So for the people who are claiming that both Wade and James are lying and just doing it for the money, do you know how fucking difficult it is accuse a superstar like MJ of being pedophile. Hell, even with evidence he was declared innocent because he’s fucking Michael Jackson. The FBI could release a sex tape of MJ and a little boy tomorrow and people would still be defending him and/or denying the evidence. If calling superstars pedophiles and getting loads of cash was that easy than why haven’t other people done it? Why hasn’t anyone accused of Prince being a pedophile? Because the entire estate would sue their ass to their ground and everyone would hate them. They won’t see a fucking penny from them at all. Why? Because Prince didn’t fuck kids, he fucked women a lot of women. You don’t just give millions of dollars to someone out of court for them to shut up especially if you got a fucking crack team of lawyers like MJ did. Not only do we got detailed testimonies from both Wade which based off of their words and body language I do believe them. But there’s also the faxes, videos, them being alone together for a long amount of time, the phone calls. What kind of pop star talks to a little boy on the phone for hours and constantly send them faxes. Why would he spend his time alone with a little boy? If Michael Jackson wasn’t a pedophile and actually just cared about these kids, he would never let these kids sleep in the same bed let alone the same room as them. Someone in MJ’s shoes wouldn’t risk anything being used against them especially if it means they’ll be called a pedo. MJ could be having sex with any men or women he wanted. If I was MJ in the 80′s, I would be bringing home and fucking super models and celebrities every single fucking night instead of hanging out with little kids.
(So this is basically a theory I came up with to explain all the wildly different interpretations of canon Chara and how practically all of them are correct)
Chara A: The Chara that existed from their birth to their death. A self loathing, Misanthropic with Psychopathic traits. Though, this version of Chara isn’t an actual Psychopath. Despite being a dick, they still care deeply for their family and monsterkind, and was willing to sacrifice their own life in order for them to be free. Albeit, along with their own goal of purging humanity.
Chara B: The Chara created during the Neutral Run. This version of Chara is probably the least developed since unlike the pacifist and Genocide, none of the player’s actions really reawaken Chara, so this one has the least personality.
Chara C: The Chara created during the Pacifist Run. Learns to forgive humanity and overcome their violent nature through peace.
Chara D: The Chara created during the Genocide Run all because of the Player’s actions. A sociopathic serial killer who just wants to see everything wiped out.
I keep seeing others talk about how if they were in Curly's shoes that they'll totally stand up to Jimmy and defend Anya, but would you? Unless you've actually been in a similar situation and call out your friend for being a piece of shit, than you don't have any grounds to stand on. We'd all, myself included, would like to believe would do the right thing but would we? If your friend assaulted our co-worker, would you hold him accountable? Would you have the strength to do the right thing? There's a difference between believing and doing the right thing. I think we all have or had a Jimmy in our life. Someone who mistreated us and those around us yet we continue to defend them because they're a friend. "Oh, I know he's kind of an asshole, but he's a good person deep down. He just had a hard life." How many of us keep friends who are harmful towards us and those we care about simply because we've known them for a long time. Not excusing Curly's actions. He should of been stronger and stood up to Jimmy for Anya. Plus, he's the one who got him hired in the first place. Just pointing how Curly represents who want to believe that they'd do the right thing yet lack the strength to actually do it. And honestly, I think that's even more uncomfortable for many of us to accept. That despite everything we say and believe in, we don't have the strength to be a good person.
When looking at Jimmy's rape of Anya and Curly's failure to address it, I think it's important to recognize Pony Express's own role in it. Like with other workplaces, Pony Express's policies not only enables but encourages and protects Rapists. Within the opening scene, when Jimmy steers the ship towards the asteroid, the entire crew has their pay docked despite being completely unaware of what Jimmy is doing. Just like the crash, Pony Express's policies forces the entire crew to bare the consequences of Jimmy's actions. Rather than discourage Jimmy's actions, all it does is punish the rest of the crew as well. Anya was afraid to speak up about Jimmy raping her not only because the power he held over her as Co-Captain and him being Curly's best friend, but also the fear that if she speaks than she and the rest of her crewmates would be punished as well. She, along with everyone else except Daisuke and maybe Curly, were all struggling financially as well. If Anya's rape was reported to Pony Express, then the crew's entire pay would be docked. They would punish Anya and the rest of the crew for her pregnancy. So instead, she remains quiet and is forced to endure Jimmy's abuse and sexual harassment until her pregnancy puts her in a place where she can longer hide it. Furthermore, asides from Curly's own enabling of Jimmy's horrid actions and his own misplaced empathy, Pony Express policies discouraged Jimmy from taking action. Yet unlike Anya, Curly's ignorant to just how awful Pony Express is. While we don't know exactly how long Curly's been working for Pony Express, like his friendship with Jimmy, we can assume it's been for a while. And like his friendship with Jimmy, Curly is not only ignorant towards, but also downplays and excuses Pony Express's harmful behavior.
