it all goes back and back

previous thread for undertale and chapter 1+2

right now kris is having a lot of fun being back in the dark world because it's an adventure for her.

chapter 3 was v fun. i feel like the story is just going to ramp up from here. a lot of time spent on tenna and what it means to spend your time in a nostalgia of the past, chasing the glory days that will never come back.

after chapter 3 deltarune is firmly a work of children's literature (positive) for me now, in how it spends a lot of time paying attention to what it means to be a kid growing up, the uncertainty of school and fitting in with peers, the growing pains associated with being too old for certain fantasies while still looking back to them for comfort, and the strangeness of looking back at your childhood while still being a child.

That being said, I think that the reader who conceives of Brienne as physically beautiful to them is constructing a reading of her character which ignores the point, that Brienne is a worthy and honorable person regardless of her physical appearance. The point is not that beauty somehow isn't a material reality, the point is that it shouldn't be. That doesn't mean that Brienne is ontologically unattractive: within the story, Jaime is actively attracted to Brienne. But it does mean that a Brienne who is perceived as simply unconventionally beautiful instead of ugly by most every beauty standard seems, to me, to be missing the point.
