Deltarune niggas was tryin they hardest to get me to hate toriel in ch 4 and i boot up 5 for the first time and see that cutie patootie snug as a bug in rug like nigga fuck u dont ever talk her down again
my favorite part of playing deltarune is just playing the most basic straightforward route to experience the story
then watch as the other more dedicated fans find the secrets instead
I will say, without getting into spoilers, this chapter DOES NOT WORK if it happened before ch 4.
Ralsei is being way more open about things after being grilled in the church by Susie. Susie herself is cursed with knowledge of the prophecy. It also looks back on their arcs -
I feel like there's a disconnect between me and other Deltarune fans because I'm more interested in how the characters interface with the themes of the game than the lore or every chapter being a heavy immediate progression to the overarching narrative.
I think the one big negative point I have abt chapter 5 is that asgore kinda got shafted. Not in a "oH hE dIdNt HaVe AuRa!!" way but like it feels like he had character development that was offscreen
Filler in a story is not "a slower paced stretch where there aren't huge plot beats or a lot of reveals", filler is "the guys making a shonen anime are scared of catching up to the source so they make up a story about the characters learning how to drive or fighting dinosaurs"
Finished chapter 5 only to be exposed to opinions of children who need hype moments and aura every 5 seconds or its the worst thing in history of deltarune
