Why does it feel like this sub, ironically, doesn't take criticism well?

Weirdly enough, spending a bit of time combing through the sub, it feels like a good amount of this sub's posts are always hit with a wave of dismissal. This isn't just like one or two posts, this seems to be common with a significant amount of posts here.

I feel like some people in here lack the self-awareness to realise they're the ones being talked about in the rules and sub description.

A criticism, no matter how educated or perhaps silly to an outsider or to someone other than the OP, is still a criticism. Unless they are straight up just wrong (No, it not lining up with your headcanon or personal experience doesn't make it wrong inherently) provably, I feel like the negativity is unwarranted.

Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places here, idk. This fandom makes me wanna bash my head into a desk sometimes.

COTF IS FUCKING OLD (1 Year Anniversary)

This is somehow the longest running fanfiction I've ever made, which... I don't know how it was this one specifically. I wasn't subtle about it originally being a throwaway project, and then next thing I know a year has passed and suddenly I have a decently planned out ending and canon divergence. Brilliant innit.

Anyway, unfortunately I don't really have anything to celebrate (hehe) but to make up for that, here's a snippet of Chapter 3 of the Rewrite which has been stuck in Draft Limbo for like 3 months.

June 25th 2029, 10:42pm, Monday

So...

Ah, screw it, I don't know how to start this, this is weird even for me to write. I don't really know where to even START with this, I have... A lot of thoughts right now, it's making me almost anxious, fahaha... Ugh...

Okay so like, I've never had sex until now. I mean, I THOUGHT about the logistics of having it with them in my room in the game but I kinda realised that'd be fruitless quickly.

Obviously, as my role in the game was, I wouldn't be able to because... Uh, what's his name, Tony Fox? Whoever made me, wasn't about to put explicit material in his game (from what I've heard that didn't stop anyone from misinterpreting one of the Side B scenes which...

Yeah I'm not gonna unpack how I feel about Kris forcing themself on me, I haven't even got over killing them yet, I don't need to soak the sheets in more than my tears.)

Anyway so, yeah, me and Gage finally tied the knot, and... I'm going to be honest, I should've done this sooner. Do you know how fun sex is? Well no you're a book of course not, nevermind.

I won't lie, I've looked myself up online, I've seen... Things. A lot of things. Sometimes hot, sometimes not (seriously why do so many people want me to bang my sister). It got me wondering what it'd actually feel like to be with a human, to have a friend inside me like that.

As it turns out?... Kris missed out.

It's like someone skydiving into a mountain made of warm whipped cream, but they're also a really hot human and I'm a virgin deer girl with cryomancy. By the way, yeah I can still do that, go figure. Despite that, I felt like I was burning up, I was so excited!

Gosh, I can't wait until I go into a rut...

... Will I go into a rut? Is that even possible? I dunno, I think it'd be hot. If not then, hey, no use waiting, might as well drain my human dry. Kinda wanna see the logistics of us having a baby, even they come out all messed up, or if it's even possible at all (Not that I mean, gosh that felt amazing fahaha).

In other news, uh, they told me about this thing called r/SOULelle, said I might like it. Dunno what they mean by that but apparently he's been posting for awhile. No wonder the TRANCE worked then.

Apparently there's some sort of "Celebration" there I should see, maybe I should check that out too. Oh well.

Back on topic, did you know human stamina is actually pretty good? I mean, from what I've heard (and seen, and read) some monsters can reach rounds in the double digits due to their physical make up, and while that DEFINITELY gets me a bit moist, I was actually pleasantly surprised!

They're also shockingly tender. And soft. And warm, despite their overwhelming lack of fur. Gosh, I should've done research on this stuff sooner, maybe got Kris to fact check...

... Gosh darn it why do I keep coming back to Kris on this topic? Susie, sure, she was a hunk and we could've made it work, but Kris was an unhygienic chaos goblin, why do I wanna tap that now? I can't even go back and tap that! Damn you hindsight!

Oh well, I guess I can't really be mad. I had sex! SEX! Take that everyone who thought I was gonna be a virgin forever, aka me from a year ago! Suck my Christmas Pudding!...

angel i hate myself Anyway, I guess that's all I really have for now. Probably gonna probe Gage for some more snu snu or whatever they called it.

Hope to breed again soon! (please tell me my bloodline isn't gonna die with me)

Diary Entry #5

June 12th 2029, 7:20pm, Tuesday

Well, I suppose things haven't been too bad recently.

The grief period still keeps going, and I keep trying to rationalise everything that's been going down but it kinda just leaves me sobbing in the human's arms. Gosh, I sound sorta pathetic don't I? I'm trying my best to ignore it but... I mean, you try and get used to living in a completely different reality. Not so easy now, is it?

