anything purple and or with tentacles especially if it would ebony darkness dementia raven way nightmares for a solid decade also cats what about your friend
all the sharp ones i know theres some bugs that have knifes on their hands and the plant ones too maybe? they wouldn't catch those though theyd get all really strong ones i know theyd like battling a lot they wanted to fight all the time even for dumb stuff
maybe they dont really like humans i think im the only one theyre okay with theyre mad at a lot of monsters too not the same way but theyre really grumpy :( it was a lot of resets before they really liked me either but i kept i know why they didnt like me i dont think they really forgave me for it
[Dave gives that the pause it deserves, going over the words until they really mean something, until they accumulate a fraction of the weight they must hold for Frisk.
Dave's killed lots of monsters.
He's never killed something who took a name for him.]
[Scared. Ha ha. The human, the Anomaly, scared of a monster. When just a child could defeat even their greatest warriors, what threat could they even be, really?]
she was too she was trying to keep me safe i can come back i should have i should have tried harder but i just kept going anyway and i kept getting more love and i i stopped caring it was just easier
[They remember the numb feeling washing through their mind with each kill. More distance, more strength. Easier to make the next kill, to take a life and move on like it was nothing. Like it's just a game.]
the stuff we do when were put into extraordinary situations terrifying and dangerous and sometimes when our lifes on the line i mean none of that is going to go away but its not the whole of who you are youre a good person and you dont want to hurt anyone and you dont have to make excuses for anyone else either you already do so much to protect them now surviving back then wasnt and isnt wrong
but i dont die i never die it always goes back even when i tried to it i always go back nothing can stop it i should have kept trying from the beginning i should have tried to save everyone
[It feels like spitting in Dave's face. They know he's just trying to help, that he wants to protect them, but...he didn't see. He only knows the mask they wear now, and he thinks it's who they are. He never saw the selfish thing that lies underneath.]
im letting this go for now but you should think about it ok? maybe even ask other people you can do it anonymously if you need to ive learned a lot myself that way
