Btw if I say things like “by god” or “good lord” in posts please be aware I don’t mean it in a catholic way I mean it in a 1950s scientist reacting in horror after they create an evil creature in the lab set in the distant future year of 2005
This is Toby Fox’s website and we’re just living on it. For more than seven years, his games have cast a spell on Tumblr, stealing the hearts of fans with their winning combination of storytelling, innovative gameplay, and characters filled with heart and determination. Our first look at Toby’s world of monsters and humans came in 2015 when Undertale was released. We learned the meaning of mercy and that while talking through conflict might not be the easiest path, it’s always the right one. When the first chapter of Deltarune came out in 2018, absolute chaos ensued. We met Kris, Susie, and Ralsei and set off on a brand new adventure where you fell in love with the Undertale universe all over again.
The second chapter came as a complete surprise and was one of the best gifts Tumblr received in the past year. You immediately latched onto the continuation of some of the best lore in gaming and memed the living heck out of it. You also spammed our dashes with a tiny little man in pink and yellow sunglasses—so much so that he ended up becoming the #1 video game character on all of Tumblr this year. Spamton had a chance to become a [[big shot!]] and, boy, did he take it.
And he wasn’t the only new character Deltarune threw into the mix. As a game with a combat system based almost entirely (if you’re playing correctly) on social interactions, its characters are key. They’re relatable and make you want to root for them. Even, and often especially, for the bad guys. We can almost hear you yelling, “I can fix him!” into the void, and we believe you! Remember that one time you talked about the Deltarune villain, Queen, so much you skewed the tag data for one of the biggest bands of all time and the actual Queen of England? We sure do. And when Noelle Holiday joined the party, your team was finally complete.
This year marked the first anniversary of Deltarune’s second chapter, and you celebrated with every post type Tumblr has to offer. You survived the Tumblr Sexyman poll and the Spamton Sweepstakes, and for that, you all deserve the shiniest gold ribbon.
All of this to say that Toby Fox wins Tumblr. Undertale, for Tumblr, was a total cultural reset, and its impact is still felt even seven years later. It first appeared on our weekly video games list way back on September 21, 2015, just days after the game’s release—and it has been on every single list but one since then. So we’ve always known that Deltarune would find a loving home on Tumblr, and it truly has been so loved.

I just watched Super Giant Robot Brothers on Netflix (great show, please watch it [well if you’re seeing this you probably did watch, but just in case, please check it out it’s awesome!]).
Anyway, after watching it and going on Tumbler to see what’s happening here with it, i’ve come here to do a bit of a brain dump on an idea I have.
Like what most people on Tumbler do.
So this is kind of an idea that I think would make a great episode or fanfic.
Ok, we all agree the Thunder is smart. Like insanely, right? That is a fact. (I know he’s a robot just roll with me.)
But then I remembered a fact about smart people. The thing is, people with higher intelligence have a harder time doing new things because they’re so used to things being easy for them that when something starts to challenge them they get frustrated and stop doing it. (I think this is mainly towards doing creative things, but I could be wrong don’t quote me on that.)
Because of that, I thought it would be a funny idea if Thunder tries to pick up something new, I don’t know what you can pick whatever you want, and him getting frustrated over the fact that he can’t do it.
And to rub a bit of salt into the wound, let’s make it so that Shiny can do the thing.
Just have Thunder trying so hard to do something but sucking at it while Shiny being amazing at it.
And we all know that the second Shiny finds out he’s better at something than Thunder, he can and will poke fun of Thunder for it. Just Shiny’s normal teasing that drives Thunder up the wall.
To the point where he says he thinks the activity in question is stupid and he doesn’t want to do it anymore, when in reality he’s just doing it by himself in the dead of night to get better at it and show up Shiny.
You know, just plain simple sibling rivalry and jealousy.
Bonus if Shiny realizes that Thunder is really struggling with this or he catching Thunder late at night and decides to help him out with it.
