#28!

@torrikor submitted:  you know i’m always down for your wonderful matchup’s tt ;D you also shouldn’t have given me advance warning bc this is gonna be Super Long now-

i’ve!! taken a really long time trying to figure out what trait my soul would have, and eventually decided on integrity after a lot of input from friends and also the fact that yeah, actually, staying true to oneself and keeping a moral code is really important to me. it’s important because my entire life i’ve had to pretend to be someone i’m not, either in self-expression or mental state, and i don’t want to do that anymore. that’s why there’s some bravery and justice marbled in with the integrity - also because i’m generally a not-great-at-functioning-regularly person due to mental issues, so that bravery really comes in handy :‘3

there /is/ a crack there, just a subtle one; i like to think you’d have to really be looking to see it, you have to care enough to want to know. it probably got there from multiple things piling up, some big and some small, that i honestly didn’t even realise myself until it was just a bit too late to reverse the damage. family issues, mental issues, a badly ended relationship, college stress- all that and more piled up and oops there’s a crack there now! held together mostly by the bravery given to me by friends, all of whom i love dearly and will be aggressively affectionate towards 'til the end of time <3

the tortoise’s two cents:  Ahhh, Ethan, I love your SOUL!  I think Integrity definitely suits you, and Bravery, but I also think your SOUL would be positively glowing with green Kindness, too. ;D

Okay, you’re gonna think I’m biased, but Underswap Sans is the one most drawn to your SOUL. 

He’s someone that really values Bravery, be it in the face of puzzles involving spikes or having the Bravery to express yourself.  Blueberry is always Blueberry; he’s got plenty of Integrity, he sticks to his morals, and he sees the Kindness in everyone.  You can always be yourself with Blue, and whenever you feel yourself getting depressed or anxious, he’s there to help you come up for air, be it with a comforting hug where you just rest on the couch in his arms or a lengthy, enthusiastic text where he tells you how MAGNIFICENT he thinks you are.

He knows you have a crack in your SOUL -- he cares about you enough to take a good look at -- but he isn’t the type that’s going to pry or treat you like you’re made of glass.  You can vent to Blueberry, too, and he’ll either just listen or offer advice depending on the situation.  

Blue’s seen how you are with your friends, how you’re constantly building them up and how you’ve got such a solid bond -- and he wants to be that for you, too, and return all of that positivity two-fold.  That’s how it’ll start, with him being a friend that you can lean on when you need to, that’s always down for an adventure or just a night in playing video games.  He sends positive texts your way, and the two of you spend more and more time together (and yes, you get him into Greek mythology, and he ends up obsessively looking up more info for two weeks straight), and eventually, he draws from a bit of your Bravery to break out his Dating Manual and ask you on an official date.
