I posted this already but I think I forgot to make it an announcement, so...
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! If you don't celebrate, I still wish you a good day! (and also all the good things we celebrate on Christmas that is mostly unrelated to my religion, like family and generosity)

So... Y'all know how I said I'm in a play this week? Well, our first shows (a matinee and evening) were supposed to be today. However, I live in Canada, where we are ruled by the snow. We had to cancel.
Honestly, it's probably better for me. I'm recovering from a cold, and having a day to chill will be good for my health.
NerdPrincessLina
@NutmegIsHere thank you! It's over now, and it was very fun. There were a couple of stumbles here and there, but overall we did quite well.

@NerdPrincessLina If you had a cold, you should definitely take the time to recover your voice and that. Do not yell or whisper, both are really bad for your voice. :) Break a leg for when you do perform though!

I NEED to yap more about vampires, so I'm gonna.
what Scott did to Apo is so absolutely horrible.
I'm watching Abolish's last episode now, and I just rewatched the conversation where Apo is explaining what happened to them and Cleo is shooting them down, and that got me thinking.
Scott has been so adamant that Apo chose to be a vampire, said it so many times, used some of the truth of that statement, that Cleo wasn't listening to Apo. Apo basically said "I became a vampire because I wasn't willing to sacrifice /one of you/" and Cleo snarked at her about turning Sausage.
And I do not blame Cleo for this! I blame Scott. He has twisted the narrative on Apo and what happened to her so much that none of the town will ever know that she was ready to sacrifice herself in their place, and decided to kill Scott once she saw he was alone. Her turning was a heroic sacrifice, and all the more heroic because she lost so much of her humanity and friendships because of it. And no one will ever see that, because Scott has told everyone she was a willing turn, and she can't even fully refute it, because she did say "turn me".
But she wasn't willing. She was threatened and coerced and given no other choice.
But Scott's all charisma, so everyone sees things his way, and Apo managed to make the entirety of Oakhurst hate them, so there was no chance of them looking at her in the heroic light she deserved.

@Ninjapowerdcat ! aw!!! thank you :) (this does not express how happy this makes me feel, but I do not know how to express that digitally. so. yeah.)

I know some of you are vampires smp fans, so I want to share my Horrible Evil Theory/Headcannon.
Spoilers for Owen's backstory.
So. Here's the relevant information: Turning someone is enough to make you a level 2 vampire (as seen in Scott and Pyro's POVs). By level 2, you have claws, bat form, invisibility, and the lunge. Louis (or is it Lewis?) was a good person. He did not like violence. He was killed shortly after turning Owen. He was framed, and the townsfolk did not actually know he was a vampire. He is 100% dead, as Owen saw him in the afterlife.
So... Because he'd turned Owen, Louis was almost certainly level 2. So he had bat form, invisibility, and the lunge. And the townsfolk had no reason to trap him with silver and no beacon to stop his abilities. He had access to them. Completely. /So he could've gotten away from the pyre/. He could've turned invisible, jumped away, turned into a bat, fought his way out. But he didn't. I think that's because he knew they'd come after him if they knew he was a vampire. And then he'd have to kill them to get away. And he did the math, weighed the scales, and decided his life wasn't worth the cost in the lives of the townsfolk. So he walked /willingly/ to the pyre, to save them.
This makes Owen killing them even worse, and also those lines where he's like "Louis' life was worth every one of theirs!"
Yeah. I've been thinking about this for a while, so you can have this horrible terrible thing I thought of, too, now.

@NerdPrincessLina you’re completely right, cause that what makes them seem humane. Because if they can be all happy, it doesn’t appeal to us cause that's not what our lives are like. We cannot go back and change actions in our lives, and always get a happy ending, or become at peace with our lives.

@Probs_reading_ I find it's /more/ angsty when there was hope. Like, it didn't have to be this way. It could've been better, it could've been happy. But people made the wrong choices, and now it's not. In another world, everyone's happy. In another world, bloodletting isn't toxic, and Avid's alive, and Apo and Martyn are still friends who talk to each other and Martyn's met Cherri, and enough people gave Pyro a chance so he didn't feel like he had to be a monster, and treebark is probably real, and all the other happiest possible endings happened. A couple of different choices, and we'd live in that happy world. But we don't. We don't get to see the happiness that could've been. Uh. yeah. It hurts more when you can look back and see where a different choice would've brought more happiness, but you can't go back anymore. You made the choice you did, and now you're stuck in a sad world. There /is/ a happy timeline where everything went right, but it's not the one you live in.

@NerdPrincessLina valid. I wish as well, but I’m also too much of an angst-y kind of person to hope for good things lol

Just saw that Lila Grace account commented. She join another stories discord server and has been harassing them for commissions. She used the same exact wording in your message as theirs. She’s just spamming around, hoping to get money. Just thought I’d let you know.
NerdPrincessLina
@SamIsGeek Yeah, when I get this kind of message, I like to check the person's profile to see if they have any other stories from this fandom saved, and if they don't I get suspicious. I'm trying to politely turn her down - luckily, I have the ability to honestly say that payment is literally impossible! And if that doesn't work, I know where the block and report buttons are. Thank you for the warning, though. Makes me a lot more comfortable with actually using those things. I usually don't cause it feels rude.

A warning for Deltarune spoilers on my feed, and also a request that you be careful what you share. I'm not quite done the game, yet
NerdPrincessLina
I'm fighting a turtle from hell in Deltarune right now.
only one of the secret bosses I've found, and he's like top 3 hardest fights in the ENTIRE GAME what the heck
NerdPrincessLina
update, I beat the turtle from hell.
my brother showed me the chapter 1 secret boss and uh. yeah no. the turtle from hell took me like thirty tries, and the only reason I had motivation to keep going was that he was so nice and polite and I felt like it could be important to Susie's character arc. I will not be going for a full secrets run if I ever play through this game again.

I did a silly in my first playthrough.
So like, I did the mettaton ex fight - which I love, by the way. he's such an icon - and I lost. /twice/. For context, I'd died at most twice before this, and I highly doubt it was more than once, and not to the same thing.
But after those two tries, it was pretty late and I was a little frustrated, so I decided it was bedtime. I chatted with my brother before I went to bed, though. Told him about the fight and how it was going. He was like, yeah, that's a hard fight. I complained about the attacks that were impossible to dodge. He asked if I'd used the gun. I asked what gun.
The next day I did the fight again and won, because I used the gun.
Course, I still find those gunless fights a point of pride. Because I didn't use a gun, and I still got to armless mettaton, which is dang far.
I was still a little silly during this fight on my second run, but that time it was a trying-to-play-one-handed-lik-you-do-for-most-fights kinda silly, not a forgetting-the-main-mechanic-of-the-fight kinda silly.

One of the most unexpected things in my Undertale run was Papyrus. I knew about Sans, because I've existed on the internet, but I'd heard absolutely nothing about Papyrus, and I feel like that's a crime. He's hilarious. And I really love Sans' and Papyrus' relationship. Like, Papyrus is kinda obviously a loser. But Sans thinks he's the coolest guy ever, and y'know what? Papyrus is a loser in the coolest way possible. I love him so much, he's so goofy.
