actually part of the same series of events. So that’s all fine. But. The Lalondes. Rose and Roxy have two separate Fraymotifs together, one where Roxy does a Voidey thing and removes the nonexistence of a bunch of perfectly generic objects in a laser-cube made by Rose, and another where they just do a bunch of Aspect-related attacks.

In fact, a lot of Rose’s powers seem to just be “lighty magic attack:” when that is far from her role as a Seer, and goes against that whole “leading motive” theme I brought up earlier. It seems that she was just around to do laser stuff. Which is cool! In a fast-paced epic fight sequence! I liked it! But I want to get a bit more creative with these, moving past the “they hit them a lot with their Aspect” for those Classpects where they can do so much more than that. I said that canon was something to be messed with, and I’m going to tweak things as I see necessary because there are 7-technically-8 that are shown out of the 9.5 thousand I’m going to do so who cares.

Another thing I want to bring up goes more into the Classpecting side of Fraymotif design. In the 12 Aspects, they are aligned along the Time-Space axis, but something that I rarely see focused on is the Breath-Blood axis. Time and Space rule the physical world, but Breath and Blood rule the nonphysical world in a way I find really cool and interesting. I see Breath and Blood operating not only under their commonly understood Freedom/Bonds mechanics, but also messing around with causality. I think that Blood is very fate/destiny-coded and that Breath is very unrestricted from such matters. Karkat and Kankri both had a personal arc based around the fate/destiny of their people, and feeling responsible for it when all that got messed up, while Tavros and Rufioh both had a personal arc about becoming detached from who they were “supposed to be”, June especially becoming fully detached from deterministic causality with her retcon powers being able to mess with past events without dooming the timeline (and her being removed from who she was due to that broblorone making her transfem). You may be thinking “Oh, but Doom is for outcomes and fate” but really only with destruction and bad endings. Hope and Rage deal with positive/negative emotion but Heart does ALL emotion indiscriminately. When chopping up the whole universe into just 12 pieces (13 if you count Piss. (I do not count Piss.)), there’s going to be some overlap on account of there being more than 12 Things in the universe. Them’s the breaks.

Last thing here is the names. A lot of people, and I mean a LOT of people, look at Hero-specific names as being taken from a pool of words that have to deal with their Aspect. Like, a lot of people will interpret the name Ivories in the Fire (Heir of Breath + Knight of Time) as having the components "Ivories" + "in the Fire", where "Ivories" is a "Breathy word" and "in the Fire" is a "Timey word" and will just toss them around until there are like 50 "X in the Fire" Fraymotifs. I'm not a huge fan of that. Another way this is seen is in Land names, where people will read "Land of Maps and Treasure" and will automatically throw in "Maps" into a big grab-bag of Light words and "Treasure" into a separate bag of Thief words, as if this was a cheap flash name generator instead of a deeply specific thematic choice. Perhaps I'm being melodramatic (very real chance there), but I think that each name should be about what the Fraymotif does more than what it's made of. "Redshift" isnt specifically a Space word or a Time word, it's a phenomenon that is deeply tied to both Space and Time, and Adagio is a reference to the time-slowing effect of the Fraymotif. Obviously, with 9.5 thousand to come up with, there will be a lot of names that are similar, but they'll be on a case-by-case basis.

How in the world will I go about posting all of this?

There’s over ten thousand of these damn things, so I will come up with a whole bunch in one go, and make that one post, tagged appropriately ofc. These posts will be queued, so there will be at most 1 per day, and any asks will be answered as soon as I get them, skipping the queue (unless your request is in the queue, then you gotta wait :p).

Alright, thanks for reading, again please ask anything in the askbox, and I hope you enjoy my handiwork B)

There will be many Fraymotifs per post on some posts, like 15+ 12 max, so there will be at least 1.7-ish 2 years before this blog is full-up on Fraymotifs. Wack.

