#uppercase to lowercase conversion

[a2zconverter]

Some online case converter tools allow you to convert only specific words within your text to lowercase, leaving the rest unchanged. This is useful for maintaining proper nouns or acronyms in lowercase text.

You enjoyed your alone time. You enjoyed sitting in the sun, letting your thoughts drift like leaves on a quiet stream. But what you didn't enjoy was the sick feeling in your chest, the lingering weight ever since you overheard your closest friends talking.

Jokes—cruel, biting jokes—made at your expense. Jabs and snarky remarks about your personality. Insults shot carelessly at things you'd done, things you had opened up to them about in confidence. Laughter as if your heart wasn’t breaking in real-time.

You couldn’t help but wonder: how often did they do this? Did they always sit around, mocking your every move? Were the kind words they spoke to you all just an act? Was this new, or had it been happening for months?

Regret settled in your stomach like a stone. You wished you had never told them so much. You wished you had just kept quiet.

A specific comment from earlier echoed in your mind—something about your habit of talking too much. And now, thinking back on it, you realize just how annoying you must have been.

Lost in thought, you flinch when a familiar voice calls your name. The deep, soothing tone pulls you back to the present, and the sight of Se-mi instantly lifts some of the weight off your chest.

Her smile—stupidly beautiful, shining just as brightly as the sun beaming down on you both—felt like warmth after a cold, lonely night.

She settles into the seat beside you, turning to face you with concern written all over her features. Her eyes scan your face, immediately noticing that something is wrong.

“Something’s up,” she says gently. “Wanna talk about it?”

She reaches out, brushing a loose strand of hair behind your ear. The tenderness in her touch makes your chest tighten.

But then you remember—the cause of this whole situation. You talk too much. So you press your lips together and shake your head, avoiding her gaze.

Se-mi doesn’t buy it. She notices the way your shoulders tense, the way your fingers tremble against the fabric of your shirt. And when she sees the tears welling up in your eyes, she doesn’t hesitate.

She places a warm hand against your cheek, tilting your face toward her. Her sleeve falls slightly as she wipes away the first tear that spills over.

“You know you can tell me anything,” she whispers, her thumb tracing soft circles on your skin.

You inhale a shaky breath, trying to steady yourself. This was Se-mi—your best friend since you were eight. The girl who used to chase you around the playground, who sat beside you during every lunch period, who always knew when you needed someone.

After a moment of hesitation, you give in.

“Se-mi…” Your voice is small. Fragile. “Do I talk too much?”

Her brows furrow, confusion flashing across her features. “Talk too much?” she repeats, as if the idea is absurd. “Never.” Then, her expression shifts, eyes narrowing slightly. “Where’s this coming from? Did someone say something to you?”

You avert your gaze, nodding weakly. A small sob escapes your lips before you can stop it.

Se-mi whispers your name, and before you know it, she’s pulling you into her arms. One hand cradles the back of your head while the other rubs soothingly along your spine. She holds you the way someone holds something precious—careful, protective, full of unspoken love.

“You never talk too much,” she murmurs into your hair. “I could never get sick of hearing you talk. I love your voice, after all.”

You sniffle, gripping onto her sweater.

“You’re so easy to talk to,” she continues. “And you always have the best stories. Even your silly dad jokes.”

That earns a small, watery laugh from you. And when you glance up at her, she’s already looking at you with so much sincerity it makes your breath hitch.

“You think so?” you ask, voice barely above a whisper.

Se-mi smiles, tucking a stray hair behind your ear once more before pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. Then, she rests her own forehead against yours, her eyes never leaving yours.

“I promise.”

In that moment, the world outside—the whispers of betrayal, the sting of cruel laughter, the doubts clawing at your chest—fades into nothing.

Because as long as you had your dearest Se-mi, did anything or anyone else really matter?

She loved you for you.

Every habit, every flaw, every part of you. And she always would.

And that was all you would ever need.

