Gaster would have laughed at Aku’s predicament. That was the downside of caring about things. If you cared about someone who was weaker than you, there was always a chance something would happen to them, and there would be nothing you could do to stop it. Such was the case with Aku.
But Gaster had little time to say so before the tar was upon him, intent on closing around his form and trapping him. Though Gaster doubted Aku could seriously injure him, he wasn’t too keen in finding out if that was entirely true.
When the net closed in on him, the monster vanished, stepping into the void and disappearing. However, a low chuckle rang out in the air- a clear indication that he wasn’t done here. Not yet.
The whole ‘caring causes pain’ was a concept with which Aku was (unhappily) finding himself more and more familiar. In many ways he wished it would go away and never plague him again, but just as Gaster had tainted Azura’s soul, the feeling couldn’t be washed off, burned off, or willed away.
Aku snarled when the doctor teleported out of his trap and the tar fell back into a thick pool of darkness. Though he could no longer see the doctor, he could still hear his goading laughter. But he couldn’t pinpoint where the sound was coming from. It was as if Gaster was nowhere and yet… everywhere.
This was new to Aku and he definitely didn’t like it. The demon stood still, his eyes moving here and there as he listened and waited.
“no that’s aku” but what is Aku if not a reflection of the world that surrounds him? If you perceive the world as cruel, there’s only one real way to survive
Sad but true. The universe has been cruel to him and so he’s cruel right back.
It’s my headcanon that when Aku was still Azathoth the space blob, he went around devouring worlds and galaxies and such, not because he was evil, but because that’s what he existed to do.
I still wonder where the fuck he actually came from. Was he the magical remains of a destroyed god? Is he a black hole that gained a will of its own? Is he a collection of dark space energy that built up over time? Argh, someone tell me!
I dunno… just some random idea had when watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKlI-jiqEbU
How do you feel about having something valuable that belongs to you taken away so easily?

Casper couldn’t help her smile at that, oddly comforted by such threatening words. “I appreciate it, but I don’t want to drag him down. He has enough to worry about, thank you though, Master Aku.”
“Am I to assume only you are capable of seeing the monsters that lurk in your world or am I to assume they are simply making themselves invisible?” Aku couldn’t understand why such creatures wouldn’t want to be seen and feared by all.
She looked down at his giant finger pointing at her chest, “Well…. I can’t confirm nor deny that fact….” she said, “…. but you know what, you’re probably right” she said with a chuckle. “By the way sorry about calling you cute before, that was an accidental slip of the tongue” she apologized.
“Mhm, yes. Normally I would punish you in the Pit of Hate for such a transgression,” he said with a contemplative stroke of his beard.
“Instead I sentence you to a lifetime of service to Aku. Every month, you must bring me something delicious and profess your love for Aku.”
