Hank suddenly had ears and a tail

I wish more people gave Niko a bumpkin accent, like they literally live in the countryside and gave never been anywhere large, save the Refuge.

I've gotta ramble about The World Machine from OneShot or else I'll go MAD! Stupid obsessed rant about a fictional character below

As much as I miss Niko, I sort of miss The World Machine more. Niko's story is complete, they are home, safe, and sound, with their mother, eating pancakes, enjoying the wheat fields, etc. We don't see much of The World Machine after Solstice. We can replay OneShot, sure, using TWM's projected body of Niko as a puppet to play through a recording of our original journey over and over, but we never truly see The World Machine as they are, as their own person. What they have things they want to do with themselves now, their favorite and least favorite thing, if they want to be called by another name, even. Them, as a person, is never shown to us, the only glimpses being either their sassy and cold normal route depictions, or the one time we see them truly desperate, in Solstice. Do they love us, the Player? Do they harbor resentment towards us? Do they harbor resentment towards the Author for failing to notice either their growing sentience, and if he did know, do they resent the fact their task would be incredibly destructive to their mental state? (I know the Author didn't know, I was saying that from how TWM would probably look at it.) I wish that one day we get a look into their personhood, post-game. To see who they have become, how they feel about the World that they essentially are, or just if they've gotten any better than their initial realization at the end of Solstice, or if they're still in limbo, between hopelessness and the glimmer of hope given to them by Niko, and us. Are they content? Are they happy? I'd like to know one day.

Axis's last name should be Dreemurr because he is the GOAT

I need to follow up, and talk about...

The Ballad of Chef Mike.

So, basically, some night when Karis is really, really drunk and really, really sad he accidentally starts streaming on his phone, and all he does is nuke something in his microwave and drunkenly ramble for hours while he just microwaves things for way too long, sometimes he eats it, sometimes he doesn't. Eventually these streams actually gained a bit of a cult following because of how darkly funny that are to watch, and were dubbed "Chef Mike streams" in honor of the microwave, aka, the titular Chef Mike, and his hard work.

We still like oc content in the UT/UTY community, right? Like Oc x canon stuff? Too bad I'm sharing mine:

TW: Mentions of alcoholism

So, meet Gay Boy.

His name is Karis, pronounced Care-iss.

He's a type of Monster that I got the idea for in a dream, they're called Fiends, basically typical demon-esque type of monsters, big horns, sharp teeth, can safely be in really hot environment, all that, they even have tiny bat wings.

He used to be an engineer, a really successful one, too! He graduated high school and worked in the CORE for a while, originally doing boring paperwork stuff that he absolutely hated, but then went on to actually do engineering work, which he enjoyed much more, however it just wasn't really his thing. So, he moved on to the Steamworks! (Yes, his story is connected to UTY) This was his permanent workplace for many years to come, and he LOVED it! Mostly because his dream job was to me a mechanic and he got loads of that kind of work there, even invented the minigun in his spare time, but also because he had a FAT workplace crush. On Chujin. Ok pals here's where the oc x canon part comes in. Ever since high school, he's had the FATTEST crush on Chujin (see why I call him Gay Boy?) but, yknow, he kinda can't act on his feelings on account of Chujin being happily married, so he bottles his feelings up, after all, if Chujin is happy, he's happy! He's still a family friend after all, he'll be okay, if a little jealous.

Then Chujin dies. Oh boy then Chujin dies. He really goes off the deep end here. He's already been bottling up very aggressive feelings of love for years now, only for the person he was both pining for and genuinely good friends with to die, tragically, and the rest of the family fall apart soon after. He continued to bottle up his feelings, more and more, skipping work often to either stay home and drink, or go to a bar to drink, either way, he ended up passed out, only to wake up just as sad and repressed as before. It didn't help that he never felt like it was "his turn" to grieve, there were people closer to him, so he'd let them grieve before he could. It was never "his turn."

He has a soul trait attached to him, like if he had a boss fight, that being Patience, the thing that was ultimately his downfall. He never confessed when he had the chance in high school or fresh in the workforce, he never got it out while Chujin was still alive, and he never allowed himself grief after he died. He spiraled further and further until he quit his dream job, and moved to Snowdin, opening up a little curiosity shop where he'd sell the remaining things he made on the side during his career, and when he isn't at his shop, he's at home, drinking until he can't walk straight and can barely speak, only managing to sob.

Oh the things that come from never properly expressing your feelings when you had the chance.

Anyways uh yeah! I don't have lots of art of him or a proper reference, I'll make that later, so uhhh, take some assorted doodles of him

Mobile. Glowing Star and Comet for Gilbert!

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

Gilbert thinks about fate. Why has he fallen ill, why is this happening to Yharnam, is the Good Hunter destined to be here by the stars? Is everyone’s lives predetermined?

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

People assume that Gilbert is an almost completely introverted shut in.

…it’s more like Yharnamites in general kinda suck and Gilbert will only converse with fellow outsiders. Still, Gilbert is relatively introverted.

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

//Major In Stars and Time spoilers ahead! Be warned.

I headcanon that before all the events of ISAT and before Siffrin’s homeland just fucking blipped out of existence, they were royalty.

Loop, who is just another Siffrin with a somewhat different personality, tells them to address them with the “Royal We” when they meet. The We is foreshadowing to them being the same person, but the specification of “Royal” is a strange choice. It gives me the idea that, because if the fact Siffrin’s homeland worshipped the Universe, they saw themselves as only a part of some sort of Universal whole, meaning that, in this case, Royalty would be addressed as “We” as they are just a part if the universe.

So, TL;DR, Loop asks Siffrin at the beginning to use the “Royal We” both because they’re the same person, and because “We” was a pronoun reserved for Royalty in their homeland.