Anya: "Why do you think Pony Express puts a lock on the medical room doors but not the sleeping quarters?" Curly: "I suppose for the same reason they put a lock on the cockpit. Safety." Rather than recognize the lack of privacy for his crewmates as a problem, he instead tries to excuse and rationalize Pony Express's actions. Similar to how he tries to rationalize Jimmy's awful character. Curly's employment with Pony Express mirrors his friendship with Jimmy where his passivity enables their abusive behavior and hurts those around him as well. Not only does Curly refuse to speak up or do anything about Anya's rape or the lack of locks, but he also: 1) Fails to object when they're forced to take in an intern despite only having enough resources and cryopods for 4 people. 2) Doesn't say anything about the unsafe working environment for both Swansea and Daisuke. 3) How Anya's not only the nurse but also women on the ship while everyone. Like with Jimmy, Curly's blind loyalty and passivity towards Pony Express, enables their awful abuse. Instead of doing the right thing and accept the consequences that come with it, he instead chooses to remain blind and takes the easy way out. Now none of this excuses either Jimmy's or Curly's actions or lack thereof. Jimmy's still responsible for raping Anya, trying to kill everyone in a suicide crash and forcing everyone to suffer. Meanwhile, Curly's the one who decided to hire Jimmy as Co-Captain despite being aware that he's an Ex-con, not Pony Express. Yes, they allowed it when they shouldn't of, but it was ultimately Curly's decision to hire him. And Curly still holds the blame for placing his friendship with Jimmy over Anya's safety and the rest of his crew. However, Pony Express's policies and workplace culture created an environment where Anya is forced to remain silent, Jimmy's sexual abuse of her is enabled, and the only person able to help her, Curly, is too submissive towards them both for him to be of any of help.

I’ve been hearing these words timelines and AUs being thrown around and use interchangeably as if they are one and the same when that’s anything further from the truth. Which is why my pretentious ass is gonna try to explain the difference a timeline and an Alternate Universe as well as how to tell the difference.
First off, we have to mention that Undertale clearly possesses a multiverse -an Underverse if you will- in which every Universe resides in and within each universe is a timeline. Unlike the multiverse though, which can contain an infinite number of alternate universes, a universe may only have one timeline active at a once. The only way for a new timeline to become active is through reloading or resetting back to a previous point in time. Meanwhile, a new universe is always created due to the actions of transdimensional beings who reside outside of the Under-verse (aka: us). It is impossible for anyone that resides within the Under-verse to create a new universe by themselves without the help of a transdimensional being. At best, they can create new timelines, but that’s it.
So since we establish the basics, let’s get down to the key difference. Timelines are essentially the variables of a universe. They can be radically different from one another, but so long as they are a possibility within a universe, they can exist. For example: Chara never falling into the underground, Asriel and Chara both surviving, or the war never occurring in the first place. While the results may sometimes be radically different from another, they are all possible.
As for alternate universes, they are essentially the non-possibilities of a universe, no matter what, it is physically impossible for them to exist as a timeline in Undertale. Generally, Anything that operates under different mechanics and universal laws then Undertale or radically alters or swaps the souls of characters counts as an AU. Note: just because characters have a different personality than in canon, that does not always mean their soul: IE, their subconscious, inner self, or whatever, has been altered as well.
For example, let’s say Alphys decides to build a body for Napstablook alongside Mettaton as well. This event will effect and alter their personalities from that point forth, but who they are inside remains the same, plus that action is a possibility so it would count as being an alternate timeline.
If it was something like Sans always had the personality of Papyrus, vice-verse, or whatever. So long as they possess zero or barely any similarities to their Undertale self, then they exist within an alternate universe. Like if Monster Kid now acts exactly like Joseph Stalin or if Toriel acts like a crazy Florida lady that hates children, then that change would count it as an AU.
