If you visit Noelle before Castle Town..

Edit: it was shared on Twtr and people asked if it was real, it is!

Go visit Noelle first. When it's done and it started to rain, go back to your house. Tenna will be waiting for you. Worst part? If you do not do that or visit castle town at all, Tenna will be GONE. Susie saved him last second.

Hi I just wanted to say I appreciate you creating affectionate queerplatonic/platonic content with deep bonds so much. I am also romance-repulsed (not always, but sometimes) and being in fandom spaces attached to characters is genuinely really hard sometimes because all of it is romantic/sexual. It makes me feel very alone as silly as that sounds. Your content really resonates with me and makes me feel seen as an aromantic person so I appreciate it so much. I hope you keep creating.

reallt late i don’t check my inbox often 😭😭😭 YEAH i get that a lot!! i’ve felt the same way for a while it gets really isolating… creating the content i want to see can be hard but it really helps :)) im really glad it can reach people and im happy it means sm to you

my feelings on romance and shipping are kinda weird bc. lovey dovey stuff appeals to me sooo much but the kind everyone focuses on is the one i specifically do not like!! in a way i do like “romantic” things as long as they’re not in romantic contexts yknow . being aro is awesome lots of love hope ur doing well

loveless flowey is so sooo important to me. as an autistic loveless aro with ptsd the idea of post pacifist flowey being able to accept himself as who he has become instead of feeling that his existence is somehow wrong is so touching. he should be allowed to be okay with being flowey. like the whole... Thing. is that what loveless aros feel and think is consistently deemed as something inhuman, and it's extremely isolating (please read this if ur confused on lovelessness <3). flowey thinks he can't possibly ever understand or be the same as everyone else because of his trauma and lovelessness and it's understandable, especially in a world that claims monsters are literally made of compassion and love etc

flowey clearly cares about those around him from the way we've seen him interact with others, but it's not really something he can personally view as "love". he struggles to understand himself and the way he feels about who he used to be-- the "old" him who "could" love. the idea of loving anyone is so tied to the past that he already views as separate from who he's become, that he can't really understand what love is even Supposed to feel like anymore.

i really want him to be okay with who he is now even if it means not ever being able to feel the way he did before his trauma, because that's the reality of it. we can't just make the way we feel go away. flowey is constantly punishing himself for the way he feels and him saying that he did the right thing even if things didn't turn out perfect is suuuuch a huge step. he has to make amends with himself and allow himself to just. live without punishing himself just for existing

i could talk at length about how a lot of his actions during his resets were likely a result of subconscious self destructive behaviors and control issues due to trauma BUT that's not what this is about i just think. loveless flowey. being able to say he's loveless and not viewing it as a shameful thing that somehow makes him less than anyone else. is so So important. it's like buddy u just understand the world differently because u have trauma u gotta work through and thats okay

pretty much i just wish that lovelessness wasn't something thats looked down on just because we don't feel what we're "supposed" to feel in the way others feel it or whatever allo people say. some people are aro some people loveless some people are aplatonic and we shouldn't condemn anyone for it because it's not something that Should be condemned. it's just how some people are and i adore the idea of flowey just allowing himself to Be

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."
