Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.

Guess my favorite character

somewhere out there right now is a kid with curly hair being raised by people who have wavy hair at best and those people are giving them 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and telling them to dry brush it. and that kid is gonna spend all of middle school and high school hating their hair and moping over the flat iron. they're being told right now that if they don't dry-brush their curl pattern into oblivion every morning it means they're unkempt and gross even though they naturally have the kind of ringlets that a thousand bridezillas would commit horrible murders for every june. it's happening right now it's an absolute epidemic and a tragedy every time

noelle is so funny because she's like oh me and kris? yeah i dunno we're not really friends we've been neighbors forever i don't know if i'd say we're friends. meanwhile she has plants that are named after kris and her computer wallpaper is kris and like a fair percentage of her dialogue is bittersweet longing for the past where her and kris were still definitely friends and she's the only character to notice that kris while being controlled by the player sounds different and has been acting kinda strange even though they aren't around each other much anymore and she feels relief if you choose to have kris call her a friend to one of the addisons

i dont even think id call her a fake idgafer she hardly even pretends not to care. she is barely trying to hide how much she cares and still failing miserably

assuming "raise up your bat" was written by dess, i want susie singing the song (with original lyrics) to herself somewhere noelle can hear and noelle trying to figure out how susie knows that song

it feels like people are aproaching the game as a mystery to be solved like a FNAF title than a story thats been. planned.

yeah like. idk Undertale just did not have major mystery factors in this way and literally outside of the Chara/Frisk/player divide situation (which was a clear Payoff thing for a bunch of other things) i can't think of anything that was set up as a full Twist on the conclusions you could reach by looking around. like, ok, mettaton is presented as a robot alphys invented when he's not, but if you look around all the evidence as soon as the signed poster in alphys' lab points to his actual backstory pretty directly and with very little misleading. toby has never Punished people for putting the pieces together into a logical whole, y'know, there's no second order twist where mettaton goes "oh no some other ghost lived there it wasn't my house"

i don't know if that makes sense. hopefully it does

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

i can't fucking think about susie's battle against not!gerson for too long i swear i start howling like a wounded animal.

obviously the morally against shipping boundary warrioring mcyt panopticon of 2021 was terrible but by god was it so beautiful to have a fandom where platonic relationships were adored above all else

Gerson reminds me so much of my Jewish great grandfather so I may be biased when I say this, but he feels very Jewish coded to me. Like firstly, his name is Gerson, a Hebrew name. Then, we have the scarf he wears on his shoulders, which looks a lot like a more simple, non-traditional tallit

Obviously he’s not actually Jewish as Deltarune has its own religion, but I see a lot of people just equating that religion directly to Christianity which I think can limit analysis and theory crafting. Deltarune takes a lot of stuff from Christianity sure, but it’s not as cut and dry as just Christianity 2 Electric Boogaloo. It’s nice to see some traditions from different religions were also represented, like with the Guei or incense burning, and it’s interesting what these elements may say about the story’s greater themes. Hell, even the angel of death Azrael is mostly a Jewish and Islamic figure if I remember correctly
