#Now he is the darkness itself

i will miss the block party outfits for everyone tbh lol
#vee queued to fill the void#am i surprised they’re gone???? no not at all lmao#didn’t even necessarily want them to stay lol just they will be missed lol#with retrospect now you get to analyse what the outfits meant for the character in that specific block party instance lol#like kuukou's darker colours for the block party lends itself to kuukou primarily making things happen behind the scenes#and maybe could also be indicative of a scene that brought kuukou closer to or flat or embodied who he wants to become#or in the shadows so to say lol#since the outfit is his most inline monk fit yet lol#and maybe with ichiro since he’s back in black and red similar to his pre bb days#he isn’t so aimless as he was back then but he’s still in the dark about family stuff like he was back then#and with that lack of knowledge he confronts rei who lured him his way just similarly to what happened in the manga#still turns rei down lol but has proven something to rei this time but i’m kinda digressing lol but that kinda retrospect analysis lol

Who needs normal robot replacements with arms like these?
Meet The Dark Lord 2.0. It's body was severely torn by The Second Coming, but with a little bit of technology, spider children and pure spite it turned himself into an eldritch horror. Good for him!
#animation vs animator#incase you're curious about his damage#he lost his legs almost completely. half of its left arm went kabloey so now its missing a hand. and the impact crushed a lot of bones so#the panel/ventilation thing and wires help it breathe#how do you call a spider butt#okay google is saying abdomen so thats his second lower abdomen#inside it theres all kinds of tech. mostly to keep him alive but theres probably a web thing there too#because its just a freak like that /j#ALSO the glowy lines on there are actually holes. and you do not want to be there when it spills out a few dozens of virabots hiding inside#avm#ava the dark lord#ava dark lord#avm the dark lord#spider!dark#tag just incase i wanna save stuff for the he#alan becker#ava au#fun fact this original idea comes from a half asleep little shop of horrors au where purple helps a half dying dark turn itself into. this#and then try to kill their friends#my art

I had this realization a few days ago when reviewing what we know about Gaster while theorizing about the mysterious Valentine from the newsletter and idk if other people have pointed this out yet, but I haven't seen anyone else talk about it:
I don't think Gaster's disappearance has anything to do with Core.
The Core is only mentioned in relation to Gaster once, in this dialogue from one of the Gaster followers:
This dialogue is why most theories and fanon built around the idea that Gaster fell into the Core, which for reasons unknown to us erased him from existence. But I'm now pretty convinced that this is a red herring, because it doesn't actually say Gaster fell into the Core. It says he made the Core, and that he fell into his creation.
It does not say that this creation is the Core.
The dialogue is written in a way that leads you to assume the creation he fell into was the Core, but that doesn't really make much sense considering the rest of the dialogue.
The dialogue says "they say he created the Core," which implies this is second hand knowledge, but then says with certainty "One day, he fell into his creation." Why do they know for sure he fell into "his creation," but only knows he created the core from what others say?
If you talk to the follower again, they say "Will Alphys end up the same way?" Why would Alphys also fall into the Core? As far as we know, Alphys doesn't maintain the Core; if I remember correctly, a few monsters at Mettaton's hotel are stated to work in the Core, so wouldn't this follower be more concerned that those monsters will end up like Gaster and not Alphys?
And another question that I think fanon has just ignored due to the assumption it was something we don't yet know about, but I am now wondering about: Why would falling into the Core erase Gaster from time? When traveling through Hotland and viewing the Core in the distance, Alphys says this:
And while this dialogue may at first seem indicative that the Core is more mysterious than a normal geothermal power generator (and it is in some ways), remember: Alphys didn't build the Core. Alphys doesn't understand how the Core works, not because it has some unnatural property that could erase people from space time, but because she didn't build it. Not only does this mean that the Core is likely just a power generator that utilizes the lava in Hotland to produce geothermal energy and convert it to electricity, it also means that Alphys doesn't work on the Core, because she doesn't know how it works. So why would the Gaster follower worry about Alphys ending up like Gaster if she doesn't have any involvement with the Core?
Additionally, that Gaster follower is the only one to mention the Core in relation to Gaster. In fact, one of the other followers says something that could be interpreted as actively contradicting his erasure being caused by the Core:
This follower says "his experiments went wrong," and doesn't mention the Core. Why would Gaster be experimenting with the Core? And if he was, we don't know anything about it.
But you know what experiments we do know Gaster was working on, because it's literally one of the only pieces of dialogue we have from him?
And do you know what other creation was presumably made by Gaster, as Alphys is unfamiliar with it's operation? That is also a creation that was actively being used in experiments, which Alphys is continuing to perform herself? Experiments that are directly involved with something we already know can alter time and space? A creation that is located in one of the most mysterious areas in the game with several oddities in it that are straight up never explained, multiple fourth wall breaking moments, and a couple explicit references to things we believe are associated with Gaster? A creation that suspiciously resembles in appearance the form of a character who canonically can alter time and space, not to mention resembling the thing that's literally called a GASTER BLASTER???
#ignore the crusty spriters resource gaster blaster. google images is useless when it comes to finding actual gameplay screenshots.#anyways I may be completely out of the loop and everyone already knew this. but also the whole Core thing was basically accepted fanon#back in the day. and i only just realized it probably is a misinterpretation like less than a week ago#im not sure the determination extractor is the creation he fell into. but i think the creation he fell into is related to the extractor#also when looking up stuff for this i came upon the information that the tree man may be referenced in the true lab#when you enter the room filled with fog and try to inspect things it mentions a tree and a man.#not to mention the true lab being the debut of everyman of course.#and whatever the FUCK is up with the memory heads. who have a suspicious connection to phones btw.#actually Gaster has an incredibly suspicious connection to phones. like the spamton thing obviously but his presence seems to fuck up phone#the memory heads. the garbage noise in the dark world. hell GRANDPA SEMI is even directly related to phones.#considering one of the only two places he is mentioned is in a list of characters to have phone call events in the code of the demo.#also the art book mentions that the phone itself was originally a character. which kinda ties into the unused video game content theme.#this doesn't have much to do with this post im just rambling now.#anyways tl;dr i am now a 'gaster did not fall into the core' truther#undertale#deltarune#ut/dr#ut/dr theory

