having font daydreams during class is a new one but not surprising

On the topic of gaster because I have him on the brain now. Interesting to me that so many people see the “what do you two think” line as referring to sans and papyrus. Even though I don’t think there’s really any connection between papyrus and gaster other than they’re both connected to sans in some way. Sans has the gaster blaster as the big one but he also has the workshop and whatever and also the out of nowhere acknowledgement of timelines. (Don’t get me started on this. Or do. I have a lot to say on how the timeline acknowledgement and sans being secretly super powerful feels more like a joke than something you’re supposed to take seriously but also I’ve never actually fought him so idk lol. Maybe that’s the gist of it actually.) Papyrus doesn’t really have anything connecting him to gaster. I think this is another reason the “gaster is blood related to the skeletons” thing never really felt right to me LOL However I’m not really sure what to actually make of the line. iirc alphys didn’t actually seem to be well known until she created mettaton? So I’m not sure she would necessarily have been super close with gaster. Idk. I don’t have much more to say about this. I’m not sure where I was going with this lol

Unfortunately relatable. I grew up in the church and have a lot of Christian trauma from that. I show up for special occasions for my parents… sometimes. But it’s uncomfortable from the moment I step through the door. Bigoted pastor, the self-righteousness disguising the prejudice, the political comments from the altar. Shots at young people left right and center as if the hell on earth wasn’t caused by the same older generation 90% of the congregation belongs to..
I miss being young in the choir and the youth groups and not struggling with it. It’s wild to look back at the younger version of me who was unshakeable in his faith and honestly just saddening.
I was texting my sister today about it and she said
“I 100% think ALL of us have a ton of religious trauma and everyone else in the family just doesn’t realize it cause they’re still drinking the kool-aid.”
I ran out of tag room and didn’t want to delete any 😭 seriously not lying I could write a book about all my thoughts and experiences

anyway my personal ranks of origins backstories just in the game by themselves is brosca and tabris at the top, aeducan at the bottom. cousland i will admit is pretty impactful but i still feel like, as wild as an option it would have been, that a cousland warden should had the option to solo rule. they are from the only other teryn in ferelden and it's even said that it was considered for bryce to rule so like! come on!
aeducan is at the bottom because it so tightly locks you into siding against bhelen, which i suppose is fair for brosca being so skewed in behlens favor bc of rica, but brosca is just Good so i forgive that, while aeducan is just suffering.
i still stand by my idea that the 'noble' dwarven origin shouldn't have been the second aeducan child, they should have been the second aeducan's second in place of gorim. that way there would have been more room for roleplay. also the second aeducan child would have been a secret third option for ruler of orzammar that you would encounter with the legion of the dead that they joined after being kicked out.
you would have to both do the legion of dead quest to give them a noble caste, and also have high as hell coercion for it to work but it would really cool and also so funny to do. that said the origin just by itself is pretty fun, love being backstabbed by my second favorite baby brother from the dragon age franchise
mahariel and the magi warden are in the 'i like them but they don't feel as impactful' as much as it hurts me. they're both just kinda there, however that said if the game let you recruit jowan into your party that would bring the magi warden up much higher. alas.

i think one of the reasons i really adore kglw's music is that. well there are 21 albums and a lot of the songs are like 10 minutes long (or more, dripping tap my beloved) and having a Lot scratches my brain in a very good way but Aside from that, i do genuinely think the actual instrumentals could stand fully and completely ny themselves and still be absolutely incredible. i personally did not think the lyrics are the Point of the art for me mostly bc i have a hard time comprehending lyrics in the moment in general so they fade to the background. which is why when they have a 10 min song and over half of it is the most incredible instrumental that makes you feel like youre gnawing on smthn the lyrics dont feel as important. its why the microtones are so neat.
but then when you Do pick up on the lyrics theyre kind of out there in a good fun way?? sure theres "lava, sticky like peanut butter" which. okay. hard to take that one super seriously (and "polygondwanaland is full of dinosaurs" makes me laugh) but the mouth feel of some of them is just absolutely unmatched. robot stop is an absolute pleasure to sing. "subterranean tsar, the scimitar and the neutron star" has such a good feel to it. and Then you start finding the self referential stuff, outside of just music riffs (which, finding the melody from hot water in robot stop delighted me immensly) and its even cooler! theres lore??? you open genius lyric and theres someone claiming "yeah man clocks are So crucial to gizz lore" like wow okay sure we can say that! like i still think the sound of it all is more important to me than the words and the lyrics tend to just add to the actual sound but like they are both important and cool just in different ways and in differing magnitude depending on the album.
