one of my greatest fears is that Tumblr one day is going to shit itself and just post all of my drafts at once and you'll all be bombarded with hundreds of bad drawings and meandering, half-baked theories about nothing. which is not even beginning to mention shit like this:

The meaning of ten

In the save files menu, before chapter 1 completion, Gaster says "VERY INTERESTING" if we threaten to delete a save file 10 times. In the code, this is the THREAT variable.

Similarly, in the fight against Birdly in the Snowgrave route, we can use the ACT option "Wake" to increase Noelle's magic by 3, and this up to 10 times. In both cases, the limit is 10. But why?

Well, funny coincidence, in Japanese, the kanji for heaven is pronounced "ten".

Maybe you've already seen it, it's engraved on the golden Berdly statue.

So in a way, you could say... the sky’s the limit.

ive said it before but early 20-something royal scientist gaster is really funny like the underground definitely treats him like some kind of young hotshot disruptor he’s constantly being hounded by the press for photoshoots and interviews and there are like 5 super popular fanpages on undernet where people gossip about whether he’s single and write rpf about him and asgore, scrutinizing every photo of them together for signs of a secret relationship. STEM enrollments at hotland university increase significantly shortly after he’s hired. his aversion toward the press and unwillingness to speak on himself beyond the formalities of work only serves to further delight and enchant his fanbase. and when asgore, looking almost as heartbroken and defeated as he did when he lost his actual children, finally announces that the handsome young scientist has gone missing, the underground explodes with speculation and conspiracy. did he fall down? but no one just falls down at that age! was it suicide? was he overwhelmed by the constant pressures of celebrity intruding on his already stressful civic duties? was he a tragic figure of young adult workaholism, cut down before his time by a culture that fetishized his prodigious ambition and success at the expense of his health and needs as a young man? myriad thinkpieces are published in the coming weeks bemoaning the invasive institution of paparazzi reporting, and navel-gazing about the Cult of Youth, and criticizing the workplace culture, work-life balance, and mental health coverage for civil servants. meanwhile, more conspiracy-minded monsters wonder if it’s all a cover-up — was he “disappeared” after learning that the king was keeping them all down there on purpose, manufacturing myths about evil humans and unbreakable barriers as a means of control? or was he a spy for the humans, and his so-called “power plant” actually a mind-control device designed to inspire complacency? why even build a sustainable power plant if they’re all supposed to leave for the surface soon? or was the power plant actually a means to his ends — was he from another universe all along, one in which monster and human technologies were on par, and simply using his knowledge from that world to get ahead here? did he need the extra power to escape back into the multiverse? when the royal guard announces that they’ll no longer be actively investigating the case, a small group of civilians (mostly high school/college-aged kids and one very bored stay-at-home mom, all fanpage members) begin their own investigation, poring over records and releasing U-Tube (Underground Tube) videos and MonCasts (Monster Casts) with their findings and theories. the fanpages buzz with scandal: was he caught cheating on asgore and exiled — or killed — for it? he was last seen in public with someone they identified as a master’s student in the University’s music department — the oldest daughter of someone in the king’s inner circle. she’s subsequently forced to deactivate her undernet profile for a time to escape scrutiny and threats from hundreds of Royal Scienstans. of course within a few years interest wanes to nearly zero, attentions diverted to the hot, new up-and-comer — a shockingly soulful robot — though posts still crop up on imageboards now and then by monsters asserting that they caught a glimpse of him in the corners of their eyes while traveling through waterfall at night; or theorizing that the skeleton zealously calibrating puzzles in snowdin is not his “brother” but actually the missing scientist himself in disguise

sans never cries and hasn’t since he was a very small child. papyrus has very few inhibitions about crying and will do it in front of people while watching videos of baby animals or whatever. gaster bottles it up until he’s triggered by something and then he quickly but politely excuses himself, locks himself in the nearest private room, and sobs quietly into his hands until he’s dry heaving. then he comes back 15 minutes later as if nothing happened. his colleagues absolutely notice but no one ever says anything

i’ve seen some jp fans refer to gaster/mysteryman as “koshihikari” (a variety of short grain rice that’s popular in japan) and i have no idea what they mean by this but we have a big bag of koshihikari in our kitchen and now every time i cook it i think about Him

Apparently this series is called “Mother” in Japan. Nobody knows why each game was given completely original names in America – Earthbound, Undertale, etc.
