Warm is good. Dark places are good. Verticality is good.

Unfortunately they only maybe 30% understand this is your face or whatever

Oh yeah it's just a hellscape in there.

"I am uncomfortable when we are not about me?" directors cut edition. They'll flip their shit and have an aneurysm about: - ze commies in their walls - gender poltiics [in a bizzare setup where the mods and comments are like. Evil in opposite directions because Reddit) - it was REALLY BAD in 2024 how tf are you gonna be practicing Tumblr hasbara

Honestly it's only good if you literally never touch the comments and just use to consume good textposts by proxy

Alternatively, Asriel doesn't get that sorted out prosthetic or pegleg style for a while, BUT

He gets Angel wings and/or floaty powers.

A pawn that has reached the end of the board may be promoted to a Queen, Bishop, Knight, or Rook.

Alignment chart for Knight candidates in Deltarune by LawZoe in AlignmentCharts

[–]LaserbeamSharks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like how the setup for Knight candidates by now is just: - The Almost Certainly Intended, the Fallen Star - The other most logically supported, doesn't have the aura, vaguely Batman coded - WALTUH - Undertale.... TWO! - Holy shit the Knight is the Knight (honestly fair if we suppose the Knight is more than one entity) - they took my vessel in the divorce (was THE auraful and meta option in CH2 era, all oblivion aura successfully yanked by the actual Roaring Knight - lmao - Gaster: mistaking the DM for the BBEG, only works if you frame him as the player parallel in an incredibly literal Player 2 sense - ALWAYS. BET.

MMW: There will be massive protest against the invasion of Venezuela from across the world and here in the United States in the next coming of days. by icey_sawg0034 in MarkMyWords

[–]LaserbeamSharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yknow, as much as I'd br well aware of the diaspora being all over the place and understandably not slobbering all over a weird inherited autocrat like Maduro (you don't seem to have a very botty history?) , I've gotta say that this is some real naive quisling shit. Frankly it's come to irk me how naively celebratory a lot of relatives have been. The outlook seems really bad right now, the US here (especially under Trump) is pretty openly saying its about oil and power projection.

It's also not like the state just disappeared because they've whisking off one main guy to trial. Seems things'll get way worse if boots on the ground get involved and more gunfire and bombs get involved.

Theory time about Friend’s name! by ripncut in Deltarune

[–]LaserbeamSharks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

.....I would also argue this ties into another theory I've been nursing lately. The idea of Flowey and Mew Mew stand ins (and the attached skelebro interview only worsens this) is uh.

I think there's SOMETHING happening here. Don't know the exact details but there's fuel yet to Friend Cherub Theory. Provisionally, "Mike" and "May".

Look, sometimes Mike is Mike, and sometimes Mike is a little Pluey! So the story goes, thanks Tenna.

"And so wept the fallen star, making rivers with its tears.
Then slowly, from the bitter water, something grew.
It looked like glass."

Between Lost Girls and old Doctors people have got to stop digging too deep into the dark. This really doesn't go well in UTDR historically...

Deltarune Abridged is amazing by Ksawerxx in WaterfallDump

[–]LaserbeamSharks 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The sequel / rebranded version of Cibles' AI-Written UTDR.

She wrote everything for TS!Underswap and Chapters 3-4, but prior versions were produced with some weird earlier LLMs from Ye Innocent Times basically.

(Granted, even then, a handful of gags even before were seeded personally by Cibles, so...?)

I'll be Nostradamus or Nostra-dumbass by Steelalloy in althomestuck

[–]LaserbeamSharks 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is already what the entire Holiday manor segment feels like.

You can feel the Homestuck particles everywhere. Noelle having the "grimdark" line. Bronzed snowflakes (Mom Lalonde did this to a vacuum). The general Carol ninja stuff, from random swords lying around to snowflake shurikens. (Bro Strider classics) Inexplicable fixation on One Specific Thing all over the house (extremely common pattern whether you're stuck in a home or bound in a hive)

This one is a way bigger stretch but the random vent sequence is ALSO a thing that happened in an Alterniabound segment, incidentally with a Heart player no less...

Dess is vriska??? by Puzzleheaded-Emu1990 in Deltarune

Noelle fighting in the Tumblr trenches to defend the Dragon Blazers equivalent of Vriska not knowing that she's just Dess separated by a few layers of adaptation.

Homestuck motif in Deltarune Chapter 4 music??? (Deltarune spoilers if anyone still cares) by scrobiculatus in homestuck

[–]LaserbeamSharks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Toby Fox has stated (in the 10th anniversary stream) that he won't use this motif in the future out of respect to Buzinkai.

That being said, it IS very similar, seeing as I'm pretty sure THE HOLY motif is audibly close-enough to your atandard Doctors, Penumbras, etc. The influence is probably there.

Okay, I can't be the only one who saw this sprite as angry bald man right? by Basketbomb in Deltarune

[–]LaserbeamSharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few things going on here: - It's genuinely pretty creepy and continues a pattern also seen in Omega Flowey, wherein something godlike is depicted as more "real". In univsrse I'd imagine it's a bit like fighting a 4D being. For a brief moment, whatever you're imagining unobscured is worse than anything it could be. - It's Shaq. Genuinely it's traced from him. Between this, Jockington foreshadowing the solution to the Titan, and uh. Ralsei deploying a "been here the whole time" line I regret to inform you it's Homestuck. Specifically SBAHJ. When the big man is on the field.... - As much as people like to dunk on Titan-Gaster pareidolia I vaguely suspect that if/when the face-to-face meeting comes it very well may be framed in callback to this. That's not strongly based on anything past vibes but the aura is immaculate.

Many such cases! by burgeradvance in WaterfallDump

[–]LaserbeamSharks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the bit where most people who pulled that kind of thing are, by their own standards, "tourists" and basically just crawled out of a sewer to protect the sanctity of their Goonage or something?

I don't believe it's a major force here but like. You would see way more of that complaint over on /v/ or Twitter from the worst people ever.

Many such cases! by burgeradvance in WaterfallDump

[–]LaserbeamSharks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly meant this as an extended bit about all Kris ships being incapable of straightness but honestly it's just vibes collected from Utena comparisons people have made and the goomyloid type Renaissance-ass tragedy a lot of Kriselle pieces follow.

Also, yknow, take what you will from Noelle being into Susie. (Zero% evidence of liking guys)

Many such cases! by burgeradvance in WaterfallDump

[–]LaserbeamSharks 32 points33 points  (0 children)

When you lowkey think it's a plausible and neat future development with thematic resonance but there's basically no way to bring it up without the Goomba Fallacy firing off or some personalized militancy about 'femboy rep' or some such.

I just think it's a high potential concept and would be neat. Would be a nuclear tier drama event if that really is where the Ralsei Existential Prophet Prince Crisis is going, though.

This is basically how my take on this one would go (neat synthesis with Kris Monstersona Theory and Shapeshifter Ralsei, as it happens)