Shang Simla - A Chinese-Simlish Font

Good morning everyone! I have a new font to share with you today! Details and download below:

I've been studying Mandarin for last five months or so, and I've really wanted to make a Chinese Simlish font for awhile, but I wasn't comfortable with it until I learned more about the writing system (my app focuses on vocabulary and conversation). Thankfully, I work in an insane asylum library and we recently added a few books to our collection about learning Chinese, including how to write it, so I finally decided to tackle this project.

Shang Simla is a Chinese-Simlish hybrid font. There are 26 "letter" glyphs (they correspond to the English keyboard), ten numbers and the absolute bare minimum of punctuation since that wasn't really the focus here. Each glyph is a combination of a Chinese character and a Simlish character - some of them are Simlish characters with Chinese radicals added, and others are kind of mashed up.

A few notes:

I had issues exporting the file for this one. Copying all the uppercase glyphs to the lowercase glyphs seem to fix the .OTF, so you can use either and you'll get the same results.

The glyphs are effing huge. I have no idea why, but you'll likely need to use some very small font sizes.

I used the standard Chinese characters for the numbers since Simlish numbers are usually just straight "English" numbers anyway. I ended up using the character for 10 in place of 0 because the Chinese 0 is an insanely complicated character that just wasn't playing nicely with my font tool. Since the 10 gets used in combination with other numbers quite frequently, I decided I was more than okay with it.

This is a pretty rudimentary font and I'm hoping to use it as a base for a more stylized version in the future. My main goal was to see if it could work at all, and I think this was a success in that regard.

If you have any issues with the file, please let me know. It looks empty when you go to install it, but it showed up fine in Photoshop.

Attribution is appreciated, and I’d love to see your projects if you use it! Please do not use for commercial purposes or redistribute the font itself.

All right! Out into the wild with ya:

Fluffebruary: Moving in Together

Written for @bucktommyfluffebruary

AO3 link

It was dark out and late, probably close to 10PM. All their friends and family had gone, leaving Buck and Tommy alone in their new home—a 90’s built split-level in a truly sickening shade of yellow. Unfortunately, painting the siding was low on the list of maintenance the house needed.

Buck had his stint in construction, and Tommy painstakingly renovated the Craftsman he recently sold for a small fortune, so a lot of it they could do themselves. What they wouldn’t fuck with was electrical, and the house needed a new A/C unit. Of course, it was the middle of July, and their choices were to wait a week for a crew to come out or pay what Buck considered grand larceny to bump their job up to priority. They stupidly chose the former.

Buck sat on the floor in front of the couch, keying in streaming passwords, and, WOW, was that a conversation he never thought he’d have.

“So, do we keep my Nexflix?”

“No. I’ve been with them since they were disc only.”

“Bu-but my recommendations.”

“Too bad.”

Tommy came in with the fan from their bedroom. “Oh, thank God!” Buck groaned and threw his head back, reveling in the blast of air as soon as Tommy turned it on. The doorbell rang, and he gave a punch of joy. The pizza had arrived. The first delivery to their home. Just in time, too, because Buck was ready to gnaw his arm off.

Tommy returned with the pies and unceremoniously plopped them onto Buck’s lap. He swung his leg over Buck’s shoulder and sat behind him on the couch. Buck handed Tommy the top pie, opened the one on his lap, and then they both closed their respective boxes and switched.

Buck hated onions, and Tommy hated green peppers, and both were sick of abstaining for the sake of the other. They could, and did once, order half and half, but it was impossible to not find a stray onion on Buck’s side or for the green peppers not to permeate the entire pie. Now, they each order their own. Which was no hardship, honestly.

They didn't keep their own Netflix accounts. Not at over $17 a month, they weren’t. They canceled and kept Tommy’s Hulu bundle and Buck’s Max account, but if they decided to resubscribe in the future, they would sign up with their email. The joint email their joint bills were sent, like the mortgage, gas, electric, and garbage. All the things Buck hadn’t had to deal with being a lifelong renter. It was freaking exhilarating!

Buck turned his head and kissed Tommy’s knee. He rubbed his stubble against it and then dug into his onionless pizza. “How’s your back?” he asked around a mouthful.

