Undertale and/or deltarune is fucked up because it causes you to think sentences like “What if the reason there’s an asterisk in front of most but not all text is because asterisks that mark divisions in text are called dingbats and this is somehow indicative of a character that doesn’t even actually exist’s constant presence” and then you realize the way that sounds is like. Nobody thinks this way. Have you ever read words before.

#Actual example of a thing i thought of last year at some point i remember finding the message the other day #it doesnt hold up very well because the asterisk doesn't appear on battle dialogue #and specifically papyrus but that's because the asterisk in the papyrus font looks really bad.#it's just like an apostrophe. i used to do a lot of text corruption runs so i know this well.#mypost #theres also other dialogue that doesnt have asterisks in some cutscenes and whatnot but whatever this never held up #just a funny example to me of something completely insane i once seriously considered in recent memory
