I finally got my tattoo done today, and then around an hour later we got the Deltarune Chapter 5 announcement! I like to think that it was summoned to us all by the power of Spamton lol 💖

Going to Hyper Japan London this weekend and, on the Saturday, I'm putting a (frankly ridiculous) "summer" spin on my Spamton cosplay 😂 I'll also do a pink and yellow manicure for it lol

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Your dialogue is stiff because everyone is being too honest

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

Subtext is where tension lives.

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

Can I make it right, for you, this time?

[wishing so bad to vaguepost but not wanting to send harassment after anyone] i saw a post. and it was bad.

[unheardoracle]

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

i will always find you.

Tumblr Sexyman Tenna

[toldentops]

do not get me wrong here. Senshi is a beautiful man. A sexy man, even. But a “tumblr sexyman” he is not. first and foremost the hallmark of a tumblr sexyman is going to be “you want to fuck That?”. You do not Make something a tumblr sexyman on purpose. “Lets make senshi a tumblr sexyman so theyre not all white and skinny” defeats the point. And do not get me wrong! There is something to be said about how the majority of non-human characters in fandom(bill cipher, wheatley, purple guy, etc) get interpreted as skinny white men…white majority fandom spaces, yknow? Anyways my point is. Tumblr sexyman is an observational category. Do you see people making hyper specific aus of senshi to the point that he might as well be someone’s oc? No…but you know who they are doing this to…? Tenna. He needs to win that tumblr sexyman poll. Ryland grace has nothing on him. I’m begging

[toldentops]

I have more thoughts on the matter. The status of “tumblr sexyman” is almost never a measure of the quality of the character itself. It’s always been the fandom response. I’m going to compare Senshi to Sans Undertale because unlike all the guys on any tumblr sexyman list, sans isn’t a skinny white guy and thankfully isn’t portrayed as one, shockingly. Someone in the tags mentioned that liking tumblr sexymen has a certain level of theater kid esque indulgence/shame to it. Sans is a cartoon skeleton and every who likes him knows it. I don’t think anybody is doing “hear me outs” on senshi because he’s already hot. You know you’ve hit gold on a tumblr sexyman if the character itself is producing its own fandom largely divorced from the source material. People making extensive AUs where different sans interact with each other, “sans fangirls” being a thing, sans himself being a meme outside of being an undertale fan, making up lore about the skeletons in general and making skeleton ocs…the list goes on. With all due respect I earnestly do not think this is happening with Senshi! And again, none of this has to do with the quality of their characters, they are both excellent characters. I think part of this is due to the fact that Dungeon Meshi already has such an established world that taking a character and running with it would feel out of place. I’ve seen Kabru get more of a tumblr sexyman treatment than Senshi does.

Putting Tenna side by side to sans, and people are doing the exact same thing. “Spamtenna” feels like its own fandom. People are drawing Tenna shipped with himself. People are drawing yuri of him for crying out loud (something to be said about fandom caring more about yuri versions of men over canon female characters but that is a discussion for another time). People like The Character so much they are doing literally anything with him! Even with Tenna thankfully the times are changing, his most popular human interpretations aren’t even white.

Maybe it isn’t fair to allude to Sans when talking about Tenna because they’re both made by the same guy, and similar fandoms are going to have a similar response to these kinds of quirky characters, but I digress. The fact that Tenna fans on twitter are drawing him pathetically begging for him to be voted for, in increasingly skimpy outfits, speaks volumes