Tommy’s blunt nails scratched against his scalp, and Buck moved into it. “I’ll live. I thought about digging through the bathroom boxes for the heating pad, but it’s so hot, I’m sure you putting your hand against it would be just as good.” Buck snorted and then groaned, throwing his slice back into the box. “What’s wrong?” Tommy asked.

“This one wants the password. No QR code. And it’s one of yours, so it’s, like 20 characters,” Buck groused.

“Poor, baby,” Tommy cooed.

Buck gave a soft grin. He couldn’t see him, but just from his tone, Buck knew Tommy had his head tipped back, eyes closed, chewing absentmindedly. They were both exhausted, and all Buck wanted to do was start a movie and eat pizza with his partner. In their home.

“Hey, remember cable?” Buck asked. He pulled his phone close and tried to figure out if the next letter was an uppercase I or a lowercase l. “It was kind of amazing, right? Maybe we should cancel all of this and get cable instead.”

The hand in hair gripped and gave a light tug. “I do remember, and I remember how hellish it was trying to get out of it. No dice.” Tommy went back to scratching, and Buck grunted, dissatisfied with his answer but understanding Tommy’s point of view. “You know what else I remember?” Tommy asked. “Antennas. Our father refused to get cable until 1997. Not only that, but the TV we used the most was black and white.”

Buck twisted around to see Tommy's face. He was right. Tommy's head rested against the couch, and his eyes were barely open. Buck grinned uncertainly, not sure if Tommy was kidding. “Really? You only had black and white?”

“I didn’t say that. We had a huge—well, huge at the time—36” color TV that did picture-in-picture and had the option to add surround sound. But after 5PM on weekdays, and forget about the weekends, that TV became my father’s. That left the 12” black and white that still used a rotary tuner for my brother and I to fight over.”

“And since he was three years older...”

“Got his way, yeah.”

Buck gave Tommy’s knee another kiss. “I’m sorry,” he said, feeling bad for little Tommy.

Tommy shrugged. “That’s life, right? Anyway, it worked out on Fridays. TGIF was pretty much the only thing CJ and I agreed on.”

“Was that a TV show?”

Tommy froze, slice halfway to his mouth, and then he frowned. “I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me or not?”

Buck smirked. “I am. Sorta. Like, I’ve heard of it I’m just not 100% sure what the line-up was.”

“Most of the time, I forget there’s an age gap, and then you’ll say something...”

“In my defense, I was popculturally sheltered. Mom and Dad wanted us to read...”

“Which you hated.”

“...which I hated,” Buck agreed. “When I did get to watch, I was mostly relegated to PBS.”

“Mostly?”

“I caught a rerun of Mystery Science Theater 3000 one Sunday morning and was hooked. They didn’t object for whatever reason, so most of my movie knowledge comes from bad B movies from the 60s and 70s.”

Tommy chuckled and said affectionately, “Nerd.” He pulled himself down with a hand around Buck’s neck, and they shared a greasy, pizza-y kiss. Tommy tasted like pepperoni, sauce, and onions. Gross, but sometimes sacrifices had to be made for love. Buck pushed Tommy’s pizza box out of the way and straddled his lap, logging into their streaming services forgotten. They kissed again, and Buck knew Tommy was suffering just as much with his green pepper breath.

When the kiss broke, Tommy nuzzled into Buck’s neck, and Buck stroked the sweat-damp hair at the back of Tommy’s head. It was too hot to be this close, but Buck couldn’t bring himself to care, and he was pleased to know Tommy felt the same. “You know, going forward, TV, movies, music, technology, all of it, we’ll get to experience together. The gaps between us are going to narrow.”

“They barely exist now,” Tommy said. He pulled back, staring at Buck intensely. His fingertips followed the line of Buck’s jaw, and with just a touch of pressure to his chin, Tommy tilted Buck’s face. Their lips brush together two and then three times. “I think we’re going to be happy here,” Tommy confessed.

In the house they bought, in the relationship they built, and with the love they made, Buck agreed. "I know we will.

pls post an in depth tutorial on ur text messages bc when i try to they always turn green but im like nono i want blue

Of course!

