Snails Don't Really Explode, Don't Worry

#12 ~~ November 18, 2015 ~~ Undertale, Toby Fox

So it's true, I've officially become Undertale trash, haha. I've been doing fanart, and looking through a bunch of fanart and voice dubs and comic sets people make. This game has actully got me back into Tumblr again. The last time I was really into Tumblr I think was when I was into Homestuck. I never finished Homestuck; I gave up on it really. And Undertale's better anyway. Quickly Sans and Mettaton have become my favorite characters from the game. I do love all of the characters though. And I love the soundtrack as well. Toby Fox did an amazing job with the game. I read some of the things he was tweeting on Twitter, and all I saw were comments on how surprised he was that the game had gotten so popular. It's because he stayed determined, I'm sure. What a wonderful game with such a great story. Ah, I can't even say more about it, I have no words to describe. The fandom for Undertale is great. The only problem people have been conflicting about is this gender of Frisk who can be interpreted either way, which is why Toby Fox made them that way. In which case there shouldn't be an argument on it at all, since Frisk can be both, either, or neither gender.

So currently the things I'm absolutely in love with are: 1. Undertale 2. Steam Powered Giraffe 3. Assassin's Creed 4. One Punch Man. . .and an upcoming fifth place is Sherlock Holmes. I've started reading it and I already am starting to enjoy it. There seems to lack chemistry between Watson and Holmes at the moment. I'm only at the point where Watson first moves into and apartment with Holmes and is still trying to understand him, but he rejects himself to easily to bring himself to even ask Holmes what he does, involving his experiments and the people he has over when Watson must isolate himself to his bedroom. He's a lonely man after all, that Watson.

I do the same thing, so I find I relate to Watson in this state very well. One of my friends has obviously been having a bad day, and I made note of it. Now we aren't talking. He got upset at me. That's the same reaction Watson expects from Holmes. My other friend isn't talking to me since he's talking with the friend who's upset with me. So I've resorted myself to this place, typing away.

I got a Snapchat from my friend in Florida. I've been getting these every so often. He sends a picture of himself saying "Hey" with a half-hearted smile. I send him back a half-hearted smile as well saying "Yo~" and then he doesn't respond after that. I can't seem to understand it. I don't know if he's checking up on me, or if that's his round-about way of saying he wants to talk with me, and he wants me to be the one to start up the conversation. If that's the case, he was definitely correct and I really don't know him as well as I thought at all. I always saw him as a straightforward kind of guy. If I'm still right about that, then I must also be right about the fact that he's just checking up on me. I'm not sure if he still likes me and if that's why--but I refuse to make any assumptions about his feelings. I've made that mistake too many times, and it's never ended well. If I don't know him as well as I thought, I can also assume that I have changed somehow in a way I wasn't aware of. Maybe I only saw him as a straightforward guy, because I wasn't as much so. Maybe I've matured since I've reached an adult age. I wouldn't call any of what I'm doing here "worrying," but instead, "driving my curiosity." Ha, that's interesting. Perhaps it's my interests that have changed me. Sherlock Holmes for example--the chapter I'm reading is called, "The Science of Deduction." I remember now even reading a paragraph where Watson clarifies himself to the reader that he isn't obsessed with Holmes, just incredibly curious. At the same time, it seems prevalent that Holmes is low-key deducing things about Watson as well--in fact he probably very well understood much about Holmes right away. Could this be my situation? Could I my friend in Florida be the Holmes to my Watson? Interesting.

You hear a pleasing and distant melody. It fills you with determination.
