Homestuck it is then wow. motivation hit so I'm making both anyway I got concepts. in my brain.

Hi @worrysomegus I hope it’s okay I drew fanart of your creature

friday night <3

fuck my entire life

this would also be able to tie in with the guessable age of papyrus (his username on his computer being CoolSkeleton95- possibly alluding to his birth(?) year in the 2X95 BEFORE frisks falling) as well as napstablook's being Napstablook22 being date of birth OR death very much prior to frisk's falling, yet they don't seem to clue on about frisk being human either.

Do you have a timeline for when you believe the humans fell underground (including Chara + Frisk)?

Well not necessarily anything specific. just a few things that mark some VERY wide margings for what i have in mind

Chara fell in 201X, as per the calendar with the circled date.

This was after the Dreemurrs (and thus monsterkind in tow) already left Home to explore the rest of the mountain and settled in New Home. This is deduced by the wall writings in Waterfall, which bemoan the underground's inaccessibility, saying there's no way a human could ever make its way down there.

So New Home already existed (or was soon going to be founded, if the plaques were written while the monsters were still exploring) before any human had fallen into the Underground at all.

However! The childhood room in Home is referred to as Asriel's room in both the game files and in the art book (the screenshot is from the Home segment of the book)

Which would mean Asriel was born close enough in time to the monsters' banishment to be alive when they migrated further into the caverns (and to already have personal interests, like astronomy), and that he was likely snooping around his previous home in the RUINs by chance when he found Chara.

I think Chara spent a LOT of time with the Dreemurrs... but less so chronologically. They likely had reset powers like all humans who fall into the Underground as a consequence of their high DT (from the Undertale Legends of Localization book):

(I actually think this was the intended implication with their inappropriately light approach to death and pain, ie: laughing in that one videotape about making Asgore sick), so I like to think that, while they obviously stuck around for a long time, they techincally were only with the Dreemurrs for 1, maybe 2 linear years. Which would explain why they seem... hesitant to call them their child/sibling. From their perspective, it was too soon for those words at the time. Either that or Chara was uncomfortable with familiar terms for whatever reason. I tend to ping-pong between the two.

Chara dies and so does Asriel -> Asgore cringe comp -> Toriel bails.... And then bam, the next humans start falling down.

l think the entire affair took centuries in total. Surely a lot of time, enough for most commonplace monsters to have no idea what a human looks like

At LEAST one century, that is, but that is the barest minimum. There's this one line in the date with Sans at MTT resort when he's talking about his first meeting with Toriel:

Now I'm not saying Sans is aware of what's going on or that this makes incanon sense, but knowing UT's propensity for tragically poetic irony, this feels like one of those occasions.

I in my personal chronology, the humans fell either 1 or 2 per century, putting Toriel's exile between 300 and 600 years long.

The order? uhhhhh. dw about it

Thus, Frisk falls down in 2X15. Monsters are freed, everyone is happy. Yay yayay ^_^ yippee. The End.

au where graystripe and darkstripe are actually brothers

Spock/Kirk fanfiction recs for @merryfinches (and anyone else who’s interested)

I am a TOS girlie but I do enjoy a reboot/AOS fic too.

Something Smart to Do - kianspo

A very sweet M-rated 5+1 where Spock and Kirk get fake-married on the regular.

Treasures - yeaka

E-rated Pon Farr fic. Romantic but also hot as hell. Cute idea about Jim serving on a Vulcan ship and all the other Vulcans being jealous of Spock.

The Lotus Eaters - aldora89

A novel length fic that is genuinely one of my favourite works of fiction ever. The world building is incredible and the plot is so gripping. And the romance! *swoon*

The Squire of Eros - aldora89

Another brilliant work by this writer. This fic really perfectly captures the tone of TOS and is really sweet and funny.

The Bond - WhatIfImaMermaid

A sweet sexy fic featuring amnesia and fake/real bonding.

master of a nothing place - strzyga

This one is basically PWP lol. Spock goes feral on an away mission. Kirk is there for the ride.

I’ll add some more if I remember!

isnt Senjogahara attracted to Araragi in a very gender neutral way?

yeah i think she would have fallen in love with Koyomi regardless of gender, or really, anyone who was able to do what Koyomi did— that being, help her with her problems selflessly, while still leaving it up to her to truly settle things, as that's the only way she could truly deal with her own problems

hell, we know for a fact that Koyomi isn't Hitagi's type, since she admits that she prefers older men, so i don't think a girl is that much further astray than he already is
