So yeah I’d like to talk a little about writing Shade and my feelings on my own character.

So yeah I’d like to talk a little about writing Shade and my feelings on my own character. Those of you who have read his profile know he is sometimes an emotionally abusive character. I didn’t get to showcase that to its full extent yet here in Spirale(because I’m trying to get this guy friends and a ship!), but, maybe you’re wondering why I would write a character like this, and how I do it. I’d like to preface the whole thing by saying yes, I was emotionally abused in my childhood, so I DO understand that abuse is real and not just a funsy writing time. I’m away from that situation now, though, so don’t go worrying. I guess it made me want to... explore evil, a bit. I think a lot of people want to. We’re intrigued by the how and why, and we all want a justification for the wrongs we’ve been dealt, right? I grew a fascination for the “bad” characters, or at least the anti-heroes. And then, as I’ve said in meme responses, I wanted to see a villain who was the main character--it was something I hadn’t seen done at that age. So I started to craft Shade. You know what I looked to for inspiration? My abuser. I wanted someone who was... cruel selfish, but since it was to be the main character he needed to be charismatic and hard to hate, I thought. Those were traits that I thought my abuser fit rather well. That was the original Shade. He’s lost some of his charisma over the years, haha. I began gaining darker thoughts myself as my abuse continued into my teenage years. If I must be honest, they were thoughts of killing, thoughts of running away, thoughts of suicide. Anything to make the pain stop... And in some ways, this helped me to craft Shade as well, my very own evils. I grew short tempered and bitter and it became easy to see what kinds of reactions formed just out of desperation. But for me anything beyond an attitude was fantasy--for Shade, he was a take-action kind of character. He could do and say the things I once wished I could. Anyway, my depression and misanthropy did come to a head before I began a healing process. I’m okay now. Mostly recovered from the damage. But because I can remember all the pain I went through, I can kind of... “empathize,” with most anything, even the people and lines of thought that go against my beliefs. This too makes it easier to write Shade. The only thing I’m NOT sure that I write realistically is that Shade is arrogant. I’ve never been close to anyone with the kind of self-esteem he has--even my selfish abuser did not have an ego. So, that’s a part of him I’d like to try to keep developing and make sure I’m writing realistically. So yeah. I guess you could say, Shade(and other villainous muses) used to be my coping method. Nowadays, I still just like jerk characters regardless of anything that happened. And like I said--I’m away from the situation, I’ve been through healing, so don’t worry about me. I think I’ve grown into a fine adult.

starter for ✦ ( @thedarksacrament )

      To be honest – having assigned living spaces was still one of the oddest part of having been brought back to life and brought to this island. Rantaro had adjusted now. He’d been here for just over a month, so it was doable. It was simply… odd.

      He was aware he shared this place with others. He simply hadn’t run into any of them thus far.

      And since he’d been here about a month, perhaps even the oddity of that had finally settled in. He was starting to come to terms with the fact that he would likely never run into another one of his roommates. Or, at least, that’s what he thought while he was working on making breakfast. At least… until he heard someone else in the building.

      “A-Ah… Hello?” Rantaro calls – despite himself. Though he was used to the solitude he’d come to have in the house, he knew others lived here. And if they were going to live together, it would be nice to meet the others. It just often seemed that ether he was out, they were out, or they all seemed to primarily stay in their rooms. “… would you like breakfast?”

      Okay. So maybe not the best way to meet someone Calling out to them when you only just heard them about the place. However – Rantaro had come here from a KILLING GAME which had ended for him about as quickly as it had started. He’d died prior to coming here, and? This whole island had managed to be both a matter of curiosity and paranoia for him. At the very least, now that he was given the opportunity, he would like to know what his roommates are like.

At first, the dark-haired man only poked his head out from around the corner to peak at his roommate. Like Rantaro, he never put much mind to it--he’d met a few of his roommates but never gotten close to them or otherwise held any meaningful thoughts towards them. Honestly, he only tended to come back to his home when he needed alone time, given that Shade lacked the need for sleep or meals. It was on that note that he was tempted to hide away back in his room again and pretend he hadn’t heard the teenager’s offer. Yet he refused to become a recluse just because he disliked most people; such types were pathetic. Even a negative interaction was better than none at all. “Depends on how good you are at cooking,” Shade commented as he walked into the room, surveying his surroundings.

@thedarksacrament

Fushi still wasn’t sure how most of his powers were taken away from him and yet his immortality was still intact and thriving within this island. While he didn’t stay conscious when he died as he did before, Fushi’s regeneration was even quicker, body and mind both fully recovered within a day’s time; more specifically, when he awoke in the confinements of his bed after he attempted to kill himself. It bought him to wonder about those around him, wonder whether or not they too, had some form of immortality on this island. 

Perhaps they were all Knockers, even.

Forced to investigate, Fushi approached the first person he saw that bought a sense of doom to him. His ability to sense how another was feeling came in handy at a time like this, and the man before him didn’t come across as any normal human Fushi has met. Again, he could be a Knocker, or have a Knocker in his arm, kill him in an instant, take away his memories as the island did his powers–

Stop thinking about that. Ask the man a question, anything that gave the man an idea as to why Fushi wrapped his hand around the other’s wrist.

“Can you.. die?”

The motion was instant and with a wild urgency, pulling his arm away from the hands that beheld it. It wasn’t necessarily due to the touch itself. It was the words that frightened Shade. Had someone seen through his disguise--figured out he was immortal? Worse, a god? “What are you talking about? Everyone dies.” Of course, the nature of his immortality was probably different on this island. Normally Shade’s immortality meant that he couldn’t die from most normal means, but those methods that were effective would put an end to him just like any other. Here, people who passed away seemed to wake up the next day in tact. Shade was relatively certain it was true for everyone who was kidnapped here, but he was still afraid to test it. Still ever afraid of the nothingness... Best to put that out of mind for now. But perhaps the kid was asking about that phenomenon that kept the city’s residents alive. It seemed more reasonable than someone figuring out his secret. “You’re new here, aren’t you?”