Edit: fixed the stats

THE SHIFT

When I started this project, I used Ouroborista's class symmetries to do my classpect analysis [Witch/Sylph, Knight/Maid, Page/Heir, Mage/Seer, Thief/Rogue, Prince/Bard]. However, even though Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon is dubiously canon at best, there have been some reveals as to truly canon details such as the Page's verbiage "one who fights to preserve" that do impact the symmetries I use. Fraymotifs posted before THE SHIFT follow the old pairings, while the new ones use [Witch/Heir, Knight/Page, Sylph/Maid, Mage/Seer, Thief/Rogue, Prince/Bard]. I also will have updated the old ones under the #THE SHIFT tag.

Edit: added THE SHIFT section

EXO "Obsession" theory part 1

Lucky One Theory | the Cube

• Let's first dive into the main theme before exploring other details. Obsession makes us wonder whether X-EXO are evil clones. On the contrary Baek mentioned something similar in their behind the scenes video (pls click on individual screencaps to read):

The boys are involved in this good v. evil fight as we know. Now that we have the theme of alter egos confirmed I wanted to mention there is a song on the album called Jekyll (지킬) the idea is borrowed from R. L. Stevenson's book and makes it easy to connect the dots. The lyrics of the song make it clear about the main plot of this era so we move on...

• Chen plays a game of chess with his evil counterpart. At the end there are certain pieces that remain - knight, knight, 4 pawns idk how this is valid since if a king is in checkmate the game ends conventionally.

I believe Chen and his counterpart are the knights. Now knights + pawns = 6 members in comeback. This might mean that Chen is in control and knows things which the other 5 don't since they are just "pawns" for the time being. He is also the only good guy remaining or smth out of these 6 and others might have been corrupted or defeated??!

I believe Chën won.

There are multiple footages of their chess board too: it might mean each of their actions is being watched by the RF. But I'm still not sure why they have the screens in their room (since Chen has the power of Thunder which could roughly go with electricity?). Is Chen keeping an eye on Chën?

• Moving on.. Chanyeøl is the one in center when the song begins. He is also the only member with eye-catching continuous patterns on his outfit. Something about Chanyeol seems a little off. I have started thinking of reasons for his behavior and vulnerability which I'll surely discuss another time :)

Clearly they emphasize how Chanyeøl is the leader of X-EXO or smth, like the most destructive force. In the mv all of X-EXO (except Sehůn) glow red but we see that only Chanyeol (special emphasis on red eyes) looks like that. This makes me think he is consumed by his evil ego:

Chanyeol and his X-EXO counterpart engage in a physical battle using fire:

At one point Chanyeøl is engulfed by fire as they fight and later we see Chanyeol radiating flames. He is also seen on the red side of the ground, encircled by the fire - hence it is clear he loses the fight. More explained about the fate of doubles in part 2

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR!! 😀

• Kai is a biker and his scenes with Kāi reminds us of bullfighting. In the first gif below, we see how Kai tries to dodge his matador counterpart:

There are negative versions of Kai and his evil counterpart (maybe they fight in two different worlds since we know Kai teleports like in MAMA). I'm unsure who wins the fight since both appear with subdued expressions in inverted colors.

I'll also mention that in the performance video of EXO AND X-EXO, Kāi and Kai interact:

• In this picture we see there are 12 rooms → for the original 12 "legends". Only 6 members took part in this comeback so the other rooms are empty (Luhan Tao and 🥴 belong to the rooms below but were trapped in the maze). Notice how Kai is in the center of the OT9 rooms — he is the key to something. From Japanese, Kai translates to Recovery in English: it could mean protection and restoration of the tree of life to its prosperous state since "tree of life and the heart slowly grew dry" in MAMA intro. This is something very important to revert to as we unravel their clues to the story.

•We see exo playing video games/reading comics in some teaser photos of other releases, the vcr from their EXplOration Dot (Day 1, Seoul) and even Power mv and merch reflects this vibe - which makes sense that the battle at such a physical level is fictitious (and being endured mentally). These might be dreams the boys have after the RF drugged them or possibly influenced them in some way.

Another thing is that the drugs induced by the RF (Lucky One) might have smth to do with the creation of alter egos. The boys try to fight the evil versions of themselves but they were created so that RF takes control over the good Exo who foil their plans and to exploit their powers.

_oh well that's all for now, I will create a part 2 to incorporate it all. Have a nice day!!⭐

The Player as a character: Deltarune’s route order and the Player’s motivations.

