i think if kaname madoka worked a retail job the first time she had to sell cigarettes to somebody would cause her to have a mental breakdown and spend 30 minutes crying in the bathroom and blaming herself for the customer's death.

i think if akemi homura saw a malfunctioning vending machine with a notice stuck to it cutely anthropomorphising its problem ("please be patient with me; i've been feeling tired lately!" etc) she would start crying.

i think tomoe mami regularly posts on various tea and bakery subreddits to share the things she makes but she approaches them far too candidly and doesn't make anything sensational or own a ring light so her pictures all look kind of bad and never get popular. but if she gets a single nice comment it puts her in a great mood for the entire day afterwards and she starts trying to talk to homura about her "internet fame."

honestly it does kind of disgust me that so many people care so much about spamton when rouxls is right there. if you're going to fixate on a male character in a work overwhelmingly about girls and women and nonbinary please at least have better taste about it.

akemi homura and kris are similar characters in that they both love a girl they simultaneously admire and believe is too good for them but also resent for being (in their view) too perfect so the only way they can express their feelings for her is to alternate between utter self-abnegation to ensure her safety or an insane quest to become strong enough to protect her which as a consequence involves the complete negation of her agency.

i truly believe that deltarune is one of the most significant NTR works of the early 21st century. it's a kind of modern sorrows of young werther.
