#will be very surprised if they don't go that route but I highly doubt it

[rainbowdaisy13]

I don't know why people are always so surprised by Jerklie stunting. I have always HIGHLY doubted Karlie will ever walk back the idea she had two kids with this guy. As much as that upsets a lot of people. The truth is too "out there" for the general public, and the deception adds a layer of privacy for the kids to grow up in. Let's not pretend the whole world wouldn't go batshit insane for "Taylor Swift's secret kids" and get grossly invasive, fast. There would still be interest if she became "stepmom to Karlie's kids" but a lot less of it.

If that is the route they've chosen, then we can probably expect Jerklie to stick to the unwritten rule of PR, that you wait until the baby hits a year old to announce the divorce. I think they could fudge it a little and get away with a couple of weeks before the met gala, but I'm not expecting divorce news until around that point in time, personally. I know people don't like Jerk, but Taylor and Karlie are obviously working with him, not against him, on this. There's a reason certain people came to the Eras Tour with Karlie and are hanging out with her stand-in Kayleigh now. Jerk has hinted at upcoming Taylor projects more than once too.

Maybe in 20 years the landscape will be different and Taylor can ease into the truth, but for now, I very much expect her to work with Jerk on this and keep any split narrative amicable.

personally I'm not surprised about Gilbert's behavior because he always called himself a villain. this doesn't bother me because I find him very interesting but I can totally see why he wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, that's why I think fans who plan to read his route shouldn't underestimate how evil he could act even towards the mc. of course that doesn't mean they will definitely portray him as a total monster, but it's better to keep in mind that currently this guy is out for blood.

I certainly agree with you that there are a lot of people excited for Gilbert and/or villain routes in general. I can appreciate that, I firmly believe that variety is the spice of life and not every suitor is going to appeal to everyone - that's why these games have so many options!

It's a given that as a 'villain' Gilbert will be problematic and morally questionable, I don't think anyone would go into the game or his route expecting otherwise. My only issue here is that (and this is a personal critique on media of all forms, in general, but especially media aimed at women or female adjacent spaces) I think it's quite doable to make a compelling villain that is actually a villain, without resorting to violence and abuse against women to illustrate that. We're long past the fridging women stage one would hope, and this is a complaint I have about Ikemen Prince in general often - just look at the piles of women's bodies/trauma littering these 'tragic backstories'.

If Emma wasn't a woman, would Gilbert choose to choke her? I highly doubt that, nor would he choose to physically and psychologically dominate her in other ways that are usually reserved for female targets as well. The direction that Cybird chose in that moment, alongside say...the sexual harassment perpetrated against MCs by villainous types in other games and routes, is a jarring and unwelcome reminder of the abuse women face on a daily ongoing basis in the real world, and I find it a bit disappointing.

I would prefer that sort of thing remain outside of the sphere of where I go for entertainment, especially when your characterization can be made in other more compelling ways. But that is absolutely my personal opinion alone - I am sorry to have gotten a little bit up on my soapbox with your answer Nonny.

At the end of the day, it's their story and they are free to go in whatever direction they want with it. As long as they are honest and upfront about the material contained within their products so that no one is walking in blind (which I may add the English team has absolutely done an amazing job of doing so with their content warnings recently and I applaud and support this wholeheartedly) then I agree it's on us readers what we choose to engage or not engage with - without judgement on those who make other choices.

#mrs o talks #sorry i got a bit into the weeds there #i hope nobody takes this as criticism if they like any particular character #we're all entitled to what we like and want to consume I wholeheartedly believe that #stay safe and take care of yourselves out there first and foremost #am i still bitter about Akihito yes #does it show? yes #fjfjfjdnf #literally just hold her at sword point the way you would any other threat and this is all avoided

Chapter 5

"Dorothea! I really don't think you get the importance of this date. I need to impress him!"

The brunette in question raised a perfectly manicured brow as she glanced at her other two companions. Caspar watched as Dorothea, Ferdinand, and Hubert all appeared to have a silent conversation between the three of them. 

Honestly, color me impressed, the mint haired teen thought to himself.

After what felt like forever, but was likely only a minute—maybe two, the three turned their attention back to him in unison. He was reminded for a brief moment of that one owl gif meme from forever ago but ultimately let the stray thought go as he focused on their response to his predicament.

"Well, you mentioned that he is very studious but conversely lazy as well?" Hubert asked. 

Caspar nodded.

Hubert glanced at Ferdinand who smiled at his boyfriend before looking at Caspar once more.

"Keep it simple then but put your own unique twist on a classic. For example, instead of dinner and a movie, why not take him to dinner and then to Ashe's bookshop."

Caspar could have kissed him. 

Or well, not really since he highly doubted Hubert would be on board with that and would likely actually murder him. Ferdinand also wasn't really his type for all that he was very attractive. Too high maintenance. 

Taking the safest route, Caspar made his hand into a fist and slapped it against his other palm.

"You're a genius. Or well. All three of you since I'm guessing it was a hive mind sort of decision."

Dorothea laughed, Ferdinand chuckled, and even Hubert allowed a little smirk. 

"Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all day."

—

Caspar and Linhardt had agreed that morning to meet back up at the flower shop at 7. Caspar was early but kept checking his phone anyway, worried any moment he'll get a text from the other teen, changing his mind.

"Good evening."

Caspar jumped. He was sure it had to have been at least a foot in the air, that's how badly he'd been surprised.

"Oh dear. I'm sorry, Caspar. I always forget that I'm generally quieter than your average person."

Caspar just stared at him.

"Generally quieter? Linhardt, that was like some freaking ninja kind of stuff! I swear you had to have come from the shadows or something."

Linhardt laughed deeply at that before shaking his head with what looked like an amused sort of smile. Caspar couldn't help but beam at the thought that the other was already having a good time.

"Oh, that's just silly. You're cute."

Caspar, not at all expecting—and therefore, very unready for—the flirtatious compliment, blushed a deep crimson. And to add insult to injury, he had the unfortunate thought of how much his face must have been clashing with his hair.

"Linhardt! Dude! You can't just say things like that so- so casually like that!"

Linhardt tilted his head in the way that Caspar was growing to love. 

"Why not? There isn’t a law prohibiting me from paying compliments to my date." 

The grin on his lips was playful, but all the shorter male could think about was kissing them.

Caspar groaned. "Because you're making it really hard for me to not want to kiss you."

Linhardt blushed. It was light, almost faint, but it was there. He smiled though and moved in closer. 

Linhardt was quite a bit taller than him, but in that moment, it felt like he towered over the mint haired teen.

"Then stop trying and kiss me already."

And it was in that moment that Caspar’s brain blue-screened.

TWST Fanfic "Her Lost Voice": Chapter 14

Inky's Links: AO3: Masterlist: Third Story Decided! (Coming Soon)

Chapter 14: Wish I Could Be

"Hi Azul...c-can we talk?"

Elise felt every nerve in her body vibrate with anticipation as Azul gently floated down to the sand and when the light made his silvery hair shine as he drew close. She was surprised her tentacles didn't braid themselves together at the sound of his voice.

"What's on your mind, Elise?" Azul's voice seemed a bit heavier than normal but the male octopus retained his usual polished smile. She laughed a bit at the question. 

"Oh well, many things. I hope you don't mind?" when Azul silently rested on his tentacles in front of her with a grin, she continued, "Azul, a lot has happened this summer and a lot is still going to happen very soon. And honestly, I'm very...very scared."

The tremor in her voice caused one of Azul's tentacles to gently wrap around hers once again. The only difference was that Azul did it on purpose this time. He didn't speak, only waited and listened patiently for her to explain. 

"I appreciate everything you, Jade, and Floyd have done for me," her smile was soft and tentative, "You three aren't nearly as scary or dubious as people make you out to be." 

Azul wasn't surprised that their reputations had proceeded them, however, one thing did puzzle him greatly, "You were right there when Jade and Floyd fended off those sharks and you can still say that? To the guy who got you tangled up in his backfired scheme, to begin with?"

Somehow this made her laugh, "Yes, without a doubt. I never want to get on your bad side for sure. But things are different down there than on the surface. Merfolk are more upfront, ready to fight for whatever or whomever they want. To do whatever it takes to get where they want to be. It is a bit terrifying, but I respect that ambition. You're not only intelligent but cunning which can cause some trouble sure," Azul felt a bit embarrassed as she playfully smirked at him," But...it is something I admire about you. You make your own way in life and don't let anyone stop you. So it's not you or them that I'm afraid of, Azul. I...I'm not sure I want to go back to being a human." 

A spark of disbelief, and maybe a bit of hope, suddenly lit up in Azul's mind, "Y-You...don't? But why? ...well aside from your horrendous sibling." 

Another soft laugh, "Siblings. I have an older brother as well. He's too busy getting ready to take the throne to really pay me any mind though. But that's the problem: he has a purpose. Even Emily. She'll probably marry some prince or lord from another king or queendom to bring more prosperity to ours. And then there's me...I've felt like an outcast every since my mother died. Everyone in my family withdrew from each other since then. And well, you saw how highly Emily thinks of me first hand. But, in spite of all the danger, I felt more wanted, more at home with the Leech Family, with Luna and Cowrie. And you and your family too."

Azul tensed momentarily as Elise unconsciously scooted closer to him. Instead of pointing it out, he merely asked, "The senior internship you had before all of this, what was it and why did you choose it specifically?" 

The princess hummed as she confronted the truth of the matter, "I didn't really choose it myself. My brother did. I went along with it because I suppose it was because it reminded me of Mother. Mother always loved the sea and its inhabitants. She advocated for finding a way to continue our export and import trades via our established trade routes but feared that our ships' fuel would only pollute the waters and harm all sea life in the long run. So I was to intern with our fleets to find a better solution...but honestly? I don't think they were going to actually let me do that much being a royal and all. They were more or less just placating me out of obligation to the crown prince."

