UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 7: Favorite Ending

Tmw you realize that neither Clover or Flowey actually get what they want—

Both after the exact same thing for completely different reasons, actively going against each other, regardless of intention or awareness.

It took a while for me to really...get Clover and Flowey's dynamic. But bringing these three endings together really helps solidify it for me.

There are LAYERS. Like, this BARELY scratches the surface XD So, I wanted to pay homage to it. Here's to toxicity *cheers*

And a whole week's work of art done! This was a lot, but it was so fun? Like, I felt my art improving in such a short time fsr?? It felt so nice to just..contribute to something, and it's made me feel less shy on the internet (Day 1 had me so anxious istg—)

All of this to say is I'm glad I did this, happy I gave this game a chance and made so many fun memories along the way. Happy Anniversay, UTY <3

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 6: Favorite Boss Fight

Several attempts at playing this without armor has not only strained my sanity, but has also really given me a good look at this fight and how it functions cuz it held me hostage for a LONG. TIME. (now Zenith Martlet phase 2 does that—)

The Moniqa from April would disagree, but I think it's really fun (I add Phase 2 in mild reluctance)!

[moniqa24]

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 5 (just pretend that it is): Favorite Moment

I've mentioned in a previous post that the vengeance route hits very different, and the Steamworks was one of the things that really reeled me in. Between the parallels (or perpendiculars, I guess??) between this and Neutral/Pacifist, Clover being more defiant (and shooting a generator ig—) and Axis' sudden revelation, one they were not aware of, suddenly shooting Clover up seven levels? It's empowering and chilling all at the same time (I'm sorry, Axis o7)

It's kinda hard to say that I like this moment overall? But, it is the one that stands out to me the most, at least in this route specifically.

A close second would probably the Echoes of Another scene (which is something I'm probably going to ramble about at some point if this keeps up—)

[moniqa24]

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 4 (Kinda—): Favorite Location

Trying to reflect on the most fun I've had playing this game? The Steamworks have given me the most fondness, I feel.

Meltdown is such a good track, too, really helped encapsulate that feeling of wonder and (re)discovery. I still love going through it now <3

[moniqa24]

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 3: Favorite OST Track

Not this track being the reason I've played this route like 4 times now—

It goes hard for encounters that only last like 2 turns max—

[moniqa24]

Dude this makes me so happy ;v;

Thank you!! It honestly means a lot to see this! :D

UTY ANNIVERSARY DAY 1: Favorite Character

(BRO, IT'S BEEN A YEAR???? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?)

So, I've been chronically on AO3 for quiiiite a biiiiit and it's come to my attention that there are a lotta good authors on there! So, I figured, what better way to show some appreciation than to sketch out some of my favorite UTY fanfictions that relate to said favorite character God,mywristhurts—.

This isn't really listed in any particular order, because I cannot in good conscience rank them all because I love them for different reasons. A brief review will be given for each story, so I hope you'll indulge me in this unwavering hyperfixation caused by this stupid neural virus who has yet to leave my brain why are they still there—

HERE THEY ARE! (Reviews are at the bottom so you can enjoy the art—)

CSO: What I enjoyed most about this take is how it deals with the consequences of Clover choosing their life over their mission. It is a conflict of interest for everyone involved, especially themself, and one can only handle that external (and internal) pressure for so long until they finally break.

JiB: Who woulda thought just being a liiiittle bit curious could cause a lot of development for our main cast? It's a fine blend of wholesome family moments and a lot, and I mean a LOT, of dying and Flowey ruining everything. It's honestly been fun trying to see what the domino effect is.

RtF: Slow burn, complex relationships, reconnecting of characters, and the wonder of a new life for two lost, revived souls. This has everything I enjoy out of a story and more. As I am not only a sucker for Kanako and Clover interacting, but also watching friction between characters, how it happened and why, and what eventually leads to something greater down the road. It's a beautiful read <3

DJ: Chara and Clover have a dynamic that is genuinely fun to explore, and I enjoy the banter these two have in this work a lot. They aren't friends yet, buuut, maybe they'll start to grow on each other. As long as Clover's alright with getting their body hosted from time to time—

(CURRENTLY ON HIATUS)

UB: I am a simple person. I see Clover & Kanako, I click—

It fuels my euphoria in ways I can't describe, they're so wholesome ;v; Between this and the lingering tension between Clover and Chujin, and the overarching conflict of interest, I am more than excited to see where this goes >:D

UTDR x DR: Jesus, take the wheel, but, like, what if it did—?

I just remember scrolling through YT and suddenly this came up on recommended and I just remember being baffled by the ending. Now there's a multiverse apparently, when did that happen?

I almost hate how invested I got in this very NOT series, but I find it hilarious out of context, which only makes it better—

Intervention: This one's a rollercoaster, man.

Don't think I've said "ow" in a fanfiction before reading this one. It's more than just Martlet dying, but the buildup to what leads to this point and the brutal aftermath is what makes this so strong for me. It's a dosage of pain, but it's well written, dangit—

SWM: I was close to adding "Calling Out to No One", but this tops it only because its longer, really. And provides a HEAVY DOSAGE of pain. I felt my heart ache like it did first seeing Pacifist, man, it hurt—

I enjoy a lot of DiamondDeputy's takes on the default scenes from all the different routes of UTY (they somehow made the worst scene in the game bearable, how'd they do that—) so this easily climbed to some of my top favorites, I especially love the insight on the journey through Ceroba's perspective, really helps drive that conflict of interest I love a lot.

ASoJ: How bad can housing a murderer of at least fifty people truly be? It's not like they'd have any ulterior motives or anything, noooo, that'd be silly!

It's another story with a conflict of interest. Between Martlet letting her good heart win over reason, and Clover seeing just what their violence has truly caused, it had me waiting for the moment where everything would crash and burn for everyone involved. And boy, did it burn.

(How we have pain in pacifist and wholesomeness in geno is a constant that is beyond me—)

Fo2T: Aand, finally, the story that started it all!

An action packed, fun filled adventure of dubious dealings and chaotic consequences featuring the most dysfunctional trio to ever grace the Underground.

So many developments, story wise, character wise, I ended up binging this story way too fast, and I'm probably gonna have to read it all over again—. I'm excited for it though, Frisk (Chara) and Clover eventually meeting, the memory dilemma getting attention, and Clover f i n a l l y getting their hat back (very important, a staple, really)

It feels like I'm watching a shonen, the way I'm invested in it sometimes. I've screamed over it way too much XD

(The fact that it took 20 chapters to get out of Hotland is honestly hilarious tho—)

If you somehow ended up down here, then I implore you to check these out for yourself, form your own opinions on them, and brace yourself because Blind is VERY long (but very worth it)—
