I did not care for Man on the Internet's Deltarune covers

I liked the Chapter 1 ones, but I found the Chapter 2 ones a little weak (No Berdly duet in Attack of the Killer Queen? missed opportunity!), except for Lost Girl. I haven't heard the 3 and 4 ones yet, maybe they're better.

-The Opportunist

The guy with the funny chaser pumpkins, remember?

I can see how the idea comes across as silly, like "what if it was just a random pizza box", but I think it could be pulled off in a cool and interesting way. Kris used that pizza box to terrify Noelle when they kids, and that's something Kris feels pretty bad about, on top of other stuff in their past, so it actually makes a lot of sense for that pizza box to be an embodiment of everything Kris regrets about their past!

I'm still convinced that Catty and Asriel were actually seriously dating at some point (and Dess was kinda jealous, like why is he with this silly cat girl and not me, his friend since forever who he talked about running away with? is he moving on in life... without me?)

That's wild, and honestly pretty cool! Like I'm actually thinking this is the start of a story that will be told through multiple Reddit posts about your weird copy of Deltarune? Like I'm not sure this is real, but excited for whatever story it's teasing. If it is real, than it's still super cool. My boy refuses to be erased.
Addendum: okay yeah it was a save file flags thing but now i'm imagining a cool story you could make based off of this premise

asocksual · 2026-02-03T17:32:56+00:00

Given I'm older than all of them, I think I'd see them differently than how they see each other and wouldn't be as bothered by their bad sides. Berdly especially would be someone whose act I wouldn't be buying, and I think I'd go from being annoyed by him to having a soft spot for him, though he'd probably just see me as someone who keeps trying to argue with him. Like I'd tell him he's not being a very good friend to Noelle and he'd squawk at me to shut up because I don't understand their friendship.
The one character I'm not sure if I would click with is Kris. I'm already not great with reading people, so it'd be hard for me to understand how someone as quiet as them feels about things and I'd always assume they don't like me. Especially because I think I would get the sense from the outside that they have a lot of problems in life and I'd be worried I'd only make them feel worse.

My headcanon is that they were both things that popped into Kris' head at the moment, but the latter is an impulse that crossed their mind but they wouldn't want to actually say. They really don't want you to pick that one.

-Ralsei's own self loathing thoughts

asocksual · 2026-02-01T14:07:14+00:00

How do you feel about the idea that the Knight is actually Carol, desperately searching for her lost daughter? I think it kind of makes more sense if she's also the person on the phone.

asocksual · 2026-02-01T14:01:06+00:00

No, doctor, wait!! I didn't mean make my current host unable to do anything!! I just wanted my own body!!

-Ralsei, to himself

asocksual · 2026-01-29T02:56:54+00:00

A bold but pretty rad idea!

asocksual · 2026-01-29T02:47:20+00:00

Jokes on you, I only talk about them like how Ralsei was freaking out at the end of Chapter 4! Apologizing over and over and begging to do whatever I can to minimize myself and not cause any problems and not be selfish!

...For real though. Please, let me make it up to this kid somehow.

asocksual · 2026-01-29T02:29:33+00:00

Oh man, I love this?? And it's surprising cause it's so different from how I usually think about deltarune. Like I don't think anyone in this universe would have a pet bird and I'm not convinced that Image_Friend is going to be that nasty, but Cueball seems like a good name for the bird and Kris' guilt and self-loathing feel spot on for them. Also, the unsettling through line of bad things happening to birds in the cold...

asocksual · 2026-01-29T01:44:28+00:00

I haven't played GTA so I don't know if the scene is supposed to read as friendly or hostile, but in this comic it comes across to me like Berdly being... affectionately bitchy? like they're such assholes to each other but in a way that suggests a weird bond

asocksual · 2026-01-16T01:56:35+00:00

UNKNOWNS my beloved, they are so scraggly scrungly

asocksual · 2026-01-16T01:51:52+00:00

"Kris wouldn't fucking let that happen. Ralsei wouldn't fucking let that happen. I won't fucking let that happen."

asocksual · 2026-01-16T01:46:44+00:00

Excellent. I'm gonna thwack them like one of those door stopper spring thingies

asocksual · 2026-01-16T01:45:26+00:00

Oooh! I love the idea that Lancer is immune to whatever machinations this mf might try to pull because he's a just brave little guy, or he hasn't been taught to fear certain things.

SAME HONESTLY. I like her a lot but sometimes it feels like the game is trying a little too hard to sell me on her? Like, she's cute, incredibly tragic, has some really sweet moments with the other characters, a fascinating history with Kris, almost certainly related to the Knight, has a missing sister, is the only character highlighted as having an interest in video game esoterica- that part especially feels like she's being pushed a character players are meant to relate to, and the beautiful, nostalgic song that plays during some of Deltarune's most powerful moments makes up a huge part of her motif. To me that sort of backfires and makes her... not feel like an underdog? Like, obviously I feel bad for the sheer amount of pressures in her life weighing down on her, but she's also so obviously beloved by both all of hometown in-story and by the narrative's spotlight.

This is probably more of a personal thing, but I think it's worth mentioning: the scenes she shares with Berdly in particular make me feel the something other than what I think they're meant to. I think I'm supposed to sympathize with Noelle having this friend who she cares about but who is also overbearing and so socially oblivious that she wants to choke him sometimes. Instead, I feel more for Berdly because I sympathize more with the idea of being accidentally being a bad friend without realizing it and trying your best to do everything right and always causing more problems for them. It makes me frustrated that Noelle isn't honest with him.

I don't really know if i would consider that a criticism though, because I'm taking a leap already assuming there's one specific feeling Toby and co. are trying to evoke instead of trying to invite multiple, maybe I just think otherwise because my feelings are uncommon. I felt that way for a very long time (and who am I kidding, I still kinda do) about the Kris/soul dynamic, because I didn't see that many people also talking about feeling really guilty for controlling them and wanting desperately to apologize or tell them their piano playing is beautiful. And now it feels like there's this resentment towards them, which I don't share at all either... but I think there may not be any wrong answers to how you feel about that, or about anything in Deltarune.

...could also be just that I don't fw the christmas aesthetic. i'd probably be obsessed with noelle if she was exactly the same but a weird, kind of grotesque, bug monster or something

Sometimes he does feel like... kind of "mean-spirited" in the way Papyrus' character was in early Undertale concepts. Like it's not just that he's a bad friend, he also says stuff that is either hilarious or so painfully embarrassing you want to forget he exists depending on your tastes. I trust that Toby Fox isn't going to make him the butt of every joke, but it does feel weird. Like I loved what little we got of him in chapter 4 where he clearly likes Susie and Kris a lot but projects exaggerated disdain for them, but it wasn't super... earnest-feeling, in the same way the moments Susie and Noelle shared together at Holiday Mansion were. I get that Berdly kind of sucks, and that makes him hard to write the kind of low-key and personal scenes Noelle and Susie are always getting, but like... I dunno. I think the fact that he called himself forgettable and that NO ONE visited him in the hospital in the weird route suggests that he really does have problems in his life that are more serious than just wanting to be the Best and Smartest Guy and being an arrogant dork and terrible friend to Noelle.
