There is a narrative purpose to Curly's disability, and it is NOT punishment. The direct consequence of his initial inaction is to become completely unable to protect the crew, including himself. It's not about morality and how he deserves to suffer, but rather how his enabling of Jimmy condemns everyone on the ship and he is physically powerless to stop it.
I'm gonna assume you didn't mean any harm by implying disability is a deserved punishment for anyone. But I also urge you to stop and think about that statement and how it might reflect on disabled people as a whole.
my old huge undertale and danny phantom fixation is thriving of off this
Imagine Danny being conflicted because the monsters really want out, but he knows how cruel his government is, so he doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Not only that, but as a halfa, he can’t give up his soul to help them. They need a human soul, and his is forever altered into something only half human. So he tries something else!
He phases through the mountain to search outside several times, circling around the mountain. Luckily, it’s very secluded due to old tales and stories scaring people off, even now! He starts trying to use his powers to smash an opening in the cave walls, or find some natural tunnels that could be close to the cavern and break the wall between the cavern and the tunnel for an easier ticket to the surface.
Wondering to himself “Why didn’t anyone try this??” the whole time. Let’s say there was some stone or something that negates magic in the tunnels, but since Danny doesn’t have any, he can get rid of them easy-peasy.
After that, he goes to Asgore and goes “Hey, guess what? I made a tunnel for you guys to get out and got rid of those weird stones that negate magic! But please don’t go too far because we don’t want anyone to get caught, just take my advice and stay near the mountain base for now. Now that I’ve said that, I’m exhausted, so goodnight.” and just passes out or something, because you can’t tell me the whole thing wasn’t a long process that took it out of him.
I like to think that while he was asleep, they waited on him because they were so grateful he found a way for them to finally see the surface! Besides, they waited centuries for it, what’s one more day? It’s likely that not everyone is as willing to do this as the rest, but they do it anyways. He’s very touched when he wakes up and they’re all still there, and once everyone’s ready, they all go outside. Coincidentally, it’s sunset when they get outside.
They might set up camp or something, and once that’s all said and done, Danny finally gets to show them the stars.
Or if that doesn’t work, he goes to Clockwork to ask him if he thinks something can be done. It gets a little complicated concerning the timelines, but the end answer is yes and they get to brainstorming.
Another idea is that maybe, just maybe, Danny could find a way to at least get them out of the mountain for a little bit by bringing them to the ghost zone. They still want to see the surface of their world, though, so it’s just a temporary solution. I definitely think he’d talk to Asgore about this feeling nervous because it’s not what they want, but probably something they need. And still, it’s not a permanent solution. It’s more of a field trip or something.
He expected Asgore to be disappointed with this idea, but he couldn’t be more happy and willing to accept this idea. It’s a bit of a process because they need to figure out the details, including finding a good spot for them to go first.
So yeah! Field trip for the whole Underground, I guess!
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
amen
I will ruin you (it’s a habit I can’t help it)
FINALLY figured out how to draw on my pc so here, have an OC for a change. they are inspired by moi, mostly just the undercut and the clothes tho lol- (idk how good the quality is sorry)
I’ve been watching the sun and moon show for a while but this is the first art i made of the actual characters ever lol. It doesn’t really have anything to do with SAMS but i just wanted to talk about it ig lmao
Pick him up and move him like bowling ball
Did everyone somehow just forget that Russia was the one who started the war on Ukraine? That Russia invaded Ukraine apropos of nothing, and has been doing everything it can to steal what it can and destroy what it can't? That Ukrainian kids are being stolen by Russia for russification? That Russia is actively trying to suppress Ukrainian language, culture, and national identity? That Ukraine is just defending itself and is literally just asking for Russia to fuck off and leave them alone? Did everyone just forget that??
Like I'm the nuance guy, and folks: there's no nuance here. There is no justification for this invasion. There is a clear aggressor and a clear victim. This is about as clear cut as it gets.
Russia started the damn war, and now wants it to end and is negotiating with the US (not Ukraine??) to get there. This is literally just wrapping up Ukrainian surrender to Russian imperialism in a pretty bow and calling it "peace."
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Thank you!
dp x dc bonus: danny could theoretically get a huge ass straw and drink the lazarus pits. but because the pits are essentially rotten ectoplasm he does get ill from it. nothing huge, just sickness and a cold that’ll probably leave after 2-3 days. the short sickness is worth getting rid of the pits though. at least he thinks so.
danny can summon ectoplasm just fine, it formes like a floating ball in his hand or shoots out of his fingers and what not. but absolving ectoplasm is a little….weirder. danny has to physically eat the ectoplasm. for example if he had a ball of ectoplasm in his hand, he would have to eat it like and apple. or he can drink it. and other. (listen i just need unconventional ways danny eats ectoplasm and everyone that isnt used to his weirdness gets confused as hell)