Here’s an in-depth tutorial of how i do my text messages!

(Whether they’re green or blue isn’t really something i know how to control, i just know that mine come back blue when i text myself.)

1. Make your phone number a contact in your phone!

Obviously, you’ll want it to be the name of whoever you’re texting as well as their contact photo. In this instance, we will use Chris, just because he was the last one I used.

2. Go into your iMessage app and start a new conversation with your contact!

You can look it up by number or by name, i find it easier to do it by name!

3. Start texting!

The most fun part; coming up with an idea and playing both roles. I like to make certain changes to make them seem more realistic and to differentiate between the reader and whoever they’re talking to! For instance, i ALWAYS make Matt and Chris use lowercase format. Their messages NEVER start with an uppercase letter so that i can easily tell which messages to delete when i’m going through them. I also make Matt and Chris use the wrong versions of your/you’re and there/their/they’re sometimes since they have a history of being grammatically incorrect.

4. The most frustrating part is having to delete some messages.

Remember: you’re texting your own number. These messages have nowhere else to go except back to you! So you’ll have to go through and manually select which ones to delete to make the conversation make sense! (I have had to start over on SEVERAL of these because of one message that i deleted on the wrong side, so take the time to pay close attention to which messages you are deleting! I literally had to redo my example ones 💀)

5. Review and make sure it all looks good!

Usually if I have longer ones, i like to make sure there’s enough conversation to make two separate screenshots without too much layover in the second one. Too much layover can cause confusion and make the reader less interested in the conversation. One or two messages is okay, just so the reader remembers where they left off at, but i try to keep it at three MAX.

6. Screenshot!

I like to keep the time, wifi, and battery percentage out of mine, personally, but you don’t have to crop them if it’s not important to you!

7. Delete!

I always delete the conversation once i’m done with that particular prompt, so as to not confuse myself when i’m making a new one!

8. Format the post!

Once i have 8-10 really good ones, i set up my format on tumblr and upload the pictures. Make sure the conversations are in the right order and then do your tags and stuff and you’re done!

The process can be tedious, but its not super complicated! Have fun making texts!!

[side-b-support-squad]

I often see people online say that side b Catholics shouldn't identify with our sexuality (either by saying we're side b or by saying we're gay, bi, etc.) because our only Identity is in Christ, which is true partially. But what's also true is that we all have lowercase i identities, descriptors for ourselves so people know more about who they're talking to and why they may be talking about certain things above others. On tumblr alone I've seen these same people describe themselves as vegan Catholics, conservative Catholics, tradcats, Roman Catholics, Chaldean Catholics, and a bunch more. These are all lowercase i identities. They're a quick way to define who you are and where you stand on most issues that cut out a lot of questions and help people know more about you right away. "Side b" and other lgbt labels work the same way. They are identifiers, but they are not our uppercase I Identity, which is in Christ. They don't define us in the way that our uppercase I Identity does and they're not as important, but they still matter and they're still helpful

Consider this. Someone tells you "yeah I don't eat meat, I don't think it's healthy for me and I prefer to treat humans and animals the same because we're all God's creation". You ask them why, and they reply with "I'm Catholic". See how that can be confusing? It's almost like that missing lowercase i identity is important and gives context to their beliefs

It's the same way with side b Catholics. If you ask someone why they're choosing to remain celibate even though they want a family and all they reply with is "I'm Catholic so this is the best option for me", thats really confusing. But if they were instead to respond with "I'm a gay Catholic so this is the best option for me" that explains why they believe what they believe and doesn't lead to confusion. So you see, lowercase identities and our uppercase Identity are both important. It's okay to use identifiers, especially if you find yourself in a conversation where they're helpful

[louiisaa]

i love having two different conversations in the same chat but ones in lowercase and ones in uppercase to differentiate them

[sopeacecheesecake]

The original post I made, reblogging Lily, and got blocked :D

Lily, you are so sweet to think I would waste any time from my own day to write an ask/opinion to you in this length. Why bother when you will only used it to twist the non-existing, one sided "conversation" you enjoy having on you blog sooo much? Not everyone is so fucking dumb to scream into the void and wait for an answer, you know?

