so user @katyusha-the-smol on the ultrakill sub decompiled the game and found the file name for gabriel’s orange + blue wings, which apparently mean ECSTASY
which has a lot of implications for not only his post-fight cutscene
BUT ALSO HIS 2ND PHASE IN THE HERESY FIGHT?
Hot take but I don’t think “Hetero” couples in fiction are boring actually I just think they’re boring because we see the same m/f couples every single time.
Allow me to elaborate:
Usually every m/f couple we see in media consists of two conventionally attractive, young, skinny, allosexual, cishet, gender conforming, often white people. And you can always see the relationship coming a mile away.
Imagine how much better it would feel if you saw more of THESE kinds of m/f couples in media:
Fat characters involved in the relationship, and not made into a joke
Disabled characters involved in the relationship, and not made into a joke
A man happily in love with a gnc or masculine woman
A woman happily in love with a gnc or feminine man
Bisexual or pansexual men and women in love with the opposite sex (and bi for bi, Pan for Pan couples)
A man happily in love with a trans woman
A woman happily in love with a trans man
Trans for trans m/f couples
Asexual and gray-sexual people in romantic relationships and being respected in those relationships
Two middle aged people entering a new relationship, with the same attention and slow burn and tension as any young pairing (because middle aged and elder people have love lives too, and can fall in love again even if they’ve been married before!! See Kane/Abby in the 100.)
More POC x POC relationships!
A man who stays at home and takes care of kids x a working woman who isn’t criticized for not being home enough
Supportive parents to queer kids
Punk/alternative/goth m/f couples and parents (bc I just think that’s cool)
Couples who get together and then realize they’re better as friends, and have a healthy breakup while staying super close (and not creating secret drama)
Neurodivergent people involved in the relationship (adhd/autistic men and women infodumping to their supportive partner... happy stimming after a cute interaction with their crush.. it’s just so good) and not made into a joke or infantilized!
BUFF STRONK WOMAN x LIDDOL MAN VERY IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE
People who aren’t conventionally attractive in a loving relationship, and there isn’t any drama or weird side plot about “learning to love someone for what’s on the inside!!”
and so many more I could think of!!!
Just something to think on. (And remember, not all m/f couples are “hetero”. If you’re still saying “ew heteros!!” every time you see a straight couple, now is the time to stop.)

I want an entire episode of Super Giant Robot Brothers where, for some silly reason, Thunder and Shiny launch into a literal prank war with each other.
Like, Thunder and Shiny hacking into each other and making themselves say and do stupid things. Making the other look like an idiot on the news.
Just utterly harass each other and pretend like nothing's happening when Alex is around.
Alex: "What's going on here?"
Thunder and Shiny: "Nothing."
They immediately go back to glaring behind Alex's back.
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.
did some character introduction sheet thing for class. I did spamton and his character sheet looks more like a vacation pet care guide than an actual description.
"requires attention and needs to be watered every 2 days” what is he my pet gerbil
*reads your guy’s reblog tags about the "thunder hacked" post*
So ya I tried to draw and write what I had in mind about how thunder would end up getting hacked. I tried to make it stay close to the story’s lore because I pictured this happening in season two or something. I’m still not entirely sure how this would play out but I’m like 87 percent sure that I wanted Vanessa to be the only that manipulates Thunder’s system (I think she would have preferred Shiny just cause he seems more indestructible but he would have been much harder to get a hold of).
Also I would imagine that the EDF top prior would be fixing up Thunder asap so that only leaves a small open window for Vanessa to attack. I think Shiny and the rest of the crew would be busy doing like clean-up work or repairs (stuff like that) so during most of the afternoon/late night Thunder would be left by himself. (Just image creepy Thunder sneaking around the military base at the dead of night stealing information for Vanessa to use than acting normal the next day).
