Well, Undyne made a breakthrough alright… just not in what she was actually trying to do :”D So much for hugging it into submission… but Undyne can take a hit, and she’s not about to give up!

It’s been both fun and frustrating drawing all these action scenes–can you believe this act is coming to a close? But a lot has to happen yet before this chapter is over–stay tuned, and thanks for reading! ^^

I’ve got things to do this evening so this update is up a little early–but I”m sure no one will complain! The skirmish continues–but maybe Undyne can make a breakthrough?

Asgore’s hanging in there, but he still could use a little backup–and Undyne is happy to step in and defend him, even though she knows his attacker. Will they be able to resolve this?

Well, you’ll see ;D

Undyne certainly wasn’t expecting to see that. She’s got her work cut out for her.

Oof, I got started on these pages a little late; it can take me a little while to work out action panels, so sketching these pages has been a little trickier than usual. But there’s no shortage of action coming, so I guess I’ll have plenty of time to work on it! ^^

Unexpected Guests Chapter Six: Act Four Start!

First / Previous / Next

Undyne charges in! It’s been fun drawing her again, but also a challenge–so many action poses! And there’s plenty more to come…

What will she do?

Well, you’ll see soon enough :’D

Unexpected Guests Chapter Six: Act Three End!

First / Previous / Next

And so Act Three comes to a close! Asgore’s not going down without a fight, despite his sins… but he’d still best be careful.

Act four continues the action! Stay tuned!

reminiscing on when i went cave diving a couple years back & another dude who was in there was playing minecraft music out of his backpack so i just heard c418 slowly approaching me from within an actual cave. shoutout to that guy

some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet are blogging about blood and guts at 10 in the morning

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Well Asgore, you tried…

But the blaster has reason to judge.

And so the long-awaited action begins! There’s not much left in this act, but there’s more to come–stay tuned!

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

it really is insane how little you hear about "america has the world's highest prison population by such a significant margin that it would be seen as excessively over-the-top if it was used in fiction"

Obviously this is an adorable bit but I'm so struck by how different this is from so many little kid shows today like.......the muted colors. no background noise. no sound effects. you can literally hear Jim Henson breathing between his lines. Ernie is talking very slowly, meandering, letting the kids digest the info. it's a full minute before you get the payoff of it all. man

‘While bats can only sense the outer shapes and textures of their targets, dolphins can peer inside theirs. If a dolphin echolocates on you, it will perceive your lungs and your skeleton. It can likely sense shrapnel in war veterans and fetuses in pregnant women. It can pick out the air-filled swim bladders that allow fish, their main prey, to control their buoyancy.

It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”

This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.

Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’
