Took this funny lil quiz about Undertale Music that popped up on my dash and got ASGORE...pretty epic! It's a feelings-having song, in my mind. Dramatic, too. Perhaps I am like this one more than I realize? Really I'd like to be any of the songs, though, cuz I enjoy practically the whole ost lol
You should share your silly little guy lore :D
KYAHAHAHA!!! You've fallen into my trap! Now y'all MUST listen to a patented Ink Ramble^TM once again!
Okay, okay, so!! Since the lore for this lad is relatively new and I still don't know everything about DSAF, there might be some things missing, but I'm gonna try my best!
They're a Spirit who's inhabited the Flipside for as long as it can remember, drifting between the different layers and watching life in the Real World go by! They exist throughout all the different timelines and endings (through temporal soul shenanigans that I will explain later), and can do that thing that Dave does with being able to see through Davetrap's eyes into the living plane, but in a way that's more like astral-projecting themself into a Fazbender's location to interact with other characters!
It acts much like your standard poltergeist, causing mischief and being spooky, but she's actually not inherently malicious. His behavior is moreso spurred on by boredom and lacking true purpose until someone starts causing problems for the restaurant. When this happens, they'll leave the Flipside and make a point to annoy whoever is causing havoc into having morals!
They're also a bit like Jack and Blackjack in the sense that they're "a soul separated from a body," but, the thing is, it never had a human form in the first place. Its ultimate goal is to get a human body to possess and "become a whole person!" However, when he's tried to find bodies in the past, none of them have quite stuck. There's always some force keeping her from staying in any one form for too long, like a repellent that's meant to get rid of pests. Or maybe there's just some tie that can't be severed between a body and a soul that was unfairly ripped away, such as with Fazbender victims...
Anyways, moving away from that sad stuff, onto the aforementioned temporal soul shenanigans! I'm taking a few liberties with this, cuz although we learn a good amount about the nature of souls from Henry's tapes, anomalies certainly can exist, with my lad being a prime example of such! They're not a clear soul of a child anymore, but I'd like to think that they started out as just a little, goopy thing floating around the Flipside, with no one to talk to or acknowledge their existence. Over time, they grew more saturated, yet not as dark as the souls that come from an adult's regret/deeper emotional palette. It does experience strong feelings, though, and has a portion of itself that came from the regret of witnessing the atrocities committed in various locations, but not being able to do anything about it. Without a body to act with and a weak grip on reality most of the time, it couldn't do much else but watch, y'know?
The main thing that causes them to travel through time and space, however, is the fluctuations in control it experiences with the large amount of energy it has in the culmination of its being. Confused yet?? Me too! Lol. Ahem, what I mean is that their soul has a large amount of energy contained in an unstable vessel. They obviously have no physical body to contain the power that they have, which I believe correlates to one's manifestation in the Flipside. I say this because we see characters like Peter and Steven who are still phone-heads in the Flipside despite being humans initially. It's an "if, then" statement imo. "If I was a phone-head in the real world, then I am a phone-head in the Flipside." Since the first part of this type of statement doesn't exist for my lad, they don't have anything to base their looks or strength/stamina off of. This fluidity of stability then causes temporal dissonance to occur, because, like Henry describes in his tapes, if a soul has enough strength (or strength in a given moment), it'll be able to move through time and space! Through this random movement which they can't control at first, they get pushed to different timelines and endings!!
Their behavior can change with each ending, too! I'm gonna use DSAF 3 as an outline to what they might do, mostly cuz there's more content to work with lol. Here are some exaples of how they may change!
•If the player proceeds with the Evil/Legacy Route, the Spirit becomes restless and upset, which leads to it appearing sometime after Dave's death and berating the player so that "YOU NEVER KNOW PEACE" after becoming a vessel for Henry. However, if a few other criteria (that I haven't figured out yet ^-^") are met, the Spirit will be sent on a journey of self-doubt and discovery that's prompted by the question: "Where did I, as a being that was never meant to exist, yet created by someone/something regardless, come from?" This causes it to learn about the Joy of Creation, leading to a line of reasoning that the monster person responsible for orchestrating all the tragedy across numerous locations must be their inventor, because this tragedy is all they've ever known. [I'm still working out the exact logic of this timeline, but I hope I got the general idea across!]
"SINCE I AM A CReated being and HENRY is a Creator, he must be my Origin..."
•When the player gets the neutral end, the Spirit is mostly just...disappointed. Sure, the player ran a successful restaurant and saved the modern image of Fazbender's, but that's nothing compared to helping free souls and defeating a great evil! They might encourage the player to chose a different path in order for something better to happen, but if the player doesn't listen to him, she'll either watch from the sidelines with a miserable attitude, or become a problem for the restaurant in order to spark a change of heart.
"YOU HAVE AMOUNTED TO NOTHING. how can you be proud? none have achieved their happiest day. it's all MEANINGLESS."
•For the Good End, the Spirit commends the player on their work to save everybody's souls and get closure! Yay! (Honestly, I still have to think about this route some more, but I do have an idea of how it all gets resolved.) At the very end, I can see the Spirit being content with everything going up in flames, even grateful that a few more people were released from suffering despite the fact that it can't follow them. However, this state of calm probably wouldn't last long, and they'd be shoved through time yet again so as to keep existing as they are instead of fading away like everything else.
"i cannot ASCEND with you all. I WILL WATCH AS IT BURNS AND SIMPLY REMAIN AS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. THOUgh...PeRhaps I was too harsh with some of you. Thank you. For all that you have done."
And that's nearly everything about this lad that I have so far! I hope y'all like my silly lil guy!!
LOOK AT THIS!!! MOST WONDROUS!!! POSITIVELY CHEWING ON YOUR ART FRIEND!!!
This took so long to draw but DAMN was it worth it!
Prev infected me with an evil space parasite that turned my life into a musical!! /ref
Open tags alsoooo :3
Just fucking lie about the previous poster
When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! Then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). You never know who might benefit from spreading positivity ❤️
Ooooo, an Anon Ask that's probably chain mail or something? Little do they know that I try and answer most everything I'm asked cuz I enjoy engagement on this site! And I will instead tag some mutuals and make this a positive little game! Ahem, here goes!!
My friends!!! Hiiiii everyone! I love interacting and being with both my virtual and non-online buddies, because they are the best! Each of my friends get to claim pieces of my brain like a community garden lol.
2. Music! It's everywhere, and everything to me!! I've got so many favorite songs 'n genres, and it's really a part of my life I could never ever live without. I heart music forever :3
3. Food! Now, I know not everyone is a foodie, but I definitely am! Cooking and baking are great bonding activities imo, and you can learn a lot about the world (and people around you) by watching what kinds of cuisines cross over tables!!
4. Mushrooms! Not necessarily for eating, I just think they are cool! I have two lovely books on mycology and fungi that I need to dedicate some more time to, and upon completing them, I will become the Mushroom Master! Mwahaha! XD
5. Plush toys & stuffed animals!! I have a tiiiiiiny problem with how many I've collected lol, but I cherish them all dearly and am 100% willing to go into debt for some cool plushies. If I am not holding them in my arms or nestling in a pile of them on my bed, then they are in The Birdcage for my viewing enjoyment!
Phew, now that my spiel is all over with, time to tag some lovely mutuals! Feel free to answer as much or as little as you want in this lil game; I'm just curious about what might make people happy :]]
