Vigilante Shit 《pt.1》

(max verstappen x ricciardo!reader)

Yn Ricciardo is a familiar face for every formula 1 fan, having known her since she was 10 years old as she joined her brother in the paddock over the years, she leads quite a normal life as a normal college student with her boyfriend.. well, as normal as it can be

or

in which yn ricciardo gets through her first heartbreak by the help of her brother's teammate?

N.B: the summary isn't the best tbh... this small series (i think 4 or 5 parts maximum) is inspired by taylor swift's reputation and midnight albums (2 of my all time favourite albums)... I hope you guys like it! Also I left a hidden message for where this is going in here, so let me know your theories in the comments, thank you for reading ♥️♥️ °ps: don't worry, pt2 of the cillian x fem driver reader is coming very soon° WARNINGS: very short, not proof read, swear words, smoking and drinking (mentioned and in pics), 5 year age gap, if I missed anything else please let me know

DannyRicUpdates: YN Ricciardo gone wild?? The 20 year old was seen tody smoking and drinking right before the Italian GP (not really a hot look, the youngest riccardo looks sick and tired). yn is known as quite the lovely and good girl, her older brother always supports her and takes her travelling whenever her studies allow while she has a lovely boyfriend back home who is always waiting for her with open arms(as documented through hers and Daniel's social media) so what could possibly push her to waste her life away?

Thorough comparison of JGTC vehicles

M・S war in the GT300 class

Mitsubishi and Subaru continue to engage in a fierce battle in the WRC, but there is a feeling that a new battle will take place at the JGTC, which has moved to the circuit. Cusco Racing entered the GT300 class a little earlier than last year with the Impreza, which has poured its know-how into building dirt trial class vehicles. On the other hand, Mitsubishi has started entering entries this season with FTOs made by Ralliart, with engines by HKS and chassis by Nova. Let's do a thorough comparison.

Photography: Shinji Takizawa/Takahito Naito/Satoshi Kamimura Interview cooperation: Cusco/Nova Engineering Photography cooperation: Fuji Speedway

The Mitsubishi/Subaru war breaks out even at JGTC, which is currently the most popular!

The most interesting race in Japan today is the GT Championship. In this year's GT

championship Mitsubishi and Subaru face off.

Noda. Subaru started accepting entries last year with the Cusco Subaru Impreza.

The vehicle uses a 2-door coupe body. Since Cusco (Carrosse) specializes in producing dirt track D vehicles (unlimited modification class), they utilize their D vehicle know-how and develop their own machines, although the engines are supplied by STI. Mitsubishi, on the other hand, is the Taeivon FTO, which has started entry from this year. Basic design by Mitsubishi modified by Ralliart. HKS, which has been working on Mitsubishi's motorsports engines for a ling time was in charge of the engine, and Nova Engineering, which has worked on race cars in all categories including top formulas, was in charge of the chassis. As you can see from this, the Cusco Impreza is a pure privateer, but the Taeivon FTO is a private car with factory support.

-The dark brown color is very strong.

Now, when I compare the construction of these two machines, I notice something interesting. Both have a normal FF or 4WD drive layout from factory. However, the drive layout chosen for each GT model is FF for the FTO and FR for the Impreza. If both had around 300 PS of horsepower, they would have chosen the lightweight and simple option over 4WD traction. However, since the FTO is a horizontally mounted engine, unless you choose 4WD, the only option is FF. How much is 300PS?

However, FF, where steering and drive transmission are handled by two wheels, and rear drive, where each wheel is separate, are at a considerable disadvantage in terms of tire wear.

However, knowing this, FTO chose FF. On the other hand, Subaru's horizontally opposed 4-cylinder FR engine is longitudinally installed, so it easily becomes an FR engine that is not found in production cars. Furthermore, the engine is compact and has a low center of gravity, so the layout clearly gives the Impreza an advantage in terms of balance.

As for the engine, both are 2L turbos.

FTO is handled by HKS, but basically WRC for group A. Since the Impreza is also supplied by STI, its performance is probably quite similar. By the way, the nominal values ​​from each team are 300 PS/40 kg-m for FTO and 320 PS or more/35 kg-m for Impreza.

However, when it comes to the chassis, both cars have been created using different approaches. As I wrote earlier, the Cusco Impreza was built using the know-how of dirt trial D-class vehicles. There are no restrictions on modification of D vehicles. At Cusco, we are using this unlimited know-how to run on dirt to create vehicles that fit within the framework of the GT Championship. The chassis is mainly reinforced with pipes. Rather than a monocoque frame, it is more appropriate to call it a pipe frame covered with a steel shell. The structure is such that all suspension input is received by the pipe. That's why there are pipes running along the floor.

On the other hand, the Taeivon FTO is naturally reinforced with pipes, but it is also connected to the normal monocoque with steel plates, making it a semi-monocoque, and adding carbon to increase body rigidity. This area is circuit racing, and it is unique to Nova, which handles formula racing.

Suspension is according to regulations

Although no changes are allowed, other modifications may be made.

You can call it freedom, and both cars have completely different suspension systems from the commercially available cars. In order to accommodate the huge 18-inch tires and to keep the vehicle height as low as possible, the wheel house was changed to something completely different, and the engine was mounted as low as possible at the rear. Naturally, the members are also original and produced. Therefore, the mounting position, or geometry, of the suspension arm can be changed freely, and It has been moved to a position suitable for running on the circuit, and of course the arms and uprights have also been made specifically for it.

Now, which of these two cars is faster? Looking at the first round of this season, Suzuka, the FTO showed a fast run that would be hard to believe in its debut race, and managed to finish in 3rd place (Round 2 at Fuji canceled). Objectively, FTO, which is participating in the race for the first time this season and can be called a works model, has an advantage.

Perhaps, but with Impreza's good balance and Cusco's vehicle manufacturing know-how, we can expect a heated battle in Future GT.

I can't take my eyes off the championship.

CUSCO SUBARU IMPREZA

ENGINE & DRIVE-TRAIN

①The huge aluminum core is arranged in two stages, with the intercooler on the top and the radiator on the bottom. The thickness of the radiator in particular is surprising when compared to the stock one. (2) The right-hand light serves as an air intake, and the air is guided through a duct to the turbine set in front of the engine. (3,4) If you look closely at the piping, you can see the aluminum pipe extending from the radiator to the bulkhead. This is led through the interior to the water-cooled transmission and differential oil cooler. Incidentally, the engine control unit is installed indoors together with the data logger. (5) the transmission is Hewland's sequential gearbox. Even though it doesn't have a bellhousing, it's very compact.

⑥ When you remove the rear suspension arm and brake, you'll see a reinforcement made of a lot of aluminum, and behind that you can see the differential.

AERO PARTS

① The front spoiler is the type that has recently become mainstream, with large side gills that generate downforce. The air intake has slits that distribute air to the radiator and intercooler, which have two upper and lower stages. ②The front hood is dominated by a huge air outlet. ③Equipped with a huge slitted wing on the rear that combines two wings. ④The rear bumper appears to be of normal shape, but you can see the aluminum vertical plate of the diffuser underneath.

SUSPENSION & BRAKE

①The front wheel house has a huge Brembo caliper and rotor that makes the suspension almost invisible. The arms are of course remade with pipes, and the links are rose joints. ② The rear is the same, but the shock and the parts that connect the shock and upright are compared to those on the market.

It looks like it's strangely sturdy. ③④ The front stabilizer is installed above and behind the engine (perhaps this is a measure to mount the engine low?), so the input from the suspension is via a long rod.

COCKPIT

① Increase body strength by creating a semi-pipe frame with a roll cage. Therefore, bars are not only strung above and along the sides, but are also set along the floor and welded at strategic points. ② The transmission is sequential and has a special lever (maybe the linkage has been removed due to maintenance?). ③Switches and indicators are arranged on the center console that protrudes according to the seat position. ④The seat is moved back considerably and fixed in a very low position. The instrument panel itself remains normal. ⑤ The meter is equipped with a digital type on the steering wheel column. The steering wheel and pedals are also selected to match the seat.

TAEIVON TRAMPIO FTO

FISCO race information

I photographed these two cars on the practice day for the second round of the GT Championship, which was held at FISCO on May 3rd. By the way, the next big race to be held at FISCO is the third round of Formula Nippon on May 31st. This year's F Pon competition is fierce. Let's go to FISCO to watch the heated battle. Inquiries: Fuji Speedway ☎03-3409-2365

AERO PARTS

① The outer shell of the Taeivon FTO was designed by the designer of the commercial FTO car. The original FTO design was utilized, such as using the hole for the turn signal as an air intake for the brake, and the design was made more functional. ②The front hood outlet is also well designed. The opening is small, but it seems to come through easily. ③Although the rear wing is large, it looks like it could be attached to a production car as is. It will also be equipped with the Delta Wicker found on the Lan Evo. ④⑤ The underside of the body is covered with an all-carbon undercover, and the rear under spoiler finally functions as a diffuser to increase down force.

SUSPENSION & BRAKE

①②③The front and rear brakes are Brembo, which is standard for GT cars. Although it is a FF, the rear brake capacity is also quite large. The suspension is formally the same as normal, but the mounting position, arm shape, and upright are completely race-specific.The shock with reservoir tank is a double spring specification with a helper spring. (4,5) Inner Fender has been completely rebuilt to accommodate the huge tires. Also, the reinforcement near the strut upper, which is the apex, is like a semi-monocoque made of iron plates, and it seems to be extremely rigid.

ENGINE

(1) There have been some modifications such as cutting the flange, but a normal EX manifold with a heat shield is included. The turbine is also basically normal. This is because the engine itself has a displacement of 2026 cc, which is essentially a WRC Group A car engine. A wire mesh is placed over the right headlight, which serves as an intake to the turbine. Since the nose is low, the intake cooler and oil cooler are mounted horizontally. The engine control is surprisingly Motech. The unit is fixed near the footwell on the passenger side (right side). You can see the machined aluminum stay behind the piping to mount the engine, and the finish is very beautiful.

COCKPIT

① Although the roll cage has a large number of bars, different pipe diameters are used to prevent unnecessary weight increase. (2) However, for the part that needs to be strong, from the roof to the A-pillar, the roll cage and body are connected with a steel plate and made into a box shape to increase strength. ③ Since the vehicle height is low and there is an undercover, the thick exhaust pipe for the turbo has nowhere to go and is pushed up towards the floor. Nearby again! Car is equipped with ballast that takes into account weight balance. ④ Switches that match the receding seats are housed in the carbon center console, which also includes switches for the electric mirrors and power windows. (5) The carbon door has a normal lining...

some old ass totk drawings for anniversary 🌿⚔️

i did this with water color and markers a few days before the game came out as like a goodbye tribute to botw 🥹🥹

did this early last year probably after i saw the trailer and lost my mind

purah obv

a pretty good zelda actually? what’s become clear to me from comparing these is how i always try different things when drawing stuff like these are all drastically different in some ways

so like i did like the game first of all. i just didn’t like how it felt overwhelming almost? it felt like there was too much stuff which would be good if i actually wanted to it yk? it felt like a chore to go to the depths and etc. but also it had a very divine beast formula and i was hoping it would just be something more creative. but other than that it was a beautiful game and I loved zelda being a creature and the outfits and things. not better than botw in my opinion but not bad also!!!

(ps. also makes me so happy to have a zelda game come out the day b4 my birthday 🎉)

Word Count: 9,363

Summary: Chai has a rather tumultuous history when it came to people wanting him to stick around, and he's never quite sure how much of it was directly his fault. If you were to ask him personally, he would probably say most of it was his fault. He was Chai: a loud-brained rockstar who didn't even have the ability to be a rockstar until recently. Occasionally, he thought certain aspects of it were unfair, at least when it came to specific details of specific moments, but for the most part, he did his best to shake it off and make a mental note of what not to do the next time he found himself settling down with those he considered family. He for sure had to have everything figured out by now. He knew the formulas and expectations for when it came to people like him. He couldn't possibly mess it up like he had done so many times before, not with all that he knew after his copious amounts of trial and error. Right?

the start of the fic kinda ended up being a little less condensed with details than i originally planned, but this was another "shouldn't have been more than 3k but now is almost 10k" fics that i just wanted to get out before the ao3 draft deleted LMAO. the latter two-thirds i love a lot more though and am very proud of, so i think leaving out some word vomit to get to the good stuff faster is worth it, and yadda yadda yadda i hope you enjoy the fic as much as i do! :D

THIS WEEK'S THE WEEK, FOLKS hopefully

IM GOING TO TRY TO CATHC UP ON CS WEEKLY AW YEAH!! ALRIGHT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

IT'S TIME FOR THE CHASING PAPER CAPER!

