Happy 8th Anniversary Undertale

Happy 8th anniversary Undertale

The die is cast.

september is apparently suicide awareness/prevention month, so shout out to all the babes who thought they wouldnt still be here, love you all, life is hard but we continue the long walk home

it so wasn't intentional but why does qsmp go SO FUCKING HARD with animal symbolism. like, one of the only members of the federation we actually see is a bear: massively threatening, extremely powerful animals who are at the top of all of their food chains, which if you extend cucurucho to being a Polar bear, one of the most massive and dangerous of all land animals on earth (as well as one of the few solely carnivorous bears) becomes even greater. and though osito bimbo is a bit kinder than cucurucho... well, there are all kinds of bear species and most of them aren't just predators, they're omnivorous, and none of them are as powerful as polar bears, even if they all can pose very significant danger to all other animals. all bears can and will prey on birds. because too, on the other hand, so many of the islanders—for one reason or another—are associated with birds...

these islanders are also some of the people to be tied closest to the federation or to have been fucked with the federation the worst. jaiden and baghera, who both have forgotten pasts with the federation, with jaiden, being Literally dubbed Blue Bird BY the federation and being manipulated by cucurucho into trusting them and using her attachment to her Dead son and the eggs to make that happen. and baghera, the duck, who was cruelly experimented on seemingly as a child, and once escaped the federation's grasp... but has ended up back there all the same. quackity, another duck, who only suffered misfortune throughout his time on the island, being taken by the feds for months and lost his memory and literacy because of nothing but their cruelty. (and there's elquackity too but. I ain't even touching that) and now, phil, a crow... who was lied to and told his children fledged without him, and was trapped by the polar bear in a birdhouse. a cage for a cage.

they're all birds, in a way, associated with beauty, music, frailty, and above all else, freedom. no other creature on earth can wander the earth as freely and without worry as they can, and yet they're all stuck on an inescapable island. they are birds who cannot fly away. and their main tormenter of all is that great polar bear who can hunt them and can kill any bird in the blink of an eye, with its massive strength and the birds' hollow bones and helplessness against a threat such as that. it's probably a coincidence that the federation logo looks so much like a bird cage too, but... that doesn't mean that fact has to be irrelevant, either. how funny they used the cage for a cage line back at phil to cruelly imprison him, too, when crows are one of the smartest animals on earth, and who live in very loving, caring, and social family units?

and lastly let's not forget about the only other entity we've seen which seems to hold any power at all in the federation, el pato, or the manager, a little yellow duck, just like quackity and baghera. what could this mean for this whole story? why a duck would behave so cruelly to all sorts of members of its own kind? or most likely it's something else completely behind the mask only using the image of a duck, something so sweet and recognized that nobody would never want to hurt, to stay in its victims' good graces. whose to say, really... but i think it's all quite interesting.

This post is clinically insane and i am just completely making 90% of this up. but i don't care. I love birds and animals and creatures. ^_^ <3

Gonna have to get some actual barn cats, because Jetta is far too comfortable inside the house now

She stole my tortilla blanket

Hmm... well if Starclan cats can give lives blessed with certain traits what about Tigerclaw getting his nine lives from cats that he's killed with negative traits... curses instead of blessings...

Redtail a life of debt