WAIT WAIT WAIT CONSIDER THIS: TOM AND BARBARA AS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE, ALAN AND ALICE AS A DOOMED RETELLING
#alan wake#like this is fully what they already are - not in a 'someone make this content' way. they just Are#alan wake 2#alice wake#tom zane#barbara jagger#barbara dies in a tragedy and tom is overcome with grief and through art and song (film/poetry) moves heaven and earth to bring#her back from the darkness - only to discover the dark place did not grant him his love again merely a shade of her#and so in that same roiling grief he destroyed himself - cast himself back into hell#the dark place took Alice so Alan followed her into hell - but despite Thomas's guidance he could not save both himself and Alice#and so he did the impossible and trapped himself in exchange for her freedom#Alan was taken by the dark place and so Alice followed him into hell once more#and she - knowing he could not afford to look back if he was ever to escape - tricked him into thinking she was already lost#sacrificing herself to lead him back to the light#and now the cycle is broken. alan cannot follow her into hell again - at least not in the same way as before#but in breaking the cycle he has declared himself the master of two worlds - is this hubris? has he doomed himself again with those words?#or does he hold the reins now? will he be able to reach into the underworld and free her? have they trancended myth itsel#*itself?#anyway. I'm a genius (jk)

"Oh I HATE when most of the Phantom of the Opera adaptations try to turn the story into something romantic! It was supposed to be a HORROR story, not a LOVE story!"
AND WHO THE HELL SAID IT CAN'T ACTUALLY BE BOTH?!
P.S.: some of you have to update yourselves about the true meaning of 👉 "romantic" 👈
#no but seriously#love is literally the main theme of whole story#it's about how an pure act of love and kindness can transform someone's life for good#it's about how love can manifest itself in such unhealthy and ugly and dangerous ways#when a person who never knew what true love feels like tries very hard to express the sincerity of his/her feelings to their dear ones#in the only way he/she ever learned#also many people still misunderstand the meaning of 'romantic'#horror stories can be romantic and touching#love stories can be dark and scary and tragic and shocking#I mean... I think that's what gothic literature is all about right?#okay I'll shut up now#the phantom of the opera#phantom of the opera#poto#le fantome de l'opera#gaston leroux#erik the phantom#erik poto#christine daae#raoul de chagny#erik x christine#eristine#raoul x christine#raoulstine#literature#romance#romantic#horror#gothic stuff#monstrous love

