Something I really like about Deltarune's Snowgrave run vs Undertale's genocide run is the fact that the Snowgrave run has a more psychological aspect, while I think Toby's mentioned he deliberately made Undertale's genocide run boring so it'd be less appealing. Like Undertale's genocide run is absolutely eerie, but it's also not really interesting.

Deltarune's Snowgrave run isn't just eerie, I genuinely think an argument could be made for it being psychological horror. Remember, Kris isn't the one giving Noelle orders. The player is. This is evidenced by multiple bits of dialogue from Noelle in the game, as well as Kris's behavior frankly.

I decided to play a Snowgrave run and as someone who's been manipulated and abused, playing a Snowgrave run myself instead of just watching someone else play it is one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had (not necessarily in a bad way though, the fact that Toby managed to achieve that is astonishing). Through dialogue and visuals, it's made clear in both chapters that Kris isn't in control of their actions, the player is. It's why playing a Snowgrave run is one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had. Because we're controlling Kris's actions, we're also the ones technically manipulating Noelle, but using Kris as a vessel for it.

Undertale doesn't make a distinction like this, which doesn't just make it not as much of a mindfuck but also means it's not as horrifying unless you overanalyze Undertale. On a surface level, Undertale's genocide run is basically just a regular, less interesting game that includes murder. You don't know these characters (unless of course you've played Undertale before) and killing all of them means that while they are living in fear, it's not for an extended period of time. In Deltarune, you're using Kris as a vessel to tell Kris's friend to freeze people, then kill one of her friends (whether Berdly is permanently dead or not is something we likely won't know until chapter 3, but in the Dark World at least, he's definitely dead, as Snowgrave is fatal).

It's not even that I hate that the Snowgrave run exists; it's great analysis material and adds a great alternate storyline. But dear lord, as someone who's been on the receiving end of abuse and manipulation, it's horrific.

Noelle is ABSOLUTELY traumatized from the entire ordeal

It's very possible that Kris is also traumatized from the Snowgrave route; it's (no so subtly) implied that Kris's soul is what allows us to control them and they rip it out of their chest at the end of both chapters. Kris knows they're not in control of their actions when they have their soul. Can you imagine how traumatizing it was for them to be controlled into doing something they probably didn't want to do? (It's also worth noting that the "Kris is just a vessel for the player" thing was clear as early as the character creation stage of chapter 1, as the character you're told to create is referred to as a "vessel")

Susie's probably traumatized. Seeing Noelle as upset as she is? Hearing her recount everything like it's implied (and who knows if Noelle mentioned Kris or the "terrifying voice" to her)? Hell, she even says "Somehow, it doesn't feel like we just saved the world..." at the end of a Snowgrave run.

Queen being sad that nobody's around is heartbreaking frankly.

You can't tell me Ralsei doesn't know something happened because of a severe lack of recruits. Similarly, you can't convince me that wouldn't be traumatizing for him.

There's definitely more but I'm tired

Conclusion: Deltarune's Snowgrave route is a psychological horror game and nothing will change my mind

#deltarune #deltarune analysis #deltarune snowgrave #toby fox is too good at making games. hes too powerful someone stop him #ALSO AN ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE FOR KRIS HIDING BERDLY IN THE CLOSET OF THE LIBRARY'S COMPUTER LAB???????????#when you inspect the closet it says 'A large person could easily fit inside' and kris cleans everything up before leaving the lab #i know it could just be something toby decided to add #but also i wouldn't be surprised if its setting up for the next chapter #tw abuse #tw manipulation

Notes: These are her summer clothes.

#finn's ocs #finn's art #oc references #YAY finally posted them #the smart guys set....#i was excited for this set regardless bc they all have their own like specific reasons theyre in the scholars guild #like different things theyre following. except for arguably talitha but shes like. a baby #shes more geeky than nerdy. but she would hang out in their huge library a lot and just sort of ended up joining #mercury herself is obviously the leader but her thing is moreso about spreading the message of the previous guildmaster (minerva)#while keid is more of a philosopher (so good at rumination might as well make a passion of it lol)#and like i said alasia is an archeologist (and historian!). and i describe navi as a blacksmith bc thats the title theyd be given-#but hes more of an engineer. doing cool new innovative things. so they and alasia have this sort of future/past passion thing #dimidium is a medic lol but bc of the way her power works its a bit more complicated #when i say reverse healing i mean he can literally just make you worse. Injury Power.#misam is like the edgiest of the batch for sure but dont be fooled theyre still more nerd than edgelord #the reason they can be so ruthless is because theyre very calculative about their choices #not in the same overthinking-type way keid is but in the sense that they can be a bit... ends justify the means?#not that they dont care about ethics at all but unlike keid they wouldnt get caught up in them #the most direct approach is the best one and all that. theyre a utilitarian.#(misams top was also more risque at first but i decided to have them button up a bit lol)#and perwana is an acolyte (aco-light. lol) in the sense that her goal really is just to spread knowledge #shes the most similar to mercury in that sense which makes her probably the first candidate for the next guildmaster rn #bc thats also the thesis statement of the guild itself!#they have a big open library for a reason. well. mostly open #but thats them :)

