NS characters and undertale/deltarune songs I associate with them

Hi welcome to brainrot: I completed this in about 5 hours? Maybe longer? but anyway, let's get on with the show

Sebastian Fen

‘Wrong Enemy!?’: this one is silly and mischievous sounding, and Seb is always getting up to some sort of mischief

‘Flashback’: Those weird tapes he keeps receiving from his days at Harmony

‘Memory’: Now this has been my favourite piece from this game series since I heard it for the first time, it just evokes this sad nostalgia for what once was, the memories of what came before, of a happier time, even if it was plagued by underlying sadness, so for me this represents Sebastian’s memories of Harmony, which were sad and stressful, but he had hope, he had caring friends, he had a chance at a decent future

‘Run!’: This guy is always getting himself into trouble, no matter what, getting involved with shady people, getting himself arrested, etc.

Angelo Volta

‘Heartache’: Now this is a little bit of an odd one, because from just looking at Angelo, you wouldn’t associate him with this at all, but the reason I’m giving him this specifically because of the trauma flashback in 1.12, because in the game, this plays when you have to fight someone you see as family to “prove yourself”, it’s all very tragic, perfect for our Angel

‘Small Shock’: When he fell in love with Sebastian lmao jk, actually when he shook Seb’s hand and could suddenly feel (which is arguably when he fell for Seb so my first statement is right)

‘MEGALOVANIA’: You know when he was fighting in 1.12? Yeah, play this in the background of that scene and tell me it doesn’t fit, the whole underlying anger from grief and loss, also Angelo seems to have a strong sense of justice and can be very judgemental

‘My Castle Town’: This is kind of how Angelo feels about Augur, it is mighty, it is powerful, but it’s not fully satisfying to him, he’s not fulfilled, he wants more from life, not particularly more power, but something new

Quin Sterling

‘Rouxls Kaard’: the vibes are immaculate, perfect for Quin giving off the vibe of stuck up and snobbish despite being anything but

‘Attack Of The Killer Queen’: If Quin was going to have epic battle music, it would be this

‘Ruins’: It’s sophisticated while still being simple, so I think Quin would vibe to this

‘Alphys’: Man’s a dork and a nerd once you get past the external layer of social awkwardness, so Alphys' theme suits him well

RogueWolfe

‘Your Best Friend’: He’s here to help Seb! Of course you can trust anything he says! It’s not like he might have another motive for wanting to bring down Augur! Absolutely not!

‘Here We Are’: The melody is broken and chaotic, slightly like Wolfe, with us finding out that he’s actually the one helping HUNTER’s production

Lea Parrish

‘Fields of Hopes and Dreams’: It’s a happy song, and Lea always seems to be an optimist, seeing the best in many situations

‘Metal Crusher’: It’s a good balance of intimidation and fun that suits our beloved ALPHA well

‘Spear Of Justice’: Look, if Lea was going to be any Undertale character, it would be Undyne, they’re very similar, optimistic heroes of the city who just want to protect, but still enjoy a little bit of fun in their down time (also gay)

Adair North

‘You Can Always Come Home’: North just has this lovely safe vibe, and Sebastian constantly goes to them for support when he’s upset

‘Hip Shop’: The vibes!!! They fit so well, I can just imagine them walking home with it playing in their headphones or while they’re making coffee on a quiet shift

‘Girl Next Door’: Super light and bubbly, almost spacey, much like North’s general attitude

‘Tem Shop’: because it’s funny to imagine walking into Night Shift to be greeted by North with this music in the background (“tem go to colleg and make u prouds!!!”)

‘Dog Song’: Much like tem shop, it’s just silly and fun, a bit goofy, much like North

Diego Alvarez

‘Fallen Down’: In the game, it plays when interacting with a character who has lost someone they love, but is pushing on with hope that things will get better, much like how Diego never stopped looking for his sister

‘Respite’: It’s sad

‘An Ending’: He’s found his sister, but it’s not how he thought it would be, there are still questions unanswered, and they may never be answered with Vanessa in her current state, but there is hope for justice, for a better ending than her having no memory of even before

‘Reunited’: It’s just perfect for him and Vanessa, he got reunited with his sister after thinking he had truly lost her forever

Vanessa Alvarez

‘Lost Girl’: How could I not give this to her with a title like that, it also fits regardless, forlorn and sad, she was lost physically before, now she’s lost mentally, with no memory of who she was before

‘Darkness Falls’: Sad and dark yet slightly hopeful, much like how she was before she disappeared, and now that she’s been found, she can potentially heal from whatever has happened to her and get that happy ending she wanted before it all happened

Styx

‘Dummy!’: the character it’s associated with in the game is a ghost possessing a mannequin who is constantly angry, calling people names and throwing knives at people, need I say more?

