These dioramas from the unforgettable scenes in the anime are sending me. Look at the way Jun’s chibi swayed towards the sun that is Tsukasa. And Hikaru ready to catch Inori’s fall.

ok but like why are they all doomed like actually

big fan of when animals creche. Love to see so many fucking babies in one place

[aplpaca]

So a creche in ecology is a group of animals that take care of their offspring as a group. Grouping together like this can help with protection against predators, finding food, enduring the weather, and gives the parents time to "rest", as sometimes the parents will alternate who's being the primary watchers while others get to hunt by themselves for a bit, like a baby animal daycare.

But ye lions do this once cubs each a certain age. A decent amount of birds do it (for example: flamingos and a lot of penguin, duck, and goose species). Gharials (a type of South Asian crocodilian) form creches with hundreds of babies from multiple nests (they lay under 100 eggs each and sometimes as few as 20). Feral hogs tend to form groups of mothers and young like this, and I saw 3 sows and like 15+ tiny babies the other day and they were so cute

But ye that's how you get pictures like these

[tumorhead]

Rattlesnakes will creche!! In some species mature adult females will hang out together (they're friends!) in shared dens and even birth their clutches together. Then one will babysit while the others go get food. Adult females have been seeing caring for their young like shooing young back into the den when a predator approaches. You can watch LIVE rattlesnake den mothers and all their babies on Project Rattlecam!!!!

[supernini235]

Cows creche in ratios of roughly 1 cow to 5 napping calves. So the days old calves will nurse, get sleepy, and the adults will take turns watching the sleepy baby pile while the other mothers eat.

[aristocrating]

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.

[insomaniackills]

Folks really need to reacquaint themselves with this concept

[astralikacastle]

I have needed this term in my life. Maybe what I love is analysing the scene a faire of my silly little genre trash.

Especially cuz for isekai it tends to be right at the start.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Very Important Sans-nalysis:

Undertale!Sans seems to be having a much better time here than Deltarune!Sans. We can conclude this is because UT!Sans has a more positive relationship with the resident human currently in front of his booth since Frisk is a child who met Toriel long after her divorce while Kris is a troubled teen who was there for a good chunk of Asgone and Toriel's marriage and subsequent divorce and DR!Sans is unsure of how to navigate all of that-

Or it's because UT!Sans has Papyrus next to him and DR!Sans does not because having your cool brother with you automatically makes everything better.

is it woke or unwoke to call krusie(kris x susie) yuri

.

woke

unwoke

Voting ended onFeb 23

[deepfrieddeltarunememes]

kris is nonbinary, so all kris ships are gay

yuri is gay

people referring to a kris x girl ship as yuri are not trying to say kris is a girl, they're trying to say the ship is gay with no men involved, often specifically in defiance of the idea that it would be het due to people (both for and against the ship) misgendering kris as male

yuri as a genre often has transgender themes, many lesbians have historically had genders and pronouns across across the spectrum, nonbinary lesbians exist

getting pressed about yuri being a very strictly girl x girl only term is extremely online, especially if you aren't japanese

[deepfrieddeltarunememes]

in honor of everyone person who isn't nonbinary blocking and bitching at nonbinary people for using the term yuri or calling something with a nonbinary person gay <3 stop being cops

[spam-monster]

My takes:

Kris x Susie is yuri

Kris x Noelle on Carol's terms/weird route is het-tox, on their own terms it's yuri

Kris x Susie x Noelle is yuri

While I don't headcanon Ralsei as trans, I think they are gender-wiggly enough that adding them into the mix would still count as yuri

Kris x Berdly is yaoi

[krispdreemurr]

some thoughts:

even before flowey, asriel was… good at being the right person in every situation. a natural social chameleon. with the dreemurrs, he was the perfect son to toriel and asgore, a sweet shy boy who wore his heart on his sleeve, while w chara he was a Teasing Brotherly Type who would join in on all their plans and schemes. he has to have been a better liar and better at acting than the crybaby comments suggest - he hid that he knew why chara was dying from toriel. i’m not suggesting that he was, like, sinister about it, just that he’s naturally good at putting up a front, conscious or not

and then as flowey, he refined that, used that, played with it. he was everyone’s best friend, everyone’s perfect confidant! in a way that actually echoes frisk, his first approach to everything was to Be What Everyone Needed - and then when reset after reset burnt out his hopes of something lasting that mattered, he instead used that to push everyone’s buttons. and he picked up a new persona - the cruel, tormenting flowey, who wouldnt care at all who he hurt, who had nothing left, who definitely didn’t miss anything as pathetic as feelings.

so at the end of undertale, when we see asriel go from Taunting Cruel God Of Hyperdeath to Sweet Sad Kid Who Made Mistakes But Who Loves You, when we see Asriel set up a clear dividing line between himself and Flowey that is proven a lie if you try to do a true reset and see Flowey plead w you to let everyone live their lives… when we see flowey clearly try to slip into Your Co-conspirator And Best Friend Azzy mode in No Mercy, and the mask slips at the end when he begs and it’s just Azzy…

if we see Asriel act like Flowey and Flowey act like Asriel, again and again, when the defenses drop…

do we really think it’s just the presence or absence of the soul that makes a difference?