SCU: college major edition

splitting my answers up for this one for time management but part one: the world's most different students ever <3 tbh I know in my heart one is a comp sci major and one is animal sciences but I cannot decide which is which

#bizlychannel #grizzlyplays #slimecicle cinematic universe #modoodle #see I can't decide if I should go based on their likes (which would have grizz as animal sci and biz as comp sci)#or to go based on their godly powers which I would interpret as the flip yknow?#grizz makes tools bizly works with animals kinda #either way grizz is super studious and bizly hardly shows up for class but you knowww they go to the library together every day

wild to me how the english translation of natsume is just. largely out of print i guess?? like half of the volumes you can't get ANYWHERE for love nor money, not even on amazon (unhallowed be its name)! i've found like five sites that sell print volumes and they've all got the same selection (vols 1, 2, 17, 19, 27-29, sometimes 24-26) and if you want any others you are SOL. though what's interesting is i'm pretty sure last time i looked it up a few months ago, you couldn't get volume 17 anywhere either. did they do a print run just of that volume?? total mystery.

#and then amazon does have a handful of volumes you can't get anywhere else (used) but they're selling for $40 to HUNDREDS #OF DOLLARS??? the volume with yorishima's intro is going for $251 😭#i went so far as to look up the french translation and of course THEY are all in print and selling for 8 euros. i'll be real. i am tempted #it's nice that i can read volumes online but i really want to read them in bed before i fall asleep and i just cannot do that w e-versions #i guess i'll just check back in every few months to see if they've decided to go back and reprint any old volumes idk #and probably go back to checking them all out at the library. but the thing is the urge strikes me suddenly and i want to read them #immediately #this is such a non-problem i'm just. surprised i guess? i understand this isn't a hugely in demand series but it is #still running...and they're making a new season of the anime...idk idk i just expected it to be more accessible #take my money viz media!!!#natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #i love it when my body decides to kill me #i took painkillers afterwards which helped #but the ride itself was about nine hours and for a good half or more of it i had a headache #so that was decidedly not fun #but i lived so i have that going for me #anyways binah kisses make everything better

to me the funniest thing about making a warrior cats ultrakill au is that you don't really have to change a lot to make the characters and story fit into the warrior cats universe. being able to enter cat hell without dying was literally a major plot point for one of the arcs, so having some random kitty go and fuck shit up over there is totally believable as far as im aware.

#ramblings #ultrakill #warrior cats #yes im tagging both #this is vaguely inspired by a random tag game that said to ''combine your first real fandom with your most recent one to make a horrible AU #and here we are #before you read this i feel the need to point out that i only ever read the first 3 books bc that was all my library had #im mostly stuck on what to do with the whole council in heaven and god is dead/has abandoned us thing #i guess maybe starclan is no longer communicating with the clans or something. so a bunch of cats claiming to have a strong connection with #them decide that they'll fall in for starclan and order kitty gabe around to ''take care'' of cats that dont agree with them #then enter some rogue cat v1 that either figured out how to enter cat hell or is just causing problems on purpose #my headphones died and i was an hour long bike ride away from home ok. i had time to kill.#im not drawing this i just need to get my brainworms out. dusting off the good ol brain cave and what not

when will flaming teensy and teensy queen be featured in the raywrittenverse? i think flaming teensy makes too many katsuki bakugo references often lol

Funny you say that! I've drawn them and many other Teensies. There's actually a lot of characters I haven't shown off yet lol.

(many pictures below)

#I'M SO MAD #I had an entire page dedicated to the grand minimuses but I lost the sketchbook most of these drawings are in #this is my library of alexandria #also yes!! those are Ales's clones from Legends. I decided to make them way more interesting #and I also completely reworked gonzo/art ritis for. reasons that I hope are obvious #raywritten #rayman teensies #rayman

Meet Antonio Salieri

Picrew | Picrew does not belong to me

Antonio Salieri

The ‘poisoner’ of Mozart. Antonio is reserved, and cunning, and will do about anything ti make sure he gets his way. Mozart avoids him at all costs. Smells like almonds. Aloof cat, not outright mean, but not friendly. - My OG notes about him but I heavily revised this.