(look how cool these stars are they actually are sharp!! i folded a few of them, look!)

highly recommend- super easy to do with just sticky notes

ANYWAY here we go!!! notes under the cut as usual <3

MAN i am late on this episode but i am soo excited for it!!!

maelstrom wins for worst eyebags

sdjjfd mael's like yeah 💅 perhaps I am a little deranged

mael's va put his pussy into saying "intellect"

everyone and their mother has made vile presentation power point jokes already so im not going to beat a dead horse but. yeah. thats so fucking funny

CLEO ROLLS HER EYES AT BRUNT TOO HAHAHA

this bitch i stg

the way she smacks that table when she says darn right. i do believe her. she is texas proud. she would hate abortion

i also like that the show uses brunt as a vessel for the american seven year olds watching this who also have no idea what the magna carta is. its cool

i had no idea there were seventeen original copies of the magna carta. i guess i should have guessed but i think im used to the constitu- never mind there are 13 copies of that too. okay well we're learning today

okay so i think the museum the magna cartas is in is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya?? it looks very similar

in style, if a little changed for the show. really cool! i guess they didnt want to have to try to pronounce the name though

law and disorder (svu theme chime)

stealing paper, yes. but have you considered that paper star also. folds and throws and destroys with that paper and is generally NOT great at keeping it intact

bark bark i love watching season 1 through a post-shadowsan reveal lens. he knows paper star IS a threat, unlike most of the other operatives, so he opposes the idea,,

love maelstrom just cutting shadowsan off with a vote. he's stealing the symbols of democracy so his colleagues cant keep skipping out on majority rules

there actually is a cafe on the museum grounds that isnt EXACTLY where carmen is sitting but is pretty close. cs team did their research with this one

some guy named john is so funny

player jumped from the very general "you can't be arrested for no reason" to "YOU CANT HAVE YOUR HORSE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU" very quickly

well there isnt actually any "of the liberties" in the direct translation but alright

love how they have the english article "the" in the title of the magna cartas while talking about how its latin wheeze

rest in piece 3/4 turn views of the face. the carmen sandiego artstyle is beautiful until it has to neogotiate carmen not having a nose

interesting that the museum gets subtly lighted in green. we alll know what that means

i like the dramatic reveal of paper star but i also think. how did player not notice the security cams were already down

she had a lil choker

i love paper star so much. she's fantastic

she does make horse noises when she skips though, which is why jo likes her so much

yeah. paper star is so cool

hmmm

THEY HAVE NEVER WRITTEN A BETTER AND MORE DEFINING LINE IN THIS SHOW THAN "RED IS A SMART COLOR FOR YOU. IT WILL HIDE THE STAINS." WHAT THE FUCK THEY POPPED OFFF ON THAT LINE

SHE SAYS IT AND CARMEN CANT DO SHIT SHE JUST RUNS. CARMEN IS LITERALLY ON THE DEFENSIVE ALWAYS IN THIS FIGHT KSHFDSH ITS SO GOOD

you know shit is real when someone protects the face

i love how carmen puts her fists up to fight like a normal operative v carmen fight and then ps just pulls out the stars its so funny. its like the indiana jones scene when he just pulls out a gun

YES this fight is a challenge for carmen and i LOVE IT

LITERALLY WHAT COULD BE BETTER CARMEN ALMOST GETS STABBED IN THE NECK ITS GREAT. PAPER STAR IS A GREAT VILLAIN. YEAH

so glad kimiko glenn could voice her god she does such a good job

paper star used up the smear frame budget in this one scene alone

i love how carmen tries her quip and fight formula again and AGAIN paper star is like. no <3 i am going to rip you to shreds with this terrible pun i made up and carmen is SO OVER IT JSDHGHS

love how carmen didnt move like girlie what did you think she was going to do with those pamphlets

papertiger fans go wild

no way did that fucking tiger decapitate a stone statue what the fuck does she put in there knives??? paper star gives children razors in their halloween candy i guess

once again carmen's love for saving things that she has mostly already ruined causes her to have a disadvantage! it sure would suck if another falling statue at some point was weaponized. that would suck

LOOK AT THE GOUGES THOSE PAMPHLET STARS MADE WHAT THE FUCK

the cut hat staying there is so funny to me for some reason

dont try to be sneaky, carmen. just walk right up the center

the transitions with the tapestry and paperstar's folds are cool as fuck

HOW DID SHE GET UP THERE

also she disappears behind that second tapestry which means she was clinging onto the back of the fabric like a koala. good image

paper star: wraps carmen in a tapestry s4 evil carmen in the finale: hey that was a good idea. julia come here

paper star is the queerest bitch on the map at all times and i love her so much for that

laughing so hard imagining how many takes gina had to do of carmen's pained moaning as she struggles in the paper wrap

yeah. paper star. okay as if i haven't gushed about her enough she is. so good. the little mm-mm-mm! as carmen struggles. going against all of vile's ideals as she leaves traces EVERYWHERE and then pulls the fire alarm, not hiding in plain sight at all. she leaves carmen wrapped up for the cops. yeah. god. yeah

least favorite part of this episode of carmen being more upset about her hat than she is about losing The Fucking Magna Cartas and GOOD GRAVY SHE MOANS ABOUT THE HAT FOR SO LONG CARMEN YOU HAVE LIKE FIFTEEN

i love seeing the remains of the fight when acme steps in the next day!! you can track where paper star shot at carmen and then wrapped her up, where she was firing on the first floor, the different types of paper..

where did paper star put that glass circle she cut out

chase just randomly picks up evidence barehanded and then tosses it to the floor 2. fuck him fuck him straight to hell. so glad this is a pro-julia episode jhfashgdfa

all she does is romanticize the scoundrel it is all she CAN do

yeah acme is secret and not even their families know about it. but also every cop ever knows about it too okay

chase. thats it thats the post (i dont actually hate him. hes funny. but also insufferable at times. that is our wife you are slandering, sir)

i cant tell if i want to make a joke or a serious comment about how she's doing a finger gun at the image of carmen so i'll just leave it here

FULL OF LOVE AND AUTISM

chase: the only agent who has been face to face with her the train scene: i am about to ruin this whole man's career

HAH. says player. next on the news

(eda voice) look its an outdated human reference

why was le chevre up there. did he come down from the cliff face just for fun. or scale it just for fun. nevermind that checks out

the people in this show have ankles of steel they be dropping 20-30 feet and just fine with it

everyone tries to banter with paper star and she just. no

the shifty glance around from le chevre shdgkjsghd

the drop in her tone and face when she says he looks like he would get caught is so good

PIPPI PUNKSTOCKINGS

she is straight up torturing this guy how did paper star get past the censors

its like he was swinging his dick around in her face and going NOO NOT MY DICK PLEASE NOT MY DICK you are literally offering them as targets sir they are the closest thing to her

and from that day on fanfiction writers across the globe only called her tammy again

rOLL CREDITS /ref

oh i havent mentioned the music in this episode yet. its so good. yeah

the animation also is beautiful. the train is very nice w/ the reflections in the water

and then chase showed up to ruin her day

THE LITTLE tsk. ugh. SHE DOES IS SO FUNNY

i love how she's just humoring him he's not even in the realm of worth her full attention

honestly impressed by how chill chase is in the conversation? last time he was on a train with "her" he whipped off "her" hat and screamed in "her" face. then with ivy he jumped her snowmobile and triumphantly yelled at her again

he's just kind of like. yeah cool. im around carmen sandiego. we should have a lovely chat and then i shall get her to lead me calmly to the magna cartas. this could not possibly go wrong

love chase where did he think she was hiding them

awww theyre holding hands

criminal of this show to not show her kicking his ass in the tunnel it would have been soo funny

i love the little fakeout they do in the tunnel too. like omg did he cuff her??? no she used an uno reverse card

ALSO the little details of this show. before carmen says "or what? you'll cuff me?" she glances out the train window. she already has this scene so perfectly choreographed in her mind that she can just time the tunnel and make her escape its so good

acme keycard!!!! little did carmen know that pickpocketing that card would lead to coach brunt most of the way murdering her in a basement a few weeks from now

HERE WE GO YOU GUYS THE GAY SCENE OF ALL TIME

AGAIN julia is on her tablet gosh i dont know why i dont ever think of her as tech savvy but she is ALWAYS tapping on that thing

julia is so nice to her carmen just. sits dsgjagkdsh

THE WAY SORRY CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SOME RANDO HOT LADY SAT DOWN ACROSS FROM YOU WITH NO PERMISSION AND THEN JUST WENT PARTNER 🤨🤨🤨🤨???? AT YOU WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE WORD LIKE SHE WAS DOING HER MAKEUP (so it seemed) AND SHE JUST. DROPPED EVERYTHING

is the plausible reason that "partner" set off cop warnings in carmen's head? yes. but is the gay reason that she wanted to make sure she wasn't about to flirt with some poor married woman? also yes is the gay response to this gay reason julia canonically going "NO GOD IM NOT WITH HIM WITH HIM"? yes and yes!!

THE IMMEDIATE JULES GOD

julia puts down her tablet and gives her FULL attention to carmen to talk about the taj mahal,,, yeahh....

ALSO i enjoy how carmen maneuvers the conversation. she asks julia's name and then immediately asks an engaging question afterward so that julia doesn't think to ask for HER name...

love how julia leans forward to talk to carmen augh...she is so engaged and relaxed

that line is so fucking iconic. the Eyes she's giving. the lean. she loves history even more. the fucking setup for way down in season 4

HAHAAAA JULIA PICKS UP ON THAT LITTTLE TINY CLUE CARMEN DROPS HER SO FAST AND I LOVE THAT SO MUCH...THE WAY SHE JUST IMMEDIATELY SITS UP AND HER BRAIN GOES wait a minute something about that remark wasn't right YEAH...YEAH YEAH YEAH

AND THEN SHE JUST STANDS UP OUT OF SHOCK ONCE SHE REALIZES WHO SHE JUST CHATTED WITH HEHEHE

god i honestly think that if chase hadn't been putting her down and scoffing at her interests and making her stay behind at crime scenes she would have gone after carmen. can you IMAGINE how different the episode would have been if she'd gone after her???? GOD (i can imagine....i have imagined....the polycule has done....a LOT of imagining...)

that liiiittle glance behind that carmen does to see if julia is following her before she starts focusing on paper star..

man i NEVER used to be able to figure out how paper star sensed carmen peeking around the corner but i realized about a year ago that she saw her reflection in the window...AUGH the little details of this show are so good

THE WAY CARMEN JUST POUNCES ON HER IS SO FUNNY

that gay little roll. paper star makes every fight just a little gay actually. now kiss

those shoes must have hurt so bad to get kicked with ow

second toilet paper joke of the episode. laugh.

i love the pro-environment message this episode was halfheartedly trying to juggle. it did not come across fantastically

the way paper star's eyes light up when she sees new paper is great

PAPER STAR'S THEME IS SO GOOOD....HOW SHE JUST. she just goes. "you should run." somehow she's the most campy villain and the most down-to-earth serious threat could and would kill you villain in the show and she rocks both at once

paper star is vaccuming her

you also know shit gets real when the background turns into a mass of colored streaks

i ALSO love about paper star that she can and does hold her own in hand-to-hand. yeah she's bet with her stars but she can pack a punch or a kick

TELL ME HOW CARMEN NABBED THAT CASE IN THE MILLISECOND BETWEEN PAPER STAR GRABBING THE PAPERS AND DRAWING BACK

carmen: yes i do think i will run now

i also like this fight because we don't often get to see carmen fighting when she's not in her trench coat. it gives it a much more sporadic, caught-off-guard feel to the whole thing somehow- which is again a trademark of paper star!! she doesn't do things like everyone else

something about the way carmen sprints to the end of the train and then turns around is so fucking funny. yes that is the last car! congratulations! its a good thing you came up here instead of trapping yourself in the interior of the last car I guess

rock paper scissors wind

THE FLIP OVER THE SHOULDER GAY STARE IS ALSO ICONIC AND SUCH A GOOD MOVE. carmen initiated it but fuck if she knows what she's going to do afterwards

ill say it again and a fcuking gain how much i like how much of a threat paper star is. yes girl. fling her off the train not once (sort of) but twice. carmen was an inch away from falling headfirst off that train and she knew it

i am not sure how exactly carmen pulled herself up from a lean by grabbing paper star's boobs and pulling her towards her but im good with it. also look at this animation she is desperate!! yess!!!!!! EMOTION!!!!

AND LEGO HANDS!!!!

now KISS

OBSESSED WITH HOW STRONG PAPER STAR IS WHEEZE SHE JUST F L I N G S CARMEN OFF THE SIDE. HER FEET ARE OFF THE FLOOR. BYE

the couple not even looking up from the newspaper is so funny

i love the broken physics of that vent(?) cover (?) throw its extremely entertaining to watch

carmen's triumph motif playing and then cutting to paper star just hanging there while a crow squawks at her is very funny. she just looks at it. i would like to think she makes friends with it. she does like murder

"agent devineaux??" "mnyeh.."

AND SHE DELIVERS THE MAGNA CARTAS TO HERRRR

good hands :))))

i love that she doesn't even need to say anything. we are just left to understand that paper star did end up one-upping her here in the end, and its this moment that nearly kills both her and chase

sassypants

i like the contrast of brunt and cleo shielding themselves when she throws the card, versus maelstrom standing and not flinching. he knows her better than they do

damn

i thought that was a vase theyre just his pants

HEHEE GOD THATS A GOOD EPISODE. yeah. yeah. okay

thats all i have to say for this one. other than the french connections caper this is my favorite episode in season 1!!

[kichimiangra]

Was chatting with my brother the other day about vpets while I continue to try not to pre-order the Virus Busters Pen Color (my will crumbles by the day) and I brought up a semi recent YouTube video by Humulos, near the end he mentioned that we might get a lull in New Digimon vpet releases because with the Pendulum Color releases done, where do you go from there aside from remaking the anime Digivice toys?

So me and my brother chatted about what we thought would be cool to see as the next step in digimon virtual pets and we came up with something kinda fun in theory!