Since the wording is nearly the same, the biggest difference being the uppercase/lowercase regarding a few words (and the poor rewrite at the beginning) I have two theories about what could have happened:

1) You copy and pasted my original anonymous ask that I send to @confused-rat for an other blog of mine (and they posted on jan. 27) and only changed a few things (but were too lazy to properly rephrase it, a silly move Lils, as someone with a degree, you should know how to do that properly).

2) One of your fans send it to you (to ask what you think? to get a reaction from you? hell knows only) and you want to play around with your strawman again, claiming the original writer or the text send it to you.

Why didn't you include the whole text, Lils? The link is here, but to make it as easy as possible:

Now to have a look at what you are you supposedly "got":

To point out how similar this is to the original ask I send to Rat (exact parts italicized and coloured)

"So, as a semi-professional bed-sharer and a sibling (a twin, even)... Lily, it is fucking weird that you make a married woman share the bed with her sister-in-law, when I suppose (what'-her-name was living somewhere before they got married) it wouldn't be necessary if they were not so fucking codependent on each other."

Lils, you can do better than this! You claim to be a professional writer, yet you don't have the creativity to properly paraphrase/re-write something? Come on!

"I have a fiancé now, and I would never bring up the idea of me, him and my twin sister sharing our bed if it wasn't the end of the world, where is no free couch/futon left - it would just feel... icky, and hella strange."

I don't like random uppercase letters in sentences - I understand they are there to give emphasis, but you could have at least change "hella" to something else (and also properly rewrite the text, again.)

"Especially, since in her story, this bed-sharing doesn't seem like a temporary thing. I don't want to be gross, or be to "sex-focused" but, when you marry someone, don't you want to be alone with them? Not just for sex, but cuddling together while watching a move, or maybe just making out in the morning - there is no way that would be healthy for a newly wed couple to never be alone in their most intimate space."

Lils, get more creative with the rewriting! At least out it in ChatGPT and tell it to "write a similar text" or something, because you nearly took all of the original text, and lazily changed a few things (in a academic setting, this would be called plagiarism, hon. At least try to put as much effort in your rewrote self-asks as I drunk uni student does with their essay.)

And to address the wildly personal "jabs" about me: I will not. I'm a anonymous blog, Lils. A stranger to you. To claim I have incestuous thoughts about my own sister, over something I wrote to a different person about a writing of yours, is just wild. Again, I'm not stupid enough to scream in the void, thinking I can get something through that thick head of yours - I was chating with a different person about a story you voluntary put on the internet to be read and thought about. I never once claimed, it has to apply to my own taste. I send an anonymous ask to Rat about the bed-sharing depicted in your story (mentioning my own personal experience of the topic as well) and how odd I found the reasons behind it in the story.

I not once stated anything personal about you, yet your answer back to the half-baked and plagiarized text, is to insult me and claim I must be projecting and being a whiny cunt.

Why don't you argue against my real points, mentioned in the original ask, and stop with the name calling, Lils?

"I don't know why my silly little fluff stories bother you so much. I don't know why it gets so deep under your fucking sin. Furthermore, I don't care. Sort that out in therapy."

It did not bother me, Lils. I did never wrote a bashing anon ask to you about your writing - I like to think that I have spend enough time on the internet to know the basics of online story reading and the etiquette about it. I would never go up to a upcoming author and spit something like this in their face. I was talking to a different blog about a story. This is all what happened.

Have some green tea, stop fuckin plagiarizing, take a few deep breaths and "sort that out in therapy".

With love,

Anon.

83. Who hates small talk and would rather have deep conversations?

Suuuunil ;). I mean, it's not that he hates small talk all of the time, but he is deep and so retrospective, philosophical debates are his stuff! You know, meaning of life, what happens after death, is worrying about all those small stuff really worth it in the grand sheme of things, etc. So he doesn't hate small talk per se, plus he's not always in the right mindset to talk about all those scary topics, he knows they will cause him anxiety and maybe even change his point of view when he doesn't wish for that at the moment, but like... there's also so many times in a day he can talk with Vin about "Why do people say to workout to be in shape? I mean, circle is a shape too."

