they/it, 32, poly aspec; verdantviridity on Pillowfort and mainly active on Tumblr as humunanunga & irreyre.
like, Heart is the soul Aspect, yeah, but deeper than that, it's the Aspect for identity– character, personality, personhood. Mind is the Aspect governing deliberation, and that is the power over Kris and their party that they contain in their Soul.

in practice, Kris serves the Aspect of choice.

so maybe it's fitting that the guy who wrote an adaptation of the prophecy and encouraged Susie to subvert it was a turtle who threw hammers and shells and had the kinda surname you'd expect a bo-bomb to have.

...but Bowser is abnormally big for a koopa, he has horns and spikes, and he breathes fire like the archetypal dragon.

and then I remembered, the tarasque is also unusual for dragon because it's often portrayed with a shell like a turtle's

like, Mario's basically a new twist on the dragonslayer genre. Peach is still the abducted princess, but the knight is instead a plumber, and Bowser's king of the koopas, which are supposed to be turtles or turtle-adjacent...

the Undertale 10th anniversary stream confirmed human-monster relationships, which furthers suspicions that Susie could be a hybrid...

if Deltarune confirms that later, I think that pretty much means humans are Dittos.

which is that reproductive viability between #UTDR monsters operates a lot like egg groups in Pokemon.

like, my point is, if you set aside anthropomorphization, the only animal monsters that aren't at least a little chimeric seem to be the dogs, cats and maybe bears.

and my headcanon for the reason accounts for why a lot of children come from parents of similar species.

the goat family has fangs and paws.

the alleygator has a navel and no belly scales, and she can stick her tongue out.

Gerson has teeth.

the bunnies have bald noses.

Jockington... has incisors? and a snout like some kind of crocodilian?

Undyne can blink.

cuz like... that's not a deer nose. and those aren't deer lips. and those definitely aren't deer teeth.

and the Holidays would be far from the first beast monsters to have mixed animal features.