So most people have agreed that Bandai is phasing out the Vital Bracelet considering there hasn't been any new announcements for it and I honestly have to say I really LIKED buying dim cards to add more digimon to my collection. I love the standard Keychain re-released but it would be cool if someone the idea could be reused.

It was when my brother said "What would be cool is with the Digimon TCG doing well is if they released a bunch of Amiibo card style cards that you can amiibo scan with your Vpet toy to unlock eggs that weren't on the vpet toy, so you can have dlc in the form of cards from the tcg booster packs likr "If you scan this Leafmon card it puts a wormmon egg in your vpet, or even item cards like "if you scan this clockmon card it knocks 6 hours off your vpets wait time to evolve"!

If you can't tell my brother, tho not a huge digimon fan, likes vpets and LOVED the card scanning concept from the tamers anime. "The best part is that if designed correctly even if Bandai decided to phase out the card game or the theoretical vpet in the future the card game and vpet still completely function separately from eachother unlike if your vital bracelets app is shut down."

This got me thinking about how D-coms/A-coms exist and how they have been used in the past to allow Vpets to communicate via computer of be used to play a fan made digimon mmo; "W0rld" and threw in that if Bandai also made a game, wether an mmo or just a single/multi-player experience with an official D-Com release that has an additional scanner for the cards game cards and how that too would be an interesting multimedia branch to the next step in vpets, provided that it's designed around functioning perfectly well as it's own game while the vpet and cards just add to the experience.

So we basically agreed that "It'd be cool to go play with your Lillymon deck at tcg night at a comic book store, then on the way home tend your Lillymon vpet that you hatched from an egg scanned g rom your Lillymon card, then plug your vpet in and play throughout file island in your digimon computer game with your Lillymon."

The Vital bracelets sprites looked great and those assets could be flipped for the vpet itself, giving a modern look to the classic vpet formula in the way Tamagotchis have evolved, and Cyberslueth/Hackers Memory/World: Next 0rder have a huge library of Digimon models and animations that would work fine in a game, and as long as the TCG cards are designed to function like a normal card within the tcg bubble, it would basically have a head start from an asset flipping standpoint to get started.

Dunno it the technology is completely there, but Bandai doesn't seem super confident in Digimons ability to sell outside of the tcg and repackaging the older vpet toys for nostalgic adults so the motivation on a project like that might not be there, but this is just a cool idea and if advertised and packaged correctly might attract a new Gen of Digimon fans to one of the 3 branches of that project and maybe convince them to try out one of the other two branches? Who knows. I just know that the English release of the Vital Bracelet had the least fun packaging I had ever seen in my life for a monster collector/raising game that slapping batman on it was probably the best idea Bandai could have had for it.

Anyway now I go back to my June 11th morning and trying not to burry my sadness on vpet purchases.

Ps. Alsi if it could be designed around replaceable shells because the throwback tamagotchis keep releasing these cool shells and the only thing that keeps me from buying these is that I already HAVE Tamas with that hardware. The ONLY reason I didn't buy the Kenji Watanabe Grafiti design Metal Greymon and Numemon Digimon 20th's is because I already HAD version 20th's with that hardware. But cut the price in half and just sell me the shells and I would be a very poor person!

Lip service 👄 @yelyahwilliams PS: I’ve been getting some ?’s about maintaining Hayley’s blonde while on tour. Here’s what we’ve been using from the @gooddyeyoung collection to keep this blonde on point: 1. PRE-WASH: A gentle scalp scrub formulated for colored hair. We use this once a week before shampoo. I🧡this bc it’s gentle but effective. It removes product buildup from all of the styling we do on tour, it promotes healthy hair growth, & bonus this formula has anti-inflammatory properties that sooth itchy, irritated scalps. 2. WASH: Color-protecting shampoo that properly cleanses and REALLY maintains the vibrancy of the color much longer than other shampoos + adds intense shine. 3. RINSE: This is the conditioner created to pair with WASH. Color-protecting, detangling, and repairing. Also has 🌻oil to control frizz & damage. 4. PLATINUM DYEPOSIT: Dyeposit is our color depositing mask. We use this once a week from roots and the end of the blonde (not on the orange & black ends). This helps cancel any brass or yellow tones. It also is packed with hair healthy ingredients to hydrate & undo hair damage. Plus it smells SO good. 5. PRIME: This is a must!! We use this priming spray on damp hair to coat the hair cuticle to lock in color & keep from fading. We use a lot of heat styling on tour which can damage the hair & fade color, but this priming spray protects against that!

IN 2023, THE 5 BEST ANTIFUNGAL NAIL POLISHES

Nail fungus is a frequent issue that can harm your nails and be tough to treat. There are numerous cures available, but one that is rarely addressed is the use of nail polish as an antifungal solution. Nail fungus is a disorder that can develop when the nail structure is compromised. This can involve cell damage under and around your nails caused by bacteria or other causes such as pollutants in the water. Discolored growths on top of the diseased area and thicker portions surrounding it with an awful odor are symptoms of this infection.

This article looks at the top antifungal nail paint options for 2023.

THE FIVE BEST ANTI-FUNGAL NAIL POLISHES

To avoid further damage from nail fungus, it is critical to apply organic and natural nail polish. Dr.'s Remedy's non-toxic kit includes three brilliant colors in a pack of strengthening, organic, toxin-free polish for both fingers and toes! Biotin garlic bulb extracts lavender and contains compounds such as tea tree oil. Furthermore, this polish checks all the boxes, making it a fantastic choice if you want a long-lasting shine with potent anti-fungal characteristics.

The DaniPro Doctor Formulated nail paint is ideal for keeping your nails healthy and colorful. It contains undecylenic acid, which aids in the prevention of fungal growth while preserving the strength of your natural nails. This one-of-a-kind recipe also provides the finest chip resistance, allowing you to enjoy beautiful manicured fingers for days without touching up! DaniPro's nail paint is free of chemicals and toxins because the company understands how vital this product is in keeping infected fingernails safe from infection.

PS Cosmeceutical Infused Nail Lacquer is your new nail polish go-to. This lacquer has stunning purple and orchid tones with a glittery texture that lasts all day! This professional-grade treatment also contains no formaldehyde, protecting your nails from hazardous compounds such as camphor and resins. It's long-lasting without being prone to chipping, so you may wear it with confidence every time.

Pros:

Fungus prevention formula. Perfect for fungus-infected nails. Improve the overall appearance of your nails. A medium consistency with a smooth application. Cons:

It is true.Furthermore, it does not dry quickly. Expensive.

TWO IN ONE GLAZE WAS ENRICHED BY DR.'S REMEDY

Your nails will be long-lasting and durable using Dr.'s Remedy! This topcoat seals the nail paint so it doesn't peel or flake for weeks. Apply as a foundation layer before painting for a natural effect, or directly onto white spots on toes to make them disappear in seconds! This gloss is great for those who suffer from fungal infections of their nails and cannot afford expensive treatments like prescription medications - you'll never have an itch again with these amazing results.

NovaNailPLUS Powerful Antifungal Agent is ready to treat onychomycosis-affected nails. But don't worry, this base coat contains 1% artemisia tridentata extract and 4% Melaleuca alternifolia oil to prevent it from spreading further! This antifungal treatment swiftly penetrates your nails, ensuring that they not only appear but also feel clean!

If left untreated, nail fungus can be hazardous. It is critical to treat it promptly and correctly since the longer you wait, the worse your nail will become.

Fungal infections typically begin around the nails or in skin folds such as the armpits, but they should not spread if treated properly and on time.

CAN ANTIFUNGAL NAIL POLISH HELP?

Antifungal nail lacquer is a fantastic choice for fungus control. Antibacterial and antifungal elements are infused into the lotion to not only prevent spread but also to begin repairing nails faster than other treatment alternatives such as bathing your hands in vinegar or using over-the-counter medicine.

WOULD I BE ABLE TO WEAR NAIL POLISH IF I HAD TOENAIL FUNGUS?

Do you suffer from toenail fungus? Then you should be cautious about using nail paint. Antifungal paints are a good bet, but if you require a different make-up or hue, start with the base coat and then layer on your preferred colors.

HOW TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF TOENAIL FUNGUS?

Wearing antifungal nail paint is the greatest way to conceal toenail fungus. Clean the affected area every day with water and cleaners, then apply a coat of transparent polish on top. You can even paint your nails to make them look nicer while concealing the illness beneath!

CONCLUSION

We hope you found this guide on the best antifungal nail polish of 2023 to be interesting and useful. Several elements such as touch-ups and chip resistance can influence your choices, so we recommend taking some time to consider what is essential to you before making a decision.

Also, consider how much money you have available and whether these products will be effective in treating fungus on both your hands and feet. Hopefully, our list has relieved some of your worry by providing you with a convenient starting point for your search for the ideal product!

ROG Maximus Z790 Formula: Perfect graphics motherboard

Motherboards: ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula & ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore Pictured

The ultra-enthusiast APEX Encore & Formula motherboards from ASUS’s forthcoming ROG Maximus Z790 lineup have been shown.

Two enthusiast-grade ROG Maximus Z790 motherboards from ASUS are being prepared for use with Intel’s 14th generation processors, The Formula and APEX Encore. Associated Images

It was already known that ASUS was putting together new ROG Z790 upgrades to coincide with the release of desktop CPUs powered on Intel’s 14th generation Raptor Lake architecture. Now, thanks to leaker Momomo_US, we have images of these motherboards. The recently released ROG Maximus and ROG STRIX motherboards are among those shown.

Motherboard, ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula

We are receiving a white and black color scheme for the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula to start, and it looks fantastic. The ROG Water-Cooling Zone water block, which customers may attach to their current custom-loop configurations for greater thermal performance on the VRMs, is the main feature of this motherboard.

Additionally, users have access to certain useful buttons on the board that allow them to power on, reset, and use the Flexkey function of Formula motherboards.

As for the technical details, the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Formula keeps the ATX form size and has a twin 8-pin CPU connection setup. There are four DDR5 DIMM slots, each of which can accommodate speeds of up to 192 GB and over 8000 MT/s. The M.2 heatsinks are located behind the white shield that completely encases the motherboard’s front.

The board has two PCIe x16 slots for expansion and a large range of I/O interfaces, including WIFI 7 compatibility, two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C connections, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-C connector, 5 GbE LAN, several USB 3.2 ports, and BIOS Flashback/Clear CMOS switches. Since the ROG Maximus Z690 Formula was priced in the $700–$800 US range, the motherboard should be reasonably priced in that area as well.

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX

The ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore, the company’s best overclocking motherboard and the final member of the LGA 1700 series, will be discussed next. This motherboard has a VRM that is designed to maximize the performance of Intel’s newest 14th-generation CPUs and is powered by two 8-pin ports.

The motherboard has two DDR5 DIMM slots that can accommodate a single DIMM in addition to pushing memory overclocks beyond 10,000 MT/s.Two M.2 devices can fit into a 2 slot. You receive two PCIe x16 slots and two PCIe x4 slots for expansion. Four conventional ports, including one Gen 5×4 linked to the CPU channels, are included in M.2 slots. Four SATA III ports are also included.

A detachable fan attachment that may be utilized as an active fan-cooler for the DDR5 DIMMs is also included with the motherboard. When using them at higher clock rates, this could be very beneficial for memory stability.

The motherboard has an additional 8-pin socket to supply it with more power, and next to the Debug LED are many buttons for overclocking and tweaking. I/O has two PS/2 connections that are useful for overclockers along with 9 USB 3.2 ports, 1 USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, WIFI 7 support, 2.5 GbE LAN, BIOS flashback, and clean CMOS buttons. As it replaces the existing APEX, the motherboard should likewise have a retail price of about $700–$800 US.

Motherboard, ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI

Last but not least, there is the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI II, a complete upgrade to the original ROG Z790-F Gaming WIFI with a number of little improvements including improved I/O, better cooling, better looks, and a VRM that is optimized for 14th Gen CPUs.

Expect this board to cost somewhat more than the current ROG STRIX-F model, which sells for about $400 US. The four updated ROG Z790 motherboards should be available for purchase in the upcoming week, which is also the time that Intel will introduce its 14th Gen Raptor Lake desktop CPUs.

Together - Lando Norris

MASTERLIST (requests are open!)

Summary : You've been dating Lando for a few months now. Your relationship was beautiful. But it was a secret. Were you ready to show your love to the world ?

Warnings : panic attack, tiny bit of language, light smut insinuated but mostly just an adorable Lando and me daydreaming about visiting Dubai

Words count : +5K

A/N : I saw his video for the John Cobb Memorial Trophy, wanted to write about it and then got carried away. I hope you'll like it ! Feedbacks are more than welcome🌻

PS : English isn’t my first language, so sorry if there’s any mistakes ! 🧡

not my gif, credits to the owner ! (how is he so cuuuute)

🌻🌻🌻

"Love, have you sheen my shoes ?", Lando shouted from upstairs.

"Here, in the hallway where they are supposed to be", you chuckled. You were also putting your shoes on. How he could be so childish sometimes. He rushed to put them on, without forgetting to kiss the top of our head.

"Alright, I'm ready. Do we need to pick up Max or are we meeting there ?", Lando asked you a serious face on. You looked at him, concern writing all over your face.

Max got out of the gaming room. "Did you forget I was living there, mate ?", he asked in pure disbelief.

"Oh right, I tend to forget since you're not paying any rent", the formula 1 driver answered.