"I suppose I shouldn't feel too bad about ruining 'your' plans then?" Azul was hiding true guilt behind a bit of sarcastic banter. Elise saw right through it and decided to play along anyway.

"Feel bad? Not at all. You did look kind of cute when I was furiously scolding you, Mr. Ashengrotto. So I feel properly vindicated," she giggled, making him nearly explode on the spot. 

"C-Cute?!" his face grew hot as he sputtered, trying to glare right into her amused face, "I am many things, MISS Coralette, but cute??"

"You're right. Handsome suits you more than cute, Azul." 

Her words slipped off her tongue faster than Elise could process them. Now it was her turn to be oh so flustered as she slid away from him, "Um I...I mean, yes that is true b-but-" 

"But what?" 

Azul was suddenly looking her right in her wide eyes with a gaze that was worlds more unwavering than he was moments before. Elise was almost convinced that he had been body snatched while she blinked but no, that was not the case. Azul felt just as nervous and uneasy as he had since he realized his budding feelings for this girl, but now he was feeling something much stronger than all that. Azul felt desperate to know the truth and it only made him weirdly courageous.  He could spin a multitude of reasons as to why Elise Coralette wouldn't desire him just as much as he did her but unlike him, she was far more honest in her words and expression. She let slip a hint of what he wanted to hear from her just now. The moment she realized it herself is when Azul saw her real feelings surface. At least what he hoped were her real, genuine feelings. Her shy, girlish blush. The way her eyes went wide only to dart away from him. This was the same sort of body language and cues she gave off whenever Rielle was brought up to her in the past. Surely it meant what he thought, what he wanted it to mean, yes? YES?

"Elise," he coaxed as gently as possible in his brewing state, "Tell me. Please." 

His stormy eyes were the most honest she had ever seen. They were frustrated and pleading as he leaned in. They were alone here. Entirely in their own little world. Knowing that and seeing him this way felt strangely sacred to Elise as she started to close the gap, feeling her whole body give in to its unspoken urges. 

"Azul...I think that..."

"Yes?"

The last thread of hesitation snapped as her turquoise eyes locked onto his deep blue steel ones. She took a breath and then a leap of faith before her nerves got the better of her.

"I think that I'm really scared of not seeing you guys all the time...of not waking up and knowing you're right here. I'm scared to become human again because then I'll be away from not only Luna and Cowrie, and the twins, but I won't be able to be with you." 

A jolt of adrenaline rushed his system as he took in her words. As eager as he had been seconds before, Azul still felt a part of his mind backhand him with doubt, "When you say 'be with you'...?" He almost looked around as if Elise was talking about someone else. The poor boy was caught between self-doubt and wanting.

She blinked in disbelief before gesturing to him with both hands, "Azul, you are the densest clever person I have ever met. Yes, I mean you specifically! I have feelings for YOU! Do I need to sing it for you?!"

For a split second, Elise was convinced she saw part of Azul's soul leave his body. The boy's eyes froze wide on his otherwise blank face and only his tentacles moved. She half expected one of them to slap him back to the present. Seconds later his soul returned and all his blood rushed to his face, "You...YOOOOU have feelings for ME? Wait what happened to your dream prince Rielle?!"

He suddenly regretted his outburst once he saw the scowl on her face, "Ehem, ok 'dream prince' might be a bit much. Forget I said anything." 

Elise crossed her arms as the scowl softened, "I know...I had a ridiculous and obviously one-sided to everyone but me crush on him for the longest time. I thought it was 'love' but...it was just bloated infatuation and wishful thinking. If I didn't feel this time was more  genuine I wouldn't have said anything." 

Azul suddenly felt like his mother was getting ready to appear and whack the ink right out of him with an arsenal of her toughest spoons, "I-If we're being honest, then...you're right, I am pretty dense. I didn't realize I had feelings for you until this summer even though I've been attracted to you since that day you waltzed into my office and struck a deal with me on your own terms." 

Elise's tentacles curled in on themselves as she felt a rush of giddiness, "Really?"

He laughed, "I mean you are beautiful. I always thought so but you had such confidence and wit about you that day. I was so accustomed to having the upper hand and you caught me off guard and charmed me and everyone else around you so easily. It was astounding. How could I not be both impressed and taken with you?"

The princess looked him up and down with all sorts of questions in her gaze, "Is it really so surprising that maybe I see you in a similar light?" 

"Oh absolutely," he deadpanned. As happy as he felt, the boy still couldn't comprehend the reality right in front of his face. No matter how far he had come, there was still part of him stuck in the overwhelming shadow of his past.

A sweet smile spread across her face as she tucked a wild strand of hair behind her own ear. Uh oh...that look only meant trouble for him. "Azul, you really have no idea how attractive you are both physically and mentally, do you?"

She scooted closer to him, closing the gap once again but even further this time to the point that her lips were just a whisper away from his. Her eyes held the baffled boy to the spot with how they sparkled. "It's ok that you don't realize it yet," she spoke so softly, "It's part of your charm. But know this, I've been in the company of many, many handsome and witty boys. Please forgive me for realizing only recently that none of them hold a candle to you, Azul Ashengrotto. That is the honest truth." 

Stardust was the only tangible thing in existence Azul could equate to how he was currently feeling. He hung on every sweet syllable that left her lips until he finally voiced the feeling that had haunted him for weeks, "I don't want you to go." 

Before he could even blink, Elise's soft lips collided with his as her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him into her embrace. His arms encircled her waist as Azul leaned into the kiss without a second thought. For the first time, his stubborn legs didn't have to propel him whatsoever. They just relaxed as the two of them melted into each other.

...and what started as a tender moment quickly turned into panic. 

A spark formed on Elise's neck before blooming into a burst of light. In seconds, her tentacles melted away into two human legs, her skin became much lighter, and her eyes dulled and widened with terror. Azul's whole body tensed at the sight of the human girl floating in front of him and couldn't move until a flurry of air bubbles rushed out of her mouth. The octopus quickly braced her into him and swam as fast as he could while yelling for help. In seconds, he and Elise were caught by teal and monochrome blurs that quickly took them back to the landing.

The room echoed with Elise's rough coughing and ragged, desperate gasps for air as Luna and Floyd lifted her from the water. Azul clung to the side, still mostly emersed in the water, staring in shock at the drenched princess. The dress she had worn before lost its vibrant color just like the rest of her.

"Elise, breathe. Keep breathing," Luna carefully steadied her friend as Floyd left to find Jade. 

Once she settled, Elise slowly sat up and stared at Azul before looking down at herself, "W-What..." 

Everything grew hazy as crystal clear tears formed in her eyes. Any voices speaking to her fell on deaf ears as she began to sob. The twins returned with towels immediately. Luna grabbed one and started to dry Elise off. All Azul could do was watch her cry as his heart sank. Her mouth opened to say his name but it was interrupted with another sob as the boy launched himself out of the water just enough to hold her and whisper over and over again to both of them.

"It's alright. You're alright...it's going to be alright."

~

Azul's office door slammed shut and locked behind him. Jade, Floyd, and Luna were left to speculate on their own in the empty Lounge. Inside the office, Azul laid Elise down on one of the sofas. Neither one of them said a word the entire time Azul had rushed her down the hallway, carrying her in his arms as if she were light as a feather. She sat sniffling as he paced about the room. He wordlessly stepped into a side bathroom and the sound of running water could be heard. She swallowed down a fresh wave of tears and called out to him in a weary voice, "Azul..." 

When he didn't answer, Elise began to worry. Doubt began to pelt her like a sudden hail storm. Now that she was human...did Azul's feelings change? Was everything different now? Too different??

"Azul," she began to sob again. Hearing her cries the boy rushed to her side and held her face. He looked so worn and so scared. 

"Are you in pain? What is it?" he asked nervously. Elise just shook her head. Ironic that now her voice was working properly all on its own now and yet here she was...absolutely speechless. Azul felt like he was going to fall apart any second now as he stood back up.

"I'll have a warm bath ready for you in just a moment," he couldn't look directly at her, "I don't want you to catch a cold. After that...you...you can sleep in my room. I'll stay in here-"

Azul felt a sudden tug on his sleeve and saw the desperation in the princess' face. More tears rolled down her cheeks as she silently begged him. She wanted him to stay. She was even more terrified now, "P-Please, Azul. Can you...can you please stay with me? I'm sorry if I repulse you now-" 

Everything clicked all too fast and he was overwhelmed, desperate to change her mind and to put an end to these thoughts. Azul sat next to her and hid his ashamed face in her damp hair, "Stop it. You don't repulse me. You could never! That's not why I'm acting like this! Everything just happened so suddenly...I-I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. Please know that I meant everything I said before. Please just give me a moment..."

~

Several long minutes later, Azul left Elise to bathe in peace and recover. He promised that he would be back very soon, that he just needed to fill the others in. When he stormed back out into the Lounge, his anger was palpable. Jade rose from his seat and began to approach his old friend, "Azul-" 

"Fine," his voice was rigid, his eyes avoided looking at any of the eels, "Everything is just fine. Elise is human again. Just as she should be....no additional steps needed." 

The twins shared a worried look as Azul began to laugh dryly to himself. It sounded awfully familiar and bitter. So familiar they feared he might Overblot all over again. The look in his eyes was barely sane.

"She loves me. She wanted to stay with me, with us, under the waves as a mermaid. A perfect happily ever after! We even kissed and that triggered her reverting back into a human princess!" he laughed wildly, "True Love's Kiss isn't a load of shit after all! Isn't that wonderful?!"

