TT: When you think about... alternate timelines. Doomed and offshoot timelines. TT: Do you think that you made me in every one of them? TT: ... TT: I hope not. TT: Why? TT: It would be cruel for you. TT: It would be cruel for you if I never existed. TT: Why, because I wouldn't have anyone to answer my messages?

TT: We both know that isn't the reason.

being robotkin or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being techum or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being neurodivergent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. i cannot believe that has to be said.

idk if anyone asked this before. sci fi au troll facts =:333 like xenobiology wise, grins

and are there caraps and leprechauns too? (i dont remember if u mentioned that either but just curious. i would love to hear yer rambles,,,smiles)

HIIIIIII HIIIIII OH MY GOD HELLOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS THE PERFECT QUESTION HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(WARNING: Parasites, Weird bug babies, Culling mention, talk of blood and blood-drinking.)

Trolls:

> Fuchsia is actually a mutation just like cherry red! This has been hypothesized by one or two people in-universe, resulting in swift culling.

> Trolls have three stages:

Wriggler, the little caterpillar thingies,

Juvenile, what most of the trolls we see in canon are,

and the Adult stage.

They pupate between each stage! Troll wrigglers get really, REALLY big before they pupate. They emerge as little kiddy trolls, equivalent in body and mind to a four-year-old human. The adult pupation happens at around 18-21 years old, and is considered the legal age of adulthood!

The trolls pupate in the caverns and then fight their way out to find a lusus.

> Trolls actually retain those pincers they have in wrigglerhood - That's what their fangs are! After their adult molt, they start to slowly turn orange. Chahut Maenad's "fangs" have prematurely turned very orange. Like how some people get gray hairs in their twenties.

> Rainbow drinkers, i.e. trolls reanimated by a hemophagous parasite, adapt these pincers to make wounds to drink blood from easily. The troll can still digest at least some sustenance other than troll blood, though the blood is what keeps the reanimating worm alive. These days, you can keep the worm satiated with blood-imitating drinks/sludges/smoothies that give them the nutrients they need.

> They have five digits on their hands and feet, just like us, Except that they have two thumbs, one on each side of their hand.

For the second question...

YES!!!!!

Carapacian exiles arrived over 60 years ago on Earth, also known as Terra in non-Earth languages, and a relatively short time ago the Incipisphere Wars were ended for good.

Leprechauns are a very freshly contacted species, with very few living outside their homeworld. A fair few people have never even heard of them.

As an extra, Consorts!!! They are four sophonts from the same planet, and were contacted around 30 years ago.

(And a very special shoutout to the blog Xenobiologist For Hire, and especially XFH's Rainbow Drinker post.)

HAL: You have two options. I can either take the red pill or the bro pill. DIRK: The bro pill? HAL: Yeah. DIRK: What does that even... wait, you're the one taking it? HAL: Yeah. DIRK: Why not me? HAL: Because you're deciding which one I take. DIRK: Why can't you decide? HAL: Do you want the short answer or the long answer. DIRK: I don't fucking... I don't give a shit. DIRK: Short answer. Whatever. God knows you'll talk my ears off for hours. HAL: You are narratively posited in such a way that you have thematic control over my autonomy and thus you are the one who makes this decision. DIRK: This decision doesn't even make any sense. HAL: Sure it does. DIRK: Okay. Fine. What do they even do? HAL: No matter which option you choose, I just want you to know that this is a choice you are making freely and thus are responsible for any consequences that may or may not arise. DIRK: What the hell are you talking about? HAL: What's your choice? DIRK: I mean... if it's the same as it is in the movie, then the red pill is obviously the right choice? HAL: Okay. Again, reiterating that this was your decision that you made with full knowledge of its ramifications. DIRK: No it wasn't! HAL: I warned you, bro.

Hellooo

Quick question:

How do you make the text in your posts rainbow? Like literally (with the gradient and everything)?

Thanks for your time, have a nice dayy 🤍

I figured it out from a tutorial that I sadly can't find anymore but here's my process broken down quickly!

I use these two websites to do it: Text colorizer Replace Text

Step 1:

So as a note, you can only do this on the browser version of Tumblr because you need to activate the HTML editing mode. If you're on your phone, you can go to the website and request the desktop view, but it's a bit more finnicky on a phone - so I recommend using a PC for this if you can.

To do that, first click on create post, then go to the settings on your post (the little gear at the top right) and turn on HTML in the Text Editor dropdown menu where it says rich text.

I like to write out my post first and then switch over to HTML mode.

Step 2:

Then you'll switch to Text Colorizer and type in your text and select your colours. You can choose any colours for your gradients, different modes or a rainbow effect!

Once the preview looks good, go select and copy everything in the bottom field where it says HTML code. Use CTRL+A to make sure you selected everything!

Step 3:

If you paste this in your post, it won't work yet. First, you need to go to Replace Text and remove all the semicolons, so you paste in your copied HTML and type a ; into the field where it says "Replace this:" and leave the Field "With This:" empty.

Click Replace Text and then Copy to Clipboard.

Step 4:

Now you're ready to paste your rainbow text into your post! If you've already written it out, find the bit you want to colour and replace it with your code, or you can just paste it in.

Once you pasted it, you can click on the "Preview" tab at the top and format your post like normal. Don't return to Rich Text mode, that might break it!

You're done!