They say that isolation is one of the worst forms of torture...
#THIS IS NOT VENT ART!!!!! this thought has just been in my head:#my story for pmd2 Darkrai is that after being attacked by a mob for accidentally causing nightmares Cresselia made him live in isolation#while she visited him from time to time Darkrai was slowly beginning to go crazy with only his thoughts to keep him company#when Cresselia abruptly stopped visiting he completely snapped. he couldn't stand the way he was living so he wanted to change it#originally he hated himself for being a monster but now he embraced that notion entirely#if he was going to be hated for simply existing then why should others be able to live peaceful and happy lives while he suffered alone?#it no longer mattered if he was a monster. Darkrai would destroy time itself and thrive in his world of darkness even if it hurt others.#anyway I just thought I could convey those feelings better if I drew this piece while tired :]#kind of glad to finally get my ideas for pmd2 Darkrai written even if its in the tags of one of my posts#if you read all of this ily /p and hope you enjoy your day or night <333#darkrai#pmd2#riraro's random things

I was just here, sketching to help me fixing ideas and concepts of characters I write about... and while I was messing with Xangr's hair of the period he left the mage guild to listen to some obscure designs, I fell on... Darra. @downontheupside
Hi, 2E male Darra.
#at this time xangr cutted his hair bc he always had a thing for metaphors and symbolism#to sum up: he did sick shit past then#really sick shit#his mentor learnt about it and dragged him by the hair at the dead of the night#right to the auriel chapel of auridion#to make him pray this god that was not even his#hoping it would save his soul and needing some silent space to have a serious serious discussion#as an answer xangr cutted everything to never let that happen again#so even this altmer he likes really much would not have a grasp on him anymore#xangr seeks freedom at any cost and as a teen (or what can be considered a teen for a mer) was extreme as oblivion itself#chaos began to take form when he entered adulthood#symbolized by a real glowup un his way to behave and dress#apperance of makeup#pearls and jewelry#but something never left him dispite how calm and serene he may appear now#xangr is very dark#dark dark dark#his hair drinks light and his eyes vomit every glimpse of it#his skin is painted in a coal so black it blurs his silhouet#and his upper lip is always stucked in a sibyllin smile that people learn to fear

the inability of the fandom to find a balance between diminishing the role of the human willpower and diminishing the capabilities of extradimensional gods strikes again
#some things should remain schrödingered forever#“is it zane or scratch?” yes#“did alan trapped himself or the dark place?” yes#yeah bro you're just a dumbfuck for self sabotaging we've already explained what to do in fucking songs. keep suffering#will we show you directly what to do? no. have some vague wording. and also you're tom now. reason – you must know yourself#all that rubs me the worst way cuz guess who has been mocked and yelled at for not knowing how to do things without normal instructions#mind you he had no idea he's a fucking parautilitirian. yeah you could just use your sage powers. you couldn't know about them? skill issue#yall just hindsight biased#try to find a meaning in the damn musical song when you keep dying and dying and dying#if you blame the guy for suffering and not the gods for getting mad at him when theyre the ones who have no clue how to say things directly#begone#and if you start the “ohh but that's not how it works in the dark place” bullshit then the dark place *does* have agency#and you just like making the insanity look stupid#no idea how to call this hill but i will die on it#it's not the hell of only alan's making#fuck all the godly vagueposting i fucking hate it. if you talk to the thing that perceives itself as human than talk to it like it's human#and don't blame the human for not following your instructions because they're fucking impossible to comprehend when you die as a hobby

im rewatching community and just got to what is arguably the shows absolute worst episode - the one where britta finds out all her friends have been essentially getting paid off by her abusive parents, and somehow britta is the one at fault for being “childish”??
i find this episode so cruel in so many ways honestly, and not the least bc dan harmon, after giving britta a backstory that involves CSA (which her parents didnt believe happened), chose to convey the message that britta is 100% wrong & you should always forgive your abusers regardless of all else, and we as viewers are just supposed to be ok with that.
its extra evil too because dan harmon was fired from community in the first place because he was sexually harassing one of the shows writers, and now here he is actively denying the trauma of his female character who was a victim of sexual assault. like bro. this could not be more on the nose if it tried
#dark lord saltine#community#csa mention#i watched community before finding out about all the dan harmon stuff and man.#i wish i had known about it ahead of time#because for as good as the show is - and it does have some REALLY great stuff - dan harmon clearly has issues with women#like a lot of them.#and i find it very notable that jeff (who is clearly a stand-in for dan harmon) is constantly lusting after annie despite the huge age gap#like sir....#also in regards to the episode itself: i saw a post about this episode that really caught my eye#someone said that it made no sense for britta to be suddenly mooching off her friends#when the levar burton episode makes it very clear shes actually TOO giving to her friends#he straight up says it to her - ''youre a good friend but youre really stupid with your money''#so where does it come from that shes now suddenly mooching off of them and giving nothing in return?#it almost feels like britta became a punching bag for dan harmons to release his feelings toward outspoken & political women#which is why other characters developed & grew for the better but britta not only stagnated; she actively got worse#man. the more i talk about this the more i hate this show LMAO