"Hey Azul," Floyd muttered anxiously, "It's not all that bad, right?" 

Azul's tone snapped straight into anger so quickly the twins thought the glass tanks would shatter, "Not all that bad, Floyd?! Oh no NO! Of course not! You and Jade found your mates, won the day, and now can be with them without any obstacles awaiting you but me? The slimy, scheming octopus that fucked all this up from the start? Seven forbid I find the perfect woman and have her return my pathetic affections! Our first kiss literally damned her right back to the shore!"

His voice was raw as his hands shook. Luna could only imagine how upset Elise was. Jade and Floyd stepped forward to try and calm the dorm leader down once again. 

"Azul...calm yourself. How are you supposed to make a proper strategy with your head full of so many pitfalls?" Jade placed a firm hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Yeah Azul, take it easy. Octi-chan loves you. Isn't that the most important part??" Floyd drawled as he casually put his hands behind his head, "You wanted to get one up on Rielle remember?"

Azul's bitter mood halted on his dumbfounded face as the twins gave him matching smug grins. He immediately straightened himself up, trying to reform even a shred of the dignity he hurled out the window just now.

"Of course I did," he huffed, "Just not...exactly...like this but..." 

"Azul-kun," Luna's melodic tone rang across the lounge from where she stayed seated, "I imagine Elise is just as upset if not more so than you. She needs you now more than ever." 

The look in the siren's eyes was genuine kindness. Azul felt it warm his core underneath the surface. She was absolutely right. He needed to get ahold of himself before anything else could be done. He sighed, suddenly feeling embarrassed at his dramatic outburst. 

"Forgive me," he pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat, "I must look like such a fool right now." 

"Eh, a little bit. Reminds me when we were kids and we had to keep pulling you out of your octopus pot," Floyd started to chuckle along with Jade before Luna appeared between them and smacked both of their arms with a pointed look. The siren hushed the brothers and approached Azul with a smile.

"Azul-kun, your frustrations are very understandable. This whole ordeal would be unbearable for a far lesser man," she gave him a supportive nuzzle against his cheek, making her mate pout, but she ignored it, "You and Elise need to rest. It's late now. I trust her in your care." 

The siren sauntered back over to Floyd and gave him a tender kiss, "We all need to rest. Let's leave the next steps for tomorrow, hmm?" 

~

The twins returned to their room and Luna to the grotto for the night. When Azul returned to his office, he found Elise clean, dry, and wearing an extra set of his pajamas as she curiously stared at the books lining the walls. She paused and placed a hand on top of the wooden box that held the enchanted dagger. Her hair was straighter, more of a dark raven color like before. Her tired eyes had faded back into their human shade of minty green. Her body language alone was enough to tell him that she felt frailer now. Azul closed the door behind him and wordlessly went up to her like a moth to a flame. She gasped as he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind as he rested his head against hers.

"I'm so sorry," he barely managed to whisper, "I'm so sorry about all of this." 

He felt her cold delicate hands touch his and her head gently lean into his. Elise barely moved at all and yet he felt like she was the only thing holding him up right now. 

"Don't be..."

~ 

By some miracle, the rest of Octavinelle remained undisturbed by the night's sudden events. Inside Azul's bedroom, Elise was snuggly wrapped in his arms as the two of them rested quietly under his blankets. Any other time, he would have felt it inappropriate to have her in his room let alone his bed but after that night, Azul couldn't stand not having her close by. For a while, neither one of them spoke. There wasn't a sound aside from their breath. Not any light aside from the soft aquatic glow from the water surrounding the dormitory itself. 

"What happens now?" Elise's quiet voice finally asked, muffled against Azul's chest.

His entire body and mind ached with heavy exhaustion as he weighed his answer carefully, "I'll find a way for you to come back home with us permanently. I don't know exactly how long it will take but I will make it happen. I promise. And..if you so desire...eventually we could...uh...well, we can talk about the far future another time." 'Become mates' is what he wanted to say but somehow it felt like too much of a request to make right then and there. He wanted it to become reality but for now, he just wanted to put her at ease as much as he could. 

He felt her shift in the darkness to look him in the eyes directly, "Thank you, Azul." 

Azul melted as he felt Elise press her lips to his again. He swore they continued to kiss again and again in the dark until they both fell asleep in each other's arms. 

~

The next morning was an immense challenge. When word got out that the Mostro Lounge wouldn't be opening that evening, the entire campus knew something was amiss in Octavinelle. With that said, no one had the guts to ask questions to the towering twin eels or the very exhausted and distracted dorm prefect. No one except a certain redhead.

"Azul...are you alright?"

From the other side of the alchemy cauldron, Riddle watched Azul vacantly stir the pot on repeat like a broken record player. Judging from their last conversation and the octopus' current state, something absolutely devastating must have happened to Azul. And Riddle wasn't too far off.

"...and now she's human again," Azul muttered quietly, still stirring.

Riddle stood frozen, processing everything he just heard, "Oooo...kay wow. That is a lot."

Yes, Azul had told him everything. Everything. Normally Riddle would have flipped his crown over the fact that a fellow dorm leader had been hiding female students in his dormitory but given the circumstances of the very, very complicated situation...Riddle made the rare choice to ignore Azul's blatant disregard of the rules. Plus this did also explain why Floyd was barely paying attention to him lately and who was he to complain?

Riddle did a quick check over his shoulder to make sure the professor wasn't too close by before whispering, "So you need a spell or potion to turn her back into a mermaid permanently. Have you ever made one  before?"

Azul sighed heavily before stirring in the next ingredient Riddle had poured in, "Unfortunately even with my thorough studies and experimentation, I have yet to succeed in making the change permanent without some sort of definitive catalyst. Like a stupid kiss." 

He had to fight to not roll his eyes at the concept of 'True Love's Kiss' yet again. If he didn't hate it before, he absolutely despised it now! When his grandmother suggested it as a possible antidote to Elise's situation, it sounded like some sugarcoated placation. His face suddenly warmed itself as he remembered their first kiss. Then the second...and the third...and the fourth with her soft form pressed into his under the blankets that still smelled like her-

"You kissed her several times didn't you?" Riddle asked with a very straight face. Azul nearly flung the giant spoon across the room in shock. Before Azul could even string two syllables together, Riddle explained with a somewhat bashful expression of his own, "I remember what it was like the first...couple of times," he cleared his throat and quickly jotted down some notes.

"...Didn't that happen inside the Mostro Lounge?"

Riddle's face turned pink, "I thought we were alone and the moment was too good to end right away, ok!?"

A sudden whipcrack and yell from Professor Crewel made the two boys jump and duck back into their assignment with laser focus. 

~

Elise quietly stared at her reflection in the water as she dipped her feet into it from the Octavinelle landing just on the other side of the Mostro Lounge. They remained unchanged, pale, and human. It was growing late in the day, Azul had told her that he wanted to look into some additional sources in the library before coming back. She began to smile when she saw a familiar black and white shape zip towards her underneath the water's surface. Only when she realized that there were two of them did her breath catch in her throat. Both Cerith sisters' heads poked out of the water as they swam up to her.

"Cowrie!" Elise tried to keep quiet just in case anyone but the twins were outside the door, "What are you doing here?" 

The younger sister laid her head affectionately against the princess' legs, "Luna told me everything." 

Luna pulled herself out of the water to sit next to Elise as she changed into her human form, "Knowing my sister, I knew she'd want to be here too." 

Elise let out a heavy sigh as her eyes grew watery, "Thank you both..." 

"I know you probably feel really out of sorts right now buuuut," Cowrie poked the princess' cheek teasingly with the tip of her tail, "You and Azuzuuuu? Ooooooo!! It's about damn time!"

Luna chuckled but still hushed her sister to be quiet. Elise's face bloomed into a glowy shade of pink as she shyly laughed and batted the tail away, "Cowrie stoooop..."

"Is he a good kisser?" Cowrie grinned mischievously up at Elise and Luna gave the poor girl a similar look.

The princess didn't bother trying to play coy and just laughed and rubbed any imposing tears from her eyes, "I love his kisses...I'm going to miss them for a while." 

A fresh wave of tears suddenly spilled over as Cowrie and Luna frowned, "What are you talking about, Ellie??"

Elise had made her decision early that morning. She had woken up before Azul and enjoyed the sight of his peaceful resting face. Before she could enjoy it too much, however, she heard her phone buzzing on the nightstand. It was her brother calling. 

Thankfully no one else was awake either and she quietly made her way down the hall into a solitary washroom before locking herself inside and answering the phone. Her brother was almost eleven years her senior and rarely took the time to speak with her or Emily. Especially not about anything casual. So when he jumped straight into his reason for calling, she wasn't surprised.

"Big Brother, hello-"

"Elise. I trust you are well," his voice was that of a man on a schedule, "I'm calling on behalf of Emily since you two seemed to have a tiff recently." 

Elise rolled her eyes on the other side of the phone. Of course, her sister would wrap the truth up in a polite little bow and label it a 'tiff', "That's one way of putting it, yes. What does she want?"

"You two have never seen eye to eye on much of anything since we lost Mother but we're hoping you can set that aside and attend her wedding. You are still family after all." 

A wedding? Already? "Emily is ENGAGED? She didn't mention any suitors the last time we saw each other." Suddenly she was even more furious at her sister for trying to sweeten up Azul right in front of her face!

"I don't see how that matters," the prince said curtly, "Father will be stepping down soon and I want to make sure everything and everyone is taken care of before my coronation. Emily happily accepted the suitor I proposed for her and that ensures another ally for our homeland." 

