🌌 Kai/Uniqua 🌌

Was Uni_Is_A_Reindeer. Now, Begone_Cupid

I just had this idea. I've seen something similar in a fanfic before. I'm not sure if anyone has tried it with their ships but, I think we need to start making this a thing. We need to make scenarios where each person in our ships picks an outfit for the other person (or people if they're poly) for date night. I think it's a neat idea. I really think it should be done more. It could even be done with real relationships. If we applied it to real relationships, it might expose red flags in partners since we'll get to see what they're comfortable with us wearing in public and how they want us to dress or act. But it could also expose green flags as well for the same reason. If your partner doesn't like your current style and forces you into a different aesthetic, get out and find someone who will do the opposite.
          
          Also, I was applying this to Uniton and got wholesome results. They have different style tastes that often do crazy things with clothes, accessories, hair, and makeup. I just wanted to share because I feel like this should be a requirement for all ships, real or fictional.
          
          One more thing: Don't judge me for eating Nutella right out of the jar with a spoon. That's what I was doing when I thought of this. It's my cycle, guys.

Mettaton: Alright, we need to figure out who vandalized the chocolate display for Valentine's Day. I wanted it to look stunning and it's currently a mess. All the boxes are empty. What happened?
          
          Chara: I wasn't even in the area at the time this happened.
          
          Asriel: Neither was I. We were helping Frisk and Clover out in the countryside.
          
          Chara: We were dealing with runaway cattle. There's no way this could've been done by either of us.
          
          Asriel: Besides, we're not crazy about graffiti.
          
          Mettaton: I know who did it.
          
          Chara: I doubt she'd admit to it.
          
          Mettaton: I can make her talk. I also know where she's hiding. Uni-darling, we need to talk-
          
          Uniqua: Dude, not now! Cupid is making his rounds! I'm trying to keep it on the down low! Now, outta the way! I gotta make it to the door and beeline for the park.
          
          *Uniqua lifts up the decorated box she was in just enough to move towards the door carefully. She only tosses it to the side when she hears arrows fly past her. She then ducks behind the bushes and continues running.*
          
          Uniqua: YOU WON'T CATCH ME IN THE STREETS, YA FREAK!

I should consider changing my pfp at some point. It's no longer Christmas.

Mettaton: Spring is almost here!
          
          Uniqua: Not the allergies or that winged baby again!
          
          Cupid: You called?
          
          Uniqua: AAAAAAAAA-

Mettaton: Darling, there is a very special occasion coming! Have you gotten a gift yet?
          
          Uniqua: For my brother? I can't disclose that information. He might hear it. His birthday is only a few days away. Don't ruin the surprise, dude. I wanna see his face when he sees it.
          
          Mettaton: Not the occasion I was referring to. But I promise not to tell him. I was talking about the occasion after his birthday.
          
          Uniqua: It can't be Ma's birthday. We still have a bit before that.
          
          *The realization finally hits her.*
          
          Uniqua: U-Uh, I still need to work on that one. Speaking of which, I should actually be leaving now to go meet with someone to discuss something.
          
          Mettaton: There isn't anything you'd like to ask me?
          
          Uniqua: NOPEGOTTARUNDUDESORRYBYE-

Mettaton: How many more vintage band shirts are we buying?
          
          Uniqua: I told you already, Mett. We're buying all of them. All the shirts. All the merch. All the memorabilia, records, and CDs. You need to study the bands that came before us. This will be a lengthy course on music history in the Wondergrounds. You'll also learn how politics worked against art and music because all these bands got arrested for spreading and promoting opposing ideas that mystic tyrants hated. Some of them switched sides after being released while others just left the scene to avoid getting thrown back in.
          
          Mettaton: Why are you showing me this? Are you and Hothead under scrutiny?
          
          Uniqua: No, I'm showing you a dark past we're working to change. I was the first mystic royal to be a rocker. Then, I brought him into the picture by starting a band. We are the line between punk rockers and nobility and we're tired of how punks, rockers, and goths get treated.
          
