I would argue that the two most perfect critiques of Harry Potter come from a pair of 4chan posts, which take opposite approaches to their critique but reach equally damning conclusions

“i have to listen to my body’s needs” secret boss fight written by person who has chronic and disabling wrist pain which has fundamentally changed his relationship to his hobbies and his job <- i care it as someone who has also had chronic pain in my wrist/hand for 5 years

another thing i tend to think about with this. i also just think in chapter 5 there's a theme of care and dependency. the flowers have extreme guilt over being taken care of by asgore. flowery conceptualizes himself as weak and useless. in the dark world, his fantasy, he tries to return the care given to him to asgore to "make up for" asgore taking care of him when he should've died decades ago. it's an extreme example, but i also resonate with his feeling.

when your body or mind puts you in a situation where your reliance on other people becomes really explicit, you're trained by the world to see that as shameful or to see yourself as deficient. your efforts to ignore your needs just to avoid "being a burden," will leave you worse off. you punish yourself because of deeply internalized ableism.

regardless, even by virtue of being a living thing on this planet, you are already designed to need others. you have to listen to your body's needs even against a society that teaches you you shouldn't. you have to be okay with the fact that you have needs. sometimes your needs are different or are greater than the person next to you, and all you can do is listen to your body and turn to others when you need them. you're still a person when you need people.

when toby says this:

it's interesting to me how much he uses the language of deltarune to express this feeling. your hopes and dreams slipping away, and bitterness growing is literally the explanation we get for shadow crystals (and so wept the fallen star, making rivers with its tears. then, slowly, from the bitter water, something grew. it looked like glass). this is also the crushing feeling when you lose a sense of control when you're in pain, when you can't do things the way you want, the way you used to. but when you find yourself still able to fly, you do so because you've adapted. you've listened to your body. you've learned that listening to your body means changing the pace, letting yourself be cared for, letting yourself be helped.

as far as toby's said it, having to expand his team has made deltarune a better game. chapter 5 is so expansive because so many people helped to make it. Pink's fight has sprite work from guest artists, music with Camellia, bullets programmed by Toby's team. She is, to me, a love letter to Deltarune's development process as a whole and how it has shaped Toby, and a reflection of the kinds of thoughts Toby has shared with us about developing Deltarune alongside pain. I also think it's a beautiful follow-up to Gerson's themes of storytelling and authorship (letting go of "perfection" + accepting the contributions of others = both about rescinding control and embracing perseverance). Pink is also so much more than this, but I've been thinking about this a lot.

I will forever be catgirls strongest ally. Not their unflinching ally, because I flinch at loud noises like thunder and someone sneezing, much in the way a catgirl might. Really this just goes to show how dedicated I am in my allyship.

When you learn about shaders in programming it's like. Ah yes, a "shader", presumably a piece of code for shading the 3D models. And sure, you can do that. But also you can do basically anything else you feel like doing on a gpu. With the shader.

This is related to how GPUs are called graphics processing units but are actually Big Parallel Calculation Processors that can be used for all kinds of things, not just transforming triangles from 3D space to a screen. Because as it turns out the math for turning triangles in 3D space into pretty pictures is also useful for a lot of different computational problems.

one of my favorite silly little subversions in Of The Devil is that while Morgan is cold, calculating, manipulative and uses mind games alot, unlike other characters of her archetype she thinks Chess is Stupid.

demilypyro

critically she doesn't like chess because it's too fair and she can't gain an advantage by being a sneaky motherfucker who lies, which says so much about her

wiktionary lists "isolation" as the antonym of "context," I don't know if this is linguistically true. I suppose "in isolation" is the opposite of "in context" but it doesn't transfer to their noun forms . "context" is not listed as an antonym of "isolation." it's not worth starting a talk page about

in isolation isolation isn't an antonym of context but in the context of in context vs in isolation it can be
