Huuhhh... I don't think the fox would be a nice friend...
deltarune comic I made last spring. still really happy with it, I had a lot of fun with the paneling.
ok alphys was a character ahead of her time and too good for this damn fandom honestly. she isn't some evil gaslighting lying cringey manipulator who only exists as comic relief for the love of god look at her with eyes less poisoned by cynicism and irony. she is a love letter to... well, a lot of things. a love letter to "cringey" people, to video game fans, to people who try to drown their sadness in fiction. she's so achingly relatable to so many of us that it really feels like toby knows his demographic like the back of his hand. we've all met someone like alphys. maybe we are that someone- awkward, nerdy, can't get over their past mistakes, terrible at phone calls, far more eloquent online than in person, only wants to make people like them to distract them from the fact that they don't like themself. normally, this character archetype is the butt of a great deal of jokes- just a gross nerd who needs to touch grass. but alphys is different. she is, as i said, a love letter. she is one of the best-developed and most complex characters in the game. her nerdiness isn't "fixed" or mocked, it's celebrated. her unabashed love for her interests and her 100% attitude is a big reason why undyne loves her. games, especially in 2015 and before, are not often so genuinely kind to characters like alphys! and in deltarune, too- alphys is still a nerd, despite not being nearly as traumatized as her undertale counterpart. her rambling about shows she loves is a constant across all universes, a fundamental and important and good part of who she is.
and i just think that's very kind, and very important.

you have no idea how important this aspect of her character is to me
kris and noelle discuss critically acclaimed fps game half dead 2, their missing siblings, and obscure human musicians like claude debussy
this feels like such a wacky thing to focus on but it is driving me nuts. what's up with this undyne sprite? she's never worn that outfit before - it's also quite feminine for her casual outfits, honestly, pinks and purples and pink slippers. and she's turned completely away so you can't see if she has one eye or two.
but more importantly, what's up with that chair? why is it literally #000000, the exact color of the background? why is it just a thin purple outline? i can't imagine it's actually important in any way but it's driving me nuts.
i thought it was the spamton sweepstakes chair but no:
that is actually way more detailed. it has shading and colors.
but what it DOES strongly remind me of is
castle town. the aesthetic of castle town is almost identical. paper-thin outlines around objects that are the same color as the background, which is #000000.
again i doubt this actually means anything, because well, how could it? but it's the sprite at the very bottom of the newsletter, it is separated from the rest of the text... it seems important, somehow.
