Undertale

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

Its always fascinating looking back on UT and seeing the differences between the fans then vs the fans now.
Is it just me or has the output of the community changed since then? People were so eager to make stupid OC's, or fan comics, or stuff like that in general. I liked engaging with that stuff. Not all of it landed, but every now and then you get some interesting concept and execution. it was fun seeing what people could come up with.
Now it feels like the stuff thats made the most are theory videos and hour-long dissertations on kris's nonbinary status. its retarded. Am I just missing everything interesting here?

my nigga are we browsing the same thread? have you missed the shovel heaps of oc animations, doe rape and bergentruckung memes that have been pure gems?

Other than the memes, think of anything. Something that stands on its own merits and not just haha asgore truck or something along the lines of that.
Noelle getting cucked is funny. And the output is there too, but frankly I don't think it's anywhere near the level it was with undertale as a whole and it's also way more infested with pronoun shit. Its like navigating a landmine trying to find stuff that isn't "UwU gay furfag".

Its an incomplete story with shit we still don't understand and the Undertale fandom is fucking ancient. Undertale also came out at the absolute height of websites like Tumblr where cringy shit like multiverse AU fandom spaces and skeleton OCs were like the popularity meta. That does not exist anymore.

Theres still a massive amount of unique content. Not sure what more you need. We may even see more when the whole story comes to conclusion and people can examine the game as a complete package.

Right now, imagine if Undertale stopped at the Undyne fight. People loved Sans as their special Blorbo because of what we learned about him in genocide. There's still not a whole lot to work with in Deltarune.

Yup, that's it. Fujoshits and their muh headcanon are cancer to all fandoms online

Canonically Tenna wanted to know Spamton's secret to becoming a big shot, but before Spamton could come to his office he got the phone call and dipped, Tenna takes Spamton's flight as betrayal but still keeps the pipis he got as a gift from him.

Hard to let someone in on a deal that was only meant for your ears.

Interesting thing I saw people talking about how Lord of the Hammer and Lord of the Rings are supposed to imply Gerson and Tolkien are similar. They both created works with heavy religious themes. This led me down a rabbithole with what Tolkien would call "Sub-creation" and how it relates to creation and world building and I think its especially pertinent to Deltarune.

It's hard to tl;dr it so do your own research but basically.
Sub-creation is the philosophy that Tolkien had that puts God as the creator of everything, and we are just "Sub-creators" or "little makers". Our desire to create is a product of being made in the image of the Creator that created us, who liked to create, so naturally, we do too. While God is all powerful and creates from nothing, we create within the bounds of the world that God has given us using our experiences and imagination. By creating complex and well crafted worlds a "little maker" can reflect God in a way that brings joy, meaning, and reprieve from the harsh reality of the "Primary World". In some cases they can create things that God didn't when he created the "Primary World", thus creating things that would normally be considered impossible. Though, Tolkien emphasizes the original creator as the one to be revered above all, and sub-creators shouldn't assume divinity, or place their creation on the same level as God's, merely reflecting a part of his ability to create. Tolkien felt that creation was the purest form of expressing free will.

Very interesting to think about with the idea that the prophecy is rewritten multiple times, and Gerson being an author that seems to reflect a similar idea, based on a series with a similar sounding name. It also checks out with the idea of creation, derivation, and perception being a heavy theme of Deltarune. Also the implications with the relationships between lightners and darkners.

Shoutouts to the Youtuber that ends up plagiarizing my post, because I basically wrote a whole fucking video for you.

I find interesting you have thought about such. Yet for Troonby, who has a very "mystical" view of religion - liberal even, wouldn't seem like he would have a respectable approach to it. At best it would be a lip service akin to "Oh hey look it is a Demiurge figure or a God figure that created something, and there is a 'story within a story' and isn't this funny?".
