#anyway. i dont think the singing of dont forget at the end is entirely canon‚ exactly

I find something really interesting about Deltarune, and I want to talk about it.
YOU are canon to Deltarune.
Everything in real life that has ever happened is canon to Deltarune.
You are not playing as the Player, you ARE the Player. And not in an "oh, I need to imagine I'm involved in this for the game to make sense!" way, but in a literal, by the act of playing, you are the Player way.
And that's what kind of makes the game so real- When, instead of playing as a figure, you are the figure, through and through and without having to do anything, it kind of ropes you in, and brings itself out of the realm of fiction while it's at it.
Yes, the game is fiction, and yes, nothing in it is really happening, and the code is written. But when you're a part of the narrative, it becomes very easy to forget that, and so there's very few leaps in logic you need to take in order to make it feel real.
Kris is a video game character, both in reality and in canon. The game isn't fiction, it's reality. In the lore of Deltarune, Deltarune is a video game that you are playing. The exact same is true in reality.
This also leads to something many of us, including me, are guilty of- separating the Player and ourselves. Every instance of Deltarune that has ever been played has a different Player character, because it's a different person. But that gets confusing, so we refer to ourselves, and after time, them, as the Player. As time goes on, it's very easy to feel like your actions aren't your actions, but the Player's, and you're just moving the story along. Even if you haven't done Snowgrave, you can claim that the Player did snowgrave, because plenty of Players did snowgrave. But you didn't, and as such, it's not canon for your Deltarune.
We cannot characterize the Player. We cannot give them a personality seperate from our own. They are you, and you are them. Your actions are your own, and no matter what COULD happen, it doesn't until you make it. The Player is only malicious if you are malicious. The Player is sympathetic if you are sympathetic. If you don't want Kris to suffer, then the Player doesn't want Kris to suffer, and you're not a bad person. Your love is canon.
#i'm not articulating this how i want#you cannot make distinct you and the player‚ since you are the player‚ in fiction and in reality. it's just another name for you.#this came from me theorizing that Don't Forget was sung by us‚ or rather‚ me#and someone else argued that it couldn't be‚ since the player is too malicious to have done so#no‚ they aren't‚ not if you would sing this song to them‚ for any reason. the player is not evil for playing the game‚ it's a game.#you are the player.#the player is not a bad person. you are not a bad person.#anyway. i dont think the singing of dont forget at the end is entirely canon‚ exactly#or no‚ i do‚ but i dont think that it's one of the characters singing it. it's the song that plays during the credits‚ canonically#since everything that is reality in real life is also reality in deltarune#but if i had to assign a character‚ it'd be us. we're the kind of person to sing it#or. i'm the kind of person to sing it#deltarune#deltarune player#deltarune analysis#analysis#analysis post#media analysis#utdr#nutdealer posting

spare north to the future christmas/holiday headcanons? or i guess if you wrote them they would be canon? anyway here are mine, in the order of character appearance ❤️ hope you like them
when it's just her and appletini, jen makes paper snowflakes at the vet's and puts them up everywhere. she'll give a bottle of non alcoholic mulled wine to appletini, who'd have nothing to give back to jen (she is brainrotting thinking about aegon, obviously). embarrassing.
appletini tries, maybe succeeds in dragging aegon to her folks' house for christmas dinner. if he does decide to come, she'll definitely do that thing where she pats him down before entering the house with him and of course, brushing that lock of hair behind his ear. can't have that escapee getting out in front of her parents, so inappropriate!
aegon probably spends his last bucks buying something small but personal for sunfyre and appletini, then in the evening goes to ursa minor to beg for dale to put another ten rum and cokes on the tab "in the spirit of the holiday". sings christmas carols at the bar and sounds heavenly even when he's drunk. he also loves to make snow angels. fight me.
sunfyre is just happy to run around the snow and tries to eat it, hopefully no bears steal his full course meal! also if there is wrapping paper, he will tear it to pieces. keep him away from the christmas tree. (of course, everyone will forgive him once he curls up at their feet)
heather does the MOST with her christmas outfit and makeup, full mariah carey, holly jolly queen. she would love to hang out the whole night with the girl troupe at the bar but kind of understands that not everyone wants to get wasted on christmas. but she still makes the biggest effort to get everyone together bc she loves her girlies.
