Half the art Hobart makes is machines, and a quarter just characters, but put the machines and characters in a setting and you get stuff that looks like travel art for a railroad in Iceland or the Mediterranean.

Which, well, that's basically the core conceit of Hobart's Vekllei setting. A globe-spanning country stitched together by nuclear-powered slow boats, hydroplanes, nuclear-thermal planes and ekranoplans, electrified trains, bicycles, and a post-scarcity post-capitalism economy that only has money at the edges.

As portrayed by a web designer with a fetish for the CIA World Factbook (rip), NATO-posting, Ghibli films, architecture, and '50s-'60s attire.

⚠️BIG FAT SPOILER WARNING FOR CHAPTER 5⚠️

Flowery is a thousand percent trying to invoke the image of Rudy.

His smiling sprite and hairstyle are similar (though the hair is going in the opposite direction)

Claims to be Asgore's college roommate and best friend, a role that is VERY Rudy-specific

Calls him Gorey, something which we know Rudy called him from Asgore quoting him in the undertale alarm clock dialogue

And generally has the same body shape, a thing which i found most apparent viewing their sprites from the back.

The Breadcrumb Glitch is a glitch in mother 1 where you can use the ripped girl, Pippi, to perform a glitch using an item called Breadcrumbs.

It gets you out of bounds in an area that looks like this:

which looks almost exactly like the evil place you can see from the Forgotten Island.

and using the Breadcrumb Glitch in Mother 1 you can skip a large portion of the game.

you will recognize this reference in this context as being evil evil evil evil FUCKING evil

Kris is genuinely fucked if 1. Undertale rules for the soul still apply in Deltarune - that is, a human will flat-out die without a soul, 2. the Player SOUL needs to connect with the Player to exist and 3. their original soul is nowhere to be found.

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia.  This is their flag:

The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australia’s legal stance against same-sex marriage.

Here are some of their stamps:

They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.

they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.

everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.

As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation

“On the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!”

The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub

War was declared on Australia in September 2004

The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 “with the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternity”

They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they weren’t actually trying to be a sovereign nation)

In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a “hostile nation” being flown
