Thoughts on Deltarune Chapter 5

New on the Ponett Gazette: I’ve compiled my spoiler-filled thoughts on Deltarune Chapter 5! Join me as I dig into the story developments, the new characters, and perhaps most important: what does or doesn’t make a “Tumblr Sexyman”?

How do you not feel horribly horribly helpless in regards to everything related to politics these days?

TADC obsessed anon here: I more meant what you thought about it as representation or whatever. As a fellow trans woman, what do you think about how a: it was a major release, doing gangbusters in theaters and it may be one of the most popular works ever STARRING a trans woman and b: how disgusting people have been acting about it?

(TADC spoilers)

As I grow older I think that the lens of "representation" can be a very limiting way to view queer fiction, especially things drawing from a queer creator's own lived experiences, and Jax's story is a great example of why.

By some rubrics, Jax is "bad transfem representation." She's a fucked up, maladjusted person who never actually even transitions, who pushes away and hurts most of the people close to her, and whose story ends tragically with something that partially evokes suicide. (Though the abstractions are still, you know, alive, and they seem to still be in there somewhere, so I don't like reading it as a 1:1 metaphor. And also obviously Jax's real world counterpart is still alive and seems to be doing better lol.) Jax isn't an aspirational character for trans women watching the show or someone who makes trans women look good to cis audiences. She's unflattering and suffers a downfall of her own making and only realizes that she's still capable of being loved after it's too late. Thus, "bad representation."

The tragedy of Jax's story is something deeply personal, a cautionary tale about the ugly side of dysphoria and internalized misogyny and bad parent-child relationships and what happens when you repress yourself into a jaded, irony-poisoned mess rather than letting yourself be vulnerable in front of other people. It's a pain that a lot of us can relate to, because real people don't always mirror "good representation," and seeing that pain expressed in a work of art like this helps us process those feelings and know that we aren't alone. The ugliness isn't a mistake, it's the point.

Yes, I also love cute and fun and hopeful and sappy stories about queer characters that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, which is closer to how most of the other characters' stories end in TADC, living happily ever after in a version of the circus where they get to live life how they want to live. Neither is the singular "right" way to tell queer stories, because we need more of ALL kinds of queer stories, because art is subjective and different things will speak to different people. And it's beautiful that this is a story reached such a wide audience and was able to speak to so many people. I hope Jax put things in perspective for some folks.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who care more about the wellbeing of fictional characters than the treatment of their real world creators, and this is how you get shit like people harassing and misgendering actual real trans woman Gooseworx and calling her a raging misogynist and all sorts of other heinous shit just because they didn't like the way she wrote her fictional cartoon trans woman Jax. People are insane about cartoons and are extra shitty to visible trans women online, what else is new?

Well, someone asked you your opinion on TADC before the finale dropped on youtube. What’s your opinion now that it’s public knowledge that the show is largely about being trans and is responsible for introducing a sizeable audience to our struggles. In the very least, Gooseworx’s posts have massively spiked how many people know the word “boymoder”, for better or worse.

A ★★★★ review of The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (2026)

Yo on the topic of anonymous praise for SLARPG, thanks for such an honest portrayal of relationships, both platonic and romantic. It was incredibly refreshing when I played earlier this year for the first time. I won’t forget my time with the game.

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 05:13:05 -0400

Thank you! I put a great deal of thought into the relationship writing since that's the heart of the game, and because it took so many years you can see it evolve over the course of the narrative. Though I think that ultimately works in the story's favor, since it's kind of an adult coming-of-age story for Melody. She's effectively speedrunning what I learned about relationships in my 20s.

Anyway my next game will be fairly different, but I hope folks like the relationship writing in that, too.

i just finished SLARPG for the first time 😭 I just know I’m going to miss these characters. This hurts worse than when I beat Undertale for the first time…

They will return, someday... in the meantime though it does mean the world to me that people other than me care about my characters

Have you played any of the Fallout games? It would be very awesome to read what you have to say about it (if you did, duh) :D

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 16:04:29 -0400

I played like an hour of New Vegas a decade ago and was excited to get into it but then it crashed in the big fight in Goodsprings at the end of the tutorial and I lost my progress and my desire to continue if that was a sign of the crashes to come.

I'll go back to it and the other games someday, I'm sure. I have the whole series from some bundle I picked up for dirt cheap. I've just never really been into western-style RPGs as much as JRPGs (and western-developed games inspired by JRPGs). Someday I will hopefully find the game that makes me click with western RPGs, it just hasn't happened yet.
