As someone who has never in her life played deltarune and only knows shit from what hes seen in fanart: deltarune its about a transfem goat, a nonbinary blue person and a purple dinosaur girl that go on adventures. So the dino girl is in yuris (?) with a Christmas-based reindeer girl with religious guilt who's sister died (or dissappeared?) and turned into a spiky Knight looking creature. But also jesus. Im not sure. Then on the side theres a tv and a mailman. Dunno what they have to do With anything. They're just There ig. And sometimes i see some shit that looks like really terrifying horror????? Like noelle wearing a weird spiky crown kris gave her for Some reason. And smth about someone taking someone else home. Did i mention the suicidal yellow cowboy and his blue boyfriend. There are flowers. They might be dead. They're ralsei's dad's kids or something. There is a blue reddit user bird sometimes. There is a black cat with weird eyes.

"Ralsei's so mean this chapter!" "Ralsei's being so weird!" "Ralsei's lashing out so much!"
How were you as a teenager? How were you as a teenager, while you were actively figuring out who you are and who you want to be while trying to push back against the box you were put in for your entire childhood? How many cringe ass memories from middle school do you have? How many regrets do you have from the time you were growing up where you think "I could've been kinder"?
We're watching Ralsei grow up, and chap 5 was the first of the growing pains. They're being mean because that's their expression of autonomy! Ralsei has been nice since the beginning, overly so, to the point that it pushed Susie away. Probably because it made her uncomfortable, because she's had to deal with insincere or pitying kindness, and didn't like that she was getting the same from Ralsei.
We're not watching Ralsei just get meaner all of a sudden, we're meeting them. These are bits of the true Ralsei. The Ralsei that can cast fire spells and insults people who annoy them and who doesn't want to apologize first. The entirety of chapter 5 comes back around to the fact that we don't know Ralsei like we think we do, not only in what they're hiding from us narratively, but in who they are as a person.
TLDR; They haven't come out yet. Weren't we all a little insufferable in the closet? Give them some room, they're still figuring out how to turn the knob
i was talking on tw!tter about how "i really like the idea of instead of the fun gang breaking up temporarily after susie and ralsei find out kris is working with the knight they stay together cuz they end up deciding it's the most convenient option for now and the tension is so bad you can cut it with a knife" and then someone replied saying that the tension would be so high that you'll have max tp when you start battles so i wrote this

The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness
**The 2022 Lammy Award Winner in Transgender Nonfiction** Exploring the intersections of Blackness, gender, fatness, health, and the violence of policing.
To live in a body both fat and Black is to exist at the margins of a society that creates the conditions for anti-fatness as anti-Blackness. Hyper-policed by state and society, passed over for housing and jobs, and derided and misdiagnosed by medical professionals, fat Black people in the United States are subject to sociopolitically sanctioned discrimination, abuse, condescension, and trauma. Da’Shaun Harrison--a fat, Black, disabled, and nonbinary trans writer--offers an incisive, fresh, and precise exploration of anti-fatness as anti-Blackness, foregrounding the state-sanctioned murders of fat Black men and trans and nonbinary masculine people in historical analysis. Policing, disenfranchisement, and invisibilizing of fat Black men and trans and nonbinary masculine people are pervasive, insidious ways that anti-fat anti-Blackness shows up in everyday life. Fat people can be legally fired in 49 states for being fat; they’re more likely to be houseless. Fat people die at higher rates from misdiagnosis or nontreatment; fat women are more likely to be sexually assaulted. And at the intersections of fatness, Blackness, disability, and gender, these abuses are exacerbated. Taking on desirability politics, the limitations of gender, the connection between anti-fatness and carcerality, and the incongruity of “health” and “healthiness” for the Black fat, Harrison viscerally and vividly illustrates the myriad harms of anti-fat anti-Blackness. They offer strategies for dismantling denial, unlearning the cultural programming that tells us “fat is bad,” and destroying the world as we know it, so the Black fat can inhabit a place not built on their subjugation.
