oh, what a way to start off pride month :"-)

i genuinely cried tears of joy when i saw the post of killer in a trans jacket; even more so when i saw superyoumna's drawings of these two in pride outfits.

when the posts about recognizing the trans allegory with cross were made, i was so estatic for one of the most popular and influential sanses to be at least trans-coded & drawn to show support, if not actually canonly trans. then those posts were deleted, erased after a little while, with no further outward word or support towards the community from jakei. it was a hurtful disappointment that made the support seem insincere.

to see killer confirmed to be trans and with a gay man, without any cowardice or shame — no backpedaling, or hesitation — makes me so happy and seen, as i'm sure many other trans UTMV fans feel too because of this. in a time where hatred and fear towards transgender people is at an a terrifying high, all of us around the world are going through horrible hardships. representation of us in media is becoming less and less common, because it's not "trendy" to support us anymore. so as a trans person, thank you. 💛

killer by @rahafwabas

So uh. Do we vibe with Toriel shipping or.

I was meaning to doodle her for. A long time now, actually? Anywho, meet my "villain" and "evil" girl, Bella :]

Extra info on her:

Lives in Underfell in the ruins. Visits Underswap from time to time when her mother isn't busy.

She wants to be a "villain" because she thinks they're cool looking.

Friends with monsterkid, they act as her lackey alongside the other monster children in underfell.

if you strip away ink's driving force, his whole motivation for protecting the AUs and keeping up his morally grey rules and never touching scripts — the WHOLE point of ink's character - then what's left? that's not ink, at that point. that's a completely different character.

people will agree that ink is autistic coded and ADHD coded, but will then turn around and call his emotions fully fake/artificial. can we see the... obvious issue with that?

yes, he does get his emotions from something that isn't a soul. they have the ability to choose what he does and doesn't feel. a small part of it is pretend, because he can't get the full experience. but he chooses to keep his vials balanced anyway, because it's pretty disorienting for him otherwise and he doesn't like it when they aren't. his emotions coming from vials instead of a soul doesn't make what they feel and experience any less unique to him. there is obviously a disconnect between how he experiences emotions VS how other people experience emotions (neurodivergent people experiencing emotions differently from neurotypical people COUGH), but it doesn't mean that they should be discredited and written off as completely fake. he has real love and care for his dads; even when he forces himself to abide by his own rules in a scenario where one of their dads dies, he is still so CLEARLY distraught, grief-stricken, and torn up over it. should that not be taken into account at all?

ink protects the AUs to keep the creators happy, because without the creators, they have no source of paints. and without his paints, he isn't anyone or anything. he isn't alive. they're a hollow, dead husk of a skeleton, forever unmoving and lifeless. if we take that away — and the only real consequence of them not being able to access his vials are oh he's still alive they just can't feel things — then what's the point? what are they doing all this for? what is he protecting the AUs for, what is he protecting the scripts for, what is he doing all of this for? the backing behind his actions and morals become a lot less impactful, and seem a lot less important, if the only reason he's doing it is to feel things. it lowers the stakes by quite a lot.

1. a villan/antagonist

2. emotionless

3. non-human

this goes for all fandoms, but i think it's especially bad within the UTMV fandom. like yes, i LOVE to see aroace rep in stories, but not when the only aroace characters are one (or multiple) of the three examples above.

ink, i think specifically, gets treated pretty badly by the fandom. people either erase his aroace-spec identity completely, or they villanize them. Underverse is a pretty popular example of this. the only canonly aroace characters in Underverse are X-Gaster (the big bad villan) and ink (the guy who stopped taking his vials and betrayed their friends and is helping the big bad villan). the issue isn't inherently having these kinds of characters be aroace -- but when they're the ONLY ones who are, it makes it clear how you view aroace people; that good people, who are expressive in their emotions, can't be aroace.

HELLO IT IS I!!!!

Have a uhhhh Sombra and Raven centered headcanon. For funzies.

I don't think Sombra visits Reaper often. Life a Little bit more, but she feels weirdly Guilty when she visits Life. Like she doesn't deserve Life's kindness. So generally she just doesn't see that side of her family much, at least for a while.

I don't think she meets Raven until he's at least a toddler. Both Reaper and Life try to get in contact with her but she's very avoidant. Simultaneously scared of getting attached and struggling to feel Worthy of being a big sister.

But then she visits and sees this tiny wide-eyed kid and she just. Can't make herself leave. She can manage visiting Reaper more often for him. For Raven's sake. She will never tell him that though.
