Lock and Cale
What if Cale left Lock alone before the Battle of the Gorge of Death not only because he thinks being alone makes a Wolf stronger? Cale—no, KRS—became stronger and more reliable in some ways after he lost the Soos and became team leader, didn't he? 🥲
And then he gets to realize not everyone is like him. Lock didn't lose everyone this time. This Lock wasn't like TBoaH!Lock. Lock wasn't like Team Leader KRS either.

Very normal about this Spam NEO fight, but I'm also curious how closely the fight plays out.
Does Frisk spare him by snapping wires still? Does he fall just like the base game when they're gone? I know he's gonna be better off at the end than becoming a pair of sunglasses, if only because he's gonna be a party member, but...
You assume this because he's a party member, but the Secret bosses are also only party Members for the duration of the Chapter they're from ;)
...
I could just leave this ask with that but, lets be honest here, I've said before that this AU initially spawned out of me joking about if Frisk was the Deltarune protag, freeing Spamton would've worked. Of course it ends better, this is happy ending city babey, that's all I do!
Frisk does snap the wires, yes, because that seems to be what Spamton's freaking out about as far as they can tell. Spamton doesn't actually get what they're doing until After all the strings are cut and he's fallen though, at which point he realizes they were trying to help him, feels somewhat guilty, and then feels a whole lot worse in general because it didn't Work.
Killing them didn't work (or, at least, he utterly failed to do so), cutting the strings Didn't Work, and now all his work was for Nothing and he tried to kill a child that did nothing but help him this entire time and that, despite how much he would attempt to convince himself otherwise, he DID get attached to. Everything's utterly fallen apart and there's nothing he can do to fix any of it. His one big plan was a dud and he has nothing else.
So Spamton is pretty ready to give up and just be a pair of glasses, but Frisk...
Well, Frisk isn't one to give up on a friend no matter what, and they will Not fail to save anyone ever again. So they try to help Spamton get back up. Again, and again, and again, and again.
And, well, that kinda Determination is enough to inspire a little hope in anyone, y'know?
And, you know, maybe, just maybe, sometimes, a little hope, a lotta determination, and a friend is all you need to defy the rules of the game.
Maybe, sometimes, you get to be more than Just A Puppet.

I was thinking about merthur and shadowpeach, and my brainrots gave me thoughts about shadowpeach in merthur's positions. My first thought was macaque as merlin cause of the devotion to their king, and extreme loyalty. but Emrys is the absolute most powerful person in the universe, kind of like wukong.
But if wukong was in merlin position, no way he wouldnt blow his secret in a week and/or overthow urther (and either place himself as king or macaque)
see, here’s the thing: shadowpeach and merthur are on 2 opposite sides of the devotion spectrum despite both leading to each pairing’s destruction and doom
merthur is devotion in silence and secrets and devotion in sacrifice. both of those idiots have a habit of doing selfless and self-sacrificial acts out of devotion and loyalty. but it was choked by prophecies and generations of harm
shadowpeach is devotion in self-destruction and shared secrets and silent paths made together. they fought together without any needing to hide. their care was open and understood by others. but it was ruined by the hubris of one who wished to conquer the stars just to ensure his loved were protected. the devotion soured into a resentment of their past joys because they didn’t know how to stop themselves from reaching more than they should have

I am currently rotating why Alfinne and Jeaneaux gave Rowan Rhalgr as a patron deity (because I did that for "I like the Lightning Element" reasons (and I do not think of her as a crafter)).
"Rhalgr? Surely a softer god like Nophica or Bryegot would suit a sweet girl like her," Jeaneaux said. "Though I do suppose that if she's from Gyr Abania and should match what her birth family gave her..."
"Darling, after all the struggle she's had to even get to this point, I think the god of getting through harsh challenges and coming out stronger suits her the best," Alfinne said.
Thanks for the ask!
