This piece of text about the War always made me curious. It obviously shows humans are capable of using magic, but it never says how.
We know monsters are magical, they are capable of using magic due to the fact their physical bodies are made of magic and composed wholly of their SOULS, whereas Human’s bodies and SOULS are separate. And Monster’s magic changes depending on their form and their SOUL (thoughts, feelings, etc.)
So how do certain Humans learn magic? How is it different from Monster magic? Is it really all that different, or is it of a similar nature? Is composed of Human SOUL power? The Barrier reacts to SOUL power, so does that mean it was created with SOUL power?
It’s one of the big mysteries in Undertale lore I desperately want to know more about.
This has always fascinated me as well. I would have loved to have more insight on how different (if at all) human magic is from monster magic.
One of my headcanons is that after monsters were banished, magic in the human world diminished greatly because monsters were gone. Their interactions with the world at large was one of the greatest sources for magic and nobody realized that. Naturally occurring magical things stopped existing or are extremely rare in the human floor like echo flowers, enchanted forests, fairy lights, etc. Maybe the only kind of magic still existing in the human world is the practical kind, like potions or enchantments. Or maybe it only exists in some small capacity where a few monsters still roam, like around the Loch Ness Lake. Nessie being one of few monsters that weren’t captured by the barrier.
Which could also mean another situation. If monsters are a big source of magic, that means that THEY are the ones keeping the barrier up. Its their belief that they are trapped that keeps them Underground and that’s why it takes a human element to convince them otherwise.
If you think about it, each of the seven soul colours have their own magic, but it probably lays dormant. It could probably be unlocked somehow.
If you think about it, the red souls ability to return after death is a magic in itself. As well as the yellow souls ability to fire projecties and the green souls ability to create shields. Blue probably has some sort of gravity manipulation. Orange is strength. Not sure what purple or light blue are. But yeah, many humans are probably able to use magic, it’s just dormant.

the reason we didn’t get to hear blue pearl speak is that she can only say fuck
This would imply that blue diamond had her made with that being one of her main functions which I am okay with.
My Eyes
Felt like experimenting with a less fast-paced song. Also I hadn’t tried splitscreens yet. So here’s a song from Dr. Horrible, a musical I like.
god I’m absolutely going to hell I’m sorry guys
I was at my friend’s engagement party yesterday and everyone was about to do cheers with these nasty ass shots of blue tequila but I don’t drink and I especially do not drink tequila, blue or otherwise, so I grabbed a piece of bread from the basket on the table and just tapped it against people’s glasses like it was a legitimate beverage instead of a wheat byproduct
and one of my friends was like ‘ho what in god’s name are you doing’
and I didn’t know how to say I would rather slice of my own foot than drink tequila so I just held my bread up and said ‘I’m toasting’
and in that moment I felt my soul descend directly into the eighteenth circle of hell
As a dad i approve of this
“i wish pokemon were real!”
beedrill is three feet tall
yeah but lets be real here if it meant I could live in a world with completely free healthcare and take tours across entire countries on foot with superpowered animal/else companions I would fight a hundred fucking beedrill at once naked with only a butter knife
as i say every time i see this post,
you can catch beedrill and earn the purest fucking love from its little bee heart with a muffin you earn playing a minute of yarn toss
beedrill is not your enemy
Let’s think about life in the Pokemon world for a minute…
First of all, there’s universal free healthcare across the planet. That’s more that a lot of places in our world can say. Moreover, fresh water on this world is apparently so nutrient-rich that it can cure moderate injuries, to say nothing of what berries can do. Therefore, the inhabitants of this world are probably very physically healthy, and those with disabilities (who by default cannot be “healthy”) don’t have to worry about losing their healthcare due to lack of money.
Politics-wise, there isn’t much of a government. Despite this, the world seems relatively peaceful. Private individuals, some as young as eleven, can be expected to deal with crime themselves. War has occurred in the past, but the general political sentiment appears to be very anti-war - cruelty is strongly frowned upon.
Economically, it’s true that there are some people with economic issues - like that one dude in Mauville Hills in ORAS - but generally there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of homelessness or poverty. Some people are more well-off than others - vastly so in some cases - but largely poverty doesn’t seem to exist.
Then there’s the wildlife.
Strange, supernatural creatures of unknown origin and great power populate this planet. An unarmed adult human is no match for even one of these creatures. But the vast majority of the wildlife is extremely friendly to the point where it’s almost all domesticated. Small children are given these creatures as companions and allowed to go out into the open world with them, as they will be safe and able to survive.
Even the scariest of these monsters can be tamed with love and care. Beedrill will love you if you toss yarn at it, sure. So will things like Gyarados, Hydreigon, and the Pokemon equivalent of Lucifer. No Pokemon is untameable so long as you are kind to it.
This in turn has fostered a culture of kindness. It is infinitely more rewarding to be kind to the living creatures around you. Those who are cruel are quickly steamrollered by those who build up close, loving bonds. Even then, a lot of people are concerned that this society of love and kindness is somehow too cruel (to the point where it was the entire plot of gen V).
That love and kindness is extended to all humans. People trust random strangers who walk into their homes. Items are randomly just given out on the street, often for no reward beyond a warm fuzzy feeling. Almost comical levels of generosity and acceptance are expected on this planet. And if you decide to betray that and take advantage of people…
Well, I hope you like having your ass kicked by an adorable eleven-year-old with a nice hat and a yarn-loving Beedrill.
Also, it’s worth pointing out that even if someone is disabled (and I’d argue that it’s kind of inaccurate to equate disability with a lack of health, but that’s a whole other thing) there is almost certainly a pokemon that can act as a disability aid.
Have trouble walking or balancing? There are pokemon you can lean on or ride. Have anxiety/PTSD/depression? There are pokemon who can help soothe your emotions and comfort you. Have sensory overload issues? Joint pain or tremors that make it hard for you to do things with your hands? There are pokemon that can help you.
Between the free healthcare, the culture of kindness and generosity, and the fact that you can have a service pokemon for pretty much ANY DISABILITY YOU CAN THINK OF… well, as a disabled person with chronic pain, I think most of my spoonie friends would agree that it’s basically the ideal place for people like us to live.