Guess who’s redesigning one of their old Iterator ocs
#rain world#iterator oc#xylo’s ocs#my art#he’s goofy and i feel very bad for him :(#some info!#he is apart of a relatively small local iterator group that he doesn’t like much#so he has somewhat of a found family dynamic with further away iterators!#however#rot began to infest his facility#and eventually he collapsed!#His entire region is rot infested#think of the deep dark or skulk#and is now sort of… pulled around by a DLL that attached itself to him#he SHOULDN’T be alive#and really he is running on 1-2 neuronflies#his siblings are worried :(

I keep listening to the Will Stetson cover of outer science and I can’t stop spinning around Cyrus
#Life it wasn’t enough you take whatever you touch#This empty miracle now is suffocating in its blood#those lines are so VISCERAL#but I can’t stop thinking about how it goes back to Cyrus#and how he views the trio and cynthia#as well as all of the creation gods and the lake guardians#“empty miracles <- the chosen children who’re helpless to the world#and Cynthia’s inability to protect them despite Arceus#their blessings to the world are meaningless#and their meanings are empty#and the world is suffocating itself because of these meaningless#worthless#quote on quote gods#god i worry that I make these a bit too edgy and I really wanna avoid that#but like#edginess comes with outer science#i need to start talking about the less dark aspects sometime though#Dawn has a pin collection#if anyone wants to know about that

Something HYSTERICALLY funny to me about the literal opening lines of the album being Joe’s silence and calm and Taylor both resting in it but also about to midnight chatter/complain/vent/reminisce/sob for the next 44 minutes
#you can feel him as a place of rest for Taylor#all that not marrying nonsense. like again. Taylor can say what she needs to say as she wrestled with old wounds and crushing expectations#etc.#YOU need to marry her. period. full stop.#it will not be enough for her until/if you do#(I hope you have already and we don’t know but yeah.)#like. it’s literally your job Joseph#okay I’m going to stop talking about this specific aspect of it but yeah.#Taylor’s wounds. the weight of things. her fragile bitter heart#like. you as a calm and reserved British actor with self-possession etc. have literally one job#and it is NOT your acting job#anyway overall I love his presence on the album. somehow more revealing than ever#not his personality in itself but flashes of it I guess. and mostly what he means for Taylor#this anchor of stability that has unlocked (honestly) her potential to be her most insane self#in the BEST way#she doesn’t have to hold back#the OLDER Taylor gets the more I am astonished to find how much agonizing restraint there was in those early albums#of course not all of her vocabulary and darkness and wounds (or loves) were as developed now#but there is this sense that she was keeping herself in such check#in order to be likeable#the fascinating power was still there but the range of her sheer personaltiy#the bitterness the rancor the need for peace even the softness#their deep twisted complicated roots were mostly hidden and disguised#and time reveals them#(though also the funny thing about a taylor album is that it wears sweeter with time)#until I can almost hear no bitterness#but at first that’s ALL I hear

daily reminder that this is a toa merlin hate blog!!
#kitkat rambles#tales of arcadia#literally biting chomping killing rn#rewatching trollhunters is all well and good until I have to watch a house divided#and like. i hadn’t seen that episode in full in YEARS bc the bathtub scene emotionally scarred me when I was 15#I’d watched the bathtub scene itself but not in the context of the ep with all of merlin’s manipulation#safe to say I never really stopped hating him but damn did I forget how fucked up the shit he said to jim was#and I am now filled with rage!!#and also guilt for being a wizards enjoyer lol#I don’t think it’s merlin apologism per se but it’s definitely Not as critical of merlin (and arthur) as it should be#anyway. brb killing that man#also I’m watching w my family and that was a ride bc my dad fucking fell ASLEEP before the bathtub scene#so we had to go through it once and then rewind it which just made the whole thing worse#so moral of the story I’m apparently not over emotional damage dealt out by a cartoon I watched in high school#and while I’m all for well rounded children’s media with dark themes I think dreamworks went a little too hard with this one#considering it effectively traumatized both 15 year old me and my 50something mom

