@janitorsupreme imagine the storytelling that could be done with unspareable enemies that you MUST forcibly put to sleep instead of it being literally just jevil
@MagolorPicudo@blookstaton Literally had my gf look up for me if yellow hat buffed healing to see if it was worth it lol
The world heals every time a game says "buffs spells" and means all spells ❤️
@blablabla420420@ventMaxxing C!sgender is also a cia word, there are also probably more cia words that I can't think of right now
Just enough "med" term to be othering but refusing the full tooth of saying things like "sexual"... Yea ok. I Know What You Are
@joolianlee Some ppl handle movement based on relativity to other things (me) and it's basically like a "brain mode"
The bomb attack is pretty unique bc you can't just "guesstimate" where it'll be, and you can't use other markers in the environment to know where to go, it's pure calculation
@markamatony@SchnelleGazell1 sometimes this legitimately happens and it really is "in a perfect world you probably wouldn't be trans, but. well. its not a perfect world & itll probably make you happier anyways so good luck and godspeed"
@WooffleDee I think the bomb attack is basically "you're either good at it or you're not" and I don't mean that in a rude way. I mean that in a "you either have the kind of brain that can process that information quickly or you don't; there is no getting better at it"
@THESHORESMIRAGE I made "Ralsei is Mold" theory as a joke after seeing similarities with him and plantners, thought harder and figured "actually it might be adjacent to that"
I guess this is the adjacent
You can pry the phrase "Ralsei is a vast mycelial network" out if my cold, dead hands though
@Wheat856@Peko_girlboss@RenOfCosmos Me when I have to sit through over 10 years of Naoto discourse because people can't wrap their heads around the idea that even if you don't transition (or even detransition) that you can still be gender nonconforming
Like cool thanks for denying and/or disparaging my identity ig!
Ralsei constantly denies himself any control because he sees himself as the "least" out of the three, and not their equal. But he *wants* to be their equal
The whole game has themes of control; if you want, the subtext is there? But I feel this is a bit of an Occam's Razor moment
Why are we digging for subtext when there's a really basic "Flowery is giving Ralsei the chance to be the person in control that they want to be"
That drink is pretty clearly Raw Moon, Kris's "favorite" drink. Ralsei sees Kris as the leader. He wants to be like them
@dullscytheraven like, there's a pretty big difference between "optional boss being extremely difficult" and "boss you literally need to beat to progress the game being super hard"
a story boss should provide a pleasant challenge but never hardlock you idk why this escapes some people
@SincerelyValen He is mold colored. He seemingly follows different rules than other darkners - has thoughts and feelings that extend outside of "what he is," relevant for Plantners. He originated in a dank closet. He's everywhere no matter where we go. Ralsei is a vast mycelial network 2/2
@SincerelyValen After this chapter I've invented "Ralsei is Mold" theory as a shitpost but now I've gaslit myself into thinking there is a non zero chance of something adjacent
I'm just saying. I doubt "living beings given consciousness and form" means JUST plants. 1/2
@YoItsWersal Like... Ralsei yells at Flowery, who just shrugs it off. Ralsei doesn't even hurt *himself* with his own jealousy! Kris doesn't do anything being jealous of Susie & Noelle, the flowers are jealous Asgore cares more for us than them, but they don't let it hurt them too bad... Idk
@YoItsWersal For me I easily see the "inferno" of jealousy (everyone is this chapter!) but I'm not seeing any charring... Ralsei never says something so awful it genuinely hurts someone, and I wouldn't call it "an inferno" because everyone's at a low boil. It seems like *no one* truly *hurts*
@Be_like_legend Green because it is lucky and four leaf clovers are lucky and are green so green is the luck color. All lucky things are green in spirit even if they aren't physically Green. This is a universal truth
