Things a little strange, but somehow wonderful, are starting to take shape.
Music & Merchandising Collaboration. UNDERTALE X Square Enix. UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary. Special (?) Project. Underneath this is a tv with an Tenna, which reads “10th”. Under this is a banner reading “UNDERTALE”, and under this is text reading “Anniversary”. Huh?! UNDERTALE X SQUARE ENIX?! •Yeah, you read that right. To celebrate UNDERTALE's 10th anniversary, a special collaboration with SQEX Music & Merchandising is happening! Music, apparel-• things a little strange, but somehow wonderful, are starting to take shape. There are even whispers of some mysterious new merch** And this project isn't stopping in one place-it's rolling out worldwide! With ten years of DETERMINATION in its heart, SQEX Music & Merchandising will deliver this quirky dream collaboration to fans across the globe!

the mods have linked charities for sexual + domestic abuse victims and for lgbtq+ people which i will also link here.
i wanted to write up something about my experience in communities involving shayy, and how im feeling about the terrible things they have done. i found shayy somewhere around this time in 2021. 2021 was easily the worst year in my entire life, where i had a very debilitating breakdown in august that had been coming for around a few months, and that my mental state hasnt really recovered from since. even before this i was extremely isolated because of my disability and mental illnesses that caused me to basically not talk to anyone since i was a young child. i found a video of a speedrun shayy had done of deltarune chapter 2. i was interested in deltarune as it had basically just released and the speedrun interested me a lot. i was never really into speedrunning before this and i wanted to try it out for myself. i joined the deltarune speedrunning community because i couldnt figure out how to do a now very outdated strat. joining this server was probably the most impactful decision i made in my life. i started talking more in the server because of the welcoming environment it had and i eventually joined shayys discord server after being gifted a sub, and also the undertale speedrunning server at some point. i originally just joined shayys server because i wanted to join their sub only minecraft server, but i did stick around for other things and it became an extremely important community to me. as i mentioned earlier before i joined these communities i had basically no interaction with anybody for a very long time of my life and was extremely lonely. joining them was the first time i actually talked with people and it gave me something actually valuable in my life. i grew a lot as a person being in shayys server as i was only 14 years old when i joined, and it was the first time i got the opportunity to interact with people freely in such a long time. even now it is still basically impossible for me to make friends with people irl, with my heavy social anxiety, selective mutism and not being in school / work. i started making friends after being in the server for a while, some of them i unfortunately havent talked to in a long time, and some i still talk to today. ive been a part of multiple friend servers because of frog family, and while some of them have fallen apart or ive left for personal reasons, im really grateful for all of them and i currently have a circle of friends i appreciate a lot. theres so much i could say about my experiences with frog family but im generally just writing this section as a thank you to the friends ive made being there, and the moderators that helped keep them functioning. it is also not to make the current situation about me and how hurt i am, i just want to show appreciation to what the community has been. now to talk about the document, shayys actions are extremely disgusting and im still trying to process the fact that this has been going on for basically the entire time ive been in the community. up until now me and many people have seen their server as a safe space (especially for queer and neurodivergent people) and its horrifying to know that they have been taking advantage of and assaulting people. every single person that ive interacted with mentioned in the document is a wonderful person and a few i would say are friends.if there are any victims of shayy reading this, i am extremely sorry to hear the terrible things that you have gone through and i hope youre in a better place now. i also want to thank the moderators and everyone who worked on the document for your work on respectfully adressing the situation while getting so many insulting comments on the original post. i also do hope thSat shayy does receive any help they need and betters themself as a person. i was never at all a close friend of theirs but i did have good interactions with them and i respected them a lot. i am still very glad to know that they have been banned from the undertale and deltarune speedrunning communities, and i hope i never see them ever again. even though shayys community wont exist anymore, the relationships that youve made there are still real. if you dont have me added and want to stay in contant feel free to add me on discord (confused_coder). if you are a current victim of abuse reading this, i really hope that you can escape your situation, and please stay connected to the good people around you as much as possible. abusers have the most power when their victims are isolated so please reach out to someone. for help if possible

a director's job is not only to create their own ideas, but also to manage the ideas of every team member around them! it's called the collaborative process of making a work of art as a team! always remember that.

Just because I'm the writer/director of TADC doesn't mean I deserve all the credit for everything. There MANY times when a board artist or an animator will come up with a detail or shot that elevate the themes/characterization in a way I didn't even think of, and I'm like "fuuuuuck that's genius..."

while not exactly the same, i remember posting an excerpt from an ambient song i was making, and this one guy asked if it was AI. even as an innocuous question, i would advise thinking twice before you casually drop it, because to me, it is the equivalent of saying "are you devoid of imagination?"
eyepatchwolf.bsky.social Eyepatch Wolf @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social · 9d
i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.

If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

hiring wayne as spamton was a genius move because before sure he was a disgusting creature, but the spritework still made him look kinda cute. making a grown man live action version of him was the first instance in history where doing that actually conveyed the full artistic intent of a character

i mean this completely affectionately but i don't think it's humanly possible to make a character as disgusting as Spamton. Toby Fox was channeling dark magic when he was conceiving him.
