truly nobody does it like GoodTimesWithScar. bro minmaxed his charisma in character creation and now hes the bard of the party that wrecks the entire enemy team with status debuffs. he could have thirteen boyfriends and i wouldn’t even question it. in fact id ask if i could be the fourteenth. bro routinely cons people out of their clothes, their livelihoods, their souls. he does this all while falling flat on his face btw. hes so babygirl boyfailure little scamp i think i need to put him into so many situations. on the same server he has people scared to death of him and people pitying him as if he were a poor little victorian era orphan dying of tuberculosis on the street corner. he has his tits out ALWAYS and his ass is falling out of his shorts. he will take any opportunity to strip naked not for any flirtatious or sexual desire but simply because he can. he is both hyper and hypo aware of everything going on around him at all times. he flies into walls at least three times a day. hes afraid of clowns. setting things on fire is second nature to him. he won secret life by being as crazily unfuckable as possible to the people around him. did i mention that hes a cannibal also

So much to unpack here...

You can ship whatever you want and don't have to justify it, period

Not everyone ships the same way you do. I personally can't stand crossovers, and just ship all my OCs with each other. Just because you like it doesn't mean everyone else does

The above is that whole problem of ignoring a canon dynamic that people find interesting in favor of trying to push a self insert into the mix to make it "not problematic" even though that lacks all the fun and flavor of the original ship that people found interesting

Idk who's still calling that cringe in 2024. Utilize your block button and find more fun people to follow

"Pedophilia is cringe!" is just funny to me sorry

Modern online fandom culture was built on the ideas of "ship and let ship" and "your kink is not my kink and that's okay" can we please go back to that???

SHIPPING A PROBLEMATIC RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T MEAN YOU ACTUALLY ENDORSE THOSE THINGS OR WANT TO SEE THEM IRL HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SAY IT WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKU

Fandom Problem #6375:

When people justify shipping incest and/or pedophilia with “there aren’t any other characters to ship them with!” If you need to ship them with another character so badly just crossover ship or ship them with an OC. “But that’s cringe!” And shipping incest or pedophilia isn’t? Has fandom culture really devolved to the point where it’s more acceptable to ship incest or pedophilia than OC/Canon or crossover characters bc the latter is considered cringey? If so, fandom culture really needs re-evaluate its priorities.

the post: everything has a right to exist in fiction, even if it's fucked up

the comments: i was going to reblog this until i realized op likes fucked up stuff in fiction. this is a common dogwhistle phrase for people who like fucked up stuff in fiction. they have to talk in code to trick people into agreeing with them. stay safe out there!

angel on my shoulder, trying to get my attention and slowly growing smaller with a more squeaky voice as it speaks : please ! wouldnt it be so "based" and "slay pilled" if you let you weary body rest ? it is almost 2 am for goodness sake ! weren't you so tired earlier ? your body is precious ! it deserves rest ! please !

devil on my shoulder, pounding a celsius: you need to join a discord convo thats gonna keep you up for at least another hour with people in a differnt timezone for the fifth night in a row ruight fucking now

[rebouks]

no but we need to talk abt these two caps specifically okay cos like..

robin's tryna dance around what he KNOWS from having access to poor Levi's mind without sounding presumptuous or insane or whatever and Levi's just desperately trying not to fall apart next to this kid he's been TRYING to bully and get to talk for like EVER next to his scary dad who's actually being kinda nice and comforting for some ungodly reason like wtf is up with that?!

and fkin Oscar KNOWS that this kid has been giving Robin a hard time for a while now yet here he is being all compassionate and shit even tho he has every right to be like u kno what fuck this kid and his bullshit take him home and dump his ass AND LOOK HOW PROUD OSCAR LOOKS OF HIS BABY T-T but he still kinda puts Robin in charge of the situation even tho he's prolly gonna take Levi to the hospital n shit himself if Robin wants out cos how could he not when the poor kid is crying and refusing to go home right in front of him-.. like Oscar was never really respected too much as a PERSON when he was little so he's making sure he does that for his own kiddos n tryna make sure Robin's on board with everything before he makes a decision without considering him and ahhhkhsdkjskjd I'M UNWELL

I really like the show but it makes me uncomfortable when people accuse other people (well, accuse "straight" woman, because it's always "straight" women in these scenarios) of fetishizing it and getting off to it

Like the most graphic thing we've seen so far is someone getting a hickey, and the majority of the show is spent unpacking issues like homophobia, transphobia, body dysmorphia, sexual assault, bullying, self harm, etc etc. It just never sits right with me.

Just anti-fujoshi things: Hating Heartstopper because it "fetishizes gay people, although not in a sexual way" ????? If it's not in a sexual way, then it's not a fetish????

[avnasace]

for some reason i need furina and scara to be bitchy best friends

i need scara and furina complaining about arlecchino

i need them venting about how much their respective gods fucked them up

i need them bonding over reinventing themselves

they would actually be such an iconic duo

[lilaccatholic]

My sister came home with the biggest bottle of pre-mixed margaritas and looked me dead in the eye and said, "I'm not making it through Christmas with our family sober." So. That's how we're doing.