appletini's parents spend the whole day preparing christmas dinner together, placing mistletoes at convenient places for aegon and appletini to stumble under, making calls to neighbors to wish them a merry christmas. appletini's mom and dad also reminisce about how they fell in love and gossip about the two lovebirds.
joyce is eagerly awaiting new books for christmas, so eagerly in fact that she just buys one herself. she may not necessarily even read it right away, she just needed one to feel alive. goes with the current, doesn't care about any specific plans as long as she has her book. secretly likes the magical feeling of christmas and excepts something special to happen, though it may never!
kimberly got presents for everyone. she gives me rich girl vibes. definitely gave appletini some slutty clothing to slut that girl up slutty, saying the present was "really for aegon". probably got joyce something gothy like a skull shaped candle and some necklace/bracelet for heather with text that says "slut xoxo"
trent wears a christmas hat for the entire day and looks like an actual big elf. he gives appletini bacardi breezers for christmas without realizing that she would not indeed down them all that second and that they'd rot in the fridge until the end of january. he also buys a few drinks for aegon bc well, they are bros. the two also play patty cake while sitting on barstools and dont ask me how that ends up
the ice fisher is ice fishing, because, well, um, it's christmas. no murder allowed!
THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!! and are you sure you don't live in Juneau, Alaska in 1999 because I swear it's like you know these characters and party with them at Ursa Minor 3-4 nights per week 😂😂
The thought of Appletini forgetting everything except Aegon, like 😭 "Christmas what? Jesus who? The birth of our savior when? Sorry I was preoccupied planning my wedding to a man I just met who might be a murderer. the color scheme will be green. we will live in my parents' basement."
The Ice Fisher does not necessarily respect major holidays...
You will get to see Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day in the NTTF universe! Although they might not happen the way you would hope... 👀
Chapter 4 is over halfway done and will hopefully be ready in the next few days! 💜

Like Lightning After the Thunder: Chapter One: Damned Smile
Fic Summary:
His breath wavered as he stared into Katsuki’s eyes. He knew he could get out if he tried. He could knock Katsuki out, hope that no one else would find them, and run back into the shadows where he belonged. Katsuki may have had him pinned down but he was in Denki’s range now and it would take little effort to send a charge through Katsuki to paralyze him temporarily.
It would take barely any additional effort to kill Katsuki.
As the sparks began to charge, lighting up the air around him, Katsuki refused to back down.
–
Katsuki always knew he was destined for great things.
He didn’t think he’d have to turn his back on all he’s ever known to get there.
Rating: T
Warnings: Eventual major character death, implied/referenced child abuse, psychological trauma
Other Tags: Bakugou Katsuki/Kaminari Denki, slow burn, alternate universe - canon divergence

--
Even years later, that damn smile haunted his dreams.
There was absolutely no reason for him to still think about the event. Everything had been taken care of when it had happened― injuries were treated, authorities alerted, information secured, and a press conference to tie it all up in a big red bow. There were no loose ends, no surprise second coming, no physical reminders of what happened lingering in his daily life. Katsuki would have labeled it as done, dealt with, and no longer relevant, shoving it aside in his memory so he could focus on actual important shit.
Except his mind had different plans.
When he was lucky, he could completely forget about the event for months. Other times, his dreams would be filled with nothing but that damn smile, taunting him with its silence. He could usually predict when the dreams would come― the anniversary of the event for example― but other times, it seemed like anything could trigger the memory. He once saw a bright yellow balloon and for the rest of the day, every time he closed his eyes he saw that damned smile, never wavering despite the curses and insults Katsuki spewed.