103. Who uses uppercase while texting and who uses lowercase?

Does this uh, count like in general or what, I'm confused. Anyyyway, I'll try to explain. So like, the answer here is in how I write my lps chat fic cause I try to be consisten with everyone's typing style - Vinnie usually uses lowercase because since he doesn't really care about spelling or punctuation he doesn't think too much when to use that, even at the beginning of sentences. Buuut he can use uppercase if he's either angry/surprised or just wants to draw attention, like "WHAT??" or "WTF".

Sunil mostly just writes normally and correctly, but not as much as Russell. He can use uppercase in similar situations like Vinnie but he doesn't really, so I guess that mean he uses lowercase mostly?

[counterpunches]

Punches, I know this is completely out of the blue, but I know you're a lowercase "l" librarian and an uppercase "A" Archivist so I wanted to toss a question your way.

I had a conversation with someone who claimed that the Oxford Dictionary was, essentially, not a good resource for accurately defining current slang. This came up because I Google'd the definition of a term, the result of which this person didn't find accurate. I acquiesced that maybe it wasn't perfect since language can and does move faster than documentation, but that it was still completely fair to cite. This person utterly snubbed such reasoning, saying to cite Urban Dictionary instead.

I know Urban Dictionary just fine, and agree it's a decent resource for quickly emerging and very new slang, but the complete toss out the window of Oxford really threw me for a loop. Any thoughts what resources might be best in this day and age for defining words - classic dictionary or crowd sourced? Also, when I say "cite" I'm not talking about any kind of academic paperwork, I mean in a typical "oh hey what does that word mean again?" kind of way.

Also I promise I'm not some word snob, I've just never heard anyone discard the dictionary so casually and confidently before. Oxford or otherwise.

Totally fine to answer publicly or privately btw

Oh man this is an excellent question and such a fun one to get!

You're correct in identifying me as lowercase 'l' librarian, so please take my response with a book of salt.

However! As an Archivist, I can speak to the topic at hand and say you're correct in that language evolves and changes faster than documentation. There's a concept in archives I always blank on (something doctrine? literary merit?) which basically proposes that certain terms have to come from the outside organically at which point the Library of Congress documents the change with an official subject category. Ground-up instead of top-down.

In many ways this strikes me as a similar situation with slang terms. There's no way the OED can keep up, the way the system works and is built just doesn't account for that. There are rules about how/when a word can be officially added and there are good reasons for that. That said, other resources have popped up, namely Urban Dictionary and others. But also Urban Dictionary isn't always the most reliable having multiple definitions that sometimes counter each other and don't necessarily have reliable sources given its crowdsourced nature.

Often I've found Merriam-Webster online to have some slang terms. It seems like a good middle ground between the the OED and UD. Tossing out the OED entirely seems silly to me, especially since language can be very cyclical and often the etymology of a word can come into contemporary play and the OED is very good at word history. ('Got the morbs' for example, becoming popular again ironically (not ironically?) in the post-everything era.)

As with most things, having multiple sources is usually a good idea anyway so tell your friend to get off their high-brow (low-brow?) horse and that the OED is still perfectly fine to reference, even for slang.

Transcription under the cut

Panel 1: [Blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: STEADY PROGRESS AT A RAPID RATE. THEY CAN SPEAK IN SENTENCES NOW.

Panel 2: [Subjects 1 and 2 are sitting next to each other, enjoying the company]

Gaster’s Notes: SUBJECT 1 IS QUIET AND SOFTSPOKEN… A LOWERCASER, I’M SURE, WITHOUT MUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND TAKEN TO MUMBLING.

Gaster’s Notes: 2, HOWEVER, IS MORE CONFIDENT AND CLEAR– UPPERCASE, LIKE MYSELF. A VOICE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION.

Panel 3: [Gaster’s written notes, in Wing Dings. Translated, they say: 1- LOWERCASE COMIC SANS and 2- UPPERCASE PAPYRUS]

Gaster’s Notes: IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THEIR FONTS ARE. I DID NOT NOTICE, AND IT DOES NOT MATTER.