The rest of the information was frivolous compared to what halted Elise at once, "Is Father alright? I thought he was going to wait-"

"Elise, I don't have the time to fill you in on our family's affairs. Especially when you've wasted your time running off to who knows where and disregarded the internship I arranged just for you. Do you have any idea how this will reflect back on me when I have to explain things to your school's administration?" 

The princess felt her temper flare and burst all at once. She had had enough. Elise was nineteen years old and legally didn't have to answer to anyone but herself anymore and she'd be damned if she kept quiet any longer!

"You wouldn't have to fill me in after the fact had you kept me in the loop in the first place!" she quietly hissed, "Speaking of which! Did you even stop to think as to why I never showed up for my internship? Or did Emily omit that part? Oh let me guess! Something about me running off with my little slimy creepy eel pets? Just throwing all responsibility right out the window to splash around in the ocean all summer hmm? Well, you know what...believe what you want. I don't care anymore! I'll go to her stupid wedding. I'll say my peace to our father, MY father, and then after that? I'll find my own way in the world without the crown or your help! You can forget you ever had an embarrassment of a baby sister!" 

....her brother didn't bother calling back after she hung up on him. No messages. No calls from her sister or father. Nothing. That was that. Elise would give up the royal family name and find a new purpose for herself while Azul did his best to bring her home. To their home. 

Luna and Cowrie stared wide-eyed at their best friend as she told them the whole story, both of them absolutely speechless. Elise just sniffled and laughed bitterly. 

"There's no point in me staying here now that I'm human again," she rubbed her eyes and continued with conviction, "I won't be gone forever. I just need to go home and set things right. For sure this time. After that, well...there's no way I can graduate on time and get my mage license without some sort of additional study. I'll focus on that while Azul does his best over here. And you guys..." 

A lump formed in her throat as she looked at her two beloved eel sisters, knowing everything they had been through their entire lives and just this summer alone. Fresh tears wet her mint green eyes, "You're safe now. You'll both be safe and happy with Jade and Floyd and the Leeches. We'll see each other again, sooner or later. And then we won't ever have to say goodbye again."

Luna wrapped her arms around Elise's shoulders as Cowrie jumped out of the water to hug Elise on the other side.

"Does Azul know?" 

~

He did.

Not every detail but enough to seek help from the library...he just didn't actually say which one.

Madam Lorelei was expecting him any minute now at her usual table at the Leviathan Club. When he entered and rushed past the staff to the second level, both his mother and grandmother were there waiting for him. 

"My darling boy," the grandmother said with gentle understanding in her eyes, "Come, sit." 

Azul greeted his mother with a hug and kiss on her cheek, not bothering to hide the frustration in his eyes. These powerful women raised him and were far too clever to not notice it on their own. Azul had called and explained most of the situation beforehand but seeing him in person filled in all other gaps. 

"So...it would seem she found her prince after all, precious," Madam Lorelei's tentacle lifted the teacup to her red lips. 

"It would seem so," his mouth was tight and his voice bitter, "Had I known that pursuing something like this would take her further away from me..."

"Azul," his mother huffed, "Dear Elise returned your feelings. Complications aside, it's a wonderful thing, sweetness!"

"Your mother is right, my boy. I may have had my doubts before but...well, your mother's friend, Madam Leech, had quite a lot of praise for her and her boldness. Besides, this may be a good time for the princess to return to the surface for a time," Lorelei's voice was cryptic as she stared out the windows, "There's a storm brewing across the borders. The further away she is from it, the better." 

"What do you mean, grandmother?" Azul asked tentatively. It was no mystery that the two families controlling the city had tensions running high but the waters felt denser than before he left. The worried look on his mother's face spoke volumes as she lowered her voice.

"You boys got those poor Cerith girls out of here just in time. Things have been getting worse between the two houses. Ventuno Muraeni was killed on Leech property just the other day. I haven't seen Indigo Cerith since he came by to tell me you had left for school...I hope he's alright."

Azul had a bad feeling in his gut. He had known the Leech family since childhood. He grew up with this ongoing feud happening right outside his family's door for years. An upset or an event here or there was fairly normal. As long as he or anyone else not involved kept their noses out of it, they were guaranteed safety. But now that the lines had been crossed and blurred between the two families...were any of them safe from becoming collateral damage?

"The dagger I gave her, does she still have it, Azul?" Lorelei suddenly asked.

"I have it. It's safe at my dorm. She has no need for it now so I can return it-"

"Don't be so sure, darling," Lorelei cut him off with a wagging finger, "Before this was a favor for my dear grandson's friend. Now it's personal. I'd rather my future granddaughter-in-law keep it close for the time being. Just in case. She may not need it for any magical purpose but a weapon is still a weapon," she took another sip before giving both her daughter and grandson a sharp look, "Don Leech nor his predecessors have given me any reason to distrust their clan. However, I can't say the same for Don Muraeni and his abyssal scum. We'd all be wise to watch our backs no matter where we are." 

Madam Lorelei stood up gracefully from the table as she wordlessly slid a piece of parchment over to Azul before giving one last warning, "Return to school, for now, my dear. I will see what I can do on my end but for now, you were never here and this conversation never happened." 

Azul knew how this world of theirs worked, "Of course, grandmother. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule." 

~ 

Once Azul stepped into the empty Mirror Chamber, only then did he read the parchment Madam Lorelei had given him. His eyes narrowed and filled with more questions than he could count. 

Watch out for Proteus, Don Muraeni's eyes and ears.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Okay, so maybe they aren't "frequently asked" due to nobody even knowing this exists, but I digress.)

What is Diverged Destiny? An Undertale AU created by @superduggy117.

What kind of AU is this? While there are some roleswap elements, it is not the focus of the AU. There are some new characters and locations to visit with a decently new story. Honestly, I'm hesitant to give it a concrete label. If I HAD to describe it, I'd maybe call it an "AU with roleswap elements". Simply put, It's a story set in Undertale's world. You'll recognize a lot of aspects, but others may surprise you...

So roleswaps aren't the "focus". Can I get a roles list? Honestly, I'm... hesitant to provide one. I don't want so much emphasis on the roleswaps, and I'd also much prefer them to be revealed through the story itself rather than kinda just... being put out there. You'll just have to stay on your toes. Besides, won't it be more fun if you don't know what to expect?

How is Diverged Destiny's world different from Undertale's? For starters, certain key events and characters' lives played out a little differently. The timeline has been shuffled around at points, so some things that wouldn’t be possible otherwise can still happen (like certain characters existing at the same time, and them existing earlier than they otherwise would). As I've said, there are also some brand-new characters to meet and locations to visit. As for the genuine specifics, well, I don't want to give away any spoilers. You'll have to keep up with the story to find out! Just... keep an open mind. If something doesn't seem like it makes sense, it is very likely that your questions will likely be answered eventually.

What time period does the main story take place? Unlike in the original Undertale, the timeline here is much tighter and significantly less time has passed. This story takes place in 202X, which is essentially the present day, meaning I had to take some creative liberties and shuffle some things around, considering that most of the main cast shouldn’t technically exist by that point.

What format will the story be in? A write-up split into segments. It follows a single path and has one ending. While I will post updates on here, the main home for everything related to Diverged Destiny will be on the master google doc. There likely won't be custom sprites or anything like that, as I have neither the tools or the knowledge on how to make them. I'd love to create a spritecomic, but realistically, I highly doubt that's ever going to happen.

Is there an OST? Nope. I do know what tracks WOULD play, though. The write-up describes what the tracks would sound like to the best of my ability.

Perhaps one day there will be an actual OST, but not today.

How often will updates be released? I dunno. I just kinda work on this whenever I have time to, really. There's no set schedule or anything. I wouldn't expect them very often, to be honest :P

Do you have the full story planned out? Most of it! I'm excited to show anyone at all you guys what I've got in store...

So there's one route, huh? The write-up follows one main story. In-universe, it simply doesn't make sense for there to even be a Genocide Route. Regardless, I do have some Genocide ideas thrown together that I'll reveal later down the line for fun.

What about the main character? Haha this is less of a frequently-asked question and more of an infodump The concept of NarraCharra is used in Diverged Destiny.

However, the two protagonists of DD are actually original characters!

Amy can be rather reckless at times and is often frustrated at others for not taking her seriously. Not much is currently known about Caleb other than the fact that he's currently along for the ride.

Amy is 14 and Caleb is 15.

Can I make fan-content about this AU? Sure! Stuff like drawings, sprites, music, etc. is completely fine. Just make sure to link back here somewhere so people can find out what it's all about. I mean I doubt anyone would make any but like it'd be cool

Why should I care at all? Good question! Honestly, I just really want to share the stuff I've come up with. If only three people are genuinely interested in what I have to say, then so be it. I just figured I'd throw my stuff up here and maybe people would stumble across it, y'know?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That about wraps it up, I think. Obviously, there's not much to see as of now, but I just wanted to get this up and running while I worked on the AU itself. I'll probably have the Ruins arc up here at some point soonish...?

Thanks for reading through all of that, I guess. I don't have anything else to show you for now...

WHAT. We played in the exact same order!? That's so funny LMAO What are the chances!!! 😂 to think we both didn't follow the recommended route order at all and used a completely different route order.

I agree!! Shu quitting smoking for Teuta was so cute. I think one of my (very minor) gripes is how Shu didn't experience withdrawals at all, or ever felt the urge to light a cigarette after all that? I don't really count the one time he smoked with Yang because he was offered a cigarette, and he did put it out early. And yeah you're right that was really cute 🥺 out of all the LIs, it's Shu that I was least expecting to talk to her parents, but he really went and did it. Good job Shu.

HAHA I also get you on bringing up your faves whenever you get the chance, I also do it a lot albeit unconsciously haha oh Sasuke is in your top three, who are the other two if you don't mind me asking?

