I wasn't aware there was a new Deltarune; you could be right! Autists don't like change, even in the best of circumstances, and Ernie's already shown how distressing he feels violations to the "CWCville Canon timeline" are to him.At first glance it's funny that a guy who is #plural and all his #headmates are coincidentally #video_game characters is telling people "I AM TRAUMATIZED BY GAMES." But I guess it makes sense that he feels more strongly about video games--this sense that if he doesn't play the same ones as his friends he's letting them down--because of that. He can't just enjoy something; he has to fold it into his personal gnosis (as the kids say).
I think it's a lot of things coming to a head. Ernest got booted (?) from Bluesky when enough people got tired of his behavior, which is of course completely justified and reasonable behavior from his standpoint. There's something in that tirade about his "wife and metamour" which sounds like RL friction, reasonable in any relationship and more likely if your troon wife is pissy about social media drama.
...and again, the new chapter of Deltarune just came out. Still wondering if he's afraid to play that because it might change hischaracters'headmates' canon. Acquaintances might be asking him if he's played it, because c'mon it's his whole personal brand, but what they think is small talk is deeply distressing to Ernest. This could be why "Frisk" is complaining about seeing more of "Chara's" friends in the last few days, and not liking how chatty and horny they are.
A lot of Otherkin psychos just brush it off - I'm thinking like Jin, and how "Twilight Sparkle" stopped being "real" on the MLP TV show after she moved into his closet and started her exciting new career as Jin's personal horse-shaped fuck toilet. But this could be Ernie's way of letting us know that, as much as he WANTS to play vidya, he's worried he'll throw a fit if some of the characters turn out to be different than what he expected.
(still not sure how this fits in with Morrowind trauma, though? afaik I've never seen him mention any Morrowind headmates, or even Morrowind head-house-guests. Also, the current trending Elder Scrolls is the remaster of Oblivion, not Morrowind, so if there's any talk of Ernie replaying it, it'll have to be the original version, not a newfangled version that fucks stuff up for him. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, GUY WHO VOICED THE RACIST ARGONIAN COMEDIAN IN OBLIVION REMASTER)
