I gotta talk more sometime about how how Ralsei and Kris very actively and obviously don't want to be a boy. Don't want to be the prince. Cause it's pretty important to their characters and I wish more people understood this.

I need to make some kind of thank you post to the wonderful artists who have drawn Princess Ralsei and the like these past few months. I have more than 1000(!) images in my trans girl Ralsei folder at this point, it's wild. If you're an artist who loves Princess Ralsei, holy shit thank you!!

A sprite of Ralsei from DELTARUNE, thinking, about to ACT.

If a dude's just interested in makeup or skirts or something it doesn't trip my egg alarm but when they're written with internal monologue like "wow I hate being a man if only it were possible to not be a man. anyway I have to keep being a man, because I'm doomed to be" I start thinking, just maybe-

I think a few too many people out there are channeling so much energy into pushing back at Transfem Ralsei that I dearly wish they could put anywhere else. Creative works, actually advocating positive queer affirming messages, literally anything really.

Talking about queer characters and such in DELTARUNE is so easy for me because all of what I say is just factual and has evidence behind it and is personally a lot easier than me than talking about like, opinions. Because I am a very opinionated person but I'm also very sensitive lol

Now that DELTARUNE Chapter 5 has introduced many more examples of DELTARUNE associating trans characters with the "Blue-and-Pink" color scheme of the 🏳️‍⚧️ trans pride flag, I am extremely curious about exactly why Noelle's bedroom is aggressively trans flag colored... Very excited for Chapter 6!!

"You wanted to try this
one, right?
Blue-and-Pink."Pink's "Blue-and-Pink" colored shop, from DELTARUNE Chapter 5.Kris is literally blue and pink and white colored in the dark world like c'mon

And yeah I missed the key words there but Chapter 5 is so good because it is so TRANS btw!! It is specificially so god damn transfem and queer as hell and it's really beautiful!! DELTARUNE as a whole is very transfem and don't you ever forget it!!

I will never stop talking about how DELTARUNE Chapter 5 is genuinely so life-affirming. The whole game is but, Chapter 5 especially is a really sweet story about being yourself against impossible odds and it really speaks to me. Personally it has kept me in really high spirits these past few months!