‘Rude Buster’: Upbeat and made for fighting while still having darker notes, also it just gives off styx vibes

‘Spookwave’: He’s a spooky weird little guy!

‘She’s Playing Piano’: Ever heard someone angrily play piano? No? Now you have

Oliva Lark

‘Empty Town’: Just an underlying sadness, the feeling of wanting to return to how things once were, even if it wasn’t a particularly good time, but you had people around who cared about you as a person, not just superficial things, or no one caring at all

‘It’s Raining Somewhere Else’: The rain, the piano in the beginning, the distant and muffled sound of people talking, it’s reminding me of when she first showed up in the shop looking for Sebastian

‘A Simple Diversion’: It’s suggested that she’s been lying to Seb to divert him away from certain things, no motive known at the moment though

Joey Finch

‘Before The Story’: Everything we know about Joey is from the past tense, other than the fact that he is likely haunting Seb, it’s got a sad piano sound, along with notes from the main theme of the game, as Joey’s soul is perhaps tied down to Sebastian even after death

‘Ghost Fight’: y’know, because he’s dead

‘So Cold’: y’know, because he’s dead

Dagger

‘Spider Dance’: the song has a teasing, chaotic nature, upbeat but for one of the later and more difficult bosses of the game, matching the underlying threatening nature Dagger always has about her

‘Death By Glamour’: She’s very dramatic and playful with how she’ll kill you, because if she’s going to kill you, why not add a little fun and glamour?

Jenny Holt

‘Enemy Approaching’: Jenny is not an enemy, but she does have this upbeat sense of justice which I feel like the song embodies

‘Live Report’: She’s a reporter, I just had to give her one of the report themes

Cam Archer

‘Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap’: No reason in particular, just feels right

‘Fallen Down (Reprise)’: It’s matching with Diego, as they’re helping him on his quest to find his sister, motivated by their own mother’s disappearance, but this one is a little more hopeful, a bit more optimistic, matching Cam’s vibes of wanting to help out because it’s the right thing to do in their eyes

‘Don’t Give Up’: Cam is constantly helping others, healing and aiding whenever they can, if they really are a valkyrie like some have been theorising, this is a perfect theme for them

‘Don’t Forget’: The only song with proper lyrics, a reassurance that you are safe despite all the chaos and self-doubt, there is hope

Aesir

‘Deal Gone Wrong’: Do I need to explain this? Look at the title, the whole thing Sebastian was doing with Aesir was a deal which went very wrong, nearly killing him and now getting him mixed up with Fenrir

‘THE HOLY’: They named themselves after a pantheon of gods, of course they think they’re better than everyone else

‘Elegant Entrance’: Party of rich assholes, they’re gonna have dramatic entrances if they can

‘Queen’: Freja supposedly runs the thing, we can assume she’s the queen of it all

The Veil

‘The Barrier’: something about how ominous and mildly threatening it sounds, also how it sounds slightly like pained breathing just calls me to give this to the Veil itself, because I’m 99% sure that thing is holding the souls of all the innocent people it’s eaten

‘Waterfall’: Also slightly threatening despite being in one of the most visually beautiful areas of the game, Sebastian tells us that if the Veil wasn’t so dangerous everyone would be outside watching it go about in the sky

‘Basement’: Sounds both evil and ethereal somehow

‘Another Medium’: Again, evil and ethereal at the same time somehow

‘Amalgam’: This more suits the Veil-Touched specifically, becoming amalgams of what they once were due to the veil’s volatile nature

‘But The Earth Refused To Die’: With a title like that, it’s obvious why I give it to the Veil

‘ANOTHER HIM’: This plays at the start of the second game in the series, the beginning of creation, the Veil creates new magic users in the form of VTs, but also takes away what it pleases, completely uncontrollable (or is it)

Augur

‘Spamton’: this is one of the few songs with spoken words, “now’s your chance to be a big shot”, if that’s not Augur and the ALPHA program, I don’t know what is

‘Chill Jailbreak Alarm to Study and Relax to’: They would totally make this

‘WELCOME TO THE CITY’: Augur is everywhere in Echor, there whole base of operations there, they’re going to be the thing that greets you