It looks like I'm not allowed to post this on r/deltarune(It's been three days since my modmail! Let me in!!!!), so I've made a Tumblr account for this lol.

The Player as a Character

In the genocide route of Undertale, the game assumes you’ve already completed the True Pacifist ending. The Genocide player has already worked for the best ending these characters could have. They love the characters and the world of Undertale, yet they chose to commit to genocide route regardless. It’s not about you being evil for the sake of being evil. It’s about curiosity, completionism, and a desire for new content at any cost. The player commits to the Genocide route because they love the world of Undertale. So much so that they commit to this needlessly cruel and boring slog for the sake of getting more time with it. A perverted sentimentality, as Flowey puts it.

The Genocide route makes a lot of assumptions about what a player is thinking and feeling. This isn’t a problem inherently, even the best writing can only increase the probability that a player responds in the way you want. And I do think the Genocide route is so fondly remembered because it correctly guesses what the vast majority of players are thinking as they play. But it’s important to keep in mind that the motivations and thoughts of the Player can be different from what specific players are actually thinking. It’s actually not uncommon for negative reviews of Undertale, often spoiled on the endings before they played the game, to view the Genocide and True Pacifist routes as a wonky implementation of an Infamous style morality system.

Deltarune fans are in a strange place because we have no idea what the motivations of the Player are supposed to be in the weird route. We have hints and implications, but nothing substantial. That being said, based on how Toby Fox wrote Undertale and assuming basic narrative principles are being followed, I think we can get a pretty solid idea of why a player would want to torment a deer for 20 plus hours.

Shadow Crystal route

I doubt it will be controversial to claim that the intended route order of Deltarune is normal —> Shadow crystal —> Weird. The Chapter 3 crystal is almost impossible to get blind and the SWORD route is how most players will find out about the weird route. The Crystal route is extremely explicit about the Player’s motivations for doing so: They want to be free. ______________________________________________________________

Break free from what? I think it’s safe to assume the Player would want to break free from the prophecy. Given Chapter 4’s entire deal, it’s pretty clear why the Player would be motivated to do this. Whatever the final prophecy is, it is going to be tragic. Any reasonable player would want to prevent it.  ______________________________________________________________

AND THEN, WHEN ALL HOPE

IS LOST FOR THE TALE.

THE FINAL TRAGEDY UNVEILS.

TO SAVE THE WORLDS,

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY.

[Line destroyed by Susie before it could be seen by the player]

ONLY THEN,

WILL THE WORLDS BE SAVED.

[Third Sanctuary, Chapter 4]

______________________________________________________________

Now, at this point, a thought occurs.

“Will Toby Fox really make every player beat the knight to get the good ending?”

The answer is yes: You must become a gamer like Berdly or Susie dies horribly.

In all seriousness, I do actually think the answer is yes, but it’s complicated. For a moment, let’s step back and think of how the Player who has completed the normal route will respond to doing the crystal route for the first time.

Chapter 3

Chapters 1 and 2 don’t have much to talk about. Jevil and Spamton connect to themes of the story that are already evident for first time players and are pretty easy to find blind. Although you could argue that Spamton’s deal is given more emphasis when the Player fully understands why Kris feels trapped and why breaking from the “strings” is so important. What’s important is that during the crystal route in Chapter 3, the player will be at a “low point”. They just failed to help Spamton and John Mantle is laughing about how we won’t get what we want out of this.  ______________________________________________________________

That's why you're searching for them, aren't you?

The SHADOW CRYSTALs...

... and the SHADOW MANTLE that I'm holding!

Do you honestly think it'll get you what you want…?

[Intro to Shadow mantle holder fight, Chapter 3] ______________________________________________________________

Chapter 3’s crystal boss is where things get very, very interesting. The player will fight the knight like in the normal route and die instantly. But this time, a surprise ally appears: Mr. Wing Ding Gaster himself. He can’t help much, but he makes the process of fighting the knight so much less tedious. Plus he gives moral support. Genuinely I would have quit if not for his pep talk when dying to the last attack. 

