Ship opinions and the beginning

Undertale ship opinions and the beginning

How did I get into the fandom?

I'm not sure anymore, if I started watching a reaction video on YouTube with Undertale characters, which was gripping and I watched them one after the other, getting to know the AUs, or if I read a Forced god of destruction story, one after the other on Wattpad for the first time. What I do know is that that whichever one started, the other one followed shortly after. But the video was probably the first.

I also know that I read Harrish6's story much later, after quite a few fan stories inspired by it. With the totally immersive stories of the fandom on wattpad and reaction videos that make with Gacha. I find it impressive and amazing how much Undertale has inspired others, but at the same time it gives me mixed feelings as a writer who love they own characters as they are. At the same time, I want and not want to be able to have such an impact on others. 

Fanart is a special recognition that brings the world of the story to life. There is no greater gift than knowing that others love and are inspired by what you do. I am very grateful to everyone who reads, comments and likes the chapters. 

But returning to the topic, I first encountered ships in reaction videos, which was followed by ship videos, pictures and fanfictions. The first ships I got to know were ErrorInk, Killermare, CrossDream, Dustberry and HorrorLust. I found the rest like AfterDeath, Krustard, Crossmare, KillerDream, HorrorDust, DeathDestruction, Errormare, DreamInk, Inkmare, Dreammare, etc later. The order doesn't fully reflect how I found them, since most of the videos had more than one ship present.

And while reading the fanfictions, I realized that the stories have a hard time getting me hooked if Error or Nightmare is not the main character. And although I enjoy reading many topics or find them interesting like the Forced Destroyer, I couldn't write them myself. Before inventing my own version, I watched a lot of videos and read a lot stories, until I found the ships that truly caught my attention like Errormare. 

My own versions of the characters and their stories started without a ship, but it became part of the stories and gave wings to worlds. I found many interesting stories and videos and came up with ideas even before I started writing the Reborn of Balance.

I still find it amazing how this world and the freedom it gives over its characters grabbed me. I like that I can shape them with my own ideas, barely using anything from the original character, which is a little evil against the original creator, but I wouldn't be able to enjoy this world otherwise... 

Over time, other worlds caught my attention and I got involved in the Undertale multiverse, giving new story twists to certain ideas. It is not always easy to write, sometimes it's a real struggle to write even a single line. So I started thinking that maybe it would be interesting to tell you how I got here and what I think about the ships I know.

My opinion on ships can vary depending on the point of view, the way it is approached and the writing. But I can state that I do not like toxic, bullying and yandere relationships, the majority of tsunderes, cheating and love polygons. The ships whit the reader is not my thing at all. I can't stand reading. It feels forced and uncomfortable, to put it mildly, it repels me. Harems and polys don't really are things I enjoy either. I don't like when the characters are portrayed as girls, because they tend to be unpleasant teenage girls, and I favor Bl more because it's comfort for me.
