Me when I catch myself thinking "I wonder what it's like to be chosen by somebody" but then I remember my best friend chooses to be my best friend and my mutuals choose to follow me and the minimum wage employee chooses to give me sincere kindness that I remember years later because I was going through a hard time and it meant a lot

And now, a comic about experiencing trans joy through creation. Take it away, Mettaton!

Spread the love! Even a spammy long nosed doll deserves a chance to feel like himself.

This comic got a little long, but I do have a bonus lol (and some yapping)

Taking in a lot of the themes about creation in deltarune and thinking about Pink in chapter 5 had me thinking about her cousin and how he’d want to get in on making his dream come true as well (who wouldn’t?). It would be nice if MTT and Tenna could come to Castletown with Pink in chapter 6, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I puzzled over drawing Pink as another ghost in the early part of the comic since ghosts in utdr lore dubiously can’t un-possess a vessel once they’ve chosen/bonded with it, and post-ch5, she’s possessing Asgore’s Mew Mew figurine, BUT for the sake of emoting/gesturing and showing her and MTT coming from the same place, I just had her as her ghost form. One last “HEY GUYS IM MOVING. GONNA GO LIVE AS MY REAL SELF BYE” before she’s gone. Gotta get her goodies, you know? And take her depressed cousin with her.

When MTT and Ralsei meet in the comic, I had Ralsei ask his name and pronouns, not only because it’s a first introduction and Ralsei is polite like that, but because he’s sensitive to the emotions of the Lightners. I also just like to see this greeting expressed in media because it should be so normal and natural, but with certain people in my life (even not explicitly anti-trans people) it turns a conversation tense or awkward. There’s nothing weird or wrong with asking someone’s preferred name and pronouns! And as a trans person, it doesn’t feel awkward to receive the question if it’s out of genuine respect and curiosity to get to know me. In fact, (like MTT in the comic) I’d be pleased to be extended that question in an introductory conversation. It’s no big deal to answer, just like answering “what’s your name?” Or “what are your hobbies?” It’s just another part of me, my gender identity. Nothing to be afraid of!

As for trans Ralsei, I see that trans coding within that goat… I don’t know what his gender identity is (since it seems even Ralsei has not figured that out about himself yet), but it’s there. Maybe we’ll see him explore more about himself, what he likes, who he feels he needs to be, and who he wants to be. And maybe Ralsei will realize she’s a girl or that they’re nonbinary (my personal headcanon leans Ralsei demigender—demigirl, demiboy, idk. But some kind of in-between) But that’s for Ralsei to figure out! I can only speculate… Whatever happens next for Ralsei, I hope he comes to love himself as an individual.

And Spamton. He enters the comic since he also has ties to MTT, but like with the rest of his life, he’s excluded, and worse, defeated by the reality of his world. It’s fiction, all of it. You might be able to draw the perfect you, might be able to imagine a body that would perfectly align with who you really are, but it’s all imaginary. An image. A dream. He’s trans despair (at least in this comic) for that discrepancy between body and mind that will always remain in some degree. His despair is the same as Mettaton’s despair, who narrates alongside Spamton’s visuals. They’re in unison there because they’ve both experienced the same feeling, only now with the help, care, support, and love of his community, Mettaton is able to feel more like himself—the true him through creation. It might be an imaginary Dark World, but it came to life with the love they all share, with the excitement they bring together to see Mettaton’s dream come to reality. When he leaves Castletown, he might just be a drawing of a fancy body, and Pink may just be a figure of a catgirl, but everyone they love helped them feel more themselves than they have their entire lives. And that made their real selves a reality.

And THAT’s why you share the pen with Spamton. He may be little and weird, you may not know him very well, but wouldn’t you have wanted that olive branch extended to you? Wouldn’t you have wanted someone to hand you the pen and tell you “I see you.”

So yeah I’m trans and I love Deltarune. White quill of hope? Hell nah. Me and my homies got the black pen of being 🔥TRANSGENDER🔥

old sparkledogs and cat ocs in the files of old computers. wings extended forever in flight, tears frozen on their face from an event in a backstory long forgotten

the drawings made of others characters, in folders on a forgotten friend's computer, forever visiting, immortalized in drawings of silly inside jokes and gift-giving between amateurly-drawn colorful animals

a colorful cast, lined up in a row in a half-finished microsoft paint bitmap–smiling faces filled only most-of-the-way with the fill bucket tool. the comic text says "happy birthday!!!" the drawing was never finished, the gift was never sent. its they've been their birthday for 13 years in their eyes and they've never stopped smiling

colors paint-bucket-filled into downloaded free bases–folders of which still sit unused, waiting to spark new ideas, in a long-forgotten folder. most of them the well-known default colors until their artist realized how to use the custom color button

forever in a looping animation, only a third of the way finished–the artist wanted to animate like they saw online, those four frames probably took them weeks of frustration before the project was dropped–but their character is still running, for the rest of time, at 3 frames per second

thinking about slay the princess. Ive seen queer readings of the game before and i respect the hustle but i feel like a lot of them miss the point of the player character being a man and the princess being a woman. Theres a very intentional gender dynamic happening and thats a chunk of the point i think?

The long quiet is constructed with more agency than the princess and the princess has to be on her guard with you because of the nature of how the Construct constricts you both to your particular roles, you as the agent with control who's been instructed to be the aggressor despite the little instinctively empathetic voice in your head telling you that its wrong, and the princess as a prisoner of your interaction despite anything she might be capable of or any hope that you'll be kind, in the same way that men are often taught to be forward and aggressive while women are taught to be on the defensive against the risk of dangerous men. Like to me thats flagrantly a metaphor for how the societal construction of patriarchy and oppositional sexism can make dating women as a man and dating men as a woman become a minefield of trust and power dynamics instead of an open, free relationship of equal comfort and agency, and the subsequent evolutions of those routes explorations of how past dating experiences can color future ones or change your perspective on the past. If your last girlfriend hurt you, you may fear the next doing the same, or if you hurt your last girlfriend, the guilt may haunt you into your next relationship, and so on.

and thats reflected by the princess as a creature of perspective warped by how you percieve her as the Other, and also reflected in how there is One Specific Way this interaction is Supposed To Go if you listen to the narrative being sold to you and the game tells you in no uncertain terms to accept and follow it without question will leave you miserable and Cold, each new voice in the long quiet's mind a new lense to see the other Through.

Which isnt me saying a queer reading shouldnt be done in fact i think its, at times, one of the bisexualest games ive ever played where nothing explicitly same gender attracted is even possible because its most hopeful and healthy endings come from choosing to say fuck allllllll that noise and learn to intimately understand eachother's perspective with compassion and respect eachother's agency as fully realized people now that you're seperate yet intertwined despite how the narrative tries to pit you against eachother and treat you as two irreconcilable opposites rather than one whole thats been split apart arbitrarily by some guy who probably never bothered to understand why his wife left him when he thought everything was perfect because they were doing what they were Supposed To and decided that meant he should put together a plan to kill the concept of change to prevent 'the end of the world' even after he's long dead, a ghost, and Echo, and now you, the inheritors of this man's decision to split you into two beings in a construct made in no uncertain terms to keep you from understanding eachother, have to navigate being separated concepts and decide what your connection ought to look like. why else would 'happily ever after' be the first and only thing to make the narrator admit maybe he'd been trying to do something horribly wrong, if an eternal ending of static, shallow, conflict-free unconditional love where youre both far too afraid to challenge your roles and change even if the spark is dying and it rots in your mouth, and even you, his god-monster crafted symbolically in his own image, could let her go, and leave together on good terms so you can both move on to experience a brighter future, whether that be together or not.
