This is a comic exploring some ideas I've had for what comes after Deltarune chapter 4! It will, of course, contain massive spoilers for all of Deltarune, so viewer discretion advised and all that. I'll add links here to all parts as they come out for convenience. Thanks for reading!

Part 1: 1 | 2 | 3

animated the "It's okay not to smile" scene from chapter 4

At last we settle in to think about Le Guin’s "Omelas" story and set aside some common approaches to it. The first of several parts.

the sillies <3 in an even sillier comic

as always, i wanted the rendering to be really simple cos its such a dumb comic but here we are lol i do really like the rendering tho, especially in the first page

⬇️⬇️ reference and stuff that got covered by the text/effects

☽ Sometimes “writer’s block” is actually just your story being broken and your brain knowing before you do. Respect the vibes, go back. Something stinks.

☽ If you’re stuck in the middle, skip to the part you’re excited to write. Chronological writing is a suggestion, not a law.

☽ “Kill your darlings” is not about deleting every cool thing you love. It’s about not hoarding scenes like a dragon with dialogue you wrote in 2017 that doesn’t even make sense anymore.

☽ You do not need to write like your favorite author. You need to write like you, caffeinated and slightly unstable.

☽ Talking to yourself in the mirror as your character is not weird. It’s called method writing. You’re not unhinged, you’re dedicated.

☽ Aesthetic Pinterest boards and playlists are writing progress if they make you feel like a god again.

☽ You can write the climax before you finish Act 1. You can rewrite Chapter 1 thirty times and then delete it anyway. You’re not behind, you’re in hell with the rest of us.

You’re allowed to write stuff that’s not “marketable.” You’re allowed to be weird. Write the story that would make you feel seen. The niche finds its freaks.
