I Cant Wait To See Asriel And He Acts Just Like Flowey - Tumblr Posts

cooked too hard talking about how fun transfem asriel could be so im taking a rare moment to post it to the tumblr followers lol

[Image Description: A discord screenshot. The text reads as follows:
something i think a lot about for deltarune SPECIFICALLY is how societal expectations, narrative roles, hierarchial positionings, and the metanarrative interactions by the player are all often rolled together and depicted overwhelmingly as a shackle for its characters
even seemingly positive ones like "smart kid" "prince of the darkness" or "nice girl in town" are ideas that constrain the people they're placed upon
in that context, i cannot IMAGINE asriel having a positive relationship with his role as idolized golden child in deltarune
I don't think he wears it well. this isn't the sort of story where people can wear that kind of overwhelming weight well
especially considering how asriel is the offscreen apex of all of those conditions I mentioned. both in universe and out, his mere existence is charged with this gigantic significance
so yeah, I think theres no way asriel makes it out of this as "pure uncomplicated good golden boy who everyone loves." something has to crack somewhere and i think one of those cracks could be asriels fucking egg LMAO. Estrogen Will Save Her
