In terms of science communication and space exploration advocacy, Elon Musk has sent us back into the fucking Stone Age.

The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after ever project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

grown men will throw fits about how they face sooo much rejection and women would never get it meanwhile me and the girls who were even just like average or a lil ugly at like 12 years old were being treated like we were subhuman by peers and adults alike

What item Ralsei is theory

So, the most popular takes we've got right now are red horn headband or Asriel's fur (or dust, if you want random angst). But what if he's not tied to Asriel at all?

Ralsei is a drawing Kris made of themself as a monster. They were desperate to fit in with their family, so they drew their monstersona using green crayon and adding details of themselves to the design.

-Ch 3 between the rounds you can leave Susie to talk to Tenna alone, and you can talk to Ralsei in the meantime. If you talk about "his face", he looks away sadly, noting that he knows he "looks like someone". But Kris starts laughing at it.

-Ch 4 while hanging out with Susie in town, you can show her a photo of Asriel. She thinks it's Ralsei photoshoped into the picture and then is put off by how adamantly Kris starts pointing out the differences, even though she doesn't really care.

Ralsei looks like Asriel, because obviously siblings would look similar. That's why Kris drew their sona similar to their brother. If you want to go there, Ralsei has feminine features despite being a guy bc Kris was struggling with their gender identity at the time while drawing the sona.

Ralsei has pink horns and pink eyes. Kris has red eyes and used to wear the red horn headband to fit in with their family. Those traits would be transferred onto their sona. Red color fading into pink with time, as drawings tend to do.

Green crayon is missing bc they used it up to draw the sona a long time ago. Their sweater is green, their sona would wear green too.

(Patpro8-blog in comments added that this could be the reason why the drawer in Kris' dark world room is filled with green crayons, Ralsei wanting them to draw him again)

Also that would explain why Ralsei always walks with his hands behind his back, even in dangerous situations. You know the good old hack of not drawing hands by hiding them behind the character's back that every child uses? It's not him being nonchalant or whatever, he was just drawn that way, it's probably what feels most natural.

And he lives in the school supply closet dark world. In the next room over and in Toriel's classroom there are other drawings that very much feel like Kris-made too. It explains why Ralsei is SO attached to Kris, beyond "player is here". Kris created him, was attached to this drawing of what they'd like to be. And then things happened and the drawing was left in the closet to wither and fade. Waiting for when Kris comes back. Of course Ralsei wants to spend all the time with them now.

It's very likely Kris knows what Ralsei is, and that's why they're laughing, why they're pointing out the differences between him and Asriel. It's not supposed to be "Asriel but darkener", it's supposed to be them as the same monster type their family is.

UPDATE: I am going to make this thing into a proper video soon so i'll turn off reblogs when it comes out

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

Weewoo, new smut just dropped. I blame the discord but I also thank @the-eclectic-wonderer for the idea. Also, what the fuck this is my 85th fic on AO3?!?!?!

It's kinda impressive how Israel has wanted to do this for decades now, and this is literally the worst time in like 40 years that they could have done this.

Trump is incredibly unreliable, and has just alienated every single US ally. He's distracted by a huge and escalating internal insurrection and incredibly unpopular. Democrats will now probably rally to Israel's and Trump's side, but I dont think they have much support left among the general population.

A majority of Europeans, even in GERMANY, support an arms embargo on Israel. They have never been more isolated. I guess that's why they're doing this attack now, hoping to rally their Western allies despite all those facts.

May we see the end of Israel in our lifetimes. This possiblity is getting more real every single day. May the Iranian people be spared too much destruction by the genocidal Israelis. Death to Israel. Glory to the martyrs. Free Palestine.