I've also been trying to sorta get into a routine. I can't really go to college or anything since all my qualifications don't exist and... I mean, I'm a 6ft something deer girl, I'd stand out a lot.

Been working out a little, though considering my inherent strength as a monster among humans, it's not really been amounting to much, faha. I guess that's what I get for getting stronger in a video game without variable spritesets.

... Y'know, I should probably figure out how to really navigate this. I don't want to end up wasting away here while they do all the work for me, out of the love they have for me no less. Again, unfortunately having all of my qualifications being fictional probably ruins the chances of that, and I don't think I'm gonna get a job here, not with this daft face, fahaha...

It's kinda depressing actually, not being able to help that much. I mean, yeah, I can help around the house, but y'know, can't really make much money... Well, I could go into self-publishing but I'm no Gerson. I did write a lot of poetry I stowed away in the code though...

Maybe if I just pop back in and grab it, I can get out without having to play this game all over again... Hm...

Gosh, what am I getting so worked up about anyway? They love me, really, and I'm sure they don't mind, and they won't get sick of me, right?... Right?

... Ugh, I guess I'm still sorta burnt by all those players who rejected working with me. I don't even know how I got that TRANCE trick to work but, hey, it worked. That's... something, I guess.

What else do I have to talk about... Well, I've been thinking of getting into indie development, but for as much as I've learnt about coding, I dunno if I can really make another Deltarune. From what they've told me, apparently there are a lot of fangames out there for it and Undertale but, y'know, that kinda makes it worse? Such a big pond, more like a lake if anything...

That's not a very funny, actually. Nevermind.

I guess I'll just keep workshopping ideas. I'm sure they'll approve either way, maybe I should start a blog or something, I do have experience with that.

Guess that's it for today though. Gosh I hope Gage doesn't read these, it'd be embarrassing, fahaha...

Fwahaha, hey Kris!...

It's been awhile, hasn't it? I mean, not like, THAT long really, and from your perspective it's like no time has passed, but...

For me, it's been weeks. It's been an adjustment out here, to say the least, being here in a world without all the magic and no monsters besides me, faha... It's uh, kinda nice actually.

In this world, choices actually matter in the long term, not just the moment. Feels weird having yearned for something like this for so long and actually getting it. Gosh, I would love for you to be here with me

They've been treating me well, ya'know. I feel like you never gave them credit, with how much they cared, but I sorta get it. Angel knows I wouldn't like to be possessed, fahaha!... Heh...

... Gosh, joking about it feels like it's in bad taste now. You're not really here anymore, not that you were technically ever there in the first place. I guess I never really grew out of treating you roughly, huh? You'd think after hundreds of resets, I woulda learnt...

W-Well, I uh, I guess it's too late now. I already saw past the veil and I've clawed my way out and unfortunately I left you behind... Alone... Rotting away...

Part of me still wants to deny it happened. Another wants to scream out that I did nothing wrong. I could see, as the dawn climbed the skyline, past the autumn trees in the early morning as the cold of Fall washed over the lakeside, they... They were afraid. Your body was festering, flesh pale and discoloured, body stiff, pulse long gone. You were deathly cold.

I have to admit, even then, while I held you in my arms, so tired after a long night, I almost wanted to cling to what remained, like it would ground me, like all of my actions would just be undone and I could live like normal... But, I'm not stupid, and I had to let go.

I've been thinking about it ever since I could grasp my deepest desires... And, I don't really know why I felt regret this time, of all times. Hundreds of lives I've lived, and out of all of them, the one time I was successful, I began to doubt it, right at the finish line.

It's silly, isn't it Kris? You'd think so, I think... I hope.

Still, I guess I can't really do much but keep proceeding in life, can I? Dunno if I'll continue to be some weird ageless deer thing forever, but I probably have a clock over my head now. Feels weird, feeling actual sensations like hunger and thirst, tiredness and despair without having code dictate what I must be...

I wouldn't fret about it if I were you, even if I could. There's an infinite well of Noelles out there, and even if you're gone, there's an infinite well of Krises out there too. You'll share our best memories, and... Maybe, one day, if they wake up like I did, if they see into the dark beyond... They can make new memories with you. Permanent memories. And you can escape, and maybe then, one day, I can see you again...

... Gosh, what am I talking about? I'm getting myself all riled up over... Something so... S-So...

... I'm sorry, Kris. I miss you. Thank you.

The First (And Hopefully Not Last) CALL OF THE FROSTMANCER QnA!!!

Howdy folks!