I like your thoughts on the last two chapters! You're one of the few people I talked to who kinda liked them LMAO in my case I was definitely one of the people who were disappointed. So much plot bombs were dropped that didin't have any hinting or foreshadowing whatsoever throughout the same, so it's just one unsatisfying surprise after another to me. It also gave me more questions than answers, which hopefully would get answered in the second season but also I highly doubt it. I really love the Carmen CG though. Also man I felt the opposite with Auld Lang Syne, it didn't feel calm to me at all LOL the effects were giving me a migraine, and the reveals (especially about Zora and Sauli) made me feel so sick. Then the game ended there and I just sat there confused. 😂

I know, I was laughing for days afterwards over the fact someone else bucked the recommended order and played the exact order I did.

True about the withdrawals thing; never really through of that. I'd say my gripe in general was the routes felt on the shorter side, so the writers had a LOT of ground to cover in not a whole lot of time. So I guess things like Shu struggling with quitting or more obvious romantic scenes in Mozu's route were glossed over due to those length restraints. Though, thinking about it, Shu's withdrawals had to be hellish because he said smoking was the way to bring him back to that day, but the nicotine had to be numbing in some fashion, too. So you have the two opposite components tied to past trauma that his clinging to using a now deeply ingrained habit, and you're telling me he was able to just change to lollipops on a dime? Yeah, I'm not buying it, but I'll overlook it because it's Shu. XD

And agreed. You would have expected Limbo, with his connection to his sister throughout the game, to be the one to do it. But nah, Shu was the surprise. :D I really liked it, though, because even though is family is a little odd and broken, it was very tight and meant the world to him. It was very precious. <3

I know I'm a bit of the odd ball when it came to those last 2 chapters. XD But whatever, LOL. I was definitely left reeling after the last chapter, so I understand that feeling. I binged that game in a matter of a week or two, so I hit the end and was just sitting in the adrenaline rush of "no, that can't be all!" XD I haven't replayed that end, so I'll have to go back and replay it for a better answer. But for Auld Syne Lang, I guess I should have clarified that it didn't exactly calm me as much as it was relatively "calmer" compared to Full Circle. XD Because that end WAS one gut punch after another. (Also, yeah, those affects were brutal, I think at that point, I stopped paying attention to them and just focused on the text specifically.) As I was replaying the main route, though, rereading that Luka committed fraud for a sex crime victim's case was a punch to the gut! Like suddenly her motivations of being a cop and helping out that victim in particular was crystal clear. And painful. Like, there were hints that you just kinda gloss over at the time, but rereading them makes you applaud that bit of foreshadowing.

Left this for last, but as for my three favorite boys, I'm obsessed with Code:Realize. Victor Frankenstein and Abraham Van Helsing have been batting for top spot for a while. XD I adore both of them to pieces. Victor was top for a while, but I think Van has just edge him out by now. And that leaves Sasuke as solid third. XD No other Love Interest has left quite as strong and heavy of an impression on me as much as these three boys. (It's the glasses. Has to be. XD) Even though I definitely have others I love, these are hard and fast top 3 that aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

My love of Van Helsing is probably the reason I was drawn to Shu so much. They have quite a bit in common.

[viscountessevie]

Some people on twitter are complaining about Calam trying to "snatch" Chris' job because he's constantly talking about how he wants Theo to end up with Eloise.

While I think that it's not his fault that he is so popular and that he is allowed to share his opinion I still think that it's lowkey weird and disrespectful towards Chris to go so hard for it because from what we know so far he was casted as Eloises endgame so it's his job. I believe that even the Sienna and Marina actresses knew their boundaries because I've seen a lot of people rooting for them.

I mean we don't which route the creators will choose in the end. Even Cláudia said that she wants Eloise to date some people before settling down.

But as for now it is Chris' job and I feel really bad for him because people are being so mean for no reason and now this too.

Honestly I don't have anything against Calam and before reading the tweets I never thought about this but him talking about it at every opportunity when you know that it's actually someone else's job comes off as desperate.

But then we don't know everything ...

What do you think ? And please enlighten me if I'm too incomprehensive or completely wrong.

Hey Anon thanks for waiting and sending this ask! When I first got this ask, it intrigued me I didn't realise the Theloise vs Philoise ship war had devolved into going after the actors. But it's also happening at Twitter so am I really surprised? No lol.

I want to first answer your last para, you were perfectly articulate so don’t worry at all and I don’t think you’re completely wrong but I do disagree with you on some points which I will cover in a bit but overall honoured you enjoy my content and thoughts enough to ask me what I think so thank you! Now let’s get to it: 

Let me preface this by saying the going after actors and complaining about them needs to stop especially on a very public forum we share with them like Twitter and Insta - I would say Tumblr is more or less safe from them but still I would tread with caution. Everyone knows I have my gripes with Pelican and how Nicola sometimes talks about Newts or defending Penalty but I usually keep my Nicola discussions to myself and my friend group. 

Let me couple your first and fourth points (about Calum being weird and disrespectful towards Chris and him coming off as desperate), I gotta respectfully and firmly disagree on those points because honestly he just comes across excited about his current role. At this point, I’ve accepted that the TV show is always going to put the casual TV fans and general audience first so of course all the marketing has been pandering towards them, including the actors’. He’s operating on the fact that most of his fans haven’t read the books and is trying to keep it open as to who will be Eloise’s endgame be. Yes, he’s being a little bit of a tease but it seems harmless. At the end of the day, this is quite a big role for him and he’s obviously very proud of his work and role in it. So he’s reacting as such. I would say he is thrilled about being on the show and hyping up his own character. 

Just because he’s focused on that doesn’t mean he is automatically being disrespectful to Chris. And don’t take this the wrong way but Chris and Calum literally do not share any scenes so they aren’t even co-workers let alone friends so I highly doubt Chris or Calum care tbh. In that vein, Calum doesn’t owe him shit or have to shrink himself to appease Chris’ fans - let’s be honest at this point only Philoise/Chris’ fans are bothered by this because they feel threatened by their ship being disliked by the general fandom. All in all, I genuinely believe Chris does not care at all what Calum is doing, if anything he would understand. Also at this point of the show’s timeline, it is Theo’s time to shine as El’s love interest. Of course, Calum and even Claudia are going to hype him up at the moment. Chris as Phillip’s time will come. 

Since we’re on that, let me reassure your worries on the endgame point. Chris/Phillip will always have the endgame role and in the last two seasons, we’ve seen both book canon couples get together despite being in love triangles. Also on that note @ Jess Brownell and Shonda PLEASE FUCKING LET THE TRIANGLES DIE!! Fuck yall for wanting to do the seasons differently but having useless triangles in both seasons?? Fuck that shit. The only triangle I wanna see next season is Sophie vs Sophie (Lady in Silver Edition)!! 

Mini rant aside, you honestly do not have to worry about Philoise. Especially since Philly is in the show, it will end with Pelican and Philoise trust me if the show doesn’t get renewed past S4. 

[Personally, I am not looking forward to this because it means Marina has to die for these two white women to get their HEA at the expanse of a black woman - fun fucking times. While we’re on this, I do have to call you out anon for saying the line “I believe that even the Sienna and Marina actresses knew their boundaries because I've seen a lot of people rooting for them.” While I am assuming you didn’t mean anything malicious by it, it did rub me the wrong way. It comes across as you praising them for ‘knowing their boundaries’ or more crudely saying they “stayed in their place” which is kind of gross to talk about any woman, esp WoCs. If Sabrina and Ruby wanted to hype up Siena/Anthony or Colin/Marina last season and even this season for the latter ship, they should be able to!! Who are we to enforce boundaries on these people? Let them be excited for their roles in the show. Because at the end of the day we will get our endgame ships and couples, and these amazing people are getting exposure and playing characters they like!

To end this off, I just wanna express my disappointment at Twitter fans for the way they have been treating both Calum and Chris for being annoying about Theloise and being mean to him respectively. It’s not nice at all and we need to leave these people the fuck alone unless you’re paying them a genuine compliment. 

As our parents would say: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all! 

If you made it this far: thanks for reading all this way through!!

Everything Weird About Deltarune!

Spoiler Warning for Undertale and Both Chapters of Deltarune! Really! I Literally Go Through Everything I Can Remember About Them!

This is a long post so get comfortable. Also note that my brain doesn't process thoughts into words very well so some of these might not be worded in the best way. :)

Deltarune. The first teaser chapter was released on October 31, 2018, and it came out of nowhere. We've all gone through this, but I'll try and go through every single painstaking detail I can remember. Feel free to reblog and add/correct things.

The weirdness begins right off the bat. The title is an anagram of UNDERTALE. We all know Toby likes to use anagrams when he wants to indirectly tell us when things are related, so it's no surprise that when you go to download DELTARUNE, it warns you that the game is designed for people who have played UNDERTALE. You think, "Cool, so it's a sequel? Or maybe a prequel? A different perspective of UNDERTALE perhaps?" You were wrong; so terribly, terribly wrong! I'll elaborate on this later.

Before you download the application, the terms of service that you must agree to beforehand reads simply and plainly, "You accept everything that will happen from now on." This detail was kinda brushed off in the beginning, because, hey, it's Toby Fox. He does weird stuff all the time. But even in the first chapter, it's apparent that the concept of choice, or more accurately, the lack of it, is a very present theme in the game. I would like to remind you that Toby has announced that there will be one ending in the game. One. I'll elaborate on this later.

The program (as in, what the game is called in your files) is named SURVEY PROGRAM. Why not just call it Deltarune like it is when you download chapter two?

