I appreciate that Deltarune is in chapters that are replayable in parts, allowing it to spread bonus content around instead of having to jam it all in at the end.

I also like how there aren't really any leveling systems that result in you just being able to brute force things, so they can keep a tight leash on the balance instead of it being lost to the treadmill of number go up.

Confessing sins to a priest in a church is pretty uniquely a Christian thing, though I guess not necessarily Catholic.

if you're applying occam's razor all willy nilly then also Kris is not depressed or self-harming, they're just doing magic poo poo with no real world analogies, Happstablook is not experiencing body dysphoria, he doesn't even have a body, and Asgore is not a divorced man on the brink of homelessness, goats cannot get married or pay rent

the exact mores of their religion aside, the post that kicked off this line of thinking posited that Toriel would turn out to be some queerphobic cultist, which is ludicrous on its face

not in the least because she’s repeatedly shown to be not all that judgey/uptight, except for where Asgore is concerned

The wording I used was that I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that was the twist with her character.

EDIT: VVV editting posters of gay couples to separate them, and pushing for rules at the school dance seems a little bit uptight to me~ I really don't think it's crazy to think she might not be entirely supportive and conflict free. Maybe not whatever stupid hyperbolic statement you choose to insert in my mouth, though!

My point is that you're a real arsehole when it comes to people with reads on videogames you don't completely agree with. It's not enough that you don't agree, you have to crush them, don't you?

I'm pretty sure Toriel is meant to be a kinder/nicer take on the Suburban Religious Mom: she's strict but not that much, she's religious, and the whole making sure teens don't end up in decadence is typical of the archetype. I doubt Toby Fox is gonna make her an queerphobe since that would go sour with a lot of people and she has more interesting avenues such as her clear love for Kris but being incapable of connecting with him, her favoritism towards Asriel and whatever the deal is with Asgore.

The secret is that it's not important whether the opinions are good or not, what matters is whether the conversations are miserable or fun.

I mean, maybe, but stories like say EEAAO have given us characters who are queerphobic who are likeable nevertheless, and for whom getting over those hangups could be a good moment. But it's fair that yeah, I'm not really saying anything more than my personal feelings about this. For whatever reason DR Toriel feels much less warm a character than UT Toriel. Does no one else feel that?

I wonder if the characters will have different reactions to the friendship teas if you use them after chapter two and if they'll heal for more or less

Imagine if we get the chance to see Catti's reaction to all four teas, that alone would be worth the price of the upcoming chapters
