Posting this DRY take I found here because I'm too lazy to deal with 4chan's 1 file limit

>>486 Not him, but I remember seeing this in the /vrpg/ thread and I liked it. I hadn't seen that screencap before, so going into it blind I think you did an excellent job drip-feeding the scenario. Very good use of "show, don't tell" and allowing readers to infer and deduce based on context clues. Can't think of anything to improve upon since I'm a dumb speedreader and thought it was fine as-is

> I like...got them new collars! The poor collages of electric wiring, discarded rotting paint and metal plates seemed as suffocating at they did tetanus-inducing. The groundhog gulped at Jerm in silent pleading, about as effective as all the other pleading he's been privy to the majority of his life. He took note of the adam's apple, thin and more like a shaved avocado seed, for reference. It was, if not pleasurable, relieving to have his artistic eye overtake his underfed stomach. > *That's good, Miss Catty.* > *Just make sure to make them looser next time.* > I tried! > They keep like, biting them off! > ...Why'd you call me miss? > *Respect. You're t'leader of this group.* > Jerm, I was with you as a baby! > I'm basically like your second... > Sorry. > *Yeah.* > She'll be back. I know she will. > If I can remember her. That's all I have to do. She scratched at the denim patches on her dress, a scant sign of blue next to the leather padding and fading tie dye that marked the band of the Tailor—what she was called when one couldn't risk saying "Lizard" and were too kind to call her the somehow less affectionate nickname, "The Tattered." > *I'll be off soon.* > Okay...

>I'll, like, just take a good nap. Catty dabbed at her cracked nose. Even for her less-than-dignified lifestyle, Mettaton's style of partying was a lot to get used to and if anything it's gotten worse as the weeks go by. She hoped to sniffle longer, thicker, until she couldn't smell that familiar chicken bouillon that talked down to her from above. It took about two minutes to take effect. Lust would be wonderful. Nausea would be preferable. Angel knows her stomach cannot take much more of the alternative. The tawny yellow, oversized eyes of Alphys' statue blur as her vision gradually loses focus. How long will she, like, live? She never thought about it before. Death never felt real to her until this very moment. She can't think like this. It's bad. She devours those scavenged noodle cups with her nose, before there was a Mettaton to produce a product that had about the same texture but lacked that final last stand in the back of your throat while your friend, like, yaps about whatever, and hopes she won't pass out before she makes it home. [I couldn't find a lot of these in the archives(if me being the author of the King Mettaton AND Axetale greens wasn't obvious enough already) so anyone who remembers the others is free to post them themselves]

>>982 Can the hospital be entered after the Holiday house sequence?

>>983 unsure, Im gonna check that

>>979 There is evidence for a lot of people because tricky toby likes teasing us. I don't think anyone can prove who's actually the knight, but Dess has the most narrative value because of their relationship with Kris and because they're otherwise not present. Unrelated note, thoughts on this theory? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np-wuPXZRHU >Objects in dark worlds that connect to the light world like doors and windows retain their connection and function as long as the connection is open. >This is why closing the castle town door ensures it will never open again, and why the internet had to be out for the computer lab dark world to form. <Kris's phone is responsible for the connection between his soul and the player. >That's why it doesn't transform into a darkner, why Susie and Noelle can hear his voice when he's knocked out, and why Kris's voice is described as like static. >Kris acts more freely in the light world because rather than receiving the signal from his phone, he receives it directly and faintly from the bunker. I can't believe it completely. It'd be too much of a stretch to say nobody noticed that Kris isn't actually speaking. This isn't Zero Time Dilemma, I expect the twists to be rooted in some kind of reason. There are bits of it that I really like though, and it explains why the soul alone isn't enough to control Susie, Kris also has to be present. Implication is that if we're making Noelle our vessel, we'll have to either give Noelle Kris's phone or somehow connect to the bunker using her phone.

>>945 >nerf gun boi kek

>>835 are you sure those are plotholes? They dont necessarily seem like plotholes

>>836 what would classify as a plothole then?

>>837 something that goes against the stories narrative logic. For example: > if gerson's wife in UT was a human, then where is ms boom in UT? did he marry her after the barrier? does alvin exist in UT? what about the human in DR? does she exist there? did he outlive her or didn't even meet her? This doesnt necessarily go against the stories logic. This seem less things that contradict the narrative but more so things that we dont know about the overall world. An actual plothole in the other hand would be: >ut establishes humans dont exist in the underground except for a few people >there are seven-eight humans recorded so far >if there was an extra human flowey would have known about them and gotten there soul >oh wait its revealed that dess is human and is alive >but wait that contradicts the games narrative because theres no way she would be human >if she was human then she would have been taken by flowey and possibly known by the underground

dess is chara

>>819 human dess is a wack theory posting better dess sprites

>>520 I'm glad kris wasn't the knight, that was a lame theory but he is still working with the knight

>>511 Because Kris knight is a lot more interesting than a whodunnit mystery and I wanted to see where a story with the protagonist also playing the role of the main villain would go. Now it seems like Kris is still somewhat of an antagonistic force on top of a cool knight reveal so I'm fine with being wrong.

So is this thread now for chapter 5 waiting? Newsletter said it might be in late 2026 so here's to one more year of WAIT Seriously how mismanaged Toby is, chapter 5 was being worked on alongside 3 and 4 wasn't it?

I saw this get brought up on /vrpg/ and thought it was really entertaining. It's a meme fic about Asgore running for Hometown mayor. For context, it was written on stream by a UT YouTuber with suggestions taken from viewers, but I've never watched the streams myself. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45942670/chapters/115638541

>>797 I will check it out

I pretty much only read kanaclover fics Recommending the usual Shattered Decade, Return to Form and anything with the Kanako and Clover tag

I don't think therefore I ain't

>>687 canon dess will look a lot uglier than all the fanart and I am not ready to be disappointed by it

>>688 shes going to look like carol...........

>>688 >uglier

>>563 yeah thats a very accurate description of what probably happened. They just didnt think about it. Like some other things

currently replaying the game and have reached snowden. Read dalvs dialogues. Reading the dialogues after knowing about the ending is a painful expirence. Reading how dalv values clover as a friend and how he hopes to meet him in his next birthday. Reading the shit about dalvs original friend dissapearing one day. And remembering how ceroba is connected to these two things. Its reviving my negative feelings towards roba welp lets see if my negative feelings continue as i replay the game. Or i will grow to forgive her

>>595 maybe the devs should have given dalv more screentime instead of wanking to roba so much they could have added some sidequests to previous areas so at least the fast travel system made more sense, there is just no reason to ever use it/go back
