(Also I was listening to The Thought Movie's first theme. Still don't know what it's called or its link. But it's super good for overly dramatic meaningful talks! Enjoy.)

I've known about Undertale since the first Treesicle video of it. So about 7 years or so. I remember not buying it because I was scared of asking for things, I remember all the comic dubs of silly scenes, I remember sans wearing Papyrus's scarf and how cool it was (And still is) to me.

I remember Underfell, Glitchtale, Interlopers, Inverted Fate, Undertoad, Undertale DDD, Undertale Yellow, Deltatravelers, Under (her) tail), Error/Ink/Dream/Core.F/etc, Aftertale which I don't think I ever understood. And I've forgotten probably a lot more.

I really like disbelief Papyrus, Edgy Sans, Evil and Good Chara, and all the weird ships.

I remember a Undertale YouTuber doing bad things to one of the Starbot Dubs members. I used to watch him a lot, but his channel was destroyed. And he vanished like air in oil factories. I hope his doing better things, and I hope who was hurt is healed.

I've heard hundreds perhaps even a thousand megalovanias, I've listened to His Theme from Man on the Internet to this day, and I'm considering trying RecD Patreon for that Undersong stuff.

I've looked at plenty of fangames and seen how few get past the ruins... and how fewer have a mac version.

I can beat the sans fight first try. I can still not beat most of the fangames though, their really hard and sometimes unfair.

Ironically, I have never actually played/finished Undertale, even though I know it like the back of my hand. Yup, pretty insane huh? My experience with Undertale is practically 100% based on the fandom. I guess it's obvious why I never got all the complaints about its supposed toxicity.

I guess I love Undertale less than the things around it. I don't think that's a common sentiment, but with a game so big it's gotta happen occasionally right?

So its fair to say the Undertale Fandom was my childhood, but my childhood has been gone for a while now, still, it was nice to go back for a few months.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Why am I telling you all this?

Eh, I don't know. Some things are said just for them to be said. You uh probably found that a lot in this story. It was made with little thought and even less time. But I guess instinct took over. All those years of fandom experience culminating to make something that I could smile back on. Might be the only one I can, if the delays don't make it apparent, I'm not very good at sticking to things.

But this isn't about me, this is about this story.

I can say with confidence that many of the jokes were inspired by Undertale dub youtube videos, by things I'd likely seen and digested in the fandom. At least the fourth-wall breaks definitely were.

The lyrics? Inspired or straight-up references to songs like "Stronger than you." which is epic.

The meta shit? I got that from thinking too hard about the game's plot in a Kriselle server. Like "Why doesn't Asgore or any other monster do this or that or-" and so on and so forth. In some ways, stuff like the angel and new barrier rules were things I made to fix plot holes I'd thought I'd seen in the story. I hope no one looks down on the game though for not being perfectly logical. After all, it is a UnderTALE, like a bedtime story y'know? Not everything is meant to work under scrutiny, and I think that's fine as well.

After all, what Undertale does well is...eh. Trying to find something new to say about this game is hard. I'm sure you've heard it all before. Even this spiel from another guy with better grammar. Still, you came all this way, and you're still reading even past the end. So I guess I owe you some sort of conclusion.

Undertale is a good mixture of things. It's light and dark. It's tragic and hopeful. It's meaningful and silly. Most of all the people around it, all the AUs, all the heated arguments, all the bad, good, and kiwi. I think that's what makes it special, at least for me. So if I get to be another voice in the chorus...well, I guess that's fine. Just hope mine is not too crooked.

Well, I'm done talking as if the whole world is looking. And sorry if this all sounds like a jumbled mess, tumbling feelings are often like that.

The point is, I gained a lot from all those things. So even if it might seem silly or stupid or cringe or immature or fanon or whatever else, maybe give them a try once in a while. A lot of voices are crooked, but a lot also got a good tune. So keeping an ear out and listening is good for you ya know?

Well, that's that. I'll probably do one more of these to self-advertise or whatever. But if you don't care about any of that, just know that I'm glad you heard my voice for a while, I really do appreciate the audience.

And so...I was gonna end on something meaningful. But I think I've forgotten something very vital, oh right
