Lesser Dog Is Always Alone

Lesser dog is always alone

Lesser dog to me used to be just a cute, funny dog. C'mon, what could be strange or sad about this cutie?

That was until I looked in the trivia section of the Undertale Wiki and found some things that I had never noticed about lesser dog before: Lesser dog is never mentioned by the other guard dogs, killing them provokes no reaction from them, and if lesser dog is the only royal canine left alive the way it behaves at grillby's does not change. Also, the red bird NPC comments on the royal guard dogs being missing even if lesser dog is still there.

In the true pacifist run, lesser dog is the only dog to not be outside the snowdin library playing with Endogy.

Even the way it's encountered feels disconnected from the rest of the canine unit. All the other dogs are scheduled encounters that occur in specific places with a cutscene and stuff, but lesser dog just appears like any other monster and there's no guarantee you'll run into them at all.

Lesser dog sitting alone in the corner of grillby's, playing card games with itself and losing used to be just funny, but now it makes me wonder. Why are they so isolated from everyone else? Do they feel lonely? Why did Toby Fox include these details? To make us sad? Will we never get the answers?

I'm happy to announce that the forgettable-au comic will start soon‼️

This month I'm gonna post the whole prologue! It's gonna have 20 pages in total ^^

After that I'll hopefully start to update the comic weekly from chapter 1 !

I can't say exactly wich day I'm gonna post the prologue, but definitely this month! I'll let you guys know a few days before :D That day I will also open the discord server again

Out of curiosity, what exactly happened when blue went to nightmare to ask if he could join the bad sanses? Like did they fight at first? Did nightmare taunt blue prior to him asking? Like what happened?

Probably something like this 💞

I’d like to think that Nightmare was partially the one that sought Blue out in the first place 🤗

After all, as a general headcanon I have for Nightmare is that he loves to collect broken things

pls rb if you think cuddling doesn't have to be s3xual

im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out

One thing I've learned about how to be pleasant to be around is to not imply I'm disagreeing when I ask for clarification. If something doesn't make sense to me, but the person telling me about it is clearly confident that the thing is as they say it is, there is no scenario in which saying "well that can't be right" and arguing them would lead to a positive outcome. If they are right and you are wrong, you started an argument about it for no reason and looked like an idiot the whole time, and even if you are right and they didn't think of it the way they see it, you still looked like a dick about it.

The best way to handle these things is approaching the matter with the attitude of "I am assuming that you know this matter better than I do, but while I trust that you know how it is, I cannot see what the inner logic of it is", and start from the assumption that this massive oversight you just saw is no oversight at all - the solution to it is simply not immediately obvious.

So if you're introduced to someone's innovation that - to you - looks like it's just going to immediately explode once it's turned on, there is no winning outcome to immediately blurting out "well that's just fucking stupid, it's just going to explode as soon as you turn it on!" because either you're going to be immediately schooled about how it won't do that, and made yourself look stupid, or then even if you were right, you're rude and made them feel stupid.

When instead, you could respond with (real or feigned) willing curiosity, asking "what kind of mechanisms do you have here to prevent it from exploding immediately?" therefore showing interest in the inner workings of the project, and your trust on the person's expertise about the matter. And either they will excitedly tell you what the explosion-prevention mechanisms are, or you saved them the embarrassment of noticing on the spot that they really hadn't thought of that. And even so, they'll be grateful if not downright flattered that you'd assume they were smarter than that.

Most of the time when you get yourself embarrassed and find yourself asking "how was I supposed to know that?" you weren't embarrassed for not knowing. You weren't supposed to know. You embarrassed yourself by supposing that you knew.
