    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.

    Summary

    This is not fair. It’s not fair, it’s not fair. Even if it’s with difficulty, they can somehow bear it if they’re caught in the crossfire of all this. But. Berdly. Noelle. They…

    This shouldn’t have happened.

    This never should’ve happened. Noelle shouldn’t have been forced to kill an entire city’s worth of Darkners. She shouldn’t have been forced to cast a spell that froze Berdly solid into a thick crystal of ice. Berdly shouldn’t be lying here lifelessly.

    They can do something about at least one of these things. They need to get him to the hospital.

    In the aftermath of Snowgrave, Kris rips out the SOUL lodged inside them and leaves through the window to try and fix at least some things. This includes shambling across the town to get Berdly, still-unconscious in the computer lab, somewhere safe.

    Kris's terrible awful no-good very bad night; set in Chapter 2 but written with the insight obtained in Chapter 4 of Kris being the one to bring Berdly to the hospital.

    Oh man. Good stuff with Papyrus's memories and ideas about people, hints of it conflicting with Sans's memories, Flowey's claimed intentions, Frisk's views on everything, Undyne's pov meeting Papyrus AND how her house catches on fire in those neutral paths, now with increasing poking at skeleton backstories

    Summary

    i never make posts like this, but i feel like this is necessary to warn others to steer clear of this person. i’m tired of people supporting and defending him in this fandom when his victims try to warn other people. i’m calling out @qingqiu on twitter for his abuse of me and other people when i was a minor.
