19, swiss, come check out my story on AO3: Fade Away Interested in other fics from Undertale? Join the Fanfic Paradise! I'm not very active on this account, so if I take a while to respond, it's because I forgot to check my tumblr!

Every time I see a post about updog I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help the poster complete their joke.

okay but what’s updog ?

Updog is a long sausage in a bun often served with ketchup, mustard, onion e, and/or relish.

No, that’s a hotdog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released

You’re thinking of update. Updog is when you end a sentence with a rising intonation.

No, that’s uptalk.  You’re thinking of the fourth-largest city in Sweden.

surely that’s Uppsala, whereas Updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs

You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

no that’s an updraft

updog isn’t a noun at all, it’s a verb; it basically means to chew someone out, or harshly lecture them

No, that’s upbraid. An updog is a small dog that likes cuddling on people’s laps.

No that’s a puppydog. An updog is when the Mets win.

No that’s an upset. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

What’s a henway?

Oh, about 5 pounds.

In order to celebrate the completion of @finespecimenretrieved‘s Undertale fanfic Fade Away, here’s a small little thing I was somehow inspired to draw while reading the epilogue. This fanfiction was simple in all the good ways – deep and angsty, but not over the top. It is all about the journey and not about the destination, as this fanfic portrays beautifully.

I’d rather not give the AO3 link because tumblr will screw this post, but if you have any free time and enjoy Undertale, go read this fanfic! ^^

My first time doing a work solely in pencil…whoof.

This is sorta spontaneous, sorta spoilery fanart for in our days we will live (like our ghosts will live) by @finespecimanretrieved . I won’t link it here so tumblr doesn’t snipe this post, but PLEASE go look it up on Ao3!! It’s a Rosemary reincarnation fic (with some A++ Dave & Rose sibling bonding on the side) that punched me right in the trope.

this! is! so! good!!!! thank you so so much!!! god every time i look at it i want to yell in joy

a true fact about spiders is they can’t run for extended periods of time because they have asthma. all spiders are nerds. even tarantulas. have you ever seen a spider dating a hot babe? i doubt it. spider flashing his cash in the club? nope. spider pulling up beside you at the lights in a lamborghini? never happened. they’ve got so many eyes because they love reading. nerds. all of them.

Depending on who you ask, the heartbeat bill is no joke. Gov. Kasich vetoed a similar measure in 2016 but now the republican senate has enough majority to potentially overturn a veto. Many republican lawmakers are hoping to use ohio to bring abortion back to the federal supreme court and overturn Roe v Wade. This is all in the last article I linked from the New York Times btw

So if the first article sounds too clickbait-y for you just know that ohio is actually proposing, and has a good chance of passing strict anti-abortion laws 🙃
