They would fit the “other worldly being and morally questionable scientist” trope

Sci would bribe NM to study his ‘guardian-ness’ for the “greater good” and NM would get a MASSIVE fucking ego boost

... Read moreThe SciMare dynamic refers to striking themes visible in various narratives, particularly in fan-driven creations like Undertale. Characters often embody conflict, showcasing a blend of morality and otherworldly attributes. In particular, the trope of a morally ambiguous scientist influences character development and adds depth to their interactions. Exploring relationships in this framework can reveal inner motivations, such as an ego boost from recognition. This complexity not only enhances the character arcs but also invites players and audiences to engage on multiple levels, assessing right versus wrong in a fantastical context. Works revolving around SciMare often invite discussions about the fine line between heroism and moral ambiguity, challenging fans to explore deeper philosophical concepts within entertainment narratives. Additionally, communities rally around hashtags like #scimare and #UTMV to share their interpretations and creative content, fostering a collaborative environment for artistic expression and critical analysis.

🧪SCI-FI + PARASITIC HORROR TROPES
🔬Sci-fi horror and parasitic horror overlap, but they don’t feel the same to me. 🔬SCI-FI HORROR is usually about the unknown — aliens, experiments, or something we don’t fully understand yet. 🔬The fear comes from not knowing what it is or how it works. 👾PARASITIC HORROR takes it further.
