This is the first time I noticed Luffy in the corner saying "Zoro?"

I find this funny for two reasons; first, that it sounds like Luffy is suggesting an answer to Alvida's question and second, because this may be Oda's little nod to Watsuki's character Kenshin whose reaction phrase is "Oro?"

Here's a Kenshin from around the time Oda would have quit working as Watsuki's assistant to do One Piece.

okay deliriously mad about this specific bit in an f/oa review. YOU HAVE JUST PLAYED. A GAME. ABOUT FOUND FAMILY. where hermes in multiple instances expresses the fact he feels more at home in the underworld, doesn't have a good relationship with his father anymore and feels as though he is always playing a role on olympus. if you fucking choose to stay on olympus despite building a relationship with the wider cast and hermes, OF COURSE he is going to reject any advances and break off a budding relationship. BECAUSE THE PC HAS JUST PROVED TO HIM THAT THEY HAVE NOT LISTENED OR TAKEN TO HEART ANY OF THE THINGS HE'S BEEN WORRIED ABOUT. the pc chooses to rejoin a community that ostracizes the people he cares most about and essentially does what hera does, use the underworld as a getaway from olympus when it suits them, without caring deeply about the underworld itself. like cmon. some criticism i can get but this one.. KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!

Halara x Seth. Halara has the human equivalent of a pathetic wet cat, and Seth has someone that can protect his scrawny ass. Also I have said this before but chapter 1 best chapter

ID: Digital art of Susie and Noelle from Deltarune, in their dark world outfits. The art is only partially lined with coloured lines, the colour palette has a pink tint to it, and the characters are drawn with simple proportions. Susie stands with a confident smile. Noelle stands slightly behind her, also smiling, holding onto one of Susie’s hands. End ID.

they r awesome sauce...

[otogariado]

i really like krusielle

Do you remember if DRTVdev ever released a strength chart of the characters? I swear that they did but I can't actually find anything like that on their blog. If you don't remember it, I'm ready to give up this thought as some sort of DRDT-deprived hallucination

Yep, they sure did! It was one of the answers to the CH2 Part 1 QnA, but like many other answers in that QnA, it was deleted after some time for some reason. Here’s the image.

The dev said not to take it too seriously, since strength can be measured in several different ways, etc. And given it was deleted, its validity is even more up in the air. If you wanna see the full answer, here’s a link to a random reblog that has it. As a tip, when you reblog a post on Tumblr, the post will always remain the same on your page even if the OP edits it, so you can see other deleted answers that way (although I don’t think anyone reblogged it when the Taylor and Alyssa name drops where there, so that remains a screenshot only thing afaik. I mean who would be crazy enough to check through reblogs for that am I right guys-)

Considering what's happening in the current storyline, you can see Oda lining up all the characters who will be there for the final showdowns. Koby may actually make this happen.

Love this for you bby

ID: A simple sketch of a person lying on their back with tears streaming down their face. End ID.

thinking abt darkners names not getting any response in the vessel creation... only lightners....... thinking about ralsei following everything you tell him to regardless of if it aligns with what he wants......... thinking about how berdly, a lightner, is the ultimate point of no return for the snowgrave route, how you can still leave it no matter how many darkners you kill as long as you don't kill him......thinking about the secret bosses and what happens to someone in a society where their worth happiness and livelihood hinges all on whether or not they are useful.........

with the progress bar now at 100%, I wanna ask:

*have to put context here because it was too long for the poll option: in May 2023 a playlist with 16 songs called "character playlist" was made public on the official drdt channel. after a few weeks or so of theorising, it has since went private. I think there are some archived links if you search for it on tumblr

[zzoupz]

the op of the post took it down FINALLY. their reason for continuing the beef was apparently that you "put a dead deer in a tree as hot" on the tierlist. they thought the tree demon from ch2 and a lifeless deer corpse strung up in a tree were somehow the same character/event. twitter sure is a fucking place

DEAR GOD 😭😭😭😭😭

[howlonomy]

What if, somehow, Monster Clover met the Deltarune cast? How would the 3 of them react to the little scrunkly (If they knew he wasn't evil of course)?

op unfortunately i havent played deltarune since ch2 came out and i… am so afraid of making them ooc GAJDJS i dont remember the nuances of their character as well as i did

BUT

based off of what i remember of them;

kris: would be so jealous of clover for being a human that got to turn into a monster. why cant it happen to them :/

susie: would think theyre cool as hell for eating gunpowder and having a gun. fuck yeah you funky little fox thing!! chaos

ralsei: neutral?? i feel like he’d feel the same way about clover as he did with lancer. hes baffled that they used to be a human but clover has no answers for him

[shsl-reblogger]

mew’s failed attempt was in chapter two as well… why are they all in that one chapter

protagonist: wow, i sure hope nobody says anything strange today

insufferable twink antagonist in chapter two:

Music Collection vol.3 repo

note: i don't know a thing about music somebody please please do a musical analysis of king-ohger some day

There's still no "Mysterious Debut" from ep4!!! Did you guys forget it??!!