He wanted to forget it. He wanted so desperately to forget it. For the image to erase itself from his mind, for it to take the feelings away with it. He could deal with the anger, he could always deal with the anger, but when his memory reminded him of the wave of hurt and betrayal that nearly blinded him…
When his alarm jolted him from his sleep and freed him from the smile, he couldn’t get out of bed fast enough. He woke up drenched in a cold sweat, sheets singed and smoking lightly as he unclenched his hands, and Katsuki was, for once, very relieved that not all of his sweat was explosive. He slapped the singes a few times to ensure that all of the embers were put out before heading for the bathroom, cursing under his breath as he flinched at his own reflection in the mirror.
There was nothing particularly wrong with his appearance, if you didn’t count the dark circles under his eyes from a fitful night’s sleep or his clammy skin, but after being plagued by the smile, Katsuki could barely look at himself. His reaction to the smile made him feel weak, like he couldn’t handle himself and that there was something wrong with him. It was just a smile after all. There was no reason for him to react to it like a nightmare, no reason for him to lose sleep over it or to feel overwhelmed by emotions at the thought of it.
Yet when he saw the smile and saw how the corners of his mouth were tugged a bit too tight, how his eyes were open a bit too wide, how the only shine in his eyes were the reflections of light on tears that refused to fall…
Katsuki cursed.
The icy cold shower did little to help distract him from the memory, nor did his morning run nor the steaming shower he took after. He wasn’t supposed to head into the agency today, so he didn’t have any planned beatdowns for today, and yes he probably shouldn’t be hoping for it, but part of him hoped for a sudden emergency villain so he could distract himself by focusing on beating some villain’s ass into next week.
A few hours later when his phone refused to stop buzzing, Katsuki wondered if throwing his phone across the room until it stopped would be close enough to beating villain ass to work. He reluctantly decided that talking to people so they’d leave him alone was probably less hassle to deal with than having to replace his phone and distribute his new number (even if it would give him an excuse to ghost some of these damn extras).
A few individual texts and a group text were the cause of the buzzing. As the group text’s new message count continued to rise, he figured it would be easier to respond to the individual texts first. Just in case he changed his mind about destroying the phone.
Four Eyes (Rocket Legs): Hello Bakugou, this is a reminder about the upcoming Class A reunion. As the head of the reunion committee, it is my duty to ensure an accurate headcount for the event, and I have yet to receive your response about your attendance. Please ensure to respond via the following link by this Friday at 11:59PM. [Class A 10 Year Reunion RSVP]
Four Eyes (Rocket Legs): In case you missed the previous messages regarding the reunion, the event is March 28th starting at 7PM at the Shinjuku Hotel in Musutafu. If you need to rent a room for the night or the weekend, please alert the Shinjuku Hotel staff that you are part of the Class A reunion party by next Wednesday for an event discount.
Katsuki frowned. He wasn’t exactly looking forward to the possibility of being surrounded by all of his former classmates and even less at the idea of being socially obligated to spend the entire evening with them. At least when he met up with his friends elsewhere, he could always claim needing to leave early so he could make the last train or that work needed him to come in early the next day.
He closed out of the conversation, figuring he still had a few more days to decide if he really wanted to deal with his classmates for an entire evening.
Midoriya: Hey Katsugou! I was wondering if you’re going to go to the reunion? Tenya said the deadline to RSVP is coming soon and we haven’t heard from you, so I just thought I’d check in!
Katsuki: The fuck is Katsugou?
Midoriya: Oh sorry!! Typo!!
Midoriya: Anyway, are you coming?
Katsuki closed out of the conversation and moved on to the next one.
Shitty Hair: Katsuki! Are you coming to the reunion or not dude????
Katsuki: Fuck off.
Shitty Hair: Aww dude that’s no way to talk to your best friend, you know you love me!!
Katsuki: I’m blocking you.
He did not, in fact, block him. But he did close out of Eijirou’s texts.
Save for the newest text sent directly from Eijirou, all that was left was the backlog of texts in the group text. It had kept going off while he was reading the other conversations, so Katsuki figured it meant that everyone was either off for the day or on their lunch break.
Raccoon Eyes: guys!!!!! the reunion is COMING UPPPPPP!!!!

Tape Face: lmao why do you have a pic of katsuki throwing ei
Shitty Hair: I still can’t believe you did that bro
Shitty Hair: WITHOUT WARNING TOO
Katsuki: I gave you plenty of fucking warning.
