No, No, No…It Should Be Working! Why Isn’t It Working?!

yo real quick not to  Undertale Theorize On Main Again but can we talk about how Asriel obviously admires and looks up to Sans in spite of all of Flowey’s “smiley trashbag” complaints

Flowey says he’s lost to Sans who knows how many times, which means he’s seen how he acts in a fight A LOT and probably sees him as the strongest monster in the underground

so when you’re fighting Asriel, he’s childishly mimicking Sans’ expressions and detached attitudes, just like how little kids copy their idols, or like how when playing and roughhousing they might imitate the Big Bad Villain or Super Cool Hero they saw in their video games and cartoons

Flowey hates Sans, but only because Asriel sees him as that obnoxiously-difficult-but-super-cool final boss, so he imitates him when HE’S the final boss because That’s How Cool Final Bosses Act, and I think that’s beautiful

legit though this game’s writing is so absurdly good; it doesn’t TELL you Asriel is childish, it SHOWS you, and it only becomes obvious when you look at it later cuz in the moment, the first time, you’re totally brought into Asriel’s imagination for that final battle

I give it a week before Frisk regrets it

Oh fuck it's getting worse

My head hurts cus I'm a dumbass and had too much coffeeeeee

Reverse phantom au: Danny is a ghost that suddenly gains the ability to take on a living form. Instead of starting as a human and gaining a ghost half, he’s a ghost that gains a human half.

Maybe he was native to the ghost zone and had never been human, like how canon Danny had always been alive. Or maybe he was once human and he died at age 14 a long long long loooong time ago. In that case instead of half-dying like in canon, he’s halfway resurrected (main difference between him and a zombie being that he switches back and forth).

At first it may seem underwhelming because to us humans, the dp ghosts are so op and fantastical. But now Danny’s growing/aging (again?), he has the full range and fluidity of human emotions, he can blend in with society in this whole new (or newly returned-to) works.

Anyway I think the reverse au accident would still involve the creation of the portal. When the creators (could still be Maddie and Jack, I haven’t thought it through) first try to turn it on it doesn’t completely fail. There’s the beginnings of a rift, but it doesn’t have the juice to completely breach the veil. Danny notices the disturbance in the atmosphere and floats on up to it. He doesn’t mean to make contact but when he inevitably does, the proto-rift reacts with his energy and opens the portal the rest of the way.

Danny passes out and when he first wakes up he realizes he has jet black hair and dull blue eyes.

watching Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 felt like saying goodbye to my high school friend group before we all left for different colleges, knowing that while we might keep in touch, we were never going to be this group ever again, and a huge chapter of our lives was over...and i can't remember the last time i cried that much in the theater.

perfect send-off. thank you James Gunn 💜

I really wish we got more post reveal stories.

I mean just imagine the DRAMA of it all.

Mr Lancer: as you all can see this is a fine example of the existential crisis Poe was emerged in as the years marched closer to his death.... *pauses because he notices Danny isn't paying attention* Daniel you'll need to be able to explain what an existential crisis is for the test. Internal strife was driving force for many of the writers during this Era.

Danny: my existence walks a thin tightrope between life and Death. How the heck do you think I dont know what a existential crisis is? I have them almost monthly???

Mr Lancer: I....we really need to find a new school guidance counselor.

Danny: *eyes wide* no we absolutely do not

--------

*Sam, Tucker, and Danny crowed around Mr. Lancers desk*

Tucker: Danny's brain is being stupid so he can only talk in ghost speak till it fixes itself.

Danny: *spouts gibberish, clearly annoyed that tucker called him stupid*

Mr Lancer: *raises eye brows* I will give you points for creativity Mr. Fenton but Participation is still part of your grade. You can't get out of it that easily.

Danny: *spouting worried giberish, trying and failing to defend himself.*

Sam: Mr. Lancer he's not faking this to get out of class.

Mr. Lancer: then why hasn't he done this in class before now? You can't just use your abilities to get out of work now that everyone knows Mr. Fenton.

Tucker: you haven't seen it before because Danny would skip class out of fear!!

Mr Lancer: *blinks in surprise, mouth opening and closing like a fish as his brain processes the new information* I am sorry Danny I didn't realize...that makes sense....Ill make sure to accommodate you better from now on.

Danny: *smiles softly and says what must of been the ghost speak equivalent of a sincere thank you*

Mr. Lancer: Though I will say this is an odd thing to happen. Is it frequent?

Sam: not as much as it used to be. We think Dannys brain has a hard time masking as just either a ghost or a human sometimes. so it just jumbles the two things together and he gets stuck with a random ghost attribute.

Tucker: yeah its why he wears shades for his "migraines " sometimes. Those were to hide his scary eyes when he couldn't get them to go back to normal.

Mr. Lancer: Scary ey- *Danny flashes his eyes and startles Mr. Lancer so bad that he falls out of his desk chair.*

Danny: *shouts in gibberish and quickly floats over the desk to offer to help his teacher up off the ground*

Mr. Lancer: *hesitently takes the hand of his very human looking but still floating student and pulls himself up* this is going to take getting used to.

-----

Mr. Lancer: *looks up from the glowing document he was just handed* I dont think this counts as a permission slip.

Observant: Thats because its not, its...i suppose the best human word would be a subpoena.

Mr. Lancer: WAIT, WHAT?? *Leans to the side so he can make eye contact with Danny who's currently looking like he wants to be anywhere but here* Mr. Fenton why are you being summoned by some type of ghostly court of law?????

Observant: *cutting Danny off before he can say anything* because as current king he is judge, jury, and even executioner if he so sees fit. We can not continue without him there.

Everyone in the classroom: KING??????!!!?!!??

Wes: y'all are really gonna skip over the executioner bit there?

---------

Danny: I am really sorry but this festival only happens once a cycle and I really need to be there.

Mr. Lancer: absolutely not. You need to present your presentation on your cultural roots that Day.

Danny: wait so let me get this straight. Your going to make me miss something that is significantly important in my culture to talk about culture.

Mr lancer: Your culture? Daniel your not a ghost.

Danny: *shocked* not a ghost..... *changes into phantom and starts floating.* didn't realize humans could fly now.
