Odysseus: Hello! I’m Here To Offer My Hand In Marriage To Helen.

Idk if I can properly put into words why I love cocoapowder so much but I’ll try

It’s really all about Chara’s arc in Undertale Red & Yellow and how by being forced to walk around and interact with Frisk and Clover, they slowly develop a friendship with the two by simply just talking and being themself

Chara did not have a very high opinion of themself, and Chara also isn’t really a fan of stopping to smell the roses. They get upset if Frisk walks off the normal path, and they bring themself down whenever they have the chance to. They feel guilty about what they did to Asriel, and completely unempathetic in the geno run

After failing to free monster kind, Chara is submissive to the whims of Frisk’s decisions and simply just encourages progression no matter the route being taken, because they don’t believe they have the right to agency anymore (until the end of the geno run)

And then you add Clover to the mix. Clover who’s experienced a lot of hurt in their past and chooses to spread love and kindness and affection instead. Clover’s sense of justice comes from meeting aggression with friendship and trying to turn people around to reveal the best sides of themselves. Clover does this with Chara, and they don’t initially get along very well. They’re stuck with each other, however, and they bond a little over having shared experiences in the Underground and comparing them to Frisk’s journey

It’s through the True Pacifist route that Chara realizes something: Clover is better than them. They both sacrificed their souls to free all monsters, but one of them actually proved “useful.” Clover believes in a righteous sense of justice that insists on redemption rather than karma, and Clover is willing to give Frisk another chance even after multiple geno runs. Clover also isn’t afraid to snap back against a bad decision, which is why they stop you at the end of every geno

Clover is insufferably different from Chara, and yet over the course of Frisk’s journey they become friends. Not only that, but Clover feels free to openly flirt with Chara and they don’t bat an eye

And Chara starts to believe it when Clover says they deserve to love themself, and that they deserve to forgive themself, and that no matter what mistakes they’ve made in the past, they’re a good person

I have no doubt in my mind that at the end of the True Pacifist route, Clover wishes Chara could come back too, because they definitely believe Chara deserves to live. It’s so interesting to place Clover and Asriel across from each other at the flower bed. They both knew Chara, one in life and one in death, and yet they both knew two different Charas

Asriel talks about how Chara wasn’t the best person and that he idolized them growing up, but he outright expresses that Chara was a bad friend and that Frisk is their perfect counterpart. Clover refutes this and says that Chara is good, and has always had good intentions. Clover never idolized Chara but saw them for who they were, flaws and all, and admired them anyway

Chara and Clover have deep conversations that Chara never could have with Asriel, because Asriel was just a silly kid who didn’t understand the gravity of their plan. Chara hates themself for that plan, because they realized they shouldn’t have put that burden on a child. What Chara doesn’t realize is they were a child too, one with a foolish dream of saving the world through a noble and just sacrifice

And they see Clover, who did the same thing. A child who sacrificed their existence for a greater cause. Clover didn’t deserve that. But Chara respects their decision. Chara is happy when they come back at the end, and their smile speaks volumes

There’s this deeper connection between Chara and Clover that just makes them perfect for each other. Their opposites-attract dynamic met with their shared experiences, admiration for each other, and witty banter they share throughout. I love Cocoapowder 💕

TCF Hunter Families

So in order to keep track of all the Hunter branches and what each of them do, I created a comprehensive list with the all the current information we have on them. Enjoy!

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

1) Branch: Black Bloods Name: Huayan Family ("Fayence" in Adar Terra's raw translation) Last Occupied World: Xiaolen Specialty: "White Magic", aka. dead mana based Black Magic which appears white and is more powerful than regular Black Magic Status: Defeated 2) Branch: Blue Bloods Name: Blood Cult Last Occupied World: Central Plains Specialty: Jiangshi, aka. zombies created by injecting special dead mana into a person's heart, can be made even out of living people; which are called "Living Jiangshi" Status: Defeated 3) Branch: Purple Bloods Name: Currently Unknown, but located in the "Holy Empire" Last Occupied World: Aipotu (Adar Terra's raw translation) Specialty: Dragon heritage, including mixing human and dragon blood, and control over powers of nature Status: Soon to be engaged in combat 4) Branch: Transparent Bloods Name: Currently Unknown, but located in "Transparent Co." Last Occupied World: Earth 3 Specialty: Perhaps something to do with virtual reality…? Still very limited information on them. But Anh Roh Man, aka. Taerang's creator, is related to them. (Perhaps "Anh" is their family name? We will see.) Status: Still fully operational 5) Branch: Five Colored Bloods Name: Currently Unknown, but possibly includes Park So Jin and Jung Yi-Rang (aka. the two who tried to kill Cale in the Sloth Test) Last Occupied World: None, as they seem to be dimensional travelers with no permanent residence Specialty: Wanderers, with possibly god level powers Status: Still fully operational

The last two branches are supposed to be "gone", so they no longer really count as the Hunters, but I'm including them anyway:

6) Branch: Red Bloods Name: Thames Last Occupied World: Nameless 1 (and possibly others, depending where Cale's thief of an uncle ran off to) Specialty: Research branch? Kind of unclear. We'll see if there's any developments Status: In hiding 7) Branch: White Bloods Name: Currently Unknown Last Occupied World: Currently Unknown Specialty: Currently Unknown Status: Elimnated

(Now with visual aid)

"quit your job"

"why"

"join our polycule"

Had a dream last night that Satoru and Daifuku's cure designs had been revealed in some sort of trailer for the second half of the season. Everyone freaking LOVED Daifuku's design, but we're slandering Satoru's, and there was just so much discourse about it. Let's hope I'm not prophetic lol, I barely care what they look like, as long as they're magic

“You keep my brother safe out there tonight.”

Thank youuu @jamie-comic for this adorable comic!

Possibly Rogerson's strength is taking the same concept as another author but being able to move in a different direction with it.

Like, An Enchantment of Ravens at first glance has a lot in common with acotar but is INFINITELY better, not least by making the fae a lot more tied to folkloric concepts and just generally more alien. Vespertine isn't better than Sabriel (good luck being better than Sabriel) but the beginning is extremely similar even while it (thankfully) does its own thing after a few chapters.

Guess I have to read Sorcery of Thorns now

YOU GUYS!!!!

The reason why KOSA was declined LAST TIME was because people called continuously to senators and told them NOT TO ACCEPT THE BILL!!!! KEEP ON CALLING!!! KEEP ON SIGNING PETITIONS AGAINST KOSA!!! THESE INTERNET BILLS ARE NOT AT ALL GOOD!!!!! The government should NOT be keeping you all on parental controls on the INTERNET!!! KEEP ON CALLING!!! THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE WAYS!!!!

pinterest showed me some screenshots of posts that gave me the concept for an au where both harry and ron are sorted slytherin & draco is just slightly less rude in the first book. i could go into why i think this makes a lot of sense for ron but i won't. i've affectionately dubbed them the platinum quartet in my head and they will not leave me the fuck alone

Siren!Penelope: Yo, this sailor says he's afraid of the water?! How the hell am I supposed to work with that?!

Other Siren: I dunno, just roll with it!

Siren!Penelope: Sure, I guess. Also, what do you think? Boy dad or Girl dad?

Other Siren: Oh Girl dad! 99% sure!

Siren!Penelope: Let's hope it's not that 1%.

For the Clingy!Tallest Au thingy, alot of people asked what would happen if the Tallest found out about Dib hhngh so here it is fff More under the cut