1000-2000 of my daily steps tracked on my phone come from just pacing my apartment when I'm thinking, scrolling, watching YouTube, and talking on the phone in my free time.
#good lord I forgot how ass working full time is I spend 2/3 of my life sitting or lying down#So when I'm off work and before bed I'm just pacing#at least now that it's nice out i can go out for more frequent walks#I hate going out so mfing much in the dark and cold it's just not happening I've learned#so i just... Pace#my poor downstairs neighbours#they've never once complained even though my cat takes a daily gallop through our hallway a dozen times at 4am#he has the thunderous footfalls of a galloping moose how is that even possible#There's no stopping him either he just continues when I leave after shooting him#He's got the zoomies he's gotta move and I get it. Bc I Pace.#the lady downstairs always talks SUPER loud on the phone like she can't hear well so maybe it's fine :/#personal#sitting is way worse than lying down though like I've I'm being inactive I want to be fully at rest#Sitting is a miserable medium where my legs hates having to stay still but still needs to tense itself into a proper posture position#I meant after shooing* my cat lmao

had a dream and forgot it wasn’t real so i was really just about to make a post like damn why do all of e2!scott’s nightmares involve jimmy
#.txt#some notes abt this dream: chromia was underground right next to a deep dark#ancient city . whatever#there was constantly a warden on the loose that had been nicknamed something starting with an s?#i don’t remember the exact name#the warden kept like. saying shit? that kinda sounded like nonsense iirc but it freaked scott out#and it would never attack scott through walls fsr#katherine fwhip and i think pix? came along to kill the warden for scott#scott went running and was found by jimmy (inexplicably in his normal skin not the sheriff one)#and jimmy had a dog with him? or a cat? a Pet#and at first he was being nice all concerned for scott but then he suddenly started being mean and saying the same stuff#as the warden completely out of nowhere#he was also randomly wearing a realistically rendered witch hat now that i think about it#how did i think this dream was real#also that’s not notes i did just describe the whole dream#OH i forgot the random egyptian architecture#and the fact that chromia looked a bit like a mix between itself and gobland#which probably had something to do with it being underground#but since fwhip showed up at one point i think it can be assumed that gobland is still a seperate place#also the deep dark had glowing blue mushrooms in it

#my only note for the next part of the sith au is ‘‘cela accidentally hurts jaq and he’s ok with it but she’s deeply not’’#and yet somehow it's not at all writing itself. HMM#maybe it's bc i'm also trying to fit ''jaq's best friend thinks cela's manipulating him and tries to convince jaq to 'break up' with her#but only ends up breaking jaq's trust in him & jaq does something terrible to him#thus taking his first real step to the dark side'' in there too#& also trying to retcon the end of the last part to delete everything that happened after leaving korriban bc it was too big of a timeskip#& also trying to think up what cela would possibly do for jaq's training/lessons#& at some point during all this establish that the jedi jaq failed to kill has gotten news back to the council that cela's still alive#so now the council wants cela dead* by any means necessary (*something close to death but not quite)#oh and somehow cela has to seriously reflect on her place in revan's army and wonder why revan Does keep her around and become#convinced that 1) she's on thin ice 2) jaq becoming her apprentice was orchestrated by revan who's using him to secretly evaluate#her DS level. which is partly bc she finally saw his korriban vision and read it as him being eternally loyal to revan#but also partly bc she needs an excuse to push him away bc she's afraid of letting him love her#oh and somehow their developing force bond is like stifled and one-way bc of cela's refusal to let him in#and jaq should somehow almost die from it to make cela think emotional connection is bad#and everyone who knows cela's entire backstory should believe that there's no way for cela/jaq to happen without one of them dying#and in fact revan's banking on it#but it turns out cela's refusal to fully connect with him is exactly what's been making jaq like a finite battery that can be drained & die#so like as usual the big bad is a fear of intimacy and the whole thing ends with cela accepting jaq's love#and once she Does connect with him & complete the force bond jaq is now more like a wire connecting cela to the endless force#zero resistance