Max was about to reply but decided it was easier to throw whatever he had in hands at Lando before sprinting to exit the corridor. You couldn't help but let out a true laugh. These two couldn't stop form annoying each other. They looked like two toddlers brothers.

"Shall we go ?", Lando asked you. He took you in his arms. He made you look at him by cupping gently your cheeks. " People are gonna see us together, you know that ? ", he insisted on the together.

You and Lando were dating for a few months now. You loved him dearly but making your relationship public was terrifying you. You feared the public eye. Everyone would analyze your every move, your every word and you weren't ready for this.

You sighed loudly. Lando knew how you felt. It wasn't bothering him. He liked your secret relationship. Well, not so secret. All of your friends and both your family knew. From time to time, the curly haired boy would still ask you about making it public.

"I'm not sure yet", you said, groaning in annoyance. Not toward Lando, but toward yourself. You'd wish you could do it. You hated yourself for being this scared. But everytime you thought it was time, you started to panic and imagine the worst scenarios. So you'd back down. You buried your head in his chest. His heart was beating steadily, it always managed to calm you down.

"It's alright, love. We have time, plenty of time ", he said while planting little kiss on your forehead. "I love you, sweetheart", he then captured your lips in a gentle kiss.

"Oi, gross ! Don't make out in front of me !", Max screamed. He was hiding his eyes behind his hands, like a kid seeing his parents kiss. You started laughing, Lando quickly joining you.

"I hate the both of you. Now, c'mon, let's go to Winter Wonderland !", he added. He was already out of the door. You were excited too, the night promised to be magical.

And it was. You had so much fun with your two favorite boys.

Lando got you a stuffed seahorse. It was half your size, and had amazing colors. It took him many tries but he finally won it. He knew you loved those little creatures and wanted to put a bigger smile on your face. He'd do anything for your pretty eyes.

On a larger note, everything went well. You managed to hold Lando's hand once very discreetly. It felt great to be able to experience his touch in public.

You were laying in bed, your new stuffed friend happily resting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Lando to be ready. He soon joined you, putting all his weight on you.

"Hi", he simply said.

"Hi, stranger", you laughed happily. He looked at you with heart eyes. His arm rose to come rest next to your head. His nose touched yours, and went to explore the curves of a face he knew perfectly, like he made it himself. Like it was made to be his.

"I was thinking...", you kept talking. He hummed in response, not stopping his loving touch. You wrapped your hands around his thick neck.

"It felt nice to hold your hand tonight", you confessed him. Your voice was so low. Almost a whisper, if the room hadn't been silent, Lando wouldn't have heard it.

He moved his head backwards to have a better look at you. He immediately understood what you meant to say. He was seeking in your eyes if you were serious or not. Your fingertips went to graze his eyebrows.

"It did", he answered. He didn't want to put any pressure on you. He refused to be the one to say it, too scared you'd feel forced. He'd wait for you to say you were 100% ready.

"We've got time ?", you asked him.

"We've got plenty of time, love", he confirmed. He kissed your lips again and again.

Lando's phone kept buzzing all night. You looked up at yours to see if something was up. You feared one of your loved ones could've had an accident or worst.

What you found you on phone left you speechless. The air left your lungs. There it was, your fairytale returning to a nightmare.

It didn't take long for your little escapade with Lando to be all over the internet. Blurred pictures of the two of you were leaked. Many users were wondering who you were and if you were dating Lando. Some were really sweet, but some were abominably mean.

Is that Lando's gf ? Ewwww

She doesn't look right for him

Is it me or does she look ugly ????

100% Lando could do better

I hope she's not her gf

The pictures were blurred and taken from afar. People couldn't even see your face, you were barely a silhouette. And yes you were close to Lando, but you were between him and Max. No reason to believe anything. Yet, it was trending everywhere and people were already making assumptions.

You couldn't look at your phone anymore. It was too much for you, everything felt heavy. Your head was hurting like hell. You kept moving in bed, your mind weren't going to let you fall asleep again.

You loved Lando with every inch of you. When you first met him, you knew who he was, it has never been a secret. You were one of Ria's friends. You met with the green eyed boy a few times at various friends gathering. He was always extra sweet to you. Complimenting your clothes, helping you with anything, smiling your way from across the room. He was following you like your ghost. It didn't take long for you to fall deeply in love with that perfect famous guy. It was weird. Around you, he was just Lando the goofy twenty-something boy but as soon as he stepped out in the world, he was Lando Norris, the brilliant racing driver. That specific aspect from his life refrained you from dating him. He could sensed that you liked him a lot but didn't dare to make a move. So he nicely tried. Asking you on dates that wasn't dates like Hey do you want to go ice skating with me and Max ? And then, turned out Max cancelled last minute so it would be just you and Lando. Everytime it happened, you'd turn him down. He was so lost. Your words said no, but your looks and laughs said otherwise.

One day, Niran held a party in his house. Everyone was getting drunk. You stayed sober, wanting to be fully conscious on your way home. You went outside to stargaze. Lando joined you. You knew he didn't like drinking, so the chances he was drunk were very low.

"Why are you avoiding me ?", he let his mind spoke for him. He wanted to know if he was daydreaming or if you felt the things he was feeling. He needed to know what was going between the two of you.

"I'm not. The night is beautiful", you just answered, trying to change the subject. You didn't want to have that conversation. You didn't want your heart to break.

"Please, I need to know", he pleaded. He slowly moved his hand to put it on top of yours. He was scared to get rejected. Much to his relief, you didn't flinch away.

"I'm terrified", you told him. You didn't dare to look into his eyes. You felt the tears rising in you. To this day, you still really didn't know how, but Lando immediately acknowledged what you meant.

"We'll be okay, you'll be fine", he promised you.

The night ended with you and Lando more in love than ever.

The memory was haunted you. You were thinking about that night. You should have left. You had trust Lando, and you shouldn't have. You won't be fine. Your relationship was beautiful, but what came with it was unbearable for you. Too much. It was just too much.

Your breathing started to go crazy. You knew what was coming. You were having a panic attack. You shot up in your bed. Your hands flew to your neck and chest trying to calm it down. Your heart was drumming inside your rib cage. You felt dizzy. You managed to get out of bed, and locked yourself in the bathroom. You let it all out. You collapsed on the cold floor tile, sobbing uncontrollably.

With all the noises you were doing, Lando woke up. He tapped the bed a little, searching for your figure. When he couldn't find you, he sensed something was wrong. That's when he heard you crying. He rushed to the bathroom, but your weight prevented it to open.

"Love ?", Lando called nicely. You couldn't answer. You wanted him to go away. You wanted to be alone. You wished you could turn to dust. Your mind was seeing everything in black. You couldn't find something to be happy for. You felt hopeless.

"Honey, please open the door. I wanna help you. Please, sweetheart", Lando was pleading you. He had tears in his eyes. It wasn't the first time you had a panic attack. He knew what to do. But mostly he knew what could go through your head during it. "Please, please", he kept saying.

You put your body a little to the side. It felt like moving a heavy bulldozer. Lando heard you shifting and tried to open the door. It let just enough space for him to slide in. His heart broke into a million pieces when he saw you shattered on the floor. He kneeled next to you. You were a complete mess.

"What happened ? You know you can talk to me, I'm here for you angel", his words only made you only cry more. For the first time in your relationship, he didn't understand what was going on. He didn't understand you. He gulped. Did he do something wrong ? Shit, he was trying to relive the whole day, the whole week even. He couldn't find something. He was wondering what he could have done to put you in this awful state. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. He hated to see you this way. He hated when he was useless. He wanted to erase all the pain from your life. He didn't dare to touch you, fearing you'd reject his touch. It would break his heart way too much.

"Your phone", was all you said. Your voice was barely audible, it croaked a little bit. Lando frowned. He hesitantly let you alone and went to pick up his phone from the nightstand in the bedroom. When he saw hundred of notifications, it didn't take him long to understand the situation. He sighed loudly.

"Fuck !", he whispered-yelled. He hated the whole world. Couldn't he have a tiny bit of privacy ? He didn't ask for much, just for people to let him live his life. With whomever he wanted by his side. No one had to say something about it. He chose you, and he was the happiest man in the world. He'd choose you in a crowded room. He'd always choose you. Everyone else could fuck off.

He came back to the bathroom. Your breath was still mad, but you were crying a little less. Your eyes was red, your whole body was shaking. Your whole universe was about to be turned upside down. Lando was probably going to leave you. Who would want a girl like you ? All those comments started to fill your head up, and you begun to believe them.

"I'm sorry, so sorry", he said in the sweetest voice possible. It was shaking but he tried to hide it. He didn't want to show you that he was scared too. He wasn't really scared of the comments - he was mostly annoyed by it. At the beginning of his career, he let them got to his head. Social medias can be cruel. He learnt it the hard way. He didn't want it to happened to you too. He was terrified that you wouldn't be able to overcome it and would walk out on him. He would hate himself for the rest of his existence if the love of his life slipped away from him.

"Can I hold you ?", he asked you. You sniffled and erased your dry tears from your cheeks with the sleeve of your shirt. You didn't answer immediately. You were looking at the wall tile. Physically you were with him, but you drifted away mentally.

"I don't know how much I can take, Lando", you honestly replied surprising Lando. He wasn't excepting you to open up this easily. The racing driver's heart broke into a million pieces.

"Don't say that. We'll make it through. I promised you you'll be fine and I meant it", this time he didn't ask you before taking you against his chest, hugging you from behind. You were sitting between his thighs. He placed your head near his heart, fully aware that his heartbeat would calm you.

"Let's just try to catch our breath for the moment, alright ?", he interlaced both of your hands with his and moved it to your stomach.

In this specific moment, you realized how much you loved Lando, and mostly how much Lando loved you.

The both of you stayed in this embrace. You didn't know how much time had passed. You looked at Lando. He looked extremely tired. You felt awful for waking him up in the middle of the night. His eyes were closed, but you could see that he'd been crying. And it was all your fault.

"I'm sorry", you told him, breaking the comforting silence.

"Don't be, I'm the one that need to apologize", you cut him off before he could kept going.

"Guess it's none of our fault really". Lando kissed the top of your head and murmured a little 'I guess'.

"I know this feels like a lot right now but it will be okay. People will let it go. They'll get used to it. To us. And we don't even have to care about them. Let's live our love story, princess. Just you and me, together against the rest of the world", Lando said to your ear. "I love you, Y/N. You're the best thing that's ever been mine", he kissed your cheek.

Lando was right. You should focus on your relationship, and not everyone else. You were happy and it was all that mattered. It was easier said than done, but you were ready to make all the efforts in the world to let go of people's opinions and live your life.

That night made you grow even closer to Lando. You were partners in crime. Where one goes, the other follows.

You even decided to come the last GP of the season. The chocolate curly boy was happy to put you in his suitcase. He couldn't wait to show you the paddock, his car, and everything. But mostly, he was happy that you'd get to see him drive on track for real. He was hoping to get a good result, for you to see how incredible he was - even if you already knew it.

Abu Dhabi was unbelievable. You stayed with the Quadrant squad in the VIP section. You loved being a part of this adventure. You tasted it and wanted more. Maybe in 2022, you'd go to more races. Maybe you could be inside the McLaren's garage.

The night before the race, Lando sneaked you into the garage. There wasn't anyone in there, it felt so peaceful. He explained everything to you, from the tiniest piece on his car to the audio system of the whole garage. He let you hop into the car and put his helmet on you. You were pretending to drive, and Lando was shouting "And here comes Y/N Y/L/N !", both of you dying of laughter.

Then, he took you to his motorhome. "Well, here's my abroad home". You smiled at his words. There was a picture of you hanging on the wall above the bed. And the pink sweater you thought you'd lost ages ago was standing proudly on a chair.

"Is that my sweater ?", you asked. He shrugged his shoulders, a playful smile on his face.

"It has your perfume. I like to have it here, it helps me calm down before each session", he simply told you.

"Gosh, Norris, how do you do to make me fall in love with you a little more everyday ?".

Lando ended P7, but mostly P5 in the drivers standings. You knew he was aiming for P4 but still, you were beyond proud of him.

He had a great yet very exhausting season. Both physically and mentally. He needed to take a break. 2022 was right around the corner. The upcoming season promised to take a harder toll on the british driver.

He deserved a good vacation. That's why you left for Dubai. His family and friends joined the two of you. It was nice. Lando appreciated to be surrounded by his loved ones. He hasn't spent a lot of times with his family lately, so it was great to have them around.

Everyone was staying in a luxury hotel in town. The view was amazing, it was just right in front of the sea. You and Lando decided to rent a private suite for the both of you while the rest of his crew were divided into several suites one floor below. You spent the whole time all together, but Lando knew it'd be nice to have a little privacy from time to time.

You did so many incredible things. From trips into the desert and golf, of course. You went scuba diving, exciting to see some seahorses. Sadly, noon made an appearance. You were a little sad, but didn't show it. Lando knew you were secretly disappointed, so he bought you a seahorse keychain to cheer you up. How he paid attention to any details was impressive to you.

You enjoyed that quality time with every pieces of your heart. You forgot all about your insecurities, and the trouble that can be the outside world. You were in a little bubble with Lando, and it was the best thing ever.

One morning, you decided to stay in bed a little longer. You've heard Lando get up, but the warmth of the covers was begging you to stay in. You heard the door creaked open and your favorite boy jumped on you.

