UNDERTALE / DELTARUNE NEWSLETTER - Valentine's Day

[redxliner]

best friends

[shioish]

Ok ok first artpost ever hi guys, i present to you them

[everysongineverykey]

ok alphys was a character ahead of her time and too good for this damn fandom honestly. she isn't some evil gaslighting lying cringey manipulator who only exists as comic relief for the love of god look at her with eyes less poisoned by cynicism and irony. she is a love letter to... well, a lot of things. a love letter to "cringey" people, to video game fans, to people who try to drown their sadness in fiction. she's so achingly relatable to so many of us that it really feels like toby knows his demographic like the back of his hand. we've all met someone like alphys. maybe we are that someone- awkward, nerdy, can't get over their past mistakes, terrible at phone calls, far more eloquent online than in person, only wants to make people like them to distract them from the fact that they don't like themself. normally, this character archetype is the butt of a great deal of jokes- just a gross nerd who needs to touch grass. but alphys is different. she is, as i said, a love letter. she is one of the best-developed and most complex characters in the game. her nerdiness isn't "fixed" or mocked, it's celebrated. her unabashed love for her interests and her 100% attitude is a big reason why undyne loves her. games, especially in 2015 and before, are not often so genuinely kind to characters like alphys! and in deltarune, too- alphys is still a nerd, despite not being nearly as traumatized as her undertale counterpart. her rambling about shows she loves is a constant across all universes, a fundamental and important and good part of who she is.

and i just think that's very kind, and very important.

[flowgence]

I still hold that this Alphys sprite from the summer newsletter is one of my fav UT sprites ever

[tortol]

i need to buy her a box of paxil and a cake she may eat with her bare hands

[sunsestart]

Why did she do that

Imagine witnessing the horrors then going to your computer to write about it and just

"no No NOOOO" yeah that's a nice summary of what I felt in the moment

Based on something I tweeted about earlier

She took her sweet time to write that and that's honestly iconic

Marriages and weddings

sans would marry her in a heartbeat if she'd want to, of course. They just wouldn't do anything special about it.

[curioscurio]

actually they unironically would be bffs

That one gravity falls scene but as a quick Sans and Alphys comic.
