Toby fox is voicing who in what

ok yeah whatever i dont have the energy to write a fic about this. TAZ deltarune concept AU:

Probably vaguely a modern AU on the surface

Lup has disappeared, presumed dead, but it turns out some people are attempting to "resurrect" her by bringing her red umbrella to Dark Worlds in the hopes that it will become "her"

Can't decide which would be better - keep the memory shenanigans and have some characters meet Darkner!Lup without knowing who she is, or have characters remember she's gone and be actively trying to find/create her

The real world either has some calamity threatening it, or it's just miserable without Lup, so Lucretia has the misguided idea to make it a Dark World everywhere all the time. (the roaring? never heard of it)

If the Soul possession was part of things, I could see Lucretia also being the one to do that. Inviting in a potentially-terrible force & lying to some people so that you can complete your goals and save your loved ones? Yeah OK

I don't think any of Tres Horny Boys would be into the whole necromancy aspect of things. Taako would just discover Darkner!Lup at some point and it would go so so badly

Honestly they might be the prophecied guys tasked with closing all the Dark Fountains without really understanding what's going on, but they slowly start piecing stuff together

You KNOW what's up with the Titan. I guess John is the Knight or something idk idc. Or, actually, the real Lup could be the Knight, depending on what theories you subscribe to.

Meanwhile in the Light World, everybody's trying to make deadlines at their jobs and shit. Background tension building

in the end, of course, we've gotta stop Lucretia from inadvertently ending the world. and maybe we get back Lightner!Lup in the meantime.

"toriel is a horrible person" "i hate sans in deltarune" "god forbid a woman have a break every once in a while" "thats just sans why are you mad" how about everybody shut up and listen to what i have to say

deltarune is an incredibly complex game. it has some incredibly complex characters and story lines, and toriel and sans are no different.

look. i love soriel just as much as the next undertale multishipper. those two, in the context of undertale, are perfect for each other. same sense of humor, same amount (or very similar amount) of care for frisk, both in need of someone they can truly count on. so hell yeah, the silly skeleton and goat mom can be together.

the thing is. in deltarune. its not so simple.

in deltarune, sans isnt close with kris. sans probably doesnt even care about kris all that much. in chapter 1, he even says that kris had never really met him before. all this to say, the relationship kris has with sans is nothing like the relationship frisk has with sans. and, by proxy, the relationship we have with sans in deltarune is entirely different from our relationship with him in undertale.

as for toriel, its a lot more complicated. in undertale, she goes out of her way to save frisk multiple times, to protect frisk despite having just met them. she has that "i just met you but id literally die for you" kind of motherly vibes. but toriel in deltarune? shes been kris's mom for their entire life, as far as we know. shes had to put up with every little thing kris has ever done, all of their antics their whole life, while also dealing with a clingy ex husband, working a full time job as a teacher, and missing her older child, who is alive and well and at college. she loves kris, yes, but the way a tired single mother who rarely gets a break does rather than a lonely mother figure who rarely gets visitors. once again, our relationship with undertale toriel is vastly different from our relationship with deltarune toriel.

so heres what i think about the toriel and sans scene at the end of chapter four. to put it plainly and simply, it pisses me off. both toriel and sans are being irresponsible and selfish.

"oh but toriel deserves to take a break and have fun" yes, but theres a few things here. one, she didnt seem to care that kris came home so late. sure, that could be seen as toriel trusting kris to be safe and whatever, but dont you think shed be a little more wary, what with the whole dess situation from years before? two, shes drinking on a sunday night after a CHURCH choir rehearsal. which, again, not necessarily bad, but its how far she went with it, getting basically blackout drunk with a guy who wasnt even drinking. and three, sans. just. everything about the fact that hes there. he didnt need to be there. and he could have stopped toriel from going to far with the drinking but he didnt. he let her keep drinking until she could barely stand straight and laughed it off like it was fine. like kris wasnt going to come home at some point and see that. like kris didnt need to sleep that night. like kris didnt even exist.

the thing that pisses me off so much is that it shows, first of all, how little sans cares about kris, and second of all, how that mentality of his is rubbing off on toriel.

and yeah, sure, argue that thats "just how sans is" but please recognize that thats not a good thing. sans not caring and rubbing that off on toriel is not a good thing. because thats how kids get neglected. thats how kids get inadvertently hurt by their own parents, who are supposed to love and protect them.

