For new followers: At some point I will have said all I have to say about Deltarune so far and I won’t post again until the new chapter comes out. And that could be a period of years, but it won’t mean that I’ve abandoned this account. I am hibernating. And when the time comes, I will be back. To write more bad post about video game

Pop Lock and Slop it!!!!!

[kentuckyfriedkids]

i’m something of a slop enthusiast… no, this is not a bit. when i was watching my brothers play chapter 3 i would not Stop mentioning the Slop. there was a reason for this

[kentuckyfriedkids]

slop comic was a flop………………… jokes on you because slop comic is the most meaningful piece of art on this blog*

just read the chapter 5 newsletter…

after chapter 2 came out all those years ago and i truly fell in love with this story, i decided that this blog would act as sort of a scrapbook that i would put all of my love for this game into. all of my thoughts and my art and everything that the story made me feel would go here. so it was nice to see toby fox acknowledge how special it is to watch a story unfold and chronicle your experiences. one day, i hope to look back at everything ive out here and feel like i expressed that love to the best of my ability.

but at the same time, i regret holding back so much. because deltarune was an ongoing story, i was wary of straying too far from what was actually in the game—meaning that i never got too invested in speculation or derivative works like AUs. i felt like when you put too much of your own desires into fanwork, it can warp your perception of the actual story. and when that happens, it becomes easy to get attached to a version of the story that doesn’t line up with the author’s actual intent.

basically, i was afraid if the time in between a story’s beginning and ending where a person’s imagination can really run wild when it comes to speculation, or fanwork. i was afraid of it for the exact same reasons that the author himself believed it to be special, and that made me feel silly—especially after chapter 4.

tony fox has always been very open about his creative process, stuff like his anxieties about his work being “good” and how long it sometimes takes to get things right. he’s also always encouraging people to put their stories and their voices out there. so i think it would be a real shame if i ended up taking the opposite lesson away from his work… after all, i was inspired to create so much after chapter 4! but i didn’t have the courage to show most of it, or finish any of it. now it feels like im too late, so im not sure if i could call this blog an accurate account of my journey with this story.

right now, i have arm pain that prevents me from making anything but even putting that aside, it all feels too overwhelming now. i mean, the story is entering its final stage where all the loose ends will be tied up. we’ve all known that the story would only be 7 chapters for a while so i don’t know why it feels so daunting now. but ive started thinking that i might not ever be able to get everything im feeling right now there in art or in writing. i feel like a balloon that’s been pumped full of too much air. im certain that this feeling is also an important part of the experience, so im leaving it here for the record

which could mean nothing.

oh, also noelle being so startled that she cussed at a teacher is hilarious

[kentuckyfriedkids]

deltarune’s weird route imparts a very valuable life lesson: no matter how bad things get, as long as you keep pushing forward… they can always get so much worse in ways you would never imagine to be possible

i’ve been pronouncing “Flavigne“ like “Lasagne” but honestly i’m at a loss

[kentuckyfriedkids]

the fandom tendency to pigeonhole every single relationship between two character as either being “lovers” or “siblings” needs to STOP

[kentuckyfriedkids]

i am so enchanted by susie’s insecurity and how you start to see it slowly leaking out. for a while there, she had the illusion that all of her needs were being met once she got friends but as the scope of her new life continues to widen, we see more and more how afraid she is

[zipsunz]

i trust you two more than anything

[infizero]

ive talked about "childhood friends gone wrong" on here before right

[infizero]

there's probably already a name for this but it's a trope i coined for a very specific type of dynamic that im consistently obsessed with. give me two people who grew up together and played together and were each other's best friend and then Something Happened and now everything's fucked up but they're still friends. or they want to be at least. you look so different now and everything is so much more complicated now than when we played in your backyard but literally who else knows me better than you. who else could i ever call my best friend

so im having a piss in the bathroom (where its supposed to go…) and these vaping godless wenches think the sound of my tinkle warrants a giggle. does anyone know how to get me in contact with some powerful etsy witches for a cheap and swift vengeance

#this blog is titled just sans things but this is one of the most rouxls kaard posts i've ever seen
