KEEPIN' IT CRISPY™

mildly hot take but this character design kinda sucks ass

knowing that she's a girl living in the "recycling bin" of a virtual computer world, i had the assumption that she was perhaps an unfinished thrown-away 3d model given sentience, if the suspiciously default-grid-textured torso was anything to go by. but that interesting bit of visual storytelling feels really "quiet" when trying to compete against her loud and instantly attention-grabbing hot-pink hair with big ass ahoge and... dangly star antennae... that barely tie to any of that possible visual storytelling i just mentioned beforehand. it makes her lose that feeling of "unfinishedness" i also bought up. maybe these extraneous things might've been parts of that unfinished model's full design, but that's just guesswork on what the hell all this is trying to convey. it feels entirely tacked on, like something the artist decided on a whim going "aw this is so cute i love drawing this 500 times" instead of taking the time to consider what design feature makes the most sense on her narratively and symbolically. and i mean i get it sometimes i DO add cute or fun-to-draw features to characters on a whim but the role of the character is still constantly on the back of my mind so it still kinda evens out i guess. it's fine for a beginner's oc, but this is a whole ass several-thousand-dollar indie game and a stronger protagonist design can immediately communicate what the whole game's deal is about much quicker and enhance the storytelling and all that. also the ahoge keeps competing with the star things for "dangly thing on top of character's head" real estate and it's really distracting. and why stars specifically? i mean she's got a telescope and glowing star tapestries in her house, so is astronomy really that important to her lore? that should've been potrayed a bit better than just those star dinkles

oh and side note who else found it extremely weird that the very end of the game's reveal trailer just showed off all this vograce-ass merch hovering around enticingly. what kind of normal indie game even shows off all this tacky-ass fanzine-type merch in the trailer right after the game is fucking announced

ok this is the character being laughed at in question. her name is Pipca and apparently her artist was being mocked by another artist just because Fat. this lead to the creation of the image that fuelled further mockery towards the character (and then other characters). very unfortunate situation. that's the short of it i don't feel like elaborating more

okay so i gave the crackship baby (her name is hazel btw) maybe the funniest possible nicknames for her parents

also wait... hazel... baby hazel......

i wonder why the hell deltarune is so prevalent in people's dreams compared to other games. most of my videogame related dreams (besides the pokemon ones) had some deltarune stuff in them whether i was playing a new chapter or whatever. and whenever people talk about video game dreams a lot of people will always bring up their weird deltarune dreams. some of the top results in r/thomastheplankengine are in fact also deltarune dreams. is it perhaps the hype of new chapters and the endless possibilities they may bring that's invading our deep subconscious dreamscapes???

did fern's genes even try
