Idk why but I get picky about what I reblog to my main so this is just an extra account I guess? This is where I transform likes into reblogs.

Idk why but I get kinda picky about what I reblog to me main? Anyway I decided to make this extra blog to transform my likes into reblogs. Likes kinda suck because I can’t look through them and if the original poster deleted it I won’t be able to find it again. So. Yeah.

After I reblog I remove the original like so that I can better navigate my likes

THE FUCKING,,, SUSIE DOLL IS STILL FLOATING AROUND UP THERE IN THE ENDING

[sunsetstitches]

Ooooughhh guys I actually did it. I actually made the refs

Yes it's almost 2am I powered through and I did it cuz I'm based and awesome

And as promised, more context for the AU will be under the cut for those interested :]

First refs here!

Just copy/pasting what I wrote to my friends cuz I am eepy

So the seven souls/seven humans are all from different decades and go missing in an oddly specific pattern (all exactly 21 years and 1 day apart)

Unbeknownst to anyone else, they've all been transported through space and time to a magic world (as I described to my friend, "Isekai-time-travel-magic-bullshit style") and meet each other

From there they all have to team up to traverse this strange world and try to find their ways back to their respective timelines

I've yet to name the magical world itself or decide too much about it, but I know I want it to have the aesthetics of chapter 5's dark world, Castle Town, and general high fantasy with a progression similar to Undertale (traveling through multiple different towns/cities/environments that are all connected in pursuit of making it to a specific place/goal)

Also, I've not fleshed this part out very much yet but there is a prophecy of some kind involving the seven souls, whence why they specifically are here. But I only had that idea today at work so still figuring it out

That's about it for now!! Hope this idea is at least kind of intrguing :]

[sunsetstitches]

So I’m working on a little AU (4/7 here)

I’m a little nervous to disclose the actual premise cause the ideas not full solid yet (I have the concept, I just need to solidify some things) but as you can see here, they’re all from different decades and “dissappeared” in a particular pattern… hrm…

I’ll talk more about the actual idea behind this (hopefully) tomorrow when I (hopefully) finish the last three

also I’m gonna come back in and add alt text to these later since my custom font is too hard to read. I need to remake it idk what I was thinking when I made this shit like

Part 2 + context here!

[twilightofthesandwiches]

More than just ‘Jealousy’ (although that’s certainly part of it), I think one of the big through-lines of Chapter 5 is ‘You Can’t Make Someone Love You’. That relationships are complicated and mutual things dependent on personalities and history, and can’t (or shouldn’t) really be ‘forced’. That’s part of the reason for the constant Dating Sim references this Chapter, and it’s something that’s been kinda brewing through the whole game so far. It connects to the recurring ideas of deconstructing video game tropes (notably here the gamification of interpersonal relationships) and your choices not mattering, and also Divorce. How Asgore constantly fails to make Toriel ‘feel what she used to feel’ for him and probably making things worse through these constant attempts.

And to Ralsei’s original naïve ideas of ‘how to be a friend’. Them thinking it’s a simple matter of always ‘being nice’ - paralleling ‘Relationship Mechanics’ in games that are mostly about choosing the friendliest and most placating options, and that's really all you need to 'max out' your relationship with whoever.

Only for them to realize that it’s more complicated than this as they grow closer to Susie, someone who absolutely is not the person who chooses only the ‘nice’ options all the time, and realize that they love her for it. But also at the same time, their sweet and passive demeanor seems to have pretty much failed to endear them to Kris, despite their best efforts.

That relationship only progresses when Ralsei stops trying so hard to be Lovable….

And then also Our Choices Don’t Matter meaning that there’s no Choice a Player can make that can meaningfully change Kris’s most important relationships. These relationships also don’t depend on simply picking ‘positive’ options (because if one likes Kris, that also goes hand-in-hand with liking some amount emotionally detached teasing and pranks). AND the most important moments of relationship development happen of Kris’s own volition, and they will rebel against words that are either too cruel or too sappy to their own taste. Which in previous Chapters was mostly a positive, hopeful thing. No matter our influence, Kris’s friends will always be Kris’s friends first and foremost. We don’t have enough power to ruin their most important relationships or to make their friends love them for something that they’re not.

But in this Chapter, there’s a new melancholy wrinkle added to it. Through the whole Festival Sequence, you’re presented with a bunch of choices that under standard ‘Game Logic’ might be expected to influence the relationships between Kris, Susie and Noelle - but in true Deltarune fashion, regardless of your choices, Susie and Noelle always start their romance at the end of it. But while this could be a heartwarming story about Cute Teenaged Lesbian Love triumphing over a manipulative Amoral Time God… the whole situation also makes it very clear that even if Kris was able to make choices freely, there’s nothing they could choose that would make Susie love them either. No matter how close they and Susie get, she just doesn’t seem to be attracted to them that way.