"Good morning, princess ! I have an excellent news ! C'mon get up, breakfast's there", he shouted. He didn't wait for an answer and disappeared into the hotel's living room again. You stretched and yawned. How was it possible for someone to be that joyful in the morning ? Lando was a ray of sunshine under any circumstances.

You put on your favorite sweat-shirt Lando's old favorite sweat-shirt and joined him. He was just in his boxer, already eating his fruits bowl. You stayed at the embrace of the door, admiring the man in front of you. He was so effortlessly sexy. He shot his head up and looked at you with a genuine smile on his face.

"I got an award", he said while signaling you to sit with him. You hummed, waiting for him to explain further. "It's the John Cobb Memorial Trophy from the British Racing Drivers Club ! It's awarded to a British driver, driving a British car who has achieved success of outstanding character", he said grinning from ear to ear.

You strapped on his laps. Your lips went to lightly brush over his, not really kissing him yet. "Congrats, champ. Another trophy that you'll get to keep at home", you said slowly. He hummed in a raspy voice. "I'm so proud of you, my love. You deserved it, and so much more", you told him in a charming voice. Your hands were travelling all over his bare chest, tickling his skin. Lips still millimeters away from him, you touched the elastic of his underwear. You slightly moved it, pulling down a little, creating a friction.

"Please, babe, don't tease me", Lando begged you, almost moaning, an oblivious hard-on down there.

You smiled proudly, and ran to the bathroom. The poor boy tried to catch you but you were, for once, quicker than him.

"Join me in the shower if you dare", you shouted, a devil grin on.

Well, your morning couldn't have started in a better way.

You were getting ready for a night out. Lando's parents wanted to take the both of you out on a nice dinner. They wanted a little lonely moment with their son - and you. His dad told you it's been too long since he chatted with you about the show you both loved. His parents were the nicest person in the world. You were so relieved that they had accept you in their family. You always felt so welcome with them.

"Honeyyyyyyyy", Lando yelled slowly before showing up at the bedroom door. He was still in his underwear, but had a white nice shirt on.

"Spill it", you told him. You wondered what that crazy brain had invented again.

"Remember when I told you I won a trophy ?", he asked you in a playful tone. You blushed at the memory, looking at the ground. "Oh, don't get all shy on me now !", he said laughing. "But even if it was the most enjoyable part of my morning, I wasn't talking about that." You were now very much intrigued.

"Well, the ceremony in London is tonight. And as you may know, I won't ba able to make it. Can you help me do a little video ? To thank everyone who awarded it to me ?", he made the puppy eyes.

"Yes, I can." He gave you his phone and went to sit behind the table. "Hum, Lan ? Didn't you forget something ?", you said referring to his pants.

"No. You'll see, I'm planning on making something funny." Oh boy, you feared the worst.

You placed the phone on a stabilizer but stayed behind it in case something went wrong. You guys started the video, and Lando begun by apologizing for not being there.

"I'm' actually just away with my family...", he looked over directly at you when saying that. A grin made its way on his face but he managed to keep going.

"Some people say I've had success this year, some people say I'm sometimes a character. You might choose I'm none of them, you might chose I'm both of them. Either way, I'll take it !", Lando's little speech was funny to watch. It was amusing to see him try to stay so serious while being a clown. He loved to put a smile on people's faces.

"Thank you very much everyone. Hope you all have a wonderful night. Thanks again for the John Cobb Memorial Trophy. Sorry I can't be there but have a wonderful night, thank you !", he said all smily. He then got up and left out of view of the camera. He totally showed off how he wasn't wearing any pants. Work from home vibe. You busted out laughing.

"Is that what you call funny ?", you said in between laughs.

"Yep, and see, it works", he was very very proud of himself.

He edited quickly the video and sent it to the BRDC. A few minutes later, it was online. You watched it again with Lando, and had to say it was pretty really funny. So typical of Lando.

The night came to an end, too fast for your liking. You really enjoyed Lando's parents company. Having a little moment with them felt like a privilege.

Back to the suite, you looked at your phone. And again, Lando was trending. You thought it'd be just because of the little video, but turned out it was because of you again.

Is that a girl behind the camera ?

OMG WHO'S THAT

Maybe it's the girl from Winter Wonderland

Oh no he really has a girlfriend

She's ugly af

Be careful Lando there's a ghost watching you 😂

Lando has a gf !!!

Wow she looks so beautiful

None of you saw your shadow behind the camera. When Lando got up without pants, you curled up laughing, creating a noticeable movement. How could you not see that ? Even when you looked at it on replay after with Lando, you didn't see it. Too busy laughing.

As always, some comments were positive, but some were negative. Really mean.

"What are you looking at, darling ?", Lando asked you when he saw your pouting face. He leaned on your shoulders and read what the screen was showing off. He took the phone away from your hands.

"Remember what we said ?", he asked in a gentle way.

"Fuck them all", you answered. He laughed a little bit.

"Yeah, that's the spirit, love", he took you in his arms. "We're getting though this together." You hummed, pulling him closer to you.

Your relationship was stronger than people acting like toddlers on the internet. You were stronger than that. Lando was by your side, and that's all you needed to know. He was everything you needed.

Friends and family were gone, but Lando and you stayed one more night in Dubai. He had a whole evening planned. He wanted you to feel special. Because you were special. You were perfect in every way and deserved the whole world. Lando was ready to take down the stars if you'd ask.

You wore the cutest dress you'd pack. It wasn't that fancy, but Lando loved how it accentuated your every curves. The low-cut wasn't that big but it was just enough to drive him crazy. He'd probably keep you close to him all night.

He took you to a 5 stars restaurant named "White Orchid Restaurant", you thought the name was so poetic. They served asian food. Lando wasn't a big fan of it, refusing to let 'near fishes' close to him. You, on the other hand, could eat that type of food everyday.

Then, you went for a nice walk in the busy streets. You both did a tour on the Ain Dubai, the biggest observation tower in the world, down Bluewaters Island. Lando kept whispering nice things in your ears the whole ride. He stole a quick kiss on top of the tower, when he was sure no one could see you both.

The night was filled by hidden touches, longing looks, laughters and little talks.

It ended with a reservation in the most expensive hotel you could think of. The Atlantis Hotel. Lando had booked an underwater suite. You've always dreamed of sleeping under the ocean. Looking at all the fishes to fall asleep. You were amazed by it. You didn't know what to say or how to thank Lando.

You sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the underwater world in front of you.

"Look, a stingray ! Oh and there's a turtle back there !", you shouted. You couldn't take your eyes off that living world. If you could, you'd spend the rest of your life looking at it.

You got ready to bed, still not believing where you were gonna sleep. You even wondered if you would be able to actually sleep, you didn't want to miss anything.

Lando was already laying in bed, waiting for you to join him. You went to rest on his chest, eyes glued to the underwater window.

"Is this a proposal ?", you asked Lando, a light chuckle escaping your lips.

"What do you mean ?", he answered, dumb-founded by the sudden question.

"Well, if you were to propose to me, I would have picture something as romantic as tonight", you explained. "It was the absolute perfection, Lan. I'm so lucky to call you mine." You kissed his nose.

He gave you a real big smile. "Taking mental notes for the day I'll ask you to marry me", he said, a happy sigh leaving his mouth. He knew one day you'll walk down the aisle for him. He knew you'd both say yes to each other.

"I'm the lucky one, honey, and you know that. Perfection deserves perfection", he reciprocated your gesture and kissed your nose. You were melting, on the verge of crying of happiness.

You thought of how it could be nice to hold his hands in public, and kiss him wherever you wanted. Without caring if people were watching. You were ready. Nothing could go wrong if Lando was by your side. You were invincible.

"Lan ?", you called him sweetly. Your hands automatically found their way to the curls on his neck. He hummed. "I'm ready", you simply said.

Without thinking, he kissed you passionately pouring all his love for you in it. "Are you sure ? We've got time, and..."

You cut him off by crushing your lips on his again.

"I want to hold your hands everywhere, at anytime, without giving a care in the world", you assured him, smiling.

All of your fears didn't run away, but you felt more confident than ever.

"Let's do it then", he cockily said. He rolled on his side with you in his embrace. He took his phone out. The both of you looked through your pictures together. You choose a cute one that Max took on New Year's Eve. Lando uploaded it on Instagram with the caption " My sunshine 🌞 ".

"I love you so much, Y/N", Lando murmured against your lips.

"I love you much more, Lan", you answered back, leaving kisses all over his face. "I - kiss - love - kiss - you - kiss - with all my heart", and you kissed his lips like the world was ending.

You let the internet explode, and went to sleep, interlaced in each others arms.

"Look, a seahorse, babe !", you whispered happily to Lando, pointing to the window. But your lover was already sleeping, a smile on his face. "It's a lucky charm, I guess".

Deltarune Theory: The True Identity and Importance of “Everyman”

I’ve been away from the Undertale theory scene for a long time. It’s been so long that a whole new-fangled game got announced, and I’ve got some theories on it.

Are these theories about Gaster or Sans or whatever’s going on with Kris? Not exactly. At least, not yet. I’ve got a better character in mind.

Let’s start with Everyman: Undertale’s most obscure character and (I think) one of the most pivotal in Deltarune.

This is a two-part theory: the first part outlines who Everyman is and why I think he’ll be important in Deltarune. The second part? You’ll have to read and find out.

This is a long one and with loads of images, so strap yourselves in.

Sections

Part 1: Introduction to Everyman

Who is Everyman?

“So Everyman’s just an Easter egg, right?”

Everyman’s Importance

Why did Everyman appear in True Lab?

Why Everyman will have a bigger role in Deltarune

Part 2: Everyman is ???

What will Everyman’s role be?

Jevil’s Connection to Everyman

The Spade King’s clue

Additional Evidence

“Seriously?”

The Gaster connection

The “Strange Son”

Who made who?

“Seriously, who is Everyman?”

End

Closing Summary

Final Conclusions

Who is Everyman?

"Everyman” is a special attack that appears during the Reaper Bird amalgamate fight in True Lab.

This same figure appears twice in Deltarune’s first chapter:

Once as graffiti in an alleyway in Hometown...

...and again as a rare bullet attack during Jevil’s fight.

The name “Everyman” only ever appears in-game next to his graffiti portrait in Hometown. Everyman’s sprites are simply titled “strangeman” in Undertale’s game files:

[Image transcript: UTModTool is showing multiple highlighted sprite entries that begin with “spr_strangeman”. On the right is the file “spr_strangeman_walk” opened, showing a picture of Everyman. End image transcript]

Some time after Undertale’s release there was a since-deleted tweet from Toby with a picture of Reaper Bird’s attack that he titled “Everyman,” which is where fans first got the name.

[Image transcript: A tweet from toby fox that says “Everyman”. The first reply says “Is that his name. please thell me thats his obj name.” Toby’s response repeats “Everyman.” The next reply says “everything i aspire to be.” Toby responds again with “’Everyman’ you aspire to be.” Toby then adds another tweet saying “Description. Just a good guy that shows up on occasion.” end image transcript.]

This is a web archive screenshot so the image of Everyman’s bullet sprite wasn’t preserved here. Special thanks to catcat for tracking this one down!

“So Everyman’s just an Easter egg, right?”

I don’t think so. I’d be more inclined to write off Everyman’s role in Deltarune as a mere cameo if he had only shown up once. But it’s odd that Toby felt the need to include Everyman twice in a single chapter. To me this seems less like a one-off cameo and more like foreshadowing for a greater role in the full game.

Let’s compare Everyman’s appearances to instances of character foreshadowing and one-off cameos from Undertale and Deltarune:

Mettaton

[Image transcript: four Undertale screenshots arranged in a grid. In the top-left screenshot, the narration text box reads “(the machine isn’t working.)” as Frisk stares at Mettaton in Snowdin’s colored tile puzzle room. In the top-right screenshot, the narration textbox is reading a TV announcement in Papyrus’ house: “(It says ‘STAY TUNED FOR A NEW PROGRAM - MTT.’)”. In the bottom-left screenshot, Napstablook’s text box says “there’s a show i like to watch on it... sometimes...” as Frisk looks at their television. In the bottom-right screenshot, Undyne’s text box says “This oven is some top-of-the-line MTT thing.” as Frisk stares at her oven. End image transcript.]

Mettaton is foreshadowed multiple times before he makes his proper introduction in Alphys’ Lab. This includes a direct on-screen appearance of his rectangular form as part of Snowdin’s colored tile puzzle. What’s interesting is that half of these references (including the tile puzzle) only make sense in hindsight to a first-time player. For all we know there could be other, more-cryptic Everyman references already in Deltarune that we don’t have the full context to understand yet.

Rouxls Kaard

Despite his legendary introductory sequence catching many-a-player off-guard, Rouxls Kaard actually is foreshadowed a couple of times before his stunning debut.

[Image transcript: four Deltarune screenshots arranged in a grid. In the top-left screenshot, Ralsei is reading a message from Rouxls Kaard: “It says... ‘Thoust fools, thou will NEVER figure it out now!’. This is continued in the top-right screenshot: “Then it, um, says, ‘PS - I make my own Rules. - RK’”. In the bottom-left screenshot, a puzzle-master says “ROUXLS KAARD... Lord of the Puzzles... Be careful...!” In the bottom-right screenshot, one of Clover’s heads says “RK came by... What a hunk!” End image transcript.]

I’ve noticed from watching Let’s Plays that many people don’t even realize that these lines were meant to foreshadow him (and I’m pretty sure I didn’t realize it either on my first playthrough).