The game launches you, without a title screen, without any setting adjustment options, straight into a reference to the theme of the entire franchise: the lack of choice. A strange formless voice guides you through "making a vessel", with what we know now as a fountain in the background. You have the option to make some very disturbing choices in this character creator, such as making its favorite flavor "pain" or expressing your feelings about it with options such as "fear" and "disgust." You name your "creation," tell the formless voice your name (which is different from your vessel's name) and watch as said formless voice muses over your name at an agonizing pace. It thanks you for your time and tells you that your wonderful creation, (cue music cutout and background removal) will now be discarded. "No one can choose who they are in this world." The screen slowly turns white as the voice says, "Your... name... is..."

It gets weirder. The next scene appears from the whiteness and showcases Toriel calling "Kris" out of bed. Kris' area of the room is very bare in contrast to the other side, which we later discover is Asriel's.

It's Toriel. Why is Toriel here?

Kris is kind of an anagram of Frisk (the protagonist of UNDERTALE) but without the F. I highly doubt this is a coincidence.

Speaking with Noelle is the only reason you can proceed (see what i did there?) while finding a partner in the classroom. This means you can't go through the 1st chapter without knowing who she is. Is it because of the Snowgrave route?

Ralsei is just suspicious to me. There's no way he was just waiting in that castle his whole life alone without some mental toil. So either he's insane or he wasn't alone the whole time. What happened? Is it related to how he can close his eyes and see what Susie is going through when she's apart from the party? Was he just watching everything? Is he related to the formless voice?

Susie's icon is the only one without color in the Dark World.

Jevil's fight is more difficult than Sans'.

Your actions have little consequence in the first chapter. If you choose to go genocide, the only difference in the ending is being run out of the kingdom, and this doesn't carry over to the next chapter. Again, lack of choice, people.

If at the end of chapter one, you walk around town, it's mentioned (notably by Noelle) that you're usually not this talkative. If you go to the hospital and speak with the receptionist, they mention that you used to play the piano in the corner. If you decide to attempt to play the said piano, an out-of-key bash can be heard and the receptionist comments on how you used to play beautifully. If you try this in chapter two, the result is the same. All this is confirmation that Kris is acting noticeably weird.

When you leave the Dark World and walk around town, you can find Sans. He "pretends" to recognize you, and if you tell him you recognize him, he tells you it's funny, considering that you two have never met before. He winks. I'm pretty sure he knows that the player is there.

The mention of Papyrus in both games, but the purposeful lack of him. Like he's avoiding you.

If you go upstairs while inside Asgore's flower shop, there are flowers in glass cases resembling his SOUL collection in UNDERTALE. There's a red flower.

You can't enter the church.

The clock in the storage closet shows a different time than all the others in the school.

If you go all the way south in town and into the woods, the music stops and you come across a rusty, double door is in a hill covered in crass. It's locked. If you go this way in chapter two, however, you watch a cutscene where you and susie happen to find Monster Kid from UNDERTALE (or someone resembling them) and an owl kid in front of the door. The owl kid is pressuring Monster Kid to (presumably) break inside, telling them that they don't want to be a wimp like Kris. Does this imply that Kris is connected to this strange door somehow?

The ending. You know what I'm talking about.

Did Kris actually rip out the SOUL (I say "the" because I'm not entirely sure it's Kris') and knife because they wanted to eat the pie? Did they only eat the pie because Toriel caught them?

Why did they look at the player? Are they sick of being controlled? Is that why they freaked out after the Spamton fight? (later)

Anyway, now we're at chapter two.

DELTARUNE Chapter Two was released on September 17th, 2021. 17. Entry Number 17. Sound familiar?

Asriel's part of the room is different from the last chapter. I don't think this means anything sinister, but I think it means Kris notices different things about the room as the story progresses. My theory is that it will become more sinister in each chapter.

Ralsei getting super excited to see Susie and Kris after a day. As in he has separation anxiety and it breaks my heart. not anything suspicious but it makes me sad so it's on the list.

Kris and Susie's rooms. Ralsei REALLY doesn't want them to leave. Seriously get this boy a therapist. Or a stuffed animal. SOMETHING.

Kris having to gather everything from the storage closet so that people appear in the Dark World????? Why??????????????? They had to do the same thing for the computer lab too.

The golden door. I don't trust it.

How/why the heck did Noelle and Berdley go into the Computer Lab Dark World? I don't see either of them just walking into pulsing void doors without Susie.

Apparently the knight has been gone for a bit and can corrupt people's minds? The king in the first chapter doesn't seem like he can be redeemed but Queen just seems,,, not bad, but a little crazy. I wonder what happened.

Then again, name ONE person in this franchise without trauma.

Spamton.

Horror doesn't bother me. Spamton? Spamton bothers me.

SPAMTON. ENOUGH SAID.

A Kromer is a type of hat invented in the '70s. Nobody named Mike is associated with it, that I can find.

SPAMPTON. HOW DO I EVEN DESCRIBE IT.

HIS SONG IS THE ONLY ONE WITH WORDS.

The way he asks Kris is they want to be a heart on a chain their whole life. Like, dude, no wonder they were screaming after the fight.

WHERE DID THE YELLOW HEART COME FROM. YELLOW MEANS JUSTICE. WHY DOES JUSTICE APPLY.

Kris screaming after the fight and the player not being able to hear it. Don't you dare tell me that's just how the game is designed. There are sound effects characters make throughout the game. None that I can think of apply to Kris, apart from when they rip their soul out.

Ralsei brushing off the Spamton fight. Either that's his coping mechanism or he was trying to shut Susie and Kris up to protect them from... something. I'll touch on that in a minute.

According to Queen, DETERMINATION is a key factor in creating a fountain.

Also according to Queen, Kris, Noelle, and Susie all have DETERMINATION SOULS.

Ralsei freaking out about Berdley making a fountain implies that he may also have DETERMINATION. Why I'm bringing all this up will make sense soon.

How was Noelle able to cast Snowgrave... a spell that she, according to her, didn't know?

The Snowgrave route is so twisted.

You manipulate Noelle into killing Berdley and then, when you get back to the computer lab and investigate his corpse, the text box says that he doesn't seem to be awake. As if you're in denial?

Burgerpants recognizes you. Not Kris. As in the player.

The ending. I don't think I need to describe it. Kris is very methodical without the SOUL. (I say "the" because, again, I'm not 100% convinced it's theirs.) I'm saying this about how they left clues that someone broke into the This proves that they are NOT a mindless, vengeful husk.

HOW DID THEY MAKE THE FOUNTAIN WITHOUT THE SOUL INSIDE OF THEM. DID THEY FEED THE SOUL TO IT AFTERWARDS? IS THAT WHAT THAT WAS?

Another point I would like to make is my theory that Ralsei knows much more than he would have us believe. I might put this into a different post because I have yet to gather my points into a coherent bullet point list, so keep an eye out for that.

Anyway apart from Toriel and Susie being VERY heavy sleepers, I think I've gone through everything. I have a few theories.

1. Kris is possessed by the player and figured out that they could make a fountain from Queen and related to Spamton freaking out about freedom. They then decided to make a fountain going by the logic that "this would tick the player off." This is one of my top theories that assumes that the SOUL is theirs.

And 2. Kris is possessed by both the player and the knight. I think the formless voice at the very beginning of the game is the knight, and they somehow needed the player to possess someone with DETERMINATION. If so, then why Kris? We know from Queen that Noelle and Susie, and maybe even Berdley also have DETERMINATION. The most plausible thing I can think of is the fact that human souls are stronger than monster ones.

I do think that the popular theory (about the one that suggests that the Dark Word is nothing but a figment of a child's imagination, and the events that occur in said Dark World are simply children playing with toys) has been thoroughly dashed due to Berdley's murder in the genocide route of the second chapter. Unless he's not dead. Regardless, how the events (or lack thereof) that occur in the second chapter play through the next will be interesting, especially considering Toby's announcement about how there will be one ending to the game. So either Berdley isn't dead, or he will be.

Aaaand I think that's it! Sorry for the long post; let me know your thoughts and if I missed anything!

[bobateaboo]

aaaaand more backstory, surprise! again, this'll all be compiled into an ao3 fic, in order, once I have it all sorted out, so don't worry if you miss anything!

Vanessa was tired of being hurt.

Tired of staying quiet, tired of sneaking and stealing and hiding.

Tonight would be the last night she ever hid herself away, she could promise that.

She listened to footsteps and angry voices above, translucent wings tucked under her coat so they couldn’t catch the light and give her away. The sound of heavy stomping thundered above her as she crawled under them, looking up through the gaps to get her bearings.

She guessed there was one good thing about being here when she was this young, no adult would think the pried up board in the corner could serve as any sort of an escape route. She had a strategy at this point. Four steps. Pause. Get her bearings. Repeat.

Four steps.

She could see the door, she’d have to get out of the floor and make a run for it once she got to the frame.

Four steps.

People thundered above her, between her and the door, but it didn’t matter now.

Four steps.

The moonlight on the other side of the door shone clear, a marking to her way out.

Four steps.

There was a heavy padlock, but she knew full well that it wouldn’t be a problem.

Four steps.

She looked up to get her bearings again.

And looked straight into someone’s eyes.

“Underneath the floorboards!”

Vanessa abandoned her cautious pace as people hammered away, hands splintering through the gaps to grab at her as she scrambled forward, shards of wood and hands and fingernails gripping and tearing at her coat, insect wings buzzing as she clawed at the ground to get away, splinters scraping at her skin and pulling at her hair.

A very common mistake, Vanessa had found, was that people looked at her and saw something dainty. Soft brown skin, dark hair, fragile wings and thin antennae, with clever looking green eyes. Barely shoulder height to even some of the shorter adults. Her name, which felt half detatched like it would fall at any moment, was the type of name you would expect of someone offering you a warm drink with caramel in it.

