Idk if this is a hot take but why is it always “Kai slaved away and worked his ass off to raise his sister” and never the other way round or them working hard together?
Like, I know he’s older but in the show, does he really… act older? Like if you think about Kai and Nya’s dynamic yknow? Because from my understanding:
When Kai and Nya are introduced we see Kai fail at making a sword and Nya being the one to chide him for it. Kai makes an overconfident statement about wanting to be a better blacksmith than his father. This suggests that one, Kai is rather rash as well as inexperienced (something that lines up with the rest of his character arc in the pots and also generally), with Nya being the more mature figure in contrast
Also just a note but in the shorts: “I can handle it!” “No you can’t, stupid”
Kai frequently being very good at neglecting people or things: leaving Lloyd at an arcade whilst being focused on finding samurai x, not even knowing samurai x was Nya or that she only did it because she felt left out by him, completely abandoning both Nya and Lloyd in s3 (and Ik he was going through it at the time, but in line with the fandom’s characterisation of him)
Kai in season 5: “After I lost my dad, I lost my way. But I was lucky to have my sister watch over me”
Generally, their dynamic isn’t one where Kai really provides for Nya at all. In fact, judging by the fact that Nya can make entire mechs and Kai struggled to make a sword, Nya was probably busting her ass to provide for Kai. And judging by the s5 quote, that’s probably true. I’m not saying Nya raised Kai, it just rubs me the wrong way when she’s treated like a decorative flourish to a narrative that paints Kai as a burnt out child who was forced to grow up too soon especially since that is such a mischaracterisation of him in the first place.

pankie you’re the Fan expert, who do u think Fan’s favourite Undertale character would b? what about favourite Deltarune character?
hm I think he would really love Gaster for all his lore I could see him being a huge Gaster fan and know like EVERYTHING about him But also I think he'd Love Alphys aLOT and find her relatable But if you go with the approach of him being a representation of most of the fandom I think he'd be a sans fan LOL (that specifically would hate the mischaracterization of him. or pretty much any of his favourites) I think he would have a fondness for asgore too tho
as for deltarune. Okay he'd have a fascination for kris but Oh my god he's definitely a spamton fan. Like not just because he has a fun obnoxious personality but also bc he'd be so invested in his lore + plus that's a fan FAAVOURITE. It just works
