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.
Tobias fox when he says in a newsletter that he wants this chapter to come off as more upbeat and energetic before the grand climax (before the sun comes down both literally and narratively).
People just complain because they marathoned this chapter in a day or less just so they can participate in fandom circlejerk (I did too but I see that as something that as something that colors my experience rather than objectifies it)
GLUE!