Gaster’s Notes: THEY CRY AND CARRY ON WHENEVER I HAVE TO SEPARATE THEM, BUT I CANNOT RISK LEAVING THEM ALONE UNSUPERVISED UNTIL SUBJECT 2 CAN UNDERSTAND 1’S CONDITION.

Panel 4: [Subject 2 looks curious and hesitant.]

Subject 2: WHAT’S THAT MEAN?

Gaster: It means that if you hurt Subject 1 even by accident, he will die.

Subject 2: WHAT’S “DIE”?

Panel 5: [Gaster speaks] 

Gaster: It means he will turn to dust, and you will never see him again.

 [As Gaster tells Subject 2 what it means, Subject 2 tears up and begins shaking in anxiety.]

Gaster: Stop crying, I’m talking to you.

Gaster’s Notes: SINCE THEN, 2 HAS BEEN VERY CAREFUL.

Panel 6: [Blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: SINCE I MOVED THEM INTO THE SAME ROOM, THEY ARE MUCH QUIETER AND EASIER TO WORK WITH. THEY CHATTER CONSTANTLY.

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: WHENEVER I GO SEE THEM, THEY ARE HOLDING OR TOUCHING EACH OTHER. THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR PHYSICAL CONTACT… AT LEAST THEY WON’T ASK IT FROM ME.

Panel 7: [Two sleepy skellies. They’ve fallen asleep sitting up and holding each other]

Gaster’s Notes: THEY EVEN SLEEP LIKE THAT. IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IT’D BE COMFORTABLE.

Panel 8: [We zoom in on their chests, where you can see their SOULs through their thin hospital gowns. Subject 1’s is about half the size of Subject 2’s.]

Gaster’s Notes: SOMETIMES THEIR SOULS GLOW IN UNISON… I BELIEVE IT IS WHEN THEY ARE DREAMING.

Panel 9: [blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: THEY ARE VORACIOUS EATERS. GIVEN THEIR RAPID DEVELOPMENT, IT MAKES SENSE.

Panel 10: [Subjects 1 and 2 are splitting a ?????. They look slightly confused but are clearly eager to share.]

Gaster’s Notes: OUT OF CURIOSITY, I GAVE THEM HALF A PORTION ONE NIGHT TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO. THEY SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE. I SUSPECT GIVEN ONLY A CRUMB, THEY’D FIND A WAY TO SHARE IT. I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY LEARNED TO BE SO SELFLESS WITH EACH OTHER. IT’S NOT A TRAIT I’D THINK WOULD BE INBORN.

Panel 11: [blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: I GAVE THEM ONE PILLOW TO SEE WHO’D ASSERT DOMINANCE AND CLAIM IT FOR THEIR OWN.

Panel 12: [Subjects 1 and 2 are covered in pillow stuffing.]

Gaster’s Notes: WHEN I CHECKED ON THEM, THEY’D TORN IT UP AND WERE PLAYING WITH THE STUFFING.

Panel 13: [Blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: THEYNEVER STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS. AT LEAST THEIR VOCABULARY IS GROWING.

Panel 14: [The panel is nothing but their questions. For simplicity’s sake, I have condensed their questions into one line each.]

Subject 1: what is… disappointing? alternating current? marrow? laser? 

Subject 2: WHAT IS… SPECIMEN? ELECTRICITY? CALCIUM? FORBIDDEN?

Panel 15: [Gaster is working with the drill, while the subjects are embracing each other behind him.]

Gaster’s Notes: I DID MAKE AN ANNOYING ERROR ONCE WHILE I WAS DISTRACTED.

Panel 16: [The subjects continue embracing; Subject 1 is in Subject 2’s lap.]

Subject 2: WHAT IS HE? WHAT ARE WE? IS HE…ME? AM i HIM?

Gaster: No, you are not the same person.

Subject 2: THEN WHAT ARE WE?

