For real TAZ made me think about how I could make the Big Reveal in Vale better. There’s something similar-ish (in its nature) going on in that story and I just sort of used an info dump chapter for it but I might… I might fuckin rewrite that part. Unfortunately I really like the atmosphere of how the info is being dumped but there’s no harm in trying out something else, eh?
Your OC has just been dropped into Undertale’s world (and is also 10 years old) and they have no knowledge of the game. What route do they do? Who’s their favorite?
In which the Callaghans are a happy and wholesome family of two assassin grandparents, two scientist parents, and one tiny teeny child assassin in training.
I didn’t always know where exactly I wanted to start the story and even though I know it’s good to start in medias res I still wanted to give more background to her life at the start, especially to show the change she goes through very soon.
Also I thought posting a chapter twice every week that’d be cool? If I did just one chapter a week we’d be here until next March and I ain’t got time for that.
Which OC would be loved/woobified by a hypothetical fandom? Which one would be demonized?
Pffft in Happy Endings there are canonically Cal stans and he hates them they go against everything he’s been doing. Being hated is the point ya dingdongs. I think about that a lot.
Amelia’s probably going to get demonized, I’ve seen it happen. Woman in a position of power against the protagonist? Yep. I mean, even Cal goes ‘That’s fair’ when she tries to kill him. I did my best.
I really hope I did all I could to make woobifying my two male villains impossible but I’m still afraid they’d be shipped together which would be pretty stupid. And I hope the Iron Slayer would be loved because even though she’s evil she’s pretty awesome.
Mason might be demonised because she spends most of the story doing bad stuff so she can stay in a position where she can do good stuff later and some people might not like that, but honestly just imagine how she feels Plus some people might want to compare her to Morlene who’s a literal angel and hate her by comparison in which case I’ll track down where they live based on their purchase information of my book and then give them a long lecture about how they’re both amazing and both deserve the world.
Idk if Vale would be woobified or demonised. I hope neither but I feel like she’s closer to being woobified. She can be loved despite doing shitty stuff but pls no woobifying, thanks. She’d prefer being demonised anyway.
Vale: you’re a good friend, Morlene
Morlene: one of us has to be
Out of everyone’s last hurrah I think I love Mason’s the best.
Mason: *covers up the sinkhole, extends the cemetery, makes it public and free for everyone so nobody has to throw their dead loved ones in a bottomless hole anymore*
Me, the writer who decided she would do that: *cries*
Morlene: please stop bringing customers to my home, I don’t like people knowing where I live.
Also Morlene: a stranger in need knocked on our door so I adopted them and they live with us now.