          Mettaton: Can they even lock you both up? You are royalty.
          
          Uniqua: My people have the right to detain or overthrow unjust leaders. Even if officers did come to take us, I trust my people to make the right choice to defend worthy leaders and allies. Music and art unite more people by sending powerful messages. If politicians jail, unalive, or silence artists, the only message it sends to the people is that they are scared of the power of art. I may be a fighter, but I am an artist as well.

Uniqua: Hey, can I ask you a question, Mett?
          
          Mettaton: Of course, darling!
          
          Uniqua: How does one even do romance anyway?
          
          Mettaton: We've been dating for three years. How do you still not fully understand despite having some of the highest standards?
          
          Uniqua: Bro, I'm not neurotypical or allosexual. Is it really a bad thing if I still don't get it after three years? On top of that, I'm introverted. I genuinely don't know what I'm doing anymore at this point.
          
          Mettaton: 21 years old and you're speaking like a wise woman who's been hardened by life's struggles.
          
          Uniqua: That's because I already have been. Too many people say I'm being way too delusional or potentially controlling when I'm only refusing to settle for anything less than my standards. Why should I be sorry for having them in the first place?
          
          Mettaton: Wait... You actually have a point.
          
          Uniqua: It's not about staying with someone who doesn't value you. That's not loyalty because you're choosing to blindly forgive and continuously let them keep another pawn to mess with on the side. It's worse when that pawn is way younger. Loyalty is riding with them when they get hated for speaking for the voiceless, suffer hardships of any kind, and fighting for each other in the face of darkness. When did people start thinking a love like that was wrong or inexistant? Just because it's hard to find doesn't mean it's not out there.
          
          Mettaton: What are you on?
          
          Uniqua: Nothing. I think I've been cursed with the wisdom of the mystic elders of the past.

So, I decided to dig around the internet for the old website where you could play various Barbie flash games today. It's not up anymore. Typing in Barbie.com takes you to Mattel's website and their section dedicated to Barbie dolls, accessories, and other merch. The reason I wanted to try to find it was to relive some of the better parts of my childhood and soak up the nostalgia. When Google only showed Mattel instead of the old Barbie website, I went to Reddit as a guest to look at a post about it. I checked the comments and someone added a link to a blog that explained what happened to all the sites that had flash games. They've all been taken down or reworked to get rid of flash games entirely. This means there's no more Disney Jr., Disney Channel, Hotwheels, or anything else full of flash games for kids. A lot of people born between the late 80's to late 2000's had their fun for about 20-30 years before losing it all. I'll be reading that blog very thoroughly in case it has any info on gaining access to these forgotten relics of entertainment and keep you updated. In short, the games I was addicted to before finding fandom culture were erased from the internet while I was getting addicted to Sonic, Undertale, and Minecraft. While I was enjoying the work of Toby Fox, Tomoya Ohtani, Jun Senoe, and everyone else who made the music of my faves now, they took down the games that shaped me before fandom finished the job. This sucks.

Mettaton: Roller coasters do seem intriguing. Most humans say the adrenaline rush is quite intense but, it is well worth it!
          
          Uniqua: They're only good if you can handle that kind of speed. I tried one and it was alright. Then, we designed and tested one last year and most of the testers got flung out. Including extra safety equipment and parachutes helped prevent any casualties. The only downside was the fact my face went numb by the end of the ride. Now that I think about it, it was still pretty sick!
          
          Mettaton: You mean to tell me you built a roller coaster before me?! Without me?!
          
          Uniqua: It was just a test to see if it was possible. You should've seen it, bro! Hoth still puked even though he was only operating it!
          
          Mettaton: So, where is it?!
          
          Uniqua: We actually took it down because everyone agreed it wasn't safe enough to be an actual ride. There were still flaws that needed to be worked out. But it was gnarly!
          
          Mettaton: We're rebuilding it. I need to see this for myself!