The Shadow crystals also have some small conveniences not given to other elements of the game. The shadow boss crystals and equipment are given out for free if you defeat the boss in another save file. The chapter select menu tracks if you’ve gotten a crystal. I assume that these conveniences will be diegetically attributed to Gaster. And I think it’s reasonable to assume that players could be given other conveniences to make collecting them easier. My main man Gaster could make sure that even non-gamers can beat the knight.

Well, "beat" the knight. No matter what, we get swooned in the cutscene by that roaring fraud. If Chapter 2 and 3 get across anything, it's that the player won't get what they originally wanted out of this route. They have no way of "breaking free" and changing the prophecy.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4’s crystal route is especially interesting to me because at this point in time, it comes across a sneak peak into the future of Deltarune. But given the route order, this is intended for a player who has already seen the normal route ending. Looking at Gerson’s comments from the perspective of the Player, things get weird really quickly. ___________________________________________________________________

Chapter 5, The Field of Pink and Gold.

The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy.

...What happens next?

Geheheh! Who knows?

There was only one more chapter... After that,

It all stopped.

[Gerson Fight, Chapter 4] ______________________________________________________________

Firstly, Gerson’s comments on how there are only six written chapters of Lord of the Hammer, an obvious parallel to what happens in Deltarune. Now, if you’re a truly dedicated Deltarune theorist, you might notice that six is a different number than seven. What’s important is that this would make zero sense if the Player has played seven chapters.  ______________________________________________________________

That next book, it never did get written.

The story, it became so grand, so overwhelming,

Some say it swallowed up the author himself.

The ones who could write the next, the youth, the pen was lying there for them to pick up.

To make the next page.

...they never did.

But you, my dear? I see a story lit up in your eyes...

Burnin' bright... Burnin' black... Burnin' up everything.

[Gerson Fight, Chapter 4] ______________________________________________________________

Secondly, Gerson laments on how his work has not been continued. The youth didn’t pick up the pen and write the next chapter. In the light world, Father Alvin makes it clear that he was too afraid to continue the story because he didn’t want to ruin his father’s legacy. The adults in the light world have failed because they haven’t moved on past the “ending”. But Susie is different. Susie wants to write the “next chapter”. The seventh chapter.  ______________________________________________________________

[Gerson] The bell's ringin' now. Seems we've reached the final rounds.

[Gerson] So... how do you think it all ends?

[Gerson] No, how do you want it to end?

[Susie] An ending, huh...

[Susie]... If I could choose I guess...

[Susie] I wouldn't have an ending!

[Susie] It's just better if stuff just... goes on forever, right?

[Gerson Fight, Chapter 4] ______________________________________________________________

This, I believe, is the central theme of Deltarune. There is only one “ending”; there’s no way of breaking the prophecy and avoiding the final tragedy. Spamton, Ralsei and the Knight make it very clear that we can’t “break free”. But that’s okay. We can write the next chapter and carry on. We can go past the “ending” and write a new story. Given this dialogue is crystal route exclusive, I think the crystal route is the way to give Susie the opportunity to write that “next chapter”. 

What does this all mean in terms of the story itself? I believe that the normal route will end in chapter 6. My main man Gaster will help us collect the shadow crystals, possibly making it easier for normal people to beat the harder bosses. Seam will use the five shadow crystals to make something that helps us unlock the new chapter. Susie will choose how the story continues. The crystal route will give the characters a future in a way the normal route can’t. 

Weird route

Originally, theorists tended to assume the player was motivated by the pursuit of glitches and secrets. A reasonable assumption when we only had chapter 2. But given this detail in the weird route, I think the Player will have a different motivation.  ______________________________________________________________

I… I want to.

I want to believe again. 

I want to believe… it can change!

That there isn’t just one ending!

But…

What would that be? 

If there was something else, what would it be? 

And how do we know

It wouldn’t be something even worse?

[Ralsei, Chapter 4 weird route] ______________________________________________________________

The genocide route in Undertale is the anthesis of the True Pacifist route. Instead of being kind, you do some rather rude things. Even though you rejected Flowey’s ideology when you fought him in neutral and Pacifist, you embrace his ideology in genocide as you learn to view Undertale as just a collection of 1s and 0s.