He rolls his eyes at people who insist he’s a poisoner, and also does not appreciate that a syndrome was coined after his name; Salieri syndrome, a person in power who appears to be helping, but is only subverting their success. But he pays them no mind, and continues with his business. “Be careful with him, don’t you smell the almonds? That’s cyanide dear.” No, no it’s not, he was just baking earlier.

He lives in a modest apartment above a bakery which he owns. He does the odd performance now and then, but years of trying for fame has taken a toll on his passion for performing music.

Voice Claim; Kaname Futaba

Birthday; August 18

Height; 176 cm

Occupation; Composer, teacher, and director of the Italian opera

Hobbies; Playing violin and baking

Dislikes; Liars

Specialty; Playing the harpsichord

Weakness; Creative block

Favourite food; Almond thumbprint cookies

Hated food; Grapefruit

Vampire Type; Lesser vampire

Animal Companion; an African grey parrot named Gluck

Some History [wikipedia again; lots of info so I condensed it]

He was taught how to play music by his older brother, Francesco and ran away from home on two occasions so he could hear his older brother play in festivals. Antonio was once reprimanded by his father because he didn’t pay the proper respect to a priest, and Antonio’s reasoning for this is that the priest’s organ playing displeased him. He does not remember much of his childhood save for his love of reading, music, and sugar.

He quickly rose into the opera scene, and his works pushed against traditional opera styles, and added his own style into them. His works were mainly inspired by classic literature and dramas. His first large success in the opera sphere was with his Armida which featured a conflict of love and duty, steeped with magic, and set during the First Crusade. Many of his operas were either large successes or raised little attention.

When Joseph II came into power, Salieri slipped out of the spotlight, as all operas were to be in German, a language that he had truly never mastered. He did find success in the Parisian opera scene with his Les Danaïdes, inspired by the ancient Greek tragedy writer Aeschylus’s The Suppliants. It was so successful that it was kept on the opera scene in Paris for over forty years.

As for the ‘poisoner of Mozart’ title, there is no hard evidence that Antonio murdered Mozart, and the two were most likely respectful of each other. But he has no time for rumours and rolls his eyes at them.

Present

He is cunning, but also painfully honest as he cannot stand lies. He does try his best to achieve his goals, but unfortunately, his work is either a success or never takes off, which disheartens him. At least people seem to enjoy his baking. He and Mozart don't really talk and tend to avoid each other, but Salieri at least gives him a polite nod whenever he sees the other musician out and about. He seems aloof at first, but when he trusts you he becomes a tad warmer and teases you... but he doesn't realize it's teasing.

Tagging; @azulashengrottospiano

#ikevamp oc #antonio salieri #ikemen vampire oc #antonio is honestly the most sane option out of the ikevamp ocs i got #he can play you music; bake for you; call you italian pet names; also has a large library in his apartment #i decided to make him malewife/bbg material; you're welcome #bro will infodump about his interests if you give him the go ahead #aloof cat is secretly very sweet #looks at his partner like they hung the moon and stars #your move auburn #also a TWST VA but this time jamil's so he can also sing

I love when I read a book *after* seeing an adaptation and it gives me a new appreciation for the adaptation. Season one of The Expanse follows the plot and major scenes of Leviathan Wakes remarkably closely, and the characters are exactly the same. I’m replaying scenes from the show in my mind. Conversations that weren’t in the show still read in the actors’ voices. I swear I recognized some dialogue. And the changes I did notice (such as where Miller finds Julie Mao in the end, and how the dead man’s switch comes in) made complete sense in smoothing over the transition from page to screen. Fuck Amazon and all that, but the writers and showrunnners of that show should be lauded for their attention and dedication to the source material.

I’m interested to see how that holds up in the rest of the series. I know that the actor playing Alex Kamal left the show for reasons unrelated to the character’s original arc, and I think I know that the books go on longer than the show, so I have a feeling eventually the two will split, but I’m hoping to meet a few more favorite characters before that happens :)

(other books I've read this year)

#mine #personal #the expanse #leviathan wakes #my book log #<<<I said in another post I would make a point of talking about books I read on here #needed a tag for that. might change if I think of something better lol #I put holds on the next two in the series at the library #it’s probably too much to hope that the next one is on hand at my branch and will be ready for pickup Saturday morning before work #but I’m crossing my fingers for it #I’m gonna be honest I understand less of the belter dialect than I was hoping for #in the show it had a lot of what probably was French creole?#and I took French for a long time so I could sometimes recognize sort of the root of enough words to pick it out #which was very fun for me #but there’s more going on in the book. more languages mixed in and also idioms and stuff #and also less of it spoken that we see so fewer chances for me to happen to decide something #and I’m not actually very good at languages lol so it’s not like I’m going to pick it up #but it’s fun to pretend #2023 reading list
