This blog will be now focused more on general art/requests/reblogs. All things related to Unexpected!Tale will be on my side blog @unexpected-tale

I’m going to use this opportunity to explain the plans I have for my AU while I’m at it! But I will do so under the cut because it’s a LOT.

I love the game messages from Karasu. I like to imagine that he doesn't write the content for them, but he knows the team of demons that do. It's an on-going joke at the office that they make his AI persona sound so much different than he really is. That can have mixed results when others meet him for the first time because there's so many assumptions about what other demons expect him to be like.

Ok so I've mentioned here before that it's possible that sir pentious being on adam's right would symbolize him being redeemed in the end. so alastor being on adam's left could be translated to him being irredeemable etc etc

Let's dabble more into that

When Charlie sang the song to Sir Pentious, he listened. He lets Charlie in. He truly believed he doesn't deserve forgiveness or kindness. He's ashamed of his actions and sang along in perfect harmony with Charlie - a grateful smile clear on his face - and eyes sparkling with hope

What if with Alastor, it's the complete opposite?

Maybe she and the crew found out of his ulterior motives after building a deeper relationship with the gang, and Alastor is cornered (?), like a deer caught in the headlights. And instead of the lashing out, anger, violence Alastor was expecting and ready for, Charlie sings a reprise of "It Starts with Sorry" or a similar song to it.

Parallel to Sir Pentious' responses, Alastor cuts Charlie off with his own verse, backing away from her. Scoffing at the idea that he would say sorry - and that he deserves and needs their forgiveness. The song would continue on as him being more aggressive, frantic. his demon form flickering and barely holding itself in, and Charlie's desperately trying to reach for him (and honestly hurt from what he's done) her demon form also starting to form, her own verses faltering.

The song turns into a duel rather than a duet, battling to be the final voice to be heard. Maybe altering from one genre to another (kinda like hell is forever- From preppy happy music to straight up rock. respectless- From strong, belty, and kinda slow melody, to pop, sassy, quick melody). (Im not an expert in music pls excuse my terms)

Charlie's verses having that broadway feel and are hopeful and raw with a simple piano accompanying her vocals (just like in "it starts with sorry")

whereas Alastor's verses lean to electroswing with many electronic instruments, his radio voice and snarkiness very apparent.

Then, in the height of all the tension, Alastor 'wins' the duel, his voice drenched in radio filter, his true demon form now out, and everyone else is horrified. But Charlie saw how his eyes shone with terror.

Both lose their demon forms and Alastor looks away, not meeting anyone's eyes. Shadows starting to form around him.

"This is the end. I'm sorry." His voice now raw and heavy with emotion, a stark contrast to earlier. And he disappears into the shadows.

Sir Pentious' sorry was a decision to hold on to the hope of actually becoming better and being forgiven. A decision to believe he can and become better. Alastor's sorry was resignation. It was his choice to let go of hope of redemption because of his unbelief in himself.

It's gonna be a wild ride.

Yes, things like that are upsetting, things like the ask I got (the one I replied to with Sans Undertale) are upsetting, but reacting with anger and insults will get us nowhere.

It troubles me to see people in my community jump so quickly to aggressivety. I would be lying if I said it didn't also get to my head for a bit, but I've had time to think and reflect and honestly? It saddens me.

Our fandom will receive a big boom of people. A lot of mean, aggressive people will most likely join our community and even enter our spaces. I've been fearing this for so long, but I see more and more that it is true; the daemon community is aggressive towards people who upset them. While I can understand the feelings, I really do think that as a community, we should work on that.