Now I mentioned before how only one timeline can be active in a universe at a timeline. Which may have some of you thinking “Doesn’t that mean all the different fanworks of Undertale are alternate Universes then even if the change is rather minor?”
Just because only one timeline can be running at once, it doesn’t mean that other timelines can’t exist alongside it just in a sort of limbo mode. Take for example a race between twelve different horses. The people within the active timeline perceive horse #3 as the winner, while we can perceive any of the horses winning or none at all, we just have to choose the outcome we want to see and we’ll see it.
So no, not every fanwork is an alternate universe. Some are AUs and others timelines, which are which, you decide because I honestly don’t have the time to go through every single one because there are literally thousands. I’m just doing this because I find it fun applying logic and rules to a world with spaghetti loving Skeletons and Metrosexual ghost-bot David Bowie.
By the way, do you want a theory/view on souls or determination next?
Now that Trump is your President, many of you are thinking about moving to Canada. Well I say welcome abroad (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp), but first there are some things you need to know first before you become a Canadian Citizen.
1) you must be over eighteen years old
2) You must be able to both speak and write in either French or English
3) Have lived in Canada as a permanent Resident for the 4 out of 6 years before you apply
4) be physically present in Canada for 183 days or more during each of those four years.
5) filled your taxes for at least four years since the past six years as well as pay any income tax that you might owe.
6) Apply for citizenship within Canada.
You may not become a citizen if you have an inadequate knowledge in either French or English, nor can you become one if are or have recently been in Prison. Additionally, for anyone under the age of eighteen, your legal guardian(s) must apply for you and they have to be either a Canadian citizen or applying to become one themselves. However, if you are a minor, you do not need to meet the residency requirements. Finally, if you are or have been part of the Canadian Armed Forces, you may be eligible for a fast-track application process.
Note: all of the above info was gathered from here http://settlement.org/ontario/immigration-citizenship/citizenship/apply-for-canadian-citizenship/how-do-i-apply-for-canadian-citizenship/
Now the first step to becoming a Canadian is that you need to be a Permanent Resident. A Permanent Resident is someone who has been given permanent Residence Status by the Canadian government. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp
Additionally, the website: “Move to Canada -15 miles http://15miles.info/move-to-canada/“ can help you see your chances of becoming a permanent resident. If you have an advanced degree, 2 or more years of professional experience, and $12,000 ($9000 USD) or more in savings, you can probably immigrate to Canada within a year. If you want a more detailed answer, take their quiz and see how good your chances are.
Now the final step to become a Canadian citizen is the Citizenship Test: a written and oral test where you’ll be asked about
the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of Canadian citizens,
Canada’s democracy and ways to take part in Canadian society,
Canadian political and military history (including the political system, monarchy and branches of government),
Canadian social and cultural history and symbols, and
Canadian physical and political geography.
Additionally, this test will also be used to see if you have adequate knowledge in either English or French. For more info on the citizenship test see here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-test.asp
So to answer the question you may all be wondering, no you can’t just move to Canada because you dislike Trump. You need to actually be prepared and have a plan if you want to live in Canada.
I understand that many of you are scared, myself included since we rely heavily on trading with the US, and that you may be wanting to move to Canada, but remember this.
Trump isn’t the first, nor will he be the last. There have always been idiotic and terrible leaders throughout every nation in history. Yet despite this, many nations are still standing. Why? Because their citizens never gave up. They still believed in their country, it’s people and wished it to be the best it can be, and they fought or still are fighting for that dream.
If you are afraid of living in America either due to your sexuality, religion or ethnicity, etc, and wish to move somewhere safer, I totally understand. And you want to become a Canadian, I welcome you open arms, but I beg of you. Do not give into nihilism and abandon your country. Discrimination has and always existed. It may not always be obvious at times, but every country has its xenophobes of various degrees. Canada is no exception as shocking as that might be.
So keep on fighting for what you believe in. Even if the entire nation is telling you to move, you must stand firm like a tree and say “no, you move”.
Remember Trump isn’t America. Nor are the republicans, Hilary, the Democrats, Obama or any other politician or political party. You are America, just as we are Canada.
You are the heart and soul of America. And if you truly believe in your country, you will make damn sure that both are as bright and vibrant as they can be.
