Headcanon: Marceline and Bubblegum enjoy talking to the Finn Sword. Sure Finn’s dead by then, but he’s still their shared moral compass. And they need someone to vent to.
[And even if Bonnie knows he isn’t there (Marceline has doubts), sometimes- when Marcy’s feeling just a bit too untethered and Bonnie is two steps away from going over the deep end…they almost hear him talk back].
So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As we’re going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover I’m holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5'2" girl.
Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.
I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.
Yes, I screamed. My date thought it was Hilarious.
Yes, we found the girls. Turns out when I grabbed the performers hand, he grabbed theirs so our group wouldn’t be separated. So there was just this zombie in the middle of our group line for like fifty feet
GOD there was a reddit thread talking about the extreme ways people were trying to save their true ending eternally so it could never be touched and reset and everybody would live on in their own digital universe
shit like copying the save to a flash drive and hiding it or locking it in an archive with an incomprehensible password
real talk its so interesting and cool that the undertale world and characters resonate so much to some that people go to such lengths to preserve their ‘existence.’ i just think thats so cool that the game does such an awesome job of making their existence seem real and important to you to the point where you refuse to replay the game
honestly, employing “refusal to play” as a satisfying game mechanic is–kind of magical. I mean, for real.
undertale is such a fantastic game that people dont want to play it again
