they are loving parents, they are caring parents. they do their best and they make kanako feel happy even while they remain trapped underground.
but they are parents who believe she's already dead.
with their mourning glances and whispered "sorry"s as they kiss her forehead when they think shes asleep.
kanako knows shes already dead.
she was not made to last. she was not meant to live a peaceful life. not with her soul, not with the underground's expectations that she will grow into a monster stronger than asgore himself. she will see the hell her parents has shielded her from the moment she looses her stripes and enters the "training" asgore had planned even before she was conceived.
until one day, that changes.
until one day, her father starts looking at her with something new: hope.
like she was the future.
like she was the answer.
like she wasn't their beloved child who was born to die.
but he wouldn't tell her what it was. when she asked, he almost seemed fearful.
it wasn't until she snuck into the laboratory, and she found him speaking to a little human girl her age did she know what her true purpose finally was.
don't worry about that last one don't worry about it

Sirius by @here1snyan i'm sorry for massacring your boy but there's no way i'm doing all those gradients and effects consistently in every single frame
Axis from the StarryScreenBuddy AU by @therealcallmekd
(the reason why the end was censored is bc it's heavy lore spoilers of an AU a friend is making, and she doesn't wanna reveal it just yet. it's redswap by @fuji-iri btw. i love mentally ill people who would rather die than admit they're experiencing grief)

Additional Tags: Hurt, Angst, Swearing, although basically none, Ace and Ed kinda being bros, Clover is barely a presence, Unethical Experimentation, yeah sorry I kinda made Chujin a piece of trash, this shit probably has bad pacing so be wary of a plot moving too fast or too slow, although I guess you should decide that, Starlo drowning in North Star, like seriously half the fic is just him arguing with himself while the other is Ceroba monologuing, just wanted to warn yall, Light Bondage, like seriously I dont even think you can call it that, although dont worry Starlo is too soft to hurt anyone, Ceroba is so depressed fr, Mooch is missing an arm :(, Pre-Undertale Yellow events, although itd be better to say Underfell in this case?, Starlo has only been exposed to the worst sheriffs in history