[susie-dreemurr]

This is the only asriel/flowey meta that Truly Gets Me.

[deepfrieddeltarunememes]

what if Kris "taming" Susie not in the kind of gross way Monster Kid means it, but in the way of The Little Prince?

thought kind of inspired by the new art

[elytam404]

I said that too!!! ❤

[deepfrieddeltarunememes]

for sure we've known where Susie's loyalty lies since the end of Chapter 1, but Kris's has been torn...

...Susie is stealing someone else's dog.

[glorious-spoon]

honestly i think the selling point of romance for me (and where it usually fails to land) is 'can i imagine these people sharing an in-joke'

like, are they in cahoots. can they laugh together. do they have a similar enough or at least complementary enough outlook that they can connect over something being funny (even if it's funny in a fucked up way! sometimes those are the best in-jokes!)

that's not necessarily true love in and of itself, but it does feel like an essential component to me

Hey every! Have a compilation of all the canon and officially released depictions of big shot Spamton as a reference resource! It's all so scattered so I thought I'd try to put everything in one place ❤️📧

To anyone as accuracy-brained as I am, note that there is a lot of variety between artists in officially approved material released by fangamer, the materia collective with the music albums, etc. Just look at Spamton's height for instance

In game he's not that much shorter than Kris (his head is just too big for his ice cream cone body lmao), but compared to Kris and Ralsei in the artwork he is tiny. The littlest sponge 🤏

I think of it as primary and secondary sources. Deltarune's text and pixel art are king. Any other artwork has been approved and is meant to inform, but it's not as accurate as something firsthand.

Speaking of Spamton's height, he states that he was always shorter than the other Addisons

I take the Sweepstakes not being canon to mean that Spamton didn't actually host a fundraiser in the timeline of Deltarune or take questions from its players, but I see no reason why all the information he gives about himself wouldn't be intended to fill in what we know about him.

The air freshener provided in Spamton's own bag of garbage invites a pretty direct before and after comparison. It kinda looks like he got some really botched plastic *rimshot* surgery, but he was really insistent that they DO NOT TOUCH THE NOSE!! The nose stays!!!! Long ass nose forever!!!!!!

I feel like this pasted-over poster is the clearest, most unbiased source. It's ostensibly just a picture of him, and we can see how his later appearance exaggerates it. Same hair, little round blush, big smile. Also has a decidedly long nose

Here we have a recreation of Spamton's face by someone who knew him. The nose is less pronounced, but it's implied that Tenna made it smaller intentionally to... make him less attractive I guess. With regards to the shnoz, I'm inclined to trust the poster over Spamton's bitter former partner. Especially since Tenna's own nose is possibly fake

I don't have fun commentary on these I just think it's so funny that when they released that SNEO art initially they cropped out the part where Spamton is crying on the floor. Diabolical

This is an outlier to me because it's the only time he has glasses and the only time he's not drawn like a little munchkin. I personally think this is Spamton's wishful caricature of his current self. He tries using it to catfish during the sweepstakes. But I don't know that for certain ofc

And I believe that's everything so far! Have a bonus (incomplete) compilation of times characters describe what he was like!

I'm kind of obsessed with the electronic lighter one. Why was your nose in there. All text and images brought to you by the deltarune text dump and the glorious strings attached website

[hope-crossed-on-our-hearts]

I've been wondering for a long time why people say that the pipis of spam and tenna will hatch something; I thought they could only hatch many mini spamtons.

To be fair, we don’t know at this point if that pipis is capable of hatching or not, but it does seem to be somewhat different from other pipis. (It’s also possible that there are different types of pipis — battle pipis, edible pipis & egg pipis, or that the ones Spamton uses in battle with his mini-Spamtons are just unfertilized ones.)

First of all, Tenna’s pipis literally chirps, and it even is conscious enough to chirp more often when it’s in Spamton’s old room. And the sound it makes when it chirps? It’s glitchy notes from Spamton & Tenna’s shared leitmotif, “HEY EVERY !” If this pipis was just made by Spamton, it would more likely use notes from his own “Spamton” leitmotif, not their shared one.

We know Tenna is aware it’s a living creature:

(from this post)

And both Spamton & Tenna refer to having a kid; Tenna dramatically tells Mike to “tear down my set, tear down my kids!” in ch3, and Spamton says something pretty similar in his Valentine to Tenna where he asks why Tenna is throwing away everything they made together (which Tenna is very much not doing; instead he’s desperately clinging on to it all, but Spamton doesn’t know that at this point).

