Aw, That's Actually Adorable, He Doesn't Want His Hair Cut, Makes Sense, He Must Have Taken Care Of It

Within Carina

A realization

I was thinking... Henri did mark Arthur with a ritual that basically ties the affected's life to the life of the person casting it, right?...

That means if they somehow manage to kill the devil, which technically is still Henri... there's a high likelihood Arthur may die next season, he likely still has that carved on him, he didn't get that removed like he did with the spying one that was on his back I think.

Next season will be interesting to say the least.

My thoughts on chapter 2 of deltarune

So, I've recently played through chapter 2 and I loved how this dark world was inspired by the internet, I also think that Queen was a hilarious character, I've also come to like Berdly a little bit more after this chapter? It's clear that he at least cares about Noelle, his... only friend that I know of, although I skipped most of his dialog because frankly I tend to do this to characters I don't care about, not to mention he lost an arm in an ending to defeat queen, something I imagine would be painful as it's an amputation without anesthesia, wonder why he wasn't screaming after that.

Spamton was also a fun discarded character, seems like every secret boss like Jevil and Spamton are discarded things, spam emails and the joker card, wonder who'll be next.

Speaking of secret bosses, it's strange how Noelle seems to know them? If you try to equip jevilstail on her she'll say she likes it, if you try to equip jevilsknife she'll be alarmed that it smiled at her and refuse to equip it, considering it's the soul of Jevil on that scythe just like Spamton neos soul goes to his glasses after being defeated, I wonder why Jevil smiled at her.

If you try to equip the glasses you gain after defeating Spamton neo, she'll say it looks familiar, how exactly does it seem familiar if you have never seen Spamton neo before? She didn't even see Spamton yet says his shop looks nostalgic in the snowgrave route, how? That is strange.

Also I noted that permanent injuries they received in the dark world affects their real world selves, for example, when Berdly lost his arm he found when he woke up that he couldn't move that arm that was lost, when he leaves you can note that arm is noticeably more stiff than the other one, when the connection between his dream self and real world selfs arm was severed, he lost the ability to control that arm, wonder if this will be truly permanent.

Another example is when Noelle froze Berdly in the snowgrave route, he didn't wake up when you come back with the others to the light world, I think Noelle will be extremely affected when she finds out she killed her friend and that the dark world was not a dream, makes the " it wasn't a dream " choice you have when you talk to Noelle after visiting her dad just... chilling.

I have a few other thoughts about Noelle but that'll be in another post, overall I enjoyed chapter 2 and I'm excited for future chapters.

To AI " artists".

Rant incoming.

Yeah, it's in quotations for a reason, you are no artist if you use AI to create.

So let me start by telling you how much of a lazy person one has to be to use AI to create for them, are you really that inept that you can't be bothered to pick up a pencil? So scared of failure you'd rather not even try at all and let the computer do so for you? That is just pathetic.

And before you use that excuse of " but disabled people..." that's incorrect, people have adapted to make art if they desired despite disability for a long time before ai existed, these are real artists that put in effort into what they create, not some lazy sack of potatoes like " AI artists" are.

In fact, even a child is more of an artist than "Ai artists." are, because at least a child has love for their creations, whatever they might be, a computer cannot do that, a computer cannot have emotions, without that, art is hollow, it's... not really art at that point, even a child's drawing has more soul and thought behind it than any ai slop will ever have.

" but it draws better than I ever could... "

Seriously? Let me remind you it does make mistakes too, it was made in our image, but it doesn't have the same logic a real artist has, it will have it's limitations, a computer cannot be a human being, it will not think like one.

And if you never even picked up a pencil in the first place, how do you know you absolutely can't be a good artist? You never tried, your sloth kept that future from you.

If you are too afraid of falling you'll never fly, so to actual artists: go on and make those mistakes, that's how you learn.

" but it'd take a lot of time to learn."

And? Of course it will, it is a skill, it will take time, but the journey is how you develop, you cannot expect to achieve anything in life easily, it will take effort on your part,like it or not.

So stop making excuses and maybe try actually drawing for once, without your precious little tool doing it for you, if someone like you can actually manage being anything more than mediocre that is.

" it's not stealin..."

Would you call doing some modification on someone's drawing and claiming it as yours stealing? Of course it is stealing, from several people even, it hurts actual artists and you deserve to have your stolen "art" drowned in poison, you incompetent buffoon.

I do not support AI art, and if you do... kindly take yourself out the door or I will do so for you.

In short: if you are an " AI artist" you are not welcome here, you are not even an artist, just a mediocre human being that I will be glad to block, take your shitty slop elsewhere, preferably to the trash.

Offscreen person: " excuse me, Mr. Devil, may we take a picture of you for the Wi..."

Heh, who knew the devil could be so charismatic, huh? Also funny that he was scrolling through social media in the first panel, but yeah, apparently the devil can be pleasant sometimes.

Also, that's a symbol for " heart" that he's doing, right? Fits the blood element.

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

Everything starts with inevitable chaos.

A drawing I made of the Gatekeeper, not sure if it turned out very good but I tried my best.

" Kian knows?"

This more doubtful tone does represent well his emotional state in Calamity, he was trying to stay strong, after all, if a leader loses morale the entire team does too, but there was some doubt showing in how he acted.

I think a good example of this was when he was trying to inspire the others after a loss, he was smiling while in front of them, trying to reassure them, yet when he wasn't giving a speech anymore, his facial expression changed, it just... fell a bit flat, showing doubt/worry , really shows the pressure in leading a team.

Even some of his teammates noticed this difference, though he didn't really want to talk about it.