1: I didn't even knew i needed the narration bgm but thank you narration bgm. recgonized it immediately.

2: this is my favourite (non-obstructing) version of instrumental Zenryoku King so far

Shugoddom 2 years after: there's still kind of a solem march disciplinary rhythm but it feels more upbeat and cheerful than authoritarian

N'kosopa: my instinct reaction is: freedom. contrary to Shugoddom, i don't hear a single instrument as the melody it feels more background noise in a good sense. As in it suits the environment as opposed to dominating the scene. Maybe you can make a theory about there's no single driving force and N'kosopa is all about community

Ishabana: I don't have much of a reaction to it but i think it's more… subtle? as in v1 was very much announcing Himeno's appearance and you're supposed to fall head over heels for her and v2 is "I'm exerting beauty regardless of your worship"?

Toufu: it's so fun. you know you're in for a ride. wouldn't be out of place if it plays at the mall during new year.

Gokkan: I LOVE YOU. this part brainwashed me back in 27 and i kept thinking if this is the Gokkan theme or the Shugddom theme because they share that orchestral repeat and it plays into Jeramie and Gira transforming (btw Jeramie is not in that medley). In the middle it turned sombre again but the melody comes back on it's like regaining control and the song is proper balanced!

8: i think this is an earlier bgm we don't hear as often now. very comforting while alluring you to a bedtime story. i like the strings 1 minute in

9: YES JERAMIE'S CHOIR DEBUT SONG IS HERE. *blast it at highest volume* love the wind chimes 0:37-0:50 you really need to turn it max to hear, and it stops when the drum starts building tension. there's beats of "8. A story wiped from history" at the end too.

10: i see it… ep26… buganarok national day *wipe tears*

11: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 RITAAAAAAA

12: violin INFERNO!!! i love this one. my strongest impression of it was in ep11 the orphans griefing about Gira. What do you mean it's called "A king's compassion for his peole" 😭😭

13: the! the touching bgm!

15: love Dugded's theme. SW vibes if i say so, knowing Hidetsuna did use SW as an inspiration for chapter 2. strong impact the first time i hear it.

16: i can sing along to this

17: ?… OH "Racles's schemes"!! Hello old friend! Another one to sing along.

(these dug themes are melting together for me…)

20: Does this share some sounds with "18. Uchuuoh's Iron First"???

22: compared with "Assemble! The five kings", I like the ch2 assemble theme is more [穩重]… more mature and grounded. There's still the same insipiring quality but a sense of you can really trust them to take care of everything instead of just raging on an adventure. I guess it's they are working better as like a team.

ringtones:

gira/racles: evil vs hero. will believe racles's ringtone is the official shugoddom anthem.

yanma: THAT'S OUR PREZ! (anything i can say will never be as GOAT as Hidetsuna-san designing a wblue matching ringtone)

himeno: afternoon tea

rita: i hadn't noticed there's a "dun-duh" after the chibi moffun chirps. Rita is always getting calls and always cutting their ringtones short 😂 sorry Rita but gotta say the sharp chirps is not good for my ears

kagu: i almost forgot his bgm is like this 😂 very fitting i guess

jeramie: medieval european bard

out of the 8 the only one i'd consider using is probably jeramie's. and maybe yanma's racles song 😂

now we need a retro rpg with the ringtones as bgm

insert songs:

Pride and Brave: ooh the full song is much better than just the ed segment! something about Takatori-san's voice being nostalgically reassuring. Like the crossover itself, very traditional-flavoured sentai. I always thought of "Waking the King" as an "ura-OP", the OP King-Oh would have if it's born 10 years earlier, and this is the special edition crossover movie dancing ED.

Just we go: This is the "image song" of ch2 so it hasn't been used in the show yet. Contrary to "Waking the King" this feels more like an "ura-ED" but not a dance one, closer to a Rider ED. The lyrics is very affirming of the kings' journey this past (three) year(s) - that i feel like, a message that i receive from the show, is you can always make up for your mistakes and you always have a second chance, and the lyrics is saying that. It maybe the same vague hopeful words but it's about taking everything that happened to you, ackowledged how hard you fought, to protect your home and then facing the future without reservations. cliche of cliche but it works!

I'm still alive: I love this song. I've waited for it since ep 2. TWO. (now it's released the crown of longest-waiting bgm is passed to Mysterious from ep4).

and I feel so sorry and mean if I critique the grammar because the artist and team worked hard on it and musically it's wonderful! The grammar just takes it a little bit out of immersion. Now i'm curious if the lyrics has a japanese blueprint that better convey the message. Reagrdless, it's interesting to think of the english language is part of Yanma's antique/retro hobby. Maybe English is an antiqudated language on Chikyuu so the gramma is odd to modern Chikyuu ears.