What is the motivation of the antagonists is Deltarune? We don’t know for sure, but thematic ideas are pointing towards a specific answer. Tenna believes he can only be happy if things go back to the way they were. Asgore, the likely antagonist of chapter 5, believes he can fix his marriage with Toriel when he really can’t. Given the Knight’s connections to Dess, I think it’s reasonable to assume Carol and Kris are doing something to try to reverse whatever tragedy happened to her. They commit immoral deeds in order to “change the ending” of what happened to Dess.  

A weird route player wants to change the “ending”. They will be unable to move on from the final tragedy, now in the Player’s past. They’ll be unable to accept whatever Susie’s new future is because of what happened to a character they genuinely care about. They’ll do whatever it takes in order to undo what happened. 

I also think it’s also possible that we’re quite literally following the antagonists' plans here.  There’s been a lot of talk on how the prophecy is “supposed” to go, with Noelle and possibly the vessel being the “original” heroes before the prophecy gets all messed up. Given what we have so far, I do think this is somewhat accurate. 

Heroes of the Prophecy 

A minor detail from chapter 1 theorizing is that the second voice in the vessel creation cutscene has a more distinct voice in the JP translation. One similar to Chara from Undertale. Now, discussion about if Kris is supposed to be Chara from Undertale tends to come attached with a bunch of third entity and evil possession baggage, but let’s forget all of that and simplify things as much as possible. The Soul is supposed to be given a vessel. If this was successful, the vessel would have been the first hero. This process is interrupted by someone who sounds similar to Chara. When we wake up, our soul is in Kris. Someone with the exact same familial arrangement as Undertale Chara. In chapter 4, we find out that the roaring gang intentionally sought out the soul for their own plans. I think it’s safe to say that the roaring gang manipulated events for Kris to be the first hero and have been successful in doing so as of Chapter 4. 

Following Chapters 3 and 4, an obvious question arises. Why make the Chapter 1 and 2 fountains? There was no attempt at getting a lightner to sacrifice. Why target Noelle and Berdly in chapter 2? The roaring fraud must be terrified of Berdly if they’re trying to get him out of the picture before they start their real plans. 

Speaking seriously, the common element in both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 is Noelle. Noelle is “supposed” to go get the chalk with Kris in chapter 1 before Berdly and Susie mess that up. It’s implied that someone intentionally removed the chalk from Alphys’ classroom. Plus the practical reality that a dark world in the public school supply closet can’t be a secret for super long, meaning it was probably made shortly before the events of the story. I also think it’s important that after Noelle doesn’t enter the supply closet in Chapter 1, the roaring knight makes a dark fountain that only targets her and Berdly in chapter 2. I think it’s very likely that the first two chapters are the roaring gang’s attempt to make Noelle the second hero. Unfortunately for the Roaring knight, Susie was invited to the library last minute. 

In Chapter 3, Tenna is an obvious reflection of Kris’ thoughts and desires. Like Kris, he wants a return to how the Holidays and Dreemurs were before Asgore drunk drove into Dess. Also like Kris, he’s directly following the Knight’s orders until the end of the chapter.  ______________________________________________________________

The Time Has Come For Noelle To Realize Her Own Strength

Her Own Will Her Own Determination

Focusing Into Her Blade, She Will Create A Neo Dark Fountain 

Then Another, Then Another

[Giga Queen Fight, Chapter 2] ______________________________________________________________

In Chapter 2, Queen is obsessed with making Noelle realize her own strength. And when Noelle realizes that strength, Noelle can create a world in which she can be happy. Queen being Queen, her strategy is a bit… messy. But her stated goal is to turn Noelle into someone who can use her power effectively. In other words, she wants to make Noelle become stronger. ______________________________________________________________

[Queen] What's... Wrong... Noelle?

[Queen] I Know It Would... Make You... Happy

[Queen] Or... Should I, With The Last 1% Of My Battery...

[Queen] Crush Susie Into 8... Bits?

[Noelle] Leave...

[Noelle] Leave Susie ALONE!!