And that’s where they made the mistakes.

Vanessa burst up from under the floorboards, cracking through the wood like glass, darting between people to clutch the padlock, acid dripping from her fingertips, dissolving away the metal like cotton candy in a thunderstorm before she tore it away, throwing it into the face of one of her pursuers and kicking open the door.

The warehouse district was cold and gray, large containers of building supplies and cargo darted past as she ran, not looking back at the shouts behind her. She could hear people chasing. Gaining on her. She put on a burst of speed, narrowly dodging as someone lunged for her. Okay, yep, that’s enough of that actually- she was coming to a steep drop off, with stairs leading down to the lower level of the street, but she didn’t have time for that. She jumped up, springing off the railing, wings spreading to keep her afloat and out of reach.

She wasn’t sure how long she flew. All she knew was that at some point, the shouts and yells had faded into fuzz, drowned out by cars and chatter and lights and the aching of her poor wings.

She collapsed onto a roof, curling up. She was out. *She was out.* She was free. Now where does she go?! What… what does she do now?

Her celebration was drowned out by that thought. It wasn’t like she had any money, where was she gonna stay, what was she gonna eat? She didn’t know who or where her family was, if she had one, and she doubted anyone would be sold on “Hey, I just escaped a highly traumatic experience, can you adopt me?”

She looked over the city, full of noise and lights and smoke, and started to cry.

She sat and cried, ugly tears, nothing as pretty as that civilized weeping you see girls like her doing in movies, there was snot trailing down her face and her eyes were red and puffy. She was lucky she was so far above street level, she didn’t need some pizza shop owner or something coming up to tell her she was bothering customers.

She sat there for a while, wiping at her face with her arms. Great, wasting fluids. Where’s she gonna get water to drink, anyway? She stubbornly tried to stop crying, rubbing her nose, when someone grabbed her arm.

“So this is where you went.”

Vannessa kicked, biting her attacker's hand, wings flaring to life with pained soreness. The man growled, pulling out a knife. She lunged to the side on instinct, but she wasn’t the target.

She felt her wing tear with a bone chilling rrrrip, teetering on the edge of the building.

Fuck.

The man grinned as she ran desperately, hiding behind one of the air ducts on the roof. It wasn’t like she could hide now. It was too late for that. All it could do was be something between the two people.

“Come on out, little buggy, it’s time ta go home…”

Vanessa squeezed her eyes shut.

And then he screamed.

It was a blood curdling noise, cutting through the city sounds like the shouts and honks were nothing more than whispers, chilling Vanessa right down to her bones. It was pure agony, a cry for help, desperation.

And then it was over.

And new footsteps were approaching.

Vanessa looked up to see a stranger sitting on the ground before her, a skeleton with neat ivory bones and gold eyelights, scarves wrapped around his neck.

“Your wing is injured, may I help you?”

She looked at him, dumbfounded, before nodding. He reached out, golden warmth washing over the injury, knitting it back together like threads of torn fabric.

“Do you have anywhere to go, dear?”

“Get to the point.”

The skeleton blinked, laughing for a moment. “I suppose that’s fair. My name is Solar, I don’t like seeing people run with no place to run to, would you like to come with me?”

Venus thought. He could be working with the people who attacked her, or just planning to kidnap her. But then why not pretend he didn’t know healing magic? Somewhere to stay *did* sound tempting right about now.

“Would you like for me to get you something to eat before you decide?”

“Oh fucking hell, yes please.”

Solar laughed, helping her back down to street level by the stairs of the fire escape.

“Do you know much about space?”

Gina x Ricky | if you met me first

This reminds me of Delena. "Maybe if I met you first". 😭💔

As others have said, Nini is a representation of Ricky's past involving his mom's divorce. Gina is a chance to move forward, but out of his comfort zone.

I honestly love the idea of the girl, the talented Nini, who's central plot is all about her love story, ending up as a very independent lady who dreams big and realizes she doesn't need a man.😌 And as for our gifted Gina, who started off as a very ambitious lady who has no time or can't commit to a man, and who's plot is centred around securing her dreams, ending up with the love story with the main guy. 💑

It's so poetic and deep. Such a beautiful and a surprising way to end the show. I know we have at 5 seasons more, so a huge part of me is hoping they might take this route. If they do this, I will hold the writers with the same level of respect as I have for Andi Mack writers for going against norms of Disney.

But knowing Disney, I highly doubt. And that breaks my heart. I'm pretty sure they'll create a lot of hype with Rina and maybe few cute scenes, but paint it as some hurdle for Rini. If that's the case, I DON'T want romantic Rina at all, and I will gladly settle for a platonic one. 😣

Please don't use and discard our Queen Gina for some angst with a basic white boy. Don't screw her feelings over for plot device or viewer baiting. I would be more than happy to accept romantic Rini as long as Gina is treated with respect. She needs to grow up and discover herself, with or without a man by her side, and so does Nini. ❤

This show is about slowly finding your place in the world, mainly in theatre and arts, and navigating through drama. But I just really hope they make Rina and independent Nini a huge part of that world.

Rina, whether it was an intentional or an accidental ship, should make the writers second guess the ultimate pairing of the show. Rina has so much room to grow, but the wait will be so worth it.

I hope Disney has the balls to make a non cliche ship with so much potential and amazing chemistry endgame. 🙌🏼

Thanks for reading! 💛

Damian Wayne: Expectations

A/N: I have no idea where this came from but I wrote it anyway.

Warnings: Like 1 swear word

>>>>——————————>

Life in Gotham could be difficult, horrific and down right dangerous - so like any other kid who had been living it rough you turned to crime. Firstly creating an alias for yourself equip with fitted black costume as the colour made it easier to move through Gotham at night, it consisted of a hood and bandana to cover your face and conceal your identity. You took up minor theft, so by the time you reached your teenage years you were now a seasoned professional - you had perfected 'slight of hand', acquired fighting skills as well as being very good with disguising yourself to gain entrance to otherwise unreachable areas/events.

Most of the time it was thievery from those who seemed more wealthy, you considered it better to steal from the wealthier population rather than the poor as they would need their money more - though you were a criminal you did have some values intact. This time however was unusual, Catwoman had asked for your assistance on a job, you had met Catwoman before on numerous occasions and got on quite well but you didn't expect her to ever ask for your help, clearly she thought very highly of your abilities.

As a result, after robbing a museum of a cat sculpture you found yourself standing on a rooftop waiting for the promised payment your partner was currently handing you.

"Catwoman, you're going to have to return that." A deep voice sounded from behind you, sending a string of curse words through your head.

Surprise surprise, you turned to find the Dark Knight accompanied by Robin who had joined you on the building.

"Who are you?" The sidekick asked bluntly taking a step toward you.

"Hm, wouldn't you like to know?" You quickly replied, matching the arrogant tone meanwhile Catwoman looked genuinely amused. Your temporary partner, clearly unwilling to simply hand over the stolen goods, began to flirt with Batman - apparently reoccurring behaviour judging by Robins foul expression.

"They do this often then?" You commented, observing the two adults.

"Too often. You still didn't answer my question thief." Robin replied, getting into a defensive stance mirroring his mentor.

"It's (v/n) - thief is just rude birdboy." You earned a growl before he came at you with his katana.

Though you weren't specifically trained in any martial arts, you picked up a thing or two by watching others or brief involvements with street gangs which allowed you to hold your own somehow. Instinctively, you pulled out your daggers to clash with the oncoming blade before kicking Robin in the abdomen and running for it. Successfully, you made your escape without being followed equip with money from Catwoman and so, you made you way 'home'.

.

Over the next few weeks, you had various encounters with Robin which you found peculiar as there were far more dangerous villains out there that required his attention but here he was again - confronting you about the deal you’d just completed, selling off a rich mans watch for a very good price.

"Why are you doing this?" The vigilante asked, arms crossed as he blocked your path.

"Because it pays well? I'm not quite sure what you expected." You sarcastically remarked, scanning the area for an exit.

"You seem like a good person, from my observations you only rob the wealthy. You should use your skills for something more productive." He commented, noticing your glare.

"Uh huh. You're like the same age as me Robin, you can't tell me what I should be doing. Besides, I didn't have the perfect life, I highly doubt you grew up on the streets - you can't exactly get 'productive' with that, I wouldn't have these skills otherwise. So sorry hero! If this was all part of the ‘turning me to the good side’ plan - you've failed." You defended, venom lacing your tone despite the mockery situated there. It was possible that you were a little harsh but you didn't need this at the moment, you had somewhere urgent to be.

Robin released a frustrated sigh meanwhile you put your plan of escape into action, you hopped onto the dumpster to the left, grabbing the metal ladder that lead to the staircase running up the side of the apartments. You slipped through an open window muttering a string of apologies as you ran through the now startled woman's apartment and out the front door, you made your way out of the building through the fire escape.

Checking your surroundings you discovered you'd lost the Batman's sidekick allowing relief to flood your body, though you were growing more suspicious - it shouldn't be that easy to escape Robin but it was almost like he let you get away in all of the times you'd encountered him after your first meeting. You had seen him fight other villains on the news and take them down with a degree of brutality, yet with you things never escalated to that level. Robin was obviously a better fighter and had beat you many times, brought you the police station handcuffed at least twice but never really hurt you.

Shaking your head out of the trance, you entered the old corner shop you'd made your way to and collected the items you needed. Walking over to the familiar owner of the small shop, you were greeted with a warm smile, you'd expect a form of hostility from anyone else considering your vigilante attire but upon visiting the shop on multiple occasions they soon realised you weren't a threat and never caused any trouble.

"Quite a lot of chocolate today (v/n)." The owner commented politely, knowing exactly what it was for.