‘NOW’S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A’: Yes I am just giving Augur all of Spamton’s songs that I like you cannot stop me

‘CORE’: Just fits with the whole “technology filling the gap left by the magic disappearing” thing

‘Thundersnail’: When you have to speedrun your paperwork idk I’m not an adult with an office job working in fantasy world Amazon

‘Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didnt Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything’: The capitalism vibe of MTT resort matches with the capitalism vibe of Augur

Night Shift Coffee

‘Shop’: It’s cozy, it’s warm, it’s comforting, it’s like a nice warm mug of coffee with people you like

‘Sound Studio’: Happy vibes, joyful, upbeat

‘A Town Called Hometown’: More cozy safe vibes, Night Shift at christmas, bells, snow outside, hot coffee and hot chocolates with mint and cream

Raphael Volta

‘When I Get Happy I Dance Like This’: I have no idea, it just fits for some reason?

‘It’s Showtime!’: Again, just fits, no particular reasoning with this one

Ava Cross

‘You Idiot’: This plays right before you enter possibly the hardest battle you will always face no matter what you do in the game, right before you die and are brought back only to be killed again and again, I know Seb nor Angelo died in their encounter with her, but they came real close

‘The Dark Truth’: Ava can know your deepest fear with just a few words, the most hidden trauma, if that’s not a dark truth, what is?

‘Your Best Nightmare’: She literally makes you hallucinate your worst fears, your best nightmares so to say, feeling them like they’re actually happening even if they’re not real or long since passed

‘The Power of NEO’: She literally describes herself as “something new”, and her power nearly gets both Seb and Angelo killed

Seraphina Volta

‘Battle Against A True Hero’: There’s a feeling of sadness and despair, but nonetheless fighting for what’s right that comes with this, which I feel like would be the vibes if she had to fight Angelo when it was revealed she’s mixed up with Aesir and the production of HUNTER, not wanting to fight Angelo, her younger brother, but being forced to due to the situation

‘Scarlet Forest’: The strings suit her vibes, just slightly condescending, a bit mysterious, while still elegant

Gideon Volta

‘Vs. Susie’: I hate this man so much I wanna fight him so bad

‘I’m Very Bad’: Because he is and I hate him

#I think I might be losing my mind?#this is not normal person behavior #however I am autistic #so #fuck it we ball #night shift podcast #night shift audio drama #night shift pod #characters as undertale songs #anyway I'm gonna go work on LRPD now #that should hopefully be out later

no, but really, we need to talk about the casual objectification that has become the fallback discourse of the internet: if you're pretty and dressed nicely, you're a slut. and if you're even vaguely outside of their body standard, you're fucking disgusting.

too-frequently, people position sex workers as being "the problem". they sneer you're addicted to pornography, you don't know what a real woman looks like. but real women are in pornography. the real bodies on display are not the issue here: the issue is that other people feel extremely confident when commenting on someone's physique.

2000's super-thin is slowly worming its way back into the public ideal. recently i saw someone get told to "go for a run", despite the fact she was on the thinner side of average. not that it would ever be appropriate to say that: but it's kind of like sticker shock when you see it. people think that is fat? holy shit. do they just have no idea about things?

but what are you going to do about it? that's the problem, right. because chances are - you're a normal person. we can say normalize carrying fat on your body, but we are not the billion-dollar diet industry. we are not the billion-dollar fashion industry. we are just, like. people. who are trying to make content on the internet, without being treated shittily.

as someone who has been on both sides of things: you are treated better when you are thin and pretty. this is statistically correct. i am not saying that you cannot be bullied for being thin; i'm saying there are objective institutional biases against certain bodytypes. there are videos of men and women who lost weight all saying: i now know for a fact exactly how much worse you're treated. in the comments, some asshole inevitably says something akin to you deserved to be dehumanized when you were fat.

which means that ... the easiest thing to do is be pretty and thin. it is the path of least resistance, because of course it is, because any time you post a picture of yourself without a thigh gap, someone immediately comments something like you need to try a diet.

the other half is also dehumanizing though, huh, just in a different way. when i put on makeup and nice clothes, i am told i slept my way to the top as a professional. do you know how many women in STEM have told me they purposefully dress to "unimpress" because they already struggle to be taken seriously and if they're ever considered pretty - it for some reason takes away from their authority.