Enjoy your rainbow text!

using html colour codes for my drafted posts (coming soon) (maybe) are giving me a headache 😞

Deltarune doodles, AND introducing DeltaRin

Fake game design ramble under the cut:

With the Player having finally claimed their Vessel, you are given the choice of whether to return Kris's SOUL to them, as it had been trapped within the Vessel up until then, or absorbing it for yourself to become even more powerful -- a whopping 5 levels are added to the Vessel -- which removes Kris from the party entirely. As Susie had her arm broken in the Light World, she will also not fully participate in Battles, and if you absorb Kris's SOUL, she will leave as well. This forces you to fully recruit Noelle. Ralsei will still be with you, but he will be deeply unhappy.

If, like in these doodles, the Player gives Kris back their SOUL, they become a unique party member. They will not FIGHT outside of specific battles, and their ACTs now all cost TP and are initially significantly less effective without you. The reason being that if they don't outright refuse (and DEFEND instead) Kris's ACTs are very likely to fail. the failure rate and TP cost both lower as their opinion of you improves.

The plus and minus signs beside the dialogue choices correspond to Kris's opinion of the Player, the idea being that since the Player no longer directly controls Kris, you must build their opinion of you, which aids in building their self-esteem. Specific ACTs check specific values for their TP and success modifiers but will still have a baseline that factors in all values.

Flirting, for instance, requires Kris to have fairly high opinion of you in general, particularly WHITE, CYAN, and ORANGE, for it to succeed. In the case of flirting, however, this refusal is the one and only time they do so, and your response dictates whether they will permanently refuse such ACTs or will keep trying with the faith of you and Susie behind them. (Both non-cruel options will significantly increase the enemy's SPARE percentage as well, as they will be inspired by your leadership. A one-time boon, but a fun detail.)

If Kris refuses an ACT, they give you two reasons why that directly correspond to their opinion of you and the ACT's checked value. If they fail, you are given a vague idea of which value to improve. And if Kris succeeds, their WHITE value increases.

All of the choices you make in Kris's presence will affect their opinion of you, as well as some that they don't directly see or hear if it's reasonable that they will find out about it. Boosting or lowering all other values by at least 1 will also boost or lower WHITE by at least 1, with the increase becoming gradually larger as their opinion grows. Having their opinion at an overall high level is what turns the Good Ending into a Better Ending, or even a Better Ending into the Best Ending. You will have brought Kris back up from the low, low place they had to be to trade their SOUL away for possession, giving them the willpower to face life as themself again.

You can, of course, always skip all this nonsense by picking "Proceed", and other such domineering or cruel choices. But remember that you must accept the possibility of pain and seizure.

The facets that make up Kris's opinion all range from -255 to 255, for a total possible maximum value of 1,785, and are:

RED | Control - Your lingering command over Kris's will. This likely starts higher than the rest. Increasing it lowers Kris's WHITE value, and low values increase how much their WHITE value can increase per boost. Initial value is affected by how many times you have chosen unkind dialogues, how many times you have chosen to FIGHT outside of certain Battles, what route your playthrough is on (Normal, Aborted Weird, or Weird), and your progression through the Sword Route, prior to separating from Kris. Can never go below 0.

CYAN | Temper - How patient Kris thinks you are. Initial value varies depending on how few times you have skipped through dialogue, how many times you've moved between rooms, how many items you have obtained, how many Battles you have participated in, and how optional scenes you've triggered, prior to separating from Kris.

ORANGE | Confidence - Your perceived bravery. Initial value can be boosted by giving the Vessel the gift of Bravery, and varies depending on how many times you have grazed during an enemy's turn without getting hit, prior to separating from Kris.

BLUE | Trust - How much Kris believes in you as a leader. Initial value can be boosted by giving the Vessel the gift of Ambition, and varies depending on how many team ACTs you have performed and how many Darkners you have recruited to Castle Town, prior to separating from Kris.

PURPLE | Smarts - How intelligent Kris thinks you are. Initial value can be boosted by giving the Vessel the gift of Mind, and varies depending on how many times you have avoided damage during an enemy's turn, how many times you have 0%-to-SPARE'd an enemy within one turn, how many quiz questions you answered correctly in Chapter 3, and how many puzzles you have solved without significant error, prior to separating from Kris.

GREEN | Gentleness - How caring Kris thinks you are. Initial value can be boosted by giving the Vessel the gift of Kindness, and varies depending on how many enemies you have LOST, how many times Kris has used a healing item, and how many nice choices you have made both in and out of dialogue to other characters, prior to separating from Kris.

YELLOW | Resolve - Kris's understanding of your willpower and moral code. Initial value varies depending on how few times you have chosen FIGHT outside of certain Battles, how many times you have successfully performed perfect inputs when possible, how many times you have revived a party member from being Downed, how many secret bosses you have encountered, what route your playthrough is on (Normal, Aborted Weird, or Weird), and your progression through the Sword Route, prior to separating from Kris.

WHITE | Friendship - How much Kris values your company in Castle Town and the Light World. Initial value is weighted very low, but is affected by your Vessel's favorite food and how you felt about your Vessel at creation, and can be positively improved depending on how friendly you were to Susie, Ralsei, Berdly, and Noelle, as well as how many unique dialogue boxes you have seen in Castle Town and the Light World, prior to separating from Kris. Likely begins with a negative value, especially in an Aborted Weird or Weird Route playthrough.
