What if
How far would a god go to protect the ones they love? Sacrificing their body to be twisted and warped by the deep Eldritch magics that lay deep within the crown?

What if I'm the Monster?
(Based on Monster from Epic the Musical, it's incredible, give it a listen)
So! For the past few years, Danny has done nothing but defend Amity Park from Agressive Ghosts, Lunatic Ghost Hunters, and the GIW, all on his own. But no matter what he does, he is always seen as a Monster by the people of the town, just for being a Ghost.
Over the years he has lost a lot.
His Best Friend. His Mentor. His Mom.
Tucker was caught by the GIW and arrested for helping Phantom, and was never heard from again. His Parents still visit the Mayor's office for any word of him, but no one has any idea what happened.
Danny and Clockwork had a falling out after Danny refused to go down his intended path. He wanted to live his own life, one not predetermined by a Time God. Clockwork had told him that he would regret the decision, and left.
And his Mom had died after discovering his secret. She had surprisingly accepted him, but then the GIW had tried to capture him and she decided to defend him, and she got caught in the crossfire.
Every time Danny tried defending the people of Amity Park, he was vilified and hated even more. He would never be a Hero in their eyes, he was no Justice League. He had lost so much just defending them, but he couldn't bring himself to resent them, they didn't know what they were doing, it was how they were supposed to think. He still needed to defend them.
But he could no longer do so acting as the Hero.
Being a Hero stopped him from raiding the base that he assumed Tucker was being held in. Being a Hero led him to disagreeing with Clockworks advice. Being a Hero led to his Mom's death.
So he would be The Monster, instead.

when the piece of media explores themes of humanity versus monstrosity. on one hand, it’s “how far can I go before I am just as monstrous as those I deem my enemies? the further i go the more certain i am that i’ve crossed a line. am I even human anymore?” and on the other hand it’s “was the monster always a monster? what makes it evil, what makes it inhuman? what has it done that i fear it?”
in both cases it is “i am looking at the creature I am fighting and i see a mirror of myself. was i always this way? was it always this way?”

Oh, Odysseus no. Don't become the monster. Don't deal the blow. Don't become a monster unlike anything they’ve ever known. This life is amazing if you greet it with open arms. No matter what you face you'll be fine if you lead from the heart. Greet the world with open arms. Greet the world with open arms.

Just watched Hirokazu Koreeda's Monster and it's incredible how I was anxious through the first hour of the film and was weeping like a baby through the last hour. An impeccable and heart moving screenplay that will stay in my heart forever.
"If only some people can have it, that's not happiness."

hey do you think in the undertale universe the etymology for the word "monster" originated from Monsters just being the name of their race but after their banishment evolved into meaning derogatorily inhuman, evil, inherently violent/unintelligent etc
or I mean we never really see much of the surface or anything so maybe they don't have that word at all or it just fell out of use with their presumed extinction. idk if there's solid proof it exists or means the same

NEW UPDATE! NEW UPDATE!!
The Welcome Home website is now Spookified! with some new Halloween content under merchandise! I love the new storybook audio with Sally and the gang’s spectacular spooky stories!
Also at the bottom of the page, there’s this sinister, bone chilling, Wally costume!
I had to draw myself in it.
I couldn’t resist. It’s so silly!
How terrifying!
🎃 🌕 🎃

I’ve been exposed to waaaay too much taylor swift lately, so I went for a walk on the anti tag to cleanse my mind. I’ve seen a lot of commentary about her racism / privilege / climate crimes etc, which is all extremely important ofc, but also, like…
She’s boring. SO boring. The music, the lyrics, the ideas, everything, it’s just the most basic stuff you can imagine, just beige all around.
I get being basic but, like… at least Starbucks drinks have some semblance of taste.