so they make it seem like it's your fault. you, existing in a body - it's your fault! if you didn't want shitty comments, don't have a body. they position us against each other like chess pieces; vying for male attention we don't even need.

and i can be an authority on this unless you think i'm fat and unattractive. when i am pretty and thin, i'm an activist. when i am just a normal person who makes a good point: i am immediately dismissed. nobody fucking believes you if you're not seen as attractive. you literally lose value. you cease to exist.

but the whole time, it feels like - is anyone actually grounded the fuck in reality? the line of "pretty and thin" keeps shifting. nobody seems to understand what "a normal weight" even looks like, because it's not something that exists - you cannot tell a person's health by looking at their body. even if you think you could tell that, even if you're sure a person is dangerously overweight - people are not your dolls. they do not need to be dressed up or displayed properly to soothe your aesthetics. you aren't concerned for them, you're stealing their agency. you don't get to say if they're "allowed" to take pictures and post them on the internet - you don't get to tell them how to exist.

people hide behind "the obesity epidemic" without any actual qualifications. they crow things about "normalizing unhealthiness".

but it's bullshit. i have visible abs. there is a pair of parallel lines on my body, even when i'm relaxed; where my obliques meet my abdominal wall. i am proud of this because it means i'm strong, because i overcame an eating disorder only to be ripped as fuck. it is genetic and physical luck that i even get any definition, i'm pleased as punch.

but it does mean that my abdominal wall sticks out a little bit. the other day i posted a video of myself dancing, and, for a moment, my shirt slipped. you could see a little bit of my stomach. i was cartwheeling to the floor. moments before this, i'd had my foot over my head.

a guy slid into my DMs. a row of vomiting emojis prefaced: you should really lose some weight before you think about dancing.

i stared at it for a long time. there was a time when i would have been triggered by this, where it would have encouraged me to starve myself. i would have ignored the fact i'm flexible, agile, good at jumping: i would have lost the weight for a stranger's passing comment. i would have found myself and my body fucking disgusting.

and for what? to please what? because why? so that he can exist in this world without an unchallenged eyeball? what would my self-hatred even accomplish? usually i write paragraphs. obviously. on this particular occasion, in this body i've been at war with for ages: i just felt exhausted.

it shouldn't be even worth saying. it shouldn't be hard to explain. all of this emotional turmoil when he cannot even comprehend the most basic truth: i am not an object on display for him.

#spilled ink #writeblr #warm up #like if im getting fatshamed. babe......... wake up #is there fat on my body? yes :)#btw this behavior wouldn't be okay even if I WAS overweight!!! that is my point!!!#it is both that people have no idea what weight is supposed to look like #and even if they DID... they do not seem to understand that PEOPLE ARE NOT DOLLS #YOU DO NOT GET TO TELL THEM HOW TO EXIST #if you respond anything akin to ''but raquel there IS an obesity epidemic''#you're blocked and reported.#go fucking DONATE TO A FOOD BANK THEN. volunteer in a food desert. start a free fitness program #GO GET A DEGREE AS A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND PRACTICE IN NUTRITION IN UNDERPRIVILEDGED LOCATIONS #FIGURE OUT HOW TO LOWER FOOD COSTS. FIGURE OUT HOW TO NORMALIZE AND STANDARDIZE #ACCESS TO FARM-FRESH FOOD. PROVIDE ACTUAL FREE ACCESS TO OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES #FIGURE OUT HOW TO TEACH PEOPLE HEALTHY CHOICE MAKING WHILE ALSO LOWERING THE COST OF MEALS.#THE AVERAGE GROCERY BILL OF THE AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS QUADRUPILED IN THE LAST YEAR.#SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!!!!!!!!!#you don't want to help these people!!!!!#you want to bully them but still feel like a good person!#you want to be justified in your hatred of an entire CLASS of people!!!#you don't give a fuck about how it makes them feel!!!!#you care ONLY about whether or not YOU get to VIRTUE SIGNAL that YOURE so thin and pretty!!!!#it is BECAUSE of people like you #and the fact you tolerate fatphobia - BECAUSE of that normalization. that men like the one who called me fat #feel like they can get away with it.#bc there's a line for you where you WOULD be okay with it. where if i WASNT thin you'd be okay with it.#which means the line can always be pushed in a certain direction. and it's always going to appeal to male aesthetics.#''well you didn't deserve it'' maybe fucking NOBODY does babe. maybe we should just all agree not to comment on ppls bodies!!