Ice-E

Now here’s something that’s an example of both a one-off cameo and proper foreshadowing! In Undertale, Ice-E is referenced exactly once in the entire game—as part of Sans’ Monster Kidz Word Search puzzle. No other character mentions Ice-E, Ice-E does not appear in-person, nor does the Ice-E’s restaurant appear... in Undertale. Deltarune is a completely different story.

[image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. in the left screenshot, Kris looks under their sink and the narration text box says: “A can of Ice-E’s Cool Boys Body Spray ‘Spray For The Boys,’ Flamin’ Hot Pizza Flavor.” In the right screenshot, Kris reads a chart in the hospital. The narration text box says: “(It’s a classic 1-to-10 pain scale, using ICE-E as a model.)” End image transcript.]

In Deltarune chapter 1 we find numerous references and bits of foreshadowing for Ice-E and, lo and behold, we see that Ice-E’s restaurant exists in Hometown at the end of chapter 1. And notice how it’s multiple references and not just a one-off like last time.

In every example of foreshadowing listed above we’re given more than one hint of a character’s presence, and so far Everyman fits this same pattern. This makes me feel safe in assuming he will have a bigger role in the full game.

Everyman’s Importance

What’s interesting is that in Chapter 1, Everyman appears in both the light and dark worlds. So far Deltarune has kept the light and dark worlds largely separate from one another, with only Kris and Susie traveling between them (as far as we know).

Everyman’s presence in both worlds implies that either he can travel between both worlds as well, or at least that lightners and darkners are both familiar with him.

Based on what we know, I’d wager that Everyman is a lightner—specifically, a monster.  I say this for two reasons: 1.) so far we’ve only seen lightners (Kris and Susie) travel between both worlds, and 2.) this would explain Everyman’s appearance as one of Reaper Bird’s attacks in Undertale’s True Lab.

Why did Everyman appear in the True Lab?

The worlds of Undertale and Deltarune are connected. Toby has all-but-confirmed this himself.

[Image transcript: A screenshot from the official Deltarune website’s question-and-answer page. The question says “So there’s no connections between the two games?”. The answer says “It’s a different world that might even have different rules. That doesn’t mean there will be no connections at all though.” End image transcript.]

One major connection between Undertale and Deltarune is their largely-shared cast of characters. Many major characters from Undertale make an appearance in Deltarune’s first chapter, and Toby has shown that at least some characters from Deltarune’s universe have counterparts in the Undertale universe as well.

The Undertale Alarm Clock App makes reference to Rudolph Holiday living in the Underground some time prior to the events of Undertale.

[Image transcript: A dialogue box where Asgore says “Rudy... loved the holidays, you know.” End image transcript.]

This dialogue also strongly implies that Undertale’s universe has a counterpart for Noelle.

[Image transcript: Another dialogue box from Asgore. He says: “With a warm slice of fruitcake on the table. His youngest daughter peeking shyly from around the corner...” End image transcript]

Depending on how one interprets the Clamgirl NPC’s dialogue, there may or may not be an Undertale version of Susie (aka “Suzy”) too.

[Image transcript: Two Undertale screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, Clamgirl tells Frisk: “Synchronicity...? My neighbor’s daughter looks about your age.” In the right screenshot her dialogue continues: “Her name is ‘Suzy.’ I feel like you two should be friends.” End image transcript.]

I’d argue that Everyman also had a “counterpart” in Undertale’s universe who lived as a monster in the Underground. Much like Rudy, the Underground’s Everyman likely grew old and eventually “fell down”. But unlike Rudy, Everyman was sent to the True Lab for the royal scientist’s soul experiments and became part of the Reaper Bird amalgamate.

This would fit with the pattern that we see with most other amalgamates, namely that they each seem to be made up of one named/noteworthy monster combined with several other generic monsters. The formula goes like this:

Lemon Bread = Shyra (Shyren’s Sister) + Aaron + Moldbygg

Endogeny = Muttler + various dog enemies

Snowdrake Mother = Crystal (Snowdrake’s Mom) + Vegetoids(?)

Reaper Bird = Everyman + Astigmatism + Whimsalot + Final Froggit

The Memoryheads seem to not “fit” with the other amalgamates, perhaps intentionally, so I’ll leave them out for now.

Long story short: Everyman was most likely a monster since he was part of an amalgamate and (as far as we know) amalgamates can only be made of monsters.

Why Everyman will have a bigger role in Deltarune

We see in Deltarune that three of the monsters who became amalgamates in Undertale have since passed away. This fits a trend I’ve noticed of Toby trying to “explain” the absence of characters who are prominent in one of his games but not the other.

The examples I cited above of Rudy, Noelle, and (possibly) Susie existing in Undertale’s universe also serve as “excuses” for where those characters were and why they were absent from the events of Undertale’s story. Rudy was dead and Noelle and “Suzy” were living with their families (presumably) in parts of the Underground where Frisk never ventured.

Shyra, Muttler, and Crystal are similarly “excused” from Deltarune’s story when the graveyard informs the player of their passing. Gerson is likewise excluded from Deltarune due to having passed away before the events of the game.

Conveniently, Everyman is not listed among the amalgamate monsters who have passed away in Hometown, and the alleyway graffiti implies he’s alive and well.

We know that Deltarune’s timeline and character ages don’t match up perfectly with Undertale’s—Deltarune Asriel is still alive and slightly older than Kris, who’s roughly the same age as DR Monster Kid. Conversely, Undertale Asriel died long before Frisk entered the Underground, yet Frisk is still seemingly in the same age bracket as UT Monster Kid (who’s barely younger than Asriel in Deltarune). Like Rudy, we can assume that Deltarune’s Everyman is younger than the Everyman who “fell down” in the Underground.

What will Everyman’s role be?

Remember when I said this was a two-part theory? Well, here’s the second half of my theory: Everyman is the Knight.

[Image transcript: A text box that says “Yes, you read that correctly.” End image transcript.]

Yes, the same Knight mentioned by Seam, Jevil, and the King of Spades. The same Knight who’s pulling new dark fountains out of the earth and who’s implied to be a major antagonist in the full game.

I could hedge my bets by saying Everyman is merely “connected” to the Knight, but if the Knight is a character we already know of then I think Everyman is the most likely candidate.

Let’s start with the name: Everyman’s sprites are titled “strangeman” in Undertale’s files. The very first mention we get of the Knight in Deltarune is Seam describing a “strange knight” who appeared, complete with red font for emphasis.

[Image transcript: Seam speaking inside of a shop, saying: “But, recently, a strange knight appeared... And three of the kings were locked away.” End image transcript.]

The word “strange” seems to be used selectively and very deliberately in Deltarune’s first chapter. Here’s a breakdown of all the times it’s used:

Seam referring to the knight

Seam referring to the Knight’s “strange son” (more on that later)

Telling Seam about Jevil (”Strange Prisoner”)

Seam referring to the “strange someone” that Jevil met

Seam mentioning the “strange words” Jevil said

Rouxls Kaard referring to Lancer (”a strange and irritating darling!”)

Narration before Kris seals the dark fountain (”You felt something strange.”)

Flavor text during the Jevil fight (”Kris gazed strangely”)

The Devilsknife/Jevilstail appearing in a “strange chest” outside of Jevil’s cell upon defeating him (this may be dummied out or only triggers if your inventory is full of weapons/armors and Jevil can’t give his item to you)

The description of the key to Jevil’s cell (”something feels strange about it”)

With the exception of the line from Rouxls Kaard, every instance of “strange” somehow connects to the Knight or Jevil. If the Knight is indeed the “strange someone” who Jevil met then the list tightens even further, to the point where all but one use of the word “strange” is associated with a single character and his handiwork—a very “strange man”, as it were. Speaking of Jevil...

Jevil’s connection to the Knight and Everyman

Jevil’s fight is one of two places where Everyman appears in Deltarune chapter 1. Not only that, but Everyman’s sprite only appears as a rare event during Jevil’s carousel attack, implying that his appearance is somehow significant.

Interestingly enough, the other two sprites that appear during this attack are one with a head that vaguely resembles Mysteryman (believed to be Gaster) and another with the head of a horse, a.k.a. the same as a knight piece on a chess board. It’s also worth pointing out that it’s rarer for the Everyman sprite to appear than it is for either of the other two sprites to appear.

We can also see the Everyman sprite represented in the official Chaos Revolving Keychain from Fangamer.

Jevil mentions the Knight once you defeat him, showing that he has knowledge of his existence.

[Image transcript: Jevil saying “THE HAND OF THE KNIGHT IS DRIFTING FORWARD.” End image transcript.]

This is interesting since Seam’s dialogue implies that Jevil was imprisoned well before the Knight overthrew the three kings at Card Castle. I can think of three possible explanations for this seeming timeline discrepancy:

Jevil is somehow intrinsically “aware” of things that go on outside of his cell

The Knight or someone else visited Jevil in jail to tell him about what happened with the three kings

The Knight is the same “strange someone” that Jevil met before he was locked up

The first explanation is the least likely, imo, due to Jevil asking who Kris, Ralsei, and Susie are when he first meets them.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, Jevil is talking to the fun gang and he says: “BUT LO, THREE VISITORS STANDING INSIDE?” This continues in the right screenshot, where Jevil says: “WHO ARE YOU FEW?” End image transcript.]

If Jevil was aware of the outside world then he’d surely know of the fun gang’s antics by that point.

The second explanation doesn’t seem very likely either. Seam is the only character who acknowledges Jevil’s existence and we never see Seam visit Card Castle, even after the Spade King has been overthrown.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, Jack Person tells the fun gang: “By the by, I asked Seam to come here, but...” Continuing onto the right screenshot, where Jack Person finishes by saying “There wasn’t any interest.” End image transcript.]

Jevil’s cell doesn’t seem to have any guards and it’s kept on its own floor, so that would rule out Jevil hearing about the knight from other prisoners.

If someone in the castle brings food to Jevil then he may have overheard it from them, but even that is speculative. Does Jevil even need to eat? He says his body “cannot be killed,” after all.

[Image transcript: Jevil saying “THIS BODY CANNOT BE KILLED!” End image transcript.]

And I’m not sure if the King of Spades would be so accommodating towards a dangerous prisoner.

That just leaves the third explanation, which seems the most likely to me. It’s also the tidiest explanation for how Jevil would be aware of both the Knight and Everyman—they’re the same person.

We can only speculate as to why the “strange someone” caused Jevil to run amok. If that strange someone was the Knight then I would assume that setting Jevil loose may have been his attempt to overthrow or destabilize Card Castle’s leadership. We know that the Knight eventually overthrew the three other kings himself, so that may have been his plan B after Jevil failed or he merely wished to remove Jevil as an obstacle. Either way, the Knight toppled the quadrumvirate and installed the Spade King as the protector of Card Castle’s dark fountain.

The Spade King’s clue

The Spade King is the closest ally of the Knight that we’ve seen so far. The exact nature of their relationship isn’t fully known, but the King’s words imply that he reveres and is loyal to the Knight.

[Image description: Four Deltarune screenshots arranged in a grid. In the top-left, the King of Spades says “By the Knight’s will, I shall shatter your heart to pieces!”. In the top-right, the King says “For the KNIGHT has appeared.” In the bottom-left, the King says “The KNIGHT that pulls the Fountains from the Earth.” In the bottom-right, the King says “My KNIGHT... I shall not fail you...” End image transcript.]

Both characters share an interest in maintaining the existence of dark fountains, given that the Knight has been said to create new fountains by pulling them up from the Earth.

Unlike Jevil, the Spade King’s attacks never make explicit reference to Everyman’s visage, but he does give a possible nod that many players have overlooked. When the Spade King is defeated, he makes a curious gesture by letting his cloak fly away like a butterfly.

While this may be a simple artistic flourish, I always found this moment to be odd and unfitting for a brutish character like the King. It’s also worth pointing out how the King’s cloak is clearly not a part of his body, unlike what’s implied with Lancer’s “clothes”.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, the battle narration says: “You tell Lancer you can’t tell the difference between his clothes and his body.” The narration continues in the right screenshot, saying “He seems flattered... His ATTACK POWER went down!” End transcript.]

What if the King didn’t always have that butterfly-shaped cloak? Did someone give it to him? Think of where else we’ve seen butterfly motifs before.

At first blush, this seems obvious—the Reaper Bird is clearly made from the Core mercenaries, including Whimsalot. Whimsalot attacks with butterfly bullets, so that’s where Reaper Bird got them from, right? Case closed. Well, not so fast.

It turns out there are two different sets of butterfly bullets in Undertale’s game files, and Reaper Bird’s are different from Whimsalot’s.

[Image transcript: Two groups of butterfly bullet sprites. The left group is labeled “Whimsun / Whimsalot.” The right group is labeled “Reaper Bird”. End image transcript.]

Notice how Reaper Bird’s butterflies are smaller and have pointier, more symmetrical wings? While those differences could be chalked up to limited pixel resolution, it’s interesting how Toby went out of his way to create an entirely unique set of butterfly bullets for Reaper Bird when it arguably would have made more sense for him to recycle the Whimsun butterflies like he did for Whimsalot.

If you want to compare the sprites for yourself I suggest either looking at the game files directly or looking at an actual playthrough of Undertale. I’ve noticed that Spriter’s Resource mistakenly has Reaper Bird’s butterflies listed under Whimsun’s sprite sheet (which is a completely understandable mix-up).