You can also add to it the way the Flowery Final Boss plays on the ‘Power of Friendship’ bit that’s generally expected at the end of a Pacifist Run…

Where Flowery has his own Recruits that instead seem to team-up with Flowery and against you, regardless of your choices. Because the cute little ACTs you did to Recruit them were nice and all, but were they really enough to make them truly love you more than they already loved Flowery and the other Flowers? More then they loved their Dark World?

And then there’s Flowery’s whole thing. Like in many other aspects of their characters, he and Ralsei are two sides of the same coin. If Pre-Character-Development Ralsei is like someone who tries to please and befriend everyone in an RPG, Flowery is someone trying to powergame his way through a dating sim. His (and the other Flowers) constant showering of Asgore with admiration, gifts and ideal hang-outs/dates that are all just perfect for him are partly just trying to repay Asgore for the kindness he’s given them and making him happy… and also to try and make Asgore choose Flower Kingdom and his Flower Family over Hometown and his Light World Family.

As much as Flowery teases Ralsei over their jealousy of him, his behavior often reveals that he’s jealous of Kris, for being part of that family that has, from his perspective, have given Asgore nothing but grief, and yet he still seems to love more than the Flowers. Kris is a living demonstration of how his gifts and dedication to Asgore is secretly just as ‘useless’ as his fake made-up overpowered stats. Flowery is also well aware that Kris is the one that opened the Fountain in the first place, and that they seem to have some sort of hidden agenda that’s not beneficial to their dad, and Flowery still feels like Asgore will always choose them over him.

And, well, the resolution to the Flower Kingdom arc is a mixture of that (especially considering how much he was motivated into exploring the Dark Worlds out of a belief that it will magically make his family life ‘go back to normal’…. Literally pushing the Flowers away for the sake of that goal...)

But also, it’s kind of a matter that Asgore does absolutely love the Flowers, just not in the way they wanted to. The Flowers wanted Asgore to love being around them so much, he’d choose their fantasy even if it means their deaths, but Asgore loved the Flowers so much that he wanted them to live.

And in way, that’s also kind of a mirror to Kris’ situation with Susie. She definitely loves Kris, they just feel like she’d never love them the way they’d want her to.

And then, the way Pink interacts with the whole Dating Sim Pastiches adds in some wrinkles of important nuance. She’s the one notable occasion (well, outside of the other even bigger exception we’d get to in a moment) where the Gamification of Relationships is actually useful, both for the Player to progress and beat the Fight and for Pink’s Body and Ghost to solve their relationship issues. In a way, it’s kinda like saying “Well, of course, just because you can’t make anyone love you, that doesn’t mean Choices don’t matter at all in relationships, obviously. Making Choices of consideration and healthy communication is important.”

And even then, part of the resolution is Pink’s Ghost accepting her Body’s needs even if it means she won’t necessarily have her all for herself. She there’s still there’s this undercurrent of accepting that you can’t make people love you the way you want them too.

But, of course, the biggest and obvious exception of the concept of ‘You can’t make someone love you’ is, well, the same as what seems to be the biggest exception to the concept of ‘Your choices don’t matter’, and that’s the Weird Route, of course.

The Weird Route is the one exception to the idea that we and our choices can’t have a meaningful affect on Kris’ relationships, and it very intentionally uses a lot of the Tropes and language of, like, going on a Romance Route with a character in a Video Game, complete with a supposed ‘climax’ when said NPC decides to invite you to the big romantic Festival, and it also uses every storytelling tool in its disposal to showcase how it’s utterly creepy and manipulative and wrong.

It’s adding to the point of ‘you can’t make people love you’ with ‘also, even if you can make people love you, you probably fucking shouldn’t”.

But I suppose, in many ways it is still a case of one not being able to control how people love them…

[possiblyaspara]

Interesting analysis! There's a part I think you glossed over, though, and that's Susie's own feelings about having to make someone love you. She frames love as something you feel when someone else already loves you, and has several sequences in the Dark World where she does things, sometimes ones she really doesn't like, because she thinks that will make Noelle like her more. It's sad that she can't break out of this transactional mindset when she has other people who love her no matter what.

[herecomesthecapes]

To be clear Asgore’s dismissal of the flower children throughout chapter 5 is wrong and clearly meant to reflect poorly on his dynamic with Kris. But I highly disagree with the interpretation that him resolving to go back to take care of the flowers at the end of the chapter is him “once again” being selfish and only caring about the flowers for his own personal satisfaction rather then caring for them “as real people”. Or any interpretation that doesn’t see him “taking care of the flowers” as a blanket good thing.

I think this is a case where you gotta look between the lines a bit and not just at the characters literal actions and knowledge.

