The fact we all trust Toby enough to download a .exe and agree to the user license that says “you accept everything that will happen from now on” is absolutely brilliant
Undertale fans who never read homestuck: Oh man, Toby mixed chess and playing card aesthetics in Deltarune, that’s so neat!
Homestuck fans:
Hey do y’all know that playing card and chess motifs existed for several hundred years before homestuck. I want to make sure that you know this because it’s very important to me that you know this.
I think you’ll find the first recorded work of English language literature is Homestuck, thanks though
Listen my dude, any other game, yeah, we wouldn’t assume Homestuck
But made by Toby Fox?
“I composed literally hundreds of tracks for Homestuck” Toby Fox?
“I made Undertale in Andrew Hussie’s basement” Toby Fox?
“There is a poster of my trollsona in the Homestuck game” Toby Fox?
“Undertale already has a bunch of Homestuck references in it” Toby Fox?
i can say i’m not that invested in homestuck anymore all i want but the truth is, you either have never been a homestuck or are a homestuck, there is no undoing what has been done.
you think you’re a free man but then you play deltarune and suddenly your homestuck brain awakes from its fake slumber and as it points out to you that toby fox just made a spades bucket joke, you know from the very depths of your soul that you can never be free.
the idea that UNDERTALE, one of the biggest games in recent memory, might have just been a setup for the TRUE game of deltarune is absolutely fucking me up. for literal YEARS people have been trying to make sense of gaster and his followers –
nobody could agree on what this stuff really meant….. but then you look at them in the context of deltarune and some of the pieces start to come together. that’s absolutely crazy dude. there was no discernable reason for these things to be in undertale because they didn’t BELONG in undertale, they belonged in DELTARUNE
did the name undertale even come first, or is undertale an anagram of delta rune to begin with? honestly fuck you toby fox
