HAPPY 0905 DAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ooh It's this time of the year A very so merry night we hold dear So many, so many regrets bring me to tears Not many, not many notice nor care Oh, oh, oh, my saviour Oh, oh, oh Why does a common fire hold so much power? If only we could be forever naive and pure If only we could lead painless futures If only there could be a forgiving world

Maybe that was when I chose to stay fallen

Lights A star A voice A twisted thought A touch A kiss A distorted dream Ripples (ripples) A well (a well) A stone (a stone) A multiplying desire (desire) A fruit (a fruit) A sin (a sin) A holy mother I'm infected, I'm infected You have invaded and re-created me

Stepped over my body Found a sunny spot Curled into a ball Spinning out the silk From my head to toe Inside the warm cocoon, I dreamt to be like you Though I know there's no undo What do I have left to lose?

Split A sky An earth I fell into a crack (a crack) A birth (a birth) An egg (an egg) A freshly opened membrane A cell A rot A face returned to ashes A wound An art A sentient canvas

Breaking, breaking, breaking the shell Breaking out, oh break it now Show me how, show me how Listen up, my broken child Let's lament, let's lament The life, the death, the good, the bad The never ending curse we cast Control, control, control, release Control, betray, control, let go Conceal, reveal, unreal, surreal Invoke, evoke, decode, reload Let's lament, let's lament The past that only got to live in the incomplete holy land

Celestial (ayiah) We're astral (ayiou) I'm reborn (le rheaiah) Total liberation (katre o lamenta)

My tender skin A vagitus song (essential) I breathed (eventual) And screamed (eternal) From my new lungs (inevitable freeing of the soul)

when I said put anything in my ask box I wasn't expecting this (joking)

dead dove, do not eat!

Redoing poll due to poor wording

*sigh* something something the two-dimensionality of saeru's characterisation is a writing flaw, not a feature, and trying to pass it off as a feature whilst berating anyone who sees it as a flaw is uh. A Choice

okay i have been thinking about this for a while i am finally going to talk about it. every single time i play undertale i see this and go "oh flowey everything is wrong with u <3" cuz this is yet another case of his projection. he LOVES to project and i think a lot about how he so firmly believes everything is his fault-- whether that's chara's death or his parents grieving or literally anything else. and i think a lot of it is part of how much he cares about everyone... he's convinced that if only he had done everything right then everything would be fine.

he believes either the fault lies in him doing something wrong, or life is just "unfair". he even says in this exact scene that if only "you" had gone through without caring about anyone, you wouldn't have to feel this way now. if only he hadn't made chara care about him, if only he hadn't cared about chara. if only his parents didn't love him so much, they wouldn't have to feel this way now. so he subconsciously tries to get around this by convincing himself he doesn't care and can't care about anyone, despite that clearly not being true, given the alarm clock dialogue.

and in a similar way, as toriel is always a parallel for flowey, toriel attempts to do this by telling frisk not to come back. flowey and toriel don't really... deal with their emotions, they just shove them down and avoid it as best as they can. it's really interesting to see flowey's thoughts on toriel too; flowey doesn't understand why she keeps caring for humans when she keeps losing them. if she just didn't care then she wouldn't be feeling the way she does, right? toriel and flowey both innately want to take care of those around them and feel this great responsibility when things go wrong.

so he tells us it's all our fault for loving our friends. "being nice just makes you get hurt," as he says in the neutral end. so much of his mindset is rooted in how much he cares about his family, to the point where he seems to feel if only he didn't care it wouldn't hurt as much. something something opposite of it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. learning to love again and accept loss is such an important part of his character because of how his bereaved mindset left him feeling numb and resentful. the fact that he's able to say he's friends with frisk and that he's still tries to take care of toriel says sooo much about how much he's grown and it makes me wanna cry i love flowey so much he is the best character in anything <3

follow up to the commission question, so I’ve donated to some of the organizations aiding those in Gaza and was still interested in commissioning you, but would you prefer if people held back on doing so to instead donate to the organizations? I just don’t wanna step on your toes lol! thanks :)

you're not stepping on my toes at all, dw! I'll gladly take the commission since I'd love to write for you -- but I've decided to donate the proceeds to one of the organisations myself, if that's alright.

I started doing commissions before becoming aware of the situation so they weren't necessarily opened with donation in mind, but I think it'd be best if that's how things proceeded. I'll probably amend the announcement post to reflect this.

as for anyone else interested in commissioning me, do what you feel is best -- whether you'd prefer to donate the money yourself or donate it in exchange for my work, what ultimately matters is making a difference for palestinians and those facing similar circumstances. none of us are free until all of us are.