To drive the point home, notice the string names that are used for these butterflies:

[Image transcript: An UTModTool window showing multiple named strings. Highlighted in red are six strings that each contain “obj_strangeman_butterfly” in their names. End image transcript.]

They’re “strangeman” butterflies. Not “amalgamate” or “Reaper Bird” butterflies (despite Reaper Bird having its own share of dedicated strings and named sprites), and they’re not “Whimsalot” butterflies either. Toby clearly delineates them as belonging to strangeman, a.k.a. Everyman, meaning that Everyman is specifically associated with butterfly imagery. The Spade King also makes use of butterfly imagery immediately after he mentions the Knight in his final turn.

Between the King and Jevil, this makes two characters that can be linked to both Everyman and the Knight.

Additional Evidence

Let’s circle back to Reaper Bird for a second. It’s commonly known that this amalgamate is made from Astigmatism, Final Froggit, and Whimsalot. To wit:

These enemies are part of the mercenary group that Mettaton hires to attack you in the Core. Have you ever noticed how out-of-place they seem? Almost every other set of enemies in the game is somehow themed around their environment — Snowdin enemies are ice creatures, Hotland enemies are fire/lava-themed, etc. These mercenaries are themed around medieval warfare and yet they show up in the Core, the most high-tech area in the entire Underground.

What’s even stranger is that this medieval theme seems to come out of nowhere. Astigmatism, Final Froggit, and Whimsalot act as “upgraded” versions of Loox, Froggit, and Whimsun, respectively. And yet their Ruins counterparts don’t have any medieval theming whatsoever—it was added purely for the mercenaries. For whatever reason they’re all dressed like a bunch of wizards and... knights.

[Image transcript: Two Undertale screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, a Core NPC says “Why do I look like a black sausage and not a knight or a wizard?” This continues on the right, where it says “Well... Everyone has an angle they look best from.” End image transcript.]

That’s not my interpretation of their designs—the game outright calls them knights.

On the one hand, it’s true that Asgore’s royal guards also dress up like knights, but the Core mercenaries are explicitly not part of the royal guard—they’re mercenaries.

[Image transcript: Battle flavor text that states “Mercenaries emerge from the shadows.” End image transcript.]

Assuming that Asgore has a dress code for his guards or is just old-fashioned in his sensibilities, there’s still no reason why fighters outside of the guard should follow their standard. Even some of the royal sentries don’t follow this theming, as seen with Doggo and Sans (who’s technically a sentry):

With the abundance of knight-themed royal guard and sentry enemies that exist already, Toby could’ve easily designed the Core Mercenaries to more accurately fit with the Core’s futuristic theme. Doesn’t it seem a little too coincidental that Everyman would wind up as part of the same amalgamate as these otherwise out-of-place knights?

When we look at the other amalgamates, we can see that Lemon Bread (a.k.a. Shyren’s sister) is made up of Waterfall enemies. Endogeny is made up entirely of dog-based enemies. These two amalgamates each have a “theme” for their component monsters that fits the “main” named monster they’re each made of, and Reaper Bird has a clear theme of its own. Why would Everyman be paired with a bunch of knights if he was not connected to them in some way?

Even the Undertale artbook groups Everyman’s concept art with the Core Mercenaries, specifically the ones that look the most like knights and wizards in-game. The book also repeats the name “Everyman” and Toby’s cryptic phrase of “Just a good guy who shows up on occasion.”

Perhaps Everyman knew the Core mercenaries when he was alive? Were they his fellow knights? Or did they work for him before he fell down and they had to then lend their services elsewhere?

“The Knight? Seriously?”

Some of you may be shaking your heads dismissively at the idea of Everyman being the Knight (or you more likely clicked over to another tab by now). I mean, just look at the guy:

What part of this design makes you think “knight”, let alone THE Knight? Well, Seam does refer to the Knight as a “strange” knight, and Everyman certainly fits that bill. But more importantly, we haven’t seen an actual overworld sprite for Everyman yet—we’ve only seen some graffiti and a couple of magic bullet attacks, which are always abstract and simplified.

Not pictured: Froggit, Migosp, Temmie, Moldbygg, Tsunderplane, Mettaton, or Endogeny.

Everyman’s “proper” design would almost certainly differ from his Pillsbury Doughboy-esque bullet sprite, especially if he’s wearing a cloak or a suit of armor. And even if his design doesn’t differ that much, so what? It’s not like this series has ever had an opponent that looks goofy or non-threatening, right?

Another little tidbit I noticed: one of Reaper Bird’s attacks consists of Everyman repeatedly removing his own head.

Or maybe it’s not his head? Perhaps it’s a helmet? Like one that a knight would wear? After all, it’s not unheard of for helmets to have beak-like protrusions.

And this is a series where helmets can come in any shape or size to better fit the needs of the wearer.

Just some food for thought.

The Gaster connection

It’s time to address the elephant in the room: “Isn’t Gaster supposed to be the Knight?” If you haven’t heard by now, this is one of the prevailing theories in the fandom. To be honest, if the Knight ends up not being Everyman then Gaster is the next-best candidate, imo, but these two theories don’t have to be mutually-exclusive. I think a case can be made that Everyman and Gaster are connected in some way.

Let me say up front that this section is highly speculative (unlike the previous sections, which clearly aren’t the least bit speculative). We’re dealing with two super-obscure characters who’ve yet to make a proper on-screen appearance in either game. It’s already hard enough to figure out how either of them connect to the broader Undertale universe, let alone to each other, but I’ll give it a shot.

For starters, we can affirm that both Gaster and Everyman are linked to the True Lab. There’s no shortage of fan theories and speculation on Gaster’s prior usage of the True Lab in his own experiments and I won’t get into all that here, but suffice it to say the True Lab has Gaster’s name written all over it.

(Am I the only one who thinks the DT Extractor looks more like Everyman’s head than it does a Gaster Blaster? Forget I said anything.)

We’ve covered how Everyman appears as one of Reaper Bird’s attacks. Interestingly, the amalgamate Memoryhead has an attack that resembles the head of Mysteryman, the figure believed to be Gaster (which I’ll assume here for simplicity’s sake).

If we follow the logic of my prior “Everyman is the named/important monster that makes up Reaper Bird, fitting the pattern of other amalgamates” argument, then Gaster (or pieces of him) could fill the same role for the Memoryheads.

Everyman and Gaster’s sprites both have the suffix of “man” in Undertale’s game files. Here are all the sprites that use this same naming scheme:

strangeman - Everyman

mysteryman - “Gaster”

snowman - gives you the snowman piece

riverman - a.k.a. River Person

darkman - the shadowy overworld sprites used for the Core Mercenaries

watchingman - The spoon-shaped amalgamate that tucks Frisk into bed

The snowman’s inclusion is a bit of a fluke, because what else would you call a snowman without using “man” in the name? If we exclude the snowman, each instance of “man” represents a mysterious figure that ties back to Everyman and/or Gaster.

We’ve already covered the connection between Everyman and the Core Mercenaries, and it’s easy to connect the “watchingman” amalgamate with the True Lab. River Person is also frequently linked to Gaster in fan theories (and they allude to “the man from the other world” and “the man who speaks in hands”), so what we’re left with is a close-knit community of strange, mysterious "man”s.

This naming scheme looks very intentional on Toby’s part, and he seems to be continuing it in Deltarune by referring to the secret unseen NPC who gives you the egg behind the tree in Scarlet Forest as simply “a man.”

[Image transcript: Narration from the secret egg room. The text box states: “(Well, there is a man here.)” End image transcript]

The Knight’s “Strange Son”?

Remember when I said I’d get back to the Knight’s “strange son”? That’s now. I’m a little iffy on this topic because it involves stacking a whole ton of assumptions onto a single line of dialogue that’s phrased in an ambiguous way. But, if it means what I think it means, it could shed a ton of light on Everyman’s possible connection to Gaster and whether either of them are the Knight.

When you ask Seam about the “Kingdom”, Seam says this:

[Image transcript: Three of Seam’s text boxes arranged vertically. In order, they read: “Historically, this land was ruled by the Four Kings, from CARD CASTLE to the East. But, recently, a strange knight appeared... And three of the kings were locked away. The remaining king put him and his strange son into power.” End image transcript]

Let’s focus on that last sentence. On my first playthrough I misread this line as “the knight put the king and his strange son into power” because that sounds a lot closer to the events that happened—the Spade King and his “strange son” Lancer are in power now because the three kings were locked away, presumably by the Knight.

But the actual text states the opposite—the remaining king (Spade King) put him (the Knight) and his strange son (i.e., the Knight’s son) into power. Or does it? The line could also read as—the remaining king (Spade King) put him (the Knight) and his (the King’s) strange son (Lancer) into power. The second way is  awkwardly-structured but technically valid. And this is assuming that Toby didn’t make any grammatical errors when he typed these lines, which he has done on occasion.

[Image transcript: A dialogue box where Dr. Alphys says “I felt so guilty knowing I hadn’t do anything to stop you.” End image transcript.]

Not to be too hard on Toby, but even if Seam’s line is grammatically correct it’s still clunky and murky in its conception—at this point in the game we’ve only just been introduced to Lancer and the fact that his dad is the King, and now this line is potentially introducing yet another father/son duo that is closely connected with Lancer’s dad—is it any wonder that this line is often glossed over by fans?

The second reading, where Lancer is the “strange son,” is also awkward because the Spade King would have little need to put Lancer “into power”. Lancer was already a prince and, presumably, already wielded power in that role. Various NPCs make reference to Lancer bossing them around, and such a thing could’ve easily happened before the three kings were deposed.

If we take Seam’s line with the first reading (where the Knight has a “strange son”) and assume there were no grammatical errors, then this is the only time in chapter 1 that the Knight is ever referred to as having a son. It’s also the only time that the Knight is addressed with pronouns, implying that the Knight is male. If true, this would rule out the theory that Kris (or any potential alter ego that Kris has) is the knight, since Kris is neither male nor do they have a son. This would also rule out Susie, who’s never been a popular contender for being the Knight but is referred to as a “dark knight” on her stats page.

Who made who?

So then, who’s male, widely believed to be the Knight, and is often depicted as having one or more sons?

This (alleged) guy!

“But wait,” you might ask, “isn’t your theory that Everyman is the Knight?” Well, the Knight and his “strange son” seem to be working as a duo in the scenario that Seam outlines, given that the Spade King put both of them “into power.”

Because of Everyman’s connections to the Knight that I’ve laid out, plus the more popular theory that Gaster is the Knight, it’s possible that one may be the Knight and the other may be the Knight’s “strange son.” The way I see it, it doesn’t make a huge difference which one is which.

Now, I don’t think that Gaster and Everyman would be father and son in the strict biological sense. There are a number of reasons for this, but for starters I’m not even sure if Everyman and Gaster are the same species. My inclination is that Everyman is a monster, while Gaster may be a darkner. The latter is mostly my own guess and springboards off of a popular theory that Sans is a darkner, but it’s a whole other can of worms that I won’t get into now.

More importantly, Gaster is strongly implied to have some sort of connection to Sans and Papyrus. All three of them are also connected with special fonts that they each use. As far as I can tell, there’s no widely-used font by the name of “Everyman”, so this would imply that Everyman is not a skeleton and therefore not biologically related to them. However, there’s more than one way to start a family.

Gaster was the royal scientist in Undertale’s universe and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he (or his potential Deltarune counterpart) could find the means to create life forms artificially.

[Image transcript: The vessel creation scene from Deltarune. The on-screen text says “YOU HAVE CREATED A WONDERFUL FORM.” End image transcript.]

Everyman could be a creation of Gaster’s and thus he’d be Gaster’s “son”.

There’s also another possibility: Everyman is Gaster’s creator. We know that the Knight is pulling new dark fountains out of the Earth. I think the Knight, regardless of who they are, must be able to survive without a dark fountain to give their body form, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to venture into areas where new fountains have yet to be pulled up. The Knight is almost certainly a lightner, and I’ve already detailed why I think Everyman is a lightner as well.

We don’t fully understand how dark fountains interact with darkners, but it’s stated multiple times that dark fountains “give form” to the Dark World.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, Ralsei’s narration says “Today the FOUNTAIN OF DARKNESS-” and continues into the right screenshot, saying: “The geyser that gives this land form-” End image transcript.]

In the dummied-out manual pages, Ralsei also mentions how his dark fountain gives his body form.

[Image transcript: Ralsei’s manual excerpt, whic says “Dedicated to The unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form.” End image transcript]

Darkners need dark fountains in order to maintain their forms. They may not even be able to survive at all without them. From this point of view, when the Knight creates new dark fountains he’s bringing new darkners to life. If Gaster is a darkner himself, then it’s not unthinkable to imagine that Everyman may have brought him to life in this way and could thus be called his “father”. Seam does refer to lightners as the “creators” of darkners, after all.

[Image transcript: Seam’s dialogue box saying “They were like Gods to us. Our protectors. Our creators. Those who gave us purpose...” End image transcript.]

Ultimately the question of who’s the father and who’s the son is purely speculative. We don’t even know for sure if the Knight has a son, let alone whether it’s Everyman, Gaster, or someone else entirely. It’s very much a “the chicken or the egg?” kind of question.

[Image transcript: Two images. The right is a screenshot of the egg room with narration stating “(You received an Egg)”. End image transcript.]

Hmm...

“Seriously, who is Everyman?”