Shitty Hair: Saying “I’m throwing you” AS YOU’RE THROWING ME is NOT PLENTY OF WARNING DUDE
Raccoon Eyes: im always ready to document golden moments
Katsuki: Shut the fuck up. We won the training exercise so what’s it fucking matter?
Shitty Hair: YOU THREW ME!!
Katsuki: Tape Face caught you before you could get hurt.
Shitty Hair: YOU /THREW/ ME!!!!!!
Tape Face: barely caught
Katsuki: Whatever.
Raccoon Eyes: im still impressed by how eASY u made that look
Katsuki: What the fuck’s that supposed to mean?
Raccoon Eyes: o look conveniently timed distraction photo spam
Katsuki sighed as he continued the conversation, commenting here and there on the photos his friends sent for judgement. In retrospect, he probably should have tried to talk to Shion first, since there was a chance she would have denied the time off for the reunion. Although, knowing her, she would have accepted just to force Katsuki into socializing. He opened up a new text message, figuring that if Shion did decide to deny the time off, he would at least have a screenshot to send to his friends explaining the sudden change in plans.
Katsuki: I need March 28th and 29th off.
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Do my eyes deceive me? The great Katsuki Bakugou, asking for time off?
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): I’m amazed! Usually I have to ask you to take the day off!
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Nay, not ask, but force!
Katsuki: Are you going to give it to me or not?
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Depends! What do you need the time off for?
Katsuki: Class reunion.
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Oh those are fun!
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Fill out the proper time off paperwork and have it on my desk by Monday. I’ll approve the time off.
Four Eyes (Shitty Shion): Just keep your phone on you in case we need you to come in for an emergency, but I’ll try not to ruin your reunion with work.
Katsuki: Thanks.
Well, so much for an easy way out.
Katsuki pinched the bridge of his nose when he noticed that his phone had already accumulated another thirty texts in the past few minutes, no doubt primarily from Mina. He scrolled through the backlog, sending a few mostly empty threats when he saw photos he did not want projected for the entire class to see, freezing when his gaze met a pair of familiar amber eyes.
Shit.
In his scramble to close out of the photo, to escape the genuine smile that somehow was more haunting than the one in his dreams, he left the group text completely. He briefly thanked his past self; he’d impulse or rage quit the group text plenty of times before that this wasn’t unusual behavior. If he was lucky, his friends wouldn’t have noticed the timing of his departure and would assume he was just fed up with the notifications or the conversation.
Shitty Hair: You okay, Katsuki?
A weak laugh escaped Katsuki’s lips as he read the newest notification. Of course Eijirou noticed.
Katsuki: I’m fine.
Shitty Hair: Okay
Shitty Hair: We don’t have to talk about it
Shitty Hair: But if you want to, I’m here dude
Shitty Hair: I’ll tell the others that you left so your phone would shut up and not to add you back yet
Katsuki: Thanks. Really.
Shitty Hair: No problem dude
Katsuki put his phone down, silently praying for the smile to leave him alone.
When he finally laid down for bed that night, he repeated the short prayer, for a peaceful night’s rest free of the smile, of the hurt, of the pain, of the guilt.
But as always, the smile came.

drunk!julian headcanons
youre welcome in advance. warning: this post is tagged but just in case, after qoaad i edited these to account for the ending so major spoilers ahead
**dedicated to @carstairsemma who never let me forget these existed and also @mostawesomepineapple because i still feel bad that i sent her that ask(IM SORRY MISHEL VASFGHA)
where to begin??