[sun-e-chips]

It’s Christmas morning and your parents actually got you that 7ft tall robot jester you’ve been raving about and now you have to awkwardly unwrap them in front of the rest of your family.

[mxnster-soul]

karaoke?!?! what is bill singing,,, what is that funky little guy's music taste,,, the internet wants to know.

Omg, we're absolutely VIBING to Prom dress, Charlie's inferno, Miss Miseryguts, some meme shenanigans, and other stuff (story of undertale cuz it's a banger)

Turns out our tastes in music is hella similar ^^

[krakenshaped]

It's cheaper to buy a preowned playstation 2 and silent hill 1+2+3 than it is to buy a switch 2 and like one game. Important facts.

[jesncin]

i got...quite the reaction to the vampire king post in the ask box so um. pardon me as I get to a couple of asks regarding the matter lol

[spookitordukeit]

Ehhh just finished rereading tbasawas and I have a question!

If it’s not spoilers what are the skeletons jobs? And are they very rich or just well off

Hello!!!^^ I’m honored to hear you like my silly little story enough to reread it!!

Not a spoiler at all so I’m happy to divulge :3 (as usual, I will be yapping and you will receive far more information then you asked for lmao)

The guys definitely struggled at first, especially when it was just the classics that emerged from the surface— it took awhile for Monsters to get working rights, and to figure out what their citizenship status would be, so earning money and finding housing was tricky.

By the time underswap emerges, the classics have a run down little apartment. Comet runs his Hot Dog stand and works two fast food jobs while he works to get his PhD recognized by the human government. Star works in a grocery store and as the ‘Monster Mascot’ while humans are still wary of Monsters.

When classic and swap Monsters are told they must form packs, the skeleton family realizes that their shabby little two bedroom apparent is too small for four grown Monsters— so they pick up a couple more shifts while Blue and Stretch wait to receive ID’s and working permits. And once they scrounge up enough money, they find a slightly larger condo.

It’s two bedrooms with an office and an unfinished basement, both of which are transformed into more bedrooms. It’s not ideal, but it’s works.

Comet gets his PhD recognized and starts working as a high school science teacher, still picking up part time shifts at his fast food job whenever he can, but he can afford to quit the other.

Star gets promoted to manager at his grocery store job and his social media presence does well enough that he starts earning a little bit of income from that as well. His work as mascot does a lot to help better human’s perceptions of Monsters, and relations run smoothly for the most part.

Stretch works wherever and whenever he can. He picks up odd one-time jobs and seasonal jobs. Working at flower and produce stands, manual labor gigs and anything else under the sun. Sometimes he runs Comet’s old hotdog stand or works as a cashier at classic Muffets. Stretch doesn’t work to have his PhD verified.

Blue works a lot in construction, as they aren’t very picky as long as you work hard. It’s tiring and dirty, but pays well enough that he can make around the same amount of money as the others. Although that doesn’t stop him from picking up other odd jobs!! Barista, bartender, security jobs- nothing is too much for the magnificent Blue!

They’re definitely not struggling as much as before, but things are still a little tight. At the very least, Star and Comet have stable and secure jobs— and there are also programs to help Monsters that are struggling financially. So there’s that!!

Well- until UnderFell joins the chat…

The arrival of UnderFell turns the humans, and therefore the human job market, against Monsters for a little while. Despite their best efforts.

And the pack is once again faced with a reoccurring issue.

There’s not enough room.

Ensue a frantic scramble and shuffling of rooms and spaces while the skeleton pack tries to gather enough funds to move, once again, AND deal with the sudden surge of human vs Monster tensions that are on the rise.

It’s a lot harder for Fell Monsters to gain working permits, let alone a job. Red takes whatever is willing to pay him under the table. Bouncer gigs, transportation, security. Even a couple of the more shadier things. He’s not picky, money is money and he’ll be damned if he spends one more night with one of the marshmallows—

Edge… is very hard to employ. He tries for the military but they won’t even consider taking him until his mandated therapy is complete. And with the track he’s on now… it’ll be years until then.

Edge settles for phone scam jobs where he gets to intimidate weak minded humans into paying for overpriced items. He very quickly becomes their top employee.

Within the next few years, tensions have settled, better jobs have been acquired, and enough money has been saved that they can afford a proper house in the middle of nowhere.

And by proper, I mean a run down, out of date, most likely haunted, hundred year old house that is just barely within their budget.

It’s not great by any means, but it’s good enough while they once again save up money, to fix it.

Over the next couple years, Comet gets a better, higher paying job at a prestigious college working as a professor, making the most out of his now multiple PhDs. He makes pretty good money, even if he has to deal with snobs all day.

Star’s social media presence has really blown up in the last couple years with his expert handling of the UnderFell debacle. His following has been growing since day one of the Monsters emergence, and now it brings him in quite a bit of money. Enough that it’s almost overwhelming—

He starts to expand his reach on other platforms, and his income nearly doubles. People do collaborations with him and ask to sponsor him often, he’s alway being sent free things from companies in hopes that Star even being seen with their products will boost their sales.