"Mhm, everyone deserves a treat now and then - even me." You replied handing over some of the recently attained cash and taking the bag of items. Next you intended to return 'home'.

Unbeknownst to you Robin was tailing you, Damian was undeniably curious about you for some strange reason and had decided to follow you this time. After finding out about part of your childhood he wanted to understand why you did this, he assumed you had a home with an unstable background/parent and provided financial support though soon realised he was somewhat mistaken.

Once you left the store now carrying a bag you made your way to an old apartment building, Damian continued to follow, watching from the building opposite as you entered one of the 4th floor apartments. The area of Gotham was quite run down meaning rent wasn't expensive and you managed to maintain clean, suitable living conditions despite your situation.

"(Y/N) is back!" A young voice yelled, filled with excitement as you strolled through, placing the bag on the table.

Damian was puzzled, a small group of young children raced over to your figure which was soon lost in an array of hugs, one jumped on your back another two hugged your sides while others screamed with enjoyment.

"Yeah yeah, I missed you kids too." You happily greeted, kneeling down causing them to slowly release you.

Robin perched in the darkness now connecting everything together, you pulled down your hood and then removed your bandana, revealing your identity. Damian was stunned, the dim lighting highlighted your features perfectly and the smile you wore made you all the more beautiful.

"What did you bring us this time (y/n)?!" One girl chirped, standing hopefully in front of you.

"Hmm, well I brought some fruit, vegetables, soap, toothpaste..." You playfully listed, though the kids were grateful, they weren't exactly ecstatic to hear about the vegetables.

"And chocolate!" You grinned, excitement lacing your voice - pulling it out of the bag, the children immediately erupted into squeals and cheers taking a bar each.

Robin took this opportunity to slip through the window behind you making his presence known with a cough. You froze for a second, knowing that he probably knew you're identity now and where you lived - still, you recovered and turned around, the kids also taking notice of the unfamiliar company.

"Shit!" A child yelled from behind you, panic evident.

"Jake - language!" You whisper yelled, the children now gathered behind you.

"You're in a lot of trouble (v/n)." Robin sternly stated.

To your surprise a young girl quickly stepped in front of you spreading out her arms as a guard.

"No Robin! You can't take her away, I know she's bad sometimes but she only does it for us. Please don't take her to prison!" The girl pleaded, tears welling in her eyes.

Next was the boy, Jake, who ran to your side (chocolate long forgotten) and grabbed your arm.

"She isn't a hero like you or - or Batman but she's not a bad guy!" He claimed, also jumping to your defence.

"Yes! (V/N) is our hero, (y/n) protects us like you protect other people s-so there!" Another girl argued from behind you.

You and Robin were both shocked at the children's reactions, you found it heartwarming that they were defending you before one of their biggest heroes yet weren’t sure if their testimony’s would’ve be valid enough.

"I'm not taking (y/n) to prison." Robin boredly sighed, though he probably should - but you hadn't committed crimes at the same severity as the Penguin and you had legit reasons, so he took the opportunity to persuade you to take a more legal route.

Upon hearing Robin's assurance, the children calmed themselves dissipating into the apartment, finding suitable places to watch the scene unfold. You crossed your arms leaning on a nearby counter and looked to Robin expectantly - not having anything to say yourself.

"This is why you do it then?" He inquired, but it came off as more of a statement.

You nodded, observing the 3 children sitting on the couch while others scattered through the apartment.

"I try to take care of them when they need me, I'm pretty sure they live on the streets so I provide for them the best I can when they come to stay. But when they do, I need extra cash - with studying and my job I can just afford rent and the basics for myself. I steal so they don't have to, I want them to grow up 'good' I suppose." Robin listened carefully as he too looked at the children.

Silence.

"So... There you have it bird boy, I grew up on the streets but want them to have a better life than I had. The end." You calmly explained, your tone getting more defensive as you went on.

"You're not what I expected." Robin admitted confidently.

"Oh really? And what did you expect?" You countered, smiling with a challenging hint to your voice.

"It doesn't matter. I think you could be of assistance to me, obtain information and getting into secured areas etc. In exchange I can offer my assistance." The sidekick clearly proposed, observing the consideration dashing across your features.

"...Maybe.”

.

Within the next few weeks that's how it happened, you would assist Robin on select cases and in return he'd bring over extra supplies for any kids that decided to visit. Today was one of those days, you came in from work to find the children swarming around Robin who probably had to leave for patrol. Upon seeing you they rushed over with hugs and "Welcome home!"s before returning to their activities.

"What did you bring them this time Robin?" You curiously greeted, he threw the bag over to you which was effortlessly caught, after looking inside you nodded and placed it on the counter.

Out of gratitude, you made way to Robin and gave him a hug to display such thankfulness as you felt words weren’t quite enough this time.

"Thanks for everything bird boy." You added and pulled away from him.

"You're welcome?" Robin replied, still bewildered due to the sudden contact that it sounded as though he was questioning himself.

"So are you boyfriend and girlfriend now?" One of the girls mischievously inquired appearing out of nowhere.

"Uh - n-no. No." You briskly stuttered knowing you were blushing and attempted to conceal it to the best of your ability.

"(Y/N) is very beautiful but we are not dating." Robin answered in a much less embarrassing manner compared to you. You flushed deeper upon hearing the compliment, of course the sidekick quickly noticed your behaviour causing a smirk to appear.

Robin headed toward the window to leave for his previously mentioned patrol, though the young girl followed him and gently tugged on his cape gaining his attention.

She moved her hand to the side of her mouth so only Robin could hear her whisper "I think you should ask her out!"

"TT, I will." He assured her before disappearing into the night, finding that he’d have to learn to expect the unexpected when it came to your mismatched adopted family.

thank you but we're not gonna outright be like yes absolutely 'cos we feel like it's not even that bad, even though we HATE being home there's not like a valid enough reason because shit nan isn't always there or whatever] Jimmy: [hug her again but then obvs your feelings are too high so you're like 'I should-' and nod in the direction of your house boy, like remember those siblings I have no choice but to look after] Janis: [straighten up like 'right' but not trying to come across as disappointed as we are 'cos not that bitch so smiling 'got catching up to do with customers as well'] Jimmy: ['piss off then' but soft not like fuck you bye] Janis: [waving like bye as you go but 'see you later?' just as you're about to 'round a corner or whatever] Jimmy: [I love that he's the one who said he should go but has lowkey not moved LOL just a look like do you wanna see me later as if that's not obvious] Janis: [stopping like you really not gonna answer, as if this whole street is watching and waiting lol] Jimmy: [signs 'see you later' like we're so put upon but we're clearly amused] Janis: [does it back best we can but does 'I missed you' 'cos got that down] Jimmy: [we wanna do it back but feels are getting too high again so we just nod like well done gal you have got that down and do whatever 🤓 is instead] Janis: [🖕 but in a bants way and you must go now] Jimmy: [😏😘 because we love it but yeah fuck off both of you please]

[reset theory anon] See, yet another thing that makes me admire you so much! You're so kind and mature in expressing your opinion. You don't disregard the other person's opinion if it's different than your and that's amazing! Seven has always been my favorite character, maybe because we have a lot in common, I don't know. But I've loved him from the moment I saw him. The Reset Theory is the only MM theory I support, because it makes a lot of sense to me despite it being so painful for Seven. (1)

Part two: It makes me feel that  Seven and MC were destined to be together and since I love the idea of soulmates, I naturally loved the Reset Theory, hehe. I'm probably biased, but I thought Seven was just hiding his true feelings, because he saw MC was pursuing V. ^^ Anyway, I hope I'm not bothering you too much, but do you think we'll get a Saeran route? After V's route, I've been wanting to go save that boy and just let him be happy on his own terms. (2)☆☆☆Hi again, nonny♡I have to say, I had a lot of fun reading your opinion about what you think in regards to the Reset Theory and how it connected to V's route. I have to say, the thing you said about soul mates was absolutely beautiful! The fact that 707XMC is the Cheritz true end, the idea that the Reset Theory pretty much revolves around the soul mates psyche is what makes this theory all the more believable.Oh no worries, honey! As rational as someone can be, bias is inevitable, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with thinking that Seven was just hiding his true feelings with MC's feelings being evidently towards V. In another aspect, it makes sense because he is seen doing this in literally all routes in some way or another.The Reset Theory is interesting because I don't persay completely believe in it, but it makes a whole load of sense considering the way Cheritz pretty much made it very possible. If Cheritz just flat out announced that this theory is canon, I honestly wouldn't be surprised. There is more than enough evidence that shows that this is definitely a possible theme in the game. I really appreciate that you sent me another message explaining your views~ I love reading different opinions and honestly, your opinion itself was absolutely beautiful hehe♡Which brings me to mention that your words are still as sweet as ever! I embrace different opinions because it is interesting to me to hear about others who think different than I do. The last thing any one should do is forcefully try to change your opinion or be cruel as to say they are wrong! As for your last mention question~ my personal take on the possibility there will be a Saeran route is very likely. Mostly because with Cheritz making a V route possible, the probability of them making a Saeran route is very high in my book! If I bring my business major to any use, it would be absolutely great marketing considering Cheritz is a bit of a small scale gaming company compared to that of like Day7 (in the datingsim sector) and even though it is a bit smaller, Mystic Messenger has been a huge break for them and with how popular it is overseas, I highly doubt they would just end new playable routes with just V! Saeran was uber romantic in V's route already, so I would say that while it may take time, I'm sure there will be another route just for Saeran to come~You're definitely not alone! I want to save him too!! ^^Thanks again for sending me your precious opinion and another question~ if you ever want to talk again, you know what to do ;)- 류설♡
