Description Could someone please explain to me how “naive, well-meaning individual who just wants to find somewhere to fit in and be accepted meets and befriends a small, yellow, cute, harmless-looking creature that turns out to be a sociopathic, sadistic eldritch abomination with reality warping powers, who worms its way into every aspect of his life and begins to destroy it from the inside out all under the guise of ‘helping’ but in fact doing everything simply because it was bored, lying to him, abusing him, estranging him from his brother, causing the near-death of his closest friend, and leading to said individual adopting a ‘Trust No One’ policy to keep anyone else from having to get caught up in his problems and getting hurt” was a character arc I somehow managed to stumble across twice in the span of a mere 8 months? It’s like the universe is conspiring to kill me with a very specific subset of Feels or something, I swear.

How does one shade armor omg.

Gravity Falls belongs to Alex Hirsch
Undertale belongs to Toby Fox

Yes, how about a story where the naive, well-meaning guy ends up working with someone who looks out for him and they achieve greatness together?

Still working slowly on playing through.

X-I-L2048 In reply to FuzzyPickles42 [2016-06-06 07:16:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, the last chapter and epilogue were posted a couple weeks ago. That's why I drew this. I mean, I was planning on doing it for awhile, but reading the finale gave me the final push I needed to start. As for the ending itself, I'll copy-paste the review I wrote over on my tumblr:

I started weeping uncontrollably a third of the way through the last chapter and didn’t stop until part of the way through the epilogue. I’m emotionally compromised and also drained. It really didn’t end the way I thought it would, but honestly that’s not a bad thing, I just am still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it is all. I have a feeling the author is going to get a lot of questions about the ending, but I’m willing to wait on the answers. I am overall satisfied with the one we got.

Congrats, unrestedjade, you have managed to make me cry more times at a fanfic than I’ve done in at least the past 5 years, and have simultaneously written something that has automatically skyrocketed onto my list of Top 10 Fanfictions Ever. If you somehow manage to find this, thank you for this experience, heart-wrenching though it may have been. I wish you all the best in your future writing career.

X-I-L2048 In reply to FuzzyPickles42 [2016-06-06 09:26:27 +0000 UTC]

Depends. The earlier ones are shorter, and the later ones tend to be much longer. Not horrifically long, though. You could probably blow through one of those in 15-20 minutes if you're a fast reader.

Note to self: don't take life advice form yellow magical things.

Other note to self: talking plants burn on sight.... Okay, that one was already there because one of my little pleasures in life is burning things, but still.

More notes: read that fanfic when I have time between gaming and work.

Every Villain Is Lemons.

Should I be worried that this is my favorite colour?

The picture looks awesome. Might not be the intention, but Flowey growing over Papyrus like that looks cool, same goes for him wearing that armor.

Might give the fanfiction a try.

IKR? It's really weird. What is it with people making all the villains yellow nowadays?

Thanks! I'm glad you think I pulled off the armor okay. XD

Do! It's really well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I'd recommend it to any Undertale fan who can stomach the subject matter.

Draecor-Thorrack In reply to X-I-L2048 [2016-06-02 19:46:32 +0000 UTC]

They're getting colour-coded for your convenience.

Apparently is the favorite colour of everyone vile.

Now I'm imagining an undead in symbiosis with some man-eating plant that grows through his body or a plant that took over the corpse of a knight and moves it along. Probably pretty far from Papyrus, but that image evoked these ideas for me.

Aargh, I really would like to (and I can deal with a lot of darkness), but I have so much else I want to read or do. My time is limited, and I shouldn't get pulled into another fandom. But it sounds so good...

OMG, you're right! Quick, spread the word so no one will be taken by surprise in media ever again.

Well, you're the one who knows your spare time schedule better than anyone else, but I really do recommend the fic. If you have time to read normal books, then I'd highly recommend carving out some time to read this one. It's better than a lot of published works I've had to read in my time.

Draecor-Thorrack In reply to X-I-L2048 [2016-06-06 19:23:01 +0000 UTC]

I knew it! Colours are evil, and the worst of all is the yellow one. Only metal can be trusted, that's at least what Dungeons and Dragons taught me.

Ha, by my problems with time management and procrastination I could need someone who manages my spare time schedule. What would you even call such a person?

Life coach? Could that work? I don't know any yet, but it seems there's one. I hope he's free and not busy with other customers. Did he finish with his last customer and can Papyrus recommend him?

Let's just hope that the name is an antonym...
