Yandere machine accident (always have eyes on your batchers.)

*nulls where just exploring some empty abandoned lab finding all sorts of interesting things all over but at the same time unsettling but null arcs being their normal selves- walking warning signs.*

Ordo: Mereel watch where you put yourself you di’kut this could be booby trapped!” *glaring at his daredevil batcher.*

Mereel: don’t worry so much Ordo or your hair my become snow if you do *He says that just as he throws his hands out in a expressive gesture smacking Ordo in the face making him stumble*

*the other nulls where- doing whatever they do for Ordo’s sake not causing issues…even if that is likley the case. He adjusted his stance only to get a sense someone was doing something they shouldn’t.*

Ordo: Mereel what is th- NO do no-“ *Ordo was cut off when the thing Mereel had in his hand turned on and started to shake before exploding in a bright light blinding both arcs and their screams.*

*the others Prudii, Kom'rk, Jaing and A'den came running to whoever’s their vode where finding the pair dazed, relief..though it was a wonder what happened…for now they needed to get their vode out. Least to say any hopes of this being easy or relief turned to dread later as Prudii reads what project this room contained- somerhinh that sounded like a fanfic di’kut wrote- Yandere machine, but for the nulls that was doom and would very much have to contain their two affected batchers contamination containment and fix them- somehow.

“I DON’T KNOW.”

this is honestly just an excuse to draw baby papyrus!! i personally like the headcanon that papyrus and sans are very close in age, as i think (?) that they were supposed to be twins or left ambiguous (but had to be changed for japanese localization). howeverr, i made some creative liberties in this animation so. here, have parental sibling sans.

i’d like to imagine that if baby papyrus had a gaster blaster, it would have round jaws (like bby papy’s widely spread fanon design) and be crying (due to a desperate want to not kill). him not having arms like monster kid is such a silly idea to me and i honestly love the concept of child monsters slowly growing arms over time!! (also i don’t wanna draw his hands and arms 😓) this video is kinda up for interpretation to what it means. could it have a connection to gaster? does papyrus know something? does sans know something? are we in deltarune or undertale? is there no deeper meaning at all? i have no idea either!!! use your imagination!!!!!

Excerpt from The Last Command by Timothy Zahn (1993):

 “But…It was so artistically done.”

Thrawn’s last line starts with the word “but,” almost as if under normal circumstances he would be furious that his plans had unraveled so spectacularly and without him knowing it. Instead, he says “but,” and he says it calmly, with a smile on his face. He can’t be mad, because to him, his opponent beat him with the same level of attention he put into his plans. Because it was masterful and because even he could not have predicted the genius of turning the Noghri against him and then silently infiltrating Wayland.

The irony here is that our heroes actually didn’t put that much thought into his defeat specifically. I would argue that Thrawn’s true opponent was Leia, as it was her skill in politics, negotiation and empathy that both turned the Noghri against Thrawn and got Mara Jade to reveal the location of Wayland. In a way, it was Leia’s art that Thrawn didn’t account for.

This line alone also makes me ask – what does Thrawn really care about? Looking only at Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy and no other material, it is clear that Thrawn likes to win. He also likes to prove his worth, becoming one of the few high ranking, non-human imperial officials. But more than that, Thrawn loves art and psychology. He craves knowledge, surrounding himself by other cultures’ art in order to learn, to improve and to win.

So, did Thrawn really care about the Empire at all? What was his true motivation? There is little evidence in the trilogy to suggest that Thrawn cares a lot about ruling the galaxy or in reviving the Empire. In fact, Pellaeon even states at one point that Thrawn has created a new empire, different than the one before, with his ingenuity and proportional punishments for failure. So why is he doing it? Truthfully, I don’t think this question really answered in the trilogy, leaving it up to the readers to decide. But from his last line as he dies, I’d hazard to say Thrawn doesn’t care about the empire or superiority or anything of the sort. He cares only about the art of war. To him, war is a chessboard, a game for him to play. Sure, he loves to win but he can appreciate when he loses. And that is why he can’t be mad at his defeat. Because it was so artistically done.
