Trying To Fall Asleep In Summer Is Much Like The Dilemma Described In Katy Perry’s Hit Song Hot N Cold

A comic about the Dark World that makes you Old

cooked too hard talking about how fun transfem asriel could be so im taking a rare moment to post it to the tumblr followers lol

[Image Description: A discord screenshot. The text reads as follows:

something i think a lot about for deltarune SPECIFICALLY is how societal expectations, narrative roles, hierarchial positionings, and the metanarrative interactions by the player are all often rolled together and depicted overwhelmingly as a shackle for its characters

even seemingly positive ones like "smart kid" "prince of the darkness" or "nice girl in town" are ideas that constrain the people they're placed upon

in that context, i cannot IMAGINE asriel having a positive relationship with his role as idolized golden child in deltarune

I don't think he wears it well. this isn't the sort of story where people can wear that kind of overwhelming weight well

especially considering how asriel is the offscreen apex of all of those conditions I mentioned. both in universe and out, his mere existence is charged with this gigantic significance

so yeah, I think theres no way asriel makes it out of this as "pure uncomplicated good golden boy who everyone loves." something has to crack somewhere and i think one of those cracks could be asriels fucking egg LMAO. Estrogen Will Save Her

Bro you got the whole squad feeling remorseful that, even after being given mercy, you chose to stick to your cruel ways and ended up being your own downfall.
