i saw a comment on the official upload of hammer of justice from someone talking about how gerson had been their favorite undertale character for YEARS, and how happy they were that he was finally being appreciated. i'm happy for them, but i also cannot even begin to comprehend how insane things must be from their perspective.
imagine your favorite character from a game is a semi-obscure glup shitto type that has some interesting lore tidbits, but not enough for people to talk about him at length compared to more popular characters. he says some cool stuff and is involved in one of the main characters' backstory, but that's about it.
then a spiritual successor slash sequel slash Thing comes out that takes place in some sort of alternate timeline, and your favorite character is dead in it. there's some info about him scattered throughout the first three chapters, but that's it. damn. that sucks.
then all of the sudden, out of nowhere, chapter four comes out. not only does your favorite character appear again, but he is not only INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT to the chapter's story, but is also THE CHAPTER'S SECRET BOSS. your glup shitto is now a JEVIL AND SPAMTON TIER CHARACTER. not only are people finally talking about him, they're hyping him up to be the single strongest character in the game, which considering the fact that he helps you take out a TITAN, isn't even that absurd of a concept. "I'M OLD!" has effectively become chapter four's "Kris Get The Banana". it is very likely that there has been more art of gerson boom drawn in the month since chapter four's release than there has been for as long as undertale has existed. in the span of 24 hours, your random, kind of obscure favorite guy has not only become EXTREMELY popular, but is being worshiped like a living legend. which is really funny because he's still technically dead.
imagine being that guy. i wouldn't know what to do with myself. i may have encountered the single most vindicated person in human history.