The Flowers’s dark world was NEVER gonna last, the flowers need light to survive, and Asgore himself never wanted to live in some fantasy world without his family. Say what you will about Asgore’s objectively shitty behavior throughout the chapter, him NOT getting wrapped up in Flowerys “fuck your family have gay sex with me” world is like, one of the few things about him that kept him from being unbearable. So there is no version of this where Asgore and Flowery stay. And frankly, Flowery was pretty manipulative throughout chapter 5, he is not Tenna level of course, but his whole “keep Asgore in a fantasy world and get him to abandon his family who totally suck” stick is like, not great????? I feel like a lot of Flowery fans valorize him a bit to much but in many ways he’s very similar to characters like Tenna and Queen, who want to make lightners happy by locking them away in worlds of entertainment without considering the lighters actual feelings. Particularly Kris, whom he doesn’t want to physically hurt but DOES want to literal steal his dad from, He is FAR from as extreme as Tenna but like, he is like that. And at the end his resolve to keep Asgore in the Flowers shared dream at all cost leads to him hurting the person Asgore cares about most.

Flowery is SELFISHLY SELFLESS

That being said, Asgore’s mistreatment of the flowers IS wrong and IS obviously supposed to mirror his relationship with Kris.

Which is why him resolving to leave the dark world (and his obsession) behind to “take care of the flowers” is a POSITIVE thing. It’s him deciding to leave behind the fake world (and his obsession) to take care of the things in his life he already has instead (including Flowery and his friends, even if Asgore doesnt know it) Just like in UT “Taking care of the flowers” is a metaphor for learning to move on and let go while still honoring the past. Chara is dead and not coming back, but we can still care for what grows above it. The marriage is over and not coming back, but Kris and the Flowers are still there, he still needs to care for them. No, he doesn’t know that the flowers ARE Flowery and co, but like the sentiment is good either way and him deciding to take care of his responsibilities rather then the random darkners he doesn’t know doesnt reflect poorly on him for me. I know that for a lot of people Asgore prioritizing his flowers over the darkener people in front of him is shitty but in the context of a game where objects ARE people, where him deciding to leave the dark world AND CARE FOR THEM is the best outcome for them both, I don’t mind.

Like of we’re gonna judge Asgore’s actions entirly based on what he objectively knows, then his actions towards the Flowers in chapter 5 wouldn’t REALLY neglect at all. Since Afterall these are just some random kids he doesn’t know who valorize him, who he is playing along with to feed his obsession. It’s an objectively bad way to treat random kids who want your approval but it’s not emotional neglect to fail to care for kids you don’t know and to opt to go back home instead.

Of course we as an audience know the flowers are in fact, basically Asgore’s kids, and that his actions here are meant to thematically mirror his failures with Kris and Asriel following the Dess case. Which is why it is SO IMPORTANT he resolves to care for them in the end, even if he doesn’t know that the anime squad are those flowers. Both because it mirrors him resolving to take care of Kris AND because that doesn’t erase his fuck ups.

Because yeah, he can’t get back the time he missed with the flowers while they were “human” but he CAN take care of them now he HAS TO take care of them now because the now is the only thing that exists.

It’s also objectively the best outcome for both of them, again the flowers CANT stay in this dark world just like how Asgore himself cant. This glorious dream of escapism Flowery has created is beautiful but it’s not real, it cant be real. But a world where Asgore gets happier and the Flowers get cared for and Asgore reconnects with his kids and stops his obsession CAN

Replaying Deltarune Chapter 3...

I've talked before about how the "freedom" offered by the Weird Route is illusory – all you're doing is switching to a different set of rails – but I hadn't really thought about the degree to which the Mantle questline makes this clear.

For all Ramb hypes up the original version being the "right" one, allowing you to play it "your way" or whatever, it objectively offers less freedom and discovery than both of Tenna's versions. You no longer get to pursue certain objectives and ignore others, or, alternatively, pursue every objective just to get your rank up. Little bonus areas are reduced to empty caves that basically say GO NORTH TO ADVANCE CRITICAL PATH. Meanwhile, the whole thing is framed by you controlling a puppet who is in turn controlling a puppet of themself. What kind of freedom is that?

In an ABO au Stan wouldn’t be an omega because it fits his personality.

[i-reblog-everything44]

The GF fandom should celebrate pride month by making more Stan mpreg. There is criminally little of it in this fandom. Ford can’t keep hogging all the mpreg. Ford wouldn’t even want to be pregnant. Stan initially wouldn’t be happy about pregnancy either but I think he’d warm up to it. His nurturing spirit. His parental instincts. The thought of growing a person inside him he can love and nurture and will love him unconditionally. Plus the vulnerability that comes with being pregnant. Let Stan be taken care of
