Also the fatphobia behind Sans as a character is lowkey unhinged my mind keeps going back to it when thinking about this. That might be worth writing about too lmfao

Someone should really write something on how Toby views the idea of “giving up” and laziness as it pertains to the former. Ralsei and Susie are such interesting characters in this regard also, one of them may end up fitting the absurd hero archetype better than Sans did by the end of Deltarune

-of absurd defiance in my eyes. The video seems to subscribe to the idea of Sans actually putting in a lot of wilful effort (I suppose in “monitoring” us and such) in leading his life and assisting us barely in Pacifist which I find interesting because I just don’t see it that way

I find it interesting that the video doesn’t touch on this at all when in his battle dialogue it’s the big question left unanswered. “Is he lazy due to his fatalism or is his fatalism due to his laziness?” This characterisation of his fatalism inherently changes the framing of it away from this idea

Going back to this because I’m thinking about it again. I think the form of fatalism Sans represents is far too incompatible with Camus and his *genuine* depression is far too integral for it to makes sense. His battle is a last ditch effort that fails because his “laziness” is his ultimate flaw

biggest deltarune chapter 5 disappointment is that the echo flower was robbed

Weird route(-ish) spoiler: “You can’t even say stop like you used to” is so harrowing. I wish this route didn’t allow you to back out at all after last chapter, this was kinda my biggest fear, but if it keeps the consequences going and doesn’t go back to normal fully then I’m maybe okay with it.

000

It sucks how Susie kinda fell to the wayside for me though. She just hasn't had enough to do, she really needs the narrative to progress to develop.

000

I'm such a sucker for character foils, this chapter probably solidified Ralsei as my favourite of the fun gang despite him being the one I hated most in the first few. It's crazy how much more fun he is when you let him be a little mean and represent self-hatred in more ways than woe is me

100

At least it seems fully unavoidable in the next chapters

000

To me it was really distracting that he pulled punches. Kris is literally one of the people he felt he pushed away by obsessing with this I’m not sure why the speech is sorta minimal in that regard, it feels more like he’s speaking to us as the player during that, lol

100

I wish Toby wasn’t so allergic to the light world drama escalating (at least on the normal route). Especially with Asgore it’s very awkward how he writes some characters as if they must withhold information even during what should be them pouring their heart out to someone they trust and is involved

100

IMO this is basically what chapter 3 should have been, although I still didn’t Love it. I like how Toby didn’t ignore how idea of taking care of life as a form of escapism is an odd relationship with creatures we have as people. Wish it leaned a bit more into that but it was good for the flower gang

Obligatory Deltarune posts

Those schematic mods make Minecraft so much better they lowkey should just be a real aspect of the game

Even more embarrassing part of the article, trying to whataboutism Halsey. This is just literally not true! You had Sam Hyde on your podcast threatening women, man. You were slinging hard-Rs!

Excerpt from the Variety article detailing an interview with Fantano about the Halsey situation, reading:
Fantano insists he’s “not a professional edgelord” but a leftist who supports Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, and “was calling [Israel’s attacks on Palestinians] a ‘genocide’ before even Bernie was.”

“I don’t think I’m singularly alone in having found some early-2010s internet-edgy humor funny, or in a satirical way reviewing some memes on the internet as a joke,” he explains, adding, “I’ve never said anything as edgy as an accidental 9/11 joke at Pitchfork’s expense, which [Halsey] very notably did.”

If he wasn't obsessed with (poorly) mimicking the snark of his predecessors he wouldn't even be in this Halsey situation bruh. Where did he get this gigantic head from

They’ve really been Deltarune Tomorrow-ing the next Genshin teaser

000

I posted my little theory about it on Twitter. Anyways, oddly this movie I went to see almost entirely as a joke ended up being lowkey profound and fun to think about for me. Gave me a few heebie-jeebies and made me think about my trauma and what the film was trying to say. Good movie! 8/10 to me

After some thought, I think it’s less that it’s written with Clark being black in mind, and more that it’s written with Mary’s whiteness mostly in mind, and in the end it causes an ending that is thematically interesting and satisfying IMO, but still kinda careless in regards to racial optics

100

I wonder how intentional of a choice Clark being black was tbh, it seems thematically intentional like Kane wanted to engage with the contamination paranoia of the dynamics there but he kinda just ends up playing into stereotypes a little?

Clark is an interesting depiction of an abuser
