Imagine expecting the guy who wrote an mpreg Homestuck song to have writing that’s 100% serious all the time when his games have never been that.
I know it’s probably because I’m older than the average vocal Deltarune fan, but it’s so funny how opposite I feel about Deltarune when I see takes like this.
I actually prefer the lighthearted parts over the darker parts. I am so, so burnt out on the barrage of self-serious writing flooding the media landscape at the moment. Not everything has to be some deep humorless mysterybox about trauma 100% of the time. I mean, yeah, the game obviously has some pretty serious story elements but if it was only that it would be god awful. The humor balances it out.
If anything, the world needs this 2010s tumblr ass silliness at the moment and I find it to be a breath of fresh air against how performatively mature and dark a lot of writing for stuff is at the moment.
Yeah honestly same, this is a weird take for me too, I’m near the end of Chapter 5, probably in what is the last fight where I’m getting my ass handed to me yet again, but so far I loved it, specially how queer it is, it feels like a genuine celebration of queerness to have this released on Pride Month.
So far I found myself laughing or chuckling a lot during the chapter, loved the characters, the setting, the music, everything so far.
absolutely, i love it to pieces, it’s like a gay layer cake with a thick slab of wholesome yuri as a foundation for a ton of toxic yaoi with a filling of wholesome yaoi with a glazing in trans colors and a ton of rainbow sprinkles on top