[Giga Queen defeated, Chapter 2] ______________________________________________________________

In the normal route, Noelle rejects this. Queen can’t separate her own selfish desires from her genuine hopes for Noelle, which causes her to come across as controlling and disingenuous. Noelle refuses to follow Queen and chooses specifically Susie over Queen’s plans. I’ve always felt a little meh about this dialogue leaving out Kris because it once again emphasizes Noelle’s crush for Susie in a chapter that already really emphasizes it. But with the weird route in mind, I think it makes a lot more sense.

If the weird route is about following the roaring gang’s plans to return things to the way they were before Dess’ tragedy, then Susie can have no part in it. She’s the new girl. An outsider. In the weird route, Noelle does what Queen “wanted” as she becomes stronger. She unknowingly “chooses” Queen over Susie. In chapter 4, she “chooses” Kris instead of Susie as her date to the festival. As of chapter 4, weird route Susie can no longer be the second hero because love is no longer finding her. Just as a roaring gang wanted all along. 

I strongly believe that the weird route will be a complete rejection of Susie and the “new chapter” she plans to write. In the same vein of the Player accepting Flowey’s ideology in genocide, the Player will attempt to fix the past by any means necessary. All to undo the final tragedy and possibly even the tragedy of what happened to Dess. Even though we’ve already seen the best future these characters can have. 

Conclusion:

In summary, these are my big theories about the future of Deltarune.

The normal route will end in chapter 6

The crystal route will unlock chapter 7, with my main man Gaster making it easier for normal people. 

 Susie is the thematic core of Deltarune, being the one who gets to write the next chapter after we give her the opportunity

The weird route is a rejection of Susie, breaking the game and burning bridges in order to change the ending and prevent the tragedy.

The roaring gang wanted Kris and Noelle to be the first and second heroes respectively. They fail to make Noelle the second hero in the normal route, but we help them succeed in the weird route.

Overall, I think Deltarune's broad structure is a deconstruction of games with a “true ending”. There’s plenty of thematic ideas about trying to fix the past versus moving on to a better future, most obvious in Tenna’s arc in Chapter 3. Gerson’s fight especially is very specific in that the “solution” to the prophecy is writing more story, not changing the story that’s already written. By giving the characters a future, we can make them happy. Even if we can’t make things perfect. 

Loose threads/remaining questions/personal concerns

Eram/Mantle has a comment about how Kris is seeking out the shadow crystals for their own personal enjoyment. The breaking the freedom element of the crystal route is so airtight that I didn’t think it was worth mentioning, but I’m not sure what these comments are supposed to mean. Is it supposed to even be a projection on the player’s motives?  

This theory assumes that the player is pursuing the weird route for well intentioned reasons. While I do think that’s accurate, I’m a little wary on how the consequences of the route will balance the “success” in stopping one or two tragedies. The sword dungeon seems to imply that a shit ton of characters will have to die for the route to succeed. Even if “used up” doesn’t mean death, you still have the implied deaths of Asgore, Undyne, and Alphys. I doubt Toby will want to make it a direct trolley problem of killing four or more tertiary characters in order to save one or two characters we really care about. But having the weird route “fail” feels like a bit of a cop out. 

If the weird route is meant to align with the antagonists’ plans to prevent/undo the tragedies in order to return things to how they were, it is a little strange to have Asgore die in the weird route. I think I'm broadly correct but this one detail keeps bugging me. Maybe Coma Asgore will live in the Dreemur house while Toriel takes care of him? That’s the only way I see him getting back into that house lol. 

How in the fuck did Kris Deltarune stop Gaster from putting our soul in the vessel? How did the roaring gang even find out about Gaster? He’s such a spooky across space and time entity that it’s hard to imagine him getting tricked by an enby gremlin. Undertale magic logistics are weird and convoluted as hell, so I’m confident it’s possible writing wise, but I get why some people are so resistant to second voice theory when it claims Gaster can get dunked on by a teenager. 

This theory does imply that the roaring gang is responsible for the Castle Town Fountain. I can’t possibly fathom the reason for this. That being said, the idea that Ralsei was created according to the Roaring Gang’s ideal version of the prophecy tracks quite well with what he thinks the second hero “should” equip.  

I’m not sure how the “don’t forget” idea plays into this. “Don’t forget, but move on” could be a strong thematic idea, but I have a hard time getting anything more solid when we aren’t sure what we’re supposed to be remembering.
