THE FLESH IS LIVING BUT THE SOUL HAS SPOILED

I think it's interesting how you can see in deltarune a sort of portrayal of how kids in the past 30 or so years are often brought up relying on technology for comfort and emotional regulation in place of their family. Tenna and Queen are a TV and a computer and all they want is to make Kris and Noelle, two very damaged kids with actively bad home lives, happy. They see it as their purpose, or part of their purpose, but they can never truly satisfy Kris and Noelle's needs because children won't develop nearly as well emotionally through watching a screen as they do with genuine connection and communication and attention paid to their lives. That's not something Tenna and Queen are really capable of understanding, but they still build entire worlds and activities for their lightners. It's all very "playing video games while your parents fight in the kitchen"

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.