okay so julian probably would not like to get drunk a lot because he would not be in control but to say it would never happen is ignorant and simply untrue
the first time it happened was during julian and emma’s travel year when they were out at some club that the paris institute’s hip teens took them to
they both decided to drink a little but julian got drunk fast
i could totally go on about drunk!emma too but she’ll have her time to shine some other time that isn’t now
so anyway julian got really really really quiet and when emma asked what was wrong he gestured for her to come closer, got really close to her face, and whispered, “i think im drunk” and they both just started hysterical laughing
emma asked if he wanted to leave but he said no
dancing ensued and bad singing accompanied it
emma decided not to drink anymore because drunk julian was a new concept to her and she didn’t know how to handle him or what to expect
as it turns out, nothing particularly bad happened
they sat alone on a small couch in the back where it wasn’t as crowded
drunk!julian cannot shut up about how much he loves emma, how pretty she is, how much he loves her, oh wait he already said that
he rambles and rambles and rambles to her about how much he loves her
emma thinks she might be permanently blushing
“emma youre like.....like...like my best friend”
“well yeah i sure hope so”
there is definitely kissing but emma doesnt let it go too far while he’s shitfaced and she isn’t
julian definitely cries multiple times
first because emma is just so beautiful, again because he misses the kids(then again because after he calms down he has the idea to call them which emma is strongly against), again because he accidentally hits into emma’s arm with his hand while he was gesturing while telling her about-well, he cant remember what he was telling her about but it definitely wasnt worth hurting emma over(“im fine, julian”)
once he starts sobering up they decide to make their way back to the institute
after a few times that emma has seen julian drunk she realizes a few things:
julian curses a lot when he’s drunk
he uses gestures and big hand movements a lot and they get more extravagant and ridiculous the more he drinks
he is a very sentimental drunk
his normally very observant and logical self goes out the window
he gets very loud(in uhm quite a few ways)
he’ll be really brash and outgoing but get insecure and quiet at the slightest things
he doesn’t really care about keeping his secrets anymore and will tell everyone about that time him and his girlfriend were giants, the mundanes just think he’s making shit up in his intoxicated state
speaking of which, he loves to tell people that emma is his girlfriend, something he already does sober but it gets a thousand times worse when he’s drunk
julian is ready to fight anyone who has ever crossed him while drunk
if julian is going to get drunk, emma should just prepare to be exposed to the world honestly julian will tell anyone all of their secrets(which luckily are far less important now but STILL)
when julian and emma get drunk together they are either both at a 10 and ready to fight anyone ever or they literally start having sex in public(thule!blackstairs who??)
emma gets more quiet and contemplative when she isnt entirely shitfaced yet so julian will happily listen to her musings about the universe while being the actual human embodiment of the heart eyes emoji
there was that one time julian accidentally wound up drunk on christmas
of course that was the year the la institute was hosting christmas with the ny institute, as well as tessa, jem, kit, and baby jessa in attendance
honestly rip everyone but especially rip emma
after the first time it doesnt happen that often that only one of them will be drunk but when emma is sober while julian is drunk thank the angel
not only does she save christmas but probably all of shadowhunter kind
“im going to fucking go to idris right this fucking ass second and show zara exactly-” “julian, idris is blocked off” “i can fucking find a way in” “no, really, the portals-” “CAN SUCK MY DICK” “julian, no”
he’s also so ready to bring annabel back from the dead just to slap her
though he has to agree with emma that that one probably isnt the best idea
the poor guy who accidentally bumped into emma on the sidewalk did not know what he was starting
that one took a lot of convincing on emma’s part that she was completely fine and not upset about what happened and please dont chase after him i need you to not be in jail right now, julian
julian would be the embodiment of that meme where he asks if emma is single and cries when she says no except he would never not know that the girl was emma and wouldnt even think about asking someone else out so its highkey unrealistic but
its canon that julian and emma like to sing along to the radio and such but drunk!julian? he literally thinks he’s a pop star
when emma is driving drunk!julian home and meet me in the middle comes on? forget it julian is full on marren morris level having a performance in the passenger seat
drunk!julian in general is just a party
but a really unpredictable party
this is what i have for now but i may continue/do drunk!emma or just drunk!blackstairs in the future so lmk about that
also please feel free to send me your personal drunk!julian hcs because i am in love with him
#qoaad spoilers#drunk!julian#im scared please dont yell at me#mine#tda hc#julian blackthorn#emma carstairs#blackstairs#tda#my writing#point out typos you cowards#im so not happy w this im sorry i'll write more and make them better
