Some Thoughts About The Dark!Robin That’s Been Going Around.

More on Anti and Flowey.

Okay the recent appearances are making me lean more and more toward the idea of Anti being similar to Flowey in some way, what with all the determination references (especially the look given today during DDLC), and with the recent game (Heartbound or something like that?) that bore a lot of similarities to Undertale. I would love for us to get sympathetic Anti that’s still done horrible things, that kind of character is hard to pull off and I love it.

okay but every face in this image shows a different emotion. some versions of mark are just shocked to see you - they might even be excited. the mark in the bottom left looks scared of you. the mark on the right side of the core looks upset.

and the mark at the control panel looks cold, and done with you.

this scene feels powerful to me for some reason??

idk just the thought of mark not giving up on building the warp core and spending the endless time doing it

just hits me right in the feels

So I hear we’ve got a new teaser image....

What are you up to, Sean?

Maybe because after wkm Wilford was a lot more broken than dark he kind of understands what it’s like to be trapped or controlled by him and that’s why he tries to help? Do you haven any ideas for why dark is keeping cc prisoner or is it just because he’s already been threatened by a new comer who he didn’t immediately deal with (anti) and he doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice?

I cri, thank you for that. lol

And I think that line of reasoning is good, and I think his imprisonment does stem from Dark needing to control and manipulate his environment. Dark is psychologically impaired (obviously) by his one-track mind and singular, obsessive objective. He will do anything and everything to hold power and control over Mark, and if that means holding captive and manipulating any remotely powerful being to work for him, he’ll do it. He has no more remorse or grief, hasn’t for a long time; he is fueled by rage alone. So torturing this young android? Totally in his ballpark.

I believe that Dark still has a softspot for Wilf, but only for him. And not enough of one to honor big requests, for instance, for the freedom of a captive. But Wilf’s influence does make CC’s stay a little easier.

Deceit’s Name.

Okay, so there seems to be some confusion, but I wanted pitch in. Deceit’s name isn’t “Janice”. It’s Janus, after the two-faced Roman god of deception thresholds and decisions (this is an edit, i goofed and got some gods mixed up!).

Hence this pose: 

which is not only a fun allusion to swearing in in court (”I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”), but is similar to a typical pose in art for Janus the god:

You know what I want? A temporary, heartbreaking Damien return. Dark’s about to kill us but is stopped by the part of him that is still Damien. Before he can kill it for good, Damien regains control briefly and saves us, promising that he really did want to help us, and that he knows he is losing/has lost himself, and he’s so so sorry, old friend, he won’t ask for your forgiveness. But he will spare you now. He tells us to run.

Because he cares.

he cares

And then there’s me:

She looked like sunlight on the water, warm and cold at the same time, eyes like whiskey and hair like ice, a too-soft cardigan over a Metallica t-shirt and ink all over her fingers when she reached for the book in my hand. When she spoke, it was like listening to the ice crack under your feet as you slip through to the freezing depths, or the first chord in a rock song shredded out on the steel strings of an electric guitar.

“Please let go of my book. You’re gonna rip it.”

Are you a “can’t write dialogue” writer or a “can’t describe anything” writer

Oh hello haha. You have a lovely blog. Hahahaha

What up demon? I’m curious about you all, but at the same time...concerned...

I’m not crazy right? We all saw that teaser in the Minecraft video today, right??? Right??????

I actually wrote a story about Tentoo getting older.

Bonus:

It’s not that he hadn’t expected the signs of aging - he just hadn’t expected them to happen so soon…

[Part of the TenToo Adventures series] —

(Random fact: I had actually planned to add a third scene where TenToo notices that he’s getting more wrinkles and pulls his face into grimaces at the mirror, but this request has already been taking me quite long and was starting to get a little frustrating when things went wrong, so I decided to cut it out.)