Let’s bring this home with the question we started with: Who is Everyman? I’ve gone into evidence that he existed as an actual person in Undertale and will likely play a role in Deltarune, but this doesn’t tell us much about the kind of character he is. We don’t even know if “Everyman” is his real name.

If Everyman is indeed a prominent character in Deltarune then there are two possibilities: 1.) he’s a brand new character we’ve never met before, or 2.) he’s someone that we have met before. The first option, while a strong possibility, doesn’t leave us with much to talk about, so let’s look at the second.

Right out the gate I can confidently say that Everyman is not a character that we talked to or had significant interaction with in Undertale. The obvious reason is that he was busy being stuck inside Reaper Bird and he couldn’t have been in two places at once (as far as we know). This means that Everyman would have to be a character introduced in Deltarune chapter 1.

I’ve said before that I believe Everyman is a lightner, so this would rule out any dark world characters. That leaves us with the residents of Hometown who didn’t have direct counterparts in Undertale’s story.

After careful consideration I’ve narrowed the field to two suspects:

Father Alvin

Father Alvin has always struck me as an oddity. He seems like an important member of Hometown’s community, and yet none of the other residents ever talk about him. He’s also conspicuously absent from Undertale’s universe.

The most notable thing about Father Alvin is that his church seems to worship “the Angel”.

[Image transcript: Father Alvin saying “Let the Angel’s power light your way.” End image transcript.]

Ralsei’s prophecy states that the three heroes must seal the dark fountains in order to banish the “Angel’s Heaven.”

[Image transcript: Two Deltaunre screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, Ralsei’s narration says “Only they can seal the fountains.” The right screenshot continues, saying: “And banish the ANGEL’S HEAVEN.” End image transcript.]

This would put the heroes at odds with both the Knight (who’s creating fountains) and whoever is serving this Angel. We can only speculate on the Knight’s motives, but what if he’s acting in service to the Angel?

Something that isn’t brought up much in the fandom is the religious reverence that darkners give to their fountains. The King of Spades refers to the fountains that the Knight creates as “holy” fountains.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, the King of Spades says “Holy Fountains, whose shadows are creating a new world...” The right screenshot continues, saying “OUR world.” End image transcript.]

The soundtrack that plays at the Fountain is called “The Holy.” Dark fountains can seemingly create life, so it’s easy to imagine the Knight viewing his own mission as some sort of holy rite.

As far as evidence goes for Alvin being Everyman/the Knight, the biggest clue is the drawing signed by Alvin that shows up in the supply closet at the end of chapter 1.

Every other object in the closet represents a part of the dark world that Kris and Susie visited, and yet at no point do they encounter a dark world manifestation of this drawing. We know that the Knight visited Card Castle previously, so this drawing could be meant to represent the Knight’s presence in that part of the dark world.

It’s also worth noting how most of the closet’s toys are arranged from left to right in the order that Kris and Susie encountered them on their journey. Alvin’s drawing is on the far right, just past the open cabinet drawer (i.e., Card Castle), implying that Alvin’s drawing was either at the fountain or that it was effectively the “next” thing that Kris and Susie would’ve encountered if they had stayed.

It’s hard to make out what the drawing could be beyond being a “poorly-drawn picture of a green turtle”, as the flavor text explains. Could it be Everyman? Or is it just a reference to Bold and Brash? Both? Neither? The world may never know. Or it may know when the full game comes out.

Can I also add how strange it is that Alvin’s drawing is in the closet to begin with? Alvin looks to be a pretty old dude, so why would his drawing still be in a school that he no longer attends? I don’t have an answer, I just think it’s weird.

Other clues that could point to Alvin being Everyman are that he is, scientifically speaking, old-looking, which would line up with my hypothesis of Undertale’s Everyman being an older monster who fell down before becoming Reaper Bird.

Alvin also vaguely resembles Everyman as far as their proportions are concerned.

It’s by no means a perfect match, especially if we factor in Alvin’s shell, but both characters possess a round head with some sort of beak or proboscis.

If Everyman actually is Father Alvin, then the title “Everyman” could be a reference to The Summoning of Everyman, a 15th-century religious morality play. I won’t get into the specifics here, but the play focuses on a character named Everyman who must prepare for his inevitable death and judgment for his deeds in life. I don’t really know how much that would tie into Deltarune’s themes or if it’s even a deliberate reference to begin with, so make of it what you will.

Father Alvin was the first character that I suspected of being Everyman when I started writing this theory, but there’s one major sticking point that prevents me from fully embracing the idea: the fact that he lacks a character portrait for his dialogue boxes.

This may seem like a minor nitpick, but dialogue portraits indicate when a character is important to the story, and it would be a pretty big oversight on Toby’s part if a (presumably) recurring antagonist wasn’t given a portrait. Even a three-scene wonder like Rouxls Kaard was given a portrait.

It’s true that recurring characters like Napstablook and Monster Kid weren’t given portraits in Undertale...

But Deltarune has greatly expanded the number of characters with portraits this time around, and we can already infer that Noelle (who had a portrait in chapter 1) will be an important character going forward:

Given Alvin’s limited dialogue in chapter 1 and his lack of a portrait, I’m more inclined to believe that he’ll end up being a minor character, in which case he’d almost certainly not be the Knight (and therefore not Everyman). But who knows, maybe Toby will give him a portrait in the full game.

Thankfully, we have another candidate who might be Everyman:

The Ice-E’s Employees

You think I’m joking? Trust me, you’ll know when I’m joking.

I didn’t initially make the connection between Ice-E’s and Everyman until I saw a post from @curioscurio​ that pointed me in that direction.

Let’s go back to the Everyman graffiti that appears in Hometown.

Notice how the drawing right next to it resembles Ice-E’s head? I can’t believe this was staring me in the face the whole time and I never realized the connection.

Another point in favor of the Ice-E’s workers is that we don’t even know what two of them look like. We know that Burgerpants is one, and another is implied to be the Nice Cream Bunny that we met in Undertale.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, the Ice-E’s employee says “Psst, can I tell you a mascot secret? I only started working here because...” The right screenshot continues, saying “The logo made me think it was an ice-cream shop...” End image transcript.]

But this still leaves the “purple guy” and “The Warrior”, who remain in full costume for chapter 1, meaning that one of them could resemble Everyman underneath their mask.

Speaking of The Warrior, he certainly fits the bill as being “strange.” His title wouldn’t be out of place among the likes of The Knight, and his dialogue refers to the hospital’s medical staff as “white wizards”, which fits with the medieval theming that’s associated with Everyman’s mercenary cohorts in Undertale.

[Image transcript: Two Deltarune screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, the Warrior says “This castle’s WHITE WIZARDs relegated me to this HEALING CHAMBER...” The right screenshot continues, saying “But my BLOOD is BOILING FOR BATTLE!!!” End image transcript.]

Speaking of the Core Mercenaries, here’s an interesting tidbit:

[Image transcript: Two Undertale screenshots side-by-side. In the left screenshot, a Core NPC says “As a youth, I would sneak out to play by this creepy flaming pit.” The right screenshot continues, saying “Since the CORE is always re-arranging, it was like a game trying to find it.” End image transcript.]

I used to assume that the Core Mercenaries were older monsters who fought in the human-monster war, which would explain their insistence on dressing up as old-timey knights and wizards. However, these lines of dialogue imply that the Mercenaries are far younger—young enough to visit the Core when they were kids.

So why would a bunch of younger monsters dress up like old-school knights and wizards? Simple: they’re LARPers. This would explain why their more casual overworld dialogue doesn’t match their overly-serious battle dialogue whatsoever—the battle is over and, thus, so is the act.

What does this have to do with Ice-E’s? Simple. The Warrior is also a LARPer. But he takes it a step further and never lets the act slip. According to Burgerpants, he terrorizes customers with war chants during his day job, and we see him keeping up the act while he’s injured in the hospital. It’s clear that he’s living in a fantasy world, and someone like that would have every reason to spend time in a strange dark world that “seems like” fantasy.

[Image transcript: Lyrics from Deltarune’s credits theme. It says: “And the places that you know seem like fantasy”. End image transcript.]

Someone like him could grow attached to such a place and want to see it spread as far and wide as possible, with no regard for how it would affect the boring “real world”. All he’d need to do is create new dark fountains to sustain this fantasy world.

I also find it interesting that The Warrior is in the hospital during chapter 1. Burgerpants claims that this is the result of “pizza-related injuries.”

[Image transcript: Two dialogue boxes from Burgerpants. Read from top to bottom, it says “The Warrior - Thankfully absent due to pizza-related injuries. Constantly terrorizing customers with war chants.” End image transcript.]

But what if there was another reason? We can see signs of “some kind of struggle” in the King of Spade’s throne room, complete with tattered wall banners.

[Image transcript: Narration in the Spade King’s throne room. The text box says “(Wall banners. They seem to have been through some kind of struggle...)” End image transcript.]

What if the Knight sustained injuries when he overthrew the three kings and had to go to the hospital afterwards? A “struggle” implies that there was some resistance involved.

Another interesting coincidence is that the previews for Deltarune Chapter 2 strongly imply that it will take place in a dark world that forms in the hospital.

Earlier previews have also implied that Noelle will have a larger role in Chapter 2, and she’d have every reason to be in the hospital visiting her father when things hit the fan.

It feels awfully convenient that a new dark world springs up right in the spot where the Warrior is. I wouldn’t be surprised if chapter 2 gives us our first glimpse of the Knight in person, and what better way than a surprise run-in with the Warrior?

Some of you may be asking why I’d suggest a minor character like The Warrior might be the Knight when he has a single line of dialogue and no dialogue portrait? Simple: characters tend not to have portraits when their face is hidden from view. We see this with Undyne in Undertale:

She doesn’t gain a dialogue portrait until after she removes her helmet. This is also true of Burgerpants in Deltarune.

So, unlike Father Alvin, The Warrior has an excuse for not having a dialogue portrait yet. While Father Alvin has some compelling evidence supporting him being the Knight/Everyman, The Warrior has no major counter-argument that I can think of (unlike Father “no portrait” Alvin), so I give The Warrior the edge as far as Everyman suspects go.

I’d also like point out that if Gaster ends up not being the Knight or the Knight’s “Strange Son,” then we could get a two-for-one deal of Father Alvin as the Knight and The Warrior as his strange son. Definitely not the most likely outcome, but technically possible! I’d imagine those two would have a hilariously awkward dynamic if they were related.

Closing Summary

Wow, this post went on for a while! Let’s summarize what we’ve learned today.

Everyman (in Undertale)

Was likely a monster who “fell down”

Became part of the Reaper Bird Amalgamate

Likely knew the Core Mercenaries

Is connected to butterfly imagery

Final Conclusions

So what do I really think? I’m reminded of Undertale’s original Kickstarter demo and how much of the full game’s story was left out of it. Right now we’re in a similar situation with Deltarune. I can’t view any of my theories with certainty because at the end of the day I have no idea what Toby’s going to write for the full game, but I can guess.

If I had to put a number to it, I’d say the odds of Everyman making further appearances in Deltarune is 95% and the odds of him being the Knight is about 66%. There’s always the possibility that Gaster will usurp the title of Knight and leave Everyman as the Knight’s “strange son” or as the far less illustrious role of “no one particularly important”.

If Everyman is in the game, I’d give 50/50 odds that he’s one of the Ice-E’s employees, mainly due to the Warrior’s situation lining up well with Chapter 2′s (likely) setting. I’d then give a 25% chance it’s Father Alvin and the remaining 25% as “anyone else”.

Thanks for reading all of this (or skipping to the end). I’ve seen hardly anyone talk about our favorite strange little man and I just wanted to get the word about him out there. Even if you don’t agree with my conclusions, I’m happy to (hopefully) ignite further discussion over this often-overlooked character.

For now I’ve said all that I can say on the topic. All we can do is wait and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

Special thanks to @curioscurio​ for inspiring me to make this post in the first place.

Porsche Taycan Revealed as Formula E Safety Car

A Porsche with leadership qualities: When the distinctively designed Taycan pulls out of the pit lane and onto the racetrack in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, it will quickly take the lead. Porsche’s first all-electric sports car is the new safety car in the innovative electric racing series this season. The vehicle will celebrate its racetrack debut at the opening round of the Formula E season on 28/29 January in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

Designed to be more than just the Formula E safety car, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S striking paintwork flies the colors of all eleven teams competing in the Championship, as well as the colors of the FIA and Formula E. It symbolizes the commitment of everyone involved in Formula E and the common path towards the future of all-electric motor racing. At the same time, it gives a visual expression of social values such as diversity and community. The number 22 acknowledges the performance of the 22 drivers who contest the series this season.

Thanks to its driveability and safety as well as its output of up to 560 kW (761 PS), the high performance Taycan Turbo S is the ideal choice in the critical role of a safety car in the only all-electric motorsport World Championship, racing in the heart of iconic world cities including London, Mexico City, New York City, Berlin, Monaco and Seoul. With Launch Control, the flagship model of the Taycan range accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h. The conversion of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S into a safety car required the installation of a roll cage and racing bucket seats with six-point seatbelts as well as wire harnesses for the safety car lighting and the Marelli Logger System. Flashing lights were integrated into the bumpers. The new workplace of Bruno Correia (Portugal), the long-standing FIA Formula E safety car driver, was also equipped with a fire extinguisher and a high-tech communication system. As a result, the safety vehicle meets all requirements for service in a highly competitive series such as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