Tenna even has the Mikes sing the pipis lullabies!

I’ve talked before about how the pipis is a near perfect representation of Tenna and Spamton’s relationship & their love — Tenna is ashamed of anyone finding out about it, so he hides it in a literal closet; it’s been in a kind of stasis for ten years ever since Spamton left, but it’s still alive in there; Tenna has stubbornly held on to it and nurtured it in private, because it will always be one of the most important things in the world to him no matter what; Spamton literally expected Tenna would have gotten rid of it by now, but is overjoyed to find out he kept it instead; in the version of the game where Spamton is either killed or left behind in chapter 2 (so he’s not there to talk to Tenna), Tenna will be ridiculed for keeping the pipis, and will leave it behind when he runs away out of shame, where we can then kill it as we killed any chance of Tenna & Spamton’s love surviving. This metaphor is a big part of why I think the pipis could possibly hatch when they reconcile and find love again.

A lot of people also overlook this post from the Spamton Sweepstakes’s importance to the discussion:

This implies that the pipis will probably either stay the way it is now, as a glitchy little egg, or hatch into some kind of “freak of nature.” The pipis’ Light World form could even be an actual mod to the Cat Petterz game, like the one Spamton was able to send to Noelle over email (shown below). Either way, it is alive and sentient as a creature in some way, and may very well actually be Spamton & Tenna’s child. (I also believe the above post has implications about the Benefactor’s reasons for separating Spamton & Tenna — because they were technically “incompatible” Darkners, and they were both trying to break the “rules” of the world/the game that say “you can’t choose who you are,” because of their love for each other.)

(My own personal theory for how the pipis came to be — in the Dark World, at least — is that it probably wasn’t much different from any other at the start, but when Spamton gave it to Tenna, Tenna’s strong love for it combined with his reality warping abilities, & made it into a real living being that now contains both Spamton’s and Tenna’s magic. If it is capable of hatching, I think it likely needs both Tenna and Spamton’s love & magic to do so, and that’s why it’s been in stasis since Spamton left.)

I find it to be very funny that one of the main points people had for the idea that ralseai was going to be evil pre-Chapter 3+4 was the whole "lets close our eyes and think of Susie" thing

Obviously, this was signaling towards the idea that Ralsei is aware of the Soul's presence and how it functions regarding its available perspective. However, people thought that Ralsei was trying to lead us away--that he was trying to distract from his "evil plans" with Kris or whatever. However, we can now deduce that he does this not maliciously, but for Kris's sake. He wants to give them the ability to separate from the Soul, even just for a little bit.

However, the reaction people had towards this, I believe, only strengthened Ralsei's motive and distrust towards the player.

I mean, we were separated from our oh-so-special Vessel for a few minutes? And we took that as "Ralsei is evil and should not be doing this"

The fact that we could not fathom being away from our all-seeing view onto Kris likely would only make Kris (and anyone else who knew about the Soul) extremely uncomfortable

[cat-mermaid]

Since everyone is raising an eyebrow at the idea of weeaboo Asgore, I'm gonna make a new post about a bunch of stuff I talked about regarding Asgore from the last year:

#1. Asgore, owner of the gosh durn flowershop, knows about Kris and Us/The Soul

#2. The man has been covertly communicating via Floriography with Kris/someone else, via the flower arrangements he’s been leaving all over town/giving to Kris

#3. No, seriously. This man has been playing us like a fiddle

#4. This shit right here

And for those of you who want the weeb explanation right fucking now:

now that last one there? Hana Otoko? Hanaotoko? Ok buckle in party people

So 花男 means "flower man" right, but it also sounds very close to 花言葉 aka Hanakotoba which means "flower language" and is also the name of japan's version of Floriography aka the art of communicating via flower arrangements that all have different meanings

What does Mr. Dreemurr seem to do a lot of in his free time?

Talking to his damn flowers right, specifically these ones:

Huh, huh

Sans seems to be implying, in both english and japanese, that Asgore's flowers are more like prisoners then "friends" huh

"The flower man, trapped in an asylum" look at how (what we assume to be Asgore) has his hands positioned on either side of that flower, almost covetously

If you view it that way, then the meaning of that prophecy window could mean that its not Asgore who was/will be trapped somehow, but litterally a flower man being held against their will by Gorey instead

He keeps them in glass, both protection and prison. And guess what else i found while looking for stuff in the text dump?

I thought this was related to the dark crystal shards, and it still could be (it would make sense with everything we've seen so far)

but after rewatching Asgore and Sans talk about his plants and the under glass mention, combined with the fact that these flowers seem to be being held captive? And Asgore is seriously up to some sneaky shit on top of all that?

I think the Fun Gang needs to have a chat with these flowers like right now

cos its very possible that Asgore doesn't want certain flower truths to be know by pesky kids who can go into the dark world and talk to things they can't in the light world