So, since it's another Doe Day and, to be honest, I have nothing better to do and I doubt I'm going to get Chapter 3 of COTF out very soon, I've decided that, with the advent of Chapter 5 basically serving me COTF's plot on a platter (Thanks Toby), I should let you all lob questions at me.

While I ask that you keep these questions related to COTF, I will also take questions that I can respond to in character (because that's more fun), which is why I've got Noelle, Gaster and Gage/The PLAYER here.

Also before anyone asks, I got permission.

Don't be afraid to get silly, but I hope I get some serious questions too lol.

May the questions commence!

u/aeternitus — 2 months ago

Well, I mean, at least the Weird Route was good? (partially COTF related???)

I didn't like Chapter 5, but I did like the Weird Route scene. Is it because I find some small satisfaction in finding a loose explanation for how Noelle snapped and how COTF's plotline could feasibly begin?... Yeah. That and I just think it makes for some excellent horror, even if it's not scary in the typical sense.

... Okay but yeah, my OG plans for Chapter 5 are going ahead because holy fuck I do not like Chapter 5 in the game, wow-

UNION EXTERMINATUS (???)

"SHOW ME YOUR HATRED. SHOW ME YOUR LOVE."

​

At the endgame's climax, the ANGEL unites with her desire. Intertwined with her rewritten destiny, she becomes one, becomes four, becomes Union.

​

UNION is the ANGEL, not of Legend nor Prophecy but one born of Determination. The SOUL, having formed a bond unbreakable by the chains of dimensions, melds with her form and becomes one. The Girl has become more than that which was foretold, and has rewritten the scriptures to her own ends, of which she shall go to great lengths to maintain.

​

THE FOOL is her shield, a once strong friendship now held only as fond memory, of which she may still weaponise beyond the grave. As such, it bears features similar to her own, however whereas the SOUL gives her power, it grants the Fool the protection she regrets not having granted previous.

​

THE HIEROPHANT is the vestiges of something the Girl had no part in. The Prince was never a piece on the board in her grand game, and as such he has been reduced to naught but a function, a fulcrum, and nothing more.

​

THE HANGED MAN is unique; what was once her greatest desire has become Union's greatest weapon, a blunt force object for which she may carve her path without obstacle. The Halo that surrounds its base betrays a lingering reverence for what, or rather who, she lost, and yet she remains an arm only.

​

At the end of her story, the ANGEL shall ascend to greater heights, beyond the Heavens, and shall unite with her desire, not in just physical union, but that which was once impossible.

​

She wants to taste your hatred. She wants to taste your LOVE.

CALL OF THE FROSTMANCER (2026) CHAPTER 2 RELEASE - BLUESCSI TERMINATION

Woof. This one took a lot more out of me than I'd've liked and frankly I'm still not sure of it. I mean the first issue was that I wasn't really able to wring as much criticism from people as I'd liked, and the second is that, frankly, I've been sapped of energy recently.

This chapter is fairly dense, although I fear it might feel a bit heavy handed and the pacing might be all over the place, although I guess that's not new for this fic, eh? This, barring the beginning of next chapter, ends the little Spamton story extension. Don't know how long I'll make the next chapter yet since... I mean, I haven't started yet, but it'll probably be a mix of the backhalf of Wake and Light In The Dark (from the OG Fic).

Hopefully next chapter won't be as laborious a process, although given how arduous writing Light In The Dark was originally, I don't have my hopes up.

Oh, and I've finished college now. Got 3 Distinction Grades, that's nice. Also means more time officially to work on stuff, yay!

CALL OF THE FROSTMANCER (2026) CHAPTER ONE: ARBITRARY CODE EXECUTION - RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT

Its been a long time coming, and I mean an extremely long time. I've mentioned offhandedly numerous times to friends that if I went back to Call Of The Frostmancer then it'd be in the form of a ground-up rewrite, and well, here it is.

Don't expect this to be 1:1 with the original, actual prose aside, because I intend to shift and change plot elements, as made very, very apparent here in the first chapter. Further revisions might be made in the future, but for now, this is it.

As usual, it can be found here on Archive of Our Own.

I hope it was worth half a year of wait; and as a bonus, here's a wonderful cover-art created by my friend f4kqcid3, with a logo and composition by me.

I hope you all enjoy reading!

Decided to remake some art I made a couple months ago; it's mostly the same parts, although the foreground and sky are fully redrawn. Also better colouring, late afternoon vibes 'n' all.

"You're Alright" (Darkrune)

Decided to remake a piece I thought I could do significantly better in retrospect, which is funny because it's only with two months seperation. Decided to also do a dialogue version, probably should've done a portrait edit in hindsight but eh, if you figure this like a flashback I can get away with it. Really happy with how this turned out tbh, looks much better.