Send ☘ for a compliment from my muse

[thedarksacrament-blog]

🍻

Two of them drank. Only one was becoming drunk.Shade’s body wasn’t exactly the same as a human’s even if it looked like it. In short, it stopped him from being able to get drunk--sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse. Today, he thought, it was something in between. It was amusing to watch his companion lose his mind, but it probably would’ve seemed funnier if he lost his too, right?And, while a small complaint, this was something that his mind would not let go of: this egg nog was disgusting, and he suffered it with little reason.Oh. Ichimokuren was talking to him, and Shade quickly ceased his inner monologue to pay attention.He was confessing how much he missed someone, though Shade wasn’t sure that it was someone in Spirale until the Wind God took out his phone and began pressing random buttons, convinced that he was now a master of the device. The phone, on the other hand, complained loudly with its beeping.“Hey,” Shade said, “why don’t we go get more egg nog? Maybe we’ll find your friend at the store.” It would be more entertaining than watching someone break an expensive electronic.“Yesss,” his friend agreed, “And maybe we should get stuff for s’mores! Or we could go caroling. I’d love to hear you sing,” he began, and continued on about how singing made humans happy or something. Shade opened his mouth to refuse, but then shut it. The least he could do was pretend to be drunk.

Sand wasn’t out in the streets because he wanted to be a hero, and he wasn’t out because he wanted to kill. He was outside because he couldn’t stay still in anyplace for long, and being inside houses was not what he normally did anyway.

He did have to be careful, and keep to streets and places he didn’t know as well. He couldn’t fight the ghosts at all, but if zombies did come towards him he could cut them down with the right strikes. This didn’t save him from getting hurt but normally he would shake off any pain if it was something as small as a scratch. Though he did note that scratches from these zombies burned longer, and itched long before they should.

He had been checking one of the few light scratches that he had gotten before, trying to see if he could figure out why they would even itch so much. Did the zombies have some kind of unseen power? Though he didn’t think on it long when he heard someone speak out louder than they needed to.

He looked up at Shade, meeting the others eyes. His own didn’t show any emotion to the other’s words, though they almost became a light kind of glare when Shade said it was an order. Sand didn’t follow Orders just like that, and huffed while letting some white spoke show up around him.

“Heh, whos this thinking they can order us around? I say you leave him to the zombies.“ Latn is the one who speaks up, and Sand at the moment doesn’t know if he agrees or not. He might dislike being ordered but he wasn’t going to leave someone behind unless he disliked them.

Shade raised a brow. “You befriended a miniature dragon?” Back in his world, dragons were a thing... once. The gods used to have dragon bodies, including himself. Fexreus had taken them away for more human-like bodies. In this dimension, Shade had seen several dragons, so he supposed it was a recurring theme throughout the worlds. Though, this was the smallest dragon he’d seen yet. There were more important things to contemplate though. Like Sand and friend’s obvious distaste for his command. “Whatever, forget about the dragon. I’m just trying to keep you safe,” he explained. “I used to lead people back in my world... it’s kind of my duty to protect people.” Did that contradict a lie he’d said before? it might have, but Sand wouldn’t be clever enough to remember.

@thedarksacrament​

Lotus had to begrudgingly leave his various hiding spots on this day to collect supplies. He was definitely not pleased and had no desire to deal with the nonsense of the city, as per usual. The presence of the zombies just made it fifty times worse.

Spying a nearby shop that must’ve had at least some of what he was looking for, he started heading towards it… until he saw a spectral sight in his vision. Someone he very much recognized, yet was unsure even currently existed in that form… someone he never wanted to see ever again. That white hair, those eyes that seemed to know everything…

“Ah, Lotus,” the geist of the White Mage echoed. “There’s much to do. Why are you wasting time around here?”

Lotus was sure it wasn’t the real thing – its appearance seemed too similar to the other ghosts he’d spotted. But did the city really have to mess with him like this? He cursed it in his head, looking around for what he could use to protect himself. These things were far more difficult for him to deal with than the zombies, he’d found…

Somehow, watching Lotus, Shade had almost been rooting for the undead. He always had a dreadful feeling when looking at the spirit-turned-human, and he didn’t like Lotus’s sass either. Things took an interesting turn when a phantom showed up. Its face reminded him OF Lotus, so it wasn’t hard to guess there was a familial connection. The Dark God’s lips turned up. It would be amusing to see the Geist possess Lotus. If just for a short amount of time, before it could do any damage to anyone else. Shade walked up behind Lotus, speaking up, “Surely you didn’t come here just to tell this child to get off his ass?”

Hey guys!

That’s everything that was sent prior to my starting the box! Barring, however, asks I need the input of other mods on.

One such case is reserves for the game Deltarune. While we’re still in discussion it’s likely that we will be barring the reservation and application of these characters for the time being, in part because there are many unknowns regarding its random, episodic release, potential demo status, and the character relations to existing characters in Undertale. We’ll give a definitive answer in the near future but for now please hold off on sending us asks regarding the series.

Have a good night!

– mod altair.

UPDATE (11/4): As it has been revealed by its creator that DELTARUNE is currently only a demo and things regarding its gameplay and characterization are subject to change upon its official release, we will be barring reserves and applications until the final version becomes available. 

Sorry for the inconvenience!