Needless to say, Comet and Star easily bring in the most money.

Blue has solidified his standing within the local community and really enjoys watching it flourish. He’s brought on to the police force not long after establishing a community watch program on his own. It’s inevitable that Blue slowly makes his way through the ranks and becomes a beloved face and proud protector of his community.

As the stress and need for money lessens, Stretch eases out of a few of his jobs to focus on something more relaxing. Like growing weed. People pay good money to get high, and Stretch uses plenty of his own product, so it’s a win-win.

Stretch hadn’t really thought much of his writing until he sent in a manuscript of his for shits and giggles once while he was high. He certainly hadn’t expected to have it be accepted and published— and most certainly hadn’t anticipated its popularity-!

And with popularity, comes royalties. And let’s just say he definitely thought he must’ve been high off his ass when he saw those numbers.

Edge has been (slightly) reformed and no longer scams people over the phone.

He now scams them in person.

Kidding!!!

After Blue’s nagging and the side eyeing from his therapist, Edge leaves his position as No.1 scammer and searches for a new job.

Somehow, Edge is now somewhat of a popular character on Star’s channel. After he kept appearing in the background and viewers kept inquiring, Edge has made a few appearances. Scowling into the camera and snarking at the live chat whenever the flood of ‘bbg’ and emoji mashes come in.

The people love him and honestly everyone in the skeleton pack is a bit baffled. But Edge reluctantly goes with it anyway, and through social media, discovers personal fitness trainers.

A whole new world is opened to him, and using his small bit of fame and a few connections from Star, Edge gets his certification and and now works as a personal trainer. Blue is very proud Edge is no longer illegally scamming people (and no longer fears having to arrest him), and Edge gets to tell people what to do. It’s an all around win.

Red finds more permanent work at The Hearthstone casino. A high end casino run by UnderFell and Classic Grilby. Red works as head of security as a bodyguard for VIP’s and a bouncer. He gets paid well, gets to rough up people who don’t follow the rules, and gets free drinks. He’s living the life.

The skeleton pack lives a a decent middle to upper middle class for a solid few years until SwapFell arrives.

It’s not as bad as when UnderFell came crashing through, as they’re more prepared and have ample space, but it does take a bit to get used to.

Black and Grim get settled quicker now that there are more programs in place. Grim pretty quickly establishes himself as a digital artist and gets a degree in cyber security. He gets paid pretty well in commissions, and Star even pays him to do branding designs for him. A win-win as it very quickly spreads word on Grim’s service’s.

Black struggles a bit more then his younger brother… he ends up working under Red for awhile while trying to find what he’s good at. He dabbles in growing tea’s in his free time in one of the greenhouses Stretch lent him.

Things are pretty settled until Horrortale comes through.

It’s new, and well, horrifying. It’s hard for Bear and Sparrow to leave the house, let alone find work.

Star takes advantage of his influencer status to work from home, keeping an eye on them while they find themselves.

Sparrow makes a lot of things with his anxious energy, and a few of his items end up around the house and are inevitably seen by a few of Star’s viewers. Cute plushies, massive handmade nest boxes, knitted blankets— things catered towards omegas. Something people sorely needed.

It’s no surprise when Sparrow is asked if he’ll do commissions. Which spirals into making an online shop, which turns into a physical one, and then into multiple stores and finally a chain of stores around the world. Needless to say, Sparrow makes money.

Bear is a bit more low key in his success, finding enjoyment in baking and growing produce along side Black’s tea. And at Sparrow’s prompting, the two of them combine their interest’s and buy a small shop together.

The BlackBear Cafe is a hit in their community, selling baked goods, fresh produce and hand made high quality teas. Grim even designed their logo.

So!! as a wrap—

Comet works as a sought after and respected professor in a very esteemed collage as well as a private tutor in his free time.

Star is a full time influencer. He does work from home and out in the world, doing hair and makeup for people and helping style clothes. He does a lot of collaborating and crowd work at events and does a lot to help any cause or charities he can.

Blue is captain of the police force, as well as Community warden along with Edge, Black, and Star

Stretch is a best selling author of a popular book series, he also grows and sells weed.

Red works as the head of security at the Hearthstone Casino doing bodyguard and bouncer work.

Edge works as a personal trainer, and sometimes works with Star on social media

Black makes and sells teas at the Blackbear Cafe with Bear

Grim works as a cyber tester, showing companies where their weaknesses are and how to fix them. He also does art commissions and sometimes works with Bear and Black in the cafe.

Bear works at the BlackBear cafe with Black, selling baked goods and freshly grown produce that he grows and prepares himself.

Sparrow is the owner of a growing global brand called The Sparrows Nest that sells items for all dynamics and is the most well made and non harmful brand around.

All in all, they make a fuck ton of money, but it’s hard earned. A pretty upper class pack.

Uggghh it’s 1:13 am…. Sorry if it got rush towards the end, I am eeepy and have work in the morning but I wanted to get this done ✊😔 just a girl in the world…. Sorry for typos I literally am so eep rn