Panel 17: [Gaster is barely paying attention to the conversation, he’s still working with his tools]

Gaster: You are things. Though I suppose technically one could say you were brothers-

Panel 18: [Subjects 1 and 2 are looking at each other through a new lens]

Subject 1: brothers? he’s my brother?

Subject 2: ARE YOU OUR BROTHER TOO?

Gaster: I made you both.

Subject 2: BUT… WHAT ARE YOU? ARE YOU US? WHAT ARE YOU TO US?

Gaster: Quiet.

Panel 19: [Blank panel]

Gaster’s Notes: THEY UNFORTUNATELY LATCHED ONTO THE WORD. BROTHER THIS, BROTHER THAT. PERHAPS THEY’LL GROW OUT OF IT. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL WITH MY WORDING. THINGS CANNOT BE BROTHERS.

Panel 20: [Subjects 1 and 2 are sitting at a table with a few papers in front of them. They appear to be simple worksheets. Subject 1 encourages 2, who appears to be struggling.]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: THEY ARE STARTING TO READ.

Gaster’s Notes: I’M BEING CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I GIVE THEM… I DON’T WANT THEM GETTING IDEAS ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

SUBJECT 1 IS A FAST LEARNER… 2 LESS SO. HE STRUGGLES WITH READING, AND MY HOPE IS THAT HE INHERITED MY IT’S A PHYSICAL PROBLEM WITH HIS EYES AND NOT A MENTAL ONE. BAD EYES CAN BE FIXED. EVEN WITH 1’S HELP HE HAS DIFFICULTY.

Panel 21: [Subject 2 is proudly handing Gaster a sheet of paper.]

Gaster’s Notes: HE INTERPRETS EVEN THE CLEAREST DIRECTIONS IN STRANGE WAYS.

Panel 22: [It’s a worksheet written in WingDings. The question, translated, reads “A SKELETON HAS MANY BONES. WRITE THE NAME OF AT LEAST FIVE BONES.” Underneath child’s stick drawing. Gaster is in the center with Subject 1 on his left and subject 2 on his right. They’re all smiling and happy.]

Gaster’s Notes: HE SEEMS INTENT ON SABOTAGING HIMSELF AT EVERY TURN.

Panel 23: [Gaster seems to be leading Subject 1 to a different room. Subject 1 has a bit of a smug look on his face.]

Gaster’s Notes: 1, AT LEAST, SEEMS VERY CLEVER. 

Subject 1: why don’t we ever see anyone else down here? are we a secret or somethin?

Gaster’s Notes: PERHAPS TOO MUCH SO FOR HIS OWN GOOD AT TIMES.

Panel 24: [Subjects 1 and 2 are smiling in delight at Gaster]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: THEY SMILE WHEN I COME TO SEE THEM… THEY ASK ME WHAT I DO OUTSIDE. THEY ASK ME IF THEY CAN GO OUTSIDE.

Panel 25-26: [Subject 2 attempts to hold Gaster’s hand.]

Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX:

Panel 27: [Gaster pulls his hand away harshly.]

Gaster’s Notes: SUBJECT 2 TRIED TO HOLD MY HAND.

Panel 28: [blank panel] Gaster’s Notes: ENTRY NUMBER XXX: I’VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.

[Previous] [At the same time] [Next]

Ominous.

The uppercase/lowercase/font mention in the beginning is related to an idea me and Seagoon were batting around about skeletons having a sort of magical synesthesia that lets them “see” the font people speak in. “Without much attention to detail” means Sans drops letters and sometimes punctuation. Gaster does indeed speak in caps if entry seventeen in the game is any indication! I subtitle his speech in propercase though to make it a midpoint between the brothers, but the wingdings behind it are always in caps.

Gaster hasn’t seriously hurt either of them yet at this point. They have no idea what’s coming.

I couldn’t really think of a way to subtitle wingdings when they’re written on paper without it looking confusing, so the two bits read: “1 - LOWERCASE COMIC SANS 2 - UPPERCASE PAPYRUS” and “A SKELETON HAS MANY BONES. WRITE THE NAME OF AT LEAST FIVE BONES.”