and yeah, toriel doesnt know that kris and susie are "doing a deltarune", as i saw one person argue. but she does know something is going on. she knows kris is doing something thats incredibly draining and probably not super healthy, and shes not pushing because she respects them, but she does know. shes a mother. moms know these kinds of things. and for her to just. not care. at all. to drink and dance and play loud music late into the night, even after kris gets home, and to do so until susie, who ran away from it, has to come back and literally yell at toriel and sans to shut up. thats not okay.

thats bad parenting. toriel may not be a bad mom, and im not saying she is, but shes definitely doing some pretty bad things that are going to have lasting, awful effects on her relationship with her own kid.

thats what pisses me off about that scene. thats why im mad at toriel. thats why i hate deltarune sans but still love undertale sans. thats why i love the complexity of deltarune so much.

and also? people are entitled to their fucking opinions. if someone hates soriel in deltarune for whatever reason, as long as they arent calling other people stupid for liking it, theyre allowed to hate soriel in deltarune. do whatever you want forever. just dont come at people for differing opinions.

peace out, i guess.

Minecraft YouTuber fandom and shipping has really changed in the past ten years. Nowadays people are like “yeah I ship these two but only their PERSONAS they play in this specific series” and RPF is very much not welcomed. Meanwhile back in 2015 the roosterteeth fandom was like “I want these real life men who work at this company to FUCK NASTY STYLE”

Currently sat in a summer school type thing we're hosting in work and some English architect is telling us about sustainable design in Wales, except she hasn't bothered learning a single Welsh name and if I have to listen to one more "I don't know how to say 'Welsh name' so I'm going to use 'shitty English name/nothing while laughing at it' I'm going to throw this slanty drawing desk at her head

By the way i think it’s beautiful and amazing how the mcelroys have continued to innovate with this podcast and keep exploring new genres and themes and ideas for over a decade now. I love getting to see the new games they use and how those systems shape the story being told. Ily balance, ily amnesty, ily graduation, ily ethersea, steeplechase, versus dracula, abnimals, royale, & ily mini-arcs and liveshows. Everybody say thank you the adventure zone 👍

im just ramblng here but im not gonna lie fellas it really does kinda suck, just a little bit, that ppl genuinely just refuse to ever take papyrus seriously as a character. & tbh i think his absence in deltarune has somehow been making that worse??

like i agree that knight papyrus isn't very plausible from a narrative standpoint, but it's been frustrating to see ppl start acting like it wasn't ever anything more than a silly joke or crack theory. outside of the extremely-obvious-Holidays, papyrus is by far one of the most fitting candidates for the knight's identity & he still has yet to be anywhere near as solidly debunked as basically every other pre-ch3 knight theory has been (other than, again, the obvious)

to me it almost feels like the longer we go without him being involved in anything, more people are starting to treat him like he's just a shallow joke character instead of, yknow, a character

and like. yeah papyrus is goofy as all hell. he is a very very VERY comedic character who i'll admit is rarely, if ever, written seriously, even in the actual game he comes from. but the thing that makes him a great character is when you look at him underneath all that silliness

and the thing is, that's what you do with literally every other character already. that's how most ppl engage with undertale/deltarune's stories in the first place. but when it comes to papyrus specifically, for some reason, people just. don't even want to entertain the idea that there could be anything more going on there at all

all these theories about sans & what could possibly happen in dr for sans to get stuck in ut or whatever, & then papyrus is just like. there. he has nothing to do with anything, ever. even tho he & sans are both canonically stated to have arrived in snowdin at the same time

i have genuinely seen more people suggest that deltarune sans straight up left his brother behind before they ever considered that papyrus could perhaps, maybe, possibly, also be weird & mysterious

every weird thing he ever says is either taken completely at face value or used as evidence for yet another theory about sans and sans alone

man. idk man. it's sucks‼️‼️‼️

i feel like if you live near a cool place it's easy to get so used to it that you become too inured to the coolness and don't take advantage of it. but you should go take advantage of it. you fool.

today i thought abt how some ppl dream of going to nyc their whole lives. and i was like okay fine and i took a train to the city. and i was still sad. but you know what. i was sad in the city. and that's better
