I wish each individual chapter of a fic on AO3 had the date when it was posted, rather than just when the fic was first posted and when the last update was.
That way you can see at a glance how often a WIP is updated, whether it’s fairly regularly or with huge long gaps between chapters; or if the first 20 chapters were posted in quick succession but the most recent couple were posted at long intervals, indicating that the writer is losing interest and may not finish, etc.
*This is a two part theory. The first part is a theory that you may have heard before, but it ties into the second theory, so it’s a necessary refresher. Hopefully, the second part is something new and mind-blowing. If it isn’t, then I offer you a conciliatory egg (terms and exclusions apply).
*In UNDERTALE, there are seven human SOULs, six of which we are able to see during the course of the game. We know the names and colors of these SOULs: Integrity (Blue), Perseverance (Purple), Patience (Cyan), Kindness (Green), Justice (Yellow), Bravery (Orange). Since the fallen human, Frisk’s SOUL is colored red when it appears for battle, it has long been assumed that the seventh SOUL color is Red paired with the trait of Determination.
*There are a few problems with this theory. The first issue that arises involves the SOUL colors being associated with the words. When the SOUL trait of Bravery is mentioned (during Ball Game) it appears in the color Orange. When Determination is mentioned in the game, the color used is Gold, not Red. Entry Number 5 in the True Lab describes Determination as the “will to keep living” and the “resolve to change fate.” In the game, Save Points, which epitomize Determination, are also colored Gold.
*The best evidence for the Determination SOUL being Gold rather than Red occurs when we compare this screenshot from Undertale:
*with this screenshot from Deltarune:
*Though they aren’t quite in the same order, the flowers in Deltarune correspond with the human SOULs from Undertale, and the seventh flower is Gold. This reinforces the theory that the color of Determination is Gold, not Red. So why is Frisk’s SOUL Red during battles, and why is Kris’ SOUL Red when they remove it and throw it into the cage?
*I have a theory (below the cut):
*Here’s the tea (in theory). Red is the color that a human SOUL turns when a Player is controlling it. It’s not a trait color. It’s a unique magic color not associated with a SOUL trait at all.
*The first evidence of this theory starts at the beginning of the game. You are asked to choose a name for the Fallen Human. We know the character that we play as is named Frisk, so this doesn’t really make sense, does it? If you choose the name Frisk, you activate Hard Mode, which ends at the Ruins. Odd. Unless… Frisk, the character we play, is not the same as us, the Fallen Human.
*What could this mean? It could mean that we, humans, have Fallen into Undertale… the game. This also implies that Frisk is, in fact, a nonbinary character and does not use they simply because they are our avatar.
*The next evidence involving the color Red is Ball Game. The words Ball Game appear in Red, while each SOUL trait appears in its corresponding color. You are awarded a red flag for completing the game. If you get the red flag more than once, you are reminded:
*Interestingly enough, you cannot play Ball Game in the Genocide Route. Also, in the Genocide Route, when you look in the mirror, it says “It’s me, <the name you chose>.” This seems to indicate that when you play that Route, you are doing something which does not fall into Frisk’s character since in the other Routes when Frisk looks in the mirror it says “It’s you.” Also, in the True Pacifist epilogue, once we are no longer controlling Frisk’s important decisions, the mirror says:
*The strongest evidence (in my opinion), is presented during our battles with Papyrus (and Sans), Undyne, Muffet, and Mettaton. The human SOUL changes colors and this affects how the SOUL acts in battle. It is possible that Frisk has a Gold SOUL which is colored Red because you (the Player) are controlling it. Another interesting fact is that during Undyne’s battle, the action that you cannot use (FLEE) and the strategy you (the Player) need to use to win are presented in the color Red.
*This also ties into Deltarune. When Kris rips the SOUL out of their chest, it is Red… and you (the Player) are able to move it within the cage! In Deltarune, there seem to be an awareness of a Player controlling the actions of the characters (some text which indicates that they are dissatisfied with decisions or actions). Kris may be removing the Player-controlled SOUL because they are aware of it.
*This has some interesting implications considering what happens afterwards. After our control is removed, Kris would supposedly now, finally, be in control of themself… and it’s a bit scary.
(Hoping @nochocolate sees this even though they are not active.)
I drew him for the first time last night using a reference because I couldn't come up with any original pose or scene. Okay can I talk about that for a sec, idk if im the only one like this but for new characters that have never drawn before or don't know much upon I struggle the most to draw especially Au's because I am not use to drawing them. Lol I didn't even know about nightmare or dream before watching underverse @jakei95 (ps love your work) I wasn't really even to big on au's besides underswap, underfell and ink Sans, and to be honest I didn't even know much on ink's origins just that he was colorful and protected the au's before watching it.....wait where was I going with this? Anyways I'm not going to post the drawing from last night because sure I freehanded it and changed things around since my style of drawing Sans is different from theres but it is still the same concept right? Like I wouldn't feel right especially since I don't think the artist has a tumbler so I couldn't give them the proper credit other than posting the original here and saying "oh yeah this is the original" I mean I couldn't even find an original source other than amino and they aren't the artist.
To say the least I had fun, the story is really intriguing to say the least and I feel like I'm going to have to look into more AUs now XD I think I may draw something tonight and post it tomorrow but idk
Lol sorry for rambling, but tell me how you feel about that!
always wear your seatbelt....or not I'm not your mom
I hope everyone layed off finds a new job. Thank you for the joy that you brought to my life and many others...We will miss you!
Hello all, I have some very sad news to share.
Recently my boyfriend, James, mom underwent surgery and she did not wake up from it despite their best efforts. Last night she passed away. They live in South Carolina which is currently being bombarded by Hurricane Florence. We both want to go over there and visit his family and pay our respects but can’t until the storm is over. I WOULD like to go with him but we will already be hard pressed with bills and his own ticket. I am very sorry to ask but if anyone could donate to my Kofi that would help us so much. I will have to allocate doctor’s appointments, have a family check on my mom, find someone to watch my dog but I need to be there for James.
If you can’t donate that is alright. I know money can often be tight but if you could perhaps boost this it would be appreciated. In return I will do a raffle after I come back alongside Kinktober. The raffle could be three prizes, one art, one fic, one drabble.
Thank you everyone and I am sorry to bother
I dont even bother anymore smh
@ut-stuff It's okay! This happened to me like a week ago out of no where in the middle of my lecture and I needed to step out too. First off people do care and love you! When you talk about your friends on here and they seem like good people. You might have left the bathroom already but if you haven't dont leave until you feel ready. Maybe play some games on your phone or play with your hair in the mirror anything really to distract or calm yourself down and maybe even help with the shaking. If that doesn't help text someone and tell them where you are it wouldn't hurt! And lastly if you miss to much class just talk to your professor. I know what you might be thinking but please, let them know so they can learn to notice when or if you are going to have an episode and when you need to be excused. Then after your lecture you can talk to them and receive what you might have missed. Geez I'm running about 10 mins late but I needed to get this out x3
We love you smol bean! Have a beautiful day ^-^
(If there are any spelling error sorry I'm in a rush:3)
