Hopes and Dreams

I still ascend whenever I hear the track

This whole thing about scanning your face to prove tour age is making me remember, in 2018 while out in paris we got our wallet stolen during a particularly busy night at a lesbian bar. It was very late and with no money to buy metro tickets we were effectively stranded, but some people helped us and we ended up staying the night at a really sweet older man's place. His face was deeply scarred and he was missing an eye. We chatted on our way and he told me about his life, probably to help calm me down. He explained he had been stuck in a house fire 20 years ago and had had multiple rounds of facial reconstruction and a skin graft, but there's only so much surgery can do so he just learned to live with it. I remember he said he liked the queer bars because they're the only place people don't really stare at him.

At some point I took out my phone, and at the time I was using face unlock. This prompted him to tell me all the ways this technology doesn't work on him. How his phone selfie camera doesn't focus right because it's not detecting a face. How he had to update his ID the old fashioned way, because the website kept rejecting his photos. And how it was becoming more and more common, and how it was making his life way harder.

This was 7 years ago, and now whenever I see this sort of technology I think of how that guy can't use it. And how house fires are pretty common, and how anything from being born this way to a skin condition to heavy tattooing can probably cause the same issue. Can these people get age verified ? Will they just lose access to all social media, which are increasingly necessary in society, if this becomes the norm ? These are people who are already driven out of public spaces due to how they look, and they're getting pushed out online too all in the interest of companies wanting more money.

say grace.

Noelle’s plate: even though she’s vegetarian, there’s Christmas ham on her plate. just another example of her confirming to her family’s image.

Berdly’s plate: Monster energy drink, bag of Doritos, ice. It’s a nod to the snowgrave route, but maybe he’s just anemic…

Susie’s plate: Cinnamon and Butterscotch pie. (Toriel just couldn’t decide!) she has some chalk on the side and has been drawing on the table. Ralsei’s plate: Cake and tea. A nod to him trying it for the very first time with Susie and Kris. Kris’s plate: the soul.

All of the lightners have a star above their head resembling the save point star! Ralsei doesn’t have one. Susie looks a little uncomfortable saying grace, and she folds her arms different from everyone else. It’s not because she’s trying to be disrespectful. She’s just not used to saying grace around a table full of people given her home situation. + people pray a little different from how she’s from. Kris isn’t praying at all, instead pointing to the roaring knight above. They sit at the same table with a different understanding of the situation at hand.

Kris and Togore Dreemurr

In other words this is my take on the togore design that’s been going around on insta a lot

[smolldust]

ive become obsessed with togore hes like my nephew. VERY inspired by @miggsboson's togore comic... i think he grows a beautiful fluttershy mane later in life and is the kind of kid that stayed inside with alphys during recess because he wanted to read

[smolldust]

Togore baby boy they could never make me forget about you 😤

[smolldust]

Togore (and chester)fans get your food

Drew these two in wplace when the void suddently spawned next to them but you could also see this as them not being in the actual game and togore being angsty about it

[smolldust]

Brush test doodle of my favorite totally canon Undertale/Deltarune character Togore because I think his design is really cute

[smolldust]

No more art block. Just Togore Dreemurr.
